Trapped Osprey Rescued From Tower
CRAVEN COUNTY, NC - An Osprey trapped on top of a cell phone tower is freed tonight.
Wildlife rescuer, Ellen Westermann, spotted the Osprey at the top of the 150-foot U.S. Cellular tower Wednesday. Its wing was stuck between two pieces of metal, making it impossible for it to free itself.
Westermann called for help, but on the Fourth of July, no one was available.
Today that changed.
U.S Cellular called in authorized climbers from Pamlico Tower in Washington to save the bird.
Worker David Hollis was able to climb the tower to untangle the bird, but when he got to the top, what he found was heartbreaking.
"There's two of them. He won't let go of the other one." Hollis said.
Hollis found not one, but two Ospreys trapped. One was dead and the other held on to its side.
Wildlife experts said the nest may have blown on top of the bird in Sunday's storm, trapping him. They believe the second bird tried to rescue him.
"Even when I pulled that bird put and got its wing free, he didn't let go of the other bird," Hollis said. "I feel like he was trying to save the other bird."
The birds were separated and brought down to safety. There, wildlife experts were able to examine the live one for injuries. At first look, no serious injuries were apparent.
An official veterinarian examination is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

30 Faces of Domestic Hate Groups
Kevin MacDonald isn't your typical white supremacist. The 68-year-old professor of psychology was once an anti-Vietnam War activist and aspiring jazz pianist. Much of his early research studied how parents interact and play with children. In 1995, he was honored with a Distinguished Faculty award from Cal State University in Long Beach.
Aside from that, MacDonald has also published a trilogy of books that, in part, argue Jews have historically engaged in "group evolutionary behavior" at the expense of others. Not surprisingly, neo-Nazi organizations have touted MacDonald as a new intellectual leader. This perception was solidified in 2000, when MacDonald testified on behalf of a Holocaust denier and was quoted saying he was "agnostic" on the Holocaust.
The real change, according to the SPLC's Potok, has been the rise of "Patriot Groups," militia organizations that have been forming ever since the 2008 election.
MacDonald is just one of the "Thirty New Activists on the Radical Right" named by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in its Summer 2012 issue of Intelligence Report.
Keeping MacDonald company on the list are familiar names like David Duke, former Ku Klux Klan leader and runner-up for governor of Louisiana in 1991, and newcomers like Jason "Molotov" Mitchell, a 32-year-old former wedding videographer and Christian extremist who gained a following for his viral videos endorsing the hanging of homosexuals and subjugation of women.
It's the second such list for the SPLC, which issued "40 to Watch" in 2003. Founded by civil rights lawyers Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin Jr. in 1971, the center has a long history of fighting discrimination cases in the United States. Some of its earliest victories were against the KKK. SPLC's innovative 1981 Klanwatch project (which monitored Klan activities) has evolved into Hatewatch, which monitors a wider range of domestic organizations promoting intolerance and discrimination.
Mark Potok, the editor-in-chief of Intelligence Report, tells TakePart that there's been a considerable shift in the radical right since the SPLC's 2003 assessment of the movement's leadership. This year's list has expanded to include a number of anti-gay leaders, such as Christian extremist Lou Engle, and revisionist historian David Barton, who unlike the others, isn't affiliated with any one group. In addition, more women are making the hate right grade, such as Pamela Geller, an anti-Muslimist blogger.
The real change, according to the SPLC's Potok, has been the rise of "Patriot Groups," militia organizations that have been forming ever since the 2008 election.
"In many ways, we're in the middle of a radical right that is exploding in the past three years since Obama has been in office," says Potok. "This is our attempt to pull together a snapshot of who are the really important people on the radical right today, a very different group than the one we looked at about a decade ago."
With any luck, the SPLC's new list will have the same impact as its 2003 version. Then, the radical right was dominated by a few major groups, principally the World Church of the Creator, National Alliance and Aryan Nations. To hear Potok tell it, the Intelligence Report article helped spell the end of these racist organizations.
"Each one of those groups has been decapitated and very nearly destroyed in the last 10 years," says Potok. "In the case of Aryan Nations, we sued them in 2000 and pretty much crushed the organization, and then its leader died in 2004. After the leader of the National Alliance [William Pierce] died in 2002, we wrote a piece that revealed embarrassing details about the alliance and created many splits in the organization. Now the National Alliance is very much a shadow of its former self, like the Aryan Nations."
"As for World Church of the Creator, which is a neo-Nazi skinhead organization that fell to pieces in 2003, its leader, Matt Hale, was sent to federal prison for soliciting the murder of a federal judge," says Potok, adding dryly, "which is a bad thing to do, if you get caught."
Have you had any personal experiences with the radical right? Let us know in the COMMENTS.

Two pole positions, a second place in race one and a win in race two was more than enough to give Scott McLaughlin victory again in the V8 SuperTourers in Taupo.
Teamed with V8 Supercar driver Jono Webb, the duo translated their superb qualifying pace - where they locked out pole position for both races with first and second fastest times from qualifying - into podium finishes.
This matched the performance of the Mike Pero Mortgages M3 Racing duo of Nick Cassidy and Jack Perkins, but two pole positions were enough to give McLaughlin and Webb the memorial Ashley Stichbury Trophy in front of a big crowd.
Their driver changes - compulsory in the two 56-lap races - were among the quickest but they were hampered by tyre problems in the first race. They made the most of some small changes in race two, winning and taking the lead in the V8 SuperTourers enduro series.
They didn't have it all their own way, though. Series debutants Cassidy and Perkins put in a quick driver changeover on race one and took a lead they would not lose, and in race two after some early contact they had no answer to the flying McLaughlin and Webb but had the measure of the rest.
Championship leader John McIntyre and new co-driver Jono Lester had two third placings.

Is it safe to use borax around hives to discourage ants?
Is it safe to use borax around hives to discourage ants?
Run a search on will borax kill bees and you will see that is what is recommended to kill bees if they are creating a problem for someone. They say it will also kill the ants and the grass. It is used inside the house also to rid it of insects, a natural killer for insects and can be used to make your clothes whiter also, just threw that in.
Borax, or boric acid, is usually mixed w/ a bait to make it palatable to ants. Most baits on the market are mixed w/ sugar for "sugar ants" or mixed w/ a grease based bait for other types of ants--like Pheidole spp. (common name big headed ant?) in the south. This is done so they take it into the nest and it eventually kills the queen(s). That said, if the bees have access they will do the same thing (for the sugar bait)and it could result in the same end (depending on the proportion they take in to other foodstuffs).
If you are talking about sprinkling borax crystals on the ground it will only kill the ants (or bees) that come into contact w/ it. Won't remove the colony so more foragers will come to replace them. W/out mixture in a palatable bait they won't take to the nest.
So if the bees don't land on it then it shouldn't hurt them.
I sprinkeled ground cinnamon right out of the kitchen cabinet on the inner cover that was covered with what we refer to as piss ants about a week ago. I will check tomorrow to see if it worked. I had previously dumped all the ants and eggs but they came back, will see tomorrow if the ground cinnamon stopped them.

