He hears her heart's pulsation.
as he aims the honed arrow.
She gasps from the shock attack.
Blood pours from her wound.
Stitches will never mend her.
My work was inspired by a thrilling poem by my friend, Ivor.
Visit his poetry, Times's Awry, by clicking HERE!
Ivor is the cutie on the far left. Dig those shoes!
It is a good thing we are gods and goddesses we can avoid the pain.
lol! Lucky us, huh? I've got a date with Hercules tonight. Wanna tag along?
Someone has to shine your hooves and horns and brush your tail so you are presentable.
Ah, your keen-edged British wit finds me swooning every time, Sir Knight!
Lol. Very witty… or should I say "very sharp", Mr. Cleary!
Very nice. I will email you a couple of ahem either today or by end of week. To collaboration!
I just purchased your lovely Sea Serpent print, Morgaine! It will be at home in my bathroom. So excited!!
Love your pierced heart illustration also.
Did you, by any chance, notice the "sitting duck" in my drawing?
No, I didn't…shame on me. ☹ I went back and took a look-see, and spotted the little duckie right off—since I was looking for it. I hate to admit it, but I'm not very observant.
Oh, I was just wondering… he is a wee duck. Thanks for checking on him!
Oh the power of love : to thrill or to kill.
Each one a stand alone work of art.
Well done, Rose! And those shoes…I remember.
They are cute, Rose. You're welcome!
That arrow! Cupid doesn't miss, does he? But he likes a bit of mischief.
I started thinking of the word "game," as in one might shoot game, but it can also be something played, and then fair can have multiple meanings, too.
Brilliant, both the haikus and the image.
I have a feeling Cupid used a bodkin point. Ouch!
A specialized arrowhead which was designed to penetrate certain types of armor. Bodkin points were used during the Middle Ages.
Really? Very cool. Thanks for the info!
So vivid and so personal Rose. I enjoyed Ivor's poem, too. He lives on the opposite side of the bay to me. Nice to find a local poet having an international following.
Thanks much for reading and visiting!
Ah! Cupid is cruel, I mean really cruel…he plays with mortal hearts.
We had better guard our hearts. Live the voiceover, allegories and thought-provoking image. Indeed, a very interesting composition.
Really a powerful angel Cupid is!
So thank you for setting my mind off in tangents.
I usually don't post comments with a url link, and I've been getting some annoying ones lately. You actually put some thought into this, and who can resist Stevie Wonder?
What a nice poem. Very interesting and insightful.

Milestone Win Nets Chris Emigh Jockey Of The Week Title
by Press Release | 07.08.2019 | 4:25pm
Chris Emigh is congratulated in the Arlington winner's circle by, among other, Richard Duchossois, the 97-year-old chairman emeritus of the track
After reaching a career milestone with his 4,000th race win, Chris Emigh was named Jockeys' Guild Foundation Detox Jockey of the Week for July 1-7, 2019. The award is voted on by a panel of experts for riding accomplishments by members of the Jockeys' Guild, the organization which represents more than 950 riders in North America. Jockey of the Week is sponsored by FoundationDetox.com, America's #1 Equine Toxin Remover.
With 3,999 lifetime wins under his belt, Chris Emigh came to the track on July 4 with six opportunities to snag his 4,000th career win, but it only took one race. Emigh won the opening race on the Independence Day holiday card at Arlington Park to reach his career milestone.
Emigh's milestone victory came aboard Mr. Haney ($7.40) for trainer Eduardo Rodriguez. Mr. Haney is owned by Ismael Thoroughbreds, LLC and was bred by Charles Galli.
Emigh won his next mount as well in the fourth race and picked up five wins over the course of the week. He has won 61 of his 322 starts in 2019 and has ridden in over 29,000 races. He finished in the money on over half of his 21 mounts and added $76,105 to his total earnings.
In his career to date, Emigh has earned over $79 million in purse money and is a multiple graded stakes winner whose stakes wins include the Rebel, Miss Preakness, Hawthorne Derby and Hawthorne Gold Cup.
Emigh is the third all-time rider by wins at Arlington and is fifth by wins in the current meet.

