England fans will never forget Diego Maradona's infamous 'Hand of God' goal in the 1986 World Cup.
But his tactics may have rubbed off on an elephant representing Argentina in a four-legged football match.
When things got tough, it simply scooped up the ball and walked off with it in its trunk.
Just like Maradona in Mexico, the post-match press conference could probably best be paraphrased as 'a little with the head of the elephant – and a little with the trunk of God.'
The animals were taking part in the friendly for students at a school in Ayutthaya province, Thailand.
Those representing World Cup host-nation Brazil showed their ability to win over the crowd.
However, the real England team will be hoping for more contact with the ball than their weighty counterparts – or 48 years of hurt will continue.
France may be seeking redemption after an embarrassing performance at the 2010 World Cup.
But they had better fare better than their tusked counterparts, who took a rest on the pitch when it all got a little too much.

Just four weeks into the new year and 2019 already has the hallmarks of another busy 12 months ahead – if events in recent weeks are any indication. The Government set the agenda in renewable energy in the last fortnight – in Samoa's strive to become 100 per cent reliant on clean energy 2025 – by commissioning multimillion tala hydro plants on Upolu and Savai'i.
The issue of the minimum wage is back on the agenda. While most people agree that $2.30 an hour is not enough, the Government says the decision to increase is totally dependent on the private sector and whether they can afford it. What do you think? And if there were an increase, why? Soli Wilson asked in today's Street Talk and this is what people said:
Think a minute...Do you know the secret to a successful business? Even if you do not own your own business, these principles work in both your professional and personal life. Following these priorities will guide you to success in this business called life.
Talofa Samoa! In the first week of last year, I was looking for one of METI 'champions': someone, who had been following the whole foods, plant based (WFPB) diet that METI promotes and who had been successful in reversing his diabetes condition, which had been crippling him for years.
Imagine this. It's been six months since your family's case had been given a date by the Land and Titles Court.
Lopau Mapuinuumanaia remembers the day his village in southeastern Samoa was torn apart. On 29 September 2009, the 59-year- old farmer was up early planting banana and taro seedlings when he felt the earth shake violently.

You can install it by going to:
Start >All Programs > HP Software >HP Unified Functional Testing> Tools > Additional Installation Requirements.
Click Run.
You can also download directly from Microsoft:
Answer by Rich Text · Jul 13, 2016 at 01:25 PM
Update: Microsoft has removed the original download link that UFT's installer used to download the script debugger utility. Here is the KB from HPE along with some suggested workarounds-
During QuickTest Professional (QTP) or Unified Functional Testing (UFT) installation If the option to download and install Microsoft Script Debugger has been selected, the following error message may be displayed:
"Failed to download and install Microsoft Script Debugger: http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/7/d/77d8df056fbc4718a319 be14317a6811/scd10en.exe. Please check log file for more information."
The link mentioned on popup warning/error, is no longer available. Such URL is from Microsoft download site (used to retrive the Microsoft Script Debugg er).
Important: HPE is actively working with Microsoft on this matter.
For the time being, when error appears, click "Ok" to finish installation/configuration. To avoid being affected entirely by lack of such component, use either of below:
Via "Addin Extensibility and Web 2.0 Toolkits" . This component contains all the required files for UFT debugging functionalities, including files t hat replace the Microsoft Script Debugger. This installation component can be accessed from the HP Unified Functional Testing setup file. To install the "Addin Extensibility and Web 2.0 Toolkits", do the following:
Run the HP Unified Functional Testing setup.exe file.
Click "Addin Extensibility and Web 2.0 Toolkits" link in the UFT installation dialog
Click the "Extensibility Accelerator for HP Functional Testing (includes HP UFT Web Addin Extensibility SDK)" link in the popup web page. A setup dialog box appears.
Follow the instructions in the setup dialog to complete the installation of the Extensibility Accelerator for HP Functional Testing.
Via manual registration components from other 3rd party software. For more information, follow steps from Document ID KM02377621 How to update or upgrade Process Debugger Manager?
Answer by Rich Text · Jul 13, 2016 at 01:42 PM
Here's the excerpt of the second KB regarding how to updgrade the Process Debugger Manager:
When working with QuickTest Professional (QTP) or Unified Functional Testing (UFT), the debugging features require updating on Windows end, since HPE's tool utilize 3rd party components to accomplish such debugging. Since multiple Microsoft products offer this debugging feature based on the Microsoft Process Debugger Manager components, how can it be updated/upgraded?
1.Locate all versions of PDM.dll present in machine to analyze: (See attachment image for details and locations) click here for .pdf
2.Select another version of PDM.dll file, preferably not version 6.x Note: check above chart to locate highest version available on current machine. If next/other version available is 6.x, it is suggested to install either of above suggested products, to have a higher version avaialble, for example most common higher version available on machines are ones from Inte rnet Explorer
Register (remember using full admin rights) both PDM.dll and msdbg2.dll files from same place, for example:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\pdm.dll" regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\msdbg2.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\msdbg2.dll"
Answer by Rich Text · Jul 13, 2016 at 01:52 PM
The above applies to the Script Debugger that is used for UFT GUI tests. GUI tests in UFT use VBScript, which is what the debugger supplied by Microsoft is used for. API testing uses C#, so the Script Debugger doesn't apply to API tests.
Answer by Rich Text · Aug 18, 2016 at 03:15 PM
Update: Some people are having a tough time figuring out a way to get the necessary dll files. To make it easier, you can try the following. I have extracted the pdm.dll and msdbg2.dll files from a copy of Microsoft Office and am attaching them below as .zip files. I'm creating two separate .zip files in the event you only need one or the other.
The version of this pdm.dll file is 14.0.23107.0
The version of the msdbg2.dll file is 14.0.23107.0
This is being offered as an "as-is" solution that might help simplify the process if you cannot locate the file using the method described in HPE's knowledgebase article.
Follow the steps below. Depending on whether you have a 64 bit OS or 32 bit OS will determine where you copy the files and how you register it. I will include steps for both versions:
32 Bit OS:
A. Download the pdm.dll.zip and msdbg2.dll files from the attachments, and extract them to the following location:
C:\WINDOWS\system32 (if there is an older file already there, replace it)
B. Click on the Start menu and find the Command application. Right-click on the Command program shortcut and choose 'Run as administrator'.
C. In the Command window, type the following commands. Be sure to hit the Enter key after each line:
regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\pdm.dll
regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\msdbg2.dll
D. Verify that you both dll's were registered successfully. Launch UFT and test.
64 Bit OS:
A. Download the pdm.dll.zip and msdbg2.dll files from the attachments, and extract them to the following location:
C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 (if there is an older file already there, replace it)
B. Click on the Start menu and find the Command application. Right-click on the Command program shortcut and choose 'Run as administrator'.
C. In the Command window, type the following commands. Be sure to hit the Enter key after each line:
regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\pdm.dll
regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\msdbg2.dll
D. Verify that you both dll's were registered successfully. Launch UFT and test.

