Perhaps you have seen a tank on wheels similar to this one in a garden center, office or indoor garden. It is called a water machine and they are very common in the interior plantscapng business. Perhaps more visible to consumers are the water machines used in Home Depot, Lowe's and independent garden centers.
The entry level price for professional water machines is about $1,000. Obviously not a retail consumer product unless you are a 1 percenter and if so you probably have a gardener.
In addition to the sub-irrigated balcony pollinator demonstration garden I am also creating a new urban greenscaping lab studio complete with rolling rack light gardens.
I have been experimenting and researching better ways to grow both decorative and edible plants using indoor light gardens for about 18 years now. They have provided a wealth of open source information about sub-irrigated planters, methods and tools. For example, replenishing the water in sub-irrigated planter reservoirs saves a lot of time and water as compared to watering the same number of plants in traditional drain hole planters but it's still a physical chore.
Lugging water around in utility trays holding 8 recycled plastic milk bottles is physically demanding. Each tray of 8 plastic half-gallon containers weighs over 66 lbs. Remember the old water weight phrase..."A pint's a pound the world around?" My back remembers it.
It is long overdue that I find a better way to haul water. Here it is via a couple of products from Amazon. Incidentally I do not get any money from Amazon links. There is no revenue generated by this blog or the plant research lab.
As you can readily see this is a Hydroller portable water tank from Amazon via Reliance Products ($25.97). Its primary use is by campers. The battery operated (2 AA) pump sticking out of the tank is also from Amazon by way of TeraPump.($19.99).
To extend the length of the hose just add a length of 3/4" o.d, 5/8" i.d. vinyl tubing. It fits perfectly on the pump hose. Remember that this machine is powered by 2 AA batteries. There is not enough power in the pump to move water from the tank to high places. It is perfect for normal use around waist to chest hight.
So, the total price for this back saving water machine was $45.97 with my Prime Membership. We'll see how the tank and pump hold up over time but so far it has worked like a charm.
Compare this balcony garden with sub-irrigated planters (now supported with a water machine) to "dumb" clay pots dripping water on the neighbors below. This is urban gardening for today rather than horse and buggy days.
This shows the water machine and a light garden just inside the sliding door to the balcony pollinator garden. I staged this photo to show the machine and light garden. It is not the method I use for sub-irrigated indoor planters (SIPs) without overflow drains. The indoor method is based on measuring the soil moisture with a scale. I will show the exact setup in a future post within a week.
What the photo does show is that the new urban greenscaping studio has both a summer and winter garden. The pollinator garden (all annuals) is still going strong but will soon be history after the first frost. Then the winter view will be of a desert garden and coffee plantation. "Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!"

Green Onion Oil Devilled Egg Recipe
In Momofuku, Chang mentions that his Scallion Oil is one of Momofuku's mother sauces. He basically says you can't live without it and I tend to agree. Scallion oil, or green onion oil, as I like to call it, is a delicious, delicious sauce. While I tend to like my recipe better than his, I'll definitely back up his claim about never going hungry with green onion oil in your fridge.

There has been talk of doing away with the deductions for real estate taxes, state income taxes, and mortgage interest. My new Tax Code would allow an itemized deduction for state and local income taxes, real estate taxes paid on the taxpayer's primary personal residence only, and mortgage interest on acquisition debt only for the primary personal residence only.
So taxpayers who itemize would be able to deduct state and local income taxes paid, including state fund withholdings, and the real estate taxes and acquisition debt interest on the home in which they live.
There would be no current deduction for real estate taxes on any other real estate held by the taxpayer. Real estate taxes on vacation homes would be considered a personal expense and non-deductible. Real estate taxes on rental property would continue to be deductible as currently allowed on Schedule E. Real estate taxes on property held for investment, such as vacant lots or houses purchased to be "flipped", would be capitalized and added to the cost basis in determining gain or loss. There would be no deduction for personal property taxes. Foreign tax paid would be allowed as a credit only, direct from a Form 1099 or K-1 and without the need for a Form 1116, regardless of the amount of the foreign tax paid.
