Gore carries Southern Miss past ULM and to sixth victory of the season
Published 10:29 pm Saturday, November 26, 2022

MONROE, La. — It took a month, a big fourth quarter and a career day from Frank Gore Jr., but Southern Miss finally reached its goal.
Gore rushed for a career-best 199 yards, and iced the game with a 33-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter, as Southern Miss defeated Louisiana-Monroe 20-10 on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.
Southern Miss (6-6, 4-7 Sun Belt Conference) earned its elusive sixth win that made it eligible to play in a bowl game. It had lost three in a row since getting win No. 5 against Louisiana-Lafayette on Oct. 27.
Southern Miss last qualified for a bowl in 2019. This is the 23rd time in 28 seasons it has been bowl-eligible.
Louisiana-Monroe (4-8, 3-5) hung tough, despite being nearly doubled up in total yardage. The Warhawks had 231 total yards while Southern Miss had 448. Southern Miss ran for 231 yards.
Southern Miss' defense also registered four sacks and 13 tackles for loss. ULM quarterback Chandler Rogers completed 17 of 27 passes for 122 yards and one touchdown, while running for 47 yards on 14 attempts.
"I personally think it started with the running game, both sides," Louisiana-Monroe coach Terry Bowden said. "We could not run the football and they consistently ran the football. When we couldn't run it, we were always in a passing situation and they were always in a blitz situation. We're playing into their hands."
Despite the lopsided difference in yardage, the score was tied at 10 entering the fourth quarter. Southern Miss took the lead with a 24-yard field goal by Briggs Bourgeois with 12:30 left, and then a big special teams play finally swung the momentum firmly toward the Golden Eagles.
A sack forced a punt, near midfield, which was blocked by Southern Miss' Brendan Toles. Cameron Knox recovered it at the ULM 33, and on the next play Gore broke a run off the right side for a touchdown and some breathing room.
Louisiana-Monroe got the ball two more times, but didn't get past Southern Miss' 44-yard line.
"They had a few more bullets in their gun," Bowden said. "I told our team, we just blinked. They didn't."

Siblings aren't great at keeping secrets from each other. Whether it's their lack of self-awareness (Angus and Rowan) or their bloody-mindedness in getting one up on the others (Finn), they are pretty hopeless. I took Finn and Angus swimming last week after work, to Loanhead, and bought them chips afterwards. "Don't say to anyone you got chips for supper", I cautioned. On our return, in storms Angus. "We got chips!" he immediately bellowed, tomato ketchup smeared across his face and greasy fingers waving in the air. Yesterday, since Sharon was going to a boat club barbecue, taking Sean and Angus, I agreed to Finn's request to go swimming with Rowan. "But don't say anything to your brothers," I warned. Down the stairs stomps Rowan, having fully changed into sun top and trunks. Had he been wearing a snorkel, flippers and a duck-shaped rubber ring, he couldn't have been more obvious! "Why is Rowan wearing his swimming stuff?" queried Angus as I bundled them out the door.
Sharon has enjoyed being back on the water in her few rows so far, although yesterday was rather windy and trying to organise a new crew was testing her patience. Finn also tested her patience on Saturday morning as she took him and Sean on their first 5k, a Park Run along the prom from Crammond. Megan and Freya were running with Gordon, the Barnes being up on a weekend visit. Sean managed his in 36 minutes and didn't stop once, which was a very good effort. Finn was in one of his more negative moods but did eventually complete the course. I met them with the wee two who resumed their swimming lessons on Saturday morning.
The Barnes girls came round on Friday afternoon and evening for a play and dinner, and Megan stayed over, much to the boys' delight. Sean had earlier proclaimed that "people from abroad and other places, like the Barries and the Kavanaghs and the Barnes are our real friends, more than the people from school" which reflects what a good time they've had over the summer, meeting others and playing amongst themselves, rather than seeking out their peers from school. We do tell them they are fortunate to have each other, but sometimes it can stop them making an effort to make friendships with others that they know through school and other activities, so they have to strike a balance.
Heavy showers have been a feature over the last while and Saturday was no different. Late in the afternoon, with Sharon at her Book Group afternoon tea, after the showers had cleared, I made a picnic tea and drove the boys down to Innerleithen, eventually locating the Golf Club by the river. Despite Angus's vocal dissent, we went for a walk up a forest path and down the deserted golf course, spotting some oystercatchers picking their way along the fairway. Dodging the showers, we drove further up the valley and parked by the river on one of the spots evidently used by wild campers. There we sat in a ring and ate our pasta and chicken sticks, in glorious peace and quiet (if Angus and Rowan would ever stop talking), until the dark clouds crept over the hill and the rain threatened once more. We timed it well! It made a nice change going for a picnic tea instead of a picnic lunch and the view north across the Lothians as we descended from the Lammermuirs was spectacular.
As well as completing some very good "kneeling dives" at Wester Hailes pool yesterday, Rowan also made an improvement on his cycling. He has been moaning, in inimitable Rowan, petted-lip fashion, that he doesn't have a talent (for sport) so we were encouraging him that cycling might be that talent. I put new pedals on the old silver bike and started wheeling him round the back grass, eventually giving him a shove to get him going. He did well on several attempts, travelling a good ten yards and braking to avoid collision with the trees or hedge. The next step is to get him out on a wider expanse of grass so he can go further, but he was pleased with his efforts.

