"At the point of divergence the difference between right and wrong, between truth and falsehood, is not a chasm but a razor's edge" (John Murray – from Chapter VI of his book, Principles of Conduct, 1957).
Here is more from Murray:
One of the most pertinent incidents in the Scripture is the instruction received by Samuel from the Lord himself on the occasion of the anointing of David as king. "Fill thy horn with oil, and go; I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons" (1 Samuel 16:1). Samuel feared the consequences if Saul heard of this. "How can I go? if Saul hear it he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord" (1 Samuel 16:2). Without question here is divine authorization for concealment by means of a statement other than that which would have disclosed the main purpose of Samuel's visit to Jesse. We may call this evasion, if we will. But, in any case, there is suppression of the most important facts relevant to Samuel's mission. We do not know if direct speech to Saul himself was intended or necessary, but, if so, there was the divine sanction for the concealment. The question is: Was untruth involved? There are three considerations that must be borne in mind.
(1) Samuel carried into effect what the Lord asked him to say and do. "And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice" (1 Samuel 16:4, 5). Hence Samuel was authorized to say nothing more than what he actually did say and perform. He did not speak what was contrary to fact. There was no untruth in what the Lord authorized. If it is objected that this is a fine-spun distinction akin to sophistry and quibbling, we must take note that these are precisely the facts which the Scripture itself is meticulously, almost repetitiously, careful to set before us. It is an indisputable fact that what Samuel was told to say was strictly in accord with the facts which followed and there is surely purpose in the explicitness of the narrative to this effect. We are compelled to take account of the agreement between statement and fact. It is looseness to ignore this consideration.
(2) This incident makes clear that it is proper under certain circumstances to conceal or withhold part of the truth. Saul had no right to know the whole purpose of Samuel's mission to Jesse nor was Samuel under obligation to disclose it. Concealment was not lying.
(3) This instance gives us no warrant whatsoever for maintaining that in concealing the truth we may affirm untruth. It is the eloquent lesson of this incident, borne out by the plain facts referred to above, that what was affirmed was itself strictly true. This passage is perhaps unique in the Scripture because there is the explicit authorization of the Lord as to the method of concealment. It is just for that reason that the precise conditions are to be observed; there is no untruth involved. It is necessary to guard jealously the distinction between partial truth and untruth. If we are not hospitable to this distinction it may well be that we are not sensitive to the ethic of Scripture and the demands of truth. After all, this is not a fine distinction; it is a rather broad distinction. But if we wish to call it a fine distinction, we must remember that the biblical ethic is built upon fine distinctions. At the point of divergence the difference between right and wrong, between truth and falsehood, is not a chasm but a razor's edge. And if we do not appreciate this fact then certainly we are not sensitive to the biblical ethic.

martensitic transformation
|Issue Date:
|Proceedings of RAMM-2012, 25-26 February 2012, VSS University of Technology, Burla, Odisha, India
|Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) are a new class of potential multifunctional materials with advancement over the conventional heat-driven shape memory alloys due to their exceptional properties. FSMAs can be controlled by magnetic field have attracted considerable attention as a type of magnetic actuator materials. Among the Heusler alloys that exhibit magnetic shape memory effect, the most extensively studied are those of the Ni-Mn-Ga system. However, to overcome some of the problems related to practical application, such as the high cost of gallium and the low martensitic transformation temperature that they usually present, the search for Ga-free alloys has been recently attempted. This paper aims to represent the behavior of Ga free Ni-Mn-Sn Heusler FSMA by varying the weight percentage of Sn. Three alloys i.e. Mn50Ni50-xSnx (x = 5, 7.5, and 10) were produced as bulk polycrystalline ingots by arc melting. The structural austenite-martensite transformation was checked by Differential Scaning calorimetry (DSC). It is found that, the transformation temperatures gradually decrease as increasing the Sn content. Multiple martensitic transformations, such as two- or three-step martensitic transformations, occur in all these alloy systems. Microstructure and elemental composition of prepared specimen were examined by using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with a microanalysis system. Therefore, the present Ga-free Ni-Mn-Sn Heusler FSMAs have the great possibility to use in high temperature application and can present a large magnetic-field-induced strain.

The rep game at stackoverflow is intriguing and fun.
Which SO user acumulated rep faster than any other user. Let's take several "quickly" windows of say:
- 1 hour
- 1 day
- 1 week
- 1 month
- 1 year
What user earned reputation fastest in the given period and what can the gain be attributed to (eg: a great question, a great answer, lots of one or the other, etc...)?
You needn't answer the whole question. Perhaps your answer only addresses one of the period windows or perhaps it addresses a particular tactic.
Disclaimer: I am halfway through a bottle of Shiraz as I ask this, so don't take your answers too seriously.

Its funny how things turn out.
Today, I logged onto FB and saw that TommyG was going to be a radio guest on our friend Rex's Radio show on KOPN 89.5
Of course, as fate would have it – TommyG was talking about Porch Light Storyteller Series at Cafe Berlin in CoMO – and I tuned in just as he was telling the story – How Much Scotch to kill a Freemason. This is a story I play a part in and I loved hearing it on the radio. We are even thinking about getting it here on S&B to help promote the Porch Light– so stay tuned.
Anyway, as Rex was wrapping the show – the bumper out music was Whiskey in the Jar – and it was sung by a little kid…..and I loved it. Later, Rex told me it was Adam and the High Kings, but that isn't the full story.
Linked below is Adam O'Sullivan's story, followed by a rendition of the song performed live. Please read the story and watch the first video before jumping straight to the song….it makes it that much better.
Damn is it Dusty in here -
On the eve of Darren Holden leaving for Tanzania to complete the 'Climb for Kids' Kilimanjaro Challenge in aid of the Crumlin Children's Hospital and National Research Centre, the High Kings performed Whiskey in the Jar on the Late Late Show with 8 year old Adam O'Sullivan. Adam has a brain tumour and is a patient at the Crumlin Hospital and a huge fan of the High Kings. The song is being released as a charity single for Crumlin Hospital and Temple St Hospital.

The season finale of "The Bachelor" is just a few hours away and fans of the show are eagerly waiting to see who Juan Pablo Galavis might choose as his partner - Nikki Ferrell or Clare Crawley.
Rumor has it that Ferrell will be the last one standing, as Galavis seemingly made his choice clear when he introduced the pediatric nurse to his daughter and former partner in one of the earlier episodes. The fact that only Ferrell's family seemed to embrace Galavis is a point in her favor.
But Crawley, too, appears to have a strong hold on Galavis, as the duo was seen discussing their wedding song in one of the deleted episodes.
In the clip, Galavis is seen taking out his cell phone, making Crawley feel that he is going to take a selfie. But the bachelor plays Josh Krajcik's "No Better Lovers," which immediately bring tears to Crawley's eyes.
"I love this song," Crawley says before kissing Galavis, who in turn comforts crying Crawley saying: "We started like that. Don't cry."
Crawley then tells him that they should play the song when they get married. The former Venezuelan soccer did not respond to the suggestion, instead just kissed her.
Later, during a confessional interview, Crawley said that she became emotional as she was caught up in the moment.
"I am lost in the moment. That song is how I feel and how I felt."
"Juan Pablo has definitely helped to break down those walls that have been up around my heart," she added.
Meanwhile, Reality Steve, a blogger who said Ferrell would be crowned the winner much before the current season premiered on ABC, is sticking to his prediction. But he notes that there might not be an engagement when the show ends.
"Juan Pablo and Nikki left Saint Lucia as a couple, but not engaged. First time in 10 seasons, there hasn't been a proposal at the end," Steve writes in his blog. He also added that there is a monetary offer for Galavis to propose to Ferrell on the "After the Final Rose" show.
It remains to be seen if Steve's prediction will prove to be accurate.
The season finale of "The Bachelor" will be telecast on Monday at 8 pm on ABC.

