By Jacqueline Cioffa
Those who live on in our minds, those ones we can hear eyes closed, are the familiar bonds that can never be broken or diffused. I'm a mutt, Black Irish, German with a pinch of Italian thrown in. I know this because I have always been curious about where I came from, and more specifically the people I came from. Family is heavy sometimes like the two tons of butter my grandmother's father used to make his baked goods.
A simpleton baker, living somewhere in Pennsylvania with five daughters who would go on to replicate his Christmas cookie in too large batches because it was easier than breaking down old traditions and hand me down recipes. The sisters and my grandmother would choose to move upstate to The Finger Lakes, God knows why. Perhaps for the majestic trees, pristine beauty and perhaps it reminded them of home.
They even ended up living on the same street. The house I grew up in belonged to my grandfather and his German baker's wife bride, and the familiar sound of their ghosts lives on the wind that blows through the open windows in summertime, the peonies that still blossom each spring, and the solid frame of oak walls. Sisters, raising families on a nowhere special street where their children, and eventually my brothers played outside making forts and mischief. The basketball hoop still hangs above the garage door. I can hear the bounce of the ball in my sleep sometimes.
My grandmother was a sturdy beauty, solid German stock, tall and the matriarch of my family. I would know her only in my dreams, and perhaps as passersby in heaven when she was coming and I was going. She would die peacefully in her sleep at fifty-three years old rocking the foundation this old house was built on, and almost burying her family whole.
Life's dramedy is not lost on me, that I am swiftly approaching her age. Time, more time is not something our ancient roots can guesstimate or buy.
My grandfather, I loved him well. He was an Irishman through and through, came from County Cork with his family when he was twelve. An immigrant, he must have been so scared looking up at the overpowering Lady of Liberty while dreaming of a better life in America. A man of honor and pride I can guess he'd be so ashamed and disheartened by his adopted country today.
He never finished high school, and yet through hard work and a steel mind he was able to build a successful plumbing business. He was a fixer of things, analytical and a quiet man. He met his beautiful bride in our small town where she kept the books for another plumbing business. Fate, coincidence or God's hand reaching down, I wonder?
They lived in the same house I grew up in, starting the business out of the garage and the chicken coop raising a family and saving their pennies. My grandmother dreamed of owning a camp, a tiny cottage where she could fish and enjoy the majestic beauty of crystal clear water and pink swirled sunset sky. She got her camp, and enjoyed the brief summers with her kids, but time would not be kind cutting her life short. So close to my age when she died, that is a heavy reminder to wear. Her stories I know only secondhand from her daughter, who would be the responsible mother I grew to know and love.
My mom still bakes her molasses cookies every Christmas, gifting them with pride as precious parcels of tradition and love for aunts in aprons. Memories of them busy in the kitchen laughing and baking grandiose portions.
When my grandmother died, my grandfather did not speak for a while. He would end up hospitalized, shock treatments. But that time was not spoken of fifty years ago. He was quieter than before, perhaps less happy-go-lucky Irish.
When he came home, my mother moved her family into his house. Him I knew and loved well. He had silver hair, rimmed glasses, a gold tooth, wore cardigans, and carried a coin purse. He was a quiet man who spent his days tending to the business and evenings reading the Reader's Digest in his recliner, with me squirming in his lap.
I love to say I was 'his favorite'; he let me sit with him while squeezing my hand, and on Saturdays and Sundays we'd visit my cousins, grocery bags full of junk food bought with his Social Security check. He was so proud of that check; he called it his "free money".
Which it wasn't; he'd worked his whole life for that check. On a special occasion, and only on special occasions when there was a family party, he'd dance the Irish gig. I thought he was the coolest person I ever met, and I giggled and giggled trying to keep up. I was eight and he was a giant, a six-foot plus gentle giant who rarely smiled but when he did his grin lit up the walls with glee, and four leaf clovers danced under my feet.
