The gals started getting ready at the El Cordova Hotel.
Love the next two shots from Aaron Thompson who was there to help me out for the day.
Amanda's mom gave her a pair of beautiful droplet pearl Tiffany & Co. earrings. I'm not gonna lie, i definitely got teary-eyed.
I'm pretty sure i didn't have to instruct Phil on how to "pose" one single time… He's a natural!
And, soon after some portraits, the knot was tied!!
Another great shot by Aaron.
And, my favorite from the day- So Glamorous!!
We went to the Hotel Del Coronado for some quick portraits. I adore the vintage, romantic feel that the Del gives. Just Look at these two!
During their first dance, they sang to each other with a dance routine…pretty much the cutest first dance EVER!
So beautiful!! I look at these pics often, for I am getting married at the Coronado Community Center in October. Every thing is gorgeous! I do have a question–I am a bit obsessed with the wedding gown. Can anyone tell me who made that dress/where it's from? Thanks :).
omg i just linked back here. these are simply spectacular. i love the hotel del bench shot. good use of lines. love the portrait where they are both looking down.
Gorgeous photos! Love the ceremony shots!
Love the bubbles shot, the car shot and everything else!
Thank you Jackie for your kind words and beautiful photos! We had such a great time taking pictures with you.
Sooo great! These are awesome :) Loving the colors… fabulous!