Only interest on "acquisition debt" – money borrowed to buy, build or substantially improve a taxpayer's primary personal residence, and secured by the residence - would be deductible. There would be no deduction for mortgage interest on a second personal residence or for interest on home equity debt not used to substantially improve one's primary personal residence.
Interest on home equity borrowing would be allowed on Schedule C, E or F if the money borrowed was used for business or rental purposes, using the current "follow the money" tracking rules.
This would require special new rules and regulations for banks and mortgage companies for issuing home-secured loans.
Points on acquisition debt for a taxpayer's primary principal residence would be deductible as mortgage interest – but would have to be "amortized" over the life of the mortgage in all situations. Points paid on the purchase of vacation or investment property would be capitalized and added to cost basis in determining gain or loss when sold.
Why would I allow these deductions in the new simple and fair Tax Code?
The Internal Revenue Code taxes Americans based on income measured in pure dollars. However it is a fact that the "value" of one's level of income differs, sometimes greatly, based on one's geographical location. A family living in the northeast (New York, certainly New Jersey, Connecticut) or California that has an income of $150,000 may be just getting by, while a similar family that resides in "middle America" lives like royalty on $150,000. Many components of the Tax Code are indexed for inflation, but nothing is indexed for geography. To be honest I have no idea how one would even begin to index for geography.
No deduction would be allowed for mortgage insurance premiums in any circumstances. This deduction should never have been allowed in the first place.
As of this writing I think I would keep the itemized deduction for investment interest as it is under current law, and continue to limit it to net investment income. Home equity interest could be deductible as investment interest under current tracking rules.

Earlier this month, I traveled down to Texas to visit my dad. Twenty years after buying the house that he and my mom lived in after retiring, he's moving.
The house is much the way it was when my mom died four years ago, except for a few things — for example, Christmas cards still on display in April, including the Obama Christmas card that pictures Bo strutting in the snow in front of the White House.
"I'm glad to see you're on the president's Christmas card list," I told my dad.
"I'm on the president's dog's Christmas card list," he corrected me.
On an earlier visit, I had gone with him to see some of the retirement communities he was looking at. In one of the places, the marketing director showed us a grand dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on the hills. "We have a lot of parties here," she said. "These people know how to get down."
My dad said: "But once they get down, can they get up?"
He's a funny guy, but as most people who meet him can tell in five minutes, he can be cranky, too.
One time, I said to him: "Dad, you're irritable."
"Tom, the world is irritating," he answered.
And he doesn't admire surplus emotion. How much is surplus? Read on.
He was a great dad for little kids. He took me to a Chicago Bears game at Wrigley Field a few days before my seventh birthday. In the second quarter, I had to go to the bathroom. When we were under the stands, I heard a ground-shaking roar and shot a scared look at my dad, who had started running up the stairs to catch a look at the field. Too late. Gale Sayers had fielded a kickoff on the 7-yard line and taken it 93 yards for a touchdown.
Thanks for taking me to the bathroom, Dad.
He forgave me. He did that easily. I remember getting in a spat with him during the family's drive to church when I was 8. When we arrived, I went off on my own and took a seat in the back pew, pouting. He came and found me and whispered: "We get extra points for sitting together."
He was not a theologian but a good shepherd.
He was a calm dad during my early years in high school, a span that accounted for most of my criminal activity. He kept communication lines open, hid (most of) his distaste for my stunts, and waited for me to see that I was in trouble. Then he asked me, "Who do you want to be, and how can I help?"
(Send me to a school where they don't know me, Dad!)
When my brother Matt was dying of AIDS, he was as cool as a dad can get. It was 1986. Fear and ignorance were high. People were getting fired for volunteering for AIDS organizations, because people still weren't sure how you could get it. Dad welcomed Matt's partner into our home, and he joined a support group for friends and partners of people with AIDS. Some days, my dad was the only straight man there. Pretty cool for a Catholic boy raised in the Midwest in the 1930s.
