Hanging on for dear life: The U.S. attack has all but vanished. Lucky for the Americans that Germany seems content to milk the clock.
How unusual for the trailing team to wish for fewer than the four minutes of stoppage time is shown to the stadium. It's the Americans who are now killing time, and they settle for a 1-0 loss -- to the serenade of "U-S-A" from the crowd -- that promotes them to the knockout phase.
RELATED: U.S. to Face Belgium on July 1
Before the end, they mount a rare penetration that nearly salvages the tie. A Bedoya shot and a Clint Dempsey header almost does the trick.
The outcome means that the U.S. can rest until Tuesday, the last day for the Round of 16, before facing the Group H winner, likely Belgium. Germany resumes Monday against the runner-up from H, with Algeria momentarily holding the edge.

As the days grow ever shorter and the nights ever longer, it is time to slow down. Our ancestors knew this. With the harvest in, and the winter stores prepared, it was time to look to home and hearth, and in sync with the rhythm of nature, it was time to sleep longer and work less. In our modern times, it's difficult to slow down. Our jobs don't stop with the harvest, and we still need to keep a busy pace. But our biology has not caught up to our modern lives. Now is a good time to pause, take stock and readjust our schedules to include more time to relax and rest.
Winter comes on silent feet
Drawing darkness in
The colder longer days increase
With each revolving spin
I will not fight the shorter hours
Ignoring nature's calls
Instead I'll slow my hectic pace
And rest as winter falls
The night invites me to my sleep
The dawn is slow to come
I slow my pace and calm my pulse
And march to nature's drum
-Deborah Blake
Some ways to rest and relax during the darker days heading into and through winter
- Take more baths. A relaxing soak in the tub, with or without some steeped herbs, oils or Epsom salts.
- Read more books.
- Enjoy a relaxing drink by the fire, or under a snugly blanket by your best window.
- Take up your knitting, crochet or other stitchwork.
- Go to bed 15 minutes earlier every night.
- Enjoy your favourite comfort foods.
- Take a leisurely walk on a crisp, fresh, cold day.
- Warm up your milk, cider, tea, or wine.
- Do a puzzle.
- Stretch more often, take up Yoga.
- Take more naps.
- Allow yourself five or ten minutes a day to just stare out the window, enjoying the feeling of being warm and cozy inside.
- Wear fuzzy slippers and your plushest house-robe at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
- Don't overschedule yourself. It's fun to get outside, go to parties, ski, etc., but its also important to take time to just nurture yourself and relax.
What sorts of things do you do slow down in the dark days?

Coming to a Sunday league near you; self appointed manager and chairman DJ Khaled, has drawn up a 13 strong team which he will play under the name of Welcome To My Hood. Ok that might not be entirely true, but it does allow for humorous mental images!
He has however called upon 12 Hip-Hop heavy weights for the official remix of Welcome To My Hood. The pulling power this man has is unquestionable; the line-up is ridiculos! And it will come as no surprise when we tell you it lives up to expectations. WOW.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the wait is over; The Strokes are back and here we have their latest record in all it's glory.
Angles is the New York bands first album for almost 5 years; an incredible wait for a group with so many plaudits and a massive following.
They kicked off all the hype with the release of Under Cover Of Darkness as a free download via their website and this was followed by leaks of Machu Pichu and You're So Right and a performance on SNL.
Listen to the album in full below and let us know if it was worth the wait!Vodpod videos no longer available.

It's fast turning into G.O.O.D. Music day here at SME with the number of related posts. For once, however, it isn't all about Kanye.
Having received the honour of being selected as a member of the XXL 2011 Freshmen Class, Cyhi The Prynce's celebrates by releasing the customary freestyle. Watch the video and see what he had to say on being selected below.Vodpod videos no longer available.
"It means a lot to me to just be known as one of the up-and-coming artists. I always like to say I got kept back twice from the Freshmen cover, but it's a privilege just being amongst some of the best up-and-coming artists out right now and being publicized by the biggest hip-hop magazine. It's a dream come true. It's what every artist wanted to be. You know they want to see themselves on the cover of a magazine, or heavily publicized, so it's an honor to me. It's a blessing and a half. Right before I linked with Kanye, my car got repossessed. Everything wasn't all peachy, peachy for me. I have a lot of plays this year due to me and this Kanye situation.
Freshman is like a stepping-stone. Most artists think this is the biggest point of their career. This is a stepping-stone to bigger and better things, especially with XXL. I want to have one with just my face on it, that's the cool thing. I just need to stay working and capitalize off of every opportunity I get."

