Q: Integrate Git Support Branch to master I have the following scenario in my job and I can't think a way of handling it so I would like to ask for some help.

*

*We are following the git flow for the Core features of the product

*We have multiple lines of releases that all are created as branches from master. What I mean is that for every client we get a version of the Core product (at the moment we start) and extend it to the clients needs.

*At some points we want to integrate all the changes that have happened from the Core Product.

*We do that by merging the changes from master to every branch.

What I want to ask is the following case:

*

*We want to integrate from a previous version of the master. Let's say 1.3 while the master is in 1.5.

*We find a bug in that tagged version.

Now we can fix it in the client branch and complete the integration, and add that fix to the current master (1.5) and be over with it.
However it would be very helpful to "inject" this fix into the 1.3 version of the master. This way anyone else trying to integrate this version would already have the fix.
Now from my point of view this thought kind of objects with the hole concept of numbering forward the version control but I think it would really help in some cases so I wanted to ask if anyone handles it somehow or if there is a git process for that, that I have missed.
I have seen the Git flow for Support Branches and Hotfixes but these branches don't cover my case.

A:
However it would be very helpful to "inject" this fix into the 1.3 version of the master. This way anyone else trying to integrate this version would already have the fix.

For that, you need to:

*

*create a branch master1.3, starting from the tag 1.3 done on master, in which you apply that fix;

*rebase your 1.3 release branches (one per client) on top of the new master1.3 branch.

The OP suggests:

I would like to rebase somehow (not exactly rebase because I really don't know what might happen) the master pipeline.
  So that from now every other dev that wants to integrate the 1.3, 1.4 and every following until the 1.5 to get it from master.

That would imply inserting the fix after the 1.3 commit, and applying the rest (1.4, 1.5): that is possible with a rebase interactive (git rebase -i), but way too problematic, as it would change the history of a common branch, used by everybody.
Hence my "1.3 hotfix" branch approach.
The other option is certainly to "add that fix to the current master (1.5) and be over with it.": I would not recommend messing with the commit history of master.

A: For your situation, I suggest you merged the client branch which had bug fixed into master branch (not the old version like 1.3) and rebase other client branches on the top of latest master branch.
Let's illustrate why "inject" the fix from the client branch to an older version of master branch is not suggest.
Assume the commit history of the git repo as below. Client1~4 are the client branches created from master branch, and commit A is for version 1.3, commit C is for version 1.5 on master branch. And there has bug fixed on client1 branch.
          F---G client2         J---K client4
         /                     /
…---P---A-----------------B---C  master
         \                 \
          D---E client1     H---I client3

If you inject the fix in commit A (change the history commit on master branch), then it will cause the rebased master divided from the original master branch. The commands to inject fix into commit A and rebase master branch as below:
git checkout -b temp <commit P>
git merge client --squash
git rebase --onto temp <commit A> master
git branch -D temp

Then the commit history will be (the client branches which created from the original master branch are not on the rebased master branch now, and the existing client branches actually not contain the bug fixed changes):
          F---G client2         J---K client4
         /                     /
…---P---A-----------------B---C
     \   \                 \
      \   D---E client1     H---I client3
       \
        A'---B'---C'  master

The correct way should merge client1 branch into master branch, and then rebasing other existing client branches on the top of master branch. Detail steps as below:
1.   Merge client1 branch into master branch
Execute below commands to merge client1 into master branch:
git checkout master
git merge client1
git push origin master

Then the commit history will be (M is the merge commit):
          F---G client2         J---K client4
         /                     /
…---P---A-----------------B---C---------------M  master
         \                 \                 /
          \                 H---I client3   /
           \                               /
            ----------------------D-------E client1

2.   Rebasing other existing client branches on the top of the master branch
To rebase other client branch on the top of the master branch, just need to execute git pull origin master --rebase on the client branches separately:
# rebase client2 branch
git checkout client2
git pull origin master --rebase
# rebase client3 branch
git checkout client3
git pull origin master --rebase
# rebase client4 branch
git checkout client4
git pull origin master --rebase

Then the commit history will be:
                        J'---K' client4
                       /
                      F'---G' client2
                     /
…---P---A---B---C---M  master
         \         / \
          D-------E   H'---I' client3

Now all the existing client branches contains the changes for bug fixed. And if new client branches are created, they will also contain the changes for the bug fixed.

Hi, I have mendelson AS2 connector v1.1 build 53 and we have problem with auto resend AS2 messages that received failed MDN from our remote partner. I didn't find a function for auto resend this messages.
Currently I select the transactions in the user interface, press the right mouse button and select "resend as new transaction" in the context menu but this manual method.
Is there a automatically way to resend the AS2 message with failed MDN by a single function?
[Nov 28, 2018 2:07:29 PM] messadge_id: Inbound MDN state is [processed/Error: integrity-check-failed].
[Nov 28, 2018 2:07:29 PM] messadge_id: Inbound MDN details received from remote_as2: "[ReceiveFile - our_as2.remote_as2] Error: Unable to write incoming file: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\RSSBus\RSSBus Apps\data\as2connector\profiles\our_as2.remote_as2\Incoming\filename.xml' because it is being used by another process.
at RSSBus.As2Ops.ReceiveFile.Receive(RSBContext ctx, rc selfInfo, As2Info partnerInfo, LicenseInfo licenseInfo, rV localSettings, String incomingDir)"
in our understanding using an auto resend mechanism makes no sense - this mechanism is more a missunderstanding of how automatic transmissions work. On the TPs side there is a software, too. If something did not work the first time there will be no reason that it works the second time! Or the third.. How long would you like to retry? 10 times? 100 times?
If your partner sent an MDN to you it is expected that his backend system has received a message that the transaction failed and some mechanism for failed inbound message may have started. What should be the way to reverse this by modifying a transaction state? And how long should this be possible to resend? Perhaps a day, a week?
Another problem: if your partner receives a second transaction with the same transaction id, what should be the mechanism to ensure that this is a resend? Perhaps it's no resend but a new transaction, just a problem with the transaction id generator on your side? And what should be the mechanism to ensure that the resend retries ended and the transaction could be finally closed on his side?
As you can see: automatic resend of failed transactions with the same transaction id makes no sense and will result in message loss in the worst case. That is nothing we would like to implement.
*Send a signal from the AS2 system to your ERP system that the transaction failed - this could be done in the partner events.

