If new plans from Netflix are successful, the streaming giant may have found a way to make finding your next binge-worthy TV series much easier. Today Netflix officially released its new rating system, which replaces the longstanding star system with a simple "thumbs up/thumbs down" solution.
Users will no longer rate movies and TV shows on the service with a sliding five-star rating. Instead, they'll give the show or movie a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down," which Netflix says translates into "this one's for me" or "this one's not for me."
More importantly, those star ratings will no longer appear on shows and movies you haven't yet watched. Instead, you'll see a percentage, which indicates how much Netflix feels the program appeals to your specific tastes.
That change is the real key to the new system. Although the stars have been around for more than a decade, most users failed to understand what they actually meant.
When browsing Netflix before , you may have come across a show with a 1-star rating. That rating didn't come from critics, a la Rotten Tomatoes. Instead, it was Netflix's prediction of what rating you personally would give the show.
Your neighbor or a friend might have come across the same show and seen a 5-star rating. Again, that's because the rating reflected how much Netflix thought each person would enjoy it.
The new percentage matches make this much easier to understand. And the "thumbs down" rating essentially brings back a feature many users (myself included) had sorely been missing: the "Not Interested" rating.
For years, the Netflix star ratings had a secondary option titled "Not Interested." It was handy when shows or movies would appear on your homepage or in your recommendations that you knew without even watching that you would not like.
Now, you can click "thumbs down" on a show or movie whether you've seen it or not. Doing so will remove the selection from your homepage and recommendations, although it can always be found by searching.
It's a big change, especially if you're a Netflix power user like myself who actually did understand the star system and literally spent hours rating shows and movies in order to better personalize the experience.
Fortunately, that time wasn't completely wasted; Netflix says it will still utilize users' prior star ratings to suggest content for them.

Brand Self-Busting
It is clear that many brands have considerable value, and that value is reflected in higher prices. It is also clear that much brand value is tenuous. Witness Penn State, Kodak and Lehman Brothers.
What I don't understand are the major efforts to destroy brands by the companies themselves with watered down versions of their products sold in "outlet" stores. At the beginning, outlets were a method of selling last season's leftovers or over stocked products. Now, it is an excuse to produce a lesser quality product to be sold at lower prices in a large volume.
What the manufacturers do not get is that customers expect the quality to be comparable to the regular priced merchandise. We don't expect inferior quality goods. The lower prices present a momentary benefit to the customer, but the poorer quality wears on for a couple or few years. At some point – long after the cheaper payment is forgotten, we start to resent the cheap products and start thinking about the brand not living up to its reputation, and a customer will be lost. It doesn't happen quickly, but it does happen.
Customers are not stupid. We resent lower quality. And at some point the higher revenues and profits reverse themselves – and at a much faster rate than they grew. Mr. Quality Brand, stop busting your brand. Please.

Monday's downside move in financial stocks shows it is not short sellers that are driving down the sector. It is simply the fundamentals.
There wasn't one short sale in the financial sector, following the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ban, and look at result:
• Washington Mutual Inc. (WM) down 19 percent
• Wachovia Corporation (WB) down 19 percent
• Citigroup (C) down 2.5 percent
• Morgan Stanley (MS) down 1.5 percent
• Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) down 5.8 percent
• JPMorgan Chase (JPM) down 12.5 percent
• Wells Fargo (WFC) down 11 percent
• Bank of America (BAC) down 8 percent
• Merrill Lynch (MER) down 7 percent
• Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF) down 7.5 percent
This proves that the longs in the stocks simply don't want to own them and are giving them away at any price. Can everyone say revaluation?
Believe it or not, shorts play an important role on the bid side (to cover) and the offer side of the market, providing much needed liquidity to the market. Take away the bid (to cover) from the shorts and arguably the free-fall in shares of financial stocks could be worse.

CNN Poll: Public Approves of Obama's Handling of Lame Duck Congress Issues
CNN reports that a new poll shows that public opinion indicates that when it comes to the lame duck Congress, Barack Obama and Republicans "it looks like President Barack Obama is that winner, and his strategy of cooperating with congressional Republican leaders may be the key to his success."
Another poll (below) gives further evidence of that. CNN reports:
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey indicates that 56 percent of Americans say they approve of the way Obama's handled the issues that Congress has considered during the lame duck sesssion, with 41 percent saying they disapprove.
According to the poll, only 44 percent of the public approves of how congressional Republicans have handled the issues and that number drops to 42 percent for Republican leaders in Congress, with a majority of Americans saying they disapprove of how both congressional Democrats and Republicans are acting during the session.
The survey's Wednesday release comes just a few hours before the Senate is expected to give final approval to a nuclear weapons reduction treaty with Russia, which would be another legislative victory for the president, and just minutes after Obama signed into law a bill that repeals "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the 1993 measure that prevented gays and lesbians from serving openly in the U.S. military.
The lame duck session of Congress also approved a compromise between Obama and GOP leaders that included a two year extension of the Bush-era tax cut levels for all Americans and a one year extension of jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed. Also accomplished this month was the passage of a food safety bill and a temporary budget extension that funds the federal government for another ten weeks.
"The lame duck session adds more evidence that if Obama is trying to copy former President Bill Clinton's "triangulation" strategy, it's working," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "After the GOP took control of Congress in the 1994 midterms, Clinton successfully played the Democrats and Republicans in Congress off each other, helping Clinton look like a leader while burnishing his centrist credentials. Obama may try to replicate that approach."
This should be viewed against the backdrop of the latest Gallup Poll which shows Obama holding steady at 46 percent — but starting to pick up independent voter and even Republican support:
Liberal Democrats' approval of Obama remained subdued, averaging 80% in the past week, similar to the 79% in the previous week and below the 88% found just prior to the midterm elections. This is based on Democrats as well as independents who lean Democratic.
Obama's approval from liberal Democrats is now on par with that from moderate Democrats (78%), although still higher than conservative Democrats' approval (69%).
In contrast, Obama's approval rating among moderate/liberal Republicans (including independents who lean Republican) has increased in December, rising from 20% to 29% in just the past two weeks. This is his highest level of support from moderate/liberal Republicans since May.
The bottom line?
There IS a center in American politics. It may change. It may shift a bit left or right. But there is a center. And politicians who've captured the center often have clout and can get re-elected.
The jury is still out on Obama.
The question now is this: given how a segment of the Congressional Republicans have been on the losing end of OPINION POLLS on issues such as repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, the START Treaty and helping 911 first responders with health issues, does the stage seem set for GOPers to have a great year as they take strong control of the House and as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell happily signals to all and sundry that Obama ain't seen nothing yet in terms of obstruction? Does America's center and even some on America's left and right want take-no-prisoners partisan politics at a time of national crisis on several fronts?
Or is the stage set for Obama to perhaps wind up as being seen to be the "adult" standing in the middle of a group of politicians who these days seem to be talk show host wannabes more than legislators trying to solve problems?
The question will be: which side overreaches the most and turns off the country's shifting but existent center?
Here's another view, from Doug Mataconis, who looks at the CNN poll and writes:
Partly, this is a reflection of the old saying that nothing succeeds like success, and that pretty much everything that has passed this session — the tax cut extension, DADT repeal, and, later today, the START Treaty — has done so with widespread bipartisan public support. Also, despite Republican resistance at the start we've seen more bipartisanship over the past five weeks than at any other time during the 111th Congress. Perhaps the folks in Washington should take note of those facts in planning for the future. Of course, they won't.

