this one is odd. with the nextion's RX pin connected to the esp8266-01's TX pin the ESP module will not boot up. the Nextion TX pin connected has no effect.
if I unplug only the RX wire, power on, wait for the ESP's blue light to blink and stop, then plug in the RX wire, everything works great.
any idea why this hardware issue exists and how I can work around it? if it matters, I'm using this ESP-01 adaptor board https://www.tindie.com/products/blkbox/esp8266-esp-01-programming-and-development-board/
I am looking into this type of chip as well (specifically the ESP-8285).
From what I have been reading, the ESP can be turned on/off. I guess this would be for being able to power down the radio when not needed to save power. Not too different from turning off the radio in your cell phone.
So, now we want to use this radio as our main MCU, yet would we not have to acknowledge that the ESP is traditionally a wireless chip that is traditionally a slave to another MCU? (I am waiting for my ESPs to arrive, they have been shipped - plug in for iTead's ESP-8285 inserted here).
I don't have a definitive answer, perhaps the Nextion is reporting successful bootup over RX and your ESP is just booting itself. Perhaps the ESP needs to get to full ready mode before powering the Nextion or start the ESP with TX/RX disabled and enable them after a delay once the ESP is fully running.
As I stated, I am still waiting for mine - but certainly interested in what you find out
How have you wired the other GPIOs?
Maybe you are falling into an alternative mode
GPIO 0 and 2 are not connected. eventually I'll use one of them for PJON but right now that's not implemented.
the only thing connected is RX and TX, and unplugging TX makes it boot. I don't see anything relevant on that "pin magic" page. it seems that whatever circuit the nextion has is causing the esp to lock up in the boot process. If I connect that TX pin to a FTDI RX to "listen" I don't see the boot reason or anything.
poked around and find the nextion has a 10K pulldown resistor on RX, which seems odd. shouldn't it be a pullup since serial is active low?
I added a 4.7K pullup and now it boots fine. as I understand it, this may cause problems at higher serial speeds, but should be fine at 9600. am I going to have long term issues with this? should I remove the 10K on the nextion and use a 10K pullup instead?
to clarify, the 4.7K pullup is to 3.3V since the ESP's RX is not level shifted.
I have found http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?t=796 which shows why the pulldown is a problem.
Can someone at itead please explain why there is a 10K pulldown on RX? the more I research the more I think it should not have one.
unless there's some really good reason to have it, I'm going to remove it from mine.
Your 10K pulldown question is best posed to the Engineers. Open a New Support Ticket at the top. I am mostly certain that in their interest of functionality and profitability they didn't merely toss resistors randomly on the PCBs. I could be wrong. Removing it is a good experiment, though I am not certain it would keep your warranty intact. In the interests of Science, please keep us up-to-date as to the outcome.
I am also going to toss this thought out there. There are those that love when they get to heat their soldering irons up, and there is no stopping them when the urge becomes too great. But, I have to admit, in all the posted threads I have read through on this board, no one else seemed to have this difficulty in interfacing their Nextion and showcasing their projects. It is because of that lack of "remove pulldown before use" with all the other successful Nextion projects that leads me to believe that this is not only unnecessary, but probably not wise. Logic would dictate that if the product was unusable with the pulldown in place, there would not be successful projects and it would not be there in the first place as Itead would have had to revise their boards to ensure a working product for continued sales.
However, I may be wrong.
I agree patrick, which is why I'm hesitant. I'm guessing if I used a level shifter on that pin, which isn't technically necessary, I wouldn't have a problem. it's also possible that others are using software serial on other pins and avoiding the issue, but an -01 doesn't have that luxury.
Just a thought about the other project argument: Are there other ESP8266 projects as reference?
And refering to other projects only prooves that the pulldown doesn't harm the functionality. It doesn't proove that it is required tho'.
Not directly Scruff.r,
though Itead does deal with the 8266, and now the 8285.
Nextion Gallery has Pete's second place award winning link to the 1st Annual ESP8266 Design Contest
and Searching 8266 in the search Bar brings up other threads, though I haven't checked them all.
I am not saying there isn't an issue with ESP-01's and Nextion, just I haven't seen anyone else needing to pull resistors to make it work - and I have read too many threads, though not all of them
Pete's is using software serial.

My first blog post in...well, forever. But, for good reason. We're pregnant! With twins!!
For those who have followed my history and prayed and hoped for healing and second chances after my miscarriage, to say this has been an overwhelming answer to prayer and a strikingly clear marker of God's wonder and desire to give us the joys of our heart, far beyond anything we ever even imagined, doesn't even begin to do this experience justice. To come from such a dark, sad, trying place to where we are now, expecting TWO miracles to join our family this summer, well, it has been a remarkable injection of hope and healing that has reached far beyond my tiny nuclear family. I can absolutely say that we would not have survived our first loss without the prayer of so many friends and family from all over the world and we celebrate life together with those who have steadfastly claimed hope and healing for us so diligently over the past year and a half.
Given my challenges during the first trimester last time, thus explains my recent hiatus. I have been working hard to listen to my body and in a simple, but often challenging commitment, have SLOWED DOWN. Everywhere. In everything. My house is a disaster (ahhh....screams...running dust bunnies and horrified OCDers...tears and horror), laundry can wait, and my bed has become my greatest ally in growing these tiny beings, who right now, are blissfully healthy, in the 97th growth percentile, at 14 weeks exactly, today.
I have severely limited my shooting schedule this year, relying on especially flexible, supportive clients for a few special jobs, second shooters and alternative approaches to accomplish what I am able, and only that. I expect my updates may be less frequent, my posts of new photos streamlined and direct and above all, continue to listen to my body and my amazing medical team to do everything absolutely necessary to continue on this path to increasing the size of our family.
I ask for your continued prayers and support and welcome your joy and celebration in God's miracle of restoration and new life. I also ask for your understanding with my limited schedule and availability and hope to reengage in 2012 with new vision and purpose. I will be accepting portrait clients on a very limited basis depending on how I feel as the inquiries arise, and will be declining all future wedding inquiries between now and October 15, 2011. I plan to deliver end July and after some time adjusting, will refocus and consider what the Fall may bring, but know that I will not be capable of managing anything prior to the 15th of October at the earliest.
And for your viewing pleasure...a little snapshot of me taken by my BFF on our way to Target when I finally broke down and admitted my work pants and jeans no longer fit me and I desperately needed some maternity wear!

Not being prompted for Admin credentials anymore
I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, when I first installed the OS and setup my standard user account I would get a pop up credentials box when I attempted to install a program or went to things like "Advanced system settings" now I don't and am not allowed to do anything. I don't even get a prompt, but get denied, when trying to delete some desktop icons.
I don't even receive a prompt when I right click and select "Run as administrator".
Is there a security / system setting that I can change to receive the credentials prompt again?