Some local advocates are calling for the creation of walk-in mental health crisis centers in Nevada. Reno Public Radio's Noah Glick has more.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI, hosted a community discussion and fundraiser to present the benefits and challenges of building walk-in crisis centers to aid in mental health and substance use intervention.
Ginger Paulsen is the executive director of NAMI Nevada. She says many people going through a mental health crisis either end up in the emergency room or jail—and she wants to see more support for those individuals.
"We have an extremely broken system, and we have a number of people that are desperate for help," Paulsen says. "We would like to see walk-in mental health and substance use crisis centers, regionally or in communities, that people can go to or their family members can bring their loved one to, to get triaged and to get help."
Jessica Flood is the regional coordinator with Carson Tahoe Behavioral Health Services. She says walk-in crisis centers could help health care providers offer a better balance of mental health services.
"Our biggest challenge is really establishing a continuity of care," Flood says. "Right now we just have people that can go to outpatient mental health services or an inpatient hospital. We have nothing in between."
According to the non-profit Mental Health America, Nevada ranks dead last in access to critical services.

A new study being published in the journal Addictive Behaviors indicates that there may be a link between mothers who are more authoritarian and children who develop drinking problems. It was conducted by researchers at Yale University, Arizona State University and the University of Washington.
In the study, researchers noticed a chain that may account for a person's inclination to consume too much alcohol. Mothers who are authoritarian in nature force a child to develop self-concealment, they say. This is the act of hiding one's behaviors that they believe will be viewed in a negative way by others. When someone exhibits these traits they are more likely to consume alcohol at a higher rate than others.
"Authoritarian parents really [cut] off communication with the child, so issues with self-expression [arise], leading to further problems later in life," explained Robert Leeman, a researcher on the study. Authoritarian parenting is a very strict way of raising children. Parents tend to exert their will and opinion over that of a child. Alcohol abuse is oftentimes a solution for those that have a hard time expressing themselves or who have a low opinion of themselves which would fall in line with a child who was raised in authoritarian setting.
Interestingly, the study only shows this affect being present if a child has an authoritarian mother. If the father is authoritarian in nature it is viewed as protective by the child, not suppressive. This means that children with an authoritarian father had lower levels of self-concealment and therefore had less of a problem with alcohol abuse.
The study also revealed the style of parenting that results in the least amount of alcohol and drug abuse. Authoritative parenting appears to be the most effective at raising a child who does not need to consume drugs and alcohol. Authoritative (which sounds like Authoritarian, but is extremely different) parenting is a combination of high warmth coupled with strong control. This means that the child is raised in a family structure that exhibits love and offers praise but the child is expected to follow the rules.
While good parenting is definitely not a guarantee of preventing substance abuse later in life, it can absolutely be one of the best forms of early intervention.

While dividends are customarily paid to investors on a quarterly basis, some equities pay dividends monthly. Those who reinvest monthly dividends can grow their positions more quickly by using the cash to purchase additional shares of stock.
Alternatively, those who rely on this income for routine expenses can lean on monthly dividends to better keep up with the monthly bills. Investors of both ilks may wish to explore the following five notable monthly dividend-paying stocks. (Unless otherwise stated, all data is current as of August 14, 2019.)
Key Takeaways
- The vast majority of dividend-paying stocks issue payments on a quarterly basis; however, some equities pay monthly dividends, if they can sustain the cash flow needed to support this activity.
- Monthly dividends let investors purchase more shares of stock, or funnel the income towards routine expenses.
- Marquis monthly dividend-paying companies include Realty Income Corporation (O), Shaw Communications Inc. (SJR), Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA), Gladstone Commercial Corporation (GOODO), Gladstone Investment Corporation (GAIN).
Realty Income Corporation
Realty Income Corporation (O) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with some 5,900 rental properties, chiefly in the retail space. Since 1995, the company has been paying monthly dividends, supported by the cash flow generated by its property holdings, which are owned under long-term lease agreements with commercial tenants.

