Sliabh na Cailleach, or the Mountains of the Witch as Loughcrew was known in the past, lies west of the town of Kells and south of Oldcastle in west Co. Meath, a strange and ancient piece of territory. Stretching in a chain over four tall peaks which spread out across 4 kilometers in an east/west chain, the area is littered with monuments from all eras. This has to be one of the most beautiful and powerful sites in Ireland. The neolithic chambered cairns are the oldest monuments, and along with Carrowkeel 75 km away in Sligo, is the best example of a stone age landscape remaining in Ireland. The landscape is gentle and female: rolling hills and soft contours, with fabulous views from the neolithic monuments. A map on the next page shows the main monuments, but check Google Earth or the Ordinance Survey site for more detail. The top of each summit is capped by a group of chambered cairns, originaly at least 40 to 50 monuments, though some say up to a hundred. Before I have done with the Irish instances I must append one in the form it was told me in the summer of 1894: I was in Meath and went to see the remarkable chambered cairns on the hill known as Sliabh na Caillighe, 'the Hag's Mountain,' near Oldcastle and Lough Crew. I had as my guide a young shepherd whom I picked up on the way. He knew all about the hag after whom the hill was called except her name: she was, he said, a giantess, and so she brought there, in three apronfuls, the stones forming the three principal cairns. As to the cairn on the hill point known as Belrath, that is called the Chair Cairn from a big stone placed there by the hag to serve as her seat when she wished to have a quiet look on the country round. But usually she was to be seen riding on a wonderful pony she had: that creature was so nimble and strong that it used to take the hag at a leap from one hill-top to another. However, the end of it all was that the hag rode so hard that the pony fell down, and that both horse and rider were killed. The hag appears to have been Cailleach Bheara, or Caillech Berre, 'the Old Woman of Beare', that is, Bearhaven, in County Cork. From 'Celtic Folklore Welsh and Manx' by Sir John Rhys, 1901. Loughcrew is one of Ireland's ancient wonders. It is the third of Ireland's great complexes of chambered cairns as you move from the west coast to east. The oldest such site is found at Carrowmore by the Atlantic in Co. Sligo: a great oval of stone circles at the heart of a peninsula, overlooked by the majestic Queen Maeve's cairn on Knocknarea. From here a great chain of ancient sites stretches eastward, gaining in size and complexity. The major next site is Carrowkeel in the Bricklieve Mountains in south Sligo, about 20 km southeast of Carrowmore. Between Carrowkeel and Loughcrew are the sites of Sheemor and Sheebeg in Leitrim and Corn Hill in Longford. After Loughcrew comes the grandest megalithic site in Ireland, The Boyne Valley where the massive monuments of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth are found within a bend of the River Boyne, about 8 km from the east coast. Neolithic art on a passage stone within Cairn F on Carnbane West. Zig-zags, undulating waves and diamond shapes, the latter thought to be ancient units of land measurement by researcher Martin Brennan Picture copyright Padraig Conway. The neolithic cairns at Loughcrew are dedicated to the earth Goddess in her form as a Witch or Hag, a wise woman. According to Borlase in his 1895 volume The Dolmens of Ireland, the hag was named Garavogue, also the name of the shelly river in Sligo. This is interesting as Loughcrew and Carrowmore/Knocknarea/Sliabh da Ean are on the same line across the country. A ley or energy called Garavogue? The line continues on through Tara to the Hill of Howth, Benn Eader, with three neolithic cairns and a dolmen which is claimed to have the second heaviest capstone in Ireland, Aideen's Grave. The Hill of Howth is also featured in many, many mythological stories. Garavogue is said to have dropped the huge heaps of stones from her apron as she hopped across the hills forming the massive cairns, only to fall and die at Patrickstown. A mound on the west hill was pointed out as her grave in the last century. The neolithic sites consists of groups of chambered cairns clustered in bunches across the three peaks peaks, and Cairn M alone on the fourth. The hills are called Cairnbane to the west, Sliabh na Cailli at the centre and Patrickstown to the east. There is one cairn on the fourth hill, called Sliabh Rua or Carrigbrack. The hills have an extremely feminine presence, and, especially from Carnbane West, Sliabh Rua and Sliabh na Cailli appear like a pair of breasts with cairn nipples, just like the Papa of Anu in Kerry. The sites are mainly built above the 200 meter line, and the highest place is the top of Cairn T at 276 m above sea level. The Loughcrew hills looking south west from an outcrop on the side of Bruse Hill. Seven monuments remain on the summit Sliabh na Caillí, the central and highest peak. Cairn T, main structure is 35 meters in diameter and in good condition, with roof and chamber intact due to a Board of Works reconstruction in the 1960's. The other monuments lie in various states of disrepair due to removal of stones in the past. There are many fine engraved slabs within the chamber of Cairn T, and several more can be seen in the surrounding satellite mounds, S, U V, R, R1 and W. There are fifteen monuments on Cairnbane West, of which two, cairns D and L are considered 'focal' monuments. The largest cairns at 55 (D) and 45 (L) meters in diameter, are invisible from each other, even though they are only 200 meters apart. The chamber of Cairn L is in good condition, even though it was given a concrete roof in the 1960's and has many engraved stones within. Cairn D, the largest of all the cairns was ravaged in a fruitless 19th century search for the chamber, and still remains unopened. Six of the smaller monuments have all but vanished due to land clearance. The remaining sites which can be seen are A3, B, D, F, G, H, I, J, K, and L. At present (2012) the landowner, who keeps huge flocks of sheep up there, does not allow access to the west hill. The chamber of Cairn L, which has a functioning solar alignment to the sunrises around Halloween and St Brigit's day, is kept locked. The end recess of Cairn L at Loughcrew. The two freestanding pillars, gone green from the effects of sunlight on damp stone, guard the recess in the same manner as the north recess of Knowth east. To the right is the slim limestone pillar, dubbed the Whispering Stone by Martin Brennan. The greatest destruction at Loughcrew took place on Patrickstown, the eastern hill where as many as 21 sites are said to have been destroyed in the 1850's, shortly before the site was discovered by Conwell. The remains of three sites can be visited, one of which includes the wonderful calendar stone. |

by Boris Akunin
Category: Fiction / A - C
Publisher: Orion Publishing Co
Publication date: 11 August 2005
Number of pages: 336
International intrigue, professional rivalry, the criminal underworld of nineteenth-century Moscow, and an irresistible femme fatale: if Erast Fandorin was hoping for a quiet homecoming, he is about to be disappointed.