Luck of the Irish, I was lucky to be a Black Irish, German, and Italian mutt. My mom rolls her eyes whenever the ancestry.com commercial comes on. I roll my eyes right back. Where you came from sometimes serves as the roadmap to all that you are, all that you have been and perhaps where you're headed. Sometimes it's nice to have a cheat sheet.
I've been asking my mother for stories since before I can remember, etching them on my brain, and storing them in the mind memory app that cannot be erased. For the hard days when I don't know exactly my place, or forget who I am.
I would have shock treatments just like my favorite Irishman and my dad but that's a different sob story.
My father's father and his grande, crazy Italian roots, fig trees and ancestry added spice and flavor to our family. He was solid stock, the guardian, the jokester and the gatekeeper. There was an overabundance of love in his house even though his family was poorer than dirt and he did not have the easy upbringing, he provided.
Never complaining, always giving, he grew up in the typical Italian home. He had too many sisters and brothers, worked to the bone, the mean strict father, the adorated mother, and of course the Catholic Church. Blind faith. His was a less than happy home even though he was forever smiling. My brother and I brought my dad back to Italy to visit in his father's birthplace. Bursting with pride, you could feel the sense of importance tradition held. The fierce, strong, capable man, my father who rarely cried grew teary-eyed. It was magical. Sometimes you can go back, if only for a brief visit. It's nice to know where you come from.
The house with 37 windows that has lived with the present occupants, my family, and past familiar inhabitants feels both traditional, wrapped up with a red bow and sometimes filled too many ghosts. It has been a shelter from storms that almost broke this family, welcoming a young husband and wife buying the dilapidated property seventy years ago with hard earned dollars and dreams of a better life in America. My grandfather returned to Ireland in his seventies, kissed the Blarney Stone and met an old woman, with tears in her eyes that remembered waving goodbye to him as he set sail for the States. He would survive the arduous, brave journey, and the lighthouse would shine brightly on his American family, his simple house filled with love, tragedy and laughter. There would be many days where the house would be full of family, not strangers and its doors were open. They would remain open throughout my childhood, and adult life for any traveler who needed a respite, and a friendly face.
I would leave that home, the restless teenager anxious to experience the world on my own for many, many years. The gypsy, of mixed and sometimes messy races lived in both palaces, and squalor. I felt equally at home in Hamburg, Milano, Little Italy or an Irish pub talking to strangers.
In all my travels, I never quite found a dwelling, a different house where the ghosts spoke to me as clearly or as kindly as inside an old, inherited familiar home.

Offensive MVP: QB Aaron Rodgers — When he vowed the Packers, sitting at 4-6 and in third place in the division, would "run the table," Rodgers had only four passer ratings north of 100 over his previous 22 games. He was feeling phantom pressure, making poor decisions and missing open receivers while appearing mortal. Over his next nine games, Rodgers tossed 24 touchdowns, including the same number of Hail Marys (1) as interceptions. He regained precision, belief in his teammates and the mantle as the game's most ruthless assassin. At 33, the NFL's most gifted passer will finally have pressure taken off him with an increasingly power-based scheme unlocking the middle of the field. (Mark Busch – firstname.lastname@example.com)

This week I ran into a minor problem that took a surprising amount of time to resolve. Getting a Django template to produce a dict in sorted order. While there were answers out there, none seemed to match the environment that I am using (python 3, Django 1.10). After some experimentation, I finally came up with what I think is a good solution. Feel free to tell me a better one if you know it.
The Problem
The basic problem was that I have a template which walks through a dict and displays it in a particular format. As we all know, python dicts are not ordered, so the display would flip around between invocations of the server. Not a huge deal, but annoying. The template code looked like:
{% for kid, days in kids.items %} <h1>{{ kid }}</h1> ... deleted stuff here ... {% endfor %}
StackOverflow to the rescue!
There was a quite good answer on SO which pointed me in the right direction, but it unfortunately did not work for my situation (again, I suspect python 2 vs 3 differences).
