Saturn has been moving toward center stage as much speedier Earth gains on the ringed planet.
In May, Saturn starts rising before midnight. It first appears low in the southeast, to the left of the red star Antares in Scorpius; by dawn Saturn and Antares have moved to the south or southwest.
The lovely Teapot of Sagittarius follows Saturn into the sky. As the night wears on and morning approaches, the Teapot rotates, tipping its spout as if to pour its contents on the tail of Scorpius. The Teapot is highest in the sky around 3 a.m.; look just below and slightly east of Saturn. In June Earth will overtake Saturn in the orbital race, and the planet will be up all night.
Jupiter comes out in the east at nightfall, outshining the stars. The king of planets' nearest bright neighbor is Spica, the lone standout in Virgo, the maiden.
Facing south after the sky has darkened, you can see spring constellations like Virgo and Leo (immediately west of Virgo) front and center, and summer constellations like Bootes; Corona Borealis, the northern crown; and Hercules moving in from the east. If you like a challenge, get a star chart and try to trace the sinuous line of stars in Hydra, the sea serpent, slithering below Leo and Virgo.
Venus is now a morning star, shining low above the eastern horizon just before dawn. Our brilliant sister planet climbs throughout the month, pursued by the surging spring sun. The later the date, the earlier you'll have to go out to catch it before the sky gets too light. Try not to miss Venus on May 22, when an old crescent moon pays a visit.
May's full "flower moon" rises the evening of the 10th. Its other names include the full corn planting moon and the milk moon. As it wanes, the moon visits Saturn and its neighbors. It travels the night sky above Antares the night of the 11th-12th and close to Saturn on the 13th-14th. In the morning hours of the 15th, it hovers close above the bowl of the Teaspoon, which itself hangs over the handle of the Teapot of Sagittarius. During the next several nights, the shrinking moon passes under the Summer Triangle of bright stars as it makes a beeline for Venus.
The University of Minnesota offers public viewings of the night sky at its Duluth and Twin Cities campuses. For more information and viewing schedules, see:

In the late-1990s a fellow Saint John's alumnus said he wanted to introduce me to a young and ambitious Johnnie graduate who was building a successful logistics company in St. Cloud. When I met Pat Lynch I encountered a gentle man who led with a big smile. He was very kind and he seemed far too young to be bearing the burden of meeting payroll for probably a couple of dozen employees at the time. Pat had graduated from Saint John's roughly a decade earlier with a Bachelor of Science degree in management. Upon graduation in 1988, he headed to the east coast where he launched his career with C.H. Robinson Co. in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. In 1993 he returned to Minnesota and worked for Anderson Trucking Service before co-founding his own firm. By 2006 his company had grown to 53 employees and later that year it was acquired by C.H. Robinson Worldwide.
At one point Pat had shared with me that his mom's brother had graduated from Saint John's in the late 1960s. In fact, he is one of the primary reasons Saint John's was clearly on Pat's radar when he was a senior in high school and in the throes of his college search. His uncle's name was William Drahota. Bill Drahota graduated from Saint John's in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics. After graduation he served in the U.S. Air Force, rising to the rank of captain before being discharged in 1971. After a brief stint with Arthur Andersen, he joined John Forbes & Co., a Seattle-based CPA firm. In 1973 Bill's CPA exam earned the highest score in the state of Washington that year. He joined Bumble Bee Seafoods in 1974, working for them in Oregon before moving to San Jose and later San Diego, CA. Bill accepted a position as controller of Caribbean Marine Services Co. in 1977, and he worked there until his untimely death on May 8, 1995. Bill had a wife and four children.
Obviously Bill's passing must have been extremely difficult on Pat's mom and his entire extended family. Just over ten years after his passing it was Pat's idea to honor his uncle's memory by establishing the William Drahota Endowed Scholarship Fund at Saint John's. Over the years the fund has grown and there have already been dozens of Johnnies who have received the Drahota Scholarship. And there will be hundreds more in the decades to come.
Pat's thoughtfulness and generous spirit is a great inspiration. He loves his family and he lives a life of public service and community engagement. After the sale of his company he was elected to a four year term on the Sartell City Council and he also served as a member of the Sartell Economic Development Commission. Subsequently he has been an active volunteer on the board of Catholic Charities in the Diocese of St. Cloud, including a year as board president in 2011. Pat later served on the board of Junior Achievement and he has been a dedicated mentor to undergraduate students in the Donald McNeely Center for Entrepreneurship at SJU and CSB.
A few years ago Pat decided to start another company, Granite Logistics, headquartered in Sartell. This fall Granite Logistics will sponsor the Johnnie Football radio network. Pat is a huge Johnnie fan and we are huge fans of his. In addition to his endowed scholarship support, Pat's generosity includes leadership support for the SJU Student Fund Fellows Society, the graduate School of Theology and Seminary and our current athletics facilities campaign. In early May we dedicated and blessed Lynch Plaza which is a beautiful gathering place for hospitality serving baseball, soccer and other athletic events.
Pat Lynch is passionate in business and selfless as a volunteer. Most of all, he is extraordinarily generous, and he lives by the words of Tim McGraw to "always stay humble and kind."

