A Field of Flowers
Dark moon eyes
shivering shell
I'm watching
I'm going to hell.
Silver-stained name,
a rapture of tooth;
a smile
a window of love.
I'll never.
No, I'll never.
Keep speaking as the heart keeps beating
and keep it coming, keep it flowing
keep those words going.
Offer a prayer
a voice, a word
of your choice.
And flowers take me
in the moonlight
by the glint of their eye
and the size of their hearts.

The majority of men retire at 65. The retirement age for women used to be 60, but this has been raised recently, and many women retire later. Some people take early retirement (= choose to retire early) from about 50.In the US the usual retirement age is also 65. People can choose to retire earlier but may get less money from their pension. In the US, the phrase early retirement suggests that retirement has been proposed by a person's employer as an alternative to them being made redundant (= unemployed). Companies do this sometimes when they need to reduce the number of people working for them. Since older people are usually paid more than younger ones, the company may ask them to retire and hire younger people to replace them. A few people choose to continue working after the age of 65, though some employers require employees to retire between 65 and 70.When somebody retired after many years with the same employer they used to be given a present by the company. Traditionally this was a gold watch or a clock. Now, few people work for the same company for all their working lives and do not receive a present from their employer. Instead, their colleagues contribute money for a present and organize a party.A person's quality of life in retirement depends largely on the amount of money they have. Many receive pensions, some have savings in the bank. In Britain people have at least a basic pension from the state. In the US most people can receive social security benefits, and can get government help in paying for their medical care. Many retired people have to live on a fixed income and find retirement hard.Now that older people have better health and live longer, people over retirement age are becoming an increasingly important economic and social force. The number of retired people in Britain and the US is growing, and through organizations like the American Association of Retired Persons and, in Britain, the National Pensioners Convention, they have increased power to demand the services they need and the rights they deserve. This is sometimes referred to as 'grey power'.

Spencer Shops and the Southern Railway
Since the 1830s, almost 150 predecessor railway lines were combined, and recombined to become the Southern Railway in 1894. In 1982, the line was combined with the Norfolk & Western Railway to form Norfolk Southern Corporation. The earliest predecessor line was the nine-mile South Carolina Canal & Rail Road Co., which was chartered in December 1827. On Christmas Day 1830, the nation's first regularly scheduled passenger train, the "Best Friend of Charleston" began operations. By 1833, its 136-mile line to Hamburg, S.C., was the longest in the world.
The Southern Railway and its predecessors were innovators in the industry. The South Carolina Canal & Rail Road Co., not only was the first to carry passengers, but also U.S. troops and mail on steam-powered trains, and was the first to operate at night.
Railway networks spread across the South and across the Mountains. By 1857, Charleston and Memphis were linked. Expansion was halted at the beginning of the Civil War, which was the first war to use the railroads to advantage. The war left southern economies devastated, but the railroads were a priority and were repaired to operate again.
The Southern Railway was formed in 1894 as a combination of the Richmond & Danville system and the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad. Of the 4,400 miles of line it operated, the company owned two-thirds and held leases, operating agreements and stock ownership on the rest. They also controlled several other lines in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
The Southern Railway's first president, Samuel Spencer, continued to expand the network. During his 12-year presidency, he changed the focus of the company's service from dependence on tobacco and cotton and towards industrial development. The railway enlarged the shops at Knoxville and Atlanta, and purchased more equipment to handle heavy repairs. Spencer reported that "one additional large shop may be necessary" on the eastern main line between Washington and Atlanta. At the time, it was advisable for trains to switch locomotives to be refueled, inspected for damage and wear, and repaired as needed every 150 miles. Locating a major shop facility halfway between the two cities with smaller terminals at the quarter marks, Southern could divide the Washington to Atlanta run into four segments of about 160 miles each.
In late 1895 the public became aware that Southern was looking for a location near the midpoint to build a shops facility that would bring hundreds of new jobs. Many assumed Charlotte would be the logical choice for the project. However, John Steele Henderson of Rowan County, one of Rowan's most prominent citizens and the county's largest landholder did all within his power to change this. An ardent supporter of industrial development, Henderson entered into negotiations with Southern officials. He would secretly buy land for the new shop and sell it to the railroad at or near his costs. It is also rumored that Henderson promised that he could save the company the cost of city taxes by preventing the city limits of Salisbury from encompassing this site. He began in 1896 by buying large tracts of land directly on Southern's main line just north of Salisbury. He accumulated 162.2 acres and sold 141 acres to the railroad at about the price he had paid. He later sold more land to the railway when they needed to expand, but this time it was at a significant profit.
On March 23, 1896 workmen began turning over the land to build the shops in the subsequent months. Less than, five months later on August 19, the shops began operating. Samuel Spencer presided at the opening ceremonies. The shops and the town that grew up around them were named for Spencer.
In 1953, Southern Railway became the first major railroad in the United States to convert totally to diesel-powered locomotives, and the Spencer Shops were no longer needed for locomotive repair and used the facility for a time for diesel repair. In 1979, the Southern Railway moved all operations to the Linwood Yard, just north of Spencer. In 1977 and again in 1979, the Southern Railway donated the shops to the State of North Carolina for the use as the North Carolina Transportation Museum.

