Calendar & Events
School budget and facilities will be aired
The Antigo school board will begin work on the 2014-15 budget and receive an update on a consultants study of district facilities on Tuesday.
The board will convene for its regular January session at 7 p.m. in the media tech room at the high school.
The evening will open with the presentation of the 2012-13 audit by Dave Maccoux of Schenck Business Services and then the board will move into a rather busy agenda.
The 2014-15 budget calendar has already been reviewed by the Operations Committee, which is recommending approval by the full board.
The district is projecting a deficit of $319,492modest in comparison to recent yearsand is recommending allocations per building of $120 per pupil at the elementary level; $200 per student at the Middle School; and $225 at the high school.
Administrative budget priorities include updating textbooks and instructional materials, continued technology replacement and upgrades and maintenance projects.
The budget calendar calls for a preliminary presentation to the board in May with tentative approval in June or July.
The board will also receive an update on a facility study being undertaken by representatives of the Cooperative Educational Service Agency No. 10.
The panel hired the group last fall to examine all district buildings and prioritize a list of needed improvements. A final report is expected within several weeks.
In other matters, the board may take action on revisions to policies for filling school board vacancies, a contentious issue since the panel has been attempting, unsuccessfully, for months to fill the ninth school board position.
The changes, being advanced by the Committee on Instruction, establishes an interview process and procedure for voting. Under the proposal, if no candidate receives a majority of votes, the person with the fewest number of votes is eliminated prior to a revote. The process may be repeated until someone receives a majority. If continued voting results in a deadline, a motion to defer the appointment can be made.
In personnel matters, the board is expected to approve two retirements. Carol Koszarek is leaving her position as food service server at the Middle School effective at the end of the current school year. Kathy Solin is retiring as administrative assistant to the director of business services and supervisor of building and grounds effective April 4.
The board will also:
act on a course proposal for the high school dealing with biotechnology and biofuels.
accept proposals for a variety of technology services, including Internet, telephone and wireless, under the federal E-rate program.
purchase 59 laptops and five desktop workstations with computer monitors.
accept the bid for razing and disposal of a district-owned home at 440 Deleglise St.
ink the agreement with the city of Antigo for the use of baseball and softball fields.
accept bids for the air handling unit installation at the Clara R. McKenna Aquatic Center.
act on the resignation of Andrea White as a special education instructional assistant at the high school.
discuss the continuation of board committees.
and consider an extension of the one-year contract with Interim Administrator Dr. Don Childs. He was named to the post in August at an annual salary of $120,000 and hired through June 30, 2014. He has a 41-year career in education.
Following the open meeting the board will reconvene behind closed doors to discuss bargaining base wages. When it returns to public session, the board is scheduled to hold a workshop on board vision and ends policies.

This patch defines and implements the concept of embedding tika metadata into a file stream, the reverse of extraction.
In the tika-core project an interface defining an Embedder and a generic sed ExternalEmbedder implementation meant to be extended or configured are added. These classes are essentially a reverse flow of the existing Parser and ExternalParser classes.
In the tika-parsers project an ExternalEmbedderTest unit test is added which uses the default ExternalEmbedder (calls sed) to embed a value placed in Metadata.DESCRIPTION then verify the operation by parsing the resulting stream.

+1 Ray! I just moved anything that wasn't resolved to 1.4 to make the release process go cleaner
Let's close this one, resolve for 1.3 (go for it!) and then open smaller, focused issues for 1.4 +1
This code is already on trunk.
Can we re-resolve for 1.3 and open new, 'smaller' issues for 1.4 if there are still specific concerns?
- push out to 1.4
- push out to 1.4
@Jukka, I'm new to InterruptedException but from what I've read it seems like it's thrown when a request to stop the thread has been received, not necessarily when something went wrong. So if I understand it correctly, throwing a TikaException would result in the possibility of a behavior where some code asks Tika to stop and Tika blows up with an exception rather than throwing an expected InterruptedException or setting the Thread's interrupt status.
@Nick, TXTParser seems pretty simple already, I'd hate to duplicate work. The code is currently spread out just as you suggest, with ExternalEmbedder in core and ExternalEmbedderTest in parsers.
{{ catch (InterruptedException ignore) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); } }}
Resetting the interrupt status of the thread is a good idea when we can't just re-throw the InterruptedException, but IMHO we should in that case also throw a TikaException to indicate that the requested operation couldn't be completed normally:
... } catch (InterruptedException e) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); throw new TikaException("Interrupted", e); } ...
When the Process.waitFor() call is interrupted we can't just blindly assume that the process completed normally. Explicitly throwing an exception is a better approach in such cases.
Could you maybe add a simple dummy parser for testing with?
Another option is to have the test in the parsers package, even though the main code is in core. We have quite a few examples of that, eg some of the mime magic stuff is tested in parsers because that's where the test files live
According to a few posts on the subject including one on developerWorks [1] it looks like it's more appropriate to reassert the thread's interrupt status with:
... } catch (InterruptedException ignore) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); } ...
rather than refactoring ExternalParser and ExternalEmbedder to re-throw it or wrap in a TikaException.
I too would prefer ExternalEmbedderTest to be in core, but I do feel that we want to confirm the embedding with a known working parser. Would anyone have issue with moving TXTParser and its test into core? There don't seem to be any issues with dependencies when trying it.
[1] http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jtp05236/index.html
- The ExternalEmbedderTest fails in a plain Windows environment since it can't find sed. I added a workaround in revision 1411238 that simply disables the test on Windows.
Great, thanks.
- It would be better if ExternalEmbeddedTest was located in tika-core along with the ExternalEmbedder class itself. The use of TXTParser in the test case seems unnecessary.
- More generally the test case is quite complicated. Is it being reused elsewhere, or can we simplify it? I'd just drop all the extra logging, error handling and flag variables.
The ExternalEmbedderTest is indeed meant to be extended, an example can be found in the tika-exiftool project [1].
The use of TXTParser in the test without that context does seem like overkill, but in general I think we'll want to encourage tests that verify through a relevant parser that the metadata was embedded properly.
The test certainly could be simplified, I kept it on the verbose side since it's introducing a new concept.
- The ExternalEmbedder class also seems quite complicated, though I notice much of it comes from ExternalParser. Can we for example refactor the common bits to a shared base class?
Embedders aren't required to be parsers and vice versa, and since ExternalParser extends AbstractParser we can't have a common base class. Some methods could probably be made static and moved into utils classes though.
- See the ExternalParser class for how you can (and should) use the TemporaryResources class to avoid all the complex cleanup logic. Used properly, the dispose() method takes care of all that.
Yes, I followed the precedence there, but the timing of access and cleanup across the permutations of various streams for outputFromStdOut true or false, input file, output file, stdErr, etc. was a bit trickier than what the ExternalParser has to handle. I'm sure this could be optimized further though.
- It's usually a bad idea to capture InterruptedException and just ignore it. Throwing the exception (possibly wrapped into a TikaException) is probably a better approach.
Yes, copied and pasted from ExternalParser and did not give it proper diligence, my mistake. I'll refactor that and the ExternalParser to wrap in a TikaException which is my approach in most cases.
I'm on holiday for a few weeks soon and not sure I'll be able to make the changes I mentioned before then, but I'll try.
[1] https://github.com/Alfresco/tika-exiftool/blob/master/src/test/java/org/apache/tika/embedder/exiftool/ExiftoolExternalEmbedderTest.java
There's a few problems with the implementation.
- The ExternalEmbedderTest fails in a plain Windows environment since it can't find sed. I added a workaround in revision 1411238 that simply disables the test on Windows.
- It would be better if ExternalEmbeddedTest was located in tika-core along with the ExternalEmbedder class itself. The use of TXTParser in the test case seems unnecessary.

