New York Burros
pullmeafredo (14th season) 103-59 (World Series Champs) 22.5M (+16.9M Potential Arbitration)
Potential Key Departure: P Rich Lloyd- (3-5 3.72 38SO) solid middle reliever for the Burros in S13
STARS: the headed monster SP Ryan Perry, SP Pedro Seguignol, SP Shayne Nagy.
Summary: Still the Elite program in the NL. Without any key FA departure the World Champions will return the same team which swept through the playoffs. Seguignol proved his value winning the CY Young and anchors the strongest rotation in the League. Cl Kevin Burke hopes to return to form after a down season where he blew 8 saves. Offensively the team could turn to untested rookie SS Benito Escobar to compete for the 3B job. They still need a solid everyday backstop to handle the pitching. If they can land a premier guy watch out.
Baltimore Orioles jeanpaul22 (1st Season) 67-95(3rd) 22.2M (8.2M ARB)
Potential Key Departure:
1B Charles Coles (R)- arguable the best hitter on the team, will want to be paid like that. SS Vinny Hernandez- his biggest challenge is staying healthy. SP Lucas Neagle (R) - long in the tooth, but still has the skill to round out a rotation. Cl Hong-Jin Xaio- coming off a career year as a closer
STARS: RF Scott Butler- Closest thing to an offensive threat, SP David Dominguez- A mixed bag but could anchor a weak rotation.
Summary: The offense needs a bon-a-fide hitter to build around. Butler is a solid everyday guy, but not a superstar. C Tori Hanson has been a mixed bag behind the dish and has performed when given the chance. Lack of consistent ownership has taken a toll on this franchise. On a plus CF Brad Finnessey can field his position well and add offense and they have a few young pitchers on a fast track through the minors. Look for this team to make noise in a few seasons if they keep the minors intact.
Pittsburgh Steelmakers Charlie22098 (7th Season) 60-102 (4th) 31.9M (16.4M ARB).
Potential Key Departure: 1B Clarence Thompson (S)- how much value are 30+HR and 100rbi? He could still play the OF if needed. LF Hal Taylor- Long Time all-star and future HOF'er how much left is the question. 3B Julian Bonilla downside of his career, but still has a few tools to offer a team. C Kevin Martin- has the bat to play every day, but his def might limit teams who will look at him. SP Segui, Hamill, and Fonville have the pitching knack, but all are grizzled vets who should not all return. RP Antonio Lo has shown he is no longer able to get by just on his fastball, but might still make a cheap stopgap.
STARS: 2B Jung Miyakazi is coming off a down year, CF Don Perry- contract is as bloated as he has become.
Summary: A debacle in the preseason last season saw a once proud franchise reduced to ashes in 1 season. Most of the young talent on the Ml roster is gone leaving a roster of over the hill stars. This should prove a challenge for Charlie on his return to Ryan. As the only other team to win the NL East, he has his work cut out for him in s14.
Atlanta Braves warrior0510 (13th season) 67-95 (2nd) 55.3M (25.5M ARB)
Potential Key Departure: SP Aaron Shiell- never developed into the star he was projected to be, but still could be useful RF Erubiel Lecuona- still has the plate presence to make an impact, although more than 1 or 2 year deal might be pushing it.
STARS: SS Eugene Walker- what this team is built around SP Jaret Dunn- Anchor of the rotation
Summary: Atlanta has a few up-and-comers to look for in the lineup 2B Gabby Sanford, RF Wes Cox, CF Dickie Tartabull. All should make an impact next season. .
Cincinnati Yakima Dwimm75 (1st season) 87-75 (3rd) 70.7M (15.7 ARB).
Potential Key Departure: 1B Jesus De La Vega (L)- Long time 1st sacker will take his wares elsewhere without a pay cut.
STARS: C Brent Sheets, 2B Carlos Hernandez , SP Clarence Patrick (ML)
Summary: New Ownership on one of the oldest teams in the league. Patrick is a bona-fide ace and with a hitting core of Brent Sheets and Hernandez the lineup could be formable. They still need to fill in the outfield with decent bats and the rotation is starting to show its cracks. This franchise should still be in the thick of things in the tightest race in the NL.
(.233), P Charlie Patterson(1-0 4.88), 1B Sean Fryman(17hr 63rbi), P Torey Samuel (5-10 5.82)
Milwaukee Blue Stockings jweiland (7th season) 87-75 (2nd WILD CARD) 38.9M (14.7M ARB) Key Adds: C Kenneth Beirne (potentially blind)SS Tyler O'Neill(rule 5) Cl Matt O'Malley (36sv 4.95) Key
Potential Key Departure:
STARS: 3B Matt Matthews, LF Harvey Carson, SP Everett Ritz, Sp Hideo Tamura
Summary: One of the best young rotation in the division, if not the whole National League. They still have a few holes in the lineup, but the Blue Stockings are very competitive and could be the team to beat with a few additions
Columbus Horseshoes bengal814 (1st season) 89-73 (1st). 69.1M (+22.2M ARB).
Potential Key Departure: RP Robert Sefcik- Career year but still at best a guy to round out a bullpen.
STARS: 1B Bo Glanville, LF Timothy Sutton, RF William Stewart
Summary: The biggest turn around in franchise history last season. They still have most of the weapons to compete again this season. William Stewart is asking for a bundle in Arbitration, If we can't be handed a long term deal for a lot less. He might force Columbus's hand. Over 11M for an outfielder who has yet to produce 100 rbi in a season is very steep. The pitching staff and bullpen are veterans with one of the most dominant closers in the game slamming the door shut.
Philadelphia Balboas booshie73 (13th season) 77-85 (4th) 45.5M (+15M ARB)
Potential Key Departure: SS Arthur Dunn- Defensive SS, LF Juan Guerrero- best days are behind him, but still could be a cheap filler, 1B Eugene Pryce- has spend his career with the franchise, loyalty might get him another season.
STARS: ROY SP Adam Parrish RF Valerio Guillen
Summary: Nice young pitching prospects fill out an untested rotation. SP Parrish proved to be the real deal as he pitched his way into the Rookie of the year. Still the franchise will need some offensive help driving in runs. RF Guillen is surrounded by a meager supporting cast and without a few upgrades this team might spend a second season in the cellar of the North.

