Walker's First Steps
On a warm late September day, Connor Walker, 19, lay motionless on a Connecticut football field. The St. Anselm College defensive lineman had injured his spine on an awkward block. A captain on the Marlborough High School football team before graduating in 2017, he had just started his sophomore year in college but on that day two months ago he was about to start another new journey.
Connor Walker feels like he's floating on air. But he's nowhere near Cloud Nine.
A spinal cord injury he suffered in a football game in late September left him without feeling in his legs. His injury, however, isn't slowing him down.
He's actually walking.
"You tell your brain and you tell your body to listen and it's kind of on auto pilot," Walker said. "I can't feel it. It's almost like my torso is floating, so it's very weird.
"The best way I can describe it is floating on air."
An awkward block
On Sept. 29, Walker, his roommate, Riley Dempsey, and the rest of the Saint Anselm College football team boarded a bus at 8 a.m. for a road game in New Haven, Connecticut.
For the three-hour ride to Southern Connecticut State University, the 19-year-old packed some snacks and a Gatorade. To beat the boredom, he and his bus buddy watched "D2: The Mighty Ducks" on Dempsey's laptop.
"It wasn't anything too crazy on the way there," said Walker, a hulking 270-pound sophomore, whose major is marketing.
As a freshman, Walker started as an offensive lineman but switched to defensive nose tackle in his second season with the Hawks.
On that warm September afternoon, the game was not going as Walker and his teammates had planned. By the second half, the Hawks trailed the Owls 27-0.
During a Southern Connecticut State University offensive run play in the third quarter, the opposing center grabbed Walker by his jersey just inside of his arms.
Walker kept a low base and dipped both his head and neck downwards before an offensive guard came across and collided with Walker in a helmet-to-helmet hit. The collision bent Walker's neck beyond its normal range.
"I kind of stumbled pretty, pretty fast," Walker said, "and that's all I really can remember up before that."
He was knocked out.
"The best way I can describe it is floating on air."
Lying face down on the ground after the collision, Walker finally came to about 30 seconds later. One of his teammates tried picking him up before Saint Anselm assistant athletic trainer Danny Gay asked if Walker could roll over.
"I just told him I can't feel my legs," said Walker.
Trainers and EMTs eventually put Walker on a stretcher, rolled him over onto his back and unscrewed his facemask before taping his helmet to his neck.
"It was a really slow process," said Walker.
His parents, Robbie and Jean Walker, watched from the stands.
Their dread growing as each second ticked by.
Once they saw their son wasn't moving on his own, the two parents scurried down to field level where they found Saint Anselm head coach Joe Adam.
"He gives us a hug and told us (Connor) couldn't feel from his neck down," Robbie, 51, said, "and you know just to hear that as a parent is just the last thing anybody ever wants to hear."
Like father, like son
In the summer of 2014, Walker and his dad went to Vidal Field in Marlborough for some preseason training.
Walker wanted to prepare for his junior year on the Marlborough High School football team.
"I was in peak shape and I was a lot lighter than I am now," he said.
Walker ran sprints while his dad timed him. At one point, the elder Walker asked his son if he wanted to race.
The two are close. And there is a constant and quick back and forth of friendly teasing.
"'You are like 80 years old now, you're going to break,'" the younger Walker responded to his father's challenge.
On the grass, the father-son duo lined up next to one another. But as soon as the race started, it was over.
Robbie Walker collapsed.
"I don't even know what happened," his son said. "He fell and he was grabbing (his leg) and originally he thought someone hit him with a golf ball."
But the injury was more serious – a torn right Achilles tendon.
"I'm on the ground and he's laughing at me," the elder Walker said. "This isn't funny buddy, I can't walk."
"I didn't realize how serious it was," said his son, who helped his father to the car.
Just over four years later, the younger Walker's injury was catastrophic.
Lying on the football field in Connecticut that afternoon, the lineman couldn't move.
LISTEN: Connor talks about the hit
Not fond of ceilings
Walker was placed on a stretcher and pushed into the back of an ambulance. His mother jumped in the front seat and offered encouragement to her son during the short ride to Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven. Walker's dad caught a ride with a friend and followed closely behind.
At the hospital, doctors and nurses carefully cut off Connor's jersey, pants and socks, and eventually took off his helmet – leaving him naked on a board – before placing him in a Johnny gown.
"I open my eyes and I kind of picture it like a movie scene," Walker said. "… A big, bright light and just eight doctors standing over you and I was like 'All this attention for me?' Like what happened?"
Over the next 72 hours not much of anything happened, at least physically, for Walker. It was more mental.
He lie flat on his back and looked up at the ceiling and pondered what his future held.
He couldn't move his arms or legs.
"It was terrifying," Walker said. "… I hate ceilings now."
His parents worked through their own anxieties.
"It was the fear of the unknown," said Walker's mother, 51, "and I didn't know what the future was going to bring for him."
It took nearly three days for Walker to regain any minor movements in his upper body. That same day, he and his family finally received the diagnosis: cervical cord neurapraxia.
In layman's terms, Walker suffered a concussion of the spine. It can be caused by hyperextension or hyperflexion. Connor's spinal cord was – and still is – swollen, but intact. Despite the seriousness of the injury, he avoided full paralysis and worse, death.
"Connor was told by the doctors at Yale University that he was lucky," Robbie Walker said. "A millimeter either way and he could have died. … It was a huge relief for my wife and I just knowing that he's not going to be the way he was paralyzed from the neck down.
"He was going to progress … and there's a light at the end of the tunnel."
To get through that tunnel, however, Walker had some work to do.
Baby steps
When Walker was a baby, before he learned to walk, he would grab onto a nearby table to pull himself up on his two feet as he contemplated his next move.
"He always had the upper-body strength," his mom said.
He summoned the courage to take his first steps when he was 10 months old.
"One day he let go of the table and he took a couple of steps and we were all so excited," she said.
She experienced that joy once again on Oct. 11 – 13 days after Connor's injury.
By then Walker was a patient at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston where he received intensive physical therapy.
"They had him come to the doorway of his room at Spaulding and the therapist had his wheelchair behind him and a walker in front of him and she said 'We have a surprise for you,'" Walker's mother said.
"We thought he was just going to stand up," she said. "He stood up with the walker and we all clapped … and (the therapist) said 'No, that's not it' and he took a few really small baby steps and we had tears coming down our faces.
"We never thought he'd get to that point so quickly. It was pretty amazing."
Walker's rehab at Spaulding entailed Activities of Daily Living (ADL). This included everyday tasks such as dressing, bathing, using the bathroom, self-feeding and even meal preparation.
"Connor was able to progress through some of that pretty quickly," said Dan Meninger, Director of Programs at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. "He didn't have lingering deficits in coordination."
