The health of North America's largest estuary, the San Francisco Estuary, is showing some signs of improvement, but much of the historic damage caused to the massive watershed has either not improved or worsened, according to a new report.
The 2019 "State of the Estuary" update, released Monday by the San Francisco Estuary Partnership, shows residents are continuing to conserve water. Meanwhile, there have been increasing efforts to restore the lost tidal wetlands that both provide habitat for wildlife and some protections from shoreline communities.
Caitlin Sweeney, executive director of the organization, said the report "does show that we have made great strides in some areas."
"But I think where we are not seeing the same kinds of positive results are the areas such as freshwater flowing into the estuary; the idea that we need a certain amount of freshwater coming from the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers for example flowing into our estuary in order for the estuary to survive and all of the animals that depend on it," Sweeney said.

The San Francisco Estuary Partnership was created by the state and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1988 to lead restoration projects for the nearly 60,000-square-mile estuary that stretches from the Sierra Nevada to San Francisco Bay. The partnership puts out periodic reports updating the status of these restoration efforts. The last report was released in 2015.
The report on Monday provides an update based on more recent data. Fish populations within the bay, especially in San Pablo Bay, are showing long-term declines, though still faring well compared to fish in the Delta.
"To me there are two messages about the fish," said Letitia Grenier, senior scientist with the San Francisco Estuary Institute. "One is that people in the Bay Area cannot pretend that all this stuff in the Delta doesn't matter to you. It does. All of the problems in the Delta are affecting the full ecosystem and it's not like there is a magical wall that is separating the Delta and the bay."
Part of the impacts to fish may be coming from the lack of freshwater flowing into the bay from the Sacramento-San Joaquin watershed. Chronic drought conditions in the estuary have persisted because of human development and agricultural operations, with dams and water diversions blocking the water from entering the bay. The report states the four lowest flow data points recorded over 79 years have occurred in the last decade: 2009, 2010, 2016 and 2018.
Tideland restoration in the bay is one the key positive aspects in the latest report. The partnership set a goal in 1999 to restore 100,000 acres of tidal marshes in both San Francisco Bay and the Delta, with about 53,000 acres restored so far, including 1,800 acres that occurred since 2015 in areas such as the Corte Madera Marsh and Corte Madera Ecological Reserve.
Several other projects are underway, including several along the Marin coast such as the 1,600-acre restoration project near Bel Marin Keys that is set to break ground later this month. Other local projects include 20 acres at Tiscornia Marsh, about 200 acres at McInnis Marsh and about 9,000 acres at Novato Creek Baylands, Sweeney said.
Mike Vasey, director of the San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, said a significant benefit in the tidal restoration front is the 2016 passage of the Bay Area wide parcel tax, Measure AA, which will pay for bay restoration projects over 20 years. In addition, he said agencies are collaborating to monitor wetland restoration projects throughout the estuary that could be used to improve projects moving forward.
"Everyone is a part of this effort," Vasey said. "That gives it a much better chance of success than if it was somebody's pipe dream."
In addition, the report also explores new issues such as subsidence of agricultural land and risk of flooding, shorelines' resilience to sea level rise and a study about access to urban green spaces such as parks in communities both disadvantaged and otherwise. While more data is needed to draw concrete conclusions, these new aspects of the report are the first by the partnership to examine issues of social and environmental justice.
"We're not going to achieve the health of an ecosystem without considering people as part of the ecosystem and their feedback," Grenier said. "It's not just that we're affecting the ecosystem with our choices, but that the health of the ecosystem is affecting our health."

Q: Generators are called more than expected in React I found a behavior where the generator appears to be called twice.
The following is a simple code that gets a number from the generator and output it to console.
It expects 0 and 1 to be output to the console, but in fact it outputs 0 and 2.
import { useState, useEffect } from "react";

function* counter() {
  let val = 0;
  while (true) yield val++;
}
const count = counter();

function App() {
  console.log("rendered: count = ", count.next().value);
  const [hoge, setHoge] = useState("first");
  console.log("rendered:", hoge);

  useEffect(() => setHoge("second"), [setHoge]);
  return <div>{hoge}</div>;
}

export default App;

demo:
https://codesandbox.io/s/friendly-http-g84cp?file=/src/App.tsx
Not only to useEffect, I also found the same behavior with setInterval. Also, if we remove <React.strict>, the console outputs 0 and 1 as expected.
Do you have any idea why this behavior is happening?

A: As per the docs,
Strict mode can't automatically detect side effects for you, but it can help you spot them by making them a little more deterministic. This is done by intentionally double-invoking the following functions:

*

*Class component constructor, render, and shouldComponentUpdate methods

*Class component static getDerivedStateFromProps method

*Function component bodies

*State updater functions (the first argument to setState)

*Functions passed to useState, useMemo, or useReducer

That Function component bodies being invoked twice is the cause of your problem. That means on initial mount, App function body will be invoked twice and then again on setting a new state, App function body will be invoked twice. By that logic, you should have seen 4 more logs i.e 8 in total.
Here is where the following exception comes :-

Starting with React 17, React automatically modifies the console
methods like console.log() to silence the logs in the second call to
lifecycle functions. However, it may cause undesired behavior in
certain cases where a workaround can be used.

To actually visualize all the 8 logs, you can just do let log = console.log at the top level and replace usage of console.log by log and you will see what's actually happening.
Simply said, don't put such a behavior inside a function body since it's a side-effect for which Strict-mode came into being.
Here is a forked codesandbox to see this :-

A: The <React.StrictMode> exists to detect precisely what you're doing in your code which is an anti-pattern (side-effect in the render function).
This mode executes the lifecycle methods of the components twice on purpose (in your case it's a functional component so the function is being executed twice), while swallowing the console.log by monkeypatching it.
That's why you observe the generator increment without any log in the console.

