Meet Our Pastor
Tom Luitwieler grew up in Southern California, and graduated from high school in 1970. It was in 1980 that someone gave Tom one of Pastor Chuck Smith's books on Bible Prophecy called "End Times". He devoured the book in one evening and immediately knew that it was the truth, and that he needed to have Jesus Christ in his life.
It was then that Tom began to sense his need for Jesus Christ, but there was only one problem, he did not know what to say to Sandie, (the woman he was living with), they were not married, and he knew it was wrong.
What he did not know was that Sandie's sister and her sister's husband (who were Christians), and lived across the street from Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa had been praying for them. They would pray for them and when the opportunity presented itself, would share the Lord with them.

Calvary Chapel has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are not a denominational fellowship, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only their over emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the body of Christ.
We Believe that the only true basis for Christian fellowship is God's (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves as Christians.
We Believe worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.
We Believe worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore we give a great place to music in our worship.
We Believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore our services are designed with great emphasis upon teaching the Word of God so He can instruct us how He wants to be worshipped.
We Believe worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation of that fruit.

I have a rather complex server setup consisting of a reverse SSH tunnel through a Linux VPS.
Namely, server A is a Mac Mini and runs a script which reverse tunnels to the VPS, which we'll call B. Accessing the services is done by using the hostname of the VPS (B), where the ports are forwarded to the Mini (A).
On A, the script looks like:
ssh -gnN -R *:80:localhost:80 -R *:XX:localhost:XX ...other_forwards... root@hostname_of_B
This allows ports on B (for example 80 as shown) to forward into the server.
I have many such ports configured, and most recently I attempted to set up SMB sharing by forwarding TCP ports 139 and 445. Unfortunately, this doesn't work.
I verified that on the internal network I can directly connect to A using SMB. But if I try to connect through B, my client says "the server may not exist or is unavailable...". I see no errors on the remote tunnel script or in the system log on server A, and similarly I don't see any errors on server B when trying to connect, so I'm not sure where to look for problems.

Nov. 11, 2012
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa women's basketball team shot free throws and saved its legs Sunday while advancing to the semifinals of the Preseason WNIT with a 74-64 victory against Illinois State on Mediacom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
The Hawkeyes (2-0 overall) made 32 of 41 free throws and led by 22 points (72-50) with 3:20 left in the game. Twelve Hawkeyes saw action, and nine played at least 15 minutes.
Perhaps the best news of the afternoon came in the form of a postgame announcement: Iowa will host Middle Tennessee State on Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. (CT).
"Any time you play at your home court, it's an advantage," UI head coach Lisa Bluder said. "We want to get as comfortable as possible, playing on our home court, and not having to travel. Just saving our legs this time of year is nice not having to travel. It's fun that we get to play on our home court and share this with our fans."
UI senior center Morgan Johnson played 30 minutes against Illinois State, scoring 24 points on 12-of-13 shooting from the line. She grabbed nine rebounds with five blocked shots and made 12 consecutive free throws. Junior guard Theairra Taylor posted her first career double-double with 11 rebounds and 10 points. She handed out a team-high five assists.
Ball distribution was an area that pleased Bluder.
Illinois State (1-1) finished with six more field goals than the Hawkeyes (25 to 19), but Iowa thrived from the line, compliments of 27 Redbird fouls. Nine Hawkeyes shot free throws, with Samantha Logic (4-of-4), Melissa Dixon (2-of-2), and Claire Till (2-of-2) turning in perfect efforts.
"We shot free throws better tonight than we did against Northern Illinois, and it's a good thing, because we were there so many times," Bluder said. "It was a game where there were so many fouls called that I don't think any team could get in the thick of things, so it became a free throw shooting contest, and we're a good free throw shooting team."
Iowa was 6-of-10 from the line in a season-opening 63-40 win against Northern Illinois on Nov. 9.
The Hawkeyes advance to the Preseason WNIT semifinals despite getting one point in 15 minutes from all-conference performer Jaime Printy, and a six-point, six-turnover effort from Logic. Logic pulled down five rebounds and handed out four assists with two steals.
The physical style wasn't beneficial to Printy, who is returning from ACL repair and an aggravated hamstring.
"She took a couple of lumps out there, took some bumps; it shook her up a little bit," Bluder said of Printy. "She will bounce back Wednesday, I know that about Jaime. I feel like I've got to go with what she does in practice instead of one game, and I feel like she is doing great in practice. I feel like she's going to be fine for us in the long run."
Iowa shot 35.2 percent from the field (19-of-54) and held an edge in rebounding of six (50 to 44). The Hawkeyes blocked 10 shots -- five by Johnson, who is now four away from the school record in that category.
Illinois State was led by Jamie Russell with 30 points, 12 rebounds and eight steals. She is a transfer from the University of Wisconsin.
Middle Tennessee State defeated Kennesaw State, 87-45, on Friday and Memphis, 82-68, on Sunday.
"Middle Tennessee is obviously going to be a tough opponent for us," Bluder said. "They were in the NCAA Tournament last year, they have a good team, and I'm glad to have them on our home court."

