If you want to have the meanest, baddest, highest-horsepower stallion allowed in the Ferrari Historic paddock, here it is
The F40 was a simple machine that, like the greatest Ferraris of the past, relied upon its engine for its performance. Suspension and layout were conventional, and there were no serious attempts to employ cutting-edge technology. The F40 was good, sound, basic design, with a superb twin-turbocharged engine, aerodynamics heavily weighted toward downforce and stability, and generous use of lightweight composite materials. There was no ABS, no traction control, no electro-hydraulic paddle shifting, and no stability control. With a 201 mph top speed and 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds, no one was disappointed with the F40. Ferrari proposed only a limited run of 400 or so F40s, but the model's reception was overwhelming, even at over $250,000 apiece, and the run kept growing until 1,315 were built by the time production ended in 1991.
Competition was not in Ferrari's original plan for the F40, but Daniel Marin, managing director of French Ferrari importer Charles Pozzi SA, took the initiative and authorized Michelotto, the famed Padova Ferrari service center, to construct a series of F40 LMs for racing under IMSA rules in the U.S. Just 19 were built, although only the first two, destined for Pozzi, were actually raced to any significant extent.
Do not confuse this F40 LM with a "plain vanilla" customer version. Chassis 79891 is the second of the two Pozzi F40 LMs. Records show it was completed by Michelotto on January 16, 1990. Although it was raced in North America that season by Pozzi under the Ferrari-France banner along with its sister, chassis 79890, it remained under Ferrari's ownership and wasn't formally delivered to Pozzi until January 1991. As a factory-backed development car, it benefits from a series of enhancements and upgrades, including titanium connecting rods and 9:1 compression pistons, giving its twin-turbocharged, intercooled engine a breathtaking 850 horsepower at 7,500 rpm. That translates to a top speed of 228 mph.
Ferrari F40 LM 79891 was retained by Ch. Pozzi SA until its present owner was able to acquire it in 2003. Throughout its life, 79891 has been carefully and consistently maintained in as-raced condition. It retains its original F120B engine (number 02), was certified authentic by Ferrari Classiche in March 2007, and has its FIA identity papers. It is eligible for, and competitive in, a variety of historic and Ferrari events, and its status as one of the original run of factory-built Ferrari F40 LMs means it is one of very few of these exciting automobiles that will ever be eligible for Ferrari Classiche certification and, as of the 2009 race season, participation in the Ferrari-Maserati Challenge series, where it should shine.

Sandra Bullock loves being mum to Louis
Sandra Bullock says her adopted son Louis makes her "so happy" that he has become a priority over her Hollywood career
Sandra Bullock says her adopted son Louis makes her "so happy" that he has become a priority over her Hollywood career.
The 47-year-old seemed to be elated when she collected an Oscar for her role in 'The Blind Side' in February 2010 with husband of five years Jesse James by her side.
But weeks later she was shattered when it was revealed that Jesse had been having an affair with tattooed glamour model Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
The story then took an unexpected turn when it emerged that Sandra had become a single mother to a baby son Louis, whom the pair had planned to raise together.
Bullock, however, maintained that the joy of becoming a mother overshadowed her heartbreak and acting is no longer her primary concern. "I wasn't thinking about any of that," the Daily Express quoted her as saying.
"I was just so happy being a mum - I'm still very happy being a mum. That just shifted and became my full priority. I love Louis and I love how he has changed my life for the better," she added.

