The Canon BJC-6200 has a compact size of 12x17x6 inches and slow output rates, as it is designed to benefit those looking for a personal desktop inkjet printer. Print speeds are sluggish compared to other similar units, producing only around 7 pages per minute for color documents and 10 pages per minute for black-and-white. Despite this, the BJC-6200 incorporates a number of low-cost features that make it worthwhile for users on a tight budget.
One cost efficient feature is its economical printer ink system. It operates with separate Canon BJC-6200 ink cartridges that can minimize wasted printer ink since users will be able to replace supplies individually as they expire as opposed to all at once. This will come in handy, especially since the unit operates with an optional maximum of six Canon BJC-6200 ink cartridges including black, cyan, magenta, yellow, photo cyan and photo magenta. There is an optional photo black as well.
Due to additional photo Canon BJC-6200 ink, the machine can produce full-color photos with resolutions that have detail and accuracy congruent with lab prints. With its assortment of accepted specialty media like high-gloss photo paper and glossy plain paper, users can choose media designed to make images print with even better quality. Also, since the BJC-6200 accepts paper with a maximum size of 8.5x14 inches, users will also have flexibility in the size of projects produced. The inkjet unit can also produce black-and-white documents with precise lines and resolutions of up to 1400x720 dpi using Canon BJC-6200 ink.
The BJC-6200 is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems so users can easily connect their PC with the printer. With easy connectivity, a print system designed to produce sharp and accurate images and a compact size make the BJC-6200 the perfect photo printer for any home.

Q: how to replace lastindexof "," to the word "and" but avoid to replace "and" inside the open and close parenthesis in vb.net how to replace last accurancy "," to the word "and" but avoid to replace "and" inside the open and close parenthesis in vb.net
sample:
A,A1,A2,A3,B,B1,B2,B3,C,C1,C2,C3
i want the output like this
A(A1,A2,A3),B(B1,B2,B3) and C(C1,C2,C3)
this is my code:
 Dim Strng As String = Me.CheckBox1.Text
    'now find the position of last appearing ","
    Dim comaposition As Integer
    comaposition = Strng.LastIndexOf(",") 'it is zero  based

    'if not found, it will return -1 and u can exit, no need to do the work
    If comaposition = "-1" Then

        Exit Sub
    End If

    'remove the comma
    Dim String_After_Removing_Comma As String
    String_After_Removing_Comma = Strng.Remove(comaposition, 1)

    'add "and" in the same position where comma was found
    Dim final_string As String
    final_string = String_After_Removing_Comma.Insert(comaposition, " and ")

    'show it on the textbox
    CheckBox1.Text = final_string

how can i do that any idea

A: Here is a solution for you:
Dim test As String = "A,A1,A2,A3,B,B1,B2,B3,C,C1,C2,C3"

'this gets A,B,C
Dim SingleChar As String() = test.Split(",").Where(Function(a) Not a.Any(Function(c) Char.IsDigit(c))).ToArray()

'this gets rest of the string
Dim CharWithNumbers As String() = test.Split(",").Where(Function(a) a.Any(Function(c) Char.IsDigit(c))).ToArray()

Dim StrFinal As String = ""

Dim diction = New Dictionary(Of String, List(Of String))()
Dim list = New List(Of String)()

'This will add similar strings found in "CharWithNumbers" based on
'the characters in "SingleChar" to a list
For Each c As char In SingleChar
    list = New List(Of String)()
    diction.Add(c, list)
    For Each item As string In CharWithNumbers
        If item.Contains(c) Then
            list.Add(item)
        End If
    Next
Next

'grouping the list
For Each item  In diction
    StrFinal += item.Key + "(" + String.Join(",", item.Value) + "),"
Next

StrFinal = StrFinal.TrimEnd(","C) 'removes trailing ','

'to replace "," with "and"
Dim LastChar = SingleChar(SingleChar.Count() - 1)

StrFinal = StrFinal.Replace("," + LastChar + "(", " and " + LastChar + "(")

Console.WriteLine(StrFinal)

OUTPUT:
A(A1,A2,A3),B(B1,B2,B3) and C(C1,C2,C3)

This is not optimized for performance, but I don't think you would bother about it.
Check the output in .NET Fiddle

A: Try this:
Dim arr() As String = Regex.Matches("A,A1,A2,A3,B,B1,B2,B3,C,C1,C2,C3", "(.)(,\1.+?)+").Cast(Of Match).Select(Function(M As Match) Regex.Replace(M.Value, "^(.),", "$1(") & ")").ToArray()
Dim withoutLastMatch(arr.Length - 2) As String
Array.Copy(arr, withoutLastMatch, arr.Length - 1)
Dim output As String = String.Join(",", withoutLastMatch) & " and " & arr(arr.Length - 1)
Console.WriteLine(output)

The output is:

A(A1,A2,A3),B(B1,B2,B3) and C(C1,C2,C3)

It's been mentioned that the Application Manager has been making the mental ray update available before the corresponding Service Pack and this may have caused mental ray to break until the Service Pack is installed. In this case the mental ray plug update relies on the corresponding Service Pack. The Application Manager doesn't know this. This may not always be the case that there is a corresponding Maya update. I am not sure how Autodesk will make this work in the future.
Maya 2015 was released with a flaw in the node ids for mental ray materials that was fixed in SP2. This may break some of your scenes. I suggest waiting to upgrade until your projects are complete in SP1 or begin new ones in SP2.
There is a possible problem with the .mod file when you update causing mental ray to fail to load. Look here for a solution from Autodesk.
You may also find performance improvements in MILA rendering.
Thanks to the users that pushed for this change, Autodesk and NVIDIA can now react to requests and complaints with more agility than before with mental ray.

Q: Scala, Akka, Spray: How to validate json data before processing? I can process this json when all the inputs are valid, i.e with valid keys (including case) and values. The next step is to validate keys and return 400 (Bad Request) if the keys or values are invalid. What is a good way to add this validation?
The API call
POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/adsession
Content-Type: application/json
body {
  "sessionId": "abcd123123123",
  "serviceGroup": "1234",
  "targetCode": {"zipcodes":"30096,30188","code2":"value2"}
}

Route handler
class AdSessionRoutes(services: Services)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext, log: LoggingContext) extends ApiRoute(services) {

  implicit val timeout = Timeout(10 seconds)

  val postSession = pathPrefix("adsession") & pathEnd & post

  val route: Route = {
    withService("adSession") { service =>

      postSession {
        entity(as[AdSession]) { adSession =>
          log.info(s"Processing POST ${adSession}")
          val future = (service ? CreateAdSession(adSession)).mapTo[AdSession]

          onComplete(future) {
            case Success(result) =>
              complete(StatusCodes.Created, result)

            case Failure(e) =>
              log.error(s"Error: ${e.toString}")
              complete(StatusCodes.InternalServerError, Message(ApiMessages.UnknownException))
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Model object
case class AdSession(
  sessionId: String,
  serviceGroup: String,
  targetCodes: Map[String,String],
  id: Option[String] = None)

object AdSessionJsonProtocol extends DefaultJsonProtocol {
  implicit val adSessionFormat = jsonFormat4(AdSession)
}

entity(as[AdSession]) does map keys to case class fields, but I'm not sure how to catch those errors. I would like to capture those errors as well as add additional validations and return 400 with valid json error response.

