Real New York Wedding | Katie + Eric at Full Moon Resort
While we do love glitz, glam and over the top affairs, Katie and Eric show plenty of glam in their scaled down, stylish and amazingly heartfelt wedding. And with fall in full swing, what a perfect wedding to share this week! This wedding, photographed by Mark Mirocha Photography, is best described by Katie {the bride} as having a "handmade barn party" theme. {And we are simply smitten}! Take a peek at this endearing fall wedding nestled up in the Catskill Mountains and the Full Moon Resort!
Katie, staying true to her style and theme, wore the perfect simple and elegant dress, the Cecelia by J. Crew. A long, ivory, slinky silk gown with capped sleeves and an empire waist. Embellished with a simple and beautiful silk taffeta sash, wrapped around and tied into a perfect big bow in the back! {Sighing with sheer bow love}! All paired with fun and simply sweet, pinkish-fold sheen flats by Report and the brides personal pearls ~ perfect!
Eric also looked stunning in a great charcoal grey suit from J. Crew, detailed with Scotch and Soda suspenders, a fantastic tie and shirt by The Brooklyn Tailor and black wingtip shoes by Stacy Adams; very debonair. Along with his handsome boutonniere {made by the bride's mother} was a great, personal DIY piece for this wedding!
Katie and Eric entrusted their 'best ladies' and 'best men' to put together their own simple and fashionable looks for the wedding, and they did not disappoint "They looked amazing," said Katie.
The two met when Katie's plans fell through to stay with a friend while visiting New York to look at graduate schools. She ended up having to crash on a friend of a friend's couch… and you guessed it! Eric lived there. The two continued to chat long distance until she graduated and made the big move from the west to east coast the following spring. And the rest, as they say, is history. {Goes to show you those wrenches thrown into the original plan can actually become the most important part of your plan}! What a fun story!
While the ceremony took place outdoors nestled between a field and creek, the reception was held {mostly} indoors at The Full Moon Resort's newly renovated barn, which the couple filled with twinkling lights, silver and gold foiled lanterns, flowers, lovely handmade items… and family and friends!
"One of the most special things about the reception décor was that my family contributed to so many lovely handmade items. My dad made about 30 ceramic vases for the table centerpieces glazed in simple white and cream. They looked incredible with our bright flowers. My aunt Helen brought us 70 small pots of honey from her very own hives she keeps at the school she runs in Oakland, which we put at each place setting," said Katie. {So sweet and fun}!
Katie and Eric did not have a specific color scheme for their wedding, mainly because they couldn't decide on one! However, they did draw a lot of their inspiration from the 1930′s fabric they purchased to make the napkins for their reception, which they also ended up using for the garland and favor bags. We are in love with these sweet, personal favors. Amazing!

