What's the best way for you to talk to your children about death? How can you help your children deal with the thoughts and feelings that naturally follow someone's death? The fact is that there is no magical or "one size fits all" answer to those questions. Rather, how you deal with those issues partly depends upon details like your children's age, the nature of the death, and so forth. It also partly depends upon your own experiences with death and grief, and your comfort level in discussing those subjects. With that in mind, what follows are some suggestions on how to communicate with your children about death and grief, how to help them cope with this very important part of your life, and how to help them deal with future losses.
Perhaps the most important thing that you can do is LISTEN to your children. Allow your children to express their thoughts and fears, talk about their feelings, and ask you questions individually. Don't try to convince your children that they do not or even should not feel bad, and don't just change the subject or quickly talk about something else. Let them know that it's okay to say whatever they want, and that you want to hear whatever they have to say. Sometimes, this is easier said (or written) than done. That is, often parents believe that they should try to get their children to not talk or even think about someone's death. This is often done under the mistaken notion the (a) children can easily be helped to "forget" about someone's death, and (b) talking about the death will only make things worse. In fact, the opposite is generally true on both points. Children can no more "forget" about a death than can an adult. And, research has shown us that the more we actively try to put something out of our minds, the more we may actually think about it.
How do you HELP YOUR CHILDREN EXPRESS themselves and COMMUNICATE with you and others? Older children and teenagers are often able to express themselves relatively well with words. Keep in mind, though, that many children, especially younger ones, don't always express themselves very well with words, or they may not be able to express themselves as well with words as they can in other ways. For those children, acting out stories about death and grief with dolls or puppets, writing letters to the deceased, drawing pictures about the person's life and death, having a "conversation" with the deceased on a toy telephone, and making scrapbooks of memories are some ways that children can communicate their thoughts and feelings. You might suggest those projects to your children and see if they want to do any of them. Don't force them – they'll let you know if they want to participate, either now or later. Another way to help your children process information and express their thoughts and feelings is to put yourselves in situations which can naturally open up communication. For example, visit the grave or mausoleum with your children, look at photographs or videos of the deceased, let them help you put away the person's belongings, and don't be afraid to read books or watch movies which deal with normal feelings about death and grief. Above all, don't expect only one discussion, or one trip to the grave, or one look through a photo album to be "enough" to make everything right again. Children need time to cope with a death – time, and your help and understanding.
Another major way in which you can help your child is to demonstrate healthy ways to cope with death and grief through YOUR EXAMPLE. Don't underestimate the fact that your children learn a great deal about what to do and how to handle difficult situations by observing you. Don't be afraid to cry or express your sadness and grief in front of your child. Demonstrating that it is okay to cry and to be sad and dismiss the deceased, or to even be angry that the person had to die, will help your child to honestly and openly express his or her own feelings. Hiding your feelings and avoiding discussion of death will only teach your child that such feelings are not okay, that feelings should not be expressed openly, and that grief should be dealt with alone. Children (and adults) are generally greatly comforted by not having to deal with death and grief alone. An important point, though, is that if you feel that you are having extreme difficulty coping with a death, then you should talk about that with another adult or seek professional help. Remember, your child will look to you to see how to react and cope, and not the other way around. They cannot and should not be expected to demonstrate to you how to cope, and they will only become more anxious if they see that you are unable to cope yourself. In addition, they should not be put in a situation of feeling as though they have to act as an adult before they are able and ready to do so. For that reason, avoid comments to children such as "you need to be strong now," or "you're the man (or woman) in the house now." Those statements typically only worry and stress children more.
Finally, another task will be to REASSURE your children that they are okay, as are other family members and friends, despite the fact that someone has, indeed, died. One of the most common reactions by children of all ages (yes, including teenagers) following someone's death is worry and anxiety about their own mortality. This can usually be addressed well by reminding your children specifically why the person died, and pointing out that they (your children) are healthy and not, for instance, elderly, suffering from a disease, etc. It can also help to remind them of the steps they take to stay healthy (e.g., eat right, get enough sleep, know how to be safe). Another way to address this issue, and also to avoid confusing and distressing your children, is by talking with them about the inevitability of death both honestly and in a way which makes sense to them. How you discuss this should be guided by you own religious or spiritual beliefs and, very importantly, by your child's level of understanding of the concept of death. One thing to remember, though, is that simple and truthful statements are most appropriate. Do not be afraid to say that someone "died." Terms such as "Dad flew up to heaven," "we lost your Grandpa last night," "God took Aunt Wilma today," "your brother went to sleep forever," and "Mom has gone on a very long trip" all can simply confuse and even terrorize young children.
Another reaction by virtually all children (and again, including teenagers) following someone's death is worry and anxiety about what would happen to them if one or both parents, or other relatives, were to die. That is, children frequently worry a great deal about who would care for them if others were also to die. The points covered in the previous paragraph are also relevant to this situation, but, in addition, it is also important to reassure your children that someone will always be available to care for him/her, no matter what. In order for you to discuss this with your children honestly (since children are good at knowing when parents are telling the truth!), and also for your own peace of mind, it is very important for you to actually have a plan for who would be your children's legal guardian. Take this seriously, think it through, and make sure that a plan is written in a will or other legal document. This will benefit everyone tremendously.

