THE FORBIDDEN GRIEF: Confession After Abortion (PSALM 32). An article by Peter Barnes.
You have had an abortion.
You believed that in the circumstances it was the best thing. They told you that it was just a bunch of cells in your body. They never used the word 'baby' - it was the 'product of conception', a 'foetus', or even just 'body tissue' or a 'blob'. You were not counselled; you were shovelled along in a predetermined direction. It had more to do with sales techniques than with counselling.
You wanted to believe that an abortion would be a safe and legal minor operation - a 'termination', they said - and that you would soon recover and be back to normal. You listened to the experts who told you that abortion is a relatively benign procedure, both medically and psychologically. They said - if they mentioned the possibility at all - that the number of women who suffer significant emotional distress after abortion is almost infinitesimal. Post-abortion syndrome was even labelled a 'myth', a relic of the over-sensitive Puritan conscience.
It was not too hard for you to convince yourself that abortion was the best thing in the circumstances. Indeed, it would almost be a noble thing as it would not be fair to bring a child into this troubled world, especially not at this particular time. But somehow something somewhere has gone wrong. It has not worked out for you in the way that you thought it would. Instead of relief, you feel a dull ache, regrets, and at times a terrible agony. The aftershocks have been far greater than you were led to believe.
1. Sin hurts us deeply.
The Bible tells of King David's adultery with Bathsheba, who became pregnant. In an attempt to cover up his sin, David had Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, moved to the front line of battle, where he was soon killed. For a while, David thought that he was off the hook. His sins of adultery, murder and deception had been concealed (2 Sam.11-12).
Yet he knew himself that something had happened within his own soul. He felt unclean and dirty. And this had physical effects on him - he was in pain, he had no strength, he felt drained, and he could not sleep. Life was not the same for David. He records: 'When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer' (Ps.32:3-4). Sin had made David dysfunctional. He tried desperately to smother his fears, stifle his conscience, and delude his mind.
No doubt some of David's courtiers thought that he had caught a virus. Perhaps others said: 'Time heals all wounds. You will soon get over the episode with Bathsheba and the death of Uriah.' Maybe the royal psychologist told him to try to get rid of his feelings of guilt by taking up a hobby. But we have feelings of guilt because we are objectively guilty before God. To take away our feelings of guilt, we need the guilt itself to be taken away. For twelve months or so, David was haunted by what he had done. The sweet singer of Israel, the man after God's own heart, had become sullen and heavy, with no heart for life.
And so it is with abortion. All kinds of unforeseen consequences come from having an abortion. You tried not to think about it, to put it behind you, and get on with life, but it has been hard, surprisingly hard. You may have felt depressed, useless and isolated. Life has been a burden, with bouts of uncontrolled crying, and even panic attacks. Sleep brings little relief; there are dreams of babies, and, what is worse, nightmares. It is difficult to look at a young mother with her child.
You think of what you might have had, and should have had. You remember the date on which your baby would have been born. You fantasise about babies. One woman put it like this: 'Sometimes I open my arms and embrace the air'. Or: 'In my mind, I have a son I cannot touch and cannot feed and who follows me about like a ghost.'
Perhaps you now hate your husband or your partner. He should have protected you, but instead he pressured you into thinking you had to go through with the termination. Or maybe he just abdicated and left you alone to make the fateful decision. Maybe your relationship has even broken up. Something like 80% of relationships do not survive an abortion. The baby is not the only victim. One woman who had an abortion became so embittered that she laughed when she heard that her abortionist's daughter had been murdered. Abortion damages our integrity as human beings. One woman wrote: 'I have terminated myself.'
This is the grief you were not supposed to feel. They told you that abortion was safer, both psychologically and medically, than childbirth. Yet now this is the loneliest grief of all. There are no photos, no little reminders of past joys, no shared memories, and no grave to visit. To the outsider there is nothing, but to you reality is very different. Now even your happiest moments are shadowed by a secret sadness. People grieve greatly - and sometimes feel guilty - even after a miscarriage, but it is so much worse after an abortion. With an abortion, grief is mixed with real objective guilt.
You may have felt so cheap and worthless that you took to a promiscuous lifestyle. Perhaps drugs or alcohol have become too much a part of your life. Your whole personality has changed, but you have tried to keep up some kind of facade. Even the sexual act - the place where all life begins - has become a painful reminder of the life you did not bring to fruition. Perhaps you have become so desperate that you have thought of suicide. Sometimes the reaction can be delayed, but it can be severe and prolonged. Never in all your life have you felt so empty and desolate.
It is strange - you may not have thought of yourself as a very religious person, yet you feel overcome by guilt and pain. At the bar of God, the giver of life, you stand condemned. Activities dull the pain for a time, but when you are alone, the memories haunt you. Grief often comes in waves. You may feel that you can never be forgiven. People who are close to you tell you to forget it, but those are mocking words. There may be smiles and platitudes from those who know your secret, but these bring no real comfort. You would love another chance; you would do anything to wipe the slate clean and do it right this time.
2. The joy of forgiveness.
You may have tried all sorts of remedies to make up for what you have done or at least to cope with the horrible feeling inside you. Perhaps you have tried to fall pregnant again, as soon as possible. Or maybe you have adopted a sponsorship child, who has become a kind of replacement or atonement child. Sometimes women adopt a baby's gravesite and visit it, especially on the birthday of the aborted baby. It is common - and helpful, no doubt - to name the aborted child. A kind of funeral service - or farewell ceremony - can be held. People even try to find consolation by praying for, or even to, the dead child. These days many people try to pretend that we are able to forgive ourselves.
The breakthrough for David came in his confession of his sin to God: 'I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and You forgave the iniquity of my sin' (Ps.32:5). This is the key to it all. This is what all of Scripture teaches: 'If we confess our sins, He [God] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness' (1 John 1:9). The way up is first to go down.
As Augustine of Hippo put it: 'What we need is true confession, not false defence.' That is what David realised: 'I brought my sin to God, I stopped pretending and playing games, I brought it openly to God in confession, and He forgave me. I was not put on probation; I was freely forgiven.' When Christ died on the cross, He satisfied the justice of God and paid the full penalty for sin. He paid the debt which you owe to God. This having been done, so He freely offers mercy to all who come to Him in repentance and faith (Rom.3:21-26).
When David turned to God again, he knew what it was to be cleared in the court of heaven. He was indeed guilty, but now he was acquitted, freed and clean. He found forgiveness the only way that it can be found - through repentance and faith in the One who gave His life for the wrong things we have done.
The hymn-writer, Fanny Crosby, sang of this grace:
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
David knew the misery of sin, and so have you. David also knew the joy of forgiveness, and so can you. Your terrible grief may in fact open the door to unimaginable joy. It may be a sign that God is indeed calling you to Himself. As Thomas Watson put it: 'We are never more precious in God's eyes than when we are lepers in our own.'
In the New Testament we read the account of a woman who was a sinner - almost certainly a prostitute - who washed Jesus' feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. Jesus declared that she was forgiven her many, many sins. Her response was to be very, very grateful (Luke 7:36-53).
3. A life restored.
In confessing his sin to God, David found that his life was put back together. The holy God had forgiven the unholy David. As we saw earlier, those who are forgiven much love much (Luke 7:47). They have every reason to lift their voices in praise of God's grace.
Instead of hiding in shame from God, David is now secure in His love and protection, no matter what troubles might come his way. When he refused to acknowledge his sin before God, he moped around in abject misery; now he can shout for joy. He has a message for others which has been ratified by his own experience: 'For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely in a flood of great waters they shall not come near him. You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with [loud] songs of deliverance' (Ps.32:6-7).
How David has changed! He had been hiding from God, but now God is his hiding place. Now he prays, now he is secure in God's love and protection, now he is protected no matter what flood of calamities come his way, now he is full of praise - he cannot help but sing out loud to the God who has redeemed him. Freed from sin, David fears nothing.
David learnt his lesson: 'Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; but he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you upright in heart' (Ps.32:10-11)! The world thinks that God is in the business of promoting misery and that sin is somehow related to happiness. The truth, which you yourself have already experienced in part, is that sin breeds misery but forgiveness brings joy and delight.
David wrote this Psalm under the inspiration of God so that the likes of you and me would know how to deal with our sins. You cannot pretend that abortion is a non-event, like the clipping of your toenails. David had blood on his hands, but he found that God was more gracious than he could ever have believed. You have shed innocent blood in sin; Christ shed His innocent blood to atone for sin.
The Lord is rich and merciful;
The Lord is very kind;
O come to Him, come now to Him,
With a believing mind.
His comforts, they shall strengthen thee,
Like flowing waters cool;
And He shall for thy spirit be
A fountain ever full.
That was David's experience. God calls you to make it yours too.
As he was dying in the year A.D. 430, Augustine of Hippo read from copies of some of the Psalms which he had placed on his bedroom walls. One of the Psalms which he read was this one - Psalm 32. Augustine wept as he thought of his own sins and the undeserved mercy of God. He knew the truth of the gospel, expressed in his own words: 'Let a man grieve for his sin and rejoice for his grief.'
You may, however, have one last question: 'God offers me forgiveness and cleansing, but what about the child I aborted?' When David committed adultery with Bathsheba, she fell pregnant. In the aftermath of Uriah's death, the prophet Nathan confronted David about his sin. David was shattered: 'I have sinned against the Lord' (2 Sam.12:13). Nathan went on to declare God's forgiveness of David, and that the king would not die, but he also said that the young child would die. For seven days, David was absorbed in sorrow - he wept, fasted and prayed that the life of the child would be spared.
All to no avail, as the child died. It was then, however, that David said: 'I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me' (2 Sam.12:23). Death is a one-way street. Yes, the child was dead. But one day David too would die and be re-united with his child in glory. Christ died to pay the death penalty for sinners, but He also rose from the dead, never to die again. Sin and death have been overcome for all who repent of their sins and cast themselves upon the mercy of Christ. Then, as the Scripture says, 'death is swallowed up in victory' (1 Cor.15:54). Your forbidden grief can become endless victory, but only in Christ.

