Guido van Rossum, 9 March 2011
This text is my personal transcription of a talk that Guido gave in Atlanta before PyCon. I tried very hard to make it exact, but I'm sure elisions and inaccuracies crept in, as I was typing very fast for a very long time :)
What's wrong with Perl?
This was a long time ago. Perl in 1988 had only one hundred-screen long manpage, and its design offended my sensibilities. In 1988 and 1989 I was working for the Amoeba distributed project in Amsterdam. We had clusters of 10 computers, and I had been collecting programming languages for the 6 years before that. Wrote a language, never released, known as "Python's Predecessor", which was called B, and is now known as ABC.
We were porting lots of application logic to Amoeba, and it was very complex to do. I realized that if we had a higher-level language than C, we could write things faster. In the end, Python may not have been used a lot in Amoeba, but the damage was done, and I had begun work on my own HLL.
I wrote a parser. I did a lot of work to get the parser to recognize indentation for grouping, because I thought that was very important at the time. This has helped and hindered things. Some people can't get over it. Some people think it's the best idea. It certainly made Python stand out, but if asked today, I tell people to use braces for grouping, because that's what everyone is used to.
I had a lot of time and not much pressure, because my manager was out of the country a lot of the time, so I worked on Python a lot. I cut a lot of corners, though, and some of those decisions turned out to be right, and some of them have become major pain points with time. In any case, people working on the project started using it. After about a year, we decided to do a release.
What are some of the things people have done with Python that have surprised you?
One of the earliest things was that people not only picked up Python, but wanted to embed it in other languages. My model was either you have a compiler that generates machine code, or you have an interpreter that parses things in chunks and then you run it. What I had not expected was that people would take that whole interpreter, embed it in even larger applications, and feed it strings to be interpreted, and then used as code in that larger program.
If you're familiar with Emacs, this is exactly what it does, and Emacs was not exactly new when I was working on Python, so I don't know why I didn't get this idea. Amoeba programs and Unix programs were very small, and you had RPCs and pipes, and you didn't write large programs that did everything, and had an interpreter embedded into it.
And so people would come to me and say "we love python and we want to embed it into our app" and they wouldn't tell me what they wanted; it was either irrelevant or secret. But eventually they said "turn it into a library". At first I didn't even understand what they meant. We got over that.
But the problem was that I had never even thought of that, but internally, everything had very short, convenient names in C, and I had accidentally created huge numbers of naming conflicts with third party libraries or applications. Dynamic linking was added forcefully in the mid-nineties, and it was very painful. We had to rename every function that was part of the runtime so that it's linker-visible name started with "py_" and that was the result of me completely not having anticipated this embedding.
At this point there are more unanticipated uses of Python than things I thought people would do with it, so that's very satisfying.
What's your favorite way to do web stuff
I don't have a favorite. I think all web stuff sucks in one way or another. I work on app engine, so I'm, ironically, working on the back end of letting other people write web apps.
I used to say that every time I wrote a web app, I used a different framework. These days I mostly use Django, but I'm not really satisfied with it either. I'm more familiar with it, but not enough to tell other people about it.
I've used app engine's as well, and I'm not very excited about it either. The developments I've seen in the web world for developing apps don't really strike me as interesting. It's still way too much work. Two years ago I tried creating a whole new language for that, and I couldn't do it.
What's your coming to Google story?
I knew a lot of people there. the funny thing is I moved to the Bay area in 2003, from northern Virginia. I came there because someone I respected asked me to move and work for him. All the wheels were in motion for me to move, and suddenly I got an email from a google recruiter, asking if I would come and have an interview.
I was far enough into this other process that I said, I'm sorry, if you'd called 2 months earlier, I would, but I feel honor bound to take this other job. 2 1/2 years later, the startup failed, and I knew 4 or 5 people who as soon as I asked how I might get into Google, fell over each other entering me into [the Google HR system].
What languages would you like to see gain popularity or fade into oblivion?
I'll skip the second part. Enough languages face into oblivion without my help or commentary.
What would I like to see gain popularity? Probably something that hadn't happened yet. There is a kind of renaissance going on. There's probably going to be a not-quite OO, not-quite functional language that's going to come along and solve some hard problems.
What about Go?
I don't think i've written any yet. I've walked through parts of the tutorial and the docs, and I think there are definitely plenty of interesting things there. there are also plenty of things that look — well, maybe misguided. Go is really — designed to be the ideal programming language for one person. I'm not sure if it has broad enough appeal and solves a large enough range of problems, or can be extended to solve a wide enough range of problems to really fly.
There's probably a lot of similarity between Go now and Java when it was first created; interesting ideas but lots of ideas missing. It has taken Java a long time to fill in things like generics, and it's completely hit-and-miss on whether Go will get a large enough userbase to go anywhere. I'm doubtful on whether it will replace C++ even within Google, though that is the goal.
I'm sure once it's in app engine, I'm sure I'll be playing with it more. Maybe I'll even like it.
BASIC is gone now. Have you thought about the problem of languages for young people (because a lot of us grew up on BASIC)?
It's true that almost everyone in middle-class america has more than 1 computer in their house, but pretty much none of them are doing anything with programming. They're not even doing HTML anymore.
I don't see a lot of people doing that, and then moving on into Javascript.
OTOH, there was a viewing 2 days ago of a documentary about Infocom games in MTV. I played them even though I didn't have access to microcomputers — my first was access to a mainframe. I lost my train of thought.
In the end, I don't think it's such a big loss because most people didn't have computers at all in those days. It was a very very small part of a particularly nerdy part of the population that 20 or 30 years ago had access to any computer at home.
There are other geeky hobbies, and there were other geeky hobbies, and I think other stuff will happen. I think there are some geeky kids who are the same sort of geeky kids that we were doing, some of those will become great programmers. I think there is still enough of a feeder population. I'm not worried about there not being any CS graduates anymore, even though people in academia complain about it.
What's a hard problem that felt really good to crack?
I'm going to punt and give a nontraditional answer here, and say that the appearance of a Python community was something that.. it happened all by itself, and it felt really good that it happened.
I'd been sharing my software with people for 2 or 3 years, and I'd never been very successful at that. I think before python the last thing I tried was a platform independent app for designing GUI applications, and I went for a lowest-common denominator approach, and it was a total dud.
I actually used Python to try to support it to start with, and the only nice thing was that it ran as fast on a Mac as it did on Unix, but it was a nightmare. It was hard to program for, mouse buttons didn't work. These days every successful GUI library is a sprawling, all-encompassing thing.
So I'd been trying to create software that people would use, and it just didn't happen, but it happened with Python.
What made that happen? Who knows. I can only say that I had tried a lot of things and it just didn't happen. But in the summer of 1994, people on the mailing list people started complaining that the python ML needed to become a newsgroup, and I said "fine, make it happen", and they did. Then people started complaining that there was only one Guido, and the community solved it by self-organizing. And that was my eureka moment instead of any programming problem.
How much control do you retain over the language/community?
Every now and then someone shows up and says "Guido is the dictator, and must be overthrown"
I've never had that power. All I've ever had is the ability to convince people through words. And that's still all I have.
Last weekend, the Python repo converted from SVN to Hg. It took two years to do, and all I ever did was say "Ok, do that." I don't have commit privileges in the new repo, and I doubt I'll miss them. I haven't committed anything in months.
People still listen to me and respect my opinion on things, but I also tell people to think for themselves, and I think that's been successful. IF I got locked in the datacenter for a few years, Python would go on. I like that I'm not a single point of failure anymore.
What do you think of PyPy?