After doing some digging, I figured out that invoking the filter with dict.items()
{% for kid, days in kids.items|sort %}
was not resulting in the parameter as a dict, but rather as a ItemsView which is a 'view' into a dict.
I played some with using
{% for kid, days in kids|sort %}
which did result in a dict getting passed into the filter, but returning the OrderedDict resulted in some strange iterable being returned (the number of items to unpack changed on each iteration, so I suspect that it was flattening my structure somehow, but I did not pursue that).
I decided to embrace the original form and move forward with the ItemsView object that was getting passed in. This turned out to be much shorter and easier code than the original, and so I went with that.
My Solution
Here's where I ended up. The filter looks like this:
from django import template from collections import ItemsView register = template.Library() @register.filter def sort(value): if isinstance(value, ItemsView) or isinstance(value, list): return sorted(value) else: return value
Note that since ItemsView is iterable and I want an iterable result, I can
just used sorted() on it as we did with lists.
To invoke this we call it with:
{% for kid, days in kids.items|sort %}
in the template.
For completeness, here's the answer I posted on that SO question.

Living On Universal Denial (L.O.U.D.) is an indie rock, alternative pop/rock band formed in late 2014. The band is currently based in London, UK and Athens, Greece and took its name out of a statement for those who believe there's no absolute reality or truth, only perceptions and opinions.
Since 2015 L.O.U.D. have appeared in many live stages and mainstream radio stations and have participated in Rock festivals alongside other well known artists.
In 2015 after winning a country-wide competition amongst other unsinged acts, L.O.U.D. played live in one of the biggest Music and Camping festivals in Europe, the River Party Festival alongside names like James Arthur and other well established acts. At the same time the band recorded new demo songs and enhanced its playlist with new original material.
2016 was a very busy year with many live performances and a lot of songwriting. In the highlights of that year is the honour to be chosen as an opening act to one of the greatest bands in the world 'Explosions In The Sky' performing in front of a huge audience! In December 2016 L.O.U.D. took 3rd place amongst 150 other acts, in a music competition organised by the most popular Rock radio station in Greece RED FM 96.3!
The band is currently in the studio writting new material looking to make a release in 2017.
L.O.U.D. current members are: Konstantin K. (Lead Vocals), Simon Kalousis (Drums/Percussion), Jim Kats (Bass) and John Best (Guitars/Keys/Vocals)

Bloody Disgusting
More memes have been exhumed for the upcoming spoof 30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and as always we have them for you right here.
But first, here's an explanation of just what the hell a meme is…
Via Wiki: An Internet meme is a concept that spreads from person to person via the Internet. The concept of the meme was created by Richard Dawkins for his 1976 book The Selfish Gene as an attempt to explain the way information spreads, although his concept involves a much broader category of cultural information.
You good now, bro?
That being said, here is the second set of memes in celebration of the latest spoof from 20th Century Fox, 30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, via Bloody Disgusting. Look for it on DVD and Blu-ray on January 15, 2013. 30 Nights stars Kathryn Flore, Flip Schultz, and French Stewart and was written and directed by Craig Moss. Special features on both the Blu-ray and DVD will include:
* The Watch Trailer
* 10 Years
Scare yourself silly and scream with laughter at this hilarious spoof of Hollywood's hottest horror movies. When a young family who can't seem to stop filming themselves moves into a house that turns out to be haunted, they meet up with a host of creepy characters — including a horny vampire-hunting President who wants to emancipate their dragon-tattooed daughter. With help from the hysterically high-energy "Ghost Brothers," the family sets out to solve the mystery of the haunted house.

The science of nutrition extends beyond a biochemical analysis of food, assimilation, and digestion within the body. Whole foods provide the energy and nutrients you need to maintain health. Required nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water in abundance. Healthy eating isn't hard in fact, but it's a skill that must be learned. The key to nutritional science is to eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products. Further, rehydrate with lots of alkaline, ionized mineral water, and limit your intake of salt, sugar, alcohol, saturated fat, and trans fat in your diet. The high water and fiber content in most fruits and vegetables makes them hard to overeat.
