Ben was scheduled to take his driving test today so he could get an Indiana State driving licence. I hoped to do my written test so I could schedule my driving test but after speaking to a very miserable woman at the BMV she told me I couldn't as my Social Security Card did not match my 'primary id' as the names were not the same. I had sent off the form and copies of my id to the Social Security Administration but hadn't heard anything. Until I get a letter or document confirming that my Social Security records have been amended and I am who I say I am, I can't get a Indiana driving licence. Ben has offered to go into the Federal Building with all my documents and another completed form. Happy lady at the BMV told me I needed a 'NUMI' form and then I could do my tests.
Ben was able to carry on with his test which involved going out for a 10 minute drive and performing a parallel park. That was it. Unsurprisingly he passed. There seemed to be a bit of a 'computer says no' going on afterwards as same happy woman that had seen me, took about 45 minutes to get Ben's licence sorted out. Eventually he got a printout of what his licence will look like but not the actual licence. The BMV have to check with Homeland Security that all the visas/documents etc Ben provided them with are legal and he is supposed to be in the US. At least I now have an idea what to expect when I finally get to that point. I am hoping it won't take me 7 attempts to pass like it did in the UK though!
After finishing up at the BMV we went to the Childrens Museum again and then home for a nap before heading out to the Columbus Electric Lights Parade. We arrived after it had started but found a very good parking space by the Dairy Queen and only had to walk for about 2 minutes until we found a decent vantage point to watch all the floats go by with their Christmas lights on. We got 4 hot chocolates for $3 as one of them was only half full and the guy serving us didn't have a refill to hand. After standing watching it all for a while we went back to the car and the kids watched the fireworks from the warmth of the back seat.
As it was late I knew we wouldn't get back in time for dinner so got some food from McDonalds. mmmm. Lovely. not.
Tomorrow we are going tree hunting. We are getting a real Christmas tree for the first time ever.

