Heading into the final two weeks of the 2017 regular season, the race for the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference football championship features three horses.
Or, more accurately - Eagles, Bulldogs and Lakers.
Going into November, there are three teams that can win the 2017 GLIAC title - No. 12-ranked Ashland University (8-1 overall, 7-0 conference), No. 11-ranked Ferris State (7-1, 6-1) and No. 19-ranked Grand Valley State (7-2, 6-1).
The key Week 10 game in this race will be at Jack Miller Stadium/Martinelli Field, where the Eagles will play host to the Lakers on Saturday (Nov. 4) at 7 p.m.
At noon on Saturday, the Bulldogs will travel to Davenport (1-8, 0-7).
In Week 11, all three contenders are playing different opponents on Nov. 11 - Ashland at home on Senior Day at 1 p.m. vs. Saginaw Valley State (5-4, 3-4), Ferris State at Michigan Tech (4-5, 3-4) at noon and Grand Valley State at home at 1 p.m. vs. Tiffin (5-4, 4-3).
Defense Continues To Be The Stopper
Ashland's offense has turned the ball over just nine times in nine games this season. The defense has done a stellar job in keeping opponents off the board following "sudden changes," giving up just 10 points:
9-16 at Northwood-Fumble-Punt
9-16 at Northwood-Fumble-Turnover on downs
9-30 at Davenport-Muffed punt-Blocked field goal
10-7 at Northern Michigan-Fumble-Field goal
10-14 MICHIGAN TECH-Fumble-End of game
10-21 at Tiffin-Interception-Lost fumble
10-28 at Wayne State-Fumble-Missed field goal
10-28 at Wayne State-Fumble-Touchdown
10-28 at Wayne State-Fumble-Turnover on downs
Offense Climbing The Charts On Third Down
Thanks to a 12-for-17 showing on third-down conversions during Saturday's (Oct. 28) 30-10 win at Wayne State, Ashland is up to 53.9 percent for the season, best in the GLIAC through nine weeks.
The Eagles also are No. 2 in Division II in third-down percentage, trailing only LIU Post (57.0). Ashland's 69 third-down conversions are the most in D-II this season.
Shaheen, Meder Take Week 8 NFL Losses
Former Ashland University All-Americans Adam Shaheen and Jamie Meder played in Week 8 National Football League defeats on Sunday (Oct. 29).
Shaheen, a tight end, started in a three-tight-end set in the Bears' 20-12 loss at the New Orleans Saints. Meder came off the bench as a defensive tackle in the Cleveland Browns' 33-16 loss vs. the Minnesota Vikings in England on Sunday morning.

The Aging Narcissist
What are the chances of being adopted by a child-like narcissistic father and a self-centered mother, both without an empathetic bone between them?
What are the chances of having both those parents developing dementia?
Today, it hit me.
No wonder I was feeling depressed (and not writing much) over the last couple days.
My oldest daughter just turned sixteen. And while celebrating this momentous event, her birthday also served as a reminder that 15 years ago, my adoptive mother fell down the rabbit hole of Alzheimers. She died seven years later. Somewhere in there, my paternal grandmother developed Alzheimers and I was forced to handle that situation because my adoptive father was too child-like to take responsibility. After one (glorious) year respite from my job as manager of my a-mom's care, my father began to act more strangely than usual, developing a nasty, fast progessing dementia called "Lewy Bodies."
And here we go again, except this time it's worse because my father has no other friends or family but me, me, me 24/7.
As he makes his rapid descent into this awful disease, he's getting more needy. He calls at four a.m. to ask for a shipment of candy. He accuses me of not visiting for two years (it's been several months). He shouts into the phone, "Please don't forget me! I'm so lonely!"
Before you go and post a comment about dementia and behavior, I know. He can't help it. It's the disease. Sort of. It's just taken his normal (for him) behavior and ramped it up. He's always demanded constant attention. He's never had any empathy for me or for others. He's the kind of self-absorbed person who was abused as a kid, never got over it and stopped maturing, and looks to other people to provide a steady stream of attention. He the child. Me his supply source. Now he the dementia patient. Me the emotional caretaker. Again.
I am a cesspool of resentment. His neediness is overwhelming.
There is no solution. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is no wellspring of love and gratitude for my self-absorbed adoptive father. I'm not sure if it's possible to love someone like that. I act - diligently and morally - on his behalf, handling his finances, overseeing his care, calling him every single day without fail. Yet. I feel so guilty sometimes. Aren't we supposed to love our parents? I have no love for him.
And here's where the adoption part comes in. Every once in a while, I wonder...why did my adoptive parents adopt? While my a-mom was a widely confirmed party girl, she was also practical. She married my father, I believe, because she was a divorced Catholic woman with no money or prospects. He, for all his issues, had a steady job. I remember her being very impatient with and dismissive of him. He was exhausting to be around. Did she sense there was something off about him? Did she hope a child might change him? Make him act more like a man than a child? If so, he never grew into the job.
And while my dad has never SAID he expects my gratitude for being adopted, he ACTS that way. Like it's perfectly normal that the daughter he mostly neglected would stick by his side, handle every rocky situation and cater to his needs.
No wonder I'm seething.
All that ugly stuff said, I'm MUCH better at not falling all over myself trying to prove myself, being overly-responsible, calling him back two seconds after he calls me, rushing around in a meaningless flurry of unnecessary activity. Because that's how I used to behave. He TOTALLY controlled me. This man I don't even like. Now, I continue to take care of him (sigh), but I've put up some boundaries, respond according to the situation and, believe it or not, can hang up the phone after a difficult conversation and, mostly, forget about it a half hour later instead of stewing for days.
Every once in a while, I have a bit of a "relapse" (and blog about it). But that's the trouble dealing with an aging narcissist. They only get worst and the whole "unfairness" of it all can be overwhelming.

FAQs: When and Where to Buy ETFs
Purchasing ETFs, especially for the first time, can be a daunting task. Here are some common questions about the process of purchasing funds for the first time:
Where is the best place for me to buy ETFs?
Set up an account with a financial supermarket such as Fidelity, Vanguard, T. Rowe Price, or Charles Schwab. These places allow you to hold ETFs, along with other investments — such as mutual funds or individual stocks and bonds — in one account. (You probably don't need or want individual securities.)
Different financial supermarkets offer different services and charge different prices depending on how much you have to invest, how often you trade, and whether you do everything online or by phone. You need to do some shopping around to find the brokerage house that works best for you.
Is there a good or bad time to buy ETFs?
Nope, not really, at least not that can be determined in advance. Studies show rather conclusively that the stock and bond markets (or any segment of the stock or bond markets) is just about as likely to go up after a good day as it is after a bad day (week, month, year, or any other piece of the calendar).
Trying to time the market tends to be a fool's game — or, just as often, a game that some like to play with other people's money.

