As a kid, I loved camping. My favorite family vacation memories are all camping, especially with the way my dad made camping a ton of fun. Camping to him, was all about the experience, so he made the experience great.
As an adult, I enjoyed camping up until a few years ago. The last time I tried sleeping in a tent was in 2008. I ended up spending the entire night walking laps around the campground.
Nightmares, night terrors, flashbacks, pseudo-seizures, insomnia, and sleep paralysis all made trying to sleep AWFUL. Adding a tent in the mountains to that mix was disastrous.
But I missed camping. I wondered if I would ever be able to enjoy it again.
A few months ago, I started planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park.
I researched all the good places to fish. Hikes I wanted to go on. Places I wanted to see.
I was excited, but I wasn't sure if I would sleep at all. BJ reassured me that if we needed to pack up and come home early because it was too hard to sleep in the tent, we would. I didn't have to worry.
At night, I slept soundly.
I spent the days exploring, hiking, fishing, and having the best time.
Firehole River with fumaroles and geysers all around. It was a beautiful (and interesting and different) site to see.
I visited Old Faithful, Fountain Paint Pots, Firehole Falls, Kepler Cascades, Sulfur Caldron, and several other amazing sites.
I hiked up Nez Pearce Creek and fished along the way.
I fished the Gibbon, the Madison, and the Gallatin.
I was devoured by flies and mosquitoes... it was itchy for a few days, and then it got better.
And I didn't get eaten by a bear, because I promised my mom I wouldn't.
A pool of very hot water. I can't remember it's real name, but BJ called it "Pool of Instant Death"
A geyser that wasn't Old Faithful, but I thought it was cooler than Old Faithful.
Nez Pearce - I caught the first fish that day, which meant I caught the first fish of the trip!
Sometimes BJ likes to hike in his socks.
Climbing over logs to cross the stream to get to the little hole (without frightening fish). This is my, "I'm triumphant!" pose.
Mosquito bites. My whole body looked like this. Even with long sleeves and insect repellent. Nobody better give me any lectures on "selfcare". I tried!
I just thought this tree was amazing. It was still alive and growing. It should have been dead and on the bottom of the canyon, but it found a way to not only survive, but thrive. I admire trees (and animals, and people) like this one.
The falls from the trail. Do you love my Chaco's? I love my Chaco's.
The falls from Artist's Point.
I'm very proud of this picture. To me it just says, "Montana Fly Fishing". That was a great day.
That looks awesome. I'm glad you had a good time. I need to make it up to Yellowstone sometime. I haven't been since the time we went as a family thousands of years ago.


4 Indications of Proper Perspective | Encounter. Encourage. Engage.
I've been looking for a new perspective. Well, maybe not new perspective but a unique perspective. I've gotten glimpses before but the challenge has always been to stay there. I want to view things from there, choose from there, enjoy there and dwell there.
I tend to view things in finite, absolute terms. I limit a complete understanding by attempting to apply my limited perspective to an eternal universe of possibilities. There are absolutely times for absolutes and there are many times for consideration of another possibility.
Ephesians 2:6 says that we are seated in a place from which we can enjoy a unique and fresh perspective. "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." While we know that physically we are not yet in Heaven, the spiritual promise and reality if we have given our lives over to Jesus is that we can see things from His perspective here and now. I'm not sure I even try to most of the time.
The Value of Relationship – God wants relationship. When I am seeing things from His perspective, I will choose my options in a way that preserves relationship.
A Heart of Honor – God honors us because of Who He is, not because we deserve it. He commissions us despite our flaws and when my perspective is similar, I see others with honor and not judgment of their flaws.
A Secure Place – God sees us as sons and daughters if we are in Christ. When we know our place in His family, we do not fear for lack of protection, provision or promotion but trust the Father with our needs.
Abundant Grace – He loves us, forgives us and receives us. We don't need to cloud the lens from which we see with guilt or shame that He doesn't agree with.
I don't get it most of the time. Today my prayer has been simple; "God, help me to see things from Your perspective. Help me to see things from the place you've made for me in You." From that perspective, I will naturally act and react in a way that is consistent with the role of an ambassador and welcome Heaven to earth.

