Jersey City's Allen "Prince" Brown began his pimping ways in grammar school, continued in high school, and finally hit the big time in New York City 30 years ago.
"She (his prostitute) took me to 42nd Street, took her clothes off and was in a G-string and started working," said Brown, a former resident of Jersey City's Society Hill, during a recent interview at his current home, the Hudson County jail in Kearny.
"I was a young kid and was doing roller-skating shows at the Roxy and she asked me to be her pimp," Brown said. "She handed me like $500."
That's when he knew, he said, had had found his true calling: "catching girls."
Brown, 48 -- who sports a wild hairdo that became an Internet sensation after The Jersey Journal posted his photo on its Hudson County Now website -- was sentenced to 18 years in prison on May 19 after he pleaded guilty to human trafficking and running a prostitution ring.
Brown bragged that he had 42 women turning tricks for him. As early as the 8th-grade, he was convincing "frisky girls" to have sex with men and give him the money, he said.
At Lincoln High, he had three girls selling their bodies to keep him living large, he added.
"But let me clarify one thing: these girls were already prostitutes," Brown said. "They were high school prostitutes...They lasted for about two years and then they drifted off."
|Interview with the 'Prince'
Authorities say Brown is glossing over some ugly facts -- namely that he enslaved women and girls, forced them to turn tricks, extorted one woman's inheritance, and hooked some women on heroin.
Brown denied any violence and said he held no one against their will. He said he took a lot of chances getting drugs for them, and in a way, they were using him. He was also a father figure in their lives, he said.
"They needed to sit down and talk to someone who would totally understand them -- let them know that even though they were in this life, there would be better days ahead with me," Brown said.
"They had the right to choose if they wanted to be with me or be with some gorilla pimp that was probably busting their heads open," he added.
For his understanding and subtleties, he said, his women rewarded him and other pimps feared him.
"They would call me Prince Darby, the world's greatest whore catcher and my girls would make me live up to that title," said the soft-spoken Brown. "When I would come on the streets, some of the pimps would grab their girls and actually leave the working area."
It's no surprise, said Brown, that that Internet surfers enjoy viewing his image and reading about him.
"I'm a pimp, so let's just say I like to look good," Brown said. "Most people are intrigued by my lifestyle. I'm something like a dark knight. It's a secret society that we live in that's rarely exposed to square workers."
Brown, who is writing an autobiography and has ambitions to become a preacher, said he pleaded guilty because authorities threatened to lock up his 73-year-old mother, the owner of the Society Hill property where lived and held his prostitutes.
"She is a church-going woman," Brown said about his mother. "She is retired from a telephone company. She has worked her whole life.
"I feel terrible," Brown added. "And now I don't even know if I can see her alive."
Brown said his mom always told him he had the "gift" to become a minister. She didn't understand "that I was saving lives," Brown remarked.
When he gets out of prison, he plans to become a man of the cloth, he said.
"I think I could handle the congregation pretty swell," Brown said. "I am a leader. I have never been a follower...Yeah, it will be a fun parish. Put that down, become a man of God."

Here is an attention-grabbing case from the Illinois Appellate Court, but earlier than I comment on it, let me say that I have not learn the case itself. I am sorry to have to tell you, that regardless of the entire reward and adulation heaped upon Attorney James T. Flaherty, it seems to me that the general public picture is pretty much all faux. The Texas Access to Justice Foundation (TAJF) gives funding to over 40 authorized support organizations throughout the state. Office (646) 568-7202 additionally other places contains, Jersey City Office 35 Journal Square, 4th Floor Jersey City, NJ 07306 and Hackensack Office Court Plaza South – West Wing 21 Main Street, Suite 205 Hackensack, New Jersey 07601. Attorney Adam David Cahn can be reached at legislation agency Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss, LLP 150 Broadway Rm 1307, New York, NY, 10038.
I wrote them I wished to Inquire if employed and suggested I had no alternative however to confess to all there was not less than 4 folks and accused in workplace every assembly. To everybody that's still struggling as an legal professional: there is no such thing as a rule that claims you need to stay an lawyer. Kidnapping and extortion is what I experienced among rather more judicial and lawyer misconduct. However, denying individuals their Constitutional rights and due technique of law to that finish is not the way in which.
You could also be safer in case you are represented by an legal professional who has consistent experience in representing injured persons fairly than insurance corporations. For example, when you have a Power of Attorney in place right now, check out the primary line. Now you can ask a lawyer or lawyer if you happen to can sue for defamation of character from libel or slander and punitive damages, nevertheless, a variety of attorneys and attorneys have a consultation charge simply to debate what's or shouldn't be a violation of your rights.
However, with the constant attacks in opposition to the SSD system usually (and legal professional reps particularly), I'm simply glad that we have now appeared to dodge the political arrows coming our method in the intervening time and can now simply give attention to our shoppers and observe. It is advisable that everybody is proactive in acquiring a power of attorney early in life earlier than something life-altering occurs. Sometimes and modification of an onset date is appropriate, nevertheless I am noticing this as a general pattern.

Enter Sam, son of the farm owners, who shows Kyle what he feels is perfectly normal and that he doesn't have to hide from his feelings.

An innocent love story at it's best.
Ever so often, I accidentally, or not, choose a book intended for the teen LGBT market. This is one. A lovely innocent love story at it's very best. If you're looking for a hot M2M romance, keep on looking. If you want to believe in love, spend the credit.

Great coming of age story
Kyle finds himself on a farm for the summer as part of a work program after getting into trouble with the law, again. Not that he's a punk mind you, he's just a teenager doing teenager things. He welcomes the respite from his abusive step father that much is for sure. It takes time and patience, but slowly Kyle comes out of his shell and comes to appreciate his life on the farm, especially the part of his life that involves Sam, the farm owners son. So much can change over one summer, but can Sam convince Kyle to take a chance on him... on them?
I absolutely LOVE this narrator. He is so damn good at what he does, he could recite the phone book and I'd be on the edge of my seat, listening with bated breath. Add to his spectacular vocal cords such an amazing story and what you have is a book you simply must listen to. This book is all about Kyle and Sam, about Kyle finally having the freedom and ability to consider what he wants out of life. A place for him to call home where he is truly loved, wanted and respected. It's a story of first love, true love, romance and everything that goes along with it.

Okay story, poor choice of narrator
The storyline was enjoyable, if a bit predictable. But Paul Morey as the narrator was not the right choice. He is not a bad narrator in general, but this is a coming of age story and he sounded way too old to be voicing these characters.

