Here are a few more photos from the slide scanner. These are from one of my first visits to Norway - a country I have now been to innumerable times and feel a close affinity to. (Perhaps I was a viking in a past life?!!)
This was part of the 1986 Cycling-Europe trip I did with one of my closest friends Paul. Norway was the first time we had to ride on the opposite side of the road that we were used to.
The ferry over from the north of England took over 24 hours to get to Bergen on the West coast of Norway.(Sadly there is no longer a ferry service between the UK and Norway) The trip hit some fairly rough water and Paul was as sick as a dog. People really do look green when sea sick!
We were exceptionally fortunate to meet 3 great Norwegians on the ferry who were returning to Bergen after a driving holiday in the UK. So while Paul spent the night upchucking, I sat up and chatted with our new friends for the entire night.
We were then invited to stay with them, and they spent a week entertaining us and showing us their city. They have remained extremely good friends ever since.

As the sun set on the SNES era, a new breed of Final Fantasy was unleashed upon the world, the first to feature full 3D graphics. These new games would bring Final Fantasy newfound fame outside of Japan in particular, but their impact was felt even at "home." Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the PlayStation era!
As I sat down to write about my views on Final Fantasy VII, I found myself at an impasse. What could I possibly write about this game that hasn't already been said a million times over? Final Fantasy VII is considered to be the greatest entry in the series, and for very good reasons. It brought the series and RPGs in general into the mainstream eye, boasting amazing graphics (for the time), an intense and well designed battle system, and a captivating story with multiple twists that are still talked about decades later. This game alone made the PlayStation a must-have system for gamers around the world. But how does it fare compared to today's standards?
Let's get the obvious out of the way first. The graphics have definitely not aged well, and frankly, I don't hold it against the game. 1997 was a very experimental time for games, with 3D design being a rather new idea. The characters' designs are clunky on the world map, but they still retain unique elements that help to establish who these people are. What I find interesting is how the character models actually change when entering combat. On the world map, characters are short and exaggerated, but in battle, their designs change to more realistically-proportioned models, detailing the characters in rather intricate ways. These battle models even display different designs depending on which weapons a character has equipped, something that even some modern games don't spend resources to render.
Battles retain the classic ATB system, though new elements are introduced, such as changing the party to a three man team and introducing the now famous Materia system. When compared to later gameplay elements like FFX's Sphere Grid and FFXII's License Board, I'm not the biggest fan of the Materia system. When I was a child, I didn't fully understand it, and even now my grasp of it isn't much better. It's cool that the Materia system allows you to build the characters however you want, but I like having a more restricted system. I feel it really gives the playable characters an extra element of uniqueness when they focus on a single class, such as a magic caster or a fighter. I'll admit, it's a great first step for battle systems featured in later games, and mayhap I simply didn't utilize Materia properly, but for me? I could have lived without having to use Materia.
Where Final Fantasy VII really shines is in its cast and story. The game features by far one of the most unique casts in the series. We have Cloud, our hero, who's an ex-SOLDIER with a bit of a memory problem; joining him are a couple of eco-terrorists a flower girl, a talking Cat/Dog/Wolf hybrid, a giant puppet, a pilot, a ninja, and a freaking vampire (more or less). These characters are all unique in design and personality, each one bringing something new and interesting to the party's dynamic. These characters are so popular that multiple elements of their designs have been featured in numerous games. Hell, I think Cloud's Buster Sword shows up in more games than Cloud himself!
I love the story of Final Fantasy VII, though I feel that time has somewhat robbed it of its shock and value. The death of Aerith is on par with Darth Vader being Luke's father when it comes to spoilers, which is to say that it's a twist known by most people. It's unfortunate that Final Fantasy VII's popularity tends to rob people of this moment's value, but this raises another question for me. With Final Fantasy VII being so popular and its story so well known, is it worth it to play through the game in this day and age? That depends; does Star Wars become a worse movie once you know how it ends? Does Lord of the Rings lose its luster after being read for the first time? Simply put, Final Fantasy VII is one of the most popular entries in the Final Fantasy series for a good reason. While it has flaws and dated mechanics, what it does well, it does very well. Its story, characters, and gameplay wrap together to form a strong package, earning it a rightful place in the halls of RPG greatness.