Start your morning by skipping high-sugar, processed cereals, and replace the eggs and some of the cheese in your omelet with vegetables. Swap out some of the meat and cheese in your sandwich with healthier veggie choices such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado. Instead of a high-calorie snack, such as chips and dip, try baby carrots with hummus, or crunching on a fresh apple. Soft drinks including soda and energy drinks are a huge source of calories in many poor diets. One can of soda contains between 10-12 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories, so a few soft drinks can quickly bloat your daily calorie intake. Switching to diet soda isn't the answer either. Instead, try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened iced tea, or carbonated water with a splash of juice. Beyond major requirements within the nutrition department, you may consider University of Bridgeport anthropology major as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Marvel Universe Ant-Man with Flying Ant
Awesome character
Concept of the flying Ant is awesome
Giant Ant poorly executed
Loose wings and legs
The Marvel Universe Ant-Man was one of those box sets I was looking forward to cracking open and checking out. The concept of a giant articulated Flying Ant in 3 3/4 scale was awesome. Unfortunately the giant Ant has many issues with the ball joints that connect the wings and legs. As an adult I can handle loose joints because most of this stuff sits on a shelf and never moves, but if a kid had this toy and started playing, it would just fall apart. It's still a cool set just not for kids.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Mount Marty College.
Businesses of all types have a profound need for talented software specialists. Programmers often start out with a bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering, followed by intensive on-the-job training. Computer science (CS) degree programs may cover diverse programming languages, depending on the application involved. For example, the C# language combines the robustness of C++ with the advanced features of JAVA programming. The C# language is most easily compiled within Visual Studio IDE, a rapid-development platform. If you are writing a web-based application in ASP.NET, you will be required to code in C# or Visual Basic for the backend.
Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank's computing needs. On the other hand, the JAVA language may be used to develop enterprise-level applications and accelerate the design of video games or iOS/Android mobile apps. By way of comparison, some large websites that make use of the Python language include Pinterest and Instagram. In fact, many CS students gain hands-on experience in software development by completing a business internship at a software company while still in college. The median annual wage for computer programmers was $90,530 in May 2017. Beyond major requirements within the computer programming department, you may consider Northeast State Community College course notes as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Navy seize stranded Somalian pirate ship
On the day that Paul and Rachel Chandler were finally released, a British warship scores a success in the battle against piracy in the Indian Ocean
A British warship has seized a stranded pirate ship loaded with ammunition off the coast of Somalia, Nato confirmed on Sunday.
The RFA Fort Victoria, part of Nato's counter piracy mission Operation Ocean Shield, was patrolling the Indian Ocean when a fishing vessel alerted it to a suspicious ship nearby.
The suspect vessel was a whaler, which is a type favoured by pirates, and had an unusually large crew and a skiff onboard.
Officers from the Fort Victoria intecepted ship and found ten people on the deck along with a pirate ladder to board merchant vessels.
The crew claimed to have have been at stranded sea for 45 days, with no food or engine power and had been forced to fashio a makeshift sail made…

Online Shopping in the Philippines is still in its infancy stages. Its lack of popularity is attributed to a lot of factors that most agree on: lack of trust with the seller, mishandling of purchased goods, receiving a different/inferior quality product, and delayed/pricy deliveries. However, we at Bigbenta aim to address that issue by encouraging a shift in the buying habits of the Filipinos. Led and influenced by talented thinkers, programmers, and creative directors all with valuable insights gained by years of experience, BigBenta has experienced significant growth in a short span of time. Realizing that most Filipinos still buy what they need from the various malls and markets around, these thinkers made deals with stores, designed an intuitive/user-friendly interface, ...