Butterfly Garden Pods:
In the spring of 2015, Butterfly Gardens of Saugeen Shores selected a number of sites to plant its gardens. The largest site was along the Captain Spence Path in Southampton comprising of 7 different pods. This is rugged coastal terrain comprising of sand and rocks and strong winds off of Lake Huron. Along the path, each pod is located in its own unique micro eco-system. One pod is in a wetland area. Here we planted Cardinal Flower, Boneset, Spotted Joe Pye Weed, Little Joe Pye Weed, Turtle Head and Swamp Milkweed: all plants that tolerate and thrive in wet conditions. Our largest pod is in a rocky, dry terrain where we planted mostly drought tolerant plants.
Our other butterfly gardens are located away from the lake. The Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre in Southampton has extensive gardens throughout its property. Many of our plants were added to supplement these gardens. At Perkins Park in Southampton along the Saugeen Shores Rail Trail, we created a berm to house butterfly friendly plants. MacGregor Point Provincial Park also created a berm by its Visitors Centre. Butterfly Gardens of Saugeen Shores also planted milkweed plants at the Saugeen First Nations Forest Garden along the Saugeen River valley bed.
Planting 1,400 plants took one week with a crew of 30 volunteers. Along the Captain Spence Path we dug small holes and filled them with triple mix. Cedar mulch was added for water retention and to keep existing plants and grasses from overtaking the pods. Maintaining gardens of this size is a huge task. Weekly weeding, watering, monitoring of pods and tender loving care was essential for plant success. The Town of Saugeen Shores assisted with watering along the Captain Spence Path. Volunteers were also instrumental in aiding with pod maintenance. Butterfly Gardens of Saugeen Shores also created a summer job for a high school student to maintain the pods.
Butterfly Gardens of Saugeen Shores mandate is for a three year project. Year one (2015): plant the plants in various pods throughout Saugeen Shores. Year two (2016): monitor the first year plants, add additional plants and native fruit bearing shrubs, develop and install informative signage. Year three (2017): is a monitoring and educational year. After 2017, Butterfly Gardens of Saugeen Shores envisions the plants self seeding and spreading in a natural process to naturally blend in with the surrounding habitat of plant life. BGOSS plans on continuing its education and programming component.
In its first year of operation (2015) BGOSS created 13 registered and certified Monarch Way Station pods throughout Saugeen Shores. Over 1,400 native plants were planted.
In the spring of 2016, BGOSS created 3 new pods along the Saugeen Rail Trail, and 2 new pods at Perkins Park. Total number of pods now stands at 15. Over 750 native plants and 50 native shrubs were planted throughout the pods with the majority going to the newly created pods. Each of these pods were maintained by our Pod Squad Ambassadors.
In 2017 plans are underway to create educational signage along the Captain Spence Path. After 2017, Butterfly Gardens of Saugeen Shores envisions the plants self seeding and spreading in a natural process to naturally blend in with the surrounding habitat of plant life.
Monarch Waystations:
Monarch Waystations are registered and certified Monarch butterfly gardens. Our goal from the outset was to have each of our gardens certified. A waystation is a Monarch Butterfly friendly garden that creates a habitat for Monarchs to have milkweed plants for its larvae and nectar rich plants for adults.

You don't need a lot to pull off the tomboy chic style. It's basically just getting the right mix of beautifully lousy clothes that would make people think you're too cool to care about what you're wearing. But in reality, you do care. If you've got a closet full of basics, then maybe you should try this style more. It's the easiest to put-together and the comfort level is an added bonus. Take a look at my outfit for example. It's basically just a white blouse and denim jeans combo–threw in an oversized jacket (that's to die for btw) and voila! Sartorial street-ready!

Press Release
From Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute:
(February 5, 2014) – Astronomers at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute in Rosman, NC, report that on the morning of February 26, observers enjoying the sunrise will note that the brilliant planet Venus appears very close to the waning crescent moon. While we realize that Venus is far beyond the Moon in the three dimensional sky, it will look to us from our perspective here on terra firma that Venus and the Moon are almost touching, Venus only 0.4 degrees south of the Moon, less than the diameter of the Moon itself.
Venus, of course, is revolving around the Sun in an orbit closer to the Sun than the Earth's. On the morning of February 26 Venus will be around 45 million miles from the Earth. The Moon, on the other hand, is much closer since it is orbiting the Earth itself. On that same morning the Moon will be a mere 230,000 miles from us or about 200 times closer than the queen of the planets.
The Moon revolves around the Earth in just a month so its passing by the planets one at a time is not particularly noteworthy. Each month as it circles the zodiac in the sky, the Moon passes the planets which all lie in the zodiac. What is a bit unusual on February 26 is simply how close the two appear. In fact, if you were to observe this event from the western or central Africa, India or southeast Asia, you would actually observe the Moon move in front of Venus. Astronomers call this an occultation.
So, watch these two as they dance in the morning twilight. It will be a fleeting event since by the next morning, the Moon will have moved well below the "Morning Star" as it heads to New Moon on March 1. Happy observing!

