US President Obama speaks in White House Rose Garden 370.

US President Barack Obama on Wednesday said that while the US rejects all efforts to denigrate the beliefs of others, there is no justification for the type of violence that left four US diplomats dead in Libya a day earlier. "Make no mistake. We will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people," Obama said in the White House Rose Garden, flanked by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.Obama strongly condemned the killing of the US ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff as an "outrageous attack" and ordered increased security at US diplomatic posts worldwide."Yesterday was already a painful day - 9/11," he said, "then last night we learned news of this attack. As Americans we must never, never forget our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it... sometimes to lay down their lives for it.""I have directed my administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe," Obama said in a statement after the US diplomats were killed in Benghazi."While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants," he said.Two of four Americans killed Tuesday died in a shooting during an attempt by US forces to evacuate staff from a safe house, Libya's Deputy Interior Minister Wanis Al-Sharif said.US consular staff were moved to the safe house after the attack on the consul building in the eastern city of Benghazi in which the ambassador was killed, minister Wanis Al-Sharif told a news conference.A plane with US security units arrived from Tripoli to evacuate other staff but militants discovered the location of the safe house, he said, "It was supposed to be a secret place and we were surprised the armed groups knew about it. There was shooting."Two American security personnel were killed in the shooting, Sharif said. Two other people were killed and between 12 and 17 wounded.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu extended his condolences to the US over the deaths of the four members of embassy staff. "Israel stands beside the American people in their grief," he said. "We send our condolences to their families. The state of Israel, which stands at the forefront of the fight against terrorism, and has lost many love ones, identifies deeply with the American people during this time." US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier in the day condemned the attack as the work of a "small and savage group" but said US-Libyan ties would not suffer."I ask myself, how could this happen? How could this happen in a country we helped liberate, in a city we helped save from destruction?" Clinton said. "This question reflects just how complicated and, at times, how confounding the world can be.""But we must be clear-eyed even in our grief. This was an attack by a small and savage group, not the people or government of Libya," she added in a brief appearance.Clinton said a free and stable Libya was in US interests and that ties between the two countries would not be a "casualty" of the attack.Libyan Deputy Prime Minister Mustafa Abu Shagour condemned the killing of the US diplomats as a cowardly act.The consular official had died after clashes between Libyan security forces and Islamist militants around the consulate building. Looters raided the empty compound and some onlookers took pictures after calm returned.In neighboring Egypt, demonstrators had torn down an American flag and burned it during the protest. Some tried to raise a black flag with the words "There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his messenger," a Reuters witness said.UN, Russia condemn attackThe United Nations strongly condemned and said the "horrific and tragic attack" further spotlighted the security challenges facing Libyan authorities."The United Nations rejects defamation of religion in all forms, but there is no justification for violence such as occurred in Benghazi," UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman told the UN Security Council during a regularly scheduled briefing on Libya.Libya's Deputy UN Ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi told the UN Security Council that an investigation was underway and Libyan authorities would bring those responsible to justice."This attack in no way serves the interests of the people or the Libyan authorities and cannot be considered as a defense of Islam," Dabbashi said. "This attack gravely damages the image of Islam."German UN Ambassador Peter Wittig told reporters before the meeting that the 15-nation Security Council hoped to issue a statement soon condemning the killings.Russia expressed deep concern on Wednesday over the killings and said it considers all attacks on diplomats to be "manifestations of terrorism.""Moscow views the events in Cairo and particularly in Benghazi, which led to the tragic deaths of four American diplomats, with deep concern," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement."We decisively condemn all attacks on foreign diplomatic representations and their employees as manifestations of terrorism that can have no justification," it said.

Q: If this covers a full year of biology, why does the description say students only earn .5 credits instead of 1 full credit?
This course should take between 60 to 90 hours to complete, depending on any additional hours spent on added research, essay writing assignments, or suggested lab work, if assigned. Elective courses that take 60 hours are commonly assigned ½ credit, while those 120 hours or more are assigned a full credit; core courses require over 150 hours for a credit. Based on whether this is being used as a core or elective course, make your final credits calculation based on the total hours of coursework completed in the year.

League One Leyton Orient Chair Wants Share Of Olympic Stadium With EPL West Ham
League One football club Leyton Orient Chair Barry Hearn believes that "it would be 'stupid' to block the club from sharing the Olympic Stadium" with EPL side West Ham if the two clubs "end up playing in the same division next season," according to Simon Johnson of the London EVENING STANDARD. A judicial review is being held at the High Court Thursday "to look into the decision" by the London Legacy Development Corporation to award sole tenancy to West Ham, which will get to move into the site in '16. Hearn believes Orient's chances have "improved because they have genuine hopes of promotion to the Championship following their perfect winning start to the season." While West Ham is currently 10th in the Premier League, Hearn would not be "surprised if they were relegated." Hearn: "That adds another dimension to it [could be playing in the same league next season]. The whole thing is so ridiculously lacking in common sense. Let's just share it, let's get the maximum value out of the taxpayers' pound. Of course, it makes it even more stupid if we were to get promotion to the Championship" (EVENING STANDARD, 9/18).