He was a brilliant and funny caregiver also when my mom got sick.
One time, the hospice nurse asked my mom whether the pain medication was making her drowsy. As my mom was saying "I'm not sure," my dad said, "Yes!"
I offered a third opinion. I told the nurse, "If you put both my mom and my dad in comfy chairs at the same time, my dad will fall asleep first." Then Dad said, "But you don't know what I'm taking!"
My mother, an optimistic woman, said she wanted "Ode to Joy" performed at her funeral. My dad said, "If you want 'Ode to Joy' at your funeral, I want a signed statement from you that it was at your request!"
All these memories come back when I return to the house and see the old furniture, the rugs, the art, the photos, the knickknacks and mementos, the ancient yellowed banner marking the last time Notre Dame won the national championship in football, and my funny, cranky, endearing dad, who is now acknowledging a twinge of age.
My brothers and I are helping to manage the move, and he has allowed us to handle some of the responsibilities — an awkward transition for all of us. He's slower and older, but he's still the man whose opinion matters.
A few weeks ago, I told him I was ending my column — that I couldn't keep putting in the hours it took to write something I liked every week. I thought he might tell me not to quit and urge me to keep it up. Instead, he said: "Well, they were good columns. I enjoyed them."
Thanks, Dad. Thanks a lot.

Former Dixie Chicks still battle controversy
Calling from Milwaukee, getting ready to perform with her sister as part of the Court Yard Hounds, Martie Maguire sounds totally at ease.
"I'm just trying to keep my kids awake, because they want to come up on stage with me and do some Irish dancing, so I was like, 'Well, it's at 10 o'clock tonight, I don't know,"' she says.
These aren't merely the practical musings of just any mother. From the mid-90s to the early 2000s, there were few names bigger in country music than the Dixie Chicks, composed of fiddler Maguire, her banjo-and-guitar-playing sister Emily Robison and lead singer Natalie Maines.
After controversial comments about then-U.S. President George W. Bush turned them into industry pariahs in the eyes of some, Maguire and Robison went on to form the Court Yard Hounds, who will release their sophomore album, Amelita, on Tuesday.
The group had always felt like something of a family affair, from their sister act to their songs themselves — intimate, earnest, string-driven tunes about the redemptive power of love soaked in the sensibilities of the south. With the Chicks on hiatus and Robison and Maguire helming the Court Yard Hounds, that focus is all the sharper.
Along with Robison's country-singer husband Charlie, the group went on writing retreats in preparation for this album, and the warmth of their sororal relationship shines on the record.
"It was more of a conscious effort to write for this record," says Maguire, 43. "(Robison's) in San Antonio, I'm in Austin, and it's an hour-and-a-half drive between our houses, so she'll come up with all her kids and we'll just have a big cousin weekend and try to get some work done."
Songwriting is a renewed focus for Maguire. "Amelita" — much to her own surprise — marks the ninth album she's made with Robison over a career spanning more than two decades. That experience has helped hone their lyric-writing and in-studio approach.
"(The Dixie Chicks) started in 1989, and Emily and I had only been in kid bands, and that set the stage for Dixie Chicks. The Dixie Chicks set the stage for this," she says. "In the beginning, if you look at those early label albums of the Chicks, we didn't write all that much. We had an A&R person and they were getting songs from publishers, listening to hours and hours of cassette tapes."
What emerged on the layered Amelita is, in some ways, a return to the Dixie Chicks' fullness of sound from their earliest bluegrass records.
"Emily and I tend to want to fill every space in the music, and it does come back to our bluegrass roots, because that's the way that music is, where everybody fills every single hole with a little picky-picky something."
It's a sound that Maguire herself actually disavowed in 1992, telling the Dallas Morning News that "we have to make a living and you can't do that playing bluegrass."
