Progress! (I've actually finished the front just now, so more progress pictures tomorrow). All I have left to do now is the sleeves & the neck ribbing. I can smell the finish line on Sean's Sweater.
After I picked up the boys from daycare today and were done doing groceries, I had this conversation with Sean:
Sean "I want to put this sticker on the window".
Me: "No, please don't".
Sean: "But I really want to put it on the window".
Me: "Please don't, I don't want you to. Why don't you put it on your car seat instead?"
Sean: "No thanks, it'll get stuck because it's sticky".
Robyn: "That's exactly why I don't want it on my car window".
Boys. At least he understands why not to put it on his car seat. Guess where the "PAID" sticker is now that the cashier gave him when we checked out our groceries? Stuck to my car window.
My joints on my left hand are aching. This means it's going to rain in the next few days. I almost took it as a disability to knit tonight, but I managed to work through it. Do any of you suffer from arthritis? It runs in my family, on my mother's side, I'm almost positive it's early arthritis. Not only have I been dealing with that in the last 24 hours, but I've had back pains and aches for the last couple of weeks (I'd say at least a month) and the heel spurs just seem to be getting worse. Is this really what happens to your body as you age? If so, I must be screwed.
I was emailed a few days ago by my wonderful father, to remind me to change my winter tires. I love these little reminders, they're great. Honestly, I have no time to think during the day about stuff like changing my winter tires, that this is a great reminder. However, I heard that it's supposed to snow next week. I don't want that to happen and have my summer tires on my car, so I'm waiting a bit more to change over my tires. Sucks though, I just chucked my winter boots (as they weren't going to make it until next winter, and they weren't exactly cheap boots) so I don't have proper winter boots anymore. I'm going to pray to the sun gods and hope that there is no snow. Mother nature… she's a really tricky woman, ain't she?

Mecardonia Gold Dust
* Common name: Mecardonia Gold Dust(R)
* Botanical name: Mecardonia
* What it is: A short, creeping annual flower that Proven Winners introduced to the U.S. market last summer. The little-leafed plants hug the ground at under 6 inches and bloom profusely all summer in bright gold. Rabbits don't like them.
* Size: 4 to 6 inches tall, 12 to 15 inches apart.
* Where to use: Mass along the front of any sunny garden or along a sidewalk or driveway. Will trail out of a pot or hanging basket.
* Care: Plant mid May to early June. Keep damp the first few weeks, then water only in droughty conditions. Very heat- and drought-tough. At their best in mid-summer. Work compost and timed-release flower fertilizer into soil at planting, then add a liquid flower fertilizer monthly in season (for peak bloom). Yank and compost when frost kills them in fall.
* Great partner: Red marigolds or red celosia are good annual partners. Or use to add a colorful summer "skirt" to hollies, yews, boxwoods or junipers.

I have t of the gold dust planters and 2 of them are still beautiful and yellow, the other 2 have turned black. They were all in basically the same spot. I am wondering if there is something I can do to bring them back?

I am a PhD student based at The Open University (OU) supervised by William Gosling at the University of Amsterdam.
My PhD is part of the NERC funded project, '500,000 years of solar irradiance, climate and vegetation changes'. I am looking at modern pollen-vegetation relationships in Ghana, using pollen traps to characterise pollen output from different vegetation types such as savannah and seasonally dry tropical forest. This work will aid in the interpretation of the long term pollen record data from Lake Bosumtwi. I will also be partaking in outreach activities and undertaking fieldwork in Ghana on both 2013 and 2014 to collect and replace pollen traps.

