CAPE CORAL, Fla.- The Cape Coral Fire Department and Lee County Animal Services rescued a young cat that was trapped between two South Cape buildings today.
Employees at a chiropractic office heard a cat crying for help.
"We could hear a cat crying from inside the file room," said Kim Kanefke, an employee with Wunderlich Chiropractic at 1402 Lafayette Street. "We figured it must have been outside between the two buildings."
The male cat, estimated at 1-2 years old, was found wedged in the space about three inches wide between 1402 and 1404 Lafayette Street. Employees called Lee County Animal Services. After about 45 minutes of working to free the cat without success, a call was placed to the Fire Department.
Firefighters worked with Animal Services for an additional 20-30 minutes, and was finally able to free the cat. It was suspected the cat may have chased a rodent in between the buildings, but got stuck, and was unable to back up or turn around. It is unknown how long the animal had been trapped, but it was thought it could have been up to 12 hours.
Because of the tight fit, firefighters used a long reaching pike pole, normally used to pull down ceilings in a structural fire, along with the noose used by Animal Services to move the cat forward out into the open. The animal only suffered some scrapes and abrasions from being wedged against the stucco covering of both buildings.
Once the cat was rescued, he was given an identification number and transported to Lee County Animal Services for evaluation and adoption.
For anyone interested in checking on and adopting the cat, his ID is A585602. There are many other dogs and cats that are also available. Anyone interested can call (239) 533-7387 or log on to www.LeeLostPets.com

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - What's the difference between Virginia's museum-like Executive Mansion and a home?
For 29 years, it's been Martin "Tutti" Townes, the official butler to every Virginia first family since Chuck Robb was governor.
Over 200 years, 54 governors have lived in Richmond's gubernatorial residence. Townes has been almost family for the past eight.
His actual family has even deeper roots to the Executive Mansion. His mother, Doris Townes Fleming, was the mansion's cook when she met and married his stepfather, William Fleming. His wife, Stephanie, is the former mansion maid.
The 51-year-old Townes counts Sept. 11, 2001, and its terrorist attacks as his toughest day's work. Among his brightest was Jan. 14, 1990, when he welcomed home Doug Wilder as America's first elected black governor.

DENVER (AP) — The Denver school system is reportedly stuck paying millions of dollars in extra interest and fees because of a pension financing deal U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet recommended while he served as schools superintendent.
The New York Times reported Friday that the deal has cost Denver at least an extra $25 million so far, although that amount could decline depending on future market conditions. The school system would like to renegotiate the deal, the Times said, but it would cost $81 million in bank termination fees, which is about 19 percent of the district's $420 million payroll.
Both Bennet and Thomas Boasberg, the current superintendent, disputed the Times report, which came in the closing days of a fierce Democratic primary battle between Bennet and former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff. Boasberg said the deal has given the district $20 million in net savings, which is less than originally hoped but still enough to avoid teacher layoffs seen elsewhere.
Bennet, at the beginning of a 24-hour campaign sprint across the state, blasted the report at a rally with letter carriers and teachers in Denver.
"The premise (of the report) is wrong. The deal has been very good for DPS," Bennet said.
It wasn't clear what affect the story would have on the contest because Colorado's primary is mostly mail-in, and voters have been returning ballots for the last three weeks.
The financing deal was arranged to cover a $400 million gap in the school system's pension fund. The Denver school board unanimously approved it in 2008.
The complex transaction aimed to save the district millions of dollars in annual debt costs. But, much like an adjustable-rate mortgage, the deal's interest rate was subject to change depending on market conditions, the Times reported.
The district offered pension certificates with a derivative attached, which carried a lower interest rate than a simpler transaction would have at the time. But as the mortgage crisis grew and investors' appetite for debt disappeared, the school system was on the hook to pay more.
School board members told the Times that Bennet and Boasberg persuaded them to approve the plan. The $20 million in savings the pair touted didn't take into account hefty termination fees that come with such complex deals, the Times said.
Boasberg, however, said the $20 million was a net savings that did account for the fees and interest. Had it not been for the economic downturn, he said the district would have saved about $40 million. He declined to say whether the district was actively trying to get out of the deal.
In March, three school board members, including Andrea Merida, a Romanoff supporter, raised questions about the deal after reading about similar deals across the country. At the time, Boasberg told The Denver Post he thought the query was politically motivated.
Merida was paid as a field organizer for Romanoff in May and June but didn't work for the campaign at the time. On Friday, she said neither Romanoff nor her support for him influenced her concern about the deal.
"Our focus has always been, 'Now that we're in the deal, what do we do now?'" said Merida, who joined the board in November 2009.
The Los Angeles City Council told officials to renegotiate such deals in March. Some school districts in Pennsylvania have also unwound such arrangements and the state's auditor general, Jack Wagner, issued a statement in February urging others to join them.
Merida questioned the school board's reliance on advice from one of the banks participating in the deal. She also thinks board members may have relied on Bennet and Boasberg's financial experience rather than seeking outside help.
"I think they thought they were getting two-for-one," she said.
Former school board member Jill Conrad defended the deal she voted for.
"The fact remains that this transaction has positioned DPS, its employees, and most of all its students to be better off in the long run that they would have been if we had not taken action," she said in a written statement.
Henry Roman, head of the Denver Classroom Teacher's Association and a Romanoff supporter, said the consequences of the deal, and whether teachers will lose their jobs as a result, is unclear.
"I think it's something that needs to be investigated and looked at very closely," said Roman, whose union represents about 4,500 teachers. "There's no good information about the cost, the different costs that we will have because of the moving target" of the interest rate, he said.
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, a Democrat who appointed Bennet as superintendent and is now running for governor, declined to comment.