Lián xiézi shǔnxī shí, nǐ de yùnqìle ~ Li Peiru
"Last year, I was alone in Beiijing ~ Nearly frozen." As usual, she sang Happy Birthday or Shēngrì kuàilè to herself. She had no money, and despite some business things she did, nothing at all came from that due to reasons unbeknownst to her. Abandoned by friends who could not care less, and who even fought against her for other unknown reasons, and as if left to die, Fang and Fang alone helped her out, and slowly she began to help him out as well. The injured pair began to try to heal and help each other. Huīfù hé bāngzhù hǎishìshānméng. Even on the first night he rescued her from sure trouble, he gave her a loving piggyback ride at the Chinese city where they live downtown. A magical moment, the wonderment of rows of Christmas trees shine on down the block, the stores lit up so bright, and two people who met at a karaoke place smile. The kiss kiss fish float upon a soft aquarium water ruǎnshuǐ shuǐzú guǎn and as he puffs his first cigarette of the evening at home later, upon a moment of solitude, Fang makes a decision through a difficult manifesto. After all, the physical head injury he once acquired while in the line of duty as a police man sometimes makes it hard for him to think. After speaking with Yao Ming though, and later during directing some traffic at work on another day, a woman, the same woman he once just helped greets him. "What's your name? I remember you." "Nǐ jiào shénme míngzì? Wǒ jìde nǐ." The off duty cop who once went above and beyond the call of duty to lay her upon her pillow at home asleep, who protected, who truly watched over a distressed lady considers her now.
"You two go ahead. I cannot sing this song. Nǐmen liǎng gè jìxù. Wǒ bù huì chàng zhè shǒu gē," he explains. At another place another man admits this. And yet all does not mean lost even though she had asked one other man to buy a home for her later that same night. And later a few real friends who hang out a small rock cafe' chat about home town things like Tiazin and of the village Mentougan and of a friend, Zhentang. "Get a wife, she'll take care of both of you," "Nǐ zhǎo yīgè qīzi, tā huì dài nǐmen liǎ de zhàogù."the rock guitar player who sings an American rock song with the simple form of the Chinese language ~ The song which seems to echo off of the pastel painted electric guitars which hang on the walls. Later although Fang has to eventually leave his job as a policeman due to the increased trouble with his prior physical injury, the fact that his marriage to Shu Qi now helps him out transforms as a blessing as the two work together to now care for each other. Sadly, before the end of the film, Fang ends up hospitalized with the progression of the head injury. However, when his wife Li Peiru (Shu Qi) faints upon finding the condition of her husband while she stands at his bedside, she wakes up to find that her upset fánnǎo condition and her love Ài for him the very thing that does heal him. The two wake up with her resolve and he brand new. Despite some of the things that had happened along the way, the two end up married and live happily ever after.
To summarize, the film about a police man named Fang, a Chinese man who lives in China, he falls head over heels in love tóu zhuì rù àihé with Li Peiru (Shu Qi, a Chinese woman there after he rescues her from a rather industrious evening out from the singing place. Before this, the girl did not know why she stumbled over her own two spiked red high heel feet. As if to provide some kind of meaning to life, even she said as the quote above reveals, "Even the shoes suck when you are out of luck." "Jíshǐ xiézi xī dāng nǐ shì chū yú yùnqì. "The poor girl thought she had been in one relationship with a man, only to find that a sham and a facade. But when Officer Fang of a now new and A Beautiful Life Andrew Lau directed and produced (2011) romance film, written by Theresa Tang comes to her rescue during his off duty hours her whole life actually does change. For the better.

Mod request
I have EAW for the mac. I have some great ideas for a mod for this game. I wanted to make a new GC scenario that includes a lot of brand new units, a new faction and planets.
I'm new to this whole modding scene so I don't know what is possible and what isn't.
New planets
malachor v
nar shadaa
New units
Vader's SSD
Tie interceptor
Mara Jade's Acclamator (Hero unit)
Imperial Escort Frigate
Capital ship escorts
carrack class cruiser
Lancer class frigates
starviper fighters
Imperial Guards recruitable on coruscant
501st vader's fist hero unit (4 platoons) stronger storm trooper units with a special venator class cruiser
Give Emperor his own special ship
MC80 cruiser
Venator cruiser
Moldy Krow (kyle Katarn) Hero
Rebel escort figate
Nebulon B2
All MC cruisers have hangers
Give mon mothma a special ship unit
Princess Leia as hero unit with Tantive VI
Providence-class cruisers
Lucrehulk battleships
Recusant light destroyers
Munificant star frigate.
Add Lando to the game to replace han solo as milennium falcon pilot and make him able to destroy the death star
Make Han solo as general and a elite ground unit
Make Luke skywalker a jedi ground unit and put red squadron as escorts of lando
Make wookie warrior and wookie elite warriors recruitable on Kashyyk only
Make Bothan soldiers recruitable on Bothawui
Make bothan spy recruitable on Bothawui (replaces han solo as unit that isn't detected by enemy space craft.
Mandalorian soldiers, mandalorian elite soldiers, mandalorian commander and mandalore (hero) recruitable on Mandalore and dxun.
New faction New CIS
Super battle droid
Battle droid
Magna guard
Grievous bodyguard
General Grievous (hero) Special command ship
Droid fleet commander
Droid ground commander
Spider droid
Spider walker
Hailfire tank droid
heavy missle platform
Viceroy (leader)
vulture droid
CIS strike bomber
droid tri fighter
Trade federation frigate
CIS capital ship
bx series droid commando
rocket battle droid
AAT tanks
Bio Cannon
Defoliator tank
Flitknot speeder
Ground Armored Tank
Heavy Artillery Gun
IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank
Impeding Assault Tank
Seismic tank
Single Trooper Aerial Platform
Sith Enforcer
Super tank
Tsmeu-6 personal wheel bike
Umbaran hover tank
Mobile heavy cannon
Geonosian elite units recruitable only on Geonosis
can recruit mandalorian units from respectable planets
Change boba fett from empire to CIS
Open to all ideas about units
Make it so all 3 factions compete against each other in 1 GC scenario. All are enemies to each other
Make geonosis home planet for CIS
Change rules so that only way to win is to conquer enemy factions home planet Rebel-Hoth, Empire-coruscant and CIS-Geonosis.
Change indiginous population on onderon to onderonian royal guard on onderon and to mandalorian warriors on mandalore and dxun.
Make it so Onderon's indiginous population is loyal to whoever claims the planet.
Make it so only infantry based units and heroes can be used in dxun land battle.
Make it so only smaller type craft and effectively manuever in space battle on malachor v.
If anyone wants to try to make this mod then I would be very happy, I know mods like this exist out there, but most are buggy and don't work well. As i said before, i have the mac version, so the mod must work with a mac. Also I want all the new units to not be invisible and to have weaknesses and descriptions

