GOG adds several new games to their GOG Connect program
GOG adds several new games to their GOG Connect program

GOG adds several new games to their GOG Connect program
This will not only allow PC gamers to gain access to DRM-free versions of games but also back up some of your games library to GOG, meaning that in the unlikely event that Steam goes bankrupt or closes down that you will still have access to your games via GOG.
Only select games are importable via GOG connect, but right now a total of 20 games can be redeemed on GOG if you already own them on Steam. More games are coming to GOG connect, at a later date, with the current selection of games being part of the program for a limited timeframe.
This is a great offer for those who would like to back up some of their games library outside of Steam or wish to play their games DRM free, as it is completely free and fairly easy to do. All GOG users will need to do is log into your account on the GOG website and then log into your steam account on the GOG Connect webpage, it is that simple.
You can join the discussion on GOG connect on the OC3D Forums.

After the crap I had with Origin the other night if it don't run in Steam I don't want it. Took me two hours to recover my account from a chuffing Russian, who had even changed the name on the account to his. Thankfully he could not change the security question, or I'd have been out of £400 worth of games.
Love the idea of GOG connect, if only it actually worked. I have witcher and Witcher 2 on steam, and Witcher 3 on GOG, but won't recognise that I have the first 2 on steam.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon!

One of the decade's bigger TV drama hits was the Waltons, a depression-era and World War II family that lived in rural Virginia on Walton's Mountain. A top-20 show in its first six seasons, The Waltons got the usual 1970s pop culture treatment with a lunchbox, board game, record album, and was the subject of a Norman Rockwell painting. A bubblegum card set was piloted and proofs of the 55-card set were released but it never got past that stage. Those cards today cost in the hundreds of dollars per card and are highly sought after. The attractive pink-bordered cards are reminiscent of the designs of the time and features the Walton's large cast.
RetroCards has created their own set based on the original design, changing the hot pink borders to light blue. This 18-card set features characters and episodes from the first two seasons as well as a wrapper card of the original test set. Poor collectors will now be able to afford to get the John-Boy rookie card in this attractive new set. Familiar faces include the Walton family, Baldwin Sisters, Ike Godsey, a young John Ritter as the Reverand, a wrapper card (from the original test set) and more! Coming soon!

By Peter Gizzi
Wisdom is a kindly spirit but does it love me? And righteousness? There's nothing in it.
- To poetry I leave my senses, my deregulation, custodial duties, and to be a janitor is a great consolation.
- It gave me my mother back through all her years.
- To love these children, so full of neurons and consciousness. What joy to clean up and put a shine on their mess.
- To my mother I leave my veil, my wing, the window and time. I, artifact. In this age the hand is a voice.
- I leave the voice, the wonder, the mirror, and my lens, bent and beholden to the worm, leaf-work in wrought iron, eerie illuminations and deep-sea vision.
- I've seen the Eurostar, the drunken boat, and Davy Jones' Locker. I've seen Spanish galleons and the H.S. Mauberley covered in brine.
- There is this line from cloud dander to the solo bulb of mourning, a string through common prayer.
- I like it when the gray-green shadows suddenly dayglo over the rushes. The wind in my head.
- To write is an equal and opposite reaction my comrade, communard, my friendo.
- What is it finally thinking what in winter's dusty alcove, the body tocks. The day was cloudy. The light muddy, dreary when they took it down.
- To Times Roman I give my stammer, my sullenness, my new world violence, form and all that, forms, and all that paper, gusts. Little buttress.
- I send love and weapons to everyone possessed with night visions.
- When those green lights flash and blink, is that it? When the "it" continues strangely for a bit, then falls into a line, is it over?
- I quantified daily the wonder in the grain.
- I found I was over and singular yet many, the many and the singular, the many and the evolutionary, the many in the grain. Many more.
- Who in hell am I writing for?
- This vision is silly, teenage, and mine, a spot on the negative, a hole in composition. I quantify, I loaf, I wonder, I find, I rev.
- Here the days' mud, night is a satellite, and anger, my cleft, my birthmark and star.
- Anger might be a better way to say "I love you," truer than "how are you in space"? Are you cold, can I get you a blanket?
- To the polestar I leave my alien regalia, my off-world headdress. I leave acoustic forms in time, blooming, sudsy, inconsolable.
- If you are unsatisfied, then welcome.
- Here there are people working every corner of every inch of grass. The meticulously arranged outside reminds me of ocean and feels old.
- In space the letterforms "I love" oscillate in waves.
- I lose myself in waves speaking the half of me that forgot to say "goodbye" when I meant to say "how come."
- Memory continues to bloom. More songs about death and dying, songs of inexperience.
- More songs about being and loss, being in loss, more songs about seeing and feeling.
- If you are critical, all the better to see and to miss it, to misunderstand, to fail at empathy and love, to not understand love and to love, to be diseverything and to love, whatever.
- To mercy I leave whatever.

