Heavy jersey, quire flattering to be in jersey
Beautiful dress. Material soft to touch. The colour is a deep burnt orange but looks lovely on. A little long for me as I'm only 5ft 9 but easy to turn up a little bit.
This is really pretty, but not for me and my tummy roll & not quite firm upper arms! I think for younger people it is stunning. The dark orange is really a gorgeous color.
This is the perfect length for me. It just grazes the top of my feet and not the floor when I'm not wearing shoes. Colour appears darker than the photo but that's not an issue. Being blonde its probably better than a bright orange for me. Nicely weighted material.
Heavy jersey so hides a multitude of sins. Very long, so at 5' 11" this dress drapes over my feet and onto the floor. Will require either a hem to be taken up or heels only.
This Dress fits beautifully and its very flattering. The fabric used is a really good quality, its not thin and see through like some others. I paid £20 I love it.
Very RARE can I get something that not only fits perfectly but it's also long enough. Soo happy 😃
A great summer holiday dress. I bought the orange colour - which more terra cotta than bright orange. It is a flattering fit, with a lovely v-back detail and side split, and very, very long!
This dress fits amazing and in Love with the fabric- very soft. I didn't realize there would be a slit on one side but really like that.
Great to have this long dress to my feet. Beautiful fabric. Hope it washes well. Flattering too on my curves and bumps.

Yes, would certainly recommend to a tall friend. Would love this in some more natural colours too - taupe?
Although this dress looked great on me, I felt the colour did not suit my skin tone, so I had to return, otherwise it's a lovely
Comfortable and easy to wear.
Lovely dress, goes with everything but will think twice before ordering from LTS again. I bought 3 dresses to try from the maxi range so I could try them on but its ended up taking nearly 3 weeks to get a refund on the returns!
Very nice dress, in both colours. It's long and elegant and compliments any tall lady wearing this dress whatever shape. I got the sale price and the additional 25% off the sale price in Orange colour and it was a steal. There's no gaping in the front, it's modest looking and the back design really is lovely. Nice dress.
Great dress. Both colours. Lovely make and if you get the sale fantastic. Any tall lady can wear this.
Great Dress and even better with sale price. Elegant and nice overall.
very pleased with my purchase - very true to size
This dress fit perfectly. The length was excellent and the overall look was wonderful. I have worn it twice already and have gotten so many compliments.
Excellent quality, I had to return cos I felt the colour was not right on me
Beautiful LONG dress. Perfect
Love this dress. True to size. Somehow manages to be very fitted and still skim the bits you're not too proud of!
Had to send back as it was too dark color for me.
Fits perfect! Wearing this dress at my nephews wedding:)
Love this dress! I have both in black and burnt orange. Can be dressed up or down. I am 6'2" and the length is perfect. Great quality. I am currently wearing these as a summer dress and excited to wear for fall. Ordered my usual LTS size 8.
Tried it on but had to return it
Love the fit of this dress! Well cut and the fabric is quite thick so very forgiving of a full figure. Lots of compliments!
Purchased this as a gift and my friend loved it!
Love this it's gorgeous
Wow, what a great summer dress! Great fit, great length, and great material. The fit of the dress is flattering without being revealing. The length of the dress skims my feet, which is perfect! The material is heavy enough to hang beautifully without revealing problem areas, yet light enough to keep you cool. This is definitely a summer must-have.
I already had this dress in the beautiful rust color but I just had to buy the black one too - on sale so I am extra happy
Can't believe what a great dress this is. Perfect length and cut and the material skims over any imperfections. Absolutely adore this.
I bought this dress on sale and it is worth every penny. The fabric is very good quality and a good stretch. I got the burnt orange and it is very classy. I'm even thinking of getting the black version although I have several black dresses. Wish they had this dress in autumn colours.
Figure hugging and flattering. Nice material. I'm normally in between sizes 12-14. The 12 fitted perfectly. Can we have more colours?
Absolutely loved this but the picture or description does not show the very large side splits which I did not like personally so had to return it..... absolutely gutted as it was just what I had been looking for (minus the splits) and the quality was amazing!!
am so pleased i bought this dress,material is lovely & hangs nice,this dress can be dressed up or down,it will go with lots of things,its true to size,i am 5"11 & it touches the floor,buy now girls,long tall sally clothes last for years,as they are super quality.
This dress is as great as all the reviews say. Imagine a body skimming maxi dress with fabric thick enough it actually hides things but breathable and flows so it isn't hot. It's a miracle. I take a size 16 in regular street clothes but almost always an M or 14 in LTS. I ordered a 16 in this dress as I was worried about it showing too many flaws. Even slightly big it is still flattering. I will have it altered a bit to fit just right but could get away with the current fit as well.
The best dress fits perfect, I can dress it up or down. Wear summer or winter with boots and sweaters. I purchase both colors. Love it
I love the dress just perfect. True to size. I got both colors!! Dress up or down. Live in .Chicago can wear summer or winter with boots and sweaters. Beautiful!!! Well made!!! Thank you
I love the length of this dress, the material which is soft to touch, it's a perfect dress to relax in this summer. Combine with a neckless and a nice belt and you're ready for your dinner date.
Der Stoff ist toll und die Länge perfekt. Leider war es mir zu eng. Ich habe ein paar Röllchen und etwas Bauch und da hat sich das Kleid so richtig schön angeschmiegt. Etwas lockerer wäre toll gewesen.
Love this dress. It is perfect for travelling. It is comfortable, versatile and can be casual or classy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The length is just perfect for me. An interesting cut in the side. Good fabric and fit.
Excellent dress, I'm 6ft tall and fits perfectly. Nice material not thin and flimsy like alot of other maxi dresses! True to size.
Have this in both colors. Quality fabric. More like this please!
Love love love this heavy jersey maxi! The slit on the one side is practical and below the knee. Wore it outdoors for a trade expo with loafers and a denim jacket. Glad to report that it does not bag at the bum or knees nor does it pull. Not keen on the rust coloured one though. Wish it came out in navy blue.
It takes a lot to WOW myself and this heavy jersey dress ticks all the boxes. Great length - skims the bridge of my foot. Great stretch and keeps its shape. It does not bag at the knees or bum like some jersey fabrics after a days wear. Great weight - can't see my underwear lines through the dress. Great forgiving cut - it's a flattering cut for me with C cup bust and wide hips.
I love this dress. I did wonder about buying the rust colour but opted to failsafe black. The quality is excellent and the style is lovely. You can dress it up of down making the dress very versatile. Will definitely consider the rust colour.
The fit is great - perfect length - and I'll say it again what a beautiful rust colour
The material is thick enough that it does not feel cheap. The length is amazing! I was pleasantly surprised that the dress fit in both the bust and the hips as sometimes this is an issue. The arm holes are a bit on the tighter side but fine. I ordered the 12 on this one yet I ordered the 10 on the ruched Maxi skirt and glad that I did.
I haven't worn this dress out yet but trying it on I love it! Finally a maxi dress that hits the floor!
This was just long enough. With a 2 inch heel you can see my shoes... nice fit and fabric though!
This is a quality dress. The color is gorgeous and length is perfect. The fabric is very unforgiving, so I will probably need shapewear underneath to hide bulges or cellulite.
Hij had wat mij betreft nog 3/4 cm langer mogen zijn en er zit een lichte vlek/waas overheen. Niet storend genoeg om hem te retourneren. Verder is het model en de kleur prachtig!!!!
I really love the fit of this dress. The review by Lemon was really helpful for me as it really hits right just above my ankles and is a wonderful fit everywhere else. The band in the back doesn't lay too flat, but that is easy to adjust (and I know I have narrow shoulders). The V hits right above my bra strap. The orange is a nice russet color and I am looking forward to purchasing another one in black.
When writing reviews on items I purchased from long tall sally, I am lost for words because I have never be disappointed when I make any purchase. I love every item I purchase and I always get compliments from family and friends