Erast Fandorin returns to Moscow after an absence of six years, only to find himself instantly embroiled in court politics and scandal. His old friend General Sobolev - the famous 'Russian Achilles' - has been found dead in a hotel room, and Fandorin suspects foul play.
Using his now-famous powers of detection - powers that belie his twenty-six years - Fandorin embarks on an investigation, during which the political and the personal may become dangerously blurred. With the assistance of some formidable martial arts skills, acquired whilst Fandorin was in Japan, our eccentric and ingenious hero must endeavour to discover not so much whodunit, as why ...
What the papers say:
'With The Death of Achilles, the hilarious and dashing Erast Fandorin, Akunin's debonair Russian Sherlock Holmes, just seems to get better and better...Akunin is more like Agatha Christie meets James Bond: his plots are intricate and tantalising...They are unputdownable and great fun...This is a stunning continuation of form from a Russian author whose thriller writing is world-class.' -- Viv Groskop SUNDAY EXPRESS (7.8.05) 'I always enjoy Akunin's novels, Fandorin with his deductive genius, ninja skills and his bizarre winning streak in games of chance, seens almost too impressive.' -- Stuart Kelly SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY (7.8.05) 'The Death of Achilles may be historical pastiche but its wit and invention are a source of constant wonder...All in all, a delicious confection.' -- Mark Sanderson EVENING STANDARD (15.8.05) 'The Death of Achilles offers agreeable entertainment. It is written with great assurance and much invention. It is a literary equivalent of a pavlova.' -- Allan Massie THE SCOTSMAN (13.8.05) 'This all terrific fun...There is plenty of the stuff you want from detective fiction: murderous dexterity acquired after long years of suffering; exotically lethal weaponry...; treachery in high places and detective genius, but Akunin is a fine novelist as well. The plot of Achilles is cleverly structured to reveal clues from both detective's and the villain's point of view.' -- Toby Clements TELEGRAPH (20.8.05) 'charming and highly amusing...a witty, rip-roaring thrill-fest.' -- Claire Figuero TIME OUT (24-31 August) 'If you have still to sample the Russian detective;s casebook, I recommend you do so now. You won't be disappointed.' -- Robert Colbeck YORKSHIRE EVENING POST (3.9.05) '...the latest in Akunin's excellent series of novels featuring Erast Fandorin.' -- Joan Smith SUNDAY TIMES (11.12.05) 'Boris Akunin is a playful writer, peppering his mystery-adventure stories with well-judged anachronisms and sly literary references.' LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS (26.1.06)

Research provides insights how genomes are reprogrammed at the start of life
15 March 2011
Collaboration between an international consortium of scientists from the Babraham Institute (an institute of BBSRC) and Universities in Germany and Japan has led to a breakthrough in understanding how the genomes of mammalian embryos are reprogrammed as new life begins. The mechanisms behind this complex process have remained enigmatic for the last 10 years. This research, however, published today in Nature Communications sheds new light on how the egg controls this process and reveals for the first time that a new type of epigenetic modification (5-hydroxymethylcytosine) appears to be vital during the earliest stages of embryo reprogramming.
In addition to advancing our knowledge of reprogramming during early mammalian development, these findings may also bring insight to understanding how epigenetic changes taking place during ageing can cause disease, since many adult conditions like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer and autoimmune disorders may be associated with failure of epigenetic regulation.
Professor Wolf Reik who led the study at the Babraham Institute, said, "This work provides exciting new insights into how epigenomes are reprogrammed in germ cells and early embryos at the beginning of life. Elucidating these mechanisms may help us to devise better strategies for making stem cell therapies a reality. Also, erasing old epigenetic marks that are inherited from parents and grandparents may be important for healthy ageing and for preventing common diseases such as diabetes or heart disease."