Imperilled democracy
Senegal can be saved from incumbent president Wade's machinations if the opposition puts up a united front in the presidential election
- Image Credit: Gulf News Archive
- Abdoulaye Wade, Senegalese President
The future of one of Africa's oldest democracies is at stake in Senegal's presidential election on February 26. The incumbent, Abdoulaye Wade, formerly a leading advocate for democracy, has, at almost 90 years old, become its gravedigger.
Wade has been tinkering with Senegal's constitution in dangerous ways ever since he was inaugurated in 2000. Of the 15 changes Wade made to the constitution, 10 weakened democracy; the others were erratic, if not bizarre.
For example, Wade at one point abolished Senegal's senate, only to reinstate it after realising that it could be put to use as a place to reward political allies. Likewise, he reduced the length of presidential terms from seven years to five, but later restored it to seven.
In February 2007, Wade was re-elected as Senegal's president amid opposition charges that the election had not been free and fair. As a result, the opposition boycotted the June 2007 parliamentary elections. That was a mistake, because the boycott gave Wade absolute control over the legislature, as well as the ability to appoint Constitutional Court judges unimpeded.
Last June, Wade attempted what would have amounted to a constitutional coup. The most recent credible opinion poll in Senegal, conducted the previous year, had indicated that Wade would receive only 27 per cent of the vote in the next presidential election. Given the existing constitution's provision for a mandatory run-off if no candidate wins 50 per cent, Wade would almost certainly lose if the opposition parties united behind a single candidate.
Wade, recognising this, tried to have the National Assembly amend the Constitution in his favour once again. Any candidate who won a plurality and at least 25 per cent of the popular vote in the first round would win the presidency. No run-off would be necessary.
Military takeover
Thanks to massive demonstrations, in which many popular artists played a role, Wade backed off. It is now impossible for him to abolish a presidential runoff. But Wade is trying other tricks.
His followers have circulated fake polls suggesting that he would win in the first round with 53 per cent — clear evidence that Wade's clan does not seriously envisage any scenario other than a first-round victory.
Indeed, if Senegal were like Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s, the military probably would have taken over already in the guise of saviour of public order. Fortunately, Senegal, like India, is one of the few countries born after the Second World War never to have had a military takeover.
Senegalese democracy can still be saved. If the opposition parties keep their promise to unite behind whichever opposition candidate receives the most votes in the first round, Wade will most likely lose in the run-off.
Moreover, the opposition's chances of benefiting from a free and fair election will be enhanced, owing to greater external scrutiny of the election than there was in 2007, when no international electoral observers were present.
Indeed, a strong team of election monitors from the European Union is already on the ground. But massive international media attention, as well as Senegalese citizens' vigilance, will be necessary to avoid sophisticated vote-rigging and violence.
If the opposition defeats Wade, Senegal's most vital democratic institutions could be rapidly reinvigorated. The opposition would participate in, and almost certainly win, the June 2012 general election, and all of the opposition candidates have agreed that, whichever one of them wins the presidential election, the country's super-presidential constitution should be overhauled.
Eventually, with a strengthened legislature and a more constrained presidency, the Constitutional Court, too, would begin to change. In that case, Senegal's slide towards authoritarianism would be reversed, and its legacy of democracy redeemed.

