GridView is a tremendously useful control in ASP.NET 2.0. Despite being much improved from the DataGrid of the ASP.NET 1.x era, GridView still lacks some features which always seem to be requested. This is a multipart post on how to customize GridView to add some of this missing functionality. I'll post the full source code at the end of the series. Hopefully this will be useful to everyone.
One of the most needed improvements is the ability to edit multiple rows at once. By default, GridView allows users to modify only one row at a time, and requires the user to postback many times to switch between editable rows. Here is a quick look at the "Out of the Box" GridView.
This is not the greatest user experience, so we'll start by allowing the user to modify all of the rows before saving. To begin, we will create a custom control which inherits from GridView. This will allow us to override and change some of the behavior we don't like. One of the first things we want to change is how the rows get created.
public class BulkEditGridView : System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView
protected override GridViewRow CreateRow(int rowIndex, int dataSourceIndex, DataControlRowType rowType, DataControlRowState rowState)
return base.CreateRow(rowIndex, dataSourceIndex, rowType, rowState | DataControlRowState.Edit);
What we have done here is make sure that every row which gets created has a rowstate of Edit, meaning it's editable. Since the row is now editable, the columns that are NOT read-only will show up as textboxes (for boundfields) or what ever their EditItemTemplate is. Here is a look at our grid.
Wow! Looks great … are we done yet … um … not quite. That would be great if that was all we had to do, but unfortunately there is a bit more. Notice that there is no way to save our changes, which might be a <sarcasm>minor</sarcasm> problem for our user. In ASP.NET 1.X, we might have just added a Save() function and made developers add code to the code-behind file to call our function. Well, this is now a 2.0 world, and we are going to create a great design time experience. We'll allow developers to set the SaveButtonID on our grid, and we'll take care of setting up all the event handlers.
public string SaveButtonID
string val = (string)this.ViewState["SaveButtonID"];
if (val == null)
return string.Empty;
return val;
this.ViewState["SaveButtonID"] = value;
The IDReferenceProperty tells Visual Studio that this property contains the ID of another property on the page. This way you get a nice dropdown of control ids in the Properties Window. It's just nice "fit and finish" that makes our control that much more developer friendly.
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
//Attach an event handler to the save button.
if (false == string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.SaveButtonID))
Control btn = RecursiveFindControl(this.NamingContainer, this.SaveButtonID);
if (null != btn)
if (btn is Button)
((Button)btn).Click += new EventHandler(SaveClicked);
else if (btn is LinkButton)
((LinkButton)btn).Click += new EventHandler(SaveClicked);
else if (btn is ImageButton)
((ImageButton)btn).Click += new ImageClickEventHandler(SaveClicked);
//add more button types here.
private void SaveClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
The developer doesn't have to write any C# to get the save button to save data!! Thats a great developer experience, and the kind of standard we should hold ourselves to. Of course, we want to be flexible and we will expose the Save() method publically so developers CAN access this programatically if they want. We have added support for Buttons, LinkButtons, and ImageButtons, but there could be more controls you want to include. The click event of all these controls is routed to the same SaveClicked handler which calls Save(). Pretty simple.
On a Tangent: You might wonder what the RecursiveFindControl function is. Why can't we just use FindControl? Well, FindControl() works great when we are not using MasterPages, but if our grid is in a different ContentSection than the Button, FindControl() won't find the control we are looking for. FindControl() is scoped to the NamingContainer that our control exists in. To work around this, we recusively climb the tree of NamingContainers to find our button.
And now on to actually saving. One thing we want to do, is make sure that we don't save rows that have not changed. Well, how do we know if a row changes? We have to watch for it to change.
protected override void InitializeRow(GridViewRow row, DataControlField[] fields)
base.InitializeRow(row, fields);
foreach (DataControlFieldCell cell in row.Cells)
if (cell.Controls.Count > 0)
private void AddChangedHandlers(ControlCollection controls)
foreach (Control ctrl in controls)
if (ctrl is TextBox)
((TextBox)ctrl).TextChanged += new EventHandler(this.HandleRowChanged);
else if (ctrl is CheckBox)
((CheckBox)ctrl).CheckedChanged += new EventHandler(this.HandleRowChanged);
else if (ctrl is DropDownList)
((DropDownList)ctrl).SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(this.HandleRowChanged);
void HandleRowChanged(object sender, EventArgs args)
GridViewRow row = ((Control) sender).NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
if (null != row && !dirtyRows.Contains(row.RowIndex))
private List<int> dirtyRows = new List<int>();
Adding XxxxxChanged handlers to the controls allows us to know when a control in a row changed values. If any value in the row changes, we mark the row as "dirty". Like with the buttons, I have added some of the most common input controls. You may wish to add additional ones. Additionally, TemplateFields might have nested controls, so you might want to recursively look for controls.
I'm sure that you have already figured out what our save method will look like. Just loop through the dirty rows and save them.
public void Save()
foreach (int row in dirtyRows)
this.UpdateRow(row, false);
Using the GridView's UpdateRow() function allows our save to behave just like the "Out of the Box" save. An associated DataSourceControl will be used to update the data, the RowUpdated event will fire, and everything else the basic save does. Finally, here is the ASPX.
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="SaveButton" Text="Save Data" />
<blog:BulkEditGridView runat="server" id="EditableGrid" DataSourceID="AdventureWorks" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="LocationID" SaveButtonID="SaveButton" >
<asp:BoundField DataField="LocationID" HeaderText="LocationID" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="LocationID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Availability" HeaderText="Availability" SortExpression="Availability" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="CostRate" HeaderText="CostRate" SortExpression="CostRate" />
I wrote this to give you a basic understanding of how to create a bulk edit GridView. Of course there are many enhancements you could add to this. Perhaps you only want some of the rows to be editable, not all of them. Or, you want the grid to not be editable until the user clicks an "edit everything" button. Maybe you would like all of the changes to complete in a transaction. And probably you want this to do something I haven't even thought of (I would like to know if you come up with something though). I've added some of these enhancements for customers on projects, and most of them are not that difficult to implement.
NOTE: These comments are the authors own thoughts, and do not represent an official Microsoft recommendation. This post is for educational purposes only.
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for the feedback!! Based on several of your comments, I have incorporated an inline insert into the grid (still very beta). Also I have attached the source code as a zip for those people who can't see the Got Dot Net workspace. I can't promise I'll keep the attachment up to date, but the workspace will always have the latest.
UPDATE (JAN 2007): Updated source code is now available on CodePlex, and it should be easier to download than it was on GotDotNet.

