Gasoline for free to those who present themselves in bikini
Tired of the same collected at service stations points that, in most cases, give trivial prizes? A Russian service station has decided to create a promotion very unusual but it has been highly successful.
It was in fact given to anyone who came a full bath and stilettos in costume. Unfortunately, however, the promotion only lasted three hours.
there have been the usual controversy from those who regarded the promotion offensive against women. Judging from the queue, however, the girls of the area did not think the same way. I'm not even missing men, many, did not hesitate to wear a bikini woman in order to have a fully free.
One of them told reporters: "This year has been really tough economically and I can easily withstand a few minutes of embarrassment to have a free full in my car."

MK II pinot noir 2013
winemakers comments: the MK II Pinot Noir is a single vineyard wine grown on the MK II vineyard in the Parkburn sub-region of the Cromwell Basin. It is a unique and captivating site on a north facing frost free slope. The wine is predominately made up of a parcel of Abel clone Pinot Noir that grows on a slight ridge within the block. We favour the grapes that grow there because the vines seem to struggle more than the rest of the block, and the fruit that is produced has smaller bunches and more intense flavours as a result. It is very spicy and the fruit is elegant and sinewy on the palate. We also pick at the same time a smaller amount of clone 777 & 667 on the gentler slope directly below the Abel. This parcel gives the wine good tannin structure and fruit weight.
wine notes:
An intense bouquet of black cherry and currants, with cranberry notes, all framed in dark spice aromas. On the palate the crunchy black cherry fruit dominates, supported by mouth coating velvety tannins and they combine to deliver excellent mid to back palate weight and structure. The finish is a flavoursome, long and sustained display of power and elegance.

The blind are having more and more problem in an increasingly digital society.
How easily we take our eyes for granted.
The dead are lucky.
The new born are lucky.
How quickly we forget our luck.
Beethoven couldn't hear anything but he produced some of the most remarkable music the world has ever known.
He did not believe in luck.
Belief does not know how to reckon with the immensity of an ocean
or the miracles of the seed.

Telemarketing Services Keep on Giving
When a telemarketer makes a sale to a new prospect, it shows that telemarketing works. And the nice thing about it is that it keeps on working!
Using it properly is the key. Each new sale creates a new customer. And that new customer is the source for many more sales. And telemarketing can help make it so.
Sure, we are talking about repeat business. But there is even more than that to help you get more sales. Such as:
- Referrals - entice your customer with a bonus to give you names of friends and neighbors who also may need your service.
- Cross selling - your customer may need other products you also have
- Upselling - your customer may decide to make a larger purchase if you just present ALL you can do for them
Your existing and new customer list is worth a fortune to your business. They already know you. And you can call them without being restricted by the NO CALL LIST, because you are already doing business with them.
Don't overlook using telemarketing to continue to increase your sales.

The Preservation and Community Work of Historic Harrisville
Historic Harrisville held its Spring Meeting of Incorporators on Saturday, April 22. The large gathering focused on the exciting work undertaken by Historic Harrisville in the past year and that is upcoming in the year to come.
Chairman Chick Colony began the meeting with some thought-provoking remarks regarding the past 46 years of Historic Harrisville. He challenged whether the organization remained "relevant, resourceful, resilient, and reckless," coming to the conclusion that yes – even after 46 years of operation in Harrisville, Historic Harrisville continues to push the boundaries and conduct important preservation and community revitalization work in a changing world.
Erin Hammerstedt, the new Executive Director of Historic Harrisville, talked about some upcoming projects. Interior work on 119 Mains Street is nearly complete. Exterior work will begin soon, and the project should be finished and the property rented by the end of June. Historic Harrisville hopes to acquire the adjacent property, 121 Main Street, in May. Erin also talked about upcoming improvements in the Harrisville General Store- the enlargement of the kitchen and the installation of air-conditioning, both of which will improve working conditions at the store. And finally, Erin discussed her goal to meet with tenants to learn about their spaces, and to work with Fred and the Trustees to develop a prioritized plan for needed projects. Erin is enjoying Harrisville, and welcomes input from all.
Historic Harrisville's Development Committee reported on recent and planned fundraising activities, and the Energy Committee provided an update on the Cheshire Mills Hydroelectric Project. Then other groups from Harrisville, including the Select Board, the Broadband/Cell Committee, the Historic District Commission, Planning Board, Conservation Commission and Trails organization then provided brief updates of their work.
The meeting concluded with Jim Rousmaniere's presentation entitled, Celebrating the Lowly Brick. Jim Rousmaniere is a writer who lives in Roxbury whose interest in brick developed during his early service on the board of the Historical Society of Cheshire County, of which he is now president. After his enjoyable presentation, lunch was served.
It was an informative and inspiring morning; incorporators were happy to hear of all the exciting changes and upcoming projects and share in the celebration of the preservation and community work of Historic Harrisville!

The mission of the Center for Talent Innovation is to drive ground-breaking research that leverages talent across the divides of gender, generation, geography, and culture; and to create a community united by an understanding that full utilization of the global talent pool is at the heart of competitive success.
Easing Racial Tensions at Work
Race discrimination outside of the workplace affects the majority of employees of color. Yet, while employees carry this pain to work, they cannot unburden themselves: more than two out of three are currently uncomfortable discussing race relations, and 29 percent feel it is never acceptable at their company to speak about experiences of race-based bias. Easing Racial Tensions at Work measures not only the cost of this silence, but also offers a trove of tactical ways to break it–and quantifies the benefits of doing so. READ MORE ABOUT THE REPORT

