Hello My Beauties,
Spring has sprung and with all the rain we've been getting here in the Valley, it's about as green as a four-leaf clover! It's just delightful. I hope wherever you live, you're feeling rejuvenated and refreshed too, that everything has been washed clean.
I wanted to share a recent epiphany I had. I've been taking myself on walk-jogs around my neighborhood and happened to notice all the white mailboxes along the way. About every couple of hundred yards or so….
Do you know that feeling when you're jogging, and your body is screaming at you to quit, and you have to play mind games just to keep going?
Well, that's what these white mailboxes have become for me, a game. My lungs are burning, my hips are squeaking loudly in protest, and I'm tired. Then I see one of these little white mailboxes and I tell myself, 'you can make it to that next one.'
When I get there, I give it a little love tap, then shift to my two-minute walk and somehow, that little white mailbox has made all the difference just by 'being' there. And then I do it again, and again, until I've completed my 3-mile loop.
I've been making some serious progress on editing my novel, I've written my query and synopsis for like the quadrillionth time, and… part of me is still scared. Not scared about the literary agents saying 'no, thank you,' or that no one will like it, or even that it will never get published. I know deep in my bones, none of that is true.
What I've finally realized scares me is the business side of getting published, of having to sign contracts and work with money. Of being an adult and a professional ~ not my scared inner little girl ~ and do things I've never had to do before, like be famous and put myself out there in an even bigger way than I am by writing this blog….
AND the little white mailboxes have made all the difference.
They reminded me I only need to take one step at a time, and I can do that. I can focus on the right here and the right now and get the edit done. Then I can focus on getting the query letters actually out to real, live literary agents. And when the time comes to say, 'yes' to the best partner in my writing career, I'll focus on that then. And then the next piece after that and then the next….
And the true 'aha' to this? Fear moved to the back seat happily, all on its own.
Becoming a published author, if I take it piece by piece, won't be scary at all, it will be exciting and thrilling and adventurous. And I'll have people in my court cheering me on, LIKE THEY ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.
I can do this. I AM doing this.
It's just sometimes, I get caught up in the big picture and get overwhelmed by all that has to be done/has yet to get done, by all that I don't know, by all the time it's taking me/has taken me to get to here, let alone how on earth I'm ever going to get to over there….
My Beauties, I know, you know what I mean. This isn't just something that happens to me while jogging or even in regards to my writing, this feeling is something we all experience, in all kinds of different ways, for all kinds of different reasons.
Our dreams can be SOOO BIG, we don't know how to allow them to happen.
I've decided I'm going to take mine on, one little white mailbox at a time. I KNOW I can do that.
And I KNOW, My Beauties, that you can do that too.
So, if there is something that's got you overwhelmed, break it down into smaller pieces. Find a visual that'll help solidify this idea like the white mailboxes have done for me.
Another way of looking at this is to imagine yourself driving at night. The road is pitch black but for the gleam of your headlights. The light only reaches so far ahead, but you don't stop driving.
You TRUST that the LIGHT will guide your way, that you will make it safely around the next bend or up the hill or beyond that bridge because you turned your lights on.
So, turn your lights on, My Beauties, rev up your trust and faith in the Universe taking care of you. And jump with me! Or, better yet, go at it, one little white mailbox at a time.
IN Joy,
Love and Blessings ~

Inventory sync is one of the most powerful features in Sellbrite. Once activated, Sellbrite updates your listings every 15 minutes with the available quantities from your linked inventory.
You should only adjust quantities for your products found in the Inventory tab. You should never manually adjust the quantities for your listings on your Listings tab, or in the channel directly.
How it works
1. Inventory sync begins with your Inventory in Sellbrite. Your listings must be linked to inventory so that as the available quantities for your inventory changes, Sellbrite knows which listings should be updated with the new quantity.
2. As orders are placed for a particular listing on a channel, Sellbrite will import the orders and automatically adjust the available quantity for the SKUs ordered. The link between your listings and inventory also allows Sellbrite to know which inventory quantity should be adjusted.
3. Your "On Hand" product inventory may also be manually adjusted if you receive new stock or need to reduce it for any reason.
4. Sellbrite compares the "Available" quantities of your inventory (on the Inventory tab) with the quantities on your listings (on the Listings tab) that are linked to inventory.
5. If you have an inventory rule in place, Sellbrite first applies the rule to your "Available" quantities to calculate a new quantity, and compares the calculated value to the linked listing quantity.
6. If the available/calculated inventory is different than the listing quantities , Sellbrite updates the quantities of the linked listings in the Listings tab, and then pushes that change to your sales channel.
WARNING: Sellbrite only checks what the listing says in your Listings tab, not on your live sales channel.
If you make updates to your listing directly on a sales channel, Sellbrite will not know about the changes until you run a new import to refresh your listings.
Bottom line
Don't change quantities directly on your sales channel, or in your Listings tab. Once inventory sync is turned on, make your quantity changes to your products in the Inventory tab, and they will propagate outward.
Learn how to properly add and adjust your inventory quantities here.

Pokemon Go Mobile Phone App Species Discovered On Roosevelt Island - Catch One Or More Yourself
Roosevelt Island is often the site of television programs and films.
Always at the forefront of technology, Roosevelt Island has now entered the virtual world with the newly released Pokemon Go mobile phone app.
The Twitterverse reports:
What is this virtual world?I wasn't first exited about Pokemon Go. But now I sure as hell am! I caught these all on Roosevelt island! #Pokemon pic.twitter.com/yRLf8jOGMN— Melon Lord (@Melon_Lord88) July 7, 2016
According to Pokemon web site:
With Cornell Tech campus opening next summer, we may see Roosevelt Island pop up more in future mobile phone apps.
Travel between the real world and the virtual world of Pokémon with Pokémon GO for iPhone and Android devices. With Pokémon GO, you'll discover Pokémon in a whole new world—your own! Pokémon GO is built on Niantic's Real World Gaming Platform and will use real locations to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon. Pokémon GO allows you to find and catch more than a hundred species of Pokémon as you explore your surroundings.
The Pokémon video game series has used real-world locations such as the Hokkaido and Kanto regions of Japan, New York, and Paris as inspiration for the fantasy settings in which its games take place. In Pokémon GO, the real world will be the setting!
Get on your feet and step outside to find and catch wild Pokémon. Explore cities and towns around where you live and even around the globe to capture as many Pokémon as you can. As you move around, your smartphone will vibrate to let you know you're near a Pokémon. Once you've encountered a Pokémon, take aim on your smartphone's touch screen and throw a Poké Ball to catch it. Be careful when you try to catch it, or it might run away! Also look for PokéStops located at interesting places, such as public art installations, historical markers, and monuments, where you can collect more Poké Balls and other items....

