Photo: Courtesy of Katie Hafner While I focused on unpacking the household boxes, Cheryl went at Matt's things in the garage. Over the years the boxes had crumpled, and that bothered her. She wanted to honor him, and bent boxes simply wouldn't do. She washed and folded all the clothes (some had actually collected mold), then repacked everything into uniform, labeled boxes.
And then she left. With her gone, I felt unmoored, unsure where to start. Cheryl weighed in by phone with some wisdom that would become my main guidepost: "You don't even have to think about what Zoë might like. Think about what Matt might want Zoë to know about him, or what you want her to know about him." Zoë, for her part, claimed not to care. "Mom, I don't remember him. Why would I want his old stuff?" But I chose to ignore her, and decided that someday she would cherish some of these things as much as I did: Matt's blue and gold Cal ties; his favorite T-shirts; photographs, sketches, and paintings. And, of course, the down jacket. Cheryl suggested I start with something impersonal, perhaps old college papers. Good idea, I said, and we hung up. I went out to the garage, pulled down one of the boxes labeled documents, and began digging through it, a recycling bag at my side. Mediocre grade on a political science paper? Not necessary. But his senior thesis from Hampshire College? Keep it. Then, a third of the way down into the box, I came upon a bundle of letters—dozens of romantic missives from a parade of ex-girlfriends, postmarked Los Angeles, Amherst, Connecticut, Boston, and Austin. I tried not to read them but got sucked in. There was one ardent marriage proposal, and a fraught reference to an abortion. I flinched. I had known about these women, had even become friends with two of them. But who was Nikki? And why would I want Zoë to see these? I threw them into the recycling bag. Then I grew disgusted with myself. Here I stood in a San Francisco garage, editing Matt's life, destroying evidence that other women had loved him, and that he had loved them back. I stopped for the day and went into the house. That night, my sister-in-law called, and I told her about the letters. She offered this: "The only relationship with a woman Zoë really needs to know about is his relationship with you." She was right. Early the next morning, I started again. I dug the letters out of the recycling bag, put them into their own box and decided that someday—not now, but sometime in the near future—I would get in touch with the women and offer to send them. The next box I opened was far easier to deal with. I discovered things I hadn't known, or had forgotten: As a teenager, Matt had served on a search committee for a school superintendent in Amherst. In 1976 he had applied for a White House internship. Just as I was working my way to the bottom of that box, Zoë poked her head into the garage. She was all attitude. "Why are you wasting your time?" she demanded. Before I had a chance to answer, she spied his passes from the 1984 and 1988 Democratic National Conventions. Her eyes lit up. She wanted to keep them. What a cool dad she had! Then she saw a photo of him from the early '80s, picked it up, and disappeared. Ten minutes later, she returned. "Mom, look at this." She held it up alongside a recent shot of herself. The resemblance between the man in his early 20s and our child of 16 was absolutely eerie. She tacked up the photos side by side on her bulletin board. For the next month, the garage became my second home. Every day, I got up early to do more sorting. The job got easier as I went. I was developing a sense for what might really matter to Zoë—and to him. I found another box of letters, many from Matt's parents. And he had saved every letter I had written to him over the years, even when we weren't speaking. (When we were teenagers I had broken up with him, and he was crushed. Years later he explained that he had always assumed we would spend our lives together; the shock of the breakup had made him angry and silent.) He had never responded to those letters, and I was sure he'd thrown them away. But he hadn't. And then there were all the letters and faxes I had sent him after we got back together. One postcard I sent on his birthday in 1992, shortly after we reunited. On the front was a photo of a dozen or so antique Steiff teddy bears, staring at the camera with their little button eyes the way small children often do. I had clearly been fantasizing about what our children might look like: "Will they be like this?" I wrote on the back of the card. "Blonde hair and brown eyes? I hope so. Happy birthday, dear Matthew. You're right. Life is long. And big. Isn't it?" We were both wrong. Life might have been big, but it wasn't long. At least not for him. I took the postcard and all my other letters to him and added them to a box I have always kept near my bed, containing all his letters to me. Cheryl advised me to move on to the art pieces. Matt's work was wildly various—sketches in charcoal, or chalk—and he often painted on large canvases, which I had been moving around with Zoë and me for years. (Couldn't he have done miniatures?) My favorites I give a place of pride on my walls. But most have remained in storage. Cheryl was particularly tough about the art. "You don't have the luxury of having a Museum of Matt," she said. "And even if you did, would you want to?" Well, yes, perhaps I would. Each piece was a window into his mood—light, whimsical drawings in the good times, dark silhouettes of people on bridges in the bad. He was especially prolific in 1989, the year his older brother died of melanoma. How could I discard any of that? I had an idea. I hauled everything inside and up to my bedroom. Zoë sat on the bed while I held up every piece and let her decide whether to keep it. Often my tough little critic shook her head. But if something resonated for her, she quickly knew that too: She softened, her eyes twinkled, and she said, "Let's keep that." Next came the clothing. Cheryl instructed me to pick out some things I might wear and send the rest to Goodwill. And I did: a shirt or two here, a T-shirt there. But why had I saved every single pair of boxers? The reality of eight years having passed hit me straight in the stomach when I picked up a pair and discovered the elastic was shot. They expanded but didn't contract. I set one pair aside and put the rest into a garbage bag. I had always loved wearing Matt's clothes—especially his sweaters. After he died, I kept a couple in my dresser to wear when I wanted comfort. I found another half-dozen in boxes. I kept them all. By the end of my time in the garage, I had winnowed my way through everything. The palimpsest of Matt's life is now condensed into a tidy handful of boxes for Zoë to keep someday. She might have started out indifferent to her father's possessions, but I could tell now that, when the time came to take them, she would do so happily. In the course of the clothes sorting, Zoë latched on to one of the sweaters, a blanket of a garment as nubby and soft as an old Steiff teddy bear. She wears it sometimes, and her chestnut hair, which is really just a long version of Matt's, flows down her back, blending into the blondish-brown wool. And whenever I see her in that sweater, I think that maybe life is long after all. More O: The power of friendship over grief From the March 2010 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

