Mary Wise 2/14/01
I just discovered that you replied to my message some 30 months ago! Sorry not to have noticed sooner.
I descend from one of the bad guys. Barton Lovelace is almost certainly my 5G grandfather. (My father's mother was a Loveless--same family, different spelling.) It is not clear whether a trial was held that resulted in Barton's and John's acquittal. They may have fled the area. If we are interpreting the records correctly, Barton married again in 1798 in TN and was on some KY tax rolls in the early 1800s. Then he disappears. He was probably dead by 1820 or so.
John Compton may have been a wartime buddy. Both Compton and Lovelace are members of Capt. Aeneas Campbell's unit, formed 1776 in Maryland.

Bird Photo Workflow in Lightroom
I have just recently purchased the standalone version of Lightroom 6 to get more into RAW photography and processing. By moving to RAW files, I'd like to keep all my editing in LR and not have to go back and forth with PS. My question to all photographers on this forum that shoot RAW is this; What adjustments do you make when using Lightroom and what goes through your head while you're processing bird photos? Do you make local adjustments? What do you adjust? How do you go about NR and Sharpening? Do you have presets you use when you import RAW photos rather than Adobe's default (which mainly just applies sharpening to correct the effects of the AA filter)? How do you achieve accurate colors? I know I'm just a novice Lightroom user and that it's a very powerful program, but I'd like to compare different photographers workflows for processing bird photos to get an idea for what I should do and what I may be doing wrong. Thanks in advance for your input.

My workflow isn't exactly scientific or pushing the boundaries yet gives me what I need for viewing/posting images online. So, not suggesting this is right for everyone but works for me.
Import Image
Using graph, I play with exposure if required (I try to expose histogram to the right from the camera if I can)
I may tone down highlights and/or lift some of the shadows
Adjust horizon? De-spot any unwanted blotches? (rarely for both)
I rarely adjust WB or colour sliders but I will add a small degree of Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation if it adds to the "punch"
I then use some degree of Sharpening in tandem with NR and depending on background, I will try Mask to get a balance between subject sharpened and background with NR.
I then export as Jpg
In PS I will re-size and check if a small degree of Unsharp Mask helps any?
save as copy
I generally don't print or re-size in LR
LR for me is quite resource hungry and my PC struggles where I try to apply localised changes using brushes etc but with more Gb memory, I could rely less on PS for final touches.

Just started using LR myself, but since response to your post has been limited thus far I'll chime in with quick review of what I've been doing thus far:
Flag rejects and delete from disk (raw files take up a lot disk space)
Flag keepers
Process only keepers (leave unflagged pics)
Apply "punch" LR preset and see if it improves things; occasionally adjust related sliders (clarity, vibrance, saturation) if the preset affect suggests the need
Various adjustments depending on the photo: Higlights/shadows, exposure, luminance noise/detail, cropping, and rarely contrast
For sharpening I mostly just adjust the amount slider. Haven't found unsharp mask very helpful
For local adjustments I use the brush, e.g. to decrease noise reduction on the bird itself, or increase sharpening on the bird only (note that local sharpening is limited to amount slider adjustment)
Export as JPEG

So far mine has been;
Flag rejects and delete from disk (same as Jim so far)
Adjust Temp and Exposure
Bump up the contrast slightly
Set White and Black point (using Alt key)
Highlights/shadows if necessary
Sometimes I adjust vibrance/clarity, but usually I stay away from both
Adjust Tone curve is needed, especially to bring down blown highlights
Noise Reduction and Sharpening, masking sharpening to only the bird.
Correct chromatic aberration
So far I haven't exported any, and keep the edited photos in the Catalog. If I'll post the image on the web or print it then I'll export it accordingly.