text: EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Rex Ryan was fired up. Bill Belichick was ticked off.Everyone else was a bit confused.After a new rule gave New England a penalty and Nick Folk another chance, he hit a 42-yard field goal with 5:07 left in overtime to give the Jets a 30-27 victory over the Patriots on Sunday."I was like, 'You know what? It's about time we got a break,' " Ryan said. "That's really what I was thinking. It just worked out."Folk was wide left on a 56-yarder, but the miss was negated when New England's Chris Jones was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that had never been called in the NFL.Referee Jerome Boger said in a media pool report that Jones was called for pushing a teammate "into the opponents' formation." The rule was introduced in the offseason. The penalty cost the Patriots 15 yards.Belichick disagreed with the application of the rule. "You can't push in the second level," he said. "I didn't think we did that."Said Jones: "It was something that we talked about probably in camp and stuff, and it just skipped out of my mind. It was my mistake and nobody else's. I've just got to man up to it and fix it next time."New York, given new life, ran the ball three times to set up Folk's winner. It also kept Folk's consecutive-kicks streak intact, giving him 16 straight to start the season."Yeah, we're not going to talk about that right now," he said, smiling.The Patriots tied it at 27 with 16 seconds left in regulation on Stephen Gostkowski's 44-yard field goal.Jets QB Geno Smith threw a touchdown pass to Jeremy Kerley and ran for a score.New England's 12-game winning streak against AFC East opponents ended. "Everyone has to look at themselves and do a better job," quarterback Tom Brady said, "because what we're doing now isn't good enough."

So I had some Sausage Peppers & Onions left over after the Labor Day Pot Luck Lunch. So since I'm not fond of eating the same thing twice within 48 hours I decided to recycle the leftovers in a new way.
I decided to try my hand at some Sausage Peppers & Onion wraps. So of course you need some good pizza dough to make the wrap part. I used Caputo "00" Flour, and some other great ingredients seen below.
Dough Mixture
- 2 Cups Caputo '00' Flour
- 1/2 Tbls Granulated Garlic/Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Tbls Salt
- 1/4 Tbls Powdered Honey
- 1 Cup Hot Water
- 1 Tbls Yeast
- 2Tbls Picaul Olive Oil
Got Diesel Boy fired up for his first high temp pizza oven cook. Threw some Mesquite on there for some wood flavor.
Ok, so they aren't the prettiest things, but what ever dude back off, it's a friday, I've had a beer or two, I'm cooking with leftovers in a way I've never had before.
So here they are, about 3 spears of sausage, 3 slices fresh green peppers, a few onion slices, some Monterey Jack Cheese, and some Queso Fresco.
Diesel Boy was cranking away like a champ, I put the fire basket in the top position, I used a used pizza grill grate with 3 beer can chicken holders holding up the pizza stone. I wanted to get the wraps as close to the lid as I could.
Stone registered in at a nice 534 degrees.
Tossed down some corn meal and on went these ugly ass wraps, again what ever they will taste great.
Diesel Boy Got Nice and Hot!
Nice and Hot!
Here is the first batch of ugly Sausage Pepper, Onions and Cheese Wraps.
Still had such a great fire. Yea briquettes, i know i know, gotta use what you have.
Here are these ugly things cut open.

Duport, Pierre (Peter) Landrin
- Kate Van Winkle Keller
(b Paris, France, c1762; d Washington, DC, April 11, 1841). American dancing master, choreographer, and composer of dance music. He was born into a family named Landrin with close connections to the court of Louis XVI. He was a pupil of Maximilien Gardel (1741–87), and for six years he was dancing master for the Paris Opéra. He left Paris three days after the fall of the Bastille in 1789 and arrived in Philadelphia in mid-1790. He changed his name, placing advertisements for his dancing schools as Mr. De Duport. Chiefly a choreographer and teacher of social dancing, Duport blended amateur and professional dancing with theatrical standards of content and performance. He wrote music and created hornpipes and other solo dances for his students, as well as duos such as figured minuets, allemandes, and waltzes; group dances, including complex French contredanses, cotillions, and English country dances; and ballets for his classes to perform at recitals. A music copybook in Duport's hand traces his creative career from ...

2009 comebacks: Lance Armstrong
The story of Lance Armstrong is widely known – world-class cyclist contracts cancer, battles back from death's doorstep to recover, then wins the premier cycling event in the world, the arduous Tour de France, a record seven times. Armstrong then retires to promote his LiveStrong campaign, raising money for cancer awareness and encouraging cancer survivors to embrace life to its fullest.
The personal side of Armstrong's life has not been quite so story book, however. After a divorce from his wife, Kristen, Armstrong was famously involved with singer Cheryl Crow for a time, and has since been seen in the company of other celebrities.
To the surprise of many, late in 2008 Armstrong announced that he intended to return, at the unheard-of age of 37, to professional cycling, including the difficult Giro d'Italia. His avowed intention is to "raise awareness of the global cancer burden."
However, if this is indeed his purpose, he may rue his decision. The pro sport is today overwhelmed by the ongoing drug scandals, and cycling insiders have for years claimed that Armstrong's unprecedented success was at least in part due to performance-enhancing substances. His return to the spotlight will only serve to rekindle this controversy, and the only way he can possibly quell it is by winning one of the big tours while passing every blood and piss test known to man.
If he fails to compete successfully, a likelihood for any 37-year-old several years retired from the sport, it will only serve to strengthen suspicions. In this case, the sullying of his reputation might diminish the LiveStrong brand, not help it.
I don't doubt some in the cycling world hope that Armstrong will lend some credibility to a sport indelibly stained by doping, but I think this has more potential for farce. Armstrong has much to lose and little potential for gain by the comeback. Perhaps a few mountain passes will bring him back to his senses.

