Jewish Baby Rituals, Revisited
When my uncle died at 60 from a stroke last year, my aunt, who is not particularly religious, threw herself into reading about the Jewish rituals around death. Among the many edicts were instructions not to go to movies or parties, during the 30 days after a loved one's death. And my aunt quickly found out why. When she tried to go to a large fundraiser at a fancy hotel, she got as far as the door — just the sound of glasses clinking and muffled laughter was enough to send her running; it's depressing to be around joyous, drunk people when your own world has just collapsed.
I thought about this as I read Debra Nussbaum Cohen's Sisterhood blog post about the superstitions around childbirth.
Jews traditionally do not acquire anything for the baby until it is actually born. Bassinets, onesies and wipies are all supposed to be delivered after the birth. And this is understandable, for all of the reasons that Debra so eloquently points out. Whatever you think about the Evil Eye, how depressing to come home to a nursery with baby socks and an empty cradle if, God forbid, something happened to the baby.
But in this case, if something does happen, having a cradle to dismantle is the least of your problems. My own baby is due next month and thanks to modern technology, I've seen her on an ultrasound monitor no less than a dozen times. I've seen her squirm and wiggle; I've seen the shape of her nose and lips. And regardless of whether I have a nursery, it would be devastating to lose her.
On a financial note, having a baby is pricey. To follow the Jewish traditions would mean ordering everything I need for the baby and then having it delivered after she is born. But instead of buying things, I'm cobbling together as many hand-me-downs as I can from friends and neighbors.
While I do agree that we have these guideposts — call them what you want, "superstitions" or "rituals" — for a reason, sometimes we must also adapt these traditions to the realities of our modern lives.

Coming Clean
My brain had run away from me again, going ten thousand light years a minute, it had made words come out of my mouth before I could think of the consequences.
"Of course not, dont be silly." I said, laughing a little to try and lighten the mood. "You are too important in the grand scheme of things for me to let you get killed. You aren't just a slave, Kayla, no matter what Salina might think."
"But I thought..." Kayla began, but trailed off, looking worried.
I nodded seriously, guessing what she was thinking. "I've been selfish," I began.
"You think?" Kayla mumbled hotly.
"I've been selfish." I repeated, "for making you take the fall for me with Salina. I've been trying to go behind everyone's backs, trying to put the pieces together on my own. I thought it would be best if you didnt know the whole story, but--" I stopped, I wasnt making any sense. "The lessons are-- Would you like to be a princess?"
"But I'm not a princess." Kayla said simply, giving me a look.
"But what if you were?"
"But I'm not!"
"But you could be!" I'd shouted that last part. I felt physically deflated. "The lessons arent really going to be for culture." I explained quietly. "Its... Princess training. I thought that maybe, under the pretext, you could learn to be a princess. I've already spoken to the teachers. They agree, they want you to be a princess."
Kayla shot me a look. "I already agreed to the lessons." She said. "Why are you still trying to convince me?"
I grinned as her answer sunk in. "I'll talk to Salina."
"I thought this whole plan was to avoid her."
"I need a new plan. I'm the prince, and she's my fiance." I made a face at the word. "I have to face her sometime, preferably before the wedding, which is hurtling toward us at light speed." I began to walk down the hall quickly, toward Salina's room, where I'd sworn never to go, it seemed just yesterday. I was in a much better mood than I'd been in before. How quickly things could change around here. "Dont worry, I'll fix this whole mess!" I shouted over my shoulder. I thought I saw Kayla wave before I turned the corner.

One thing is for sure, Jessica Simpson makes one beautiful bride!
The singer and fashion designer is featured on the cover of People's July 21 issue in all her bridal glory.
On the cover, Simpson poses in her Carolin Herrera wedding gown with husband Eric Johnson. It also features photos of her with their two children, 2-year-old daughter Maxwell and 1-year-old son Ace.
The couple tied the knot on July 5th at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif. in from tot 275 guests.
Jessica had a total of 12 bridesmaids and her mother and sister were her maids of honor.
"It's all about family of rue," Jessica tells the magazine.
When Jessica, 33, walked down the aisle, Eric was overwhelmed with emotion. "I saw my gorgeous wife coming towards me and she was crying," says the 34-year-old groom. "I think my heart was exploding a little bit." Jessica felt the same way throughout her wedding day. "It's so surreal," she says. "This has been something we've wanted ever since we met."