THE EMPTY CHAIR Synopsis
The Empty Chair by Penny Goetjen
Leaving behind Boston and her domineering, workaholic father, young Olivia Benning goes wheels up on a southbound jet to embark on a journey that not only tests her resolve, but pits her sense of justice against that of a twisted subculture, shattering her instinct of who to trust. Facing the heartache of settling a parent's affairs, her search for answers ensnares her in a sinister web of crime amidst a breathtaking, yet deceptively tranquil Caribbean backdrop.
Reeling from the tragic news her mother has perished in a boating accident in the Virgin Islands, Olivia is further shaken by the realization her long-separated parents will never have the chance to reconcile. As a child, stuck in the middle between adversaries, Olivia had had no voice and was forced to live with her father in the states to attend school there.
In spite of their distance, Liv Benning had been more than a mother to Olivia; she was a friend and confidante—a special relationship that grew stronger as their time apart grew longer, and one her father detested. She had dreamed of the day she would join her mother on the island in her photography business, if she could wriggle free from her father's firm grasp. Her mother's death leaves Olivia grappling with loss on multiple levels.
Upon her arrival on the island, Oliviaquickly learns the police have no knowledge of the boating accident the mysterious caller reported and no record of Liv Benning's death. The uncertain circumstances surrounding her disappearance compel Olivia to search for answers as she clings to a glimmer of hope her mother is still alive.
After ruggedly handsome Colton comes to her rescue when she's stranded at the airport, Olivia grows suspicious of him when he seems to show up at opportune moments. He offers to help in the search for her mother, assuring her he's well connected on the island. While trying to discern his intentions, Olivia struggles with her need to connect with someone who cares for her, and Colton fits neatly into that void at times.
A night out at a local hot spot turns into a bar brawl and unseen hands nearly snatch the camera from her neck. Sustaining a black eye in the melee, she arrives home to find the bungalow broken into and ransacked. Her mother's studio was clearly the target which begs the questions: what was the intruder looking for and had they found it. When Colton shows up on her doorstep before she can start picking up the mess, his timing seems suspect. She lashes out and sends him away, vowing to find her mother on her own. He continues to offer his help, only to be rebuffed.
When an unexpected visitor bursts onto the idyllic setting at the quaint bungalow overlooking Magens Bay, peering into windows and nosing about, Olivia is forced to retrieve her mother's gun from under the mattress to defend the property. While suave, smooth-talking Carson claims to be her mother's lover, a shot rings out striking him down. Whisked away from the grisly scene by the island police, Olivia wakes up in the hospital with the memory she'd shot Carson and discovers her shoulder is seriously injured. Hell-bent on finding her mother, she discharges herself, before police can detain her, to continue her search while staying one step ahead of those intent on taking her out of the picture. She learns later she hadn't fired the gun. The shots came from the bushes behind her and were meant for her.
When the Coast Guard retrieves the body of an adult woman from the waters off of St. Thomas, Olivia is asked to stop into the morgue to see if it's her mother. Sickened by the grotesque condition of the body, she is relieved to report it is not her mother but is asked for a DNA sample for verification purposes.
A fire at the bungalow destroys everything of her mother's, as well as what little she'd brought with her, and is meant to send a clear message. Undaunted, Olivia presses on in her search, continuing to rile an unknown, deadly foe.
Cryptic messages, with no originating phone number, arrive on her mother's fax machine signed only with the initials CK, urging her on a mission to photograph some sort of criminal activity. In the hopes of picking up where her mother's trail left off, she follows the illusive CK's instructions to investigate the landfill.
Under the cover of darkness, while snapping horrific images of dogfighting, Olivia is grabbed from behind and the camera wrestled from her grasp. In the struggle that ensues she manages to narrowly slip away, but not before recognizing Colton among the men. She's left to wonder if he's involved in the heinous activity or had he seen her car along the road and come to her rescue. With her instincts of who to trust being tested, she can't bear the thought of him being involved. Although she's grateful to have escaped, she laments losing her camera with all the evidence she'd captured. Colton seems to disappear after that night.
Unaware of the ongoing search, Olivia's father grows impatient as to why it's taking so long and arrives on the scene to try to speed up the process of taking care of her mother's assets. During his visit he reveals he is dying from cirrhosis. His lifetime of drinking has caught up to him. Feeling more alone than ever, Olivia vows to continue the search until she finds her mother.
The turning point occurs when Olivia wakes up after being drugged and dumped in a drawer at the morgue. It looks like the search for her mother has come to an abrupt end, and she's facing certain death. Although her captors think they're rid of her once and for all, they're spotted leaving the scene and followed back to where the others are holed up. Their gambling empire begins to unravel.
When Olivia is rescued from the morgue, a pair of aviator sunglasses are found in the drawer with her. At this point in the story, two people were known to sport aviators: Carson, her mother's purported lover and the Coast Guard lieutenant who asks Olivia to ID the body in the morgue.
After local police take into custody members of the gambling ring who are not from the island, the lingering question is who the local person was—who knew the island inside and out and could enable them to move from place to place to evade authorities. The police focus their investigation on Carson.
Even after the fire, Olivia finds solace by visiting her mother's yard and gazing out to Magens Bay. She feels closest to her mother there. On one such visit Olivia finds a box taped to the bottom of the chair—The Empty Chair. In it is a note from her mother acknowledging if Olivia has found it, she must have met her demise at the hands of the criminals she was documenting. She apologizes for not being there for Olivia, but is adamant that apprehending them and saving the pups was worth putting her life on the line. Also, in the box is a stash of money—snatched from the men who ultimately killed her. Olivia reasons she's found the note prematurely, that her mother is still alive. A quick count of the money and it becomes obvious there is more than enough to rebuild the bungalow.
On each visit to her mother's yard, Olivia is intrigued by the refrigerator in the middle of what used to be the bungalow, until finally she climbs across the scorched rubble to open it. In the meat drawer, she finds a CD her mother had stashed there with the photos she'd taken of the illegal activity at the landfill. It will aid the authorities in prosecuting the dogfighting ring.
When authorities confirm through DNA tests the female body in the morgue is, in fact, her mother, Olivia is devasted, and her reason for being on the island evaporates. With a heavy heart, she heads to the airport with her mother's remains but without her father, after he got caught up in legal issues of his own. Colton catches up with her and explains he lost his phone during the fight at the landfill, and it took a while to track her down since she was no longer staying at her mother's. He has with him the puppy she rescued from the dogfighting ring, complete with a travel carrier. Olivia and Colton make plans to reconnect when she returns to the island.
Inching through the line in Customs, it dawns on her she'd been talked into taking her mother's remains back to the states to be buried there. Her mother would not have wanted to leave her beloved island of St. Thomas, so she bolts out to the ticket counter and demands her mother's casket be unloaded from the cargo hold. When it's sent to a local funeral home for cremating, the authorities are able to intercept it to take a look.
Turns out, the thugs involved with the dogfighting ring are also smuggling heroin into the states. The police find a surprising amount of the drug in the pillow under her mother's head as well as in other hollow areas in the casket. Carson is the common denominator between the funeral home and the criminal ring.
After spreading her mother's ashes in her yard, Olivia gets a ride to the airport from Colton. On the way, she bumps into the man known only as CK. He owns the local newspaper where her mother was freelancing and is distraught over sending her into the lion's den to get photos. After he departs, Olivia notices a headline on the local paper: Virgin Island Times Owner Found Dead—Suicide Not Ruled Out. CK had felt compelled to remain until he could connect with Olivia to tell her how sorry he was. She'd never seen a full-bodied apparition before.
After a tearful goodbye curbside at the airport. Colton climbs back into his Jeep and drives away—but not before swatting down the visor to block the sun. The imprint of a pair of aviator sunglasses is clearly outlined in the vinyl.
With the reader left to wonder Colton's role in her mother's murder, the dogfighting ring, and Olivia's attempted murder, the story in The Empty Chair picks up again in Over the Edge where any lingering questions are answered.