There is just something awesome about getting some fresh, new shirts in your wardrobe. Pants, shirts, skirts, dresses, of course we love all of those, but the top is just what sets it all off.
Everyone knows that you can design your entire outfit down to your accessories by starting with just your top.
Kitsch Kandy has the top top's of the summer just for you. Whether you're looking for t-shirts, tank tops, or gym vests, you can come home to Kitsch Kandy to find them.
Let's talk about t-shirts. You can use graphic tees to speak to the world. Whatever is in your heart or on your mind, you can let it be seen. Let's look at a few of our graphic t-shirts and see which one speaks to you!
First is the 'Coffee Saved Me' Raglan Sleeve T-shirt. Say hello to your skinny jeans' new best friend. Our jersey print tee is a brand new shape, with a curved hem and short sleeves. Is there a coffee lover in you? Can't wake up without it? Tell the world!
I love the 'Everything Is A Choice" Split Back Tank Top. Split Back tanks are huge this season and We've mastered the casual layer (if we do say so ourselves) with this split back tank top. Made of 100% fine ring-spun combed cotton, this lightweight fine jersey is exceptionally smooth and tight-knit. Let the world know that we all have the choice (for everything)!
Take a look at the 'Hate You 2' Tee. Perfect for those bad mood days, this black tee warns everyone to stay away, far away. Of course, maybe you're just sarcastic and you want to play to your cattier side, either way, this is the shirt to tell everyone.
This 'Parental Advisory' Tee is perfect if you have an explicit personality. Are you a total extrovert? You may need to add this shirt to your wardrobe immediately! It's in the details: a crew neck and half sleeve are chic additions to the style, while added swing flatters your shape.
I am loving all of Kitsch Kandy's coral colored graphic tees. With graphics such as, "It's a Great Time to be Gay," "Play Me," "Stay Weird," and "Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe," you will find the one that's for you. It's time to shine. Made of fine jersey, it has a durable, vintage feel, these T-shirts features a cute print to add an extra bit of boldness to your everyday look.
Having a lazy day? Yeah, me too, but I'm not ashamed of it. Tell everyone that the only place you'd like to be today is at home on the couch or better yet, in bed! Or maybe, you just want to let everyone know that it didn't take any effort whatsoever to be gorgeous today. Why? because you just woke up that way! The 'I Woke Up Like This' Tee With its relaxed fit and casual cut, is perfect for the just-threw-it-on look (no need to mention that hour of outfit changes).
Another style that is also very in this summer is the gym vest. Whether you want to claim that no, there has been no change and you are 'still gay,' or you want to let everyone know that 'your vibe attracts your tribe,' either is perfect. The ultimate and original low cut fashion gym from Kitsch Kandy. Perfectly cut to show off your gym body, this vest is made of fine jersey, it has a durable, vintage feel.
Of course, those are by far not ALL of the top top's Kitsch Kandy wants you to add to your fresh, summer wardrobe, for that you need to head on over to www.kitschkandy.com and see for yourself.
Come on over and vibe with your tribe. What do you want to proclaim?

"Man is the only animal whose existence is a problem that he has to solve."~Erich Fromm
For anyone that might've missed it, yesterday was the 4th of July. Independence Day for the United States of America. The 241st birthday. Happy Birthday USA. Happy Birthday. Needless to say, fireworks weren't hard to see or hear as evidenced by the bellowing booms and flashes for a few days prior.
Last night the City of Winter Springs, FL put on their annual show of fireworks for the city and whoever else in the Central Florida area wanted to join in the festivities. It took place at Central Winds Park and there were local vendors, live music, a brief presentation by the mayor, all ending in a fireworks display. Seized the opportunity to practice some night photography and get in some excellent people watching. Nothing say's patriotism like a crowd fully clothed in versions of the American flag and bought at Old Navy, Kohls, or Walmart. Not that I was exempt as I wore a Fife and Drum printed t-shirt, purchased in Colonial Williamsburg. The point however is not that. It's something along the line's of the photographs of fireworks that were captured.
I'm pretty sure most people don't flock to fireworks shows with their families in tow, hoping to find some undiscovered part of themselves that's been laying dormant for their whole lives. But come on….some of these fireworks are pretty cool looking and can give folks the feels. Like the one just above…a giant group of jellyfish?! Illuminated dementors?! Whatever it is, sending low explosive pyrotechnics shooting off into the sky for entertainment can make one ponder some things in life. Especially when paired with appropriately timed music that makes the whole event that much more immersive.
Take these stars for example. Wait, those are fireworks again. Right. Imagination getting the better of me again. How fun is it though to look up and imagine you're somewhere else, while your feet are still on the ground?! Kinda like being a kid again. Remember that part of your brain that was full of creativity, imagination, and wonder as a kid?! Fireworks might tend to tap into that.
Sea anemone maybe?!
Holographic giant Dahlia flower?!
A group of little spaceships having it out at the edge of the event horizon of a black hole?! "pew pew"
Not quite sure what the purpose of entertainment fireworks are when broken down the nitty gritty. But who cares?! If just for a brief moment, that sense of reality is paused and the enjoyment of wonder is embraced again, isn't that one purpose?! Enjoying the fun of freedom booms, whatever that even means to you. The city of Winter Springs does a fantastic job creating community in these events. It's eerily organized in everything from the parking in's and out's to the program they have set up.
So why post the initial quote about existence? That's up to you to figure out, but for me it's readily found in small moments that I do my best to enjoy fully. Letting my imagination have a little fun and being okay with it. That's gotta count for something.

