First Baptist Church has deep ties to the colleges and universities in Macon, Mercer University in particular. in fact, First Baptist Church was instrumental in helping Mercer move from its original home in Penfield, GA to Macon.
Many of our "homegrown" students go away to colleges around the Southeast and find spiritual homes away from home. As a church located less than a mile from Mercer, 4 miles from Wesleyan College and 7.5 miles from Macon State College, we seek to be a spiritual home away from home for college and graduate students in the Macon area.
College Sunday School
Meet with other college students for Bible Study on Sunday mornings at 10:15. Come to the Education Building Lobby to be directed to the class.

In the afternoon of 11th July 2014, Pawa India Activist Salim Charania received a call from Ms.Christina Lobo Jha that a pure bred German Shepherd dog was tied up to a tree on the road near Thakur Mall at Dahisar and that the dog was in poor condition with a wound on its hind leg. Salim reached the spot with activist Dylan and found that the dog was kept in horrible condition in the rain with barely any protection. Also there was only bread in his food bowl which was covered with flies and the water kept for him was also very unclean. The wound on the hind leg was also found to be maggot infested.
When the owner was questioned, he tried to get away by saying that he had been out of Mumbai and that is why the dog remained untreated and developed an infection. However he could not provide any answer as why the dog was housed in such pathetic condition on an open road. The activists asked him to hand over possession of the dog so that it could be rehomed in conditions suitable for a dog of its breed. The owner was unwilling to hand over the dog and argued a lot. However when it was explained to him that he could be prosecuted for mistreating and neglecting the dog, he agreed to hand over the dog for adoption.
The dog was taken into custody by the activists alongwith a signed declaration from the owner that he has handed over the dog voluntarily to the activists. The dog has since been handed over to YODA - Priya & Pooja for treatment and adoption.
This rescue operation was conducted by the activists without seeking help from the police.
This Cause is supported by Salim, Dylan, Christinia, Pooja Bhandari, Pooja Sakpal & Priya

"I'm just so inspired by all the amazing products," said Shaw. "I can't wait to try out all these different, delicious things at the show today."

Congratulations to all of our fantastic winners and finalists," he said.

Recently, Trades of Hope, through our Gifts of Hope program donated to a ministry that is giving ducks to families in the Philippines. We have loved getting to talk to our artisan group in Manila, and through working with them to produce the new Trades of Hope earrings, feel we have a strong connection there. When we found out about this opportunity to give ducks to hungry families, it seemed like a great match!
The families will benefit from hundreds of large, protein-rich eggs all year long. Extra duck eggs and hatched ducklings can be sold to buy medicine or help send a child to school.
Ducks have made a big difference for Elna Lajo's children in the Philippines. "It's a blessing from God that we were chosen [to receive the ducks]," says the mother of seven children. Easy and inexpensive to care for, her ducks have become a "livelihood that will send the kids to school."
Trades of Hope considers it a privilege and a blessing to be able to give back through the sales of our products and home parties! Thank you for changing the world with us!

So Long, Frank………….…………..HELLO, Paul the new HOH
Thankfully or Tragically depending on how much you liked Frank, He DID NOT have the round trip ticket to go back into the house. It was so quiet in there while Julie was opening up the envelope you could hear a pin drop. They went to commercial and when they returned the houseguest's were in the back yard ready to play for the HOH. For the second week in a row, CBS decided the feeder's were not worthy of watching them compete, but as usual as soon as the feeds returned we all found out who HOH is and also who the Have nots are for the week….They are Corey, Natalie, Zakiyia, & Paulie. This should be interesting…..(James plans on sleeping in the have not room too even though he doesn't have to, I wonder why??? lol). For the life of me, I can't figure out why CBS is denying their paying customer's the right to watch the outcome of the comps knowing all the info gets out anyway. Another thing that bothers me is ((generally on Sundays))…it's like they have someone's teens in the control room, because they cut the feeds off and on for nothing at all. Am I the only one that's noticed this? Example: Corey's story about the girl named Shane has been talked about over a week ago, yet I believe it was Victor (don't quote me on that, not sure) started telling someone about it and they kept blocking the feeds….ok, rant over
After all the dust settled from the excitement of the HOH reveal, then the game talk begins…..To my surprise, Paul wants Bridgette out!! He's made it clear to everyone she is his target, but….he wants a volunteer to go on the block with her who can help him win the POV to take that volunteer up and replace that person with DaVonne…..Paul approached Victor and of course he shot that down like a hot potato saying "I've already been evicted". They tossed Natalie's name around to James and she's scared to do it, so Nicole decided it would be in everybody's best interest if she volunteered. After talking to Corey about it, he then volunteered because he's stronger than her and wants to play in the POV. After talking to Paul, he assured Natalie he wouldn't put her up because she's a have not and that's stressful enough. Nicole was there for that conversation because she was giving her pitch to him about accepting the responsibility to go up. Everything seemed like a go until Corey came up and began pleading his case to please Paul's decision. At that point, Paulie had enough and just said "Fuck It, I'll go up"….which caught Paul's attention quick! He said "really bro? You'll do this?" The fist bumped and Paul said "There, it's settled PP's got a plan".
So, the plan at this point is to put Bridgette & Paulie on the Block (telling DaVonne the reason for Paulie is he volunteered). Then, depending on who wins POV, Paulie will come off the Block and DaVonne will be the replacement nomination. The only thing about that scenario is Paul made it perfectly clear he wants BRIDGETTE out and if the house votes for DaVonne to go home, he'll be mad (Pissed), but he'll understand. Trying to get as little blood as possible. For me personally, I think (as a watcher) there are bigger targets than Bridgette, but that's just me. Oh well, we'll see later on today whether or not the nominations change in the morning.
Until then…..TA TA FOR NOW………..MOMMAT