Darren Baker is a friend of mine that's been playing beach volleyball for years. Darren began playing volleyball at a competitive level since 1998. Cutting his teeth on beach/sand volleyball while also playing club volleyball at the University of San Diego before returning to the Augusta, GA area. He has played numerous outdoor tournaments at an Open level, including Columbia: AVP, Clash and Crown, EEVB, and Fudpuckers events. Personal highlights are having played against or with Olympians Jose Loiola, Ricci Luyties, Alan Alan, and Phil Dalhausser.
By: Darren Baker
Looking at the statistics of doubles beach volleyball one might say to me: "But Darren, look at the number of blocks vs number of championships in last season's AVP tour. The top two blockers, Phil had 2.11 blocks per game and Sean had 1.71 blocks per game this translated into nine (9) championships, first on tour, and Hyden-Scott had four (4) championships second on tour.

Door Locks, Electronic Door Locks & More
Door locks are one of the most varying parts of any access system: they come in an incredibly wide variety of types, models, brands, shapes, and modes of function. We are sure to carry all of the different types of locks necessary for keeping your building secure—and not necessarily over-securing it.
While we understand that a hospital may require a certain level of security above the norm, we know that you may not want to buy the same grade of lock for your back door. With that in mind, we have the top brands for all of the different grades and styles of locks, from Abus for drawers and cabinets, to Adams for sliding glass doors, and Adams Rite for nearly all applications—as well as many more.
Electronic door locks are obviously an advantage in many situations, because they open up the number of different ways in which you can apply the lock to your system. These door locksets allow you to implement keyless options, prox readers and other technologies that will limit access in a more controllable way. They are also a great way to implement a secure, keypad-friendly entryway.
The best door locks, however, are not always electric. Depending on the grade of your lock, there are many deadbolt locks and manual combination locks that are incredibly strong and secure—but again, it is about your specific needs, not simply trying to rely on type for security.
For a sliding door, you obviously won't need the same protection as you might for a safe, which may require a combination lock.
Consider exactly what you're going to use your lock for, and whether you need the full lockset or simply a replacement part for an existing system. We are happy to help our customers maintain their current lock system by providing parts, rather than making you go through the trouble and expense of replacing the entire kit. For that reason, we encourage you to utilize our search tool to determine where on our site you can find the exact product you're looking for.
If you're having trouble locating a part, always contact our customer service representatives, and they will be more than happy to help you get the exact lock or part that you need. Additionally, we offer free shipping on all orders over $200, our way of saying thank you for choosing Buy Access. We're excited to help you find what you need today!

Margaret Thatcher (Oct 13, 1925 – Apr 8, 2013) was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990. Nicknamed "the Iron Lady" by a Soviet journalist for her tough leadership style, her conservative policies became known as "Thatcherism."
BBC History: Margaret Thatcher5 stars
"Margaret Thatcher was Britain's first female prime minister and served three consecutive terms in office. She was one of the dominant political figures of 20th century Britain, and Thatcherism continues to have a huge influence." This BBC mini site includes video highlights from their broadcast TV shows, and a short Thatcher biography. Be sure to visit "Thatcher's Journey from Finchley to Downing St" which you'll find listed under Related BBC Links in the right hand column.
BrainyQuote: Margaret Thatcher Quotes5 stars
"Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't." Brainy Quote brings us three pages of Thatcher quotations, tagged by topic. There is also a page of quotes that mention Thatcher. Look for it under the Links subhead in the right-hand column. "One of the people that I respect the most now, a person I think has done a heck of a lot for this world as a leader, is Margaret Thatcher." Sanford I. Weill
The Guardian: Margaret Thatcher5 stars
The Guardian mini-site includes articles about Thatcher's death and funeral, and Editors' Picks of stories about her life from their archive. " [David] Cameron said that in the 1940s the then Margaret Roberts went for a job interview at ICI. Afterwards the interviewer said she was 'headstrong, obstinate and dangerously opinionated'. Those qualities, said Cameron, were eventually put to use in the service of the country."
Margaret Thatcher Foundation5 stars
"After giving birth to twins in 1953 -- Carol and Mark -- MT [Margaret Thatcher] quickly resumed the search for a winnable Conservative seat. She received some painful rejections from local Conservatives who thought that a young mother should stay at home with her children, and momentarily decided to give up politics for law." The official site of the Margaret Thatcher Foundation includes an obituary, a biography, a chronology of key events in her life, and an archive of speeches and interviews.
The New York Times: Margaret H. Thatcher5 stars
"Mrs. Thatcher, who set her country on a rightward economic path, held her nation's top office longer than any other British politician in the 20th century." The New York Times news archive offers an obituary, news articles, speeches, interviews, slide shows and video. But as with many modern political leaders, not all of it is kind. Robert Mackey writes of the vitriol that spilled over social networks upon her death, in his article and video titled "Taboo on Speaking Ill of the Dead Wildly Ignored Online After Thatcher's Death."

The stakes being so high in Syria, it is little surprise that Moscow has interpreted Obama's military intentions in Syria as a serious infringement on its "sphere of influence" warranting a muscular military response in the form of a major build-up of Russian naval forces in the Mediterranean waters."
The US media is now leaking information regarding Pentagon's extensive "laundry list" of targets and the preparations for carpet bombings by deploying the strategic long-range bombers, in addition to the cruise missiles. This is not to mention the US special operation forces stationed in Jordan, who will likely play a role in "covert operations" aimed at Syrian military assets.
This while Tehran has declared that it will stand by Damascus "to the end," thus neutralizing the US's maneuver to throw a wedge between the two strategic allies commonly menaced by Israel; the potential threats posed to Israel's security in the event of a US war in Syria act, in fact, as a major deterrent that reduce the likelihood of this war, just as Russia's quasi-brinksmanship also serves as a key discouraging factor. After all, US is not the only world power whose "credibility" is on the line in Syria; Russia is equally concerned about the attrition of its power and credibility if it loses its foothold in Syria.