text: At the extraordinary meeting of Petrol AD, held on September 5, the shareholders made a decision to issue bonds worth BGN25MN. They entitled the company's Management Board to take decisions about bond loans up to BGN100MN for a period of up to 5 years. The bond loans will be used to finance the core operation of Petrol AD. Another important decision of the general meeting was that the company would buy 95,411,760 shares, representing 100% of Naftex Petrol's capital. So far 99.4% of that company was in the hands of Naftex Bulgaria Holding (formerly Yukos), controlled by Mitko Sabev. The holding and the company Ross Oil (owned by it), which hold more than 92% of Petrol's capital, were not entitled to vote when making the decision about that deal as article 114a of the Public Offering of Securities Act regards them as partial persons. Both Petrol AD and Naftex Petrol are within the structure pf Naftex Bulgaria Holding. Thus, the decisive vote was in the hands of the minority shareholders, who approved the deal with three quarters of the representatives at the general meeting. The minority owners of the top local distributor of fuels are about 3,500 natural persons and some 10-15 juristic persons. However, only about 20 of them attended the general meeting on September 5. By that purchase Naftex Petrol wants to increase the consolidated profit of Petrol AD. The payment of the deal will be probably deferred.Naftex Petrol is a wholesale supplier of fuel and sells some 30,000 tons per month, which is almost one third of the monthly consumption in this country. Its 2002 sales were worth an aggregate BGN355MN. Petrol's turnover for the first half of 2003 amounted to BGN162.4MN. But the privatized enterprise's profit dropped 8-fold, in the first six months of 2003 as compared to the same period of 2002 and totalled BGN1.2MN. Petrol AD has 445 filling stations and 74 petrol facilities. According to the company's managerial team, it holds about 25-30% of the domestic fuel market. Despite the company's falling financial results, it is a leader in the rating of Varna-based companies according to that indicator. The initiative for that ranking was of the auditing firms Active and APEA Plan, which intend to make it each year.

OverviewIn this article, I'll explain an easy but an important concept of how to catch user pressed keys and write them into a log file.DescriptionOften you need to know what kind of key combination your final user has pressed, to know if theyre doing the things in the right way, or just to know what theyre writing as they are using the computer. Once, one client asked me to monitor the activity of his employees, to see if they were working when he was away.Obviously I cant write an example like that, I dont have enough room, but I reckon that this example will be useful to understand how to write a more difficult one.We need a form, just put a listbox, just to see whats happening.now lets set the KeyPreview Property of the form on true, so that well be able to catch keys.ok, now lets write some code in the KeyUp Event.private void Form1_KeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e){listBox1.Items.Add(e.KeyCode);StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\Prova.txt",true);sw.Write(e.KeyCode);sw.Close();}listBox1.Items.Add(e.KeyCode);this line of code is to see keys pressed in the listbox;then lets write the pressed keys in a text file://Open or Create the file if doesnt existStreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\Prova.txt",true);//Write into the filesw.Write(e.KeyCode);//Close the file.sw.Close();Finally, I have a very good tip in order to use the application, without the user knowing.We need to set the Opacity Property of the form on 0%, and to set ShowInTaskBar on False otherwise the user will know something is up.Before:after:
Enjoy !!!

At VICE News, chronicling Trump's various physical and linguistic ticks is somewhere between a hobby and an obsession. These Trump quirks are sometimes informative, sometimes absurd, always entertaining.
The latest trend we noticed is Trump's "hands-on" approach. This POTUS seems unable to stop physically patting everything — and everyone — around him. Watch a compilation of Trump's presidential pat-downs below.

Whilst everything we are organising is Family Friendly, we are only suggesting where to be and when, therefore have no control over who attends and how they act, this will be the responsibility of the campsite. We will of course do everything we can to ensure everyone has a good time and enjoys themselves, given the nature of gamers and campers in general we do not expect there to be any issues at all.

A 26-year-old man is accused of stealing a car, leading police on a brief chase and causing a four-car pileup in Billings on Wednesday morning.
Travis John Iverson was scheduled to appear in Yellowstone County Justice Court on Thursday. He faces two counts of criminal endangerment, a felony, and four misdemeanors: theft first offense, obstructing a peace officer, driving while the privilege to do so has been suspended or revoked and operating a motor vehicle without liability protection in effect.
Justice of the Peace Jeanne Walker set bond at $50,000.
Police were called to Third Street West and Terry Avenue on Wednesday around 7 a.m. for a report that two people in a Honda Prelude were driving around slowly, with the passenger trying to open doors on parked, running cars, according to charging documents.
After locating the Honda, officers activated their lights and sirens and tried to pull the car over, but it kept driving, heading east on Terry Ave.
Another officer whose car was ahead of the Honda activated his lights, but the Honda drove around that police car, continuing east on Terry Avenue, charges state. The driver failed to obey stop signs at Sixth Street West and Fifth Street West.
Officers were still watching the Honda as it arrived at Fourth Street West, collided with another car and spun out, causing a four-car wreck.
More than half a million dollars in personal property went missing in Billings during 2017 in the form of 118 stolen cars that were never recovered.
Officers saw the driver get out of the Honda and run north. An officer arrested him and on the way back to his patrol car found a missing shoe believed to belong to the female passenger. She was apprehended by another officer, who found her lying on her stomach behind a wall, hiding in an enclosed porch nearby, charges state.
The driver was later identified as Iverson.
The car Iverson had been driving was registered to a 73-year-old man, police learned. The man said the car had been stolen earlier in the week, but he had not yet filed a police report.
Iverson had a no-bond federal parole violation warrant out at the time of his arrest, charges state.