Hutterite Immigration
The Hutterites are an extreme Anabaptist sect started by Jakob Hutter in Moravia, located in the present-day Czech Republic. Like other Anabaptist sects, Hutterites believe in baptizing adults rather than children, that daily life is linked to religious convictions, and that a communal lifestyle is ordained by God. According to Hutterite belief, the turmoil and problems that exist outside the Hutterite colony are caused by people's rebelliousness and sins. As a result, Hutterites live a simple, agricultural life, avoiding such temptations as dancing, playing cards, and liquor.
In the Hutterite colony, the preacher commands the most respect. Under him are the men of the colony who make decisions democratically. In the social hierarchy, women are inferior to men, children are subordinate to their parents, and elders receive more respect than young people.
After fleeing religious persecution in the rest of Europe, the Hutterites came to Russia at the invitation of Catherine the Great. In 1872, the tsar took back the promise that the Hutterites could abstain from military service. To avoid persecution, the Hutterites came to the United States and settled in South Dakota. At this time, the Hutterites also broke into three groups.
When, in 1917, the United States entered World War I, every able-bodied man was expected to enlist in the army. Because of their pacifist beliefs, however, the Hutterites could not do this. Some of them were forcefully made to enlist while others were imprisoned. As many Hutterites as possible immigrated to Alberta.
Once in Alberta, the Hutterites continued to suffer persecution, especially at the hands of war veterans who considered them to be Germans because they spoke German. The three Hutterite groups formed individual colonies in Alberta. Hutterites often tended to have large families of in excess of nine children. As a result, between 1918 and 1922, fourteen new Hutterite colonies were established, many of them off-shoot daughter colonies.
During the Great Depression, Albertans began to look favourably upon the Hutterites whose hard work and austere lifestyle meant that they did not suffer as severely as many of their neighbours. Their time as accepted Albertans, however, did not last long. When, in 1939, Canada again went to war against Germany, Hutterites were the victims of serious persecution. They attracted attention to themselves by speaking German, refusing to fight, and living in concentrated colonies. As grain prices went up, the Hutterites began to buy more land around their colonies. Despite their contributions to the Red Cross and other war relief efforts, Hutterites were thought to be taking advantage of the war to increase their personal profits and were therefore the brunt of many Albertans' resentment. As a result, the Land Sales Protection Act was passed in 1942, preventing Hutterites, Doukhobors, and other enemy aliens from buying land during the war.
Because it mentioned "enemy aliens", the Land Sales Protection Act was considered unconstitutional and repealed in 1942. After the war, many people, with the exception of the Hutterites, began moving to urban centres. Albertans felt the rural areas would soon be controlled by Hutterites. As a result, in 1947, a new law, the Communal Property Act, was passed. It was the first provincial law to discriminate against a particular ethnic or religious group: under this act, Hutterite colonies could not be larger than they were in 1944 nor could they exceed 6,400 acres. Colonies also had to be forty miles apart.
Because of the high Hutterite birth rate, these land restrictions caused serious problems. Hutterites began forming colonies all over Alberta and, by the 1970s, there was a colony as far north as Peace River. Many of these new colonies were located in regions unsuited to grain farming, and the Hutterites began diversifying into cattle, hog, and honey farming. In 1959, the Communal Property Act was reassessed. The forty-mile restriction was removed and Hutterites could purchase more land on the agreement of the region. If Hutterites wanted to buy land, public hearings were held; unfortunately, however, these hearings ended up as places at which to vent anti-Hutterite sentiments. The Hutterites felt the law was unconstitutional and took it to the Supreme Court of Canada. Although the Supreme Court upheld the law as legal, it did agree that it was discriminatory. It was not until 1972, however, that the Communal Property Act was repealed.
In the 1940s, the Hutterites decided to allow the use of tractors, combines, trucks, and other farm equipment. They also began improving their houses with the addition of indoor plumbing, electricity, stoves, and refrigerators — improvements intended to make life easier.
Today, the Hutterites are being forced into more contact with the outside world. They depend on outside markets to sell their produce and use lawyers and chartered accountants to help them with their business transactions. Although some Hutterites leave the colony, many return after finding themselves unprepared and uneducated for life outside. As a result, most Hutterites are staying on the land and not following the general migration to the cities. Although they are required to send their children to a public school offering English instruction, Hutterites work hard to maintain their children's traditional education. The public schools are located in the colony, and children have German instruction before and after their public school classes. Children are also strongly discouraged from mimicking the lifestyle of the public school teacher. The Hutterites' distinctive clothing further helps cement their group identity and keep them isolated from others.
The Hutterites have contributed greatly to agriculture in Alberta. In 1971, they produced three percent of all farming revenue using two percent of the land. As of the 2001 census, Alberta's Hutterite population of 13,715 was the largest of all Canadian provinces.
As part of the CKUA's "Heritage Trails" radio series, host Cheryl Croucher discusses the Hutterites' immigration to North America. (Running Time: 2:57 minutes)

Where can I find Guaifenex PSE 600 120?
It is wonderful for clearing up chest congestion in colds. Mucinex is NOT the answer. Isn't there some where to obtain Guaifenex? Or maybe Entex? I can't believe that a good medication like Guaifenex is no longer available. ## Hello, Robbia! How are you? Products containing Pseudoephedrine are now kept behind the pharmacy counter. You don't need a prescription to buy them, but you will have to sign for your purchase and show valid ID. Is there anything else I can help with?
white, oval tablet scored in middle, ETHEX on one side, 208 on other side ## This is a cold remedy that's available by prescription and over the counter, it contains 600mgs of Guaifenesin and 120mgs of Pseudoephedrine. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, nervousness and dry mouth. You can learn more Guaifenesin details here and you can learn more Pseudoephedrine details here. Are there any questions or comments? Is there anything I can help with?
sustained release with no yellow dyes ## This would be 600mgs of Guaifenesin with 60mgs of Pseudoephedrine, commonly used to treat cold symptoms. Are you looking for this product? From what I am finding, there are some prescription options available that are completely dye free, but they are not a combination tablet.
oval,white,ETHEX,208 ## This is an decongestant, used to treat colds. ## I was prescribed this pill along with Nasonex to help symptoms of congestion and sinus pressure with a heavy cold. My doctor told me it contains 'prescription strength Sudafed' (I assume that means it contains Pseudoephedrine HCl, but I don't know how much), plus an expectorant, that it should be safe to take while nursing but it may reduce milk supply temporarily - supplies should return normal after stopping the pills. I took one, and it did help the congestion, but no more than regular Sudafed (most Sudafed formulations contain 30mg Pseudoephedrine HCl).
to clear mucous and congestion ## Please see the page Drugs/Guaifenex_PSE.asp for more information about this drug. Thank You.