Hi Ray,
thanks for the additional explanations and the new patch. I had indeed been looking at the wrong one before.
At the moment I don't have any additional comments or concerns.
Newer patch with slightly different error handling, better embed test values, and additional Javadoc discussed in the JIRA issue.
Hi Jörg,
Note that the embed.diff file attached to the issue is more current and replaces the previous patch.txt files. I've also changed just a few things since posting embed.diff, primarily around error handling. I'll post another diff soon with Javadoc additions mentioned below.
1) I'm not sure exactly what you mean here. The Parser interface only guarantees a parse method and supported types. It says nothing about requiring the entire content to be extracted by the implementation. The parser interface also makes no specification about how the given input stream must be read or processed, so each implementation can do that however it sees fit. Similarly the Embedder.embed method says nothing about requiring or preventing content from being updated, so if a particular embedder implementation wants to update the content itself I suppose there's no reason it couldn't.
2) This is intentionally somewhat vague (but perhaps too much so) as each embedder may implement this slightly differently, though we should have a suggested approach, and in general I think that approach should favor preserving the source file's metadata unless explicitly specified. I will add some of this to the Javadoc but for your specific questions I think the answers would be:
- Q: Does it always update all metadata in the file, i.e. does it delete properties that are not in the Metadata object?
- A: Embedder implementations should only attempt to update metadata fields present in the given Metadata object
- Q: How are empty properties set?
- A: Embedder implementations should set properties as empty when the corresponding field in the Metadata object is an empty string, i.e. ""
- Q: How do I delete properties?
- A: Embedder implementations should nullify or delete properties corresponding to fields with a null value in the given Metadata object.
- Q: Where does the embedding take place?
- A: That's up to the embedder implementation and particular file format.
- Q: Does the embed method update properties in all metadata containers?
- A: Embedder implementations should set the property corresponding to a particular field in the given Metadata object in all metadata containers whenever possible and appropriate for the file format at the time. If a particular metadata container falls out of use and/or is superseded by another (such as IIC vs XMP for IPTC) it is up to the implementation to decide if and when to cease embedding in the alternate container.
- Q: What happens for properties where the file format specific fields have a fixed length or different encodings?
- A: Embedder implementations should attempt to embed as much of the metadata as accurately as possible. An implementation may choose a strict approach and throw an exception if a value to be embedded exceeds the length allowed or may choose to truncate the value.
For that last one we could consider adding a second embed method to Embedder which also accepts a boolean isStrict parameter which would allow a single implementation to operate in a mode where it would throw exceptions on bad data vs. doing something like truncating. Implementations could always implement that themselves so I'm not sure we need it in the interface.
3 and 5) The client is in control of the output stream as the client is responsible for creating it and passing it to the embed method. The Embedder needs the given input stream to read the source data and writes the final data with metadata embedded to the given output stream. As such, consumers of the embed method are dictating what that output stream is, which will probably be a temp file in most cases, and the client can refrain from an writing to the actual source file in the case of receiving an exception. See the ExternalEmbedderTest for an example of creating a temp file output stream for the embedder to write to.
4) Yes, parser implementations could choose to implement the Embedder interface as well. That was the reason for naming getSupportedEmbedTypes differently than Parser's existing getSupportedTypes method.
If the above doesn't answer your concerns I'm more than happy to flesh things out further.
Hi Ray,
I think it would be great if Tika could also write Metadata back to files and it would be great to start on this rather sooner than later.
But I have a couple of comments regarding your proposed implementation:
1) Right now the Parsers do both content and metadata extraction. The proposed embedder does only Metadata embedding, which is fine because updating of content would be out of scope for Tika.
But if we introduce separate APIs to embed just metadata I think it would make sense to also introduce APIs to only extract metadata. Actually at Adobe we had stop using Tika to retrieve Metadata from specific file formats because it always parses the whole content which is simply too heavy an operation to scale in a larger system.
So I planned to get started on a new API and adjustments to parsers to just retrieve Metadata from files, but did not have time for this, yet. I guess it would make sense to synchronize these two new APIs, right?
Being able to just parse Metadata from files is actually also very important for the embedding of it, which I will explain further down.
2) Your documentation does not really specify in detail the behavior of the metadata update that should happen.
Does it always update all metadata in the file, i.e. does it delete properties that are not in the Metadata object? Or does it only update those properties that are provided in the Metadata object? How do I delete properties then? Do I make the property empty? But empty properties are in most metadata containers a valid property value and should not delete the property.
Where does the embedding take place? A lot of file formats have several metadata containers with similar properties. Does the embed method update all of them? Or just the ones, the parsers were looking at? What happens in case of inconsistencies? Do you read/write from specific fields or do you reconcile all of them together?
What happens for properties where the file format specific fields have a fixed length or different encodings? Do you just write as much as possible and the rest is simply ignored?
For all such questions, you have to think about whether it makes sense to provide the client with the ability to either configure the embedder or provide a callback API for the client to decide if specific scenarios arise or if the embedder should always just do a best guess for the client.
In any such case, it is usually for the client important to get the original metadata from the file, before writing it back, so that no properties are wrongly deleted or changed. But even more so it is important for the Embedder as it would in most cases have to read the metadata anyway, in order to know how to update the file properly. It usually has to check if an in-place update of metadata can happen or if the whole file has to be restructured because the metadata chunks have grown too large to fit where they were before.
That's why I think it would be important to have a get-only-metadata API and Parser capabilities available, before starting writing it back.
3) This also leads me to the topic of error recovery and safe updating of files. I think the documentation should be more clear about what the Embedder will do in case of an error and what is expected by the client.
There are all sorts of reasons the embedding could fail. If that happens, the original file usually ends up being corrupt and lost for the user. So it usually makes sense (for samller files) to do a safe update, which means writing the update in a new file and then swap it with the original one, after the update was successful.
But what about scenarios where a partial update is possible? You often have files where just specific metadata sections are corrupt because some tool did not read the spec and wrote it wrongly. But the rest of the file is still ok, so other parts could still be updated. Do you want to provide a callback API for the client to be able to react to error scenarios and decide what he wants to do? The embedder could do a best guess action, but that is usually quite dangerous for the user's files.
4) I take it that the expectation is that all parsers could also potentially implement the Embedder interface, so that both reading and writing is in one hand? Otherwise you probably end up with all sorts of inconsistencies between the two implementations regarding what metadata fields are read from where and what should be updated when, etc.
5) Why do you pass in an InputStream? That would mean the Embedder has to open up an own OutputStream to be able to write. That would imply that Tika knows how to properly create OutputStreams in the client's environment. Wouldn't it be better to leave the client in control here? And why do you want to return the InputStream?
6) I also agree with Jukka's comments that for such an important new feature we should spend some more thoughts on this. I think your proposal works ok for the external embedder scenario but I am not so sure for other scenarios.
Sorry that I did not speak up earlier. This issue has been around for quite a while.
Attached is a newer patch which:
- Adds an Embedder interface, similar to Parser, which defines getSupportedEmbedTypes and an embed method
- Adds a base ExternalEmbedder implementation of the Embedder interface, similar to ExternalParser, which can call a command line executable, the default being sed, to perform embedding
- Adds a base ExternalEmbedderTest which 'embeds' lines in a text file then uses a TXTParser to verify the expected embedded metadata exists
The embed methods have been refactored to take an output stream argument for writing to as suggested in the past here.
Unless anyone sees an issue with the concepts or approach I'll commit in a few days.
- push to 1.3
- push to 1.3
- push out to 1.2
I think there are many use cases for embedding metadata in addition to extracting, but for us specifically: we're using extensions to Alfresco to enable users to modify or enter new metadata via its web interface which then triggers an Alfresco metadata embedder which will use these tika additions to do the work of actually writing the metadata to the file.
We currently focus on images and embedding IPTC and XMP metadata but I'd envision people would have similar needs embedding things like ID3 in audio, MPEG-7 for video, etc. in all sorts of clients and apps.
I'm sure there are other existing tools but Tika is, quite frankly, pretty sweet, and these 'write' capabilities seem like a perfect fit for tika's existing 'read' features, and the metadata tags and concepts are already present and well organized.
I agree that great care should be taken in implementing this and I've tried to structure things so that they follow precedence set on the parsing side but I'm pretty new to the project.
I'll have a look at refactoring for OutputStream as an argument.
Thanks for taking a look!
I'd like to have a concrete use case for introducing a new concept like this. What exact need are you addressing? Also, are there other existing tools that could be used instead of coming up with a new API. This seems like a pretty significant new feature, so it would be best if we did it right from the beginning.
Design-wise it would be better for the embed() method to write it's results to an OutputStream given as an argument (just like the Parser interface takes a ContentHandler argument). Returning an InputStream brings up all sorts of issues about timing, error reporting, etc.