One thing I've learned in the last 6 & 1/2 years is the value of celebrating "small" victories.
I can't tell you how many times I've prayed and asked God for instant healing. So far, His answer has always been "No" - but that doesn't mean He isn't answering my prayers. He continues to do many "small" but great works in my spirit and in my body.
I guess we think it's easy to praise God for a "big" miracle like instant healing, but we easily miss the less spectaluar things He does everyday.
So now when I finally get to visit the beach - I rejoice!
When I can take a B-vitamin supplement for the first time in years - I sing!
When I'm strong enough to eat dinner at the dining table - I lift up my hands in praise!
These little details may not be worthy of a TV interview, but they are still worth celebrating - because they are evidence of God's loving and powerful work in my life.
So when you make it through one whole day without sugar - rejoice!
When you can do two minutes of stretches instead of one - clap your hands!
When you eat a strange vegetable and actually enjoy it - laugh with joy!
Rejoice in the Lord and celebrate the victories HE gives - even when they're "small." =)
"They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. The LORD is gracious and compassionate...The LORD is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made." -Psalm 145:7,8,13

Project Value
Client: Westfield
Type: Retail
With a total retail floor area of 1,883,700 ft², Westfield Stratford City is one of the largest shopping centres in Europe. Located adjacent to the London Olympic Park and Stratford Regional and International stations, it is part of a large multi-purpose development project named 'Stratford City.'
The £1.45 billion complex houses more than 300 shops, 70 restaurants, a 14 screen cinema, 3 hotels, a bowling alley and the UK's largest casino. Westfield Stratford City also provides the main access to the Olympic Park for the 2012 games showcasing the main sporting events on large screens displayed along the centre walkways. Using innovative technology, Westfield Stratford City was the first large scale use of 'pavegen' floor tiles to harness the kinetic energy of pedestrian foot traffic to generate usable electricity. It will also contribute significantly to the local economy, with the creation of up to 10,000 permanent jobs, including 2,000 jobs going to local residents of the area.
In order to alleviate the security risks at Westfield Stratford City, it was important that the right provision of uniformed security personnel was in force. Munnelly Security provided 24 hour manned guarding to monitor and protect the site from the risk associated with unwanted intruders. Furthermore, by taking advantage of our logistics experience, we were able to supply Multi-Skilled Day Guards; who had the correct certification and skills to carry out both security and traffic marshalling duties.
Mobile patrols undertook random checks at irregular intervals. This ensured an identifiable pattern did not emerge. Munnelly Security officers kept all records, required by the Client, up to date and produced them upon request. During silent hours, our Security Officers checked into an external security call centre at hourly intervals to record and monitor their progress throughout the night shift. All of which played a major role in the success of the service Munnelly Security provided.

Popular Lake Tahoe Wedding Locations
Because of the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe and its diverse settings, selecting an ideal wedding location for your ceremony presents a lot of choices. To help you with selecting the perfect spot for your special day, we created a list of a few popular wedding locations. Of course, you can always choose to have your ceremony at any of our other wedding venues we have listed if you prefer because all of our ceremony sites are quite exceptional with each having a beauty of its own. It's all up to you…it's your special day!
In keeping it simple for you and based on their popularity as determined by brides and grooms of the past, here are some top choices.
Tahoe's Best Beach Sites: Lakeside Beach and Regan Beach
Lakeside Beach
A perfect spot for a toes-in-the-sand affair and one of Tahoe's best wedding sites is Lakeside Beach. As the name implies, your ceremony will take place on the waterfront, presenting a spectacular backdrop for your once in a lifetime event. The tri-colored lake surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range bestows one of the most striking views in Tahoe, allowing your walk down the aisle to be one of extraordinary caliber.
Centrally located in the heart of town resting on the edge of Nevada, Lakeside Beach is a private resort that offers exclusive use for you and your guests. This tranquil and captivating setting consists of a spacious area that's very suitable for large parties of formal or informal attire.
Read more about Lakeside Beach
Regan Beach
A favorite spot along the south shore offering plenty of amenities for your wedding day is Regan Beach. This appealing ceremony venue is preferred not only because of its beautiful setting and convenient access, but also because it features varied options of where your ceremony can take place.
One area of this prime locale that's picture-perfect for weddings is on the grassy knoll under the pine trees, ideal for a summer event in the shade. It is slightly elevated above the shoreline, offering a birds-eye view of the fantastic backdrop that consists of the tricolored lake and grand Sierras, an impeccable scene for the nuptial celebration and photographic session afterwards. This portion of Regan Beach can be reserved for private use and is an excellent spot for large wedding parties.
Near the grassy knoll area just a short jaunt away is the shoreline of Lake Tahoe. Great for small gatherings with intimate appeal, this alternate lakeside beach setting is the ideal place for the bride and groom who want a toes-in-the-sand affair at the water's edge.
Read more about our Regan Beach venue.
The Best on the Bluff: Emerald Bay and Logan Shoals
Emerald Bay
Celebrating your special day on the bluff of Emerald Bay will be a most exhilarating experience and one that will be remembered forever. Brides and grooms are awed at first sight of the panoramic view of Lake Tahoe with the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountain Range surrounding the alpine lake.
Couples from around the globe come to Lake Tahoe aspiring to marry, and many of them find themselves exchanging their vows while towering three hundred feet above the bay. The photo opportunity provided is unsurpassed.
Emerald Bay has been an awesome experience for many couples, and this venue is one of the most popular wedding locations in Lake Tahoe. It is especially favored for its intimate setting, geared mainly for small groups.
Read more about our Emerald Bay weddings and what they include!
Logan Shoals
Very similar to Emerald Bay, Logan Shoals is another popular wedding site that is significantly elevated above the water, providing striking aerial views of the lake. It is an appreciably likeable environment for engaged couples to exchange their vows and be pronounced husband and wife. The sheltered mountainside nook produces a very private setting.
Logan Shoals is especially suited for sunset weddings due to being situated on the east side of the lake. When conditions are right, the prominent reddish hue of an alpenglow sunset is an amazing site, and one that will be long remembered. Logan Shoals is one of our few Nevada wedding locations and is one of our most romantic and intimate venues offered for a very special occasion.

Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that grows on you as you get older. When you're a kid, it's a rather boring and anticlimactic holiday, merely the pretext of what's to come in December. You start to appreciate it more when the prospect of gifts is no longer the most exciting thing in the world, when the event itself becomes what to look forward to. Whether the idea of a familial gathering makes you anxious or filled with joy, there's something about the atmosphere of Thanksgiving that feels warm, renewing, and full of life. If you're aiming to give thanks to the environment this year by having a more sustainable thanksgiving, here are a few things you can keep in mind whilst pilgrim-dancing and avoiding your creepy Uncle.
You don't have to visit a farmer's market to find local foods for thanksgiving. Several options can be found at the grocery store if you're inclined to search for them. And then you can have a five minute discussion with the attendant about just how local it is.
Label Knowledge!
I had no idea what the difference was until I did some studying, but pastured means the turkey you're buying was raised outdoors with plenty of space, and free range means that the turkey was likely brought up indoors, but was at least outside of a cage. And it's easy to just take the word organic on a surface level, but if you see this on a turkey, it means that it was raised free of antibiotics and fed only organic feed.
Natural Decor!
If your family likes to decorate a lot for Thanksgiving, try going outside together and collecting pinecones and leaves instead of buying plastic decorations from the store. More fun and more sustainable.
Remember to compost as much of the scraps from prep and post meal as possible. Here's a good resource for learning the ways of composting.
Cloth Napkins, Real Dishes
Avoiding disposable plates is a good place to start when sustainablizing your tableware. You can take this up a notch by using cloth napkins instead of paper ones, washing and reusing instead of throwing out.
Use Your Leftovers
Thanksgiving leftovers can be turned into several delicious meals in the days following. No need to discard uneaten food.
Exercise Before Digging in
Not only is this healthy for all the regular reasons, it will also make the impending feast all the more satisfying. You'll be hungrier and more capable of porking out sans guilt, the knowledge of having earned it present in each bite.
No matter what, we hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving. Feel free to share any of your quirky traditions below.

If you're a fan of Fox's "MasterChef" then you're most likely an even bigger fan of judge Graham Elliot, the Michelin 2-star recipient and 3x James Beard Award winner whose down-to-earth personality is the perfect compliment to Gordon Ramsey's often gruff demeanor.
Recently I had the opportunity to talk all things grilling with Chef Elliot, a video of which you can check out below along with one of his favorite summertime backyard recipes –- the GrahamBurger -- which he pairs perfectly with Mike's Hard Lemonade!
Also, be sure to tune in to Graham's latest TV project, Food Network's "Craziest Restaurants in America" (a possible prequel to "America's Craziest Griller"?)
THE GRAHAMBURGER (paired with Mike's Hard Lemonade)
5 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups olive oil
1 pound ground sirloin beef
1/4 pound ground pork
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 red onion, sliced 1/8-inch thick
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 ounces brie cheese, sliced into 4 thin pieces
4 pretzel rolls
1 bunch watercress
Put the garlic cloves and the 1 cup of olive oil in a small saucepan and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes or until the garlic is soft. Lift the garlic from the oil, using a slotted spoon. Transfer the garlic to a blender, add the mayonnaise and blend for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth. Spoon into a small container and refrigerate until needed. The mayo can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Mix the sirloin and pork together and season with salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties, each about 1/2-inch thick. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
Put the onions in a bowl and add the vinegar and the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let the onions marinate for at least 30 minutes but if possible for 8 to 10 hours or overnight. (The longer the better!)
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill so that the heat is medium-high.
Gently put the onions on the grill and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Turn them carefully so that they don't slip between the grilling grates.
Put the burgers on the grill alongside the onions and grill for 7 minutes. Turn them over and grill for 7 minutes longer, or until cooked through. Three minutes before the burgers are done, lay the brie on the burgers to give it time to melt.
Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the buns. Top with a cheeseburger and then garnish with the onions and watercress. Serve immediately.

Family and friends will gather at Prince Kuhio Park in Poipu for the service, which will be themed "The Royal Man."
Donations are also being collected to fund Kauanui's dream: a surfing camp for kids under 14. To donate, checks can be made to "Emery Kauanui Junior Memorial Fund" and sent to P.O. Box 2302, La Jolla, CA 92038.
Four San Diego men have been arrested and charged with murder in the death of Kauanui, who was 24.
Specific details were unavailable.
Honolulu police Capt. Frank Fujii said only that the investigation "is at a very preliminary stage right now." He declined further comment.
The landfill is operated by Waste Management Inc. of Houston.
In a written statement, the company said it was recently made aware of an issue regarding an employee at the landfill, but said it would not provide specifics because it is a personnel matter.
"The company is investigating the matter and is fully cooperating with local authorities, including the Honolulu Police Department," the company said. "The employee in question is on paid administrative leave and Waste Management will take appropriate and necessary action if it is determined that a Waste Management employee acted improperly."
Moses will take office Friday as director of the agency that develops policies and coordinates state programs relating to veterans, their dependents and survivors. He will succeed Edward Cruickshank, who resigned.
Moses served five terms in the state House of Representatives, where he was minority whip, caucus assistant leader and policy leader. He represented the 40th District (Makakilo-Kapolei) and formerly Ewa and Kunia. He lost to Democrat Sharon Har in the November election.
He retired from the Marines in 1991 after serving 25 years, much of the time as a naval flight officer on electronic warfare aircraft. His awards include a Navy Achievement Award for administrative and managerial skills, according to a news release.
About $6 million will be spent on security upgrades. The Federal Aviation Administration will give $3.2 million to enhance security at airports in Lihue, Hilo, Kona, Molokai and Lanai, and at Dillingham Airfield. A total of nearly $2.8 million will be provided to the Honolulu and Kahului airports.
"This initiative will integrate Hawaii's eight primary airports into a single, coordinated system that will meet the Federal Aviation Administration's security requirements," Inouye said in the release.
Hawaii will also receive $5.7 million to replace the Hilo Airport terminal building's air-conditioning system, which is 30 years old and no longer adequately provides the needed cooling capacity, Inouye said.
The boy turned himself in to police yesterday, and was arrested on suspicion of second-degree arson. He was later released to his parents.
Police said other arrests are forthcoming.
Witnesses reportedly saw two juveniles in the area of the fire, who were identified and held at the scene, police said.
After investigation, police learned the juveniles were allegedly responsible for setting the fire, police said.
The fire, which started on the edges of the park, burned about 20 acres, and came close to homes in the area, a fire official said.
The woman met the suspect for the first time that night, and took him back to her home about 7 p.m., police said.
The woman told police the man raped her after she refused to have sex with him. Police did not provide a description of the suspect.
A 45-year-old man said he was staying alone at a friend's Waipahu apartment on March 31 when the suspect entered without permission.
The suspect allegedly hit the man in the head several times, while the victim tried to fight back. The suspect then took property from the apartment and fled, police said.
Police arrested the suspect Wednesday for investigation of first-degree robbery and burglary.
Inspired by the national TV show, "America's Most Wanted," the public access Channel 54 program "Hawaii Island's Most Wanted" is hosted by police Maj. Jay Enanoria who asks the public for information about any wanted or missing persons.
The first show features a missing Hilo man Stephen Lamaka Pua, 69, who was last seen April 13 at the Kaumana home of Sarah Faye Wilson, 28, and Cedrick Donell Darby, 34, who is also known as Walter. Wilson was also later reported missing, police said.
The show also asks for the public's help in finding 32-year-old suspected car thief Christian Alameda. He is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs 145 pounds, has black hair and brown eyes, and frequents the Hawaiian Paradise Park area of Puna, police say. He drives an older model Honda CRX and frequently repaints it, police said.
The program airs on Channel 54 5 p.m. Sundays and 5:30 p.m. Fridays, and intermittently on Channel 53. The show is a project of Crime Stoppers Hilo Inc., which partners police with the business community and the media.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 961-8300 (Hilo) and 329-8181 (Kona), or the nonemergency police number at 935-3311.

