Song Lyrics
Some of these songs are from "Florida Moon" which was recorded in the Spring of 2002 at Hole in Pigeon
Studios (aka. Grain of Salt) here in Jacksonville, Florida. A few were recorded at Gina Martinelli's studios in Jacksonville
early in 2005.
VETERAN'S DAY PARADE Every year they close downtown/Main street's barricade/And all the people come to see the
Veteran's Day parade/Between the floats and High School bands, too proud to ignore/The survivors of America's great wars./CHORUS:
Some of them in wheelchairs/Some with heads held high/The Veteran's Day Parade goes by./I worked in a hospital/I worked for
the V.A./I saw those men and women too, everyday/Taking 12 steps for addictions/Pills for post trumatic stree/And physical
therapy for the amputee/And everything htey had to say lay left unsaid/As they moved between the shadows of the living and
the dead./CHORUS/My country 'tis of thee/Sweet land of liberty of thee I sing./ I traveled to the Capital, to touch the wall/
And to walk the hallowed grounds of Arlington/And as I read the names there, the shadows of their stones/Began to grow long
with the setting sun/And as I thought about those folks who lived and died/I thought that I saw something in the clouds up
in the sky/CHORUS/My country tis of thee/Sweet land of liberty of thee I sing. INVISIBLE HANDS Invisible Hands
are helping me/They're moving things that I don't see/It's hard to explain rationally/About the inivisible hands (Repeat)/Like
links in a chain or thread through a rope/A little bit of love and a little bit of hope/One act of kindness leads to another/He
helps a sister, she helps a brother/I'm not a superstious guy/I don't always know the reason why/These things happen the way
they do/Sometimes things come out of the blue/When my heart is in the right place/When my soul is in a good place/Good things
happen I don't know why/It's just something that seems true/CHORUS/ Some people say that they have angels in their lives/Some
people say it's Karmic Law/I don't pretend to say that I'm so wise that I realize/What's going on./I am just a simple man/There's
so much that I don't understand/But there's one thing that I know/People reap what people sow/Maybe it's a law or some kind
of rule/I dunno but I know it's true/Love is gonna happen to you/If that's what you're dishing out/When my heart is in the
right place/When my soul is in a good space/Good things happen I don't know why/But there ain't no doubt.../CHORUS. RASTA
TRUCK DRIVER Came down here from Kingston Town/Down on my luck/Land of opportunity/Teach me how to drive a truck/Came
up here to Jacksonville/Where they teach the big machines/Made me wear my dreadlocks under my cap/How about that?!/Chorus:
Just a Rasta Truck Driver/Driving down these roads of Babylon/Reggae rasta truck driver/How I love my freedom (Repeat)/Through
the rain and through the snow/Keep on trucking on/How I miss my Baby/How she loves me when I'm gone/I learned to love this
country/I learned to love this road/I make their money go around and around/What a heavy heavy load/CHORUS/Ohh, its a long
long lonely road to go/When you're so far away from home/Ohh, it's such a long long lonely way to go/But I keep on smiling/I
just keep on smiling/Repeat second verse/CHORUS. (THIS IS) MY HOUSE Out on the streets/The world seems so
cold/But I know there's one place I can go/This is my house/This is my house/We'll do it my way if that's ok/'Cause this is
my house/Some people feel the need to shout/They don't always know what they're talking about/This is my house/This is my
house/You got the right on some other night/But this is my house/I 'preciate you coming to spend/A little time with me, my
friend/This world is so full of crazies and fools/I got my own style and my own set of rules/You got your opinions/That much
I can see/But what you think don't mean much to me/This is my house/This is my house/You can have it your way on some other
day/But this is my house./This is my house/This is my house/This is my house/This is my house/Just listen to me/That's how
it's gonna be/You're in my house. ST. JOHNS RIVER TALKIN' BLUES The St. Johns River is a grand old river that
flows from the south to the sea/It's 300 miles of timeless magic and Florida majesty/It starts in the swamps near Vero Beach
and heads north where it takes a notion/To meander up the state through Jacksonville and then out into the ocean/(Some people
say it runs backwards 'cause it goes from the south to the north/But I just tell them they're looking at it from the wrong
