English is not my first language, so I hardly can express the anger I feel inside. But I think those surveillance programs, which Edward Snowden revealed over the last weeks, are a huge mess! That is too much! It's only small steps to a police state. Well, actually a this is about global surveillance.

2012-12-31 happy old year 2012
Who knows what 2013 will bring? But at the turn of the year I look back and realize that a unexpected miracle has happened. Sure, I'd like my songs to be popular, but this figure I didn't expect at all!
25.000 listeners on silence and still growing! Thank you, thank you so much!
I really can't imagine why silence is so popular. Maybe because the song is used as soundtrack for a small number of videos on youtube? Funny on which vids it's used: rats, makeup, cats, promotion clip for safer sex and a few others .. Anyway: Hard to imagine. Maybe because some podcasts added it to their playlist? I really don't know. Someone suggested it's because the song is not "religious". But faith is all about relationship, so from my point of view it's religious, too.
Maybe I should not even know it. But for sure I'd like to know. I'd like to know your opinion. So if you have an idea, just drop me a note.
The "Happy New Year" is just around the corner. Certainly I'd like to see my other tracks to be as popular as silence. But - as said before - who knows what 2013 will bring.. May God bring happiness, peace, love and heavenly miracles to your life!

At a U2 concert in Ireland, Bono (the lead singer) asks
the audience for some quiet. Then he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone…. "I want you to think about something…..
Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."
A voice from the front of the audience yells out…. "Then stop clapping, ya asshole!"
You Gotta Love the Irish!

I am a thirtysomething southern girl enjoying the life God has blessed me with. I have an amazing husband of 11 years and we are making our home in Georgia with our two 7 year olds, Brian and Anna Cate, and two 1 year olds, Lyla James and Mary Connor. My prayer every day is to soak in every wonderful, chaotic moment with our blessings.
I have always loved houses and all of the different components of making a house a home: decorating, cooking, entertaining, gardening, but especially decorating. When we got married and began the process of renovating our first home, I realised my love and passion for interior design.
Over the years, between cuddling babies and raising little ones, I have had the pleasure of helping many people make their house a comfortable and inviting home they love

Two eggs poached on toasted asiago bread with tomatoes. Poaching is a delicate process. First bring a pot of water to a steady simmer. Try not to use too large a pot for poaching, smaller is better in my experience. Some people add vinegar to that water to help the egg proteins coagulate but i dont. The taste is not for me unless I'm hiding it behind a holindasse sauce. Now, crack a very fresh cold egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Give the pot a stir to create a gentle whirlpool effect and slide the egg into the water. The spinning water will help the egg white wrap itself around the yolk forming a more rounded poached egg.
I'm a big fan of all matters of risky business, salmonella included. So I poach my eggs runny leaving them in the water only two minutes or so. Seriously, the risk of salmonella is so remote… please.
For this particular breakfast I toasted up a couple of slices or asiago bread. A friend of mine brought it over because she didnt like strong flavor, her loss, my gain. I didn't butter this either. When topping the toast with the eggs I want the toast to be as absorbant as possible.
To finish this off, I simply washed and sliced up a plumb tomato straight from the garden and gave that a pinch of salt.