To Make a Long Peace Corps Reunion Story Short
By Jonathan Pearson on Wednesday, June 13th, 2012
Webster's dictionary defines the word reunite as "to bring together again." But it's not that simple when it comes to the Peace Corps community. Just as the languages we learned during our service often carried a precision which unfolded the deeper complexities of an object or experience, the same can be said when we start sharing our stories of reunion.
A key element of Find the 250K, our effort to find all Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) and former staff, is to bring our community together. You can't be reunited if you aren't connected. One of the most enjoyable parts of our work at the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) is helping to facilitate and sharing our stories of reunion.
In its most basic form, there's the coming together of fellow volunteers from the same country and era of service. Last year's 50th anniversary and upcoming fifty year celebrations in individual countries continue to spark these reunions, among them an historic gathering of Iran RPCVs and the return of Colombia I volunteers to their training site. Last summer's Smithsonian Folklife Festival provided opportunities for RPCVs to gather by country, as did the many celebrations during NPCA's 50th anniversary celebration last September.
Of equal note are the poignant, lifetime connections between the U.S. volunteer and those they worked with. One of the most memorable in the recent past was the 2010 reunion of RPCV Roberta Rabinoff and Sierra Leone Deputy Chief of Mission Ibrahim Conteh. Our ongoing commitment to service continues to provide countless opportunities for inspiring encounters, such as one that occurred at the 2010 annual meeting of the Friends of Cote D'Ivoire.
A local friendship was enhanced during a 2006 NPCA stop in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. As a small group gathered in a local restaurant, an RPCV looked up with surprise as one of his local friends entered the room. "What are you doing here?" he exclaimed. She asked him the same question. While friends for a number of years, this was the first time the two realized they both served in the Peace Corps! In more urban areas, regular opportunities to connect present themselves, like a recent gathering in Orlando, or in dozens of other cities that are home to NPCA member groups. Our coming together can also serve as a catalyst for host country national connections, such as one that occurred two years back in Peoria, Illinois.
We increasingly come together through the workplace. It can be the type of work, such as smallpox eradication, or a place of work, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is noteworthy that the dozens of EPA RPCVs – moved by their shared experience – have recently been approved as the newest NPCA member group!
All reunions carry a degree of reflection, remembrance, and emotion. In the recent past, perhaps none so unforgettable as the 50th anniversary celebrations at the University of Michigan. Perhaps none more moving than the spiritual connection achieved by RPCV Gordon Radley.
Please Share Your Story!
In the comments section below, share your story of reunion past, present, or future. Share a few sentences or more if you wish. Why are these connections we have so lasting, meaningful and rewarding. Imagine the power of these connections, if we all come together!

When I completed my Peace Corps service in Zaire in 1987, I left behind many friends, including the family of my school's Principal. His wife, Marie,and I were very close. I wrote letters every year after leaving, knowing that there was very little opportunity for them to be returned. Last March, I got an e-mail from the editor of WorldView magazine saying, "Is this you?" Attached was an e-mail that took my breath away. This is a long, beautiful story, but the short version is that Marie's youngest daughter grew up hearing stories about Miss Patricia and how much her mother missed me. They had moved and weren't getting my letters anymore. As a little girl, this daughter said, "Mommy, when I grow up, I will find her for you." Edith, who is now married and living in Washington State, searched for 7 years, knowing only my maiden name, and it was through WorldView magazine that we finally connected. I was then able to speak to Marie on the phone, a true joy after 24 years! Thank you, NPCA and WorldView!

I served in Sierra Leone, as an education volunteer, 1973-76. Due to the war in Sierra Leone in the 1990s, several of my former language instructers have ended up in Houston. One day, I went to a new church, and there two of the ladies were. We have remained very close here as the years have passed. I am invited to all "family" events. What touches me is how I am always introduced to new Sierra Leonian faces by first my name, but secondly as a Peace "Corpse" teacher. Inevitably, I am thanked for all of our services and treated to stories & memories of volunteers at their own schools or in their own villages. Just as they stay in our minds forever, we too are never forgotten.

I am a RPCV from Guatemala 1988. I lost all communication with friends I made, including my supervisor. When a volunteer was going to Guatemala 3 years ago,I gave her all information I had about the supervisor. She found them and today I am in communicati0on with the supervisor's son who was a lad when I left and gave him my talking teddy. He is a grown man in University and we communicate often. His dad died but his mother remembers me. It was wonderful after all these years to pass photos.

A Short History of Brazil (Amazon) Pará Ag Coops, 1969-72
In July 1969 a group of 35 young Peace Corps Trainees came together in El Centro, California. After 12 weeks "training" in Portuguese, accounting, principles of cooperativism, cultural awareness and irrigated rice production, a reduced ("self-selected") number of the group moved on to Belém, Pará to continue with 5 additional weeks of in-country training. At the end of this period, 12 of the origninal 35 trainees, were sworn in as Peace Corps Volunteers and sent out to their sites throughout the State of Pará. The majority worked in Agricultural Coops and a few taught irrigated rice production. Volunteers lived in places like Santarem, Ourem, Santa Isabel, Guama, Garrafaõ, Saõ Pedro and Bragança. The training experience and the subsequent two years living and working in Brazil's Amazon changed the lives of all the volunteers forever. They formed a special bond that has lasted through the years. Many married Brazilians. Some still live and work in Brazil. Each is successful in his own way.
Our small group has held 9 reunions since finishing our tour in Brazil. We will hold reunion number 10 in Albuquerque, N.M. in June 2013. You can find anecdotes and stories of our experience at the link above.