NORMAN, Okla. — Mack Brown trumpeted his Texas Longhorns on national TV. Planes delivered their message, seemingly from the heavens. They even had a website, 45-35.com. Unfortunately, the Longhorns knew one undeniable fact that prevented them from the Big 12 championship game.
Computers can't read.
Oklahoma actually lost votes in the two human polls after Saturday's 61-41 win at then-11th ranked Oklahoma State but gained enough ground in the six computer polls to leapfrog Texas for second place in Sunday's overall Bowl Championship Series standings. As the highest-ranked team in a three-way tie, according to the Big 12 tiebreaker, Oklahoma (11-1, 7-1 Big 12) wins the South Division and meets BCS No. 20 Missouri (9-3, 5-3) in Saturday's Big 12 championship.
"We're excited to be in this situation," said Bob Stoops, Oklahoma's visibly relieved coach, during a news conference. "I can understand how Texas Tech and Texas feel can't be good. But again, it's your whole body of work through the year and how you play down the stretch.
"I feel the way we've played down the stretch has been pretty incredible."
The human voters didn't think so. Oklahoma's lead in the Harris poll dropped from 21 points ahead of Texas to six points behind. In the USA Today coaches poll, Oklahoma's 42-point lead shriveled to one. However, in the six computer polls, the third element of the BCS formula, Oklahoma jumped Texas from third to first with the Sooners' computer score going from .
"They don't have agendas," Stoops said of computers. "They don't have loyalties. They don't have opinions. They don't have all the biases that everyone else does, and if you say no one else does then I don't think you're really being truthful."
The broiling controversy stemmed from Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech, all 11-1 and 7-1 in league, beating each other. Texas beat Oklahoma 45-35 on a neutral field on Oct. 11, Texas Tech beat Texas 39-33 on Nov. 1, then Oklahoma hammered Tech 65-21 on Nov. 22.
Tech's last-second win over Texas and huge loss at Oklahoma eliminated the Red Raiders in many people's minds. Stoops, who turned down an offer to politic on national TV during Texas' win Thursday over Texas A&M, finally spoke up.
"Everybody wants to talk about head to head; well, then Texas Tech is just as disappointed as Texas is," Stoops said. "Or if you're going to discount them from the game because of how we beat them, then you just said something else as well."
In the end, Oklahoma may have won the South in September. That's when it beat Cincinnati, which went on to win the Big East title, and Texas Christian, ranked 11th in the BCS. Texas beat Florida Atlantic, Texas-El Paso, Arkansas and Rice.
"Going into the last couple of weeks, we knew that a good team was going to be left out of the Big 12 championship. Unfortunately, in this situation, it was us," Texas coach Mack Brown said in a statement. "We don't like it, we don't agree with it or think it's fair, but, like anything else, we'll handle it and move forward."
In 2004, Oklahoma nudged Auburn for a BCS championship berth when the Sooners' nonconference wins were over Bowling Green, Houston and Oregon and Auburn beat Louisiana-Monroe, The Citadel and Louisiana Tech.
"We've always felt scheduling strength mattered," said Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione, who has scheduled future home-and-homes with Florida State, Tennessee, Ohio State and Miami.
Texas, third in the BCS, can still reach the national title game if Oklahoma loses to Missouri or plays so poorly, voters give even more votes to Texas. After all, how did Oklahoma lose ground despite beating a ranked team on the road?
"You couldn't demote Texas Tech without promoting Oklahoma," said Blair Kerkhoff, one of 114 voters in the Harris poll. "Some could. I couldn't. That almost suggests Oklahoma would've been better to beat Tech by seven points. For others, this week when Tech had to escape Baylor, they took themselves out of the conversation and it created a two-team race. Then you have the head-to-head. That's why I put Oklahoma ahead last week and Texas ahead of Oklahoma this week."
In the end, the national college football picture was shaped less on the field than on ballots and computer chips. Even BCS analyst Jerry Palm, a computer proponent, didn't like how it ended.
"I don't think the Big 12 should be resorting to this sort of thing," he said. "It's out of their control, out of the teams' control. It's like pulling names out of a hat. At least when you pull names out of a hat, it's an even shake. Texas Tech had no shot because they lost in November.
"The polls care so much about what you've done lately. If you're the best team, it doesn't matter. If you lose late, you're done."