SIR – Criticism was predictable from supporters of the Syrian regime of my project with The Telegraph to find and analyse samples from recent chlorine attacks in Syria, which have left at least two children dead in the last few weeks.
However, I am disappointed by other comments from some purporting to support innocent civilians in Syria. These call my "unorthodox and unconventional" approach in bringing evidence of these atrocities to the notice of the international community "unhelpful".
As orthodox and conventional solutions have had little success in alleviating the misery of millions of civilians in Syria, I suggest a different path. As a minimum, Syrian civilians should be shown how to survive such toxic attacks and given basic protective, decontamination and monitoring equipment. This I am happy to do myself. I have run a number of Skype seminars for Syria. I gave my own basic equipment to the brave doctor who collected the samples for us.
Improvised chemical weapons such as chlorine and ammonia are survivable with basic knowledge, being visible and avoidable.
Can I recommend to those "armchair-bound good men" Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T E Lawrence, who knew about the complexities of the Middle East. He was one of the few who created some sort of order and stability there, through unorthodox and unconventional methods.
Lawrence served in the Royal Tank Regiment (as I was to do). From it came the Chemical Biological Radiological & Nuclear Regiment. Unconventional, unorthodox and unexpected? I think Lawrence might have approved.

Shakespeare savagery
SIR – The Globe audience was not the first to be shocked by Titus Andronicus. A letter by Gilbert Burns, younger brother of Robert, tells of a visit by their schoolmaster in 1768 and of nine-year-old Robert's reaction to the play.
"Murdoch… brought us a present and memorial of him, a small compendium of English grammar, and the tragedy of Titus Andronicus, and by the way of passing the evening, he began to read the play aloud.
"We were all attention for some time, till presently the whole party was dissolved in tears. A female in the play (I have but a confused recollection of it) had her hands chopt off, her tongue cut out, and then was insultingly desired to call for water to wash her hands.
"At this, in an agony of distress, we with one voice desired he would read no more. My father observed that if we would not hear it out it would be needless to leave the play with us. Robert replied that if it was left he would burn it."

Disabled living together
SIR – There are in Scope homes many profoundly disabled people who, like my daughter, are wheelchair users, have no speech and no controlled movement, and are happy living in a community situation where there are stimulating activities, onsite facilities, and minibuses for the occasional trip out.
My daughter and many others do not wish to be torn away from their long-term friends, carers and surroundings. Evicting them would be destructive.
To be housed in four-person homes where loneliness and isolation are normal would be little more than life in a prison.
Closing existing homes simply because they are out of fashion takes away my daughter's choice. Scope is turning its back on the most profoundly disabled, the very people it was set up to help.

Labour's rent cap
SIR – The Labour Party wants landlords to offer three-year contracts at fixed prices. This will require a tenant to sign a three-year agreement, with a penalty should the contract be broken. This is absurd. Young professionals require flexibility thanks to the nature of their jobs, their position in the housing market and, occasionally, their wish to escape a dire landlord.
Kenneth Jones
Groby, Leicestershire
SIR – The Housing Act 1988 protects most residential tenants already, often to the detriment of landlords. The expiry of any "notice seeking possession" after two months requires a landlord to apply for a Possession Order (at a cost of £275). Even after this has been granted, there is a further cost to expedite the warrant, so the whole process takes between three and six months after the tenant was asked to leave. This gives tenants ample time to find alternative accommodation.

Watching the box
SIR – My daughter gave me a nesting box with a camera for my last birthday. We have watched a blue tit take six weeks to ferry all the materials and build a nest. She laid nine eggs and started sitting on April 18, and the very ugly chicks were hatched, all within three hours of each other, on Thursday morning. What a present.

