It says:
"In man, binocular vision is about 140 degrees out of a total of about 180 degrees. In a pigeon though the binocular area is only 20-30 degrees out of a total field of vision of 300-340 degrees. In many raptors and owls the situation is different. In these birds, as in many insectivorous birds, binocular vision, important in making judgements of distance, is more necessary and so these birds have their eyes more towards the front of their heads. This is most evident in owls where the total field of view is reduced to about 110 degrees with a binocular vision of 70 degrees. This is why owls turn their heads to watch you walk past. An owl can turn its head through over 200 degrees but cannot move its eyes in its head at all."
Maybe the lack of binocular vision makes littler birds more likely to fail to see glass for what it is.

So, I'm trying to cut back on my diet coke habit....I've only had two 44ozers since last Monday, and I'm trying to only have it on Saturdays..........but I can honestly say that I've got such a craving for one right this minute that I don't know if I can wait until tomorrow.......ACK! I can literally taste it, I want that sweet bubbly goodness RIGHT NOW!!! Have any of you tried to kick a habit? It's dang hard....what did you do to succeed? Or, at least cut back significantly? Any tips, hints, or ideas would be appreciated!! ;)

Oh could this card be any sweeter?!? How adorable!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for playing along with us at Cupcake Inspirations!
Rene :D
Very cute card! I gave up Diet sodas for about a month and then traveling end up drinking them again. Trying to go cold turkey as of today. It is so hard!ReplyDelete
Cute card!ReplyDelete
re: pop drinking - Good luck! You can do it!
Everyone is different, but "cutting back" didn't work for me - I had to cut it cold turkey. And I did, on Jan.1. It's the most addictive thing I've ever had to kick. It was awful! I'd say it took 2 full months to not be cranky about it, and it's still hard.
Now the deal I have with myself is that I can have a can if we have pizza (how can you eat pizza without pop?!). I'm finally at a point where I don't feel like it's going to throw me back into cravings and addiction.
one word----ADORABLE! what a cute image!ReplyDelete
O-M-G Sharla, this card is freaking CA-UTE! Seriously, I love everything about it! As for the DC, I have no suggestions. I'm hooked on coffee but only allow myself one cup a day. But boy do I enjoy that one cup a day :) That's what I get out out of bed for!ReplyDelete
This is so sweet. Thank you for playing along with Birthday Sundaes!ReplyDelete
Oh how cute; love the image! Love the colors!ReplyDelete
Thanks for joining us at Cupcake Inspirations; your card is fabulous!
This is so sweet! Great job! Thanks for playing along with this week's Birthday Sundaes challenge!ReplyDelete
those bugaboos just crack me up, this one is too too cute.ReplyDelete
thanks for playing with us at Cupcake Inspiratons. I hope you come back again.
I know your neighbor is going to love this card.
Oh that card is so sweet. What a cute image. Love it! I weaned myself off of diet soda a few years ago. The biggest thing that helped me was brewing iced tea all the time to have a beverage replacement and a caffeine replacement. It's not the same, but it helped. Automatically ask for water where ever you go and don't even allow soda to be an option. It's SOOOO HARD, but worth it. I really miss the fizz but when I need it I mix some diet 7-up with some V8 fusion juice and that feeds the craving. Then I go back to tea and water. You can do it! Good luck.ReplyDelete
Oh I hear you on the pop habit. I have been trying to kick drinking Coke for a while now. I did quit a few years ago. The only way that worked for me was "cold turkey"ReplyDelete
Your card is so adorable. Love the colours and that image is just so cute.
I have a card for you and all the other women who left such sweet comments on my blog for last week.
OMGosh, this is adorable! You added such pretty embellishments ... so cute! Thanks for playing at Pals Paper Arts!ReplyDelete

Survey of
Historic Sites and Buildings
William Whipple, a signer from New Hampshire, was a native of Kittery, now in Maine but then in Massachusetts. Born in this house in 1730, he probably lived in it until, like many boys of the locality, he went to sea. About 1760 he abandoned his life as a seaman and took up residence in Portsmouth, N.H.
This handsome frame residence, the only one extant associated with a signer in Maine, occupies a picturesque setting on a small cove along the Piscataqua River. The two-story building has been considerably altered and enlarged over the years, but it is in excellent condition and rests on original foundations. It has been painted red since at least 1873.
In its present form the house is Georgian in style with a central hall plan. The exterior walls are clapboarded. On the east, or front, elevation a round arch window on the second story sits over a pedimented center door. The ell at the rear is a 20th-century addition. A slight overhang on the south end of the house indicates that it may once have been a garrison house, and that the upper story projected over the first. This portion of the house was constructed of hemlock, square-dovetailed at the corners. At some later date, the structure was enlarged, and in the mid-19th century the exterior was completely renovated.
The residence originally featured a center chimney floor plan. In the 19th century the central chimney was removed and a center hall with stairway added, as well as two small interior chimneys with fireplaces, one at each side of the hall. On the first floor, to the south of the hall, is the bedroom where Whipple was born; to the north, a large parlor. The original kitchen is located to the rear, or west, of the center hall and parlor.
Privately occupied, the house is not open to the public.

I am a recently retired Cardiologist. This Memoir tracks what I refer to as a "para-biography;" life experiences which serve as the core for the ongoing layers of an onion skin that produces a unique personality and a unique personal philosophy. Sigmund Freud might agree that a child's personality develops inductively from the inside-out; but would have to be peeled back deductively from the outside-in when eventually untangled as an adult. It also demonstrates that viewpoints are mutable, then change and evolve over time.
My beliefs are personal, and as such should be taken with the grain of salt that does not require debate. For the most part, if reading to the end; one will see that a great deal of it becomes somewhat ecumenical. This is a long journey which will be published incrementally.