Video News: Legislation Affecting the Numismatic Industry
By CoinWeek on April 18, 2011 2:51 PM
Eloise Ullman, Executive Director of ICTA (INDUSTRY COUNCIL FOR TANGIBLE ASSETS) discusses legislative efforts important to the numismatic industry, including Chinese Counterfeits.
ICTA is the national trade association for all who have an interest in precious metals, rare coins, US and foreign currency, and other numismatic and tangible assets.
ICTA works to prevent laws and regulations that would interfere with dealers ability to do business and/or are excessively burdensome. ICTA also is proactive in proposing laws that would benefit the hobby and business. Equally important, ICTA educates dealers on compliance with certain laws and regulations. Much of their work pertains to issues of taxation and other IRS regulations. In their work with certain government agencies, they sometimes obtain critical clarifications specific to the industry that are only available through ICTA.

Our last full day of walking. Another beautiful day so we went to the high walk we missed out on on Monday. This time there was no mistaking it - the few clouds that were there were high enough not to bother us. We walked up a ski run to a saddle and then climbed 4 peaks to have lunch then returned down the hill. It was only 6 km in total and 300m in absolute height ...
... lots of junk and lots of beautiful glass stuff but nothing we could really transport home. We walked through all the aisles anyway and then we went to the famous dragon bridge (the dragons guard the entrance to the city) for a few photos. From here the next place we wanted to visit was the hilltop castle but rather than going straight there we decided to walk along the rest of the river bank as it was really sunny here and really pretty. It was lined with trees and old school ...
So sad to leave
... the cooks weren't Asian, but the dishwasher was. Sigh. Then we walked around for a while, just sightseeing. We saw the dragon bridge which has a statue of the dragon killed by Jason (yes, the one who got the golden fleece and didnt get the girl) in a swamp near the town. Then we stopped by a little dessert bar and had some good desserts. Ai had some type of mousse in a cup with orange jam in it, Dad had apple strudel, Mom had orange cake and Alex had four little ...
Ridin' Solo
... out of (except most of them were closed for some reason), the town hall and another church called Cathedral of St. Nicholas. This cathedral I was able to go into. Like all the other cathedrals in Europe it was very eloquent, large and beautiful. There was also and outdoor market nearby which I walked through that had a lot of hand-crafted items and foods. I bought my thimble there which has a hand-painted design.
Next, I decided to walk up to the castle. It was a ...
Touring Slovenia
So today the Girls, Ricco (dog), and I drove 50 km to Bled, one of Slovenia's most beautiful lake. I swear I've seen more clear water during this trip than my whole life put together and today was no different. I took a nice little row boat out to Bled Island home of the Church of Mary the Queen. The short trip provided a beautiful view of Bled's castle (it seems everywhere in slovenia has a castle) perched a ...

New Bill Allows Online License Renewals
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa drivers will be able to renew their driver's licenses online under a bill signed into law by the governor.
Gov. Terry Branstad signed the bill Wednesday. It allows drivers between 18 and 72 to renew their driver's licenses through the state Department of Transportation's website without passing a vision test. The bill also extends the time licenses are valid from five years to eight years. Drivers previously could only renew their license at a county treasurer or DOT office. Branstad says the law will save Iowa residents time. Iowa Department of Transportation Director Paul Trombino stood with the governor Wednesday and called the measure a top priority. He says the new online system will be available this summer. Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language.

I think the concept is great. And the e-mailing it self works great. But the security behind having the public e-mail you, really dictates using Captcha. Which seems to work if it is in the middle section, and pushing all the tabs below the screen. But finding out it works to the right, tabbed with the status of the member, it did, but it seemed to break the captcha for the CB Wall that Nat created. So since it doesn't work in the tab section with the rest of my CB profile plugins, and seemed to break the Wall entry using Captcha, Average is about all I can give it. I did go to the website and look for a place to get assistance, but no forum option was available.
Overall, a really great idea, and wish I could use it, but still has a couple of bugs.

"Love the cards I ordered, but I was unimpressed with the packaging (or lack of) that they came in. I would have liked a box or at least a plastic sleeve to keep the cards in."
"These thank you cards are very beautiful. They are printed on nice, thick paper. The printing looks wonderful too. These match the invitations perfectly. I am very satisfied with my purchase."
"These cards come in a beautiful sage green color with pink accents. Our shower had a bird theme so I used these as thank you notes. The paper was of heavy quality with a smooth finish-- high quality and a great choice."
"Was looking for something after my baby shower, since the theme was birds thought this was a great find. Being able customize the card was an added bonus. Paper is top quality and graphics were right on."
"I used this as the thank you card for my baby shower. Instead of having my name in the bottom right corner, I had it say "Thank You". The cards are simple, tasteful, and provide a lot of room for writing personal notes. They were perfect for a baby girl's shower."