Greed (and some Monkey Pool?)
People on BART
...and now a slightly newer version of reality: a tragic tale that spans the years frommisbegotten youth over hard lessons learned and running streams of blood and bile to anchor in the end on the further, but no less mysterious, shore. An embarassingly frank and shady stroll through the infantile corridors of my mind and soul at the time, down the stairs of dispair, disillusion, sorrow and pain, to rest awhile beside the vast dark pool of uncried tears. And from there the journey continues away, through the shards of broken dreams and puddles of uncertainty to here and now...

Little bit of fresh air
The wind has blown and pelted us with hail for days,
and this particular hatchling wakes up each day and asks to go outside.
Finally, we had a break in the weather.
Out we went.
It was wet and windy,
but it was a much needed dose of outside.

Hundreds watch as Blue Bridge's rail span is lifted off into history
Feb 25 2012
People gather to see the largest ocean-going crane on the West Coast remove the rail span Friday.Photograph by: Bruce Stotesbury , timescolonist.com
The rail span on the Johnson Street Bridge seemed a little reluctant to leave Friday.
People gravitated to the bridge all morning in anticipation of the rail span's removal, but it wasn't until about 12:40 p.m. that the 250-tonne section began to budge.
It was all part of the plan, said Andrew Purdey, chief executive officer of the contractor Ruskin Construction.
"Because it's such an old structure and it's substantially thick steel, it just takes that time," he said. "Everything turns out exactly as we'd planned."
It was necessary to place beams under the bridge to support the structure and keep aging steel from bending as the bridge was hoisted, Purdey said.
"The structure itself couldn't handle the load because of its age," he said.
He acknowledged that few jobs draw such public attention. "For our company, this is what we do, but for the city of Victoria, this is an icon that's going to be replaced with something that's equally or more fabulous. It's an interesting project for us . . . and it's nice to be part of it."
The removal of the rail bridge is the most-visible indicator so far that time is up for the 87-year-old Johnson Street Bridge, the main span of which will remain in place and in use while a $77-million replacement bridge is built to the north.
The new bridge is due for completion in March 2016.
Onlookers braved rain, with the biggest group on and around the boardwalk below the Mermaid Wharf development. Traffic across the bridge was stopped from about 12:30 until 1:15 p.m., leading to heavy volume on the Point Ellice Bridge and tie-ups downtown.
Another full bridge closing was scheduled from midnight to 7 a.m. today.
The crowd had grown to several hundred by the time the largest ocean-going crane on the West Coast, capable of hoisting 600 tonnes, went to work on the span. Shirley Marsetta was among many local residents with mixed feelings about what was happening.
"I'm glad they're replacing it, but it's part of Victoria history," she said. "It's still sad."
Ross Crockford, a director of the citizens' group johnsonstreetbridge.org, said it was not a happy day for him.
"I'm not celebrating today," said Crockford, whose group led a petition effort that forced a referendum on borrowing for the new bridge. "We're witnessing the demolition of an [87-year-old] bridge that is one-of-a-kind.
"I suspect we're also witnessing the demise of a 123-year-old rail link into downtown Victoria. The previous bridge was built for the railway and that opened in 1888." The new bridge won't have a section for trains.
Some people were expecting Crockford to engage in an act of protest during the removal, he said with a laugh. "They figured if anybody chained themselves to the bridge, it would be me."
Three-year-old Lily Walsh told her mother that she did not want to watch anything happen to her "rumbly bridge. She was too sad," said mom Aaren Madden. "She said when it comes down, she's going to hide her eyes," said Madden.
"We live on Vic West so we drive and walk across it all the time. It's kind of a part of our daily lives. Her and her older brother have become kind of attached to it."
Madden said she wanted to be there Friday, despite the rain, because it was a historic event. "It can say a lot about who we are in terms of not only how we treat old bridges, but find innovative ways to fix our problems without having to throw out the old and bring in the new," Madden said.
Delores Heeley, 80, watched preparations for the bridge to come down from her scooter.
She said it was important to mark the moment. "We should be here. It's really something to see. I have mixed feelings, it's just something you can always say, 'Hey, I saw the Blue Bridge come down.' "
Gary Shaefer was in a prime vantage point as a member of the Victoria Camera Club, where he is part of a year-old project that has been recording all aspects of the bridge.
"We're just trying to document the Blue Bridge from a neutral point of view," he said.
Shaefer said age had caught up with the Johnson Street Bridge.
"I've been in Victoria since 2005 and recognize it as a historic object, but I also think its time has come and I welcome the new bridge."
Dave Broster, standing next to him, disagreed. "I like the old. I'm a mechanical engineer and I like the structure, and I like the historical significance of it. In that regard, I'm sad to see it go."
The removed section was lowered to a waiting barge and taken to the Ralmax yard, where the steel girders will be recycled.

