May 1, 1923 - February 9, 2018
Byfield, Massachusetts | Age 94
BYFIELD - Mrs. Ruth (English) (Bear) Tremblay 94, of Byfield, beloved wife of the late Bruce M. Bear Sr. and the late Eugene J. Tremblay, died peacefully Friday, February 9, 2018 at Avita in Newburyport.
Born in Salem, she was the daughter of the late James Ernest and Hazel (Hanson) English. She was raised and educated in Salem, where her family heritage dates back to the times of the witch trials.
Mrs. Tremblay began working at the former C.B.S Hytron during WWII. She then began her 43 year association with New England Tel & Tel, starting as an operator, and retiring from AT&T as management in 1990. She had a strong work ethic that she passed on to her family. She was very proud of her career and professional accomplishments, becoming a role model for young women.
Ruth was a longtime resident of the Town of Byfield and was a member of the former Community United Methodist Church in Byfield, the Order of the Eastern Star, and the Telephone Pioneers of America. She enjoyed spending time golfing, gardening, and traveling; and was especially renowned in the family for her Thanksgiving pies and secret turkey gravy recipe.
After the passing of her beloved Bruce M. Bear Sr., Ruth began swimming daily as a member of the Danvers YMCA. It was here that she met the second love of her life, Eugene J. Tremblay, and they would go on to have a loving marriage and blended family that would bring great joy to everyone's lives.
Ruth was not only devoted to her family, but she would often lend a helping hand to those in need. She had so much love in heart and was always willing to share. Her generosity was boundless.
Ruth lived her final years at Avita in Newburyport, where she received sincere care and love from the staff and management. They called her the "HEART" of the Spring unit at Avita. Even through the clouds of dementia, Ruth kept her splendid sense of humor. She was a true blessing to her family and many friends.
She was always there for her family. She loved her husbands and children and adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren and made many lifelong friends. She will be deeply missed.
Ruth is survived by her daughters, Elizabeth Bear Wik and her husband Robert of Cape Coral, FL and Plum Island; Paula Tremblay Burke and her husband Anthony of Topsfield; her son, Charles D. Bear of Byfield; her grandchildren, Adriane Collins, Lilla Collins-Malone, Bruce Collins, Michelle Bear and Collin, Ryan and Sean Burke; her three great grandchildren, Bliss, Kellen and Luca; her brother, William English and his wife Gail of Elliot, ME; several nieces and nephews; her daughter-in-law Lorraine Bear and her children Carolann, Linda and Heidi; Susan Shallies and her children, Peter, Kathy, David, Allen, Jennifer and Patty; and many extended family and friends. She was also predeceased by Bruce M. Bear Jr., and her sisters, Elinor Walden and Elizabeth Barr.
ARRANGEMENTS: Her funeral service will be held in the Peterson-O'Donnell Funeral Home, 167 Maple St., (rte 62) Danvers, Wednesday, Feb. 14th at 11:30 A.M. Relatives and friends invited.

"Dr. Amit Goswami is a Quantum Physicist from the University of Oregon (rtd) and he heavily builds on the reincarnation research in crafting a theory based on Quantum Mechanics, arguing that consciousness is a quantum non-locality.
If some of the other physicists are
right that the universe is basically a quantum program and we're AI
running in that program that have evolved out of the basic computer
physics, then reincarnation would just be a copying and reuse of that AI
program that is the basis for our consciousness. Reincarnation would
make sense then as a re-use of basic character design, just as in
programming a game one might re-use code for the core of characters but
with certain attributes changed.
Maybe AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) has already been invented in a

However, he found that he quickly became smitten: "Next thing I know I'm spending every day with her. We just hit it off."
But the thing that surprised him the most about her? "I was kind of surprised at how intelligent she was," Odom says about really getting to know Khloe.

James Tanner -- Responding to 21 May, Approach to Genealogical Research.
I sure missed meeting you recently but health issues in family eliminated my arriving to hear you talk.
You just always are so in tune to my thoughts, it is like we already had this conversation and seem to
think along the same lines. I could never post it as elegantly as you do though.
You have no idea how excited I was to see this topic and done by you. I just did a presentation on
who we are and how we became whom we are. Needless to say I started in Africa and used FTdna.com's map with their permission.
As the modern methods seem to swamp the older standby methods sometimes we have to go back to the original method and prove it out. With one line I had going to the Mayflower group, I did the footwork for years and contacted many people before a computer was functioning for laymen.
The joy was I was able to get the information, yes it takes time and diligence and determination.
Last our group did DNA data and it confirmed all the information we had gathered. Hurray
Not every name will do this and I would suspect it be less than 20 % that does but it is slowly rising to higher percentages.
Somethings about computers and humans frightens me. So many have no internet yet in the USA.
Yes, this is so true. Yet these are the people that generally have more information and accuracy than those in a big city.
Being exposed to this about 8 years ago by flying to Michigan, not even upper Michigan but our son's area had minimal to no internet service and what service offered was over the average persons budget. I used the library's system for two urgent matters. I received a call saying data was sent.
Our area had no internet. Library was accommodating, thankfully. Today, yes they have internet
available. It still costs far more than in our region.
Family in Montana has no internet in some areas. Some do but cost is prohibitive.
I recall PRES OBAMA got on TV one day and was notifying American's of something and said he was doing it via email and the internet. I wonder how many million never got the message. So what other areas are still skimpy with internet?
As a deeply interested history and geological person, I have followed our discoveries of how old they (scientists) think we are. Only last week they posted a new date line and found (released) new data on we are much older than they last thought.
Being a Geologist was my 2nd choice if I ever got to a University.
Now we have groups that have large amount of members but as stated by your post. Not many in most of the groups are modern day up to speed. I myself have never taken a formal
computer class but have set in classes as taught by instructors to master more skills. I have paid for assistance to learn more information on computer usage. I also had a great son that really hand taught me as he learned in college.
Worse, when I taught computer to others in 1974-5, all that is not viable. The concept took off and left many, many people behind.
A friend was in the other day and she said ,"I did all these things on the computer when working and when you decide to go back to it, very little is the same." She then stated she need a brush up class for modern computers.
Our society runs a basic computer class, we also highlight specific topics and then we have a class to talk about reaching various sites and how to do a gedcom and other activities. Attendance is spotty at best, especially considering we are members of over 80 people.
Those that attend are making forward progress, but if they do not practice what shown they are not able to remember for next event. Myself included, so I know it is true.
Some of this applies to our age I suspect. I was taught to teach students how to use a computer long, long before I had one. By the time I could afford a computer much of what I had originally learned was obsolete. Worse we were taught a computer can be upgraded and you won't have to worry about replacing it often. That was most of the teachers concerns, was cost and efficiency.
So as we move forward we must go back and pick up the scattered pieces that were left to wither and die.
I believe that is a must for those of us that that have moved forward.
We are a lot older a species than is yet determined I am sure. To many things point to a rebuilding of whom we were before and us coming back to it now moving ahead.
After all the writings on the stones in Wisconsin are not Indian as they kept telling people but they belong to early nordic people that were here 200 + years before Virginia and Massachusetts and Florida. The Indians were here a very long time and were very knowledged of our environmental
needs to be able to survive conditions. Rotate where lived, rotate crops, do not deplete supplies, move and keep alert to changes, share when given a chance. Nor did they waste like we do.
Almost no part of an animal was wasted. A use was found for it.
Thanks for your blog post.

