Lautner’s Segel residence | ...architecture of the earth and the living
Tag Archives for Lautner’s Segel residence
What’s so important about space? Why does it hold such a prominent role in architecture?
Space, the terrestrial kind we’re most familiar with – the kind that enters frequently into conversations about architecture – surrounds us with its presence, and, as a consequence, exerts a life-long influence over us.
Before Space was Designed – Santa Monica Mountains
after: Los Angeles
Naturally enough, it occupies an important place in the mental landscape of an architect. Introduced early on as a core concept in our architectural vocabulary, its status as a prime mover in our thought processes when designing may fluctuate over the years, but it continues, nevertheless, to always be a major factor in our designs. What that means is that architects, through their design of space, exert a life-long influence over all of us.
If you’ve ever heard an architect speak, ‘space ’, like code, dots their conversations. Did you understand what you were listening to? You may nod your head in a knowing way, but given the enormity of their influence in our lives, it would be reasonable, perhaps, to take a closer look.
Two influential historical sources on the concept of space:
Lao-Tse’s 6th century philosophical insight:
“Thirty spokes meet in the hub, but the empty space between them is the essence of the wheel. Pots are formed from clay, but the empty space within it is the essence of the pot. Walls with windows and doors form the house, but the empty space within it is the essence of the home.”
Wright’s famous update:
“a building’s reality is the space within.”
Herbert Johnson residence, ‘Wingspread’
John Lautner’s Segel residence
If you’re not an architect and the above aphorisms frustrate your requirement that definitions be more rigorously precise, indulge me for awhile as I attempt to shed some light.
Let’s begin with a look at how the Dictionary defines space:
a continuous area or expanse that is free, available, unoccupied.
dimensions of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move.
For most of us, the dictionary definition would be hard to quarrel with and probably comes closer to how we typically use the term space. So, why then, are Lao-Tse’s and Wright’s formulation so meaningful to architects? Why would a poetic view of space take precedence over a more objectively rational definition? After all, insofar as architecture primarily encompasses building technology, precision of definitions, you would assume, is necessary. And, of course, you’d be right – when the appropriate time for it arrives later in the design process.
Part of the reason for thinking poetically, or metaphorically, is its relative fluidity. The opposite approach – demanding precision too early in the design process – is a sure way to hobble ones creative efforts. Anyone who is creative knows this. It’s important to stay creatively loose as long as possible. Precision comes later when ideas need to be tested.
Also, there’s something else to Lao-Tse’s and Wright’s insights beyond poetry.
Thinking of a building as the ‘space within’ sets the stage for focusing on the experience of ‘being’ within a building, of how one experiences oneself within those interior spaces.
The architect, Steven Holl, put it this way:
“Experience is the ultimate test of design. Moving through…space, incomplete perception in how a building can draw you through, the quality of the materials, the smell, the sound, the quality of the light – these things are all interacting in an enmeshed experience. That experience needs to be felt with the body moving through space. The body becomes the measure of space-perception.”
Steven Holl, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art
There’s another explanation for focusing on the space within: Before Wright came on the scene, architecture was commonly regarded more as an object. It’s primary frame of reference was the street elevation. What could be seen and therefore more easily grasped and manipulated, i.e., what was solid: the floors, walls and roofs, dominated building design. Except for finishes and furnishings, interior spaces became secondary to overall appearance.
Yes, there were exceptions: Gothic cathedrals, where capturing an experience of heaven above, joy if possible, or the weight of ones relative smallness in contrast, by means of a very tall interior space, lit from above by mysterious light, drove the design of the built structure.
And palaces have been built over the centuries where the rooms that accommodated the public, enormous rooms with high ceilings and with long approaches, were designed to impress and intimidate.
And, then, just as Wright’s career was taking off, George Wyman in Los Angeles designed the famous Bradbury Building, one of the great works of 19th century architecture. In case you’re not familiar with it, the Bradbury’s defining characteristic is its 5-story, glazed brick-walled interior atrium space lit from above by an enormous skylight. Purportedly influenced by a book of science fiction, “Looking Backward”, Wyman wanted to create “a vast hall of light”. His vision of the space drove the design of the building.
With Wright the perception, that the spaces within shaped a building, transposed into what evolved as his unique architecture. The experience of living in those spaces, moving through them, being in them was primary. That which contained and filled the spaces followed. Encapsulating this way of regarding space poetically, as he did, served to underscore its value, its contribution to the art of living well.
His way of thinking about the nature of buildings, reincarnated from ancient Taoism, became an effective means to getting his kind of architecture built. The main hall of the Johnson Wax Headquarters, or the Guggenheim museum are superlative examples. On a residential scale his Usonian homes capture – are shaped by – Wright’s vision of domestic life, the experience of living fluidly and intimately connected to the earth.
And, finally, there’s yet another way to think about the relationship between buildings and the spaces within: architectural space, being the void within the containing building envelope, i.e., the floors, walls and ceiling, acquires it’s physical characteristics from the characteristics and positioning of those components and from whatever occupies it, such as light, furnishings, and other people. In other words, space is not an entity independent of what defines (contains) it.
Space is not something that can exist by itself. Its envelope and everything that occupies it are actually an inseparable part of the whole called a building.
As the components containing the space are selected, placed and treated, so the spatial characteristics unfold – and, therefore, how we the occupants ultimately experience it.