Source: Students instructed to write essay on 9/11 from terrorists' perspective – The College Fix
A recent assignment in an international studies course at Iowa State University asked students to write a historical account of the 9/11 terrorist attacks from the perspective of Al-Qaeda.
"Write a paper that gives a historical account of 911 from the perspective of the terrorist network. In other words, how might Al-Qaeda or a non-Western historian describe what happened," stated the assignment, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix.
"Don't worry about the fact you don't agree with the terrorists, the point of the exercise is to consider completely different perspectives," the assignment adds.
A university spokesman told The Fix the assignment doesn't diminish the "tragic events" of 9/11 and equates the essay prompt to work undertaken by America's diplomatic and intelligence agencies.
The assignment is part of an International Studies course taught by lecturer James Strohman, who's taught multiple political science and public administration courses at Iowa State over the years.
The assignment aimed to view history from "different contexts."
"Let's focus on the 911 terrorist attack and how it might be interpreted differently by different people around the world," the instructions read. "For this exercise, you have to 'get out of the box' of our thinking about what happened on 911 and view it from a completely different perspective."
The assignment tells students this may be difficult to do, but that it's an exercise examining the differences of people, cultures and historical perspectives.
Students were encouraged to use their imagination and make their papers as interesting as they'd like in the 500-word minimum assignment, and that there's no correct answer, "just your ability to look at what we consider a heinous action from other perspectives."
Strohman, a Democrat, former member of the Story County Board of Supervisors, and current member of the Iowa Employment Appeal Board, did not respond to The College Fix's requests to discuss the pedagogical reasoning behind the assignment.
It is by design: U.S. Students on Track to Learn America Is to Blame for 9/11
"If we don't create a real choice for our high schools, the takeover of our culture by people who want to forget 9/11 or blame it on America will be complete."
It's happening in high schools too: New York students instructed to debate exterminating Jews.
Update: David Wood completed the assignment, take a look:

Camworks Woodwop and Homag10/16
I've been using Alphacam for the past 4 years running SCM and Homag machines.
I Recently made a job switch to a company that has purchased Camworks.
Camworks have provided a post which as I've seen only puts out a Frier NC macro. So nothing, not even a perimeter cut is visible inside of woodwop. The only thing I'm seeing is the stock material. Camworks on the whole seems like a pretty powerful program, with lots of great features. But I'm having trouble getting it to function to the level I'm used to with Alphacam. Example, not being able to see a perimeter cut - so an ellipse would require me to guess where a safe area to setup pods or clamps. Uniquely shaped parts are of concern to me.
Additionally this is a 5 axis machine, I haven't been able to figure a safe way to define our saw other than as a 175mm radius router bit with a 3mm width of cut and approaching from the side and using great care with leadin leadout. This is not a suitable way - The pucker factor is HUGE! (Though I haven't spent a ton of time with tech support which is what I'll be doing this week)
Furthermore I have yet to find a proper way to add clamps or pods to the code to be fed into woodwop.
Im wondering if anyone has any experience with Camworks and a 5 or even a 3/4 axis Homag and any advice. If these things are possible and I'm just not seeing it I'd gladly pay for your time and assistance
Thanks all
Presumably someone else is programming in CamWorks for you. They can easily add the fixtures in Camworks if you have standard setups. Once they have those in their model they can easily select the fixtures and define the safe working parameters so the tool paths take the fixtures into account.
It is easy to model custom tools in a 3D modeling package and add those to CamWorks. The part can only be a simple revolve function.
Are you being provided setup sheets? They can do those in Camworks and you should get those if you cannot view at the machine. They could screen capture a video of the simulation in CamWorks too for critical runs.
If you have a subscription I am sure your re-seller might be more helpful. I am fairly new to CamWorks, so I cannot help much more.
camworks is fun,,the alphacam to woodwop post is near perfect,,,
if you need cam works /post adjustment please let me know
Good Morning,
I'm having trouble setting up a post-processor for camworks to work in woodwop. Someone can help me? Any post-processors I can test?
Thank you
The machines are:

JUDGING by the contents of David Cameron's keynote speech on education, the Prime Minister will be heading to the bottom of the class unless he learns five basic lessons pretty quickly.
Lesson number one: do not promise policies which cannot be delivered. It is unfeasible for the next government to sack the heads of 3,500 under-performing schools, because there simply are not the staff to replace them.
Lesson number two: do not create false impressions on funding. The Tories said the schools budget would be ring-fenced, and spared the post-election cuts, but they were forced to admit grudgingly that the funding would not increase and a rising population means there will actually be less money for each pupil.
Lesson number three: be more certain of policy solutions. Mr Cameron is convinced that every failing school should be converted into an academy free of LEA control, but the Education Select Committee – headed by Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart – is still to be convinced about their effectiveness in raising standards.
Lesson number four: assert some authority at the Department for Education and Skills. It is becoming increasingly clear that Nicky Morgan, the current Education Secretary, is being undermined by her divisive predecessor Michael Gove.
Lesson number five: lead by example. How ironic, in the week when the Government said it wanted all children to know their 12 times table by the time they leave primary school, that the PM was reluctant to calculate 9x8 in front of the cameras.
In short, Mr Cameron's policy intervention was a missed opportunity. As the former Labour Minister Andrew Adonis observed in the Archbishop of York's new book, there is a paucity of ambition and policy-makers should be striving to ensure that 90 per cent of youngsters reach the Government's GCSE benchmarks compared to 60 per cent at present.
However this will not happen if the Tories continue to denigrate teachers – the Government do need to keep heads on side if results are to improve.
Yes, there is merit to successful heads overseeing failing schools, but I'm not convinced it will work – it risks creating too much resentment.
Instead, I'd like to see the creation of "super-heads" who would oversee a secondary school – and all the feeder primary schools.
In short, it would make it much easier for schools to monitor the progress of pupils from the age of five to 16, and to intervene if their performance slips below the Government's target.
To me, it makes far more sense than headteachers taking charge of random schools because David Cameron did not do sufficient homework before declaring "war on mediocrity".
ANOTHER wobbly week for Ed Miliband began when a student voter asked him to outline his "life experience" and explain why he "should be the one to represent the people of Britain?"
There was a bit of bluster and arm-waving before the Doncaster North MP replied unconvincingly: "I've done a number of things which I think, I hope are relevant to this. I was obviously an economic adviser in the Treasury and I think that's important... I've taught. I taught at Harvard University. I actually taught around government and economics..."
It was desperate. And then Labour have the temerity to criticise Boots boss Stefano Pessina, and former M&S supremo Sir Stuart Rose, for questioning the party's economic approach. At least these are people with proven records in creating jobs. How many members of Mr Miliband's team can claim to have done likewise? Not many.
The hypocrisy does not end here. On the day Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls could not name a single business backer for Labour on Newsnight, the party's Selby and Ainsty candidate Dr Mark Hayes was sending out a leaflet in which he promised to "support local small businesses".
One problem – it was printed 232 miles away in Cardiff.
AWARDED an OBE in 2009 "for services to local government", I can only hope that Roger Stone – the disgraced leader of Rotherham Council at the height of the sex grooming scandal – has the decency to return the honour. It is the least that he can do after government advisor Louise Casey's report exposed the authority's failure to listen to the 1,400 young people being used and abused by sex gangs of Pakistani origin. If not, he should be stripped of the honour – without delay.
Anything less would be an insult to each and every victim, while perpetuating the view that the honours system merely exists to reward an elite with a cavalier disregard for those they purport to serve.
DESPITE this week's unflattering biography, the Prince of Wales is still king of championing causes close to his heart. At least Charles held a summit this week to look at ways of supporting dairy farmers. It's more than Ministers and MPs have done – they finally got round to a backbench debate on Wednesday when junior minister George Eustice, rather than Food and Rural Affairs secretary Liz Truss, tried to defend the Government's inaction. That's how little farming appears to matter to the Tories, the supposed party of the countryside.
THERE was a slight sense of dread when I returned to Richmond Towers to discover a brown envelope on the doormat with the ominous words "Recorded correspondence" and "For private use only" in the top left hand corner.
I had no need to worry for long – the contents were simply the pushiest plea that I have ever received from a charity, namely the World Cancer Research Fund UK, begging for money and pointing out how many of my neighbours are already supporting this organisation.
Are they? When I checked, it appeared to be news to them. I digress, but what I did not like was the almost threatening tone of the missive written in the name of founder Marilyn Gentry.
There followed a PS which advised: "Please use the enclosed envelope to make your gift now."
I will not be doing so. I have little time for these aggressive marketing campaigns as cancer charities fight for money and sympathy in a week when it emerged that one in two people are likely to be struck down by the disease.
Instead, I will save my money for those charity collectors who brave all weathers to shake tins outside the supermarket – and the Macmillan nurses who offer so much support to so many.
And they won't even have to ask – or go to the expense of a costly mailshot/begging letter.

In modern architecture, there are many methods of prefabrication. Since it is still an evolving field of study, many firms experiment with different approaches and strategies. Some assembly techniques work well for certain building types and in specific environments while others may differ in their benefits. Most of these experiments in off-site fabrication occur in the housing market due to their little value. Houses are cheaper to build, so if the new technique fails, it has little impact whereas it would be unethical to experiment on a large public building. There have been many designers in the past decade that have chosen to specialize in prefabrication and see its potential.
The ultimate form of prefabrication would be to complete the building in its entirety before arrival to the site. Issues arise very quickly when trying to accomplish this task though. Limitations in size appear to be the biggest issue with this approach. The building can only be as big as the means of transportation that it takes to arrive on site. For most cases, this means the size is determined by what fits on a truck. Usually the width of the unit must be sixteen feet or under to fit within most transportation laws. With the size limitation being such a strict constraint, these drop in place buildings are usually small retreat shelters or tiny homes. Studio Aisslinger created one of these drop in place shelters in 2003 labeled as the LoftCube. The firm began to sell these small cubic shelters to be used in all sorts of locations. Structurally they were steel frame boxes skinned with fiberglass to create a futuristic look, while being easy to fabricate. These boxes could be designed to serve multiple functions – retreat houses, viewing cabins, etc.
If dropped in place prefab had limitations with size what then would be the remedy? Modular construction provides a pretty successful solution. By splitting the building up into different modules that each fit within the transportation constraints, larger buildings can be constructed. Many houses are currently being sold as modular units which usually are comprised a couple four to five modules. These units are craned in place with everything complete except for the exterior façade. This can drastically reduce the on-site construction time on a project which can be very desirable for housing developments. There are multiple firms that specialize in modular construction such as Hive Modular, Square Root Architecture, and RES: 4 Architecture. RES: 4 Architecture breaks down the programmatic spaces of a house into their basic shapes and then uses those building blocks to create custom houses using a modular approach. This self-titled, "Modern Modular" process works well for the firm which has dozens of completed homes across the United States. Their first project, the Dwell Home, was created using five modules to create an L shaped house. The project not only was prefabricated, but it provided a well-designed, site specific home to the client.

It's a beautiful creamy mauve pink with a hint of grey. The colour looks different depending on the light, being more purplish in daylight and more greyish in dimmed light. Nice non-streaky application, fairly fast drying speed. Glossy and stays on pretty long.