"Representative Parker will be introducing a bill to provide the City of Philadelphia with additional authority to collect delinquent property taxes.
Philadelphia needs additional tools to effectively collect delinquent property taxes from speculators who own vacant, blighted tax delinquent properties and from investors who purchase and rent properties and fail to pay their property taxes. An analysis of delinquent property taxes shows that many non-residents own ten, twenty or more properties that are tax delinquent, vacant or abandoned. Non-resident investors own rental properties that not only have code violations but are delinquent in paying their property taxes.
Simply putting a lien on the specific property that is delinquent has not been sufficient to cause payments to be made. The City needs the lien to be placed against all of the property owners' real estate located within the Commonwealth. Then, when the property owner attempts to sell any of his/her property located within the Commonwealth, the lien must be satisfied."

Switzerland said it would make a decision on extradition based on a hearing and on information provided by Polanski's lawyer, but that there was no deadline. "We will take the time that is needed," justice ministry spokesman Folco Galli said. Polanski will be able to appeal against any extradition decision to the Swiss Federal Criminal Court and, in the last instance, the Federal Supreme Court, the ministry said. The 76-year-old Oscar-winning director, who holds dual French and Polish citizenship, was arrested to comply with a U.S. warrant when he flew into Switzerland on September 26 to receive a lifetime achievement award at a film festival. Polanski fled the United States when he was due to be sentenced for having unlawful sex with a girl aged 13. U.S. judicial sources have said the extradition process is complex and could take years if Polanski challenges it. A Swiss court this week rejected a bid by Polanski for release on bail, saying the risk that he would flee was too high. Polanski's lawyer Herve Temime told Reuters that his client's strategy remained unchanged. "Mr. Polanski will continue to fight this extradition request and demand that he be freed," he said. TURBULENT LIFE Polanski was originally indicted on six charges, including rape, for having sex after plying the girl with champagne and drugs. He pleaded guilty to a single count of having sex with a minor and spent 42 days in prison undergoing psychiatric tests. But he fled the United States before the case was concluded because he believed a judge would sentence him to up to 50 years behind bars despite a plea agreement for time already served. The Swiss ministry noted that Polanski had admitted to unlawful sex with a minor during the U.S. investigation: "He is wanted by the U.S. authorities with a view to passing sentence for this offence," it said. Polanski has avoided countries such as Britain that have extradition treaties with the United States, but he repeatedly visited Switzerland, where he owns a chalet in the mountain resort of Gstaad, though he was only arrested on this occasion.

2018: The Biggest Year for Open Source Software Ever!
Open Source Software (OSS) businesses have experienced massive exits throughout 2018. Mega-acquisitions like Salesforce buying MuleSoft for $6.5B and large IPOes like Pivotal at $3.9B underscore the market's appetite for open source startups. Last week Elastic filed its S-1 and has the potential to achieve a +$3B IPO. In addition to Elastic, there is a healthy pipeline of high growth later stage OSS startups that will likely exit at unicorn valuations. The impressive exits demonstrate OSS startups can achieve outsized returns, and 2018 will be remembered as the year of OSS.
Historically the market for large scale acquisitions of OSS businesses was just OK. In January 2008 Sun Microsystems acquired MySQL for $1B, the largest OSS acquisition up till then. MySQL's acquisition validated the possibility that an OSS business could achieve a three-comma exit.
Since then, OSS businesses have continued to be acquired but usually for $250M or less. Red Hat is one of the most active acquirers and has bought CoreOS, Ansible, Inktank Storage, and Gluster.
2018 is a break out year for OSS acquisitions. Three seven figure acquisitions occurred over the past three months including MuleSoft, Magento, and Suse. The $6.5B MuleSoft acquisition is also the largest ever achieved in the category. Before the recent buying spree, it was almost five years ago, in October 2013, when Cisco acquired Sourcefire that an OSS business was bought for over $1B.
In July Microsoft acquired GitHub, a git-based code sharing and collaboration service that hosts +29M public repositories, for $7.5B. While not an OSS startup directly, GitHub is at the center of the OSS ecosystem, and the huge acquisition highlights the market's vibrancy.
Six OSS businesses IPO-ed over the past four years. On April 20, 2018, Pivotal achieved the largest OSS IPO ever with a $3.9B TEV at the end of its first day of trading. Previously Red Hat's August 11, 1999 public offering valuing the business at $3.4B TEV held the record for the largest OSS IPO. It took almost 20 years for Pivotal to break Red Hat's record.
Last week Elastic, a data search solutions startup, unveiled its S-1 and plans to raise about $100M. Over the last twelve months (LTM) Elastic achieved $185M in revenue, above the cohort median of $156M. The company's 79% YoY growth is also higher than the group median of 64%.
Elastic's LTM revenue and growth rate most closely mirrors MuleSoft. Applying MuleSoft' first trading day 17.4x TEV/LTM revenue to Elastic's $185M LTM revenue suggests a $3.2B TEV. According to Pitchbook, Elastic's last private post-money valuation was $700M so theoretically there is a 4.6x upside.
In addition to Elastic's upcoming public offering, there is a strong pipeline of at least 15 OSS businesses that could IPO. Many of them have already achieved a $500M post-money valuation.
2018 has been the hottest year for OSS exits ever. From MuleSoft's acquisition to Pivotal's IPO, the market has been on fire. We have our eye on Elastic's upcoming IPO, and the strong pipeline of potential IPO candidates. The days of questioning whether open source business models could achieve returns expected by venture capitalists are over. It is clear OSS startups can evolve into large enduring businesses with outsized exits.

One a recent walk my two-year old grandson, Samuel put his hands in his pockets shortly before he and I raced towards his aunt. With no hands to break his fall, Samuel fell flat on his face in a place where sharp rocks lay exposed. Blood gushed from his top lip! His defenses were locked up in his pockets!
Yesterday, I received a prophetic word about 2012. As I read it, I thought that's frightening! Interestingly, the author observed that in 2012, each believer must take authority over crazy weather patterns and fear-producing natural disasters in his own environment just as Jesus did over the storm on the Sea of Galilee.
Upon reflection, I saw the position declaration will have in the upcoming year. It is time for all hands to be on deck so to speak!
This is not a day to run with your hands in your pockets. This is a day to be ready for what might rise up to meet you in 2012! Lesson learned. No running with hands off attitude! Bring every part of you into the action.
Gather together and come!
Declare what is to be!
Then watch God open the gates and reveal hidden treasure so that his name will be glorified!