During a recent visit to Malaysia, a birding buddy said that it was possible to go shoot a swift whilst it was nesting.
I thought "Hmm… a swift, those very dark colourless birds I've seen in the UK a thousand times, and not once have their nesting habits seemed remotely interesting" … needless to say, I wasn't exactly jumping through hoops. I don't know that much about swifts. I know some are, through their nesting activity, the source of birds' nest soup. And aligned to that, some nutters go to crazed lengths to try and get those nests and the monies that ensue.
I also know that the fastest bird in the world, (in flight, not stooping on prey) is a Spine Tailed Swift. And I knew that swifts cannot land on anything that's not at least a fair slope, as their wings are so big and wide, relative to their small bodies, that they otherwise can't take off without a favourable perch or gradient. That was a swift recap of the sum total of my knowledge about swifts. I said that swifts are 'pretty bland'. What I meant was that in my experience, swifts had all the colour and contrast of a white cat in a snowstorm.I was told that this wasn't just a swift. Not just any swift. This was a Whiskered Tree Swift. Well, I hadn't photographed a tree swift before. So that was starting to get interesting. PLUS, this bird has whiskers. My curiosity was definitely aroused.
SO off we went to shoot a Whiskered Tree Swift. We drove for miles of road that meandered like a drunk man with inner ear issues. Up and down, round and round, for what seemed like an eternity. And then we stopped. "The swift is up there" we were told, as I looked up an embankment that had steepness. Real steepness. As in a 1:3 level of steepness gradient, whereby for every foot you made horizontally, the gradient would make sure you ended up 3 feet below where you started that foot if you were descending. I looked up… and up, and noticed that it went even further, UP! I was starting to wonder how my gear was going to be taken UP like that. I have to say I was having reservations. Canon pro level photography gear has many features, benefits and general attributes attached to them. However, 'falling, sliding, bouncing, et al' are not part of Canon's sales pitch. There's good reason for that!!!
Despite this gradient seemingly extending to the stratosphere, it turned out that the swift was a mere 50 metres or so up. So as usual, taking naivety to newfound levels of stupidity, I smiled. 50 metres. With a tripod, 500mm lens, and a Canon 1DX body. I thought it would be 200+ metres and I'd be both assessing whether any mountain goat genes ran in our family, and also how responsive the local ambulance service would be. So 50 metres was a breeze! Yeah right. I don't think I have moved this gingerly before, save for that night long ago when a certain act was done for the first time. but anyway, up we went, and with assistance with the gear, all was well. And then. Right in front of us. As the sun began to radiate the new day's greeting from the right, there it was.
Probably the tiniest nest I have seen for a long, long time. Definitely the most beautiful Swift I have EVER seen. And that day I got to shoot it. On the nest. With a chick. Happy Days! 🙂
At first, the female, (AKA 'Mum'), was in attendance at the nest and the chick was obscured. I'm not sure if the chick was sleeping, or whether the mother was using her feathers to provide a little protection from the ever climbing sun.
I was scrambling to set up my gear but was told that there was lots of time, this chick isn't ready to fly and we have several hours to get the shots we want. To be honest I couldn't really imagine spending several hours in front of a bird. Waiting for a bird I hadn't shot well enough, or at all? Maybe. But not when it is right in front of you.
After a short time and once my camera gear was all set up how I wanted it, the chick moved and became clearly visible. You can see the red cheeks, clearly identifying that this is a male.
The sun was rising fast now and the temperature was climbing, which, with the dew deposited during the night being predictably united with the atmosphere, provided an increasing level of humidity.
I was fairly aghast at how pretty his bird was. I'd never even thought of associating the bird 'swift' with the word 'pretty' before.
The youngster decided that a little 'stretching' was the order of the day, and so the wings were given a good extension whilst 'mum' was partially obscured. On this basis, I figured that previously, the nestling was probably asleep.
Not too long after this stretching, 'mum' decided to take flight and the chick was seen by me, alone, for the first time. I thought that the adult female most likely had gone to catch flies and all, as a suitable breakfast for the youngster.
No sooner had mum left, then the juvenile began to stretch his wings in earnest. Not just a mere extension this time – more like vociferous beating.
I was unsure at first whether this was for the purpose of merely strengthening the wings and developing those critical muscles necessary for a lifetime of flight. I'm sure that this rationale certainly featured; however, it was noticeable that whilst this vigorous wing beating went on, then a fair amount of particulate debris was released into the air. Dust, remnants of 'baby down' and nesting material caught in the newly forming feathers were probably all included in this 'shake out'.
It took quite some time before 'mum' returned, and by this time the wing exercise and 'spring cleaning' had finished. The temperature now was rising considerably.
Mum had indeed been away to gather food, and proceeded to feed her young son.
A repeated pattern of 'mum' bending over, youngster opening the beak, eyelids closed over, and a regurgitated meal was deposited with ease, received with gratitude.
It was noticeable that 'Dad' hadn't been around too much.
No sooner had I had that thought, then 'mum' again took flight and 'dad' who had been in waiting on a nearby tree, came by to nurture the chick.
Dad didn't participate in the feeding; he just took 'mum's' place and nurtured the nestling as his mate had previously done. Note how the adult male has very distinguishable red cheeks. By this time I had taken a lot of shots. And it had indeed been several hours since we arrived. I'd lost all track of time with doing my photography and revelling in what was both adorning my viewfinder and simultaneously gracing my camera sensor. I was as enthralled after all this time as I was in the first instance when I began to fire the shutter button for this gorgeous bird. I was still totally mesmerised with this mother and son swift, when thankfully, I was holding the cable release and ready to shoot.
Because what happened next was just heart melting. It was A MOMENT.
The young son gazes towards the mother. He has 'that look'. That look all boys have when they're young towards their mother and perhaps lose the innocence to display that expression in later years. but I captured it. And if I could have, i'd have downloaded that images from the memory card right there and then, just to see if I had captured that single expression.
I'm so glad I did capture it. That moment. That bond. That SPECIAL relationship that a son has with his mother.
And here it was, captured in one shot.
All I could do to express my feeling with this photograph was to simply watermark the shot with the words,
"Love is… ".
I consider myself unbelievably fortunate to have been able to shoot this bird. And even more so because of all days I could have been there to do this, I was here on this one. What a pleasure. What an absolute joy!
Happy Days indeed 🙂 .

I HAVE been a resident of Osceola County for the past eight years and have met Sheriff Jon Lane only on a few occasions at meetings, and once at his office. I called him a few times to encourage him when his enemies were closing in on him. But I cannot consider myself as a close friend, although I do feel he has done a good job in our community despite all the flak he's received over the years.
But now I feel the necessity of writing in his defense because it is so apparent that certain elements of the news media, particularly Geoff Clark of The Osceola Sentinel, have been downright unfair to Sheriff Lane.

Taylor's Amazing Grammy Performance (Your Neck OK, Bro?) [VIDEO]
Taylor Swift's head banging, neck jerking, hair flinging performance was....well, everything you'd expect from just about the biggest star in music today. Her chain mail dress was classy, the cameras showed her dancing to Imagine Dragons and others, and her best moment was what I saw last night on Inside Edition or Insider or one of those (LOL) where she was told..."You're Taylor Swift, you can do anything!" Taylor's response was..."Don't say that, that's how people go crazy!" (Justin Bieber?)