direction)/The river's got a hundred fishcamps or more where a fella can sit for a spell/And the old men there will rave about
the one that got away-Do tell!/They got cattle down there that graze in the river and yeah, they got cowboys too/They don't
ride the range like they do out west/They use airboats--I swear it's true/(If you have a problem visualizing a cowboy on an
airboat with his horse, well, just think about it for a minute, it'll come to you)./The St.Johns River has a lot of wildlife
of every shape and size/Manatees and turtles, Eagles and Ospreys/And it should come as no surprise that you might even see
a gator or two (Down visiting from the University of Florida--Talk about your wildlife)./The St. Johns River makes it way
up slowly through the Sunshine State and then/It passes by the good people of Palatka/But that's where the trouble begins/There's
a company there that just don't care pouring poison into the stream/At a rate of 60 million gallons a day/It's enough to make
you scream/(To be specific--It's Georgia Pacific)/Now Georgia Pacific makes some fine products/And they give a lot of people
jobs/But what GP's doing to the St. Johns River/They ain't nothing less than slobs/All that dioxin and lead and chlorine and
stuff/It's gonna make some people ill/It's a good thing for Georgia-Pacific that river runs North away from Palatka--through
Jacksonville)./The St. Johns River is a slow moving river/It only dips an inch every mile/So to clean itself up of gunk and
pollution, it's gonna take a good little while/I hate to say anything bad about people and I hope you know it's true/But when
your neighbor pours his garbage into your backyard, well, what's a fella to do? (They hired Richard Petty, the NASCAR driver
to be their spokesman/Now I like Richard Petty;That's hitting below the belt)./One day I hope to write a different ending
to my little song/And we'll sing about how the St. John's River keeps on roll, rolling along/And maybe one day that grand
old river will be free of all that garbage and slime/But meanwhile what Georgia-Pacific is doing to the St. johns River, An
American Heritage, Well, it's just a stinking crime! (It's gonna take a lot of paper towels to clean up that mess, the super
absorbent kind!) I LOVE G.R.I.T.S. When they ask me do I loke Grits/I can't get enough of it/Love 'em in the
morning/Love 'em in the evening/Love 'em in the afternoon/Don't need no napkins/Don't need no fork and spoon/CHORUS:I love
GRITS, Girls Raised In The South/I love GRITS, Girls Raised In The South/They're so good for you/They're what it's all about./I
took Linda Sue on an airboat ride/She sat there right by my side/I tried to date her/She said "Later"/"Look out Linda, that's
a big alligator!"/She jumped in my lap and that was that/Now we're getting married next Spring/CHORUS/Now I got nothing 'gainst
the girls up north/They ain't breakfast but they're three course/There's nothing wrong witht eh girls out west/But good homecooking's
what I love best/If they ask me "Do I like grits?"/More than just a little bit/Me and my baby/I'm driving her crazy/I'd cook
a little breakfast but I'm too damned lazy/I think instead we'll just stay in bed/We'll just stay here all day long/CHORUS.
It was May the third, 1901/Just another fine Florida Day. Out in the city of Jacksonville, they were working and earning
their pay. At the Cleveland Fiber Comapny, drying spanish moss out on the floor. When some sparks from a chimney settled on
in, started smoke rising up, nothing more. The men tried to dampen and put out the sparks, but they spread too fast across
the floor and the fire that rose from the old spanish moss sent the workers running to the doors.
CHORUS: That was the day that we'll always remember, those terrible sights and sounds. That's the day hell came to Florida/The
day Jacksonville burned to the ground.
The fire spread quickly from bldg to bldg as it took on a life of its own/The fire rose up, higher & higher, burning
factories, churches & homes. The smoke was a-blinding, it was hot as an oven, Women looked for their babies, Men searched
for their wives. There was no time to gather worldy pocessions, there was just enough time to run for their lives. CHORUS
After many sad hours, the fire gave away, As the day settled into the night. And it wasn't 'til morning 'til all of the
people realized the full damage, what a horrible sight. Though their hearts were heavy and they cried many tears, they knew
Jacksonville would rise again. And the losses of history won't let us forget, that nature will always rule over men. CHORUS