Final Fantasy VIII is a strange game to me. Not bad, like a certain entry I refuse to discuss further, but strange. On the outside, Final Fantasy VIII seems similar enough to previous entries, featuring an immersive story and colorful cast of characters. But when it comes to gameplay, Final Fantasy VIII falls far from the tree. For those unfamiliar with this entry, let me break it down for you. Final Fantasy VIII relies heavily on the Junction system, which replaces the traditional magic and leveling up systems seen in previous games. Rather than learning abilities and spells through leveling up, the party has to "Draw" magic from enemies with the help of Guardian Forces, the term used for summons in VIII. By drawing, characters gain spells that can either be used to cast magic or refined into stat boosting abilities, though the stats that can be gained depend on the Guardian Force connected to the character. Leveling up a character only provides minimal stat increases, so to have truly powerful characters, Junctioning is an absolute necessity.
This brings me to my next topic. Minus a few specific areas, every enemy and boss is scaled to the party's level, ensuring that there's always a sense of difficulty no matter what level the player is. This leads to the interesting possibility of a player being able to beat the game without gaining a single level, which is rather unprecedented in the Final Fantasy series. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of the Junctioning system. At times, it can get more than a little repetitive, requiring players to grind for hours to fill up their spells and stats. It doesn't even feel all that rewarding compared to previous systems. Compared to say, Final Fantasy V, where I could level up separate jobs and reap the fruit of their rewards, I was just plain bored after constantly drawing and refining spells.
The story of Final Fantasy VIII is rather subpar when compared to previous entries. It starts off rather strong, following the exploits of Squall and the rest of his SeeD classmates, but towards the end it really jumps the shark and bends over backwards (yes, both) trying to explain some of its plot points. When it was revealed that all of the playable characters were orphans who knew each other, I actually laughed out loud at the ridiculousness of the whole setup. I wasn't expecting a crazy epic tale, but still, the writing at times felt amateurish at best.
Before I started this endeavor, I was really expecting Final Fantasy VIII to be the worst in the series. Fortunately, Final Fantasy II holds that top honor, so where does that leave Final Fantasy VIII in my heart? It's by far one of the weaker entries in the series, but I have to give Square props for trying something so experimental. While it may have fallen flat in my eyes, innovation like this is what builds the future of video games.
Before I get started with this section, I'd like to take a moment to plug episode 109 of Retro Encounter, where myself and fellow staff members Alana Hagues and Stephanie Sybydlo gush about our love for Final Fantasy IX. Make sure to give it a listen!
As I've stated many times before, Final Fantasy IX was the first RPG I ever played, and it held a special place in my heart even before I replayed it for this article. To say I love this game is a massive understatement. Within this section, I'm going to do my best to convey why Final Fantasy IX is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best Final Fantasy.
Final Fantasy IX has one of the best battle systems in the series, perfectly encapsulating the feel of classic Final Fantasy while also presenting new elements to the formula. The biggest example of this is the new ability system, wherein skills, spells, and abilities are acquired through specific equipment. For example, Vivi, the resident Black Mage of Final Fantasy IX, doesn't learn any of his basic magic skills through leveling up. Instead, he needs to equip specific staves, gear, and accessories to learn his abilities. This adds an interesting element to battle, requiring players to look beyond gear stats, and instead pick equipment that grants necessary skills. Of course, after fighting with that gear for awhile, party members will permanently learn those skills, making mid-game play an exciting time. I will admit, however, that battles do tend to run a bit slower when compared to RPGs released in this day and age. Fortunately, with the recent re-releases of Final Fantasy IX on Steam and the PlayStation 4, this pain is alleviated thanks to the newly added "Speed Up" mode, allowing gamers to drastically increase the speed of battles and world map traversal.
The story of Final Fantasy IX is one of the best I've experienced in a video game. Presenting a rather cute and fantastical exterior, Final Fantasy IX's story is filled with strife, loss, and a pondering on what it means to be a family. Death is an ever present theme throughout the story, along with a general sense of loneliness and unease. Each character in the party has an underlying sadness to them, whether it be Freya and her search for her long lost love, or Eiko and her crushing loneliness. And yet, despite all of these issues, these characters manage to fight past their flaws and come together to form a bond that no villain could break. No scene encapsulates this feeling better than Zidane's breakdown on Terra. After discovering his purpose for being created, Zidane succumbs to his sadness, abandoning his normally carefree attitude. It's only with the help of his friends that Zidane manages to fight past his oppressive despair and come out at the end stronger than ever before. If you haven't had the chance to see this scene before, I highly recommend you look it up! Or better yet, purchase the game and experience it for yourself! Even after all these years, it's still as powerful as the first time I witnessed it.
Honestly, I could've written an entire feature just on Final Fantasy IX, but for brevity's sake, I'll end it here. If you've yet to play Final Fantasy IX, you're truly missing out on a magical experience. Its story, gameplay, and even design remain strong to this day. I can't recommend this game enough, and without a doubt, it still remains my all time favorite game to this day.