1st round of candidate speeches at #IA03 nominating convention
Shortly before 11 o'clock on this Saturday morning the six candidates who were nominated for consideration of the 513 delegates at the third congressional district convention began speaking. Matt Schultz, Iowa's secretary of state was first. His campaign color is red and supporters at this event are carrying posters in the shape of stop signs.
"We need somebody who will stop Washington," Schultz said several times during his speech.
He also drew chuckles from the crowd when, as one of his kids standing with him on the stage ventured to the edge, Schultz advised: "Don't jump off."
David Young was the second candidate to speak. Young drew lots of laughter with this line: "Washington, D.C. has become Hollywood for ugly people."
Young also touted his work as Senator Grassley's chief of staff. "We cannot risk sending someone to Washington who has not been tested," Young said.
Monte Shaw was the third to speak. Based on the applause meter, Shaw appears to have a good share of support in the room. Many are wearing yellow campaign t-shirts.
"We need a candidate who knows how to listen here in Iowa, but then be heard in Washington, D.C.," Shaw said.
Shaw also reminded the delegates that Barack Obama won the 3rd district in 2012.
"We need to put forward the strongest possible candidate for the General Election," Shaw said.
Joe Grandanette, the last place finisher in the June 3 primary, was the fourth candidate to speak.
"I'm not asking you to vote for me. I want you to vote for me," Grandanette said.
Robert Cramer was the next candidate to speak. His campaign staff won the sign war outside, as the boulevard leading to the convention site was lined on both sides with Cramer campaign signs.
Cramer shared her personal biography, discussed his "biblical world view" and stressed the "and is better than either" message he employed during the primary campaign.
"I'm a business owner AND a conservative," Cramer said.
Cramer touted his second-place finish in the primary, his ability raise money and assemble a campaign staff.
"I may not be the loudest voice you'll hear today…but I won't back down," Cramer said. "…I'll run a campaign that you'll be proud of."
Brad Zaun, the first place finisher in the June 3 primary, was last to speak before the first round of voting.
Zaun said he and his wife had visited 450 homes in the past couple of weeks, trying to meet face-to-face with delegates.
"This is an incredible journey," Zaun said, calling his competitors "high caliber candidates."
Zaun recounted his personal history and asked the delegates to "consider what happened on June 3" — his first place finish.
"The beauty with me is you know me. I am battle tested," Zaun said.
Voting commenced at 11:34 a.m.

Q: Why is execute as a domain user not working? I have created a stored procedure that brings over images from a network server and stores them in the database.
If the images are stored on local server then the stored procedure executes fine.
It will not execute with the images stored on network as the agent does not have permission to the network server.
To try and sort this I have added a network user that has permission to the image server. Granted them bulkadmin in server roles.
And try to run:
execute as user = 'domain\user'
exec dbo.stored_proc 'value1','\\servername\path\imgname.bmp'
revert

But I receive error:
The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xxxxxxx', database 'zzzzzzz', schema 'dbo'.

I tried:
grant execute on dbo.stored_proc to [domain\user] ;

That errors with:
Cannot grant, deny, or revoke permissions to sa, dbo, entity owner, information_schema, sys, or yourself.

The domain user is not sysadmin, db_owner or own any schemas in the database.
I am not logged on as the user I am trying to setup.
What am I missing or forgetting?
Many thanks

A:
It will not execute with the images stored on network as the agent does not have permission to the network server.

You can't use SQL Server impersonation for this.  SQL Server impersonation only works within the SQL Server engine.  You need real Windows impersonation for this.  Luckily you're using SQL Agent which supports this through SQL Agent Proxies.
Note that you cannot use Agent Proxies with TSQL Job Steps.  TSQL Job Steps always connect as the SQL Agent Account and use SQL Impersonation.  So you need to run your stored procedure through a cmdexec or powershell job step.
SQL Agent will retrieve the stored credentials, perform a local logon using the credentials and then execute the powerhsell or cmdexec script using that identity.