Four penalties for unrelated Palm Beach County code violations dating as far back as the 2004 hurricanes are set to be reduced from more than $1 million down to about 9 cents on the dollar, according to a memo for next Tuesday's Palm Beach County Commission meeting.
The four items will be reduced to 8.6 percent, from $1.076 million to $92,290.
Code enforcement officials have stressed that dramatic reductions are the norm; that the ultimate goal isn't to collect a big penalty but to get people in compliance.
Property in West Palm Beach owned by Marcos Acevedo was hit with three code enforcement liens of September 2008, August 2010 and September 2010 for various maintenance violations. A lien grew to $786,531 as of Dec. 9. Settled for $50,000 (6.4 percent).
A shopping center near Palm Springs owned by South Military Trail LLC was cited for landscaping issues and draconian "hat-racking" trimming of trees after the 2004 hurricanes. A lien grew to $128,812 as of Nov. 15. Settled for $6,675 (5.2 percent) with a ban on the center operating a cocktail lounge or selling alcohol between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Ramsey Bulkeley, deputy director of Planning, Zoning and Building, which oversees code enforcement, said El Toro Loco, a night club at the center, was for years the site of numerous incidents of violence and crime.
Property near Palm Beach International Airport that's owned by Florida Land & Timber Corp. was cited for exotic pest trees, standing dead trees and trash dating to 2005. A lien grew, with interest, to $117,634 as of Nov. 9. settled for $20,665 (17.6 percent).
Property in Lake Worth owned by Carmella Daut and Jean Rene Pierre-Louis was cited for installing a porch without proper permits. Liens grew to $43,348 as of Jan. 3. Settled for $14,950 (34.5 percent).

On Monday, Director James Comey of the FBI announced that the Bureau will not cave in to pressure from activists and politicians to create a universal database to keep track of US civilian deaths at the hands of police, and will instead retain their voluntary submission system.
Currently, the FBI allows local police departments to choose whether or not to submit their data on police killings. These voluntary counts have proven to fall way short of the actual numbers tracked by independent databases such as KilledByPolice.net and The Counted, a project by the Guardian.

24 September 2015, 23:11 GMT
For example, there were 444 "justified" homicides reported to the FBI in 2014, down 5.7% from 471 counted in 2013, the Guardian reported.
However, Killed by Police, the first database created to keep track of these numbers, has already tracked 890 since January 1 of this year, 95 in the month of September alone.
Comey said the Bureau intends to collect more data about police shootings, but did not specify how.
"Next, to address the ongoing debate about the appropriate use of force by law enforcement, we plan to collect more data about shootings (fatal and nonfatal) between law enforcement and civilians, and to increase reporting overall," Comey's statement read. "Currently, the UCR program collects the number of justifiable homicides reported by police as well as information about the felonious killing and assault of law enforcement officers."
Interestingly, he noted that the Bureau only collects numbers on "justifiable homicides" reported by police, and the "felonious killing and assaults of law enforcement officers." There is no mention of felonious killings by law enforcement officers.
NYPD Chief Gives More Freedom to New York Cops to Break the Rules
Comey went on to say that additional information gathered will be used to create a new and separate report that will "outline facts about what happened, who was involved, the nature of injuries or deaths, and the circumstances behind these incidents."
A request by the Guardian for more information regarding how many of the nearly 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the US participated in the optional reporting program last year or in previous years went unanswered, but Comey's statement mentions that it is a "little more than one third" of all departments.
There are also no federal or independent databases tracking non-lethal violence at the hands of police.