The Chef's Table
Thai cuisine for a new age
Traditional tastes meet modern presentation in the intimate Chef's Table banquets at Sala Rim Naam
Vichit Mukura, executive chef at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, loves traditional Thai food, but he also wants it to look modern on the table. He manages to please patrons who love fine dining while at the same time ensuring authenticity.
The pinnacle of his success is in the Chef's Table, a multiple-course feast served to just a handful of diners at a time at Sala Rim Naam, the hotel's restaurant across the river. It's also a chance to witness kitchen magic as it's created.
You get to watch Vichit in action as he prepares your six- or eight-course dinner, complete with all the frenzy and sound effects. For a recent press preview there were nine courses!
Vichit buys all the ingredients on his own during morning visits to markets like Or Tor Kor. We also had brown rice from his own experimental paddy in Pattaya.
"I never knew how fun it is to grow rice," he said. "I have my own milling machine. And it's a wonderful experience to be able to eat rice that you grew and milled yourself. That's my weekend obsession at the moment."
The first course was Goong Thong Piw Som Sa Gub Khao Foo, a deep-fried bay prawn with sparkling lime and crispy, fluffy red-jasmine rice, again from his property. The sizeable prawn was garnished with salad and lively with the tang from the rind of a bitter orange.
Next was Poo Ja, deep-fried, herbed crabmeat and minced chicken. The dish usually features pork rather than chicken, but the chef is Muslim. In this case the religious stricture proved a blessing. I thoroughly enjoyed the mix of cilantro root, garlic and pepper infused in the crab and chicken along with eggs, coconut milk and fish sauce.
Vichit reckoned it was time for sorbet to prepare the palate for the delights still to come. He whipped up Wan Yen Tom Yum, with a taste akin to real tom yum that left our mouths watering.
The next course was Ped Ob Takrai Grob Gub Bamee - roast duck with crispy lemongrass and garlic egg noodles. It was slightly sweet and garlicky but set off by the tang of tamarind juice. Your're supposed to chew a little dried chilli with the duck.
Then there was Tom Yum Pla - spicy grouper soup with lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves - the most aromatic dish of the night thanks to the herbs. The white fish flesh was firm and the soup quite spicy. In terms of Thai flavours, it was the epitome of what soup should taste like.
Next was Goong Nueng Prig Manao Nom Sod, which is steamed blue river prawn with a spicy sauce and white egg. Three ingredients did the trick here: lime juice, egg white and fresh chilli. I couldn't get enough of the salty-sour juice on my plate and wished there had been bread to dip in it.
The heaviest course of the night was Kae Yaang Gub Saranae Rae Makham - grilled lamb with Thai mint and sweet-and-salty tamarind sauce. Where else on earth could you have lamb with tamarind and edible flowers?
Served with brown rice, with its characteristic natural fragrance of pandanus leaves, the dish tasted great with the tamarind sauce. You eat the yellow blossoms of dok sanoh (sesbania) and you're astounded at how well flowers pair with lamb.
There was yet more rice from Vichit's farm in the next course, Pla Hima Nom Khao Khing Grob - fried snowfish with green rice and crispy ginger. In this case the rice was five months old, still soft and milky. He boils it in stock and adds the fish and ginger. The result looks like your morning porridge, but it was a gentle finale for our evening culinary journey.
Dessert was red-jasmine-rice ice cream served with the Thai dessert known as "yellow bean pocket", with shredded coconut meat and sugared sesame seeds. This is ice cream that will make you forget about traditional Thai coconut ice cream forever. I never knew brown rice could be so versatile.
We did indeed learn a lot about rice and cooking in general. "With the Chef's Table," Vichit said, "I want to show that Thai food can really be appreciated here at home, and not just overseas."
A true feast
The six-course Chef's Table dinner costs Bt2,900-plus and the eight-course version Bt3,900.
Seating is limited to just four to seven people. Reserve your place at (02) 659 9000, extension 7330, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Film District, Ken Regan, FILE, Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — As she developed her story about lovers on opposite sides in the Bosnian War, Angelina Jolie drew on everything she had learned traveling to combat zones. But she started at home, imagining herself and partner Brad Pitt at such extremes.
