Not since Rosemary's Baby has New York City been so horrified by an infant.
Viral marketing agency Thinkmodo (the N.Y.C.-based viral marketing agency also behind the "Carrie" prank last October), came up with a brilliantly wicked stunt involving a realistic animatronic doll and a remote-controlled stroller to promote Devil's Due, a new horror film out Friday, and the results are hilarious.
Unsuspecting New Yorkers approach the abandoned baby carriage (and not just any baby carriage, the nearly $1,000 Bugaboo Cameleon stroller), but their concern quickly turns to terror as the puffy-eyed "Devil Baby" pops out at them with a diabolical scream.
Most are scared out of their wits by the hellborn babe, save for one steely sanitation worker who acts as though he has seen a lot worse in his day.

When you have been successful in finding a compatible mate who is financially stable, attractive and very likable, friends and acquaintances will seek your advice in finding someone similar. Which is understandable. BUT there's more to finding the perfect mate for you than going to right places, writing the perfect dating profile, and dressing to attract the type of man that you want.
I have thought about this a great deal recently. Actually, I started thinking about it after one of my in-laws pointed out that me and my husband share many of the same character traits, yet completely different personalities. It's absolutely true. I am somewhat introverted. I tend to live in my head. My husband is very extroverted. Loves to talk, even to complete strangers. But character wise we are pretty identical. Also, we share the same values and we both grew up middle class, worshiping the same religion. Our shared values were what first drew me to my husband, but I never even considered our shared character traits. Sometimes, you don't notice these things until someone else points them out. Yet I have noticed shared character traits in other couples.
For example, I know a woman who is quite crass and obnoxious and her live-in boyfriend is also crass and obnoxious. They both seem mentally unstable and incapable of controlling their own emotions and behavior, which is why people like me – who have full command of their faculties – avoid them like the plague. I'm sure you have all noticed couples like that as well.
People who love drama are attracted to people whose character guarantees that there will be drama. Substance abusers are attracted to other substance abusers. People who are co-dependent are also attracted to substance abusers, because that's their addiction. I believe in every case of honest courtship – when no one is faking their way into the relationship, like attracts like. People are attracted to themselves. They fall in love with an outer version of them. Or, perhaps, it would be more accurate to say that people who love themselves fall in love with people they relate to.
People who hate themselves do their own version of the same thing. Since people who don't love themselves can't truly love anyone else, they seek out people who share their own low opinion of them, or at least of themselves. This is why women (and men) with low self-esteem always seem to meet and become involved with people who treat them badly – both friends and lovers. It's not a coincidence.
I think you will find that most people recognize this pattern of behavior for what it is. As I said in Standards and Why Losers Want You to Have None, "Women with high standards would not settle for being a baby mama instead of a wife and mother. Women with high standards would not associate with men they know are dangerous to them and those around them…". This is why there are legions of Black men and non-Black racists on YouTube, in the media and in real life, attempting to convince Black women (who don't already believe) that they are worthless. People who feel worthless will allow themselves to be used and abused by anyone and everyone. The worst part is, the believers among us foolishly defend those who defile our image.
It's absolutely insane, but you need only have a discussion about any of a number of very public instances of someone (usually a Black man) committing a violent crime against Black women or bashing Black women and their Black female defenders ALWAYS rise up to protect them. Frankly, I've never seen anything like it… Outside of the American Black collective that is. It's truly mind boggling. Even if you are a believer in free speech, it's ludicrous to fight for someone's right to violate, slander and dehumanize you. Only a fool fights for violence and hate speech directed at them and their group. Especially when your group – in this case Black women– are extremely under-represented in every way in this society. And when we are represented (in the media) it is usually to foster a negative stereotype.
In any case, the anti-BW cheerleaders will never find real love. Love from another requires that we love ourselves first, so that we have love to share with another. There's an African proverb that goes: "Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt." You can only give to someone what you already possess.
How do you know if someone loves themselves?
Well, for starters, people who love themselves are health conscious – they eat right and exercise. They value themselves and want to live as long as possible, so that they can share their love with family and friends. People who love themselves tend to have a positive outlook on life. They have faith in themselves, if nothing else. This is why people who love themselves find love so often and easily. When it's staring them square in the face they aren't looking for the negatives, they simply trust their guts and embrace it. And they trust their ability to handle whatever their partner may, or may not, do during the course of the relationship. Even when they have messy breakups in their past.
I have a friend who's been dating a man who uses the "My ex was horrible to me so I can't commit excuse." I don't buy it, but if it is true, she should be extremely wary of this guy. Anyone who claims that they can't see falling in love again because of a past relationship is either a liar or a coward. What does a past relationship have to do with one's feelings (for a completely different person) in the future? If a former spouse can have that much power over your life doesn't that indicate that you are still pining for them, like some pathetic lap dog, hoping they will come back to you? And if that is the case, you are not ready to be in a relationship with anyone other than yourself. Which is fine. Your best relationship must be with you. Once you've got that squared away, then you can move on to having relationships with others.
In addition, people who love themselves won't be angered by your happiness. They won't put themselves down over the smallest mistakes. They won't feel the need to put you down either. They won't damage their bodies by doing drugs, drinking enough alcohol to get drunk, or sleeping around. They won't assume that you are laughing at them, even though you hadn't previously noticed their existence. (My BFF and I were actually confronted by such a person in a Walmart last month, when we laughed about the name of a laundry product. :lol:)
There are many other qualities that I could list, but I'm sure you get the gist.
It's very important for a woman to know herself and understand her true desires, because that will dictate who she is attracted to. I have known so many women who said they wanted one thing then went for the exact opposite. You can lie to the world, but do not lie to yourself!
And, please, remember that who you spend time with is who you will become. Be mindful of keeping company with negative people. They will fill your head and heart with venom. It's not good for you health-wise, and it can wreak havoc on your romantic relationships. No psychologically healthy person wants to keep company with a sour puss, so don't become one. Become the type of lover, spouse and friend that you wish to attract. You will attract, and be attracted to, who you are.

I can't get the picture to turn, and looking at it from this angle, I think he looks more like a pirate that St. Nick. It was the best I could do. Along with this pizza, we watched Horton Hears a Who. We love Dr. Seuss around here!
Saturday morning we went to our ward Christmas party. This was our attempt to get a picture of all of the kids with Santa. At least Peanut wasn't crying...the other two were.
Ellie did talk to Santa from a distance. She and her doll both gave him five.
This morning, Ellie busied herself for a while inventing a new soup. Originally she said she was making "apple sugar pie" but it eventually turned into apple soup. This reminds me of a saying of my dad's. He's an amazing chef and I've often heard him say, "how do you know what you're making until it's done?" He's good at making incredible meals without a plan. I am not. But maybe our budding chef inherited this characteristic from her grandpa.
Here is the recipe, in her own words (as well as I remember them, anyway):
"Put some hot chocolate in a bowl and you put in a little extra milk. Then you chop up some apples and just plop them in. Oh! And you add in bits of cookie dough. And that's it."
Ellie got herself a cutting board and a butter knife and cut up an apple into bite-size pieces. She got the cookie dough from the mixing bowl Jason had just finished using. She scraped out the tiny leftover bits and added them to her concoction.
And the verdict is...
We were both pretty surprised that she actually ate it. But she did, and she liked it. She offered some to Jason, and I was very impressed by his answer. He said, "Thanks for the offer, but it looks like there's just enough for one person." I don't think I'd have handled it so tactfully.
We also made crystal snowflakes. This was SO neat!
Jason gave both kids blanket rides this evening. This was Cutie's first experience with blanket rides. He enjoyed it. Prepare yourselves; coming up is the best picture taken of Ellie and Cutie together in the history of ever.
They are both looking at the camera AND smiling. And no one is crying. It's a Christmas miracle.

