A change is as good as a rest....or so they say!: 4 days as a Sydneysider!
After work on Tuesday instead of the normal trip home I headed off to the domestic airport and bound a plane for Sydney.
I arrived in Sydney after the 1.5hr flight excited to see what the capital of NSW was like...the trip from the aiport to Central station was very simple but a little expensive ($15 for a 9min train journey!) and once I got there, found the correct exit and headed off to my accommodation. From landing at Sydney to getting to the hostel took me just over 30mins - pretty impressed with that!
I have not stayed in a hostel before but thought I would give it a go as it was cheaper than a hotel and would have people in similar situations to me - travelling about! I got up to my room which I was sharing with 7 other girls and tried to make my bed in the dark (it was about 11pm and I didn't want to wake anyone up!), this was aided with a brilliant tip from my sSister Ellie to take a sleeping bag liner - such a good idea! The next discovery was that the communal bathroom on my floor was being refurbished so we had to use the ones on different floors - boo!
Anyway I headed to bed as the next day I had an early start as was meeting at 8am for a wine tour of the Hunter Valley. We (me and two others) were picked up from outside the hostel and after another collection stop we headed off to the Australia Wildlife Park for morning tea and a visit with some local inhabitants! Some cute and one that I was feeling very brave with!
So after having fun with the animals it was back on the bus and over to a chocolate and fudge factory - delicious fudge (bought some but don't have any left!) - before heading onto the first Winery at Warraroong Estate for a tasting of wines under the label of Swish Wines and Tin Soldier. The last time I went to a wine tasting (well properly!) was when I was about 12 in New York - this one was lots more fun and we tried about 13 wines...most delightful, I even tried red wines. I ended up buying a case of wine - just hope it tastes nice when it gets here as I can't remember it clearly any more!
So after this winery we headed onto to two more, Tempus Two and Tamberlaine. Tempus Two is a larger brand and Tamberlaine is an organic winery - both were nice but not as good as the first - no more cases bought and no more photos as it was raining! After we had finished at the wineries we headed off for our last stop at a brewery - no idea what it was called as had drunk enough by this point and I am not a big beer/lager drinker! We then headed back into Sydney for about 7pm where I had dinner and an early night as was shattered!
The next day I woke up and the sun was shining so off exploring I went - Darling harbour for breakfast, Sydney Aquarium and Centrepoint Tower for 360 views of Sydney.
I walked round Farm Cove to get a better view and decided to stop and have a glass of wine at the Opera bar which turned into lunch and most of the bottle - it was a little mesmorising and quite difficult to walk away from....well until a crazy decided that trying to proposition me was a good idea - only problem with travelling on your own - you can attract the crazies - anyway the bridge was stunning and the Pinot Grigio went down well too!
I then caught the ferry round to Darling Harbour and walked home taking lots of silly photos which have been edited out of the ones on FB! Why I think I can be arty after a few glasses of wine I don't know!
A quick dinner in Chinatown and then back to the hostel where I had a chilled evening chatting with one of the girls from the room - don't know her name but she was from somewhere near Memphis!
After the zoo I headed back into Sydney (its on the other side of the harbour) and thought about walking back to the hostel - about halfway through my feet were screaming at me and I was soaking (yes it was still raining!) so I headed to the nearest train station to get the train back to Central - this may sound easy but in the cold, wet and dark it was not as straightforward! I eventually found the citycircle trains and got to Central where I proceeded to leave through the wrong exit to the station and it took me about 40 mins to work out where I was and eventually make it back to the YHA. By this point I was cold, tired, wet and my feet were killing me so all I wanted to do was go home to my nice bed in my nice room in Brisbane - tried to change my flight but couldn't - just as well really as the next morning the sun had come out and I had a lovely day walking round the Chinese garden of friendship and then met up with the lovely Sam from my NT Contiki tour and we whiled away the afternoon with lunch and a coffee in Darling Harbour - tres pretty!
So having said goodbye to Sam I headed back to the YHA to get my luggage before heading to the airport for my nice and simple flight - it didn't quite work out that way so with a delayed flight, no airtrain because it was too late to a bus, train, bus combo to get home I finally made it home at just past 11 last night about 2.5hrs late!
I had a great time and really liked Sydney and am looking forward to going back and enjoying it with other people when Mr & Mrs M are in Australia and also when Inge and Lucy arrive later in the year!