tip of the point is by studying the slope and tendency of the land near shore. A road that ends at the water probably provides edge cover all the way out. A creek flow means a channel and a fish-important juncture where the creek channel meets the main channel.
The edges of weedbeds are highly productive both because they provide an edge between open areas and cover, but also because of the change in bottom composition or depth that the weed edge indicates. Abrupt changes in water color indicate depth changes and a kind of open trail among upright tree snags tells you exactly where the old stream channel meandered.
Another way to get the "lay of the lake" is to procure a topographical map or a marked fishing map. Because they were once dry, Missouri reservoirs have been well mapped, and it's good evening entertainment to translate a topographical map's squiggles into fish hotspots.
If all else fails, or if you feel like fishing without thinking, just troll the shoreline. It almost always gets deeper the farther out you go. Try different distances from shore until you contact fish or sense that your lures no longer are within a reasonable distance from bottom. What's reasonable? It varies for species, but I like to keep my lures running anywhere from nicking the bottom to three or four feet above it.
Little Extras
My preference to fish near bottom requires me to keep a lure retriever handy. Usually just a chunk of lead with some stiff coils of wire, lure retrievers are pretty simple affairs. When you get snagged and can't get off by yanking or pulling at the lure from different directions, you simply hover above the snag, slip the retriever on your line and let it slide down (it has it's own cord) Let it tangle in the hooks of your lure and then, hopefully, break the lure free. The amount of time I'll work at freeing a lure is directly related to the cost of the lure.
I always keep ready for instant deployment a couple of marker buoys to pinpoint fish locations. To frustrate anglers whose fishing strategy is to flock to other anglers' markers, I'll occasionally toss a dummy buoy that floats away from a hotspot and chuckle while they struggle to fish near it.
Planer boards are another neat trolling accessory. I use them to get my baits away from the boat. I've also used them to walk-troll long shorelines. If the wind is right, I can run a lure 50 to 75 yards out from shore while keeping my feet dry.
How many lines should you run in a boat? The formula I've concocted is: 2 equals 2, while 3 or more equals 1. I can easily run two lures--one on each side of the boat--but if my fishing companions and I let out three lines or more they invariably twist into one. I'm so afraid of this unravelable snarl that I don't dare take a turn, can't dig into the cooler for a soda and have to concentrate like the dickens so that the wind doesn't blow me off course for even a second. Fishing is supposed to be more fun than that, so I usually limit myself running two lines from the boat.
If you feel you must squeeze even more value from your fishing license, you can minimize tangles by combining deep and shallow running lures, long rods and short rods and lures run far back and lures run closer to the boat. Planer boards spread out lines wonderfully but, beware when they tangle--Oh, my!
Take a kid trolling
When you find a type of fishing that's fun, it seems a shame not to share the experience with someone. Trolling is as easy as a boat ride--you don't need a lot of elbow room in the boat and you don't need a lot of expertise. Anyone, even small children, can sit and watch poles and reel in fish.
Trolling is not as easy as that, of course. Sometimes you won't find fish no matter how many nautical miles you log. During those long dry spells, it helps to have a young voice or two to harmonize as you sing, "Trolling! Trolling! Trolling!

Voice Compare » DC Universe » Shadow Thief
Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of Shadow Thief with sound clips and images.
Shadow Thief is a DC Comics Super-villain whose comic book debut was in The Brave and the Bold #36 in July of 1961. Shadow Thief has had more than one alter ego over the years but his original one is Carl Sands and he is known as a recurring for for Hawkman and Hawkgirl (though he does have a bit of history with Batman as well). Shadow Thief has the power to make himself tangible and intangible and can slip through anywhere when he becomes a shadow (though whether if he is a normal guy using a special device or a magical demonic creature differs on the story though the former is more common). Shadow Thief has joined forces with the likes of the Injustice League and the Secret Society of Super Villains and he usually uses his shadowy abilities just to commit crimes by stealing valuables.