One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow tumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys in five different cars before he found his. Then he sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes. Everyone else left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to pull away. The police officer was waiting for him. He stopped the driver, read him his rights and administered the Breathalyzer test. The results showed a reading of 0. 0. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, "Tonight I'm the designated decoy. "-893+
Embarrassing Situations!
A very shy guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting at the other end. After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks, tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?" To which she responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!" By now, the entire bar is staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table. After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations." To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200!"
There's this little guy sitting inside a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half-an-hour.
Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down.
The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says: "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't see a man crying." "No, it's not that. Today day is the worst of my life. First, I overslept and was late to an important meeting. My boss, outrageous, fired me. When I left the building to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police, they said they could do nothing. I got a cab to return home, and after I paid the cab driver and the cab had gone, I found that I left my whole wallet in the cab. I got home only to find my wife was in bed with the gardener. I left home and came to this bar. And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison..."
There was a man sitting at a bar, and he looks over at the gentleman sitting next to him and says, "Hey, you look familiar.
Are you from around here?" The man answers, "Yeah, I live down the street."
"No kidding?" says the first man, "Well, so do I. And hey, you look about my age. Where did you go to high school?"
"Oh I went to Francis Lewis over on Utopia. Graduated in '66.
How 'bout you?"
"Get out. I went to Francis Lewis. And I graduated in '66, too." "Where'd you go to college?"
"Beloit, in Wisconsin."
"No way! I went to Beloit too. What dorm?"
"Kevin Sullivan dorm."
"Sullivan? You're not going to believe this..."
Joe the bartender walks over, and the first guy says, "Joe, you won't believe it in a million years. This guy went to the same
high school as me, graduated the same year I did, and went to the same college. We were even in the same dorm. Isn't that amazing?"
Joe looks at them both and says, "Yeah, that's just plain amazing."
A third man comes in and says, "Hey Joe. What's new?" Joe says, "Not much. The Johnson twins are drunk again."
The Old Man and the Sea
A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns to tell their adventures on the seas. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg leg, hook, and an eye patch. Curious, the seaman asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"
The pirate replies "I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off".
"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about the hook"?
"Well..." , replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand clean off."
"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"?
"A seagull dropping fell into my eye", replied the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked.
"Well..." said the pirate, "That was my first day with the hook."

One of LA's three gifts from us this Christmas was Elefun. And, he can't stop playing it! Mrs Blondes says it's been around for years but Mr Blonde had never seen it until it was opened beneath the tree a couple days ago.
Anybody ever played this? Perfect for almost all ages. Hasbro calls it ages 3 - 6, but we would call it ages 2 - dead. It's a riot and only $25 bucks brand new. Retail chains often run strong sales on game items too. You can pick them up used on ebay or Amazon for closer to $15. Money well spent. The four C batteries it takes is a bit much, but that fan has to be powerful enough to blow up the butterflies through a 5 foot elephant nose. So, we cut the makers some slack. Great product! Love the communal games like this.
Here is video of LA playing with his little cousin Raymond while the family watches on pre-Christmas dinner at our place.

Use plastic and foil liners religiously
From pans to refrigerators to ovens, lining just about anything with plastic or aluminum foil is a lazy person's key to a tidy kitchen. The secret? Just peel away the liner after use, and your bowl, plate or baking sheet is instantly clean again. (Use plastic wrap for cold foods and aluminum foil or parchment paper for the oven.) Here are 10 easy ways to clean your microwave, stovetop and oven.

Open Every Day
January 26, 2017
We're bewitched for the Schrock's rich, locally made bone broth, and are bursting with joy and excitement to share our top 5 ways to use it with you. This wholesome bone broth is made with free-range chickens raised right on the Schrock's family farm in Wildersville, TN, and can be purchased frozen by the quart every Saturday at the Nashville Farmers' Market in Farm Shed 1. And though sipping this warm, protein-packed delight is popular, we've discovered a slew of other uses that equally comforts the body and soul.
The term "bone broth" can be confusing, since a "broth" is traditionally made with meat and without bones. Therefore, bone broth is actually most similar to a stock, being primarily made from the bones and connective tissue of animals and fish. However, bone broth can differ from stock since it can be simmered for much longer, teasing out even more gelatin from collagen-rich joints and trace minerals that exist inside bones. This long-simmering process makes for a richer mouth-feel and flavor, and can provide essential amino acids to support bodies in healthy ways.
Grains. Cooking grains such as rice, polenta, and quinoa in a luxuriously flavored bone broth can add a savory level of seasoning that grains cooked in water lack. Just remember these handy ratios: rice (1 cup grains to 2 cups bone broth), faro (1 part grain to 2 1/2 cups bone broth), quinoa (1 cup grain to 1 1/4 - 2 cups bone broth), couscous (1 cup grain to 1 1/4 cup bone broth).
Braise. Using rich bone broths as a braising liquid for meats and vegetables is one of our favorite cooking methods at home. Try taking chopped winter root vegetables (such as turnips, potatoes, and onions from Plano Produce), sautéing them until caramelized in a bit of butter and olive oil, then splashing in a cup or two of bone broth to simmer with the lid on until tender — melt-in-your-mouth good!
Reduce. Have you ever made a demi-glace? How about a demi-glace au poulet?? These fancy French sauces are prepared by simmering down a combination of stocks, yet we at the market like to take a tip from Julia Child and opt for a simpler "semi-demi-glace" to save time. Simply take 2-quarts of the Shrock's bone broth, and simmer down uncovered with 2 tablespoons of white wine until 1-2 cups of liquid is left. This intensely rich reduction can be added to soups, stews, and sauces, or heat and spoon over entrees to add a complex depth of flavor.
Simmer. By far the simplest of our top 5 ways to use bone broth, yet one of our most favorite. Simply simmer your favorite vegetables in a rich bone broth for a quick, easy meal to serve with a side of rice. We even like to the simmer locally grown red potatoes found at market that we drain and mash with JD Country buttermilk for a down-home, classic side.
Sauces. To accessorize your dish with the appropriate punch of flavor, think about adding bone broth to sauces and gravies to spill over biscuits, mashed potatoes, and meats. Add bone broths to breakfast gravies, like classic sausage or Kentucky bacon and milk, or whisk into a roux and add parmesan and cream to toss with your favorite pasta, and -- voila! -- an elegant dinner for two.