just to rule out columns precedence.
I guess your Event table does not have column year?
Ordering by an existing column does work. And Event doesn't have a column year.
I know I can also use JOIN, I already did that in my code, I'm just trying to figure out if this is a bug.
And Event doesn't have a column year.
So that is the culprit. PHQL will try to use latter table.... for some reason. IDK whenever it's a bug or "by design" thing. Hope someone with more in-depth knowledge about it will reply.


The questioner was Polly, who said that she wanted to struggle with negative emotion, remembering what was said about how once the negative emotion had been expressed it was too late.
"Were they proceeding?" Mr Adie asked.
Polly then stated that that is what usually happens. She had prepared for a meeting with someone with whom she often becomes negative, and the rest of the week seemed completely different because of that one meeting.
"When you say, "drinking", you mean having too get much and getting tiddly?" Mr Adie asked.
"There is such a difference between how I can think now, and the justification I feel at that time," said Polly.
I should add, that when one has made many efforts there is indeed something one can do after a negative emotion has been expressed. At the beginners' level, one can, as Mrs Adie said on several occasions, draw the force of the negative emotion back in from one's atmosphere. If you attempt it, especially if you have ever learned Gurdjieff's "atmosphere exercise", you will find that it is possible. A Mrs Adie, something of the emotional force remains in our atmosphere, and by pulling it back in, one actually tastes it better, and acquires some extraordinary force. As Ouspensky said, the fine higher elements which our positive emotion should use are generally used by our negative emotions. By digesting what is left of these higher hydrogens after they have been expressed, then, if I have a sense of contrition, I feed on this rich food, but this time, for my being. Again, one understands this better when one has learnt from a genuine teacher.
The second thing one can do, and this even more advanced, is consciously transform the negative emotion. Again, it depends upon the inner exercises, and it has to be done at the very moment I am feeling it.

Richard Jefferson
September 25, 2017 September 25, 2017 ~ MIKE
Supported by Greenhaven Road Capital, finding value off the beaten path.
Richard Jefferson spoke with Bill Simmons about the NBA, LA, and the media.
Place matters.
"I'm down there in San Diego with nothing to do. It's beautiful but you get lazy as shit there really quick. Everyone is super happy and mellow. I had to move up to LA."
Jefferson didn't thrive in San Diego, so he left. Ken Burns lives in New Hampshire, not New York. George Lucas left Hollywood for San Francisco. Milton Hershey lived in central Pennsylvania. Warren Buffett lives in Omaha.
Place in part of our ecosystem. Place affects our actions.
Compounding debt or surplus?
"A lot of the things I learned there (in San Antonio) have helped me prolong my career since I left there. Like the way, you need to work out during the summer. The way you need to take care of your body. The constant focus on your weight and your body fat."
As a Spurs fan, I was excited when Jefferson signed with the team. Their engagement was a disappointment. But he learned about physical debt there. If you don't take care of your body then the debts pile up, compound, and come due.
Surpluses compound too. Adam Grant said his first book took twelve years to write. That's compounding. Illmind compounded his work into a career. Compounding also works in Fitness and Finances.
Accounting for our debts and surpluses helps because we'll be in situations where we can't pay down or build up. The NFL is like this said Michael Lombardi. There's no time to build up your intellectual capital during the season.
Added value.
"I'm always surprised that some owner hasn't given Chip Engelland twenty million dollars a year. Think about all the money they spend on players, coaches, and everything. This shooting coach has transformed all these different people. I would think that's worth at least as much as an all-star." Simmons
Engelland is the "shot doctor". The question is, how many wins can a coach add? This may be an analytics edge.
In baseball, this played out Big Data Baseball. The Pittsburgh Pirate's analytics team found that shifting players, ground ball pitchers, and the right catcher were one way to win. Hiring analysts to maximize player value was cheaper than an all-star.
The Pirates adopted the design mindset to express, test, and cycle. What organizations shouldn't do is cut and paste. As Adam Grant and Shane Parrish explained, you want to ask, in what conditions does this work? The Spurs are famous for their culture. It's one of the building blocks of Gregg Popovich's team. Remember, place matters.
The skill jar of Jason Kidd.
"He was so smart that he had this whole second part of his career when he was athletically thirty percent of what he was but he knew where to go and who to set up." – Simmons
Whether mental or physical, much of life is about being in the right place at the right time. We can do this one of two ways.
Move quickly, physically or mentally changing our position.
Be accurate, begin close to the correct place.
Kidd shifted his career from one to another.
Media reports. About the 2004 Olympics Jefferson said:
"We were murdered by the media. They were like, they don't care. No. None of us had any experience in this."
"I'm introducing myself for the first time two weeks before the Olympics. And Larry Brown was the worst possible coach we could have had. For that team, they couldn't have picked a worse coach."
Media is like a funhouse mirror. Parts will be accurate and parts will be distorted. Andre Agassi was 'all show and no go.' Russell Martin was 'bad.' These are only the outside view. The media has both objectivity and information deficiency.
Thanks for reading. I'm mikedariano.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A person with knowledge of the negotiations has told The Associated Press that Nebraska has finalized a deal to hire Fred Hoiberg as its coach.
Hoiberg was fired in December by the Chicago Bulls. He takes over for Tim Miles, who was dismissed on Tuesday after seven seasons.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Saturday because the school has not announced the hiring.