The Batman (2004)
EDITOR'S OPINIONToday on the DC Universe VC section we take a look at one of Hawkman's foes... SHADOW THIEF! Let us begin...
James Remar- I was quite impressed by this as James' voice and performance for the role was quite a natural fit. James' performance felt rather sinister and sadistic and even slightly demonic which worked for this take on the role rather well and is a fine example of James' work.
Diedrich Bader- Diedrich's voice for the role was okay (even though it was a bit inconsistent though). But to be fair Diedrich's performance was pretty good as a criminal who is rather smug due to the special equipment he is using for his shadowy abilities so it is a decent example of Diedrich's work.
Overall neither are bad but I am clearly going with James here.

in The potting shed
@Dean and donutsmrs, still no sunshine here, send it over please
I am not happy, I popped out to measure my aquilegia and I found a pot of seedlings had been pulled out of their pot by some wicked bird, do they not realise that they can have the bugs but leave my plants alone
Warm enough to get outside though a bit windy. Can't believe it's taken 2 hours to put down four paving slabs. Clearly I'm not the woman I was when I last did such a job (20 years ago)
Only a couple of dozen to go :- (
It hasn't been as warm to day as yesterday - the weather forecast is for temps of 27 next week
I have been in the greenhouse potting up
Courgettes - Defender,Pinstripe and Nano Verde di Milano
Butternut Squashes - Harrier

@dean.. that is looking great.. very envious of that tunnel.
@debbie.. welcome to the forum..cant wait to see your garden in pictures as it transforms.
@everyone.. hope you are all well and gardens doing great.. i am going to be putting summer bedding plants out and in pots.. as greenhosue is heaving under the amount in there now.. and have to get ready for sowing of seeds at this time of year.
our tomatos are not growing to well this year and our spring onions have not transpired at all.. so fed up with it..
@figrat.. i have heard about growing shallow rooted veg in guttering.. was going to do my spinach and lettuce in some.. it really works then.
i have been watching baby starlings in the garden today.very noisy but adorable with their big eyes.
Started off dull but got brighter this afternoon. Not much to do in the garden for me today since I'm not planting out any tender stuff as the wind is too cold.
I did cover my beets with prunings to keep the birds off though, (they have begun pecking the leaves again), onions are going a treat now, lettuce looks feeble, strawberries are healthy, sweetcorn still under cloches, broad beans are getting leggy, runners and coriander is tucked up on the windowsill until June. Haven't done any brassicas this year since I'm currently soiless in my fourth raised bed.No biggy.
Still landscaping the end part of my garden, lots of digging through the last patch of builders rubble and bindweed.
Watched Chelsea preview show on the telly.
@wintersong.. i am off to watch it in a min..as recorded it earlier.. cant wait..
Oh I forgot about Chelsea I will watch it on iplayer
Went out into the greenhouse today and something has eaten my pepper plant, I've got two growing and both were doing really well. Now I have one good one and the other one has just its stalk left. I've sown somemore though, I will not be beaten. The sun didn't last too long here and the clouds soon arrived. Sounds like good weather for next though wooohooo!!
the garden this morning plus a peony and iris. the dahlias are now at 50%. 14 have sprouted 15 have not but perhaps? total solar eclipse here this afternoon so out in the high desert to watch it.
Gorgeous photos David.
I lost the first lot of my dahlias. A slug got in the green house. Started again and just pricked them out today. Have got them in the conservatory on the windowsill, not a chance of slugs there! (Well, until I plant them out, then will have to be extra careful)
Sun, sun, sun! Glorious here today, 5 (!) loads of washing out and dried today. Sat in the garden sewing today, taking up hubby's work trousers.
Daughter saved the pips from her apple today and insisted on planting them, so I have now got 8 potential apple trees in the GH.
The pumpkin seeds I saved from last years lanterns have just germinated, much to my surprise. We shall wait and see.
Lovely pics David, did you get to see the eclipse?
Figrat, I have never heard of using guttering, brilliant idea. I got to try that!
It's been cracking rocks here in Sunderland. Got a mammoth amount of weeding done and had a barbecue
Hello,all- still under the weather,which is cloudy--wonder if we will see the eclipse. I managed to get the Silver Lace vine into a bigger pot; will have to do until my energy returns. Happy gardening!
Hello everyone. gorgeous pics David.
I got out in garden yesterday for a while.. was a chilly eind but fine for gardening and titivating I h ave seeds to plant today and off to do neighbours garden tomorrow.. it is a total overgrown mess.. but once i get through all the overgrown plants and shrubs i think there is some nice plants in there...just got to find them.
No gardening today since the wind is flipping cold again. Finally have my alliums begining to break and the first of my poppies is opening today. Group two Clematis are all in flower now barring The President which is growing healthy but no sign of flowers yet...it hasn't flowered for a few years
Hostas are looking gorgeous at this time of year, Foxgloves are showing their flower spires now and some other plants such as my Canyon salvias and Convolvulus Cneorum are lagging with all this cold, but at least they are alive.
Inside, my Basil seedlings need pricking out, 3/4 50p bargain plants are making slow but stable progress and the march cuttings I took of Penstemons and Phlox are finally showing roots.

GULP ALERT: Benedictine Altar Arrangement at Church of the Gesu
No. I am not talking about the Church of the Gesu in Rome. That's the mother church of the Jesuit order. I am talking about the starship enterprise, err..., that new church in the campus of the Ateneo de Manila University.
Look at this picture below
You can see that the altar was prepared by Fr. Ofrasio using the Benedictine Altar Arrangement. Notice the seventh candle.
Here is a shot of the sanctuary.
Thanks to a friend and a fellow GULP for sharing the photos.
So, to the members of God's Undercover Liturgical Police...
Say it with me now!
And if I may add. One of the few Jesuits I admire. I hope by now you know why I that word is in bold and italicized.

Guess Who Didn't Spend Father's Day With His Kids?Trix
This dad didn't spend Father's Day with his four kids. Instead he was spotted in Positano, Italy with his mom and his on again, off again girly friend.
Did you guess Balthazar Getty? I thought he and Sienna Miller were split up and he was trying to work it out with Rosetta. He, Rosetta and the kids even went to Disneyland together.
*sigh* I don't know, but I do know these two sure aren't very good at sneaky though.

