C-Myste: Happy Trails with Dora
New blog author here. Kady will be back but I have been given the task of reporting on our hikes and nature trails. Kady prefers to watch life go by from the comfort of the dashboard. I am the one who gets out and seizes the day!
Last August I heard mom and dad discuss putting me up for adoption. But then they had to admit:
I am the best hiker.
I am the best varmint hunter.
I am the best singer.
I am the only one who likes to swim.
In short: I am the funnest!
So a few months ago I had a small surgical procedure. I guess all of the girls who stay in the family must have one. Now personally, I think it would have saved a lot of time and money if Huxley was the one who had a little operation. But whatever.
This is my initial report as the official family naturalist.
The last two weeks we have spent at parks in the Mesa/Apache junction area of Arizona: first at Usery Mountain Regional Park and now back at Lost Dutchman State Park. We had the very best campsite at Usery: number 37 which is right at the entrance to the Nature Walk Trail. How great was that? Mom and I walked that half-mile trail backwards and forwards at least two times every day for the entire week.
One time when we were walking it I met a full-time family with two twins. They have a cool blog too: unpredictableperrys. Sometimes I'm a little scared of human-puppies but these were big enough that they knew how to behave and were very polite. The boy was interested to learn about Cardigans and corgis so Mom told him all about us. We kept seeing them all week and we waved.
Another really great thing about Usery is that there were lots of tasty-looking bunnies and squirrels. I didn't get to go hunting though. Maybe next time.
This is a beautiful time of year here in the desert. It's so lush and green that hardly seems like a desert at all. I have put the two nature/native plant trails together so that we could get the most representative pictures of both. I'm going to post them in the order of the "Buckhorn Campground Nature Trail" at Usery and then add some additional plants from Lost Dutchman. The words in italics are copied from the Buckhorn/Usery brochure.
So come along for a guided tour.
1) Barrel Cactus - Ferocactus wislizeni
One of the largest cacti in the Sonoran Desert, the Barrel Cactus has yellow-green or red flowers the blook between Aprin and June. It can grow to be eleven feet tall, but contrary to common folklore, it is not filled with water.
We saw several barrel cacti that had fallen over and had their roots sticking up. Do they roll like a barrel when that happens?
2) Creosote Bush - Larrea tridentata
Used by Native American tribes as a medicine plant, the Creosote Bush produces a smell much like creosote tar after rain. Although the leaves are only 1/2 inch long the bush can grown to be 6-10 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide. It is one of the oldest living plants in the Sonoran Desert.
It blooms with little yellow flowers and then makes puffballs that we have seen little birdies eating. It was already blooming in Anza-Borrego in January but didn't bloom until late February here in Arizona.
3) Desert Mistletoe - Phoradendron californicum
The Desert Mistletoe is a parasite with narrow, green or brown stems. It can grow big enough to kill the major branches of its host or even kill the entire plant. The Desrt Mistletoe produces yellow-green flowers and pink-orange berries.
4) Desert Christmas Cholla - Opuntia leptocaulis
Named for its bright red fruit that grows during winter, the Christmas Cholla can grow up to 3 feet tall alone and up to 6 feet tall when protected by other desrt trees. The pale yellow flowers appear in the late afternoon throughout the months of May and June.
5) Hedgehog Cactus - Echinocereus engelmannii
The red flowers found on this cactus are large and the fruit is edible. It blooms April through June and prefers to live under full sun.
We used to have a stuffed hedgehog that we played with until someone ate it. It was not prickly like these.
6) Saguaro Cactus - Carnegiea gigantea
This cactus blooms in April and May and fruits in June. Its average lifespan is 200 years and it can grow to be 50 feet tall with many "arms" branching from it. The saguaro Cactus is protected by the U.S. Government. The bloom of the desert giant is the state flower of Arizona.
Big. Very big. So tall that a corgi can't see to the top.
7) Triangle-leaf Bursage - Ambrosia deltoidea
This member of the sunflower family can grow up to 2 feet tall and wide. Its leaves are 1 inch long and 1/2 inch wide, and are triangle shaped. Once it is established, it becomes a nurse plant, providing shade and protection for other growing plants.
We have lots and lots of this in our campsite at Lost Dutchman. Huxley pees on it. At least the burrs are too soft to get stuck in our coats.
8) Canyon Ragweed - Ambrosia ambrosioides
Cousin to the Triangle-leaf Bursage, this plant's flowers are yellow-green, 3/8 inch wide, and barely noticeable. Its leaves are green, hairy, triangle shaped, saw-toothed, 5 inches long and 1 inch wide.
9) Ocotillo - Fonquieria splendens
This woody shrub can reach 25 feet tall with a diameter of 10 feet. Its 1 inch long flowers attract hummingbirds. The Ocotillo has adapted to its environment by shedding its leaves during dry spells.
Sometimes they look like a bunch of dead sticks, but now they are all green and happy from the rain.
It really rained hard on our Monday walk. But now it's beautiful and sunny again.
10) Buckhorn Cholla - Opuntia acanthocarpa
Named for its stems, which look like deer antlers, the Buckhorn Cholla's flowers can be orange, yellow, pink, or red. The 2 inch long and wide flowers bloom in May. The cholla can grow up to 6 feet tall.
May? But some of them are blooming now. In March.
11) Foothill Palo Verde - Cercidium microphyllum
This tree is a primary nurse plant for the Saguaro cactus. It uses its canopy to protect plants from the sun It can also grow to be 20 feet tall with greenish yellow bark and green leaves. Palo Verde means "green wood" in Spanish.
This tree is labeled "Little-Leaf Palo Verde" at Lost Dutchman.
You can see how very small the leaflets are.
And this is a "blue palo verde". Wouldn't that make at a palo azul?
12) Prickly Pear - Opuntia engelmannii
This cactus is 2-3 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide. It contains soft green pads with short golden bristles. It can have yellow, red, or purple flowers, which bloom in the spring and summer.
And you can make jam and syrup and other stuff out of the fruit. They sell it in the tourist-stores here.
13) Mormon Tea - Ephedra trifurca
Used to make herbal tea, which can be used to heal urinary tract infections, respiratory illnesses, colds, and nasal decongetion. This 4 foot tall shrub has no leaves, but has many green branches.
It doesn't smell much like tea to me. I wonder how you brew it to cure colds? Mom and Dad could have used that.
14) Chain Fruit Cholla - Opuntia fulgida
The central trunk sprouts many spiny branches. This happens to be the largest cholla, and can grow up to 15 feet high and 6 feet across. It houses pink and white flowers that bloom from June to August. Every year, the chain fruit of the cholla grows 2 feet in length.
On the path at Lost Dutchman there is some fruit that has fallen or blown off. Kady and I both tasted them and them spit them out. Not so good for dogs.
These are as big as trees. The next cactus is at the other extreme.
15) Fishhook Pincushion Cactus - Mammillaria microcarpa
This cactus is less than 6 inches tall, with short, dense, grey spines. It grows under bushes or ledger, which protect it from the sun. Pin and lavender flowers form a crown around the top of the cactus and bloom April through May.
16) Chuparosa - Justicia californica
Spanish for "sucking rose," Chuparosas attract hummingbirds with their abundant supply of nectar. Red flowers bloom in the spring and after summer rains, but can occaisionally be found throughout the entire year.
At Anza-Borrego they called this "Cat Claw". I like "Chuparosa" better. Pretty things shouldn't get named after c*ts.
17) Jojoba - Simmondsia chinensis
Grows to be 2-6 feet tall and 3-6 feet wide. Edible nuts grow from it and were used as a coffee substitute by Native Americans and early settlers. The Jojoba is a doecious plant, meaning that the plant holds only male or female flowers.
So how cool is that? We have both in our campsite. Above is the female with the little baby nuts, and below is the male.
When we first saw them, the bushes reminded us of manzanita.
There is a profusion of these flowers. We saw a lot of the bushes in Anza-Borrego, but they weren't blooming yet.
The trees here are velvet mesquite. Mesquite pods are very tasty for dogs. We ate lots and lots of them when we were at Two Springs.
I don't know why there has to be so many kinds of cholla. They are a pain when pieces of them fall off and get on the path. Yesterday Mom tried to kick one off the path for me and then got it stuck in the toe of her shoe. She had to use tweezers to pull it all out. Kady had a piece stuck on her chin once and it took Mom and Dad both to get it. And Huxley will only walk on the path now and refuses to go off of it after he stepped on the stickers a bunch of times.
I'm not sure if this little cactus on the bottom is a fishhook. We found it at Usery and it wasn't labeled. It's very pretty. For a cactus.
Fairy Duster is Mom's favorite flower here. There was lots of it along the road when we were in Tucson. It makes puffs kind of like Dandelions that blow away in the wind.
I thought that they put this here just for me as a snack on the trail. But when I sniffed it and sniffed it I couldn't find any rat. I think it was a fake. Or the rat moved out long ago. Or some other dog already got to eat it.
These sure have been some pretty places. Very good dog-walking places. Arizona is friendlier about letting dogs on the trails than places we have been in California.