The Corsair K65 is the cheapest model in the company's current range of mechanical-keyswitch keyboards, coming in at a mere £69. However this is only one of the reasons that we're rather excited by the prospect of it.
You see, what makes it cheaper is that it's a tenkeyless design: that is one that lacks the extra set of numkeys on the right. While there are clear downsides to losing these keys, especially for those regularly entering large volumes of numerical data, for the majority they actually make a lot of sense.
The main benefit is they reduce the space between your hands when using the keyboard and mouse, creating a more natural and comfortable position, which in turn reduces the strain on your wrists and elbows.
Then there is the simple fact they take up less space on your desk. It's easy to not even think about how much space a keyboard uses as we're so used to them, but once you stop to think you realise that, particularly if space is at a premium, having duplicate keys isn't exactly an efficient use of that space.
Having established the general merits of tenkeyless keyboards, let's take a closer look at whether the Corsair K65 is the one to get.
As we've come to expect of Corsair's K series keyboards the K65 is a starkly elegant bit of hardware. Despite its low price it still sports the thick slice of aluminium that is the range's signature with the keys left to sit proud on top of this rather than being sunken into the frame.
The aluminium has a lovely brushed finish with a slight grey tint added to darken its lustre. This is accompanied by a black plastic base and mostly black keys with white lettering. The WASD and cursor keys, though, are grey with white lettering. Finishing off the monotone approach are the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights which are brilliant white pin pricks.
Build quality is good, though it's worth noting the aluminium really is more for show than providing any structural benefit – the bulk of the thing is built from plastic. Also, those keys are a little more prone to being snagged thanks to their lack of any sort of protective surround. That said, we certainly had no incidents during our time with it.
On the underside are the two flip out feet for raising the back edge, for those that prefer a more forward facing keyboard. The amount of height adjustment is fairly minimal (around 7mm), though as ever we prefer to type with the keyboard flat anyway. No wrist rest is supplied unlike with the rest of the K series.
Under here is also where the detachable miniUSB cable plugs in, after routing through an angled channel. Whether a removable cable is really of much use from a travel perspective seems debatable but simply having the option to swap out the cable if it gets damaged is reason enough to want this feature. The supplied cable is a little short - again emphasising the portable potential – but you can of course easily swap this for a longer one.


It's hard but not impossible. You are able to do what looks like it'll take the miraculous. And if you're in need of a miracle, the best news is there's one living God who has no shortage of power to produce miracles.
1. Establish what the truth is.
Relationships are very emotional. You can't fight emotion with emotion. You must fight it with truth. You can't talk yourself out of something you are already struggling with.
– Is his number still in your phone?
– Are you still connected to him or his family/friends on social media?
– Is he all you talk about to your friends and family?
– Do you still talk to or spend time with him because "you're still friends" and you don't want to seem too drastic?
– Are you holding your breath for God to say "just kidding!" so y'all can get back together?
– Are you confessing feelings to him or throwing hints in any way?
All of these things are counter productive to the goal. How do you get over someone you're still leaving a place setting out for on your heart? If you're determined to fight for this person when you know that you shouldn't, you may win that fight and lose yourself.
– What has God revealed to you about this person?
– What has his character revealed to you that your heart has possibly ignored?
– Does what they've said to you line up with what God has been pressing on your heart?
I will just jump right in and share something with you.
If this person is not for you, to walk away from them is not to walk away from love!
To walk away from them to God is to walk toward healing, power, understanding, security, hope, and restoration.
I've been in circumstances where I've looked up and realized that I built a whole world around my beliefs. I didn't care to hear truth, I didn't care to see what the Bible mentioned about my life, and I wanted to avoid conviction.
The truth of the matter is, my life was so much bigger than this person and I needed to see my purpose clearer. There were people on the other side of choosing God's will over my own. There was opportunity that I couldn't begin to imagine–but I knew that to walk into it I would have to take God by the hand and walk with Him.
Unfollow or block them if you must. Tell family and friends not to fill you in on what he's doing, who he's with, how they saw him with your friend etc. what he's doing is none of your business. He's part of a life you are on your way to maturing out of.
He's either not headed where you're headed in life, so you can just let that go for good. Or perhaps God has told you he is saving him for later, either way you need to place the control and timing into God's hands.
As a single woman, I knew God was preparing me to be -not just a wife- but a godly wife and mother. I knew he wanted me to be a praying and God-fearing woman who would encourage my spouse and raise my child to serve the Lord. I knew he'd want my husband to wash me with the Word. Your husband can't wash you with something he doesn't read or meditate on with the help of the Holy Spirit. That man will have nothing of eternal value to offer you if he's not right with God. I knew some of the dreams he'd placed on my heart and I knew it'd require character I had never encountered before.
I didn't know where my purpose partner would come from but I knew he was on the way and I did not want that seat to be filled by my "best effort at doing God's job." I learned you only get God's best, when you do things God's way. There's no question about that.
So let go of him and all your other exes and take time to fall in love with God. Read His Word and pray for fresh revelation. Don't just pray about the relationship and heartbreak, pray for ideas and passion to serve God. Pray for creative opportunities to serve women around you. Pray for character development so that you are ready to handle God's best when it comes because God does a lot of transformation in our hearts when we spend time with him.
What's impossible for man is possible with God so stop saying it's too hard. Nothing is too hard for God. So when you feel tears welling up or your heart drops, say to God, "this is too heavy for me but it's light as a feather for you Lord. Please carry me when I can't stand, please restrain me when my anger boils up, please cover me when I feel vulnerable." Be honest with God about how you feel.
3. Consider doing a fast or taking up a new healthy habit.
Fasting is a process that takes place spiritually to reach a greater depth and capacity with God. It's not that you're looking to make God do what you want, you're actively silencing the world around you so that you can hear his still small voice.
Intentionally, not eating for a period of time. Some people skip breakfast, others dinner, two meals at a time, or opt for just water or juicing fruits/vegetables. There are many combinations. Some people keep their meals and just give up a vice such as junk food, dairy, meat, social media, their phone etc.
When they feel the urge to reach for what they're fasting, they deliberately seek the Lord for the strength to overcome their own habits and temptation.
Some fasts last a week, a month, 40 days and some are even longer. It's great to do by yourself but it's more fun with a friend. In this way you can lean on one another for support and prayer. In addition, you can hold one another accountable. My personal favorite fasts are for as long as I feel God leads me.
I feel like I have less discipline when I know my fast will end in a week. I heavily rely in daydreaming about the day instead of using my extra time to press in to the presence of God.
Taking up a new habit doesn't need to be drastic or expensive.
It could be yoga while listening to worship music, biblical podcasts, or the Bible on audio. It could be going to the gym, cooking dinner every night instead of eating out, going for a run–something that gives you alone time. One of my favorite habits is journaling. It's so powerful to be able to look back and see how God has developed new traits in me. It's cool to see how he answered certain prayers and did more than I asked for. It's humbling to see the importance of the prayers he didn't answer or the times where things didn't go the way I wanted them too.
Get out of your own head. Your thoughts can literally send you to the hospital. Meditating on fear, judgment, what ifs, what people might think, hurts, and pains will weigh you down. What's going on in your brain can literally cause heart palpitations, panic attacks, asthma attacks, or worse. Seek the Word for your truth, block out bad habits, make time to get in tune with who you are, who you've been, and the amazing woman you are becoming!!
For more insight on growing with God through bad relationships, check out my book Hey Beautiful, God Loves You.
Even though I am married, I can totally relate to this. So encouraging and insightful. It'll make you think twice about your current situation and cause you to be convicted. I love it! This is such a great read!

