Dearly Departed Willie, aka Mr. Big Boy
Willie at age 3 or 4, circa 1995.
My 18 1/2 year old Willie was helped along to Kitty Heaven yesterday morning. He'd been slowing way down all year and stopped eating his baby food meats two days ago. He was struggling to drink water and to walk. I should've taken him in Wednesday but wanted to give the other furs and myself time to adjust to his imminent absence as he was the elder of this tribe, here before all the remaining. My wonderful vet assured me I was doing the right thing as his kidneys, and many of his other organs, were shutting down and his body was pretty much "eating itself", which explained the near-daily bouts of pre-dawn bilious vomiting.
I got Willie March 31, 1992, while living in Monterey, CA. My current collection of cats began the previous November when I took Gracie in over Thanksgiving, an adult female Tabby who looked remarkably like Sadie. Gracie had been feeding with a group of ferals behind Ralph's market at the Carmel Crossroads and the women that were feeding the colony knew she was not feral but probably dumped. I thought Gracie needed company while I worked all day. Gracie was not overly fond of Willie. At all. But he was the remaining kitten of a litter up for adoption and when I went to see him he was splayed out on a couch with legs and the wingspan of a basketball player. And he had fleas the size of quarters on him. There was no debating. I had come with a carrier and was taking him regardless of what he looked like. I've really only chosen one pet. The rest have all come to me as strays or rescues that were the only remaining option.
Willie on 6/16/10, North Carolina, sunrise on the screened porch.
Longest Tail Ever.
I "fostered" tiny Bianca for Maria Hearst who was Italy-bound in October of 1992. Maria had found Bianca in a grocery store parking lot in Paso Robles, CA, and brought her to a Carmel-by-the-Sea inn where I was working. The resemblance was spooky, and of course the "foster" has continued for 18 years.
Bookends I
Bookends II
Willie and Bianca moved from Monterey to New Mexico with me (along with Gracie and a new stray, Merlin, who showed up in my front yard two months before the move!). We found Milo in NM, and then 9 months later we moved to Pagosa Springs, CO, where we lived for a decade. There we picked up Walter, Leah and Sadie! Good Lord. Clearly my pet accumulation phase was in full swing. I had six cats and one crazy Blue Heeler puppy in the house by January of 1999.
From the California coast to the mountains of Western North Carolina. One of my most treasured paintings that was actually not of me and Willie, but of course, it really was.
Going toward the Light.
Last morning coffee on the geriatric couch.
Hospice watch, 6/17.
One of the last shots of the Geriatric Bookends. I love this one.
Willie was so docile I knew I did not need a carrier. After shoving Walter into a carrier the morning he died so suddenly and regretting it ever since, I was not about to stress Willie, or myself, in that way. There is nothing worse than the trip home from the vet's with an empty carrier.
It was a very peaceful and quiet death and while we are sad, having time to gracefully ease into the goodbyes is truly a blessing. I put the blanket on which he was euthanized in the middle of the living room floor as the vet had suggested with Walter to give the others a knowing of what has happened. None of the remaining furs seem confused or unduly stressed, although Bianca is back to her 3am howling (and 3:45am, and 6am) which she had stopped for a while as she and Willie moved out onto the screened porch couch when it turned warm enough.
I took a ton of photos, of course, and decided to shoot two short videos as well. It occurred to me that now it's just us girls at home - Bianca, Annie, Sadie, Leah and me. As much as I'd love to add a boy kitty or two, I think I'm entering a new phase of my life in which "less is more" when it comes to pet collecting. (And you know, of course, this ensures that a stray boy kitten will come howling through my yard any minute now and I will be forced to "foster" him for the next 18 years.)

We are very sorry to learn of beautiful Willie's passing. He was a gorgeous cat and it looks like his long friendship with Bianca was true and full of love. Hoever long our cats grace us with their companionship, it is just never long enough.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to him with us. The pictures are very precious. We send you all love and rumbly purrs

I had never seen Willie until today but when I saw his picture I had to come and say how sorry I am - he reminded me so much of my first ever cat (called William) and it is 19 years since he died) but it is so much better for your boy now at the rainbow bridge running free and having no illness.
My thoughts are with you and I know you will miss him very much.

What a beautiful boy! I loved your tribute to him and think it is so nice that you had so much time to say good bye.

We are so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Willie. Our mum is crying because of the obviuous love between these two dear kitties and because Willie looks like our angel brother Arthur. Willie looks so frail and tired.We know how hard it is to say goodbye.
Although we grieve his death, so to do we celebrate his wonderful long life. Mum has a special candle she lights when one of us crosses. She will light the candle for Willie.