A LASTING Teesside love story has been shattered by a sudden, fatal asthma attack.
Kristian Marsay, just 23 years old, and Donna Tate, 22, of West Road, Loftus, were a devoted couple for almost five years.
But on September 23, Donna was awoken suddenly in the early hours as lifelong asthma sufferer Kristian suffered a devastating chronic attack.
Frantically, she phoned 999 as Kristian struggled desperately for life and then began to fit.
But, tragically, he died by her side as she tried all she knew to save him.
Today devastated Donna told the Gazette in an exclusive interview that her popular "so special" partner has had more than 500 tributes on Facebook.
And scores of friends and family have signed a huge Union Flag hanging in tribute outside their flat.
Fighting back tears, Donna said: "He was such a loving partner, who always looked out for me. He was very caring and we loved each other so much.
"I'm still numb about it all and miss him so. I can't believe it's happened. He was one in a million. He had a brilliant sense of humour and loads of friends."
Although the memories are still raw, she described how the tragedy came out of the blue.
"Kristian had had severe panic attacks linked to his asthma before, but nothing like this. He used to use cold water in the shower to bring him out of his attacks, and had lots of inhalers. But on this occasion, nothing would help.
"It was about 2.30am. He just got worse and worse until he went into a fit. He was already dead before the paramedics arrived.
"I put him into the recovery position so he wouldn't swallow his tongue and then they spent at least half and hour trying to revive him.
"It was a horrific experience."
She said a post-mortem ordered by the coroner has shown the cause of death was a severe broncio spasm. She is not sure whether an inquest will be held.
Donna added: "Kristian was a brilliant person. He was very adventurous and loved jet skiing, canoeing at Skinningrove and his motorbike.
"He loved the Teesside area and all his family and mates," she said.
He spent most of his life in Liverton Mines and Loftus, attending Harry Dack Infant School and the former Rosecroft Secondary School.
His first job was at Middlesbrough, making fibreglass moulds and he later worked at Whitby Scampi factory, but was most recently unemployed.
His mum Deborah lives at Skelton and his dad Mark at Skinningrove and he has two teenage sisters, Sian and Katie.
Deborah said: "He was so well liked throughout Teesside and knew such a lot of people, who thought a lot about him.
"It's devastated the whole family."
Kristian and Donna had lived at Staithes before moving to Loftus about four years ago.
Kristian loved to have a pint and packet of nuts at the Mars pub at Loftus.
He also liked watching TV and had a big knowledge of warfare and current affairs, which he liked discussing with friends.
A funeral service will be held at 2.15pm tomorrow when a packed church at St Leonard's, Loftus is expected, followed by cremation at Teesside.
At 3.15pm, there will be a beach party at Skinningrove for family and friends.

Lazy Cook's Frosting
This simple frosting takes just about a minute to make.
See Also
recipeChocolate Ganache Frosting
Equipment ReviewMini Offset Spatulas Buy the Winner
Need a simple frosting that takes barely a minute to make? Whip some cream and sugar in a food processor. Whereas whipping cream in a stand mixer produces light, billowy peaks, the sharp, fast-moving blades of a food processor can't add as much air. Instead, they produce a dense, creamy consistency that works well as a quick, spreadable topping for snack cakes, angel food and chiffon cakes, and cupcakes; it was also very effective when piped through a pastry bag to make decorative edging. Even better, because the smaller air bubbles created by the food processor are more stable than the bigger bubbles created by a stand mixer, we found that the processed cream kept its thick, dense texture for two full weeks.
METHOD: Process 2 cups heavy cream, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in food processor for 45 seconds. Pulse in 5-second intervals for another 15 to 20 seconds, until cream has reached consistency of buttercream frosting.

Wedding Wire Reviews
I hired Tara only about 6 weeks before my wedding day. She kept everyone on task, calm and made my reception hall the most beautiful place on Earth. She was extremely helpful with all of my questions (as I had many) helped me keep the day on schedule and was right there beside me all day long. She kept me very calm. Tara has an awesome personality, is very outgoing and connects with people well. Priceless. Tara saved the day and I can honestly say my husband and I are disappointed we live so far away and aren't able to have Tara in our "circle of friends". I cannot say enough good things about her, she is an amazing person and truly a professional!!!
Alexis. S
Tara made our day run smoothly - we didn't have to worry about a thing! We were able to focus on spending time with our friends and family because we knew Tara would take care of everything else. A wedding coordinator is a MUST! Instead of having to worry about details the day of the wedding, I was able to enjoy and all the fun the day brought. I loved knowing that my Mom didn't have to spend her time making sure the day went smoothly, because Tara was there to take care of everything.
Maggie D.
Tara was by my side every step of the way helping me with all the details I would have never thought of. She did all of the decorating and without little direction made it look like I had dreamed about for years. Tara never seemed stressed even when a few minor things happened...her calmness helped relieve me and allowed my family and I to relax while she handled everything. I truly couldn't have done it without her. Tara is worth a million dollars but luckily for our budget she was extremely reasonable!!!