"It sure is a hard circuit to play, really it's hard to do any kind of music full-time. Now that we have seven kids between Emily and I … it's been hard to figure out exactly what we want to do," she says. "But I don't think even if it was an easy life, I would want to go back to playing strictly bluegrass. It's a good blending, what we've got right now. It just feels right."
That's born out of a kind of liberty provided by leaving the Dixie Chicks name behind, which has let them make the kind of music they want to make.
"It's been nice, that when you do something new and it's not under the constraints of the three of us, because I think we've gotten to a point in our career where our audience expected something specific from us, with the Dixie Chicks," Maguire says. "We didn't have to be answering to anything, or writing certain kinds of songs our fans are used to listening to. Creatively, it kind of opens the doors to whatever."
The support from fans who have remained by their side despite the controversy also buoys her. In 2003, days before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, singer Maines told a London crowd that the Texan band was "ashamed" that Bush hailed from their state. The comment inspired boycotts, protests, corporate blacklisting, rollbacks on radio airplay and death threats. The band went on hiatus after 2006's Taking The Long Way.
Maguire is at ease with this aspect of her history.
"It doesn't get under my skin at all. It's a part of who I am, it's part of who Emily is. I think it's always going to follow us. It's not like we were setting out to make a political statement — we're just a band with opinions," she says. "It just sets us back to a time period that's just gone and has really little to do with what we're doing today."
Court Yard Hounds was born out of that difficult time, though, as Maguire found herself "chomping at the bit" to get back in the studio.
"It kind of felt like therapy," she says. "That's your main voice to your audience, so that's why I think we wanted to get back in the studio after that."
Perhaps still leery of the American reception, though, the Dixie Chicks have largely eschewed U.S. tour dates, playing instead in Canada with some regularity. This summer has already featured shows in Craven, Sask., Ottawa and in Calgary. Maguire says playing as the Dixie Chicks feels as easy as slipping back in with family.
"We played a show about a month ago, and we only did five or six songs, but we barely had to rehearse," she says, adding that they even played with a completely new band. "Everything just clicked right in."

Just how many debauched mornings-after can "The Hangover" guys live through? At least three, according to director Todd Phillips.
"Obviously we always envisioned it as a trilogy, as you can imagine," laughs Phillips. He's only half-kidding. With "The Hangover Part II" hitting theaters May 26, Phillips is already envisioning one more round for Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis.
"If we were to do a third one – and quite honestly we really haven't talked about it, we just finished the movie two weeks ago – if the audience and the desire was there, I think we have a very clear idea where that would head," he reveals. "It's certainly not in the same template that you've seen in these movies."
U.S. & World
With the first film set in Las Vegas and the second traveling to Thailand, does Phillips already have another party-hearty locale in mind for the third? Amsterdam, perhaps?
"As far as where it takes place, I'm very open, like the Olympic Committee, to being pitched and presented cities, flown around with wine and women and bribed," says Phillips. "Then I will make my decision."
"And the winner is," suggests Galifianakis, "Salt Lake City."

It's one thing for police to have statements from Carlos Ortiz that can be used to support the issuance of a search warrant. It's quite another to be able to use those statements at trial.
Many of you instantly recognized that Ortiz's explanation to police that Ernest Wallace told Ortiz that Hernandez told Wallace that Hernandez shot Odin Lloyd entails multiple levels of hearsay.
Let's start this foray into trial procedure by assuming Ortiz will testify in the prosecution of Hernandez. Would testimony from Ortiz that Wallace said Hernandez said he shot Odin be admissible?
As the case often is with matters that eventually will be decided by a judge, the answer is "maybe."
Hernandez's statement falls within the exclusion to the definition of hearsay, since the statement ("I shot Lloyd") is being used against Hernandez. But Hernandez said it to Wallace, not to Ortiz. So when Wallace tells Ortiz that Hernandez told Wallace that Hernandez shot Lloyd, it potentially becomes hearsay.