I would mix the borax with equal parts of grape jelly and water and put it in a sandwich container with some 1/8" holes drilled in the top...

I checked the hive with cinnamon on the inner cover this AM, there were no ants.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
They all look wonderful. You will be hooked on paper piecing from now on. I love to paper piece to .
terrific job... they look great
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
You did an awesome job, my problem with paper-piece is that you do everything backwards and I have trouble doing backwards, Just fininshed a quilt of paper piece tho took me two years to do!
What beautiful blocks, but you didn't say how you learned to do paper piecing. I've always wondered.
wow-they are wonderful.I am scared to try-your 1st attempts are awesome
Very nice never would have known it was your first ones.
I have been paper piecing for well over 20 years and I still love it. It does take awhile but it is something that can become a take along project to anywhere. Those projects are what I take when I visit my children or just sitting in the evening because I have to be doing something with my hands. I just cannot sit down and watch TV so this is usually what I do. I have several PP quilts in the process. Good luck and keep on. Your blocks are gorgeous and look perfect. Please be sure to share pics of the finished quilt when it is finished, I am sure it will be a work of art.
once you start, you find you are addicted. great job so far
they are all soooo beautiful!!!
So many quilts, so little time :-)

Last year our friend from Wandering Spoon told us about the second annual Northern California Soy and Tofu Fest. A gathering of Bay Area tofu lovers all in one place? Sign us up!
After signing up, and telling the festival organizers about tofu misozuke, we were asked if we wanted to make a short presentation as part of the educational program. I jumped at the opportunity to go on and on. Below is most of my presentation on the ancient and mostly unverifiable history of tofu misozuke.
Tofu Misozuke Pre-History
Soybean cultivation and tofu production both originated from China and their invention are traditionally attributed to legendary characters. Emperor Shennong invented agriculture (and medicine) and domesticated soybeans along with all other important crops about 5000 years ago. Tofu was said to have been invented in the 2nd century BC by Prince Liu An, who is also credited with inventing t'ai chi and a tempered 12 tone musical scale, among many other things. He was said to have grown younger and younger as he ate more tofu and eventually sprouted wings, ascended into heaven, and became the patron god of tofu. [Not verifiable.]
Soybeans, tofu, and fermented soybean products probably came to Japan along with Buddhist missionaries in the 6th century. But in Japan there was already something called 'Jomon miso' made from salted, fermented grains and/or fish. Jomon refers to the Japanese Neolithic era. So did the Japanese adapt the techniques for making Jomon miso to use soybeans as a new substrate, or did soybean based miso also come from China? There are fermented soybean pastes in Chinese cooking, too, but it never achieved the ubiquity that miso does. And miso, so central to Japanese cuisine, has properties that made tofu misozuke possible, and made it a distinct class of preserved tofu. I'll get back to that on a future post about the biochemistry behind tofu misozuke.
The oldest surviving mention of tofu in Japanese occurred in the diary of a Buddhist monk in Nara, dated 1183. Nara was the landing spot of Buddhist missionaries all those centuries ago and is still the center of Japanese Buddhism today. The monk's diary makes for a convenient segue into:
The Genpei War
In 1180, 3 years before the journal entry, many temples, statues, and sacred texts in Nara were burned down by Taira Kiyomori, head of the powerful, dominant Taira or Heike clan, and his troops. For this evil deed, his clan was doomed and Taira Kiyomori himself was to die from a fever so hot that water poured on him burst in to flame. [Not verifiable, but Taira's pursuit by ghosts/descent into madness is well illustrated below.]
Taira Kiyomori died in 1181, the civil war between the Heike Clan and the Minamoto or Genji clan raged on for another 4 years, finally ending in 1185 at the naval battle of Dannoura, in the narrow strip of sea separating the main Japanese island of Honshu and the southwestern island of Kyushu. Heike forces were utterly destroyed, the Imperial family and many Heike warriors committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
Ghosts stories, legends and epics inspired by the war, and that last battle in particular became a prominent part of Japanese culture, inspiring artists, musicians, and writers for centuries to come. The Tale of the Heike, for instance, is an epic poem and biwa lute piece that dates back to the 13th century and is part of Japan's musical canon. I first learned about all this when I was captivated by a vignette from the movie Kwaidan invoking ghosts from the battle Dannoura.
But survivors of that battle were important too. The remnants of the Heike clans fled into the mountains and backwaters of Kyushu on the other side of the strait and had to adapt to the remote conditions there. They were no longer near Kyoto or Nara, the centers of early tofu productions. In order to make rare goods last longer, the Heike survivors were credited with having invented tofu misozuke.
Not verifiable, of course, but my world is better with that story. Imagine it! The sequel to the epic Tales of the Heike is the invention of tofu misozuke! Elizabeth Andoh (more below) pointed out to us that misozuke is a widely practiced technique and tofu misozuke is not isolated to Kyushu. Nonetheless we see here that the people of Kyushu are especially attached to the dish and proud of its local origins.
Special thanks have to go to the wonderful Elizabeth Andoh. When the opportunity to speak about tofu misozuke came up, I was terrified of spreading misinformation and misrepresenting some parts of the wild, wonderful world of Japanese cuisine. I reached out to Elizabeth and she graciously agreed to spend time answering my questions. Elizabeth Andoh has been teaching Japanese cuisine for more than 4 decades and has written many books along the way. Her last three books – Washoku, on Japanese homecooking; Kansha, on Japanese vegan and vegetarian cuisine; and Kibo, a fundraiser for the tsunami recovery efforts – are accompanied by websites regularly updated with new lessons. Oh, and her Washoku book contained one of the few English recipes for tofu misozuke. With so much on her plate (ahem), we were flabbergasted and touched when she fit us into her busy schedule. She eventually spent over an hour with Oanh and me, bombarding us with so much information that we're still not done digesting it all. Clearly, any misinformation left on my presentation and on this post was all my own fault. Also, her challenge to our claim of a Kyushu – tofu misozuke connection led to our discovery of the neat little story told above.