Epigenetic modification of DNA, for example by methylation, enables genes to be switched on or off at different times and places. The reprogramming or 'erasure' of such epigenetic tags after fertilisation is essential if cells of a developing embryo are to have the potential to become any type of tissue - a characteristic known as totipotency.
Jörn Walter, Professor of Epigenetics at Saarland University in Germany who led the German team said, "In humans the DNA code is faithfully transmitted from cell to cell and over generations. However, in each individual the chromosomes undergo dramatic and essential epigenomic changes during development. These changes do not alter the genes but affect their interpretation in all cells of a human body. Our work helps to understand the molecular signals and switches that are important in epigenetic programming and ensuring correct development."
Shortly after fertilisation, the egg starts the unpacking and epigenetic decoding of the sperm's chromosomes. This maternal "dominance" over the male-derived chromosomes was discovered ten years ago by the authors. A major early event governing the reprogramming is the loss of an epigenetic chemical tag called 5-methylcytosine (5mC). However, there is a striking difference between the demethylation of maternally and paternally-derived chromosomes in the fertilised eggs; the maternal genome appears to protect itself and resist demethylation.
The team discovered that the appearance of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) has a critical role in the process and is associated with structural reorganisation in the nucleus after fertilisation. Within the first hours of development, a strong accumulation of the novel modification 5hmC was seen, almost exclusively on male chromosomes. The egg produces an enzyme called Tet3, which drives the conversion of 5mC into 5hmC. The authors showed that removing this enzyme in the fertilised egg using RNAi methods dramatically decreased the conversion of 5mC into 5hmC. These findings also link the loss of 5mC, first observed by the authors 10 years ago, to its conversion to 5hmC. The authors also discovered a 'protection factor', a protein called PGC7, which guards maternal chromosomes against the modification, while allowing "decoding" of the paternal DNA-methylation tags by modification into 5hmC. Without PGC7, the methyl groups on maternal chromosomes become accessible for hydroxylation.
While the precise biological role of the large-scale conversion of 5mC into 5hmC remains unclear, the insights are likely to have wide implications for our general understanding of epigenetic reprogramming. It is known that external factors in the environment, or for example in our diet, may have consequences later in life or on future generations. Epigenetics is now established as the 'integrator' between the environment and the genome so understanding how epigenomes are modified is key to understanding the mechanisms underpinning lifelong health.
The Babraham Institute undertakes world-leading life sciences research to generate new knowledge of biological mechanisms underpinning ageing, development and the maintenance of health. The work was supported by the BBSRC, the MRC, University of Cambridge, a grant from Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, an EMBO long-term Fellowship and by the EPIGENOME Network of Excellence.
One of the Babraham authors, Dr Joana Marques, was recently awarded one of the L'Oréal 'Medals of Honor' for Women in Science. This award aims to improve the position of women in science by recognising outstanding women researchers who have contributed to scientific progress.

150 Addison to Australian Government
Cablegram D642 LONDON, 24 July 1947, 9.15 p.m.
My telegrams 23rd July, D. Nos. 638 and 639. [1]
It is our opinion that the Dutch may gain an initial military success but that the resulting situations in South East Asia cannot fail to cause dislocations in the whole area and that in spite of legal and juridical arguments which may be advanced by the Netherlands Government problem must be considered on a practical and realistic basis.
2. It is significant that in their statement in reply to our latest offer of good offices [2] (see the Foreign Secretary's statement in the House of Commons text of which is contained in my telegram D. 638) Netherlands Government were at pains to stress their friendly relations with and help received from both the United States and United Kingdom Governments (although in fact no offer of help has been made by the United States Government since the latest developments occurred) rather than to respond to offer of good offices made by the United Kingdom Government alone.
3. We are accordingly convinced that the only hope of arresting the present course of events is for the United States and United Kingdom Governments to induce the Netherlands Government to accept some form of arbitral solution (which would first have to be agreed between the arbitrating Governments). We may expect that the Dutch will dislike and perhaps resent this though Indonesians are likely to agree readily to any reasonable solution proposed which would put an end to the fighting.
4. The urgency of this proposed course is in our view increased by prospect that the matter will otherwise be taken before the Security Council with the probable consequence that it will be exploited by Russia to embarrass and discredit western powers and pose as champions of oppressed Asiatic peoples.
5. We have accordingly instructed the United Kingdom Ambassador at Washington to make an urgent approach to the United States Secretary of State on the above lines. Our object is not to suggest concrete terms of any solution which it might be possible to urge upon Dutch; this would of course require most careful consideration by experts. We consider, however, that to have any chance of success solutions must aim at finality and must provide that the Dutch and Indonesians bind themselves in advance to accept our and United States award.

Pretty good lipgloss! I have it in Bloom and Sangria. I like both colors a lot. Ideally it would have a better flavor and less glitter, but it shows up more subtle on your lips than it looks in the tube. I'm a fan!
I wanted a lip gloss that stayed put for more than five minutes, and this does the trick. It is a bit sticky though, which only bothers me when I am outside and the wind blows my hair into my face. But it's a nice little lip gloss that stays for a while.