Manolo's Internet Friends
The Aged Roast
Manolo says, the Manolo's friend Erik discusses the aging of meat at home at the Manolo's Food Blog.
This bit of aging made a wonderful roast. Very tender, with a mellow but full beef flavor. Tasting this you realize that the regular roasts have a much more watery flavor at the same degree of doneness.
And now, you must go read the whole thing
Celebrity, Whose Shoes Wednesday
Whose Shoes Wednesday…The Answer!
Manolo asked, whose shoes?
Manolo answers, it is the Kate Middleton!
Congratulations to the Manolo's internet friend, the Klee, who was the first to correctly identify the winner of the Sloane Ranger Sweepstakes!
And, yes, as the Manolo's internet friend the Long Island has noted, the Kate needs to diversify her shoe collection. It is filled with nothing but black and the occasional beige.
Whose Shoes Wednesday
Manolo asks, whose shoes?
Sandals, Stuart Weitzman
Shoes for the New Year's Eve: Tryst from Stuart Weitzman
Manolo says, the Eve of the New Year's, it approaches! And you will undoubtedly need the beautiful shoes in which to trip the fantastic light, shoes that are sparkly and festive, such as the Tryst from Stuart Weitzman.
Cinema, What the Manolo Is...
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…
Just before the Christmas, the Manolo had the pleasure of accompanying some young friends to the new Disney Rapunzel movie, Tangled. He is happy to report that he found both the outing and the movie to be delightful.
Two things about this movie were exceptionally gratifying to the Manolo. The first is that the screenplay was unburdened by the endlessly annoying and out-of-the-place pop cultural references and adult-oriented jokes so common in most children's movies today. In the other words, there was none of the tiresome Shrek Dreck, those catty references to assorted pop divas and their many problems.
The second gratifying thing, was that the actors in Tangled were chosen for the expressive quality of their voices, not for their fame and/or stunning good looks. Yes, the Mandy Moore and the Zachary Levi, the leads, are moderately well known, but they are not the big, big stars, and this is the good thing.
The recent trend in the animated movies has been to use the muy famosos to provide the voices for the cartoon characters, thus reducing the sort of work that has customarily gone to the character actors.
This is bad. Not only because the Manolo counts among his Hollywood friends many, many character actors, but also because such actors are usually superior in talent to their more beautiful, and more famous co-workers.
Consider, now, two movies:
Bargains, Boots, La Canadienne
Karisse from La Canadienne For the Blizzard of the Century
Manolo says, outside it is 206 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), and the snow is piled fifteen feets deep on the sidewalks, drifting to twenty-seven feets in the places.
But you have to go out to the Duane Reed because you need the milk, the toilet paper, the cat food, and maybe some smoky taupe eye-liner, because you have just read something at one of the beauty blogs, and you only have the smoky bisque color on the hand.
But you are in the quandary, because your flimsy, unlined rain boots, in the pinkish color, will not keep your feets warm. And the only other suitable feetwear are the fugly moon-boots you brought with you from Wisconsin, and you need to look your best, because you have heard that many of the major banks are closed because of the blizzard, and you suspect that there will be the hunky young investment bankers on the streets, having the spirited snowball fights. (This is Manhattan, yes?)
If only you had bought something practical and stylish, something like these Karisse boots from La Canadienne.
These are the sort of toasty-warm, weatherproof, feminine boots that, paired with the right smoky taupe eye treatment could win the heart of even the most jaded wunderkind.
Ayyyy! And look! They are on the sale! More than $115 of the American dollars off of the usual price!
Snow in Central Park, December 27, 2010
Manolo says, perhaps now would be the good time to re-read one of the Manolo's favorite books, Winter's Tale by the Mark Helprin…
"Winter then in its early and clear stages, was a purifying engine that ran unhindered over city and country, alerting the stars to sparkle violently and shower their silver light into the arms of bare upreaching trees. It was a mad and beautiful thing that scoured raw the souls of animals and man, driving them before it until they loved to run. And what it did to Northern forests can hardly be described, considering that it iced the branches of the sycamores on Chrystie Street and swept them back and forth until they rang like ranks of bells."
Manolo Blahnik, Pumps/Court Shoes
Manolo Blahnik Clausado D'Orsay Pumps For the Monday
Manolo says, it is Monday, and you are NOT back at your desk, NOT slaving away for the man.
You were supposed to be back in the office this morning, as surely as the sun rises in the Easterly direction, doing your bit to increase the bottom line of MarScro International, the privately held company with interests in the manufacturing, importation and marketing of such diverse products as the lead-based Chinese toys, powdered Sudanese baby formula, and Liberian-made cellphones.
You were supposed to be back at the work, but on Christmas Day, shortly after nine in the morning, you received the strangest phone call from the CEO, Mr. S., himself, the eccentric billionaire famous in the financial press for driving the 1962 Nash Rambler (which he purchased new), and for chasing business reporters away from his decrepit three-bedroom home with the walking stick.
It was the strangest call, because the perpetually sour, old Mr. S. sounded giddy, perhaps even drunk, shouting "Merry Christmas", and weepily thanking you for being such the faithful employee. And then he gave you the week off, followed by the big raise.
At that point, you became certain that the phone call was some lame practical joke, that this was not really the CEO, but rather some co-worker playing the cruel trick upon you.
"No, no, my dear lady. I assure you it is I."
"But, sir, it may sound like you, but…but…."
"But, it is not my usual behavior? Not my custom to give raises to valued employees?"
"Yes, sir. Not your usual behavior."
"Well, let us just say that I am a changed man, that from this day forth, I shall know how to keep Christmas well."
And then he asked about your son.
"And how is little Tom?"
"He's fine, sir."
"Is he? The last I saw of the boy he was in a leg brace, so pathetic."
"No, sir, he's fine now. He's a sophomore at Johns Hopkins, on a lacrosse scholarship."
And then you remember that Tommy had come into the office the few years ago, on crutches, right after he had hyperextended his knee in the scrimmage against the varsity team.
When you finally hung up, "Merry Christmas!" and headed back into the family room to finish the opening of the presents, you were still not sure it had really been him.
But this morning, while you were sitting in the kitchen, drinking the coffee and debating whether or not you should get dressed and go into the office, the doorbell rang.
You pulled your housecoat tight around you, and went to the door, where you discovered the courier standing on the front step. He said your name. You signed the receipt. And then he handed you the thirty-five pound turkey, together with the envelope containing the fancy Christmas card and the substantial, year-end bonus check, with the words "Merry Christmas!" scrawled in the spidery script on the subject line.
And now, you are sitting at your computer thinking about getting some new shoes…
Something like these Maestro Manolo Blahnik Clausado D'Orsay Pumps in this rich blue color…. You have certainly earned them.

