I've been thinking about starting a blog for quite a while, so I'm finally taking the leap! My life has been pretty interesting (even if I do say so myself) up to this point, and I don't see that changing anytime in the near future. I get so many questions about what I'm up to and how I've navigated different parts of both my personal and professional lives that it seems like sharing my experiences might be useful to others.
"Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't." ~Bill Nye
As I start this journey, I plan to write about how I navigate the fun and the not-so-fun parts of life. You'll learn a little about everything I learn about, and I learn something new EVERY day. I'll share my personal and professional evolution, occasionally talk about my past (it's inevitable), and throw a little bit of random in every now and then. Quotes, books, and technology will be major themes, but you won't read much about TV, what I ate for any meal, or know every intimate detail of what I did with my time all day long.
Join me on the journey and engage how you want. If there is a topic you want me to cover or a story you want me to tell, use the contact form to request it. "Like" away on my posts and feel free to share with your own networks if you think information is useful. I'm naturally an introvert, so this is an excellent way for me to broaden my circle without social anxiety!
In the next several days, I plan to write about:
- The Desire Map
- Being an INTJ
- Designing your life
- StrengthsFinder
- The role quotes play in my life
Welcome and thanks for reading!

Meet Ron W. Walton
Ron W. Walton is a native of Cleburne, Texas. Ron earned his Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (B.S.I.T.) from East Texas State University, and his Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from Thurgood Marshall School of Law, in Houston, Texas.
Board Certified
Ron W. Walton is board certified in the area of Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. To be board certified in the program sponsored by the Supreme Court of Texas, Attorneys are required to demonstrate special competence by passing rigorous requirements pertaining to character, legal knowledge and experience. Attorneys must also receive the approval of judges and their peers. Less than three percent of attorneys in Texas are certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in the area of personal injury trial law.
State Bar College of Texas
Ron Walton is a member of the State Bar College of Texas. The purpose of this organization is to recognize lawyers who maintain and enhance their professional skills and the quality of their service to the public by significant voluntary participation in continuing legal education. Members of the College must complete at least double the minimum number of hours in continuing legal education as other lawyers.
Ron W. Walton is Rocky's younger brother by two years. He also grew up in Cleburne and far south Fort Worth, attending Everman High School. He volunteered for the US Marine Corp in 1968 and was on active duty for four years, serving in Viet Nam. Contrary to prior claims or rumors, the opportunity to see the Bob Hope USO Christmas show live was not the ONLY reason he went, but it was a great show.
After his military service, Ron worked in the electronics field as a production technician, service and repair technician, engineering technician and ultimately a research technician. He also attended Tarrant County College, UTA, and eventually East Texas State University, where he earned his B.S. in Industrial Technology in 1988. While at General Dynamics [now Lockheed-Martin], he worked as supervisor in the Robotics Lab and created milling machine programs to form aircraft parts. However, Ron was never completely satisfied by any of the career fields in which he had been engaged. When Ron was on a lay-off, Rocky persuaded him to become an attorney. Rocky needed the help and assured Ron that he would be a very good attorney if he applied himself. Ron decided to become an attorney since Rocky seemed to be having so much fun and had told Ron that it was very satisfying on many levels.
Ron then attended Texas Southern University's Thurgood Marshall School of Law and was admitted to the Texas State Bar in May of 1995. He joined his brother's firm, where he has been practicing law ever since. Under Rocky's tutelage, Ron received intensive training in all areas of personal injury trial law. As he was coached and supervised, Ron assisted in personal injury trials and eventually acted as lead attorney in personal injury trials and other matters.
After meeting the basic qualifications in an amazingly short time, Ron sat for the certification exam and became Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law only 5 years and 8 months after becoming an attorney. It is rare to have this accomplishment in such a short time, considering that an active practice of 5 years is a basic requirement, in addition to substantial trial experience, plus judge and peer reviews. In fact, fewer than 3% of Texas attorneys have that certification. Since certification, Ron is continuing to act as either second chair or as lead counsel in trials of the firm and in preparing cases to be tried or settled.
Ron is a very happy family man married to Janie and together they have four daughters, one son, four granddaughters, two sons-in-law, one daughter-in-law, one granddaughter and one grandson. Amazingly, all of these individuals reside in or near Tarrant County.
Other than practicing law, Ron's hobbies include traveling, frequent camping, family activities, surfing the internet, and playing Texas Hold-Em Poker.
The personal injury information offered and contained herein, regarding personal injury statutes and claimants' rights is general in scope. No attorney client relationship with our attorneys is hereby formed nor is the information herein intended as formal legal advice.

