There is the emotional mourning, the painful and invisible grief work, that seems to take much longer than you wish it did. And there are all the decisions to be made about dealing with the remains of a life.
First you have to decide how to deal with the physical remains, a body or cremated ashes. These are hard decisions and become more complex when the family is a large one with varying opinions. I think my family did an amazing job of working through these decisions when my brother died. This is the beautiful location of my brother's physical remains. A perfect decision.
But what about all the other remnants of a life...all the things that he owned, collected, saved and cherished?
What do you do with all the "stuff"?
You want to have enough to still feel connected to a loved one and to be able to emotionally connect with your memories. But what do you need and what do you do with all the other treasures?!
Pam had a very interesting blog post on mourning jewelry made from the hair of the deceased as a souvenir and reminder of their loved one - click here to read her post. That is a lost art of being able to turn human hair into a treasured piece of jewelry.
This is some of my brother's stuff that came to live with me. My brother's canning jars (he loved to garden and make soups and jam) and of course, some of his clothing. I am going to make quilts for his boys for Christmas.
Notice that I didn't say which Christmas! First I have to be brave enough to open the bag!

It sounds like your family worked very well together to make some difficult decisions. I'm thankful both my in-laws have all their wishes in writing as do my parents and have elected someone to honor their wishes. Open the bag when you are ready - maybe a Christmas gift or HS graduation gift fpr the boys.ReplyDelete
It seems like it is never over. Give yourself time and it will get easier. HugsReplyDelete
Some things, particularly grieving, cannot be rushed. When the time is right you will be able to open the bag and make the quilts and they will be very precious quilts.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful post - the grief process is some of the hardest work we'll ever do. And the "stuff" adds even more layers. You will know the it is time to make the quilts. Be gentle with yourself in the meantime.ReplyDelete
I have a box of my mothers clothes for that someday when I am ready to open it and make it into a quilt. But not today.ReplyDelete
It all takes time. I still have some shirts from when my brother died in 2008 that I haven't even touched.:) You have to do it at your own speed.ReplyDelete
Oh Sweetie! Such a hard time for you, and unfortunately it will be for a while. But you are doing it right - you're talking about him and his life and what you loved so much about him. And you're talking about your loss and grief and questions. I know it won't be too much longer before you will be able to open that bag with a smile on your face and a lovely memory in your mind of him smiling with joy as he filled those jars with love....just as you will do too. HUGS!!!ReplyDelete
A very thought-provoking post, Kathy. These are things we don't usually consider until forced to.ReplyDelete
We had a good friend die suddenly a couple of months ago. A week or so after the funeral I asked his widow, also a good friend, if I could make her a quilt from his shirts. She was thrilled with the idea and said she was going to go through the clothing in another week or two and she would get back to me. After a month I contacted her and she said she had finally realized that it was going to be too painful to go through the clothing that soon--maybe after Christmas. Take your time. When it is doable, you will know.
You will know when the time is right, the boys will love the quilts made using their fathers clothing......I did that for my sister when her husband passed. When she was ready to give up some of his clothing, I made the quilt and she holds it close....she loves it and is comforted by itReplyDelete
It will be a gift to them from you and your brother
I agree, there is a lot of work associated with grief...tough work. I hug you through it!! I have tons of my brothers clothes to someday put into a quilt to...someday!!ReplyDelete
I still haven't done anything with my father's ties and dress shirts. They are still in the box, and he died 4 years ago. Wait until you are ready.ReplyDelete
It's that you saved something that reminded you of treasured memories of your brother's life.ReplyDelete
Thought provoking post! You must have been very close to your brother to pick the things you did. I am sure your nephews will be ever so grateful to have a quilt made from his clothing. Time heals and someday you will feel ready.ReplyDelete
((hugs)) I'm sure when you do work through the bag, that it will be a healing task in your personal journey of grief.ReplyDelete

I'm wondering if I can stripe a bag with red coloring to tip white roses red, or do I need to make red frosting first, then stripe with the red frosting to get a true red color? I'm afraid that my tips will still look pink.
Any advice?

PROMISED LAND OF HEAVY METAL Film Application is an introduction to the world of heavy metal in general and to the Finnish heavy metal scene past and present. For a beginner and an enthusiast alike, it gives insight and anecdotes, ideas and conclusions and basis for further speculation in the ever inspiring subject of Heavy Metal.
"What is remarkable about this film is that it touches on aspects of the country's music scene that have not yet been explored in an anthropological way." Louise Brown (Editor, Terrorizer Magazine, UK)
"How is life and the Metal scene in Finland?" I don´t need to talk about it -I just put this into the player." (Klaudia Weber, Stalker, Germany)
"This film is one of the very best metal documentaries ever made." (Šaćir Čamo, Metal Revolution, Denmark)
"If metal is your true passion and you like especially Finnish metal, please give this film a heavy rotation in your player and enjoy! Kimmo&Tanja have put together a fantastic masterpiece of Rockumentary which will stand the corrosion of time. By the scene for the scene. Suomi Perkele!!!" (Thida Comello, MFT, Holland)