I love nature and biology, but sometimes Pokémon just seems more appealing. Species are well defined and nobody doubts the reality of evolution, even if the definition of the word is drastically different to how we understand it. In the Pokéworld, one single creature can evolve into another species (sub-species?) just by fighting other beasties and growing stronger, rather than the slow changes of natural selection.
Most Pokémon are based on IRL creatures and plants. Some are famous and obvious, like Squirtle (turtle) and Caterpie (caterpillar). Some are pretty niche, like Alomamola, which is an adapted form of the massive and bonkers sunfish.
Anyway, with Pokemon X and Y coming out later this year, I've got a selection of real organisms that Game Freak would be foolish not to make into Pokémon, because they're most of the way there already! I've made some fairly horrible attempt at assigning Poké-names, please feel free to offer alternatives!
Blue Dragon / Sea Swallow / Blue Ocean Slug
Latin Name: Glaucus atlanticus — Poké-name suggestion: NudiBloo
I fell in love with this thing the second I saw it on the IFLS Facebook page. It's just the right mix of adorable and slightly creepy – being a mollusc, it has a distinct lack of face.
Growing up to 3cm long, this fierce little nudibranch chooses to eat deadly Portuguese Man o' War, which already makes it a lot braver than I am. It also loves to chow down on simple organisms called blue buttons and by-the-wind sailors.
The Blue Dragon floats upside-down just below the surface of the sea, and threats can come from above or below. The blue "top" you can see is actually its belly, which camouflages it against predators looking down into the dark water. The white "underside" makes it virtually invisible to undersea predators looking up against the light sky.
I think it would an adorable little faceless Water / Dragon type. … and then I found this:
Oh Internet, you never fail to take things to the next level. Next up… sexy blobfish?
Marsupial mole
Latin name: Notoryctidae typhlops / caurinus (depending on Southern or Northern species) — Poké-name suggestion: Burriel
While we're on the subject of the things where the presence of eyes is ambiguous… meet the marsupial mole from Australia.
The only eyes the marsupial moles have are tiny non-functional lenses under the fur. Also hidden away are the ears, which are small holes buried beneath the coat. The cone shaped head is well adapted for boring through soil.
Being marsupial, mothers pouches which keep the babies safe until they can fend for themselves. In the marsupial mole, these pouches are rear-facing so the babies don't get faces full of soil every time she decides to go underground.
The name I've given is a combination of burrow (self-evident), burrito (it's long round body shape) and L'Oreal (look at that luscious fur – this animal is worth it!). The claws make it look like an ugly cousin in Sandslash, so perhaps it could be an alternate evolution of Sandshrew?
King of Saxony Bird of Paradise
Latin name: Pteridophora alberti — Poké-name suggestion: Plumbra
This is the King of Saxony bird of paradise from New Guinea, named after Albert of Saxony. I was going to do some research on the man, but Wikpedia informs me that "his reign as king was largely uneventful", which put me off a bit. Moving on…
As you might expect of a bird-of-paradise, the male has a very special courtship routine. He'll choose a springy branch and make it bounce around (video) adorably while emitting a metallic chatter, erecting his black feathers into a little cape and showing off his 50cm-long saw-tooth plume.
Even if they are removed from the bird, these blue plumes are still desirable trinkets. The Archibold's Bowerbird will put a lot of effort into acquiring them to make little courtship houses, only to be nicked by native people of Guinea who put them through their noses.
I thought Albert here would make a good Dark / Flying type – but even with horns and a cape, it seems a bit too cute to compete with Murkrow, especially with the yellow belly and beady little eyes.
I'm happy to take suggestions for animals that should be Pokémon – I'm already planning a Part 2 so get in touch =)

Time flies.

- Not sure what to do now.
- I need to go home and write down the textbooks I need to buy/rent/borrow.
Too much on my mind. I need to make some lists; too many loose threads. But I think I'll leave now.

We serve an awesome God. Through him we've received freedom from sin, death, and hell. We need to take heart and trust in him. We need to love him with all that we have within us. Put aside your sin and run the race that is set before you. This takes putting off the old man and becoming new. How do we put off the old man and become new?
By loving the Lord will all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving our neighbor as ourselves (Luke 10:27). In other words, obeying the commands God has put down in his Word for us.

text: NAIROBI, KENYA — A fuel shortage has forced airlines to reroute commercial flights and cut back relief deliveries to millions of people. A number of carriers, including Kenya Airways, British Airways and KLM, now must refuel in Egypt, Tanzania or other countries because not enough fuel is available in Kenya. Last week, the U.N. World Food Program reduced by up to 50 percent the number of food flights to refugees in Rwanda and Sudan, a spokesman said. Kenya's government has said little about the fuel shortage. But some airline officials say Kenya does not have enough foreign currency to pay for oil or replacement parts to keep a Mombasa refinery operating at full capacity.