But the point is that on osx, you can remap the keys to whatever you want. So, e.g. I have remapped ctrl+left to next word, ctrl-pgup to begin of document etc, like on windows. It is even possible to remap entirely to emacs. Osx apps that are properly made, recognize this. So, it's not right to hard-code this. That's what I don't like about firefox for instance. It totally ignores key-mappings. So,,for me, it's back to 'normal' personality ;-) support at wingide.com wrote: > Hi, > > We're pleased to announce the release of Wing IDE 2.0.3.

NEW YORK Ivan Rodriguez was the steady hand for the Florida Marlins when they won the 2003 World Series. A year later, he was the spark that helped turn around the Detroit franchise when nobody wanted to be a Tiger.
The New York Yankees hope he can be a little of both during their push for the playoffs.
The Yankees acquired the 14-time All-Star from the Tigers on Wednesday for hard-throwing reliever Kyle Farnsworth, a trade that filled glaring holes for both contenders.
"Honestly, I was shocked by this, but that's baseball," Rodriguez said. "Now, I'm just looking forward to playing for the Yankees and maybe I will play against Detroit again in the playoffs."
In the option year of a $50 million deal he signed with the Tigers in February 2004, Rodriguez will try to fill the void in the Yankees' lineup created by catcher Jorge Posada's shoulder injury. Posada had arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday and is out for the season.
The 36-year-old Rodriguez, who has 13 Gold Glove awards, was hitting .295 with five homers in 82 games this season.
Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente and Rodriguez are the only three players in baseball history with at least 12 Gold Gloves and a career .300 average or better. Rodriguez has caught 2,142 games, trailing only Carlton Fisk (2,226) and Bob Boone (2,225) in terms of longevity behind the plate. "He's still an everyday guy," Yankees manager Brian Cashman said. "He's an upgrade in spite of everything we've got."
Rodriguez has said he wants to play next season and beyond, but for now is focusing solely on helping the Yankees catch Tampa Bay and Boston in the AL East.
"It's going to be very exciting," he said. "They are in the race and I'm ready to do my job."
Tigers president Dave Dombrowski said the team didn't want to trade Rodriguez, but had bigger needs in the bullpen. The two teams began discussing the deal early Wednesday and had it wrapped up about six hours later, just as the Yankees were finishing off a 13-3 win over the Orioles. The Yankees expect Rodriguez to join the team on Thursday, when they start a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels.
"Pudge has done an outstanding job for us," Dombrowski told reporters before Detroit played the Cleveland Indians. "I'm sure he was very surprised by this, but for him this is a good situation. He's going to New York City, and they are in contention."
Scott Boras, Rodriguez's agent, said playing in the Bronx was very appealing to his client. "Pudge had a no-trade clause and he waived it today to go to New York," Boras told The Associated Press. "Pudge has always wanted to play in New York, and Detroit felt it needed a relief pitcher, so both sides were able to get what they wanted to some degree."
The busy Yankees made their second major deal in the week leading up to Thursday's trade deadline. On Friday, they acquired outfielder Xavier Nady and left-hander Damaso Marte from the Pittsburgh Pirates for four minor leaguers. The addition of Marte gave the Yankees the freedom to deal Farnsworth, who has been an inconsistent part of their bullpen for the past three seasons.
Farnsworth was 1-2 with a 3.65 ERA in 45 games, and joins a bullpen badly in need of reinforcements three days after veteran Todd Jones was removed from the closer role in Detroit.
"It's always hard, no matter what. Just one of those things you have to deal with," Farnsworth said in the Yankees' clubhouse. "I'm going someplace they want me, that's how I look at it."
Farnsworth pitched for the Tigers for the first four months of 2005, compiling a 2.32 ERA in 46 games before he was traded to the Braves at the trading deadline.
Dombrowski said it would be up to manager Jim Leyland to decide where to slot Farnsworth in the bullpen. Fernando Rodney, who has one career save, is the new closer for the Tigers.
"Kyle was a big part of our bullpen," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It was tough to see him go."
Inge said he was excited to be getting a chance to start behind the plate on an everyday basis for the first time since 2003, when he started 98 times at catcher. Since then, he's gotten most of his starts at third base.
"I wan to play every day not matter what position, so I'm pumped," he said. "Did I learn a lot from Pudge? He's a future Hall of Famer, so watching him makes everybody better. I'm not Pudge, I'll just go out and do what I can."
Tigers slugger Gary Sheffield said the trade made sense to both sides.
"This is a surprise to people if they don't know the situations of the players," he said. "Both teams get better by this, and that's what a trade is supposed to be all about."
Rodriguez appeared in the Tigers' empty dugout hours before the game and waved over to Indians players, who were taking batting practice. He then disappeared back into the tunnel.
"You talk about a Hall of Fame catcher coming in here," Girardi said. "He's the complete package. He can do everything."
Later in the day, the Yankees traded reliever LaTroy Hawkins to Houston for Class-A infielder Matt Cusick. New York designated Hawkins for assignment Saturday after acquiring Nady and Marte.
Hawkins was 1-1 with a 5.71 ERA in 33 appearances this season for the Yankees, who designated him for assignment Saturday after acquiring outfielder Xavier Nady and reliever Damaso Marte in a trade with Pittsburgh.
New York also sent cash to the Astros as part of the deal, completed one day before baseball's non-waiver trade deadline. Hawkins signed a $3.75 million, one-year contract with the Yankees last December.

Petworth has welcomed a new restaurant to the neighborhood, and according to Zagat.com, it is a must dine if French food is your fancy. Chez Billy is from the masterminds of such neighborhood staples as Marvin, Blackbyrd, and American Ice Co.
According to Zagat:
The Look: Flickering candles and ornate chandeliers cast a warm glow over the exposed brick, dark wood and intriguingly accented interior. The roomy environs provide mingling areas, while those feeling less social can retreat to private nooks or to the upstairs lounge and balcony, which offers a birds-eye view of the action below. Keeping its integrity as a historically significant spot, the dining room recasts its wood-backed booths, vintage lighting and tiled floor with verve and class.
The Menu: Expect moderately priced bistro classics like mussels, steak frites and skate, as well as desserts like a pineapple tart tatin and a chocolate hazelnut torte.
The Drinks: Look for classic cocktails like the Sazerac, French wines and international beers that pair with the Gallic comfort fare.
The Scene: Rapidly developing Petworth hasn't had a destination dining spot for many years, but the Hilton brothers have considerable cred and a huge following. Look for the location to cater to a diverse, lively mix.
This place is definitely on our list to try out in the near future! You can find it at 3815 Georgia Avenue NW or call 202-506-2080.