Actually, there's a chance that Wallace's connection to Hernandez brings the entire statement within the exclusion to the hearsay rule. Section 801(d)(2)(E) of the Massachusetts Rules of Evidence says that "[a] statement of a coconspirator or joint venturer made during the pendency of the cooperative effort and in furtherance of its goal when the existence of the conspiracy or joint venture is shown by evidence independent of the statement."
In English, this means that if the effort to kill Lloyd and clumsily cover it up became a joint venture between Wallace and Hernandez, anything Wallace says about the joint venture isn't hearsay. The pressure point would be whether telling Ortiz that Hernandez said he shot Lloyd constitutes a statement made "in furtherance of [the] goal" of the joint venture.
Coincidentally, Bristol County, Massachusetts District Attorney Sam Sutter recently used the term "joint venturer" when discussing the situation.
Another level of hearsay arises if, for whatever reason, Ortiz doesn't repeat what he said to police in court. His own statements to investigators, made out of court and without an opportunity by Hernandez's lawyer to cross-examine him, also become hearsay — unless it's determined that he's another "joint venturer," even though his agenda on the night in question appeared primarily to be sleep.
Complicating matters in this context is the Confrontation Clause of the Constitution, which gives a criminal defendant the right to interrogate anyone giving testimony against the defendant. The statements Ortiz made to police about the events of the evening and Wallace's comments about Hernandez's confession are more likely to be admissible if Ortiz is not available to testify at trial; one issue that would need to be researched under Massachusetts law is whether invoking the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination makes the witness unavailable.
In the end, the judge presiding over the case will have to decide whether to allow the statement in to evidence. Factors that shouldn't matter but that definitely will include whether the judge believes based on all of the other evidence that a conviction is likely without the statement being admitted. Since allowing the statement to go to the jury could be what lawyers and judges call "reversible error" (in English, grounds for overturning the conviction on appeal), there's no reason to do it if the evidence otherwise appears to be overwhelming.
It's a very common dynamic at trial. If, all of a sudden, one side starts winning all of the evidentiary rulings, it's a strong clue that the judge thinks the other side is poised to win the case. For Hernandez, despite the information made available to the media, it's still way too early to tell how this one would play out in a court of law.

Leaving aside anything you could do outside of work like OSS or self study, do you think job hopping is a good way of continuously learning new skills.
In this context, my definition of job hopping is every 2-3 years, move companies, possibly even domains.
By changing to the right jobs you could in theory learn a new language/framework and get exposure to other domains of knowledge.
A quick update: This is not my current situation, nor is it an approach I have followed. The thought just struck me and I thought it was a good question.

It seems everybody lies, even the people we consider role models. We may be disappointed. Dismayed, even, when we find out. But surprised? C'mon.
It seems everybody lies, even the people we consider role models. We may be disappointed. Dismayed, even, when we find out. But surprised? C'mon.
Tiger Woods is still trying to claw his way back into the top ranks of pro golf after the unwelcome public unfolding in 2009 of his infidelities to his wife.
Multiple Tour de France winning cyclist Lance Armstrong recently ate his own words on Oprah, finally admitting to doping he had long vehemently denied, confirming that sports officials were justified in stripping him of his medals.
Notre Dame star linebacker Manti T'eo is still trying to explain how he got swept up in an online hoax in which he fell for a fake girlfriend, who supposedly died, then why, even after he knew she was a fiction, he kept lying as if she had been real.
Now there's a hubbub over whether Beyonce was lip-syncing when she performed the national anthem at President Barack Obama's second inauguration.
Does any of this really matter? People lie. Get over it.
Of course this isn't to say that every public figure protesting his or her innocence over some allegation is always lying about being a tax dodger, an unfaithful spouse or a cheating athlete. Obviously, though, many of the most famous and most suspect demonstrably were lying, sometimes for years on end. Perhaps they ended up believing their own lies.