I bought this lip gloss in Dulce De Leche #825 because some makeup expert said he goes to this for EVERYONE'S skin, from light to dark. The smell is okay, not great. You can use it as a stand alone product during the day (I can see this shade being flattering on almost anyone - it is a shimmery beige). Also, I like wearing this lip gloss over something - whether it is lipstick or lipstain. Currently I am using some CoverGirl Lipstains or Sephora Lush Flush. If your lipstick is too bright, it will tone the color down, but it gives your lips a glittery, almost frosty look so I tend to layer it at night.
What I like about it is staying power. Okay, maybe not 6 hours or whatever, but you know how bad normal lipgloss is - does it even make it thru one hour? It's about $10 but wait for a BOGO deal. BTW, thanks MUA reviewers for the tip about the mirror! I never even knew about that - I peeled the plastic sticker off the top and the cap is a tiny mirror. But you can only use it to check your application, not apply the product. Some people have complained about stickiness, but I do not find this overly sticky.

I love the infallible lip glosses! I have bloom, and I am purchasing more soon. I wrote a review on bloom as well. These are HG for me. They are the perfect gloss that you don't have to keep re-applying. I am more of a gloss person than a lipstick person. The glosses are priced pretty good, considering the texture and feel is very similar to the stila liplazes, and they last just as long. I only have to reapply this after eating. I like to pair this with a longlasting lipliner, so some color is still there in between applications. It does not stay on as long as marketed, but they do last very long compared to regular lip glosses. They are sticky/tacky, that's what makes them last, but a little tip, don't press your lips together until it is 'set' just wait a few minutes for it to set onto your lips, it won't be as tacky later on as when you first put it on. I only gave this 4 lippies because the color range could be better, such a shame cause these are awesome! I also love to pat pigments on top of mine to change the color, they stay on your lips pretty much all day with the infallible gloss underneath!
I loved how this looked and how it lasted, but it seemed to make my lips feel burny and chapped. I would wake up the next day with a rash around my lips, too. I regretfully threw mine away.
I really only use this over lipliner of various shades depending on my mood. I use mostly Bloom over Cliniques Lipliner in Tender Taupe, and it gives a nice, 'pink chocolate' effect that really lasts. I just vary how deep the lipliner color is to determine how deep I want the overall effect to be. My preference is to apply the lipliner, then run my finger over it to soften it and lighten it up a little, then apply the gloss. I hated all of the long-lasting lipsticks, blech!! But this, works really well at lasting without being drying AT ALL. One BIG NOTE OF ADVICE: I had the same problem with it transferring on my teeth, so what I do is this: Immediately after applying, I put a light coating of vaseline on my thumb joint down at the base of my hand and up the thumb itself, then pop that in my mouth and pull it out over the slightly closed lips a few times until no more color comes off. Learned this trick from Heidi Klum!! It really works! The vaseline creates a barrier from the color to your teeth. I know it sounds a little gross, but, hey, if it works.....!!

This stuff stayed on pretty good. I had the color Bloom. My bff searched high and low for it, and found the very last one stashed. I loved the color, and the consistency wasn't too bad. I've never had this problem before, so I know it's not my application - but the lipgloss KEPT sticking to my teeth. So needless to say, I didn't appreciate pink teeth, and I am no longer using this lip gloss :(
i needed a couple of glosses before going out of town...and i went to the makeup aisle in my local drugstore. i picked up 3 of these glosses. i loved a dark pink one...forgot the name...:(
they claim that there is a mirror on the top of the gloss...i cant see it...its too frosty.
after a few uses, the consistency of the gloss gets sticky....hated that..
also the applicator...it was so annoying...
I couldn't wait to try these when they first came out, and I was quite happy with my purchase.I am always putting balm, gloss or color on my lips as I hate when they are dry. The first thing that struck me was how this stuff seems to lock in lip moisturizer that you apply and extend its benefits.As far as this lipgloss goes, I don't know about six-hour wear, but I certainly don't have to keep re-applying balm nearly as much. Also, worth mentioning is I sometimes use a lipstick over this gloss to get longer wear out of it.One thing I'm not thrilled with is the range (or lack of) colors. It would be great if they had a fuscia and a plum for us olive skinned girls.

This is a good, lightweight AHA moisturizer with a silky-smooth matte finish. Despite being described as an AHA/BHA product, the amount of salicylic acid is too low for it to be effective. As for the AHA, Avene chose glycolic and lactic acids. The company doesn't reveal the percentage of these ingredients, but the total is likely around 5%. Considering this product's pH is 3.8, users can expect exfoliation to occur. I don't agree with Avene's claim that this provides "maximum exfoliation without irritation," but it will exfoliate all skin types. Those with blemishes would likely do better with a BHA exfoliant because the active ingredient, salicylic acid, can exfoliate within the pore and it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which glycolic and lactic acids don't.
Exfoliating AHA/BHA power smoothes skin while oil-absorbing micro-capsules provide sebum control. Highly effective free acids with a pH of 3.5 for maximum exfoliation without irritation.