Disciplined Behaviour: Birthday wishes
I have a birthday coming up soon and when we were out at the pub last night my wife enquired what I would like to do on the day and what she might get me as a present.
I immediately said that in these “austerity times” we should watch our pennies and that I would prefer to splash out on both of us when it is her birthday, a couple of weeks after mine.
She smiled and said that was very thoughtful and wondered what I had in mind. I told her that I had booked and paid for, two nights away in country hotel, a stylish place with all the spa facilities you would expect. She was pleased to hear this but then said that she had hoped to see her sister and family on her birthday. She wondered if I could change the dates for a different weekend.
Off the top of my head I asked her if she wanted to take her sister on the hotel break and they could have a girly weekend of it. It was obvious that my suggestion appealed, so I said again that I would really like her to do this, it would be a great gift and give me a lot of pleasure. Before you could blink an eye her phone was out and she was asking her sister about the dates. By the time I had taken two sips of wine it was all sorted out.
Grinning away my wife said that she was thrilled to accept my present to her and that whilst she was away I could get on with decorating the sitting room. That would be another good present she thought, because she had been wanting this done for ages. Some celebration this was turning out to be, I thought.
We finished our meal and walked home. She took my arm as we strolled along enjoying the fact that it wasn’t raining for a change. She said I was the most thoughtful and obedient husband ever and deserved a reward.
“We will have to make your birthday spanking something special,” she said. “Tell me a fantasy and we’ll see if I can use that.”
I thought for a while and then began my story. It was hard to walk with a stiffening erection and I was flushed when we got home. Once inside she pulled me over to the sofa and hurriedly took off her knickers, opening her legs. I knelt on the carpet and licked excitedly. She had both legs over my shoulders with her feet on my back.
Proceedings lasted quite a while until she tapped me on the head and told me I could stop. Still kneelng in front of her she got me to drop my trousers and take matters into my own hands. She recounted my fantasy to me and when I asked if I could come she agreed, provided that I lick my cupped hand clean.
I wonder what the birthday will bring. A part of me is worried and the other part excited.

Happy Birhtday to both of you...sounds like there will be lots of celebrating!