Manolo says, if you were wondering what became of Virginia…
Virginia O'Hanlon as an adult embraced the recognition and modest fame that came with her part in inspiring "Is There A Santa Claus?" (She once said in jest that she was "anonymous from January to November.")
The editorial, she told an interviewer in 1959, when she was 67, "gave me a special place in life I didn't deserve. It also made me try to live up to the philosophy of the editorial and to try to make glad the heart of childhood."
She occasionally read the editorial at Christmas programs, as she did in 1933 and 1937 at Hunter College, her alma mater. Virginia earned a bachelor's degree there in 1910 and a master's degree two years later at Columbia University.
She was a teacher in the New York City schools, and became a principal at a school for handicapped children after earning a doctorate from Fordham University in 1935.
At her retirement in 1959, the New York Times observed that Virginia was "one of those rare persons whose given name alone has instant meaning for millions."
There is yet more at the New York Times, including this charming picture of the young Virginia…
Manolo says,
The Manolo wishes you the most super fantastic of holidays, warm and happy, with friends and family, good food and wonderful gifts!

First photos of Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana leave The Crown fans disappointed
New photos of Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana in Season Five of The Crown have been met with major criticism
(Image credit: (Photo by Mike Marsland/Mike Marsland/WireImage))
By Emma Dooney published 6 August 21
The first photos of Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana in Season Five of The Crown have finally been released—and fans of the show aren't happy.
The first photos of Elizabeth Debicki in costume on The Crown Season Five have led to widespread disappointment amongst fans of the royal series.
The Australian actress will replace Emma Corrin as Princess Diana for the fifth and sixth seasons of the hit Netflix series.
In other royal news, Princess Diana never remarried for this heartbreaking reason.
The first photos of Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana in The Crown Season Five are finally here, nearly one year after the Australian actress was confirmed to replace Emma Corrin in the highly-anticipated return of the hit Netflix show.
The Great Gatsby star was spotted on set at Ardverikie Estate in Scotland—a dupe for the Queen's country retreat, Balmoral Castle—walking alongside two young actors who appear to be playing Prince William and Prince Harry.
Dressed in a navy blazer, pink shirt, pale blue jeans, and boots, Elizabeth looked every inch the '90s Diana we all know and love. Her on-screen sons, whose real names are not yet known, were wearing matching striped rugby shirts and jeans.
The photos have caused quite the stir online, with fans of The Crown eager to see if the French-born actress can live up to Emma Corrin's Emmy-nominated portrayal of the late princess.
The news of Elizabeth's addition to the cast was initially welcomed by viewers, many of whom were familiar with her previous roles in the films Widows (2018) and Tenet (2020). However, the first photos of the new Diana led to widespread disappointment, as many fans struggled to make out their poor quality. While the costumes were clear, the facial details of the characters were significantly compromised by the pixelation of the images.
we are so not counting this as the first look of elizabeth debicki as diana because we can count the pixels 😭 https://t.co/So2l9recUNAugust 5, 2021
we need hq photos these photos are so blurry i cant tell if william is the kid or the bald guy pic.twitter.com/hfmBz7P60aAugust 5, 2021
Not all fans were disheartened by the grainy photos though. Having waited nearly twelve months for a glimpse of Elizabeth as Diana, some were just grateful to finally see an authentic picture.

Elizabeth will be joined by a host of other new actors on the fifth and sixth seasons of The Crown, including Imelda Staunton as the Queen and Jonathon Pryce as Prince Philip. Having already watched every episode of the series, it looks like the Melbourne actress will have no problem getting into character for the iconic role.
"Princess Diana's spirit, her words and her actions live in the hearts of so many," Elizabeth said in a statement. "It is my true privilege and honor to be joining this masterful series, which has had me absolutely hooked from episode one."

Burnt River grapples with flooding as Ford slashes funding
Published on April 22, 2019 in Environment	by Roderick Benns
Flooding in the Burnt River and Fenelon Falls area continues, as sandbags are filled for resident pickup at the Burnt River Works Yard. Meanwhile, the PC government under Premier Doug Ford has slashed flood funding by 50 per cent to the conservation authorities that do this work. While the Burnt River area is not under Kawartha Conservation's purview, the Fenelon Falls area is.
The Gull and Black rivers are at very high levels due to snowmelt and heavy precipitation. Water levels are being managed as best as possible but flooding is likely to occur in areas prone to flooding along these rivers.
Conservation Ontario, which oversee the province's 36 conservation authorities, has already noted in a press release that it's the smaller and more rural areas that will be most affected.
The conservation authorities forecast flooding and issue warnings, as well as monitor stream flow, and regulate development activities in the flood plains. The authority also helps to educate the public about flooding and protect the natural cover that can mitigate the impacts of flooding.
Under current watershed conditions all local rivers, streams, and lakes should be considered extremely dangerous. Riverbanks and shorelines will be slippery and unsafe, and may be undercut.
Kawartha Conservation is warning all residents to stay away from water bodies, as well as water structures such as bridges, culverts, and dams. Children should be warned of dangerous conditions and caregivers should maintain a close watch on children who are outside.
Sandbags:
It is property owner's responsibility to secure sand bags to protect their property. Self-serve sand and bags are available at three locations:
Burnt River Works Yard (filled sandbags available)
Dalton Community Centre (13 Rumohr Drive, Sebright)
Intersection of Chisholm Trail and Brooks Lane near Black River
All residents should stay a safe distance from all water bodies, as well as water structures such as bridges, culverts and dams. Shorelines and banks are saturated and may be slippery and undercut. Children should be warned of dangerous conditions and caregivers should maintain a close watch on children who are outside.
Road closures due to flooding:
Burnt River road coming in off the north end at 121
Pinery Road closed from Winchester to Burnt River Road
Part of Concession Road 9
Shuttleworth Road
Crooked Court
3rd Road Somerville
9th Concession Burnt River is closed from County Road 121 to #59
Monck Road 45 is closed from Kinmount Road 121 Norland to Hwy 35 due to culvert failure