As my 9-year-old son pointed out after being back in school for a week, "girls sure love to talk." Yes, we do! We talk about food, clothes, family, career, weight, sex…pretty much everything. But not money. The money convo is tough! We hush when it comes to money. Whether we feel it's taboo, or we're…Read more

Follow Jeff Bertrand on Instagram!
Behind a recording studio a few blocks from both the Batman building and an active methadone clinic, prolific low brow artist Jeff Bertrand is painting again- which is no surprise. Really the moments Jeff isn't creating are a lot more rare. When he isn't painting he is artistically sculpting heads of hair as a master barber, or organizing art shows and the Free Art Movement Nashville drops around the city and beyond. Jeff and his wife Myka are fully immersed in Nashville art & pop culture, and I have loved being able to call them friends in my time in Tennessee. Jeff was a large part of most of the group shows I participated in- either because he conceived and curated them or our friend Joe Melanson recruited us and a rag tag team of no-gooder (and really kick ass) local low brow artists. One of the first times I started actively showing with Jeff and his gang was when he was part of the Art Flood relief show in 2010. I caught up with him downtown Nashville to check out his mural and say adios for now before my move to Phoenix, Az this month.
Bertrand organized a benefit art show with friends...
after the Nashville Flood of 2010
So what the hell is Low Brow anyway? Outsider art, and medium...and basically as non oil paint on canvas hanging in museum as you can get- but that's changing more all the time if Nashville is ready or not.

Nerina you must have sooooooo much patience to cut out those leaves on your first card! They look gorgeous and your velum flower is simply stunning!
Also loving your second card too of course - so pretty with the pastel colours!

I like the leaves! Both cards are very pretty, but the leaves add a softness, I think. Is that brown polka dot ribbon on the first card? That's a clever way to use it.

I ADORE both of these Nerina! The leaves do add a nice pop of green on the 2nd card, but I liked it without too :) Awesome work girlie!!

These are gorgeous, Nerina! Love, love, love that vellum bloom!
How cool is that re-make of the blooming branch card? I don't know which one I like better, they are both amazing! :)

Hi Nerina, good to have you back. Your vellum flower is so pretty. Finally rec'd my die for this and will have to make a few of this now too. Your second card is so pretty with the leaves added to it. You really make beautiful cards. Thanks for the shout-out too! Hope things are warming up by you. Spring has finally arrived here!

The added green leaves actually make a BIG difference. I prefer it too! You are so talented and all your cards are really beautiful.

divis200, 27 Aug 2016First, oneplus 3 doesn't come with cyanogenmod or custom kernels out of the box. Second, I've ... moreYou are completely missing the point. What you are barking at is a ironical post about benchmark scores. Since you are reading so much about technology, desperately trying to comprehend what means what you should really know what the SD821 is: a higher clocked version of the SD820. That is not much of a breakthrough. So the ironical mocking of Le's -honestly spoken- brilliant score is absolutely on point. My OP3 is underclocked to 1,7GHz and still flies. And please, do not make any assumptions about "people like me". You srsly don't know who you're talking to.
Emerakd, 27 Aug 2016He obviously doesn't know his numbers. An OP3 with Cyanogen does around 150k in Antutu. Out of... moreFirst, oneplus 3 doesn't come with cyanogenmod or custom kernels out of the box. Second, I've just checked your ElementalX kernel roms. It scores not around 150k, more like 146k antutu. Even if it's not 20k now, it's still 16k missing. 10% cpu overclock doesn't mean 10% overall increase of antutu score. Only cpu. Let's say your cpu scores 30k, it would score 33k after overclock, but even 10% would probably be too much for a phone to handle. Extra heat and power usage would make the device unusable if you could overclock it and if the device heats up it usually throttles. You might say that you can disable throttling, but that would leave permanent damage, could even break your phone. Let's say you could overclock your phone by 10% without problems, where do other 13k from the overall score go? 13k would be ~+38% overclock. That small overclock would take a lot of your battery life too even though it already isn't good. Also, you are saying overclocked this, overclocked that, but you don't know how benchmarks work or how overclocking affects your device and try to say that I don't know anything? Every day after I prove my point people like you appear, claiming to be smart when they're not. I'm spending hours every day reading about technology, trying to understand how it works and yet people like you without doing anything claim to prove me wrong. If LeEco Le 2s Pro gets overclocked and gets custom kernels, it should blow your scores away by your thinking. It will blow your scores away without any overclocking. I would love to see you showing your overclocked score, since you're thinking this is so simple. Oh, please use your overclocked device without no underclocking full time too. After you do that I'd like to know if your phone lasted a full day. I almost forgot to ask. Why are there no overclocked scores for your oneplus 3 if it allows overclocking? No one in forums talks about overclocking.
AnonD-576206, 27 Aug 2016This dude knows his numbers...Btw the other guy just made a fool of himselfHe obviously doesn't know his numbers. An OP3 with Cyanogen does around 150k in Antutu. Out of the box. You could just use a custom kernel and overclock the cpu a little. EX kernel for example allows overclocking. Around 10-15% should suffice. 150k + 10% => 165k. Voila.