The following are a selection of testimonials we have received..
"I have been a client of NPP for several years. Neuro Physiotherapist Becky Duncan has impressed me with the depth of her knowledge of my condition. She is a skilful, experienced professional, with a considerate and caring nature.
Becky's high standards have been maintained and her practice enhanced by both her administrative and physiotherapy colleagues. Despite my physical limitations, Becky and her staff still manage to make me feel positive about my condition.
I count myself fortunate to have found such a high quality physiotherapy practice in my area. NPP has made a huge difference to the long term management of my condition."
C Smith, November 2012
"I just wanted to say thank you for the help you gave me – it really did make such a difference and I don't think I would be in such a good position without it. Hopefully I won't need to see you again, if that makes sense, but I wanted to say thank you and let you know how much you helped."
L Watkins , June 2012
"I simply had to email you to say a huge THANK YOU for recommending and setting up my FES, it has changed my life. Today I've been into a shop that has been inaccessible to me for over a year, it's wonderful. My sister is getting married at the of May and I will be able to walk into the church, it means so much."

It only took a day to demolish a 50-year old house down the street. It was there yesterday morning, a neat but well-worn Californian style bungalow, and it was gone by the evening. Half a century of memories disappeared in a flash; husbands carrying their young brides over the threshold, kids growing up and leaving home, old people dying, the storehouse of memories demolished and the debris gathered up by bobcat, slung onto the back of a truck and carted away to the tip. The gap left was like a black tooth in a complete set of pearly whites; a hole in the streetscape and the neighbourhood psyche. And as far as I could tell nothing was saved for re-cycling, the removal trucks had doors and windows mangled with smashed basins and toilet pans, broken bricks with steel waste pipes, even curtains wrapped around with copper wiring. Probably the cost of labour unpicking the materials and fittings was considered to be more than any re-sale value, or maybe it was the time factor as the builders were on site within a week. Though a visit to any of Perth's salvage yards reveals a cornucopia of used materials and fittings, and an organised industry servicing smart builders and developers who know this source.
What I will miss the most about the house is the shady, vine covered verandah overlooking the street, and the cheerful wave from the old boy on his rocking chair. He is now in a nursing home. You just know the front of the replacement house will be a double garage door dominating the street frontage, plus a pair of entrance doors and windows to the master bedroom. There will be no social engagement between street and house, all the activity will be in the backyard. If there's an old man on a rocking chair, you won't see him, he'll be around the back.
To add insult to injury, a sign appeared on the block this morning 'Another 6 Star Energy Rated House by (builder's name withheld)'. It failed to mention the loss of the energy embedded in the building rubble. An average double brick and tile house on concrete slabs and foundations fully demolished results in about 200 tonnes added to landfill, the concrete and bricks by themselves weigh 180 tonnes and represent hundreds of kilojoules of embedded energy. It will take at least 10 years for the new 6 Star house to offset this loss. A fairer and certainly more holistic energy assessment system would be to put a much greater penalty on the landfill contribution offsetting the overall energy star rating, thus encouraging the retention and recycling of more homes.
It would be wrong to name that particular builder or this one, whose signboard appeared on another cleared site nearby.
Like the vast majority of Western Australian project house builders (another very efficient industry) total demolition and new construction is regarded as more economical than renovation, and claims to meet current market expectations of clients seeking new houses rather than old. There is a love of newness in Perth, evidenced by the quality of bulk rubbish placed on verges for Council collection. My parents had the same bedroom suite all their married lives. But is this love of newness encouraged by builders opting for the simplicity of a cleared site, by banks advising customers to 'maximise' the potential of the block (i.e. build a 4 bed, 2 bath house even though there's only the two of you) or by clients actually preferring new over old?
Houses in Perth of even 30 years vintage, certainly 50 years, are considered old and due for replacement. Its a bit different in Europe and elsewhere, even in the Eastern States, where houses are often weatherboard or brick veneer with tin roofs, making alterations far easier than Perth's double brick and tile house norm. There is greater respect even reverence for the old stock of buildings in Melbourne (shabby chic, somebody once called it's architectural ethos) and newly built structures are often required to empathise with the scale, proportion and external materials of their venerable neighbours. There are proportionately more builders in Melbourne who can economically recycle old houses. I am not arguing for heritage controls, which are often viewed as an impost on homeowners, but a process of appreciating the economic worth of an existing house as well as sustainability, aesthetics and contribution to the streetscape.
You can recycle fizzypop bottles and beer cans, even mobile phones, why can't we recycle our houses in Western Australia?
The New South Wales Government has committed to lessening the amount of construction and demolition waste entering landfill, considered to be 28% of all waste or approximately 2 million tonnes (2006-7 figures). NSW based its booklet on the 2003 publication 'A Guide to Deconstruction' by University of Florida Centre for Construction and Environment.
US data suggests (2003 figures, so pre-GFC) that around 270,000 houses are pulled down annually, with most of the debris ending up in landfill. To imagine the scale of this, one year's demolition debris is sufficient to construct a wall 9 metres high and 9 metres wide around the entire border of the continental United States.
Building construction represents over 30 per cent of the world's resources, including 12 per cent of its water and 40 per cent of its energy. Buildings produce 40 per cent of the waste that goes to landfill and 40 per cent of air emissions. Household energy use contributes about 10 per cent of Australia's total greenhouse emissions.
The NSW Government and USA organisations have defined the different approaches to house deconstruction as:
Demolition – No re-use or re-cycling;
Selective deconstruction – Only recovering materials for re-use or recycling when removal is economically viable;
Complete deconstruction – Systematic, careful dismantling to maximise the amount of material recovered for re-use or recycling.
This last approach should be expanded to include an assessment of the merit of retaining more of the existing structure and other elements, and avoid the excessive costs and time spent on careful dismantling compared to demolition (up to 60% longer and 4 times the cost for a full brick house). Let's for now call this 'reconstruction'.
An easy example of reconstruction is the use of a 1920s weatherboard home (above) typical of Melbourne, which was re-located in the 1980s to CERES Community Environment Park in Brunswick East and is now used as a sustainability education exemplar to show that even homes a century old can be revamped to be sustainable, affordable and contemporary (e.g. now with open planning). Perhaps different systems of building in Western Australia e.g. timber frame, weatherboard will lead towards more recycling. CERES' excellent website includes an interactive tour of the exemplar house:
A study by the British Empty Homes Agency, New Tricks with Old Bricks, is available on their website:
The study estimates that reusing empty homes could save 35 tonnes of carbon dioxide a property by removing the need for the energy expended on new building materials and construction. The study nailed the lie – house builders claiming that new homes are four times more efficient than older houses – proving that refurbished houses can be as just energy efficient as new homes.
The study compared old and new buildings and found that not only did older buildings emit less carbon dioxide, but even a well-insulated new home would take several decades to make up for the large amount of embodied carbon dioxide used in its construction.
It is time to rethink our love of new homes and rediscover the old. And if have to build new, there are significant lessons to be learnt from the past and plenty of re-cycled materials to use instead of new.
The second part of this article will look at a Perth example of converting an old house while addressing the energy shortcomings.