From the back of the card...
An old man of Manaslu region still at work:
Age can wrinkle the face but can't sap the strength and spirit of the Himalayan hardy men.
This card is one in a set I got from a store in Portland selling Nepalese handicrafts. (Blank & unused.) It smells like the incense they were burning in the shop when I bought it.
Manaslu is the name of both a mountain and a region east of the Annapurna range. Most of the google hits (at least in English) are for tour companies that offer trekking packages.

Did you take the Meyers Briggs personality test on Aine's blog? It goes by the name 'Life is Beautiful' on my blogroll. If you like interacting with people you'd love this.
Once you know ur personality type Aine suggests how people of other personality type react to you and how you can be compatible. Aine and me are INFJs )moderately introverts). While Sarah and Margarets are INFPs.
You should find out yours too. Its quite cool. And gives disturbingly accurate results. :)

So after some lengthy International break the meaningful football will be back tomorrow that will see the Jose Mourinho's Chelsea side facing what could be a tough game against an in form Swansea team.
Last season we won both the fixtures against Swansea by the margin of 1-0 with Eden Hazard and Demba Ba scoring in the respective matches.While the margin of victory didn't look big, it was a rather comfortable win for The Blues as Swansea rarely looked threatening in the final 3rd.
This season though the Swansea had been undefeated playing some good incisive football compared to the last couple of season when they just looked to pass the ball and dominate the possession without meaningful end products.They have often threatened to score goals and their last week victory against WBA (3-0) is an example of how good they can be if given space in dangerous areas.
Traditionally Swansea has been a team who loves to control the pace of the game by dominating the possession but this season they have showed some real urgency in the final 3rd of opposition half and with the kind of physical players they have (Jonjo Shelvey,Wilfried Bony) this could be a good battle come Saturday.
And so here are 3 of the Swansea players Chelsea needs to be wary of on Saturday:

03 November 2011
A few strangling thoughts about the previous...
[ 1. ] I'm not altogether certain about how to sum up my thoughts about the work of Chris Burden. It's a varied body of work he's done over the years -- in terms of themes, but especially in terms of quality. Despite the stronger work (a fair amount of which falls within the first decade of his career), there's also been a high ratio of misfires or under-realized pieces, as well as a good number of works that were just plain weak. In fact, there's e enough of the latter to make me sometimes wonder if the early great pieces were -- in each instance -- just some sort of fluke.
As far as those strong early works are concerned: If anything, I mostly focused on works that I always felt had a strong social dimension -- "topical," as some have labeled them. Despite some critics having argued to the contrary, I think it's quite clear that Burden was feeding off of the world around him, being prompted by the cultural climate of the time.
[ 2. ] And it's that matter of topicality that gave the work some traction back then. In some ways, some of his more famously daring or severe pieces (Shoot, of course, and Trans-fixed) still have the same sensationalist reputation these days as they did back then. He was -- at times, and ironically -- perfect tabloid fodder. With people freaking out and getting anxious about the direction the country was heading at the time, they tended to look to the news for things that validated that perception -- "confirmational bias" being some a common impulse. Since, y'know, as the media has known for a long, long time: You'll never go broke pandering to people's prejudices, phobias, etc.. Far from it.
[ 3. ] Another reason for the canonical status is that a number of Burden's works have a remarkable degree of metaphorical resonance. One piece I didn't address in the post was Velvet Water, which Burden did in 1974. The work consisted of him repeatedly dunking his head in a sink filled with water, doing so again and again until he finally collapsed on the floor sputtering and gasping for breath. The entire time, there was a camera fixed on him, relaying a live video feed of the action to an attended audience which sat in adjoining space. At the start of the piece, Burden addressed the cameras, telling the audience: "Today I am going to breathe water, which is the opposite of drowning, because when you breathe water, you believe water to be a richer, thicker oxygen capable of sustaining life."
The audience, meanwhile, was aware that Burden was carrying out this action on the other side of a partition; because they were reputedly still within earshot of the artist's splashing and choking. It's another one of those works where the audience is put in a complicated situation -- in which their passivity and spectatorship becomes (in theory) problematic by way of their culpability in watching someone endanger himself. The whole bit about being party or witness to someone else's delusional undertakings -- it's a scenario that's bound to translate any number of ways. Like say if you ever knew anyone who joined a cult or got involved in some get-rich-quick scheme. Personally, the whole delusional/"transformational thinking" angle reminds me very much of something we all witnessed just this past decade.
[ 4. ] The Delillo bit's a little odd, innit. I suppose I'll always associate Delillo's Mao II with airline hijacks if only because of Johan Grimonprez's DIAL H-I-S-T-O-R-Y; which, when I saw it nearly 15 years ago, reminded me of a replay of my early childhood -- an endless montage of footage from various airports playing out the evening news night after night.
But what gets me is the sentiment expressed about the craft of writing, of being a novelist. Such a quaintly Romantic notion (it seems) to find still circulating in this day and age, with the cultural landscape having been transformed so completely my a variety of electronic media. But you still see that from time to time, the whole business about some writers regarding themselves or what they do as something akin to the "shaping of reality." Odder still, since -- chronologically speaking -- full-fledged po-mo irony emerged in the literary realm some years before it became common in the visual arts. But I think visual artists disabused themselves of thinking in any similar terms -- about seeking after or expressing any sort of cap-t Truth -- somewhere about the time that Clement Greenberg slagged off Jackson Pollock because of the latter's post-"drip" return to figuration.
[ 5. ] Ralph and Wayne each posted some interesting comments on Part 1 of the piece. Still, I've never been terribly convinced by the reading that attributed something akin to a "will to power" to the works. Assessments of that sort always struck me as a bit too much of a surface reading, a little too reductive (and in a way, little more than a cousin far-removed from more sensationalistic/tabloid-ish accounts). While the work frequently does often have to with power and social dynamics and such, I believe its far trickier and more slippery than that -- not so easily or squarely nailed down. Which is probably why I find it intriguing.

