Like most Americans of my generation, I looked forward to trick or treating at Hallowe'en for many years. It was fun to get dressed up and wander the neighborhood with a plastic pumpkin, feeling it grow heavier with candy and other treats. And in those days, the treats were wonderful: homemade cookies! Candy apples! Caramel popcorn balls! My mother made these home-made goodies each year, too, and neighborhood kids looked forward to trick or treat at our house.
Hallowe'en was a sensory holiday for me then, and still is. The colorful costume parades, the chill in the air, the crunch of leaves underfoot, juicy apples and home-made doughnuts, the smell of burning leaves and autumn bonfires: these sensual memories mean autumn to me. Walking home from a friend's house in the early darkness, the sight of a tree without its leaves against a violet sky filled me with spooky dread, but also a sense of awe.
And Hallowe'en was always the point when it was clear that winter was really coming: you had to prepare a costume that you could layer with an extra sweater underneath, in case it got cold. On some level the gathering of sweets mirrored the hoarding of nuts by the crazed squirrels scrambling through the fallen leaves. Children dressed as fantastical beings in diaphanous gowns, silvery suits, clothing we'd soon forgo in favor of wooly skirts and itchy pullovers. One last decadent night of hell raising before hibernation! Hallowe'en came one week after my birthday, and it was like celebrating non-stop for a week.
But being a practicing witch means I have a very different perspective on this holiday as an adult. For modern witches, Hallowe'en is known as Samhain, a Scottish term meaning "summer's end" that marks that halfway point between autumn equinox and winter solstice. We also call it Hallows, or sometimes All Souls Night. Growing up a Catholic, I sometimes attended church on All Saints Day, the day after Hallowe'en, and, as a child, didn't quite understand the connection between the two days, and assumed the church held their Mass the day after simply because the night of Hallowe'en was just too busy and who would want to go to church when they could go door to door gathering candy?
These days, I tend to celebrate this feast of the dead in somber and often unusual ways. The coven I work with has an elaborate cycle of rituals beginning in spring and culminating at Samhain with a rite called Harvest Home, in which a young "harvest lord" is symbolically slain by his consort as a sacrificial offering to fertilize the crops and balance the cycle of life, death, and rebirth: the Eternal Return. I have been to large public rituals where guests were invited to speak of their loved ones who had passed over; I have attended vigils that were peaceful and serene, with candles everywhere and plates of food left for the dead and denizens of the Otherworld.
Some witches celebrate this holiday as the Celtic New Year, and do rituals and rites appropriate for new beginnings. This year, Samhain occurs just after the New Moon in the sign of Scorpio, a very portentous timing. The sun has also just entered the sign of Scorpio, a sign associated with death and regeneration. It is said that at Samhain, as at Beltane (May 1st), the "veil between the worlds," or the barrier separating the world of the living from the world of the dead, grows thin and permeable, and allows us to commune with our beloved dead and our ancestors. For this reason many witches and pagans create altars dedicated to their ancestors and dead loved ones, with photos and mementos, favorite foods or flowers.
If you haven't noticed, this holiday has become enormously popular, with the big box stores putting out decorations and supplies as early as Labor Day, and with more and more emphasis on parties, costumes, and decorations, which can mean big business for retailers (a number of whom specialize in Hallowe'en year 'round). Related holidays are receiving more notice too, such as Mexico's Dios de la Muerte ("The Day of the Dead"), and I know a number of witches of European ancestry who decorate sugar skulls with their children. And nearly every television network is showing horror films this month, some of them every night. Is it that our culture is becoming more interested in occult matters generally, a sort of second occult revival? Or are we merely so susceptible to social trends and their trappings that we have no idea why we're so obsessed with the baubles and symbols of death?
Or perhaps, in our yearning for some decadence in the midst of frightening times, we grab hold of outrageous forms of fun. We recall what used to thrill us and delight us as children (horror and sugar), and even if it's about death, it makes us feel alive, and somehow comforted. We occupy our neighborhoods with treats, and flashlights, and gaudy clothes, and glee. And know we'll make it even more fun next year.
And the witches among you (we're there, oh yes), we'll also decorate our doorways with cornstalks and pumpkins, and put candle-lit skulls in our windows. We're staving off the darkness, too.