Beauty Tips to Help Combat Your Allergy FaceCarmen Ordonez
Ah spring! With it comes the beautiful weather and also the dreaded allergy season. But not to worry, here are some of my favorite beauty tips to help you combat your Allergy Face, those annoying beauty challenges like a puffy face, red nose and watery eyes that come along with allergies.
What are some of your favorite tips?
Feel Good 1 of 8The first step when you feel your allergies kicking in is to take an antihistamine like Zyrtec or Benadryl. I always say, you first have to feel good before you can focus on looking good.
Contour a Puffy Face 2 of 8To distract from your Allergy Face, apply a bronzer with brown undertones parallel to your jawline with an angle brush. Make sure it's only one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone as you don't want to overdo it. This will help contour your face to disguise puffiness and give your face a nice glow.
Use a Green Primer to Disguise Redness 3 of 8To disguise any redness, apply a corrector or primer with a green tint followed by your foundation. Green will help offset red.
Distract from Watery Eyes 4 of 8To distract from watery eyes, dab a shimmery eye shadow in white or silver in the inner corner of your eyes. This will help illuminate your eyes and distract from your Allergy Face.
Use Baby Wipes Instead of Tissue Paper 5 of 8To avoid irritating a red nose use baby wipes, instead of tissue paper which is gentler on the skin. And as a new mom I have tons of these around the house.
Use a Navy Mascara to Brighten Eyes 6 of 8To reduce the appearance of watery eyes, apply mascara in navy blue or cobalt instead of black; this will help brighten the whites in your eyes. This is also a good color combination for us Latinas with brown or dark eyes. Be sure to apply several coats of mascara for the full effect.
Drink Watermelon Juice 7 of 8To reduce the appearance of a puffy face, try drinking watermelon juice. Watermelons are a high water content fruit and are an excellent source of antioxidants. This tip was actually passed down from my abuelita and it's one of my favorites!
Use Metal Spoons for Puffy Eyes 8 of 8To help relieve puffiness, place two metal spoons in the refrigerator and then place the back of the spoons on your eyelids for five minutes. I love using metal spoons rather than cucumbers because it stays colder longer!

I realized the other day that I really haven't been as proactive about writing as I need to be lately. I've been telling myself that it is due to a smattering of things – like work, a six month old, helping my hubby with his company…lots of things. And then I read a previous post of my own about blogging. And it said that if you want to have a successful blog, you need to write at least five times a week. And you know what? I was completely right when I wrote that. All of these excuses are just that: excuses. I need to kick my own booty in gear and get back on top of my writing game, yo!
Now I know that a lot of my readers {and my friends} have blogs of their own. And I know that it's very easy to fall prey to letting excuses keep you from writing, too. So with me getting myself back on track, I'm going to help ya'll stay {or get} back on track, too. Because I've got
1. I'm scheduling writing time for myself. I have a friend that is a writer – as in, she's a published author. When she's writing a book, she blocks out time on her calendar that is reserved for writing. Just like when she's working on her day job stuff, that time is just for focusing on her writing. As a mom, I realize that in order to make this work with my schedule I either need to get up earlier than my little man or start writing after he goes to bed. But it IS do-able. I just need to put some action behind my thoughts.
2. I'm keeping my goals in front of me. One of the easiest ways to accomplish something is to never let it slip your mind. Write it on your bathroom mirror {yes, there ARE markers made for that!} or create reminders that randomly pop up on your phone or computer throughout the week. OR you could do what I did: have your hubby install a eight foot by four foot sheet of white board on your office wall {it's like fifteen bucks from Menard's} and keep your goals and to-dos constantly in your face.
3. I'm setting reasonable goals for myself. I realize that my schedule right now doesn't exactly allow me to write fourteen posts a week. But if I can at least crank out one a day, I'll be a super happy camper. Plus my writing – and my blog as a whole – will be much better of because of it.
Tell me in the comments: Have YOU ever found yourself lacking in the blog commitment category? How did you turn it around?

Ha. So I totally left both the post-compiling and my own picture-taking until the last minute. And it's not even the real "holiday rush" yet. Go me!
Anyway, for folks new to this, please check out the Everyday Yoga page for background, nearly current post roundup, and general photo and commenting policies.
Now — lunge pictures!
Laura sent in both a front view and a side view of her low lunge.
Given the constraints of my webcam and rather small room, I only managed a good side shot.
I don't always take the backbendy variation of the pose, but as it's one I've been working into practice of late, it's the variation I've been taking recently.
Laura also submitted a couple of photos of high lunge.
And my own profile-only high lunge.
That's all for this round, though you're highly encouraged to submit a chair pose picture for next time.

News12 First at Five/ Jan. 9, 2014
Augusta, Ga (WRDW)-----Augusta's Mayor race just got a little shorter. Commissioner Joe Jackson tells News12, he will not run for Augusta's top spot anymore.
Jackson says he thought about it and his family needs him more. Jackson tells us he has thrown his full support behind former City Administrator Fred Russell's canidacy for Mayor. Russell is yet to come forward and announce plans to run.
The candidates are not the only thing changing in this year's race. You won't be voting for the Mayor or Commissioners this year in November. Right now you'll be voting for those positions in July.
"It would be in July under the current law. It's anticapted that all the July elections will be moved to May," said Senator Jesse Stone.
Senator Jesse Stone is talking about the Augusta's Mayor race. Senator Stone wrote a letter to the State Attorney General requesting clarity on a law passed by the legislature.
"My letter was one of clarification. I wanted to find out whether the Supreme Court decision impacting the ability of state governments to change elections," said Sen. Stone.
The Attorney General's Office found that Municipal Elections for consolidated governments can be held at the same time as other federal and state primaries.
"This is a tactic to supress votes. They want to turn back the clock and send us back 100 years. We are not going back, we shall not be moved," said Dr. Smith NAACP President.
"I don't think that's the case. I think it will open up local elections to more participation," said Senator Jesse Stone.
The Richmond County Board of Elections is hoping for clarity from the state. Officials say it would cost thousands to hold a Federal primary in May and have a state primary in July. They're hoping leaders will make a decision fast.

Mr President's relocation
After we bought a new fish tank for my daughter's room we decided to place our oldest honorable angel - Mr President there for permanent residence. After his companion had died we tried to get him new friends but he would kill them all.
Then my husband got some tiger barbs - just for the color, without any investigation into their habits. It all was fine, however, and they had established some decent relationships. The barbs grew up quickly and became quite lazy. Mr President looked gloomy but still kept his chin up. Then we read that these species cannot be kept together and relocated Mr President to a new tank.
However my daughter wanted some neons badly. Since we already have neons and cardinals together with angels in our 80 gal we thought they would be fine, Mr President thought differently. I do not know whether he considered them lunch or just was irritated by their rushing around, but he started attacking them ferociously, and we had nothing to do but to return him to his barbs! You should have seen the barbs! They wouldn't wait a sec and the whole batch went after Mr. President's fins in no time! It hadn't happened before!
We had nothing to do but to risk and place Mr President in the 80gal with other angels. He was not aggressive to them, maybe just a little with the smaller ones. He never touched the neons there. He just bit one of the golden gouramis in the lips! :lol: Maybe it was his way of saying 'hello'. He looks happy now. Taking his age into consideration (10 years old), he is a real fighter and we hope to have him for some more years to come! :)
Re: Mr President's relocation
As for the barbs, the fact that they have been separated for quite some time did not allow the angelfish to recognize the angelfish. They have established in your tank and will do all means to attack any long-finned species you put.