The hot weather could spell disaster for Cornwall's pasty trees this summer.
The heatwave, which is expected to last another 6 weeks could wipe out the last remaining trees, situated near the Lizard.
Patsy Rowe from Helston said, "It's some bleddy hot at the moment. Our orchard is really suffering! All the large steak are gone now. All we've got left are; a few mediums, a chicken and veg and a sausage roll! If they all go, I'm not sure what we'll do?"
For many years, the trees were the main source of food in Cornwall and miners would pick the fruits on the way to work.
Over the years, bakeries have cashed in on the luscious dish and are slowly wiping the trees out!
Patsy continued, "I blame the bakeries. They tricked everyone into thinking you could only make pasties in a kitchen. This isn't true and now, we're all suffering! It's some sad, I tell e'!"
The last few remaining trees can be found at Patsy's orchard, near Ann's Pasty Shop, in the Lizard. The orchard isn't open to the public, but if nobody is around and you can climb the hedge, you might be able to pinch one for your dinner!
The pasty tree, can also be found growing in the wild and have even been seen in Tehidy Woods.
If you spot one, please contact the Cornish News team via their Facebook page.

5 Ways to a calmer, saner end of the season
This week marks the end of this year's holiday sales stampede for many retail businesses and services providers. Until business returns to a more normal pace, here a few things to do to reduce stress and end the year without being trampled.
- Make time for yourself even now. You've heard this before, but really, you'll feel calmer, think clearer after being alone for even a half hour. Take a walk or get some exercise. Use physical activity to alleviate stress and the sunlight to lift your mood.
- Stay connected. Meeting the demands of customers and clients can lead to feelings of isolation for business owners and employees. When you feel like you are swimming upstream in a sea of holiday shoppers, reach out to community, religion or service organization for some life support. Take time to be with others, who may not push your buttons in the same way your customers and employees do.
- Lower your expectations. The economic problems of 2009 aren't going to be solved this week. Take a little time to apply a spoonful of reality to your expectations for the close of the year, and start to set achievable goals for 2010. Remember we don't need to do it all right now. We have a whole, shinny new year in which to accomplish new goals or revitalize old goals. Talk with your business associates and employees about what they value. You may find that your expectations are higher than everyone else's. Consider writing or revising your mission statement.
- If you are starting to feel stressed, ask partners and employees for fresh ideas or additional help. Someone else may welcome the chance to try their hand at something new. I know your family and friends have celebrating on their minds, and are tired of hearing you talk about your business, but asking for their assistance or input for a change may get you some surprising results.
- Reflect on the holiday's other meanings to you. It's not all about your business is it? Remember happy times of the past spent with loved ones? Think about those times. Think about your good moments and accomplishments of 2009. Think of all the good times to come in 2010.
Best wishes from our business to yours.

Hello FPV flyers, below are some details about upcoming plane race.
Short EN version with rules is here.
Race track for first race will be very simple. Small (< 0.5km max range), simple turns, no complex objects. In short:
- All participants and spectators will be standing on hill
- On gate will be on/below electrical cables. They are probably unpowered, but still, do not skip this gate, fly safe
- One object for recognition is behind trees. Remember – you can just reach this point with safe altitude and skip recognition, if you aren't sure about your RC/FPV link quality.
Track coordinates/layout is here (no EN version but track is simple enough).
Still not decided about date – people have different opinions/possibilities, so here is short list (second column – pilots voting for this date):
If you plan to participate in race – register now and pick date (-s) which is OK for you. We will announce date with most pilots at beginning of april.
Why track is so small? We did "long-leg" races (see 2016-3 FPV meeting for example) but let's start from simple things, for beginning. Some people have problems even with 300m range, so let's give them chance to start. We will keep original "long-leg" track for second race, if first will go fine – you can check this video from original (now – second race) location:

So what do readers here think about a so-called day of reckoning for the Bush crime syndicate? Are you expecting one? Do you believe the body politic can support the pursuit of justice against the criminal perpertrators of the Bush years as well as health care?
"Will Bush/Cheney get a pass so 'we can all move forward together' or will Obama demand his predecessors face a reckoning for the horror they've perpetrated?
Will Barack Obama prove to be the man he claims or in the tank for the money power?
Does he have the character worthy of the trust of a nation or will he prove just another in a long line of disappointments?"
There were numerous thoughtful responses to Gottlieb's thread. I posted the following comment:
"I don't believe there will be any reckoning. I hope I'm wrong. Rather, I believe upon taking office the system that inhabits the body politic will advise Obama: you can promote your progressive agenda or you can hold people accountable for the past but you won't be able to do both. And since the so-called new order doesn't have clean hands either, most of the Bush-Cheney cabal that have been looting right to the end (Halliburton, the bailout and so on) won't pay a harsh price in proportion to their crimes.
I know both Obama and Biden have suggested otherwise in their public comments. And I very much hope that a reckoning of justice takes place with convictions and jail time. But it won't. The law catches up to OJ but it won't really catch up to Bush, Cheney, or most of their cabal. Some collateral damage perhaps such as Abramoff or Scooter Libby but a wholesale reckoning won't happen.
Remember Ollie North? He ultimately got rich over Iran-Contra."
Personally, I'm inclined to demand both and believe it's a matter of will and leverage. Actvists and truth tellers such as the progressive blogosphere must insist on accountability should Obama prevail in November. However, as I wrote on Gottlieb's thread, I don't believe a true reckoning will take place just as Bush and Cheney were never impeached while in office.
Instead, we will be given a choice between promoting progressive policy such as health care reform and infrastructure development or justice. If forced to choose then I pick the economy over frog marching Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and George W. Bush. But damn it we shouldn't have to choose. Our country needs accountability for redemption.

The game board and details will be laser cut out from plywood. The board will represent a map of 11 communities in Toronto. Each community will be represented by a cluster of LEDs and banana plug sockets. Players will be provided with cables with banana plugs that can be used to connect the different communities together in any network topology they choose, limited only by open plug slots and lengths of provided cabling. There will be a user control panel with:
1. Momentary push button labeled "Send broadcast"
2. Momentary push button labeled "Send encrypted message"
3. Dial to choose receiving community
The game will be powered by a raspberry pi. It will update LEDs on the board according to player moves.