CHICAGO—As patient-driven care becomes the new reality, the president of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) for 2013, Sarah S. Donaldson, MD, has a message for radiologists: get out of the basement and make sure patients know your name.
"What I'm talking about is more than image interpretation and it's more than rapid communication of a consultation. I'm talking about accepting responsibility for patient care, which is another excellent way to demonstrate our value," said Donaldson during the President's Address on Dec. 1 at the annual meeting of RSNA.
Donaldson, who is also a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, Calif., pushed radiologists to re-examine their expectations, and to build partnerships within radiology, throughout the greater medical community, and with patients themselves. These partnerships will be essential in the current healthcare environment, which has become fragmented and specialized, she said. Cost concerns and reform also will be powerful forces.
"It's a time that requires us to produce value, not volume; outcomes, not output."
Within radiology, Donaldson touted the benefits of integrating all areas of imaging. Cancer care benefits from the input of nuclear medicine specialists, while multimodality imaging and the coming rise of PET/MR will rapidly advance radiology's precision. Educational programs in radiology need to be updated to include a focus on collaborative care, she said.
Looking across the spectrum of healthcare, Donaldson next urged radiologists to form partnerships with other medical specialties and suggested active participation in tumor boards and conferences as one example of how to increase visibility. By demonstrating value outside of interpretation, radiologists can increase their referral base and avoid replacement by an algorithm.
Finally, radiologists must foster relationships with patients, who are very interested in personalized care and contact with radiologists. It's not common for radiologists to have direct contact with patients, and thus the patients do not learn the names of their imaging specialists or the huge rule they play in healthcare. If that changes, patients could become strong advocates for radiology, said Donaldson. Making this change, however, will not be easy.
"These are extraordinary times, unsettling times, because we are working in an ever-more stressful environment. One that challenges us to change, and change is always difficult," said Donaldson.

My friend Mary over at Just-a-Spoonful reminded me that its meal planning time! Where did this last week and weekend go?! I think somewhere in my mind I feel like its Christmas and that means I shouldn't have to cook normal dinners- just spend all my time making wreaths and shopping, LOL. Well back to reality- here's my list for the week:
Monday: Cheddar Stuffed Hamburgers, Homemade Buns and Sweet Potato Fries
Tuesday: Chicken Stir fry and Brown Rice
Wednesday: Shepherd's Pie (I love those one-dish meals! Also I'll top it with cheese)
Thursday: Taco Salad with homemade French/Catalina Dressing
Friday: Spaghetti (hubby will be out of town- making things easy!)
Breakfasts- My 3 year old has been asking for "circle waffles" (pancakes) everyday, so I'll be making up enough batter to last a few days in the fridge :). Also bagels w/ cream cheese, cereal and cut up fruit.
Lunches- Chicken Salad, Bagel pizzas, PB&J... my lunches sound about the same every week- I should probably do something about that! Anyone have any fun lunch ideas??
What are you cooking up this week?

Granderson leads Mets past Nats 3-1
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Curtis Granderson hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning and a New York Mets split-squad earned a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday.
Granderson hit his third homer of the spring on the third pitch he saw from reliever Drew Storen, driving it over the fence in right field.
"I'm honestly not too sure," Granderson said when asked what the pitch was. "I was just trying to get down and get a ball to drive. No ridiculous thought process or anything like that.
"He threw me three pitches, and honestly, all three were different."

Check it out at http://www.usni.org/
I bought 12 copies of this book and Admiral Stavridis was kind enough to inscribe each one personally for me. This book is excellent reading for students of leadership. I am reading it for the second time. I don't want to miss a single word. Very tough assignment to be a Commanding Officer of an Arleigh Burke destroyer. One man is responsible for about $1B worth of equipment and the lives of over 300 Sailors - the sons and daughters of America. They call him Captain.

After a full day of packing and traveling on Wednesday, we were excited about the prospect of getting some rest at Roxi's parents' house for a couple of days. Our original plan for the move was to be packed up and out of Memphis on Friday August 19. Thankfully, we finished packing on Wednesday which gave us the opportunity to leave early and spend a few days with family before continuing our journey.
We spent much of the day Thursday recuperating from the busy Wednesday but we also did a little work. We unloaded a few small items from the car that would be staying in Lafayette.
There is a much more direct driving route from Memphis to Los Angeles, but our motivation for the detour was to visit family before we moved. Besides getting two days with Roxi's parents, Roxi's sister's family made the trip from Florida to see us before we left. Before they arrived on Thursday afternoon, we had the chance to visit my grandparents as well. So Thursday ended up being a very relaxing family day.
Friday was much the same although Roxi and I did take some time to go through our luggage and make sure that everything we had packed was really essential. We were both able to remove a few items thus lightening our load. I took care of my to-do list arranging things for the rest of our trip (hotels, car shipment verification, etc.) and then focused on family time the rest of the afternoon and evening.
Roxi's brother's family drove in from western Louisiana to visit and Roxi's dad made a fantastic seafood gumbo for dinner. We had a very nice family meal and the first of my two family birthday celebrations was capped off with an assortment of deserts that Roxi's mom and sister made.
Today will be a hard day for us: we say goodbye to our cat Jupiter for the next four months. I was never really a cat person before Roxi and I started dating, but Jupiter is my adopted pet now and I will miss her so much. She is in good hands here in Lafayette, but she doesn't like it when one if us is not around. I only wish there was someway that we could make her understand that this is in her best interest. Despite all the other things that we have to do to get to Hawaii and get settled in, I think that this will be the most emotionally difficult.