Magma HDI third party liability cover means a liability towards a person other than the insurer or the insured. This liability can be due to a bodily injury, death or even property damage. This cover can sometimes be provided as a stand alone policy by insurers known as a Liability Policy. Magma HDI Two Wheeler Insurance provides protection against any such legal liabilities. Two wheeler insurance plans that provide third party liability cover are preferable as the policy holder does not have to pay for the damage caused to a third party.
Personal accident cover is an important benefit that is usually available in a comprehensive policy or liability policy. This cover is available in Magma HDI Two Wheeler Insurance. Personal accident cover is beneficial in case the driver meets with an accident. There is usually a limit on the money paid by the insurer against personal accident claims.
Compensations in case of personal accident depend upon the nature of the injury. Usually all package policies provide 100% compensation in unfortunate event of death of the driver or if he suffers total permanent disability. But many policies also provide cover against loss of limbs or loss of eye sight.

By: Rajan Kashyap | Delivery, Manufacturing
As manufacturing companies move relentlessly towards being service organizations than pure product sales organizations - Yes - Warranty solutions for any manufacturing company can give money back to business. This goes direct to the bottom-line and shareholder value. To understand how, let's understand a key process in Warranty Lifecycle i.e. Warranty Provisioning.
Warranty Provisioning a process where a pot of money is set aside in books of manufacturers to take care of warranty costs coming in the next month/quarter. More often than not, the process of how much money to set aside is calculated either manually or a simple average of last few months is applied or simply through someone's gut feel. This results in either lower pot resulting in claim processing delays and eventually customer dissatisfaction or higher pot resulting in taking money away from business which could have led to next innovation or increased shareholder value.
So how do we solve this problem?
Before we get into solving the problem, let's take a quick look at the factors that affect warranty provisioning i.e. the sales done till date, months in service of the equipment, re-calls, extended warranties, factory liability vs importer liability etc.
We had one of our customer who came to us with the problem of how to calculate warranty provisioning effectively. As the customer was used to manually calculating (read using excel) with rolling monthly data – the process was reactive and prone to seasonal errors of significant magnitude. And to safeguard against these errors, the customer tended towards over provisioning to ensure customer satisfaction.
We developed an algorithm to use Linear Regression formulae to different kind of warranty claims on every model of every brand that the customer produced to calculate the warranty pot each month. Types of warranties included service, spare parts, accessories, goodwill, extended warranties and campaigns. The algorithm was developed to automatically calculate the warranty provision based on current sales, claims data, seasonal variations and any manual corrections that needed to be done. A simple and intuitive user-interface was given to customer to run the calculations at the beginning of the month.
This system reduced the calculation time cycle from almost 30 days to about 3 hours. But most importantly, the customer was able to reduce the warranty pot by £2mn per month for just one brand and customer had a total of 12 brands. A straight addition to the customer's bottom-line and shareholder value.

