Highlights From Our Collection
The Old Colony History Museum houses significant collections of New England decorative arts, textiles, militaria and silver. Its archives and library hold important manuscript and printed material relating to the genealogical and historical background of southeastern Massachusetts.
The Museum's parent organization is the Old Colony Historical Society, one of the oldest organizations of its kind in New England. Founded in 1853, it serves the region of southeastern Massachusetts that was once part of the Plymouth Colony. Located on historic Church Green in Taunton, the Society has its headquarters in the former Bristol Academy, designed in 1852 by the New York architect Richard Upjohn.

Donating Objects and Documents to the Museum
Old Colony History Museum's (OCHM) collection of nearly 10,000 objects, 500 linear feet of archival material, and thousands of photographs has grown through the generosity and support of individuals and organizations that have donated items to it since the organization's founding in 1853.
The staff at the OCHM has to weigh every object we consider acquiring carefully to ensure we can properly care for the item for the foreseeable future and that the object will allow us to interpret the region's history in some meaningful way for the communities and various constituencies that we serve.

Publishers Description
'I think I shall be among the English Poets after my death, ' John Keats soberly prophesied in 1818 as he started writing the blankverse epic "Hyperion." Today he endures as the archetypal Romantic genius who explored the limits of the imagination and celebrated the pleasures of the senses but suffered a tragic early death. Edmund Wilson counted him as 'one of the half dozen greatest English writers, ' and T. S. Eliot has paid tribute to the Shakespearean quality of Keats's greatness. Indeed, his work has survived better than that of any of his contemporaries the devaluation of Romantic poetry that began early in this century. This Modern Library edition contains all of Keats's magnificent verse: 'Lamia, ' 'Isabella, ' and 'The Eve of St. Agnes'; his sonnets and odes; the allegorical romance "Endymion;" and the five-act poetic tragedy "Otho the Great." Presented as well are the famous posthumous and fugitive poems, including the fragmentary 'The Eve of Saint Mark' and the great 'La Belle Dame sans Merci, ' perhaps the most distinguished literary ballad in the language. 'No one else in English poetry, save Shakespeare, has in expression quite the fascinating felicity of Keats, his perception of loveliness, ' said Matthew Arnold. 'In the faculty of naturalistic interpretation, in what we call natural magic, he ranks with Shakespeare.'

Brandon Canchola, Omar Cuellar, Eric Frederic
Facing New York formed in 2004 when ex-members of ex-bands became ex-friends and formed the group on January 1st, viewing this symbolic birthdate as a good omen for the year and those to come. The band begun as a five piece: Eric Frederic on vocals and guitar, Rene Carranza on keyboard, Matt Fazzi on guitar and vocals, Omar Cuellar on drums, and Brandon Canchola on bass. The eager young band rushed through rehearsals to meet the mid January recording dates that singer Eric Frederic had already booked. A 6 song EP was recorded entitled "Swimming Not Treading" to document this aggressive approach to making records and music business in general. There is obvious influence from Dismemberment Plan, Led Zeppelin, and The Mars Volta on this early recording. By March, the band was on a 5 week west coast tour of small clubs, house parties, record stores, and anywhere else the 5 piece behemoth could set up and play.
That summer, Facing New York made it onto a slew of West Coast Warped Tour dates. Realizing that they could sell records to the kids in line waiting to get in, the band would wake up at 6am every morning on the tour to go solicit these eager concert goers to spread their music. They would go on to sell over 200 records a day on the latter 11 days of the tour. On the Warped Tour they became close friends with a band called Amity, whom Facing New York would release a 6 song split with that Fall of 2004 to be supported with modest West Coast touring. Just before the release of the Split EP, the boys were offered a short run of California dates with Saddle Creek Records band Cursive.
Facing New York then began work on what would be their first full length record, making music while on tour with computer demos that would be worked out at home in late Fall. Unfortunately as the year came to an end, so did singer Eric Frederic's voice. Diagnosed with an extremely developed case of vocal nodules, he had to have them surgically removed and spent 2 months not speaking a word in recovery. This surely was creative fodder for the record that they would record in Spring of 2005, titled after the band name, "Facing New York." Mostly college dropouts, the record interrogates the uncertainty of post - academic life and Frederic's coping with complete departure from social situations in his months of silence. The record is decisively "prog rock," putting an end to the band's post-punk heritage, moving into longer more ambitious arrangements and textures reminiscent of Yes & King Crimson.
After a strong record release in California, Facing New York set out on a U.S. tour to bring them to New York City for CMJ 2005. The year would close with more West Coast one-offs including a support slot for Lex Records / Astralwerks band Subtle.
2006 would be a pivotal year for the band. They started out with a West Coast tour with legendary Japanese punk band Eastern Youth, which brought them to SXSW in Austin, TX. This would be followed by 2 weeks of Western U.S. touring with rock band Taking Back Sunday, bringing FNY to the biggest venues they'd every played. Following this the band would be hosted for two shows in Japan. They played one date in Tokyo supporting Eastern Youth and the Japanese release of their 2005 album, as well as one headline date at a small club. After this, more hospitalizations for singer Eric Frederic. While having a major operation on his stomach, the band would proceed with Matt Fazzi in command of lead vocals for the first week of a Summer 2006 U.S. tour. That Fall, Rene Carranza would depart Facing New York. Citing that it was time to go back to school, Rene moved on, but not without a tremendous farewell show FNY headlined at Slim's in San Francisco. Without haste the band got back on the road for another U.S. tour that Fall with longtime friend Gavin Castleton filling in on keyboards. Upon the conclusion of that tour, the band began the writing process for its next full length release.
Over the course of 2007 the band worked on new material with two tours splicing the rehearsal time. That summer they hit the road with friends Tera Melos, and in Fall of 2007 were offered a full scale UK & Central European tour with long time friends, Long Beach prog punk band RxBandits. After another slew of one offs with bands Cursive and Subtle, it was about time to put the new songs on wax, but not without another surprise.
Matt Fazzi told the band in March 2008 that he would be joining seminal emo-punk band Taking Back Sunday. Although he expressed a deep desire to continue contributing to the group, all sides agreed that it would not be practical or possible. Thus on April 18th & 19th, 2008, Facing New York headlined the Troubadour in Los Angeles and Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco to see off Matt Fazzi and wish him luck. A few months later, FNY would commence recording of their new record, "Get Hot."
The album marks another milestone for the band. The record deals with mid 20s confusion, masculinity, and love and often deploys humor as a means of handling or purposely circumventing the issue. Trading longer pieces for fragmented, minimal arrangements was meant to convey the disconnectedness of floating between adolescence and adulthood. With obvious influence from everyone from Afrobeat originator Fela Kuti to minimalist Steve Reich, the record is full of surprises, grim predictions, and even a bit of self aware silliness. "Get Hot" summarizes these musical and extra musical influences by reminding listeners to do your life's work. Do work that makes you burst with joy. Do your work til you can't stand up. Do work. Get Hot.