Bihar was een comitaat in het koninkrijk Hongarije. Het grondgebied ligt nu in het noordwesten van Roemenië, grofweg het district Bihor, en in het oosten van Hongarije, in het comitaat Hajdú-Bihar. De hoofdstad was Nagyvárad (hedendaags Oradea).

Geografie
Bihar grensde aan de andere comitaten Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok (historisch) , Békés, Hajdú, Szabolcs, Szatmár, Szilágy, Kolozs, Torda-Aranyos en Arad. Drie zijrivieren van de rivier Criş/Körös stroomden door het gebied: de Crişul Repede, de Crişul Negru en de Berettyó. Het westelijke deel van het comitaat lag in de Pannonische vlakte, terwijl het oostelijke deel in het Apusenigebergte ligt. De oppervlakte bedroeg rond 1910 zo'n 10.657 km².

Geschiedenis
Bihar was een van de oudste comitaten van het Hongaarse Koninkrijk en bestond al voor de 12e eeuw.

In 1918 werd ongeveer 75% van het grondgebied aan Roemenië toegewezen, wat bevestigd werd in 1920 met het Verdrag van Trianon. Het westelijke deel bleef deel van Hongarije. De nieuwe hoofdstad van het kleiner comitaat werd Berettyóújfalu.

Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog versmolt Bihar met het comitaat Hajdú tot Hajdú-Bihar. Het zuidelijkste deel van Bihar (de streek rond Sarkad en Okány) ging naar het comitaat Békés.

Het Roemeense deel van Bihar werd het district Bihor, behalve het zuidelijkste deel (rond Beliu), dat deel uitmaakt van het district Arad.

Districten
In de vroege 20ste eeuw bestond Bihar uit verschillende districten (járás), waarvan de hoofdsteden waren:

De steden Derecske, Berettyóújfalu, Biharnagybajom en Biharkeresztes liggen nog steeds in Hongarije, terwijl de andere steden in Roemenië liggen.