Hey there,
What is mathematical thinking? According to Keith Devlin, the founder of the concept, mathematical thinking is a powerful way of thinking – outside the box. One will have a different perception of things in the world. This is not the natural way of thinking but according to Devlin, it could be acquired. This concept mainly focuses on students who have completed high school mathematics and intend to pursue their tertiary studies in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) related subjects. However, according to Devlin again, anyone who would wish to master analytical thinking skills could utilize mathematical thinking.
Allow me to briefly explain what I understand from mathematical thinking in my own point of view. Based on my experience in teaching, I believe that at one point of a time, almost all students experience a transitional process in the way of thinking. Let's not get into the concept part, but let's just look at the method of assessment for instance. During high school, students are graded based on their examination. Students are constantly taught to practice solving problems in a mechanical way. In other words, you are just given a way to solve a problem and hence you solve it just the way you were taught. Finally, you are graded based on it.
However, the whole way of grading changes when you enter a college or university. Grades are given based on your coursework and also examinations. Students are required to be part of a team to complete assignments, deadline is a crucial factor, a balance between your assignments and exams is a must for you to score well.
See the point here? This is just an example of how the grading system has "transitioned" from high school to the tertiary level. Now, let's look at the "thinking " part. As mentioned earlier, high school teaches you, on how to solve a problem the way you were taught. However, in a college or university, you are required or forced to literally think outside the box to solve a problem. Most students, find this a HUGE transition. In fact, I've had many of my students, calling for help because they were not able to cope up with this "Tertiary Shock Wave".
In actual fact, the transition is not a scary thing by all means, all we need to do is change the way we think. The system is designed as such because we need to have higher order thinking skills as this increases the capacity of learning. Due to the way that you've been trained to think in high school, you will be able to grasp new skills easily. It all depends on the way you perceive things.
Now, how can mathematical thinking help you in this aspect? Mathematical thinking will help you on how to "think" the right way when given a problem to solve. It may sound a little too plain when I say it in this manner, but when you dig deep inside, not being able to think outside the box is the root cause to the "Tertiary Shock Wave" mentioned earlier.

I just destroyed a perfectly good, gorgeous red, trench coat.
Ok not really.
I bought a trench coat on Modcloth that was on sale. I figured I'd get a medium since Modcloth branded products tend to run small. WRONG. Product is a) not Modcloth brand and b) does not run small. So what do I do? I can't return it!
Since it's a new coat and I haven't had the time to become emotionally attached to it I decided to do my own alterations. And unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the process. Entirely a poor decision on my part. The good news is that I feel like I know enough about my sewing machine and my own skill limitations to perform quick surgery on the piece without breaking a needle or hurting myself. Success!
The problem areas:
A) Shoulders too wide
B) Upper body too wide
C) Sleeves too wide
The well fitting parts:
A) Waistband
B) Sleeve length
C) Lapel
D) Overall length
Because of the construction of the coat there is no seam down the side, it was a panel. I decided to go the route of sewing in the sides and the sleeves before making any cuts in the fabric. And behold. IT FITS.
I did not sew each side as a continuous seam so that I could adjust the arm pit area. The sleeves were really very too wide, even for a medium I'd say. I did end up cutting away the extra material leaving a 1/4″ that I need to go back and do a zig zag stitch over before I wear it to Seattle this weekend.
The body I took in at an angle from the waist to the armpit. I did not cut away the material here because I'm still debating if I want to make a curved stitch from an inch or so below where my alteration ends to the sleeve for a looser fit. It's a little snug right now.
And that leaves the shoulders. Again, the construction of the coat is a little weird and there is a center seam along the back, but there's also a flap with a button going across the back. So instead I've opted to just leave it as is. It doesn't look super huge and since I've brought in the sides it seems to fit a little bit better everywhere else and doesn't look so rectangular on me anymore. =)