Beautiful card, Mina. It always amazes me how you get hair so right! I just can't do it.
Your little tale today reminded me of a story my cousin told me. She had come out of a restaurant with a group of others. They had all meandered across the parking lot and as she sat down in the middle seat of the people carrier they had travelled in, she pointed to her sister who was trying to get into another car and said "Oh look, Andrea is getting in the wrong car". Nobody answered and it was at that point that she realised not only was it her in the wrong car but there was an entire nknown family in there with her!
Hope the fairies bring back your noggins soon! Warmest wishes, Lesley

Just wanted to call your attention to the solo work of the masterminds behind Viernes, Orlando's beloved weird-fi psychedelic craftsmen. Sean Moore & Alberto Hernandez have both been working hard on a new effort to be released on Brooklyn's Kanine Records as well as biding their time with copious amounts of solo material. Moore, releasing under his full name, recently recorded a phenomenal cover of the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows." Using both synthesizers and organic instruments to mimic the expansive orchestral atmospheres of this track from Pet Sounds, Moore nails it.
God Only Knows (Beach Boys Cover) by Sean Moore
Hernandez, as well, is constantly posting new music to his bandcamp page under the alias Acoqui. His solo work deals in loops and ethereal textures that put you into a trance. Although he labels the tracks as "Demo Idea" or "Loop Idea," the majority of the work is able to stand alone and is reminiscent of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works volumes. On his tumblr page, you can download Acoqui's well-crafted digital mixtapes. Catch a glimpse of his live show and how he builds his songs from scratch before your eyes.
Acoqui performing "Adults, Puppets" at Stardust Video & Coffee
Watch out for both artists' solo albums and Viernes' second effort for Kanine Records due to be released in the near future.

As beautiful as it is...this world is not my Home. "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:2-3

As important as the front office is the workings of the middle office when it comes to investment banks. The larger investment banks need all three back office. They need the front office, the middle office, and the back office in order to function properly. If one of these office are experiencing failures or difficulties, it could result in many problems for the investment firm and the clients. The bank requires that the middle office completes their tasks so that the front office can work more smoothly and accurately. The middle office deals with internal corporate strategy, internal controls, and treasury management. As one could see, the middle office handles the vital workings of the bank.
Treasury management is one of the most valued department of a bank. As a matter of fact, most banks have a treasury management department for the support of the needs of the client. One task that treasury management is responsible for is the management of what the investment bank holds. This is to make sure that the financial, operational and reputation risk of the company is handled through the management of the liquidity of the firm. For larger firms, treasury management deals with trading in currencies, financial risk management, financial derivatives, and bonds.
Internal control deals with the effectiveness and efficiency of the handling of the objectives of an organization. It also makes sure that the investment bank provides financial reporting that is reliable. Internal control must make sure that the bank complies with regulations, laws, and policies. After all, if a financial firm is breaking the law, it can cause a lot of problems for the firm and the clients that do business with the firm. Internal control is responsible for preventing those problems from occurring. It is also responsible for preventing fraudulent activity on the part of the bank and the client.
Internal corporate strategy deals with the profit strategy and the management of the firm. After all, without a good strategy, the ability to bring in the profits is limited. If a firm just blindly conducts business, it is more likely to lose money. This department handles the part of corporate strategy in order to make sure that the corporation not only has a strategy, but it is a solid strategy that has a huge chance of bringing in the profits. While it is very responsible for the company bringing in the profits, it doesn't generate any revenue of its own.
The activities of the middle office are very important or large investment banks. This is why Co-founder and president of Highland Capital, James Dondero has a middle office set up to handle the business of making sure that the business is running in a manner that is legitimate and fair. With his experience in finances, he can pick up when something is off in the handling of business in investment banking. He wants to make sure that his bank is operating in a fair and responsible manner. Highland Capital is a good investment bank to get involved in for people interested in this activity.