AnonD-357954, 27 Aug 2016My OP3 with overclocking scores 1,62,000 in Antutu 6.2.1. Lame SD 821. :PYou can't overclock it. I've searched everywhere and there is no kernel that supports it. By the way, to get 20k extra antutu score from cpu overclock, you'd need to overclock your cpu by ~+66%. I would be surprised if your phone didn't lit on fire. It probably didn't because you didn't overclock your phone. If you overclocked your phone that much it'd mean that you have 2x 3.57GHz + 2x 2.66GHz cores. PC CPUs have a hard time overclocking and 66% would be extreme. Do you imagine what'd happen to your phone which doesn't have any cooling? Probably you don't because you thought you'd brag about your non existant number without thinking what overclocking means and how do you get that score. 20k extra antutu score isn't anything to brag about, but it's impossible to get that much just by overclocking with the technology we have now on our phones.
The last 2 pictures, is very identical with alleged Mi Note 2 Pro (6GB/128GB, 16MP front/2x12MP rear), except for the Mi's logo at top corner as the Xiaomi flagship marks.
In terms of performance, how will both versions differ . One has a higher processing power, another has lower resolution display.
When is it coming out? If Sami goes the 6 months upgrade with Note they will be ruining their reputation more.
My OP3 with overclocking scores 1,62,000 in Antutu 6.2.1. Lame SD 821. :P

As we were waiting to ring in the New Year, the snow began to fall. By the time we walked home, it was a downright snow storm! I was freezing when we got home, so we bundled in to warm clothes and went straight to bed! In the morning, the world had turned white.
These photos are taken out the window of our office. It was really beautiful.

How to Get Rid of Norway Rats
Nothing can be more frightening and gross than seeing rats scurrying around your place indoors. Both homeowners and business owners have really had enough of rats scurrying around their premises and would love to put an end to the problem as soon as possible.
One of the most terrifying rats across all 48 states of USA is Norway Rats. These rats are found in literally all the states of United States but are mainly concentrated around the coastal regions. Also known as sewer rats, these Norway rats are large rodents that are way larger than any roof rat you must have seen before. They are bulky in nature and are covered all over with grey to brown colored fur with a tone of grayish underbellies. Since they have a lot of bulk in their bodies, these rats can weigh anything around 7 to 18 ounces and are found to reach lengths of more than 16 inches. Interestingly, their tails can measure 8 inches alone.
Since they are insatiable eaters, Norway rats can be a huge menace to have in your house. These incontrollable rodents gnaw on literally anything and can damage the structure of your house. Besides just chewing on whatever comes their way, they are also found to spread epidemics like jaundice, plague, cowpox virus, rat-bite fever, salmonellosis and trichinosis. Other than all that the adverse effects we have mentioned, the presence of Norway rats can also contaminate your food and create large litters which are hard to control without proper intervention when necessary.
At Solutions Pest and Lawns, we believe that Norway rats are one pest that you should probably be better off without. Our exemplary portfolio of pesticides and other products especially caters to getting rid of the menace that can be presented by Norway Rats; not only this but we at Solutions Pest and Lawns believe that every homeowners should know just how to get rid of this menace.
A 4 Step Solution for Getting Rid of Norway Rats
The highly effective products we have at Solutions Pest and Lawn can work well once you have a plan regarding how to get rid of this menace. Controlling Norway rats isn't that difficult as you can achieve success by complementing the products on offer by Solutions Pest and Lawn with this exemplary 4 step plan for catching and eliminating the Norway Rats.
- Step 1
The first step to addressing the problem of Norway Rats is to carry out a detailed inspection of your home. This will let you know the areas where these rats are hiding and frequently visit. This step is really important as it will let you know the areas you should set traps and baits on. All the products and traps you buy from Solution Store would be useless if you don't know where the rats are hiding. Hence, you can start off by locating rat droppings and sounds of squeaks during the night.
- Step 2
The second, and perhaps the most important, step in the process is to focus on the effectiveness of the exemplary products you buy from Solution Store. The effectiveness of these products can best be experienced through a complete sanitation of your home. Rats are scurrying around your home because of access to food and water to live a happy life.
But once the nourishment is taken away from them, you would have a better chance at catching them in their panic. Remove all water and food sources lying in the open and sanitize your open. As effective as the products from Solution Store are, they need some sanitation from your side as well. Vacuum all bits and pieces of food crumbs, and grease/oil lying around the kitchen.
- Step 3
With the sanitation done you move on towards the implementation stage. While the filters in place at the website for Solutions Pest and Lawn can help you locate the best products for scaring away these rats, we have made things even easier for you by incorporating our offerings as part of the plan to make things even easier. You can start off with bait like Eratication to capture their attention after the period of drought that was inflicted upon them. The bait would work well when it is placed in the Aegis bait station.
Both the bait and the bait station would complement each other to form a way of putting an end to this menace. The food hungry Norway rats would scurry towards the bait and eventually get caught red handed. You can also opt for something like the Big Snap-E Rat Snap Trap, which is also good for catching the Norway rat in its act. What you prefer depends on your choice, but this plan coupled with the products from Solutions Store is great to put an end to the rat attack that has been terrifying you for long.
- Step 4
By the time you come to this step, you would have had freed your home from Norway rats. But, you cannot just start celebrating now. We at Solutions Pest and Lawns believe in complete eradication, which is why the 4th step deals with discouraging rats from coming in again. Maintain a clean home, dispose trash regularly, seal all gaps and use copper mesh around plumbing pipes to keep away rats from coming in. Even if they come in, catching them is really easy using the products mentioned above. Maybe Tom should have just paid a visit to Solution Stores for catching Jerry.
Although this article would be good to get you going in your war against Norway rats, you can let us know your concerns by contacting us via phone, email or live chat. We at Solutions Pests and Lawns are in this fight with you and you can count on us and the products in our store. Don't forget to also have a look on this exemplary Norway Rat Control Kit.
There are no products matching the selection.