I love it, but it's so much more than getting Python self-hosted. It's so much more than that, and that part is almost irrelevant these days. REally what PyPy is these days is a toolkit for building JITs. They can build a JIT compiler for many different languages. They've only tried a few, and they're not particularly proud of the ones they've tried. They tried Prolog, but I don't think that's particularly viable. But they have this tool and core for JITs. And on top of that they have a new implementation of Python, which is probably more compatible with the original C python than either Jython or IronPython. And, it's faster than C Python, which neither of the other ever really will be.
They've done an amazing job of compatibility at both the language and library level, but it's still not there. It's still a crapshoot on whether all extensions and third-party libs will work. And for large applications, logic doesn't benefit a lot from JITting. It won't be any slower than C Python, but it won't ever be faster. I love that they're working at it.
There will be several talks about it at PyCon. They get closer and faster and more compatible every year. Maybe this year is the breakthrough year.
Still a Monty Python fan?
Yes, I am. I was a nuisance to my family because several weeks ago I started watching the earliest series on youtube. They don't understand the humor. HAving grown up with Monty Python, I am so desensitized to so many movies that take themselves seriously.
Do you envision programs like App Inventor making programming literacy more common, or do you think they'll just make it easier for people who already want to write programs?
In the middle. I've played with it a little, but I found it frustrating because I can already program.
OTOH, I've seen what educators have done with it, and there's definitely something there. There are definitely people who would never get into programming at all who have some experience with creating a program and debugging it, which is the interesting part. Figuring out where to put the semicolons and braces is no fun at all, and App Inventor takes that away.
But creating a program in little steps, and watching it run away terribly, or crash in a microsecond, and then figure out what you did wrong, that's the fun part. And App Inventor gives you that, adn lets you see if you're any good at it, and if you can use that somewhere else in your life.
I think there's something there. I think there's some class of people who think they can use AI to write an app and put it in an app store and make piles of money, and that's not how it's going to work. But getting something to work is a thrill, and after that maybe you can do it using text, which is the highest-bandwidth method of communication from your brain to the computer.
[Question redacted due to NDA]
[Answer as well]
What would you like to see improved about working at Google?
You know, personally, I'm pretty happy here. I don't have a lot of wishes, but I also realize that being sort of famous and all that, I'm in a pretty lucky situation.
I dunno, I like to think that it's still a pretty good place to work for. There's a lot of exciting stuff going on. We have a number of areas where we've been outrageously successful, and a number of areas where we have a really good chance to, and it's good to be on the inside of that.
What advice would you give to us mere mortals? Where does your drive and inspiration come from?
I dunno. On the one hand, I've always felt that I was much, much geekier than almost anyone around me, and I've mostly just tried to be at peace with that, and not worry about it. I wasn't a big social hit in high school. Or in college, for that matter. But I enjoyed what I was good at.
My college career was very weird. I went to study math, thinking I was really good at it. It turned out that I wasn't, I was only really good with the math in high school. Fortunately I found something else that I enjoyed, and was very good at, and that was programming. I just followed by heart there. I decided not to be too hung up about actually graduating in mathematics, but just have fun doing programming.
Eventually I did get a degree, but that's.. there was a time when I wasn't so sure that I would get there. So, follow what you love. And then be patient, and it will be alright :)
How did very early Python differ from today's?
There were no classes. That's the single biggest change ever made.
It was not an OO language. It was an object *based* language. There were objects, but no way to create new objects classes, except by writing a C extension.
The first implementation of classes had a broken way of declaring inheritance, which I think was
Class = Baseclass
and after 2 years, we fixed that.
Emacs or vi?
Javascript: Consoles and First-class Functions
Javascript Shells
Both the Mozilla and Chrome projects make their Javascript engines available as standalone libraries, which can be embedded in other programs. They also both provide command-line shells which behave just like the Python/Ruby REPL.
One thing you don't get with the shells is the browser environment. So no 'window' object, no 'document' object, and none of the methods attached to them, which means no DOM manipulation. This will come up again in about 4 paragraphs.
Mozilla's Spidermonkey shell is 'js', and Chrome's V8 is (unpredictably, and at odds with at least one doc I found on the web) 'd8'. Both are available as packages under Arch Linux (and everything else, I'm sure). If you do anything with the web, even for fun, your toolbox will be greatly enhanced by adding them to it. Here's a link to the Mozilla docs (I haven't found the Google ones yet).
The second thing I want to talk about is a little bit of fun that I painlessly prototyped using the Javascript shell.
First-class Functions
Javascript has them. All it means is that functions aren't special in any way; they're treated just like all other data in the language. This is an incredibly powerful concept, which you can use to do incredibly powerful things. Or just to solve an interesting little problem.
Having written a tiny Javascript test library yesterday, I immediately found myself wanting to use it to test things other than the tiny parser I'd written the day before that. The problem was twofold:
- My test library replied on the print() function of the js/d8 shells to report its findings to the world, and this, of course, does not exist in a browser.
- The other things I wanted to test do live in a browser, and do tons of DOM manipulation, which doesn't exist in the shells.
The solution came from remembering that functions are first-class in Javascript. But before I could get around to that, I needed to know how to test for defined-ness in Javascript without generating warnings or errors. Well, I could use the shell to fiddle with that, too.
d8> if (document) { print('doc') } (d8):1: ReferenceError: document is not defined if (document) { print('doc') } ^ d8>
Nope. Not like that.
d8> try { document } catch(err) { print('no doc') } no doc d8>
Ah. try/catch block. Okay, now I know how to see if I'm inside a browser or not, because that's the only place that the document object exists. So now I can get around to solving my original problem with, effectively, a one-liner. Before changing my test lib code, I decided to use the shell again to make sure my idea really worked.
1 d8> print2 = print; 2 function print() { [native code] } 3 d8> print = function(msg) { print2("foo" + msg + "bar") } 4 function (msg) { print2("foo" + msg + "bar") } 5 d8> print("hello, world"); 6 foohello, worldbar 7 d8>
I've numbered the lines this time for easy reference. On line 1, I assign print to print2. Since functions are first-class, 'print' isn't magical in any way, but is just a label, which points to a piece of data. In this case, the data being pointed to is a compiled function, which does the actual printing. So now 'print' and 'print2' point to the same function and will (natch) behave identically. Line 2 shows the evaluation of the assignment.
In line 3, I reassign 'print' to an inlined anonymous function which takes one argument and calls 'print2' (AKA the original, stock printing function), passing it the concatenation of "foo", the argument to 'print', and "bar". Line 4 is equivalent to line 2.
On line 5 I call 'print', which now points not to the original stock print function, but to my anonymous function. Line 6 shows "hello, world" stuck between "foo" and "bar", exactly as it should be.
Now for the real thing:
try { if (document) { print = function(msg) { document.write("<div>" + msg + "</div>") } } } catch(err) { true; }
Couldn't be easier. If my test library is inside a HTML document, 'print' will be pointed at an anonymous function which wraps the argument inside a pair of 'div's and calls 'document.write', plopping it into the document where ever the calling <script> tag is located. One library; one try/catch block; works in a webpage or at the console.
Tomato Caviar What?
I can't even begin to make sense of this one. Worst thing in a while to come out of the Food Terrordome that is my cookbook collection.
This exemplifies the 1950s recipe. It's a "salad" where the vegetables are only there to give structural support to the creams and dairy products. It's overwrought. It's a bizarre hodge-podge of ingredients, half of which are in quantities so small you'd never be able to taste them. The mise en place would be a nightmare. Construction is baroque. It just sounds bad.
From "Salads and Salad Dressings", Culinary Arts Institute (who I thought knew what decent food was like), 1957.
Tomato Caviar Temptation
Rinse, peel, and chill 4 large tomatoes.
Stuffed Eggs
Hard-cook and chill 4 eggs. Set out 12 rolled anchovy fillets.
Reserve one egg for Cheese Spread. Cut the remaining eggs into halves lengthwise. Remove egg yolks to a bowl and mash with a fork or force through ricer or sieve into the bowl. Mix in until thoroughly blended