February 1
Many are satisfied with carrying the Lord on their tongue, recounting His marvels and praising Him with great ardor; others carry Him in their hearts with tender and loving affection, which becomes part and parcel of their lives, thinking of Him and speaking to Him. But these two ways of carrying the Lord do not amount to much if the third element of carrying Him in their arms by good works is missing. (Sermons 2; O. IX, p. 22)
February 2
What greater or more profound humility can be imagined than that practice by the Lord and His holy mother, one coming to the temple to be offered like all the sons of sinful men and the other to purify herself like all other women? It is certainly no heroic effort on our part to abase ourselves or humiliate ourselves, since abasement and humiliation is often our due. Yet no sooner do little humiliations come our way than we immediately feel resentment, and, turning our backs on such a beautiful virtue, we wish to be esteemed as somebody! (Sermons 28; O. IX, pp. 251-252)
February 3
Just as little children learn to speak by listening to their mothers and lisping words after them, so also by keeping close to our Savior and meditating on and observing His words, actions and affections we learn by His grace to speak, act and will like Him. I assure you that we cannot go to God the Father except through this gate...Set aside an hour every day before dinner, or early in the morning when your mind is less distracted and fresher after the night's rest. Do no extend it for more than an hour unless your spiritual director expressly tells you to do so. (INT. Part II, Ch. 1; O. III, p. 70)
February 4
Let us embrace the good Jesus, living in daily attachment to Him and ready to die serenely in His presence. Place Him in your heart, like Solomon on his ivory throne. Make frequent visits there as the queen of Sheba did. Listen to His sacred words that He continually utters for our inspiration. Take care that your heart is always made of pure and firm ivory. Be constant in your resolutions and pure in your affections. (Letters 2010; O. XXI, p. 658)
February 5
Complain as little as possible about the wrongs you suffer. Undoubtedly, a person who complains commits a sin by doing so, since self-love always feels that injuries are worse than they really are. Above all, do not complain to irascible or fault-finding persons. If you feel the need to correct an offense or restore your peace of mind by complaining to someone, do so to those who are even-tempered and really love God. Instead of calming your mind, the others will create worse difficulties, and rather than pulling out the thorn that is hurting you, they will drive it deeper into your foot. (INT. Part III, Ch. 3; O. III, p. 136)
February 6
Certainly nothing can so effectively humble us before God's mercy as the multitude of His benefits, and nothing can so deeply humble us before His justice as the great number of our sins. Let us consider often what He has done for us and what we have done against Him. As we reflect on our sins one by one, let us also consider His graces one by one. There is no need to fear that knowledge of His gifts will make us proud, if only we remember this truth, they are from Him and not from ourselves. A lively consideration of graces received makes us humble, because knowledge of them begets gratitude for them. (INT. Part III, Ch. 5; O. III, p. 146)
February 7
In every class of society and in every position, we find the reprobate and the elect. Who is he, then, who has no fear, who is sure he does correspond to the graces proper to his position in life? We see Judas condemned and Matthias elected. Judas received far more graces than Matthias, who was not even called and numbered among the apostles by the Lord, but only elected by the apostles after the Ascension. Nevertheless, Matthias faithfully persevered and died a saintly death, while the miserable Judas, after being an apostle became an apostate! This gives every one of us reason to fear, in whatever call or condition we find ourselves, because there are dangers everywhere. (Sermons 58; O. X, pp. 248-151)
February 8
Do not get all worked up about the future disasters of this world, which may never occur anyway; when and if they do occur, God will give you the strength to bear them. Jesus commanded Saint Peter to walk on the water, but Peter, frightened by a gust of wind and the storm, almost drowned. Then he pleaded with the Lord, Who said to him, "What little faith you have ... why did you falter?" And putting forth His hand He saved him. [cf. Mt. 14:31] If God asks you to walk on the turbulent waters of adversity, do not doubt, do not fear, because God is with you. Have courage and you will be safe. (Letters 1420; O. XVII, p. 211)
February 9
Death, afflictions and other disasters which make up a large part of life and which are punishments for sin become, through the gentle mercy of God, so many steps to climb up to Heaven, so many means to grow in grace, and so many merits to gain glory. Therefore, it is right to say that we should love poverty, hunger, thirst, sadness, sickness, persecution and death, because they are just punishments for our faults, punishments so tempered by divine mercy that their very bitterness becomes something to be loved. (T.L.G. Book 3, Ch. 1; O. V, pp. 110-111)
February 10
Humility which does not produce generosity is false, because true humility, after it has said, "I can do nothing, I am good for nothing," must immediately give way to a generosity of spirit which says, "There is nothing nor can there be anything I cannot do if I place all my faith in God." The humble soul, relying on this confidence, with great courage takes up anything that is commanded. (Spiritual Treatises V; O. VI, p. 76)
February 11
The sacred spouse in the Canticle of Canticles says that His bride has ravished His heart with one of her eyes and one of her tresses [cf. Sg 4:9] Of all the outer parts of the human body, none is nobler in structure or activity than the eye and none of less value than the hair. Hence the sacred Spouse implies that He is pleased to accept the great deeds of devout persons, but that their least and lowest deeds are also acceptable to Him, and that to serve Him as He wishes we must take great care to serve Him well both in great, lofty matters and in small, unimportant things. With love we can capture His heart by the one just as well as by the other. (INT. Part III, Ch. 35; O. III, p. 254)
February 12
We know that there are several ways of obeying. Some people, for example, esteem this virtue and willingly speak about it. Talk is not enough, however; we must come to practice it as occasions present themselves. Others want to obey, but in things that are not difficult or contrary to their inclinations. The Lord is not pleased with this kind of obedience, but wants us to obey in difficult things as well as in easy ones, and to be constant in our obedience. (Sermons 85; O. X, p. 387)
February 13
Pearls conceived and nourished by wind or thunder claps are mere crust, devoid of substance. So also when virtues and fine qualities are conceived and nurtured by pride and vanity, they are without substance or solidity, having merely the appearance of good. Honors, dignities and rank are like saffron, which thrives best and grows most plentifully when trodden under foot. (INT. Part III, Ch. 4; O. III, p. 141)
February 14
Devotion is simply that spiritual agility and vivacity by which charity works in us or by aid of which we work quietly and lovingly. Just as it is the function of charity to enable us to observe all God's commandments in general and without exception, so it is the part of devotion to enable us to observe them more quickly and diligently. Hence a person who does not observe all God's commandments cannot be held to be either good or devout. To be good one must have charity, and to be devout, in addition to charity one must have great ardor and readiness in performing charitable actions. (INT. Part I, Ch. 1; O. III, p. 15)
February 15
Our miseries and weaknesses must not scare us, because the Lord has seen much greater ones. His mercy does not reject the miserable but gives them His grace and raises them from the depths of baseness and abjection to His throne of glory. I would like to have a good hammer to blunt the keen desire of your spirit to progress in its virtue. So often have I told you that, in the spiritual life, we must walk in a very simple way. If you do well, thank and praise God; if you do something wrong, make an act of humility! I know quite well that you do not want to do the wrong thing on purpose, so consider the wrong things you do as the means to keep you humble. (Letters 912; O. VI, p. 68)
February 16
Let us try sincerely, humbly and devoutly to acquire those little virtues our Savior has proposed as the goal of our care and labor. These are meekness, patience, mortification, humility, obedience, poverty, chastity, tenderness towards our neighbor, bearing with others' imperfections, diligence and holy fervor. Let us gladly leave the lofty virtues to lofty souls; we do not desire so high a rank in God's service, and we should be more than happy to serve Him in His kitchen or to be His lackeys, porters or chamberlains. While blessing God for the eminence of others, let us keep to our lower but simpler way. It is less distinguished but better suited to our littleness. If we conduct ourselves with humility and good faith, God will raise us up to heights that are surely great. (INT. Part III, Ch. 2; O. III, p. 132)
February 17
Take for yourself the maxim of the apostle, "May I never boast of anything but the cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ!" [Gal 6:14] Put Jesus crucified in your heart, and all the crosses of this world will seem to be roses. Those who have felt the punctures of the crown of thorns of the Savior Who is our Head will in no way feel any other wounds. (Letters 1420; O. XVIII, p. 221)
February 18
Our Savior has instituted the most august sacrament of the Eucharist, which really contains His flesh and blood, so that whoever eats of it shall live forever. Therefore, whoever turns to it frequently and devoutly builds up his soul's health in such a way that it is almost impossible for him to be poisoned by evil infection of any kind. We cannot be nourished by this flesh of life and still suffer death within us. Just as the first man and woman dwelling in the earthly paradise might have avoided bodily death by the power of that living fruit which God had planted in it, so also can we avoid spiritual death by virtue of this sacrament of life. Tender fruits such as cherries, apricots and strawberries are subject to subject to decay, yet they are easily preserved for a whole year with sugar or honey. Is there any wonder then, that our heart, no matter how frail and weak, is preserved from the corruption of sin when sweetened by the incorruptible flesh and blood of the Son of God? (INT. Part II, Ch. 20; O. III, p. 116)