TGIF to all GNS IS MY HAPPINESS readers!!!!!!!! Fridays just make me feel really good! Don't they make you feel good as well??? A friend of mine once asked me if TGIF feels the same as it used to before the baby came along. My answer to that???? TGIF is even better, it means daddy is home for the weekend!!!!!! Too bad daddy came home with fever :(
This week has been a long one for me. I worked on many projects, and I would love to share one of them with you. I can't really call it a project, however, more of a hobby. One of my favorite hobbies that is, painting. I love painting. It makes me feel really good and I feel more productive when I do so. It all started when furniture shopping with my husband about two, three years ago. I walked into Maison Corbeil and noticed the artwork on the walls. I stared at them for a while and thought to myself : "I can do this". And, that is what i did. I picked up some canvases, brushes and paint and did what came to mind. Everytime I finished a piece, I felt a sense of satisfaction! Creating your own artwork is alot less expensive then buying it! But, above all, the feeling you get putting up your own artwork on your wall is priceless!
Here are some of my older pieces...
My newer pieces are quite different. I call them: Injection of color. I cannot wait to put them up!
I am not saying I am talented, but i am passionate about it!
Enjoy the weekend!!!! Thanks for reading xoxo

LUMBY - Lumby residents don't seem to be getting the message when it comes to drunk driving, says the village's top cop.
Cpl. Henry Proce with the Lumby RCMP detachment says officers are arresting local residents in very high numbers for impaired driving.
In the last three weeks, at least six drivers were charged with the offence, Proce said in a media release.
One troubling example is that of a man who was caught behind the wheel while impaired for the second time, Proce said.
"This latter driver simply isn't getting it, he had already been arrested for drunk driving back in September and that charge is still before the courts," Proce said.
Proce said the man was prohibited from driving due to a lengthy driving record anyway.
"It is these sorts of individuals that present such a hazard to themselves and innocent motorists on B.C. highways," Proce said.

I've been having some interesting dreams lately. I won't go into great detail, but many of them involve feeling myself be pulled (literally) over to "the dark side"--- while fighting that "pull" every step of the way. Perhaps I've been watching too much George Lucas lately...?
More likely, I think it's because I've been paying more attention to the news lately... and while there are some good things happening out there, there seems to be a heavier focus on the negative.
I'm not blaming the people who do the news. At least, not most of them. I know people who do the news and I know 90% of them would rather not be focusing on negative stories.
I'll focus on the media another time (not surprisingly, it's a delicate subject). But I want to get back to the main point of this post.
Don't allow others write your story for you.
It's easy to let yourself become consumed by negativity when you see it all around you. The problems being reported in the news seem monstrously large--- perhaps even insurmountable. And that negativity can be contagious. How many stories have we all seen lately concerning people who are bitter and filled with anger?
An extreme example--- the case of George Sodini, the man who killed three innocent victims in a gym in Pennsylvania before turning the gun on himself. If you read through the excerpts from his blog you can see just how much he allowed rage over his life to consume him.
One of the things that struck me as I was reading that blog was this excerpt, written one day before the incident:
It makes me wonder what would have happened if he had run into more "positive and upbeat" people that day. So many people fail to realize how a simple smile or kind word can make a huge difference to someone who is in pain. Just like they fail to realize how flipping someone off in traffic or swearing at someone can ruin a person's day... or week... or month.
Unfortunately I talked to my neighbor today, who is very positive and upbeat. I need to remain focused and absorbed COMPLETELY. Last time I tried this, in January, I chickened out. Lets see how this new approach works.
Don't let negativity consume you.
So many people out there try to tell you how you should be feeling. Or tell you there's no way you will ever be able to change things... so you might as well just give up.
But there ARE things you can do. Simple things.
It's amazing how something as simple as taking a split-second to smile at a stranger... or asking someone behind a counter "how's it going?".... can make a difference. I'm serious. I'm still amazed at how many strangers seem surprised when I ask them how their day is going.
If you have just a little bit more time... find a cause to support. Volunteer for 1-2 hours a week with an organization that helps people. It not only helps put you in a better mood, it also gives a fresh perspective on what REAL problems are.
If enough of us do just a little to promote some positivity... who knows what the cumulative result will be? Heaven knows it couldn't hurt. ;)