This dress was delivered today and is fantastic so very pleased with it beautiful colour it say orange but more of a lovely soft rust colour which I am really happy with can't wait to wear it might even wait until our 50th wedding anniversary in July fits perfectly great length dresses from LTS are always great thank you
I've wanted a dress like this for ages & now i've found it. Long enough but not dragging on the floor so can wear with flats or trainers. Ideal 'dress up or down' dress & I can't wait to wear it in the warmer weather !
I really don´t understand the negative comments about clothes being too long!? There are thousand of places to buy clothes, but LTS is for TALL girls, so if clothes are too long, please don´t complaint - its a luxury thing - really! For us who are super tall - I myself is 1.96 cm - it is wonderful and a luxury problem if things are too big or long. To finally buy clothes which is long enough is a sheer pleasure. So please LTS - keep up the good work and keep it superlong!
I am 6ft 1" and it fits me perfectly. I am thrilled to have a cute maxi dress that actually hits the floor...it does not drag at all for me. I couldn't be more excited! A huge winner in my closet!
This dress is just what I wanted and it fits well but the hem gathers in folds on the floor. I'm 6ft and would have to take it up at least 6 inches (probably more) for it to be wearable. I don't feel like getting the sewing machine out so it goes back.

Your gallbladder is fine: Mumbai hospital tells woman who doesn't have one
A German national Teresa Poehlmann who underwent some tests at the Holy Family Hospital in Bandra, Mumbai following acute pain in the abdomen, was left shocked with the results
Representational pic
A German national Teresa Poehlmann who underwent some tests at the Holy Family Hospital in Bandra following acute pain in the abdomen, was left shocked with the results.
According to a story in Mumbai Mirror, the reports mentioned that her gallbladder was fine. However, the problem with that was that the woman did not have a gallbladder as she had undergone a surgery to remove the same eight years ago. Poehlmann (33) informed the same to the doctors who then, rather strangely, prescribed her medicines to remove gallbladder stones.
The Mumbai Mirror report added that the hospital issued Poehlmann an apology while the latter filed a complaint with the Maharashtra Medical Council. "I checked into the Holy Family Hospital on November 23 after experiencing a sudden, unbearable pain in the abdomen. I was attended to by Dr Bryan Sodder, who recommended that I get admitted as he suspected kidney stones or a pancreatic inflation. After a series of tests, including an ultra-sonography, they told me my gallbladder was functioning fine and I was like, 'where did you find one?," Poehlmann told Mumbai Mirror.
Poehlmann's gallbladder had been taken out in a German hospital after stones had formed in it. "I had told them at the time of admission that I didn't have a gallbladder. It was mentioned while they noted down my medical history. Despite this, they prescribed medicines to remove gallbladder stones. I was so scared, I took discharge despite doctors trying to convince me to stay," she further told the paper.
The Mumbai Mirror report further said that the goof-up was the result of a printing problem. "The print report was pre-formatted and they didn't not remove the gallbladder part from the paragraph," the hospital note read.
Dr Armida Fernandez, the hospital's medical director told Mumbai Mirror, "After the patient complained, I personally inquired and found that the error was made by a clerk in the Imaging Department. All our reports are printed on preformatted sheets and the clerk should have removed the mention of gallbladder. We immediately rectified the error and issued a fresh report. There is no question of wrong medication as the patient took discharge from the hospital even before the treatment could start. It was a human error, and we ensure best possible treatment for all our patients."