TONIGHT'S VISIT of Leeds Rhinos will bring Featherstone Rovers half-back/hooker Matty Wildie full circle.
In the same game last year - on January 31 - Wildie suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury which ended his season before it had even begun.
Wildie had joined Rovers from Dewsbury Rams the previous autumn and his year-long injury was a huge setback to both the player and his new club.
But Wildie made his return in Rovers' Boxing Day win at Halifax and has been ever-present throughout their pre-season campaign, forming an impressive half-back combination with stand-off Anthony Thackeray.
The events of last year will be in the back of his mind tonight, but Wildie, 26, sees it as a hurdle to overcome before he can focus fully on a big year with Rovers.
The former Wakefield Trinity man admitted: "Hopefully I can get this one out of the way, then the injury is behind me."
Wildie, who underwent a knee reconstruction after suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage in Rovers' 32-16 victory a year ago, remembers the past 12 months as a "bit of a lonely place for me at times".
He said: "It was tough. At the start there was only me who was injured.
"I didn't go in [for the operation] for a couple of weeks and you're stuck at home with your leg up and you can't do much.
"It's frustrating. After that Scott Turner did his knee and it was good to have somebody there, to try and push each other along.
"I think both of us are happy with how things are going now and we've both turned out stronger people for it."
Turner is also now back in action and has shown good form in pre-season matches.
"Jon [Rovers coach Jon Sharp] has shown faith in me and instilled confidence as well and that's showing in how I'm going at the moment," Wildie added.
"Fingers crossed I can have a good year."
Wildie's return has added to a stronger Rovers squad who are aiming to improve on last year's fourth place finish in the Kingstone Press Championship.
"Pre-season's going really well," Wildie said.
"We've been in an extra day a week, which is quite tough and challenging, but it is paying off at the moment because we are getting results.
"Performances are picking up, the lads are feeling confident and we are really looking forward to the season starting."
Wildie reckons last Sunday's 28-20 win over Wakefield Trinity was an indication of how well Rovers could do this year.
"We've had four wins, but we are more focused on our performances than results at the moment," he said.
"But it is good to get a win as well and Wakefield sent a strong team.
"No disrespect to Hunslet and York, but we needed that challenge. Wakefield definitely gave us that and Leeds will as well. We've made a few signings this year and some of the older lads have moved on.
"It is a fresh start for us as a team. We've got Jay Walton, Frankie Mariano, Keal Carlile, Michael Knowles and Richard Moore so we've got a bit more size and skill as well.
"Leeds will be a good test and hopefully we can put in another good performance."