Guest Blog by Austin J. Ruddy - A Question Of Uniformity
As researchers of ARP/CD, just like any other militaria collectors, we often seek surviving uniforms that are badged up as much as possible, providing a full example and display of the various types of insignia that were issued. This blog has shown some great examples in recent weeks.
However, for a variety of reasons, not all ARP and CD uniforms found today are badged up like the proverbial 'Christmas tree'. Regional variations, badges never issued or since removed, even the limited knowledge of those wishing to reproduce or fake a uniform can explain the different variations encountered. Indeed, as contemporary photos show, many CD personnel were simply issued with a battledress tunic bearing only the CD chest patch, sometimes applied during the garment's manufacture.
Very often, both ARP and CD uniforms carried a city, town or county area title, worn on the chest below the service insignia. These are now very collectable, even more so if the named area was heavily blitzed. Some years ago, I found a 'LEICESTER' yellow CD area title for my home town, but try as I may, I could not find any examples of the city's preceding red ARP area title.
Scouring through contemporary photos of the city's ARP personnel with a magnifying glass, I noticed that although they wore the standard red 'ARP' service chest insignia on their ARP 41 bluette overalls, no area title was present. ARP personnel of many, if not most, towns and cities wore an area title, not least for reasons of esprit de corps, so, why did Leicester, a city with a long and proud history, not have one, especially as an area title was worn on later CD uniforms?
Leicester ARP Rescue personnel, 15th September 1940. Note the lack of area title below the ARP service chest insignia. Also note the unusual Rescue Party Leader shoulder strap insignia.
I discovered the answer whilst researching my book, Tested By Bomb And Flame: Leicester Versus Luftwaffe Air Raids, 1939-1945. As is so often the case, archive records provided the explanation. Fortunately, the ARP Minutes of the City of Leicester Corporation survive at the Record Office for Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland, at Wigston. These minutes reveal the thinking behind the decisions and expenditure made by the city's ARP Committee.
Leicester's ARP started receiving their uniforms from March 1940, with the receipt of '864 ARP 41 bluette combinations for male personnel' at a cost of £453.12.0d (around £24,000 today or around £28 each – a bargain today!). However, when it came to purchasing an area title, it would appear the committee drew their purse strings tight and the spending ceased.
It was only two years later, with the official Ministry of Home Security instruction that the city's ARP Committee minuted on 9th February 1942: 'in accordance with the provisions of HSC 189/1941, a local marking (the name of the City) be provided for each new uniform issued to CD personnel, named 'LEICESTER'.' The county area would follow six months later, with the issue of a 'LEICESTERSHIRE' CD title.
Embroidered Leicester CD area title, issued after February 1942.
This was not the only example of Leicester ARP Committee's minimalist and thrifty-thinking. Unlike elsewhere in Britain, Leicester ARP Committee's VE Day celebrations were muted, to say the least: 'In view of the circumstances and subject to there being no further guidance from the Government on the matter, this Committee are of the opinion that no arrangements should be made for a final parade of CD Services.' Likewise, on the question of a commemorative service certificate for CD personnel, as issued in neighbouring counties, official instruction said 'that such a Certificate should be issued is left to the discretion of the local authority.' On 16th July 1945, the ARP Committee resolved that 'in view of the fact that typed letters of thanks have been sent to the personnel of the local authority Services, the suggestion that a further Certificate of Thanks be issued, be not entertained' – hence why no official illuminated Leicester CD certificate of service will be found by collectors today or ever!
A footnote: Around 2010, whilst attending a 1940s reenactors event on the Great Central Railway, at Quorn station, Leicestershire, I did a double-take to see an ARP reenactor wearing a red 'LEICESTER' ARP area title, contrary to contemporary records and photos. A close gawp suggested that if this was a reproduction badge, it was very well made. To get to the bottom of the matter, I asked the reenactor how, if it was original, he had such a research-defying badge – his answer was that he used a red felt tip pen to colour in an original yellow 'LEICESTER' CD area title! Some years later, this amended badge appeared for sale on eBay. Occasionally, reality defies your eyes and logic…