- 1T salad dressing
- 1/4t grated onion
- 1 or 2 drops tabasco sauce
and a mixture of
- 1/8t celery salt
- 1/8t garlic salt
- Few grains white pepper
Lightly fill the egg whites with the egg-yolk mixture. Poke two of the anchovy fillets into each stuffed egg. Chill in refrigerator.
Cheese Spread
Shred and set aside 4oz. sharp cheddar cheese (about 1 cup, shredded). Finely chop or sieve the reserved egg into a bowl. Add and mix in the cheese and
- 1/2t prepared horseradish
- 1/2t Worcestershire sauce
- 1 or 2 drops tabasco sauce
and a mixture of
- 1/4t salt
- 1/8t dry mustard
- 1/8t pepper
- 1/8t monosodium glutamate
Blend in
- 1/4C thick sour cream
- 3T salad dressing
Set in refrigerator to chill thoroughly.
Cottage Cheese Filling
Lightly mix

- 1/3C finely-chopped sweet pickles
- 1T salad dressing
and a mixture of
- 1/4t monosodium glutamate
- 1/8t salt
- 1/8t onion salt
- Few grains pepper
Set in refrigerator to chill thoroughly.
Dice and panbroil until very crisp 8 slices bacon. Drain on absorbent paper.
Just before serving salad, lightly mix bacon pieces into the cottage cheese mixture.
To Complete Salad
Rinse, drain, pat dry and chill salad greens (such as lettuce or curly endive). Arrange on 6 chilled individual salad plates.
Cut the chilled tomatoes into 12 slices about 1/2in. thick. Place one slice on each salad plate. Spoon Cottage Cheese Filling over slices, allowing about 1/4C for each. Top with remaining tomato slices. Spread tomato slices with the Cheese Spread, and place Stuffed Eggs, filling side down, on top.
Spoon over eggs a mixture of
- Thick sour cream
- Caviar
If desired, top salad with more caviar.
Sprinkle French dressing over lettuce leaves around the salad.
Serve with Melba toast or crusty hard rolls.
6 servings.

I'm a total sucker for ephemera like this. There's always something neat to find out. For instance, in checking that I was reading "C.J.