"In the Land of Blood and Honey," Jolie's writing-directing debut, hurls two lovers — a Bosnian Muslim woman and a Bosnian-Serbian man — from their tender relationship before the war into the horrors of work and rape camps, where brutality, betrayal and degradation are daily matters.
"The closest relationship in my life is Brad," Jolie said in an interview for the film, which opens in limited release Friday and expands in January. "It's the man-woman relationship. So for me to put myself in a position to be able to write from, it would be, well, what if it was me, and what would it be like? And what would it take? Could I ever turn on him? Would this ever happen? Would he ever turn on me? So you try to put yourself inside, and that's how that relationship started."
The result is worlds away from the vanity projects some superstars end up with when they play at directing. Jolie holds nothing back in depicting the savagery of the war that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, as ancient ethnic rivalries reignited after decades of communist rule.
As a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations, Jolie, 36, had visited Bosnia and felt a growing compulsion to help dramatize a conflict about which the world at large had been misinformed or even indifferent.
When the war broke out, Jolie herself was a teenager with other things on her mind than conflict in a distant land.
"I was being a 17-year-old. I knew only a little bit about it," Jolie said. "It just felt very far away, and until America got involved, I don't even remember any headlines in our papers."
As the years passed, Jolie remained busy with other preoccupations — Hollywood party girl, Academy Award winner for "Girl, Interrupted," marriages to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, the latter a wild love affair that was a gold mine for gossip tabloids.
Then came the action comedy "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," in which Jolie and Pitt starred as married assassins gunning for each other. Home-wrecker headlines followed as Jolie took up with co-star Pitt, who ended his marriage to Jennifer Aniston.
Jolie already had begun her humanitarian makeover, adopting a child from Cambodia and using her celebrity to shine light on children in peril, the plight of refugees and other causes around the world.
As she and Pitt's family has grown — they now have three adopted and three biological children — Jolie's image has transformed from sinner to saint.
"I've always tried to step outside my comfort zone. Sometimes that can be good and useful for hopeful things like this," Jolie said, referring to her film. "And sometimes, when you're younger, it can be very destructive and a bad thing."
Visiting war zones changed her perspective, but it was the home front — taking on children — that made the big difference.
"That was what changed me completely, and then I knew that once you decide to become a parent, you can no longer be in any way self-destructive or selfish. You live for someone else, and it's over. It's all over," Jolie said, laughing.
"But in the greatest way, because the chaos — no wild days as a punk are ever as interesting or as chaotic as my life with my children is now. They can out-punk anybody you know."
Jolie said she wrote the screenplay for "In the Land of Blood and Honey" as a private exercise, but once Pitt read it, he told her to put it into circulation and get some feedback.

Herd Cage Owls for Conference USA Road Win
With the win, the Herd improved to 7-13 overall and 1-4 in league play, while also collecting its first road win of the season. The Owls drop to 5-13 overall and 0-5 in conference. Marshall now leads the all-time series versus Rice 8-2, having won five straight and all four meetings against the Owls in Houston.
Coach Tom Herrion went with a different starting lineup for the second-straight game, this time having consisted of Shawn Smith (Sacramento, Calif.), DeVince Boykins (Forest City, N.C.), TyQuane Goard (Charleston, N.C.), Ryan Taylor (Indianapolis) and Tamron Manning (Georgetown, Ky.).
Marshall got off to a fast 7-0 start over the home team and its opening scoring flurry continued as a long-range bucket from freshman forward Taylor pushed it to 11-3, capping a strong start. Stingy defense was key for Marshall in forcing five early Rice turnovers, leading to numerous fast break opportunities.
The Herd's first-half advantage grew largest when sophomore guard Chris Thomas (Denver) drained a three with 9:04 to play in the half, putting his side up 22-10. Even with the Owls settled in and trading buckets with the Herd, Marshall was not willing to relinquish its lead after its impressive start. At the final media timeout of the first half, 3:52 remained and a 29-20 lead was in place for the visitors.
At the half, the Herd led 33-22 courtesy of eight points and six rebounds from Taylor, paired with six points from sophomore forward Goard. Several categories had Marshall out front at the break, including bench points (14-2), second chance points (5-0) and points off turnovers (6-0).
With an added boost from its awakened crowd, the Owls opened the second half with a 9-1 run, bringing the score to 34-31 with 16:18 remaining in the contest. The difference would remain at three until a 12-2 run brought it to 50-37 after a pair of free throws from Goard. A lay-in from Boykins capped what ended as a 15-4 run to put the Herd out front 53-39 with 8:28 left.
Down the stretch, both sides exchanged buckets with Rice looking for a run to make a game of it late. With Marshall milking the shot clock through its point guard Canty, Taylor sank a mid-range jumper with little time remaining on the shot clock as 3:03 remained, making it 62-51.