I also carry a S&W 642 with 38 spl. +P in my front pocket, with a speed
strip in the other.
Well, unfortunately, right now I carry a few extra pounds, but a little jogging ought to take care of that. As far as a gun, I carry a Glock 32C mostly, but when I need to wear something a bit lighter and need to 'hide' it a bit more, I take my Kahr K40.
Mostly, it's the Glock.
I dont know what its called. I only know the sound it makes when it kills a man
Para LTC
Commander length 1911 45 ACP
I carry a KAHR PM45 in a pocket holster always even in the TX heat wearing shorts and t shirt. When it cools off I add a Glock 19.:smt023
tuning up a ppks due to summer clothing. probobly back to a kimber when the jackets come out.
My Para LTC in a Gould IWB I also have a Bianchi Shoulder holster I use in the more clothing months
I carry my Taurus millennium .45 daily.
For on duty I currently carry my department issued Sig 226. But, I just purchased an HK P2000 LEM V2 in .40 cal to take its place. I also own a HK USP .40, and a Glock 27 in .40 cal.
I'm curious to know the break-down of ppl who are LE vs CCW for everyday carry or off-duty because here in California, the standard caliber is .40. I have been to several gun stores lately and they all say they sell .40 calibers 10 to 1 vs 9mm.
I normally carry a 1911 commander 45ACP but I'm looking into getting a CW9 to carry here shortly for ccw.
Just switched from a 38 revolver to a Smith 4506. Really like the way this weapon shoots, its big bullets, respectable fire power (8+1) and its accuracy. It is a little big and heavy but it is surpisingly easy conceal.
Just bought a PF-9 off my buddy for summer carry, along with my ruger lcp. For winter its gonna be my Taurus PT745, along with the ruger lcp. Lets put it this way im always gonna have the LCP with me all year long :smt023
My usual carry is my Kimber ultra carry 45 ACP or my S&W 442 38spl, if I'm going to be traveling in less than desirable area I may opt for my SiG 220 or my 229 40 S&W. The Ruger LCP is always with me in the pocket. (it's my American Express) :mrgreen: & I Carry Speer Gold Dots in all.
I usually carry a .38 special revolver, hopefully will have new XD9 subcompact to try out soon.
glock 19 or if im going somewhere where i cant open carry i have my j-22 in my pocket
My XD9 svc with either Federal 147gr JHP or WWB 147gr JHP. Adding a Matrix M15X mag carrier from galco to the mix as soon as it arrives. Recently been carrying extra mag in a paddle. That will soon be for sale! Also keep my Surefire 6P LED in a blackhawk carbon fiber flashlight holster. Aker reinforced 1.5" belt.
642 is usually with me.
:mrgreen:XD9 sub compact...or the XD45 service4
AW 340 pd in sc with 38spl+p 100 gr pwr balls
S&w Mp40
I have been carrying amy Sig p250 in 9mm with 124gr HST's. If I feel a need for something bigger i have my XD .45 compact with 10 rounds in and 26 more ready to go, aain 230 grain HST"s. Those bad boys will open up to almost an inch!!!!
My wife is a die hard fan of her S&W m&p .40c. And once again HST's, 180 grain.
I do love my Glock G17 too but thats more for the hunting trips, works well on a jack rabbit!!!!!!!!
I have TN HCP and I carry J-Frames exclusively. Usually a S&W640 or S&W 642 but I occasionally carry a Taurus 85ULBH. (I pocket carry as I am older and can wear suspenders without raising ridicule.) I own larger revolvers and pistols but they are not as practical for carry. I usually use a Disantis Pocket Holster.
Everyday carry I use the Beretta PX4 SC 9MM with one extra 13 rd. mag. When I want to "dress up" in my Sunday best it's my loyal Colt Commander .45 in a Gould & Goodrich paddle holster with two extra 8 rd. mags.
Kimber Ultra Carry II .45 ACP in stainless.. Occasionally a 1917 Colt M1911, and occasionally a Smith and Wesson SW40VE..

Sights and observations from Yountville's Festival of Lights
Last Friday, when many were out looking for amazing deals on Black Friday, we made our way up to Yountville for the kick-off of the annual Festival of Lights. Having not been in years past, we were not quite sure what to expect.
We did know there would be plenty of food, wine and other festivities–and we were certainly not disappointed. The event was very similar in structure to the Taste of Yountville, which happens every Spring, in that local restaurants, wineries and other businesses lined Washington Street in Yountville. You purchase a wine glass and tickets and are then free to roam the streets tasting various dishes and different wines (which cost just a couple tickets).
A few of our favorites included the BBQ pork sliders Bob Hurley of Hurley's was personally serving, the Bouchon salmon rilettes (pictured below), a tomato soup from Bistro Jeanty (especially good as it was quite a cool afternoon/evening), the 2007 Hess Small Block Series Sauvignon Blanc and the 2005 Sequoia Grove Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. That being said, the memory we'll take with us forever was the look on our little one's face when the crowd got quiet and then cheered as the switch was flipped on the holiday lights that immediately lit up the street.
Here are a few photos we took before dark:

Mercyhurst 2, Syracuse 1
ERIE, Pa. – Senior Kaleigh Chippy of the eighth-ranked Mercyhurst University women's hockey team scored two goals to propel the Lakers 2-1 past Syracuse in the College Hockey America semifinals Friday afternoon.
The Lakers advance to the CHA Championship game for the 13th consecutive season on Saturday, March 8 at 3:00 p.m. at the Mercyhurst Ice Center.
Three-time Olympic gold medalist and Mercyhurst Alum Meghan Agosta-Marciano was on hand at the Mercyhurst Ice Center to drop the ceremonial puck drop at the first game of the tournament. Earlier in the day, Agosta-Marciano met with fans and signed autographs for the Mercyhurst and Erie community. She then kicked off the tournament by dropping the ceremonial puck drop.
In playoff fashion, the Lakers skated to a scoreless first period over Syracuse after collecting just six shots on net. Mercyhurst goaltender stopped just three shots on net in the opening period.
One minute into the second period, the Lakers were awarded a power-play opportunity. Junior Shelby Bram took the faceoff to begin two minutes with the Lakers one man advantage. Off the faceoff, senior Kaleigh Chippy skated through traffic in the faceoff circle and took a wrist shot at the hash marks. She beat Orange goaltender Jenesica Drinkwater to the near side corner of the net.
At the 16:16 mark of the middle period, the Orange took advantage of a power-play their own and tied the game at one. Syracuse's Allie LaCombe scored the tying goal after shooting an odd angled shot from the right side of Makela. Melissa Piacentini and Brittney Krebs both were awarded the assists.
Chippy gave Mercyhurst the lead on another power-play goal at the 9:43 mark of the final period. Bram rotated the puck to the point where sophomore J'nai Mahadeo was waiting at the point. Mahadeo then cycled the puck to Chippy at the left side of Drinkwater. Chippy used the screen of an Orange defenseman and lifted the puck just under the shoulder of the goaltender.
All told, Mercyhurst outshot Syracuse 28 to 17 throughout the thirty minutes of play. The Lakers went 2-for-4 on the power-play with the help of Chippy. Mercyhurst allowed just one Orange power-play out of their four chances. Senior Christie Cicero led the team with six shots on net, while Chippy contributed five.
Chippy's game-winner marked her team-leading six game-winning goals this season and tied sophomore Jenna Dingeldein with seven power-play goals on the season. Bram reached a milestone this season, by collecting her 25th assist of the season on Chippy's first goal of the contest.
Goaltender Amanda Makela allowed one goal of 17 shots faced to improve to 21-6-4 on the season. Drinkwater suffered the loss after allowing two goals on 28 shots on net.
The Lakers will face Rochester Institute of Technology for the College Hockey America Championship on Saturday, March 8 at 3:00 p.m. at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. Earlier in the season, went 3-1-0 in the four game regular season series but is 2-0-0 at the MIC.