U.S. Astronauts Return to the Lunar Surface
November 19, 1969
by Richard W. Burden
Is it possible for humans to do more outside the earth's atmosphere than operate a satellite TV service, send a probe, or send a few people to plant a flag and come back quickly, or do some carefully prepared experiments packaged in small boxes aboard an earth-orbiting vehicle? In 1969, the United States still thought so. That's why, just four months after the first manned lunar landing, U.S. astronauts returned, this time to survey and gather samples from an area of the moon ranging up to a quarter-mile from the landing vehicle, in two 3-hour-plus sessions of extra-vehicular activity.
These missions suddenly stopped just a little over 3 years later, never to be resumed, until finally China starts a series of robotic lunar missions in 2007, completing the world's first successful soft lunar landing since 1972 in 2013. Richard Nixon was re-elected by a landslide in 1972, and was very eager to claim credit for the successful Apollo missions of his first term, so why did he nix them in his second term? Why wasn't the program restored after he was impeached and forced to resign in 1974? In 2010, President Barack Obama unlawfully impounded the funds for Project Constellation, declaring that we've already been to the moon and do not need to go back. (See also the overview of Project Constellation). Why do the people of the U.S.A. put up with this?
During the 1960s there were many top-level political assassinations that eliminated leaders who could be counted on to defend our civil liberties and our right to dignified employment. It's not hard to figure out who ordered these assassinations, and why, yet Confederate flags still fly, and the Albert Pike statue still stands in downtown D.C., protected and maintained by the National Park Service. And the British royalty, the creators of the Confederacy and of racist colonies worldwide, are always welcome in the United States. The Saudi royalty, another British royal creation, sponsors of terrorism with whom the British royalty collaborate closely, are also welcome. To understand why Americans caved in to tyranny so readily when their best leaders were assassinated, one has to look further back, to 1900, when British imperial agents Bertrand Russell and David Hilbert bullied professors into substituting formal logic or mathematics for the Socratic scientific method of hypothesis, accusing those who opposed, even Bernhard Riemann, of "lack of rigor". To be rigorous, then, meant to follow the rules of logic from presently accepted assumptions, which will surely prevent people from correctly identifying the assassins, as Edgar Allan Poe reveals in his short stories.
The soft landing of a sophisticated rover on the surface of Mars, powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator that will enable it to work day and night for several decades, if all the other systems last that long, is worth celebrating, but with nothing happening on the moon, this is not progress. The rover Curiosity on Mars does not employ any technology that had not been developed before or during the Apollo missions. Even the computer chips, which are much smaller and faster than anything that was available, at any price, in the 1960s and 70s, are just refinements of the technology that existed in the early 1960s: the silicon wafer. Because we have made no effort to industrialize the moon and exploit its resources, not only is our ability to do things on Mars crippled, the technological spinoffs from the space program today are little else than refinements of existing technologies. The U.S. space program has been reduced to banality through privatization, with one of the old astronauts infamously starring in an Axe deodorant commercial. And just to make sure the joy of discovery does not escape its coffin, collaboration with China in space missions is banned by the U.S. government!

She is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children living in this region through providing education, giving hope and showing them the love of Jesus Christ. While teaching children to read in a country with high illiteracy rates is challenging, she has persisted and now has a high percentage of the children reading! She also plays with them, sings to them and takes them to walk and swim along the Nile River.
In addition to working with children, Ellen has also worked with women in the region who were recently freed from slavery. She heard their stories, cried and prayed, and helped them with the reintegration process to freedom.
Through Ellen's work, Baylake UMC has provided financial resources for drilling wells for clean water, building a patient care facility that includes walls, a roof and flooring, provided bicycles to ministers and bibles to many. She has many friends in South Sudan who help her and care for her while she is working for God in the region. They even help her with transport via a boda boda…Ellen's favorite form of local transportation!
Ellen would love to have you join her on a mission trip or to help support her financially! You can contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com

Here's a luxurious salad that mixes flavours from around the world. Mesclun simply means a mixture of salad leaves, coming from the Provençal word for 'mixture'. It traditionally includes chicory, lamb's lettuce and dandelion leaves, but feel free to use any mix of greens. The dressing adds a Chinese twist.
Although this is an attractive, quality salad, I must stress that the sesame oil DOMINATES the entire salad and meal if you don't cut it at least by half (in my opinion). I also added a dash of fine sugar to the rice vinegar in order to boost the fruit's power while tempering the sesame oil. I tried serving this with arugula, as well as the mesclun mix, and both fared equally well with about 40-50 guests. - 28 Feb 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I personally liked this salad a lot, although I like to try new things. A guest said they preferred "regular' salad. If any modifications, I'd cut down just a little on the oil, and add chopped red onions. - 07 Dec 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
The dressing forthis was so easy - elements I always have in my kitchen - the mango added nice color and flavor. I used spinach from a bag. still really good. added some romaine for crunch. the dressing and mango are the punch, any greens would be honored to be adorned with that mix! - 01 Apr 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

It already has 1,600 grocery stores in 35 states. On Monday, Germany-based Aldi announced it plans to add 900 more across the United States to bring the low-cost supermarket chain to 2,500 by 2022. Along the way, it will add 25,000 U.S. jobs, the company says.
Aldi, whose U.S. headquarters are in Batavia, Ill., is upping the stakes in the ongoing grocery wars in this country, committing a new round of $5 billion in investment to expand over the next five years. Aldi entered the Tampa Bay market in 2008 and now operates 17 stores here, and a total of 107 so far in central and southern Florida. Aldi says many of existing stores will be remodeled and expanded.
Aldi's press release captures the company's mission. "Aldi continues to disrupt the U.S. grocery industry by providing customers with a smarter way to shop."
Such an aggressive growth strategy means Aldi will be on track to becoming the third-largest food retailer in the country by store count, behind the larger Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Kroger Co. and a growing threat to traditional food retailers. Publix, the highly successful No. 1 grocery by market share in Florida, operates just under 1,200 stores across the southeastern United States.
Aldi hopes to do here what it has done so far in Europe — watch its market share steadily grow while traditional supermarkets see theirs shrink.
The key? Cheaper pricing. When it first entered the Tampa Bay market nine years ago, Aldi claimed prices of about 15 percent below Wal-Mart or Target Supercenters offered in smaller-sized stores — typically 16,000 square feet and six aisles — with limited assortments.
A recent report from consulting firm Bain & Co. forecasts deep discount chains will grow in this country by up to 10 percent a year through 2020,. That's five times the rate of traditional grocers.
Aldi, brandishing the slogan "Simply Smart Shopping," relies heavily on its store brand goods to offer lower-priced fare. Traditional grocery chains argue comparisons with discounters on price are difficult because they stock name-brand goods that Aldi does not carry.
"We're growing at a time when other retailers are struggling," Aldi CEO Jason Hart stated. "We are giving our customers what they want, which is more organic produce, antibiotic-free meats and fresh, healthier options across the store, all at unmatched prices up to 50 percent lower than traditional grocery stores."
Experts point out it's no coincidence Aldi unveiled its expansion plan days before another German discounter, Lidl, is set to open its first ten U.S. stores on the East Coast as part of a multiyear expansion. Lidl, whose stores are similar to Aldi's, anticipates 100 U.S. stores by mid 2018 and a rumored 600 more down the road.