Principles Over Power: Why Republicans Need To Do What's Right To Remain Relevant
Over the last few weeks, I've watched as the last shreds of the Republican Party's "family values" rotted away.
Over the last few weeks, I've watched as the last shreds of the Republican Party's "family values" rotted away.
Let's make this image go viral!
Republicans prove how violent they are at the Iowa State Fair Monday morning.
The leader of Counter Jade Helm Texas (the group preparing for Obama's Texas invasion) hates liberals. He was so mad at "liberal trolls" that he just threatened to "kill thousands of us f*cks."
These men and women went to war and do not deserve this type of ridicule.
Your sexual orientation should not be considered a disability.
This is exactly what you need to see as the weekend kicks off!
A child rapist strikes again – and this time, things would end a bit differently.
"It really annoys me when people say I've never had a job because I worked at shoplifting for over four decades."
At first I was shocked – and then it made me think.
This is one 10-year-old that will NEVER be stealing again!
This US Army parody definitely struck a nerve.
A rally to promote religious tolerance was interrupted by so-called Christians armed with Islamophobic signs and slurs.
I can't imagine what these poor animals went through.
This woman might have died in the ER if she hadn't taken matters into her own hands.
I got chills when I watched this.
"I didn't get into trouble, I was a quiet kid…"

Tuesday July 28 Let us Seek to Forget and forgive and move on after we wrap all the hurts in a garbage bag and though them in the dumpster
Daily Dig for July 28
Kathleen Noris
Worship grounds me again
in the real world of God's creation, dislodging me from whatever world I have imagined for myself. I have come to believe that when we despair of praise, when the wonder of creation and our place in it are lost to us, it's often because we've lost sight of our true role as creatures – we have tried to do too much, pretending to be in such control of things that we are indispensable. It's a hedge against mortality and, if you're like me, you take a kind of comfort in being busy. The danger is that we will come to feel too useful, so full of purpose and the necessity of fulfilling obligations that we lose sight of God's play with creation, and with ourselves.
The Quotidian Mysteries
Daily Prayer for July 28
Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt
Now we find that the Law keeps slipping into the picture to point the vast extent of sin. Yet, though sin is shown to be wide and deep, thank God his grace is wider and deeper still! Romans 5:20, Phillips
Lord our God,
we come into your presence, pleading with you to bring the world what it needs, so that people may be freed from all their pain and enabled to serve you. Let the power of Jesus Christ be revealed in our time. For he has taken on our sin that justice might arise on earth, that all might have life and might see your salvation, which you will bring when the time is fulfilled. Let your power be revealed in the world, and let your will be done, your name be kept holy, and all wrongs be righted in this turbulent and difficult age. O Lord our God, you alone can help. You alone are the Savior of all peoples. In your great mercy you can bring peace. We look to you. And when we consider your Word, we remember the mighty promises you have given, promises which are to be fulfilled in our time. Amen.

Nonsuit Moots Pending Interlocutory Appeal, Panel Says
Following Texas Supreme Court precedent, Houston's First Court of Appeals, in a panel opinion written by its Chief Justice, dismisses interlocutory appeal, holding that the controversy was mooted when the underlying proceeding was nonsuited in the trial court. (As an aside, one of the Plaintiffs in the case involving a condominium dispute happens to be a Harris County Family Court Judge).
In this case we consider whether an appeal challenging an interlocutory order is rendered moot after all parties non-suit their claims in the trial court. We grant appellees' motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of a justiciable controversy.
Appellees are homeowners who own units in the Royalton at River Oaks Condominium in Houston, Texas. The appellants are the developers of the condominium complex.
The homeowners sought a declaratory judgment that the developer-controlled board of administrators of the condominium complex was illegitimate and that a new election for the board of administrators must be held. The homeowners also sought an injunction preventing an improper election and ordering a proper election. Both sides agreed to a temporary restraining order so that a temporary-injunction hearing could be held.
The developers then filed a plea to the jurisdiction, arguing that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction until all of the condominium owners were joined in the suit and served. The trial court denied the developers' plea to the jurisdiction and then ordered an election for the board of the condominium complex to occur. The developers did not file an interlocutory appeal from this ruling. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(4) (Vernon 2008).
In compliance with the temporary injunction order, an election was held and a new board was elected. On that same date, the developers filed an amended answer and asserted a claim seeking a declaratory judgment that provisions of the Texas Uniform Condominium Act control over the language of the condominium declarations.
The homeowners nonsuited all of their remaining claims against the developers, and the trial court entered an order dismissing the homeowners' claims against the developers.
The developers then nonsuited their claims against the homeowners. The trial court signed an order dismissing the developers' claims against the homeowners. No live claims remained in the case. The developers filed a notice of appeal indicating that they wished to challenge the trial court's denial of their plea to the jurisdiction.
The homeowners filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as moot, arguing that the nonsuit of all live claims deprives this Court of a justiciable issue. We agree.
In University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston v. Blackmon, 195, S.W.3d 98, 100 (Tex. 2008) [Tex. 2006], the daughter of an inmate who died at UTMB filed suit against the medical facility. UTMB filed a plea to the jurisdiction, which the trial court denied. Id. UTMB then filed an interlocutory appeal. Id. While the appeal was pending, the plaintiff non-suited her claim against UTMB. The supreme court held that, because the plaintiff non-suited her case in the trial court, the court of appeals lacked jurisdiction to consider trial court's ruling on the plea to the jurisdiction. Id. at 101. The plaintiffs' nonsuit vitiated the trial court's interlocutory order denying UTMB's plea to the jurisdiction, thus there was nothing for the appellate court to review. Id.
The developers argue that Blackmon is distinguishable because they had filed claims for affirmative relief, and Blackmon noted that a nonsuit cannot "prejudice the right of an adverse party to be heard on a pending claim for affirmative relief[.]" See Id. at 100. However, the developers nonsuited their own claims for affirmative relief before filing the notice of appeal. Therefore, the developers do not have any pending claim for affirmative relief in the trial court.
By dismissing their affirmative claims for relief rather than pursuing them to final judgment, the developers have rendered moot the trial court's interlocutory ruling on their plea to the jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we grant the appellees' motion and dismiss the appeal because of the lack of a justiciable controversy.