ERIE, Pa.—The Syracuse ice hockey team's season came to a close in a hard-fought game with No. 8 Mercyhurst in the CHA semifinalson Friday afternoon at Mercyhurst Ice Center. The Lakers came away with a 2-1 victory to keep its perfect attendance in the CHA Championship game.
Allie LaCombe scored Syracuse's only goal to tie the game late in the second period while Kaleigh Chippy scored both of Mercyhurst's goals. This is the first time this season the Orange has lost a game that LaCombe, who scored 11 goals this year, has scored in.
All three goals were scored on the power play, with Syracuse going 1-of-4 and the Lakers going 2-of-4 on man-up chances.
"It was a back and forth, high tempo game," head coach Paul Flanagan said. "My kids have a lot to be proud of. We played tough against a tough team but I give them a ton of credit, they pulled it out. They converted on some power plays and that was the difference."
Jenesica Drinkwater had two 10-save periods for Syracuse in the second and third stanzas. In total she stopped 26 shots and was named the game's third star for her performance.
Neither team held much of an advantage throughout the first 20 minutes and each team was stifled offensively with Mercyhurst edging the Orange 6-3 in shots on net. Syracuse had a good look early in the contest when Akane Hosoyamada found positioning in front of the net but Amanda Makela made the save and play continued.
SU went 1-for-2 on special teams in the first period, killing their penalty but failing to convert while up a skater. While man-down, the Orange didn't allow a single shot Drinkwater's way despite the Lakers getting eight shots off. Two were blocked by Orange defenders and six went wide of the net.
A crosschecking call on Margot Scharfe gave Mercyhurst a man-advantage just 1:09 into the second stanza, which the Lakers converted on almost instantly. Kaleigh Chippy gathered the puck off the faceoff and shot it from the hash mark to give Mercyhurst a 1-0 lead with18:46 remaining.
Melissa Piacentini nearly tied the game mid-way through the period when she caught a puck out of the air on a routine play by Makela, who was trying to clear the puck out of her zone. Piacentini would have beat the goalie back to the net but a Mercyhurst defender hustled back to prevent the score.
Piacentini would not leave the period empty handed, however, as she ultimately assisted on the game-tying goal when she passed the puck to Allie LaCombe, who shoveled it toward the net from the bottom of the circle and managed to net a top-shelf goal on Makela's far side while on the power play.
Jessica Sibley had a chance to gain Syracuse's first lead of the game early in the third period when she fired a laser from just inside the blue line that missed the crossbar by inches. The Lakers had their turn at a near-goal when Jaclyn Arbour batted one in that bounced off the glass but she was called for a high stick and the score remained at 1-1.
Mercyhurst regained its lead with 10:17 left in the game. J'Nai Mahadeo's attempt from the blue line was blocked by Hosoyamada but Chippy collected it and shot it from the top of the circle, which slipped past Drinkwater and the left post before she was able to make the save.
Drinkwater came out of the net for the final 38 seconds to give the Orange an extra skater but it wasn't enough and the Lakers came away with the victory.
Mercyhurst outshot Syracuse 28-17 and edged SU in faceoffs, 25-24 but won 21-16 over the final two periods to keep the puck off Orange sticks.

NoSQL to MySQL with Memcached
By Mat Keep on Apr 12, 2011
The ever increasing performance demands of web-based services has generated significant interest in providing NoSQL access methods to MySQL - enabling users to maintain all of the advantages of their existing relational database infrastructure, while providing blazing fast performance for simple queries, using an API to complement regular SQL access to their data.
The HandlerSocket development at DeNA is a great example of community innovation, with a solution implemented as a custom plug-in and protocol for the MySQL server daemon.
We are hearing the community say they want NotOnly SQL - they want their trusted SQL RDBMS - plus, they want NoSQL techniques to access that data. So, we are previewing our NotOnlySQL solution for MySQL - delivered via memcached - with implementations to access both the InnoDB and MySQL Cluster (NDB) storage engines.
The purpose of this blog is to provide more detail on the Memcached API for MySQL, specifically covering:
- Design rationale
- Implementation
- Getting started
Design Rationale
Using the memcached API, web services can directly access the InnoDB and MySQL Cluster storage engines without transformations to SQL, ensuring low latency and high throughput for read/write queries. Operations such as SQL parsing are eliminated and more of the server's hardware resources (CPU, memory and I/O) are dedicated to servicing the query within the storage engine itself.
Over and above performance, there are a number of additional potential benefits in this approach for both developers and DBAs:
- Preserves investments in memcached infrastructure by re-using existing memcached clients and eliminates the need for application changes.
- Access to the full range of memcached client libraries and platforms, providing maximum deployment flexibility and consistently high performance across all supported environments.
- Extends memcached functionality by integrating persistent, crash-safe, transactional database back-ends offering ACID compliance, rich query support and extensive management and monitoring tools.
- Reduces service disruption caused by cache re-population after an outage (note that buffer pool reloading enhancements planned for a future milestone release will further improve recovery performance by warming the cache)
- Simplifies web infrastructure by compressing the caching and database layers into a single data tier, managed by MySQL.
- Reduces development and administration effort by eliminating the cache invalidation and data consistency checking required to ensure synchronization between the database and cache when updates are committed.
- Eliminates duplication of data between the cache and database, enabling simpler re-use of data across multiple applications, and reducing memory footprint.
- Flexibility to concurrently access the same data set with SQL, allowing complex queries to be run while simultaneously supporting Key-Value operations from memcached.
Of course, the memcached implementations for InnoDB and MySQL Cluster are still in their early phases of development (though MySQL Cluster is more mature at this stage), and so neither is suitable for production deployment. Nonetheless, developers can at least get a taste of what is possible as these features evolve.
The initial memcached API implementations for InnoDB and MySQL Cluster take slightly different approaches, which are discussed below.
Note that both implementations are dependent on memcached 1.6.
Memcached and InnoDB
As illustrated in Figure 1, memcached protocol access for InnoDB is implemented via a memcached daemon plug-in to the mysqld process, with the memcached protocol mapped to the native InnoDB API.
Figure 1: Memcached API Implementation for InnoDB
With the memcached daemon running in the same process space, users get very low latency access to their data while also leveraging the scalability enhancements delivered with InnoDB 1.2 (which has been introduced as part of the MySQL 5.6.2 Development Milestone Release), and a simple deployment and management model. Multiple web / application servers can remotely access the memcached / InnoDB server to get direct access to a shared data set.
Note that in the current InnoDB implementation, updates made by memcached applications are not written to the binlog. Binlogging capability is something that the engineering team plan to add in a future milestone release which would deliver against more of the benefits identified in the "Design Rationale" section above.
With simultaneous SQL access, users can maintain all the advanced functionality offered by InnoDB including support for foreign keys, XA transactions and complex JOIN operations.
Looking forward, the MySQL engineering team plans to develop the same implementation model used by MySQL Cluster with the memcached server running in a separate process space (discussed below). Users can then choose whichever implementation model makes the most sense for their specific use-case.
You can download the code now from http://labs.mysql.com and select the appropriate build:
- Binary: mysql-5.6.2-labs-innodb-memcached-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
- Source: mysql-5.6.2-labs-innodb-memcached.tar.gz
Memcached and MySQL Cluster (NDB)
Like memcached, MySQL Cluster provides a distributed hash table with in-memory performance for caching, which can now be accessed via the simple memcached API.
Figure 2: Memcached API Implementation for MySQL Cluster (NDB)
Unlike the initial InnoDB implementation discussed above, a MySQL Cluster plug-in is installed within the memcached server as an "memcached driver for NDB" which can access the NDB API to directly query the data nodes, as illustrated in the diagram above.
With the memcached server running in a separate process space, a single MySQL Cluster instance can serve multiple memcached applications, and scale-out on demand with transparent auto-sharding, in-memory data and the ability to add nodes on-line to a running cluster, without interruption to service.
Users can also take advantage of 99.999% uptime and high write performance properties of MySQL Cluster to support update-intensive services with extreme availability requirements.
As all updates from memcached applications pass through the NDB API, the binlog injector thread captures and writes events to the binary log for onward replication to slave systems.
As well as having memcached access to MySQL Cluster, users have the additional flexibility of maintaining their own dedicated memcached caching layer for data with the following properties:
- Read-intensive (rarely updated)
- Response-time sensitive
- Does not require persistence
- Simple key-value access patterns
The Memcached API adds another direct NoSQL access method to MySQL Cluster, which already includes C++ (NDB API), Java, JPA, LDAP and HTTP/REST interfaces, all of which can be used concurrently with the SQL interface to serve a broad range of web, telecoms and embedded use-cases handling the simplest to the most complex queries.