Christian Support of Torture
I found this staggering.
In the New Testament the word "Witness" is the proper translation of the Greek word for Martyr, specifically someone who suffers for speaking out. In the mythology of the christian bible Christ was martyred on the cross for speaking truth to power & authority. The imagery of Christ nailed to a cross should be a constant reminder to christians of what torture really means. For us atheists we should always keep in mind that bearing witness is the fundamental tenant of what we today call Human Rights.
In the latin Vulgate translation of the bible in John 19.5 Pontius Pilate utters the words "Ecce homo" as he presents the tortured (by the scourge) Christ to the crowd – "Behold the man". Given that this heritage is so deeply embedded into the christian bible I find it utterly stunning that anyone thinking themselves to be christian can in anyway condone even the merest thought of torturing a fellow human being, no matter what their supposed crime(s) might be. Shame on them.
In the west we think ourselves as Human Rights cultures (even though the evidence of our hypocrisy is all to evident – ref 3), so what has gone wrong ? I think Human rights in our liberal cultures has shifted away from witnessing the rights of our fellow individuals to institutionalising human rights into a larger term we call "democracy". By making this shift some very clever people in power have accommodated the concept that individual human beings maybe tortured when it is part of preserving the so called "greater cause" of democracy because that is "the big picture of human rights", it is seductive, especially to the non-thinkers, the mere followers, in society, but it is the road to hell because it is a Lie.
Human Rights (2) start and end with how each one of us bear witness to our fellow individual human beings. When we stop doing this the gateway is opened up for authority to commit whatever evil they wish and justify it as being something for the greater good (defence of the state/democracy/freedom). But the only effective way to achieve a greater good is for that greater good to be made up of many small goods, the good of the individual act of bearing witness.

United Nations Convention Against Torture
Any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.
— Convention Against Torture, Article 1.1
Ban on torture and cruel and degrading treatment
Article 2 of the convention prohibits torture, and requires parties to take effective measures to prevent it in any territory under its jurisdiction. This prohibition is absolute and non-derogable. "No exceptional circumstances whatsoever" may be invoked to justify torture, including war, threat of war, internal political instability, public emergency, terrorist acts, violent crime, or any form of armed conflict. Torture cannot be justified as a means to protect public safety or prevent emergencies. Neither can it be justified by orders from superior officers or public officials. The prohibition on torture applies to all territories under a party's effective jurisdiction, and protects all people under its effective control, regardless of citizenship or how that control is exercised.Since the Conventions entry into force, this absolute prohibition has become accepted as a principle of customary international law.
Because it is often difficult to distinguish between cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and torture, the Committee regards Article 16's prohibition of such treatment as similarly absolute and non-derogable.
The other articles of part I lay out specific obligations intended to implement this absolute prohibition by preventing, investigating and punishing acts of torture.
Ban on Refoulement
Article 3 prohibits parties from returning, extraditing or refouling any person to a state "where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture". The Committee against Torture has held that this danger must be assessed not just for the initial receiving state, but also to states to which the person may be subsequently expelled, returned or extradited.

USA's TSA Workers Getting Cancer While TSA Launches Cover-Up
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents reveal how "large number of (airport) workers have been falling victim to cancer, strokes and heart disease"
Fearful of provoking further public resistance to naked airport body scanners, the TSA has been caught covering up a surge in cases of TSA workers developing cancer as a result of their close proximity to radiation-firing devices, perhaps the most shocking revelation to emerge from the latest FOIA documents obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
American Federation of Government Employees Union representatives in Boston discovered a "cancer cluster" amongst TSA workers linked with radiation from the body scanners. Then the TSA sought to downplay the matter and refused to issue employees with dosimeters to measure levels of exposure, while accusing the union of being "Unpatriotic" – the modern US equivalent of being a heretic.
The documents obtained indicate how, "A large number of workers have been falling victim to cancer, strokes and heart disease." Radiation exposure increase heart attack and stroke risk factors by causing damage to blood vessel walls. The TSA acted just like most government departments, rather than acting on it, or explaining its position seems just dismissed them. Negligent to say the least.
In an email sent to Heather Callahan the deputy federal security director at Boston Logan International Airport, union representatives express their concern about "TSA Boston's growing number of TSA workers that have thus far been diagnosed with cancer."
Personally I have little problem with people who choose to help impose a police state on American citizens by taking jobs with the TSA developing serious illness. What troubles me are the travelling public who are routinely FORCED to be blasted by potentially lethal radiation or face the prospect of being sexually molested while being treated like a criminal..
The documents obtained via the Freedom Of Information Act by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, reveal that the TSA, and specifically the head of the Department of Homeland Security Janet_Napolitano "publicly mischaracterised" (that means that she lied through her evil, amoral teeth) the findings of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NSIT), in stating that NIST and Johns Hopkins school of Medicine had positively confirmed the safety of full body scanners in tests. In citing both NIST and the Johns Hopkins school of medicine to claim that the body scanners are safe, the TSA has also deliberately misled the public on the dangers posed by the devices.
In fact the scanners have NEVER been properly tested in proper trials, the only trials done were on specially set up pre-production machines by the machine makers themselves who did not allow independent verification of the results. President Obama's Science Advisor, several University of California professors also complained of how, "There is still no rigorous, hard, data for the safety of x-ray airport passenger scanners." The scientists noted how the safety tests for the scanners were carried out exclusively by manufacturers, and recommended an immediate moratorium on use of the devices until the health risks can be independently studied. The Department of Homeland Security then classified all information regarding tests in the name of "national security". Documents obtained by EPIC show that, far from affirming their safety, NIST warned that airport screeners should avoid standing next to full body scanners in order to keep exposure to harmful radiation "as low as reasonably achievable."
It gets better because a Johns Hopkins study actually revealed that radiation zones around body scanners could exceed the "General Public Dose Limit," contradicting repeated claims by the TSA that Johns Hopkins had validated the safety of the devices. Can anyone pronounce "Liars" ?
In 2010 a study by Dr David Brenner, head of Columbia University's center for radiological research, found that the body scanners are likely to lead to an increase in a common type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma, which affects the head and neck. Never have so many millions of people been exposed to radiation millions of people without proper oversight or study, a point raised in February 2010 by the influential Inter-Agency Committee on Radiation Safety. They warned in a report that the scanners increase the risk of cancer and birth defects and should not be used on pregnant women or children – better to sexually molest them with "pat downs". Pregnant women and children should not be subject to scanning, according to the report, adding that governments should consider "other techniques to achieve the same end without the use of ionizing radiation. Children and passengers with gene mutations – around one in 20 of the population – are more at risk as they are less able to repair X-ray damage to their DNA. The Committee pointed to the IAEA's 1996 Basic Safety Standards agreement, drafted over three decades ago and to which the USA is a signatory, that protects people from radiation. Frequent exposure to low doses of radiation can lead to cancer and birth defects, even the very flawed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency concedes this fact. Dr Brenner said recently "If there are increases in cancers as a result of irradiation of children, they would most likely appear some decades in the future. It would be prudent not to scan the head and neck,' he added. He recently aired his concerns to the Congressional Biomedical Caucus in the US – members of Congress who meet to exchange ideas on medical research. Dr Brenner urged them to look at his concerns but said it was important to balance any health issues against passengers' safety when flying, but it looks like the motion is going to be slow played due to pressure from the US Federal Government.
Michael Chertoff, former head of the TSA and the man responsible for bringing in the scanners into US airports is now heading the company that is selling the full body scanners to the government. Conflict of interest, corruption, lies, deception and total disregard for human health, it is what the US Government is all about. The most likely risk from the airport scanners is a common type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma, a rise in those will signal a rise in other cancers as well.
Mean while here in The European Union, MEPs accept that body scanners would enhance aviation security, but ask Member States "to deploy technology which is the least harmful for human health" and addresses privacy concerns. Due to health risks "scanners using ionising radiation should be prohibited in the EU".