We try to deliver the perfect gaming experiences… on the internet and in your mobile phone. Board game teams embody race games , roll-and-move games, summary technique games , word games , and wargames , in addition to trivia and different components. Some video games simulate standard recreation objects like cards or dice, while others can simulate environs either grounded in actuality or fantastical in design, each with its personal set of rules or goals. These have been computer games, however they maintained the look, feel and sound of the old arcade games. Online games have been part of culture from the very earliest days of networked and time-shared computers. Because of the gradual construct up of the game, Monopoly games can last for hours and even days. You can play choose variations of mobile games at no cost on-line right at without the need to personal a cell phone. However, with the expansion of PC expertise, arcade games had been reborn in a brand new type. Conversely, some card games similar to Cribbage use a board with movers, normally to maintain rating.
The objective of those games is to hyperlink to some aspect of organizational performance and to generate discussions about enterprise enchancment. Early industrial techniques equivalent to Plato had been at the very least as extensively famous for their games as for their strictly instructional value. Some board games embrace a deck of playing cards as a gameplay ingredient, normally for randomization or to maintain monitor of sport progress. People used to spend countless hours not just in childhood watching the most perfect and magnificent Anime ever made. A number of main game varieties typically fall under the heading of tabletop games.
Board games typically use cube for a randomization component, and thus each roll of the cube has a profound impression on the result of the sport, nonetheless cube games are differentiated in that the cube don't decide the success or failure of another factor of the game; they as a substitute are the central indicator of the person's standing in the game.
These games and others, as they require reflexes and coordination, are generally carried out more poorly by intoxicated individuals but are unlikely to lead to damage due to this; as such the games are fashionable as drinking games In addition, dedicated consuming games similar to quarters and beer pong additionally involve bodily coordination and are well-liked for related causes.
Many games help develop sensible abilities , function a form of train , or otherwise carry out an academic , simulational , or psychological position. Some board games fall into a number of groups or incorporate parts of different genres: Cranium is one standard instance, the place gamers should reach each of four skills: artistry, dwell performance, trivia, and language.

Q: Why do we parameterize our solutions/equations? I'm currently taking a linear algebra course, and we always have to parameterize our solution after finding it using rref. Why do we do this? Why can't we just leave the solution in terms of $x$, $y$, $z$ instead of converting it to $r$, $s$, $t$? What are the benefits of this? I've seen this in calculus too...

A: Let $T:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$ be a linear transformation, and let $\mathbf{b}\in\mathbb{R}^m$. Parametrizing the solutions of $T(\mathbf{x})=\mathbf{b}$ is equivalent to finding a basis for the vector space
$$\ker(T)=\{\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n:T(\mathbf{x})=\mathbf{0}\}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$$
and finding a vector $\mathbf{x}_0\in\mathbb{R}^n$ with $T(\mathbf{x}_0)=\mathbf{b}$, so that $\{\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n:T(\mathbf{x})=\mathbf{b}\}=\ker(T)+\mathbf{x}_0$.
Finding a basis for a vector space is both conceptually important (it tells you the dimension of the space and gives "coordinates" in which to visualize it) and computationally useful (it explicitly describes the vector space as consisting of all linear combinations of the basis elements, which eliminates the need for any further messing with equations). In particular, when it comes to finding a basis for a vector space of the form $\ker(T)$, your intuition should be that you are finding fundamentally "independent" solutions.
Another famous case of parametrizing solutions are Pythagorean triples. One could just stare at the set $C=\{(r,s)\in\mathbb{Q}^2:r^2+s^2=1\}$ and wonder what it's elements are, but if you've parametrized the solutions, you can confidently state that you can choose an arbitrary $t\in\mathbb{Q}$ and get a unique solution $(\frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2},\frac{2t}{1+t^2})\in C$, with the only solution missed thereby being $(-1,0)$. This again is massively important, conceptually and computationally.