Inspired By The Sea, We Fused Humans And Corals Together
Taking inspiration from the sea, we decided to fuse the human form and coral together in a portrait series.
Each piece is a unique take on a family of three. The pieces delve into the awkward nature of portraits with stares that leave one uncomfortable. We used a combination of still photography, 3D rendering, and photo manipulation to achieve the final effect.

Fermilab workers welcome new director
Fermilab's new director, Nigel Lockyer, opened with a few jokes Friday morning to set the audience at ease at his introductory all-hands meeting.
The Scot-Canadian told them they should not expect to see him in a kilt or eatting haggis, said somebody had asked him to put a Tim Horton's doughnut shop in the Wilson Hall atrium, and chided a worker who had given him a Chicago Blackhawks hockey puck that reminded him that the Blackhawks beat the Vancouver Canucks in the 2010 playoffs.
"And now I'm your boss," Lockyer said.
Of course, he had a serious message: He wants to make sure the nation's flagship particle-physics accelerator laboratory continues to be relevant, offering the most interesting experiments that will attract the best young minds.
But unlike the days when it was the rock star of the particle physics world because of the Tevatron accelerator, Fermilab also needs to work more with others.
"Fermilab is a member of the world community, and we must strengthen that partnership," he said.
While it seems to appear the International Linear Collider is likely to end up in Japan, he noted the Japanese physics community does not have the "in-house" expertise to build it, like Fermilab does. "so they will be looking to us for help with that machine," he said.
Audience members also asked him about several experiments and projects including Project X. That's a proposed proton accelerator that the lab has hoped to start building in 2016, to facilitate research on the intensity frontier of high-energy particle physics.
Lockyer then talked about the balance between Fermilab-based experiments versus those headquartered in other countries.
"We can't do everything. So the question is, where do we trade off? There will have to be some choices," he said.
And some of those choices may become clearer soon, based on data produced by the relatively new Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Fermilab may have to be more "nimble" for a few years, he said.
"One of the things I like to say is the LHC is going to have another run and if they find something new _ and something new is something unexpected _ that may give us some signal of where the future is going to be," he said.
Lockyer has been to Fermilab before. He did research at the Collider Detector at Fermliab and was the CDF experiment's co-spokesman from 2002 through 2004. He was a guest scientist from 2002 until 2005, co-head of CDF operations and guest scientist in 2001 and 2002, and a visiting scientist in the summers of 1987 and 1988.
He replaces Pier Oddone, who stepped down June 30. Oddone had been director since 2005.

Teaching Philosophy in Brief
To me, education in anthropology is eminently grounded in human interactions. As academic anthropologists, our research is dependent on being able to engage with people whose life experiences may differ greatly from our own. Likewise, one of the most valuable skills an undergraduate education in anthropology can offer students is the ability to understand and explain diverse cultural practices, including their own. Furthermore, students in an anthropology classroom learn to communicate complex ideas about culture and society across a variety of genres and mediums. Finally, anthropology students are able to collaborate with people from a range of social, cultural, and disciplinary backgrounds. I believe the tools and skills students gain in an anthropology classroom are applicable to any career they may pursue, and are also an essential part of becoming a compassionate and responsible citizen of the world.
Courses Taught:
• History of Anthropology II ~ Historia de la antropología II
• Nutrition and Evolution ~ Biological Anthropology 364
Courses Designed:
• Peoples and Cultures of Latin America
• Digital Media and Human Connections

