Some of you may be wondering, 'so how do the pros do it?' This week we will explore that question and give you the tools that you need to make and distribute your own apps.
Workflow Basics
Now that you have had a bit of time to key around with different programming languages, let's talk about what to do with the skills that you have begun to develop. We will discuss putting your skills to work through computer and mobile app development, but keep in mind that your skills are not limited only to building apps.
Apps are typically self-contained programs that perform a series of tasks related to the same overall function. Apps all have some sort of graphical user interface (GUI)--which is a fancy way of saying the buttons on the screen that the user pushes and the content being displayed.
Operating systems for devices have evolved to include easy access to a marketplace (Apple App Store, Google Play, and the growing Windows Store) rich with free and low-cost apps.
There is currently quite a bit of free software available designed to create apps for a variety of marketplaces, and the software is aimed at professional developers and hobbyists alike.
Though development varies across platforms, the basic concepts are all the same. Each platform has a specific set of tools called a software development kit (SDK) for creating apps. Those tools usually include the following: code editor, interface builder, frameworks (prefab code libraries), code debugger, a simulator that gives you a live test of your app, and some way of measuring how your app performs on a specific device.
To integrate all the tools, programmers utilize an integrated development environment (IDE). It may be helpful to think of the SDK as the tools necessary for building an app, and the IDE functions like the workbench keeping all the tools together and at close reach.
Many apps also require an application programming interface (API) to communicate to an operating system, a database, or some other piece(s) of software.
Below is a list of resources broken down into three popular development platforms Android, iOS, and Windows. Getting started can be a bit tricky, so I have included getting started resources and tutorials. The image above features an infographic detailing the general workflow for building an app. In the tutorials below, you will find similar charts more specific to your needs.

Computer code is all around us and powers every electronic device. As an exercise for those who may have never seen a code before, hit F12 (Internet Explorer), Ctrl+U (Firefox and Chrome), or Cmd+Opt+U (Safari) to see the source code for this webpage.
In an increasingly digital age, learning computer skills is a fundamental necessity, and learning programming is like learning the language. Learning to code has never been easier, and everyday more resources are popping up to teach you how. Currently, there is a high demand for programmers in the job market. This post is dedicated to giving you some of those resources.
Learning to Code
Codecademy is a great place to start learning the nuts and bolts of various programming languages: HTML/CSS, PHP, jQuery, Javascript, Python, Ruby and information on API's. There are dozens of projects that allow you to put your skills to use designing games and personalized web applications.
Python is a great place to start programming. This scripting language is expressive and easy to understand. The Python community has come together to create tons of libraries and tutorials to get you started and beyond.
Scratch is a graphic programming language that teaches users the basics of object-oriented programming (OOP). This program was created by MIT and teaches you to create games and animations. Check out Learn Scratch to get started. Teachers interested in including Scratch into curriculum may be pleased to note the 'Lesson Plans' section.
Alice Developed by Carnegie Mellon University, Alice is similar to Scratch and teaches users OOP in a 3D environment through the use of storytelling.
Happy Nerds Want more? Happy Nerds has put together a fairly comprehensive site with more resources for learning to code for various platforms.
SmallBasic is based on Microsoft's .NET programming language. The SmallBasic language editing software (called an integrated development environment, IDE) allows you to break problems down into small steps and test each one along the way, in other words: teaching you how to think like a programmer.
The library has a Code Club for teens who are interested in learning more about coding and meeting others who share the same interest. Click Here for more information.

Take some time to let this map load, and be sure to check out all its features. This week's topic is a rather difficult one, so take some time and explore all that it has to offer.
View Larger Map
(Map relating the proximity of farmers markets to the types of crops harvested in each region. NOTE: Click Legend in the top right corner and give the map a moment to load)
What is GIS?!
Geographic Information Systems, or GIS, are systems that store, analyze, and graphically present geographic data, called spatial data. Map presentations (like the one featured above) are created by adding layers of data onto a base map.
In the example above, I started with a map of the US, and then I added a shapefile containing a map of all the counties of KY. Next, I added a layer containing all of the farmers markets in the US and a final layer that shows the diversity of crops harvested per county in the US. This simple map shows the relationship between the density of farmers markets and the agricultural productivity of KY counties.
Maps like this one can be analyzed to better understand that relationship, and information like this may be important to farmers looking to corner new markets. In fact, GIS is a very large field that encompasses many disciplines of study like science, the environment, infrastructure, business, social studies, history, geography, and geology. Many jobs are available to people with strong GIS skills, as well.
Below are some resources to get you started in this exciting field.
Free Map Making Software
Here are some free applications that allow you to access data and make maps:
ArcGIS Online
ArcGIS Explorer Desktop
ArcGIS Explorer Online
Data Sources
Your map is only as good as the data that you have to display. Whether or not you realize it, KY is in the top 5 states in the nation for GIS data! Here are bunch of great place for fast, free data:
KY Geological Survey - offered through the University of KY, the KGS is the repository for a wide range of KY Geospatial data
Geospatial Data Library - this is the KGS library of data including links to the KY Geonet, Office of Geographic Information Systems, KY Dept Fish and Wildlife, University of Louisville GIS, the US Geological Survey, and more.
You've got all the tools you need, now what?! Watch some of these videos to get you started:

Amateur researchers and science enthusiasts have aided in scientific research projects for quite a long time. For example, members of the John James Audubon society have participated in bird counts to aid in conservation efforts for over a century.
This method called 'citizen science,' or 'crowdsourcing,' is the systematic collection and analysis of data. It can work in several different ways, like citizens collecting data for researchers to analyze or citizens analyzing the data that researchers have collected.
Below are some web applications that let you be the guinea pig and help science--consider it micro-volunteering!
Solve puzzles by shaping RNA nucleotides and help scientists unlock the secrets of genetics.
Polymath Blog
This one is for all you math-letes out there. This project posts mathematical equations and relies on the crowd to solve them.
Encyclopedia of Life
We looked at EOL in Tip #15. Now you can help by contributing or checking the accuracy of species photos.
This science-project-turned-gamed aims to study the nature of protein structures with the hope of classifying new virus-fighting or CO2-cleaning proteins.
Here you will find more than a dozen research projects broken into the following categories: space, climate, humanities, nature, and biology.
As a sneak peak, Facebook will soon release an app that let's members 'like' a certain whale shark and track conservation efforts.