Holiness means to be set apart or separation. God is transcendent, distinct from all of His creation.
God is separate from moral evil, sin. A good description of God would be Majestic Purity or Majestic Ethics. God is morally pure. Holiness is God's primary attribute and I think the one that He would want us to Know Him by.
Because God is absolutely Holy, sinners must be separated from Him unless a way can be found to constitute them holy. Do you have any guesses how that way has been provided? Is it by my merits or the merits of someone else?
The prophet Zechariah spoke of a day when everything on earth will be holy to the LORD – Zech. 14:20-21 On that day Holy to the lord will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the Lord's house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. 21Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord Almighty.
Exodus 15:1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: "I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea.
Leviticus 11:44-45 I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves about on the ground. 45I am the Lord who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.
Deut. 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
Joshua 24:19 Joshua said to the people, "You are not able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God; he is a jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins.
1 Samuel 2:2 "There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
1 Samuel 6:20 and the men of Beth Shemesh asked, "Who can stand in the presence of the Lord, this holy God? To whom will the ark go up from here?"
1 Chron. 16:10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Job 6:10 Then I would still have this consolation– my joy in unrelenting pain– that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.
Psalm 5:4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.
Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
Psalm 22:3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel.
Psalm 30:4 Sing to the Lord, you saints of his; praise his holy name.
Psalm 92:15 proclaiming, "The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."
Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Isaiah 6:3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;the whole earth is full of his glory."
Isaiah 40:25 "To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.
Isaiah 43:15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, Israel's Creator, your King."
Isaiah 52:10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
Isaiah 57:15 For this is what the high and lofty One says– he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Ezekiel 39:7 " 'I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the Lord am the Holy One in Israel.
Hosea 11:9 I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I turn and devastate Ephraim. For I am God, and not man– the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath.
Habakkuk 1:13 Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?
Luke 1:49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me– holy is his name.
John 17:11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name–the name you gave me–so that they may be one as we are one.
Hebrews 12:10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.
Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29for our "God is a consuming fire."
James 1:13-14 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.

During the recent pregnancy, I took advantage of the medical leave issued by the gynae after each check-up to catch up on sleep and get down to doing the long list of outstanding errands that had built up since… I dunno, 3 years ago?
One of the items on my To Do list that had been screaming for attention (but lost out drastically to the combined high-pitched demands from a 3 year old and 2 year old) was to sort and store the mounting wad of printouts from Candace's ultrasound scans that had been carelessly chucked into… some box.
Back in 2010, I started a scrapbook to store the prints from Coco's ultrasound scans, complete with the date, her weight and little anecdotes of each visit to the gynae. In 2013, when I was pregnant with Claire, I added the prints from her scans to the book. I wanted to do the same for Candace.
Flipping through the book, I came across 2 pages that had been dated 31 Aug 2012 and 21 Sep 2012 – but with gaping blanks where the ultrasound prints should have been stuck. Chucked between the last page and the back cover of the book, I found loose sheets of the missing images.
31 Aug 2012 was when we first found out that we were expecting twins.
21 Sep 2012 was when we lost a child. A mere 3.0 cm squiggle of a foetus. But nonetheless, our child.
5 Oct 2012 marked the next entry – complete with a picture of one baby – with no mention of the other.
13 May 2015 was when I was once again able to look reality in the eye – something that I had been too heartbroken to do 2 and a half years ago – and fill the empty black pages with pictures of Twin B.
Life works in funny ways. We lost a baby and yet, when we least expected it, we were blessed with another.
I sometimes wonder what our lives would be like if Twin B had lived. Would we still have had Candace – since she had come to us as a complete surprise? Making us a family of six? I can't imagine how we would be coping with 4 kids aged 3 and under now!
One thing's for sure – there are no gaps left. Not that we've written Twin B out of our lives – he or she is still very much loved and remembered. But there are no more empty pages now.
They have been filled – with love.