The knockout blow was delivered by Canty as he grabbed a defensive rebound and was fouled, sending him to the line. After sinking both free-throws, the scoreboard read 66-53 with 56 seconds on the clock. As the clock ran out, Canty had scored eight of the Herd's last 11, clinching a 73-63 road win.
Marshall got to the line often on the night and made its attempts count, finishing the game 22-of-29 from the stripe (75.9 percent). Canty finished the night with 18 points and seven assists, while having gone 8-of-8 from the charity stripe. Taylor recorded 18 as well, along with eight rebounds.
Marshall will continue its trip with a nationally-televised tilt at Louisiana Tech, Saturday on CBS Sports Network at 8 p.m. Eastern.
In-game Twitter updates @HerdMBB, results and a recap from the night's action will be available at HerdZone.com.

Jordan Clarkson leaving Tulsa; will be prize for some school
Apr 17, 2012, 10:16 PM EDT
Danny Manning's first season at Tulsa just got more difficult.
The Golden Hurricanes will grant Jordan Clarkson's request for a transfer, leaving them without their best player and leading scorer.
According to the Tulsa World, Clarkson will be released to a limited number of schools, which most likely cuts out any Conference USA schools and in-state rivals such as Oklahoma State. But the rest of the Big 12 seems likely, including Texas. He'll have to sit out a season per transfer rules. (UPDATE: Tulsa will reportedly only allow Clarkson to talk to Vandy, Colorado and TCU. If true, this is patently unfair.)
He'll be a welcome addition to the school that lands him.
The 6-4 sophomore was Tulsa's leading scorer (16.5 ppg) and did it while taking nearly 30 percent of Tulsa's shots while on the floor and did it efficiently, too. He also hit double figures in every one of Tulsa's final 28 games, making him an easy call for all-league. He was the school's youngest first-team selection since 1995.
That's the kind of player who'll have an instant impact no matter where he lands.

Italian marines row: Killer's mother says 'justice' has been done, everything 'fine'

The mother of one of the Italian marines facing trial in India for killing two Kerala fishermen today said justice has been done and "everything is fine now".
The marines -- Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone -- face trial in the Supreme Court for shooting and killing two Indian fisherman while guarding an Italian oil tanker off the coast of Kerala last February.
India and Italy are engaged in a row after Rome reneged in its commitment to send back the two marines, who were allowed by the Supreme Court on February 22 to go to Italy for four weeks for voting in election.
Massimiliano' mother said "Everything is fine now."
She said her son is a soldier and is a "friend of India".
She said she is happy that the two are getting back to their work.
"Our boys are free to do their duty. Justice has been done," she said..
India is in the process of downgrading its diplomatic ties and decided not to post the Ambassador-designate to Rome who was to assume the charge by next week.
The Indian government had this week announced decision to initiate review of entire gamut of relations with Italy which includes diplomatic, trade and defence ties apart from reaching out to the European Union, which was briefed on India's views and position in the matter.
The Italian government claims India does not have jurisdiction in the case as the incident took place in international waters.

Filling the Minutes
Posted on | April 3, 2015 | 3 Comments
If genetics plays a part, it would seem that I have a lot of life left ahead of me. My Granny was five weeks shy of 99 when she died; her sister will be 97 in June, and my mother's mother is set to turn 91 this month. I joke with Banks that he's got to get himself in peak conditioning so he can keep up with me as I plan to live another sixty years.
The thing is, though, sixty years is a long time and there's so much that can be poured in or seeped out of those days and weeks and months.
When I look at the lives the women in my family have lived, I wonder if I can keep up. I wonder if when I'm 97 or 98, I'll have stories worth telling, memories worth having… a life worth remembering. I wonder if when I'm gone, my family will spend days going through my things and laughing at what I chose to keep and what I chose to throw away. I wonder if they'll know me; if they'll see the things I've treasured and know what was most important to me. I wonder if they'll read what I've written and think "What a crazy woman she was" or hopefully "what I wouldn't give to look inside her head for a few hours."
Because that's what I've always thought about both my grandmothers and about my great aunts. I've always wanted to spend just a day or so wandering through their minds, seeing my grandfathers as young men to fall in love with, seeing my parents as children… seeing the world in the softened glow of the 1920s or 30s or 40s.
I look around at the "treasures" in my own house and I wonder why anyone would want any of them. The hand painted ornaments, the wedding china from a broken marriage, the box of my first dog's ashes that I still haven't parted with. I look around and I wonder what these things say about me, what they say about who I am… if anything.