Though Minecraft has been publicly available for yonks and already raked in $33 million in sales, the much-loved indie dig 'em up is still only in beta. And end of sorts is finally in sight, though, as a release date has now been announced.
Creator Markus 'Notch' Persson revealed on his blog that Minecraft will be 'released' on November 11, 2011. This just so happens to be The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's launch date as well, inspiring the unofficial tagline "us too." Persson notes that he's excited about Skyrim, "so that will be a nice reward for me if we actually manage to hit that date!"
However, as you might imagine, 'releasing' Minecraft won't mean that the game is finished.
It's a bit tricky to really do a release for Minecraft as we keep updating it all the time. For one, the version we deem as the 'full version' won't be very different at all from what the game was like a week ago, and we'll keep adding features after the release as well, so it's really more of a milestone when we finally get rid of the Beta label, and some kind of goal for us to work towards. The plan is to be open with this and try to get people to cheer us on as much as possible, but to be open with the fact that the game won't change much at the actual release day. (It's more a progress up until that point)
Persson also revealed that Minecraft version 1.5 is expected to launch next week, bringing a weather system rather than the expected achievements and statistics features. Rain, snow, ice and storms will periodically batter your blockworlds. Rain will handily water crops, but it'll also put out fires.
iOS and Android versions of Minecraft are also in the works, though they won't be identical to the PC edition.
Mojang Specifications announced its next title last month, a combination of board game and collectible card game by the name of Scrolls.

Xin Chen is a graduate student from China working toward her PhD in Computer Science. Her research focus is multimedia data mining. She explains, "Given a large multimedia database, I use data mining and information retrieval techniques to search images and videos based on their content. Specifically, I try to find out the semantic content of images and some interesting events in the videos. This is different from the most popular search engines on the Internet, which search based on texts. Even the image search by Google is actually based on texts, that is, the captions of images. My research on content based retrieval does not depend on annotations. It has the advantage of being able to deal with images/videos with incorrect annotations or no annotations."
Research can be difficult and rewarding at the same time. Xin looks within for her motivation. "My biggest motivation has been the passion within myself to keep learning and exploring. I worked for two years before I joined the PhD program. When the job itself was not fulfilling anymore, I sought another way to acquire knowledge and to fulfill myself."
Choosing UAB for graduate studies was an easy decision for Xin because the Computer and Information Sciences department has a strong doctoral program in data mining and her advisor's research interests were perfectly matched with her own. She also considers her advisor, Dr. Chengcui Zhang, to be her greatest influence here at UAB adding, "Dr. Zhang taught me how to conduct independent research. At the beginning, it was really hard. So when I had problems or became stuck somewhere, we discussed together. She can always point me to the right direction. Her encouragement and confidence in me has been a driving force throughout my PhD program."
Aside from having a paper accepted at a conference with an acceptance rate of only 9%, Xin has an impressive list of honors and awards that include the following:
- School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Dean's Award, 2008
- Outstanding Graduate (Doctoral) Student Award in Computer and Information Sciences, 2008
- 2nd Place in the Student Research Competition, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Mar. 2007
- 2nd Place in the IEEE Alabama Section 2005-2006 Prize Paper Competition
- Passed the PhD Level I exam with distinction, Jan. 2006
- 1st Place in the Alabama Academy of Science Student Paper Competition, Mar. 2005
- 1st Place in ACM Mid-Southeast Conference Student Research Competition (Doctoral Division), Oct. 2004
Xin's advice for other Graduate Students:
"Don't let the passion within yourself die just because someone else does not agree with it."

In-Fusion PCR Cloning Kits enable directional, seamless cloning of any PCR fragment—or multiple fragments—into any linearized vector in a single 15-minute reaction. No additional treatment of the PCR fragment is required (such as restriction digestion, ligation, phosphorylation, or blunt-end polishing). The efficiency of In-Fusion HD cloning kits is over 95%.
The In-Fusion Enzyme premix fuses PCR-generated sequences and linearized vectors efficiently and precisely, utilizing a 15 bp overlap at their ends. This 15 bp overlap can be engineered by designing custom primers for amplification of the desired sequences. This method can be used to clone single or multiple fragments into a single vector without subcloning.
All In-Fusion HD Cloning Plus kits contain the In-Fusion HD enzyme premix and reagents for control experiments. In-Fusion HD Cloning Plus kits also include:
In-Fusion HD Plus is a complete cloning system that includes all the reagents you need—including the PCR enzyme, competent cells, and PCR clean-up or gel extraction kit.
Please see the product's Certificate of Analysis for information about storage conditions, product components, and technical specifications. Please see the Kit Components List to determine kit components. Certificates of Analysis and Kit Components Lists are located under the Documents tab.