Richard Carlton: Hi, everyone! Richard Carlton here. I'm here today with Mr. Calvin Mosiman. Hi, Calvin.
Calvin Mosiman: Hey, Calvin here.
Richard Carlton: Calvin is here. He is in the office. Calvin, you might need some more caffeine. You're looking a little flat.
So Calvin is helping us out with Starting Point and he is one of our Senior Engineers. In fact, some of you are probably customers of Calvin's, right? Customers that Calvin takes good care of including certain companies that fly drones at the Olympics.
Anyway, so this video is about the calendar. And Calvin integrated the calendar for us and basically it was a demo that was originally inspired by a demo that Jeremy from Soliant had put together. So Jeremy kind of took this open source calendar and bolted into a copy of FileMaker and I was like, "Wow! That's pretty cool." And then some of my staff were talking and he goes, "Yup, boss. We already did that." I'm like, "What?"
You remember that calendar we did like all those years ago? I go, "Yeah." They go, "Yes!" Well, we've been playing with that calendar. So the short version is that there's a company called FullCalendar, LLC. They make a web-based calendar that's really sleek. And so, we have the link right here for you. This is actually the company.
And they really have two calendars. They have a free one which is the one that we're building [0:01:22] [Phonetic] and they keep it up to date. In fact, you can actually see it working right here. It actually works. And in fact, you see it's a complete demo of this application and it's got month views, week views, day view, list view. We have all this stuff built into Starting Point. It's all here.
click here
Now, they actually have a paid calendar which has a lot more features in it like Gantt charting and things like that. That is something that we didn't build into Starting Point largely because there's licensing fees and pretty much with Starting Point, we have to start with something free. We don't start automatically with the most expensive thing.
FileMaker Videos On YouTube
This is built-in. It's ready for you right now if you have Starting Point 5.1 or greater. And so, I want to go ahead and jump over. So this is the website from the FullCalendar, LLC people. And I'm going to jump over to us here in Starting Point.
Now, I am in Preferences right now. And Calvin, you helped us build all this. So we're going to walk through this in the preferences. So before we get into how the calendar interacts in FileMaker, I mean you already kind of know what it's going to look like. It's going to look a lot like this.
Let's talk about the Preferences real quick. So, we have the new calendar. We call it the HTML Calendar. Once again, it's going to be rendered in a Web Viewer, right Calvin?
Calvin Mosiman: Right.
Richard Carlton: And tell us about the next couple of features.
Calvin Mosiman: Yeah. So, we have the HTML Calendar and you can select whether you want to have that active or not. If you prefer the old FileMaker calendar that was built in the original FM Starting Point, you can say no to HTML Calendar and see that. But for everyone who wants the cool, new features, say yes to HTML Calendar. And that's yes by default and that's what you'll see.
The next option down is the Default View. Now, a lot of calendars have different views for seeing the month, day, week, or in this case, we also have a List View option as well. And whatever you want to see when you first log in is what you'll want to select for preference here.
So a lot of people like to see the month. I like to see the week and see what my week looks like so I'd set that to a week. The Day Range is the days before and after a focused date that the calendar will gather. Schedule the tasks to display on that calendar. If the day range is not specified, all texts will be collected. Otherwise, only tasks within the day range of the default date will be selected. To show 60 days, enter 60.
Richard Carlton: All right. So let me ask a question. So when the calendar displays, it has to gather the items that are on the calendar. And those are the to-do items. So they are basically tasks that we already have a task system in Starting Point. If I go over here and I'm on the main menu, I go to tasks. So we see this list here. Do all these tasks show up on the calendar automatically or only certain ones show up on the calendar?
Calvin Mosiman: If you look at the details on a task, there is a flag field called Show on Calendar. By default, Show on Calendar is checked. If you want something to be hidden from the calendar, you can remove that check box and hide it from the calendar. But by default, everything is going to show on the calendar.
Richard Carlton: OK, great. So I'm going to go ahead and continue here. Obviously, we have a list that's a little bit longer than our video. I can bring this up but you can scroll through this list and get an idea that these are the items. So the items back on the Preferences is saying that it's going to grab item 60 days in the future and 60 days in the past. So originally in the original code, that number, we only affected the things in the past because we wanted all the things in the future. So is that truly future and past, Calvin?
Calvin Mosiman: That is truly future and past. So we could change it so that everything in the future.
Richard Carlton: So back to the Preferences here, the Preferences allows us to specify the day range that this thing is going to fetch those task records. Sixty might be OK for a lot of people but if you want to see the calendar items further out in the future, you might need a bigger number. And so, 90 might be more appropriate for you. You'll want to kind of adjust that or leave it blank and then it gets everything.
The downside to this and why this doesn't do everything all the time is because you could actually have 50, 80, and 100 people use this calendar and if they're all putting items in and you haven't set all the items, it could slow the display of the counter as it tries to process everyone's items for however many years it has data for. So, it could be a little taxing on the system so that's why we give it a day range, 60 upfront and 60 days behind of the current date.
The next item over is the overview. And when we came in here previously, I kind of jumped through here and showed people the Calendar IO website which is a really good resource to check out. And to build this, we actually took their source code and we copied and pasted it out of the FullCalendar website, right? Is that how that works?
Calvin Mosiman: Yes. There's a download link in their download area and that gives you a folder with all of the files that we hold the data out of to put it into our solution.
Richard Carlton: So if come over here to Calendar Options right here, it's the next one over I say view calendar code, this is going to pop another window and this is the code that we need that drives our calendar, right? So I'm looking at all these tabs, JSFunction, HTML, CSS1 and 2. So we use all these, correct?
Calvin Mosiman: Yeah. You can see in the JSFunction field some of the settings that the calendar references to generate the display on the calendar. So if we go down and see where it says height, there is a kind of a variable there where we're inserting the height from a FileMaker field and the same is true with the view. We're sending that from a FileMaker field, the data 3 as well and the other options.
So we have this option here called minTime, and that's the minimum time that we're going to display on the calendar in the week or day view. So right now, it's set to 6 AM as most events happen after that.
And then the maximum time is the farthest out that the calendar will display, which is set to 2400 hours which would be midnight. And you can adjust that to what is best for your schedule. But we thought this would be pretty good for most people.
The business hours highlight certain hours in the day that are going to have the most activity for you. For us, we're setting them to 8 AM and ending at 4:30 PM. And you can change those.
DOW stands for Days of Week for the business days and it's set for 1 through 5 which is Monday through Friday. The day number start 0 is Sunday. You can change the first day. A lot of people like a Monday for the first day. So you can change that to the number 1. Right now, 0 means it's Sunday.
If you scroll down to slot duration defines how wide each slot is on the calendar for displaying the times. And right now, it's set to 30 minutes. If you've got a really detailed schedule, maybe you want to set that to 15 minutes. And then you can change where the labels are on there and maybe you – if you're more detailed and want to see it every 15 minutes, you can put the labels every 30 minutes.
Right now, we have a set – we see slots of 30 minutes and we're labeling every hour. The Data1 variable that we see next to events is where we insert the Jason data that we generate from the search in the tax table. And so, that's where that data goes.
Richard Carlton: So that's going to be repetitive data where the found set is 12 events or 50 events or 100 events. And so that's the found set and it's going to generate a block of Jason for each one, correct?
Calvin Mosiman: Right.
Richard Carlton: And it's one big string that we insert in here and then that basically gets handed off to the rest of the rendering of the calendar. And so then that's what caused it to work.
So I'm going to go ahead and jump real quick. We will come back here in a minute if we need to but I'm going to jump real quick to the actual calendar here. So you actually can see it rendering in FileMaker. So this is once again the month view and then the week view. And once again, these are the – starts at 6 AM. You could see it starts on Sunday and it goes to midnight. That's also 30-minute sections in here.
So once again, all highly customizable. The HTML that we were playing with just there was the part that kinds of drives the structure here but these individual items here are task records. So if I click on this item right here, this is the task record right here. It says New Task. That's really kind of a boring title. So I'm going to go ahead and click on here and give it the name of – we have rescue kitty so I'm going to say, "Washing Fluffy the Kitty." And the problem is, if you ever wash a cat, you need sorts of like armor to protect yourself from one pissed off pussycat.
I'm going to hit OK. Obviously, it changes it here and I've given myself amount of time and I can also move it around. Very cool technology. So moving it there actually sends the command back to FileMaker to update the record. Super cool technology.
We also have full support for time zones in here. What's interesting about this is we had to work the calendar out. So on the startup script, it behaves correctly. So I'm going to go and pop open the Script Workspace so we can see how it will behave on startup. And what we try to do is make sure that FM Starting Point was smart enough to handle browse site the calendar for a brand new installation of Starting Point where there are no users. If there are users, it's going to try to take some settings and apply it from that specific stuff.
So what happens is if you get down here a little bit, you'll see that it's going to try to do a search in this staff database for the current account name that you logged in. So as people start to use Starting Point, they're going to have a staff login that will match a staff record. Once again, we're over here to staff database over here.
As we can see, the staff is right there. And so what happens is, is that we actually save in the staff database a couple of handy things part of the calendar. One of the biggest ones is the idea of where the calendar is located. While this video is a pretty small video, it's a 720p video so it's kind of high definition mostly.
Most people have screens that are much larger than high definition. So what they'll do is they'll put Starting Point over here and they'll be looking at staff over here. Then they'll have the calendar like over here off screen somewhere or they'll have this over here and they'll have the database over here somewhere.
And so the idea is that when they pop the calendar, it goes back to where they last had it. And you could do that in FileMaker but you have to actually code it with a script. And we have to make sure that we save those preferences on the staff record for the user.
So this is a kind of a clever trick. So basically, if you log in as admin, if there's no match in staff records, so it's going to give you the default calendar location. If you log in as an individual person and it successfully identifies you in the staff database then it's going to remember where the calendar was saved on screen and it will relocate it to that position when you fire it up.
So the trick with the calendar was to make it work not only with 10 users or 100 users but also make it work with basically one user or no users because that's the way it comes when you download it from the FM Starting Point website. So it's kind of clever how all of this is set up.
Additional comments here is that once again, the code to make this all work frankly is pretty propeller head. It'd definitely rocket science type stuff. I'm going to go back into Preferences here. I'm going to hit the counter tab again. Once again, so basic settings here, the overview information here.
This is the code that actually renders the calendar. If you come over here and fiddle with this stuff, it's going to break the calendar. And so, if I come over here and I start fiddling with this and I fiddle with this and I change some of that and I fiddle with this and change some of that, I fiddle with this and I change some of that, and then I've definitely broke the calendar.
So if I come back over to dashboard and I say, "Show the calendar" it doesn't work. And you're like, "What did you do?" So it's totally broke.
We actually anticipated people playing with it not quite that belligerently but playing with it and trying to tweak it. And if you're up by one little character somewhere, the way programming works, it could go poorly for you. So you go back to Preferences. You're going to go over here to calendar. There is a restoration button right here.
And so, I can pop this up and show this to you. This looks like the same screen you had before but you're looking at a backup copy of all these blocks of code. And so to restore from them, you simply press the button right here and it restores from them and it says, "Are you sure you really want to restore these things?" You say OK. And so, it writes the settings back in and voila! Everything is working again.
So you can see that you can make changes there and if you make destructive changes that you can restore from the backup. So since this is an under the hood video, you've seen the under the hood parts, here are the other things to consider.
One, if you come over here and monkey with the backups then you could actually cause enough of a problem that you're going to have to go get a fresh copy at Starting Point. If you actually successfully make changes over here that you like, you should probably copy those changes and put them into your backup so you have them.
There's only one backup. We do this just kind of a stop gap. If they deliberately go out of their way to blow stuff up then there's only so much we could do. But the idea is that you can check the old backup code. You can save changes in there. You can restore from the backup code.
And then of course the other thing is you can download fresh code from the website, from the FullCalendar, LLC folks over here. Keep in mind that the code has been updated and enhanced. So what you'll want to do is if you download their code, you're going to look at the changes we've made specifically if you go on to view calendar. You can click in here. You can scroll down. You're going to start to see some FileMaker-y specific kind of code in here where certain items are activated.
So when you download the code from FullCalendar IO, it's not going to have the little upgrades that we've made to make this work with FileMaker. Like right here specifically, this is a URL protocol that allows the event to talk to the event in the task database. When you download this code, this would not be in here. You're basically hosed.
So you're going to have to look at our code and make the adjustments into the new upgraded version. We're going to upgrade the version periodically like every six months or a year or something like that. As long as it's working well, we're inclined to probably leave it alone.
I know that the folks here at this website, the FullCalendar website are constantly making tweaks and adjustments and changes. For the most part, we don't need those. So the FullCalendar IO current version is 3.8.2. I'm not sure how often they update the releases but clearly, that's the current release at this time. And we are in 2018.
Anyway, that gives you an idea now. Now Calvin, other comments about updating the code or changing it or monkeying with the code, et cetera?
Calvin Mosiman: Most of the changes that people are going to want to make are in that JSFunction fields. And making changes there is pretty easy. When you do any changes, sometimes the quotes don't come over exactly right. So I found typing a quote in the JSFunction setting like the time zone, which is in single quotes, when I type that in, it broke everything. So I actually had to copy and paste quotes from somewhere else. So just be careful when you touch that.
If anything else happens, you could always restore from that backup like Richard showed you.
Richard Carlton: So as you can see, this gives you a pretty good idea of the calendar. If you're checking out the videos in our pro video course, you're going to see that probably the old calendar videos are still in there. We're going to leave them in there for a while but until we get to the point where we really deprecate the old calendar and kind of remove it entirely.
For the time being, we're kind of hedging our bet clearly. I think it's great. We've had this calendar and put it into a number of our internal systems at RCC. The staff are all using this. They love it. So it's good for scheduling and knowing when there are meetings and scheduling training sessions or coaching sessions, all sorts of stuff. You can do some pretty elaborate things with it.
So that covers it. I want to say thanks to Calvin for doing a great job in building [0:17:20] [Phonetic] this new technology in FM Starting Point.
Calvin Mosiman: It's great to bring a really sharp looking calendar into the FileMaker platform, something that we can really use and it's easy to implement and start using every day.
Richard Carlton: And of course, if you need additional customizations or you want to work with maybe the other calendar and get some additional capabilities, you can always contact Calvin. He's part of our team and he can help you probably for some sort of inducement but he will help you and get you set up. As always, we offer those services.
So Richard Carlton, I'll catch you in the next video.