Here's a tip many hunters from east of the Mississippi might not know about.
I'm from Oregon, and I've noticed other hunters from the western United States use this trick frequently because long range hunting requires holding binoculars steady and trying to glass game at long distances.
When holding your binoculars or field glasses to your eyes, your arms will fatigue and begin to shake fairly quickly. This can happen anytime you have to hold up your binoculars for extended periods of time, even at close range.
Try this the next time you are glassing and wearing a cap with a bill: Pull the bill down snugly, then wrap your index fingers around the sides of the bill and use your thumbs to cradle the binoculars.
Your head and these added points of contact will stabilize your field glasses immediately and you won't tire nearly as fast.
I can't believe how many hunters have never heard of this simple hat trick. If you try it once, you'll never hold binoculars the same again!

Four members of the notorious Gambino family, all of Howard Beach, pled guilty in Manhattan Federal Court last week to a long list of crimes, including operating large scale narcotics distribution operations, the majority of which were located in Queens, and extorting strip clubs in the borough and Long Island.
Alphonse Trucchio, 35; Michael Roccaforte, 35; Anthony Moscatiello, 41; and Christopher Colon, 37, all of Howard Beach, admitted on Friday that they, along with others, distributed hundreds of kilograms of cocaine and marijuana, as well as thousands of ecstasy and Vicodin pills, between 1998 and 2010, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said. The sales generated millions of dollars for the Gambino family, according to the FBI.
Additionally, Moscatiello, a Gambino "soldier," fessed up to using violence and threats to extort payments from business owners throughout the city, the feds said. Trucchio, a Gambino "captain," and Colon, an associate with the crime family, pled guilty to extorting strip clubs in Queens and Long Island, including Perfection in Woodside and Rouge in Maspeth, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.
According to the federal government, Trucchio and Colon worked with other Mafia members and the Russian mob to smuggle in women from eastern Europe to strip in Perfection, Rouge and other clubs.
They have been charged with racketeering, narcotics trafficking, assault, and extortion, among other crimes.
"For those who believe La Cosa Nostra's criminal activities and influence are on the decline, the sweeping charges in this case and today's guilty pleas should disabuse them of that notion," Bharara said in a prepared statement on Friday. "They should also make clear that this office is as committed as ever to rooting out the dangerous and deadly presence of organized crime."
Trucchio also pled guilty to ordering and participating in two assaults in 2008 and 2009, while Colon admitted to hitting another person with his car while trying to collect a debt in 2010.
Trucchio, Roccaforte and Moscatiello will be sentenced on May 17, and Colon will be sentenced June 4.

Faith No More Give Only Formal Interview Directly to Fans
Faith No More, who just announced an extra Los Angeles show for their final reunion tour, opted to do no proper press behind the The Second Coming Tour they're finishing in December. The group did, however, opt to answer questions submitted by the band's three most prevalent fan groups – and the interview is pretty revealing. The questions, compiled by our great friends at stubbadub, Faith No More 2.0 and Faith No More French Community, were answered by the band in an informal setting and filmed for fans to enjoy.
With Roddy Bottum and Billy Gould handling most of the interview, here are some of the revelations:
On plans for the future:
We're not going to make another record … It's working really well right now and what we do and the creative decisions we make together now are a lot easier to make than they were in the past. And it feels really good. That said, we sort of made a decision when we started booking these tours that we would tour for a specific amount of time and stop and that's a decision that we made.
On why they didn't do an extensive US tour (or play festival Outsidelands in their hometown of San Francisco):
Roddy: People have been asking me on this tour and on different tours and when we were just in America assuming the fact, they think the reason we are not touring America is because we weren't popular there or there weren't enough people to want to see us play. That's not the case. I'm sure if we wanted to tour America, we would tour America just fine. We just didn't have a real desire to get in the bus and play little cities all across America; that's just not where we're at today.
Bill: That kind of burned us out back in the day. I would say that the powers that be in the States who put on the shows… I mean we have a show in our hometown San Francisco Outsidelands I think it's called and they didn't want us on this year which is really odd as we're from there and we're actually available to do it. Though we had really big commercial success in the States, it was for a very limited time and the people who worked for us out there saw us as this kind of thing and in the industry – I don't know if that's a good word to use – there's a certain perception that has stuck with us and not anywhere else. I don't think it gets down to the basic fan but getting stuff done we have to go through this prejudice a little bit.
On anxieities and trepidations about reuniting:
Bill: When I used to be in the band I always felt a little different from a lot of other bands. And a lot of bands in the past 5 years have gotten back together and I'd say for 90% of them it's not a very pretty thing. And I always took a lot of pride myself in being in this band and I really was scared about jumping into something that I wasn't proud of at all. It makes what you did the first time around completely meaningless if you blow it the second time.
Roddy: Agreed. We've always done things since we started as a band exactly the way we wanted to. So it was important for all of us going back into it the second time around and to do things our way and to do things in a tasteful way. There was a little bit of nervous trepidation I think going into it knowing that that could be compromised and knowing that we would be judged for doing this other than just as a thing that we wanted to do personally.
On having no PR on this tour:
It was really important for us to have a voice coming from the band. We decided straight off that we didn't want to do any press because really there's nothing that we are promoting and had no real need to talk about ourselves. We made that statement a long time ago; we made our records and moved on and there is nothing new to address. So we made a decision straight off the bat that we weren't going to do any press. Soon after we made that decision Billy signed on to Twitter first and then we realised the capability of how many people you can reach and how many people are interested. I think there was a lot of people initially when we started out the tour who wanted to know what was going on, wanted the inside scoop. The Twitter thing is an excellent opportunity for both of us to reach out and address people.
Billy Gould also mentioned that he has "500-600 things" that could be Faith No More songs, but, as mentioned earlier, there are no plans to record a new record.
In addition, a clip was played of an unreleased FNM song, entitled "Shuffle Song" from the band's 1992 Angel Dust sessions. The song comes in around 10:07 on part one of the interview (and the comment that the song featured "too many guitars" and that why it didn't work).