Christopher Hitchens passed away this week after a battle with esophageal cancer. A gifted essayist and prominent atheist, it might seem odd that some of us had a discussion after church this morning as to whether he should have been mentioned in the 'prayers of the people', where we ask for grace and peace for those in need, including the friends and families of the recently departed.
I opened the discussion by saying that a couple of obituaries had included some variation on the idea that the writer would ask that Christopher Hitchens rest in peace, but that a) he didn't believe in any sort of afterlife, b) given his predilection to effectively argue unpopular positions, he probably wouldn't like to rest in peace anyhow. Do you undermine the man's opposition to organized religion by asking for peace and grace for his loved ones at a time of grief, or do you compromise your own professed values by not doing so? Do you risk alienating attending the service those who felt Hitchens was unnecessarily provocative and combative? Later on I asked our minster, James, if it would have been appropriate to mention Hitchens' passing, and he certainly thought so, but hadn't considered it while putting the prayer together. Others have struggled with the best way to recognize his passing, and none have expressed it so eloquently as fake newspaper The Onion with their headline, "Fumbling, Inarticulate Obituary Writer Somehow Losing Debate to Christopher Hitchens."
For my two cents worth, I was grateful to Christopher Hitchens for forcing people like myself to examine their faith critically, and from the perspective of an insightful outsider. In his book God is Not Great, he suggests that Christians in particular have nothing to support their beliefs but faith itself, and calls on them to be brave enough to admit it. Despite being diametrically opposed on the question of spiritual faith, we both shared an opposition to superstition, persecution and intolerance. Even when I disagreed with his viewpoint, there was no denying the articulation and conviction of his arguments.
More important to me than his potentially ironic standing as an atheist icon was his dedication to the values my faith group tries to share, such as truth, and justice, and most importantly his fearlessness in doing so. He walked in lock step with the Bush administration's actions in the Middle East following 9/11, including the invasion of Iraq, and debated that act with British M.P. George Galloway, asserting his position despite the boos from the audience. Despite supporting the invasion, he allowed himself to be waterboarded, dismissing that same administration's assertions that this was an 'enhanced interrogation technique' in a Vanity Fair article famously entitled, "Believe Me, It's Torture".
There are people of faith who believe Hitchens is perhaps now surprised to find himself experiencing the afterlife he did not believe in. Perhaps he is, but this 'eternal reward' is not the pole I build my tent of belief around. The only assertion I can make is that the world we live in can use more articulate, passionate and rational people who are dedicated to that most elusive of goals, the truth, regardless of their beliefs.

I've been taking care of Charlie for a week now. I thought it would be fun to teach her to 'shake' when she gets a treat. After all, she's great at sit and stay, so why not? It really, really isn't happening! She jerks her paw away and looks at me like I'm a crazy person. I haven't given up, but...
A couple of nights ago she was on the edge of the bed (as above) and dropped her toy over the edge. I got up and retrieved it. As soon as I sat back down at the keyboard she dropped it again. As I retrieved it she did a teeny doggie dance of joy and I realized...she had trained me to retrieve the toy in only two tries!
Well today is a better day, even if I'm off to the cardiologist with daughter #3. It is fascinating to watch her get a cardiac ultrasound, even if the reason for it is borderline terrifying.

COVENTRY'S international reputation as a city of peace and reconciliation makes it the perfect place for the world's first peace centre.
A centre of peace and reconciliation would unite religions and bring people from all backgrounds together. It would include a museum of shared heritage, explaining the contributions all communities have made to the city, a faith gallery and a children's world for youngsters to play and learn about a peaceful future.
The proposal is just one of the five ideas being considered for Coventry's bid for a multimillion pound lottery grant. Cities and towns across the country are being invited to come up with ideas in a Living Landmark competition.
John McGuigan, Coventry City Council's director of city development, said: "The city's reputation for peace and reconciliation is recognised on an international scale.
"There can be no better message for the future of all communities than we wish to live together in peace.
"In terms of the Living Landmark project, a peace centre would have obvious links with Coventry's history, but could also make an important contribution to British future in the world.
"This is certainly the sort of connection that the national judges may be looking for."
Projects do not have to be about buildings - they can include woodlands, waterways, bridges and open public spaces.
Cllr Ken Taylor, the Conservative leader of the city council, said: "It's clear that there is a strong interest in progressing a project that highlights Coventry's rich past, as well as its exciting future; a project that will have national and international impact."
Pete Walters, of city centre company CV One, said: "There is no other city in the UK as well suited to the business of conflict resolution as Coventry.
"Alongside the cathedral's world-wide ministry of reconciliation can be set the city's pioneering role in town twinning and Coventry University's peace studies centre, all of which has given our city a real international profile as a place that takes peace and reconciliation seriously.