Tiny Music Reviews 1
A couple weeks ago I ended up ransacking the $1 bin at Criminal Records, picking up everything that looked like a sampler or had really good graphic design on the jacket. This was brought on by discovering that a sampler I picked up over a year ago (and forgot about) was constructed from purest awesomtanium.
In case you'd like a copy of that one yourself, it was Parasol Records's Sweet Sixteen Volume 6.
I didn't find anything that good, but I did find some interesting stuff. And some not-so-good stuff. First up, the winners, in no particular order.
Clarence Fountain, Sam Butler, and the Boys: Stepping Up & Stepping Out
Black people can do a lot of things well that white people can't. Dance. Wear purple. Be funky. Sing about Jesus without whining and wishing to be dead. This album is a really good example of that last one, from two of the men who were part of the Blind Boys of Alabama.
Chain and the Gang: Down with Liberty…Up with Chains!
I only bought this one because it was put out by "Secretly Canadian Distribution", and because the CD itself says "A Rock and Roll Comintern Production". The music turned out to be on the weird-artsy side and uneven, but interesting and not bad. Gooder when it rocked more.
The Joneses: Criminals/Tits and Champagne
This is 2 EPs on one CD. From the names (band and albums) I was expecting something laughably pretentious and horrible and emo. From the pics of the band on the back, I was expecting something douchey. What I got was some pretty good punk/psychobilly. Interestingly, the three covers (Crocodile Rock, Your Cheatin' Heart, and Route 66) are the weakest tracks on the disc. Oh, and it turns out the EPs were recorded in 1983 and 1987.
Baby Shakes
This is another one that made it because of the screening on the CD itself. "STEREO: PLAY LOUD" says one side. The catalog number is given as DMR025, for "Douchemaster" records. It turned out to be an all-girl punk/rockabilly group, laying down some pretty decent tracks. Very Shonen Knife, only without singing about sumo wrestling and reading books and god knows what. Oh, and it turns out they really are on Douchemaster Records.
More later.

In Ecuador, WFP supports national efforts to promote food and nutrition security, and the government's food sovereignty priorities. WFP prioritizes participatory collaboration with governments, communities, the private sector and others who share the aim to improve food and nutrition security for all.
The Government of Ecuador endorsed WFP's strategy for 2012–2016, supporting a collaborative process involving representatives of 15 ministries. The strategy was developed to closely align WFP efforts in support of the priorities outlined in the government's National Development Plan, the 2008 Constitution, the working framework of the United Nations (UNDAF), and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

I got to admit that I haven't played one lick of a guitar on any of these new rock music video games, but I wanted to find out what the big deal is about these new games. Thanks to Rolling Stone I got an inside look as to who produces them, which bands are signed and why kids from 8 – 80 can't get enough of them. Once you read it you'll have just enough knowledge to sound smart if anyone happens to ask you a question.
The competing rock-themed video-game franchises Guitar Hero and Rock Band grossed nearly $1 Billion last year. Rock bands like Aerosmith, Guns n' Roses, Metallica, the Who, Jimi Hendrix and many more will be making tour stops at Xboxes and PS3s this year.
Since Rock Band and Guitar Hero offer similar game play — the upcoming Guitar Hero: World Tour will even let players take on drums and vocals, Rock Band-style — the games' makers are increasingly focused on differentiating themselves through deals with major artists.
While the Guitar Hero franchise dwarfs the newer Rock Band — 20.7 million Guitar Hero games have sold worldwide in various incarnations, versus 1.3 million of Rock Band — the latter has the power of media giant Viacom behind it. The company is promoting the game and its downloadable content on MTV and VH1.
Is P.O.D, Lifehouse, Underoath, Switchfoot or any other cool band signed to either of these companies?

Achieving a goal, finally a big step.
It's been hell of a busy, hardworking and a learning month lately, but a happy month too because of two reasons:
1. I'm working on a graphic novel project which I have to draw and ink.
2. There is a famous Chilean TCG called "Mitos y Leyendas" which ceased to exist in 2010, because its publisher 'Salo' went bankrupt. But now they're back and they will release a new edition in september. Good news is that I'm part of the team of artists for the new cards. 4 lesser cards, but, it's a start and I'm very happy for this.
(Both works must be delivered by the end of the month)
So yeah, as I said, working for this TCG was a goal back in 2010 and now, just in time when I thought everything went down to shit, being very frustrated... Now, I'm really excited to see how far can I go with this... All I now is that I don't want to stop, I wanna improve, I wanna learn, I wanna expand...
So yeah, Sorry if I make a big deal outta this... But I needed to let it out the way I know...
Back to work.
Take care of yourselves.

Welcome to Manningtree,
As England's smallest town – at just over 19 hectares – Manningtree is small but packs in a great deal for residents and visitors alike. Perhaps Manningtree is best known to the outside traveler by the railway station on the main London to Norwich line, but the most familiar landmark to the local traveler is Mistley Towers. The Towers, the surviving remnants of a fine 18th-century church, are most noticed and best remembered. But the area can be traced back much further – with stories of Romans, Shakespeare, witches, aristocrats, industry and the areas oldest resident "Old Knobbley" – all this can be found here on Visit-Manningtree.
Have a browse around the site or download the flyer and you will learn more of the incredible history and notable claims to fame that are all packed into a very small package – welcome to Manningtree.