Salim Chisit Mausoleum, India
Devotees have a strong belief that their wish gets fulfilled if one ties a thread on the screens which are made up of marble in the main tomb.
Saleemuddin Chishti who was very populary known by the name Salim Chisti was leading the Shaikzada division and fought the battle of Haldighati against Maharana Pratap along with the great Mughal Emperor Akbar. Salim Chisti as many people who have experienced said that he did wonders and was a great Sufi Mystic. The Mughal Emperor was a staunch believer of this Sufi and hence used to trust him blindly and used to take his advice as well. He had such great regard for him that it is said that he had built the Fatehpur Sikri around the camp of the Sufi saint and all of his Mughal courtiers and court were shifted there. After the death of the sufi saint Akbar built this tomb in memory of this great legend whom he regarded a lot. The Salim Chisti's mausoleum is termed as the perfect example of the architecture of Mughals in India and was built in the year 1580 to 1581. This is located near the Zenana Rauza and faces towards the south of the Buland Darwaza within the vicinity of Jama Masjid which is measuring 350 feet by 440 feet. This is the burial place of the great Sufi saint, Salim Chisti who was born in the year 1478 and died in the year 1572, he was the descendent of the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti who belonged to Ajmer. Akbar constructed his mausoleum as a token of gratitude as he had blessed Akbar and had predicted that he would be bestowed by a son named Jahangir.
This mausoleum rests upon a platform of around 1 meter in height and has a small staircase of 5 in number leading to the portico entrance. This building is covered by marble screens which are very delicate on all the sides and in the main hall's center lies the mausoleum and this has a sing dome which is semi circular in shape. This building is very beautifully and delicately carved and in appearance resembles an ivory. The plinth has an arrangement of geometry shape with mosaics which are made with yellow and black marble.
The marble cenotaph is enclosed by chhaparkhat and a green cloth is usually used to cover this. The door which leads to the main chamber is delicately carved with patterns of arabesque and has the Koran inscriptions on it. The interior bays are of brown marble and the Koranic verses have a blue backdrop on the relief panels. The tomb chamber is decorated with colorful stones and also has paintings and carvings on it.
The tomb has a great significance and the devotees have a blind belief that all of their wishes get fulfilled if they were to tie a thread on the tomb and once the wish gets fulfilled there is no need to return to this place to remove the thread.
Construction – Salim Chisit's Mausoleum
The construction started in 1580 and got completed in 1581, the marble building is so beautifully carved that it looks like it is fully done with marble. This is very neatly done and has delicate carvings on it. The serpentine brackets which emerges from pillars are carved very stylishly and is like the pattern of a peacock's tail and the slopes just adds on to the beauty of it. The verses that are carved on the tomb are of great meaning and hence has a lot of significance. The construction of this tomb took only one year for completion.
The Great History
Akbar had no heirs and hence was desperate to have a son who could take care of his throne after him. His earlier two queens had no issues but Salim Chisti said that he would have an heir and blessed him with a son and a son was born to him and his third wife Jodha Bai and hence in honor of this great sufi saint he built the Mausoleum in Fatehpur Sikri. Jodha Bai was the Mughal Emperor's favorite queen and her son was the king Jahangir.
One has to strictly adhere to the timing which they specify.
Cameras are restricted in few of the places and hence better to avoid carrying it.
A person under the influence of alcohol is strictly not permitted.
How to Reach Salim Chisit's Mausoleum
You can either hire a car which would be a better option or can alternatively board a bus as the frequency of buses is more either from Agra or Jaipur hence making the wait time less for the transports to arrive. And the distance from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri is hardly 40 kms hence taking about less than an hour's time to reach there.
The airport is under construction and hence is proposed to get over by March 2012 in the meanwhile there is accessibility for small planes for landing.
The city of Agra is well connected to rails and hence people can get down here and take a taxi or bus to reach Fatehpur Sikri. The journey is comfortable and hence there would be no problems in terms of reaching Agra by rail as Fathepur Sikri is not very far from Agra.
One can also reach this place from Agra in case if they want to visit that place as well and there are many convenient transport connecting to the road and it is just 40 kms from Agra and hence is better to hire a taxi or go in for the UPSRTC's that are very frequently running between Agra to Fatehpur Sikri and from Fatehpur Sikri to Agra.
Best Time to Visit :
If you want to enjoy every bit of your trip then the best time to visit this place is from November to February.
Tourist Places Near Salim Chisit's Mausoleum
Birbal's Palace
Among the important monuments of Fatehpur Sikri Birbal's palace is considered to be one among them. This was the place where Birbal used to reside. Built in the year 1571, this is considered as one among the imperial harem's beautiful buildings. With two entrances one on the Northwest and the other on the Southeast and has 4 rooms which are connected to each other very well. There are talks saying that it was Akbar who had built it but then there are other set of people who say that it was Birbal who got it constructed himself.
Pachisi Court
Pachisi Court or the Chaupar Court is said to be very close to Diwan-i-Aam and was built by Akbar the Mughal Emperor in the year 1572 till the year 1575. This had huge sand stones on either side with the courtyard in white and black color, where they used to play the board game called Pachisi court which is similar to chess.
Hiran Minar
Hiran Minar is situated in the open plains with 21.34 meters in height. The Hiran Minar also known as the Deer Tower got the name after the conversion of the polo ground which surrounds the tower to the deer sanctuary. Up to a height of 3,910 meters this tower has the shape of an octagon and after that it is circular in shape. Being built in the shape of an octagon this tower rests upon the square base wherein the lower platform which is square shape is 21.96 meters and 1.2 meters is the octagonal platform. This tower has six point stars and rows of hexagon in an alternate arrangement. The stone tusks are being used now and has replaced the ancient elephant tusks which were very prominent and used to protrude from each of the star's center. The elephant tusks of the ancient time which were pure were a symbol of novelty and grandeur of the Mughal Empire that ruled at that time.
Daftar Khana
Daftar Khana is located on the palace complex's south side and hence is built in typical Mughal architecture style and in shape it is rectangle with huge windows and it is said that Akbar used to be available to the public through this window everyday.