Story: The story is about a father and his relationship with his son. Shekhar Subramanium (Shahrukh Khan) tries everything possible to impress his son, but Pratik (Armaan Verma) believes that his father is not so cool. In an effort to impress his son, Shekhar designs a game which changes their lives. The game which was meant to be played, starts playing with their lives, marking the entry of Ra.One and G.One.
Story Treatment: With months of promotional activities, Ra.One has tremendous curiosity value attached to it. The story juggles between Sci-Fi and Bollywood drama and leaves the audience enthralled in parts. The first half depicts various shades of a father-son relationship whereas, post interval the action unfolds. However, the script tends to lose its track by making the efforts tasteless. Comparisons with Rajinikanth's Robot and SRK's Ra.One are bound to happen, especially in sequences built upon the same track. For instance, the train chase sequence brings back flashes of Chitti and his robotic skills, when compared with the aerial G-One.
Star Cast: Shahrukh as Shekhar is innocent, crystal sharp and natural. King Khan as G-One tries to carry the aura of superhero with immense poise, but is caged as a 'family superhero' rather than messiah of all. Kareena Kapoor (Sonia Subramanium), as always, manages to be easy on the eyes with her great looks and acting calibre. She also makes one realise that even in a superhero film, a heroine is a must. Armaan Verma is a superb pick for his role, as he sinks into the character perfectly, sometimes even outshining established stars like SRK and Kareena. Rajinikanth, rightly referred to as the 'Real Superhero' in the movie as well, steals the show within few seconds of his entry and makes the crowd clap and whistle with his mere presence. Arjun Rampal walks away with the cake for his deadly looks and impresses as the real bad man. Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra are wasted. Satish Shah's presence induces a few funny moments. Shahana Goswami plays her part well.
Direction: What's noteworthy about Anubhav Sinha's work is the fact that he has paid attention to the quaint essential bit on the technological front and also, infused the right amount of emotional dose required for the movie to be termed an entertainer. The director makes his star cast look the best, yet loses few points as the track is led astray. At the same time, Anubhav understands the demand of Bollywood fans and tries to keep all the elements.
Dialogue/cinematography/music: Dialogues are a concoction of emotions with a message which runs throughout the movie, almost forming its soul- Victory of good over evil. Cinematography is excellent, while music is decent. Chammak Chhallo, which is already riding high on the popularity chart, lives up to the hype created, while Dildaara displays the love and emotional saga between Kareena and Shahrukh.
3ups and Down: Ra.One is surely crafted as a kids' entertainer. Compared to Chitti, the emotional side of G-One takes a hit. SRK's fans, who have been missing him on the silver screen after 'My Name Is Khan', can grab this opportunity to see their hero in a never-seen-before avatar. The movie is a joyful cinematic experience for game enthusiasts.