This is an interesting shade. Looks like a nude brownish pink in the bottle. On the nails it looks like a light brown taupe. This is a different type of color then I would normally wear. When I first put it on I wasn't too sure but it really grew on me. It made me look like a sophisticated lady. I did notice it chipped quickly though. And it took three coats to look solid

This is nice -- one of Opi's better consistencies, and an understated shade that works...well enough, for me.
But, overall, kind of underwhelming. It seemed to take ages to completely cure -- 24h later it was still easy to dent (I had yet to apply a top coat. For some reason, it took three coats, and not the two most have mentioned here, for opacity. I'm fair -- always the lightest or second lightest foundation shade -- and it doesn't look so much neutral/nude on me as it does a dark taupe. Other cool-toned pale sorts might feel like this is the polish equivalent of ye olde "suntan" pantyhose -- too dark and just not quite right...
L'Oréal's "Doutzen's Nude" has a better formula, and is very, very similar -- switched next to each other on white plastic it was hard to see a difference (except the L'Oréal went down in one smooth streak and the OPI pooled off to one side -- I only use two coats of the L'Oréal, which is silly-easy to apply). On the nails, "Doutzen's Nude" is slightly lighter, and more mauve, less brown, than "Tickle My France-y."
I tend to either wear stuff like rainbow-hued multicoloured nails OR "ladylike" conservative shades with little in between, so had high hopes for this as a new favourite for the "conservative" box o' polish. No dice; will keep buying the L'Oréal.
On the plus side: apart from it being prone to dents and taking too long to fully dry, the stuff lasts. After four days, there's only a *tiny* chip on an index finger, so small that I really had to hunt for it. (Two coats Essie "Millionails" underneath, gel-type topcoat, unfortunately unbranded, widely sold in Canadian Dollaramas in a black bottle with three other mini bottles of polish -- give the polishes to a little girl if you don't like the colours or whatever, and just buy the set for the amazing top coat!)

I can honestly say this is the most beautiful nail color I have ever worn. It's a soft mauve nude that is perfect for any occasion, it's work appropriate but also soft and romantic enough to wear on a date night or special occasion. It's totally opaque with one coat, so It covers all discoloration or flaws, and its also a thin formula that flows easily, so it isn't streaky or patchy.
This lasted 12 days before the tips started chippng slightly, but it's been a full 14 days now and most of the color is intact and my nails still look nice.
Top this with Essie top coat, which does super quick and super hard, and you're good to go with a super flattering and long lasting color!

OMG! This used to be my favorite nude, a pretty putty color. I just ordered it online to refill my stash & thought it was just the lighting in photos but, Tickle My France-y is mauve-dusty pink now?? What happened?! I first bought this in 2008 when it came out and it was a real neutral/nude because it was 90% nutty mocha with only a tinge of dusty pink [see: Hilyal's picture]. This new formulation is the reverse. I weep. New color is a 2, oldie is a 5!

What a beautiful perfect nude this is! Very pigmented and easy to apply, I use opi start to finish base/top coat and it looks like a professional did it! This color is versatile and would be suited for all occasions and seasons, gorgeous pinky mauve with slightly brown to it.. It's one of my favorites! Highly recommended a must for any collection!

I own around twenty nude polishes and this is my favourite (halfway done the bottle.) What prompted me to write this review is that for the past two months, this is the only colour I wore on my fingers. It's the perfect nude for my NC30 skintone. Always polished, elegant and with just enough pink to not look corpse-like (very important!) One layer is opaque for a subtle effect but two layers is what I normally do, more pink shines through. I don't wear a base coat or top coat and can get almost two weeks of wear without chipping. The only reason I take it off is because my nail beds are visible and then I can happily paint the same colour again. Will definitely repurchase, HG status.

I don't know why I'm late to the game on this one, probably because I rarely buy any of the pricier polishes. I figure just for a little more I might as well go get a gel manicure and be done for a few weeks. No more. Nail salon days are over.
Was feeling sorry for myself one day because I had spent too much on a sweater and told myself "no manicure this weekend" (first world problems, I know) so at Walmart I was kind of browsing for a dupe for my beloved favorite Sinful Colors "Bare" (a limited Valentine's edition from a couple years ago that I've never seen since). I swatched a few Sally Hansen and Essie and hated the consistency as usual, plus the nude colors were all too brown or too pink. Then voila, there was Tickle My France-y. Swatched it, and it dried VERY quickly (the others smeared all through the rest of my grocery shopping), went on so smoothly with great even coverage, and the color is to die for. Love at first sight.
I may love the actual color just a teensy bit less than Sinful Colors' "Bare" but I doubt I'll ever get my hands on another bottle of THAT. France-y's just an incredibly elegant shade for most skin tones though; I feel like a very subtle millionairess when wearing it. Love that I don't have to change it for different clothing. I'm glad to see it's been around for a while and probably won't get dropped from OPI's production line (fingers crossed) anytime soon.
The application and wear are really quite exceptional, plus as other people mentioned it's pretty wear-and-tear friendly since a chip isn't too terribly noticeable. I'll wear this as long as they make it! I only do two coats, then let it get pretty much dry before applying Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat, which adds a gorgeous gel-like shine and it lasts quite well.

My search for the perfect nude creme continues! I thought for sure this one would be a slam dunk with so many great reviews from people with warm skintones. Sadly, Tickle My France-y does not flatter mine. It looks like pinky-brown putty and kind of makes me look like I have dirty fingernails. Maybe because my skin is only a little lighter than the polish? I'm not sure why this isn't working for me because normally I really like warm grays. Maybe it's the pink tones.
I can't speak to the lasting factor, but I will say that this polish has many good qualities as far as self-leveling and pigmentation goes. Streaking was minimal and it was opaque in two thin coats.