Newly formed Maldives United Opposition in a desperate attempt to hold its first rally is knocking the door of every relevant institution as the government continues to sit-on the required permission.
The MUO had announced its plans to hold its first rally on Thursday and had put in a request for permission over a month ago.
MUO top officials had gone down to the housing ministry hoping to get a reply to the request to hold the rally at the carnival area in the capital Male.
Officials had also met members of the elections commission in a bid to push for the permission.
"Housing ministry said it would give us a response later today [Wednesday]. If we don't get it, we will go down there again. We will inform the venue once it's confirmed," main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) deputy chairperson Ali Niyaz said.
A ban on street protests in the capital Male has been in force since a police crackdown on a three-day protest staged by the MDP last November. The police have since blocked the opposition's anti-corruption walks as well as marches by the media and civil society.
The newly formed opposition alliance had said it will seek to oust incumbent president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom and form an interim government to ensure free and fair elections scheduled in 2018.
The Maldives United Opposition brings together the Maldivian Democratic Party, the Adhaalath Party, two of president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom's former deputies and his former defence minister.

Housing for RED EPIC and RED SCARLET Cameras with Mysterium-X and Dragon Sensors
Unveiled at the 2015 NAB Show in Las Vegas, this exciting new housing is the most travel friendly system available today for Epic and Scarlet cameras.
Built around Nauticam's N120 DSLR Port Mount, and compatible with dozens of Canon EF Lenses, Epic LT is capable of being packed in a carry on backpack that can fit "under the seat in front of you." The housing weighs in at under 7kg / 15lbs. This results in a weight & form factor you can truly take anywhere.
On location, the usability of this system is unmatched. Set up and tear down in minutes, Battery and media changes while the camera is mounted in the housing, and lens swaps in seconds. The small size and light weight dramatically decrease resistance in water, especially when freediving.

About Us
Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/11/2012 (2900 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
No one available to preach the Sunday sermon? No problem.
Perhaps you could Skype in a former moderator of the United Church of Canada to speak to the assembled faithful.
"Just think how exciting it would be for (a church to have) someone experienced like David Giuliano to be Skyped in," says Gay Boese, who explores innovative uses of technology in worship for a group of rural Manitoba churches.
"It's a potential not only for churches who are struggling, but for all of us."
Having a virtual preacher may be a stretch for some congregations, but Boese and SPLOTB, the task group she works for, are all about looking at problems with fresh eyes.
Pronounced splot-bee, their name is the abbreviation for Selkirk Presbytery Thinking Outside the Box.
"We help congregations figure out what God is calling them to do," Boese says of her task group's mandate, which serves United Church congregations in the Interlake and eastern Manitoba.
"They (sometimes) cannot continue the way they are. They may have a way to continue within the community that would still be significant."
The task group was created nearly three years ago with the help of $90,000 from the former Rivercrest United Church in Middlechurch, just north of Winnipeg. The congregation decided to close and donated proceeds from the sale of their building to the SLOTB task group.
"Out of their ending came a new beginning," explains Laurie Beachell, chairman of the Selkirk Presbytery.
The presbytery has about 30 congregations in about two dozen pastoral charges, with several churches sharing a minister or only able to afford to pay a part-time salary.
"Many of these are viable in sort of a diminished capacity," explains Beachell, a longtime member of Rosser United Church.
"What can you do with a small congregation that's mostly older?"
That's the question Boese and the task group helps churches explore. Instead of closing their doors, the answer may be to use technology in some way to continue holding worship services on Sunday morning.
Whether state-of-the art or low-tech, incorporating technology might not be as difficult as some believe, says Scott Macauley, minister of Winnipeg's Sparling United Church and a consultant in ministry practices for his denomination.
"We've been afraid of technology in our church," he says, referring to the culture within the United Church of Canada.
"We've been scared of it. We haven't trusted those who are younger in our congregations to play significant leadership roles."
For the past month or so, Boese and others in the task group have led workshops in Stonewall, Selkirk and Portage la Prairie on using technology in the church. Their final workshop, titled Plugging into the Divine, runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today at McKenzie United Church in Portage.
And yes, former moderator David Giuliano will be speaking to the 100 or so participants through a Skype connection from his home in Marathon, Ont., where he returned to the ministry at St. John's United Church after completing his term as moderator in 2009.
Giuliano's congregation regularly uses video clips, posts sermons on YouTube and connects with other rural congregations through digital technology. Occasionally, a congregation without a minister has hooked up with the Marathon congregation in time for Giuliano's sermon.
"Our goal is always that the technology is invisible," he says of how his congregation incorporates videos or other technology in worship.
The best advice for churches, no matter what size or location, is to see technology as just one more tool in worship, says Macauley, who plans to facilitate an online study with interested congregants during the upcoming Christian season of Advent.
"Don't limit yourself with the technology. The liturgy has been here 2,000 years. Don't decide your worship service according to the technology you have," he says.
In the end, who delivers the Sunday morning service, and how that's done isn't really the issue, says Beachell. The world has changed significantly in the last few decades, and he says the United Church of Canada may have been slow in adapting to the new reality.
"We're in a period of fairly substantial transformation for the church, for society," says Beachell.
"I think the church should be the leader in the transformation, to be true to what we're called to be."

I am having diffuculties understanding the principle of lookahead in LR(1) - items. How do I compute the lookahead sets ?
Say for an example that I have the following grammar:
S -> AB A -> aAb | b B -> d
Then the first state will look like this:
S -> .AB , {look ahead}
A -> .aAb, {look ahead}
A -> .b, {look ahead}
I now what look aheads are, but I don't know how to compute them. I have googled for answers but there isn't any webpage that explains this in a simple manner.
Thanks in advance

{Shop: Similar Top, Skirt, Shoes, Purse}
My mother bought me this skirt. Mainly because it was a buy one, get one half-off deal and she had an odd number. BUT I'm also going to say that it's because she loves me and because I looked it longingly while she shopped for herself and then I threw myself on the ground until she agreed. Old tricks still work my friends.
I typically don't push items ever but this might be the best skirt in the world. It's long enough so I can bend over if necessary, it doesn't give me a muffin top, it has animal print — the list goes on. Best skirt ever.