In the not too distant past, alternative access for lower-extremity arterial intervention (LEAI) was making a decision about which femoral or brachial artery to access. Antegrade femoral artery access was perhaps considered "alternative." Fast forward to the current state of endovascular intervention and we find ourselves considering things like radial artery access for LEAI, primary tibial artery treatment from a pedal approach, and even metatarsal artery access. There is no doubt about the advantages we now have as interventionalists with regard to better technology. Improved guidewires, dedicated crossing devices, support catheters, and ultra-low profile balloons have enabled us with the ability to access, cross, and treat obstructive lesions that were previously untreatable. Adjunctive therapies like atherectomy and stents are still finding their way in the treatment of tibial artery disease and critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Tibio-pedal artery access (TPAA) is being used with increasing frequency as alternative access to facilitate procedural success in LEAI. This technique is usually employed in the setting of CLI and tibial artery intervention, but may offer potential practical advantages for popliteal artery and even superficial femoral artery (SFA) intervention in unique situations. While others have described TPAA access for intervention for claudication, we have not found it to be necessary in patients with claudication and primarily femoropopliteal disease. In our practice, TPAA is only used in the setting of CLI and in only 5%-10% of those patients. That said, our threshold for moving to an alternative access site with failed antegrade recanalization in tibial arteries has been lowered.
Technical Considerations
As our knowledge of pedal anatomy has improved and our understanding of the need for focused or directed revascularization has increased, so too has the importance of case planning. Clinical success in terms of limb salvage is based on procedural success and of course wound care if needed. Procedural success hinges on entry and exit strategies. Basic concepts are discussed below, with our typical preferences.
Patient Prep: Set Yourself Up For Success
Patient position and comfort are issues that will be important initially during access since the pedal vessels can be quite small, and incidental patient movement during access can be frustrating. Depending on the access vessel of choice, the leg can be positioned in a neutral position or externally rotated at the hip and/or foot to allow good visualization of the artery. It is important to support the foot in the chosen position such that the patient will be still during access. This can be achieved through use of towels or pillows beneath the sterile drape and also use of straps to secure the limb in ideal position. Judicious use of conscious sedation to minimize untimely patient movement can be invaluable in anxious patients. Many have described using deep sedation and/or general anesthesia in some patients.
Operator position and comfort is also a key consideration. I am a big believer in maximizing your ability for success by doing the right work up front. There is mounting evidence on the orthopedic and radiation impact we have from being interventionalists. These are potentially long cases and attention to operator position prior to starting the procedure can improve comfort, minimize direct radiation exposure, and still allow adequate visualization of the appropriate monitors. In order to secure stable TPAA, attention should be given to where the operator will stand during access and possible treatment, the position of the image intensifier (II) and monitors, position of ultrasound (if used), and access to any antegrade access that may be needed as well.
Sterile preparation of the access site may be considered to be routine, however there are a few unique considerations to be taken into account. In the presence of obvious infection, ischemic ulceration, or an open wound, meticulous technique is necessary and should include a sterile prep of the entire foot, even if the access site may be somewhat removed from the ulcer/wound. In our lab, a wide, double prep using chlorhexidine is employed. The toes are covered with a sterile towel if there is active ulceration and a drape place across the intended access site. Prior to the prep, nitroglycerin paste is sometimes applied to the access site to maximize vasodilatation. If this is chosen, it is applied a few minutes prior to application of the chlorhexidine, so that it is not immediately cleared away.
Entry Strategy: Ideal Access
Choosing which artery to access with regard to the various philosophies (angiosome-directed therapy, focused revascularization, etc.) is beyond the scope of this article and varies from physician to physician. Numerous techniques have been described and all are equally useful. I will simply describe our technique once the decision has been made regarding the specific artery to be accessed.
Imaging guidance for obtaining access into the target vessel is either by ultrasound or fluoroscopy. The major advantage of ultrasound is real-time imaging without ionizing radiation. Linear, high-frequency transducers (7 or 12 MHz) are used most frequently, depending on target-vessel depth. Choice of using a transverse (axial) or a sagittal (longitudinal, "in-plane") orientation for puncture is a matter of operator choice. Once the artery is punctured, ultrasound can be used to follow the guidewire to the point of obstruction; total recanalization of the lesion by ultrasound guidance has been described. Fluoroscopy provides real-time imaging, but operator radiation exposure can be significant in pedal access cases due to the need to have "working room" while accessing the vessel which may require the II to be raised, thereby increasing radiation scatter. If present, vessel calcification can provide a target. Roadmapping can be used as well and may even be advantageous if the target vessel is deep (eg, peroneal artery); however, this technique is often compromised by patient motion.
Micropuncture access is universally used due to the size of the native pedal vessels. Several device makers have specific pedal access kits, typically consisting of a 21 gauge needle and a coaxial dilator system. If the primary intervention is planned from below, dedicated sheaths have been designed for this purpose. Our practice is to perform pedal access for lesion crossing only, with rare exception. Our preferred imaging modality is ultrasound, with use of roadmapping for retrograde peroneal artery puncture, due its usual depth.
Exit Strategy: "Getting Out of Dodge"
Equally as important to vessel access is an exit strategy that avoids local complications. Acute occlusion, thrombosis, or dissection can be a devastating outcome after a complex tibial intervention. Manual pressure is most commonly used at the level of the foot; however, prolonged balloon inflation is also very commonly used if any kind of wire-reversal technique has been employed. This is the standard approach in our practice.
Use of radial artery bands and blood pressure cuffs are also used, especially if direct manual pressure cannot be reasonably applied to the access site.
TPAA provides alternative access for LEAI when routine antegrade access has failed, or in some practices as primary access for below-the-knee intervention. Well thought out case planning is imperative to ensure successful entry and exit in this challenging patient population. ISET 2017 offers several sessions to learn more about these techniques in greater detail.

Hi everybody
I have a problem to install the Netgear WNA1100 wireless-N 150 adapter to my laptop. The error message is as follows:
HrGetINetCfg0..failed. Error code 0x80070057
Can somebody help? Thank you
|My System Specs
|19 Apr 2011
What causes 0x80070057 error?
The 0x80070057 error may be caused by windows registry damage. The corrupted registry entries can be a real threat to the well being of your computer.
There can be many events which may have resulted in the registry errors. An incomplete installation, an incomplete uninstall, improper deletion of applications or hardware. It can also be caused if your computer is recovered from a virus or adware/spyware attack or by an improper shutdown of the computer. All the above actives may result in the deletion or corruption of the entries in the windows registry. This corrupted registry will lead to the missing and wrongly linked information and files needed for the proper working of the application.
So I suggest remove uninstall drivers then Ccleaner then restart and reinstall.