CUTTING CORNERS. Understanding the limitations of your car can go a long way in ensuring your prolonged safety on the road.
Introduced and backed by the Ford Motor Company Fund, DSFL is a road safety campaign launched in SA in 2010.
The Ford Motor Company of South Africa (FMCSA) believes its responsibility to customers should go beyond merely handing over the keys to a new car.
Through its Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) training programme, FMCSA continues to raise awareness regarding road safety and to date almost 4 000 drivers have benefitted from the initiative, which is also offered in Nigeria, Angola, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Madagascar.
"It is well known that South Africa has one of the world's highest number of traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities, with the Automobile Association highlighting that over 14 000 people die on our roads each year," says Neale Hill, FMCSA managing director.
"Through DSFL, in association with our participating media and industry partners, we are continually striving to create a far better understanding and awareness among the motoring public regarding road safety. "Everyone needs to become more responsible and play their part in reducing the number of lives lost each year," Hill said.
Derek Kirkby, training director for MasterDrive which runs the DSFL programme for Ford in the region, said: "With DSFL, we provide a crucial step in the learning process, providing new skills and information that isn't shared with newly licensed drivers in basic driver education courses.
"DSFL addresses the inexperience factor and helps new as well as existing drivers improve their skills in the key areas that are critical factors in more than 60% of vehicle crashes.
One of the leading causes of collisions is drunk driving, which has a dramatic impact on the driver's concentration, awareness, depth perception and peripheral vision, reaction times and reflexes.
To prove the point, the DSFL team uses goggles that simulate the dramatic effects of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Additionally, a specially developed drug suit demonstrates the impact drugs have on the driver's abilities behind the wheel.
Using a cellphone while driving has become one of the main contributors to traffic accidents, and the DSFL programme highlights the shocking reality of how texting while driving costs lives.
Ford has also made an effort to address the high number of pedestrian deaths, having partnered with the Automobile Association (AA) through the #ISeeYou pedestrian safety and visibility campaign launched last year.
Around 40% of road deaths are pedestrians and commuters.
The #ISeeYou national campaign set out to educate 25 000 commuters and pedestrians about the importance of seeing and being seen on the road.
The project gave 15 000 commuters high visibility reflective sashes to make them easier to see.
The DSFL programme also includes an important eco-driving element that educates drivers on the most effective ways of reducing fuel consumption and emissions, while minimising running costs and the impact on the environment.

Comedian Munawar Faruqui, in jail for two weeks, moves HC for bail
By PTI| Posted by Minhaj Adnan | Updated: 14th January 2021 5:41 pm IST
Comedian Munawar Faruqui was arrested in Indore on Saturday. (Photo: Instagram/ @Munawar.faruqui)
Indore (MP): Stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui, arrested by Indore police nearly two weeks ago for allegedly hurting religious sentiments during a show, has now moved the Madhya Pradesh High Court seeking bail.
The application may come up for hearing on Friday, court sources said.
Earlier, the magistrate's court as well as the sessions court had rejected his bail plea.
On Wednesday, chief judicial magistrate Aman Singh Bhuria extended Faruqui's judicial custody till January 27.
Police arrested Faruqui, who hails from Gujarat, and four others on January 1 following a complaint by a BJP MLA's son that objectionable remarks were made by him and others about Hindu deities during a comedy show at a local cafe.
Faruqui's father-in-law Younus Badra Imani told PTI that he met the comedian at the central jail here on Saturday and again on Wednesday.

"He asked about the well-being of his wife and other family members," Imani said, claiming that jail officials did not allow Faruqi to talk to his family over phone citing rules.
Jail superintendent Rakesh Kumar Bhangre said the facility of talking to family members on phone is provided only after observing the inmate's behaviour for 90 days.
In the hearing before lower courts, the prosecution strongly opposed Faruqui and others' bail pleas, claiming that they took part in a program at a cafe in 56-Dukan area amid coronavirus pandemic without any permission.
Further, during the comedy show, indecent remarks were made against Hindu deities, it said. Prosecution also alleged that some content of the show was obscene even though minors were present in the audience.