*This is a transcript of a talk given on 2/18/07 at the Unitarian Church of Pittsfield, MA
The past few times I've been here I've spoken to you about some of the difficulties life brings us, and I've shared some of my own struggles with you.
One of the themes that these talks have shared is that there is often a gift to be found in difficulty, pain and loss.
The prayer that I'll be talking about this morning is one of the gifts I discovered during one of those times in my own life.
Had I not been going through a tough time I seriously doubt I would have been willing to try something like prayer. Especially a prayer by a Catholic saint!
But life is funny…sometimes "ha-ha" funny, and sometimes just plain ironic in what it brings to you…or what it brings you to!
The source for this suggestion was unlikely, my friend Pete. Not exactly a religious kind of guy. But he'd had a good deal of his own troubles, and these had led him to a spiritual awakening. And this prayer had played a part in it for him, so he recommended it to me.
As with so many things that have been good for me in my life, I resisted… at first. The idea of reading a formal prayer - any formal prayer-was not at the
top of my list of things I wanted to do. I don't know, maybe it was all those years of catholic schooling, but when it came to saying a prayer, my attitude was, "been there-done that-didn't work"
And because I'd gone to Catholic school I automatically assumed I knew this prayer. But then I thought to myself, what the hell, why not give it a shot. After all, what did I have to lose except a few minutes of my time?
So I got a copy and read it. Here's what it says:
Lord, make me a channel of thy peace;
that where there is hatred, I may bring love;
that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;
that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;
that where there is error, I may bring truth;
that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;
that where there is despair, I may bring hope;
that where there are shadows, I may bring light;
that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted;
to understand, than to be understood;
to love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
If I'd seen or heard this prayer before it had never registered with me. It was brand new as far as I was concerned.
Life's like that sometimes -we don't really hear something until it's time for us to hear it. Who knows? I may have been exposed to this prayer
a thousand times back in school. But if I was, it just never "clicked". As the saying goes, the teacher appears when the student is ready.
What I find absolutely remarkable is that this prayer manages to convey in 135 words a formula for living that will not only improve your life, but by making
an effort to live by the things it asks, you'll help make this world a better place. I consider this prayer a template for living.
Even if you have no desire whatsoever to live a spiritual life, it'll help you live a happier life. Why is that? Simple: What you put out - comes back to you! It's the law of cause and effect. And the "effect" generated by the things this prayer asks you to become, "affects" your life!
This message, "what we give -we get" transcends cultural barriers, and variations of it can be found in all religious texts-east & west.
Emerson said: "That which dominates our imaginations and thoughts will determineour lives, and character." I guarantee you that If you allow this prayer to seep into your consciousness, it will change you.
Now I called this morning's talk "A Radical's Prayer". I thought that might appeal to some of the radicals among you.
But that was only a secondary consideration. Because the truth is that Francis of Assisi was a radical; a true radical for the time he lived in. And were he here among us today, that label would still fit! He was a committed pacifist and peace activist, an environmentalist and an animal right's activist.
In 1219, in the midst of the Crusades, Francis and a few companions went on a pilgrimage of non-violence to Egypt.
His hope was to open up a dialogue between the Muslims and Christians. Sounds
like we could use Francis now, doesn't it? He did get to meet with one of their leaders, a Sultan named Melek-el-Kamel. But
when he returned to talk with the Christians they wanted to kill him-they believed he was a heretic and traitor.
The Sultan intervened and saved Francis by letting them know that Francis had tried to convert he and his men to Christianity.
Apparently, even if he'd not been impressed with Christianity, the Sultan had been impressed with Francis.
I learned a lot of things about him as I prepared this talk. I learned that in his earlier years he'd led a life of privilege and came from a rich family; his
father had been a successful and prominent businessman. Francis had been a guy who liked to enjoy himself- today we call it "partying" - he was known for his
drinking, gambling, and womanizing.
But then, as is so often the case in life, "something happened." He became seriously ill, and during that time he had a spiritual experience or awakening
of some kind. When he recovered, he turned his back on the wealth and the family business, and took a vow of poverty, dedicating his life to peace and
service to humanity.
He'd made a decision to follow another radical-perhaps the most "radical" radical of all time, Jesus.
By the way, Francis' father was not too keen about this idea, so he took him to their local church so the monsignor could talk some sense to him.
But Francis was not impressed. While his father and the monsignor looked on in disbelief, Francis removed his clothes-which to him represented wealth and
privilege. And he walked out of the church and away from his former life, starting his new life just as he had started his original life: buck naked.
I learned that he even wrote songs; songs whose lyrics sound amazingly Native American, maybe even Pantheistic.
In one of them, "The Canticle of the Sun"..... (spelled S-U-N ) he acknowledges the elements and nature as expressions of the Divine. He uses the words
"Brother Sun" and "Sister Moon", as he gives thanks for the beauty of the heavens and the gifts they give to the earth.
He also gives thanks for "Brother's Wind and Air, Clouds and Storms" for helping to sustain the animals and the earth.
"Sister Water, and "Brother Fire" are also thanked, and he ends this all by praising "Mother Earth" for nurturing her children.
I could imagine a Navajo or Lakota singing such words. But a 13th century European Christian from Italy? Hardly
The reason I selected this prayer for today's reading was because I wanted to give you all a chance to take it in-to listen with your heart-to
have a few minutes to quietly reflect on what it's saying-and what it may be saying to you.
This prayer is not only "food" for thought; it is "soul" food. Like many other prayers it opens with a request, but there it veers off the
usual path. This prayer is not asking to "get" anything. Instead it's asking that we who are praying it become a channel. And the first thing we're asking to channel is
What might this request do for your day? And then the prayer asks that we may bring the following into the world: Love,
Forgiveness, Harmony, Truth, Hope, Light, Joy…
In each case, whenever the opposites of any of these things are present, we're asking in this prayer that we may bring their spiritual remedy.
In the face of hatred, we ask that we may bring the power of love despite, or maybe even because, of this hatred.
In the face of judgment and retribution, we ask to be a presence for healing and forgiveness.
When we're surrounded by darkness-whether it be ignorance, vengeance, prejudice, fear-whatever it's source-
that in those times we may be the carriers of light.
In practically all of the world's spiritual texts light is a representation for a higher truth, awareness or consciousness.
To shed light on something often reveals the truth that has been hidden.
So, through this prayer, we're asking that when we're confronted with any kind of darkness, we don't add to that darkness.
Instead we bring the light of reason, compassion, love and hope.
In my opinion our world needs all the light it can get, so it needs as many channels as possible.
And then this wonderful prayer takes us further, into unfamiliar territory, as we ask a very unnatural thing:
That we may understand rather than be understood, comfort rather than be comforted,
and love rather than be Loved.
I call this unfamiliar territory because for every person the desire to be understood is so very important!!
Yet here, we are willing to put that aside as we attempt to do our best to understand another human being-even if they don't have a clue about us.
We ask anyway - even if we don't particularly like them. As a matter of fact, some of the people we like the least may actually be our
greatest Spiritual teachers. We acknowledge that it is more important that we do our best to understand then to have them understand us.
Jewish philosopher Martin Buber devoted much of his life to opening up dialogue and communication between adversaries because he believed that understanding
can turn an enemy into a friend.
Has anyone here seen the film ' Joyeaux Noel'? It's based on a true story that happened during the First World War when an unexpected Christmas truce occurred
between some of the troops. These men who'd only hours before had been shooting at one another began exchanging pictures of loved ones, sharing food, and
playing soccer. When this truce ended the men found they could no longer shootat one another and these units had to be disbanded and the men shipped to other
outfits. Some of the officers were Court martialed for fraternizing and giving comfort to the enemy.
Have you ever been with someone who is suffering some terrible heartache or grief? Or been with someone who has a serious disease-maybe even dying? In
this prayer we ask that we may be a source of comfort for those suffering. This might call us to step beyond our own comfort zone. After all, in the face
of suffering we are powerless. Or so we think. We worry that we don't know what to say or to do.
But in this prayer we ask that we may comfort. This prayer urges us to "show-up". All we have to do is show up and become willing to open our
hearts…and our ears. Sometimes listening is the most amazing source of comfort. We stop trying to say the "right thing".
Sometimes there is no "right thing" to say. After all, what do you say to a 43 year old who knows they're dying? Just be there- that's all. And believe me,
many times that is enough. Being present for another human being is a gift you are giving to them. Comfort rather than be comforted.
And this brings us to the request that we be willing to love, rather than to be loved. Again, this would seem to go against the grain for us. Being loved is so
important -we all want it. Now this prayer is not suggesting you enter into (or stay in) a crazy, co-dependently sick relationship; one where you constantly give your love to someone who only takes.
Sure, you may rationalize this, saying that you're really being "spiritual" because, after all, it's more important to "love than to be loved."
But you're not being spiritual- you're being used. And you're promoting and enabling an unhealthy relationship. No one wins in this kind of situation.
The truth is that Love must always, always, start within you - and it has to be for yourself before it can ever be available to anyone else.
We absolutely cannot give what we do not have. Period! So, to "love rather than be loved" speaks first to you: and then it will spread
out from you! And this is Love, not narcissism -don't mistake learning to love yourself with self-centeredness and self-indulgence.
Those actually represent a lack of love we feel for ourselves. That's why we try to fill our self with "stuff".
Much of our consumer driven economy counts on this. When we are in the presence of people who love, we can feel it. And we usually
feel good around them. They attract us to them, but it's the love that's doing the attracting.
The prayer ends with a statement, containing both a great spiritual truth and a promise: It is by self forgetting that we find, by forgiving that we are
forgiven, and that by dying we gain eternal life.
A few moments ago I said to you that what we put out, comes back to us.
Everything in this prayer is yours to give as well as yours to receive, because in truth giving and receiving are two sides of the same action.
The more you use this prayer, the more these qualities have an opportunity to become a part of you. This prayer can be like a compass for your life.
I will make to you the same recommendation that Pete made to me. Get a copy of this prayer and start your day with it-everyday. Read it slowly and out loud.
Let your subconscious mind hear your voice saying these things. Commit to doing it for a month. See what happens-what have you got to lose-a
few minutes a day? I think you may find it worth it.
The man who this prayer is named for was a radical, and the changes this prayer can bring to your life and our world is every bit as radical as he was…maybe
even more so.