Wells Fargo bank branches throughout Oregon and S.W. Washington are helping out those in need by collecting donations of food and toys this month.
All of the donations made at each branch will stay in the community where they were given to support local residents.
The company's annual toy drive in Oregon and southwest. Washington is taking place now through Friday, Dec. 15. Members of the public are welcome to drop off a new, unwrapped toy at any Wells Fargo branch. Wells Fargo will give the donated toys to local nonprofits for distribution to children from low- and moderate-income families. All of the non-perishable food collected from the public will be donated to local nonprofit groups.
The Next Door, Inc.
The Next Door, Inc., has partnered with local businesses to help raise funds this holiday season:
G. Williker's is offering gift wrapping with a donation to The Next Door, with proceeds going to The Next Door's youth mentoring programs Big Brothers Big Sisters and Mentor For Success. These programs provide adult volunteer mentors to youth ages 6 to 20 in need of a positive role model.
Hood River Trees, 3974 Portland Drive, will donate a portion of the proceeds from u-cut or we-cut Christmas trees Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 24 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Everybody's Brewing in White Salmon will donate 10 percent of its sales to The Next Door on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
There are also plenty of volunteering opportunities, including helping with tree sales and sending annual holiday appeal letters. For more information, contact Justine Ziegler, development officer, at 541-436-0304.
More information can also be found at nextdoorinc.org.
Donations for Native Americans
Lana Jack, Celilo Wyam tribal member, and Dale Walker, owner of Secure Storage, are once again collecting donations for Native Americans in the Gorge this holiday season. Winter items, such as clothes, boots, shoes, blankets and sleeping bags, as well as tarps, are particularly needed, and can be dropped off at the storage facility, located at 1400 Tucker Road (next to Nobi's), Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the past, donations of candles, ropes, batteries, gas and propane vouchers, towels and boxed and canned food items were also collected. Donations will go to children and adults of both sexes.
Hood River Valley Adult Center
Amy Mallett, executive director of the Hood River Valley Adult Center, said donations towards the Meals on Wheels program — checks should be made out to Hood River Valley Adult Center Meals on Wheels — are always needed. Every $5 donation provides one hot meal to a senior.
Donations of regular drip coffee, boxes of cake mixes (three of the same kind makes one tray of cake), warm socks, and cash and carry gift cards are also helpful. Stop by the center at 2010 Sterling Place, or call 541-386-2060 for more information.
FISH Food Bank commemorative brick
Purchase a commemorative brick to support the FISH Food Bank this holiday season. Bricks will line the entryway to the Hood River FISH Food Bank site, and can honor loved ones or special friends, recognize an organization, share an inspirational thought, or show support of FISH. Purchases help support the mission of FISH to supply nutritious food to Hood River County residents in need of help. Orders will be taken until Jan. 15.
The application form can be found online at www.fish-food-bank.com/pdf/Brick%20Purchase%20Form.pdf.
'Warming the Gorge'
Warm, handknit or crocheted items are being collected at Knot Another Hat for local warming shelters in Hood River and The Dalles, as well as for The Next Door, Helping Hands, and the people of Cascade Locks. Items, grouped by need, preferably in washable wool or another washable fiber, are as follows:
Hood River Warming Shelter: Warm items for men.
The Dalles Warming Place: Hats and mittens for men and women.
The Next Door: Handknit baby items and any sized child items.
Helping Hands Women's Shelter: Prayer shawls. You don't necessarily need to pray. Essentially a prayer shawl is a scarf or shawl where thoughts of hope and healing are said or thought while making the item. Those thoughts are embedded in the garment and will help those who wear it through a tough time.
City of Cascade Locks: Warm items for men, women, and children to include in FISH food baskets.
Bring items to Knot Another Hat any time until Dec. 17.
Warming Shelter
Hood River Warming Shelter, a service of Hood River Shelter Services (hoodrivercares.org) is open nightly at Riverside Community Church in Hood River. For questions about volunteering and donating items, email email@example.com. Warm goods are needed, including gloves and sleeping bags.
Each overnight stay contains three shifts: 5-7 a.m. (wakeup, checkout and cleanup), 5:45-10:15 p.m. (setup, intake and service), and 10:15 p.m. to 5:15 a.m. (evening prep and overnight watch).
Returning volunteers are asked to sign up for their first shifts at the email above, or firstname.lastname@example.com if they have not yet received the scheduling link.
For those who wish to donate physical items, the shelter is always in need of heavy winter gloves and sleeping bags, she said. Email to arrange for pickup or drop-off.
The shelter also needs volunteers to sign up for the Laundry Love program. Coins and laundry detergent — and about three hours a week once a month — are needed.
Laundry Love Coordinator Alicia Speidel explained that volunteers meet Warming Shelter guests at the laundromat at a designated time with quarters and detergent so guests can do laundry.

Few points that you would like to know about XML serialization that may be also important if you are planning to face an interview soon :P)
Realize that XML serialization:
1> XML serialization can only be applied to classes that contain a public default (parameterless) constructor. If you create a class in the Web service that does not have a public default constructor, the Web service will still compile, but when attempting to generate the proxy class on the client's end you'll receive an error message.
2> Read-only class properties are NOT serialized. That is, if a property in the class has only a get accessor, and not a set accessor as well, the property will not be serialized.
3> ONLY public properties and fields are serialized. Private properties are not serialized.
4> To serialize a strongly-typed collection of objects, have the class derived from System.Collections.CollectionBase adding an Add() method and an indexer.
Alternatively you can send an array of the specified type.
On the last point, consider the case where you want a Web service method to accept a set of custom class instances. For example, imagine you wanted to build a Web method that accepted a number of instances of type CreditCardInfo. One option is to have the method accept an array of type CreditCardInfo, like so:
public void FooBar(CreditCardInfo [] collectionOfCCInfos)
Another option is to create a strongly-typed collection class derived from System.Collections.CollectionBase. You'd then pass in an instance of this strongly-typed collection class. For example, you'd first create the class:
public class CreditCardInfoCollection : System.Collections.CollectionBase
public void Add(CreditCardInfo cc)
public CreditCardInfo this[int index]
get { return (CreditCardInfo) this.InnerList[index]; }
set { this.InnerList[index] = value; }
And then you'd have the Web service method accept an input of this strongly-typed collection class:
public void FooBar(CreditCardInfoCollection collectionOfCCInfos)
See this article for more details on web services and XML related basics...
btw, Happy New Year 2008 :)
Happy programming - DJ

Icons: Omega Speedmaster Manual/
The Omega Speedmaster is more than a classic. It's a legend, and some have gone so far as to say it is the greatest wristwatch (relatively speaking of course) ever made.
But this is only true for one model and one model only: the Lemania-based manual version. All the others are a waste of your time and money.
But why?
The reason is actually quite simple.
Back in the day, NASA needed a watch for its astronauts to wear. To determine which they'd choose, a couple NASA employees in Houston went out and bought a bunch watches off-the-shelf. The Speedmaster was one of these watches.Read More

What's cookin', good lookin'?
My future Champ, back for more!
The Pokémon Gym here in Lumiose City is just full up of Electric-type Trainers!
You can just feel the buzz, am I right?
It's also known as a quiz Gym.
You're looking a mite quizzical, friend.
You want to know why it's called that?
Haha! You'll find the answers inside!
Ah! You're that Trainer from before!
Come straight for a battle, have you?
Well, good! You can call me Bonnie.
I'm this gym Leader's younger sister.
Go ahead and step onto that small square a few steps directly ahead of you, would you?
You will have to answer my questions if you want to get any farther ahead!
Oh! Thank you again for coming.
Allow me to introduce myself…
This is the Gym Leader of Lumiose City, Clemont!
You'd better watch out! My brother's strong!
As long as you'd expect a Lumiose Cith Gym Leader to be, got it?
Bonnie! How many times do I have to remind you...
It's not my own strength that matters, nor any other Trainer's.
None of us would be here if it weren't for our Pokémon.
I know, I know!
Anyway, I hope you two have an awesome battle!
She's right about that, at least.
Let's both do our best in battle.
Your passion for battle inspires me!
M-my brother…
You lost?
Oh, Bonnie…
When will you learn there's no shame in losing?
I'm glad whenever I get to learn something new thanks to strong challengers like this girl here.
Now, to the victor go the spoils!
This Voltage Badge belongs to you!
○○○○ received the
Voltage Badge from Clemont!
If you have a Voltage Badge, you will be seen as a friend and equal by any Pokémon up to Lv. 70.
And here. Take this TM as well…
Oh, I know! I know this one!
It's TM24! That's Thunderbolt!
It has a power of 90, and its accuracy is 100 percent!
It'll never miss!
It's a really popular Electric move because of that!
○○○○ obtained
TM24 Thunderbolt!
○○○○ put the TM24
in the TMs & HMs Pocket.
Ardhhh! Bonnie, you--!
… … …
The future is now, thanks to science!
Behold the machine that gives: Technical Machines!
…I just wanted to be able to say it, OK?
At least once.
Look, I'm not… It's not like I'm just trying to make myself stronger or…
… … …
All I'm trying to do is enjoy every day to the fullest with my Pokémon, while doing the science that I love with my inventing.
Holo Clip received!
Hello there!
I wanted to talk to you for a little bit.
Could you come to Lysandre Café?
Do you know where it is?
You can see it from outside the Pokémon Center right by Prism Tower.
It's the red café.
Just hop in a taxi if you can't find it.
Be seeing you soon!