Just let it go Man!
Watch what you say: A few months ago I wrote about a day that I had in court, and the guy who I was summoned to court with named Brian.(I said then, and I still mean it, that I want to desperately penetrate his girlfriend in the worst way.) Anyway, a few weeks ago I am with a group of guys celebrating a friend of mines divorce from a woman, that I affectionately named, "Satan". While I am there I become so drunk that I start break-dancing on the dance floor, mistakenly tell a friend of mine that I slept with his sister once, and a few other things that are now a blur to me. One thing I do remember is seeing Brian, and his girlfriend that he has no business being with. The next day I recall speaking to them, I just forgot what we talked about exactly. "I hope I didn't say some foul shit to them" I thought, hoping that the alcohol that I had ingested didn't alter my decision making skills. The other day I see them at a pool hall that my friend Danny and are are at, so I decide to go up to them and speak. By the smile on his face as I approached them, I knew that I didn't say any foul shit to them a few weeks earlier, but I figured I would still find out just to be sure.
I gave him a handshake, said whats up, and said laughing, "Damn man, the last time I saw you I was fucked up, hope I didn't say any foul shit to you." This motherfucker, I guess because his girl was standing right beside him said, "No homey you didn't, plus you know better anyway because I would have handled you." I was in a weird predicament, because we are supposed to be cool, so I just let out a nervous giggle and walked back to my pool table. The next few minutes his comments grow inside me with bad intentions, like a cancerous tumor, thinking about how he tried to play me in front of his girl. Danny, my dear friend said, "Just let it go man!", a phrase I have heard too often. It got to the point that I went over to his table and asked him, "What exactly do you mean when you say that you would have "handled me", huh?" As he gave me a strong look, like he was about to say some slick shit, I bent over and whispered in his ear, "If I was you I would chose my words wisely and economically, you wouldn't want me to break your fucking jaw in front of your girl and all." His posture changed, and said "Naw dude, I was just fucking with you" and gave me a pound. I gave him a "whatever you say motherfucker" look and walked back to my table. Danny, always the one to break the tension with a silly retort said, "Gee HumanityCritic, what a great way to break the "angry black man" stereotype".
Next Door Neighbor: I have been trying my hardest to mend the tension between myself and my next door neighbors. Yes they are a pain in the ass, yes they constantly cut 4-5 lines into my property, yes the wife's hairstyling salon in their garage is a goddamn nuisance, but I thought I would play nice despite that. The husband and myself have chatted a few times recently, we got back on the right foot I guess you can say. That was until the day I drove by his house and waived to him out of my car window. This motherfucker gave me a uber fast hand waive as to signify he was saying "Whatever motherfucker, beat it!" I figured maybe he was having a bad day, I wasn't getting mad yet. Later on that day I went to run some errands, came back and waived at him once again to see what he would do. This jackass did the exact same thing, only this time with more of a disgusted attitude. "That motherfucker is lucky that I don't go over there and beat him over the head with his daughters wagon!" I thought, fuming at the disrespect. The next week or so was spent feeling disrespected in the worst way, thinking spiteful shit like the 32 year old baby that I am. The other day when he approached me I gave him a "What in the fuck do you want" look on my face. I was pretty embarrassed when he said, "Sorry that I was quick with you the other day, I was in a argument with my hateful, bitter ass mother-in-law. My fault man." In a supreme act of hypocrisy, I shook his hand and said, "Man, I didn't even notice. It's OK." I am shameful.
Childhood Bully: When I was a kid, maybe 6 or 7, there was a kid that tormented me named Tyrone. He must have been 15 or so at the time, and he was extremely cruel to me, smacking me in the face and making my life a complete nightmare. Come to think about it, I honestly feel that Tyrone was the last person who I was physically afraid of. As time moved on he moved out of my neighborhood, and by the time I learned how to fight back Tyrone's whereabouts were unknown. But I have always remembered how he made me feel, and I had like a "Kung-fu movie" vow to beat his natural black ass if we ever crossed paths again. Well, we crossed paths a few months ago. I have a friend who is a real estate agent who invited me to a party she was throwing with some other people in her field.(Let me tell you, real estate agents really know how to party) Anyway, one of the guys she works with is named Tyrone who turns out to be a really nice guy. As we are chatting it up, and we figure out that we lived in the same neighborhood at the same time, I finally realize that this is the motherfucker who beat my ass as a kid. This was the imbecile who I had been thinking about all my life, the guy that I have been on a sort of a David Carradine "Kung-fu-walking the earth" type of quest trying to find. When I asked him if he remembered me, he didn't. I pressed him if he remembered bullying me, again he had no recollection. I so wanted him to be an asshole so I could lay his ass out, lay his ass out for the adult I am who has anger issues and just wanted to hit an asshole, and hit him for that scared 7 year old who was terrified on a daily basis because of his bullying tactics. But the guy was so nice and kind, my pugilistic fantasies would not see the light of day. I secretly hope I see him again and he says some slick shit, but that's just me. I know, "Just let it go man", I agree.
A Tale of 2 Blog Trolls: I was telling Brother Omi the other day that the thing I hate about the Internet is the anonymity, not being about to kick someone in the mouth when they say some dumb shit to you is rather frustrating. The first blog troll has been drinking 40 0z's of "Haterade" from day one, telling people not to comment on my blog,(some actually did stop by the way), telling other bloggers that I know some foul shit about yours truly, a whole bunch of shit. The only reason that I didn't call this bastard out was because I never had any concrete evidence, so if I called him out he could just throw up his arms and say, "Huh? What are you talking about?", then I look like the asshole. I know that it is only the Internet, and I should have really let this one go, but I actually considered the following devious plot: Plot: Befriend said troll for X amount of time./ Get them to thinking that you are buddies and all, make it seem real./ Try to get them to attend one of the "blogger meet-ups"/ Go to said meet up, and, Beat-the-black-off-his ass/end of plot/ I know, it seems childish, that's why I didn't go through with it.
Let me tell you, I thank all of you who voted for me last month, I sincerly appreciate it. That being said, I'm not rich from it or think highly of myself, but the hate I have gotten the last month is amazing let me tell you. The next Troll was a person who had issues with my commenting practices, she tried to convey that I only commented on people's blogs just to garner votes for the blackweblogawards. I didn't really understand that misguided ideology because even if that were the case, the person in question would still have to like what they read in order to vote, fucking dumbass. So the other day I went to the blogroll of the blackweblogawards and she was one of the nominees, so her "hatred" was indeed orchestrated and a bit of sour grapes I guess. I was going to call her ass out, but then I didn't want to give her blog any publicity(Who wants to read about vagina rashes anyway?) But who knows, I might try to befriend her and invite her to a meet-up, I am sure my girl Suzy would be willing to knock her ass out. I'm kidding, I'm kidding!! I know I need to let shit go, geez!! I would just let Suzy tap that jaw a bit, not knock her out, then I would pour beer on her. But that's it, I promise! I know, "Just let it go man", I know.

I am so mad that grown folks are not only hating on your blog...but are on some 3rd grade "don't be his friend" type of level. Whatever man...keep it up. I bet you, whoever it is...still reads your blog daily.
I am glad to hear that you are talking through your anger issues rather than simply acting out on them (from the sage advice of your therapist). I would encourage you to continue along this path of letting things go. Since when we do not, we allow others to control our actions, behaviors, and emotions. I know it's cliched, but it still has a grain of truth.
BTW, I am not feeling either one of those bloggers and a few others because of their juvenile attempts at displaying their "3rd grade" antics. Anyway, thanks for letting those of us who aren't official bloggers comment.