For most infants, the sucking of thumbs and pacifiers is a happy, everyday part of life. Since sucking is a natural, instinctual baby habit, infants derive a sense of comfort, relaxation, and security from using a thumb or pacifier as a sucking aid.
According to research from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), the vast majority of children will cease using a pacifier before the age of four years old. Thumb sucking can be a harder habit to break and tends to persist for longer without intervention. Children who continue to suck thumbs or pacifiers after the age of five (and particularly those who continue after permanent teeth begin to emerge) are at high-risk for developing dental complications.
How can thumb sucking and pacifier use damage children's teeth?
Pacifier and thumb sucking damage can be quite insidious. Both can be difficult to assess with the naked eye, and both tend to occur over a prolonged period of time. Below is an overview of some of the risks associated with prolonged thumb sucking and pacifier use:
Jaw misalignment – Pacifiers come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, most of which are completely unnatural for the mouth to hold. Over time, pacifiers and thumbs can guide the developing jaws out of correct alignment.
Tooth decay – Many parents attempt to soothe infants by dipping pacifiers in honey, or some other sugary substance. Oral bacteria feed on sugar and emit harmful acids. The acids attack tooth enamel and can lead to pediatric tooth decay and childhood caries.
Roof narrowing – The structures in the mouth are extremely pliable during childhood. Prolonged, repeated exposure to thumb and pacifier sucking actually cause the roof of the mouth to narrow (as if molding around the sucking device). This can cause later problems with developing teeth.
Slanting teeth – Growing teeth can be caused to slant or protrude by thumb and pacifier sucking, leading to poor esthetic results. In addition, thumb sucking and pacifier use in later childhood increases the need for extensive orthodontic treatments.
Mouth sores – Passive sucking is much less harmful than aggressive sucking. Aggressive sucking (popping sounds when the child sucks) may cause sores or ulcers to develop.
If you do intend to purchase a pacifier:
How can I encourage my child to stop thumb or pacifier sucking?
In most cases, children naturally relinquish the pacifier or thumb over time. As children grow, they develop new ways to self-soothe, relax, and entertain themselves. When thumb sucking or pacifier use persists past the age of five, a gentle intervention may be required.
Here are some helpful suggestions to help encourage the child to cease thumb sucking or pacifier use:
If the above suggestions do not seem to be working, your pediatric dentist can provide more guidance. Remember: the breaking of a habit takes time, patience, and plenty of encouragement!

decided to do something about it. I had braces for four years to prepare
me for orthognathic surgery. My maxillofacial surgeon moved my jaw
forward so my overbite would be corrected. After that healed, the braces
came off and I went to see Dr. Stewart. She said I was a perfect
candidate for porcelain veneers. After talking with her and seeing her
portfolio, she installed them.
Almost over night I went from not smiling at all to grinning like a
fool. I can tell you the exact moment I knew I had made the right
decision to do what I had done. About a month after Dr. Stewart had
finished with me, a complete stranger said, "You have a nice smile." It
was the first time in my life I had ever heard those words...ever. My
limited vocabulary prevents me from describing what those words meant to
me but my whole world was changed.
I am 42 years old and I have a nice smile. Would I do it all again?
Absolutely! Do I have any regrets? Absolutely not!
Thanks Dr. Stewart!
Stephen...with a PH!
Whenever people complain about their dentist or say they haven't been for a checkup in years, I tell them about Dr. Nancy Stewart and her great team. They're all friendly and professional, and the work they do is top-notch. For the past nine years, they have done both 'yearly maintenance' and cosmetic procedures on my teeth, and I get regular compliments on my smile! Leave your excuses at home and go see Dr. Nancy.
Kate Y. February 2007
Dr. Stewart may be the only dentist I have never been afraid to go to.
Everyone on her staff is informative, friendly and professional, and so is
she. Check out the photo board on your way out, too - she's the only dentist
I've ever met who gets flossing photos from her patients' vacations!

If you own an iPhone, or any Apple Device, downloading iTunes U will be for the best. iTunes U gives you access to an incredibly large library of courses and seminars given by professors from well-known universities.

Dictionary.com (Free)
You need to have Dictionary.com on your phone, for the biggest reason being that t lets you search for those words you are unsure about when you're writing that research paper. Never make the mistake of using a word you are uncertain about just because it sounds fancy and looks cool. Search for its etymology and its meaning before using it. This app is also a great help for when you are playing Scrabble and other word games with your friends!

One of the best and most well-known softball gear companies in the world, Worth has been releasing quality products for what seems like forever. Generally specializing in softball bats and balls, they are also fine producers of gloves, batting gloves, accessories and variety of apparel. From our experience, Worth softball bats dedication to quality while remaining affordable has kept us coming back for more year after year.
The Worth AMP ASA Slowpitch Softball is a prime example of a batter offering both quality and affordability. A one-piece aluminum bat, the AMP is under $65 making it a great option for recreational ball players looking for a bat which will provide both performance and affordability.
Obviously, this bat will not compare to a multi-walled composite bat which is priced over $200 like the Louisville Slugger Z-2000, but it will still provide some some 'pop'. We took it out for a batting practice session and were surprised with just how extended the sweet-spot was. We weren't crushing the ball by any means but we were hitting some pretty solid line drives.
The graphics on it are actually pretty crisp and they tend to hold up over time. If you are looking for a solid aluminum bat for a recreational team or batting cage use, this may be it. It is also ASA and USSSA approved.
On the other side of the price spectrum is the Worth Sick 454 is upwards of $200. It is a composite bat and is perhaps one of the sickest on the slow pitch market. The '454,' is representative of the sweet spot extension technology which provides an additional 2 inches of sweet spot which obviously doesn't hurt one bit.
Super hot out of the wrapper, our experience was nothing but homeruns with this beauty. It maybe didn't have as much 'pop' as the Mayhem but for the price it was definitely solid. We had read about the increased durability model and although we couldn't really tell by swinging the bat, the composite materials are woven together with a smaller than typical diameter which helps to greatly improve the durability. With that being said, our bat hasn't broken yet.
This particular model is ASA approved and a bit too hot for the USSSA.