Adults in the work-force, know it is a day off, and a time for a potential long weekend get-away.
As a community, we really don't have any type of organized activity to honor those who have given their lives in service to this country.

When I was about 10, my family lived in southern Louisiana. Hot and humid were understatements for the climate during the summer. We lived in a mobile home, in an open field, and the only a/c was in my parent's room.
Sleep was miserable, especially for a roly-poly who sweats sitting still. The infamous line in our home was, "Go to sleep and you won't be hot."
Although I'm not a huge fan of doughnuts -- they're not sweet enough for me to justify ingesting all those calories -- as soon as I walked into work the other day, I made a beeline for the box of Dunkin Donuts leftover from the day before.
Before I knew it, one of them made its way from the box and into my mouth.
I didn't want to eat it, but I did anyway.

Plans are in the works to organize and form a local Marine Corps League detachment, based right here in Cynthiana.
The Marine Corps League was founded in 1923 by Gen. John A. LeJeune, a decorated hero of World War I, commandant of the Marine Corps and the namesake of Camp LeJeune, SC.
"It's one of the best kept secrets for all former Marines," said former MCL Kentucky commandant Zeddie Harmon.
Harrison County School District has released the following information regarding the Friday, May 26, graduation, which gets underway at 7 p.m.

Senior awards are Monday, May 22, 2017 at 6 p.m. in the auditorium.
Baccalaureate will be Tuesday, May 23, at 6 p.m. in the auditorium. No tickets are required.

Becky Barnes,
Four individuals moved one step closer in the arduous journey to becoming a Cynthiana police officer.
Commissioner Roger Slade asked for approval to offer employment to four police officer recruits pending completion of all the pre-employment screenings.
Slade said hiring police officers is a long process ... and when they are recruits it's even longer. Recruits have to attend 21 weeks of school/training before they are ready to patrol with a local field training officer.
By profession, Larry Carey was a Kentucky State Police trooper. In his time patrolling the State, he faced very difficult situations, but none more difficult than the one he faced 10 years ago, after he retired from KSP.
You see, 10 years ago, he was diagnosed with head and neck cancer.
In June of 2007, he was dressing to go to a funeral visitation when he felt a tiny knot on his neck as he was tying his tie.
The search is on for a new principal for Eastside Elementary.
Belinda (B.J.) Maggard has accepted a position at the central office as the director of technology. Maggard will be assuming the position vacated by Melissa Shepard, who will retire June 30.

The Blues aren't planning on offering Jamie Langenbrunner a new contract according to a new report from Andy Strickland. Langenbrunner is coming off of a one-year, $1.25 million deal with the Blues and will be an unrestricted free agent on July 5th. Langenbrunner told Strickland that he doesn't believe he's in the team's plans for 2013-14, but would still like to play at least one more season in the NHL. It was always doubtful that Langenbrunner would be back with the Blues for another season. At 37, the veteran appears to be in the final stages of his career and serious injuries have some doubting that he still has what it takes to be a contributor at the NHL level. He was only able to suit up in four NHL games during the 2013 season due to a torn labrum in his hip. The Blues have lost significant veteran leadership over the last few weeks with the retirement announcements from Andy McDonald and Scott Nichol. There's a chance the Blues invite Langenbrunner to camp ...