They say that having an apple day keeps the doctor away. And in case you did not know, it also helps you to whiten your teeth naturally. Chewing the apples helps you to scrub your teeth. Apple is rich in malic acid, which is a component of many tooth pastes.
The malic acid also increases saliva, which helps to clean the teeth and remove stains. This was proven in a study conducted at the University of Grenada in Spain.

Managing packages¶
There are many options available for the commands described on this page. For details, see Command reference.
Searching for packages¶
Use the terminal or an Anaconda Prompt for the following steps.
To see if a specific package, such as SciPy, is available for installation:
conda search scipy
To see if a specific package, such as SciPy, is available for installation from Anaconda.org:
conda search --override-channels --channel defaults scipy
To see if a specific package, such as iminuit, exists in a specific channel, such as http://conda.anaconda.org/mutirri, and is available for installation:
conda search --override-channels --channel http://conda.anaconda.org/mutirri iminuit
Installing packages¶
Use the terminal or an Anaconda Prompt for the following steps.
To install a specific package such as SciPy into an existing environment "myenv":
conda install --name myenv scipy
If you do not specify the environment name, which in this
example is done by
--name myenv, the package installs
into the current environment:
conda install scipy
To install a specific version of a package such as SciPy:
conda install scipy=0.15.0
To install multiple packages at once, such as SciPy and cURL:
conda install scipy curl
It is best to install all packages at once, so that all of the dependencies are installed at the same time.
To install multiple packages at once and specify the version of the package:
conda install scipy=0.15.0 curl=7.26.0
To install a package for a specific Python version:
conda install scipy=0.15.0 curl=7.26.0 -n py34_env
If you want to use a specific Python version, it is best to use an environment with that version. For more information, see Troubleshooting.
Installing similar packages¶
Installing packages that have similar filenames and serve similar purposes may return unexpected results. The package last installed will likely determine the outcome, which may be undesirable. If the two packages have different names, or if you're building variants of packages and need to line up other software in the stack, we recommend using Mutex metapackages.
Installing packages from Anaconda.org¶
Packages that are not available using
conda install can be
obtained from Anaconda.org, a package management service for
both public and private package repositories. Anaconda.org
is an Anaconda product, just like Anaconda and Miniconda.
To install a package from Anaconda.org:
In a browser, go to http://anaconda.org.
To find the package named bottleneck, type
bottleneckin the top-left box named Search Packages.
Find the package that you want and click it to go to the detail page.
The detail page displays the name of the channel. In this example it is the "pandas" channel.
Now that you know the channel name, use the
conda installcommand to install the package. In your terminal window or an Anaconda Prompt, run:
conda install -c pandas bottleneck
This command tells conda to install the bottleneck package from the pandas channel on Anaconda.org.
To check that the package is installed, in your terminal window or an Anaconda Prompt, run:
conda list
A list of packages appears, including bottleneck.
For information on installing packages from multiple channels, see Managing channels.
Installing non-conda packages¶
If a package is not available from conda or Anaconda.org, you may be able to find and install the package via conda-forge or with another package manager like pip.
Pip packages do not have all the features of conda packages and we recommend first trying to install any package with conda. If the package is unavailable through conda, try finding and installing it with conda-forge.
If you still cannot install the package, you can try installing it with pip. The differences between pip and conda packages cause certain unavoidable limits in compatibility but conda works hard to be as compatible with pip as possible.
Both pip and conda are included in Anaconda and Miniconda, so you do not need to install them separately.
Conda environments replace virtualenv, so there is no need to activate a virtualenv before using pip.
It is possible to have pip installed outside a conda environment or inside a conda environment.
To gain the benefits of conda integration, be sure to install pip inside the
currently active conda environment and then install packages with that
instance of pip. The command
conda list shows packages installed this way,
with a label showing that they were installed with pip.
You can install pip in the current conda environment with the command
conda install pip, as discussed in Using pip in an environment.
If there are instances of pip installed both inside and outside the current conda environment, the instance of pip installed inside the current conda environment is used.
To install a non-conda package:
Activate the environment where you want to put the program:
On Windows, in your Anaconda Prompt, run
activate myenv.
On macOS and Linux,in your terminal window, run
conda activate myenv.
To use pip to install a program such as See, in your terminal window or an Anaconda Prompt, run:
pip install see
To verify the package was installed, in your terminal window or an Anaconda Prompt, run:
conda list
If the package is not shown, install pip as described in Using pip in an environment and try these commands again.
Installing commercial packages¶
Installing a commercial package such as IOPro is the same as installing any other package. In your terminal window or an Anaconda Prompt, run:
conda install --name myenv iopro
This command installs a free trial of one of Anaconda's commercial packages called IOPro, which can speed up your Python processing. Except for academic use, this free trial expires after 30 days.
Viewing a list of installed packages¶
Use the terminal or an Anaconda Prompt for the following steps.
To list all of the packages in the active environment:
conda list
To list all of the packages in a deactivated environment:
conda list -n myenv
Updating packages¶
conda update command to check to see if a new update is
available. If conda tells you an update is available, you can
then choose whether or not to install it.
Use the terminal or an Anaconda Prompt for the following steps.
To update a specific package:
conda update biopython
To update Python:
conda update python
To update conda itself:
conda update conda
Conda updates to the highest version in its series, so Python 2.7 updates to the highest available in the 2.x series and 3.6 updates to the highest available in the 3.x series.
To update the Anaconda metapackage:
conda update conda
conda update anaconda
Regardless of what package you are updating, conda compares versions and then reports what is available to install. If no updates are available, conda reports "All requested packages are already installed."
If a newer version of your package is available and you wish to
update it, type
y to update:
Proceed ([y]/n)? y
Preventing packages from updating (pinning)¶
Pinning a package specification in an environment prevents
packages listed in the
pinned file from being updated.
In the environment's
conda-meta directory, add a file
pinned that includes a list of the packages that you
do not want updated.
EXAMPLE: The file below forces NumPy to stay on the 1.7 series, which is any version that starts with 1.7, and forces SciPy to stay at exactly version 0.14.2:
numpy 1.7.*
scipy ==0.14.2
With this
pinned file,
conda update numpy keeps NumPy at
1.7.1, and
conda install scipy=0.15.0 causes an error.
Use the
--no-pin flag to override the update restriction on
a package. In the terminal or an Anaconda Prompt, run:
conda update numpy --no-pin
Because the
pinned specs are included with each conda
install, subsequent
conda update commands without
--no-pin will revert NumPy back to the 1.7 series.
Removing packages¶
Use the terminal or an Anaconda Prompt for the following steps.
To remove a package such as SciPy in an environment such as myenv:
conda remove -n myenv scipy
To remove a package such as SciPy in the current environment:
conda remove scipy
To remove multiple packages at once, such as SciPy and cURL:
conda remove scipy curl
To confirm that a package has been removed:
conda list