Is it still a blog if you don't ummmm actually blog?
Gus is on the second week of restriction for bad behaviour. He spends a lot of energy talking about how "stupid and dumb his life/restriction/house/family is". This ironically leads to an extension of his restriction because once he starts this diatribe his mood darkens and he ends up dragging everyone down with him. Hopefully, he'll never have to understand the concept of parole.
Mom and Dad are here!! They are at Dearbhla's right now. We should see them by the weekend!!
The basement smells like chick poo. The newest babies are living in my carefully lined, unplumbed sink down there. They need to be moved outside. Ginny loves them. Oh HOW Ginny loves them!

Last week Greg and I took a last minute vacay to South Florida! One of Greg's best friends from high school (they have known each other since they were six)Tyler, graduated from Georgia Tech and invited us to join him and his girlfriend, along with another couple(all Harrison High Class of 2006 alums btw) for a week at his Dad's place down in Ft. Lauderdale. We had such a blast! I can't remember the last time I had that much fun with such great people. We got to do a bunch of super fun things like lay and play on the beach, have nightly cookouts, eat Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast, go dancing at Lulu's and the Elbow Room, visit the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida and spend a day in South Beach, Miami! I seriously loved every minute of it. Getting to spend some quality time with Greg was great. And getting to know some of his high school friends was a blast, they were just so much fun! Here a few pics I snapped from our day in South Beach. Enjoy!

The majority of patients presenting with an acute coronary syndrome or sudden cardiac death are the direct consequence of unrecognized ischemic heart disease. Early diagnosis of patients with ischemic heart disease will result in timely treatment (revascularization and medical therapy) known to translate in fewer fatalities and fewer patients developing irreparable cardiac damage leading to decreased quality of life and increased health care costs. The goal of EARLY-SYNERGY is to early identify the majority of people at risk even before they suffer a heart infarct of suddenly die. We follow a two-step strategy: in the first step, participants undergo a CT-scan to measure the calcification in the coronary arteries. If there is no or little calcification, then the chance of getting a heart infarct or suddenly die is very small and further exams are unnecessary. This part of the research is already taking part in the ROBINSCA and IMALife studies. People with moderate to high calcification in the coronary arteries have a 10x increased risk to develop a heart infarct of suddenly die. In EARLY-SYNERGY, these people are further examined with a MRI-scan to determine if there is a severe narrowing of the coronary arteries or another heart disease. By establishing the diagnose and treating as early as possible, we expect that the large part of the heart infarcts and sudden cardiac deaths can be prevented.
For more information on this project, please click this link to the Hartstichting website.
If EARLY-SYNERGY provide us with successful results, we will implement this project to a screening program for the Dutch population such as current screening programs for breast and colon cancer.
This project currently has no more photos.

Firstly, thank you guys for adding the TImage feature, very cool.
When adding image to toolbar, cannot get actions area to function:
Is it possible to link the image to a external site or internal page?
Right now, no, it's only a static component. But we'll add actions to it (for instance, if someone clicks on it).
No problem, wanted to see if I were missing something.
Adding action later would be great.

The truth is in the context. My context involves packing lunches, pushing vegetables, making beds, washing clothes, lots of singing and dancing, and pretending to hunt Bison. This blog is where I report my truth ... often in verse, seldom in rhyme, and never meant to be vocalized.

This project has been on my "to do" list for well over a year. I was inspired by a small wallhanging at my local quilt shop, The Quilted Owl. A customer gifted the store owner with a small, postage stamp type quilt with an embroidered owl in the center. I wanted to make my own version with a bluework embroidered eagle and in a red, white and blue fabric colorway. The Quilt Like an Eagle QAL was the perfect excuse to finally get this project started!
Using a small scrap of Kona Snow, I traced the eagle using a water-soluble quilt marking pencil. I started embroidering with two strands of DMC floss (blue, although it looks much darker in the picture), but after finishing the first wing I wasn't happy with the result. I switched to one strand of floss for part of the head and was much happier. Instead of ripping out the earlier stitches, I'm just going to start over. This time I'll get a decent-sized piece of fabric so I can use an embroidery hoop!
Red, white and blue scraps are no problem. These are left-overs from a Minick and Simpson project.
When finished, the quilt will measure approximately 12 inches x 12 inches.
Just the little bit of work I did on this project last night really helped me focus my thoughts on the big eagle quilt project that will be unfolding over the next year. I'm really tickled to have this amuse bouche to get me ready for the fun to come!

Ten SLHS students attend Key Leader weekend
Thanks to the generosity and support of the Storm Lake Kiwanis Clubs, 10 Storm Lake High School Key Club members attended the Key Leader weekend at the Sunstream Retreat Center in Ogden. In addition, Storm Lake could boast about bringing four of the 10 student facilitators needed for the event. Key Leader is a weekend experiential leadership program for today's young leaders. This life-changing event focuses on service leadership as the first, most meaningful leadership-development experience. A Key Leader will learn the most important lesson of leadership—it comes from helping others succeed.
Large and small group workshops, discussions and team-building activities took place over the course of the weekend. Students have opportunities to learn leadership skills that will help them to change their schools, communities, and world for the better. While exploring leadership in a whole new way, participants made amazing new friends and had experiences they will never forget including the challenge ropes course. Since April 2005 Key Leader has served more than 28,000 students at 569 Key Leader events in 40 U.S. states, 7 Canadian provinces, Malaysia, Brazil, Cayman Islands, El Salvador and Singapore.
Pictured top, student facilitators were, from left, Leandro Marin, Moises Delacruz, Carlos Ayala, and Christopher Acebedo. Picture of group, front to back, left to right, Caitlyn Hesselman, SLHS Key Club Advisor Tammy Nepple, Mai Xiong, Vanessa Vrieze, Moises Delacruz, Carlos Ayala, Christian Clark, Tori McLean, chaperone Priscilla Robinson, Carlos Ayala, Christopher Acebedo, Aaron Villarreal, and Leandro Marin.