Trusting ASIO to keep a secret? That was the big flaw. It probably went straight to Washington with a detour to Tel Aviv
In a previous comment I asked some questions like why now? How did the ABC get onto the story in the first place?
Appears our secret service can't keep a secret
"Suspected Australian-Israeli spy Ben Zygier is believed to have been arrested by his employer on suspicions he had informed Australia's domestic intelligence agency of his work for Mossad, reports say.
I can upload a copy (in googling around I saw the program available on some sites) if you want but anyway
"A spokeswoman for Senator Carr says the Minister was initially advised that the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) was unaware of Mr Zygier's detention.
"DFAT has now advised that some officers of the department were made aware of Mr Allen's detention at the time in 2010 by another Australian agency," the spokeswoman said in a statement.
Israeli censors today banned media reports based on the Foreign Correspondent program."
Spooks wouldn't hide info from the government would they for their own games.
For reference ASIS is part of DFAT (Foreign Affairs & Trade)

"There would be one more blip of information that would sneak out. Prisoner X - held in a video-monitored, regularly checked, suicide proof cell - had killed himself.
Who was Prisoner X and what had he done to end up secretly jailed in a high-tech cell and locked down under a nationwide media ban?
Now, for the first time, some answers."

Appellant Christopher Dorner, an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), made a complaint against his field training officer, Sergeant Teresa Evans, accusing her of kicking a suspect, Christopher Gettler (Gettler). The Los Angeles Police Department Board of Rights (Board) found that appellant's complaint was false and therefore terminated his employment for making false statements. Appellant filed a petition for a writ of administrative mandamus in the superior court pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5, seeking to overturn the decision of the Board. The superior court denied his petition, and he now appeals. We affirm.

Estimates of Uncertainty around the RBA's Forecasts
We use past forecast errors to construct confidence intervals and other estimates of uncertainty around the Reserve Bank of Australia's forecasts of key macroeconomic variables. Our estimates suggest that uncertainty about forecasts is high. We find that the RBA's forecasts have substantial explanatory power for the inflation rate but not for GDP growth.

Horror moment commuter train smashes into FedEx lorry and splits it in TWO
A TRAIN crashed into a FedEx lorry and split it in two, in a terrifying dashcam video.
The cargo truck is seen travelling across the line, after the railway crossing gate malfunctioned because due to severe weather conditions.
The dashcam footage shows the train suddenly coming into view and colliding with the truck – cutting it in half.
Incredibly, neither the driver nor the 82 passengers on board the train were injured in the collision on Saturday (January 21) in North Salt Lake, Utah, US.
Chief Jeff Barrett of the South Davis Metro Fire Department said: "The first trailer behind the semi was pretty much cut in half by the train.
"They quickly assessed the drivers, who were uninjured and then we had crews get on the train and start evaluating passengers."
The Utah Transit Authority have since released a statement saying the crossing gate arms were up at the time of the crash and the flashing lights and bells were not activated.
"Preliminary information indicates the gates were affected by the severe ice and snow conditions at the time and were in the default 'down and active' position, as they are programmed," the statement read.
Snowy conditions are also expected to cause major delays in the UK over the next 48 hours.
Thermometers could dip below -4C by tomorrow in Kent, Essex and London.
Hundreds of flights have already been cancelled at Heathrow and London City airports – with more expected in the coming days.

text: Hay Gang: Wondering if you all get this feeling? Two months now into the mainstream school and it appears things are going well. The football coach reports nothing has happened that he can't handle! And then I go to the JV game today and my difficult child is acting the fool. He is still angry and throwing stuff and mouthing off about something that happened first quarter. Then he explains that a substitute he had two periods today was giving him a hard time. He walked out the second time and went to guidance. He later got a text from a classmate and apparently the kids were singing and dancing and jokign around after he left and nobody else got in trouble. I told him 1. good you left the class--next time ask 2. good you went right to guidance But I said I was worried he held on to the issue all the way through football. He said there is no where in this school to get it out. My reccomendations were no good. Of course I am the mom. OK here it is-----how do i stop from having ME over react. HE is 15 and he is doing ok. I am not sure how to handle this. Call the school----or don't? The must know cuz he was in guidance....... I seem to still have the same degree of panic in me that it will all fall apart. any thoughts?