Like most people, since I was a child, Halloween brings a heady rush of excitement that definitely goes beyond costumes, jack-o-lanterns, and even trick-or-treating for good chocolate.
Year after year, exhilaration sets in as children and parents begin their animated zig-zagging through neighborhoods in the deep dark of night, dressed as something or someone they aren't really, knocking on the doors of perfect strangers, coming face-to-face with the unknown and unseen.
Now, I am aware that some parents and a number of churches are less than enthusiastic about the traditions of this liminal night, and are going so far as to pull their children out of Halloween activities entirely, or are offering "Godly" alternatives. (Heard yet about "Jesus Ween"?)
While some people's claims that Halloween should be assailed as inherently "evil" or "of the devil" and not consistent with Christian values are questionable — both theologically and historically — the real regret here is the opportunity that is lost by missing the point of Halloween.
In pre-Christian, Christian, and now post-Christian times, October 31st has traditionally been a night to name and face our fears, a time to face "the dark" — the dark outside of us, and the dark inside of us.
When we give our children the freedom to take those first steps out into the dark of Halloween night, we are allowing them to learn, first-hand, that the foreboding darkness that will envelop them will not, in fact, consume them.
They learn on their own that, even if they wear a mask of something they think is really scary, they don't actually become that scary thing. In the act of putting on the mask, the scary thing loses much of its power, and the child's own sense of inner power, inner light, and identity is affirmed.
As Halloween comes and goes each year, children slowly and safely wander farther from home, becoming more secure in their growing knowledge that what looks (at first) like something deep, dark, and foreboding can also be full of surprise, delight, and even joy.
The subliminal messages here are positive and healthy ones for our children and for our planet. The world around us, even the world inside each one of us, is neither all evil nor all good, neither all light nor all dark. There is always more than meets the eye.
So, parents banning Halloween night? There is real irony here. Parents forbidding their children (and themselves) this chance to face their fears, telling them instead that they cannot dress up, they cannot go outside in the dark, they cannot trick-or-treat, may actually be promoting fearful messages — that the world is a terrifying place, no one is safe, and we have no power over the inner and outer demons of our lives.
These are messages that perpetuate the dangerously dualistic, black and white, uncompromising way of seeing the world that is polarizing our society today.
But when we shed some light on the dark complexities of Halloween night, even the simple exchange of trick-or-treating can carry an important subtext: at every open door on Halloween night, children and their parents are enacting the universal (and spiritual) principle of giving — namely, that it is good (indeed it is a sign of our inner humanity) that we can willingly open our doors and give generously to complete strangers, even to those who wear masks, making them unrecognizable and frightening to us. There is always more than meets the eye.
Halloween can be as grace-filled as it is black-dark, a night to discover, year after year, that when we venture out into the darkness of the unknown, the night can be beautiful. Others are kind. Evil is actually a lot like a monster mask, and after an exhilarating few hours of exploring the dark, we can always return to the light of home, safe and sound.
And sometimes with a boatload of pretty darn good chocolate.

Winter Solstice. The longest night of the year. The other day I was wondering what it must have been like to be one of the early humans, before there was a body of cultural and scientific knowledge built up to assure us that the light would, indeed, return as we turned the corner on this day and headed once again toward spring. It must have been terrifying to see the sun drop lower and lower in the sky each day and the night grow longer and longer without really knowing if that trajectory would reverse.
So this is a dark time — not only astronomically but also the world feels dark right now.Comments

The Advent tension is a way of learning again that God is God: that between even our deepest and holiest longing and the reality of God is a gap which only grace can cross.
—Rowan Williams, A Ray of Darkness
I've been reading Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prize-winning novel The Road this Advent, and am struck by some thematic parallels between this bleak book and these dark December days of longing and foreboding. The correlations are subtle, tenuous, even arguable, perhaps — and not intended, I'm confident, by the author himself. Maybe it's more like a shared sensibilitity: Advent's unflinching gaze at the trouble and pain to come, given clear-eyed expression in the ancient prophets' warnings; the sober, spare narration of terrifying desolation in The Road; and the palpable urgency that informs and animates both.
Yet hope is wrested from the scattered wreckage. Advent's apocalyptic warnings locate the strange mission of a strange Messiah who's "winnowing fork is in his hand," but whose own dying will undo forever the power of sin and death. The violence and despair of McCarthy's post-apocalyptic landscape and the unspoken calamity that created it do not have the last word.
Hope and human goodness and a glimmer of divine grace seep through the cracks of the scorched, dead earth. "You shall fear disaster no more," says the prophet Zephaniah in one of the appointed Advent texts. McCarthy's nameless father and son seem to claim this foretelling for themselves as their savage, beautiful story comes to a close.
In Advent we walk a tightrope, taut (and fraught) with the tension of living between the times — between the "already" of the first Advent of God and the "not yet" of its completion. The Advent scriptures and liturgies and hymns bring this tension alive, teaching us, as the archbishop of Canterbury writes, "something of God's own simultaneous 'yes' and 'no' to all religious aspiration and expectation."
But tension — along with ambiguity, paradox, and mystery — are not what we want from our religion. Middle class Christian piety pays a kind of lip service to Advent (the wreath is a nice touch, we think), but darkness, foreboding, "unquenchable fire"? Please. We are on our way to the manger, for heaven's sake. The tree's been up for two weeks. You're scaring the children with all this talk of vipers and the wrath to come.
But Advent asks us to see and speak truthfully, to reckon honestly with our troubled times, to share in the righteous anger of a God who will, as the gospel of Matthew says, "decide with equity for the meek of the earth."
We make the journey through Advent a bit like travelers on an unknown road, but not as those without hope. For in the fullness of time the desert will bloom and rejoice, our weeping will turn to joy, and all flesh, we pray with fervent Advent longing, shall see it together.