Our membership packages involve so much more than our amazing
group classes or private training sessions. Upon starting your fitness
training at Farmland, you will get an individualized
assessment with our expert coaching staff, a goal-setting session, and
nutritional guidance. You will also be assigned a Personal Roster Coach to
regularly check in with you and keep you accountable to your goals.
Not only that, we also provide you with a unique app to help you track all your stats and results. You are given all the tools to succeed at Farmland!
We provide expert coaching within a positive and supportive community.
Whether in our popular group classes, in private training and
skill sessions, or through phone and email guidance, we're here to
provide you the very best complete fitness program anyone could offer.
We offer several different monthly membership packages, all depending on
your personal fitness goals and needs.
Because of the uniqueness of our program and facility, the best way to know how we can help you is to schedule your complimentary 1-on-1 Introductory Consultation session. It is the first step in your fitness journey.
Your first workout at CrossFit Farmland will be a fun and challenging experience. Each class starts with a dynamic warm-up. Then it's skill training, instruction and movement standards for the WOD (Workout of the Day). When your coach says "3-2-1, go!" the challenge begins, and our community of athletes push themselves and encourage others to achieve elite fitness.
Our community class is designed for universal scalability. That is, anyone can participate. Additionally, we offer different programs and levels of programming for you if you're just starting to get the feel for how it all works and the fit to your current ability level.
No. New members participate in our Beginners class and then transition into any scheduled group classes they'd like. The beauty of CrossFit is that all exercises are based on movements that you already do in your daily life, like squatting, pushing and pulling. Exercises are scaled to both inspire the beginner and to challenge the most elite athlete.
No. (Seriously, NO!) There is a common misconception that CrossFit is for
elite athletes. The truth is that it is for everyone. Sure, we say that
we are "forging elite fitness," and we are. But that's only because we
are using the most effective training program on the planet. This means you start on the journey from where you are today. And if you stay on our
path, it's likely you will get into the best physical, emotional
and physical shape of your life.
Our community is comprised of competitive athletes, former athletes, working professionals, people that had never stepped foot into a gym, and people with physical ailments. Allow us to get you into the best shape of your life ... and get the mental freedom that comes with it!
We always have a coached group warm-up session before the Workout of the Day. If you find yourself with a little extra time before or after class, feel free to start warming up on your own, practice skills, or just socialize. All we ask is that you come in ready to do some work!
No. Maximum benefits are derived from both intensity and recovery. We offer a
complete health and fitness program, and so we recommend that you take
time to recover so that you perform your best at every session. This
will prevent injury and backsliding from over-training.
You'll be surprised to learn that the volume of training doesn't reflect your fitness or progression. Talk to one of our coaches to choose the schedule that meets your specific goals, especially if you're using CrossFit as your conditioning program for a specific sport.
On the other end of the spectrum, we do want to see people coming in on a regular basis. Generally, the CrossFit prescription is 3 days on and 1 day off. Our specific style of programming is a 2 on, 1 off, 3 on, 1 off prescription. Of course, life (and your work schedule) doesn't always see it our way. So at a minimum, we want you in 3 to 4 days per week. Your success matters to us, and the only way to achieve that is if you come in consistently.
CrossFit is about variance and adaptation. We program our workouts for General Physical Preparedness, or GPP. We don't have leg days, back- and bi- days, or cardio days. We believe the body is a whole system, and so we strengthen it as a whole.
Our coaches also give you basic education in diet and nutrition. We believe that nutrition is the foundation of health and fitness and that how we feed our bodies determines how quickly we achieve the results we want.
So, for you, this all means you'll be a better runner than the best weight-lifter, a better lifter than the best marathoner, and generally physically prepared for anything in your everyday life. Plus you'll live in a healthy body with a strong, lean physique. The best part is that every workout is led by a qualified coach, and you're joined by like-minded people who want to be and feel better.
You will feel successful! And you'll also most likely feel the sense of belonging that comes with sweating with a community of athletes, many of whom you probably didn't expect to be the CrossFitter type! You'll have a better understanding of how classes are run and the method behind what we do. Most likely you will learn new things, be a little bit sore, and feel excited to come back for more.
CrossFit teaches 9 Foundational Movements. The mastery of these 9 movements correlate directly to the efficiency of the exercises performed during your workouts, and they transfer to the development of other skills you see often in WODs. They are: Air Squat, Front Squat, Overhead Squat, Shoulder Press, Push Press, Push Jerk, Deadlift, Sumo Deadlift High Pull, and Medicine Ball Clean.
of these movements are covered in class to guarantee your comfort in
executing them properly and effectively.
Other movements and exercises include: Pull-ups, Push-ups, Sit-ups, Jump Rope, Box Jumps, Running/Sprinting, Rowing, Gymnastic Ring Work, Dumbbell Work, Kettlebell Swings, Wall Balls, Static Holds, and various others.
While this list may seem foreign or intimidating, please note that every single one of them is modifiable and scalable to meet your skill level and needs. Let us show you how!