"Promised Land of Heavy Metal" documentary tells the story of Finnish Metal, from its early "underground" days to the present success stories, by interviewing famous musicians, experts and events organizers, a psychiatrist and a doctor of theology. The film takes us literally from the graveyard to the Finnish President's palace!
Why is Metal a religion for so many? What are it's links to satanism and ritualistic murders? What made Metal mainstream in Finland? Why does the Finnish Church have Metal Masses? What's the future of Metal, after LORDI won the Eurovision song contest and even the President approves?
We hear strong opinions: some see Metal as the new folk music, while others detest it's commercial aspect.
The film is narrated by Kimmo Kuusniemi, a filmmaker, Sarcofagus guitarist and a forefather of Finnish Metal. Kimmo has lived in England for 16 years, and sees the current popularity of Heavy Metal as a strange phenomenon. He was the one who fought for the metal message 30 years ago! What happened in Finland in his absence?
The film is directed by Tanja K Karttunen.

Sam Jones, Nana Visitor, Garry Walberg, Daniel Davis, John Allen, Sarah Dammann, A cemetery in a studio, A street-wise kid with medical training
Dir: Michael Schultz
Wri: Steven E. De Souza
Ellen Dolan - "How do I get myself into these things?"
A pilot for The Spirit television show that never happened, starring former Flash Gordon, Sam Jones as Denny Colt/The Spirit.
The Spirit created by comic's legend Will Eisner is highly regarded material and this pilot isn't a bad attempt at bringing the iconic hero to the small screen.
Casting Sam Jones however kept the character of The Spirit two dimensional and the simple fact is it's just really really dull.
Denny Colt (Jones) is a police officer, doing police business, which means sometimes having to attend a crime scene where say...his best friend has been bumped off.
This irritates Colt, and as he lacks the acting ability to get upset about the situation, he searches out the Commissioner of police to tell him he has plans to follow a suspect!
Commissioner Dolan (Walberg) is less impressed at this, as he thinks a police officer's job is to follow suspects anyway, but it does seem to impress the Commissioners daughter, Ellen (Visitor).
She is taken aback by his rugged manliness, his direct approach, and the fact she always dreamed of playing Dale Arden in Flash Gordon.
Growing rapidly bored of Ellen's infatuation, Colt turns his attention to dishing out advice to a streetwise kid who he spots selling knock-off goods.
He tells him that selling counterfeit items is bad, that appearing in live-action adventures about The Spirit is worse, and no matter how much he is asked he can't get anyone Max Von Sydow's autograph.
Before the kid can say
"what you talking 'bout Denny?",
Colt is off to a museum on the trail of his chief suspect Simon Teasdale (Davis).
But Teasdale is less than happy at being dragged into such a boring show and pleads for Colt to do something interesting as thirteen minutes have passed so far and it almost feels as though time is moving backwards.
Denny informs Teasdale that interesting stuff is happening, but it's happening in a quirky and off-beat manner, which he and the audience might not appreciate, but it's going to continue that way anyway.
Teasdale agrees to disagree and sends Denny off to a pier, where he is shot and thanks mostly to the acting skills on display it's presumed he must be dead.
In fact he hasn't passed on just yet, and wakes up in an unconvincing cemetery in a studio, where the streetwise kid drags him into a crypt and performs life saving medical attention.
The kids ability to wrap bandages around his chest works, and now back from the dead, deciding to fight crime undercover, backed by an action montage and donning a mask, Denny Colt becomes.... The Spirit!
With a new outlook on life, the Spirit races off to see Commissioner Dolan to tell him there's a new hero in town.
Dolan is mildly interested, but this pales into insignificance when his daughter Ellen arrives to create a bit of sexual tension, 80s style.
Despite all this there is still very little going on, so The Spirit returns to the museum to confront Teasdale, has a punch up, nearly gets boiled alive, dresses up as an old man and then discovers he had the wrong suspect all along.
Heavily depressed at wasting so much time and considering whether this is really the best line of work to be in, The Spirit manages to find the right suspect, but lets her slip through his fingers.
As he walks off into obscurity, he prays things won't get any worse then he gets a call from Frank Miller.
*The Spirit pilot never made it into a full series, mostly because despite some fun moments it's just dull!
*In 2008
The Spirit
made it to the big-screen courtesy of comic's legend Frank Miller, but it's safe to say it's unlikely there will ever be a sequel. If you haven't ever seen that version, then thank God for such a blessing and pray that you never...ever...do!
*Sam Jones is most famous for playing comic-book hero Flash Gordon in the 1980 film of the same name.
He even made an appearance in the 2007 series
Flash Gordon
...but he probably doesn't like to talk about it....and he shouldn't.