Shaw Communications Inc.
Canadian cable company Shaw Communications (SJR) has succeeded in growing its dividends for more than 10 years, thanks to its multiple business lines that include broadband Internet, Wi-Fi, digital phone services, and video services.
Although the company experienced cash flow troubles from 2013 through 2015, things turned positive in 2016, while net income has been up over a four-year span. While the highest stock price in the last ten years was just above $27, in November of 2014, it hit a low of $16.37 in February of 2016. Its share price has since leveled off to a respectable $19.08. Throughout all that time, the company has continued to issue attractive monthly payouts.
- Average volume: 660,792
- Market cap: $9.851 billion
- P/E ratio (TTM): 257.84
- Dividend and yield: $0.90 (4.56%)
Pembina Pipeline Corporation
Pembina Pipeline (PBA) provides transportation and midstream services for the North American energy industry. Its three business silos include facilities, new ventures, and pipelines. While the company has a reliable monthly dividend payment history, it does not have the long track record of growing its dividends, commensurate with the other stocks featured on this list, partly because oil prices recently went through an extended slump.
Even so, the company has grown its dividend for the past five years and currently pays 5.09%.
- Average volume: 469,989
- Market cap: $18.555 billion
- P/E ratio (TTM): 19.79
- Dividend and yield: $1.82 (4.98%)
Gladstone Commercial Corporation
Gladstone Commercial Corporation (GOODO), the second REIT featured on this list, operates net leased industrial and office properties, and has made regular monthly dividend payouts since 2005.
As of April 2019, Gladstone has paid 172 consecutive monthly cash distributions on its common stock. It likewise has paid 160 consecutive monthly cash distributions on its Series A Preferred Stock, 151 consecutive monthly cash distributions on its Series B Preferred Stock, and 36 consecutive monthly cash distributions on its Series D Preferred Stock.
Gladstone's share price has been remarkably consistent. While it dipped to a low of $7.70 in February 2009, since mid-2010, its share price has steadfastly hovered in the mid- to high-20s range.
- Average volume: 1,475
- Market cap: $660.41 million
- P/E ratio (TTM): 1,247.73
- Dividend and yield: $1.88 (6.88%)
Gladstone Investment Corporation
Gladstone Investment (GAIN), which focuses on buyouts and recapitalizations of companies, has grown its dividend for over five years. This, coupled with rosy prospects for a robust buyout market moving forward, make this monthly income stock an attractive prospect for income-seeking investors.
- Average volume: 128,850
- Market cap: $373.52 million
- P/E ratio (TTM): 6.75
- Dividend and Yield: $0.82 (7.08%)
Each company that issues a dividend has an ex-dividend date, and investors must own the stock before that date in order to receive the dividend.
The Bottom Line
While more frequent dividend payments mean smoother income streams, investors should choose their monthly dividend stocks only after conducting robust due diligence on a company's core fundamentals, and not solely because of its high monthly payout history.
Furthermore, investors should be aware that slashes in monthly dividends signal that a business isn't performing well enough to sustain these payments, or that management may be shifting to a quarterly or annual dividend payment schedule.