Walker began to slowly regain his motor functions, balance and ability to walk, pushing a little bit further each day with the goal of getting out of the hospital.
His therapists used music therapy, an innovative form of rehabilitation, to get him there.
The music helped Walker's body restore a movement pattern by walking to the beat of a song as he focused on the tune, and not on his legs, allowing muscle memory to kick in.
Therapists even used virtual reality. As a final step in his rehab in Boston, Walker walked on uneven surfaces such as curbs and sidewalks to replicate the real world.
After three weeks of rehab, Walker was discharged and returned to Marlborough on Oct. 25, to live with his parents and his older brother, Robbie, who is 21.
At home, Walker's parents helped him with some of the more difficult daily tasks such as shaving and putting on his socks. They monitored him as he went up and down the stairs.
As he settled in at home, however, the shock of his injury and the realization of his current situation finally sunk in.
"In theory, it sounds great," Walker said. "You get to stay home, relax, (and) play video games."
But at home, he can't use normal eating utensils. He can't work out. He can't drive.
A drastic change from his structured and scheduled life back at college.
"The biggest thing for me is just not being at school with my friends," he said. "… But it's just kind of what I have to deal with now."
LISTEN: Connor talks about everyday challenges
Connor Frankenstein
With the help of a cane, Walker walked into Spaulding Outpatient Center in Framingham on Oct. 31. He saw people dressed up in costumes in the waiting room. Candy filled a big orange plastic pumpkin on the front desk.
He asked his father if it was Halloween.
It was.
Someone in the lobby asked Walker what he would be for Halloween.
"Not done with the costume yet," he said.
"He's wearing it," his dad added. "He's Frankenstein."
The pair shared a chuckle.
As Walker met some of the staff at his new rehab facility that day, he began to loosen up. It didn't take much. He is a chatterbox and a jokester.
Later on, a physical therapist named Ashley asked Walker to roll over while he was lying down on a double-wide bed in the back of the facility. That's when he broke the ice.
"This is weird," he said.
"Why?" asked Ashley.
"This is the first time I've moved," Walker said jokingly.
Half kidding. Half not.
Despite his struggle, the glass is always half full with Walker.
"I have the ability to sort of walk again," he said, "and it's only been (a little over a month) and that's something a lot of people in this situation can't say."
Good luck charm
For Connor's 18th birthday, his mother gave him a medal adorned with an image of St. Sebastian, the patron saint of athletes.
"I never wear the necklace during games," said Walker. On the day he was injured, he had forgotten to take it off.
"I feel like it did its job," his mother said. "I truly feel that. That's what I wanted. I wanted that medal to protect him from harm and although he did get hurt, it could've been a whole lot worse."
Since his injury, Walker added two special items to the necklace. A rosary ring – a gift from a relative – which symbolizes counting your blessings, and a little key engraved with the word "blessings," which he purchased at the Spaulding gift shop the day he was discharged.
Over the past two months, Walker has also accumulated a lot of swag.
He has the aforementioned cane – with plans of "pimping" it out to go along with his 1996 Lincoln Town Car.
He has received messages of support and encouragement – and gifts – from the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics. Even a few New England Patriots showed up at Spaulding for a surprise visit to wish him well. And the Marlborough community held a 50-50 raffle at one of the high school games and signed banners and wrote cards for Walker while he was at Spaulding.
But as he recovered, Walker knew he needed to make a special visit of his own.
LISTEN: Robbie talks about Connor's injury
An emotional return
After Walker left in an ambulance during the third quarter of the Sept. 29 game, his teammates and coaches struggled to focus on the rest of the contest.
Especially his head coach, who recruited Connor to play at the New Hampshire school.
"It was really hard, personally, for me to re-enter that game," coach Joe Adam said. "I remember bringing our team around and I had a really hard moment when I was thinking about him and just praying that things are going to be OK."
In the hallway of the Saint Anselm football wing, three large words are printed on the wall.
Attitude. Effort. Enthusiasm.
"He's taken the principles of this program and applied it to his own life," Adam said. "Now he's seeing the progress and that's kind of the cool bridge between football and his situation."
Walker returned to campus on Oct. 20 for the first time since he left on the bus headed to Connecticut. Saint Anselm played Merrimack College and Walker was highlighted on the gameday program and named an honorary captain.
"It meant everything to me," Adam said of Walker's return. "It meant everything to me as a coach, as a man, as a husband, as a father and as a mentor. It was the most important moment of our season."
Three Saturdays later, on Nov. 10, Connor made another trip to watch his teammates play on Senior Day against Pace University. It was the last football game of the year.
With his sophomore season cut short due to his injury and the season finished, Walker had to think about his football future.
Mainly, if there will be one.
"It really doesn't seem like something that is the smartest thing to do," he said of playing football again, "and, I honestly, mentally, I wouldn't be able to go through it again. … And like I said, I got lucky one time and I don't know if next time, you know, I will be as lucky again."
LISTEN: Connor talks about his football future
Just a torso
There's a scene in the Will Ferrell comedy "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" where Ferrell, who plays a racecar driver named Ricky Bobby, thinks he's paralyzed from the waist down after a car crash.
A fellow racecar driver and Bobby's pit crew chief tell Bobby that it's all in his head and that he's not paralyzed.
"So to prove it, Ricky Bobby takes a knife and stabs his leg," said Walker's father.
"He gets up and is screaming and running around and saying 'I can walk, I can walk,'" said the younger Walker.
On his first night at Spaulding after he was transferred from Yale New Haven Hospital, coincidentally, that movie was on TV.
"So I watched it," Walker said.
Afterward, he showed his favorite clips of the movie to his family and friends. They've used humor to combat what's been the hardest time of their lives.
"If I didn't know I had legs, I'd be convinced I'm just a torso," Walker said. "… Like Centaur."
With his football career behind him and still without feeling in his legs – Walker is thinking about his future.
And thankful he has one.
"It's awful that it happened and I wouldn't wish this on anybody," he said. "But I'm blessed the way I can recover and the way I can get my mobile function back. I'm going to be able to walk again."
Still, the timetable for Walker to regain feeling in his legs is unclear.
"I had brought his MRI over to a doctor I used to work for," his mother said. "He told me, 'Jean, I'm going to be honest with you. This could take up to a year for him to get feeling back.'"
Whether feeling returns to his legs or not, Walker plans on being back at Saint Anselm for the second semester when it starts in January.
"I want to get back on my feet as soon as possible," he said, "and take back my life and become a normal kid again."
He doesn't want to float on air any longer.
He just wants things to go back the way they were. It may take a while, but Walker is confident he will get there.
One step at a time.