Friends of Beliefnet Community Fund
Friends of Beliefnet Community Fund
The Beliefnet community has become like a family to many of us, creating friendship and good will, in a diverse, multi-faith phenomenon that continues to grow. In these difficult economic times, we have watched as members of our community have suffered unemployment, illness and other difficulties.
Now, we have a way to help each other.
It's called the Friends of Beliefnet Community Fund, and it is a community-based, donation financed solution to the tough times we find ourselves in. It works because we as a community care. Beliefnet members make donations through PayPal or regular mail, and based on the simple rules outlined below, other members can seek assistance.
Due to the generosity of our community, we have already been able to help several fellow Beliefnet members in their time of need. The community gives on a per-need basis. The fund functions as a channel through which members can help each other, more than as a standing source of funds.
So, that said, here are the Rules and the FAQs:
Who can donate?
Anyone can donate via PayPal or regular mail. Simply click the button above, or logon to PayPal and send a payment to the funds email address email@example.com. If you prefer to mail a check, contact the administrator by email for the mailing address.
Who is handling the money?
Right now, member AmaraS, a volunteer, is functioning as the Administrator of the fund. As the fund grows, a committee will be established to help adminster the fund. Quarterly updates on the state of the fund, money in and out, etc, will be reported via the web page.
What is Beliefnet's Role in this?
Nothing, other than the fact that we are a community because of them, and they will hopefully be tolerant of our donation requests on the boards and web space requests as we get rolling.
How can someone help who has no money to contribute?
Do you know a list of charitable organizations in your region? We would like to offer as many links to other methods of assistance as possible. Be creative, Im sure that you can think of other ways to help.
Who is benefiting?
The community. Here come the Rules:

A former senior executive with the National Security Agency has been indicted on 10 felony charges related to the alleged leaking of classified information to a national newspaper in 2006 and 2007, the Justice Department announced Thursday morning.
Thomas A. Drake, 52, headed an office in the NSA's signals intelligence and engineering directorates at Fort Meade between 2001 and 2005, U.S. officials said. The indictment alleges that Drake exchanged hundreds of e-mails with a reporter for a national newspaper and served as a source for its articles about Bush administration intelligence policies and agency management failures between February 2006 and November 2007, U.S. officials said.
According to the indictment, Drake had access to highly classified documents and information, and he provided some of that information to the reporter.
The indictment does not name the reporter, but The Washington Post has learned that she was Siobhan Gorman, a prize-winning intelligence correspondent for the Baltimore Sun at the time and subsequently at the Wall Street Journal. Gorman published a string of articles that spotlighted poor management of NSA facilities and its failure to set priorities.
Justin Elliott at TPM:
The indictment alleges that NSA senior executive Thomas Drake was connected to the reporter via a mutual friend who was a congressional staffer. Through accounts on the private email communication service Hushmail, Drake and the reporter allegedly exchanged hundreds of emails. He allegedly scanned and emailed "electronic copies of classified and unclassified documents to the reporter."
The indictment alleges that the reporter agreed to refer to Drake as a "senior intelligence official" and that the articles were published between roughly Feb. 27, 2006, and Nov. 28, 2007.
Gorman covered the NSA, which focuses on communications intelligence and is based in Fort Meade, Maryland, during that period. On Feb. 26, 2006, she penned a piece headlined "Computer ills hinder NSA." It began:
"WASHINGTON — Two technology programs at the heart of the National Security Agency's drive to combat 21st-century threats are stumbling badly, hampering the agency's ability to fight terrorism and other emerging threats, current and former government officials say."
And continued: "A former NSA employee put it more bluntly, as he explained why he was speaking to a reporter for the first time, though on the condition of anonymity: 'What I am fearful of is: Because of all this, we will have a 9/11 Part II.'
So a new source at NSA speaking to a reporter for an article published at the end of February 2006 is a match. The other bookend is November 2007, when Gorman wrote "Targeting Internet terror," building on an earlier Sun exclusive about a classified NSA cyber-security initiative. Shortly thereafter, Gorman moved to the Wall Street Journal—where she continues to do absolutely groundbreaking national security reporting. I note that in both cases, the stories involve classified information about NSA activities, but not sensitive and compartmentalized interception programs, which Drake would have been unlikely to have access to. The stories that match the indictment timeline, in other words, are also stories on which Drake makes sense as a source. No doubt we'll find out for certain soon enough.
Update: I see that Scott Shane at the New York Times came to the same conclusion I did; his article pretty much takes for granted that the articles referenced are from Gorman's stint at the Sun.
Update II: And apparently Fox and The Washington Post have both confirmed it's Gorman.
How did that happen? For starters, cyberspace is not completely anonymous. Even if Hushmail's encryption system were foolproof, webmail systems usually record the IP addresses of their users, which would allow investigators to confirm that the NSA official was using the service — and perhaps to associate the timing of the emails to the reporter's stories, or even her own Hushmail use. (I'm assuming the leaker used his home or, if he's an idiot, his work computer; but even if he went to a cybercafe or wifi-enabled hotel lobby, it would still be possible to trace him with a bit of work.)
Armed with that information, it wouldn't be hard to obtain an order forcing disclosure of the content of the official's emails, since leaking classified information is a crime. Legally, that order would go through Canadian officials and courts, but in the end it would be served on Hushmail and honored. As Hushmail has acknowledged, it has the ability to decrypt mail sent to its server when it receives a valid court order.
I think we'll see more cases like this. In my experience, most leakers, even of highly classified material, are motivated by surprisingly petty interests – things like spite, flattery, and a desire to win intramural debates by other means. It's not that the rewards of leaking are so great; it's that the downside risk seems so small. For the same reason, leakers often don't use world-class tradecraft to protect themselves; they are protected largely by the perception, inside government and out, that leakers cannot be caught.
But that's no longer true. We leave a much longer transactional trail in cyberspace than Deep Throat ever did. And mainstream media is losing the financial and publicity clout it once used to protect leakers and reporters from investigation. Brought by the Obama administration to punish leaks that hurt NSA in the last administration, this case could mark the end of an era — one that only really began in 1971, with the publication of the Pentagon Papers.
Kudos to the DoJ for pursuing the leaker. Having the Obama administration press this case makes it even stronger, I believe. It eliminates any hint of retribution and puts it firmly in the frame of violating our national security. If Drake is guilty, he had other options than leaking to the Times if he disagreed with the operations at the NSA. He could have gone to the White House, or failing that, to the leadership of the intelligence committees in Congress, which certainly would have provided him with an audience. Instead, the leaker (whoever he is) kneecapped our ability to track terrorists and politicized national security unnecessarily.
WHERE ARE THOSE LONG-FORGOTTEN TALKING POINTS WHEN WE NEED THEM? There was a time when something like this, especially from The Captain, would set me off or turn me gray:
Oddly, though, the same people who expressed outrage over the exposure of Valerie Plame as a CIA analyst never got terribly exercised over these breaches of national security (and to be fair, the same holds true in reverse).
Ahhh! There has never been evidence that Richard Armitage, Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, Ari Fleischer or anyone else thought that they were revealing a Big Secret when they mentioned that Joe Wilson had been picked by his wife to check out a story from Niger. Nor is there evidence that Bob Novak thought it was particularly consequential when he published it. Nor is there evidence that it was in fact consequential, other than as a political club for beating Republicans.
But it is quite clear (at least, from my seat here on the right) that some of the Times outings were unhelpful.
John Hinderaker at Powerline:
Unfortunately, Drake's leaks don't appear to be the ones that threatened national security. Rather, they put NSA's bureaucracy in an unflattering light:
Gorman's coverage of NSA often placed an unflattering focus on NSA administrators. An August 2006 story quoted intelligence officials as showing that the NSA eavesdropping facilities in Fort Meade were at risk of paralysis because of electrical overload and potential failure of the power supply.
We're not the only ones who wonder why this should be the Justice Department's priority:
By comparison, some federal officials have questioned privately why the New York Times' revelation about domestic wiretapping that bypassed a special surveillance court has not led to any leak prosecutions.
In what must be one more disappointment for Obama supporters, the administration has promised to be "more aggressive" than the Bush administration about going after leakers. Even if, as it appears here, they are the wrong ones.
UPDATE: Via Sullivan, Glenn Greenwald

More images of the fastback styled MG6 have appeared on Chinese websites ahead of the unveiling of the initial Concept model at Auto Shanghai next week. The new car, which shares its underpinnngs and powertrain with the Roewe 550, is conventionally styled with a sloping rear end at odds with current automotive fashion.
SAIC Design's British styling team, which was until recently based in Leamington Spa, have conceived a sporting car which seems, in the metal, to lack some of the aggression promised by the concept renderings which emerged earlier this month.
Along with the unveiling of the MG and Roewe concepts at Auto Shanghai next week, MG UK are due to announce that new versions of the TF roadster will go into production at Longbridge. Keep tuned to AROnline for further details.