As fully licensed Financial Advisors, The Alcaine Halterbeck Group has extensive experience working with and managing both traditional investments and structured settlements. Even though every plaintiff's situation is unique, we take the same time-tested approach to creating an overall needs-based plan for every client. We start by assessing the plaintiff's situation and needs, securing the minimum income requirements (living expenses, health care needs, assisted living expenses, etc.) with a structured settlement annuity. Then we evaluate their risk tolerance and other financial goals so we can explore additional investments, including more traditional vehicles in a long term investment portfolio and emergency liquidity in a short term investment portfolio.
Our team has used this settlement planning approach over the past 25 years to help plaintiffs meet their financial goals and protect their settlement proceeds. Please feel free to call us at 916-783-6528 should you have any questions or settlement planning needs.
Plaintiff only
Once a case settles, we align our efforts and recommendations to those that we believe will ultimately benefit the plaintiff. We believe this philosophy helps us focus on the needs of the clients, the injured party.
Full-service financial advisors
We offer access to vast resources available through a world-class firm. For example, legal professionals can leverage Baird's tax planning, estate planning and investment expertise.
Needs-based investment objectivity
Though we offer a broad array of financial products and services, we are not obligated to recommend one over another. Our only obligation is to provide the knowledge and long-range perspective needed by clients and attorneys during the settlement process.
Mediation liaison services
As part of our needs-based approach, we think our presence during mediation eases anxious moments during these meetings and helps ensure that the client's interests are protected from a financial perspective.
Spanish-speaking capabilities
Though all of our business is transacted in English, we can help effectively communicate with clients who prefer to speak in Spanish.
Our Financial Advisors have nearly 26 years of combined experience in the financial services industry.

I'm Melissa and together with my husband Blake, we decided to take a leap.
In two words: Mobile Autonomy. After I completed my M.S. in Environmental Science, we decided to have a getaway before diving into the workforce. Although we considered traveling abroad, taking a cruise, seeing the country by rail and other exciting options, both of our hearts were set on a different kind of adventure. Backpacking.
So we researched the internet and picked the brains of everyone we knew that had such experiences, then packed up all our newly acquired gear and hit the PCT in Oregon for a 100 mile hike to Crater Lake. We didn't take many pictures but made some of the best memories of our lives on that beautiful trail. What happened in the world during that time we did not know, only the world around us and moment we were in.
The feeling of having all we needed to survive slung over our shoulders was liberating in a way we had not previously imagined. There was a security in that feeling that was so much more tangible and fulfilling than the daily dependence on so many systems in society that we returned to. We were hooked and sought to create a life around that same sense of independence ever since.
We began learning about different self-sufficient habitations and considered many different options. Blake was leaning heavily towards sailboat living, until we discovered a friend that had previous experience building tiny homes. That was all we needed to take the leap and soon the idea for the Earthwagon was in motion.
There are many examples of tiny living that we have used for inspiration but none of them quite fit the bill. Our passion is self-reliance and that's what the Earthwagon is all about. We can collect our own water and create our own electricity, so wherever we settle we're just a greenhouse and aquaponics system away from complete autonomy.
Thank you for joining us on this adventure!

Another "Choose Your Weapon!" update. I love this controller:
Ordered a kit recently from Flashback Ltd and I have a 10% discount code. If anyone wants to save on a 4-Play, shoot me a PM.
Another Choose your wespon. This is the controller I used for Red Robin in the last HyperScore tournament. It was pretty comfortable.
Hmmm @Circo I think the site's pwning links again Q_Q

How do you mean?
Put a FB link in my last post up there but it's not showing up.
Latest Choose Your Weapons is out:
I love this controller but I srsly wish MAME/Fusion supported it already ><;;;
Latest CYW is here: https://www.facebook.com/blissboxadapter/posts/1916188591731912
Choose your weapon! The success, popularity, and quality of Sony PlayStation 2 quickly led to it being the world's best-selling gaming console. As always, with great console comes great controller and the DualShock series persists to this day!
Given the console's successes, there's a wide variety of cosmetic controller variants. One of my favourites is the Samurai/Ninja Face-Off set from Game Elements' Freak Series II Collectors Edition Control Pads! Model numbers GEPS2F3 and GEPS2F2, respectively.
Each beautifully sculpted, fully functional controller sits atop an equally gorgeous molded stand. These feature an impressive level of detail, right down to the carefully embossed plugins and the light-up eyeballs and gems that double as Start, Select, or Analog buttons. Each character also comes with a removable face mask that can be mounted on the stand along with the controller and plugin, ensuring the whole masterpiece is on display!
These are a great addition to any gamer's arsenal!
Hello all, just want to drop off the current progress.
First, the API is ready and working great thank to the help of the beta team. The 2.0 firmware that will be required to use the API is in the final stages of controller testing (help still wanted). See the images below for a few API screen shots as well as the videos on the FB page.
There has been some personal interested with the people involved in Bliss-Box and Hyper-Spin. So do not take the lack of posts as a sign that we are not alive and well I would also have to suggest using our FB page for the most recent news.
Things to look forward to.
1) Gamer-Pro: A single player version of the 4-play
2) API software: as talked about above.
3) 2.0 firmware.
4) Cables: Yes we hope to get the cable produced this year at the same same as the Gamer-pro production. We are planning to get a few cable made that are not yet available.
5) With the API being open source and available, we hope to see front-ends and emulators start talking to the 4-play natively.
We wish you all a great holiday season as that approaches and hope to have a great year in gaming!
The Bliss-Box team.
I am an owner of the bliss box but have not used it since moving into a new home. My dream hyperspin setup was to have both traditional arcade controls and my bliss box setup so that I could go between consoles in hyperspin and switch to the appropriate controller for the systems without doing anything other than plugging the controllers in. When I last worked on this it was proving to be very cumbersome. Has anybody been able to successfully pull this off. To be clear, I mean by staying within the hyperspin front end environment and not having to enter any settings whatsoever when switching between systems and switching to that systems controller.
I'm sure Ninjy will be along momentarily.
Or Ninjaz hype man!
Description has setup tips
Awesome, Thank you!
Does anyone speak French well? A user needs help with the Bliss-Box and is not sure where to start. He does not speak English fully and hopes to find a French speaker.