But on Monday, Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said that Qatar would not negotiate with the four states until they lifted their blockade against Doha.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain cut ties with Qatar this month alleging that the country funds terrorism an accusation that Qatar denies.
Turkey rejected a call from four Arab states on Friday to shut down its military base in Qatar, saying the base was a guarantor of regional security, and demands for its closure represented interference in its ties with Doha.
Customs and Trade Minister Bulent Tufenkci said Turkish exports to Qatar have tripled since the four Arab countries began boycotting the Gulf state earlier this month.
Having urged Qatar's neighbors to come up with "reasonable and actionable" demands, the USA sought to distance itself from the crisis the day after the Arab countries issued a list that included several provisions Qatar had already declared it could not or would not accept.
According to AP, the list commands Qatar to halt funding to other news publications, including Middle East Eye.
Meanwhile, there are also five armored vehicles in the Turkish military base in Qatar.
Associated Press and Reuters news agencies reported it obtained the list from unnamed officials from one of the countries involved in isolating Qatar.
In addition, the country must locate and extradite all individuals now facing terrorism charges in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the other signatory states.
As CNSNews.com reported earlier, Al-Jazeera this month published a fatwa defending Qatar against the allegations of terror-sponsorship - written by a radical cleric who has been designated by the USA and United Nations for facilitating and funding terrorism.
According to the list, Qatar must stop granting citizenship to wanted nationals from the four countries and revoke citizenship for existing nationals from those countries where it violates their laws.
"We cannot expect an end to the crisis, solutions are not yet developed and the countries besieged Qatar have not provided any clear reasons for the steps they have taken", he said.
Qatar has been isolated by a number of Arab and African states for its alleged support of terrorism and Iran.
With just days to decide, Qatar on Friday weighed an onerous list of demands by its neighbors as a way out of a regional crisis, and a top Emirati official warned the tiny country to brace for a long-term economic squeeze unless it is willing to acquiesce.
The U.S. issued that litmus test amid frustration at how long it was taking Saudi Arabia and others to formalize a list of demands, complicating U.S. efforts to bring about a resolution to the worst Gulf diplomatic crisis in years.
As well as cutting diplomatic ties, Qatar's neighbours closed their air space to Qatari carriers and blocked the emirates' only land border, vital for its food imports.
Sever all ties to "terrorist organizations", specifically the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic State group, al-Qaida, and Lebanon's Hezbollah. It backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Hamas in the Gaza Strip and armed factions opposed by the U.A.E. or Saudi Arabia in Libya and Syria.

|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Romantic and well-kept mansard in a stone rustic located in a mountain village overlooking the lake (Sanico 950 slm). In about twenty minutes you can be in Bellano or Varenna (where there is boarding for Menaggio and Bellagio).
In the northern part of the lake there are the beaches of Dervio and Colico where to sail, windsurf or kitesurf and where there is now also a beautiful swimming pool.
However, you can choose to stay in the mountains to enjoy the cool of a beautiful walk for example in the woods of Pian delle Betulle or to try the excitement of paragliding from Giumello's Alps.
In the winter you can also ski by enjoying the magnificent panorama of the lake below.
At 1h30 from Milan.
We really enjoyed our stay in Sanico. The accomodation was clean, ample and stylish.
The village is perfect base for both mountain walks and lakeside people watching, we also fitted in a day in Milan on the train.
You are quite a drive from the main tourist spots but this means that you are away from the hustle and bustle of tourists and can enjoy the stunning view of the lake in peace.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
The apartment is very nice and looks exactly as described. It is the perfect location for those who like peaceful environment and want top escape the heat of the lake many tourists in the lake. You can go to trips in the lake area early in the morning when it is cooler and spend the hot hours in the apartment and area. View is wonderful. Local Pizeria provides dinner and amazing view.
We stayed here with our two young children and loved it so much we extended our stay! The area is beautiful, breathtaking and peaceful. The apartment is clean, stylish and tastefully decorated with all the necessities. The owners were very helpful and accommodating with our last minute travel plans. They also truely want you to enjoy your stay as the home is special to their family. That in itself speaks volumes! The lady who helps with coordinating arrival and departure details was so pleasant and kind. She neighbours the house and I felt like we had been neighbours for a long time. Thank you to her and the wonderful owners for making our visit to Northern Italy extremely memorable. We most definitely hope to return!
My wife and two small children traveled from the states for a week in Lake Como. First, let me say much of our trip was possible due to the kind help of our hosts. Not only did the owners call and make reservations for us (given the language barrier), they did so over a few week period without complaint. We really appreciated that.
The house is higher on the mountain, as stated in another review, it will take 20mins or so to reach the bottom. The roads can also be a challenge to drive, well especially if you are from New York. Though Como and Bellano are nice to visit, the real charm of our visit was the area surround the house. There are several local farms offering amazing meals (many who source 50% of the meal from their own properties), as well, there is a wonderful wine region just over the other side of the mountain. Lastly, I'd also highlight there is a supermarket about 10mins away, so really no need to constantly go to Bellano.
The apartment itself was more than enough space for our family. They had bunk beds and a pack n play for the baby. There are MANY churches in the area, so yes we did hear bells constantly; however after a day I never really noticed them. View is spectacular though. Lastly, not sure if it's listed in the description, but the apartment has a clothes washer and dishwasher. Also, there were toys there for the kids (blocks, legos), both a big hit.
If you are looking for a very reasonably priced house for the week, away from the tourists of Como, this is your spot.
casa splendida ed accogliente, panorama dal salotto e dal balcone veramente unico, posizione ottimale x passeggiate sui monti, facile accesso al lago. ideale x una vacanza di quiete e movimento a contatto con la natura.
Das kleine Örtchen Sanico und die liebe- und stilvoll eingerichtete kleine aber feine Wohnung von Alessandra und ihrer Familie bot uns als vierköpfige Familie eine erholsame Zeit rund um den Comer See. Wer sich gerne vom Trubel am See erholen möchte ist hier genau richtig. Der Blick auf den See und die Berge vom Balkon haben uns immer wieder fasziniert.
"Mille Gracie" an Alessandra für die zahlreichen hilfreichen Informationen rund um unseren Urlaub in Sanico und "Mille Gracie" an Marialuisa für die gute und sehr freundliche Begleitung vor Ort.
Wir können die Wohnung uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen!!