Xanax (Alprazolam) is used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks. Alprazolam is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Unlike other benzodiazepines which must be taken several times a day, Xanax is a once-daily formula, helping you all day long.

Yep another 1/4 lb cookie. I'm on a mission people. A mission to make as many varieties of quarter pound cookies as I can. Yes, I am Levain Bakery obsessed. One of my close friends Esi says I need an intervention. Is there a rehab place for those obsessed with Levain Bakery cookies? In Malibu or something? As I type this up I am eating one and having a very hard time concentrating.
You know I made the double chocolate Levain Bakery clones here, and have always wanted to factor in a mint element somewhere in there. I don't want a lot of mint because the chocolate in these cookies is high quality and strong--so I don't want that to get lost with a mint extract. Next best thing I thought are those York peppermint patties. They aren't too minty and will offer a small little package of something something in the middle of the giant HOCKEY PUCK sized cookies.
quarter pound double chocolate mint stuffed cookies
recipe by & from vanillasugarblog.com
print recipe
2 and ¾ sticks unsalted butter, grated & cold
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 TB half & half (or cream)
1 ½ ts pure vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
½ cup + 2 TB cocoa powder (not dutch process)
1 TB cinnamon (if you have Vietnamese cinnamon use it)
Oversized ¾ ts sea salt
1 and ½ ts baking powder
½ ts baking soda
2 cups 60 % or higher cocoa dark & milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (a combo of dark & milk)
10 candy mint patties (like York peppermint patties)
Grate your butter into a bowl; keep in freezer until ready to use.
In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, or by hand beat butter and both sugars just until creamy. Don't overbeat. Add in the eggs, vanilla, and half & half and beat just until incorporated.
In another bowl mix the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
When thoroughly mixed, add to batter and stir just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
Keep in mind this dough is very hard to mix, sticky and thick. I just get in there and use my hands to mix, cover bowl, and get back in the fridge as soon as possible. Recipe by dawn Finicane of vanillasugarblog.com We want to keep this dough nice and cold. Chill dough at least an hour before baking.
Divide dough into 10 – 12 lemon size balls. Don't shape as a lemon though, just shape as a nice round ball. Spilt ball in half, insert a peppermint patty, cover with other half and seal all edges. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet—keeping them 3-4 inches apart. Now back into the fridge to chill.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Depending on your oven, these should need anywhere from 12- 15 minutes to cook. It's hard to tell when they are done, but look for:
- slightly crisp edges
- soft in the middle
- cracks in dough ok
- all around semi firm
If you have a convection oven you might need to bake these at 365 for about 12 – 14 minutes.
Don't overbake or they will turn into scones.
Once baked don't try and move the cookies off the pan, they will break apart, let them rest at least an hour before moving them.
Makes 10-12 giant cookies. (mine made 10—I just wanted them huge this time round)

Asking the community to dig in their pockets again and take money out of their household budgets does not seem fair to me and even less fair to those people doing everything right and still struggling financially. Ask questions and educate yourself about the pros and consequences to voting yes on this referendum and then vote your heart.
On February 28th we are being asked to vote in favor of a referendum that will raise our taxes every year starting in 2014 through 2017 by the school district. Possibly more if the school sport program (part 2 of the referendum) passes also. Everywhere I drive in town I see signs supporting this referendum and asking us to vote yes. What I don't see or hear is any opposition to this referendum whether it be signs or news coverage. That concerns me. So with all due respect and in the interest of fairness I am submitting a different point of view for your consideration.
You printed that the school district said when the recession hit they suffered massive cuts. I submit to you so did the rest of us. Layoffs were high, people lost their insurance benefits and people suffered all over because of the economy and some still have not recovered. The state of the economy has hit many families hard and they are struggling. The article said the average homeowner will see their taxes raised $18.96 PER MONTH and it will continue in steps until 2017. What the article did not say is what were the steps, how much will it end up costing the average homeowner per month when all is said and done. It will go up even more if part 2 of the referendum passes to support the sports program. I know that may not seem like much if that is the only increase that has happened over the last four years and will be the last increase over the next four years. The reality is that is not the case. Families are being hit with more tax increases as well as hit with increases in their insurance policies because their companies have changed plans to adapt to the new economy. Personally speaking my family has seen about a $3,000 increase in our insurance plan we have to pay out of pocket and we feel grateful my husband's job gives us benefits. In addition to that and all that we need to adapt to people have seen a decrease in their paychecks. This makes it even harder for people to dig yet again into their pockets and take more money out of their household budgets.
I understand education is important. The welfare of all of our children is important and we want them to succeed. According to Student's First (the organization started by Michelle Rhee...www.studentsfirst.org) Delaware received a C- when compared nationally on an educational level. Yet, the Appo school district tests among the highest in the state and can rival national statistics according to the presentation I was at given by the school superintendent. That says to me despite our deficit we are doing well and our students are just as competetive as any other school. I am also aware that education starts in the home and has a lot to do with the family and the ambition of the student. I believe every child is capable of great things if you believe in them as demonstrated by students like Elizabeth Murray who was homeless and still managed to get accepted into Harvard.
I know there is no easy answer and there are trade offs regardless of how this is voted on. Shame on the government for not making education and our kids more of a priority. THAT has to change and we must pay attention and vote in the right people that will change that and put students first. Asking the community to dig in their pockets again and take money out of their household budgets does not seem fair to me and even less fair to those people doing everything right and still struggling financially.
I would never tell anyone how to vote. I simply would ask this: Question! Ask questions and educate yourself about the pros and consequences to voting yes on this referendum and then vote your heart. Be part of the process and vote. Personally, aside from the issue I feel the process is just as important and part of that process is hearing both sides to any issue. Don't accept one point of view as fact and be told how to vote. Don't assume this is already a done deal and this is how things should be. Question and vote.
I'm sure this is an unpopular stance but I respectfully ask you to consider another point of view. I thank you for your time and consideration.
Kathleen Murray-Lyons