I generally don't get quite enough sleep. I often don't get home from work until almost 9, sometimes later, and it takes me at least a few hours just to get chores done. I catch up on sleep on the weekend.
But last week, I had to be out of the house unusually early on Friday and Saturday. By Saturday night I was bushed, and I fell asleep several times on the couch while watching TV. I looked forward to Sunday, when I could finally sleep in.
I woke up Sunday in the dark, and the clock ready 5:10. I thought, "5:10 in the morning, not so bad, I can sleep a few more hours." Then I remembered that I had gotten up around 9 a.m. to feed the cats, so it couldn't possibly be 5:10 a.m. I checked the clock and saw that it was indeed 5:10 p.m., the latest I've ever slept. I got up to start my day with the newspaper and coffee.
I did my usual Sunday errands and added a few more trips because I was WIDE AWAKE. I was WIDE AWAKE at 2 a.m. and realized that I'd never get to sleep in time to wake at a decent hour for work, so I stayed up. I got to work about three hours earlier than I usually do, and boy did I get a great parking space. I'm still awake now about 20 hours later. Thanks to lots of strong coffee, I should be able to last until this evening. And I know I will sleep tonight.
I keep forgetting I'm not 20 years old anymore. This body doesn't recover from lack of sleep like it used to, even though I'm 90 pounds lighter than I was two years ago. But I've never been good at moderation. I mean, that's why I needed the weight-loss surgery.
See you tomorrow.

Survey: Bank employees, not directors, getting raises
Eighty-nine percent of banks are increasing salaries this year, according to a new survey, the Nashville Business Journal reports.
The Bank Director's 2012 Compensation Survey found 67 percent of bank executives and board members expect director pay to stay the same. Bank mergers and acquisitions will increase as monetary policies increase pressure on the industry.

Do not eat or drink anything here. Horrible coffee shop, horrible business, and most of all horrible owners! I would know, I worked here for a year! Thankfully I had a baby and could escape this place. And definitely have no intentions of returning! The owner is verbally and emotionally abusive to all the employees. They all hate her but have to be kind and happy to her face to save themselves from her wrath or getting their hours cut. The owner is very manipulative and wants everyone to feel sorry for her. I was forced on more than one occasion to serve food that I knew did not meet the standard of food safe. The dishes are washed and sanitized in bleach water because the dish sanitizer has been broken for over a year....but thank god they got a slushy machine maker instead of a new sanitizer (sarcasm). Cheques have bounced for employees, including me, on numerous occasions which is unacceptable. Also, too many times, we would get paid late---sometimes days later! It took the owner 9 weeks to get me my ROE!!! And there was still incorrect information on it! CRA now has to contact her to get MORE information cause there wasn't enough on it…the list goes on and on. And can you believe it---today the power was cut off because she didn't pay her power bill! So I wouldn't touch anything they are selling as it will now all be sitting in coolers and fridges that have no power to them…which is unlikely to stop her from still trying to sell them anyways (she's done it before). On one occasion she told me to climb up a 12 ft ladder to get something down for her…this was when I was 6 MONTHS PREGNANT!! These are just a FEW examples of how awful this place is. I could honestly go on and on. HORRIBLY run business. The owners should admit to themselves they made a mistake buying this business and give it up! Honestly. I will never be returning to this place, not even as a customer.

Published at Friday, August 25th 2017. by Aloin Chauvin in Kitchen.
A kitchen, whether it's tiny, large, traditional, modern, ornate or simple must always fulfill one condition: it has to be functional. Without this detail it would simply be a room full of items that can't be used to their full capacity, a room where function and practicality are wasted. Of route, we can't say that about any of the Snaidero kitchens.
This particular model is called Skyline and it's easy to see why it got this name. The best way to report it is as a kitchen where purpose meets style and where simplicity is at its best. The Skyline kitchen features beautifully shaped worktops with curved lines and fluid forms as well as stylish glass shelves that complement the whole design in a very transparent and yet very efficient manner.
Despite its limited dimensions, the Skyline kitchen doesn't neglect the most important detail: storage. The storage spaces are perfectly organized in sequence to allow the user to have everything at hand. The wide curves and the continuous and fluid design create this compact creation a perfect option for a modern home.
In addition to all these great functional details, you'll be happy to know that the Skyline 2.0 is available in more than 100 colors and finishes so it can be adapted to basically any kind of interior, design and preference. Even when they are decorative in nature and put up for appearance and style, they can still be very useful for such storage purposes.
Stored in a compact manner they can easily serve the purpose of the owner of storing multiple items without using much of the kitchen spaces. Sometimes kitchen canisters are available in business deals like sugar, tea or coffee or even with biscuit jars. Previously buying such deals the user should build sure that the canister or the hand painted pottery articles offered by the dealer is really of good quality making the purchase of the main product worthwhile.
A kitchen remodel should reflect the home's style. Be sure to enlist a professional home designer when attempting to go "modern" in a traditional or historic home. Homeowners could successfully append to the home's value when there is an excellent flow, are comfortable, functional, and maximize the available space in a stylish manner.

This is a simple flower from a Mock Orange shrub – Phiadelphus aurea. This shrub is mainly grown for its bright golden/green leaves yet I find that the wonderful perfume from the flowers fills the garden on most days. In fact, I find it has a better scent than the more popular and supposedly better varieties.
Tag Archives: shrub
This is the absolutely gorgeous yellow flowering current, Ribes odoratum. Whilst the small flowers are certainly pretty enough as they clothe this large shrub it is their wonderful scent that is a winner. Some gardening sites consider the scent to be clove-like but to me it more of a mix of honeysuckle and lily, with some hyacinth thrown in for good measure. In my garden it is planted opposite my back door so I catch the sweet scent whenever I walk out of the house, making a real lift on a dull day.
This lovely Lacecap Hydrangea, Hydrangea macrophylla normalis, is currently flowering outside our dining room window. The flowers are a gentle pink with the centre tinged blue. I'd love to be able to grow really striking blue hydrangeas but since our soil is alkaline we must settle for pink, but I'm more than happy with this one.