It was the perfect response in midweek away to Saint-Etienne. Paris Saint-Germain earned a valiant 3-1 win and thus booked a place in the final-four of the Coupe de France. It keeps that unprecedented dream of back-to-back quadruples well on track. But, our meeting with Montpellier tomorrow will not be at the forefront of everyone's mind as we head to London for the second-leg of the last-16 in the Champions League against Chelsea.
As in any fixture before a European clash, you can guarantee that Laurent Blanc will ring the changes. The likes of Angel di Maria and Marco Verratti have been struggling with injuries so their involvement tomorrow looks minimal (if at least on the bench). Blaise Matuidi picked up a knock during the win over Les Verts and had to be replaced so he will more than likely sit this one out. His involvement next week is in doubt, which will be a huge blow as we need his legs in midfield. Javier Pastore completed 90 minutes after his barrage of bad luck with injuries this season but should be involved to build his match fitness.
The coach has a lot to ponder as the game at Stamford Bridge is our biggest test of the season. If we can overcome the Blues – who are in good form under new coach Guus Hiddink – it will give us monumental belief heading into the quarter-final. As I said before the first-leg, the pressure is on us more than ever as we are classed as the favourites for the first time (especially now as we are taking a lead into the second-leg, unlike last season).
The lads cannot forget though that they have an important match at the Parc against MHSC. It is so easy for minds to wander towards Wednesday. As we have seen down the years our performance level evidently drops before big European nights. That has not been the case this season as the lads have paid the utmost 'respect' to all teams they have faced domestically. The skipper Thiago Silva did admit recently that this was not the case in the last campaign as they prioritised the bigger games (and pretty much explains our inconsistent start to that quadruple winning campaign).
Minds better be on the task in hand because Montpellier are in a terrific run of form. Three back-to-back wins have seen relegation fears eased. They have put an awful January behind them and can start to look above rather than down in the table.
Our win at the Stade de la Mosson last September was only by the solitary goal via Blaise Matuidi on the hour mark. However, they will take heart from the 0-0 they held us to at the Parc des Princes just before the winter break in 2014.

Caninus Technical Guarantee
At the end of the Obedience Course, all dogs that are not at the technical level that distinguishes us from other training centres, through our fault or a fault of the dog's, due to the level of excellence we always encourage in our students, will have sufficient extra classes to achieve this level, at no additional charge for owners.
We believe in and always defend honesty and professional honour, preparing courses with scheduled starting and finishing dates and we don't agree with the "endless class system" without any guarantees, where dogs and owners are often strongly prejudiced.

In April 2017, we sponsored an online survey focused on cloud automation in order to understand if—and how—corporate IT departments are using automation to develop and deliver new workloads and applications. More than 1,000 IT professionals from US companies with at least 1,000 employees participated in the survey. The majority of respondents (56%) said that at least half of their deployment pipelines are now automated, and 63% said they can deploy new applications in less than six weeks.
According to the results of the survey, companies that have embraced cloud automation can deploy new applications and workloads faster and more frequently, while recovering from failures with more agility than organizations that struggle to adopt automated processes, testing and monitoring. Furthermore, per the survey results, 41% of corporate IT departments are producing more than 10 new cloud workloads every year, and 56% have automated at least half of all their artifact creation and deployment pipelines. Another 66% said that at least half of all their quality assessments (lint, unit tests, etc.) are automated.
"The survey results reiterate what we're hearing from clients and prospects: automation, driven by cloud technologies, is critical to the rapid delivery of new workloads and applications," says Jeff Aden, EVP of Marketing & Strategic Business Development & Co-Founder at 2nd Watch. "Companies are automating everything from artifact creation to deployment pipelines and process, which includes metrics, documentation and data. The result is faster time-to-market for new applications, and less application downtime."
More survey results:
- 63% said that deploying new applications takes less than six weeks
- 44% said that deploying new code to production takes a day or less
- 54% said they are deploying new code changes at least once a week
- 50% said it takes a day or less to recover from application failure
- 55% said they are measuring application quality by testing everything