Great YA story
Kyle is 17 on the cusp of 18 and on the verge of finally, finally, leaving his abusive step-father's house for art school when he gets suckered into doing something stupid. He throws a brick at a window and ends up almost in juvenile detention. Instead of a jail, he signs up for a work-release program in upstate NY at a farm.
Sam is the son of the famers for whom Kyle works. He's an openly gay college sophomore and he returns each summer to help on the farm.
Both boys are virgins. Though Sam has known for a while that he is gay, has even had some boyfriends, he is saving himself for a "committed relationship". Kyle has barely admitted he is gay and is far from having ever acted upon it.
Kyle takes to the farm like a duck to water and when he meets Sam, their attraction is instantaneous. Kyle has "seen" Sam in a dream, and Sam is immediately protective of the obviously abused Kyle.
Sam essentially takes on the job of showing Kyle the world as a gay young man and helps him to identify and normalize his feelings. Sam's family is also amazing in this capacity, helping Kyle to feel love for the first time since his father died a decade ago.
Kyle is a tough nut to crack though. He doesn't know how to handle these feelings, doesn't trust them, and he worries that Sam is either dating him because he's convenient or going to disappear forever once school starts up again. In either case, he wants to protect his heart, so he keeps his distance.
Almost reluctantly, Kyle agrees to date Sam and together they tentatively explore the physical side of their relationship. The summer moves quickly and the boys find that though they are really thinking they might be in love, they don't think the relationship can withstand long distance. So they essentially break up.
Time and again Kyle finds himself in abusive situations (both over the summer and at school), and it isn't until he meets some supportive friends at art school that he takes measures to learn some self defense. Though he enjoys his new friends at school, he misses Sam and doesn't really hear much from him, so he thinks it's over between them, for good.
However, over Christmas break, things start to look up for Kyle when Sam comes to visit. We get a tepid HFN that (thankfully) doesn't have to suffice, since we now have part two to read and enjoy following Sam and Kyle as they continue their relationship.
This is a young adult/new adult book. With that in mind, much of this book was wonderful and I really, really enjoyed it. There was definitely room for improvement, however, even as looked upon with a younger audience in mind.
First, I loved how Kyle was able to navigate through his emotions, processing his feelings for Sam and his family, while ignoring the voice in his head of his step-father with it's homophobic, hateful messages. Sam and his family were wonderful influences and served to be great examples of how things could be.
Sam was a fantastic, mostly realistic, young man. He'd had some "sexual" encounters, but preserved penetration for someone special. I really liked that. I liked the forethought and the idea that not every boy is gunning for more with every guy he meets. Even in college!
Sam's family was also amazing. They had some issues (namely Sam's twin) but mostly they loved each other and worked hard and didn't judge. By adding in some "flaws" the author was able to show a family, somewhat realistically, who could demonstrate another side of love.
As a love story this book really satisfies. Kyle needed Sam so much, but did have a lot to offer and once he crawled out of his shell it looked like the two would have a healthy relationship.
Another thing I really appreciated was the theme of food through out the story. Part of love for Kyle is food (as it is with most humans) and his own family was skimpy on love and food. Each chapter (or close to) showcases Sam's mom feeding Kyle some new dish, showing him how fresh food, given with love and abundance can be amazing and more than just simply a way to fill a hunger. It was a lovely metaphor and cleverly used by the author.
However, what bugged me, so much, was the completely unrealistic language Sam used with Kyle. He spoke in a way no 20 year old I ever knew spoke. He was totally self-actualized and at times he sounded no different than I would expect a guidance counselor. I felt he even treated Sam more as a father figure than boyfriend at times… with the major exceptions of them having sex (or nearly so). It felt more like a May/December story than a story between two contemporaries. He was just too perfect. He didn't ever push, he had all the answers, he didn't cheat, didn't drink, didn't smoke… goody two-shoes, if you get what I mean.
The other thing that bugged me was Kyle and his constant string of abuse. Everywhere he went he was getting beat up and not until the end did he think that maybe, maybe, he should do something to protect himself. This got a bit tedious.
I also found it disconcerting that Kyle, from Manhattan, had less knowledge of being gay and gay sex than the country boy from upstate New York. Even the most closeted boy in Manhattan would have some idea of what goes on… some idea that being gay might be normal… some idea that his asshole step-father shouldn't be beating the crap out of him for looking gay…
Finally, I would have been mad if I hadn't had the sequel available to me right now. I hated where the story was left. It was barely a new start for our boys and a terrible place to leave them for an entire year while waiting for the sequel to come out.
But… the sequel is out and from the blurb we know the boys stay together and in fact begin to explore their more intimate side of the relationship. While I appreciated the vague references to physical intimacy the author used, mindful of a younger audience, I think that she could have used more accurate terms without crossing over into "erotica" and still maintaining age appropriateness.
However, it was refreshing that most of this book was about the relationship and hardly any about the sex. I loved how satisfying it was for Kyle to finally find love.
Overall I give the story a 4 of 5 stars, I really liked it.
Paul Morey is a narrator who has done lots in the m/m genre and he did another solid job. He doesn't do too many variations in voices, though I did enjoy his Bronx accent for Kyle's football friends. He is a good narrator whose voice blends into the background and allows the story to flow without distraction.
I enjoyed his narration and give it a 4 of 5 stars.
Overall Impression:
4 stars – I really liked it

Good, Not Great
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Probably not; at least not unless it was deeply discounted. It wasn't that it was a bad story- it pretty much ticks all of the appropriate boxes- but I've read what was pretty much the same story by much better writers.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I'd work on making the characters more believable, especially Kyle. I actually started out liking Kyle, he was very sympathetic and affecting in the beginning. But throughout the book he becomes more and more pathetic and I just stopped believing in him as a character. I mean, I can understand his hesitation to accept gifts from the family, but the offering pay for every single thing that was offered to him, even after they told him, "don't worry about it", became so grating. I think this was an attempt at making him seem vulnerable, but he just came off as stupid and whiny. Also, his naivete about gay people beyond ridiculous. I mean, he's supposed to be a kid from the streets of New York City and he has ZERO idea of what gay people are like?
What three words best describe Paul Morey's performance?
Sounds too old
What would have made this romance irresistible?
First of all, as I mentioned, the characters could use some work. Between Kyle's naivete and constant apologizing and Sam's comparative worldliness, I had a hard time convincing myself that these two people would actually date each other in real life. If I were Sam, I would have found Kyle to be nice but tiresome and way too immature. However, not only do these guys inexplicably end up dating each other, they practically marry one another about five minutes after meeting. Now, I'm not against love at first sight stories, but the fact that these characters are so different add yet end up together practically right away felt emotionally untrue. Perhaps if they'd worked on it a little more and slowed it down, I could have been convinced. Also, while I appreciate the attempts romance authors take at talking about HIV, I don't like it when it just get's awkwardly dropped in. Yes, gay people talk about HIV, but not in the weird germphobic way it's introduced here. You can have perfectly healthy sex without a doctor's note. Suggesting otherwise, as it seems to be in this novel,is just silly and kind of insulting.