Bethel Police Warn Residents About Thefts from Cars, and Stolen Cars
Recently Bethel Police have received multiple complaints regarding attempted and actual thefts from cars as well as two reports of stolen vehicles. In these cases, and often in these types of complaints, the targeted vehicles are believed to have been left unlocked and keys were sometimes also left in some vehicles.
The Bethel Police Department is actively investigating the complaints received but also asks that residents take care to lock their vehicles, keep valuables out of parked vehicles or at least out of plain sight, and refrain from leaving keys inside vehicles.

"White Fire" - a book review
And I was pleasantly surprised.
I had not heard of this book, nor had I heard of any Sherlockian review of this book. Which probably means I don't follow enough really important Sherlockian sites, but none the less, there I was.
The book is one in a series about a Special FBI Agent named Pendergast.
And although this book doesn't go a lot into Agent Pendergast's back story, I get the impression he is a rather unique individual with many Sherlock Holmes like characteristics.
Very anti-social, intelligent and seemingly highly respected, he seems more than willing to follow his own path in solving crimes.
The Prologue opens with that famous meeting between Doyle and Wilde at the Langham Hotel, London. Also at the meeting are Mr. Stoddart and a Mr. Gill.
This of course is the meeting where Doyle would come away writing SIGN, and Wilde would write Dorian Gray. At this meeting Wilde apparently tells Doyle a story so grotesque that Doyle leaves the meeting rather abruptly.
This related story from that evening becomes the back bone of a mystery now set in modern Colorado where Pendergast's young protege goes to study some antiquated deaths for her thesis.
While in Colorado, Corrie Swanson, the protege, becomes involved in a case of attempted murder and arson.
Preston and Child also involve some BSI members in the hunt for the missing story.
The book was very fun to read and engaging. The characters interesting and somewhat sympathetic, which is required for me to become engaged in the story.
Included in the book is the pastiche, 'The Adventure of Aspern Hall', a stand alone piece which is also part of the story.
I don't know how much of the story that takes place between Doyle and Wilde is true, and I don't see Doyle as weak kneed as he appears to be after Wilde relates his tale.
But I enjoyed the book and found the Sherlockian connections worthy.

If you love zesty and fresh scents, then this new bubble bar from Lush is just the thing for you! Personally, the fruity scents from Lush are my absolute favourite alongside the sweeter, candy-like ones such as the 'Creamy Candy Bubble Bar.' Although I do love a good old-fashioned bath bomb every once in a while, I have a serious love for bubble bars because they are much more moisturising and nourishing on your skin! Sure, they might not be all fizzy and exciting but they still smell delicious and leave your bath water a pretty colour too.
Big Bang (£3.75) is one of the newer bubble bars Lush have added to their permanent collection and I have been loving it so far. It has the most uplifting grapefruit, tangerine and lemon scent - which is a perfect combination for me. One of the other main ingredient featured in 'Big Bang' is avocado butter, which of course will leave your skin feeling super soft and hydrated. As for the colour of the bath water once you have crumbled it under a running tap to produce the bubbles, it goes a wonderful shade of blue!
I can quickly see this bubble bar becoming one of my new favourites (my current favourites are Brightside, The Comforter and Candy Mountain!) Fruity fragrances are my ultimate weakness and I will definitely be buying 'Big Bang' again once I get through my current stash of Lush goodies! I would love to know what your favourite Lush products are and if you have any recommendation for me; so please feel free to leave a comment down below!