Man Utd ready to sell Henrikh Mkhitaryan back to Borussia Dortmund
Manchester United are ready to let attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan rejoin former club Borussia Dortmund if a fee can be agreed, according to The Independent.
The Armenia international, aged 28, has fallen out of favour with manager Jose Mourinho this season and is now being linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
He joined United from Dortmund for a fee of around £27m in July 2016. But he has only produced his best form in flashes during his season-and-a-half in England and has featured in just four of United's last 11 Premier League games.
Mkhitaryan is prepared to return to his former club this month and Mourinho would sanction a deal, but the sizeable gap between the player's salary at United and what Dortmund can offer could be a stumbling block.
Inter Milan are also reported to be interest. United could use the Italians' interest to leverage a deal for summer transfer target Ivan Perisic.

LOS ANGELES — Oxy head men's and women's tennis coach Rachel Manasse is moving on to NCAA Division I, taking an assistant coaching job with the University of Southern California.
The first year head coach led both Oxy tennis teams to finish in the final ITA West Region polls this season. The Oxy men were No. 16 and the women were No. 18 in the final poll of the season. Oxy women's standout Samantha Farrell made the individual top 20, ranking No. 19.
The Oxy men won their first SCIAC match in three years and surpassed their win total from the previous two years combined.
Manasse came to Oxy from NCAA Division III powerhouse Claremont-Mudd-Scripps where she was a very successful assistant for the Athenas' women's team. During her tenure, CMS went 75-9 overall, 31-1 in SCIAC play, won three SCIAC Championships and advanced deep into the NCAA tournament in all three seasons, including a pair of semifinals appearances and a third-place finish in 2014-15.Follow Oxy Athletics on Twitter Sign Up for Newsletters Watch on Youtube Follow us on Instagram

A YOUNGSTER from the Capital with a passion for Thai boxing has described how she dreams of one day becoming world champion as she prepares for an important hometown fight.
Grace Currie trains several times a week at Hanuman Thai Boxing in Leith and already holds eight medals and a trophy to her name after being bitten by the bug from an early age.
And it's all to play for as the nine-year-old gears up for a key rematch against a fellow competitor from York whom she previously lost to by just two points.
Among the spectators at this weekend will be proud dad Danny Currie, who explained Grace got into Thai boxing after starting off with Taekwondo at the age of about three.
He said: "I have been boxing all my life, so as soon as she could walk she had a pair of boxing gloves.
"She's seen me doing Thai boxing – because she saw it from a young age she was always interested in it.
"She had her first interclub spar about two years ago and she's just got a bug for it."
And things have been going well so far, with Grace, a P6 pupil at Clermiston Primary School, coming second in her weight category in this year's UK Championships.
She hopes one day to make the squad for the Olympics now that Thai boxing, also known as Muay Thai, has been recognised as one of its official sports.
"It's crazy the amount of support she gets, she's like a mini celebrity, said Danny. "Her absolute goal is to become a UFC fighter and become number one fighter in the world.
"She also wants to be world champion in Muay Thai – she's got it all planned ahead of her.
"UFC would be later on, aged 19 and over, but with Muay Thai she could have anything up to 100 fights between now and the age of 18.
"She's very competitive – when she's not training at the gym she's training in the house."
This weekend's rematch will take place tomorrow evening at Portobello Town Hall.
Grace said: "What I enjoy most is taking part. I want to be world champion and then train little kids and be in the UFC. I'd feel really happy and like I've achieved something."
Grace, who also teaches her six-year-old brother a few moves at home, said training at the Hanuman club had also helped her meet lots of new friends.
Her dad said this social aspect of the sport was just as important as winning fights.
"It boosts her confidence as well," he said. "We find that a lot when we are at the Muay Thai gym.
"You get a lot of kids who come in awfully quiet but Muay Thai brings them out of their bubble and gives them more confidence. You can see how much good it does them."
Information about this weekend's match, and others scheduled for Saturday, can be found on the Hanuman Thai Boxing club website.