I do my culling before importing RAW files into LR. Faststone image viewer does a much faster job showing images with sufficient detail to decide on keeper or not than loading everything into LR and waiting for the previews to be generated just to delete some right away.
Next I change the file name to my default file name pattern, a shot from today would be 20160123 wherever xxxx (xxxx = original 4-digit file number from camera).
Then I import surviving shots into LR and automatically apply matching keywords for cataloging, the process version, the camera profile of choice, and lens corrections. The last three are on the bottom of the develop module.
The ones selected as top keepers after a secondary screening in LR (rating and flagging and more deleting) will be edited as required for WB first, as this affects some of the following when done later and may require revisiting these editing points. All the exposure parameters, clarity saturation, straighten and crop, clone stamping if required, sharpening and noise reduction last (hint: push the alt key while using the masking slider to see where in the image sharpening is applied), sometimes with local adjustments.
If I do more editing at a later time (e.g. BW versions) I start out with a virtual copy to keep the original edit unaltered.
For use on displays I export jpg files using the export menue, for prints I export jpg files using the print module as it offers additional settings that I find useful.
Since LR5 I also like the slideshow module and the mp4 videos it generates for the occasional presentation in meetings and shows.
For a long time I use the web module to generate the galleries for my website. Howeve3r, learned to stay away from the flash galleries and just stick to html as more and more platforms do not support flash anymore and visitors just see an error message.

I import, having deleted all but keepers in the camera first. When developing, occasionally I alter bright/dark slider, exposure at this stage, but hardly ever touch highlights. I will deepen tones such as sky and water using the HSL feature. I then mask the portion to be sharpened but leave the sharpening to the end. I enable lens profile and upright connections, then add a -15 vignette. I change the camera profile, normally to Camera standard but sometimes portrait. Then I slide sharpness to about 50, detail far enough to see the texture on the bird, then luminance noise reduction until the noise disappears. I move the slider on smoothness left to add realism, then go to white balance. I change this by clicking on the picture and typing W; this brings up an eye-dropper with a panel underneath it with RGB and percentages for each. I move this to a portion of the picture (equivalent to an 18pc grey card) where the R G and B percentages are similar; on the left is a preview of the picture showing the effects. When I find one I like I click on it and then export the pic. At a late stage I may increase clarity slightly but hardly ever touch vibrancy.

now slightly refined with experience - the workflow is essentially top to bottom in the right-hand boxes, so in basic there's a chance to alter (normally cool) the colour temp, up the contrast, then slid the white slider right while holding hold down alt/option until just before the pixels show, then the same but to the left with the blacks slider . also alter exposure if necessary, then up slightly on clarity and vibrance, then from there as above

Initial review process
Thanks to you folk I have decided to give lightroom trial a trail.
First hitch - how to carry out that initial review to throw out all the blurry shots? To do this I need to scroll through at 100% one phot at a time and decide which ones get a flag or reject. But I can only see the small previews in library. How do I scroll through one at a time at full size?
Also, a logical thing would be to quickly make a first crop, keeping same shape, for the keepers - my birds are small distant shorebirds.
Can I do these things in Library, or can I scroll through and use flags in Develop? At this point I can't see how to get to the next photo in develop without switching back to the library.
Also, is there a function that will allow me to delete the rejects from the drive, not just Lightroom.
Getting an initial review/selection process working efficiently is my number one problem - without it I just end up taking 1000s of shots and then give up.
Assistance/suggestions appreciated.

I do all sifting, tagging, rating and deleting my rejections from disk in the Library module. You can view one by one in library and do comparisons between images.
I tend not to step into Develop module until I've finished weeding out and judging my better keepers.
When I started out I was recommended Scott Kelby's book which I found really helpful.

In order to crop you have to go to the develop module. But as the others have said you can view at whatever resultion you like in the Library module.
Also, you can always have the film strip at the bottom of your window, and in the Library module that allows you to move from one picture to the next. Alternatively you can use the left or right arrow on your keyboard.
I would second buying a book to get a good overview of the availabel features, and to help finding a workflow. Lightroom is very powerful, and if you want to use it to manage your photos it's a good idea to better understand what it offers.
For past incarnations I've used one of Scott Kelby's books, and also one of Martin Evening's. Kelby has a sense of humour, but it grated a bit on me, and he felt a bit more haphazard in terms of what he explained where. There are lots of useful tips though. I found Evening's approach more serious and more systematic. Both were very useful to me at the time (I bought different ones for different versions Lightroom when there had been a big change).