Francis, a Rich Model for Serving the Poor
Born in 1182 in Assisi, Italy - Francis was brought up in luxury, considerable wealth and extravagant pleasures. He was well-off in other ways too; he was very good-looking, had many friends and all the noble men's sons were his companions. One day Francis was joking and laughing with his friends. A homeless guy came along crying for spare change. Francis, who was soft-hearted, gave him whatever he had. His friends mocked him for his charity. The sight of the beggar set him thinking about the poverty and misery of the mundane life he had been living. Immediately, he became inspired to give money to the poor. This did not go over very well at home. His father thought that Francis was wasting the family's money and tried to stop his random acts of philanthropy.
Francis fell seriously ill and was bedridden for many months. He was just about to die when the Lord extended his hand of mercy and revived him. After receiving a new lease on life, Francis changed completely. He began to pray often and soon had a vision and supernatural encounter with the Lord. After the vision, almost instantly Francis gave up his old ways by distributing all of his clothes, goods and money to the poor. He informed his parents of his new life in Christ and his call to serve the poor. His father became progressively angry, upset and once said, "Is this the gratitude you show to me? I labored hard and achieved all this wealth. Now you are lavishly wasting it on these miserable wretches". Even Francis' long-time friends mocked him. They pelted him with stones and mud whenever they ran into him on the streets. But Francis bore all the rejection and disdain with patience.
In serving the poor, Francis became known all around the region as a humble man that loved and freely gave to all of God's creatures. He cherished birds and beasts. He loved the homeless, depressed and the outcasts. Soon others were following with him in his footsteps. Bernard, a very rich man of Assisi joined with him. Together the two brothers placed all their wealth at the altar of God. Others also joined. They distributed all their wealth to the poor. The news of the brothers and their gospel of kindness and love for the poor soon spread all over Europe and earned for him the name of "Saint" Francis. People also called him "the little poor man of Assisi". For centuries now, the lavish wealth of Francis' poverty continues to forever endure in the hearts and minds of the rich and poor alike.

There is such a universality of St. Francis that people respond too. His preaching is so simple, his respect for God's children is so complete, everyone can find a way to relate to St. Francis. He usually is the first saint people, especially children, respond too. I am so grateful that we have people like St Francis who can still inspire us.

I say something several times a week just as I'm walking or sitting or when somebody aggravates me.
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change. The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference." (also known as the Serenity Prayer)It's from St. Francis of Assisi, right?

The Serenity Prayer is generally attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr - a theologian who lived from 1892–1971. His writings are most likely where AA discovered the prayer to use in its program. In reality, the prayer is much older. The Anglican publishing house, Mobray of London confirms it as a General or Common Prayer of 14th century England.

My favorite prayer of all time is the St. Francis prayer. (in recovery it's suggested as the 11th step prayer) Thank you for the article and it is inspiring. More and more I feel that truly what is the most worth while and spiritually fufilling would be to dedicate myself to be of service to those in the world who poor and in need. I can think of no better ideal to guide ones choices in life. There is so much suffering, to be able to bring joy and comfort to those in need, truly what joy one can experience in following Gods calling to us.

To Anonymous: Thanks for letting me know to whom the Serenity Prayer is attributed. Man,it sure sounds like something St. Francis would concur with, I think.
St. Francis of Assisi was indeed amazing. I want to be more like him.

The bank's assets stood at EUR 5.2bn as at end-June and EUR 5.3bn as at end-March. Volksbank International reported, however, that its exposure on the Romanian market remains the most important followed by its operations in the Czech Republic (EUR 2bn) and Hungary (EUR 1.9bn). The bank did not provide further comments about the financial results of Volksbank Romania. The local Volksbank subsidiary reported in March an alarming rate of bad loans at 21.6%, the highest in the local banking system.