An interior conversion, a change for the better in one's life, is an indication of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Saint John the Baptist was sanctified in the womb of his mother; likewise, those who receive the Holy Spirit are transformed. So when you want to know if you have received the Spirit, keep a clear watch on your works; they will answer the question accurately. (Sermons 47; O. X, p. 72)
February 20
"Happy the man who knows how to control zeal," says Saint Ambrose. Saint Bernard adds, "the devil will easily delude you if you neglect knowledge. Therefore, let your zeal be inflamed with charity, adorned with knowledge and established in constancy." True zeal is the child of charity, since it is its ardor. Therefore, like charity, it is patient and kind. It is without quarrelling, without hatred, without envy; it rejoices in the truth, The ardor of true zeal is like the hunter's: diligent, careful, active industrious, eager in pursuit, but without passion, anger, bad temper or vexation. Otherwise, hunting would not be such a popular sport. In like manner, the ardor of zeal must be stable, industrious, untiring and likeable. Completely different is false zeal: it is turbulent, troubled, insolent, arrogant, choleric, impetuous and unstable. (T.L.G. Book 10, Ch. 16, pp. 189-190)
February 21
The Holy Spirit gives us His advice through the words of the prince of the apostles, "Take great care to use your time well and make sure of your vocation through good works." [cf. 2 Pt 1:10] This warning must make us live in great fear and humility in whatever state we find ourselves, but at the same time we must raise our heart to the divine Goodness invoking His grace and His help and keeping our affection fixed on Him by means of frequent and fervent ejaculations. (Sermons 58; O.X, pp. 259-260)
February 22
Love is the life of our heart. Just as weights give movement to the movable parts of a clock, so love gives to the soul whatever movement it has. All our affections follow our love. According to it, we desire, rejoice, hope, despair, fear, take heart, hate, feel sadness or aversion, grow angry and exult. We see how men who have given their hearts as prey to a base, ignoble love of women desire only what goes with such love. Hence, when divine love reigns in our hearts like a king, it brings into subjection all other loves possessed by the will. It is the saving water of which Our Lord has said, "... whoever drinks the water I give him will never be thirsty..." [Jn 4:14] (T.L.G. Book 11, Ch. 20; O. V, p. 309)
February 23
When, O Lord, will patience with our neighbor take possession of our hearts? This is the final and most excellent lesson of the teaching of the saints; happy that spirit who fully understands this! We are always anxious that others put up with our miseries, and that they tolerate us; yet the miseries and faults of our neighbor always seem so great and unsupportable! (Letters 1243; O. XVII, p. 289)
February 24
All of us will die on a day we do not know at present, but how happy we will be if we die with our dear Savior in our hearts! Indeed, we must always keep Him there, making our spiritual exercises in His company and offering Him our desires, resolutions and protests. It is a thousand times better to die with the Lord than to live without Him. If we live happily and courageously in His company, there is no reason to be terrified by death. I do not say we should have no fear, but that we should not be too disturbed by it. If the death of the Savior is propitious for us, our own death will be a happy one. For this reason we should often think of His holy death, and love His cross and His passion. (Letters 439; O. XIII, p. 382)
February 25
It is a difficult thing to have an exact idea of one's goal, but it is likewise true that all of us must perfectly pinpoint the virtue we are aiming to acquire. However, if we cannot do this, we must not lose courage or get upset; we must get as close to the goal as possible, because even the saints did not succeed in doing any more than that. Only Our Lord and the virgin most holy fully succeeded. (Spiritual Conferences IV; O. VI, pp. 59-60)
February 26
He who goes to Holy Communion according to the spirit of the Divine Spouse annihilates himself and says to the Lord, "Annihilate me, O Lord, and convert me into Yourself!" There is nothing in this world over which we have more control than food which we consume for our conservation. Well, Jesus Christ attained this excess of love: He made Himself our food! But what do we have to do to make full use of what He has done? Let Him possess us, let Him masticate us, let Him eat us and dispose us to do exactly what He wants. (Letters 1529; O. XVIII, p. 400)
February 27
Birds have nests in trees and stags have thickets where they can find shelter when the need arises. Deer know where to take cover, either to hid or to enjoy some cool shade during the summer. So also our hearts should each day choose some place, either on Mount Calvary or within Our Lord's wounds, or in some other place near Him, as a retreat where they can retire at various times to refresh and restore themselves during their exterior occupations. There, as in a stronghold, they can defend themselves against temptation. Blessed will be the soul that can truly say to Our Lord, "You are my place of strength and my stronghold to give me safety, my roof against the rain, my shade against the heat." [cf. Ps 46:1] (INT. Part 2, Ch. 12; O. III, p. 92)
February 28
Deepen day by day the resolution to serve God devotedly, to attend to His will and be entirely His. Reserve nothing for yourself or for the world. Embrace with sincerity the holy designs to God, whatever they are. Never deceive yourself that you have realized purity of heart unless you are entirely, freely and joyfully subject to God's holy will in all things, even the most repugnant. Therefore, do not consider so much what you do but the One Who commands you to do them. He will further His own glory and our perfections, even in those things that seem to us lowly and imperfect. (Letters 282; O. XIII, pp. 38-39)
February 29
Let us always bless the feet of the Savior and say to Him, "My heart, O Lord, protests my fidelity and my eyes seek Your face." Let us keep our eyes on Jesus Christ to contemplate Him, our mouth employed to praise Him, our whole heart intent on nothing less than to please Him without limits. (Letters 1155; O. XVIII, p. 128)

Areva still confident about Idaho
Bill Barker is so confident Areva's $3 billion uranium-enrichment plant will be built, he bought a winter home in Driggs. Barker will be the French company's new Idaho site manager.
Lack of cash to fund the planned Eagle Rock enrichment plant west of Idaho Falls has been a problem for Areva, which has no schedule for construction.
Areva announced the plant in 2008.
"The project is still viable to the U.S.," Barker says. "If it wasn't, the company would have pulled the plug."

Being able to imagine our dreams is easy. Adapting to dreams can seem hard at times, I understand. With our current reality consequences it's almost impossible to imagine sometimes, but if we are to imagine them to the point where we can feel happiness through them in ourselves, then we should be able to see that all the darkness that comes with the dream is the path we have to conquer to achieve it. Adapting means leaving friends, work or relationships, Either way, whatever we feel is happiness to us needs to be strong. Strong enough for us to understand what is right for us. The only way to do that is to imagine it (yes, with your imagination). When can imagine a time in the same situation where you are happy, That is the path you need to take. Anything that is for you will always be for you if somebody or thing in your life seems very important to you almost as if you cannot live without them then they also won't be able to live without you.
"Detachment isn't about not owning anything but nothing owning us."
-There is nothing to attach to as there are nothing and no one we take with us but our feelings when we pass.
"You are either used to it or over it."
That is your choice.
If happiness continually finds you in your situation, then you're in a good place no one can say what you should do to keep yourself in the Happiness you have perceived.
When we become over it is when we are more attracted to the concept of detachment
I have found that the easiest way to detach, is to fall in love with the option. What is it about the choice that brings us happiness, that we have to work harder for in a consequence or our situation.
It brings us closer to the truth of our happiness when we express the feelings towards the dreams.
Dreams change according to what makes us happy, so when we adapt to them; everything that is in darkness will come to light, there for our dreams will change. They will also sometimes not seem what they are. If we aren't adapting to dreams such, like travelling, how will we know if we get bored when we get there. Waiting is a curse, and it is an attachment to the feeling that happiness is beyond us. To believe that happiness is beyond this very moment is torture. Happiness is here. Where we have come today has been because of the reactions to the options we've presented ourselves.
Detachment can seem hurtful at times especially when we have to let go of relationships. May they have been work or personal either way the detachment can look hard. As we have to detach ourselves from our perceived happiness but if we stay acknowledgement of the joy we work for to get the happiness from them, then we see how easy or hard we have to work. If we are in a place where we are over it, then there is more work then there is happiness in our situation.
Respect is love
Respecting our decisions is falling in love with the idea.
Once we are actually in love with our idea we can then confidently act upon our actions completing knowledge to experience helps us understand our dreams and honestly decide if it brings the happiness we imagined.
follow that which makes you happy at all cost.