My Experience and Experiments in Chennai
I always grew up considering people who live by the sea-shores lucky. I kind of could never digest that the waves I dream to visit in my vacations having to travel so far from my home and return with moist eyes with the pain of separation, there are people who actually live by those haunting sands. I envied them and it was a desire deep soaked in my heart to live by the sea at least once to grab a bit of that luck they all shared.
My four months project in Chennai fulfilled that grave craving in me or should I say my choice of project that led to Chennai could have been subconsciously tricked by the inner mermaid in me that drives me impatiently and illogically hydrophilic from time to time.
The very first day I landed in Chennai I visited the Marina beach just a little away from the place I lived. Women in gajras, men in munds sat here and there occupying the entire stretch of sand, it was active and chirpy. Colorful balloons, kites, and clothes added to the pallet of that brown sand that led to the water. The waves growled ferociously and would angrily hold your legs and pull once you step in. I dared not go deep.
As more days passed by I grew fascinated by the flowers that would be sold in every corner of the street. Every woman had her long hair decorated with flowers, the buses I traveled in would be scented by the jasmines that the women dangled from their hair. They are pious, courteous and peaceful.
The nose rings occupying the sides of both nostrils in many women disturbed me curiously. My not accustomed eyes again and again hovered around that nose that increased so much weight sideways to the face and my eyes would be oscillating there while I spoke. Well…not spoke made actions.
I enacted everything I uttered and the live mime show kept me amused in this new land. As a speaker I acted, as a listener I smiled. I smiled to hide my surprise that in an entire long sentence just spoken to me not even one word could I grab, picking the thread of which I could at least make a related intelligent response.
I feel at every interval in life one should definitely visit a place that is so different culturally and most importantly linguistically. It so much makes the mind alert and so much surprises with all that things we take for granted every day and move on. It refreshes with new outlook adding a new dimension to the acceptance of difference and admiring the varieties that developed.
And while I was completely depended on gestures, if the gestures too misled it was a disaster. The auto driver being mentioned a place would swing his head sideways and when you just crossed him by he would hail you back! That "No" perhaps meant a "Yes".
However the language problem had one big advantage I figured. While you walk by the street and you are passed a comment by a passer by, it would leave you completely neutral. In fact that would make you think, "Huh, what a fool this guy was, said something in Tamil and probably wanted to tease but poor fellow, I didn't even understand."
In my personal quest about the language, I finally figured out the "extra-H mystery" to the names. Why a mysterious 'h' was always added in my name without fail making it Aparajitha, a Bindu-BindHu, Kavita-KavitHa, Gayatri-GayatHri and Pratima-PratHima. I still am curious to find out the mystery of double 'P's and double 'K's in the names of places that almost acted like a tongue twister and made your tongue trip inside the cavity of the mouth.
Another amusing discovery was a "Chumma-Party" that made me stretch my imagination far and then land with a painful thud knowing it is party just like that, without a definite cause. Chumma meaning "just like that" which surely is a misleading term.
Well, and I am now dying to play the role of a peace-maker to fulfill a communication gap that might have kept the people of North and South so far from each other for so long. Before I visited Chennai the feedback I got from every North-Indian was, "They generally hate us and would not even utter a word in Hindi even if they knew it all." And the amusing part is that the same sentence was repeated by them there, "The North Indians hate us and would deliberately speak with us in Hindi even though they knew English and knew Hindi was not spoken here." Wow, and taking the side of both parties I could clearly see where the problem exactly was. The yearlong hostility between this North-South was just a simple misunderstanding that needed a two minutes of open thought.
It so tempted me to play the role of the mistress of the play-group bringing the hands of both children together, compelling them to say sorry to each other and initiate the first game in between and leave them to patch there.
For the people in North, well, most of them do understand a bit of Hindi due to the TV channels and movies that are released there but they would not speak because they are not accustomed to it and never did try and moreover, did not need to try either. It is definitely not because they want to punish by speaking an alien language and torture the visitors.
And to the people of South, well, they don't speak Hindi to torture you either. It is just that they find it so obvious that in entire India Hindi is a language that is common and would be surprised that it does not apply the same way for South.
So, hoping for the North-South alliance here. Jai Hind!
About the places around Chennai, I was deeply fascinated by Auroville and was thrilled to learn about the concept of a place that holds no nationality and belongs to anyone whose inner built is for good deeds and service. As I strolled in those muddy lanes that slithered between the woods I filled my lungs with air so fresh... and by night I lay for hours looking upwards admiring the vast sky that did not slightly get hindered by a sky-touching pile of bricks that threatened the stars so high.
And how could I not mention my visit to matri-mandir there. As I approached that golden dome, the free moving air and the fresh green vast space did seep into my soul smoothening every ripple of thought preparing me for a silent journey inward. As I sat by the rippling pool that ran in concentric circles towards a clear crystal, I was overtaken, overwhelmed and absorbed. The definition of calm and serenity seemed to have revealed itself in its maximum depth there. Every second there was a step ahead to purification.
Air passed through the dome freely making a sweeping sound that almost would wipe your soul, the ripples replicated the disturbance of thoughts and it gurgled so smoothly as it traveled down to the centre. The concentric circles that held the ripples represented the zones of consciousness that so clearly are touched in meditations. And then as you cross every zone and leave past your ripples far, there you reach the pure crystal so untouched, so aloof and so deep from the upheavals around and everywhere…
The entire journey of meditation was so thoughtfully replicated and imitated there and those moments I spent that evening were as golden as that dome that shone with the last rays of the setting sun.
Well, and all I knew was I have discovered a spot in this world that will keep haunting me again and again to get back there and would beckon me often when life in its brisk ripples and waves captures my mind and engulfs.
Three and half hours to Auroville and matri-mandir, three and half days to Andaman in ship from Chennai…I would be tempted again and again to near you throughout my life. To ride across these three and halves, I will again visit thee. The biryani houses that occupied every nook and corner and relieved me of tamarind in every dish, the cake cutting ceremony in Brahmin marriages that almost made me sing happy birthday unconsciously, even a grown up bearded man being referred to as "Maa" that made me check him well up and down slyly, the paratha in a traditional Tamil restaurant that was served in crumbles in a bowl to my deadly shock, the dumb-sharad I mastered every day and sometimes left helplessly to the Universal language of God. The 'ai-aiyoo's and 'aa-cho-cho's being tossed in the air, and of course the maddening fragrance of jasmine in a woman's hair, With and over every difference and similarity O Chennai, I will miss thee.

Hi Aparajita,
This is a very well-written article. It reminded me of my days in Chennai and in a piece of fiction that I am writing, even I have mentioned about the language problem and the smell of jasmine flowers wafting throughout the city.
The mention of auto-drivers shaking their head to say yes or no has always been a mystery, you can also mention your haggling experience with the auto- karas. I like the picture of the beach where the lady is standing and you have to shoot the small baloons.
This humourous article also made me nostalgic about the place where I lived for three years and it was only after those three years I was able to like the city.
I hope to go back to the city soon.