The Jama Masjid means Friday mosque and probably the first in the buildings to be constructed. The entrance to courtyard is huge and later aft 5years the Buland Darwaza got added. Built in the typical Indian mosque, the feature that distinguishes this from others is the rows of chhatri which is above the sanctuary with the seven bays having 3 mihrabs each and the central one covered by dome and white marble is used to decorate it.
Buland Darwaza
One can get access to the mosque Jama Masjid through the Buland Darwaza which is in Fatehpur Sikri. This is located on a hill and is very magnificent and built in a typical Mughal style of architecture which is built in red sand stone with white marble as well. This is in arch shape and is very prominent and marks a history. The meaning of Buland Darwaza is high door and is 176 feet in height from the ground & 134 steps above top step. The Buland Darwaza is very prominent and hence can be seen even from a very long distance due to its magnificent size. There are many calligraphic inscriptions taken from the Quran which is mentioned on the face of the chattris and pillars hence making it very catchy and impressive.
Tomb of Salim Chisti
This Tomb was built keeping on mind the faith symbol and even many years down the line this has been a mixture of faith and belief with sovereignty and power. This was built in memory of the great Salim Chisti who was a Sufi saint, and was built in the year 1571 and represented as the Mughal Empire's capital until 1585. Constructed with red sand stone earlier but now it has been modified and has been made up with marble entirely. The highlight of this Tomb is the jails or the lattice work which is beautifully done on the windows and another striking feature is that it reminds one of the pearls amidst the red stones that are used for this.
Ankh Micholi Treasury
Ankh Micholi Treasury is a must see as this beautiful Treasury was built in honor of Sheik Salim Chisti a great sufi saint and was the Mughals Royal Treasure during their leadership in Fatehpur Sikri.

1,900 pot plants seized, 17 people held in San Bernardino County
More than 1,900 pot plants were confiscated by authorities at several locations in San Bernardino County.
(San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department)
By Robert J. Lopez
More than 1,900 marijuana plants were seized and 17 people were arrested during law enforcement operations in San Bernardino County, authorities said Wednesday.
Investigators served six search warrants in Landers and Yucca Valley as part of the operations, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said.
Investigators also confiscated 110 pounds of processed marijuana.
At one site, 378 mature and budding plants up to 5 feet tall were growing on a 1.5-acre plot, authorities said. Three suspects were arrested.
"The amount of marijuana seized at this location was not consistent with personal use and suggests the suspects had no intention abiding to the state's medical marijuana laws," department authorities said in a statement.
The investigations are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call authorities at (909) 890-4840.