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates
After opening the season with two losses to the Red Sox, the Yankees won their first game of the season the "old" fashioned way. Two long-time Yankees locked down the win as Andy Pettitte threw eight fantastic innings leading to Mariano Rivera's first save of the year. If the Yankees want to pick up wins this weekend in Detroit, they will have to rely on their young pitchers to get the job done.
The last time we saw the Yankees play the Tigers was last year's American League Championship. A fairly routine sweep by the Tigers and the Yankees were history. Nothing in that series went right for the Pinstripes as their best hitters went ice cold and were overmatched by a talented Tigers team.
Heading into Mo-Town this weekend, the Yankees have a chance to get a measure of revenge on the reigning American League champs. Ivan Nova takes the mound in the opener and David Phelps will get the ball on Saturday. Both of these young arms need to be strong to start the season as much of the offensive power on this team remains on the disabled list. Staff ace, CC Sabathia will get the start on Sunday to close the series in what will be a great pitching duel as he faces Justin Verlander.
Verlander and the Tigers struggled in their opening series against the Twins, only winning Opening Day (Verlander start). They have scored eight runs in three games, as they wait for their offense to click. Before we see the Sabathia – Verlander showdown, the Tigers will send Doug Fister and Max Scherzer to the mound.
Manager Jim Leyland has been trying to patch together his bullpen without Jose Valverde – who the team just re-signed yesterday. Different bullpen arms have been tested in late innings but they haven't made an impact on the manager to warrant the closer job. Phil Coke, Al Alburquerque and Joaquin Benoit will all take turns until Valverde joins the team.
Cano leads the Yankee offense into Detroit
Tiger pitchers will face a line up much different then what they saw in last year's playoffs. With the majority of those players hurt (Jeter, Rodriguez, Granderson and Tiexeira) and others on different teams (Raul Ibanez, Russell Martin), the current lineup will have to get the job done. A lot of the pressure falls on Robinson Cano, who had major issues at the plate last postseason only hitting .075 in 40 plate appearances. It's hard to imagine Cano struggling like that ever again, so this weekend I expect him to hit the Tigers hard.
In the other dugout, the Tigers basically have the same lineup that knocked the Yankees out of the playoffs last year. Lead by the reigning American League MVP (and Triple Crown Winner) Miguel Cabrera, the Tigers offense is ready to pounce. With slugger Prince Fielder and speedster Austin Jackson, it is only a matter of time before the wheels start spinning and the Tigers offense produces big numbers.
If the Yankees want to leave Detroit with a few more wins they will need to contain the Tigers offense and get their lineup to do something they couldn't do last October against Detroit; hit the ball and score runs. With a team average of only .188 in the whole playoffs, the Yankees hitters can only do better this time around.
I look for both offenses to heat up as the weather gets a bit warmer this weekend. The uncertainty of the Tigers late-game bullpen could surface as a major issue in this series that could leave the door open for the Yankees to attack. Hopefully we won't have to wait until the late innings to see the Yankees offense (i.e. last postseason- thanks to Ibanez).
The first two games of the weekend set will be a showcase of young arms as Nova, Phelps, Fister and Scherzer all look to get their 2013 campaigns started in the right direction as we all await the Sabathia – Verlander match on Sunday.
Everyone enjoy your weekend, and enjoy the games. Remember we are only in the first weekend of the season- don't jump ship yet reinforcements will be coming shortly.

Researchers at Dartmouth have access to High Performance Computing (HPC) resources including the Discovery cluster and Linux compute servers with licensed mathematics and statistical applications, compilers, debuggers and sciientific libraries. Research computing provides data storage for researchers and Linux support for private research workstations.
Discovery is a 2200 processor Linux RedHat 6.5 cluster that is available to the Dartmouth research community. The discovery support team provides consulting on debugging, optimizing and parallelizing code and will install additional application software if requested.
Andes is a shared memory computer (SMP) with 12 cores (24 threads), 64-bit Intel processors, and 96 GB of memory. It runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and is mostly used to run statistical packages and scientific applications which need large amounts of memory and scratch space. 2.8 TB of fast scratch space is available. Authentication uses RStor usernames and passwords, and home directories are in RStor (shared with other systems). Accounts are available to all faculty, staff and graduate students, plus sponsored accounts on request. Access is by SSH (remote login) from on-campus only.
Polaris is a shared memory computer (SMP) with 40 cores, 64-bit Intel processors, and 1 Terabyte of memory, running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5. It is used to run computationally intensive such as mathematica and statistical applications. It can be used to run programs that require a lot of shared memory. It has 5 TB of local scratch space available. Authentication uses RStor usernames and passwords, and home directories are in RStor. Accounts are available to all faculty, staff and students, plus sponsored accounts on request. Access is by SSH (remote login) from on-campus only.
Caligari is a web server which delivers pages directly from Dartmouth's AFS cell (RStor) and augments the Research Computing home pages. It can be used for delivering home pages from AFS accounts, available to all members of the Dartmouth Community.