Today on Valentine's Day Eve we have the fantastic Ryan Jo Summers! We have seen Ryan Jo here before but we can't get enough of her 🙂 Her new book is being released today!! 🙂
Ryan Jo what would be your ultimate Valentine's Date (this is really good — you have to read this one!!)
It should not be this difficult, Kasey Griffin decided, taking aim at the nail head once more. Missing, she nicked her thumb again and dropped the hammer. Swallowing another oath, she sucked tenderly at her bruised thumb, cursing the wave of dizziness that lead to making this such an impossible task. Honestly, hammering a few nails in the wall was all she wanted to do.
Well, not today at least. Temporarily admitting defeat, she returned the tools to the box and shoved them aside. Heading to the freezer, she withdrew a small bag of blended vegetables and a pint of ice cream. Sometimes chocolate chunk caramel ripple can have medicinal benefits.
Four bites later, the phone rang. Tempted to ignore it, she waited for the monotone caller identification.
"Call from Abbie," the automated voice announced.
Setting her ice cream aside, she swept the phone up from the cradle. "Hey, Sis, what's up?" She hoped her tone sounded cheerful.
"Not much, thought I'd call and chat. Do you have a minute?"
"Yeah, of course. Everything okay with you and the baby?" Abbie was six months pregnant.
"Fine, a few less kicks today. How about you? You sound tired. Are you having a bad day, sweetie?"
Kasey sighed. Sometimes it was hard to tell. "I guess so," she admitted, opting to tell her about the most recent failure.
"You know Bobby would have come over and done that for you."
"Yes, but I want to be able to do things for myself." She needed to be able to do things on her own, if only to prove to herself she could. That was one big difference between them. Abbie had no problems asking for help, whereas she'd rather swallow a toad than ask anyone for assistance. Character flaw? Probably. Did that make it necessarily bad? No. Just stubborn. But that was how she ran the daily affairs of The Next Chapter bookstore. And how she planned to keep running them.

My Knitters' Day Out shopping this year resulted in me bringing home "3 Feet of Sheep" in the BFL/silk blend dyed in the colorway "Colors of the Capital."
You can see that there are some color variations in each separate ball of top. Some of this is due to the difference in how silk and wool accept dye, but some of it is the blending of dyed fibers in each. The balls were presented in this color sequence in the bag, and I honored the sequence. I separated each ball into two equal segments (as best I could) and spun singles onto 2 separate bobbins. As I made a 2-ply yarn, sometimes the two plies were from the same color and sometimes they were from adjacent ones (which kind of extended the gradient effect).
Astute readers will notice that this fiber is top, not roving, but that the wool and silk aren't homogenously mixed. Because spinning in a woolen style (longdraw) from roving is the fastest way to spin, I wanted to approximate it this week. I tore the top into short segments and spun from the fold, which was far faster than my old inchworm style. Want to see the finished yarn?Here it is! Between the two skeins, I got 594 yards of 2-ply yard (which gets me 1,782 yards of Spinzilla credit – you count the yardage of the singles PLUS the yardage of the plied yarn). This is more than a mile! I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.
I finished those singles early Friday evening and looked around for something else to spin. I wanted a small project that I would have time to completely finish before Spinzilla ended on Sunday night. I dug around through my fiber stash and came up with 2 ounces of Shetland roving (dyed teal) and 2 ounces of Romney roving (dyed yellow). I spun both of these longdraw and got some more yarn. I need to get a better photo of the Romney especially… it's still a bit wet in this photo because I wanted to wrap up this post tonight: Specifically, I got 100 yards of Shetland (for 300 yards of Spinzilla credit) and 93 yards of Romney (for 279 yards of Spinzilla credit). That brings my overall Spinzilla yardage to an astounding (for me) 2,361 yards! This is far and away the most I have ever spun in a week and it was so fun to learn that I could do it.
Now I need to think about knitting. I had planned to use the gradient yarn to knit Stephen West's Spectra, a pattern that has long been in my queue but hasn't gotten made yet. (Side note: I originally intended to make it with this yarn that I bought with Steven in 2012, but then I decided that the color changes were too long. His turned out beautifully, though!) Now I'm not so sure. I have about 600 yards of that yarn, and it should probably all stay together. I need something that will use most of it, so that probably means I WON'T be combining it with another yarn. Maybe something like this?
Spinzilla 2014 was a total win for me. Yay, #teamstorey!

With a view to advancing this line of thought and drawing operational lessons from it to guide countries in the reform of their education, training and rural development policies, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has joined forces with UNESCO's International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) to conduct an international study on education and rural development. Resulting from this joint initiative, the first aim of the book is to review the status of the topic from the standpoint of public policies and the conceptual frameworks on which they are based. It will also attempt to shed light on what may be called 'good practice'.

It's not official, but the stream of rumors and indirect information point in the same direction about the next Call of Duty: WWII is back.
A leaked poster on Reddit would have advanced the release of this game before any official statement: November 3rd.
In addition, the retailer poster also confirms that Call of Duty WW2 DLC is in the pipeline in the form of PlayStation-exclusive map packs, which will be available for the PS4 30 days ahead of any other platform, as is the case with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. You can check out the leaked poster below.
While publisher Activision has yet to confirm a release date for the game (or anything else for that matter; the game exists only as a rumor for the time being), the timing at least seems plausible, considering most Call of Duty games launch in the early November time-frame.

Superconductivity in SrTiO3(STO) has remained an open question for more than half a century. In this talk I will present experimental results showing superconductivity in Nd doped STO thin flims (50-250 nm), where Nd is expected to carry a net magnetic moment. All the samples we studied show an anisotropic resistance along the two in-pane orthogonal directions, where the normal state resistances along the two directions differ by more than several factors. Although the normal state resistances between the channels seem to be qualitatively similar, the resistive superconducting transition is drastically different. Along the channel with larger normal state resistance we observe a smooth transition from metallic to superconducting state with decreasing temperature ("normal channel"), but along the channel with smaller normal state resistance we observe an insulating state (resistance rising by up to an order of magnitude in a narrow temperature range) between the metallic and superconducting states. The onset of the insulating state is closely related to superconductivity and that its behavior is qualitatively different from known effects of granularity or superconducting fluctuations in an insulating matrix. For the "normal channel" the out of plane upper critical field as a function of temperature shows opposite curvature from what would be expected based on WHH theory and that the critical field doesn't seem to saturate with decreasing temperature. I will present possible explanations for such anomalous behavior, including effects related to magnetic impurities and two-band superconductivity.

- Turkey
- Spain
- Portugal
- Morocco
- Oman
- Iran
- Jordan
- Israel
- Syria
A great way to travel in Spain and Portugal is to go independently!
With so much to see in all corners of both countries, self-drive is a very popular option that allows you to discover the differences and to stay at very special accommodation paradors (Spain), and pousadas (Portugal); unique buildings in areas of natural or cultural value. There are also special hotels in the larger cities, which Timeless can suggest for you.
An alternative is to explore with the excellent network of trains linking all the major regions. Getting around in the cities can be easy with short half, 1 or 2 day tours, which will introduce you to the best of the area with knowledgeable guides. Perhaps try some local half-day tours while in the Andalucian cities of Granada (see the stunning Alhambra and Generalife Gardens), Cordoba (see the amazing 8th century Mezquita/Mosque/Cathedral), and the capital, Seville. In Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon, day tours explore the region, or perhaps take the hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus.
Explore in depth with a combination of longer tours, from 3 - 19 days, plus independent extensions in cities eg Barcelona, Madrid or Lisbon, where you can enjoy the food, music, and cultural sights at your own pace of discovery.
Bring us your ideas, and we can put together a suggested Portugal/Spain/Morocco program with car rental packages, accommodation, transport, tours and activities.
For further tour information or to book a tour, please contact Timeless Tours.