Dec 21, 2010
Mozilla is slowly marching towards a general release of Firefox 4. Today, the non-profit launched the 8th beta version of its flagship browser. As expected, after 8 betas, there aren't any major new features in this latest version (though Mozilla promises to add a "do not track" feature before the final release). Instead, Mozilla is now focussing on fit and finish. In today's new version, the focus is on making it easier to set up Firefox Sync and the new look and feel for the add-ons manager. The new version also offers improved support for WebGL for 3D graphic visualizations on the Web.
5 Reasons Why You Should Give Opera 11 a Try
Dec 16, 2010
Opera just released the 11th version of its desktop browser for Mac, Windows, FreeBSD and Linux. For a while, Opera was just an also-ran as Firefox and Chrome battled for the speed crown and market share in the browser business. Over the last year or so, however, Opera staged quite a comeback in the desktop arena and version 11 is the current culmination of this work. Here are the top 5 new features that make Opera 11 worth another look.

About Vanessa Bates
Vanessa Bates started her career as a graphic designer and illustrator but gravitated towards fine art as her experimentation in color drifted outside the gamut possible with traditional printing techniques. Early illustration lessons still influences Vanessa�s art as each work has a simple focus and careful use of color and light to further direct attention to the subject of the piece.
Working almost exclusively in acrylic, Vanessa believes that the canvas is where the true color mixing begins. The colors on her palette are therefore loosely folded together before being applied. The subject matter itself is often chosen for humor, expressed either as visual irony or lighthearted observation. It�s the sincerest hope that any of the artist�s views, whether they are inspired by the political or otherwise, be apparent only to those who have an interest in that subject. Otherwise, the piece should stand on its own as an enjoyable composition. To be so cut and dry with the the subject would mean that the work would fall firmly in the class of illustration.

15 things Apple could buy with its $137B cash reserve
Summary: Apple has $137.1 billion in cash, but more than two-thirds of it remains off-shore and outside of the U.S. taxman's reach. What could Apple spend all that cash on? We've got some suggestions.
8 of 16Image
Buy Morocco, Cuba, or a small European country
The problem Apple has is that most of its cash offshore—68 percent, to be specific—and out of the U.S. taxman's hands. It can't repatriate its cash or the company will face massive tax bills.
One of the best solutions for Apple is to buy a small country—based on gross domestic product (GDP)—so it can bring in its cash from all corners of the world at a zero-percent tax rate.
Apple could buy country with a GDP of less than $137.1 billion, at least in theory (not including costs to build an iArmy to invade the place). It could make a bid for Morocco, Cuba, or even Luxembourg—a known tax haven—or a small European country like Latvia, and still have some cash left over to give everyone in the country an iPhone.
Buy a private island
Private islands don't actually cost that much anymore. Any medium-level multi-millionaire could probably snap up one for just a fraction of their overall worth. Actually making the place habitable, however, is something else, let alone turning the island from "Lost" into a popular tourist destination for morally bankrupt folk who seek a place in the purgatoric sun.
According to one private island broker, the average going price for a private island in the Caribbean appears to be in the region of $3.5 million to about $47 million, give or take ten million or so.
Or, if you look at the country's gross domestic product (GDP), Apple could buy the Cook Islands (get it? Tim Cook… oh, forget it) for a meager $183.2 million.
Give every U.S. student an iPad (or two... or five)
There are roughly 49.8 million students in K-12 education in the U.S., with an additional 21.6 million students at college, according to the U.S. Dept. of Education.
Apple could, with its $137.1 billion cash pile, give every single K-12 and college student, an iPad—literally any iPad, including the top-of-the-range iPad (128GB, Wi-Fi + Cellular) with Retina display at $929.
But it doesn't just stop there. Apple could in fact give every single K-12 and college student two of the most expensive iPads on offer. If it were the cheapest Apple tablet—the iPad mini (16GB, Wi-Fi only) at $329, those 71.4 million students could be given five iPad mini tablets in total, and Apple would still have a few billion dollars left in the bank.