Happy Canada Day, my imperfect country
The City provides sand bags, not Conservation. Also I am fairly certain Kawartha Conservation does not have any involvement on the Burnt River.
Flooding occurred when Conservation Authority had full funding under the liberal government. It just doesn't happen because of the PC government ….it happens because of water mismanagement by the Conservation Authority
Brenda Walton says:
has Laurie Scott been to Burnt River to see the damage and offer help? Doug Ford has been to Bracebridge and offered provincial support.
Bri Peterson says:
Such one sided Liberal crap. Real news is impartial and unbiased.
Rick James says:
So… the PCs did cut funding to to Conservation Authorities for their flood control work by 50%, and the CAs are the main agencies that manage flood control issues for watersheds. What part of that is Liberal crap?
I got an idea… why pay all these firemen to just sit around all day? Let's let half of them go – I mean, how likely is it that a fire will happen anyway?
Tricia Playfoot says:
Okay, so many wanna whine and complain about Ford being blamed for floods …. cuts to municipalities (which is the main source to conservation programs) plus the direct cut to conservation programs surrounding flooding is Ford's fault, the water will always come and go, but the timing of the cut is what he is under fire for …. remember the big snow storms where the army was deployed to Toronto to dig people out … no not really? There were no cuts around that area so I guess that could slip people's minds but not 2 years ago in 2017 there were flooding issues and why was it not a huge thing that everyone would remember …. cause there were no cuts to the essential programs which were in place to do something about it, now 2 weeks (hereabouts) since Ford made this cut the flooding is back, and the funding is not the cause of the flood but it will be the cause of future floods cause the conservation programs will not be able to collect and compile as much data and set in place new methods to try and alleviate the areas from this occurring again, that is part of the Flooding program which it seems to few understand when they accept these cuts and defend them.
Who makes the call to make sand bags? It was a couple days to late for the people in Burnt River. Water was almost at its peak before there were any available. It seems like Minden Hills and coby got sand bags going ahead of the flood.
Ford is not responsible for this flood. However he has cut the budget to the conservation authority by 50% and he is doing everything in his power to sabotage any attempts made by other governments to combat climate change. He is not offering his plan or an alternative. He said he would help out Bracebridge because his family cottage is nearby. He even hired a helicopter at taxpayer expense to survey his area. With all of his reckless cuts including cancelling tree planting initiatives, reducing forest fire funding among many and the real and prevalent danger of climate change, we are in for a whole lot of misery. We need strong leadership who listens to the people they are working for. In the meantime, thanks to all who have volunteered their time to help out their neighbours. Let's all pray that this will not be an annual event.

Pancreatic islet fibrosis with varying degrees of islet cell hyperplasia or islet effacement was diagnosed histologically in 19 rock hyraxes (Procavia capensis) from seven zoological parks. Some, but not all, affected hyraxes were from a common lineage. The condition was associated with apparent hyperglycemia in seven and diabetes mellitus in two. Immunohistochemistry revealed hyperplasia of beta, alpha, and delta cells proportional to the degree of the fibrosis. Electron microscopy revealed collagen deposition and fibroplasia within and around the islets. Special stains and electron microscopy were negative for the presence of amyloid. Beta cell depletion was never identified. The condition has morphologic features that resemble islet fibrosis of human infants born to diabetic mothers.


The Zombie rehabilitated rum, and was a punch in the face of thse who had wanted prohibition to last. As part of the TIki craze, with its giant restaurant complexes looking like cartoonized Polynesian villages, with 3 story tall statues and rickshaw ramps , the Zombie was a crazily complicated cocktail, with secret ingredients, helping to maintain it's exotic, almost alien, allure in what was already a fairly wild and unreal landscape.
But like all things Tiki, it was a mishmash of prior decidedly non-Polynesian ideas reblended. While much of Tiki's food was renamed variants on Cantonese cuisine, morphed into fine dining, most TIki cocktails also were drawn from decidedly non-Polynesian origins. Don the Beachcomber originally adapted his early cocktails from Caribbean styles of drinking, starting with adapting the traditional Planter's Punch, but adding precisely measured ice and a blender, and created what was one of the first supposed Tiki cocktails. The tradition of proportions being 1:2:3:4:5 for Planters Punch suffered a bit in this, but this recipe ended up having dimensions added. Not just 1 strong spirit, but 2 or 3 different rums to be that "3 parts strong".
And with this, Don the Beachcomber was perhaps the first to regularly mix rums, to get added depth and character to his drinks. Light bright notes of a Cuban, dark spicy notes of a Barbados, all together creating something new. Other than rum, few other spirits are ever combined, still. Do you often see two whisked or two gins in one cocktail?
The depth and exotic character of his "rum rhapsody", cocktails, not to mention the octane, made them incredibly popular. The flavors were brand new to the West Coast. While the early inspirations for these could have been found by East Coast people traveling to Cuba during Prohibition, on the west, the Prohibition destination was Mexico, and they didn't make such cocktails there.
But Don's crowning achievement was the Zombie. The recipe was kept secret and never fully shared, since he had problems with bartenders realizing that they could make better money at competitors and copycats in other cities. This secrecy gave him the upper hand, then, but his reluctance to share any recipes is why his name has not been treated as well by history as Trader Vic who did share.
So with this secrecy comes the desire to find the truth, and over many years, that's what Beachbum Barry has been slowly zeroing in upon. There are known and published recipes purporting to be *The* Zombie recipe from 1956, 1950, even as far back as 1934. The encoded and sometimes inscrutable annotations such as "Munrelaf", "Markeza", "Syrup Parisienne", and just a string of numbers like #2, #3, #4, etc., made for an interesting quest. Obviously "Munrelaf" was Falernum. But "Markeza"?
After years of research and dead ends and of course Barry publishing what was the wrong recipe, Jennifer Santiago handed over her father's recipes from his Beachcomber days. It was still partly in code. Don's Mix was still unknown, except a further cryptic note which referred to Don's drops #4, which led to a search for Astra Flavors, now defunct, and finding bartenders who had also used that flavoring back in the day.
To recreate the aged Jamaican "Lounds London Dock Rum", mix a roughly 5:1 ratio of Appleton and either Smith & Cross or Plantation Weatherford.
The Puerto Rican rum described was actually dark, not just a gold, and was only really made under the Ron Rico red label. Closest available these days would be Ron de Barrilito Three Star.

Q: Apache using old PHP version When I execute phpInfo.php  script on my Linux (fedora)
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

It gives PHP Version 5.5
Whereas when I reach it using my Apache server (via browser) it gives me old PHP 5.3 version.
Found that Apache is using some library (LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so) - found it in php.conf.
Can anyone help how to change version Apache is using?
Or is there another way to force Apache to use another version of PHP?
Thank you in advance.