Knights patron brands players 'inexcusable'
Page Tools
Newcastle patron Michael Costa says he's disgusted by the latest scandal to hit rugby league - a drunken rampage by Knights players.
The Newcastle NRL club has sacked one player and issued fines totalling $50,000 over the incident last weekend at a university in the NSW town of Bathurst.
The Knights have terminated 20-year-old Dane Tilse's contract for conduct "contrary and prejudicial to the club and the NRL".
Mr Costa, the NSW Minister for Roads, said the Knights had let down the entire Hunter Valley community.
"It's inexcusable behaviour," he said, adding that the training players receive on what is acceptable off-field behaviour should be reviewed.
"It's clearly the case that the league and all the clubs should take a lesson out of this and review ... their counselling and instruction sessions on appropriate behaviour to make sure the message is getting through," he told reporters.

Scientists at the Center for Quantum Devices (CQD) in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University have demonstrated for the first time a high-performance infrared imager, based on a Type II superlattice, which looks at wavelengths 20 times longer than visible light.
Researchers at center, led by Manijeh Razeghi, Walter P. Murphy Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, say that such technology has the potential for broad applications in the detection of terrorist activities, such as use in night vision, target identification, and missile tracking.
Any object, including the human body, with a near-room temperature actively emits long wavelength (around 10 micron) infrared radiation (LWIR). Tracking this infrared radiation using high-speed infrared (IR) imagers would help to reveal thermal profiles of hidden targets or objects at night when no visible source is available. Such imagers also have potential use in medical applications where excessive heating or cooling in the body can indicate problems like inflammation, blood flow issues or even cancerous tissue.
In LWIR imaging applications, the dominant technologies are photodetectors based upon the HgCdTe (mercury cadmium telluride or MCT) material platform and the quantum well photoconductors (QWIP). Both of them have shown limitations that stimulated the research for alternative technologies. Type-II InAs/GaSb (indium arsenide/gallium antimonide) superlattices, first proposed by Nobel laureate Leo Esaki in 1973, became a potential for use in infrared detection in 1987. It wasn't until semiconductor epitaxial growth techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy were sufficiently advanced in the 1990s that high-performance infrared photon detection based on these superlattices was fully demonstrated.
"The type-II superlattice will become the next generation infrared material replacing MCT technology," says Razeghi. "MCT has many limitations, especially in the longer wavelength infrared range critical for missile detection."
Razeghi's research group has recently invented a new superlattice structure, called the M-structure, which boosted the performance of the type II superlattice to a new level. This new device structure is capable of detecting very low light intensity with high optical efficiency and exhibits an electrical noise level 10 times smaller than the original design. A LWIR 320x256 pixel focal plane array fabricated from this material has been able to differentiate temperature differences as low as 0.02 degrees Celsius. The camera was able to detect 74 percent of the incident photons, similar to other leading technologies.
Researchers recently presented their findings at the SPIE Photonics West Conference held in San Jose, CA on Jan. 19-24, 2008. This work was also published in the October 18, 2007 issue of the journal Applied Physics Letters.

I had a baking itch this past weekend. What's better than a fresh baked cookie? Not much! Butter, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, mix-ins. Using your standard chocolate chip cookie recipe (technically it was a mesquite flour chocolate chip cookie recipe), and then assembling extra ingredients to make a variety of different combos.
Gather your ingredients.
Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and the vanilla. Slowly add in the flour in batches. Then divide the dough.
My combos:
- Chocolate chip (classic!)
- Chocolate chip pecan
- Goji pecan
- Oatmeal raisin
- Oatmeal raisin pecan
Using a cookie scoop (or a spoon), place on a baking sheet. Note: I placed them close together so I could freeze them, so I'd have my own "break and bake" – minus the breaking – in the freezer. Fresh baked cookies in a moments notice, but made from scratch? Yes, please!
The key is in a little creativity. Get baking!

LNG Island On Rockaway's Horizon
After five hours of presentations, lots of questions and few answers, there are only two things that are clear concerning the proposal to place a massive man-made Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal off the Rockaway beachfront: the great majority of locals and environmental groups present at recent meetings say that they are opposed to the project and the process is such that no final decisions will be made on the project any time soon.
The school's gymnasium was set up for informal presentations and the split between environmental groups and the Atlantic Sea Group, the developers who want to build the multi-million dollar LNG terminal less than 20 miles from Rockaway, was evident as soon as one walked into the room.
To the right of the door was a series of presentation boards set up by the developers and manned by Greg Lowdermilk, the company's public safety and security director, and Gary Lewi, a media specialist from Rubinstein Communications, who handles the company's public relations.
To their left was a series of tables and presentation boards set up by the U.S. Coast Guard that detailed the process leading up to the decision to license or not license the project.
To the Coast Guard's right were tables hosted by environmental specialists from the Clean Ocean Action group in New Jersey, the local EcoWatchers and the Surfriders.
The Coast Guard was strictly neutral, stating that it was "neither in favor or opposed" to the project, but tasked with doing an investigation and coming up with an Environmental Impact Statement.
Mark Prescott, an engineer who heads the Coast Guard's Deepwater Ports Division, and who is tasked with completing the Environmental Impact Statement, told The Wave that a final decision is far off.
In fact, he said, the information needed for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, the next step in the process, will probably not be available until late August or early September.
"We have to get tons of information," Prescott said. "We have to analyze it and then verify it. Only then can we write the draft impact statement. We still need some information and that will come in August at the earliest, and probably later. This is an extremely challenging process, and we have to get it done in a timely fashion."
Chances are, experts say, that the meeting will be held either in Long Beach or someplace else in Nassau County.
When the comment period and the meetings end, the Coast Guard will then issue a final Environmental Impact Statement and another 45-day comment period and more public meetings will be triggered.
Then, everything goes to the federal Maritime Administration, where the final decision will be made.
If the federal Maritime Administrator denies the license, everything ends. If the feds approve the license, however, Governor David Paterson has 45 days to veto the decision. If he does not veto the approval in writing, however, by federal law Paterson is then presumed to have approved it, and a license is issued.
Dozens of locals testified at the meeting.
Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer said that she opposed the plan, stating, "This is a project that derives absolutely no public good. Building a more than 60- acre man-made island, that has a 116-acre seafloor footprint, would have a devastating effect on our fish habitat, marine life and ecosystem. The environmentally sensitive waterways of our community can not be jeopardized by this project."
"The Jamaica Bay Eco Watchers oppose the proposed LNG island project as it will do tremendous damage to the Cholera Bank fishing grounds, a sensitive and productive marine habitat," said Dan Mundy, the organization's president. "This is the first step in an attempt to industrialize our coastal ocean zone."
Congressman Anthony Weiner, who asked the Coast Guard to host an additional meeting for Rockaway residents, said that he was reserving judgment on the proposal until all the facts are in.
"Nowhere has anybody contemplated doing something like this," Weiner said. "There are more questions than answers at this point. We have to come up with a list of the things we want [the Coast Guard] to look at. It's not like they can go and look at another similar facility to see what happens. There is no other facility. I personally need to know that they are taking unprecedented steps to protect it."
"The water is the reason most people live in Rockaway," Weiner added. "We don't take interference with the water kindly. Don't forget, Rockaway is the place that argued over dunes for 15 years."
Ray Elmer, a Long Beach resident who sits on the city's council, dropped a bomb when he informed the audience that the politically powerful ex-Senator Alphonse D'Amato was hired as a lobbyist by the developers.
D'Amato is seen by many as one of the most powerful men in the state, and appeared on the stage with David Paterson when he was sworn in as governor.
"That could change everything," Elmer said. "But you don't build an industrial island off the coast of a residential island like the south shore of Long Island."
A spokesman for the developers said, "Science, security and the economics of powering our region support this proposal. The New York metro region is going to continue to demand more LNG far into the future. There seems to be little support for its alternatives such as coal, nuclear and oil and while the Governor is suggesting wind off our coast, the energy industry needs to ascertain the economics of that proposal. This plan puts an LNG terminal far from an urban center yet close enough to tap into existing underwater gas lines. Its presence will create a protected fish habitat while minimizing interference with commercial shipping coming into New York Harbor. It couldn't be seen from the Rockaways but its impact on the competitive forces of heating our region would be real and positive.
"The science behind this plan is based on mature technology and millions of dollars of environmental studies that are available for review and public comment. We are not a major source of air emissions and we would discharge fresh water derived from moisture in the atmosphere. The economics of this proposal would use private money to create 5 million hours of construction jobs. The ongoing operation of Safe Harbor Energy will create another 3.5 million hours of jobs in the local area. Lower energy bills for the residents should be a result of the increased supply and competitive forces in the marketplace. The economic benefit will be enormous with the creation of over 8.4 million labor hours and wages totaling $840 million.
"We recognize that any proposal for any project of consequence, anywhere, is going to spark debate and discussion. We welcome that dialogue because the science behind this proposal is clear, unequivocal and subject to independent analysis and testing. At the end of the day, the New York metro area is going to need energy. How do we deliver it safely, generating competition in the marketplace so that the consumer benefits, while creating jobs and economic growth, is answered through this project."