The yuan climbed to a 19-year high as the central bank set a record reference rate amid growing usage of the currency for worldwide trade and investment.
Global yuan payments increased 32.7 percent in March from the previous month and the currency ranked 13th in terms of international payments, Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication said today. Hong Kong Monetary Authority said today that value of trade settled in China's currency by the city's banks rose 45 percent from a year earlier in the first quarter to 830 billion yuan ($135 billion), while Australia's central bank announced plans yesterday to put about 5 percent of its foreign-exchange reserves in China.
"Australia's plan is very positive for the yuan as that suggests increasing demand," said Banny Lam, the Hong Kong- based co-head of research at Agricultural Bank of China International Securities Ltd., a subsidiary of the nation's third-largest bank. "Capital inflows continue to be strong and band widening could happen as soon as this weekend. Yuan usage has been rising globally."
The yuan climbed 0.12 percent to close at 6.1707 per dollar inShanghai, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System. It touched 6.1694 earlier, the strongest level since the government unified the official and market exchange rates at the end of 1993. The currency was at a 0.96 percent premium to the People's Bank of China's reference rate, which was raised by 0.13 percent to 6.2300. The spot rate is allowed to diverge from the daily fixing by a maximum 1 percent.
Trading Band
The yuan's trading band against the dollar is likely to be widened around June, before the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington during the week of July 8-12, Christy Tan, a foreign-exchange strategist in Singapore at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, wrote in a note yesterday. Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. said China won't relax limits on yuan moves for at least four months as capital inflows are keeping the currency near the top of its existing trading range.
Speculation for a change was heightened on April 18 when PBOC Deputy Governor Yi Gangsaid the band would be widened "in the near future."
The last revision, which doubled the band, was announced on April 14, 2012 and the currency traded 0.1 percent weaker than the PBOC fixing on average in the month leading up to the move. The yuan has been at least 0.9 percent stronger than the reference rate every day since February.
Based on the previous adjustment, the central bank probably won't move "until the yuan is trading closer to the midpoint," said Khoon Goh, a senior strategist at ANZ in Singapore.
Offshore Deposits
Hong Kong's total yuan deposits and certificates of deposits denominated in the currency increased by about 30 billion yuan during March, HKMA Chief Executive Norman Chan said today at press briefing in the city. Australia's planned shift in its reserves would lead to investment of as much as A$2.4 billion ($2.5 billion) in yuan and domestic government bonds,Commonwealth Bank of Australia estimated.
Bank of China (Hong Kong) Ltd. and FTSE Group will develop a new index that tracks the performance of offshore yuan- denominated bonds, King Au, chief executive officer of BOCHK Asset Management, said today at a press briefing in Hong Kong. There's growing demand for yuan fixed-income assets among global investors as the currency's volatility remains low, Au said at a press conference today.
One-month implied volatility in the onshore yuan, a measure of exchange-rate swings used to price options, rose seven basis points, or 0.07 percentage point, to 1.36 percent. Only the pegged Hong Kong dollar has a lower reading among 23 emerging- market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
In Hong Kong's offshore market, the yuan rose 0.05 percent to 6.1680 per dollar, earlier touching a record 6.1648, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Twelve-month non- deliverable forwards advanced 0.1 percent to 6.2430, trading at a 1.2 percent discount to the spot rate in Shanghai.