By Amanda Grigg
The ACLU of Michigan filed a federal lawsuit today on behalf of eight female inmates from the Muskegon County Jail who assert that "inhuman and degrading policies at the filthy, overcrowded lockup violate their constitutional rights." Among the (many) degrading policies is the jail's refusal to provide adequate feminine hygiene products to inmates.
Unfortunately, this is a common problem facing female inmates. According to Maya Schenwar, who has worked regularly with incarcerated women she has heard one recurring complaint from female prisoners: "There are never enough feminine hygiene products to go around." Many facilities don't provide feminine hygiene products at all, requiring women to buy pads or tampons from prison commissary. In these facilities women can wait weeks for their commissary to come in. Others have no external source of funds and are forced to go without or use makeshift hygiene products made of toilet paper.
This might seem like a minor problem, but I promise it's not. As Schenwar explains, "The hygiene-product shortage amounts to far more than an annoying inconvenience. Women described to me the discomfort and smell, especially in the summer, of living in close quarters with other women who are often menstruating simultaneously."
So let's talk periods. According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists the average woman's period lasts from three to five days, though menstruating for as few as two days and up to seven days is also considered normal. The amount of menstrual fluid (of which about 50% is actually blood) also varies, from 1-6 tablespoons over the course of a single menstrual cycle. [1]
A normal period might require a woman to change her pad or tampon as often as every hour or two hours during heavy bleeding. The Department of Health and Human Service's Office of Women's Health directs advises women to change their pads before they are soaked with blood and to always use the lowest absorbency tampon necessary (using different kinds of tampons on light and heavy days), changing every 4-8 hours to avoid developing bacteria associated with potentially deadly toxic shock syndrome.
Bleeding that last more than 7 days or is very heavy, requiring pad/tampon changes more than every two hours or containing clots larger than a quarter (yes, clots smaller than that are normal, stay with me guys), is a recognized medical condition known as "menorrhagia." For some women "menorrhagia" is accompanied by debilitating cramps and/or fatigue resulting from iron deficiency. Though it's a diagnosable medical condition heavy bleeding is common among women, affecting more than ten million women (one in five) in the United States each year. [2]
According to several of the ACLU's plaintiffs the Muskegon County Jail does not provide adequate hygiene products and women are often left to "bleed through their clothes" and not provided with new clothes until the next laundry day. Women reported being forced to wait hours "or even days" to receive requested feminine hygiene products."
Studies suggest that incarcerated women are more likely than their peers to have irregular periods.[3] Female prisoners in England have described a range of menstrual symptoms including "increased premenstrual tension (PMT), excessive menstruation, painful menstruation and menstrual cessation."[4] So in addition to those women with "normal" periods, forced to bleed for 2-7 days without adequate protection and sometimes without any at all it's also a safe bet to assume that there are women among the prison population who experience heavy bleeding that leaves them even worse off when provided with what would under normal conditions be considered inadequate supplies. Others might experience unexpected bleeding when periods become erratic, making it difficult to plan ahead to request feminine hygiene products several days in advance. In any case, wearing the same pad for hours or days (a likely result of insufficient supplies) on top of being extremely uncomfortable and unsanitary, increases the likelihood of contracting a bacterial or fungal infection.
Those with external funds can turn to the jail commissary which is run by a private company called Canteen Services and features wildly overpriced feminine hygiene products. According to the Muskegon County Jail Commissary Menu, a package of 8 tampons costs $4.23. Let's assume that these aren't the highest end tampons on the market. For ten cents more you could buy five times as many off-brand tampons at Walmart. If we estimate 8 hours per tampon as recommended by HHS, that's 13 days (or 2-3 menstrual cycle's) worth of protection from a store-brand vs. just shy of 3 days worth of protection for roughly the same price from the commissary. A package of 10 pads runs $4.55 at the Muskegon County Jail Commissary. For .80 cents less, you could purchase a 28 count box of overnight maxi pads with wings or a 20 count box of overnight extra-heavy flow maxi pads. Can you say prison industrial complex?
An inmate at a facility in Washington, described menstruating in prison as "an experience that either intentionally works to degrade inmates, or degrades us as a result of cost-saving measures: either way, the results are the same. Prison makes us hate part of our selves; it turns us against our own bodies."
Sadly degradation in the Muskegon County Jail isn't limited to the lack of feminine hygiene products. The accounts of the plaintiff's in the ACLU's lawsuit against the Muskegon County Jail offer harrowing examples of this kind gendered (and often racialized) degradation and dehumanization.
Here's Londora Kitchens' account of her time in Muskegon
I requested toilet tissue and sanitary napkins from jail officials on several occasions but my requests were ignored. For example on July 13, 2014, I was menstruating and was out of sanitary napkins. During this period, Officer Grieves told me that I was "shit out of luck," and I better not "bleed on the floor."
I am African-American. Ivan Morris, a guard at the jail, refers to African-American inmates as "your kind." I have heard him say, "you're in a cage like animals in a zoo."
I understand that I made a mistake in breaking the law. However, nobody deserves to be forced to live like an animal and to be treated like one. We are women deserving of basic respect, sanitary conditions, bodily privacy, and simply to be treated like the women we are. Most inmates here have already been through so much. Being treated so inhumanely makes rehabilitation more difficult.
Michelle Semelbauer was incarcerated for being unable to pay a fine (a modern reincarnation of debtors' prisons that the Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional [5]) and was consequently unable to purchase underwear – which the jail does not provide to indigent inmates. She was forced to remove all of her clothing (a one piece bodysuit) every time she used the bathrooms, leaving her naked in full view of male guards.
Paulette Bosch (among others) dealt with a MRSA (an antibiotic resistant staph) infection during her time at the Muskegon County Jail:
During the entire time I was in the holding tank, I was not allowed to shower. During my stay in the holding tank, I noticed that my Cesarean section wound had become infected. The wound remained infected for months. I was told by jail medical staff the infection was Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Jail staff forced me to clean my infected wound myself in my filthy cell. They ignored my doctor's instructions and didn't even provide me enough medical supplies to regularly clean and treat my wound. I would plead for more supplies, but the staff just kept telling me they would not help me.
All of this is only the tip of the iceberg. Current and former inmates report that the jail is chronically overcrowded, infested with insects and vermin, that they have had to wait hours to receive toilet paper, that guards watch women undress and shower, though showers and sinks are regularly broken and covered in mold, that holding cells are covered in urine and vomit, and that guards make racist comments to black inmates, including including calling an African American inmate a "gorilla" and a "monkey." Others burned themselves using faucets that provided only scalding water, were left in holding cells in clothes covered in vomit, were denied shoes, and forced to shower in pools of (likely filthy) standing water.
Scholars and advocates for prisoners argue that the poor conditions in jails and prisons across the country are often the result of economic incentives. In the case of for-profit prisons, the less spent on prisoners, the more the company profits. Among non-profit facilities there is little incentive to direct limited taxpayer funds to prisoners, who tend to come from some of the most marginalized groups in society. Incarcerated individuals are more likely to belong to racial minorities, to be poor, to struggle with addiction, and to suffer from mental illness. In addition, over 4 million Americans are currently disenfranchised as a result of voting laws targeting former felons. And even state-run facilities employ private companies to provide meals, commissary goods, and to conduct financial transactions (generally families sending money to prisoners, for which there is often a rather steep processing fee).
The number of individuals imprisoned in the United States quadrupled between 1980 and 2008. The number of women incarcerated increased at 1.5 times the rate of men. Today the U.S. is home to 5% of the world's population and 25% of its prisoners. Black women are incarcerated at nearly three times the rate of white women.We imprison more people an any other country in the world, and an estimated half million more than China. And we're making a killing.

All of the information about the Muskegon County Jail included here was (and can still be) found in the public record, specifically in the ACLU's press release and plaintiff declarations.

Aloha to Napili Shores Rental & The Marin Hawaii Connection – Resource for Buying and Selling in Hawaii
"Zowie, It's Maui"..those were the headlines and cover story of Sports Illustrated in the early 70's. It was 1973 when I first landed on the shores of Maui – not to vacation, but to actually live there. I must admit living in the middle of the ocean didn't catch my fancy, but alas all these years later I am still in love with the place and its mesmerizing characteristics.
I have my second home on Maui at Napili Shores. Living on Maui & Oahu, left a lasting imprint on my soul. The warm & gentle breezes that caress and de-stress, warm water clear enough to see coral, fish and turtles, sand so light it brings delight, sunrises and sunsets that shimmer in my minds eye, the sweet smell of topical flowers, & a place where whales never cease to amaze, all call to me. I chose Napili Bay for its peacefulness, serenity and no high rises! It is a low-key, none-glitzy, knock dead gorgeous location.