This is my first entry blog ever, and I'm struggling to figure out what my blogging style will be. It's sort of like how I often see dress ties I think look great on other people, but when it gets down to committing and shelling over good money for a tie and imagining myself wearing it, all the colors and patterns seem a little too drab, or a little too gaudy, or too dressy, or too weird, or whatever. (My solution is to pick two or three favorites and not wear ties often enough for anyone to figure out that's all I have. Usually only job interviews and weddings).
I read all kinds of witty, cleverly styled blogs, but now that I sit down and ponder pressing the "POST" button, somehow I'm scared my blog will come across as too clever, or too boring, or too pretentious, or too self-serving, or too serious, or too fluffy, or whatever.
Blogging is probably about to go out of style anyway, right as I finally get into it, but I'm not doing it because its in or I would have started long ago.
Why am I blogging? It's kind of scary for me, throwing my ideas out there to the public scrutiny. For most of my life the most common comment I heard from people was, "You're so quiet! ". Now I lead a User Group for programmers and a significant part of my career is public speaking and publishing my ideas. Basically I overcame a very introverted nature over the years because a) I knew it was anti-social so I pushed myself to reach out and interact, b) its not fun to be called the quiet one, and c) somehow over the years I grew out of most of the insecurity that made me quiet in the first place.
1) Blogging is my way of getting into the fray. To stop being shy and contribute to the conversation. To stand up and be somebody.
2) So everyone will know how smart I am. ;-) Seriously, I have found that having the courage to speak up and publish or present my ideas has made a huge difference in my career in terms of getting enough respect to do the things I enjoy doing. While I've published things I look back on and now disagree with, I've also published things that I now look back on and know that I do occasionally have something worth saying.
3) Writing things down forces you to think things through so good ideas aren't just bouncing around in a fuzzy state, but can actually be fleshed out and maybe become useful. And putting it out there publicly solicits responses from readers (both supportive and critical) that help affirm or correct those ideas.
4) A blog entry can be however long I want and whenever I want, unlike writing books which can hang over your head for a year or more. That's why I like writing articles more than books. But that's also why I immensely respect folks who have the guts to sign up for writing a book, the confidence to sell a publisher on actually funding it, and the tenacity and discipline to actually deliver on it.
What kind of blog will this be? A mix of what I like in other blogs:
1) Hopefully a lot of specific useful information around the programming technologies I like to focus on (.NET, BizTalk, WS-*, XML, etc). When Googling for help on bugs or tricky undocumented technical issues, I just as often find the answer on some blog as I do in the MSDN library or Knowledge Base articles. I hope to provide some of that to others.
2) Occasionally pontification on "architectural" issues (SOA, OOP, scalability, Modelling, etc.) and development "methodologies" (MSF, RUP,XP, etc.). My theme here is "Keepin it Real". I love designing and building large complex systems, solving hard technical problems, and trying to come up with ways to make the process of designing and building large complex systems better, faster, easier, and more reliable. But I can't stand "architectural" discussions when they aren't tied to concrete implementation ideas. While I can just as easily as the next guy get wild-eyed about a deep new insight that will change computing as we know it, I immediately roll my eyes and fall asleep when the discussion gets into the realm of fluff. No disrespect to the folks that run and attend the Archtiectural Summits, but the only value I got out of last year's summit in Palm Springs was a couple good rounds of golf. I'm sure there is a need for Enterprise Architecture and Governance and all that, but that's not where you'll find me. I've decided I am an Enterprise Application Architect a la PEAA (Fowler), not an Enterprise Architect.
3) Maybe occasional opining about commercial technology choices (like what MP3 player or smart phone or whatever I should buy). These will mostly be to solicit responses from those of you who are more hip and don't wait until something is about to go out of style before you try it.