The Accurate Source To Find Transcript To Bernie Sanders Destroys Trump At The People's Summit."
[Bernie Sanders Destroys Trump At The People's Summit]
[Bernard Sanders:] Source: LYBIO.net
Today in the White House we have perhaps the worst and most dangerous President in the history of our country. And we also have, not to be forgotten, extreme right-wing leadership in the US House and the US Senate.
Now what I find particularly disgraceful about Trump is not just his reactionary economic, environmental and social policies, or the fact that he lies all the time.
What I find beyond belief is his incredible hypocrisy.
This is a man who ran for president telling the people of this country that he was going to stand up for the working class.
That he was going to stand up to the political and economic establishment.
And then then once he got elected and without a second's hesitation, he brings more billionaires into his administration than any president in history and he hires the former President of Goldman Sachs to be his Chief Economic Adviser.
And then – then four months within his Administration, he pushes some of the most destructive pieces of legislation in the modern history of our country; legislation that will cause intense suffering and pain for millions of working class families.
Mr. Trump: Do not tell us that you are a friend of the working class when you propose to throw 23 million Americans off of healthcare.
Don't tell us that you care about working families when you want to cut Medicaid by over 800 billion dollars when you want to raise premiums for older workers in a very dramatic way.
And when you tell, Mr. Trump, 200 million women in this country that they no longer have the option to of getting their healthcare at Planned Parenthood.
President Trump spare us the lies and the hypocrisy.
[Bernard Sanders:] Source: LYBIO.net
Don't tell us that you are a friend of working families when you propose devastating cuts to head-start childcare, public education; when you make it harder for working class kids to get a college education because of massive cuts in the Pell Grant Program.
Don't tell us that you support workers when you propose massive cuts in nutrition programs including the WIC Program (The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children), designed for low income pregnant women and their newborn babies.
Meanwhile, at the exact same time and within the exact same legislation; as Trump makes massive cuts, the life and death programs for millions and millions of children, working people, the elderly, the sick and the poor, at the same exact time, he proposes a budget, that over a ten year period would provide 3 trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top 1%.
Trump's budget is the most massive transfer of wealth from working people to the billionaire class that we have ever seen in this country.
Bernie Sanders Destroys Trump At The People's Summit. Today in the White House we have perhaps the worst and most dangerous President in the history of our country. Complete Full Transcript, Dialogue, Remarks, Saying, Quotes, Words And Text.

Canon Digital Rebel XTi Review
Canon Digital Rebel XTi Review
Canon's Digital Camera technology never fails to amaze me and the Canon Digital Rebel XTi Camera is no exception, offering an array of features designed to deliver optimal performance in a compact body and with advanced controls for optimum performance and improved simplicity for the digital user, it makes a great Christmas Gift for the Photographer. In addition, it is one of the top cameras for instagram artists as well.
If your a serious minded photographer, perhaps moving from semi pro to professional, or you just demand a top quality digital SLR camera, this is a great digital camera to get your hands on.
We asked Gary B. if he would let us have a review of the Canon Digital Rebel XTi to provide our visitors with more detail of this great camera. This is what he and his review panel came up with.
Everything You Need To Know About The Canon Digital Rebel XTi D-SLR! by Gary B
As soon as we got our hands on it we were amazed at Canons improvements. Our Canon review panel have tested every function, every mode and evey setting of the Canon Digital Rebel XTi in the hope that we could provide you with a balanced and objective review, yet to our frustration all we came up with is that the Digital Rebel XTi is a very similar but much better quality camera than the Digital Rebel XT. Although despite its modest dimensions, Canon has stuck with the traditional Compact Flash memory card format for the XTi model.
Responsive and Reliable
The EOS Digital Rebel XTi has a brilliant 2.5-inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels. Also used in Canon's Professional EOS SLRs, this screen displays more than images. Shooting information and playback are both displayed on the LCD, so that the photographer can see all of the shooting information simultaneously on one screen. Not only can images be viewed larger than on the Digital Rebel XT, they can be viewed at a greater angle (160 degrees) than many other conventional LCD monitors.
Display Off Sensor
When composing images, the Digital Rebel XTi's external display turns off automatically thanks to the newly developed Display Off Sensor. This new sensor detects the photographer's face against the back panel of the camera, and turns the screen off to prevent the LCD monitor's brightness from disturbing the photographer's eye while looking through the viewfinder.
Speedy Operation
EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 USM Standard Zoom Lens.With a startup time of 0.2 seconds, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi is ready to go the instant it's brought to the eye. And the Digital Rebel XTi's shutter can record images as fast as 1/4000 seconds and as long as 30 seconds, plus bulb at up to 3 frames per second (fps) for 27 consecutive shots. It synchronizes with Canon Speedlites at 1/200 second.
This kit includes a standard zoom exclusively for the EOS Digital Rebel and EOS 20D SLR cameras, with APS-C size image circle equivalent to an approximately 28-90mm focal length. The lens is compact and ultra-lightweight with impressive close-focusing ability of 0.9 feet (0.28 meters). It features optimized coating for digital imaging sensor to minimize ghost images and flare.
In addition, the XTi is Canons first digital SLR to feature the new self cleaning sensor, that automatically keeps the XTi sensor dust & dirt free! This is a fantastic feature of a top range digital SLR! Reference frames can also be tagged to individual images for the automatic removal of more annoying dirt & dust particles using software which comes supplied with the camera package. Certainly a digital SLR model to consider!
Review/Comments: Gary B's report on the Canon Digital Rebel XTi contains some interesting comments on the revolutionary features of this digital SLR camera, some of which you would only find in the Canon's Professional EOS SLRs, at more than five times the cost of the XTi.
Such as the brilliant 2.5-inch LCD monitor, showing shooting information and playback at the same time while viewing the image. The LCD monitor in the XTi, is the same as in the Canon Professional EOS.
The Display Off Sensor of the Digital Rebel XTi's external display detects the photographer's face against the back panel of the camera and turns the screen off automatically when the camera is lifted to the eye
Speedy Operation, with a start-up time of 0.2 seconds, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi is ready to go the instant it's brought to the eye. With shutter speeds from 1/4000 seconds to 30 seconds and up to 3 frames per second (fps) for 27 consecutive shots.
The new self cleaning sensor, the XTi is Canons first digital SLR to feature the new self cleaning sensor. This automatically keeps the XTi sensor dust and dirt free. This is a fantastic feature usually only found on a top range digital SLR!
I can tell you one thing, I wouldn't part with my Digital Rebel XTi, not unless you offered me one of the new top of the range Canon Professional EOS SLRs for free, then I would still want to keep my Digital Rebel XTi as a back up, and that's the truth!
This is one of the best cameras I have ever used and is more than capable of handling light professional work, making it a good camera choice for the serious minded photographer as a start up to shooting professional images. A great Camera Gift Idea, or Christmas Gift for a Photographer.