The EU machinery has for years communicated the self-interested mantra that it is necessary to succumb to established EU form and, preferably quietly, raise all concerns around the EU negotiating table. It has never been mentioned that positive negotiating results rest on a genuine will to discuss, identify and rectify problems. When Cameron previously has presented deviating opinions at EU negotiating tables he has been met with not only empty high-flown phrases but also contempt (after one meeting, the French president WHICH ONE — refused to shake hands).

jQuery | Peter Whittaker - Iconoclasm and irreverence
Peter Whittaker – Iconoclasm and irreverence
CSS3, jQuery(), and musicology: Another “circle” for understanding Western notes….
On my personal page, I have an experiment in CSS and jQuery and musicology: The page represents the default key of C Major, using a clock-like representation of the notes of the scale. C – the root, or I degree of the scale – is represented at “noon”, and each note follows 1 or 2 “hours” later depending on the number of semi-tones separating the notes.
Associated with the IV and vii degrees (Fa and Ti) are functions to change key: In any key, sharpening IV/Fa moves the key forward by a fifth, e.g., from C Major to G Major. Likewise, flattening vii/Ti moves the key backward by a fifth, e.g., from C Major to F Major. (Minor keys are always the vi degree of the major scale, i.e., the La note, e.g., A minor in the case of C Major… …and that’s all we need to know about minor keys for now.)
The idea of the circle is to represent visually what happens in any key: The major chords are always in the 12 o’clock, 5 o’clock, and 7 o’clock positions, the minors in 2, 4, and 9, and the diminished in 11. Always. That’s kind of cool.
The idea of the clock comes from the fact that we use a 12 hour clock and there are 12 semi-tones in the Western scale. Isn’t that conveeeenient!
The CSS part of the experiment is using CSS3 to draw the circle and position the notes. That part works fine. But the associated flatten/sharpen functions aren’t getting placed properly, and even when they are, they don’t work as expected: Clicking the underlined word is supposed to move the key forward or backward.
For some reason, this only works in the Linear version – below the circle is an underlined function to switch from a circular view to a linear view and everything works fine in the linear view: One can switch to linear, change the key, then switch back to circular to see where the notes now live. Fixing this is problem #1.
The Javascript/jQuery experiment is doing all the heavy lifting (changing keys, sharpening/flattening notes, etc.) from within Javascript, mostly using jQuery(). This includes switching from Linear to Circular view, which is done by toggling the CSS file in use, and storing the current CSS type – line or circle – in the class of the div that is used to toggle the CSS. That’s kind of cool.
There are a lot of inefficiencies in the Javascript. For example, there is a lot of DOM access and many DOM updates, and each update will cause a page reflow. This isn’t a big problem for such a small page, nor is it a problem on a powerful device, but on a larger, more complex page or on a mobile device this might be unacceptable.
Another problem is that there may or may not be a memory leak in the use of the temporary newKey object in some of the Javascript. Again, not a huge concern in a small page that is likely shortlived, but in a long-lived app on a mobile device, this might be problematic. If this problem exists, it is because of my still having a “C like” concept of scope – lexical scope – and not having adjusted to how scoping is different in languages like perl and Javascript, which use dynamic scope. So I may be creating stack objects and leaving them orphaned.
One note about the use of objects Vs arrays: I’m using objects instead of arrays because it was simply easier to declare and define them, e.g., the natural notes in C Major object, but this does lead to some awkwardisms:
When a new object is created, I have to iterate through the existing object and initialize each element of the new object, since there is no “copy object” function/method, at least not as far as I can tell. (Setting “newKey = oldKey;” just makes newKey a reference to oldKey, meaning changes to newKey affect oldKey, not what I wanted. See comments above re orphaning.)
No slice() method for making the copy/initialize operation simpler. A lot of other arrayisms that might have been handy are also missing (but maybe this forced to me sort out presentation and content a little more clearly).
What’s next? Well….
It would be nice to get the accidental functions working in the circular view, but this might be an FF 3.6 thing (I don’t have FF 4, so I’ve not tried it yet to see if it does the CSS3 circle thing any better (my fave extensions aren’t available under FF 4 – yet – and I don’t like the change in status bar, so I’m sticking with 3.6 and the Meerkat). Next step is to try this under Safari and some mobile devices and see if it works there. If so, FF bug (maybe); if not, bug in my knowledge.
A definite bug in my knowledge is CSS positioning – it’s still quite mysterious to me, which is why the accidental function labels are not where there should be in the circular view. (My first attempt had them as child div of the IV and vii degree divs, which worked great, but that made updating the notes difficult and made hiding them after -7/+7 difficult (and also mixed function content with real content and broke the presentation/content barrier, sort of, I think). I might be able to play with $().empty(), $().append(), and $().replace() some more to do this, e.g., by having the labels as child divs and replacing only the sibling content, but that is more advanced DOM walking/updating than I know how to do yet. Maybe later.)
(If I were to figure out that last bit, I might add degree labels to the notes, e.g., “I: C”, especially in the linear view, and maybe even have the degree outside the circle in circular view. Cool idea. No idea how to get there yet.)
The two CSS files have overlap, which means maintenance headaches, having to change things in two places. Having three files (common, line, circle) would be more elegant, and perhaps simpler to maintain, but changing this now would violate the IIABDFI principle. I violated said principle two weekends ago, and spent the next week restoring my main laptop to a functional state. I keep saying I don’t believe in patching working systems – not practicing what I preach really, really hurt. But at least I got to see how ugly the Narwhal is. Sigh. Happy to be back with the Meerkat, thank you.
It would be nice to animate the transition, so that notes slide clockwise or counterclockwise, with the accidentals appearing/disappearing appropriately. But this would likely mean abandoning the use of CSS3 to draw the circle. I think. Unless I played games with incrementing the rotation angle for the degrees, which would then require resettig the degrees once they’d hit their new positions. Ugh.
I’m fixing the degrees, i.e., I == noon, ii == 2, iii == 4, etc., and moving the notes, but another way to draw the circle would be to use the notes as id for their elements instead of degree, then use something like the animation described above to move things around. I think that’s kind of nasty, as it seems to be break good practice associated with separating presentation and content: Right now, the “content” is the set of notes, while degrees are used to control how they are presented (by fixing the location of the degree, which makes sense, because degree is fixed), and degree is also used as the key in the note hashes (again, this makes sense because degree is fixed and notes are variable). But structuring based on notes might make animation easier. I might try it just to learn something.
Testing on other browsers (Safari, iDevices, Android). Forget about IE, I fully expect IE CSS3 shog of epic proportions.
Counting accidentals then hiding the appropriate function feels like a kludge, but I cannot think of more elegant way of doing it.
Understanding how jQuery scope works: It took a while for me to get functions ordered and nested appropriately within $().ready() so that I could call showKey() to do the display work, and I still don’t fully get that. More experiments will help.
Give credit where credit is due. I was inspired to do this after seeing the CSS3 clock created by Keran McKenzie, so props to him. Thanks!
The jQuery() team deserve massive praise for their work (and not just praise). The following pages were helpful in figuring out how to do specific bits:
The Wikipedia Javascript syntax page
Bits on switching stylesheets here and here.
A gentle intro to Javascript associative arrays.