Why oh why... Whenever I'm around Chelsey it's like I fall under a horrible, inexplainable spell. And that spell, no matter how horrible or confusing it may seem, stirs the most wonderful, intense, and beautiful feelings I've ever experienced.She's so intoxicating.I don't know why, but I can't help it. I can't help but admit to myself that I'm still completely, madly, and ridiculously in love with her. And it's taken enough courage to admit that to myself, much less post *anything* like this on my LiveJournal for the world to see...for her to see. -_-Heh, the only thing I can do is laugh at it all. Laugh at how hard I've tried to get over her for the past few months...laugh at how the harder I try to fall out of love, the more it sucks me in...laugh at how my feelings for her toss me around like a pathetic, weak ragdoll. But she's so intoxicating.Honestly, truthfully, it's impossible for me to hate her, or hold any amount of animosity toward her at all. Virtually impossible. Heh.Like Rag said a few days ago, "you're still hooked on that Chelsey chick? She likes to rip your heart out and throw it at things." I had to snicker at that, because it is partially true...or used to be. I mean, she never intentionally did that, but it still happened...a lot.But now I've sworn off all feelings for her in public. I've told everyone, including her, that I've grown out of loving her, and I'll never go back. That is so far from the truth. LOL. And even though by telling her that, I loosened up all the anxiety and tension between the two of us, I now have to bottle up my true feelings, and hope they die of asphyxiation. -_- It's horrible...but necessary, I suppose. Because as much as I would like it for she and I to work out, I don't think we'll ever be able to. I don't think she'll ever share my feelings... And that really, really, really sucks, but as long as I can be close to her, and be the most important person in her life...then I'll survive.Like I said, she's so intoxicating. The Perfect Drug. She's totally like a drug, heh. I try to quit, and I succeed...temporarily. But as soon as I get near the drug, I'm hopelessly addicted once again. And I'm not going to pretend I hate it. I love it. I love her. And I can't live without her. Just like an addict can't live without their drug.Every embrace, every word, every touch, every moment she pays remote attention to me is complete euphoric ecstasy. It's like...when I look into her eyes, everything is okay. As cliched as that sounds, it's true. I could drown myself in her eyes, and die a peaceful, satisfying death. She could be fat, anorexic, ugly, beautiful, anything. She could have no legs, no arms, handicapped, anything at all. I would still love her. As long as I can stare into her eyes and hear her soothing, soft voice, I will always love her. And I will always be willing to do absolutely anything for her. If she asked me to take my own life, take someone else's, die a horrible, painful, fiery death just for her, I would do so in the blink of an eye. If she walked up to me one day and slit my throat, my last words would be apologizing for bleeding on her... Being around her is like wandering into a dream. I can't believe I've ever even thought of messing up the already wonderful relationship we have. I can't believe I've ever intentionally crossed her, or made her feel one ounce of sadness. I curse, curse, curse myself a thousand times over for that. And frankly, I'm never going to do it again. I can gaurantee you that.I sound like such an obsessed goon right now... LOL. I think this is the first time I've really put into words how much she means to me, and how much I love her. I'm sick of pretending, though. I'm sick of acting like I'm over her, and have moved on. No more games. No more. I can't lie to myself, or try to force myself to do something that is so opposite of what I truly feel. I just can't do it anymore. That's where all the pain is coming from in the first place. It's not Chelsey; it's my inability to be true to my own feelings and accept them for what they are.Maybe she will read this one day. Maybe she will stumble upon this distant, obscure journal I only post things I mean for no one to read. Maybe one day she'll read this, and realize she loves me, too. What a fairytale ending that'd be. ^_^But one can only dream. And dreaming is what I'll do. Because being around Chelsey is like living a dream. And I wouldn't have it any differently.I love her more than anything...more than anything.And that's all I have left to say. I feel a lot better now that I've laid it all out on the table. Even though I'm still scared to have finally admitted it, I'm glad I could gather the courage to finally say something about it.But I'm off to bed now. To contemplate these words and think of...well, everything. But if you happen to be reading this, Chelsey, no matter if it's tomorrow or five years from now, always remember that I love you. Chelsey, I love you more than life itself. And I'll always strive to make your life better. Always remember that.

This series shows one of her better recalls.
"yeah mom?"
Today it was finally sunny and warm enough to spend some time at the park. We worked a few recalls, L2 sits, L2 downs, and lots of L2 loose leash walking. Both girlies did well on everything except recalls were really quite weak. So we will definitely be working on the L1 come game over the next while. It is hard w/ Maizey since she can't be running around too much.
This series shows one of her better recalls. "Maizey!"
"yeah mom?" It's true dog training in not something new in our house, but recently we started the Training Levels program by Sue Ailsby. There will be many more details to come, but for today an example in the Levels effectiveness. One important skill for any dog to have is to know what they can have and when they can have it. Enter the common 'leave it' command. In the Levels program 'leave it' is covered under the skill called Zen. In short it means teaching the 4legged one to have self control. A valuable lesson no doubt, no matter how many legs you have!LOL Due to the small amount of training we had done w/ 'leave it' Maizey's response was to simply sit down next to whatever undesirable thing she should be turning away from it. So on good advice from the folks who know so much about the Levels I started over following the steps in level 1 Zen and since she had the basic concept she shaped a better 'leave it' quickly. Tonight she showed me just how well she understood. I was eating an orange, something she LOVES, and she was sitting on my lap, but started getting too close to my food. One 'leave it' and she started to insistently try to jump down. Due to her recent knee surgery she isn't allowed to jump right now so I kept stopping her. But she obviously wanted down so I put her down. Where she immediately took about 3 steps back from me and sat down and looked at me with the "see? I did just what you said, where the heck is my treat?" look.LOL Due to a turn for the worse w/ her knee we really haven't trained the last two days but the levels help them be so reliable! I'm so pleased to have this great info to teach her! Capturing "In the game" Go To Mat Leave It Lumping Luring Park It Reactivity in dogs Shaping Splitting Threshold Training Session Zen |

The Poem (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
"San Ildefonso Nocturne," written in free verse, is divided into four stanzas of unequal length. Octavio Paz once again uses punctuation, a practice that he had abandoned in previous books. He also returns to the circular form he introduced so successfully in 1957 in Piedra de sol (Sun Stone, 1963). "San Ildefonso Nocturne" begins with the poet viewing through the window of his room a garish display of neon advertising in an unnamed city. Parts 2 and 3 move into the narrator's past as a boy in Mexico City, and part 4 closes with the poet once again in his room watching the neon advertisements flashing in the night. In Sun Stone, the same six lines open and close the poem; in "San Ildefonso Nocturne," a similar effect is achieved through the repetition of a scene—the poet at the window.
In his hotel room, the narrator sees the neon lights of advertisements spray the blackness of his window. Preoccupied as always by communication, he connects the advertising signs with the syllable clusters he is putting down on his page. The words turn into ants; there is a tunnel that will lead him somewhere. "What does it [the night] want?" he asks at the conclusion of part 1.
The night wishes to summon him to Mexico City in the year 1931, when he would have been seventeen. Squinting lights contrast with the neon glare of part 1. Pockets of characteristic poverty greet his eyes; children cover themselves with...

