This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/309,498, filed on Sep. 23, 1994, now abandoned.
The invention relates to a microwaveable food product composite comprising a coated food product and a mode filtering structure. Such composite products provide a method of enhancing the heating of the surface layer of the coated food product by microwave energy.
Conventional microwave cooking or heating of coated food products does not provide effective browning or crisping of the food coating. In order for the coating to be suitably crispened the surface coating is required to reach a higher temperature than the bulk of the food. For this reason, a conventional convection oven set at a relatively high temperature or frying in hot oil has been the traditional method of heating such food products.
It is clearly desirable to be able to heat such products in a microwave oven. The conventional method of trying to meet this need in microwave cooking has been by means of devices known as susceptors. A susceptor is a device that incorporates lossy material ie, material that absorbs microwave energy to become heated. The susceptor is placed close to the surface layer to be browned or crispened so that heat in the susceptor is transferred by conduction and radiation to this surface layer. This process necessarily requires the temperature of the susceptor to be higher than that of the surface layer in order for the heat to flow into such layer. It has been found that there are practical disadvantages in heating the susceptor to the necessary high temperatures. There is always the risk of overheating and of breakdown of the material of the susceptor.
In contrast to the concept of using a susceptor to heat a surface layer of a food article, either directly by a wrapping, or indirectly through a pre-heated dish, EP 382 399 (Alcan International Ltd) provides an arrangement in which the surface layer of the article to be heated as well as its main portion beneath the surface layer continue to be heated dielectrically, ie by the microwave energy, without first converting such energy into heat in a susceptor. The microwave energy field is so altered that the dielectric heating effect within the surface layer is enhanced relative to the dielectric heating effect in the main portion of the article above that which could be obtained in typical conventional microwave ovens. As a result the surface layer reaches a higher temperature. The enhanced heating effect within the surface layer is achieved by means of a so-called mode-filtering structure that causes the microwave energy to enter the food product in the form of cut-off propagation thus causing the heating effect to be concentrated at the food product surface adjacent to the mode-filtering structure.
However, we have shown that use of a mode-filtering structure as disclosed by EP 382 399 is not sufficient to provide crispy coated food products when heated in a microwave. We have discovered that it is essential to provide a combination of necessary physical properties of the crumb and packaging requirements in order to obtain the desired crisp coated food products.
Accordingly the present invention relates to a microwaveable food product composite of a coated food product and a mode filtering structure characterised in that:
(a) the food product has a crumb coating having an average crumb size of greater than 1.5 mm;
(b) there is an air gap of from 1 to 6 mm between the food product and the mode filtering structure; and
(c) the electric field strength generated within the mode filtering structure when used in a commercially available microwave oven is greater than 20 kV/m but below the breakdown of voltage of air.
Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method of enhancing the heating of a surface crumb layer of a coated food product by microwave energy comprising:
(a) coating the food with a crumb coating having an average crumb size of greater than 1.5 mm;
(b) packaging the food product in packaging which includes a mode filtering structure wherein there is an air gap of from 1 to 6 mm between the food product and the mode filtering structure; and
(c) the electric field strength generated within the mode filtering structure in a commercially available microwave oven is greater than 20 kV/m but below the breakdown of voltage of air.
Crumb Properties
In order to obtain the required level of crispness, the crumb used to coat the food product must have an average particle size of greater than 1.5 mm and preferably an average particle size of equal to or greater than 2 mm.
Furthermore it has been observed that a crumb composition comprising electrolyte has advantageous crispness properties. It is therefore a preferred feature of the invention that the crumb composition includes electrolyte.
Suitable electrolytes include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, lactose and fructose. Preferably the electrolyte is potassium chloride.
Packaging Requirements
In order to obtain the required level of crispness it is essential that the packaging used includes a mode-filtering structure as disclosed in EP 382 399. Furthermore it is essential that the food product and mode-filtering structure are separated by an air gap of from 1 to 6 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 6 mm.
The term "mode-filtering" is employed to refer to accentuation of the transmission of higher order modes while reflecting fundamental modes.
The mode-filtering structure is described fully in EP 382 399. It consists of a sheet of microwave transparent material provided with substantially non-absorptive conductive material defining either an island-aperture array or an array of annuli defining apertures, the dimensions of the annuli or of the gaps between the islands and the apertures being such as to achieve the desired absorption profile.
The apertures will be of such dimensions that, at the frequency of the microwave energy and with the sheet located adjacent the surface layer of the article to be heated, the modes of energy that propagate through the apertures will be in cut-off in the surface layer.
Such modes may or may not be in cut-off in the main portion (bulk) of the article lying beneath the surface layer.
The mode-filtering structure can be located on a separate sheet of microwave-transparent material, or it can be embodied in a container for the article. In the latter case, small holes for venting steam and/or for draining liquids such as fat can be provided in the container structure.
The term "container" as used herein embraces all manner of elements or devices including flat sheets, laminar, pouches, pans, lidded containers, that at least partially enclose, contain, hold, support or are supported by, the foodstuff or other material during heating in a microwave oven.
The islands and apertures of the mode-filter may assume a number of geometries among which are the following:
(a) polygonal (including polygonal with rounded apices) eg triangular, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal.
(b) round or elliptical (including epitrochoidal, multifoil and similar variants).
(c) conformal (not necessarily definable in terms of simple geometric shapes) having a geometric resemblance to the shape of the food and/or container and being intended to promote the propagation of higher modes within the foods.
(d) non-conformal and/or non-uniform in gap width.
(e) with apertured islands.
To conform better with the shape of food articles, the overall shape of a mode-filter may be curved or corrugate, for example, rather than planar.
A plurality of mode-filters may be provided within the packaging to provide simultaneous treatment of multiple food surfaces, for example.
The islands of the mode-filter may be made of any suitable microwave energy conducting material or microwave energy conducting composite, for example metal, preferably aluminium.
The apertures of the mode-filter may be made of any suitable dielectric material, especially preferred is air.
The associated electric field strength (E) generated within the mode-filtering structure when used in a commercially available microwave oven must be greater than 20 kV/m but below the breakdown voltage of air. Preferably the electric field strength is from 20 to 30 kV/m, most preferably 30kV/m. The electric field strength may be altered by altering the arrangement of islands and apertures of the mode-filter. A preferred arrangement is shown in FIG. 2 wherein the islands are in a stepped arrangement.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a microwave heating container, for holding a body of foodstuff, incorporating an embodiment of the mode-filtering structure according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of an example of a mode-filtering structure having a preferred arrangement of islands and apertures.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the base of a microwave heating container as shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the microwave heating container for holding a body of foodstuff as shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragment of the sectional view shown in FIG. 4.