Irena Zhang hopes the winter refurbishment of her Chinatown Food Plaza on Moonta St will lead to a face-lift for one of the city's most iconic cultural sectors.
"It could be the start of a new Chinatown," said the former president of Chinatown Adelaide, art gallery owner and current board member of the Adelaide Festival Centre Trust. "We will rename the hall as Chinatown Plaza and it will be a mix of hospitality, retail and tourism. We want a lot more retail shops to come in, gift shops and fashion."
Currently, there are a still a couple tenancies remaining so if you've been thinking of starting a cafe or bistro, this could be an exciting new possibility.
Right in the heart of Chinatown and adjacent to the famous and soon to be redeveloped Central Markets.
Message Chinatown Plaza for more information.

Exeter-Milligan senior Claire White closed the Veteran's Day Program.
Exeter remembered their Veterans with a program on Wednesday at the Exeter-Milligan school.
After a welcome by Becca Vossler, flags presented by Exeter Cub Scout Pack 218 and the Exeter-Milligan Band performing the "Star Spangled Banner" and "The Sentry Boy," Wilbeck spoke to the large crowd.
"Our biggest national debt is that which Americans owe to their Veterans," explained Tim Wilbeck at the Exeter Veteran's Day Program on Wednesday.
Wilbeck emphasized the debt that Americans owe for their freedom and not only the sacrifices that our veterans have made, but also those that their spouses and families have experienced.
"It is not in the nature of American warriors to complain. . .warriors finish the task," explained Wilbeck while encouraging the crowd to be proactive in helping veterans. He spoke of the organizations that are available to help our veterans but other ways that community members can support veterans.
"Tell a veteran thank you. There are other ways to say thank you, take pride in your community, honor and respect your neighbors, show support for veterans or hire a veteran," explained Wilbeck.
Noting the prevalence of homelessness among our veterans, Wilbeck encouraged us to do better, "Vet's don't ask for much, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the human and financial cost of war."
Wilbeck quoted George Washington in the treatment of veterans, "The willingness of young people to serve is directly proportional to how veterans will be treated."
Wilbeck went on to say that if we treat veterans half as well as they have served us, no amount of money can adequately repay them for what they have done, "They have given us freedom and security, we are the greatest nation on earth, we must appreciate them."
Under the direction of Mrs. Angie Murphy the Junior High Choir performed "My America" before the program was closed by Exeter-Milligan Senior Claire White.

The IDT2309B is a high-speed phase-lock loop (PLL) clock buffer, designed to address high-speed clock distribution applications. The zero delay is achieved by aligning the phase between the incoming clock and the output clock, operable within the range of 10 to 133MHz. The IDT2309B is a 16-pin version of the IDT2305B. The IDT2309B accepts one reference input, and drives two banks of four low skew clocks. The -1H version of this device operates at up to 133MHz frequency and has higher drive than the -1 device. All parts have on-chip PLLs which lock to an input clock on the REF pin. The PLL feedback is on-chip and is obtained from the CLKOUT pad. In the absence of an input clock, the IDT2309B enters power down, and the outputs are tri-stated. In this mode, the device will draw less than 25?A. The IDT2309B is characterized for both Industrial and Commercial operation.
- Phase-Lock Loop Clock Distribution
- 10MHz to 133MHz operating frequency
- Distributes one clock input to one bank of five and one bank of four outputs
- Separate output enable for each output bank
- Output Skew < 250ps
- Low jitter <175 ps cycle-to-cycle
- 50ps typical cycle-to-cycle jitter (15pF, 66MHz)
- IDT2309B-1 for Standard Drive
- IDT2309B-1H for High Drive
- No external RC network required
- Operates at 3.3V VDD
- Available in SOIC and TSSOP packages

Travelling with a youngster for the first time is like planning a mission to Mars. There is so much to consider that when you are childless you just take for granted. Getting to the airport, checking in, going through security all take so much longer and to ensure this is as smooth as possible you need to be prepared as well as ensure you have allowed extra 'extra' time!
I highly recommend starting with small journeys to 'test' the comfort level for you and baby as well as keep stress to a minimum.
Take away the stress from your next holiday and check out my top tips for travelling with toddlers:-
1. Get Packing! A few weeks before departure I start writing a list of all the things I use on a daily basis with bubba. I record the essentials, his favourite toys, clothes, towels, bedding, toiletries and start making piles to pack. By having a clear outline of what you need this reduces worrying if you have forgotten anything
2. Plan ahead. All parents know that leaving the house just for a day requires a small bag of everything so when travelling overseas you want to travel as light as possible. Large essential items such as car seats, prams, cots, high chairs etc can be borrowed from family and friends upon arrival and you can hire almost anything anywhere. If you are staying for a long period you may even ask your hosts to buy something second hand for the duration of your stay. Knowing that you have these items in place for your arrival is another stress buster.
3. Research food! Check out the local supermarkets online before you arrive so you know what foods are available which are similar to your little ones' favourites. If staying with people ask them to grab a few essentials so you know you have the first day of meals prepared. Nappies, wipes and toiletries are items to also pre-order!
4. Pack bubba's favourite and familiar items. Being out of the normal environment can be upsetting for your child so take toys, books and bedding they are familiar with.
5. Pack everything and pack nothing! When you visit family you often come away with lots of new toys and clothes so travel outbound below your luggage allowance. In your carryon luggage take at changes of clothes and I allowed one nappy for every two hours of travel. Pack a few interactive toys and perhaps buy them something new that will help keep them entertained for that little bit longer.
6. Allow more time. Everything just takes longer and the last thing you want to do is feel stressed about rushing. Going through security will take longer as milk and food will be scanned so pack these separately and ensure they are easy to access. Take advantage of boarding first so you can get settled in your own time.
7. Tire them out! Travel close to their normal sleep times but do take into account they will get overtired with the new stimulation so be patient. When in transit let them wonder around and stretch their legs. Some airports even have family areas where they can play and you can relax.
8. The biggest thing you can do is relax, approach the journey with a positive attitude and enjoy the adventure with bubba.