Paul Auster is the bestselling author of 4 3 2 1, Winter Journal, Sunset Park, Invisible, The Book of Illusions, and The New York Trilogy, among many other works. His most recent novel 4 3 2 1 was just selected for the 2017 Man Booker Prize longlist. He has been awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature, the Prix Médicis étranger, an Independent Spirit Award, and the Premio Napoli. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is a Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
"That is where the story begins, in your body and everything will end in the body as well." On January 3, 2011, exactly one month before his sixty-fourth birthday, internationally acclaimed novelist Paul Auster sat down and wrote the first entry of Winter Journal, his unorthodox, beautifully wrought examination of his own life, as seen through the history of his body. Auster takes us from childhood to the brink of old age as he summons forth a universe of physical sensation, of pleasures and pains, moving from the awakening of sexual desire as an adolescent to the ever deepening bonds of married love, from meditations on eating and sleeping to the "scalding, epiphanic moment of clarity" in 1978 that set him on a new course as a writer.

Q: Make my function set variables in the current scope Can it be done?
function my_function(&$array){

  // processing $array here

  extract($array); // create variables but not here
}

function B(){

  $some_array = array('var1' => 23423, 'var2' => 'foo');

  my_function($some_array);

  // here I want to have $var, $var2 (what extract produced in my function)
}

For example parse_str() is able to do this.

A: Edit Wasn't thinking in my first answer.
The answer is no; you can move the extract call inside your function B, that's about it.
Btw, with some more background of your problem I could improve my answer :)

A: This works, but it doesn't extract into the context it was called, just the global...
function my_function($array){
  foreach($array as $key => $value) {
      global $$key;
      $$key = $value;
  }
}

CodePad.
However, I wouldn't recommend it. It's rarely (but not exclusively never) a good idea to unpack a bunch of stuff into the global scope.
As far as extracting into the scope the function was called, I don't think it's possible, or at least, worth doing.

A: I guess you need to return a value if you want to make a one-liner.
function my_function($array){

  // processing $array here

  // Return the processed array
  return $array;
}

function B(){

  $some_array = array('var1' => 23423, 'var2' => 'foo');

  // If you don't pass by reference, this works
  extract(my_function($some_array));
}

PHP doesn't allow you to play with the scope of another function, and that is a good thing. If you were in an instanciated object, you could use $this-> to work on a property, but I guess you already know this.


I have never understood the preoccupation by some with the health of Hillary Clinton. Time would be better spent pointing out her obvious character flaws, her unsuitability for public office and her willingness to exploit political power for personal gain. That said, recent developments have caused us to take a closer look at the man she selected to be her running mate, Senator Tim Kaine.
The current crisis at the border due to the influx of thousand of young people and some children has tugged at our heartstrings and rightfully so.
The U.S. is a welcoming country. We grant permanent legal status to a million applicants a year and temporary visas to countless others as tourists, students or the much abused H-1B program where businesses import workers claiming they can't find qualified U.S. citizens to fill their job requirements. In addition, we admit thousands more as refugees fleeing persecution based on religion, race, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.
The border crises in the U.S. and Israel are not that complicated. Draw on your parenting experience and follow me.
You have two siblings who are fighting. The younger one is injured and comes running to you for help. You punish the older child, but despite all your efforts at peace making, this scenario is repeated again and again until you finally discover that the younger one is the real aggressor. He picks on his peaceful, larger brother until the older boy can stand it no longer and finally retaliates in an attempt to put an end to the conflict. The younger brother's reward is seeing his older brother punished. And, yes, it is worth the occasional bloody nose.
We have a crisis on our souther border. President Obama's solution is to ask Congress for $3.8 billion dollars to process and care for these children who are illegally crossing into our country at an unprecedented rate. This, of course, would only be a down payment because, if these children aren't immediately returned to their home country, thousands more will be on their way.
Meanwhile, Obama is flying the children, many of whom are sick and diseased, around the country and dumping them in selected communities without so much as a warning to local officials.
The U.S. has gone halfway around the world to spread democracy. Too bad, we don't practice what we preach a little closer to home.
It is unconscionable that freedom loving Americans could be standing toe to toe with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Castro brothers in the effort to undermine the people of Honduras as they fight to keep their country free.


In any event, make sure you re write the instant from your words so you grasp the aims of the article. It's mandatory that you limit your issue just before you have the ability to even think of the otibact, otibact, otibact, otibact, otibact, otibact, otibact, otibact. thesis statement. If your essay is not describing a process, for example how exactly to earn an immense chocolate cake, then be certain that your paragraphs drop in the most suitable purchase.

… Our-Father, Lady, Countess-Grae passed light and demure across the softly shifting shades of a turquoise beach.
Formless as beauty likened to the morning mist, her presence cleansed and refreshed the air as she danced; flitting capriciously between the stark but numerous clumps of white seaweed which lay sprawled like bleached and dying spiders: upturned and struggling in the yet cool but rapidly warming, morn-time sun.
They straddled the beach like shredded robes with their puckered strands wafting playful death throes in the sea breeze and as robes which had been wrenched, torn and wildly flung to lie forgotten upon the rising mounds of the blue dunes they appeared to have been discarded and scattered amid the sea's insatiable passion for the sand.
And in her innocence, in her uncertain, whimsical passing Our-Father, Lady, Countess-Grae's ruby feet caressed that same dry and now sullied sand: with all its succulence spent and with its surface baked-dry in the aftermath of the sea's relief.
Yet cajoled and enticed by the arch of her feet and the spring in her step as she ran, the sand was compressed and spilled forth a deeper moistness; the dark clammy grains of which clumped and clung in a rich blue pulp and which squashed and squelched between the niches of her toes; cold, and invigorating as the new day which dawned all around.
A girl again, her laughter bubbled between short gasps, gurgled, giddy and pure as she moved; her reckless spirit sprightly and unabashed, flowing swifter and swifter, until, exhausted from running but still in playful mood she succumbed, collapsing onto the blue-green terrain beside a large vermilion boulder which squatted upon the lip of a small rock pool: its shade only vaguely unsettling her as she fell, splaying out her pale, slender limbs in limp, abject surrender to her surroundings.
As she gradually began to recover and her breath grew more even, her fingers scratched and gently scraped at the purple moss that spread like speculative boredom in dark, sporadic patches across the rock's hunched and brooding form.
But she remained unmindful of the delicate intricacies and patterns which she so idly created for she was lost in the emerald-green sky and there she bathed her resting soul in the lushness of its translucence…
Earl Grae slumbered sardonically in his shell.
"…Still on your mind then?"
"Is what still on my mind?"
"Samuel."
"The 'he' look, behind you."
The etchings which she had scratched in the moss spelled Samuel.
"I still don't understand."
"The 'He', that is his name.
That is what he is 'called'. That is what he is 'known as' or 'goes by'.
That is his title; 'hearkened unto', or 'requested by, the Lords'.
"Oh!" She read the name pronouncing each letter "… Who decided?"
"I did?"
"Just then…"
"…When you were bathing…"
"Sa-M-U-El… mmm, I like that."
"I like it too. A commendable choice…"
"Why, thank you, it was nothing… but, does Sam-U-El struggle, does Samu- El hurt?"
"Yes, of course he does but he loves it to death."
"Oh death, Samuel has touched death then?"
"Grasped dear, grasped."
"Sorry, grasped. How do you know?"
"I read it somewhere…
Here, tell me what you think."…