When I first heard the interview with Matthew Sanford on the radio, I was moved beyond words. I wanted to hear it again. The second time I heard it, online, I was more moved still.
I wanted to understand what had touched me so deeply beyond his extraordinary story of loss and victory, and the candid and engaging quality of his telling. There was something else I could hear in the silences between his words that mesmerized me. What was it, exactly? I still do not know, but I keep asking the question.
On the surface, Sanford's life and mine have little in common. Very different stories indeed. Why, then, do I feel so strongly that I know what he is talking about? It cannot be the accident, the hospital, the paralysis — all of it so tragic that to say I understand would be worse than arrogance; so tragic, indeed, that it almost drowns out a subtler resonance. And yet, is it not this resonance that Sanford points to when he mentions silence, darkness, and quietness as portals to a deeper awareness?
It could be an illusion, this feeling that there is something in common, something that I understand. But it could also be that the commonality resides not in what human beings experience but in the way we experience it; that it is not in the action but in the gap, in the silence that follows and precedes action, that we meet as equals and see the other in ourselves.
A similar question comes to mind when I think of what Sanford calls "the gulf" — the isolation of personal experience from other personal experiences, the "existentialist" separation between self and even those the self most loves. I do not share with him the exact same reason for this gulf, his particular experience of pain and loss; what I share is the awareness of the separation and the anguish that results from that awareness.

As Sanford acknowledges, we all share it. We know we cannot be sure that the emotion we feel is perceived in the same intensity and depth by anyone else, however much intimacy there may be between those concerned. And, when two lovers watch the sun bleeding into the ocean, do they see the same shades of orange and red? Yet, if we share the desperate awareness of this gulf, is that not a most powerful commonality?
Mystics and theologians, Buddha and Christ have claimed for such a long, long time that separation is the illusion, yet we hang on to this illusion with all our might. It is clearly more soothing to us than that which we have in common. After all, "to have in common" means to have one's boundaries less clearly marked, to feel with another — pretty scary stuff that may explain why we lend so much weight to our differences and place so much value on them, from individuals to societies, from East to West and North to South. Even when we hate the differences (those seen as negative always embodied in "the other") and in direct proportion, it seems, to how much we hate them, we pour our attention on them; we bring them out under the glaring sun so everyone can stare at them until they seem insurmountable in their three-dimensional "reality."
But, Sanford claims, if we find ourselves in darkness, or in a very quiet place, we become more attuned to a different, subtler reality; and if we are strong enough to become vulnerable, to stay with the fear — in short, if we "surrender" — we may glimpse the contours of authentic feeling (how scary is that?) and hear the song of our oh-so-common human experience of striving and losing, loving and letting go, living and dying at every moment of existence.
And this may be the most healing story we can tell ourselves.

Norio's Sushi Bar & Restaurant Restaurant Review: Tucked away on a courtyard overlooking a serene koi pond within The Fairmont Orchid, and with just 60 seats, this secluded, intimate eatery has such a warm atmosphere that you forget you are in a large hotel. At the sushi bar, you can see the chefs at work. (The restaurant's namesake, chef Norio Yamamoto, has since moved on to other ventures.) The finer details are taken care of here, from the hot, lemon-fragrant towels you are offered to cleanse your hands to the exquisite saké selection on the otherwise brief wine list. Choose from dozens of sushi and sashimi variations. We especially love the miso black cod; the gingered, fried tofu with tempura sauce; and the panko-fried pork loin. Finish your meal with a spoonful of delicate green tea ice cream. This is sophisticated Japanese fare at its finest.

I realized I was going to head home quite later than usual, I lost track of time. All we did was talk and laugh together, and before I knew it, the sky was starting to turn from bright blue to pink and light red.
I went with one of my friend's and we went to her aunt's house. We found a stray cat with 3 newborn babies. She dragged each of them to the house's front porch. One of them had died.
Isn't it so sad? When someone has been robbed of their life before even opening their eyes. Since no one would take care of them, I decided I would care for one of the babies, and my friend would take care of the other one, within a few weeks however, after they've had a chance to be nurtured by their mother.
I look forward to having another cat. He deserves to live the life that his brother was denied.

You are viewing indicative tuition fee information for domestic students. If you are an international student click here to calculate indicative tuition fees for your course.
Indicative tuition fees provided are estimates based on information available to Edith Cowan University at the time of their calculation and are presented as a guide for comparative purposes only. The fees which are ultimately applicable are subject to change. ECU makes no representations or warranties in relation to the reliability of these estimates or the methodologies used for their calculations.
I acknowledge that I understand that these tuition fees are indicative only and are subject to change.
Commonwealth supported: AUD $6,044.00
Domestic fee paying: AUD $17,300.00
There are two types of domestic tuition fees as displayed above. Read the following information to identify which indicative tuition fee amount may be applicable to you.
Under this arrangement, the Australian Government contributes towards your tuition fees and you are responsible for the remaining tuition fees, called your 'student contribution'.
You are eligible to be Commonwealth Supported if you are studying:
You must also satisfy ONE of the following criteria:
Please note that eligibility for a Commonwealth Supported rate of fees does not determine your eligibility for a Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) loan. For further details and to obtain a more accurate indication of fees, please use the Fees Calculator.
Domestic tuition fees (unsubsidised full fee amount) will be applicable to you if you are not eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place.
Domestic tuition fees also apply to non-award courses (courses or programs that do not lead to a higher education award, but are studied for general interest, professional purposes, or to gain entry to a degree program through an alternative pathway). More about non-award courses.
We recommend you visit our Fees Calculator for a more comprehensive view of the cost of courses and units.