Forms and Devices (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
Paz achieves his circular structure by means of many devices. Not only does the scene remain the same, but also the vocabulary duplicates itself. The poem commences with an unusual use of the verb "to invent": "In my window night/ invents another night." A few lines later, the city "invents" the lights, and in part 4, the sleeping wife "invents herself." This motif contributes to the circular motion of the poem. Paz also reprises metaphors and sometimes translates them. What were "Sign-seeds" in the city's night window are flatly stated at the closure of the poem to be part of the "commercial sky." The "high-voltage calligraphy" of the first scene goes through the stage of "squinting lights" in the evocation of the poet's adolescence to the straightforward description of reality's "commercial sky."
From his reading of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land (1922), Paz learned about allusions and the practice of footnoting them, which he does in the case of the quotations from López Velarde and Nerval. He takes it for granted, however, that his readers will understand the references to Alyosha Karamazov and Julien Sorel. Part 2 contains buried allusions to Eliot's "Burnt Norton" ("galleries of echoes") and The Waste Land ("broken images").
The metaphors that describe the neon lights are especially arresting. Their profusion suggests a convulsed carnival; the endless flickering...

An organization that says it represents Charlotte city workers plans to protest the City Council on Monday, claiming the city has unfair working conditions and unjust compensation policies.
A news release sent Sunday night by email from the Charlotte City Workers Union, chapter of UE150 announced the protest – a month before the Democratic National Convention – at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Government Center, 600 East Fourth St.
However, the City Council was not scheduled to meet on Monday. Also, though the group called itself the Charlotte City Workers Union and UE 150 is a public service workers union, the city does not engage in collective bargaining with its workers.
Al Locklear, the president of the Charlotte chapter of the union, did not return a phone message seeking comment late Sunday. Kim McMillan, a city spokeswoman, could not be reached late Sunday.
The group also sent an open letter to President Obama, Gov. Bev Perdue and state, national and local Democratic party affiliates. "As the Democratic National Committee continues its preparation for the National Democratic Party Convention in Charlotte … thousands of public sector workers, first responders, and other public service providers in the City of Charlotte and throughout the state of North Carolina are being denied basic and fundamental worker's rights," the letter reads.
Specifically, city workers want a workers' bill of rights, which would guarantee they receive "decent working conditions and be paid a decent wage for their hard work," according to a press release. They also want union representation in grievance hearings and a payroll deduction for workers who choose to join the union.
The open letter says the city consistently engages in unfair disciplinary action, doling out monthlong suspensions for what the union calls minor infractions. It also criticizes the city's compensation policies.
"Wage increases for City workers are kept low or nonexistent while managers and supervisors have been granted thousands of dollars in pay increases and benefits."

August 22, 2012 - How to do you make speakers that offer the best audio quality in terms of output with bass, mids, and highs even better? Make them in gold! At least that's what the folks at Hart Audio believe in. Hart Audio's D&W Aural Pleasure is a loudspeaker that weighs in at 110 lbs. a piece (without the drivers and the stand) and provides pure audio delight! Hart Audio believes in a simple logic ever since they first started producing loudspeakers in 2003 – offer nothing but the best irrespective of the cost. Because when a man wants what he wants, a man wants what he wants!
The D&W Aural Pleasure runs on three speaker drive units, that make this loudspeaker yield the most controlled, well-balanced, clean, and clear audio signal.
The main driver delivers midrange and bass and has a high frequency unit at the center that drives the treble.
The super tweeter extends the bandwidth of this all-embracing speaker to reveal the full potential of the latest high-resolution audio formats.
The low-end frequencies coming out of the speakers are the result of a unique innovation and help control the bass wonderfully and give the music a realism that no other speaker in the sound reproduction universe has ever achieved.
Limited to 99 pairs in Bronze $62,000, 5 pairs in Sterling Silver $313,000, and 1 pair in 100Kg's of 18ct Gold for $4.7 million, you can purchase them right away for a limited time only!
Since there is, inevitably, an ass for every seat, someone will probably buy these. That's too bad...
But as gold continues to rise in value, eventually they might be worth what was spent on them...
But to compare this two-and-a-half-way (there's a super-tweeter), or any two-way, as competition for real state-of-the-art full-range speakers is pretty silly and in the end doesn't do anyone any favors...I love this clueless quote - "and give the music a realism that no other speaker in the sound reproduction universe has ever achieved."
My question is, What universe does Hart Audio exist in?
Steven Stone
Contributor to The Absolute Sound, EnjoytheMusic.com, Vintage Guitar Magazine, and other fine publications
LOL!!! Sounds like the normal reviews of speakers. RH and JV can review these and give us the details. Can't wait:)
It looks like Hart Audio may also have very limited audio design skills...
The main driver in the picture of their gold speaker is the Tannoy dual-concentric speaker, with a tweeter placed in the middle of the woofer so that audio is generated from what appears as a point source. The problem with their design is that they have another tweeter at the top of the speaker - bang goes the point source idea i.e. the whole reason for using the Tannoy driver in the first place!
This appears to be nothing more than a cute-and-paste of a company press release.. for that matter from a company I've never heard of and which (based purely on the picture provided) appears to offer little in the way of design or production skill.
So why is it here? Why not ask the obvious question: why on earth would anyone make a speaker body out of a soft, very expensive metal? Why not at least provide some more pictures of, possibly, the worst-sounding and -looking audio product currently available?
This isn't the kind of content that will keep readers coming back.

A Few Tips for Getting the Most Out Of Your Automobile Accident Insurance Claims
The days and weeks following an accident can be tumultuous at best. But, a little careful planning and meticulous record-keeping can save you a lot of grief down the road. If you feel incapable of performing these tasks early on, then it's important that you get a close friend or family member to help in the early days.
Here's a few things you should do.
Keep careful documentation and contact information of everyone involved in the process. This includes medical staff, those present at the accident, lawyers and legal teams, and your employer. http://www.accidentinjuryexpert.co.uk/ can help you out with this. Keep a precise list of all those involved including their contact information, so when problems arise, you know who to talk to and how to get a hold of them quickly.