You can also read the blog from the engineer who developed this capability and also take a look at his presentation from the O'Reilly MySQL Conference.
You can download the code now from http://labs.mysql.com and select the source build: mysql-cluster-7.2-labs-memcached
Explosions in data volumes and internet penetration rates are driving a seemingly insatiable demand for ever-higher levels of database performance. By directly implementing memcached API support to InnoDB and MySQL Cluster, developers and DBAs can preserve the rich functionality of relational databases and SQL, while also having options to integrate simple and fast access methods provided by the one of the most widely adopted NoSQL protocols.
Let us know what you think of these enhancements directly in comments for each blog. We look forward to working with the community to perfect these new features.

When you hear the word entrepreneur, what kind of image does your mind conjure up? If it's a Mark Zuckerberg look-a-like pouring out HTML code in an Ivy League dorm room, you're probably not alone. But you're not exactly picturing the masses.
At the Kauffman Foundation, we've been dispelling the myth that most entrepreneurs are twenty-something tech wizards for some time. In reality, the highest rate of entrepreneurial activity belongs to the 55- to 64-year-old age group over the past decade. And most high-tech founders are well educated and married with children.
A recent academic article conveyed a consistent message spoken by Australian professor, Andre Spice. The articles states, "According to Spicer, it's important to move away from the idea of someone such as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as the embodiment of a great entrepreneur because 'that's not reality.'" Spicer was quoted as saying, "I think there's a big gap here between the kind of image which we have of the entrepreneur as this sort of heroic young individual guy and the reality, which is kind of often more staid, collective, middle-aged entrepreneurial ventures."
I'm encouraged to see more talk about this misconception because, as it's commonly said in the world of marketing, perception is reality.
If you're wondering why it matters so much, think about it from the Kauffman Foundation perspective. One of our primary undertakings is developing effective programs and informing policy that will best advance entrepreneurship and education. How can we do that without first understanding who the world's entrepreneurs are and what inspires their minds. This kind of research contributes to a broader and more in-depth understanding of what drives innovation and economic growth in an entrepreneurial world.

Using your time wisely is one of the keys to having a stress-free work life. Learning how to effectively manage your time will take practice, it is usually not a natural born talent. Time management is one of the first concepts attempted to be taught in many college entry classes, with students and professionals knowing the consequences of not using time wisely. Time management simply means making a plan and sticking to that plan.
Time Management Strategies
Choose a Study Space
A wise option for managing time will be to choose an area that is free from noises and distractions. Probably one of the worst places to accomplish things is in your bedroom, where your bed and television will constantly be tempting you. A library, a park, and cafes are some common study areas of choice. Of course there is still a chance to fall asleep in a peaceful park, but it is much less encouraging than in your room.
It might also be a good idea to turn off your cell phone and close your Facebook tab, since these are also big distractions. Every second you check your news feed is a second taken away from completing your work.
Begin With the Most Difficult Task
Whether you are planning for one day or one week, begin with the most difficult task. You will be more motivated in the beginning a long assignment than trying to tackle it after multiple small tasks. Leaving the most difficult task for last can result in unsatisfactory or incomplete work.
Be Positive and Don't be a Perfectionist
Manage your time with a positive attitude. If you learn your upcoming week will be filled with projects, errands or whatever, sulking about it for days won't take your responsibilities away. Know that you can get everything you want completed and on time if you use proper time management.
Try not to be a perfectionist, because nobody is perfect. Maybe you didn't get the results you wanted to from a speech you worked so hard on, or bombed the interview you have waited weeks for. Keeping a positive attitude and remembering that perfect doesn't exist what causes great leaders and businesses owners to keep doing great things.
Set Goals
Begin with the end in mind. What do you wish to accomplish at the end of your task or tasks? Having clear goals will help you better achieve them in the time you want. Try to be realistic about the goals you set also. There's no way you can lose 50 lbs in one day, unless you are getting liposuction.
Tools for Time Management
A common tool for time management are calendars. Whether they are paper or electronic, calendars provide a day to day agenda on what tasks we have to complete. Many online calendars offer time sections, so as you are planning your day you can put exactly what times you want to do tasks.
Time Tracking
Tracking the time you spend on tasks can also help you manage your time effectively. Online calendars, such as Google calendars, can help with keeping note of the amount of time you spend on a project. The Android and iPhone markets offer numerous apps to help increase productivity such as HiTask.com which offers a complete suite of tools including to do lists, time tracking, and team collaboration from nearly any web enabled device. You can even time track by setting a stopwatch in between tasks.
To-Do Lists
Keeping a to-do list is another important feature of time management; to be sure you remember everything in your hectic day. Luckily, there are many to-do list apps to choose from, some with features ranging from simple to very complex. Smaller tasks may be more appropriate for to-do lists, such as remembering to email a coworker back.We also recommend using mind mapping tools such as MindJet.com in order to better plan your overall strategy. It becomes a lot easier when you can draw out your tasks and goals instead of just writing them down. Some people are more visual and prefer having diagrams, so you may find it to be very useful!
Time is very important when working to meet deadlines and the primary cause of not completing tasks is just poor time management. Developing time management skills is an important skill that will probably be used for majority of a working adults life. Remember that time management is something that has to be developed and practiced, and you will find that having these skills will create the productive person you want to be.