Green Tip: Cleaning Supplies as Housewarming Gifts
We've blogged Mrs. Meyers products more than once, but the mention of the Mrs. never goes undeserved.
Our friend recently moved, and the old question of what to get for a housewarming gift came up. We decided that only she knew exactly what kind of stuff belonged in her new apartment. Her style is unique, taste impeccable, and after moving, she really didn't want to be acquiring a whole lot more.
But one of the most difficult aspects of moving into a new place is cleaning it up, especially if the folks before you did a bad job, had pets, or there was a lot of lag time (ie. enough time for dust bunnies to grow) in between residents. Even if it seemed clean enough upon arrival, there really is a good feeling that comes with scrubbing down your new place so that it feels ready for you to live in it.
Our gift idea: an assortment of Mrs. Meyers cleaning supplies (we chose lavender). Not only are the products all natural, but they smell great and look great, too. And at above-average prices for cleaning supplies in general, it's a thoughtful gift for someone that can't always go the greener (which sometimes means pricier) route.

Breakthrough on medical pot bill? (TNT)
Gov. Chris Gregoire has signed off on an idea to revive a medical marijuana bill she largely vetoed last week.
The News Tribune reports that Gregoire said Thursday she supports the new idea of "non-profit patient cooperatives." Gregoire has rejected the idea of state-licensed, for-profit dispensaries. Instead, local governments would have the ability to license and zone the pot shops.
On Friday Gov. Chris Gregoire vetoed the most critical parts of a medical cannabis bill, Senate Bill 5073, reiterating her concerns that state workers could be prosecuted under federal law the way the measure was written. The legislation was passed to set clearer regulations on medical marijuana use and to establish a licensing system and patient registry to protect qualifying patients, doctors and providers from criminal liability.
Backers of the medical pot bill hope to come up with a compromise they can move through the Legislature during this special session, which is set to end later But on Thursday Gregoire said she wanted legislative leaders from all four caucuses to sign off on the new medical cannabis idea – something House Minority Leader Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis, is balking at.
In 1998, Washington voters approved an initiative that legalized marijuana for medical use, which Gregoire said she supported. Washington is one of 15 states where pot use for medical purposes is legal.

By the time I completed writing my last post, I had some incidents for this post. For a while, I was confused with which incident to start with(believe me, there are many...after all, we were out-standing students of our class... ;) ...so situation like earlier kept coming to us again and again).
I was having evening snacks at office(courtesy: my current employers...Right...they are generous enough to provide us evening snacks in recession time ;) ). While sipping Guava nectar(xyz juice company's product, not naming the juice company and advertise their product without getting paid... :D ), I got the idea to start with this incident.
As we both were quiet naughty and always planned some mischief or the other. Troubles kept hounding us. Sometimes we were punished moderately, sometimes severely and sometimes we had lucky escapes. This incident was one where we had a narrow escape.
This happened when we were in 5th(no 6th...nah 5th...somewhere between the 2). Our school had a senior wing and a junior wing. The senior wing was in the heart of a residential area. For some reasons, residents opposed shuttling of school buses through their area. While the junior wing was on outskirts of same residential area. So after school, student had to catch the school bus from junior wing's ground. And Baggasur's home happened to be near junior wing as well. So generally, we both walked back to junior wing together.
After school, we usually bought something to eat from the vendors outside the school(we used to carry Re.1 or sometimes 2 at that time and that was enough to buy something for both of us and then fight over eachother's share). But that day, we both had no money to buy anything.
We both were walking towards the junior wing. Walking, chatting and mocking others. All at the same time. On our way, we came across the house with the Guava tree. And we decided to pluck some fruits from the tree. I was good at climbing walls. So I climbed the wall while he used his height to help me climb the wall. Now, I could have plucked as many as I wanted but all of them were small in size. I managed to pluck two guavas of biggest size which were within my reach while standing on the wall.
I hopped down with the two prized possession. And I fought for the bigger one, as I did all the hard work. He acquiesced after some arguing. When we took a bite in those guavas. They weren't ripe and were very hard(we could have broken our teeth if we had took a harder bite). I was disheartened about all my effort going in vain.
But we weren't someone who were going to let their effort go in vain. Mr.Bagga got this great idea. He pointed towards a guy from our school, standing with his friends, about 25-30m from us. And challenged me, "lets see, who can hit that guy with this guava!".
Choosing that guy as our prey over others was an easy decision for him. That guy was one year senior to us. He had some feminine qualities. He would play and talk with girls only. And at that time too, he was standing with girls.
I accepted Bagga's challenge to hit that guy. I knew I was bad at throwing things towards the target. So I invited him to try first. (Because if he would have hit, we were going to run away from the spot. And as I don't take my chance. So I won't loose. And if he would miss, I still would have a chance to win the challenge.)
He took his chance, threw his guava and missed. Then it was my turn. I was sure, I am going to miss it. But my fate was something else. I took the aim and threw my guava towards him. To my surprise, it was going right on target. Going...going.... and BANG. I had hit him and won the challenge. I felt ecstatic for a moment. Then suddenly, Bagga reminded me, "Run. Don't stand here. Just run". We both ran hard. We evaded from that spot as fast as we could. After reaching a comfortable distance away from the scene, we were ensured that no one spotted us. We laughed over the incident and life was same again until the next day.
Next day, when we both were going towards the junior wing. We got summoned by our transport in-charge teacher to come and meet her. We didn't knew why she had called both of us. She wasn't a very strict teacher. We went to see her without any hesitation. We saw the same guy standing besides her. The odd thing about him was, a big bump on his forehead due to swelling.
She asked us, "Did you threw a stone at him yesterday?".
We lied,"No ma'am, we don't know anything about it".
I added,"Ma'am, we didn't even saw him yesterday".
She threatened us,"Some students have seen you throwing stone at him. Now accept your mistake quietly or I will call P.T. instructor".
We knew that now we are caught. And if P.T. instructor would be called, he would give us a solid bashing for sure. So we accepted our charges.
I said, "Ma'am, it wasn't a stone. It was a guava actually and I didn't aimed it at him. I just threw it in the air and it hit him by chance".
She asked,"Why did you ran away from scene then?".
We lied, "Ma'am, we were terrified, that he would beat us".
She gave us a good scolding and warned us against any further mischiefs. We apologized and were pardoned.
We were lucky that the guy didn't complained to the P.T. instructor straight away.
I still wonder, how did I managed to hit him that day. I usually missed the stumps while fielding in cricket. As they say, "Great players(hunters) save their best for the Big Day". :P