As the embers in my fireplace burned into the early morning, I poured over statistics in the latest release of Baseball America's 2008 Almanac. It was frigid outside and the bitter wind could be heard whistling in the night air. I smelled the musky smoke and heard the cackle of the fire and realized that we are entering the coldest two months of the year. Two months of coats and hats, gloves and scarves. Two months that are barren of baseball and where Sportscenter features stories on hockey and horseshoes. But, much like the warm fire in the cold arctic air, I had my XM radio. My little electronic device that brings me talk about baseball every day, every minute, and every second of the year - if only I choose to listen.
I fired up the gadget and on this particular night the talk was of Roger Clemens' possible steroid use and of the recent trade of Nick Swisher from the Oakland A's to the Chicago White Sox. Ahhh... the warmth of baseball.
While I listened to the voices talking at me about prospects and performance enhancing drugs, my mind drifted to our upcoming trip to Spring Training. I've gone twice before. The first time it was just Dad and me. The second time, we took Pap along.
Actually - now that I think about it - this will be the fifth "baseball trip" with my father. The first one was in 1988 or 1989 when my father and I drove around the mid-west and took in an Indian's game at old Municipal Stadium, a White Sox game in their brand new Comiskey II, and we tried to tune into Bucco games over the AM radio in our rental car as we drove through the night in far off cities. We took a train back from Chicago and got to ride in a sleeper car, realizing that it was less glamorous than we had expected and much more uncomfortable. Our second trip was more than 10 years later - after my graduation from college. We went to a bunch of parks along the east coast including The Vet, Shea, Yankee Stadium, Fenway, Camden Yards, then we headed west to Wrigley, and Jacob's Field - stopping in Williamsport for the Little League World Series along the way. Our two trips to spring training followed that.
As the years pass, I wish I had a better chronicle of each of our trips. What stands out in my mind the most about our spring training trips was the Bloody Marys that Pap ordered us at a local bar in Tampa, the Mustang convertible that we rented, and the college hoops that we watched in our hotel room each night. It's funny that the baseball games seem to be secondary on these vacations. Ironically, you look forward to the trip thinking about the cold beer and the games that you'll watch and enjoy, but when you come home what you remember most is the time that you spent with your loved ones.

I lived in Orlando for 2 years and I told myself that I should drive the 2 hours for the Phillies Spring Training and I never did. I think it is very cool to do the trip.

Skip to comments.Video: Barack Gets Rebuffed on Saudi Welcome Line (Embarassing indeed!)
Posted on 06/03/2009 8:17:14 PM PDT by Justaham
Today POTUS, or PrezBO as I like to call him, paid his first visit in the Middle East this week to Saudi Arabia. This video from a bit of him on the "Welcome Line" with King Abdullah CLEARLY shows that few there want to acknowledge him on that line. Watch in slow motion that Barack clearly extends his hands several times, yet nobody accepts his hand. He finally does get a response from the last ma More..n in this brief clip. I've recorded it in slow motion so you can clearly see that he gets no love from the first 3 or 4 folks in the line. They only extend their hand for King Abdullah.
Poor Obama...not feeling the love you thought you would? He's DEFINITELY not feeling the adulation he enjoys in the Western world!

Pathetic loser
What a putz
This is an easy one. It's because he failed to bow to the King this time.
He'll remember for next time.
Does Rush or Neal know about this one?
What a tool!
Uh oh, we're in trouble. Like many narcissistic people, he was rebuffed by the Saudiâs but he will take it out on us. He will be more ruthless in his plans to destroy America.
That's funny!
"Reaching Out To The Muslim World"
I am laughing too! Being a narcissist, I am sure that he hates being ignored!
I wish he was that easy to ignore here.
BO looks p*ssed.
I am laughing so hard I'm snorting! What a loser.
MO will be easier to provoke into a meltdown L0L
"This is an easy one. Its because he failed to bow to the King this time."
Did he bring a gift? (CDs and helicopter models for the King's kids?)
He got THREE rebuffs, blatant ones!!!
Don't these people know who he IS???
Gasping with laughter --- yours is the absolute perfect title for that clip!!!!!
Evidently, he smelled of cigarettes and a ham sammich.....