'Parks and Recreation' - 'The Pawnee-Eagleton Tip Off Classic' Review
10/4/2013 6:00pm EDT
"…They are our neighbor and they sprained their ankle, and when your neighbor sprains his ankle you help him off the court." –Leslie Knope
Even when that neighbor is the entire town of Eagleton, Indiana, Pawnee's and Leslie Knope's worst enemy. Pawnee and Eagleton's intense and lengthy rivalry has been a magnificent source of comedic material for the show for the past five seasons. Every time we venture into the privileged and entitled town of Eagleton the writers come up with even more hilariously ridiculous examples of the town's wealth and superiority. It is easy to understand why Leslie and the citizens of Pawnee are so hostile to their beautiful, shiny-haired neighbors. "The Pawnee-Eagleton Tip Off Classic" is an episode that benefits from the rivalry built up so diligently by the show and all the time spent on he towns' history pays off wonderfully.
The episode begins with a familiar set-up, introducing the long-standing rivalry between the neighboring towns and giving us some great Eagleton-hate via Leslie: "…" When Eagleton's financial troubles are revealed and Leslie's uncontainable glee and smugness is quite satisfying to watch. For years we have witnessed how arrogant and irritating these people are and it is about time that they get their comeuppance. No one is happier than Leslie, of course, who just cannot resist her self-righteousness. That powerpoint presentation was genius. Leslie's uncharacteristic and irrational hatred for Eagleton and its people is always fun to watch, precisely because of her almost perpetual positive and good-natured demeanor. Also never not funny are Eagleton's ridiculously extravagant expenditures. Bottled water-filled swimming pools, HBO for everybody, Michael Buble on retainer, and Swarovski crystal oranges, yes please. I admit that if I were a resident of Pawnee I would probably be like Tom and publicly voice my disgust for the town while not so secretly wanting to live there. Seriously, brunch every day? When can I move?
Ultimately the rivalry between the towns is suspended (temporarily?) in order for Pawnee to help bail Eagleton out. Yes, the town of Eagleton will be absorbed by Pawnee, which will certainly bring up many issues for the future. If the scene in which the decision is announced is any indicator, it will not be a very peaceful merger. This definitely opens up the series for new conflicts and a new set of recurring characters that we can look forward to get to know.
The B and C stories were sufficiently amusing, I particularly enjoyed Ron's quest to erase himself from the world. Ron's growing sense of paranoia and loss of privacy coupled with Tom and Donna's obsessions with all things social was a great combination. Tom and Donna are one of my favorite pairings on the show (Donna and anyone, really) their chemistry is great and they always bring on the laughs. It wasn't as great as "Treat Yo'Self 2011" but nothing can really top that. Though Tom and Donna's vine was quite good. Ann and April's road trip was fine. As I've said before Ann is not the most interesting character so generally my interest wanes when she is on, but I like her interactions with April (probably because I would also deal with Ann in the most sarcastic and snarky way possible). There wasn't anything exceptionally funny or great in their storyline and while I understand why the writers don't want to ship April off to Bloomington, it is a little disappointing to see April dismiss her opportunity to go to school. While April may be staying in Pawnee, the seeds are planted for Chris and Ann's departure. The writers seem to be handling this transition well, Ann's decision feels true to the character and believable (certainly after her conversation with April).
The episode sets up things in motion that will pay off in the following episodes and will bring new elements to the series. After Leslie finally achieved her dream of serving in public office it was hard to see where the show was going to go, but the writers have deftly sustained the narrative with interesting conflicts. Development like Leslie facing opposition from the town, and now this merger, have kept up the level of interest in the story, along with the great presence of the supporting cast, if the writers keep it up there is a lot of potential for the new season.

The next in a long line of SNL cast members to try their hand at film, Jason Sudeikis is co-starring with Jennifer Aniston for the upcoming Bounty Hunter – which is either about someone who tracks down criminals or a stay-at-home mom who needs some sort of quilted quicker picker-upper. He'll stake his claim amongst the successes (John Belushi, Mike Meyers, Will Ferrell) and the failures (Chris Kattan, Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrll).
Although it looks like the film will mostly be about Jennifer Aniston's and Gerard Butler's characters (one the hunted, the other the huntee), it sounds as if Sudeikis will play a decently-sized supporting role as a co-worker of Aniston's character who runs off after her when she runs off from Butler's character.
This would all be simpler if I just said their character's names. Milo. Casidy. Stewart. Respectively. Now read the sentence again as Casidy, Milo, Stewart, Casidy, Milo. There we go. Far less confusing.
Anyway, this sounds like the stock romantic comedy that we've been really hoping Aniston would branch out and do after all of her meaty dramatic roles. But I'm not one to judge ahead of time. It may be the case that this film is a bit deeper, perhaps a bit more complex and the average…and oh shit, that guy who directed Fool's Gold is directing it.
What do you think? Did you know that the guy who directed Fool's Gold's name is Andy Tennant? Do you know where he lives?

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- The circumstances surrounding Saturday
night's showdown between Florida State and Maryland have a familiar
feel for the Terrapins.
When the Seminoles and Maryland last met at Byrd Stadium, the
Terps needed a victory to keep alive their hopes of playing for the
2008 Atlantic Coast Conference championship. The game was held
under the lights, and Maryland fans were instructed to wear black
as part of a once-a-year "Blackout" promotion reserved for the
most important home matchup of the season.
Final score: Florida State 37, Maryland 3.
The Terrapins were 7-3 overall, 4-2 in the ACC and unbeaten at
home. That's precisely where they stand this year, too, heading
into another "Blackout" game against FSU.
The Seminoles (7-3, 5-2) also need a win to stay in the hunt for
the Atlantic Division title.

Goodness its seems ages since I last actually completed something.
This project is only 2 months over due (whoops) but worth the wait. Way back in August I joined in Miss Curlypops Choose Your Own Bag adventure and today I have a bag that is actually finished and ready for use.
The pattern is the Go Anywhere Bag from Noodlehead. The pattern was clear and easy to understand and I would definitely recommend it.
Im so glad I used the Amy Butler fabric that has been sitting in a box for two years, it wasn't so hard cutting into it after all.
Now I am clearing the decks ready for KCWC next week.