A few queries
Hello again
I have got started. Have ordered the Kelby book, but it will take a while to arrive given my location (Palau).
So in the meantime I have a few queries
Because birds are distant, for a large proportion of my photos I only need to keep the central portion, usually less that ¼ of the area. Is there a way to:
a) Apply an initial crop on all photos, or a selected group of photos
b) Then review and adjust each one. At the same time I would rate, and flag rejects
A third step that might be desirable would be to apply the crops to the original photos. If possible this would vastly reduce storage space needs.
The zoom lever in library is very small and hard to move accurately with the mouse. Example, I find moving from 1:2 to 1:1 quite difficult to execute.
Clicking the mouse on the photo seems to zoom in and back out, but only between the last two settings Lightroom seems to remember what these are. So if I last used the lever to switch from 1:1 to 1:3 the mouseclick on the photo alternates between those. But if I need to go to 1:2, it is back to that difficult zoom lever.
What would be much easier would be a single keystrokes to move in and out one step at a time, so I could quickly zoom in and out with repeated keystrokes. Ideally two keys side by side on my keyboard. Does Lightoom have something like that? If not can I set custom quick-keys.
Aperture settings
In lightroom Develop panel, Metadata shows Exposure, Focal length, ISO, but it doesnt show Aperture. One of the things I to learn to understand is how aperture differences are impacting the look of my photographs. Is there something I have to change to get aperture to show in the metadata list?
Develop History
When I am trying to figure out my crops, Lightoom saves every change in the history, even the accidental mistakes. Is there a way to drop all the interim back and forth changes and choose only to save selected points in the develop history, and drop all the rest. Alternatively, is there a way to flag specific points in the develop history, so I can find those again easily.

Go getting NIK Software suite (Pro Shaperner 3, Color Efex, ect...). It's free now. All the usual procedures like contrast adjusting, sharpening, local contrast, local sharpening etc... will be a charm and take a lot less time than cumbersome Lightroom/Photoshop proecedures.

Thanks Jim.
In library, View options gives two tabs [Grid View] and [Loupe View].
Under loupe View "Show info Overlay" is ticked and there is selection for Info1 and Info2, and below with "use defaults off to the right on each.
I have tried changing some of the selections within these, but no change occurs on the metadata.
This is Lightroom 6.
Am I doing the correct thing? It doesn't seem believable that I cannot see F-stop readings easily, so I am figuring I must be missing a piece of knowledge.

Ah - have just seen that the settings are now showing as an overlay on the right corner of the photo in loupe view. Helpful. Still seems odd that I cannot get theaperture to show with the rest of the Metadata on the right though.

What a week it has been! Hermana Martinez had changes and I got a new companion!!
La Hermana Ixchajchal. Yes. Try to pronounce her name again. Im still struggling.
She is wonderful!! She has the same time as me in the mission- and is from Guatamala. We joke that we are the same person just with different skin tones. Needless to say we get along great. The days have been filled with constant laughter and running as we have had soo much to do!
We had a baptims this last week. For Victor Areas Castillo. He is amazing, let me introduce him some what. He doesnt live in our area but is working for a member in our area and so he is coming to our church. He actually lives about 30 minutes away in car- up in the mountain. Last Sunday he didnt have enough money to come to church- so what did he do? He left at 5:30 walking... so that he could get to church by 9. When I called him on the phone to make sure that he was awake to come, he told me that he was walking. I couldnt hold back the tears. What an example for all of us. He has changed ever so much in these last few weeks and his baptism this saturdaywas wonderful!
Haha fun fact about Victor is, he lives next to his boss... and his boss has........ over 50 dogs. If you can just imgaine. Its on my bucketlist to take a picture. haha teaching the lessons is always a riot.
We also had the WONDERFUL opportunity to have Elder Cook come and visit our mission! It was wonderful to hear from him and to meet him. As he took the time to shake every one of our hands. He talked about love, and the love that we need to culutivat to have success in this life.
We also met a family today! When we were walking they turned around to talk to us because they felt like they needed too! We went straight to their house and had a lesson! It reminded me of a quote that I heard - they day will come when those that are chosen will look for us.
I am so grateful to be a missionary! I love everyday! I love my companion and I love this work!
and i hope that you all have a wonderful week :)