Phone: 727.360.5000
|Pen and ink drawing - JLR 2013
For years we have been going to the beach at Pass-A-Grille. We have dined at the usual beach bars and tourist magnets unaware of a gastronomic gem located a mere block away from the beach road.
An epicurean delight, the Black Palm Restaurant located at 109 8th Avenue demanded our presence. After drooling over their on-line menu, we were helpless to resist.
We called ahead to make dinner reservations for yesterday evening, so when we arrived we were promptly seated and attended to by not one, but two servers.
Jim and Kevin provided us with excellent service - speedy delivery of adult beverages to get the juices flowing, and recommendations that enhanced our evening.
My date for the evening and for life, the Belle of Ballast Point, started with a glass of Bodini Chardonnay from Argentina - a light refreshing beverage.
I pondered the choices from the cocktail menu and decided on an interesting, yet unusual, Hendrick's Cucumber Mojito - Hendrick's Dry Gin, fresh cucumbers, fresh squeezed lime juice, fresh muddled mint, sugar cane syrup and a splash of club soda.
This was a perfect beverage to calm the nerves and wash away the road dust after a long and arduous journey across the bay from the paradise that is SOG City - South of Gandy in Tampa.
That might have been a touch melodramatic. The journey wasn't that bad, but the mojito was really good.
We decided on a bottle of Tikal "Patriota" (60% Bonarda/40% Malbec), 2010, another Argentinian taste treat, to accompany our dinner selections. While the wine breathed, we agonized over our food choices - should we order just from the tapas menu, or be little piglets and choose a couple of tapas and a couple of large plates from the dinner menu?
All right then, piglets it is! From the tapas menu we requested the Salchichón con Asiago, grilled South American salami, served with Asiago cheese and heavenly white corn cakes.
The sausage was savory and good, but I couldn't keep my bride away from those corn cakes.
She raved over them!
Our other tapas choice was the Lomo Fino Carpaccio - a peppercorn encrusted beef tenderloin seasoned with smoked salt, chimichurri oil and Asiago cheese.
This carpaccio was superb, topped with arugula and highlighted with flavorful tomato and avocado slices.
From the Cenas (dinners) side of the menu, the Belle chose the Café con Carne, an 8 ounce pecan-espresso encrusted filet mignon served with flash fried veggies and tortilla wrap mashed potatoes. This cut of Angus beef was perfectly prepared to the requested temperature and just melted on the tongue. Muy delicioso!
I was torn between the pan-seared lollipop lamb chops and the aquatic fowl. Jim said he could heartily recommend both, but the Pato Apasionado, an orange passion fruit glazed crispy duck breast with sofrito cream rice and grilled zucchini, was a personal favorite. Generally, if the server says it's good, then I defer to their judgement.
Jim did not lead me astray. This was a dish bursting with flavor cooked to a perfect medium rare as requested, and apparently as the chef prefers. The only difficulty I had with my dinner was keeping my bride away from the sofrito cream rice. She swooned over that rice. Swooned, I tell you!
Not that either of us really needed a dessert, but since women are blessed with a dessert stomach, she decided on the Cheesecake de Guava with a almond-butter crust. I'm not much for sweets, but the bite that I was allowed was very good.
It is always a highlight of any dining experience to meet the chef, and on this night we were honored to meet the young gentleman responsible for our outstanding dinner at the Black Palm - Matt Smith, the Chef de Cocina.
The Black Palm has been around since 2005 and we cannot believe we have only just discovered for ourselves this hidden gem. There is everything from food, beverage, and staff to recommend the Black Palm.
For all that we consumed and enjoyed, our total for the evening came to a very reasonable $158.36, plus an additional 20% for superior service.
I don't believe I mentioned that Black Palm has a full bar.