What will South Coast Rail stations look like and how will the service operate? As the design advances, MassDOT will continue working with communities, stakeholders, agencies and the public to review the design elements.
The project is currently at the "preliminary" design phase, but it will advance steadily over the coming years. At several key points, the MBTA will hold public meetings and offer opportunities for comment and input. The MBTA will also work with each individual station community on an ongoing basis.
Here are some of the design basics:
SCR Phase 1 would provide service from New Bedford, Fall River and Taunton to Boston using the Middleborough Secondary line and the existing Middleborough/Lakeville Commuter Rail line.
MassDOT will continue to advance the full Stoughton Electric (preferred alternative) design, which consists of new track and stations between Canton Center and Cotley Junction. The preferred alternative is the "Stoughton Electric" option. This means the train will be powered using an electrified system with catenary structures. It will travel on the Stoughton Main Line and Northeast Corridor (north of Canton Junction). The corridor map shows the route trains will travel from South Station to terminus stations in Fall River and New Bedford.
For a map of Phase 1 and the Full Build, view the Phased Corridor Map
South Coast Rail will add ten new stations and reconstruct two existing stations. Learn more about the stations.
A layover facility – a location where trains can be stored during off-peak hours – will be included at each terminus location of the project. Learn more about layover facilities.
The preferred route requires a combination of rebuilt and new tracks. The MBTA will reconstruct existing active freight tracks to accommodate passenger rail and construct new tracks to replace out-of-service tracks or in new rights-of-way. The geometry of the design will allow the commuter rail to reach increased speeds. The track alignments have been carefully considered, and are designed to minimize environmental resource and private property impacts.
South Coast Rail will require 45 grade crossing upgrades. As always, safety is the MBTA's number one priority. Each crossing will be equipped with state-of-the-art safety warning devices. Trains travelling through the crossing will be required to sound their horns.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos took it upon himself to give Google Android OS the praise that it deserves. According to Bezos:
Android is accomplishing everything that Amazon needs it to and, at the same time, giving the company flexibility to customize things. We treat Android like Linux, and so it's a base OS layer. We have a large dedicated team that customizes Android and that's what you see on the Kindle Fire.
I think it's great to see a CEO of such a huge player like Amazon praising Android for what it offers to everyone. It's probably the least he can do considering the sales Android has helped give the Kindle Fire, and the upcoming success the Kindle Fire 2 and Kindle Fire HD will bring to the company.
When asked if Amazon has any plans on straying away from Android, Bezos gave a simply answer of "No, we like Android."

I write this post with a mouthful of jelly beans I pilfered from Maddy's Easter candy haul. I'm also eyeballing her 2-foot high chocolate rabbit, wondering how I can sucessfully eat the ears without her noticing. I don't know why the ears hold such fascination for me. I swear they taste better that any other part of the rabbit. I told her I was going to eat the ears and she said I would get a bite of the feet, if I'm lucky. With an attitude like that, she might be missing the whole rabbit.
Anyway, I'm a bit cracked out on sugar, so here are pictures from Sunday's festivities.

Turn on the TV, open up the web, or scan the news on your phone and also you make certain to see or listen to something regarding dieting, slimming down or reaching your wellness goals.
If that's what you're aiming to do, it's easy to obtain addicted into unsubstantiated insurance claims, and also even more than that, to believe whatever you hear.
Get in advance of the video game and also remain on track by staying away from these 4 misconceptions regarding weight management:
- Once you're "healthy and balanced," it's very easy –Ask any person that has reached their weight-loss success, or perhaps people that were never ever obese and also have just adopted a healthy and balanced way of living, and they will tell you that they still have negative days.There are still days where it is tougher to eat healthy and balanced, more difficult to remain on track and harder to make the finest, healthy and balanced choices in the middle of mainly harmful ones.More significantly however, each still has off days, which's absolutely fine! You will merely finish up inhibited and also discouraged if you assume that on a daily basis, weekly will certainly be ideal and you will certainly never ever again drop off track as soon as you shed your weight. Instead, adopt the 80/20 frame of mind, where you are stringent and on course 80% of the time and also the other 20% is a little much more flexible.You still require to have fun and also consume the foods you love!
- You can never ever shed that pesky last 10 pounds –You always listen to individuals say "I just cannot lose these last 10 extra pounds!" If you reach a plateau as well as aren't shedding weight anymore, it suggests your body has actually come to be efficient at functioning the means you have been asking it to, as well as currently you have to do something different.This may mean increasing the intensity or duration of your workouts, modifying the make-up of your diet (i.e. much more fat or protein), or simply changing your state of mind.Whatever it could be, the point is you should change something and also without a modification, your body will simply continue to get extra efficient and also you won't make anymore progress.
- One size fits all – You read the latest diet plan online, go out and purchase all the supplements it suggests as well as the foods it applauds, begin it up and also 6 weeks later (simply like it assures), you'll reach success.If it sounds as well great to be real, it's since it is.The initial part of your success in slimming down is recognizing that what benefit your pal, or the individual on TELEVISION may not help you.Your success is your own success and also thus, it needs your own program and course to get there.The concept that all you have to do is count calories in versus calories out is not always the situation, as well as losing the weight you want will take some dedicated effort and time on your part to determine the very best program.If you require assistance or aren't certain where to begin, you could likewise choose the aid of a nutritionist or dietician to assist you obtain on track.
- I'll just achieve success through strict dieting– As a matter of fact, it may be the complete reverse that is true!When you place yourself on a strict diet, counting calories, lowering foods and also putting foods off limits, you in fact wind up preferring those foods a lot more, feeling deprived, hungry and also total simply setting on your own up for binging later.You feel negative after your binge, restrict your food again, and also the cycle proceeds. The best point to do instead is to tidy up your diet, eliminating processed foods, fine-tuned carbohydrates and sugar, and opting rather to choose an entire food, plant based diet.Using these food choices, teach on your own to consume with ease and also hear your body, consuming when you are hungry as well as stopping when you are full.Without the bad foods in your diet, you will stop desire them, as well as by paying attention to your body, you will certainly quit consuming to excess.The result will be a much healthier you, reaching your weight loss goals, with no diet regimen involved!