These Beauty Christian poems are examples of Christian poems about Beauty. These are the best examples of Beauty Christian poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
There is a place you can go that is full of only love and Warmth .
you will be surrounded by a light that shines from the Heavens ,
Sprinkles of Silver and Gold.
This place is filled with brilliant colors of Purple , vibrant Gold, all colors.
not one Color is less significant then another ,
for every color is equal here .
This place is surrounded by the beauty of different Flowers.
All flowers have significance here . No one Flower is better then another .
All Flowers are equal here .
It is important you know , you can cry here , and should cry as often as needed .
For the tears will cleanse your Soul and give the Flowers water to grow.
No one Tear is insignificant here , every tear has value and not one is better then another .
money holds no value , Where you live , what you own, has no significance here .
You will be surrounded by a beautiful light that shines from the Heavens .
A shining warm light will encircle you and allow nothing to hurt you .
Hate will be shed at the door light a old jacket of no use.
There is a place of beauty and Worth.
This place will not be found on Earth .
It is a place where no one person is better then another .
on this special day
I doest say
that thy mother is of graceful sort
it hath been said she is devine
and I do holdeth this to be true
now dearest mother may I be so bold
to tell you the sun still shinest on one so old
as true as this be
you still grasp your faith
like the roots of a tree
tis said you are wise
and this I have found true
the eye doeth grow deceived when it is drawn upon you
as your thoughts become known
only then your age is shown
I am the hypocritical Christian.
I say I follow Christ,
But I'm still consumed by my demons.
I go to church on Sunday,
But I refuse to invite someone back.
I want to serve on mission,
But I'm too afraid to act.
They think I read The Bible,
But I just fall asleep in it.
They think I'm positivity and smiles,
But underneath I'm death and addictions.
They think I'm clean and pure,
But I'm broken and mistaken.
I say I'm not worthy of His love,
But Jesus will never let me be forsaken.
I pray long prayers,
But inside they're empty repetition.
It might look as if my faith is strong,
But my core is too easily shaken.
I say the things I'm supposed to say,
But don't follow His actions or obey.
I speak the truth the church wants to hear,
But deep inside on matters I don't know what to believe.
I walk in shame as if I'm not good enough
To be loved by God and saved through Christ,
But there is nothing I could ever do to earn His peace;
It's a free gift.
I accept;
Now forgiven, changed, and released.
Thank You God,
Thank You Jesus,
Thank You Holy Spirit!
In Jesus' Holy Name,
We pray,
Imbibe the indescribeable."
notes..flowing, glottal stops:
Searing emotion; trys bounds.
Following winds of enlightenment
describe my inability; to really match,
the "gift" you gave out' the small
portion you presented, streches the
strength of soul and capabilties of me.."
copyright Joe maverick.co.uk
I wonder how things work, up there in the promised land,
I am willing to bet that your party there this year will be Grand.
Maybe there are other angel's tying up balloons and lighting chandeliers,
The love up there is more fullfiling then any we can find down here.
I bet you can dance now, and stand and walk all on your own.
I bet you sing amazingly, and you never have to sing alone.
I bet you have great discussions about all of us you left behind,
I just wanted to let you know, we are all going to be just fine.
See we are more blessed than most others ever get to be,
they wouldn't understand unless they felt love like you gave to me.
so Beautiful, so sweet, you were and are perfect in every way.
and I just wanted to say I miss you, and Happy Birthday!
Don't worry about us down here, you just enjoy your big day.
because, "I'm turning 21 with Jesus" is something we can only dream to say.
our tears aren't from sadness babygirl, this I hope you know.
It's just it's hard for us all to have a love so sincere and then have to let it go.
But, you go on back to your party and dance with your grandpa once for me.
and just know that I am happy for you, these tears,.... well sissy they are for me.
I love you bunches babygirl, there isn't anything I wouldn't give for another chance,
to just swoop you up into my arms, and have another dance.
I know I can't just yet but, please know I honor the memory,
of those days I was dancing with the Angel the good Lord sent to me,
I know that time has passed now, what was loaned must be sent home.
Just it's hard on your Birthday.... for us not to feel a little alone.
All Rights Reserved
Snow sprinkles the ground
as delicate as sugar
crystallizing the exterior with a romantic heritage
only found in the heart of a child's imagination.
Like happiness it can melt in your hands,
and like happiness it can grow bitter like the ice you slip on
Forming miraculously to the curves of the earth
hugging till the land soaks in it's providence
white like the pages I battle with
Falling so passionately you'd think it was falling in love with the ground
And when it lands,
A blanket of perfection
glistening the season to a crisp
gently the sun arises
"there's no where to go today,
I'm just going to sit and enjoy the magic."
As the snow falls around me, I marvel at God's wholesome and worthy entity.
The Lord, on his special day, has given me a gift so precious and special;
He has opened my eyes to his wondrous glory.
The Lord above all has allowed me to see the beauty in the smallest of things:
The stars and moon at night, and the clouds and sun by day;
The little trickles of freezing cold, yet clean, fresh, clear water
Running down the mountainsides, quenching my insatiable thirst;
The trees in all their grandeur,
That provide my warmth when I gather their branches;
The leaves and pine needles at my feet,
Providing soft beds for me and all the forest creatures.
Best of all of these, however, is the snow.
The beautiful snow in which no two snowflakes are the same.
The same biting cold, yet strangely comforting and fulfilling snow,
In which brings forth light on the darkest of days.
I must thank the all-loving God, who has bestowed upon me this glorious gift.
Me, a pathetic excuse for a soldier who has run away
From the sight of bloodshed because I cannot stand to fight another friend.
Me, a coward who is now running from the law,
And living solely in the forest for fear of being caught and hanged.
Me, a God-believing man who has sinned greatly.
But I have repented. I have asked God for forgiveness of my sins on Christmas Eve night,
And He has replied by giving me snow on Christmas morning,
showing me that I am not alone, and that I should not be afraid.
And, by His grace, when all I have been seeing was darkness and despair,
He opened me up to allow me to see the beauty and light in all his creation.
"I praise You, oh glorious God, for giving me this most wonderful gift!
I thank You for forgiving me, a sinner, of all my wrongdoings,
and for giving me this awe-inspiring gift, for which I have done nothing to deserve!
I exalt you on high, oh Lord, for all that you have done and given me,
and will do for me and give me! I will love and praise you always!
Oh how beautiful the day you gave to me
A new and bright glorious day your mercy is new and your love is fresh
Lord I desire your ways and your rest to see your hand touch my life
Is great and peaceful and keeps me right
I stand and look inside my soul
The way you make things unfold
The little things Lord they make me new
The touch of the wind gives me life from you.
The flowers and there fragrance are lifting me up
I love you Lord your precious to me even though I fail and wander you take me in and make me humble
Your ways are glorious why can't the world see the light you give inside me take my hand Lord help me be
The woman you made when you set me free.