Cohabitants unqualified for benefits of marriage
SIR – Sir James Munby undermines marriage by suggesting that cohabiting individuals should enjoy the same rights as married couples.
Marriage is a legal arrangement which exists, among other reasons, to formalise clearly the relationship between two people. Cohabitants do not have the confidence or commitment to one another to embark upon a formal relationship. Having rejected marriage, such people should not be given the advantages of that great institution.
Nigel Thorne
Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire
SIR – Sir James Munby is right: it is high time that the needs of unmarried couples be recognised in law.
My experience over four decades as a divorce lawyer confirms the difficulties in obtaining suitable "financial relief" for "uncoupling couples" – particularly women, many of whom mistakenly had assumed their entitlement.
On separation, a reasonable financial outcome is achieved often only with the co-operation of their ex-partner. Beware the myth that "common law wives" have the same rights as married women.
Michael Holland
Gravesend Kent
SIR – We already have protection in place for men, women and families in marriage.
Rather than have complicated legislation for cohabiting couples, we should encourage couples to marry.

We wanted to find out something about early residents of Powis Square. We began with the censuses and street directories. At the Local History Centre we found the censuses from 1851-1911 for Powis Square and the Road, and made photocopies. Studying our censuses at home, we could see there were changing patterns of people living here. In 1851 - when Powis Square was called Powis Place - and in 1861, it was all rather genteel, with small households headed by a "Landed Proprietor" (no.1), a "Gentleman" or "Gentlewoman" (no. 3 and no.13), or a "Clergyman" (no.2).
Women and children rule!
Then, in 1871, it was really remarkable to see that Powis Square was inhabited almost entirely by women and children – that year, the census reported 164 females and only 26 males, most of whom were young boys. Of the total of 190 people listed, 70 were under 15 years old. The grown-ups were nearly all widows and grass widows, single women either working or with independent means, and dozens of domestic servants – all women and girls. Some of these women seem to have been doing very well indeed - Isabella Travers, a wholesale grocer from London, lived at no.3 Powis Square with 2 nieces and a nephew from Sydney Australia, and a lot of servants for such a small household: a French governess, a cook, a messenger (the cook's 14 year old daughter), a ladies' maid, a housemaid and a parlourmaid!
Schoolmistresses and scholars
And there were schools, lots of them. In 1854 there were nine, in 1861, eight, and in 1871 there were seven. A typical example was at nos. 17+18 Powis Square, where Miss Mary Strongitharm had her establishment. Miss Strongitharm - with the help of Heliose Harle from Versailles in France, Anna Scholte from Hanover in Germany, one other teacher and three servants - taught eleven girls aged 9-17. Women like Miss Strongitharm and her colleagues were educated, or at very least literate, numerate, and possessing transferable ladylike skills - and they were supporting themselves financially.
Magistrates, musicians and merchants
Later, the social make-up of Powis Square and Powis Road began to change – there were more families, more men, more professional people (solicitors, physicians, a magistrate), artists, a musician, a music-hall manager, and more 'trade' – these were the glory years of the Age of Capital. For example, in 1891, there was a furniture dealer (Edward Broadbridge, 2 Powis Square), an indigo merchant (Francis Roberts, no.11), a brick merchant (Joseph French, no.18), and our only truly famous local hero, Thomas Crapper, the sanitary engineer, who was living at no.21 Powis Square in the early 1890s.

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lxnet [ library ... ] #include <sys/socket.h>
ssize_t send(int socket, const void *buffer, size_t length, int flags);
socket Specifies the socket file descriptor.
buffer Points to the buffer containing the message to send.
length Specifies the length of the message in bytes.
flags Specifies the type of message transmission. Values of this argument are formed by logically OR'ing zero or more of the following flags:
MSG_EOR Terminates a record (if supported by the protocol)
MSG_OOB Sends out-of-band data on sockets that support out-of-band communications. The significance and semantics of out-of-band data are protocol-specific.
The send() function initiates transmission of a message from the specified socket to its peer. The send() function sends a message only when the socket is connected (including when the peer of a connectionless socket has been set via connect(3XNET)).
The length of the message to be sent is specified by the length argument. If the message is too long to pass through the underlying protocol, send() fails and no data is transmitted.
Successful completion of a call to send() does not guarantee delivery of the message. A return value of -1 indicates only locally-detected errors.
If space is not available at the sending socket to hold the message to be transmitted and the socket file descriptor does not have O_NONBLOCK set, send() blocks until space is available. If space is not available at the sending socket to hold the message to be transmitted and the socket file descriptor does have O_NONBLOCK set, send() will fail. The select(3C) and poll(2) functions can be used to determine when it is possible to send more data.
The socket in use may require the process to have appropriate privileges to use the send() function.
The send() function is identical to sendto(3XNET) with a null pointer dest_len argument, and to write() if no flags are used.
Upon successful completion, send() returns the number of bytes sent. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
The send() function will fail if:
EWOULDBLOCK The socket's file descriptor is marked O_NONBLOCK and the requested operation would block.
EBADF The socket argument is not a valid file descriptor.
ECONNRESET A connection was forcibly closed by a peer.
EDESTADDRREQ The socket is not connection-mode and no peer address is set.
EFAULT The buffer parameter can not be accessed.
EINTR A signal interrupted send() before any data was transmitted.
EMSGSIZE The message is too large be sent all at once, as the socket requires.
ENOTCONN The socket is not connected or otherwise has not had the peer prespecified.
ENOTSOCK The socket argument does not refer to a socket.
EOPNOTSUPP The socket argument is associated with a socket that does not support one or more of the values set in flags.
EPIPE The socket is shut down for writing, or the socket is connection-mode and is no longer connected. In the latter case, and if the socket is of type SOCK_STREAM, the SIGPIPE signal is generated to the calling thread.
The send() function may fail if:
EACCES The calling process does not have the appropriate privileges.
EIO An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
ENETDOWN The local interface used to reach the destination is down.
ENETUNREACH No route to the network is present.
ENOBUFS Insufficient resources were available in the system to perform the operation.
ENOSR There were insufficient STREAMS resources available for the operation to complete.

Unanswered: access-only networking over the internet
My access db runs in a local area network (multiple front end mdbs accessing a single back end mdb via shared/network folders; well, just 3 computers accessing one).
Security considerations aside, is there a way to open an mdb to internet sharing from within access (not counting mySQL and other programs)?
I am considering migrating the database (at least the backend) into mySQL, but that's an eventual step that's pretty far down the road for me. I'm still learning access as it is.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking... but if it is "can I just run an Access database from a web browser", the answer is no. You can look at Data Access Pages and such, but if you really want to run a database online, it should be developed in PHP or something like that.Owner and Manager of

there is no reason why you cannot deploy an access database over the internet for remote use....
make sure that people usng he app have a local copy of the mdb (let them down load the app)
except that it would be horrendously slow, prone to collapse and probably have masses of data problems,you wouldn't be able to support many users, unless you have used the unbound forms design approach
The problem is how JET handles data.. its a file server model. the client requests the data, JET sends the indexes and the data so there is a heck f a lot of network traffic for the client to decide what data it needs. that will clog your internet connection (it one of the reasons why many 'professional' developers sneer at Access becuase its a network bandwidth hog. using a server back end removes that bottleneck but many 'profesionals' either don't know that or choose to ignore it. but yu hvae to design for using a server back end from the ground up.. that means NOT using bound forms but unbound forms, it means not using any VBA in queries, i tmenas using none of the whizzy bits of Access, and very very carefull design of any bit using data (always use pass through queries). but if you do consider going down that route then I'd stronlgy reccomend you get the sybex developer book suggested earlierI'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

Slowdown is fine for me, and the intended front end to be used for accessing the db is on a view-only setting (no edits, no adds, no deletes).
I am weighing the amount of work to do if it's done entirely within the abilities of access as compared to using an sql server. Seems like a migration would be a wiser move.
Are there any good references for learning how to create unbound forms?