In BigBenta Marketplace, the ecommerce one-stop shop, there is a wide variety of services that one can avail of! One can easily find cleaners, computer technicians, tutors, dancers, photographers, accountants, bookkeepers, and the like to help you out with your needs! All of our service providers are accredited and have been verified, so they are very reliable and trustworthy. Our intuitive but precise search engine also makes sure that you're only shown service providers that can service your area, and before hiring them, you can also opt to view their profile to check their rates/history of service and list of past customers. These are all the main features in the site, so please don't hesitate to browse through the service bookings site of BigBenta.com.
Aiming to cater to a wide variety of consumers, BigBenta has also simplified the payment process, and also has made it more flexible by offering multiple payment methods! Aside from the usual credit card/ check payment system, perhaps the most popularly used payment feature that Bigbenta is using right now is "Cash-on- delivery", simply known as COD. Because of the hesitance and suspicion that most Filipinos view online shopping with, they are naturally hesitant to pay beforehand. Staying consistent to our goal to spark a change in Filipino buying habits, we opted to offer the option to play upon proper inspection and receiving of the item! Simply put, our customers appreciate this option because it gives them an option to pay only when ...
Unlike malls and other establishments, the Internet doesn't have a closing time, nor would it be likely to close anytime soon. Unless a catastrophic extinction event should happen, the Internet wouldn't be likely to leave anytime soon. This has led various companies to put up websites that allow people to see what they're offering, or to deliver various news and announcements, at any time of the day! Needless to say, the Internet has definitely paved a way for various services to exist, and one of them is Online Shopping! Bigbenta.com doesn't have a closing time, doesn't need you to dress up and leave the confines of your home, and has a 24/7 dedicated customer support team to address your issues. Through our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts, we can give you announcements/news/offers, at any time of the day! Stay connected shoppers!
Insecurity is one of the external factors that can cause us to experience fear, and fear both hampers the ability of the logical mind to think rationally, and also induces other negative emotions, like anger, jealousy, depression to come in. We at Bigbenta feel that this fear is the reason why most people opt to visit shopping places physically, and so, our solution to counter this problem is simple. With our enhanced security features, our customers will never have to worry about a bad buy, or them being delivered a product of inferior quality! All of our content, whether they be sellers or service providers, have to go through an identification process that weeds out all the suspicious people/businesses. To this end, we always request for the basic permits for potential Stores, and Criminal Records for Service Providers, to achieve this goal. However, it doesn't just end ...
No matter who you are, the chances of you buying a product would increase if it is being offered at a bargain price. This is why retailers started the concept of sales or "Buy 1 Take 1" offers, as they often make more money at a shorter timespan than if they weren't to offer a sale. Of course though, online stores also offer sales to ramp up activity and visitor traffic, and we are not an exception! Luckily for our buyers, our partner stores host sales almost round the clock, in contrast to retail establishments. Though we let the partner stores run their store as they please, they're open to selling their items on sale online, and we certainly are open to that too! So grab your pick of regular sales and discounts right here!

The latest CILT Driver Shortage Crisis Report highlights the short-term need for operators to combat the challenges of driver shortages and using agency drivers.
With delivery operations being increasingly squeezed on price, but needing to provide higher levels of customer service, distributors need technology to manage their operation more efficiently – but at an affordable cost.
TranSend customers benefit from using an integrated routing and ePOD system to ensure that routes, vehicles and driver-time is optimised to get the best performance possible from existing resources.
The same proof of delivery app is used by own drivers and agency drivers to provide a real-time view of the whole delivery operation, provide predictive ETA's, 'jeopardy' alerts and a proactive customer response to any queries or potential delays.
In many cases, this had also reduced the need and cost of additional sub-contracted drivers.
The TranSend proof of delivery app can be used on any Android mobile device, providing real-time information, using GPS tracking, to the Transport, Customer Service and Planning teams. Leveraging the power of smartphone devices, users can download the ePOD app on their own choice of device, for a relatively low cost for equipment.
Hear what our customers say . . .