I was reading the paper from home today and I came across a story about NY's fine mayor. He likes to visit the island as often as he can. He owns an estate there......and he travels with an two armed cops!!! Are you kiddin me?!?!?!?!?!
Here is the link to the story from the Royal Gazette:
The Royal Gazette
And from the Times:
New York?s Mayor, but Bermuda Shares Custody - NYTimes.comThe mayor also takes along a police detail when he travels, flying two officers on his private plane and paying as much as $400 a night to put them up at a hotel near his house; the city pays their wages while they are there, as it does whether Mr. Bloomberg is New York or not. Guns are largely forbidden in Bermuda even most police officers do not use them but the mayors guards have special permission to carry weapons. A spokesman for the Police Department declined to comment.

What a hypocrite!

Piece of garbage....thanks Mr Mayor. Stay out of Virginia...or, come back and play your games again...I would love to see your new jewelery and mug shot as you're put in lock-up.

His response and those who would defend him is that he is the mayor of NY...And he is one of the worlds wealthiest persons and so by those two factors alone his degree of 'value' as a person of interest and threat is high and with that a need for his security.
Everyone else they are just normal people.

That would put him right up there with another, "do as I say, not as I do", jerk. Al Gore.
No, he really doesn't hate guns, he actually likes guns, the ones in the hands of his bodyguards that is.
Now he really hates guns in the hands of private law-abiding citizens.

You all sound surprised!
This is a guy who changed political parties (from which to which doesn't matter) just to get re-elected, then ram-rodded a new NYC statute through which eliminated the 2-term limit for mayor.
Clearly, a man who stands up for his principles. Principles du jour.

I personally do not see a problem with this. He is a high risk target. Some of you think Obama wants to take away our guns but yet he is surrounded by them for his protection.
As a high risk target does he not deserve the right to be properly protected because he is anti-gun?
Mr. Mayor =
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
What irks me is this: he spends a few weekends on the island with armed guards. NYPD has no jurisdiction so they are just guards, while those that live on the island can't even carry a blade!! No one on the island is worried about that man!! I am in more danger walking to Church from my Nana's house than he is eating at Greg's or in his house at Tuckers Point (that's a whole other issue). If my family have to place their lives in the hands of BPD so should he!!!
I will address this with one simple response.
He knows information about the workings of our Government that none of you do. He is the Mayor of a major city. You are not. He is worth much more than I am when it comes to obtaining sensitive information.
If the bad people torture me what are the going to learn about the workings of NYC? I'm worthless to the people that desire to do great harm, he is not.
Yes, he deserves to be protected a lot more than your average citizen. He knows more than your average citizen. Some people deserve a higher right of personal protection because of who they are. I don't have a problem with that.
Do you people really want this man to fall into the hands of those that want to harm defenseless citizens? If you do, so be it. Personally, I don't want that to happen.

Darkness and Dreams
A series of dreams - snippets of people, places, times, stories (historical, fictional, or fantastical) - important events, or random everyday activities.
The character is ageless and sexless - his/her appearance changes from dream to dream. In fact, the only recurring them is his/her voice.
The meaning behind it? Reincarnation? The force of the universe? Hallucinations? Insomnia? Some other random phenomenon? You decide...
Darkness. It was everywhere, unbroken. It seemed to have swallowed me. Perhaps I was in a black hole. Time and space, which seemed to be connected to the presence of light, were meaningless. I could not even be bothered to ask myself what time it was or where I was, the way people are so prone to do, because the questions were simply irrelevant.
Perhaps I was dead. I had not ruled out the possibility. But to me, the ability to reason about it seemed to refute the conclusion. When I thought of death, I imagined that when it occurred I would stop thinking of it. Still, there was no way to know for sure. All I knew was darkness and my dreams.
I didn't mind the darkness. It was not uncomfortable or frightening. In fact it was very peaceful, like sleeping, except being conscious to enjoy every minute of it.
My dreams were chaotic in comparison. I never knew what to expect. Sometimes I would be drowning in an ocean. Other times I would be in a house somewhere, or perhaps a park or a desert or on a mountain. Sometimes I would be happy there. Sometimes I was imprisoned, or in pain, or afraid of someone or something.
The dreams seemed unconnected, like pieces from different puzzles that weren't meant to fit. In fact, the only thing that connected them all was me.
I didn't like to dwell on the logic, though. Just the colours and emotions and textures of them. How different they were from the darkness! So full of life and wonder and beauty.
My dreams were like adventures, and the darkness was my home.

Religion in public school is an issue that pops up from time to time. Usually, it's in a letter to the editor or a Facebook post claiming that there would be less bullying and violence if they allowed prayer in school.

Spring break from teaching at U of L falls conveniently during the week of St. Patrick's Day; which is also my target date for planting onions and potatoes. I typically manage a mid-March planting but the condition of the soil is my primary concern. I will not start digging until the soil dries out and is considered workable.
House Bill 1006, which passed in 2015, was supposed to reduce prison crowding in Indiana by sending more low-level felons back to the counties where they were convicted.
The idea was that the prisoners would be closer to their families, reducing the risk of recidivism after they finish their sentences.
But it turns out that what the state was doing was creating enormous headaches for counties. While state prison beds were emptying, county jails were being filled beyond capacity and county budgets were being severely challenged.
A recent story about charges being filed against a township trustee in Henry County for stealing taxpayer funds between 2013 and 2015 is unfortunately not surprising. It is yet another arrest in a long series of criminal incidents involving township employees that have occurred around the state.
The Indiana Chamber first communicated on the topic of local government reform and ongoing abuses by township officials nearly 20 years ago. The fact that we still must do so today is depressing and unforgivable.
President Donald Trump presented a budget outline last week that included a $54 billion increase in defense spending and an equivalent decrease in non-defense, discretionary spending. We think our nation would be better served by a budget doing the opposite in each of those areas.
Trump said the nearly 10 percent increase in the military budget is needed "to rebuild the depleted military of the United States of America at a time we most need it."
But our "depleted military" is a myth.