Growing Up with Alopecia Areata
Thursday, August 20, 2009
By: Aria Curtis
Growing Up with Alopecia Areata
I was eight years old, in March of third grade, when we tucked oversized T-shirts into spandex shorts and carried on unaware of our imperfections. It was this pivotal third grade year, when I was supposed to be concerned with which doll to play with at recess, that I was forced to grow up: I was losing all of my hair. It was a loss of innocence that brought about premature self-awareness. It began with a small spot at the back of my head, a small patch of flesh that peeked out under my ponytail. But other patches surfaced and grew and spread. At eight years old, I was confronted with biting self-consciousness that even adolescents twice my age wouldn't encounter. At eight years old, I was bombarded with allergists, dermatologists, and holistic specialists. At eight years old, I was overwhelmed with blood tests and complicated explanations.
The name-calling and the abrasively sympathetic looks had their affect on me. No matter what age you are, you notice these things and you find that they get old fast. From eight years old and on into junior high, hair became a highly sensitive issue. By ten I had lost all of the hair on my head, including my eyelashes and eyebrows. To this day I don't even have hair on my arms or legs. But it wasn't just hair. It was how I saw myself and how others saw me that mattered too much. It still matters too much. It's too easy to say it's only hair. Later, in middle and high school, the preoccupation with my hair spawned other preoccupations—from weight and body image to self-esteem issues. My preoccupation with hair loss did not end when my hair grew back in junior high; the preoccupation remained in high school and will no doubt follow me into college.
What has occurred between that monumental point and now has been a series of minutes, days, and years that mesh together and overlap. What can come out of a tremendously traumatic experience like that? Only growth can come out of it. Only redemption. I have learned to cope. They say, "What does not kill you makes you stronger." At eight I didn't completely understand what this meant. Most eight-year-olds wouldn't. But it has become a mantra that means so much more. It means not only will I overcome it, but I will also be a better person for it. I believe that it has been vital to hold on to those emotions of a confused child, to not tuck them in the pockets of my subconscious, but to remember all of it: every tear, every exhausting cry, every moment that I put my hand to my head to feel the skin that I never grew accustomed to seeing. Because I've learned from it. All of it.
At seventeen, upon the eve of my senior year in high school and the eve of my adulthood, I spoke to young tweens at the NAAF conference in Tampa about my experience. I had been ridiculously nervous in the months preceding the conference; I wasn't sure I would be able to give enlightening advice to kids that were in the same position that I was just six years ago, and it tore me apart. I wanted to make them feel better. I wanted them to think it was all right and everything would be okay. But I didn't know if I could do that for them if I couldn't do it for myself. I have found that every time my hair starts to fall out again, every time I find a new patch on my head, it's like the first one. It's just as confusing, just as dark and lonely as the first time, and it will always continue to affect me in the same way. After speaking to the tweens, I felt a profound connection to them. I realized how much they were all like me at that age: full of questions and fear, not knowing what to do or say to kids at school or how to cope, just searching for affirmation. I couldn't make promises that everything would be right again or their hair would grow back tomorrow like I know they wish it would. But I could say that they'd get through it. Because they will. Because I did. Because I will.