Heath Family Living In PERU: April 2016
PERU.MISSION.2016: Mt. Vernon Baptist Church (Boone, NC) Serves In Peru
Six Fervent Travelers
Their hearts full of love,
They packed for their mission
With Bibles and tools
And the sweet love of Jesus,
Some say they were fools
To spend all their fortunes,
Their talents and time
To try to reach people
Of a whole different kind
A carpenter, a plumber,
A seller of land,
A nurse and two maidens
And this was their plan
To go to a people who
Might not have heard
And tell them of Jesus
And give them His Word
They feed them, they loved them
They showed them the way
And live there someday
They walked thru the rough
And stony byways
Climbed mountain peeks
Had allowed them to see
And used them on purpose
To reach such as these.

My Corner of Maine: Ok, Who's the Wise-Guy that's been singing "Let it Snow?"
Ok, Who's the Wise-Guy that's been singing "Let it Snow?"
Yes, this is Maine and yes, we get lots of snow in the wintertime. Especially January and February.
I've been hearing even the most hearty, winter-loving Mainers exclaim about how much we've been getting.
It's THAT excessive.
It all began on January 24th, a Saturday. We had a middle-of-the-road, every-day type of snow. It fell most of Saturday and finished up sometime overnight. I think we got 5 inches, at most.
Not a big deal. We hadn't had much snow so far this winter, so this was a welcome and lovely sight.
THREE days later, Tuesday, January 27th. If you didn't hear about this storm, then you might just live in a bucket. Winter storm Juno descended on the area and when all was said and done, we had over 20 inches at our house not far from the coast.
But it was fun! School was canceled for two days, the streets and driveways became canyons, and oh, the beauty of it all!
We also thought, "Whew, that was a big one. Hopefully we'll just have small ones from now on."
Oh no - no such luck.
THREE MORE days later, Friday, January 30th. We got 10 more inches on top of all the other snow, of course. Because in Maine, the snow just keeps piling up and won't melt until sometime in April.
Oh, and school was canceled again.
My husband likes to write snow totals on our calendar and as I looked at them I saw a pattern. Three days, anyone?
So as we were digging out on Saturday morning, I checked the weather app on my phone and saw that another storm was coming on Monday, February 2nd.
That Monday, we got another 9 inches, I think (by now, who cares?) and schools were canceled. Again.
I joked that this meant we'd get another storm on Thursday.
Geez, I hate being right.
That brought us to THREE MORE DAYS later. Yesterday. Thursday. Another storm and this time, only 3-6 inches were predicted. Well, we got 6.
Somehow 6 inches of snow doesn't seem like much when you have 4 feet of snow on your yard. And 6-8 feet piles where it's pushed at the street corners and driveways.
But 6 inches was a mess. A MESS. The parking lot where I work was not plowed all day, so I had to park a block away. And that's not so bad except that it was cold, single digits, blowing snow. And the sidewalks hadn't been plowed either.
Then I got home and the snow blower was on the fritz, meaning only one wheel was turning. I did all the right things to put it back to normal, but to no avail. It just wanted to spin in circles. I wrestled it around for awhile and then finally gave up in cursing and tears.
I promptly phoned my husband and picked a fight about the fact that when he wanted to buy a new snow blower a few years ago, I voted for hiring a plow guy. He came home a couple of hours later, figured out what was wrong with the snow blower, and finished the driveway and paths.
Secretly I feel like he deserves to do it all by himself all the time since I lost the vote. But marriage doesn't really work like that. Or shouldn't.
So last night after THAT storm was over, the temperature dropped to about 10 below zero and the wind picked up.
Oh joy! Because hoards of snow isn't enough - let's have wind and frozen faces too!
Early this morning before he left, my husband said something about a longer storm coming next week.
"Oh psh," I said. "You mark my word, WE WILL GET ANOTHER BIG SNOW IN THREE DAYS - ON SUNDAY."
The forecast now says it will be a Sunday/Monday storm that will bring 9 inches or more.
I won't even tell you what I saw on the long-range forecast.
But I will say this. I'm so ready to go to Arizona or Florida until about mid-April.

It is right to celebrate the life of the man upon whose shoulders we all stand.
Never have his shoulders cast a bigger shadow...
I long - for too long - argued that the war against the Taliban was a 'good war' of retaliation for 9/11. Many do-good pacifist liberals criticized me for it. I was late coming to the conclusion that as soon as Bush chose to invade and occupy Iraq, "Operation Enduring Freedom" became unsustainable. Inoperable & unendurable. I should have remembered Martin Luther King Jr's words. My error. I apologize, deeply, for it. Joseph Stiglitz straightened me out.
As Martin said, "What is bent can be made straight".