How Long Will it Take to Have My Divorce Finalized?
One of the questions most commonly asked by people going through a divorce is, "How long will the process take?" Though divorces are often necessary, the process itself is rarely pleasant, and most people look forward to the day when they can put it behind them. It's understandable that you want to be through with it as soon as possible. If you have any questions about your divorce or how long you can expect the proceedings to take, contact the San Diego divorce attorneys of Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP by calling 858-935-6211 today.
The truth of the matter is that every divorce is unique, and it's impossible to gauge exactly how long they will take. Some divorces can be finalized in a matter of weeks, while others may take significantly longer. It all depends on your marriage and your circumstances.
Generally, however, there are a few indicators which determine the general course a divorce will take. The most common include:
- How combative the divorce is. If you and your spouse have reached a mutual understanding that it's time to amicably part ways, your divorce will probably go smoother and quicker than the divorce of a couple fighting over every detail.
- Whether or not you have children. Children are an important factor in any marriage, and you have to be careful when determining their future. If you and your spouse have children, the divorce may take a little longer as you decide issues of child custody and child support payments.
- Whether or not you have a lot of mutual property. When you get divorced, you need to determine who walks away with what. The more possessions you have, and the more real estate property you own, the longer the divorce will probably take.
It's important to understand, though, that many people getting divorces have already determined the general division of property and debt, and have already had discussions about the children. If you know what to expect going in, you can greatly reduce the waiting period.

Mike's Top FAQs About Divorce401K plans and divorce
401K plans and divorce
Question Detail
If my spouse waives his right to my 401k plan, is there any circumstance that the court will still award him half or a portion of my 401k plan?
It is theoretically possible that a court can disturb an agreement to waive rights to property, but it is unlikely. Courts will generally treat agreements as contracts, and thus are likely to strike an agreement only if it is unconscionable, induced by fraud, undue influence, duress or is against public policy. The judge cannot "reject," nullify, or modify the provisions of an agreement merely because of his or her personal belief that a different arrangement should be made.
A marital settlement agreement, or MSA, can be used as a contract between spouses regarding the division of property that would otherwise be subject to community property laws. An MSA is subject to general contract laws, meaning that it can be found invalid if terms are against public policy (which includes, but is not limited to, (a) abrogating the statutory child support duty or impinging on the court's jurisdiction to award child support, (b) limiting the court's exercise of child custody jurisdiction, (c) "altering legal relations," (d) "promoting dissolution," and (e) providing for "fault"-based penalties at marriage dissolution) . The MSA can also be found invalid if entered into as a result of fraud, duress, menace, undue influence, or other factors which may make the agreement void or invalid. Generally, an agreement such as the MSA is favored. Hence, if there are no legal or equitable grounds for rescission or reformation it is binding on the parties and the court without express approval.

Can I get child support in California if I am not getting a divorce?
Question Detail
I have been separated for two years from my wife, and my kids live with me. Can I get support without filing for divorce in California? We have not been living together since our separation, and even file taxes separately.
You do not need to file for divorce in order to get support. You will need to go through the court to obtain a child support order so you will have to file something. You can contact your local Department of Child support services office and they can help you get started. So while you do not have to file for divorce, you can file for a legal separation. The court needs to know that you two have in fact separated and there is one parent who is the full time provides and therefore in need of support.

Can I move out with my daughter before the divorce in California?
Question Detail
My wife and I are going to divorce, but we have not filed yet. We are always fighting, and my daughter, who is 7, is very stressed with the way we are living. Can I move out with her, if I do not move far away and let him see her all the time? He is not happy with my choice. Is this legal?
Yes, you can move out with your daughter, assuming there are no court orders already in place regarding custody and visitation. It is important to maintain frequent and continuing contact between the child and the other parent. When the court makes custody and visitation orders they will look highly upon the parent who facilitated contact with the child and the other parent. It is important to make the transition as easy as possible for the child.

Question: Is there a statute of limitations on owed child support?
Question Detail
An ex lover of mine (20 years ago) just approached me out of nowhere about getting tested to see if her son is my child. He is 20 and I live in California. I am trying to find the statue of limitations for child support if indeed I take the test and the child turns out to be mine.
Unless the mother has made a claim for child support with the welfare office or her local Department of child support services office, they cannot now collect from you on child support. Since he is no longer a minor child now that he is emancipated, there are no obligations for child support. You can get tested to see if you are the father, but you do not have to.
If the state has paid out welfare for the child, and it turns out that you are the Father, there can be some potential liability there with having to pay back the state the money they paid out. If this is not an issue, then they cannot now ask you to pay for child support.
Posted in: Enforcement, Family Law, Spousal Support / Alimony
Is the opinion of the child ever taken into consideration in a divorce?
Typically the Courts will take the child's opinion into consideration at the age of 12. There is no set age, it depends on the maturity level of the child. If a child is of sufficient age and capacity to form an intelligent preference to custody the court can take it into consideration. It is important to note that all judges will rule for what is in the child's best interests whether it be for the mother or the father.