Exercising futility
Well, hello there you few poor stragglers. It's been awhile, I know. Every time I come back to Blogger, I have renewed intentions of writing more consistently. You'll note, it's been mostly a biannual exercise in futility. Facebook and Twitter are terrible for writing stamina, encouraging shorter blurbs and pithy remarks rather than content and reflection. I am hopeful of a better run this time, though. I am renewing my intentions to practice what I preach when it comes to writing. Although the nature of the beast here is certainly more informal and conversational than academic writing, it's a way to limber up before the heavy lifting, so to speak.
I have finally completed my second license in ESL, and am merely waiting for the state to sign off on the new license, or cash the check, whichever comes first. This means I am currently finished with graduate classes, at least for the time being. I may eventually decide to complete an entire MS vs. the licensure only option, but I need a break. Wrapping up meant a couple of weeks of student teaching in the "new" content area, so just about the time summer started, I was back to work again. When I finished that, I wrapped up all the paper- and portfolio work, and lo and behold, it was July.
I had a couple of weeks scrambling to work on a Shakespeare project, then began slowly heading back to my classroom to get organized and ready for the upcoming school year, which begins the day after Labor Day. I needed a bit of a head start as we are now less than two weeks (Holy crap, did I just say less than two weeks? I did. ACK!) from our two-week trip abroad to Scotland and Holland.
Last time we went, we spent much of the trip telling each other, "Next time, we have to bring the kids." We weren't expecting "next time" to be quite so soon, but Karlijn, our second Little Dutch Girl, is getting married, and we wanted to be there. As we hemmed and hawed over costs and possible itineraries, we noted that her wedding year coincides with Scotland Homecoming, a promotion which occurs every five years, and that the coinciding Clan Macdougall gathering (iPastor's maternal clan) is the weekend before her wedding. A quick search found it was actually slightly LESS expensive to fly into Glasgow and back out of Amsterdam than a round trip. I'm sure it was a serendipitous glitch in fares, which bounce unabashedly, but we're completely taking advantage of it. And yes, this time, we are taking the kids, plus Thing 2's boyfriend, who's been around for five years and totally counts as family at this point. So, we will spend a week in the area near Oban, Scotland, then fly to Amsterdam and spend much of our time near Utrecht, Netherlands. Then we will come home and immediately get caught up in the festivities surrounding the wedding of iPastor's stepbrother.
This format feels much like a letter to distant but fondly-remembered friends, which it very much is in many cases. I will do my best to write more often and post pictures from the trip.

Happy New Year!
Rather than "resolutions," a friend posted a New Year's "Bucket List." I like how her bucket list items were very specific, and completely attainable. My ideas are still more ephemeral, and less specific. I haven't had the time to sit down with myself and formulate such concrete ideas, but I will start here and keep working at it. Putting these out here for accountability and support.
More reading for pleasure.
Lately it seems I only read for class, or inane crap on the internet. While there's plenty of delightful entertainment out there, there's also plenty of timesuck. I do also read articles on subjects that interest me, but I feel my patience for long-form literature waning with each bite-sized blurb. I need to rebuild stamina.
More writing for pleasure.
Again, research papers, case studies, lesson plans: blech. I want to write for fun. Or deep philosophic introspection. Right.
More active interaction with my kids.
We are actually making an effort to at least gather together with our various devices and distractions. It's actually a very pleasant way to pass time. I do not, however, want it to be the only way we spend time together, and that will require actually putting forth an effort.
I will try some sort of outdoor winter activity.
I HATE WINTER. I resent being trapped inside and I abhor the dark and bitter cold. I want to combat this by trying something I can enjoy outside in the snow. Perhaps snowshoeing or cross-country ski. We have paths nearby, and it's way less expensive and smelly than snowmobiling or ice fishing.
Send more postal mail.
I have done this in the past, and miss it when I don't. Also ties in with the writing.
More date nights/weekends/events.
We've been thinking about this, and got a couple in. Need to prioritize it and not let it fall by the wayside.
Thoroughly explore the possibility of a practicum abroad.
I need to put in 45 hours student teaching ESL somewhere. Why not overseas?
Start a Bitstrip chronicle of my life
I need to get going on some of these and get out of the chair. Hope everyone has a blessed 2014!

Summertime, and the living is crazy...
The waning days of summer have arrived, just in time for the heat to return. Uck. Also, iPastor is having some terrible neck pain, so if you're of the praying sort, put in a good word for him. He had a tough day yesterday, and couldn't get settled in well at bedtime. Subsequently, I slept fitfully, if at all, and finally got up and switched to the daybed in the library about 2:15. We have some trees that need trimming, apparently, because the branches squeaking on the windows infiltrated my dreams, making them...weird, to say the least. I was fretful, knowing iPastor had a 10am PT appointment, and I didn't want to oversleep if he was too sore to drive. I didn't have to worry overmuch, because by 5 am I was awakened by spatting cats, and iPastor stumbled back down at 5:30. I shambled about in a sleep-deprived daze most of the morning, and we ran some errands. When we got home, I made sure the kids weren't starving to death and planned a late lunch. I wandered up for a brief nap about 12:15, and once again didn't have to worry about oversleeping, because one of the Things decided they waited long enough for lunch and woke me with a text at 12:45. After that was said and done, I puttered around a bit, took another stab at a nap and failed, which just meant I was still tired and crabby, plus I didn't accomplish much anything of use, either. Wonderful. I trudged down to make smoothies, and dropped my slacks down the laundry chute on the way by, as I noticed a spot on them. If a gal can't run a blender in her underwear in her own kitchen, what's this world coming to, after all? I pulverized fruit and yogurt with the noise of a thousand chainsaws, according to Thing 4. I headed back to find new pants and go fetch my veggie share. I walked out of the kitchen to find every. kid. in. the. stinking. neighborhood. in. my. foyer. I don't know if the old lady underwear or slamming door shocked them most. So far, the rest of the evening has been uneventful, and I have to believe it can only get better from there. It was almost enough to make me look forward to going back to school. Almost.