This article's name is conjectural for a part of its content. If an official name is found for the currently unnamed portion of content, it may need to be split into a new article.
Candles are objects in the real world that have sometimes made appearances in Mario games as enemies.
Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, where they would sometimes be used as a hiding place for Hot Foots. Candles sometimes appear as background items in many games as well.
Luigi's Mansion[edit]
In Luigi's Mansion, Candles[1] are often used to light the hallways of the mansion, often times they would be used to solve certain puzzles. Candle lamps were one of the many sources of Fire Elemental Ghosts, if Luigi used the Poltergust 3000 on a candle lamp it would release a Fire Elemental Ghost which Luigi could capture in order to turn the Poltergust 3000 into a flamethrower.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong[edit]
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, candles appear as enemies in the Spooky House where if Mario touches one, he will burn and lose a life. Candles also have the ability to float up and down.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis[edit]
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, candles appear as enemies once again, with the same attack pattern as in the previous game. If a Mini Mario touches one it will instantly be defeated.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
In Super Paper Mario, candle lamps appear as enemies in Merlee's Basement, when Mimi chased Mario and Princess Peach through the mansion. The candle lamps shoot fire at either hero, and it is invincible. There are also candles in The Underwhere and Castle Bleck that Bowser can light.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
Candles appeared in the episode, "Princess Toadstool for President" where one Hot Foot leaped out and chases Mario and Luigi.

Woman checked us in promptly, was very thorough and helpful. When we plugged our 50 amp plug in, the electricity did not go on when I turned the outside circuit breaker on. But it went on as the cover slammed down and then went off again. It appeared to have a short. So we unplugged & called check-in person.She arranged for an electrician to come out. He repaired the box. He said he saw evidence of electricity arcing on our 50 amp plug as some of rubber melted. He said the Outlet on post was not grounded and did other repairs. We plugged in and AC & other things in rv have worked, but the microwave I had used in the rv that morning had burned out. We sent owner 2 emails asking for a refund on a part of our stay so we could put it towards the $109 replacement cost of the new microwave. (We did take about 3 hrs out of time with our family to get a new microwave oven of correct dimensions. ) Be aware there may be electrical issues here! - 3Ramblers

Called ahead for reservation. Gave a cc #. They said they would save a pull-through site. They didn't. Rude park host yelled at my husband for stopping in the road in front of the poorly marked office. No signage visible for the office. No maintenance people to clean lots after the pigs leave. All they had was 2 sites that had wood pallets on them that previous people left. Had to move the pallet to get in. Got in and 30 amp was shorted out and outlet was broken. Used a 50 to 30 adapter. Never gave us a bathroom code number. Never stay here. - osofine454

We were over-nighting while heading north on US 59. This park is about 5 miles off that road but worth the drive. No, it's not fancy, nor is it what I'd call a "resort". But it was quiet, the sites were level, the WiFi worked fine for us, and it was an easy in, easy out park. We paid $27.50 with our Escapees discount. We would definitely stay here again. - Pamela R.

This place if full of permanents a lot of run down RVs. A lot of junk around the RVs. Dog crap along the road dogs running loose. the dumpster was over flowing the price was good 23.00 a night but I won't stay here again if I wasn't so tired I would have moved on to another campground. - kampincrazy

This park was quaint. Clean enough and nice pull thru sites. The staff was friendly. The sites were a little muddy with no concrete pads so if it rained it got a little messy. - campertraveler
Oct 2014 - $23.00
This park has mostly full time residents, many eyesore units, and not a very sociable park. Rules are not followed by the residents, dogs are not picked up after, drivers race through on the dirt/gravel roads, and trains run loudly by all through the night. The only plus is it is close to major shopping and Brazos Bend SP. We will not return. - rvrrat520

This is not a vacation campground. This is a "functional" RV park for those looking for long term stays. Mostly working folks or long term residents. Wifi, Power and water included in rates. Access to laundry facilities a plus. Great People. - MSSTEPMOM
Oct 2012 - $35.00
Mostly permanent residents with some campers and sites in dirty condition. There are trees but some make entering site very hard. Not a good place for large rigs. Campground grounds are not well kept. Sites are very close and one side of campground is very hard to drive into to occupy site with no outlet sign and no turn around. - dagopapa
Sep 2012 - $35.00
Most residents are long term. I called this campground by mistake because I wrote down their phone number instead of the one I intended to call. The manager stated that they do not take reservations, but then proceeded to take my information and let me know we would be expected. Access is good and our site was level. There is no disconnect for the 50A electrical outlet - I don't like connecting/disconnecting "hot". Previous reviewers indicated no shade, but some sites are partly shaded. Also, a previous reviewer indicated no big rig access. We had no trouble with a 40 ft. coach and many sites would accommodate any big rig. My only issue is that this is not a $35 per day park. - 2005-Fulltimers