Rounding Third & Heading Home: My Dad, The Mick, and Father's Day
Happy Father's Day! Today's entry is dedicated to my dad Robert Mark. It has been two years since my father passed away and, even though the pain of his death has eased over time, I still miss him. My father and I were very different people. We disagreed on politics, religion, the economy, and almost every other subject or issue. But the biggest common bond we shared was baseball and the greatest memories I have of my father center around the game. Going to Kansas City A's and Royals games, playing catch, and watching the then dreadful Atlanta Braves on cable television are a part of my life that I will always cherish. In his day my dad was semi pro player and even at age 70 he could step in a batting cage and crush 80 mph pitches both left and right handed.It wasn't until later in my life that I began to appreciate the stories my dad would tell me about the game. My father was a Yankees fan because when he was growing up Kansas City was one of the Yankees top farm team. Whitey Ford, Hank Bauer, Elston Howard, and Mickey Mantle were some of the Yankee greats that passed through Kansas City on their way to the Bronx. Mantle was his favorite player and my dad would talk about The Mick for hours. As I young boy I heard about Mantle's Triple Crown season, his ability to hit the ball out of sight both left and right handed, the homerun he hit that almost went out of Yankee Stadium, his blazing speed, and how Mantle would have been even greater if not for all of the injuries he suffered. I remember asking my dad once if he had watched Don Larson's perfect game in the World Series and his immediate response was to tell me there would not have been a perfect game if not for Mickey Mantle's great catch early in the game. Even though I never saw Mickey Mantle play in person and barely remember him on television I have a vivid picture in my mind of his career thanks to my dad's stories.Last summer I took a trip to New York with my son and we went to two games at Yankee Stadium. In many ways my relationship with my son is similar to the one I had with my dad. We have very little in common but we still enjoy watching and talking about baseball. As my son and I sat at Yankee Stadium I told him the Mickey Mantle stories his grandpa had shared with me. We went to the third deck in right field and I showed him where Mantle's homerun almost left the stadium. I pointed to death-valley in left center field and recounted the catch Mantle made that saved Don Larson's perfect game in the World Series. My son, who is a young adult, listened and asked questions and I was able to pass my father's love of baseball and Mickey Mantle on to him. It was almost as if my dad was at the game with us and it was a very special time for me.This will be the second Father's Day I will not be able to share with my father. But my dad left me with a love for the greatest of all sports and for that I will always be blessed. Happy Father's to all.Mickey Mantle saves Don Larson's perfect game
Good post! I guess I never saw this side of Grandpa. But I did enjoy watching the funny things happen at his house and him going, "Yeah, if your dad was here he'd be pushing his head into a pillow or trying very hard not to laugh. HE thinks everything is so d**n funny." And he always smiled when he said it. LOLI love you. Happy Father's Day to an amazing Dad who I am proud to be called his daughter!
That was a great post dad!!! I loved watching gramps play baseball, just watching for 5 minutes you could tell right away he was a natural!!! I love you dad, and I'm sorry I can't be there to share fathers day with you!! but I will be there in spirit sharing all of my love!love youu!!
What a nice tribute to your father. I feel the loss of a parent, my mother. It's been 16 years since she died and it has gotten easier with time...I guess.But our parents are never gone. I don't know about you, but I hear my mother talking from my mouth sometimes, and I am even saying some of the things I told her, "I will never say that to my children." My mother is still in the way I fold my towels, and even in the way I HAVE to put the toilet paper on the roll. Funny, sometimes I feel closer to her now than I did when she was alive. Heck, what am I talking about? I AM her!I like that your children read your blog! Grateful for today,Jill

Fears mount for Europe's child refugees - Reuters TV
Fears mount for Europe's child refugees
>> A tale of two brothers. Torn apart by war in the Middle East, reunited in Britain. Wishing to remain anonymous, they may be safe now, but their legal status is still pending, their families still in Syria. They didn't have the money to make the dangerous journey together. So the eldest arrived first.
His younger brother, 15 when he set off, found himself stranded in the French port city of Calais. NGOs say there are thousands of child refugees traveling alone across Europe, living in filthy and dangerous conditions. Under the Dublin Treaty, they have a right to be reunited with relatives already in Europe, but NGOs say the system is broken and youngsters are falling through the cracks.
Citizens UK with the help of Avast, the world's largest online campaigner, are crowd funding money to step in and help, reuniting vulnerable children with their families. The brothers are one of 30 families they've reunited from Calais. Were you afraid at any point during your journey to get here?
>> We were so afraid. We were all young. The others were older than us, they were always shouting at us or trying to fight us and we didn't dare say anything because they were bigger than us.
> Laura Griffis from the campaign group, say they're currently working with 157 other children in Calais who have family in the UK, providing them access to lawyers and informing them of their rights.
>> My fear is that these children will die. They will die jumping on trains and into the back of lorries trying to reach their family members. Because their brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers are 20, 30 miles away.>> The British government has agreed to take in thousands of unaccompanied children from refugee camps across Europe.
But it's a process that will take months. Campaigners are calling for those that already have family here to be given the chance to go back to school in September.

Canadian Ministry Fined $23000 For Firing Homosexual
Posted by Job on May 3, 2008
Excerpt: Canadian ministry Christian Horizons has been fined more than $23,000 for firing an employee who was actively engaged in a homosexual relationship. Christian Horizons is an evangelical ministry in Ontario that has cared for more than 1,400 people with developmental disabilities in 180 group homes. The group requires all employees to sign a contract agreeing to abstain from all sexual immorality, including homosexuality. When Christian Horizons fired a female employee who became involved with another woman, she complained to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, which fined the ministry $23,000 and two years back pay.

Mizerany Family: Clean Plate Club
As you all know, we have had problems with Preston eating for a long time. Though he is eating better now, some friends (Ashley and Mary Michael) shared with us something they do after their kids eat a good meal. We were taught this little song, which includes hand slapping on the table and chanting "Preston's in the clean plate club, Preston's in the clean plate club" over and over again. We started it as soon as we returned from our first beach trip in June, and it was a hit with the kids.
This morning, I was watching the kids play with Bennett's baby dolls. See for yourself...