The subject of this thesis pertains to coordination in systems of entities characterised by mobile, real-time behaviour and unreliable communication over a wireless network. Such systems are now being deployed both in academic trials and in real-world scenarios towards the achievement of various goals e.g. search and rescue, surveillance, object tracking, traffic management. Coordinating the behaviour of entities in these systems is a non-trivial task, due to real-time demands, sensor inaccuracies, wireless coverage unreliability and entity mobility, among other concerns. A coordination model is a theoretical framework for the development of strategies by which systems of entities can operate safely towards the achievement of their goals. Comhordú is a coordination model that facilitates the definition of scenarios consisting of a number of entities and a safety constraint. Furthermore, it provides a means of deriving behavioural constraints upon entities such that the safety constraint in a scenario is respected while entities pursue their goals. However, there is no formal proof that this is the case. Moreover, the presentation of Comhordú is not formal and is somewhat fragmented, based mostly on a mixture of prose and UML diagrams. Hence there is a need for its formalisation. There are several benefits to formalising a model. A formal specification avoids the ambiguities often implicit in a natural language description. Also, through the process of formalising a model, often necessary modifications or improvements to the original design become apparent. Furthermore, a formal specification can be subjected to rigorous mathematical analysis, often with the aid of a computer. This work is the first to address the formalisation of Comhordú. The goal is to produce a formal specification of Comhordú along with a verification of its correctness with respect to maintaining safety. That is, for every scenario that can be developed with Comhordú, are the coordination strategies sufficient to guarantee that safety for that scenario is maintained? Preceding a formal specification of Comhordu, critical analysis of the original model is provided. This analysis uncovers a number of ambiguities in the original model and argues that certain aspects of the original model would be difficult to formalise. Following this analysis, modifications are made to the original model yielding a revised model that is more amenable than the original to the process of formalisation. These modifications alone are significant contributions of this work. In light of the modifications made, it is necessary to validate this revised model against the original. That is, the revised model is analysed in how closely it matches the original model. In particular, this analysis focuses on elements from the original that are altered or even wholly absent in the revised model. The revised model is formally specified using a novel formal specification language, developed specifically for the purpose of this work. This language incorporates a general behavioural model for systems of mobile, real-time entities with unreliable wireless communication. Within this language, a protocol is specified; this is based on the idea of behavioural constraints from the original presentation of Comhordu. A proof is provided that this protocol is correct with respect to maintaining safety; roughly speaking the proof says that adherence to the protocol by all entities in a system implies safety in that system. The exact notion of safety is defined later in this thesis. The aforementioned formal specification and proof are encoded using the proof assistant Coq. The language and protocol description are encoded in Gallina, the specification language of Coq. The proof of correctness is partially translated into Coq. That is, the main theorem pertaining to safety is proved in terms of a number of lower level results, some of which are assumed without proof in the machine encoding. For those results left unproved in Coq, sketch proofs are provided by hand. Overall, then, this work achieves the following. The Comhordu model is modified to produce a revised model, which is validated against the original. The revised model is formally specified by means of a novel formal specification language and a term in that language. This formal specification is translated to Gallina, the language of the proof assistant Coq, and the proof of correctness is partially completed using Coq.

Litmus and Salesforce conducted a research together to have a look into the current trends of the market.
image source: Litmus.com
Email opens stabilized
The first thing that we can see from the data set is that the situation is not changing so rapidly anymore – the share of mobile, desktop and webmail opens hardly changed over the course of the year. Mobile of course still dominates around 48-50 percent, with desktop currently only accounting for 22% of opens.
**The market is lagging behind but catching up: **the share of mobile-friendly websites have increased from 74% in June 2014 to 85% in June 2015.
It is no question that that Google's mobile-friendly update have helped with the deeper adoption of responsive designs – for months now Google prefers mobile-friendly pages in search results provided for mobile users.
But emails don't look so good…
While many B2C companies were able to create responsive (or at least mobile-aware) email designs in the last 12 months, the share of desktop-centric designs in email is still 44 percent. It is however positive that mobile-friendliness increased 155% since October 2013.
image source: Litmus.com
Incoherent user experience
Because company emails are lagging behind websites in mobile-friendliness subscriber experiences are very disjointed. There is not only a 29% difference – 16% of mobile-friendly emails lead to desktop-centric websites, which can cause a lot of mobile users to bounce after visiting the site. More than half (52%) of B2C brands seem to lack emails and websites that are both mobile friendly.
Other research confirms that you should move quickly – according to Gartner, 74% of smartphone users are actively using their devices to check their mail, and more than two thirds of Gmail and Yahoo opens are now taking place on mobile platforms.
Litmus says that you should determine how many of your subscribers are using mobile devices to open your emails – we can be fairly confident however that it will be a great portion of them. And even if you currently have more desktop users, you can count on that changing in the next months or years. Which of course means, that **you should go for responsive emails and websites. **
It is far too late for early adoption but not for catching up! For emails you only have to find a quality responsive email editor which is easy to use and you can create cool mobile-friendly emails in no time. We realized that there are many email service providers lacking a quality responsive email editor, that's why we offer EDMdesigner's email editor for 100% white-label integration.
We believe in a future where anybody can create responsive web and email content without writing a single line of code! Thank you for supporting our cause with a share 😉