nest deep in the fir
you runplay tag now
you runplay tag now
each touch another eff-you
nest deep in the fir
don't let the birds be liars
chirping to me of
(does anyone still believe in)
a soft morning moment
treasured for its ease
I got all the gear
rappelling off the weekend
leaving a face in the past
where it is best kept
stepping out into Monday
the sparrows say
the sky changes
from black to blue
layers of cobalt and cerulean
over flames afar off
my horizon burning off a nightmare
that chased us through the night
running for home
over sooty streets
we were not overcome by the dark
aquamarine dancing with apricot
thoughts of the new day
hopes that the sun will ignite us
for we have become
day sleepers over time
all of our late-80's hopes
riding on blue and grey clouds
whilst melon and tea rose
slice the sky
the birds brought comfort to my window
as if they knew what I had done
(I used to think I was nice)
my empathy unrivaled-peerless
I must have lit myself on fire
signaling to the others (that we)
were finished. Showing up
day after day, like vultures
I do not lie baby. And
I will miss you (painfully)
This circle of regret
broken up here-now
now while we can get out
now that we can run
this room echoes
last night's chatter
and the birds' calls
before the sun rises
echo and repeat
each line so polite
so cutting in its precision
you called me friend
but you have left me here
to drown. Please do not
call me mate, I might
lose my grip on the buoy
all that is between here
and landfall, all I want
is a friend who is truthful
and to give in return
and birdsong
when the gray won't let up
let us tumble
through the hard knocks
so much
flotsam and jetsam
finding pillows
and piles of leaves
on which to land
where once
were only chasms
(birdsong always)

Lee A. Fell
Page 612-613 - Lee A. Fell. One of the new manufacturing and painting concerns of Grand Rapids is the Trio Body Shop, which, although it has been in existence only since June, 1924, has already built up a business which marks it as one of the thriving companies of its kind in the city. The proprietor of this establishment is Lee A. Fell who was born in New York city, November 14, 1883, the son of Samuel C. Fell, who was also a native of that state. Lee Fell began his education in the public schools of New York city, and when his family moved to Petoskey, Michigan, he completed his elementary education in the graded schools of that city. His parents died in Petoskey, and he came to Grand Rapids where he attended high school, being graduated from that institution. His education completed, he went into the automobile body making business. After several years at this work, he was made foreman of a plant and for twelve years thereafter he was shop foreman for a number of large concerns manufacturing automobile bodies. He is thoroughly conversant with every detail of automobile body construction and has specialized in the sheet metal phase of the work. In June, 1924, he established the Trio Body Shop, for painting, trimming and doing sheet metal work on automobile bodies. He has gathered around him a staff of skilled workmen, insuring the quality of the work which the plant puts out as the best that can be had in that line. Mr. Fell, as manager of his company, is known as a man of the strictest integrity and a manager of excellent executive ability. His shop is located at 700 Bond avenue, northwest, and is equipped in the most modern way to handle the cars that are brought to him. He has built up a trade during his short time in business for himself that has stamped him as one of the aggressive men and citizens of Grand Rapids. In 1907 he married Miss Mona Courtier, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Courtier, of Calumet, Michigan, and to this union has been born one son, Merl. Mr. Fell has made football his hobby and in this sport he has played on several well-known teams.

Description: Steven Thomas is one of two lucky winners of the U.S. Basketball Writer's Association's contest for aspiring journalists. His prize? A trip to New Orleans and a coveted press pass for the Final Four. It's a basketball junkie's dream come true! But the games going on behind the scenes between the coaches, the players, the media, the money-men, and the fans turn out to be even more fiercely competitive than those on the court.

Now they have just 48 hours to figure out who is blackmailing one of MSU's star players . . . and why.

M256 - Software Development with Java (supercondensed) - Unit 1 & 2
I've been an Open University student for the last four years, cobbling together a degree in Computing. My current one is M256 - Software Development with Java, and I have an exam on it in two weeks. Summarising the entire module in blog posts seems like the thing to do for these reasons -
It will help me revise (whilst sneakily allowing me to get writing).
If future students are anything like me, they will Google the module code before they start to see if anyone has anything interesting to say.
OU modules (or the STEM ones in any case, your mileage may vary) often give you really strict word count limits on written work, which generally leads to several hours spent cursing the English language, contorting and rejigging your answer word by word. Of course this rejigging process tends to mean you end up with what is actually a concise, information-dense little nugget that you have managed to commit to memory, just the sort of nugget you want to be able to use in an exam.
Anyway, here are the first two units -
Unit 1 - Introduction to software development
Software Development - Analysing a client's needs, then producing operational software which serves those needs.
Phases of software development -
- Requirements specification - Eliciting the client's needs and analysing them to produce a detailed requirements specification.
- Conceptual model design - Modelling the system domain. Classes, and the links between them, are proposed.
- Dynamic model design - Modelling of the interactions between objects to achieve tasks (several designs may be evaluated here)
- User interface design - Designing the way users will interact with the core system
- Detailed design and implementation - Finding any code that can be reused, deciding on appropriate programming constructs, writing the damn code at last
- Testing - Checks that phases of development against each other for consistency and completeness, and checks project against requirements
- Maintenance - Fixing emerging problems, fine tuning performance, enhancement and new features.
Predictive / 'Waterfall' Method - Follows sequence in order. Once done, phases are not revisited.
- Pro - Project managers like it - Helps time and resource planning
- Con - Client doesn't see a working system until end of the project
- Con - Testing may be rushed / neglected
- Con - Bugs discovered in testing may have rushed fixes, or none!
- Con - Unrealistic to expect absolutely no requirements changes
Adaptive / Iterative Methods (e.g Agile) - Many iterations over the phases, focusing on a small part of te work. Developers can build on previous work and review. Prioritises prototypes.
- Pro - Embraces change
UML is a modelling language based on diagrams that provides a way to model software designs clearly and unambiguously.
Object diagrams are static models and represent a 'snapshot' - the state of one or more objects at a point in time. Example -
- Sequence diagrams are dynamic models, they show the interaction of objects over time as the system performs some task. Example -
- Commonalities of object-oriented languages
- Messages
- Classes
- Inheritance
- Polymorphism
- Data hiding
Documentation is important - They show how the software was implemented, what it does, why, and how to use it.
Comments in Java -
* Javadoc comment (generates documentation)
* @param aParam
* @return aParam
* @throws IllegalArgumentException
public Thing getThing(ThingName aThingName) {
// this is a standard comment
return aThing;
A CASE (Computer-aided Software Engineering) Tool helps with software development (e.g. an IDE or programming text editor, a UML modelling tool, a testing tool, etc.)
Unit 2 - Requirements specification
Two main steps -
- Eliciting the client's requirements for the system
- Analysing these requirements to produce a requirements document
Requirements specification demands understanding of both the business area (the general context) and the system domain (specific real-world application of system)
Eliciting requirements - Goal is to describe each task the system must perform in plain, concise English (so that both client and developers can understand) - A description of this kind is a use case
- Ask questions to clarify - Refine details iteratively
- Define scope - Breadth of services, 'will do' and won't 'do'
- Behavioural requirements - Specific tasks required of system
Requirements document
- Culmination of the requirements specification phase -
- An unambiguous statement of the tasks the system is expected to perform.
- Can form the contract between client and developer (helps avoid 'scope creep' and manages expectations on both sides)
- Main parts
- Business context / system domain
- Behavioural requirements as a series of use cases
- Constraints - Requirements other than behaviour, such as platform, OS, tools to be used, database, performance, security, legal...
- Acceptance tests
Distinguishing between behavioural requirements and constraints
- Behavioural requirements describe what the system should do
- Constraints describe how it should do it
Acceptance tests - Aims to prove (via a test pass) to the client that the software works as specified. Acceptance tests are usually developed in parallel with the use cases. Example -
Use case - 'Display order' The system displays the products code, description and price (at the time of order) for each item on the order, with the date, order numer, and total cost
Acceptance tests - 'Display order' 1 - Test that an order is displayed correctly when there are no items on the order 2 - Test that an order is displayed correctly when there are items on the order