Some Reflections – BASIS Tucson North Senior Project Blog
I presented my final project this past week. Upon reflecting over its success, I realized some valuable things were I ever to repeat a similar process.
Firstly, I was rather disappointed I didn’t get the opportunity to carry this project to the next level with a creative aspect. I consider myself a rather creative person, and while I enjoyed the very research-heavy nature of my project, next time I’d prefer to try something where I get to be slightly more inventive of my own nature. For this particular project, this might mean the creation of an environmental education manual for teachers, or even the culmination of the worksheets I designed into a fun booklet for the kids.
Secondly, were I to redo this project, I might do some research on how environmental education could be effectively implemented in our home community. At my project, I got lots of questions surrounding that sort of topic- like “What did you observe with the infrastructure surrounding environmental education in Oregon that made it successful” and “How do you think we could bring this back to BASIS” and “What did you learn during this project that could be specifically relevant to our BASIS community”. Studying these things would be especially important for our community, but also pique my interest because I was educated at BASIS, and would wonder how our education could be improved to reflect the thesis of my project.
Lastly, one of my biggest regrets was that I never actually got the chance to see Wheeler Elementary in person. The 4th-5th grade students using Project Based Learning at Wheeler were doing all sorts of great work and had multiple open houses to display their projects, so I wish I could’ve been present to see it. It also would have been fun to see the worksheets I designed being used, but thankfully the teachers were lovely and gave lots of great feedback.
But overall, this project was wildly successful! It was made possible by Mrs. Lundt, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Kramer, Mrs. Logan, Mr. Winkelman, and Dr. Paradise and the rest of BASIS Ed- so special thanks to all of them.

Itty bits of me: Feb 26, 2009
My sister sent me this photo today on my computer. I haven't gotten to see and squeeze my baby nephew like I want to for so many reasons I can't get into now. But I couldn't let the photo go unused on my hard drive. So here you go. The kit was a download a day from Divine Digital called Love Whispers. I finally had a chance to use it from last month! I am so glad I finally got the chance. I think it was perfect for this! He is a true miracle and we are so happy to welcome him to our CRAZY family! He was born Christmas day, what a gift right???!!!
Posted by My name is Rose at 10:16 PM 0 comments
So this is a rather silly post, but I am pretty excited about it. I follow several sites daily to download kits, parts of kits, respond to emails and postings on my layouts, etc...So when I visit them, (particularly 3scrapateers) you can see how many people have view your pages. I have one page (which is also my favorite page you can see in the right hand column) called "You light up our lives." It is two clicks away from being viewed 100 times!!! I haven't received but 3 comments on it, but hey, I am happy knowing that my page sparked interest enough for almost 100 people to open it. And maybe, just maybe, they learned to blend as I did when I saw a page done by Vicki. I am thrilled...I will let you know this evening, if it hit the 100 marker!

One of the best uses of iPads in college classroom. Can use with flipped class. McGill University gave environmental biology students mobile devices to gather rich data in the field and to support learning through real-time interaction with their instructor and the larger research community. EDUCAUSE Review Online, November 2013.

iPads have been a popular device in higher education for some time now, but it looks like the smaller version of Apple’s best-selling tablet is catching on as well.
This is a take on pre-loading iPads with required reading.

The king of instructional systems models is uncrowned. We have the process and assessment moved to fore. I agree (guardedly), but I hope that assessment becomes less rigid.

One Day at a Time Mama: Getting Ready to Make Another Donation!!
Here is what I have collected to donate to the Crossroads Pregnancy Center in my town. I had stopped in a while ago making another donation and looked through the community coupon box they had sitting out. Would you believe I found a ton of the $5 off any Similac coupons!!! I asked if I could take them because I knew I could turn it into free formula for the center. They agreed. Needless to say I hit up Walmart and Rite Aid and was able to gather all this together. I can't wait to see their faces when we drop it all off.
Everything in this picture was free, I don't remember how much the diapers were, but they were clearanced out at Rite Aid a while back, and I had coupons to cover them as well! There are14 bottles of formula, 5 Carefree pantiliners, 5 tubes of kids toothpaste, a sample of Good Nights, various kids toothbrushes, and the large pack of diapers. Well over $100 retail!
This is only about half though, as I had already dropped off about 12 bottles of formula the day I picked up the coupons!
The best part about knowing how to save money, is knowing also how to help others. I was able to get this all free and let others benefit from it. I also volunteered to teach a couponing class for their clients, hopefully I can make an even greater impact!

British Secondary Vocational Settings, in Pictures (mostly) – Ready for the New World
Education for a bright, new future Education / US-UK Fulbright Journey	British Secondary Vocational Settings, in Pictures (mostly)	September 15, 2014 Becca Leech1 Comment	I’ve been organizing the photos I took of school settings for 16 – 18 year-olds across England last year. I thought they might be interesting for some who have recently asked me about the differences in vocational education here in the U.S. when compared to England.