Perry Countians will mark the 43rd anniversary of the April 1974 outbreak of tornadoes that tore across several U.S. states. Nearly 150 tornadoes killed 319 people that day, including two citizens in Perry County.
Those of us old enough still have vivid memories of that day. Just last week tornadoes struck in nearby counties, including Dubois and Posey counties.

Mr Branson piled one of his favourite air hostesses, Freya Sones, straight off a flight from New York into his limo and headed for City-based Fidelity, intent on some boardroom disruption. She posed as a journalist to gate- crash a press lunch hosted by Fidelity's chairman, Barrie Batement, launching Fidelity's new corporate bond Pep. Once inside, she whipped off her outer garments to reveal her hostess origins - to the relief of one journalist, who feared the air hostess was a strip-o-gram for his birthday.
Ms Sones read out a challenge to Fidelity's bemused chairman that if Fidelity can keep customer prices low, Virgin will donate a week's holiday on Necker Island to a charity of Fidelity's choice.
Fidelity was too busy to comment - presumably trying to track the mole who leaked the lunch and let in Ms Sones. A small crumb of comfort for Fidelity? A holiday in the Caribbean is not an attractive prospect at the moment.
Steve Thompson, recruited by Credit Suisse First Boston UK to re-build its European sales team, is about to move across the water to join the sales team of CSFB in New York.
A salesman at heart, Mr Thompson found himself treading new water when he was moved to head the research department in 1994. He was made a managing director this year.
An announcement of Mr Thompson's replacement is imminent - and suitably heavyweight. Expect more new faces to follow shortly after.
The outrageous Donald Trump is at it again. The infamous tycoon now has the historic Seven Springs estate in the upmarket Westchester county suburb of New York in his sights. He has secured permission from the board of directors of Rockefeller University, the trustees of the property, to buy it, although his plans are raising some eyebrows.
Mr Trump wants to convert the 200-acre estate to an exclusive country club and golf course - so exclusive it has upset even the most wealthy of neighbours. Having secured the site for a bargain $7m - it has been on the market for three years at $9.75m - Mr Trump's proposed price for membership is a whacking $250,000 yearly.
Customers with pensions sold to them by the man from the Pru might like to take a look at how the Prudential is investing some of its own funds.
The Prudential has managed to collect around 240 pictures over the past 14 years. Its buying strategy? "To enhance the collection as a whole with the investment potential of individual works of art in mind", in the company's phraseology.
Most of this "investment" is hung in the main headquarters in High Holborn. But if it seems rather unfair that only the staff should enjoy the fruits of Prudential's investments, the company has decided to exhibit its foray into art at the City Antiques and Fine Art Fair at the end of September.Reuse content

~Wild World~/???? Info
< ~Wild World~
this wiki
|This was a game made by Yveltal717 .
|Full Name
|Date of Birth
|August 16th
|Fortissimo Town (Bewilder Woods)
???? (Mr.Buck or ミスター・バック) is one of the 12 male marriage candidates from the Fanon game, ~Wild World~ . He is a quiet ,but very determined Goatperson who takes residence and guards the ever elusive Bewilder Woods , which is to the north of Fortissimo Town. Not much is known about him, but he does take pride in what he does,especially when it comes to wood crafting and takes initiative,when it needs to be taken.
A mysterious Goat...Person...Thing? Who takes great pride in the work that he does. He is very tall , African-American,and has long,grey pierced pierced goat-like ears. He has a small black afro and smokey black hair/fur as well. One of his more defining features is that one of his arms is similar to that of a human,whilst the other one is more similar to that of a Goat. He also has Satyr like legs (also,coming equip with a very bushy tail). He has Jet black eyes and a crimson cape, that he wears around his shoulders.
How to Unlock?
To unlock Mr. Buck,you have to get the "Talisman of Flora" and Unlock the Bewilder Woods . After unlocking the aforementioned Woods,you must acquire the "Battered Basket" which is located not too far from the entrance of the woods. Being one of the largest areas in the game,the "Bewilder Woods" are quite hard to navigate through, but to get to where Mr. Buck resides, you must use these directions: (↑,↑,↓,↓,←,→,←,→,↑,→,↓ ). Though it may seem like you're walking back from where you came,you're actually walking on a secret path,that leads you straight to Mr. Buck,as the forest layout changes every time you enter a new section of the forest. After finding his residence and returning his basket to him,he will now be available as a Bachelor.
Reputation Events
Grey Happiness Event (First Encounter)
When you first find Mr. Buck he'll be outside with his pet bear Wuzzy, cutting lumber outside of his cabin. After he's done, he turns to find that you have been standing there and says this:
"SOMEONE FOUND THIS PLACE!? H-How did you find your way here....you must know this Forest extremely well....I knew this was going to happen eventually, please..don't tell anyone about this place or how to get here. Oh wait,is that my basket?? I've been looking everywhere for it, thank you"
Afterwards,he hands you a Superb Pine-Cone,that has a very pleasant scent and retreats back into his cabin, you can't follow him,as Wuzzy is guarding the entrance.
Purple Happiness Event (Timid Introductions)
If you continue to come to visit Mr.Buck, his purple heart event,will be achieved. Noticing that you have continuously visited him,he becomes more interested about you, and wonders why you haven't run away from him. He then comes up to you doing and saying this:
"......*Sticks out hand*...... " Hi my name is Dar- I mean... Mr.Buck it's very nice to meet you....., you're not like other people..you don't get scared...by me. Wow,that's very peculiar, I-it was nice to meet you, I must go now. I have some forest-based things to attend to"
After shaking his hand,he then retreats back into his house,and like before you cannot follow,as Wuzzy is guarding the entrance.
Cerulean Happiness Event (Welcome to my humble abode)
If you still continue to visit Mr. Buck his Cerulean Heart Event will eventually be achieved. After coming this time, Mr. Buck, asks him to follow him and will allow you to come into his house, and even introduces you to his pet bear,Wuzzy.
After this, the following is said: "Hey,*Insert your character's name here* I'm glad that I finally met someone who actually, doesn't call me a monster or want to kill me. Haha, i'm glad to have met you"
You are allowed to enter his house at any time, after this, and you befriend,Wuzzy.
Green Happiness Event (A gift..,For me?)