- 1 Policy, Evaluation and Reporting Advisor and 1 Systems Administrator report to the Chief of Policy.
Officials of the Department were directly involved in the application of the ATIA by making recommendations concerning the disclosure of records and by ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Act.
The stages for processing requests are as follows:
Stages for Processing Requests – Text version
This flowchart tracks the processing life cycle of an Access to Information request. Once a request has been received, it is analyzed and a search for relevant records is conducted. The records that are found are reviewed in light of recommendations that have been received. The records are then prepared for release as a response package. Once the response package has been finalized, it is reviewed and approved by the ATIP Director. Upon approval, the response package is sent out to the requester.
Administrative Issues
Salary and Administrative Expenditures
A total of 18 full-time equivalents were utilized on a full-time basis in the administration of the ATIA. The salary expenditures amounted to $1,364,395.
The administrative expenditures amounted to $312,416, which included professional services contracts.
These costs do not include resources expended by the Department's other sectors to meet the requirements under the ATIA.
The Department of Justice continues to strive to provide leadership and improve its performance in order to maintain the highest standards of service. For fiscal year 2016-17, the ATIP Office has accomplished the following:
- As part of the Department of Justice's commitment to increased openness and transparency, the Department is now publishing briefing material titles submitted to the Minister's and Deputy Minister's Office on its Website on a monthly basis. The process uses an automated system that streamlines the review process currently used to respond to access to information requests and enables the publication of this information to all Canadians rather than to individual requesters only;
- The Department of Justice continues to post its annual reports to Parliament to the Department's website as well as the summaries of the completed requests on the Open Government Portal, thereby improving communications with requesters and promoting transparency. This practice is in accordance with the Treasury Board Secretariat's directives and policies and with the 10 principles of practice outlined on the ATIP Office's website for the public;
- To reduce internal processing timelines and paper consumption, when appropriate, the ATIP Office used SharePoint, a Web application platform, for the transfer of information with the Offices of Primary Interest;
- To better serve Canadians, the Department of Justice continued to be part of the Access to Information and Privacy Online Request Pilot Project. Canadians can continue to submit requests under the ATIA through an online channel. This channel also incorporates the Receiver General Buy Button service, enabling requesters to pay the requisite $5.00 application fee for access to information requests, which avoids the need to mail in a personal cheque with their request. The button also allows for substantial economy on the administrative processing of a physical cheque;
- To ensure that the consultation process remains as efficient as possible, the Department developed guidelines for the ATIP community that clarify the ATIP Office's role in requests that have been received by other federal government institutions pursuant to the ATIA. Additionally, the Office has updated and communicated its service standards to assist the community in estimating the turnaround time for consultations with the Department. The timeframes continue to be reviewed periodically to ensure that they remain current;
- Continued to develop internal guidance documents and tools to ensure consistency, and to document best practices and lessons learned. These guidance documents are routinely discussed at regular staff meetings and updated as required;
- Continued to update its internal procedures in order to process ATIA requests more efficiently and to share its best practices with other government institutions; and
- Continued to reduce paper consumption by printing double-sided, as well as providing release packages electronically to requesters when appropriate.
Education and Training
ATIP officers regularly provide advice and informal training on the application of ATIP legislation to departmental employees who must review relevant records requested under the ATIA.
Formal awareness information sessions are also offered to other sectors within the Department. Particular emphasis is placed on those aspects of the Act that are directly related to the employees' areas of responsibility. Two sessions were provided this fiscal year (a total of 20 participants).
The Centre for Information and Privacy Law (CIPL) also offered training to 121 departmental employees:
- Cabinet Confidences Training (2 sessions for a total of 61 participants – ATIP Designated Counsels, Legal Counsels and Paralegals)
- Fiscal Forum Training – (Panel related to litigation and Access to Information related issues – 60 participants)
In addition, formal training was offered through the Department of Justice's Learning Program, to an additional 111 employees:
- ATIP Fundamentals – 2016 (2 sessions for a total of 45 participants)
- Solicitor-Client Privilege Training (2 sessions for a total of 66 participants)
ATIP training is part of the recommended courses under the values and ethics component of the Department's Roadmap for new Managers. An e-orientation deck is posted on the Department's Intranet site for employee consultation.
The CIPL also provided information sessions outside the Department of Justice, to other government institutions (total of approximately 28 participants):
- Cabinet Confidences Training (16 Officials from Employment and Social Development Canada and Veterans Affairs Canada)
- Solicitor-Client Privilege Training (12 Legal Counsels at the Privy Council Office)
ATIP employees regularly participate in collective awareness sessions with ATIP Counsel to review recent jurisprudence and case law related to the ATIA. The ATIP Counsel participates in monthly ATIP Practice Group meetings during which information is exchanged and viable solutions are proposed. The Practice Group is open to all departmental counsel, including those from Legal Services Units, and its mandate is to discuss questions such as the right of access to information or privacy issues.
In addition to mentorship and partnership relationships, workshops and presentations are also regularly provided within the ATIP Office on various topics concerning the application of the ATIA and related policy and procedures. This allows ATIP employees to benefit from each other's respective levels of experience and knowledge.
Finally, ATIP employees participate in training sessions, conferences and seminars organized by the Treasury Board Secretariat or by various associations on matters relating to both access and privacy. These exchanges provide updates for employees in the development of ATIP and upcoming trends in this area.