Mischa Nowicki
April 19, 2014
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (SMU) - The SMU Mustangs took the first doubles win of the match against top-seeded and No. 21 Memphis, but the Tigers swept the following two doubles matches and three straight singles points to top SMU, 4-0, in the American Athletic Conference semifinals at the Racquet Club of Memphis on Saturday afternoon.
Senior Mischa Nowicki and freshman Arkidjas Slobodkins got SMU (11-13) off to a terrific start, as they beat No. 8 Joe Salisbury and David O'Hare of Memphis, 8-5, at No. 1 singles. Memphis' top doubles pair had won nine straight matches and have beaten seven nationally-ranked doubles pairs this season.
Memphis (14-4) responded, winning at No. 3 doubles by a score of 8-5. At No. 2 doubles, senior Alex Sanders and sophomore Nate Lammons held tough, tying the match at 4-4, 5-5 and 6-6, but ultimately the Tigers' duo of Connor Glennon and Cedric De Zutter won the match, 8-6, snagging the doubles point for Memphis.
SMU head coach Carl Neufeld acknowledged the importance of doubles in this particular match.
"We take pride in our doubles, as does Memphis," Neufeld said. "(Nowicki and Slobodkins) played absolutely fantastic. They opened the door for us to win the doubles point, but we just couldn't quite do it. At number-two doubles I thought we'd win. That was the most important part of the match, and it gave Memphis momentum."
Memphis took a quick 2-0 lead with Glennon winning at No. 1 singles due to retirement. O'Hare won at No. 6 over Tony Russell; 6-0, 6-1; and Ian Chadwell beat Slobodkins at No. 5; 6-2, 6-4. Memphis will play USF tomorrow in the conference championship.
"They're a very good team," Neufeld said about the Tigers. "I'm disappointed to lose, but excited that we played our best tennis at the conference tournament and to make the semifinals again."
The Mustangs advanced to the semifinals by defeating fourth-seeded UCF on Friday, 4-1. SMU has advanced to the conference semifinals in 17 of its last 18 seasons under Neufeld.

iPhone Email Becomes a Dream With This App
Mike Schuster
Seer, an iOS email manager, pulls the most important snippet from lengthy correspondences for quick, glanceable synopses.
According to
(NASDAQ:FB) co-founder Dustin Moskovitz,
it's a wonder it still exists
. On a broad technological timeline, it's almost as antiquated as picking up a phone and speaking to another person -- especially given our always-connected chat clients for our
(NASDAQ:AAPL) and
(NASDAQ:GOOG) devices.
But like being forced to use a fax machine every few months, email has proven to have enough use to stick around. Unfortunately, despite its ubiquity for decades, many folks are still ignorant in the ways of common email courtesy and etiquette. Chief of which includes writing a multi-paragraph diatribe when one or two sentences would suffice.
, a glorious godsend of an app that sifts through the mundane and asinine drivel from an email sender and grabs the most important information in a bite-sized, glanceable format.
Available now for free in the App Store
-- an Android version is said to be forthcoming -- Seer works with your Gmail account and displays sample cards similar to Google Now containing the most crucial snippet from a message as well as actions to reply, ignore, or set a reminder to deal with it later. The official site claims the app is "secure, free, and a big first step towards an intelligent personal assistant."
The best part: Seer is behavior-based and will tailor its recommendations according to your usage patterns. A sender whom you regularly correspond with will be prominently highlighted within the app, whereas someone to whom you rarely reply can be "muted" from the app.
Right now, Seer only works with Gmail, but the development team hopes to soon work with
(NASDAQ:YHOO), and others in the future.
For anyone who could use a lighter email load -- and can't we all? -- check out this promotional video from the Seer team and envision what an email utopia would be like if every sender just got to the point.

The American Heart Association recently noted that recognizing and treating a "mini stroke" could prevent a major stroke from happening. A TIA or transient ischemic attack, is the body's way of warning you that you are at risk of a major stroke in the future. TIA's usually only last a few minutes and don't cause damage. About one third of people with TIA's will subsequently have a stroke, and about half of those will have it within a year.
What causes a TIA (mini-stroke)?
TIAs occur when a blood clot temporarily clogs an artery, and part of the brain doesn't get the blood it needs. The symptoms occur rapidly and last a few moments. Most TIAs last less than five minutes. The average is about a minute. Unlike stroke, when a TIA is over, there's no injury to the brain. It is also worth noting that full blown strokes can occur without the prediction of a TIA.
Recognizing a TIA or Stroke, signs and symptoms:
- sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg, particularly on one side of the body
- sudden confusion, speech problems, or trouble comprehending speech
- sudden problems walking, dizziness, loss of balance
- sudden severe headache
- sudden vision problems, especially in one eye
Get help immediately!
These symptoms should prompt you to call an ambulance and visit the e.r. right away. The doctor will make a diagnosis based on your medical history and a head scan. St. David's Medical Center in Austin, Texas is certified as a primary stroke center. Seton Medical Centers are seeking certification as primary stroke centers. Web MD reports that stents in people with heart disease can prevent strokes.
Mini strokes are not full blown strokes, but are an indication that one could be in your future. Neurologists are the doctors that treat strokes and mini strokes and if you are a candidate for either, you should establish a relationship with a good neurologist.
High risk group for strokes and TIA's:
- family history of TIA or stroke
- age 55 years or older
- men are at higher risk than women
- African Americans are at higher risk
- blood pressure 140/85 mm Hg or higher
- high cholesterol
- heart disease, carotid artery disease, peripheral artery disease
- obesity
- cigarette smoking
- heavy drinking
- diabetes
- high fat, high sodium diet
With treatment, you may lower the likelihood of having a TIA or stroke. Lowering your risk factors may prevent or lessen the onset of strokes. Better health is in your hands.