October: OpalPosted by Steffan's Jewelers on Mar 25, 2014 in Birthstones & Gemstones | 0 comments
The word opal comes from the Latin word "opalus" meaning precious jewel. It was called "Cupid Paederos" by the Romans, meaning a child beautiful as love. In mythology, the gods saw it as the embodiment of the beauty of all precious stones. Opals were said to be the tears of joy shed by Zeus when he conquered the Titans.
The opal dates back to prehistoric times. It is non-crystallized silica, which is a mineral found near the earth's surface in areas where geothermal hot springs existed. As the hot springs dried up, layers of silica combined with water, were deposited into the bedrock cracks forming opal. Opals contain up to 30% water, so it is very important to protect it from heat and harsh chemicals. With a ranking of only 5.5 on the Moh's Hardness Scale, opal is very soft and can break easily so it must be protected from sharp blows.
There are 4 types of precious opals: white (also known as light opals), fire, water and black opals. White are the most common and the black opals are the most rare.
Opals were believed to ward off nightmares and protect the eyesight. They were set into crowns and worn in necklaces to ward off evil. It has a beneficial effect on the psyche, healing broken hearts and restoring inner harmony. Opal is believed to provide foresight and prophecy.
The opal is the national gemstone of Australia and the suggested stone for the 14th wedding anniversary. A gift of opal is symbolic of faithfulness and confidence.

Again, Britain was achingly close to another bracelet at the 2011 World Series of Poker this year with the $1,500 6-max event that saw David Vamplew, winner of EPT London last year, take a big chip lead to the final table. Unfortunately he busted in fourth with twice-6-max-WSOP-bracelet-winner Jeffrey Papola exiting in third.
That left us with a long, long heads-up battle. Klein was outchipped immensely when he began playing Eddie Blumenthal but doubled up in the convenient spots to quickly even up the stacks. From there he put constant pressure on Blumenthal and won most of the heads-up pots, thanks largely to Blumenthal's passive play.One hand, shortly before the end, left Klein red-faced though. He called a 4-bet shove with A-To and was delighted to see he was ahead against A-7. When the board ran out Q-8-4-4-J he began to celebrate with his rail before being told it was a chop. Just a few hands later, though, they got it in with Blumenthal holding 7-7 versus A-K.The flop was a safe one, 8-5-5 but the king of diamonds on the turn paired up Klein before the queen of diamonds made his nut flush. Blumenthal stormed out of the room, unconsoled by his $334,756 runner-up prize.The full payouts were as follows:1.Geffrey Klein $544,3882.Eddie Blumenthal $334,7563.Jeffrey Papola $214,4104.David Vamplew $141,0305.Bryan Colin $95,3336.Anthony Spinella $66,199

Backpacking star in fine spirits after European trip and happy to share his views on model forms
The One mall kicked off a week-long autumn-winter fashion preview featuring a string of brands and a different Taiwanese celebrity guest of honour each day.
Television actor Joseph Cheng Yuan-chang attended the opening night on Monday. The heart-throb was in high spirits after spending a month backpacking in Europe. 'I really appreciated the experience. Nobody recognised me,' he said.
Although he didn't find a girlfriend during the trip, Cheng would have been happy to have had a holiday romance. 'But I don't speak very good English, I had to rely on body language and smiles,' he said.
Sitting in the front row, Cheng seemed unimpressed by the stick-thin runway models. 'These models are way too skinny,' he said. 'One girl's thigh was the size of my wrist. I like girls that are healthier looking, and the sporty kind.'

Nurses - Apple's Acre ▼
Portland based psychedelic pop trio - Aaron Chapman (vocals, guitar, keyboard) , John Bowers (backing vocals, keyboard), and James Mitchell (percussionist) - Nurses, recently released their second album "Apple's Acre". Taking a more whimsical & theatrical approach, and deviating from their initial release - "Hangin' Nothin' But Our Hands Down", it could either make or break them. Personally the switch was a good move, but someone else might agree to disagree. It's the little attempts at experimental noise, so subtle your mind unconciously picks it up and incorporates it into an euphonic experience. Little chimes, whistling, clapping, small shakes of the tambourine not quite overpowered Aaron's vocals. There have been mixed reviews on Nurses, and I have stated my 2cents. To listen or not to listen, that is the question. Your move.