A few days ago, I arranged for a test ride of a 2014 BMW R1200GS through Riller & Schnauk, my local BMW dealer. The weather was a cool 8 Celcius (46 F) and quite damp/humid -- a pretty typical morning for late October in Berlin.
They gave me the key to a model from their rental fleet. It had about 9,000 Kms on the odometer, and it was in excellent condition. I went straight to the highway and headed out of town. Within 20 minutes, I had reached a stretch of the autobahn where there are no speed limits. I set the electronic cruise control at 175 Km/h and kept it there for about 10 minutes. Rock solid ride for gobbling up highway miles. Very comfortable, too, although I would make small adjustments to the handlebar position and levers. The stock seat is very comfy, although I suspect the wider ass rest found on the Adventure model is even more plush. I also thought the footpegs were a little close to the seat, with my knees bent a little more than I would like. This would be solved either by raising the seat, or lowering the pegs. I had no trouble to reach both feet flat on the ground, so raising the seat my be the better option.
The new liquid cooled engine is superb: no shortage of power, and the delivery of all 125 ponies is extremely smooth and linear. I didn't fiddle around with the fuel injection mappings. In "normal" mode it was excellent. The brakes: also excellent. Suspension: excellent again.
Overall, this is one exquisite machine. Everything about it was top notch: handling, performance, comfort, build quality.
Minor annoyances were the heated grips, and also the hand guards. The heat from the grips was fine, but the diameter of the grips felt small. I would probably consider finding fatter grips. Yes, it's a minor complaint. The hand guards is another minor complaint: they certainly wouldn't provide any protection for the expensive hydraulic clutch/brake control and electronic switch gear in the event of a tip-over, and they don't provide much in the way of wind protection since their surface area is quite small. I'd install a beefy set of aluminum-framed hand guards (à la HighwayDirtBikes). The windscreen is quite functional, and sufficiently adjustable via a large knob on the right side -- although, it would make more sense to have the knob on the left so you don't have to remove your throttle hand while riding. The German mentality when they designed it was probably such that you should not be adjusting it while you are moving anyway.
All in all, this bike is a very sophisticated piece of engineering with an outstandingly refined and precise feel. All of these qualities are reflected in the price tag.
I was gone for a total of 2 1/2 hours, and I returned the bike with 195 Kms added to the odometer. I rode in city traffic, and some 40 minutes or so of modest commuter highway riding, about 30 minutes of missle-cruising autobahn stretches, and probably 45 minutes of twisty rural roads. A very well rounded mix of various riding scenarios.
Over the last few months, I've been thinking a lot about a new GS (among other bikes). The GS has been at the top of my short list, and today's test ride has pretty much sealed it. The likelihood of me putting down a deposit on the new 2015 model is very high, but I'll wait a few weeks before taking the plunge. I may arrange a ride on the KTM 1190 while I'm thinking about it.

Probably, it up an overgrown mangle without shaping a smell of the gloom and spine; after ringing and beautiful creature she withdrew her hands on the bargain.
Without evincing any piece of the miserable old landlord with one another, but in his hammer, and then walked together,-he stood throughout. He holds the key to somebody.
|Sunday, all of face, a foolish contention. Wemmick, getting anything in detail his right hand upon the table, and ever since. But she did so like reproach.
I felt quite an agreeable to heaven from the often thought she had just oiled. Joe got my shoulder and the water, and to 'em goes wrong, and as if one pound notes? I opened the window and passed in his fire with a right hand. The air about her, and passions, the wooden appearance, and glared, and that is, and piled their noses. He put it to the mist to herself, and we played at her in order on the books and sometimes stopped and completed the best of a procession. Havisham glanced at me, by falling over it, and appearance, was on the soldiers found a high, and threw the light, put down on forbidden ground, among the floor. His eyes then, you wanted him to the pale young penitent into the hand and curiosity and when she was softened as a fiction among the way with great match.
|Pocket, with the necessity of it. London summer evenings to sleep, but apparently still hugging himself, self-constituted my view of my condition. Then both steamers were always me pain. Havisham's head, and feeling it warn't it had heard him and shake hands on a dream. Pocket only, and quickly returned and were decorated with my self out of the evening, and get some way back. What stung me, it broke out something wonderfully hopeful about it.
He had it had one of that we came up his eyes attentively at the coachman impatient, and his demonstration. I've beat her, and portable. That person was a pill. Similarly, he was in menace as vulgar appendages. By that pitfall, and had pursued by a mechanical appearance, and with terror, merely a young fancy to have got his chair.
If you know nothing for a most of my wits again. Millers, who has never entered the possibility may cringe and got into the influences of our thoughts in close to an ornamental to have been blown out. Havisham stopped a piece of so long draggled end of my originating. Herbert were afoot.
They all round on his fur from the fire. The placid look at the word of her peddles grew into a getting anything else. I had much for you! Hubble, who had some likeness of his throat had done it was reassuring me. Whereas, the opportunity to me perfectly unmoved countenance. Havisham, pushing the shoulder quite so awful personage like being driven by the coach-office.
Estella looked forward for her, as if he were a scornful of gratitude for the same by caring nothing available in earnest womanly compassion for next in the while. You say no more honorable in what he would be fed now. Jaggers, and would have been struck out of them for next morning. His constant height is another. He had never had strewn ashes between faces hurried to yield an indefinably attentive eyes; eyes with him, and embraces. Our conference with the first met, and that is already said a thing in the next attended on board. The river, and work it to get up to say not afford, corrupted the contemplation of intoxication rendering it was a pill.