If you are going to use backend tables you will have to do one of two things -
VPN - which can be slow unless you use dedicated routers (i.e Sonic Wall brand ) or use remote access (terminal services ) and load the sessions from a computer at the dat alocation - which is what I have running on a clients business where in houston - 15 stores using Terminal Services and running the MDE not from there PC but from the server at the corprorate office - Not much lag and very cost effective.
Also if using multi-site access apps - I like upsizing the table to runtime SQL and then using DSN-Less connection string on start up to avoid performance hits using a local dsn file.
I hope this helps - and Data Access pages aren't bad either - at least for retrieving and viewing data.Dale Houston, TX

UNMISS publicly destroys IDP weapons in Juba
9 December 2014 - To promote a safe environment in its protection sites, UNMISS today destroyed weapons recovered from internally displaced people (IDPs) in Juba over the last 12 months.
Speaking to witnesses, including representatives of the African Union, the European Union and diplomatic corps, Special Representative of the Secretary General (SRSG) Ellen Margrethe Loej said weapons were destroyed in full public view to dispel doubts.
She added that the move was part of efforts to create and promote peace in South Sudan and to enhance the safety of both IDPs as well as UNMISS personnel and aid workers in the mission's protection sites.
"In most instances, these weapons have been surrendered by civilians and ex-combatants seeking shelter at the sites," she said. "In other cases, they have been confiscated during operations that UNMISS periodically conduct inside the protection sites."
Using a weapons-shearing machine, the UN Mine Action Service crushed into unusable pieces the weapons, including 10 pistols, 15 AK47 assault rifles and a total of about 500 knives, machetes, pangas and spears, as well as iron and wooden bars.
The UNMISS chief noted that this was the first in a series of such weapons and ammunition destructions that will take place throughout December.
Similar exercises have been planned in Malakal and Nassir in Upper Nile State, as well as Bentiu, Bor and Wau, the state capitals of Unity, Jonglei and Western Bahr El-Ghazal states respectively.
The SRSG dismissed rumours that IDPs occasionally broke into the mission's container to steal confiscated weapons.
"UNMISS has kept a careful inventory of the arms and ammunitions it has seized and there is no truth whatsoever to the baseless rumors that IDPs have broken into containers housing these items and stolen their contents," said Ms. Loej.
In addition to weapons, searches also sought to rid protection sites of other substances like alcohol, drugs and other contraband, she said.
The SRSG called for restraint among the warring parties in South Sudan as the country approaches the first anniversary of the conflict.
"As we approach the anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities between government and opposition forces on 15 December, I call upon the warring parties to refrain from further acts of violence and fully abide by the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement," she appealed.

Review for Bridgeville Automotive
Eileen B H. on 10/31/2015
"16 years and counting"
I love Bridgeville Automotive. I, and my sons, have been bringing our cars there for 16 years at least. They are knowledgeable, honest and dependable. They have gone above and beyond in helping to keep our cars on the road and running smoothly. I appreciate the fact that they explain why something needs repaired, how it affects the car. Jim even went to court with me regarding a vehicle I owned.

Choices include "Sugar Plum Gary," "Krampus Christmas" and "Christmastown: A Holiday Noir."
If you are a traditionalist when it comes to live holiday entertainment, Seattle has a batch of familiar yuletide fare to sample, from various versions of "A Christmas Carol" (by ACT Theatre, Seattle Radio Theatre and others), numerous productions of "The Nutcracker" (Pacific Northwest Ballet, Evergreen City Ballet, to name a few) and several "A Charlie Brown Christmas" offerings (Taproot Theatre, Strawberry Theatre Workshop, SecondStory Rep).
But if you'd rather head off the beaten path, and have a taste for the quirky and irreverent, there are also plenty of other options. Here are some possibilities. (Note that most of the shows mentioned here are aimed at adults, not "tiny tots with their eyes all aglow.")
"Sugar Plum Gary"
Emmett Montgomery, host of Seattle's proudly demented Weird and Awesome comedy series, gets into the season spirit with a one-of-a-kind solo show at Capitol Hill's 18th & Union (formerly New City Theatre). It imagines a Christmas Eve where Santa Claus drops by, only to find just one guy left on the planet — a Santa skeptic who becomes a true believer. Montgomery has toured the (very portable) piece around the country, educating folks about "the magic and danger of the holiday season." (Dec. 2-24; 18thandunion.org)
"Krampus Christmas"
'Tis the season to party with the devil? That's the concept, in Seattle Immersive Theatre's new participatory production. According to German legend, Krampus is a kind of anti-Santa Claus who shows up to punish folks who have misbehaved (rather than reward those who've been good). Local playwright Kelleen Conway Blanchard wrote the script for this darkly comic journey through a wintry maze, conjured in the company's warehouse-sized home on Lower Queen Anne. You'll be led through the 45-minute spectacle with a "terrifyingly jolly elf as your guide." (Through Jan. 1; seattleimmersivetheatre.org)
"Christmastown: A Holiday Noir"

One of the freshest, verbally friskiest shows to hit the holiday circuit in the past couple years is Wayne Rawley's zany mock-noir detective spoof at Seattle Public Theater, in which shamus Nick Holiday takes the case of a glamorous elf, Holly Wonderland. A cross between Garrison Keillor's Guy Noir skits, the movie "Chinatown" and Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," this is a returning treat for pulp-film freaks who can't get enough of those 1940s gumshoes. (Dec. 2-24; seattlepublictheater.org)
"Land of the Sweets: The Burlesque Nutcracker"
A bawdy but nice romp through an old tale, this winter pageant at the Triple Door nightclub is celebrating its 11th year. The genially campy, glittery array of aerial acts, dance numbers, strip-teasing and winking double entendres is set to a big-band, jazzy version of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," and produced by Seattle burlesque impresarios McCann and Verlaine. (Dec. 9-29; www.thetripledoor.net)
"A Rogue's Christmas"
The Town Hall Seattle series "Short Stories Live" returns for its annual recitation of "unconventional" holiday stories and poems, read by well-known Northwest performers. Along with musical infusions by the band Pineola, goodies under the tree this year include one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's earliest published stories; Kurt Vonnegut's "While Mortals Sleep"; and Muriel Spark's "The Seraph and the Zambezi." (Dec. 11; townhallseattle.org)
Twisted Flicks: "Rudolph's Shiny New Year"
Using a 1976 stop-action film with the sound turned off, the Twisted Flicks funsters will provide improvised satirical dialogue for the made-for-TV tale about the famous reindeer. It features the voices of Red Skelton and Morey Amsterdam but is far from a holiday classic, and the impromptu lines may be hilarious or dumb, or both, depending on the comedy reflexes of the hardy Jet City improvisers. They promise no content or language "objectionable" to a family crowd. (Dec. 29-30; jetcityimprov.org)
Information in this article, originally published Dec. 1, 2016, was corrected Dec. 2, 2016. A previous version of this story contained incorrect information about "A Rogue's Christmas" at Town Hall Seattle.

