text: Health News from MedPage Today | ACA Supreme Court Ruling Put Off Until ThursdayPrognosticators see three likely outcomes. By Emily P. Walker, MedPage Today WASHINGTON — MONDAY, June 25, 2012 (MedPage Today) — The Supreme Court did not issue a decision on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on Monday. The fate of the landmark law will not be known until the court's final session on Thursday. Reporters and court-watchers waited on pins and needles for the ACA decision on Monday morning, but the court issued other rulings instead. Technically, the court could put off the decision until next term, but experts say that is very unlikely. Thursday, the court could rule in one of three ways concerning the individual mandate, which requires everyone to have health insurance: That the individual mandate is constitutional That the individual mandate is unconstitutional, but other components of the law, such as certain insurance market reforms, can stand That the individual mandate violates the U.S. Constitution, and that several other major provisions of the landmark law also must be eliminated because they're too closely linked to the mandate to stand on their own. These include the requirement that insurance companies can't deny coverage based on a preexisting medical condition and that they can't charge more based on a person's health status. The court is also expected to rule on the constitutionality of the law's provision expanding Medicaid. An unlikely possibility: that the court could put off a decision entirely until 2015. Such a decision would be based on a tax law called the Anti-Injunction Act, which prohibits lawsuits until there's been actual harm. In this case, that would be after the individual mandate and other key provisions go into effect in 2014.

I write about energy and environmental issues.
The relentless rise of gasoline prices is likely to encourage many people to pound the pavement this summer to save a buck – or several thousand bucks. Some aspiring pedestrians will fare better than others depending on where they live and work, according to a recently released ranking of the most walkable cities in the United States.
Walk Friendly Communities, an organization devoted to promoting safe walking environments in U.S. cities, recognized the top towns and cities in America according to a wide range of metrics affecting the safety, mobility, access and comfort of the pedestrian lifestyle. These metrics include factors like whether walking is integrated into the city's overall urban planning process, the extent to which parking rules and regulations provide adequate space for pedestrians and local programs for promoting walking.
Here is the list of the top 10:
Seattle, WA
Population: 616,669
Area: 92 square miles
Population density: 6,703 per square mile
Ann Arbor, MI
Population: 114,024
Austin? I can see Santa Barbara, but Austin?
Around U of T maybe you can walk for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. Until they invent an airconditioned walking suit, sorry, Austin will not be walkable.
If you are going to include cities all the way down to those with just 18,000 population such as Decatur, Alabama then there must be somewhere around 1500/1600 cities in the U.S. of that size or larger. How many of these 1500/1600 cities have actually been evaluated for "walkability"?
Where's NYC? I used to walk to work everyday when I lived there. Most folks I know who live there do their food shopping, much of their other shopping, and much of their dining and entertainment via foot, somethng unherad of in most of the country.

Freethinkers will save humanity
I was recently browsing through the book "When God was a Woman" by Merlin Stone. In this book, Stone gives a historical view on how men initially gained control of society and began the journey of suppressing women's rights. Stone explores what life was like in a society which worshiped a female creator and why later male religions fought to suppress that earlier worship. I can't help but wonder how different this world would be if God continued to be a woman instead of becoming a male warrior God who committed atrocities to make Hitler and Saddam's actions pale in comparison.
In a previous blog "Humans owe their long existence to women – not men", Stellar1 addressed the effects of women on the survival of humans:
According to anthropologist Robert Sussman of Washington University and co-author of the 2005 book "Man the Hunted," early humans were more often prey than predators. The article says the evidence is in the "many fossils and skulls containing holes made by big cats and talon marks from raptors."

Gender Equity
Humanity as a whole has struggled with the issue of gender equity in the modern era. Combined with the teachings of the majority of the holy scriptures of today's major religions, progress is slow in coming. Of course, there are nations classed as non-religious or secular nations where women are also viewed as second class citizens. However, I should point out that it is not their lack of religious beliefs driving this belief but more the views and traditions of that particular culture.
Similarly, theism itself does not classes women as second class citizens but the beliefs of specific theist religions. In fact, one can be a theist and believe in gender equity just as one can be an atheist and believe the opposite.
A core value of this blog is that we:
Afford the same access rights, privileges and power to both genders