Frustrated Warnock eyes Bullard
QPR manager Neil Warnock admits Jimmy Bullard is one of several players he is hoping to sign this summer.
The west Londoners have been frustrated in their attempts to bring in new blood so far as they look to build for their return to the Barclays Premier League. Warnock admitted on Monday he had been irritated by the lack of transfer activity but he remains hopeful of bringing in new faces, which could include Hull midfielder Bullard.
"You are bound to be frustrated. We need five or six players," he told Sky Sports News. "I have spoken to three or four personally, but we haven't been able to afford either the transfer fees or the wages. We are down the line with a couple. Jimmy Bullard is one of a number we are talking about."
He added: "We need strikers and centre-halves. We need a number of positions filling.
"We would like to bring three or four good players in and I'm sure we will in the next few weeks."
While Warnock is looking to bring in new faces, the former Sheffield United boss insists he has not given up hope of persuading playmaker Adel Taarabt to stay.
The Morocco international has been the subject of speculation linking him with a move, with Paris St German, Arsenal and Chelsea mentioned as potential suitors.
However, Warnock has warned Taarabt will only leave if the move is right for the club.
"Until someone comes up with a realistic offer which the owners accept then Adel will be back the week after next training with us," he added.
"I've not written Adel off by any means."

The 24-year-old, partnering Marko Huebenbecker having piloted Kevin Kuske last time out, topped the timesheets in both runs in Switzerland to claim his first-ever two-man World Cup victory.
The German pair clocked 1:07.59minutes and 1:06.92 for an overall winning time of 2:14.51 with home duo Beat Hefti and Thomas Lamparter second 0.16seconds behind for silver.
Manuel Machata and Andreas Bredau, the German No.2 crew, completed the podium in third with an overall time of 2:14.94 with American's Steven Holcomb and Steven Langton fourth 0.10 behind.
Arndt's win comes during an impressive year so far that has seen him win team gold in the opening World Cup leg in Igls and the European four-man title at round four in Altenberg.
He won junior world two-man gold in 2010 and the four-man title last year and his win keeps up the pressure on Hefti at the top of the overall World Cup rankings.

No Moral Victories For Statistically Prolific Chargers
Different opponent, same story; the San Diego Chargers (2-5) managed to giftwrap a victory for an opposing team despite yet another statistically dominating performance, losing to the New England Patriots (5-1) 23-20 on Sunday afternoon in front of 68,386 at Qualcomm Stadium.
This is really starting to feel like a broken record: too many turnovers, critical mistakes on special teams and overall ineptitude caught up with the Bolts yet again. The four-time defending AFC West champions are now an embarrassing three games below .500 and share last place with the Denver Broncos.
There are no moral victories for a team that was a trendy preseason Super Bowl selection. Despite being ravaged by injuries and severely lacking in depth, the Chargers had every opportunity to beat the Patriots and continuously managed to shoot themselves in the foot.
Through two quarters of football, San Diego had outgained New England 146 yards to 38. They had the ball for 18:57 of the 30 minute half. Philip Rivers had amassed a hundred yards more in the air than Tom Brady.
Each of the past seven weeks, it seems, I've had to touch on how important the turnover battle is to winning football games. I tweeted it again on Sunday during the first half - give the ball away, give the ball game away.
And give the ball away is exactly what San Diego did - four times, to be exact - all of them in the first half, rendering all of their statistical advantages obsolete. Two of them shouldn't even be classified as turnovers, for they were giveaways in every sense of the word.
Rookie wide receiver Richard Goodman celebrated his first ever NFL catch by literally handing the ball over to the Patriots defense after not being downed by contact. Later, fullback Jacob Hester let a backwards pass bounce of his hands and lie still on the turf before the possibility of it being a fumble even crossed his mind. Of course, by that point the Patriots had already recovered it and were returning it the other direction.
And miraculously, despite the best efforts to hand the game to the atriots by the offense, the Chargers' remained in the game thanks to the outstanding play of the defensive unit. The Bolts trailed 13-3 at the half, with all of New England's points coming off of turnovers.
Philip Rivers and the offense managed to protect the ball in the second half, which predictably resulted in the Bolts getting back into the game. Things started to look up when the special teams unit managed to make a play (did I actually just type that?) by recovering an onside kick in the fourth quarter.
Somehow, despite all of the miscues and injuries, Philip Rivers had the ball in his hands with two minutes left in a one-possession game. As desperate as the Chargers were, it seemed as if their time to break through was finally here.
And then, right on cue, special teams found a way to bring it all crumbling to the ground. With kicker Kris Brown, signed this week with Nate Kaeding sidelined with a groin injury, lining up for a 45-yard field goal to tie the game with less than a minute left, the Chargers were called for a false start.
Suddenly, a 45-yard field goal become a 50 yarder. Predictably, Brown missed, hitting the right upright. Had he hit that same ball from 45 yards out, it almost certainly would have gone in.
Something that's always said about good teams is that they find ways to win. This Chargers team does the exact opposite - they find ways to lose.
The formula has been the same all year - turning the ball over to frequently, making crucial mistakes on special teams and committing stupid penalties. If the Bolts hope to make up ground in the weak AFC West, things need to be turned around quickly.
But even then, one must question whether or not it will be enough. Has this Chargers team finally dug itself into too deep a hole to escape even with a late season hot streak?