What a whirlwind of a week it has been. Between my birthday, going out pretty much every night, and picking up a new car I am exhausted. On Monday we had a neighborhood meetup at a bar/restaurant. Tuesday I had a book club meeting. Wednesday (my birthday) we grabbed a quick pizza, and then picked up our new car (Honda CR-V) :). On Thursday we went to Shadowbox to watch the Brew Ha Ha competition show. Friday we finally relaxed a bit, and cooked dinner at home, but then on Saturday we went out again – met a few friends at a Food Truck festival, and then walked across the street to Oktoberfest. Wheh! It feels like we never really stopped for a breather this week.
More on the new car: My husband has been meaning to get a new car for a few months now, and we wanted a more family friendly car. I have been pushing for an SUV for a while, and we test drove the Mazda CX-5 but weren't very impressed by it. The Honda CR-V seemed to be a better fit for us. After some wheeling and dealing the CR-V is ours. So far so good, I just need to get used to backing out of our narrow driveway :).
We received a few more cards this week congratulating us on the baby. It makes me happy to see that our friends and family are as excited as we are about our growing family. This week I have been feeling tired and have noticed more breakouts and dandruff. Hopefully this will go away when the baby arrives.
In other baby news, during my lunch break this week I was able to grab a few maternity items at H&M. They only have a few racks but it is nice to know that it's there. I still need some jeans and black pants. Maybe this weekend I will take a look at Gap and Old Navy to see what they have. Now off to another book club meeting.

I chose not to tour the garden this time as it as last time I visited, it elicited a feeling of sadness for what had been lost. Although the volunteers are working diligently and the garden still has many gorgeous features and plants, the joy of discovery that I always felt when I visited in former times was gone. Others in our group took lots of pictures of the gardens that look gorgeous!
Anna can't believe that Loree has another schefflera from Dan Hinkley in her hand. Loree looks pretty sly, don't you think?
More happy shoppers looking at plants! This sale had even more vendors than did the spring sale.
Dancing Oaks, from whom I actually purchased an oak among other things, did a nifty trick and appeared both at this sale and at Portland's HPSO fall sale a state away. They brought with them, as did a couple of other vendors, Billardiera longiflora, my favorite plant in the garden last week.
Kelly and Sue brought some great plants from Far Reaches Farms. I resisted buying anything from them at the sale because their nursery was to be a later stop in our day.
I put my camera away and enjoyed all of the great plants. Other vendors included Windcliff, Friendly Natives, Longbranch, Robinwood, Colvos Creek, Chimacum Woods, Keeping it Green, Foxglove, Rhododendron Species Foundation, Dragonfly, and the next nursery on our tour, Celestial Dream Gardens.
Celestial Dream Gardens has stunning plantingsfeaturing the plants that they sell and a few that they don't.
Celestial Dreams is not a huge nursery but every plant that they have is choice and highly garden worthy!
Fuchsia 'Delta's Groom' was a huge hit at the sale and Celestial Dream had more of them.
Debbie Teashon of Rainy Side Gardeners, who I had the pleasure of meeting at the San Francisco Garden Bloggers' Fling, lives on the Kitsap peninsula and joined our merry band at Heronswood to visit some of the sites on our itinerary. Debbie looks like she really bonded with Delta's Groom!
Laura likes the red chevron markings of this Persicaria! I think they'll be very happy together!
Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea' is still looking gorgeous. Jeff said that he'll have some available for sale next spring.
I was attracted to the dangerous looking foliage of Carlina acaulis ssp. simplex in cute little four inch pots. Jeff directed us to the garden where some were blooming. Yowsa! So glad that I liked the foliage. Isn't this a cool bloom? Both Loree and I got one of these!