Day 33: It's an 'R' Mom!
So here he is Mr.-I'm-Making-An-R-Himself
He does a lot of posturing to get it when he's sitting down, but standing up he doesn't. So we went through the alphabet this morning and he can make an a, b, c, d, e, f, a decent try at a g, not so hot on the h, still can't do an i, j, k, l, but isn't too bad at m, n, and o, has the right hand position but the fingers still aren't right for a p and q, is a great r maker, he makes an s that is perfect, he's been doing a t for a long time, and has trouble with u, v, w although I was watching him work on this one in the hallway earlier, and still has problems with x, y and z. All in all I thought it was pretty darn cool!
Lot's of things are changing and they are changing lightening fast. Two days ago I could walk around the corner on the 1st floor of the hospital and watch him in the mirror and even though he wanted to go the other way he would stop, think a minute and then turn around to come and get me or go my way. Not now! Yesterday I stood in my usual place watching him and he stood in his usual place around the corner and thought, then he backed up nice and straight until he could see me, smiled the biggest I'm-doing-it-my-way-see-ya smile I've ever seen on the kid, and took off down the hall. He has gotten fast enough it was probably a good 30 feet before I could catch him. He now stops here and there along the hospital route to tell me about the pictures and statues, insists that his cup is filled at every water fountain whether he is thirsty or not, wants to push, ram or in some other way man-handle anything that he can get his gait trainer up against. He has no fear of going down new halls and will actually slip onto any open elevator and run through any open door if he thinks I'm the least bit distracted. Needless to say I don't let him wander as far ahead of me any more and I don't chat on the phone while he is loose anymore.
John has always been a smart kid, whether he looks it or not to strangers those who have worked with him are always amazed at just how much horse power is in his head. Let me tell you the horses are on high-octane feed and running for the back fence. He is figuring out stuff at rates that I've never seen him do before and is getting more social all the time. He is waving more, smiling more, and just in general more interested in the people around him. He is now fascinated with the kids and has walked into more than one wall, post, etc., because he was turned around looking at what the kids were doing. At the same time he is eating more, it's still cereal and half the time he has to either have Tiger taste it or feed it to him, but still he's eating more. The whole thing with Tiger is all new and fascinating and changing too, this morning it was cool that we left Tiger when we were headed to church but when we came back and got ready to leave for the cafeteria he was almost out the door and then told me Tiger and ran back to get him before we left.
I am so thankful that Mark is coming on Tuesday evening so that he can enjoy this wonderful little boy who is becoming so much more little boy every minute. Surgery is coming on Friday and while I don't expect that John will go backwards, he never has, not even when he was septic, near death and intubated for a month, but I don't think that he'll progress much and most of his energy is surely going to be spent on healing for a while. For the moment his energy is being spent on growing and running and learning and playing and being silly oh, and impressing his mommy at every turn.
So I can't resist one more picture, it's the same outfit as this morning, his very first time in a couple years to have a real button down shirt and he was so impressed. Omi, Mark's mom, told him that every man and boy needed a good white shirt and tie, well we don't have the tie and since his dad doesn't wear one I'm not sure how John would like it, and the shirt's not straight white but it sure was making me think of Omi this morning when John was sitting there all spiffy and smiling.

On the cusp of your beloved threshold I saw you, your sturdy ankles and tremulous steps into the derelict edifice, cobwebbed balustrade gleaming like ebony water under your bone-white hand,
carpet of dust and crumpled photographs like your own sacred altar.
I saw you kneeling, and your hands amassed the grave irretrievable.
I watched you cradle your forlorn vignettes; a pillowcase with crude seams and thimblepricks of blood, an old sneaker with no laces, pastel candlesticks burned to wicker stubs.
I followed your tread towards the broken mantle of our stony youth, where someone has burned shriveled letters, our voices risen in a grey plume of ash.
I heard you speak to the kind-faced phantoms seated at your kitchen table. Their gentle answers like smoke while you nod and understand, now and forever, that the arthritic floorboards and spiderlace walls are forsaken aches with no absolution.
The ghosts and I watched sadly as you gathered strips of wallpaper and upholstery like a child picking wildflowers, tearing iridescent growth from Terra's groaning breast.
"None of us are going back." You tell me this over and again while we gather our dead and leave our fingerprints on every window of this brick and mortar mausoleum.
I hear you singing hymns and christmas carols, and then the stark echo, the house key's last turn, hear your holy words as you carve our names into the ceiling and drop breadcrumbs down the hall.

Sunset over Goathland
Many years back I visited the National Gallery in London and checked out the Turners. It struck me at the time that my appreciation of art had in fact been replaced by a technical appraisal. I now see paintings in a completely different way.... but don't get me wrong J. W. M. Turner was a true master.
The paintings on show at the time included the Fighting Temeraire which had a similar sky to this one. It was a shame to see that they were all terribly faded, it would have been amazing to see them as they were when he had just painted them.
The other thing that struck me was that Mr Turner had painted all the skies on show in a similar way . He had a sky formula.
I was a little disappointed but also found it very liberating in that I was now allowed to construct paintings rather than slavishly trying to represent what I'd seen. If it was OK for the great Mr Turner then surely it was OK for me.