Accused's lawyer said allegations leveled against them were vague and the case was registered only due to political pressure.
The police arrested the comedian and four others on January 1 on the complaint of Eklavya Singh Gaud (36), son of local BJP MLA Malini Laxman Singh Gaud.
Gaud stated that he and his associates had gone to watch the the programme but forced the organizers to stop it when some "indecent" comments were made against gods and goddesses and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
The accused were booked under IPC sections 295-A (outraging religious feelings) and 269 (unlawful or negligent act likely to spread the infection of any disease dangerous to life) and other relevant provisions.
Later one more person was arrested for taking part in the program.

Senators file bill to expand aquaculture
The bill sponsors seek to ease Army Corps of Engineers rules they say unfairly limit shellfish cultivation, stating reforms could grow economy and protect the environment
March 29, 2017 Jeff Moore News
The North Carolina Senate votes to approve House Bill 39 in the Senate Chamber of the Legislative Building in Raleigh
RALEIGH — Two lawmakers from coastal North Carolina filed a bill Monday to encourage the Wilmington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to allow shellfish cultivation and aquaculture activities in North Carolina waters containing submerged aquatic vegetation.Sens. Norman Sanderson (R-Carteret) and Bill Cook (R-Beaufort) described Senate Bill 410 as an economic development driver that is also good for the environment."With our acres of pristine waters and a large and growing interest in cultivated oysters, the potential for the industry in the state is huge," said Sanderson and Cook in a press release. "Our goal is for North Carolina to become the 'Napa Valley' of oysters. A single adult oyster can filter and clean up to 50 gallons of water a day — thus our waters will be cleaner and our economy will grow."North Carolina's estuaries are well-known for being some of the most productive in the world. We have the second largest estuary system in the United States and the largest contained in one state. Amending this federal rule has tremendous potential to create new jobs with the shellfish and aquaculture industry."The federal rule in question aims to protect submerged aquatic vegetation, but the bill sponsors contend it is too restrictive."This policy is more stringent than policies used in other coastal states, including the Commonwealth of Virginia," said the senators in a statement. "Shellfish lease applications in North Carolina have been routinely denied by the Division of Marine Fisheries due to the presence of any submerged aquatic vegetation. Virginia falls under the Norfolk District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and in that state, after the individual lease holder has a preconstruction notification, their lease can have a certain amount of submerged aquatic vegetation under certain conditions."According to data compiled by the Fiscal Research Division of the General Assembly, as of September 2015, there were 292 shellfish leases in North Carolina, covering 1,931 acres. Out of those leases, 256 are bottom leases covering 1,820 acres, and 36 have water column leases covering 111 acres.In comparison, Virginia has 5,400 leases covering 122,000 acres. Sanderson and Cook contend that this expanding program is credited with Virginia's rapid increase in oyster landings."Growing shellfish is good for our coastal economy and environment, and the proposed changes will help more people go into that business," Todd Miller, executive director of the North Carolina Coastal Federation, said in support of the joint resolution.Harvesting resources from the sea and coastal estuaries has been a staple of Eastern North Carolina's economy and heritage since colonial times — from a small whaling industry spearheaded by residents of "Diamond City" on Shackleford Banks in the 1800s, to the "World Famous" oysters of Carteret County's Calico Creek, to the commercial and recreational fishing industries that still define many coastal North Carolina communities today.Oysters have been a key part of North Carolina's aqua-economy for more than 100 years. So much so, in fact, that North Carolina declared "war" in 1891 on fisherman from Maryland and Virginia that came south to exploit the Old North State's rich oyster beds.The out-of-state fisherman from the Chesapeake Bay area had been forced out by the governor of Maryland in 1888 as dredges came dangerously close to depleting the area's oyster beds with indiscriminate harvesting practices. As a result, those fisherman headed south that same year, and according to the Encyclopedia of North Carolina, more than half a dozen "pirate" vessels from Virginia were reported in Hyde County.In 1890, fisherman from Carteret, Pamlico and Hyde counties tried running the pirates off, but to no avail. By January 1891, more than 150 Maryland dredgers and well-armed Virginia pirates had taken control of all oyster beds in Dare and Hyde counties. Then-governor of North Carolina Daniel Fowle ushered legislation through the General Assembly to prevent North Carolina oysters from being shipped to markets out of state. To enforce the measure, the governor dispatched boats manned by the National Guard to patrol North Carolina waters and drive off or arrest the oyster pirates. The show of force worked and North Carolina fisherman soon regained access to the state's oyster beds.These days many coastal resource businesses are turning to aquaculture to augment production and mitigate overfishing. According to the N.C. Department of Agriculture, more than 200 North Carolina families earn at least a part of their living through aquaculture, and the industry is worth nearly $25 million to the state's economy in farm sales alone.Oysters are a significant part of that industry, with nearly a fifth of the total oyster harvest coming from aquaculture sea bottom leases.