This was a bilingual English and Spanish course taught to 27 senior anthropology majors at a small private university in Guatemala.
Course Description: This class builds upon the historical and theoretical foundations established in Historia de Antropología I. The purpose of the class is to explore how the field of Anthropology has changed and developed since roughly the 1950s, including shifts in goals, theoretical foci, methods, and ethics. The weekly themes and reading assignments are meant to build on one another, showing how ideas within the field of Anthropology are in a constant state of reuse and reinvention. While the focus of the course is on the history of anthropological theory, theoretical texts are paired with ethnographic examples in order to demonstrate the connections between history, theory, and practice.
Graduate Student Instructor. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. January- April 2008.
I directed lab and discussion sections for 75 sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduates as part of a 300-student lecture course in biological anthropology.
Lab Description: This lab section is designed to supplement the lecture component of Anthrbio 364: Nutrition and Evolution. In lab sections, students will be expected to complete classwork and exercises involving the collection and analysis of nutritional and anthropometric data using methods employed by anthropologists in the field. In addition, review sessions will be held during lab sections in the week prior to each exam. Each student will be required to regularly turn in classwork and exercises over the course of the semester. Classwork and lab exercises will be counted as part of your lab grade.
This course was planned as a sophomore-level introduction to Latin American culture and politics, and was designed specifically to be cross-listed as a foreign language and/or history elective.
Course Description: This course is an anthropological introduction to Latin America. The Latin American region is vast and culturally diverse, covering an area that includes more than twenty countries, each with its own historical distinctions and cultural groups. While many Latin American countries have experienced colonial oppression, internal conflict, and economic inequality, recent social movements focused on cultural, political, and environmental issues have generated new ideas and conversations about the future of the region. This course will explore the range of contemporary cultural and political issues raised by these social movements, how they relate to Latin American history, and their potential impacts on the future. Topics will include national histories and their impact on present-day politics; the cultural and linguistic diversity of the region; universal human and indigenous rights; the roles of digital media, art, video, clothing, and other aesthetic or performative media in politics; economic development and environmental concerns; the changing political and cultural relationship between Latin America and the United States. We will focus particularly on Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. Students will gain historical, socio-cultural, and political perspectives on contemporary Latin America though ethnographic texts, films, multi-media materials, class lectures, and class discussions.
This course was planned as a sophomore, junior, and senior-level elective in anthropology, focusing on anthropological approaches to digital media.
Course Description: We increasingly use digital devices to connect with other people, sharing ideas, learning a new skill, or just hanging out. To catch up with your friends you could send a text message or post a status update. You might decide what to eat tonight or who to vote for based on your favorite blogger's latest entry. And your next tweet may be of critical political importance, or just plain hilarious (or both). Digital media are everywhere, and we tend to think of them as a universal element of daily life. But do all people experience digital media in the same ways?
Digital media, like all media and technologies, are culturally- situated. Therefore, while digital media seem ubiquitous and are indeed a global phenomenon, people in different cultures think of them and use them in different ways. We will discuss examples from around the world in order to explore digital media from an anthropological perspective.
This class will explore questions such as: Are our digital devices really changing the way we connect and interact with our social worlds? Are these digital media replacing "analog" print, film, or face-to-face communications? What impacts have digital technologies had on the way we conceptualize political organizing, national security, and personal privacy?

The Swedish passenger ship Stockholm and the Italian passenger ship Andrea Doria collided on the edge of a heavy fog bank off Nantucket on 25 July 1956.
The Andrea Doria sank several hours after the collision, but not before 1,660 passengers and crew were rescued.
There were 46 deaths. While the exact cause of the casualty has never been determined, it appears to have been a "radar-assisted" collision, with the officers of the watch on both vessels misinterpreting the radar images and taking the wrong actions.
The wreck of the Andrea Doria has become a popular, though notorious, destination for deep-sea divers. The Stockholm was rebuilt following the collision. It has gone through a number of owners and names and sailed for many years as the cruise ship MV Athena. On 3 December 2008, it was attacked by pirates while transiting the Gulf of Aden, but was able…

Solar energy process technology developments to watch
By Don Rosato
System considerations such as reliability, overall energy production rate and competitiveness in the Levelized Cost of Energy, or LCOE, are dominating solar energy maturation as subsidized manufacturing is replaced by true grid parity. While the biggest photovoltaic producers of today push to optimize manufacturing and output, their fortunes could change sharply if a new kid on the block with a technology that dramatically cuts PV production costs and ramps up cell performance proves to be scalable. Globally, the solar industry is experiencing a period of heavy consolidation and international trade wars.

Effect of kaolin and calcined kaolin loading on styrene butadiene rubber composites
SPE Plastics Research Online
Raw elastomers (elastic polymers) have poor thermal and mechanical properties that need to be enhanced to increase the abrasion and tensile strength of rubber goods, especially tires. To do this, the rubber matrix is frequently compounded with particulate fillers. In recent years, interest in alternative, environmentally friendly, and cheap mineral fillers, such as clays, has increased.

Reshoring gives a boost to US manufacturers
Plastics News
Reshoring has added more than 100,000 jobs in the U.S. in the last three years — and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. That's the word from Harry Moser, founder of the Kildeer, Ill.-based Reshoring Initiative. Moser spoke recently at the Plastics News Executive Forum in Wesley Chapel. Since 2000, unit labor costs in the U.S. have roughly been flat, while those costs have increased rapidly in China. China's costs have increased at a compounded annual rate of 18 percent vs. an increase of 2 percent in the U.S. The U.S. increase also was matched by a similar increase in productivity.