K-pop goods sales up 50% as BTS zooms up in US, UK music charts

Korean online shopping malls are enjoying a boon after K-pop superstar BTS hit another sensation with its new album poised for double wins in U.S. and U.K music charts.
Korea's top online shopping platform eBay Korea said Thursday sales from its K-pop category jumped 50 percent in sum in March against a year ago. The purchases on Apr. 1-14 also soared 57 percent on year, timed with BTS`s April 12 release of the "Map of the Soul: Persona" album.
The K-pop superstar's performance on Saturday Night Live, America's popular late-night live television variety show, on April 13 stimulated BTS fandom.

Clothing, jewelry, socks and smartphone accessories were snatched up. More than 38,000 products related to BTS are available on eBay's website, up 50 percent in just three days since the drop of its latest album. U.S. fans bought the most 34 percent, followed by Britons, Germans, Canadians and Latin Americans.
The septet's newest album is set to rank No.1 in the Apr. 27-dated U.S. Billboard 200 chart, which is scheduled to be revealed on Sunday, and also is cruising to the top of the official weekly albums chart in the U.K. to be published on Friday.

Jini Patel Listen to Your Horse
In this episode I speak with Jini Patel and boy oh boy she is next level of consciousness in my opinion. As you heard in the snippet, she waits until all the things that we do with horses, are the horses idea!
I know that when someone is talking, and I start to fidget and feel uncomfortable, that my buttons are getting pushed to a place I have been resisting to go. This happened during this interview. Jini pushed my buttons by the end of this podcast, and I mean that in the best way possible. The depth she has gone to with her horses made me so uncomfortable, simply because, I'm not ready to go there, yet! I will get there, I'm just not there yet. There is so much surrender that is needed so I'll be taking it one step at a time.
This is a long one, as you have probably come to expect from this podcast by now. So grab a cuppa or a glass of wine, enjoy the ride and immerse and challenge yourself in what the amazing Jini has to say.

Free SubContractor Agreement Template word Form: What You Should Know
The contract is a legally binding document that sets out the terms of a specific contract with the subcontractor. The terms of the contract are: — The scope of the contract — Terms and conditions of the contract — Payment terms and rates of payment — Duration of the contract The type of relationship set out in the contract is: contractor-subcontractor Contracted (the party entering the contract) — The scope of the contract. These agreements are usually contracts for services, such as construction work. — The terms of payment. The payment terms of the subcontractor are usually referred to as the "contract rate". — The duration of the contract. The duration of the contract is determined by the time the contractor (in this case the subcontractor) has invested in the work in question (expenses). — The conditions and payment requirements set out in the contract. This is in the contract signed between the contractor and the subcontractor. The terms and conditions of the contract set out the conditions and pay terms for the service under consideration. — Payment terms and rates of payment. The contract will specify these rates to be paid by the contractor to the subcontractor. — Duration of the contract. The time for which the services are to be performed by the subcontractor. The contractual duration of the contract is determined by the length of time that the contractor has invested into the work. — The terms and conditions of performance and warranty. The terms and conditions and warranty, which is a requirement of the contract, set out the conditions (or parts) of performance for the services to be provided (or that the contract requires). — The performance bond or guaranty. The performance bond or guaranty is a guarantee that the contractor will perform the specified services under the contract, when a specified date arrives (i.e. at the contract's deadline). A guaranty document is sometimes referred to as a "performance bond". The guarantee is issued by a commercial bank and is secured by a collateral of the contract. — The term for which repayment of the performance bond or guarantee is sought. These payments will often be periodic as a result of the cost of the goods or services to be performed over an agreed period of time. — The provisions governing the payment of interest when repayment is delayed.


THOUSANDS of Britons applied for French citizenship last year after being "horrified" by the Brexit result.
The French interior ministry boasted the rise in passport applications made by UK residents was linked to the Brexit vote, with the record 3,173 applications in 2017 a record high.
Out of those, 1,518 UK residents acquired French nationality last year.
According to officials, the number of British people applying for a French passport has risen tenfold in three years.
In 2015 only 386 Britons applied for French citizenship, and 320 were given a passport.
In 2016 – the year 52 per cent of British people voted to leave the bloc –, 1,363 British nationals applied for French citizenship and 439 were issued a passport.
Jean-Paul Mulot, the Hauts-de-France region's permanent envoy to the UK, told the French daily Le Figaro that "most" Britons applying for French citizenship simply wanted to avoid "queues at airports or the Eurostar terminal," while others wanted to "secure their rights to healthcare and social benefits".
Mr Mulot added that it was important to take into account dual citizens who had "never bothered" to apply for a French passport until Brexit because of the "paperwork and cost".
However Fiona Mougenot, the head of the immigration consultancy Expat Partners, told Le Figaro that most of the Britons she had worked with were more concerned with their desire to hang on to their EU citizenship than with bureaucratic issues.
She said: "Practical matters are obviously important for our clients, but their main motivation is to stay European.
"Those who were unable to take part in the referendum are horrified by the prospect of Brexit and feel betrayed.
The number of Britons who applied for citizenship in other EU countries soared by tens of thousands following the UK vote to quit the EU in June 2016, with neighbouring Ireland receiving the highest number of passport applications.