What you see shocks you as the house is a wreck and a goat monster is shaking in the corner, After a bit of denial, you then come to terms and accept that the monster is indeed Darrius and you approach him. As you get closer,he gets more and more violent,and in an attempt to calm him down,you hold out the first thing he ever gave you,the Pine-Cone. Darrius seems to recognize it as he calms down greatly, he then starts talking, although it sounds very gruff as he is still in his demon form,he says the following:
"Y-you still kept that,I gave that to you such a long time ago.....Why are you here,aren't you scared, I'm a monster... I don't know why this happens..I.... ."
You then nod your head,and kiss him. Once you do,he reverts back to the form that you are used to seeing him in,and blushes a lot. After getting over the kiss,he smiles at you,blushing a bit and says

"We've been through a lot. How could I say no to you. You are a very interesting (Guy)/(Girl) and I would love to spend the rest of my life with you.
you two then hold hands and share a kiss,under the billions of colors.

"The second I saw you,I knew you were different,you never left me....even when I did turn into a real monster, we're going to be happy together, I promise.."

This is not a urgent request or concern but more of a suggestion if anything. Is there a way to have Spiceworks seperate labor costs for different users?For example: As of right now we have a set cost for everyone but how about if we can say: Mr. Jason - $30.00, Mr. Doe - $15.00, Mr. Deer - $25.00, etc. Another thought would be to use the persons hourly wages ($17.00/hour, $15,00/hour, $9.00/hr, etc) for it to calculate cost. Just a suggestion and idea.

That would be a great idea for multiple user tech departments. As this is a first iteration of the Purchasing and labor tracking feature, this is something that certainly could be in the works.
To be sure it gets in the consideration, look through the feature requests and spice up any that pertain to this. Or, if you don't find one, create a new request.

LONDON (Reuters) – Thanks to shale, energy-producing states have been the strongest economic performers in the United States over the past decade, sharply improving their position compared with the energy-consuming states.
Only 13 of the 50 states produced more energy than they consumed in 2010, the latest year for which comprehensive data is available, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The other 37 were all net energy consumers, relying on some combination of interstate commerce or imports to meet the shortfall.
The shale revolution and the renaissance in US oil and gas production have resulted in a stark contrast between the fortunes of the two groups.
Eight of the 13 energy-producing states improved their relative position between 2003 and 2013 when ranked by per capita gross domestic product. They accounted for almost half of the 18 states that rose in the rankings.
By contrast, energy-consuming states have fared poorly. None of the 10 states with the largest energy deficits has improved its relative economic position since 2003. Nine of them have fallen in the ranking, in some cases sharply.
Energy producers also dominate in terms of raising real output per capita over the last decade, accounting for six of the 10 states with the biggest increases.
But none of them can rival North Dakota. Thanks to shale, the Peace Garden State has been (by far) the biggest winner, with per capital GDP up by more than 67 per cent since 2003, compared with nationwide increase of just 7 per cent.
Rapid income growth has catapulted North Dakota up the prosperity league. In 2003, state GDP per capita was ranked just 33rd in the nation, at just $41,000. By 2013, per capita GDP had soared to almost $69,000, putting it second only to Alaska.
In 2011, North Dakota's per capita GDP overtook California for the first time, and in 2013 it was more than $18,000 (29 per cent) higher.
Other top-10 GDP gainers since 2003 include energy producers Wyoming (up 24 per cent), Oklahoma (19 per cent), Alaska (18 per cent), Texas (17 per cent) and Arkansas (16 per cent).
Among the energy-producing states, only Colorado fell in the rankings, down seven places from 10th to 17th, with per capita GDP growing less than 5 per cent since 2003.
And the energy revolution bypassed Kentucky and West Virginia. Their coal-based economies failed to lift them out of relative deprivation, leaving them ranked 43rd and 47th, respectively.
It would be wrong to imply that energy production has been the only cause of success and failure among the states.
Some of the top performers are sparsely populated single-industry economies where rising prices and production of energy could easily lift GDP per capita. In that respect, the huge GDP gains in Texas are all the more remarkable.
By contrast, some of the worst performers, such as California and Florida, were at the centre of the subprime housing boom and bust and have yet to recover.