Malcolm X
Engl. 2072-001
Compare and Contrast Of Malcolm X Poems
Malcolm X, one of the most iconic faces of the civil rights movement if often paid tribute to by writers and poets. Robert Hayden and Margaret Walker are two African American poets that paid homage to Malcolm X. Interestingly enough; two poems about the same person are written in two completely different ways and focus on separate intervals of his life. Robert Hayden focuses on Malcolm's life as a big picture and uses metamorphosis as the central theme, along with metaphoric language throughout to paint the picture of a very religious, very focused man. Margaret Walker focuses on the death of Malcolm X. She uses sonnets to form her poem and vehement descriptive language to paid homage to the late Malcolm X. Immediately in the next four lines Malcolm's childhood transforms into his teenage/young adulthood years. He seems to be happier than he was as a child, yet still troubled. He became known as Dee-troit Red Malcolm was already fleeing his given name on the search to change who he felt he was. The metamorphosis that Hayden focuses on is made even more apparent with this line. He conked his hair Hayden does not meaninglessly place this line into the poem. The conking of the hair was something that was very popular amongst many African American males during the 1920's through the 1960's. This was an attempt by Malcolm to appear to look more like a white male. The attempt of metamorphosis was not only the central them of Hayden's poem but was also a central theme in the life of Malcolm X. Malcolm's childhood controlled what he was slowly becoming as an adult. "His injured childhood bullied him…he could not hurt the enemy powered against him there." In these few lines in the poem it was apparent that Malcolm have made some attempts to better himself and perhaps gain equality but the evidence of his troubled youth and need for change held him back. Part three of Hayden's...

This weekend the story was Kerry's lies about what he did as an anti-war activist following the Vietnam war.
Last night it was Kerry's lie about meeting all the members of the U.N. Security Council.
This morning I mentioned Kerry's alarmist claim that 95 percent of cargo coming into the U.S. is uninspected.
Now Robert Novak brings us another Kerryism to add to the list: Kerry's tendency to quote Richard Lugar, the conservative Republican Senator from Indiana, in support of his position(s) on the Iraq war ("Kerry's Republican friend").
It is true that Lugar criticized the Bush Administration's management of reconstruction efforts in Iraq. So this Kerryism isn't a complete fabrication. On the other hand, Lugar remains a strong Bush supporter and continues to support Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq. Novak explains:
Kerry's campaign attempts to avoid the liberal stigma and assume a bipartisan image. In doing so, he implies support from such Republicans as Secretary of State Colin Powell, Sen. John McCain, Sen. Chuck Hagel — and Dick Lugar. That puts Lugar in an uncomfortable position of being used by the Democratic nominee for president.
Lugar, age 72 and ending his 28th year in the Senate, is no Republican heretic. Congressional Quarterly rates him as Bush's most faithful Senate supporter at 99.2 percent (with 251 out of 253 votes). The National Journal rates him tied, along with 12 other senators, as the chamber's most conservative member. He is Indiana co-chairman of the Bush re-election campaign and supports the Iraq war….
Lugar's problem is one word: "incompetence." He used that word in the Foreign Relations Committee when informed that only $1 billion of $18 billion appropriated for Iraqi reconstruction had been spent. Asked why on ABC's "This Week" broadcast Sept. 19, Lugar repeated his verdict: "This is incompetence in the administration." Lugar's conclusion was correct but his wording injudicious.
Since then, quoting Lugar as critical of his own administration has become a staple of Kerry's campaign oratory. On Oct. 9, the day after the second debate, Kerry cited Lugar twice in the same speech at Elyria, Ohio ("Dick Lugar stood up and said that the delivery of the way that it's been administered by this administration has been incompetent.")
Lugar is a gentleman of the old school, not inclined to call up Kerry and tell him to knock it off. Speaking Oct. 15 in Carmel, Ind., Lugar said it is "very, very unfortunate" that Kerry is "trying to stir up waters when we, in a very bipartisan way, on the Foreign Relations Committee support our troops." In Culver, Ind., Oct. 17, he said: "It does infuriate all my friends, and they wish that somehow or other I could seize Sen. Kerry and tell him, 'Don't do it.'"
Lugar was more blunt with me last week. "The use of my remarks is an attempt to shore up a weak position on his [Kerry's] part," he told me, adding that Kerry "has tried to extend the failing of reconstruction to a more general criticism of the war."