Dr. Horrible!!
July 18, 2008 at 10:13 am Leave a comment
Check out his latest creation, "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog". It's fantastic! Nathan Fillion is the PERFECT super hero who isn't and Neil Patrick Harris' evil genius/good guy (?) is poetic! The songs are catchy and the singing is great. The next (and last) installment comes out tomorrow…I can't wait!
On a side note, I'd just like to point out that the lead woman in this, Felicia Day, was one of the "potential" slayers in season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also, Nathan Fillion was ALSO in season 7 of Buffy, and played an evil pastor, intent on KILLING OFF all of the potential slayers…so in Buffy, Fillion and Day were mortal enemies, and in Dr. Horrible, they're DATING! I love Joss Whedon. Did I mention that??
A few of my favorite quotes:
"Oh goodness…look at my wrist I gotta go…" (Billy, aka Dr. Horrible)
"Have I seen you at the gym? Ha…the gym. I don't work out. I'm just naturally like this…" (Capt. Hammer)
"…cause she's with the Hammer, and THESE (showing his fists) are not the hammer…*walks off stage* *walks back ON stage*…the hammer is my penis…" (Capt. Hammer)

text: The first card that I'm sharing today was created with a Sizzix "stamp and emboss" set that I recently purchased. I used Stampin' Up! markers to ink the stamp and then used the coordinating embossing folder to emboss the stamped image. Sponging Soft Suede ink on the embossed image added definition and depth. Other Stampin' Up! products used to create this card include Itty Bitty Shapes punches (small heart), pearl jewels, "Short & Sweet" stamp set, oval punches, and dotted grosgrain ribbon. For the second card, I used the Sizzix "Chandelier" stamps and coordinating Framelits dies. It was nice to be able to try Framelits dies because Stampin' Up! will be offering some of them early next year, and I know now that they are going to be AWESOME! My little card features a sentiment from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set, Wisteria Wonder card stock, designer button, linen thread, and a punched eyelet border.

If you see characters wear a stylish fur, it usually means they either have enough wealth to buy it (either on a whim or saving up for one), or they have found other ways to get one, because in many cultures these are status symbols.Even when those not in the upper classes wear furs this way, it still indicates that the aggregate wealth of a society is higher than normal.In Europe, certain furs were so prized that for a time there were [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumptuary_law Sumptuary Laws]] about [[DressCode who could wear what kind of fur]]. Ermine was among the most prized, used to trim and line [[RequisiteRoyalRegalia royal robes]] and [[PimpedOutCape capes]] (hence the reason the trope ErmineCapeEffect is named so). While the poor also wore furs, it was for utility instead of decoration, so their clothes were made with common pelts like sheepskin and rabbit, and weren't stylized and tailored.So this trope is also as old in fiction, but visual media like {{film}} is where it's clearly evident. It was used extensively in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood just for the visual splendor it brought. At one point furs were so common they didn't provide characterization the way they do today under the HollywoodDressCode. The exceptions were very specific outfits, like the [[PimpDuds classic pimp coat]]. What fur was worn was generally chosen one of two ways. The first was reflecting whatever ConspicuousConsumption style trends were popular for a certain demographic. The second was [[CostumePorn whatever the designer felt like]].Also, fur can be a dual purpose luxury. When worn in cold weather, it's a utility luxury (as in the picture), and when worn otherwise, it's a sybaritic luxury.These days furs are less common in media and now has competition from FurAndLoathing, where a woman in a fur coat is either the RichBitch, TheVamp or downright evil, although some savvy costumers can do both if the character is wearing real fur (and expect some commentary on either trope). Other characters who wear fur tend to do it for a single episode or two.{{Fashion Magazine}}s, in at least one issue in (usually) an Autumn month, will have a spread about fur fashion. Any ads for furs would count as UpMarketing, as would ads for other luxury products that also feature models wearing fur.'''Now since this is about use of fur to pretty up a scene, it's not just ''any'' instance of wearing fur.''' Even if a fur is worn for warmth, it also has to be an excuse to have a nice fur in the scene to count for this trope. Thus an Inuit parka usually doesn't count. It would have to be a designer parka (even if made in Inuit style).A SubTrope of GarnishingTheStory.A SuperTrope to:* FurBikini* GoingFurASwim* ItsFakeFurItsFine* LiveMinkCoat* NakedInMinkA SisterTrope to: EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry, FluffyFashionFeathers, GoldMakesEverythingShiny (all involve materials to show off wealth in a glamorous way), PeltsOfTheBarbarian (furs and hides that are rough instead of luxurious), HellBentForLeatherCompare AnIceSuit, SexyCoatFlashing, HappyHolidaysDress, SexySantaDress (all of which have many examples with fur).Contrast FurAndLoathing, CruellaToAnimals.----!!Examples:[[index]]* PrettyInMink/{{Advertising}}* PrettyInMink/AnimeAndManga* PrettyInMink/ComicBooks* PrettyInMink/FanWorks* [[PrettyInMink/AnimatedFilms Films - Animated]]* [[PrettyInMink/LiveActionFilms Films - Live Action]]* {{PrettyInMink/Literature}}* PrettyInMink/LiveActionTV* PrettyInMink/{{Magazines}}* PrettyInMink/{{Music}}* PrettyInMink/VideoGames* PrettyInMink/WebComics* PrettyInMink/WesternAnimation* PrettyInMink/RealLife[[/index]][[foldercontrol]][[folder:Comic Strips]]* In ''ComicStrip/ThePerryBibleFellowship'' a redheaded lady goes to point out a guy at a PoliceLineup, and she wanted to look her best, as she wears a gray fur wrap when she arrives.* Muffy Ainsworth in the newspaper ''ComicStrip/SpiderMan'' wears a white fur jacket in her flashback to when Spider-Man saved her from an (apparent) vampire who kidnaped and [[HypnotizeThePrincess hypnotized her]].[[/folder]][[folder:Pro Wrestling]]* Wrestling/AliciaFox often wears outfits with fur trim.* Wrestling/JohnMorrison and Wrestling/{{Melina}}, aka MNM, were known for wearing what Wrestling/JimRoss described as roadkill and were very very pretty, if you could overlook the fake tans.* Wrestling/TrishStratus sometimes liked to wear fur jackets, and [[http://dailywrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Trish-Stratus-gifs-001.gif fur hats]] when she walks to the ring.[[/folder]][[folder:Tabletop Games]]* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':** Some magic items require fur as their material, such as the "Cloak of Lordliness", which requires "the finest ermine", sewed with [[SilverHasMysticPowers silver thread]], when made for a human princes or princess to wear.** In the "Advanced 2nd Edition" monster manual, the picture for vampire showed [[VampiresAreRich a wealthy noble lady]] wearing a SimpleYetOpulent dress and [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vampiress_fur_cape_4015.jpg a fur-lined cape]] (that also had a HighCollarOfDoom).** That same manual also had the picture for Drow showing a warrior lady, who is high born given her [[CoolCrown spider-shaped tiara]] (their patron goddess is a spider god).