In the season of holiday celebrations and family gatherings, Christmas can create obligatory contradictions for some.
Take Jonathan Du Bois for example. A gas technician for Xcel Energy, Du Bois will be on call Christmas Day.
"If any calls come in relating to natural gas, I'll be heading out," he said.
Work schedules for gas technicians are made far in advance, Du Bois said, allowing for ample planning time. He has, however, had to stay home from family holiday vacations in the past. The forecasted frigid Christmas Day temperatures leave Du Bois to believe he will be busy.
"In that cold, people will likely have everything running in the house. A new nose comes inside and might find an odd smell and call it in," he said.
Room and board
The St. James Hotel will have more than a dozen staff members on duty Christmas Day. While Jimmy's Pub and Clara's coffee shop will close, the Veranda and Port restaurants will be open. Scott Hanson, rooms manager for the hotel, said the hotel is usually around 30 percent occupancy during the holidays.
"A number of times, I've had people come to the front desk, we'll help them out, then they'll pause and say 'thank you' for working on Thanksgiving or Christmas," Hanson said.
Those extra sentiments have stuck with Hanson. He said whenever he visits a gas station or grocery store on a holiday, he now thanks employees for working when most people are not.
Hold the popcorn, or not
Leaving the house to catch a new movie at the theatre is a tradition for many families.
Jesse Stewart, manager of Red Wing Cinema 8, said his eyes were opened to this holiday habit when he began working at the theatre eight years ago.
"It's a big tradition for a lot of folks," Stewart said. "People are very grateful and thank us for being open so they can come out for a movie."
Red Wing Cinema 8 will open at 11:30 a.m. on Christmas Day, and remain open until the 9 p.m. showings. "Father Figures," "Pitch Perfect 3," "Downsizing," "The Greatest Showman," "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," "Ferdinand" and two screens of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" will be playing.
Stewart said many Christmas Day movie-goers try to forego a snack after big meals, but the popcorn aroma is hard to deny.
"It's pretty common that people will come back for popcorn, or say that is smells too good to pass up," he said.

NO?RTH FRANKLIN TWP. � On Monday in the quarterfinals of the WPIAL baseball playoffs, the stage was set for a showdown between two premier Class AAA pitchers. Elizabeth-Forward�s Dan Altavilla vs. Central Valley�s John Rossi would have been a dandy.
Altavilla and his teammates are all set to begin their championship quest after an opening-round bye. But unfortunately for Rossi and his teammates, they�re already done.
Central Valley bowed out of the playoffs Saturday by losing 5-1 to Greensburg Salem.
�We just weren�t ourselves today,� said Logan Urtz, who got the pitching assignment for Central Valley (10-8).
In game played at Ross Memorial Park, the home field of the Washington & Jefferson College baseball team, Central Valley had only five hits off winning pitcher Mike Nowkicki. The Warriors didn�t string together two hits in the same inning until the seventh when shortstop Matt Bradford led off with a solo home run. And they hit into two double plays.
Defensively, Central Valley committed three errors, including two in the third inning when Greensburg Salem batted around and scored four unearned runs.
�We made some mistakes and they capitalized on them,� catcher R.J. Deweese said. �That was the story.�
So on Monday, Greensburg Salem (13-4) will meet top-seeded Elizabeth Forward (18-0) in a game between two Section 2-AAA teams.
�It was Logan�s turn in the rotation,� Central Valley coach Paul DeFilippi said of the decision to start Urtz and not Rossi. �Plus, I would have loved to see the matchup between Rossi and Altavilla. That would have been a good match-up to see. Unfortunately, we didn�t take care of our end of the deal today.�

Does Prada even make a wristlet? Their web site doesn't load for me and my Google searches have not been fruitful. Is there another term I should search with? Does anyone have another suggestion?