Native Languages: TL/Filipino; EN (Philippines); HIL (Less dominant)
In a country like France, where there is only one language, the definition of mother tongue is quite evident and very restrictive: it is the language (often the only one that is used and understood!) spoken by the mother in the family.
But in a country like the Philippines, where there are 87 languages and where there are more than 150 dialects, this restrictive concept of mother tongue is not applicable anymore, and this becomes very vague. Certain languages are used more often and are better-mastered than those that are commonly used by parents. That is what is in my own case:
So, we understand that the concept of mother tongue is totally different from what is conceived in countries where there is only one language! I cannot consider Kinaray-a -- eventhough it is my father tongue and I used it when I was younger -- as a mother tongue. However, I am almost more familiar with English and Tagalog/Filipino and I master them better than Hiligaynon which is yet my real and only "mother tongue" if we apply the strict definition.
Again, according to the strict definition, "mother tongue" is the language used in lullabies sang to an infant. But in my case, I heard lullabies in Hiligaynon indeed, but I heard them as much as, if not more, in Tagalog or English!
On the other hand, though it appears strange to some, it is a fact (and unfortunately a reality to a lot of emigrated Filipino children) that one's mother tongue can be totally forgotten. Thus, this concept cannot have any value as for the mastery of a language!
Therefore, what I define as my mother tongue does not correspond to the strict and (very) restrictive definition, but to the reality of things in an environment where no single conversation, or even phrase, is effectively multilingual. And this reality shows that what the strict and restrictive definition considers as my mother tongue is not what I master best.
Philippine languages are part of Austronesian linguistics, once called Malayo-Polynesian. Latin alphabet, with a few variants, is used at present. Let us note letters less and the that becomes "ng", provided that a correspondence is possible... Effectively, the initial alphabet was syllabic. The alphabetic order is a little different compared to the classic one, reflecting the one of this old writing, regrettably forgotten since the Spanish invasion.
Being a group of living languages with continuous evolution, an important part of the vocabulary is now taken from Spanish and English words. The spelling is often reviewed to the Filipino way, and except the rules of musculine and feminine grammatical genders which were kept from Spanish origin, the grammar remains to be of the Philippine languages, which is often very puzzling to Westerners.
One of the characteristics of Philippine languages, probably due to their big number and the necessity to adapt to foreign listeners, is having mixed words and even phrase elements from several languages. So, in the streets of Manila, one often speaks what is called "Taglish", a kind of slang coming from Tagalog and English mixture.
Tagalog is widely identified to be the native language of the Tagalog ethnic group
Approximately 30% of the 84 Million population of the country, living in the southern part of Luzon
The Philippine islands are geographically divided into three main areas, namely Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. while Filipino is supposed to be the language of the Philippines as it is the first national language (English is the second). However many think, especially non-Filipinos that Tagalog is the national language of the Philippines and that Filipino is also Tagalog.
We can also consider that Filipino is not a native language of anybody. This is an artificial language which aims to unify all the ethnicities of my country (the Philippines). There have been controversial issues about Filipino versus Tagalog...
But if your target market or audience is the whole Philippines or Filipinos in other parts of the world or Filipinos all over the world, I suggest you go for Filipino and not for pure-Tagalog translations. As there are some Tagalog terms which are not common or not easy to understand for non-Tagalogs.
Hiligaynon is also called Ilonggo (sometimes misspelled as Ilongo). Hiligaynon is the language of Ilonggo people, spoken in the province of Iloilo on the island of Panay and in Negros Occidental. In fact, ethnologists and linguists talk about the Ilonggo people (the ethnic group) whose language is Hiligaynon. But Ilonggos themselves say that they speak Ilonggo!
There are approximately 7 million people in the Philippines speaking Hiligaynon as their first language. In addition to that, approximately 4 million people speak Hiligaynon as a second or third language. It is the third language in the Philippines by number of speakers.
It is the language of Karay-a people, principally spoken in the province of Antique, on the Island of Panay.

Our Birdwatch at Prestbury CE Primary School started frosty but the morning sunshine soon brightened up proceedings.
The first few groups were treated to excellent views of mistle thrush on the playing field, looking for food in the sunshine. Smaller birds were flying from tree to tree taking advantage of the cover of ivy on the trees. Eagle-eyed birdwatchers spotted coal tit, blue tit, great tit and even a few long-tailed tits.
As well as a couple of cheeky squirrels, several magpies and jackdaws (emboldened by the lure of a liberal sprinkling of bird seed) swooped down to pick around in the Garden Club allotment.
In the middle of the morning volunteers ran an assembly for the whole school explaining how we use our senses for birdwatching. The special counting method for our survey was also demonstrated to great effect with lots of robin pictures!
Students Charlotte and Nancy, both fantastic fundraisers for our Macclesfield Big Bird Box Build received two nestboxes for the school grounds as part of the projects. They were also presented with special pin badges and bird books in recognition of their efforts.
Thank you to all of the staff and children at Prestbury CE Primary School for a fabulous morning of enthusiastic birdwatching.

Assuming you're sticking to those New Year's resolutions, now is the time to sign up for that marathon you swore you'd run this year. While many major races are already sold out (London, Los Angeles and Berlin), and you would have had to qualify last year to compete in the prestigious 2013 Boston Marathon, there are still plenty on the calendar that are worth the effort it takes to train. Our Forbes Travel Guide editors scoured the lineup to find races with everything from scenic courses to country music concerts—check out which ones are in the running.
Already in marathon shape? Check out these winter races on our blog.
St. Jude Country Music Marathon Presented by Nissan, Nashville, April 27
Part of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series, the Country Music Marathon may be one of the most entertaining races we've seen—as entertaining as running 26.2 miles can be, anyway. The course starts at Centennial Park (by Vanderbilt University) and winds through Nashville to finish at LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans. It's a hilly course, but the live music playing along the way—everything from punk rock to jazz and soul—seems to help make the endless inclines a little easier. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your victory at a post-race concert. Unlike the rest of the Rock 'n' Roll races, the Country Music Marathon's concert is a little later in the evening. Though the headliner won't be revealed until the race gets closer, count on it being a major country music act (past performers include Brad Paisley and Lady Antebellum).
Blackmores Sydney Marathon, Sept. 22
Whether you've been to Sydney or not, this is one of the most scenic marathons you can run. Starting at Bradfield Park, Milson's Point, you'll run over the Sydney Harbour Bridge (the first big hill of the race), through The Rocks to the beautiful Sydney Opera House on your left and past St. Mary's Cathedral. The loop around Mrs. Macquarie's Chair is the where you want to keep your eyes peeled—it's one of the best vantage points in the city. End the grueling race in spectacular manner as you cross the finish line on the roadway into the Sydney Opera House (perfect for photo ops). Since the marathon isn't until September, you'll have to wait until mid-March to sign up; but with more than 34,000 runners last year, it's bound to fill up fast.
Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Oct. 13
If you're looking to make your marathon debut, don't miss the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. It's a fast and flat course, and with 1.7 million spectators to cheer you on, you'll have plenty of encouragement. The start and finish line is at Grant Park in the Loop, but the course guides you through 29 of Chicago's unique neighborhoods. If you've never been to Chicago or haven't had time to fully explore the city, the marathon is a great way to get a glimpse into its diverse sections. When you're running through Lincoln Park (miles 5 and 6) past the zoo, be sure to look to your right for a view of Lake Michigan. Celebrate your accomplishment at the 27th Mile Post-Race Party at Grant Park's Butler Field, where you can enjoy live entertainment and refuel with 312 Urban Wheat Ale (a local brew) and plenty of food for purchase. Registration starts Feb. 19.
Marine Corps Marathon, Washington D.C., Oct. 27
The fourth-largest marathon in the country (around 30,000 runners) is one of the most patriotic races—the starting line is near the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., and a Marine places a medal around your neck when you cross the finish line in. Running alongside many active-duty military and plenty of veterans, you'll feel compelled to finish the race. Along the course, you'll see all of the must-see D.C. sites—from the Kennedy Center to the U.S. Capitol. Passing by the Arlington National Cemetery, you'll have one last uphill challenge before finishing at the Marine Corps War Memorial. Registration closed in less than three hours last year, so you'll want to sign up as soon as it opens on March 27 for a chance to be part of this race.
ING New York City Marathon, Nov. 3
After canceling the 2012 ING New York City Marathon due to Super Storm Sandy, the New York Road Runners (the organization that puts on the event) decided to offer all 2012 runners a spot in either the 2013, 2014 or 2015 marathons. While registration isn't open yet for newcomers, it'll fill up fast once it is available to the public. The New York City Marathon is one of the most popular in the world, attracting nearly 48,000 runners each year to traverse the five boroughs while 2.5 million spectators cheer them on. Beginning on Staten Island, you'll cross over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn. At around mile 16, the race reaches Manhattan, passes through the Bronx for a mile then returns to Manhattan before heading south through Harlem to finish at Central Park's Tavern on the Green.