is it possible to have 2 post pages on a site?
What I would like to do is, on my site I have links to home, news, reviews, ect ect could I link them buttons to post catagories?
Example: I have a catagory called reviews, can I add a button to the top menu that will show all review items?
can I add a button to the top menu that will show all review items?
No, but you can forgo the built in menu altogether and add whatever buttons you like to a Graphene action hook widget area.
I try and create a new menu button, say for example test, when i complete the instructions and check my site all menu buttons have vanished, not even the new one i created is there, when i delete the new custom menu everything comes back.
Do you mean that want actual buttons for your links, or are you just trying to add more links to a custom menu?
for example i have all my links on my header, home, news wallpaper, I would like to add another, for example "Daily starva" that is a category on my news page, i would like to add a link to the header that would take a user to that category.
Ok, now I am getting somewhere, using the custom menu i kinda have things working, but when i click on a link hat takes you to a "Catagory" i can see the posts in that "Catagory" but i also see above the posts "Category Archive:" can i get rid of this?

VW has decided to treat racing fans and release a true-to-life GTI TCR, a racing-inspired, track-ready version of the original hot-hatch that will the fastest version yet, reaching top speeds of 164 MPH – if you ditch the limiter, that is.
The Golf GTI TCR will be powered by a 2.0-liter engine, turning out a handsome 289 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque. With the limiter, top speed will reach 155 MPH, though we're not sure what good adding a limiter for 9 MPH does. Maybe VW should just get rid of it on all of them…VW has yet to share 0-60 speeds, but expect it to beat the regular GTI's o-62 of 5.2 seconds. All that power will be channeled into a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox with a locking differential. And that's just inside.
TCR stands for Tourist Class Racing, and this car looks ready to tear up the track – like the GTI was meant to do. And the best part is, it's not just a concept car; VW says it is "almost ready for production." As is often our lot here stateside, unfortunately, the TCR will only be launching in Europe, at least to begin. There will be a whole contingent of GTI fans awaiting it over here, should it ever make its way.


Have you seen the news? This shocking story in the Albuquerque Journal reported that a man posing as a licensed veterinarian committed unspeakable acts of cruelty against animals placed in his care. For more than twenty years, with absolutely no veterinary training, this imposter has illegally and irresponsibly performed procedures that put innocent animals' lives at risk.

When my children were young our family life revolved around their care, school work, and extracurricular activities. During that season of my life my husband and I had jobs, but our children were at the center of our planning. It was our childrearing season.
Once committed and in tune with your spiritual source you will attract into your life the many things, people and circumstances that will make your intention manifest.
When my husband and I were raising our children, their concerns and needs were at the center of our planning.
When we remodeled our kitchen, for example, I wanted a work island even though our kitchen wasn't quite big enough to give the preferred clearance according to the designer. But while he was just designing a meal preparation and eating center, I was also designing a homework and project center.
On week nights it was a wonderful spot for all four of the children to gather and complete their homework assignments and craft projects. On weekends it became the family cooking center. Sundays after church we'd experiment with new recipes that I found in the local and weekly newspapers. Each child helped do the chopping, grating, measuring and pouring. One of those recipes was such a hit with us that decades later it is still our favorite dish.
Your life,too, goes in seasons. It's important to throw your energy and efforts into the season in which you are currently living rather than fighting against it.
Resist the temptation to look back to a season that has passed or forward to one whose time has not come. Be fully in the season you are in.
Perhaps you are in your spring preparation season where you are attending college, trade school or completing an internship. Open yourself to all the benefits of this season to create a firm foundation for upcoming seasons where you will enjoy the full bloom of summer.
Or perhaps you are in a wintry transition season between the end of a job, a relationship or death of a loved one and the start of a new way of life for you. Examine what you need to remove from your environment and what you need to gather to expedite the growth. Be patient with yourself as you grieve the loss, and know that the new growth that is not yet visible is forming and preparing to emerge to a full harvest.
To curse the season you are in is not productive. It makes you feel stuck and resentful. The worse part is you miss the beauty of that season and its potential for happiness. Notice the season you are in and flow with it.
It is a good blog to share.