A: First, I'm not that familiar with package management on Fedora, so perhaps someone else can check the commands I've listed below.
On Debian, there are (at least) two different PHP packages:
php5-cgi - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (CGI binary)
php5-cli - command-line interpreter for the php5 scripting language

When you run your script from the command line, you're executing the second one of these. When you run your script via Apache, you're executing the first.
I've never known these to get out of sync - I've always seen both with the same version - but it doesn't sound like something impossible. I can imagine that if I really wanted to, I could figure out how to install different versions of both.
From my (limited) knowledge of package management on Fedora, I'd start by trying to update both packages to the latest version:
yum update php5-cgi
yum update php5-cli

Again, these may be named differently in the Fedora repositories, so you'll need to research that a little.

Show-plates or picture-dishes, with figured scenes filling the entire field, are part of a tradition that goes back to the 1st century A.D. See, for example, the so-called Aquileia patera in Vienna, pl. 44A in Strong, Greek and Roman Gold and Silver Plate. The type gained in popularity in the 2nd and 3rd centuries and its production continued into the Byzantine period. As Oliver informs (Silver for the Gods: 800 Years of Greek and Roman Silver, pp. 148-149), examples of ancient silver that survive from the 2nd and 3rd centuries are far rarer than that which was preserved in the 1st century by Vesuvius. Although late 3rd century silver has been found in organized burials as protection from encroaching barbarians in parts of central Europe.
The vocabulary of the inscription on this bowl helps to date it to the 3rd century. The noun \Kproskunhth\ks (worshipper) is not classical and is primarily known through Christian sources, including the Gospel of John (4:23). The word is used regularly by early Christian authors. In the late 2nd-early 3rd century, Clement of Alexandria (Protrepticus 52, 1: 96, 4; 97, 3) uses the word to describe pagan "worshippers of stones" in contrast to "worshippers of the good (i.e. Christians)."
The distinctly practical pagan nature of the subject matter indicates that this must be a work created before the 4th century. Although several pagan subjects are illustrated on silver and other wares from the Late Antique and Byzantine periods, all or most illustrate paideia, or the ancient vocabulary, rather than contemporary pagan practice as evinced here. For an analysis of 4th-5th century "pagan revival" silver in its context as paideia of tradition, pagan lore, and secularization of myth, see p. 141ff. in Leader-Newby, Silver and Society in Late Antiquity.

A red velvet cupcake at a holiday party, a sliver of cherry pie on your birthday, a bowl of java nut crunch ice cream on a steamy summer day: These are some of life's sweetest treats.
But for many (most?) of us, sugar isn't just an occasional pleasure. It has become an overwhelming temptation we feel powerless to resist. We don't occasionally indulge in special-occasion sweets; we're mainlining sugar.
Figure out your "need." When you drive past Krispy Kreme on the way to work every morning, do the donuts scream your name? Mentally scroll through your day and identify when you are most susceptible to sugar's siren call. Ask yourself why you "need" sugar in those moments. Is it because you're hungry when you race out of your front door, and the red light signaling fresh donuts is too tempting to resist? Learn healthier alternatives you can use to meet your need. Perhaps eating a healthy breakfast should be on your menu so you can speed right past the donut hole.
Eat a protein-packed breakfast. Studies show protein in the morning makes it difficult for sugar cravings to take hold later. Opt for lean protein options such as eggs, Greek yogurt, peanut butter and low-fat cheese. These produce less of the hunger-stimulating hormone ghrelin and more PPY, a hormone that signals fullness. As long as you eat your breakfast by 10 a.m., you should be able to tamp down that late-afternoon sugar craving.
Don't skip meals. Meal skipping, which lowers blood sugar levels, causing you to overeat the rest of the day, is a guaranteed way to stoke sugar craving fires. Eat five times a day—three meals and two snacks—to keep hunger at bay and your blood sugar levels steady.
Stay hydrated. If you're feenin' for sugar something awful, grab a glass of water. Dehydration can make sugar cravings spike. Institute of Medicine guidelines recommend that women get 91 ounces of water a day and men 125 ounces daily, but not all of that water has to come from the faucet. Stick to the 80/20 rule: At least 80 percent of your water intake should come from water and beverages and the other 20 percent can come from food. So include lots of fruits and veggies in your diet.
Sleep. Key to stopping sugar cravings in their tracks is balancing the hormones ghrelin (an appetite trigger) and leptin (which signals satiety). When these hormones work in harmony, you experience fewer cravings. But if you get less than the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night, you throw off that hormonal balance. One study found that just a few sleepless nights were enough to drop levels of leptin by 18 percent and boost levels of ghrelin by about 30 percent, causing cravings for sugary foods to rise 45 percent. Lack of sleep not only makes sugary foods more appealing, it may also lower your ability to resist them. The parts of your brain responsible for reining in cravings aren't as active when you're tired.
Boost flavor. There's a vast array of flavors out there that you may be missing out on if you always reach for sugar. Experiment with herbs and spices, and add other flavor boosters like balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, hot sauce, and lemon and orange zest. Use cinnamon in your pancake mix or sprinkle paprika on air-popped popcorn. Be bold!
Crank up movement. Get your body moving to help fight off strong sugar cravings. Moderate exercise also helps keep muscle cells sensitive to insulin. Strength training builds stronger muscles, which burns more glucose. Any physical activity will help get sugar off your mind.
Take supplements. Are you taking a daily multivitamin? Good! Several studies suggest that multivitamins containing vitamin D and calcium may lower cravings. Though popping vitamin tablets won't replace a healthy diet, this extra nutrition "insurance" can't hurt.
Manage the real problem. The connection between emotional comfort and sweets is primal. Were you rewarded with sweets as a child? You may still treat yourself to dessert when you meet a goal. To disconnect the emotional link between emotions and food, become aware of the feelings that drive you to crave sweets. Ask–as you reach for those jelly beans in the doctor's office—"Why am I reaching for this?" Then say to yourself: "Stop. Slow down. Think." That will give you space to figure out whether you really want the sweet or whether you are just feeding your emotions.

