If you're a parent, you've probably had numerous conversations with other moms and dads about the pros and cons of technology. Smartphones and iPads are great for keeping tabs on the kids, helping with their homework's, and yes entertaining them when mommy and daddy are too frazzled to do any more taxing than sitting on the couch with a good book, but there are downsides too.
Children seem to spend less and less time outdoors actually engaging with their peers, using their imagination and playing the kinds of old fashioned games that kept our generation fit. The problem is because they have so much to do indoors, many kids don't even want to venture outside. If you want to change that, check out these great tips for encouraging your kids to go outdoors:
Bling Up Your Backyard
If your backyard is boring, why would your kids want to go out there? If you don't have time to do it yourself, hire a handyman and have him install a swing set, jungle gym and perhaps even build a sturdy playhouse and you'll have your kids, and the neighbor's, flocking to your backyard whenever the weather is good.
Go to the Park
You're kids aren't going to spend time outside if you don't, so set a good example and schedule regular trips to the park with your children. Have family fun playing chase and hide and seek and take a picnic for lunch if you really want to get them excited for their outdoor playdates.
Go Camping
In the US, we are blessed with so many beautiful National Parks that it is a shame more children don't get to enjoy them. If your kids don't like the idea of roughing it for a weekend, get them engaged by teaching them a fee basic boy scout survival skills and telling them a few campfire stories to get them in the mood for the trip.
Limit Screen Time
You might not be popular for a while, but limiting the amount of time your kids can spend with their favorite devices (you might want to exempt e-readers) will force them to make their own fun and quite often that will involve going outdoors.
Feed the Birds
Birds are beautiful little creatures, and if you encourage more of them to come to your garden with bird feeders and boxes, your kids will fall in love with their antics and spend more time watching them and having real adventures than they do watching Adventure Time.
Give Them Chores
If your kid is old enough to do a few chores, you can incentivise them to get some fresh air by offering to pay them for every garden chore they complete. Not only will they get plenty of fresh air, but they'll come closer to nature, and they'll learn the value of hard work from an early age.
Have a Treasure Hunt
Creating outdoor activities which challenge your children and ensure they are able to have a lot of fun with their friends will make them want to go outside. Treasure hunts are a good choice because it allows kids to be competitive and there's always a prize at the end, but feel free to come up with your own outdoor games to get them engaged with the outside world.

Bollywood is a tough and a scary place to be. At one moment, you are reigning the box office, delivering blockbuster after blockbuster, and the next thing you know, your last five movies have failed miserably. Bollywood is so unpredictable; there is no fixed formula for success, unless you star in a Salman Khan film (but be prepared for Bhai to get all the glory). A super hit movie can have a super flop sequel, and even an SRK-starrer can tank. But that does not stop millions of newcomers dreaming of making it big in Bollywood. Some have gone ahead to fulfill their dreams, while some could not handle the pressures of the industry. Others were simply one-hit wonders. Take a look at some of these newbies, who disappeared after their debut films.
Diana Penty
The model turned actress was seen in Homi Adajania's 2012 rom-com Cocktail, alongside Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan. The movie was a commercial hit and the star trio shared amazing chemistry in the film. However, Penty was not seen on the screen again, until recently, where she was the lead actress in Happy Bhag Jayegi.
Vaani Kapoor
The actress is leading many headlines today, as she is all set to make her lead debut alongside Ranveer Singh in Aditya Chopra's Befikre. But do you remember her in the 2013 rom-com Shuddh Desi Romance? The actress was highly praised for her performance and won many debut awards for it. Three years later, she's back with a bang.
Gayatri Joshi
The actress made her film debut opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan in the 2004 drama film Swades. The movie received critical acclaim and Gayatri Joshi became the most promising newcomer of the year. But the actress never returned to the screen, preferring a quiet life instead.
Girish Kumar
The actor grabbed a lot of attention with his debut film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, where he starred opposite Shruti Haasan. His crazy antics and overwhelming energy showed signs of the next Ranveer Singh. However, the actor was not seen in another film, until the 2016 rom-com, Loveshhuda.
Armaan Jain
The Kapoor family spawn made his acting debut in the 2014 rom-com Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, produced by brother-in-law Saif Ali Khan. Like most Kapoor family debuts (Ranbir Kapoor's Saawariya, Kareena Kapoor's Refugee, and Karishma Kapoor's Prem Qaidi), the movie was a box office fail and the young star was not seen on screen again.
Poonam Pandey
Poonam Pandey is generally in the news for several controversial reasons, although not many know that she had made her Bollywood debut with the 2013 film Nasha. The bold posters featuring the actress, which were used for film promotions, irked a number of political parties. While this did not deter the young model, she has not been seen in a Bollywood movie since.
Ram Charan
While Chiranjeevi's son is a well-known actor in the South, he was not as lucky in Bollywood. His first and only Hindi movie cast him alongside actress Priyanka Chopra in the 2013 action-drama Zanjeer. The movie received mixed to negative reviews, but the Telugu version of the film did much better than the Bollywood one.