THE QUIDDITCH POST: Coaches' Poll: South 10/9
Coaches' Poll: South 10/9
1-Tied
University of Miami (UM) (2)
Florida's Finest (FF) (2)
The Southern Storm (SS)
Florida Gulf Coast Quidditch (FGCU)
Others Receiving Votes: University of Florida Quidditch (8), RCQC (7), Florida International University (5), Florida State University (1)
Notes: Five votes were cast, one ballot was rejected as incomplete.
1. I would go with FF, just because it will be strong throughout the entire year, and I feel like its individual position players are stronger than what other teams have. Its new additions will fit in well with its veteran players and FF will make its run for a championship. The only downfall is of course that unlike UM, FF does not practice regularly as a team.
2. UM is stronger than ever in my opinion, and deserves No. 1 as well. But UM has many new pieces. It has rookies and returning vets. The only downfall I see with it is handling that mixture of veterans playing with newcomers (playing time). Also I believe many personalities are at UM. Don't get me wrong though, they all have great minds for the game, but sometimes a few people may be unwilling to listen to someone else's opinion.
3. CofC is my third team ahead of SS because I believe that what it did last year is not a fluke. This team has some very athletic people, they are well trained, and they are very physical, which will allow CofC to compete with any of the teams in the South. The loss of Steven Schwark is a big one, but the team has people ready to step up and take his place.
4. SS is No. 4 behind CofC due to its lack of a regular practice routine. I'm not sure if SS will have everyone able to conduct practices, but they have the individual pieces to be great. I was able to compete in the fantasy tournament up in North Carolina over the summer summer and was able to recognize SS’s pieces. I left amazed and I know it is going to run the tables throughout the year and at the regional championship.
5. FGCU came out extremely strong during Canes classic and played well against both From what I can tell, FF and UM are also very physical. I saw FGCU make a few errors due to its inexperience but those will be corrected throughout the year. I really liked what I saw.
6 and 7. I put TTU and inTENNsity for spots 6 and 7. From reading and listening to some podcasts, I had to put them ahead of the teams in Florida.
8. USF can easily be a top three team. The showing it had at Canes Classic was not even close to the roster I expect it to have at the regional championship.
9. RCQC is No. 9 based on the strength of other teams ahead of it. Nine is what it (somewhat) received at the regional championship too. I believe RCQC will be the fourth or fifth best team in Florida throughout the season. There will be new players to watch out for on RCQC. If so, RCQC can jump up to fight for a fourth bid during the regional championship.
10. USC is my last team in the poll. South Carolina has always produced a solid team every year and I expect it to improve this year.
I placed Miami at first because it went to double overtime against FF, and from what I heard Sean Beloff was hurt and didn't play much. If he played like I know he can, it could very probably win in regulation. Naturally, FF came in second after Miami. CofC is third because it is a talented team that often finds itself struggling during snitch-range games. USC is a close fourth behind CofC. They share many of the same problems, including snitch-range panic, but USC should have a full roster this season which will help. Southern Storm is fifth because quality between USC and CofC is tight; with the addition of Steven Schwark, SS could be a dangerous team. InTENNsity is sixth because I've heard a lot of good things about it. USF I’ve ranked seventh because it had a solid core at regionals last year, but I heard it might have lost a few players. I placed TTU at eight because year after year it puts out a solid team but it lost players to InTENNsity. I unfortunately do not have much information on RCQC or FSU.

September | 2010 | Heads Will Roll
Monthly Archives: September 2010	September 6, 2010 · 6:04 pm	Being a tight arse and paying for it	There is saving money and there is setting yourself up for trouble. If you fly with Tiger you are going to get fucked.
In late July a trip was planned to watch Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem perform at Festival Hall in Melbourne. The bands were going to play a double headline show and when Perth was left off the touring the schedule the choice was made easy.
Unfortunately when it came time to book the flights my curiosity got the better of me. Sure I’ve heard nothing but complaints from anyone and everyone who has had an experience with Tiger Airways but a flights a flight, isn’t it? My logic was convincing. The extra $100 saved on airfares could be blown on much more rewarding things like alcohol and material possessions. Surely that would be worth a little bit of discomfort?
I imagine the convicts shipped to Australia by the British Empire in the 1800s were treated far better than we were on that plane. I doubt convicts sat around in a waiting area for hours on end with no idea what was going to happen to them next. They would be doing more enjoyable things like being whipped or imagining how they’ll never see their loved ones again.
Quickly the $100 bonus money started to be eaten away. Want to bring a suitcase? There goes $30. Your suitcase is over weight by less than 1kg, take away another $15. Don’t have cash? Sorry, make that $20. So now that $100 bender is a $50 bender, which is still good considering the flights only a couple hours, right?
Sure the scheduled flight to Melbourne is only a couple of hours. What I forgot to consider was the hours we would spend in airport lounges, also known as purgatory for the religious readers out there, or the final season of Lost for those nerdy readers out there.
First there was faulty equipment that caused all of the passengers to have to collect their luggage from the baggage carousel and recheck it back in. This happened when we were scheduled to start boarding. We then sat in silence for another hour with no idea what was going on. Once they attempted to start boarding a security alarm kept being set off, which kept us captive for longer still.
Possibly I‘m being a little bit harsh on Tiger as every airline has computer troubles, what they don’t have are regular Tiger passengers. If you put a group of arseholes together in a confined area and fill them with alcohol it doesn’t take a genius to guess what will happen.
It was raining when we boarded. The metal stairwell proved too much of a challenge for one of the alcoholically challenged passengers who tumbled down face first onto the tarmac. We sat waiting for 45 minutes while the medical crew decided if the man could fly. Once he boarded with his severely bandaged face we were ready to take off.
Well, actually no. We were then informed a passenger was missing. The pilot explained how serious a missing passenger is, though I’m not sure how much mischief they could actually get up to considering the last plane had flown out of Perth hours before. A printed list of passenger names was produced and we were checked off. It turns out we hadn’t lost a passenger, just another 25 minutes. They had printed a passenger’s name on the manifest twice.
The pilot announced we would take off once the final boarding check was completed and a minor cheer went around the cabin. Everyone was ready to go except for the passenger two rows behind me who refused to turn off his iPhone. A shouting match broke out between the passenger and the crew member who was understandably over it as much as we were at this stage. The man was threatened with being dragged off of the plane and he reluctantly relented.
With the final obstacle cleared we took off into the blustery Perth night. As the plane creaked and groaned I started to imagine crashing back down to earth and dying in a fiery explosion. I had mixed feelings as I really wanted to watch Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem but at least I wouldn’t have to endure the return trip back to Perth with Tiger Airways. Sometimes we need to put ourselves through trauma to realise some things are worth spending a little bit extra on. Take my advice if you value your sanity do not fly with Tiger Airways.