Looking great on lazy summer weekends doesn't necessarily call for a lot of time—or stuff. These must-haves will score you maximum impact with minimal effort.
This mineral sunscreen protects with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, but—amazingly—it never feels the least bit sticky or tacky on your skin. Instead, the finish is silky to the touch and, thanks to just a hint of complexion perfecting tint, totally flawless.
Ditch the heavy lip color. This rosy balm laced with sunscreen pulls triple duty moisturizing and protecting delicate lips AND infusing them with just enough healthy color to make you look and feel pretty.
Summer weekend nights call for slightly more makeup than days, but keeping it light, natural and easy is still the way to go. This chubby stick can be swiped and on eyes, cheeks and lips and blended with a fingertip for a polished, coordinated look in—literally—seconds flat.
Apply this moisturizer after your morning shower and rest assured your skin will be protected even if an invitation to a stroll in the park or a lunch al fresco pops up unexpectedly.
Weekends are supposed to be carefree, so why are you spending them fighting against your hair's natural texture? Stop the madness and let your locks dry naturally, then enhance the look with a few spritzes of this texturizing mist. You may be surprised how much you love the effect.
That dark or nude-hued nail polish doesn't stand a chance against the sun's UV rays. Keep the color from fading and/or yellowing by brushing on a topcoat with added UV filters before a weekend of fun on the sun. This version is chip-proof, ultra-glossy and extends the life of your manicure if you apply it every couple of days.
If routine manicures don't make your weekend to-do list, consider the much lower-maintenance buffing option instead. This handy file buffs nails to a high-shine that rivals the glossiest topcoat—but you'll never have to worry about chipping polish.
A few coats of mascara are all your eyes really need in the way of makeup on laid-back summer weekends. With its exclusive PolyFlex technology, this lash enhancer lasts four whole days—through swimming, sweating, sunbathing and more.
Nothing destroys a carefree weekend look faster than sweaty underarms. This pro-strength anti-perspirant is waterproof, making it a must-have for humid days—and those spent pool-, lake- or seaside.
Heat and sun can cause hair color to fade faster than usual. Instead of risking your investment, simply swap your conditioner for a UV-infused one, like this one that detangles while shielding strands with an invisible layer on sun protection. Really, what could be easier?

STANFORD, Calif.- Tyler Haws scored 31 points to lead six players in double figures as BYU outlasted Stanford 112-103 on Monday night in Maples Pavilion.
BYU (2-0, 0-0 WCC) shot 53.5 percent from the field overall, thanks mainly to Haws connecting on 10-18 attempts and Matt Carlino adding 26 points on 8-16 shooting. The Cougars made 8-15 from beyond the arc and 28-43 from the foul line.
Stanford (1-1, 0-0 Pac-12) connected on 45.9 percent shooting and placed four players in double figures. Chasson Randle's career-high 33 points (12-23 FG, 7-9 FT) were the most for a Cardinal player since Landry Fields scored 35 against UCLA back on Feb. 4, 2010.
Dwight Powell contributed 28 points (10-15 FG, 7-10 FT) and seven rebounds while Anthony Brown chipped in with 16 points. Josh Huestis grabbed a game-high nine boards as both teams finished with 39 rebounds.
The 215 total points were the most since Stanford edged UCLA 116-110 in double-overtime on Dec. 23, 1987. Monday's output represented the most combined points in regulation since Dec. 6, 1985, when Stanford defeated Yale 129-108.
BYU's 112 points were the most allowed by Stanford since a 114-93 loss at UCLA on Feb. 24, 1977.
Leading 38-35 with just over five minutes remaining before halftime, the Cougars scored nine unanswered points and took a 54-46 edge in the locker room.
A three-pointer from Powell brought Stanford to within 72-64 at the 12:22 mark of the second half, only to have BYU embark on a 19-8 scoring run that gave the Cougars their largest lead of the game at 91-72.
Stanford kept fighting until the end, whittling the lead to single digits with just over two minutes remaining in the game.
- - - - - - - - - -
NOTES: John Gage scored 12 points in 17 minutes off the bench, knocking down four three-pointers in a game for the third time in his career … Stanford finished 26-34 from the charity stripe and is now 41-55 (74.5 percent) over its first two games … Four of Stanford's five starters played at least 32 minutes … Monday's meeting was the first since a 62-53 Stanford win at the EA Sports Maui Invitational on Nov. 23, 2004. It was BYU's first appearance at Maples Pavilion since Jan. 4, 1969, one night after the Cougars defeated the Cardinal 95-89 in the first game ever played in the facility … Stanford defeated Oregon State 103-101 in quadruple-overtime on Jan. 7, 2012. The 103 points were the most Stanford has scored at home since Dec. 28, 2008 in a 111-66 rout of Texas Tech … Tonight marked Stanford's 28th 100-point game in school history … Tyler Haws' 31 points were the most for an opposing player since Arizona State's Jahii Carson poured in 34 on March 13, 2013 in the Pac-12 Tournament … BYU's 112 points were the most allowed by Stanford in a home game since a 120-74 defeat to UCLA on Feb. 28, 1976 … Monday's game represented the start of ESPN's sixth annual 24-hour College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon.
- - - - - - - - - -
Stanford Head Coach Johnny Dawkins
On BYU's 112-point performance…
"I haven't seen a team shoot like this often. They shot lights-out. Give them a lot of credit. I thought they had a lot of contributions, not just from Carlino, who we know is a really good player, as well as Haws. They got a lot of contributions from a lot of the other guys in the starting lineup and their bench, and so all of those kids were kind of firing on all cylinders, shooting the ball very well. I thought we had hands in faces at times, contested shots. Guys made tough ones, and that's tough, because it's been a while since I can remember scoring over 100 points and losing a college basketball game in 40 minutes. And so give them a lot of credit. They shot the ball well, played with a lot of confidence. I thought our kids kept fighting. We cut it to single-digits. Late when we got down big in the second half, our kids showed no quit. It was just a matter of trying to get stops, and we couldn't sustain stops."
On the Cardinal's defense…
"I won't say it's their hot hands. We have to get better defensively. We can't give up 112 points. No matter how well a team shot, we have to do better defensively, and that's something that we've done well, and been calling card of ours: defending. So I was very disappointed in the fact that we allowed 112 points and such a good field goal percentage shooting by a number of players."
On playing against a hot-shooting team…
"I'm interested to look at it on film and study exactly what we did. Like I said before, I thought they took some tough shots, I thought they gained some confidence by making tough shots. And I thought at times, we broke down as well. And so I think that combination really hurt us. But if you look at their points, 28 points off of turnovers. We had 14 turnovers, which means they pretty much scored every single time we turned the ball over. And so that's very efficient. We need to grow up and learn from this lesson and get better from it, because we are going to hang our hat on defense. We are going to have a defensive identity. That's who we're always going to be, because offense comes and goes. We shot the ball okay tonight; we didn't shoot the ball as well as we could have. Offense is not the issue. It's what we're going to do on the defensive end, possession by possession. And we'll get that corrected."
On moving forward…
"The thing is, we have to continue to get better. This is game two of our season. I think there's a lot to learn from this game; I think there's a lot to learn from this opponent. They're one of the fastest teams in transition that we've faced in the last several years, and that was good for us. They really pushed the basketball on misses and makes. They really keep a lot of pressure on you with their offense, and they keep you on your heels that way."
Chasson Randle
On the loss…
"First of all, I want to give credit to them. Like Coach said, they did a good job shooting the basketball. I'm not looking at the numbers…at the end of the day, I think we've got to figure out what we've got to do to get the win on Thursday."
Dwight Powell
On the loss…
"Like Chasson said, they're a great team. What they like to do is shoot and score, [Carlino and Haws] especially. They get a lot of shots up every game. And unfortunately we had a hard time taking away what they like, which are mid-range jumpers and driving to the basket and attacking the middle and coming up on curls. And they did what they like, and they're good at it, so they executed well. Tonight they may have shot better than normal, but we have to step up our defensive game if we expect to beat anyone, because 112 points is unacceptable regardless of how well a team shoots."
On the Cardinal's defense…
"I think today showed us that there's a lot of things we need to work on, collectively as a team as well as individually on the ball, and in help-side rotations, because that can't happen. Like you said, we do hang our hat on defense, and tonight we didn't show up with the toughness that we needed to get it done."
BYU Head Coach Dave Rose
Opening Statement…
"Well, that was a really entertaining game, there were a lot of fouls called. Both teams played really well offensively. Usually early in the year your defense is way better than your offense, but that wasn't the case tonight. Both teams shot the ball well, the rebounding was even. Seemed like they dominated the boards in the first half; our guys did a decent job of trying to corral balls. Our plan of attack was scoring; that was the key to the game for us."
On wanting to push the ball in transition…
"Right now we're trying to get used to seeing how the games are going to be called; we have a couple guards who can really get by guys; we've always been a kind of penetrate-and-kick, three-point-shooting team. We hit eight threes tonight, which is good; a lot of this game was straight off the transition. We'll find ourselves on how we're really going to play."
On shooting early in the shot clock…
"We want good shots -- good open shots. It puts a lot of pressure on a team, keeps them on their heels. It also puts a lot of pressure on us to keep possessions, because we play so fast, but I think our guys are used to it."
Matt Carlino
On the run-and-gun contest tonight…
"That's just kind of our style. We're going to continue doing it and getting better at it. I didn't think we were getting tired at all. My legs were pretty fresh late in the game."
On beating a Pac-12 team on the road…
"We expected to come in and win. We had a good game plan going in, we knew they were going press early. They did the press later, too, we kind of forgot about it for a second. Nothing they did surprised us. I don't think we've played a team with that much length. They were really long and super-athletic."