ONI Systems announced Thursday that it has been supplying optical gear to telecom carrier PalmettoNet since the fourth quarter of last year. PalmettoNet, a so-called carrier's carrier that provides telecom lines to other carriers, has already plugged in ONI equipment in Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C., and Greenville, S.C. The company plans to install more ONI gear in the Carolinas by the end of this year. ONI told investors last week that it will not make its earnings and revenue targets for the first quarter because of diminished customer spending, which has rocked the telecom equipment sector. ONI said last month that it aims to merge with Ciena, another beleaguered equipment maker that announced on Tuesday that it plans to lay off 650 employees, or 22 percent of its work force.

Smithellaneous: Shoes. Pocketbooks. Buttons. Fans. And Stuff.
Today's post is all about the smaller details that make a wedding work because we all know that it's the little things that make the big picture so memorable.
Let's start with shoes, shall we?
When we first got to Florida, Meagan showed Sarah the shoes that she had bought for her and the other two bridesmaids. Sarah absolutely loved them and was so excited about wearing them; however, when she tried to walk in them, it was a wee bit less than inspiring because she looked as though she might topple over at any moment. Sarah has not had a whole lot of High Heel Wearing Experience.
We all agreed that a toppling bridesmaid wouldn't do much to enhance the wedding so Meagan suggested we shop for an easier-to-navigate style and just return the shoes to the (national chain) store when we got home.
Thankfully we were able to find an alternative style for Sarah which were still cute and pink but just a little easier for her to get around in.
And while I'm on the subject of shoes, during a mini rehearsal before the real rehearsal, Meagan put on her wedding shoes so that she could practice getting on and off the platform in them. And then, since they were trying to figure out how much space her train would take up in all of the platform maneuverings, Sheri tucked a piece of crepe paper in the waist band of her shorts to help to "picture" it. I think it's a very attractive look, don't you?
Now. For those of you you are really up on fashion stuff, please take note of the extra accent I added to my own Mother of the Groom shoes.
Paper towels! They're the latest wedding accessory!
The wedding party ladies all met at the church early Saturday morning to get ready. When I had finished applying the all-important make up and the even more all-important Spanx, I slid on my new silver sandals and walked around doing last minute stuff. And all was well.
I walked around another minute. And then suddenly, all was not so well.
For no obvious reason, the straps suddenly started sliding down my heels so that I could not walk even one step without flailing and weaving around in an attempt to keep the shoes from falling off my feet altogether. I looked about as regal as a pregnant platypus trying to square dance.
Steve, my own personal Sir Galahad, appeared on the scene and using the file from a nail clipper, punched new holes in each strap to tighten them up.
I was most grateful to him for his ingenuity and I walked around for a few minutes with the newly tightened straps. And all was well again.
Then I walked around a minute or two more. And all was not well. Again.
The straps had slid right back down, leaving me totally incapable of walking. And when I say I couldn't walk, I am not exaggerating in the least bit. I couldn't take even one step. And to make things all the more stressful, we were only about ten minutes from the start of the wedding when I was supposed to make my graceful, elegant way down the long, long center aisle on the arm of my handsome nephew, Caleb.
I half thought about grabbing the nearest woman who wore a similarly sized shoe and wrenching her shoes off her feet but I didn't that think that shoe snatching was proper behavior for the mother of the groom. I then thought briefly about tossing the shoes altogether and making my way down the aisle in a bohemian-esque barefoot fashion, but I figured that that might ruin the whole lovely lavender dress vibe I had going on.
Steve and I huddled frantically in the side hallway of the church's foyer trying to figure out what to do. He eventually deduced in his analytical male brain that punching another hole was not going to make any difference because my foot was sliding forward in the shoe and without something to hold my foot in place, further hole punching would not help. So with just four minutes to go, he ran into the bathroom, got some paper towels and knelt down in front of me so that he could insert a folded towel into each shoe. He remarked to one curious onlooker, "Now this is a picture of real marriage!" And he was so right.
Happily, the straps stayed up all the way down the aisle and when the wedding was over, they stayed up for the walk back up the aisle; however, about five minutes later, they fell down altogether. I rummaged around and found a pair of lower heels (not half as lovely) to wear during the reception so that I wouldn't have to be the Barefoot Mother of the Groom for the rest of the day.
And my last shoe shot? Nathan and Meagan's nephew's teeny tiny dress shoes were left on the top of a pew and I couldn't resist a picture.
Shoes weren't the only detail to be attended to during the wedding prep; we also had the Wearing Of The Buttons. For Friday night's rehearsal, each of the people in the wedding party was presented with a custom made name badge. In fact, even this strange guy who wandered in off the street got one.
His groomsmen got buttons too—just so that none of them would forget who the other guy was.
Me and my handsome, button-wearing, almost-married, no longer College Dude son.
A wedding isn't just about shoes and buttons though; it's also about pocketbooks--big and small. After the wedding, as Sheri and I were getting ready to leave for the reception, we looked at each other and just had to laugh; although we had both carried lovely, dressy purse-ettes for the ceremony itself, we immediately went and grabbed our honkin' big purses at the earliest opportunity. I just can't do life very well without my big purse and it's nice to know that Sheri is the same way.
At any rate, Steve, Sarah, and my brother-in-law and nephew set up a little Wedding Fan Production Facility and got them all knocked out in a couple hours.
They turned out so beautifully. On one side was a verse that was meaningful to the couple; you can read Meagan's mom's blog for the story behind it.
On the other side of the fan was the listing of wedding party and the ceremony.
The design of the fans tied in perfectly with the wedding invitations and it was just a really fresh, creative look overall. I really loved the fact that Nathan and Meagan's wedding was very much "them," right down to utilizing bright, unusual colors.
Before I respond to a few comments, here's a photo of the bride and groom about to leave for their honeymoon. (Nathan had to leave his tux behind since it had to returned to the rental place that afternoon.) I just absolutely love the expressions on their faces because there's much joy and contentment there.
It was a day full of big details, small details—and much, much happiness.
Much more Wedding Stuff to come!
Lisa, thanks for the compliment; so glad you've liked the song well enough to listen to it several times.
As for selling the music to other brides, I think the biggest challenge in doing so is that the song is so specific to Nathan and Meagan (as far as them meeting when they were both still kids) that the lyrics would probably not apply to many other couples. But I'm honored that you would suggest the idea!
Lisa, the only song that's on iTunes is "Like A Blanket" but it's not the version that we recorded. I would be happy to e-mail single songs to you in an Mp3 format for a minimal cost if you e-mail me and give me an idea of which ones you would want.
Buff, yes thankfully, Meagan's dress did have a bustle which definitely made life a whole lot easier for her during the reception.
Debbie, that picture was actually taken several years ago of Nathan and Meagan in High School. I agree with you—it was a gorgeous dress!
I just had a laugh! I thought that when you said they were turning the programs into 'fans', that they were the accordian style fans that were folded onto themselves. I couldn't imagine how that could be attractive, or how one would even read the programs! Ha!
To me it's the DETAILS that make the wedding fabulous! Great post!
Oh my, Becky...I, too, spent my son's wedding with paper towels in my shoes! They were married in Orlando, and you'd think my feet would have swelled in the heat, but no---my shoes were too big!
Lesley, I, too was picturing accordian pleated fans. Thanks, Becky, for the clarifying picture.