Why does somebody's way of working / behaving feel so strange to us? Why are some people driven by strategic long-term view and other want to have more operative step by step approach?
People are different in many natural ways – e.g. how we make decisions, communicate, reflect, give and receive feedback and drive changes. Nordic Chamber of Commerce will organize a breakfast meeting on Thursday the 17th of January to learn and reflect together on Natural Tendencies & diversity in people behaviour.
Speaker: Olli Torvinen - LinkedIn - TribalConsulting is a management & strategy consulting company working with top leaders and talents from multinational companies European wide. www.tribalconsulting.eu
During this session we will:
- go briefly through theory behind Natural Tendencies Analysis (NTA – used more than 35.000 times) with examples and reflections
- learn to understand our strong points & development areas
- reflect how to lead different people
- identify our natural role in e.g. change and communication process
- perform a self-assessment and receive a professional NTA report (normally priced for 75EUR)
Increased understanding in these things will help us to build high performance & inclusive teams and utilize individual strengths in our organizations.
we start with breakfast 8.30 and follow with session at 9.00 o'clock

I was talking with Liam last night about a bunch of thematic stuff in regards to Addict; naturally my computer crashed in the night, I did not have the foresight to save the log, and I barely remember the conversation because it occured at 1 AM. What I do remember seems pretty important, though, so I'll post about it, and I'm sure everything else will show up in bits and pieces later.
I've got an important question, and please, if you've been stopping by here much at all, I would love if you'd answer it for me: to you, what do you see this game as being about?
Liam doesn't like the rules which tie the characters together socially and emotionally, because he believes this game is just as affective if it's about four drunks dying alone. I was surprised, because– as I keep saying– this is not supposed to be a game specifically about substance abuse. It's a game about recovering from dysfunction and obsession, whatever those dysfunctions or obsessions are. The game in my mind was centered around dysfunctional relationships– because your relationship with your Obsession is so dysfunctional, ALL of your relationships become dysfunctional. I am starting to get the feeling that this is not what my game does well.
I've spent a lot of time and energy trying to appropriately model the experience of addiction and recovery, which can be a rewarding narrative on its own; since addiction is such an intensely nuanced thing, I don't know that there's room in the system for even more relationship-based mechanics than I've got, or how much that would muddy the experience. And, I mean, addiction is essentially a relationship between the addict and the obsession; everything else really is incidental. So if this really is where this game is headed, I can accept that.
I'm thinking that once I've got Addict in a marginally workable, first-draft-completion kind of form, I'm going to take the lessons I learned here and write a game that really focuses on quirky, broken dynamics between emotionally close people, within a family or close group of friends. Probably with a lighter tone, because man, addiction is Sadville USA, population: one.
Maybe someday I'll write a game about happy, functional people having healthy relationships and, I don't know, hugging puppies and planting flowers. We'll see.

Data! DATA!! DATA!!! So much data? an endlessly grueling component of every information security practitioner's job description is data analysis. Often, digging through an environment for vulnerabilities or configuration flaws involves scrounging through reams of log data. It is not uncommon to find your eyes glazing over while staring at giant walls of text on plain backgrounds and contemplating how exactly your life choices have landed you? here. What could make your gray text on black background daydreams better? Rainbows of course!
Getting pygmentize?
Wait, what? That's right, pygmentize is not a part of the standard build for most Linux operating systems you need to install it first. Kali Linux is an exception to this rule and is generally packaged with pygmentize included out of the box. On Linux distributions in the Debian family (Ubuntu, Kali, Raspbian, TAILS) pygmentize can be installed like this:
sudo apt-get install python-pygments
Methods Covered in this Section
pygmentize specifying theming:
pygmentize -O bg=dark,style=colorful /path/to/file
pygmentize files without a specified file extension (and optional piping to less)
pygmentize -g /path/to/file | less -R
Pygments is a generic syntax highlighter suitable for use in code hosting, forums, wikis or other applications that need to prettify source code. Highlights are:
- a wide range of over 300 languages and other text formats is supported
- special attention is paid to details that increase highlighting quality
- support for new languages and formats are added easily; most languages use a simple regex-based lexing mechanism
- a number of output formats is available, among them HTML, RTF, LaTeX and ANSI sequences
- it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library
- ... and it highlights even Perl 6!
From the pygments home page: http://pygments.org
Using pygmentize is very straightforward:
Normal. Drab. Bash.
Pygmentize adds a splash of color with a single command!
To make pygmentize even less cumbersome we can add the following alias for "color cat" to our
alias ccat='pygmentize -O bg=dark,style=colorful'
NOTE: If you use a light colored terminal background try bg=light for easier readability
Now for colorful cat output we just need to run ccat.
As you can see in the above output chain ccat is quite handsome! Until it is not... Sometimes when running pygmentize you might see the following error:
To solve this error we just need to add the
-g (guess) flag. The guess flag will attempt to use the contents of the file to guess how syntax highlighting should be performed.
Not perfect but at least it's colorful
The last pygmentize tidbit is how to colorize files that are too large to see the contents all at once (the previous /etc/passwd file for example). Normally, this can be handled by piping the command output into less:
ccat -g /etc/passwd | less
Well that's? interesting
The ANSI color escape sequences used by pygmentize are lost when less tries to print them out. In order to work around this we can use the -R flag to preserve raw control characters.
ccat -g /etc/passwd | less -R
Much better
While pygmentize doesn't functionally add much to our pentesting tool belt it is a simple way to make working with text files a bit less drab and perhaps somewhat more fabulous!