The embodiment of the invention as illustrated by the drawings is a combination of the physical properties of the foodstuff (6) and packaging requirements which incorporate a mode-filtering structure (1 and 8).
The mode-filtering structure (1 and 8) is formed with a plurality of apertures (5) spaced apart from each other and from the outer periphery by a plurality of electrically conductive islands (4) of interconnected perpendicular and parallel rectangular segments. This is clearly shown in FIG. 2.
The mode-filtering structure as shown in FIG. 2 is incorporated into the packaging for the foodstuff as illustrated by FIG. 1. Mode filtering structures are preferably located in the top and base of the packaging (1 and 8 respectively). FIG. 1 shows a microwave heating container having a generally rectangular upwardly opening tray (9) with a bottom (10) and side walls (2) for receiving and holding a body of foodstuff (6) to be heated. A moulded lid (3) transparent to microwave energy and having a downwardly extending portion (11) and a flat top or sheet portion (12) covers the upward opening of the tray, the downwardly extending portion seating on the tray rim. The foodstuff is spaced from both the lid and base of the packaging by supports (7). The mode-filters (1 and 8) are mounted on the flat surface of the lid top (12) and base on botton (10).
FIG. 3 shows the incorporation of the mode-filtering structure as shown in FIG. 2 into the base of the packaging for the foodstuff. This Figure clearly shows the supports (7) used to space the foodstuff from the lower mode-filtering structure (8) mounted on the flat surface of the base of the packaging.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show a sectional view of a microwave heating container for holding a body of foodstuff as shown in FIG. 1. The spacing of the foodstuff (6) from the upper (1) and lower (8) mode-filtering structure via supports (7) is clearly illustrated.
Comparative Examples A and B
For Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Example A, the commercially available product "Cod Steaks with Crisp Crumb" from Birds Eye Wall's (UK) were studied, having a crumb size of approx 2 mm or greater. In Comparative Example B a commercially available conventional fish finger was studied having a coating of approximately 0.5 mm crumb.
The coated fish portions were used to provide a 72�34 mm sample which was placed in a Gerling 3 kW 2450 MHz Waveguide System (WG 284) (Model GL 102 A with a GL 808-1 control). A Luxton electric field probe was used to measure the electric field adjacent to the fish portion. Each product was exposed to the electric field for a length of time equal to 60 kJ
where PF equal the Forward Power in Watts.
The crispness of the crumb was determined by a trained sensory panel. Results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1______________________________________ Electric Field Crumb SizeExample (kV/m) (mm) Crispness______________________________________1 20 2 dry, crisp crumb2 23 2 dry, crisp crumb3 27 2 dry, crisp crumb4 30 2 dry, crisp crumb5 33 2 dry, crisp crumbA 13 2 wet, moist crumbB 30 0.5 wet, moist crumb______________________________________
These results illustrate that in order to obtain a crisp crumb an electric field of greater than or equal to 20 kV/m is required and a crumb size of approximately 2 mm. Such an electric field requirement can be achieved in a conventional microwave oven by employment of a Mode Filter Structure as defined by the invention.
A commercially available fish portion having a 2 mm crumb coating was used as described for Example 1. This was placed in packaging comprising a mode filter structure as illustrated in FIG. 1. There was an air gap of 5 mm between the coated fish portion and the mode filter structure. The coating of the fish portion was dry and crisp after heating for 3 minutes in a Sairem laboratory oven set at 600 W. The electric field generated was 28 kV/m.

Oxford Restaurant Burns
Some people think of Oxford and immediately think of The Square, The Grove, and Ole Miss. For me, Oxford is a bastion of Mississippi culture and great Southern dining. So it disheartens me to report that Yocona River Inn, one of the community's culinary landmarks, was destroyed by fire on on Thursday, March 12.
Proprietor Paige Osborn, who lives next door to the restaurant, woke up around 1:30 a.m. when she heard her dog barking. "As soon as I opened the bedroom door, I saw a barrage of flashing colors through the window, and I knew something was wrong," she says.
The fire began on the enclosed back porch, which functioned as the restaurant's kitchen. "The back wall is completely gone. Some of the interior walls are gone. The rooms on the back side of the building are pretty well gutted. The floor's still there, and three outside walls are still standing," says Paige. It was first reported around 1 a.m. by a local community fire fighter who was returning from another call and noticed the building ablaze. The exact cause of the fire is undetermined.
Paige, a New Orleans native, moved to Oxford for grad school in Southern Studies in 1991. She fell so in love with the town, she chose to stick around and opened the Yocona River Inn in June 1995. "It's been my baby for over a decade–it's my life," says Osborn. "I'm definitely planning to rebuild."
Yocona is more than just another college town restaurant. Located out in the sticks (you better know where you're going if you hope to find it), it is a grass-roots BYOB eatery founded on community pride and great food. As John T. Edge, director of the Oxford-based Southern Foodways Alliance says, "Yocona is among our most community-focused restaurants. It matters to the people of Lafayette County, both as a place for peerless filet mignon and as place of neighborly congregation."
Updates on the restaurant can be found at www.yocona.com.
HOW TO HELP REBUILD: Yocona River Inn Patron Share Program
In the wake of the fire at Yocona River Inn, a cadre of loyal customers is raising funds to aid proprietor Paige Osborne as she works to reopen the restaurant.
Leading the charge are Randy Yates, proprietor of Ajax Diner, John Currence, proprietor of City Grocery, and John T. Edge, director of the Southern Foodways Alliance.
Dollars raised will serve as bridge funds for Osborne and her employees, offsetting some of the expenses incurred between the date of the fire and the date of the restaurant's reopening.
Here's how the "patron share" program works:
1) Write a check for $250, payable to Yocona River Inn, and mail it to Paige Osborne, Yocona River Inn, P.O. Box 2609, Oxford, MS 38655.
(Gifts in the name of friends and family are encouraged; so are multiple shares.)
2) Yocona River Inn will acknowledge your "patron share" with a letter and then open a house account for you.