This is an older park in need of lots of attention. It is just barely capable of a 40 footer with a tow vehicle. Getting in and out is not for the faint of heart. On the plus side, electric was fine, water pressure fine. Site was level. This is not a destination park, but okay for just an overnighter. Call for directions. Rate is high for what you got. $27.00 is with a discount. - hug448844
Feb 2011 - $27.00
Not the nicest park we've stayed in, but still one of my favorites because it has a "community" feel and I've gotten to know many of the people who live here. The manager is nice and easy to deal with. Most of the people are here long term and are allowed to have storage units and to build decks and such. There are several pull through sites for overnighters, some are shaded. There is a pool, but it is not always clear and clean. The roads are OK, but have some potholes. This park is conveniently located near just about anything you might need: grocery store, restaurants, shopping, and even a hospital just across Highway 59 from the park. - Bill and Cathy

We stayed here for two weeks to finalize our going full time. The owner is very nice, however I believe that the area is being swallowed up by new freeway construction and the owner must be waiting for highway dept to buy them out. It needs a lot of maintenance care and the sites are 80% permanent residences. The quiet time is not observed because people were cussing late into the night, which kept my wife awake. A lot of traffic noise coming from the freeway. - USMCJS

A good spot in west Houston. New. Clean. TV so-so. Wifi good, but slow during peak usage times. Concrete patio for car or car can go in front of rig. - rncordy

Excellent new park with smooth, level concrete drives and pads encircling a gorgeous pond and fountain. Equally good clubhouse and pool area with exceptional laundry facilities, gym, and showers. Extremely dog friendly with multiple access points to a dog walk. There's also a dog cleaning station which is fantastic! - Outlaw Pilots

We made reservations and paid for site for 2 weeks February 15 through February 28, 2017. Paid $636.00 although attempted to negotiate for a monthly rate as it would have been less even though we were not planning on staying a full month, we may have stayed longer than we did. Apparently they count days in a week instead of nights. They came to our site about 5:45 pm on the 28th and told my husband that we had to leave as we had reserved the site only through the 28th which meant we had to leave the 28th. They had also given us a notice on the 27th that the monthly rate was going up March 1. The temporary manager called me but did not leave a message. When I returned her call she told me we had to leave and she didn't have time to talk to me as they were closing the office. Very rude to both me and my husband. Incredibly poor management. Will not stay at one of their Quality RV Resorts in the Houston area again.
Closest park to where my family is and easy access in all directions. Make sure that you know you are paying for days not nights. - Loree Mathews

Eight of the 10 sites are on concrete. Most of the sites appear to have long(er) term occupants, e.g. more than 2-3 nights. Best to call ahead. Lodge seems to have a regular meal schedule and Bingo on Thursday night. However, parking lot wasn't very full for any of the scheduled events while we were there. Power and water were both good. Vzn coverage was okay. - GerMarV

We stayed 2 different nights, parked by the office in pull in site 124. Older park with many full time trailers,campers, with huge trees, so watch your Sat, but strong cable TV & WiFi service. Super nice and friendly office staff. We stayed here to be close to galleria area. Pool area looked spotless and park is well maintained. We will stay here again when in Houston. With highway construction on Beltway 8, if you are going north on Beltway 8,watch for your east feeder street to I-59. Park is located east of PPL RV sales lots and behind Sterling McCall auto dealership, on the south side of I-59 - RV park has a sign on 1-59( southwest freeway). If you are going south on Beltway 8 , exit at 1-59 feeder road and go east. - Oooooooo

Sites are concrete ad, very narrow. We were here for only 1 nite & our site was right next to office, laundry & showers. Very convenient but no privacy. Entire complex is mostly concrete, narrow strips of grass. Landscaping was nice & well maintained. Laundry was superb. Dog walk area & dog wash facility! Nice rec room & heated pool. Located in a very congested area in back of several car dealerships. Would not stay here for an extended period bit one nite was fine. - Hulda
Jun 2015 - $22.00
We stayed here for 6 weeks while working the floods of Memorial Day 2015. Owners are consistently grooming and cleaning the sites. There are a lot of workers of various occupations, but it's very quiet, people are friendly but not in your business. The laundry is clean with several options of cycles so the $2.50 seems fair. We kept a clothesline between the trees in the back of our RV for line drying and that was readily acceptable. The pool was treated 3 X/day for bugs and the most I saw using it were 3, including me. An exercise room, a computer room, and pool table rounded out the community hall. They recently added TengoInternet, have cable, and Wi-Fi works great. Very close to the 59, the 8, the 610 easy to get to any place in Houston. Found it to be a utilitarian city but lots of wonderful places to eat. Close to La Porte, Galveston, and Beaumont. Would come again anytime. - Barbara Smith