Cheese and beer make an excellent combination and you don't have to be a beer drinker to enjoy these cheeses. Different beers have different flavors and the combination with different types of cheese, washed rind, cheddar, mustard seeds make this assortment attractive.
Red Dragon; a Welsh cheddar with ale and mustard seeds. The cheese inside the red wax is almost spreadable (8 oz.).
Chimay with Trappister Beer; a Belgian washed rind cheese with a presence, semi soft and wonderful on crackers, burgers (8 oz.).
Raspberry BellaVitano; an Wisconsin award-winning cheese that is soaked in New Glarus Raspberry Tart Ale. This hard cow's milk cheese has the texture of a asiago (5.3 oz.).
AleHouse Cheddar; a classic Vermont Cheddar cheese that is submerged in Munich Dark and IPA from the local artisan Harpoon� brewery. The curds that have absorbed the ale give the cheddar a nice aroma and a flavor that balances nuts, hops and sweet notes (8 oz.).
We added a package of Cracked Pepper Crisps that goes well with the flavorful cheeses.
Please note that we will substitute any item that is temporarily out of stock with a similar item of equal or greater value.

Feeling Like a Beginner Again: Using Web 2.0 Apps, Week Three
Week three with Web 2.0 gets trickier and slightly frustrating for web accessibility expert Lucy Greco. Read the post to find how she navigates Web 2.0 interfaces using a screen reader.
Image: There are plenty of times where I'm really not sure what's going on or how to accomplish tasks on my computer using Web 2.0 apps.
As the title of this post says, in some ways I definitely feel like a beginner again. I can honestly say that I haven't had one session with the computer that went smoothly or easily. Some of it pertains to screen reader issues and some others just not knowing what to do. I'm very thankful, however, that every application I use has easy to use keyboard command lists.
I realized while reading over my last two posts, Beginning with Web 2.0 Experiment and Working with Web 2.0 Apps, that I neglected to tell you what choices I have made in the process of setting up this project. I will be doing all my work within the Firefox browser as overall, I found it to be the most responsive and easy to use. Most of all I appreciate how easy it is to spell check within Firefox using a screen reader. I am not very familiar with Google Chrome and I felt that jumping into a new browser now would be too much more to add to this process of experimenting with Web 2.0 apps. Also, the work Marco Zehe has been doing at Mozilla is definitely worth committing time to using.
Now for a brief discussion on some of the problems I am still facing. Let me begin with Gmail. When I use JAWS, I find that navigating the inbox works fairly well. Occasionally I find that I must use the J and K keys to navigate messages and that other times the arrow keys work just as well. Opening a message has only been about 85% reliable using both screen readers. At times, I will hit Enter to open a message and nothing happens. As I arrow through the message list, NVDA does tell me that the messages are opened or closed but I'm still not sure what that really means. Once I have opened the message with JAWS I turn on the virtual cursor to read the messages. I have found no other way with JAWS to get to the body of the messages.
I do not need to change to the equivalent of virtual mode within NVDA as frequently because it seems to have a much better understanding of when I need to navigate with keyboard shortcuts or when I just want to read the text. I believe NVDA is detecting the application mode much more reliably than JAWS is.