Understanding the Requirements
Following through on legislation reforming the Portuguese Tourist Industry in 2008, Decree Law 128/2014 of 29 August (Law No. 128 of August 29,2014) confirms the statutory regime for the installation, development and functioning of tourist projects in Portugal. The reforms outlined in the law are based on 3 fundamental principles: simplification, flexibility and better supervision and control with stiffer consequences for breaches of regulations. You will have to deal with the Tax Office ("AT") and Social Security.

Dropmyemail, the most comprehensive email backup solution in the cloud, is taking the next step to increase its presence in North America by opening a sales and business development office in Dallas, Texas. In the 5 short months since the launch at DEMO Asia '12, Singapore-based Dropmyemail has achieved plenty in winning numerous accolades from DEMO Asia '12 and Echelon '12, reaching 911,000+ signups, purchasing US-based cloud backup service – OrbitFiles and more. Now, Dropmyemail is continuing its phenomenal growth with setting up shop in what is known as the "Telecommunication Corridor".
"Dallas is the "Telecommunication Corridor" of the US. It is the global headquarters to AT&T, the 2nd largest telecommunication company in the US. It also houses several regional & global HQ's such as Samsung Telecommunications, Texas Instruments, and many others. We are looking for US partners in the space for our cloud-to-cloud email backup service solution," says John Fearon, CEO and Founder of Dropmyemail.
He goes on to explain further that the move to Dallas instead of the usual Silicon Valley in San Francisco is taken strategically for strinking up key collaborations.
"We currently have had interest from both Samsung Telecommunication and AT&T. We are also exploring partnerships with other technology and telecommunications companies."
Fearon believes that telecommunications companies' interest in cloud-to-cloud backup represents a global opportunity.
"We have found that telecommunications companies globally are interested in bringing our solutions to their vast base of consumer customers to help back up their emails and phone data."
For telecommunication companies all over the world, Dropmyemail offers a value-adding solution to their massive user base. Year of declining revenues has awakened these companies to take action as global usage of SMS and phone calls decrease with the advent of alternatives like Whatsapp and Skype.
The new office will be headed by Chris Axberg, Dropmyemail's Head of North America (ex-Yahoo South East Asia Regional Director) who says, "Dropmyemail's offer is unique and brings a cloud based back up solutions to the US market just as it is does in Asia. We are one of a kind globally in the cloud backup space. Our goal remains to back up the Internet."
Dallas is a stepping stone for Dropmyemail to expand and scale up in the US. Dropmyemail has hired and will continue to hire talented business development and sales people in the US. There are further plans to eventually expand to New York, Chicago, and San Francisco to pursue further partnerships and sales.
The Dallas office is now the 3rd international office after the Mumbai and Buenos Aires which opened simultaneously 2 months ago. In the near future, Dropmyemail's Head of EMEA, Charif El Ansari (ex-Google SouthEast Asia Head of Business Development) will set up the 4th office to pursue Dropmyemail's interests in the region.
About Dropmysite
Dropmysite is a company that backs up the Internet, with a focus on backing up Cloud data, such as websites, emails, chat, social media, and more. The company has developed and launched two websites: www.Dropmysite.com and www.Dropmyemail.com – the latter is a Cloud-to-Cloud backup solution for Emails, a freemium consumer service that lets you backup your emails, contacts, chat and calendars, automatically. It is a simple and secure process that works with almost all platforms, including backup Yahoo Mail, backup Hotmail and Gmail.