By RICARDO WELLS
BAHAMAS Transgender, Intersex United (BTIU) yesterday launched its multi-level equality campaign, "Bahamian Trans Lives Matter", which seeks to secure equal rights for transgendered Bahamians as the debate about the upcoming gender equality referendum continues.
During a press conference at the Hilton on Tuesday, BTIU representatives called on the Christie administration to ensure that the fundamental rights of all genders of Bahamians - male, female and transgendered - are protected. However, the group stressed that it is not trying to shift the focus of the gender equality referendum.
The group is calling for equal access to healthcare, education and employment without discrimination.
Lead spokesperson for the group, Alexus D'Marco affirmed that members of BTIU, and to a greater extent those in the wider lesbian, bi-sexual, gay and transgender (LBGT) community, are forced to live in unwarranted circumstances due to the confines of socially accepted behaviours in The Bahamas.
According to the self-proclaimed "first lady" of the LGBT community, scores of transgendered and intersex men and women are being discriminated on their jobs, in schools and in other social groupings because of this "well-endorsed" stigma.
"The conversation needed to come about, because discrimination (exists) on all levels. If we are talking about equality we have to go across the board for all Bahamians," Ms D'Marco said.
"The word equal, that's the key word. Why are you going to discriminate against one set of people and another set of people get all the privileges? That's discrimination. I am glad the topic (of the) referendum and all of that has come about because we live in 'la la land' in this country. Unless we come forward as humans and Bahamians and stand up for our own rights, things will (never) begin to move forward and change."
Ms D'Marco labelled those opposing the rights and privileges of transgender and intersex Bahamians as modern-day oppressors.
She said naysayers are opting to hide behind outdated research, refusing to acknowledge transgender and intersex for what it is – a medical condition and not as a sexual orientation.
"Just how they can pick up their collegiate math books and biological books, they can pick up and study (transgender). But, we want to live in 'la la land' and keep oppressing people, keep oppressing Bahamians when equality should be across the board," she said.
Ms D'Marco said the group now has the moral support and backing to come forward and demand what it rightfully deserves - "equality."
Question four of the upcoming referendum will ask voters to eliminate discrimination based on sex in the Constitution by inserting the word "sex" into Article 26.
Those opposing the bill think that this could one day lead to same-sex marriages, but the government has denied this as a possibility and stressed that the focus is solely on gender equality.
Addressing this particular point, BTIU representatives said they aren't looking to shift the focus of the equality bills, but they want to use the national conversation on equality to be all encompassing.
BTIU stressed that there are no laws to protect transgender and intersex Bahamians.
Torri Culmer, a member of the BTIU who is advocating for legal protection for transgender and intersex persons against being terminated from their jobs, stressed that her story proves that the rights of these persons aren't respected in the Bahamas.
Currently unemployed, Ms Culmer said she was fired from at least four jobs in recent years after it was discovered that she was a transgender woman.
She admitted that when she applied for those jobs, she would do so using her female persona with only her passport and other identification documents indicating that she was born a male.
According to her, there were no issues with these jobs until co-workers or customers that had prior knowledge of her transgender state made a point of it.
"(Employers) find it easier to just let me go, to let a transgender woman go," she stated.
Furthermore, BTIU lodged concerns for its fastest growing age group - trans youth.
BTIU representatives said trans youth are subjected to bullying in schools and often given religious conversion counseling instead of psychological services specific to transgender and intersex people.
Felicity "Peaches" Smith, an 18-year-old transgender youth, said once she and those around her identified her feminine preferences were not a phase, she was ostracised and ridiculed instead of supported.
Ms Smith said she was run out of high school in the 11th grade.
"I didn't have anybody to talk to just because of who I (am).
"At the end of the day, no matter who I am, I should not be discriminated (against)," she said.
BTIU contend that youth, once pushed out by family members, are left without homes and unable to finish school.
Officials said these kids often take to street cultures for protection and guidance; and therefore, are preyed upon by older men in both the homosexual and heterosexual communities.
Additionally, the group indicated that access to proper medical care is limited, with many doctors encouraging transgender and intersex people to travel abroad to receive needed medical care.
"There are some things that we need that doctors find themselves discriminating against," stated Ms D'Marco. "For example, there was one transgender girl, who when another issue going on with her, they asked what medications are you on and she said hormones . . . the doctor looked at her and said 'What? Who gives you that here?'
"These are the types of things that they face here in this country when they go to the doctor. Everyone can't afford to hop on a flight to Miami. There are things in the public service sector that we need - healthcare, education and equality," she added.
LGBT rights advocate Erin Greene said BTIU members should have the right to voice their concerns within the confines of democracy.
"It is very important that other Bahamians, (those) that do not identify with this community take the time to assess what their responsibilities are to this vulnerable minority in the country," she said.
Ms Greene called on Bahamians to engage the LGBT community respectfully as the matters related to the constitutional referendum play out.

In light of the US presidential debate season (which we've been diligently following with the assistance of
Sosolimited's ReConstitution), we've been inundated with talk of energy, how we're using it, where it's going to come from, where it's going, and how much of it will we need to operate the flying cars we will soon be driving (piloting?). We understand the critical nature of this issue and what it means for our children, grandchildren, and cyborg great-grandchildren. And from what it sounds like, if we're going to be using brand new sources of energy, we better finish up the old energy we've got first. The way we figure it, the world's energy infrastructure is basically a giant iPhone, and if we learned anything from the self-important manchild we recently consulted with at the Apple store, you gotta drain the thing before you recharge it or else you will be cursed with shitty battery life. And we don't want the world suddenly running out of a charge right when our cyborg great-grandchildren are about to make some coltan-infused Pillsbury Toaster Strudels.
Thankfully, thinkers like Niklas Roy, whose "useless things" we've told you about before, are way ahead of us. Roy has designed an incredibly efficient method of wasting energy which is currently installed at WRO Art Center in Wroclaw, Poland. While at this very moment, a since forgotten stream of tasteless jokes targeting the Polish and their poorly thought out inventions is re-emerging in your mind (racist!), Poland is in fact far ahead of the curve in this respect.
As you can see in the GIF above, Roy's Perpetual Energy Wasting Machine uses a system of mechanical ropes and pulleys to connect the elevator between the first and second floors of the building. When the door opens on the first floor, it triggers an action pushing the call button on the second floor. Once the elevator responds to that and its doors open on the second floor, the call button on the first floor is pushed. So if you're one of those folks who's too lazy to take one flight of stairs (come on!), Perpetual Energy Wasting Machine should successfully make getting up there a royal pain in the ass. And that's not the end of this energy efficiency prank…
The component above is a calculator that fastidiously tallies up exactly how much energy is being expended in kilojoules. It then prints the results of this tally and deposits them directly into a trash can below the mechanism, because no one actually has the time to go through all that data, and it would be inefficient practice to store so much physical paper.
The early sketch below details the basic concept behind the Perpetual Energy Wasting Machine. Even though you've already gotten a good idea of how this all works from the video, GIF, and all the text I've written above re-explaining them (which was a pretty wasteful use of my energy), go ahead and read through the sketch, y'know, in the spirit of wasting energy. You'll like to know that the final project is a bit different than how it appears in this sketch, so you're wasting just a tiny bit of extra brain space by learning about it.