In his half-century career as a dancer, choreographer and director, Michael Kidd won friends and awards with equal alacrity. And he lived long enough to see some of his best films acknowledged as classics.He even aged gracefully, never settling into a role as the grand old man of Broadway and Hollywood dance but rather staying energetic, perceptive, witty. His stories about working with pop diva Lena Horne on a revival of the Rodgers and Hart musical "Pal Joey" could curl your hair, and his death from cancer on Sunday at age 92 deprived the dance world of one of its most sunny raconteurs.
His shelf full of Tony Awards (five) and his lifetime-achievement Oscar 10 years ago are prime evidence of the acclaim he earned while active in that world, but his success was of a particularly disarming sort. For Kidd specialized in character dance both as a performer and choreographer. And though he started his career in classical ballet, he always expressed a healthy disdain for its pretensions.In the 1954 film comedy "Knock on Wood," Danny Kaye is chased by killers into a theater and ends up hiding on stage during a performance by a Russian ballet company, allowing Kidd to lampoon many of the stylistic excesses he'd observed while a dancer in American Ballet Theatre. It's all very broad and very funny, but never far from its source: Mikhail Fokine's antique Tartar divertissement, "Prince Igor."Indeed Kidd was a master of sharply observed genre dances, showpieces set in colorful, familiar worlds: Toulouse-Lautrec's Paris ("Can Can"), Al Capp's Dogpatch ("Li'l Abner"), Damon Runyon's New York ("Guys and Dolls").Others specialized in dances for princes and sophisticates, but Kidd choreographed for the little guy, the working guy, the guy defined by his job and the movement that job entailed. Shot in one long take, the "Lonesome Polecat" sequence for the film "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" developed out of backwoods tasks, such as chopping wood.And in the film "The Band Wagon," Kidd created an inspired shoeshine sequence as well as one that got Fred Astaire out of his top hat and tails long enough to play a cynical private eye working on a case.He wasn't afraid to use film artifice when it suited the occasion. His terrific "Seven Brides" barn-raising sequence, Kidd would point out, contained a shot in which a dancer is supported by an invisible safety wire as well as a difficult flip that was filmed with multiple cameras -- with the takes cut together to make it look like the dancer did that stunt more than once.Most of the time, however, a Kidd dance sequence simply shows other people doing what he could do, full out and with flair. You can get a glimpse of his skill as a dancer from "It's Always Fair Weather," a 1955 musical film in which he dances alongside Gene Kelly and Dan Dailey as three war buddies.Well-documented Hollywood lore says that Kelly felt threatened by a Kidd solo in the film and ordered it cut. But more than 40 years later, Kidd expressed no bitterness, saying only that more dancing roles "would have been nice, but I didn't have a burning desire to be a performer."And burning desire was seldom a factor in his dances, which focused on what he called "an exaggeration of ordinary movement." But the movement never looked ordinary when he finished with it, and it never looked exaggerated either, except when he was going for comedy. It looked like a transformation of life into art, the gift of a little guy with a big talent: Michael Kidd, who made it to the finish line with the grace of a champion.

Hanging Out at PBK & OOTD | ashley davis {the blog}
Hanging Out at PBK & OOTD
by Ashley I took Jack to Pottery Barn Kids this morning because I thought the Grinch would actually be at storytime and how could I pass that up. I, also, thought it was at 10, but it’s at 11, which is great because we were running late. We spent a good while looking for Roger, Jack’s elephant. I spend a lot of my life looking for that elephant. OK, that’s a bit dramatic, but it’s how I feel.
OK. Off track.
Since we were early, Jack played and played with the Lionel train set that was set up. He was in love.
I still haven’t decided on a comforter for Jack’s bed. I’m leaning towards a wide navy striped comforter, but something about this one always catches my eye. I love all the colors. A little late to ask Santa. Plus, he’s getting something much cooler than a comforter from Santa, ha! We had to check out the fountain before we left.
We ended up doing more shopping instead of staying for storytime (they were just reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas, no Grinch there). Jack was one of the only kids and all he cared about was the train set anyway. We got to ride the special elevator at Urban Outfitters. I’m not going to lie–I didn’t feel safe in this thing.
I decided to post my outfit of the day, since I haven’t done that in a while. It won’t be a regular thing because I can’t commit, but also, because I re-wear my outfits all the time and then when I see you in person and you realize I’m wearing the same thing I’ve worn everyday for the past week, well, it’s just awkward. For me. Dress: Thrifted
(Running) Leggings: Wal-Marts
Boots: Early birthday gift from my mom (Target)
Dirty Mirror: Laziness
It’s really warm today, so my outfit turned into this:
I normally wear a thin belt with this type of outfit, but I’m having a “I feel fat” day, so no belts allowed. the end.
← Early Celebrations
beth permalink	December 14, 2011 2:45 pm	Sorry story time was a bust! And I’m sorry we missed it! I totally forgot about it, then got home from grocery shopping at 10:30, so I knew we woulndt make it in time! LOVE your scarf! You must teach me how to make one!!!!