Who wrote the Bible?
This is a 2 hour video from UK's Channel 4 entitled "Who wrote the Bible?" Since I've only watched the introduction so far, if you finish it before I do, please feel free to post a review.
Apostasy – it's not just for Christians anymore
Reader salahudin has replied to my Harmonization by Omission article with some fascinating perspectives on apostasy. Apparently, there is a small but growing movement among Muslims who seriously question their own faith. As an apostate Muslim from Pakistan, salahudin shares the perspectives of a skeptical freethinker that is a real eye-opener for me. Salahudin is a member and contributor of the blogsite towelianism, which is much like our own agnosticatheism site, but geared toward Islam. Check them out here:
Note how similar the objections to Islam are to the objections to Christianity. Also note how dissimilar it is…

Christian response to the Atheist vs. Christian Debate
Christian Commentary
First let me say that I was disappointed in the documentary. It wasn't nearly long enough and didn't do justice to the event – But on to some thoughts.
Granted, I have a bias (like everyone does) on this issue, and mine happens to be a Christian one. Yet, before any tenets of the arguments were discussed, the first thing I noticed was the anger – and this theme continued throughout the whole documentary. Perhaps they caught the atheists on a rough day, but I have never seen a group of people so consumed by anger. I truly feel bad for them. Unfortunately, this anger led to disrespect. Interestingly, the atheists were the ones sporting the "Holier than thou" attitude as it was evident through their remarks, reactions, and body language. The Christian debaters trumped the atheists in regards to civility.

Gallery 102
Still from "The Gift", 2014, Oil and Acrylic on Mylar, 2 min Looped Animation
Robin Schaefer
April 14 - 25, 2014
Robin Schaefer presented Puncture, the final thesis exhibition of the Gallery 102 spring schedule. This multi-media exhibition opened up an investigation on the analog form of 1960's and 70's 8mm and 16mm film technology. Schaefer's work involves extracting stills from chosen family films in order to create works that draw on the traditional medium of painting combined with the literal and figurative imperfections characteristic of these films. Inherent within this series is the notion that we will continue to look nostalgically at what were once cutting edge forms of technology. As a means to cope with our continuous technological leaps forward, a moment opens up to look at the past and what is becoming obsolete. This exhibition points towards this obsolescence while capturing traces of our cultural past selves.

A Good Speech Is Never Enough
Obama mostly showed the limits of the State of the Union.
As he usually does, President Obama gave a good speech. He hit many of the right notes, whether praising the son of a barkeep turned House speaker or the bravery of an Army Ranger Cory Remsburg. He mentioned a string of laudable policy proposals from re-extending unemployment insurance to pay equity to a solid defense of his landmark health care law and so forth.
Any speech, however, is constrained by its circumstances. It's a common misconception of presidents in general and the bully pulpit in particular that they can, through sheer force of will, alter the course of events, but it's rarely so for presidents and it's never so for speeches. A speech can catalyze a moment and shape the current of events, but a speech alone cannot redirect them. The greatest speeches rise to the full potential context allows – they, and those delivering them, seize their moment.
But not all moments are created equally – sometimes circumstances constrain a speech's grasp regardless of its reach. Regardless of how well the president spoke tonight, he was bound by the circumstances attending his annual report to Congress: a calcified gridlock spurred by an intransigent opposition with election year politics narrowing potential paths of action anyway.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
And despite the pomp and circumstance that surround this annual rite of our democracy, the State of the Union format has its own limitations which augment the bully pulpit's – the laundry list nature of the speech dilutes its power. There have been memorable moments in State of the Union addresses – FDR's "Four Freedoms," JFK's exhortation to the moon, Reagan and Lenny Skutnik for better, George W. Bush's "axis of evil" for worse – but there hasn't been a memorable speech.
None of this is to say that the bully pulpit is completely impotent. As I observed to the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza earlier today, not only did Obama have the attention of more Americans tonight than any politician (himself included) figures to for the rest of 2014, but he laid out a blueprint for the sprawling bureaucracy to follow. But as Chris correctly concluded, the speech's importance is not proportional to its hype.
So it will be with this speech. There are themes and ideas that we'll probably hear more about. No doubt "year of action" will linger for a few days or weeks. And Obama's predilection for executive action in the face of congressional lassitude figures to become a lingering flashpoint – it has the right combination of being a fight both sides are anxious to pick (Obama gets to show swing voters that he's bypassing uncooperative Republicans while the GOP can cry dictatorship to its base) with a press looking for conflict to cover. Hopefully the president will continue to hammer the opportunity theme. It has the double virtue of dovetailing with the notions of responsibility Democrats have to talk about to sell social safety net programs, and also will prompt Republicans to complain about rhetorical theft. But the media will expend more words on the 2014 State of the Union address tonight than it will for the rest of the year.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Republican Party.]
Speaking to reporters on a conference call after Obama and (official) GOP respondent Cathy McMorris Rodgers had finished, Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg said that he'd "be surprised if there isn't some more enduring response coming out of this in coming days." He was armed with an array of dial-test data showing a good response to a strong speech: Obama went from -2 to +27 on the "thermometer" and -1 to +12 on the Affordable Care Act.
Maybe Greenberg is right, but it seems to me that the very best Obama and his team can hope for in terms of a lingering response will be a return to the somewhat more positive public view of him predating the ugly Obamacare roll-out and "keep your doctor" fiasco – that the battle lines be moved a few dozen feet back to where they were before.