It took me a really long time to learn how to let certain things go, and I still struggle with it from time to time. But, in hindsight, I can see that I could have avoided a lot of unneeded stress, and stress caused to others, if I had simply kept my mouth shut once in a while. I used to run my mouth to my sister every time I would hear her say something out of line to my mother, and instead of my mother being greatful for the "back-up", she would get angry because things would blow up into a huge argument between me and my sister, sometimes turning light-weight physical. So, now, I do my best to bite my tongue and let my mom do the mothering, but there are still times I have to speak up and put my sister in check just so she does not think I have gotten soft in my old age...lol
And HC, you can go ahead and quit having naughty fantasies about me and my sister cat fighting right now! LOL
- msjaim said...
My ode to assholes on the net is "F@UCK EM"!!!
oH & IF i WERE U i WOULD HAVE SUZY WHOOP DAT TRICK..LMBAO!
It really amazes me how ppl realy have no business.. when it gets to the point where u have to start harrassing ppl out of jelousy on the net & even worse via blog.. just go shoot urself.. Happy friday all!
- Luke Cage said...
Try to get them to attend one of the "blogger meet-ups"/ Go to said meet up, and, Beat-the-black-off-his ass/end of plot
- That's cold dude.. but even maaad funnier if you pulled that shit off.
- aplomb said...
...Im just glad that you didn't let those haters stop you...I need these dam laughs on a daily basis...lol
- piranha said...
haha, suzi, suzi, you got my love.....
well, those 3rd grade practicers just, amuse me...i guess they are just poor little fellas who have no real life except for the net. and, yheah, you gotta sort of protect your um. whatever, i mean, whatever...lol
Old boy came back to my blog and responded to my irnoical answer to his spamming and actually thought he could write sweet bullshit, as if we were buddies, damn. i was making fun of him, damn, he didn't get it. and hell, if you need to make such a fuzz, have a damn blog or whatever people can refer to, to see who you are! whats the fucking sense of it otherwise?
well....honestly, HC, i think you didn't only comment on other blogs to promote the blackblogawardthing, but to promote your blog in general. thats how you got me, your first comment on my other blog was surely one that was just there to catch me...(you know that kind of 'wow thats a cool blog' shit, where you actually don't refer at all to the post and stuff..))...:) - and you got me, and i am happy about it, otherwise i wouldn't drop my comments here, right?
and it doesn't mean you don't read blogs at all or aren't interested at all, because i ve seen other comments of you in the mean time....
and what in the fuck is wrong with promoting anyways?
thats all full of hypocrisy....
so let it go now and enjoy yourself.
- VAN007 said...
Ummm.... although I am often heard telling people "let it go" and "It's not that serious" there are some things that I just can't let go, especially if it involves someone cutting me off in traffic... ha! I have severe road rage because cutting me off "is that serious".
- Amadeo said...
Things that help me let go:
Constantly reminding myself that - 90% (at least) of people are stupid and I can't really beat sense into them.
Assault Charges make life hard.
I'm cool Muhfucka regardless.
- Joanne said...
LMAO at you HC!
Man, you should have beat Tyrone's ass! Just on GP. But more than anything, you should have beat Flanders's ass. How dare he wave like that?! F-ing punk!
As for the blog trolls... we can meet out at the blogpole after work and beat their asses together! I'll take the girl you got Troll #1.
Seriously, though HC, just let it go man... such hostility! LOL
- ghettolou said...
Hey HC,
I have to co-sign on that blog troll portion.I get e-mails and comments all the time from people that seem to make it their agenda to f up my day.I will co-host that blogger party and help whoop the females if you whoop the men..we'll split the kids..let's call it a "meet and beat".
We WINNERS have to stick together.
I have to add that I am personally offended by the statement you said about vagina rashes..not because I'm a woman but because I myself have a rash and it's not funny...lolol
This blog is fun.
- Holiday N said...
I have no idea why my name just came up as ghettolou on your comments(was I just renamed by blogger?)and why I gotta be ghetto?
- DJ Ho said...
HC - love that post man. Just wondering, what do you do for a living and can you post about it? You've covered every single topic out there, but you never seem to talk about your job or any work related incidents. I'm sure you can come up with something hilarious/violent/enjoyable to read.
DJ Ho.
- kathi said...
It sounds like you're just being envied. Not to worry. It's sad, but some people just want you as miserable as they are.
I'm truly crazy about you, HC. You make me laugh, and some days I really need those laughs.
I love how your mind works, the intelligent humor that comes so naturally to you.
You're a big part of many people's life here. I hope you understand how much you're cared for.
And, I'm proud of you for not kicking Tyrone's ass.
- feels good b n FREE said...
yeah...the hatred for you is crazy...
and indeed it has rubbed off all up on my page.
it's kool tho, i considered not commenting on here n e more, but i'm not beat.If I got sumthin to say...i'ma speak. :)
plus all his spam makes me look like my readership is madddd up! (lol)a sista got 34 comments. :)
this dude has got to be troll #3
- Girl With An Alibi said...
Sounds like you are doing a great job of letting it go. I mean you didn't hit any of those people. So it's a step in the right direction.
BTW: I don't comment often on your blog but I did vote for you... BEFORE you commented on my blog, I might add. I love your writing and you are so deep in talent you deserve every award you got and then some. Keep it up!
- ESP said...
I always feel odd commenting here, insofar as there are invariably 20 comments already here.
But nice pic of Flanders. (No, I will not interpolate "diddly".)
- Kelly said...
Fuck letting it go. Sometimes, you need to beat the shit out of someone just to be able to let it go!
- LadyLee said...
Haters are like cockroaches... Wish there was a special spray for them, too...
- Pinkaboo said...
Hey there! It's been a while and I decided to check in...boy, am I glad I did! You know you had me rollin'. Congratulations... (I'm tryin' to get back on the proverbial "saddle" with my blogging-wish me luck;) )

I got bullied some too when I was a kid. There was this particular ass hole called Lorenzo that especially used to pick on me. He was a year older and skinny, but he was about a foot taller than me. One day, he was messing with me and I called him a low down bastard to his face and he proceeded to give me an extra special in front of all the kids in my school class. I tried to fight back, but he was just too big. Finally, the teacher broke it up. Funny thing, after that day, all the kids started calling him "Lo" like it was a cool nickname or something. He actually seemed to like his nickname and from then on, all the way through high school, he was "Lo". I really hated that son of a bitch! I used to fanaticize so many ways that I wanted to kick his ass, but I never did. He was still always bigger and he hung out with a gang of thugs most of the time. After high school, I didn't hear anything about him for about 10 years. Then I ran into an old acquaintance one day and we got to talking about some of the fools that we went to school with. At some point, I mentioned that I hoped that "Low Down" had died in some gutter. The guy actually had some news about my hated nemesis. Lorenzo had moved to Detroit and become an auto worker. However, he had become fat as hell, weighing in at over 400 pounds, and was living on disability! I laughed hard, realizing that there is some justice in the world, and suddenly, it seemed that years of hatred washed out of me.

I'm glad you are learning to let it go, even when you don't quite want to. A lot of that stuff is really simplistic stuff that does't make a dent in your life. *hugs*
- chele said...
Letting it go ain't always that easy. I know. But you have to do it in order to move forward. Great blog. Keep it up.

At least you speak to your neighbors. All my neighbors and I do is wave hands and never make eye contact.

As a tempestuous person myself... I had to learn how to choose my battles and let some stuff go. Letting go suuuure is hard, but it feels good not to acknowledge the stupidity of others. It's becoming increasingly easy for me, however, because every person who sucks their teeth at me, stares at me out the corners of their eyes, or judges me via the 'net or in person, I regard as my fans.
That always works.
You know how wishy-washy fans can be when you have some measure of celebrity... tee hee.

I am feeling your blog, brotha!