There are a lot of people out there who think that 'Rambo' only exists within the 4 movies that were released between 1982 – 2008, and that he is the creation of Sylvester Stallone; much like his beloved Rocky. Those people (especially if they are of a certain age) may also be aware of an animated Rambo series that premiered in the 1980's.
Surprisingly, I often come into contact with people who have no idea that Rambo first appeared in the 1972 novel 'First Blood', written by David Morrell.
In this short e-book (29 pages and 99p on Amazon) David Morrell gives an insight into how the character of Rambo and the First Blood novel came to fruition, and it sure as hell packs in a lot of information considering its limited page count.
You'll find out how the name 'Rambo' was given to the character, the stories of the real life American soldier he was based on (one of the true stories about this soldier would make the fictional Rambo break into a sweat!), the reasoning behind Teasle's hatred of Rambo, Morrell's own fascinating personal journey, why the novel was removed from high school and college reading lists in the 1980's, and much more.
First Blood is a classic piece of literature and all too often unfairly discarded as 'pulp' by people who haven't even read it and associate it directly with the movie franchise. This e-book is the perfect taster for those who have never read the novel to get a little insight into it's creation and characters. If your interest isn't peaked to read the full novel after reading this, then I can only assume that Teasle must be a distant relative of yours and you have an aversion to anything Rambo related.

SAN FRANCISCO --In San Francisco today, the Board of Supervisors will debate whether Muni's proposed service cuts are legal.
A city resident and transit activist filed for the hearing claiming the reductions violate provisions of the state's Environmental Quality Act guidelines.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, which manages Muni, recently approved a 10 percent service reduction as a cost-saving measure.
Those reductions are set to take effect May 1.