Pace your hate, as you line up for the cause Of suppression. Homogenous populations, all the same, in tacky Red hats that Support a change to control the liberal masses And their ideology Of helpful compassion. They give to others what We don't have. Betrayed by life, we blame all of you who want to Continue Roosevelt's policy. Heard on Fox news, conflicted and wounded, Unmade in their beds. Giving a face globally of self-centered anger, A movement thought dead. Those who hate, have buried seed, seed from Eons hidden from light. Majority voters, liberal thinkers, compassionate Lovers of all, Who are these new oppressed? Your mother, father, sister, Brother, uncle, niece, aunt. All liberals want is a chance to be happy, to share, To be kind and considerate. This is a crime, signed by a swirly pen, by a old man With tangerine skin, gibbonlike,jumping up and down, Red hair dyed so that he cannot be old. A screamer, A bully wishing to be King of the swamp, the dark underbelly, anti-regulations Of protection. Our new leader, a sociopath, a leader of sociopaths, Of spies and lies. This is what the haters wanted. A chance to burn with Fire and fist. To force back into the box the godless, the "fairy", The rebel child. Force back into the box the librarian who allows that Filth on her shelf. Force back into the haze, our global responsibilities, The cost we should not Bear, and bare the back without brother, the bible Thumper in bunny clothes. Beware your hate, for you are a candle in the dark, Beware your match. Reason is a dangerous opponent on the battlefield, Where compassion Equals hope, hospitals, schools, wells, medical care, Where a bridge Is not too far, it pulls, tugs, pushes our knowledge Of others, like a kite. Beware the actor, the captain, the ship, who find Lie after lie And tattle to the world. Pace your hate, because I Will extinguish it.

A Late Love Story
Wrong time, wrong man,
Spite, trial by fire,
Death by booze,
Small little hands held
Me back from suicide.
Small head, large needs,
Hungry, thirsty,
They consumed me
From his indifference.
If I couldn't be his wife,
I would be perfect.
I would be mother
Of his children.
Wrong time, right man,
Not who I would choose,
With his loud words.
With his lack of tact.
Meaning nothing to me.
I have boxed my heart.
But sometimes, …
Bad diagnosis, lost heart,
Right time, right man,
I spiraled down
Wings flaming,
Phoenix consumed.
He holds a fire extinguisher.
He stays.
Has my story just begun
my sweet romance…