Dinic's algorithm or Dinitz's algorithm is a strongly polynomial algorithm for computing the maximum flow in a flow network, conceived in 1970 by Israeli (formerly Soviet) computer scientist Yefim (Chaim) A. Dinitz.[1] The algorithm runs in time and is similar to the Edmonds–Karp algorithm, which runs in time, in that it uses shortest augmenting paths. The introduction of the concepts of the level graph and blocking flow enable Dinic's algorithm to achieve its performance.
Yefim Dinitz invented this algorithm in response to a pre-class exercise in Adel'son-Vel'sky's (co-inventor of AVL trees) Algorithm class. At the time he was not aware of the basic facts regarding Ford-Fulkerson algorithm.[2]
Dinitz mentions inventing his algorithm in January 1969, which was published in 1970 in journal Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR. In 1974, Shimon Even and (his then Ph.D. student) Alon Itai at the Technion in Haifa were very curious and intrigued by the Dinitz's algorithm as well as Alexander Karzanov's idea of blocking flow. However it was hard to decipher these two papers for them, each being limited to four pages to meet the restrictions of journal Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR. However Even did not give up and after three days of effort managed to understand both papers except for the layered network maintenance issue. Over the next couple of years, Even gave lectures on "Dinic's algorithm" mispronouncing the name of the author while popularizing it. Even and Itai also contributed to this algorithm by combining BFS and DFS, which is the current version of algorithm[3]
For about 10 years of time after Ford–Fulkerson algorithm was invented, it was unknown if it can be made to terminate in polynomial time in the generic case of irrational edge capacities. This caused lack of any known polynomial time algorithm that solved max flow problem in generic case. Dinitz algorithm and the Edmonds–Karp algorithm, which was published in 1972, independently showed that in the Ford–Fulkerson algorithm, if each augmenting path is the shortest one, the length of the augmenting paths is non-decreasing and it always terminated.
It can be shown that the number of edges in each blocking flow increases by at least 1 each time and thus there are at most blocking flows in the algorithm, where is the number of vertices in the network. The level graph can be constructed by Breadth-first search in time and a blocking flow in each level graph can be found in time. Hence, the running time of Dinic's algorithm is .
Using a data structure called dynamic trees, the running time of finding a blocking flow in each phase can be reduced to and therefore the running time of Dinic's algorithm can be improved to .
In networks arising during the solution of bipartite matching problem, the number of phases is bounded by , therefore leading to the time bound. The resulting algorithm is also known as Hopcroft–Karp algorithm. More generally, this bound holds for any unit network — a network in which each vertex, except for source and sink, either has a single entering edge of capacity one, or a single outgoing edge of capacity one, and all other capacities are arbitrary integers.[4]
The following is a simulation of Dinic's algorithm. In the level graph , the vertices with labels in red are the values . The paths in blue form a blocking flow.

Liv Write!: New Moon, New Projects
Since another New Moon is upon us, I decided the other day that it would be a good time to de-clutter my home office and make room for some new projects that I’m about to begin. This may sound simple enough, but though I’m not exactly a hoarder, I do tend to hang onto objects--letters, books, photos, papers, and bits of nostalgia like the plastic necklace I was given one year by the Queen at the Renaissance Faire. (Hey, you just never know when a plastic blue necklace bestowed by the Queen is going to come in handy!)
I will be the first to admit that I do have a bit of a clutter problem, and that I’ve never been good at letting go of material objects like stuffed animals and flip flops. I’m not sure why some people are experts at this (I have friends who regularly de-clutter and are loathe to hang on to anything that is not immediately useful), and others who, like me, are equally loath to say good-bye to a perfectly good if bent paper clip or a butterfly candle (that, in my case, can never be lit because it was once a gift I gave to my mother).
Although I’m aware that all this clutter is a) not useful b) distracting and c) possibly even somewhat harmful in terms of its impact on my productivity, I still find it difficult to tackle the project of de-cluttering head-on. Yes, a shelf here and there, a drawer now and then. But to face the overwhelming, well, let’s call it what it is—disaster-- of my workspace is quite daunting. And so…I usually simply close my eyes to my surroundings and write.
After all, writing, not de-cluttering, is my passion. But there comes a time when one must look one’s self squarely in the eye, and ask, “Does that towering pile of books that you never read really serve you well?” or “Does that collection of old diaries really have a purpose?” Or…"Why the decaying macaroni picture that your kid—now 30—made when he was three?”
To welcome and make space for the new-- I’ve been told by the yogic sages as well as by others who call themselves "professional organizers"--we must let go of the old. Still, I find it a challenge to determine whether all clutter is equally useless, or whether some—like the aforementioned necklace—may one day rise from the dust and ashes to inspire a blog.

madebyHULDA: Tilda
One of my friends sent me this image of Tilda from Magnolia and I colored it in months agousing my blender pens and my Watercolor Wonder Crayons from SU. The card is 5.25x5.25 in. so the image is pretty big. the card stock is from SU, Night of Navy, Always Artichoke and Bashful Blue. I think my sister sent me the ribbon from Iceland.
I decided to take my son outside for a photoshoot today, getting ready for the Christmas cards already.
Of course I don't want to reveal my Christmas card photos right away but this one I can show you:
I really like this picture but you can't see his face so I wont use it in my cards ;)