A massive complex with terrace shops and two office towers will be built at Sydney's Martin Place station under a proposal likely to be given the green light by the NSW government.
The development, to be built in and around the metro station by banking giant Macquarie Group, will mirror overseas precincts such as New York's World Trade Centre station.
An "all-weather walkway" from Martin Place to Hunter Street will be included, while shops and restaurants will sit on elevated street terraces.
"The integrated station and over-station development allows for a design that would offer natural light down to the platform level, improved access for customers throughout the station precinct and significantly more public concourse space," the investment bank said in a statement.
It's unsolicited proposal to develop the prime site in the heart of the CBD moved to the third stage of the government's assessment process for such offers on Thursday.
Transport Minister Andrew Constance has welcomed the proposal.
Construction on new metro tunnels begins next year but the minister said there was still a way to go before any agreement with Macquarie regarding the station revamp could be finalised.
"The details need to be considered to ensure value for money for taxpayers before being approved by NSW cabinet," a spokesman told AAP on Friday.
The project is expected to cost more than $1 billion and will be paid for by Macquarie, which will be able to lease out space in return.
The bank already owns property adjacent to an entrance to the new station.

After what seems a long " summer " period with the main pond deserted, or almost deserted , it is nice to have a few birds swimming about !
The two Mute swans that I mentioned a few days ago that my wife's photo here shows, as well as our solitary juvenile Moorhen, still puzzled as to why it's parents left ? and we have also had a hand full of Mallards visiting of and on. So something at least to watch !!

I think this may have changed recently as I am sure it used to default to visible. Generally I am adding a field because I want to do something with it, so I need to see it!

Young children are instinctive scientists. Their innate inquisitiveness allows for the development of skills such as observation, description and questioning. This workshop uses the "Butterflies in my Backyard" resource to explain the guided inquiry approach to learning science, and shows how making children active agents in their learning enhances ownership and motivation.
Using the Five E's approach, develop students' critical thinking and problem solving skills as they increase their awareness of the importance of biodiversity in the ecosystem.

Viral, a recent viral term. Wordplay, that's one of the important factors to create a viral video. Virality in marketing is like giving your brand an adrenaline boost. It is capable of generating traffic, leads and sales within a very short period of time. We know the how to's for it, and we have the best production team to help deliver it.
Brand Awareness
Overnight people start 'Googling' to know who you are, that's what viral content gets you
Social Buzz
Yes, it is a thing. "#viral #yourbrand/product/service – trending," Well this is good enough to… bring in a strong brand image.
Relevant leads
Viral content is also a means of generating relevant leads and targeting your audience within a short period of time.
We know Social video generates 1200% more shares than text and image content combined and when it becomes a sensation, the numbers go beyond that. Viral videos bring a lot of traction to your brand reach and have the power to change the outlook of your brand overnight. When done right the result is much visible on your website traffic, whereby your sales funnel begins running like a horse. We take great care and attention when it comes to viral content. Be it our scriptwriters or strategists, we know how to turn heads. It's viral or it's not. Enough said!

FAQ | Newsletter Sign Up | 888.464.1875
I like my Galco Safari Ching Sling for hunting. It's lightweight, comfortable on the shoulder and easy/stable to shoot from. Only requires 2 swivels. It is not quick adjusting like the others have mentioned, but I've found I don't need that on a hunting rifle. Everyone's needs and preferences are different. I'm a simpleton and like to set-it-and-forget-it.
I had a TAB Gear sling on a 700 Varmint. I liked it a lot. The same guy made up a few UL versions of the TAB for EdT and a few others here years ago. Maybe we could do a group buy?
I found the original Ching (Turner Saddlery) that came with my Steyr Scout to be a bit much. I prefer Andy's one-inch version of the Ching much better. The Ching is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. If you have arms like an orangutang, you'll need a longer middle strap, let Andy know when you order.
I like the V-Tac sling best, from Viking Tactics. I'm used to the way they operate from having used them on active duty, I like their versatility for different types of carry, I like how they can be used as a shooting aid, and they are well-made to last a long time. I run a V-Tac on just about every long gun I own.
Agreed. I have one on my GSR. Took a bit to get used to for drawing it up quick, but once you are used to how it works that is one solid and comfortable sling. Well made too.