In 2003, at the encouragement of a friend, I sent a package of children's songs I'd written to a publisher for consideration. I thought it would be rejected within a few weeks. It wasn't. But it wasn't accepted either. So I waited and waited. Then I waited some more. Weeks turned into months, months turned into years without ever hearing a word and over the course of time, I forgot that I'd ever sent it.
Last fall I received an email from the editor of said publishing house. He'd been cleaning through his office and found the packet of songs I'd sent eleven years before. Let me say that again. Eleven years! They asked if they could contract me to write some children's music for them. I was stunned and amazed.
And here's the thing: eleven years ago I would have said I was ready for that songwriting assignment but in truth, I wasn't. My songwriting skills are much better now than they were then. I have a better understanding of the craft and much more experience.
We are often so eager to reach 'it', whatever 'it' is, that we grow frustrated, angry or even give up when God's time table doesn't match our own. We wallow in quiet desperation, thinking our dreams will never be fulfilled. Our faith shrinks and oscillates like a fan. We see what God is doing in someone else's life and grow envious. We compare our life and talent to theirs which, by the way, never leads to happy results. But God is not calling you to be someone else. He's calling you to be you.
God, and His will for our lives, is not constrained by time or resources. Indeed, He is actually the Giver of them.
Maybe you've been praying for your stubborn spouse to surrender something to God. Perhaps you've been on your knees asking God to help your wayward child. Perhaps you've cried hot tears over a broken relationship, chronic pain that makes daily living difficult or a dream you've laid at His feet. So you've waited. And waited. And prayed. And waited some more.
Take comfort, dear friend. God's ability is not correlated to the speed with which He moves. You are not forgotten. He is the God Who sees you and when it comes to His will, there are no fast passes allowed.


With both national and swing states polls showing Obama gaining ground in this tightly contested election, the McCain campaign has become increasingly negative. The economic woes of the country do not appear to be dissipating. For McCain this is worrisome as economics is not his strong suit and potential voters continually rank Obama better suited to deal with economy. In an attempt to change the national debate from the economy to Obama's perceived flaws the McCain campaign has ratcheted up the attacks.
Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin charged that Obama is "palling around with terrorists" and does not love America. Advertisements attempt to link Obama to former domestic terrorist now education professor Bill Ayers and hammer home his limited experience. These attack advertisements intend to scare voters away from Barack Obama. In addition there is an argument among campaign strategists that negative advertising disenfranchises voters. With democrats registering more new voters than republicans, perhaps the McCain camp hopes these attacks will reduce turnout on Election Day.
At the Republicans campaign events, it seems these attacks have had their desired effect as attendees profess their fear of an Obama presidency. It appears that linking the Democrat to a terrorist may be a game changer. For example at an event a woman explains that she is scared of Obama whom she believes is an Arab. McCain quickly takes the microphone from her and explains that no one should be frightened of Obama who he calls a decent family man and citizen. After spending so much money and time to scare voters away from the Democratic nominee, McCain is now defending him to his supporters.
Did John McCain rediscover his conscience? Will he retreat to the positive campaign he promised? Has he come to the conclusion that he needs to propose solutions and unite America in order to solve its problems? The answer to these questions is more than likely no, however, it is possible that McCain realised he had gone too far and is now trying to tone down his negative attacks. In the end it is unlikely that this type of campaigning will win this election when so many big issues such as the economy, terrorism, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are at stake.

Miguel Goyena fue un militar, abogado y político argentino, partícipe de la Guerra del Paraguay y de la Revolución del Parque, ministro de educación de la Nación e interventor de la provincia de Corrientes.

Biografía
Miguel Goyena nació en Buenos Aires, Argentina, el 31 de octubre de 1844, hijo de Pedro Regalado Goyena y Emilia del Río y Perdriel. Era hermano del doctor Pedro Goyena.