Spontaneous Internal Combustion.
You may have heard of the phenomenon?
It can now be regarded as the final death-knell for the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.
It is hardly likely that any 'new species' would simultaneously errupt on the face of the planet like so many hot flushes.
Yet, once a memory is framed, and accepted, it can be true at all times and all places without 'compunction'.
It also means, that we are born into a past that never happened,
and pass-on into a future that is real.
Of Truth and Legend…

'The Silver Well: Legend says that St Augustine once visited Dorset. While there he met some shepherds grazing their flocks and asked them whether they would prefer beer or water to drink. The temperate shepherds replied 'water' whereupon St. Augustine struck the ground with his staff, crying, 'Cerno El' as the water gushed out. The words were supposedly a pun on Cernel, the old name of the village and meant 'I perceive God.'
It is thought that the above legend was invented by the Benedictine monks of Cerne Abbey to serve as an attraction to pilgrims.
Closer to the truth perhaps is the story of St. Edwold, a member of the Mercian Royal Family who one day had a vision of a silver well. He went wandering through the countryside and when he came to Cerne he gave some silver pennies to a shepherd in return for bread and water. The shepherd then showed him a well where he could drink and St Edwold recognised it as the well of his vision. He built a small hermitage by the spring and lived there until his death in 871…'
Information Plaque, Cerne Abbas
'Are the monks responsible for the Legend of Silver Well such villains if they tweak the truth in order to entice pilgrims to their shrine?
People who have embarked on a Pilgrimage always get something, even if that something isn not quite what they bargained for.
And how true is the earlier story of St Edwold for that matter?
There was doubtless a hermit and a hermitage at one time.
How he actually came to be there is quite another thing altogether.'

…And then we come across the church.
Cue mass excitement as we take in all the
Giants, which appear to sprout from every orifice…
The body of the church you see is an education in itself.
You probably already know about consecrated ground and unconsecrated ground.
It is the Inner and the Outer, pure and simple.
And this symbolism is carried into the structure of the building.
The gargoyles, the Sheila-na-Gigs, the Green Men, the Giants, the Dragons and the like, they are all on the outside of the church building.
They do not make it into the 'ark'.
The inside is for all the saints and angels. Do you see? It is the same symbolism.
The Inner and the Outer.
…They do have something of the 'otherworld' about them these places.
Not so much Giant Hill itself perhaps although it may have been different had we gone into the Trendle.
It fact I am pretty damn sure it would have been different in the Trendle.
Wen was all for it… even with the helicopter buzzing us overhead. And her logic was very persuasive.
'No unauthorised person beyond this point,' said the sign.
'But we are more authorised than anyone ever could be,' said Wen.
It is difficult to disagree but then the village of Cerne Abbas is in itself quite otherworldly too.
I got exactly the same feel from it as when I first went to Glastonbury.
It felt like we had left England and gone abroad, perhaps to France…
'Albion!' smiles Wen, 'The whole of these Blessed Isles used to feel like this…'

… 'Remind me again, why we are going to Cadbury?'
Part of my reluctance for these, what might be called, impromptu assignations are the inevitable ruptures they make in the overall scheme of things.
Once a pattern has started to form it is somewhat disconcerting to have to unravel it all or even to amend it slightly to accommodate the new strand and even though I know that it is good for the flexibility of the mind and really what we should be doing all of the time it is still an effort and as such is ripe for avoidance if at all possible.
Plus the fact that it is another hill.
On a very hot day!
…Still, as we make our way out of the car-park and look up there does not appear to be much of a hill left to climb.
The Silver-Bullet, bless her aerodynamically modified sides, has already taken us up most of the height.
There is, though, a plague of gnats playing along an extended stretch of the tree tunnel which leads up to the hill-top.
Wen and I both turn our back on them which allows us to see the advertisement for the nearby pub which has been strategically placed for those descending the height.
'Still looking for the castle?'
'At least that's lunch taken care of,' grins Wen.
The thought of lunch and an invisible castle revives me somewhat.
After all what we have here is another Uffington.
Looked at in those terms it is difficult to imagine anything I would rather be doing really, although I still somehow doubt that there will be anything as spectacular as Uffington at the end of this particular tunnel of trees… Interesting how indolence passes from the body to the mind like that.
The best way out of it is to move and to move quickly so I put on something of a spurt to reach the top and leave Wen trailing…
'It's the thought of beer and food which does that you know…'
…There is something otherworldly about walking up a hill, crossing that threshold between the heat of a summer sun and the cool green of the trees. Glimpses of a landscape that conforms to what we have come to know as sacred are seen through breaks in the gnarled trunks, squirrels scamper busily along the branches and the inevitable sound of birds accompanies each breath.
Beside the track steep banks rise, channelling our footsteps through a narrow passage, guarded by ancient sentinels, rooted in earth. As the trees thin and the shade gets left behind it is almost like pushing through a tangible veil as we emerge into the unprotected sunlight of the summit. Looking back, the tunnel of trees closes in verdant darkness behind us, shutting us off from the world we left some five hundred feet below.
A solitary figure stands upon the far bank… there are always three, it seems, somehow. Although I know he is only another walker…I see the glint of a spear and a cloak flapping in the non-existent breeze…
'…Remind me again why we are going to Cerne Abbas intead of staying at Cadbury?'

Ish-na-e-cha-ge, First-Born-Being, roamed among the Animal-Nations.
He understood their ways and their languages.
They beheld him in wonder and awe and could do nothing without his knowledge.
He pitched his tent in the centre of the land and no spot was impenetrable to his gaze.
Even so he longed for companionship.
From a splinter drawn from his Big-Toe he formed Little-Boy-Man and taught him everything he knew.
Eventually the time came for their parting.