Topic: Incorporating the Political Economy Into Investing
Speaker: Bob Pugh, CFA, CFP, President, Insight Wealth Management, Inc.
Investors often make the mistake of basing their investment decisions entirely on quantitative measures and management evaluation, overlooking macro political factors. Firm-specific factors can be overwhelmed in both the short and long runs by national and global political dimensions. Understanding political impacts can greatly improve an investor's assessment of risk. Insights will be offered on how current political trends affect stock market sectors.

Called the Jaguar XE Prestige, the new variant is positioned between Pure and Portfolio trims that are priced at Rs 39.9 lakh and Rs 47.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai) respectively. With additional comfort and entertainment features, the XE Prestige costs Rs 43.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai). The new variant gets a sunroof, 380W Meridian sound system, Taurus leather seats with driver seat memory, a rear-view camera and ambient lights.
The Jaguar XE saloon is being imported to India as CKD (completely knocked down) unit, and then assembled locally at JLR's production facility in Pune. Jaguar is known for making ultra-luxury and high end premium cars and the XJ and XF been the best example for the same. Now, with the growing demand for luxury cars, specifically the entry level sports segment, Jaguar is also aiming to mark its presence in this segment which is dominated by the Audi A4, the BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Jaguar XE India Competition – Audi A4, BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Jaguar XE India Exterior
Jaguar's XE is the first car in its segment that is based on all-new aluminum-intensive monocoque architecture. This new scalable aluminum architecture is exceptionally light, which makes it highly-advanced and refined sports saloon in its segment. The same platform will also be used for the future Jaguars. The XE saloon looks like the shorter version of XF and the flagship XJ.
The car features a rectangular grille with mesh grille inserts which is complemented by slender headlights. The front bumper looks identical to the XF, but is shorter in length. The side profile, too, looks familiar with sloping/rake roof line and flared wheel arches. At the rear, the vehicle gets a roof-mounted spoiler and a dual exhaust system. Its tail lamp assembly and chrome strip are smaller in size than that of Jaguar XF.
Jaguar XE India Interior
The interior of the XE is largely inspired from its larger siblings. To make it price competitive, the company cut down some high end features. The Jaguar XE Pure comes equipped with a satellite navigation system, DAB Audio, multi-functional steering wheel with leather cover, glossy black trim and a pair of 17-inch alloy wheels.
The mid-level 'Prestige' trim, additionally, gets heated leather front seats with contrasting stitches blue ambient lightning and brushed aluminum inserts. The range-topping 'Portfolio' trim is loaded with Windsor leather, bi-xenon headlamps with LED DRLs, dual-tone instrument panel, Meridian sound system, 10-way electrically adjustable front seats, etc. Its flared wheel arches have been fitted to 18-inch alloy wheels.
Jaguar XE India Engine and Transmission
The India-spec Jaguar XE is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that is paired to a 8-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain produces power worth 197bhp against 320Nm of torque on Pure and Prestige variants, while the top-trim Portfolio offers 237bhp and 340Nm of torque. The engine is mounted longitudinally, and drives the rear or all four wheels.

Professional Commercial Property Management Services
Managing a property is no simple, or easy feat. And when it comes to letting out a property for the commercial market, the task becomes so in depth that most property owners employee the services of a professional commercial property management team.
Renting out property to be used for business purposes can spell disaster for any who doesn't know what they are getting themselves into. Commercial properties typically see much more wear and tear than residential rentals, and this can spur on the development of structural problems as well as electrical, drainage and sewage issues.
By employing a professional property management company, you can be sure that all aspects of the building are properly surveyed, and that all the correct paper work and permits are issued and obtained. Commercial property management companies will also work together with you to help maintain your property, and perhaps most importantly of all, they'll assist you finding the trustworthiest tenants to occupy your property.

An air strike in Somalia on Thursday, which insurgents blamed on the United States, killed at least 10
people, including Al-Qaeda's military leader in the war-torn country, a rebel spokesman and residents said. The militant leader was named as Moalim Aden Hashi Ayro who had trained with
Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, had been linked to the deaths of foreign aid workers, and officials said had been one of the targets of a U.S. air strike in 2007.
I've long argued that U.S. air strikes at suspected terrorists in Somalia ultimately will only destabilize the country. Now, in the wake of Thursday's air raid, Somali insurgents from the Al Shabab group have targeted the African Union peacekeepers (pictured) that represent the country's best hope for peace:
Shabab spokespersons held a press conference over the phone this morning with local radio stations in which they vowed they would retaliate against the attack," Alex Strick van Linschoten blogs from Mogadishu. "It makes working in Mogadishu just that little bit more difficult … "
In retaliation [for the attack, Al Shabab representatives said], "the mujahideen of al-Shabab and their leader Sheikh Mukhtar Abu Zubayr will double their acts for the sake of God and their jihad. And jihad is bigger than the actions of just one person."
Sure enough, the first retaliation occurred today:
minutes ago (at around 10:30 Somali time) in fact there was the first sign of this in a roadside bomb attack against a 3-vehicle convoy of
African Union troops on the road from the airport into town. There were no deaths and no injuries, but there is now a relatively sizeable hole in the road.
Obviously, we want our armed forces to take out Al Qaeda types wherever possible. But sometimes, in a global counterinsurgency like the one we're in now, whacking an enemy isn't always the smartest maneuver.