FLEMISH MUSELAR VIRGINAL AFTER ANDREAS RUCKERS, 1620. (Musee Instrumental, Brussels)
FLEMISH SPINETT VIRGINAL AFTER IOANNES RUCKERS, c 1600. (Castello Sforzesco, Milan)
There are two types of Flemish virginals, the muselar having its keyboard to the right hand side of the instrument, producing a plummy sound due to its centre plucking position; and the spinett type, with the keyboard to the left, producing a sound similar to that of a harpsichord. Both types are offered by the workshop. The cases are of poplar and yellow pine, with a European spruce soundboard and pearwood bridges. The keyboard is of lime, with bone topped naturals and black accidentals. The stringing is in brass and iron. The casework is painted and marbled in the Flemish style, and watermarked papers with Latin inscriptions are applied to the inner lid and keywell flap, with other Flemish papers - hand-printed in our workshop - applied to the front and inner case. The virginals have 8 legged fumed English oak balustraded turned leg stands and are an ideal domestic instrument for those with limited space.
Compass C-c3. Transposable. 1 x 8' register. Dimensions 1700mm x 533mm x 254mm, weight approximately 26kg. Specific options including painted soundboard, matching stool, carrying cover, arpichordium stop all available.
FLEMISH SINGLE MANUAL HARPSICHORD AFTER HANS MOERMANS, 1584. (Hubbard Collection, Boston, Mass.)
A delightfully sweet, medium sized Flemish harpsichord, with a bright, warm sound. The casework is of poplar, and the soundboard is of European spruce. All of the action is in traditional materials with a lime keyboard covered with bone topped naturals and black accidentals. The casework is painted in the Flemish manner with Latin mottos to the inside lids, and traditional Flemish papers - printed by ourselves - are used to decorate the keywell and soundwell. The four leg turned trestle stand is collapsible for ease of transport, and the instrument is strung traditionally, with iron and brass wire.
Compass either GG-e3 or GG/BB-f3. Transposable. 2 x 8' registers. Dimensions 2134mm x 864mm x 254mm, weight approximately 46kg. Decorated soundboard, marbled casework, matching stool, carrying cover and balustraded stand are all available as options.
FLEMISH DOUBLE MANUAL HARPSICHORD AFTER IOANNES DANIEL DULCKEN, 1745. (Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC)
The largest extant two manual Flemish harpsichord, built in poplar with painted casework and hand fabricated copies of the original brassware. It has a sweet and even tone, less rich than the French instruments, partly due to the very large case and long scaling. Keyboards are of lime with bone faced naturals and ebony topped accidentals in the Flemish manner. Dulcken's two manual instruments feature a lute stop - normally associated with English instruments - and this is available if desired on our instrument. Stringing is in red and yellow brass, and iron wire, and the soundboard is of European spruce. The case is painted and gilded, with the 12 legged balustraded stand included as standard.
Compass FF-f3. Transposable. 2 x 8' 1 x 4' registers, lute stop available if desired. The lower manual slides to engage dogleg jacks. Dimensions 2616mm x 991mm x 279mm, weight approximately 77kg. Painted soundboard, gilded keywell and inner case (as on original), cabriole stand, matching stool and carrying cover are all available as options.