3) Each time you dine at Yocona, one-half of your bill total will be paid from your house account balance, until that balance is retired.
4) In recognition of your purchase of a "patron share," Paige will install bricks, engraved with the names of supporting patrons, in a new courtyard that will front the building.
For questions on the logistics of this effort, email John T. Edge at email@example.com

Specific Dissipation Rate (Omega)
Hy every one...
I'm simulating the flow around a circular cylinder using FLUENT with the k-w standard and SST. Also I'm trying to export the Omega value through the UDF, but before to export I compared the value from C_O(c,t) with the value posted by the Display -> Turbulence -> Specific Dissipation Rate (Omega) and they are different near the wall. Does some one know how to get the right values in all the domain ??
Best Regards
Re: Specific Dissipation Rate (Omega)
OK I Just got the idea, if we use C_O(c,t) it is the dissipation rate on the flow but if we have wall bondary, for sure that we need to use some wall treatment so this Omega is different from the flow field and it is necessary to acount for it,
Omega_wall = F_STORAGE_R(face_cell, thread_cell, SV_O);
Best regards
Lourival Mendes
Hi Lourival,
I am currently facing the same problem with the C_O(c,t) macro, could you explain to me in a bit more detail how you managed to obtain the correct result at the wall?
Many Thanks

Normally when Clay Buchholz throws a gem like he did last night, we would start off with that. But as happy as we are about the outing from Buchholz and the fact that the Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 3-2, the news isn't all cute puppies and kittens.
It looks as though the Red Sox will go through the rest of the 2012 season without their third baseman Will Middlebrooks who was hit with 96 mph fastball in the wrist. The fastball from Esmil Rogers was not intentional at all but nonetheless it's a costly injury for the Red Sox.
The reports this morning are stating that WMB has a broken wrist and is likely lost for the season. It's also being reported that newly acquired Danny Valencia will be called up from the PawSox to replace Middlebrooks on the 25-man roster.
WMB came up when Kevin Youkilis went down earlier in the season and played his way, a season early, on to the Red Sox roster for years to come. He's had a heck of a rookie season as he was hitting .288 with 15 home runs, 54 RBIs and four stolen bases in 75 games before the injury.
Now I know that they acquired Valencia to provide depth in case of something like this but given how he hit with the Minnesota Twins, should they really call him up.
Bobby Valentine has been trying to find ways to get Pedro Ciriaco in the lineup. With David Ortiz being on the DL, he's been able to do that occasionally. So why can't they move Aviles over to third, a position he can play, and put Ciriaco in at shortstop. Just a wild thought here.
Whenever the Red Sox have needed a good positive start from a starter the one pitcher who seems to be answering the call is Buchholz. On a team where Jon Lester and Josh Beckett are supposed to be the aces of the team, it's been Buchholz who looks like the true ace of the 2012 Red Sox.
Yes he got off to a slow start at least ERA wise but once he got comfortable on the mound knowing that his back was healthy, he's been outstanding.
Because of poor starts lately, the bullpen has been overused again like it was earlier in the season. So the fact that Clay was able to throw a complete game last night and do it with an efficient 104 pitches will help the bullpen out for the next two games. Now with the off day on Monday, Valentine can use his bullpen as he sees fit over these next few days.
Buchholz did give up a home run in the 1st inning to Asdrubal Cabrera but then set down the next eight batters he faced until Cabrera doubled off of him to lead off the 4th. From there though, he allowed just one batter to reach base and that was Jason Donald who reached on errors by Dustin Pedroia and Aviles.
Going forward, they'll need Buchholz to continue this run along with the others stepping up their games. It's the others that worry me as I have the utmost confidence in Buchholz when he steps out on the mound.
We'll be back later with today's lineups, batter/pitcher matchups and links from the day. So for now, let's take a look at the overnight links from the media.

Product Description:
Who hasn't dreamed at least once of running off to a foreign country and starting a new life' That's exactly what Frances (Diane Lane) does in UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN, directed by Audrey Wells (GUINEVERE). Traveling in Tuscany after a heart-wrenching divorce, Frances surprises herself by making an offer on a rundown villa--the biggest impulse purchase of her life. With the help of a warmhearted, smitten real estate agent and a local contractor with a team of Polish workers, her 300-year-old house is slowly transformed into a home. Along the way, she encounters a larger-than-life British ex-patriot, kind and generous neighbors, and a charming Italian man or two. Essentially, the film is an affirmation that good things can happen if one lets them--and that sometimes what seems like a terrible mistake or a crazy idea is a really a blessing. Lane is completely engaging as Frances, second-guessing her speedy purchase, looking for love, and rediscovering herself. Based on the book by Frances Mayes, the film was shot on location in Rome, Florence, Positano, and Cortona in Italy. The breathtaking scenery is sure to have viewers saving their pennies for next year's vacation--or their Tuscan dream house.

Supermarkets and pubs could face restrictions on the sale of cheap alcohol after ministers claimed that Britain has 8.2million problem drinkers.
This figure would mean that one in every six adults is either dependent on alcohol or rated a "hazardous or harmful" drinker.
To qualify as a problem drinker, a man must consume eight glasses of alcohol in a single night each week, and a woman six.
Anybody who has been told by a relative, friend or health worker that they are concerned about the amount they drink during the last year also falls into the category.
Ministers will now consider making alcohol too expensive for "problem drinkers" to afford. Targets include children and middle-aged people who consume large amounts of wine and beer at home.
But the proposals, which follow Labour's last attempt at tackling Britain's binge-drinking culture in 2004, were under fire from all sides last night.
Doctors, who have warned of a "health timebomb" caused by alcohol abuse, said they did not go far enough, while Opposition MPs attacked the hypocrisy of a Government which unleashed 24-hour drinking lecturing the public.
And pubs and retailers said the only group to suffer would be the law-abiding majority.
The Home Office and Department of Health, who are jointly in charge of the £10million alcohol strategy, insisted, however, that doing nothing was not an option.
According to DoH figures, there are 1.1million "dependent drinkers" who cost the health economy £403million a year.
A further 7.1million "hazardous and harmful drinkers" cost the health service £1.3billion a year.
Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker said: "It's almost regarded as acceptable to drink to get drunk and we want to change that attitude.
"It is unacceptable for people to use alcohol and urinate in the street, vomit and carry on.