Our Commitment
An annual luncheon with you and your guests
Complimentary VIP Table at all fundraisers

It was such a great experience to run for Governor and I was happy that we got close to 35% of the vote on my first run and raised over $500,000. I've really built out my team and my supporters across the state and the night of the election really felt like Day 1.
After evaluating and debriefing with my family and my team, I have decided to run for Governor in 2022..and start now! The most important time to prepare is now. So, we created a donor program for my 2022 Governor's campaign that can fit the budget of all my supporters.
Our fundraising efforts will directly affect our success in 2022 and we want to run a WINNING campaign to help create a Hawaii where more local families can live here for generations to come!

I have a pdf file (Telugu text) I converted that pdf file with "pdf to word software, but when i open the converted word document the telugu text in the pdf file not appearing in the word file. how to see telugu text in converted word file?
Apple's built-in Preview application is not only a PDF viewer like Adobe Reader, but also has some editing features for people to edit PDF files on Mac OS X 10.5 or later (Snow Leopard, Lion). Open a PDF file in Preview, click "Tools" in the top menu, choose "Mark Up" then you can see "Highlight Text", "Underline Text" and "Strike Through Text" options.
There are multiple PDF software out there that claims that the can edit or convert PDF but few of them works. I have used classic PDF editor and completely satisfied with its performance. So I highly recommend classic PDF editing software.

Let's take it back to New York
Too much CC Sabathia. That was the story again. The big man showed why he's one of the highest-paid and best athletes in our game. He pitched his butt off for the second time against us, and it's obvious what we have to do now.
We have to win Game 5, after we take tomorrow off, and take it back to New York. That's our whole focus now: Take it back to New York.
The Yankees are a good team, and they're up 3-1. It seems impossible, I know, but it's not. We've won three in a row before. I've got faith in my guys. We're going to come out in this next one and battle like we always do.
This one tonight just got away from us. CC was dealing, right from the start. He changed his pattern on us. His fastball's still 94, 95 on the gun, but it was his changeup that was keeping us off balance. He had it sinking in and out of the strike zone, fading away from righties, out of the strike zone.
Sometimes you have to tip your hat, and that was the case tonight. He was coming after us with the first pitch in the strike zone. Now what are you going to do? Battle.
Alex Rodriguez is having a great series. He's shorter with his swing, a lot more patient. He definitely wants it. You can tell. That guy's a bad man, like Muhammad Ali used to say. I wish he was on my team.
We've got our big man, John Lackey, going in Game 5. John's a bulldog. I'm excited to have John on the mound. He always battles, always keeps us in the game and gives us a chance.
We joke about the Rally Monkey all the time, but it's on us. We've got to have faith in ourselves and each other and know we can get it done.
The media is asking me what I'll say to the guys, but I'd never tell. I'm old school. I talk to my guys every chance I get. I'll encourage them, and they'll encourage me, too. I need it, too. That's what a team is all about.
We've come a long way, and we don't want to stop now. Our mission now is to take it back to New York. Take it back to New York and see what we can do.