Jungle golf
We went to the most elaborate miniature golf course I've ever seen. This adventure golf course was jungle themed, and had some scary parts. Nancy's kids were so scared, that they left crying. (she consequently gave us their rainchecks) Ginger eyed the swinging monkeys, tarzan, tombs, and aligators with some extra attention.Since we weren't going for the best score, it was funny to watch the kids hit the ball over and over. Also, Ginger would hit it once, then pick it up from wherever it landed, and move it within 3 inches of the hole, and then putt it. Thanks Nancy, for a great adventure.

I'm glad somebody could benefit from my kids' scaredy-cat-ness! Ginger is so cute in that first picture.

I don't really know much about baseball, don't get me wrong it's rad but my only experience with the sport was my short lived T-Ball career, going to a few games and at 5 years old I was so bad ass at wiffle ball that I actually thought I might go pro.
I did stumble, once again, upon someone that did make it to the major leagues and has inspired me, Daniel Norris. He has a 92 mile an hour pitch, is a pro athlete and lives in a '78 Volkswagen van. Even though he makes the wage of a pro he lives a humble life. He's decided to focus on the simple things. It is ahhing that he's become so successful at such a young age but that's not what caught my eye, his lifestyle did. I found Daniel through instagram, we follow a few of the same #vanlifers and after I looked over his page I thought 'he's doing some cool stuff.' He also takes really beautiful pictures of people while traveling, he has this ability to capture spirits spot-on, a talent I'm trying to develop.
I saw this recent post on instagram which I think is damn rad.
(above photo taken by Daniel Norris taken from Instagram)
"If you give me some money I'll sing you a song" - She sang "You are my sunshine" to me with a raspy but confident voice. The fact that she chose that song to sing told me that she still had sunshine on the cloudy day. She still had a glimmer of light even though she doesnt have a lamp to turn off before she falls asleep. She still has hope even though she doesn't have a home. - As I walked away & across the street. A couple of ladies asked me why I stood & talked to her & why I took her portrait. My answer was simple "Perspective" - the magnitude of her problems trump mine. Easily... Be inspired to always focus on the sunshine.
This inspires me and give me hope for the future. That the message of simplicity, following your dreams, helping others and the love/respect of nature IS being passed along. What message are you passing on?

Family Portraits || Fort Collins, Colorado
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. - Anaïs Nin
I don't know what it's like to have one child- and I can only imagine what it's like to have two under the age of two at one time, but this is love. This is courage. This is life.
Getting to spend time with this family made me wish I had these snuggle muffins around all the time to hang out with. These kiddos are so sweet and so inquisitive, and their moms are so happy and so loving, and while I'm sure it's exhausting to have a house full of energy that is two toddlers, I'm certain it's worth every second.
We started with a casual fireside shoot in coordinating diapers, which turned into wiggle-fest blanket-crinkle-time, as things often do with babies. Everyone then changed into their superhero pajamas for the family formals which even the dog stuck her head in for, and then hair was combed and outfits donned for an attempt at some outdoor photographs- but in the end happiness was achieved when the oldest could take off his shirt and the youngest could put some grass in her mouth. It couldn't have worked out any better.
I hope to get to photograph these little ones again soon because goshdarnit kids change so fast, and I can't wait to see who these littles grow up into with such awesome moms.

Sep 14, 2016 - Standing Rock Sioux Tribe responds to Energy Transfer Partners statement: Tribe vows to explore all options to stop pipeline construction
Cannon Ball, N.D.—Today, Energy Transfer Partners Chairman Kelcy Warren released a statement responding to the recent court decision and DOJ announcement about construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Dave Archambault II, chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe responds.
"The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to explore all legal, legislative, and administrative options to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The pipeline has already led to the destruction of our sacred sites.
It is unfortunate that the corporate world chooses to ignore the millions of people and hundreds of tribal nations who stand in opposition to the destruction of our lands, resources, waters, and sacred sites.
Energy Transfer Partners has demonstrated time and time again that the bottom line for them is money. The bottom line for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is and will always be protecting our lands, people, water, and sacred sites from the devastation of this pipeline. Our fight isn't over until there is permanent protection of our people and resources from the pipeline."

getUTCMinutes Method
Language Reference
Version 3
See Also Applies To
Retrieves the number of minutes past the hour from the minutes value stored in a Date object according to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
To get the number of minutes stored using local time, use the getMinutes method.
The getUTCMinutes method returns an integer between 0 and 59 equal to the number of minutes stored in the Date object. A zero occurs in two situations: the time is less than one minute after the hour, or a time was not stored in the Date object when the object was created. The only way to determine which situation you have is to also check the hours and seconds for zero values. If they are all zeroes, it is nearly certain that the time was not stored in the Date object.