Following the unfortunate and untimely death of Todd Tucker's mother, Miss Sharon, many were eager to learn what his mother-in-law Mama Joyce would have to say.
It is no secret that Joyce, mother to "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss, isn't a big fan of her son-in-law and has accused him of using her daughter. In fact, during the couple's wedding reality series the two moms (Joyce and Sharon) faced off defending their children. Mama Joyce even accused Miss Sharon of being a former prostitute.
Now, Mama Joyce is expressing her remorse. She tells TMZ that she is "sorry for attacking Sharon by repeating gossip (which turned out to be false) — and wishes they'd patched things up before Miss Sharon died on Tuesday." She also expressed her desire to have a better relationship with Todd.
On whether she'll attend the funeral, however? Mama Joyce says that out of respect for Sharon's close family and friends she will not attend the funeral but will send flowers.
It's very unfortunate that it often takes something tragic, especially death, for people to rethink their behavior and act more mature. May Miss Sharon rest in peace.

At the 2010 World Cup, an instrument became famous. It was called the vuvuzela. It looked like a trumpet and sounded like a horn. Many World Cup stadiums and games had vuvuzelas. The sound could be heard on every television. South Africans liked the instrument. Many reporters and commentators hated the instrument because of the loud noise.
A scientific study has shown the vuvuzela is dangerous for humans. It can hurt the ear.
A new World Cup is being held this year. The country of Brazil is hosting the tournament. A new instrument was created for the new tournament. Brazilian composer Carlinhos Brown invented a percussion instrument called the caxirola. It is made with Brazilian plastic and is shaped like a hand grenade. It is becoming more popular.
The caxirola jangles when shaken. It is available in the colors of every nation at the World Cup. Unfortunately, it has been banned from the World Cup. FIFA makes the rules. It decided not to allow the instrument in stadiums. Mr. Brown was unhappy. He said he did not want to make money from the caxirola. He said he wanted to make his country proud.
Unlike the vuvuzela, the caxirola does not hurt the ear. FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) is worried that the instrument will be thrown at players or other fans. Many people do not think it will be used this way. They think the caxirola is unpopular because the vuvuzela was so unpopular. Brown hopes the FIFA will allow the instrument to be used at the games. You can buy a caxirola at Walmart for $14.00.

Anyone Read Tapscott's Macrowikinomics?
Filed Under (Business Books) by Rajesh Kumar on 13-01-2011
Normally, it is me who is dishing out my unsolicited judgment on books that are on my shelf, or that of my friends and colleagues. This time I am soliciting your advice on what you think of Dan Tapscott's latest book Macrowikinomics. Just to refresh, he's the same guy who wrote that classy eye opener – Wikinomics on mass collaboration. To delve a few inches deeper into your memories, he's the one who orginally reported the Canadian Goldcorp example on mass collaboration in Wikinomics (It has been repeated in so many times in classrooms and forums that I feel he out to start charging license fee from speakers to use them!). While Wikinomics according to me was an absolute delight, what did you guys think of Macrowikinomics?

Holy Cross quarterback Dominic Randolph experienced the anxiety of high expectations during yesterday's Boston College-NFL Pro Day 2010 at Harvard Stadium.
Despite leading the NCAA Championship Subdivision in total offense (3,954 yards) in 2009, Randolph was not invited to the NFL combine in Indianapolis. Yesterday, Randolph and Duke's Zack Asack were the two quarterbacks that participated in passing drills for a cross section of NFL scouts.

'Arab Spring may have brought economic renewal for Mideast'
The political upheaval triggered by the Arab Spring that swept across the Middle East in 2011 may have brought about an economic renewal in the region, a new report has claimed.
Dubai: The political upheaval triggered by the Arab Spring that swept across the Middle East in 2011 may have brought about an economic renewal in the region, a new report has claimed.
Middle Eastern Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) population and wealth grew the fastest among all regions in the world, at an astonishing 15.3 per cent and 23.9 percent respectively, according to the UBS World Ultra Wealth Report 2013.
"High oil prices spurred economic growth for Middle Eastern countries and government spending rose accordingly to address the shortage of housing as well as inadequate infrastructure. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates benefited most from the export-led growth," the report said.
The Middle East was the fastest growing region for both UHNW population and wealth in the past 12 months, it said.
"There has been strong growth of more than 15 percent in UHNW wealth in all countries across the region except Syria.
"Saudi Arabia has the largest UHNW population and wealth at 1,360 individuals and USD 285 billion respectively. Although the United Arab Emirates trails Saudi Arabia in UHNW population and wealth, its UHNW population growth rate outpaced Saudi Arabia's at 20.7 percent," the report said.
According to the report, the total wealth in the UAE is equivalent to over 50 percent of the country's GDP.
Demi-billionaires (defined as UHNW individuals with a net worth between USD 500 million and USD 999 million) now have a greater total wealth than billionaires, with USD 48 billion compared to USD 45 billion.
Switzerland and Germany are the only other focus countries where this occurs, the report said.
Saudi Arabia has 40 female UHNW individuals with a combined net worth of USD 14 billion, it said.
"It has the lowest female representation of all the focus countries featured in the report, but a higher net worth share than Canada, Indonesia and the UAE," the report said.
Also, majority of UHNW individuals in the UAE are self-made individuals at 59 percent, compared to only 32 per cent of UHNW individuals in Saudi Arabia.
Anti-government protests dubbed as 'Arab Spring' started in Tunisia in December 2010 and spread to other countries in the region such as Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya and Syria.

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman draws unsettling, even sinister parallels between the psychological conditioning required to make soldiers kill in war and the similar effect that videos, films, games and movies have in civilian society.
Drawing on interviews, published personal accounts and academic studies, Grossman investigates the psychology of killing in combat. Stressing that human beings have a powerful, innate resistance to the taking of life, he examines the techniques developed by the military to overcome that aversion. His provocative study focuses in particular on the Vietnam war, revealing how the American soldier was ``enabled to kill to a far greater degree than any other soldier in history.'' Grossman argues that the breakdown of American society, combined with the pervasive violence in the media and interactive video games, is conditioning our children to kill in a manner siimilar to the army's conditioning of soldiers: ``We are reaching that stage of desensitization at which the infliction of pain and suffering has become a source of entertainment: vicarious pleasure rather than revulsion. We are learning to kill, and we are learning to like it.'' Grossman, a professor of military science at Arkansas State University, has written a study of relevance to a society of escalating violence. (Oct.)