Solving the Struggle of Older Workers
David Thigpen, The Huffington Post.
Once upon a time, like clockwork, workers in their late 50s and early 60s could begin looking forward to their golden years of retirement. Not anymore. New numbers published by the U.S Department of Labor confirm a trend that has long been visible in retail stores, factories, restaurants and offices everywhere: older workers are holding onto their jobs well beyond what was once considered retirement age, and often not by choice.

As the capital of the United States, Washington, D.C. is a densely populated city with a lot of interesting places, especially if you are into history and politics. The White House is usually the first thing that people think of when it comes to the U.S. capital, but there are much more buildings that you should know about - the Supreme Court, the National Mall, United States Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, the Smithsonian Museums, etc.
If you're coming to Washington, D.C. and looking for some entertainment, you should go to Dupont Circle - a very popular neighborhood. Visit dance clubs and bars at night or eclectic restaurants and coffee shops during the day. If you want to see some interesting performances, go to Ford's Theatre. There are some great tours you could take, such as the Lincoln Assassination Tour

Metcalf discount liquor
In expansive, chain stores – costs are settled, so you can not deal there. Get a discount there on the off chance that you have an exceptional card or discount coupons. A decent method to get a discount is metcalf discount liquor.
What is metcalf discount liquor code?
In web based business and web based shopping a metcalf discount liquor code, or promotion code, is a PC created code, comprising of letters or numbers that customers can go into a limited time box on a websites shopping basket (or checkout page) to acquire a discount on their buy.
How does a metcalf discount liquor code function?
A few retailers call them limited metcalf discount liquor codes, others call them coupon codes. They are both a similar thing – an advanced coupon. Rather than having a printed coupon to hand the retailer, you enter a code in a crate amid checkout on the web. It works simply like a print coupon, helping you set aside some cash off your request.
How would you metcalf discount liquor?
The essential method to compute a metcalf discount liquor is to duplicate the first cost by the decimal type of the rate. To figure the deal cost of a thing, subtract the discountfrom the first cost. You can do this utilizing a mini-computer, or you can round the cost and gauge the metcalf discount liquor in your mind.

Weekly FinTech Tip: If Your System is Working Particularly Well, You Should Be Worried
People tend to freak out when things crash. I often hear people say, "I'm worried that hackers are causing this disruption somehow". Me? I'm more worried when things are going well. Hackers? They're not interested in drawing attention to themselves, and the last thing they want to do is crash something and have some system admin come sniffing around, looking to see what's wrong. The hackers plan on staying in your system for a long time. It takes a while to poke around and find the information they need. The longer they can stay in your system, the more information and data they can get.
Equifax hackers were in there for months. We often find out that these hackers have had access to these systems for a very long time. The TGA backs hackers were in the T.J. Maxx system for almost 18 months. They had trouble getting a large file over the firewall. They needed to send the data they were stealing out through the Internet, and the firewall wouldn't let them. So, what did they do? They fixed it. Imagine that everyone's having trouble getting a large file out of the firewall, and suddenly, it fixes itself.
Sometimes, we have a tendency to take a look at something like that and think to ourselves, "Wow. Good luck. It fixed itself". Things do not magically fix themselves, so when something suddenly starts working, be suspicious. Logs are your friend. There aren't enough logs in the world to make me happy. I like to look at logs. Make sure your security people do as well. When things are going particularly good, that's when you should be worried. Always look into everything that magically fixes itself, because the reality is, computers do nothing without us doing something to them. There are no accidents. Computers don't work that way. Anomalies are very few and far between.

These were the bomb!! Made as written the first time, but added chopped onion and sautéed with the pepper before adding to the batter the next time. Grandkids love this "breakfast for dinner"!!
Apr 19, 2011
We make something very similar, but instead of using biscuit mix we use our regular h/m pancake recipe and add the spices and onions, grated cheese, peppers, real bacon bits, and mushrooms to the batter, then fry up. Very yummy. We serve with honey mustard and ketchup but pizza sauce would work as well, I suppose.
Feb 1, 2011
The perfect breakfast or brunch food for pizza lovers! I read the other reviews, and added some garlic powder, onion powder, and a few other spices. The second time we made them we omitted the pepperoni and they were just as good. I added onions and other colors of peppers. Instead of mixing the cheese in, we put it on top of the cooked pancakes. Yummy! This recipe is a keeper and easily adjustable!
May 18, 2010
My family loves this recipe! We make these fairly often, and sometimes we use different vegetables in thses pancakes such as mushrooms and onions. I have even tripled the batch for a crowd.
Mar 23, 2010
These were okay. I thought they were very bland. My hubby liked them , though. Topped with sauce and sprinkled cheese and ate like regular pancakes.
Sep 29, 2009
we tryed this, I wish I would have trippled it. I added hambugar & onions. delicious
Apr 9, 2009
The kids did loves this but I thought it need some more season..I will make them again. They are very easy to make and easy for my kids to eat without the mess!
Nov 20, 2008
This recipe is SOOO good!Instead of making them like pancakes, I use my waffle iron. I was not impressed doing it in a skillet. I found they stuck horribly and I had to take them out in pieces. I have did some experimenting with this recipe, and instead of using pizza ingredients used items that I would use to make hamburgers. I used ground meat, onion powder, american cheese slices torn into pieces. Then serve lettuce, tomato, ketchup/miracle whip/mustard with them. They are really good!Thought about the next time I do them to make Taco Waffles. And use the taco seasoning, meat and cheddar cheese in the mix..and serve it with whatever you top your taco's with. YUMMY! I have thought of many, many different ways to fix these.The ideas are almost endless. These are such a hit with my family, that my kids grab the leftovers out of the fridge, including my 16 mo old boy and scarfs them down cold! I also found my family likes the pizza recipe much better without the italian seasoning.

fantastic and fun!

this is a great recipe for kids. my little sister begs me to make it again and again!