5 cups white sugar
6 tablespoons bottled lemon juice
1 packet powdered pectin
nice posting. thanks for sharingReplyDelete
You are AWESOME Pammy!! I think this will be this summers canning 'project'.ReplyDelete
It's all so fun Tina!!! Keep me posted please =D xoxDelete
I think I can actually do this after reading your directions! Thanks for sharing this!
Oh you can do this Sharon!!! If you need any help just let me know xoxDelete
The color of the jam is so pretty. Have you made any watermelon rind pickles?ReplyDelete
I love the color of the jam too! I've considered the pickles but I think I need to taste some first. I guess the sweets is my thing LOL ;)Delete
I grew up on watermelon rind pickles, they were such a great treat! They are on the very sweet side though so you would really love them! Give it a try!Delete
I will just enjoy looking at your watermelon jam from the 'Burgh. I think tomorrow I will start making Cinnamon Basil Jelly because some of my Certo expires on MONDAY! I try not to let it expire! Thanks for your nice comments about the pineapple sage jelly. If you use vinegar as an accent, Pammy, it will be good with meats. If you use lemon juice, it will be good with sweet items such as thumbprint cookies. It is really one of my favorite jellies and I don't have enough pineapple sage! It is just ridiculous! My pineapple sage does look like it is going to sprout new shoots. So I can only hope we don't have an early frost! I'll keep you posted. Thanks for reading my blog. xxoo NancyReplyDelete
Thanks for letting me know about the vinegar verses the lemon juice Nancy!! I may try some of both. I love the cinnamon basil too! I always use it in my breads and tomato sauces. I've got my eyes on your herbal jelly recipes! It's great studying for someone whose had good practice with it. I wonder how the Lemon Basil would be? I just love how it smells like lemon drop candy fresh. Love your blog xoxDelete
I would love the recipe for your pineapple sage jelly!Delete
This looks fantastic, I have 2 whole watermelons to cut up today, I'm going to pickle the rind, and make jam with the rest:-) I've made a jelly previously, but had a terrible time getting it to set, the jam looks like a much better option.ReplyDelete
Hi Jane!! Oh you will have to share your pickle recipe. I do want to try that this summer too!! Enjoy the Jam...and even if the jam does not set entirely....it is so delicious for making sauces too!! xxooDelete
Question: What if you don't use the pectin or anything else but sugar to the recipe, plus, is everything OK if there are bubbles coming up from the "processing"?ReplyDelete
I've never tried it with just the sugar. Please let me know how yours comes out. The bubbles should be fine. It is getting watermelon season here again...I can't wait to make more!!Delete
I just made 15 half pints of strawberry jam and I was debating trying to make some using watermelon. I even considered strawberry/watermelon jam. I am going to definitely try it out....ThanksReplyDelete
Oh please do let me know how yours turns out if you combine with strawberries!! YUMMY Scott!!ReplyDelete
I Made some Two Weeks Ago And It Still Hasn't Set.
Did I Do Something Wrong
Hi Mary, Try giving it a little more time. Check the dates on your pectin to be sure it is current. I had a batch not set all the way due to out dated pectin. I still used it for making sauces and dips...was delicious.Delete
Do we use Regular Pectin or Low sugar pectin?ReplyDelete
I used regular for this batch saltzbrat, but working out a recipe for low sugar. Most of my canning is being done this way these days. I want to taste the fruit ;)Delete
I just put some of this up....can't wait for it it fully set! I was thinking about doing some with some peppers we have, adding some heat to the sweet. Have you ever done any variations like this?ReplyDelete
I haven't Ashlie but that does sound wonderful!!Delete
Have you ever done Watermelon Rind Preserves Do Not watse any of that watermelon :) If you need the recipe let me know I would be Happy to send it your wayReplyDelete
I've heard so much about the pickled rind. Just never tried making it. Thanks so much Stephanie!!Delete
I followed your recipe and my grannys directions. Brought juice and lemon juice and dry surejel with half cup sugar to boil. Then added remaining sugar. Let it boil again and timed it for 2 mins. It was perfect. Only thing I added was a teasp of real butter to prevent foaming. It leaves very little to skim, which is by far my fav part. Skim on toast while you wait for the set is childhood delicacy.ReplyDelete
mmmmm sounds simply wonderful Tracy!!! Good thinking on the butter!!!Delete
I've made watermelon jelly before and it was great. This recipe sounds much easier though. And yes, adding jalapenos is really good. I smoked the jalapenos. Thinking about putting the watermelon on the grill for a minute or two with the smoked jalapenos than canning it.ReplyDelete
Did you do this one Vicky? I would love to hear how it turned out. The grilling sounds fabulous and bet it really added some wonderful flavor to the jam!!!Delete
Thank you for the saucer tip,having hard time with setting this :(ReplyDelete
How did it work out in the end? Good I hope!! xoDelete
It's been almost a week since I filled my jars, I am soooo eager for these to set up!! My taste testers (that's 5 boys ranging in age from 3 to 13, my hubby and myself) all agree it's gonna be incredible! Thanks for the recipe!!!ReplyDelete
You're very welcome Alice!! xoDelete
Should you stir constantly and do you turn the temp. down once it's boiling?ReplyDelete
Hi Lauree! No I didn't turn mine down....took it off the burner once it reached temperature. It doesn't hurt to stir, I have a tendency to stir a lot myself. Let me know how you did :)Delete
No simmering. You are almost making candy. I followed your recipe and my Grannys directions. Brought juice and lemon juice and dry sure-jel with half cup sugar to a hard boil. you can't stir down. Then added remaining sugar all at once. Let it boil again and timed it for 2 mins. It was perfect.ReplyDelete
Awesome Tracy!! I know that was some good stuff!!!Delete
Good jam I also made peach nectarine jam with cinnamon. Seven fresh peaches, four nectarines 5cups sugar tsp cinnamon and a pack of pectin. Everyone said best jam ever. I don't use recipes I can tell when it will set by dipping spoon into mixture it should set on itReplyDelete
Sounds fabulous Anonymmous!!! xoDelete
Thank you for the wonderful recipe. I actually made my watermelon jelly using liquid pectin and it came out perfect. However, I would like to try the dry pectin, but from reading various blogs I understand that the dry pectin used to come in a packet that had more pectin in it compared to what they sell today which is the 1.75oz. So do I need to add more pectin or just use the 1.75oz? Thank you..
Oh never heard that Carol. I just use the regular packet with no extra. Keep us posted! xoDelete