America's Biggest Liars: What Can We Learn From Them About Ourselves? | HuffPost
01/26/2009 02:39 pm ET Updated May 25, 2011
There is a long list of people who lie and unfortunately it's growing these days, whether it's another author whose "memoir" never happened or a chat-room flame who isn't who he claims to be. We've grown wearily accustomed to lies from the heads of our most established institutions--financial, political, or otherwise--but all these liars can still serve to teach us something besides to watch out for our wallets or to swallow big fat ones like weapons of mass destruction and zero-down mortgages.
My personal favorite is Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, whose impeachment trial by the Illinois Senate centers on allegations that he tried to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat. Here's a guy who actually believes the lies he tells the press. "I'm not going to resign," he told the Associated Press. "I've done absolutely nothing wrong."
Instead of showing up for his own impeachment hearing, or at least going quietly away, Blagojevich regularly gives interviews and compares himself to movie heroes and cowboys who were lynched for crimes they didn't commit. On the "Today" show, he compared himself to Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Gandhi--great leaders who had been wrongfully jailed! Back in his office to tape the Today interview (for the first time since charges were filed against him), he was uncomfortable, saying, "it felt like the government had violated him." He sure has that backwards!
Bernie Madoff is equally audacious. Some forensic psychologists have compared the financial con artist to a serial killer like Ted Bundy. His persona was inviting and trustworthy, originally making those whose bank accounts he "murdered" feel safe and secure, and showing absolutely no sense of remorse when his high-rolling betrayal was exposed. Like the Illinois governor, Madoff believes he is above the law. It's a trait shared by psychopaths who believe they will never get caught. As former FBI agent Mr. McCrary said in the New York Times, "Madoff is ... playing financial god, ruining these people and taking their money."
Then there's Casey Anthony, the mother of murdered 3-year-old Caylee Anthony. Casey has been lying since day one, just not as artfully as either of the men just described. She's not nearly as practiced (although her friends have called her an "habitual liar"); her body language gives her away. Take the footage of her in jail. Her parents were sitting across from her, speaking to her on the phone through the glass wall. They asked where the child was and Casey answered, very unconvincingly, and avoiding her parents' eyes, that the child would soon be found. Since the body of her little girl was found just a few blocks from her house, Casey will have to go to Plan B.
So what can we learn from those who are telling whoppers in public? We can look into the mirror these liars offer us - the opportunity to look at the lies we tell, especially the really damaging ones, the ones we tell ourselves. Like when we kid ourselves about how much we eat or drink, or how many pills we're taking. Or how much we're hurting from our last divorce. Or when we insist we had a happy childhood while inside we still bear the scars of abuse. Or that our interest in the guy or gal we work with "isn't sexual, we're just good friends." When we lie to ourselves, we create a split between one part of ourselves and another. The split starts small, but the gulf widens the more we tell ourselves that the stuff we're denying "isn't us." The part of ourselves that we're not willing to own can develop a life of its own and cause a lot of damage downstream to our health and happiness. The Madoffs, Blagojeviches and Anthonys are extreme examples of that split gone wild.
We split off or deny parts of ourselves out of fear - fear of not being loved, of not being accepted. We begin when we're very little - not wanting to admit to ourselves when we're feeling unlovable. When we're little, we're scared to own our own emotions, and we continue that practice into adulthood, often not even aware that we're lying to ourselves. Even the biggest liars, like the ones I've given as examples here, are lying to themselves about why they did whatever they finally got caught doing. So what do we need to do? We need find and acknowledge those scary emotions we've buried--and learn to live our truth. We'll be much healthier and happier when we do so.
Liars Casey Anthony Lie Bernie Madoff Gov Rod Blagojevich

CIENCIASMEDICASNEWS: Listeria Outbreak Prompts Cheese Recall: MedlinePlus
Listeria Outbreak Prompts Cheese Recall: MedlinePlus
1 person dead, 4 sickened; source seems to be Wisconsin company, CDC says
MONDAY, July 8 (HealthDay News) -- A recent listeria outbreak that caused one death and sickened four other people seems to be linked to cheeses made by a Wisconsin firm, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.
An investigation by federal, state and local health agencies indicates that Les Freres, Petit Frere, and Petit Frere with Truffles cheeses made by Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese Company of Waterloo are the likely sources of the outbreak, the CDC said.
The five people who became ill were in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Ohio. All had to be hospitalized and one person in Minnesota died. One illness in a pregnant woman resulted in a miscarriage, according to the CDC.
The dates of the illnesses ranged from May 20 to June 17. The patients' median age was 58 and 80 percent of them were women.
On July 3, Crave Brothers recalled its Les Freres, Petit Frere, and Petit Frere with Truffles cheeses with make dates of July 1, 2013 or earlier due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination, the CDC said.
The recalled cheeses were sold nationwide at retail and foodservice outlets, as well as by mail order. People who bought any of the recalled cheeses should throw them away. It's especially important that pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems not eat the recalled cheeses. These people have the highest risk for infection and serious health problems, the CDC noted.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is conducting an inspection at Crave Brothers' processing facility in coordination with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture.
Each year in the United States, about 800 laboratory-confirmed cases of listeriosis are reported and three or four outbreaks are identified and reported to CDC. Foods that have been linked to outbreaks in recent years include Mexican-style soft cheeses, imported ricotta salata cheese, whole cantaloupe, raw sprouts and precut celery, according to the CDC.