Notes rather than thoughts/links this week, if you don't mind. First up, a few meetings.
Bryan and I caught up with Ville Relander, the City of Helsinki's PM for their Food Culture Strategy. Many, many ideas spinning out of that one, as food culture is one of the most exciting and rapidly moving development areas in Finland. Equally, food is a way in to so many everyday systems: local culture, logistics, entrepreneurship, national identity, immigration, sustainability, service culture, retail, smart systems, production, industry, popular culture, urban planning, health, education, waste, the relationship between urban and rural; it's all in there. It's a key area for us, in terms of systemic change. We look forward to working with Ville on this.
Sitra also hosted a visit from Fundación Chile, one of the few organisations with a similar remit and position to ours. As part of the visit, Bryan and I met with Francoise Tirreau Glasinovic and Alejandro Tocigl.
It happened to be a rather beautiful autumn day, so we took Francoise and Alejandro for a walk around the harbour from Ruoholahti to Moko on Perämiehenkatu. Although there are key differences, the similarities between our organisations are manyfold. We talked for a couple of hours and we were probably only just getting going. Key areas of interest included different tactics for overcoming the tendency of project teams towards silos, or conversely towards proliferation of project ideas, and how to measure multiple forms of 'capital' from investments and projects, such as those suggested by concepts such as shared value. And so in turn, how to decide what to do in the first place! Many thanks to Francoise and Alejandro for dropping by and for the great conversation—we will continue the dialogue.
The strategy and budgeting process rolls on, and fills many of the gaps left between these conversations. We're knee-deep in it, but the end of the beginning is in the sight. It was good to hear that we (Sitra) had a very well-attended external stakeholder day recently, providing strong input from outside. Bryan and I will be working with our colleague Tuula to ensure all these conversations turn into useful tools for the organisation.
In between all that, it was a week of engagement through events. Marco was in Taipei for much of the week, at the 2011 International Design Alliance Congress, presenting Low2No and taking part in a panel on urbanism. Justin was at DMI Design Management Annual 36: Design at Scale, in New York (and good to hear from Justin that old friends Jake Barton and Nicola Twilley were on top form.) Bryan took off for Buenos Aires for the Centro Metropolitano de Diseño for various events, including giving a talk at the Design Festival, and general scouting. I was holding the fort in Helsinki all week, but will report back on last week's Tallinn conference shortly, and prep for next week's trip to Sigtuna for a Mistra gathering.
I did however give a talk at Nokia on Friday, to their design team (Marko Ahtisaari invited us, after we attended Joi Ito's talk a few weeks back.) Interesting times at Nokia, given the announcement of their new phones the day before. It remains to be seen whether this is a comeback, but there are always some smart cookies there, and the Lumia/Asha/flexible concept phone combo has already changed the conversation around the company. Thanks to Matt George for hosting, and organising a good crowd.
While out and about, no doubt preparing for Snowtober, Justin also snapped this pic of In Studio in situ at MIT Press, in Cambridge Mass, which means of course that you can buy it there. As reported last week, it's getting out there. Do keep your feedback coming in—it's invaluable learning for us.
At DMI NYC, Justin had given a quick welcome/overview to DMI Helsinki in 2012. On related matters, congratulations to Cape Town, winner of World Design Capital 2014.
Helsinki is next year's WDC, and as with the Finnish winter, we are beginning to sense its imminent arrival. Preparations and planning are beginning to transform into activity, and it will be fascinating to see what it feels like on the street. I remember being impressed with how Victoria's State of Design festival was so vividly present in the city of Melbourne, rather more than Sydney's Design, say (no fault of the very capable Sydney Design organisers by the way; just some key differences in levels of funding and particularities of urban fabric and culture.) It wasn't so much painting the town red as turning the city over to design for a couple of weeks. It's a challenge to sustain that for an entire year, but the programme for Helsinki WDC look to be nicely diverse at this point.
More to follow on Sitra's involvement with WDC Helsinki.
And following last week's links to reports from inside Occupy New York, this from inside Occupy London, by Madeleine Bunting in today's Guardian. From "architecture of consciousness" to "key symbolic public space".

Traditionally, most web agencies strategize the desktop version of a website first, and leave the mobile and tablet versions to be designed later. Even with the rise of responsive design, many designers are still working on the "full size" project first, then designing their way down.
There is a growing trend in the industry to flip this workflow around and prioritize mobile website design. Read on to find out why.
Building a website specifically for people on the go means designing your digital presence using a mobile-first approach. This implies creating the concept for the smallest screen first, then working our way up. Designing with the smallest screen first is a great strategy for creating outstanding responsive or adaptive campaigns, experiences and more.
The idea is that your mobile interface is the hardest working part of your website design and therefore your digital agency should focus on it first. Having to design a full-size website for a small screen means flushing all the information to the bare bone of what users are looking for. It boils down to your most important business message and your most essential web features- think of it as the heart of your UX.
As mobile resolution has limitations (screen size, bandwidth), it forces your digital agency to prioritize your content.
If your website looks great on a mobile device, you can tap into the deep stream of users "on the go" or those who just use the mobile device more than ever. As mobile phones are becoming the most used device for browsing online (half of the world's web traffic comes from mobile phones), more brands are realizing the importance of having a site that reads effectively on a smaller screen.
With Google's algorithm and stats pushing mobile dominance, having a good responsive design should be high on your priority list.
Best Buy: mobile Web users are doubling every year.
Looking at the numbers above, there is a definite shift from desktop users to mobile users. The reason: people surf the net on the go, on the bus, on the way to work, when they need to quickly check information.
Thinking mobile-first forces us to think about what's really important. All the marketing clutter is removed from the start, and instead of animations, we focus on displaying your content in the most rational way.
If there is a need for visually stunning web images, animations and "eye candy", these elements can be added to the desktop and tablet versions. But, to reiterate, you start conceptually with a very minimalistic strategy. This means creating a strong, versatile and purposeful content is of utmost importance. You have to know your audience in order to display what is most important to them.
Mobile users sometimes require different content than desktop users. Device-specific information can be analyzed according to your business proposition. For example, a smartphone view should reflect your most popular or newest items on sale, it should highlight your calls to action with a single tap of a finger, and it should also create different scenarios for your UX path.
Keep in mind that most of your mobile visitors pay only partial attention to their screen, hold the phone in one hand and scroll down with their thumb. Your website requires a focused design to incorporate this behavior.
The digital landscape is increasingly interactive. It includes a vast array of mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, specialized devices, eReaders, TVs, Internet of things, traditional digital devices, desktops, laptops, tablets…and who knows what else is around the corner? The questions is, how do we design a website or marketing campaign for all these different screen resolutions?
That's what makes mobile-first a great approach. Starting with the most compact design covers all bases. Then adding enhancements, design elements, animations, conditional script loading, media queries, and other components will optimize the experience for different device users.