(Warning: Sentimental thoughts and a little sap ahead.)
Today, the Husband turns 25.
A whole quarter of a century old.
I know that I am the writer of this blog, but it likely wouldn't exist without this man. In fact, without this man, I would not be living in this house, own this dog, have these dreams, or face the future with such wide open, happy eyes.
Without this man, I would not be the woman I have become over the past few years.
That's not to say that I wouldn't have found such contented happiness on my own. I likely would have. It would have involved a tiny, messy apartment, a little more expendable money, a larger wardrobe, shoes, a lot of reading, and a little more adventurous cooking.
A little different.
I am grateful for this man and every one of his 25 years, but most of all for the 3 he's spent with me. He's my warm hug on a cold, hard day. He's my mirror when I need one, my muscle when my own fail. He's my financial advisor, my guidance councillor, my therapist, my carpenter, my plumber, my electrician, my masseuse, my dog walker, my spiritual advisor, my mentor, my mentee, my driver, my handyman.
And, most importantly, my love, my best friend.
Happy birthday, Husband!
(Come back tomorrow for a sap-less post about closets!)

Mitchell Memorial Forest Short Loop is a 3.3 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Cleves, Ohio that offers the chance to see wildlife and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from April until September.
mountain biking
nature trips
trail running
no dogs
Great park to walk
Trail was very good but there is a fee before you can get to the trail. 4 dollars for residents of Hamilton county and 5 dollars for non-residents
I hiked the Wood Duck Trail in Mitchell Memorial Forest on 10/11/2016. There is a small creek and pond that you pass by as you hike the trail. The leave were starting to turn when I was there. It's a nice trail.
A short video of my hike can be found on my Youtube channel at the link below:
Wood Duck Trail is the 1.1 mile hiking trail just before the larger biking trail. It's wide and well paved with just one gradual hill. There's a small pond, creek and you can often see deer and turkey. Great for the family.
Great for trail running. Will definitely go back.
Great trail for westsiders and others. Check previous weather because trail is under forest canopy and thus hold water for several days longer than other cinci trails. I recommend for experienced riders and casual riders alike.
Good for hiking too! Just listen for oncoming bikers... :)
Mitchell is great. Easy to navigate, clean and safe. Enough rolling hills to keep things interesting, but not overly strenuous. Perfect for an after work ride or run. Wildlife is active. A gem on cincy's west side for sure. The 8 miles is good for a moderate run, or double up and go long. All single track and rarely overly crowded. Enjoy!
The trail is actually 8 miles now with a fast looping "A" trail and slightly more technical "B" trail that lengthens the entire loop to 8 miles. Fun, fast trails. There is a 3 dollar daily fee or an annual fee that is the better way to go.

Damian Joseph Pyle was born still on November 19, 2007 due to what doctors and geneticists believe was a rare genetic condition called Trisomy 13. Trisomy 13 is basically an extra x attached to chromosome 13 that occurs as a random event during conception. It can result in many physical and internal deformities. In DJ's case, there were some mild physical exterior deformities but what overall ceased his life was his heart. Doctors did not detect anything wrong during the pregnancy except for the fact that I was not gaining as much weight as I should have. No one expected there to be any problems though. Everything looked normal and healthy until the very end. Damian is now with the Lord and will forever be in our hearts. I thought of you and closed my eyes and prayed to God today. I asked what makes a Mother and I know I heard him say. A mother had a baby, this we know is true. But, God, can you be a Mother when your baby's not with you? Yes you can He replied with confidence in His voice. I give many women babies. When they leave is not their choice. Some I send for a lifetime and others for a day. And some I send to feel your womb but there's no need to stay. I just don't understand this, God. I want my baby here. God took a breath and cleared His throat and then I saw a tear. I wish that I could show you what your child is doing today. If you could see your child smile with other children and she would say: "I miss my Mommy oh so much but I visit her each day. When she goes to sleep at night on her pillow's where I lay. I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear. "Mommy, don't be sad today. I'm your baby and I am here." So you see my dear sweet one, your child is okay. Your baby is here in my home. She'll be at the gates to meet you one day. So now you see what makes a Mother. It's the feeling in your heart. It's the love you had so much of, right from the very start. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15
God saw her getting tired, a cure was not to be. So he wrapped her in his loving arms and whispered come with me. She suffered much in silence, her spirit did not bend She faced her pain with courage, until the very end She tried too hard to stay with us, her fight was all in vain God took her to his loving home, and freed her from all the pain. AUTHOR UNKNOWN
It's cold in here fells like everything's upside down I can feel you talking but I can barely make out the sound I been kicking around these parts feels like a year I'm gonna change this world if I ever get out of here She wants to dress me in pink paint's my bedroom blue And I just laugh to myself cause only I know the truth This love is my only emotion Haven't learned any fear any pain It's kind of funny with all this commotion guess they've got me to blame And they don't even know my name And they don't even know my name Well I've never felt so ready think it's finally time Cause that big old world is waiting and it's mine all mine Just then everything got real quiet it got real bright And a man took my hand said "don't worry" mama's gonna be alright Then he opened the gate And I followed him in Said "you can wait right here till it's your turn again" And his love is the one true emotion Heaven knows no fear no pain I never got to set my wheels in motion But they loved me just the same And they didn't even know my name Didn't even know my name You loved me just the same And you didn't even know my name George Canyon
Author Unknown Don't tell me that you understand. Don't tell me that you know. Don't tell me that I will survive, How I will surely grow. Don't come at me with answers That can only come from me. Don't tell me how my grief will pass, That I will soon be free. Accept me in my ups and downs. I need someone to share. Just hold my hand and let me cry And say, "My friend, I care."