Preventing Oak Anthracnose and Oak WiltBy Hillary HeathDiseases, Prevention, SeasonalComments are off
Oak Anthracnose and Oak Wilt are two commonly confused diseases that occur in Oak trees. Fall and Winter are the best times to prevent these common problems.
The diseases look very similar but cause very different problems in the tree. Oak Anthracnose kills new foliage and twigs, but Oak Wilt blocks water and nutrients in the xylem tissue of the tree. Listed below are ways to spot both diseases, prevention measures, and ways to cure your trees.
Oak Anthracnose is a leaf spot disease caused by fungus. The most susceptible trees are in the White Oak family and anthracnose can kill all the foliage and many twigs on the tree in a new growing season. The plant tissues infected the year before by anthracnose produce spores that are then rain splashed onto the new growth in the spring. Necrotic (brown/dead), deformed, leaf tissue and irregularly shaped spots begin to appear. These spots will form along the veins of the leaf and will have a distinct margin between the healthy and dead tissue. The spots most commonly occur on the lower inside branches where it is more humid. Oak Anthracnose, when treated properly can be cured with no permanent damage.
Oak Wilt is most severe in trees in the Red Oak family. This disease is also caused by fungus and leads to necrotic leaves. Browning of the leaves begins at the margins of the leaf, resembling drought. The fungus that causes Oak Wilt infects the xylem tissues, making the tree unable to carry water and nutrients from the roots to the crown, killing the foliage. The fungus produces a sweet smelling mat of fungal spores under the bark of the tree, this attracts sap feeding insects which carry the spores from tree to tree. You will notice the leaves begin to wilt on the branch extremities and the upper portions of the tree and then will spread inward. A Red Oak tree can completely wilt in 2-6 weeks if left untreated and can die within a year.
The best way to prevent both of these diseases is to practice proper tree maintenance. Rake and remove leaves in the fall and prune trees in the fall to make sure air continues to circulate in the humid spring months when new growth comes in. Make sure when planting trees you have proper tree spacing to promote air circulation through the trees. Prune your trees only during dry weather, this will keep fungal spores from spreading out of infected trees or into fresh cuts on healthy trees. Fertilize your trees regularly with a nitrogen fertilizer, your Certified Arborist can recommend the right fertilizer for your needs. A regularly fertilized Oak tree can build up a resistance to Oak Wilt and Anthracnose.
The only way to treat these diseases is with a fungicide application done by an arborist. Only an arborist can diagnose your tree and recommend whether removal of the tree is necessary.
If you suspect there is something wrong with your Oak trees, call Heath Tree Service today and one of our Certified Arborists will evaluate your needs. 404.261.5000.

Dr. Phil Zeltzman's Blog
Luna, a happy ending despite an agonizing decision to amputate
Luna, an 11 year old shepherd mix, had a large mass (larger than a golf ball) between her toes in the left front leg.
Actually, the mass got much smaller suddenly, after she literally chewed up half of it. That left a large open wound, which got infected, and caused a horrible smell.
Luna was limping because of the severe pain this mass caused.
Her family vet did a needle test ("fine needle aspirate"), which came back normal or as we say "inconclusive". So there was nothing to worry about right? It was likely a benign mass after all.
Amputation was mentioned, but Luna's loving owner could not accept the idea. She thought it was a horrible idea and Luna would be miserable. She found me through my website, reached out to me, and we had a little heart to heart. I explained my concern that this was not a benign mass at all, and that amputation was the only reasonable option.
After agonizing over this difficult decision, Luna's owner eventually agreed to do the right thing for her beloved dog and scheduled the amputation.
But first, we needed to take chest X-rays, because the cancer I suspected typically spreads quickly to the lungs. Fortunately, no spreading was visible at that point.
We performed the amputation (let's call it day 1) and surgery went smoothly. Luna went home that night – walking. Below is a summary of what happened after surgery, to give you a feel for the emotional roller-coaster Luna's owner went through.
Day 1: surgery was performed. Luna went home and had a rough first night. Of course, Luna's owner questioned her decision.
Day 2: I recommended adding a third pain medication.
Day 3: One of my nurses called to check in. Luna felt much better already.
Day 5: Luna's owner wrote: "Hi Dr. Zeltzman, she seems to be doing great so far. She's acting more like herself each day. She's just sad she can't get on the couch or bed."
Day 6: The biopsy results came back. The news was not good. As expected, the mass was indeed cancerous. It's called malignant melanoma.
In spite of the bad news, Luna's owner was relieved that her dog was finally out of pain. She wrote: "Thanks again. We can't thank you enough for the amazing work you did to her!"
Day 28: Four weeks after surgery, Luna's owner wrote: "Hi Dr Zeltzman. Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful care you gave to Luna. She is doing wonderful and living a happy pain free life. I wanted to share a picture of her because she looks so beautiful and happy!"
So what is the purpose of this blog? I'm not sharing this story to brag. And I am not here to try to convince you that amputation is a wonderful thing and a walk in the park (no pun intended) .
What I would like pet lovers to believe is that when we recommend sacrificing a leg, it's never for fun. It's always to help a cat or a dog feel better, once the source of the pain is removed.
The biggest obstacle is most often in the pet owner's mind. They are often terrified that amputation is cruel. I suspect that, subconsciously, they think of themselves as an amputee, walking on one leg. Well, remember, pets walk on 3 legs after amputation and they adapt very well. And typically, they start walking a few hours after surgery!
Pets don't even know they're missing a leg, all they know if that they don't feel the pain anymore.
In Luna's owner's own words: "She is doing wonderful and living a happy pain free life."

From "Romeo and Juliet" – William Shakespeare
ROMEO: But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off!

Last time we described the first wave of messengers, which boomed in the late 90s – early 00s. The first generation of messengers is out of date, whilst the second still can be seen in almost every smartphone. The second wave of messengers began with the vast increase in smartphone users when the iPhone and Android appeared on the market in 2007 and 2008 respectively. The 'Application' became the new fundamental concept, which led to a complete overhaul and rethinking of the messenger concept.
Perhaps WhatsApp (at first based on XMPP protocol, and then evolved) is the most famous and most common messenger for smartphones. Other players of the second generation are: WeChat, LINE, Google Hangouts, Viber, KakaoTalk, Telegram, ChatON, Hike, Kik, and Facebook Messenger (which is still competing with WhatsApp even after Facebook purchased it).