Ted Baker posts higher retail sales for Christmas season - Reuters
Jan 9 (Reuters) - British fashion retailer Ted Baker Plc reported higher retail sales in the holiday period, helped by a surge in online demand and said an investigation into reports related to the conduct of its founder were progressing.
The company, which was founded in 1988 and has more than 500 stores and concessions globally, said on Wednesday that retail sales for the five weeks to Jan. 5 rose 12.2 percent, with an 18.7 percent jump in e-commerce sales.
In December, the company’s CEO and founder Ray Kelvin decided to take a voluntary leave of absence while allegations about his conduct, related in part to his habit of hugging business colleagues, were investigated.

Welcome to Our Little Ladybugs!: August 2007
Years ago, teaching Sunday School, I had the priviledge of meeting some of the most wonderful children the world has ever known. I would not know at the time, the seeds that were being sown for lifelong friendships.
Raven-haired and confident, yet uniquely reserved, Dana entered my life. (and forever captured my heart!) As years would pass, Dana would show herself as a true leader in every sense of the word. She was passionate, compassionate and the type of person everyone wanted to emulate. I recall holding a weeping Dana in my arms on a few occasions,one of which was when her father suffered a heart attack - Dana was still a very young girl. Her father is fine, and recently walked our sweet Dana down the aisle. It was the lovliest of days for two of the lovliest people.
I was with Dana on her very first mission trip, I had the honor of confirming Dana (and her equally magnificent three siblings), we have prayed together countless times and she has become a fiber in the tapestry of my life. Today, I am thankful for Dana. I watched the other day as she gave swim lessons to my daughter and remembered a time when I could hold her on my lap and keep her afloat. I was mesmerized by her beauty and the tenderness with which she approaches everything she does. So, today is in honor of Dana and her exceptional family - how blessed we are to call you friends.

Kim at 3Peanuts posted about a little boy named Jude, who was critically injured in a drowning accident recently. I do not know this handsome little one, nor do I know his family, but I do believe in the power of prayer. You can visit here to read about Jude and his family. Please consider them when you pray today.
UPDATE: Jude's parents report that he looks good, the swelling is gone and though he has not woken up and there is a lack of brain activity, they are trusting God to his care and for the miracle they plan to celebrate. Their faith is astounding, humbling and awe-inspiring. Join me in praying for their miracle to happen soon!

During a recent heat wave, we had some fun outside. Both girls are tousled and not necessarily camera ready, but we had fun, so I thought others might enjoy sharing.
Our plans to head to the beach this weekend were rained out, so we headed to the aquarium because we felt like fishies!

A few years ago, the following conversation occured between my husband and myself.
Him: What if the baby is a GIRL??
Him: The baby - what will I ever do with a girl?
Him: (exasperated sigh) I mean a boy, I will take to baseball games and work on the car, you know.
Me: Yeah, I just don't think it's anything to worry about - you'll know exactly what to do, trust me.
Now, with two girls, we still go to baseball games and work on the car. He built this car with all original VW parts. It is no longer practical, it has no back seat (but quite the kickin' stereo system) and we can't ride in it as a family. So, he is tinkering with the idea of selling it. It is a great conversation piece, except for the fact that it is so loud, you can't hear each other sitting just feet from one another. I love this car, too. On one of our first dates, we went for a ride in this car and having grown up in a "car family", I was totally intrigued. His eyes do that "thing" when he talks about it - "The Bug" and he lights up when Emily says how beautiful it is - red, her favorite color, the color God crayoned her hair! Every now and again, he and Em head out to the carriage house, pull out the car, wash it all up and ride up to the cul-de-sac and back. They think it is a perfect afternoon - I must say, I agree.

Say CHEEESSSSSE, Baby!
"Dink Bobble"
Cause "bobble" is going in sissy's ear!
She's a nurturer, this one! But, make no mistake, when she is finished caring for baby, it is alarming the dexterity Hannah exhibits to toss Baby clear across a room, proclaiming, "ALL DONE!"
Our little girlfriend is on the move...running (oh, we have left walking in the dust) yes, running to our next conquest. Hair flying in the wind, complete with maniacal laugh and the falls that only Pampers can cushion. Here in "the gated community", we have to watch our step these days as Hannah explores and causes her own brand of mischief. Her favorites are closing doors and holding them shut and trying on everyone's shoes (what is it about girls and shoes???) She has begun to get shoes, hand them to us and balance to lift one foot then the other. She is extremely annoyed when she selects a doll shoe, which of course will not fit those pretty little toes. At this point she takes matters into her own hands, plopping down and grunting as though the harder she works the more likely she will actually get that shoe on her foot!
Hannah is also partial to Emily's clothes and (shame on me for not having a camera on hand everytime she has done it) takes off wearing her shirt or unmentionables on her head. Emily laughed so hard the first time, she couldn't breathe. We both laughed - the kind of laugh we all wish we could bottle - the one we heard in our dreams during the long and seemingly endless wait.
This week, I returned to work. I do not work much, enough to help us, not enough to be away much. Being a mom, it is hard no matter how we do it. Fortunately, I have a wonderful mother, who is fabulous with our children and offers herself for the times I cannot be home. (I will never be able to thank you enough, Mom) Buuut, this also makes her "the babysitter". Emily loves the one-on-one time and has always enjoyed those times when Mommy goes to work. For Hannah, this is a new experience and we have practiced. The tears last only seconds (just til I leave the room) but they are still tears - cried by my little one, who has probably cried more in her little life than I would ever want to know about. Hannah always gives my mom, "the look" (many of you have probably seen it!) Today, we had a milestone though...when I returned from work and my mother was leaving, she hugged Em and gave out kisses and then Hannah ran from me to my mom and hugged and kissed her and then did it again! I was overjoyed and Nan? She just beamed!
So, yes, in honor of Thankful Thursday, for this I am truly grateful!