(NHN) US Prisons
3 comments:
I agree that educating our prisoners is the best shot at getting them to change their ways.ReplyDelete
However, it is also something we need to start tackling before people turn into criminal in the first place.
But not only do we need to make education accessible, we have to make it desirable for the public. As of right now, being educated doesn't mean much to the average citizen.
Quite right; education means little to most people. Or rather, abetted by the political and media classes, almost everyone has come to think of education, reductively, as a means to an economic end, never as something one might do for its own inherent pleasure and value. So most people learn to dislike learning and are deeply disconnected from it, and for some it's not until they're in prison that they find the time to discover what it's really like.ReplyDelete
Yes, this essay focuses more on the sad consequences of having the world's highest rate of incarceration (concentrated in certain populations), not so much its causes.ReplyDelete

I don't see it as one thing evil; however I do see it as something with potential disadvantages, and that wouldn't really come across to somebody who had learn each 'Secrets and techniques of the Child Whisperer' and your post, because what you stated doesn't actually represent what Hogg says and would thus be simple to dismiss.
You also needs to get an infant seat on your baby. These seats are there to assist your younger baby sit up, not to help your child be secured in a automobile. In this type of seat, the bottom ought to have nonskid surfacing and must be wider than the seat, and it ought to have a safe locking mechanism, along with washable material. Never place your child within the seat on an elevated surface that the infant can fall from.
So, whereas I actually disagreed with a few of the suggested approaches in this e book, different data was so useful to me that I've to cease myself from blabbing about it to other mothers who complain to me that their 1 or 2 12 months olds don't nap. To assume that anybody could consider that someone so lovely and innocent as a child was evil is horrible to me. And to think about all the infants that suffer, both bodily and emotionally from abuse makes my coronary heart ache for them. Only constructive parenting books for me now, ones that teach ME methods to perceive my four yr outdated, train her … Read More

The young British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is that comparatively rare thing, an erstwhile child prodigy who has developed into an artist of serious integrity and originality under his own steam and been allowed to remain relatively out of the spotlight whilst doing so. The grainy YouTube footage of him stunning the BBC Young Musician of the Year jury in 2004 with a supremely sassy, bluesy account of the Ravel Piano Concerto, despite being almost too small to reach the pedals, remains quite astonishing a decade later. He was only 11 at the time. Ten years on, his latest solo disc, Dances, is so mesmerising from the opening bars that it had me glued to my desk for three hours whilst I listened on loop, eagerly conscripting my various colleagues as they returned from lunch and meetings.
Benjamin Grosvenor
Still just 22 (and two years into a solo recording contract with Decca), Grosvenor plays with a conviction, authority and imagination which is almost uncanny in such a young artist, and which is all the more striking when contrasted with the unworldly, bashful manner which comes across in interviews. One of the most jaw-dropping (and moving) live performances I've witnessed in recent years occurred back in 2012, when Grosvenor was awarded the Young Artist of the Year prize at the Gramophone Awards: having already won the pre-announced Instrumental Category and accepted the award with a nervy prepared speech, the young pianist was visibly taken aback to receive an unexpected second honour and haltingly informed his audience that he wasn't up to improvising another speech. Instead, he wandered over to the piano next to the stage and stunned the assembled company with an uproarious, virtuosic two-minute showpiece which owed not a little to Jerry Lee Lewis's Great Balls of Fire and Liberace, and which brought the entire audience to their feet as the room erupted with roars of applause not often heard at such events. Job done, Grosvenor bowed diffidently and scuttled straight back to his seat, his self-effacing manner the polar opposite of the extrovert, assured display we'd just witnessed. The work in question, Morton Gould's Boogie—Woogie Etude, provides a delightfully unbuttoned, exuberant coda to a disc which I'm certain will garner a slew of award nominations and crop up on many Discs of the Year features some four months hence – it'll certainly be heading up mine.
Spanning Bach and Gould (and taking in Chopin, Granados, Scriabin, and Albeniz along the way), Dances is based on a programme which Grosvenor performed for his Southbank Centre debut in 2012 to great acclaim: whether in sarabandes, gigues, tangos or waltzes, his playing exudes a buoyance and clarity which really does dance. Everything is consummately classy and eloquent, but nothing is cerebral or micro-managed (as some slight criticisms of that 2012 recital suggested) – and whilst Grosvenor seems incapable of showboating or otherwise indulging in the flashy gestures of some of his contemporaries, he's never shy of unleashing the big guns when the music calls for it (for instance in the Chopin Grand Polonaise brillante, and some of the Scriabin mazurkas) or of embracing the sugar-plum schmaltz of Adolf Schulz-Evler's transcription of the Blue Danube Waltzes.
This is an awe-inspiring, simply joyous programme which is much more than a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (though it is that too): Grosvenor is already a supremely confident, individual musician with technique to burn and plenty to say, though he never gets in the way of the music. Mark my words, this one will be garlanded with awards in the coming months – and, more importantly, will bring countless hours of pleasure.