Pete Seeger's dead.
He lived a great life, dying at the ripe age of 94. He committed the greatest "sin" an American ever could - being a Communist during the Cold War - and nevertheless founded folk rock and dedicated it to the antiwar movement. He was a strongly ethical person, dedicated to democracy in its most practical sense - every concert he played was one big singalong, and he fought inequality everywhere he saw it - and he finally got the recognition he deserved.
Chadron's got a relatively huge folk scene, given the population, and pretty much nothing that gets played in that would have been possible without Pete Seeger's life and work. With Pete Seeger, there's no Bob Dylan; no Kingston Trio; no Peter, Paul and Mary.
So today, I'll be listening to this song:
And this song:
And this song:
And especially this song that I was singing with some grandmothers as we marched to Student Center last week:
Rest in peace, Pete Seeger.

Spring Sessions | Open Call for Participation
A learning program for artists and cultural practitioners
Dates: 1 March – 13 June, 2015
Location: The Studio, Amman, Jordan
Organized by: Noura Al Khasawneh and Toleen Touq
Deadline for applications: 15 February 2015
The Spring Sessions is an intensive experiential pedagogical program in Amman—a communal learning experience and arts residency program bringing creative practitioners together to create and share a body of cultural knowledge.
The program seeks to facilitate dialogue between emerging and more-established cultural practitioners based in Amman or abroad. It aims to introduce participants to the working skills necessary to their arts practice, while simultaneously encouraging them to question existing artistic and cultural paradigms by experimenting outside of traditional modes.
The 2015 program is inspired by a desire to thoughtfully engage with contemporary Amman, allowing its intricacies and situations to inform our imaginations and cultural practice. The invited artists—individuals and collectives alike—will conduct workshops addressing a broad range of issues, from urbanization and public space to migration and collective memory. The participants, either collaboratively or individually, will work to research and creatively realize ideas arising from these sessions.
The workshops will be complemented by: a process of continuous mentoring by the organizers and invited guests helping participants situate their practice contextually and sustain it in the long run; a comprehensive workshop on writing asking participants to synthesize the results of the program sessions and develop their practical expressive skills; as well as a series of film screenings related to and variously reflecting upon the workshop sessions. In addition to its curated content, the program will nonetheless maintain enough flexibility to allow for spontaneous explorations or activities as suggested by the group.
- Åbäke (UK) with Jochen Dehn (Germany);
- Ahmet Ögüt (Turkey), The Silent University;
- Asuncion Molinos-Gordo (Spain);
- Failed Architecture (The Netherlands);
- Michael Rakowitz (US);
- Priscila Gonzaga (Brazil);
- Yaser Al Amad (Jordan).
More information on these workshops will be released shortly.
Further workshops and seminars are to be confirmed.
The Spring Sessions will take place from 1 March, 2015 to 13 June, 2015.
Participants will meet 3 to 4 times per week, often on the weekends, with a one-week break every month.
The program consists of a combination of workshops, talks, mentoring sessions, site explorations, film screenings and dinners. Participants are expected to develop a personal project during the program, to be finalized for the open day of the program on 13 June, 2015.
Workshop sessions:
1 -7 March: Induction Week
8 -14 March: Failed Architecture
15 March – 4 April: Asun Molinos-Gordo
12 – 24 April: Åbäke
27 April – 3 May: Ahmet Ögüt/The Silent University
17 – 31 May: Michael Rakowitz
31 May – 12 June: Production of personal projects
13 June: Open Day
Regular sessions throughout the program:
- Mentoring sessions with Noura Al Khasawneh, Raed Ibrahim and Toleen Touq
- Writing workshop with Yaser Al Amad
Participants are expected to partake in all sessions.
The detailed program, including final dates and times, will be communicated to participants during induction week.
Interested applicants should see this program as a chance to develop their practice and creative process. The program aims to create an environment where organizers, participants and resident artists work in a collective effort to engage in our immediate environments. Resident artists have been invited based on their collaborative and process-based methods of working. We are therefore looking for participants who are interested in seeking new tools for their creative development, individually and in collaboration with others. We are further looking for participants who look for inspiration in the everyday, and want to be part of an environment of debate and critique. We encourage applications from artists or cultural practitioners in any discipline. The
Spring Sessions will be accepting a maximum of 15 participants. A registration fee of 70 JOD per month will be used towards covering the cost of meals, production for individual projects and other administrative costs related to the organization of the program.

I've created the DB and stored it under assets.
I can open and read from it and store the records from a table in the DB to an array and then put the records into an arraycollection.
via the list dataprovider I then can assign the records to the list and they show up at runtime in the list.
I then presumed that the list changehandler event would allow me to assign the selecteditem in the list to a label control. Unfortunately the label control just gets 'object object' displayed when a list item is selected - almost a sif the list were empty.
I cannot work out how to paste the code into this forum message but any advice on either of these problems would be greatly appreciated.

LINCOLNWOOD — A candle left burning on a kitchen counter may have caused a pre-dawn fire Saturday that forced the evacuation of 30 people from a six-story apartment building at 6400 N. Cicero Ave., according to Lincolnwood Fire Department Cmdr. Larry LaRiviere.
Engine companies from seven suburbs responded to the 1:51 a.m. two-alarm blaze that gutted the fifth-floor apartment where it began and also damaged units on the sixth and fourth floors, LaRiviere said.