Donna Louise Launches The Butterflies
Butterfly campaign takes flight for The Donna Louise
A hospice today launches a special campaign inspired by former service user Charlotte Thom which will culminate in a stunning butterfly themed art installation at the heart of the world-renowned gardens at the Trentham Estate.
Taking Flight, an inspiring temporary installation made up of 5,000 ceramic butterflies will take centre stage at Trentham Gardens from late May until early November, and each intricately made butterfly will be available to buy with all funds raised benefitting The Donna Louise Hospice for Children & Young People.
We're incredibly proud to be one of the businesses from Staffordshire and Cheshire who are supporting the project. In an echo of the World War One ceramic poppies, the butterflies will celebrate the Potteries' unique heritage while supporting unique, new facilities for children and young people who need hospice care.
The butterfly designs are echoes of paintings by Charlotte, who spent time at the Donna Louise and was a keen artist, completing an A-level in the subject before her death last year, aged 20.
A poignant video can be seen here, featuring Charlotte's grandmother Jenny Thom and her butterfly paintings – https://youtu.be/joTZP5UwYAs.
Simon Fuller, Chief Executive, said: "The Donna Louise supports hundreds of families across Staffordshire and South Cheshire who are living with the heart-breaking knowledge that they will almost certainly outlive their child.
"Until recently, the hospice was not able to support young people beyond their 19th birthday, so rather than a milestone to look forward to, approaching adulthood became a time of great stress and uncertainty for families. The Donna Louise therefore made a game-changing decision to expand their services to include teens as they become adults and promised to be there for families for as long as they need them.
"As a charity that relies almost exclusively on the generosity of the local community to make their work possible, this was not a decision that was taken lightly. Inspired by the need to continue caring for children and young people into adulthood and The Butterflies project was born.
"Charlotte was a familiar face at The Donna Louise from the age of seven. Her artwork was an inspiration and despite her life limiting illness, she developed into a fantastic ambassador for our hospice. It is wonderful to be able to remember her through The Butterflies project and her legacy will be the continued development of our hospice to support more children and young adults."
Each limited-edition ceramic butterfly is hand crafted in the heart of the world-famous Stoke-on-Trent Potteries and offers a chance to support The Donna Louise and to own a little piece of the city's history. Due to generous sponsorship from many businesses in Staffordshire and Cheshire, 100% of the money raised from sales will go directly to the hospice.
The butterflies are now on sale, please go on line towww.thebutterflies.org.uk, each purchase includes one free day admission to Trentham Gardens, to view "Taking Flight" from the 25 May to 3 November 2019.
The butterflies are being crafted by two major names in Stoke-on-Trent's ceramics industry, Wade Ceramics and Johnson Tiles.
Mel Campbell, Director at Campbell Creative Consulting, leading on the project said: "Each butterfly is unique and has been crafted by the potters at Stoke-on-Trent ceramics experts Johnson Tiles – who made the poppies for the internationally acclaimed Tower of London art installation, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red commemorating the Centenary of World War One.
"The vibrant blue butterflies have then been glazed and finished to the highest standard by the world-renowned Wade Ceramics pottery in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent. These strictly limited-edition butterflies represent the finest artistry and expertise of The Potteries and are truly unique.
"Our vision is innovative and ambitious. It takes vital fundraising for The Donna Louise to new heights, raises awareness, builds a temporary tourist attraction for North Staffordshire, creating new awareness and lasting memories, and people gain the opportunity to combine an act of generous giving with the purchase of a unique ceramic butterfly, beautifully reflecting the artistry, industry and heritage of the Stoke-on-Trent Potteries."
The Donna Louise was founded with facilities to support children and their families, however, as some of the children reach young adulthood, the hospice has expanded its services. In 2018/19 a new facility has been built at The Donna Louise to provide care and support for teens as they become young adults. It is a wonderful, unique facility and we are delighted that money raised from The Butterflies will help to support this fantastic cause."
The support from sponsors ensures 100% of the profits from the sale of the butterflies goes to The Donna Louise.

Do they come with motion sensors?
Are these wall lights protected against seawater?
How do I instal an outdoor wall light?
Outdoor lights are a particularly good idea for three reasons: One, they make theoutside of your home safer as you and your visitors will be able to see pathways, entrances and gateways more clearly. Two, outdoor lighting improves security as burglars and vandals are less inclined to come near your property when they can be seen clearly. Three, impressive lighting can light up your home and add to its appearance and value.
These three reasons are equally valid whether we're talking about a private property, a rented house, a company building or a shop premises.
Lights.ie has a huge range of outdoor lighting for you to choose from. Whether you're looking for something discrete, a modern work of art or a state-of-the-art wall light that includes CCTV and motion detectors, come in and have a browse through the following sections.
All of our outdoor wall lights not only look great but they have been designed and built to the highest quality in the market. They are efficient, durable, weather-resistant, ingress protection certified for water and dirt resistance and come with full warranties. We have answered some of the most commonly-asked questions about our outdoor wall lights below.
If there's anything we haven't covered then please don't hesitate to contact one of our advisors here.
You can use the filter above to see lights in any one or more of these styles: antique, country house, rustic, designer, hotel, restaurant, industrial, maritime, Mediterranean, modern, office, Scandinavian, shop and vintage.
We have lots and lots of outdoor wall lights that have built-in motion detectors and dusk sensors - just use the filter option above to see them all. Our customers often tell us just how useful these lights are and how safe they make them feel as added protection against break-ins and vandalism. They also like the fact that the lights come on whenever they are needed, as the car pulls up to the house, for example, which is not only convenient but also very energy efficient.
What is the best type of bulb to use?
In our opinion and experience, LED is always the best way to go. The technology here has advanced a lot in recent years and LED lights use very little power and last for ages. These lights also light up immediately unlike other energy-saving bulbs.
If they are LED lights, they will probably have the bulbs built-in. To check, take a look at the specifications on the product page for that light. If they don't specify a base type then the light bulb will be built-in with a life span of between 20,000 and 25,000 hours.
All of our outdoor lights are weather-resistant and have an ingress protection (IP) code which shows how much protection each light has against the elements. Look at the specifications on the product page for a two-digit IP number - the first one represents protection from solid objects on a scale of 0 – 6 while the second represents protection from liquids on a scale of 0 – 8. If this number is 4 or greater you can instal the light outside.
We recommend not choosing aluminium or steel materials if you live near the sea. The salt air can cause corrosion and rust so choose "corrosion-resistant" in the filter above to find lights that are made from Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), heavy-duty plastic or brass.
If you are in any way unsure of what you are doing, please get in a qualified electrician and they'll instal your lights for you. On the other hand, they are quite easy to put up and we provide detailed step-by-step instructions with each light.
This depends on the light and your personal preference really. If it's a motion sensor light there will be recommendations in the manual but, generally, you should mount your light at a height where it won't dazzle you.
The best way to get parts such as replacement glasses is to contact the manufacturer directly. If you prefer, you can contact one of our customer service agents here and we'll put you in touch with the right people.