And now for a bit of fiction…Happy Monday everyone!
"Is it safe?" Laura asked as the sound of footsteps faded away.
Laura giggled in the darkness. Bryony could feel cold sweat beading on her skin. Something was tickling the back of her neck and she rubbed at the skin with trembling fingers. Jimmy opened the door and peeked out.
"Looks to be."
"Good. Can we get out of here then? I can't breathe."
Jimmy stepped out of the empty cupboard and in the dim light Bryony could just make out the thin threads of old cobwebs. She shuddered and stepped out into the cold, night air, stroking her now sore neck. Laura followed and Jimmy closed the door behind them.
"It's spooky," Laura giggled.
Night had come while they were hiding. They were sheltered beneath a square corridor which surrounded an open, lawned courtyard. Bryony could just make out the stars but she daren't move for a better look. Surrounding them were windows. Some of them had lights on but most were dark. She fully expected to see gaunt, pale faces looking out of them.
Bryony began to shiver and tried to remember why she had agreed to this. If they got caught, they would be in big trouble. Not just getting a warning from the police trouble. No, if they got caught Bryony was pretty sure this was going to jail trouble. She wondered if it was too late to just go home.
"There'll be security guards," she said. Jimmy grabbed Laura's hand and led her towards the edge of the path and looked up the windows that surrounded them.
"Jimmy," Bryony hissed. "You'll be seen."
"You worry too much," Jimmy replied without even looking back.
"You don't worry enough," Bryony mumbled. She looked imploringly at Laura.
"Oh come on, Bri, where's your sense of adventure?"
Bryony sagged and followed Jimmy and Laura as they moved around the centre courtyard. Her eyes flicked from window to window, searched every shadow, studied the closed and presumably locked front doors. She couldn't see anyone, but that didn't mean they weren't there.
"I think we should leave," she whispered. Jimmy shook his head.
"We're here now. We might as well make the most of it."
"What are you expecting to do?" Bryony said, her voice a little too loud. "Go and jump on the king's bed? Let's just get out of here."
"I want to go too."
Jimmy looked between Laura and Bryony and exhaled loudly.
"You're both cowards."
Bryony stopped herself from swinging a fist at him. She pushed past him, dragging Laura behind her, and walked down the path.
"And how are you planning on getting out?" Jimmy hissed. Bryony slowed to a stop.
"And what do you suggest?"
"The abbey."
Laura shook her head.
"The abbey scares me."
"It's our only route out of here."
"I mean, why look after the house but not rebuild the abbey?" Laura asked, leaning closer to Bryony. She had a point. Bryony had never understood how the royal family could maintain such a large, immaculate house but allow the abbey to fall to ruin.
Before Jimmy or Bryony could answer, a bright light shone at the end of the path. Instinctively, the three threw themselves against the wall. The light danced and music began to play.
"What's that?" Byrony hissed.
"It's beautiful," Laura said and began to walk towards the light.
"Laura. No." Bryony grabbed hold of her friend and held her back.
"What is it?"
"They're having a party or something, that's all. We need to leave."
"It's coming from the abbey." Jimmy pointed out.
Bryony studied the dancing light at the end of the path as it turned from a rosy pink to a soft blue. Jimmy pushed past, breaking Bryony's grip on Laura, and approached the light. He walked into the corner, through the narrow corridor and disappeared from view.
"Jimmy," Bryony hissed. Laura followed him and soon Bryony stood alone, listening to her heart pounding.
She approached the light and stepped into the narrow corridor that led down to the abbey ruins.
"Laura? Jimmy?" There was no answer. A door slammed shut behind her. Bryony spun round, palms on the wooden door, her breath coming heavy.
A high pitched noise made her turn, planting her back against the door. A person hovered in front of her. A person, no bigger than her index finger, with two arms and two legs and a face with a big smile and four silvery wings, wearing straps of blue cloth across her modesty. It looked like silk. The creature's eyes were blue and too big for her head. Bryony held her breath.
The tiny figure held out a hand to her. Bryony stared at it with wide eyes. The creature gripped Bryony's top and with surprising strength pulled her down towards the abbey.
The ruined structure was bathed in light and all around tiny creatures zipped around in the air, leaving coloured light in trails behind them. Bryony gawped up at them. She flinched as one flew past her ear and her gaze was dragged down. Down, to the two dark figures lying in the dirt. Both were face down and motionless.
Byrony stared at the bodies of her friends and then up at the tiny creature who still gripped her top, smiling at her with razor sharp teeth. She wanted to scream and opened her mouth but no sound came out. She stepped back as hundreds of the tiny creatures began to swarm around her. She couldn't see, she couldn't breathe. Playful music and the humming of wings pounded in her ears and flashes of colour danced before her eyes.