Having a log sheet with that file that explains any expenses and receipts that aren't immediately obvious, can save time down the road. And quite often get you a bigger settlement plan.
Do be aware of all your insurance plans. You may have private plans through work and/or school, that you've lost track of our aren't aware of. It makes sense to spend a little bit of time talking with the insurance representative at those institutions to see if you have any additional coverage.

What is the Right Age to Enter Assisted Living
Assisted living centres are not just places for old people to be left and kept till it is time for them to go. Instead, most assisted living centres nowadays offer all forms of activities which stimulate them and keep them active. Additionally, they would also offer the services of third party medical assistants who can help those who have health problems. Counsellors, chiropractors, physicians – all these are just part of the intricate network that make up assisted living facilities.
Basically, there is never the right or wrong age to enter into an assisted living centre. As such, banish all thoughts of nursing homes for the very old and hospices for the terminally ill because these places normally cater to only one sector of people. However, assisted living centres are a far more sophisticated place. They not only assist those who are unable to take care of themselves properly but aid those who might be younger but have chronic diseases which render themselves helpless without assistance from other people.
When it comes to assisted living centres, age really does not matter. It is a place for like minded people to gather, live together and go through another phase in their life. If you are working full time and unable to care for your aged parent, assisted living might be a good alternative. Even if your parent is only in his 50s but has a chronic disease and needs frequent medical attention, being in an assisted living facility will help him greatly.
Do not be overly concerned in terms of the minimum or maximum age to enter assisted living. What you should start researching on is the type of assisted living that you want to send someone to. There are many different branches and types that you should consider. It would also be a very good idea to look at the present inhabitants in the assisted living centre that you want to send your parent to. It would be best if you could find one which is the most suitable for him. After all, you know him best. As such, you would be the best person to make such a decision for him.
Processing of cord blood for modern medicine
An important step which takes place prior to the real freezing is verifying the blood so as to avoid storing blood infected with AIDS/HIV, infant leukaemia, hepatitis or other disorder of blood and genetic conditions. The other safety method is to gather the cord blood just after the birth within fifteen minutes. Before preserving it, the blood is divided centrifugally into its components via a particular apparatus. If this method is not utilized then sedimentation is injected in cord blood, so as to identify it in its substances.
The primary substances of the cord blood are red cell or RBC cells, white blood cells or WBC and plasmatic cells. Indeed, the worthy stem cells are comprised in the while blood cells, therefore the plasma and the red ones are less significant. The cells of while blood develop protective antibodies those are immune to different types of germs and their usefulness in medicines is extremely complex. Actually, the stem cells are those kind of cell that have the capability to identify and splitting in other type of cells and owing to this characteristics, they have the capability to repair different system of the human body.
After identifying the cells, the cells of RBC are separated from the cord blood, since by this means, the scopes of the stems to become compatible with various persons enhance considerably. This is owing to the fact that persons have various kinds of blood, and even if they possess the identical blood needed for the stem transplantation. Apart from these, the red blood cells in the cord blood may affect various parts of the patient, when the transplant continues for the treatment.
A Sense of Responsibility
"I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." – William Henley (1849-1903)
Our lives are only as good as we decide to make them. We should make short and long range plans and then follow them through, reviewing them as we go. It is our design and determination that decide our destiny, and this is our responsibility. When things are not right we should blame nobody, for that only dodges the problems that are our own and that we must fix ourselves. Let's examine our own actions and decide how things will be.
"Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be." – Thomas Kempis (1380-1471)
We should make a special effort to be what we want to be, giving consideration to what others might wish of us. We must do our duties, complete our tasks, be kind and honest.
When there is the temptation for an immediate pleasure that may be harmful to us or to others, we must resist. Where there are injustices we must speak up.
"It is not alone what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable." – Moliere (1622-1673)
We are individuals and should do what we believe in, taking responsibility for our actions. A good critical look at ourselves is very helpful in determining what needs changing. It may also see much good to be proud of.
Not in the clamor of the crowded street,
Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng,
But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.
- Henry Longfellow (1807-1882)

Like MANY others on this site - i ordered a dozen red roses to be delivered to my partners work in Colchester, Essex with the delivery date quoted on my invoice as 14th Feb. I even paid extra for courier delivery (if I'd known it was Yodel I might have changed my mind, but that's another story).
I phoned Yodel at 7pm after being cut off of your live support chat before the operator had even said anything (and judging by the name the live support was in India!). Yodel said the deliveries were late from yourselves and they couldn't deliver until tomorrow (Friday). What use is Valentines flowers A DAY LATE!
I have emailed your support demanding a FULL refund - your customer service is appalling. I shall also be contacting trading standards and the TV watchdogs, and Martin Lewis to tell them about your little company taking money from people and not fulfilling your promises!
Update: Messaged iflorist on Facebook, received a rather standard reply (judging by the amount of complaints this was to be expected) but am still waiting for confirmation that my money will be refunded. They are replying to some of the reviews on here, but not all!
Update 2: Phoned them on 01282 779 198 (press Option 1 for Customer Services) - it takes a while for them to answer (and sounded very busy in the background) but the guy who took my call was polite and apologetic and promised a full refund in 3-5 working days. Doesn't excuse the poor service, and working in Social Media myself, the massive faux pas on deleting peoples comments, but right result in the end.