First night was spent at a Walmart in Kennewick, Wash. Picked up some supplies and headed out ending up at Twin Falls, Idaho, overnighting at a Walmart. Put the slide out over some grassy area and early morning had to bring it in because of the irrigation sprinklers. Picked up more supplies at the Walmart and drove south down #93 and stayed overnight at a truck stop in Wells, Nevada in a wet snow storm.
Somewhere heading south through Nevada. Lots of snow on the high mountains. Pulled into Wells for fuel at a truck stop as wet snow started falling. Pulled in for the night and in the morning there were a number of RV's parked next to us. Temps were a little above freezing with slush on the road. Knowing we had to climb over a pass before heading south, we waited awhile as the temps climbed a bit. No problems.
|Pulled into a boondocking area above Hurricane. Because of the wet spring, even the desert was green. For cast was for rain the next day. Probably will not get any good biking in before the clay dries up.
|Gooseberry Mesa in the background as the sun sets. No problems hauling the Creekside down the road with the F350 6.7L towing beast. Climbed up fairly steep hills at 1800 RPM. Nice.
|Some Utah school districts were having a break so at the trailhead to our destination today, Red Cliffs Recreational Area, there were a lot of families.
|Because it was supposed to drizzle we decided to hike the Red Reef Trail, a nice 10km loop. This is the junction where all of the families turned back.
|All alone as we climb up the left fork of the Harrisburg Creek I think. First time seeing the red rock since last year. Always looks so dramatic.
|These shrubs had a gujillion bees on them. Have to look up the name in a plant book.
|Pat hiking through a cute little canyon.
|Up a steep staircase of red rock. Rain is starting to fall as predicted.
|After a winter of skiing, a little rain and cool weather is sort of fun.
|After a few hours of climbing, we work our way down following a dry sandy wash. Just about out of the red rock.
|Met this guy from North Carolina? Bike shop said that the Prospector trail was about the only good place to ride in the St. George area when it was raining if you didn't want to encounter clay. They was wrong.
|Sedona is supposed to get dryer weather in the next few days so we head out on #59 and at Kanab right on #89 to south of Page. Must have snowed last night. Glad we were not driving.
|Head down #89 to Cameron, through Flagstaff and on the Sedona. Pull onto a dirt road and find a good boondocking spot.
|Because the trails are still wet, a hike up to Chicken Point is in order. Busy time of the year possibly because of the school break in different parts of the States.
|We were having coffee in the morning and these guys floated over us headed to somewhere near Cottonwood. They are a commercial operation that gives tourists rides from Sedona.
|This might have been our first ride of the year. It had been almost 8 months since we had been on our mountain bikes.
|We will ride the loop, from Long Canyon road, up Mescal, right Deadman Pass trail, right Long Canyon, cross road to Gunslinger, right onto Chuck Waggon, then back to the truck. Maybe 3 hours riding plus view stops.
|We got into the habit of cycling in the morning and going for a 2-3 hour hike in the afternoon. Hikes are not that strenuous in Sedona. Here we set out on the Boyton Canyon Trail, maybe 6km return. 2hours.
|Today's morning ride starts at Fays Canyon trail head. Along Eerie, Cockcomb, right at Ruup, left at Girdner, across Dry Creek road to Chuck Waggon, onto Long Canyon road, down to Dawa, right at Cockcomb then back to the truck. Easy 3 hours.
|Afternoon hike starts at the Soldiers Pass trailhead. Meet a few hikers but generally quiet. This is the view from the pass looking over to Wilson mountain and possible Steamboat rock.
|Uptown Sedona. Nice, peaceful 2-3 hour hike.
|Pat and Grumps(that me), walk the trails above the campground with Cottonwood spread out below.
|Looking down at the Verde Valley from the Highline trail. It was the weekend and all of the trailhead parking areas were crowded. If you can believe it, we ran into gridlock driving through Sedona on our way back to Cottonwood. Pretty popular place.
|This guy with Wisconsin plates was classic skiing on roller skis. Always looks funny in the desert. Superstition mountain in the background.
|Apache Junction is somewhere down there to the right of the Flat Iron. Shane, Pat and Dave hike up to the Flat Iron a steep trail with vertical cliffs at the top not for the faint hearted.
|There has been a lot of rain for the desert this spring of 2017 and the canyon bottoms see creeks flowing which we haven't seen before. A bit scuzzy to drink without a filter but makes for good bathing on a hot day.
|Not too far from the truck. Glad we took a fair bit of water because it is really hot and sunny by the time we reach the TH.
|The ride today starts off at the Proctor Road TH which is below the Bogs Springs CG. Tom, Sandra, Pat and Dave all saddle up for a cross country ride called the Elephant Head Bike Trail on a rough cattle trail.
|Nice barrel cactus starting to bloom. The trail is a bit overgrown and soon we are all bleeding from cuts and scrapes caused by the different cactus's and shrubs which are native to this area.
|Make it to the junction with FS4073 which heads up to Chino Canyon.
|We hang left and and bike up the sandy road. After a few km,s we turn back. We never saw any snakes but there were lot of wiggly trails left by the reptiles all along the soft sandy sections of the road.
|Next day sees another cloudless sky with moderate temps because of the elevation.We head up the trail to hike Mt Wrightson.
|3/4 of the way up, the peak of Mt. Wrightson comes into view. Hiking is moderately steep and the trail is good.
|Pat attaining the summit. Because these mountains are in an island, we have an unobstructed, 360* view of the whole area including Tucson to the north.
|Still a little snow lingers on the north side of the mountain.
|Ahhhhhh. But the Margarita at the end makes all of the lost blood worth every second of the hike. Temps are moderate because of the elevation and there seems to be lots of birds because of this.
|Nice view of the Catalina Mt's. from the campsite with the top of Mt. Lemmon just to the right of some sharp peaks in the top, left ,third of the photo.
|Because of the heat and the length of the hike(8hrs), we get dropped off at 7;00AM. This shot was taken 1/2 hr from the Romero Pools.
|Some sort of a horned toad.
|Because of the heat, Pat and Dave decided to drive up to the Grand Canyon which over the last 6 years has been one of our favorite hiking areas. There is nowhere else in the world that can compare to the size and grandeur of the Grand Canyon.
|Today's hike is from The New Hance trail(7000') to the Grandview Trail(7399')via the Colorado river(2548'). We park our truck at Grandview TH and ride our touring bikes 10km to the New Hance TH and cache them in the bush.
|From the river, we start the long 6 hr grind up to the Grandview TH via the Hance Creek canyon. Always rafts on the river whether they be private or commercial.
|Leaving the green waters of the Colorado as we ascent up through the dark rock of the Vishnu Schist.
|Cross Hance creek and up the steep canyon trail to Page Springs, usually a good water source.
|Pat hiking up on one of the original mule trails. There used to be a lot of mining activity in the canyons below and they used these trails to haul ore up to the rim for future smelting.
|Back above Hurricane, Utah at one of our favorite boondocking site with the weather looking promising and the mountain bike trails drying up.
|Pat on Hurricane Rim with La Verkin in the background.
|The Virgin River with more water in it than most years.
|Riding on Gould's Rim before heading up to the #59 crossing and then back down on JEM.
|Looking south east from a red rock ridge past the end of the Northgate Peaks trail. We hiked into the Wildcat Canyon about halfway to the Lava point lookout and headed back and out to where this photo was taken.
|Back at camp, a nice warm fire burns as the spring winds pick up.
|Today's ride starts at the parking area that you access by driving under #15 halfway between Coral Canyon and Harrisburg. After a short climb, turn left on Prospector trail.
|After an easy ride down the trail, you get to Church Rocks, a nice set of red slick rock where you can play on your mountain bike for hours. When you get tired of the slick rock, head back up Prospector to the TH. 4 hrs.
|Got a call from my DIL's dad saying he had some time in-between work and wanted to come down and have some fun with us. We said sure. He hooked up his Desert Fox TH and he and his girlfriend Cathy, headed down to Red Rock country.
|We always seem to run into snakes on our hikes. Can you spot the reptile so well camouflaged in the bush?
|Grab a boondock spot near the Paria Contact Station. Tom had heard about the Buckskin/Paria canyon and we all thought it would be fun to hike it.
|Nice glass of wine and a BBQ as the sun goes down. Pretty nice after 5 months of snow. The ranger said that there was no chance of rain forecasted but the Buckskin Canyon did have waist deep cold, muddy pools to wade through. Yummy!!.
|Next day is a short walk around the Toadstools which are just up the road from our camping spot. There are lots of these unusual formations in this area. Lots of tourists because of the short distance to walk from the TH.
|Before we hike down the canyon, we take a short few hours to hike the Toad Stools which were just up the road from our camping area. This is looking at a dry wash from a ridge near the toad stools. #89 is in the back ground.
|First choke stone on the Wire Pass part of the hike. A little scrambling required.
|Knew we would reach this cold muddy water at some time. The girls down to their underwear. It is probably 45F at the bottom and 85F up on the plateau as the sunlight seldom gets to the bottom. Must of waded through 20 of these pools.
|Pat though to give the hike a miss but Dave, Cathy and Tom start scrambling down the rock bands to try and find a way to this plateau between the rivers.
|Looking back, you can just make out our trailers and trucks in the top left 1/3rd of the photo. The cliff bands look small from here but without the ladder, we would not have been able to proceed to this point.
|We wave to Pat who has the glasses on us as she sips coffee in her camp chair. The hike back was no big deal.
|As Tom and Cathy has only limited time left before heading home, we thought that a trip to Needles might be nice. Pulled into a nice boondock spot and set up for the night.
|Next day we drive into Canyonlands National Park(Needles) and park at the Elephant Hill TH. Today's hike will take us out on the Chestler Park trail. Cathy squeezing through a tight slot canyon.
|The Needles. We have found that most of the hikes in the park are quite easy but the scenery is very special and of course the colours unique.
|Pat looking down on a canyon that will take us eventually to Druid Arch.
|Looks a lot like Stone Henge hence the name "Druid Arch".
|Looking back down the valley we hiked up with the contrasting red and beige layers of rock standing guard. The hike back was not difficult, just an easy ramble. It is the colours and shapes of the rock formations that really make this park stand out.
|We drive to Moab and get a boondock spot off of #313. While Cathy and Tom go exploring Moab, Pat and Dave go for a hike to Fishers Towers. This will be their first time and the walls of rock are pretty amazing.
|Pat at the end of the trail looking down over the valley.
|It is a favourite hiking area but people actually climb these towers.
|From the lookout, the rugged canyons and valleys of Fisher creek.
|Looking back down to the Colorado River which is that green fringed area and #128, which is at the bottom of those cliffs. The hiking trail out follows directly below those tall spires on the right..
|Our friends that were with us in Madera Canyon and Tucson arrive at the boondocking spot as do Tom and Cathy. Tom and Sandra, also from Vernon, have a Bigfoot camper.
|Next day , as things were getting warmer, Pat and Dave hike up Mill Creek. This is one of the lower pools that someone is having a lot of fun in. We bump into lots of families and kids.
|Lots of kids diving in these pools which is around 1/2 hour hike below where we turned around.
|Next day, Tom, Sandra Dave and Pat head off from camp and ride along the road turning right on Big Lonely, then right again on Chisholm until we arrive at the Horse Thief CG. Keep going until we cross #313 and then onto Getaway.
|Lunch break part way down 7Up with Monitor and Merrimac Buttes in the background.
|Heading down 7Up we run into the Navajo Rocks trails and crossing #313 again. From the parking area , up to Lone Mesa and right on the road back to the campsite. A long 4 hour ride.
|The winds have been pretty strong up at our boondock spot so after the weekend, we decided to try camping down lower along the Colorado at Gold Bar CG. Very little wind and the temps are warmer as we have dropped almost 1500'.
|This is our view from the camp chairs as the sun starts to set.
|Today, sadly will be our last mountain bike ride in Moab.Tom leaves his truck at a parking area at the Couthouse Wash TH and the 4 bikes along with the 4 riders, Pat,Dave,Tom, Sandra get shuttled up to the TH at the top of Getaway just off #313.
|Its a blast down to the TH for Bull Run. This is typical of the canyon we follow. Mostly slick rock with lots of ledgy sections.
|This is the view we have in the morning as we sip our coffee watching the fishermen head out in their boats.
|Pat ridding down towards #7702 after climbing all the way up from the ski lodge to the lookout on 4 The Boyz.
|Pat viewing the valley from the Rosy Boa trail. Lots of clay, flowey single track as we make our way back to the lodge.
|The trail heads out to the point left of the rocky knob and then intersects with 4 The Boyz.
|Pretty typical Cascade mountain scenery. Snowy peaks, steep valleys. The trail up was good but fairly steep in places. We are in pretty good shape after some of the hikes done down south so we hiked up to the snow in no time.
|Got fairly close to the pass behind us before turning back due to snow. In the summer, it is a nice hike over the pass, past some lakes , then down into Leavenworth.
|Heading down through an old burn.
|Time to head back home. This is Pateros which is situated along the mighty Columbia river. Fruit is king here and the climate has changed to semi arid compared to the interior wet belt in Leavenworth.