If I have sixty years of life left to live, I wonder if I'll fill them with all the right things. I wonder if I've had enough fun to keep me laughing when my body gives out but my mind is still sharp. I wonder if I've spent enough time outside to keep me warm when I'm bed ridden, if I've spent enough love to have it pour back to me in my last days. Because that's what matters most, right? That you live while you're still alive. That you fill your heart and mind and soul with the moments that will replay over and over… the moments you'll want to replay over and over… as you slowly grow old.
I think it's time to make that promise to myself. That I won't waste the time I have. That I won't lie in a bed at 98 and wonder if I did enough or loved enough or just lived enough. I think it's time to start filling the minutes of my life with as much happiness as I can stand because there will be time, I'm sure there will be time, when all I'll have left are my memories.
The Safest Corners
Posted on | April 2, 2015 | No Comments
I want to tell you about the beauty of sitting with my grandmother as she took her last breaths, about the love that filled her house as my aunt and cousins, my mother and sister and I pulled and pressed and loved the things she held dear in her home. I want to tell you about how it felt to sit on the sofa in the boxed and folded house and to feel not so much the presence of my family, but the absence of my grandmother.
But I'm not sure those are things I can share. I'm so afraid that if I give them life on this page, they will lose their life for me and so I choose to keep them there, treasured, in the safest corners of my heart.
Today, I got up in my own home for the first time in a week. I got showered and dressed among my own things and packed J's lunch as though nothing on Earth has changed in the past seven days. I repeated "socks and shoes" like a mantra, encouraged tooth brushing, and did all the normal, every day things that I did before that soft and still moment when my Granny slipped away.
But this morning, I made lunch in the company of pots and pans my grandmother lovingly cooked in. I drank coffee beside her living room painting, by the light of a bright milk glass lamp that sat in the room I slept in when I'd visit my Granny after Papa died in '98. This morning I touched the glass of the Lilac painting that hovered over her living room table as I fed Riley out the back door.
I pinned a small, gold brooch to my dress just before I walked out the door… a brooch my granny wore to church, or perhaps a wedding… perhaps even my own. And all the while, I applauded myself on my return to "real life," my re-awakening to life in Macon, life at work, life at least seven hours from the people who treasured my Granny as I did.
Because that's what's the hardest, you know.
I sit here in a city, and an office full of people and not one of them loved or even knew my grandmother.
But I did.
And I know that even as I sort papers and return phone calls and emails, I'll be doing it with those memories of her gently pressed like the flowers of the sweetest corsage, and tucked in the safest corners of my heart.
The Things She Leaves
Posted on | March 28, 2015 | 2 Comments
(I know. It's not a blog post. But I doubt I will have the chance to share this with anyone any where else, and my Grandmother deserves to be loved and remembered just as all of us do. So bear with me while I just write.)
Before, there was a stillness about her… even in motion.
A type of timeless energy wrapped and coiled around
The inner workings of her mind, though
She didn't have much to say.
Or did she.
There may have been no boisterous love,
No fierce hugs or tender kisses that would neon sign a familiar
Or familial relationship.
But there were quiet dinners, with clink of fork on plate tapping it out,
And an array of plates and baskets
Painting artwork of her emotions toward us all.
There were softened days when the constant tick of the mantle clock
Beat a timely heart song along with
The shush and shuffle of her movement through the rooms.
But there was love. Always.
Before and after.
There was love.
After, there was motion,
Even in the stillness.
Fingers fluttered
Eyebrows lifted,
Eyes penetrated
Her words hit places, corners,
Curves and softness you forgot you had.
Places she knew better than most
Because, perhaps, she had those places, too.
After, there was a pouring out
Of emotion
Of sweetness
Of understanding
That life was short and important
And love
Was so important.
She could move you to tears
Or laughter
With the barest word.
She could move mountains
With the pat of her hand,
With the "woo‐hoo" call of a woman found.
But then in a moment,
In the briefest pulse of a lifetime,
She was gone.
A swirl of perfect biscuits,
Perfect pound cakes,
Perfectly flawed perfections
That you didn't know you'd miss so much
Until they disappeared
Into the stillness.
Even in motion, she was still.
And now in stillness,
All that remains is the soft, breathless movement of her soul.
Laughter through Tears is my favorite Emotion…

Since we got home from North Carolina, I've been hovering in between two worlds. One foot rests firmly in my day to day, get up, get to work, come home… but the other wanders the road between here and Greensboro, wondering when the call will come in that summons me home to re-celebrate the almost 99 years of life my Granny has spent on this Earth.
It's strange to sit and wait for a loved one to die.
J keeps asking me if Great Granny is dead yet, but it's not so he can grieve, it's because he knows that when she goes, he'll get to see his cousins again. That little bit of five year old always makes me smile. He'll ask with an almost hopeful look, and then, as if he realizes that his question might upset me, he says "I really want her to get better, though."