Jonathan Nagioff takes a close look at the 'Juggernaut' Joe Joyce, his past present and future
At 33 years old, British heavyweight Joe Joyce has now established himself as a serious contender in the blue-riband division and takes the next step on July 13, meeting veteran former world title contender Bryant Jennings at the O2.
The Olympic silver medallist had a prolonged amateur career, eventually making the switch to the paid ranks just prior to his 32nd birthday with a powerful stoppage victory over compatriot Ian Lewison in October 2017, after losing out on Olympic glory controversially to Frenchman Tony Yoka in Rio.
However, two years on from turning over plenty has changed for the south Londoner and, against Jennings, Joyce can make another important stride as he looks to extend his unblemished record to 10-0.
The early stages
Joyce has certainly been fast-tracked on his professional journey and can you really blame him or his advisors with the "Juggernaut" not getting any younger? His nine straight wins should not be understated, featuring as they do some high-profile opponents many would avoid until far later in their careers. As mentioned, Joyce went straight in at a decent level to face fellow Brit Ian Lewison on his debut. Joyce, unfazed and calm throughout, forced a stoppage within eight rounds, whereas Dillian Whyte had taken eight rounds to overcome Lewison a year earlier.
The Putney-born puncher soon had his hands around his first major title, making history to become the first heavyweight to claim the Commonwealth strap in just his fourth outing as a professional, blasting past Jamaican Lenroy Thomas inside two rounds.
Two further impressive, yet albeit expected victories over former world title challengers Bermane Stiverne and Alexander Ustinov have opened his 2019 account. A victory over Jennings on Saturday would confirm Joyce's status as a fringe world-level challenger at the very worst.
Trainer and team changes
From an outsider looking in, Joyce has seemingly racked up nine consecutive victories without much of a fuss. However his unbeaten streak and guidance under manager Sam Jones and Adam Morallee, alongside Richard Schaefer's Ringstar Sports, have been the only constants in his short professional climb.
Joyce has switched between three trainers and three promoters in less than two years but looks to have finally settled with highly acclaimed coach Adam Booth, whilst leaving the fight-staging to Frank Warren in association with Ringstar.
The "Juggernaut" naturally dedicates his early success to former promoter David Haye, who launched his career with Hayemaker Promotions alongside Schaefer. Following Haye's shock first defeat to Tony Bellew, the former two-weight world champion parted company with Shane McGuigan, bringing in Cuban Ismael Salas who also took on Joyce.
Joe's victory over Thomas was on the undercard of Haye's blockbuster rematch with Bellew, however defeat for the Londoner spelled the end of a 16-year career and Salas moved into semi-retirement.
Joyce and Haye also ended their brief affiliation, but Schaefer remained on board with Jones and Morallee, and Joyce headed to Big Bear to link up with middleweight world champion, Gennady Golovkin's then-coach Abel Sanchez, whilst veteran American 'advisor' Al Haymon joined the team to grow Joyce's brand even further.
The Sanchez-Joyce pairing only lasted three fights, including victory over Deontay Wilder's former two-time victim Bermane Stiverne last year, as well as sparring with Tyson Fury ahead of the latter's December classic with the "Bronze Bomber". Although, with Joyce opting to return to the UK, there was no other option but to part company and whilst talks reportedly took place with Eddie Hearn, Warren snapped up the unbeaten heavywweight, with Adam Booth, Haye's former trainer, taking the reins in the gym. Funny how boxing works out!
The opponent
Joyce must surely step up a gear on Saturday night as he faces another tough test in the form of experienced American Bryant Jennings. The 34-year-old has just three losses on his record, taking Wladimir Klitschko the distance in 2015, although he was knocked out in the final round by Dillian Whyte's next adversary, Oscar Rivas, in January.
It's a high-risk clash but the rewards definitely outweigh any danger of defeat. Ultimately, the question is what does Jennings have left in the tank? A knockout defeat is never ideal preparation, especially when heading over to another fighter's backyard, plus his best wins over the likes of former WBO champion, Siarhei Liakovich and ex-world title challenger Artur Szpilka were as long as seven years ago, suggesting he is past his best.
However, Jennings does hold a potentially crucial advantage in that he has fought at the elite level, albeit falling short, while Joyce is yet to really reach the same heights.
The options
Joyce's bout with Jennings is part of a double heavyweight showdown at the O2, with Joe's promotional stablemates Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman facing off for the vacant British heavyweight title. With Dubois, Gorman and Joyce under the same Queensbury Promotions banner, future matchups between them appear inevitable and won't be difficult to make in an era where the most exciting potential fights often fall by the wayside.
The British Boxing Board of Control had initially ordered Joyce vs Dubois for the Lonsdale Belt. However, the "Juggernaut" passed up the chance for the lure of an even bigger fight, enabling Gorman to step in. Joyce's manager Sam Jones even threw his man's name into the hat to face Anthony Joshua when Jarrell Miller was forced to pull out of a scheduled fight after failing several drug tests. But there again, almost every heavyweight cleared the calendar for the golden ticket on June 1 at Madison Square Garden.
Former world title challengers Alexander Povetkin and Dereck Chisora were both mooted as Joyce opponents. The latter was the prime target when David Haye promoted Joyce, but now as manager of Chisora will Haye be willing to entertain the same fight, with the shoe on the other foot? European champion Agit Kabayel could also be lined up before the year is out, with Joyce the mandatory challenger for both the German's belt and, as WBA Gold champ, the strap held by Regular titlist Manuel Charr. The Kabayel fight would make sense for Joyce considering the EBU ruler is ranked highly by three of the four governing bodies, with victory placing him on the cusp of a world title fight.
With the heavyweight landscape undergoing a period of change following Anthony Joshua's shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr, the new crop, of which Joyce despite his age is a part, will fancy their chances of mixing with the elite of the division and could possibly see themselves involved in the biggest fights in the not-too-distant future. Nevertheless, for all this swift progress, future opportunities may be nothing short of fantasy if Joyce is unable to beat Jennings convincingly on July 13.

The demand for liquefied gases is more than for gases so we manufacture air separation plant using cryogenic air separation technology. We offer the most competitive air separation plant setup cost. Air separation process used in the plant would depend on factors such as number of gases and liquid products to be generated, purity needed and delivery pressures. Once you receive air separation unit cost estimate from us you will have fair idea about the air separation plant price.Moreover, generating nitrogen only is simple and consumes less power to operate as compared to producing oxygen that requires significantly more power. Producing both oxygen and nitrogen in the air separation unit cost less. However, producing liquid oxygen and nitrogen would require additional equipment and so the air separation unit cost estimate might increase. Want to know about cost of liquid oxygen plant and medical oxygen plant project cost?