Some pains we feel
can be tough to conceal
pouring through the cracks
as we try to hold it back
maybe if I hold my breathe
there where be no pain left
or if I scream out loud
it will all flow out
maybe Ill feel better
if I release some pressure
Pour an ice cold drink
and then I begin to think
Now I'm pacing for too long
and no sign of being strong
the pain I felt has changed
I was hurting, but now its rage
I feel my heart start to race
and hardly recognize my own face
I notice my family is getting angry too
and wonder "do they see hatred in you?"
I watched a little pain
drive myself insane
and the people I love most
were all but held close
I don't know what to do
I cant do it on my own
How do I make it through
when I feel so alone
So I started asking for something free
I asked people to pray for me
Where else could I turn
How else can I learn
that a burdened heart needs blessed
Let go and let God take care of the rest
All it takes is faith and time
and you'll receive love from the divine
I love the color and how
It accentuates the tone of your skin
Truly, it brings out the brilliance
Beaming bright from your face
As I gradually gaze
I lose myself in a daze
Simply amazed at the light
Leaping deep in my eyes
I'm flaring in flames with delight
From viewing this gorgeous site
Your color choice cascades
Like a clique of crystal colored
Clouds calmly caressing
The blue sky
Even the light from the sun
Can't outshine the suave design
Of the portrait displayed
Right in front of me
But tell me something.........
How long does the liquid splashed
Upon this portrait last
Before the palms that painted it
Mark a smear with a mash
It is removable right?
It's severed at some point
The darkened dusk of the day
If I'm not mistaken
I mean, the mascara
Surrounding it meshes
At the tinge of a tear
The full ethereal effect
Of the face elapses
Evaporates in seconds
And all at once disappears
So, why persist in painting
Your pupils as if going to war
When bound in braids of beauty
Just the way you are?
Why continuously cope concealed
In optometrical colors
When one has already seen
And sees what the cosmetics cover?
~Poetra Jah~

Home – Welcome!
"A change in the shape of the body creates a change in the state of the soul." –Aristotle
The Myofascial Release Center is a private, quiet, outpatient therapy clinic, located in the Los Angeles area (Montrose/Glendale, in between Pasadena and Burbank).
We offer the John F. Barnes style of Myofascial Release (MFR), which is a manual therapy, slightly different than massage, that uses no lotions or creams, but connects deeply with your connective tissue (fascia) using sustained traction and/or compression for an opportunity to heal long-term.
As your body experiences trauma, repetitive stress injury, poor posture, scar tissue, inflammatory reactions and life stressors, restrictions in one area of the body can affect the whole body. These restrictions create pain and stiffness making it difficult for you to move and prohibiting you from doing those things you love to do.
Your treatment plan is personalized to relieve these chronic areas of tension and injury to help restore mobility and optimum health. We suggest 4-8 appointments along with your home stretches for positive results.
We look forward to working with you to facilitate this healing.

But yes Basetown was a good read and you guys should also definitely check it out!!!
I haven't drawn the babies for awhile now ;v; I'm sure all the hard work you're doing will pay off in the end neenie weenie LOL
As I explained before, I'm going to be moving from one continent to another in two months! But I'm leaving in a very precarious situation and I need every penny that I can save so I don't end up homeless in a country that's very, very far from mine. OTL
(You can read more about my situation here.)
That's why commissions are going to be OPEN for as long as I can!
Because I leave in two months I need to be able to work and save money fast. But I don't want to give you mediocre drawings so I will be drawing simple characters from now on, no backgrounds this time. Those take a lot more time and I don't have it, sadly.
Ok, specifications and commission process under the cut!!

"Are you lonely?"
"It's been a lifetime of loneliness. I decided early on that I better get used to it. I go to movies by myself. If the movie theater is completely empty, I'm even happier. I learned early on that if I wanted to go to restaurants, I better learn to go by myself. One benefit to being big is that people don't bother you. I'm shocked that you came up to me. Nobody's ever done that. When I started to go to therapy, it took me several sessions before I even spoke a word. I'd just sit there and cry. And honestly, you caught me on a tough day. I was sitting here feeling really bad about myself. Because I went to the doctor today, and I was sure that I'd lost weight. But I'd gained some."
My wife emailed this directly to me, it was too great a risk that I might not see it otherwise

Please make sure to watch the rest of The Toad Lock Show series as well. =3
Hello again! In this episode, Toad Lock and his friends try and figure out how they're going to deal with a dreadful holiday in Locktopia, Ban Day. On this holiday, being unproductive is an offense punishable by banishment from the community. Will Toad be able to subvert this dire fate? Or will he be caught up in the storm of banning for being lazy?
A side note: Ban Day (Oct. 25th) is a holiday over at The Lock Legion just like Lock Day is. However, the difference is that any "active" member of the LL who doesn't submit a passing Flash on this holiday is banned from the forums until they do. It's kind of a little game we play to see who's going to actually go to the trouble of animating something.
Please vote fairly, I worked quite hard on this episode. To date, it is the longest episode yet.