James May
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"He's clearly a blithering idiot."
"I have soiled myself!"
"Oh a cock!"
"This man stole my clothes."
James May (born 4th September 1860) is an eccentric toy collector as well as "the other guy" on motoring show Top Gear. His driving style can be defined as comedically slow, earning him the nickname Captain Slow. Next to Richard Hamster and Jeremy Clarkson, he has been an essential part in the presentation and maintenance of the motoring show Top Gear.
Sometimes nicknamed The Other Guy, James is renowned for his ability to makes snails feel good about themselves by driving supercars at a snail's approximate moving speed. That was a sarcastic comparison - a hundred more of those and I could replace James May as the other guy on Top Gear. But I won't.
Born into a family of eccentric Asian people and he adopted the last name Darcy due to being Irish. He is currently attending Madison meadows Middle school. He Is sitting next to his friends Robert Minnig and His friend Arron Carter and his best friend Houdan Hussein.
Other Shows
James, unhappy with his progress as the other guy in Top Gear, branched out his presenting abilities in a number of other shows, such as James May's 20th Century, a show which remains blissfully unaware that the 20th century ended some time ago; and the one where he collects toys, being blissfully unaware that most people who are watching the show also grew up with the same toys. These minor flaws have earned the shows hefty sections of time on the Dave channel, rather than their intended place on BBC1. Oh, and there was also one where he dissected a shark, apparently. He was also smothered by a tramp beard on BBC2's shooting stars.
Current status
James currently resides in a 3 bedroom flat not an apartment, ye bleedin' yank..., which begs the question; why doesn't he move into a house? Apart from his large stash of engineering porn which has become stuck in his spare room, nothing is stopping him. James mentioned during a BBC interview that he prefers to live in small places, although in the same interview Jeremy Clarkson said it was because James is the other guy. In the same interview, Richard Hammond was questioned, but he couldn't reach the microphone.
"That's not true."
James owns a Ford Fiesta, an ashtray, a Lambouroghini (or Lamborghini, or maybe Lamboroghini? I don't know) Murcielago, a Bellanger-Denhaut 22 twin-engined bomber/reconnaissance flying-boat, a brown horse called Walter, and a Spitfire, all of which he uses to travel to the Top Gear office every morning.
ALSO, the Stig is.....wait for it......Ben Collins, yes everybody knows now, the new one is probably a turtle.

Best Actress
Strong Contenders
While we we're still not quiet certain of the Oscar chances for the experimental "Anna Karenina" (which is not to slight the film), the title role is a doozy no matter how much Joe Wright plays with form, and he's already gotten Keira Knightley one Oscar nomination for "Pride & Prejudice." The actress hasn't got the nod since, but she gets stronger and stronger each time around, and the film's her best showcase in years. In what's looking like a thin year in this category at this point, she might even be the front-runner, unless critics wildly take against the film.
Viola Davis - "Won't Back Down"
Widely expected to win this past weekend for "The Help," Viola Davis lost out to Meryl Streep in "The Iron Lady" in the end. But fortunately, she has another film in the pipeline, albeit one not on many radars yet: Walden Media's inspirational drama "Won't Back Down." Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal play parents who help take over the kids' failing schools. It seems like the kind of "Blind Side"-ish tale that could connect with voters, and Davis losing out this year may help her out next time around. On the down side, it's written and directed by "Beastly" helmer Daniel Barnz, but then, Tate Taylor didn't exactly hurt "The Help" much.
While all the headlines on "Hyde Park On Hudson" lead with Bill Murray playing FDR, Roger Michell's film isn't exactly lacking in acting talent elsewhere. The film centers on Roosevelt's rumored extramarital relationship with his distant cousin, Margaret Stuckley, and it's three-time nominee Laura Linney who has that role, opposite Olivia Williams as Eleanor Roosevelt. Linney's never won, and the film seems to display the kind of tragic, thwarted love that always plays well, but it's conceivable that she could end up going supporting, although our money's on lead for now.
Helen Hunt - "The Surrogate"
Helen Hunt is arguably the Best Actress winner of the last few decades who's had the most disappointing post-Oscar career (on second thoughts, Halle Berry might beat her to that one...) Choices like "Pay It Forward" failed to keep her on the A-list, and she's been barely seen on the big screen in the last few years. But Sundance reviews of "The Surrogate" suggested that Hunt, who plays the forward-thinking sex therapist of the title, might well be heading back to the Oscar stage this year. As with co-star John Hawkes, the frank, explicit material could hurt her more than help her, but that's arguably less of a deal-breaker for an actress than for an actor (see: Berry in "Monster's Ball")...

'Raiders' return to Families friends
June 18, 2013
FORT CARSON, Colo. -- As smoke filled the doorway of the Special Events Center, Families and friends erupted with cheers and applause as their loved ones returned from a deployment to Kuwait, during a welcome home ceremony June 16.
Approximately 290 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division Soldiers returned from a four-month deployment to Kuwait to conduct security cooperation and partnership exercises. This deployment is in accordance with the United States' longstanding bilateral defense cooperation with Kuwait. This partnership promotes security in the region.
The host for the ceremony, Brig. Gen. Michael Bills, deputy commanding general, 4th Inf. Div., said, "welcome home, take charge of your units, steadfast and loyal."
As the ceremony concluded with the singing of the 4th Inf. Div. March and Army Song, Soldiers and Families rushed to each other, embracing.
Ashley Cutler, wife of Spc. Brandon Cutler, motor transport operator, Battery G, 4th Battalion, 42nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st ABCT, 4th Inf. Div., had arrived at the Special Events Center an hour and a half prior to the ceremony.
"I'm super excited about him coming home," said Cutler. "Our plans are just relaxing, and then on leave, we're going to a convention in Indianapolis."
Spc. Robert Varwig, cannon crewmember, Battery A, 4th Bn, 42nd Field Artillery Reg., found his wife, Hanna, and two sons, Tristan and Carter, and embraced them mere seconds after being released from formation.
"I'm just really excited to be home," said Robert Varwig. "There are so many thoughts and feelings going through my head right now; it's hard to describe what's going on right now.
Hanna Varwig echoed her husband's excitement.
"I'm so excited, I've been excited for a long time waiting for this day," said Hanna Varwig. "Once we get out of here, we're going in town, and just spending time together."