"We see real business benefit in being able to plan the most effective routes and manage sub-contractors via their own Android devices using the TranSend ePOD app. By eliminating the need for us to supply drivers with handheld devices, TranSend for Android is an ideal, cost-effective solution for our sub-contracted delivery operation."
"We have elevated the value we add to existing and new clients by now providing a 'smarter' customer service. For example, delivery jeopardy alerts, driven from the driver's device, allow us to keep customers informed of any issues as they arise and better meet any specified time-windows."
"Being able to deploy the TranSend app on Standard Android smartphones as well as the Motorola TC55 Android devices, means that the same system can be used by our own drivers and subcontractors alike, which makes it a really flexible and cost-effective solution for our business."

Great place, very smooth and they were dedicated to selling us what we wanted not what they just wanted off their lot. We drove away with a dream vehicle at the best price. They listened to our concerns and took time to get to know us. It's a car dealership so your expectations are just that, hounding you, chasing you down on the lot while you are browsing, and telling you only the good in a vehicle....not the bad. Ray Skillman Southside not only defied those expectations it exceeded what we didn't expect. Nice people and customer service was first, not selling us a car.
This is the only place i will ever buy my car. Joe Dowler goes out of his way to get what needs done. I will never go to another dealership ever.
Had another good experience working with the team at Ray Skillman KIA. would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a new car! The sales, management, finance and service team have all been wonderful and get the work done that best suits the customer.
Ray Skillman Kia & Mitsubishi did a great job on my car. They answered my questions that I had and the work done was a 10.

Sport in Brief
Champion dies at 99
Boxing: Max Schmeling, the former world heavyweight champion, has died aged 99. Schmeling held the title from 1930 to 1932, but is best remembered for his two epic bouts with Joe Louis, stopping the American in 1936 and being knocked out in a 1938 rematch. While Schmeling was seen by some as a front for Nazi Germany, in fact he refused to join the Nazi party.
He inspired modern boxers, most notably Vitali Klitschko, the WBC heavyweight champion, and his brother, Wladimir, who got to know him well when they moved from Ukraine to Germany.

One of the gifts of the Benedictine tradition is the form of prayer called Lectio Divina or Holy Reading. In a world where speed reading is expected, skimming is required and glancing through summaries is de rigueur the monastic tradition is a contradiction.
Lectio diving requires us to slow down and read the text meditatively. There is a technique. The first aspect of the technique is that one is encouraged to follow the words on the page with your finger and either say the words out loud or at least move your lips. "Unless you become like a little child…"
This helps not only to slow you down, but it makes the words more physical. Words, after all, were meant first to be spoken and heard. Only much later were they written down and much, much later did we develop the ability to read silently and quickly.
Here is an explanation of the stages of Lectio Divina from a Carmelite website.
In the 12th century, a Carthusian monk called Guigo, described the stages which he saw as essential to the practice of Lectio Divina. There are various ways of practicing Lectio Divina either individually or in groups but Guigo's description remains fundamental.
He said that the first stage is lectio (reading) where we read the Word of God, slowly and reflectively so that it sinks into us. Any passage of Scripture can be used for this way of prayer but the passage should not be too long.
The second stage is meditatio (reflection) where we think about the text we have chosen and ruminate upon it so that we take from it what God wants to give us.
The third stage is oratio (response) where we leave our thinking aside and simply let our hearts speak to God. This response is inspired by our reflection on the Word of God.
The final stage of Lectio Divina is contemplatio (rest) where we let go not only of our own ideas, plans and meditations but also of our holy words and thoughts. We simply rest in the Word of God. We listen at the deepest level of our being to God who speaks within us with a still small voice. As we listen, we are gradually transformed from within.
Obviously this transformation will have a profound effect on the way we actually live and the way we live is the test of the authenticity of our prayer. We must take what we read in the Word of God into our daily lives.
There are three strands to the Benedictine life: prayer, work and reading. Lectio divina reveals how prayer is reading and reading is prayer.
It is also true in the Benedictine life that work is prayer and prayer is work.
But that discussion is for another day.