The Rampant Crime In My Community
These are from a local newspaper's Police Blotter section, a sort of collection of the lighter side of crime in our area. We had to laugh, and yet we both wished this was the only side of crime around here...
A _____ Blvd. resident complained that there were 10 teenagers hanging from tree branches near the playground and wanted them removed before the trees were damaged.
Suspicious people with a vehicle were reported on ____ Road. A man and a woman were in the vehicle taking videos of passing cars with a video recorder. They then removed items from the trunk and went into the park, the complainant sad. Police learned they were aspiring artists making a home video.
A ____Lane resident was suspicious of a man wearing a hard hat and walking around in the backyard with a ladder. Police reported that he was a Time Warner Cable repairman.
A _____ Drive resident complained that his son's ex-girlfriend took out a lot of library books under his daughter's name and was refusing to take them back.
A person reported missing from a facility on ____ Road was never missing but in a different bed.
A _____ Ct. resident reported an unknown man was on the side of the house. It was her neighbor who was inspecting his siding.
Four adults on bikes collided on _____ Road. Injuries to all were reported.
On _____ Drive, a resident reported someone took the hose from his pool and replaced it with another one that wasn't as long.

What We Found...
What fun we had at estate and yard sales yesterday... You can see some of the fun for yourselves here. The mirror was just $5 and someday I will paint it (the scroll-type stuff at the top makes it special, imo). Tom paid a bit more for the table than I would have...someday I will paint it, too, probably to match the mirror.
And we both loved this coffee table...loved it even more when Tom asked them if they'd take $7 instead of $10...and they said yes (it's old, not new). And true, it's very un-Craftsman-furniture-like. But we've found that what 'they say' is true: buy what you love and --somehow--it will all fit together. As with everything else, it, too, will get a coat of paint someday. But even for now, all these new-to-us things look sweet in our home.
And I bought this lampshade for just $3. I'd seen others like it in old magazines... I believe these were popular in the 1920's? 30's? It sits on a lamp which I've been meaning to--shock--repaint.
I try always to carry an expectation that God will lead us to sales with something which will make us gasp with delight. Do we always find something everywhere we go? No, of course not. But the spirit of expectation, itself, fills our days with smiles around our eyes... and it far outweighs living with the ol' spirit of nothing-good-ever-happens-to-me-and-God-doesn't-care-about-that-kind-of-stuff-anyway.

The Houses Inside Books
I love to come across descriptions of houses within books. Here are two samples from books I've read lately:
"The house was close to the ground, with a long porch across the front. There were old trunks on the porch, and a quilting frame, and a big globe of the world with Africa showing. From the inside of the house there was the sound of a typewriter...
"...She led them into the living room. It was much darker than the outside and full of old-fashioned furniture and things. There was a half-upholstered love seat with a dusty hammer and tacks and stuff on it; near the fireplace there was a weaving loom and Tommy bumped against a wheel with a clay bowl drying on it...
"Following the others, Nora looked into the kitchen and saw boxes of peaches on the floor. They smelled very ripe; and on the table there were empty jars, and a jar partly full of brown peach halves. It looked as if canning had been stopped quite a while ago for something more important...
"...She seated herself at an old typewriter on a round table that was nearly covered with books and papers. The lace curtains at the window were gray and the room smelled of dust and overripe peaches.
"There were books and things on all the chairs, but the explorers moved them politely and sat down." ....From The Enchanted Islands by Archie Binns
And the following reminds me of the houses we often walk through during estate sales. In fact, Tom and I may go to a couple estate sales today and who knows what adventures we will have?:
"When I was nine years old, my father discovered an old two-story stucco house in a small, gated community of stately homes once owned by the very rich...
"The house was my mother's dream made real. It had a master bedroom as large as our whole apartment on Islington Street, with a dressing room for her and another for my father. There were four smaller bedrooms upstairs and a playroom for my sister and me to keep ourselves amused in. I had a whole wall of bookshelves to fill with books. What more could a little girl want?
"The kitchen had a table big enough for us all to eat breakfast and watch my mother assemble the ingredients for the meals to come... But the best part of the house was the basement with the paneled recreation room, laundry room and fruit cellar filled with dilled pickles, tomatoes, apple butter and canned vegetables from our garden...
"I have lived in well over a dozen houses since I left Forty Birkhead Place, but I have never had another home. Home was huge family dinner parties in that noble dining room under the crystal chandelier. Home was a climbing rose on the side of the garage and a purple maple tree that grew taller each year. Home was the Chickering piano in the living room where I spent hours practicing... I sat down before that bay window on a yellow print couch every weekend waiting for my date to pick me up and open the door to romance.
"I can still feel the excitement that was always there for me in that white stucco house with the maroon-trimmed windows. I can still hear the swing music on the old Victrola. I can still see the little brick road that led to our driveway and hear our neighbor, Mary Kaplan, singing her scales in the house next door. It is all there and I relive it every time I close my eyes."

Here I Go Again...
My last post was controversial and well, I guess I'm on a roll. This one will be a tad controversial, too.
One of my favorite bloggers is Laura at Here and Now. She's such a sweetheart and I would love to have her for a neighbor. Awhile ago she wrote about an idea she'd read about in another blog--you can read her post here if you'd like.
In theory, it's a marvelous idea. What is the idea? You choose to read a book which a friend or relative loves and has perhaps been begging you to read for a long time. And by reading your friend's favorite book you'll be showing him/her you care enough to read something they consider important. And too, by reading what they love, you'll perhaps come to understand them better and be able to relate to them better in years ahead.
And really, that is a sweet idea. And since Laura is a compassionate person, I could totally understand where she's coming from.
But I have just one problem with that idea. Until I went online, most of my friends had no problem with reading books peppered with swearing and using God's name in vain. Books which contain sex outside of marriage, adultery between people married to others, and bodice-ripping-like details of well... now you have me blushing!
And well, even for the sake of deepening a friendship, I cannot read books like those.
I just can't. Not even for my best friend or for someone who needs a friend.
Call me whatever you wish (believe me, I already know some of the names you might be thinking right now), but if I didn't follow my convictions in this area, I couldn't live with myself afterward. I feel God has asked me to stay away from books like those and what He asks of me must be considered first. Always. When I plow right through my convictions, I always discover myself later in some troubled land.
And for me, that whole idea carries over into other areas, also. If I have a dear friend who 'needs' me to do something, anything, which shoots-off all sorts of red flags and lights inside my heart, well, I will have to say, "No, I'm sorry." (And knowing me, I'd be lightning-quick to suggest an alternative plan, being a retired subtle control-freak.)
I have not gained popularity living this way. Trust me. But I have gained a deep, lasting peace. And days when it feels like it should be illegal to carry this much joy.
But let me be quick to add-- I also believe that we are all in different places in our walk with God... and sometimes what He convicts one person of, He doesn't appear to convict another. Some people have wonderful ministries and yet they do what God won't let me get away with. I get that. And when I really got that--I stopped complaining about how unfair that appeared to be and I just left those things in God's hands. I realized Trust requires some unanswered questions. And besides, God knows exactly what He's doing--even when I don't have a clue as to why He's doing it. (Imagine that!)
And then I began being more observant about whether *I* was obeying God--or not. Because after all, I can do something about that. And God can help me understand things which concern myself--that's not too much of a stretch (or shouldn't be, anyway).
I've discovered Life is so much less complicated when I just plain ol' mind my own business... and do the best I can with God at my side, guiding me through the murky stuff. Upon this Earth, there will always be the murky stuff--and oh, how I need Him to walk me through it!