In winter's white, as angels cry
for early spring to warm the wind,
to bring to life with gentle sigh,
in love, the bitter frost has thinned.
For early spring to warm the wind,
at Valentine's romantic calls,
in love, the bitter frost has thinned,
where dancers twirl amid stone walls.
At Valentine's romantic calls,
rebirth of nature's light divine,
where dancers twirl amid stone walls,
and blossoms pastel shades recline.
Rebirth of nature's light divine,
when day equals the hours of night,
and blossoms pastel shades recline,
to hail the queen of May in light.
When day equals the hours of night,
a summer's sun will come to play,
to hail the queen of May in light,
we chant and sing along the way.
A summer's sun will come to play,
so life can grow as gods decreed,
we chant and sing along the way,
with warmth and light our hunger feed.
So life can grow as gods decreed,
the rays of sun on seeds we've sown,
with warmth and light our hunger feed,
the wealth of harvest is our own.
The rays of sun on seeds we've sown,
in autumn breeze that chills the heat,
the wealth of harvest is our own,
as gold and red belies our feet.
In autumn breeze that chills the heat,
a year that ends with blessed Samhain,
as gold and red belies our feet,
the call of Ancient's name to reign.
A year that ends with blessed Samhain,
to bring to life with gentle sigh,
the call of Ancient's name to reign,
in winter's white, as angels cry.

On this day, the light declares victory
The Sun's unrelenting march
From its Stygian, icy fortress
Has at last dethroned the indolent dark
The pendulum swings into the black
The metronome ticks maddeningly faster
Life, the sleep sand wiped out of its eyes,
In love again in its giddy mania
Emerald mother unfurls to embrace
The fertile seed of the victorious Sun
A hint of pollen with each breath beckons, as
The world spins dizzyingly towards its fevered peak.

Tickled with wet prisms
Cocooned with the dead head of trees
Synchronized in natures rhythms
Her skin dancing with shadows in a breeze
Good morning Misses Sun
Inhaling the exhalants of the plants
Worries has she? None.
In spring showers she does gallivant.
After noon parade of Clouds
What stories in shapes do you bring me?
I see you're not in lack of drought
I do love the song of thunder you sing me
So soon Mister Moon
I'm ready for the spotlight summons
Rolling in your dark doom
The now dry sky cries diamonds
How I love the day
How I love the Night
More than I can ever say
Mmm Whispers of the light.

Autumn came this summer
on a cool winter's day
Then spring walked in behind her
Then spring soon danced away:
A flower grew beside her
from a freshly fallen pile of snow
And the petals fall onto the ground
shortly after the winds blows:
As quickly as the seasons change
so the same, time does pass
and the memory of frozen ground
is soon your bed of grass:
The time which a flower bares it's bloom
or clouds share their summer rain
Quickly passes with the shifting winds
As it guides away your pain:
My lover spoke just as a friend
As a stranger, then took my hand
As one beginning drew to another end
the setting sun made me understand:
The Earth is not that far around
The sun rises in the day
And as quickly as the lightning strikes
The storm can roll away.

The world that once was slumbering
Beneath the quilt of Winter's snow
Is now set free to gladly see
The rays of golden sunlight
He peeks at first so shyly through
The drifting clouds of leaden grey
And then, behold his beams of gold!
A kiss of gentle sunshine
The trees are budding, flowers bloom
And shades of gentle green abound
The birds of spring so sweetly sing
While kissed by rays of sunlight
How father-like the sun looks down
In glorious warmth and light
To see the things his fire brings --
The miracle of sunshine
From east to west he travells on
In grandly royal golden robes
A pilgrim man, that once began
Benignly sending raylets
As here I watch th'unfolding spring
And bask in beams of heaven's king
I think of monarchs, once divine
Whose wond'rous kingdoms once did shine
This sun hath missed not one poor soul
But fondly with a tender touch
Hath kissed the maids that dwelt in glades
Of distant lands now vanished
Now all, I think, once gently kissed
Have sung the praise of heaven's rays
And all, it seems, that Sun hath wist
Have tracked his run throughout their days
His rhythmic climb and equal fall
While heeding Nature's firmest call
His constant change, yet still the same
When once returned from whence he came
A mystery, a miracle
At times a friend, at times severe
But each new day at Dawn's approach
Reveals the kiss of sunshine

After months of white covering substance
That's dominated the ground's existence
Powers of the sky peer down upon me
And lo and behold there are green blades freed
Grass is coming in sight by the sun's rays
The white fluffy snow has seen better days
There's now formed in the middle of the yard
Small pond of water just playing its card
Seasons change, the melting walk has begun
White mass on the Earth melts under the sun
Finding green grass, pleasant sight to behold
In the sunlight the color looks quite bold
Spring has come to save all from the bleak scene
This process to turn snow to grass of green

Spring hastens with praise to gift me blessings
of sunlit stories and passion in beams.
Cold winter winds rise on raven's bruised wings
circling high above lush valleys of dreams.
The morning skies birth sights of indigo;
then afternoon shines bright in cobalt blue
till late sun dips low tied in sapphire bows.
Lost childhood mirth stills with ebony hues.
Spring days please save me golden strands of light
to reminisce when I am older still.
One more hour of precious rays 'fore night
to drive away the clinging winter chill.
I'll wish for sky's daystar to save a dance,
then hold me close in warmth of springtime's trance.