Wow, 2018 is here. Another year is behind us, lets see what 2017 was like and what's ahead in 2018.
Started 2017 in Kenedy, Tx. working in the oil fields of the Eagle Ford area. We were getting work, but not steady work with the gate guard company we were with. After several months of this we were told that new jobs were opening up close to Whitsett, Tx. so we made the move there and soon found a good gig where we were both working the day shift at a large ranch. We were very busy and actually loved the work, but after about a month/six weeks it tapered off and we had enough. The company just didn't have enough work for all the people they had, and lots of empty promises.
We contacted several companies about gate guard jobs and one called us back with an opportunity in East Texas starting in July. After being in South Texas with all the dirt and dust in the oil fields the piney woods of East Texas sounded wonderful. We would both be working 12 hr shifts-one day shift and one night, but said if we wanted some help to let them know and they could send another couple to help out. We took the job, packed up, and headed East.
Arrived in Goodrich, Tx. in July, found a great campground with our site beneath a huge canopy of 80 ft pine trees. The hot summer sun barely penetrated our motorhome so we only had to run one air conditioner all summer. We were tucked back in a hollow with a lake across from the site. Nice and quiet with only 2 other campers and we all worked the same place. Great change for us…we loved it!!
During that first 30 days of working 24/7 we notified our company we wanted some help. Great pay, easy work, but not much of a life. Laurie worked days and I worked nights so we only saw each other at shift change. We had already decided when we embarked on this RV full time journey that money was NOT at the top of our list. Our relief couple arrived after about 30 days. Laurie and I would work days and they worked nights. We had our life back!
August 2017–Survived Hurricane Harvey. That was a fun time. I remember it rained for 36 hours straight. Flooding was just a few miles down the road from us.
Celebrated 2 years full time Rv travel adventures in September. We both love this lifestyle as we have met some great and interesting people along the way. It's so nice to be able to visit and experience different places. Kinda strange for myself who spent over 20 years in Real Estate, but I can't imagine living the bricks and sticks way again…maybe one day, but not now.
October 2017-We took a few days off and headed to DFW to visit with friends and family. Celebrated all my kids birthdays with them and also visited with Mom, Sister, and Dad. Also went by my Aunt and Uncle's place and saw them with some cousins too. It was a great time and we also came home with a (new to us) motor scooter. We were very busy during October.
In conclusion, we had a great year. This is the best gig we have had since we started 2 years ago. The job is supposed to last a year and we hope it does so we can stay here for a while longer. We love it here. Laurie works most days and I take care of the house duties. Yes, I am a "house hubby" as she calls me. She loves her job, the guys bring her food all the time, she knows them all by name(over 100) and they all miss her when she takes a day off occasionally. I do most all the shopping, cooking, and cleaning. It works for us. We are both happy and have a great life.
Whats in store for 2018? As I said earlier more of the same…we hope we work here well into the new year, but if we learned anything is that things change. That's ok. Change is good. If it happens we are ready, if not, we are ready also. We don't worry about it, in fact worry is not something I do a lot of now. A new adventure is just down the road!

I'm going to be very open and admit something here… For a long time, especially the last year or so leading up to our move to Zambia, I never made an effort or even had a desire to spend quality time with my family.
I'm not saying I didn't love or enjoy them. I did! But all my effort was put into spending time with other people. When I was away for a night or two, or if I was gone for a week (a rare occasion, but it happened now and then) I missed my family; but not so much it ached inside me or so much I was ready to get home just to hear Alex's puns, Jackson's witty remarks, Andy's incredible noises, Cam's serious expressions, Mom's willingness to help me with/talk about anything and her servant's heart, or Dad's goofy faces and steadfast diligence to spend time with us all even though he works a full time job.
Those things weren't on my mind and I didn't appreciate or recognize those things about my family members like I should've.
In the last (almost) year, Mom was gone for a month (during which time I learned to appreciate her in ways I never had before); but personally I have only spent two nights away from my family.
The first night I spent away from them was shortly after we moved here and I was only gone for around 15 hours. So in 9 months I hadn't spent one night away from my family. We'd woken up and gone to bed all in the same house every day (besides my mom for that month).
I realized after a while that I had grown closer to my family and enjoyed being around them more than I ever had before. I wasn't spending a majority of my day in my room or constantly wishing I was off with friends like I used to (*Note: I still ask about and enjoy friend time immensely and no less than I used to; I'm just learning to enjoy my family more than before.) However, I didn't realize just how much I had grown to love my family until I spent the second night away from them just this past weekend…
I had a wonderful time at a sleepover with 3 fellow missionary sisters. It was an incredibly girly weekend (something I'm not used to but was a welcome change) and it was the first time I'd stayed up later than 1 a.m. in months!
On the topic of it being incredibly girly, after only being there a short time and seeing 3 sisters interact with no brothers around (they have an older brother who is out of the house), it was so fun and funny to me I just sat down on a bed and laughed so hard I nearly cried. I realized nearly all the girls I used to hang out with in Missouri either had only brothers or had a brother or two who hung out with us; and having only brothers myself I recognized this was a very rare and new occasion for me to be around girls who had a house all to themselves! It was such a fun and memorable overnight!
At the same time, I was thinking constantly about my family and how much I missed each one of them…I was having a blast and enjoyed every single minute; but after only 28 hours I was ready to be home and see my family. Again, I had such a fun time!! There was even talk of staying another night which I would've enjoyed just as much I'm sure; but I was also happy to come home and see my brothers and parents.
I walked in our front door and felt like I hadn't seen my family in an eternity. My family sat down at the dinner table to eat and I sat with them even though I had already eaten.
I told them how much fun I had, shared an overview of what we did, and showed them a few pictures. Then, I told them how much I had missed each one of them and how I would've enjoyed staying with my friends longer, but was thrilled to be home again with my family at the same time.
My brother Jackson, the witty one, proved his wit again by slowly turning a stunned expression in my direction and saying in a voice of surprise, "You…you…missed us?" I couldn't help but laugh…nor could the rest of my family; but his shock at my statement really made me think: he's surprised that I missed him. Why should he have to be surprised? Why haven't I missed them so much in the past? Why didn't I recognize how wonderful and fun my family is until recently?
So while his question, tone, and expression were rather funny, it still made me sad to think about how low of a priority my family used to be to me and how I wasn't the only one who recognized that. On the other hand, it was also uplifting and exciting to see the shock on all of their faces and know just how much they meant to me now and for me to know I can change and have made a good start.
I'm not perfect. I still become easily annoyed by my brothers and have a harsh tone with them often. I still argue with my parents and make smart-mouth remarks I shouldn't. I have a long way to go…a VERY long way.
I may not have recognized it until recently. And I may have even surprised myself by how much I missed my family after such a short time, but I now recognize how much I have bonded with each of them and how much I truly do love, want, and need each one of them.