Food Colorants Market is estimated to exceed USD 4.7 billion by 2024; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc. Growing perception of color as a prelude to taste and nutrition will drive food colorants market size. Increasing demand for natural coloring over synthetic based colors is expected to propel industry growth. Positive application outlook in edible products to compensate color changes that occur during processing and storage will further boost product adoption rate.

Consumer buying preference has integrated visual appeal as a key factor along with taste and quality. As a response, several manufacturers have centered color as a marketing tool in their novel product launches to boost sales. Bakery & confectionery companies are likely to create desired visual appeal using colorants to indicate the freshness and quality, thereby fostering business growth.
Increasing favorable regulations on natural colors will provide positive business outlook for manufacturers. Natural additives enable the manufacturers to certify their product with a clean label. This enables them to tackle the demand arising from consumers who have an informed purchase decision. For instance, as per the GNT group, 66% of consumers worldwide check the label and contents of edible items before purchase.
Synthetic colors dominated the volume share in 2017. Factors such as low-price trend, stability, extended shelf life and availability in bulk quantity expected to drive industry size. Increasing application scope in the beverage industry likely to support product demand. Moreover, innovations in synthetic colors such as colorful concoctions to enhance its appeal fueling segment growth.
Powder form contributed over 65% of the overall food colorants market in 2017. They are easy to mix, versatile and provide color consistency. The product can be brushed onto confectioneries for decorative purpose or diluted with alcohol and extracts to develop liquid coloring. Powder form also offers extended shelf life and ease of transportability when compared to liquid. In addition, the control offered to decorators augments its usage in bakery and confectionary applications.
Dye has emerged as the largest segment in terms of solubility. Increasing demand in baked goods, beverages and dairy products owing to versatility supplementing industry size. They are water-soluble additives available in liquid, granule and powdered form. It can be mixed with a liquid medium to achieve a light, medium, dark or a very dark shade and can also be used in powdered form in recipes sensitive to liquid.
Beverages dominated the application segment accounting for over 30% of the volume share in 2017. Increasing demand for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages driving segment growth. The emergence of color as an important factor in purchase decision bolsters business growth. Color raises expectations on taste as brain associates flavors with certain colors. Moreover, growth in value placed on visual appeal coupled with ability of colors to stir up consumer curiosity augment product usage.
North America colorants demand for edible items is anticipated to exceed USD 1.4 billion by 2024. Favorable regulations on natural colors and expansion in the bakery, meat & poultry industry will drive the regional growth. For instance, FDA has classified natural color under exempt from certification category, which in turn, assists in achieving a clean label.
Inquiry of this Report @ https://www.gminsights.com/inquiry-before-buying/2150
Europe colorants market is characterized by the presence of key manufacturers such as BASF, DSM and CHR. Strong demand from both domestic and international markets for processed edible items will create lucrative opportunities for their product portfolio in the region. Rapid expansion of bakery & confectionery in the region will provide positive business opportunities for these industry players.
The global food colorants industry is moderately consolidated in nature. Major manufacturers such as BASF, DSM, CHR Hansen and Sensient Technologies account for more than 50% of the industry share. Other notable players include GNT group, DD Williamson, Naturex, Cargill, Sethness Products and LycoRED. Mergers & acquisitions, product innovations and value chain integration are key strategies adopted by industry players to gain market share.

An American Woman's Thoughts On Her Beloved Country — 2018
By Mira Schnebly
America had great men, such as George Washington, who did not believe it torture, political parties, or attacking the free press. For Washington, it was all about country first, not money, not power, not glory, but country, all for the greater good of the country.
America with Trump in the Oval Office, has sunk so low that I cry for my beloved country. Americans are in exactly the same spot as our once nascent nation, recently freed from the grip of Mad King George.
The Mad King's oppressive occupation of American colonists who suffered horrors beyond our comprehension today and the attempts to destroy the land and any occupant who did not swear loyalty to the Mad King, is a sad reminder of what we are experiencing today with Trump.
Trump by his, and his Administration's actions, have sown the "grievance" seeds for another American Revolution. Quoting John F. Kennedy, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable. " That is the situation we are faced with today.
There is an individual in the Oval Office as Mad as King George was, as inexperienced as Mad King George was, knows as little about the world as Mad King George did.
However, in an effort to be fair, some – just a little background insight into the molding of what Trump is today. Trumps parents abandoned him as so much garbage to a military school. Their excuse was young Trump was incorrigible and they were not equipped to handle him. He engaged in thuggish behavior, never listened, caused and got into trouble (MUCH LIKE TODAY). So his wealthy parents, instead of getting young Trump help via counseling simply threw him away to military school (WHERE THE DAMAGE CONTINUED AND WAS MOST LIKELY EXASCERBATED). Trumps parents also "rented" a model to visit young Trump at his school to give him a "ladies man" image. My thoughts are, if parents are so sure of their sons claim to masculinity, why rent a female to impress the guys?
Similarities between Trump and my 15-year-old Miniature Pinscher ("min pin" for short): both have pinball machines for brains. Again to be fair, it is more likely Trump has A.D.D., and possibly dyslexia. Given the era and the perceived (image is everything era) stain of any mental issues or mental illness, and the attitudes of Trumps parents, who made the decision to throw him away instead of getting him the help he so desperately needed, we have a deeply disturbed individual in the Oval Office. If he had received the counseling, perhaps he would be a different person, we will never know.
Re my min-pin, she definitely has doggie A.D.D. She is much sweeter and much cuter than Trump.
One more thing, the difference between Trump and Mad King George: the Mad King legitimately inherited his position.
At this time, more and more information is coming to light that the Russians may have influenced the outcome of the election, which logically, leads to one conclusion, Russian hackers tampered with the Electoral College outcome.
Additionally, more evidence surfacing that Russia/Putin channeled money to Republican campaigns resulting in the investigation to find the full extent of Russian meddling in our 2016 election being obstructed by the GOP at every turn.
The Trump Loyalist Party just passed a #taxscambill which is the equivalent of taxation without representation. The rotting pile of vomit, illegitimately sitting in the Oval Office, is as much of a "brute" as Mad King George. Trump is following in the footsteps of his early British counterpart by attacking the press, anyone and everyone in his dementia ridden, delusional state, Trump deems the enemy of "himself."
The American Revolution "became a personal contest" for George III, one that he refused to recognize that he lost until Parliament forced him to recognize defeat." Mad King George who, "grudgingly accepted a government he did not want (headed by Rockingham) and a peace he could not abide" which for Trump is yet to come. The Blue Wave will be the first nail in the coffin of the tenure of The Mad President of the United States.
Never forget Republicans did not do one thing to help the "forgotten Americans" they falsely refer to over and over again. Instead they helped the already rich get richer, and in Trumps own words:
"That night, Trump stumbled off message. "You all just got a lot richer," he told friends and members of his club, where up-front dues cost $200,000 and annual fees $14,000, CBS News reported. It went viral.
Republicans need to understand that Trump, Pence, Ryan, McConnell and others need to go as they are tainted by Russian money, meddling. If Republicans do nothing to right this rotting ship of state, then the Blue Wave will, and it will not be pretty. Never forget how low they let the United States of America sink.