Admit it, the first thing you probably taught your dog to do was sit on command…or on several commands, more likely. Why did you do that???
Seriously, as a good leader there should always be a good reason for everything you ask your subordinate to do. Nobody likes a leader or employer who dishes out "busywork" just to keep his minions occupied. Your dog can't respect you, either, if you're constantly badgering him to do meaningless things.
The real reason you immediately taught him to sit was because it gave you a sense of accomplishment, along with a dose of pride in your dog who was obviously so smart! (Yes, there is sarcasm there.) It really doesn't take much brainwork on the dog's part to learn how to put his butt on the floor after you've asked him four times in a row.
Many trainers will tell you that you can calm a hyperactive dog by having him "sit." To a small extent, this may be true. However, when I ask my hyperactive dog to "sit," I can see her trembling with anticipation of the release—at which point she'll burst forth with even more pent-up energy.
Calmness doesn't come from the position of a butt. It comes from the mind, which is in the opposite end of the dog (or any other animal). You may be able to get your dog "still" for a couple seconds by asking her to sit, but being still is not the same as being calm. For the mind to be calm, we must remove the agitations of outside influences, and we must focus the dog's energy in one direction: toward us. The best way to do that is to first develop, practice, and live a relationship in which your presence puts the dog at ease. You can accomplish that, in part, by going back to the Leadership Game when your dog is stressed.
That said, "sit" is a handy command for your dog to know, particularly when you start adding the "stay," which is like glue or Velcro to the dog's body position.
So let's look at a way we can use "sit" to demonstrate our leadership capabilities, rather than just as a button we push at our convenience.
Respected leaders are to be taken at their word. They only issue commands one time, and expect compliance. They expect their subordinates to be listening to them because they have already earned that respect. Watch any group of gregarious animals; the leader of the pack or herd only has to "say" something once (generally using just body language), and everyone responds. This compliance is key to the survival of the group! When your dog runs out into the middle of traffic, you may have only one chance to say "Come" before he's hit. His life depends on him taking you at your word.
So why do we say, "Sit. Sit. Sit" to our dogs? They do NOT have hearing problems! They DO have compliance problems because we repeat ourselves and fail to physically enforce the commands. So they develop selective hearing and choose to only sit if they feel like it…or if we bribe them with a cookie.
You can and should teach your dog to sit the FIRST time you say sit. If you follow through with this principle in all your commands, you will also teach your dog to COME the first time you call him out of the busy street.
So from here forward, your dog will sit the very first time you say it, and you will never have to repeat the command—provided you teach him the right response from the beginning.
How you teach it:
First decide exactly where you want your dog to sit. In front of you? At your side? Wherever he is at the moment? If you want him to sit at your left side (which we practice in class), get him over there before you ask his butt to go to the floor.
Next, make sure he's paying attention. He will not respond if he is looking at (and thus thinking about) the dog on the other side of the classroom. To get his attention, play Leadership Game and/or simply say his name. When he looks up at you, he is ready to listen to you.
With your dog now on your left side facing forward (parallel to you), place your right hand firmly on your dog's upper chest. Bring your left hand over to the left side of his behind. Say "Sit" while pushing up and back on the chest and down and in on the behind. Keep your hands there for a moment and praise the dog. "Good sit!" Then release by standing up and saying "Okay!" Repeat. You will find the dog offering less and less resistance to your gentle assist. DO NOT repeat the "sit" command. He heard you the first time. What you are now teaching him is what it means, and here's the definition:
"When I say sit, you must immediately lower your butt to the floor wherever you are at that particular moment. If you do not, my hands will go on your body and I will place you in the position."
Rules for using the "sit" command:
- · Don't ask your dog to do this unless it's really necessary.
- · Don't give this command if you can't physically enforce it after you have said it once.
- · Don't repeat the command.
- · Make sure your dog is where you want him to end up when you ask him to sit.
- · Always praise.
- · Always release.

Gallwitz pipes
Year: 2014
This pipe shop was established in 1880. The company does not only sell fine leather goods and pipes, but they also manufacture them. I wanted to rebrand the company's image in a way which reflects their aim for high quality products and their love for traditions. During this process I aimed to find harmony in traditional engraving, modern colors and shapes.

I'm so glad I married This guy...
Because it means I can go to This place any time I want...
I love Franklin, Idaho in the summer.
I love it in the winter too but summer is really fun.
It was a GREAT week.
Darren completely wore himself out keeping us entertained. We built two awesome bookshelves {in the 100+ degree shop} for Jen and Jack's room {more on that later},we got to meet the new puppy Milly, we rode horses and went canoeing.
Loalee showed us how to spin wool into yarn and made lots of delicious food. How's that for an awesome weekend!
All six of us got to go on a 'real' horseback ride. We went three at a time. Jenna fell in love with the new horse, Darksea, and spent some time riding both Darksea and MissQuito by herself. Jenna and Benson still had their horses lead by Grandpa most of the time but they are both doing great learning. Dallin and Landon are pros and spent a lot of time helping to saddle and brush horses. Austin also does really well by himself.
Not bad for city kids. Don't tell them I called them city kids.
Beau proved himself a total city slicker as he bounced around the horses and got stepped on. It cut the pad of his paw really bad--we are hoping it heals without getting infected. He had a blast.
We went to Johnson's Reservoir (one of many in the area) to canoe and swim. I don't have any pictures of that beautiful night. Beau learned that he loves swimming and Jackson loved it too! We were the only people at the reservoir along with Jotham and Jamie and their family. And of course Darren and Loalee. The cool water was perfect in the over 95 degree weather.
We came home tired and happy and ready to enjoy our last week of summer vacation.