One of the problems I have had with NVDA occurs during the process of composing a message. My practice is to type the message up as quickly as I can and then go back to the beginning and read it slowly to look for spelling mistakes or any other edits. Consistently I have found that when I am replying to a message there seems to be a few silent lines within what is being called the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) frame. I am not able to read within that frame.
On the other hand, the micro-blogging platform Twitter has been much simpler to navigate. The only problems I have had with it in the last two days are when I forget to use the tab key to move to the Tweet button and just try hitting enter when sending a tweet. Overall Twitter gets easier to use. There are still some issues that need to be resolved but the developers have assured me that they're on it. The Twitter accessibility developer has been extraordinarily supportive and responds to all my tweets with comments on the interface.
Tomorrow I go back to work after a three-day weekend. If I make it through till Friday without using Outlook or basic HTML I think I have a chance at succeeding at this challenge. In the meantime, the 4-inch stack of Braille paper I'm carrying around with me will get worn and tattered. Oh yes, did I forget to mention that I Brailed all the keyboard shortcuts I thought I would need for this experiment?! I could've probably halved this if I didn't also include the Mac commands. But I do expect to try this on the Mac over the coming days. Thanks for reading and keep the comments coming!

Goodbye now, meet someone better

Ret. Col. Says UFOs Are Real, but Denies Government Cover-Up
Whether you believe or disbelieve the notion that UFOs are visitors from another planet, a former highly decorated military officer now comes forward with information that may infuriate those on both sides in the ongoing ET debate.
Retired Col. John Alexander, using his military savvy and high security clearance, spent a quarter of a century going through the top levels of the U.S. government and military searching for the group of people who were allegedly responsible for UFO information and the supposedly decades-old UFO cover-up.
His conclusions: Not only is there no such group and no cover-up, but disclosure about UFOs has already occurred on different official levels.

Centre mulls on creation of central agency to investigate terror casesNovember 29th, 2007 - 9:35 pm ICT by admin
New Delhi, Nov 29 (ANI): A special meeting of the Consultative Committee of the Union Home Ministry was held here today to discuss the creation a central law enforcement agency or federal investigation agency to investigate cases of terrorism and other related crimes that have inter-State and international ramifications.
Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil chaired the meeting.
"Whenever some incident takes place in a State, the Government of India is expected to take action, but Police and Public Order being state subjects, the Centre has its own limitations. It has, therefore, become necessary to discuss the need for a Central agency to investigate certain types of crimes and the manner in which it should be done," a release from the Home Ministry stated.
During the meeting, members said that a proper law should be framed for a central agency to investigate such cases.
The final decision in this regard is expected to be taken after consultations with the State Governments. (ANI)

you think balloning 2 times a day for 10-20 minutes it too much?
- 08-29-2011 #2
Ballooning or edging twice a day shouldn't be a problem but you should go for 20 minutes minimum if you want it to be effective.
RaiderIf you don't want to date me - that's fine, I get that, but you're wrong and I hate you.