This thesis reports an investigation on the feasibility study of a searching mechanism using an APP suitable for an on-line bibliographic retrieval, operation, especially for retrospective searches. From the study of the searching methods used in the conventional systems it is seen that elaborate file- and data- structures are introduced to improve the response time of the system. These consequently lead to software and hardware redundancies. To mask these complexities of the system an expensive computer with higher capabilities and more powerful instruction set is commonly used. Thus the service of the systen becomes cost-ineffective. On the other hand the primitive operations of a searching mechanism, such as, association, domain selection, intersection and unions, are the intrinsic features of an associative parallel processor. Therefore it is important to establish the feasibility of an APP as a cost-effective searching mechanise. In this thesis a searching mechanism using an 'ON-THE-FLY' searching technique has been proposed. The parallel search unit uses a Byte-oriented VRL-APP for efficient character string processing. At the time of undertaking this work the specification for neither the retrieval systems nor the BO-VRL APP's were well established; hence a two-phase investigation was originated. In the Phase I of the work a bottom up approach was adopted to derive a formal and precise specification for the BO-VRL-APP. During the Phase II of the work a top-down approach was opted for the implementation of the searching mechanism. An experimental research vehicle has been developed to establish the feasibility of an APP as a cost-effective searching mechanism. Although rigorous proof of the feasibility has not been obtained, the thesis establishes that the APP is well suited for on-line bibligraphic information retrieval operations where substring searches including boolean selection and threshold weights are efficiently supported.

New Meds for a New Cycle
I called up yesterday for my Provera refill and the Femara. I actually got ahold of a real person on the first try. The wait to get blood work this morning was just as long as normal. This is for my monthly pregnancy test "just in case". I didn't even call back for the results. And the line of the pharmacy was surprisingly short. Even the old guy next to me said he didn't even have enough time for his usually nap while waiting.
Tomorrow I'll start Provera for the next five day. I'm prescribed for seven, but I don't get my period any sooner with seven or ten.
Then around August 1st I'll start Femara 5mg, standard five days like Clomid. I believe 5mg is the middle dose, I've also seen 2.5 and 7.5mg prescribed.
My first ultrasound will be around the 10th.
Lets just hope my ovaries do something.
I increased my Met a couple days ago to 1500mg. I'm not feeling all that hot but not throwing up ether. < Lack of vomiting, this is my positive thinking for those that believe I lack it.
My pap smear from April-ish came back normal, I will avoid dysplasia/cancer for another year. The letter I got in the mail said for me to book another one in two years, yeah that's not going to happen. After everything I've been through with my cervix I don't trust it that much. I'll call up next spring for another one.
Bean's work schedule has been hectic lately, even more so in the next week. Last night he got home at midnight (goes into work at 6am), and I expect the same for tonight too. I'm trying to find things to keep me busy. I have a bunch of guy shirts Bean gave me that I love, but they are guy shirts. They don't fit boobs and curves. I have to take a couple of them in. Along with my own shirts I have to take in.
I saw some cute baby onesie/bib ideas on ThinkGeek and Pinterest I want to copy. Maybe I'll do that next week.
PS Victoria's Secret is having a swimsuit sale. The website is dangerous, I just spend $120 on 4 bottom and 2 tops. But it is a good deal, if anyone needs a new one or five.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are very common. Regional chronic shoulder and neck pain (SNP) and widespread chronic pain due to fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) are examples of MSDs characterized by altered physiology of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The aims of the present study is to compare the cortisol awakening response (CAR) in SNP women, FMS patients and healthy controls, and to compare salivary cortisol levels, urinary catecholamine levels (adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine), and cardiovascular responses in FMS patients and healthy controls. Self-ratings of sleep, anxiety, perceived stress, and pain were also investigated. CAR tended to be higher in SNP women than in healthy controls, whereas it was significantly higher than in FMS patients. Moreover, CAR was significantly lower in FMS patients than in healthy controls. Cortisol levels were lower in FMS patients than in healthy controls during the rest of the day as well. In addition, adrenaline and dopamine (but not noradrenaline) levels were significantly lower in FMS patients than in healthy controls. Resting heart rate was significantly higher in FMS patients than in healthy controls, but no differences emerged during stress provocation or unconstrained daily activities. Finally, SNP women and FMS patients reported more pain and health complaints than did healthy controls, but SNP women were less affected. Potential confounders (e.g., age, obesity, smoking habit, employment fraction, sleeping problems, and physical exercise) had no effects on the findings. Taken together, the findings show altered ANS and HPA axis regulation in FMS patients. Specifically, the hyperactive HPA axis found in SNP women (i.e., higher cortisol levels) might constitute a preliminary stage of a hypoactive HPA axis in FMS patients (i.e., lower cortisol levels). In view of this, an altered regulation of the HPA axis in the progression from regional to widespread MSDs may follow a temporal development.
This research formed part of Rivas thesis work under the supervision of Emeritus Professor Ulf Lundberg and Associate Professor Petra Lindfors. The research was supported by grants to Professor Ulf Lundberg from the Swedish Research Council and the Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research.