Greetings friends of the farm -
For those of you who don't know me, I am Chris Lutz, the owner of Roots Farm and the (often) behind the scenes instigator of the CSA you have supported in the past. In case you haven't already heard, I wanted to make sure you all were aware of the exciting things happening out here at the Roots Farm.
First off, five weeks ago my beloved Tara Faragoza and I were blessed by the birth of our first child, Antonia Sabine. Things are going well, and, yes, we are even getting some sleep from time to time! The next generation of Roots Farmers is on her way to the strawberry patch....well, not quite yet.
Secondly, you should know about the exciting alliance we have made for this season with the folks from the Full Moon Farm. For many years now, Jason Mann and his crew have been operating Full Moon in the Athens area. They have been amongst our biggest allies and inspiration as we have grown Roots into what it is today. You may know Full Moon as the primary produce supplier to Farm 255 in Athens and also Jason's excellent new Farm Burger restaurants in Atlanta.
As it became clear that things in my life were changing I turned to Jason for advice on how I might change things around the farm to better suit the new reality around Roots. We quickly saw the benefits of joining forces to provide Full Moon Farm with a new and dynamic home and provide Roots with a capable and ambitious crew to operate the farm. Thus, our vision for a (slightly) new direction for Roots was born and I agreed to lease the farm to Jason to operate as Full Moon Farm.
I have been watching with excitement as Jack Mathews, the new farm manager, and his crew have been sowing seeds, turning the earth, and making big plans for this next year. I can tell already that this season will continue on in Root's fine tradition of honoring the earth's bounty and providing amazing, nourishing food to our community.
In additioon to letting all of you know about our new stewards, I also want to encourage all of you to continue to support the mission of the Roots Farm by signing up for another season of veggies through the Full Moon Farm's 2012 CSA program. I think this is an exciting opportunity for those of you have been long time members of our CSA. While the offerings from Full Moon will include many of the veggies you've come to love, there are bound to be new and exciting surprises in your box every week. The structure of the CSA hasn't really changed much and they will be offering both on farm (Winterville) pick up and an in town location on Fridays. For more information or to sign up for this season, please check out the Full Moon website at: http://www.fullmooncoop.org/csa/. Full Moon will also be representing at the Athens Farmers Markets on both Wednesday and Saturday. Please stop by to get some great veggies, meet farmer Jack, and support all of our wonderfull local farmers and business people.
If you are wondering what happened to farmer Sara, worry not, she's still here in Athens. Sara's taking a bit of time off of farming full time and devoting herself to her many and varied passions. She is doing a bit of farming this year, helping out our friends at Cedar Grove Farm. Rumor has it she'll be operating their booth at the mid-week Athens Farmers Market so stop by and say hello.
If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact us at one of the emails below. Please DO NOT resond to this email as we aren't checking the old Roots email or phone number right now. The contacts below are the best way to keep in touch.
Chris = firstname.lastname@example.com
Farm Manager Jack Mathews = email@example.com
Thanks for keeping in touch and for your support of local foods!
Chris Lutz

Popcorn is an all-time favorite, loved by grownups and children equally! Visit any local movie theater and the scent in the air is like it just rained butter and caramel.
Why Start a Gourmet popcorn Business?
One of the many reasons that the gourmet popcorn business is gaining popularity is due to the low startup cost and gourmet flavored popcorn is straightforward enough to make with easily available flavorings, popcorn machines and off the shelf kitchen equipment that will fit right into any kiosk or modest storefront.
What makes popcorn gourmet is simply the creative aspects of it! Therefore, you are someone who loves cooking and experimenting with different ingredients, seasoning and recipes, starting a gourmet popcorn shop is no doubt a right fit business idea for you!
Gourmet popcorn Business Easy Start
The main appeal of running a popcorn business is that you need only a few basic ingredients – high-quality cooking oil, top-of-the-range popcorn kernels and sophisticated flavourings.
As far as flavours go, there's an immense variety available. For savoury options, think cheeses, herbs and butters. For sweetness, consider chocolates and caramels. If you're really enthusiastic, you can make your own flavours by hand. Encourage customer feedback so that you work out which products are the most popular.

How to choose a popcorn machine?
Choosing the right machine is typically another question that frequently arises among new popcorn business start ups. We have summaries 3 simple and practical tips on how you can approach this question.
1. Budget for Popcorn machine
First, you certainly want to decide on your budget, how much are you going to invest for your popcorn machine? If you can afford more, you definitely should think about getting a higher-end machine so as to reduce the hassle of worrying on constant up keeping of parts replacement. Therefore bottom line, a high-end machine which cost more is going to cost less in terms of maintenance and replacement cost.
2. Ease of Maintenance of Popcorn Machine
One of the next things you should consider when buying popcorn machines is cleaning. These Popcorn machines tend to make a mess during popping. Consequently, it is best to select popcorn machines that are simple to wash and maintain.
3. Efficiency of the Popcorn Machine
Lastly, you would want to test the machine out before buying as getting as purchasing a low efficiency machine will cost you a lot in terms of have a higher of un-popped corns. Therefore be sure to test the machine out before you hand your money over.
3 Best Popcorn Machine to get started
You can consider purchasing a Electric Popcorn Popper or Stove top popcorn popper to test out your recipes and flavors research:
Mini "movie theater style" popcorn machine
Eventually when you think you are ready to set up a small-medium gourmet popcorn shopfront, you can consider getting something like this Small Scale Popping Plant:

Gourmet Popcorn Business key to success
The key to popcorn success lies in your creative cooking flair. Rather than working according to the same formula that every other gourmet popcorn business executes, go for an element of surprise. Attract your clients with unexpected flavours and unusual ideas so that you stand out from the crowd. This is your chance to combine your culinary skills with your imagination!
Setting up
The good news is you won't need to pay too much rent. To begin, you can invest in a mobile popcorn cooking machine, which means that you'll be able to be hired for big parties, or set up at markets and busy retail areas. Use a rainbow of colours to attract the kids, and you're bound to have a queue in no time. Make sure that your brand name is clearly marked on your popcorn bags and buckets.
You can then consider setting up a small kiosk or shop, or moving operations to a commercial kitchen, from which you can offer online and delivery orders. Just be careful to meet all regulations pertaining to food safety and hygiene.
Spreading the word
A website is a must, as it allows you to be accessible to customers through search engines and the like. It also helps you to build credibility for your brand and provides a space where you can list all your services, products and news. Don't forget to include positive testimonials and clear, impressive photos of what you have an offer. It's crucial that your site looks professional – if you're not confident with design and IT, hire someone to do it for you.
Summary on gourmet popcorn startup
Starting a new popcorn business takes a lot of faith, passion, courage and commitment. Be sure to consider all your options and discuss this through with your love ones before embarking on this exciting journey.
It truly makes a difference when you are starting on this new business entrepreneur path having the great support of your love ones. If it all works out, appreciate if you drop us an email to share with us your journey. Cheers!

Laundry & Household Cleaning

Fresh, clean laundry, streak-free windows and shining floors - which housewife doesn't dream of this?

Unfortunately, GRANDER® can't get the job done on its own, but due to the good cleaning performance in combination with the use of revitalized water, a smaller amount of cleaning products is required. When using the dishwasher and washing machine, the eco settings are adequate to get things clean. This protects both the environment and your wallet.
Housewives and men alike use GRANDER® water revitalization because:
- it ensures a more economical use of laundry and cleaning products
- it provides optimal cleaning results
- it reduces cleaning costs
- it returns to nature revitalised