The Katy Elks Lodge is located 1/4 mile north of I-10, so access is easy, although the turn from Katy Fort Bend Rd at the Lodge entrance is a little tight. There are four sites available at the rear of the lodge. 30/50E&W is available at the rear of the sites. On the day I arrived three of the sites were in use by rigs that appeared to have been there for a while. The lodge opens at 5pm and reservations are not taken, so a call ahead is advised. There is space available for dry camping should the sites be full. The lodge is very active and friendly. They are planning to add more sites with sewer hookups in the future. We stayed one night. - 15243

This is the best park I've been in so far, friendly people, clean, well maintained. While we were here the park was almost full, but it didn't feel crowded. Will definitely stay here again, really nice that they accept passport America. Our cost was $27.00 normal $58.00 (kind of high). Neat pool and hot tub, nice club house. - Terry A E
Apr 2017 - $54.00
The good - The park is clean, the hot tub and pool are fantastic! The walking track around the lake is very nice. The clubhouse and laundry facilities were excellent. Pull through and back in sites for varying sizes. People are very nice. The bad - The internet is probably the biggest disappointment to this nice park. Upon arrival, we were given a notice that you were limited to 10gigs a month of WIFI use. Additionally, the office has the ability to block devices from the WIFI. The only other option you have is to utilize a satellite dish for your internet needs or utilize your cell provider. Being limited to what I can do with the internet service and capping that said service is a high negative to me. If you are working remotely or like Netflix, Hulu, you tube, etc... you would be best to find somewhere else to stay. If you are in the back of the park, the only dog run area is all the way in the front, they could use a second one. All in all, I would stay here again if it was for one night or two, but would find somewhere else if I needed more than that. - Phoenix1

Katy Lake is a clean, relatively new, well maintained campground with good access to the west Houston area and it's surroundings. We stayed in a pull through site which was laid out well, both easy to get into and out of. The sitting area was small, but sufficient. Sites were not spacious, but large enough to put out awnings and sit without being on top of neighbors. There are a large number of long term workers in the park, but the park does not allow campers or sites to deteriorate as we have seen elsewhere. Common areas, including the small lake in the center, the pool and hot tub area and the meeting rooms are clean and well maintained. The large dog park and pet washing station were grassy, maintained and a very nice addition. Security on site is via gate access. The park has obviously had some trouble with standing water on some sites, but at the time we were there it appeared that they had resolved almost all of these issues. There was nothing that caused us concern nor detracted from our view that this was a very good private park for seeing the Houston area. We would stay again. - NJTroy

One of the nicest parks we've stayed in within the past two years on the road. Great bicycleing, hiking, bird watching and camping. Some of the sites are hugh. Good satellite reception in our open site but Verizon 3G slow. Will definitely be back. Try and bring all the groceries you need. Stores a drive away. Great personnel at the desk. Buy a yearly pass if you're going to be in Texas more than 10 days. - smitty12

We have stopped here a few times on our way further south in Texas and the more we stay, the better it seems. It is an outstanding state park. If you will be staying at more than one state park for more than a night at each one, the $70 annual pass provides a 50% discount on the second night at each park (the pass includes four of these discounts) and waives the daily use fee, which at this park is $7 per person per day. The pass pays you back in no time at all. The sites are on an asphalt pad that is 20 feet wide and about 60 feet deep, so you can easily park two vehicles on the asphalt. Sites are at least 100 feet apart in open woods and fields. The staff is very competent, nice, easy to deal with, and there are a number of volunteer hosts and other workers at the park. Our Verizon card worked well, and we got plenty of over-the-air TV stations. The park routinely fills up on nice weekends since it's so close to Houston. We will continue to stop at this park when traveling in the area. - Jay Rutherford
Jan 2017 - $20.00
$20 per night (plus a $7 daily parking fee unless you've purchased a $70 annual Texas Parks Pass, which pays for itself if you plan to stay more than 10 nights in Texas State Parks) was for a mostly level asphalt pad site (#219) with 30-amp electric and water. Most sites can accommodate a 40'+ RV (like mine) and tow with room to spare. It's an almost mile drive to the park office and then another two and a half mile to the campground. All sites have a wooden picnic table and fire ring. Sites are separated by large expanses of grass and trees. It was pleasantly quiet during my stay. The campground and surrounding area are home to rich bio-diversity including alligators. The campground office was staffed by a most friendly, informative ranger who provided maps of the park trails and information on the local activities and amenities. There are many activities available, which you can find listed on their website as well as in the brochures they give you. The campground is 16 miles outside of any large city where all amenities are available. AT&T cell reception is adequate for texting and voice. I used my Verizon jetpack for internet access as it received 4 bars of 4G LTE. I received 70+ digital over-the-air TV stations and many radio stations. - DD Rolling Ranch

The twister struck as vicious thunderstorms ranged through areas in bolh the north and south parts of Hie stale and more than five inches of rain drenched a section near Ihe Lower Texas Coasl.