But we both know that she will not get better.
I spent time on Saturday afternoon, kneeling in the dirt of my "garden" that has been woefully mistreated since sometime last spring. I remember my Granny this way, pushing my hands into dirt, feeling the sun against the back of my neck. I remember that her yard was always full to the brim with life… plants and children and birds and butterflies. My sister and I used to beg my Papa to toss us into the hammock to create a "storm" where he'd pull the netting back and forth ferociously and nip at our backs and legs with his fingers. And all the while, Granny would garden.
J came outside to sit with me for a while, asking me about Great Granny and if she'd known him "his whole life." I told him she had… told him that for every second of his life she had not only known him, but loved him. He smiled big.
"When she dies, will Great Granny be able to walk again?" He asked with the hopefulness of someone who only tenuously grasps the idea of life and death. I told him I thought she would.
"Will she be able to see me again?"
Again, I told him she would. He thought for a moment, fingering the harmonica in his hand and looking around the yard.
"Then why doesn't she go ahead and die?"
His question was serious and straight to the point and not for the first time, I had to wonder why we force our bodies to linger long past when they need to be moving and breathing and suffering. I started to answer him, started to go into a long and in depth explanation of life and death and Heaven and J's sweet Great-granny… but as five year olds do, he stopped me with a question.
"Oh! Mom. When Great Granny dies, will she come back from the dead like Jesus or like a zombie?"
And we laughed.
And it was just what I needed.

The Giving of Strength
Posted on | March 18, 2015 | 2 Comments
I've never been much of a hugger.
I don't really like it when people do that lean in thing where you know that at any minute they're going to put at least one arm around you. My body goes stiff and I fall into an Ally McBeal moment where I wonder what would happen if I just stepped back and let them fall or maybe put up a karate high block like "No. Just…. no."
Because of my … under-appreciation of hugs, I've always been really careful to let J know that he's not required to hug anyone he doesn't want to hug. When some people get offended by this, I just explain to them that he's the master of his own body and he chooses who he lets hug him and who he hugs. Usually, my kid is a hugger, so it's not an issue, and as I said, I generally don't force him to make physical contact with anyone.
However, when we stopped by to see my Granny, his Great Granny, on Sunday when we left North Carolina, J asked if he could stay in the car and I could just tell her bye from him. Initially, I said that was fine. Initially, I fell into my routine of "he chooses," and told Banks to just let it go. Then we got to my grandmother's house and I realized that this was it. This was, without a doubt, the last time I would ever hold my Granny's hand, kiss her forehead, or make her laugh that hoarse half-chuckle that she does when she get's just a little "tickled" by something.
I told Banks to bring J in.
He didn't want to hug her, of course he didn't. She was lying there, so old and worn by time that there was barely any of her left to hold. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were barely seeing anything and she looked, for the first time in her life, like the almost 99 year old woman that she is. He didn't want to step closer, didn't want to meet her outstretched arms and I knew, without asking, that he wasn't interested in kissing or hugging this frail old woman before him.
So I did something I've never done.
I pushed him forward and leaned down to tell him that he absolutely, 100% HAD to hug his great-granny. And he reluctantly did it, stilted in his walk and leaning in like it pained him to even touch this woman who had greeted him into the world with the purest and happiest of loves.
And I realized that sometimes, hugs aren't for giving, they're for receiving. Sometimes, it's more about what you are offering to the person before you… the love, the warmth of your touch, the comfort that comes with just being held. My Granny always says "come here and let me feel of you" and what she means, I think, is just that… she wants the comfort of holding her loved one in her arms, to feel the warmth and life that they exude.
So I made my son hug her and then I hugged her as tight as was allowed by her tiny, fragile frame. I made him hug her, not because he owed it to me, but because we, both of us, owed it to her. We owed her that gift of letting her feel the strength and life in his small body and in my own. We owed her the knowledge that after she's gone, that strong little boy she held briefly will still be here, carrying her genes into the world. I think maybe that when you're losing your own strength, there's something uplifting in the physical feeling of someone elses.
Though I still don't love hugs and I still will balk slightly when someone leans toward me, I think I'm learning that sometimes it's not about the taking of my personal space… it's about giving some of my strength to someone else who needs it. And I think my son is maybe learning that, too.
Last night, as I was putting him to bed, he leaned in and put his head against my shoulder.
"I'm glad I got to say goodbye to great granny," he said softly. "I think she liked it when I hugged her."
The Dying of the Light
Posted on | March 16, 2015 | 3 Comments
For as long as I can remember, I have collected stories. I suppose it's part of what makes me, well… me. I collect the bits and pieces of other people's lives and I store them in my heart and I take them out and examine them piece by piece as though they were gifts; because in a way, they are. The stories people tell you about themselves and their lives are tiny gifts offered as a way to say 'Here. Know me."