§ 115D-21. Traffic regulations; fines and penalties.
(a) All of the provisions of Chapter 20 of the General Statutes relating to the use of highways of the State of North Carolina and the operation of motor vehicles thereon shall apply to the streets, roads, alleys and driveways on the campuses of all institutions in the North Carolina Community College System. Any person violating any of the provisions of Chapter 20 of the General Statutes in or on the streets, roads, alleys and driveways on the campuses of institutions in the North Carolina Community College System shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished as prescribed in this section and as provided by Chapter 20 of the General Statutes relating to motor vehicles. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as in any way interfering with the ownership and control of the streets, roads, alleys and driveways on the campuses of institutions in the system as is now vested by law in the trustees of each individual institution in the North Carolina Community College System.
(b) The trustees are authorized and empowered to make additional rules and regulations and to adopt additional ordinances with respect to the use of the streets, roads, alleys and driveways and to establish parking areas on or off the campuses not inconsistent with the provisions of Chapter 20 of the General Statutes of North Carolina. Upon investigation, the trustees may determine and fix speed limits on streets, roads, alleys, and driveways subject to such rules, regulations, and ordinances, lower than those provided in G.S. 20-141. The trustees may make reasonable provisions for the towing or removal of unattended vehicles found to be in violation of rules, regulations and ordinances. All rules, regulations and ordinances adopted pursuant to the authority of this section shall be recorded in the proceedings of the trustees; shall be printed; and copies of such rules, regulations and ordinances shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State of North Carolina. Violation of any such rules, regulations, or ordinances, is an infraction punishable by a penalty of not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00).
Regardless of whether an institution does its own removal and disposal of motor vehicles or contracts with another person to do so, the institution shall provide a hearing procedure for the owner. For purposes of this subsection, the definitions in G.S. 20-219.9 apply:
(1) If the institution operates in such a way that the person who tows the vehicle is responsible for collecting towing fees, all provisions of Article 7A, Chapter 20, apply.
(2) If the institution operates in such a way that it is responsible for collecting towing fees, it shall:
a. Provide by contract or ordinance for a schedule of reasonable towing fees,
b. Provide a procedure for a prompt fair hearing to contest the towing,
c. Provide for an appeal to district court from that hearing,
d. Authorize release of the vehicle at any time after towing by the posting of a bond or paying of the fees due, and
e. If the institution chooses to enforce its authority by sale of the vehicle, provide a sale procedure similar to that provided in G.S. 44A-4, 44A-5, and 44A-6, except that no hearing in addition to the probable cause hearing is required. If no one purchases the vehicle at the sale and if the value of the vehicle is less than the amount of the lien, the institution may destroy it.
(c) The trustees may by rules, regulations, or ordinances provide for a system of registration of all motor vehicles where the owner or operator does park on the campus or keeps said vehicle on the campus. The trustees shall cause to be posted at appropriate places on campus notice to the public of applicable parking and traffic rules, regulations, and ordinances governing the campus over which it has jurisdiction. The trustees may by rules, regulations, or ordinances establish or cause to have established a system of citations that may be issued to owners or operators of motor vehicles who violate established rules, regulations, or ordinances. The trustees shall provide for the administration of said system of citations; establish or cause to be established a system of fines to be levied for the violation of established rules, regulations and ordinances; and enforce or cause to be enforced the collection of said fines. The fine for each offense shall not exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00). The trustees shall be empowered to exercise the right to prohibit repeated violators of such rules, regulations, or ordinances from parking on the campus.
(d) The clear proceeds of all civil penalties collected pursuant to this section shall be remitted to the Civil Penalty and Forfeiture Fund in accordance with G.S. 115C-457.2. (1971, c. 795, ss. 1-3; 1979, c. 462, s. 2; 1983, c. 420, s. 4; 1985, c. 764, s. 38; 2012-142, s. 8.9.)