Five Features and Improvements for PS3 and PSN
PlayStation Network has come a long way since launch, but it's still missing a few key elements to take the experience to new heights.
Sony's PlayStation Network has improved dramatically since the PlayStation 3 was launched in late 2006. During that time Sony gamers have seen a plethora of excellent features added such as video uploading/editing, in-game XrossMediaBar access, Trophy Support, the launch of PlayStation Home, and the best Netflix integration yet on console. Recently we have witnessed the (surprisingly well received) launch of PS+ as well as that of Hulu's latest Hulu Plus program. To summarize; the formerly bare bones PSN has become a content rich, highly functional, easily understood online entertainment hub.
Despite these vast improvements to which Sony is rightly given much credit, there are still quirks and features that could be improved or added that would significantly heighten the experience of the average PSN user. Read on to see five features/improvements that we feel would help the PSN reach a whole new level of greatness.
5. Trophy "sync" Removal and Faster Trophy Navigation
Checking achievements on Steam, Xbox Live, and even certain iPhone games is a quick, easy affair accomplished with a button press and minor navigation-even in-game. Checking Trophy collections on PS3 is often a chore. Unlike these other platforms, Sony's PS3 needs to "sync" the Trophy collection before they can be viewed. Syncing can take anywhere from a few seconds on a good day to a full minute or more. (It even took so long once that I finally shut off my PS3 in disgust.) Additionally, when checking Trophies in-game the Trophy box, once it finally loads, often requires additional time to load each individual award.
These ridiculous load times devalue Trophies because the user is simply less likely to track them or compare their collection with others', particularly when compared to other online gaming services. Doing so during any type of multi-player game is almost impossible without missing playtime. There is a reason that Achievements on other platforms, particularly Microsoft's Xbox 360, get more attention than Trophies on the PS3; syncing is that reason. Trophies still simply feel tacked on rather than an integral part of the gaming experience.
4. Faster, Full In-Game XMB Presence
Pressing the Home button on your PlayStation 3 controller during a game will bring up the XrossMediaBar and dim the game-screen in the background. Pressing the same again will close the XMB and immediately return you to the title you were playing. Said access is a great feature and no one is complaining about the ability to use the XMB, and therefore many PS3 functions, during game play. The implementation of XMB during a game, however, is what could use some work.
Accessing the XMB while playing a game takes anywhere in the neighborhood of 4 - 8 seconds on average. This is not a huge inconvenience and is not the heart of the problem. The part that needs true improvement is that it takes anywhere from 4 - 8 seconds to access each column of the XMB. Go ahead; try it. Pressing the home button will load the "Game" column within a short time. Pressing left or right to access other columns will then start another 4 - 8 second load. In fact, every time you move columns you will encounter that same gap in time before icons become accessible. In other words, every button press requires additional loading time rendering in game XMB access clunky and slow.
The problem is compounded by the fact that columns can have dozens of still loading icons rendering the user completely lost. Trying to find a certain feature quickly is difficult when every column needs to load and every icon is simply a spinning wheel without a name. When navigating the user often ends up on the wrong icon and therefore resorts to additional slow-loading searches. If Sony would enable the entire XMB to load at once, in game XMB access would be a joy; not a challenge.
3. Bigger System Updates of Lesser Frequency
[image via]
Sony updates PS3 and PSN functionality on a surprisingly regular basis. Unfortunately, many of these are small updates that don't include any improvements for the typical user, focusing instead on things like minor security problems, stability, etc... When a genuinely useful or fun feature is added we love it. Sadly, most updates don't include such improvements. Many of us have, therefore, grown tired of constantly updating for reasons that are often a mystery.
Much preferred is Microsoft's update approach for Xbox 360. Once or twice a year the Xbox 360 receives a massive update that dramatically changes and improves the user experience. These updates often include entire interface and functionality overhauls, as well as a wide range of security and stability enhancements in the background.
The plus side of the Microsoft approach is that updates are typically anticipated by the typical gamer rather than tolerated as on PS3. Please, Sony, give us less updates by lumping them together into a semi-annual event that also brings much-anticipated features and expansions.