Efectuó sus primeros estudios en la ciudad de Buenos Aires y comenzó luego los de abogacía en el Departamento de Jurisprudencia, pero los interrumpió para alistarse en las tropas que marchaban a la guerra del Paraguay.
En el conflicto alcanzó el grado de sargento mayor y fue condecorado.

De regreso a Buenos Aires, retomó sus estudios y se graduó de abogado en la Universidad de Buenos Aires en 1872.

Se dedicó al ejercicio de su profesión, pero al igual que durante sus estudios en ocasiones volvió al servicio. En una de esas oportunidades actuó como ayudante del general Emilio Mitre en su campaña contra la rebelión jordanista en la provincia de Entre Ríos.

Acompañó a Félix Frías a la representación diplomática argentina en Chile y luego al Ministerio de Justicia e Instrucción Pública, convirtiéndose en su sucesor hacia fines de la presidencia de Nicolás Avellaneda.

Se retiró luego de la actividad política limitándose a la redacción de artículos periodísticos en que desde su militancia católica condenaba el escepticismo de la época.

En 1890 fue uno de los promotores de la Revolución del Parque y fue designado Ministro del Interior del "gobierno del Parque" presidido por el doctor Leandro N. Alem.

Fue diputado nacional y presidente de esa cámara legislativa, senador provincial, interventor nacional en la provincia de Corrientes en julio de 1880 durante los últimos episodios de los enfrentamientos entre liberales y autonomistas en la Argentina que cerrarían las guerras civiles en el país, vocal del Consejo Nacional de Educación, miembro de la Comisión Administradora de las obras del puerto del Riachuelo y jefe del Regimiento N°2 de Guardias Nacionales.

Eventualmente reincorporado al ejército, se retiró del mismo con el grado de coronel y se jubiló como auditor de guerra y marina.

En la ciudad de La Plata se desempeñó como intendente municipal. Fue elegido para el período 1893-1894 el 26 de diciembre de 1892, pero el 14 de septiembre de 1893 debió abandonar anticipadamente el cargo. En esa ciudad se desempeñó también como abogado del Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires.

Fue redactor de La América del Sur, diario fundado por Santiago Estrada, y de la Revista Argentina. Escribió también una Exposición de la cuestión chileno-argentina, de interés nacional.
Falleció en su quinta de Morón el 24 de octubre de 1920.

El diario mitrista La Nación lo describió en el centenario de su nacimiento como "una personalidad de acusado prestigio en mérito a la claridad de su inteligencia y la entereza de su virtud. No en vano toda su existencia estuvo condicionada a la voluntad de servir al país, sin reclamar de la obra de bien colectivo otra recompensa que la conciencia del deber cumplido. Su desinterés era proverbial, y también una forma de su espíritu religioso, y su concepción superior de la existencia, que lo alejó de las banderías mezquinas para encontrarlo siempre presto a afiliarse en las grandes causas".

one of the pleasing aspects of my hobby is that occasionally someone pays me money to do it. I have been asked a few times now to clear large greenhouses of nuisance birds. The latest of these was at Kibbutz Alumim in the western Negev, I removed 25 birds that they believed were damaging their peppers, mostly White Wagtails and Crested Larks, but also Bluethroats, Stonechat, Chiffchaffs and a Willow Warbler that must have been trapped there for a few months, i just hope the experience of being trapped for the winter didn't affect their ability to migrate.
Another way of earning extra money is through guiding both at my local ringing station and out and about, such as today's session in Park Eshkol and next week at Yerocham Lake. It's a really pleasing feeling showing birds to kids and adults and seeing the various emotions on their faces when they come face to face with an actual bird, I hope every one gets as much out of the experience as me and hopefully we may meet some of the kids in years to come out and about with binoculars or helping on a ringing station somewhere.

Our optometrists in Conroe, TX teach all our patients proper contact lens care and also possible consequences if proper care is not taken. Then we continue with long-term follow-up to monitor the condition of the lenses and to ensure that proper hygiene is being maintained.