Start out with reaching ponr a few times and as you get better you can push it closer and closer to the edge. Take short breaks or slow down after you have been close to the edge, then continue and repeat. When you get more experienced and better at it, push it all the way to the edge and the ponr and try holding back with kegels.
If you practice kegels too, that will help. When you ede, you can come in the end, and the longer you have edged, the harder you ejaculate. When you balloon, you don`t come in the end, just so you know the difference if you didn`t already

This is a repost, a series of my articles on Valentine's Day..
"You don't remember me, but I remember you. T'was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two. Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you..."
Just adding drama to it, of course, hehehe!
Just to paraphrase from another song I used to listen ~ "A tear fell when I saw you in the arms of someone new.. a tear fell when you left me all alone and feeling blue.. a tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me..."... A fool was I, a fool was I ..... in love." LOL!
Our high school batch reunion video presentation still makes me smile! Lots of pictures there of my batchmates and a growing list of former classmates added on Facebook. I remember the last year when we had our high school reunion in 2008. One picture made me go back in time when I was so foolishly in love with love itself that I was super-infatuated with this particular guy from my class. He's the guy I call Brendon in these series of entries from '88. I'm just saying this because it's not him that I would truly like to remember, but to remember what a carefree person I once was. These tons of memories are always with me even on friend's birthdays, valentines, Christmas, New Year and every HS reunion.
In retrospect, I tell you if Cupid's existence was real, well then the love bug hit me then. It just hit me because of all the circumstances that came my way, which led me to see the world with rose-colored glasses. Since that day in November 1987 and until we graduated he inspired me to go to school everyday (even on a Saturday and Sunday I'll go) OA ha!
How bad was it? How silly was I back then?
I thought of him at least every hour in a day. I dreamed of him often. I would wish every night that tomorrow will be The Day he will tell me he likes me (yes, back then I was a good old-fashioned girl, you get that from listening to Teresa Brewer). And true enough the following day would almost be the day I was praying for. ...Almost.... but we were always in class, surrounded by classmates, teachers and peers. And I thought he could never say that because (maybe) he might think he will embarrass me in front of a lot of people.
So I tried to get his attention anyhow, in other ways.... when he distributes workbooks in class, I'd pretend to accidentally hold on to his hand and say, "Whoops, I'm sorry" or if he borrows my homework to copy, I'd gladly lend it to him; if he borrows my pen I would do the same.... ahh, so many incidents. Yet, ugh, that was me?
But he NEVER got the message, not even when I sent him a pre-Valentine's card, he didn't search that well for me. I knew he showed the greeting card to our male classmates, just so he would know who sent it (he was trying to get clues thru the handwriting but I thought of that beforehand and asked a close friend to hand-write me that letter instead) He was even calling out for "Small Wonder" hoping maybe that "Small Wonder" would reply but hey, I never looked back at him. I knew he was seated at the far corner of the room, I kept a straight face pretending to be reading.
He never got the message, not even when his older brother courted me (after our JS prom) and he was the only link we had for communication. He was only playing matchmaker here, and I could just thank my lucky stars that at least he was talking to me now.
Just one day, he came near me, sat beside me and said in a "lovingly yours" fashion ~
"Chris... someone says "hello"....."
I smiled sweetly and said "Really? Who?" (can it be you?)
"My brother..." NYAIIKS!
Then he went on to build up his brother like he was recommending a valuable employee..... ending the conversation with, " So, will I tell him it's okay?.... He's going to see you on our graduation .... hey, he's a handsome dude... I'll tell him that you also have a crush on him!!" He was so loud that our classmates and adviser heard him, they teased us thinking it was him who was courting me (embarrassing!), he was so happy for his brother he actually jumped for joy!
I just smiled, shaking my head,telling myself, " oh no, if you only know..."
Yet, aargh, nothing came of it because.... there - back to that batch presentation video .......
a fool am I, a fool am I in love wahahaha
Lyrics Grease - Tears on My Pillow lyrics
FYI, I listened to these kind of songs when I was in high school and college kasi eh, so this is the song that comes to mind