text: This place is extremely expensive and the staff is mean and rude. $10.00 plus tax for a double cheese burger and $1.50 for a side of green chile (about 2 table spoons, no kidding). I got a to-go order, the order arrived for the waitress by the cash register, she proceeded to collect the bill and never brought my food over. After she put my money in the till and walked away, I asked, "Is that mine over there?". She replied, (Oh, fu**!). Finally, she brought my food over and I examined the package. Granted, I was a little disgusted by her verbiage, I made a comment as to the size of the side of green chile(seriously 50ml, the size of a shot for $1.50). She then sarcastically replied, "Do you want another?", I chuckled, and said, "I don't want to pay another $1.50. She arrogantly closed with, "If you're going to throw a fit, I'll just throw one in!"...To make a long story short, $13.00 for a double cheese burger with rude service. Oh, and if you want fries, they're an additional $2.00. These people suck!

Dennis the Menace back after 10 years
- List.co.uk
- 5 October 2007
Dennis the Menace is making his return to television after a 10-year hiatus – but, in this politically correct age, the naughty schoolboy will no longer be punished by a smack from his dad's slipper.
The modern-day version of the rascal and his faithful friend Gnasher will even include an appearance on a daytime chat show with his mum.
Benjamin Gray, executive manager of DC Thomson - publisher of the Beano - said: "The storylines are very much influenced by what is going on in the UK now, just as they always have been.
"Quite a lot has changed over the years. Children now grow up in a world of reality TV, downloads and iPods.
"We have to take account of that and reflect what kids get up to but things won't change too much because that unique Dennis charm will still be there."
The series will hit TV screens in autumn 2009.

Japanese automaker Toyota has already made a name for itself in the burgeoning fuel cell automotive sector, and the company is now ramping things up to the next level with the introduction of the Toyota Fuel Cell Bus.
This fuel cell bus is equipped with as many as 10 pressurized tanks that contain a total of 600 liters of hydrogen, while dual electric motors allow the bus to benefit from 303 horsepower as well as 494 pound-feet of torque, not to mention the ability to make use of the fuel cell module as an electricity generator if needed.
The Toyota Fuel Cell Bus is all set to be made available on the market early next year, and is fairly being positioned as an automotive accomplishment that could revolutionize public transport.

I know that pumpkin and pear month is in full swing, but you know what else just screams fall? Other than, you know… ghosts, black cats, witches, and goblins. Cauliflower, nuts, and lotsa warm spices!
I made this cauliflower couscous a little while ago, and was crazy about the flavors. So good. Like, I just wanted to eat it every day. But, the problem is that my food processor is really small and sucky, so processing a whole head of cauliflower into tiny little couscous-like balls takes forever, is a major pain, and makes a big giant mess. So, I combined that recipe with Gwyneth's roasted cauliflower and chickpeas. OMG GUYS!
This dish is so freaking good, I'm seriously obsessed. I mean... it might be the best cauliflower I've ever had. EVER. I made it last week and ate it all, the entire thing, by myself. That's an entire head of cauliflower in one meal, in case you were wondering. I just can't stop. And it takes like five minutes to prep (plus 40 or so to cook), so it's super duper easy. Please say you'll make it!
Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpeas with Nuts, Spices, and Raisins
Adapted from this recipe and this recipe
1 can of chickpeas, rinsed, drained and lightly dried (with a towel or paper towel)
1 head of cauliflower, cut up into florets
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon za'atar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt & pepper
3/4 cup cashews
1/2 cup golden raisins
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread chickpeas and cauliflower on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil, za'atar, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. I use a pretty generous amount of salt, but you can taste the raw cauliflower or chickpeas to get it how you want it. Toss everything together or give it a good shake to mix.
Roast for about 30 minutes, then add the cashews to the tray, and roast another 5-10 minutes, until cauliflower is golden. Remove from oven, and add to a big bowl. Toss with raisins, lemon juice, and parsley. I like a lot of parsley, but that's up to you.

Beyond the frankly tropical climate of my office at work, winter has taken hold in earnest this past week. I've grudgingly rescued last years gloves and scarves from the back of the cupboard, and come to terms with having them on now for the next six months. Sigh. Goodbye autumn, you were beautiful while you lasted.
One of the few things that I relish about winter is the prospect of cooking great steaming vats of vegetable soups and stews. There really is nothing quite as heartwarming as sinking your teeth into a soft, gravy soaked dumpling or a crust of buttered,soup-stained bread on a cold day. Soups like this one, where the veg are roasted first, have a sweet intensity that makes me forget that I won't be leaving the house with bare legs again for half a year. Roll on Summer 2012...
1.5kg ripe plum (or other small sweet) tomatoes
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large fresh red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
350ml vegetable stock
3 tbsp olive oil
1) Place the tomatoes in a large roasting tin and toss in one tablespoon of the oil. Cook at 375f/190c/gas 5 for 45 minutes - take care as you remove the tin from the oven as the tomatoes will have released lots of piping hot juices.
2) Meanwhile, cook the onion over a medium heat in the remaining olive oil for ten minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, chilli and rosemary and fry for another five minutes, stirring often to prevent the garlic from burning. Add the cooked tomatoes, tomato juices and stock, and allow to cool.
3) After five minutes, blitz in an electric blender until very smooth, then strain through a fine sieve (you don't have to do this but I find the tomato pips a bit distracting otherwise), and check for seasoning. Add a little salt if necessary before serving.