On the up-tempo style…
"I thought it was a pretty physical game. Right until the end it was a battle. It was up and down, and they never went away; that's a good team. Our guys rebounded really well, which helped us get into our transition game. I thought we shared the ball really well (23 assists). We found the open guy, and we took good shots, and we were able to knock a bunch down."

Secrets of Success
Ahhh, blissful sleep at last!
Saturday, April 21, 2012
My exciting days in this life are basically over, (and I DID have some great ones!!) but I do get thrilled about the simple pleasures in life.
Like calm, restful sleep, as long as I want to lie there.
This cannot be fully appreciated unless you know that normally, I go to bed at 7 or 8 at night, rise at 4 Am. for work, five days a week, BUT I am up every 45 minutes all night to use the rest room,, I am on many meds and two of them cause this, plus the fact that I already have overactive bladder,,I know, TMI,, but last night I slept in the chair for a couple hours, then DD shouted for me to get up,,
off I go to bed, fall asleep in seconds, only woke up four times to do my thing down the hall!
The best part is, I can sleep as long as I want to sleep since I do not work weekends.
I finally got up at a very late 6:30a...
I would wake up, lie there just smiling, dozing, waking up, enjoying this luxury like a fine wine or decadent chocolate, or a wonderful view of scenery.
It is a good thing I do this, because I cannot afford the wine, the candy or the trip to that scene!! LOL!
I got dressed, walked out to the street to get my mail and enjoyed the fact that the birds were flying around my head, singing just for me to hear, since nobody else is up yet.
I am sitting here thinking about a juicy apple that is sitting in that basket on my table, waiting for me, for breakfast!!
I would love to have more money to be worry-free of things like that, but I am now content to just appreciate what is put before me, why it is there and how much I rely on these simple things every day just for a smile or distraction.
How many times a week do you appreciate paved roads or streetlights or the cushioned seats in your vehicle??What if they were wooden or metal only??
How about nail files or stockings or your watch or hairbrush?
Does life send you into a tizzy when you have no washer/dryer/fridge/or a backed up sewer, no running water or power,,even for an hour or two???
I am easy to please and these are the things I think about when I whine or complain about my health challenges or life situations..
Shame on me for not realizing this earlier in life, but oh well, I appreciate it now..

Yes, every time someone says 'Oh, I'd love to live back in the (whatever) era!' I think 'Not me - I like running water, and central heating, and electricity, and so on and so forth...' As long as I can go to the store, I don't have to spend my life being a hunter - gatherer, lol...

That was a nice tranquil Blog LINDA.
I am glad you are off weekends now.
That makes life feel normal again.
It's good that you are getting better sleep too.
I know all about working weekends.

I agree- we have to appreciate the things in life that are free. My tme of peace is sitting in the sun in my backyard - listening to the birds and smelling the flowers in the garden.
My garden is all perennials so I don`t have to buy/plant them each year - just wait for them to grow and blossom to enjoy them!