Albert Einstein is none for all things scientific. Be it the photoelectric effect, the theory of relativity, thermodynamics and what not! He is the benchmark when it comes to classifying someone as a genius.
Einstein said, "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." Children from all over the world wrote letters to him which he also answered!
Here are five letters and their answers from Einstein that you should read today.
1. When a child asked him about when the world will end:
A little girl named Monique, asked Einstein in 1951 about the beginning and the end of the world. To which Einstein replied, "There has been an Earth since a little more than a billion years. As for the question of the end of it I advise: Wait and see!" Eventually, scientists found out that the blue planet was more than 4.5 billion years old.
2. When a girl had trouble with mathematics:
Like most of us, a girl in 1943 was having trouble with mathematics in school. She wrote to Einstein about her difficulty to which he replied,
"…Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.
Best regards,
Professor Albert Einstein."
3. A kid once asked Einstein to describe what he looked like!
We wonder how Einstein must have first felt on reading this letter. When a child asked him to describe himself, he said, "… Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny beginning of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth … and a pen in pocket or hand. But crooked legs and warts he does not have, and so is quite handsome – also no hair on his hands as is so often found with ugly men."
4.A girl asked him if scientists pray:
The letter from a girl name Phyllis read,
"We have brought up the question: Do scientists pray? in our Sunday school class. It began by asking whether we could believe in both science and religion. We are writing to scientists and other important men, to try and have our own question answered.
We will feel greatly honored if you will answer our question: Do scientists pray, and what do they pray for?
We are in the sixth grade, Miss Ellis's class."
Einstein replied to this one and said,
"Dear Phyllis,
I will attempt to reply to your question as simply as I can. Here is my answer:
Scientists believe that every occurrence, including the affairs of human beings, is due to the laws of nature. Therefore a scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a supernaturally manifested wish.
However, we must concede that our actual knowledge of these forces is imperfect, so that in the end the belief in the existence of a final, ultimate spirit rests on a kind of faith. Such belief remains widespread even with the current achievements in science.
But also, everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that some spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe, one that is vastly superior to that of man. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is surely quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive.
With cordial greetings,
your A. Einstein"
5. When children of an elementary school sent him a gift on his 76th birthday:
Einstein answered the letter on March 26, 1955 – only a few days before he passed away on April 18, 1955. In the letter he said, "…I thank you all for the birthday present you have sent to me and for your congratulation letter. Your present will be quite an encouragement to me to dress a little more elegant in the future than I did up to now, because tie pin and cuff links only existed as far away memories for me."
Once a child advised him to get a haircut. A letter read, "…I saw your picture in the paper. I think you ought to have a haircut, so you can look better." There were other letters too with vague questions that were often addressed to Albert Einstein.

Follow the dividend investment decisions of a person who has no background in financial investment and wishes to take control of their financial future to retire from their full-time job at 60.
May Dividend Income - 31 May 2019 20:47
Tags: monthly_income
After 32 years of clocking in and out of work and religiously saving 10% annually every year, in good times and bad, I have decided to share my monthly dividend income to show what regular saving and investing can accomplish.
For the month of May I made $2,412; an increase of 9.16% versus this time last quarter. The bulk of the increase came from dividend increases announced in the first quarter that are finally paying out.
For the month I made 5 stock purchases. Two were brand new positions in 3M (MMM) and Williams-Sonoma (WSM) and three buys were adding to positions in Leggett & Platt (LEG), Iron Mountain (IRM) and Weyerhaeuser (WY). I haven't done this much buying in a while but market prices started retreating making some stocks affordable.
I'm tapped for cash right now and markets are continuing to drop making for quite a few decent entry points. I seriously hope that the markets stay depressed through the end of summer so I can capitalize on some decent yields from re-invested dividends to help juice up my forward dividend income.
Looking at my 3 year goal metric I improved my percent complete by 0.83% from last month and most of that is coming from all the recent buying activity I have been doing.
Progress on my last goal of saving an additional $2,000 of emergency cash increased from $200 to $650. Nice boost from last month but I am still off target by $300. - Comments: 2
No Mortgage Does Not Equal Less Expenses - 28 May 2019 22:02
Last summer I had the joy of paying my mortgage off and owning my home free and clear. It's the accomplishment many homeowner's dream of and I accomplished it by age 50. It wasn't accomplished through anything special, I bought a house I could afford and never moved or refinanced. There was no secret sauce to paying off a mortgage if that is what you were looking for but it is a reflection my saving and investing style.
The achievements I made with my investments where I now generate a consistent monthly dividend income (albeit 95% tax deferred) was done through decades of consistent savings just like my mortgage was paid off through decades of consistent repayment. Unfortunately though the cost of home ownership is far from over after the mortgage is paid off.
For those not aware of my background, most of my adult life I was the single income supporting a family of five. Money was always tight and we made sacrifices (no big faraway vacations, used cars, etc..) to save a little each month and to keep a house with a yard to raise our children. Much like our sacrifices with living expenses & savings we also made sacrifices with home improvements. When we first bought the house I made very tactical improvements that were needed to sustain the house like a new roof, furnace, central air conditioning, flooring, and upgraded a bathroom which suffered from water damage by the previous owner. The kitchen, which is typically the first upgrade a homeowner tackles, is something I avoided due to the high costs.
At the time we bought our home the kitchen was a tacky early 1970's design. I t was ugly but functional so we chose not go into further debt and live with it. Flash forward 23 years later and that 1970's kitchen is starting to see its end of life. Cabinet doors are having issues, the old vinyl flooring is cracking and wallpaper is starting to peel back. The biggest expense I have been avoiding all these years is finally catching up to me. That said in the next 5 years I will be gutting & remodeling my kitchen and an adjoining hallway. All said, I predict the total costs to be near $35,000. But the expenses do not end there.
Remember those "tactical" upgrades I made when first bought my house, well they are coming up on their end of life and will need to be replaced in the next to 5 to 7 years. At a minimum I am looking at a new roof, furnace, and central air unit which will add another $14,000. My bathroom, after taking punishment from 3 kids, will need to be redone in about 7 to 10 years adding another $5000.
All of this work gets chalked up to home maintenance and if we tally it up that is a whopping $54,000 over the next 5 to 10 years and this assumes I am doing some of the work myself. There are without a doubt pluses and minuses to owning a home and this is obviously one of the big minuses. Sad part is I own a small home. What would these costs be if I owned a larger home? The ironic piece is if I break up the remodeling costs to a monthly cost over the next 10 years it is equal to the monthly mortgage payment I just finished paying off!
Looking towards a positive, one benefit I will have are my children. The oldest graduates from college this December and will get a full time job and my other children will follow suit every 2 years after that. In theory, after 6 years I should have no expenses for children which should free up $20,000 a year in expenses (yes kids come with a price). I might be counting my chickens before they are hatched but for now I will continue to invest a large portion of my extra income generated from no longer having a mortgage on the hopes my expenses will be dropping dramatically over the next 6 years to cover the expense of remodeling. - Comments: 0