The Sisters Of Mercy Announce New Boxset
Christian Eede
, July 12th, 2017 16:27
The boxset shines a light on the group's early years
The Sisters Of Mercy have announced details of a new boxset, entitled Some Girls Wander By Mistake.
The boxset, set for release on September 1, on 180-gram vinyl and digitally shines a light on the band's early years collecting singles, EPs and more across four records.
Some Girls Wander By Mistakes, which shares a title with a 1992 collection from the band which compiled music across a double-LP, also looks at the band's last officially released studio recordings in addition to their earlier material. All of the music featured will be remastered and includes three songs the group originally issued on their own Merciful Release imprint in 1980: 'The Damage Done', 'Watch', and 'Home Of The Hit-Men'. Also featured is the band's 1982 follow-up single: 'Body Electric' and 'Adrenochrome'.
The boxset is arranged in non-chronological order and begins with all four tracks from the band's first 12" EP Alice, and features tracks from their second, The Reptile House, on the flipside. Also featured on the boxset are further early singles followed by their final recorded material released in 1992 and 1993.
You can also find out about the band's European tour plans for the summer, including two headline shows at London's Roundhouse on September 1 and 2 here.

Neutrasafe Corporation manufactures condensate neutralizers and a system feeder for the HVAC industry. With more than 30 years of industry experience as a Master Plumber, Mike Bernasconi recognized an opportunity to design a condensate neutralizer superior to any other product available in the marketplace. In 2011, Mike and Dottie Bernasconi established Neutrasafe Corporation, which is currently located in Stoughton, MA. Mike and Dottie say that all of Neutrasafe's products are designed with the contractor in mind.
I knew that I could design a condensate neutralizer that performed better than any other on the market. That is why I launched Neutrasafe. The innovative features of our Neutra-Safe condensate neutralizers set them apart from our competition. And we recently introduced a Neutra-Safe system feeder that will surpass other glycol feeders in the industry.
In 2016, I joined Mike full time to help run NeutraSafe. The business skills that I acquired during many years in the healthcare insurance industry compliment Mike's engineering and design expertise and allow us to build the business together.

The Thorns in Life
I received this great email that I wanted to share.
Sandra felt as low as the heels of her Birkenstocks as she pushed against a November gust and the florist shop door. Her life had been easy, like spring breeze. Then in the fourth month of her second pregnancy, a minor automobile accident stole her ease. During this Thanksgiving week she would have delivered a son. She grieved over her loss. As if that weren't enough, her husband's company threatened a transfer. Then her sister, whose holiday visit she coveted, called saying she could not come.
Thanksgiving? Thankful for what? She wondered. For a careless driver whose truck was hardly scratched when he rear-ended her? For an air bag that saved her life but took that of her child?
"Good afternoon, may I help you?" The shop clerk's approach startled her. "I….I need an arrangement," stammered Sandra. "For Thanksgiving?
Do you want beautiful but ordinary, or would you like to challenge the day with a favorite I call the Thanksgiving "Special?" asked the shop clerk. "I'm convinced that flowers tell stories," she continued. "Are you looking for something that conveys 'gratitude' this Thanksgiving?" "Not exactly!" Sandra blurted out. "In the last five months, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong." Sandra regretted her outburst, and was surprised when the shop clerk said, "I have the perfect arrangement for you."
Then the door's small bell rang, and the shop clerk said, "Hi, Barbara…let me get your order." She politely excused herself and walked toward a small workroom, then quickly reappeared, carrying an arrangement of greenery, bows, and long-stemmed thorny roses; Except the ends of the rose stems were neatly snipped: there were no flowers.
"Want this in a box?" asked the clerk. Sandra watched for the customer's response. Was this a joke? Who would want rose stems with no flowers! She waited for laughter, but neither woman laughed. "Yes, please," Barbara replied with an appreciative smile. "You'd think after three years of getting the special, I wouldn't be so moved by its significance, but I can feel it right here, all over again," she said as she gently tapped her chest.
"Uh," stammered Sandra, "that lady just left with, uh….she just left with no flowers!" "Right, said the clerk, "I cut off the flowers. That's the Special. I call it the Thanksgiving Thorns Bouquet."
"Oh, come on, you can't tell me someone is willing to pay for that!" exclaimed Sandra.
Barbara came into the shop three years ago feeling much like you feel today," explained the clerk. "She thought she had very little to be thankful for. She had lost her father to cancer, the family business was failing, her son was into drugs, and she was facing major surgery.
That same year I had lost my husband," continued the clerk, "and for the first time in my life, had just spent the holidays alone. I had no children, no husband, no family nearby, and too great a debt to allow any travel."
"So what did you do?" asked Sandra. "I learned to be thankful for thorns," answered the clerk quietly. "I've always thanked God for good things in life and never to ask Him why those good things happened to me, but when bad stuff hit, did I ever ask! It took time for me to learn that dark times are important. I have always enjoyed the 'flowers' of life, but it took thorns to show me the beauty of God's comfort.
Sandra sucked in her breath, "I guess the truth is I don't want comfort. I've lost a baby and I'm angry with God. I don't know if I can be thankful for the thorns in my life," Sandra said to the clerk. "It's all too…fresh."
"Well," the clerk replied carefully, "my experience has shown me that thorns make roses more precious.
Tears rolled down Sandra's cheeks. For the first time since the accident, she loosened her grip on resentment. "I'll take those twelve long-stemmed thorns, please," she managed to choke out.
"I hoped you would," said the clerk gently. "I'll have them ready in a minute."
"Thank you. What do I owe you?" Sarah asked. "Nothing; nothing but a promise to allow your heart to heal and to be grateful for the thorns.