So I like it!!!!!!!!
surfrod [7/18/2006 12:36:10 AM EST]
Okay, this site is very cool. I like this song, needs a cool maybe trumpet sound for the main hook (think Why cant I be you by Cure) and of course shorter with shorter fade. Its a very workable song and with good marketing, they could be a one hit wonder. I can also see some freaky Pink Flamingo dance...so get to it...summer is almost over!
aaronlife [7/13/2006 11:42:45 PM EST]
good, like smash mouth, but i found it too repetitive/too long. like i really liked it, but there were two many verses before the bridge, and for the bridge i'd change the vocal filter/effect... yeah, there's a gem there, just needs to be edited before it gets boring. no insult intended.
Backwater [6/28/2006 12:56:50 PM EST]
wow, this is cool. maybe we're just in a goofy mood, but this song has the power to heal you.

qualcomm [6/12/2006 12:32:28 AM EST]
i'm not sure it's exactly a gimmick song, by which i take it you mean a novelty song? it's definitely walking a fine line, though. somewhere between the presidents of the united states of america and the offspring in terms of gimmickosity/noveltude.
psyfer [6/11/2006 10:34:40 PM EST]
I can't stand gimmick songs. Boring riffs.
Really tight playing, so I have to give it a couple stars.
I thought the first half of the bridge was the best part.
If I was in the producer chair:
I would cut the 'main riff' down to a quirky intro/outro and maybe quote it at the end of the bridge (first half only, which I would make the chorus). The unison hits would be the verse in my version. Which would of course go platinum.
markfrimmel [6/11/2006 5:12:24 PM EST]
I like it. It's trendy, catchy, rhythmic. Only obvious thing....a little long. But great stuff! Keep up the good work.

I cannot believe how cool this site is... The quality of critic is fantastic... Even when someone has something to say that is not positive about a song, they are Intellectual about it... I am AMAZED.. We, as a band, had all but given up on music sites. This is amazing.. We are so looking forward to hear the feedback on our other songs, if we are selected to appear again. The feedback really HELPS us. we get to really see what people thing and tool our craft with some objective opinions... THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP!!!!
Rocketeer [6/11/2006 3:24:10 PM EST]
This song is shwanky. It's a party song... subtly reminds me of the Femmes. Best song out of the songs posted in my humblest of opinions nice to hear something that actually sounds original.
BluDog [6/11/2006 1:47:17 PM EST]
I dug this song and would love to hear more from them. Have to agree with the majority here about it dragging along a bit though.
i'll check into that player issue with our technical fella, maltice.
maltice [6/11/2006 11:18:58 AM EST]
I liked this song a lot. Great site btw, my wife (hehe) checks it religiously everyday. Song has a nice vibe to it, something I would see in a John Waters film, and if it was in a John Waters film, the elvis bit would work perfectly. This is the first song up that I actually ewant to hear other work they have done. Oh, and I hate that if I navigate to another page, it stops playing... and I always forget to open a new window to alleviate the situation.
BrownBunny [6/11/2006 10:54:59 AM EST]
I liked the elvis bit.
SirenEast [6/11/2006 2:00:04 AM EST]
I'm basically incapable of reviewing a song without thinking of what scene in a movie I'd like to use it in. That just me?
qualcomm [6/10/2006 1:43:56 PM EST]
hey, musictalk -- thanks for posting. y'oughta vote, too.
musictalk [6/10/2006 1:37:57 PM EST]
KILLER WEBSITE IDEA.... hey Posters, where does anyone see this song fitting in? I read the wacky movie idea from qualcomm.. i see that... Think something like this can make it on the radio? I think my thoughts are in-line with everyone else here... Elvis has to go.."Sorry Buyer"..;), too long, but over-all fun...
Will H. Disney [6/10/2006 10:42:31 AM EST]
And yes Ruben, we appreciate the music talk.
Will H. Disney [6/10/2006 9:58:21 AM EST]
hey qualcomm i hate you
qualcomm [6/10/2006 3:22:23 AM EST]
also, this song reminds me of the type of thing the lovin' spoonful plays in 'what's up tiger lily' or the type of song that would be on the soundtrack of a peter sellers '60s wacky comedy (except for 'what's new pussycat') or that 'stuck in the middle' song that mr. blonde listens to while cutting off a cop's ear. happy go lucky, but with some sense of menace lodged in there.
fu, disney.
don't take disney's comments too much to heart, remus. we could use some inside baseball type comments to go along with all the layman #@&%! here, and anyway, nothing you've said is so inside as to be obnoxious.
Cobainsaxsolo [6/10/2006 3:07:46 AM EST]
Why is it that anal traditions are always rich?
TheBuyer [6/10/2006 1:33:50 AM EST]
Next person that says 'elvis' is getting choked out.
I dig this one. One of the tightest that has been on the site. Yeah, the Elvis part doesn't do it for me, but I dig the general vibe, and I think the distortion works.
sickmachine [6/10/2006 1:16:49 AM EST]
The production needs work. The vocals are ok, the guitar is ok, but the drums sound like either a generic drum machine, or that you're hitting a box. They're too dry, they need a bit of reverb that seems to be missing.
ruben remus [6/10/2006 1:12:08 AM EST]
I've got to agree, I've been impressed with the way everyone's been putting their best foot forward in their comments. I think this is a great idea for a site- we've just got to get some people in the mix! I've been telling my music-listening friends about it, to be sure.
And to the band: thanks for reading and at least thinking about what everyone's saying and not getting bent out of shape just because everyone's not handing out 5 stars. Very "stand up" of you.
Sorry 'bout that. I really am trying to avoid using too much "musician" lingo and approach it more as just a huge fan of all sorts of styles of music (which I am, and which I assume everyone else posting here is) and as a music critic (which I guess we're all becoming, writing on this site), both to get my thoughts across to you guys and to give the artist constructive and completely honest feedback about what they're doing, because I think this forum serves both purposes. So I'm trying to find accessible ways to state things without "watering it down" too much, 'cause I think everyone here is intelligent, but I do understand what you're saying, Disney, and I'll take it to heart. For this song, for me, some of its success or failure really does hinge on some of those small details- I guess I'm picking it apart more because I think it's closer to the goal than the last couple of tunes, and I'd like to see 'em take it there.
Birthday Suit [6/10/2006 12:59:22 AM EST]
I must admit two things. One; I have been very impressed with the quality of the comments. No pricks or just idiots making mindless statements... And two; since we are looking for feedback, I think we really need to look at the "Elvis" part...;) This is a brillant site... FINALLY a site worth reading and being involved in....
TheBuyer [6/10/2006 12:50:02 AM EST]
i look forward to these remusings all day
Ruben, I don't quite understand all the "music" talk but you seem to be bringing up good points. The Elvis thing was an error - you're correct about that. And not because it's "silly", like I said before, but rather because it is, as you say, cringe-inducingly embarrassing.
ruben remus [6/9/2006 8:27:21 PM EST]
I'm not usually crazy about distorted vocals, because they usually seem like a gimmick-y way to add interest to a weak vocal. They seem to work here though, as a way to both add sonic excitement and to blend the vocals into the track. This is one of those songs where the lyrics only exist so that the lead singer has something to do while he's carrying the melody- and judging by the scraps of lyrics that pop out through casual listening, maybe we're better off not knowing what they are. I like the wah or phased guitar at the start- in fact, it's disappointing that it disappears when the rest of the band comes in, as it would've sounded cool to have that be the main guitar throughout the song. The groove is solid, and the singer comes in with a hook-y melody, sort of a "Dem Bones" feel, with the backing vocals giving it a 60s pop flair. Everything rolls along fine until we get to the bridge, which at best adds nothing to the track or, worse, detracts from it by not being as good, with a weaker riff and melody, and the lyrics emerging when they probably should've stayed hidden. What really kills the song, though, is the "Elvis" bit, which was so cringe-inducingly embarrassing I nearly hit "stop". The song nearly redeems itself with a good ending, the distorted ranting leading into the vocals reprising the best hook, and a nice counter melody coming in, carrying it through a long fade. Overall, I think if they just 86ed the bridge- which would shave a full minute off the running time- and shortened the breakdown, losing the "Elvis" bit, they'd have a solid, catchy, pop tune.
Anal Tradition [6/9/2006 8:23:11 PM EST]
Brevity is the soul of good rock songs. I will admit, however, that this does come out of a rich anal tradition...
Will H. Disney [6/9/2006 4:22:29 PM EST]
Birthday Suit [6/9/2006 4:18:01 PM EST]
Thank you all for the comments. Cool site...
Litcube [6/9/2006 3:59:22 PM EST]
A little too long. A solid track with decent production. I don't understand why the Elvis bit was thrown in there; not sure how it helps the song.
But then I gave it four stars anyway.
I agree with you - songs can be silly. But sometimes they're "stupid" silly, and other times they are "funny" silly. So I guess I was thinking maybe this one was stupid and not funny - but I wasn't sure.
Cobainsaxsolo [6/9/2006 1:01:30 PM EST]
Yo Disney dawg, your comment made me nervous. I don't think silly lyrics should be a black mark against a band. In fact I generally look favorably upon a band that has a sense of humor. I think the unnatural serious/silly dichotomy blinds critics, or the very least blurs their vision, to really good stuff. That includes all genres. I mean look at Woody Allen. No one ever includes Love and Death in the list of great comedies because it's too silly, but I would take it in a back-alley brawl against Annie Hall any day. Hell, some of the greats have silly lyrics. Look at Wagner! Hey. Listen. I could be overreacting. That's a pet peeve of mine, this inherently biasing "serious" stuff over "silly." Maybe, I'm misinterpreting you. But just in case I'm not why not expand on your misgivings about silly lyircs for the sake of The Community?
Mr. Pony [6/9/2006 12:52:24 PM EST]
Ginchy [6/9/2006 12:26:46 PM EST]
I like the elvis reference. Keep it just for my sake, mmk? cool song too.
TheBuyer [6/9/2006 12:17:09 PM EST]
Yup, I'm on board with this.
Cobainsaxsolo [6/9/2006 12:09:56 PM EST]
I couldn't agree more with The Comm there on the length. I think you said what you had to said and then you sort of just kicked the dirt for a while. I'm ambivalent about the Elvis thing. I like the insticnt there just don't know if it works with this song. Also, tear down that bridge! I think it would have been cool if you just cut out the music entirely and sang through it that would be more interesting.
qualcomm [6/9/2006 11:27:29 AM EST]
i like it, but it should be at least a minute shorter and nuke the 'how would elvis sing it' bit
TheBuyer [6/9/2006 11:08:27 AM EST]
A lot to like after one listen.
Will H. Disney [6/9/2006 10:54:14 AM EST]
maybe that was too high
GibneySays [6/9/2006 10:20:49 AM EST]
think it dragged on a bit, but overall one of the best on here so far.
fizzwiz [6/9/2006 9:49:14 AM EST]
Will H. Disney [6/9/2006 9:46:14 AM EST]
It's probably the best put-together song we've published so far, and it's catchy and energetic, but the lyrics are a little silly, right? With the Elvis and Martha Stewart stuff. But maybe it's just supposed to be a silly, fun song.
Mr. Pony [6/9/2006 9:15:16 AM EST]
Well, I thought that was thoroughly fun.
BrownBunny [6/9/2006 9:10:07 AM EST]
Cobainsaxsolo [6/9/2006 7:51:51 AM EST]
I really enjoyed this. I thought of all the songs featured so far on the Fizz this one had one of the best blends of vocal and musical arrangement. It's like the two fillled in personality profiles on eHarmony.com and they found their true loves in the void of cyberspace. And hell that's a cathcy little hook. I'm whistling it now as is my lesbian partner, Head ceased to bop a bit when we entered the bridge, anunimaginative by-the-numbers public works project, but after we got to the other side my head resumed its jerky bopping. I will give it another listen later --for critical refelection, but also for pure enjoyment!
Nice picture.