I was browsing through my instagram from a year ago... what can I say, I've been nostalgic lately, and I thought, "self, these should be seen again!"
So, here is an instagram from one year ago this week.
When I broke down and bought a new car of my own choosing, I went with a hip KIA rondo* which we affectionately named Rhonda. It was amazing the different perspective I had not only on driving again (because I was no longer driving a soul sucking minivan) but also I could see my little one so much easier in the rearview. I started snapping photos of her from my rearview mirror and tagged them #carconversation to capture some of the wonderful expressions I was seeing and did not want to forget.
I have recently started adding some of her quips because she is a hoot and I wish I would have done this with her brother but alas, he has a baby book and she has instagram.
*I do realize that hip and station wagon will never really happen. This is not a post for Kia, but I do really like my car. Maybe, love.

Jay Bruce Hits Milestone Home Run, Traded to Phillies (Giuseppe)
On Friday, May 31, Seattle Mariner Jay Bruce joined elite company when he ripped the 300th home run of his Major League career over the center field fence in the bottom of the seventh inning of a home game against the Los Angeles Angels with Tyler Skaggs on the mound.
The home run made Bruce just the eighth current major league player to compile 300 home runs and 300 doubles in a career. The solo home run was Bruce's 14th of the season and while Bruce's numbers have continued to tail since his solid 2017 campaign, Bruce is improving after a difficult 2018 season and has already bested his home run total from last season by five in 47 fewer games. Bruce ended the game with his season batting line at a still dismal .212/.283/.533 with 25 extra base hits, 28 runs batted in, and an .816 OPS through 184 plate appearances and 47 games.
With the home run, Bruce joined Albert Pujols (642 home runs, 646 doubles), Miguel Cabrera (467, 564), Edwin Encarnación (393, 353), Nelson Cruz (367, 307), Curtis Granderson (338, 337), Ryan Braun (331, 379), and Robinson Canó (314, 547) as the only current players in the Major Leagues to be a part of the 300 home runs/300 doubles club.
Just two days after Jay Bruce cemented his name in history while wearing a Mariners jersey, the three-time All-Star was dealt to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Minor League third baseman Jake Scheiner.
The Philadelphia Phillies are in need of an additional outfielder with the loss of center fielder Odúbel Herrera who is currently on administrative leave after being charged with domestic violence. For the time being, Scott Kingery and Andrew McCutchen have taken over center field in Herrera's absence. Bruce will fill a much needed void in the outfield and will most likely take over left with McCutchen in center and Bryce Harper in right.
While Bruce is not known for his defense, he is a solid filler in left and brings his powerful bat to the table. While Bruce will not be winning any Gold Gloves or batting titles this year, he has tremendous pop with the bat and that is all the Phillies will be asking of him, to go deep.
Bruce also has been a stud playing at Citizens Bank Park in his career, hitting .294/.354/.559 with 10 home runs and 27 runs batted in through just 36 starts there. To be blunt, Bruce rakes in Philadelphia.
As for the Seattle Mariners, they will recieve Jake Scheiner who had a below-average season this year with High-A Clearwater, batting .256/.326/.353 in 179 trips to the plate. Scheiner had a far better season the year prior when spent 2018 at A-ball Lakewood where he slashed .296/.372/.470 while slugging 13 home runs.
"Ok, there's a hint of a Kyle Seager type trajectory in there," one National League scouting coordinator said according to an article from SB Nation's Lookout Landing. "That may be wishful thinking, but there's a line you can follow."
All in all, the Mariners will recieve a solid prospect they can use to build towards the future while taking the bulk of Bruce's contract off their payroll. The Phillies will fill a much needed hole and get a solid bat with great power in return for Jake Scheiner.

Thanksgiving dinner—for even the most socially adept among us, no two words conjure up more anxiety and dread. From Uncle Larry's forays into bitcoin to Cousin Betty's passion for souping, Thanksgiving represents that yearly trial at which each of us is forced to engage with our family members in all their quirky glory.
As the day approaches, all manner of blogs and articles will emerge with tips and tactics to help diners mitigate the pain. In essence, most of them boil down to this: here are the things you should avoid talking about to keep the peace at dinner.
As specialists in family business communication, we can't help but cringe when well-meaning relatives add "the family business" to the list of conversational contraband.
We get it; a typical complaint is that family get-togethers too quickly devolve into talk about the business. For everyone outside the business, Thanksgiving dinner ends up playing out like a Monday morning meeting—only, with the turkey taking the place of a Polycom.
What if the conversation didn't have to unfold in that way? What if talk about the family business united, rather than divided, by focusing more on the family than the business? What if you could draw everyone in and create a shared sense of joy and anticipation around the business?
In our book, The 5 Critical Succession Conversations we provide an overview of the life-giving value of key family business conversations. However, here are some practical ways to remember the past, glory in the present, and dream about the future as you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving meal together as a family.
Michael Hyatt—former CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers—has long advocated for what he calls the "One Conversation Rule." The rule is simple: at a dinner gathering, only one conversation can happen at a time. No side chats allowed—period.
Everyone gets a chance to be heard.
Each person is validated and honored.
Real connections are forged between family members.
Participants learn to listen to one another.
Hosts can breathe a little easier.
Everyone feels much more comfortable.
You know your family. If you've got 26 people at the table, this rule might not entirely apply. Even so, the rule can be modified to provide you with some semblance of intentional order where everyone—in the business or out—has a chance to be heard.
Ultimately, what this does is provide a set of guardrails within which you can have an intentional conversation. It creates a space for the family to come together and speak as one so that no single member feels as though they've been nudged out by "shop-talk".
Once you've set the ground rules, it's time to shape the conversation. This isn't a board-room, and you aren't a moderator. Still, with minimal input, you can steer the conversation in a way that feels more like a family gathering than a business meeting.
One of the hardest elements we've seen in family business succession is the achievement of harmony between outgoing incumbents and their incoming successors.
Unfortunately, merely telling your successor what you think about honesty, integrity, and the like isn't enough to instill in him or her that set of values.
Stories, on the other hand, can do precisely that. They create a shared passion for the legacy of the business and the efforts of the older generation. Honoring the past by sitting around the table and talking about the business's history—origins, war stories, wins, and losses—creates a shared narrative space where values are better caught than they are taught.
After you've spent time talking about where the family business has been, it's now time to talk about where you are. Once again, this isn't a board meeting. Spreadsheets and statistics can stay out in the car. Personal and professional struggles, however, are fair game.
How do we feel about where the business is today?
Where do we think we're headed?
What are we trying to accomplish right now?
What do family members outside the company think?
For younger members of the family, there may not be an easy way to broach the topic of becoming a part of the legacy by joining the family business. Likewise, members of the older generation may be ill-equipped to have the conversation about family business succession. But if the conversation never happens, the results for both family and business can be disastrous. This is why so much effort is usually spent on helping family businesses navigate their succession.
Dreaming together about the future is important. The beauty of this moment in the conversation is that it unfolds in a non-threatening space. Potential successors voice their thoughts about new possibilities and innovations and the current owners could look to the future with hope as they consider how things will look like once they're gone.
Thanksgiving is indeed a wonderful time of year—an opportunity to come together with loved ones and give thanks for all we've been given. It would be a shame if we had to leave the family business at the front door when, with a little bit of intention, we could use the occasion to reflect deeply on all that the business has afforded us.
Bu following the frame we've shared above, you will accomplish precisely that. Moreover, you'll create a safe conversational space to begin laying the groundwork for the future. Thanksgiving isn't the time to make detailed plans, but with the right intent, you can set the foundation for what follows in the coming weeks at the office.