ARBOGAST Associated Press Writer WASmNGTON (AP) House Democrats, figuring to be the winners even if they lose, moved today to override Presi- dent Nixon's veto of a bil- lion hospital construction bill. Tltey' went inlo today's vole not particularly confident of, picking up the two-thirds major- ity to overcome the presidential rejection of the measure, but feeling relatively assured of making political hay regardless. The Democrats felt tlwy couldn't be hurt polilically by voting for hospital construction at a time when Nixon is asking Congress to make available million for loans to hard-pressed railroads. Furthermore, many OOP members say they slill are criu- cizcd back home for sustaining Ihe President's veto of a big health arid education money bill last January. Wilh congressional clcclioiis less than five months away, candidates don't want to pro- vide their opposition any addi- tional campaign fodder. "From an intellectual stand- a high ranking GOP leader said privately, "I think Ihe President is right, but the intellectuals don'l do all Ihe vot- ing in my dislrict. The liming on this is not too fortunate." Republicans look no solid po- silion on the veto at a parly conference Wednesday.

I-aler in the evening a severe storm watch was posted for Jim Hogg County in extreme Soulh Texas. The .alerls expired word of further damage. Flood warnings went out for sections near Ihe coast drained by the Nueces River, where the Weather Bureau reported more than five inches of rain in rural areas within a couple of hours.

It was hot again Tuesday near- ly everywhere in the state, with afternoon temperatures climbing as high as 99 degrees at El Paso and Wichita Falls. In getting Inlo negotiations, the Mideast rivals would also have to accept the 1967 U.N. Se- curity Council resolution outline for a Mideasl peace settlement.

Drummer and multimedia artist extraordinaire Billy Martin—most well-known as a member of non-trad jazz trio Medeski, Martin & Wood—has two newish drum releases on his label, Amulet. Instead of gradually building to a furied climax, in Solo Live at Tonic 2002 Martin starts harried and strong and then, over the course of an hour, narrows his compositional focus. At times, Martin's virtuosity makes the "solo" tag hard to comprehend: "Winding Road to Tree House" seems to be the sound of six hands exploring beats on a variety of percussive surfaces—drums, cymbals, shakers, and a cowbell. It is followed by "Six Grandfathers," a nine-minute exercise in minimalism featuring birdcalls. Eschewing the traditional trapset, "Flora Aura" is a thumb piano solo which makes good use of the instrument's resonator and "Coconuts Feeding Birds" lets Martin explore triangles and other high-pitched contraptions with an appealing playfulness and simplicity. These tracks, and the album overall, prove that Martin is much more than the "jazz-funk drummer" he's often tagged.

About Us
Like millions of other Americans, I watched the final presidential debate on October 19 in disbelief—how could anyone be taking this man seriously?! I was messing around on my computer when I (and we all) heard Trump say somewhat under his breath, "such a nasty woman," to and about his opponent Hillary Clinton. How many times have men called me (and you) something terrible for being professional? Prepared? Confident? Fuck that. I mocked up the Nasty Woman shirt and had them for sale online before the debate was even over. I posted the shirt on my personal Instagram account and friends began reposting it. By the end of the night, I had sold 50 shirts—a record for me. (Did I mention Google Ghost used to be my after-work hobby?) When I woke up, I checked sales hoping for a few more...and there were thousands. Turns out the shirt went viral.
It was in New York magazine, Teen Vogue, Elle, Bustle, and hundreds of other publications. I freaked out a little, but with no time to waste, I kicked into high gear and Got. Shit. Done. Not only did the shirt resonate with people everywhere, the promise to give 50% of proceeds to Planned Parenthood proved the perfect way to say "fuck Trump." And guess what? As of March 2017, I donated over $130,000!!!
But it didn't stop there. I received hundreds (maybe even thousands) of emails from women pissed off by the election results and asking me "what can I do?" I went to get drinks with my best friend and creative partner, Cameron, and told her about all these emails I was getting. What could we do together in the face of such a bullshit election and the next four years? That's when we developed the Year of the Nasty Woman planner (or what we affectionately call the Fuck Trump Action Planner). We wanted to highlight important women throughout history who paved the way despite oppression, who resisted, who never compromised. We wanted to create something you could use daily, record your to-dos, your goals, and how you are going to crush the system. The 237-page planner is full of important dates, quotes from inspiring women, actions you can take during Trump's presidency, and, we hope, a sense of community.
Now, we're letting the many awesome women we featured in the planner, who followed their passions and sense of what's right, be our guides for the next year. Each month, we'll be introducing a new theme connected to the planner, with products made by and for women that bring those ideas to life in your world, whether it's a must-read book by the incomparable bell hooks or a vibrator that doubles as a gorgeous necklace. And we're sharing free resources on our site to connect you with ideas and concrete actions. Plus every purchase you make on the site gives back. We're continuing to donate a portion of the proceeds to Planned Parenthood.
We're not giving up and neither should you.