Rebellion on Melenya
The planet of Melenya was once a lush beautiful world until it was corrupted by an evil life force. It became virtually dead and only a few pockets of civilisation remained. coming to the head of power was a young, ambitious man who came to control all the people of Melenya. a rebellion rose up and eventually the hero of our tale, Pax Adorbis, rises up to join the rebellion, bringing all under one flag. together they attempt to fight the threat of an evil entity whcih can turned the planet into
Rebellion on Melenya
Melenya, a once lush and beautiful planet turned into a desolate wasteland except for a few pockets of vegetation. The surface had once been kept perfect by the positive life force of the planet. A pure, good substance of enormous power called Jen. The Jen came from the core of Melenya and made it's way to the surface through wells scattered across it created by a highly advanced culture. Jen kept the planet cleansed of the corrupting power of it's negative brother. Scen, evil in makeup and in it's corrupting nature. However, there was once a time when the planet had been covered by sand and ice, before any person had tred on it's surface.
Before the colonization of the planet by human like beings, it was dead, or at least looked like and thought to be so. An ancient, technologically advanced, civilisation had found the planet in its dead form but had detected the boundless amounts of power underneath the surface. They landed, built vast cities and tunnelled deep wells down to the core of the planet bringing forth the pure good jen energy. for many years, these masters of technology lived in paradise until the darkness spread over the land, for ther was another civilisation that had ideas of it's own for the power of Melenya.
They were a warmongering race from the shadows, whose sole goal was to bring their power to every planet in the galaxy, to turn every race into servants of their dark gods. However to accomplish their goal of spreading the shadows to every beacon of light, they needed a power great and limitless to power their machines of war. They were succumbing to their own animal instincts to feed and were killing each other of one by one having destroyed their planet with their unrelenting hunger. With limited time and finite resources, they stumbled upon this flourishing world inhabited by the Forerunners. The Scourge fell upon the Forerunners and, using what power they had for their machines, swept through the defences of the Forerunenrs and took control of the planet in the space of ten days.
With an inexhaustable supply of energy, those surviving Scourge flocked to Melenya to begin the rebuilding of their race. They enslaved the Forerunners, reconfigured the mines and began turning the Jen into Scen. They created this dark life force and drank heavily of this hemlock. The Scourge grew stronger than before but they did not fix the problem of the past and instead it grew and brought them to the brink of extinction. with the higher amounts of energy being developed, members of the Scourge became addicted to power highs which came with drinking the scen. These highs could not be sustained and eventually they fell to cannibalism once again.
This time they fed until only one was left, a particularly devious and cunning specimen named Vellium. He was neither the strongest nor the best in the war machines but he was highly intelligent and fed upon his fellows. However with the huge amounts of energy stored with his brothers and sisters now gone, his hunger turned up the meager amounts of energy stored within the Forerunners, turned slave miners. They did not last a week and with no beings left to leech off of, Vellium, sealed himself into the high cold mountains in the year 2958 and slept, thus ensuring that the Scen now pulsing round his body would keep him alive until he could feed again.
Chapter 1, How it began again
The first colinization shuttles touched down inside the largest city on the planet in 3048. Civil engineers, soldiers and vehicles came out. Whilst no life was detected on planet from the frigates in space, no chances were being taken by these survivors. In the midst of all their fears as they were pushed from their home by and expanding sun, as their numbers had been cut in half by a meteor shower, to be cut again by pirates and after all this saddness and mourning they had found a beacon of hope, a safe haven in the form of a large, deserted planet.
Of course suspicious at first, they had no choice but to land a see what was on the planet and after long extensive searches, they were rewarded with a new home. They brought the regulating facilities back online and got the Jen pumping again. they stumbled across all the discoveries of the Forerunners and made a huge leap forward in knowledge which one have taken them lifetimes they did not have. These advances aloud them to save thousands of lives which would have been lost without them and to remake the paradise of Melenya.
So great was the impact of the Forerunners that inevitably, a religion developed to give thanks for the technology which had saved so many and had provided a new home. the religion, and it's clerics, were named the Regulators, in honour of the towering facilities which brought the miracle liquid from the centre and brought new life. Just as before a beacon was set up and those fleets who had journeyed in different directions from the original group of nine planets, arrived with casualties scattered around but with renewed hope and faith.