Some ill-organized notes for the Apache HTTP client, Java classes HttpClient,
HttpStatus, etc.
I don't know how old this information is that I've ripped off here. See also
Method getResponseBody will return a byte array containing the data in
the response body. However, this is not always the way data is returned. The
HEAD method does not use this and I have yet to find out why or how it does it
Other options, with caveat, are:
I'm figuring out how to get the metadata back using the HEAD method since the
HEAD method eschews passing information back in the response body.
"Use the local copy if you cached it." Apparently, this is often seen when
using the HEAD method, rather than the GET method. Nevertheless, HCAP appears
to pass back 200 OK.
At a shallow level, this is how it works:

So much preparation and thought goes into your child when you have a child with special needs but it is well worth the effort. I feel that my children are better off with all the support and professional advice that we have received and continue to receive and apply as a result of their respective diagnoses than they would have been if they were any other child because it has forced me to be a more informed and conscious parent. Any of the things that I do with my boys are applicable to any other child for supporting, encouraging and helping them be the best that they can be (with vulnerabilities that they are not ashamed of).
Powerful and thought-provoking.

It's that time of year again, when the men grow outrageous moustaches and the women whip out the waterproof mascara to take the men on – it's Movember! Movember & Sons is a UK registered charity that raises awareness of testicular and prostate cancer by getting people involved. This morning was the Movember 10k in Milton Keynes and I popped out to cheer the runners on and take some photos. Sit back and relax…

Chamonix 10k 2012
This weekend is the Mont Blanc Marathon weekend and I entered the 10k – it was an eventful race!
For the love of running
With 2011 almost over and my last race of the year finished, I've been reflecting on my love of running. Just why do I love it so much? Enough to make me buy a headtorch and run on cold winter's nights. Enough to get myself back up again after falling flat on my face and finish that run. Enough to get up early, drive to a race and run til I've got nothing left to give and then some. Coping with bad weather, sore toes and cold noses is just part of the runners winter skill set. I've pulled muscles, am about to lose a toe nail and grazed myself in places you can't even imagine with a fall. Yet I still love it – why?
BHF Santa Jog
Yesterday, I ran 8k around Willen Lake in Milton Keynes with a bunch of unlikely runners all dressed up as Santa Clauses! It was a cold and windy run and I was glad for the extra layer that of the Santa outfit (provided as part of the race entry). The race was 1, 2 or 3 laps of the lake and I'm pleased to report that I was the first lady Santa to cross the line at 4k and 8k. I decided to quit while I was ahead and not run the other lap just so I could say 'I won'!
Dirt Half Marathon
It was the Dirt Half Marathon yesterday – the event I've been training for since returning from the Alps in August. I'd seen a running coach, trained hard, avoided illness and injury and arrived healthy and fit on the start line. What would the race hold for me? I had no idea how fast I was, how hard it was going to be on my body or what the course was really like. I woke up yesterday morning and thought 'Yikes'!
Night Running
Don't let the lack of light put you off running, get yourself a light and a running buddy and hit the trails! Every year as soon as the clocks change I swap my weekday runs to indoor aerobics workouts. This year I really want to keep my hard earning milage up so that I don't have to start over again in spring.
Blacks Northface Singletrack 10k Trail Race
This morning I got up early (well 8am) and popped over to Dunstable Downs for the Blacks Northface Singletrack 10k Trail Race. It was a bright, crisp autumn morning so I donned a few extra layers to keep warm before the start – looking down at myself I realised that I should have won a special prize for the most amount of Northface clothing any one person can wear. Honestly, apart from my bra and sunglasses it was all Northface. Alas this went unnoticed and no prize was given!

There are definite tiers to the quality of barbecue you get at baseball games. I don't think anything can ever top the smoked turkey sandwich I got at the Gates BBQ stand at Kaufmann Stadium in Kansas City. Not only was it the best barbecue sandwich I have ever had at a stadium, it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had anywhere. Boog's BBQ at Camden Yards was also very good. Unfortunately I did not have a digital camera back when I ate at those places (but even if I did, I wasn't obsessed with taking pictures of my food back then.) Even some minor league foods, like the pulled pork nachos at Autozone Park in Memphis, or the brisket sandwich at PGE Park in Portland, are good.
Then there is the other end of the spectrum: the crock-pot cooked, sugary-sauce drenched stuff they used to serve in my high school cafeteria. That's what I got when I ordered a pulled pork sandwich at a Quakes game. Should I have expected something different at a Class A park in Southern California? Probably not. But it was still really bad. From now on at the Epicenter I will stick to hot dogs.