You've probably heard about clean eating in the media, but what is it? And how does it work? Read on to find out and for tips on how you can integrate clean eating into your diet.
What is clean eating?
The basic premise of clean eating is that you cut out any processed or "dirty" food and eat natural, whole foods as much as possible. It's important to know that clean eating is not just another weight-loss method or diet. It's a happy, healthy lifestyle with no weighing, measuring or point counting.
Clean eating doesn't involve meal replacement shakes, fasting or fat binding pills. In fact, when it comes to clean eating, fat is not the enemy. It's much more of a sustainable lifestyle change for the long-term, rather than another quick fix.
What to cut out
We're used to diets that ask us to remove certain food groups. Atkins says no carbs; slimming clubs ask us to exclude or limit high-fat items, Some diet plans, even require that we eat nothing but cabbage soup, but humans weren't built that way. We are created to enjoy variety, and restrictive eating plans need a lot of willpower after the first couple of days.
Clean eating is different; there are no particular food groups excluded. It's about how you prepare it. Food that is whole or unprocessed makes up most of the diet, and you are to limit and reduce processed foods. When it comes to clean eating, foods that should be limited include prepared meals, margarine, soda, chips, cookies and baked goods. Also, pastries and processed meats like ham, bacon, and sausages.
These foods are considered 'dirty' or processed to the point of having little nutritional value. They are likely high in fat, sugar or additives which your body struggles to process. For example, clean eating advocates real butter over margarine. Your body can successfully break down the amino acid chains in butter and put them to use. It cannot break down the complicated chain in margarine.
Also, "diet" foods should be avoided. While containing less overall calories, diet foods often have more processed ingredients to make up for the lack of fat or sugar. Your body struggles to recognize and digest these and so won't feel full after eating them. These are sometimes called "trick" foods due to the way they trick your body into thinking it's eaten but contain no real nutritional benefit.
What to keep in
While clean eating does mean becoming more aware of what you are eating, don't worry! There is still a vast range of nourishing and filling food that is available to you. You can enjoy – olive oil, nuts, fish, whole grains, dairy, legumes and beans, fresh and frozen veg, free-range and organic meat.
If you are going for frozen veg, make sure to check the packet for ingredients to make sure nothing was added in the freezing process. For dairy and meat, go for items not farmed with chemicals (organic) and allowed to roam the land (free-range).
While this is more expensive than other options, it is wise to remember that it's only in modern-day society, that we enjoy meat every day. Think of meat as a treat to enjoy a few times a week. It will help you include beans, pulses and tastier vegetarian options in your diet.
Example Meals
Just because eating clean means cooking from scratch more often, it doesn't mean that you need to chain yourself to the stove! You can prepare simple, delicious clean meals easily and quickly. Try Greek-style roast fish, kale, and apple soup with walnuts or BBQ squid salad, all available from BBC good food.com.
There are also countless cleaning eating cookbooks on the market now. Check out Hemsley and Hemsley, as a good starting point. Of course, you don't have to keep it simple if you don't want to. If you fancy getting more adventurous, then feel free to cook a clean dinner party or Sunday roast!
Why it works
After a lifetime of limitation diets, the idea of eating most foods might seem alien to you. Many people think of fat as the enemy, and to avoid it at all costs. However, research has shown that this is not the case. We now know that the body needs fat to function efficiently. Limiting consumption of fat can push the body into starvation mode. Encouraging it to store any fat consumed; making it even harder to maintain a healthy weight.
While we're used to thinking of saturated fats as unhealthy, clean eating doesn't restrict such fats. It requires us to shift our perspective to see processed fats and carbohydrates as bad or dirty. That is because processed fats cannot be broken down by the body in nutrients it can use, so gets stored.
Clean eating is particularly useful in dealing with fat, as it also encourages consumption of "healthy fats", which can be found in nuts, oily fish, and avocados. The amino acids in these sorts of foods help break down and process saturated fats, which can have a positive effect on weight and cholesterol management.
A similar issue happens with processed carbs. Sugar-rich food travels into the bloodstream quickly, the body is then unable to use such an enormous amount of energy in one go, so stores it as fat. Also, because of the speed that processed sugars hit the bloodstream, they cause a spike or sugar rush.
While it can feel good temporarily, these carbs leave as fast as they came. Leaving you feeling sluggish and unwell. You end up reaching for another sugary item to get that feeling back. This results in a cycle of sugar added that's hard to break and disastrous for your health.
Good for you, better for the planet
How our food is manufactured and processed is different from how the human body was designed. We mass-produce everything. The ingredients added, bulk out food to make it more appealing, which makes it cheaper for the manufacturer to make. It increases their profits, and at heart, our food system is a profit-making venture. That means that most items that are ready-made contain other processed ingredients as filler.
Therefore, it is much better to cook your food from scratch to see what goes into your meals and limit any processed ingredients. You will also find that many processed or dirty foods have significant amounts of refined sugar. Sugar in this form can be dangerously addictive, with lab rats responding to cocaine and sugar in the same way. By cutting sugar out of your diet, you will be doing yourself a huge favour. Have patience with the process as you may feel some withdrawal symptoms at the beginning.
There are also a few pioneering whole food companies out there that do produce cleaner products. These companies review both their farming and production processes from the ground up, to fit with a cleaner ethos. Check out their websites and social media for more information. A good start is to read the Hampton Creek details on their Facebook page or check out the Epicure website.
While you need to stay away from processed sugar when eating clean, don't think that you have to cut out all treats – you don't. Making your treats and snacks from scratch is an excellent way of sticking to the clean eating plan, but eating realistically. Clean eating replacements are the watchwords here. Use beans instead of flour, agave for sugar, avocado for margarine. Baking in this way provides delicious treats that are higher in fibre and nutrition and help cut out "dirty" foods.
How is clean eating different from all the other diets out there?
While clean eating is similar to the Paleo diet in the sense that it encourages the intake of vegetables and unprocessed meats. In clean eating, you can also include the two primary food groups of dairy and legumes, which provide much-needed fibre and protein. Clean eating is different from a carb-free diet because you can eat carbs!
Yes, you have to avoid processed carbs, but you can eat whole grains. Whole grains are products where the grain hasn't been split during the process. Think quinoa, bulgur wheat, Freekeh, and Amaranth. The occasional use of wholemeal, where the grain has been divided into bread, flour is acceptable in clean eating but should not become a regular thing.
80-20 principle
It is always good to have a balanced approach to eating, and a good way of integrating clean eating into your life is to try the 80-20 principle. Eat clean for 80% of the time and be more chilled for the other 20%. It can be hard to eat clean all the time in our modern world, and this approach gives you the flexibility to have the occasional treat when you need it.

Back in 2004, I was studying flamenco guitar in Sevilla, Spain. I was part of a very intensive flamenco program.
I got tired of so much traditional flamenco and the purist environment. My background is in rock and roll, I grew up listening to classic rock (Clapton, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Floyd, Queen, etc…). You could say it is in my blood at this point.
So, as I was learning this new form of expression I saw the possibilities of what I could do with the technique. I decided to arrange Bohemian Rhapsody, chords, melody, harmonies, all of it just with the guitar. Took me over a year of arranging, practicing and making many mistakes live (lots of pressure when everyone knows the song).
Now over a decade later this piece has become part of my story. I've made it my own and it has been with me at every show connecting me to audiences all around the world. It's amazing when a whole crowd sings along, so powerful.
With all the respect to Queen and with gratitude to the gifts they left to us in their music we wanted to pay tribute to them and their legacy.
We recorded this music video at The Spot Studios in Lakewood, Colorado. With Jordi Marin on Drums and Roger Harmon on Bass. Video was shot by Shaun Asakura.
I hope you enjoy it!!