My father's mother is a teller of stories. She has always told stories in a way that makes you laugh and picture yourself right there beside her, waking up on a cold winter morning to the stocking on the end of the bed. For a while, she told many stories, but as the years have passed, she's told the same stories, each one meticulously groomed and shared like little charms on the bracelet of her life. There's the story of her brother being pushed through the mud, the story of her sister taking off a shoe and beating her boyfriend and the girl she found him with through the window of a car. There's the story of my father locking the car doors and sliding back and forth on the back seat to keep her from getting him out at the doctor's office, the story of my father wearing the aviator cap, the story of my father playing in the fireplace, and crying over the Poky Little Puppy not getting his supper.
There are, sadly, very few stories of just my grandmother. She's always been the sort of person who tells you about others, leaving her own childhood painted in a soft watercolor of surrounding people. But there are stories of her in the stories she tells of others… just as there are with all of us. There are pieces of her woven into what she chooses to tell us about the people she has loved, about the things she has seen. She presses her love of stubbornness, her admiration of the joy of children into the stories of my great uncle, and her pride in the gumption and zero tolerance in the stories of her sister. She weaves a blanket of love through her stories of my father… of the love of his tender spirit, the love of his silliness as a boy, and the reminder to us and perhaps to him that those are the pieces of him she still loves the best. She repeats the stories as though to burn them in our memories, to push and prod and sear on our hearts the parts of her she is scared she'll lose.
This past weekend, I sat beside her with my sister and we encouraged her to tell those stories again and again, letting her smile with the memory of her children, the memory of her brothers and sisters. We encouraged her to remind us of what is most important about her life as it trickles out the corners of her eyes and down the sides of her cheeks. And as we stood to leave, she grabbed my hand with a soft ferocity and pressed it to her heart.
"Do you know my stories," her hoarse voice questioned, and I told her I did. And then with tears in her eyes, she asked a promise of me that I willingly gave. "Will you raise that boy of yours to know my stories?"
I promised I would. I promise I will. Because even when the light is dying, the memories of it and the stories it holds are seared on the softest underside of our eyes and hearts. And the storied seeds that my grandmother has passed to me, will be tended and treasured and it's fruits will be carefully passed along in the thread and fiber of my own collected stories.
Checking Windows
Posted on | February 25, 2015 | 3 Comments
Mornings aren't always easy at my house. Some days I repeat myself so many times that I want to pull my hair out. Some days I feel like the words "Get. your. clothes. on." are tattooed across my forehead and they're all I'll ever say, ever, for the rest of my life. Some days I just want to grab and shake my son and say "DON'T YOU KNOW I'M IN A HURRY?!"
But no matter how our morning goes at home, we always make it to school. Sometimes we race up the walk way. Some days I'm still pushing at him to unbuckle his seat belt, open the door, and use his feet to walk to class. It's like a constant push and pull of who is in charge, who is making the decisions. And sometimes I let him win, because I think that's what parents are supposed to do. And sometimes I let him lose… because I think that's also what parents are supposed to do.
But no matter how much we argue on the way to school, no matter how much I want to strangle him for talking back or not listening or throwing crazy fits over buttoning his pants or cleaning up his breakfast plates… no matter all of that, we start our day away from each other the same way.
I hover for a moment as he puts his jacket on the hook in his cubby. I wait while he slides his lunch box into it's place and smile as bright as I can while he surveys which of his friends are in the room already. Then I stretch out my arms and say "Okay… I have to go!" And he bends down into a runner's stance and takes off towards me while I do my best Westley impression, saying "Gently! Gently!" before he barrels into my arms. Then I back out the door, waving, and make my way down the front walk way, stopping every few moments to check the windows beside and behind me.
I don't check them because I worry he's unhappy.
I don't check them because I think that he may need me.
I check them because I think that's what parents do.
We check the windows for little faces pressed tight against the glass. We check the windows for silly faces we can return, for smiles we can bounce back, for kisses we can catch and press to our cheeks and foreheads. We check the windows not for them, not for the sake of our child but for the sake of ourselves, for the knowledge that the last moment they saw us, we were smiling. For the understanding that the last words spoken between us were cheerful and loving. For the reality that we need those tiny smiles and gap-toothed faces to remind us that WE, not they, are okay.
Sometimes J and I make silly faces for a few moments. Sometimes we blow kisses and catch them, bouncing our love for each other off the windows between us. And those mornings feel just about perfect because he needs me and it satiates my need to know that he is good and well and fine. And some days, he never notices me pull away, too enthralled in whatever is going on in his classroom. Those days are perfect, too, because he doesn't need me… and it reminds me that this, too, is what parents do. We let them move away from us, from needing us for any and every thing.