Oolong or Wu Long means "Black Dragon". Oolongs are half-fermented (or semi-oxidized) teas that are in the specialty tea family. Half-fermented because the processing of Oolong tea requires only a partial fermentation (oxidation) of the leaves. Oolongs occupy an intermediate position between non-fermented green teas and fully fermented black teas and are the most diverse and interesting loose leaf teas. Oolongs can have varying degrees of oxidation that ranges somewhere between 10-35% in classic Chinese Oolongs to 60-70% in classic Taiwanese (Formosa) Oolongs. Oolong specialty tea is often made from mature leaves, collected from older tea trees.Processing Oolong is considered the art of tea, where the character of tea is created. Tea masters participate in Oolong tea processing competitions to demonstrate their professional skills at this fine art.Let's take a look at Oolong manufacturing process.There are no standard recipes on how to manufacture oolong tea; it is up to the discretion of each tea garden or tea master to decide on processing and the level of oxidation. Immediately after gathering, the tea leaves are spread in a thin layer on special bamboo mats under direct sunlight for withering that will let most of water evaporate. The withering process time varies depending on the ambient temperature. The next step of processing is very peculiar, withered leaves are placed in a large bamboo basket and put in a shady area. Approximately every hour, the tea leaves are shacked and gently tumbled in order to bruise the edges of the leaves to start an oxidation, at the same time avoiding breaking or crushing them. This procedure has to be done several times, until following effect will be reached: bruised up edges of the leaves due to the fermentation become brown blush (like 'rusty'), while veins and parts of the leaves should remain green.Once the desired level of fermentation is reached, the oxidation process should be stopped immediately. This is achieved through the heat drying phase of raw materials in scorching air called "panning". The pan roasting of the leaves requires extensive experience in Oolong tea processing.Most Oolongs are dried in two stages: first is partially, primary drying and rolling of tea leaves, then a final finish drying. Some highly fermented Oolongs undergo an additional stage of wetting and softening.The partially drying process is carried out manually. This stage is necessary to stop the fermentation. Partially drying can be done in 2-4 steps, when the raw material is taken out of the oven, quickly cooled, then rolled. Then again dried in the oven, rapidly cooled, then rolled again, and so on. Afterwards, the leaves go through a final drying phase, ending oxidation and often followed by baking (roasting). Several kinds of Oolong are not rolled just dried after panning. With such a "multistage" technology, taste and degree of fermentation of Oolongs differentiate. Although, manufacturing Oolong is very intensive and meticulous process, unique aroma and flavor profile of this specialty tea makes this tea worth the trouble.Good quality Oolongs are only loose leaf teas, not tea bags!The most widely known and actively exported Oolongs are Chinese (Fujian and Yunnan) and Taiwanese (Formosa). Among the most well-known are Formosa Oolongs. Grown and manufactured in Taiwan, named after the province in which grown, these teas are considered the best in quality and affordability among Oolong the loose leaf tea family. Taiwanese Oolongs are often called "Champagne of Teas". Typically Taiwanese Oolongs are specifically labeled that indicates the quality of tea:1. Fanciest or Extra Fancy2. Fancy3. Extra Choice or Extra Fine4. Fine5. Fully Superior6. Superior7. Good8. StandardChinese Oolongs are famous for the fact that are used in a Chinese traditional procedure named Gongfu Cha and withstand up to 7 steepings.Brewing Oolong is a very delicate process because it strongly depends on the type of oolong, more precisely, the degree of its fermentation. A lightly fermented Oolong is closest to the brewing of green tea with 190-195 degrees water and the brewing time 1-3 minutes. More fermented Oolong (such as Formosa) is brewing a little longer 4-5 min in hotter water 203-212. After brewing a quality Oolong has pronounced specific characteristics that cannot be mixed with any other kinds of tea. The best quality Oolongs expresses a strong and rich floral aroma and a remarkable peachy flavor with a honey-sweet aftertaste. Oolongs that closer in oxidation to black teas, have a nutty, toasted flavor. Color of brew is very diverse: from light yellow with green notes (like green tea) to a dark red. Oolong specialty teas contribute 2% of tea consumption of all the teas all over the world.Enjoy a great cup of Oolong, happy drinking!

Loose Tea | Oolong
Considering the various properties of tea, do not forget about the main advantage of this magnificent gift of nature: the tea is able to give us joy and create a good mood. It is important to learn how to use the opportunities that tea provides to us. Always useful to keep the favorite teas stash in the house and regularly update it. If the tea is prepared correctly, it will reveal to us all its grace, if only treated with due care. The procedure of making tea requires greater attention, distracts from all the vain and becomes effective curative session of psychotherapy. All we need is to believe in tea. The ritual begins when during the boiling of water, we opened the canister and breath the scent of dried tea, look at the tea leaves and think about often unknown plantation where early in the morning, unknown hands quickly and relentlessly blunt fragile shoots stretching to the rising sun. They came to us and brought freshness and flavor of mysterious place. While filling a pot with boiling water we begin to smell the tea infusion, while pouring tea into cups we admire the bubbles that knock on the surface at the edges of the cup. So we create for ourselves our own "tea ceremony" .

What happens after the happily-ever-after ending?
What happens after the cowboy rides off into the sunset?
What happens after the athlete wins an Olympic gold medal?
What happens after the hero completes his quest?
In general, we aren't too interested in finding out the answers to these questions. We prefer the happy ending and the big Hollywood finish. End of story. However, Heracles' story doesn't wrap up so neatly. Just when we think he's about to ride off into the sunset after completing the Twelve Labors, he gets himself into trouble again. And again. And again.
This later phase in Heracles' life is full of many little adventures, and each of these adventures teaches Heracles something new. While they pale in comparison to the Twelve Labors, it's interesting to see that a great hero like Heracles continues to struggle through life. He's still very human and pretty darn flawed. Completing the Twelve Labors was a HUGE, godlike accomplishment. However, the story of Heracles' Later Adventures and Death shows us that he wrestles with the ups and downs of life just like the rest of us.
From tragic love affairs, to brutal wars, to a stint as a cross-dresser, Heracles' life wasn't dull even for a second. Sit back, relax, and check out the final years of the guy who put the H in hero.

The campaign against Ding Quarry is a NON-POLITICAL campaign, supported by various groups in Rochdale.
Please don't forget the Public Meeting on this Wednesday at 7pm at Spotland Stadium. Campaigners have written to 3,000 residents affected so attendance is likely to be high.
"This site is designed to support the campaign against reopening Ding Quarry. On here you will find latest news and Links to our local media who are also campaigning against the quarry. You can download a copy of our poster, leaflets and download paper copies of our petition. Please tell your friends to sign up to our campaign."
Paul Rowen MP with Councillors Barbara Todd, Greg Couzens and Peter Clegg.
In August 1995 residents led by hundreds of local residents and hugely popular former Liberal Councillor Norman Smith and the then Leader of our Council -
Paul Rowen (Now MP)
fought to stop developers from reopening
Ding Quarry
. There were blockades, protests and a huge march, amid fears of the effect of heavy lorries constantly travelling to and from the site along Rooley Moor Road. Residents feared a threat to road safety, traffic chaos, noise and there were concerns over the scenery and an ancient road at Lanehead being ruined. The pressure paid off in January 1996 when Rochdale Council's environment committee ruled that, in its opinion, the quarry had been dormant and the company, if it wanted to work there, would have to introduce stringent working conditions agreed by the council.
Now the fight is back on - An application has been lodged to reopen the quarry by DP Williams.
"It's a case of Déjà Vu" says Local Councillor Barbara Todd, who is working with Paul Rowen MP and local Councillors Greg Couzens and Peter Clegg.
Paul Rowen MP,
a veteran of the campaign over 10 years ago said, "We have fought before and we'll do so again. This would be a disaster for local people - It was wrong in 1995 and it is wrong today."