"There is one thing that still troubles me," said Wen who really seemed to have the 'Rapunzel' thing stuck in her craw.
"Yaas," said Don, in his most irritating drawl.
"Shouldn't the seasons be sisters?"
"On what grounds?"
"Well, I'm presuming that Mother Nature is an Enchantress precisely because of things like her ability to transform the world through her seasons."
"This is true, Little Grub," said Don with the kind of tired air which suggested he would not be around for very much longer, "but the seasons are really contrived in so far as they are useful for sustaining our life through crops. Agriculture is a technology. A very ancient technology but a technology nonetheless. In that sense the seasons are man made."
"And that's why we can have the debate over whether or not there are really three or four seasons," said Wen.
"Or even two. In the four season year there are really only two pivotal points and their inverse or reflection.
Wen considered this idea for a bit and then pressed on with her original line of thought, "so the brothers are really alchemists?"
"The first alchemists, adding their art to nature, I like that, Little Grub, can I go to sleep now?"
"Only if you give me something to ponder while you're gone."
"You seem to be doing rather well in your pondering without me."
"But it's not the same."
"Why, oh why, my Little Grub, would the day of the king's death be now known to us as Bent-Black-Sun-Day?"
A short time later Don re-entered the temple room somewhat bleary-eyed.
"Better?" asked Wen doing a poor job of camouflaging her excitement.
"You have been grubbing," stated Don by way of an answer.
"The bent twig of darkness grows the petals of the morning and shows to them the birds singing just behind the dawning."
"Ah, Little Grub, 'tis music to my ears."
…and Red-Fox.

…In another part of the meadow Red-Fox was hunting mice for breakfast. He saw one and jumped on him with with all four feet but the little fellow got away.
In his disappointment Red-Fox heard a distant call, "Bring a knife!"
He started in the direction of the call and as it got louder he continued.
By and by he came across the body of Buffalo lying on the ground with Field-Mouse still standing atop it.
"If you dress this Buffalo for me I shall give you some of the meat," said Field-Mouse.
"Very well," said Red-Fox, and he dressed the Buffalo while Field-Mouse sat on a mound nearby looking on and giving orders.
"You must cut the meat into small pieces."
When Red-Fox had finished his work Field-Mouse paid him with a small piece of liver. He swallowed it quickly and smacked his lips, "May I have another piece?" he asked.
"Why, I gave you the largest piece," said Field-Mouse, "How greedy you are. You may have some of the blood clots."
So poor Red-Fox took the blood clots and licked the grass. He really was very hungry, "I have six little ones to feed at home, may I take some more meat?"
"You can take the four feet of Buffalo," said Field-Mouse, "that ought to be enough for your little ones."
"And what of my wife," said Red-Fox.
"Why, she can have the head," said Field-Mouse.
Thereupon Red-Fox jumped on Field-Mouse who just had time to let out a faint squeak before he disappeared.

Marion Chesney, a.k.a. Mystery Writer M.C. Beaton, Dies at 83
Her popular crime solvers Hamish Macbeth and Agatha Raisin were the focus of dozens of books, as well as TV series.

By Neil Genzlinger
Marion Chesney, who in midlife began writing novels and produced more than 150, including mystery series written under the pseudonym M.C. Beaton that featured the endearing crime solvers Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth, died on Dec. 31 at a hospital in Gloucester, in western England. She was 83.
The St. Martin's Publishing Group, whose Minotaur Books published her Agatha Raisin series, announced the death. No cause was given.
Ms. Chesney held an assortment of jobs, including several in journalism, before publishing her first novel in 1978. She wrote romances before turning to mysteries in 1985 with "Death of a Gossip," the first of more than 30 Hamish Macbeth stories.
A later novel described Hamish, the constable in the fictional village of Lochdubh in the Scottish Highlands, as "tall and gangly and lanky and unambitious," yet he had a shrewdness that, book after book, enabled him to crack cases. A BBC television series based on the books, with Robert Carlyle as the constable, ran in Britain from 1995 to 1997.
In 1992, again writing as M.C. Beaton, Ms. Chesney introduced a very different sort of crime solver: Agatha Raisin, a London publicist who retires to Carsely, a fictional village in the Cotswold region of England, where Ms. Chesney herself had recently moved after living in the Scottish Highlands since the mid-1980s. Agatha isn't a detective, but, like Jessica Fletcher of "Murder, She Wrote," she is better at deducing whodunit than the paid professionals are.
In a 2006 interview with Booklist, Ms. Chesney explained that her editor had suggested she try a mystery set in the Cotswolds, and her son inadvertently gave her the hook.
"My son's housemaster was holding a sale for the Vietnamese boat people," she said. "He asked me for 'some of my splendid home baking.' I didn't want to let my son down by saying I couldn't bake, so I bought a couple of quiche and put my own wrappings on them. That was the background to the plot of 'The Quiche of Death.'"
In that book, the first in the Agatha Raisin series, Agatha tries to pass a quiche off as her own homemade entry in a quiche-baking contest, and the judge ends up poisoned.
Agatha too got a TV series, with Ashley Jensen in the lead role. It premiered in 2014 on Britain's Sky 1. A new season, on Acorn TV, began in October.
Ms. Chesney was born on June 10, 1936, in Glasgow. Her father, David, was a coal merchant, and her mother, Agnes, was a homemaker.
"I always wanted to be a writer," she told Booklist. "I would haunt libraries, dreaming that perhaps one day …"
First, though, came a job as a buyer for a Glasgow bookstore, which exposed her to a lot of literature. And it gave her an accidental entree into journalism.
A woman she had helped find a cookbook turned out to be an editor for the Glasgow edition of The Daily Mail and asked if she would want to write a 50-word notice on a production of "Cinderella" that included another editor's nephew in the cast — the understanding being that she had to mention the nephew.
"I wrote the 50 words and thought my brief moment of glory was over," she told Booklist. "But the next week, an office boy gave me two critics' tickets for the Glasgow Empire," a major theater. Soon she was chief theater critic.
She later worked as a fashion editor and as a crime reporter on Fleet Street.
In 1969 she married Harry Scott Gibbons, a journalist whose work led the couple to move to the United States. She was a fan of Georgette Heyer's romances set in the Regency period of British history, and when she complained to her husband that Heyer's many imitators often bungled the historical facts and generally wrote poorly, he challenged her to write a novel herself.
The first, "Regency Gold," was published under the pen name Jennie Tremaine. She wrote more than 100 romances, under that name, her own, and pseudonyms that included Ann Fairfax, Helen Crampton and Charlotte Ward. In recent interviews she acknowledged that she had lost count of how many books she had written, though she estimated that it was at least 160.
"As an ex-reporter I write very quickly," she told the online magazine Shots, "and there are always ideas all about, like what people say, stories in the newspapers, or, in the case of Agatha, an ongoing irritation with political correctness."
Agatha was brusque and in some ways unlikable, whereas Hamish was laid back. Both often found their insular small towns disrupted from without.
"Outsiders always spell trouble for the inbred societies that Beaton observes with such cynical humor," Marilyn Stasio wrote in The New York Times in 1998, comparing "Death of a Scriptwriter," a Hamish Macbeth mystery, and "Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death," both of which had recently been published. "If these strangers in paradise don't themselves poison the well water, they tap the sources of discontent from which all malice and bitterness flow."
Ms. Chesney's husband died in 2016. She is survived by their son, Charles Gibbons.
In an interview last year with the British magazine My Weekly pegged to the recent publication of the 34th Hamish Macbeth book, "Death of an Honest Man," Ms. Chesney was asked about retirement.
"I will be working until I die," she said, "because I am old and I have contracts to honor."