...and through the morning clouds
rays of sunshine show,
flashing off the tulips,
setting their colours aglow.
Daffodils point their faces
toward the sunlight beams
on this tranquil morning
as dew on petal gleams.
Welcome is the Spring,

for this season of rebirth
flies away so fast.
My garden, newly planted,
in colours radiant and true,
is Nature's blessed therapy
as I enjoy the view.

Sunward tilts the Earth;
steals away last shade of spring–
sempiternal day…
~ Harley White
< June 20, 2014 ~ haiku >
Copyright © Harley White | Year Posted 2015
The dark green forests cover the earth with pine , straight and tall , all in a line
Fragrant and soft ,quiet and clean
Gentle giants grow in all sizes, sacred and true, waiting to be seen
The wind stirs through branches and whispers its quick goodbyes ,
While making music that gently soothes the soul
Of one who lies with in my fragrant cocoon, seeking replies
My carpets of needles, warm and sweet, quiet my step and cover my feet
The chickadees, black capped and white, fly to my side
One by one they stop and say hi ,As they pass merrily by
Raccoons, squirrels, rabbits and owls ,gossiped and chattered and told all they knew
And the pine smiles and sings to hear all the news
Their tracks are scattered everywhere ; dotted or round, a pattern or two, give a puzzle, a clue as to what they have been up to
My scent carries in the breeze ,sparkling and green , pungent and clean
The sun beats down , strong and warm ,true to form, it gives me life and keeps me warm
The wind bends and sways my boughs, and I whisper of coolness and dew
The rains splash gentle and sweet to feed my soul and nourish my retreat
For any who listen to hear my silent heartbeat
In our magnificent wilderness home, deep and calm, where our waters run pure and we cant be found
We live whole through all the seasons and for every action we have a reason
All summer long I grow nuts and cones to feed all my friends
I will replenish the earth , nor do I waste, for all I have I lend
In winter, I lay refreshed , sparkling and white, covered in blankets of snow
As I sit and doze I hear the earth speak in tones very low,
She calls and I listen ,sleep, sleep for I am here
Protecting watching caring for all, in things that I do
I gather myself in her darkest womb awaiting the way, that first warm spring day
It is spring and my blood runs strong, make more of me it calls, as I grow big and strong
Awake, awake for it is my time again , the sun ,wind , rain, and tiny feet
To gently sit and play all day long
In the sun and rain silently watching waiting all day long

Gazing out my window screen
I picture fields of gold.
Beholding sights so long unseen
and stories gone untold.
The wonders of Spring unfold.
Sunshine dripping from the sky
and falling on my shoulder.
Flowers giving another try
and squirrels growing bolder-
the earth's another year older.
Easter bonnets soon we'll wear
and dresses made of lace.
Ribbons and flowers in our hair
put smiles upon our face.
Of snow there's not a trace.
Sunshine fills the freshened air
while everyone's delighted.
Buds are blooming everywhere
and butterflies are sighted.
Winter's wrongs are righted!

The sun shone brightly at last
On this breezy spring day
A black cat stalked a yellow bird in play,
As he stepped lightly across the fields of grass
Covered with dew , Alarmed , the bird flew
Leaving the cat with nothing to do
The sun shone brightly
on this breezy spring day
As the mouse appeared suddenly
through the field of grass
And once again the cat turned to play
The warmth of spring will soon ring out
of life brought forth anew.
Each barren tree and hill now dark
as pewter, green and true.
From warmer climes the migrant birds
fly north and seek to nest.
They mate co-joined in nature's maze
and parent to their best.
The myriad of earthly life
produce offspring in time.
Those witnessing this grand display
see life rich and sublime.
Warm rains enrich the soil and fill
each river, lake, and pond.
The waters fuse with elements
as brave, new life is spawned.
Spring winds from gust to zephyr flow
across this sphere's broad face.
The earth and sky sing out of growth
and shine with verdant grace.
As souls we often opine of
the seasons which is best.
When our sun climbs high in its arc
all life on earth is blessed.
Spring Rings Out
Common Verse

It's been dull and dreary for months on end.
The chill of winter is lingering long,
Invading my bones and disturbing my mind.
How I wish this season would hurry along.
Waking this morning I glanced out my window,
Expecting more snow, more clouds, more gray.
But to my surprise and immense delight,
Golden sunlight is in full display!
Here comes the sun in all of its glory,
To warm up the earth and begin its rebirth.
The ice will soon melt and nature awaken,
With colorful flora sprouting up from the earth.
Here comes the sun, see it rise in the east,
Feel its warmth on your face at midday.
Winter's sojourn is coming to an end.
Hallelujah! Spring is on the way.

Ah, the september weather is here,
the trees turn firery red and orange,
and the leaves gently fall to the surface.
Fall is here,
and the grass turns from green to yellow,
the souls of many change their ways.
From going on beaches in sun
to walking on wet streets,
with jackets on.
September weather is here,
too most it is depressing to see,
such change in the world.
But I love it.
The girlfriends and boyfriends go away,
and that makes me happy.
Then I go apple picking.
I pick red apples,
from low, hanging apple trees.
and I eat one, while walking down the trail.
Fall is here,
the time of death,
the last of sunshine.
I don't argue,
I love fall,
it is so cosy and it gives me hope.
Hope that a day will come again,
when the sun pops its head out
and the warmth returns.
September weather is the best,
when summer is gone, but not quite,
and the cool breeze sweaps through your open windowpane.
I love fall,
it gives me hope,
that with death comes life.

so far the days of singing rays
have come to meet their sullen end
twixt nights of joy with hidden ploy
a sweetly tone, they do offend
O gasp! the serpent true must strike
O gasp! the lustful raging psych
whose cares are lost forever long
roaring out, O hear my song!
now mute...peace...whist...still
ideas soon drain, decisions fill
a mind at pace with thoughts that spill
float soundlessly thy solstice chill
the misty seep, foreboding reap
emotions run amok like thieves
for darkly cast, a favored past
along is lain misguided leaves

The sun dances around
Smiling brightly down at earth
Spring is here at last!
The sun's hands reach down
Warming everything
After a cold winter
Buds and flowers open up
Looking at the sky with gratitude
The trees wave their branches
Saying thank you to the sun
They all agree,
Spring is their favorite season

Love was as hot as a red moon.
Passion was on fire and was soothed.
A total lunar eclipse occurred on April 15.
The moon was coopery red.
The warmth of her blood was astrologically aligned.
Mother Earth was with her Sun God.
She stood majestically in his eyes.
The core of his being was a deep arousal of desire.