Before leaving for the school I surveyed the tree once again. The guava tree was absolutely under my control and I never left home without counting the guavas on the tree. It was a ritual I performed with utmost care, planning which guavas to pluck when I got back home. That day when I surveyed the tree, I could not help spotting the largest of the lot. It looked tempting and deserved to have immediate attention. But I chose to tell myself that the food I had just taken needed to be digested properly and kept the one on the tree for a different purpose. Laxman who stood by my side seemed to urge me with an ardent look in his eyes to get the guava and share it with him. I could not look back at him with indignation to teach him the sense of restraint as I was not quite sure of what I felt like at that point of time. I was just ambivalent about the thing on the tree. My mouth watered at the sight of the fruit making an appeal to me like a forbidden one but my mind started ticking for something else. The result was that I left the place hurriedly with a heavy mind as it was already time for the school.
After the prayer was over, I began to feel uneasy. The more I thought about the lesson that the teacher had told us to prepare at home, the more I felt jittery. It was a terrible lesson which occupied the space of a couple of pages of the fattest of the books we had been bombarded with. I tried to use some of the resources at my disposal. I began to simper trying to make an eye contact with the class teacher to make her mellow. But it had no effect on her as she was busy with one of her colleagues, excitedly talking about the proposed raise in salaries by the government. She looked happy and I could not but wish she remained as much happier all the time. I spent several minutes in the class preparing the lesson and could make little progress. Then I began to think of the plan I had made. It was necessary as the teacher was very severe and had an uncanny knack for punishing her innocent students on the flimsiest of charges. All the students, including the most clamorous ones, were sitting with their eyes glued to their books ostensibly to avoid the punishment. The unnatural silence in the classroom was disturbing. But it could be discerned from the way they fidgeted in their seats and looked towards the door that they were not sure of how much they would be able to manage.
Sonu Halder, the only son of a rich rice merchant was trying hard to learn his lessons and was rocking back and forth, shouting everything from the grim pages of the book. The din he was making was enough to make one deaf but his voice grew fainter. The look on his face began to change. His pudgy face began to get contorted with pain as he seemed to realize that he was not going to make it. Suddenly with the best wishes of all the students fearing for the worst, he fell unconscious. This was a scene no one among us could overlook and fail to use, though we felt very concerned about the boy whom every teacher loved to refer to as the worst blockhead of the school. We raised a hue and cry, intentionally increasing the pitch to give it the seriousness of an accident. Some of the students began to cry and bedlam broke loose. All the teachers rushed into the room to inspect the cause of the noise. In a few minutes, the situation seemed to get out of control of the teachers. Sonu was scooped up by the teacher who taught us physical education and was given several splashes of water in an attempt to bring him back to his senses. A little later when he stirred and blinked open his eyes, he ran his eyes around looking for someone. Then when his eyes fell on the anxious face of the teacher who was supposed to make us recite the lessons, he began to sob. An intense enquiry by the headmistress revealed the cause of his anguish and the teacher in question got a plain chastisement for frightening her students with the burden of lessons. Assuring Sonu she declared unequivocally that there would be no test of the lesson that day. She also became a little more lenient and allowed us to go two periods before the school was to close. I was so excited on hearing the announcement that I had goose bumps all over. The very next thought was about the guava that I intended to give to the class teacher as a bribe so as not to be an easy target for her. Now with a mind free from fear, I looked forward to having a good afternoon feasting on the ripe fruit along with some more right from the tree. The question of sharing it did not occur to me immediately though.
Emerging from the school with the other students talking to our heart's content about the way Sonu fainted and things took a dramatic turn, we spent some time together splitting our sides. One of the boys proposed to name Sonu the student of the day. Another came up with the idea of playing the game of enacting a little drama, The Great Fall. After we all nodded and dispersed, I headed towards the tree to claim my share of the guava, tempting and alone. But I was intercepted by the eerie sight of Laxman sitting on the boundary wall of the neighbouring house, eating the great fruit with his pockets bulging with some more.

Q: SQL: search space seperated word in one column I have a column contains space seperated words:
|         tags           |
--------------------------
| python javascript java |

Now I'd like to select rows that have a certain word.
select * from table where ['java'in tags]
note that when I select with java, rows contain only javascript should not be selected, which means its has to be word level match.
thanks

A: You could use FIND_IN_SET to get the correct rows. Since it uses comma separators, you'll need to replace the spaces with commas to get the correct result;
SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('java', REPLACE(tags, ' ', ',')) > 0

An SQLfiddle to test with.
That said, a query using the table format you're displaying will not be able to use indexes and will be quite slow when the amount of data grows. You'll be much better off using a row per tag instead so that you can use a simple equals match. That way indexes will be used and you'll get quite a performance boost.
A quick sample of that.

A: i initially thought of using FIND_IN_SET, but simple LIKE should give what you are expecting.
select * from tableA where tags LIKE '%java%'

Arrangements have been made to ensure that the Turku shipyards of STX Finland will be able to deliver two ships ordered by the German TUI cruise line, Finland's Ministry of Employment and the Economy said on Friday.
The two cruise liners are slated for a 2014-2015 completion date.
The parties participating in the agreement are the State of Finland, German shipping company TUI Cruises and the Korean-owned STX Europe.
The Finnish government expects to put 31 million euros in subsidies toward construction, and 9.6 million has been used so far.
Finnvera, a state-owned financing company, pledged up to 292 million euros for the period that the ships are under construction.