Uplighting at West Tower Ormskirk
West Tower in Ormskirk, Lancashire, is a fantastic venue for uplighting. As it is neutral is decor giving a fresh feel, the room can be colour washed any colour you like without being over powering.
The natural light of the venue really compliments the uplighting when installed professionally and helps set the scene for a romantic day and special Wedding!
Here we see our purple uplighting set up for the afternoon whilst there is still a lot of natural light coming in through the windows.
The purple colour is set nice and subtle for during the Ceremony and Wedding Breakfast meal, then as the sun goes down and the evening party begins, becomes very rich and looks amazing for a party!

First stop was Clockburn Lake outlet stream (a common tern was fishing on the lake) but a good search revealed none to be had, though the area was teeming with Azure and Blue-tailed damsels, and a few Large Reds.
|Plenty of Blue-tailed Damsels on show at Clockburn Lake
A mating wheel (top) and a cracking rufescens female (bottom)
I think the flooding of the last few years has changed the river a bit here, I'm sure it's not as slow-moving as it use to be and consequently I haven't had a demoiselle here for the last two years, which is a shame because it was always the best place to photograph them. But I'll keep trying.
So I moved on to the banker site of Hagghill, but as I was on foot decided to try and view it from the east bank of the river rather than the west as I do when I'm on my bike.
I crossed the new Butterfly Bridge, scanning the riverbanks either side, but despite glorious sunshine only Mayflies were dancing about on the water.
I trekked along the riverside meadows, and despite a few diversions I eventually got to a point opposite Hagghill, though the viewing wasn't as good as I'd hoped as the vegetation was extremely tall and lush, blocking the view of the nearside just about altogether, and hidden drops along the steep-sided riverbank prevented me risking getting too close, but I took up the best vantage point I could and it didn't take long for the demoiselles to appear.
First a female, then a male, a pair of males skirmishing, a tandem pair assaulted by another male, more skirmishing and another female. I reckoned 6-8 males and 3 females in the area but as it wasn't the best of views so most likely a few more. I also spied a Dragonfly briefly passing a gap in the vegetation, but too quick to make an ID, another puzzler.
Getting a photograph of the demoiselles proved nigh on impossible. For once I could have done with a few clouds to keep them grounded but the early afternoon sunshine meant long bouts of skirmishing as the two males spiralled upwards then a quick drop to cover, but all too brief a stay as the next skirmish soon started.
Great to watch but not much fun for the Dragonhunter, armed with only the much maligned Krappy Kodak.
I reeled off about 20 shots in my stay, but none were in proper focus, and these were the best of a shite bunch.
|Banded Demoiselle (male)
Even in shite photos, still a beauty.
Can't expect anything better at the moment I'm afraid, feeling a bit lost without my Lumix. And just to make matters worse I realised I'd lost my water bottle somewhere along the journey (and boy did I need a drink in the heat today) but on the plus side I did photograph this Goosander family on the river, and a pair of Blackcaps showed well in trees on the opposite bank, though I didn't see any youngsters with them.
|Mammy Goosander and 6 chicks
The trek home was a bit of a plod without water, but never mind, mission accomplished. Banded Demoiselle in the bag :-)

Thanks to the creators of the software. The context sensitive help on any topic of algebra made me clear my basics of mathematics. A very very useful tool ..
Jeff Brooks, ID
My fourteen year-old son, Bradley, was considered at-risk by his school. But, I couldnt make him listen to me. Then when a teacher at his school, Mr. Kindler bless his heart, got him to try an after-school program, it was like a miracle! I wouldnt say Bradley became a model student but he was no longer failing his math classes. So when I found out that Mr. Kindler based his entire program on using Algebra Helper, I just had to write this letter to say Thank You! Imagine that!