"I think attitudes have dramatically changed in relation to drinkdriving and smoking - we need to have that same sort of discussion and debate around binge-drinking as well."
Caroline Flint, the Public Health Minister, denied Labour was targeting "middle-aged, middle-class drinkers".
But she added: "There are people, adults, who on a very regular basis are probably drinking twice the amount that is recommended."
Ministers said a new independent review will look at how the price of alcohol affects the amount people consume, particularly problem drinkers.
The cost of alcohol could be increased, with minimum prices set by law, while supermarkets will be placed under pressure to stop selling heavily discounted products.
The Government wants to end "loss leader" promotions enticing customers into a store by selling drink, such as wine or continental lager at heavily reduced prices.
If they fail to act, ministers are prepared to legislate to force them to sell alcohol more responsibly, though Mr Coaker held back from advocating an outright ban on sales tactics such as happy hours.
Mark Hastings, of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: "Not only do high prices penalise the majority of sensible people, they are totally ineffective at tackling those intent on misusing alcohol.
"This will only drive the problem groups out of the formal market and underground. They will buy alcohol illicitly, or even brew it themselves."
Liver expert Professor Roger Williams, who treated the late footballing legend George Best, said more needed to be done about problem drinking, including increasing the legal age for buying alcohol from 18 to 21.
Doctors also want compulsory labelling warning of the dangers of drinking.
"The problems are getting worse - increased death rates from liver disease, young people drinking, alcohol consumption going up," said Professor Williams, of University College Hospital, London.
Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said: "We will look at these proposals in detail but it is important they do not become yet another stealth mechanism for the Government to ditch their responsibility to tackle serious crime.
"People should remember that half of all violent crime is fuelled by alcohol."
More than 8 million Britons are 'problem drinkers', according to shocking new figures released today.
New analysis from the Department of Health said the cost to the health economy was £1.3 billion.
The figures, which have not been published before, also said there were 1.1m "dependent drinkers" who cost the health economy £403 million.
In a bid to tackle the growing problem of binge-drinking and under-age drinkers, the Home Office is introducing a raft of measures including given drunken yobs information about how to cut their boozing.
Ministers revealed that alcohol referral schemes will be introduced to drunks in the same way that drug addicts are currently sent for compulsory counselling after being arrested.
The Home Office and Department of Health have held back from banning certain drinks promotions such as happy hours or "buy one get one free".
Instead, an independent national review will examine the relationship between alcohol promotions and the harm caused by drink.
Its findings will then be put up for discussion to see whether the public would support moves such as a ban on cut-price drink, the updated version of the Government's alcohol strategy said.
The strategy paper said: "Points of intervention will be introduced following arrest, through conditional caution and through disposal.
"Offenders will be given the facts about unsafe drinking and its link to criminal behaviour."
The report contained the startling figure that there are more than seven million problem drinkers in the country.
A new analysis from the Department of Health said there were an estimated 7.1 million "hazardous and harmful drinkers" and the cost to the health economy was £1.3 billion.
It added that investing £28.3 million on identifying the problems and giving advice would save an estimated £46.7 million.
The figures, which have not been published before, also said there were 1.1m "dependent drinkers" who cost the health economy £403 million.
Drunks will be offered advice and treatment and ministers will look at ways to make them pay for such measures, it added.
There will also be a new generation of publicity campaigns which ministers said would mark a major turning point in the bid to educate the public about the effects of booze.
It may use more methods than the current TV, radio and print campaigns, for example using the internet more widely.
Home Office minister Vernon Coaker said: "It is unacceptable for people to use alcohol and urinate in the street, vomit and carry on.
"I think attitudes have dramatically changed in relation to drink-driving and smoking - we need to have that same sort of discussion and debate around binge-drinking as well."
On the review of alcohol pricing and promotions, which will be published by next April, Mr Coaker said: "We want to look at the whole issue of price and promotions.
"We have got a voluntary code over things like happy hours. The review will then look at all of that and go out to consultation to see what people regard as acceptable or not.
"What we are trying to do is get responsible promotions."
Home Office minister Baroness Scotland insisted that introducing conditional cautions where punishments are imposed without going to court were not a soft option.
"It's not a slap on the wrist, it is having a menu of measures that we can turn to in order to respond appropriately and appropriately toughly to the situation which we are facing," she said.
"It's not a one-size-fits-all situation. For some people we will have to be much more rigorous because their behaviour demands it."
The strategy will also kick off a root-and-branch stock-take of NHS spending on alcohol-related illness.
Health minister Caroline Flint said it would help the service prioritise spending and become more efficient in tackling the problem. Mr Coaker said: "It's almost regarded as acceptable to drink to get drunk and we want to change that attitude."
Ms Flint added: "This isn't a crackdown on middle-class wine drinkers per se. It's about saying if you are drinking over the limit on a daily basis, you could be storing up problems for yourself down the road."
Liver expert Professor Roger Williams, who treated the late footballing legend George Best, said more needed to be done, including compulsory labelling of drinks with how many units they contain and increasing the age at which young people can buy alcohol from 18 to 21.
"Everything being said today is laudable, but it's taken so long to get to this stage," said Prof Williams, professor of liver disease (hepatology) at University College Hospital, London.
"We've been pressing for measures for some years - will there really be effective action on any of these issues?
"The problems are getting worse - increased death rates from liver disease, young people drinking, alcohol consumption going up.
"Measures that are needed are an increase in the price of alcohol, access to it to be limited, young people in supermarkets shouldn't be able to buy it without showing identity cards, and the age at which youngsters can buy should be 21, as it is in America.
"The evidence from studies carried out around the world is that if you make alcohol more accessible, or lower its price, then alcohol consumption goes up.
"If alcohol consumption goes up, you get more diseases and more deaths."

Chapter III: Darkness into Light [13]Mature
As he tried to remember, his legs were carrying him down the hallway, and his hands were reaching out to the doors, but none of them would open. His shoulder began to itch – and distantly he remembered there was a reason why – but he shook the feeling away and continued walking until he reached the end of the corridor. There, on a table below a portrait of a woman with curling blonde hair was an asphodel blooming before his eyes, its white petals quivering to life.