It has almost been two months since I last posted! This is terribly unfortunate, and I apologize greatly for my absence.
Things have been going well. I can't even say I've really been that terribly busy, I just am in senioritis mode hardcore. I really don't want to do work; ever really. I just want to sleep and eat and watch TV. It's much worse than when I was a senior is high school. I'm getting mostly everything done; every once in a while something slips through the cracks that I cannot bring myself to actually do, but I'm getting through I suppose.
I went to the health center on campus for something last week, and they weigh you when you go in. I was wicked nervous, anticipating weight gain supreme since I've come back to school. I've only gained twoish pounds! I was very happy to see that. My thoughts towards food have definitely gotten better since the semester began, but I still constantly worry about gaining the weight back.
Steve and I are coming up on three months! Every moment I spend with him is amazing, and every moment we're apart I miss him. I am falling for this boy, growing closer to him every day even when I'm not with him. He makes me so happy, and I can't even describe how lucky I am to have him in my life. He is showing me so many things about the world, about myself. He probably doesn't even realize it, either. I'm learning how I should be treated; how special I am, which is something that I seriously thought I would never say. Overall, he is just wonderful. Mmmmm. :)
It's only October, but I'm already starting to get pumped for Christmas. I'm already planning out what I want to get people, bake, etc. I absolutely love Christmas season.. the baking, the clay ornament making, the music. I'm currently planning out a Christmas album for this season.. I haven't recording Christmas music since 2009, so I think it's about time to do some of that. It will hopefully feature some guest artists as well, various friends and even a couple that I don't really know. I'm actually really excited about it!
This weekend I'll be going to Brighton again for Halloween festivities; Steve and I are both wearing military garb as well as some other friends. We're all gonna look awesome walking around together. I'm wicked excited for it.
Emmaus is coming up! Ten days, I believe, is the count now. We have an amazing fifteen candidates, which is absolutely ridiculous. I don't remember the last time we had a weekend that large. It's the 30th anniversary weekend, too, so it's going to be awesome. I finally ordered an Emmaus hoodie, and it's at my house waiting for me. I cannot wait to wear it.. I've wanted one of those for years. I can't wait for Emmaus.. I really need it this year. My neighbor is going to be a candidate, and my cousin is working on team for the first time. This will be the first weekend at which I will have biological family. While over the years I have considered the Emmaus community my family, without question they are, it'll be really cool to have actual blood family on the weekend. I've always been one of those orphans.
I love that the fall weather is finally here; I've been waiting for the cold. The only problem this year is that since I lost so much weight, none of my winter clothes fit! Everything is so big on me. I wish I had more funding to go buy some new clothes. I suppose belts will just have to do for now.
I really miss baking. I did so much of it this summer, that now I'm kinda going into withdrawl. There are so many amazing recipes I've discovered via Stumbleupon, and I want to try them so badly. I think I'm going to do a lot of baking once I get home for Christmas.
I still miss my little boy wicked badly. His mom sent me a link for their online photo album, and he not only got a little haircut but his new aupere is there now. He has grown so much! I sent him a little KSC t-shirt, which I thought would be ginormous on him, but it fits him perfectly! I'm going to try and see him over Thanksgiving break. I cannot wait to see him, but I must admit I'm nervous he won't remember me. He's so little still, afterall, and now that Edna is there and he seems to really like her, it'll probably be really difficult for me if he won't come to me or anything... I'm gonna miss that.
I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do once I graduate. I know I want to try and move to the Boston area still, but what I will do there is still up in the air. I suppose it's just scary to think about trying to get into the children's theatre industry; it's so narrow especially since I don't have a degree in theater. However, my resume regarding children's theater is somewhat impressive for my age, so hopefully that will work in my favor.
I don't go to counseling anymore. I decided to stop; I found myself really struggling to find things that were sufficient enough to talk about. I think a lot of what needed to be discussed revolved around the fact that I'm changing a lot as a person and the catalysts of these changes. I needed to talk about the stuff with Tim and how hurt I was by all of that. It's been amazing to find out all these things from various people now that I'm back in school... the information that I missed along the way is purely shocking. It's sad that I was so head over heels in love with him and I was so blinded by that that I allowed myself to be treated like shit and didn't even realize it.
What's great is that now that I'm with Steve, I have found a balance. I am not constantly giving of myself to please him, but balancing him into my life; there is give and take instead of just give. We communicate beautifully, he makes me happy, I don't obsess over him.
I was just telling a friend today how I finally am at a place in my life where I feel as though I am allowing myself to be the person I want to be; the person I feel as though I've stifled for years. I feel as though things are finally starting to go right.