China is using the Olympics as the steamroller for a vast array of infrastructural developments that just happen to also be destroying a lot of artifacts. If Rome is the best place to currently ponder the eternal battle between Archaeology and the Art Market, then China is the best place consider the nexus of Urban Development, Cultural Destruction, and Wholesale Tomb Raiding.
Across China, the same story is repeated of massive projects unearthing fascinating finds, but only cherry-picking looters seem to get access before the relentless force of progress entombs it in concrete so they can build a skeet-shooting pavilion…or something. The story, reported in the IHT, bears eerie resemblance to the testimony of an Italian Archaeologist/Looter, Pietro Casasanta, who stated at the ongoing trial of Marion "Tomb Raider" True:
mostly he defended his profession, claiming that through his nighttime forays, thousands of works of art were saved from potential destruction by future urban development. "If it weren't for tomb robbers, people wouldn't be seeing vases in museums," he said. "I deserve to be nominated as a lifetime senator for the cultural pleasure I have allowed people to have."
But with so much fresh authentic loot entering the Chinese art market, the concern on everyone's mind is: will this disastrously undercut the thriving market in fakes?

Once there were these fishermen who never fished. They traveled around and went to conferences about fishing. They blogged about fishing. They debated about proper fishing technics. They argued about whether using a fishing pole or net or your bare hands was the proper way to fish. They discussed the pros and cons of using a boat; of fishing from the peer; of standing in the middle of a river. They were fishing scholars who never practiced any of the technics they considered themselves to be experts of. They were articulate and well educated, having a doctorate in ixthology. However, they had never caught a single fish because they never went fishing.
Luke 6:46-49 begins with a question which is followed by a parable illustrating the question. The question is "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord' and do not do what I say?" It seems likely that "Lord" means more than "sir" here. A respectful greeting does not require obedience. The word can mean "owner" referring to the master of an estate. It was also used for kings who were considered to be divine. Some suggest that in this context it may have to do with calling Jesus something like "rabbi." The question suggests that the word refers to some kind of authority; the Lord expects to not only be listened to, but obeyed. This would fit the rabbi/disciple relationship. Jesus is more than a guru spewing words or wisdom so that people will be impressed. He fully expects people to alter how they live based on his message. There will always be people who will name Jesus "Lord" without any impact on their lives. Clearly, this is not what Jesus asked of us. Nope! He asked so much more.
The person who hears Jesus' message and practices it; is transformed by it, is like a man who built a house well. He dug – he went deep – and laid his foundation on the bedrock. Many translations throw the words "dig" and "go deep" together and translate "dug deep." It seems better to keep them as two verbs: "He dug; he went down deep." This would emphasize the effort. Bailey states that every builder in Palestine understands that you always dig until you reach bedrock. This is often very hard work because the clay in Palestine, during the dry season, having been baked by the sun, is extremely hard. But during the rainy season, this clay softens and shifts. If you are going to claim Jesus as Lord you are going to work hard. His message is more than nice pithy sayings. They are life forming mantras; words to live by. So you dig; you go down deep and you lay your foundation on the bedrock. When the river overruns its banks and the torrent crashes against your house, it will stand because it has been built well.
But the one who has heard, but doesn't change his life; doesn't obey; doesn't act – he is like a person who lazily builds his house. He lays his foundation on top of the ground. It seems solid. Why work so hard to get to the bedrock? He might as well not even have a foundation. When the torrent crashes against his house, the clay is softened and washed right out from underneath the house and it collapses in on itself. The word "ruin" has the idea of "being split open." It is a medical term for a laceration or rupture. Building a house is always a large investment of resources and time. So, even though this builder lazily decided to not dig, not to go down deep, he has worked hard and has sunk a lot of money into this house. And now? Well, now it lies split open, having collapsed on itself. The person who wants to name Jesus as Lord, but doesn't want to go down deep, may as well not build at all. All of his investment; all of his work; will lay in ruins.
Jesus is not just a wise teacher. He is the Lord; the owner; the divine king. And if you hear the Lord tell you to measure out forgiveness and generosity and you say, "Well, that's a nice thought, but there are things I refuse to forgive," your house will split open. There is no foundation here. Just clay that will not withstand the crashing torrent. And does it matter whether the torrent references the painful moments of life or the judgment of God? The end result is the same: ruin!
Sometimes it seems as if many are willing to listen to people who do not live Jesus merely because they have a degree and are well educated and articulate. Not every scholar fits this description. But some do. They debate; they lecture; they write books. But they have not dug – they have not gone down deep. The message of Jesus is merely an ancient text to be dissected and pontificate over. Their fishing poles have never been wet. Don't be distracted. Dig – go down deep! Hear and do! Grace and peace, Walter

Hubby and Vet2Be checked on the bees last Saturday. The were thrilled with how the bees were doing. They are building comb and the queen is laying eggs.
The bees had connected one frame to a frame in the box above. When Hubby and Vet2Be took off the top box, they heard a 'pop' as the comb separated. The burr comb had some larva in it so Hubby brought it in the house so we could see what the larva look like.

Click the above for CLEARER Bad Mood Ideas!!!
FIRST of all, I'm RELUCTANT to blog more, yet -- the two postings from yesterday having propelled this blog to NEARLY 1,000 REGISTERED HITS!!! Readers and Bloggers know, that Law Enforcement, the Press, Politicians, and SERIOUS Criminals as well as just Privacy Buffs use software so that they DON'T register hits. But THIS posting was what got the MOST HITS:
So far, I have only had about six postings that have run things up to or near 1,000 hits or more -- and early this year, I actually BROKE 7,200 hits in one day!!!
And even my book-in-blog-format is getting TONS OF HITS, lately:
LOOK WHICH COUNTRIES like to read about Tennessee Williams:
This is for the last seven days -- but except for Germany -- nearly ALL are from the last three days.
And speaking of BAD MOODS, look what I answered FIRST THING TODAY:

(I SHOULD have also included my Democratic NC Representative Deb Butler -- since she is seriously mentioned within this.)
"Regular people" have always preferred to READ IT when I blog about them, but I guess you STILL are not into paying attention to FACTS and CRIMES -- especially your own.
You seem to have been proven CORRECT by first getting my first Summons of you for Cyberstalking kicked out by someone in D.A. Ben David's office, and when I re-filed it, the Sheriff's Deputies still HAVE it, but claim they don't know how to find you -- although I suggested just calling you to make arrangements -- like I did when I Summoned David Alan Young for Communicating Threats last summer -- and they served him within two days.
Democrat Rep. Deb Butler -- your Political Mentor -- has REFUSED to clarify her relationship to you, so I have to ASSUME she IS your mentor, and your Politics being the OPPOSITE, perhaps that is Drug-Mafia Mentoring!!!
But I am NOT FINISHED getting you served. I will go to the State level next -- and then to the Feds. After all, there HAS to be a reason that the Sheriff and D.A. REFUSE to bring to Court a Summons that BOTH Magistrates said would be a "SLAM-DUNK CASE"!!!
But I will honor your request -- like I previously did with only very occasional exceptions for when I really LOADED the blog with evidence and/or claims damning to you.