And what should we understand from that? That they are human, and that with today's voracious and pervasive 24-hour news cycle their foibles are more likely to be exposed.
Entertainment celebrities, athletes, elected officials, what have you — probably sin and lie about it at the same rate as the general population. When their little white lies turn into big, honking lies, the people who admire them most tend to get hurt and confused. Fans feel betrayed.
It's a mistake to put famous people on a pedestal. However admirable many of their accomplishments, just about everybody has feet of clay. Applaud their good deeds and their amazing feats. Use their accomplishments as examples. Emulate their striving, for it takes real, sustained effort to achieve anything worthwhile.
But don't revere them. They're not gods. They're just people who are born, who live and who die.
And who make mistakes, often really stupid ones and sometimes really hurtful ones.
Just like the rest of us.

The Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City was bankrupt in 2009 when billionaire corporate raider Carl Icahn sidled up with $200 million to buy the joint. After New Jersey approved Icahn's bid in 2010, the Tropicana embraced a new strategy: high stakes table games. (You can now bet $50,000 on a single blackjack hand.) Shortly thereafter, the Tropicana started getting its ass kicked. First, by this guy, who took the casino for $5.8 million in April. And now by another ragged-tooth predator, who last week destroyed the casino for $5.3 million on a Wednesday night when most of us were home watching some dumb reality TV show.
More from the AP:
Yet despite the huge losses, the Tropicana is sticking with its new emphasis on high-stakes table games play, confident that things will eventually run it its favor.
"That's just how it goes sometimes; if you bet more, you can win more," said Tony Rodio, the Tropicana's president and CEO. "We have a strategy of offering the most aggressive and highest table games limits in the Atlantic City market and we're not going to change that. If someone wants to take the shot, we'll take the action."
Lately it's the Tropicana that's been getting taken.
In April, Bensalem, Pa., gambler Don Johnson beat the casino for $5.8 million at blackjack, part of a spectacular roll that also saw him beat Caesars Atlantic City for more than $4.2 million and the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa for $5 million. His winning story was first reported by The Press of Atlantic City.
Rodio would not identify last week's winner, citing the casino's policy to keep the identities of its players confidential. But he did say it was not Johnson.
Last Wednesday's winner hit big at the craps table, where he was betting $100,000 at a time. He also did well at blackjack and mini-baccarat, Rodio said.
The man left a $150,000 tip for dealers when he was done raking the casino; it was divided up among table games dealers on duty that night.
The two gamblers should just team up and play for a couple weeks straight. Then they should buy their own casino.

Randy, powerful post. Thank you for the reminder. We all have had these little interactions and it's important to realize that we just never know…I want to also tell you that YOU matter. Your blog makes a difference. All the best to you.
I wish I had said that to my friend John when I saw him last. It was a chance encounter at a neighborhood gas station. We chatted about random, everyday stuff and then we drove away, sure to see each other soon. Soon never came.
A few weeks later John committed suicide.
You matter.
This past Friday my company held its annual meeting and we had a guest speaker, Matthew Emerzian, share about the life experiences that lead him to write a book, Every Monday Matters—52 Ways to Make a Difference. Matt talked about the significance of helping people understand that they matter and the impact that realization has had on his own life and the lives of many others. It's a message my friend John needed to hear. It's a message I needed to hear. It's a message you need to hear.
You matter.
You are one of a kind! In this world of nearly 7 billion people there is no one exactly like you and that makes you a precious, rare jewel. You owe it to the world to share your uniqueness with those around you. We don't want to miss out on your brilliance.
You matter.
Life isn't about you. Until you understand that true joy and fulfillment comes from placing the needs of others ahead of your own, you will fail to grasp how much you matter. Serving yourself may lead to quick success but it will eventually leave you unfulfilled. Serving others leads to lifelong significance.
You matter.