A Pioneer in Sustainability
Since 1864, Irvine Company has made environmental stewardship a guiding principle for every project it undertakes.
As a result, the company today is a nationally recognized leader in sustainability and green design and building for its large portfolio throughout California.
This commitment to sustainability includes the company's portfolio of beautiful apartment communities. A team of in-house conservation experts takes tremendous pride in thoughtfully planning and managing the environmental impacts of the communities through a multifaceted effort that includes water, energy and waste conservation, and efficient landscape planning and maintenance.
More than 150 years after its founding, Irvine Company's commitment to sustainability is stronger than ever. Initiatives range from the small – installing high-efficiency plumbing and "smart" irrigation controllers at apartment communities, for example – to the grand, such as preserving more than 60% of the entire Irvine Ranch as permanent open space. Irvine Company continually searches for new ways to balance community needs with those of the environment throughout its portfolio of apartment, office, retail and resort holdings in California.
Irvine's Open Spaces
For decades, Irvine Company has achieved tremendous results through its commitment to conserving water across its portfolio, making it a leader in the use – and notably, reuse – of this precious resource.
In 2015, Irvine Company launched an initiative to become the world's first major real estate company to create - in partnership with Advanced Microgrid Solutions - a feel of hybrid-electric buildings powered by state-of-the-art energy storage systems from Tesla Energy.
Whenever and wherever possible, Irvine Company irrigates the landscaping at its apartment communities using recycled water. In fact, in Irvine alone, 91% of the water used for landscaping at the company's communities is recycled. Combined with the use of high-tech equipment that delivers precise amounts of recycled water – such as weather-based satellite systems and "smart" irrigation controllers – the company annually saves hundreds of millions of gallons of fresh water at its apartment communities. Here are a few other ways Irvine Company is conserving water at its apartment communities:
1. Over the past couple of years, Irvine Company has installed nearly 16,000 water-efficient toilets and shower heads at its older apartment communities in Orange and San Diego counties. This initiative is reducing water consumption by approximately 60% – or at least 234.7 million gallons annually. To save even greater amounts of water, new apartment communities feature water-conserving fixtures and appliances, including energy-saving washers and dryers.
2. Simply by converting outdoor landscaping to micro-spray sprinklers and using drip-irrigation where possible, Irvine Company saves 36 million gallons of fresh water annually at its apartment communities.
3. Irvine Company has adopted a process known as "fertigation," in which very small amounts of liquid fertilizers are administered through landscape irrigation systems. Plants receive nutrition in very small amounts, increasing the effectiveness of watering and strengthening soils. The water savings over time are substantial.
Irvine Company employs a Water Conservation Task Force whose expert members continually monitor water usage at the company's apartment communities and other properties. Team members work to prevent overspray and runoff, quickly fix any leaks discovered and use the latest water-saving technology both inside and outside the properties.
Landscape irrigation at many of our properties already uses recycled water. Where it doesn't, we have been seeking new sources of recycled water and are encouraged by our negotiations with water districts to make that happen.
Eco-friendly products are used by all divisions, including recycled paper in all restrooms and biodegradable cleaning supplies that are environmentally safe.
Water Experts
Our Water Conservation Task Force, comprised of in-house water experts, meets weekly to report on progress, discuss new conservation approaches that are working, and to coordinate large-scale projects across our portfolio.

Yesterday, I proclaimed " No new books". I spent a lot of time today thinking about that proclamation.
Do I really want to limit myself to just the books that I've already picked for myself?
There's a kind of book I don't want to read any more of. That's the "get started with a project" kind of book, or the general productivity stuff that's floating around.
Nate Eliason wrote Fighting Infomania: Why 80% of Your Reading is a Waste of Time, and I wholeheartedly agree.
So, I'm trying to reduce the consumption of tactical knowledge when it's not helpful, or when I cannot act on it. I want to dwell on substantial, helpful literature, and maybe even find a few books I'd like to read twice.
I don't read TONS of fiction, so I don't see that as a habit I should try to give up.
[Don't read it…] if it doesn't answer a specific question you're currently asking, cover philosophical knowledge, or entertain you, then don't read it.
PS This was prompted by my friend Alex making a sci-fi book recommendation. His recommendations are always excellent, so I felt like my priorities had to be wrong if I banned myself from following up on his suggestions.

UPDATE: CBS Picks Up 'Person Of Interest' & 'Two Broke Girls' To Series
What a day! CBS just joined the pickup frenzy with orders to its two hottest pilots on the drama and comedy side. The network is making calls to producers at the moment, and the first to get one was none other than J.J. Abrams, whose Person of Interest has been picked up to series. The crime drama written by Jonah Nolan and starring Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson had been building momentum, recently emerging as the frontrunner at the network on the drama side. Also picked up is the Michael Patrick King/Whitney Cummings comedy Two Broke Girls starring Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. While Cummings will do her new NBC comedy series, which is in first position, King, whose NBC drama pilot A Mann's World didn't go forward, is expected to be full-time on the CBS comedy, probably co-running it with another comedy writer-producer.
Two Broke Girls

What better way to make the best use of your time while on a long road trip or tedious plane flight than by watching some cool new movies.

This handy wireless drive can store thousands of movies, tons of music, and more to keep you occupied while on the road with 7 hours of battery life.

What you need to do is just to store the kids liked movies to Seagate Wireless Plus, ripped from the purchased Blu-ray/DVD disc, for watching anywhere wirelessly.
You can put many kinds of purchased movies to Seagate Wireless Plus in various formats, but your portable devices maybe can't play all kinds of videos like iPad, iPhone, Android Smart Phone, tablet, etc. For example, your Android phones and tablet can't play the movies ripped from purchased Blu-ray/DVD discs for copy protection. Or too high-resolution file maybe cause a choppy viewing experience or fail to play on your iPad for the too much bandwidth desire. For resolving these issues, you maybe should use a software on your computer to change the file format/codec to one that is supported by general portable devices or modify the file to a lower quality to prevent playability issues.

From the"Format" drop-down option, you can select a format that's widely support by many portable devices such as"H.264 Video(*MP4)" format as the output profile.
For smaller size and better playback your purchased movies via Seagate Wireless Plus, you can adjust the output video parameters. Remember, lower bitrate leads to lower storage space.
Hit the right-bottom"Convert"button to start transcode video on Windows for storing movies to Seagate Wireless Plus.
Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac is a top-ranked video converting application on Mac. It not only has an all-inclusive list of formats and devices for conversion, but also includes nearly every format in its output format list. So it can easily rip and copy purchased Blu-ray/DVD movies to Seagate Wireless Plus with common video format. It enables you convert H.265 MP4 to H.264 MP4/MKV/AVI for smaller size and bandwidth for smoothly streaming on phones and iPad on move.