Water, Cyclomethicone, Glycolic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Polyacrylamide, Lactic Acid, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Sodium Hydroxide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Disodium Phosphate, Bisabolol, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil, Dimethiconol, Disodium Edta, Fragrance, Laureth-7, Polysorbate 20, Salicylic Acid, Zinc, Gluconate
Building an entire skin-care line on a single concept, however meaningless that concept may be, is often all it takes to capture the attention of consumers, just because it sounds so convincing. Such is the case with Eau Thermale Avene, a France-based line whose claim to fame is the thermal spring water in its products.
The company's history is laced with romanticized folklore of the allegedly restorative power of this water, with some tales dating back to the 1700s. Building a skin-care line around what was known (or, more accurately, unknown) about skin 300 years ago doesn't make sense, because 300 years ago no one knew anything about skin care or how skin functions; certainly no one knew about sun damage or free-radical damage. For goodness sakes, women in the 1700s were using face powders laced with lead, and who would want to emulate that? Still, the stories Eau Thermale Avene concocts must be convincing some people to buy their products or we wouldn't have been contacted several times per week by readers asking me to review this line.
Avene maintains that their thermal spring water is curative not only because of its historical proof (more anecdotes than proof), but also scientifically because of its low mineral content and pure, pristine source. The company's owner (Pierre Fabre Laboratories) claims to have conducted over 150 clinical studies. However, as you might suspect, there only a handful of published studies, and they all are related to the supposed healing power of Avene's thermal spring water when applied to skin that's been compromised by exposure to radiation or by cosmetic corrective procedures, such as light-emitting devices. Their studies showed that the water has soothing properties and that it helped damaged skin heal faster when compared with the effects of another type of spring water, the standard post-burn treatment, or randomly selected skin-care products.
As convincing as that sounds, the studies don't hold water for several reasons: first, the improvement seen from Avene's thermal spring water was nominal compared with the control; second, the studies were sponsored by Avene; and third, the studies didn't show how the spring water may have fared against numerous established topical anti-irritants or other FDA-approved skin protectants (Sources: Annals of Dermatology and Venereology, Special Edition, January 2008, pages 5–10; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2007, pages 31–35; and Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, September 2007, pages 924–928).
Avene offers additional studies on their Web site, but the majority again are published in the company's own publications; and none were peer-reviewed. Bottom line: There is absolutely no evidence that any type of thermal spring water allows skin to resist or correct signs of aging. Helping skin maintain its barrier is great, but there is abundant research showing that substances such as ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin do a far better job.
To its credit, Avene does offer some worthwhile products for sensitive skin. Yet they also offer products that can be problematic for sensitive skin because they contain fragrance and other potentially harmful ingredients. More important is the lack of significant anti-irritants that could have been extremely helpful for those with sensitive skin.
For the most part, unless you're a believer in the company's thermal spring water, there is little reason to get excited about their products. They offer some good cleansers, alternatives to retinol (using a similar ingredient known as retinal and retinaldehyde, which is one of the more effective derivatives of retinol), and some basic yet effective moisturizers for sensitive skin that's also dry.
Given this line's penchant for extolling antiquated skin-care fables, it shouldn't be surprising that their products lack an impressive selection of state-of-the-art ingredients whose benefits for skin are substantiated by reams of research. Interestingly, many of the claims prevalent throughout the cosmetics industry are found here, too, but without the formulas to support them and to actually deliver remarkable antiwrinkle results.

With over $500,000 in campaign money and the backing of many of Mesa's leading officials and developers, one would think that the City of Mesa's effort to develop Riverview at Dobson would be a foregone conclusion.
But not so fast!
The plucky Valley Business Owners and Concerned Citizens Inc., a group that in the past has used shoestring budgets to help defeat Mesa's city food tax, is on the watch.
The VBO objects to the $80 million in "incentives" that Mesa is offering to developers and businesses who relocate to Reverview. And for good reason.
As the Arizona Republic's Laurie Roberts reported, "this deal was done in secret. In fact, secrecy is standard operating procedure for any city preparing to give away copious amounts of the public's cash to developers. In this case, the Mesa City Council held at least nine private meetings to hash out the deal. One council member said the sessions were so secret she couldn't even take papers out of the room. So secret, in fact, that the attorney general is investigating."
The Goldwater Institute has long championed fundamental corporate tax reform that lowers the tax rates on all businesses. Such reforms help create economic prosperity.
But targeted tax breaks and incentives aimed at attracting specific businesses to specific locations end up being little more than corporate welfare. With any luck, the VBO will once again succeed in its efforts to protect Mesa's citizens from unwise development policy.

"Grief is a form of love," says my friend Maureen "Mo" Ryan.
Best known as the LaGrange Park-based television critic for HuffPost TV, Ryan has had a rough few years that she's dubbed the "Parent Apocalypse."
Four years ago, he mother was a diagnosed with Huntington's disease, a genetic disorder that Ryan describes as "Alzheimer's plus Parkinson's." In short: it's a fatal, degenerative disease that causes declines in muscle control, mood and cognition. Last year, Ryan's father died, leaving her to look after her mother's health and affairs.