Meanwhile the third single "Out of My Head (feat. Trey Songz)" from Fiasco's third studio album, "LASERS," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 earlier this year, is consistently blazing up the urban radio charts. The catchy club hit broke into the top 10 at urban radio, making it the first of Fiasco's singles to reach that mark. Additionally the companion video for the track has received over 4.6 million views on YouTube.
"LASERS," which marks the Chicago MC's highest selling and chart-ranking debut to date, also includes the RIAA double platinum certified hit single, "The Show Goes On." The companion video for the track recently received an MTV Video Music Awards nomination for "Best Hip Hop Video."
An extraordinarily gifted performer, Lupe heralded the release of "LASERS" with a long-sold-out show at New York City's Webster Hall on Monday, March 7th. Furthermore, he has been touring the country over the past several months including festival performances at the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the KahBang Festival in Bangor, ME, the Bass Nector's Bass Island Festival at Governors Island, NY, and the Sweetlife Festival in Columbia, MD.
Lupe's third full-length collection, "LASERS" has quickly received a bounty of glowing critical acclaim. Rolling Stone praised Fiasco by placing him "in a tradition that runs from Marley to M.I.A.: the soul rebel who refuses to believe righteous struggle has to be a grind," going on to applaud "his athletic, whiplash flow and rich imagination." The Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot praised such "layered, evocative tracks" as "the call-to-activism 'Words I Never Said,' the potent daydream 'All Black Everything,' the shattering 'Beautiful Lasers'" for "(blending) wrenching introspection and an undercurrent of anger with beautifully down-tempo music, perched somewhere between melancholy and despair." Perhaps Entertainment Weekly said it best in its "A-"-graded rave: "Simply put, 'LASERS' beams."

Huskers Receive Top Ranking in Program History
Lincoln – Baseball America recently ranked Nebraska's latest recruiting class No. 11 in the nation, the highest ranking for the Huskers in school history.
The 2013 class is the first full recruiting class under Head Coach Darin Erstad, Associate Head Coach Will Bolt and Recruiting Coordinator/Pitching Coach Ted Silva.
When Erstad, a former World Series champion and three-time Gold Glove winner, took over the team prior to the 2012 season, he was able to draw Silva, the winning pitcher on Cal State Fullerton's 1995 national championship team, away from California to lead the Huskers' recruiting efforts.
"I can't say enough about the work Coach Silva has done for us in recruiting," Erstad said. "His dedication to bringing the top student-athletes to play baseball at Nebraska is tremendous. He spends a lot of time on the road and is always working to make us a better baseball team. I'm very grateful to have him here at Nebraska."
The Huskers were the only Big Ten team on the list, while Florida took the top spot, followed by Texas and South Carolina.
The Huskers' 13-member recruiting class that signed in November 2012 included a talented group of 12 prep players and one junior-college transfer. The Huskers also added a trio of junior-college transfers during the spring.
The class hailed from nine different states, mostly throughout the Midwest, including a group-high four players from Minnesota. Nebraska also signed a pair of standouts from Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, while adding one Husker each from Illinois, Indiana, California and South Dakota.
The class contained nine players that were ranked in the top-1,000 by Perfect Game, including a six top-500 prospects and one top-20 player in Red Wing, Minn., native Ryan Boldt, who is the top position player in Baseball American's top 500 to attend college this fall. 10 of the prep standouts were regarded as top-20 players in their state, including five who are tabbed as a top-five prospects.