KRA | East End of LI | 05/31/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)
"By 1978 Natalie was riding a crest and her music career could seemto do no wrong. With a string of hit, well crafted albums from 1975 to 1977, and a hit double live album the year prior, she managed to develop a unigue style all her own that fused R & B, and Pop with tinges of Funk, Jazz and Gospel.
"I love You So", released in 1979 seemed to brake the chain, there are some strong tracks here, but the mix of Disco, Pop, and Countryesque songs seemed like a poor cousin to Donna Summer's 1979 blockbuster "Bad Girls" that also mixed these musical genres, but with a better flow.
The lead single "Stand By" failed to catch fire, and the followup "Your Lonely Heart" (the albums best track to me) took Natalie's core following by suprise. The same Natalie who a year earlier was packing them in to her concerts and taking her mega crossover hit "Our Love" to the top of the charts seemed to loose her way.
This album also got caught in the tabloid stories about Natalie's alleged Drug Abuse, and I remember when I first bought this album on vinyl at the Wiz in downtown Newark the week it first came out, a person on line behind me made a derogatory remark about her and that he would never buy another one of her albums. A superstars demons should not take the focus off of their artistry, but 1979 was turing out to be not Natalie's year.
Natalie Cole I Love You So
Nathaniel Marsaleno McGhee | Cleveland, Ohio United States | 06/29/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Natalie Cole's 6th Album and First 1979 Album I Love You So marks her Official Forray into Disco and Country.This Album fits perfectly into the late 1970's at the height of the Disco Era.The Disco Songs are I Love You So,You're So Good,The Winner,and Stand By,with The Country Songs bieng It's Been You,Your Lonely Heart,and Sorry,and Oh,Daddy,and Who Will Carry On? finish out the Song List.Finally Comparisons to her father the late Nat King Cole,Aretha Franklin,Diana Ross,Chaka Khan,Ella Fitzgerald,and Nancy Wilson are beginning to subside."
The Album Which Would Follow Her "Explosive" Live Album from
S. Sarabia | Portland, ME, USA | 05/03/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I absolutely LOVED "Stand By" the first time I heard it. It reminded me of a more Disco-ish version of "This Will Be." I only wish that Capitol might have released a separate and longer "Disco" version of it so that it might have picked up a
little more heat a la the clubs. This song is what prompted me to buy the album in the first place because of its positive message and feel-good groove. The first two cuts, I'll admit, are Disco; yes. This is apparent. However, they're NOT the kind of Disco that Anita Ward, Donna Summer nor Thelma Houston were doing. It was the kind of Disco that wouldn't have fared well at Radio for the sheer reason that it didn't have much OOMPH to it; it was plain, ordinary R&B (for that day) with a Disco backbeat. Natalie quite possibly might have done better had she gotten with the likes of Pete Bellotte (as Summer had). Next, we move into more familiar Cole territory with the beautiful ballad, "It's Been You." Had this song been the first single, she might have known another huge hit a la "Our Love," but "Stand By" hit the Top Ten anyway; it just stalled out at #9. "Your Lonely Heart" perplexes me. We have yet another ballad, but this one features country slide guitar and the soul siren attempting yodeling. Hmmmm...a little weird, but completely palatable once you let go and really give it a few listens. Next up is "The Winner," which finds us in a more jazzy place (not quite the tropical jazz of "La Costa," but certainly jazz that would follow years later.) The weirdest song on this album is a creepy, dragged out R&B-styled remake of Fleetwood Mac's "Oh, Daddy." It's got electric guitar (in places) but doesn't really ever pick up an already poorly sequenced album. There might have been an uptempo (Disco) side and a downtempo (Chill) side, but this never happened unfortunately. Another beautiful ballad in "Sorry" follows. Again, a potential #1 single might have been apparent here had Capitol known what it was doing. "Stand By" comes in toward the end of the album (the 8th cut) and closes out with a final (and beautiful) ballad, "Who Will Carry On," which finds Miss Natalie in a place that is reminiscent of "Take A Look" from 1993; in so far as that it has a "societal" vibe about it. Mind you, she was pregnant with Robbie while recording this album and her vocals seem a bit tired, but still energized, but obviously lacking the vocal energy and height from her "LIVE" set only a year prior. I like to look at this album as the "last really good album" that she recorded before two duds ended her string of seven years on Capitol. "I Love You So" would end up being her last Gold album before she'd resurface in more hit-friendly territory after a bout with drug abuse and subsequent rehab around 1985. On the strength of the ballads and the hit single "Stand By," I give it four stars. It's essential if you're a fan. If you're new to her older stylings, this would not be the place to start. I would suggest beginning with either "Inseparable" or "Unpredictable;" "Thankful" even, if you can find it on CD for less than $300.00. I STILL play it fairly often and still think she looks absolutely beautiful on the cover with those pretty amber eyes and longer hair. :-)"