Another voice: "This is all for your benefit." It belonged to a man, but it was unfamiliar, and lined with an arrogance that made Will shiver. He reached out for the flower and felt its satin petals on the edge of his fingers. Then, he saw something bright in his peripheral. The corridor extended to the side, where there was a single white door, and before he could consider otherwise, he was approaching it. The door handle was ice cold, but it twisted open. Blinding light streamed across him as he stepped through, and as he saw between dazed stars, there was somebody running towards him. By the time he realised it was a girl, she had grabbed hold of him. Her eyes were red and streaming with tears, her dark hair was curling wildly around her young, pale face, and her nails were cutting into his skin as she fisted his shirt in her hands.
"Willow! Willow, please!" she screamed, just as somebody wrapped his arm around her waist and tried to rip her away. Will looked at the man appearing from nowhere, but his face was a smooth surface of flesh, without features or identity, but somehow he was looking at him. From wisps of air, others just like him appeared, circled around them, still and dressed all in black robes.
"Willow! Willow! Help me!" the girl screamed, his name a desperate litany. She refused to let him go, and whilst he resisted, her strength and that of her apprehender was pulling him forward. Suddenly, there was a hand on his collar pulling him back. He turned around and saw that there was no longer a door or a corridor behind him. It was the open door of a carriage, and leaning out from it was Wilmina, a scarf tightened around her head to hide her features, her thin teeth bared angrily, not at him, but the girl.

Louth class
in Olympics
the County Museum Dundalk has discovered that Louth has a remarkable record in the Olympic Games.
The museum is preparing an exhibition to run with the London games this summer.
The exhibition will feature many Louth athletes including three medal winners from the London Olympics of 1908.
In that year, Henry Joseph Brown from Dundalk won silver at hockey. Ardee's Beatrice Hill Lowe was Ireland's first woman to win a medal when she took bronze in archery and John McCann won silver for polo.
"Apparently Hitler wanted to know why the Irish were so good and had them filmed so their technique could be analysed," said museum curator Brian Walsh.
"We are trying to locate that footage. It would be fantastic to include in the exhibition."
In the 1948 games were also in London and this time Dan Coyle from Dundalk represented Ireland in the hammer throw.
In 1956 Tony `Socks' Byrne from Drogheda won a bronze at Melbourne. In 1968 Peter McArdle from Blackrock ran in the marathon and Noel Carroll from Annagassan in the 800m. While in 1976 Colin Lowth from Drogheda competed in the swimming events.
In 1984, Conor McCullagh competed in the hammer throw. In fact, history could repeat itself if Conor's son, also Conor, represents the United States this year.
"We are hoping to contact these family about Louth's proud history in the Olympics for the exhibition," Brian Walsh said.

Is it time for massive IT services consolidation as falling sales puts industry on its knees?
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water Ovum drops a bombshell.
I was getting more positive vibes about IT services spending, which was great news after the collapse of recent years.
The Indian outsourcing bellwethers have all been posting big increases in revenues and profits and there have been some significant investments made in new technologies including cloud computing capabilities.

But Ovum says the combination of the death of the mega deal in the private sector and a drying up of spending in the public sector has meant that global IT services sales in the second quarter of this year were 40% lower than the same period last year. That sort of figures would put any industry on its knees.
Sales were pretty low last year but I would have expected sales to increase. Perhaps there will be a huge rebound when governments start outsourcing IT to cut costs en masse. But we all know that government are trying to avoid this for as long as possible to avoid public opinion backlashes.
But the figures cry out for consolidation. Could we be on the verge of a massive round of mergers and acquisitions in the IT services sector?
This could be the perfect storm for the BPO and ITO industries to become fully integrated.
I was talking to Genpact Asia CEO Charles Hunting last week. We discussed the BPO giant's acquisition of IT services firm Headstrong. Genpact was an internal shared services operation at General Electric (GE) before it was spun off in 1997. Genpact is traditionally very strong in the financial services with HR and finance and accounting BPO. In fact it is one of the world's biggest.
He believes it is a certainty that BPO and IT suppliers will consolidate and he expects acquisition activity.

I have actually managed to write another chapter in this story... It has really taken a long time to write, and I'm so sorry. But today I have written more, so I thought I'd post this and let you know that there's still hope for this story. I do plan on finishing it, I just don't know when it'll be yet. This part is un betaed, so all mistakes are mine. Thank you to those of you who are still with me and this story, I hope you'll be better than me and maybe leave a review to let me know what you think.
Chapter Eleven
During the night Veronica and Sara had moved to the living room and were now lying on two very comfortable couches. Except for the couple of hours of sleep Veronica had had, they had talked through the night, about old memories and had also touched the subject of the new ones. Sara had respected it when Foxy had changed the subject when they had talked shortly about Dunne, because she knew that her friend always had to work things out alone before talking. For the last hour or so they had sat in silence both lost in thought.
Sara was, of course, thinking about Catherine. She wanted to save the relationship, but wasn't sure how to. She felt how her body relaxed and soon she was in a state of being not quite asleep but not fully awake either. She rarely found herself in this state and was only there now because Veronica made her feel safe enough to be that vulnerable. Pretty soon all that existed were the sound of her heartbeat and thoughts of Catherine. Small images played in her mind. Catherine in the morgue wearing her blue lab coat smiling at her. Catherine at the lab with Lindsey, an arm around the girl's shoulder, smiling down at her. Catherine hunched over the microscope absentmindedly brushing a strand of stray hair behind her ear. Catherine in the break room enjoying a cup of coffee. Catherine in her office wearing those glasses. Catherine naked in bed looking at her with love. Catherine…
"Sometimes I wonder if it's really worth it." She thought out loud.
"If what is worth it?" Veronica said with a yawn interrupted in her thoughts. "Making up with Catherine?" She sat up a little straighter.
"Yeah," Sara nodded absentmindedly.
"But you love her." Veronica sounded concerned. "And love makes it all worth it. You deserve to be happy, Sass."
"I'm… I'm not thinking about me." The brunette finally looked over at the other woman. "Is it really worth it for Catherine? I mean, I hurt her over and over again and we've only been dating for a very short time." She sighed rubbing her eyes. "She has Lindsey to think about too and I'm just… I'm not really enough for them – at least not when I have all this unsolved business in my past."
"Maybe you're right." Veronica nodded. "But maybe Catherine should be the one to decide whether or not it's worth it."
"Maybe she can't see things clearly." Sara countered.