You are not alone. There are times when everyone doubts their self-worth, but the good news is that if you seek them out, you'll find many people who are willing to come along side you to provide mentoring and coaching.
You matter.
"Why?" is the wrong question. Whenever we face a challenge in life our first instinct is to ask, "Why?" "Why did this have to happen?" "Why me?" Obsessing on "why?" can paralyze and prevent you from realizing how much you matter. Instead of dwelling on the "why" of your circumstances, focus on the "what." "What can I learn?" "What do I need to do to grow from this experience?"
You matter.
Share your story. An excellent way of serving others and discovering how much you matter is to share your story—the challenges you've faced, the struggles you've conquered, the mountain tops you've climbed as well as the valleys you've traversed. You'll be amazed at how many people have experienced similar life situations and the strength and support that results from the bonds you create.
You matter.
Randy, powerful post. Thank you for the reminder. We all have had these little interactions and it's important to realize that we just never know…I want to also tell you that YOU matter. Your blog makes a difference. All the best to you.
Beautiful Randy! Your writing and insight continues to make a difference. Know that you matter to me.
Hi Randy,
Great post and I wish more individuals would hear your story! I reposted it so others will appreciate what you wrote as much as I did. In todays busy world to many people focus on the 'why' and not the beauty of the 'what'. Thanks for sharing such a personal note.
Dear Randy, many thanks for this excellent post. The spirit of trust and collaboration in a company is something like healthy blood in one's body!
Kind regards from Switzerland.
Randy, This blog couldn't of come at a better time. How many people in this world need to know that the matter? Thank you for posting. =0)
Randy, thank you so much for sharing this story and writing this blog. A friend and follower of your blog saw it and forwarded it to me. I look forward to getting to know you better. You matter.
Pingback: You Matter – The Truth About Your Purpose and Value | chrisantrim
As usual, thought provoking and well written, Randy. One of my favorite blogs.
The first point that inspired me to write was this "Life isn't about you. Until you understand that true joy and fulfillment comes from placing the needs of others ahead of your own, you will fail to grasp how much you matter.'
So people, in their lack of awareness or tightly-held selfishness, don't realize that growth, happiness and joy come not from taking but using your talents, gifts and resources to lift up other people. Like you wrote, when you do this, you understand, see and get feedback on how much you really matter, making it easier to continue serving. If one is selfish by commission or omission, they never experience the gift of their useful significance.
Then you wrote about "why" being the wrong question. While "why" is a powerful thing to ponder, one of my favorite thoughts and questions, there are times there is no helpful or satisfactory response. Stealing other people's quotes here, "What are you going to do now?" That focuses on action to change the reality. Then there is this one "Spend 10 percent of your time on the problem and 90 percent on the solution."
Start with "why" but don't get bogged down with it.

I am home today with a powerful cold and intense laryngitis. My thoughts, quite logically turned to soup and digging through the vegetable drawer and pantry I found I had the ingredients to cook up the perfect soup for late fall, borschch (the Russian word ends with the letter "щ" transliterated "shch," not with a "t'). Soup is very much a part of Russian and Ukrainian cuisine, often served as a first course for the main meal, or eaten by itself as a lighter supper, always with black or white bread. In tougher times I remember arriving for a visit with a friend and finding only a soup bone and a few vegetables in the fridge. She brought home a loaf of bread, and quickly put together a soup that that fed the whole family for an evening meal. Soup, whether weathering a cold or weathering tough times, will get you through.
I have, over the years, enjoyed asking people in Russian and Ukraine to tell me how they make borschch. The answers are as varied as their recipes, ranging from "red" borshch made with beets and sometimes tomato, to "green" borshch made with sorrel, spinach or even nettles. I have had people say that borschch is Ukrainian or Russian, that it "must" have one thing or another to be a "true" borsch but when you gather the mindboggling range of variations it seems that borschch can be almost anything. Borshch is generally made with beef or chicken stock but can easily be made vegetarian with no loss of flavor; here I have added beans and cabbage to create a soup that is a hearty meal in itself. I've also added some celery. Celery is an unorthodox ingredient but here it adds depth to the soup base; leave it out for a more authentic flavor.