I purchased all the items and did not receive all the medals. Waist of time and effort.
Thank you, make sure you have not lost internet connection.
A nice challenge. Got all medals.
There is a lot of this games out there, even to is addicting, I suggest to change the music for something more peaceful, music gets annoying after 5 minutes.
You get a plus for the graphics, they look clean and it's a friendly interface.
Suggestion : Place levels, High score, or any other challenge to the game if you want it to be played a lot.

Despite what a first time visitor to Les Pates et Les Nouilles may suspect, this is not a French restaurant. This easy-to-miss restaurant tucked away in the heart of Cazenovia is actually a Thai fusion restaurant. This inevitably leads to the question "Why would a Thai restaurant have a French name?"
Our waitress explained that the family that opened the restaurant originally emigrated from Thailand to France. After living there for a couple years they moved to Syracuse but retained an appreciation for French cooking. After opening their first restaurant, Erawan, on Erie Boulevard in Syracuse, they gave their next restaurant in Cazenovia a distinctly French name and some Thai/French inspired dishes.
Upon entering Les Pates et Les Nouilles -- the names means "Pasta and Noodles" by the way -- we found the restaurant empty save for a few diners and a single friendly waitress who made us feel right at home.
After being seated we ordered a mango juice ($1.99) and a Thai coffee ($2.99) to drink. We started our meal with a fried spring roll ($1.49) filled with ground pork, cellophane noodles, cabbage, peppers, and onions and a vegetarian fried spring roll ($1.49) that simply omitted the pork. Both were nicely crisp with tasty fillings (if a little greasy.)
Next came the Gallette L'Indochine ($4.99) a crepe filled with ground pork, mushrooms, and topped with crispy fried green onions. The crepe, made from rice flour, was surprisingly delicate and contrasted nicely with the rich pork and mushrooms. Other appetizers offered included fresh spring rolls ($1.49) both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, sriracha wings ($5.99), and fried tofu ($3.99).
Deciding to sample a soup, we choose Tom Som ($2.99) with onions, peppers, tomatoes, and pork. The broth was rich, fragrant, and well seasoned with galanga, lime leaf, lemon grass, and cilantro.
Our first entree was Pad Nam Satay ($8.99) a stir-fry of broccoli, cabbage, snow peas, mushrooms, corn, and beef. The stir-fry was seasoned with a sweet earthy peanut sauce that went especially well with the beef. The beef was a little tough while the vegetables where crisp but not undercooked.
Looking for a meatless dish, we choose Yum Hed ($12.99) a medley of mushrooms including white and black wood ears, enokis, champignons, shitakes, and oyster mushrooms. Served with firm tofu, cilantro, tomatoes, and greens, the dish was dressed with a sweet chili sauce and limejuice. The sauce was overly sweet but otherwise well seasoned in that the chili did not overpower the dish. The white wood ear and shiitake mushrooms were especially flavorful because they soaked up much of the sauce.
Finally we sampled the sliced duck breast ($13.99) with peppers, onion, Thai basil, and brown sauce. The duck itself was juicy with crispy skin and well seasoned with the Thai basil.
Many of the entrees at Les Pates et Les Nouilles are stir-fries that come with a choice of sauce and usually also offer a choice of pork, beef, chicken, or tofu. The rest of the restaurant's entrees include classic Southeast Asian dishes like Pad Thai ($9.99) a stir-fried noodle dish with shrimp, pickled radish, and bean sprouts or Larb ($12.99) a ground meat dish with lime juice, fish sauce, and chili peppers.
Nearing the end of the meal we decided to sample both desserts offered on the menu: tapioca pearls with coconut in syrup ($2.99) and sweetened sticky black rice with fresh mango ($4.99). The tapioca in syrup was cloyingly sweet and this intense sweetness negated the flavor of the coconut and everything else. The black rice and mango was far more pleasing, mainly because the sticky rice was sweet as well as savory. The ripe juicy pieces of mango were refreshing and went well with the sticky rice.
Anyone who has eaten at Erawan will definitely see some familiar sauces and dishes at Les Pates et Les Nouilles but this restaurant still has a style all its own.
The restaurant: Les Pates et Les Nouilles, 37 Albany Street, Cazenovia
Credit cards: Yes
Accessible to the disabled: No
Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (lunch) 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (dinner) Monday to Thursday; 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (lunch) 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. (dinner) Friday to Saturday; 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (dinner) Sunday.
The cost: A dinner for three including drinks, dessert, tax, and a 20 percent tip was $84.72 (About $28.24 per person).

Hotels face closure after Easter boomSaturday, April 22, 2017 17:48
About 3,000 hotel staff in Malindi and Watamu are staring at job losses due to the low season, with some facilities shutting down for lack of customers one week after the Easter boom.
Their counterparts in Mombasa are, however, lucky as conference tourism is helping hotels stay in business.
Uncertainty over the approaching General Election is also seeing some hoteliers scale down operations, adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
The Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Educational Institutions, Hospitals and Allied Workers (Kudheiha), Kilifi County branch, said the two coastal towns are bracing for hard times.
Although hotels in Mombasa and Diani towns were busy over the Easter holiday, those in Kilifi County had lower guest numbers. In the 1990s, Malindi and Watamu boomed with business due to large numbers of Italian and German holidaymakers. But business took a nosedive after the 2007 post-election violence and terrorist attacks.
Malindi depends largely on the Italian market since most hotels are owned by investors from that country.
Whereas hotels in Mombasa rely on conferences to remain afloat during low seasons, those in Malindi and Watamu depend largely on tourists.
The Kenya Association of Hotelkeepers and Caterers (KAHC) Kilifi County branch chairman Philip Chai said most hotels in Malindi and Watamu would close down this month due to low business.
He said some could be shut for good as owners have been operating at a loss for years. "Hotels in Malindi and Watamu are shutting down due to lack of guests," Mr Chai said.
He added: "Previously, hotels in Malindi used to close down temporarily during the low season. But this time some will no not reopen."
The KAHC official said the industry in Kilifi County was facing its worst moments, adding that both local and international tourists were hard to come by. He added that tourism in Malindi could recover if Malindi Airport is expanded to handle bigger aircraft.
"International tourists prefer to fly directly from Italy to Malindi, rather than from Europe to Nairobi for eight hours and then connect to Mombasa," he said.
Long drive
"After arriving at Moi International Airport in Mombasa, they then have to travel by road for hours to Malindi.
In a phone interview, Mr Chai said it would be difficult for tourism to recover in Kilifi unless the airport's runway is extended from 1.5km to 2.5km.
The Kudheiha Kilifi County branch head, Mr Michael Yaa, said over 10 hotels in Malindi and Watamu were shut down soon after Easter.
He added that 1,000 of the more than 3,000 workers had already lost their jobs. "Currently, 300 permanent workers have been declared redundant while contracts of the rest have not been renewed," he said.
Kudheiha Coast branch executive officer Sam Ikwaye said that although hotels in Mombasa and Diani were packed to capacity during Easter, most of the bookings were for the Easter period only. "Majority of the guests were local, and they left after the long holiday," he said.