Christmas Photo Prompt
Thursday photo prompt – Christmas Present – #writephoto
The shine of a Christmas tree in the boughs decorated with shiny balls and silvery lights lit the child's face as nothing had done before. Chilly temperatures in the house made seeing a tree inside a logical thing, as the child had just learned cold. One year of age and just twenty days more and all of the learning that had occurred until that day melded together to make Christmas a mystical experience. The cautionary voices of mother and grandmother as they mentioned that she should look, but not touch, gave the child the first knowledge of something precious that couldn't be grasped. Christmas would be a fleeting moment in her development. As soon as the mystery was grasped, it was also gone. Two weeks in the eyes of a child, and Christmas would be a compounding memory each year. The grandmother's tree, decorated with family ornaments from 21 years of marriage, filled with family history and time would sit in the child's eyes out of focus and just out of reach but remembered distantly. A message about a baby. About animals. That was my first Christmas.
Two years later, another child came to learn of the mystery of Christmas. Another one year old, and a little more, stood beneath the tree decorated with sugar cookies because the young couple was making do with what they had. Now there were three children, and a young couple trying to be independent and having none of the money for extras. The sounds of carols from a record player filled the air, and the youngest toddler heard the admonition that he should look but not touch. The cookies hung so temptingly. So he stood with his hands behind his back and bit off all of the feet as mother made a dinner and father went out to seek a Christmas present with only ten dollars in his pocket. He sought it at a hardware store, and finding something he remembered from his Christmas's long past, a sled with bright red runners. The cost, too great, but he looked at it longingly. The spirit of Christmas filling his eyes, and seen by a salesman, was suddenly his as the man gave him the sled for seven dollars instead of twenty. He would play in the snow with his wife and children, pulling the sled down snow covered sidewalks. All of them young and happy in the moment, then it was gone. But the sled remained for many years, a testament to the spirit of sharing.
Another year, and baby three arrived. Christmas in the blue eyes at only four months of age, now living with Grandmother and Granddad as the world changed. Korea was over, Vietnam was foretold in the news. But in the home, with it's generations, life was safe and beautiful. This year the cookies hung above the little boys head, just out of reach, except when the oldest would lower the branches just so, entertaining himself and his brother. The toys the children received gratefully disappearing into memory, a doll, a truck, a book or two, all to be well loved and used.
Another year, and the house stood on the banks of the Mississippi, and the newest edition to the family being a parakeet who flew into the open window that summer and stayed for over ten years. Uncle Ned liked the tree and the lights. This year cookies came from a Swedish bakery and were placed in a clear jar only to be opened by the mother and father. Large cookies tasting of peanut butter, sugar, chocolate chips and the mother's oatmeal raisin cookies tempting good behavior and giving instant reinforcement when that behavior was given with ungrudging enthusiasm. It was the first tree that was in focus for me. I had received my glasses that summer. It is the first tree I remember, the clarity of vision adding mysticism to the experience. This Christmas too was fleeting. But I was now old enough to know that there would be more.
The next Christmas in another grandparent's house, for my Grandmama needed help from my parents in managing all of the daily tasks. The room was dark, but lit by the tree. Mom never had enough time to do all of the things she needed to do. Now she was no longer working forty hours a week, instead she was making all of our clothes, cooking and baking all of the meals, cleaning the house, playing with us, reading with us, showing her competence but feeling graded at every moment.
I missed a memory the next year. The only thing I remember is singing a hymn about Jesus and the animals. "Jesus our brother kind and good, was humbly born in a stable rude and the friendly beasts around him stood." I sang that song until June. Over and over, my poor mother must have been driven nuts by it. I started school the next year at 4 1/2. I now think that my mother must have sent me early so that she could have a break. With four babies in under five years, her hands were full and she never complained or rejected us. She did need her own place to be totally happy and that happened as we started school.
The year after, we moved into our own house a few blocks away. Those years are filled with the memory of my brother making my father laugh as he pretended to be a goat head butting him in the knees. The trees got taller. We accumulated shiny balls and figures of ancient Santas, tinsel carefully cherished from year to year. My mother made incredible ornaments from egg cartons. She made tall angels to sing in a choir out of bottles and styrofoam balls, gold paint and old sheets. There was nothing cheap about the way they looked, gleaming as they did on the one book case we owned. She made a sled out of cardboard boxes to hold presents and keep them tidy and the tree safe. We were given an apple and an orange each Christmas by Santa once our stockings were big enough to hold them. There was always a candy cane. And Robert Shaw and Harry Simone came to symbolize the way Christmas should be sung about. One year, four stockings arrived from my Aunt Diana, and pajamas the next, a start of new traditions. We went to the Swedish Institute and learned of the tale of St. Lucia. Red candle holders turned up sometime in the first few years. Ribbons hung from the curtains, in gold and green combinations and splendar.
Mom did most of the work getting ready. Dad would put the lights on the tree and we would decorate. Dad would work. He made ice for the skating rinks, leaving in the early morning to put new ice on the rinks for Christmas. Then skates arrived one year, left over from other children who no longer fit them, Dad brought them home and we learned to skate. Granddad came to skate with us. I skated on my bottom more than my feet, eventually switching to rubber boots so I could stay up. It took me years to learn. So many Christmases. We lost my grandmothers early, and missed them each year.
My mother would make clothes and toys for us by hand. She would make new clothes for the dolls that my sister and I owned. And when I discovered that she was the spirit of Mrs. Santa, she enlisted my help. She and my older brother made me a doll house from a cardboard box that looked so real and was the dream I had thought I would never receive. My mother was Christmas. For us, Christmas was the moment when we could all be happy, safe, and full of joy. We were a lot like the Whos down in Whoville. Somewhere in the early years in the green house, we became recipients of gifts from the VFW. That had been a tight year, and we were invited to a Children's Show. Every child there received a gift by name from Santa. I wonder now if it hadn't been part of the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. No matter, the VFW make Christmas real. My older brother got a lock which had a gun hidden inside it that worked with caps. My baby brother got a gum ball machine, which was also a savings bank. We helped him eat all of the gum balls, only to feel chagrin later in life for having done so. My sister and I got dolls, although I don't remember any more. I remember sitting in that room feeling special and valued. We didn't feel like poor church mice even when money was so very tight. Then there was the Christmas that the stockings hung empty, and my father said we had not been good, Santa hadn't come. Oh the tears welled up in our eyes, and just before we all cried boohoo, gifts were discovered, too large to fit in the stockings. Oh such joy. We had been good, as good as normal children could be. I had a stove and refrigerator that I loved until I went to College and played with constantly with my dolls. It was just the right size.
And I grew, lean and uncoordinated, very slowly, but woke up one day knowing that the time of family celebrations being over was coming soon, and not wanting them to go. But they did. I went to college and learned more of the music of the season, carefully taught by teachers who believed that the music was more than for enchanting children. I learned of nuns, and sacrifices, and brought home that knowledge for two weeks of trees and changing brothers and sisters.
Then I was gone, living on the west coast, and rejoining once more a Christmas at my Granddad's home, which fleetingly sped past as only two days was allowed for my visit. I was gone again, this time to the East Coast where Christmas became the time I was to be married. The ceremony held in Minneapolis, just a few days after Christmas, so full of family and time that I could barely grab the holiday. I remember that it was cold, -5 degrees in the morning, and then warm 45 degrees by noon. The wedding hung over the holiday and mixed the two so in my mind that I have never been able to separate them.
After that, I had my own children. Two years apart they acted like twins by the time the boy was four and the girl was two. We had trees and presents and travelled from one family to the next for family dinners. We now had three family dinners, one with my husband's grandparents, one with my parents and one with my Aunt Diana and Uncle Herb. The first four years were as rough for us as had been for my parents. Poor in cash but rich in grownups who realized I had bitten off more than I could chew. They provided me with stability and the knowledge that life would provide us with enough speed bumps as to make it interesting. My focus at Christmas became the tree. I could never equal what my mother had done for us, although I tried. I baked gingerbread cookies for the tree, but no one nibbled on the feet. I had learned the tale of my brother and took precautions. Each year we added ornaments that we made, candy canes made of shiny plastic beads carefully sequenced in patterns. We made bread dough ornaments. We colored paper chains and threaded cranberries and popcorn. I made some dresses for my daughter but was nothing like my mother whose clothes had turned out perfectly. I worked. I, like my mother, had gone back to school when my kids reached an age where they could understand that I needed to do homework. They were in second grade and kindergarden. My poor mother had had to wait until we were in high school. Somehow she had managed all of the decorating, shopping, baking, cooking, and never missed a step. Me, I stumbled all over the place, but my heart was in the right place even if my skills weren't.
My father died when my son was 14, and my daughter ll 3/4. It was 1995, and I remember insisting that mom come down and stay with us. I was teaching by then. She filled the day with joy, even though her heart was broken. In the years that followed, she began packing up Christmas and moving it to a place further away in her closet. It wasn't the same without my dad. It wasn't the same for me either. He had taken such joy in what my mother had created for Christmas, and that joy must have been the reason she continued to be so creative for so many years.
One winter my family from Minnesota came to Virginia for the holiday. My older brother, my little sister, her husband and two children, my younger brother and my mom all fit into our house in one fell swoop. We went to Mount Vernon and Williamsburg. I was informed that I was the favorite aunt because my lap was cushy by one of my nieces.We had the tree and a feast. It felt like the old days in the green house for me. I gave my little brother a ha' penny, but he missed the symbolism. It didn't matter, I got the message. I wanted my family to know that they were loved. Mom took photographs, as mom always does.
Then my children grew. In 1998 the first MS attack that we can document with a certainty occurred and I slowed down. I couldn't do the things I loved to do. My children stepped up and helped with the tree becoming more and more competent each time. Popcorn and Cranberries were no longer on the tree. Mom donated some of her ornaments and the cats took the tree out that year, as cats are wont to do. They broke and it made me sad, but still the tree was reassembled and the holiday went okay. After that, my kids were grown and mom started going out to Minnesota for the holidays. We each got her for two or three days, but the season seemed fragmented without her.
One Christmas Eve, we had finished the tree that night, my husband having to work, and the kids had a surprise for me. We had been married 24 years, and that evening my husband brought me an engagement ring. I guess he figured out he wanted me to hang around. Time sped up.
When my son returned from the Navy, he brought a wife. She had troubles, but her children were sweet. We had a tree and took the kids to all of the places children should go when they visit a grandparent. It was only for that one Christmas, but we were exhausted at the end. I lost ten pounds that holiday. It was a nice perk.
One year, we had a Charlie Brown tree that the kids found and took the bottom branch of the tree in the back year from. They wrapped a blue sheet around the bottom and it had two ornaments, one from Charlie Brown that we had had, and a new Charlie Brown ornament from my dear friend Ana.
The next Christmas and those following found my family working to keep the holidays of Halloween and Christmas according to tradition. Until present day, we struggled along as best we could. But this Christmas arrived on my birthday with all of the bells and whistles and I feel that joy that I must have felt when I was one and the tree was lit with magic. This Christmas coming in a week will be our best. My husband took a week off. We plan to go to an arboretum to see lights. The tree is up and I made handmade ornaments to add to the collection. My daughter-in-law will be staying for the holiday. My son has taken a few days off work. And the cooperation between my two children is something new and something I wanted to see. My son-in-law has been putting up with all of this Christmas stuff for me, even though he doesn't like the holiday. My father-in-law will be here. There is a new baby due in the family soon, my niece is expecting her first any day now.
There is a dark part to this Christmas, one I don't generally talk about and try not to let it take over my holiday. I'm not sure how many more times I will have to celebrate the holiday. My father's side of the family dies at about 65 and that is 6 years away. I know, I shouldn't dwell on such a thing and I should take one day at a time and be glad for the times I have. But really, 65 is way to young to die. I've just figured out how to play the game here. It's all gone by so fast. It's the hospital stay that brought this on. But I will blink and block these darker thoughts for now. I've got what I wanted most for Christmas. I have a family. I wish mom could be here but she's jet setting around the world as she likes to do. She'll stay long enough to make sure that things are still Christmas and move to the next sibling. I'll have her back soon enough. I know, I have a book for her present and she is a bibliophile. She can't resist a book. Neither can I.
I'm off to watch Christmas shows and create some presents from "Stuff" I have lying around that needs to be created with. I want to leave something beautiful for each of my family to glow for many more years.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays…remember the light.