Elsewhere, the housing market, despite some so-called recovery, continues to be moribund, with both housing starts (914K, below expectations of 950K), and permits (974K, Exp. 975K) missing expectations. And the miss would have been much worse if one were to exclude the multi-familiy (rental) housing units, which after plunging by the most since 2006 last month, which once again spiked from 245K to 306K even as single-family housing unites stayed essentially flat in May at 599K vs 597K the last month. More notably, the single-family housing market was only boosted thanks to a jump of building in the south, where units jumped from 295K to 331K, while unit starts dropped in the Northeast, Midwest, and the West.
Seasonally-adjusted Starts data showing that the single-family housing market remains virtually unchanged for the past 5 years.
The divergence is even more pronounced on a non-seasonally adjusted basis.

Why so few women seem to mind the women/women athletes = inferior implication of so much trash talk in sports (and why so many men, many/most of whom presumably like the company of women, participate in it) is an eternal mystery to me, and the subject of multiple unwritten posts.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Usage
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Purpose
        Authenticate users against a CAS server from your python cgi scripts.

    Using in your script

        import pycas
        status, userid, cookie = pycas.login(CAS_SERVER, THIS_SCRIPT)

    Required Parameters

        - CAS_SERVER : the url of your CAS server (for example, https://login.yoursite.edu).
        - THIS_SCRIPT: the url of the calling python cgi script.

    Returned Values

        - status:  return code, 0 for success.
        - userid:  the user name returned by cas.
        - cookie:  when non-blank, send this cookie to the client's browser so it can authenticate for
                   the rest of the session.

    Optional Parmaters:
        - lifetime:  lifetime of the cookie in seconds, enforced by pycas. Default is 0, meaning unlimited lifetime.
        - path:      Authentication cookie applies for all urls under 'path'. Defaults to "/" (all urls).
        - protocol:  CAS protocol version.  Default is 2.  Can be set to 1.
        - secure:    Default is True, which authenticates for https connections only.
        - opt:       set to 'renew' or 'gateway' for these CAS options.