Keep your Hands off the Judiciary!
In the Tiroler Tageszeitung of 17 May 2020 in the "Letter to Tyrol" our partner, lawyer Ivo Greiter, demanded the independence of public prosecutors from the Minister of Justice when it comes to bringing charges.
Brief an Tirol, TT 17. Mai 2020
Why the right of instruction urgently has to be restricted
The so-called "Council of Directives" (Weisungsrat) exists since 2015. The Minister of Justice has to submit a proposal to this council as to how exceptional cases will be handled, for example"with extraordinary public interest" or "with repeated and nationwide media coverage". But, in the end, it is again the Minister of Justice who decides whether charges can be brought or not. A clear possibility for politicians to influence the judiciary. It is clearly stated in §83 of our constitution: "No-one may be deprived of his right to due process." But this is exactly what happened in a number of cases: Udo P. (Lucona case), where the former minister prevented prosecution. The subsequent independent Minister of Justice finally had charges brought. Six murders were established by the court: life imprisonment for Udo P.
Cases have also repeatedly come to light in which no charges were brought, obviously because of instructions from above: 696 police officers repeatedly took handouts from around 50 heavy goods transport companies, the Bureau for Internal Affairs (BIA) claimed in a criminal complaint. The Federal Ministry of Justice closed the case as being a trivial matter: "The majority of officers only took small sums of money." But the hard core earned up to 1000 euros per month, 400,000 euros were apparantly paid in two years. According to an order by the Ministry of Justice, Governor H.'s Chief of Protocol did not have to appear in court for making false statements…
There is also repeated criticism by public prosecutors: The ministerial right of instruction is "a remnant of cabinet justice, where politics decided who and how someone is brought before a criminal court", said Brigitte Bierlein, at the time President of the Association of Austrian Public Prosecutors and later Chancellor (2019-2020). Bierlein repeated the public prosecutors' long-standing demand for the abolition of the right of instruction, saying that this power of the Minister of Justice had to be removed, as this was where political influence could be exerted.
My solution comes from Dr. Steininger, the President of the Supreme Court (1994-1998): It is that the Minister of Justice may no longer give instructions to stop charges being brought. He can only give instructions to bring charges against someone if the prosecutor is not active. It must not be the politically appointed Minister of Justice who ultimately decides whether someone is to be charged or not. In the justice programme of the current government 2020-2024, on the topic of criminal procedural law for an independent judiciary and the fight against corruption, the first point states: "The public prosecutor's office must be able to work free of influence". Perhaps our Minister of Justice Dr. Alma Zadić will – after decades of efforts – succeed in actually securing the independence of the Austrian criminal justice system from politics by restricting the right to issue directives .
The Innsbruck lawyer Ivo Greiter (law firm Greiter, Pegger, Kofler) has been calling for the right of instruction to be restricted since his first lecture at the "Judges' Week" in 1990.

Special Report: Colorado launches major new series of stream protections — @WaterEdCO

From Water Education Colorado (Jerd Smith):
In 1973, Colorado broke new legal ground by establishing water rights solely for the protection of streams, fish and wildlife. Prior to that, water could be diverted only for things like farming, manufacturing and residential water use.
When the state moved to establish these environmental water rights, it was one of the first states in the American West to do so.
This year it will dramatically expand that ground-breaking effort as three new laws, passed in 2020, take effect. One involves the use of temporary water loans, a second adds protection for ranchers who divert water for cattle in stream segments where special environmental flows have been designated, removing an important obstacle to establishing new environmental flows, and a third creates a new tool for environmental flows once only available to cities and farmers.
Zane Kessler, director of public affairs for the Glenwood Springs-based Colorado River Water Conservation District, said the changes represent an important evolution in protecting environmental flows while balancing the needs of Colorado's ranchers and cities with those of the environment.
"Good policy helps us evolve to meet changing needs and priorities over time," Kessler said.
How the new laws work
The expanded temporary loan program authorizes emergency loans and allows loans of water for five years in three separate 10-year periods. Previously those same loans could be used only for three years in a single 10-year period.
This provides relief for several regions, including the Yampa River Basin, where an instream flow loan had been used to its fullest extent under the old law, even though drought has continued to harm the Yampa River. The new longer-running loan program will provide critical flows to the river.
The stock water law, though it doesn't directly add water to streams, writes specific rancher protections into law, paving the way for more stream segments to be considered for the program.
And the third law, which advocates believe may have the most significant impact of the three, allows something known as an augmentation plan to incorporate environmental flows to help protect streams.
Advocates, such as the Colorado Water Trust, a nonprofit that spearheaded the new approach, say the tools can be used as templates across other river basins, where older water rights are already spoken for.
"In the long run, this could be more impactful," said Kate Ryan, an attorney for the Colorado Water Trust.
Across Colorado nearly 40,000 miles of streams flow year-round and, as a result, have the potential to receive protection under the state's Instream Flow Program. To date, the state has been able to establish environmental flows on nearly one-quarter of these, according to the Colorado Water Conservation Board, which manages the program. The CWCB is the only entity legally allowed to hold these environmental water rights in Colorado.
Who gets to choose
Anyone can go to the CWCB and ask that it protect a certain stream segment, but whether it's a member of the public, the U.S. Forest Service, or The Nature Conservancy, the entity must be able to show that there is enough water in the stream to support a new water right. They must also show that, by decreeing an instream flow on that segment, the stream's existing conditions will be preserved or, where possible, improved.
To accomplish this, extensive engineering and measurements must be conducted. Once an instream flow case has been researched and documented, the state must go to a special water court to have the right legally established. The court must also hear any challenges that other water rights holders on the stream segment may raise if they fear their own water rights could be harmed. The process often takes several years to complete.
Linda Bassi oversees the Instream Flow Program for the CWCB.
"It's difficult because there are a lot of competing interests for water," Bassi said. "On some streams, if the state wants to obtain a water right to protect flows there are a lot of other entities with water rights that may feel threatened. Or there are other entities that might have plans to develop a water right on that same segment who are made uneasy by the fact that we are coming in to establish one [an instream flow water right]."
In Colorado, water rights follow what's known as the Prior Appropriation Doctrine, or "first in time, first in right."
That means that a water right claimed in, say, 1894 will get its water before one claimed in 1905 during periods of drought, when there isn't enough water for everyone who has a right to water in a given stream.
A late start
Because the state environmental program was established 100 years after water users had claimed much of the water in the states' rivers, the water rights the state has managed to claim are very young, or junior to other more senior rights. That means that in drought years, when they are needed the most, these rights frequently go unfulfilled.
As a result, the state has changed its laws to allow older, senior water rights to be loaned or donated to the state. When it has enough money, the state can actually purchase older water rights that are more likely to receive water during dry years.
When proponents of the 2020 expansion went to lawmakers in 2019 to seek support for the new laws, they faced significant opposition from agricultural interests and cities. It took months of negotiations to craft the bills that finally won near unanimous bipartisan support at the Colorado State Capitol in 2020.