Trained as an entomologist, Jeffrey A. Lockwood discovered 12 years into his career that he was phobic about the very subject he had chosen as his life's work.
In "The Infested Mind," he describes the hot, dry day he descended into a gulch in the Wyoming sagebrush. He had heard there might be 40 to 50 grasshoppers per square yard, and he wanted to see for himself.
But instead of many grasshoppers behaving normally, he found "a bristling carpet of wings and legs," which erupted into a "seething chaos." Grasshoppers ricocheted off his face and chest, latched onto his bare arms and tangled "their spiny legs" into his hair. "For the first time in my life as an entomologist," he writes, "I panicked."
Not surprisingly, the experience tempered his enthusiasm for insects — though, fortunately for science, not before he had completed enough important research to gain tenure at the University of Wyoming at a youthful 33.
To help pay for the research, Dr. Lockwood worked as a consultant on insect control, developing insecticides — which partly inspired him to write a Pushcart Prize-winning essay, "Grasshopper Dreaming: Reflections on Killing and Loving," for Orion magazine in 2001. By then, he had switched academic departments at Wyoming, moving to a joint appointment in philosophy and the M.F.A. program in creative nonfiction; still, it is hard not to think of that seething chaos of grasshoppers as seeking retribution.
Entomophobia, he writes, is just one of many phobias involving things that crawl and fly, including moths (mottephobia), wasps (spheksophobia) and insects that cause itching (acarophobia). Then there is delusory parasitosis, in which imaginary insects cause debilitating itching. (Generally it's an exterminator who discovers the delusion, but since exterminators are not allowed to offer placebos in the form of benign spraying, treatment often ends up as a job for psychotherapy.)
Western culture imbues us with the idea of insect as monster. Folk songs like "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" and nursery rhymes like "Little Miss Muffet" far outweigh lovable bugs like Jiminy Cricket and Eric Carle's "endearingly imperfect" ladybugs, honeybees and caterpillars. When insects are portrayed favorably, Dr. Lockwood notes, they usually walk on two legs.
Entomophobia pervades the work of Salvador Dalí: "These insects became oversized, dreadful symbols of waste and destruction; he often depicted them as eating the main subject of a work," Dr. Lockwood writes — though his discussion is unsatisfying, accompanied by a grainy black-and-white reproduction of Dalí's disturbing 1929 "Portrait of Paul Éluard" and the rather generic observation, in the caption, that the artist's early childhood experiences "provided the raw material for his works' deeply troubled expressions of his inner life; note the grasshopper in the center left of the painting."
The Dalí biographer Ian Gibson has suggested the kind of detail that would have enriched Dr. Lockwood's analysis. "The praying mantis," he notes, "was a favorite symbol for the Surrealists due to their ritual of the male being devoured by the female immediately after the sexual act."
Dr. Lockwood eschews a closer look at this and other aspects of entomophobia in an effort to cram everything into 203 pages, complete with extensive footnotes. He is a very good writer, but that quality is more readily apparent in his essays than in this book.
In 2006, he wrote movingly in Orion about the entomologist Jeffery P. LaFage, his mentor at Louisiana State University. The central moment of the essay, "The Nature of Violence," is a description of an insect dealing with its own death: Caught accidentally by its cage door shutting, it thrashed as the lid "ruptured the tender abdominal membrane," and fell back into the cage. "It calmly assessed the situation," he wrote, and then "curled its head down toward the leaking viscera and proceeded to consume its own entrails."
Dr. Lockwood fights his empathy for the animal, recalling that Professor LaFage wouldn't countenance "any latent anthropomorphic tendencies in his students." But in a wrenching turn he tells us of Dr. LaFage's own death in a random act of violence. Struggling to understand a seemingly senseless act, he finds solace in his mentor's teaching: "He had offered us ways of seeing into the lives and conditions of other beings, so that we might begin to understand their aggression. We had learned that violence is the baseline strategy for most encounters between, and indeed within, species."
This is a lovely philosophical essay, combining Dr. Lockwood's knowledge of insects with fluid and elegant writing. If in "The Infested Mind" he had tried a less encyclopedic approach, concentrating on fewer examples in greater detail, he would have given a more thoughtful and more readable book.

Long Ottoman Bench
Long ottoman bench. Benches come in various designs, designs and colors and can be utilized in any of the rooms within the house. Most people have an image of a bench being made from economical plain wood that is utilized either in the cooking area or in the yard. There is nothing incorrect accompanying these benches and they look flawlessly fine in the yard, but for the bedroom, living area and dining room, you want something that is much more comfortable and glamorous. A bench can be purchased accompanying or without a storage space center under the seat. It is a smart idea to purchase a bench that has the additional storage space as you can store a great deal of home items in the space in order to keep your home tidy. The dining room is most likely the exception and it is most likely most effectively to go with a bench that has legs, rather than a boxed base. Although you can discover storage space benches in glamorous materials, they tend to stick out in a dining-room that is already enhanced accompanying chairs that have 4 legs. For the remainder of the home, a storage space bench can offer additional seating and a way to keep that particular area neat. Natural leather benches are a good selection for the living-room and can be matched to alreadying existing natural leather furnishings. The Incredible And also Lovely Long ottoman bench With regard to Residence