At the time we recorded this podcast, Ryan had chosen not to get tested for Huntington's disease. She has a 50 percent chance of carrying the genetic disorder.
Yet, she's remarkably focused on what brings joy and how to deal with grief. Below, Ryan offers 12 strategies for coping with grief and coming to terms with death. For such a dark subject, we laugh a lot.
Below is an excerpt of our conversation, but you can listen to the entire exchange by finding "The Big Questions" on iTunes, YouTube or SoundCloud. "The Big Questions" is part of Sun-Times Media Local's Podcast Network.
1). Ask for help
I didn't know about Huntington's disease. I didn't know about how you interact with someone with dementia. I didn't know how cancer treatments work. That's a really hard thing to go through, feeling completely at sea when someone you love is in a crisis.
One thing that I have found, and everyone's coping strategy is different, it's very easy to let yourself get caught up in the hamster wheel of doing tasks for people and not just being with people.
2). Give yourself permission to escape
Give yourself space to process, and that will happen in weird ways. You will have methods of escapism that will surprise you. One of my big ones is just playing solitaire on my phone. I can do that for literally hours, but your brain needs a place to go.
Give yourself mental space. Give yourself permission to escape at times, because, otherwise, you really are no good to anybody.
3) See the person, not the disease
My mom is given this tremendously scary diagnosis and yet I see her laughing with her grandchildren. I see the pleasure that she takes in going out to a restaurant. She is super grateful, you know. There is value to her life. There is quality to it. She does enjoy being with her family.
4). The Law of Inversion
A lot of the things that I feared the most about how I would respond to these things, it's actually kind of made me stronger in those arenas.
All the biggest fears I had were inverted. I think I am a better parent, I think I am a more patient parent. I hope I am a more giving spouse.
5). Reframe
Please try to see yourself as a hero and not someone who is falling down on the job. Going through a personal crisis affects you deeply on an emotional level.
On top of that, in a crisis mode, you have to call this doctor. You have to call that pharmacy. You have to make sure this delivery gets made. There's millions and millions of "admin" things that get dumped on you. What you do is enough.
6). Feel the emotions
Unless you have fully experienced the terrible emotions, the hard things, and experience them on their terms — not on yours — you will not experience the great, fun, enjoyable emotions to the same degree. You don't get one without the other.
7). Find your people
Loving people is hard. Having loved ones in your life means that you will experience pain. You will experience loss, trauma, fear, and it gives people an excuse to share and to be there for each other. There for me, certainly. The amount of support that I got, it was mind-blowing. It really helped me. It really did.
The universe teaches you what you need to know. And it sends the people into your life that need to teach you that.
8). Get moving
Having a physical outlet is huge. For me, I go to the gym and I lift weights and I have been taking a weight training class for four years now. I take the class because that's kind of a community for me now.
Think about how you can treat yourself better because if nothing else, you are no use to anyone else if you are not functional, physically or mentally.
9). Do one thing at a time
Very big jobs can get broken down into smaller jobs. And those smaller jobs get done over time. And then the big job will be done. Just do one thing at a time.
10). Identify what your grief process looks like
Grief is an unpredictable beast. And it's going to be different day to day. But some things will recur. Patterns will recur. Respect that. Respect those grief processes because grief is another form of love. And if you've experienced deep love and a deep bond, the grief is going to be very deep and complex. And it's not something you can control. So figure out what those emotions, or what those dealing or non-dealing modes are for you. It is just unpredictable.
11). Be here now
That intimacy with mortality has changed me a lot regardless. I am kind of living day to day. I don't really look that far ahead or I try not to.
I'm really, really, really trying to do the things that are meaningful to me — continue to maintain and grow the relationships that matter to me. And so I have a really good sense of what I'll be thinking about on my deathbed.
12). Just sit
Sometimes when somebody's sick, all you can do is just sit there and be there. And you know we were going back to that quality of life thing, it is like, "What is the quality of life that I can impart to others?" And really "doing" is such a great distraction. But sometimes just "being" is all that you can do — Just sitting with someone and holding their hand.