Maxxie: grow a pair.Mature
I can't help blaming myself.
Well, I probably can.
But I'm just too fucking good at it to give it up.
I stay snuggled against Hadley. I don't want to be so dependant or have to need him every time something goes to shit. It's good having him there, but it's not fair on him to be like this - so needy and frankly, fucking pathetic. I keep shifting, about to move away so I can stop being like a limpet and figure out what to do, but I just end up staying where I am.
Knowing that my silence is worrying Hadley, I manage to mumble an "I love you" in an effort to bridge the gap between breaking the silence and thinking of something to say. But as he tells me he loves me too, my brain stops working again and I just end up going quiet.
Which makes Hadley frown slightly. I pull back, and actually manage to sit away from him this time, under the impression that this will somehow miraculously make him not worry about me and focus him on his brother.
Mistake. He just frowns more.
"What?" I ask, for a moment wondering why my reason for sitting back wasn't as obvious to him as it is to me. He gives a little sigh.
I shrug slightly, "We should be focussing on your brother, not me being a needy little bitch." He sort of nods and I look back at that journal entry. The reason he took Gage's death so hard was because of me, so somehow, I need to find a way of fixing this total mess.
My only question is: how the fuck do I do that?
And my answer? Fuck knows. I guess the obvious answer is to set him up with someone else, but how can you persuade someone to go out anywhere if they want to sit around drinking and watching a goldfish to make sure it won't run away when your back's turned?
Hadley sort of watches me thinking, and as I come up with pretty much nothing, I glance at him. "Any ideas?" He shakes his head and I sigh. "No, me either."
"We're so helpful," he says with a tiny laugh.
"At least we're trying. No one else seems to have even noticed that he's living on booze and watching a goldfish all day." He just kinda shrugs and I slump back against the sofa, pushing a hand through my hair irritably. That's more irritation at myself, though, rather than anything else.
I probably can't hold down a relationship for longer than a few months - because you're going to have a hard time convincing me that Hadley is going to stay put when he discovers that there's more to life than me and my shitty apartment in Hollywood - I can't get a job doing what I want because I'm not good enough even for that, I can't stop being so dependent on others, or even sort out my own messes.
I'm a pretty poor excuse for a human being right now.
Hadley, noticing my frustration, watches me again with a concerned look on his face. He watches me like that until I lean on him, facing away so I can't see that expression anymore. He plays with my hair absently and I close my eyes, trying to stop whining about my life. Others have it worse, right? I used to have it worse.
Max, grow a fucking pair of balls and sort your life out, you pussy.