The STRICT MUSLIM Taliban Government DESTROYED all the Opium Crop for RELIGIOUS REASONS.
They are NOT Christians, who LOVE making money off addictive drugs.
In early 2010 at "pit stops" along the stretch of I-85 between Atlanta and the Alabama border -- and the I-185 spur to Columbus -- FOUR TIMES I ran into convoys of Marines in uniform also stopping to eat or for "relief".

And they ALL claimed the same thing, and YESTERDAY'S Marine and I discussed that the REASON so many in the US Services return from the Middle East with SERIOUS PTSD is because they have PARTICIPATED in the CIA Drug Trafficking -- AND NO ONE WILL BELIEVE THEM!!!
And then many have to be super-medicated to forget -- or simply DISAPPEARED by the US Government -- like they USED TO try to do to me -- but NOW only won't let me file CHARGES against a PROTECTOR of Wilmington's Drug Traffickers, Jonathan Deputy:

Not too many exciting things to write about this week. Just lots of practicing keeping both eyes on and pointed at the same thing.
We continued to do mirror overlap. Previously I had only been putting the mirror over my left eye, because that was the easiest way for me to fuse. For this session, we starting covering my right eye with the mirror. Then we started using smaller mirrors to fuse with. Like usual, we start out with something I can do (or almost do), and then make it more difficult and complicated over a few weeks.
We also came back to the Brock string, to practice seeing the X again. I'm getting better!
We worked on tracking while fusing, too. I have gotten pretty good at seeing the red/green playing cards all at once, so now I'm trying to do it while moving my eyes.
Finally, we played around with vectograms, which are polarized black and white images that appear 3D with polarized glasses. They are nice because you can project them really big on the wall with an overhead projector. I had played around with vectograms in the beginning of my vision therapy without much success. This time, I didn't see in 3D either, but I got the strangest sensation in my eyes when I looked at the vectogram. It felt like my eyes were... I don't know, bugging out of my head. Not in a bad way, though, but in a new and exciting fun way. I had never felt anything like that before, so I was quite happy. It felt like something was stirring inside of my visual system. Hurray for progress!

Lawmakers' frustration with Attorney General Eric Holder over an ongoing security leak probe and the botched Fast and Furious gunrunning operation boiled over Tuesday, with a top Republican lawmaker calling on Holder to resign.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, made the call for Holder's resignation during a Senate hearing late Tuesday morning. It came in the context of GOP concerns about Holder's decision to appoint two lawyers from within his department to handle the politically sensitive leak probe -- as well as concerns about Fast and Furious.
"I would say that you leave me no alternative but to join those that call upon you to resign your office," Cornyn said. "Americans deserve an attorney general that will be honest with them, they deserve an attorney general who will uphold the basic standards of political independence and accountability. You've proven time and time again, sadly, that you're unwilling to do so"...
Senate Democrats and backers of gay marriage won a key victory Thursday in their quest to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, but it's unclear where it will go next.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-8 along party lines in favor for the Respect for Marriage Act, a bill sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that would repeal the Clinton-era law that defined marriage between a man and a woman.
"Because of DOMA, thousands of American families are now being treated unfairly by the federal government," said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). "This unfairness must end."
Committee Republicans, noting that the bill faces bleak prospects for passing the full Congress, said the measure was a waste of time and the matter should be left up to the states. Six states – Iowa, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, as well as the District of Columbia – now recognize gay marriage.
Texas Sen.
WASHINGTON -- To hear Senate Republicans tell it, the defeat of their attempt to repeal the Democrats' health care overhaul was really a victory of sorts on the long the march to the 2012 congressional and presidential elections.
The repeal effort sank Wednesday along party lines, 51-47 as expected. But in the process, Republicans forced Democrats on the record in favor of President Barack Obama's signature overhaul and launched what they described as a two-year effort to discredit it in the lead-up to a bid for a second term.
"These are the first steps in a long road that will culminate in 2012, whereby we will expose the flaws and the weaknesses in this legislation," said Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the party's campaign chief...
The Senate may vote as early as this week on legislation that would repeal the Obamacare law that contains abortion and rationing concerns of pro-life groups. The vote would come on the heels of a ruling by a federal judge declaring the law unconstitutional.
Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, said today the Senate may vote on the House-passed legislation this week, putting on Twitter: "Vote on health care repeal could come as early as this week in the Senate."
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, both of whom are pro-life, have led the way in the effort to repeal the Obamacare legislation. last week, McConnell started the process of attempting to get the Senate to repeal the law by employing a Senate rule typically reserved for party leaders that allows them to bypass committee action on legislation and place the bill directly before the Senate...
The phone in Sen. John Thune's office is about to start ringing -- a lot.
The South Dakota Republican -- who also leads the Senate GOP Policy Committee and is widely viewed as a 2012 presidential contender --is up for re-election this year. But no Democrat or Independent filed to run against him, leaving him with plenty of time and money to help Republicans win seats this November as the party seeks to regain a true sense of relevancy on Capitol Hill.
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn (Texas) said Thursday he planned to meet with Thune soon to explore ways the up-and-coming first-term Senator could help the NRSC and GOP candidates from now until Election Day. Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) added that he fully expects Thune to be a strong political asset over the next 135 days...
Having strong GOP candidates in the election is "90 percent of the game," Sen. John Cornyn, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign, said Monday, noting that Scott Brown's U.S. Senate victory in Massachusetts has made his job a lot easier these days.
"We've heard from a lot of people who previously said they were not going to run and telling us now they're reconsidering," Cornyn said, adding that "a great range" of high-quality candidates are emerging across the country.
One of the most prominent examples is the Arkansas race for incumbent Democrat Sen. Blanche Lincoln's seat. Republican Rep. John Boozman of Arkansas says Brown's upset win convinced him that now is the right time to challenge Lincoln, and he has officially entered the race...