Tips for Becoming an LD Advocate
To become an effective LD advocate, you need to understand what you are trying to represent. Though personal experiences may drive you, the ability to relate those experiences to the community as a whole is necessary to foment understanding and ultimately change. Simply understanding an issue as it relates to your personal experiences is not enough. Acquiring more information about learning disabilities is very simple.
Information is available on LD.org, through your state office of education and your state's Parent Training and Information Center. A directory by state is easily found at parentcenternetwork.org. Use these already-fashioned resources to place your personal trails with LD within state and national context. After getting informed, get involved.
It might seem daunting to dive into the political arena, but remember all politics are local. All governance has local ramifications and, as such, all public officials rely on their constituents: you. They are not present in your schools, class rooms, or parent-teacher meetings. They depend on you, the parents, for information. Strengthening your voice can be as simple as becoming a resource of information for your congressman, school board or even fellow parents. Contact information and addresses for your local, state and federal legislators can be found in the blue section of the phone book or at contactingthecongress.org. Before meeting these officials, familiarize yourself with their policies. Vote-smart.org allows you to see exactly where your representatives stand on a particular issue. When speaking with your representatives, be specific, personalize your message and follow up.
Everyone knows the old adage "Quality before Quantity" but in advocacy, it is important to remember "Quantity has a Quality all of its own." Finding like-minded people will grant power to your voice and credibility to a movement. With this in mind, remember that media can be a powerful instrument. Twitter, facebook, newspapers and radio shows represent a myriad of means available for use in creating a dialogue. When discussing issues in the media, it is important to know your audience and not be afraid to point out individual's positions.
Most of our current laws that assist and protect people with LD came about from the grassroots efforts of advocates like you. Federal laws like IDEA stand as testament to the power of grassroots efforts. Advocacy can be a lifetime pursuit or the five minutes one takes to inform and educate another; it should always be, however, personally rewarding, whether as a citizen, a community member or as a parent.

L-3 Receives EDS Certification from Civil Aviation Administration of China
Several of company's explosives screening systems get okay from CAAC
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 2005--L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that its Security and Detection Systems subsidiary has formally received explosives detection certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for several of its explosives screening systems. L-3 is amongst a select few manufacturers of aviation screening products to have received the prestigious CAAC certification, making L-3 eligible to win significant future aviation security contracts in China.
The eXaminer 3DX(R), Multi-View Tomography High Resolution (MVT-HR(R)), VIS 108(R) and PX-M(R) systems have been formally qualified for use in the civil aviation industry of China. Select L-3 explosives screening systems have also been certified by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and accepted for use by the U.K. Department for Transportation (DfT).
"With certification in China, L-3 has now established itself as the explosives screening manufacturer of choice for the world's most important aviation markets," said Thomas Ripp, president of Security and Detection Systems. "Obtaining certification from the CAAC further cements our unique position as the only company that can provide a full range of screening products for the aviation industry."
The eXaminer explosives detection system (EDS) has previously been certified by the TSA for aviation bag screening and there are currently more than 600 eXaminer systems deployed worldwide. L-3 has recently introduced a number of industry-leading advancements to the eXaminer that set it apart from competing systems, including:
-- Unprecedented baggage throughput of 600 bags or more per hour when operating within a fully integrated baggage-handling system environment.
-- Industry-leading ability to accommodate long, oversized baggage up to 100 inches (2.54 meters) in length, such as skis or golf club bags.
-- Advanced 3-D imaging capability allowing operators to resolve alarmed bags more quickly, resulting in improved operational efficiencies.
-- Networking capability that allows images from multiple machines to be evaluated by multiple operators over a secure system.
-- Additional operational features that improve the overall reliability of in-line systems.
L-3's MVT and MVT-HR systems meet the demanding needs of the airline industry, which requires high throughput rates while meeting international standards for the automated detection of explosives. The systems can be fully integrated into a baggage handling system (BHS) and support multiple detection algorithms that can be switched "on-the-fly" to meet varying criteria for explosives detection. Additionally, the systems are deployed in the world's most security conscious airports, including London's Heathrow, Amsterdam's Schiphol and Australian airports serviced by the Qantas Group.
The VIS 108 is a high-speed, automated in-line EDS specifically designed to meet the needs of multi-level hold-baggage screening. It provides automatic explosive detection at a rate of 1,800 bags per hour, proven easy integration, high reliability, and a large tunnel opening to screen large and out-of-gauge baggage. The VIS systems is accepted for use by the U.K. DfT and meets international and U.S. regulatory standards and criteria for the automated detection of explosives in aviation checked-baggage screening applications.