"Each tree is known by it's own fruit." Luke 6:44
Sunday was our agency's China Family Picnic. It was so wonderful to be able to connect again with some families that made the trek to China alongside us. The internet has afforded us so much in providing daily check-ins with families who share the "red thread", but it is in seeing, touching, hugging, connecting that we gain so much.
It occurred to me as I looked around, especially at those from our group, we each had so much to offer each other, regardless of how we may have arrived there or what circumstances led us to our children. Our families are different and that is what makes it so beautiful.
I had the blessing of running into an old friend from one of my first jobs (which I loved - the job and the friend) - she has this gorgeous family and they await a mei mei for their little one. How wonderful - best wishes Jeanne.
We missed families that live far away or could not be there because of other plans, but we manage to connect anyway and I am so thankful for that. A big surprise was seeing Rod, Laura and Hannah. We were thrilled to be in their company, are so happy they made the trip to be there. Our Emily was especially taken with their Hannah as you will see.
We were supposed to be at the beach Sunday - I am grateful we changed our plans and spent some time re-connecting.

Hello all! As you may have noticed, I had my blog blinged. Now, anyone who knows me, knows that there is very little "bling" about me, but I have to say, Sara did a beautiful job finding just the right match for our family. Thanks so much Sara. (You can find her at www.blogdecorator.blogspot.com )
Happy Anniversary! To us and to our little Hannah Banana! We have been married six years today and Hannah has been home for four whole months. When I think back to our wedding day, so bright, full of promise and just bursting with energy, I think to myself ~ this ride has been all I anticipated and so very much more. I can't wait to see what the next year brings! I never expected to find what I have found. Neither did my dear husband, and so we feel blessed. Then, what a rich embellishment to have not one, but two, beautiful daughters that daily amaze us and bring more joy than either of us knew existed.
An impromptu picture taken when we weren't looking! It became our favorite
At the time, I was still with the youth group, in fact, they sang at our wedding - it was truly touching. We were married in a country church high in the hills of the county where we live. It was a hot day, but pretty, and I gazed out the window watching family and friends enter the church. It was electric. The church was filled to capacity and people were even standing ~ practically an entire congregation came to see us wed. Understand, I had married a fellow choir boy earlier in this life of mine. Sadly, that marriage ended in a public and painful divorce (there was a time when I could not even utter the "d" word). I wondered at the time how I would ever minister to those kids - I was broken, wounded and felt like a failure. The truth is, those kids kept my spirit alive - the Lord used that time to heal, raise me up and each day He brought renewed purpose to me. During that time, He also brought to me a gentleman, whom He would have me marry, despite my plan to "never do that again!"
So, at the end of the ceremony when they pronounced us, that church rose to it's feet and there was not only applause, but cheering (we have pictures) and it was incredible.
for a husband who works hard and puts his family first in all instances.
Thankful for his dimples and infectious laugh.
Thankful for his talents and gifts and the way he has shared these with us.
Thankful that his shyness complements my "wear it on my sleeve"-ness.
I am thankful I prayed for him and the Lord answered my prayers.
Then, came the baby carriage. Emily came into this world with a smile on her face. Happy and exuberant, this little girl had a sense of humor early in her little life. She loves Jesus (and will tell you all about Him if you care to listen.)She loves animals and the alphabet, she's learning to read and she loves to sing. Now, with her little sister in tow, she wants to hear all the stories of when she was a baby. It's fun to remember...they grow so quickly.
Finally!! April 4, 2007
And Hannah, well, she's just delightful. She's waving and saying hi now, but don't come too close, because she is not ready for anyone but Mommy and Daddy to hold her. She calls us Mama and Daddy and calls Emily, "Mimi". She tells you when she has to go to the bathroom, and requests a clean diaper when necessary. She's walking and gaining speed and precision everyday. She knows lots of body parts and wants to quiz us daily. Her favorite word these days is "up" and her favorite cup is the orange one with the monkey and a straw. She thinks patty-cake is hysterically funny and asks for it often.(this has replaced the itsy-bitsy-spider which was her favorite!) It is hard to remember the Hannah that got off that plane four months ago, scared and unfamiliar. This little girl binds this family together.
So today, we are thankful...
Thankful the Lord knew Hannah before we did and put us together as only He could do.
Thankful that Hannah knows us, trusts us and grows each day.
Thankful that she likes to play with her sister and vice versa.
Thankful that Emily desires to bring joy to Hannah and gets such joy out of being with her (she wants to be the first to see her in the morning.)
Thankful for all the steps that brought us to this place. It is a beautiful place.