Bodies and Shadows: Caravaggio and His Legacy
November 11, 2012–February 10, 2013
5905 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90036
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Bodies and Shadows: Caravaggio and His Legacy, an exhibition devoted to the legacy of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), one of the most influential painters in history. The exhibition was co-organized by LACMA, the Musée Fabre, Montpellier, the Musée des Augustins, Toulouse, and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art under the auspices of FRAME (French Regional American Museum Exchange), an international consortium to which all four museums belong.
Many of the innovations introduced by Caravaggio were adopted by painters from different countries, backgrounds, and influences. Bodies and Shadows: Caravaggio and His Legacy features an unprecedented eight paintings by Caravaggio himself that will be shown together for the first time in California. Fifty more paintings document his influence on a host of painters from France, Spain, and the Netherlands, including Georges de La Tour, Gerrit van Honthorst, Velázquez, and Simon Vouet.
Bodies and Shadows: Caravaggio and His Legacy first opened simultaneously in two French venues: the Musée Fabre in Montpellier and the Musée des Augustins, Toulouse (June 23–October 14, 2012). Following LACMA's presentation, an edited version of the exhibition will travel to the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (March 8–June 15, 2013).
About the exhibition
By the time of his death in 1610, Caravaggio was arguably the most renowned artist in Rome. This exhibition brings together a large group of artists who worked predominantly after Caravaggio's death, carrying his legacy in different directions. While united under Caravaggio's aesthetic influence, these artists were highly original in their own rights and were recognized for their immense talent and individuality, in particular Orazio Gentileschi, Giovanni Baglione, and Carlo Saraceni in particular.
Attention is devoted to Bartolomeo Manfredi, who, developing subjects and compositional devices typical of Caravaggio, elaborated a style that became particularly seminal amongst French painters in Rome. Simon Vouet, the most famous of those artists, kept working in the light of Caravaggio until his return from Rome to Paris in 1627. Night scenes, brilliantly illuminated, were the specialty of Dutch Caravaggesque artists Gerrit van Honthorst and Matthias Stomer. Caravaggio's stay in Naples left important works, admired by many artists, in the city, which resulted in a typically Neapolitan Caravaggist school fed by the example of Jusepe de Ribera, a Spaniard based in Naples whose role in disseminating Caravaggio's style was as important in Naples as Manfredi's had been in Rome. Paintings by both Zurbarán and Velázquez, two of the greatest Spanish painters of the seventeenth century, demonstrate that even in faraway Seville, the lesson of the master was not ignored. The exhibition concludes with the work of George de La Tour, the enigmatic artist from Lorraine whose subjects and aesthetic elements seem to suggest an inevitable encounter with the work of Caravaggio. Yet the painter never went to Italy and how he could have known of Caravaggio's works in his native Lorraine remains conjectural.
This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Musée Fabre de Montpellier Agglomération, the Musée des Augustins, Toulouse, and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, under the auspices of FRAME (French Regional American Museum Exchange).
The Los Angeles presentation was made possible by The Ahmanson Foundation.
With support from FRAME, the national tour was made possible in part by Sotheby's, the Annenberg Foundation/GRoW Annenberg, the Robert Lehman Foundation, and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, and is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
This exhibition is presented under the auspices of "2013: Year of Italian Culture."
The installation was designed by Frederick Fisher and Partners Architects.

None of us wants to address death. Just the thoughts of losing a loved one will move us to tears long before the event. Still death is inevitable for us all. So the question arises, how do we face this issue, remain strong, and allow our aging parent the dignity they deserve?
It's a tedious balancing act. As much as we'd like to assume every family is issue free, they aren't. Many families face on-going sibling rivalry, family disagreement, and long histories of conflict. Add in the reality of an aging parent facing death, and the frustration only escalates.
Sadly enough, family conflict will sometimes outweigh the feelings and needs of the loved one. The resolution of family disagreement may never happen, but it can be laid to the side for a short time.
According to studies done from the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, terminal patients recognize end-of-life symptoms long before their passing. Though they have no idea when their passing will occur, many will begin to make preparations such as:
* Will preparations
* Family discussion on funeral arrangements
* Distribution of meaningful belongings
* Final conversations
* Reminiscing
It's not uncommon to have grandma begin to distribute belongings she holds dear to unsuspecting recipients. It's important to remember, that though an ugly vase grandma kept on her dining room table may have no meaning to you, there is a special memory tied to it for grandma. She may never share the memory, or she may not know how to express the meaning, but to her, the vase you consider ugly . . . is beautiful and it means enough to her that she longs to share it with a loved one. When grandma offers the vase, accept it with love and joy. Show her the gratitude she deserves by allowing her the happiness of accepting it graciously. It's not about you – it's about her. If she is able, you may be surprised by the meaning and even more surprised if the object you've thought so ugly in the past, acquires a new meaning you now enjoy.
Listen to their stories even if you've heard them a hundred times. Listen closely for the details that may have passed over unwilling ears earlier. This is the legacy of your loved one. It's history. It's memories that, once the loved one is gone, you will cherish.
Find forgiveness. Perhaps you've been at odds with your loved one. For lack of better words, death is final. It's irreversible. It was once said, "Regret is a horrible bedfellow." The truth in this is overwhelming. There is no disagreement worth a lifetime of regret. Take time, if for no one other than yourself and your own future, to make amends. For example: a mother lost her estranged daughter in a car accident, her last memory was an argument three years earlier. As the daughter was laid to rest, all her mother could remember was three valuable years lost over bitter words.
The same thought process should be applied to learning to say I love you. Perhaps it's not commonplace for these emotions to be exhibited, but when you're approached by an aging parent who declares their love for you, return the courtesy. Your acceptance and gentle response, even if it is not your nature, will give peace and closure to a loved one facing their final months, weeks, or days. Once again, it's not about you (though you will benefit), it's about the loved one.
Family discussion over finances, wills, and personal effects can become heated and unfortunately no family, whether they are wealthy or poor, are immune to greed. If your family disagrees over possessions, make the effort to suspend those while your loved one works through the acceptance of their future. Despite the argument, allow your loved one to see a calm and peace for a short time. It's a kind act in their behalf. The life of the loved one is far greater than any possession.
What if the tables are turned and your loved one is the center of conflict? The greatest advice is apply the golden rule – treat others the way you would want to be treated. You are always the winner when you choose the high road, even when your loved one may be condescending or difficult. Keep in mind that at times the anger and frustration an aging parent experiences may be fueled by dementia or Alzheimer's. It may be spurred by disappointment in their own lives or things they have no control over – even the realization some actions of the past are unchangeable.
Ultimately we, as children, cannot repair the past of our loved ones but despite their obstinacy we can adopt an attitude of forgiveness – does it make the actions of those loved ones right? No. But in your own life, you will have peace for having "loved them anyway."
Our immortality affects us each one in a deeply personal place. We're forced to not only look ahead to the end but to look back over what has been. When your aging parent begins to make end-of-life preparations, spend quality time with them. Tell them you love them. Walk the path with them. Seek out their personal spiritual situation and guide them appropriately.
Saying goodbye is never easy but we can choose gentleness, loving ways, and understanding. The rewards for both the aging parent and for you, are immeasurable. Years after the loss, you can look back and say, "I'm glad I did," instead of "I wish I had."