I like our little yard
(Male Cape May Warbler in one of our spruces on Monday. Photo by Bob Marcotte.)
"Tszeee tszeee tszeee."
Darn! The wheezy song of a warbler drifted from across our yard early Monday morning just as I was getting ready to leave on a round of necessary appointments and errands. It sounded vaguely like a Black-throated Blue, but was just different enough to cast a shadow of doubt.
Alas, no time to check it out, and I would be gone until well into the afternoon. Oh well…. you can't see them all, I rationalized. And besides – maybe, just maybe, it would still be hanging around when I returned to the little island of bird habitat I've created in my yard.
And it was.
About 4 p.m. I heard it again. Grabbed my binoculars and wandered into my backyard — a tiny backyard, to be sure, but with lots of bushes and trees at the fencelines, a sprawling crabapple in the middle and lots of leaf litter where the false solomon's seal are nodding with their white blossoms hanging in rows.
There . . . a small bird moving in some low-growing evergreens. A Magnolia Warbler. Neat! But could that be making the mystery song? I strongly doubted it. Magnolias can give a lot of different variations of song, but I've never heard one sing like that.
So it appears at least two warblers were still in my yard. I wondered what's going on out front, where three spruces fill a whole corner of the yard.
I stood, staring upward, while Lulu, our little shorkie, played in the grass of her little enclosure. A chickadee dropped from one spruce bough to another. And then, another small bird made its appearance.
(Female Cape May Warbler in one of the same spruces as the male shown above. Photo by Bob Marcotte.)
Drab brown, but with a wash of yellow on the throat and upper breast where there was some streaking, and a definite yellowish rump. Gotta be a female Cape May Warbler. And then, a couple of branches away, a male Cape May.
Oh, this is DEFINITELY neat! That gives me a total of three Cape Mays, one of my all-time favorite warbler species, in my spruces already this spring.
Cathy arrived home from work just in time to see them.
And the best was yet to come.
After dinner we sat on the back porch relaxing. A male and female Baltimore Oriole took turns sharing the grape jelly feeder with a Catbird. Even before we see them, we can tell the orioles are about to arrive by the chattering call they give.
Along came the male Ruby-throated Hummingbird to our nectar feeders; a female has also been showing up the last couple of days and, sure enough, after a few minutes she too showed up. We're wondering what kind of fireworks will result if both show up at the same time!
One of our resident Blue Jays perched in a branch just inches from one of the windows, preening itself just as it did the night before; the House Wrens stuttered at a nest box they've been filling with little sticks the last few days.
Life is good.
A small warbler-sized bird flitted through the dogwood bushes at the back fence. Quick, Bob, grab those binoculars.
A Tennessee Warbler this time, with a wonderful bright green back and a nifty, neatly defined little black stripe through its eyes.
A few minutes later, another warbler-sized bird flew into the brush line, and dropped down near the ground. A Nashville Warbler.
Oh yeah! This is very nice.
And, finally…..
"Tszee tszee tszee."
My mystery bird! Will it show itself?
It does, flitting at the fence line.
I raise my binoculars, half expecting to see that Magnolia after all.
Nope. A Black-throated Blue.
This is to know joy at many levels.
The joy of spring migration, when warblers, the crown jewels of the bird world, come streaming through on their way northward.
The joy of finding this many in a small suburban yard that, 30-some years ago, was nothing more than grass, with a single crabapple out front and an oversized, soon to be removed willow in back.
I spent a lot of years trying to turn my yard into a haven for birds.
And now, this is the reward.
"This is exactly what I hoped my yard would be like some day," I tell Cathy.
She nods. "Here come the orioles again," she says.
(Another view of the female Cape May Warbler. It also had a distinctive yellowish rump. Photo by Bob Marcotte.)

Corson v. Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Filing 32
ORDER/OPINION granting 28 Motion to Amend Complaint. The Clerk is directed to file Plaintiff's Amended Complaint and attachments. Signed by Magistrate Judge John S Kaull on 11/6/2009. (Copy pro se plaintiff/certified mail)(kd) (Additional attachment(s) added on 11/6/2009: # 1 Certified Mail Return Receipt same as #30) (kd).
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA DAVID C. CORSON, Plaintiff, v s. SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, Defendant. ORDER/OPINION On the 9th day of April, 2009, Plaintiff filed his Complaint in this Court against Defendant [DE 1], along with a Memorandum of Points and Authorities for Injunctive Relief, Specific Performance Relief, Declaritory [sic] Relief or Motion for Jury Trial [DE 2] and Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Appellants Motion for Summary Judgment [DE 3]. On November 3, 2009, Plaintiff filed a "Motion for Correction of Errors and Motion for Frist [sic] Amendment of Pleadings" [DE 28]. The Court construes this motion as a Motion to Amend Complaint. Defendant has not responded to this motion, nor does the Court require a Response to resolve the issue. Plaintiff requests only that he be permitted to amend his original complaint to correct his error in citing to the 14th Amendment instead of the 5th Amendment to the Constitution throughout his complaint; that he be permitted to add a sentence to his strict scrutiny claim; and that he be permitted to state an additional claim for relief at paragraph 62 of the Amended Complaint, requesting the Court "direct the VA to provide Strict Scrutiny in all of his appeals from VA decisions of Service Connected disabilities which have either been denied an increase or which have been severed, in view of the fact that Veterans Benefits were made a Protected Property interest in Plato v. Roudebush, 397 F.Supp 12195 (D.Md. 1975), and Devine v. Cleland, 616 F.2d 1080 (9th Cir. 1980.)" CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:09CV49 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) requires that the Court "freely" grant leave to amend "when justice so requires." Leave to amend should be denied only when the moving party has acted in bad faith, the opposing party would incur undue prejudice, or when the amendment would be futile. See Edwards v. City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 213 (4th Cir. 1999). The defendant has not objected to the motion and there is no evidence that Plaintiff acted in bad faith or that the defendant would be prejudiced by the amendment. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's"Motion for Correction of Errors and Motion for Frist [sic] Amendment of Pleadings," construed as a Motion to Amend Complaint [DE 28]. The Clerk is directed to file Plaintiff's Attachment #1 to DE 28, as his Amended Complaint. The Clerk is further directed to re-file particular attachments from the original Complaint [DE 1] (#2 Attachment 1-Appeal, #3 Attachment 2- In the matter of the motion of Corson, #4 Exhibit 2, and #5 Attachment 3Ł Findings and decision) as Attachments #1, 2, 3, and 4 to the Amended Complaint.