Date & Time:
01/11/2017 - 31/07/2018
Wan Chai is the cradle of Hong Kong's animation and comics (ani-com) industry, with many local ani-com artists started their career here. It is also the home of Hong Kong's first art community featuring ani-com – Comix Home Base.
This autumn, Hong Kong Arts Centre and Comix Home Base present Comixtream in the City – Wan Chai, a project that transforms the district's public spaces into exciting ani-com encounters. Eight local veteran and upcoming ani-com artists collaborate to bring comics art to four distinctive locations, forming a comics cluster that celebrates Wan Chai's past, present and imagines its future, also promoting Wan Chai as an ani-com landmark in Hong Kong.
Surrounding the now revitalised heritage Comix Home Base are five lampposts decorated by local designer and illustrator Bo Law, whose work personify the tranquil neighbourhood of Sun, Moon and Star Streets as an old angler overlooking Wan Chai's vibrant streets and waterfront. North to them, comics artists Jerry Cho, Mandycat and Bonnie Pang have transformed Southorn Playground into a comic showcase of Wan Chai's street scenes and everyday life.
Along Gloucester Road, comics artist Justin Wong has worked together with Dolly Lee to bring the area's diverse cityscape – from the historical tramway and traditional teahouses to the modern architecture such as Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre – to the East entrance of the Revenue Tower. Six distinctive scenes of Wan Chai, connected by the tramway, are featured above the entrance to show the change of landscape from Wan Chai South to Wan Chai North.
On an exterior wall outside the building of Hong Kong Arts Centre, local comics veterans Alice Mak and Keung Chi Kit envision a green "Wan Chai Hill" in their collaborative work. Their famous comics characters, McDull and Samba, are having a cheerful stroll on the Hill.
Comixtream in the City – Wan Chai, not only serves as a public platform for local comics artists to gain exposure to local and international audience, but also acts as a unique community and outreach project. A series of workshops will be held to engage diverse communities and strengthen the exchanges among ani-com artists, different social groups and the general public, raising awareness of public art and bringing comics into the city's daily lives.
Locations of public artwork:
1. Comix Home Base (5 neighbouring lampposts)
2. Southorn Playground (interior and exterior walls of the main entrance at Hennessy Road and an interior wall of the public stand)
3. Revenue Tower (East entrance on the Ground Floor)
4. Hong Kong Arts Centre (exterior wall facing Gloucester Road)
Upcoming events:
Comixtream in the City Wan Chai Comix Archi-Walk
Wan Chai is one of Hong Kong's earliest developed districts and has profound historical and cultural presence.

wikipedia, "The term "Devil Dog" is a very common nickname for all Marines. "Devil Dog" is historically a well accepted term of endearment." I have also learned that it can be a derogatory term among Marines as well.
I chose to be somewhat light-hearted and apply the positive connotation of Devil Dog as my blog is about my life with my fiance who is a 13-year veteran of the Marine Corps and our actual dog (Cabernet-we call her Cabbie for short)-whose presence as a literal "devil" dog is yet to be determined. No really- she's sweet- but she's also a 50 pound puppy!

a good throwing session or three
I'm not sure if the bowl is big enough- I need to find the dimensions of the soap.
More spindle cups and the start of some yarn bowls too- trying out different sizes
Another soap dish with a lid- the disc on the right will have holes and will fit in the bowl
soap dishes-I want some of these to be squared or oval.
Getting bigger!
Cleaned and ready for the next time!
and bigger!!
The next bag of clay. I should have opened this a couple of days ago, it is SO soft.
Last night it was almost blowing a gale and this morning the recycling boxes were being blown along the road after the collection- they rumble quite impressively!
One tulip in the back yard had its stem snapped by the wind. This morning it was raining again, save for a brief respite at about 8am. I didn't expect to see Mountain Man, but he came down well wrapped up to tend the seedlings in his greenhouse. The rain gradually lifted and it was quite pleasant by 2pm After lunch I gave him a lift back up top, then came back and threw some bigger pots. They feel quite impressive- but wont be quite as good after the shrinkage in firing!!
The Oily One has gone climbing, and The Carpenter is building a wheel!!

It sounds like all go at yours today! We were 'chased' down the road by a recycle bin today and yes they do rumble loudly.
I saw ages ago some pot wool bowls and they had a bit of a lip like a funny shaped pouring spout - apparently the ball sat in the bowl and the yarn came through the spout which prevented the ball from bouncing out if pulled hard - did that make sense? I think they were made by an American potter.

@H, yarn bowls now have a cut in the rim shaped like an upsidedown comma

I have a soft spot for little bowls. And a great admiration for those who can throw big ones.

Hello gz, I thought is was time I came over to "meet you" properly. How wonderful that you are a potter, I have enjoyed reading about your work.
I am just about to read some older posts now. Blessings from Glastonbury.

I'd like a yarn bowl too -- a nice solid heavy one. Alas, it would cost a small fortune to ship it to me! Have you thought of a nice curved sided one that is globe shaped, with a lid that had a little "bite" out of one side like soup tureen lids have to fit around the ladle handle? That's where the yarn would come out. The lid would keep the ball of yarn from jumping out.