Each country has reacted to the revelation with varying severity. In the United States, riots occurred. Mass lynching. Panic. Chaos. It was a lot like the Salem witch trials... multiplied by 100.
The government stepped in, wrested control via military law. Segregation between humans and supernatural is now a normal everyday expectation. The supernaturals are barcoded and registered for not only the safety of the humans but also for their own.
However, there are supernaturals and humans alike who do not like the status quo and are working to return things to a more equitable basis. They are the Insurgency, and they work in secret.
Many humans like the fact they are on top. Some supernaturals want to regain their superiority. What will you want?

text: I wanted to register the domain Dante.me for a personal website, to host scripts, program downloads, and basically for web dev testing. It is already taken, and is on a GoDaddy landing page, meaning it isn't used. I contacted the guy who owns it based off the who is report, and he asked me what I thought it was worth, he hasn't done a thing with it yet. A me domain on GoDaddy is 10 for a year, but it used to be 20 for a year, It was registered in 2011, and expires on the same date in 2013, so I figure he paid about 40 bucks for it, I offered 60 to 80 dollars for the domain, he is asking $1200 for it, is that ridiculous? Or is it really worth that, he said it is original, simple, and based off the name of a famous person. I say it isn't worth that much because it literally hasn't had, and still has nothing on it, I'm paying for the name only. Should I try to lower it down? Or is it really worth that much? If you guys think it is, I'm gonna forget it because I would never pay that much for a domain name.

The amount of time and effort that goes into one blog post is quite astonishing. I didnt realise this back in the good old days when I just read blog posts but think about it. You take the time to set up your camera, tripod, lights, backgrounds & product placement. Then you have to edit your pictures, make sure they are sized correctly, make sure they are clear, bright & eye catching. Then comes the writing. The review is the most precious, well for me anyway, as it should explain what the product is, what the company says it does compared to what it actually does (i.e. your findings) and also what is in it as people may be allergic to certain products. I like to look at reviews to see if other bloggers experienced something different and link it to give my readers a different view. Then you grab links and prices for readers so it's easy for them to head over to buy or look. Once this is done, then it's time for scheduling/publishing the post. Scheduling tweets. Posting on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and may more social platforms. I think you will agree it's already quite a lot at this point so for someone to copy and paste all of this hard work is downright disgusting. I totally understand why some bloggers get upset by this but trust me I have read a few posts in my time which have been carbon copies of others so its more common than you think.
I carried out a poll on twitter asking people if they believed bloggers who were paid and gave a glowing review. My results were as follows:
Do you believe big or small blogs?

All diabetics who are not regularly monitored at the hospital will be invited to attend the Surgery on a regular basis. Progress will be carefully monitored to reduce the long term risks associated with diabetes, such as heart disease and deteriorating eyesight.
We have trained asthma nurses who review our patients. Regular monitoring of asthmatics is recommended and you are advised to keep your regular appointments.
Our nurses regularly monitor patients with hypertension. These appointments are designed to support those patients whose blood pressure is poorly controlled, providing comprehensive screening, advice and relevant medication.
The Surgery has a well equipped treatment room and some of the Partners are trained in a range of Minor surgical & Joint injection procedures. Dermatology and Musculoskeletal Medicine are two other areas where some partners have either had hospital training or in the process of developing a special interest in. Appointments for a minor operation/ joint injection should only be made after an initial consultation with one of the doctors.
A Child Immunisation clinic is held by the Practice Nurses every Monday at the Surgery from 11:00am - 1:00pm.
All children are checked regularly during their first five years of life. This will be done by the Health Visitor. You will either be contacted by the health visitor or sent an appointment to attend at the surgery.
These services are available at the surgery. Ladies considering a coil need to see Dr Ridout initially to confirm suitability. It is then important to have some routine swabs 2 weeks before the fitting.
This member of the nursing team is involved in blood pressure monitoring, minor health checks, ECGs, applying simple dressings etc.
If a child under 16 years old requires a blood test they can go to The Butterfly Room at the Southampton General Hospital, which run a walk-in service from Monday - Friday 9.00am to 12.00pm and 2.00pm to 4.00pm. If a child needs to fast for their blood test they can arrive at 8.15am. (Please ensure you take the Blood Test Form with you)
It is not usually necessary to make an appointment with a doctor simply to have forms completed and/or signed. These can be left with a receptionist and collected at an agreed time. This service incurs a charge dependent on the nature and amount of work involved. Please see a receptionist for further details.

Always be yourself, unless you can be Batman, then always be the Batman
Handsomedan: I've seen plety of them on the road, but whenever i do, I think that if I owned one, I'd de-badge it.
They look like an older model Nissan or similar and I quite like that look, but there's just the stigma attached to Chinese vehicles that's hard to shake.
If you have no intention of ever selling it and you enjoy the ride in a test-drive (I'd try to take it for a weekend), then I'd say take the leap.
mattwnz: I think the only reason to buy one would be price alone. They certainly wouldn't win any design awards by the look of them.
I was a bit concerned when I read this, and how NZ rules aren't as stringent as Australias http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/wr-car-torque-bm-p-126716

For trips within Europe (at least until Brexit – who knows what will happen after that), you should also carry a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC; what used to be known as the E111) for your child. This entitles them to state-provided healthcare across the European Economic Area and Switzerland; treatment is usually free, as it is in the UK, but in some countries you might have to pay a small upfront charge (usually refundable by your travel insurer, should you wish to claim).
A EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance – it doesn't get you access to private healthcare, won't get you flown back to the UK and doesn't cover things like mountain rescue – but it's actually a requirement of some travel insurance policies, and is very handy to have as it means you can access healthcare fast, no questions asked. For more information on buying travel insurance for your child, take a look at my recent post on the subject.
The EHIC is free, though there are plenty of dodgy websites that will charge you for one. The official government EHIC website is a bit of a pain to use – if you're applying for your child, you register as the main applicant, and then add her details when asked if you need any additional cards (this comes so late in the application that I gave up hope several times; it's not very intuitive, but stick with it and you'll get there in the end). You'll need your NHS or NI number.