Introduction: I wrote the novel Aksinya: Enchantment and the Daemon. This was my 21st novel and through this blog, I gave you the entire novel in installments that included commentary on the writing. In the commentary, in addition to other general information on writing, I explained, how the novel was constructed, the metaphors and symbols in it, the writing techniques and tricks I used, and the way I built the scenes. You can look back through this blog and read the entire novel beginning with http://www.pilotlion.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-novel-part-3-girl-and-demon.html.
I'm using this novel as an example of how I produce, market, and eventually (we hope) get a novel published. I'll keep you informed along the way.
Here are my rules of writing:
1. Entertain your readers.
2. Don't confuse your readers.
3. Ground your readers in the writing.
4. Don't show (or tell) everything.
A scene outline is a means of writing a novel where each scene follows the other with a scene input from the previous scene and a scene output that leads to the next scene. The scenes don't necessarily have to follow directly in time and place, however they generally follow the storyline of the protagonist.
A storyline outline is a means of writing a novel where the author develops a scene outline for more than one character and bases the plot on one or more of these storyline scenes. This allows the scenes to focus on more than the protagonist. This is a very difficult means of writing. There is a strong chance of confusing your readers.
Whether you write with a scene outline or a storyline outline, you must properly develop your scenes. All novels are developed from scenes and each scene has a design similar to a novel. Every successful novel has the following basic parts:
1. The beginning
2. The rising action
3. The Climax
4. The falling action
5. The dénouement
Every scene has these parts:
1. The setting (where, what, who, when, how)
2. The connection (input)
3. The tension development
4. The release
5. The output
There are lots of approaches to scene setting. That means there are about a million plus ways you can set a scene. The main point is you have to clearly get across the where, when, who, what, and how.
Here is another example of scene setting from the novel, Aksinya. This is another example of a simple scene setting. This setting is complete. Notice, the time is morning--it continues from the previous scene. Natalya finds Aksinya--the character is also from the previous scene. The place is Aksinya's room--this is indicated by the covers (Aksinya's bed). The book is also an indicator of the place and the action prior to and now. The demon gave Aksinya a book of sorcery and she studied the book all night. The result is this morning scene.
Natalya found her in the morning naked, with the book in her arms, and the covers thrown away from her. A small droplet of fresh water rotated next to the head of the bed. Natalya watched it for a long time after she pulled the covers back over her mistress. Natalya couldn't get the nightgown back on Aksinya because Aksinya wouldn't let go of her book.
Eventually, Aksinya woke. She stretched and pushed the book away from her. Aksinya turned to see Natalya staring at her.
Aksinya gave a great sigh.
Natalya pointed at the small globe of still rotating water, "It's beautiful."
"It is my sin," Aksinya struck the water and it dissipated into the air."
"I thought it was wonderful, mistress. You are truly a powerful and magnificent person." She sucked on her lip, "When will you teach me?"
"I don't wish you to be like me…"
Natalya's eyes began to tear.
"I don't mean it that way. These things I do are sin. They are sorcery. I harm my soul every time I act this way."
Natalya looked away, "Then why don't you stop?"
"I…I…I can't stop. I can't stop myself from doing these things. That's the problem with me."
Natalya reached out her hands. She paused a moment, then she grasped Aksinya's fingers, "I want to be like you. Even if it is a sin. I wish to be just like you. I want to follow you forever."
"Would you even follow me to hell?"
"I would gladly follow you to hell, mistress. I have already seen hell. If being with you is hell, then that is where I want to remain."
"I don't want to teach you these things because you will condemn yourself to hell. I too have seen hell, the real hell. It is not a pleasant place. Yet, I would have traded my soul to hell for my parent and siblings."
"Countess, I would trade my soul to hell for you."
"Then will you trust me when I tell you, I don't want you to go to hell with me. I don't want you to be condemned with me."
"Still, no matter what. I want to be like you, and I want to be with you."
Aksinya shook her head, "How can I convince you? What can I say to you?"
Natalya smiled, "There is nothing you can say to me. There is nothing you can do to convince me. Please teach me, countess."
I left the portion of this scene about Natalya's willingness to go to hell for Aksinya. There is much in this scene. The tension and release is this argument. The argument has much to recommend about philosophy, morality, ethics, and etc. This gives an example how you might introduce a complex philosophical idea. This philosophical thought is wrapped up in the conversation between Aksinya and Natalya. This tension also leads to an inconclusive relief. This is also an example of build up and down. The last scene had a very strong tension and release (the demon dragged Aksinya by the hair and gave her the book). This scene has a lower level tension and release. This is how you write strong tension and release. Build up with very strong tension and release and let out with less strong tension and release.

June 27th, 2009 marked 7 years of marital bliss for Jim and I. But the anniversary celebration was a little delayed this year due to our amazing vacation to the Outer Banks with all our friends. Our anniversary fell on our last day in NC and we decided we wanted to spend as much time as possible with our friends, so we agreed to do something at a later date. That later date ended up being July 25th - 26th when we escaped to historic Georgetown in Washington DC for an overnight getaway. It was WELL worth the month long wait.
Jim had been in Baltimore, MD for work most of the week, so I drove down and picked him up as soon as he was done tearing down their booth on the last day of the trade show. We plugged our destination address into his iPhone and hit the open road. We made good time getting into DC and to the hotel. Even considering we drove past it once because the tiny placard that marked the hotel's location was a little unassuming from the main street. What hotel would have such a "marquee"? How about a classy little joint called the Ritz Carlton. We were able to book a 750 sq foot suite at the Ritz for our getaway. And, thanks to a huge amount of "points" Jim had been accumulating on his eBay credit card, it cost us next to nothing.
The room was what you'd expect of a suite at the Ritz: a long entry hallway leading into a lounge area with a couch, entertainment center, and desk; then french doors opening up into the bedroom with a king bed and the softest, plushest bedding imaginable; and finally, the luxurious and incredibly spacious bathroom. The bathroom was my favorite. If I could've taken the entire thing home with me, I would have.
After getting settled in our room and changing clothes, we headed out on foot (and me in Italian leather high heels) to find someplace to eat dinner. It was already after 7:00 and we quickly realized that the clouds looming overhead were likely to burst open at any moment. We had talked about doing Italian and after walking up and down a few streets, we felt pressured by the weather to settle on one called Paper Moon. We got a table and began looking over the menu. After a few minutes of silence Jim had the insight to ask me if anything even looked appetizing, because nothing was striking him on the menu and the atmosphere just wasn't what we had in mind when we set out in search of food. I was feeling more like I was about to have my palm read than eat a meal, so (for the first time in my life), we got up and left.
We stood outside the restaurant, as the clouds got darker overhead, and plugged some info into the Urban Spoon Application on Jim's iPhone. We said we wanted a steakhouse (Italian no longer seemed appetizing) in Georgetown. Ironically, the first restaurant to pop up was called Sea Catch and it was DIRECTLY across the street. We walked over and as we stood under the restaurant's awning to look at the menu, the heavens opened up and decided Sea Catch was where we would be eating dinner. it was not a steakhouse, but rather offered seafood and a raw bar, as it's name suggests. But that didn't matter. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. And the menu was full of mouthwatering dishes. And as soon as we sat down in a cozy booth in the corner, we were both instantly happy and knew we were where we wanted to be.
Dinner was fabulous and I even tried escargot for the first time. In fact it was such a great dinner that when we walked outside into the pouring rain to head back to our hotel, I simply slipped off my heels and we trotted hand in hand without caring about the rain at all. When we arrived back in our room the maid had already turned down the bed and left chocolates for us. That has to be one of my favorite things about staying in a nice hotel, the fact that they leave chocolate for you, giving you permission to indulge yourself right before bed.
The next morning, we took advantage of our childless situation as well as the hotel's noon checkout time, and slept in until 10:00. We then packed up and had the hotel hold our bags so we could walk around Georgetown, without getting drenched. We ate lunch at Johnny Rockets and then hit up a few stores, but the day passed all too quickly. We soon found ourselves taking the scenic route out of DC. From the hotel, I didn't realize how CLOSE we actually were to EVERYTHING. The Mall, the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Smithsonians, etc. Our drive out was like being on a sightseeing tour. Then we were suddenly on the Parkway headed back home. And stuck in traffic. But even the traffic couldn't really ruin our amazing getaway.
The Ritz was fantastic. Dinner was perfect. But the best part of the trip was that I was there with my best friend. And even after 7 years of marriage, we're still having "firsts".
*Sorry, I didn't get pictures of the room before we settled into it, so I just didn't take any at all.
**A HUMONGOUS THANKS to Susan for taking care of our girls while we were gone.