Dugan sends letter to Tribune on Nicarico plea
August 28, 2009
Denied an opportunity to read a statement in court after he pleaded guilty last month to the 1983 rape and murder of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico, Brian Dugan has written the Chicago Tribune to say his comments are "important enough to break my silence over. " "My main motivation in pleading guilty was to take responsibility for these crimes, express my remorse and for the truth to finally emerge," he wrote in the recent letter, concluding, "I don't deserve much, probably not anything at all, but I think everyone is entitled to the truth, no matter where it leads.
Dugan's confession from 1980s given to court
August 13, 2009
A defense attorney for Brian Dugan has filed a motion asking DuPage Circuit Court Judge George Bakalis to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against Dugan, who has pleaded guilty in the 1983 murder of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico. Attorney Allan Sincox argued Thursday the long delay makes it too difficult to find evidence for mercy. The defense also submitted a confession Dugan reportedly wrote in 1985 admitting raping and killing the Naperville girl. They contend Dugan wanted to clear two other men wrongly convicted in the case.
Judge orders testimony on Dugan plea talks
July 30, 2009
Kane County State's Atty. John Barsanti and former La Salle County State's Atty. Gary Peterlin have been ordered to give depositions about plea negotiations they had in 1985 with convicted murderer Brian Dugan. DuPage Judge George Bakalis on Thursday granted a request from Dugan's attorneys that the depositions be given. The defense attorneys are expected to question Barsanti and Peterlin about anything Dugan may have said to them about the 1983 murder of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico of Naperville Township, as well as two other murders they were investigating.
Dugan letter tells 'depth of my remorse'
July 29, 2009
Brian Dugan wanted to address the family of Jeanine Nicarico Tuesday afternoon when he pleaded guilty to the rape and murder of the 10-year old girl to tell them, "I wish you could look inside me and see the depth of my remorse. " Dugan, who now faces the possibility of receiving the death penalty for the Feb. 25, 1983, crime, brought a handwritten note in his jail jumpsuit pocket to read at the end of his guilty plea. But he was denied the chance by DuPage Judge George Bakalis, who said it was inappropriate to read it at that time.
Dugan pleads guilty to killing Jeanine Nicarico
July 28, 2009
It took nearly an hour Tuesday for the DuPage County prosecutor to tell the heartbreaking, 26-year-old story. Some in the audience wiped away tears as State's Atty. Joseph Birkett solemnly described the fingernail scratches 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico left on the wall that showed how she tried to fight off a would-be burglar. How Brian Dugan promised to take the girl home but instead killed her. The murder "went as perfectly as the others, but something was wrong," Brian Dugan told an Illinois State Police psychologist, Birkett recounted.
For Jeanine Nicarico's family, 'it's not over'
July 28, 2009
The most heartbreaking part for Tom Nicarico now is dealing with his grandchildren, he said. Nicarico and his wife, Patricia, parents of Jeanine, the 10-year-old schoolgirl who was abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered in 1983, have four young grandchildren. When the criminal case takes a newsworthy turn -- as it did Tuesday with Brian Dugan's guilty plea -- the Nicaricos find themselves forced into trying to protect the grandchildren from emotional damage. "They have to go through all this ugly stuff now," Nicarico said.
Dugan may plead guilty in Nicarico murder case
July 22, 2009
In a legal gambit to save his life, Brian Dugan may plead guilty as early as Tuesday to the 1983 murder of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico of Naperville, the Tribune has learned. A source said that defense attorneys are planning to tell DuPage Judge George Bakalis at a status hearing that Dugan, 50, will plead guilty to the horrific crime and then let a 12-person jury decide if he should receive the death penalty, which the state will seek. Dugan and his defense team believe Dugan has a better chance of receiving a life sentence if a jury only determines his sentence, not his guilt as well.
Motive in Dugan case confession to be disputed
April 30, 2009
Prosecutors will be allowed to counter statements that Brian Dugan saved two other men from Death Row when he confessed to the 1983 murder of Jeanine Nicarico by arguing that Dugan's intention was only to save himself from execution, a DuPage County judge ruled today. Dugan's defense attorneys told Judge George Bakalis last year that they are considering having Dugan plead guilty to the rape and murder of the 10-year-old Naperville girl so that a jury will decide only if he should get the death penalty.
Judge keeps Nicarico case under wraps
March 20, 2009
DuPage County prosecutors and defense attorneys for a man accused of the 1983 rape and murder of a 10-year-old Naperville girl met behind closed doors for about an hour Friday with a judge who said he continues to be "tremendously" concerned about tainting a potential jury pool. At the conclusion of the meeting, DuPage County Judge George Bakalis canceled a March 31 pre-trial hearing date in the case of Brian Dugan and set an April 30 status date. Dugan is facing the death penalty if convicted of the rape and murder of Jeanine Nicarico of Naperville.
Court nixes taped Dugan interview

The Illinois Supreme Court has reversed a ruling that would have allowed DuPage County prosecutors to videotape a psychiatrist's jailhouse interview of Brian Dugan, who faces the death penalty if he is convicted of the 1983 rape and murder of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico of Naperville. DuPage Judge George Bakalis last year approved a request from State's Attorney Joseph Birkett that the mental health evaluation be recorded. Birkett had argued that in order for the state to appropriately question the psychiatrist about his interview, prosecutors would need to know the context in which the questions were asked.

I've been cross-posting over at the ALSC and YALSA blogs lately (here, here, here), and this month, I missed my deadline. Not just missed it, I flat didn't write the post. I just totally forgot. I was horrified at myself because it's so unlike me.
Liz and I haven't been super regular posters like some of our other amazing librarian blogger friends, but I haven't had a post since June. JUNE. That's crazy, even for me.
Life at my library has been a little...difficult lately. I haven't had a branch manager (my immediate supervisor) since July. Both of the girls that work for me (a full-time position and a part-time position) unexpectedly left at the end of the summer. I spent the entire months of August and September doing three people's jobs, and y'all? I did not handle it well. In September, I did 21 programs BY MYSELF and then my body just shut down. I've taken more sick leave in the last two months than I did in the last year, which left NO ONE in my department (and then there was more guilt). Why did I try to do all of that? Because we have programming requirements and because I didn't want to disappoint the kids and because I didn't want to look bad and because there was no one else to do it and and and...the list goes on.
This post has been one of Library Lore's most successful. Read it and then come back and tell me how terrible I am at taking my own advice. I know.
Things are getting better. I have an excellent part-time assistant now and a full-time specialist starting in November. I'm telling myself over and over every day not to feel guilty for things I can't control.
I don't have much more to say other than this: We have to stop doing this to ourselves. I have to stop doing this to myself. If you're currently doing this to yourself, STOP. There has to be another way. Let us, as a community, help you find another way.
In FAR MORE FUN NEWS, Here's a list of some happenings in Ally's world:
- Marge Loch-Wouters came to Mississippi! I met her! I had dinner with her! She's an excellent hugger! It was awesome! AHHHH!
- My state library association conference is this week. I'm leaving today! It's one of my favorite things we can do. I recapped it last year, and I expect to have just as much fun this year.
- I had my annual fall open house for high school students and I had 241 teens show up! WOO! My biggest program number EVER.
- I've deciding that interviewing people is the actual worst thing ever. I hope I don't have to do it again for quite some time.
Hopefully we'll get back to a more regular posting schedule soon. Liz and I both love being part of this community. Thanks for being so supportive of us, especially on twitter. I wouldn't have survived the last few months without y'all.