In every community, eating brings people together in celebration. We are particularly good at this in India. Celebrations generally have food right in the middle of them, leaving us all thoroughly sated and burping gently (considered a courteous gesture). And here in London, there is no greater occasion to celebrate with a feast than Christmas.
We get very excited about this time of year. Our Bombay Christmas feasts are honestly some of the best food and drink we ever do. Chai Egg Nog (really!). Old-Fashioneds. A whole turkey leg, prepared in the traditional Indian raan style, cooked slowly over a day until meltingly tender, served with a spicy cranberry chutney. And finishing off with an indulgent Cognac Chai…
Our Christmas feasts bring large groups together, dining from thaals (large communal plates) laden with food. Small Plates, Grills, Biryanis and slow-cooked Turkey Raan are shared by everyone at the table, enhancing the warmth that brings you all together for a meal.
So, if you'd like to make your friends, family or colleagues very happy, have a look at our feasting menus (or winter feasting menus) and drop us a line!

AKT Health and Wellness Coach, Safia Morsly-Fikai, shares one of her favorite quick and easy detox salad recipes, just in time for Memorial Day weekend.
- 2 cups arugula or greens of your choice (dandelion, watercress, and endive are great for spring detoxing)
- 1⁄2 cup red onions, sliced thin 1 cucumber, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup carrot, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup radish, sliced thin
- 1 avocado, cubed
- Juice from one lemon
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
- 1⁄4 cup of sunflower seeds
- Chop vegetables and mix in a large bowl.
- Top salad with avocado and sunflower seeds.
- Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper
Radish – Radishes are a natural cleansing agent for the digestive system, helping to break down and eliminate stagnant food and toxins built up over time.
Carrots – Carrots contain beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that gives them their bright orange color. Beta-carotene is absorbed in the intestine and converted into vitamin A during digestion. They also contain fiber, vitamin K, potassium, folate, manganese, phosphorous, magnesium, vitamin E, and zinc. Increased intake of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables reduce cancer and cardiovascular disease risks.