years passed, the year was now 3452, the human colonizers had become complacent. The humans forgot the trials which they had to fight through in order to reach Melenya, deference to the Forerunners began falling into complacency that is not to say they weren't still worshipped but they were not regarded with the respect they deserved.
At the same time, men and women of corrupt souls and minds began rising to power. they took and held offices within politcs, the military, religion, every position where power rested heavily was held by someone with goals to elivate themself still higher. However there was one good man within the mix, the king, Hal Bear who still held a lot of power and his motives were not as self serving as his collegues.
The time was coming however and coming quickly when everyone would be awoken from the blissful ignorance in which they had been living for the grass had stirred and whispered to the rocks, which spoke to the birds, which sang to the trees. and the trees rocked the mountain from their roots to their dark heart, waking the dark inhabitant residing within.
No wells had been drilled up here, it was too difficult to retrieve and the Forerunners had not forseen collecting a lot from here. so they had been left and were tainted by the Scen which seemed to seep from Vellium. the mountains grew tall and dark but not as dark as they were within. In the grand chasm where he rested, Vellium's body poured Scen into the ground bringing an impenetrable darkness to the chamber. A chill whisper screamed through, coming from deep below and like two small hungry flames, the crimson eyes of Vellium opened for the first time in just under 500 years.
He stood eight feet tall, a towering black monolith dragging in with wrasping breaths. From his mouth and hands poured the Scen scorching the earth into which it streamed. From this cavern the Scen would flow across Melenya corrupting of killing everything like a plague. The planet had called for freedom from this increasingly destructive species and had awoken one which would destroy all within it's way. It is ironic that with such a vast communication network, no one was aware that on this day the seal on the perfect existence of the humans living on Melenya would be broken wide open.
Cyper Tarssle was sat at a computer console in the regulating facility of well seven allowing himself to slowly drift off to sleep, hoping that Amanda, an eighteen yea old woman would continue to diligently watch the same dials and monitors showing the same information as they always did. To be posted to one of the many regulating facilities was perhaps one of the dullest jobs within the Regulators. It was mostly used to train the new initiates but Cyper was here for another reason.
Back in the city of Crux he had questioned the teachings of the church elder. A new initiate would have been corrected back at the church but Cyper was not a new intitate. Sure he was young, only twenty six so young by clerical standards, but he was not new to the order. After five years of being in training at many postings within the Regulators, an initiate would conduct a kind of pilgrimage to each of the nine cities of Melenya to ask for the approval of each Elder and thereby join the higher ranks of the Regulators. It was the Elder's prerogative to give his acceptance or reject the seeker in which case a council would be convened to decide as a collective body on an initiate.
Cyper had joined the Regulators when he was fourteen, taking up many postings and after his five years he began his travels to each city. He had only two more to approvals to recieve, one from the Elder at the capital city of Melenya named star light in honour of one of the planets from the original nine and the other approval from the Elder of Crux. He had at first been attracted to the Regulators by the ancient tales of those Regulators who had saved many lives. once within however, he discovered that if these heros had ever been Regulators then the traditions had changed greatly.
He had witnessed many acts by sons and daughters of politicians that he was sure would not have been pardonable had they been commited by those of lesser social status. He was right. the religion had become tainted fairly quickly and when he arrived at Crux he was fortunate to discover the true, darker nature of the Elder.
Crux was the town for all the poor, criminal and unfortunate souls who had no where to go. Here they could make a little money to survive and live out there days. The criminal element had exxpanded steadily in Crux in all areas. On his first night in the city, Cyper had gone out for a drink and by a strange coincidence had been caused to vomit in a back alley on his way home. Down this alley as he had attempted to steady himself had been the elder and a beautiful woman. She had a soft body, deep purple lips and light blue eyes. Her once beautiful golden hair had been stained by blood and dirt. The creature responsible for taking the life of this lost woman was ensuring that his night ended well.
The Elder. a man of the faith. Cyper had confronted the villian quietly infront of a class of initiates. the man had gone white at first and then had roared with anger. Because of his honest conscience Cyper had been cast from all lists of advancement with the Regulators and the Elder who had come close to being exposed had been moved to a small town house where retired high ranking Regulators lived out the rest of their days in extreme comfort.