Rudi Josef Berhausen (* 9. April 1961) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Fußballspieler.

Sportlicher Werdegang
Über die Jugendmannschaften des FC Hirschhorn und VfB Eberbach kam Berhausen 1976 in die Nachwuchsabteilung des SV Sandhausen. In der Spielzeit 1978/79 debütierte er unter Trainer Klaus Sinn für die in der drittklassigen Oberliga Baden-Württemberg antretenden Herrenmannschaft. Nach einem Trainerwechsel zu Heinz Baas im Herbst 1979 etablierte sich der Abwehrspieler als Stammkraft und trug zum Gewinn der Oberligameisterschaft in der Spielzeit 1980/81 bei. Aufgrund der Zusammenlegung der Nord- und Südstaffel in der 2. Bundesliga gab es jedoch in jener Spielzeit keinen Aufsteiger.

Dennoch kam Berhausen ins deutsche Unterhaus, indem er sich dem Zweitligisten Wormatia Worms anschloss. Hier kam er jedoch nicht über den Status eines Ergänzungsspielers hinaus, von seinen sechs Spieleinsätzen im Verlauf der Spielzeit 1981/82 bestritt er vier als Einwechselspieler. Nach dem Abstieg des Klubs zum Saisonende kehrte er in die Oberliga Baden-Württemberg zurück, wo er sich dem Liganeuling SV Neckargerach anschloss. Nach elf Toren in 26 Spielen zog er nach nur einer Spielzeit zusammen mit Mannschaftskamerad und 13-fachem Torschützen Jochen Kruppa zum Ligakonkurrenten VfR Mannheim weiter. Unter Trainer Rudi Dielmann war er an der Seite der Ex-Profis Bernd Dobiasch, Peter Gadinger, Michael Schüssler und Karl-Heinz Walter direkt Stammspieler. In der Spielzeit 1984/85 wurde die Mannschaft Vizemeister der Oberliga und qualifizierte sich für die Deutsche Amateurmeisterschaft 1985. Dort schied Berhausen mit der Mannschaft im Halbfinale gegen die Amateurmannschaft des SV Werder Bremen nach zwei Niederlagen aus. Nach einem Platz im hinteren Mittelfeld im folgenden Jahr rückte er zunehmend ins zweite Glied.

1987 wechselte Berhausen zum Ligakonkurrenten SG Heidelberg-Kirchheim, wo er unter Gerd Störzer trainierte und auf Spieler wie Lothar Schlapp, Ulrich Kretz und Dragan Antic traf. 1989 stieg er mit der Mannschaft in die Verbandsliga Baden ab, wo er noch bis 1993 aktiv war. 1991 und 1992 verpasste die Mannschaft als Vizemeister hinter dem VfB Leimen respektive dem VfR Pforzheim den Wiederaufstieg in die Drittklassigkeit nur knapp. Anschließend ließ er bis 1996 seine Karriere beim VfB Eberbach ausklingen.

Später war Berhausen als Trainer im nordbadischen Amateurbereich tätig und betreute den FV Nußloch und den VfB Rauenberg.

Last month, we embarked an epic 3 week road trip. The trip had been at least a year in the making. It was originally intended to be a 6-8 week trip, a trip that would take us through the South and out to the West Coast and back. As we've never officially road tripped before, and we weren't sure what to expect, we decided to chop the trip into two parts and we started with a 3-4 week trip through the south east to Texas.
One of our stops was in New Orleans Louisiana. This was our first trip to New Orleans so we tried to do it all. We explored Bourbon Street and drank a few Hurricanes. We went deep into the swamps in search of alligators and fresh crawfish. We stuffed ourselves silly with beignets and all the other New Orleans delicacies like Etouffee, Gumbo, Jambalaya and Chargrilled Oysters. I think we even tried Alligator, I think it was good. It tasted like chicken.
As I always, I like to bring the spirit of a city and place back home with me. Sometimes in the form of cheap souvenirs. Sometimes in the form of a memorable meal. So in the spirit of New Orleans, I present to you………..Creole Jambalaya.
I want to address the fact that I am not from New Orleans. This was my first trip. I am sure there are as many ways to make Jambalaya as their are ways to skin a cat. I don't know if I have broken any cardinal rules regarding jambalaya, but this recipe is a keeper. It's good, it's not too spicy.
Cook the Andouille Sausage slices in a dutch oven or large pot in a little olive oil until they are slightly caramelized on both sides, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Add crushed garlic, onion, bell pepper and celery to the pan and saute until soft, about 3-4 minutes on a medium heat.
Add the seasonings to the pan or pot and stir well, then add the rinsed rice and add that to the pan along with the chicken broth and fire roasted tomatoes and return the andouille sausages to the pan, mix well to combine.
Bring it to a boil then reduce the heat to low, add the lid, and simmer for 20 -35 minutes or until rice is fully cooked.
Once the rice is cooked stir in the raw shrimp, then put the lid back on and simmer for 15 minutes. The heat from the rice should be enough to cook the shrimp all the way through. If it's not hot enough, serve with hot sauce on the side.
Recipe found and adapted from www.noshtastic.com.

SOURCE SPORTS: Kevin Garnett's Bid To Buy The Minnesota Timberwolves Has Been Withdrawn

It appears Kevin Garnett won't be involved in any potential sale of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In Garnett's Instagram story on Thursday, he wrote that he "got the news that the process in trying to acquire the Timberwolves was over" for him and his group. In that post, Garnett hinted at the possibility of getting involved with ownership bids for potential expansion teams in Seattle and Las Vegas.
Appears that KG has officially come to terms with not being involved in a sale of the Wolves. Short on details here so it is unclear if it was a money issue or if other things got in the way. pic.twitter.com/E4BsDTYSib

When you think of the Wolves as a franchise, the first name that comes to mind is Garnett. His issues with the current owner are deep rooted, even contributing to the fact that the Wolves haven't even retired Garnett's jersey yet.
Glen Taylor, who has owned the Wolves since 1994, has been fielding bids to sell the team since last summer. Garnett and a pair of billionaires recently got involved and placed a bid. Unfortunately, Garnett's group is now out.
Taylor wants to sell the team to an owner willing to keep the Wolves in Minnesota long term. In December, he said that the COVID-19 pandemic slowed the process of selling the team.