When we think summer vacation in Greece, our minds drift to some small island in the Aegean Sea. One of those windswept rock formations with white-washed houses perched on steep cliff sides. The kind of island one needs to spend a minimum of 6 long hours on board a ferry before they can swim into its deep blue waters. This is why we were always skeptical about Elafonisos, the tiny island overlooking the southern tip of the Peloponnese. It ticked none of our boxes. Given its proximity to the mainland, we didn't even know if it qualified as an island to begin with.
But the truth is that we kept hearing nothing but praise about Elafonisos and its beaches. So, Why not?, we thought. And we went. And, then, we threw our doubts and our idiotic unticked boxes out of the window. Elafonisos Island is one of the best destinations for a relaxing summer vacation on the beach.
Elafonisos is a super tiny island located between the Peloponnese and the island of Kythira. Almost all accommodation and dining options are scattered around the port. There is a ring road connecting all villages and beaches on the island. The latter offers breathtaking views with every turn you take. It doesn't take more than 20′ to drive the entire length of said road.
How many days in Elafonisos?
We arrived at Elafonisos on the 12th of August in the afternoon and we left on the 16th of August also in the afternoon. There is no sightseeing involved, no must-sees or special activities. We are talking about a tiny island ideal for spending endless hours on the beach, tasting fresh Greek food and relaxing. So, how long you stay depends entirely on the type of trip you are planning. If Elafonisos Island is just another stop on your Peloponnese road trip, two or three days will be just fine. If, on the other hand, all you need is a long and relaxing break with nothing but you, the sea and the sky then you can even spend your entire summer holidays in Elafonisos.
Best beaches in Elafonisos
Simos Beach
At the southern part of the island there are two beaches divided by a narrow piece of land. The larger is called Sarakiniko while the smaller is called Fragos. However, everyone calls them Megalos (Large) Simos and Mikros (Small) Simos respectively or simply Simos. It is one of the most spectacular beaches we have ever been to in Greece. And, mind you, we've been to a lot. Although it can get really crowded, Simos is so huge that it seldom, if ever, gets annoying. Crystal clear turquoise waters, sand dunes close to 10m high, golden and pink sand and a cedar forest. If that's not heaven on earth, then what is?
Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for hire in some parts of the beach. Otherwise you can bring your own umbrella. Sitting directly under the sun is not an option as it is literally burning. You can grab food and drinks from the camping at Megalos Simos or from a snack bar at Mikros Simos.
Ta Nisia tis Panagias Beach
Literally translating to Virgin Mary Islands from the tiny islets of the same name overlooking it, this beach boasts endless stretches of golden sand and a sunset to remember. The scenery is very similar to Simos: sand dunes, cedars and turquoise waters. A lot less crowded than Simos, Ta Nisia tis Panagias beach also has a few sunbeds and umbrellas for hire as well as some restaurants and snack bars nearby.
Kontogoni Beach
If this beach was on any other island, it would be among its best ones. In Elafonisos, though, Kontogoni is overlooked as it is near the port and very close to the main road. However, it's perfect for the first and/or last swim of the day as well as for a final one before taking the ferry. Dining and café options near Kontogoni are endless, while many bars and cafés offer sunbeds and umbrellas for free, provided that you have a little something to eat or drink.
Lefki Beach
This is a beach close to Simos with emerald waters and white sand alternating with rocks. It's as beautiful as all the others, yet we can't tell you more about the sea itself as we never had the chance to swim there. There is no café or beach bar, neither umbrellas nor sunbeds to hire.
Pavlopetri Beach
This beach is not on the island of Elafonisos but on the coast of Laconia. It is located a stone's throw from the port of Pounta so it's super easy to visit either before taking the ferry to Elafonisos or on your way back from the island. Apart from crystal clear waters and endless stretches of golden sand, this beach offers visitors the unique opportunity to swim among the ancient ruins of the oldest submerged city in the world.
The seabed between the islet of Pavlopetri and the homonymous beach is dotted with the ruins of an ancient settlement dating back to 2800 BC. The remains of this ancient city are visible with basic snorkelling gear. The only thing that can deter you from marvelling at this underwater archeological site are the currents or winds blowing in the area. You should always consult with the locals as to when it is really safe to swim all the way to the Pavlopetri islet. However, you can always swim a few metres off the beach and still get a glimpse of some of the ancient remains.
Where to eat in Elafonisos
The vast majority of eateries are located in the main village near the port. There you can find numerous taverns serving traditional Greek dishes, souvlaki places, pizzerias and snack bars. Go to Gyrofolia for the best souvlaki on the island and to Mammy Mam to breakfast on mouthwatering huge crepes, pancakes and sandwiches.
Alternatively, you can enjoy a meal comprising of either handmade pizza or traditional Greek food at Simos Camping. Also, Ta Nisia tis Panagias restaurant is located above the beach by the same name, offering unique panoramic views and delicious seafood dishes.
Where to stay in Elafonisos
As soon as you get off the ferry, the main village of the island stretches to the right. Almost all accommodation options are located there. There are no large hotels, only guesthouses and B&Bs. The number of rooms available is inversely proportional to the popularity the island has gained recently. This is why, especially in July and August, don't even think of going without having previously booked a room. Also, keep in mind that for the same reason rooms are not what we call reasonably priced, especially in August.
If you are into camping or just don't want to let Simos beach out of your sight, you can stay at Simos Camping. Located right on the beach, it provides all necessary facilities as well as restaurants and bars.
When to go to Elafonisos
Elafonisos is genuinely a summer destination. Only then do you get to make the most of its biggest asset: its unbelievably beautiful beaches. Moreover, outside summer months, most bars and restaurants are closed. If you prefer peace and quiet on your holidays go in late May, June or early September. If you don't mind a bit of a crowd, though, July and August are the best months to visit. From October to April, you should only go if you are in need of absolute quietness bordering on loneliness or if you want to enjoy some easy hikes in the most spectacular natural surroundings.
How to get to Elafonisos
Driving is by far the best way to get to Elafonisos Island. This way you will have the opportunity to stop wherever you like or even organise a great road trip to explore the Peloponnese and the beautiful Laconia region. You drive all the way to the port of Pounta in Southern Laconia. From there you take the ferry and after 7′ you are in Elafonisos.
If neither your own nor a rented car is an option, you can travel by bus from Athens. However, there is no direct route. You need to travel to Neapoli first. From there you take a different bus to Pounta and then the ferry to Elafonisos. Once on the island, there is no means of public transport. In order to go from the port to Simos or anywhere else you like, you can rent a bicycle or scooter or call the only taxi operating on the island.
Elafonisos Island and the Peloponnese in general are also ideal destinations for those travelling from and to Italy by boat arriving to the port of Patras by their own cars or camper vans.
Around Elafonisos
Elafonisos can be one stop on a marvellous road trip across the Laconia region. At least that's how we did it and we liked it a lot. Laconia is a relatively unspoilt region in Southern Greece with amazing nature and beautiful villages. Some of the region's highlights include:
The castle town of Monemvasia
Monemvasia is a fine example of a uniquely preserved medieval settlement thanks to the total absence of vehicles and the strict regulations set by the Archaelogy Services regarding the construction and reconstruction of buildings within the castle walls. Wandering around its narrow cobblestone streets makes you feel like a time traveller trapped in the Medieval Ages.
Read our Monemvasia Castle travel guide here!
Kastania Cave
Kastania is one of the most impressive caves in Greece and the second of its kind in Europe in terms of density and variety of shapes, colours and figures. It is three million years old and it is near Neapoli. You may only enter the cave with a guided tour that takes place every hour and lasts about 30′ to 40′ minutes. For more information on how to best plan your visit, check out the cave's official website.
Kythira Island
If the beauties of Laconia are not enough, you can continue your vacation on another wonderful Greek island, Kythira. The latter is easily combined with Elafonisos since it is reached by ferry from Neapoli.