KB2468871 for x64-Based Systems will not install
After I downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2012 Express I can't get the update for KB2468871 to stop appearing as an important update. Is there a possible DLL or patch file that I would need to run to solve the Framework 4 issue? Since I have .Net 4.5 installed it seems like this KB will stop appearing in my Windows Updates.

History seems to be repeating itself in Cincinnati. In the late 1920s the Charter Party (Charterites) was created to challenge and then defeat the corrupt administration of Boss Cox and his control on the city. Our subway, which today gleams preserved through our Downtown, was under construction at that time. It was in reality a […]

To do Field Day with the Flex-6700 or not? 20 - June - 2013Posted by k9zw in Amateur Radio, Flex-6000, FlexRadio Systems, K9ZW, K9ZW Just Rambled, K9ZW Operations.
Tags: ARRL Field Day, Field Day, Flex-6000, Flex-6700, FlexRadio Systems, K9ZW, K9ZW Just Rambled, K9ZW Operations
Question at hand, with the new radio due in tomorrow do I take it to Field Day Saturday, not take it, or do I use it but as a 1D station from home?
Choices, choices…..
Tracking says I should be here before lunch tomorrow….
- 1. Paul - N2PL - 20 - June - 2013
Congrats Steve!
1D it for safety's sake – and, of course, because so many of us are anxiously awaiting some great, new 6K videos (with directly patched audio if possible).
Whatever your decision, (in big-gun contester's voice) – "Good luck in the contest!"

"One might ask themselves, why?Why revive an iconic show with an iconic star. Why, when there are so many wonderful new playwrights, would Sidney Greene decide to dust off this tired old girl of a play? Well, frankly, I can only come up with a single answer, and it's Rachel Berry.
It takes chutzpa to be willing to step into the Great One's knee-high lace-ups and make Fanny your own. And Rachel has plenty of that, clearly. But she also has something else in spades: talent.And mountains of it. I'm not talking about the Appalachians. Berry is the Alps. I'm sure I could find fault in this green actress's performance, but shame on anyone who would have the audacity to criticize the bold mistakes of a supernova exploding before our eyes.
I just pray to God that no one saw me secretly wiping my tears during her show-stopping 'Who Are You Now?'.I don't know where inside that small frame Berry went to find the emotion she delivered with that song, but she melted the icy heart of this reviewer.
I hope this show runs for a long time, not because anyone needs to see 'Don't Rain on My Parade' again, or the producers found a way to get a real tugboat onstage, but because I want to have some time to enjoy Rachel Berry as she is now.
I know I will be going back for a second heaping bowl of Rachel Berry."

Former "OC" starlet Rachel Bilson, 29, and "Superman Returns" blonde Kate Bosworth, 27, both feigned interest at the same event in L.A. this week.
Question is ...
Yikes, Kate's forehead looks like it had several Botox injections...
Why doesn't TMZ ever give the option of "Neither"?
RACHEL! She's hot!
Kate! She's perfection!
Neither! Where is the NEITHER option? Look Harvey, we are both proponents of choice in life. Equal rights for all. Please extend the courtesy of a third, more appropriate response from us.
Thank you, sir. I'll march with you any day. NO HATE. Equality for all-forever.
Google in the input: clshoe.us you can find many brand names, even more surprising is that he will sell you the unexpected o(∩_∩)o
Are foreheads getting larger? WTH?
I would say both, and not just for their looks. Both seem to be fun, down-to-earth, genuintely sweet women. You don't really hear them in the headlines often, and both seem to carry themselves extremely well, despite their fame. Truly beautiful both inside AND out. Really hope to see more of Rachel. She's been in a few films, but nothing that really stood out. Thanks for the great post, TMZ.
Rachel looks bad in that photograph but I'd still pick her. Her shirt looks like it is straight out of the 1970's (or even 1870s!) and her two tone hair looks like a bad dye job.
That is better than Kate though since she's just plain unattractive.
I like the young dark haired live girl. The middle aged corpse scares me.
I like the dark haired live girl. The cadaver scares me.
I like the dark haired live girl. The wax figure scares me.
Rachel! She's hot!
Kate Bozworth needs to lay off the Botox! she's starting to look like Brian Bozworth!