My Reason & My Purpose
My Reason & My Purpose
Photography means the world to me. But when it comes down to it, it's not the craft in itself, its what I see. I see a world full of magic, of love, of beauty. And my heart aches, because it knows loss, it knows grief and it longs to preserve what will be gone in the next moment. Photography is a way to keep the happiness I feel, the magical light, those few precious moments spent with family. It's also a way for me to embrace my own magic, to be who I am, to share the way I see the world, the way I dream & envision. Photography is visual poetry to me. It's abstract, it's filled with feeling. It's not something you can explain, it's something you feel in your gut.
Photographs give me that feeling of being connected to every moment that made me. To every moment lived. That to me is the magic of being alive. Being really present and full of love. Photography is the one way I can hold on to people & life that is no longer here. It's the one testament to the life lived. And the people who have touched my heart.
Through photography, I can capture the feeling of a moment in time. it's all a reference point, a way to bring me back to that moment. And that feeling that made me frame what's in front of me, and press the button in the first place. And it always takes me back. I can't always explain why I took a certain photograph. But I can feel it, I can feel that exact same feeling in my gut & in my heart that I felt when I stopped that moment in time.
Much in the same way as photography, illustration is a way to capture magic. It's entering into a dream world and sharing the stories, and myths of my own imagination. Through drawing I preserve the moments & feelings of my own inner world, just as I do with photography, but illustration is mostly a reference to something that happens in another plane - that of heart, spirit & dreams.
My purpose - is to share the magic of this world with you.
To remind you of the possibilities that being alive holds: to feel, to experience, to wander, to connect, to love.
To help you preserve those feelings, memories, and people you love, so they may never be lost. So they may bring you back to that feeling, that moment.
And to hold space for you to be fully and truly yourself - authentic, wild & beautiful. And to help share the magic within you.
I was born to adventure. To scrape knees and come home with dirt under my fingernails. I was born to create. To keep my heart open, to cry when I feel so much it pours from me like rain. I was born to make art. To be alive and ignite that aliveness in others. I wasn't born to be less than I am. Less than I can be. I was born to be wild and unapologethicly myself. By being simply myself, I hope to be able to hold space for others to be themselves too. A space for people to learn of their own beauty. A space for others to understand that their hearts & dreams deserve to be seen in the magical light of this world, too. That they are needed as their own true selves.
This is my mother. She taught me how to love. And how to see. With your eyes wide open, and the whole of your heart.
Her name is Dalia. In Lithuanian that means 'fate; destiny'.
She taught me to recognise the magic of this world & the importance of treasuring moments. And I want to share that with others, too.

Day 20: Weekends
Tomorrow, I turn 44 years old. I like to think I'm young at heart, but when I see something like this all that comes to mind is, "Must've been one hell of a night if you lost shoe on a city sidewalk." And I'm glad that might night involved a cup of tea and knitting - and no lost shoes.
What: a moody attempt at an artsy, gritty street photo.
When: October 2013. If memory serves me correctly, i was walking to yoga that day.
Where: near the corner of Commercial and Prince Streets, in Boston's North End.
Why: Sometimes I look back on my snapshots and cannot begin to explain why I bothered to take out my camera and shoot such random things. I do like how I composed this shot, though, so there's that.

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi Inc. may find it difficult to sustain its growth pace going forward after making rapid strides in its first few years, according to an industry observer.
"It is possible to grow quickly at first, but the big challenge for Xiaomi is sustainability of the growth in the next five years," said Andrew Atherton, who authored a report on China's next potential 100 global companies.
"It may end up like BlackBerry (BBRY.US), facing challenges over a long period of time," said Atherton, who is a professor of enterprise and deputy vice-chancellor at Britain's Lancaster University.
The comments came as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), a global accounting body, issued a report Tuesday to identify the next 100 companies in China which could become big players on the global stage in the coming three to five years, following in the footsteps of firms such as Lenovo Group Ltd. (00992.HK) and Alibaba Group (BABA.US).
Atherton, who was involved in the study, said Xiaomi — which is now the world's third largest smartphone vendor — was not included in the list as the company started its sales only in 2011. In preparing The Next 100 Global Giants report, the authors looked into companies' revenue growth between 2008 and 2012.
Among the next 100 potential global giants from China, nearly 20 percent were from the computers and communication equipment field, while 13 percent were from the services sector. Another 13 percent was accounted for by electronics firms while 9 percent were from internet and information segment.
Some of them are listed firms, including O-Net Communications Group Ltd. (00877.HK), which was ranked at 43 on the list; and Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co. Ltd. (02196.HK), which was at 54.
E-commerce player China Dangdang Inc. (DANG.US) was ranked at 62, SouFun Holdings Ltd. (SFUN.US) at 86 and Tech Pro Technology Development Ltd. (03823.HK) at 92.
Ctrip.com International Ltd. was in the 26th position while drugs retailer Beijing Tong Ren Tang was ranked at 36, according to the report.
The global giants are defined as having robust growth, strong presence in their niche businesses, and good industry knowledge and understanding of customer needs.
The ranking was mainly based on five criteria including turnover, annual growth over four to five years, domestic presence, extent of international activity and business model and strategy, said Eunice Chu, a policy head at ACCA.
Apart from those 100 firms, six Chinese banks are expected to emerge as top players, posting annual growth rates of over 20 percent.
They are Industrial Bank Co. Ltd. (601166.CN), China CITIC Bank Corp. Ltd. (00998.HK, 601998.CN), China Minsheng Bank Corp. Ltd. (01988.HK, 600016.CN), Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Co. Ltd., Hua Xia Bank Co. Ltd. (600015.CN) and Ping An Bank.
They are also part of the 100 largest banks in the world in terms of capitalization.