Essex Farm Bunkers
Originally built of timbers and sandbags, the bunkers were used primarily as a field dressing station. As the war progressed and artillery got better, the bunkers became a target for German guns. The concrete bunkers replaced the timber ones in 1917. It was here we found out about John McCrae, a medical surgeon, who wrote a poem to commemorate the death of his best friend. The poem was about death and how the poppies grew through all the chaos of war; the poem is called 'In Flanders Fields'. The poem was written after the first German gas attacks in 1915. John McCrae is buried in Wimereux Communal Cemetery, along the coastal road near Boulogne, France. He died on 8th January 1918, a victim of pneumonia.
In Flanders Fields by John McCrae
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

- Not to be confused with Mortimer Goth.
Mortimer Goth is the son of Gunther and Cornelia Goth, nephew of Agnes Crumplebottom, husband of Bella Goth, father of Cassandra Goth and Alexander Goth, grandfather of Aria Goth, Edgar Goth and Georgina Goth, descendant of almost all of the ghosts in the Goth family graveyard.
Mortimer was the oldest sim in Sunset Valley, passing away at the age of 105 days.
Mortimer grew a moustache. His hair is similar to the style he has in TS2.
His normal outfit is as close as I could get it to the purple smoking jacket, black/gray trousers and black shoes that he wears in all games except TS2. The rest of his wardrobe is black or purple.
Life leading up to Sims 3Edit
Mortimer had the best life that Gunther and Cornelia could give him. But he was still lonely. The only person he could really talk to was his close friend Bella. His parents had hoped that if they provided him with everything he could ever need, it would be enough.
Living With Auntie AgnesEdit
Often his mother would take him to visit his aunt, but she never really spent much time with him since the death of her husband. She distanced herself from all but her sister. On Cornelia's advice, she moved Erik's grave to the Goth graveyard, and moved in with the family.
Mortimer only found out that she had moved in, when he came home from school and saw his aunt sat at the dining room table in her night gown. That memory would scar him for quite some time.
Bachelors Move InEdit
Mortimer was not complaining, when Cornelia told him to take Bella out into the conservatory, while the grown ups had to talk. While they played with the chess set, Bella told Mortimer that her family might have to move away. She did not understand why, but that would mean that they would not see each other any more.
The last thing he wanted was to lose his only friend. During their game he tried to come up with a plan that would mean Bella would not have to move away.
Simis, Bella's father, came out to the conservatory to tell them that they would not be moving away after all. The whole family would be moving into this mansion.
Mortimer was so elated, that he made space for her in his room and got his parents to buy a matching bed to his for Bella to sleep there. At first they had objections to their son sharing a room with a girl, but they were glad to see him happy at last.
Mortimer spent much of his childhood either reading a book, painting on the easel in the attic, doing homework, or playing with Bella. He did speak with Michael often, but never got all that close to Jocasta, Simis or Agnes.
His grades increased. Doing very well in art, getting better grades than most, Mortimer always paid attention, and was never caught slacking off or talking to friends. Outside of home, his social circle was very small.
Mortimer rarely got a good night's sleep, because most nights ghosts would come into his room and turn on his stereo. To get some sleep, he had to move it into the bathroom at night.
Mortimer and Bella were inseparable. They were often seen at the table in the kitchen studying, or playing in the gardens, or talking to each other in the parlour.
Mortimer may have grown in body and years, and managed to grow a rather nice moustache, but he certainly did not act his age. He did not much like the idea of getting a job - he could do all that when he was grown up. The only downside was that he had less time to spend with Bella, while she was at work.
Always having carried a bit of a torch for Bella, Mortimer decided to make his move. He wooed her, with plenty of flattery, and took her out to see a movie or a concert. Easily she fell for him, and agreed to go steady with him. Mortimer believed that she was the love of his life, and his future wife, and he made sure to show her how much she meant to him.
Finally Mortimer was able to enjoy the family fortune. To keep him happy, anything he wanted his parents would buy. All he really bought was books, until Bella urged him to work at the grocery store so they could spend more time together. He misinterpreted the concept of a job, and brought the grocery store, to make sure all the staff treated her kindly. Mortimer meant well, but was unaware that Bella never wanted that to happen. While he was investing, he wanted to prepare for his future and become a partner in the science lab.
Now in her golden years, Cornelia wanted what was best for her son. She got tired of finding him either fishing in the pool, or playing with his old toys in the attic. His mother gave him an ultimatum; get a job, or he will have to maintain the family graveyard. Mortimer did both. Just not the Goth family graveyard, the one for the whole neighbourhood. Well, she didn't specify which family, after all.
Wanting to stay in good shape, he went jogging every day after school. Eventually Gornelia got off his case, so he quit his job.
Young AdultEdit
This life state had a bitter sweet beginning for Mortimer. Bella aged up shortly after. Their love couldn't get any stronger. He got a job in the medical career, because he wanted to help sims. The night he planned to propose to Bella, Simis Bachelor died. He didn't want to be insensitive, while she was mourning her father's loss.
The following night, Bella and Mortimer took a walk through the gardens. He mentioned that he had planned on proposing to her. He decided to go for it, and popped the question. Bella accepted. Since the passing of Simis was still raw in everyone's hearts, they had a small wedding ceremony near the pool, just family and close friends. They moved out of his child hood bedroom, and into Simis and Jocasta's former bedroom - Jocasta couldn't bare to stay in it, because it reminded her too much of Simis.
Now he had a family of his own, Mortimer worked harder to get promoted. Taking any opportunity that he could get, to help further his career.
Mortimer came home from work, to find the whole house in good spirits for a change. Bella announced that she was pregnant with his child. Cornelia had already brought the old Goth cradle down from the attic, and set it up in Mortimer's old room. She had decorated it quite nicely for the new arrival.
He never got to spend much time with Bella during the pregnancy, because of work. He had gotten promoted to medical intern, and was constantly on call. That didn't stop him from running out to the supermarket to get foods that satisfied her cravings, or reading the pregnancy books she insisted her read.
Sadly Jocasta and Gunther passed with in a day of each other. Mortimer never got time to mourn, because he was stressed with work and taking care of his wife.