Quotes About That Potent Blend
You are flawed, you are stuck in old patterns, you become carried away with yourself. Indeed you are quite impossible in many ways. And still, you are beautiful beyond measure. For the core of what you are is fashioned out of love, that potent blend of openness, warmth, and clear, transparent presence.Send Quote

Pressing his thumb down on her jaw to part her lips, he kissed her again, angel dust glittering in the air. "Mmm." She rubbed against him. "Did you make a change to your special blend?" Angel dust, he'd told her, was normally rich and exquisite, but not sexual. Elena had only ever tasted Raphael's blend, and it was always oh-so-sexual-today, it also held a dangerous bite. Kisses down her throat. "I wouldn't wish my consort to suffer ennui.Send Quote

Just as our bodies need proper food to live and develop, our souls need love to blossom. The strength and nourishment that love can give our souls is even more potent than the nourishing power of a mother's milk for a baby.Send Quote
Soils could also be giving up their carbon stores: evidence emerged in 2005 that a vast expanse of western Siberia was undergoing an unprecedented thaw. The region, the largest frozen peat bog in the world, had begun to melt for the first time since it formed 11,000 years ago. Scientists believe the bog could begin to release billions of tonnes of methane locked up in the soils, a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. The World Meteorological Organisation recently reported the largest annual rise of methane levels in the atmosphere for a decade.Send Quote
The interesting thing about Sherlock is that he is himself a reflection of that very English duality. As a drug addict, he is a criminal. But he is also a crime fighter. That makes him an extremely potent character to personify the hypocrisy of a culture that is both moralistic and corrupt.Send Quote
It is sometimes frightening to observe the success which comes even to the outlaw with a polished technique, and we find ourselves doubting the validity of the virtues we have been taught. But I believe we must reckon with character in the end, for it is as potent a force in world conflict as it is in our own domestic affairs. It strikes the last blow in any battle.Send Quote
Anne Boleyn is an intriguing character. She seems to appeal to modern-day women in a very potent way. Because she was such an independently opinionated and spirited young woman, which at the time was unheard of.Send Quote
The monk, the inquisitor, and the Jesuit were lords of Spain,- sovereigns of her sovereign, for they had formed the dark and narrow mind of that tyrannical recluse. They had formed the minds of her people, quenched in blood every spark of rising heresy, and given over a noble nation to a bigotry blind and inexorable as the doom of fate. Linked with pride, ambition, avarice, every passion of a rich, strong nature, potent for good and ill, it made the Spaniard of that day a scourge as dire as ever fell on man.Send Quote

Replace your motor with a turbine wind mill and put your magnets on a longer cylinder with a nice big fly wheel, add a much longer copper coil around the cylinder. You will not need to draw power from your system to re spin the string. It will still not be a perpetual motion machine but it would be much more efficient. You could def charge a battery bank. Replace all of your house lights with led's, and watch your electricity bill cut in half.
Basically a wind powered generator, but replacing The shaft with the string.
The TL;DR version is we now have a new entry for the Museum of unworkable devices
originally posted by: Night Star
I'm with Jess in wanting to congratulate you on your 150th thread, but I have no idea what you're talking about. LOL
This museum is a celebration of fascinating devices that don't work. It houses diverse examples of the perverse genius of inventors who refused to let their thinking be intimidated by the laws of nature, remaining optimistic in the face of repeated failures.
That's another entry for the same museum. At least Swanne explained his idea well enough to understand where it won't work, but I've never seen a good enough explanation of how that rarenergia contraption is supposed to work, though it really doesn't matter since no explanation would make it work. Anyway the best way to harvest energy from gravity is hydroelectric, though technically the original energy source is solar which evaporates the water so it can fall as rainfall and flow over the dam. I suppose tidal energy could be considered a form of energy extraction which actually works partly based on gravity, but I think the real source is actually coming from the angular momentum of the Earth, which holds a lot more energy than Swanne's twisted string, but it's not infinite so we could slow the Earth's rotation if we extract too much that way. The Earth's rotation is already slowing even without that, though not very much on human time scales.