A: I know this may be a little late but since akka-http-2.4.6, you can put the verification logic inside a case class. Check out this for info on how to do it.

A: Define your own read and write methods for AdSession like this:
object AdSessionJsonProtocol {
    implicit object adSessionJsonFormat extends RootJsonFormat[AdSession] {
        override def read(json: JsValue): AdSession = ???
        override def write(obj: AdSession): JsValue = ???
    }
}

Inside read function you can perform additional validation.
Another question is how to pass collected errors to Spray route. I would like to suggest you to wrap AdSession into Either[String, AdSession], for example:
postSession {
        entity(as[Either[String, AdSession]]) { adSession =>

So, now your adSessionJsonFormat will looks like:
implicit object adSessionJsonFormat extends RootJsonFormat[Either[String, AdSession]] {

    override def read(json: JsValue): Either[String, AdSession] = {
      // json.asJsObject.fields access fields, perform checks
      // if everything is OK return Right(AdSession(...))
      // otherwise return Lift("Error Message")
    }

    override def write(obj: Either[String, AdSession]): JsValue = ???
}

But, I think it's possible to solve it in more elegant way using some implicit magic.


The party season is coming up and there's no better excuse to put all the glitter on your face. I decided to film a super classic, glittery gold makeup tutorial for the holidays, in case you need some inspiration for your office Christmas party or family gathering. Or trip to the mall.

Home city guide history of hindaun
History of Hindaun
Hindaun City, a historically significant city, belongs to Karauli District in Rajasthan. In the recent time the city is known for its sandstone industry and well developed infrastructure but the city also has very close association with all phases of Indian history. Hindaun, a city located in the eastern fringes of Rajasthan State, is also famous for its special sweet "Moong ki Barfi". Land of Hindaun has many legends associated with it and the legends date back to the time of Puranas. Lets try to know about the historical significance of this small city of Rajasthan.
Hindaun and Bhagvada Purana
Hindaun holds an important place in the Hindu Mythology. According to the legends, this land is called the land of Hiranyakashyap, a demon king. Hiranyakashyap was father of Prahlad, an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu. It is believed that Hindaun has its name originated from the name of the mighty demon king, Hiranyakashyap. The legends of King Hiranyakashyap and his son Prahlad have been mentioned in the Bhagvad Purana. This city was the capital of Hiranyakashyap Kingdom. That is the reason why this city is also known by the name, "Hiranakus ki Kher".
Here the word 'Kher' mean capital. Numerous monuments present in this area depict that the city was associated with King Hiranyakashyap and his son, Prahlad. Prahlad was a keen devotee of Lord Vishnu though in the kingdom of King Hiranyakashyap worshipping of Lord Vishnu was strongly prohibited. With the help of his few ministers and his sister Holika, Hiranyakashyap tried to kill Prahlad but he did not succeed in doing so. Prahlad was kept in a chamber of poisonous snakes so that he could be bitten by them; he was thrown in front of a mad elephant and Prahalad was also thrown from a high mountain.
The last attempt to kill Prahlad was taken by Prahlad's aunt Holika and she took Prahlad in her lap and sat amidst of flames but again Prahlad was saved by Lord Vishnu and Holika got burnt. At last King Hiranyakashyap was killed by Narsingha Avtar (an incarnation of Lord Vishnu). Many sites and monuments of Hindaun still bear the witness of its association with Hindu legends. These sites and monuments are Prahlad ka Mandir, Dhobi Pachchad, Nrisingha Mandir, Hiranakus ka Mandir, though four decades back Rama Temple has been built in the place of Hiranakus ka Mandir.
Hindaun and the Mahabharata
Hindaun is also associated with the era of Mahabharata. It is believed that the name of the city is derived from 'Hidimba', sister of Hidimb, a demon. The Kauravas had tried to kill the Pandava when they were staying in the Lakhagriha but the Pandavas managed to escape and they went into the then Matasya Kingdom, currently known as Alwar region. Bheema, one of the Pandava Brothers, met Hidimba when he was wandering in the Hiranya Karan Van or forest. Hidimba fell in love with Bheema and wanted to marry him. Hidimba's brother Hidimb, a demon fought with Bheema but he got killed by Bheema. Bheema and Hidimba got married and they had a son named Ghatotkacha, who was a great warrior and died a heroic death during the war of Mahabharata.
Rulers of Hindaun
Hindaun was under the control of Matsaya Kingdom which had Meena Rulers. You will still get descendents of Meena Rulers in the areas around Hindaun. Many ancient architectural excellences are still evident in Hindaun and its surrounding areas. During the Rajput Rule, Hindaun was inhabited by the Jats who shifted to this area during the rule of a Rajput King prior to Maharaja Suraj Mal of District Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh. When the then Rajput King put pressure of the Jats to have marital relationship with the Muslims, they left their original homeland and settled in Hindaun area of Karauli District.
Many Jats belonging to Hindaul Gotra are still found here. About 22 villages in and around Hindaun City belong to the jats of Hindaul Gotra. In the later years, Vahan Singh Hindaul, one of the powerful Jat warriors was given a land or jaigir by Maharaja Suraj Mal. 4 villages were founded by the four sons of Vahan Singh which are Man Village named after Man Singh, Diswar Village founded by Jivaram, Chuhara Village founded by Churaman, and Pithair Village founded by Vijayram.