I went to a conference in Washington, DC, last month. I absolutely loved it. It was a good conference; a nice blend of USEFUL information and camaraderie, with enough free time woven in to check out some sights and spend a little time with a BFF. One of the highlights for me, however, was just being in the city. Not even a particularly big one, compared to Boston or New York with skyscrapers, but a busy, humming, diverse place with functional public transit (God bless it!) and choices. So many choices! In the two blocks around my hotel I could choose from a dozen different ethnic foods and a variety of shops (the Baskin Robbins store smelled really funky, though, so we opted for the frozen margaritas next door.) I love cities. I don't know if I'm cut out to live there full time, but I find a visit rejuvenating. I love the diversity.
In the boondocks we have limited choices, and the closest regional shopping towns are 45 miles east and south, respectively. Yesterday, I was forced to make the trek for a routine, work-related lab test that couldn't possibly have been done locally. As I drove home, though, I caught myself noticing, then made a concentrated effort to notice, the scenery around me. I often hear folks complain of rural scenery: one field after another, with only a road every mile to break it up. That's not what I saw, though. I saw fields of corn, soybeans, alfalfa, sugar beets, hay, oats, stubble and freshly turned earth, all different textures, colors and heights. I saw the ditches filled with cattails, brown-eyed Susan, thistles, broadleaves and grasses too numerous to keep track of. Red sumac, silver maple, weeping birch, evergreens and other trees filled windbreaks and groves with a cacophony of color. Tidy little farmhouses with well-tended gardens and yard art alternated with sprawling, ramshackle farms with bikes, trampolines, pools, lazing dogs, and machinery scattered about. Here and there a burned or abandoned farm haunted the landscape, with its own particular beauty painted in charcoal colors. We do, indeed, have diversity in the countryside, it's just of a different sort. Though perhaps this brand of diversity is not as impactful on lifestyle, its essential to living.

Around here, you may frequently hear my husband or I refer to a task or an outing as "going fishing." One may quizzically ask what we mean, only to receive a rambling reply along the lines of, "well, we read this book once (well, actually we listened to it on tape) where the author, it was Lewis Grizzard or Robert Fulghum or someone like that, talks about going fishing but first he has all these chores to do and it ends up being more work than its worth, and it was really funny, you should read it..." By the time we eventually trail off, the poor questioner is sorry he asked and the whole ordeal reeks of "guess you had to be there." Twenty years ago, I worked at a piecework factory that had a library of books on tape to listen to at work, so I wasn't able to remember the author. I tried occasional google searches, but to no avail. Tonight I read an article about a photographer named McManus, and a little switch in my brain slammed shut, and the connection was made. A quick google later, and I am happy to share with you this link to "Sequences," by Patrick McManus.
Ok, so you have to copy/paste the link into your browser navbar, go to the page, then scroll down and click the hyperlink to "Sequences," but its totally worth it.
I promise.
I guess you had to be there...