My Number One Pet Peeve
"Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil." Romans 14:16
I've been thinking about that verse lately. In fact, my blogroll got even shorter this week because of it.
I am very, very, very tired of bloggers who set themselves up as King/Queen of the World and tell us which Christian teachers they believe are "missing it." Which ones we should avoid or be suspicious of.
As though these bloggers have ever been in those teachers' shoes.
As though they've ever known what it takes to run a ministry which ministers to millions of people.
As though these bloggers have a perfect understanding of Everything, have experienced Everything in God there is to experience and have learned Everything about God which a person can possibly ever, ever learn.
As though these bloggers know what these teachers' have walked through with God at their side. As though these bloggers even have a clue as to what they would do with such a huge responsibility if given one, themselves.
As though these bloggers have listened to these teachers' more than just a few times and come to know, really know, their heart for themselves.
As though these bloggers have even an inkling of the kinds of evil forces which come against leaders every single day of their lives.
As though these bloggers ever pray with godly compassion for these teachers for any length of time.
As though these bloggers have even spent one minute with these teachers in-person.
As though these bloggers totally disregard the millions of souls saved and people set free from horrible years of bondages of depression, unforgiveness, self-hatred, and self-condemnation.
As though these bloggers believe they won't have to account for every single condemning word they've spoken against God's annointed people when they stand before Him in Heaven.
As though!
Ever wondered what my pet peeves are? Well, you've just discovered the first one at the top of the list.
And because of this verse, I can no longer keep it hidden. And I can also no longer have anything to do with blogs which justify chewing up teachers and spitting out the pieces (even in ignorance). It wounds the deepest part of my spirit--and well, if I'm limping around with a wounded spirit, I'm unable then to minister peace and Life to you.
And you are way too important for me to risk that.
"Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil." Romans 14:16

Searching With Joy & Anticipation
One early weekend morning, Tom and I went to a flea market where I found this book, The Housekeeper's Scrapbook, for $5. The copyright says 1911. I felt as though I'd discovered a buried treasure and, in a way, I believe I did. In only one place online have I seen this book for sale: it is being offered for $250.
And well, of course, that's nice. But it's not a treasure to me because it appears to be worth much more than what I paid. Rather, it's a treasure because of its drawings. Because of what it represents, namely, a piece of history leftover from the days when housekeeping was considered an art form.
Of course, I still believe keeping and decorating a house is an art form, but it's wonderful having something which I can hold in my hands to reaffirm that fact.
Other names of rooms not pictured here? The Breakfast Room. The Sick-Room. The Outdoor Sleeping Room. The Conservatory and Sun Parlor. Nooks, Corners and Den. And many others which bring pictures of the post-Victorian, early-Craftsman era to my dreamy-minded head.
And of course, as seen here, The Billiard and Ballroom. We all have one of those, right?
Sometimes we need to be reminded that the search for treasure can be exciting, that is, unless we turn it into a frenzied must-have-it-and-must-have-it-now all-consuming yearning. No earthly treasure is worth that. Only God, Himself, was meant to be searched for with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.
And He is the best treasure of them all.

Creativity = Saving Money
I love sharing ways to save money because it's a way of sharing hope... hope that having a nice home just might not be as impossible as "they say" (whoever "they" are). A hope that anyone can create certain things. Sometimes it just takes seeing the ideas for yourself, first.
Like yesterday... I 'matted' this Holly Hobbie card by just cutting-out squares from two sheets of cardstock (which I always keep on hand) and placing the card on top of the smaller square. At a glance, you can't tell it's not matted the 'right way.' But then, who's to say just which way is the right way anyway?
Here's another example of matting a card Debra-style:
And moving along... do you know how curtain-hanging hardware costs tons of money nowadays? Well, back in the years when we had cable tv, I saw this terrific idea--just use copper pipes made for your home's plumbing--you can buy them at hardware stores:
They are much, much cheaper and I've been able to cut them easily with one of those rectangular hand-held saws (whose name escapes me).I left this one its natural copper color, but you can spray-paint them, too. Also, you can use pvc pipe (I think it's called)--it's white and comes in larger sizes. I don't always add finials, but these I found cheaply.
And if your house didn't come with old-fashioned decorative touches, you can always add your own. Salvage yards are popular, plus there are flea markets and junk shops and Ebay. Above the mirror, I found this plaster-of-paris medallion thing at a flea market for $1. The colors were perfect, but I just touched-up the chips a little.
And earlier I shared with you how I'm now facing some of my books outward on their shelves... To me, it's an added way to show artwork. Here are a few more examples which you'll find around my house:
The main thing? Just have fun with decorating... don't rush it, be willing to wait for some big things while you find joy in making little things... and don't feel pressured by trying to keep up with anyone. Let your home reflect yourself--and then it will reflect that you had fun creating it.

Well, No Wonder!
Sometimes I just don't feel right inside... not as peaceful or contented in my heart's deeper places.
Or sometimes I feel royally overwhelmed.
And then it comes to me, "Well, no wonder!"
...It's probably because God told me if I didn't have the tv or radio playing all day, I'd most likely hear Him better. And for two days I turned down the noise (of all kinds) in my life... but then... I 'forgot' and kept them playing in room after room of my home and head.
... or maybe it happened when I procrastinated answering my email, paying bills, exercising or cleaning house when Grace stood there to help me, but I chose to do something else, instead... and then surprise! My day turned dark and stressful and overwhelming instead of peaceful, like before, in the midst of my work.
... or maybe I lost my peace because God asked me to not check my blog so often for comments, but I made excuses and plowed ahead anyway... or because He asked me to listen to my favorite teacher on tape (because there was something specific I needed to hear), but I kept saying, "Oh, I will! As soon I finish this and this and this and this," until the day ended in night (and I'd not really finished anything).
... or when God told me not to share my negative opinion about that person, yet I shared it anyway...
... or perhaps it's because I ignored my conscience-- when it told me to stop drinking caffeine (gives me headaches), but I drank it anyway... when it told me not to have second helpings, but I did... when I spent money after it asked me to wait (or I waited when the money would've been wisely-spent)... or when it asked that I not nag my husband, but I felt he deserved it and nagged him anyway.
Well, duh! How funny-sad when I expect to feel the peace of obedience when all day long I've been disobedient in ways which seem small (when they are not small at all). How wildly foolish when I follow the map inside my own head when it is God who knows the way... when it is God who is the Way.
An obedient heart is always a good way to get my peace back. That, and repentance.

World Trade Center
So there we were yesterday at our favorite time-travel-your-way-back-to-the-1940's theater, the one with 2nd-run movies--and with no idea what we were going to see. Highly unusual for us because I'm careful about what I watch (well, mostly) and I always check out this reviewer before I walk into any theater (okay, 95% of the time).
And well, we chose to buy tickets for World Trade Center. I'd not read one word about it, but Tom said he'd heard good things. We bought candy, looked, as always, at the old pre-1950 movie star photos, framed, and lining the long hallway, along with the green and white checked linoleum and pine walls, then went and sat down.
It wasn't a movie for everyone.
It wasn't a movie for families (imo).
But we were both very, very glad we saw it.
For a number of reasons.
I was going to list those reasons, but I'd rather you just watch the movie for yourself. Or not watch it. As I said, it's not for everyone. But for me, I'm thankful I didn't miss it.