Well I am the manager of a metal shop in a major art school.
I run Miller and Lincoln welders and plasma cutters. These machines are put through their paces run by some of the biggest idiots you could find.
If any company wants to test equipment out i'll put it in the shop and these kids will destroy it.
When i was a kid i saved my paper route money and bought a welder.
I knew nothing about them and read no literature but bought a Miller due to the fact that most of the guys riding in trucks that had that big welder generator in the back,(professional) it was BLUE, plus lincoln was sold in HOME DEPOT and Sears.
Miller was sold in welding shops.
Since then my boss thinks i'm a miller rep. The millers we have (10 years old) Have had zero problems! the lincolns get rebuilt on a usual basis. plus my little childhood purchase welds as good today as it did then.
But I want one of these nifty inverter welders!
I phoned Miller and asked them why are these 40lb welders were $4000.00 and a 238lb welder $2000.00
they told me the engineering cost. but it would come down in time. that was 4 years ago!
In all honesty it costs farr less to build a p.c. welder than all that copper. miller is GREEDY. they know its what you want and they get the price. END OF STORY
Now miller comes out with this DIversion.
It looks like a toy I would buy an everlast before that thing. plus our new Miller plasma just crapped out witch makes me wonder? plus i see alot of maxstar welders in the repair shop at my local supplier.
Good for these little chinese welders. I hope it can get millers price down. I want a Miller but these everlast welders look better and better.
In short I have American welders that suck. My Miller loyalty is faining and I want a welder?
Mabe ESAB? there 500.00 cheeper and made in Sweden (the new ones are I called) and by the way Miller and Lincoln are #2 in the game the BEST Welders are Panasonic Yep Panasonic look em up super high $$$ though. any one could help me in my decision let me know.
Miller NEEDs to drop the price competition will only help. hell Brideport Milling machines are made in china now. there still the best.

Building Codes - Information & Updates
The Florida Building Code 5th Edition (2014) went into effect on Tuesday June 30, 2015. While the majority of the code is currently being enforced, some questions exist surrounding the enforcement of new energy requirements with regard to replacement windows and doors and the "30% Rule". The specific question requiring clarification is, "When I replace windows in a home and spend less than 30% of the assessed value of the property, do I need to meet the minimum U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient requirements in the Florida Energy Code."
Florida's Energy Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has reviewed the question, but has not yet come to a decision. A declaratory statement, which seeks to clarify the above question, has been filed with the Florida Building Commission. The Energy TAC will reconvene on September 25th and the issue will go before the Florida Building Commission at the October 14 meeting. As we gain additional information, we will continue to provide updates on this important matter.
Update: On September 18, 2015, The declaratory statement was withdrawn. A request has been made to the Florida Building Commission to form a working group, that will allow all stakeholders to come together to clarify and gain uniform consensus on replacement fenestration. Enforcement of the energy code will continue to be determined by each jurisdiction until the work group comes to a decision and gains approval from the Energy Technical Advisory Committee and the Florida Building Commission. We do not expect a resolution and uniformity to commence until mid-2016 or later.
All of PGT's NOA's are fully updated and Approved by Miami Dade County to the new code. Current NOA documents can be found on our Product Approvals and Certifications page.