If you're still looking for a good or worthwhile new year's resolution, here's one for you: this year write at least one brief (about one paragraph) review of a book you liked on its Amazon page.
There are lots of good books out there with no reviews at all and, personally, I do read a good few of the Amazon reviews for various products, though I often come away with the distinct impression when I read the bad reviews that the person voicing their opinion has not, in fact, read the book (or whatever) to which they are apparently directing their ire. The worst example is probably the Amazon Kindle reviews page on the American site where the authors of a huge number of overwhelmingly negative reviews quite candidly state that although they've never seen a Kindle - and aren't often very sure just what it is - they've decided not to like it, thank you very much.
So buck the trend; find a book or cd or whatever you thought was good or even excellent, preferably one with no reviews (or reviews you wildly disagree with), and give it a quick write-up. It won't take five minutes during the morning coffee break and you'll feel all warm and accomplished afterwards because the chances are good that the author/musician/whoever will see your words.

2017 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell, Specs
Rob April 4, 2017 2017, Electric/Hybrid, Honda No Comments
Update, April 2017.
As we know, the hydrogen is a potential solution to the environmental issues and because of that fact, the Honda Company started with some basic researches on fuel cells back in the 1980s. Furthermore, back in 2002, the Honda became the first Company with the U.S. government permit to sell the vehicles with fuel cell technologies. Very fast after that, Honda started to leasing the vehicles in the U.S and in the Japan. Nine years ago, the Company started to leasing the FCX Clarity model. Furthermore, this model had advanced fuel cell stack, certainly innovative package as well as the new level of feel in the drive. 2016 is the year when Honda Company develops its fuel cell technologies in even higher level. In the following review, we will talk about the recently developed model named 2017 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell.
2017 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell
According to some pictures, the forthcoming model looks quite futuristic from the outside. First of all, let's start from the front side of this model. Up front, we can see the design that looks quite futuristic. Honda definitely wanted to provide something new that will represent a new era. Our opinion is that they definitely succeed in that intention. The whole front fascia is some kind of connection. Here we can expect unique shape with a distinctive appearance. When it comes to dimensions, this model will be about the same size as the Accord mid-size sedan.
However, it will look quite different. If we need to provide you some information about the look according to the pictures, we would say that this model looks like a combination of previous Clarity FCX sedan, Accord Crosstour fastback, and Honda Insight hybrid hatchback. We can anticipate flattering angles as well. The headlights(nine lamps/DRL) will be most likely powered by the LED technology, and they will be very thin. The roof will be most likely black, while the fog lights will be connected with the mentioned headlights. This model will be also an extremely light(20 percent lighter than standard aluminum-forged type). At the sides, this model will ride on futuristic and aerodynamic wheels that will be 18-inch large. Two new colors are Bordeaux Red Metallic Color.
The interior design of the recently developed model will be also very futuristic. Actually, the passenger space will be divided into four spaces, one for each passenger. The dashboard is very nicely and simply designed, and this dashboard is right in step with other current Honda vehicles. However, the instrument panel will offer more futuristic layout. The same case we can expect with the door handles and trims. When it comes to some other details inside, we can expect quite quality seats. Of course, the leather will be standard upholstery material for them. We can also expect leather on the steering wheel and most likely on the door trims.
Furthermore, this model will provide a lot of high-tech features inside as well as a lot of safety systems. This model will have a great infotainment system with so many options for connectivity. The climate control will be very quality and we can expect air quality sensor that will detect NOx, CO2 as well as other harmful substances. About safety(Honda Sensing), there is not much data, but the manufacturer claims that major goal is in prevent collisions.
Engine and Performance
The newly model will be powered by an electric motor(330 V to 500 V) and it will be capable of accommodating up to 174 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. The front wheel drive type will be standard. The electricity that will power this model will come from a fuel cell under the hood with the lithium-ion battery located under the front seats. This model will use Honda's new V Flow fuel cell stack. It will be smaller, but however more powerful. According to Honda, this model will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 9.2 seconds. This model has EPA rates at 366 miles of range from its 5.5 gallons. There will be two modes of driving, Sport and Normal, you guess that first one will be for the sharper ride.
Date of release and price
The 2017 Honda Clarity release date is expected to be late 2016 and it will be sold at a base price of $60,000
Older article, May, 2016.
Shoppers of hydrogen fuel-cell sedans will get a third option sooner than the end of the year. The renowned Japanese automaker previously pointed out at the 2015 Auto Show in Tokyo while unveiling the 2017 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell, which is a four-door sedan, will be available only at certain dealerships in Orange and Los Angeles counties, as well as in Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. The limitations are because of lack of fueling stations elsewhere and are standard working procedure for car manufacturers right now.
The automaker said that it would expand the accessibility of the Clarity model beyond leasing, and make the vehicle available in other areas of the Golden State because fueling stations and vehicle supplies become readily available. It may offer the 2017 Clarity outside California at some stage in the future. The automaker has planned to sell 200 units of Clarity in the first year, whereas the plug-in hybrid and battery-electric models could trade in the thousands all over the world.
2017 Honda Clarity Exterior
The 2017 Honda hybrid will be constructed on a new platform that will be shared with a committed plug-in hybrid version that Honda plans to introduce in 2018. This platform sharing will enable Honda to spread the expenses of the low-capacity Clarity to a model, which will likely to be sold in huge numbers than the fuel-cell sedan. The similar platform may also be exercised for a battery-electric sedan that Honda will introduce in 2018. While its major competitors, such as the Tucson Fuel Cell from Hyundai is derived from an existing version, and the Toyota Mirai exercises a distinctive platform, the 2017 Clarity will be the foundation for additional versions.
2017 Honda Clarity Interior
The cabin is designed to offer a comfortable sitting place for five people, including the driver. The new Clarity would borrow most of its interior styling cues from the two current fuel-cell concept sedans of Honda. The 2017 model Clarity would feature Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as the Honda Sensing package of safety features.
Honda has followed a diverse approach to the expansion than either of the other automakers that have offered so far. It uses a fresh, more compact fuel-cell heap that allows all parts to fit beneath the hood. Hydrogen-storage containers situated beneath the rear seat and between the back wheels make the new Clarity move to a maximum distance of 300 miles. 2017 Clarity comes with a hydrogen storage tank with sufficient capacity that can drive the vehicle to a maximum distance of 434 miles.
The 2017 Honda fuel cell is a mid-size vehicle whose front axle is motivated by a powerful electric motor.
The 2017 Honda Clarity electric engine will be capable of generating the maximum power of 174 ponies and a maximum torque of 221 pounds per foot. The electrical energy powering the motor originates from a lithium-ion battery set, which is located on the floor. The battery will be charged by a fuel cell stack while the vehicle is on the go. The vehicle also gets better acceleration that makes it attain the speed of 60 mph from the start in 9 seconds.

Q: What will the output of using implicit and explicit wait together using Selenium? How Selenium will behave for following conditions:
WHEN ELEMENT IS FOUND AT 6 SEC
--Implicit wait = 5sec Explicit wait= 10 sec
WHEN ELEMENT IS FOUND AT 6 SEC
--Implicit wait = 10sec Explicit wait= 5 sec
WHEN ELEMENT IS FOUND AT 11 SEC
--Implicit wait = 10sec Explicit wait= 10 sec

A: To clear off all the speculations, as per the Selenium official docs:

Warning: Do not mix implicit and explicit waits. Doing so can cause unpredictable wait times. For example, setting an implicit wait of 10 seconds and an explicit wait of 15 seconds could cause a timeout to occur after 20 seconds.

The Bible has shaped and impacted the world in countless ways throughout the years. It has impacted my life personally beyond words can describe. To even begin to describe the impact of this book seems impossible, but it's my belief that Museum of the Bible has captured the impact of the Bible in the most tangible way possible.
I was privileged to attend a pre-launch event at the museum in Washington DC with my family and wanted to share my experience with you. I has a little help in this episode with our 5 year old who had the time of her life at the museum.

Open Source Software: All or Nothing at All?
The specific features that an open core vendor holds back depend on the product, but the typical definition is that if you're an enterprise running the application in a production setting, you'll want the enterprise edition.
Now, I'm a pretty big fan of open source software — I can't tell you off hand how the system I'm running scores on the Virtual Richard M. Stallman test (there doesn't appear to be a vrms package available for Fedora 13), but with the exception of some codecs, hardware driver blobs, and Web-based applications, my home and work computers run open source software, from the core to the edge.
And not only am I a fan of the software itself, but I'm a fan of the open source model. I think it's a great way to get things done. Openness means that a solution to the problem at hand could come from anywhere. For instance, I don't know who's responsible for writing the drivers that have turned the Linux-incompatible multifunction printer I bought four years ago (foolishly, without researching it first) into a Linux-compatible MFP, but since the Web site of my printer's maker remains silent on Linux support, I'm pretty sure it wasn't them.
It's due in part to that open source fandom, and part to the enterprise products focus that comes with working for eWEEK so long that I have a tough time getting upset at the open core vendors. Enterprise software can be very cool, but very expensive. In nearly all cases, enterprise applications could be of use to many more organizations than can afford to buy them. The applications that have been popping up under open core licensing schemes have the promise of expanding access to worthwhile enterprise technologies to many more organizations.
Now, if the community version of an application doesn't do everything that the enterprise edition does, does that make the community option "crippleware?" I'd say that depends on what you're looking to do with the software.
Several months ago I reviewed an open core application, Talend Open Studio, which I've since used in a couple of small projects–for which, incidentally, my budget was zero. Call it crippleware if you like, but it worked for me.
There's nothing strange about any open source software company presenting customers with the "free for enthusiasts, developers or small projects, but if you're using it in production, you're really going to want to get the paid version" line of marketing. Isn't that exactly how Red Hat's sales pitch goes?
I don't mean to equate Red Hat with these open core vendors–the fact that Red Hat makes all of its works available under a free software license, thereby opening the door for clone challengers like CentOS and Oracle Unbreakable Linux, is a major differentiator, and a big reason why Red Hat looms so large in the industry.
The bigger reason why Red Hat looms large is that Red Hat's software solves organizations' problems, and this is the best way to judge the open core vendors. Is the community edition too crippled to be useful? Then I won't use it, and I won't recommend it. It's not as though there's a shortage of lousy, overpromise/underdeliver software out there.
Particularly in product classes where there's no inexpensive or open source option at all, an offering that combines an open core with an optional closed crust is certainly better than nothing. At best, this software can put enterprise technologies within reach for more organizations.
At worst, we can all ignore it.

I wanted to get these up here before Passover ended and they became irrelevant for another year.
I have been toying with the idea of drawing comics to submit for publication (not in a newspaper, but maybe in a well-known national magazine), and if I had gotten some of these drawn a few months ago, maybe I would have sent them (well, potentially one of the three). But I didn't. So whatever.
I should explain that we often substitute a carrot for a shank bone because we have never been able to successfully figure out where to get a shank bone. Also, um, gross. The hardboiled egg is actually supposed to be a roasted egg, but…I don't know how to roast an egg. I had to look up how to hardboil one.
This last comic is part of a (now) long-running joke between B and I that began somehow when I took a boot over to a local place called Cecil's Shoe Repair. I cannot explain more than that because like so many things, I don't really understand what has happened. But if you need your boot fixed, I recommend Cecil's.
* "Pareve" means something that, according to the laws of kashrut, can be eaten with both meat and milk dishes. Usually it can be thought of as vegetarian, but that's not always the case–for example, gelatin and rennent are both considered pareve (because they are too far removed from the animals to really be animal products by kosher standards) but they are strictly speaking not vegetarian. Also fish are considered pareve. I don't really understand why, but hey, I'm not a mashgiach.
Also I should state up-front that I'm not actually sure if "hun" means chicken in the sense of the animal or chicken in the sense of the meat. Some languages have two words for the two items (like how farmers raise cows but people eat beef). I did this using Google Translate late at night. I don't actually speak Yiddish.
What else. Oy. I have had a really hard week. I'll say it. And yeah, I know people who are having actual hard weeks, and I feel really bad using language that might equate my life with theirs, as if having to go to Walgreens at 9pm to buy extra half-price Easter candy were really "difficult" in some way.
But I do feel just…ground down, unable to concentrate, tired, distracted…part of it is that I am a mammal, and I guess I need to actually take sleeping seriously instead of EVERY NIGHT setting my alarm for six hours after I go to bed, as if somehow I will suddenly (re)manifest the ability to get out of bed at that hour, which happens to be my current strategy. Then I lie in bed for an hour questioning my life choices. It's fun.
I have been upping my mileage running, and also eating a lot of matzo**, which is lower in calories than my usual breakfast, so that might account for the low energy as well. (Although I have been also upping my Easter candy consumption.) We've also had a parade of contractors through our house as we prepare to fix some insulation issues, and then on Tuesday during the first rainstorm of the year, a window suddenly began leaking. We relatively quickly found the source of the problem and kludged together a repair (okay, B climbed a ladder [during a storm–eek] and pushed the flashing back into place). Since then it has continued to rain, meaning that it hasn't really had a chance to dry out so we can fix it permanently. Also, B is having knee surgery next week, and I'm nervous about it. More nervous than he is, actually.
Okay, I'm pretty tired and I still have to take the dogs out so I'm going to wrap this up. Happy Passover to those who celebrate it, Happy Easter to those who celebrate it, and also Happy Ostara, and any other holidays I'm missing that might have happened. Happy National Poetry Month too. My favorite poem used to be "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," but I've been getting a lot of rejection letters lately and it's becoming harder to keep an ironic distance from the narrator. So, uh, let's go with "Personal Ruin" by Claire Wahmanholm, which is in some respects on a similar theme but a lot more hip. What's your favorite poem?
** I accidentally for various reasons bought five pounds of matzo. As of right now, one week from the first night Seder, I have eaten…one box (one pound). That's with the people at the Seder helping me, and also with a friend coming over and eating some.

African architects and designers, we do have them full of competence and professionalism. Africa has all the potentials and resources, both human and material resources needed to be developed.

Musicians, photographers, designers and artists in general are usually referred to as the creative types. However, the ability to create is a necessity which goes beyond the "art" profession and also comes into play for people who write reports, a teacher who produces lesson activities for students, an executive who is expected to come up.
We are living in a highly competitive world, whereby everyone wants to sell their idea to the world. Given this reality, the only option for every project, person and business to rise above competition is to stand out. Thinking out of the box, bringing art into your science, showing originality, being creative. Creativity is a.

Happy Fall Equinox everyone! As we move into the autumn season, and the direction of the West on the medicine wheel, we are experiencing a reflective healing of ourselves and all our ancestors. Just like last year that doorway to the dead has opened again for healing and a weaving of their wisdom into our lives. So don't be afraid of that bump in the night or memories of loved one's who have passed over, they are here to create a connection of love. Mother Mary's message comes to us this month to help us continue to see Divine's point-of-view. We have all struggled to understand life at times and as we heal our ancestors we find ourselves explaining Divine's plan without good or bad, but as simply just as is. Let Mother's words help you to make peace with the constant push and pull of good and bad/ right and wrong of our world today and find a new balance of living.
Love to you and all your relations!
Voices from Spirit – Channeled Message from Mother Mary – The Flowers or the Thorns?
My Beloved Children, today I'd like to share with you one of my favorite parables about how we live life. For life is what we live everyday. Some days life can be one pain after another as we seem to fall and stumble through our lessons and decisions. But other days life seems like sweet delights, filled with excitement, surprises, and love. When we understand the connection of life and the balance between lessons and joy we begin to realize all days are really both pain and pleasure. Our point-of-view can change depression to joy, financial loss to abundant spiritual gain, and overwhelming loss to grateful understanding. Each day you chose how you will live that day. As much as we desire a blissful life our daily lives will still bring us lessons. We can then turn fear to joy with understanding that our tests are really joys. Here is my story for you because you are all my children, my roses, in my garden of life.
A small child wandered around a garden one afternoon enjoying the smells of sweet flowers, warm sunshine from above, and the soft dirt between her toes. As she walked into the rose garden she noticed a most interesting sight. There before her were rose bushes of every size, color, and shape. Some rose bushes were huge with many blossoms and flowers. Some roses were thorny and covered in thick spines. Still others were small and had just begun to put forward their first bud of the season. Each rose-bush had one person attending the flowers or thorns. For those who chose the thorns their hands were covered with painful scratches and cuts. They wept from their pain and suffering. While those who chose the flowers they were delighted from the smell and colors of the blossoms. She wondered why those who chose the thorns could not see all the beautiful flowers and buds above their heads. And as she looked again at the people who had chosen the flowers she noticed their rose bushes had no body, shape, and many broken branches.
As she stood in the warm light of the garden she was joined by another gardener. A tall woman of many years dressed simply in a blue robe and bare feet.
The woman turned to the little girl and said "I see you have found my garden of life".
"I just see a rose-bush" spoke the girl.
The little girl looked at her feet were a little rose-bush with just a few leaves and one small bud began to open to reveal the brightest red flower she had ever seen.
The woman bent down and kissed the little girl's cheek and said "for you my beloved, for you are one of my rose bushes that blooms wisdom and insight." And with the light of Divine Love the little girl awoke in her new mother's arms as a baby upon the Earth to begin life again.


rain, thunder, lightning, and some more rain make for a great excuse to spend a little time doodling with some watercolor pencils in my moleskine journal! enjoy your weekend!!
it would seem that i've gone "card crazy"....thankfully, not the "credit" kind of card, but the "preferred customer" type of card. i have discount cards, points cards, and punch cards for stores that i don't even go into any more. so, when the sweet lady in anthropologie asked me if i'd like to sign up for an "anthro card" during my last visit, i hesitated....but quickly changed my mind once i discovered that it came in this cute little floral drawstring pouch. i know.... i'm a total pushover.
and then, a few weeks ago this came in the mail.
tucked inside is a discount card in celebration of my birthday. pushover, or no pushover, i'm just crazy over this little pouch....how cute is this?!!
i noticed a great project by becky shander in the premier issue of art quilting studio magazine. becky creates beautiful envelopes using dryer sheets....and i was so intrigued that i just had to try it!
first, rescue the used dryer sheets from your laundry room trash can and iron them flat by using a low temperature on your iron.
fold dryer sheet in half and use a template to sew an envelope shape using a straight, zig-zag, or decorative stitch around the edges.
....but it's a lot of fun to open it up, too! i followed becky's example by using a piece of cotton quilt batting for my card. then, i tore a piece of watercolor background (that i made a long time ago) into a heart shape and finished it by sewing a favorite Scripture address to the front.
and then, since the dryer sheets smell so good, i decided to make a little "sachet" to hang in my closet. just tuck one of your favorite images in between two layers, sew around each edge, and then attach a ribbon for hanging!
edited: i've had several comments about the darker envelopes in the first photo....becky says they are "dyed" using a 50/50 solution of coffee and water. soak for five minutes and then wring out moisture and lay on paper bags to dry. then iron flat.
i found myself on one of those "one-thing-leads-to-another-scavenger-hunts" today. for some reason i started to think that my one year blogiversary must be getting close, so i went back into my archives only to discover that i completely missed it because it was back in june! but what i didn't expect to discover was that i became inspired by looking through many of my posts from a year ago! not so much because the blog posts were anything special (believe me, they weren't), but because i could see how i've grown over this past year.....in my artwork, in the way i express myself, and the way i see things around me. and speaking of growth, i'm so excited about how much our wonderfully fantastic blog community has grown...and that's all many, many thanks to you!!
try this: revisit some of your very first blog posts. i promise that you'll see growth on many levels....and i'm hoping that you'll be inspired!
keep your face always toward the sunshine....and the shadows will fall behind you.
wishing you a weekend filled with sunshine!
one of the best ways to find out if you really love doing something is to not do it for a while. with our recent move, it's been about 5 weeks since i've made a new journal....and i've really missed it. there's something about sloshing glue across paper that makes me feel like a kid in art class again (and something about the smell that can make me a little woozy after a while!).
the gathering of supplies, the poking of holes in paper, and the sewing it together with waxed linen thread immediately takes me to one of my all-time favorite places....my comfort zone!
and finally after a little glue and a little stitching....the return of the "blank slate" watercolor journal! it's been a while since my etsy shop has seen one of these....and i absolutely loved making it!
they say that great things come in small packages (especially the really small jewelry-sized packages!), but i've discovered that fantastic things also come in medium packages! my little dutch boy surprised me with this new toy for my "30-20" celebration, and i am absolutely thrilled!! i must admit, however, that there are an awful lot of dials, numbers and letters on this and i feel somewhat clueless....but my dutch boy knows me so well that he arranged for classes for me! yippee for new toys in medium-sized packages! and for all of those precious gifts that don't come in packages....rah-rah-shish-boom-bah and many thanks to all of you for your sweet, sweet birthday wishes, hooray for the 30-20 club, and a big woo hoo and mega-hugs to my little dutch boy for making every day of my life a wonderful celebration!
i've probably mentioned before that the only green thumb i'll ever have is one that i paint on myself. my lack of patience combined with my tendency to "over-love" plants makes for a really scary horticultural story! but so far things seem to be going well in our new garden (probably because i've been too busy to start "helping" it). like these hydrangeas, for example.....they are beautiful balls of flowery happiness and i could never have enough of them!
and here's the beginnings of my little herb garden. it truly is one of my favorite spots to visit....so far my sweet basil, peppermint and garlic chives are thriving! their sweet fragrance and fresh taste is absolute culinary heaven....and i just love that "barefoot contessa" feeling i get each time i go to snip a little herb goodness!
today seems like a cupcake kind of day (or is it just my sweet tooth acting up again?). and where there's cupcakes, there's got to be a party, right?! it's tuesday and i can't think of a better reason for a party....and a cupcake!
i've been enjoying the blog of kristina werner for almost a year now and she provides the most fabulous card-making videos every monday (on her blog) and friday (over at two peas in a bucket). she has a graphic, fresh style that i just love and all of her designs are easily completed in a short amount of time....does it get any better than that?! visit kristina for inspiration any day of the week!
i've been working on this project for chrissie grace, and am all too aware of how taking an idea from your head to the finished project definitely goes in certain stages. for example, when i received these fabrics from chrissie, i left them out for inspiration, and then when an idea came to me, i sketched it out.
then, with my sketch in mind, i started to lay out the fabrics to see which ideas would work....and which ideas wouldn't work (and keeping fingers crossed that there would be more ideas that work, than don't work...yikes!).
then comes the cutting stage.....this is the one that makes me nervous. i have a certain amount of fabric to work with....if i mess it up, i'm toast. i've vacuumed the floor, done the dishes, eaten three snacks, checked the mailbox, took my dog outside, and swept the back porch, all as a means of "cutting procrastination". i even called my "think-outside-the-box-she's-an-artistic-genius-art-therapist-cheerleading-best-buddy" martha for a pep talk. of course, we ended up talking about lots of things unrelated to the "cutting procrastination" (which is part of the whole procrastination process), but in the end, her advice was simple, sweet and effective: "say a prayer and pick up the scissors". and that's exactly what i did. i'm loving my little pile of cut scraps....and very much looking forward to the next stage....the one where the plan starts coming together....fingers and toes crossed during this stage!
the butterfly has long been known as a beautiful symbol of change and transformation....and to me, that makes it the perfect adornment for a journal. i made this coptic journal several weeks ago and even had some thoughts of keeping it for myself. in building our new house, we've watched it transform from a plot of dirt to a two-story dreamhome....this journal would be the perfect place to record the details! and it was a good plan, until i realized that time has completely gotten away from me (again!) and the pages have remained blank. lots of changes have taken place since our move, but it looks like my good ideas and intentions coupled with a serious lack of time...well, that never seems to change!
you can learn more about this journal here in my etsy shop.
setting up my new studio has been so much fun....especially now that i have space to put out all of the things that make me happy and keep me inspired! my picture ledges from ikea hold favorite artwork created by many of you (i'm slowly but surely building up a wonderful collection!). this ledge is holding artwork (left to right) from my friend judith leitch, "scatter joy" by kathy davis, the sweet little yo-yo sent to me from carol sloan, a fabulous "happy journey" print by julie king, and a beautiful piece of original brush calligraphy by eliza holliday.
my other picture ledge is showcasing (from left to right) one of my favorite diane duda prints, a calligraphy piece that i made for my little dutch boy, a happy print from the very sweet jenn over at noodle and lou, and a canvas that i painted via karen gartel at altered diva workshops.
these two little goodies are perched above my peg board....i just love to look up and see this colorful "nourish" mosaic that chrissie grace created.....and then there's the fabulous "go in the direction of your dreams" card that the very talented paper artist jen over at colorfly studio surprised me with one day!
and one huge source of inspiration in setting up my studio came from my sweet friend gina lee kim.....she was so kind to share photos of her incredible studio space and i just went nuts when i saw it! if you haven't already seen it, treat yourself to some studio eye candy here!
wishing you a very happy 4th of july.....celebrate america!!
....and this is the view from the other side of the room. i love my peg board hanging on the wall...it holds all of my tools so they're always within reach!
a few years ago i made this little desk....the top of my little dutch boy's old drafting table sits on a base made from two small bookcase units (on each side) from target. also from target (don't you just love that place?) is the black stool and the small baskets that fit perfectly in those little cubby holes!
from ikea, this is the expedit bookcase turned on its side. the picture ledge above is the ribba.
my computer armoire and stamp cabinet all freshly painted and sitting proudly here in the corner! and i must admit that i totally splurged on those fabulous glass door knobs....from one of my all-time favorite places, anthropologie!
more books, artwork and other favorite things!
thanks for letting me show you around....i'll be showing some more detailed photos over the next week!

Q: SDL2 - How to render with one buffer instead of two? In SDL2 I want to be able to draw changes to one buffer rather than redraw the whole image to two different buffers as my setup seems to be doing. Below is a really quick test which shows the unwanted behavior:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <SDL.h>

// Compile: gcc test.c -I/usr/local/include/SDL2 -L/usr/local/lib -lSDL2

void putPixel(SDL_Renderer *renderer, int x, int y)
{
    SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 255,255,255,255);
    SDL_RenderDrawPoint(renderer, x, y);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

    int width = 640;
    int height = 480;

    SDL_Window *window = SDL_CreateWindow("Test", 0,0,width,height, 0);
    if (window == NULL)
    {
        return -1;
    }
    SDL_Renderer *renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED);
    if (renderer == NULL)
    {
        return -2;
    }

    SDL_SetRenderDrawBlendMode(renderer,SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND);

    SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0, 0, 0, 255);
    SDL_RenderClear(renderer);

    for(int x=0;x<8;x++)
    {
        for(int y=0;y<10;y++)
        {
            putPixel(renderer,40+x*10,50+y);
        }

        SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
        sleep(1);
    }

    SDL_Quit();
    return 0;
}

The output from this is two alternating screens. It is obviously using a double buffer which means I have to clear and redraw to get the output I want. After each cycle of the for...loop I wanted to add a line to the buffer - there should have been 8 lines at the end of the program running. In this case I got 4 on one buffer and 4 on another. I don't want to redraw the previous lines again either, hence the need for one buffer:

A: This uses a texture as a buffer and copies this to the screen when done.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <SDL.h>

// Compile: gcc test.c -I/usr/local/include/SDL2 -L/usr/local/lib -lSDL2

void putPixel(SDL_Renderer *renderer, int x, int y)
{
    SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 255,255,255,255);
    SDL_RenderDrawPoint(renderer, x, y);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

    int width = 640;
    int height = 480;

    SDL_Window *window = SDL_CreateWindow("Test", 0,0,width,height, 0);
    if (window == NULL)
    {
        return -1;
    }
    SDL_Renderer *renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED | SDL_RENDERER_TARGETTEXTURE);
    if (renderer == NULL)
    {
        return -2;
    }

    SDL_SetRenderDrawBlendMode(renderer,SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND);

    /* Create texture for display */
    SDL_Texture *display = SDL_CreateTexture(renderer, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888, SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET, width, height);

    SDL_SetRenderTarget(renderer, display);

    SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0, 0, 0, 255);
    SDL_RenderClear(renderer);

    for(int x=0;x<8;x++)
    {
        SDL_SetRenderTarget(renderer, display);

        for(int y=0;y<10;y++)
        {
            putPixel(renderer,40+x*10,50+y);
        }

        SDL_SetRenderTarget(renderer, NULL);
        SDL_RenderCopy(renderer, display, NULL, NULL);
        SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
        sleep(1);
    }

    SDL_Quit();
    return 0;

At Dartmouth, former N.H. Gov. Lynch analyzes tenure
Updated: 10:28 PM EST Jan 29, 2013
James Pindell
WMUR.com Political Reporter
In his first public assessment of his eight years of being governor since leaving the office earlier this year, former Gov. John Lynch said he ran New Hampshire with business-minded principles of the bottom line and suggested it was a model the rest of the country should adopt.His near 90-minute presentation, delivering the first-ever Perkins Bass Lecture at Dartmouth College, was as wide ranging as it was candid.He talked about his business career, the lack of communication between himself and former House Speaker Bill O'Brien, meeting fourth graders on their State House tour, the all-female delegation, the need for schools to cut costs and improve output by using more technology, his appointment of a Republican to the U.S. Senate, and the greatest challenges his successor, Gov. Maggie Hassan faces now.As for those challenges, Lynch didn't hold back as he suggested he might as an ex-governor, and said Hassan has two main challenges."Early on she has to set that tone with bipartisanship. It is not just in words, it's deeds. She has to be bipartisan in the policies she backs and the people she appoints," Lynch said.He said Hassan's second challenge is finding a way to control health care costs. Some of this can be done by expanding Medicaid as is called for in Obamacare, but she will need to work with medical providers in general to make them more transparent about their costs and to make them more competitive with each other.As for looking back at his life in business and in politics, Lynch said it all began with a simple business equation: sales minus costs equals profit.Keeping challenges that simple helped him turnaround the high end furniture company called Knoll. He said he kept that in mind as he governed and crafted budgets. He said he also kept that in mind in how to help businesses either on the cost side or the sales side.During his tenure in office, Lynch said he was most proud of his work to lower the high school drop out rate. Doing so, he said, not only improved many individual lives, but also kept other costs down for social services that would have resulted had they dropped out.When asked, Lynch said in all the years he has handed out his cellphone number no one has ever abused it."I didn't (give out his number) for politics, I really wanted them to call me," he said. "No one has ever abused it. They didn't call me for some frivolous reason. They called me when they needed something and I was happy they did."Lynch declined to give a substantive answer on how manage a work-life balance, because he said he wasn't very good at it in the last few years. But he did take a question from 22-year-old who asked what Lynch wishes he knew when he was a 22-year-old that he knows now.Lynch said the first thing is to relax because you have no idea what you will do with your life even if you think you do. For example, as hooked and successful that Lynch was in business, he was an English major at the University of New Hampshire and only took one business-related course, economics, pass –fail and he almost failed it because he didn't show up for class.
HANOVER, N.H. —
In his first public assessment of his eight years of being governor since leaving the office earlier this year, former Gov. John Lynch said he ran New Hampshire with business-minded principles of the bottom line and suggested it was a model the rest of the country should adopt.
His near 90-minute presentation, delivering the first-ever Perkins Bass Lecture at Dartmouth College, was as wide ranging as it was candid.
He talked about his business career, the lack of communication between himself and former House Speaker Bill O'Brien, meeting fourth graders on their State House tour, the all-female delegation, the need for schools to cut costs and improve output by using more technology, his appointment of a Republican to the U.S. Senate, and the greatest challenges his successor, Gov.

The New York Yankees are an American professional baseball team based in the New York City borough of the Bronx. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division. They are one of two major league clubs based in New York City, the other being the National League's (NL) New York Mets. In 1903, Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the franchise after it ceased operations and moved it to New York City, renaming the club the New York Highlanders. The Highlanders were officially renamed the New York Yankees in 1913.
The team is owned by Yankee Global Enterprises, an LLC that is controlled by the family of the late George Steinbrenner, who purchased the team in 1973. Brian Cashman is the team's general manager, and Aaron Boone is the team's field manager. The team's home games were played at the original Yankee Stadium from 1923 to 1973 and from 1976 to 2008. In 1974 and 1975, the Yankees shared Shea Stadium with the Mets, in addition to the New York Jets and the New York Giants. In 2009, they moved into a new ballpark of the same name that was constructed adjacent to the previous facility, which was closed and demolished. The team is perennially among the leaders in MLB attendance.
Arguably the most successful professional sports team in the United States, the Yankees have won 19 American League East Division titles, 40 American League pennants, and 27 World Series championships, all of which are MLB records. The team has won more titles than any other franchise in the four major North American sports leagues - after briefly trailing the NHL's Montreal Canadiens by one or two titles in the 1990s. Forty-four Yankees players and 11 Yankees managers have been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Mariano Rivera, and Derek Jeter, with Rivera and Jeter having the two highest vote percentages of all Hall of Fame members. According to Forbes, the Yankees are the second-highest valued sports franchise in the United States and the second in the world, with an estimated value of approximately $5 billion. The team has garnered enormous popularity and a dedicated fanbase, as well as widespread enmity from fans of other MLB teams. The team's rivalry with the Boston Red Sox is one of the most well-known rivalries in North American sports.
In the years around 1920, the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the Chicago White Sox had a détente. The trades between the three-ball clubs antagonized Ban Johnson and garnered the teams the nickname "The Insurrectos". This détente paid off well for the Yankees as they increased their payroll. Most new players who later contributed to the team's success came from the Red Sox, whose owner, Harry Frazee, was trading them for large sums of money to finance his theatrical productions. Pitcher-turned-outfielder Babe Ruth was the most talented of all the acquisitions from Boston, and the outcome of that trade would haunt the Red Sox for the next 86 years, a span in which the team did not win a single World Series championship. This phenomenon eventually became known as the Curse of the Bambino as the failure of the Red Sox and the success of the Yankees seemed almost supernatural and seemed to stem from that one trade. However, it was not until 1990 when Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe wrote a book with the same title that the curse was publicized.
The Yankees have won a record 27 World Series in 40 appearances (which, since the first World Series in 1903, currently amounts to an average appearance every 2.7 seasons and a championship every 4.0 seasons); the St. Louis Cardinals are in second place with 11 World Series championships. The Yankees' number of World Series losses, 13, is also an MLB record. The Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers are second in total World Series appearances with 20. The Yankees have faced the Dodgers 11 times, going 8–3. Among North American major sports, the Yankees' success is approached only by the 24 Stanley Cup championships of the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League. The Yankees have played in the World Series against every National League pennant winner except the Houston Astros and the Colorado Rockies.
Ruth's multitude of home runs proved so popular that the Yankees began drawing more people than their National League counterpart, the Giants. In 1921 — the year after acquiring Ruth — the Yankees played in their first World Series. They competed against the Giants, and all eight games of the series were played in the Polo Grounds.
In 1923, the Yankees moved to their new home, Yankee Stadium, which took 11 months to build and cost $2.5 million. The team announced that 99,200 fans showed up on Opening Day and 25,000 were turned away. In the first game at Yankee Stadium, Ruth hit a home run. The stadium was nicknamed "The House That Ruth Built", due mainly to the fact that Ruth had doubled Yankees' attendance, which helped the team pay for the new stadium. At the end of the season, the Yankees faced the Giants in the World Series for the third straight year and won their first championship.

Facebook bans users over 'offensive' Sussex beauty spot name
Facebook users in a Brighton group have been reprimanded after talking about a popular Sussex beauty spot.
By Joe Stack
Sunday, 24th January 2021, 3:56 pm
Updated Sunday, 24th January 2021, 4:02 pm
A number of posts naming Devil's Dyke were removed and some of the group's members were removed by Facebook, it has been reported.
Facebook has acknowledged the error and a spokesman offered their apologies.
Retiree Glenys Horton is one of the moderators on the 'Brighton Life' Facebook page, which boasts some 58,000 members.
Glenys said she enjoys using the social media platform for genealogy, chatting with friends and sharing pictures
She said: "I don't know when it all kicked off to be honest but I have become aware of it after seeing messages from people on the group saying they have been banned by Facebook. It's just ridiculous but I understand because it is not a person sitting there moderating something.
"It must be a computer algorithm which is picking up words like these and may not know what a dyke is."
Dyke is used in places names all over the country and as a surname.
Glenys added: "The word has been around since the 1300s. There's dykes everywhere. It think it has been lost in translation."
She also compared the mass-banning to George Orwell's 1984.
"What else are they going to ban? One of my friends said 'hey-ho' and was given a short ban."