Google's Nexus 4 Goes $199, Basically a Steal
8/29/2013 by: Anshel Sag
As we continue to near the end of the year and the beginning of September, we are likely going to see a lot of new devices. Possibly, even, a new Nexus phone. This has been rumored for quite some time and almost every time a rumor has popped up, the dates that were rumored came and went. Then, Google
released the Motorola Moto X
and it seemed like that release had taken out most of the air of the majority of the Nexus rumors.
That is, until now. Yesterday, Google decided that they were going to lower the price of the Nexus 4 by $100 US on both the 8GB and 16GB versions. When you consider that these devices have been generally popular with people wanting a quality Google experience without having to pay an arm and a leg, it seems a bit odd that they would drop the price $100. Especially considering that the Nexus 4 with the specs it currently has are already quite impressive for a $299 device, but for $199 the Nexus 4 is basically a steal for anyone on a GSM network.
The real truth is that Google has no reason to sell the Nexus 4 in the 8GB variant for $199 for any other reason than to clear out all of their inventory for a new model. People were still buying the Nexus 4 even at the $299 price because of the pure fact that the device delivered a high performance level at an incredibly affordable price. But at $199 the Nexus 4 is simply a steal and a perfect smartphone to get anyone that wants to upgrade to a smartphone but doesn't want to sign a new contract or pay an arm and a leg. Plus, on a carrier like T-Mobile, your maximum phone bill would be $70 a month since you own your own device.
As Google officially stated
on Twitter
, they were also dropping the price 25% in certain countries where the Nexus 4 is available outside of the US. Admittedly, this isn't as good as the 33% discount on the US version, however, it still makes this phone a fantastic deal for anyone that was on the fence before. Sure, it isn't the latest and greatest hardware, but a Snapdragon S4 quad core processor with stock Android 4.3 will still be snappier than almost any other phone out there.

Objective: This study examined the association between family history of completed suicide and suicidal behavior and other clinical variables in subjects with bipolar disorder.
Method: 374 outpatients aged from 19 to 88 years (mean ± SD age = 41.9 ± 4.1 years) (54.3% female) meeting DSM-IV criteria for bipolar disorder type I or II or schizoaffective disorder, bipolar subtype, were included in the study. Forty-eight subjects with a family history of completed suicide were compared to 326 subjects without a family history of completed suicide regarding several clinical and demographic variables. The study was conducted from 2001 to 2004.
Results: There were no statistically significant demographic differences between bipolar disorder subjects with and without a family history of suicide. Bipolar disorder subjects with a family history of suicide showed higher rates of cluster C personality disorders than subjects without a family history of suicide (14.9% vs. 2.5%, OR = 6.72, 95% CI = 2.31 to 19.51, p <.001). Subjects with a family history of suicide also demonstrated a significantly greater lifetime prevalence of suicide attempts (52.2% vs. 25.5%, OR = 3.19, 95% CI = 1.7 to 6.0, p < .001). Results remained significant after controlling for all possible interactions.
Conclusion: Family history of completed suicide is a significant risk factor associated with suicidal attempts in patients with bipolar disorder. These findings underscore the importance of identifying patients with a family history of suicide in order to provide prompt treatment and careful follow-up.

Maybe Dorian Beige would have been a better title.
Dorian Gray (DVD)
Member Name: magenta23
Dorian Gray (DVD)
Date: 29/09/09
Advantages: Colin Firth, some of the special effects
Disadvantages: Everything else
I'm not a huge film buff and only go to the cinema perhaps four or five times a year. I'm a bit fussy on films and so only once in a while I see a trailer or a poster and think 'I have to go and see that. ' The latest one to fall into the category was Dorian Gray.
Based on 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde, admittedly I have not read this but vaguely knew the story of a young man who never grew old. The film, in the style of it's posters and promotional material gave the impression of it having more than a splash of gothic horror, though the film didn't really live up to the suggestion.
The film tells the story of Dorian Gray, a handsome young man who moves to London into a grand house he has inherited. He instantly becomes a popular figure in social circles largely due to his good looks, captured in a portrait painted of him shortly after his arrival. He becomes great friends with Lord Henry Wotton, who introduces Dorian to the somewhat less respectable London underworld. Encouraging Dorian to live out all he wants to do while he's still young leads him into a life debauchary and violence. The painting is locked away after Dorian realises that he is not ageing, put the painting is. Will anyone find out the secret of his forever youthful looks?
It's a great story and had the potential to be a very good film. Shame then that it just didn't deliver. Ben Barnes, plays the handsome Dorian Gray and whilst very pretty he didn't make me feel anything for the character, in fact I couldn't care less what happened to him. The supporting cast also didn't really engage me at all, other that Colin Firth, who plays Lord Henry. His performance is the only thing that didn't stop me falling asleep or going home early. Delivering Wilde's witty lines to perfection, he provided a few well needed laughs, or I may have cried at the boredom of the whole thing.
Maybe this film would have been better if it wasn't as long, an hour TV drama perhaps. There simply is not enough story. Pretty boy gets a lots of girls, finds out he can't grow old and carries on getting lots of girls (and a few boys), and must make sure no one finds painting. That's it!
I get the idea that he's a bit of a Cassanova, he likes having sex with lots of women just because he can...by the third sex scene, I'd got the idea thanks very much. I'm not a prude but I do think there was far to much sex in this film, to the point where these sequences didn't add anything to the story, but seemed as though they were just filling time. Annoying to me as well is how the whole film is based around the fact that Dorian is so attractive yet most of these scenes focus on the women writhing around. Quite obviously directed by a man.
The special effects on the final scenes where the audience see the aged painting are very good, in fact the final scenes are the best of the film. It's lucky I saw this on the big screen however, because if I was watching this on the television at home I would have turned off long before it got to these.
Overall, thoroughly disappointing. One star for the final scene and one for Colin Firth.
Summary: Yawn.