Newsweek: Overturning the Gospels - Melinda Henneberger
Nothing more 'entertaining' than when the MSM tries to "Preach the Gospel" to us is there?
"We as a nation—a proudly, increasingly loudly Christian nation—have somehow convinced ourselves that the selfish choice is usually the moral one, too. (What a deal!) You know how this works: It's wrong to help poor people because "handouts'' reward dependency and thus hurt more than they help. So, do the right thing—that is, walk right on by—and by all means hang on to your hard-earned cash.
Thus do we deny the working poor a living wage, resent welfare recipients expected to live on a few hundred dollars a month, object to the whopping .16 percent of our GNP that goes to foreign aid—and still manage to feel virtuous about all of the above.
Which is how "Christian'' morality got to be all about other people's sex lives—and incredibly easy lifting compared to what Jesus actually asks of us. Defending traditional marriage? A breeze. Living in one? Less so. Telling gay people what they can't do? Piece o' cake. But responding to the wretched? Loving the unlovable? Forgiving the ever-so-occasionally annoying people you actually know? Hard work, as our president would say, and rather more of a stretch.
A lot of us are angry at our public officials just now, and rightly so. But we are complicit, too; top to bottom, we picked this government, which has certainly met our low expectations.
The Bush administration made deep and then still deeper cuts in antipoverty programs, and we liked that. (The genius of the whole Republican program, in fact, is that it not only offers tax cuts and morality, but tax cuts as morality. Americans do, I think, want to feel they are doing the right thing, and when I hear an opponent of abortion rights say, "I'm voting for the most vulnerable, the unborn,'' I have to respect that. Of course, we also like tax breaks and cheap gas and cranking the thermostat up and down—so when Republicans play to both our better angels and our less altruistic ones, it's not that tough a sell.)"
The Bible, which liberals love to reference but hardly read, actually says a few things about the poor.
For instance:
"For the poor will never cease out of the land." (Deuteronomy 15:11 RSV)
"But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to Me. For you always have the poor with you." (Matthew 26:10-11 RSV)
We're always going to have the poor. Poverty is in many forms. In New Orleans the focus was on "material poverty", ignoring that the fact that people who exist under the socialistic welfare system of the Democratic party are kept that way for "convience" and "votes".
Now that the left and the MSM has exacerbated the "Sluggish" Federal Response, they now what to lamblast the Administration and by them - the Christian Right- for allowing the poor conditions exist in New Orleans.
Melinda gives us the Sermon that God is more concerned with the poor than with the degradationand debauchery and corruption that many times lead to such conditions.
Melinda would do well to get a Concordance. The fact is that Jesus spoke more of 'personal sins' and "hell" than he did about the poor - a more than 1/300 ratio as a matter of fact.
But to the more secular points:
As to the Bush "cuts", the facts: Via Bill O'Reilly's talking points on the O'Reilly Factor which aired September 14th, 2005:
"Massive neglect? Let's take a look at that bit of overstatement. Halfway through President Clinton's tenure in office in 1996, the poverty rate was 13.7 percent. Halfway through President Bush's tenure, the rate is 12.7 percent, a full point lower.
In 1996, the Clinton budget allotted $191 billion for poverty entitlements. That was 12.2 percent of the budget and a whopping amount of money. That's why Bill Clinton (search) was called the first black president by some.
However, the Bush 2006 budget allots a record shattering $368 billion for poverty entitlements, 14.6 percent of the entire budget, a huge increase over Clinton's spending on poverty entitlements.
Again, the simple fact is that the poor of New Orleans owe their existence to corrupt socialistic/atheistic welfare entitlement programs than anything else, and corrupt - mainly democratic politicians living literally off the bones of the poor living in the New Orleans projects.
Moreover, the real Story of Katrina is that the idea of a Social Welfare state as an abject failure.
Now contrast that with the charity that is being outpoured on the refugees now in large part from faith based intitiatives, and specifically in the RED states and you see the results are very different. Programs that incidently don't create dependency, and helplessness, but foster independance and freedom.
In fact, that's what the refugees are finding out as they begin anew in other places throughout the US - away from the "jail" that was created for them in the "Big Easy".

How To Find Screen Resolution From Ubuntu Terminal
A very nice guy introduced me to the Xrandr in Europython 2013 and in this article I will teach you guys how to use this command line interface to find your screen resolution via the terminal. According to the description in the manual page, xrandr is used to set the size, orientation and/or reflection of the outputs for a screen. But we are cool linux geeks, so why not use the tool for finding out our screen resolution? Ok open a new terminal (CTRL+ALT+T in Ubuntu) and run the following command.
xrandr -q
What do you guys see? Can you understand anything from the following output?
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
1366x768 60.0*+
1360x768 59.8 60.0
1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.3 56.2
640x480 59.9
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
To make things simple we need to use the grep command like shown below.
xrandr -q | grep Screen
Minimum Screen Resolution: 320x200
Current Screen Resolution: 1366x768
Maximum Screen Resolution: 8192x8192

Do you know also what I should do if the outcome is like this:
minimum 640x480
current 640x480
maximum 640x480
but everything looks huge on my screen... the red cross button on the left top of every window is really a cm big (!!) While on my other computer that same button is half the size.
Can you give me a helping hand to solve this problem?