New Buy WY - 17 May 2019 19:42
I bought my first position in Weyerhaeuser back in December 2018 at $22.75/share. At the time the stock had fallen due to timber prices crashing and I scooped up a small position not knowing if that was the bottom. Since that time, the stock quickly rose above $25/share and for 2019 dropped below $25/share only once until today so I decided to swoop in and grab some shares.
As many know from my buying history I typically buy 3 lots of $1000 so this makes only my second lot. If the price drops further later in the year I'll grab more but if it remains above $25 then I will not buy.

It's been quite the busy week for me, since the beginning of the year I've been buying one or two stocks every other month but this week prices relaxed enough for me to let the cash flow with 4 stock buys in just one week.

Portfolio Activity
Another week of not buying or selling but a couple more stocks saw some weakness. Williams-Sonoma (WSM) and Leggett & Platt (LEG) both had come down in price enough to catch my eye. For the month of May I have enough cash to make two purchases and if we add in Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) I have three potential targets this month.
Overall REIT stocks continue to be fully or over-valued, unless a major change in the market happens I do not foresee any purchases on that front.

We have discussed trade secrets in some of our recent posts. A federal lawsuit alleging misappropriation of trade secrets involving the manufacturing processes of Costco dog food bags has been filed in the U.S. District Court in the Western District of Missouri, reports the News Tribune in Jefferson City.
The Costco dog-food bag dispute
Gateway Packaging manufactures flexible packaging products at its Kansas City, Missouri factory. Diamond Pet Foods of Meta approached Gateway to develop a new pet-food bag for Kirkland Costco dog food. The previous bag supplier was Morris Converting of Jefferson City, but Gateway sought a different source after Costco complained that Morris' bags were easily punctured by shopping carts.
After a two-year development process that cost $2 million, Gateway began supplying bags to Diamond for Costco dog food. According to the News Tribune, Gateway says its revenues grew from $400,000 in 2014 to a level of $4.6 million the next year.
Diamond terminated the relationship with Gateway as of March 1, 2018. On March 6, Gateway filed a 35-page complaint alleging that prior Diamond employees, who had been hired by the parent company of Morris Converting, had misappropriated trade secrets about Diamond's manufacturing processes for the dog food bags and given them to Morris to develop a similar bag.
The article reports that the complaint asserts that Diamond and Morris conspired to talk the two employees into leaving Gateway.
Nondisclosure agreements
The two prior Gateway employees had received internal Gateway emails that included the bag specifications and the "technical data sheet," says the News Tribune, citing the complaint. They had signed nondisclosure agreements that prevented them from revealing trade secrets during employment and for two years after they left.
The lawsuit reportedly alleges that the employees could not have "viably functioned" in their new jobs without Gateway trade secrets and Morris could not have "so quickly engineered and produced" a competing bag without the secrets.
The News Tribune states that the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the case because the information used to manufacture the bag was already widely known in the industry, so it could not have been the subject of a trade secret. The defendants also say that the lawsuit does not describe the specific secrets allegedly revealed nor facts to support the alleged conspiracy.
The article says that Gateway sued Diamond's parent company, Morris Converting and its parent company, as well as the two former employees. The plaintiff seeks almost $10 million in actual damages, the same amount for unjust enrichment, exemplary (punitive, designed to punish) damages, plus royalties.
We will keep an eye on this suit as it evolves, with trial scheduled for October 2019.

Obama To Make Scholarships Available to Single Mothers
Article by Marlon Jackson
Having to take care of their families on their own, single, working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all. For many moms, a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities, is higher education. With his new administration, however, President Obama is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Working mothers are being given a great chance to improve their futures by Obama scholarships. Obama, whilst encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education, is urging working moms in particular to participate in his Scholarships for Moms program. The Scholarships for Moms program will build on the federal government's long-standing offer of Pell grants. Applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, Pell grants are the most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college. To encourage more mothers to return to school, the Obama administration is now making some changes. The biggest incentive for the Scholarships for Moms program is in the amount of money being offered. $ 4000 per student is the maximum amount awarded through Pell grants, but that amount is increased to $ 5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. The purpose of these grants is to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree. That in turn allows them to better provide for their families now and in the future. By equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals, the administration also hopes that this will also stimulate the economy. Without worrying about the costs of school or having to pay back money for a loan, Moms can receive an education.
An additional great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly all types of higher education institution. Four-year universities are covered as well as smaller community colleges. You can choose either to go to a private school or a public one. For busy moms where staying on campus isn't an option, online course study is offered. The government's Scholarships for Moms program really is a comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers back into the classroom.
The Obama scholarship attempts to take the worry out of returning to school. In almost any area of interest working moms can earn a degree, so that they are fully equipped to provide for their families. An unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal no longer has to be higher education. The Scholarships for Moms program has been designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.