More than a decade before we met Lindsey, God used a spot on the local news to lay the idea on my heart about adopting a teen. Life went on and I forgot about it. Several years after marrying Ken and blending our families, the idea of adoption resurfaced. Ken and I talked and prayed about it, and both felt led to pursue adoption through the foster care system — but at that time we weren't considering a teen. We agreed that if either of us got "freaked out" during the process, we'd stop. Through all the classes and paperwork, that never happened. Finally, everything was submitted, and we waited.
Our paperwork was misplaced, and it was months before we even knew about it. We were frustrated, but we prayed that we would know when the right child came along, and that God would show us this by cutting through the red tape and making the process speedy and relatively easy.
A common question: Why did we adopt a teen?
In May 2009 our caseworker sent us info about a 14-year-old girl named Lindsey. Despite that fact that she was older than our file said we intended to adopt, her caseworker felt we'd be a good match. Again, trusting that God would show us if this was not His will, we proceeded to the next step.
Shortly after that email, we had a whirlwind of reviewing Lindsey's file, teleconferencing with her caseworker, then meeting Lindsey just two days later. We never imagined a meeting like that could be anything but awkward, but both caseworkers said it was the most comfortable first meeting they had ever seen.
Just a few weeks later, we signed the necessary papers and moved Lindsey into our home. This was not the usual time-frame; this was an answer to prayer.
Because of Lindsey's age, she had to give consent to the adoption. For most of her years in foster care, she was adamant about not wanting to be adopted. However, at the church she attended with her foster family, the pastor's wife (who was adopted at age 12) helped Lindsey make the difficult decision to say yes to a permanent family.
December 2009: Lindsey legally became our daughter.
People have asked why we would want to take on someone else's problem. The answer: because of God's command in James 1:27. Adoption is a picture of what God did for us in adopting us as sons and daughters, making us co-heirs with Christ. By working out so many details in our story, He has shown He cares not only about the big things, but the small things, too. Have we had difficult days? Goodness, yes! Parenting is never easy — but hard doesn't negate good.
May 2008 ~ Our home study was completed.
July 10, 2009 ~ We signed "Intent to Adopt" papers and she moved in.
December 17, 2009 ~ Lindsey officially became our daughter.
I continue to blog our journey of life and parenting after adoption, so I hope you'll keep following along. If you'd like, you can subscribe by email.

Capturing Shawmont Station before its $1,000,000 preservation begins – the oldest extant passenger rail station in America
Originally a 18′ by 36′ stone house (Wissahickon Schist), the structure wouldn't have stood out from the other country homes in this part of Philadelphia, at the tip of the Manayunk Reach, situated at the end of today's Manayunk Canal Towpath, along the 19th-century megastructure that tamed the wild Schuykill into a placid waterway conducive to commercial transit.

Shawmont Station (also Green Tree Station and Nathans' house)
7700 Nixon Street, Philadelphia
William Strickland (attributed), 1834
But when the house was built–when the canal was king–railroads were just around the corner. While the true dominance of the train lay some decades ahead, the impact landed immediately on Nathan Nathans, who had built the house as a quiet country retreat (to be spoiled by the locomotive outside!) and retained ownership by the time in 1834 when he ultimately had to sue the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad over their claim to the a right of way within spitting distance of the Nathans' homestead.
(Editor's note: The Philadelphia Preservation Alliance is the source for many of these facts, and indeed we owe more thanks to them for other reasons to be discussed momentarily.)
Ultimately the railroad won and Nathans gave up the property to a more willing local citizen. The line would first be rolled down by one of those sterling Baldwin trains built at Matthias Baldwin's factory, in fact his first full scale locomotive, Old Ironsides.

Around 1835, Henry Croskey, who had acquired the building from Nathans, began improving the lot to fit its new purpose. He began calling it "Green Tree Station" and the building often lodged canal workers from the waterway (accessible out the backdoor) in an arrangement with the Schuykill Navigation Company. He held the property until 1853, by which point he had retired to a mansion on Rittenhouse Square, selling to the Philadelphia, Germantown & Norristown Railroad. The station would later be renamed for Thomas Shaw who had acquired Croskey's manor house on the hill overlooking Green Tree Station.

Read a timeline of Shawmont Station's history here.
Just a few months ago, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission used its Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside program to award $1,000,000 for the restoration of Shawmont Station. Although the station has not been used by SEPTA since 1996, the path alongside gets more use than ever, with Venice Island and other parts of Manayunk seeing significant redevelopment.

Q: How is it distinguished in matrix multiplication which is the vector and which is the matrix representing a linear transformation? The terminology that is used everywhere when applying a matrix to a "vector" is considered is this: the matrix represents a linear transformation and there is a row or column vector. But a matrix can also be a vector from a vector space because that's the definition for vectors. What happens when matrix multiplication is considered? Can someone explain this mess?

A: Matrices transform coordinate vectors.  That is, if you want to consider linear transformations on the vector space of $n \times m$ matrices, you should

*

*choose a basis for your vector space

*represent the elements of your vector space (in this case $n\times m$ matrices) as coordinate vectors AKA column matrices

*represent your linear transformation as a $k\times (nm)$ matrix

*perform your matrix multiplication as usual

Let's look at an example:
Say your space is $2\times 2$ matrices with real entries.  This is a $4$-dimensional vector space.  Let's choose an easy basis for this, how about
$$e_1 = \pmatrix{1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0} \\ e_2 = \pmatrix{0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0} \\ e_3 = \pmatrix{0 & 0 \\ 1 & 0} \\ e_4 = \pmatrix{0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1}$$
Now say you are considering the linear transformation $T$ defined by $T(ae_1 + be_2 + ce_3 + de_4) = \pmatrix{a+b & b-c-d \\ c & 0}$.
Then the matrix $M$ which represents this transformation should always obey the equation:
$$M\pmatrix{a \\ b \\ c \\ d} = \pmatrix{a+b \\ b-c-d \\ c \\ 0}$$
Then we can see by the linearity of matrix multiplication that this is just
$$aM_1 + bM_2 + cM_3 + dM_4 = a\pmatrix{1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \\ 0} + b\pmatrix{1 \\ 1 \\ 0 \\ 0} + c\pmatrix{0 \\ -1 \\ 1 \\ 0} + d\pmatrix{0 \\ -1 \\ 0 \\ 0}$$
where $M_i$ is the $i$th column of the matrix $M$.  Thus
$$M = \pmatrix{1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0}$$
And finally if you want to use matrix multiplication to find out how $M$ transforms the matrix $x = \pmatrix{1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1}$, then just multiply $M$ by the coordinate vector of the matrix $x$:
$$M[x] = \pmatrix{1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0}\pmatrix{1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ 1} = \pmatrix{2 \\ -1 \\ 1 \\ 0}$$
Therefore $$\color{red}{T(x) = \pmatrix{2 & -1 \\ 1 & 0}}$$

I should also note, though, that matrix multiplication can have a different interpretation as well.  Multiplying two matrices results in a matrix that represents the composition of linear transformations.
For instance, say $S: \Bbb R^3 \to \Bbb R^2$ and $T: \Bbb R^3 \to \Bbb R^3$ are two linear transformations.  Further let $A$ be the matrix which represents $S$ in the basis we're concerned with and likewise $B$ be the matrix representing $T$.
Then what's the matrix which represents the composition of these two linear transformations, $S \circ T$?  Well it's just $AB$.
This is easy to show.  By definition $S(x) = Ax$ and $T(y) = By$, therefore $$(\color{red}{S \circ T})(y) = S(T(y)) = S(By) = A(By) = (\color{red}{AB})y$$

A: If I understand correctly, you want to know where multiplication of matrices, by matrices, stands when considering a certain space $\mathcal M$ of matrices as a vector space. In this case you simply have a vector space over $\Bbb R$, whose elements happen to form a ring. In fact you have an $\Bbb R$-algebra.
Another example of this is the space of continous functions $\mathcal C(\Bbb R,\Bbb R)$. It is an $\Bbb R$ vector space, but function multiplication is also defined by $(fg)(x)= f(x)g(x)$. This operation also makes it an $\Bbb R$-algebra.