Spring photos
Today is near the end of February. We had a few very spring like days and now have a series of storms on the way. In the Valley the trees are blossoming like mad. Fruit orchards in all shades of pinks and whites. When a breeze comes along it's like a snowstorm, loosening the blossoms and setting petals to the wind. Soon these will be buffeted by the incoming storms and the peak period to photograph them will pass. These are pics I took this a.m. Blossoms on the pavements, walkways, drains near the Sr. Center where we made art. One is enhanced digitally just to remind you how much fun it is to punch up the colors in Photoshop. The pink blossoming trees are in my neighborhood. One is enhanced as well. These make good backgrounds and inspiration for paintings. Don't you love Spring?

FS Preventive Maintenance Engine - Activity Creation
While invoking the PM engine in one of our functionality, we see that for some of the records ,even after passing all the input parameters including 'End Date' to the FSPrevMnt component, the 'Due' date field on the activity does not get set with the 'End Date' parameter. It gets set to the current date time after the PM component is invoked.
We would like to understand the cause and fix for this behavior of PM component.
The inputs to the
The Due date on Asset's activity created by FSPrevMnt engine is set to the input End Date.
Repro Steps
1. Create a workflow process with a business service step that invokes
'Server Requests' BS, 'SubmitRequest' method, and process properties as
inputs to the FSPrevMnt engine.
Basically set up to be like customer's BS step for invoking FSPrevMnt with
inputs. Deploy and Activate the workflow process.
2. Create a serializable product, release it.
3. Create a Preventive Maintenance plan with a time trigger:
Administration - Preventive Maintenance
Name: Test PM Plan

Over # of Days: 365
Active: checked
Optional: unchecked
Real Time Trigger: unchecked
Time Interval

Valid Start: 0
Valid End: blank
4. Create a new Asset, associate product from 2 to the asset. Set Installed
= Registered = 4/24/1997.
5. Log into service_enu, go to Administration - Business Service > Simulator.
Simulate the workflow process with the inputs:
PM_spcEndDT="2015-10-05" PM_spcAsset_spcID="1-5ZT-2" ProcessName="PM Test
Workflow Process" PM_spcDefActOwnerID="0-1" PM_spcPlan_spcID="1-GI6WEQ"
FSPrevMnt creates 1 PM Action, and the Due = current date = 9/8/2015 08:00:00
AM (9/8/2015 is the current date when simulating the workflow process), like
customer's which is 9/8/2015 11:00:00 AM.

Emeli Sande thanks her Zambian heritage for her musical talent.
The Scottish singer, who's father is Zambian and mother is English, may have grown up in the UK, but African culture is still a huge influence on her music style.
She said: ''At home, Dad always spoke of a relative in Zambia, either his auntie or his grandmother, who used to go into these musical trances. She'd be busy cooking and then suddenly start singing.
He'd say I reminded him of her because I'd start singing and that would be it until the end of the night. So I feel that side of me comes from my Zambian ancestry.''
The 'Next to Me' hitmaker – who had the honour of performing at the Olympic Games closing ceremony on Sunday (12.08.12) – also admitted music helped her find her identity as she struggled to fit in growing up as a child of a mixed-race couple in a predominantly white neighbourhood.
The 25-year-old singer added: ''I was brought up in a village called Alford and apart from my sister; there was nobody else there who looked like me. We didn't experience racism or bullying, or anything like that, but I was aware of my difference and it took me a long time to work out where I fitted in. I think I found a lot of my identity in music.
''People knew you in the village, but any surrounding place you'd go to, you became a spectacle. People would stare and it felt like a big thing.''

Bonhoeffer defines "spiritual community" as that community which is created by the Holy Spirit and founded solely on Jesus Christ (page 13). He writes, "In this respect it differs absolutely from all other communities," (page 13). Bonhoeffer defines an "emotional community" as that which comes from the "natural" man. He argues that the basis of spiritual reality is the "clear, manifest Word of God"; and that the basis of emotional reality are the "dark…desires of the human soul," (Pages 13 – 14). He further argues, "The basis of spiritual community is truth; the basis of emotional community is desire," (page 14). Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together, Fortress Press, 2015 (Reader's Edition).
Bonhoeffer's discussion of the difference between spiritual community and emotional community requires reading and rereading and then more rereading. His examples of emotional community, which I will explore in future posts, provides insight into why he felt compelled to work through these distinctions. Yet, while his examples of the dangers of what he terms "emotional community" serve as sober warnings and correctives – and as you'll see I agree with some of his pointed examples – I think that Biblically-based life together is more complex in its theology and its Biblically-based outworking than what we read in this particular section of Life Together.
I want to hasten to observe that Bonhoeffer wrote Life Together in the midst of Hitler's reign of terror; Bonhoeffer and fellow pastors and Christians were enduring persecution, never knowing what the next day or hour might bring. He didn't have the leisure to attempt a well-rounded discussion of his subjects, he didn't have the time to anticipate and answer questions that might arise in a reader's mind – his goal, as I understand it, was to produce a core document to guide the church in its life together. Bonhoeffer was laying a foundation and providing a framework upon which and within which Christians could live as a worshipping, edifying, and witnessing community. In this respect the result is a book that should be read and discussed by Christians and which should be required reading in seminaries.
While the Bible distinguishes between the "natural" and the "spiritual" (1 Corinthians Chapter Two is a good example), this does not mean that the desires of the soul are always wrong, always aberrant, and certainly not always "dark". While Bonhoeffer does not use the term "always" in the above quote, neither does he balance his statement about the soul when contrasting it with the Holy Spirit and this can lead to misunderstanding about the place of the soul in our relationship with God and with each other.
We are to love the Lord our God with all of our heart and all of our soul (Mark 12:30); as we live in obedience to God's Word our souls are purified (1 Peter 1:22); and our sanctification encompasses the entire person – spirit, soul, and body (1 Thess. 5:23). The spiritual community founded in Christ and created by the Holy Spirit is a community of people in the Trinity, and these people have souls – the Biblical picture of redemption is one of the whole person – spirit, soul, and body.
Bonhoeffer writes, ""The basis of spiritual community is truth; the basis of emotional community is desire." While there is selfish desire, there is also desire born of hunger for the divine, there is the desire of coming home to God, the desire of finding that city whose builder and maker is God, the desire of discovering who we are and why we are here and where we should be going. Bonhoeffer will touch on this again in Life Together and I will question his view on this point. Desire can be truth, and truth can be desire – just ask anyone who has come to know Christ (such as C.S. Lewis) through what has been termed the "dialectic of desire" – more than one person has been surprised by joy.
I don't know if Bonhoeffer is reacting against pietistic elements of the church or not, but I do know that intellectual "truth" without heart experience is a platonic relationship – we need a marriage of the heart and mind – Christ redeemed the whole person and we are to live as whole people. So I think we need to recognize that life together incudes desire formed by truth and truth informed by desire.
Bonhoeffer didn't live long enough to expand on his thoughts or to answer our questions, and since he was a young man when he died he was a young man when he wrote – but he has given us a thought-provoking and challenging document in Life Together, a document which, whether we agree with everything in it or not, is worthy to be our companion.