The chairs are smart and good quality. Unfortunately the box they were in was in pieces! The chairs were fine. I would definitely recommend them.

PALM BEACH — President Donald Trump's first four weeks in office have already had an impact on Palm Beach County.
The visits to his second home at Mar-a-Lago have imposed $1.5 million (and counting) in local security costs, hurt businesses at the Lantana airport and fueled local protests.
But what about the bigger picture?
The Palm Beach Post's Wayne Washington takes a look at some of the longer-range impacts — on housing, the environment, Herbert Hoover Dike repairs, trade and immigration — for Palm Beach County in this article at MyPalmBeachPost.com

From Angela Poynter on FB: Just what I needed today, very powerful. I do miss my kids being at home and all the laughs, but I am enjoying that I have more time with the Lord, with my husband and of course love those grandkidsReplyDelete
From Danese Linderman on FB: How very true....such wise words to live !ReplyDelete
All mine are still home, ages 16 to 24, but I am cherishing the moments because I KNOW the next stage is coming soon!!ReplyDelete
From Susan Dye on FB: I enjoyed each stage of my life. The last two are teens (which gives me lots of freedom!) and the grandbabies are coming now. I have so much time for Bible reading and study! The Lord grows me in each stage.ReplyDelete
From Sherry Lochner on FB: I'm about to be there as my youngest goes to college this fall,and this is on top of a military move this summer further away from family. I'm praying already for God's will in it.ReplyDelete
From Deb Kramer on FB: Very nice, timely and needed post.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the sweet reminder of just being "all in" the current moment. It amazes me how quickly time passes without me wishing for it to do so. And as hard as it is for me to believe, I'm currently finding myself in the early stages of the "empty next" with our oldest three children of our seven eternal blessings, and it's truths of what's next are glaring right into my heart...& I'm finding early on right now that I'm so grateful I won't have to enter this next stage of my motherhood all alone & empty, but rather fully aware of His ever-close presence, anticipating what God has next for me as we all grow older together, striving to do His will & anticipating His return. Whether our next is empty or full is a choice of the heart. <3 I choose His grace to be FULLY next--fully Him & never empty. :)ReplyDelete
From Elsa C on FB: Yes, I do miss the meny times we had so much to celebrate, but as they get older, get married and have their own family, meny time you don't hear from themReplyDelete
and then comes loneliness because they have no time for you, mine while you pray for all of your family (children and grandchildren)
From DeAnna V on FB: need this, and need to love this stage, the days are long but the years go fast!ReplyDelete
From Barbara M on FB: Great thoughts. So true!ReplyDelete
From Maria S on FB: Thank you! I needed this today.😀 I am in the toddler, diaper changing, waking in the night stage. Many times guilty of just waiting for the next stage instead of looking for the blessings of today! Thank you for the reminder to be content where I am!ReplyDelete