Everyone keeps asking and complaining for cross-game chat but I wonder if anyone realizes that the reason that Sony hasn't implemented it is because Microsoft has a patent for cross-game chat features. I'm sure they're working on a way around that, but it takes time and most likely a clever work around so as to not violate that patent. Be patient, hell at this point i'm over that feature. If we get it then great but if not then whatever.

With the start of the new year, large businesses around Bridgewater are continuing to thrive while smaller ones are encountering some limitations, according to Howard Turbowitz, township economic development officer.
"The business environment for large companies is thriving as we continue to emerge from the long protracted recession," he said. "Small businesses, such as the ones in the Martinsville area, still have challenges with the economy, the limited traffic to their neighborhoods and competition from other like companies and businesses."
But, Turbowitz said, that does not mean there are not organizations ready to help.
The Somerset County Business Partnership, Turbowitz said, works with small businesses throughout the area, and the newly created Washington Valley Business Alliance has been formed to aid small businesses and help them grow, particularly in Martinsville.
But despite trying times for smaller corporations, Turbowitz said, there are several businesses and companies opening throughout Bridgewater in the coming months.
First, Turbowitz said, the Somerset Valley Rehab & Nursing is expected to complete its 50,000-square-foot addition to its Route 22 West facility, and Gen III Fox Chase is expected to complete construction of its retail complex on Route 22 East at Milltown Road.
At the Somerset Shopping Center, Turbowitz said, New York & Co. will be taking over the FYE store there.
And the former I-Hop on Route 202 North near Milltown Road will be replaced by the Gallup Chinese Bistro, which is currently under construction.
Turbowitz said there are a few open retail spaces available around town, in addition to a few industrial spaces.
"The specifics of all these commercial vacancies is best delineated by the many commercial real estate firms represented in the area," he said.
Any businesses that want to open Bridgewater, Turbowitz said, can take advantage of working with the zoning office, code official and others to provide guidance.
"The commercial sector continues to evolve in Bridgewater," Turbowitz said. "The township has diversified office space available at a variety of sizes and costs, which are constantly changing."

How does a modern community commemorate the deliverance of its ancestors from the wrath of an evil sycophant in ancient Persa? How does it honor the finesse of a tactful queen in outwitting a palace full of drunken courtiers, and how does it celebrate the higher power of family ties?
In Cranberry, it's done with a bountiful bagel brunch buffet followed by a dramatic re-telling of the biblical Story of Esther, which will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 11 at the Pavilion Café inside thein Cranberry.
The Cranberry Jewish Community Association—which was formed two years ago to foster fellowship and promote cultural events among Cranberry-area Jewish residents—will celebrate its second yearly celebration of Purim.
The festive holiday traditionally begins on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar, which this year starts on the evening of March 7 and lasts until sundown March 8, according to the modern civil calendar.
Brunch at the event will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and feature lox and bagels, blintzes, an omelet station, fresh fruit, hot entrees, desserts, beverages and more. Advance reservation is required. The cost is $20 for adults, $10 for children ages 6 to 12 and $5 for children younger than 5.
Checks should be made payable and mailed to Ruth Ralston at 401 Three Degree Road, Renfrew, PA 16053 by March 5.
Everyone is welcome to share in celebrating the most joyous observance in the Jewish calendar.

Best known as the bassist from Joy Division and New Order. Peter decided to honour the outstanding work of his first band and the undoubted genius of the late Ian Curtis by giving people the opportunity to hear both of Joy Division's masterpiece albums, "Unknown Pleasures" and "Closer", live and in their entirety. Backed by his new band The Light, Hooky first played "Unknown Pleasures" at the Factory club in Manchester on May 2010, before taking the show on the road throughout Europe, Australia/NZ and the United States.