Presto Recommends – Maurice Ravel
This week James picks out some of the best recordings of the French composer Maurice Ravel. Most famous for his hypnotic Boléro, Ravel was a notorious perfectionist (accounting for his relatively small output), and his works clearly show this minute attention to detail.
His orchestration, in particular, has been held up as a model of originality, and it's clear from his Ma Mère l'Oye, as well as his arrangement for orchestra of Mussorgsky's piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition, that he had a real genius for instrumental colour.
You can read through James's Ravel choices here.

Buxtehude - Vocal Works 9
Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Amsterdam Baroque Choir, Ton Koopman
This is the 19th and penultimate volume in a highly acclaimed survey of the complete works of Dieterich Buxtehude by the renowned early music director Ton Koopman and the musicians and singers of Amsterdam Baroque. It is the ninth release devoted to the composer's vocal works, and features compositions which are not linked to the liturgical service and are consequently extremely free and innovative in form and content.
Saint-Saëns: Violin Concerto No. 3 & Symphony No. 3
Alexandre Da Costa (violin), Oviedo Filarmonía, Marzio Conti
Canadian violinist Alexandre Da Costa was a prodigious talent on the violin and piano, and after obtaining at the age of 18 a Master's Degree and First Prize from the Conservatoire de Musique du Québec, he continued his studies with Zakhar Bron. The many prizes he has won include a Juno Award in 2012, the Sylva Gelber Foundation Award from the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Virginia-Parker Prize, one of Canada's highest cultural distinctions.
Viktor Ullmann: The Complete Works for Piano Solo
Christophe Sirodeau (piano)
In the booklet notes, Sirodeau explains his aim in making this recording: 'Viktor Ullmann should be studied and played not as a victim of the Nazis but on his own merits, which in my opinion earn him an illustrious place in twentieth-century music.' Although the release of this two-cd set of Ullmann's complete piano music coincides with the 70th anniversary of the composer's death, it is thus rather intended as a celebration of his life.

Jonathan Dove: All You Who Sleep Tonight: Song Cycles
Claire Booth (soprano), Patricia Bardon (mezzo-soprano), Nicky Spence (tenor) & Andrew Matthews-Owen (piano)
Jonathan Dove is one of Britain's most resourceful and versatile contemporary composers. Cut My Shadow is a powerful and harrowing setting of three Lorca texts notable for a sense of constant unease and longing for a homeland. All You Who Sleep Tonight, to poems by Vikram Seth, is elegant, moving, and witty whilst Ariel explores Shakespeare's elusive character from The Tempest in a rôle for unaccompanied soprano.

Rameau: Les Indes galantes, Castor & Pollux
Les Arts Florissants, William Christie
Jean-Philippe Rameau owes some of his current popularity to the passionate advocacy of William Christie: this sumptuous box set presents the critically-acclaimed Rameau recordings he made for Harmonia Mundi in the 1980s and 1990s. Its selection of opéra-ballet, tragédie lyrique and harpsichord pieces on 10 CDs, many unavailable for some time, highlights the multiple facets of Rameau's oeuvre.
Spontini: La Fuga In Maschera (DVD)
Ruth Rosique, Caterina Di Tonno, Alessandra Marianelli, Clemente Paliotti, Filippo Morace, Alessandro Spina & Dionigi D'Ostuni, I Virtuosi Italiani, Corrado Rovaris
Once known for his stately grand operas, Gaspare Spontini posthumously surprised posterity with a light-hearted "commedia per musica" that was found at an antiquarian book dealer in England in 2006 and performed for the first time since 1800 at the Festival Pergolesi e Spontini in Jesi, Italy. With its motoric ensembles, intensifying rhythmic repetitions, and imaginative play with word fragments, La fuga in maschera anticipates Rossini at his best.