Bob Dylan Ain't Talkin' Lyrics
Last updated: 11/11/2013 11:21:35 AM
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Past the mystic garden and wounded flowers on the vine,
Thinkin' 'bout that girl I left on my mind;
When a pine cone hit me from behind,
Then, a squirrel dropped his nut on my head,
When he was making his bed.
Ain't talkin', just walkin' through
This woeful weary world trying to forget you.
Heart burnin', still yearnin' for a good song to sing
That would bring relief to my body and soul
So no one on earth would ever know
How much I loved her so.
Faith in prayer has power to heal a heart of despair
But I keep looking for her, Mama,
And she's not there.
So what do I do now, I don't know how
To get away from remembering her pretty face,
And smile, that time doesn't erase.
Ain't talkin', just walkin',
I'm worn down by weeping;
At the top of the mountain, snow is steeping.
I'm having trouble sleeping,
If I go back to the city, they'll be peeking
To see if I'm free from the chains of love
That are tormenting me.
Ain't talkin', just walkin' and thinkin'
Well, the whole world is filled with speculation,
To distract you from peaceful contemplation.
The only hope for an artist's sanity,
Is to walk and talk with the Lord who sees
Beyond how it appears to be...
Oh, sweet Jesus deliver me.
They try to crush you and rush you to wealth,
Not caring about what happens to your health.
Calling it 'show business' as if that makes it right,
As they shove you through the cold dark night,
And you fight for your time out of mind,
Just to go into a nothing box that doesn't even rhyme;
Then, the Lord reminds you of a bible verse,
That you have faith to believe to receive,
And delivers you from the curse before it gets worse;
...Paths of victory t become so clear
When peace that passes understanding is here
That you're happy to be alive,
To give life another dive.
With faith in the Lord to help me find
The woman He's destined to be mine,
It's just a matter of time….
I don't need another squirrel to drop a nut on my head,
'Cause I've got hope for my future to be better than my past,
It's not too late for God to choose my help mate, at last.
*Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want (means lack) her mate: For my mouth it has commanded, and his spirit, it has gathered them. Two are better than one, for they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again if two lie together, then, they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not easily broken. (the third person is the Lord) Isaiah 34:16, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ......Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. Proverbs 18:22 ...."It is not good for man to be alone......Genesis

Glory Cloud Revelation | Reviewer: Glory Cloud Revelation | 2/22/13
This song is a little too sad for me....may I express what I feel in poetry,
Oh, I got a song in my soul that's bursting to go
Into the atmosphere of sorrow to give hope for a new tomorrow,
It's birthed from silent meditation about what sometimes looks like a forsaken nation;
May the strength of song in this dark night rise above the ocean's rough tide,
May God Almighty be our guide, and bring us to a safe place to hide in contemplation
With intercession for a lost nation...
Oh, let's hold on to the Mercy Seat, washed in Blood, and ly at Jesus's feet.
America, America! Come back to our founding father's way....
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson prayed.
Somehow it's been taken away, today...the right for school children to pray...
I hear the little ones screaming in the stores,
The sweet litte darlings, aren't aware there are angels for protecting them there.
A broken lonely heart cries out in anger and frustration,
Oh, my LORD, heal our nation!
Give our people eyes to see beyond what it appears to be.
Instead of struggling aimlessly, may they be a walkin' and talkin' with THEE
I'm a walkin' not talkin to any one but THEE, and the peace I feel is so real,
Reminds me, I'm just a pilgrim passing through, there's a much better place
To travel to, into the arms of a loving SAVIOUR face to Face.
Oh, come along with me and sing, sing, sing to the King!
Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness,
Just praise the Lord, and He'll straighten out this mess..
P.S. We love you. It's all right if you don't consider this a review. I could sum up my
review of Ain't Talkin' in two words, "It's too sad". I couldn't find a happy ending in
between the lines so I made one up as an example....we need hope for our future,
too many hopeless people, so I put my hope in GOD. I hope others will too. I'm happier that way. How about you? Oh, by the way, someone from here, helped me at Facebook
today. Thankyou very much.

Did you read the introduction, it was for a review of Ain't Talk'n, Desolation Row (from
Cinderella) Reviewed By Chaplain Marilyn was similar and someone accepted it. Could
you e-mail it back to me if you don't want it. Thanks. I'll just save it with my other
poems in a drawer like Emily Dickenson did.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. - Pain is big business and legitimate pain clinics are out there to help people who live with pain. But illegitimate clinics - operating on the edge of the law - are causing pain and creating addicts by recklessly prescribing powerful, highly addictive drugs.
At southwest Florida addiction services more and more people are being treated for drug addictions to medications they got with a prescription from pain clinics.
Those clinics are popping up all the time. Ads for retired doctors to run the clinics are even finding their way to Craigslist.
Right now anyone - even a convicted felon can own a pain clinic. But that's about to change and law enforcement says it's about time. A new law takes affect later this year will allow only a physician to open a pain clinic.
There is even a plan to track prescriptions. the effort is to stop people from doctor shopping - going from clinic to clinic getting multiple prescriptions for the same symptom.