Hello everyone. Did you know we have a great basketball player in our community – a starter in fact – and also a race car driver in the top three of the bomber division?
They attend Midway College.
I have you thinking now, don't I?
It is Jordon Renner. Oh, by the way, her middle name is Nichole. Sorry, Jeff, you get honorable mention. I know Jeff Sr. and Kay are so proud of both of their kids. It is always nice to hear how well someone's children are prospering.
Full Gospel Tabernacle has just installed a new PA system. It sounds great. A lot of hard work went into the installation. Thanks for all the volunteers who helped. Allan already has started with a sit-down lesson on the system. He plans to expand his knowledge on this state-of-the-art system with a few more instructional lessons. He is going to be one heck of a sound man. Thanks, Allan, for putting in all your work to make it the best.
Well, I just had a birthday. For my birthday, my mother bought me a new tractor seat. It actually is on dad's tractor he just bought which I will be using on his farm this year. He purchased an older Ford tractor. Mom knew I had to sit on one of dad's tractors a few years ago that had no cushion. It was just metal. That made for a long, hard day. Thanks, Mom.
I know there are several prayer requests throughout our community and church families as well as one of our special doctors. Remember all those who are going through troubling times. Don't forget to keep Tyler Scrivner in your prayers. He is in Japan now.

WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Unique
I don't like Photoshop effects that make a photo look unreal, unless the effect that the "photographer" is going for is something other than real. I do use it for my photos – specifically curves and levels – to change the contrast, but I try to avoid the bulk of what Photoshop offers me.
I also avoid self-portraits, or, truth be told, any photographs of me. I'd rather be behind the camera than in front of it.
Those two bits of info make this photo unique. I shot this photo of myself, then processed it by layering me on top of the background, then Gaussian blurred the background layer and switched it to black and white. Then I played with the top layer, me, a little be lowering the saturation level. Plus, it's a photo of me.
I got my hair cut today as well, so I figured today was a good day to "shoot myself", as it were.
WordPress Photo Challenge: Illumination
I took this shot at the Taman Sari Bali resort in North-western Bali. I got up hoping for a beautiful sunrise. What I got was this…not what I was looking for, but still kind of pretty. A little illumination from the sliver of sunlight.
WordPress Photo Challenge: Hopes spring eternal
I was texting my wife while my feet were up on my desk in my office at work. She asked me how my day was going. I believe I answered something like, "Craptastic." She asked why and I explained that there had been a snafu regarding thirty of my English 11 exams and that there was a steady stream of other craptacular things happening. She suggested I do something about this, and I answered her, in a text, with the following:
"The past cannot be undone. Only through how we handle the present will we show our true character. Whether we help those in front of us, deal with the situation we are currently facing – these are the things that determine our direction for the future."
And isn't that what hope is? Believing that the outcome of present circumstances will be positive. So don't dwell on the past. Don't spend your day dreaming of the future. Believe that your circumstances will turn out positively and then put your hope into action.
And then? Put your feet up.
WordPress' Photo Challenge this week is "Hope".
WordPress Photo (Friday) Challenge: Texture (that's Near)
Thank you WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge and Photo Friday for picking topics this week that could fit into one photo for me. Wordpress chose "Texture" and Photo Friday chose "Near". I think this works for both. This was shot almost two months ago at the Alexandria Bridge in the Fraser Canyon of BC. I hope you like it.
Path through history: WordPress Photo Challenge
I had the privilege to escort five students to a National Student Leadership Conference last September. The conference was in Quebec, Montreal specifically, but we did a three day tour of Quebec City and Montreal before the conference. I loved "la belle province" and had a great time. It seemed that no matter where I went in the old city of Quebec I ran into history. When the WordPress Photo Challenge came up this week with "Path" this was the first photo I thought of. It's a path laid down by men a couple of centuries ago. A little path to history.
Weekly Photo Challenge, part two: Up (in the air)
When we bought the trampoline last summer, my son was at times curious about it, at times petrified. The most he would do was bounce and only when no one was on with him. This summer he seems to think that he's Dick Grayson (the original Robin in the Batman comics) of the Flying Graysons. He's gone from terrified to a holy terror on the trampoline.
As a kid, I never had a trampoline, so watching my own kids is full of terrifying excitement for me. I'm always curious to see what they'll do next, with my thumbs ever-ready to phone 9-1-1.
Weekly Photo Challenge: UP!
The kids and I had a wonderful weekend, with a lot of activity. This is but one. It's not the most beautiful photo from a technical standpoint, but it's one of the most beautiful photos I've taken because it's my daughter executing a possible broken neck over a sprinkler shooting through a trampoline. Not a great backdrop, nor is it in the best focus, but it's fun.
Oh, and she's UP.
WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Colorful
Easily the most colorful event I've attended within my own country (Canada is colorful, but not like a Guatemalan market) was the Indian wedding earlier this month. It was amazing. The bride, above, was a vision of beauty, but I loved seeing her brothers (? Cousins?) escort her through the temple. The red bandanas marked them as part of the bride's side of the wedding. At my wedding, everyone just sat on one side of the church or the other to denote who they were with.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Sky!
When I've taken photos of the sky, they never turn out the way I'd like them to. I see big, puffy pillows or quilting patterns. My camera sees white streaks on blue. It never quite satisfies.
Sunsets, on the other hand, work beautifully. In fact, because I get to focus on a small area, rather than the entire sky, I can often make the orange sky seem even more beautiful and pervasive. I'm sure that the night I shot this, dusk was settling behind me, with all its blues and purples. But I could cut that stuff out and focus solely on the big orange in front of me. The weekly photo challenge, if you haven't already guessed by the title, is SKY. Check out some of the other bloggers.
It's refreshing to see concern for others (weekly photo challenge)
I don't know who this "Home Boy" is, but it's nice to see that someone's looking out for him. I mean, it could be a personal message from one tagger to another, letting the homeboy know that his bro knows he's lonesome. It could be just an observation by an objective observer of the human condition.
On the other hand, it could be a lonesome home boy crying out to the world, letting everyone who sees this message know that he, the home boy, is lonesome.
I'm not sure what the point was, but someone felt a strong enough concern that the message had to be spray-painted on a wall. I feel encouraged.
WordPress' Weekly Photo Challenge: Worn (out)
These are my son's jeans. They are worn out – in the knees, anyway. My wife, with her wonderful sensibility, has relegated these jeans to only certain jobs, like washing the car, working or playing in the yard, and (maybe) visiting family on the weekend. Definitely not church or school functions.
For me, they bring me back to my style of clothing in twelfth grade. My "uniform" in my grad year was worn-out, torn jeans and offensive t-shirts, somewhat hidden under plaid, flannel shirts. I looked like a refugee from a Nirvana concert. Yup, so cool.
Oh, and this week's photo challenge on WordPress is Worn. Check it out.
Tiny: an interpretation of the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge
Let's get one thing straight, right at the outset: I would never try to kill myself in any kind of stupid way. It's just that I've always been fascinated with semi-trucks, ever since I was a kid. The first one I got to stand next to made me feel so tiny, so when I see one now, it takes me back to my childhood feeling of smallness. That said, I'm now over six feet tall and around two hundred fifty pounds, so feeling small doesn't happen very often.
As I wrote yesterday, I've been taking back and side roads to avoid the highway and its traffic. A couple of days ago, this truck and I were keeping the same pace, so I took out my camera and aimed, blindly (so to speak), out the window and snapped a few photos. I had no idea what any of them would look like. The five year old inside my head loves this photo. It captures everything I love about big trucks and why I felt so small in their presence.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Red
Roses are red (but sometimes not – sometimes they're yellow, white, pink, salmon, and more)
Violets are blue (huh? I thought violet was more purple than blue. Look, I'm slightly color blind and even I know that violets are not blue)
Sugar is sweet (uh…duhr…)
And so are you.
So what have we learned here? If I'm the speaker of the poem, my knowledge of roses is incomplete; I can't tell my colors apart; I am good at pointing out the obvious; I hope that you won't notice the insipid and erroneous nature of everything I've said so far and won't you please love me.
Yeesh…that poem sucks.
WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Wildlife
I chose to interpret this week's challenge loosely. This is the produce of some of our local "wildlife". They produce some of our best underground art and, I'm sure, live some of the more wild lives among our local culture of denial and blissful ignorance.
Ouch. A bit rough on the locals.
Photo Friday and WordPress Photo Challenge, together again
I think it's nice that Photo Friday and the WordPress Photo Challenge can work together so that I have less work to do. Photo Friday's challenge this week is Minimalist and the Photo Challenge from WordPress is One. Here's my photo of a lonely tree standing out against this evening's sunset. I was hoping to catch the sunset proper as it was a gigantic ball of orange on the horizon. Alas, I was thwarted by how quickly the sun sets this far away from the summer solstice.
Oh, and Happy Easter everyone.
Sight line.
I was in Manning Park last night for a Pro-D retreat for my school's staff. It's only an hour and a half away from where I live, but this was the scene to which I awoke this morning. I got up around 6:00 and waited, patiently, for the sun to crest the nearby mountain. I proceeded from one vantage point to another, until I spied this little path through which the rising sun was peeking. The line of sight was such that I kept thinking that if I walked towards the sunlight I might pop out in Narnia.
Check out Photo Friday and The Weekly Photo Challenge on WordPress for today's inspiration.