PROTON MANAGEMENT SHUFFLE. LOTUS FUTURE MANAGEMENT TOO?
In today's (31Jan'12) STAR newspaper.
New management team for Proton likely following takeover
It seems DRB-Hicom want their own people running Proton. Group Lotus is under review.
News reports quoting sources said DRB-Hicom was keen to reshuffle Proton's management in the next two to three weeks.
Without wishing to sound arrogant.
The GOLDEN KEY TO UNLOCKING VALUE IN GROUP LOTUS IS LAID OUT BELOW.
Please look at my webpage. http://motorsportuniversitymalaysia.com
Today,(30 Jan '12) I read that Dany Bahar is looking for Investors to buy Group Lotus with him.
I have contacted the last three Group Lotus CEO's regarding my proposal.
One of them was very arrogant and rude, two were polite.
None of them have shown any interest in my proposal.
I hope the person/corporate entity that finally decides to move Group Lotus forward is persuaded by my educational argument.
I presented a paper at the last (2010) ASLI Automotive conference. I shared the stage with some of the Leaders of the Malaysian Auto and Motorsport industry.
Malaysians seem to interested in this. If you go back to one of my earlier blogs May 2010
Motor Sports: National Youth Skills Institute For Motor Sports In The Offing
SERDANG, April 5 (Bernama) — The Youth and Sports Ministry is mulling setting up a National Youth Skills Institute which will focus solely on motor sports, said its minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek.
He said the institute would offer courses related to the engineering and technical aspects of motor sports with the cooperation of the Sepang International Circuit (SIC).
I actually shared the stage with the Sepang Chairman. He never showed any interest in my proposal. Maybe, he likes the proposal but isn't to keen on me!
Anyway, I fully intend to contact the next Group Lotus boss, whoever he or she may be... I'm available.
In the meantime, I'll carry on annoying the guy below!
Dr.Mahathir was kind enough to allow the official ASLI media person snap us shaking hands. Dr. M was the keynote speaker.
Below is a visual from my webpage. Showing how the proposal would work.
PLEASE CLICK ON THE YOUTUBE PRESENTATION BELOW.
THIS IS THE CAMPUS IN JOHOR I WOULD LIKE TO PARTNER WITH!
ADD THE USA CAMPUS. GO TO MY WEBPAGE. THE UK CAMPUS. MAYBE OTHERS AS TIME GOES BY...

I HAVE A PLAN. HIRE ME! John Mansfield
YES I HAVE A PLAN.
PROTON AND GROUP LOTUS HAVE TOP NOTCH MOTORSPORT ARMS.
IF THE NEW OWNERS WANT SOMEONE WITH A PLAN HIRE ME!!
FA Chief Executive 2005 - 2008 Brian Barwick
Here is a portion of a STAR newspaper report on 17 Jan 2012.
The International College of Automotive (ICAM) established by DRB-Hicom can provide one of the best synergies and perhaps be the golden key to Proton's core competence to unlock the future for Proton, he said.
"ICAM, the only local centre of education that offers automotive courses covering both upstream as well as downstream of the total automotive value chain, also prides itself with a unique holistic teaching approach enlisting teaching personnel who are also industry professionals," he said.
Talk to these people about the academic campus down the road from the FIA approved circuit.
This isn't just a Noble idea. It makes financial sense. I cannot believe investors are not lining up for this! Check out my webpage.

A little publicity for the Children's book. Nook may be spun off.
YES IT IS TRUE. ALL ROYALTY PAYMENTS FROM THE UPCOMING CHILDREN'S BOOK WILL GO DIRECTLY TO CHARITY... YES... DIRECTLY TO CHARITY.
INNOCENCE LOST IN THE ICE CREAM FOREST. Buy it with a clear conscience.
The book has been finished from a story and illustration perspective. Now Tilo my unpaid graphic expert will configure the book in epub for upload.
Today, I see NOOK the eReader arm of Barnes and Noble may be spun off. eBook sales have risen dramatically in the last year. The stock of Barnes and Noble has dropped.
INNOCENCE will be available on all major eReader sites and devices. The printed book will be on Amazon plus available in bookshops.
From an educational perspective, eBooks are great. No great big expensive pile of books to lug around. Download the books and then carry a reader or laptop.
Obviously, educational lectures and materials can also be downloaded.
My concept of twinning physical campuses and virtual learning makes more and more sense with each passing day.