Author: Elizabeth Robinson/Thursday, October 12, 2017/Categories: News, Onboard experience
MSC Cruises has worked with Bosch and Hewlett Packard Enterprises to launch a new video surveillance system that provides greater security onboard its cruise ships.
The new system consists of a series of optical and thermal video cameras which provide constant surveillance to the relevant areas of the ship. All video images are streamed in real-time to a central security room where it is monitored with the other inputs onboard the ship.
When the alarm is triggered, an acoustic signal and light will alert the ship's security officer in the central security room who can immediately connect to the system and acquire all images and data. The security officer has direct access to the ship command at the bridge to allow for immediate action.
"The security and safety of our guests and crew onboard has always been our highest priority," said Pierfrancesco Vago, MSC Cruises' executive chairman. "Therefore – as innovation has been from day one central to the way in which we operate and develop new features for our ships – we have developed a highly innovative solution that, through the use of military-grade technology, will allow ship command to take immediate action if needed. While a ship at sea is a challenging environment for accurate video security monitoring and operating high-tech equipment, our teams have managed to successfully develop a system that is at the same time accurate, stable and reliable."
MSC Cruises' security department and experts from Bosch and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have worked to ensure the system is highly resilient to weather conditions at sea, and programmed to provide reliable and accurate data. The system has been confirmed as 97% accurate following 25,000 hours of video analysis, extensive software testing and continuous algorithm updates.
The system is already operational on MSC Meraviglia and over time, similar integrated systems will be developed and deployed across MSC Cruises' fleet.

Peter Piper Planted a Peck of .........wedding peppers.
got engaged peppers played a big part. So the wedding theme is now "spicy!". Thus, in preparation I'm growing some spicy love wedding peppers which will be bouquets, decorations, eaten raw, dunked in wine .... who can really say, the possibilities are endless.
Full disclosure, there was also some wine involved in the engagement. Flower arrangements for the big day will probably involve some grapes as well.
Ummm, yeah, that image above isn't really the peppers I planted today in the orto. That's my artistic interpretation...aka: a substitute for the real photos that I took that I can't seem to get off my camera. Hopefully Bump and Doug's photographer won't have the same problem.

Forget GDP: happiness is the secret of success. From politics and business to community and family – 'good karma' hunting has become big business. It is no longer just a personal pursuit, but a big-hearted approach to work, money, family, community – even politics.
Corporate karma consultants and happiness gurus run workshops on how love and happiness can be applied to everything: personal development, spiritual branding and the marketing of products, services, businesses and leadership.
Happiness Science
The science of happiness is a growing field. Both the public and industry are looking for insights into emotional wellbeing and positive psychology as an aid to living a more fulfilled life. A wide range of external factors determines happiness levels, but recent scientific theory asserts that these are matched (50:50) by our genetic make-up. The psychotherapy or coaching session of the future may well focus on positive emotion, your strengths and virtues, and how to build more meaning and joy into all areas of your life.
Karma Culture
Scandinavia is supposedly one of the happiest and wealthiest regions in the world. Here business leaders now engage in karma capitalism, practicing meditation in between meetings. Spirituality is a safe card to play. In a sense, the Dalai Lama is the iconic epitome of Buddhism's extremely positive status in the West. This spiritual guru inspires compassion and his wise words are quoted and applauded. He laughs and smiles in TV interviews, conveying genuine warmth and happiness – a rare and precious commodity among leaders in any field.
Rethinking GDP
Since rising national wealth does not necessarily make people more satisfied, economists and politicians are looking beyond balance sheets to well being. When it comes to life, love and true happiness, France is leading the way. President Sarkozy's plan to rethink the way we judge national performance is to be applauded. Perhaps GDP will come to be measured alongside GDW (Gross Domestic Wellbeing) – an index reflecting inner wealth! One thing is certain: what makes society happy will be a hot topic over the coming decade.
Inspirational Sources

– From Bhutan to France: Gross National Happiness: On the intersection of place, politics and culture. Call it the trickle-up theory of ideas. Big ideas often start in small nations. For instance, the wildly successful practice of micro-lending was born not in London or Tokyo but rural Bangladesh. Why? Necessity, yes. But another reason, I think, is that small, off-the-map countries have less to lose. If Bhutan proposes something like Gross National Happiness people might snicker but they're not likely to think of any less of Bhutan.

reel it in
haiku sets, tiny
fissures in a jaded heart –
but it wasn't me.
i wear socks to bed
now – i picked it up from you,
a wayward habit.
can i ask what you
took from me? my legs, my lungs?
brain function in prose?
i am on this page,
and as the wind blows i see
you are not with me.
do not be afraid
of the words. do not worry
about my mistakes.
you will be just fine.
i am learning quite fast now
how to reel it in.

Here's what Trout had to say when we talked with him by phone a few weeks back about being 10 days away from death, his "third chance at life" and returning health, the upcoming "I'm Back!" tour, and some of the other artists he's worked with, admired, and mentored through the years, from such legends as John Mayall and Luther Allison to Mike Zito, UK blues-rocker Danny Bryant, and up-and-comers like Laurence Jones and Trout's own son Jon.