Roof repairs
This year I will need to fix the roof of my house. I am afraid I can not postpone it anymore. I have done it for couple of years and I fear that it won't take another winter. If I do not have it fixed until the first snow, I risk having water infiltrating inside the house and then the I will have to spend even more for repairs. If we will get as much snow as last year, I have the feeling it will collapse. I need to change it this year!
Luckily my friend Tom mentioned me about the private lender that helped him in his dark hour. He even volunteered to guide me throughout the process, so it would take less time. What can I say, I am blessed to have such good friends.
When my wife left me, half of our common friends went with her. Until that moment, I considered them my friends as well, but I guess the feeling was not mutual They were accepting me or tolerating me. Once she was gone, I never heard again from any of them. In the first weeks after we announced our separation, I tried reached two of them. I called them and invited them out for a drink. The first one refused me politely invoking a silly excuse, while the second did not even bother to answer my calls or replied to any of my messages.
Seeing that I was left all alone, I did not bother to contact any of them. I realized that they all took her side, although they were no sides to be taken. Sheila and I separated because we fell out of love. We had no more the passion that bonded us in the first years. We barely spent time together or talked to each other. We agreed that it was better for us to go separate ways, shake hands and still be friends. Just like my grandpa' used to say: "better happy on our own than miserable together".
I am currently looking for someone to do the roof. I called a few companies and asked for a quotation. I was hoping to get a better price than what all of them had offered me. Anyway, I will chose the cheaper one. For the little money left from the loan (that in case I get approved soon), I will have to get some paint from Rona and give a new coat of paint on my bedroom's walls.

Re: Can switch back to the $30 plan if I switch to another prepaid plan?tmo_marissa Mar 8, 2017 3:25 PM (in response to takstar99)
- Member Since: Sep 7, 2016
Welcome takstar99! Thanks for asking - I'm glad you checked before making changes! Since the $30 Pay In Advance plan is an exclusive plan for devices purchased from Walmart, when you switch to a different plan, you're not able to simply switch back. You would be able to move from Pay As You Go to a different one of our Pay In Advance plans, but if you wanted the $30 plan again you would need to purchase a new device kit from Walmart - which would start you with a new number as well. The discounted rate is definitely awesome, but if you find yourself needing less, then it's important to be aware of this limitation prior to making changes! The best thing I can recommend is to try to do a cost estimate to determine if overall you'll save more by retaining this plan even on months where you don't need as much in the way of minutes/messages/data, or by moving back and forth between plans and purchasing new kits. Thanks again for posting - please let me know if you have any more questions!
- Marissa

If you've been reading my blog very long, you know I am somewhat obsessed with books. I'm constantly reading, usually more than one book at a time. One of my blogging goals is to focus more on books - what I'm reading, what I love, new books and new authors, and more giveaways.
Each month, I'll bring to you my current reading list. You'll see quite an eclectic mix - lots of Christian fiction (mostly mystery/suspense, some YA dystopian, a few historicals, the occasional horror) and non-fiction about faith and life and whatever strikes my fancy at the moment.
The links I share will generally be for the Kindle version of the book. I do the vast majority of my reading on my iPad Kindle app. While I love the feel (and smell) of a good hard copy of a book, my iPad goes everywhere with me, so it's much easier to read on it. Plus, as I said earlier, I usually read several books at once, and it's really hard to lug around a bag of books when I'm at work, waiting for an appointment, or running errands.
I plan to post my reading list here on the first Friday of each month. You can also follow my book obsession at Goodreads and on my Pinterest board Books To Read in 2015. Here's what I'm working on in January:
Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist
I love Shauna's writing style! Bread and Wine is one of my very favorite books. I picked up Cold Tangerines on sale a few months back and am just now getting to read it. In her words, Cold Tangerines is "a shameless appeal for celebration." In a world that grows angrier by the day, she calls us to focus on the joys that surround us. Shauna tells stories in a way that makes you feel as if you're sitting around a table with old friends, sipping coffee and talking about life.
The King by Steven James
I got behind on my favorite series. The final book, Checkmate, was released last month, but I have to get this one read first. As always, I was hooked for the beginning. Patrick Bowers is one of my favorite fictional characters ever. I can't wait to dive into Checkmate when this one is finished.
The Mountains Bow Down by Sibella Giorello
Another favorite series that I'm behind on. I started Sibella's YA series and am anxiously awaiting the next installment in it. While I wait, I'm catching up on FBI agent Raleigh Harmon's cases - and in this book, her Alaskan cruise gone wrong.
Warzone by Amryn Cross
I have a pre-order with Amazon for this one. Technically, I've already read it, since I was honored to be a beta reader for Amryn's second book. Her first, Learning to Die, was on my list of favorite books for 2014. As soon as my finished copy arrives, though I'm reading it again. There may also be a giveaway of this one coming up, so stay tuned for details.
What are you reading this month?