Dear Gustabo:
I found out the other day that you are finally going to be a daddy! I am so happy for you! I really, really am! When I found out my eyes welled up with tears. I know how long you have been wanting and hoping for this baby! You're going to be a great daddy! And I can only imagine how euphoric your family is!
My only regret is that I cannot share this happiness with you. Circumstances beyond my control keep me at bay. No worries. It is what it is. Just know that the bond we shared one day, still remains in my heart.
***Gustabo is a name I use for most if not all of my male "characters" to protect the innocent and the not so innocent***

just found your blog and have added it because I know I am soon intending to venture in to doing a Tau Army with an Airbrush! Is the Badger Minitaire Paint Range something worth looking at? or do you have any other recommendations?Replies
I have some of Vallejo Model Air colours but cannot find a bright enough green that I want to use for my Tau army that I have planned. I am thinking that the Minitaire Gremlin Green may do the trick. Any recommendations for bright and vibrant green airbrush paints?ReplyDelete

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars – David Bowie
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
(1972), 9/10
In a career of constantly changing costumes, Ziggy Stardust is Bowie's most recognisable guise, and the accompanying album is the peak of his early career. Switching gears from the balladry of Hunky Dory, Bowie is a glam rock star, and the focus is on Mick Ronson's riffs. The story running through the album is not particularly coherent, but it's a great bunch of individual songs.
'Five Years' sets the scene with building tension that releases into a singalong chorus about how the world is going to end in five years; the song became an important touchstone for the 1977 punk movement, which emerged five years after Ziggy Stardust, with Bowie one of the few rock stars to enjoy credibility from the punk generation. Absolute classics include the riff driven title track, the music hall of 'Starman', the aggressive 'Suffragette City', and 'Moonage Daydream', while Ziggy Stardust ends on a cathartic note with 'Rock'n'Roll Suicide', which contrasts the escapist themes of the album with the pain of the real world.
But for Ziggy Stardust as a whole, its blatantly insincere approach is part of its uniqueness and charm.
The Rykodisc version appends a fabulous solo acoustic demo of the title track, as well as the memorable 'Velvet Goldmine' and the controversial 'John, I'm Only Dancing', and is worth tracking down if you can find it.

There are a number of different types of contract and agreements in the music business but the most important are:
Copyright Assignment
An assignment is the outright transfer of ownership and usually for the life of copyright. You can only assign (transfer) copyright in writing to a third party. A songwriter can transfer copyright (ownership) in existing and future compositions to a music publisher. An artist can transfer copyright for recordings to a record company.
The owner of a licensed work will still own the rights to the work (the copyright) but will grant permission for someone else to use them. It is like a 'loan' period in which the licensee can exploit the material for an agreed deal – this could be a fee or a profit share. The owner retains copyright but grants rights to licensee for set period
Personal Services
A management contract would be an example of this as it is a service agreement only. There is no exchange of copyright (unless you do a record deal with your manager) and the contract is not specifically enforceable in law e.g. you can't be forced in law to have a certain manager. A manager does however have the right to compensation and if a relationship breaks down and this agreement may decide the level of damages. It protects the manager in this way so if you 'sack' them you may still have to pay them for work up to that point – and possibly into the future.
There are other contracts that cover things like production agreements, live music, and merchandise and distribution agreements. For more on these and the above read:
