dance like no one's watching
We convince ourselves that life will be better after
we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are
frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll
be more content when they are. After that, we're
frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will
certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.
We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our
spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer
car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than
right now. If not now, when?
Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's
best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy
anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes from Dr. Marc
Barsouna. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me
that life was about to begin - real life. But there
was always some obstacle in the way, something to be
gotten through first, some unfinished business, time
still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life
would begin. At last it dawned on me that these
obstacles were my life".
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no
way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure
every moment that you have and treasure it more because
you shared it with someone special, special enough
acupunctureinfertilitycenter.com
to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting until you finish school,
until you go back to school,
until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds,
until you have kids, until your kids leave the house,
until you start work, until you retire,
until you get married, until you get divorced,
until Friday night, until Sunday morning,
until you get a new car or home,
until your car or home is paid off,
until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter,
until you are off welfare,
until the first or fifteenth,
until your song comes on,
until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up,
until you die, until you are born again
to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.
In Memory of my Father, Mother and Brother

ONLY AN OCEAN AWAY
From her Eden Concert & Album
I see a shadow
every day and night.
I walk a hundred streets
of neon lights,
only when I'm crying.
Can you hear me crying.
you always wanted more,
chasing illusions
that you're longing for.
Wish I wasn't crying.
There's an ocean between us.
You know where to find me.
You reach out and touch me.
I feel you in my own heart.
More than a lifetime.
Still goes on forever.
But it helps to remember
you're only an ocean away.
Was there a moment
when I felt no pain.
I want to feel it in my life again.
Let it be over now.
Oh Oh over now.
Cause I remember
all the days and nights
we used to walk the streets
of neon lights
Oh I want you here with me.
Oh be here with me.
More than a lifetime
still, goes on forever.
But I'll always remember
~~ Personal Information~~
My wife and I lived in Foothill Ranch, CA. with our companion, a long haired Peruvian Guinea Pig, named Grayson, a gift given to me on Christmas Eve, 1997 by my wife, during one of her visits to California, prior to her moving here from our home in Florida in December 2000. He was so named since he looks a lot like me, with respect to the beard anyway. The idea was that he would provide companionship, reduce loneliness, reduce stress and be a calming factor. It didn't work! He's very human like, in that unless he needs something, he ignores me, and is quite indifferent. If I am eating something he'll crawl up on my lap to see if there is anything that he wants. Other than that, I might as well be dead, for all he cares. The ultimate irony .. I have to spend an exorbinant amount of time prepping his room and food supply, when I leave on one of my many trips! So much for companionship! The poor chap was sent to FL for safekeeping, September 1999 where he could can play with my son's 2 other Guinea Pigs. Grayson was once again "smuggled" into CA during the December 2000 plane ride!
Sad to note that Grayson "passed on" August 1, 2003. Grayson will be missed. We have now adopted a new "piggie" May 2004, another Peruvian Silkie, but reddish brown. She remains without a name, and we simply call her "liitle girl"! Due to significant traveling, we gave the "little girl" to a family who could take care of her.
Foothill Ranch is as the name implies, up in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. It borders Mission Viejo, and is within 30 minutes from Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Irvine, San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente. I'm only an hour or so from San Diego or Los Angeles. The area we lived in backs up to the Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park, where I enjoy hiking whenever I can. We now live in Lake Mission Viejo, CA and Mission Viejo Painted Trails.
Our older son is an attorney, graduate of the University of North Carolina Law School. Our younger son graduated from Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL, with a degree in communications and a degree in political science, and is a Assistant Media Manager with PETA.
Since I rarely sleep much, it wouldn't be all that unusual to find me on-line at odd hours in the early morning hours, responding to E-Mails. Our free time is spent either boating, driving down to Dana Point Marina or Laguna Beach, and walking along the coast and cliffs that overlook the Pacific, hiking, driving to the desert or taking 4X4 drives up into the mountains, especially up to Santiago Peak (5,760'), which I have pictures in the Whiting Picture Page, located below. I also enjoy distributing nuclear related news to more than 5,000 members currently, and responding to postings. Radsafe has been a tremendous vehicle to impart news and knowledge transfer to the nuclear community, and I have met a significant number of individuals, due to this communication forum.
You will note many picture pages below, that chronicle various times within my life over the past 10 years. Buying a digital camera has facilitated timely display of the places I travel to, or, reflect my days of hiking, boating, etc.
This Website is a means to express one's self, but as in life, in the bigger scope of things, it is as meaningless and offers only a fleeting look into one's world. The computer emulates life, in that it allows one to create on a whim, as well as to terminate on a whim.
This is a letter of appreciation forwarded to several esteemed Japanese and Taiwanese colleagues on March 6, 2000 after the Tokaimura nuclear accident:
The captioned information was provided by Dr Sandy Perle, Director Technical, ICN Worldwide Dosimetry Division, ICN Biomedicals, Inc., USA, for your reference. If you want to know more further details, please contact Dr Perle directly.
Meanwhile, we, all the people of Taiwan, would like to express our deepest thanks to Dr Perle's concerning on Tokaimura's nuclear accident problems, etc.

Irish Water seeking approval for €500m wastewater scheme in Dublin
Wednesday, June 20, 2018 - 08:24 AM
Irish Water has said it is hopeful that it will get approval for a major new wastewater scheme for Dublin.
The project is expected to cost more than €500m.
A planning application for the Greater Dublin Drainage Scheme is being lodged with An Bord Pleanala today.
The scheme includes a new treatment facility in Clonshaugh, and a storage facility at Newtown near Kilshane Cross.
If approved, the scheme will be able to treat wastewater for up to half a million people in north county Dublin and parts of Kildare and Meath.
Irish Water says the project is needed in order to facilitate the growth of the city up to 2050.
Project Manager Jane Chambers from Irish Water says the project should not have a major impact on local communities.
"We have ensured that all of the issues in term of traffic, odour, dust, they are all captured in our environmental studies and we have mitigation measures that have been built into the construction," she said.

Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes w/ Looka Looka Looka
With Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes returning to the crooked i yet again, it's probably safe to say they've come to like our town, which is good, because there's plenty to like about the Nashville, Tenn. band. The quartet's 2011 release "Civilized Man" was named to Amazon's Top 100 Albums of the Year list, with catchy-as-hell track "Shoe Fits" landing at their No. 7 track of 2011, so this bands got the goods for a Sunday night out on State Street.
Sounds of Summer concert series kicks off
We talk all the time about how much there is to do in Erie in the summer, and for most people that's true. For some, possibly some members of our senior community, many of these events may be a bit much.

Home Press Releases Food & Agriculture
Dairy Farm Group egg supplier reported to the Singapore Food Agency following investigation
Equitas
Video showing potential food safety risks and animal welfare issues that undermine the Singapore Quality Egg Scheme is submitted to the SFA by an international NGO
An international consumer protection organisation has filed a complaint with the Singapore Food Agency this week following an investigation into a Singapore farm that produces eggs for Giant and Cold Storage in "battery cage" egg production facilities. The Dairy Farm Group, the Hong Kong-based retail group that owns Giant and Cold Storage, is one of the last multinational food retailers that still accept eggs from suppliers using caged egg production.
The Singapore Quality Egg Scheme, managed by the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) under the SFA, was introduced in 1999 to encourage domestic production to international standards. In 2019 approximately 528 million hen eggs were laid in Singapore, the highest production volume for the past ten years.
Under SQES, local poultry layer farms are required to ensure that their facilities are hygienic and quality control monitoring systems are well maintained at all times. The eggs produced undergo monthly inspection and freshness tests by AVA to verify their quality. The date of production and farm code is also stamped on every egg to ensure traceability.
The investigation video footage, taken at Chews Agriculture Pte. Ltd in Singapore, was submitted to the Singapore Food Agency in a formal complaint that called attention to potential food safety risks and animal welfare problems at the facility. The footage shows chickens packed in small cages, uniformed workers grabbing birds by the neck, and cages coated with dirt. The video was released by Equitas, an international consumer protection organisation based in the UK and operating across Asia.
"Equitas is committed to highlighting the risks of caged egg production for consumers as well as animals, said Equitas spokesperson Bonnie Tang. "The Dairy Farm Group is selling eggs laid under conditions which we believe violate the Singapore Quality Egg Scheme. It's time for Dairy Farm to catch up with international retailers and set an earlier timeline for ending the sale of all eggs from caged hens."
The Dairy Farm Group, a subsidiary of the Jardine Mattheson Group, is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange and operates the Giant and Cold Storage brands. Cold Storage is the island's oldest established supermarket operator with over 100 years of experience in Singapore, and operates 35 outlets.
While most other multinational food retailers operating in Asia have set a timeline for shifting to sell only "cage-free" eggs, including Tesco, Costco, METRO, Marks&Spencer, ALDI, Auchan and Carrefour, Dairy Farm Group has not done so. In Singapore, Dairy Farm announced it would make its own-brand eggs cage-free at Cold Storage outlets by 2028, though the move will cover only a small percentage of the company's total egg use in the country.
Research by the European Food Safety Authority and others has found that caged egg farms are up to 25 times more likely to be contaminated with key strains of salmonella compared to "cage-free" egg farms. According to the Singapore Ministry of Health, the incidence rate of notified Salmonella infections increased from 4.7 per 100,000 population in 2003 to 35.9 per 100,000 population in 2015 and appears to be trending upwards. In December 2020, three children aged six and under were hospitalised due to cases at a Singapore pre-school.
Over fifty food companies including Subway, Burger King, Nestle, and Unilever have committed to using only cage-free eggs in Singapore within the next several years. Battery cage egg production has been banned throughout the European Union as well as in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, India, and elsewhere, with many countries banning caged egg production entirely.
The complaint filed with the SFA this week follows investigations into Dairy Farm Group egg suppliers in other regions. News outlets in Hong Kong including HK01, RTHK, and Apple Daily broke an investigation last June into the company's suppliers in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In March of last year, a supplier to Giant and Cold Storage grocery stores in Malaysia was cited by the Malaysian Department of Veterinary Services for food safety and animal welfare violations.

Trend Micro Research Finds Growing Cyber Threats Targeting eSports Industry
New report predicts escalating attacks by cybercriminals and players
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced the findings of new research predicting multiple cyber threats to the fast-growing electronic sports (eSports) sector. Though cybercriminals have been targeting the gaming community since 2010, eSports players, gaming companies, sponsors and viewers will be more at risk over the coming years from data theft, ransomware, DDoS, hardware hacks and cybercrime-as-a-service.
The eSports industry has grown rapidly in popularity over recent years and is projected to reach $1.7B in revenue by 2021. It has also evolved to include a professional sporting league, with stadiums selling out to host competitions and top players earning millions. This growth is attractive for financially motivated criminals.
"If there's one thing we know about malicious actors, it's that they follow the money. Trend Micro has already observed financially motivated groups taking advantage of security gaps to target the gaming industry for financial gain, and we expect the same in eSports," said Jon Clay, director of global threat communications for Trend Micro. "As eSports becomes a billion-dollar industry, it's inevitable that attackers will look to capitalize over the coming years. We predict the sector will experience the same kind of attacks as the gaming industry, but on a much larger scale, with financially motivated actors getting involved for monetary and geopolitical reasons."
Based on this research, Trend Micro predicts cybercriminals will ramp up their efforts to make money from ransomware aimed at sponsors and players, DDoS-for-hire services, breaches of personal information (PII), services to illegally boost gaming scores, and stolen gaming accounts. Weak password and authentication security, which is already enabling widespread account takeover, will continue to play a role in making these attacks possible.
The impacts from breaches, ransomware, DDoS and other attacks on gaming companies and sponsors can be severe, leading to damaged brand reputation and revenue loss. The servers used by companies to host valuable gaming assets are a prime target for exploitation by hackers.
To protect these valuable assets, the eSports industry should leverage a multi-layered defense system to protect servers and virtually patch known vulnerabilities.

Sense if the frog touches the finish area.
If the frog touches the finish area, then do stuff.
Keep track of the speed (of the cars and frogger).
Every 4th level, increase the speed of the cars.
We have already created a finish area, but now we're going to create a more advanced finish area.
We want to add a new if code that only works if the frogger is still alive. Where do you add this new code?
Do a "victory glide" back to the starting location.
While gliding, be sure to set a sound, some words, and (WEIRD) make sure that the frog is still alive!!!!
Also known as "Stop the Cheaters!"
Play around with your game right now, and you'll discover that you can stop and start the game with your frog anywhere!
... Even right beside the Finish Area!!
This video only has a few instructions, but it makes the Frog start at the beginning every time!
No video game is complete without some way of telling who is the best!
For this game, we'll keep score by creating a variable called "Points".
Where would you add points?
Where would you take points away?
On YouTube, starwars1744 asked: "Does anyone know how to make the points not go less than zero (no negative score)??"
For my solution, after I subtracted 15 points, I checked to see if Points was less than 0. If it was, then I set Points to 0.
Of course, if we're going to keep track of points, we should also keep track of the level each player achieves.
Levels. ... You wouldn't think it would be that complicated ... ... and it isn't!!
As we move up the levels, we should see the cars moving faster, right?
But if the cars are getting faster, shouldn't the frogger get faster too?
This does get a bit complicated, but stick with it!
... but not by that much!
We really did need to test our game!
To only increase the speed every 4th level, try this!
Trust me, if the game speeds up too fast, then nobody will want to play it for more than a minute.

Letter from David L. Swain to [ Charles Manly ], October 7, 1856
Swain, David L. (David Lowry), 1801-1868
Chapel Hill, 7 Oct. 1856
Your note of the 4th by some oversight at the post-office did not reach me until late yesterday evening & this morning brought me that of the 6th with Judge Saunders's letter enclosed.
Hedrick has the courage of a lion and the obstinancy of a mule. He can neither be frightened, coaxed, nor diplomatized into anything. He rarely asks advice and never follows it. He consulted me as to the propriety of replying to Alumnus, and entered into the contest in opposition to the most earnest circumstances. He communicated his doctrines to reply and exhibited the reply itself to no one but his wife. He will lie in the tracks without moving a muscle, and I am not certain that he does not covet the crown of martyrdom.
Has the Ex. Com. the power of a motion? It has, if it can be conferred by Ordinance. But can the Board delegate the power of approachment and removal to a Committee? If it can is it expedient? "If it were well when done, twer well, twere done quickly." As the ball was not taken at the first hop, will it not be better to bring the resolutions of the Faculty to bear upon him at the present, and postpone the exercise of Supreme authority, until the election is over and the Board in session?
If you award the crown of martyrdom immediately and Col. Fremont succeeds in the election, you make his future. He understands this too well to think for a moment of resignation. Sparing him at the present will gain the free soiler, new strength at the South, which the charge of persecution for opinion sake will add to the tempest of excitement which is sweeping over the North. If you proceed to extremities, at once, I would avoid a political issue, and assume the ground taken by the Faculty and approved by the Trustees, in the Arch Bishop case, a violation of the usages of the institution, not as a free soiler, but a partisan.
The accompanying correspondence, you may show to Judge Saunders, to remind him of my arraignment before the Board of Trustees, by our friend John D. Hawkins 20 years ago, for permitting the late Perrin Busbee to advocate a dissolution of the union on the public stage. In the matter of politics, no one knows when, and what issues may arise, and freedom of speech on religious and political matter must be restrained, if restrained at all, very skillfully.
The boys exhibited transparencies, hung & burnt in effigy Saturday night and again last night, but the affair was neither very noisy nor tumultuous, and the Faculty gave themselves no great trouble about it. Unless excited by foreign influences I do not apprehend serious commotions.
Herrisse , was I understand permitted by the Secretary, to append some remark to his name. He is a great admirer of Hedrick , & has I fear written something foolish, or worse. If so & you publish, as the appendage ought not to be then, strike it out, and suffer him to illuminate the benighted world, in a separate article. If you think proper to do so, you may prepare a
history of the proceedings of the Faculty, in such form as you may consider most advisable without confining yourself to the removal.
Let me know day by day, anything that may be necessary to enlightened action.
Yours very sincerely,
D. L. Swain

In college I thought it would be interesting to take a class on Religion. Since I grew up in the church I thought that I might do well in this class because of my previous knowledge. This class covered the Abrahamic religions of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into though. This class wasn't directly edifying to my faith but I can now look back on it and say that it was perhaps one of the greatest classes I could have taken to shake me from a slumber of apathy toward church doctrine.
Around the same time I was in college, the Davinci Code book by Dan Brown was released, followed a few years later by the movie. The basic plot of this movie is that the early church fathers forbade a certain gospel of Mary Magdalene from becoming part of Holy Scripture. This was an attempt to suppress the truth about who Jesus was for political purposes. It is extrapolated from the gospel of Mary (a non-canonical work) that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a child together and that child had descendants who are still around to this day. I read the book and later watched the movie. I wanted to get a perspective from secular culture what exactly they were questioning about the church.
I clearly remember being in a lab for this class and having a vague discussion about the Council of Nicea and that the gospels that were included in the canon were only decided by a close vote. There were also implications that Constantine, who was Emperor at the time, used his power to sway some of the results. These "facts" shocked a lot of the students. I remember one girl in the class saying that she grew up in the Catholic Church and was never told any of these things. So, the feelings of being lied to by her church were sowed into her mind. I also had never considered these things and was never taught any of these doctrines so I didn't know how to respond, but I was highly skeptical. I credit my skepticism to the Holy Spirit's ministry of discernment in my life. Though I did not know how to respond, I knew that there was a deeper motivation for trying to undermine the scriptures. I was certain that there was a proper explanation from the church's perspective. But I do have to say that I was disappointed that these doctrines were not discussed at a younger age so that I could be thoroughly equipped for a situation like this.
Over the past two millennia there has been various times where the books that were included in scripture were questioned. Even today we see additional Apocryphal books of the Catholic Bible. The Eastern Orthodox Bible also varies a bit from the Protestant Bible that I personally use (as do millions of other Christians).
The Old Testament Canon was put together in the form of the Septuagint a few hundred years before Christ was born. In the Old Testament Canon there was widespread agreement on what books would be included in scripture. We see a clear transition from the closing words of Malachi that a messenger and then the Messiah were soon to come. The New Testament Gospel seamlessly picks up where Malachi left off by identifying John the Baptist as this Messenger that prepared the way for the coming of Jesus.
Early in the church it was clear that the ones closest to Jesus were the ones whose writings were found to be trustworthy and worth reading. Many of these letters and documents were distributed to the various churches and later copied. The early church, like today's world had various sects that called themselves Christians but their beliefs varied greatly from teaching of Jesus and the apostles. These sects were called the Gnostics, and the Apostles refer to these false teachings that were already pervading the church even in the first century.
So, when we see some of the Gnostic gospels come forth, they were not regarded by the mainstream church as being in line with the teaching of the Old Testament, Jesus, or the Apostles. In fact, many of these Gnostic gospels were written in the 2nd century long after the Apostles had died. Even the core church fathers such as Clement and Irenaeus who were close to the original Apostles had writings that they themselves did not feel should be included in the canon of scripture.
In 170, The Muratorian Fragment was written which gives a list of the books that the core church believed was worthy of reading and regarded as sacred scripture. This fragment is astonishingly similar to what we have today in scripture. Gospels of Mary, Thomas, Judas, etc were not on that list.
In 202, Irenaues wrote his book "Against Heresies" where he spoke against the heretical Gnostics who preached destructive doctrines that were contradictive to scripture. In this book Irenaeus gives a list of the books that he believed worthy of reading. The 27 book canon of the New Testament we have today is very similar to his list. The discrepancies are that he excluded Philemon, 2 Peter, 3 John, and Jude. Also, he included 1 Clement and the Shepherd of Hermas. This is quite remarkable that at such an early date there was very little discrepancy with what we have today. It could be argued that the books he excluded were unknown of at the time. It is not too difficult to see why Irenaueus would include 1 Clement as a canonical gospel because of Clement's close relationship with the Apostles.
Notice that this is still about 150 years before Constantine would summon the bishops to the Council of Nicea. So to think, as my lab graduate assistant implied, that Constantine greatly influenced what was included in the canon we have today is dishonest and ignorant of historical facts. The canon was already mostly determined before the council even met. There was no close vote to determine which books should be included in the canon. In fact, it is remarkable to see that in 367, once Athanasius made a list of the books that we have today, there is very little chatter among the bishops of the church that a mistake had been made. Any chatter that was present was almost completely in regard to perhaps some of the books in our canon should not being included. There was little to no talk about the canon missing anything like many seem to think today. In other words, the issues that arose were in regard to exclusion, not inclusion.
When I look back at the experiences I, or others in church history have had, that some might fear would destroy the Christian faith, I see God's providence in the situation to refine His church by fire so that they grow in the truth. A modern theologian helped me grow in my understanding of how our Bible came to be. The heretic Arius was the means God used for Athanasius to grow in his understanding of the Trinity and share those doctrines with the church, which has now benefited from them for almost 1700 years. In the High Priestly prayer of John 17, Jesus prays to the father that we the church would not be taken out of the world, but that we would be sanctified in the truth. As Christians we become uncomfortable when someone questions our beliefs but what others mean for evil, God means it for good because we grow in our understanding of His word and church doctrine. We should welcome these challenges as a means to grow in our faith.


It goes without saying that as Christians we want to live a life that is pleasing to God.
Because of what Christ has done for us on the Cross, we have an ardent desire to live in a Scripture-honouring, Christ-exalting and God-glorifying way that not only is a pleasure to God but also demonstrates our deep commitment to Him and reveals the work of the Spirit in our lives. It is what He truly deserves.
There are many questions that come and lay siege to our hearts in our pursuit of Christ. Life itself thrusts upon on us that most pertinent question of whether or not, in the face of conflict or difficulty we are going to trust God. And the answer, even if in the moment of trouble we turn aside, is always yes. Other questions tease, provoke and challenge us.
Do I have your heart? – The question that never goes away.
The gauntlet cast at our feet is not done in an angry challenge and a preamble before the hostile action of an offended and malevolent supreme being. It is put there for our own good. When God reveals our heart to us it is so that we can see the distance that has come between us, always of our own doing, and to our own detriment. God is always looking for intimacy with us. It is one of the things that we were created for – and out of intimacy comes a heart of worship.
Peter faced the challenge of this question in the most severe way, being asked by Jesus, "Do you love me?" The question was loaded with intent. Not to nail Peter, or show him the error of his ways, or the inadequacy of his feeble attempts at following Christ – but to reveal his heart, and to invite him into a deeper place of communion with Himself.
How often have you done penance on account of your great sin?