New Delhi, April 19: Citing delay in probe into cases of corruption in construction projects, the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has asked government departments to hire independent and reliable engineers to finish these investigations on time.
The Chief Technical Examination (CTE) wing of the Commission conducts intensive examination of works or procurement of various central government departments or organisations.
Some of the observations arising out of CTE inspections are converted into vigilance cases and referred to the Chief Vigilance Officers (CVOs), who act as distant arm of the CVC to check corruption, for conducting investigation and to identify the officers responsible for the lapses.
"For the purpose of investigation, an independent and reliable engineer, if considered necessary can also be appointed or hired for assisting the Chief Vigilance Officers," the CVC said in an order.
The Commission said of late it has observed that the reports of CVOs and replies to such CTE-related inspection matters are unduly delayed by the ministries or departments.
"There are inordinate delays in processing such matters or furnishing replies to the Commission resulting sometimes in retirement of suspected officials concerned.
Moreover, the delays have been viewed adversely by courts," it said.
The CVC has asked all its CVOs to expeditiously finalise the probe in pending corruption cases referred to them, the order said.

Full Show Summary
Pit bulls are eager to please, faithful and enthusiastic friends and pleasant with children according to credible canine organizations. Really, it's true. Yet, the public largely associates these dogs with fear, danger and unyielding aggression toward people. Pit bulls actually were once ranked among American's top five favorite pets and also known as the "nanny dog" for their gentleness with children. But they have fallen from grace. Now often associated with gang members, dog fighting and attacks, pit bulls are misunderstood, misjudged and under-appreciated. The ir bad rap stems from many misconceptions - the biggest is that they are "killer" dogs that pose a threat to society. While most dogs are known as man's best friend, people have lost hope for the pit bull. That's about to change. Animal Planet introduces you to this dog's greatest ally, and she's not a man - she's a fiery red-headed leading lady, and she's determined to end the needless hostility toward pit bulls. Meet Tia Maria Torres - 49-year-old mother, top pit bull trainer and founder and owner of Villalobos Rescue Center - the country's largest rescue facility for pit bulls. In PIT BULLS AND PAROLEES, which premieres Friday, October 30, at 10 PM et/pt, Torres is dead set on fighting the perception that pit bulls are the pariahs of the dog world and giving the ones in her care the love they deserve.

Minerva: Daughter of Athena
"Mother, mother....." I whisper, trying to wake her up. I bite my lip in temptation as I look at her golden helmet, I swear I'm the only one to see her without her helmet, I think she may have been born with it... Not that, that would be surprising of course, she was born a woman, never a baby. From the side of Zeus' head. Creepy.
I give into temptation, and creep around her large, lavish bed. I pick the helmet up carefully, she turns and moans in her sleep. I snigger, grab a brush from the table.
"WAKE UP!!!!!" I scream, banging the insides of the helmet with the brush.
"Wha- Minie-..." She turns over to me, peeks through her hair which is all over her face. I see her eyes widen as she yells, "MINERVA! PUT MY HELMET DOWN, NOW!" Her voice, cold hard, eyes narrowing in the at the corners.
My mother, the goddess of wisdom, skill and war. Trying to intimidating me, her thirteen year old teenager. Me, who just laughs in her face.
She gets out of her bed, taking a new approch, and tickles me around my waist. I double over in more laughter.
"Oh my baby, my baby. You are just like me when I was young." She says softly, removing my helemet from my grasp.
"It also helps that my name also means Althena, just in Roman." She hmms in agreement. "I swear you born a fully grown woman," She smiles at me in acknowelegment. "From the side of Zeus' hea-"
"Ok that's enough, no more human myths thank you."
"Ahh, but Mother. I need to know, I do have most of your powers y' know."
"Except for wisdo-"
"What do you expect Ma, I'm thirteen years old and you're older than the dinosaurs!"
"I am not!"
"Prove it." I fold my arms in front of my chest.
"You," She copies me. We look a like my mother and I, we're both tall, slim, biggish eyes, even if I am barly thirteen. I was luckly, I was allowed to stay. Mother gets dressed into her robes - as always.
"Mum, y' do realise that robes went out of fashion, um... two thousand years ago."
She points a lean finger at me, "Shutit you. I like to keep with traditions, unlike you. In you're modern clothes."
"Hardly, these are older than me!" I say, pulling at the bottom of my white summer dress, which goes down to my knees. They like me to keep in touch with the history, so most colours are out of the question, I have a broach with a side view of my mother on, with dark blue background. I have silver galdiator shoes and my dark wavy hair in a messy bun, a pearl hair clip keeping it all in place.
"You look lovely dear," she replys rearranging her hair in her helmet. One thing I know for sure, if I ever become the next 'Athena' then I am never wearing that helmet! Although, it would be nice to have a capital city named after me - or rather my mother.... I smile at my mother and help her with her armor.