"And maybe that's because you are keeping her in the dark about it." Veronica shot back. "Don't get me wrong here, I know how your childhood affected you. I know how much it hurts you to even consider talking about it. But I also know how strong you are and I know how much you're in love with Catherine. And to me that is what makes it worth it. To me that is all that matters – the fact that you have finally met a person who can make you happy. You've finally met someone who won't take any crap from you – someone who is in love with you."
"One," Sara held up a finger. "I'm not so sure that she is in love with me. Two," she held up another finger. "You just described yourself and I've known you for years, what makes it so different with Catherine?"
"One," Veronica held up her middle finger with a smile. "If she wasn't in love with you, you wouldn't still be with her. She would have given up a long time ago – even if the sex is fantastic. Not that I would know with all the details you're not giving me." She smiled. "And two, no I didn't. I was never in love with you. I mean I love you, I love you with all my heart, but I was never in love with you – like you were never in love with me, right?" She paused and waited for Sara's confirming nod. "And you told me about your childhood, so don't you think that maybe Catherine, who you are in love with, deserves to know as well?"
"Yeah," Sara leaned back in the couch. "Maybe you're right."
"I always am." Veronica said with an ironic smile.
"Right," Sara answered with a small laugh.
Silence fell over them again. She still wasn't sure that being with Catherine was what was best for the blonde, not matter what Veronica had said. She loved Cath and she wanted to be with her. She just wasn't sure that she could be better, that she could be the kind of person that the blonde deserved to be with. She was going to tell her about her childhood and the biggest part of her was sure that the blonde would understand and still want to be with her. But maybe she should deal with her past before she could be with the blonde. Maybe she ought to confront her demons before she could be who Catherine deserved.
"You know, jewellery is nice too." Veronica said with a smile, interrupting her musings.
"Jewellery?" Sara squeaked sitting up on the couch. "We've been dating for a couple of months!"
"Oh right." Veronica looked over at her. "I was just trying to get your attention." She giggled. "But I do love jewellery." She said with a dreamy look on her face.
"I'll be sure to tell Kim that." Sara mumbled.
"Oh, she knows, hon." Veronica smirked. "Haven't I shown you my bling yet?"
"Your bling?" Sara laughed and let her self fall back in the couch again.
"Well, my jewellery then. There are some pretty nice things in my safety box." Veronica sat up.
"I'm sure there is." Sara nodded. "I mean, just look at this place." She looked around the living room.
"Yeah, it's not bad." Veronica looked around as well.
"Not bad? This is what people dream about, Foxy." Sara looked over at her. "It definitely pays better to be a doctor than it does being a CSI."
"It's ok." Veronica smiled at her. "Plus having a huge trust fund from your grandparents that your father can't touch doesn't hurt either."
"Ah." Sara nodded, that explained the big house. "What time is it?" She asked.
"It's…" Veronica was interrupted by Kimberly walking in the door. "Hey hon." She reached a hand out for her.
"Hi." Kimberly walked over to her and kissed her. "Hi Sara."
"Wanna sit?" The redhead patted on the couch between her legs as Sara nodded her hello.
"Yeah." The detective sighed sitting down leaning against the smaller body behind her.
"Rough shift?" Veronica asked.
"Mmmm," came the noncommittal reply.
"Did you see Catherine today?" Sara asked.
"Yeah, shortly at the lab," Kimberly nodded. "I think she had a murder with Brass or something."
"Ok." Sara nodded. "Uhm, Foxy, can I pick some flowers in your garden?" She got up from the couch.
"Sure." Veronica nodded. "Nice touch, Sass. More personal that way." She smiled.
"You in the doghouse with Catherine?" Kim asked.
"Something like that." Sara nodded.
"Jewellery will work wonders." She offered as Sara went outside to pick flowers.
Sara knocked on Catherine's front door nervously. She wasn't really sure that she could do this. It had been years since she'd last told someone about her childhood. But she had to do it if she was going to have a chance with Catherine, she knew that, but it didn't make it any easier to actually do it.
"Hi." She looked up at a tired looking Catherine when she opened the door. "These are for you." She held out the flowers.
"Thanks." Catherine smiled slightly. "Come on in." She opened the door wider and Sara stepped inside.
"So…" Sara shoved her hands in her pockets looking at the blonde.
"The flowers are very nice, Sara." Catherine moved closer and gave her a peck on the lips. "Coffee?"
"Yes please." Sara followed her to the kitchen. "Where do you want to do this? Do you need to sleep first? I can come back later." She knew that she was rambling, but she couldn't seem to get her nerves under control.
"Living room. No, I'm good for now, so you don't have to." Catherine leaned against the counter while waiting for the coffee to brew.
"Ok." Sara nodded. She paused for a while just looking at the vision in front of her. "Look, I need to do this now or I'm not sure how… if…" She stopped again and took a deep breath. "I have a brother. He's older than me and I haven't seen him in about 20 years or so."
"Oh." Catherine moved to walk over to her, but stopped when Sara held up her hand. "I didn't know that."
"He moved out of the house as soon as he was old enough, he really couldn't get away fast enough. He left me behind though." Sara continued as she watched Catherine fill two mugs with coffee. "I don't really blame him, he'd already suffered a lot trying to protect my mother and me. I think he joined the army or marines or something."
"What's his name?" Catherine asked handing her one of the mugs before leading her into the living room to sit on the couch.
"John." Sara sat down next to the blonde. "His name is John." She took a sip of her coffee. "My dad started beating me when I was six. He'd been beating John and mom for years before that, but I got my first real beating when I was six." She didn't look at Catherine while talking, but stared into space as if she was watching a scene others couldn't see. "I mean he'd slapped me before that, but the first real beating was when I was six. It hurt like hell, so I couldn't stop crying. That really just made him angrier, but I couldn't stop. Mom went between us so he wouldn't kill me, but that just meant that she walked around with bruises for weeks as well. I guess over the years I just learned not to cry when he was beating me. I learned to not cry at all, because crying equalled a beating."
"And that's why you're uncomfortable crying in front of me?" Catherine had put down her coffee.
"Yes." Sara nodded slowly. "I don't cry in front of anyone, not even Veronica. I think you're the first person who has seen me cry since… since I can't remember."
"I'm sorry." Catherine rearranged herself so she was sitting with her back against the armrest on the couch. "Wanna make this more comfortable?" She asked patting the spot between her legs.