Seeking Him
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13
For my first 25 Christian-like years, I was seeking a lot of things, but I wasn't seeking God. To know Him better.
Not really.
No, I was seeking to make more friends and to use my gifts and to lose myself in helping people. To earn gold stars from God, Himself, on some heavenly chart.
And I sought formulas which would make me feel better and to make that brick wall disappear--the one which kept me from only going so far, no further. People would say give this offering or fast that meal or witness to those people and read this many chapters of the Bible each day and poof! You will feel better all over. Guaranteed.
Well, I tried all that and there was no poof! I would try all those things and then drive home, sit on the couch with my cats and not feel better. There was just more stress and feeling overwhelmed and as though everyone else had figured out Life--everyone except for me.
But still I skipped around trying what other people were trying and trying to be a good girl, a helpful woman and someone everyone spoke well of... running while slinging good deeds everywhere like seeds which never land, until finally, I ended up in a sort of zombie-like, good-doer heap on the floor (so to speak).
And that's when God caught me. Usually that's the only way He can catch a person. When we become still.
And you might think God grabbed me by the neck and lectured me, but He didn't. Instead, He simply said, "You've done things your way for years--how about trying my way? You've been seeking things and people and position and heavenly brownie points... How about if, instead, you start seeking me? Just me?"
And since He had a point, because after all, my ways hadn't brought me peace... I gave up and gave in... to Him. Even the giving-in was His idea and I have learned that His ideas are always best. My ideas are nearly always defective and somewhere in their design a major flaw will eventually pop up and collapse the whole project. But His ways are perfect. My ways are a big waste of time.
And in seeking to know God I have come to know peace. And joy. And love. Because He is all those things. Only better.
But I had to pretty much start all over. The foundation had to be rebuilt (I'd been building it all crooked. It had always been doomed to topple someday.). I had to come as a child, even though for years I'd believed I was so darn grown-up.
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
It took searching with my whole heart... hundreds of hours over years and years just sitting with Him. And reading the Bible. And taking walks with Him. And hearing good teaching. And obeying Him, even if He asked that I drop everything and just sit still, with Him, for ten minutes (which is like stopping dead still in a race and watching all your friends zoom past you--and not understanding how this is a good thing). Even if He asked me other things which made no sense-- until later. Until after I did what He asked me to do. And seeking to know what He likes and does not like.
But mostly it took seeking Him--who He is. And still, years and years later it takes seeking Him. There is always more of Him to know. There always will be.
And where once there was racing around in insecure, working-for-my-gold-stars circles (then collapsing in a heap), there is now peace. And Grace. And this Friend beside me no matter where I am. And mornings when I can't wait to get out of bed.
All because of Him.
My life became immeasurably better when I stopped trying to arrange God into my schedule, and instead, began arranging my life to fit into God's schedule.

Autumn's Arrival
Happy Autumn!
To me, Autumn Days always feel like celebratory days... and my home is called Autumn Cottage for a reason. I'm already anticipating the colors and scents and slant of light which Autumn will bring this time around.
I just may wash the windows so to see it all better.
Have you named your home yet? If so, what is its name?

Back By Popular Demand
Many of you, (ok, a handful), wrote and said you loved seeing the houses in my town.... so..... here are some leftover pictures from Tuesday. Not wanting to overwhelm anyone, I didn't post all of them. Now you can imagine why I go to so many estate sales--I go simply to wander up and down the stairs of these kinds of houses and dream what it must have been like to have lived there for so many decades.
There are literally thousands of houses like these (to the left) back here in our state and in neighboring ones. It must have been a very popular style for families around the 1910's and 20's.
Oh, and see this tan house above? It's currently for sale for $89,900... in the lovely old neighborhood next to mine, the one where I love to walk nearly every day. It's wonderful living in a place where real estate is still sane (though I'll admit our taxes are beyond ridiculous). But still....

Making What You Want
Our upstairs 'tower room' does not have a real closet. No, instead, it has a dark cave. A loooong, black cubby space that you can crawl into and hide boxes--boxes of stuff which you never look at. Boxes which mice could chew up into dust and you'd probably never even notice.
And well, our tower room is a guest room and a guest room is no good if it has no closet. So I made one. And if you were trying with all your might to figure out what in the world this is a picture of, well, now you know. It's our guest room closet and I made it out of an old pot rack which once hung, painted black, in our kitchen. But I painted it pink, and too, I hung a gold double-hook hanger just below it. Clothes can be hung from all these hooks by hangers or just by their necks. (And as I iron, I hang our clothes there, too, before putting them away.)
And voila! Our guest room now has a closet.
Long ago I learned that instead of just complaining about what I don't have, I should, instead, try to make it.
If I need a table, I can look around our house and shed and find something with which to make one. In fact, last week I lined up two tv trays then topped them with a table top I found in our shed. After covering it all with a damask tablecloth, I think it looks nice.
If I want to read books which our city library long ago judged as obsolete and then discarded, I should search in junk shops, book shops and thrift shops for those old books. (And now searching is extremely easier since I'm online.)
If I want a friend, I should go out and find one. Or better--go out and be one.
And on and on....
But the very, very worst thing I can do is to, instead, just mope around at home, murmuring and whining about not having what I need. God is always there to help me find what I need--but I can only hear Him when my dreadful complaining isn't drowning out His helpful voice.

Of Tower Rooms, Lessons & Favorite Songs
Well, this is going to be one big, disjointed jumble, I think...
Remember our upstairs guest/music/aerobics/craft/ironing/office room? Just today I came up with a better name for it (of course, anything is better than that long, rambling name!). It's now called The Tower Room. I realized while standing up there with all the light coming through the seven windows and the trees across the way and rooftops for as far as the eye can see, well, I feel as though I am in a tower. A nice one.
I'm trying to get better about replying to your comments. Maybe you've noticed that if I do reply to them, it takes me 2 or 3 days, which is well, what I call bad form. Maybe if I didn't wait till they all pile up, I could answer them sooner(!)
I've been remembering lately how I need to expect a lot from God, but not a lot from other people. I need to let people be who they are, especially if I want them to let me be who I am. (That sowing and reaping thing again.)Though yes, there's also a time for confrontation... just as there's also a time for simple, believing prayer when a change is desired. It's the knowing the right time for each that matters. Years ago my whole life became more peaceful when I just accepted that everyone in my life is the way they are. Period. And only God can change them, if He wants and if they want. Period. What freedom one feels when one stops playing Holy Ghost Junior! Trust me.
And along those lines, the verse, "Don't cast your pearls before swine," has been returning to me. Not that anyone in my life is a pig, but there are two people with whom I cannot share the things I love best. Almost invariably, they will stomp upon and crush those things I hold dear and I will be upset and hurt and will have to spend days shaking the whole thing off and hearing God say (albeit kindly), "I've told you not to do that, like, a million times."
Sigh. But at least there are only two people with whom I feel that way. If it was 20 or 200 I'd be concerned that I had become overly sensitive and wearing my feelings on my sleeve. And well, that is a horrible way to live--always getting your feelings hurt. Trust me-- I know about that one, too. But having learned down through the years to follow Grace around, I'm learning to go only where she goes, for when I do, Grace is always there to hand me, quickly, anything I need to not only survive, but survive with joy.
God's been reminding me that just because He has people living by a certain schedule it does not mean He wants me to live by the same schedule. He has a custom-made schedule made just for me--all that remains is for me to find it and follow it. And well, I know that. But sometimes I forget.
This is my 777th post. I think that's kind of neat.
I currently have two favorite songs which they play on Reach FM (my current favorite radio station). One of the songs is called Happy, by Ayiesha Woods. To listen to a little part of it go here and scroll down until you see the word Happy in the sampler. Considering how old and decrepit some of you in your 20's think I am (heh), you may be shocked that I like this kind of music. Actually, this is both Tom's and my favorite song--we are both young at heart, I guess.
My other favorite song is by Mat Kearney and is called Nothing Left to Lose. Go here and scroll down till you see Nothing Left to Lose in the sampler box. You will be sorry it's not longer (well, maybe, depending upon what kind of music you like). I love, love, love this song.
P.S. Oh wow! I just now noticed that Blogger put back the little pencil thing, the one that we can click on and be taken instantly to our post so to make changes. My, I hadn't seen that thing in over a year, I believe... I'd nearly forgotten what it symbolized!
"The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our
dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." Martha Washington