Like the pax ecclesiae it found ardent champions in the regular clergy, especially in Odilo (962-1049), the fifth abbot of Cluny, and soon spread over all France.
In 996 the young king went to Italy to receive the imperial crown; and from this date Adelaide ceased to concern herself with worldly affairs, but devoted herself to pious exercises, to intimate correspondence with the abbots Majolus and Odilo of Cluny, and the foundation of churches and religious houses.
Immediately after the revolt of Bavaria in 743 the Bavarian duke Odilo was forced to submit to Pippin and Carloman, the sons of Charles Martel, and to recognize the Frankish suzerainty.

The similarities are striking.
Though young, Linus is unusually smart.
Everyone likes to think their child is smart. I don't know if my Happy Boy is unusually smart, but he does have very strong language skills (often using words like actually, & similar). He makes interesting connections, and has a fabulous memory. He hasn't quoted philosophers or found the Great Pumpkin yet, but he is just 3!
The younger one, the one formerly known as The Weed, in future to be referred to as Stewie. Yes, him:
He's a character and a half. He's stubborn, he's tough and I swear he's trying to kill us. He's very on the ball, he's very bright and has been known to mutter obscenities in a British accent. No. That last bit I made up.
But this is my family. For better stories, go to visit UrbanMummy.

It seemed like a good one. After the first set of goblet squats with a 40 lb. kettlebell I knew I would be gassed so I switched the goblet squats to air squats. The hand release push ups (HRPU) I couldn't see a benefit over regular push ups so I ditched those in favour of regular push ups.

It's been a while since I've fallen down the rabbit hole of a single person's portfolio, but this here is the guy. To say Art Director Tatsuya Tanaka's imagination is fertile is an understatement, and his attention to detail borders on fanatical.
Whereas the designers among us might touch an object and become fixated on a parting line, a unique joinery method or a particularly artful weld, Tanaka sees entire worlds in the tiniest of details, and sets up miniatures to help us see what he sees. Tennis ball seams are biking trails;
a protractor, a blackjack table;
an F1 pit stop where the "F" stands for "Footwear;"
a stack of magazines become nighttime snack stands in Hong Kong.
My favorites are the ones that specifically reference life in Tanaka's home country of Japan. A dishwashing sponge becomes the natural carpet of a hanami (cherry blossom bloomtime picnic);
a tameshigiri practioner produces penne;
a circuit board becomes a partially harvested rice paddy;
Muji notebooks become a cityscape;
Pocky become lighsabers;
a dumpling skin becomes a Sumo ring;
high heels become the entrance to a Tokyo train station.
Which is not to say the non-Japanese-specific ones are not also fascinating.
Most amazing of all is how prolific Tanaka is. Since April of 2011 he has released one new photo a day, every day, in a calendar format. Be careful if you're at work--you can spend hours clicking through his set-ups.
Before the 1980's, nearly all of the commercial art in the country was either hand-painted, bent from neon tubes, screen printed, or a combination of these. Sign men drove around in trucks, vans and station wagons spattered with stray enamel paint in all colors, sometimes themselves sporting subtle to wild
The series of violent events that have rocked the United States in just the past few months have exposed deep rifts in our social fabric that are rooted in history, injustice and a sense of isolation. From the mass shootings in Orlando to the targeting of police officers by snipers
The only time I formally learned about food labels was in a sixth grade "health class" through a crossword puzzle containing the words "calories," "fat," "protein," "carbohydrates," etc. What do all of those words even really mean? I'm still figuring it out, and the FDA's new, still poorly designed, data
Of all the fields an ID skillset will allow you to enter, Hollywood movies might be one of the more fascinating.

Today's been a non-productive drag of a day, and I can't believe it's not even 4pm as I'd happily go to bed right now! Sam woke up far too early given that it was a bonus day off school, so we spent a couple of hours in our pyjamas, watching Mr. Tumble. A follow up call to the GP surgery (and an apology from them for not phoning back as promised, yesterday) confirmed that Sam's GP had written a prescription for an alternative cream for his thrush, since there's a manufacturing problem and no one has the initial one in stock. Dispenser promised to fax it across to our local pharmacy, so we got dressed and set out for the 3 mile round trip. Myself, Sam, the buggy, and the guitar! However our pharmacist informed us that there is also a manufacturing problem with the replacement that had been prescribed. Oh FFS!!!! But, being the lovely man that he is, he simply said "Leave it with me, I'll sort it out. Come back this afternoon."
So we went home, and attempted to relax in the garden for a while - easier said than done. Briefly, this was Sam's attempt at enjoying the sunshine:
After a brief period of not relaxing, Sam asked to go to the park. So we went to the park. He didn't want to walk the two minutes down the road - I politely informed him that if he wasn't able to walk that far, there was little point going to the park at all. At the park, Sam didn't want to go on anything. His main objective was to get himself on the opposite side of the gate to Mummy - it didn't seem to matter who was on which side! Eventually we came out of the park and sat on the grass patch that backs onto it. Crying. A good twenty minutes was spent here, with no explanation. I was running out of ways to ask "What is wrong?" when finally Sam answered me - "I don't know!" Oh flipping heck boy, what chance do I stand if you don't even know what's up?! At last Sam was persuaded that we could sit on the grass to cry at home, so we gathered ourselves up and left - on the condition that Sam didn't have to walk, but could have a 'cuddle' instead (long ago he realised that "Give baby a cuddle" was much cuter than just "Carry me").
At home, it was clear Sam was very tired, so I thought if we snuggled up on the sofa he might fall asleep. Nope! He came very close a few times, but always realised just in time to rouse himself. So I rang the pharmacy and, wahoooo, they had managed to get hold of the cream we needed. Typically, there had been one tube in the GP's dispensary all along, but because of the prescription system we are not allowed to collect from there as we live too close. Regardless, we jumped in the car and went to fetch the cream which is now doing its job smeared all over Sam's rash.
No prizes for guessing what we're doing now......Hello, I'm Justin, let's go and meet my friends....