Our law firm has extensive appellate litigation experience. We have litigated appeals on behalf of both civil and criminal clients in the US Supreme Court, the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
While the majority of our appeals involve cases in which we were primary trial or litigation counsel, other lawyers and law firms also have hired us to file appeals on their clients' behalf.
Noteworthy cases include:
- United States v. S.K, 446 Fed. Appx. 558 (4th Cir. 2011): We won a new sentencing hearing for a client who was improperly sentenced in federal court to a term of imprisonment of 268 months under the Armed Career Criminal Act.
- Garlock et al. v. Wake County, 211 N.C. App. 200 (2011): We, along with another law firm and public interest groups, represented several citizens who alleged that the Wake County School Board violated the Open Meetings law in the process of abandoning the school system's policy aimed toward maintaining racial diversity in public schools. The Court of Appeals held that the school board violated the Open Meetings law.
- Frink et al. v. Batten et al., 197 N.C. App. 231 (2009): We represented successfully the estate of a mentally ill man who committed suicide in the Columbus County jail while awaiting trial on misdemeanor traffic offenses. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's denial of the defendants' motions for summary judgment.
- Frink et al. v. Batten et al., 184 N.C. App. 725 (2007): In the same case discussed above, the defendants also appealed the trial court's denial of their motion to transfer venue, and the Court of Appeals ruled that venue was proper in any county in which some part of acts or omissions giving rise to the case arose.

New East Nashville bar Walden opening in former Hop Stop space
"Things do not change; we change," Henry David Thoreau wrote in Walden. Hate to argue with Thoreau, but stuff's a-changing too — like the old Hop Stop space in East Nashville, which, come March, is set to open as a new bar concept: Walden. New owners Robyn Donnelly and Katie MacLachlan announced details about the new East Side... Read More

I have been a New York Yankee hater for more than 45 years. I can't ever recall rooting for the Yankees in any game or series. And, although not a Boston Red Sox fan, I have certainly always favored the Red Sox (my father's team) in their storied rivalry with the Yankees. Until this year, that is. For some reason, I'm rooting for New York in their gripping series with the Boston, the fifth game of which is being played as I write this. It wasn't a deliberate decision. I just found myself rooting for Yankees pitches to be called strikes and for Yankee hits to fall in.
My first reaction to these reactions was guilt, sort of like when I started voting for Republicans. Then, I tried to figure out why I was rooting for the Yankees. I concluded it mostly had to do with the attitiude of Red Sox fans, who constantly try to glorify themselves as uniquely long-suffering victims, even though they have actually had as much (or more) to cheer about in the past 45 years as the fans of many other baseball teams. But reaching this understanding didn't help. I still couldn't believe I was rooting for the Yankees and I continued to feel guilty.
But now the New York Times, hometown paper of the Yankees, has come out in favor of the Red Sox. I learned about this from Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online and I am deeply indebted to Mr. Goldberg. For it is clear that the Times is supporting the Red Sox for precisely the reasons that I am not, and therefore it is clear that I longer need to feel guilty about rooting for the hated Yankees in this particular series. Instead, I can feel proud of my instincts.
HINDROCKET adds: I know what you mean, Deacon. I was a Red Sox fan once, but no more. Any team that relies on former Twins like David Ortiz and Todd Walker is in more trouble than Pedro Martinez can bail them out of. In the photo below, Walker is trying to get to a line drive that went for a single.
He never got to those balls when he was a Twin, either.