It is unfair that very large profitable corporations reap billions of dollars
in profit from our state economy, while forcing their workers onto publicly
subsidized programs because they choose to pay their employees low
wages and offer minimal or no benefits. We are urging legislators not to
cut core essential programs that support children, parents and our eldest
members of society while these corporations receive taxpayer subsidies
and pay their workers poverty wages.
Call your legislators TODAY! tell them to do the right thing by CT Families-

Hello there,
I am building my website, which has a dozen projects with 10 images each. Basically, I need a filtering system but built in the most efficient and user-friendly way. You can see below that the images flow sideways so being hidden, JS lazy loading was a good tool, but I just wanted to try AJAX. Is it fit for this purpose or it's more for dynamic content?

I have been messing around with creating pages from ajax requests, and it has gone swimmingly thus far. However, I am really struggling with creating a page and saving an image via ajax.
The form:
<form action="./" role="form" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
 <input type="text" id="preview" name="preview" placeholder="Image Title">

 <input type="file" id="preview-name" name="preview-name">

 <select id="select-tags" name="select-tags"> <?php $tags = $pages->find("template=tag"); ?> <option value="">Select Your Tags</option> <?php foreach ($tags as $tag) : ?> <option value="<?= $tag->name; ?>"><?= $tag->name; ?></option> <?php endforeach; ?> </select>

 <button type="button" id="submit-preview" name="submit" class="">Upload Images</button>
 </form>
The ajax in my home template:
$('#submit-preview').click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); title = $("#preview").val(); image = $("input[name=preview-name]"); console.log(title); console.log(image); data = { title: title, image: image //not sure if this is actually needed }; $.ajax({ type: 'POST', data: data, url: '/development/upload-preview/', success: function(data) { console.log("Woo"); }, error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) { alert(xhr.responseText); } }); }); And finally in my ajax template:
$imagePath = $config->paths->assets . "files/pdfs/"; //was from an older iteration $title = $sanitizer->text($_POST['title']); $image = $sanitizer->text($_POST['image']); $p = new Page(); $p->template = "preview"; $p->parent = $pages->get("/previews/"); $p->name = $title; $p->title = $title; $p->save(); $p->setOutputFormatting(false); $u = new WireUpload('preview_image'); $u->setMaxFiles(1); $u->setOverwrite(false); $u->setDestinationPath($p->preview_image->path()); $u->setValidExtensions(array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png', 'pdf')); foreach($u->execute() as $filename) { $p->preview_image->add($filename); } $p->save(); I can complete the file upload but just using a simple post to the same page and it it works well, but I was really trying to work out the ajax on this so I could utilize some modals for success on creation (and to keep my templates a little cleaner). When I do run the code I have, a new/blank folder is created under assets, and a new page is created with the correct title entered. However, no image is being processed. I do get a 200 status in my console. I have searched google for help, but everything seems to be slightly off from my needs. If anyone could help point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

I just wanted to share that I added an AJAX-powered gallery to an artist website that I developed and host: https://jackpinecreations.com/gallery/
There were two things that frustrated me about creating this. Perhaps you can show me a better way.
1. After creating my processing script, which I placed under /templates/scripts/get-items.php, I realized that I would get a 403, due to ProcessWire's routing and security. This forced me to have to create a template and page for this little script. This was frustrating simply because it seemed unnecessarily confusing. But worse, see #2.
2. I usually use config.php to prepend and append each of my templates with a head.inc and foot.inc, which keeps my templates easy to use and I don't have to go and use the GUI to do so on each template separately. However, since I realized I needed to create a new template and page so as to access it, whenever I sent POST params to it, I would get the header and footer along with it!!! I could find no workarounds and had to remove the pre/append calls in config.php and use the GUI on each template individually.
Code Below if you're interested:
HTML and JavaScript (forgive my sad JavaScript skills, I know this can be tightened up)

 <?php foreach ($page->children("limit=9") as $child): ?>
 <a href="<?= $child->url ?>" title="View <?= $child->title ?>"> <img class="gallery-item" src="<?= $child->item_featured_image->size(640, 640)->url ?>" alt="<?= $child->title ?> Image">
 <?php endforeach; ?>

 <button id="get-more-items" type="button" name="get-more-items" class="btn-vintage">Load More</button>
  Processing Script
<?php $items_array = []; $i = 0; foreach ($pages->get($input->post->page_id)->children->slice($input->post->index_start, 9) as $child) { $i++; $items_array[$i] = "
 url' title='View $child->title'> item_featured_image->size(640,640)->url}' alt='$child->title Image'>
"; } echo json_encode($items_array); I love ProcessWire for hundreds of reasons, but I've been using AJAX more and more, and I'm not liking having to create templates to access scripts.
Any advice?
By celfred
I'm facing a weird issue here. I have a page loaded with this code inside (my comments in line ends) :
if ($session->allPlayers) { // Set in a head.inc file. I have also a $session->set('allTeams', $allTeams); in my head.inc $allPlayers = $session->allPlayers; } else { $allPlayers = getAllPlayers($user, false); $session->set('allPlayers', $allPlayers); } bd($session->getAll()); // HERE, I get a number of 11 variables which is what I expect In the same page, I have a link pointing to ajaxContent.php that loads stuff via Ajax.
I just write this in my ajaxContent.php to test :
bd($session->getAll()); // HERE, I get only 9 variables. All my newly set $session variables ($allTeams and $allPlayers) are not conveyed to ajaxContent.php ??? Would you have any idea why is that ??? Another thing : I have a $session->headMenu set in my head.inc, and this one works fine. I can retrieve it in my ajaxContent.php page.
I've tried cleaning all caches but it doesn't change anything 😞
At first, I expected it to be a 15-minute update to my site... It turns out to be a 2-hour issue and I'm still stuck.
Thanks for your ideas !
By louisstephens
So I have a template called "development" where I am testing out a few ideas etc set up on a local mamp server. I also have a page called "ajax" using a template called ajax. From my development template, I am posting a form using ajax and all is working quite well:
$('.test').click(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); redirectUrl = $(this).data('redirect'); var data = { firstName: $("#firstname").val(), lastName: $("#lastname").val(), email: $("#email").val(), phone: $("#phone").val(), redirectUrl: redirectUrl }; $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "localhost:8888/sandbox/ajax/form/", data: data, success: function() { console.log(this.data); top.window.location = redirectUrl; }, failure: function() { console.log(this.data); } }); And in my ajax template:
if($input->urlSegment == 'form'){ if ($_POST) { //handle the post } } The redirectUrl is a data attribute I added in to the button (that launches the form in a modal) that pulls in from a field in processwire. Everything works just fine locally, but when I export everything to a live site it fails. It will work 1 time and redirect, but if you go back to resubmit, it submits the data but won't redirect. Can anyone see any glaring issue here, or have a better way around this?
So, it turns out the request to /ajax/form/ was being canceled. It still handled the POST request, but never sent back a 200 to show "success". Adding in
return false; at the end of my .onclick solved the issue. It is strange though as I have never had this issue before.