No matter the day, or the weather, or the amount of madness piled onto my plate before and after I leave the house and make my way to my desk, I have to check those windows. And because I do, I always know that for at least five minutes… everything is exactly right with my world.

Most days, I feel like I walk a very fine line. Well, "walk" is probably a generous word. It's more like a teetering balancing act where I'm hovering thirty feet above a round pool of sharks, just waiting for me to take a wrong step. Behind me, there's the world of my past, the world where… if I enter… I may never get out again. The world where I second guess every thing and every one, where I wonder what people are saying and doing behind my back. The world where I think that nothing could ever be good, ever again, because why would anything good ever happen to little old me?
Before me, there's the world of my potential future. The future where I'm strong. The future where I make decisions with authority, make choices with compassion and clarity… the future where I am complete and whole and healed.
And then there is me, teetering somewhere in between, close to neither, wondering which foot fall will send me plunging down into the pit I can never get out of.
I am not a fan of this person I find myself to be some days … this indecisive, scared, confused person, who wonders about each step… who questions every movement. Some days, I feel infinitely closer to the me of my past… the one who would and did let any one and every one walk all over her. Some days, I feel that I'm one half-step from the safety of the platform, even though that platform is the me that lets things happen… not the me that makes things happen.
Today is one of those days.
A day when I find myself so achingly close to stepping backwards onto the platform. I am so close to giving up on the quest to make myself that me I want to be… the me who waves at me from the platform so many thousands of feet away.
But on these days, when my past creeps up on me, when my feet want to carry me back instead of forward, I have to stop. I have to stop and regain my balance and look below and see that, yes, there are sharks. I have to stop and see that yes, I have many steps to go before I reach that other side. I have to stop and recognize that although I'm only a half step away from my past and it feels scary and overwhelming and tastes so much like the dripping sweat of failure… I am still balanced.
Maybe I've moved backwards.
Maybe I have a very long way to go.
But I'm still here.
I haven't fallen.
And as long as my feet waver here, balanced on the thinnest rope of my hope for the future… then I can still choose to move forward.
Giving Up The Clean
Posted on | February 10, 2015 | 2 Comments
When I was knee deep in divorce, my house was almost spotless. I'm not sure if it was to prove to myself that I could keep it clean, or to prove to him that he shouldn't have left, but for whatever reason, I worked diligently to keep the laundry done and the dishes done and the counters clean… and, and, and. I'm not going to lie and say you could eat off my floor, but when you came in my house, even unexpectedly, you were going to find it very neat.
It turns out, for me, having a perfectly clean home is a sure sign of a perfectly messy life.
Don't get me wrong, I still love having a clean house. And I work hard to keep this little home of mine as tidy as possible. But there are times the dishes sit in the sink. There are times when I don't wash the pots and pans immediately after dinner. There are times when the beds just… don't get made.
And yes, there are times when I have to wash a load of laundry three times because I somehow forget that it needs to be transferred to the dryer.
At first, I thought I was falling behind. I thought that maybe I was falling apart because didn't I handle all this before? Wasn't I able to do the dishes and the laundry AND everything else, before?
Last night, I was in a tailspin, trying to get the house back in to shape. I was stomping around and getting aggravated with myself. I mean, how could I have done it all then and can't seem to do any of it now? Why are there dishes in the sink? WHY IS THE FLOOR SO DIRTY? I had worked myself into quite the tizzy when it suddenly occurred to me that when I was in the midst of my divorce, having a clean house was, well…
It was the only thing I had control over.
I was exercising control over something small because all the big things were crazy and crazed and sad. I was putting my foot down and saying "This. This I can do, dammit. Look at how well I can do this."
I'm honestly surprised that I didn't take pictures of empty sinks and folded clothes and put them all over social media because that's how it felt. It felt like I was trying to prove that I was worthy of something or maybe everything.
But now?
Well, last night as I worked myself up over dishes and dirty laundry, something occurred to me. Now, I have a life for myself. I have a job I love, a boyfriend I love, a life that I love. I don't have to prove my worth to anyone… not even myself.
And if knowing I'm worth the world is what I get in exchange for my clean house, then so be it. It's a pretty good alternative. I'll take the dirty dishes with the smiles over squeaky clean tears. I'm learning to cut myself some slack, to give myself the break I deserve. And if that means sitting down to watch television with Banks and J instead of immediately cleaning the dishes, then that's what I'm going to do. Because my house may be cluttered and in need of a good clean, but my life is pretty perfect.
And that's a trade I'll take every day.