Ready For Some Football | LCCC Life on Campus
Whether you love the Broncons, Steelers or Greenbay there is nothing better than watching your son or daughter play football. Youth Tackle Football is here in Cheyenne pads and all. It starts for kids in 3rd grade and goes through 6th grade. http://www.cheyennecity.org/index.aspx?NID=1867
Basically the league is real football with a few exceptions. Players are placed on teams based on the Jr. High/High School district they live in. All teams players are required to play in a minimum of 12 plays, 8 of which have to be on offense and/or defense or a combination of both during the course of the game. The league is meant to teach the fundamentals of the game. In hopes of developing the boys into better football players. The league is not meant to be a win at all cost league. The time clock will be a modified 8 minute clock. The league follows all Jr High School football rules with a few exceptions for the 3rd & 4th grade division. The field is 100 yards in length and is 2/3 normal width.
Click here for some more action!
Youth sports have been a positive thing for kids for year. Youth sports seem to get more and more competitive every year. However with all the negatives come many positives. “Youth sports can have positive effects in the lives of the participants. Children reap many benefits from playing sports, including self-discipline, self-confidence, a healthier body, and stronger relationships with peers and adults.” explains Eileen Breeze, from Demand Media in her post The Benefits of Youth Sports http://yourhealthybody.jillianmichaels.com/benefits-youth-sports-1883.html There is a ton of research out there that proves that sports have more positives than negatives. So if you’re not interested in the Cheyenne Youth Hockey League https://lccclifeoncampus.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/gotta-do-kids/ then give football a try.

Speed, Traffic & Humanity | Surface Earth
← Alec Baldwin & Parental Alienation	Hello New World…habitable planet…Gliese 581 →
Posted on May 1, 2007 by Surface Earth under Corzine, Culture, New Jersey, Traffic	Having spent some recent time on the New Jersey Turnpike and Parkway….I pause…and wonder if there is something we can do for each other.
This entry was tagged Current Events, Humanity, New Jersey. Bookmark the permalink.
2 thoughts on “Speed, Traffic & Humanity”	Manymeez	May 10, 2007 at 2:17 pm	You know SurfaceEarth…you nailed it with this one. It’s amazing how self-centered people are when it comes to driving. One can really tell a lot about a person by the way they drive. I’m on the road many hours a day, in several different vehicles, and it’s amazing what you see on the road. Here in North Carolina, we we’re voted as one of the worst states in two categories. One for driving safety, N.C. has the worst record for accidents… and in the beautiful state of N.C. people are less likely to use a turn signal than in other states. I guess the folks here just assume that everyone just knows what they’re going to do. But I’m really tired of all of the inconsiderate, selfish people who act as though what they need to do and where they’re going is more important than what anyone else is doing. People don’t seem to realize that a vehicle can be a deadly weapon, and it can kill if it’s not used with caution. I’ve been driving for 22 years, and have never had an at fault accident, never had a speeding ticket, or traffic violation of any kind. (oops, where’s some wood I can knock on, quick?) I’m proud of that. Not to say I haven’t made mistakes, we all do…but one does not get that kind of record by accident. Not only in driving, but in life we need to pay attention to our fellow traveler’s…pull our heads out of our own a**es, and realize we are not the center of the universe. Thanks for the space to rant!
SurfaceEarth	May 13, 2007 at 8:21 pm	Coffeegrounds, it is clear that you are a better driver than I am now or ever was. Kudos.
I do think the road is a reflection of how we treat each other in all other avenues of life.
It amazes me how we put so much trust in each other, throwing ourselves into these hulking metal contraptions, pushing down onto a system of combustible materials, careening toward one another, passing, sometimes within inches of each other at sixty miles an hour or more.

yes Bulk insert is not that smart but you can use a format file to import the data or the other way would be using SSIS.
the format file will look like this :

Thanks, Prashanth. We are not allowed to do Distributed Queries and that is the reason. The only option that I have is getting the csv file using bulk insert as a single blob and parse out the columns. The data comes with " as text qualifier. But the issue is BULK INSERT is not intelligent enough to take text qualifier into consideration so, its splitting out a single column into multiple columns inside the qualifier which is making the statement to fail.
The other option that I could try is using a format file and that should be pretty much straight forward but we are not allowed to.
What are the other viable options?

Stormshaper hit level 76 today, questing in Dragonblight. With only four levels to go before she hits the level cap I thought it would be prudent to try and get some level 80 gear for her so that she can stand half a chance in the heroic runs she’ll embark on.

Super friendly bloke and a lovely place. Recommended a nice place for dinner and gave us our own space when we needed it and was open to chat the rest of the time. Fully recommend this place

Show me your muscles! | Adcox family's Blog
June 17, 2012 by adcoxfamily
Today is Father’s Day. A day set aside to remind all children to pay respect to their fathers. Typically this is a day to express appreciation for the love and care they have received and are receiving from their fathers. Since our boys are too young to express their appreciation beyond the daily hugs and kisses that never do grow old, I would like to take this moment to extend my perspective on how their father is an instrumental part of their little lives.
Dear Justice and Archer, did you know that your Father loves spending every free minute of his time playing, reading and learning about each of you. As you boys continue to grow, I hope and pray that you will continue to love the time you have with your Dad. May your life be filled with fun memories of all the fun times you will share. However, just as important, may you also remember and inherit the strong attributes of your father. Pay attention, boys, as he leads by example on how to be a strong, honest provider for our family, strong in moral character to do what is right, a strong loving husband, and a strong man of God. My prayer this Father’s Day is that you boys will acquire these attributes and pass them on for generations to come. That, in my eyes, is the best Father’s Day present you boys could ever give.