I arrived at the desire and determination to be a teacher through a long, winding road of chasing what I thought I wanted and trying new things.
I first decided to pursue teaching in 2010: when I'd already switched my college major from engineering to counseling to nursing and was looking again for the next thing, I asked how else I could use my talents in science and math to help others and landed (somewhat unenthusiastically) on teaching high school biology.
Over the next year, I took three creative writing courses (just for fun, I thought) and a spring/summer internship teaching science to 1st – 8th grade students at a private school prep program. These experiences not only showed me I was skilled at teaching and writing, but that I loved them. I had always known I loved English but had never pursued it as a major or career, thinking there was no money in it. Now, I decided I didn't care and transferred to The Master's College as an English major.
My professors at TMC, especially Grant Horner, exhibited to me the art of great teaching as I'd never seen it before (except in Alene Terzian at COC). From this inspiration and from my ever-deepened love for the field of English came the desire to somehow make a career in this field, but I doubted it was realistically possible.
I think I always knew I wanted to teach, but angling for a full-time professorship seemed impossible, and I was sure teaching high school English would come with a vow of poverty. After graduating in 2013, I worked three different full-time, corporate-ish jobs, searching for ways to apply the skills and talents I'd developed during my time at Master's. This I found, and in the bargain I learned more than I'd ever thought possible from these fields, but I found no place to put down roots and take on a career.
In summer 2016, I took on a job teaching three SAT test-prep classes in a private program. This was my first time teaching English in a classroom setting (as opposed to tutoring) and I found I loved it. I was teaching high school students essay-writing, grammar, and language arts five days a week, and I loved it. I don't even find grammar interesting, but I loved teaching it!
Around this time, I began for the first time to seriously consider teaching high school English. I looked at the pay schedules for the Hart District and talked to a few teachers there (including some who'd taught me when I was in high school), and from these I concluded that I actually could support a family in Santa Clarita (if not lavishly) on a teacher's salary, and that teaching English at a public high school actually would give me scope and freedom to do what I love.
So, here I am: I took plenty long coming round to it, but I love teaching – and, more importantly, I love learning. Perhaps that's why I love teaching in the first place, because I love learning and want to share its wonder with young minds. I realize there will be many unwilling students, long nights, mountains of papers, shoddy assignments, irate parents, and unpaid hours, and maybe even stress-induced health problems, hostility towards my faith, and unsupportive admins.
But I'm ready.
This rather dry word-salad was assembled originally for my application to the teaching credential program at The "One and Only" Master's University — graduating 2018, whoop whoop!

Hello everyone.
Sorry for the delay for the newspaper model but I did not understand what was our obligation in this task.
I thought that our obligation was to collect all the information and then draft a paper with all the partners files.
Again my apologies.
The newspaper goes on PUBLISHER file which is a very easy to edit for both text and photographs. I am sending a file with 4 pages but as agreement you can use only 3 if you want.
I appreciate that each country change the logos of the document by the logos of each country keeping those that are common.

News Release
National Payday Lending Rule Could Protect Wisconsinites from Predatory Loans
EAU CLAIRE – Today, the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) unveiled a proposal for a new national rule on payday and car title lending that has the potential to protect Wisconsinites from predatory high-interest loans. At a press conference in Eau Claire, consumer advocates joined faith and community leaders to highlight the harms of payday lending in Wisconsin. WISPIRG, the interfaith organization JONAH, and Citizen Action also underlined the importance of a strong federal rule to rein in abusive lending practices, and urged the CFPB to prevent loopholes from weakening the rule.
"The CFPB's proposed rule is a big step in the right direction, but we have to do more to ensure this rule truly protects consumers from the harms of predatory high-interest loans," said Peter Skopec, WISPIRG Director. "Fortunately, this is just the starting point, and it's a strong one. Advocates will be working hard over the next few months to help the CFPB understand the importance of closing loopholes in what is otherwise a well-thought out proposal. In doing so, they can shut the debt trap once and for all."
The proposed rule includes a crucial responsible lending provision that requires lenders to determine whether a borrower is likely to be able to pay back a loan. And while the CFPB rule does create this affordability standard, it also allows for some exemptions that will make it harder to meaningfully reduce the harms of predatory lending, including:
- A loophole that allows lenders to determine that their seizure of payments in the past means that a borrower has a true ability to repay going forward. This is exemption is problematic because predatory lenders routinely withdraw repayment funds from borrowers' bank accounts without leaving them with enough money to cover basic living expenses.
- A loophole that exempts six high‐cost payday loans from the ability‐to‐repay requirement altogether. Six unaffordable loans are six too many, as even a single unaffordable loan can create a cascade of financial consequences for borrowers.
High-interest lenders' business model relies on borrowers' inability to repay an initial small-dollar loan and then trapping consumers in a spiral of growing debt, piled-on fees and skyrocketing interest rates. The average Wisconsin payday loan of $320 carries 589 percent annual interest and comes with fees and charges of $866. The CFPB is not authorized to cap loan interest rates outright.
The CFPB's rule will be finalized in approximately 90 days. In the meantime, consumers are encouraged to comment and suggest changes to the final rule that will close loopholes and remove exemptions. Comments can be offered here.
The Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group is a non-profit, non-partisan public interest advocacy organization that stands up to powerful interests whenever they threaten our health and safety, our financial security, or our right to fully participate in our democratic society.

This world, this reality, is very beguiling and enchanting. From a law of attraction point of view, the world (what we perceive) often doesn't match up with what we intend. In these circumstances we have to accept what is, but at the same time KNOW what will be. This is the faith associated with the law of attraction. It is the overcoming of one concerning ignorance.
However, beyond the scope of the mechanics of the law of attraction, there still can remain an ignorance of the true reality of things. The true reality is that this world is temporary, impermanent, and without substance. However we are merely a passersby. We shouldn't be getting caught up in the enchantment of the world.