Let's do a different thing: for one time, no downloads. Only education.
Since I was a kid, I always loved Michael Jackson's music, especially the Quincy Jones period. Let's talk about his trademark move, the Moonwalk.
The roots of the Moonwalk are deep in the past: it's a long long story. This foot trick is really old, 1955: did you expect that?
The next video was a big surprise to me: one of the dancers behind Michael in the "Bad" videoclip was actually Michael's dance teacher, he was the guy who taught Jacko the Moonwalk, and a lot of other moves too. His name is Jeffrey Daniel.
He was also a member of 80′s band Shalamar. Their song "A night to remember" was used by Mase in "Get Ready": do you remember that? Unfortunately I do. Terrible song: why did Puffy pick up that? That's why some people still hate him, I guess.
In this clip Jeffrey performs over the Shalamar hit song, rocking the gayest haircut ever. Despite that, his moves are remarkable.
Jeffrey Daniel was around since the early ages of Soul Train: watch this astounding performance by him and his group, The Eclipse: wooooooow! Really insane. I wish I could dance like him. Well, maybe in another life.
tra l'altro al soul train ballano un pezzo dei jackson five
Non è Jackson Five…è un pezzo da "Off The Wall" di MJ.
Michael avrà visto il tipo e avrà detto "ok, lo compro".
cazzo e' vero off the wall… erroraccio… cmq secondo me non sei molto lontano dalla verita'…
Tutte le trasmissioni che ho visto in UK sulle merdate degli anni '80 avevano sempre una parte sugli Shalamar e su come Michelino si fosse ispirato al tizio. Fra parentesi negli Shalamar cantava anche Jody Watley, che e' grande amica di Eric B e Rakim, ed aveva fatto pure un pezzo con un loro featuring, Friends.
E fra parentesi Ghostface dice "Like Shalamar in '86″, quindi viva gli Shalamar!
This was great. A big fan of the site all the way from Brooklyn.
thanx very much, SeanBlaze!
glad you liked the moonwalk history.
Gettin props from BK is kind of a big achievement for us! Thanx again.
oh damn I think I've missed it, all the videos are either down or not embedded well, maybe a direct youtube link will suffice.
really love this blog, been checking it for quite sometime. keep up the excellent job.
peace from Boston
Thanks for your interest, Mike.
I've added direct links to youtube.
Seems like embedded videos come and go, since right now they are working.
Anyway, check'em out

Meet Dr. Mike Risoldi
When I was just 16, I witnessed how effective chiropractic care could be in changing someone's life. All my life, I had watched my mother suffer with debilitating migraine headaches. She would spend days resting in her dark bedroom, unable to move due to the severe pain she experienced. My mom tried a number of different types of doctors and every medication possible but nothing helped. Finally, it was a chiropractor who turned her life around.
When my mother started receiving regular chiropractic care, not only did her headaches subside, but her ulcerative colitis also began to heal. After I saw these positive transformations in my mom, I knew that I wanted to be a chiropractor. I wanted to help others find their way to a healthier and pain-free life.
Background and Education
- I grew up in Trenton, New Jersey and completed my undergraduate studies at Montclair State University. In 1996, I graduated from Life University School of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia. After graduation, I moved to Florida. I have been practicing here in Clearwater since 1998.
My Approach to Healing
My main goal is to empower my patients to maximize their life's potential. While some chiropractors may choose to focus on neck and back pain, I offer my patients a well-rounded, holistic approach to healthcare. I work closely with my patients to offer continuing education in the areas of exercise, nutrition, supplements and maintaining a healthy mindset. With personalized, gentle adjustments, I can get you on the path to healing from a number of health concerns.
"The power of the human body and its ability to heal never ceases to amaze me. Every day, we witness small miracles in the lives of our patients. These changes fuel my passion for helping others." – Dr. Mike Risoldi

Since I was a kid, I was amazed by the complexity of the human body. This quote always inspired me:
"The doctor of the future will give no medications but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." – Thomas Edison
While at the University of Florida, I knew I wanted to help the sick become well again and to do that I needed to take a whole-body approach. Nobody does this better than a chiropractor. We can start the healing process in the body from the inside-out, by fixing the "master controller" of the body, the nervous system.
Our family is growing and my wife and I are expecting our firstborn son in November 2017. We enjoy the Florida outdoors and being active every weekend with the occasional Netflix binge on the side.
Background and Education:
I grew up in Gainesville, Florida. After graduating from the University of Florida, I graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College in Port Orange, FL in 2013.
My Approach to Healing
I want to make the community where I work and play the healthiest it can possibly be. Look at the stats. People are becoming sicker and sicker each day and they need our help. My passion is working with the young and old to get them back to health and doing the things they enjoy doing.

This was taken due to a comment by Deb at Garden Author.
She wondered if I didn't have any 'turkey tail' fungus.
Yep. I do. :-) follow the above link for great information!
Would you have any "fun-guy" of your own to share?
Shady G.
Everything and more about gardening in Shady's SE Iowa (USA) location.
I never knew what that top fun-guy was called before and it certainly does look like a turkey tail :)
Love those little bottles with stoppers too.
Lack of rain here means lack of fun-guys so no pictures from me.
I like those funky white ones. They kind of remind me of bowling pins. Have I got fungi? I've got huge ones on my continuously rotting Boxelders. None in the lawn right now, though.
Love the tails and milk bottles. Awesome fungi! I've since found new ones at my Mom's - a reward for mowing her lawn... she was very amused as I set up a fungi photo shoot, while Lucy exhibited her usual bored, blasé attitude. ~ Deb
flydragon, I'm going to put a link to an informative post about the turkey tail fungus. Pretty interesting! (Aptly named!) I'm going to see if I can find out what those others are! ;-)
MMD, This has been an amazing year for the fungi! I've had so many of those stinkhorns. It's hard to believe I'd never seen them before! ha.
Deb, That was a cute post of Lucy. :-)
great Fungi ! LOL
Great Fungi fun. The top one is actually pretty--the bottom ones look like deformed bowling pins.
I've seen some random fungi off and on this summer and probably have a couple in my lawn right now. The weekly mowing gobbles them up but with any good rain they pop right back out.
I posted a slide show of several I found recently when visiting the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Those bowling pin mushrooms are very unique.
Meems @Hoe&Shovel
rosemary, I've seen more varieties this summer! We've had an excellent growing season here this year. :-) Thanks for visiting!
aiyana, I think the turkey tails are pretty, too. I've often called them shelf fungus, but I was wrong. I have no idea what these bottom little fellows are, but I'm going to research it tonight! :-)
Meems I'm glad you could visit. This has been a great year for fungi! I want to see your slide show. lol.
Shady, these are definitely fun! We've not had (m)any pop up in back this year, and that's rather odd considering we usually get at least a bunch of toadstools and puffballs. Maybe we should look again now since all that rain moved through last night!
IVG, I just left a request for help at UBC Botanical Garden & Center for help in id-ing the "bowling pins." :-)
I really like the top "fun-guy"...what great colors. In fact, I think the lighter shade is the exact color of my living room wall!!!! No wonder I like it.
Great photos!
LOL! Thanks for stopping! :-)