The real Angels showed up today
This is what I've been preaching to everybody, what you saw today at Angel Stadium. What happened in the regular season doesn't matter now. It's guys people don't focus on who come through and decide playoff games.
That's what we saw today with Jeff Mathis banging those two doubles, driving in the winning run, and throwing out Brett Gardner stealing second before Jorge Posada's home run in the eighth inning. That was a huge play that shouldn't be overlooked — the pitchout and throw to get Gardner.
And what a day it was for my locker mate, Howard Kendrick. He came through like a champion. He had a rough postseason last year, but this year, it's different. He's playing with fire, like he's mad. And I like that.
This was more like it, more like us. We played the game hard, and we played it right. What happened in New York, that's not our baseball. Today, we still made some mistakes, but it was more like us.
We kept battling and battling, and we came back and won a huge ballgame. Now we've got to carry that momentum into Game 4 and try to get CC Sabathia, one of the best.
This game today had to be a huge lift for a lot of guys. I was so happy for Vlad Guerrero. He said he was going to do something special, and he did it with that two-run homer in the sixth inning. That was Vladdy being Vladdy, crushing a fastball.
He said, "OK, I've got something for you." It's all about confidence, like with Howie. He's got it now. In the second half, after he came back from Salt Lake, he was as hot as anybody. The man is a natural hitter. He's got the ability to do some great things in this game.
I'm not in the Yankees' clubhouse, so I have no idea what they're thinking or feeling. We don't care about what they do. We only care about what we do.
We definitely feel we can ride this wave and take another one tomorrow behind Scott Kazmir. The guy pitched great for us after coming over from the Rays.
Mathis, he has a lot of heart. He's an old football player — you know, like me. When you're a Division I recruit by a school like Florida State, you know you're an athlete — and that's Mathis. He's got that bulldog in him, and he wants to win.
The playoffs is a totally different adrenaline and energy. Guys people aren't expecting to see come through always shine. Guys like Mathis and Kendrick, they're dangerous — and they showed it. Kendrick's home run in the fifth inning got us going, changed the mood, like we had a chance. And then Vlad unloaded his shot.
As for my at-bat against Mariano Rivera in the 10th inning after Mathis doubled … not much I can say about that. He got us. He did what he always does, throwing me nothing but cutters. He threw me one that was yanked, and I tried to stay on it and make something happen. I hit it to Mark Teixeira for a force, and he got out of the inning. He's Mariano Rivera. That's what he does.
Mariano, that guy's just too nasty. It's not fair. What we need to do is get leads and keep them. That way we won't have to deal with him.
When we left New York, I said I felt something was about to change. That's what happened today. The Angels showed up and played the game with passion and purpose. We've got a lot of heart on this team, and we showed it today.
Looking for some love from our fans
We played a good game; a great game, really, in many ways — an awesome game. It's deflating, sure, but we battled and battled and battled, and it just didn't happen for us. They took advantage of a mistake, and we didn't take advantage of enough scoring chances.
Now we have to go home to L.A. and play a little better. It's not over by a long shot. We're not playing up to our capabilities. We need to do a little better, come through a little more.
We had the lead when Chone Figgins got that big hit in the 11th, but Alex Rodriguez is a great hitter, and he saved them when he went deep. That's what he does. He's definitely one of the best hitters in baseball, and you know you have to pitch him tough.
Man, these games have been hard on the nerves. If I let my hair grow out, I'd have gray everywhere.
It's loud and crazy here, people screaming for their team. And the Yankees respond to that. They got a lot of energy from their crowd in these two games, and now it's our turn to go home and get that energy from our fans.
We need to get busy and take it one pitch at a time, one inning at a time. There's a lot of baseball left to play, and we're going to show we're better than we've played in these first two games.
I've got a feeling we're going to go home and it's going to be a whole different scene in our place, with our fans, the Rally Monkey, all that Southern California energy working for us.
We're all a little drained and frustrated now, but we'll be ready on Monday. We'll just check ourselves going home and take care of business. Nobody's going to use the cold weather or the conditions for an excuse. We battled, they battled, and they took two games.
That's done. Time to move on and make good things happen in our house. Gotta get going now. We're out of here. See you all in Angel Stadium, and get ready to rock.
Too much CC, simple as that
We had a bad night. Some crazy things happened, and CC Sabathia was on his game, and we got our butts beat. That's all there is to it.
I don't want to hear about the cold weather. That had nothing to do with it. It wasn't that cold. When you get that adrenaline flowing, the cold weather is not a factor. In April, it's a different kind of cold. This is the playoffs. I don't believe in cold weather in the playoffs. This was fun.
We made some plays that were out of character. We play the game right. That's not us, but it happens in this game.
We had a miscommunication on the popup that fell at the feet of two great defensive players, Erick Aybar and Chone Figgins. I had a ball hit something and jump me when I was charging Derek Jeter's single in the sixth inning. Things happen, you go home, think about what you need to do, and come back with a good attitude.
What we need to do now is get Game 2 and go home 1-1. That's what our mind-set is now. There's nothing we can do about this one. It's over. I've always said you've got to have amnesia in this game. I've been saying that my whole career. Let it go, move on, make adjustments and get after it next game.
CC was good, man. That's why he makes all that money. He's one of the best in the game, and he was dealing tonight. He was ahead of everybody. He had his offspeed working, his fastball working, everything.
We got four hits in eight innings, so that's pretty much the story there. He was coming after us and throwing strikes.
I tried to put a bunt down in the sixth to get something started, and CC showed his athletic ability, his basketball skills, to make the play he did. As for whether I was safe or out, it doesn't matter what I saw. The umpire called me out, so I'm out. I can sit here and cry all I want, and I'm still out.
The Yankees played good, aggressive baseball. I've been saying that all season. They go first to third, make things happen. They're not just all about power. They play the game hard, and they play it right. They're a good team, but so are we.
This is a seven-game series. This is just one game. I think we're going to come back. Get Game 2, and everything changes.
Our manager, Mike Scioscia, is so positive. He knows it was out of character, the way we played tonight. He talked to guys, told us we'll come back. That's what I like about him. I love him, actually.
Even wet, just happy to be here
We're just happy to be here in the Big Apple, rain or shine. It's been coming down all day, and a little chill in the air. Hopefully, we'll get enough decent weather to play some baseball and get back home in good shape.
Facing the Yankees, the favorites, is kind of like facing the Red Sox. People said we weren't supposed to win that series, but we had other ideas.
We were happy to play the Red Sox. We never said one word that we didn't want to play the Red Sox. That all came from the media. We wanted to play anybody. We're just happy to still be playing with a shot at the ring.
When I was younger and with the Twins, it was awesome going out and playing center field at Yankee Stadium in the postseason. They beat us in 2003 and 2004, but we were all minimum wage guys.
This team is a little different. We've got an owner, Arte Moreno, who wants to win as much as we do. When we went out and got Mark Teixeira last year at the Trade Deadline, I screamed, I was so happy.
Teixeira is the enemy, of course, but he's a good dude. I really liked him when we were teammates, and I think he helped guys with his approach. Bobby Abreu has been doing that for us this year, helping not just the young guys but everybody. He has great at-bats. You don't want to go up and swing at the first pitch after he's had a seven-pitch at-bat. It trickles down, the domino effect.
We have a lot of leaders on this team, veterans who have been around, guys like Chone Figgins, Vladdy "Mula" Guerrero, John Lackey, Brian Fuentes. And Bobby is one of them. He's a great leader.
People think he's quiet, but Bobby's not as mellow as you think. He is funny. He has everybody cracking up in the clubhouse. He's so much fun off the field, but when he steps between those lines, he's focused, man.
As for the Yankees, what can you say that hasn't already been said? They always have one of the best lineups. It's nothing different than in the past. You look at my old buddy CC Sabathia, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Tex . . . so many great players. Those guys are impressive over there. I like them as a team. They play the game right, the way we do.
As for the Angels beating the Yankees in the playoffs twice before, in 2002 and 2005, I wasn't here, so I don't have a lot to offer about that. We played them even this year, five wins apiece. There was a lot of scoring, a lot of yelling, and some quiet times. Yankee Stadium, old or new, it's always exciting to play here.
As a kid, you grow up watching games at Yankee Stadium, and how here you are, in the postseason. The regular season doesn't matter now. It's all about what you do now.
I'm sure I'll be as excited as ever running out to center field in Game 1, all that adrenaline pumping. It's a dream come true, playing on this field, in the ALCS, with a chance to beat the Yankees. I think we can do. Let's hope the weather cooperates and we can go out and see what happens.
How sweet it is!
I've never been a part of a game that felt any better than this. The way we came back, the way we just refused to go down, it was just amazing to be in the middle of something like that.
I can't tell you how good I feel for Vladimir Guerrero. This has been a very rough season for him, with all the injuries he's had to overcome. To see him deliver like he did, driving that game-winning hit against Jonathan Papelbon, was unbelievable.
This guy Vladdy is a Hall of Famer in my book. He's an all-time great hitter, and a great teammate. I think that's one of the reasons why everyone was so thrilled to see him get that big, big hit. Because he's been so great for so long, and people were starting to doubt him. Who's doubting Vladdy now? Who's saying he can't hit a good fastball?
There were so many big moments. Erick Aybar got it started with his two-out hit, then Chone Figgins worked a huge walk against Papelbon. Bobby Abreu comes up, and he's a guy you want hitting in that situation, cool as can be. He drives one off the monster, and now we're only one run down.