The Advantages to Using Stainless Steel | architecture tips
The Advantages to Using Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a resilient, 100% recyclable, hygienic material making it a popular choice for commercial and home kitchens alike. It has a universal appeal that works with modern, sleek-looking kitchens while providing a non-contamination working zone. Utensils, appliances, flat surfaces and back splashes ensuring longevity and corrosion-resistant traits are produced from this type of steel. It prevents food contamination from occurring while keeping everything aesthetically appealing. It is easy to clean and requires little to no maintenance and/or upkeep costs. These advantages alone make it an ideal choice for commercial and home kitchens.
Steel buildings created, shaped and molded some of America's most iconic monuments that are still standing today, such as the Empire State Building. It was designed by architects who were determined to manufacture New York City's tallest building. However, these experts were confused on what type of metal should be used. Iron was too heavy to hold up such a tall structure so experimenting with different metals was required. Overtime, it became clear that steel was the premiere selection. It was lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant making it a perfect material for this spectacular building. These are the exact reasons why building designers and architects today choose this exact type of steel as their preferred metal.
Offers Adaptability
It is tough to find a material that does not falter under harsh temperatures and extreme settings while remaining functional and aesthetically pleasing. Stainless steel fulfills all of these requirements and more. It is a stylish material that no longer portrays a sterile, cold environment. Long gone are those days where steel is solely used for hospitals and food processing plants. Today, this type of metal comes in different finishes and colors making it easily adaptable to any commercial or home space.

Hapless Homestead: Over It....Really...
Posted by NancyDe at 2:24 PM
Keep on slogging or trudging or marching onward, anything worth having is worth working for.
Hope all works out for you. Sorry that you are having a difficult time. Make a cup of tea, read through some of your old blogs. You will see how much you have accomplished. Deep Breath!
Hang in there! One lil' step at a time and you'll get through it. Make a list (even the little things can go on it) and mark 'em off one by one. And, something I learned from my recovery~Take care of what you can, let the rest take care of it's self (tho I'm not very good at it, it makes sense). Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way.
Thanks, everyone! Home now, somebody else made dinner and somebody else fed the animals (I still had to water the greenhouse plants and pick the tomatoes and cukes) and about to settle down with a rather mindless book I have read several times before, because I am too lazy to search my 8 book shelves for something more engaging... and tomorrow is a beach day!

Elias!: Urgent Request for Prayers!
Urgent Request for Prayers!
We just got an update about another FA family who is in desperate need for prayers. I simply copied this from Alicia’s Blog another FA patient who had a bone marrow transplant almost a year ago. “We would like to ask for prayers for a FA family here in Cincinnati. His name is Stacy, He is five. He was in transplant when Alicia was here, about a month after hers. They were next door neighbors at the Ronald McDonald House for several months. He has been given only hours to live and his parents are having a very hard time, to say the least. He went home about a week after Alicia to Kentucky. While at home, He got a port on Thursday, the site came open and got an infection in his blood (MRSA). He then got pneumonia and was placed on a vent. He was brought back to Cincinnati. It has quickly taken over his body and his body started shutting down. They were told today he has a brain bleed, which they can not find and do not know how long it has been bleeding. His parents Michelle and Mark are holding out all hope and just not ready to let go. They are going to try dialysis the last I heard. Please pray for them!!! Michelle is having a very hard time with all this.” This is simply a somber reminder of how unfortunate and terrible this disease can be. We feel for the parents of Stacy and are hoping for a miracle tonight! Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest

Prophecy | Akatsuki No Yona Wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikia
"Darkness has fallen upon the land.
The blood of the dragons will revive once again,
and the ancient pact will be kept.
When the four dragons are gathered,
the sword and shield which will protect the king shall awaken,
and the Red Dragon shall restore the dawn at last."
Darkness Falls on Earth with dragons blood they arise once again following the ancient pledge the four dragons will gather to protect the sovereign the sword and shield will awaken and the Crimson Dragon will finally return from dawn
The prophecy foretells the future of the Kouka Kingdom and its princess, Yona. This is conveyed by Ik-Soo when Yona visits him after she and Hak are chased out from the Hiryuu Castle.
Dissecting the Prophecy Edit
Dragons' Blood and the Ancient Pact Edit
The blood of the dragons will revive once again, and the ancient pact will be kept.
Kija when he meets Yona for the first time.
This tells Yona's search for the four legendary dragon warriors that are the avatars of their respective dragon gods. As she gets to see each one of them, the warriors goes through an initiation where they feel the part of their body possessing the dragon's power hurting while their blood is boiling.[1][2][3] In their minds, they hear the dragon's voice telling them the pact that they must keep:
"Warriors of the four dragons! From now on, you are our other halves. With Hiryuu as your master, protect, cherish, and never betray him for as long as you live!"
The ancient pact is about protecting King Hiryuu, and this was received and done by the first dragon warriors. Their successors however, have no one to protect as Hiryuu died even before the original dragon warriors died and since then, they have been waiting for the king’s reincarnation.
Out of the four current warriors, Zeno did not have an initiation.[4] Although this is because he is one of the original dragon warriors that protected King Hiryuu, which was confirmed in the Manga.
The Sword and Shield Edit
"When the four dragons are gathered, the sword and shield which will protect the king shall awaken"
After Yona gathers all the dragon warriors, they go back to Ik-Soo to ask about the sword and shield. However, the priest tells them that the sword and shield needs time before appearing.[5]
It is possible that the "sword" may be literal, as there are multiple panels of Yona holding a sword with a unique hilt that only appear in the first few of pages of the manga. This seems to reference a future event that has not yet occurred.
The "shield" is most likely Zeno because in the Manga he states that he's the shield that'll always protect Yona. His body is immortal and he cannot die so him being the shield is the most plausible answer.