Jewelry Trends for Summer 2015
Outdoor concerts, barbecues, beach vacations – summer is where it's at! And Lavalier has the scoop on this year's hottest trends, whether you're wearing short shorts, a maxi dress, or an itsy-bitsy bikini. Take a look at our predictions of what the celebrities and fashionistas will be showing off this summer.
Double Bracelets
Lately, we've noticed celebrities and runway models alike sporting dual bracelets – one for each wrist! The fashion world's current 'it' girl Kendall Jenner rocked this look at the Balmain show in Paris for Spring/Summer Fashion Week. Sarah Jessica Parker also went with matching bracelets at the Met Gala – although you may be too distracted by her flaming headwear to notice. The best part about this trend is that it works with bangles, cuffs, tennis bracelets, and any other style. Just find one you love, and buy two!

Me-OW! Is it just us, or have the claws come out lately? We first saw the trend at Coachella; Diane Kruger paired a necklace with a smokin' red bikini top, while Fergie wore a much larger claw around her neck as she partied with Kendall Jenner. Both Sophia Bush and Cameron Diaz have been spotted wearing claw necklaces from the Elisabeth Bell Jewelry line. Keep the chain thin (a thick chain with a large pendant can make you look like you're wearing a necklace of giant-sized proportions) and layer with lariats and other, smaller pendants for a fresh, inspired take on a look that has been around for 130,000 years.

Sunbursts and Starbursts
There's no summer without sunshine, and this uplifting shape is sure to make you beam with delight. We first saw this trend on fabrics at Milan Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2015, but it's caught on like wildfire and has spread from your wardrobe to your jewelry box. Whether you prefer the many-rayed sunburst or the subtler starburst, these galactic baubles are sure to steal the show.

Mini Rose-Gold & Diamond Starburst Stud Earrings by Sydney Evan, $465 (Image Source)
Starburst Ring with Diamonds in Gold by David Yurman, $3,900 (Image Source)
So, now that you're armed with the latest fashion knowledge, are you ready to take summer by storm? Before you head out to your next social engagement, don't forget: summer poses unique hazards to your jewelry. Take your rings off before you go swimming, and put them somewhere safe. Don't wear your jewelry in the pool or the ocean, since sand and salt can loosen your settings, and chlorine isn't good for precious metals. If anything does happen, make sure you've got jewelry insurance through Lavalier, so you don't have to worry. See you on the beach!

In matters of foreign policy, it has been proved time and again, the Clintons are devoted to no interest other than their own. A president absolutely has to know of his chief foreign-policy executive that he or she has no other agenda than the one he has set. Who can say with a straight face that this is true of a woman whose personal ambition is without limit; whose second loyalty is to an impeached and disbarred and discredited former president; and who is ready at any moment, and on government time, to take a wheedling call from either of her bulbous brothers? This is also the unscrupulous female who until recently was willing to play the race card on President-elect Obama and (in spite of her own complete want of any foreign-policy qualifications) to ridicule him for lacking what she only knew about by way of sordid backstairs dealing. What may look like wound-healing and magnanimity to some looks like foolhardiness and masochism to me.Obama's pragmatism is much celebrated. But the choice of Clinton seems pragmatic politically, not for governing. Didn't the last 8 years prove that governing is far more than political perception? If you haven't read Ben's take, it's here.

Traffic signals knocked down in Winston-Salem crash
Multiple overhead traffic signals were knocked down in a crash at a Winston-Salem intersection Thursday morning.
The crash was reported around 6:15 a.m. at West First Street and Hawthorne Road. There is no word on injuries.
Images from the scene showed at least three signals down and a downed pole that had a pedestrian signal attached to it.
The crash, which took place not far from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and Brunson Elementary School, closed the entire intersection at one point during the morning commute.
No other information about the crash has been released.

Strobist Lighting Cookbook
NOTE: Links to individual lessons are below.
(Latest: Use Your Second Light to Hide Your First Light)
The Strobist lighting Cookbook is a practical manual for how to use your flashes. It's where lighting theory meets real world situations — and solutions. In this module, we will assume you have read Lighting 101 through Lighting 103. (If not, start here.)
Unlike On Assignment, which was haphazard and chronological, the SLC will build out to be an organized resource. You'll be able to find a solution set for yourself if, for example, you just own one light.
The examples will be (mostly) speedlight-based, and grouped by the equipment it takes to make them. This way you can learn what you can do with your present gear, and/or make a more informed decision as to whether to add another light to your bag.
The categories for the Strobist Lighting Cookbook are as follows:
No Lights (0L)
Having a better understanding of ambient light will make you a better lighting photographer. Ideally, you want to get to a point where ambient and strobe are seen as virtually interchangeable. If you don't own any lights, 0L is for you.
0L-01: Flash or Continuous, Light is Light
0L-02: Shiny Object, iPhone and the Sun
One Light (1L)
Combined with a good grasp on ambient light — and how to balance it — one light gives you some cool options. But you have to work within some creative restrictions.
Shooting with one light is usually compromise between what you'd like to do, and what you're equipped to do.
1L-01: One Light Outdoors—Find Shade
1L-02: One Light, Inside the Frame
1L-03: Use The Edge of Your Box for Better Light
1L-04: Useful Hack for Manual Flash at Sunset
Two or More Lights (2L)
Adding a second light is the sweet spot for most photographers. A second light lets you add separation — either on your subject or on your background. Or it can let you control the shadows created by your first light.
And if you want to add a third light, or more, we'll explore that here, too.
2L-01: Owning The Sun With Two Speedlights
2L-02: Two-Speedlight Daylight Group Shot
2L-03: Use Your Second Light to Hide Your First Light
Odds and Ends (OE)
If it doesn't fit well anywhere above, it goes here: DIY, cool hacks, connective tissue for the gaps above, and the like.
OE-01: $20 DIY Portable Doorway Diffuser
OE-02: Off-Label Compact Lighting Bag, for $23 Shipped
How to Follow Along
The Strobist Lighting Cookbook will grow in size and usefulness as new posts drop in. There is, however, no set schedule. If you are on the mail list, you'll get a heads-up anytime a new idea or technique is published. Or you can also keep tabs on new SLC posts via Instagram.
As for scope, the Lighting Cookbook is totally open-ended. We'll see where it goes when we get there.