MON: I've realized that we can't judge our partner's attitude based on our first impression about them and on how they behaved during the first few years of the relationship. (I know he was referring to me but he never used the word YOU on his statement and I wasn't sure why☺ ). Changing to be better than our previous self is always possible, but it doesn't mean we need to force our partners to change. Instead, we need to show them and inspire them to be better. I've also learned, that loving someone means accepting the whole package, be it the positive or the negative aspect of our partner. When we accept and love someone, they become a part of us, part of us that we will always cherish, serve and protect forever.(awww)?
Then he looked at me and threw me the same question. I was in a state of exaltation when I heard his answers. I wasn't expecting him to be that vocal with his emotions with me that night. It was just a random question out of my sleepy head, but then I got this sincere, heartfelt blast of emotional answers. The feeling was like winning a lottery. Wohoo!
When it was my turn to answer the question, I wasn't able to answer it right away. I was still carried over by my emotions. Phew! So, this is my answer.
ME: One of the lesson I've learned as a wife, is that whatever you do to your partner will also have an impact on you. Like for example, if we resort to using our anger to get things done, we unintentionally hurt them. There is a tendency for them to hurt us too as their defense mechanism to protect their ego. If we decide to shower them with kindness, they will respond to our actions showing the love we provide them.
He was the one who ended my explanation with a quote" YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW". A simplified form of what I was trying to say.
I wasn't really planning to have a heart to heart talk with him. The question I asked him just came out naturally from my mouth without even thinking about it. I guess, the chatty wife side of mine can sometimes bring me to a situation that surprises me often. It's good to engage in an honest discussion with our spouse from time to time, so we can gauge on how we are doing as his/her better half. We can share and evaluate what are the things we can improve on, habits we badly need to stop and things that we need to continue doing as a couple. Isn't it amazing on how an honest conversation can help both couples?
How about you? How many times do you get the chance to have a hearty talk with your spouse? Try it and you'll be amazed with their confessions.