Sara finally looked over at her, pushing the scenes in her head to the back of her mind for a short while.
"I'm not sure." She said looking down at the spot Catherine was patting.
"I won't hurt you, Sara." Catherine scooted closer placing a hand on Sara's back.
"I know, but…"
"You need to be able to run." Catherine stated with a small sigh.
"I don't want to run, but…" Sara made a helpless gesture with her hand.
"It's ok." Catherine scooted back to her previous position. "Tell me the rest of your story… And the offer still stands if you change your mind."
"I think Johnny thinks that I blame him for leaving me. That might be why I haven't seen or heard from him in all these years, but I really don't. There was nothing he could have done if he had stayed. He was just as scared of dad as mom and I were."
"Were?" Catherine asked.
"Yeah." Sara nodded. "He kept beating us for years. I used to think that it was normal – that that was how a family worked. I'd never really known anything else, so I never talked about it with anyone. It was just normal behaviour to me."
"I'm sorry." Catherine repeated.
"He kept beating us over the years. We tried to figure out his mood swings, but there were just no pattern in them. We never seemed to do anything right, so I guess we just gave up after a while. The only thing I had to hide in was my school work. I loved going to school. But he turned that against me as well, I never got praise for getting a good grade – I just got a beating. And if the grade wasn't good enough I got a beating for that as well." Sara shifted a little closer to the blonde placing a hand on her leg.
Catherine placed her hand lightly on Sara's in support. She didn't speak but listened intently to what the brunette was telling her. It was hard to listen to and her heart was breaking for the child that had had to go through it all. She wanted to take Sara into her arms and never let go, but she felt that Sara needed the more distanced comfort of her hand covering hers at the moment instead.
"When I was twelve I was home alone with my father for the first time in forever and he was as always in a very bad mood. When I didn't fix him what he wanted to eat properly he started beating me. I had just gotten a good grade in a math test, but he didn't like it. In his world women stayed at home pleasing their husband and he started showing me just what that meant…" Sara stopped and felt Catherine tighten her grip on her hand. She looked over at the blonde. "He would have raped me right there in the kitchen if my mother hadn't come home in time. He had already ripped my shirt off and was working on my pants when she stepped into the kitchen. She screamed for him to stop, but he just backhanded her making her fall back and hit her head on the kitchen counter…"
"He killed her?" Catherine asked with a voice thick with emotions.
"No." Sara shook her head. "She got up, the blood was flowing from a cut on her head. I don't remember what happened. But I do remember the smell of blood in the air, the spatter on the walls, the feeling of blood in my hair, on my face, on my clothes. Suddenly the room was filled with people – there were police officers and paramedics everywhere it seemed. And then a woman with the kindest smile and nice blue eyes took my hand and led me out of the house. For a long time I didn't know or remember her name, but I clung to her hand and wouldn't let go for the longest time. The neighbours and a lot of other people were standing outside, some pointing at me, some whispering something and that's when I became…" She looked down at their joined hands and tried to pull her hand away, but Catherine didn't let go.
"Became what, sweetie?" Catherine asked gently.
"The girl whose mother killed her father." Sara looked away from the blonde afraid what she would see in the other woman's face.
"Oh honey." Catherine moved closer to her and embraced her. "I'm so sorry."
Sara stayed in the embrace for a minute before pulling away.
"I'll understand if you don't…"
"Don't finish that sentence, Sara." Catherine caressed her cheek. "I… I want to be with you. I'll be patient with you when you need it, but I'm still me – I'll push at times as well."
"You want to be with me? Even after…?"
"Yes." Catherine nodded. "You're not your parents, Sara. You're an incredibly strong person who has been through too much and has come out strong on the other side… I'm still gonna push you though." She added with a small smile.
"I know. Always so bossy." Sara smiled as well.
"Veronica knows all this?" Catherine asked.
"Yes." Sara confirmed.
"And that's why she's so protective of you?"
"I think so." Sara nodded. "She's the best friend I've ever had."
"I like her more and more." Catherine said with a smile.
"You should." Sara smiled bigger. "You're really a lot alike when she's not just been kidnapped and almost killed."
"Well, that'll get anyone down for a while." Catherine smiled. It wasn't really that funny, but somehow it eased the tension a little.
"I guess you have a lot of questions." Sara got back to her story.
"I do." Catherine nodded. "But I think we've both had enough for right now."
"I'll answer whatever question you have." Sara wanted her to know everything she wanted. The sooner she could get it over with, the sooner Catherine could leave her if she found out that it would all be too much and the less attached she would be to the Willows family.
"I'm not going to leave you because of this Sara." Catherine tried to ease her fears. "We all have a past, some worse than others, but it is in the end what have made us who we are today." She stood up and reached out a hand to Sara. "Let's get some sleep before I have to pick up Lindsey?"
"Are you sure?" The brunette looked up at her.
"Absolutely." Catherine nodded seriously and Sara took her hand and followed her to the bedroom.

(Received 2 October 2000 / Accepted 26 October 2000)
The ESA X-ray Multi Mirror mission, XMM-Newton, carries two identical Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RGS) behind two of its three nested sets of Wolter I type mirrors. The instrument allows high-resolution ( to 500) measurements in the soft X-ray range (6 to 38 Åor 2.1 to 0.3 keV) with a maximum effective area of about 140 cm2 at 15 Å. Its design is optimized for the detection of the K-shell transitions of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, magnesium, and silicon, as well as the L shell transitions of iron. The present paper gives a full description of the design of the RGS and its operational modes. We also review details of the calibrations and in-orbit performance including the line spread function, the wavelength calibration, the effective area, and the instrumental background.
Key words: space vehicles: instruments, reflection gratings, XMM-Newton

Chapter 1: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust : Part 16Mature
"Yes, you did. You also did the funky chicken."
"Not for us it wasn't."
"I don't doubt that. How long was I out for?"
"Well they left for the tents just after you went down, so you've been out for just about three hours."
"It feels like longer somehow." Suddenly his eyes widened.
"What?" Mathew asked, noticing his sudden agitation.
"If I inhaled the nerve agent I had my mask off, how long was it off?"
"Don't worry, it was a fraction of a second. If the pellet hadn't exploded on you, you wouldn't have even gotten any nerve agent under your mask. It's only because it was concentrated near you that you inhaled some of it. Probably when you hit the ground after it struck you."