Cheat Sheet
Business Efficiency For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Business efficiency is crucial to the success of any enterprise. Business efficiency is a broad term that covers a lot of ground. Every aspect of your business, from finance to human resources, from production to distribution, can be riddled with inefficiencies that drive costs up. When assessing costs, it's important to remember that there's more than money at stake: cost is time, quality, and good will. Being efficient in business means making choices that benefit one sector of a business without (unintentionally) taking from another. Knowing the steps to take and the tools to use to make your business more efficient will help you get the best results at the least possible cost.
Five Steps to Increasing Business Efficiency
Increasing your business efficiency can seem daunting, but in five relatively straight-forward steps you can get a handle on how to identify and eliminate costly inefficiencies.
Measure where your business is today across spectrums such as finances, customer sentiment, product/service quality, and employee dawdling.
Brainstorm and list potential inefficiencies (and potential solutions) across your organization.
Quantify the potential impact of any proposed solutions may have on other sectors of the business.
Set efficiency goals and corresponding projects to achieve them.
Define and execute a clear project plan for reaching your goals.
Seven Steps to Efficient Change Management
Change is good, but it can also wreak havoc on an organization if not managed with thought and careful planning. Here are seven steps to managing change in any organization, efficiently.
Assuage fears upfront.
Top fears include being replaced, not being able to keep up with new skills, not having enough time/resources to adapt, and loss of quality.
Invite everyone to the table.
People complain less afterwards if they are given a chance to chime in upfront.
Help others see themselves as change agents.
Encourage ideas and innovations for improvement from every corner of the workforce.
Be a guinea pig.
Try new tools and processes yourself first to show your team that you have skin in the game, too.
Plan for the future.
If your change doesn't stick, it's not real change.
Allow room for change.
This means giving employees the time and tools they need to master new skills and ways of doing things. In other words, don't just pile change on top of everything else.
Don't forget your external communication.
Outsiders and potential new players also need to know what your project is trying to achieve and how close it is to the goal.
Eight Efficiency-Enhancing Tools
Knowing which tools to use and how will get you quickly on your way to identifying inefficiencies and ridding your business of them forever. Here are eight invaluable tools for any business owner of efficiency expert.
A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool for tracking all customer interactions.
A wiki for clear and updated internal communication.
A calendaring system with transparent free/busy time that lets colleagues book appointments on one another's calendars, circumventing the need to share suggested times back and forth.
A text-expansion tool that can speed up routine tasks by pasting common sales pitches or loading a favorite website with just a few keystrokes. (See ActiveWords for Windows or TextExpander for Macs.)
A central file repository for sharing the latest company memos, scripts, and graphics.
A public knowledgebase to let customers and potential customers help themselves.
A case ticketing system to keep track of product/service issues and feature requests.
Group email lists to ensure key project players are never left off messages, and peripheral players can limit their exposure to daily or weekly digests.

Bright Neon and Heart Nail ArtHi Friends, I am in kinna happy swingy mood today :). By the time this post gets published , I will be in GOA :) :) :). Yes, I am taking a mini break in Goa to celebrate our 3rd marraige anniversary :). Time flies, and its 3 years of marraige. I was supposed be grown up and a little more matured (a little more boring) but I still feel like a kid running around. I still am choosy, picky, noisy, fussy, colorful, cheerful,naughty and what not. Maybe, I don't want to grow up at all!! :P
Anyways, since I am going to Goa, I needed a bright nail art. Actually I wanted to do something special but my nails broke the previous night :( :( :(. I chopped them to tiny miny length. The design that I had in mind was for the nail length I usually have. So when I got tiny canvas infront of me, I got stumped :P :P.
Also, I was late from work, then I went to parlour, then home packing and it was already 9pm :(. So I had very little time to apply a nail polish even. I somehow managed to do this nail art.
I am not very happy with the nail art and maybe I would not have even shared on blog. But my hubby said its not bad and you should share. So it's here :)
One of the reasons why chose this color is because its nice and pretty neon coraly orange, which is perfect and bright for holiday. But the main reason of picking this up, is that its Glow In Dark polish I got from BPS. Yeee!!! I am so happy with them . They actually illuminate at night. And I couldn't help but imagine how mysterious it would be looking at night in Goa beach :) :). Dark all around, sands scattered , sea roaring, dim moonlight and my nails glowing :) :). I will update with Glow in dark picture of this polish once I click it in dark.
For stamping I used Bundle Monster Plate 317 and the stamping polish used is Maybelline BlackOut. They stamp so well :) .On my index finger, I did a base of black and stuck numerous loose glitters. The glitters were orange in color and I thought it will compliment my nail art. But it was a huge mistake, the orange glitters were not opaque ones but iridescent. So it turned greeny orange after top coat and it also picked up color from the base black color. Such a wrong choice to use black color underneath :( :(.
But on the other side, it is complimenting the black stamped hearts :).Also, I am taking my chopped nails as an opportuninty to try out designing short nails. There are cute short nail designs that I had been staring for long in past. I guess its time to try them :). It's nice to find positive in everything :)
How do you feel about the nail art? Did you find something positive in my nail art?

Software that keeps an eye on Grandma
Networked sensors and machine learning make it easy to see when things are out of the ordinary.
Much of health care — particularly for the elderly — is about detecting change, and, as the mobile health movement would have it, computers are very good at that. Given enough sensors, software can model an individual's behavior patterns and then figure out when things are out of the ordinary — when gait slows, posture stoops or bedtime moves earlier.
Technology already exists that lets users set parameters for households they're monitoring. Systems are available that send an alert if someone leaves the house in the middle of the night or sleeps past a preset time. Those systems involve context-specific hardware (i.e., a bed-pressure sensor) and conscientious modeling (you have to know what time your grandmother usually wakes up).
The next step would be a generic system. One that, following simple setup, would learn the habits of the people it monitors and then detect the sorts of problems that beset elderly people living alone — falls, disorientation, and so forth — as well as more subtle changes in behavior that could signal other health problems.
A group of researchers from Austria and Turkey has developed just such a system, which they presented at the IEEE's Industrial Electronics Society meeting in Montreal in October.*
Activity as surmised in different rooms by the researchers' machine-learning algorithms. Source: "Activity Recognition Using a Hierarchical Model."
In their approach, the researchers train a machine-learning algorithm with several days of routine household activity using door and motion sensors distributed through the living space. The sensors aren't associated with any particular room at the outset: their software algorithmically determines the relative positions of the sensors, then classifies the rooms that they're in based on activity patterns over the course of the day.

Wyoming's Pick For Denver Broncos Starting QB? [Poll]
If it were up to you, and you had to pick now, who would you make the next starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos?
Some say so far it's a tough call. No one says any one of the three have looked too bad, but no one is an overwhelming favorite for the shoes of "The Sheriff." It's unfair for anyone to follow that act, but we must move on, with someone.
Since while Coach Kub still waits, let's go ahead and name one: Mark, Trevor, or Paxton.
No one died and left any of us coach, but when did that ever stop us?