Cubs' Matt Garza recovering quicker than expected

MESA, Ariz. — Cubs right-hander Matt Garza is optimistic he can make his season debut closer to the two-week mark into the season than the four-week mark after the progress he made this week in restarting a throwing program.
Manager Dale Sveum isn't so sure of the timeline but says he's "very encouraged" by the way Garza's lat injury has responded this week.
"We'll find out a little bit more [later Wednesday], but he's doing really well to where it's pretty much gone it sounds like," Sveum said.
Garza, who has been sidelined since Feb. 17 with a left lat strain, played catch back-to-back days Sunday and Monday, and said he felt better than expected Tuesday. He was scheduled to throw again Wednesday – including "pushing" it to about 60 feet for the final 10 throws of the session.
"I was expecting to be real, real sore and maybe have to say I'm going to have to pull back,'' he said. "I was muscular sore but not the old sore. I'm activating muscles. It's good. It's just slow.
"So we'll see."
Until Sunday, Garza had been shut down for the second time this spring after the lat flared up again.
The stress reaction in his elbow that cost him the final two months of last season appears to be long gone, and barring another setback with the lat Garza said he's hopeful to be ready to make a spring game appearance by the end of camp.
"We still have three weeks left, so hopefully I can be ready to make an appearance the last week. If not, then possibly in Houston [March 29 or 30]," he said, "then go out and make a couple [minor-league rehab] starts and be ready."
Sveum is more conservative about the timeline, saying he expects Garza's season debut to come near the end of April or early May.
"But right now, I'm really, really encouraged by how he's doing," Sveum said.
NOTE – Scott Baker, who also will open the season on the disabled list as he returns from Tommy John surgery, fared well in a minor-league start Tuesday and could make his Cactus League debut as soon as Sunday.

Mr. Williams stated, "On behalf of Erie County's Poetry Community, I with great modesty and humility do gratefully accept the position of 2014-2015 Erie County Poet Laureate. I hope to achieve during my tenure, what I have always hoped to achieve over the years through my involvement in Erie's artistic community, via weekly readings, poetry festivals, and publications I hope to make the art of poetry accessible and integral our collective community cultural consciousness.".
Four finalists were selected to participate in a final reading of works on Monday, August 25, 2014. The finalists had already been scored on the written poetry submitted with their application, as well as their community project. The scores from Monday's performances were combined with those previously achieved by the finalists.
Current Laureate Ron Hayes concludes his second term this summer. "My time as Poet Laureate of Erie County will always be two of the most special years of my life. I serve students every day in a job I love teaching subjects I love, but poetry is my passion, and I am grateful for the chance to serve not just my students but my entire community. I am particularly proud of having visited every public high school in the county during my tenure, and I will always remember the joy and pride I felt at sharing my second reading with over a dozen aspiring young poets. I'd like to thank the ECPLI committee for choosing me, Doug Smith for his kindness, Greg Brown for his guidance, Chuck Joy and Joe Giles for starting this initiative, and my family for their unwavering support.
As we transition to our fourth laureate, it's gratifying for me to know that my successor will continue to work tirelessly at bringing poetry to every citizen of Erie County. Cee will be a tremendous asset to the lower east side, to the city of Erie, and Erie County and beyond. What a privilege it is to live in a community that chooses to invest in poetry! I am forever grateful."
Previous Laureates include Dr. Tom Forsthoefel and Berwyn Moore. The Erie County Poet Laureate is an emissary for poetry who will promote an awareness of poetry and inspire an appreciation of the art form in our community.
The Poet Laureate initiative has been honored by the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania and the National Association of Counties for excellence and for the promotion of the arts by County government.

install WordPress on ISPConfig 3
Hello all,
Is there any documentation out there on how to install Wordpress in an ISPConfig 3 environment?
1) Create a website in ispconfig with php-fcgi and suexec enabled.
2) Create a database in ispconfig.
3) Go to the website directory (the best way is that you login with a shell user of that website, so you dont have to change any file owners) and follow the wordpress installation instructions:
how can i login as a shell user of the website, so I dont have to change any file owners? I could use this when Im deploying rails aplication
In ISPConfig you can either create a shell user account for that Web / User or the one I prefer is using a piece of software called "putty" Putty lets you connect via SSH as any existing user on you server. However, this way, you'll have to watch again for file permissions.
Good luck!