        Examples:
            status, userid, cookie = pycas.login(CAS_SERVER, THIS_SCRIPT, protocol=1, secure=True)
            status, userid, cookie = pycas.login(CAS_SERVER, THIS_SCRIPT, path="/cgi-bin/accts")

Creating Inclusive Cohorts Training Program
Minnesota Youth Story Squad
Through collaboration between The RIDGS Initiative, the Department of American Studies, and the Department of American Indian Studies, the American Studies graduate program has been awarded a "Creating Inclusive Cohorts" Training Program from the Graduate School Diversity Office, UMN. This award allows the American Studies graduate program to make first-year fellowship offers to six doctoral students entering the program in Fall 2019, in the field of critical indigenous studies.
This cohort will make a crucial impact throughout the university because the University of Minnesota is at the cutting-edge, the vanguard, of American Indian and Indigenous Studies internationally, our land-grant institution itself occupies indigenous lands, and the Twin Cities is home to one of the largest and most diverse urban indigenous communities in the US. To increase our cohort of under-represented graduate students who are working in critical indigenous studies would promote excellence and diversity throughout multiple university and local communities.
It is important to mention that there has been a long history of faculty excellence in the field of American Indian and Indigenous Studies, and with recent faculty hires, UMN is at an opportune moment to build on a long track record of training in this field. In fact, UMN has trained the third most American Indian and Indigenous Studies PhDs (50 since the late 1990s) in the country, and most of our graduates have gone on to academic employment. It is also crucial to mention that American Indians remain the single most underrepresented group in the ranks of academia.
Because the American Indian Studies Department does not yet have a graduate program, the majority of the indigenous students who have received PhDs in this subfield have come to the university through the American Studies Department. This department has been a beacon for diversity and excellence at UMN; it is internationally renowned for its pioneering research at the intersections of critical race studies and queer theory.
With this award, we will be able to admit six PhD students through American Studies, train them through the American Indian Studies Department graduate minor, the RIDGS graduate minor, as well as interdisciplinarily across multiple departments and programs. Given the critical mass of units who have expertise in studying native histories, settler colonialism, indigenous cultural and political resistance, sovereignty and repatriation, the recruited students will have multiple intellectual intersections throughout the university. This cohort will help to showcase the future of graduate education, which we believe will best occur through collective support, mentorship, and interdisciplinarity.
We are delighted to have this opportunity, and we urge you all to help us quickly spread the word to prospective graduate students who are broadly engaged with critical indigenous studies to apply to the Department of American Studies PhD program at the University of Minnesota by December 1, 2018.

From Jimmy the Greek to whatever current incarnation of oddsmakers in Las Vegas will offer you this week's picks "free on a recorded message," there have always been people willing to give you their opinions on who will win a game, among any number of other crazy bets that gambling degenerates are willing to spend their hard-earned cash on. My colleague Sean Pendergast has a much better grasp on this whole betting thing, but does he or any of the Vegas bookies have a Komodo dragon?
Well, Moody Gardens does -- two, in fact. And in addition to this species being the largest lizards in existence -- though much smaller than what I normally imagine dragons to look like except for, of course, the band Imagine Dragons, who don't look like lizards at all -- they like them some football (or at least the leather because it is made of flesh and all). In fact, they made their picks for the Super Bowl and, if you are a Broncos fan and believe in the magic power of dragons, you might be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
The staff at Moody Gardens in Galveston put footballs with paint on them representing the team colors of the Broncos and Seahawks inside the cage of the animals. Both Murphy and Diablo made their way to the Broncos ball first, obviously crowning that team the favorite.
Komodo dragons are some of the most deadly hunters in the world. If you recall, it was a Komodo dragon that attacked Sharon Stone's husband back in 2001 after he unwisely got into its cage on a private tour at the LA zoo. He survived with all but his dignity intact.
My point is that, even though these aren't exactly the dragons of Khaleesi in Game of Thrones, they will mess you up, so if you know what's good for you, you'll bet on Denver. I hope you are listening, Vegas. I bet (get it?) this pushes the line -- currently making the Broncos one-point favorites -- to at least three.
The Komodo dragons will be unveiled in a new exhibit at Moody Gardens in Galveston on February 15.