Better had you called her Mother, For mother she was before you stole Her every waking moment with your needs. She never minded the change that goes with: I need water, cookies, a story.

All About Writing Prompt: Lady in the Park
Ranger Percy took her duties seriously. She followed a routine that began with first light and ended well into the dark. It was a routine that most new mothers are accustomed to having:
Change the babies,
Feed the babies,
Out the dog,
In the dog,
Feed the dog,
Prepare for the charge of the babysitter,
Out the door,
She loved her job, creating a safe haven for those who needed to touch nature. Everyday, she followed the park's trails looking for the beauty she could point out to others. Somedays the park was quiet, and those quiet days were filled with the sights of fawns, ground hogs, bald eagles, osprey. Other days were filled with activity, crowds surging to the river with their churches, earnestly baptizing rogue elements and bringing them back under the banner of the church, praying for the devil to be gone, and sharing an open barbecue with any who wandered near. Or perhaps it was the weddings that were held under the white picnic shelter where everything was new and clean, that fit into her fancy. Somedays the park was filled with rain and wind or snow that caused the gates to stay locked. On those days she poured extra coffee into herself and watched the antics of the deer under the picnic shelters. Safety first, she would think at the deer. Then she would smile at the idea that the deer were so well-trained they avoided the drifts and acted like tourists.
Logs washed up on the riverbank with the changing tides. Ranger Percy would wander among them along the beach selecting interesting driftwood from the boring logs. She saved them for a local woman who wandered through the park, talking to herself, who would paint them with scenes of fish underwater or goblins lurking and then leave them like a sacrifice to the wild. Percy would load them into her vehicle and put them on display at the Visitor's Center.
Second equipment check,
Drive the parking lots,
Return to office,
Read mail,
Call babysitter.
The windows of the Visitor Center filled with steam as the class on batiking for teenagers flowed on. She wandered over to the gift counter and rubbed the steam from the window, only to move rapidly out of the center to the walkway that led up and away from the building. Her homeless woman, the one she left the driftwood out for, knelt on the ground mumbling to herself. She had knife in one hand which she raised over her head and then plunged into a bundle of flannel.
"This for your heart.
This for your hands.
This for your feet
To travel to different lands."
"Come, my dear, for
where you bleed, is here
in the present and a gift
To succeed. Travel through the smoke…"
Then she lifted the knife and held it over her head saluting the sky. A bag lay on sidewalk, close but not touching her.
"Are you okay, lady? I haven't seen you around much. Is something wrong?" Slowly Percy moved toward the lady. She kept her handgun in its holster, preferring instead to calm her and keep her from injuring herself or another.
The lady looked at her blankly for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I'm not okay. I will never be okay. I am not sure I will make it through the day, let alone the night. Nothing will be the same."
"Would you like to have some tea with me? We could go to my office in the Visitor's Center, it is a lot warmer there too."
"Why should you care? The world left me long ago. No one will remember me."
"Come with me. I'll show you something. I'll make us some tea."
They rose together.
Pours cup.
Shares cup.
"Thank you, but this is only tea. Nothing can leave my place filled when I'm gone, and I will be gone."
Breathes deeply.
Reaches inside.
Holds door.
"This is the room I made for you. You left these behind you. I was so surprised to see how they all went together, a mural. Is the display all right with you?"
The bag was opened. The flannel set to one side, with the knife now out of view, and the before the ranger's eyes was a small wooden figure carved so carefully that it seemed alive. With a sudden intake of air, the figure opened its eyes and reached out to her.
The lonely old lady was gone.