(Waldorf, MD., May 3, 2017) – The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (6-7) lost 12-11 in game three of a four-game series with the Sugar Land Skeeters (6-7) on Wednesday.
The scoring started early in the game, as Gary Brown hit a leadoff home run, his second of the year for the Blue Crabs. An error on Sugar Land's Chris Nelson plated Danny Muno from third, before a Zach Cone sacrifice fly scored the final run of the first inning, as Zach Wilson tagged up to extend the lead to 3-0.
Sugar Land scored their first run of the game in the third, as three straight hits scored Derek Miller, cutting the lead to 3-1. Southern Maryland's starter Pat Misch (0-2) struggled in the fourth, giving up a two-run home run to Travis Scott to tie the game at 3-3. An error at shortstop scored the third run of the inning for Sugar Land, giving them their first lead of the afternoon 4-3. They extended the lead off of Misch with a huge fifth inning, hitting two home runs off of Misch. After a two-out single, the starter was lifted from the game and replaced by reliever Sam Runion. Runion gave up a two-run shot to the first batter he faced, as Josh Prince took the Sugar Land lead to 10-3, as the Skeeters scored six runs in the inning behind their three home runs.
Southern Maryland responded in the bottom of the fifth inning, putting up six runs of their own. Back-to-back doubles put runners on second and third for Zach Cone, who picked up his second RBI of the day on a single. When Skeeter's starter Brett Marshall walked in a run, he was pulled from the game with the bases loaded and a 10-5 lead. Reliever Sean Gleason (1-0) came out of the bullpen and gave up a grand slam to Ryan Wiggins, his first home run as a Blue Crab and first professional grand slam. "I knew I was behind in my first two at-bats so when I got in a fastball count I was just looking to shoot a single up the middle," said Wiggins. "(Gleason) left a fastball inside though and I was able to turn on it and bring the game back to just one run deficit for my team."
Jeremy Barfield led off the seventh for Sugar Land, hitting his second solo shot of the game, and giving Sugar Land a 11-9 lead. They extended the lead further in the eighth innings, as Barfield scored his third run of the game on a Scott double. The
Blue Crabs were able to fight back once again in the bottom of the eighth, as Gary Brown and Zach Wilson both scored their second runs of the game. Southern Maryland then loaded the bases, trailing just 12-11. With two outs, reliever Mark Haynes (S,1) was able to strand the runners, jamming Edwin Garcia for a dribbler back up the middle to end the inning.
Southern Maryland threatened Haynes again in the bottom of the ninth putting two runners on after Ryan Wiggins led off with a single and Muno drew his fourth walk of the afternoon. Haynes was once again able to strand the Southern Maryland runners, as the Blue Crabs ended the afternoon having left 11 runners on base and losing by just one run.
"The guys fought hard all day and just came up a little bit short today," said Manager John Harris. "Conditions were tough with the wind blowing out all day, but our guys fought hard and stayed in it all day. I'll never question our guy's effort and their desire to win, and with the bats coming along we will get where we want to be soon."

I am available girls
Won Bin (photo above), who by the way looks like my brother, is top 2 in the Asian Heart Throb poll. Ahead of him is none other than the handsome Piolo Pascual (below), a hunk from the Philippines.
I don't need to act cute, I am already one
Wow, Asians do really know how to judge and pick the right guys. These guys are what we call the Vitamin A (good for the eyes). I am just wondering who else made the top 10. My source is kind of limited and the link was no longer available.

I have been blogging at several venues these days apart from my own blogs. My first venture was when Satish bhaiya invited me to blog on his blog Genius Hackers. I was overwhelmed and it gave me that confidence that my blog finally had readers and not just visitors. In the beginning, I was the only one visiting my blog and sometimes visitors who were lead to this blog via search engines. Well, I do find a slow and steady growth in the number of visitors, depending upon the frequency and quality of posts. Then came the official blog of the orkut community Hackers Library (http://www.thehackerslibrary.com).
Every experience teaches me a lesson, gives me a suggestions, and makes me wiser.
When blogging the most important thing to remember is to avoid copy pasting. It will affect your image and tag you as a copy cat among the netizens. Instead, if something amuses you key in what thoughts it brought to your mind. After all, we are all human and we can all think. Every human DNA is different from each other and similarly every human thought can also differ. Every piece of literature can be given an entirely different meaning under your perspective, something which the author or poet might not have thought of.
When I begun blogging at Genius Hackers, I began by copy-pasting my own posts there. But that was not welcomed. Because every blog owner expects it's posts to be unique, when I copy paste, the uniqueness is lost. A post can have websites linking to it, but not it's own copies in other blogs.
Every blogger tries to increase traffic to his site. Because a blog without readers doesn't serve it's purpose. Every person has his own thoughts and innovative ideas, but for some, the spark or the writing spree doesn't last for long. Such people do not go for opening a blog for themselves, because they know that they have many more commitments to chase. For such people, guest blogging is a great idea. Here there is no need to create a new blog, instead they can post for another blog, who permits them to register and post. And when there is a contest around then, the time spent to post might return as prizes. It's a great way for non-serious blogger and also for the blog to earn traffic and posts. It benefits both parties.
Such a venture is here at Genius Hackers. The GH.com Contest.
Just register and blog on a related topic, blog what you know. Who knows you might be the lucky one to bag the prize!
Just register and let your heart speak!