22 Top Products at CES 2010: MyFord Touch
There are thousands of new gadgets on display in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Some will never hit stores, while others may reach millions of homes and change our daily routines. We waded through the clutter of the show's halls and picked our favorite products, and the ones that we think will make a difference this year.
Automotive companies keep adding more electronic tech to their dashboards: navigation systems, real-time fuel economy gauges, mp3 players, cell phone connectivity, satellite radio and ever-more service and safety reminders. Assuming that the tech genie isn't going back in the bottle, the challenge becomes how to control everything safely and simply. The MyFord Touch tries to address this issue by packing more capability into a simpler-to-use system. The system uses two 4.2-inch LCDs in the dash (one for core automotive metrics like fuel economy, the second for audio, climate control, phone and navigation), flanking an analog speedometer. The driver can control the system with a pair of five-way switches on the steering wheel. There's also an 8-inch touchscreen (not to be used while driving!) for Web browsing and apps such as Pandora and Twitter. (In-car Wi-Fi is made possible through USB-installed air cards, a USB mobile broadband modem or by tethering wireless in a limited selection of phones.) The second generation of SYNC has much-improved voice commands, which should help keep the driver's eyes on the road. The system will appear in all 2011 Lincolns, to be followed by Mercury and Ford vehicles in coming years.

6-Ingredient Grilled Basil Chicken Foil Packets are a fresh, simple dinner that's on the table in 30 minutes!
Years ago my husband used to do all the grilling because I was intimidated by it. Over time he started working swing shift, so I finally decided that I needed to learn how to grill. He gave me a brief lesson and to my surprise, it was really easy.
Grilling is my preferred method of cooking now and I grill everything from kebabs, eggplant parm, vegetables for pasta salad, sweet potato fries, and even potato salad. My grill knows no boundaries!
In the summer, it doesn't get better than grilling a simple meal that comes together quickly like these 6-Ingredient Grilled Basil Chicken Foil Packets. This is a perfect summer meal to enjoy at home on a warm evening or cook over a campfire on a camping trip.
One of the main ingredients of this dish is Bertolli® Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil, which is made from organic olives and produced using organic farming standards.
Bertolli® is the #1 olive oil brand worldwide. With 150 years of expertise in olive oil blending,Bertolli® brings a rich heritage to every kitchen. They're committed to providing only non-GMO olive oils via a full portfolio of USDA organic offerings, which provides added assurance of high quality sourcing options.
My task was to create a dish that's simple yet unexpected with only 6 ingredients. 5 of the 6 ingredients were specified by Bertolli®, and included chicken or jackfruit, a purple vegetable (cauliflower, radish, sweet potato, or corn), basil, and kumquats.
Since it's summertime, my mind immediately went to something that could be grilled. I'd never tried a foil packet meal before this recipe, so I was excited to try it out.
I decided to use chicken and purple sweet potato from the ingredients specified, and added yellow corn because I thought it would compliment the kumquats and because I can never get enough corn in the summer.
The fresh basil oil sauce is the true star of this dish. The Bertolli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which has an intense, full bodied flavor, paired perfectly with the fresh basil, kumquat juice, salt, and pepper.
This sauce is similar to pesto without nuts or cheese. I honestly don't use use nuts or cheese in my pesto sauce most of the time anyway as I don't feel that it needs it. This sauce is fresh and flavorful, and brightened the entire dish.
If you're not familiar with kumquats, I encourage you to try them. They're the only citrus that you can eat whole. The juicy interior can be quite tart, but the rind is pleasantly sweet. They were just the pop of flavor this meal needed!
There are only a few simple steps to prep these 6-Ingredient Basil Chicken Foil Packets. Start by tearing off (4) 12×14 sheets of foil and placing them on your work surface.
Season your chicken breast with salt and pepper and place (1) chicken breast half on each piece of foil. Prepare the sauce, and use half of it to coat the chicken (you'll use the other half at serving time).
Divide the purple sweet potatoes, corn, and kumquats among the (4) packets and be sure to top each piece of chicken with about (4) slices of kumquats.
Seal the packets, grill for 20 minutes, and serve with the remaining sauce!
This meal has been on repeat the past few weeks as it's gotten rave reviews from the family. The chicken is so moist and juicy and the vegetables are so perfectly tender!
I'd never had purple sweet potato before and found it to be so delicious that I want to use it a lot more often. I'd also never cooked kumquats in a savory dish before and I found that their acidity mellowed during cooking. They were tender and sweet with a mild tang.
These 6-Ingredient Basil Chicken Foil Packets only require 10 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking time, which means you have a delicious meal and more time to enjoy your summer!
If kumquats aren't in season, substitute with lemon, lime, or orange.
If sweet potatoes aren't your thing, substitute with halved fingerling or baby potatoes.
6-Ingredient Grilled Basil Chicken Foil Packets are a fresh, simple dish that's on the table in 30 minutes!
Preheat the grill to medium. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper and set aside.
Place the basil in the bowl of a food processor. Halve (4) of the kumquats and squeeze the juice of each half into a bowl (you should have about a tablespoon). Add the juice to the food processor along with salt and pepper to taste.
Pulse the basil until coarsely chopped and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Replace the lid and add the olive oil through the feed tube while processing constantly. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Place one piece of chicken on each sheet of foil. Using half of the basil oil sauce, spread the sauce over the chicken until the top and bottom are well coated. Reserve the other half of the sauce for serving.
Divide the sweet potatoes and corn on the cob between each of the four packets.
Slice the remaining (8) kumquats and divide between the foil packets, topping each piece of chicken with about (4) slices. Fold the edges of the foil over the chicken and vegetables and seal well.
Grill for 20 minutes and remove from heat. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes and serve with the remaining basil oil sauce. Enjoy!
Can you come give me a grilling lesson? I love food off the grill but I've never learned how to work it :). This sounds like the perfect dinner and I need to know what I'm doing before I attempt it! Have a great weekend, Marcie!
Come on over Kelsie — I'd love nothing more! 🙂 Hope you're weekend is off to a great start!
My husband does the grilling because I'm afraid to learn, but maybe I need to start! Either that, or have him make this for us. This looks SO good, Marcie! I love the fresh basil in here. What a perfect summer meal!
I was afraid to but with a gas grill it's so easy! Thanks Gayle and hope you have a great weekend!
My garden has a bunch of basil that is just starting to go to seed, and this looks like the perfect way to use some of it up!! I love fresh basil. Have a great weekend!
There's nothing like fresh basil!