Michael Schumacher driving for Mercedes GP during a practices session in Bahrain, 2010. Photo credit: Andrew Griffith
FIA, Formula 1's governing body, has confirmed that the Bahrain Grand Prix will go ahead on 22 April. The decision comes after much speculation about the event in the Gulf state, in which civil unrest has continued since protests in February 2011. Pro-democracy activists in Bahrain have called for the high-profile sporting event to be cancelled as it was last year. The BBC noted that the lucrative GP is closely tied with the ruling royal family, who are being pressured to improve human rights and make reforms by the majority Shia population, who accuse the minority ruling Sunnis of discrimination.
F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone rejected claims that holding the event represents an unnecessary security risk. In an interview with the BBC, he said, "I've never heard anything that would lead me to believe it isn't [safe]. People who live there and work there on a daily basis tell me everything's normal. Things can change anywhere anytime, but I don't imagine it will. I'd be very surprised if we have problems." "They're not protesting about F1," insisted Ecclestone. "If we didn't go, whatever problems there are … would they stop Monday morning? The answer's no."
GP should be scrapped. An editorial in The Times (£) called for the race to be scrapped. The newspaper argued that Ecclestone and Jean Todt, head of the FIA, "have wilfully detached themselves from the life-or-death realities that will mold both the image of their sport and the fate of Bahrain. They are by no means the only ones either. The kingdom's Royal Family desperately wants the race to proceed as a signal to the wider world that its tentative moves towards inclusion have produced a durable political settlement which they certainly have not." The Times slammed the organisers' lack of "moral courage" and said that "several Grand Prix nations have dubious human rights records, but nowhere are sport and the regime so closely associated as in Bahrain. This is why sport and politics cannot be separated next weekend. It is also why, once Bahrain's reforms have gained traction and solid Shia support, Formula One should return with triumphant fanfare."
In a statement, Amnesty International said a "blind eye" should not be turned to the "ongoing human rights crisis in the country." "Holding the Grand Prix in Bahrain in 2012 risks being interpreted by the government of Bahrain as symbolizing a return to business as usual," it added.
Decision to race all about money. Patrick Collins of The Daily Mail said that the organisers had disregarded questions of "ethics, decency and principle" in the pursuit of "shedloads of easy money … game, set and match to filthy lucre." "With its cavalier attitude towards democratic standards and human rights, along with allegations of torture of prisoners, its callous ill-treatment of a hunger striker and its flagrant disregard for conventional, civilised values, Bahrain seemed a place best avoided," argued Collins, who described F1 as a "noxious, raucous, polluting affront to the environment, masquerading as a sport."
Steady on, it's not F1′s job to take a political lead, argued ITV Sport Editor Steve Scott, who said that "of course the race is potentially a target for protest, even terrorism but Formula 1 can not be blamed for honouring its contract. More than that, Formula 1 cannot be blamed for side stepping a moral judgment and filling a vacuum left by Western governments. That is not their job, for the sport's governing body safety, and only safety, can be their concern." Scott said that "sport should of course have a conscience at all times but it can not take a political lead unless it's about something as clear cut as apartheid South Africa."

We recommend that patients check with their insurance companies as some will make an out of network reimbursement. We are happy to fill out any paper work necessary and work with both the patient and the insurance company.
Can I use my current frame?

When I was in London in February, I visited Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine in Barnes. Located at the site of the T. Rex singer's car crash death in 1977, fans have used the spot to pay their respects and post remembrances. This song played on my mp3 player on the bus ride there (right after "Cosmic Dancer," spookily) and struck me as unexpectedly and fittingly somber. The video is a performance of the song, a No. 1 for T. Rex in the UK, on Top of the Pops in 1971.Read More