Fusion design works well with the LED lights. Intel's latest technology. Internal optical drive with LabelFlash. 3GB RAM. Recharging USB ports. Affordable.
No HDMI. Battery life could be better.
Bottom Line
The Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830 is not particularly svelte, but its Fusion finish and affordable price tag make it a must-see.
In adding a fresh new face to its Satellite line, Toshiba engineers spent the long winter months focused on industrial design. Just in time for the warm weather, the company has rolled out the sleek byproduct of that toil. The Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830 is dressed up in what Toshiba calls its Fusion finish. While the technique of fusing decorative patterns with glossy laminates isn't new in the laptop world, the U405's look is bound to entice media enthusiasts and college-bound students. It also doesn't hurt that this 4.7-pound portable integrates Intel's finest technology and has a starting price of only $1,149 (direct).
Similar Products
In-Mold Decoration (IMD) is a hot trend in laptop lid decoration: A subtle pattern is inlaid under a lustrous finish. HP started it (check out the HP Pavilion dv6500t), Gateway is using it (as with the Gateway M-150X), and ASUS just launched its own in-mold models. TheU405's Fusion finish uses a pattern of parallel white lines, inlaid beneath the glossy black of the cover. The interior is dressed up in the same fashion, with the pattern adorning the palm rest areas and the edges of the full-size keyboard. The keyboard is heavily glazed to give it a really shiny lookso shiny that under bright lights the glare coming off the keys can be distracting. But the keys feel like those of a grand piano and are responsive to the touch. The mouse buttons, made out of chrome, are attractive and click quietly.
What really distinguishes the interior is Toshiba's use of LED lights. The bright white LEDs provide a striking contrast to the very dark grays and blacks of the keyboard and its surroundings. The Satellite brand logo on the bottom left-hand corner, a line above the touchpad, and the touch-sensitive multimedia buttons all light up. I wouldn't classify this system as an ultraportable, as its 4.7-pound weight puts it more in line with mainstream laptops. It competes with systems like the Apple MacBook 13-inch (Core 2 Duo) and the Dell Vostro 1310, which weigh about 5 pounds and have roomy 13.3-inch widescreens. The U405's 13.3-inch screen is superb for all things multimedia.
Users will find the feature set impressively strong. The system comes with a built-in dual-layer DVD burner that uses LabelFlash technology to etch pictures and text onto special DVD/CD media (though you have to purchase the media separately). The three USB ports have unique charging capabilities. With USB Sleep-and-Charge, you can plug in your iPod or other handheld device and have it charge even when the U405 is turned off, as long as the laptop is plugged into an AC adapter. You can also find a FireWire port and a 4-in-1 card reader (SD, xD, Memory Stick, and Memory Stick PRO). Although you can make out an HDMI logo on the side, the U405 doesn't include an HDMI porta bummer, since it leaves you with VGA as your only video-out option. (The space for an HDMI port is there in case Toshiba decides to put one in.) Located on top of the screen is a 1.3-megapixel webcam for video chatting, and a fingerprint reader (sans Trusted Platform Module) is wedged between the mouse buttons. The stereo speakers are loud; they sound better than either the Apple MacBook's dual speakers or the single speaker on the Dell Vostro 1310.
Most mainstream laptops have already moved to Intel's latest Penryn technology, and the U405-S2830 is no exception. It runs on a 2.1-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 processor, which can also be found on the Sony VAIO VGN-FZ485U and the Fujitsu LifeBook A6120. The U405's SYSMark 2007 Preview Overall score surpasses those of the Sony and Fujitsu laptops by 8 percent and 5 percent, respectively. The system couldn't, however, overtake the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Penryn) and the ASUS M50Sa-A1, which have Core 2 Duo T9000 series processors. The U405-S2830's 3GB of RAM enabled it to match the MacBook Pro on our Photoshop tests. Since there's no option for discrete graphics, as there is on the Dell Vostro 1310, you'll have to settle for light game play with the U405-S2830's integrated graphics chipset. The system managed 3 hours 3 minutes on the MobileMark 2007 test, which may not seem like much but is reasonable for a 52-Wh, six-cell battery. A high-capacity, nine-cell battery, available for an extra $150, is good to have as a spare.
The Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830 focuses on two things that especially matter to today's consumers when they're shopping for a new laptop: looks and price. Its "Fusion" design, combined with the elegant use of LED lights, is guaranteed to draw some appreciative glances, and Toshiba packs in the latest technology and up-to-date features that few can complain about at a reasonable price. Though it's not the lightest laptop with a 13-inch screen, the combination of a fresh new look and affordability makes this Satellite worthy of strong consideration.
Check out the Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830's test scores.

Still working on conceptualizing my podcast and video series but I thought why not share some of my favorite music or what I'm digging these days media-wise. My palette for art and music is fairly eclectic so check the Media section if you need some inspiration. And support the artists when financially possible. Life without art is the equivalent of eating rice cakes in prison: stale, sad and lonely.
I've been listening to Noname for awhile. It's one of the few contemporary albums I can listen to in its entirety. It's honest, groovy and sultry. (contains some explicit language)

Benjamin Button Preview Clip
The final release of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, upcoming movie directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, is nearing. So, preview clips of Benjamin Button are popping up to tease us till the day.
Here below two Benjamin Button clips:
Doctor: Queenie, some creatures aren't meant to survive...
Queenie (Taraji P. Henson): You are still a child of God!
Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett will for sure amaze us with their performances. But here I want to highlight the great acting of Taraji P. Henson who is incredible in her role as Queenie!
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is going to be a very special movie: it is definitely a hymn to love and humanity.