PhotoShop Color Correction
You can use PhotoShop to adjust colors in your image. You can change someones hair from blond to red, or you can adjust the tone of an image to correct for age or imperfections in the scanning process. You can lighten an image, make it darker, or add a sparkle to that special someones eyes!
You can affect the whole image, or just one part.
Correcting for Scanner Imperfections
A scanner is basically a color copy machine hooked up to your computer. It bounces light off of a photo and receptors read the color information returned to the scanner. Most photos are covered with a reflective coating, which makes the photo look better to our eyes. The same coating that makes a photograph look better to you and me, makes the photograph harder to see for a scanner. The reflective coating bounces some light back to the scanner before the light hits any color information in the photo. What you end up with is a washed out image with a "film" over it.
Most every time you scan an image in, itll need color correction. Color photographs will always need color correction. PhotoShop does a good job of correcting for scanner deficiencies, and often it can do the whole job in just one step!
When you correct for scanning deficiencies, mostly youll adjust the PhotoShops Levels, which refer to color levels. Color Levels range from 100% white, to 100% black. Usually when there are scanning problems, there is too much white, but sometimes there are other problems caused by the scanner itself.
Letting PhotoShop Automatically Correct Images for You
This next web design course tool is going to blow you away.
The histogram represents color levels with black on the left
and white on the right. See how much white there is? Images usually look better
when the color levels are more balanced. Were going to let PhotoShop try to
fix the image for us.
Big difference, huh?
Fine Tuning an Automatic Level
Sometimes when you use the "auto" button in the level window, the image will come out a little too dark or light. You can manually adjust the midpoint, the place where colors become more dark than light.
A midpoint value of 1.00 is perfect center. 1.10 will make the image a little lighter, 0.9 will make the image a little darker.
To adjust the midpoint:
Use small adjustments!
Adjusting the Levels Yourself
Sometimes you will get better results futzing with the levels yourself. "Futz" is a PhotoShop technical term.
Usually you wont be able to tell if automatic or manual results will provide better results. Youll probably have to try them both.
To manually adjust the levels, move the histogram triangles. You usually want to adjust the triangles so they line up with the bulk of the histogram. Dont adjust the middle triangle. Instead, use the input levels box like we did before.
Hiding Flashing Selection Lines
When you make a selection you get flashing lines that tell you where the selection is. Problem is, sometimes those selection lines get in the way. You can hide them by clicking:
VIEW-> HIDE EDGES or CTRL/CMD + H
Color Corrections
Images of all types would look better if this was a little bit darker, that was a little bit lighter, and this was a little more blue. PhotoShop excels in changing color values to give you better-looking images. Remember that any of these tools can be applied to an entire image, or to a selection.
Most of the Color Correction tools are found under:
Brightness and Contrast
Brightness is the amount of white found in an image. If you crank up the brightness, an image will become whiter. Sometimes dark hidden areas will reveal surprising detail!
Contrast is the difference between light and dark in the image. If you turn up the contrast light colors get lighter and dark colors get darker.
Using brightness and contrast, you can remove shadows or shiny forehead reflections. You can lighten teeth and balance images.
To use Brightness/Contrast:
Try to make the dark part of the green boat tarp lighter.
"Tone" means color, "saturation" means how much of that color.
Adjusting saturation will allow you to make changes that on the surface appear imperceptible, but that will really make a difference in your images psychological impact on your observer. When part of an image is slightly more saturated, it appears more full of life. You can saturate people or products to make them slightly stand out against their backgrounds. You can saturate eyes to give someone that special sparkle. Saturating can turn dull colors bright and vibrant.
The key to using saturation is "go easy". Dont over do it. A little goes a long way. Whatever other clich will make you treat the saturation tool with care.
To change saturation levels:
Changing Colors with Variations
You are just flat going to love the Variations tool. It allows you to change colors with easy, simple logic. It doesnt matter if you never went to art school, you dont have to know how to mix colors.
To use Variations:
. You can adjust the amount of color change by fiddling with the "Fine - Course" slider.
. You can adjust shadows, midtones, highlights, and saturation in Variations
. If you will use a variation setting over and over, you can save it and load again next time you need it.
. Variations tend to over or under saturate. Adjust the saturation to make a change appear normal.
Below are some examples of images changed with Variations
Balloons at sunset!
Im not sure which is better!
If you hit CTRL/CMD + Z more than once, youll just toggle back and forth between your last and current action. This is incredibility useful when trying to decide if you like an image better now, or before your most recent change.

Hair Poster
You know when you're so happy, that you can actually feel yourself grinning? Okay, so my childhood wasn't spent on psychedelics in Central Park, yet, there is something so home-y about watching Hair that makes me smile. I recently went to see the remake of Hair on Broadway. One of my mom's many talents is that she can single-handedly perform every song from Hair from memory, so needless to say she was jumping and groovin' out of her seat and into the aisle the entire time. The show itself was incredible, especially because I'm so inspired by flower power culture and youth of the 1960's. Seriously, I am pretty happen with my life right now, but if I could live at any other time, I'd want to be a teenager in 1964 and onwards into the early 1970's. Besides the amazing overture, the show was a little sad but the overall feel is full of adolescence. Taking place in the sixties, when ensembles were bold and free, everything about the show was beautifully done, bringing to mind The Beatles-inspired movie, Across the Universe. It was amazing to see it with my mom and a room full of other people who actually lived through the time period depicted. The best part for me, that was slightly different than when I saw the movie, was seeing the characters come to life off the stage and dance into the audience. One trio of dancers tried to get Barbara Walters to dance along with them but she was NOT into it hehehe

June 27, 2008
Lowndes County - The Lowndes County unemployment rate is up almost two percent from this time last year as a shaky economy has forced many companies to lay-off well qualified employees.
But community leaders say there's still a lot of opportunities for the unemployed and programs that will help them get back to work.
As the economy slows, business at department of labor offices picks up.
"We want to help everyone that's interested in looking for work, we want to help them find a job that's going to be fulfilling," says Richard Ramsey, Career Services Manager of the Department of Labor in Valdosta.
The department of labor offers programs to give job seekers a leg up over the competition.
"We do weekly programs teaching interviewing techniques, proper way to do applications, resumes, preparing resumes," Ramsey says.
Valdosta Technical College does it, too.
They offer assessments through the Work Ready Program. "They can take those assessments to determine skill levels. Those skill levels can then be matched with employers and the skills required on their jobs," Penelope Schmidt, Career Services Director at Val Tech.
The program allows employers to more easily match candidates with jobs, reduces employee turnover and even helps recruit more jobs and industry to the community.
"We'll have that information to share with future employers in this area and that will give us an advantage over communities who aren't certified," Schmidt adds.
But most importantly, these programs help prepare candidates to get back on their feet and back in the workforce.
Berrien, Brooks, and Lowndes counties all offer the Work Ready Program and are working to become Certified Work Ready Communities. Most of the assessments are free of charge.
More information can be provided by the Chambers of Commerce in those counties or Valdosta Technical College.
The areas unemployment rate still remains below the statewide rate.