Single Tray Box
The depth of the trays are 1/2 an inch and I place openings at both sides so the photos could been easily lifted from the boxes. I used a silk moire cloth to wrap the trays.
For the cover I wanted to add some interest for the design so I cut out a square in the center and split the front board down the center.
Wrapping the cover in book cloth was pretty simple except at the cutout. At the cut out angle the cloth would not fully cover so I first painted the board to match the cloth.
The tray was then glued on the center board.
By splitting the board I then had to add another full size board behind the left flap to fully protect the photos. Before covering this board in a decorative paper and attaching it, I cut out small recesses and mounted two of the magnets. On the right cover flap more magnets were recessed that matched up to the ones on the other board.
I used epoxy adhesive to attach the magnet into the recess board and used a wood putty to fill any openings after the glue had dried. Finally I carefully scraped off any glue or putty from the top of the magnet so it would not interfere with it being able to close the cover.
Before gluing down the decorative paper on the flaps I used a light card stock to raise the center area flush with the turned cloth edges. When recessing the magnets I made them flush with this card stock. I added a piece of cloth at the cut out so the white card would not be seen at the edge and glued down the decorative paper.

Really great! I am impressed!ReplyDelete
Greetings Heike
Are those purple, green, and blue blocks weights wrapped in book cloth? I'm curious how those are made!ReplyDelete
I made the weights by making small boxes that are 3 x 5 x 2. I filled them with lead shot then added some glue to solidify the shot. Previously I made some weights and later dropped one off the table and all the tiny shot spilled all over the floor, it was a mess to clean up.ReplyDelete
After I glued a lid on the box and wrapped the box in a heavy kraft paper. Then I wrapped them again in book cloth. I used the three colors because they were pieces left over from other projects.
Nice creative art work done!! Keep up the good work...ReplyDelete

These drugs include Stutent, Gleevec and Avastin. All three have had serious problems in use and do little to prolong life or cure the disease in any significant manner.
These drugs are very expensive and if they must be used in combination with other chemotherapy is there hope for extended life, quality of life and a cure?
There are many treatment options for cancer. Most of the effective one are not in the media kit sent to oncologists or taught in medical schools.
There is much less spent on prevention. But here's a tip you might enjoy reading -

As glad as I am that you're getting sponsored, I feel I should tell people that Firefox is starting to offer this password security option for free, though before anyone gets angry at me, I don't know what level of security it is, comparatively, I just want to make people aware of options!

Why not send a person from each army to the middle of the valley. Then both discuss a time and go back to their army. That way they will know if the message was received by the other army. As the Danger of the route lies in the middle of the valley they will get back safely.

2:35 why not let them meet in the middle, so if they perish, they perish together and no message is received, but if they manage to meet, they can return and there are no threats on the way back to the generals.
- Shaurya Pant 1 weeks back
Well, after both the teams have received confirmation of the other party that they know that you know and will go at 8PM, I don't see any further need of sending messengers. Can someone explain, please?
- Andre L 1 weeks back
How come this problem exists at all, if the proposed time is 8 pm, and both of them acknowledged the acknowledgments, then why would A and B need to keep sending acknowledgments? They both acknowledged the proposal and acknowledgment, so it's already planned? They both already know that it made it to the other side at least twice, so what's the problem?
This just feels like it's not really a problem.... How is this line of reasoning incorrect?
- Markus B 1 weeks back
I should be asleep but general B didn't give me a confirmation
- john wick 1 weeks back
Simply. General A sends a messenger which returns after delivery of the message. If the messenger does not return after a suitable time span. It is safe to assume something happend and another messenger needs to be sent

Just tell them to make a fire signal after they do, as confirmation. Not that hard.
- Ashor 2 weeks back
for the two generals, couldnt one side send a messenger with the message telling them to attack at a certain time (sundown) but to ensure they both know they both have to shoot a cannon ball to the west of the other general at sunrise) if they both observe the cannon ball west of them then they know they will attack at sundown
- Midhunraj R Pillai 2 weeks back
I wonder how the generals problem is unsolvable. Please correct me whats the mistake of the solution below,
Step1: General A sends message saying attack at 6pm
(Here, A establishes the time)
Step 2: General B gets the message, sends back an acknowledgement 1 for the message 'we go the time'
(B gets the time)
Step 3: General A gets the ACK 1
(now, A knows that B got the time of attack. But B won't attack because B don't know that ACK 1 is reached at A. so..)
A sends a confirmation ACK 2 back
Step 4: General B gets the ACK 2
(now, B knows that both A and B establishes the time. Also B got the ACK 2, meaning B knows that ACK 1 reached A. But B knows that A won't attack until A confirm that B got the ACK 2. so...)
B sends a confirmation ACK 3 back
Ahhhh this trend continues and no one will attack since they cannot make sure that the previous ACK sent by them is reached at the other end!!! I am sorry (T_T)

Have generals send messagers at set periods of time even when there is nothing to send. If there is no messager, ask about it in the next message.

Proposition for the two generals problem: instead of sending one messenger, send a pair of messengers. One messenger stays at camp B and the other returns to camp A. If no messengers return to camp A, then it's obvious that the message was intercepted on one of the two trips, so you send another pair

We solved this problem for banking application at work. The app is designed to work offline and synchronize when online. The acknowledgment problem is that you do not know if a message did not reach the server or it reached the server, but the confirmation was lost. As a result each message is uniquely identified in the client and safe to repeat. You can resend a message to the server a million times, but it will result in one transaction only for both client and the server.
- Curtis Moore 4 weeks back
This sort of thing happened to me 3 years ago through Amazon. The progress wheel after clicking "Buy Now" kept freezing when I hit it. I foolishly kept refreshing and hitting "Buy Now" again until getting to the confirmation screen. This was why, two weeks later, I had to ship back 15 identical USB phone chargers.
- Joshua Anderson 4 weeks back
So how does general A know that general B got the message?
- Joshua Anderson 4 weeks back
@lorvincent Thank you but I'm still not getting it for some reason. Are you saying that general A and B have 1000 other generals to get messages from? If general B relays the message to 1000 other generals how does general B know the other generals got the message? I'm stuck on something here...
- lorvincent 4 weeks back
Because 1000 other generals also got the message, and general B relayed to all 1001 of them, which caused the other 1000 to relay to general A that B got the message. It isn't the method described in the video, but this is the basic idea behind distributed ledgers with byzantine fault tolerance.
- Asma Hasmalaria 1 months back
I have the solution: Instead of sending messengers to general B, general A picks up his phone, dials the number of the favorite pizzeria and says "I want a valley castle, with cheese dip and onions" and Deliveroo gets nothing while the pizzeria gets the money they deserve.
- iHunterKiller 1 months back
We're looking at this as a 2d plane. In 3d, don't go through the castle, go around it, meet up, attack together. Done.