I married at the age of 18. Shortly before my wedding, both of my parents died, leaving me with no other relatives. I looked forward to sharing life with my husband's large, close-knit family. But the day after the ceremony, my new mother-in-law began a crusade to divorce me. She went to each family member with horrible lies about me, and they believed her. I never got the chance to know them. The worst lie was telling my husband that I was unfaithful. The whole family condemned me without a shred of evidence. Fortunately, my husband knew better.
My mother-in-law banned me from all family functions and forbade everyone from having contact with me. She insisted that we move far away to a rural area, isolated from everyone. Before every holiday and family event for the past 25 years, I have cried watching my husband drive off for a day of fun and memories with his family, leaving me all alone. He says that he cannot disobey his mother, especially now that she is terminally ill.

Why See St. Vincent?
Fear the Future Tour
Three years after her robotically pulsating self-titled album, St. Vincent returns to the fold with her fifth effort, and this accompanying Fear the Future Tour.
One of the indie world most recognisable and respected figures, multi-instrumentalist St. Vincent (real name Annie Clark) carries on the legacy of heroes David Bowie and David Byrne (who she recorded a collaborative album with in 2012) by bringing together melodious pop and avant-garde experimentation. Each of her releases has been met with a tidal wave of critical acclaim and growing commercial success, and she recently branched out into filmmaking by directing a segment of the horror anthology XX. Oh, and she can shred with the best of them. Among her best known numbers are 'Digital Witness,' 'Cruel,' and 'Laughing with a Mouth of Blood.'

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez's return to Venezuela after cancer treatment in Cuba answered questions about whether he was still alive and triggered impassioned rallies among his supporters. But continued concern for his health and decisions made during his 10-week absence may only increase pressure for new elections to choose a successor.
Among the political factors at work, analysts said Monday, is the 46% devaluation of Venezuela's currency ordered this month by Chavez's designated political heir, Vice President Nicolas Maduro. The move could carry political costs in the long term that would make it expedient for Chavistas to hold quick elections if the president is too ill to govern.
The Venezuelan Constitution calls on the president of the National Assembly to hold new elections once an incumbent resigns or is deemed unfit to hold office. With Chavez battling cancer for which he has undergone four surgeries, that determination may not be far off.
As a result of the devaluation, Venezuelans' real income may decrease by 20% this year and inflation could rise 30%, said Francisco Monaldi, visiting professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Such economic fallout will most hurt poor Venezuelans — Chavez's core supporters —because they spend a higher portion of their income on imported food, he said.

The claim that the apartment building in Chennai (see post below) collapsed because of a lighting strike sounds- at first- far fetched, since such never was reported before. However, the Polytechnic Südwestfalen, Germany, made laboratory tests that showed that an enormous explosive power is mobilized, when the charge of a lighting jumps from one reinforcement iron to another (when not properly bound together). A possible lesson for engineers and builders in the industrialized countries as well.

Jet lag is usually the worst on day 2, at least in my experience. You wake up tired and can't go back to sleep, at a time of the morning when you should be blissfully snoring on your back.
This morning I probably would have slept through the "danger zone" in which if you wake up, you stay awake, except that the baby hit her head on something in her crib and started to cry. She, of course, went back to sleep. I lay in bed and tried to stay in bed and eventually got up. Which means that I woke Krista up, although she stayed in bed and tried to overcome it.
Jet lag also means that you will laugh at insane things that would usually pass by uncommented, like when someone close to you says, "Is this an animal show?" or "animal attraction" or something like that. I know, I know, there is nothing funny about these things. Intellectually I know this. But my jet lagged mind finds them hysterically funny. I am laughing right now. Ha ha! No one has actually said those things, by the way. I'm just saying that if they did, I would find it funny.
Speaking of which... lack of coherence is also a problem. Sigh.
Okay, it's now close enough to my regular wake up time that I think I will go eat some Honey Nut Cheerios.
If you see me asleep or napping today, or if you catch me staring off into space with a glassy look in my eyes, poke e in the side wmill you?

Hillary Clinton releases health data, doctor says 'fit to serve'
Hillary Clinton released new information about her health Wednesday as she recuperated from a diagnosis of "mild, non-contagious" pneumonia, with her doctor stressing she remains healthy overall and "fit to serve" as president.
Pressure had mounted for the campaign to release information about the Democratic White House nominee's medical status after she fell ill at a 9/11 memorial event Sunday, and it was disclosed that she had pneumonia.
The former secretary of state, 68, "continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States," her personal physician Lisa Bardack wrote in a detailed, two-page "summary update" on Clinton's health.
Bardack released Clinton's laboratory results that showed "normal" readings for cholesterol, triglycerides and other key readings.
"The remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition," she said.
Bardack also said Clinton has been taking the anti-coagulant Coumadin, and that her blood levels "have been relatively stable."
Clinton "is recovering well with antibiotics and rest" from her bout with pneumonia, she added.
Clinton had released a detailed statement about her medical history in July 2015.
Her campaign had been pressed to be more transparent about Clinton's health, particularly after it failed to reveal her Friday pneumonia diagnosis until Sunday, when she nearly collapsed as she left the Ground Zero site in New York.
Her rival Donald Trump is also being called on to reveal his own medical records, something he has not done save for a brief letter released last year by Harold Bornstein, the Republican nominee's doctor for 35 years, who wrote that Trump's health was "excellent and that a recent examination "showed only positive results."
Trump had another physical in recent days, and he went on the television set of celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz on Wednesday to disclose his new health records.
In a statement, the show said "Dr. Oz took Mr. Trump through a full review of systems." The show airs Thursday.