Pretty, bright, and born atop the social strata of the English village of Highbury, Emma Woodhouse has all anyone would want. But she is fated to become the victim of her own irrepressible willfulness.
Because of the recent marriage of her friend and governess, Emma fills the void in her life by attempting to "improve" Harriet Smith, a sweet, pretty seventeen-year-old of unknown parentage. Emma's good-hearted attempts to rearrange the lives of Harriet and other marriageable townspeople are then the incitement to the book's subtle, intricately constructed plot.
Austen employs a sympathetic, gentle satire as she portrays the provincial townspeople — all of whom are goodhearted, but have their own particular streak of ridiculousness. Emma's father, Mr. Woodhouse, is deferred to by all, but maintains an absurd aversion to change and an overweening concern for maintaining what he considers to be a well-measured, healthy lifestyle. The chatty Miss Bates is sweet-tempered, but talks incessantly about everything that comes into view. And then there is Emma herself, who seems to know all but her own heart.
With the tightly weaved movements of the characters and the interplay of their romantic schemes, Emma has elements of a well-done mystery novel. But the book's leisurely exposition and skillful use of irony make it an amusing comedy of manners in which the reader can savor the all-too-familiar foibles of the heart as it becomes a hunter.
From Chapter 1
Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.
She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father, and had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses, and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection.
Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse's family, less as a governess than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters. Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; and the shadow of authority being now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and friend very mutually attached, and Emma doing just what she liked; highly esteeming Miss Taylor's judgment, but directed chiefly by her own.
The real evils indeed of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much of her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, however, was at present so unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her.
About the Author-
- Jane Austen was born at Steventon Parsonage, Hampshire, England, on December 16, 1775, the seventh of eight children. She was educated by her father and began her writing career with parodies and sketches meant for the amusement of her family. She published only four novels during her lifetime: Sense and Sensibility in 1811, Pride and Prejudice in 1813, Mansfield Park in 1814, and Emma in 1816. She died in 1817 at the age of only forty-one. Two more novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after her death.

Extraordinary place
Thank you Patrizio. We LOVED Domus Civita! The uniqueness of setting, thoughtful, innovative and playful design, the view, the character of the town, the loveliness of the people, Alma Civita Restaurant ... an extraordinary place and an experience that we will never forget!

House was a dream...
Patrizio, we had a wonderful time! The house was a dream.....it exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved Civita and would like to do a Christmas trip! We made friends there and will definitely be back. My grand daughter named all the cats which are now listed in your guest book. I have several friends in the high end travel business and have sent them your website along with recommendation. The restaurant Alma di Civita should be at the top of your list. It was one of the many highlights of our trip. I think another recommendation should be Pienza for a day trip with lunch at La Porta in Monticchiello (about 7 or 8 minutes away). I have been looking on line at your other properties. We are thinking of a trip first part of 2015, Mexico might be the right fit! Looking forward to our next stay!

Most beautiful place on earth
Dear Patrizio, We are now home after a wonderful experience at Domus Civita in Civita di Bagnoregio. Upon arriving at your house, Gustavo gave a tour that took our breath away. Every room or stairway was amazing. Everything was so clean. Food, alcohol, towels, books, wine, utilities -- all there for us to enjoy. But the house was the amazing part. Modern appliances, contemporary furnishings, but felt like you were going back in time as you took the stairway down past the wine cellar, then past the pool with kitchen, and then finally down to the Roman water cistern 2000 years old. Then the village from the 1300's (with unbelievable history and challenges nature poses) and its nice, nice people. The cafes, the church, and the shops all greeted us so warmly. Gustavo cooked a great meal Sunday night. We also went to the church Sunday at 11:30 a.m. We loved the many cats and they loved us. I think we fed them a little too much. We went to Florence with Luca on Tuesday and had a great time visiting museum, shops, and cafés. Luca took us to Rome on Thursday. Saw Coliseum, Forum, Sistine Chapel, and Vatican Museum, along with Trevi Fountain. Obama was also in town. He had a slightly larger motorcade than us. Last day – Friday, we just hung out at the house. Gustavo came and visited – he's wonderful. It was sad to leave Domus Civita and the Village. We hope someday to return to the most beautiful place on earth we have ever visited!

Warm and cozy place...
We had the awesome priviledge of staying at Domus Civita last week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the villa is fantastic. What a warm and cozy place it is with all the great views and historic nature of the home. From the moment Luca picked us up at the airport, our drive to Bangnoregio, and our first walk across the bridge to the villa til the day we had to leave was a special vacation. Gustavo was a superb host and an excellent chef. The inital tour of the home was breath taking and all five of the floors are a joy. The wine cellar was my favorite floor :) The inventory in the wine cellar was certainly depleted once we had completed our 1 week stay.!!! The views from the garden out on the horizon are serene and the pool and hot tub were very nice to enjoy and relax with a glass of the local wine! Gustavo prepared a magnificant meal for us on our first full day and it was hard for us to leave to see local sites and tours but we did! Luca is a marvelous tour guide as we experienced Florence and Rome, Italy with him as our guide. He speaks fluent English and knows all of the sites to see and explore. I would highly recommend him to any of your guest as the one to take for a tour guide / driver. We went to many of the restaurants and my favorite restaurant was Alma Civita. What a special place with friendly local owners. We had the house wine and some homemade Grappa with Sordon during the day and his son Maurizio made a delicious dinner for the 6 of us. We spent each day walking the village, sitting down with a glass of wine while enjoying the outdoor surroundings, exchanging smiles with local folks, and stopping by the local historic church to greet Anna the caretaker. Patrizio you have discovered a treasure in Domus Civita and we have already reccomended to our friends! Thank you again for the chance to explore Italy for our first time and to rest each evening in a very special home. WE WILL BE BACK

What can I say except this is been the experience of a lifetime for all of us were here in this beautiful special place!