Philosophy Lexicon of Arguments
|Nobody, some, philosophy: These expressions are not suitable for individualizing objects. The question is what status they have in the everyday language if they do not meet the requirements of the determinateness.

Everyone/All/Nobody/Ontology/Existence/Non-existence/Hintikka: If we allow the domain of our quantifiers to be extended to non-existent objects, the most urgent question is:
Where are these non-existent objects?
E.g. Everyone's lover - for example, nobody's lover.
Both are obviously possible. But unlike Meinong's round square.
E.g. "the envy of all" - e.g. "which is envied by everyone".
N.B.: both are incompatible. The former must love the latter, but the latter cannot be loved by the former.
Every/all/nobody/Hintikka: it is no solution to claim that "everyone" or "nobody" go only via existent things. ((s) That is, we need to allow non-existent or possible objects (possibilia) here.
Meinong/Hintikka: gained the power of his arguments from the fact that we have to allow non-existent objects here. (Also: Terence Parsons).
Non-existence/non-existent objects/localization/possible worlds/Hintikka: thesis: every non-existent object is in its own world.

Plus for cams you need a hell of a tuner.Quote:
upgraded intake/turbo pipes
upgraded twins other than RB(yes I know about Vargas but they arn't released and the more the merrier. It would be great to have 3 options)
fancy new intake mani
reving to 8k safely.
Here is the problem with cams: They will cost at least $800-1200. Labor to install will be what like $600-800 depending on the shop right? So $1400-2000...might as well just buy upgraded turbos. Or you are almost 1/2 way to vargas stage 3 or the shiv's single. They would have to really help to ever make it worth while. Maybe when you are out of mods to do and reving to 8k it may make sense or racing the car where you really need to powerband shifted to the right. All of the money spent on getting aftermarket cams in the head could be put into building the engine which would be a better place to dump $ if you are going for a high hp build. I just don't see it being worth while...Course I could be wrong about all of this...

Hey all thanks for readin:
My Gf has a cat that needs a good home. She isn't able to keep it due to lack of love on the part of her rents.. It's a beautiful grey 1 yr old cat..She works as an animal health tech and it was brought in as a stray.. It had kittens about 4 months ago and they have all found homes but no home for mama..
Being a stray so young made her skiddish around people but now she has adjusted to home life and is very well tempered. We don't want her to go to the spca as it will set back all the social progress she has made.
She has just been spayed a few weeks ago, and all her shots are up to date. She is very playfull and is litterbox trained and she actually plays with her toys and dosen't scratch up the furniture which is amazing.
If you are interested please pm me or give me a call at
604-761-3335. She is only able to keep it for a week or so till it must be removed then it goes to the spca where it may or may not be adopted as people generally look for kittens, but again she is just a year old and is a very beautiful cat.