Vegetarian Borshch with Everything
4 cups vegetable stock plus 2 cups water
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2″ pieces
1 stalk celery, chopped (optional)
2 medium (2.5″ diameter) beets, peeled and cut into 1/2″ slices, then cut into 1/2″ wide strips
1 large or 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2″ cubes
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp. chopped dill, plus more for garnish
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can cannellini beans
1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced
sour cream, for garnish
Saute onions in oil over medium heat until the onions begin to brown. Turn heat down to medium-low. Add celery and carrot and cook, stirring for a few minutes. Add beets and potatoes, mix thoroughly, then add dill, bay leaf, broth, tomatoes and beans. Raise heat to medium high to bring to a boil, then lower, cover and simmer for 1 hour, adding water to reach desired thickness. Add salt to taste, then cabbage, if desired, and cook another hour. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and black bread on the side.

Lesson 4: Adding Logging
Microsoft Integration Services includes logging features that let you troubleshoot and monitor package execution by providing a trace of task and container events. The logging features are flexible, and can be enabled at the package level or on individual tasks and containers within the package. You can select which events you want to log, and create multiple logs against a single package.
Logging is provided by a log provider. Each log provider can write logging information to different formats and destination types. Integration Services provides the following log providers:
Text file
SQL Server Profiler
Windows Event log
SQL Server
XML file
In this lesson, you will create a copy of the package that you created in Lesson 3: Adding Package Configurations. Working with this new package, you will then add and configure logging to monitor specific events during package execution. If you have not completed any of the previous lessons, you can also copy the completed Lesson 3 package that is included with the tutorial.

Police Officer Tases Great Grandmother
A police officer used a Taser on a 72-year-old during a speeding stop.
June 10, 2009 -- A feisty 72-year-old great- grandmother was tasered after a police officer pulled her over for speeding. The Travis County, Texas dashboard camera captured the altercation between officer Chris Bieze and Kathryn Winkfein that happened last month.
Bieze said Winkfein was physically "non-complaint" after he pulled her over for driving 60 mph in a 45 mph speed zone on her way to Austin, Texas.
What the DashCam Shows
The video, which was released this week, shows Winkfein refusing to sign her speeding ticket.
She then got out of her pick-up truck and then the confrontation got nastier.
"Give me the f--king ticket now," she said.
"Get over here now," Bieze replied.
Bieze then shoved the woman. He said it was to keep her out of traffic whizzing by.
"You're gonna shove me?! You're gonna shove a 72 year old woman," Winkfein said.
But Bieze would do more than just shove Winkfein.
"If you don't stand back, I'm gonna tase you," he tells Winkfein.
"Go ahead, taser me," Winkfein replied.
"Stand back or you're going to be tasered! Put your hand behind your back," Bieze warns Winkfein.
After warning Winkfein a half dozen times, Bieze makes good on all of those threats.
"Get on the ground! Get on the ground," Bieze can be heard yelling as Winkfein screams. "Now put your hands behind your back."
"Put your hands behind your back or you're going to be tased again," Bieze continued.
While, Winkfein was not seriously injured and was taken to jail, when she got out, she told reporters the officer made up lies in this police report.
"I was not argumentative. I was not combative. All of this is a lie. Every bit of this is a lie," Winkfein said. Then the tape was made public and the once-feisty great grandmother clammed up. Winkfein reportedly hired an attorney and she may need one. She was charged with resisting arrest.
But the officer isn't in a bit of trouble. His boss said he did everything by the book.
"My mother is 77. If she conducted herself in such a way, I'd say 'Mom, you don't argue with the police.' You just don't," said Sgt. Major Gary Griffin of the Travis County Constable's Office.