I seriously cannot say enough great things about Morgan. She was more than we ever could have asked for a wedding photographer. Multiple people told us that she was the best wedding photographer they'd ever seen. Her attitude during the wedding and all the posed pictures made everyone feel completely and totally at ease. I would have given her 5 stars even BEFORE we received the pictures, but seeing as how that happened this past weekend, I will be contacting Wedding Wire to ask if it is possible to give a review higher than 5 stars. The pictures are simply incredible - beautiful, professional and exactly capturing the moments and spirit of our wedding. All that being said, I would have paid WAY more than what she charges - her cost is VERY reasonable. Including travel, Morgan was still less expensive than many local photographers. She is worth every penny and more, and I cannot recommend her services enough.

We are absolutely elated with our choice to have Morgan as our wedding photographer. The instant we met her, we felt she was an old friend, and you could tell she was truly excited to be a part of our special day. She gave us just the right amount of direction (and encouragement) to help us feel at ease in front of the camera while also allowing our authentic interactions to be present. She was also great at organizing our bridal party and families, making portraits an easy, quick, and fun process. Morgan really stands apart in her ability to not only capture the big moments of the day, but she captures the entire feel of the whole day and the emotions of everyone involved. Going through the photos Morgan took for us has allowed us to relive our wedding day over and over, and we truly couldn't be happier with her work. Wedding photos last forever, and finding a photographer is one of the most important planning tasks- do yourself a favor and hire Morgan! She is truly the best.

Morgan's style is a cross between artistic, classic and romantic and our suite (rehearsal dinner, getting ready, family, first look, ceremony, dinner, reception) of wedding photos from her exceeded all of my expectations.
We received our photos only three weeks after our wedding and a huge quantity of photos too.
I knew that I liked Morgan's style from her blog and portfolio but I couldn't believe how amazing her style transformed and documented our own wedding. Our wedding photos are better than I ever though they could or would be. We had rain and fog the entire day of the wedding and it didn't affect any of the photos and Morgan was even able to pull some great looks from the weather too.
Morgan also has a really calm and sweet personality/temperament which made everyone feel comfortable throughout the weekend.
I cannot begin to describe how beyond satisfied with Morgan as a vendor and 100% recommend her to any bride or client.

I really cannot recommend Morgan Trinker Photography highly enough! Trust me, you'll be doing yourself a huge favor by hiring her.
I was initially very impressed by the gorgeous work on her website, and after I contacted her, I was absolutely thrilled to find she was available to shoot my wedding. Morgan is immensely talented, but she's also a very sweet person, super-organized, and very hard-working. She shot both our engagement session and wedding, and she made us feel completely comfortable on both days. I had total trust in her and didn't have to worry about the photography at all. She captured everything so beautifully and thoroughly, and the resulting photos were completely gorgeous. Everyone raved about our photos and her creativity!
Her website is also a blessing to brides trying to plan their big day. I used the sample timeline on her site to plan out my wedding-day schedule, and it worked wonderfully, so that was a lovely added bonus.
Please don't hesitate to hire her. You'll be so glad you did! I know it was one of the best wedding decisions we made.

Morgan was absolutely wonderful! She is professional and extremely talented! She was very accommodating, she was quick with responses to any questions I had (before and after services), and she is just a delight to be around. All of our wedding guests just gushed over how friendly she was. Then, when our photos were avaliable, we all gushed over the beautiful images she had provided us with. I cannot say enough good things about Morgan and what an incrdeible job she does! I would highly recommend Morgan Trinker Photography!

From the moment I stumbled across her website, I knew immediately that Morgan Trinker was THE ONE to capture the special moments of the most important day of my life! After reading her blog and admiring all of her photographs, it was obvious that she had a fun, quirky and outgoing personality that would mesh perfectly with mine. By the time I met with her in person, I felt like I had known her my whole life! Throughout our engagement, my husband and I spent quite a bit of time speaking to Morgan over the phone, meeting with her in coffee shops, and asking her silly questions via email. She very quickly became our friend and not just our photographer. Morgan went over and beyond what we ever imagined and the pictures she took left us speechless. Our friends and family were in awe of her work and commented that they had never seen such amazing, creative and unique photography. People are completely floored when they view the gorgeous wedding albums she designed for us. I can honestly say that the look, layout and quality are unsurpassed. My husband and I can't thank Morgan enough for playing such a huge role in our wedding and providing us with HUNDREDS of digital photographs and two beautiful wedding albums that we will surely cherish forever!