Just a cautionary tip when in Vegas.. there are active
pickpockets all over town. I experienced this first-hand
and came within 10 seconds of losing my cash stash last July
while visiting one of those upper end joints on the strip.
I was gambling significantly at a video poker machine, unabashedly slipping C-notes in them. Somebody had been
observing my wagering behavior. I was happily winning at the time and my cautionary tendencies regarding my bankroll
money went south and out the window.
A lady approached me from behind as I played and was all aglow with my run of good luck. She initiated a conversation about nothing and anything . I was concentrating on proper VP strategy and responding to her comments with a lot of "yeah-yeahs". I was fortunate enough to get ahead on the machine again and I cashed out. I had a satchel (I normally never gamble under those conditions) with me that had assorted trip stuff in it. The satchel presence and the relatively high denomination coin-in amount collectively screamed " please rob me!" I placed my wallet in the satchel along with the machine cash-out tickets and proceeded to reconnect with my family and head to our room.
I had developed a sense of cautionary unease as I mulled over the contact with the effusively talkative woman at the VP machine. My senses told me that something about that encounter was skewed, although at the time I didn't know what it was and I wasn't bleeding profusely..yet. My group then proceeded to meander through a very crowded slot machine aisle and some other 6th, 7th, or 8th sense that vaguely detected an impersonal yet succinct encroachment into my personal space kicked in. Instinctively, I immediately dug into the satchel to locate my wallet and it was gone. I then immediately turned around and backtracked about ten feet (a matter of maybe 3 seconds, tops) as my endogenous adrenaline kicked in. I'm not sure that my hair wasn't on fire briefly.
I then spotted my wallet (and life) in a woman's hand who was playing a slot machine. I walked straight at her and demanded it post-haste in a tone that screamed seriousness. I immediately grabbed the wallet and called for security. The woman claimed she picked it up off the floor and so did the man (her accomplice) behind her, both vowing that they were planning to remit it to the security desk. My svelte ass they were.
This team of thieves including the woman who was all goony-googoo at the VP machine were pros. I have to claim part of the blame for the openly careless manner I had displayed with my money. They were held by security and the eye-in-the-sky tapes were to be reviewed.
The good thing is I didn't lose a cent because my peripheral senses kicked in immediately and they didn't have time to bury the evidence ( perhaps they weren't the best of pros?). Take heed folks..these people are everywhere in Vegas. Know where your cash is at all times; take precautions to protect it, don't flaunt it around carelessly as I did, and if you sense something is awry while gambling trust your instincts.
Distractions from one member of a team of thieves is a common MO. Store your gambling session monies in a front pants pocket or in one of those god-awful front-loaded fanny packs (pride be damned). The lesson I learned here after several years of Vegas gambling experiences turned out to be one of the most valuable for me personally.

It would appear that Duke is going to take a few extra strides during his long walk to retail. Gearbox Software announced that Duke Nukem Forever has once again been hit with delays and will now arrive on June 10 internationally and June 14 in North America.
Gearbox had previously promised Duke's return would occur on May 3.
A reason for the delay was not given; however, Gearbox took a moment to release a video poking fun at itself for adding to the Duke delay drama.
BOOM video 8560
Duke Nukem Forever first began its development odyssey in April 1997, when the now dismantled developer 3D Realms announced the title's existence. A winding--nearly fourteen year long--road filled with leaks, lawsuits, and ladies later and Duke Nukem Forever has still eluded release.
Since we've played the game a number of times recently and have heard the fine folks at Gearbox pound their chest about its epic arrival on a number of occasions, we're going to assume this most recent delay is purely a business decision and not part of some elaborate gag to break the hearts of the waiting Shacknews community.

"Strong factions internally" at id Software fancy returning the Quake series to its roots and the Lovecraftian-y stylings of the original Quake, id's technical wizard John Carmack has told Eurogamer. However, he makes quite clear, "Nothing is scheduled here, people are not building this."
"We went from the Quake II and the Quake 4 Strogg universe. We are at least tossing around the possibilities of going back to the bizarre, mixed up Cthulhu-ish Quake 1 world and rebooting that direction," Carmack said. "We think that would be a more interesting direction than doing more Strogg stuff after Quake 4."
"We certainly have strong factions internally that want to go do this," he explained. "But we could do something pretty grand like that, that still tweaks the memory right in all of those ways, but is actually cohesive and plays with all of the strengths of the level we're at right now."
The first Quake was a Doom-y shooter set in a moody fantasy dimension with Lovecraftian references, populated by hordes of demons. However, it also had plenty of industrial complexes, soldiers, and military weaponry. The mix-up stemmed from shifting focus during development; originally Quake was to star a Thor-like character with a mighty hammer, and feature RPG elements.
"I looked at the original Quake as this random thing, because we really didn't have our act together very well," Carmack said. "But because it was so seminal about the 3D world and the internet gaming, it's imprinted on so many people. It made such an impact in so many ways. Memory cuts us a lot of slack."
1997's Quake II had a whole new setting, pitting players against the techno-organic Strogg. Quake 4 continued the Strogg story in 2005, after 1999's Quake III: Arena largely did away single-player to focus on multiplayer.
id CEO Todd Hollenshead added, "People shouldn't worry that we're ever going to orphan or abandon Quake. We are huge fans of the game internally."
id's next game will be Rage, which is headed to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 4. Beyond that, id has been teasing Doom 4 but not yet revealed it.