Capital talk: Keying into an opportunity
Whether one is a self-employed businessman or a professional, success usually comes to those who have the best understanding of the people around them and can be at ease with a pauper as well as the king.chandigarh Updated: May 24, 2015 09:47 IST
Whether one is a self-employed businessman or a professional, success usually comes to those who have the best understanding of the people around them and can be at ease with a pauper as well as the king.
At most levels in our work-life, technical expertise are taken for granted or you would not have the job in the first place. However, for success to be yours for the taking there has to be the X-factor that distinguishes the achiever from the plodder.
Successful businessman, be it even a retailer at a booth, has that --- for the purposes of this article we can call it social intelligence --- the X-factor and you just know that he would not be selling only from a booth for long.
At various press conferences that I have attended, there has always seemed to be an element of WOW with the managing directors of successful companies compared with the companies, which were just trying to market themselves and find a toe-hold with the customer.
The million dollar question is, what is this social intelligence that seems to enamour us, the customer or the consumer, to a particular business or brand for speific needs that we have in our daily lives?
Experience says that besides the obvious confidence and competence that leaders generate that takes them a brand apart --- whether a shopkeeper or a professional --- they usually have a keen sense of reading people's motivations correctly.
These inspirational leaders are past masters at analysing the hidden weaknesses of people and seem to have an embedded inner compass that guides to the essence of human nature, which is that it's totally unpredictable, but there are rules to get by.
The first rule of business is that there are only circumstances in life and nothing can be branded as good or evil. Staff shortage at your retail shop: the solution, you learn the intricacies yourself and get off your 'owner does not work' mentality.
Another rule that successful business owners are usually aware of is that it pays to grab attention at all cost within the bounds of relevant laws and customs. Marketing is primarily based on this premise, but of course in today's age digital is the way to go. Of course, digital has proved to be a far more democratic medium of communication and its rules are still being written. This is something that will evolve, but it does pay to be on the medium.
Has the digital world rendered our old-fashioned face-to-face communication irrelevant is a question that should start bothering the business leadership now.
There is no 'right' answer to this difficult question, but my opinion is that with twiddling thumbs at an iPhone becoming the favoured pastime of at least one individual in each family in the tricity, communication has indeed been hampered to an extent. Ironically, this is happening through devices meant to empower, educate and most importantly communicate better. The speed has indeed become better, but quality seems to have gone to the dogs.
Those with the social intelligence compass understand that the digital is the new future and the trend is irreversible. However, will the intelligence be relevant anymore is a question that refuses to go away.

Other galaxies far, far away...
Bertotti Station
Description: Been a long while since the website had an overhaul. About two kids ago if you do the math. This website was inspired by Edison's love of trains. All aboard!
Technology: Relatively simple website with rollover images. All the other web pages were done manually. This one was done with FrontPage. Actually, I could've finished it faster manually since FrontPage kept breaking everything and I would have to start over. I'm hoping that by converting, I can change themes more...plus now Diane can update her page.
Description: Created to change things up and for faster loading. Really in preparation for the incoming baby. Picture of a globe and the continents are the links to the various areas.
Technology: Even another step backwards technology-wise with only a graphics map. The step forward is in artistry. (The trick is to not draw it yourself). It looks better than the simple square Texas flag and the semi-clunky remote control. And it loads faster.
other planets...
Texas Flag website
Description: Created to inform people that we've moved to Texas. It was the colors of the texas flag with a menu where the star would be and a picture of a cactus.
Technology: A step backwards really. This was faster to download and simple. The only cool effect was a different picture would pop up if you rolled over the graphic links.
Remote Control website
(aka Uncle Dan's Favorite website) (12/1997-7/1998)
Description: Inspired by TV. This was a crazy idea I had, but Diane never liked the TV theme and it took very long to download. A remote control comes rolling in from one side, the title "the BertottiWeb" comes rolling in from other sides of the screen, and there is a TV in the distance. The remote control had the different links.
Technology: Big jump from static website to something original. Drew up an original remote control. Then used a 15-day free trial of 3-D software to create the rolling effects so I could never edit it again. Moved on to bit maps, cascading images, some minor javascript, pull-down lists. Most graphics intensive site we've had, but again, it took too long to download. We had ADSL then and it wasn't an issue for us.
Original website
Description: Followed the original, boring home page format. Most of the graphics and links are long gone, but this is a taste of what it looked like.
Technology: Back when we thought animated gifs were cool and not tacky. Hyperlinks, colored text and backgrounds, and graphics. That's it.

Konimpex and Świąteczna Paczka campaign – let's do something for others!
15 December 2017
Once again, our company joined the campaign "Świąteczna Paczka" ("Christmas Gift") organized by "Otwarcie" Foundation for the Development of Children and Youth and "Przegląd Koniński" magazine. Konimpex employees prepared Christmas packages for the poorest families from Konin. We delivered gifts to those in need with great pleasure, hoping that perhaps these small gestures will give the families a chance to spend Christmas in a more joyful atmosphere. There was no end to smiles and tears of emotion. Awareness of helping others and doing something good for others is a driving force for us, which is why we will certainly take part in the edition next year.