Morgan Trinker is pretty popular where I reside in Memphis, Tennessee. I heard about her in one of those moments with my dearest friend when she raved that I simply must review this marvelous photographer's work. After seeing her blog, I rambled on to my fiance about how we must be kindred spirits and she simply had to be our photographer. We share a common love for turquoise, photography, mostly everything vintage and Kate Spade. The deciding factor, however, was that she is a ginger. Yes, I have always secretly desired red hair, and I find red heads to be simply individual. I didn't realize it until I read her blog, but the common interests I share with Morgan are what made me feel most comfortable choosing her to be my photographer. If we love the same things, where could she go wrong? I absolutely adored the outcome of our engagement session at The Orpheum Theatre, and the way our special day turned out. Here's to great art that will adorn the walls of my home for a lifetime!

Morgan Trinker was the FIRST and absolute best decision we made about our wedding, and it was worth it 1000 times over!!! Morgan has an artistic eye, is super easy to work with, and has this amazing ability to fit right into the day seamlessly while nailing every. single. shot. Morgan goes above and beyond to make you feel completely at ease, and she was the one vendor I didn't bat an eye about what she was doing. She traveled from Birmingham to Frankfort, KY to shoot our distillery wedding and didn't even flinch when it began to absolutely monsoon right before our first look and portraits! She picked an amazing spot for pictures, brought a fabulous umbrella, and even the photos she took of the outrageous downpour are gorgeous! There is not one moment of our wedding that we do not have a photograph to relive. Brides, grooms, mothers, etc. Stop your search now and hire Morgan Trinker...seriously, you'll thank me later.

Morgan was such a delight to work with as our wedding photographer- before, day of, and after. She kept in contact throughout the planning process and made sure she had everything she needed from us for the day of- even cute questionnaires to get to know us more and capture our day with our personalities in mind! It was really hot on our wedding day- 105 actually. Morgan made sure things ran smoothly and quickly while she got the shots of the bridal party and family outside without forfeiting quality. I had so many people- family and bridal party- say how wonderful it was to work with her. She got our images to us really quickly as well. We have friends who got married in January who will still waiting on their pictures when we had gotten ours. I would highly recommend Morgan Trinker as a photographer.

Look no further brides....no matter WHERE you live, you've FOUND the best photographer around in Morgan Trinker. Yes, she's charming, sweet and the most adorable thing this side of the Mason Dixon. Yes, she's a total blast to work with and her professionalism is beyond anything I've experienced in my 15 years in the industry. But most important of is all is that HER WORK IS PERFECTION. Living in Los Angeles, I scoured the state and beyond looking for someone who wouldn't give me cheap shots at an outrageous price. No such luck...that is until I came across Morgan's site. She's more than a photographer, she takes the simplest moments and makes them beautifully captured life long memories. Your wedding day is filled with a million different things happening all at once and if it wasn't for Morgan, I might've never known of all the wonderful moments I missed since she captured everything so perfectly. From hereditary gestures of my relatives, our dogs running a muck, to the intimate moments between my husband and I in our first dance, Morgan has an innate ability to see beyond her lens and capture the incredible moments with one shutter click. Her prices are beyond reasonable, even with her being in Alabama it was still cheaper to fly her out than it was to book a local photographer with less than half her talent. As with most tight budgets, you have to make a few sacrifies and in our case it was the videographer that was scrapped. I was a little sad about it, even at the wedding, but once I saw Morgan's photos and all of the amazing moments she was able to catch throughout the day instantly made me forget why I even wanted a video to begin with. Seriously, she's THAT GOOD! Morgan is 100% worth every penny and makes you feel so at ease with her coverage that it's practically worry free. And to a bride on her wedding day, one less thing to worry about is pure bliss. Book her TODAY!!!!! :)

Morgan was so relaxed and comfortable around everyone in my family, she put us all at ease. I didn't even feel awkward being photographed up close like I usually do! And then the pictures came - I have never loved looking a set of pictures so much in my life. The natural shots of things that I didn't even see are so priceless. The day of the wedding, and still now five weeks later, she is the only vendor that never for a moment caused me any stress. Best decision I made in regards to wedding planning!

A few have even said that they were the best they have seen in a long time!

Hire Morgan Trinker right now! That's the best wedding planning advice I can give. She was one of my very favorite parts of the whole wedding experience. I fell in love with her photographs from her website and then fell in love with the pictures she took and moments she captured on my own wedding day. She is incredibly professional, responding to e-mails with lightening quickness, but at the same time she is warm and friendly and easygoing, making you comfortable around her and comfortable in the pictures she takes. She is an artist and comes up with creative and thoughtful ways to preserve moments in her photography. I had high expectations when we hired Morgan to photograph our wedding and she most assuredly surpassed them. Hire Morgan Trinker!