Getting to "yes"
The Colorado River District represents 15 Western Slope counties, many of which are heavily dependent on ranching. Historically any efforts to add new water rights for protecting streams have been viewed with deep skepticism.
This time was no different, Kessler said, but rural lawmakers were able to add enough protections into the new laws that the district's board ultimately came out in support of the expansions.
One important measure gives the state engineer, Colorado's top water regulator, the authority to oversee ranchers' rights to their so-called stock water.
"During the winter months, ranchers with an irrigation water right [tied to] the summer season will often pull small amounts of water from the stream to keep their animals alive," Kessler said. "With that [protection] in hand, we became a lot more malleable about how we approached the Instream Flow Program."
A third part of the expansion, allowing the use of augmentation plans to restore environmental flows, could be among the most important part of the expansion effort, according to Ryan.
Farmers and cities have long used augmentation plans to repay the river when they divert out of turn. Now under the new law, this same tool can be used to help streams.
On the Front Range, for instance, the first environmental augmentation plan is getting ready to launch, with the cities of Fort Collins, Thornton and Greeley offering up water they own and already store under an existing augmentation plan. These "seed" flows will be added above various stretches on the Poudre River that dry up every year. As the new water flows downstream, it will restore habitat for fish and wildlife, and eventually travel down to a segment of the river that these cities are presently legally required to restore.
And though most environmental water deals require individual trips to water court, an expensive, time-consuming process, the new law allows existing augmentation plans to be used, which means proper quantities, times of diversion, and water right dates are already in place.
"There are those who believe that prior appropriation as it is practiced in Colorado is too rigid," said Sean Chambers, Greeley's water resources manager. "But I think this is an example of how we can use existing statues, tools and programs to meet the needs of municipalities, irrigators, agricultural interests, and the ecological and recreational needs of the river. And it's a template that can be used in other [river] basins."
How many more miles of streams could still be protected under the Instream Flow Program isn't clear, according to Bassi, because the state's priorities and its ability to buy water rights change.
But every year there are victories.
For decades, fish experts believed that a certain line of endangered cutthroat trout known as the San Juan lineage cutthroat had been extinct. But then they discovered them in a remote part of the San Juan River Basin and, last year, the CWCB was able to establish an instream flow on a critical stream segment there, helping ensure the endangered fish will survive.
"Priorities change, whether it's [water for] a gold medal fishery, which helps the recreation industry, or to protect a declining species. We don't have a set quota. We're just trying to help these organizations achieve their goals through our program," Bassi said.

Earnings season will have a starring role in the week that lies ahead.
The new trading week kicks off with a pair of Chinese speedsters. Digital-television smart card maker China Digital TV (NYSE: STV) and leading travel portal Ctrip.com (Nasdaq: CTRP) report their quarterly financials. Both companies are expected to post modest growth for the period.
Home Depot (NYSE: HD) knocks on wood come Tuesday. The home-improvement superstore chain is hoping to pull out some cash from its orange apron, a day after its largest rival reports.
As home prices continue to tumble, more homes become worth less than their mortgages. Why are consumers enhancing homes when it would make sense to walk away? Beyond the obvious credit hit involved in a foreclosure, I guess Dorothy was right all along: There's no place like home.
Investors looking for something sexier than sawdust and ceiling fans can turn to Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL). Analysts see the solar-energy player's profit rising 65% in its latest quarter.
Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) is one of the many retailers reporting next week. When your fiscal years end in January to make sure you get all of the holiday shopping and returns in, mid-May is going to be busy with fiscal first-quarter results.
ArubaNetworks (Nasdaq: ARUN) checks in on Thursday. Analysts see the networking specialist earning $0.15 a share, a head of the $0.08 it posted a year earlier.
The trading week closes out with Camelot Information Systems (NYSE: CIS) sharing its financials. The Chinese provider of enterprise-software solutions is expected to post marginally improved profitability.

Gardens Tour
An official 2 hour guided visit.
A great way to see the large and varied Vatican Gardens in an audio-accompanied tour.
Afterwards, explore the rest of the Vatican at your own speed.
"This was an outstanding tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a great deal about the history of the Vatican as we viewed the monuments and various area in the gardens. This tour was the perfect extension to a tour of the Vatican buildings and St. Peter's."
JG, United States.
"An excellent tour and well worth the two hour tour. Afterwards you can visit the museums, Sistine chapel and the basilica at your own leisure. We spent the whole day at the Vatican and enjoyed the experience. Worth purchasing tour tickets beforehand to miss the massive queues and all the hassle of guides."
GM, Great Britain.
A guided tour of the extensive Vatican gardens. Starting early morning (Monday to Saturday), subsequent entry into the rest of the Vatican is included in the cost.
This is an official, Vatican-organised tour that in approximately two hours takes in much of the gardens and parklands that form more than half of the entire Vatican territory, covering almost 50 acres (20 hectares). The gardens became established during Baroque and Renaissance times, with legend having it that the Vatican gardens were spread with earth brought from Golgotha by Saint Helena.
The gardens include 3 hectares of woodland, splendid flower beds and topiary, lawns, a labrynth, specimen trees, grottoes and fountains and a range of buildings scattered throughout, from medieval fortifications to the modern-day home of Radio Vatican.
Once the guided tour of the gardens is over you are free to remain inside the Vatican complex and continue your individual explorations, should you so desire - in other words, entrance to the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and St Peters is covered by the garden tour ticket.
Tours are available 6 days a week (not on Sundays) in English and Italian. They start at either 09.00 or 10.00 in the morning (possibly 10.30 in winter). However, availability is very patchy, and so as not to waste your or our time, and given the slight difference, we will attempt fit you in whenever we're able to - please let us know during checkout if you must have a specific time.
GS, United States
The tour was very nice. The guide gave us good explanations and was knowledgeable and personable.
We enjoined our 2 hour tour of the Vatican gardens and very happy that we avoided a big queue. Our guide Rimonda was absolutely amazing. Thanks tickitaly.com.
23rd Feb 2018
The guide spoke excellent English and gave us an insider's viewpoint.
ET, United Kingdom (Great Britain)
Excellent and informative visit. Guide was generous with her time and happy to answer lots of questions.
JG, United States
FR, United States
Great staff, friendly and full of knowledge.
This tours lasts approximately two hours. You are then free to explore the rest of the Vatican independently.
The audio is available in English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese.
The date and time of your visit cannot be modified so please be sure to arrive on time - it's recommended that you're there at least 20 minutes before start time.
Please remember that as you'll be visiting a religious place that you'll need to dress respectfully - to not do so risks being denied entrance.
You must arrive promptly at the time specified on your voucher
You must maintain a distance of over 1 metre from other visitors and avoid gatherings
Groups of up to 20 people (plus guide) are permitted. The guide will be responsible for making sure the group obeys the social distancing and other rules
Groups of more than 10 must make use of officially-provided group-tour/whisper systems which are available at dedicated stations in the Vatican museums.