This spring, my family was hit with a late flu bug. The kind where you can't keep anything down and your stomach cramps for days. In an effort to give my family relief, I started researching herbs and homemade tea remedies.
Our pioneer forefathers didn't have modern medicine, they had to rely on what they could grow in their herb gardens. I love researching my latest novel and then getting to apply what I learn to make a better more nourished life for my family.
So when I saw this pin from last week's party, I instantly knew it would be my favorite and featured pin. For the recipe and instructions for this medicinal tea, visit Nature Had It First, and for the pin.

First Stage Cover Design.
And I do have a bitter rant about this one. Don't read if you don't want bitter ranting. So, me and all of my classmates did three illustrations for first stage in the hopes of publication and the chance at $300 for each illustration. I wasn't counting on winning, but it's always nice. I slaved my ass off on getting this cover right, and, theoretically, it was the hardest of the ten possible assignments to do, because it has to include references to all nine plays, target all possible audiences, and still look like a striking cover.
I knew I wasn't going to win for Peter and the Wolf or To the Promised Land (the result of which was such crap I won't even bother). And I felt pretty snubbed in the assignments, because the play I was born to illustrate I somehow didn't get picked for. And I'm not just making stuff up, everyone was pretty surprised. But since I got the cover, which is kind of an honor, I didn't bitch and moan about it.
The selection occurs. They decide to not do any of the covers and instead run the interior play illustrations as the covers, alternating seasonally.
So, okay, those things happen, right? And even though I tried really hard at this, and effectively lost a chance at winning some other prize because of it, I can deal with this just being the way things go.
My teacher puts up the top 4 selections in the hall for each category, with the winners always place in the upper right corner, second place upper left, and so on. Lo and behold, the "winning" cover selections are also put up, and mine was in the "first place" spot. I nearly flipped my shit. Maybe I should be happy that I did such a great design, but to know that I would have won, and then didn't…really pisses me off. :|

After victory over New Zealand on Monday, India lost their second warm-up win ahead of this week's ICC Women's World Cup as they went down by five wickets to Australia at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. A total of 222 proved difficult to defend against a strong Australia unit led by Jodie Fields, whose 46-ball 52 was the only half-century of the match and one that proved critical to the win.
Having opted to bat, India made a good start through a 47-run stand between Poonam Raut (31) and Thirush Kamini (30) but the innings came undone once the openers were dismissed. At 101 for 1 the home team looked good for a strong total but Raut's exit to Sarah Coyte saw India slump to 116 for 5. Veteran Lisa Sthalekar played a role in this collapse, dismissing Mona Meshram (25) and Karun Jain (0). She later removed Reena Malhotra (35) as India lost their seventh wicket at 171. Nagarajan Niranjana's unbeaten 35 off 26 balls took the total past 200 and gave the bowlers something to defend. Read more

The written notice should contain your name, address, telephone number, type of tax, and the tax period(s) involved. Your notice of appeal should also include a detailed statement of the specific reasons for your appeal. Please attach a copy of the final assessment or denied refund letter to the written appeal. Your appeal will be considered filed timely if it is postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service within the applicable time period, unless the last day falls on a weekend or U.S. legal holiday, in which case the next business day will be deemed the last day to appeal.

13 Healthy Snacking Strategies
To Lose Weight
Choose high-satiety snacks. Swap calorie-dense crackers and cookies for foods with fewer calories per gram. "That way you can eat larger portions, which will take up more space in your stomach and make you feel fuller," says Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan (HarperTorch, 2003). Seek out snacks that are full of water and fiber, like raw vegetables with a few tablespoons of hummus, broth-based soups, and fruits like oranges, apples, and pears.
Retrain your brain. The bigger a snack serving looks, the fuller you're likely to feel after eating it. "It's easy to trick your senses into believing you've had more," says Rolls, who suggests "fluffy" foods like a foamy latte or well-blended low-calorie smoothie (mix one cup of skim milk with one-half cup of canned pineapple and one-half teaspoon of coconut extract). Foods that have irregular shapes -- air-popped popcorn, salads, and high-fiber cereals -- also give you the impression that you're getting more because they don't pack down neatly in a bowl.
Pump up the protein. Calorie for calorie, protein is a lot more satisfying than carbohydrates alone. "It isn't broken down as quickly as carbs, so it holds you over longer," says Lona Sandon, RD, an assistant professor of nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. Limit saturated fat by opting for lean protein sources: low-fat yogurt, cottage cheese, sliced deli turkey. To calculate the number of grams you need each day, multiply your body weight by 0.4.
Fight fat with dairy. Research shows that dieters who ate three yogurt servings a day (1,100 milligrams of calcium) for 12 weeks lost 22 percent more weight and 61 percent more fat than those who got 500 milligrams of the mineral. "Compounds in dairy foods work with calcium to increase enzymes that stimulate fat breakdown and decrease enzymes that cause fat production," explains Michael Zemel, PhD, author of The Calcium Key (John Wiley & Sons, 2003). Snacks such as low-fat yogurt, skim milk, and string cheese will help you meet the daily requirement of 1,000 milligrams.

Vadim Kibardin's (Kibardindesign) takes the minimalist philosophy of stripping an object to its essentials to a whole new level. The Russian designer says his Black & White Clock contains only the most necessary element, i.e. current time. "Digital clock: only figures, no case, only the necessary , only accurate time. Each figure has self-contained power supply and independent control, it can be fixed to any surface autonomously. A light sensor will switch the clock to an invert mode: the figures are white in the dark time of day and black at daytime."