Wonderful Experience
Patrizio Thank you for the wonderful experience here at Domus Civita. Wards can't describe what you have created for your guests. This house in town are amazing and will forever be an awesome memory for Jerry and myself. Gustavo has been a huge bonus by preparing delicious meals and providing us with whatever we need to make this such a delightful vacation. Everything is here for us to completely relax and keep us wanting to extend our stay. We hate to say goodbye so I will say "a pin tardy". Grazie.

Simply Amazing
What can we say except that Domus Civita is simply amazing – it is much more impressive and tasteful than it appears on the Internet. As we walked over the bridge towards Bagnoregio – it felt like we had arrived in special part of heaven. All around us were scenic views of the Italian rule landscape interspersed with mist covered gullies - olive trees, orchards and old stone farm buildings. The atmosphere and romance are a critical part of Domus Civita – which stands out because one can almost feel the direct connection to multiple generations of people who have interacted with the building and landscape. For us, it is extraordinary to think of the Etruscan and Roman people working the stone around the town, or early tradesmen using the many caves to store their olive oil and wine. It's almost as if you can feel the presence - something very special. Despite its antiquity, Domus Civita is beautifully laid out and extremely comfortable and modern to live in. The swimming pool, the tunnels and wine cellar created a great sense of fun. We desperately want to come back! Grazie Patrizio and Mark.

Exquisite week
Just returned from an exquisite week spent at Domus Civita. The villa is a perfect blend of the modern and the ancient, and Patrizio spared no effort in ensuring that we enjoyed our stay to the maximum. Thanks for introducing us to drivers Luca and Francesca, who whisked us everywhere we wanted to go in comfort and luxury; Elisabetta and Francesco, who provided an impassioned and fascinating tour of Orvieto, both above ground and below; Agostino and Marco for a much welcomed massage session at the villa; and Gustavo for his wonderful meals, his attention to our every need, and most of all for his friendship. If you have the chance to stay in Civita, make sure you have at least one meal at Ostaria al Forno di Agnese and enjoy the hospitality and beautiful food courtesy of the owner, Manuela. This was an experience of a lifetime, and we cannot recommend Domus Civita enough to anyone who has ever dreamed of the perfect Italian vacation.

Unparalleled experience
Dear Patrizio It's hard to overstate how wonderful this country, town, home is. You have provided unparalleled experience by creating this lovely home inside this enchanting town. We enjoyed our three weeks, lived much as the locals do, and made some wonderful memories with the locals as well. And let me sing the praises of Gustavo, warm, charming, helpful and easy going. He has made an already excellent experience flawless. I do hope to come back someday, but if not I will have memories to last my whole life. And I will tell my friends (but not too many as I don't want the secret to get out). We wish you much success and thank you for a great time.

Truly a find...
Patrizio, we had a WONDERFUL time at Domus Civita! As usual, you both have outdone yourselves. Civita is truly a find. I was delighted by the fact that it is so pristine and untouched---no touristy shops, no plastic signs, no McDonalds, no billboards. Everything was tranquil and unspoiled. The shopkeepers were so welcoming and friendly. Jacob came back from his first foray to the cafe on the corner to say that "word had spread in town" and people were asking if we were the family "at Patrizio's, with the babies". We received the same warm welcome at midnight mass, where we have a picture of Geoffrey kissing the baby Jesus after making the procession to the manger. You were right about the Live Xmas Nativity--it was a real treat. That was one of the two nights that our cousins were with us from Geneva. They also had a great time and took a ridiculous number of photos. We also had a fabulous evening with Iside and her cooking class. Our meal was so wonderful that Jacob and I actually drove up to their restaurant La Parolina in Trevinano the following day for lunch. I'm sure Iside thought we were insane!

Heavenly beauty
Civita di Bagnoregio has been defined as unique, extraordinary, magical. And truly, spending some days at Domus Civita heightens all of these aspects, adding a new dimension: the private enjoyment of Civita's enchantment. When you are done visiting the environs, or strolling around in Civita (getting to meet Civita's inhabitants is one of the many charms of this small village, as it is to eat at the cozy Forno di Agnese), there is nothing more satisfactory than returning to Patrizio and Mark's house. Staying at Domus Civita felt like being able to privately enjoy the heavenly beauty of Civita. When all the tourists cross the bridge and leave, one feels left in a very special place: the large spaces and the hidden nooks of the house can only mildly prepare you to the stunning beauty of the garden. Sharing a glass of wine with friends in the private magic of the garden, or looking outside from the pool is an experience one can hardly forget.