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Bless the LORD, my rock, who taught my hands how to fight, who taught my fingers how to do battle! | 1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. |
2 God is my loyal one, my fortress, my place of safety, my rescuer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, and the one who subdues people before me. | 2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. |
3 What are human beings, LORD, that you know them at all? What are human beings that you even consider them? | 3 O LORD, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him? |
4 Humans are like a puff of air; their days go by like a shadow. | 4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow. |
5 LORD, part your skies and come down! Touch the mountains so they smoke! | 5 Part your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke. |
6 Flash lightning and scatter the enemy! Shoot your arrows and defeat them! | 6 Send forth lightning and scatter [the enemies]; shoot your arrows and rout them. |
7 Stretch out your hand from above! Rescue me and deliver me from deep water, from the power of strangers, whose mouths speak lies, | 7 Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners |
8 and whose strong hand is a strong hand of deception! | 8 whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful. |
9 I will sing a new song to you, God. I will sing praises to you on a ten-stringed harp, | 9 I will sing a new song to you, O God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you, |
10 to you—the one who gives saving help to rulers, and who rescues his servant David from the evil sword. | 10 to the One who gives victory to kings, who delivers his servant David from the deadly sword. |
11 Rescue me and deliver me from the power of strangers, whose mouths speak lies, and whose strong hand is a strong hand of deception, | 11 Deliver me and rescue me from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful. |
12 so that our sons can grow up fully, in their youth, like plants; so that our daughters can be like pillars carved to decorate a palace; | 12 Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace. |
13 so that our barns can be full, providing all kinds of food; so that our flocks can be in the thousands— even tens of thousands—in our fields; | 13 Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields; |
14 so that our cattle can be loaded with calves; so that there won't be any breach in the walls, no exile, no outcries in our streets! | 14 our oxen will draw heavy loads. There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets. |
15 The people who have it like this are truly happy! The people whose God is the LORD are truly happy! | 15 Blessed are the people of whom this is true; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD. |

This is a great neutral-but-better color on my (PPP with very dark hair and eyes). Since Clinique discontinued Cupcake I have been searching for a great everyday lipstick, and this color is great. It's a browny pink on me. It is very very matte though, so don't expect any shine, or even much of a creamy feel. It feels very "thin", if that makes any sense, but does a great job at staining the lips so I am careful not to apply too much. The scent is alright, and the packaging is classy. A great product.
ETA: after wearing for a few weeks I've decided this is too brown for my skin tone. It tends to make me look washed out, AND it's a very drying formula. So I deducted 1 lippie.

Detective is a neutral YLBB colour. Its sort of rosey brown more rose than brown. Has a creamy texture. Prefer the 30 Am in this range, but this is a nice shade.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration Tuesday proposed spending more than $3 billion to settle a long-running lawsuit with Native American tribes that claim they were swindled out of billions of dollars in royalties for oil, gas, grazing and other leases dating back more than a century.
Those leases have been held in trust and overseen by the Interior Department since 1887.
If cleared by Congress and a federal judge, the settlement would be the largest tribal claim ever approved against the U.S. government — exceeding the combined total of all previous settlements of Native American claims.
Under an agreement announced Tuesday, the Interior Department would distribute $1.4 billion to more than 300,000 Native American tribe members to compensate them for historical accounting claims, and to resolve future claims. The government also would spend $2 billion to buy back and consolidate tribal land broken up in previous generations. The program would allow individual tribe members to obtain cash payments for land interests divided among numerous family members and return the land to tribal control.
The settlement alo oud retea chlashp ccun o u t 60milin ortriba members to attend college or vocational school.
Last year, a federal judge ruled that the Indian plaintiffs are entitled to $455 million, a fraction of the $47 billion or more the tribes have said they are owed.
In 1887, in an effort to assimilate Native Americans, Congress passed the Dawes Act, allowing the federal government to seize tribal land, divide it up and assign it individual tribal members. Historically, tribes owned land collectively.
Complications ensued when control of resource-rich land was given to private companies. Tribal members were supposed to be compensated, but later generations made competing claims on land that was gradually divided into smaller and smaller parcels.
President Barack Obama said settlement of the case, known as Cobell v. Salazar, was an important step to reconcile decades of acrimony between Indian tribes and the federal government.
"As a candidate, I heard from many in Indian Country that the Cobell suit remained a stain on the nation-to-nation relationship I value so much," Obama said Tuesday in a written statement. "I pledged my commitment to resolving this issue, and I am proud that my administration has taken this step today."
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar called the case a top priority for him and Obama and said the administration worked for many months to reach a settlement that is both honorable and responsible.
"This historic step will allow Interior to move forward and address the educational, law enforcement, and economic development challenges we face in Indin outr,' Slaarsad.
heprpoedsetlmet ffct tribs across the United States, including virtually every recognized tribe west of the Mississippi River. Tribes in North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma and Montana are especially affected by the breakup of Indian land into small parcels, said Keith Harper, a lawyer who represents the plaintiffs.
Elouise Cobell, a member of the Blackfeet Tribe from Montana who was the lead plaintiff in the case, called the proposed settlement crucial for hundreds of thousand of Native Americans who have suffered for more than a century through mismanagement of the Indian trust.
"Today is a monumental day for all of the people in Indian Country that have waited so long for justice," said Cobell, who appeared at a news conference Tuesday with Salazar, Attorney General Eric Holder and other U.S. officials.
"Did we get all the money that was due us? Probably not," Cobell said, but added: "There's too many individual Indian beneficiaries that are dying every single day without their money."
The settlement would give every tribe member with an Interior Department account an immediate check for $1,000, with additional payments to be determined later under a complicated formula that takes into account a variety of factors. Many tribe members also would receive payments for parcels of land that are held in some cases by up to 100 family members, in an effort to consolidate tribal land and make it more useful and easier to manage.
The settlement does not include a formal apology for any wrongdoing by the U.S. government, but does contain language in whchU.. ffcilsacnolegea 'beah f rut' o Idin lad issues.
An apology "would have been nice," Cobell said, but was less important than settling the dispute. "Actions are more important to me than apologies," she said.