I was ready to hit, looking forward to it, but they walked me intentionally. Was I surprised? I can't really say. Their manager, Terry Francona, knows what he's doing. He's a smart guy.
So is my man, Mike Scioscia – manager of the year! No doubt.
I'm happy they did walk me now, because of the way it turned out, but I really wanted to hit in that situation. It's what you live for as an athlete, and that's why we're all so happy for Vlad.
The big man came through in a big way. Hits don't get any bigger than that one. He's not a guy who shows much emotion, but he was smiling over there at first base like you rarely see him. I was pointing over to him from second base, and I could just feel his joy. It was one of those magical moments.
This team has so much character, I can't say enough about the heart of these guys. We have been playing for Nick Adenhart all season, and I know he's proud of us now. Nick loved the game, everything about it, and this was as good as it gets, beating the Red Sox in Boston. I've got a lot of respect for that team over there, how good those guys are. That's what makes this so gratifying.
No more talk about curses!
We beat the Red Sox in their house!
As for Nick, I like what our hitting coach, Mickey Hatcher, said. If Nick's up there writing the script, it's a masterpiece.
We're going to celebrate this, but we know we've still got work to do. We don't want this to end.
The Twins, my old team, are still alive. I'm not going to lie. I'm pulling for those guys against the Yankees. Hey, I raised some of those guys on the Twins team. How could I not be pulling for them?
Whoever we play, we're going to be ready. We've got everything we need on this team, young guys with energy, smart veterans, pitching, hitting, defense, speed. And athletes. Man, we've got some athletes. We just have to go out and keep doing what we do.
We got the first three wins. Now we need four more to get to where we want to be, the Fall Classic.
Enjoy the ride, everybody. I guarantee you we are. I just need to find some goggles that keep the champagne out of my eyes.
Feeling good and staying hungry
We're going to Boston feeling good about being up 2-0, but we're staying hungry. We won't be satisfied until this is over. We're going to enjoy these two wins, but we know how dangerous the Red Sox are, and we've got a job to finish now.
So many guys came through in this second game, but you have to start with Jered Weaver. Man, he was dealing. I've got a great view out in center field, and he was on his game, just like John Lackey in Game 1. Weaver's been doing it all season, and he really brought it out on the big stage. And that was great to see, after the way he's performed all year long for us.
We're having fun, playing our game. It's something we're talking about. Let's have fun and let our God-given ability take place.
Josh Beckett is a big-game pitcher, one of the best. It's not easy to beat a guy like Beckett. His ball was moving, like usual, but we had some great at-bats and scored some runs.
How about Vladimir Guerrero, going the other way for a big hit and then drawing that walk to get our seventh inning started. We were having a lot of fun with Vladdy over that. The big man really came through. He's a Hall of Famer.
Then Howard Kendrick comes in to run for Vladdy and steals a big bag. Beckett's quick over to first, so it's not easy to run on him. Howie got a nice jump and beat it cleanly. Then Maicer Izturis, who hadn't even played for about a week, walks up and does what he does – he slammed that huge base-hit to center field for the lead.
Maicer is one of those quiet guys people don't pay much attention to, but he can play the game. He does it all, and he's a guy you want up there in a big situation, because he's so cool.
Big Mike Napoli goes old school and takes a pitch in the back, and that keeps it going. And then Erick Aybar — what a season he's had — he goes up and crushes that ball to center field, and he's flying to third base. That's the way we play the game, hard, aggressively. Aybar's not scared. He loves to compete.
We know all about the Red Sox. Those guys are not going to let up. They've been down before and come back. We can enjoy this now, but starting Sunday, forget that and go out and play the game.
The next one is at noon on Sunday, East Coast time, and we've got a day to get adjusted and be ready. I might have a cup of coffee before that one. Hopefully, we'll all get some good sleep and be ready to go.
A night to dream about
I couldn't sleep the night before the series started. You just want the game to be here. Then it's finally here, and you go out and play, get a big win, and it's just an incredible feeling.
What you do after a game like this is you go home, dream about it, get up tomorrow, and come back and do it again.
Sure, it's a big win, and my home run felt great. But it's just one game, and we know how good these Red Sox are. Nobody has to tell us.
The first thing I want to mention is the crowd. Man, it was loud. I've never heard Angel Stadium get that loud. That was exciting.
It was a great duel starting out between two of the best, John Lackey and Jon Lester. Lackey was Lackey. He came through big with his A game when we needed it. And Lester, man, he's tough — one of the best lefties in the game. He throws hard, and he brings that slider down at your feet.
In my second at-bat, when I walked, he actually hit me on the back foot with a pitch. I looked back at the umpire, Joe West, but he didn't see it. So I stayed up there. Right now, my big toenail is sore.
When I came up in the fifth, we had runners on first and third. It was a good hitting situation. Erick Aybar doubled, and Chone Figgins bunted him to third. Then Bobby Abreu walked. Four walks in one game – can you believe that? That man is too much.
I took a pitch from Lester and then he threw a two-seam fastball. Bobby was running, and I saw him going. I hit a mistake, I guess. I usually pop it up. Truth is, I didn't know where the ball was. I closed my eyes and swung.
Running the bases, the crowd going crazy, the adrenaline was pumping so hard, it was unbelievable. I wish everyone could know what that feels like. It's hard to describe. Just an unbelievable experience. I was running the bases and talking to myself, kind of like when I played football in high school. `Do what you do,' that kind of thing.
When I got in the dugout, I was so excited I spiked my helmet. It was just one of those moments, a tremendous release.
This is special. I rank it way up there. But it's just the start.
We played the way I know we can play in this first game. Now we have to keep it going. I try to lead by example. I don't know if I'm going to hit a home run – you can't just tell yourself to do it. You just react and play the game, have faith and confidence that you're going to get it done.
What I like about our team is that the guys brought the dog with them. You can't be scared, or you're never going to make it happen.
We have to keep believing in ourselves and keep playing the game with passion and playing smart. If we do that, I like our chances.
This is what we play for — a shot at the ring
This is my sixth postseason, and it's a whole new season. It doesn't matter what you do in the regular season. It's all about who wants it more. You see guys who hit 30, 40 homers, drive in 100 runs, and they don't do a thing in postseason. You've got pitchers who dominate in the regular season and don't win in the postseason. It's the same game, but different.
I think guys here learned from last year, losing in four games to Boston. I'm not saying any names, but I can hear it in their voices, see it in their eyes. It's totally different. The younger guys have that bulldog in them now. It's what I was waiting to see, and I'm seeing it now.
I love this time of year. It takes me back to high school football in Pine Bluff, Ark., when I just wanted to go out and hit guys. I still want to hit — just a different kind of hitting.
Even though it's the same game, the adrenaline and hype of it take you up to another level. You've got to block it out, go out and have fun. I don't think anything needs to be said. We finished off on a good note, winning seven of the last eight, and we're carrying that momentum into the postseason.
One thing about the playoffs – you don't need any coffee. You don't want to get too boosted up. I hurt my knee jumping up and down on a play last year against the Red Sox where I thought I was safe – and I wasn't. The adrenaline was going crazy on me. I'm drinking straight water. Pure adrenaline is going to take over for you.
My whole focus is on the Red Sox, of course, but I've got to say, that Twins-Tigers playoff game was awesome. I watched it at home, and I caught myself every once in a while cheering for the guys I used to play with in Minnesota. They battled through it and got it done, and to do it without Justin Morneau, one of the best pure hitters in the game, and Joe Crede, that was impressive. But I know those guys, how much heart they have, how they battle.
Now they go on to New York. In 2003 and 2004, the Yankees put it on us. Hopefully, they can get it done. I texted most of the guys after it was over and told them how happy I was for them. It was a roller-coaster ride, and I was really excited for Alexi Casilla, getting the big hit, and of course for Joe Mauer and the rest of the guys.
Now they just go on straight adrenaline. The Twins probably have momentum, coming off a playoff game, a great win, but that's a good team they're playing.
The Twins are probably the closest team to us in their style. They've got a batting champion in Mauer, and they always play hard. I think we might have a couple more athletes. Put us on a football field, and we'd win. We have some old quarterbacks on this team – John Lackey, Jeff Mathis, Scott Kazmir, myself. Mathis would be our QB. He was a division I recruit, by Florida State.
I've got a lot of confidence in Lackey in Game 1. John's a bulldog who wants the ball every fifth day. He's not afraid to throw strikes. The passion he has on the mound, when he comes into the dugout, either he's upset or excited. I always like our chances when he's out there.
As for our offense, you can't say enough about what Bobby Abreu has brought to this team. Bobby's whole thing is swing at strikes – whether it's the first pitch or the last pitch you see. It's simple, but it's hard, especially for young guys and a hitter like Vladimir Guerrero, who's always been so aggressive. Vladdy's Vladdy. He's been playing and doing it his way for a long time. And he's a Hall of Famer.
Bobby definitely had a positive impact on me. I've been playing for years, but I'm getting better. Besides his approach on the field, another thing Bobby brings is the way he prepares himself. He gets here early, does his running, lifts his weights. Guys see that, and they want to be like Bobby. They know he's always on the field.
The way Bobby carries himself, that's another thing he brings to the clubhouse. He's always relaxed, always singing. He's a bad singer, but that's OK. He's suave. One of a kind.
I really like the way we set up with Chone Figgins and Bobby up top, then the rest of us. Those two guys know how to get on base and run the bases. Guys like Vlad, Juan Rivera, Kendry Morales, we've got some bangers in the middle. We have a lot of weapons.
I think we're ready. Now it's time to go out and get it done.