"FULL of herself!"
Yup, the writer of this book is over-the-top full of Gretchen! Even with that rather annoying aspect, I have listened to this fully about 3 times. I actually bought the book. I really had to get over Gretchen in order to benefit from what are rather good messages and strategies for becoming more awake and aware, of living in a state that supports happiness. I'm grateful to Gretchen even though she subjected me to things like writing a novel while she worked out a exercise program while she was extra nice to her husband while she planned a birthday party par excellence for her mother-in-law while she created family archives, and on and on, almost all simultaneously. She breaks it up into months, but the activity is so frenetic and so intense and constant that it can be exhausting. The best part is perhaps Gretchen's honesty although even that is excessive.
"I just can't...terrible narration & bad advice."
Probably not. She is terribly boring and too monotone to be narrating. I don't actually think she was successful in her happiness project.
She shouldn't narrate. Also, to be frank, she sounds like an UNHAPPY person, still, even though she supposedly went through this year of attempting happiness. Honestly, I feel like she missed the whole point. The book may have been more enjoyable read by a more lively person but, I just think it's a bad self-help book too because it's totally subjective to her life and doesn't make me feel motivated to take any of the same steps she took.
She was a terrible story teller, boring, monotone, and clearly just an achievement focused person who's view of happiness is, in my opinion, very skewed. It was also very difficult to tell the difference between when she was talking from first person or as someone else.
Maybe...only because perhaps it would be better portrayed by other actors.
As a therapist, I feel the need to advise people NOT to follow this woman's advice or even look to this book as a guide to happiness. It seems that, what may come off as funny if read directly from the book, is actually Gretchen's attempt to make light of times when she is actually quite unhappy....WHICH IS HEALTHY AND NORMAL TO BE. She puts a lot of blame on her husband for petty things and plays it off as "loving his quirks" when clearly, you can tell throughout that she is still pissed at him and seeking his approval through the project. Maybe I haven't gotten to it yet, but she rarely talks about how happiness simply comes from being in whatever state you're in, instead of trying to plan happiness. She rarely talks positively about her family, she admits she's motivated by "gold stars" and its obvious throughout that she is just seeking another big golden star by writing and selling this. If you want to listen to a woman's struggle with bringing her boring life somewhat more color, then you might like this. Besides some statistics, which I think are irrelevant to happiness anyway, this is not a useful book.
"How many "me's" and "I's" can there be in one book"
I appreciate the premise and the attempt here. Well written and good for what it was. Many"flakes of gold" and even a few laugh out loud moments. It just became tedious, and too self absorbed for my tastes, and written to a very narrow audience. But kudos to you Gretchen for making the effort and by the sounds of it this book has definitely made a positive impact in many people's lives.
"This has stayed with me...."
I listened to this book a couple of times as I was painting the walls on the first floor of our house a couple of years ago. Some sections I listened to more than once. I think that this was interesting as a story of one person's life, but not really anything ground breaking. I did, however, get some golden nuggets out of this book. My two favorites are 1) If it will take me less than one minute to take care of something that needs to be done, I will do it when first I notice it needs doing, and 2) When I am getting increasingly frustrated because my computer isn't working right, if I turn it off and then turn it back on again, 99% of the time, the problem is gone with the ReStart. While I am now tired of the genre of blogs into books, I did learn some things that I can honestly say have made me happier since I read this book.
"A good reminder of what's important"
Gretchen Rubin did a good job of reminding us that happiness, as is everything in life, is about decisions & process. Following her year long journey gave me a framework to guide my ongoing evolution.
This is a valiant if not vain attempt at trying to look into happiness. There is a bit of science mixed in with information but mostly self serving stories about someone trying to get attention for being happy. Unfortunately I didn't find this uplifting and although pedantic I didn't learn much. Regretful purchase.
This book and the narration are very dull. For a subject such as happiness, a little intonation and a sense of fun might have been a good approch to reading this.
The book itself is so incredibly trite, I could not believe it has even been published.
If you are looking for a book about happiness, check out The Happiness Hypothesis it is fantastic and fun.
First the positive. I really did find some interesting ideas and the author mentions several books about people I had not heard of that I plan to read in the future. I am grateful for that. So I got a few good things from the book.... But I almost stopped reading the book several times. Annoying, grating, self-absorbed... I felt like I was listening to her complain about a lot of petty things. Seems like the world must be at her beck and call. I applaud her for trying to improve herself, but....anyway I will just say the book rubbed me the wrong way and leave it at that. I do not recommend the book. It did more to irritate than to help....at least for me personally. I know many will love it and that's good. It just wasn't for me.....
Author had a couple of common sense ideas-nothing you've never heard before. Book overall showed the author's emotional immaturity as an adult, needing regular recognition for any effort and lack of control of angry outbursts with her children.
Also when did the trend of 'listing' in books become 'writing'? This is not the first book I have listened to where the author lists things...BORING.

Actually, it is not advised to have too many credit cards, so, consolidating your cards is a good thing to do, even though this can lower your credit score in the short run. Decide which cards you want to keep (for instance, old cards (in order not to shorten your credit history), cards with low rates and no annual fees or cards with the higher limit (mind your balance to limit ratio) and to close (for instance, not so old cards, cards with the higher rates and fees or cards with a low limit). Consider transferring your credit card balances, say, with the higher rates and fees onto a lower interest rate credit card. At our web site you can find attractive balance transfer credit cards that offer 0% introductory APR on balance transfers.

Leader (Part 3)Mature
Zane shook his hand, sending the last frozen pieces of the bandit's guts onto the ground. To be honest, he was a little disturbed by the sight of these men with their shattered bodies. When he had fought those men in Tav, the darkness had hid most of the gore from view. Here, on the open plains, they were uncomfortably visible.
He sighed. It wasn't like he cared about killing these bandits, though. They had attacked him and that filthy companion of his. Sands, he wondered if they had actually managed to kill her? He had lost sight of her in the midst of fighting. Had it not been for his extensive training for the last ten years, Zane wasn't sure he would have survived this. Parts of his clothing had been singed from the enemy's Flame and his cloak had been shred to pieces from some Mineral user.
"Hey there!" Oh sands no. Zane had hoped she had been killed. Almost. "I see you got hit. It's actually adorable, so I'll forgive you."
Zane turned to where Thorn stood. Sadly - and he really was sad about it - she didn't look to be injured anywhere. Unscarred Creator, was it too much to ask to make her get a little scratch? Something he could use against this filth?!
"They surrounded me," Zane said calmly, his anger sated for the time being, "I tend to ignore my clothing so long as I can survive." Despite the fighting having been a great stress relief, he still wanted to call her something. Filth was looking insufficient lately to properly describe how he felt.
"Maybe you can find a nifty new word in Silverbow, sweetie," Thorn said with a smile. Damn woman. She bent down to a bandit and pulled a small bag that gave off the sound of monetary orbs. From the size, it was probably a payment. Most bandits, according to the books and reports Zane had read, left all their money in their bases.
"They were probably payed to attack us," Zane said, trying to ignore the woman and her stupid grin. "And they were in a hurry."
"Well done! You would look cute in an Investigator Suit!" Thorn giggled a little, but continued before Zane could retort to her stupid comment. "Anyway, that's right. I'm surprised you read books on bandits, though. Looking to be a bad boy?"
Zane gritted his teeth. Be nice, Zane. She was trying to get him angry. "I read about them to discover how they fight," Zane explained calmly. He leaned down to the last bandit he killed and began sifting through his belongings. From the power of this one's Mystics, he was probably the leader. Maybe something would explain this attack. "If you learn how everyone fights and know how to counteract it, then you will never lose."
A giggle escaped Thorn. An annoying one, though that described all her sounds. "I beat you, remember? It was so cute, the way you-"
Zane threw a knife he salvaged from the bandit and hit the ground right beside where Thorn sat smiling. "I was unprepared. It will not happen again, you damn filth."
As if fanning the flames to his anger, Thorn simply smiled and pocketed the knife in the ground. Where did she keep those damn blades in that tight leather?
"You know, sweetie," Thorn said, "It's adorable how you think you can take me on." She stood and walked a little ways off, observing the many bodies Zane had shattered into pieces. "Anyway, these men were hired to get a beautiful girl like me." She winked. Filth.
"What makes you think they would want a woman who can't even cook?"
Thorn's smile faltered very slightly, but she regained it. A few days prior, she had tried to cook some animal called a rabbit for them. It had been half burnt when she was done. Zane was no cook, but he knew that was worse than most men cooked, let alone women. "I like my meat burnt, unlike some people," she said defensively. "And I thought it would befit a boy from the sandbox."
Zane cursed softly. "Why were they after you?" Change the subject before she latched onto something else to use against him. Sands, he wanted Arch so he could get away from her! Show up, stupid sandreaver! Just pop up so Zane could go back to Faerein!
A few steps took Thorn to another bandit. She pulled a money pouch full of orbs and looked inside. "Well, from what I read and these orbs being gold and copper. Not even a hint of silver. They were trying to get powerful Mystics users for a shady group in masks."
Masks? "Did you read anything else with that pesky mind of yours?" Zane asked, standing up and pocketing a second knife without thinking. "Anything that could lead us to them?"
Thorn looked thoughtful. She was obviously reading his mind at the moment. She knew what he was thinking. "I think you may be right. Your cute little brother was a talented Air user, so they might have taken him." She twirled and smiled at Zane. "See? I make everything easier!"
Zane grunted. "So, where were they hired?"
"I don't know," the woman said with a stupid singing tone. "But we know they were masked."
"I see." Sands! That was about as useful as her damn singing! Why was she excited about that?
Thorn started walking. "Well, lets be off to Silverbow. If we can't find anything there, we can head on to Arena City. Those masked men might run one of the underground fighting groups."
"So, essentially the only thing we have learned is that the men who took Arch is that they wear... masks?" Thorn nodded and kept strolling on like a damn lady after her first night of marriage. "Sands, woman! You're about as useful as a thin wall in a sandstorm!"
"Aww, don't be like that! It's not very adorable, like you usually are." She laughed and continued on like a leader or something.
'I swear,' Zane thought, 'I will find ONE DAMN THING to use on this woman if it kills me!'