text: Well they make a nice little collection now and show off the different shapes well. Like the other vases this one is just 3 1/2 inches high, its shape no 116 and painted by Gwen Dry, sometime between 1928 and 34. The fourth example I have of this pattern is a bowl of the same hight also, which can be seen here on my web site. I suspect that this pattern was only pained on small items as it perhaps would not easily fit on anything too large. But in lots of ways small makes them all the more collectable, as they'll be easy to house and it is good news for my pocket too.

Not the windmill, the closer one. I thought at first it was an old, broken-down windmill, but there's an anemometer on it, some other device, and what appears to be a cable running down to the ground. A weather station?
and wooden sidewalks.
Loved the imaginative comments!
I think when you first look at this, it makes you want to take this particular long road home and all -- yet, when viewed in High Def, Uh-oh. There is a lot of blackness or is it deep shade -- but there's too much sunshine all around where there is such darkness.
The picture is great, and invites you to hit the road, play with the kid, climb the fences. I hope I can find an orange tree around.
... if you are referring to the episode "A Stop at Willoughby." Rather than creeping me out, this scene beckons me.
This picture looks like it was taken facing North on East River Road. It is somewhat similar even today (although it is paved) in that there are obvious lawns, trees, sidewalks and fences on one side and a drop off to the Detroit River on the other. The windmill and small building on the right echo outbuildings for boats, toys and barbeques found on the shore side of the road today.
I love this photo -- yes, heaven on earth. but I think I understand why some commenters think it's creepy -- there's a sort of movie genre that plays with the idea of the evil or perversion lying just beneath the surface of idyllic small town life, and they used settings just like this quiet road. Those films have lost their original power insofar as an audience sees a photo like this and already expects something dark.
bent on a little mischief or idly passing the time watching all the girls go by -- you be the judge. Interesting how my mind "sees" the sidewalk as concrete even though this excellent series of photographs clearly reveals wood. I've taken a dislike to the Livingstone family. Unfair of me, I know. I'll work on that.
It seems the windmill contraptions are straight out the game Myst. What is the device to the left of the vane? Rather than appear to be the rotors of a windvane in motion, it seems to actually be solid in construction.
As others have commented, these photos do have a different feel to them than most others. Certainly a Twilight Zone aura, but still a very inviting place that I would visit in a heartbeat.
and catch some shade under that chestnut tree, now almost extinct in North America.
from the previous picture? Did it chase a squirrel up the tree?
Yeah, I don't get why it's creepy to the AT. This is a wonderfully evocative shot of a place and time that really never existed. Wouldn't we all like to step into that scene, talk to that Our Gang hooligan, smell the flowers, climb the windmill?
This photo just has way too much of a Twilight Zone feel to it.
Just what strange thing does that kid keep locked up behind the fence? Does his imaginary playmate actually make things move? Who, or worse what, would you encounter just past the bend in the road? Would he pitch pennies with you for your soul?
Still a nice place to live albeit a bit pricey. Tree lined roads all through the city and nice shops down main street.
Au contraire, Anonymous Tipster old friend; looking at these Grosse Ile photos makes me think the place was a paradise on earth. I'd like to be the kid in the cap and striped jersey and go exploring.
I can't wait to get home everyday to check out the latest Shorpy photos. 99.9% of the pictures leave me with a pleasant viewing experience. For some strange reason this one really creeps me out. Someting sinister about it. I can't put my finger on it though. I'd probably be running home fast if I had to travel this road alone as a youngster!
Looks like our young chum has been following the photographer around.

Meconopsis World - A Visual Reference
Meconopsis Visual Reference Guide. Includes Photos, Taxonomy And Cultivation Information.
Saturday, 11 April 2015
Meconopsis prainiana
and also
M. prattii.
These are the spiny blue poppies related to
Meconopsis horridula.
Across the whole Himalayan range there must be great variation. They can be perfect azure blue through light blue in one direction and into muddy shades of purple in the other. There are white forms in cultivation too and even suggestions of yellow forms. What is in the seed exchanges is pretty variable and may not always turn out to be a good clear colour form. They are easy from seed and grow on quickly and usually they will flower as a biennial but can take an extra year especially in thin dry soils. With more than one plant they should set plenty of seed even in a poor year. Harvesting the seeds might best be done with gloves since the spines are strong and almost unpleasant to the touch. This plant again should grow anywhere in the U.K., even in hot dry climates, as long as the seedlings are grown with care in more moist controlled situations.