Anna: ProblemsMature
I sighed and put my head in my hands, this is not the way I wanted it to pan out, I had wanted to tell Matt in my own time but Cara had put me in a predicament whereby I had to talk to Matt.
"Anna what's going on? Cara said that there were circumstances, care to explain" Matt asked me, a perplexed look on his face.
"Matt, leave it!" I said not really feeling in the mood to discuss it, I had been preparing myself earlier to tell him I didn't want to be with him but now it came to it I didn't feel as confident as I had been in my room.
"No, I wont just leave it, what's going on, talk to me" he said raising his voice slightly and clearly becoming agitated, "I mean, is it something I have done?" he asked.
"No, it's just…" I began but stopped unsure what I was going to say.
"It's just what Anna, what are these circumstances Cara mentioned, tell me!" Matt shouted.
"ALRIGHT!" I shouted back leaping from the chair I was sitting in and glaring at him, "It is something you have done"
"Well what is it?!"
"You pressurised me, you were so impatient you couldn't wait and now you have taken away my purity forever and there is no way for me to get it back!"
"You weren't complaining!"
"I felt as though I had to" I said, a sob escaping my mouth, I turned my back on him wiping away several stray tears which had slipped from my eyes.
"I thought I loved you but having sex with you made me realise that your not right for me, you weren't willing to wait for me" I turned to face him, he looked as though he was itching to argue back but I could see he was holding his tongue, allowing me to finish what I was going to say before replying.
"It's not working Matt, I think we should break up" I said quietly.
Matt's expression changed in a flash, his face which seconds ago had been contorted with pure rage now bore a slightly baffled look.
"What do you mean, we are perfect together, don't do this to me, I love you Annabella" he said.
"I'm sorry" I said stifling a sob.
"So was that the plan then, go out with me then when you get bored you dump me, after you had screwed me…."
"No it wasn't like that, I…"
"Because here is something for you to think about, I have loved you from the moment I met you and I honestly thought you were perfect for me" he paused and when I didn't reply he carried on. "It's not just your purity gone forever, it was mine to!" He said, several tears now slipping down his cheeks now.
"Matt, I…."
"Just go" he snapped.
Instead of going however I took a step forward, I felt bad now, I hadn't meant to hurt him – Matt however grabbed a mug from out of the sink and pelted it at the wall in anger. I jumped back in shock, turned and left the room heading in the direction of Cara's bedroom; I could hear Matt throwing whatever he could at the wall and the sound of them smashing into a million pieces.
I knocked timidly on Cara's door, opened it and slipped inside pressing the door shut behind me.
One more problem to go.

Now, forty years later, facing illness, divorce, career challenges, and even addiction, the women come together once again for a bittersweet month on an island in Maine. Staring down their fifties, they must consider the choices life is offering them now and face the pain of what happened long ago.

|Last 24 Hours:
I think much of the current chaos in American politics and the internecine battles among those of us who oppose the far left progressives are the result of a paradigm shift taking shape.
Physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn is credited with explaining the concept of a paradigm shift. The high level definition of a paradigm shift is just a fundamental change in the way something is done or how it is thought about. Kuhn's work explained the process through which the shift happens in science. Here's a very rough explanation of the process as I understand it.
If theory X is the dominant paradigm accepted by the scientific world but it is incomplete or incorrect, research will yield anomalous results. The anomalous results individually don't disprove theory X but over time they build up and some scientists start to argue for theory Y. Often there is a bitter struggle as those who have spent careers studying and teaching theory X refuse to accept theory Y. They attempt to explain any anomalies in terms of theory X which only leads to more anomalies. Theory Y may not become the dominant paradigm until the theory X holdouts literally die off.
So how does all that gobbledygook apply to politics?
Let's say that our theory X is the idea that the Republican Party is the party of conservatism and Constitutionally limited small government. Under that paradigm, any conservative is therefore obligated to align himself with the Republicans.
The tea party movement was mostly an expression of theory X. We fought back against the biased media who attacked the GOP. We held our nose to vote for John McCain and Mitt Romney. We got two terms of Obama. We elected more Republicans to Congress and offices in state governments, but it didn't move us closer to a restoration of constitutionally limited government and responsible spending. The anomalies piled up. Calling attention to them was treated as heresy or crackpot-ism.
The resulting conflict led to the nomination and subsequent election of Donald Trump which led to a flood of anomalies. The people who were outraged by President Clinton's poor character suddenly embraced a man just like him. Also anomalous was the fact that he wasn't even a conservative and had no particularly identifiable ideology. In fact, he wasn't even a Republican until very recently. Ironically, he was elected by people angry at being betrayed by pretend conservatives.
There's no shortage of anomalies to make us question our theory X, but different people have different thresholds of how many anomalies they can explain away.
Some of us are done trying. Many left the Republican Party altogether. In my experience they tend to be people who are thinking in the long term rather than just election to election.
Others are demanding that we get back in step with the dominant paradigm. Some of them are people who were once the heretics and crackpots at our sides. We are condemned for not defending a reprobate, self destructive, pseudo-Republican against biased attacks from a media he intentionally antagonized while spoon feeding them examples of his dishonesty and incompetence. We are expected to believe that attaching ourselves to him politically is not an intellectually suicidal act.
What is theory Y then? Maybe it is an Article V convention of States. Maybe it is a new party. I honestly don't know. At one point many of us thought that changing the Republican Party from within was the way forward. Recent history shows that to be a fruitless enterprise.
To those who still haven't given up on theory X, I suggest that they pay more attention to the ever growing stack of anomalies than attacking those who no longer believe that theory X is the way out of the political mess.