From the heart of Sweden
Posted Monday, August 8, 2005
Filed under: Personal, Travel notes
Happy Birthday Jana! "Ah 'ot homehing behind my 'ooth, can you help me?" (Now I know this movie almost line by line " src="/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" class="inline" />)
While you read those lines I am probably struggling against all sort of things.
Rain, mosquitoes, hills, hunger and empty batteries in the CD player, everything must be turning against me at present. Don't pity me though, I've chosen it!
At last, a first-hand experience of Sweden's very heart: long tracts of forest, lakes as big as seas, summers like French winters, and breathtaking landscapes. At last, no temptation to eat chocolate, because it doesn't grow on trees and I manage not to indulge myself in this kind of things... ( girls!)
My sleeping bag is 30 year old, and my backpack 10 years more, my skates must have followed for a minimum estimate of a thousand kms in the course of four dutifull years but, how I wish they were lighter!
Finally a message to those in Prague: have fun, have lots of fun! I miss you...

Profite bien de Kabukim & de Varsovie. Reviens-nous vite

This is a fast paced and to the point guide, the main goal is for you to set up a system for sending and receiving push notifications without rolling out 3rd party servers.
In this course you'll focus on:
- Setting up Ionic framework to receive push notifications.
- Using Cloud Functions to create users based on database changes.
- Using Cloud Functions to send Push notifications.
- Handling notifications on the phone.
Are you in? Enroll now!
Thanks to you things are moving much faster and I can see an end in sight. On top of that, I gained the skills needed to manage my app. I would never have made it this far without you.
What you'll get
- The course as an easy to digest PDF.
- The source code for the showcase app.
You should already be familiar with Ionic to start; This isn't an Ionic 101 course. If you don't feel comfortable enough with Firebase yet don't worry, it includes a refresher more basic course on Firebase for free!
How often do you update the course?
I knew you'd ask this, you're not alone with that feeling, and yeah, I keep the course up-to-date.
It usually takes me a couple of days to go from Ionic/Firebase/AngularFire new release to launch a new book update, it all depends on the size of the update and if there are any breaking changes.
Who am I?
Hey — I'm Jorge Vergara, I'm the guy behind JAVEBRATT.
I'm a full stack developer, teacher, and Entrepreneur from Colombia. I used to be a freelance developer, but now I spend most of my time working on my products (App ideas and books 😛).
Do you have a refund policy?
I have a no questions asked, 14-day refund policy. Just reply to the email where the receipt was sent within 14 days of your purchase.
Not that I'm asking, but if you do, just let me know why it helps 🙂
What if I have any other questions?
That's an easy one, just shoot me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, and we can chat a bit.
Ready to get started with Firebase Cloud Functions to send Push Notification to Ionic apps?
Order today — and know your purchase is safe with a 14-day money back guarantee.

Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.
- Stephen Swid, executive
Money is a commodity that will come and go for each peson, but will be around forever. You only have one opportunity to spend each minute of your time.
Those who devote their working lives to accumulating a great deal of money and material wealth generally invest their time and efforts unwisely in terms of their health when they are old enough to enjoy the fruits of their efforts.
Some don't live long enough to enjoy what they sacrificed so much to earn.
Working to accumulate wealth is an industrial model of society. That is, the objective is to die with as much wealth as possible. However, industries don't die.
The industrial model may work for publicly traded companies in capitalist countries, but it fails individuals badly when they adopt it for their own lives.
Dying rich means leaving material wealth to those who did little or nothing to earn it, and who likely will not appreciate it.
A wise investment of time brings much greater rewards to the living than a wise investment of cash. The industrial model doesn't work that way. The industrial model will use up a life and spit it out without a twang of conscience. Buying into it as a personal model for life means setting yourself up for spit.
You have a choice. Live your life to make your bank rich or live it to make your own and the lives of others you touch wealthy by making them rich in real values, personal values that matter to you and those who will follow you.