Jeane Yates is Home now. She passed this past week.
Three things.
One, she was "the first woman to —" forty things, positions, offices, jobs, honors, appointments, you name it. She was the first woman to do it. She had more brass and more polish than ten preachers. She was articulate, measured, and gracious. Disagreeing with her was work, because she was moving you to "yes" and you could not even guess on how many fronts she was working.
She was that good. That amazing. I miss her.
Two, she taught me to measure time in "monthaversaries" rather than anniversaries. When she and Kyle were newly married and penniless seminary students, they used to dress up in a tux and evening dress once a month and enjoy a cupcake with a candle in it if that was all they could afford in their tiny apartment. Obviously, they had some nicer celebrations as time wore on and so many people enjoyed the pool and cruises with them, but the heart of it was class on the day of their wedding every month. If all they had was a cupcake, they were dressing to the nines, making some romance of it and relishing it ravenously. Every month. Life is uncertain. Every month.
She knew how many months they had been together when Kyle passed. I will bet your house that she knew how many he had been gone when she passed last week.
Three. Relationships were everything. Nothing in life is eternal — except the players. It never mattered if you were working the same side of an issue or not; if Jeane had said she loved you ('in the Lord' like she needed help in some of our cases) that was a done deal. Decided. Forever.
Many people will be at her Homegoing Celebration tomorrow, but I had to just let you know, I love her, and totally expect her to be looking good the next time I see her, heavenward.
Oh, and as long as she looks good, everything else is a distant second place. And in His love, and in Kyle's and her family's love — dahling, she always will look mahvelous.
If you die before I do, look her up, tell her I said "hi" and I'll be Home in a heartbeat or two.
It goes that fast, you know.

All the participant pest control lucknow are verified with their documents such as Registration Certificate, GST Certificate etc.
Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pest problems to get rid off. They love to hide, they can hide anywhere either it is your bed or any other place. The best solution to get rid of bed bugs is to hire a pest control company in Lucknow. Because they have the experience to successfully controlling bedbugs. But, Unfortunately, this can be expensive and all the people won't afford it. If you feel that you can't hire and afford the professional for bed bugs. Also if you want to get rid of them on your own, here are some DIY tips for you.
The scariest truth about bedbugs is you can't detect the problem early. the bed bug problem can't be detected until a few days after you bitten by the bugs. These bloodsucking pests are most active during the night. It is very rare that a victim of bedbugs sees them. Thus, Prevention is the best strategy to take against bed bugs. But, some how if you find bed bugs problem in your house. Then here are a few treatments that will help you to reduce the number of these bugs.
The first thing you need to do is, find the infected room. Bedrooms are the most important locations for bed bugs. But, any room where people sleep in the home may be infected by the bed bugs. The common site is the living room with sofa and sofa bed. The infections start only form a single room and then spread in the other area where people live. Finding the infection as soon as possible would be better. Because treating it as soon as possible will make it easier to get rid of the problem. If you wait for too long for the treatment the infection would be spread throughout your house.
If you found the infection on any of the furniture. Don't just throw it away. It can be very costly, and even need more expensive than that of the pest control treatment. Also if you think by throwing the infected furniture away the infection would be gone, then you are wrong. It is possible once you bring the new bed, your house would get re-infected. Instead of throwing it away, do the necessary treatment on it and use it again.
If you found that your bed is infected. Take all the bedding to the laundry, wash them in a hot water, at least at a temperature of 500C. Also, washing will do the trick and make that laundry or garment infection free. Also if the washing is not available there are some other options that you can try. You can heat the garments or bed lines in the cloth dryer around for 20 min, this will work. Also, you can use your household dryer to do so, by setting the temperature that would kill the bed bugs.
This is one of the most challenging things to do in DIY bed bug control. If you have caught an infestation early in your house or a room, you may not need the more thing to do. You can treat that by isolating the infected room and bed. But if the infections have spread to the other part of room and bed isolation may not work Enough. In this case, you may need the professional help. This is especially when you don't move your furniture. Also, you can treat the other parts of the house to get rid of the infections.
For the cleaning process, you should vacuum around your mattress and another part of the house. Also should vacuum around the bed frame, under the bed or other places where the bugs can hide. Also, dispose your vacuum bag outside of trash in the safe area from bedbugs.
Unfortunately, bed bugs are repellent to most of the insecticides. And there no magic pesticide that would kill them fast. Many pesticides are available that would help to treat the bed bugs. They need to be used safely and by the instruction. But many of them are ineffective, like the bug bombs, they are very much ineffective in the control of bed bugs. This is because they love hiding in the cracks and another place. These pesticides don't go into cracks and they avoid getting in contact with pesticides. So choose your pesticide carefully which will help you get rid of this infection.

Hi loves! Life has been a little crazy lately as I've been preparing to move out of my apartment!
I've posted some pictures/instagrams below that I have taken throughout the week!
On Monday I came across this necklace, which was hidden deep within my closet.
It's such a special piece to me and I'm upset that I had misplaced it for so long!
It's my monogram in braille, btw! 🙂
Tuesday I had the pleasure of puppy-sitting my favorite little guy:
Meet Deacon! Isn't he the sweetest pup you've ever seen?!
On Friday Philip and I left Winston-Salem to spend a weekend with his family in Charlotte.
I've had an absolute blast and I'm sad to see the weekend come to an end!
{J.Crew top} {Old Navy pants} {Target flats}
{Lily and Laura bracelets} {Michael Kors watch}
{Target cardigan} {J.Crew shorts} {Target wedges}
Unfortunately, it was raining on Saturday during the day so Philip and I took a trip to the mall!
That evening we enjoyed a lovely dinner his family at a restaurant called Luciano's.
Absolutely love the material and fun pattern of this {Target dress}!
Luckily on Sunday we had perfect pool weather.
Cheers to a great weekend!
With love, APJ


text: The author's spirit of unbridled irreverence and gift for conveying regional accents get full play here as Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Henry Peckover (Peckover Joins the Choir, 1994, etc.) finds himself in Inverballoch, a remote corner of Scotland. He's a guest at the annual celebration of the Robbie Burns Club for which his wife, Miriam, a chef, is preparing the dinner--haggis and all: a festive occasion, if sometimes incomprehensible to Henry, though marred by the discovery next morning of guest of honor Sir Gilbert Potter, stabbed to death with the dirk used to carve up the haggis. No one is more upset than Posy Cork, an archaeologist working a dig nearby on land owned by impoverished Sir Dougal Duncan. Sir Gilbert had promised funding for Posy's search for Roman ruins--work started 50 years ago by Wilfred Cuff-Bingley, who disappeared at about that time, never to be seen again. Posy's boyfriend and fellow guest at the banquet, Mike Trelawny, hopes she'll now decide to marry him and be an academic's wife at Princeton. To this mix add Sergeant Menzies, Inverballoch's entire police force; his 90-ish antique-dealing mother, with a secret of her own; Glasgow's CID Superintendent Bob Geddes; some oddball characters from the media; a neighborhood group of present-day Druids in slovenly encampment; and Peckover's assistant from London--Constable Jason Twitty--black, Harrow-educated, given to thrift-shop finery, and smart as a whip. In Kenyon's antic prose, it's a smile a page (only occasionally evoking visions of stand-up comics), but old wrongs do get righted, and justice is served. A winner.