Senators Demand Answers After Undocumented Immigrant Deported 10 Times is Accused of Raping Teen
by Chris White | 11:21 am, January 2nd, 2017
High profile criminal cases involving often times previously deported undocumented immigrants, have become major talking points for some Republican politicians wanting to show they are tough on border security. President-elect Donald Trump made the alleged murder of Kate Steinle by an undocumented immigrant, who had been previously deported five times, a center piece of his initial campaign argument. There is now another case involving a undocumented immigrant that you will likely soon hear about, if you haven't already. And the alleged details of this latest case are possibly even more horrific.
Tomaz Tomas Martinez-Maldonado, 38, is undocumented immigrant accused of raping a 13-year-old girl. Records from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement uncovered by the Associated Press earlier this year reportedly show the alleged perpetrator, Martinez-Maldonado, has been deported 10 times from the United States since 2003. Additionally, Martinez-Maldonado has also been voluntarily removed from the U.S. another nine times over the same time period.
The case caught the attention of lawmakers earlier this month, including U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley who fired off a rather angry letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.
In the letter, lawmakers asked the DHS secretary to provide answers to a number of questions and to provide information about Martinez-Maldonado's criminal and immigration history. They seem especially interested in how he was able to re-enter and remain in the country despite his criminal background.
"This is an extremely disturbing case. In order for Congress to better understand the circumstances that led to this alleged rape of a child, we request information about Martinez-Maldonado's criminal and immigration history, and why he was able to enter and remain in the country despite his unlawful status," the lawmakers wrote in the letter.
The AP investigation found Martinez-Maldonado has been previously convicted of multiple crimes in several states, not including the most recent alleged attack.
The alleged attack on the 13-year-old victim occurred on board a Greyhound Bus on September 27 in Geary County, KS. Martinez-Maldonado is accused of raping the girl and is currently awaiting a hearing on Jan 10th while being held in the Geary County Jail in Junction City, KS. Federal immigration officials tell the Chicago Tribune newspaper that a detainer has been placed on Martinez-Maldonado, which, in theory, ensures ICE will be notified if state officials decide to release him.
Topeka immigration attorney David Trevino told the newspaper that he has helped out the Martinez-Maldonado family in the past, but he is not handling this case.
Trevino is quoted as suggesting, "(President-elect Donald Trump) can build a wall 100 feet high and 50 feet deep, but it is not going to keep family members separated. So if someone is deported and they have family members here … they will find a way back — whether it is through the air, under a wall, through the coast of the United States."
As Georgetown law professor Jonathan Turley noted in a blog post on the case, it is unlikely that "immigration advocates will welcome such public statements which will only magnify the anger on the Capitol Hill," especially with Sen. Grassley and company already having the case on their radar.