The calming sounds of birds chirping fills the air,
The smell of flowers just beginning to bloom,
The sight of the green coming back to the grasses life,
The feeling of being engulfed by a blanket of sun,
Spring has arrived.
The sound of lackluster lawn mowers starting back up,
The smell of fresh food being grilled on the patio,
The sight of sun rays beaming through the sky,
The feeling of riding around with your windows down,
Spring has arrived.
The sound of wood crackling in a toasty bonfire,
The pleasant smell of freshly cut grass,
The sight of waves crashing along the shoreline,
The feeling of having a slight breeze on a nice day,
Spring has arrived.
The sound of children back playing outside,
The smell of fresh rain caked to the air after a storm,
The sight of birds darting through the crisp air,
The feeling of cold lake water touching your feet,
That's when you can tell,
Spring has arrived.

The wind blows the rainbows down
Turns your frown upside down
Then spins it back around
The sun hides the moon
Underneath its coat in bloom
The flowers came late this June
The rain in a teardrop
Falls like dew from a leaf
When she looks at me
See that look upon her face
Used to take her to the stars
Now she's headed back from Mars
Now that Venus loves her more
Wouldn't throw her to the floor
Like before

The Tree and I
I met a tree today while walking under cloud ridden skies. She was a young oak past her sapling age. Her bare branches, still in winters hold, stood stark against an evergreen backdrop. I felt her loneliness seep into my being, so I slipped over and gave her a hug. I whispered to her, "I know lonely too", and heard an audible sigh within her wind swept branches.
a young oak
stands bare in winter's keeping---
brown carpeted ground
After a length of time, undetermined, I slid to the ground and leaned against her trunk. I was content to keep her company for a short time on such a dreary day. Nowhere else did I need to be. No one else did I need to see. So, I leaned my head gently against her rough bark and as we both shared a quiet moment of contemplations.
a woman sits
at the base of a tree---
cloud laden sky
Eventually I felt the cold and damp seeping into my skin and I shivered. The young oak felt this and spoke to the breeze in her highest limbs. She asked it to blow the clouds from the face of the sun so that we could both enjoy the warm rays… and so it was that we were both sun kissed on this early morning day.
clouds drift
away from the sun---
a girl smiles
This soon became a daily ritual, loneliness drifting away with each visit. She listened to me, as I listened to her, and time flew more quickly by. Spring arrived before we knew it as the young oak beamed with her new buds. It seemed our visits now became less lonely, filled as we were with the awakening of Mother Earth.
new buds
on a young oak---
birds singing
I shared with her and her with me, throughout the winter's days. We laughed together and wept together during the longest of lackluster days. A friendship formed of kindred spirits that helped chase the blues away. With spring's awakening, our confidence gaining, we rejoice in the birth of each new day.
green grass
returns to the lawn---
daffodils bloom

The wind crept up - the skies ever so dark
Black, slick, clouds and calamity enters thy soul
Dreary! It chatters and limbs they fly
No sun upon thy face - beaming with hue
Those clouds they swarm in darkness
Rain - it pours - flooding the earth
Bewildered I look up at this blustering sky
The trees are dead, It's spring - yes death
Roses in the ground with the trickling raindrops
The April showers - You haven't a clue
True grit! The soil now nurtured
The roots - feeding on this phenomena
And yet when the sun shines soon
Day after day - trees will come to life
And roses in bloom- life after winter death
In awe I see this beautiful imagery
In my brain, as I see the pouring rain
My mind - I visualize - the beauty
Thus, why does it expose calamity?
Beauteous be the wonder in my eyes
And how I love those dark dreary skies
A rosebud in my teeth - I see
Is extraordinary and so is the tree
Let there be rain as it nurtures the soil
And with the chatter of the wind, let there be turmoil
Again in my brain, I can truly love this day
I see life in the rain that is pouring today.

It's been two days since Reeves Nelson last played a basketball game.
It will be another 48 hours before he plays his next.
But as he sits in the press room at UCLA on Tuesday, the Bruins sophomore forward resembles a prize fighter moments away from a championship bout.
Crouched over, head titled down, a pair of steely eyes focused straight ahead.
Only he isn't preparing himself for a fight, or a game.
The opponent on this day is a group of reporters, each of whom is about to invade his space for the next 30 minutes or so.
Nearly two years into his UCLA career, Nelson is used to the routine.
Tuesday during basketball season in Westwood is media day, which means he has to sit around answering a bunch of questions.
But it doesn't mean he has to like it.
Why would he?
Dealing with the media means talking to some of the very people who have knocked him and doubted him for as long as he can remember.
It means entertaining questions from non-believers, skeptics who still have reservations about Nelson and the Bruins.
It's not quite a waste of time, but let's say Nelson would rather be doing just about anything else right about now.
"What writers and people who don't really play basketball think about us doesn't really matter," he said.
The funny thing is, it does matter.
To Nelson, that is.
As we learned Saturday, Nelson memorizes every negative article, every critique of his game.
The complaints are short but to the point.
Nelson doesn't play defense.
Or worse, won't.
It's an accusation that gnaws at him.
That much is certain after he looked straight into a camera Saturday and called out the name of a website reporter who has criticized his defense.
And that was after Nelson played his best game of the season in UCLA's stunning blowout win over No. 10 Arizona - scoring 27 points and grabbing 16 rebounds while holding high-scoring Wildcats' forward Derrick Williams to just two points in the second half.
Williams is considered a potential NBA lottery pick, and Nelson made him disappear by hounding and pressuring all over the court, denying him the ball and forcing him out of his comfort zone.
And he did it willingly, imploring UCLA coach Ben Howland late in the first half to let him guard Williams the rest of the game.
In the process, the Bruins ran through the Wildcats to forge a tie with them for the Pac-10 lead.
It was a great UCLA victory and an even better performance by Nelson, one he rightfully should have embraced and enjoyed.
But he couldn't let the moment go and called out one of his doubters for everyone to see.
In doing so, he revealed quite a bit about himself.
Nelson is playing with a sizable chip on his shoulder.
One that pushes, impels and implores him.
And here is the thing: He admits it.
"Any little thing that can push you to go that much harder, anything like that, you can always use it as motivation," Nelson said.
More power to him.
If Nelson feeds off negativity, so be it.
If callous words and criticism motivate him, here is hoping he keeps on reading and compartmentalizing.
Because when Nelson plays with anger and impetus, it's usually a good thing for the Bruins.
"If that's motivating him, then you need to write more stuff that will do that to him," UCLA coach Ben Howland said.
Howland was joking, but he makes a good point.
Whatever it takes for Nelson and the Bruins to keep winning basketball games, by all means keep doing it.
Even if it's playing angry to prove people wrong.
UCLA hasn't rebounded from one of its worst seasons in decades to sit on the brink of a Pac-10 championship by being pleasant and polite.
They've done it by getting down and dirty, digging as deep as any Howland-coached UCLA or Pitt team to restore order after a season from hell.
And Nelson has led the way, playing with fury and rage.
It's an anger that has taken the young Bruins from an uneven start to a resounding crescendo, winning 12 of their past 14 to pull into a tie for the conference lead.
It culminates tonight and Saturday with games at Washington and Washington State, but even if UCLA comes up empty on the Pac-10 title the conference tournament beckons next week and after that a probable trip to the NCAA tournament.
"We want to see where this season takes us," Nelson said.
The turnaround has caught everyone by surprise - save for the very people responsible.
The bad taste from last year was all the motivation they needed.
"We sat down and talked with each other about not letting it happen again," Nelson said.
And they didn't.
But while Nelson is content with the Bruins to date, he isn't satisfied.
"We're happy where we're at, but we're going to keep on building," he said.
Besides, there is still unfinished business.
Too many doubters and skeptics to convert into believers.