I bought dinar like most of you, thinking that the RV was going to happen very soon and I didn't want to be left out. Being rushed to purchase I didn't really have the time to do adequate research. Since the RV didn't happen when I was told that it would, I started doing my due diligence to find out what was really happening with this investment. I was assured by people who bought dinar that it wasn't a scam, but the more I dug into it the more it started to resemble a scam. True, you can always get most of your money back, so in that respect it's not really a scam. But the so-called gurus are not giving people the whole picture, and in most cases they're misrepresenting the parts of the picture that they do offer.
For example, gurus like to tell people about the numerous times that Shabibi has talked about increasing the value of the dinar, but they don't explain to people that a redenomination does exactly that. It increases the value as it decreases the supply, which Shabibi has also said that they will do. There is no net gain, but in the IQD's case the value would jump from $.00086 to $.86 as the money supply decreases from 25 trillion to roughly 25 billion, in effect removing three zeros from their currency. That's clearly what Shabibi is referring to, but how many gurus tell you that? Is that what Iraq is going to do? Who knows? But that's definitely what they're describing. They even made reference to similar redenominations (lops) in Turkey, Brazil, and Romania that they were studying to decide how to proceed.
Another example would be the references to revaluing the currency to combat inflation. Gurus love to say that inflation is our friend, but what they don't tell you is that there have already been adjustments to the IQD to combat inflation, and nobody became a millionaire off of those "RV"s. But for some reason we're led to believe that the next adjustment will make us all rich. Rubbish! If inflation gets too high in Iraq I would expect them to tweak the rate to no more than $.0011 which would be an increase of about 30%. You'd have to already be a millionaire to buy enough dinar to make a million off of that RV.
As you can see from these charts, the dinar's value stabilized as inflation was brought under control in 2006. The adjustments to the exchange rate from 2006-2009 were small percentages designed to help manage the inflation rate. Nothing in these charts suggests that anybody is going to get rich from any future inflation-induced rate changes.
The second thing that people need to understand is how currencies are valued. There are many factors involved, such as:
- Money supply - Hyperinflation brought on by two decades of war and sanctions caused Iraq's money supply to skyrocket from less than 30 billion to upwards of 30 trillion dinar. With that much in circulation there's no way that Iraq can have a valuable currency without a redenomination or lop.
- Stability - Iraq's government is a fledgling democracy, and has to deal with tribal conflicts, corruption, and a general lack of comprehension of how democracies function. Such a government doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in it's ability to survive, let alone thrive.
- GDP - Iraq's GDP is ranked 62nd in the world, behind such economic powerhouses as Angola, Bangladesh, Slovakia, and Nigeria. Yes, it's improving, but they have a long way to go before they're ranked among the highest in the world.
- Diversity of the economy - Over two-thirds of Iraq's GDP comes from oil. For their currency to grow in value they need to develop other products and services so that their economy won't be dependent on one product. The price of oil fluctuates wildly at times, so a diverse economy would help them to weather those periods of volatility. It would also help them to reduce unemployment.
- Infrastructure - Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world, but their infrastructure is currently insufficient to produce more than three million barrels of oil a day. It will take them years of progress to reach their reported goal of 10 million barrels a day. They also have a long way to go in developing their roads, communications, and banking system to the point of their more advanced neighbors.
- Security - Iraq still has a big problem in this area, and businesses are nervous about investing in a country where their employees and facilities might be the target of terrorists or insurgents.
- Peace - Iraq is currently no longer at war, but it faces threats from Iran and civil war constantly.
- Inflation - Iraq has made a great deal of progress in this area, but there's still reason for concern as Shabibi has stated on numerous occasions.
- Debt - This is one of the strongest factors in Iraq's favor. Very little debt.
- Natural resources - By far the biggest thing in Iraq's favor. They have an abundance of natural resources that inspires hope in their future.
This is why I can state so confidently that the gurus are wrong every week. I understand the basics. There's no real mystery here. No secret plan. No New World Order conspiracy to uncover. No cryptic messages to decode. Just get the basics down and you'll know right away how to separate the gold nuggets from the cow turds.
I've recently listened to several conference calls presenting the latest intel from various gurus who are always wrong. The consensus among these types has been that the RV was going to happen by the end of the year or right after the first of 2012. Well of course we're into the third week of January and still no RV. Let me make a prediction right now. I will stake my reputation on the fact that the value of the IQD will remain relatively unchanged as of April 1, 2012. It might go up a few % but nothing more. Like I said, 30% at the most. When all of these gurus are wrong I invite you to come back and review what I've presented in this blog. They depend on intel. I go by the history of currency revaluations and redenominations. They go by contacts. I go by common sense. They follow conspiracy theories. I follow basic economics. I'm not bragging here. I'm just making an observation. People who go by guru intel are always disappointed. People who understand the basics will recognize just how unlikely the overnight millionaire scenario is and they will exercise patience and a cautious outlook as this speculative investment comes to its ultimate conclusion.

Can you believe we have just three (or so) weeks to go?!? These days are full of physical comfort and good, restful sleep. (Anyone who knows the last month of pregnancy knows a bit about the true condition of our minds and bodies!)
For example, here is what Lori's feet look like to her. The thought of going that distance to touch her own feet is so intimidating, it's no wonder things that fall on the floor generally get to stay on the floor. It's like circumnavigating the globe just to pick up a shoe.
Inside this big blue blob is baby E - as well as mom's smushed organs. Her meals are small and numerous these days, and typically followed by a dessert of berry-flavored tums. In the last couple of days we've discovered the outie (you see it barely visible 'neath the blueness in this pic) and have made new sleeping arrangements for mom as the couch happens to be the most comfortable sleeping location in our home for her. Oh, we both dream of long stretches of sleep, which these days are anything over 3.25 hours. Fat chance for the next 18 years, eh?
Baby is healthy and growing on schedule. Weekly doc appointments start this week, so we'll learn fun new words like "dilation" and "effaced". And too, the grandparents will be arriving soon, which we are looking forward to.
Please be praying for all the pregnant women out there in this world who don't have it as "easy" as we do. We can't imagine going through this without creature comforts, never mind without enough food to keep from being hungry or clean water or shelter or a doctor to ease our minds. We are blessed by so much, our friends, our family, our means, and in these days, most especially our health.
We send our love to you,

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen hasn't yet publicly confirmed that she is pregnant with her husband Tom Brady's second child, but there's no denying the bump in the picture taken at the Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday.
Rumors began in May at the Costume Institute Gala, when her Givenchy dress had to reportedly be tailored to accommodate a growing torso.
Bundchen and Brady have a son named Benjamin who is 2½ years old. In an interview done by British Vogue for their December 2010 issue she confirmed that she would like more children.
"I want more kids for sure, but I don't know when"
Well, now is as good a time as any!