"My son Ptolmai has come to the market. He is going back to Antigonea today at the sixth hour. It is a mild day. Do you still wish to go as you had planned?" asks old Philip while serving hot milk to his guests.
"We shall certainly go. When did you say?"
"At the sixth hour. You can come back tomorrow, if you wish, or the evening before the Sabbath, if you prefer so. All the Hebrew servants and those who have embraced our faith come for the Sabbath service."
"We will do that. And that place may still be chosen as the residence for these two."
"I will be pleased even if I lose them. Because it is a wholesome place. And you could do much good among the servants, some of whom are still the ones left by our master. Some are there through the bounty of our blessed mistress who ransomed them from cruel masters. So they are not all Israelites. But by now they are not pagans either. I am referring to the women. All the men have been circumcised. Do not disdain them... But they are still very far from the justice of Israel. The saints of the Temple would be scandalised at them, as they are perfect..."
"Of course! They would indeed! Well! They will now be able to improve by breathing in wisdom and goodness from the messengers of the Lord... Have you heard how much you have to do?" concludes Peter, addressing the two.
"We will do it. We will not disappoint the Master" promises Syntyche. And she goes out to prepare what is necessary to take.
John of Endor asks Philip: "Do you think that at Antigonea I could do some good also to other people, as a teacher?"
"Much good. Old Plautus died three months ago and the children of the Gentiles have no school now. With regard to the Jews, there is no master for them because all our people keep away from that place, which is close to Daphne. It would take one like... like Theophilus... Without rigidity for... for..."
"Yes, without Pharisaism, you mean" concludes Peter promptly.
"That's it... yes... I do not want to criticise... But I think... It's of no use cursing... It would be better if they helped... As our mistress used to do... she brought more people to the Law with her smiles and in a better way than a rabbi."
"That is why the Master sent me here! I am the man with the right qualifications... Oh! I will do His will. Till I breathe my last. I now believe, I firmly believe that my mission is nothing but a mission of predilection. I am going to tell Syntyche. You will see that we will stay there... I am going to tell her" and he goes out, full of life as he had not been for a long time.
"Most High Lord, I thank You and bless You! He will still suffer, but not so much as previously... Ah! What a relief?" exclaims Peter. He then feels that it is his duty to give Philip some kind of explanation, as best he can, of his joy: "You must realise that John was made the object of the attacks of the... "rigid ones" in Israel... You call them "rigid ones"..."
"Ah! I see! He was persecuted for political reasons like... like..." and he looks at the Zealot.
"Yes, like me and more, and for other reasons as well. Because he provokes them not only because he is of a different caste, but also because he belongs to the Messiah. So − and let this be said once for all − both he and Syntyche are entrusted to your loyalty... Do you understand?"
"Yes, I do. And I know how to behave."
"What will you say they are?"
"Two teachers recommended by Lazarus of Theophilus, he is a teacher for boys, and she for girls. I see that she embroiders and has a loom... A considerable amount of needle work is done and sold in Antioch by foreigners. But it is rough and coarse stuff. Yesterday I saw that she had a piece of work which reminded me of my good mistress... They will be in great demand..."
"Once again may the Lord be praised" says Peter.
"Yes. That will soothe our grief in parting."
"Are you going to leave already?"
"We must. We have been delayed by the storm. At the beginning of Shebat we must be with the Master. He is already waiting for us, because we are late" explains Thaddeus.
They part, each attending to his own business, that is, Philip goes where a woman calls him, the apostles to a high ground, in the sunshine.
"We could leave the day after the Sabbath. What do you say?" asks James of Alphaeus. "As far as I am concerned!... I don't mind!... Every morning I get up tormented by the idea that Jesus is alone, without clothes, without anyone looking after Him, and every night I go to bed with the same fixed idea. But we shall decide today."
"Tell me. But was the Master aware of everything? I have been wondering for days how He knew that we were going to meet the Cretan, how he could foresee John's and Syntyche's work, how... That is... many things" says Andrew.
"Actually I think that the Cretan stops at Seleucia on fixed dates. And perhaps Lazarus told Jesus, and so He decided to leave without waiting until Passover..." explains the Zealot.
"Indeed! That's right. And how will John manage at Passover?" asks James of Alphaeus.
"Like every other Israelite..." says Matthew.
"No. That would mean falling into the wolf's mouth!"
"Not at all! Who is going to find him out among so many people?"
"The Iscar... Oh! What have I said! Forget about it. It's only a trick of my mind..." Peter is flushed and sad, because he has spoken.
Judas of Alphaeus lays a hand on his shoulder and smiling with his severe smile, he says: "Never mind! We are all thinking of the same thing. But we won't tell anybody. And let us bless the Eternal Father for diverting John's mind from this thought."
They are all silent, engrossed in thought. But as they are true Israelites, the thought of how the exiled disciple will be able to celebrate Passover in Jerusalem worries them... and they begin to speak about it again.
"I think that Jesus will see to it. Perhaps John already knows. We have only got to ask him" says Matthew.
"No, don't. Don't put desires and thorns where peace is just springing up" begs the apostle John.
"Yes. It is better to ask the Master Himself" confirms James of Alphaeus. "When shall we see Him? What do you think?" asks Andrew.
"Oh! If we leave the day after the Sabbath, by the end of the moon we shall certainly be at Ptolemais..." says James of Zebedee.
"If we find a ship..." remarks Judas Thaddeus. And his brother adds: "And if there is no storm."
"There are always ships leaving for Palestine. And if we pay, we will call at Ptolemais, even if the ship is heading for Joppa. Have you any money left, Simon?" the Zealot asks Peter.
"Yes, I have, although that thief, the Cretan, fleeced me in no uncertain manner, notwithstanding his protestations that he wanted to do a favour to Lazarus. But I have to pay for the custody of the boat and the keeping of Antonius... I do not want to touch the money given to me for John and Syntyche. It is sacred. At the cost of starving, I will leave it as it is."
"That is the right thing. That man is very ill. He thinks that he will be able to teach. I think he will be ill all the time, and soon..." states the Zealot.
"I am of the same opinion. Syntyche will be busier preparing ointments than working" confirms James of Zebedee.
"What do you think of that ointment? What a wonderful thing! Syntyche told me that she wants to make it here and use it to become familiar with local families" says John.
"A very good idea! A sick person who is cured always becomes a disciple and relatives follow suit" states Matthew.
"Oh! no! Certainly not" exclaims Peter.
"What? Do you mean that miracles do not attract people to the Lord?" Andrew asks him together with two or three companions.
"Oh! little babies! One might say that you have just come down from Heaven! But don't you see what they do to Jesus? Did Eli of Capernaum turn? Or Doras? Or Oshea of Korazim? Or Melkia of Bethsaida? And − excuse me you from Nazareth − the whole of Nazareth, after the five, six, ten miracles worked there, up to the last one for your nephew?" asks Peter.
Nobody replies, because it is the bitter truth.
"We have not found the Roman soldier yet. Jesus had given to understand..." says John after a little while.
"We will tell those who are staying. It will be another opportunity for them" replies the Zealot.
Philip comes back: "My son is ready. He finished early. He is with his mother who is preparing gifts for her grandchildren."
"Your daughter-in-law is good, isn't she?"
"She is. She consoled me for the loss of my Joseph. She is like a daughter to me. She was Eucheria's maid, and was brought up by her. Come and have something to eat before leaving. The others are already taking something."...
... And they trot towards Antigonea, preceded by the cart of Ptolmai, Philip's grandson... They soon reach the little town. Situated as it is among fertile gardens, shielded from winds by chains of mountains around it, far enough not to oppress it, but sufficiently close to protect it and pour on to it the scents of their woods of resinous and essential plants, full of sunshine, it cheers up one's sight and heart only by going through it.
Lazarus' gardens are in the southern part of the town and are preceded by an avenue, which is now bare, along which are the houses of the gardeners. Low but well kept houses, from the doors of which children and women appear watching curiously and greeting smiling. The different races can be told by the different faces.
As soon as he enters the gate, where the estate begins, Ptolmai cracks his whip in a special way when passing in front of each house; it must be a signal. And the inhabitants of each house, after hearing it, go into their houses and then come out, closing the doors and walking along the avenue, behind the two carts, as the horses are ambling and they stop at the centre of radial paths stretching in every direction like the spokes of a wheel, among numberless fields arranged as flower beds, some of which are bare, some full of evergreens, protected by laurels, acacias or similar trees and by other trees which ooze odoriferous milklike juices and resins through cuts in their trunks. There is in the air a mixed scent of balsamic, resinous, aromatic fragrances. There are beehives everywhere, as well as irrigation vats where show-white doves are drinking. And in special areas white hens are scratching about on the bare ground, which has just been hoed, while some girls are watching over them.
Ptolmai cracks his whip repeatedly, until all the subjects of the little kingdom have gathered round the arrivals. He then begins his little speech: "Listen. Philip, our head and the father of my father, has sent and recommends these holy people from Israel, who have come here by the will of our master, and may God be always with him and his family. We have been complaining because there was no rabbi here to speak to us. Now the bounty of God and of our master, who although so far is so affectionate to us − may God give him the welfare that he gives his servants − have procured for us what our hearts desire so keenly. The Messiah promised to peoples has risen in Israel. They had told us at the Feasts in the Temple and in the house of Lazarus. But now the time of grace has really come because the King of Israel has taken care of His lowest servants and has sent His ministers to bring us His words. These are His disciples and two of them will live with us, either here or in Antioch, teaching us the Wisdom of Heaven and the science that is necessary on the earth. John, a schoolmaster and a disciple of Christ, will teach our children the former and the latter wisdom. Syntyche, a disciple and a teacher of needlework, will teach our girls the science of the love of God and the art of needlework. Welcome them as a blessing from Heaven, and love them as Lazarus of Theophilus and Eucheria loves them − glory to their souls and peace − and as the daughters of Theophilus love them: Martha and Mary, our beloved mistresses and disciples of Jesus of Nazareth, the Rabbi of Israel, the promised King."
The little group of men, wearing short tunics and holding garden tools in their earthy hands, and of women and children of every age, listen in utter astonishment, they then whisper and finally bow their heads very low.
Ptolmai begins to introduce them: "Simon of Jonah, the head of the messengers of the Lord; Simon the Cananean, a friend of our master; James and Judas, brothers of the Lord; James and John, Andrew and Matthew" and then to the apostles and disciples:
"Anne, my wife, of the tribe of Judas, as my mother was, because we are pure Israelites and we came here with Eucheria of Judas. Joseph, the son consecrated to the Lord, and Theocheria, our firstborn, who is called after our just masters, a wise daughter who loves God as a true Israelite. Nicolaus and Dositeus. Nicolaus is a Nazirite; Dositeus, our third born, has been married for several years (he says that with a big sigh) to Hermione. Come here, woman..."
A very young swarthy woman comes forward holding an unweaned babe in her arms.
"Here she is. She is the daughter of a proselyte and a Greek mother. My son saw her at Alexandroscene in Phoenicia, when he was there on business... and wanted her... and Lazarus did not object, on the contrary he said to me: "Better so than debauched". And it is better. But I wanted someone with Jewish blood..."
Poor Hermione has lowered her head as if she were accused. Dositeus trembles with anger and suffers. Anne, his mother, looks at him with sorrowful eyes... Although the youngest of all the apostles, John feels that it is necessary to raise the humiliated spirits and says: "In the Kingdom of the Lord there are no longer Greeks or Israelites, Romans or Phoenicians, but only the children of God. When you learn the Word of God from those who have come here, your heart will rise to a new light and this woman will no longer be "the foreigner", but the disciple of our Lord Jesus, like yourself and all the rest."
Hermione raises her mortified head and smiles gratefully at John and the same expression of gratitude can be seen on the faces of Dositeus and Anne.
Ptolmai replies gravely: "God grant it, because apart from her origin, I cannot blame my daughter-in-law for anything. The child in her arms is Alphaeus, her last born, called after her father, a proselyte. The little girl with sky-blue eyes and ebony curls is Myrthica, who was called after Hermione's mother, and this one, the first born, is Lazarus, as our master wanted, and the other one is Hermas."
"The fifth must be called Ptolmai and the sixth Anne, to tell the Lord and the world that your heart has opened to new understanding" says John again. Ptolmai bows without speaking. He then resumes the introductions: "These are two brothers from Israel: Miriam and Silvian, of the tribe of Naphtali. And these are Elbonides, a Danite, and Simeon, a Judaean. And here are the proselytes, Romans or sons of Romans, whom Eucheria's charity redeemed from slavery and heathenism: Lucius, Marcellus, Solon the son of Elateus."
"A Greek name" remarks Syntyche.
"From. Thessalonica. The slave of a servant of Rome" − and there is manifest contempt in saying "servant of Rome" − "Eucheria took him with his dying father, in troubled times, and if his father died a heathen, Solon is a proselyte... Priscilla, come forward with your children..."
A tall thin woman with an aquiline nose comes forward pushing a girl and a boy, with two lovely little girls hanging to her skirt.
"This is Solon's wife, a freedwoman of a Roman lady now dead, and this is Marius, Cornelia, and the twins Mary and Martilla. Priscilla is experienced in essences. Amiclea, come with your children. She is the daughter of proselytes. And her boys Cassius and Theodorus are also proselytes. Tecla, don't hide yourself. She is Marcellus' wife. She is grieved because she is sterile. She is the daughter of proselytes, too. And these are the farmers. Let us go to the gardens now. Come."
And he leads them through the vast estate followed by the gardeners who explain the various cultivations and work, while the girls go back to their hens, which have taken advantage of their absence to trespass on to other ground. Ptolmai explains: "They are brought here to free the soil from grubs before sowing the yearly cultivations."
John of Endor smiles at the cackling hens and says: "They look like those I had once..." and he bends throwing bread crumbs taken from his sack, until he is surrounded by pullets and he laughs because a cheeky one snatches the bread from his fingers.
"That's not so bad!" exclaims Peter nudging Matthew and pointing to John who is playing with the chicken and to Syntyche who is speaking Greek to Solon and Hermione.
They then go back to the house of Ptolmai, who explains: "This is the place. But if you want to teach, we can make room. Are you staying here or..."
"Yes, Syntyche! Here! It's lovelier! Antioch oppresses me with recollections..." John begs his companion in a low voice.
"Of course... As you wish. Providing you are well. It is all the same to me. I no longer look back... Only forward... Cheer up, John! We shall be all right here. Children, flowers, doves, hens for us, poor human beings. And for our souls... the joy of serving the Lord. What do you all say?" she asks addressing all the apostles.
"We are of the same opinion as you, woman."
"Well, that is settled."
"Very well. We will leave with relieved minds..."
"Oh! Don't go away! I will not see you again! Why so early? Why?..." John relapses into a state of depression.
"But we are not going away now! We are staying until you are..." Peter does not know what to say John will be, and to hide his tears he embraces weeping John endeavouring to console him thus...