Main Street
Lining Galena's Main Street on both sides are historic 19th century brick structures that today are home to restaurants, cafes, art galleries, boutiques, and bars.
The Desoto House, pictured above, was opened in 1855 and is the oldest continuously operating hotel in Illinois (Perhaps the oldest one, the Rose Hotel, was built in about 1830 in Elizabethtown at the opposite end of the state). Abraham Lincoln delivered a speech from its balcony in 1856 and Stephen Douglas did the same in 1858. Galena resident Ulysses S. Grant used the hotel as his presidential campaign headquarters in 1868.
Just north of Main Street is Perry Street, which is still made of cobblestones. Further up the hill on the left side is where Galena residents built a stockade in 1832 for protection during the Black Hawk War.
Located where Diagonal Street meets Main Street is the oldest home in Galena and one of the oldest in Illinois, the Dowling House, which was built in 1826. The Dowling residence was a trading post, and it housed many fur traders as they passed through town.

Images on website not working
Hi all, I am using FP 03 to edit an older website which has been fine for a long time. I tried to insert facebook. The icon is in the correct folder with all the correct HTML code and correct file paths but it still comes up as a little red X in a white box. When in preview mode it shows just as it is supposed to. I have uploaded the files to the server and the link is still active, it just doesn´t show the icon. I need this to work as I have to put it on several other pages, please help me! Thanks


text: This piece was inspired by my pets…3 dogs, 4 cats, ferret, lizards and tortoises. It is made from a wooden box that I found at a garage sale. I made a mosaic on the front out of various handmade and store bought tiles. I included the words "Happiness Is…" on the front and when you open it you see hand stitched stuffies of my pets and I. We are embellished with various buttons and findings and we're all wearing big hearts on our chests. On the opposite side is a collage of dictionary definitions I printed of all the animal species. I consider this piece to be a self portrait.

At the 20th edition of the exhibition, with new injection presses and compression machines
Shanghai, China. The 20th Chinaplas exhibition, on from 26 to 29 April, will house more than 90,000 square metres of the latest products and cutting edge technology for the plastic and rubber industry.The Sacmi and Negri Bossi stand (W1D51) will cover 160 square metres in the W1 Hall. The Closures and Pet division of Sacmi Imola will present the new CCM005, a compression machine for manufacturing plastic caps. It is the latest addition to the CCM range, joining the CCM002 (64 punch) and CCM003 (32 punch) models, which have been launched to great success in recent years. The new unit is equipped with 48 tools to produce caps that reach a rated maximum diameter of 33 mm, at a speed of 1200 caps/minute, i.e. a record cycle time of 2.4 seconds. Negri Bossi on the other hand is taking two new injection presses to Shanghai. The new machines follow the philosophy of the Group's Milan company by responding to market needs with customer-specific solutions rather than standard, general purpose units. These machines feature tailor-made systems that are the result of constant research and technological partnerships in the automation, robotics and process applications sectors.With over 52,000 visitors from 79 countries and 1,100 exhibitors, Chinaplas is the largest plastic and rubber trade fair in Asia.

Gosh, I love curry. And when I say I love curry, I mean I really love curry. Do you ever wake up in the morning and think, "Dang, some curry sounds good right about now?" Ok, maybe I don't think this when I wake up for my 6 AM workouts, but it definitely crosses my mind before lunchtime.
I'm visiting my sister in San Fransisco for the weekend which means I luckily have full access to a real live kitchen, a.k.a one step up from my appliance-heaven dorm room. Cha-ching! My first order of business? Make some lovely curry, of course!
I love curry because it's really flavorful, packs a bit of spice (especially thai curry) and is full of very healthy ingredients of you know how to cook it right. Oh, and did I mention it's also super simple and quick to make? My recipe only took me 30 minutes to whip together and made more than enough to serve my sister, her fiance Cassidy and me (we each had two servings, I must admit…). This recipe is also filled with healthy fixes like turmeric, the God-sent spice, organic un-processed and zero additives coconut milk and lots of veggies. Furthermore, this recipe is super adaptable to match whatever veggies you have on hand. My sister's fridge was filled with zucchini, carrots and collard greens (I'm so proud of her) so that's what I used, but don't be afraid to add other veggies you may have stacked in your fridge!
I also used this snazzy Thai Curry Sauce I found at Trader Joe's for only $2.99 a bottle. It provided a great flavor without the added MSG a lot of other curry sauces and pastes provide. It does have a lot of sodium like most curry sauces, so I limited the sodium I added in the stew. Here's the gist:
- 1 onion, diced- prices will vary
- 4 cloves garlic, diced- prices will vary
- About 1 knob ginger, diced (add more if you like strong ginger flavor)- prices will vary
- 1 Tbs organic extra virgin coconut oil- $5.99, 16 oz jar @ Trader Joe's
- 2 Tbs of turmeric powder- $1.99, jar @ Trader Joe's
- 1 tsp salt- 99 cents, bottle @ 99 cent store
- 2 Tbs honey- $3.69, 12 oz bottle @ Trader Joe's
- 1 14 oz organic can full-fat coconut milk- $1.99, can @ Trader Joe's
- 14 oz unsweetened almond milk- $2.99, half gallon carton @ Trader Joe's
- 2-3 medium size yams, cubed- prices will vary
- 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth- $1.99, 4 cup carton @ Trader Joe's
- Any veggies in your fridge (about 2-3 cups). I used three zuchinnis, about 1 cup chopped carrots and 1 cup packed collard greens- prices will vary
- 1 Tbs ground flaxseed mixed with 1 Tbs water- $2.39, 16 oz bag @ Trader Joe's
- Put oil in a big pot on medium and add onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for a few minutes stirring occasionally.
- Combine salt, turmeric powder, curry sauce and honey. Cook for a few minutes stirring occasionally.
- Combine coconut milk, almond milk and vegetable broth and let simmer for a few minutes stirring occasionally.
- Combine yams and let cook in mixture until yams are softened.
- Remove curry from stove and let cool for about five minutes.
- Combine as much curry as possible into blender and pulse for about six, 10 second intervals. Not blending all the curry leaves some chunks of yam left for texture.
- Place blended curry back into big pot with not blended curry and put back on stove under medium heat.
- Throw in all chopped veggies and ground flax seed mix and simmer until all veggies are soft (the ground flax seed will help to thicken the mixture like cornstarch, but if you prefer more soupy curry then omit the flax seed).
- Serve over quinoa or brown rice if you choose and enjoy!
Yup, that's all! My sister and Cassidy loved the curry, hence our two servings each, which is great because this recipe makes a lot of leftovers. Happy Saturday cooking, all!
To health infinity and beyond!