Hi Marcus, Happy Valentines day!! Love Brenda xxxx
I know you have thousands of people who write to you everyday and I am just considered an "ant" in your world, but that does not deter me from writing you this message because Marcus and Mumford and Sons have saved my life. I love all of your music, beyond explanation, but your song 'Ghosts That We Knew' literally saved my life. I did not want to live, and at times I still struggle with this today but your music instantly changes my mood and my heart. Your music and your talent is extremely special and no one has ever touched me the way you guys have touched me. Your talent, again, is one of a kind and something so rare and special. Your lyrics, "And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view, and we'll live a long life" are my next tattoo. Not to mention, that song, if I could, would be tatted on my body if I could afford it.
I was suppose to move to Costa Mesa, CA in April, but plans did not work out until June. It was meant to be because when I found out in January that my plans were pushed back..the first thing that came to mind was Mumford and Sons in Philly in May 2017 in Camden, NJ. I said to all my family, pitch in to get me the best possible seats for your concert. My father pulled through and although it still wasn't close enough…he got us pretty damn close.
I apologize for a rant that you may never see or reply to, but let me say thank you. You speak to my heart and my soul, you have saved my life, you are all so talented and beautiful, and please never ever stop the music. You touch so many lives that can't even reach out to you.
Much love,
Karlie S. Barnes
I'm not exactly sure where to write this, but it's the only place I've found a prompt. I lost a really good friend a couple months back and the last time we hung out was listening to your music. It's always been my dream to see you guys in concert, but more so now that it makes me think of him every time I listen to it. Your music moves me more every time and even though I'm upset, it lifts me up. I hope you guys play a show soon in the states. I'm done saying I will see you guys and putting it off. I NEED to, and I will. Please keep on with the amazing, uplifting music!
Happy Birthday Macus !! Enjoy !
Dear Marcus, Happy Birthday !!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day and may you have many many more.
Hey guys. My wife and I are coming down to Inglewood to see your concert on Friday, and we could not be more excited. Ever since we heard the likes of Sigh No More, you guys have been our absolute favorite, and I don't see that changing. Seeing you perform live is an absolute dream come true for both of us, but especially for her. Your music really resonates with her, and it has honestly changed both of our lives for the better. To top it off, January 19th is actually her birthday! The only thing that would make it better was if you could give some kind of birthday shout out some time during your show on Friday the 19th: Her name is Hannah Tibbett. She would honestly faint if she received a shout out from you! It would be a wonderful birthday surprise, and something she would never forget. I cannot tell you how much I would appreciate it if you could do that for her, and regardless, we cannot wait to see you guys live!
Hi guys. My sister is a huge fan of yours, she is getting married on the 24th of February, and she is using one of your new songs with Babba as their first dance song. I was wondering if there is any way that I could get a video of you wishing her well on her special day and her marriage. I know that this would be the best surprise in the world and make her day even better.
This is weird, a little, but I'm going to do it anyway.
I think, of all the favorite bands I have had in the past, days when I thought I would never feel for anyone else's music what I felt for the Spice Girls, then Simple Plan, then My Chemical Romance, then The Band, none has resonated with me more than Mumford and Sons.
White Blank Page came on my Manchester Orchestra channel on Pandora when I was 17, and I swear I've never been quite the same.
I am now 24, and I have still never seen Mumford and Sons live, which is almost poetic. Petrarch never met Laura, right?
But I just want each of you to know that Mumford and Sons holds a special place in my heart. Even hearing a past cover of Come Thou Fount on YouTube left a lasting enough impression on me that I now have a line from the hymn tattooed on my person.
I hope you never stop sharing this special thing you have with the world – at least in some way, shape, or form. Your music has found me in some of my darkest times, and it's stirred something there.
I just played "Unfinished Business" for the fourth time in a row tonight, and felt the overwhelming need to say thanks.
So: I don't really know how much a stranger's thanks means, but thank you. For everything. Truly.
If you could please view Pa line on You tube They remind me so much of you. They are working hard and deserve a break They are form Lancaster NY outside of Buffalo and would be an amazing opening act for you. You make beautiful music and I so enjoy hearing you. Thank you for listening Please email me for more details Enjoy their show
Please!! Came back to Argentina!!
The Prague show last year was the best I'vd ever been to. Miss you like hell, please come again soon…yoh promised to, after all. Luv what you do. Regards, Kristina
Please come CRASH our prom and play a session at our prom! This would be super awesome for the seniors' special night AND great PR for your band… also, we live on a beautiful island in NE FL that would give your families and crew a nice little relaxing break…please don't rule this out… just talk it over and get back to US! AND …. WE will wait… WE will wait for YOU!
Hi guys!! I'm Lina Mendieta from Mexico, I just want to tell you that I love your songs and I have all your albums, so I want to thank you because your songs helped me overcome a depression that I go through, do not stop doing what you do !! I love you and I look forward to your new album !!
To Mumford and Sons,
Hi! My name is Rachel Henderson Spain. My sister, Allie, and I love your music. I have so many memories of us taking car rides with your songs blaring and the two of us singing together, from the time I started to drive and she was riding with me, to when she started driving and I took to the passenger seat. Your songs made us laugh, sing, and share sweet time together. We hoped that one day we would be able to see you in concert. Unfortunately, we were never able to have that memory.
My sister, Allie, passed away a few months ago on March 21, 2017 in a car accident with her friend, Mason. She was 1 month shy of turning 17 years old. I can't describe to you the pain of losing her, and the yearning that I have to be with her again. Despite death, I have a hope and joy even in this tragedy because I know that one day we will be together in Heaven, and there will be no more goodbyes, tears, sadness, or loss. It will be the most beautiful of happy endings, that will never ever end. She trusted her life to Jesus Christ. Her choice to believe and accept the incredible love of her Creator gave her assurance of life beyond death. My beautiful, brave little sister has taken on death and is experiencing the great, glorious, and incredible Unknown. She is safe and she is Home. Her story has helped others, her story has helped me, to see that life is short, time is precious, and nothing is more important than giving your life to the One who breathed it into existence. We miss her every moment of every day, but I have to be thankful that she was loved, that she lived, and in knowing that she is still out there. She exists and she is. She is as beautiful and strong and whole as ever. I thank God that this life is not the end, and that He promises hope, redemption, and reunion for those that love Him.
I want to thank you for your songs. When I hear them, I am reminded of being in high school, of falling in love with my now wonderful husband, spending times with friends and family, enduring the pain and confusion of divorce, and taking those special rides with my sister, and now, through grieving over the loss of her in my life. It is incredible how music can be such a huge part of our life moments, old and new. One song can carry with it so many memories. And those memories become so precious when they are all you have left of someone on this earth. It is a special gift, and I am thankful that you have given that to me, and to my sister. She is experiencing the most wonderful and beautiful music and color and life and love imaginable, I know. But, I like to think that maybe when I listen to our favorite songs, she can hear them and maybe sing-a-long just for a moment with me.
We started a fund in her honor and memory, The Allie Grace Henderson Memorial Scholarship Fund. With the love and generosity of wonderful friends and family, her fund has over $25,000. We plan to use it for ministry, missions, and school scholarships. We want her life and legacy to continue to live on, inspire, encourage, and support others.
I have had this crazy idea to organize a Friends with Benefit Concert Series. (I have to admit, I completely stole that title from One Tree Hill…) I thought it would be great to bring together some of our favorite artists to our small but special hometown, Lexington, TN, and share some of our favorite songs with people that she loved and that loved her. I have reached out to The Lumineers, The Oh Hellos, and The Head and the Heart with no response yet. I have a list of artists that I plan to contact to see if they could be a part of this benefit concert in her memory. I would love to have your music and story introduced to our hometown: to celebrate life, to celebrate the hope that can be found even in death through Christ, and the joy that music can bring to our lives. I know you probably get emails and requests all of the time, and I know you are incredibly busy and traveling all over the world. But, I have learned that beautiful moments can be made, sometimes we just don't have the courage to ask, to facilitate them. My sister has helped to give me the courage to make my life as full and beautiful as I can, not just for myself, but for her memory, for my family and friends, for community, and all to glorify Christ with the beautiful gifts and blessings that He has given. One of those gifts is your talent and the opportunity to share your music.
I am asking that you consider performing in our hometown in memory of Allie Grace, to raise money for her fund that will be used to help others, to bring people together with music, and create an experience that she would have absolutely loved.
Thank you for your time. Thank you for your music.

Hi, Mumford and Sons,. Just want you to know that you are my 10 year old autistic Grandson's favorite band! He loves Wildermind and Sigh No More the best but also loves I Will Wait for You on the Babel album. We listen to the 3 albums in the car all the time and he likes to sit in the car until he's heard all of them. He has been approved for music therapy and your music is approved for this therapy. He has a music room where he goes and plays his drum set and listens to your music. It is some of his happiest times. We are trying to find affordable the cites to Music Midtown in Atlanta. Any chance he could come back stage to meet you? Thank you for your music. And for making my sweet boy happy!!!!!!

Congratulations on your new position! Your climb to the top is well deserved. But when the shine wears off, you soon may be faced with a HUGE problem for which you were not prepared:
Your biggest challenge is not mastering the technical aspects of your job. That's the easy part.
The biggest challenge you (and one you may find you have the least control over which has the biggest impact on your success) is your team's ability to work together with ease.
Because people bring their stress, negativity and sometimes difficult personalities to work, they can't just leave their emotions at the door when they come to work.
And, you can't do it either. Emotions are contagious!
#1: Emotions are contagious! Literally. The human brain contains "mirror neurons" which are like antennae for emotion (e-motion = energy in motion).
Strategy #1: When you find the person you are talking to beginning to get "stressed out" (i.e., holding their breath, raising their voice, tensing their jaw or fists) ….
When you are truly listening to the other person and get a response you were not going for or are surprised about (their frustration, for example), use the steps above to "Check in and check it out…" Then, listen again to their response (what they thought they heard you say will not be what you meant). Don't see this as your opportunity to get angry, just take a "re-do" and say, "Okay, you heard me say (blah blah blah), can I say it differently?" Asking permission seldom gets a "no" so you will likely get a "yes." Then rephrase your statement and move forward.
What is your best advice to new senior managers when it comes to turning conflict into consensus?
Your ability to address, manage and eliminate conflict will have a direct impact on your team's ability to have confidence and to put their unquestioned trust you and your leadership skills.
NEWSFLASH: Your team makes this decision within your first few days (or hours) on the job. Everyone's watching to see if you fall back down the corporate ladder.
And a few might even be taking bets on how long you last … You need these skills.

Peter Bosz conceded the occasion got to his young Ajax side as they limped to a disappointing 2-0 Europa League final defeat against Manchester United.
Ajax have drawn plaudits for their free-flowing, vibrant football in Europe's secondary competition this season, but the showpiece in Stockholm proved a step too far as goals from Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan sent United into next season's Champions League.
The team named by Bosz was the youngest ever in a major European final and the Ajax coach is sure his squad will learn from the experience.
"Like I said, they're not used these young kids to play a final, it's all new for them," he told a post-match news conference.
"They will learn a lot from it, they will become stronger. If we can keep the squad together we will become stronger for sure.
"It's difficult to come from behind against a well organised team, the second half we were barely out of the dressing room.
"We were not good enough, we didn't have a lot of chances."

The match was played just two days after Monday's atrocities in Manchester in which 22 people were killed and 59 injured as a result of an attack by a suicide bomber following an Ariana Grande concert.
And Bosz believes the emotion of the occasion affected both teams.
"Of course I think so, we talked about it," he added. "In the media there was a lot going on also.
"Obviously both sides were affected, but once you play the final I think from that moment you forget it, you have to play."

Not only do I have more nail polishes than anyone really needs, but I'm also guilty of buying colors based off their names. Wouldn't you love to be the person who decides on nail polish names? Sign me up for that job!
Here are six winter colors that are pretty and also have cool names!
St.Petersburgundy by OPI – A beautiful deep, dark, winter red. Two coats makes for an even bolder and more dramatic look.
Plumberry by Essie – A bold and versatile watermelon-red shade that can easily be worn all four seasons. It has a playful brightness without feeling too much like a summer color.
Through the Grapevine by Wet N Wild – A nice plumy purple with warm red undertones. A great choice for a girl who doesn't love overly dark colors and wants something seasonal that isn't red.
Wined Up by Sally Hansen – It's a stunning bold and daring burgundy color that catches the light well. This formula also dries within minutes!
Mochacino by Essie – This color is hard to explain. It has hints of brown, gray, and quite a bit of sparkle. It's a deep winter neutral and great alternative to the classic reds of the season.
Color to Diner For by OPI – A true Christmas red color with pretty sparkles that remind me of tensile. It's easily my favorite color of the season.

As many Americans are coming to terms with the results of the election, Bernie Sanders' supporters are feeling especially vindicated and are speaking out.
During the campaign, Sanders' supporters said he had the best shot at beating President-elect Donald Trump, had an advantage over Hillary Clinton in reaching out to working-class voters, and could put together a progressive agenda that Clinton could not.
"Schadenfreude," Philip Werlau, a Bernie Sanders supporter, told NPR when asked his feelings about this week's election results. "That is the German word for taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune. … Because I don't want Trump to be president. But I'm happy that what I perceived as unfair tactics lost."
Many Sanders supporters felt that the Democratic National Committee treated them unfairly, especially after DNC emails obtained by WikiLeaks showed that the DNC worked against Bernie Sanders.
"It's far beyond perception at this point; it's factual that the party leadership definitely put its hands on the scale for Secretary Clinton," said Dallas Fowler, a Sanders delegate-turned-Clinton voter from Los Angeles. "And I think post-primary not dealing with that effectively as a party drove a number of people [away from Clinton]."
Most Sanders supporters backed Clinton in the general election because the hope for many Democrats was that she would move further to the left after the convention.
And she did, most notably with a college affordability plan that borrowed from Sanders' plan.
But some Sanders' voters did not deem that sufficient.
Sanders himself issued a statement about how Trump tapped into middle and working-class voters this election.
"Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics, and the establishment media," he said.
Both progressives and more centrist Democrats agreed and are seeking a way forward for the 2018 midterm elections and the 2020 presidential election.

One of the most beautiful designs ever [road-legal !]
Reference Number 12815
as of 8/14/2018
This car is one of two race cars built for the 1964 "24 Hours of Le Mans" by Charles Deutsch and his Team, in cooperation with Panhard for the engine. This was the very last official Panhard prototype race car ; it was also the very first attempt to use the "ground effect" to stabilise a racing car at high speed and icnrease its road-holding.
This car, chassis #001 retired after 14 hours (lasting longer than #002).
After the race it was used by Michelin for high speed tire tests, then belonged to an important collector in Bretagne (France).
This important car has been carefully restored by EPAF - a specualised Team composed of former Matra and Alpine race engineers and technicians - and is now in full racing condition, absolutely authentic and incredibly rare, with only two CD LM64 ever built.

Let me start this post with a disclaimer of sorts: I'll be the first to admit that have an opinion on just about everything. And even though I've been in Arkansas for a year now, I still keep tabs on what's going on in the Dallas area — particularly since I spent so many years in D/FW and still have many friends and colleagues there.
All that said, there are lessons we can learn from reading and watching the news. I admittedly try to limit my consumption of it, since it is clinically proven as bad for our health. Still, the events of the past nine days have been eye-opening to me — and I've been reminded of some tough lessons in leadership that are perhaps worth sharing.
For those of you unfamiliar with the big story from the D/FW metroplex, on Father's Day (June 20) the adult son of the brand-spanking new Dallas Police Chief, David Brown, Sr. (in that position for about two months) killed Lancaster police Officer Craig Shaw as Shaw responded to the call of a shooting at an apartment complex. (Click here to read the original story from WFAA). According to the report, "the Lancaster officer — a five-year veteran of the force and the father of two children — was answering a 'shooting in progress' call around 6 p.m. when there was an exchange of gunfire."
A 37-year-old five-year officer — a husband and father of two children — was killed on Father's Day by the son of the new Dallas Police Chief.
OK, so it's a bad situation already. A tragic loss of life for a family. The only officer killed in the line of duty in the history of the Lancaster department. And a pretty rough start, I'd say, for the new head of DPD, who must deal with not only the loss of an area officer who was killed by his son — but also with the loss of the son himself — also killed in the incident.
Fast forward to Sunday, June 27, after a full week of a news dominated by coverage of the incident, the aftermath, and the preparations for the funeral of a police officer.
Just when you think a situation couldn't get any worse . . . well, it does.
(Click here for that part of the story.) Essentially, in the chief's absence, two assistant chiefs made a grave mistake by calling multiple Dallas officers to escort the funeral procession for the chief's son, David Brown, Jr. Apparently this assignment was not made long before the officers' primary assignment of escorting the same-day funeral procession for the Lancaster officer who was killed in the line of duty — by the Dallas chief's son.
With profound empathy for all involved in this terrible situation, I share the view of countless others — that this decision, regardless of the reason, was not only wrong; it was also offensive to the family of Officer Shaw. I admit that being the brother of a state trooper makes me particularly sympathetic to this salt in an open wound.
Now the escort debacle doesn't materially change the situation even one bit. Two men are dead. Two men are buried. Many friends and family members are left to pick up the pieces and somehow move on in light of the reality of their passings.
However, this awful situation highlights some key principles of leadership, among them:
- Leaders must be prepared to lead. Crises happen every day in our lives. Situations demand quick response time. The problem is that when leaders lack the judgment to make sound decisions under pressure, then insult is added to injury and fuel to fire.
- Leaders must be willing to accept responsibility. When a gaffe as big as this funeral procession fiasco happens, ownership means saying 'I'm sorry' — not defending the bad decision to the nth degree.
- Leaders must be willing to intentionally surround themselves with other solid leaders. No individual is an island unto himself. Those who constitute a leader's nucleus of support must be capable of stepping up to the plate and delivering effective results, consistent with the collective integrity of the organization's members.
- Leaders must be willing to learn from the lessons of life. No one could have predicted something like this. Nothing can undo the damage that has been done. No words can assuage the raw hurt. Time alone does not heal wounds; it's what we do with the time that counts. Leaders do well to reflect on their decisions in the company of others for the purpose of identifying any clouded judgments or possible blind spots.
Situations like this take time to process. Every day many of us face challenges in leadership on a different scale, but nonetheless challenges which we must be competent to handle. When people begin to view us as incompetent, lacking confidence, or belligerent, it's probably time to start packing the bags — because leadership demands respect, and respect demands trust. Without those two essentials, one is not really leading anyone. He's merely taking a walk.
And not a one of us is exempt from that harsh standard of evaluation. Only by the power of Christ can we lead well through the hills and valleys of life.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered
March 8, 2011 was a very good day. That afternoon, with the aroma of fresh landscape bark and drying paint wafting through the air, the moving vans arrived at our newly completed home and after a long, arduous, twenty-six months, our relocation from Seattle was complete. Okay, okay, it wasn't quite complete (more on that, below) but it was close enough to declare victory. We were officially moved in!
The whole construction process went very well. There were a few gotcha's and a few coulda-shoulda-woulda's and we ended up taking eleven months instead of the planned ten, but all-in-all everything turned out great. Valerie still calls it "Ron's house" but she kinda likes her mega-sized pantry, great kitchen, and outdoor pizza oven. We both especially love the screened porch and spent nearly every summer evening out there reading, watching TV, and listening to the cicadas.
Camp Bell – We Hardly Knew Ya
Although March 8 was a milestone for moving into our new home, we did have the little matter of selling good ol' Camp Bell, our temporary fixer-upper house on the other side of town. Although Camp Bell had good bones, it was vintage 1975 and was fairly rough around the edges. We spent a year-plus in remodel hell (there, I said it) painting, grouting, spackling, flooring, fixing, wiring, plumbing, landscaping, etc. Our goal was to make Camp Bell spotless and move-in-ready so it would stand out from the many other comparable houses for sale in the area.
Over the year we watched the real estate sales numbers decline and cringed at our prospects. The move didn't kill us, the construction didn't kill us, the remodel of Camp Bell didn't kill us, but sitting on an unsold Camp Bell in a tanking market for who-knows-how-long might do us in.
Well…Camp Bell went on the market on Monday, April 11. There was a showing on Saturday, April 16. We had an offer on Sunday, April 17. And, we closed the deal on Tuesday, May 17, five weeks after Camp Bell went up for sale. With the right house in perfect condition in the right neighborhood at the right price being marketed by a super real estate agent it is possible to sell a house in today's tough market!
Unfinished Business
We're not sure what took longer, packing 369 boxes or unpacking them. Needless to say, you know what we've been doing since we moved in. The phrase "Hey, do you remember this thing!?" has been said too many times to count. As of last week there was still one unopened box under the living room bench seat. It has a label on it so we could look up what's inside, but, as they say, if we haven't needed it by now…
One thing that contributed to our long unpacking process was that we chose not to finish the workshop when we finished the house. Ron had planned to work on it, himself, but March became July became September and he finally (with Valerie's prodding) decided to just let Steve, our builder, finish it. Wow! That was a great decision. Steve does awesome finish work and the shop came out way better than we expected! We've spent the last few weeks unpacking those boxes, putting away long lost tools, and getting ready to be crafty, again.
Our Local Fauna – Bear and Delinquents
Although our house is just one mile from downtown Asheville we live in the woods. Lots are large and homes are sparse and the further you go up Town Mountain towards the Blue Ridge Parkway the fewer people and the more wildlife you see. Turkey, fox, coyote, bobcat, and black bear are common sights. In the late summer and fall as the bear search for food they become a bit too common. We had bear within peach-throwing distance of our house or along Serena's walk nearly every day. Ron had to shoo one away that was sitting in our front yard eating berries off a bush, and Serena, on two occasions, chased one down the street. They are skittish and will respond to yelling and hand waving but it is a bit unnerving to walk out the door or round a bend in the road and happen upon a 250lb bear sitting there staring at you.
While the bear come from the woods, our other local fauna, delinquents, comes from downtown. We live in the only house on a dead-end street about 500' from the end. The dead-end was created in 1977 when Interstate 240 was cut through the mountain and split Vance Gap Road. Our neighbors tell us that since then our street has been a magnet for mischief-makers. Luckily, we only had one incident during construction when someone stole the American flag from our front porch.
Wait, what? Someone stole your flag? Yep. It was a she, last January, in the dark of night. She ripped it from the flagpole and ran back to her car. We caught the whole thing with our security cameras. Ron reported it to channel 13 and sent them the video. Next thing we know the news crew is out front and Ron is being interviewed on TV to tell the sordid tale. They ran the story, "Our Top Story, Tonight", for several days. The thief was never caught, but hopefully, with her picture splattered all over the TV, she and her family were thoroughly embarrassed.
Won't You Be My Neighbor
Our neighborhood is not all bear and delinquents. The people who live here are fantastic and are a good match for us. Everyone's laid back, friendly and inviting. Being on a quiet street, we have dog walkers going by the house throughout the day – Serena likes that. Wayne and Sally hold fantastic, over-the-top, dinner parties. We held a tamalada (a tamale making party) and have had neighbors over for ribs and pizza. Ron's found a couple BBQ buddies and Valerie will be looking at starting a Town Mountain Book Club.
A Walk in the Woods
With our relocation fun behind us and our hiking boots unpacked we were able to get out and explore the area this summer. Every Friday the Blue Ridge Parkway rangers hold guided hikes on trails along the parkway and we made it out for at least a half dozen. The rangers talk about the history of the area, the geology of the region, and the plants and animals we might see. This was a great way for us to learn about the mountains of North Carolina and to get some exercise as well. We also went hiking several times on our own. One of our favorite hikes was on the Laurel River Trail, and old abandoned railroad bed, near the North Carolina/Tennessee line. On that hike we got to check something unique off our bucket list: "Saw a live rattlesnake in the wild!"
Other fun things we did…Asheville Tourist Baseball, Brewgrass Beer Festival, Texas Instruments/Siemens reunion, Ribfest, Asheville Food and Wine Festival, Western North Carolina Chef's Challenge, Biltmore House, Grove Park Inn Gingerbread Festival, Belle Chere Summer Festival, Southern Highlands Craft Guild Show, Big Crafty, numerous plays and shows at the Diane Wortham Theatre, and last but not least…Discount Shoes! Hey, even Ron has been seen shopping there!
Miles and Smiles
It had been a long long time since we had been on a vacation so we made it a point to get away this year. Our first trip was to visit Cara and Mike in Phoenix. We had a great time doing the educational-tourist thing visiting Meteor Crater and the Titan Missile Museum (two must see sights). We got our vortex spiritual fulfillment walking around Sedona and, Cara and Mike, being fellow foodies, took us to several great restaurants for hot and spicy Southwest food.
In November we returned to St. John, USVI, for ten days. It was our fourth visit! We love the place for the views, beaches, snorkeling, food, and relaxation. It's so much easier to get to now that we're on the east coast. We rented One Particular Harbour, a house that we stayed at in 2004, high on the hill overlooking Coral Bay. On this visit we found a couple new bays to snorkel (glad we had a Jeep) and we sampled true local food at two hole-in-the-wall restaurants – Clean Plates (love that name) and Vie's Snack Shack. We had a surprise, but very welcome, guest this time. Valerie's sister, Pat, called the day we arrived and said she was coming, too. To quote Southwest Airlines: "Gotta Get Away!"
In June we attended a mini-reunion of a bunch of the people we worked with at TI and Siemens. My how we've grown up. We were just kids back then. It was great fun reminiscing old times and hearing what everyone has been doing for the last twenty years. The common theme seems to be that they're all very ready to become empty-nesters.
Living closer to family we had lots of visitors this year: Mom and Dad Patton (twice); Linda, Steve and Sarah; Pat and Jack; Cindy and Jeremy; Aunt Edith and Cousin Denny. We also made some family visits: Ron to San Antonio and Pittsburgh and Valerie to Indiana.
Next Year
What's in store for next year? Hmmm…Making a trip to Seattle. Crafting in our new shop. Celebrating Ron's big Five-Oh birthday. Volunteering. Taking classes at Blue Ridge Food Ventures. Chasing Bear. Europe? Ron might even look at finding a paying gig…
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Ron and Valerie

A garage door opener is a comparatively simple device that can be often troubleshooted by a person without much relevant experience. Sometimes, the solution is as easy as just moving the remote within range of the garage door opener or replacing the battery, while in other cases you'll need an expert Whisper troubleshooting guide, like the one below.
|My door will not close and the light bulbs blink on my motor unit:
|The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
• Verify the safety reversing sensors are properly installed, aligned and free of any obstructions.
• Check diagnostic LED for flashes on the motor unit
|My remotes will not activate the door:
|• Verify your Multi-Function Door Control is not blinking. If it is blinking, deactivate the Lock Mode following the instructions for Using the Multi-Function Door Control.
• Reprogram remotes following the programming instructions.
• If remote will still not activate your door, check diagnostic LED for flashes on motor unit
|My door reverses for no apparent reason:
|Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments to force or travel limits. The need for occasional adjustment for the force and limit settings is normal. Weather conditions in particular can affect door travel.
• Manually check door for balance or any binding problems.
|My door reverses for no apparent reason after fully closing and touching the floor:
|Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments to force or travel limits. The need for occasional adjustment for the force and limit settings is normal. Weather conditions in particular can affect door travel.
• Go to Adjustment Step 1, Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel Limits. Decrease down travel by turning down limit adjustment screw clockwise.
|My lights will not turn off when door is open:
|• The garage door opener is equipped with a security light feature. This feature activates the light on when the safety reversing sensor beam has been obstructed.
|My motor unit hums briefly:
|• First verify that the trolley is against the stop bolt.
• Release the door from the opener by pulling the Emergency Release Rope.
• Manually bring the door to a closed position.
• Loosen the belt by adjusting the outer nut 4 to 5 turns. This relieves the tension.
• Run the motor unit from the remote control or door control. The trolley should travel towards the door and stop. If the trolley re-engages with the door, pull the Emergency Release Rope to disengage.
• Decrease the UP travel by turning the UP Travel adjustment screw 2 full turns awayUom the arrow.
• Re-Tighten the outer nut until the trolley spring is approximately 1-1/4" (3.18 cm) in length.
• If the trolley does not move away from the bolt, repeat the steps above.
|1 flash
Safety reversing sensors wire open (broken or disconnected).
2 flashes
Safety reversing sensors wire shorted or black/white wire reversed.
|One or both of the Indicator lights on the safety sensors do not glow steady.
• Inspect sensor wires for a short (staple in wire), correct wiring polarity (black/white wires reversed), broken or disconnected wires, replace/attach as needed.
• Disconnect all wires from back of motor unit.
• Remove sensors from brackets and shorten sensor wires to 1-2 ft (30-60 cm) from back each of sensor.
• Reattach sending eye to motor unit using shortened wires. If sending eye indicator light glows steadily, attach the receiving eye.
• Align sensors, if the indicator lights glow replace the wires for the sensors. If the sensor indicator lights do not light, replace the safety sensors.
|3 flashes
Door control or wire shorted.
|LED is not lit on door control.
• Inspect door control/wires for a short (staple in wire), replace as needed.
• Disconnect wires at door control, touch wires together. If motor unit activates, replace door control.
• If motor unit does not activate, disconnect door control wires from motor unit. Momentarily short across red and white terminals with jumper wire. If motor unit activates, replace door control wires.
|4 flashes
Safety reversing sensors slightly misaligned (dim or flashing LED).
|Sending indicator light glows steadily, receiving indicator light is dim or flashing.
• Realign receiving eye sensor, clean lens and secure brackets.
• Verify door track is firmly secured to wall and does not move.
|5 flashes
Motor overheated or possible RPM sensor failure. Unplug to reset.
|Motor has overheated; the motor unit does not operate or trolley is stuck on stop bolt = Motor unit hums briefly; RPM Sensor = Short travel 6-8" (15-20 cm).
• Unplug unit to reset. Try to operate motor unit, check diagnostic code.
• If it is still flashing 5 times and motor unit moves 6-8" (15-20 cm), replace RPM sensor.
• If motor unit doesn't operate, motor unit is overheated. Wait 30 minutes and retry. If motor unit still will not operate replace logic board.
|6 flashes
Motor Circuit Failure. Replace Receiver Logic Board.
|Motor unit doesn 7 operate.
• Replace logic board because motor rarely fails.