text: Hi guys just a quickie to help restore a little faith in human nature. Last Monday 18th I posted on another site the fact that 3 generations of medals were stolen from me in 1994 and gave brief details. Later that day I had a private message requesting further details about my GSM N. Ireland and any police report etc that I had. I duly supplied the information and low and behold the contact had bought my GSM five years previously from a member of an online auction site. The seller was not many miles from the original place of theft and the buyer was at the time not aware the medal was stolen. The medal has been returned to me less than a week after the original contact. I think that is pretty special on all counts. Naturally the person who has returned it ex ex services and had also served in N.I. Hussarrrrrrrrr

Sam Witwer has explained the difference between First Order and Imperial Stormtroopers. Witwer has had the opportunity to work on various Star Wars projects over the years, having voiced characters like Darth Maul and Emperor Palpatine on the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels TV series. He also lent his voice to the fan-favorite Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video game character, Starkiller.
Star Wars as a franchise has contributed much to pop culture over the decades, from iconic villain Darth Vader to the nifty-looking lightsabers. Among those things that the series has popularized over the years (things that even non-fans would recognize) are, of course, the Stormtroopers. Clad in white armor and helmets, the Stormtroopers have been known as the indispensable Imperial henchmen who have almost-comically bad aim, most of the time. Things changed when we were introduced to Finn (John Boyega) in 2015's Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, resulting in the first Stormtrooper who would become a main player in the overarching narrative of the franchise.
Related: Starkiller Was Almost Included in Star Wars Rebels
During an interview with Comicbook where he was asked if he ever did any work for Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (which opens in theaters in December), Witwer had the following to say about what sets the Galactic Empire and First Order's stormtroopers apart (generally-speaking):
"I cannot confirm nor deny whether I've done any voice work for The Last Jedi. Having said that, I will say this: First Order Stormtroopers are different than Episode IV, V, and VI Troopers. They are very different. They're younger, they're a little bit more emotionally available ... they actually scream at each other and stuff like that, whereas [Original Trilogy] Stormtroopers never get really beyond a five or a six in terms of excitement."
"They could be in the middle of a giant firefight, and they're like, 'Hold it right there, freeze,' you know, in the middle of like a BIG firefight. The Rebels could be all screaming, the Stormtrooper's like, 'Blast 'em!' They just don't get that excited, except when they get killed, then they freak out, they go, 'AHHHHHH!!' They lose it when they get killed, have amazing death screams. But Episode VII Troopers yell at each other more. They're a little bit more younger, more excitable type folks."
Humanizing people from the Empire seems to be a popular narrative thread in the Star Wars franchise right now. On top of delving into the story of a Stormtrooper with Finn, Rebels has also done a good job in portraying those who are members of the Empire, with former Imperial Agent Kallus' storyline. In other media formats, Gwendolyne Christies's movie character, Captain Phasma now headlines her own novel, while the campaign mode of Star Wars Battlefront II (which is canon) features a tie fleet commander protagonist in Iden Versio. This is a great way to add layers to characters on both sides from "a galaxy far far away", to make future offerings more dynamic and multi-dimensional.
The Star Wars episodic films will continue later this year with Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi. The film is not only set to progress Finn's story as a former Stormtrooper turned devoted Freedom fighter but also answer some of the questions left unaddressed by its predecessor. This includes the real reason for Luke's (Mark Hamill) self-exile and change of heart regarding the Jedi Order, as well as, the Knights of Ren's true identity.

Manufacturing is the engine that made America prosperous.
Modern manufacturing will play a pivotal role in our long-term economic vitality.

DuPont: Nurturing Careers in Science
- 12-19-2013
- Categorized in: Careers & Workforce, Environment & Sustainability, Innovation
Each year, Science magazine presents a list of the best employers in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Employers are ranked on 23 variables, including financial performance, work culture, and academic and intellectual challenge. More than 3,500 scientists around the world are surveyed by the journal, which is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Among the companies so recognized, DuPont made the list in 2013 for the sixth year in succession. Across six continents, DuPont employs more than 10,000 scientists in the areas of biology, chemistry, materials science, and engineering. Science-driven innovation lies at the heart of the company's long-term business strategy.
Through the years, their researchers and managers have introduced such ground-breaking technologies as Teflon® coatings, Kevlar® fibers, Tyvek® house wrap, Nomex® thermal protection, Corian® kitchen surfaces, Plenish® soybean oil, and Sorona® renewably sourced fiber, among dozens of others.
Under the leadership of new Chair and CEO Ellen Cullman, DuPont is continuing its transition from traditional chemicals to a greater emphasis on food science, environmental protection, and renewable energy solutions. Science lies at the heart of the company's focus. She and the company are encouraging high school and college students in the U.S. to study science, math, and engineering to ensure that companies like hers will be able to continue to conduct R&D activity in the U.S. long into the future.
DuPont believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders, it will help find solutions to global challenges related to providing the world with enough food, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment. That focus means the emphasis on science and innovation at DuPont will be stronger than ever for many years to come.

Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight a Battle, in short, no important Affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer, who examined the Aspects and Configurations of the heavenly Bodies, and mark'd the lucky Hour."

Q. I am planning to get married. For some reason, I was never able to get a credit card. I have been told that it will be easier for me to get a card once I am married. Is this true?
I also want my own credit card in my own name. Can I do that, or must I just accept a card on my husband's account?
Costa Mesa
A. California law prohibits credit card companies from discriminating against a person because of her sex or marital status. Credit card companies cannot offer different terms or deny credit simply because the person applying is a woman or is unmarried.
A married woman may apply for a separate account in her maiden name.
If a credit card company violates the law, it can be sued for actual damages as well as a maximum of $10,000 in punitive damages.

Yesterday also marked the closing day of the Scrapbook Nerd Monthly Challenge. This month the challenge was to create a layout about yourself.
That's not always the easiest thing for me to do - for several reasons - I don't have a lot of exciting things to share about myself, and I don't have many photos of myself since I'm usually behind the camera. However, I recently cleaned out a storage space in the basement where I found a box of older photos that I had stored away. In that box was this photo of myself at 17 with my youngest brother, Rick, who has Downs Syndrome. I knew I had to create this layout!!
The Summer That Changed Everything
The journaling reads:
I was at the end of my grade 12 year in school and had very little direction. I had applied to a summer job, which I didn't get, and so I was going into the summer with nothing to do, and no clue what I wanted to do after I finished grade 13. There was no one for me to hang around with as all my siblings and friends were away for the summer working. So ... it was just Ricky and I.
I had seen a movie that year about a family who had a boy who was just diagnosed with autism. They had decided to spend every moment with him, trying to bring him out of his inner world - and they were successful. It had a big impact on me and I decided to devote my summer to doing the same with Ricky. We spent every waking moment together, doing whatever we felt like doing. It was a summer I will always remember. We hung out in the backyard, we went for walks, ate ice cream. By the end of the summer, he no longer needed the arm splints, I had figured out my calling to work with Special Needs people, and Rick and I developed a very close relationship that continues 35 years later!
I love this photo, and love what it represents. I'm so glad I found it!