You only need three ingredients:
Washing Soda (NOT baking soda)
3 Bars of Fel Naptha Soap (or Octagon) We find both at Krogers.
These supplies will allow you to make 15 gallons of soap (at 3 different intervals, which should last you approximately a year and a half, depending on size of your family)
Physical equipment you need:
5 gallon bucket with lid (we call them pickle buckets and we had plenty, but without lids, so I purchased a new one at Lowe's for $4.99. I recommend the one with the cushioned handle.)
Measuring cup
Stirring spoon (I bought a long handle wooden one that sits right on top of my laundry bucket)
Medium size sauce pan
*DO NOT* walk off and leave this - it will boil over.
The soap will melt into a smooth yellow soup in approximately 5 minutes.
That's it.
You're done.
Until it cools, it will be a smooth yellow liquid. After it cools, it will be a thicker yellow gel. I keep the wooden spoon on top of the bucket to give it an occasional stir. Even in our unheated laundry room, in the middle of January, it stays a creamy gel.
For each load of laundry, I use a cap from an older store-bought jug and use the same amount of homemade that I used of the store-bought.
This bucket above (minus 1 gallon I shared with a friend) lasted our family from July 2008 to yesterday (3-30-09). We average 4-5 loads of laundry a week.
The first time I made detergent it took me about an hour - this morning it took me about 25 minutes.
The total cost for the last batch, today's batch, and the next batch was $15.00. This includes the plastic bucket, measuring cup, wooden spoon (all reusable) plus the ingredients. The actual ingredients cost $7.00 - and that's 3 separate batches, lasting our family a year and a half.
(The washing soda and borax come in one size (approx 6 cups in each one), so I found it easier to go ahead and buy enough soap to match the soda and borax. I just stored them until it was time to make the next batch.)
If you want lavender scented detergent (or vanilla, or whatever), you can add essential oil to the mixture. I don't because I have asthma, and prefer unscented. The Fels-Naptha soap has a light, clean scent to it but it doesn't bother me in the least.
BTW- this is low-foaming. If you prefer lots of suds, you may not like this detergent. But you should also know that the "sudsing" is artificially added to commercial detergents, and has nothing to do with actual cleansing. Americans have been trained by Madison Avenue to think "suds" equals "cleaning".
Let's see, what else can we make for ourselves?

Caveo of MortalitasA Story by Treo LeGigeo
In the midst of life we are in death. Life is precious. We must take while we can.
I see
Black, a dark swirling cloud that spreads from before my eyes to the edges of my vision. Black, and nothing more.
I hear
The soft whispers, all around me, come now, join us, it is time…
I feel
I have nothing, no mind, no body, just a soul within the darkness. I see the clouds, hear the whispers, though I am not sure whether or not "see" and "hear" are the right words, for I have no ears, no eyes; I just know.
Come now…The whispers are beckoning. But no, I'm not going to listen.
Join us… But I can't. I have a life to live, a full one, not one cut short so unfairly like this.
It is time… But why? Why must it be time? I want my body, my mind, my life. It's too early, I'm too young.
We are all young, young in the face of forever. Life is only the beginning… But I don't want to leave, I want to stay with my family, my friends, my husband, my children. I want to stay.
Why? Why would I want to stay in the world, with the people I love? Why would I not? I had everything there, and nothing here.
Is that what you truly believe?
…shouldn't it be?
You have much to learn, dear child.
Sometimes, things that appear as gifts may indeed be demons in disguise.
…I don't understand.
Nor did we.
So tell me.
It cannot be explained…
Alright, so-
But it can be shown.
But it can be, wait wha-
But before I could finish, everything changed. The clouds dissolved, the whispers died, the scene disappeared.
"Honey, Honey it's time to wake up."
I opened my eyes… it couldn't be …and was met with the face of my smiling husband.
"There we go. Come on, breakfast is already on the table."
"Sam?" The name was breathed so softly it was barely audible.
"Oh, and I've got a work conference this morning, so you'll have to take the kids to school."
Work conference? Kids to school? That meant… Oh god.
"I can't do it."
My husband turning from the mirror that he was standing in front of to fasten his tie. "Why not?"
"Because," what could I say? "I don't know, I just feel that something bad is going to happen."
"Yeah, right," my husband replied, turning back to adjust his tie. "Seriously dear, you need to go."
"Sam," I couldn't just let this happen. I got up, walking quickly toward him and wrapping my arms around his chest. "How about you drop the kids, then come back here. We can go out today, just the two of us."
"Honey," he laughed, shaking me off, "I can't skip this, just drop the kids and let me get ready."
"No." I grabbed his shoulders, pulling him into a kiss, trying to savour the moment, committing every detail to memory. It would be our last. "Come on Sam, just one day."
"Ah geez," he pushed me off again and turned back to the mirror, "I don't know what's gotten into you today, but my work is important and I can't just skip."
"But I, I…" I don't believe it. I'm going to die today and my husband cares more about work than about me. I looked at him, now brushing down his suit, trying to memorise very pane of his face, of his body. Oh why won't he look at me, he won't even have a proper memory of his wife of eight years. Why did we never realise that today could be our last?
"Standing there won't be much help. Really, they're going to be late."
It hurts. Our last day together, and we shared nothing. No love, no feelings. It hurts.
"Okay, I'll go."
I barely remembered taking my two children to the car, or driving up the long meandering road to drop them at their primary school.
But this time, when I saw the sports car zipping round the corner, I didn't scream. I didn't brake.
Instead, I welcomed the oblivion. It didn't seem so daunting anymore.
Do you see?
Yes, I never realised that we miss so much in our life.
It is not important now. Your mortal life is passed. The next now awaits you, a world that is not complicated by the needs of the body or the emotions of the mind. A world which is merely existence. Like us.
A world with no pain, no heartbreak, no nothing. Suddenly, I wasn't reluctant. Suddenly, I saw the wonder that was that world, and the perfection it had. Suddenly, I wanted to move on.
Are you ready to pass through?
Yes, I think I am.
The scene changed again, but instead of dying down, the whispers began to build, louder and louder in a cacophony of noise. A light shone through, from somewhere in the abyss, a beacon though the darkness.
And the clouds parted.
I turned my gaze to the figure within the parted clouds, robed in black with the deadly blade at his side. I moved toward him.
I am ready.