Swage-locked grating, also called aluminum grating, is mainly made of aluminum steel bars, and other materials can be stainless steel bars. The bearing bars can be rectangular bars or I bars. I bar swage-locked grating is the most widely used type. In the same depth, I bar swage-locked grating can supply the same strength with the rectangular bar swage-locked grating, but it is lighter and cheaper than the rectangular bars swage-locked grating.
The cross bars are inserted into pre-punched holes of bearing bars and then it is hydraulically swaged under tons of pressure to lock the bearing bars in place. In these processes, the swage-locked grating form a permanent locked structure.
The standard bearing bar spacing is 1-3/16" or 15/16". There a type of new products named as close mesh steel grating, which has the closer spacing than the standard. The spacing of close mesh steel grating can range from 7/16" to 11/16".

Another debate has come and gone, and while most discussions debrief the candidates' performance, I want to talk about debate itself.
One of the many things that drives me nuts about debates is how they are almost irrelevant to U.S. political leadership. When does a U.S. president ever need formal debate skills outside of an election campaign?
Our president won't debate Putin. He, or she, will have face-to-face meetings and personal phone calls with him. POTUS does not go to Congress for a U.S. version of Prime Minister's Questions; instead, he has in-person meetings in the Oval Office. The closest POTUS comes to needing debate skills is during press conferences, which sometimes have planted questions for scripted answers.
The U.S. presidency requires personal leadership skills, which have little to do with debate skills.
These days, a debate does not tell the public much information relevant to the presidency beyond a candidate's grace under pressure. We are no longer in the late 20th century when national TV coverage was the way high politicians reached the collective American public. We don't need debates to assess a candidate's communication skills or even to tell us the candidate's positions. We all know that the answers are vetted and canned for national TV. We have also grown accustomed to so many other ways of public communication that trying to reach Americans through the old standard venues is actually a failure of communication.
Debates provide drama, not information, and so much so that they do not identify leadership; they distort it.
For example, take Senator Cruz on Wednesday night. Apparently, he was too stiff and formal, which came as a surprise because he has a reputation as a master debater. Well, he is, but formal debate is completely different than cocktail conversation and conferences. As one of Senator Cruz's constituents who's attended more than a few Cruz for Senate events, I've seen his debating skills for myself, and the cold, stiff rap from last night is not the Ted Cruz that I've seen.