PSNews-Special editions of the four classic literature works, including "Don Quixote", "Robin Hood", "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" and "The Golden Key" have just been published by the Kim Dong Publishing House.
The literature works, popular with many generations of readers, are parts of the series of publications in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Kim Dong Publishing House, with many illustrative pictures drawn by young Vietnamese artists.
"Don Quixote" is a classic work by Spanish novelist, playwright and great poet Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. This is one of the best works of all time, translated into many languages and reissued thousands of times. This edition by the Kim Dong Publishing House is based on the first edition of "Don Quixote", in Vietnam in 9-1959, translated by Hoang Dinh Huy (pseudonym of the poet Vo Quang).
In addition to the Vietnamese version of "Don Quixote" in his pseudonym of Hoang Dinh Huy, writer Vo Quang also translated the folk legend of the knight Robin Hood and published the Vietnamese version in January 1961. To date, Robin Hood has remained one of the most famous lore characters inspiring dramas and modern literary works.
Another of the classic literary works selected by the Kim Dong Publishing House for this occasion is "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" by German writer Rudolf Erich Raspe (1736-1794). So far, Munchausen is still one of the most admired adventurous literary figures in the world, comparable to Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver.
These 4 special editions are illustrated by painter Ly Minh Phuc, Truong Van Ngoc and Nguyen Quang Toan with colorful pictures, helping young readers to easily visualize the backgrounds and characters and wallow in the world of the works' characters.
Ta Huy Long - Artistic Manager of the Kim Dong Publishing House - one of the leading children's book illustrators in Vietnam, said that young artists have very modern and liberal views, fine-grained paintings, fine and bright color handling. The works have been done with various efforts and excellent artistic quality.

Need help identifying this wood4/12
My customer would like to use this mantle surround with some additional pieces to built by us. I'm not sure what to use. Looks a lot like teak to me, but I could really use some help on this. Thanks
Carve out a sliver with a gouge on the back or where it will be unseen.
The next day, the olive green will be gone, now brownish green.
If you need certainty, contact the Forest Products Lab in Wisconsin for instructions on how to send them a sample of the wood. If you are a citizen of the US, they will identify it for you - if it can be identified. They have no problem with domestic species, but some of the obscure woods from who-knows-where cannot be reliably identified.

New Delhi: Poll surveys predict a big dent in the AIADMK seat share in Tamil Nadu with the DMK-Congress expected to win 22-24 of the 39 Lok Sabha seats. According to News18's IPSOS exit poll, the AIADMK alliance, which includes the BJP, may win 14-16 seats. The ruling-AIADMK, which won 37 seats last time, may end up with only 8-10 seats this time. The BJP and the Congress are likely to win 1-2 and 3-5 seats, respectively.
Tamil Nadu, which accounts for the maximum number of Lok Sabha seats in south India at 39, went to polls this time bereft of its two tallest leaders, M Karunanidhi and J Jayalalithaa. The results on May 23 would be a reflection on who the electorate views as a viable alternative.
As per the India Today Axis exit poll, DMK-Congress is set for a thumping victory with 34-38 seats and AIADMK-BJP alliance is estimated to win a maximum of four seats. The Chanakya-News24 exit poll has predicted BJP alliance to win 6 seats, Congress alliance 31 seats and others are pegged at one seat. As per Republic C Voter survey, UPA is set to win 27 seats, followed by NDA with 11 seats.
The events of the last two years, the split within the AIADMK, the tumultuous revamp of the Edappadi Palaniswamy government with O Panneerselvam as his deputy and the eventual alliance with the BJP – have led to quite a bit of negative sentiment towards the ruling party. The AIADMK was looking to tame this wave of anti-incumbency with its rainbow alliance of seven parties. It has tried to consolidate its caste base in every district by tying up with parties such as the Vaniyar community-led Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK).
Typically, Tamil Nadu has always known to vote as a bloc. In the 2014 elections, the AIADMK swept the Lok Sabha elections, winning 37 of the 39 seats. In 2014, the AIADMK was in the opposition as the BJP had a brute majority to form a government at the Centre.
With pollsters ruling out absolute majority for any party, both the AIADMK and the DMK are hoping to play kingmakers for the BJP and the Congress, respectively, and hold a position of influence in such a ruling coalition.
This time, there are 38 seats in contention in Tamil Nadu since polling in Vellore constituency was cancelled due to voter bribery.
Dhinakaran Factory
After his aunt and Jayalalithaa's confidante Sasikala's incarceration for corruption, TTV Dhinakaran rebelled against the EPS-OPS leadership and became a leader in his own right when he won the by-election to Jayalalithaa's assembly constituency in December 2017. With the win, his supporters boasted that Dhinakaran had established himself as the true heir to Amma's legacy.
Launching his own party, Dhinakaran has more or less echoed the DMK's campaign pitch against "fascist BJP and slavish AIADMK".
Stalin's Strategy
The DMK, too, has attached itself to a national party -- the Congress -- with a pre-poll alliance. It was DMK chief MK Stalin who first endorsed Congress chief Rahul Gandhi as prime ministerial candidate. But to this day, he's the only one to have done so among all regional parties.
Tamil Nadu BJP chief Tamilisai Soundararajan gave rise to fresh speculation on May 14 when she told mediapersons cryptically that the DMK has "Congress on one side, and Modi on the other". Though the DMK was quick to hit back saying it never wavered in its support to the Congress, the Tamil Nadu BJP succeeded in sowing dangerous doubts.
The DMK was forced to issue repeated denials and reiterate multiple times that it had no understanding with the BJP. MK Stalin even dared the BJP to prove its claims, saying he would quit politics if the saffron party succeeded in doing so.
The DMK also made its allegiance to the Congress clear during Stalin's meeting with Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao on May 13. While KCR pitched for a federal front, Stalin reportedly asked him to back the Congress-led alliance. Sources said the DMK persuaded KCR to consider joining a Congress-led front to fight against the BJP, and that KCR did not reject the idea entirely.
Tamil Nadu has always given a decisive mandate to one of the Dravidian parties. But 2019 has seen entrants like Dhinakaran and actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan. While Dhinakaran is likely to eat into the AIADMK votes, the composition of Kamal Haasan's vote bank remains to be seen.
Bypoll Battle
While Tamil Nadu's importance for national elections cannot be overstated, focus is also on the 22 assembly bypolls, the results of which can lead to a regime change in the state.
If the DMK wins 21 of these assembly seats, it can stake claim to form the state government. The AIADMK, which still doesn't have majority in the Assembly, has to win at least five of the 22 seats to remain in power. Ideally, the EPS-OPS government must win at least 10 seats to last comfortably till 2021.