I checked with Jasper and he says it's OK to write about his growth hormone treatment on the blog, which is a pretty good thing, since I'm having trouble writing about much else.
It's not like he's deformed for life, not like he's terminally ill. He isn't even sick. He's just missing this one key component which would make him grow like other boys. I'm relieved that they can say why he's been like Peter Pan, stopped in childhood.
I don't feel sorry for myself except maybe when we're driving to Rochester for yet another appointment. Those times it doesn't take long to remind myself to be grateful for the luxury to be able to make the trip and have insurance coverage. The testing and diagnosis has been involved and expensive. Insurance has paid the lion's share of it. I don't know what we would have done without coverage.
So I'm not feeling sorry for myself, but I'm occasionally startled by how jealous I am of other people's kids. Chatting with other moms, the character of some of the stories they tell has left me out. We still chuckle at misunderstandings, nod and make "awww cute" noises at the sweet things our kids do and say. But there is a new class of story I can't add anything to. These are the puberty and growth spurt stories.
The ones which get me the most worked up are the kids who are 4 years younger than Jasper. These are kids whose moms and dads carried them to the bus stop when Jasper was going to school. Kids who used to look up to Jasper literally and figuratively. He's always hung out with a mix of kids, many of them younger than he was. It never bothered me that he chose to play with younger kids. He wasn't terribly mature for his age. But when the 'little kids' started to catch up to and then tower over him, it made everything confusing and messy.When their voices changed Jasper and I both felt tricked, jilted in some way.
Lately when the parents get together- even the new with kids way younger than Jasper- when they get together and tell stories of boys outgrowing shoes and pants, and stories of younger siblings being awestruck at the new hair sprouting on their big brother or sister, I don't feel that camaraderie. I don't feel the gleeful "Isn't this a miraculous journey we're taking?" Nor do I feel the exasperation of "Isn't it a pain in the ass to have to keep buying new clothes before the old ones wear out?"
Years ago when Zach's friends went through the same thing, he was about a year behind, but he progressed steadily and it never entered into my mind that he wouldn't catch up. I remember admiring and wondering at the new broad shoulders on the boys and the breasts on the girls. It's what's supposed to happen. I chuckled at how they all carried themselves self consciously at the 6 th grade graduation ceremony. It was like someone snuck into their houses in the night and gave them these new body parts. My kid was behind, but he was on the same trajectory. All the parents had a sort of camaraderie because our kids were all doing this miraculous metamorphosis.
When the subject of puberty and growth comes up I feel slightly angry. I hate those people and their lanky or curvaceous kids. I only hate them for a little while until I remind myself that they aren't gloating, they're marveling. They're proud. I remember proud. It feels good. I still feel it when Jasper walks up and starts a conversation with a total stranger.
I remember some time around his 15th year, looking at Zach and seeing that he had man-hair on his legs and biceps which were sculpted and strong. He was awkward, but at the same time he was coming to grips with the fact that he was stronger than his mom. It made him proud, you could tell. And it made me proud for some reason I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it was along the lines of "all sorts of people make babies. That's easy. Me? I made that manly person over there. That's right. I made that. Isn't he handsome?" Whether or not it was justified, I was proud. And proud feels good.
Jealous feels bad. This new feeling is the opposite of proud, which I used to think was ashamed. It's jealous. Jealous makes me feel like a bad person, a mean person for not being able to celebrate with these other kids and their parents. It's the same feeling I had and still have some times when I see older people going about their lives. By older I mean older than my mom when she died (so not very old at all). I'm jealous that they get to be walking to the store, raking leaves or buying a newspaper. I'm jealous of one kid's hairy armpits and another's cracking voice. Jealousy by proxy?
If I feel jealous, I imagine Jasper feels the same. He's tired of being mistaken for his mom on the phone, and he'd rather we didn't discuss the latest kid to have his voice change. Sometimes after he gets together with kids he hasn't seen for a long time, he cries and storms around the house in frustration. The first thing out of the other kids' mouths is always, "JAsper! You're exactly the same! You're still short!" They're just dumb kids.
It's weird to have a medical condition that is simply the absence of something you've never had to begin with. Something you didn't even miss until everyone else got it. It's hard to know where to direct your anger. I've imagined what it would be like to never grow up. What if you could live for a long long time, but you had to stay 12 forever?
It isn't going to be that way here. We should be able to start growth hormone shots in about a week. Once they start, Jasper will probably grow very quickly, about twice as fast as a normal teenager. That works out to be 3 to 4 inches per year. We're going to set up a camera in front of a measuring tape and try to take a picture every day once he starts his treatments. Watch for it here.