"Letting shit go"...I've had to learn about that, too. About that Internet anonymity thing as well. Especially, lately...I got a book coming out, and some of the "reviews" I've seen have been comical--and, of course, anonymous LOL...so there's not much you can do about it, some peeps like ya stuff, some peeps don't get it...whatever, live and work and learn...
But, yo man, been liking your blog here a lot. Fuck the haters, some people can't deal with the real, and that's what you got going here, real, honest, throrough writing and thinking. Keep up the good work. Be cool...SPB
HC, I can understand you about Tyrone, people don't forget traumatizing experiences of their childhood. That's human. Let me tell you, the first time I've been victim of racism I wasn't even 8. It was a white woman at my school. Over 13 years later, find out she the new neighbor of close friends of mine. I thought I had turned the page but when I saw the bitch I was mad as hell and wanted to beat the shit out of her! But I had to let things go, but I know I'll never forget.
Letting things go or forgiving doesn't mean you FORGET, it means you choose not to let fuckers affect you anymore. It's hard to do when you know you've been treated unfairly and with disrespect and didn't do anything to deserve this. But I've learnt that holding grudges affects you more than anyone else. Emotionally and mentally, it's not healthy. I know it's easier said than done though, you constantly have to work on yourself. And I believe in karma.
question- what is it in you that makes other men want to beat the sh*t out of you? Is there something that you're doing that makes people think that you're a punk? I ask this because most men I know don't pick fights with swole n*ggas- or even smaller ones-just the ones they think can't handle their own.
yeah... I'll transform myself into one of those "vaginas" that post anonymously (lest I'm accused of commenting provocatively to drive traffic to my blog!) and yes I can say n*gga as I am of that persuasion... and no this is not hating- just asking is all.
- The Humanity Critic said...
"question- what is it in you that makes other men want to beat the sh*t out of you?"
I guess it is a weird fetish to get their ass beat I guess. You would have to ask them.
"Is there something that you're doing that makes people think that you're a punk?"
Like posting anonymously? But really, another question I can't really answer. I guess you can tell me face to face if you ever decide to come out of anonymous and we attend a "blogger meet-up" together.
"I ask this because most men I know don't pick fights with swole n*ggas- or even smaller ones-just the ones they think can't handle their own."
Well that is the men that "you know". Drag queens aside, I usually don't pick fights, I just respond to bullshit spewed in my direction.
"yeah... I'll transform myself into one of those "vaginas" that post anonymously (lest I'm accused of commenting provocatively to drive traffic to my blog!)"
So you are admitting that you indeed have a blog but are only bitching because doing so anonymously is "less pussy"? What kind of limp-wristed shit is that. Plus, I never understand the argument "but you are commenting to drive traffic to youe blog!!", so fucking what? At the end of the day people's blog that you comment on still have to like what they read when they come back to yours. It's all about having a good product my friend, don't be mad that people come back to your blog and feel like many of my lovers, unsatisfied.
"and yes I can say n*gga as I am of that persuasion..."
To even point that out is just dumb.
"and no this is not hating- just asking is all."
Asking me if there was something about me that makes people think I'm a punk was passive aggressive disrespect, don't be like "I'm not hating".
Couldn't "Let it go", could you?
- The Humanity Critic said...
@ anon: I guess not..LOL
- Kathryn said...
Sometimes "letting it go" just ain't the answer, lol. Sometimes I know how to....most times it is like a gnat that is buzzing around me all the time.
I faithfully read your blogs daily. I think its the funniest shit in the world. Even get a sidetracked when you don't post. I am going to risk getting shot at when I post my comment.... but I can't wait till all these interesting stories are a part of your past. Stress is huge threat to African Americans. You are more than just entertaining. Take care of yourself.

i got letting go issues too. there is this prefect who f'ed with me when i was just starting high school and i've wanted to beat him down something serious for the longest. even though he's now supremely gay I still want to kick his ass for picking on me when he was trying to be the man an picking on me when he was like 17 and i was like 12, i've had dreams of kicking his ass. oh man you dont know ..or maybe you do. oh man this post brought back those kicking ass thoughts damn!
- Theresa said...
And I have the opposite problem, I let TOO much go which is just as problematic. I'm just a ticking bomb! :-)
- Toya said...
man....lol...you got some problems....i'm trying to think...i think either you came to my blog a few times before i actually checked yours out, or maybe i came across your blog then commented then you came by mine...but that was almost a year ago i think...but anyways, i read ya blogs sometimes, and comment sometimes...sometimes their interesting to me, sometimes they're not, or they seem kinda long (but i can't talk cuz mine are too, especially my second to last one, i talk too much) but i like your blog, it's funny something different every time...but yea you need to let some stuff wrong..lol some of these scenarios look seem like something that couldve been on Dave Chappells' "when keeping it real goes wrong"...but you decided to let it go, which is good...as for grown folks hating..that's ridiculous...you would think folks would let that ish go after h.s, but you'd be surprised....my mama works at a factory, and she's 42, now there's women older than her, int heir late 40's and early 50's that be talking about her...like my mama is really nice, and she's friendly, speaks to everyone, and she's very pretty, but they just dont like her, so they sit up and talk about her, give her a hard time...she be wanting to cuss them out or something, but she refuses to stoop to their level...but i'm like "dang mama why are these ladies like 50 years old doing that?" hating at 50? that's a dang on shame...it's sad...heck i wanna know who them trolls are! *nosey* but yea, i think like the person above me said that commented, i let alot of stuff go too..and it builds up...i'm too nice sometimes and let stuff just ride...but i be wanting someone to say the wrong thing so i can relase alt hat anger on them...but i just hold it in...anyways, i starting to think my comment isnt making sense and it's getting too long, so i'ma stop here, :-) keep blogging and Ef them haters!
- Brother OMi said...

Natural disasters and the economic downturn have created new mental health challenges for students in Boulder County and obstacles for service providers who are trying to help students cope.
Janine D'Anniballe, director of emergency and community services for Mental Health Partners, said students in the St. Vrain Valley and Boulder Valley school districts are increasingly struggling with anxiety.
"Unfortunately, youth today experience a lot of stress and distress and that's become the norm in Boulder County," D'Anniballe said. "We have a lot of kids working through mental health issues."
MHP professionals, who currently provide services in middle and high schools throughout BVSD and SVVSD, blame some of the stress on the struggles area families have faced during the recession, the Fourmile Fire in 2010 and the September flood.
Popularity of social media is also increasing peer pressure and harassment for local students creating a "perfect storm of stress," D'Anniballe said.
Boulder County organizations are searching for new ways to help students cope with the added anxiety, especially through programs in the school districts.
Denver-based nonprofit Carson J. Spencer brought its suicide prevention program The FIRE Within to Boulder County in the fall of 2012. The program is in its second year at Monarch High School in Louisville and seeks to raise awareness about area mental health resources and reduce teen suicide.
Jess Stohlmann-Rainey, program director Carson J. Spencer, said youth suicides have increased in Boulder County since 2006, according to data collected by the organization and the county's Youth Risk Behavior Survey Results. The nonprofit began focusing on suicide prevention methods to combat the data, she said.
The FIRE Within program professionals work with a business class at Monarch High once a week that combines entrepreneurship and social change. Students build a business plan around suicide prevention in their community.
One of the classes focused on helping parents talk to students about distress — an issue that student-conducted surveys revealed is contributing to increased suicide and suicidal thoughts, Stohlmann-Rainey said. The class wrote an instructional book with tips on how to talk to teens about difficult issues and sells it in the community.
"It's revenue generating, which stays with the student business, but it also goes toward community needs," Stohlmann-Rainey said. "Then the next year, the class builds on what the students did the year before."
The program is not currently in St. Vrain Valley schools, but one of the district's superintendents Connie Syferd said they are looking into The FIRE Within and other similar options for the future.
A new program will not likely launch this fall, Syferd said, because the district is focused on hiring mental health professionals to provide services to students in middle and high schools. The new hires will replace existing service providers from MHP and are not an expansion of services.