TV Commercial Makeup Artist | AliveCor Commercial
TV Commercial Makeup Artist | AliveCor Commercial
As a TV Commercial makeup artist, I was hired by Williamson Adams, a San Francisco based production company to work on an AliveCor TV commercial video + photo campaign. We worked on this shoot over 2 days around Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, CA. Our celebrity talent was Mark Spitz. Mark is an American former competitive swimmer and nine-time Olympic champion. He won seven gold medals at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, all in world record time.
On the first day of this shoot we captured campaign images and on the second day we focused on the video aspect of the commercial shoot. Our team was small yet very professional. I bought many wardrobe choices for Mark so we would have multiple options to choose from on the shoot day. As we got ready with the wardrobe I simultaneously worked on his hair & makeup. It was great working with Mark, he is very used to branded shoots due to his endorsements of many athletic brands, past and present.
AliveCor is a medical device and artificial intelligence company that sells ECG hardware and software for consumer mobile devices. The company is the first to receive FDA-clearance for a medical-device accessory to the Apple Watch.
About the agency Williamson Adams: They build brands from the ground up. They refresh those that have gone stale. They dream up marketing and ad campaigns. They handle digital projects of nearly all type. They create content in the form of writing, film, animation, photography, or just about anything they can take a crack at.
I had a great time working with the Williamson Adams team as a Los Angeles TV Commercial makeup artist and hope to create a lasting business relationship with them for the future.

- Lead: Paula Findlen
- Start Date: September 2009
- Team: Suzanne Sutherland Duchacek
Iva Lelkova
This project builds on earlier work to create a digital archive, The Athanasius Kircher Correspondence Project created by Michael John Gorman and Nick Wilding. It updates this correspondence archive and also explores new ways to map the political, religious, and intellectual geography of one of the most fascinating Jesuit scholars of the early modern period.
Our initial goal with this project was to update and improve the digital correspondence archive, since it was almost ten years old at the beginning of this project, and to see how difficult it would be to extract a pre-existing database of letters from a digital archive in order to visualize its contents. In 2008-10 we worked with Stanford University Libraries to accomplish these tasks. Dr. Duchacek is the principal editor of the new website that launched in 2010 (chk date; insert link). She also is responsible for editing and enhancing the data from the collection of Kircher's letters at the Gregorian University in Rome that we extracted from The Athanasius Kircher Correspondence Project.
The arrival of Dr. Lelkova as a Fulbright Exchange Scholar at Stanford (2009-10) provided us with an additional team member with special expertise in Central and Eastern Europe. During 2009-11 she updated the bibliography of Kircher's letters housed in other archives than the Gregorian University and worked with Dr. Duchacek to integrate them into the database. By 2011 we had a fairly complete database of Kircher's correspondence.
During 2010-11 the Kircher team began its collaboration with DensityDesign, experimenting with different ways to visualize the patterns of Kircher's correspondence. Duchacek and Lelkova explored the possibilities of using Fineo and presented their initial findings in March 2011 at the Cini Foundation workshop on "Mapping the Republic of Letters."
The culminating products of this research will be an interactive map of Kircher's correspondence, designed to enhance the digital archive, and an accompanying publication by Findlen, Duchacek, and Lelkova that draws upon their combined expertise to explore how a Jesuit's letters reflect the geography of knowledge in the seventeenth century. We anticipate their completion in 2012-13.

Matrimony and civil union take a look at and compare essay taste
Inspite of the developing rise in popularity of civil unions and the entire decay of marital relationship, technically married couples have many different advantages. Obtaining similar responsibilities, civil unions are often times missing out on the legal rights was pleased with by relationships, which include the ones from the correct for having frequent insurance policy and taxes ideas, having medicinal judgments and taking on boys and girls.

Partners are located alongside one another, absolutely love and address each other, have typical solutions in the future and now have a number of moral responsibilities.

Together with a assortment of parallels, civil unions and marriages have serious differences. Legislation fails to preserve the proper rights of couples inside a civil union. As a consequence, not like married couples, civil unions do not possess the ideal for home inheritance or fundamental health judgements with regards to their soulmates in the event of unexpected emergency. Simply put, there are certainly predicaments in which the condition doesn't realize the associates residing as a civil union as relatives. Although some businesses admit the habit for increased popularity of civil unions and remedy them as partnerships, it is not necessarily a very common practice. To illustrate, some corporations allow for their staff get a usual insurance policy because of their collaborators, no matter whether they can be officially wedded or maybe not. Another significant concern quite often come across by civil unions and unknown to couples is the legal right to follow young people, which can be allowed only to the latter.
In spite of the continual societal changes and the rising demand for civil unions, this method of relationships is different from public marital life regarding the legal rights given with the rules, for example right for embraced insurance packages, necessary clinical judgements, property or home inheritance and kids' adoption. While doing so, in moral good sense and concerning moral requirements, civil unions and marriages appearance completely similar. You can locate more suggestions : get-essay.com/.