Dishonest money-making was under scrutiny
The picture of 2012 elsewhere in the world was equally depressing. Although the UPA survived the coalition politics, the coalition governments in Italy and Japan fell. Media ethics came under severe scrutiny in the UK, following Rupert Murdoch-led NewsCorp's phone-hacking scandal, as well as in India. One of India's leading TV channels, Zee, is facing investigation into alleged blackmailing of businessman-MP Naveen Jindal reportedly demanding Rs. 100 crore to drop a campaign against the business group over its involvement in the coal block allocation scandal. Murdochs – father and son – were summoned to the House of Commons to face grilling by the Parliamentary committee. Junior Murdoch was attacked with shaving foam pie. Two Zee editors spent weeks in the lock-ups to face police investigation. Management deficit grounded cash-strapped Kingfisher Airlines, India's second largest commercial carrier, and threatens to bust the embattled Sahara group over returning public deposits amounting to thousands of crores of rupees.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, suffering from severe lung infection, threatened to expose more illegal government deals across the world. The Indian government and money launderers have reasons to worry. Business and media baron turned politician Sylvio Berlusconi, who brough down the Italian government just before the 2012 Christmas, is said to be engaged with a girl, 48 years his younger. The former Italian prime minister's fresh wedding is likely in 2013. The America's top commander in Afghanistan, General Petraeus, lost his job over sex scandal. NATO soldiers in Afghanistan continue to dies in hordes in attacks by Afghan police and military, owing allegiance to Taliban. Repeated school massacre in the US, the last one being at Connecticut in early December, eroded the confidence of parents and guardians of American children across the country leading the chorus against the lack of public security and free arms sale.
John Dalli is considering legal action over the circumstances in which he was removed from his job as European Health Commissioner. Party leaders in the European Parliament have unanimously backed a new code of conduct for members after a spate of alleged corruption scandals. Dishonest money-making on the side has been under scrutiny among the European Parliament's group presidents. Bribery allegations in the European Parliament have brought promises of tighter rules to govern relations between the members and lobbyists. Brazil's Supreme Court found three top aides of former President Luiz Inacio da Silva guilty of corruption. An anti-crime squad in the southern French city of Marseille has been shut-down due to alleged widespread corruption. The wife of former German president, Bettina Wulff has published a new autobiography in which she rejected allegations that she once worked as an escort. The London Summer Olympics and Para-Olympics went off peacefully amidst unprecedented security, reconfirming China's ascendancy in the games. India, the world's second most populous country, failed to bag even a single gold.
'Vatileaks' of modern day Judas shook Catholic Church as Pope Benedict XVI's personal butler, Paolo Gabriele, 46, was accused of leaking sensitive documents to the media. The scandal has come to be called 'Vatileaks'. Paolo got Christmas pardon from the Pope. Umberto Bossi, founder and former leader of Italy's Northern League is under investigation in a probe into the misuse of public funds. British Prime Minister David Cameron was forced to make a statement in the House of Commons to defend his embattled cultural minister against alleged secret help to embattled media mughal Rupert Murdoch. Former Turkish head of police, Mehmet Ağar, was handed down a five-year jail sentence, 15 years after a scandal exposed links between the police and the Mafia. Former US presidential candidate John Edwards has appeared in court in America on charges of using campaign contributions to cover up an affair. Spain's King Juan Carlos invited public ire for his elephant-hunting holiday to Botswana at a time when the country is reeling under a debt crisis.
The Chinese Communist Party's Central Committee expelled its former top politician Bo Xilai's on crime and corruption charges. The New York Times said Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's family has accumulated huge wealth during his period in power. On November 15, China's 'princeling' Xi Jinping was crowned the new head of the ruling CPC and the powerful military in a smooth transition to steer the world's second largest economy over the next decade, ending the 10-year reign of President Hu Jintao amid concerns over rampant corruption and widening rich-poor divide. Xi Jinping will assume the charge in March, 2013. Sino-Japan relations reached almost a flash point over the control of a tiny island, Senkaku, in East China Sea. North Korea's year-end rocket launch and intercontinental ballistic missile programme and the presidential election victory of Park Guen-hye, daughter of South Korea's longest ruling former dictator Park Chung-hee, added diplomatic tension in east Asia.
Secular Egypt voted for Islamist constitution. UN 'observer' recognition to the state of Palestine and the rise of Arab Spring brought hope for peace and democracy in West Asia despite the defiance of Syrian dictator, Bashar Hafez al-Assad, against the growing public and international demand for him to step down to usher in democracy in the Arab country that led to massacre of tens of thousands of innocent as well as revolting Syrian civilians through 2012.
Notwithstanding the hanging of Ajmal Kasav, the lone survivor among the Pakistani terrorists involved 26/11 Mumbai massacre held with a killer carbine in hand, the Indo-Pakistan peace process continued to suffer following unnecessary and undiplomatic verbal onslaught against India by visiting Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik in New Delhi. Pakistan failed to decide on according the most favoured nation (MFN) treatment to India for business and commerce despite an earlier understanding on the subject between the two countries. Planners have scaled down India's 12th Plan annual GDP growth target to eight per cent from an earlier 8.5 per cent. (IPA/Concluded)