- DebbieGuestDecember 1, 2016 at 3:19 pmPost count: 26275
I've found out my husband cheated on me with a woman he works with.
I found out due to her partner contacting me through Facebook. When I found out, I asked him why? He said he doesn't know why maybe for the excitement he said.
It has devastated me. I can't seem to be able to go five minutes without thinking about it. He has left that job now and wants to work it out with me. But there are days I want him to hold me and be intimate, but then I think did he hold her like this?
I know just about every detail. She has spoken to me and told me everything. He has confirmed what she told me is true.
I don't understand if he was happy why he would do this to our family?
It started the day we got back from our cruise. We had a fantastic family holiday. So I don't understand. He says he wanted it to end, but from all the messages he sent her, it didn't look like it.
This was only a couple of months ago. I wonder if I hadn't found out how long it would have continued. She told me some of the horrible things he said about me as not only a person but as a mother and wife.
These things are the hardest to get over. We have seen a counselor and spoken about it a lot. He swears he will do whatever is needed to fix it. I don't know if I will be able to.
Even after I found out, he went to stay with his friend for the night. The next day he was telling her he loved her and was telling me it was over. I just don't know what to believe. I have told him not to stay because of our daughter, as that's not fair to her or me.
I feel like such a weak person. If I have a bad day now, I try not to tell him as he always says I'm trying to prove myself to him. Although he doesn't say it, I think he thinks I should be getting over it now. But I'm not, some days I hate myself and think I can't do this, other days I think I can and want to. I'm all over the place.
This is not the first time I've been cheated on. My ex-husband also cheated and had a baby with her. I'm so hurt and confused. I don't know which way to go. I apologize this is so messed up.
I want to make her life a misery like she's done to me. She told me she wanted nothing to do with him after she spoke to me, and yet I've seen messages she's sent him stating how hurt and broken she is.
That infuriates me more (she's no victim). Any advice or guidance on how to get through this if that's at all possible would be great.
Thanks, and again I apologize that this is so messy.