I got these today and ripped it open like my three year old attacks candy! I bought them using my points, but I would pay full price without blinking an eye. I used the patches and they feel amazing. They are very easy to apply and use and my bags almost disappeared, and that's something since I just came off my third night shift. This is going into my beauty toolkit.5
I travel a lot, and I love that these are wrapped individually. After long flights, or if I am expecially drowsy, I stick these in the hotel fridge for 10 minutes and then put a pair on. They always leave the skin under my eyes more smooth and refreshed. As far as preventing wrinkles, i'm not entirely convinced. But they're not hurting in that department. I buy these all the time. Love them. Staple item.5

The period of Otto (1830-1862)
A bit after the Ottomans had yielded Acropolis to the Bavarian detachment, the Bavarian officials decided to make Athens the capital of the newly born state, on the 14th of June 1833. King Otto would move to the new capital in December 1833; his arrival to Athens was celebrated by the whole population of Athens. The first residence of the king was at the actual Klafthmonos square, in the nice buildings that today house the Museum of the City of Athens. It is in this period that were planted the high trees that still survive at the southern part of the square.

At the same time the architects Stamatios Kleanthis and Gustav Edouard Schaubert were appointed to work out a plan of the development of modern Athens, which would have to replace the older one in ruins. The architects worked hard and were ready very soon; they designed wide streets, open spaces and big blocks, following the concept of town planning of the period. However, the plan met with strong opposition by the landlords whose properties were involved. The solution was given by Ludwig, the philhellene father of Otto and king of Bavaria, who charged his court architect Leo von Klenze to review the plan; this latter left the old part of the town almost intact and designed a totally new part at the north.The place of the new palace seemed to be the most puzzling issue of the architects; there were several suggestions, one of which considered the Acropolis as the most appropriate place (!), but luckily enough it was decided to build the palace at the low height opposite the actual Syntagma square; it is the building that now houses the Greek Parliament. Queen Amalia took care for the planning and realization of the so-called Royal Park, now renamed in National Park, an oasis within the heart of modern Athens.
It is in this period that are dated the wide boulevards of the city and some of the most imposing and beautiful public buildings of various styles, as the ophthalmic hospital realized by the Danish architects Hansen brothers; also wealthy Athenians, diplomats and tradesmen from Constantinople, who decided to settle in Athens, had their mansions made in the new part of the city. One of the most characteristic cases of this was the eccentric duchess of Plaisance who had several houses built both in Athens and in the suburbs, among which the building actually housing the Byzantine and Christian Museum and the mansion at Pendeli, actually used for cultural events. Nice buildings, mostly hotels, were erected along central roads as Ermou and Athenas streets. In 1837 it was founded the University of Athens, initially housed in Plaka, at the impressive house of the architect Kleanthis. A few decades later, the University moved in the simple and austere building of Panepistimiou Street and was "framed" by the equally nice and imposing buildings of the National Library and of the Academy.
It is in these times that a lot of craftsmen and workers from other places of Greece, mainly from Cyclades, came in mass to work in Athens. As they needed a place to stay they built up two neighborhoods which extended the city, but without any planning. Some of the newcomers settled around the church of Zoodohos Pighi (actually at Akadimias street); the quarter was given the name Proastio (suburb). Many people, most of them coming from the small island of Anafi, settled on the rocky foothill at the northern part of Acropolis, as the place resembled a lot to their home landscape; ever since the place is called Anafiotika. Also, several tradesmen of Jewish origins came to Athens; they founded their stores at the newly constructed Ermou Street. The area of actual Exarhia square was settled mostly by students, as the place was very close to the University; the new quarter was given the name Neapolis ("the new town"). Another quarter, settled by workers, was established around the silk industry and was called Metaxourgio after this industry; at the beginning the name of the quarter was Nea Sfera ("the new sphere"). More workers' quarters were gradually established at Petralona, at Thesseio and elsewhere. And, around these newly founded quarters, shepherds grazed their flocks and brought fresh milk at the city center.
It is in the same period that many Byzantine churches were demolished in order to uncover the ruins of more ancient buildings, as the epoch encouraged return to antiquity. Apart from that, several other Byzantine churches were renovated or restored, without taking into account their initial design. Kapnikarea, Agioi Theodori and a few more churches, mainly of the 10th and 11th centuries were saved at the last moment. Finally, in 1862, by the end of the reign of Otto, it was completed the Cathedral.
Several excavations were carried out and many archaeological sites were restored, some successfully, some others not. In 1837 it was founded the Greek Archaeological Society which ever since was responsible for all archaeological activities. It was also raised the need for an Archaeological Museum which was initially housed in the well preserved ancient temple of Thesseio, until the actual building of Patission Street was completed.
Meantime, in about 1840 it was designed and constructed the new road to Piraeus which had already started to develop, along with the town that was extended around the old port. Until 1843 all plans about expansion ad planning of the city was in the hands of the Bavarian officers and officials of the State. After the revolt of the 3 rd of September 1843 that obliged Otto to assign a Constitution, the Bavarians were expelled from government, as during their domination they had behaved as conquerors and not as officers appointed to serve an independent state. However, if the domination of the Bavarians ended, it was not the same with the interventions of the great powers, who not merely intervened, but it was them that set the policy of the Greek government. A fact that is confirmed in various cases in the future, as the Pacifico case, the Piraeus harbor blockade by the British and French fleets, which resulted in a cholera epidemic, or the rebellion that resulted in the dethronement of Otto in October 1862