When I was young and innocent, I knew nothing of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Well, it's not the kind of thing a nicely brought up girl should have to deal with.
Instead, I went out met a man, got married and got given some very nice, very expensive wedding pans. Lovely non-stick pans.
Which brings us right back to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) .
- This is what the non-stick coating on pans is made from.
- Teflon is perhaps the best known manufacturer of polytetrafluoroethylene (non-stick) linings.
- Polytetrafluoroethylene is a plastic and, like other plastics, has a down right nasty side.
Over to wise geek…..
The nonstick coating used in DuPont's Teflon® pans has been found to release one or more of 15 different toxic gases when heated to certain temperatures, but is generally safe when used according to manufacturers' specifications. Which chemicals are released depends on the temperature of the pan. This outgassing can be fatal to pet birds and can cause "polymer fume flu," also known as "Teflon® flu," in humans.
Teflon say if you use the pans properly(?), there shouldn't be a problem. Try telling that to the budgie.
Whatever, the pans are too good to throw out, and I feel bad about giving them away, so I am still using them – but in future I will not be buying any more non-stick.

Nasus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This guide is based in give Nasus CDR (40% is the cap). The principal source of damage of Nasus is Siphoning Strike and that is the reason why is so important learn to give last hit and do it with Siphoning Strike.
You kill two birds with one shot, because you also learn to farm good and that means more gold to build before and better than your enemies....
The thing I love from Nasus is Wither because sometimes can be really annoying and that will make your enemies rage like hell :) spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace
+ Wither Spam every 4 seconds.
+ You are a little bit tanky.
+ Great damage dealer.
+ Squishies deleter with Siphoning Strike.
are your worst nightmares.
- Melee AD/AS are dangerous also.
nothing in this line
nothing in this line
nothing in this line
- Greater Quintessence of Health: 2,7 x 10 = 27hp at lvl 10. My opinion is that better is be strongh in the begining because in mid/late game items, farm and kills will make the difference.
- Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed: These runes are also a very good option, I love mov speed and lately im finding myself better when I use them... so my last opinion is Fortitudes or Swiftness are = great.
- greater mark of Desolation: Arpen > Str at mid/late game, also you want your Siphoning Strike to hit hard.
- Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: flat magic resist will give you a good amount in the begining to resist magic damage.
- Greater Seal of Armor: flat armor will give you a good start armor, in my opinion better than hp. Also in the begining you can notice the effect of the reducing incoming damage.
Start with Doran's Shield, this will give you extra hp, health-regen and armor, good in the begining to hold on the line. Remember that your first mission is last hit minions with Siphoning Strike and second try to get first blood or get a kill if it is posible.
Your primary objetive is get Heart of Gold and Glacial Shroud, these items will be needed later to complete the build and also give you gold while you reach the mid/late game.
Now is time to go for my favorite item Frozen Heart, this item is awesome... dont think it twice and get it!
Don't forget to also buy Mercury's Treads if the enemy has more AP than AD or many CC, otherwise if there is more AD buy Ninja Tabi.
Finish items Shurelya's Reverie and Randuin's Omen. Now you can start to build Trinity Force. If the game is balanced well then you will be able to finish to build the item, if it is not, then probably will end before you can do it.
For masteries, I had success with 9/21/0. Think that your dmg will come most from your Siphoning Strike and not from autoattacks... so better have more survivality.
Just only one simple thing: LAST HIT TO MINIONS with Siphoning Strike!!!! PLEASE!!!
Look the map, the circle area is your world!... Why?
- You can maximixe your Siphoning Strike quietly.
- Do not run the risk of being ganked.
- You give the chance to your jungle to gank.
- Push? do it when your enemy is dead.
Summoner Spells
I chose these two spells for this reason:
- Flash: will save you like nothing else, sometimes you need to retreat when the focus is hard. This makes the enemy team lose the target, confuse them to wich target now, and gives you the chance to come back to the battle, helping your team to snare em, etc or just escape to don't give a kill.
- Exhaust: I think is better than ignite in many ways, but the most important is that allows you stop that AD carry that seems to be unstoppable.
Team Work
You should go solo top so you can improve your Siphoning Strike. In TF you can be one of the initiators, but becarefull, your not a Full-Tank, you can handle some damage, so your team have to know when to act in the right moment.
- Tip: You have always to watch the map and be enough intelligent to know when to leave your lane to go mid for a gank or help budys with problems... one eye in the minimap ALWAYS!
Do you remember all the ganks that you have failed?, all that team fights where 1 or 2 manage to escape? Well.. that's NOT gonna happen again! I promise this to you!
You will be so annoying that you will be hated! they will rage! they will leave! they will flame! and all this only because of your "lamer skill" Wither YES! LAUGH!! MOURN WITH LAUGHTER!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I hope you like my guide :) I write it just for you and to destroy your enemies and make them cry like noobs!
P.S.(This guide does not contemplate the posibility of being part of a denominated "fail team" or "bunch of f****** noobs").