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and its caterer CH&Co have partnered with bio-bean, the world's largest recycler of spent coffee grounds, to transform its 3,500 kg of waste coffee grounds a year into sustainable bio-products.
Professor Andrew Goddard, president of the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) responds to the Greener NHS campaign launched today to help tackle the climate 'health emergency'.
RCP's Library, Archive and Museum Services (LAMS) is proud to launch a new website to showcase the College's rich 500-year history.
As I was sitting down to write this column, many homes — including mine — were in the midst of school exam results season and the highs and lows that go along with it. Tensions were high in the Goddard household, and so we were grateful for the chance to take a break to sunny Wales.
A new approach to outpatient care is needed if it is to meet growing demand and reduce disruption to patients' lives, according to a new report from the RCP.

Nitrate/Nitrite Poisoning
- Nitrate poisoning occurs when the nitrite level in the rumen exceeds the capacity of the microbes to convert it to ammonia. When this happens, nitrate and nitrite are absorbed through the rumen wall into the bloodstream.
- Signs of nitrite poisoning usually appear suddenly because of tissue hypoxia and low blood pressure as a consequence of vasodilation.
- Rapid weak heartbeat with subnormal body temperature.
- Muscular tremors.
- Weakness
- Ataxia
- Urinates Frequently
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Salivation
- Abdominal pain
- Gastric hemorrhage
Slow IV injection of 1% methylene blue in distilled water or isotonic saline should be given at 4–22 mg/kg or more, depending on severity of exposure. Lower dosages may be repeated in 20–30 min if the initial response is not satisfactory. Lower dosages of methylene blue can be used in all species, but only ruminants can safely tolerate higher dosages.
Animals may adapt to higher nitrate content in feeds, especially when grazing summer annuals such as sorghum-Sudan hybrids. Multiple, small feedings help animals adapt. Trace mineral supplements and a balanced diet may help prevent nutritional or metabolic disorders associated with longterm excess dietary nitrate consumption. Feeding grain with high-nitrate forages may reduce nitrite production. However, caution is advised when combining other feed additives/components, including nonprotein nitrogen, ionophores (such as monensin) and other growth and performance enhancers, with high-nitrate diets in ruminants

I lucked out and managed to pick these up in Canada during a visit. Bludgeon is really great.
Bludgeon has a great mold (works better for him than for Megatronus, imo)! The funky colors are just a bonus! Here\'s hoping he shows up everywhere soon!

Is there a way to resend the order confirmation email that the customer gets?
This is not currently a supported option for PowerStore. I have logged a request for this feature though as I'm sure that many users of the PowerStore would benefit from this ability.
Here is what I was thinking. Wanted to get your thoughts.
On the order_Detail.php I could be a button that sends an email (similar to the shipping confirmation) but have the email populate the $row_WADAorders and $row_WADAorderdetails in the email.
What am I missing? I should be able to get the entire record that way, yes?
You would want to make sure that the details values are contained in a repeat region to ensure that you print out all of the items that were in the order. I think this would work for you though to be able to send the order info after the fact. Let us know if you have any problems.

We offer Split Handle and Solid Handle Post Hole Diggers. The blades are made of a special alloy steel. The blades are attached by welding instead of riveting making a durable joint with no rivets to shear off. The fulcrum members are made of heavily constructed, channel-shaped steel – no castings. The diameter of the circle circumscribed by the digger blades is approximately 6 inches. Two bolts hold each handle to the digger head making them easy to replace when necessary.
The Split handles are used with a front to back motion. With the split-handle digger, the operator uses a forward-and-back motion sliding the handles past each other. The split handle design has a wider blade opening, which allows for a larger hole to be dug.