More of My Town...
...for your viewing pleasure... And yet, when I came home this morning after taking these pictures--after reveling in the cool breezes and autumnal scents and the sun and morning shadows and these huge old houses on these shady tree-lined streets where I heard happy voices on nearly every block and smelled coffee and bacon--I looked at these pictures and sighed. They, in no way, capture the wonder of it all. So please, as you click upon these for a closer peek, try to imagine them being 100 times grander than they appear.

carpdudesteve replied to shaunsheep's topic in UK Venues and Where to FishHi mate welcome to the forum.I've only fished it 3 times and have caught on zigs each time.The lake is really deep in places(see the map on the website),had no luck on the deck so tried zigs and caught.On my first two visits it was quite cold but sunny and noticed lots of carp sunbathing on top in the middle of the lake(it's long and narrow).It's a nice mature lake with lots of carp to go at.My last visit was in august 2010 looks gorgeous,lily pads galore and plenty of weed at the shallow end.Lance and Michelle are the owners and are really helpful.Good luck on your session and let us know the results mate.
spod rod/reel fitting
carpdudesteve posted a topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipmenthi to everyone on here(only my second post).I have just bought a new chub outkast plus spod rod and a second hand daiwa opus plus 5000 reel to go with it.problem is the reel doesn't fit snugly in the reel seat and moves about.why would this be? will I have to buy a different reel? any advice welcome,thanks.
spod rod/reel fitting
carpdudesteve replied to carpdudesteve's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and EquipmentThanks for the reply mate.I bought the reel from a guy on ebay who had been using it for spodding and as I'm new to spodding wasn't sure what size i'd need.I've measured it against my shimano 6010's which fit perfectly,and the arm that fits into the reel seat is slightly longer and wider(the spool is a lot bigger than my shimano and has quick retrieve,so should be ok for spodding).being quite handy and not paying much for the reel i've just made it fit by cutting a tiny bit off and filing down.if this doesn't work and I take to spodding,I'll have to get another I suppose(any recommendations ?).thanks again for the reply,gonner try out my new spomb tomorrow.
Anyone fished Stubbs Hall recently?
carpdudesteve replied to howsey16's topic in UK Venues and Where to FishHi,this is also my first post.I wondered if anyone on here fished this place.Last year I fished here quite a lot,blanked a few times but had some good days too,namely 16 carp in a day session last autumn and 11 the week after using peanuts over a bed of prepared seeds.Now for the worst part,the place is an absolute disgrace....toilets you wouldn't dare go in,most of the pegs have collapsed into the water,uneven road around the lake(lost my exhaust early this year) overcrowded,loud music,drunken behaviour,motorbike noise from nearby fields,weed smoking and fires....need I go on.do yourself a favour mate and find somewhere else to fish.also heard rumours that some european chaps had been removing loads of carp for the dinner table,(used to be a runs water by all accounts,not any more)

Yay Summer! It's finally here! Anyone who lives in the midwest knows what I'm talking about. I even heard that we got a few snow flurries last week end further up north. Sheesh! I can't wait to start barbecuing and making all of my favorite summer picnic foods. With Memorial Day weekend already upon us, what better way to kick off summer than with some Sweet Potato Fries. Speaking of Memorial Day, we would like to thank all veterans for their service to our country (including my dad!) and for all the sacrifices they have made to keep us safe! Thank you!
Savory Sweet Potato Fries
We all love fries, but sometimes allergies can get in the way of enjoying this side dish. Fortunately for you, we've got a recipe for Sweet Potato Fries that will proudly rival anything you've ever had before. It's a perfect fit with some grilled hamburgers, or steak. And it's super easy:
3 medium or large raw sweet potatoes
3 tbsp oil (olive, sunflower, or whatever your preference)
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp garlic powder
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into long strips.
Mix spices together. Drizzle oil over fries and toss with spices until the fries are evenly coated.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway. The fries should be slightly crispy, but fully cooked. Enjoy!

A mysterious virus wipes away nine tenths of the earth's population and a monster infestation ensues. Vampires take advantage of humanity's decline and usurp them as the dominant species, demoting most survivors to "livestock" status. Most stragglers are under 14 years old and aren't exactly equipped to challenge their new blood-sucking overlords. Fun times, huh?
Read More: See last year's impressions of Black Bullet for our take on its post-apocalyptic setting for comparison
Seraph of the End's opener is a powerful one that captures the essence of post-apocalyptic works like lightning in a bottle. There's a dire atmosphere that puts the likes of Black Bullet to shame. There's a protagonist with a lofty goal in Yuichiro Hyakuya, whose conviction is so infectious you forget how absurd it is in actuality.
When a show gets you caring about characters that haven't had time to be anything more than cardboard cutouts so quickly and has you watching high-stakes scenarios on the edge of your seat, you know the producers did something right. Attack on Titan and Rolling Girls were solid indicators, but it's clear now that the relatively young Wit Studio has a mastery of the opening episode that should be downright envied.
...And now that I've praised the show's pilot to high heaven, I'm sure glad I waited until the second episode before writing about this one because it's time to play killjoy for a bit. I won't deny Seraph of the End's potential to pull a Tokyo Ghoul and explode in popularity thanks to a successful animated series, but I will say the follow-up knocked its level of promise down a few pegs.
The brooding and brutal beginning is followed up with the introduction of shounen battle elements galore that are all a bit too par for the course. The vampire oppression doesn't feel nearly as extreme, traditional school elements are introduced to provide spoonfuls of light-hearted comedy, an atmosphere of peace opposes the initial dread, and Hyakuya looks to fight against the system by gaining power and joining the elite. It all comes off as very bread and butter stuff now.
Hyakuya sets himself apart a bit from similar shounen protagonists with his surprising level of competence early on (his lack of a cursed weapon to combat vampires being his downfall rather than an identifiable weakness), a dialogue-devouring obsession with vengeance unbecoming of the prototypical "hero", and a loner attitude rather that impedes on his ability to form a group of friends to be used in later battles (or "nakama" if you will). Problem is, all of these differences are superficial, particularly in their execution, and the show already looks poised to remove them.

On the flip side, the battle scenes have been well-produced thus far and the premise is captivating enough. As far as action shows go, Seraph of the End ticks many checkboxes regardless. It will be interesting to watch how the show unfolds and whether it evolves down the stretch by introducing deeper elements because I'm still very much on the fence for now.

(FoxNews) When word broke that the U.S. ambassador to Panama quit, one MSNBC producer jumped to connect the dots to President Trump's alleged profanity in a closed-door meeting.
The problem was, Mary Emily O'Hara got out over her skis and was forced to delete an erroneous tweet that blamed Trump's comments for John Feeley resignation. The diplomat had given his notice well before Trump allegedly branded certain impoverished countries "s—holes."
"BREAKING: NBC confirms with the State Department that the U.S. Ambassador to Panama, John Feeley, has resigned because he can no longer feels he can comfortably serve under @realDonaldTrump. Feeley is the first U.S. diplomat to resign over the president's comments," O'Hara initially wrote.

chop, chop, chop
I got my hair cut on Halloween and that lady was SCISSOR HAPPY!
I'll show you a picture later...you'll see.
Scissor happy.
I might start liking it in a month or so.
One of the greatest assets to our home is our neighbors. We have the best neighbors. We have a great relationship with lots of people in our neighborhood, and we've never had this before. It's fantastic.
Well, one of my fun and crazy neighbors wanted to do something nice for us after we had the baby. She kept offering to clean my house, or to make us a meal. So finally I told her she could.
She comes to my house with a box full of who-knows-what, kicks us out in the back yard for about twenty minutes, and we come back inside to find this...wow.