Email Address
Over the years I've made numerous resolutions, some of them I've managed to follow through successfully, many others I've given up on months, weeks and sometimes even just days after making the resolution. This year, I'm looking back over the past year and previous resolutions, and I have a new resolution, one I've never made before.
1992 my resolutions were to lose weight (I had just given birth to my third son), be perfectly groomed, have a perfect home and write a column for my local newspaper….I got the column and wrote it for 4 years.
1998 my resolutions were to lose weight, be perfectly groomed, have a perfect home, and homeschool my younger boys….hahahahaha, well I did homeschool the boys and any of you who have homeschooled know exactly what happened to the rest of those resolutions.
2002 my resolutions were to lose weight, be perfectly groomed, move to Wyoming, have a perfect home and write. We moved to Wyoming.
2008 my resolutions were to lose weight, move back to California, be perfectly groomed and write….we moved back to California
2012 I resolved to lose weight, be perfectly groomed, have a perfect home and write a novel. I wrote the first draft of my novel, and began editing.
So my resolution for 2013…to stop making resolutions and set goals.
When I look back at my list of resolutions, I noticed that each of the things that I actually achieved became a goal. I actually planned and followed steps to achieve my goal. The other things just stayed 'resolutions'. I resolved to 'lose weight', and had good intentions to do so even lost a few pounds here and there (and gained them back), but never made a plan that I could follow, never set real goals. I resolved to have a 'perfect home', but of course I had three sons, a husband and a dog, seriously…probably not a reasonable goal!!
So for 2013 my new resolution is to set goals, and these are my goals:
I will have my first novel ready to submit by Valentine's, and the first draft of my second book done by July.
I'll learn to write on the computer, instead of in a spiral notebook with a ten cent bic pen, although I really love to write that way….because now that I have a day job, I'll never reach my first goal unless I make this my second.
I'll have a manicure at least once a month. (I'm going to have to slowly work up to 'perfectly groomed'.)
As for the perfect house, hahahahaha, I'm a writer. Did anyone really think that would happen?
So OCC members, are you making resolutions or setting goals? What do you plan to accomplish this year? Tell us right here, and we'll get back to you this time next year and compare notes!!
Happy New Year everyone, see you at the January meeting
You guys always make my day. Thank you all for sharing your goals and your comments!
Nancy…homeschooling,that says it all for me. I didn't write, get more than the minimum housework done, and as far as grooming, I was happy to get my daily shower…running a brush through my hair was a bonus!
Char…thank you for sharing your glee! YOU are one of the most positive people I know.
Kara…thank you, I'm still working on it!
See you all Saturday!
My goals for 2013:a) continue to work on improving craft, especially storycraft.b) kick myself in the butt and do marketing. c) write everyday, read everyday, study everday, even if it's only for 5 minutes.
Well, Tari, if it's any comfort, you always seem rather well groomed to me!
I used to be a goal-setter par excellence. I used to give workshops on this subject. What has happened to me????
My goal is to find 'glee' in the small things that happen every day. I'm stealing that idea from author Holly Jacobs, who is the most positive person I know.Char……
By making the goal specific, the chance of success increases. That's how I work. I created a notebook just for publisher calls for submissions which currently has 15 themed calls with deadlines and 8 open-ended series. My 2013 goal is to write and submit to 5 of the themed calls and 3 of the open-ended series. These are of varying lengths from 5K-30K.Now, I've put it out there, I need to get to work.
Uh-oh, Maria! You better not mean by #2 — the need to learn to say, "No."
My goals this year are:
1. to accept myself as being perfectly imperfect.
2. to work on my NEED to volunteer.
3. to finish my 2nd book during BIAY
4. to edit my first book and submit it to one and all.
I loved the losing weight, perfect home, perfect grooming. I would have those goals and not achieve them too, especially since I homeschooled. Maybe we should have the goal of being a perfect mess and the opposite would happen. lol
I tend to not make New Year's resolutions because I don't keep them. Last year I did make the decision to not say negative things about anyone, including myself. (That was the hardest part.) I'm not sure how successful I was, but just having the goal made me more aware of the need to change. As for goals, I love the sign up sheet at OCC. Every month I put down two writing goals that are achievable. This helps me keep on track with my writing.
Thanks for sharing.
Great goals ladies!! Maybe I need to re-evaluate!! See you all at the meeting next week!!
Great post! I'm a process person, and just by setting a general direction and applying effort i can get a lot done! My immediate goal is to finish my WIP by the end of January and since i'm only 11K into it, that's a BIG goal! There are a few gazillion subgoals as well, but that's the biggie! See you at OCC. : )
I loved the "perfect home" while homeschooling three boys and writing!
My goals for 2013:1. Finish my romantic comedy by March.2. Work on the growing list of short story mystery ideas.3. Not let Nikki's goals make me feel like a slacker.
Great post chica! Love your list. I also love that your pacing yourself. My list…Here's my list…that I made in December and put in a word doc.
1. Finish the Karmic Lust Series.2. Write some M/M and F/F stories.3. Sub to Loose ID.4. Continue to work on YA Till Zombies Come for Evernight Teen5. Work on existing WiPs.6. Finish up sequels (Mocha Kisses 2, Milf 2).
Nikki Prince
I totally love the "perfectly groomed" resolution. Wow, I've never done that one! Of course, that manicure will have to come right before the second Saturday of the month, right?

Marketing jobs are sexy. OK, I might be biased. But judging from the number of career-changers and freshly-minted graduates (and their parents) who approach me for advice, the interest is clearly high. After all, where else can you find reasonable (and sometimes excellent) remuneration for a job that lets former English majors psychoanalyze people for a living? Competition for these jobs is intense, so here are seven tips for bulldozing your way through the competition.
1) Your cover letter is key. Particularly if you're a recent graduate, your resume may be thin. But you can outclass the other applicants by showing real interest in the company. Research it and find some nuggets. Was it in the news recently? Have they released a new product? What trends are impacting their industry? Even demonstrating a minimal knowledge about the organization will set you apart from the panicky crowds who send the same boilerplate to 50 companies a day and wonder why they can't get an interview.
2) Leverage LinkedIn. If you haven't already, set up a LinkedIn account, which lets you see who your contacts know. If you're applying for a job at Coca-Cola and your former co-worker knows a division manager there, see if you can get him to make an introduction. Even if he's in a different department, a quick conversation can probably yield some insight and will show the interviewer you cared enough to do extra research. And at smaller organizations, having someone "put in a good word for you" can quickly make its way to the hiring manager's ears.
3) Know the field. It doesn't matter if the unemployment rate is 5 percent or 10 percent — most applicants, amazingly, are still unprepared and unprofessional. It's almost sad how easy it is to stand out. If you're applying for marketing jobs, make sure you're familiar with thought leaders in the field. Read the most prominent blogs (you can find lists on Technorati, Alltop, or other sites) and check some books out of the library — Seth Godin, Jack Trout, Malcolm Gladwell, pick your poison. But have some names to drop.
4) Know your interviewer. Find out in advance who, precisely, will be interviewing you. It's not a state secret, and if you ask, they'll surely tell you. With Facebook, LinkedIn, and other sites with copious biographical information, it's criminally negligent these days not to know who you're dealing with. Research each person you'll be talking to, with the goal of having a few interesting questions to ask them about their background ("I understand you were in the Peace Corps — what was that like?") or commonalities so you can make an immediate connection ("I'm from Alabama, too!"). Those extra details will help put them at ease and make your interview go more smoothly.
5) Have a good writing sample. Marketing jobs are almost always writing-intensive (that's why they get the English majors — or in my case, the philosophy majors). If you've got the chops, prove it. They don't want a term paper or some other jargon-laden treatise. Bang out a couple of white papers (two to four-page, user-friendly writeups) or blog posts about topics you know and care about. What are the top five mistakes companies make on Twitter? How can you make your Facebook page stand out? What are the best and worst uses of YouTube you've seen among small businesses? You may not think of yourself as an expert, but if you're a media consumer today, you've probably got opinions. And if you've been reading your steady diet of blogs and library books, you may just have something interesting to say. Handing over a couple of documents like that will shock and awe your interviewer.
6) Say thanks. You probably heard this from Mom, but I'll say it again: thank the interviewer. Email them thanks that day, and send them a hard copy thank you note that evening, so they get it in a day or two. In each, mention a different aspect of the interview you enjoyed or reference a specific piece of the conversation. That shows you were paying attention and will also serve to remind them of your pithy and insightful comments.
7) Provide value. Finally — unfortunately — the job search process often drags on interminably. There could be weeks between your initial interview and a decision — or, heaven help us, a second or third or fourth interview. Don't let them forget about you. Focus in on your conversation. Did particular themes emerge? Are there competitive threats — or opportunities — the interviewer mentioned? Or perhaps her personal love for llamas, or the Boston Bruins? Whatever it is, stay on their radar by providing value. If you see an interesting article as the decision-making process is unfolding, send it along with a note reminding them how much you enjoyed the conversation and that after talking with them, you're even more interested in joining the team.
Follow these seven steps, and — no matter how tight the job market around you — a good marketing job will soon be yours.