VISITING politicians were given an exclusive tour of the town by Reading East MP Jane Griffiths.
Ms Griffiths met the president and other members of the Armenian Parliament on Friday to give them a lesson in local government.
She was asked to welcome the first delegation of Armenian politicians ever to visit the UK because she is vice chair of the All Party Parliamentary Armenia Group and has met them twice before.
Ms Griffiths took the party on a tour of the Civic Offices before taking them to her former workplace - BBC Monitoring, in Caversham - to show how Reading listens to the world.
The delegation arrived in Reading on Thursday. Earlier in the week, the group visited Cardiff.

Fifth European Working Conditions Survey - Overview report
Work plays a significant role in the lives of people, companies and society at large. Since its inception, the European Union has paid considerable attention to work, and improving working conditions is one of its key policy goals. The European Working Conditions Survey series (the 'EWCS') aims to: Measure working conditions across European countries on a harmonised basis; analyse relationships between different aspects of working conditions; identify groups at risks and issues of concern, as well as areas of progress; monitor trends over time; and contribute to European policy development, in particular on quality of work and employment issues. This report analyses the findings of the fifth European Working Conditions Survey, carried out in 2011-2012.

The word "inspiration" usually means something that mentally stimulates you.
But "inspiration" also means to breathe in.
The meanings poetically combine when you think of yourself breathing in thoughts, filling your body with ideas.
But don't forget to breathe out.
Some people watch hundreds of TED talks, looking for inspiration.
Tech entrepreneurs visit Hacker News every few hours, looking for new inspiration.
Musicians, writers, artists, and everyone else, all scouring the world for inspiration.
Breathing in, and in, and in, and in.
Yet most of them aren't feeling inspired enough. They're looking for more, thinking something else out there will truly inspire them.
Want to know why?
Because nothing is truly inspiring unless you apply it to your work.("work" meaning your life's output, whether creative, business, or personal.)
In other words, your work, itself, is the inspiration.
You may hear something or see something that gives you a new idea.
But it's only when you stop and think of your work through this new perspective, that you actually jump up and go turn the idea into reality.
That's the real inspiration that everyone is looking for!
The inspiration is not the receiving of information. The inspiration isapplying what you've received.
People think that if they keep reading articles, browsing books, listening to talks, or meeting people, that they're going to suddenly get inspired.
But constantly seeking inspiration is anti-inspiring.
You have to pause the input, and focus on your output.
For every bit of inspiration, use it and amplify it by applying it to your work.
Then you'll finally feel the inspiration you've been looking for.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.