Some nice visual gags help lift Home, the new animated adventure from DreamWorks, above the routine, but not by much. Small fry will get a kick out of this ultimately heartwarming sci-fi tale, but their parental units won't find it especially memorable.
The premise — taken from Adam Rex's source novel, The True Meaning of Smekday — isn't bad: a race of marshmallow-shaped aliens called the Boov have to jump from planet to planet to escape their age-old enemy, the Gorg. The Boov are an amusing bunch of conformists, but they have no intestinal fortitude, having perfected the art of running away whenever the Gorg discover their latest hideout.
Our hero is a misfit Boov named Oh (voice of Jim Parsons), and after the Boov take over Earth (and relocate the residents to new theme-park style communities), he teams up with a lonely girl named Tip (Rihanna, who offers a few songs here), who just wants to be reunited with her mom (Jennifer Lopez, who also sings a bit). Tip is as self-reliant as the Boov are fraidy-cats.
Tip and her mom are from Barbados, so give the filmmakers points for offering a heroine of color.
The story: Oh accidentally alerts the Gorg to the Boov's new home, and goes on the run, but winds up promising to help Tip find her mom. It's an excuse for a series of sight gags, often slapstick, and verbal wit of the groaner sort. One running joke involves novel uses for convenience story snacks — not a particularly fresh idea, but one that will tickle the youngest viewers.
I could have used less emphasis on Oh's idiosyncratic speaking style — he might have taken language lessons from The Hobbit's Gollum. On the other hand, casting Steve Martin as the blowhard Boov leader, Captain Smek, was a bright idea, and I'm assuming many of his riffs here were improvised. It's a kick to listen for echoes to Martin's other characters and routines.
It's a colorful and busy film that gives off plenty of heat and light aimed at short attention spans, but there's little here that's new or surprising or memorable. Lots of heat and light, but it vanishes when the curtain comes down.

Hans van Klinken was born in 1956. He started fly fishing at the age of 15 in Norway. He fell in love with the beauty of the Northern Regions almost immediately and travelled to Scandinavia to spend his summer holidays until the late nineties. It was in the large variety of the river systems and lakes of Scandinavia that he honed his fly fishing skills. Hans began fly-tying in 1976. By the early eighties, he was creating his own designs, mostly parachutes. This preference eventually led to several unusual patterns and tying techniques. It would be another four years before he fully recognized the value of other flies, like nymphs, streamers and emergers. Unlike most European fly-fishers, Hans' first salmon and sea trout were caught on dry flies. Because not many people believed his stories about catching salmon and sea-trout with a dry fly, he was forced to go his own particular way.
After nearly ten years of intensive fly fishing in Scandinavia,
Hans began travelling to other European countries such as Ireland, the UK,
Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Austria and Switzerland. The
success of the large patterns which he had developed for Scandinavian
fishing was immediate. In 1981, his job took him to the north of
Germany. Now even closer to Scandinavia, more time on the water was
possible, and fly-fishing became an obsession. At this time, he also
became involved in writing about flies and his travels.
Hans is also well known for providing an excellent guiding experience, mainly with clients in Scandinavia. For the last 10 years he has travelled to Canada to test his patterns on Canadian Atlantic salmon, Pacific salmon, steelhead, lake trout, shad, Inconnu, whitefish, pike, grayling and small mouth bass.
Hans' favourite patterns are parachutes, emergers and realistic nymphs. He enjoys sharing his knowledge about fly-fishing and fly-tying and is particularly skilled in the taking of Atlantic salmon and grayling on dry flies. Although having dabbled in the classic salmon fly world, by 1990 he was concentrating on workshops for river fishing and tying classes for realistic and effective fishing patterns. Since 1986, Hans has participated at many fly tying shows and has presented several lectures, classes and workshops in the UK, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Russia, Canada, Asia and the USA.
Bio courtesy Hans van Klinken and www.ffinternet.com
Hans has written articles for many international magazines and gives many of his photos and tying articles to club journals. He also worked for 15 years for the editorial staff of the Dutch fly-fishing magazine and contributes to books written by his friends, such as: The World's Best Trout Flies by John Roberts, Fly Tyers Masterclass by Oliver Edwards, The Complete Book of the Grayling by Ron Broughton, The Complete Book Of Fly Fishing by Malcolm Greenhalgh, Modern Atlantic Salmon Flies by Paul Marriner, the books of Mogens Espersen, Tying Flies with CDC, The Fisherman's Miracle Feather by Leon Links and several more. Today Hans writes his own columns in magazines in Europe and Canada and produces wonderful non-commercial photo CDs that are simply awesome to look at.
He also supports and sponsors wildlife and environmental projects
that are close to his heart and he is the chairman of the Grayling Society
Hans van Klinken's best-known patterns are the large LT series, developed in Norway in the early eighties, the Klinkhamer Special, his Leadheaded grayling bugs, the Caseless Caddis series, the Remerger series, his Flymph series, the Para-poly sedges, the Baetis nymph and dun, the Once and Away series, the Ugly Bugs, the Bondal series and the Culard series. Less well known are his productive series of salmon patterns, of which many are dries.