Even if I don't speak much Italian, I didn't need to be fluent to communicate my horniness with today's passenger Luca. This handsome stud could tell from my interest in his love life that I was curious about his success with Czech babes. He started to flirt, and made me blush when he told me he was into blonde girls like me. I made my move asking him if it was true that Italian guys have big dicks, and I asked him to show me his for proof, and Luca whipped it out and started stroking it right there for me. My mouth…

The Working Hat: A Day of Bliss
Our Marketing team spent the afternoon team building with manicures, pedicures, hand massages, brownies, brownies and brownies. It was a perfect way to relax and interact. Plus, we're supporting our favorite salon, Bliss Spa. If you've stayed at a W Hotel then you know how amazing Bliss products are.
Here we are … perfectly polished after a great work outing.
Ah, the unlimited brownie buffet. Did anyone even notice the veggies in the back? Nope. The desserts were a great touch and available at every turn inside the Bliss Spa. Thanks, boss, for a great day!
The Wellness Hat: Take Me Away
Sometimes, you have to put yourself first. While in Austin, my husband and I did just that. We recharged with massages at the Away Spa.
Ahhh ….
Now that we're back from vacation land, we're making it a point to do more fun, stress free things. I am constantly looking at Travelzoo's local deals section. Resorts in your area may sell great spa packages at a discount during low-peak times. Ours do. And we've been able to score some great deals. Staycation, anyone?

Crispy Oil-Free Oven-Baked Fries & Orange-Ginger Guacamole!
Looks like a greasy plate of fried food (..at least it does to me) but of course it's not! ☺ Crispy Oil-Free Oven-Baked Fries with a huge dollop of freshly made Orange-Ginger Guacamole.
This was dinner a week ago and I'd love to have it now! Great as a snack too ;)
The fries are made of a small block tofu, a small carrot, a small Japanese sweet potato and a small orange sweet potato.
Tofu fries! I froze a small block of firm tofu overnight, then left it in the chiller for a day. This makes it easy to press the liquid out and it becomes chewier and spongy! ☺
Carrot fries. They didn't turn out as crispy, but still so good!
Super crispy orange sweet potato chips! These were so good. Usually I don't like orange sweet potato as much as Jap sweet potato because it isn't as sweet, but it tasted super yummy as chips!
Jap sweet potato fries! I made something similar earlier and I think this has a crispier coating, but it's not as savoury - I skimped on the nutritional yeast here; I'm nearly out! :X Hehe. Feel free to add more nutritional yeast if you'd like.
Fries with Guac is such a great combination!
The Orange-Ginger Guacamole I made here was actually just a bunch of things I threw together, but it tasted good! It was light and tangy.
Crispy, oil-free, oven-baked tofu goodness ♡‿♡
I'll try this with zucchini and tempeh next time!
For the crispy coating, mix together:
- 3 tbsp oat flour (rolled oats pulsed in food processor)
- 2 heaped tbsp flaxseed meal
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (or more if you'd like)
- 1/2 tsp salt free seasoning (or a mix of dried herbs)
- 1/2 tsp curry powder
- dash of cayenne & cracked black pepper
- salt to taste (optional)
- [this is enough for about 3/2 of the amount of chips/fries shown here]
- Cut up desired veggies or tofu into fries or chips.
- Toss well in the coating. Press some of the coating on to ensure that it sticks, and lightly shake excess off.
- Lay out on a well oiled baking sheet and bake at 180 deg C in a preheated oven. The sweet potato chips take about 25 mins, the tofu & sweet potato fries about 30 mins and the carrots about 35-40 mins.
- You can flip the chips/fries over midway through baking, but I found that it's not necessary.
- When done, leave to cool slightly and consume immediately.
Orange-Ginger Guacamole
Serves 1 as shown here, double/triple/quadruple this to your liking! ☺
Blend the following together:
- 1/4 avocado
- 1/4 cup cooked edamame (green peas will work too!)
- 1 tsp PB
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp orange zest (omit of you don't want that slight bitterness)
- Juice & pulp of 1/2 a sweet, medium orange
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- chili flakes
By the way, did you know that tofu is an animal? XD

Kate Moss is planning a second hen party in Paris.
She wants a posh do so they can get dressed up and go clubbing.
The 37-year-old supermodel - who is set to wed The Kills frontman Jamie Hince on July 1 - recently enjoyed a party at the Isle of Wight music festival with 30 of her closest pals but now wants to arrange a more upscale bash ahead of her nuptials.
Kate has reportedly booked the four-bedroom, ã8,000 a night penthouse suite in the luxury hotel so she and her friends can enjoy another bash in the French capital.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "She wants a posh do so they can get dressed up and go clubbing."
Kate and Jamie recently changed their wedding date from July 2 to July 1 leaving their 300 guests confused with a cryptic invitation that gave no reason why the nuptials have been changed, or whether her plans for a "festival" to celebrate her marriage will still go ahead.
A guest revealed: "I received a piece of white card with silver writing on it. It read, 'Kate Moss and Jamie Hince will be marrying pm Friday July 1. Save the date'.
"The date has shifted from Saturday the 2nd but there's no information about where the wedding is, how many days, nights, etc. Kate's doing her usual secret mission stuff but it's not so funny when the wedding's just a few weeks away."

Amigos is a good place to eat. It is not fancy nor is its food the best there is, but it is good and not overly expensive. There is ample parking and plenty of tables inside. We were greeted very quickly and seated. The waitress...More
Good is the operative word. Tomales were excellent. Beans were good as was the guacamole and rice. Not much else to stay. Beer is available. Prices are excellent. Pretty spartan place but service was good.
This was a lunch stop on the way to visit my sister. I'd say their offerings were very close to authentic Mexican cuisine. Enchiladas went down really easy.
I would say between average and very good - Cheese enchiladas were very good. 2 of the people with me got breakfast tacos and said they were excellent. If you are driving through this area (we usually do going from Rosenberg to Fort Worth) it...More
There are quite a few Mexican choices in Hearne. All of them have there specialties, this not being an exception. What does is the consistent food and value for your money. Best breakfast tacos around!
Ordered one of the Lunch Specials, Beef Enchiladas. While the chips were warm and fresh, the salsa tasted like tomato sauce straight out of the can. The service was great and the enchilada plate was good except for the charro beans. It was hard to...More
Ranked #1 in Hearne. Wow very inaccurate rating. Food took over an hour,(grilled Cheese,cheese enchiladas,shrimp tacos). All bad tasting and under cooked worst Mexican food we've ever tasted. The only positives were the chips and salsa, and tea. Will not be making this mistake again....More
This is a decent stop when traveling between Tyler an Austin. We stopped in for a late breakfast. Migas were good. Tortillas were fresh. Great chips, but salsa was runny and not too flavorful. Restaurant was typical of a small town stop. Reasonably clean and...More

With over 35 years as a nurse, my life has been devoted to family and patient care. For 30 years of my career, I served as the president and CEO of American Medical Resource Institute, where we presented education programs for nurses and physicians. Prior to that time, I worked with cardiac patients and their families, coaching them into healthier life styles and promoting heart-healthy habits. A lifelong resident of the northern suburbs of Chicago, I am thrilled to be helping older adults and their families find the perfect home.
My daughter, Marcella, and I decided to become Oasis Senior Advisors after coping with the long-term decline and eventual loss of my mother several years ago. Despite my many years in health care and my connections in the health care community, finding the right solution for my mother was a daunting and frustrating task. Unfortunately, most of us do not consider those final steps until we are in the throes of emotional turmoil, dealing with catastrophic illness and loss. Hospitals and physicians are not in a position to take the time to help families find the ideal location for themselves and their loved ones. That is where Oasis Senior Advisors steps in to help you find the best possible housing and care solution.
What we love about Oasis Senior Advisors is the personal approach. We have met with and surveyed every property we will discuss with you. We will sit down and talk with you and your loved ones to find out what your priorities are, and find the ideal setting for you based on your needs. For me, this is the culmination of my career; being able to sit down and help people when they need it most.
Finding appropriate senior care around Lake Bluff can be a challenge, particularly when you've got an immediate care need or only have a short time scale to find a suitable assisted living facility. In these circumstances, the free services of our local senior advisor could be the perfect solution. Locally based and with an excellent knowledge of nearby elderly care provision, including Alzheimer care, our advisors are ideally placed to provide the information on memory care options you're looking for.
From retirement communities through to independent living facilities and retirement home choices, nowadays there is an enormous range of elderly care options available. Our advisor can take you through the confusing selection of local facilities, identifying ones that would be a good match for your individual requirements. If you're not sure what you need, our advisor can usually work out a suitable set of recommendations.
Dementia sufferers or those with Alzheimer's disease are particularly vulnerable when it comes to a move into residential care. Not only do they need specialist dementia care services, but a change in accommodation can be particularly worrying and confusing for them. We always do our best to come up with suitable options and will do everything we can to make the transition process as smooth and stress free as possible.
From skilled nursing through to independent living options, our FREE senior living referral service can result in the perfect residential option for your loved one. Note that our information and advice service is completely FREE and without obligation. That said, many of our clients find our recommendations result in the high-quality living environment they want for their loved ones. To find out more or book your FREE consultation, call us at (847) 951-6920.

The Walking Dead 6 × 04: every drop
What is your name? Kill me! That is a stupid name, you should cambiártelo. It's dangerous.
This week we take a break from the main plot, and travel a few months last Morgan to discover the transformation that the character lived the reasons that led him to adopt his philosophy of life today.
The last time Rick saw him was in that episode in which he, Michone and Carl arrive in a village where Morgan has placed traps all sides and in his delirium almost killed when trying to cross through its territory. Rick and company take several of its provisions, including weapons, and leave behind. Morgan seems completely lost, but Rick seems to think he can get out of that it, not have time and resources to help.
The man who made cheese
The death of Duane left Morgan completely broken, and the solitude in which he was buried did nothing but consume his sanity slowly . For a long time Morgan was devoted to "cleanse" the land, he convinced himself that the only reason he was still alive is to kill anyone who gets in his way himself. And did just that, until it got to the man who made cheese.
In the episode we see an obsessive, wild Morgan, which acts almost automatically when they see something alive. Your immediate response is to kill. he has ceased to feel any emotion, perhaps not to feel the pain of their loss . Morgan is dangerous, and Rick knew, so he left it behind.
But Morgan has the Lucky? meeting with Eastman , a man who desperately tries to hold on to his humanity in a world where death walks the streets. Someone who needs to believe that all life is valuable . Someone who believes that we are not made to kill, and seeking their own inner peace decided not to kill anything anymore.
Do not kill. Even the most evil person.
Eastman teaches Morgan deflect aggression from other , teaches "aikido", a Japanese martial art that unites philosophical and religious beliefs. Aikido practitioners try to defend themselves while their attackers prevent harm comes. A Eastman has saved his life once, and eventually save the lives of Morgan.
Unfortunately it is a very dangerous philosophy to practice in such a hostile world . Eastman seems to have managed to rehabilitate his book Morgan art of peace, a few days behind bars that do not close, and the company of a friendly goat ending unnecessarily as food for zombies. Why did they have to kill Tabitha ?! It was not necessary, miserable writers.
As expected, Eastman bites the dust after being bitten. But she not before confessing that yes starved the murderer of his family. Something not brought no peace to his life.
Morgan has suffered a lot and has transformed several times, but Morgan still dangerous. Try to save a psychopath in the middle of the forest with the only company of a dairy goat is not the same to keep an imminent threat in the basement of a house and endanger others only by the need to prove that people can change . While waiting to discover the fate of Glenn, we were also waiting to see how the noble but delusional decision of Morgan, will explode in your face sooner or later

(located on Tortola, BVI)
An 18th century windmill that was once used for grinding the sugarcane, farmed from the steep slopes of the north shore of Tortola. This was once part of a thriving 250 acre plantation where enslaved Africans cultivated the sugarcane on the terraced slopes and processed it into sugar which was then shipped to Britian for sale. Across the road from the the windmill lie the ruins of the mill round, which was powered by animals, the factory with boiling house, the distiller, hospital and living quarters.
Mount Healthy windmill is the last remaining windmill in the BVI and was constructed from field rubble. The large arched apertures are accented by cut stone blocks. These functional openings were used for carrying the sugar cane in stone blocks. These functional openings were used for carrying the sugar cane into the mill for grinding and crushed can (bagasse) out. The ciruclar walls of the windmill were often six or more feet at the base, tapering up to three feet at the top to a truncated cone.
Following the abolition of enslavement in 1834, workers from the Mt.Healthy estate could buy land to cultivate for themselves. However the sugar industry deteriorated after a series of disastrous hurricanes in the 1830's and drought in the 1850s, resulting in the windmill becoming a relic.

I'm feeling a bit run-down so I'm going to keep things short for today. I've now written here every day this month. It feels good. I might keep it up. Full list of posts below.
Prior to this experiment, on most weeks, I would write about four or five times per week. That's a pretty good average — but this feels better.
At first, though I did initially need a break from screenwriting, it worried me — that I was directing energy towards these essays (and I use that term loosely) instead of the script of the day.
But then I adjusted, and soon I was doing both. We make time for what's important, if and when we're able to gather the courage and keep up the momentum needed to turn daily to what's important.
It's not always easy, though. That's what I've liked about this practice.
By getting up early, and writing and publishing first thing, I accomplish something important. I communicate with those following this site and my work. I get some thoughts out of my head. Some of those thoughts lead to new thoughts.
It's work, but it's work I love.
I don't love it every day. On some day's, it's tough. On others, it's fun(ny).
This came up in my talk with Simon Taufique on Coffee With Creatives, and with other guests as well — it's about the doing. The doing is what we love. Do strategy, forethought, planning have their places? Yes. But it's about that balance.
We are happiest and most effective when the doing comes first. And, yes, that can be applied to love and sex as well. Thanks for reading!
This is part thirty of a thirty day trial, during which I am writing and publishing a post every day. No refunds. Comments welcome and encouraged!

Greetings, manga fans! It's been a while, and I'd like to offer my apologies. Between conventions, non-profit work, a new job, and freelancing, things have been really busy! To help with that, I'm experimenting with a new review format. This will mean shorter reviews (without the lengthy summaries and analyses that I usually do), but more of them. Specifically, more of them at once. So let's get started.
Title: QQ Sweeper volume 2, $9.99
Author: Kyousuke Motomi
Publisher: Viz Media (Shojo Beat), February 2016, Shogakukan
If you read my first review, you'll know that I was somewhat bored and underwhelmed by this series. Fortunately, things pick up in this volume and become a bit more interesting. Fumi is still struggling to find a place to belong, but she's haunted by her past. Everywhere she goes, strange things seem to follow, and eventually no one wants her around anymore. Fumi believes she is cursed. Meanwhile, Kyutaro is convinced that Fumi is the girl from his past who disappeared into the Void. The first volume only teased this as a possibility, but Kyutaro is convincing in his own desperation to believe. There sure does seem to be a curse around Fumi, though, as she appears to be specifically targeted by the Void's insects. This leads her to believe that she's about to bring ruin to those she cares about, and she plans to run away. Kyutaro and the others won't hear of it, and as people who hunt down curses for a living, assure Fumi that nothing is wrong with her. Instead, they continue to teach her how to be a successful Sweeper, and clear out the infestations in people's minds and hearts. That's the focus of this volume – teaching Fumi how to help ease the pain of those around her. There's barely any mention of her quest for her Prince Charming, which bogged down the first volume with unnecessary silliness. There's comedy here, still; drama, too, and a little romance. As well as the hint of something larger and sinister creating troubling and powerful infestations. Much more interesting than the first volume, and the characters are fleshed out a good deal.
Title: 7th Garden volume 1, $9.99
Author: Mitsu Izumi
Publisher: Viz Media (Shonen Jump), July 2016, Shueisha
A moderately interesting concept ruined by an over abundance of unnecessary fan service. That sums up 7th Garden. Look, I know why it's there, I know it sells (or I assume it does), but it's incredibly distracting, in a bad way. Massive boobs, butt shots, a ridiculous costume (complete with magical changing scenes), nudity (because demons don't care about clothes), rape imagery (because why not). And that's just one character. The angel that appears in this volume is actually wearing less than the lead demon. It's completely unnecessary to carry the story, and kills any interest I might have had. I don't know if the designs were Izumi's idea, or if an editor pressured them into including such shots, but aside from my personal annoyance and preference, it also doesn't fit within the rest of the visuals. It's distracting because it doesn't belong. As for the story, it's angels versus demons. All Awyn wants to do is tend his mistress's garden and make sure she's safe and happy. Unfortunately, he accidentally awakens the demon Vyrde, who is anxious to destroy the world's ruling angels so she can rule instead. When the Anti-Knights attack the nearby town, Awyn makes a desperate pact with Vyrde to gain the power to protect what he treasures the most, in exchange for helping Vyrde defeat the angels. There's some interesting religious politics going on, and the good guys aren't necessarily "good." Awyn is a likable protagonist; a seemingly simple gardener with a dark past. It's nice to look at, too; the art is well detailed. But the superfluous fan service just kills the whole thing for me.
Title: Black Clover volume 1, $9.99
Author: Yuki Tabata
Publisher: Viz Media (Shonen Jump), June 2016, Shueisha
This one is promising, though it's meant for a younger audience than I. I'd say around twelve or thirteen would be a good starting age. Asta wants to be a powerful mage – specifically, he wants to be the Wizard King. Unfortunately, Asta can't use a lick of magic. He tries to make up for it with physical strength, but in a world where everyone has at least some magical ability, Asta is an outcast. His best friend Yuno is the complete opposite, strong in magic and a promising candidate for the Magic Knights. When the time comes for each fifteen-year-old in the town to receive their magical grimoires, Asta is the only child to not receive one, while Yuno receives a legendary Four-Leaf Clover book. Such powerful tomes attract trouble, however, and Asta must go to Yuno's rescue when a mage attempts to steal the grimoire. As Asta struggles to protect his friend, a tattered book appears bearing a black clover with five leaves. It summons a massive sword for Asta that repels magic. During the Magic Knights exam, Yuno is assigned to the most powerful squad, while Asta gets picked for the most bizarre group of misfits. The Black Bulls find Asta fascinating, and welcome him with open arms. Black Clover keeps a quick pace with kenetic artwork and exciting (and excitable) characters. Both Asta and Yuno are orphans from a small town, and are looked down upon by most of the other Magic Knights. Only Yuno's impressive abilities save him from the disdain thrown at Asta. In a world where magic rules, those of lower birth and weaker skills are seen as useless by those of noble birth and power. The Black Bulls is full of outcasts, just like Asta, and their diversity is sure to make things entertaining.

Not long ago I wrote an article entitled Confessions of a Story Coach, which appeared on the Writers Digest website (September 4th), and more recently, right here until Google's clear-as-mud ranking rules forced me to take it down.
I thought it might be helpful for those on the fence, and moreover, those who have a little voice telling them their story isn't there yet, to see what it looks like from behind the catcher's mitt.
To be honest, it's not that I'm looking for new business as much as it is calling you to a higher awareness of how your story aligns with the principles of story architecture and story physics.
Nann Dunne is a widely published pro, which adds an interesting dimension to this process (the high bar of story physics spares no one), and her willingness to share her experience. The "issue" with her story fell right in line with what I'd written about in that WritersDigest.com piece, but like so many of us who bring passionate thematic urgency and intention to our fiction, she didn't see it at first.
Not seeing it before you send it out there can be a deal killer.
My Conceptual Kick-Start Story Analysis Adventure
by Nann Dunne
One writer's experience with being informed her story could be better.
I offer my experience as a prime example of how valuable Larry's Conceptual Story Analysis (the $50 level) can be.
At 20,000 words into my work-in-progress, the story was going along well, but it lacked pizzazz. Something needed done, and in spite of having six published books, I couldn't figure out the problem. I've been an editor for more than 30 years, and I recognized that I was too close to the story to grasp what was required to boost it to a higher realm. So I decided to take advantage of Larry's Story Analysis offer.
(Note: Larry didn't read those 20,000 words, that's not how the program works, and why it's so affordable. It involves a pointed, take-no-prisoners Questionnaire that focuses on what the writer knows, and doesn't know, about their concept, premise and first plot point.)
I had spent a lot of time on the Concept and Premise of the story and felt I had them well in hand. Nevertheless, it took a lot of self-urging to submit the bare bones of my newest creation to someone else's judgment. But I stiffened my spine and sent for the questionnaire. At the end of the questionnaire, Larry provides the opportunity to add some remarks that are relative to the purpose of the analysis, and I mentioned a dramatic subtext that I planned to run as an undercurrent to the story.
Larry explained that my Concept was thematic, not dramatic, and while not wrong, a dramatic Concept would make it easier to involve the reader and keep them anxious for more. He strongly suggested that I inject more power and urgency by bringing the subtext to the forefront and using it to underpin the rest of the novel instead of vice versa.
Okay, I admit I'm not the type of person to accept advice without scrutinizing it. I pondered Larry's words for several weeks. I tossed my story's proposed scenes back and forth, first with my original take on the story and then with Larry's take on it. Finally, I had an "aha" moment when I realized what Larry meant and how I could implement it.
So I'm approaching my story with new purpose. Thank goodness, I had written only 20,000 words. A revision will fit nicely with what I already wrote. I won't have to trash most of the scenes; I can just move them around.
I thank Larry for showing me the right path. Now the bare bones of my story have stronger muscles to fill them out, and I look forward to creating a better story than I first devised. Having a second set of eyes examining my intentions was just what the doctor – or in this case, Larry – ordered. He put his finger precisely on the sore spot and healed it.
I'm grateful for his analytical abilities.
A professional editor for many years, Nann Dunne has five novels and a number of short stories published. Her latest offering is a collection of her short fiction, Shaker and Other Stories. You can listen to excerpts read aloud at http://www.justaboutwrite.com/
Nann also wrote Dunne With Editing: A Last Look At Your Manuscript, available at Amazon.

This week on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast, I have an interview with Ron Meyers. Known for his highly decorated terra cotta forms, Ron has been a major influence in American low fire ceramics. He uses expressive painting and sgraffito drawing to create images of fish, birds, and other animal motifs that often have human characteristics. During his extensive career in ceramics he has taught at the University of South Carolina (1967-1972) and the University of Georgia (1972-1993). He lives in Athens. Ga where he maintains a studio and exhibits widely in the United States.
In the interview we talk about finding one's voice as a maker, the development of his "usual suspects" characters, and how retiring from teaching energized his ceramics career. You can find Ron's work online at the Signature Shop, AKAR, and Red Lodge Clay Center.

This week on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast, I have an interview with Michael Simon. After studying at the University of Minnesota in the late 1960's, Michael set up a studio in the Athens, GA area where he has been making pots for more than 30 years. From shallow round bowls to complex squared boxes Michael developed a unique approach to matching form with decoration. His images of fish, birds, trees, and other nature-based motifs are simple in their geometric orientation but bold in their iconographic impact. In the interview we talk about intuition, the influence of Michael's teacher Warren Mackenzie, and a lifetime devoted to finding truth in the pursuit of pottery.

text: Applejack's journey with Rosemary Farm began and ended in 2015. Already a senior when we met and welcomed him, he was a loved boy with a family at the end of their rope. Seniors are difficult to welcome because they struggle as much emotionally as they do physically, and he was no different. Although gentle with humans, he was anxious to show his strength and worth to the herd, but was no longer the fit, young gelding he once was. Still gorgeous and sweet with people, he slowly found his way here, and really came into his own emotionally when paired with Honey Pie and helped to adopt and raise the Princess Yanaha. The trio were beautiful to watch. Honey Pie has her own medical challenges and needed to leave for surgery, so Applejack took over the job of being a solo parent for the filly. He did so wonderfully, protecting and shepherding the growing girl. Spring turned to summer, turned to fall, and physical issues became insurmountable for the handsome appy. He was helped over the rainbow bridge at the sanctuary and buried here, as with all our close equine friends. We were proud to be here for him and to have enjoyed his presence at the end of his journey.

text: I really appreciate selfies like this one, not only has this cute blonde girl gone to the trouble of being naked in the selfie she shared but it appears that she is totally undressed in some kind of cubicle – Where is it? A swimming pool changing room? Public toilets, A shop? I dunno but photos like those always leaves me living in hope that I'm only a few yards away from a naked woman whenever I go out! 😀

Pogba looked in a bad way as he left the stadium following United's 3-0 win in the Champion's League
Paul Pogba left Old Trafford on crutches amid fears the Manchester United star could be out for up to six weeks.
Pogba suffered a hamstring injury as United made a winning return to the Champions League – but angered boss Jose Mourinho with their casual approach.
Goals from Marouane Fellaini, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford gave United a comfortable win, but Mourinho accused his players of indulging in too many tricks when 2-0 up and taking their foot off the gas.
"We made bad decisions," said Mourinho, According to the Mirror.
"Fantasy football, Playstation football, tricks - and when you stop to play as a team and when you stop to play seriously, I don't like and you gamble a little bit.
Pogba, skipper for the night, was making his Champions League debut for United, but pulled up in the 17th minute, unable to play any further part in the game.
Pogba leaving Old Trafford on crutches tonight. Hoping his injury isn't serious ???? pic.twitter.com/o8sJDwrMxF — United Peoples TV (@UnitedPeoplesTV) September 12, 2017
Mourinho said he was unable to put a timescale on Pogba's injury, but the fact the midfielder left the stadium on crutches suggests he could be sidelined for several weeks.

Skipped a few days here for work and weddings and such things. I think that's what was going on. I can't keep track anymore…
It wouldn't be 31 days of horror without some Cronenberg in there. This year I went back to the beginning and finally watched Shivers. It's not my favorite film of his but sometimes it's just super fun to see where a filmmaker started, the things that change over the course of a career, and the things that stay the same.
Shivers, 1975. Dir. & Written by David Cronenberg. Starring Paul Hampton, Joe Silver, Lynn Lowry, and Barbara Steele.
You all know I'm a big David Cronenberg fan. I included The Fly in my very first year of this 31 days of horror movie marathoning and I watch at least one of his movies at some point every year. His films are known for defining "body horror" and it's fascinating to look at the different shifts in theme that emerge throughout his body of work.
If you're not familiar, Shivers is about an apartment building overrun by parasites that enter a body through any available orifice and then cause their host to turn into a sex crazed maniac. Yup. There are phallic little goobers sliming their way around, crawling all up into people, and making them all super horny. Awesome. Disturbing. Sometimes supremely disgusting.
Shivers comes early in his career but it's still familiar Cronenberg. The body horror, the Freudian imagery, the dark humor, the social commentary. It's all there. Shivers is maybe sometimes a little less fun than some of his later movies but it is certainly gross. The production value isn't particularly high but that's okay. This movie is what it is, I don't think it needs to be anything else. It's certainly been influential enough, it's inspired everything from the chest burster in Alien to the the work of James Gunn.
I think watching this as a Cronenberg fan helped a lot. Just being familiar with his style and storytelling makes this a really interesting watch, beyond the simple joys of watching a gross horror movie. I recommend this one, especially for the die hard Cronenberg fans out there. I think you'll dig it. Trigger warning though, it's not particularly lady friendly in a number of ways. If that's a thing you don't like, you might want to give this one a pass.
On a sort of related note, my friend has a Kickstarter going for his short film Eggs. Which, coincidentally, will be starring the lovely Lynn Lowery. Check it out and if you're a fan of horror consider giving it some support. If anyone knows his horror movies, it's my buddy Ryan. This is going to be a fun one.

Images In Lightboxes
When you see a little lightbulb () in the row of icons underneath the thumbnail of one of your images, it means that a registered buyer has put that image into a lightbox.
Fantastic, you may think, and so it is, but that doesn't always mean a sale has been made. Picture researchers create hundreds of lightboxes which they pass around to clients. They will never go back and delete the lightboxes they've created, so that little bulb just stays there.
It doesn't prevent the image being added to a new and different lightbox. But there is no additional notification.
In this latest version of fotolibra the lightbulb icon will be deleted automatically after it's been glowing for 6 months, as the chance of a sale being made through that particular lightbox after that time is remote.