Pack less. Be more.
SOLD!!! Reduced my load quite a bit in last several months and the Circuit is just to much pack. Pack was used on one overnight trip and is excellent condition. Really almost new. Medium torso/small hipbelt. I removed the hand loops that clip on shoulder straps and can't find them. Sorry, but I'm sure ULA would be moe than happy to send some pretty inexpensively. $165 shipped CONUS via paypal.
Still available!
Now $165
Is this the newest model? When was it purchased? What shoulder straps?
Can't say for sure it's their latest. But I bought here on BPL late last Winter. I think it's early 2013/late 2012. The person had not had it long. J-straps for shoulder. Hope this helps.
Do you know how much the prior owner used it?
Don't think he used much if at all. It was in like new condition when I got it. And really still is. Except the hand loops. Sorry took those off trying to lighten up and ow can't find them. I do have the hydration sleeve and internal mesh pocket.

Lecture at the Smithsonian Associates:Holy Icons of Medieval Russia, by Dr. Scott Ruby
Location: OFFSITE: S.Dillon Ripley Center, 1100 Jefferson Drive, S.W., Washington, DC
Part of:
This program by the Smithsonian Associates takes place at the S. Dillon Ripley Center on the National Mall, and features Hillwood's curator of Russian and Eastern European art, Dr. Scott Ruby.
One of the greatest art "discoveries" of the 20th century was the icon. For some it represents the precious inheritance of a distant past, for others it is an object of aesthetic delight, and still others perceive its spiritual light. Icons are considered an integral part of the spiritual fabric of old Russia, and they have long adorned monasteries, churches, and homes.
However, interest in medieval icons is a relatively recent development. In the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, many ancient icons were cleaned of layers of over-painting, and the process re-introduced the world to the startling beauty of Russia's medieval era.
Dr. Scott Ruby, curator of Russian and Eastern European art, examines how the appreciation and understanding of medieval icons developed, as well as some of the aspects of medieval iconography that differentiate it from the work of later centuries. Focusing on the great treasures of the period, Ruby looks at some of the superlative icons of Andre Rublev, a Russian monk who some consider the greatest icon painter. He also discusses how icons function in the context of public and private devotions.

Dear Editor,
Thursday afternoon when I came out of the Wal-Mart in Bardstown, my car would not start. A wonderful lady by the name of Lanette, who was parked front-to-front with me, offered her cell phone so that I could call home and AAA.
While I waited for AAA to arrive, Lanette went into the store and did her shopping. When she returned she had a Pepsi for me. Two other women and one man also stopped by and offered to help.
It's an embarrassment to say that I've never been a good shot with a rifle and I come from Washington County.
I don't know about Abraham Lincoln, but his Uncle Mordecai was lethal with a musket. He once shot an Indian off Abraham's father, Thomas, when he was a kid. Needless to say, Mordecai was always Abraham's favorite uncle.
In addition, this is the land where I routinely see kids in the paper with rifles taller than they are, standing next to a deer they just shot.
It won't be long before it's vacation time.
I don't know about you, but I always feel like I need a vacation after a family vacation any more. Young people with all their energy will flat wear you out. Still, young kids and funny incidents seem to go together, and can make things "interesting." It may not always seem funny at the time for the parents, but later, after you've settled down, it can bring a smile.
Here's an example.
It's 2009, and the world just keeps on changing.
The way we do things these days is not the same as it was 20 years ago, or even 10 or five years ago, for that matter.
Our TVs are now digital, our phones are now almost all cellular, and our news comes at us from every direction, 24 hours a day.
My second oldest came to me one evening and said with all the courage she could muster, "Daddy, I'm ready to learn how to drive."
I looked up from my Lazy Boy recliner and said, "Really."
I was actually standing up next to the recliner when she spoke. My reply came after I was revived.
I enjoy teaching teenagers how to drive.
President Obama, trying to jump start the economy, is using a series of stimulus packages in an effort to save banks and the major auto companies.
President Lee Todd, trying to jump start the Big Blue Nation, is using John Calipari as his stimulus package to save what? Basketball bragging rights?
This hiring move doesn't have even the patina of hope and encouragement that Kentuckians need to get through the next few years.
In this day of economic turmoil, paying a basketball coach nearly $32 million over a period of eight years is ludicrous.
"Be not afraid."
It's pretty scary out there, isn't it?
You know what I mean.
It doesn't matter where you work. It's like everything has dropped off a cliff. Most families are nervously waiting to see what happens next, if it hasn't already.
Since this is Child Abuse Prevention Month, I wondered if you might like to hear from a victim.
I'm a resident of Springfield. My family is well known. One of my parents is still living, and so to protect my innocent siblings, I wish to remain anonymous.
By the age of 5, I was called a whore. I didn't know what one was, but I knew it must be bad.
From the beatings I received, I learned to run really fast, and I have never let myself get caught in a corner of a room.
I learned never to trust anyone.

SERVOsoft is an indispensable tool for
drive systems suppliers, machine manufacturers, mechanical, electrical and application engineers who work with servo systems. SERVOsoft® sizes complete servo systems, not just a single axis motor and inverter, but all components of a multi-axis servo system including rotary and linear motors, gear motors, gearboxes, couplings, linear actuators, drives, inverters, infeed, capacitor and bleeder modules, with 14 mechanisms and up to 40 axes in a shared bus or stand alone configuration.
Sequences & Motion Profiles
Create sequences with S-curve/Jerk, CAM and Polynomial profiles. Import from Excel, ASCII, and other external tools. Define load formulae for payload and thrust. View any profile, including motion, torque, current, power, etc. in the Sequence chart. SERVOsoft models dynamic profiles from the load to the power plug!
14 Drive Mechanisms
More mechanisms than any other sizing tool in the industry, with rotary with unbalanced load, dual stage mechanisms like the rack conveyor, highly configurable ball screw mechanism, as well as dynamic load mechanisms like center and surface driven winders and the slider crank.
Up to 40 Axes
Create projects with up to 40 axes in one project in a shared bus or stand alone configuration. Capture the complete system in ONE project file, where multi-axis calculations provide for detailed power flow and energy storage analysis, and accurate energy consumption and energy cost of the entire system.
