We had Thanksgiving dinner at Jeremy and Erin's house in Portland, Oregon. Little Miss Evie is quite the stair climber now.
Designed for beginners and intermediate developers, this book teaches JPA from the ground up with an aim to get the reader up to speed with JPA as quickly as possible. It delves deeply into the core of the JPA, providing a sound understanding of the components that make up the framework and the way they interact with each other.
This book uses the learning by doing pattern with a lot of ready-to-use examples. This pattern has proven to be the best approach for learning a new technology. Most [if not all] of the concepts that you will find in this book are demonstrated using well described and easy to understand examples, yet sophisticated enough to demonstrate JPA in a real-world context.
This book demonstrates a step-by-step guide to developing Web as well as Enterprise applications [using EJB 3 ] which re-enforces all the learning that takes place throughout the book. It also teaches how to integrate an enterprise application with Struts2. Not only this, the book also introduces EJB 3.1 [a part of Java EE 6] and demonstrates developing a IPA based EIB 3.1 application with the help of Glassfish v3 Prelude.
The painting is a reinterpretation of the work "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dalí, painted by Mário Silva.
Dalí's original painting was completed in 1931 and is considered one of the most famous paintings in the world.
It is often interpreted as a metaphor for the human condition.
Silva's reinterpretation presents some differences in relation to Dalí's original work.
In the original painting, the man is falling into a hole in the ground, while in Mário's reinterpretation, he is standing in a field.
The man is also dressed differently in the two paintings.
In the original painting, he is wearing a white shirt, while in Mário Silva's reinterpretation, he is wearing a brown shirt.
Despite these differences, the two paintings share many elements in common.
Both paintings feature a melted clock, which is one of Dalí's most famous symbols.
Both paintings also feature a barren desert in the background.
The painting "The Persistence of Memory" is often interpreted as a metaphor for time and memory.
The melting clock symbolizes the passage of time, while the arid desert symbolizes the vastness of memory.
The figure of the man falling can be interpreted as a representation of the fragility of human life.
Mário's reinterpretation of Dalí's painting can be interpreted in several ways.
One possible interpretation is that Silva is exploring the idea that time and memory are subjective concepts.
The fact that the man is standing in a field instead of falling into a hole may suggest that Silva believes that time is not linear, but rather fluid.
The fact that the man is dressed in a brown shirt instead of a white shirt may suggest that Mário Silva believes memory is unreliable.
Another possible interpretation is that Mário is exploring the idea that time and memory are not important.
The fact that the melted clock is in the foreground of the painting may suggest that Silva believes that time is not something we should worry about.
How much of the arid desert is the only other element in the painting may suggest that Mário Silva believes that memory is not important because everything will be forgotten in the end.
Ultimately, the interpretation of the painting "The Persistence of Memory" is subjective and it is up to the viewer to decide what it means to them.

THE PERSISTENCE OF NATURE IN OUR LIVES
Andrew Hudgins
You find them in the darker woods
occasionally -- those swollen lumps
of fungus, twisted, moist, and yellow --
but when they show up on the lawn
it's like they tracked me home. In spring
the persistence of nature in our lives
rises from below, drifts from above.
The pollen settles on my skin
and waits for me to bloom, trying
to work green magic on my flesh.
They're indiscriminate, these firs.
They'll mate with anything. A great
green-yellow cloud of pollen sifts
across the house. The waste of it
leaves nothing out -- not even men.
The pollen doesn't care I'm not
a tree. The golden storm descends.
Wind lifts it from the branches, lofts
it in descending arches of need
and search, a grainy yellow haze
that settle over everything
as if it's all the same. I love
the utter waste of pollen, a scum
of it on every pond and puddle.
It rides the ripples and, when they dry,
remains, a line of yellow dust
zigzagging in the shape of waves.
One night, perhaps a little drunk,
I stretched out on the porch, watching
the Milky Way. At dawn I woke
to find a man-shape on the hard
wood floor, outlined in pollen -- a sharp
spread-eagle figure drawn there like
the body at a murder scene.
Except for that spot, the whole damn house
glittered green-gold. I wandered out
across the lawn, my bare feet damp
with dew, the wet ground soft, forgiving,
beneath my step. I understood
I am, as much as anyone,
the golden beast who staggers home,
in June, beneath the yearning trees.