Limerick Challenge: Week 46 Women
Limerick Challenge Week 46: Over The Years!
I haven't tried my hand at a limerick for twenty years or so. My mother read us limericks as children and they were lovely silliness. Edward Lear caught all of us up in his style. His limericks and his Owl and the Pussy Cat were read more than once to four small children with wild vocabularies. Mom used the patterns of the poetry to calm us down and settle us in. We hated when she turned out the light, not because we were scared, but because we wanted the time to continue.
There is a strength to limericks that allows one to mock or support an idea. They are easy to remember, falling into the rhyming and syllable count. I loved the examples that this young mother gave. In fact, I was amazed that she is promoting the weekly contests out of her own pocket to give others the power to express themselves. She's one of those young millennial that you find in the midst of thinking, writing, authoring. Strong women are the topic this week. So, mom, these are for you. (Oh, she's Lois in the notes if you ever need to talk to her about me and my very normal insanity. Just peek at the bottom and like a jinni she'll appear.)
My mother read books to us every night, Teaching her children to read and write, Her daughters so young, Developed a tongue, That made them unmanageable frights.
Okay, that was harder than it seemed. My mother did read to us every night if she weren't falling over with exhaustion. And my sister and I are indeed frights for the women's movement raising strong daughters. Hers in the hard sciences, mine in anthropology.
Genevieve's homework would nightly pursue, The dreams of a dragon that would misconstrue, That she was in charge, With lethal energy large, As her fictional writings of monsters she grew.
Limericks are supposed to be silly, but they don't have to be. The syllables don't have to be exact between lines, but the hard emphasis on the first grouping of syllables needs to be followed by two soft syllables. That's no easy thing, unless you nap as mother reads.
My mother would spend her time counting sheep, When she did global markets allowed her to reap, Buckets of gold, For the produce she sold, As she took over bull markets and made them weep.
If you want help rhyming, there is a wonderful page called www.therhymezone.com that can help you rhyme almost anything. Balance your limerick on the tip of your tongue and see if you can find a pattern that soothes you.
Anyway, I'll be posting more silliness later. Practicing formulaic poetry gives you the ability to change your style to match the need of the message you want to portray. I don't see Limericks making it into my top ten forms, but then, I have a lot of practicing to do.

That would be the common troll. Their goal is to disrupt. By disrupting
they make themselves feel important.
Then there are the trolls who are on a mission. Their goal is to preach
to those who don't want to be preached to.
As several have pointed out the trolls do serve a purpose. They
challange us to think about what we assume to be true. They can also
jumpstart conversation on a list where posts have died down.
New subscribers do this too. The trick is to tell the difference
between a troll and someone who respectfully thinks different than most
here. One way to tell is trolls tend to flood the list with multiple
posts. Often they claim to agree and then say the exact opposite in
their next post. The latest troll did exactly that several times.
One reason we let the trolls post quite a few times before banning them
is we try to avoid banning someone who is simply having a difficult
time throwing off their religious programming and understanding that we
are not just a different religion, that we have a whole different way
of thinking than they are used to.
> From: anngraves@...I wouldn't call it stalking because I was a member of the Gospel of Thomas group before him, but I did point out the flaws in John Moon's posts on that group after he was banned here.
> Maybe we should stalk him back. lol
I have stopped now because I found out he has been having personal problems.

How to create a bash script with sudo password as a parameter
For some reason, We need to create a bash script then execute it as a sudo user. When We run this simple command directly on the terminal, We just type the password easily. But, in bash script We need to read stdin as a parameter to our sudo script. Then, to solve this, We need an -S command in bash