Harrisburg – Today Judge Jones announced his decision that the Pennsylvania ban on same sex marriage is unconstitutional. Pending appeal from the state, Jones' decision will allow all loving couples in Pennsylvania the freedom to marry.
Ted Martin, Executive Director for Equality PA commented on Judge Jones decision:
"It's always a good day in PA when love wins. Equality PA members have been waiting for this day for a long time, and we thank Judge Jones for being fair minded in his decision. Marriage really matters to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender couples in deeply important ways. We hope that Gov. Corbett decides not to appeal this important decision and we look forward to celebrating many weddings in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead."
Equality PA started a petition today to ask Governor Corbett not to appeal the judge's decision. Click here to view the petition.
Equality PA supporters celebrated and reflected on what this decision means to them.
"This has been a long time coming," said Stephanie Haynes, organizer for Philly Family Pride. "I wish that my marriage to my partner of 17 years was recognized when we had our ceremony almost two decades ago, but we will be very happy to tell our two sons that our marriage will be recognized now."
"We went to New Jersey to be legally married back in March, and it wasn't until we sought out that marriage license did we realize how important this was to us," said Thomas Waters of Pittsburgh. "We have been together for 17 years and we own a home together and if anything happened to either one of us, it means the world to know that we would be able to protect our family. You can't put a price tag on that. We hope we can get a Pennsylvania license in time for our ceremony this weekend."
"My husband and I have been together over 30 years, and when we first got together, marriage didn't seem like a possibility. When we finally decided to get married, after such a long time, we were surprised how meaningful it felt and how important it was to share this commitment with our family," said Chris Gatesman of Mechanicsburg. "The protections that come with marriage are not only important to us, but equally so for our daughter and extended family. This state recognition is invaluable."
"My wife, Anne, and I have been together for over 20 years and just got married in Maryland this past November. We are happy today because this decision is about society recognizing our relationship and the commitment we have made, just like it does for every other married couple, " said Ami Levin of New Cumberland.
"We both felt married for a long time through the support of our families and in our community, but having the legal protections of marriage is very important in so many ways. The only right decision that Pennsylvania can make is to get on board the equality train. I hope that soon we can go to any state in the union and be recognized and welcomed as a married couple," added Ami's wife, Anne Aufiero.
"My wife and I have been together for 13 years through multiple deployments in her military career before she retired. And during that time, I had to pretend not to exist under Don't Ask Don't Tell. Since that policy ended, the day that I could go on base and get my spouse ID card was such an important and significant day in our lives," said Janet Rich of Mechanicsburg. "But because Pennsylvania didn't recognize our marriage, I could not be listed on my own mortgage that we got through the VA. Now, to have our marriage recognized in our home state is a wonderful reason to celebrate. It gives us security and so much more than words can express. "
Ted Martin closed his remarks saying, "We celebrate this great decision today to allow all couples the freedom to marry, and we will encourage the Governor not to appeal. However, our work continues in PA to pass SB/HB 300, the state's non-discrimination bill, because even if LGBT people can be married tomorrow, they can also be fired from their jobs, turned away from a business, or evicted from their homes just for being gay or transgender."