Initiating them into a learning beyond curriculum
Under the programme launched on Tuesday, each of the 26 Corporation schools will be provided 25 copies of The Hindu every day.Inaugurating the programme by handing over copies of The Hindu to students at the Corporation Higher Secondary School at Sidhapudur, Mayor R. Venkatachalam said the Corporation had allocated Rs.1 lakh for the scheme that was aimed at benefiting the students.
The Education Committee and the Corporation Council cleared the proposal quickly and this reflected the intention of the civic body to raise the standards of the students studying in its schools.
The Mayor said that by improving knowledge through extensive reading, students could not only go on to become civil services officers or top level executives, they could also occupy the very demanding post of a Mayor. "City administration is not an easy task. It requires people with a lot of acumen. You can occupy this post and do well if you use the opportunity given to you now," he told a gathering of students. Deputy Mayor N. Karthik pointed out that newspapers were a source of knowledge. One could get a lot of information on diverse fields of activity.
The students of Government or Corporation schools were not inferior to those in the private schools. Appreciating The Hindu's contribution to the field of education in the form of programmes such as NIE, he said this provided immense opportunities to students to learn more than what was taught in classrooms.
Regional General Manager of The Hindu D. Rajkumar said NIE was part of the newspaper's corporate-social responsibility. The newspaper was being provided at a substantial concession so that it could be an affordable resource for learning for them. The NIE provided knowledge beyond academics, but without affecting the school curriculum, Mr. Rajkumar said.
Corporation Commissioner Anshul Mishra, Leader of the Opposition V.N. Udayakumar, Education Committee Chairman R. Kalyanasundaram, members P. Shobana, V.K.S.K. Senthilkumar, Thamizhselvi and Meena Loganathan and Corporation Education Officer (in-charge) T. Raju were present.
Mr. Kalyanasundaram and the committee members said later that the committee scrutinised the NIE proposal and found it to be of immense benefit to the students. The committee was focussed on improving the standards of education in the Corporation schools and wanted all the students to scale great heights in their career.
Ms. Shobana was already taking spoken English classes for Corporation school students. Mr. Senthilkumar, Ms. Thamizhselvi and Ms. Loganathan said the NIE programme was one of the many initiatives the Corporation and the Education Committee were taking up to build academic and co-curricular skills in students.

Rev. Harry E. Goll, 97
Reverend Harry Eugene Goll died on Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, at Bridgton Health Care at the age of 97.
Born in Beaver, Pa., on May 14, 1915, Rev. Goll was the son of Harry Ellsworth Goll and Malissa Blanche Goll, and the younger brother of John Edward Goll. His father served in the Pennsylvania State Legislature and was a respected horseman, judge and starter of harness races. His mother was a homemaker and good sport who memorably allowed Rev. Goll to bring his fraternity's monkey home with him for the summer.
An enthusiastic athlete and scholar, Rev. Goll played football and baseball in high school and was president of his class each year. In 1937 he received a B.A. from Washington and Jefferson College. He had the distinction of being the College's undefeated boxing champion in his weight class. He received postgraduate degrees from the Episcopal Theological Seminary and Harvard Divinity School.
Rev. Goll was ordained as an Episcopal minister in 1942, and his first parish affiliation was at Trinity Church in Bridgewater, where he was also a chaplain at the Bridgewater State Prison. He then served as Assistant to the Dean at St. Paul's Cathedral in Boston, and in addition was a chaplain at the Charlestown Jail and Deer Island Prison. He later became rector of St. Luke's Church in Hudson, Mass., and St. George's Church in Maynard, Mass. In 1950, he became the rector of St. Mark's Church in Southborough, Mass., where he served for 35 years. He taught at St. Mark's School (1950–1955) and was chaplain to Fay School (1950–1974).
Rev. Goll was a strong advocate for racial equality, and in 1965 he and his daughter Becky joined Rev. Martin Luther King's march from Selma, to Montgomery, Ala. Closer to home, he worked toward the abolishment of the death penalty in Massachusetts. Rev. Goll was proud to have been one of the first clergy in the Massachusetts Diocese to sponsor a woman for ordination.
Expert in biblical history and interpretation and gifted with wit, Rev. Goll's sermons were both instructive and entertaining. His enthusiasm for his work led him to use symbols to make religious holidays and traditions more meaningful to the children and adults of his congregation. He would tether a donkey on the church lawn on Palm Sunday, have children release homing pigeons outdoors after the Easter service, and he held a lamb in the sanctuary on Good Shepherd Sunday.
In 1967, Rev. Goll married Emily S. Storkerson, who predeceased him in 2009. He had been previously married to Ellen H. Goll (deceased) of Rockport, Mass., with whom he had three children, Marcia Storkerson and Rebecca Thompson (David Johnson), both of Sweden, Maine, and Barbara Goll of Rockport, Mass.
Beyond his career, Rev. Goll was an accomplished and creative woodworker, needlepoint designer, gardener, and seasoned world traveler. He was a snappy dresser, recognized for his impressive bow tie collection. He will be missed and remembered for his love of life, warmth and mischievous sense of humor.
In addition to his three daughters, Rev. Goll is survived by two grandsons, Dr. Douglas (Elisabeth) Thompson of Columbia, S.C., and Andrew (Heather) Thompson, of Brooklyn, N.Y.; three great-grandchildren, Owen and Alice of Columbia, S.C., Ronette of Brooklyn, N.Y.; three stepchildren, John Storkerson of New Hartford, Conn., and London, England, Dr. Peter Storkerson of Champaign, Ill., Kristine Winnicki of Chester, Vt., and five step-grandchildren.
The family wishes to thank Bridgton Health Care, Beacon Hospice, and the Casco Inn for the wonderful care and attention their father received in the last years of his life.
A memorial service will be held at Saint Mark's Episcopal Church in Southborough, Mass. at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made in his name to St. Mark's Church, 27 Main St., Southborough, MA 01772, or to The Alzheimer's Association, 480 Pleasant Street, Watertown, MA 02472.