(Rev.Greg Wismar)
SCRIPTURES – Jeremiah 20:7-13; Romans6:12-23; Matthew 10:5, 12-23
"Are not two sparrowssold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from yourFather. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore;you are of more value than many sparrows." Matt. 10
Youand I live in a fast-paced world – as we know. Our world is so fast-paced that more and more we are using VERBALSHORTHAND in our communication with one another. Recently I came across a website thatfeatured what it called a CANONICAL ABBREVIATION AND ACRONYM LIST. In column after column it gave examples ofthat VERBAL shorthand that you and I easily recognize. When we want something done in a hurry, weask for it to be completed ASAP – and maybe we hint that ASAP had better bePDQ. When we are at the airport we checkto learn of the ETA of a flight we are waiting for – and hope that the plane isnot MIA or because of bad weather has been diverted to MIA. Our lives are filled with letters that standfor words…MPG, AKA, NIMBY … we know them well. We get a wedding or shower invitation and respond to the RSVP and hopethat the event is not BYOB. The InternetABBREVIATION LIST GOES ON AND ON – AND INCLUDES 1,135 entries! But for today, we shall be focusing on justone – an acronym used in both the medical and law enforcement world … threelittle letters that sum up our sermon theme for today: G O K.
Whena doctor is dealing with an illness for which there seems to be no specificdiagnosis, he or she may well write GOK on the patient's chart. When law enforcement agents are investigatinga case of a missing car or missing cash or a missing person and there are no traces,no clues or no leads, they may well write GOK on the police ledger. And what do those three letters standfor? GOD ONLY KNOWS. When we hear those letters expressed in the contextof a medical case or a police investigation, we may think of them as being kindof negative – an admission of failure … that the disease can't be named andtreated or that the lost item or person may never be located. GOK seems like sort of bad news…but from thevantage point of what Jesus says in our gospel text for today – GOK is reallygood news for us. God Only Knows! God REALLY knows – knows our lives and oursituations and our needs and much more! Thatis good news!
Ingood teaching form used by rabbis in his day – and still used in persuasivespeeches in our time, Jesus argues "from the lesser to the greater." He takes a simple common creature, thesparrow. And gives it worth in the eyes of God…and then He moves on to theworld of people—and applies the comparison to His hearers. BUT…before we go there and follow His logicand His reassuring message, we need to look at the first part of His statement:'Are not two sparrows sold for apenny? And not one of them will fall tothe ground apart from your Father.' What can we conclude from what our Lord is saying here? Simply and yet profoundly, that God lovessparrows…and cares about them. God lovesall of his creation – for, as He created it, He announced that everything was GOOD…verygood! And we read in the Book of Genesis, that the very first task andresponsibility given to people was to care for that creation.
TheBook of Genesis tell us in chapter two that "The Lord God took the man and puthim in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it….the man gave names to alllivestock and to the birds and to every beast of the field…" The care of creation, including the care ofthe sparrows…and bluebirds and robins…has been entrusted by our Gracious God toall of us. The second stanza of oursermon hymn (written by gjw in 2004) reflected that…as we sang "By Your Word You formed creation Filled withcreatures large and small; As we ten that endless treasure, May our careencircle all." The Lord's eye is onthe sparrow – and He would have our eyes be on them as well. As we begin the first full week of summerthis week, may we plan on finding new ways not only to enjoy but to enrich andprotect the handwork of our Creator in the coming summer months. GOD ONLY KNOWS what beneficial things we mayfind ourselves doing to His glory!
GO K God only knows about the life ofeach sparrow – and God Only Knows about our lives and our situations and ourneeds. Sometimes we may find ourselveswondering about that – or even doubting that we are on God's radar screen atall. We may feel distanced from Him or think that the sinfulness of our liveshas made a permanent barrier so that His forgiving love cannot reach us. It is in those times…times of disappointmentor despair about our situation…that the reassuring words of our Lord spoken intoday's Gospel are of the greatest help: 'FEAR NOT, THEREFORE; YOU ARE OF MORE VALUETHAN MANY SPARROWS." Jesus isnot saying that sparrows have no value. Remember – He is arguing from the least to the greatest… and sparrowswere just about the cheapest things for sale in the marketplace in Hisday. "YOUHAVE SO MUCH MORE VALUE – AND HE IS WATCHING LOVINGLY OVER YOU!" Back in my early Sunday School days, sometime ago, we used to sing a little song that I have not seen in print in ages –but I remember it so well:
"God sees the little sparrow fall, it meetsHis tender view;
If God so loves the little birds, Iknow He loves me too."
That theme,in a much updated way is repeated in a contemporary Sunday School song recentlyreleased. Its title: 'JESUS KNOWS ME,THIS I LOVE…" The message isunmistakable – and it never changes – just as God's love never changes – thatlove most fully displayed in the sacrificial death and the wonderfulresurrection of Jesus – that brought about a full reconciliation between Godand people … and made the loving, caring relationship which we enjoy fullypossible!!
GO K … "HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW…AND I KNOW HE WATCHES ME." Perhaps the most famous adaptation of thistext was written just over a century ago, in a Gospel song written 1905 by awoman named Civilla Martin. As we well know, each church song or hymnhas a story—if not two or three. Thestory behind the classic Gospel song "HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW" comes from avisit Mrs. Martin and her husband made to some Christian friends, an elderlycouple by the name of Doolittle in Elmira, New York, in the Spring of1905. Life for the Doolittles was noteasy…the husband was crippled and confined to a wheelchair; his wife had beenbedridden for about twenty years. Theirlives were very limited and very challenging….but they had a wide circle offriends and seemed to be constantly happy and positive. When the visit was coming to its end, Mr.Martin asked the elderly couple what was the secret of their hopeful outlookand their faith in God's goodness. Mrs. Doolittle replied directly: "His eye ison the sparrow…and I know He watches me." Mrs. Martin, who enjoyed writing poetry, took the phrase and made it thecentral line of what became the well-known Gospel song, and had it set to musicby her friend Charles Gabriel. It wasmade famous by the noted Gospel singer of the last century, Ethel Waters. The first stanza begins:
"Why should I feel discouraged, why shouldthe shadows come, Why should me heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He; His eye is on the sparrow,and I know He watches me."
WhenGOD ONLY KNOWS you, life has purpose and direction. Jesus stretches that sense of God's care tothe limit as He says "Even the hairs of your head are all numbered…" The hairs of your head. The feathers on the wings of thesparrow. His loving eye is on everything– and because God is "in control" and lovingly cares about you… your life hasendless possibilities….and is filled with opportunities to share God's amazinggoodness. The refrain of our special(sermon) hymn today really is a prayer that we repeated four times: "Lord,we pray that we Your people, Who Your gifts unnumbered claim Through thesharing of Your blessings May bring glory to Your name." How much sharing can we do? How much glory to God can we bring? What amazing blessings are yet to come by God'sgrace? G O K -- GOD ONLY KNOWS…and thatis very good news for today and every day. In Jesus' Name. AMEN.