thanks noremmie for stepping on some toes to change the group name. i hope frank really spells it as "chu"! :-)
Church of St Sylvester, Chivelstone Devon is now the religious centre of this coastal parish known as Prawle point which is situated at the most southerly point in Devon and also incluldes the villages of South Allington, Ford, Lannacombe & East Prawle.
Mentioned as Cheveletone in the 1086 Domesday Survey, the Lord of the Manor was then Juhel de Totnes who was granted many manors in the south-west by William the Conqueror and who founded Totnes Priory in c.1087 but who , after the king's death , was expelled by his successor.
There was a chapelry here by the end of the 13c, attached to the parish of Stokenham held by Totnes Priory.
The church now consists of chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, embattled three stage west tower with 5-sided stair turret on the south side , holding 5 bells, and is mainly Perpendicular in style.
The present building was constructed in the early 15c , though the chancel may be 14c, and enlarged with the rebuilding of the aisled nave, tower & porch in mid-16c.
It is the only one in Devon dedicated to Pope Sylvester who died in 325AD
Inside is a wonderful early 15c rood screen with painted saints www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/5d01WbJ7P4 & a
later c1480 fine matching painted medieval pulpit hollowed out of the trunk of a large oak tree www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/aCN1aNhKqJ
The registers date from 1630.
It was restored in 1897 but by the beginning of this century was badly in need of further extensive restoration.
The PCC also hoped to create a space that could be used more widely by the community as well as bringing in revenue to help make it more sustainable in the future - this in addition to providing better facilities for the loyal congregation.
Having been unsuccessful with previous grants the Church worked hard with the active support of Le Page Architects, to win a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The final interview for the grant on zoom released £400,000 during the 2020 lockdown, this supplemented with other fundraising for the match funding. There is an explanatory video that explains the project here: eastprawlehistorysociety.co.uk/church-repair-project
Work was done during 2021. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0xs1N7-DnU
There have been interesting complications around structural and conservation repair, entailing 8m deep low impact piles to support the south porch, as well as repair to a reed reinforced plaster ceiling. Extensive repointing, upgrade of rainwater goods, other repairs to lead roof, and stonework repair to decayed windows has formed the majority of the external work.
Interior works are wide ranging, involving the installation of an accessible lavatory unusually with a shower. This is so that the Church may be used for overnight accommodation for walkers and tourists champing.co.uk. Grant of consent to allow for a shower was extremely hard won but eventually allowed. A bespoke hideaway kitchen offers simple catering for a variety of events.
Conservation work to the medieval pulpit was one of the highlights of the project and remains of late 17c / early 18c wall paintings have been found under layers of whitewash,
In the graveyard are numerous graves dating from 1712 , many to those who lost their lives in ships wrecked throughout the centuries,
In his book “Kingsbridge and its Surroundings” (1874) S P Fox wrote bout the wreck of the Gossamer:“A China tea clipper ship, of 735 tons register, was wrecked in December, 1868 and 13 lives were lost. There was a strong South-wrest breeze, and a heavy sea… The Captain was seen to lash his bride of just two weeks to a spar in the hope that she would stay afloat. For a time the two of them clung to the storm tossed bit of wood until the sea took them in its cold embrace…”

How to. Keep your iPhone plugged in, power it off, power it on, wait for it to fail. If it doesn't you're done. If it does, repeat.
It's been about 5 years since I've been to this spot.
This tree for whatever reason has been here for who knows how long, weathered by storm but strengthened over time. Our first acquaintance was with my Olympus C-5060 point and shoot, and tonight I felt I raced against time and an eluding sunset just to snap this.
This is sad, I need to come up with better stories...

fest07.sffs.org/films/film_details.php?id=46
Forever is about the Père-Lachaise Cemetery is in Paris where Chopin, Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Marcel Proust, Alice B. Toklas, Gertrude Stein and many others are buried.
It will be released starting in September
Next year there also will be a DVD boxed set of her films.
This nonagonal tato was installed in September 2009. Color has vanished and it is slightly unfolded, still in good condition after a whole year outdoors.
Meanwhile, the recycling point has been relocated on the other side of the esplanade.
Came out to L.A. on a glamorous train. The countryside was fantastic, right out of old Western movies. Everything seemed new, and the world was full of ideas and possibilities.
Now there is only the haze of suburbia, as past life melts into pink stucco.
Last one of these until I get over my extreme anger at the turn of US media. I need to go back to photo vapidity for a while, and not think too hard.
Happy trails to you.
She's making me do it. Seriously, the cat was begging for a photo today so if this goes tits up, I'm blaming in on Gilly.
Like the vet said, "She's a tough old lady." That she is indeed.