Shimla, Nov 14 (UNI) Three tribal assembly constituencies of Kinnuar, Lahaul Spiti and Bharmaur in Himachal Pradesh have recorded more than 52 per cent polling so far, state Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Manisha Nanda said.
Riding on high voter turnout between 1100 hrs and 1500 hrs, the tribal constituencies recorded more than 52 per cent polling till 1530 hrs, she told UNI here.
Ms Nanda said while 55 per cent electorate had exercised their franchise in the Kinnuar constituency, 52 per cent in Bharmaur and 51 per cent polling had been recorded in the Lahaul Spiti constituency.
The polling was slow in the Spiti Valley where about 47 per cent of the electorate had cast their votes as against 55 per cent in the Lahaul Valley, she said.
The CEO said the polling was by and large peaceful across the tribal region where minimum temperatures were being recorded below freezing point.
About 25 per cent of the electorate had exercised their franchise by noon following a low voter turnout in the first hour and Election Commission officials said long queues were seen outside the polling booths as the day progressed.
Earlier, the polling began on a sedate note in all the three tribal segments as biting cold prevented the local people from venturing out to cast their votes.
However, the pace of the voting picked up after the first hour during which only nine per cent people had cast their votes.
Twelve candidates are in the fray for the three tribal seats, elections for which are being held ahead of the remaining 65 assembly constituencies for the first time in the state's history.
Polling for the remaining 65 assembly constituencies would be held in the second phase on December 19.
As many as 1,27,785 voters, including 65,883 man and 61,902 women, constitute the electorate for the three tribal constituencies.
Tight security arrangements have been made for the polling in the three constituencies and about 2,000 security personnel have been deployed for ensuring free and fair elections.
A three-tier fully operational communication network has been made available to the polling staff and the telephone service providers have been asked to provide congestion free access to the tribal areas where over 100 polling booths, out of a total of 298 booths, are at a height ranging from 8,500 to 15,000 ft.

Upcoming Webinar: Google Analytics Custom Variables
March 11th, 2010 | Published in Google Analytics
Custom variables are one of the most powerful features in Google Analytics. With them you can segment traffic by almost any attribute. For example, you could compare traffic from first-time customers versus repeat buyers. Or, if you run a content-oriented site, you could see which authors produce the most traffic..
While powerful, setting up custom variables can be a bit tricky, so we're holding a webinar so you can learn how to make the most of them.
We'll start with Phil Mui, Senior Product Manager for Google Analytics, who'll share with you the features and capabilities of custom variables. Next, we'll hear from Nick Mihailovski, Google Analytics Developer Evangelist. Nick will show you how to implement custom variables on your website and share best practices.
We'll also be joined by Jim Snyder and Peter Howley from Empirical Path, a Google Analytics Authorized Consultant. They'll share how they implemented custom variables for the Business Insider and the insights they've gained as a result. We'll close with a Q&A session with all the speakers.
We've set up a Google Moderator to take your questions in advance and so you can vote on the questions you'd most like to see answered. Ask your questions
Date: Wednesday, March 24th
Time: 10:00 AM Pacific
If you can't make the live webinar, we'll post a recording on the Google Analytics YouTube Channel a week or two afterwards.

14 Facts of Life
Fun facts I've learned since I last wrote in this:
1. Fog machines can set off smoke detectors. On a related note, the fire alarms in the theatre building sound different from any of the others in my school.
2. College application essays ARE NEVER DONE.
3. If you are seventeen and trick-or-treating, people don't get mad at you if you and your friends are going as the Fellowship of the Ring.
4. When I rewrite things, I can expect them to triple or quadruple in length.
5. When you're an usher for a show, they tell you to show up at 6:25. IT'S A LIE. Come at 5:30.
6. When your cat has dental surgery, it has to wear a cone for ten days.
7. A cat can take off a cone if it really wants to.
8. Eight inches of snow+several days of freezing temperatures=a six day weekend.
9. Inner tubes don't make the most effective sleds.
10. One must beware when one lends a writing utensil to N. in class. The pen or pencil is guaranteed to end up in his mouth at some point.
11. If one desires to summon the nerds, one needs only to play the Sherlock theme on the piano. They'll come running.
12. Repeat: college application essays ARE NEVER DONE.
13. I have to finish my senior project by January 30th. (Boy, that fact would have been a nice one to know before December 13th!)
14. Apparently, I'm fashionable. Did not know that.
That's all for now. Maybe, someday, I'll start actually writing in this again. When I have time. Which is not right now.