On June 2 the Library of America publishes "Kurt Vonnegut: Novels & Stories 1963-1973" (856 pages. $35), which includes four novels from his peak years. Recommended Reading is looking at each of the novels in turn this week.
"Slaughterhouse-Five" (1969) is Kurt Vonnegut's "Kind of Blue," his "London Calling," the work in which he put all his talents together and added an extra dimension. He fused his skill as a commercial storyteller, his inventiveness as a speculative fiction writer and his metafictional playfulness with an unexpected lyricism. He transmuted his World War II experiences as a prisoner of war during the Allied bombing of Dresden into a book that can be read multiple times in a lifetime.
While the tone of "Cat's Cradle" is bitter and that of "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater" manic, "Slaughterhouse-Five" sounds a somber depth that some have called fatalistic, but I prefer to see as a bone-deep acceptance. It is one of the most compelling war stories in American literature, while also being one of Vonnegut's least preachy books.
"All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true," he writes in the remarkable opening chapter, an autobiographical tale of how he came to write this novel. His whiskey-soaked war chatter with a fellow vet is interrupted by the friend's angry wife, who lets Vonnegut have it:
"You'll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you'll be played in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will look just wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them."
Vonnegut promises her he won't glamorize war, and he doesn't. Instead he gives us Billy Pilgrim, not much more than a baby when he's drafted into the Army, sent off to the European theater as a chaplain's assistant, and nearly beaten to death by a fellow American before both are taken prisoner by the Germans.
This might have been the makings of a traditional war story, but not for Vonnegut. He also has Billy kidnapped by a flying saucer in 1967, when he's taken to the planet Tralfamadore and displayed in a zoo for a while (where he's also mated with a former Earthling movie star, Montana Wildhack).
From his friendly hosts, who see in four dimensions instead of our paltry three, he learns something about time:
"The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at the funeral. All moments, past, presents, and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just the way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance."
Billy becomes unstuck in time, his awareness bouncing from one bead on his life's timeline to another. This enables Vonnegut to tell Billy's story "somewhat in telegraphic schizophrenic manner" of Tralfamadorian tales. For example, he whisks Billy from a collecting point for prisoners of war to his optometry office decades in the future. This quick-cut time shuffling allows Vonnegut to spread out the Dresden portion of Billy's timeline so the banality and the horrors can be absorbed, all the way through the flame-throwing disposal of multitudinous corpses and the shooting of an American POW for looting a teapot.
Billy also has the foreknowledge that he'll be murdered at age 46, but seems untroubled by this. After he is injured in a plane crash, he feels an urgency not to prevent his death but to tell people about the Tralfamadorians and what he learned. He types letters to the editor. He goes on a radio talk show. His grown daughters embarrassed and thinks he's going crazy. She doesn't know that he was once the greatest zoo attraction on Tralfamadore. The first question he was asked by the Tralfamadorian crowd watching him:
"Are you happy here?"
"About as happy as I was on Earth," said Billy Pilgrim, which was true.
As if he somehow intuited (or, in the Tralfamadoran sense, knew) that "Slaughterhouse-Five" would be the nexus of his literary work, Vonnegut brings many of his other books' protagonists into this one. Howard W. Campbell Jr., the American Nazi propagandist of "Mother Night," visits Billy and other American prisoners of war in Dresden. Later, when Billy is in the hospital recovering from a breakdown, the man in the next bed is fellow vet and millionaire Eliot Rosewater ("God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater'), who introduces Billy to the work of Kilgore Trout, the sci-fi writer who shows up in many Vonnegut novels:
"If Kilgore Trout could only write!" Rosewater exclaimed. He had a point: Kilgore Trout's unpopularity was deserved. His prose was frightful. Only his ideas were good.
In Vonnegut's next novel, "Breakfast of Champions" (1973), readers find out a lot more, good and bad, about the power of Trout's ideas. My June 3 post, which concludes this series, will be on "Breakfast of Champions." Earlier posts in this series include looks at "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater," "Cat's Cradle" and an introductory overview.