ANVIL Frontman Says Metal Bands Capable Of Filling Arenas 'Will Become Something Of The Past'
"The Classic Metal Show" recently conducted an interview with frontman Steve "Lips" Kudlow of Canadian metal legends ANVIL. You can listen to the entire chat below. A few excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).
On whether there will be another wave of metal bands able to ascend to an arena-level status to take the place of METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST upon their retirement:
Lips: "There won't be. That will become something of the past. There's no such thing, and there is no infrastructure to create such a thing again. Once this era ends, it's over. That's it. Name one band — [there is] not one that is in their 20s filling arenas. It's not like 35, 40 years ago, when IRON MAIDEN started to make it, and JUDAS PRIEST; they were filling arenas, and they were in their 20s. It doesn't exist today. It's gone."
On what drives ANVIL to write and record new albums when the music business is in decline:
Lips: "You're right — there's no real record business and there is no money in royalties. But there is money and [a way] to make a living in playing live and selling merchandise. What the music has become, it's become your advertising jingle to sell t-shirts. [Laughs] Beyond that, there is no business. Streaming is now the be-all, end-all. The only physical sales are usually vinyl, and people are buying vinyl more out of collecting it rather than what they're using to listen to it with. To listen to it, you're better off using a CD, making files on your computer, or downloading it. Then you've got the highest-quality audio, but let's face it: vinyl is not the finest audio quality. [Laughs] They didn't create CD and digital sound for no reason. There's a lot of guys who want to argue that fact. Go ahead. Don't argue with me. Argue with the scientists that figured out how to get 20 to 20,000 Hz perfect, then tell me that vinyl does that and I'd say, 'No. It does not.' That's scientific and that's proof and that's the end of it. So, whatever you want to think and whatever you want to say or whatever your opinion, it's only an opinion. It's not based on anything but an opinion rather than facts. Frequency response is a frequency response and numbers don't lie. [Laughs]"
On why ANVIL continues to make full albums:
Lips: "I want to go tour. I want to go and make a living. I want to go and have fun. [Laughs] What other reason could you ever have for doing it?"
On how ANVIL funds the recording of their studio albums:
Lips: "We're a brand name getting an advance from a label; [that's]generally how we've been able to do it. That's been no problem. We did use Pledge [Music] for the last couple of albums, but they went and ripped off a whole bunch of bands and went out of business and ran with the money, so that doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore. It's certainly worked amazing, and, in fact, we were in the black before the album came out, the last couple of albums. I mean, I guess you could say the same thing about this one ['Legal At Last'], but it's a little bit different in the level. I'm not holding cash, but having said that, it's really tough. You break even. You break even. It's like I said, you're creating music to sort of boost your business for selling merchandise and to get yourself hired to play live. Ultimately, that's where you're making your money from. Thank goodness that recording doesn't cost an arm and a leg like it used to. There is no funding for it. Where are you going to get the money from? You can barely generate enough sales. These days, like the label that I'm signed to [Germany's AFM Records], I would imagine that they're going to do okay because there's going to be a certain amount of CDs sold. But moreover, there's going to be a lot of vinyl sold, and they're really going all out. They've got a number of different versions of the album coming out and different colors of vinyl. They're not being foolish. They know what they have to do in order to sell product. They'll recoup the money that they gave us to record it. Of course, for us, we're going to sell thousands of t-shirts. I'm going to make a living and I got hundreds and hundreds of shows to do this year. No problem on that level. It all works out. But for a lot of other bands, the bands that aren't a brand name, this, what I'm talking about, is a dream. That's pretty much a dream to make that come true, to make what I'm saying come true, man; [it's] that tough. I feel very, very fortunate of what's happened with my career, although some would say, 'Hey, man. You guys have been through hell.' I don't think I've been through hell like what a lot of bands are going through today. I'm very grateful for what I have and what I've got going. So that's how I feel about it. I'm having a great time. It's a great way to retire from hard, physical labor, like doing deliveries for a catering company. I don't have to do that anymore and I haven't had to do it for the last 13 years. I think I'm doing very well and I'm a very, very content and happy individual, I'm glad to say."
On the musical direction of "Legal At Last":
Lips: "The diversity — it's a massive, diverse album, particularly the different aspects of what metal is. It's like all the different facets. Each song is its own unique little thing. It's not a one-feel album. It's extremely diverse in keys, in pitch, in tempos, subject matter. That's actually pretty remarkable, really, yet, somehow, it's all ANVIL. You're going to find flavors of BLACK SABBATH, you're going to find flavors of DEEP PURPLE, you're going to find flavors of, I don't know, TED NUGENT. There's all kinds of little flavors from all over the eras of rock and metal in this album. It's not one-dimensional. It's very, very multi-dimensional. It's quite unique. It's quite interesting."
"Legal At Last" is due on February 14 via AFM Records as a digipak, on digital, black vinyl and some limited colored vinyl. ANVIL recorded the new disc at Soundlodge studios in Rhauderfehn in the northwest of Germany.
Though initially a four-piece band, ANVIL's current lineup includes Kudlow, drummer Robb Reiner and bassist Chris Robertson.
ANVIL gained popularity and new fans since the 2008 theatrical documentary "Anvil: The Story Of Anvil", which is currently available on Netflix.

The unlikely story concerns a spaceship that lands on Earth from somewhere a lot less accommodating. On board are the space aliens' grazing animals, the gorgons. These are huge, crab-like monsters that quickly balloon up to a gigantic size and then proceed to devour any humans in sight. Soon the space aliens are split between the loner who would rather forget the gorgons and just stay here, and his two evil opponents. The single good guy appears to be the only hope for saving the people of the earth from turning into a snack food. Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi Read Less

Science Fiction Drama
A good science fiction movie.
Written in the style of the 1950's or 1960's monster movies. The special effects from earth are technically believable; and kind of cleaver.