The Return (3 of 3) by Richard Laue
This content is part of a series.The Return (3 of 3)
Richard Laue
Philemon 9-25
Restoration, healing, going home can be a beautiful thing. Let me share a letter with you that I received sometime back. Circumstances have been changed to protect everybody.
"Dear Pastor Laue: Thanks for talking to me about my Dad. If you will recall, I told you I was visiting from another state, and my Mom told me that my Father, who had passed away four years before, was really not my Father, but my real Dad lives not far away. I went to meet him and his daughter. He has accepted me and written me a few times, since I was last there. My daughter is now there visiting my mother for a week. They will soon be off to New York for two weeks and then will return here. My Dad has agreed to meet my daughter. How exciting all of this is to me! I wanted to thank you for comforting me in such a strange situation trying to tell my Dad that I am his daughter, and him not even knowing all this time that I existed. Boy! Thanks again. Love in the Lord Jesus."
I read in that letter healing, restoration, forgiveness, going home. And that is what we have here in Paul's letter to Philemon. Paul's goal is healing, restoration, restitution. It is a beautiful thing.
The Scriptures teach vividly that this is to be our practice. Think of Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10. Zacchaeus worked for the IRS. He collected taxes. The law was that the tax collector could keep as much as he could collect over what was set as the tax. Consequently, Zacchaeus and others like him were rich. But one day he met Jesus and was converted. Right off the top, Zacchaeus said, "Half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything by false accusation, I will restore his money four-fold." That's four dollars for every one he took.
Paul writing in Galatians said, (6:1) "Brethren, if a man is overtaken in a trespass (sin), you who are spiritual (mature) restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, less you also be tempted." He goes on to say th ...

Shanghai Railway Station has many regular lines that go westwards, north of the Yangtze River, and Hong Kong as well as many useful bullet train lines to areas spread from Xi'an to Beijing. It is also a metro hub station for lines 1, 3 and 4.
This train station handles both regular train lines and about 50 bullet train lines for dozens of places north of the Yangtze River. See the popular bullet train travel routes from Shanghai Railway Station for some ideas for planning trips in China:
These are for leisurely travel, sightseeing out the windows, sleeping in bunks, and going places bullet trains don't go and are a lot less expensive.
It has a circular design with two floors and a north square and a south square where there are bus stations and taxi stands.
Arrive early: Since the station is quite large and it might take longer than expected to get there, it is wise to be at the station at least 2 hours ahead of your departure time, especially if you plan on getting a ticket there.
See How to Get On/Off a Train and 7 Things to Know Before Riding a Train for more.
Here are taxi tips and the fares for Shanghai taxis.
The Shanghai metro is quite a tangled web of lines, but by heeding transfer points and stops, you can use them to travel around more quickly around.
Take Line 1 south to People's Square (人民广场, 3 stops)
Honggiao Airport has two terminals that are wide apart and time consuming to go between, so it is important to go to the correct one to avoid delays. Line 10 connects the train station to both Terminal 1 and 2.
The journey is about 40 minutes, but be aware that the servicing times are staggered since the line splits, so your wait for transfer to Line 10 might be short or quite long.
The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is just one of the towers popular with tourists in the Pudong area that also has very tall skyscrapers, museums, and other things to see.
The Lianhe Ticket Building is 200 meters southeast of Shanghai Railway Station south entrance. The signage can be confusing. The ticket hall of the Shanghai Railway Station has a total of more than 80 ticket windows.
Be sure your ticket is for the station you want to leave from. Check the name carefully.
You could book tickets in the station and at other train stations or at many ticket windows in the city and online with our China train booking service. See How to Buy Tickets in China.
We can assist you with booking tickets.
You can use the bullet trains to quickly see highlights of China's top tourist areas around Shanghai. Our private city transport and guide will let you discover more in a relaxed comfortable way, and help you get on the right train for your travels.

You participated in the largest arrest action in U.S. Park Police history on September 26, 2005. I was with you. I was one of the 374 people of conscience acting for peace that day, including scholar Cornell West and peace mom Cindy Sheehan. As the present co-convener of the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance, I want to invite and encourage you to join us again on the week the Afghanistan War will enter its 9th year of lost lives, lost hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars and lost direction and morality. This is a war that can not be won, yet the escalation continues. What are our troops fighting and dying for? Even President Karzai has said during his recent campaign that he wants to sit down at the negotiating table with the Taliban. It is time the war and occupation end, it is time to end indefinite detention at places like Bagram prison and begin the process of building peace and rebuilding infrastructures.
Eight years ago on October 7, 2001, the U.S. and Britain invaded Afghanistan -- and the war on Afghanistan continues today, with President Obama, the "anti-war candidate," increasing the number of troops. On Monday, October 5, 2009, the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance (NCNR), working with Witness Against Torture, Peace Action, The War Resisters League, Atlantic Life Community, Voices for Creative Nonviolence, and Veterans for Peace, and World Can't Wait will mark the anniversary and speak out against the war with direct action risking arrest at the White House.
On October 5th, we will gather at 10 AM at McPherson Square for a permitted rally and to hear lifelong war resister and widow of Phil Berrigan, Liz McAlister. From McPherson, we will march to Pennsylvania Avenue. Around noon, the various affinity groups will visit the White House calling for withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan and demand an ending of the illegal bombing in Pakistan with US drones and other forms of violence, the closing of the Bagram prison, and an ending to indefinite detention and torture. We are calling for an end to these wars and occupations, including that of Iraq, so that our resources can be used for life-sustaining actions including the funding and the rebuilding of Afghanistan's and Iraq's infrastructure and medical assistance to Afghans and Iraqis, in addition to poverty reduction programs in the United States and world wide. We are also calling for accountability for those who have committed war crimes.
The White House action is a key component of a number of complimentary actions planned for October.

Adapting and Implementing Innovative Materials in Statistics (AIMS)
The AIMS project developed lesson plans and activities based on innovative materials that have been produced in the past few years for introductory statistics courses. These lesson plans and student activity guides were developed to help transform an introductory statistics course into one that is aligned with the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) for teaching introductory statistics courses. The lessons build on implications from educational research and also involve students in small and large group discussion, computer explorations, and hands-on activities.