The 2014 Honda CR-V vs. the 2014 Nissan Rogue
The 2014 Honda CR-V crossover SUV is Honda through and through. Trustworthy, fuel-efficient, safe, and last but not least, comfortable on the inside, the CR-V continues to be one of the most popular picks in its class in the Middletown and Mechanicstown area
Similarly priced to the 2014 Nissan Rogue, the 2014 Honda CR-V has a few more standard options that may make it a more appealing pick to more drivers. Here's a rundown of some of these more exclusive features.
Vehicle Features
Making things easier for the driver and their family is one of Honda's biggest goals. Even the smallest features such as a remote power tailgate unlock can make throwing the groceries in the trunk a little easier. All CR-V models comes standard with a power unlock on the tailgate, while this feature is unavailable on the 2014 Rogue.
Let's run through a few more features that are standard on the CR-V that do not come standard on the Rogue.
- A stereo anti-theft system
- Floor mats
- A towing capacity of 1500 pounds compared with 1000 pounds on the Rogue
CR-V LX models also come equipped with rear audio controls, allowing the backseat to adjust the sound system to their needs without bothering the driver. The comparably price Rogue SL is not available with this feature.
Vehicle Performance
Compared to the Rogue, the Honda CR-V also excels when it comes to performance. All models come equipped with 185 hp four-cylinder engine versus the 170 hp four-cylinder engine on the Rogue.
Get Behind the Wheel of the CR-V
The CR-V is a great fit for anyone looking for a reliable crossover. You can see why it has gained a reputation as one of the best picks in its class by taking it for a test drive at Middletown Honda! Middletown Honda is located at 520 Route 211, on the west side of Middletown, just a quick drive from Mechanicstown and many other communities around the Orange County area. If you would like to learn more or have any questions, please feel free contact our Honda dealership.

Dear Friends,
As this is my last posting of 2018, I must share with you that what you shall read below is not what I was planning to write one week before Christmas! In fact, I began to write and entitled the piece, "Full Circle!" That you shall read sometime in 2019 but for now Jesus has another plan for me and you!
This blog will get posted days after Christmas and shortly before the New Year and it seems that the "Big Guy" and maybe one of His angels prepared a beautiful gift for us. It is a meditation set forth in a letter written on Christmas Eve in 1513 to Countess Allagia Aldobrandeschi by Fra Giovanni Giocondo (c.1435–1515). He was a Renaissance pioneer, accomplished as an architect, engineer, antiquary, archaeologist, classical scholar, and Franciscan friar.
So where did I find this meditation now, you might ask?
In my desk drawer!
One evening I found myself trying to be organized and get all my papers together! Sorting through the pile, I found prayer cards, meditations and other gems that I was saving. I made different piles but one grouping I kept aside for another time time to read and reflect on.
That time came for me in the middle of the night a week later. I found myself not being able to sleep with with my mind flooded by thoughts of so many things that I still needed to do to prepare for Christmas! So instead of laying there, I got up! I think it was around 2:00 in the morning, and I went to my desk to retrieve the treasures that I had found to read at a later time. This seemed to be the angel's hand prompting me to act. Certainly that angel got me out of bed in the middle of the night!
When I first read it, I did not even know who Fra Giovanni was and had to research what this beautiful meditation was all about. So there I was Googling in the middle of the night and was just so taken by the history of it being a Christmas Eve letter to Countess Allagia in 1513!
I felt Jesus saying, "Give it as a Gift for the New Year" to your readers. Give it to everyone!
And so here it is for you, a gift just days after Christmas to receive into your heart but also a meditation to take you through your personal journey of 2019!
May Fra Giovanni help us to live the words of wisdom that he wrote on a Christmas Eve so very long ago!
I salute you.
I am your friend, and my love for you goes deep.
There is nothing I can give you which you have not.
But there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take.
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today. Take heaven!
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant.
Take peace!
The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.
There is radiance and glory in darkness, could we but see.
And to see, we have only to look. I beseech you to look!
Life is so generous a giver.
But we, judging its gifts by their covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard.
Remove the covering, and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love by wisdom, with power.
Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the angel's hand that brings it to you.
Everything we call a trial, a sorrow or a duty, believe me, that angel's hand is there.
The gift is there and the wonder of an overshadowing presence.
Your joys, too, be not content with them as joys. They, too, conceal diviner gifts.
Life is so full of meaning and purpose, so full of beauty beneath its covering, that you will find earth but cloaks your heaven.
Courage then to claim it; that is all! But courage you have, and the knowledge that we are pilgrims together, wending through unknown country home.
The treasure I found folded in my desk drawer!

United Launch Alliance Completes Dual Engine Centaur Preliminary Design Review and Development Testing in Support of Commercial Crew Program, ULA
"United Launch Alliance (ULA) successfully completed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and initial round of development testing for the Dual Engine Centaur in support of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
Under Independent Research and Development (IRAD) funding, ULA is re-establishing the Dual Engine Centaur (DEC) configuration for performance and human space flight safety. Atlas V is capable of flying both a single and dual engine on the Centaur second stage, but most satellite missions require only a single engine due to the powerful capability of the Atlas V booster to loft the payload into orbit."

Capullo Batman cowl (finished sculpt pics)
We loved @real_greg_capullo's Batman ever since we read the New 52 books for the first time. After seeing his work on Dark Nights Metal, we felt even more inspired to finally make a "Capullo" cowl to pay tribute to his Batman 🤘… So we went through our comic collection and studied the shapes and details closely to translate his Bat from comics into real life. We finished our sculpt last week and we've actually printed it already. 😁 It will be on our finishing and molding table next, along with our "GD Bat" cowl 🙂