Did you ever run away from home? Maybe you got to the end of the block before turning around and going back. It all seems silly in retrospect, but at the time you had plans.
You'd show 'em what was what.
But, like most impulsive ideas, your plans always fell apart. You were so focused on what you were running from, not what you were running to, that you found yourself faced with the question, "Now what?" You had to raise the white flag and give up.
Spring Praise & Prayer challenges us to take an honest look at ourselves. If there's anything we have learned in life, running away from God is not the key to happiness. When we run TO God, everything changes. We finally surrender to His will for us -
and it makes all the difference in the world.
Join us for Spring Praise & Prayer. Contemporary songs, powerful stories from scripture,
deep prayer - encouragement for your week.

Swedish journalist Kim Wall was stabbed 15 times after she boarded Danish inventor Peter Madsen's homemade submarine for an interview in August, a Copenhagen court heard Monday, MSN reports.
Madsen, 46, has been charged with murdering Wall, whose headless, dismembered torso was found floating in waters off of Copenhagen on Aug. 21, 10 days after she boarded the vessel.
Her cause of death has not yet been determined, but prosecutor Jakob Buch-Jepsen told a court that the multiple knife wounds had been inflicted "at the time of death or shortly afterwards," the Guardian reported.
Madsen's computer also contained material featuring women being tortured and killed, Buch-Jepsen said.
Madsen, who has denied killing Wall, participated in the hearing via video conference.
He said he was "not the only person" with access to the computer in his workshop, and denied that the gruesome material belonged to him.
Madsen's lawyer Betina Hald Engmark said the court had heard "nothing that supports Kim Wall being killed by my client."
Madsen previously alleged that Wall was killed in a "terrible accident" aboard the ship. He said she was hit by a 155-pound hatch in the submarine's tower.
He said that after the disaster, he used a metal weight to sink her body.
Buch-Jepsen, however, said that Madsen killed Wall at an unknown time between Aug. 10 and 11, and dismembered her body before sinking it.
An autopsy found that her missing limbs were cut off after her death.
"Our suspicion hasn't changed, it has been strengthened since September 5," Buch-Jepsen said.
Madsen's detention was extended until Oct. 31.
An investigation into Wall's death is ongoing.

My wife had to carry most of the load in central Ohio over the past week or so while I was on my annual Michigan fishing trip. Based on the following pictures, many of which are hers, she had no trouble discovering things of interest.
First there were the birds, a few of which when captured in unusual or even comical poses. Some just a little different than the usual "mug" shot.
Sometimes a bird picture was obtained as my wife happened to look up as she studyed an interesting "bug" and there were apparently no shortage of those.
Summer flowers grace areas along the reservoir.
Finally a few pics from my fishing trip to the Rifle River Recreation Area. It always feels like a homecoming when I head north bringing back many fond childhood summer vacation memories. I always think I'll take more pictures on this trip but it's hard to wear two hats so I mostly just allow myself to be there and fish.
Each trip into nature marks the passing of time. Summer moves along, things seen are ever changing, birds fledge and mature under parent's attentive care, caterpillars and butterflies continue their amazing dance of life, wildflowers and bees are ever present companions, by late July the days have grown noticeably shorter.
Thanks for stopping by.

For those of you that follow this blog you know that we spend a lot of time walking in one park near our home. Part of the fascination has been to see what we can discover in this one specific location throughout the year. As the seasons change, it's often about what we don't see as much as what we do. From our house the park is also the perfect distance for a long walk which adds to the overall satisfaction of the experience. Finally, without making too much work out of it, we also try to help keep the park free of cans, bottles and other litter which provides a sense of ownership and makes the place just that much more special.
Having provided a rather circuitous introduction you're probably wondering where this is going. Well it's about the Kinglets! Several weeks ago we saw quite a few Golden and Ruby Crown Kinglets along the Scioto River below the Griggs Dam but since then nothing. Were had they gone? Had our timing since then just been bad? We were starting to wonder. Would we again see these little birds that do so much to brighten up late fall and winter in central Ohio?
In then a few days ago, in the company of Chickadees and Downy Woodpeckers, there they were.
. . . and not far away.
Red-tailed Hawks are hard to miss this time of year.
My wife was trying to figure out what this crow was doing.
And as always there have been other things to notice.
Donna tried her hand at capturing the often ignored shapes and designs of late fall.
On future walks we hope the kinglets, along with their friends, will continue to charm and fascinate making this time of year just a little brighter. Thanks for stopping by.