Few things are as boring as giving 'clever' answers to puzzles that totally disregard the actual problem
- Banned From Existance 1 months back
So what if we get two messengers, one tries to go through the valley meanwhile the other observes the messenger at a safe distance. If the message gets killed, the other person can come back to let them know they failed! Thus they keep attempting until the get it right.
- BillyViBritannia 1 months back
So the actual question is 'can you make sure a message arrives if you can't ensure the message' s arrival?'
Well, doesn't take a genius to see why that's impossible.

How is the comment section of such a technical/educational video so God damn funny.

Of all the different substances that can stain furniture, you wouldn't expect water to be the culprit. Unfortunately this colourless liquid can be just as bad as coffee, tea, or anything else that happens to spill. If a water stain has somehow made its way onto your furniture, there's no need to worry. This is an easy stain to lift with several proven methods to help you do it.
Dampen the area with enough clean water to cover the stain; be careful not to soak it too much or you will soak the cushion underneath. Place 2-3 paper towels on the stain, and use a hair dryer pointed at them on a low setting to help transfer the moisture from the furniture to the paper towels. Replace the paper towels as they become damp, and continue until the stain is gone.
Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, and lightly mist the stained area. Scrub the area to loosen the stain with a soft clean cloth, and hold a hair dryer over the area on low to help it to dry faster.
Apply steam to the area with an iron, holding it 2-3 inches over the stain. Rub the area with a clean cloth, and use a hair dryer to help the fabric dry quickly.
Mix 1/3 cup of ammonia with a pint of warm water, and apply it to the stain with a clean cloth. Scrub the area well to lift the stain, and use a hair dryer to facilitate faster drying.

Beacon Thoughts -Going through the Struggle
As the year closes, we can look back over our lives and think about how many times we "made it". We made it because of our perseverance in the struggles of life. Some of this year was "smooth sailing" while other moments seemed to capsize our world with tsunami force.
Through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus, I've learned to trust in God. There continues to be moments of not understanding what God has for us or why bad things happen to good people or how the good die young while the bad lives on into their havoc.
I have questioned God several times this year which made my struggle intense at times. I worried about persons, places and things that I had no control over. I even gave up on God and found that God never gave up on me.
So this is no resolution for the new year, but a reality check that I must struggle to find strength and to activate my faith. Faith the size of a mustard seed that seems stronger than my struggle. Faith that lifts me up when I have fallen down. Faith that wiped my tears when I was most vulnerable. Faith to believe in people when the situation did not make sense.
I am broken. I will struggle. God will nurture my imperfections and vulnerable moments to capture the beauty of life so I can relax in the safety of God.
Life support is over…restoration begins…

Waiting for the Storm
Charles Albert Tindley penned these words years ago, "When the storms of life are raging, stand by me; when the storms of life are raging, stand by me. When the world is tossing me, Like a ship upon the sea; Thou who rulest wind and water, Stand by me."
That is where I was as we began making preparations for Hurricane Sandy over the past couple of days. We took precautions for situations that just might happen. We ensured the lawn furniture would not become projectiles, that the drains were clear and that there was enough food and water to last us should we have lost power. But in the midst of the storm, God placed this song that became a prayer into my soul. It offered a moment for assessment in the busyness of life to pray. It engaged family concern to reach out and just say hi! It allowed communities to come together in preparations for the unknown strength of the soon to arrive hurricane. It made you consider making something that will last.
And so, the storm has passed us by. By all assessments, some experiences were good where power never flickered. Some were bad where power is still out or trees fell destroying property. Most importantly, it allowed me to take in the gifts of God –my family and friends and His goodness and mercy. We may have lost things in the storm, but what have we gained in the process? God wants us to be in connection and community with each other. Dr. Martin Luther King called it, the beloved community, where we are all God's children trying to make a difference on earth as it is in heaven.
So we've waited for Hurricane Sandy and she showed off and took her time. There will be storms in our lives that may take their time, but our faith in God is what should last. I passed a marque of a local Presbyterian church on Sunday that read, "Hurricane Sandy is coming; so is Jesus. Will you be ready?"
Cherry Hill UMC to celebrate Family & Friends Day

Thirties and sunny. Rain last two days so we were glad for a nice one.
Start of the South Trail has several sections of bog bridge
Still wintry looking but no ice or snow
The small pond was ice free and that made Kelley happy.
She also found pools along the trail
Perch Pond was also ice free
More wet trail
Colorful fungi
Nice day and hike. Kelley did well and enjoyed water everywhere. We had the place to ourselves until we met some folks and dogs at the end near the parking lot. 2 hours

How Kids Like Embarrassing Parents
I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Somewhere, my mom is laughing herself silly.
See, when I was a kid, I was excellent at
mostly inadvertently embarrassing my parents - my mom in particular. One such event stands out in my mind to this day (although I'm sure my mom could list off ten instances at the drop of a hat). We were hosting a missionary for a few nights and my mom had gone into company mode and cleaned the house to within an inch of it's life and threatened us with a slow and painful death asked us to please be on our best behaviour. Then, one night at supper, I spotted a bowl of shredded cheese. With a spoon in it.
We aren't rednecks. We aren't badly raised. But for as long as I've lived, we've never used a spoon in shredded cheese. We just scoop a little handful in our hands. So this was really weird to me and prompted me to ask my mom "Why is there a spoon in the cheese!?!?" leaving no doubt in the visitors mind that we don't usually do that. To which my mother, turning beet red and laughing awkwardly replied "Because we have company" while shooting me a look that would wilt... well, everything. You get the point.
So anyhow, anytime Mac embarrasses me, she gets a good
slightly vindictive laugh. I wanted to record a situation like this so that I can remind Mac of it when he has kids and he complains that they're little terrorists intent on humiliating him.
Last week we had to take Mac to the walk-in clinic because we suspected he had an ear infection. Prior to leaving we had doped him up pretty good on painkillers so he was in a pretty good mood and not in any discomfort. After sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes though, he was starting to get a little restless. There was music playing that was surprisingly upbeat and Mac started to dance around. This really cute older couple was sitting across from us and were chuckling at his antics and even turned to to me and asked how old he was and said he reminded them of their grandson.
I was feeling ridiculously proud of him when he chose that moment to turn, smile in the most endearing manner and
yell announce "I FARTED!!!" in a really happy tone.
Thanks kid.