There is a lot to consider in terms of where the in Chesterland will be placed at an event. The rental company in Chesterland may make some suggestions, but it is ultimately up to the host to determine exactly where the toilets should be located to best meet the needs of all guests in attendance.
Many in Chesterland do not have their own water system. This means they need to be located near a water hookup. The restroom trailers that are fully accommodated, such as including air conditioning, may need to be hooked up to electricity in order to run. The space needs to have these hookups in order to rent this type of facility. Without it, basic stalls may be all that can be used.
People will have to use the restroom more if they are eating and drinking at the event. During a concert or festival, many people are also more likely to take a trip to the bathroom while they are already up looking for a bite to eat. This makes a spot near food and beverages ideal for placing the in Chesterland. Guests can quickly make their way between the toilet and the food stations when they are placed within a short distance of each other.
Costs sometimes increase during peak seasons, particularly during summer months when concerts, fairs, festivals, weddings, and other special events are frequently seen. For this reason, it is best to look into advanced booking. If hosts pre-book their rental during winter, for example, it could save money. It also ensures the in Chesterland will be present when needed. Those who wait until the last minute to book will not only be paying more, but they may have trouble even finding a rental available at all.


I first wrote this in 2010, for my new great-grandson, Judah. He was about to celebrate his first Christmas. I thought it was interesting then and still relevant today. I have had time to reflect on the subject in this article and have sort of updated it for this posting.
I am about to celebrate my seventy-first Christmas. I am blessed. For the previous years are memories and should I make it to Christmas Day, this one will also become a memory. I trust it will be special.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…" Of course, you recognize the lines from Charles Dickens', "A Tale of Two Cities." Taking those lines completely out of context from the novel, I reflect upon the past years of my life and I find some truth in those words. If one is to recall the events of years past, it must be noted that not only are pleasant memories embedded in the mind, i.e., the best of times, but also those situations that remain dreadful, i.e., the worst of times. They provoke emotions. Those emotions drawn by our memory epitomizes life itself. Life does not have to be perfect. It just seems that way. If it were perfect, we would be unable to live even those idyllic experiences to their fullest. For every good and pleasant circumstance that we recollect, we are reminded of those forgettable times of which we cannot forget. Our memories can confront us at any time. Although, it seems the Christmas season causes most memories to become more spirited. Yet, it is very difficult to lay aside those that I wish to forget.
My plan this year, however, is to focus only on those pleasant memories. My conscience says, "Good luck with that". Christmas seems to me to be a time to reflect on the year that has passed from us. Who among us can forget Christmases past?
As I think back to another time, I recall my firstborn. I was stationed on board an aircraft carrier, in Japanese waters at the time of my daughter's birth. In those days, there was no internet, no Skype, no email, no texting, not even the ability to receive a phone call. Unable to communicate, I knew nothing about the big event until the ship arrived in Yokosuka, Japan, a few days after the occurrence. The commanding officer then relayed the information to me. That was in November of 1959.
I think about how the birth of Jesus was announced. His announcement probably reached more people faster than I learned about my daughter's birth. Those angels and shepherds worked very fast.
I celebrated my first Christmas as a new father in a far-off land. I must say, it was not the happiest Christmas I ever had, because I was so far away from my wife and newborn daughter.
Three years later another daughter was born and then with another Christmas passing, a son arrived into our home. As our family grew, our Christmases became more wonderful and exciting. Never having a lot of money for gifts, we made up for it with the love of each other. I do not believe anyone was ever disappointed. Who could ever forget the Hula Hoops, Barbie dolls, Hot Wheels, Chatty Cathy dolls, Easy Bake Ovens, Play Doh, skateboards, and Silly Putty or G.I. Joe? I would wager you are now recalling toys of your youth.
I certainly remember all the great toys I had when I was growing up. You see, that is the neat thing about memories. You can replay them over and over again. Each time you do, they become more vivid and special. I was envious of my children's toys but my toys were just as special to me as theirs were to them. It is unimaginable the electronic devices and toys that kids receive in this day and time.
As each generation turns the Christmas traditions over to the next, it simply means you bank more memories. For many, these pleasant memories overtake those that unwillingly clutter our mind. Yet, there are those who struggle with maintaining some semblance of sanity.
I believe that each of us have both good memories and not so good memories. How do we keep from dwelling on those we would just as soon forget? I don't know all the answers, however, for me it is a faith in God.
That is why Christmas 2010 was very special. For you see, a new generation began. New chapters of memory can begin filling the pages of our minds. Judah, my first great-grandson by my granddaughter, Misty, celebrated his first Christmas. He may not remember anything about it but you can bet we will store each little tidbit in the memory bank. Much like a musical piece as it arrives at its crescendo, getting louder with every note, the memories become more vivid, with every song, Christmas bells, laughing children, incessant merchandizing, and so forth.
After looking back over the past seventy-odd years, I find the Christmas seasons full of memories. I suspect you do as well. For Christians around the world, it is a time of reflecting on the Gift that God gave to the human race. It was in Jesus that God gave us the greatest gift. He came to save us, to give us salvation, and eternal life. He gives us that gift freely, by the riches of his grace. We celebrate the extravagant and lavish love of God, demonstrated by the birth of Jesus Christ.
Hopefully, we will recognize that Christmas is not just a time set aside for gifts or for recalling those special memories. As you celebrate Christmas this year, keep that thought in mind.
P.S. For this Christmas 2012, I have a new great grandson, Zayne. Zaybe, your memory bank is just beginning. Judah, yours is growing fast.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health has levied $816,000 in fines against nursing home providers already in the first half of 2017. That is more than double the $407,450 in fines handed out in 2016. The department also handed out fines of $170,050 in 2015 and $62,000 in 2014.
In 2014, there were 7 cases where the department found a citation that had caused a resident actual harm. So far in 2017, there have been 88 cases. This vast increase in fines is due mostly to regulators using a more rigorous penalty system. The rigorousness is coming after receiving criticism for being too lenient on insufficient care. "When the auditor general looked at our oversight of nursing homes, one of the key recommendations was to be more aggressive in our oversight, and we are," the department said earlier this year in a statement. In October 2016, Secretary of Health Karen Murphy announced that the department would be using more discretion in determining how much it would fine facilities. The department will be taking into account the level of harm, how long it takes for a problem to be fixed, the facility's track record of compliance, and other factors.
April Hutcheson, a department spokeswoman, said the department has resumed using federally mandated anonymous reporting, which had been discontinued previously. State surveyors also received federal training last year for how to identify the scope and severity of the situation "and, as a result, we have seen an increase in citations of deficiencies at the actual harm and immediate jeopardy level," said Lorraine Ryan, a CMS spokeswoman.
In our last blog post we talked a bit about signs that it might be time to consider assisted living for an aging loved one. In this post, we will talk a bit about Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Abuse. How often abuse occurs, what to be on the lookout for, and what to do if you think an aging loved one has been abused or is being abused.
Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and elder abuse are common and take many forms. According to the Office for Victims of Crime, roughly 5 million people over the age of 65 are victims of elder abuse or nursing home abuse each year. Abuse can be physical, psychological or sexual. Abuse can also take the form of neglect and financial exploitation. Abuse can come from anywhere, even friends and family members. Even more frightening is that only 1 in 24 cases of elder abuse or nursing home abuse is reported to authorities.