The scent of the Oaks mixed with the ink from my life's work as I entered the forest. In the trees, I envisioned worlds that would never be if I allowed my empathy to stay my choice. Each book printed cost a life.
Their life.
Fear, palpable as my racing pulse, infused.
I steeled my heart to their plight as pleas of mercy clawed me. A mercy I could not extend. One would be sacrificed, if not me by another.
"Pick me."
Faint as a whisper I heard it, followed its second and third cry. The deep baritone called me until I stood at the base of a thick trunk, its branches reaching high.
A breeze blew my bark-colored hair to dance with the canopy of leaves.
"Pick me," it cried again.
I touched the roughness and…
Days passed.
A gangly boy entered my forest his apron ink-splattered.
I called out in my soprano voice, "Pick me."
This flash fiction was written for a prompt "darkened empathy" at Rebecca Clare Smith's Journal 34th #SatSunTails and included a picture prompt. Please visit her site for other wonderful 155 word stories.

It only takes one viewing of 1958's Mon Oncle or 1967's Play Time to be convinced that writer-director-star Jacques Tati was one of the great screen comedians of the 20th century, a French filmmaker whose recurring cinematic character, the bumbling Monsieur Hulot, was as beloved in some quarters as Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp and Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau. Tati passed away in 1982, but now he returns sort of with The Illusionist, a French import that's up for the Best Animated Feature Film Oscar.
Adapted by writer-director Sylvain Chomet (The Triplets of Belleville) from a screenplay that Tati penned but never filmed, this centers on a Tati-inspired magician struggling to find an audience for his old-fashioned brand of entertainment in the late 1950s. Traveling to a small village in Scotland, he meets young Alice, who believes he practices real magic and soon becomes his surrogate daughter.
It's a shame Tati never made this during his heyday, because as a live-action motion picture starring the man himself, it might have been a classic. As it stands, it's a lovingly crafted film that smoothly alternates between being bittersweet and simply sweet, yet the occasionally aloof visual style frequently keeps it at arm's length from our emotions. In short, there's enough magic on view to recommend it, but not enough to declare that it stands with the best of Tati.