Late August isn't usually when I think of seeing fall warblers in central Ohio. Although I'm sure that's the result of a certain level of ignorance on my part. So not really expecting the warblers this early, most of our efforts in recent days have been spent looking for, and enjoying, the "bugs" that currently seem to be in their prime. What started as a way to say curious during the summer doldrums has now become a real goal of our explorations.
Whether a spider, butterfly, moth, bee, or dragonfly their unique beauty and behavior, so unlike our own, takes us into a truly different world. Fascinating as they are I wouldn't want to return "in the next life" as an insect. The dragonfly is too efficient and maneuverable a flying machine bringing a quick end to anything flying nearby that it considers a meal. The life cycle of many wasps requires that caterpillars become live hosts for their larva. A convenient meal for the future wasps but undoubtedly not a pleasant experience for the caterpillar. A garden spider quickly dispatches and gift wraps a careless fly in silk for later consumption. And just when you think your the biggest, baddest, "bug" around, a bird comes along. I could go on but it is sufficient to say, it's not for me.
It's not as if there haven't been birds around. Sometimes, in our quest for insects, we get so engaged in looking down we forget to look up! The Osprey was discovered as we were looking for warblers and provided many great poses as he devoured a fish just two of which are shown below.
. . . and then there were the warblers, always more seen than successfully photographed.
When in nature take a moment to enjoy the whole, allowing yourself just to be.
With the fall migration just getting started we're looking forward to what will be seen in the coming weeks.
Thanks for stopping by.

So far this summer Buckeye butterflies have been scarce in central Ohio. However, on a recent trip south to northeast Georgia, we were fortunate enough to see our first of the year. While I was preoccupied with family matters my ever diligent wife documented butterflies seen during our daily hikes.
She was kind enough to share her photos for the post. A few of the butterflies were first time sightings for us. This is not because they're rare but because we don't usually visit the southeast part of the country in August and their range may not extend as far north as Ohio. Of those seen for the first time, we thought the Long-tailed Skipper was the most unusual and for us the most exciting.
We're now back in Ohio and we'll probably see our first Buckeye any day now as they tend to visit later in the summer. Nonetheless, it's been a great year for butterflies and our trip south just added to it.
Thanks for stopping by.

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee police are seeking suspects in the shooting death of a 23-year-old man. Officials believe the victim was shot near 64th and Nash Wednesday morning, Oct. 17 and then dumped in the nearby Dineen Park.
The body was discovered by a man walking his dog in the park a little after 7 a.m.
Friends and relatives identified the victim as Isaiah Lee. They said Lee had stopped answering calls and texts Tuesday evening. That's when he went to the area of 58th and Roosevelt and got into a car with two people inside.
"What we believe is the actual shooting did not happen here at the park. It looks like he was driven here and dumped off here," said Lt. Eric Donaldson, Milwaukee Police Department.
The dead end road in Dineen Park, where the body was found, is about 10 blocks from where police believe Lee was shot.
A friend said there seemed to be a disagreement over money.
Some who knew him said Lee was quiet and worked hard to help his 5-year-old daughter.
Police said they believe Lee was shot shortly after he got into the car, and while he may have been abducted, it would have been for a very short time before the suspects killed him.
Anyone with information is asked to please contact police.