They say a 'pictures tell a 1000 words' but in this situation they only reveal about 200, of those WOW is repeated about 199 times. Experiencing this home for yourself will be the only way that you can ever feel & understand the other 800 words. Entering 'Domus Civita' for the first time into the main room we were in 'lust' with the charming property, but it wasn't until we entered the caves out onto the garden and into more caves to discover the pool and alfresco kitchen that we were truly in love. It is here in the garden we spent much of our time, and our favorite time was in the evening, where you can lounge with wine, enjoy the Italian countryside and listen to the activity from town people in the valley below. Above ground, when you see day-trippers approaching the house to get a view of over the valley below, you look at them with this smug look, knowing of the secret, and that they have no idea what lies beneath their feet! In the house, from every room you can enjoy ample sunlight and fresh country breezes wafting in through the large windows with incredible views. The entire 'Domus' is filled with creative uses of repurposed pieces, some made by Patrizio [owner] himself. Sparse but not spare of personality, quaffed but comfortable, the space is easy to get comfortable in and feel like you are at home. The house itself in the evening provides a wonderful restful sleep from your days adventures into the surrounding areas. In fact you will find it hard to leave so anticipate late starts to your day and early returns to the house to enjoy all it has to offer. Civita di Bagnoregio is the quintessential Italian Hilltown, and experiencing the town with a stay at this property will be a memory that will long live fondly in your travel adventures.

Magical Atmosphere
Our family of 4 had the pleasure of staying in Domus Civita just this last August for a fantastic and very original vacation. From the moment you enter the town of Civita di Bagnoregio your are you are enticed by its peace and harmony. Every street, corner and vista a magical and almost mystical atmosphere and Domus Civita fully reflects the same sensation. In the house the ancient spaces and the modern interventions blend and contrast beautifully creating a unique feeling of harmony. We spent beautiful moments dining in the formal Italian garden thank you also to a unique kitchen placed in one of the caves facing it. More than anything we loved the pool and hot tub, also placed in a cave open onto the garden and with beautiful vistas of the town of Lubriano across the way. The house is so comfortable and filled with so many beautiful details, modern and old, which make it charming and truly unique. One of the most special places is the wine cellar located in an old underground water cistern…tasting wines in this beautiful space, where you breath the history and culture of the place, makes them really special! We will certainly be back for more! Thank you.

Incredible Stay
Thank you for an incredible stay at Domus Civita! It's difficult to find words that capture the magic of this home and its fairy tale location. I have stayed at many unique accommodations all over the world but I have to say that this home is exceptional. First, the location is magical – a medieval village perched on a promontory – walking across the footbridge and through the Etruscan gateway I felt like I was entering a fairy tale! The hilltown of Civita is delightful – so peaceful with no cars-like going back in time; we had wonderful meals at local restaurants, enjoyed leisurely coffees and drinks around the charming town square – and the townspeople were so friendly. As for the house, you are to be commended for the phenomenal and obviously loving restoration of this historic property. I have never been in a private home with its own Roman water cistern and ancient caves! We had so much fun walking through the series of gorgeously lit medieval caves that led us from the main floor of the house down to the stunning Italian garden. The wine cellar in the Roman cistern is amazing, as is the meditation cave that you've outfitted with pillows & candles- so romantic! Floating in the pool and hot tub in a stone cave off the garden was like being on a movie set! We enjoyed great meals and stunning views from the garden gazebo. The living room and kitchen are beautifully designed and so comfortable – the terracotta floors, wood beams and the stone fireplace are gorgeous. And the artwork throughout the home is wonderful. The three bedrooms are beautifully appointed – I enjoyed the gorgeous views from the windows in the upstairs bed and bathroom. We also appreciated the great books you made available. To anyone considering an inspired vacation in Italy, I can most enthusiastically recommend Domus Civita.

China silences 25th Tiananmen anniversary, remembered in Hong KongUpdated: 2014-06-05 15:54:23 KST
A massive candlelight vigil lit up the night sky, Wednesday night, in a downtown park in Hong Kong.
Tens of thousands of people remembered the bloody crackdown on democracy in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, exactly 25 years ago, in 1989.
The demonstrators, including many who flew in from mainland China, called on Beijing to admit to the killings and account for what happened.
"This is my first time participating in this sort of large-scale political event. I hope one day in China, citizens will truly have the freedom to demonstrate."
Although the former British colony, Hong Kong, has been under Chinese rule since 1997, it still enjoys civil liberties not permitted to mainland Chinese today.
Leading up to the anniversary, the Chinese government cracked down heavily on any mention of the massacre--- prohibiting public discussion and censoring online references.
"This is of course the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen crackdown, and what we've seen this year is an intensification of the crackdown against all sorts of people in civil society. // It's not just confined to Beijing, it's nationwide."
In Beijing, dozens of activists were detained for attempting to commemorate the anniversary, and tourists and journalists in Tiananmen Square were searched.
It was back in 1989, on June 4th when hundreds of pro-democracy activists were removed by force and killed for protesting in the busy city square.