9"I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I carry you captivec among the nations, into the countries which you have not known. 10I will make many peoples appalled at you, and their kings shall shudder because of you, when I brandish my sword before them; they shall tremble every moment, every one for his own life, on the day of your downfall. 11For thus says the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you. 12I will cause your multitude to fall by the swords of mighty ones, all of them most terrible among the nations.
and all its multitude shall perish.
16This is a lamentation which shall be chanted; the daughters of the nations shall chant it; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they chant it, says the Lord God."

22"Assyria is there, and all her company, their graves round about her, all of them slain, fallen by the sword; 23whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the Pit, and her company is round about her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who spread terror in the land of the living.
24"Elam is there, and all her multitude about her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into the nether world, who spread terror in the land of the living, and they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit. 25They have made her a bed among the slain with all her multitude, their graves round about her, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for terror of them was spread in the land of the living, and they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit; they are placed among the slain.
26"Meshech and Tubal are there, and all their multitude, their graves round about them, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they spread terror in the land of the living. 27And they do not lie with the fallen mighty men of oldg who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were laid under their heads, and whose shieldsh are upon their bones; for the terror of the mighty men was in the land of the living. 28So you shall be broken and lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword.
29"Edom is there, her kings and all her princes, who for all their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword; they lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the Pit.

7 LGBTQ+ Stars We Want to See Host the 2022 Oscars
By Mey Rude
Give us a gay host!
The Oscars are, once again, going to have a host!
For the first time since Jimmy Kimmel hosted for the second year in a row in 2017, the Academy Awards will have a host, and we've got our own ideas of who that should be. In fact, we've got some pretty queer ideas.
The last time a queer person hosted the prestigious awards was in 2015 when Neil Patrick Harris became the first out gay man to host. Ellen DeGeneres had hosted the previous year and also hosted back in 2007.
So with that in mind, here are seven other LGBTQ+ hosts we'd absolutely love to see up on the Oscar stage this year!
1. Billy Porter
He's always the most fashionable person at award shows, so why not give him a chance to show off his outfits from the big stage? Also with his MCing experience from playing Pray Tell on Pose, we know he's got the range.
2. Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper
How fun would it be to see these two besties hosting the Oscars? If they can host New Year's Eve together, they can certainly host the Oscars. Plus, add in a little booze and see things get really fun.
3. Wanda Sykes
Not only is she one of the funniest comedians of her generation, but Wanda Sykes is also one of the most likable celebrities of all time. After some questionable choices like Seth McFarlane, James Franco, and even Kimmel, in the last decade, the Oscars could use someone as lovable, and hilarious, as Sykes.
4. Billy Eichner
Billy Eichner always exudes stage presence, and he certainly knows how to command attention. Plus, hosting the Oscars would be perfect for his transition from TV star to movie star, plus it would give him a chance to promote his upcoming gay rom-com Bros.
5. Bowen Yang
We all know he looks great in a suit, and he's one of the funniest people alive, so why not give hosting duties to SNL's Bowen Yang? We'd love to see what he'd do with the stage.
6. Laverne Cox
Why not just jump directly from her new job as the host of E!'s Live from the Red Carpet to host of the Oscars? We'd love to see this iconic actress on stage in a ball gown guiding us through the night of awards and appearances. Please, Oscars, give us a queer host!
7. Aubrey Plaza
Plaza has experience hosting award shows, having MCed the Independent Spirit Awards in 2019 and 2020. Plus, she's a celeb who looks great in both dresses and suits, so we'd love to see what kind of wardrobe changes she'd bring.

Cook Jenny's here to share with you some of her lemon chicken cooking tips! Mind you don't let this chance slip through your fingers, put your apron on and step into her kitchen! Here, first you'll embark on an "ingredients spotting adventure"! The first one that you'll need to look after is the mixing bowl. Then, you need to figure out where exactly, in her kitchen cupboard, she's placed her cornstarch. Once you find the ingredients that she indicates to you, once you will have placed them on the on-screen kitchen counter, go on and and do the mixing "hocus pocus"! Also, keep in mind to use the suggested measuring spoons to make sure you're using the right quantity! If you play cooking games on a daily basis, if you adore cooking in real-life, as well, you'll no doubt enjoy therole of chef Jenny's apprentice and this cooking show of hers that you'll be attending!