"I don't remember any of that."
"You were hit pretty hard, I doubt you would remember any of it."
"I like what you did with the place." Mackenzie said, laughing a bit.
"Yeah, I'm surprised I did it this fast."
"I want to stand." Mackenzie said, planting his arm to support himself and attempting fruitlessly to raise himself off the ground.
"I want a salami sandwich, but I ain't getting one, and you're not standing."
"You suck."
Mathew sat beside Mackenzie, resting against the earth wall. "I hope they get back soon."
Just as Mathew finished his sentence a series of gunshots were heard nearbye.
"What the fuck?" Mathew exclaimed. "Are you good here?" He said to Mackenzie, getting up briskly and taking hold of his shotgun.
"Yeah I'll be good, just hand me my M14."
Mathew picked the rifle from off the ground and handed it to him before he made his way to the end of the leanto. "I'll be back." He said as more shots rang out.
Mathew disappeared around the leanto.
Mackenzie could hear more gunshot going off in the distance as he scrambled and dragged himself to the entrance of the leanto so that he could see if someone or something was coming down the ravine.

|Celebrating the odd; a selection of 'rhomboid' cars, with wheels in perpendicular axes, was a highlight of the 2016 Rétromobile show. The 'Automodule' of 1968...
|An Indian Powerplus graced my favorite poster stand, with an original 1890s Art Nouveau 'Motocycles Comiot' poster featuring a lady rider. I wrote about this one several years ago...
|A replica of the Target Design MV Agusta prototype, which inspired Suzuki to hire the firm. The result was the Katana, a revolutionary styling exercise, and surprisingly, an improvement over this prototype. I've read a series of 5 replicas will be built, using Albert Bold MV motors...
Of course, there's the rest of Paris to explore, and I caught the epic Anselm Kiefer retrospective at the Centre Pompidou, as well as the Bonhams auction preview at the Grand Palais. That's an unbeatable venue, the grandest Art Nouveau interior space on the planet, and even the grandest cars are dwarfed within in that hallowed glass-and-iron greenhouse. Most intriguing to see were a pair of rotten Brough Superiors from the Frank Vague collection, stood on display at the center of the motorcycle lineup for the auction, for all to examine. And all did!
|The MX100 Brough Superior at the Bonhams preview, which turned over and had a free clutch! Remarkable...
|...but the hunger of rust will not be denied, it eats what is not protected. Not chromium though...
|The technical expertise of the Berneron brothers was insufficient to attract an $80k euro bid for their hotrod Honda, but it might have been a publicity exercise?
|Original paint Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster...love that dull sheen
|An open cockpit gives me goosebumps. This 1932 Aston Martin 1.5L Le Mans was left in its original appearance where possible, but the mechanicals were completely renovated, as were the seats. Vive le Oily Rag!
|A shaft-driven DOHC Ballot motor sat beside the car it powered, a fantastic engine from the 1920s.
|Ballot built motorcycles too; here's their in-bloc 175cc two-stroke
|No gearhead visit to Paris is complete without a visit to the Arts et Metiers museum, housed in a former church. It was forcibly de-consecrated by the Jacobins during the Revolution, and converted to a Church of Technology in 1794, which it remains today. This Blériot biplane faces off with Foucault's Pendulum in the apse of the Gothic church.
|No worries about Zika virus with this mosquito nose! A big blower Bentley...
|A faux garage inside the hall...and pretty much my ideal of a motorcar. But then I'm a Velocette guy - into eccentric/brilliant engineering.
|Yes, motorcycles at Rétro; this stand was 100% Harley-Davidson, with some interesting machines, like the aborted VR1000 road racer
|Big n little toys.
|Art is where you find it. This F1 Ferrari has an amazing exhaust system...I well recall it from my youth, being a Matchbox model...
|A phalanx of competition Ferraris at one display, next to a whole bunch more beside, and then the others...you'd think they were rare! But they aren't rare inside these halls.
|The monstrous 'Beast of Turin' Fiat LSR 300hp car from 1911
|A hot Matchless G50 at the Coy's auction stand
|Lovely original paint H-D with all ancillaries intact
|A pair of kiddie-ride JLO bikes, among many such vehicles for sale
|Let's not forget Lady Liberty was a gift from the French people - the original model lives in the Arts et Metiers museum
|This book looks familiar...
|Lovely postwar Velocette Mk8 KTT
|I'm fascinated by early machinery like this 1905 Darracq V-8 racer - the very essence of motoring, and the point of connection between cars and motorcycles.
|More rhomboidal cars...this one a cracked egg.
|The 8' long ship model I mentioned for sale, with its purpose-built case. Where else does one find such a thing?
|Original paint 1955 Porsche Speedster 1500S from Washington state.
|The Target MV and a Magni version, amongst a sea of Porsches
|Motorcycles tend to be tucked into corners of auto displays, in this case a '56 Triumph T110 keeping an Aston Martin DB2 company...
|The automobilia on offer is everything you might not be looking for...
|The 1892 Millet at the Arts et Metiers museum, the first motorized vehicle to use pneumatic tires, with its fantastic rotary/radial air-cooled engine.
|A c.1920 Leyat Hélica at the Arts et Metiers...one of my favorite vehicles of any era. Utterly impractical and totally dangerous, yet to this day road legal in France! (Except Paris, which is about to enact a ban on pre-2000 motorcycles and cars...)

Calm Pain
She wears a mask of happiness for she knows not of true joy
Her mask drips of blood as her inner soul claws it's way out
She knows not what is happening
All she feels is pain
She is not sad
She is not angry
She is calmly in pain
She wants to cry but cannot
Her inner soul tears her apart
The eyes of hate shine through
Eyes the color of cold ice
They pierce the soul of others
She is not angry nor is she sad
She is calmly in pain
Blood trickles down her cheeks
Her once pale skin now stained in red
Will she know true happiness one day?
No she will not
Will she break free of her dark soul?
She will become consumed by the dark of night
She will know only pain
I want to be free...
Her cries will be heard no more
Please help me...
She shall become an instrument to the god of death
Take off this mask
See the real me
Drive a knife into my face here over her heart
End me, save her
She knows not of joy
She knows not a sadness
She is not angry
She only suffers in calm pain.