Shemika Campbell hails from a long line of limbo. Both her mother and her grandmother were limbo dancers, carrying on the traditionally Trinidadian form of dance.
source/image: Great Big Story
Shemika is keeping up the family legacy, taking limbo to a whole new low. She has set three Guinness World Records, including the record for lowest limbo at only 8.5 inches.
Now, she's traveling the world, spreading the culture of her native Trinidad and Tobago with appearances on "America's Got Talent," "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and "The Late Late Show."
For those of us that aren't even anywhere as thin as 8.5 inches, going that low is unfathomable.She says limbo helps preserve part of her culture. This is a cultural thing. This is a very important thing because I feel like with me being blessed with this unique talent.

Exciting Blitzbok youngsters help put mediocre start behind them
Blitzbok captain Philip Snyman believes that the team's mediocre start to the 2018/19 HSBC World Sevens Series campaign is behind them and they are ready to show the form that won the title for the past two seasons.
The Blitzboks have a new look squad this season due to injuries and players moving on to fifteens' but there is a still a strong experienced core.
After two rounds of the 10-legged series the Blitzboks are fifth' eight points behind log leaders the USA.
They desperately need to rediscover the form that has yielded back-to-back World Series titles to rekindle their chase for a third title in a row.
Snyman is one of the most experienced campaigners having been part of all the Blitzboks World Series winning teams in 2009' 2017 and 2018.
He has played 56 tournaments and along with Kyle Brown (67 tournaments)' Chris Dry (64 tournaments) and Branco du Preez (63 tournaments) are the backbone of the evolving team.
But it's the exciting potential of the likes of Impi Visser (two tournaments)' Selvyn Davids (seven tournaments) and Dewald Human (six tournaments) that has the captain optimistic.
"The SA Rugby Sevens Academy has produced some real talent in recent years'" said Snyman.
"We have lost the likes of Rosko Specman' Dylan Sage and Tim Agaba from last year's team and still have a couple of injured players back home' but all the right ingredients are in this year's group to make it successful again.
"The old hands know what is needed and the young ones will bring it on. The fact that we had a slower start was a good thing as this time around we will pick up speed and gather momentum as we train and play together more and more.
"In previous years' we had fast starts and had to hold on towards the end of the season. This time it looks to be the other way around'" predicted the experienced captain.
Snyman missed last year's trip to New Zealand due to injury and will play in Hamilton for the first time.
The various team captains visited Turangawaewae Marae in Ngaruawahia' the official residence and reception centre of the Māori King' on Wednesday and to Snyman it was another special memory in his stellar career.
"It was special to share this with the captains today' no doubt'" said Snyman.
"It is also wonderful to play in the tournament this weekend where Kyle Brown will equal Frankie Horne's record of 68 World Series tournaments and great to have Chris Dry back as well' after more than a year on the sidelines.
"I never had serious injuries' while Kyle and Chris did' so it will be a superb feeling to run out with both them yet again."
The South Africans face Kenya' France and Scotland in Pool C and Snyman said his team talk would be an easy one:
"We trained hard the last couple of weeks. We need to leave all the emotions and personal achievements behind and go and execute." The Blitzboks' schedule for the first day is (SA times' all matches on SuperSport):
Friday' 25 January at 23h22: vs Kenya
Saturday 26 January at 03h10: vs France
Saturday 26 January at 07h22: vs Scotland

Sink capacity is important for determining not only the type and style, but the size of the sink to put in your home. This is a useful way to install the right sink in your new kitchen. Capacity affects your ability to perform certain washing and cooking tasks, and it determines how effective your sink is in the long run.
What is Capacity
Capacity is the amount a certain vessel will hold. Capacity relates to individual units; for instance, the capacity of a theater is measured in persons, or it is a volume measurement, like when a container capacity is measured in liters. Either way it tells you how much something holds or contains. Not all items have a capacity measurement, but that does not mean there is no way to measure it.
Sink Capacity
Sink capacity is not measured by the manufacturer and it is not listed as one of the measurements on the sink's specifications. However, there is a way to determine it. Measuring capacity is the same as measuring volume in most cases where the vessel or container holds water or another liquid. Since sinks hold water, measuring the volume gives you an ideal capacity measurement. Use this measurement to compare the capacity of different sinks.
How to Measure Sink Capacity
When purchasing sinks you see three main measurements. This includes the length and width of the sink along with the bowl depth. Remember that the length and width of the rimmed sink is not the same as the bowl dimensions. To find the sink capacity, always use the sink bowl measurements, not the overall sink dimensions. Simply multiply bowl depth by bowl width, and multiply that by the sink's length. In double bowl sinks, there are two separate bowls, and each is a different size. So, find the capacity for both separately and add them together.
Large Capacity Vs. Small Capacity
There are advantages to a large capacity sink. It holds more dishes, fruit and water for cleaning for one. However, large capacity sinks require more countertop space; therefore, you have less room to prepare food. Large capacity sinks also weigh more when full, so they will pull down on the countertop and put more weight and pressure on your cabinetry. This places stress on your cabinets and countertop. This is especially true in undermount sinks that mount under the countertop. These require a strong, solid countertop surface like granite or marble to perform properly.