Apigee API Exchange arrives this month as an API exchange platform designed to enable the sharing of data and services through apps.

Initially targeted and made available for the telecommunications industry, this model for API interoperability is hoped to create expanded reach for both operators and developers with "telco-enhanced" mobile app experiences.
Apigee CEO Chet Kapoor says that being able to share services and data through interoperable APIs is crucial to establishing digital ecosystems in any industry.
"This is especially true in industries where competition or regulation has created fragmentation, such as in telecommunications, healthcare, and travel. The API Exchange will let consumers use apps and APIs seamlessly across disparate businesses within an industry, similar to roaming on mobile phones," he said.
"The API Exchange is designed to deliver API federation and simplify the development of apps across any industry where fragmentation is an issue. It provides a flexible solution that allows API providers to use industry standard APIs or their own customized APIs and still interoperate. In an API Exchange-powered ecosystem, application developers can build apps with data that can be consumed by a broad range of users across disparate API providers," he added.
Through the API Exchange, operators expose network APIs such as payment, identity, and messaging, which are federated to provide the cross-operator reach. Developers of apps and web services can integrate these APIs to enrich the functionality and improve the user experience of their apps.
The API Exchange includes APIs for onboarding app and API providers, validation and federation of app usage, metadata management, logging and rating of app usage, and cross-provider billing for financial settlement between providers.

NEW YORK – The off-season for many NCAA Division I athletic teams and athletes includes a variety of duties that can range from extra classes, workouts, individual instruction and internships, but an often overlooked aspect to team building is community service efforts. For the third straight year, the Columbia men's soccer team came together as a complete squad to help raise funds for the Cycle for Survival organization.
Cycle for Survival was founded in 2007 with the goal of raising money for rare cancer research. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a "rare cancer" is one with a prevalence of fewer than 200,000 affected individuals in the United States. Cycle for Survival provides participants an opportunity to help fund research and treatment options through the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The organization donates 100 percent of the funds raised to MSKCC, with the money being allocated to a specific initiative within six months of a given Cycle for Survival event. The benefits have been realized in $31.2 millions dollars raised, funding 53 clinical trials and research studies.
The Columbia men's soccer team has felt a personal connection to Cycle for Survival since participating in its first event three years ago.
"We originally became involved because our ex-assistant coach, Tommy McMenemy, played league soccer with the founder, whose wife passed away from cancer two summers ago, so it felt personal from the beginning," said junior midfielder Steven Daws. "The guys get really into it, and this year we were able to raise $1,364 for leading cancer research at MSKCC."
With continued support from teams like Columbia men's soccer, as well as major corporations that include Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan, Cycle for Survival has went from raising $250,000 in its first year to $13.8 million in the last fiscal year.
The continued growth of the event, in conjunction with the physical requirement, has inspired the men's soccer program to continue its prideful participation. This year's event was held at Equinox: Greybar in Midtown Manhattan on Sunday, March 3.
"Through Cycle, I think the team has found inspiration in fighting for a cause that has touched all our lives in some way," commented Daws, who is responsible for team community service and outreach. "We acknowledge the enormous need for developments in the fight against cancer and the motivation to contribute comes quite naturally. The enthusiasm and energy of the event's organizers and participants is truly remarkable. Cycle has grown so much during our involvement, raising almost $14 million this year and we just feel privileged to have been a small part of it. We are already looking forward to round four."

The University of Colorado Police Department today released a composite sketch of a suspect being sought in connection with an attempted sex assault that occurred late Friday night on the bike path near Broadway and Pleasant Street on the western edge of the Boulder campus.
A female CU student on Saturday reported that she was walking home from a party on University Hill on Friday, when, at sometime between 11:15 and 11:30 p.m. an unidentified man approached her from behind and pushed her to the ground.
The man put a pair of scissors to her throat and began removing her clothes, according to the victim. She then struck him in the face and was able to flee the scene.
The suspect is described as a white man, approximately 50 years old. He is estimated to be 5-foot 6-inches tall, with a scruffy beard and crooked teeth. He was wearing dark-colored athletic shorts and a white T-shirt at the time of the attack, police say.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact Sgt. Michael Lowry at 303-492-8168. Those wishing to remain anonymous should contact Colorado Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS or at crimeshurt.com.

Though water shortage restrictions imposed by the Suwannee River Water Management District (District) have expired, year-round water conservation rules are now in effect.
After a pattern of heavy rainfall this summer, the restrictions were allowed to expire on Sept. 30. The District declared a water shortage order in June to ease drought conditions. Conditions have improved considerably since that time.
"Groundwater levels have recovered to normal or above normal in most areas and river levels have not been this high since 2010," said Megan Wetherington, District senior professional engineer.
In August, the District received an average of more than nine inches of rainfall, with accumulations of up 16 inches in localized areas. On Aug. 26, the Santa Fe River near Fort White experienced minor flooding after it crested at 0.3 feet above flood stage, and the Waccasassa River saw its third highest stage in 10 years. The Ichetucknee River had sustained flows not seen since 2006.
The National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center is predicting a weak to moderate El Niño, which typically means cooler and wetter conditions in the fall and winter.
The water shortage restrictions mostly restricted outdoor watering, particularly lawn and landscape irrigation. Under the order, lawn and landscape irrigation was limited to once per week.
Since the order expired, residents and others fall under mandatory, year-round water conservation rules. The rules limit lawn and landscape irrigation to twice per week for this time of year, and apply to residential landscaping, public or commercial recreation areas, and public and commercial businesses. In addition, watering is prohibited between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Farmers are required to follow conservation measures included in their water use permit.
"Though the District does not feel it is necessary to prolong water restrictions at this time, we ask that all water users conserve water and help us sustain our water resources," said District Executive Director Ann Shortelle.
Information about the year-round landscape irrigation rule is posted on the District's water conservation page.

Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - The Melog - Dylamug - Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina - the Twiggets - King Ahgo - Filmation Grizzlor, Mantenna, Leech, Modulok and Multi-Bot
She was my favorite of the POP characters after Kowl and Catra so I look forward to seeing her.
We're probably going to get the Filmation Mermista, since she's on the map and we've ONLY received Filmation PoP figures so far , so (if that's the case), at the very least I think it would be nice if she had some toy influence (if they're not doing the "polly pocket" pick your preference idea I've been throwing around).
For example, in the Style Guide her scale body looks shimmery/sparkly, so that could be painted metallic like her green tail was (most are silver now for some reason).
It would also be wicked awesome if the gave her a removeable belt in the same style as the toy and 2 necklaces. One teardrop one like Filmation and the fish one her toy has.
I wonder if she will have two heads? Her toy head is VERY different. She was packaged with a Lady Gaga type hairstyle (big knot on the top, left side of her head and one at the bottom right. It's sort of a "crooked pigtails" look).