This other woman has no right to contact you, Debbie. She is vicious and has no morals.
After all, she has done, she now wants to rub salt in your wounds.
It's more than that, though, because she is trying to spill you and your husband up. She knows this will drive you crazy. Don't fall for it.
Tell your husband that not only has he hurt you, but his mistress is now torturing you, and he is responsible!
Also, how can he say you should be getting over it by now? Would he get over it so quickly if you cheated? It takes time for something like this to heal. He should be much more understanding.DebbieGuestDecember 2, 2016 at 2:27 pmPost count: 26275
Thanks for replying, Fluffy Kitten. He doesn't tell me in so many words I should be getting over it, but I feel like that's what he expects when I tell him of what she's said when she contacts me.
I know she is defiantly rubbing salt in my wounds. I wish I could just somehow distance myself, but unfortunately, I can't.
I have never hated anyone as much as her. She thinks she been hard done by. I wish she would stop and leave us so that we could begin to heal.
I used to class myself as a strong person, but I don't know about that now. If only we could erase it all, but we can't. Is it normal to think you can do this and make it work, then 10 minutes later think I don't know if I can?
I've never been this hurt, not even when my first husband did it, as I could see the problems we were having. This time I've been completely blindsided. I knew absolutely nothing. I thought we were happy. He says he was happy, but that can't be true, as these not the actions of someone happy.
Thank you.Just a FriendGuestDecember 2, 2016 at 5:39 pmPost count: 26275
Walk away Debbie. I know it hurts like hell, but I swear it will get better. He will stray again, it's only a matter of time. If you stay, you will never be able to trust him and it will tear you apart.AllieGuestDecember 4, 2016 at 6:53 pmPost count: 26275
I am so sorry you have to go through such pain. I know it all too well because it happened to me.
I found numerous exploited texts and emails, in addition to lewd pictures of my husband's married lovers, female parts—no morality on either part.
Just remember it has nothing to do with you. They are insecure and have attention-seeking behavior. I did stay because of my son and the cost of his private school.
I will never trust him again or ever feel the same way about him. I am trying to better myself by going back to school because I do plan on leaving him.
They never change, and life is to short. The other woman was married also. My husband had sent her a demand and desisted letter from his attorney. I guess he wanted to look like a hero.
I am at a point where I don't care anymore. His mother recently passed away, what a piece of work she was. She told me it was my fault he cheated. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Ask yourself, do you really love him?
God Bless, my prayers are with you.JenniferGuestDecember 5, 2016 at 9:52 amPost count: 26275
You must be careful. This person has no qualms about advertising your private matters to everyone.
She sounds like an insecure, needy, sly, self-centered character.
By telling her all that has happened in your marriage, your husband is not very smart.
He views you with utter contempt and gets his narcissistic supply from her. I can tell you from experience this affair will not end.
You are not a weak person. You have the power to change things. Don't let people walk all over you—Voice out your unhappiness. Ask him if he wants a divorce? Ask him if he prefers an open marriage? These questions will make him think.
Be free, live for yourself.LoriGuestDecember 20, 2016 at 4:07 pmPost count: 26275
My dear friend's husband is pulling this garbage with her. He was trying to pin it all on the OTHER WOMAN.
The OW contacted my friend and let her know everything he was saying, how he said my friend was such a nasty controlling person that made his life miserable.
That she spent more time with the kids than him, she spent money unwisely. Her change in life during menopause was making him miserable; she never paid enough attention to him.
He wanted to leave her, but couldn't because of financial reasons. This OW knew things PRIVATE details that the only way she could have known was by him telling her point-blank. So, we know this gal wasn't making anything up.
This is not HIS 1st RODEO, either. He cheated on her when they first got married because his other "married buddies" talked him into something stupid at a bar. Immature and selfish behavior as usual.
He's ruined so many lives financially, emotionally, and sexually. He makes even Satan look bad. 99.9% of them don't change! Sorry for venting!DebbieGuestDecember 20, 2016 at 4:33 pmPost count: 26275
Lori, sorry your friend is going through this as well.
I think the hardest part is the horrible lies that they tell about you, its heart-crushing, and a load of rubbish.
I know what she told me was also the truth as she would not have to know our personal financial situation if he hadn't opened his disgusting mouth.
I still don't know what I want to do. He wants to work on us. I don't know if I can ever get over this. I hope your friend finds some peace, as I also hope to find peace as well.
I'll never understand how someone can treat there wife, the mother of their children with such contempt and nastiness. Definitely not how you treat the one you say you love more than anything.
Still completely heartbroken, it hurts.LoriGuestDecember 21, 2016 at 5:53 amPost count: 26275
So sorry to hear about all your pain Debbie and everything you have had to endure.
The sad part is this guy acts like he is a Christian and at one with God and the church, but it's all an ACT! One big song and dance.
I wonder what his excuse was when he did this years ago when they first got married, and they were both younger? What a joke. It's truly sad.
He paints himself as a saint and the poor me married man and tries to get these single, married, divorced, widowed women to fall for it and feel sorry for him.
One of the women met up with my friend at a local coffee shop to discuss matters. He was claiming he wasn't married at first, but separated and didn't even wear his ring!
Yeah, he makes it a habit of that also, every time they'd argue over $ or matters, he would take it off.
He blamed the women at work for "smelling too good" or "dressing in skirts." What a joke some of these men are. They just can't man up and be men.
If they are that miserable or want to go and cheat and have variety, man up and get divorces before messing up so many lives!
Sorry for blabbing on so much and giving so much detail, I've had the same issues in my life as well. So I know what it's like. It's a roller coaster ride from hell. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Good luck to you all!DebGuestDecember 21, 2016 at 7:06 pmPost count: 26275
Hello. I am sorry you're going through this. It's an awful feeling. I understand that he cheated on you with someone he works with.
Besides her contacting you have things changed at his job. Like hours?
Or was he once allowed to talk to you whenever he wanted and suddenly stopped because he said things changed at work?
These are things I'm experiencing with my boyfriend and want to know what signs to look for. In which mine is telling me that he can't be on the phone as much at work, but then I find out that he is on it more than I am.
But he claims he goes on and watches YouTube music videos to listen to music and sometimes watches people on sleds. I mean, he has shown me what he watched, so I don't know if it's a cover-up or just something that he really does.
But my question to him was, why would he look up different things instead of talking to me and saying he couldn't be on his phone much?
I also got into his Facebook account and saw messages between him and his one ex-wife where they were trying to meet, and this runs through my mind all of the time.
I didn't bring it up with him that I know what was said between then. But did question about then getting back together and he said he would never get back with her and so did his mom.
His mom told me that she would never get back with him. So I don't know if his mother is just on his side with this or telling me the truth.
I just don't know what to do. But is your husband saying the same stuff about things changing at work? Staying later than normal or telling you at the last minute that he is doing overtime.
Those are the stories I keep getting. And I never see his paystub to know if he is telling me the truth.TessGuestDecember 24, 2016 at 10:05 amPost count: 26275
I'm very sorry about this, Debbie. I am going through something similar, but not as hard as your situation.
I had always thought of myself as a strong woman too. I never thought I would stay with someone who betrayed me so severely.
Perhaps we really are strong women, so strong to repair a relationship after infidelity and to save love takes so much strength. Or maybe we are just weak. I don't know.
I don't think it's strange at all to flip flop so much on whether things can be fixed. I know I do.AliciaGuestDecember 24, 2016 at 10:08 amPost count: 26275
I can sympathize with your heartache. I can tell you time will heal your heart. However trust comes back very slowly. Hopefully you will not be bitter and have resentment.
The choice is yours to make. Only you know the right decision. You know your own truth.
Life is short; maybe if it were longer it would all be different.
God Bless.

High quality polymer based integrating spheres for low average power applications in the visible and near infrared.
The high reflectivity and lambertian diffusivity of the polymer we use ensures wide band efficiency over the full range of 250-2500nm.
These integrating spheres can be used for optical power measurement as well as beam homogenization for accurate spectral analysis. The 100mm sphere exhibits a homogeneity of better than 1% at the 25mm port when illuminated through the side (fibre) ports.
The 10mm and 20mm spheres feature an integrated photodiode (choice of UV-Silicon, VIS-enhanced InGaAs or Germanium) for optical power measurement, as well as an SMA fibre port for auxiliary functions such as spectral analysis. Both outputs are located on the back side of the device. These spheres are calibrated and are compatible with our OPM150 series of optical power meter.
The 50mm and 100mm spheres have modular ports with choice of SMA and FC fibre receptacles or photodiode (choice of UV-Silicon, VIS-enhanced InGaAs, Germanium and IR-extended InGaAs). These spheres may be calibrated upon request. The photodiode port may be terminated with a BNC or SMA receptacle or with our OPM150 connector. Using the OPM150 connector, the integrating sphere is compatible with our OPM150 series of optical power meter.