There's a difference between a camp with facilities that are ADA-compliant, and those that are truly welcoming to individuals with physical challenges. Make no mistake–ADA was groundbreaking. But when it comes to including athletes of all abilities, it takes an all-out effort. And sometimes that effort starts with reaching out to athletes who might not even know they can be athletes. "The number of people with disabilities in the United States is in the millions," says Jeremiah Yolkut of the …

Hurricanes, Global Warming, and the Science of Weather - Junior SPARK
This course is expected to run but has not yet been scheduled.
Course Description
Summer weather produces storms that include lightning, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. You will track these storms as they are occurring during the week of study at Brown and will learn about these storms and the weather systems that produce the storms. We will also explore how global warming is affecting the strength of hurricanes. What might you do to guard against these disasters?
The weather produces some of the most powerful forces on earth. Did you know that a single hurricane has about as much energy as 400 atomic bombs? You will get to observe what causes the storms and what makes them dangerous? You will learn how large storms are formed, including hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes. You will do hands-on work in the field and via computer in gathering data from weather instruments, satellites, radar, and sediment cores. A field trip to southern Rhode Island beaches will reveal evidence of past hurricane strikes.
During class you will:
1. Download weather maps from websites and construct Power-Point presentations that animate the weather and storm systems
2. Find & track storms and storm systems as they develop
3. Understand how weather observations are made
4. Know about land-falling hurricanes in Rhode Island
5. Learn about one storm system in great detail
*This Junior SPARK course is designed for students, 12 years and older, who are currently in the 6th and 7th grades (entering 7th and 8th grades Fall 2014). Older students are encouraged to register for our Senior SPARK courses.

People run short on money before payday because they don't budget for monthly expenses (rent, insurance, car payments, etc.). People also run out of cash because of unexpected expenses, (car repairs, health problems, or other unwelcome surprises). To avoid this, set aside a small sum of money from each paycheck for emergencies. Over time, you'll have quite a bit set aside in case the unexpected happens (and it almost always does!). Make a monthly budget for regular expenses andstick to it in order to limit your spending.
Try never to take out payday loans, installment loans, title loans, or tax refund appreciation loans. These are expensive, high-interest loans, used by desperate people who did not budget or save for emergencies. Compare these interest rates:
Some loans are designed so that you never pay back the original amount borrowed (the principal), which means that you continue to pay a huge finance charge on money you borrowed and spent a long time ago.
Example of a Payday Loan: Peter borrowed $300 from a payday lender two years ago. He still owes the $300, and has paid back over $2,000 for the $300 loan. He pays $75 per pay period in fees but still owes the $300. Peter is not a made-up character; this example comes from Professor Martin's research on payday lending in New Mexico.
Example of a Title Loan: Terry pays $400 a month on a $3,000 title loan, but the $400 only covers the interest on the loan. After paying $2,800 in interest after eight months she still owes the original $3,000. She is required to pay $125 a month for a mandatory road-side assistance plan, and one time had the car repossessed (taken away) for non-payment. It cost $220 to get the car back. She has paid much more than $3,000 and still owes $3,000! The car will be repossessed if she cannot make the payments. At these rates, she'll likely lose her car and still owe money on the loan!
Example of a Tax Refund Anticipation Loan: Tonya walks into T & S tax service and has them file her tax return. Tonya should be entitled to a $4,000 tax refund, and would receive the money within two weeks, but instead she accepts T & S's offer to give her a loan on her refund. She walks away with $3,500 instead, thereby paying $500 for a two week loan. See UNM Law School Tax Club for free tax assistance.
Information on these types of loans, and how you can avoid them and get a full tax refund, see Bankrate.com
Are these kinds of loans legal?
Despite the expense, the huge debt trap, and destructive, these loans are legal in many places. New Mexico has not been successful in regulation of this industry because the industry keeps changing its products to avoid the new laws. This leaves the consumers to watch out for themselves.
Loan customers are not always aware of the full cost of the loans when they take them out. Many do not understand that they just pay fees and never pay off the loans. Many people think that they'll be able to pay back the loans quickly, but most actually can't. And NOBODY, that's right, nobody, thinks they'll pay $2,000 or more, to borrow $300, and still owe $300!

On this episode of Ghost Hunters, TAPS heads back to the fan favorite, Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky, where more activity has been reported and a nurse's wing has been opened up for TAPS to explore. The activity reported includes solid dark shadows and voices. Steve and Tango start out their night in the Death Tunnel where they hear sounds, and loud slams, but can't figure out what caused them. Jason, Grant, and Maddie head over to the newly opened Nurse's Wing, where Maddie almost immediately goes into a defensive mode as if she can hear and sense something. Amy, who has never been to Waverly Hills before, and Adam take their turn in the Nurse's Wing and start to hear knocking.

In my last blog I mentioned that I was teaching a live on line course called More Breaking Rules. It is my second live on line course sponsored by the International Teacher Development Institute–iTDi.
I had mentioned it in passing but during the last 3 classes I have begun to realize why I prefer live on line teaching to a blog. THERE IS INTERACTION! While sometimes I get a few comments from visitors to my blog, other times I get no comments. So I have no idea a. whether anyone is reading what I write and b. what they feel and think about what I write.
One of the features of the platform that we are using for my live on line course is a Forum. Participants can send messages to the Forum which I and other participants can read and I can react to. Â This interaction I think is crucial to learning from each other.
I am attaching two comments from participants about m live on line course on the 16th of June and my reactions.
All the best.