Ola Brunkert
No suspicious circumstances have been suggested by investigators. Björn and Benny have led those paying tribute to Ola Brunkert, who is a very familiar name and face to ABBA fans. Ola's death (at age 62) is very sad news indeed and our condolences go to Ola's family and friends.
There are many English-speaking press sites running the story worldwide, and the Swedish media is naturally covering the story heavily. You can read some of the articles below with quotes from Benny, Björn, Janne Schaffer and Mats Ronnander…
Daily Telegraph:
The drummer for the Swedish pop group Abba has been found dead with his throat cut after he accidentally walked through a glass door.
Ola Brunkert, 61, crashed head first through the door in his kitchen at his home on Majorca, wounding his neck on a shard of glass.
He managed to wrap a towel around his neck and left the house to seek help, but collapsed in the garden and bled to death.
His body was discovered in the garden of his villa in Arta on the island's northeastern coast by a neighbour on Sunday evening.
Police said an autopsy confirmed that Mr Brunkert's death had been an accident. Mr Brunkert lived alone and there was no sign of a break in, police said.
Members of the band yesterday paid tribute to their onetime drummer.
Bjorn Ulvaeus, one of the four lead singers who leapt to fame after performing their song Waterloo in the 1974 Eurovision song contest, said that Mr Brunkert had been "one of the best".
"I remember him as a good friend when we worked together in the mid-1970s. He was a very creative musician who contributed a lot when we toured together and worked in the studio," he said.
Benny Andersson spoke of his sadness at the drummer's death, describing it as "tragic".
Mr Brunkert, who was originally from Stockholm, was a session musician who was in Abba's original line-up in the 1970s, continuing to work with the band into the 1980s.
He worked on all the group's albums and performed on tour with them. He moved to Majorca about 20 years ago and was a member of a local jazz band.
Mr Brunkert, who was a widower, is survived by a son, who also lives on the island.
The Swedish press are also, of course, reporting the story…
From Dagens Nyheter:
It's incredibly sad that Ola Brunkert is gone, he meant a great deal to Abba, especially during our first records, says Benny Andersson.
– Last time I met him was in the beginning of last year when he was in Sweden for an Abba tribute that Claes Af Geijerstam had put together with a lot of our old musicians. Ola was a fine man.
From Aftonbladet:
"He was a very good friend" – Björn Ulvaeus mourns his colleague.
Björn Ulveaus, Mats Ronnander and Janne Schaffer mourn for Ola Brunkert not just as a music associate but also as a friend.
– He was a very good friend says Björn Ulveaus
Colleague and Abba member Björn Ulveaus is undoubtly shocked when he finds out that Ola Brunkert has been found dead in Mallorca.
– It's so sad. He was very important to Abba during our first years. It was he who played the drums in the beginning to start with. He was one of the best drummers in the country says Björn Ulveaus.
"Kind and Humble"
– He was nice , humble, artistic and creative. He always had something to contribute. He was also a very dear friend he says.
Music associate and guitar player Mats Ronnander hadn't heard that Ola has passed away when Aftonbladet called him.
– No what are you saying?. I have to sit down. God, how sad he says.
Mats Ronnander played with Abba a number of years with Ola Brunkert. As late as spring the both participated in a tribute tour for Abba in Sweden.
– I feel a deep sadness. We have worked together a lot and gotten to know each other, he says.
Guitarist Janne Schaffer worked with Ola Brunkert under many years. Among other things the were part of the same trio in the 70's. They also played together with Abba and Ted Gärdestad.
– It's incredibly sad . My thoughts goes out to his sons who has now lost both their parents, he says.
Many thanks to Jimmy Whitefield for the main translations from Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter plus an additional item from Aftonbladet.