Playa Esmeralda South (Playa de Jandia) - Bright, beige-coloured sandy beach below the dunes
Playa Esmeralda South, also known as Playa Jandia, is situated about 5 minutes by car from the well-known holiday resort of Costa Calma, from where you can also easily walk along the coast to this small bay. The fine beige-coloured sandy beach can be found below the sparsely vegetated dunes. The sea is clear and inviting for swimming.
At the southern part of the beach sun-loungers can be hired, around which there are protective nets which unfortunately are not so pleasing for the eye. Separated by a rock is the northern part of Playa Esmeralda South which can only be reached along the sand at low tide. Here there is a slightly sloping sandy area with bushes and smaller rocks. This part of the beach is mainly frequented by nudists.

On Wednesday, January 4, 2017, Tartan's College-In-The-Schools American Government students attended their Field Day at the University of MN. The topic of debate was the Electoral College and the keynote speaker was MN Secretary of State Steve Simon.
Before Wednesday, Tartan students researched and wrote a paper on the topic of retaining or replacing the Electoral College; they debated the topic with 500 other students from around MN on Field Day.
In additional preparation for the day, Brooke Berlin (Tartan senior) designed a t-shirt, through Big Frog in Woodbury, that looked like a typical "college" t-shirt on the front with a quote from Mr. Simon on the back: "Your vote is your voice. Failure to vote is not an act of rebellion. It is an act of surrender."

The zone read is a play that puts a lot of pressure on the opposing defense. The Syracuse Orange use it as part of their offense, and had to face it on Friday night against Louisville. Coming up this Saturday, the South Florida Bulls will be running it once again.
Essentially, it is an option play. The quarterback puts the ball into the belly of his running back and reads the defensive end. If the end stays at home on the outside, the quarterback is supposed to allow the back to take the ball for a between the tackles run. If the end tries to crash inside, the quarterback pulls the ball and keeps it himself, running to the outside open area.
Against the Cardinals, the Orange really struggled defending the zone read. Why? We reviewed the film and noticed some trends.
Louisville had the most success out of the zone read when the quarterback kept the ball. On several occasions, this was due to the Syracuse defensive ends collapsing inside rather than maintaining their outside containment. When Lamar Jackson read that defensive end properly, he pulled the ball away from the back, kept it, and ran to the area vacated by the Orange defender for big gains.
Let's take a look at one example from the first quarter of Friday night's game.
At the beginning of the play, Jackson (QB) starts the zone read by acting like he is handing the ball to his running back Brandon Radcliff. Notice Syracuse defensive end De'Jon Wilson (circled) reading the play. Syracuse is actually doing a nice job in the middle, getting some penetration with their interior linemen.
Now you see where the problem occurs. Wilson crashes inside, attempting to read that Radcliff has been given the ball. This leaves a huge opening to the outside, and Jackson reads this properly. Had Wilson stayed to the outside, even with a blocker pulling in that direction, Jackson keeping the ball would have been a much more difficult task. He likely gives it to Radcliff in that scenario, where Syracuse appeared to have it well defended.
With Wilson caught inside, Jackson races to the area he vacated and has a wide open field in front of him. Jackson would walk untouched into the corner of the end zone to put Louisville up 28-7.
How can Syracuse fix this given that they'll see plenty of zone read from Quinton Flowers and the South Florida Bulls? It's about being more comfortable in the system, maintaining discipline and keeping outside containment. That way, you force the opposition to give to the back and make the plays between the tackles.

I believe that if anyone could ever duplicate "the experience" of fantasy sports, and find a way to apply it to other genres outside of sports, it could be a huge success. Recently, I've found a couple of great examples that have successfully transitioned the fantasy sports experience, and brought it to new pop culture audiences.
Relationships are messy, and sometimes love sucks. You won't always be 22 and carefree and riding on a train through Europe, wondering if you should doodle in your journal or take a nap. The movie Before Midnight understands that long-term love never comes easy, and romance isn't always about long walks in a Viennese park.
Roger Ebert was an honest critic. He was there for the movies. How many others can say the same? At the end, he became as big as the actors and directors he profiled. He was the Trailer before all the trailers. He was the Internet before the web. He was TV when it was still television. Something about him was more familiar and more popular than his co-hosts. Something about his opinion mattered to you. So, I'll say it again, because I really mean it...RIP Roger Ebert. Nobody was better.

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." -Proverbs 13:12
Finally – after one of the driest years on record and the driest I can ever remember – finally, finally, it has begun to rain.
This year it felt like we waited a million years for the rains to come. It was dry, so dry, and dusty, for months and months after the rain should have started. Day after day we stood, and stared, and watched the sky, and saw nothing but sun and blue and hopes deferred. It felt interminable.
Through it all, I kept thinking about how in Spanish the words for "to hope" and "to wait" are the exact same – esperar. The only way to know which one the speaker is trying to say is context; maybe they're waiting, maybe they're hoping. Maybe it's a little bit of both.
And isn't life just like that? If we never had to wait for anything, we would have nothing to hope for. So we wait for the little things, and then the big things, and we learn to be patient. With every additional day that passes – every additional day we wait – our hope grows by addition, and it gets bigger, stronger. A more and more deeply rooted tree, though it seems scorched and bare to the naked eye.
My friends here are much better at this than I am. Perhaps because they still have so much to hope for. Their communities and families have waited 100 years, endless generations, as long as history remembers, for something as simple as water, or food security, or a home. But somehow, they do not despair. They are not sick at heart. Their hope grows deeper and wider with every day of waiting, and still they watch the sky for relief.
It is not easy. But without wait, there would be no hope. And a life without hope is a life of despair – we look forward to nothing, want nothing, believe in nothing. Instead, we learn to see a drought not as the lack of rain but the hope for it, and we are all the more thankful when it comes.
I used to hate that Proverbs verse up at the top; I couldn't get past the "heart sick" part, and it hit way too close to home for me to bear. I just never saw it – never saw the part about "longing fulfilled." It is what everyone here seems to understand intuitively, and what I never understood until they showed me.
Now I finally see that after all the waiting and the longing, when what we hope for finally comes (in one form or another), it is life. A well-watered tree. A tree that knows the sweetness of the rumble of thunder, the flash of lightening, and that first, fresh, clean drop that splashes down after a lifetime of waiting from a heaven of hope.