I recently did a video comparing render times in Adobe Premiere three of the top laptops that I could get a hold of: the MacBook Pro, 15-inch with Touch Bar, all the way specced out, the Surface Book with Performance Base, all the way specced out, and a gaming laptop from a company called Razer.
The laptop's called the Razer Blade.
Now again, this was not meant to be a laptop comparison.
It was simply showcasing task that I do every single day in Premiere on these different machines to illustrate how that works on those devices.
In that video, it was pretty apparent that the Razer Blade just kind of whooped the rest of their butts.
It also happens to have the most powerful GPU in it, and, go figure, it was able to do the super graphics intensive job of rendering footage the fastest.
The MacBook, on the other hand, which is probably the laptop most people think of when they think of editing video, but also has the least most powerful graphics card, did the worst.
Now, you would think, that's pretty definitive, right? It's not.
(hip hop groove) While it is true that if you were using Premiere and you're just looking for the speed and performance of using the footage as well as the speed of rendering times, then the other laptops are gonna be better for you than the new MacBook Pro.
But, as I briefly mentioned at the end of that video, if you use Final Cut, all of that goes out the window.
Let me show you what I mean.
Here are the times from the original video.
Now, here is the MacBook Pro running the same four minutes of 4.6K footage from myBlackmagic URSA Mini 4.6K out at the same codec and resolution of the Premiere test, which is the equivalent of the 4K YouTube preset.
27 minutes in Premiere becomes about five minutes in Final Cut and is even less than half the time of the winning Razer Blade 2016.
Crazy, right? As far as I can tell, though, from talking to a bunch of professional editors, who edit for feature films, for TV, at production houses, you name it, they do a lot of editing.
It comes down to optimization.
Apple makes the software, Final Cut Pro.
They also make the hardware, in this case, the Macbook Pro, and in doing that, they can actually do a lot more optimizations between the two than, say, Premiere, which runs on a ton of different machines, and Windows, which is also on a ton of different devices, different hardware manufacturers, et cetera.
So, why would you use Premiere if Final Cut is so much faster? Well, besides personal preference, which does play a part in just workflow and how you like to use it, there are a few factors that kept coming up every time I asked editors this exact question.
Also, some editors told me why Premiere was better and ones that told me why Final Cut was better, and they're both not wrong.
Let's just point that out.
We'll get into that later.
They're not wrong.
But I want to just go through quick the pros to each of them so that everybody kind of understands why you would choose Premiere or Final Cut over the other.
First up, Final Cut Pro 10.
As mentioned, the optimization of the software built specifically for the hardware makes it probably the fastest editing program in the world, so speed is a huge factor.
Because of those optimizations, by the way, that help with speed, they also help with battery life, so this is another factor for people that are using Final Cut Pro.
The magnetic timeline.
For a lot of editors, this is not a feature; it is a gripe.
Most of them have come from the world of Final Cut 7 or any other editing software, and they're using to have tracks.
They're used to the just having a bunch of different tracks to where they could put the video, the audio, and all that other stuff.
So when Final Cut ten was released, and it got rid of that and gave this fascinating thing.
People were not happy.
But, when it's used in conjunction with some features in Final Cut Pro 10; for example, Auditions, you can select multiple takes of a clip, have them easily swap in and out in a specific part of the video with the timeline automatically adjustingeverything around it, even if the clips are all different lengths.
Lastly, a better UI.
Simply put, Final Cut Pro 10 is more intuitive than Premiere.
Common actions that might take multiple clicks in Premiere just take less in Final Cut 10.
Beyond that, it's just a cleaner-looking interface that quote-unquote gets out of your way when editing.
Now, as far as Adobe Premiere concerned, here were the points that editors were keptbringing up for that.
The track-based editing allows for editors to better organize their footage.
All the sound effects for the clip can go on one track, all of camera one on one, camera two on another, background music on one, vocals on another, et cetera.
This allows for things like adjusting the audio of just one track a whole lot easier and just makes it a lot more organized and easier to look at your footage and get through it and know where you wanna make changes, et cetera.
It works with every format, codec, and on every machine.
You could throw a Mp4, and Avi, Mov, some RED footage, five different audio formats, and will all run cohesively.
Not to mention you can run it on a PC, on Mac, any number of different machines, regardless of the manufacturer of that machine.
It can also output in every format, codec, et cetera.
So there's a giant list of options, and for someone just outputting to YouTube, that might not matter.
But, for example, editors cutting a commercial for a television network might need to output their video in format to give to the audio guy who then is going to take that and be able to work natively in Pro Tools with the audio that was in the editor's timeline, et cetera.
So Much Color grading.
While in Final Cut you can use plugins to get a lot of different color grading options, Premiere has a huge, robust set of color grading options built right in.
If you are a YouTuberwho's just using the color straight out of your camera, it's not the biggest deal, but if you're shooting raw or log footage, and you need to put the color back in, as well as maybe use lots and adds shades of color for emotional manipulation of the audience, it's a bigger deal.
The Suite of Adobe.
When you get a CreativeCloud account with Adobe, you get all of their software, programs like Audition, which is used for professional audio editing, After Effects, which is used for professional motion graphics, et cetera.
Not only that, but any files from any Adobe program like After Effects orAudition can be pulled into your video's timeline, and if you edit them back in After Effects, for example, it will update in real-time in the timeline.
And finally, collaboration options or working in a team.
Premiere is just better at being used by groups.
Project files can easily be shared with proxies of the footage everyone's machine, edited and updated in real-time across all the editors, using Team Project files.
The footage, the formats, as mentioned before.
Everything you want it to do that you would then need to maybe hand off to a different department, a color corrector, the audio guy, whatever.
It's just a lot easier to do with Premiere because it's just so much more universally able to be accepted by everyone else's machines and programs, et cetera.
Render times.
Final Cut is the pretty much gonna win, most of the time.
It's just hard to beat that optimization of the software with the hardware.
Now, you can build a machine, especially a Windows machine, that will have equivalent reader times, et cetera, using Premiere, but it's gonna take a lot more power to do that.
So, Premiere kind of sacrifices the speed and all of that optimization for being able to be more universally accepted, be used on more machines and have a little bit more functionality in it as well.
At the end of the day, like any other equipment that a filmmaker or an editor would use to have their film become a reality, your editing program is just another tool to get that job done.
So, in the same way, youmight use one camera or a lens for a specific project or look, or whatever you were trying to get, there is no best editing program.
There is maybe the best editing program for your specific project's needs.
There you go, guys.
Adobe versus Final Cut.
I know you all have lotof opinions about this.