Former St. John's basketball star Solly Walker dies at 85
Solly Walker, a St. John's basketball star in the 1950s and the school's first black player, has died. He was 85.
He died Friday but no other details were disclosed by the school Tuesday.
In his first season on the varsity, Walker, on Dec. 17, 1951, became the first black player to compete in a basketball game against Kentucky on the Wildcats' home court.
St. John's reached the NCAA championship game that season, the first of two Final Four appearances in the school's history. He averaged 4.4 points and 3.8 rebounds during a 25-6 season under Hall of Fame coach Frank McGuire.
In 1952-53, the 6-foot-4 swingman helped St. John's advance to the National Invitation Tournament title game by averaging 7.0 points and 6.0 rebounds. His finest season came as a senior in 1953-54 when he topped the team in scoring (14) and rebounding (12.2).
Walker was drafted by the New York Knicks but chose a career with the New York City Board of Education, eventually becoming a principal at a Manhattan school. In 1993, he was inducted into the St. John's athletic hall of fame.
Walker was born in 1932 in South Carolina and moved to Brooklyn with his family as a child. He starred at Boys High School in Brooklyn.
A memorial service is scheduled for Monday at Siloam Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn.

Discipline and Peace
I am not disciplined in these areas. Partly it's just human laziness, of course. There's an element of having had folk in my life who made me feel like an evil person because I hadn't cloned their habits. Some of it's irrational fear of drawing too close to Him – maybe He is waiting for me so He can shoot me down, chew me out, tell me how really a worm I am.
All of it's just excuses. And part of me wants to embrace this class and maybe find ways to void those excuses. And part of me is afraid to find more rules and instructions and methods of organization that I can't possibly follow, so that I will feel once again a miserable failure.
Thinking on all this last night, I was struck with the realization that it's not just "discipline" – making myself do certain things at certain times in certain ways and amounts. But it's desire – desire not for the disciplines but for the One the disciplines help us to know. All the prayer and Bible reading and fellowship and sermon-listening in the world mean nothing if done for their own sakes. (And I know they can be so done.)
And there is the heart of my reluctance and failure in the disciplines. For all my reliance on relationship, I do not rely on relationship with Him. Oh, I rely on Him. But I do not rely on relationship with Him. I do not love Him and long for Him as I do for my earthly father. And I want to, and I am afraid to, and I am so lazy . . .
And here's another Scott Cairns poem that somehow speaks to this frustration and failure in me and comforts me. The title is, I understand, a Greek word for "peace."
Stillness occurs with the shedding of thoughts.
– St. John Klimakos
Of course the mind is more often a roar,
within whose din one is hard pressed to hear
so much as a single word clearly. Prayer?
Not likely. Unless you concede the blur
of confused, compelled, competing desire
the mind brings forth in the posture of prayer.
So, I found myself typically torn,
if lately delivered, brow to the floor,
pressing as far as I could into prayer,
pressing beneath or beyond the roar
that had so long served only to wear
away all good intentions, baffling prayer.
Polished hardwood proves its own kind of mirror,
revealing little, but bringing one near
the margin where one hopes to find prayer –
though even one's weeping is mostly obscured
by the very fact and effect of one's tears,
which, for the time being, must serve.

Interesting. Scott's poem makes the need for prayer sound a bit futilistic, egocentric. Maybe it is (at least the latter)? Do you ever get tired of skin-flaying in the faith of what we don't do, what we aren't? Sometimes I do. Just an errant thought I'm sure.
Take care, thanks for addressing the important stuff,

Hi, Teri. It may be because I've been immersed in Cairns' poetry the past week, but I don't get the sense that he's suggesting that *prayer* is egocentric, but that our fallenness and egocentricity can get in the way of prayer, keep us from being able to speak or hear clearly.
And yet the hope is in the fact that "it is sufficient." Maybe not the ideal, maybe not what He and we would like it to be, but sufficient. When His children come to Him, He receives us, delighting in the desire and the attempt, however flawed it may be.
One of my children is going through a terrible struggle right now. I *feel* that I should be able to pray "continually" (meaning at least regularly) and eloquently for that child. Yet the "roar" of life keeps drowning out my awareness and ability, even when I am actively trying to pray (which is far less often than it should be).
And so I rely on my tears and God's mercy and know that He hears and cares far more than even this mother can and that He accepts even the tiniest sacrifice I am able to make -- and so I love Him, and His kindness challenges me to try a little more, seek the peace in which to hear Him a little more diligently.
By the way, you mentioned perhaps wanting to email about teen children some time -- you can reach me at alaiyo_beth @ yahoo.com. (It has added spaces to avoid spam.) It's a challenge, and I'm not sure I have anything practically helpful to say, but I'm good at saying "I know how you feel!" :-)