Mermista's action figure was probably the biggest disappointment for me from the original line. I didn't like how her mermaid's tail looked bulky and 'unmermaidenly'...for lack of a better word. I'm really hoping that the MOTUC version comes with separate detachable legs.
As for all the She-Ra bashing, this is an old, tired story. Get over it boys! She-Ra was/is/always will be a part of MOTU whether you like it or not. Honestly, aren't we all old enough here to get past this 'too girlie' nonsense?!?! I guess this is a perfect example that age does not equal maturity.

I have a feeling they'll do the same thing with her legs as they do with King Hssss. Just give her a seperate fish tail to change out. I can't wait to see her!
The action feature isn't bad on the vintage. What are you expecting for the 80's?? She's a mermaid. She shoots water. It's ok.

Now that Filmation rights are on the table, for Mermista's legs and tail, which direction do you think they'll take with her? Will she have a silver belt around her waist as a mermaid, or will it be a seamless tail that extends to underneath her bust like Filmation?
Will she have the bathing suit cut bottoms and unique cut boots like the action figure, or will she have the seamless pants with the "Aquaman" fins on the back of her lower legs? Which do you prefer? I don't know which one I like better at this point.

I personally don't care. I just want a Mermista figure. Now that we have Queen Marlena, and Sorceress and Shadow Weaver are on the way, Mermista is my absolute most wanted figure.
Though, considering history, I think she'll mimic the style guide.

Starburst She-Ra, Hunga the Harpy, The Twiggets, Stridor, Catras Cat Form, Kay-La, Skeleteen, Mini Comics Garn, Spinwit, FILMation King Miro
Mermista is one of my most wanted POP characters. I personally would like to see her made with a "seamless" tail into the top without the belt. I think without the belt she'll looks more like the tail is a real part of her body and not a costume. For her legs I'd like to see them done in the same color as her tail with no boots but a fin, as if her tail just separates into legs. Whatever way they make her I'll be happy, just make her.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
these are the characters i dread in motu.
i'm a completest & will get her anyway but, mermista seems to much like a mermaid barbie to me it has to much of a little girls toy feel to it. thats how i feel.
The more I think about it, I kinda want the belt to be removable, like Fisto's belt or the belt with Adora & Queen Marlena. That way, those who want the action figure belt look can werq that look, and those who want it to look like the seamless Filmation fish tail can be happy too. If only they'd be wise enough to implement that solution...
So are most people hoping for the Filmation blue legs with the fins on the back of the lower legs?

"I don't like to feel good! I like to feel EVIL!"
You know, I was thinking there are two ways they could get in both legs and tail fairly easy:
1 - Like King Hsss has two tops, she could have two bottoms. However, that doesn't give you a seamless tail like many seem to hope for.
2 - They could make interchangeable outfits like Queen Marlena, with the tail being like the dress, but her legs would fit entirely inside. Personally, I think this option would be best for a couple different reasons; we would get the seamless tail that runs from her chest down, and the tail would have a rubbery texture that might partially allow "articulation" through the enclosed legs. (Plus, I just think it might look nicer.)
"Don't crowd me boys!"
It's true, having a tail "dress" put on will make her look waaaaay too bulky and less slim where her tail should be.
I agree with Kevenn's remark as well. It would be cool to have her belt removeable giving us the two options, Filmation look and toy.
To be honest, filmation and toy mermista weren't really that different, style wise. The only big difference was her shiny mermaid tail.
I really do hope she isn't too far away, but since she is considered one of the more obscure characters, I wouldn't be surprised if she IS farther than we all think.
I made a mock-up of what I would like Mermista to look like in MOTUC. I really suck at recolouring, so I did it really quickly and it erased the details in her shell bra and tail fin. Sorry about that!
Here she is:
Filmation design
Filmation ankle fins
Toy colours
Toy bracelets
Toy belt
Toy boots
Toy alternate head
Added scale detail on body

Here's the thing as I see it - her legs should look like her fin since they're formed from her fin. The Filmation design achieves that through consistency of colour and the back of her legs staying finned (I actually read her as naked from the waist down throughout the She-Ra cartoon, in human as well as mermaid form, and she doesn't have human genitalia since she's a mermaid who only pretends to be human). The toy design... doesn't. It's a woman in boots, which is considerably less interesting - she should be just as inhuman as the likes of Buzz-Off or Clawful, yet beautiful with it.
And yes, that means any scale design they put on the tail should be replicated on her legs and lower torso. [There's actually hints of this in the right-hand styleguide images on pg1 of this thread.]
[PS: Aren't you the one who complains about "dull Filmation colours"? You sure turned the brightness dial down with those colours there ]

Plus, I think the Filmation "body suit" Mermista is very boring looking. I like her becoming human.
About the toy colours: in my opinion, they are much prettier and fit better with her character. Etheria/PoP is all about magical, mystical, beautiful places, people and creatures being taken over by dark, cold machinery and monsters.
The Filmation green on Mermista looks like gross sea weed...and having her hair and body being the same colour of water seems very bland. I had her shell bra and tail fin a lighter colour, but I made them a bit darker to match the bracelets Emiliano drew because they would be too much effort to recolour.

So, basically the ONLY difference we're talking about are her thighs, which - since they'd be the same colour as the lower torso and lower legs and would be tooled at the same time - should be able to be included in the same mould, keeping costs down, yes?
Okay, now you're just makin' stuff up!

Her human legs would be re-used thighs, shins and feet. New pieces: upper boots and bathing suit bottom (3 pieces...5 if they make the fin shoes which aren't a necessity).
The Filmation legs new parts: thighs, shins, boots, feet (7 pieces).
Her Filmation "human" form is all the same colour which is VERY boring and bland, in my opinion and is MUCH more costly to make.But she isn't, and that's something that should be accentuated, albeit without compromising the fact she's meant to be beautiful.
Okay, now you're just makin' stuff up!
I was talking about the Styleguide image. Regardless, I stand by my opinion on loving the Toy colours which look more tropical paradise...where mermaids are from.Her hair and body are, uh, not a million miles away from those colours you so want on Frosta! [The contrast absent on toy-Frosta comes from the dark green, before you pick me up on that - toy-Frosta's trying to contrast pale blue with white! ]
By the way, thanks for posting that image of Filmation "human" Mermista. It looks more like pajamas.
I altered the shell bra, tail fin and bracelets to the original colour I had. Also, I coloured the boots the darker aqua colour. IF they do my human legs idea with the fin "shoes" (or if they add them to the feet), they would look better in that colour. If they just make them boots, they should be entirely the lighter colour.
Also, I would LOVE it if they could give her body a metallic paint job...kind of like how they used the metallic blue paint on Trap-Jaw.
Metallic aqua, like this nail polish.