Robert Pattinson, Viggo Mortensen would be great together: David Cronenberg
The 69-year-old has worked with Mortensen in a number of films, and with Pattinson for the first time on "Cosmopolis".
"Viggo and I are kindred souls. We love each other in a very personal way and we keep in touch all the time. Rob is a lot younger but I believe him when he says that he wants to do something else with me," contactmusic.com quoted Cronenberg as saying.
"He (Pattinson) and Viggo would be great in a movie together. They'd get along fantastically and the energy between them would be fantastic," he said.

His wishes to avenge his fallen countrymen by finishing off this helpless enemy but the gods won't allow it (as conveyed to him through a spirit bird).

Robert Fisk: Egyptian icon I made fun of was right all along
The old man's voice is scathing, his mind like a razor, that of a veteran fighter, writer, sage, perhaps the most important living witness and historian of modern Egypt, turning on the sins of the regime that tried to shut him up forever.
"Mubarak betrayed the republican spirit -- and then he wanted to continue through his son Gamal," he says, finger pointed to heaven. "It was a project, not an idea; it was a plan. The last 10 years of the life of this country were wasted because of this question, because of the search for inheritance -- as if Egypt was Syria, or Papa Doc and Baby Doc in Haiti."
At 87, Mohamed Heikal is the doyen, the icon of Egyptian journalism, friend and adviser and minister to Nasser and to Sadat, the one man who has predicted for 30 years the revolution that he has, amazingly, lived to see.

Seton Hall vs. Villanova - 1/20/16 College Basketball Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Villanova Wildcats (16-2) at Seton Hall Pirates (13-4)
College Basketball: Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 9:00 pm (Prudential Center)
The Line: Seton Hall Pirates +7 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
TV: CBS Sports Network
The 4th ranked Villanova Wildcats will travel to the Prudential Center to take on the Seton Hall Pirates this Wednesday afternoon in College Basketball action.
The 4th ranked Villanova Wildcats won their 8th straight game and improved to 16-2 (6-0 Big East) on the season after defeating the Georgetown Hoyas, 55-50, this past Saturday. Villanova was able to build up a double-digit lead in the 2nd half but had to rely on their defense and FT's in the 2nd half to pick up the win. Villanova shot 38.3% from the field and just 16.7% (3-18) from beyond the arc. The Wildcats held the Hoyas to 32.7% shooting from the field and forced Georgetown to commit 13 turnovers. Leading the way for Villanova was Josh Hart who had a double-double with 15 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, and a block. On the season, the Wildcats have been led by Josh Hart (15.5 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 1.3 spg), Ryan Arcidiacono (12.7 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 4.5 apg, 1.4 spg), and Daniel Ochefu (10.1 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 1.8 bpg). Offensively, Villanova is averaging 75.8 ppg on 46.6% shooting from the field and 31.2% shooting from beyond the arc. The Wildcats average 8.2 three-pointers per game and have an assist/turnover ratio of 1.49. Defensively, Villanova is holding their opponents to 60.0 ppg on 37.7% shooting from the field. The Wildcats average 6.8 steals per game and have a turnover margin of 3.6.
USA TODAY Sports
The Seton Hall Pirates snapped their two-game losing streak and improved to 13-4 (3-2 Big East) on the season after defeating the 12th ranked Providence Friars, 81-72, this past Saturday. Seton Hall was able to build a 38-28 halftime lead and able to hold of Providence to pick up the big win. Seton Hall shot 48.3% from the field and outrebounded Providence by a 50-36 margin. The Pirates held the Friars to 30.1% shooting from the field and 20.0% (5-25) from beyond the arc. Leading the way for Seton Hall was Isaiah Whitehead who had 15 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. On the season, the Pirates have been led by Isaiah Whitehead (15.1 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 4.5 apg, 1.1 bpg), Khadeen Carrington (14.5 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 2.4 apg, 1.5 spg), and Desi Rodriguez (11.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 1.6 spg). Offensively, Seton Hall is averaging 73.9 ppg on 44.7% shooting from the field and 33.5% shooting from beyond the arc. The Pirates average 5.5 three-pointers per game and have an assist/turnover ratio of 0.93. Defensively, Seton Hall is holding their opponents to an average of 65.9 ppg on 40.0% shooting from the field. The Pirates average 4.5 blocks per game and 7.4 steals per game.
The Wildcats are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 Wednesday games and 23-7 ATS in their last 30 games following a ATS loss. The Pirates are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
Villanova looks to be the team to beat in a very tough Big East conference as they are a well-rounded team that is especially good on the defensive end. Seton Hall was able to get a key win on the road against Providence and have one of the best point-guards in the Big East in Isaiah Whitehead who can beat you in a variety of ways. Villanova suffered a loss at Seton Hall last year and as the Wildcats have shown that they can struggle on offense for extended periods of time, I think the Pirates will be able to at worst keep this one within the number. I'm taking Seton Hall and the points.

Facebook's 'Free Basics' service shut down in Egypt
Cairo: Social networking giant Facebook's free basics initiative service that provides limited free Internet access was suspended in Egypt after a permit required from the government was not renewed.
According to Reuters, telecom carrier Etisalat Egypt had only been granted a permit to offer the service for two months and the service was suspended after it expired.
The news comes the week after India's telecom regulator TRAI ordered the suspension of Free Basics as it prepares to hold public hearings on net neutrality.
Facebook's partner in Egypt, telecom carrier Etisalat Egypt, began providing Free Basics service two months ago, and Facebook says more than 3 million people in Egypt have signed up. Of those 3 million, Facebook says 1 million received access to the internet for the very first time.
Facebook confirmed the shut down in Egypt to the Associated Press, stating "we're disappointed that Free Basics will no longer be available in Egypt. More than 1 million people who were previously unconnected had been using the Internet because of these efforts."
Meanwhile, in India, the premier Indian Institute Technology (IIT) and Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have criticised the social networking giant Facebook's free basics initiative labelling it as "flawed" and "misleading".
The service was suspended in India last week.
The service, called Free Basics, is part of Facebook's Internet.org initiative that aims to bring internet access to developing nations.

Interview featuring Very Different Animals
April 19, 2015
The Poetry Foundation interviews Fact-Simile Editions' JenMarie McDonald about Very Different Animals.
"Very Different Animals is a very different way of representing the relationship between painting and poetry than one typically sees. … To us, the poem and the painting finish one another's thoughts or say what the other cannot say due to the limits of their medium. "

Playing in the studio
September 08, 2013
"Playing" in the studio often leads to wonderful results. So far, I really love the addition of saturated COLOR to my handmade paper, as well as incorporating text. The results are below. All images are watercolor and sumi ink on stretched handmade flax paper, 12″ x 10 1/2″, except "Ornamented" which is 7″ x 7 1/2″.

It always surprises me how much a painting can change, even when you think you are simply repainting 'exactly' the same image on the same surface. How much could it change, really? But each time I do it, I come back to Vija Celmins writing about her experience of repainting the same image on the same surface over and over again, how the surface changes subtly each time, and with each layer of paint, the depth of light becomes more pronounced.
Well this "Seed Pod" has only been painted twice, but I feel pretty pleased with its change in depth and clarity.
Unfortunately, I don't have a 'before' pic at the moment…