Just about 24 hours after his wanted poster went viral, accused Rogers Centre beer-can tosser Ken Pagan was charged with mischief Thursday evening.
Pagan, 41, of Hamilton, arrived at Toronto Police's 52 Division just after 7 p.m. and entered the station's front doors without speaking to media.
Lawyer Tyler Smith said Pagan was charged upon entering the station with one count of mischief for the incident Tuesday during the Blue Jays-Orioles wild card game.
"We're a little bit concerned, just because of ... a trial by social media that he's had to endure," Smith said. "But right now the presumption of innocence applies to him and we look forward to getting disclosure in court."
The lawyer added he doesn't expect Pagan to face additional charges.
"He is doing his best to co-operate," Smith said.
Pagan was in the University Ave. and Dundas St. W.-area station for about two hours, and upon leaving walked past media without comment again before getting into a waiting SUV.
On Wednesday night, Pagan, who is an employee of Postmedia who works in Hamilton, told the Toronto Sun he had made arrangements to turn himself in. He also said he "was drinking out of a cup" at the game. Smith would not comment when asked about that.
When asked why it took until Thursday evening for Pagan to report to the police station, Smith said the man wanted to ensure he had a lawyer.
"He caught wind that the police wanted to talk to him, so he made himself available. He wanted to get a little bit of advice before he did that."
The image police released of Pagan was taken from a photo of fans sitting above the left field bullpen. A beer can was tossed from the stands in the 7th inning after Jays batter Melvin Upton Jr. hit a fly ball deep into left field. As Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim positioned himself to make the successful catch for the third out, the can came flying out from the stands, narrowly missing Kim.
Kim and teammate Adam Jones then began shouting at the people in the stands.
Pagan is scheduled to appear at Old City Hall court on Nov. 24 at 11 a.m.

From the moment I discovered Glen Hansard and The Swell Season, I was in love. The music is just amazing. Glen's voice gives me chills. And when he sings with Marketa Irglova...I just can't explain it. Their music is incredible, and it moves me. Some of you not familiar with these artists may have at least heard the song "Falling Slowly." It has grown in popularity in the last couple of years and it is mesmerizing.
There is a purpose to mentioning this song, but first I want to give you an opportunity to hear it for yourself. This song won an Oscar when it was used in the independent film "Once." Excellent movie, but for those sensitive to language, they use the "f word" a lot.
The reason this song is so significant to me RIGHT NOW, at this point in time, is that just two days ago, I heard the lyrics in a completely new light. I have always loved the song but never really "felt" it, as a love song. With where Kris and I were at for the first 12 1/2 years of our marriage, this song didn't really speak to our relationship.
Or, at least, I didn't THINK it did.
When, instead of turning on White Collar, (which we usually watch before bed) my amazing husband surprised me and had The Swell Season movie up on Netflix. It made my night. Especially since that same night I was missing Glen Hansard live here at The Pageant. I was giddy as the movie began, like a little kid at Christmas. I had forgotten that it was in our queue, and so it was a pleasant surprise to end the evening, and it was an expression of love, from my incredible husband.
As we watched it, of course the song "Falling Slowly" was mentioned, and sung. As I sat there watching the movie and really hearing the words to this song for the first time, I was amazed at how much the lyrics spoke to our story.
Kris and I didn't really know each other.
We had grown so distant, so far apart.
Kris distracted by his addiction; me distracted by the arms of another man.
We didn't know each other anymore, I realized, once the affair was brought into the light.
And while I was gone, when Kris really started winning my heart back, I could really relate to this concept of not knowing who this new man was, but wanting to. I knew he was different. I knew he was changed. I knew that God had finally broken the chains of his addiction. And I longed to know this man, this man I didn't know.
On the other hand, I felt like the next lyrics actually described my affair.
"Words fall through me, and always fool me, and I can't react. And games that never amount to more than their meant will play themselves out."
Words were always what kept me bound to this affair.
Words that encouraged me and made me feel good about myself.
They always fooled me. The affair was just a game. And affairs will never amount to more than that--to anything more than an affair. No matter where they lead, even if you end up marrying someone you've committed adultery with, the majority of the time, it will "play itself out."
And there will be hurt and pain and brokenness, all over again. Escaping one broken marriage and jumping into another broken-from-the-start marriage will rarely play out the way we think it will, or want it to. You know the saying..."the grass is always greener..." But anyone who has been through something similar to what Kris and I have, and have chosen to stay and fight, know that the grass might LOOK greener. But it's not. It's dark and dry and dead.
I have seen this truth in the lives of my family and friends who have been caught up in something that is so prevalent in our society today. Maybe it'll last a few months. Maybe a decade. But something that starts as an affair will almost always "play itself out."
And then there is the chorus.
Such sweet, amazing lyrics. How very appropriate with the choice I made to come home. To take a risk, fearful and unsure if we could even navigate through the storm. I leapt forward and stepped onto the sinking ship that was my marriage.
We could raise up hope in our marriage.
We were finally home. We were finally singing the same song. We were together, creating this beautiful new marriage, this new melody.
We fool around for too long.
We waste too much time bound by the chains of addiction and sin.
And in the end, when it comes to the light (and it WILL come to the light whether you want it to or not), this is the path that most broken couples choose to take.
But we made a different choice, because we serve a loving and mighty God, who was not about to let us become a statistic.
I am so thankful to God for rescuing us!


In addition to bringing some of my favorite holidays, November and December also means crime season here in Congo. There's a marked increase in the number of thefts this time of year. I presume it is because people are looking to provide for their own Christmas celebrations, but I'm really not sure. While we haven't been victim to any of this crime (nor are we aware that anyone else we know has), we are taking the time to beef up our security.
Today we had a couple of workers doing some work on the concertina wire that tops the walls of our compound. It had been previously installed, but was not streched out widely enough. In fact, it didn't even go around our whole yard. Today it is looking much better. I'm glad it's getting fixed!
I couldn't help but laugh a little as I saw the guys working though. When I was in the military, we had special, thick leather gloves for working with c-wire. These guys don't have any gloves at all, and they're wearing shorts and sandals. To top it all off, one of the workers has been crawling through the coil of wire like a tunnel as he works at stringing it along. That's pretty crazy, if you ask me, but at least it's getting done!
Isn't it incredible how different safety issues are outside of north america!? I see the same kind of stuff here in Guatemala! Makes me laugh when I go back home and there are signs and warning for the funniest things that people here would just use common sense!