Mortimer had to miss work, to rush Bella to the hospital, when she went into labour. Both mother and father emerged with a beautiful baby girl, that they named Cassandra. During her babyhood, he barely saw her. More sorrow fell, when Cornelia passed away. Aunt Agnes seemed to disappear all together. She remained in the attic or going down to the graveyard to mourn her sister.
He made time for her, when she aged into a toddler, by potty training her and reading books to her. To make sure his father Gunther could meet Cassandra, he took the urn to the science facility. There was word of a new breakthrough, that could revive ghosts. The ghost of Gunther spent a little time with Cassandra, he was proud of his son. But he was not happy, with being parted from Cornelia. Gunther parted from the world of the living once more, leaving parting words for his son that he could not be more proud of him.
Work went great for Mortimer. He soon became friends with all his co-workers and his boss. He was promoted again and again.
Bella announced that she had fallen pregnant once more. He was excited about being a father again. He called in a few favours at work, to get Bella a scan at the hospital. Mortimer did not want some nurse to tell him what the baby would be. He wanted to find out himself. Bella was carrying a boy. Mortimer had finally got the son and heir that he wanted.
During Bella's pregnancy, Mortimer was on call and reading medical journals. He barely had time to spend with Bella this time. Just as Cassandra aged into a child, Bella went into labour at the party. He rushed her to hospital. The couple left with a baby boy, Alexander.
If Mortimer wasn't working, he was on call waiting to go to work. He saw little of his children at all. He came home from work one day, and was given the sad news that his aunt Agnes had passed away.
Mortimer got older, but certainly not that much wiser. He decided that he would make a possitive move in his life, and work hard towards a promotion. His children were doing well, he had Bella to support him. He just had to get rid of the suspicion that everything was about to change forever.
His hunch proved true, when a young man who was perfectly healthy was rushed into hospital, with a stab wound in his arm. He felt no pain at all. Mortimer stitched him up, and gave him some pain medication. He couldn't help wondering who this strange man was.
Mortimer started to feel old, now that his children were growing up and finding their own way into the world. All his hard work paid off, when he was declared a world renowned surgeon. He decided that it was time to relax, and work on some hobbies that he had let slide, or maybe achieve an old dream or two.
It warmed his heart to see Cassandra find someone that she was head over heels in love with. He accepted Adrian like a son. Mortimer believed that his daughter Cassandra had given birth to an illegitimate daughter named Aria. He accepted the child with open arms.
Mortimer considered retiring from work, but he knew that he would miss working too much. Being an elder did not mean that he had to retire to the rocking chair, shuffling around in his dressing gown and slippers. He never was a sim who could act his age.
When his son rushed into a relationship with the elderly Megan Moocher, he knew something was wrong. They rushed into marriage. Adrian confirmed his fears at the wedding, that Megan Moocher was a criminal and a gold digger. Mortimer took Megan away from the wedding, and offered her §50,000 in exchange for a divorce from Alexander, and a promise never to come near the Goth family ever again. Megan took the money and run, never to be seen in Sunset Valley again. He returned to the party, and told Alexander that she had agreed to a divorce. He never told his son, that there was a money insentive.
Mortimer had noticed Cassandra's vampirism. How could he miss it? He took a day off work, and visited the elixir store, to purchase two potent cure elixirs. He had heard that they cured all supernatural life states.
That night, he gave one vial to his daughter, and told her not to fear death. Just because sims had departed this life, it didn't mean they were gone forever. He asked her to take the potion. A few hours later, he saw that Adrian was human. Mortimer respected her decision, because she was giving someone she loved a better chance at life. He told her that she would understand what he was about to do. Mortimer threw the second potent cure elixir on her, and cured her.
Mortimer comforted Bella, while she mourned Michael. He attended Alexander's wedding, and was thrilled that his first grandson was born shortly after.
During the next full moon, Aria decided to play her guitar for the entertainment of her family. Bella turned to him and kissed him. She told him that she loved him always. Shortly after, she passed away. Mortimer was left broken hearted at the loss of the only woman he had ever loved.
Finally he understood Michael's devotion to Lolita. Mortimer lost all lease of life. His days were spent wandering the house, or in the graveyard at night waiting for Bella's ghost to come. He could not even find joy in watching his grandchildren grow.
Jenna and Alexander do try to take care of him, but he wishes they would leave him alone. He wants to wallow in his own misery in peace and quiet, without all of the fuss.
Mortimer was more than happy to go on his way, when Grim Reaper came for him. He was sat in his favourite rocking chair, while the rest of the family were elsewhere in the house. They all came to mourn his passing. His grave was set beside Bella's in the family graveyard.
- Grocery Store (owner)
- Science Lab (partner)
- Hospital (partner)
- Since Mortimer was based off Gomez Addams, I chose to recreate that with his forth trait. From my favourite portrayal of Gomez, played by Raul Julia, who was very childish and charismatic.
- Mortimer's life will not mirror the one other sims games set out for him. Only similarity will be same family, wife and children. Career, and so on will be different.
- Mortimer did live to be 105 days old in my game. Nothing was done to encourage this on my part. He just kept on living day after day.

So I went over to Mount Olivet Cemetery this weekend. It's a huge cemetery in Detroit. Part of it's on the other side of Outer Drive and there's a little tunnel that connects the two sides. It's where my grandparents (from my mother's side) were buried and my grandfather's sister and his parents are also buried there. I took out my garden tools (which are limited since I only use them for days like today) and dug out around the stones and got rid of the grass that was covering the stones. I cleaned it all up and used some water to clean off the stones when I was done. I had never met my great-grandparents and I had never noticed that my great-grandfather died before my mother was born, some how I never realized this before… That's been slightly disturbing to me the past few days.
I also dug around and cleaned up the two O'Neil tombstones that are practically right on top of ours. They are so close I actually went into the office once to see if they were somehow related. They were just so neglected, I think it's because the stones have sunk so far it's easy for the dirt and grass to get on them. My great-grandfather's is almost as bad and his is lower then the other family members so I'm guessing that's why. The writing on his is pretty faded, does anyone know if you can get tombstones re-engraved?