Selfhelp Vision
By Michael Fortomas
It was my first visit back home in over a year. I'd been in Minnesota for college,
and returned home just long enough to marry and move to North Carolina.
I returned with a year old baby, the wife of a medical student, struggling to put
food on the table, though at that time in life materials things don't matter much.
This town I returned to, I had hated. Why? Because we had moved every 3 years, and
it had been fine until this time, but it was 3 weeks before high school, and what
kid would want to start a new high school of 4,000 not knowing a soul? My Dad infuriated
me by acting like he'd done me a favor, and I made it clear to him he had ruined
my life. We dug into our positions.
"Why did you do this to me?†I bellowed.
"You ought to appreciate it,†he said, and told me why, but I didn't listen. "You'll
appreciate it some day,†he said, finding me beyond reason.
What did I hate? The size of the school, having to compete with Ann-Margret (the
movie star) if I wanted to sing in the musical, their Chicago accents, and the crowning
blow – my advisor dubbed me "Sue†the first day and I never got rid of it. In fact
my favorite thing about going off to college was being able to reclaim my name.
If I hadn't sunk into the victim position, I might have been able to reclaim it
I hated the gray skies and the freezing winter wind, but I hated spring worse. They
released us at spring break to wander the streets in wretched weather with dirty
snow everywhere. My family never got to go on a cruise like everyone else's. But
I hated the summers worse because it was never hot enough to get a tan. Not a happy
camper, I gathered evidence to substantiate my feelings.
Fast forward to my return to this "horrible" place. Winnetka is one of
the affluent suburbs on the North Shore of Chicago. A planned community nestled
on the shores of Lake Michigan, with more Frank Lloyd Wright houses than anywhere
else in the nation, it is astoundingly beautiful, a place you dream of living.
With my blinders off and my attitude corrected, I saw it from my Dad's point of
view. He worked hard to give us the best he could, and how proud he must've been
to move us there. In fact I remember the pride in his walk as he showed me around
the first week there.
"It's the best public high school in the nation,†he told me, and the education
I received got me into one of the best liberal arts colleges in the nation.
The crime rate was so low we never locked our doors. Everything was a short drive
away, and there was always parking. There was everything Chicago has to offer –
the art museum where I spent many a Saturday, recently voted best in the nation.
Parks within walking distance which they froze in the winter for skating.
As I drove through the village, the sun slanted through the trees on either side
of the wide road that arched overhead.
"You can't tell me people don't think about future generations,†my Dad often said.
"Someone planted all those trees who never lived to see them.â€
"This is the most beautiful place on earth,†I mused to myself, astounded at my
earlier perceptions and attitude. Could this really be that "horrible place� As
a parent, I could only dream of providing such for my own child some day. Most of
all I was stunned at what I had missed, in my retelling of this terrible place.
Once I had closed my mind, I hadn't let any fact intrude. I had had plenty of good
times there – how could you not – but in the retelling, you wouldn't have known
I went over in my mind what I had then that I had no more – I had taken for granted
and devalued a lake in the back yard with boating as well as beauty, nationally
acclaimed museums and cultural events, convenience, service people who knew you
by name, the best public education possible at the time, nice people, and safety.
I had the inklings of a lesson … how your attitude effects your perceptions and
your thoughts affect your emotions. But it took a few more rounds because moving
is difficult. You wonder if there will be friends, and worry about the unknowns.
My husband and I continued the family tradition of moving every 3 years. By the
2nd move it had finally sunk in that there's beauty everywhere, something to appreciate
that you'll miss like hell when you leave and may never see again in your life,
and nice people everywhere. If they call you something you don't like, you "just
say no,†and you get used to the weird accents.
When we left Durham and moved to Cincinnati, I missed the cozy town, the ocean,
and the lovely parks, but I gained a cul-de-sac that was like a kibbutz for my only
child, great restaurants, and the entertainment opportunities of a big city. It
was the gloomy snow belt again, but there wasn't mold in the back of the closets.
It's always a tradeoff.
Back we went to Durham, then on to San Antonio, Texas. When we got to San Antonio,
I missed the colorful four seasons, and getting anywhere in 5 minutes, but rejoiced
in the sunshine, the plethora of restaurants, and the multicultural influence. The
first tornado warning scared me, and the rattlesnakes, scorpions and tarantulas
were unnerving, but I remembered how I'd adjusted to the mold on the back of closets
in Durham and the slugs on the back porch, no less unnerving. I was learning to
cope with change, and handle transitions.
I realized the things I'd missed, and so learned to approach the next move with
optimism, to seek and find and appreciate the good in it, and to enjoy it every
day. In fact I'd immediately start a mental list of "things I'm gonna miss a lot
one day†to stay focused on the positive, enhance my enjoyment, and bloom where
I should add that my mother complained the entire time she lived in Winnetka, which
is no doubt where I learned that attitude. I was lucky to get the lesson in my face
so young. Right now I'd love to have had the life she had then, as far as the location
was concerned, but of course it wasn't the place that pained her, it was the pain
inside her that made the place unbearable. It was just easier to blame it on the
place than to do the work on the pain inside.
You see, moving doesn't really solve anything if you're miserable, because you take
you with you. It's cleaning up the place inside you that allows you to find the
best wherever you are and find the good wherever you are – and that, of course,
it figurative as well as literal.
P.S. I appreciate it, Dad.