I would not be surprised to see them use the Shadow Weaver pelvis (obviously with the bat changed). It could be used with the Lower fish tail so that the tail can bend.
Then she could have separate legs (with the attachment made like King Hssss).
A Want List: Starburst She-Ra, Ghost, Mini Comic Tri-Klops, Mini-Comic/Vintage Toy costume Catra, The Enchantress, Kayo, Joya, Lt. Andra, Storm, Twiggets, Melaktha, Sagitar, Spirit, Kothos, Master Sebrian, Weapons Paks, Fuerza T figures, 200X Sorceress, King Miro, Dree-Elle & Uncle Montork.
Filmation Variants: She-Ra, Bow, Mantenna, Leech, Entrapta, Grizzlor, Prince Adam, Glimmer, Adora
I also hope that they put an alternat tail as an accessory in with her. Besides they did the alternate top half for King Hsss and he was able to get his staff as well. So I agree with the thought that perhaps they can re-use Shadow Weave'rs lower half with some tweaking to make it into her tail and still give her a kewl sea inspired weapon.
"My whole life has changed because of this sword!" ~Adora
you know for mermista the 1.0 buck may work best then her bodysuit for both tail and legs would be seamless

Justin Timberlake sings with Michael Jackson on Jackson's new single "Love Never Felt So Good," which debuted Thursday during the first ever iHeartRadio Music Awards.
The recording comes from Jackson's original demo, which was written in 1983. (Johnny Mathis recorded a version of it a year later). "Love Never Felt So Good" is one of eight cuts to appear on Jackson's posthumous album, Xscape, which comes out May 27, according to Rolling Stone.
Executive producer L.A. Reid -- the chairman and CEO of Epic Records -- sifted through four decades' worth of material in the Jackson estate vault, looking for songs with completed vocal tracks. The eight partially done songs were given to a variety of producers to give them a "fresh, contemporary" sound, said Rolling Stone. Those producers included Timbaland, Stargate, Jerome "Jroc" Harmon, John McClain and Rodney Jerkins (who worked on the original version of the title track, "Xscape," with Jackson).
A deluxe edition of the album will also include the original versions of each song.

Prior to sharing my pics, I'd like to share first a bit of a personal story. I've been a Chiefs fan since I was a kid, my dad becoming a fan in '63 when they moved to KC...I was raised with Red & Gold blood, haha.
As with many Chiefs fans, DT became my all time favorite Chief...not only as a result of his obvious talent as an athelete, but for who he was as a human being...his huge heart & compassion towards helping others.
I can honestly state, that although I didn't know DT personally, I felt much love for him as a Chief on field, & for the person he was off field. I never visited DT's modest home in suburban KC, but he visited mine weekly. I knew him, though he didn't know me.
When DT tragically lost his life, at some point amidst my tears, shock, & sadness...it occurred to me that someday DT would be inducted into the NFL HOF. I considered the thought of DT's future Induction, from that point forward as being his final big play in the NFL. I made myself a promise, that come hell or high water I would be there personally to witness DT's Induction Ceremony. I saw my presence there being my way of honoring and thanking DT for all he gave from his body, heart & soul as a Chief to his team and fans, as well as his contributions to the Kansas City community.
I miss Derrick, and to this day still find myself at times looking for the #58 on the field of play. Derrick is on God's Pro-Bowl team now, and no doubt is smiling down upon Arrowhead each & every game day. :)

There are two sides to every story. Everyone heard Equine Angels Rescue's side, with all the badmouthing of my family on Facebook, making us look like bad people. We put up with it because we knew the truth: We love and care for our animals. Now it's time for our side of the story.
On Feb. 8, authorities including a humane officer, Equine Angels Rescue (EAR), and a veterinarian came with a search warrant wanting to look at our horses and miniature horses. My sister explained that the horses were only recently purchased and their appearance had nothing to do with us neglecting our animals. They were gaining weight.
When proof was offered, they would not listen. They said we were neglecting our animals and took them. The six minis they took were in great condition and were taken to EAR for the veterinarian to check them over, we were told.
We waited patiently for our court date. Someone finally realized we did not neglect our horses and minis. On June 28, we were given permission to bring all of our animals home. We arrived at EAR and found that two of our minis had been sold and they only had our two horses and five minis, one of which was a newborn.
EAR also had gelded our mini stallion without our permission or knowledge. How is this possible?
These animals were unjustly taken. I called the owner of EAR asking how she could sell our property without our consent and she said, "I received paperwork saying they were released to me." There was no paperwork. The owner of Equine Angels Rescue also said, "Enjoy your reunion with the animals, it will be short lived."
When the horses and minis arrived back home, they were all happy to be where they belong, reunited with my parents, my sister and brother, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The happy ending we were all waiting patiently to arrive had finally come.
The question of the day: Why are these rescues happening this way?
By the way, the mini that was born while at Equine Angels Rescue has been named Justice.

Cough Complex is for Dry or wet tickling, hacking, spasmodic, croup-like or smoker's cough. Supporting Combinations: Asthma, Exhaustion, Lymphatic, Respiratory.
The science and art of Homeopathy is a natural approach with medicine which addresses a persons unique pattern of symptoms i.e., headache, stomach problems, low energy, respiratory, colds, flu, allergies, back pain, PMS, etc, etc... No matter what symptoms the individual person may have, they are very important, because it is the organism's method of adapting to the various internal or external stresses of life.
The human body is a remarkable organism that will go to great extremes to protect itself and survive. The various symptoms represent different levels of defense that the body uses in that effort.
Within the Homeopathic approach is a deep respect for the body's wisdom to move toward healing itself. Homeopathy is a method that considers the individuals symptoms and gives natural substance in minute amounts to stimulate the body's own immune and defense system to initiate the healing process while regulating the individual's symptoms.
At this time in our civilization, it is essential to practice methods that strengthen the immune and defense systems of the body. Homeopathic medicine is quite naturally gaining popularity as the medical science of the 21st century because of its safe, effective, and proven process that restores the systems of the body to their natural state of health without side effects. Homeopathy is effective in treating new diseases and symptoms as they impact us in today's environment.
Homeopathy eliminates the ailment while synthetic drugs suppress the symptoms. Long-term suppression of the body's symptoms can evoke other ailments, which require additional pharmaceuticals to balance the side effects caused by the original prescription drugs. You can treat most of your daily common ailments, without side effects, by using NOVA Homeopathic Therapeutic Formulas.