Google Adds Verizon FiOS Inventory to TV Ads Product
Search giant's nascent TV ad buying platform bounces back from NBC loss with influx of new inventory from FiOS.
Search giant's nascent TV ad buying platform bounces back from NBC loss with influx of new inventory from FiOS.
Following a deal with DirecTV in August and the recent breakdown of its relationship with NBC, Google is adding more inventory to its TV Ads product through a partnership with Verizon FiOS.
The relationship will see FiOS hand off a portion of the non-premium inventory it sells across 50 different networks to Google, which it will pool with inventory from other sources and auction off to advertisers through its automated TV Ads system. FiOS ads currently reach 3.3 million homes, the company said, but would not specify which networks it's giving Google access to.
Google and Verizon also declined to specify exactly how much inventory will be made available to Google through the partnership, but FiOS general manager of ad sales Jason Malamud described it as a "substantial" and "material" amount. "Our sales teams do a great job of selling premium inventory, but it's difficult to be effective at selling the long tail," Malamud told ClickZ News. "There's lots of valuable stuff out there that's undersold, and our relationship with Google is intended to help advertisers find that inventory," he said.
The arrangement is similar to the ones Google already has in place with rival providers DirecTV and DISH Network, which also allocate the Google portions of their inventory in return for a share of revenue generated by the company's sale of it. Typically, providers sell around two to three minutes of ad inventory for every hour of programming, with the networks selling the remainder. Under the terms of these deals, therefore, Google will be selling a portion of the networks' two minutes of real estate an hour.
Speaking with ClickZ, Mark Piesanen, director of strategic partnerships for Google TV Ads, emphasized the fact that the product is not intended to grant advertisers access to inventory from specific providers, but instead to audiences. "Digital ad buyers have always thought about buying audiences. We're trying to bring that sensibility to television," he said, adding, "It's not about where the inventory is coming from… Advertisers care about the audiences, not the providers."
Piesanen said that by early 2011, the Google TV Ads platform will be able to reach 35 million households, representing around a third of all U.S. cable and satellite subscribers. The fact remains, though, that most of that inventory is non-premium in its nature, though Piesenan emphasized that much of it is available on all dayparts.

Few sounds in this world are as regal as the Chicago Symphony Chorus at full voice, and that easily verified fact was proven once again Thursday night in Orchestra Hall.
Though the chorus` performance of the evening`s major work, Haydn`s
``Nelson`` mass, occasionally seemed a bit breathless and overwrought, the ensemble`s sonic splendor almost swept aside one`s reservations. Under the longtime guidance of Margaret Hillis, who founded the group in 1957 and is conducting this week`s subscription concerts, the chorus yielded an immense sonority with as much depth as surface sheen.

Chappell: Farewell to Channel 9's golden era
AMERICAN baseballer Yogi Berra famously said: "It ain't over till it's over."
Well it's over. Four decades of Channel 9's extensive coverage of cricket in Australia - long established as essential viewing - have come to an abrupt end.
On Friday the thirteenth - my wife's birthday and a lucky day according to her - I was happy for Barbara-Ann but it was also a time tinged with sadness and reflection.
Memories carved out of the wit and wisdom of Richie Benaud; the sound of Bill Lawry and Tony Greig disagreeing on air and then going out to dinner that night.
The genius of executive producer David Hill and director Brian Morelli conjuring up magical television on the one hand and then on the other, delivering occasional verbal diarrhoea that either made you laugh or sit up and take notice.
Then in more recent times it was the smoothness and thought that went into Mark Nicholas' presentation; the sound of Mark Taylor and Michael Slater pondering the greatness of Wagga and surrounds; or Ian Healy impersonating a sports medicine expert one moment and then jumping in the Gabba pool with his trousers rolled to the knees.
Then there was the ascension of the ladies; female cricket commentary pioneered by actress Kate Fitzpatrick and then a long gap to the thoughts and charms of ex-international players Mel Jones and Lisa Sthalekar.
Then there are the people I feel most sad for - executive producer Tom Malone, producer Brent Williams and the talkative and talented director Bryan Newton.
All three starting to carve out their own legacy in cricket telecasting when it was suddenly over.
My thoughts then turned to those who also served - or in cricket parlance the also-bowled category. The booming voice of Frank "Typhoon" Tyson and the many hilarious sayings of fellow English fast bowler Freddie "Effin" Trueman. And my one-time teammates turned commentators; the always aggressive Keith Stackpole; the mischievous Rodney Marsh and my brother Greg.
And one can't forget the contribution made by the regular overseas visitors, headed by Tony Cozier - with the lilting Bajan accent dispensing thoughtful and well-researched wisdom from the Caribbean. He was followed by the equally mellifluous Michael Holding with his strong-held views on fast bowling, conveyed at a more gentle pace than his playing-day deliveries.
And who could forget the eccentricities of David Gower; he of the flowing sentences mixed with Pythonesque humour. Gower musing in the back of the commentary box; "What, on all fours Bill?" when, on air, Lawry was castigating an Indian batsman for not "running like a whippet."
And thoughts turned to the backroom boys and girls, of whom there were many. The long-tenured and dedicated cameramen and those most helpful and happily serving, epitomised by the erstwhile man-of-many-parts Renato "Ron" Castorina, who kept us on time and on the ball for a couple of decades.
There were also the indispensable but essentially eccentric statisticians Irving Rosenwater from England and Max Kruger of Brisbane. Between them they efficiently covered most of those four decades with historical tidbits and statistical accuracy.
The sight of Irving being frog-marched off a domestic flight, clutching his Gladstone bag full of beloved books like they were his baby - which they were - has stayed with me all these years.
People often remark on how pristine the set looks on television. If they could only see the cables littering the floor like hurriedly unravelled fire hoses and the people rushing here and there making last-minute changes to the run down. Or the make-up artist applying the last dab just as the floor-manager intones "three-two-cue you're on".
This was where the calmness of Benaud transcended all.
Richie was delivering, with thought and careful diction, his predictions for the days' play at the Gabba, when the backdrop suddenly collapsed.
Without missing a beat he pushed back with his elbows to ease the Wide World of Sports logo off his head just as his watch alarm started ringing. Still without a word out of place, he calmly searched under his cuff for the culprit and duly pressed the button to stop the racket.
Benaud epitomised the entertainment motto "The show must go on".
However, April the 13th, 2018 was a show stopper. But it was also a day to reflect on what has been a thoroughly enjoyable era and a job well done.

We loved Brangelina — or at least the idea of them.
Before they were petitioner and respondent, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and were two impossibly beautiful people who were not only rich, successful, but blissfully in love.
OK, so Jolie didn't wear a vile of Pitt's blood around her neck like she did with husband No. 2, Billy Bob Thornton, but she bore three kids with the guy. They were also raising three adopted children together.
But Brangelina is no more.
The grand Hollywood romance is kaput — a divorce filing Tuesday, a "decision made for the health of the family," said Jolie's lawyer.
But yes we have memories of their love story that began on the 2004 set of "Mr & Mrs. Smith" while Pitt still happened to be married to Jennifer Aniston.
Exhibit A: Pitt's candid photographs of his estranged (second) wife.
Check out GoodMad.com for a look-see. The best one? Of the director-actor staring at the camera while she holds a hamburger. YES!

We went to Koblenz today, which is about an hour north of where we live in Wiesbaden.
We went to visit Festung Ehrenbreitstein, an old fortress on the hill overlooking the rivers. There is also a really awesome playground there, so it was a perfect choice for us.
It was a fun and inexpensive day trip!