Cozy Sweaters and OTK Boots
Ahhh, long time no blogging friends!!! I cannot believe how busy I've been, but, this lil' break has done my mind good, and I'm so excited to be back in the blogosphere:) I get to those points where I sometimes just have to take a break and definitely hit my wall last week.
I've also been working on an Instagram class for small business and bloggers. I started it way back last summer and then all of a sudden IG went through MAJOR changes so I decided to hold off. Unfortunately I didn't have a second of spare time to start working again until now. Yay!!! If you haven't already signed up for the updates, you can do so here. And, you can follow me on IG at Laura_Yoder:)
So, we're to winter now. Yay. If you're sensing sarcasm, good, because that "yay," was laced with it. I am NOT a fan of cold weather! I do however, not object to cold weather gear, i.e. cute boots and cozy sweaters. In fact, I kind of live in them this time of year. I've been looking for a pair of black OTK boots for a couple of months now and just couldn't find ones I "loved," but these literally spoke to me at Marshall's last weekend (no really, literally, I heard them!), and the price was right (under $40), soooo, they're now mine:)
This exact color of sweater is sold out online at H&M, BUT, they do have 3 other colors available, at just $9.99!!! Check them out here.
I can't find this exact boot from Unisa any longer, but check out this similar option - I love it in the Burgundy color!
And check out my some of my other FAVORITE OTK boots below, all under $100!

Words For The Days You Let Yourself Down
Hey, that moment when you realize that you've broken your own heart, it's visceral. I know it, I was there last night. It was reminiscent of a handful of nights over the last few years when I've pitched a tent on the same dirt.
The way the silence mocks you until the sound of your breath hiccuping takes over for it, all while your tears fall in droplets that you can feel contribute to the growth of puddles on your shirt, or on the blanket, or on the tiles of the bathroom floor.
Letting others down is hard, but letting yourself down is a special kind of torture. It's slow in happening, but once it's arrived it's hitting a wall, head-on, when you were expecting a clear road all along.
I don't know how to avoid hitting the wall. I think there may be times when breaking your own heart comes with the package of growing older and wiser. This specific kind of heartbreak knows no age limits. It's as present at 10 when you wait too long to ask your crush out to dance as it is at 24 when you wait too long to sign the lease on a dream that's all yours.
The one thing they may have in common though, despite age differences, is the predilection to hesitate when it comes to giving ourselves what we want.
I know it's what I struggle with, deeply. To give into myself requires a combination of factors that I've yet to figure out. Instead I harp on hours of thought and pro and con lists and the budgeting of every penny — all letters and numbers that will eventually always add up to talking myself out of whatever it is I wanted.
To give into myself requires a specific strain of bravery that I don't yet have. Instead I have words that I use to try to coax the bravery out with.
I start small. And when I cry and forget that starting small works, I wake Tyler up and cry some more and then he magically knows to remind me.
I reach out. Because when you've hit a wall and you're sitting on the floor wondering if you're ever going to get up again, it's nice to have someone voluntarily sit next to you because they do remember how to use their legs to get back up, even when you can't recall how to use your own.
I feel. I feel bad. I feel so bad that I write it down and I remind myself that feeling this bad cannot exist without a purpose and a positive consequence attached to it.
I let breaking my heart hurt for a while because to ignore it would mean finding my feet in the mud more often than I would like. There's nothing about letting yourself down that feels triumphant, but when you've gone through seasons of not feeling anything, it's a reminder that to live by your wants, you sometimes have to be reminded why wanting is so prized in the first place.

Family businesses are differently placed.
Family businesses are differently placed.
Pillars of success for your family business
Family businesses are differently placed. At the centre of this difference is the family dynamic, which can play a significant role in decision making and offers both opportunities and challenges. The growth and sustainability of a family business lies in the fine balance between the needs of the business and the expectations of family members.
With its knowledge and experience with family businesses around the world, KPMG has identified seven key pillars family-owned companies should address to serve the best interests of both the family and the business.