Author has written 3 stories for Harry Potter, and Glee.
FYI, Glee has taken over my life. Sorry HP'ers.
My greatest aspiration now is to write the words "The End."
Oh, look at that. Dreams do come true.
So...update here. I'm currently back to working on Til Human Voices Wake Us, since it seems to have taken over my imagination. Whatever it Takes is pretty much on the back-burner for a while, but that doesn't mean that I won't return to it again. I have a lot more adventure planned for that story, including a hitchhiking road trip that I need to do a bit of research for, so hopefully it'll be worth the wait.
Also, I'm getting to a point where it's hard to keep up with consistency...I need a reader's point of view, and someone willing to bounce ideas with. So...on the lookout for a beta.
So, about me...well, I've been living in a military town for the past year, working about 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, and even the most heartfelt love for my job didn't save me from the consequences of prolonged stress. Therefore, I worked myself sick, lost my job, and am now moving back in with my parents. Not easy to do, at my age. But, on the plus side, that leaves me a whole lot of time for writing now. It also leaves me with a medical condition and no affordable health insurance, but hey, maybe Hell will freeze over, certain people will grow a conscience, and we'll actually get universal health care in this country. Or maybe I'll just become a stripper.
Hey, so I finally got around to writing my profile page! Any of you who have read my work know that I'm probably the world's worst updater. It takes me 2-3 days to write a chapter, but months to get myself to do it. Why? Because I'm a procrastinator, I love reading too much, and I have nobody giving me a detention if I miss a due date.
I'm not in high school. In fact, I've already graduated college. I'm at that age where I've been thrown out into the water and told to swim. I have four jobs, a dog, and a broken vacuum cleaner. If you have a dog, then you know how much I've been sneezing lately because of this. I also have a life-size cardboard cuttout of Orlando Bloom as Legolas. If you're Orlando Bloom and you're reading this, sorry if that freaks you out. If you had a cardboard cuttout of me, it would freak me out. Actually, no it wouldn't. Marry me?
I've been reading Harry Potter fanfiction for a little over a year now. I prefer action/adventures that actually have action and don't just say they do. I also read romance, and as you can see from my favorites list I like both het and slash stories, mostly HP/DM. I'd like to write a slash story in the future, but Whatever it Takes will be sticking to cannon.
I absolutely abhor stories in which Harry dies in the end. And anyone who thinks that JK Rowling is going to off him in book 7 needs a reminder that these books were originally written for children and Rowling is not going to willfully traumatize an entire generation of prepubescents just to be unpredictable. Not to mention book sales would plummet. Comprendez?

I really loved the entire series: I loved the books, and I found the TV series very true to the book and very watchably funny!
Pure classic.
Did anybody else read this series or watch the TV series?
Well, apparently someone has done me and other fans a great big favor and made a new movie about the original book, 'The hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.
I don't have any illusions that it will be a blockbuster money maker (I'll keep my finger's crossed though!, but I think I will enjoy it just the same!
Ah Zaphod... I wish he really was president of the galaxy.
It's got John Malkovich in it! (there's an entry at IMD.
I'm surprised it doesn't have Johnny Depp as Ford Prefect, seems like the sort of kooky movie he would do.
If you can get hold of the original radio series that is the absolute best (the books were based off the radio show afterall)
Nothing like finding a 10 mile high statue of yourself, and a concrete cup floating in mid-air by the "power of art".... then discovering both of them are covered in giant pidgeon s**t ^_^

I will say that The Hitchhiker series are by far the greatest books I have ever read. I would suggest them to anyone who has never read them to pick up a copy of at least the first book and read it. I didn't like to read much before this series, and now I practically have a library of books.
As for the movie... we'll see if it lives up to my expectations.

Hitch hikers guide looks superb, i have seen some of the trailers for it, and it looks superb.
Fans of the books/radio series will either love it or hate it, that simple. If it remains truthful to the original material, then it will be great.
The effects look really good as well.
The TV series was a little lame, but then again what do you expect with a BBC budget for special effects - Dr Who springs to mind, although that is getting revamped at the moment and will be aired early spring in the UK.
If you like Hitch Hikers, try getting the Red Dwarf books, written as a collaboration of Grant and Naylor, again this was a radio series, then a TV series and then books, but they go along the same lines as hitch hikers - UK twist on sci fi.
Space Wolves are badasses that operate just barely within the rules.
13th Co. didn't even know there were rules applying to how badass they could be.
... and Daemonhunters make it three - now just need a spare room to store it all!!!
It looks a great book but ik havnt read it yet.(too busy painting darn goblins)

|Swarm Removal Placement
|Cut Out Placement
Procedures to Get a Listing on the MBA Swarm Removal Map
Step 1. There are two categories for a listing on the Swarm Removal page: swarm removal and cut outs. You can create a list for one or the other, but not both. If you do cut outs and want to also advertise swarm removal, then you can mention this in the text of your listing.
Step 2. To sign up for the swarm removal page, you must place a classified ad in one of the "Swarm Removal" categories (Swarm Removal or Cut Outs). Placing the ad must be done through the MBA web site. When you place a swarm removal classified ad you will also get a location marker on the map. To place the ad go to the "Market Place" menu option on the MBA web site and then go to the "Place Ad" page.
Step 3. Complete the information on the "Place Ad" page. For the "Ad Category", you MUST select either the "Swarm Removal" or "Cut Out" sub-category. Your name, email address and phone number are required entries. Your city may be helpful to those looking at your ad. The "Item Price" entry can be left blank.
You have 250 characters to make your pitch. This is entered in the "ad details" section on the form. Keep it short; you are more likely to get a response. You MUST enter your complete address on the FIRST line of the text. For example… "1234 N Main Street, Lansing, MI 48823". This is required in order to locate your marker on the map. Submissions without an address will be rejected.
There are four "Ad Terms" one of which MUST be used for a swarm removal listing; two are for MBA members and two are for non-MBA members. Select the term which applies to you.
NOTE: If you select a term for "MBA member", then your membership must be current. Otherwise, your listing will be rejected. To check your membership status, click here (this list is only updated periodically). Or you may contact MBA and ask.
If you are required to make a payment, you will be taken to PayPal after you complete the "Place Ad" page and the subsequent "Image" page. Payments can only be made with a credit or debit card.
Step 4. After completing your listing, a confirmation email will be sent to you. If you don't get this confirmation email, then check your spam folder. You may want to include emails from the domain "mba-bees.org" as an acceptable sender in your email spam filter.
Step 5. MBA will process your listing. Please give us up to a week to complete this task. If you don't see your listing and marker on the map after that time, please contact MBA.
Note: Although comments to this post are open, comments must be limited to policies and procedures as published on this post. All other comments will be disallowed.
