Oct. 10, 2017: Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Isaac Anderson pitches for the Glendale Desert Dogs during an Arizona Fall League game.
Isaac is coming of age (4 years) and became the sweetest boy ever. He loves attention and humans. Children he's particularly fond of and very careful with them. He's tall and strong. packs a punch with his 138 pounds of weight.
Coyotes he's not so fond of. An incidental squirrel is good fun and our cats are well under his protection . He begs for a ride at the end of the day which I usually accommodate. We both accept Juliette as our ruler and mistress of the house. In short we have an excellent relationship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isaac Peral (Cartagena, June 1, 1851 – May 22, 1895, Berlin),, was a Spanish scientist, sailor and inventor of the Peral Submarine (built 1884, launched 1888). Intended for military use, this submarine pioneered new designs in the hull, control systems and air systems, proving a success in two years of trials. Its ability to fire torpedoes under water while maintaining full propulsive power and control has led some to call it the first U-boat.
There is a street in the Moncloa/Universitario section of Madrid named after Peral, as well as one in Rota (calle Ysaac Peral).

Isaac Newton (1800-1867), a civil servant born in New Jersey, was the first United States Commissioner of Agriculture. When Congress established a National Department of Agriculture on May 15, 1862, Newton was the Superintendent of the Agricultural Division in the United States Patent Office. President Abraham Lincoln appointed him as the Commissioner of the newly enacted USDA. While Commissioner of Agriculture, Newton advocated daily weather reports to be telegraphed nationwide and this vision eventually became the United States Weather Service under the USDA.
As a youngster, Newton’s grandfather taught him farming practices and principles. Newton received little formal education, but he was a man of vision and entrepreneurial talent. As a young adult, he operated a dairy farm and shop in Philadelphia. He later farmed in Virginia, near Washington D.C., and marketed his products to the White House.
His reputation led to diverse experiences in horticulture, chemistry, entomology, and agricultural economics. Newton’s ventures even included an experimental farm in the National Mall near the Capitol, ironically where the USDA headquarters now stands.
Isaac Newton, a Quaker with a farm of his own in Pennsylvania.
Newton soon had a chemist, an entomologist, a statistician, and most important of all, the versatile Scottish-born botanist William Saunders, working beside him," wrote historian Allan Nevins. Newton himself inspired less admiration. "He was an ignorant, credulous old gentleman, quite rotund about the waistband, with snow-white hair and a mild blue eye," wrote Ben Perley Poore. Washington chronicler Margaret Leech wrote that “Newton was a stupid old fellow. ...But he was honest and kind, and he befriended Mrs. Lincoln, preventing, he told John Hay, ‘dreadful disclosures.’” Newton employed New Yorker Simeon Draper as his agent in threatening James Watt with imprisonment and reimbursing him with a bribe to key his confidences.
Newton was a spiritualist who became a friend of Mary Todd Lincoln and introduced her to some of Washington's other spiritualists. Two of them were hired in the Bureau of Agriculture at Mrs. Lincoln's request. According to historian Margaret Leech, he was so stupid "he once made requisition for two hydraulic rams, because he had been told they were the best sheep in Europe."
On the night President Lincoln was assassinated, it was Newton who brought word to the White House, according to doorkeeper Thomas Pendel: "Probably about twenty minutes before eleven o'clock, I stepped up to the door in answer to another ring at the bell. Who should be there but Isaac Newton, the Commissioner of Agriculture....I admitted him inside the door, and at once closed it. He was a bosom friend of President Lincoln. I was thoroughly acquainted with him, and I knew to whom I was talking. He said to me, 'They have shot the President. And the bullet', he said, 'has entered the left side of his head'. I immediately hurried upstairs, leaving him on the inside, and went to Captain Robert Lincoln's room."
Newton's Quaker connections were also important to the White House. It was Newton who served as the bearer of a message of support in 1863 from noted Quaker Eliza Gurney: "I feel inclined to give the assurance of my continued hearty sympathy in all thy heavy burdens and responsibilities and to express, not only my own earnest prayers, but I believe the prayers of many thousands whose hearts thou has gladdened by thy praiseworthy and successful effort 'to burst the bands of wickedness, and let the oppressed go free'..."
It seems that Isaac is listening to her heart beat.
Or maybe the baby inside her.
At any rate he is more careful with Annelieke than with any one else.

Isaac, pulling out of Woody Bay Station
Three miles west of Lynton and eight east of Combe Martin on the North Devon coast of England, stoney-beached Woody Bay nestles among the steep cliffs of the rugged coast below the heights of Exmoor. Although now a relatively remote and unspoilt corner of Devon, at the edge of the Exmoor National Park and a waypoint on the South West Coast Path, there were once plans to develop the area to become a busy holiday resort to rival the nearby Victorian "Little Switzerland of England".
In 1885 the Manor of Martinhoe, including the then-named Wooda Bay, was purchased by Colonel Benjamin Lake, a wealthy solicitor from Orpington in Kent. Perhaps in an effort to emulate Sir George Newnes' efforts in the nearby twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, Col. Lake planned to develop the bay as an exclusive resort. He converted Martinhoe Manor House into an Hotel, and in 1894, opened a new golf course at Martinhoe common. Plots of land were sold off, and a number of villas started to appear on the wooded slopes overlooking the bay.
A key to the success of Col. Lake's plans would be to bring in more visitors, by improving communications into the area. New roads were built and in 1895, construction of a pier was started, to provide access from coastal steamers. In 1898, The narrow-gauge Lynton & Barnstaple Railway arrived, with a relatively substantial station built high above the bay, and plans (never fulfilled) for a branch line to run down towards the shore.
In January 1897, with the pier almost completed, a major steamship company operating in the area announced that they would be sailing to Woody Bay instead of Lynmouth. This caused considerable alarm among the Lynton and Lynmouth residents, and eventually, the decision was reversed. The official opening of the Woody Bay pier took place on 15 April 1897. However, bad weather and low tides prevented the first ships from docking, and this set the scene for future visitors – the pier was not long enough to cater for landings at low tide. And although there was a regular service from Bristol, fewer steamers were calling than had been intended, and plans were drawn up to extend the pier further out into the bay. Again apeing Sir George's development of the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway, a cliff railway was also mooted, to connect with the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway, although neither plan ever came to fruition.
On 12 January 1899, perhaps as an omen of what was to come, the pier was severely damaged by a storm, with another a year later. It was never repaired, and the remains were finally demolished for scrap in 1902, although some evidence of its existence can still be seen on the shoreline today.
The Colonel continued pouring money into the area, in an effort to see his dream become reality. However, it wasn't all his money to spend, and in July 1900, he was forced into bankruptcy, with debts of over £170,000. He was sentenced to twelve years in prison, for using clients' savings to fund the Woody Bay developments, and died in 1907 along with any prospect of further intensive developments around Martinhoe.
Port Isaac is a small and picturesque fishing village on the Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The nearest towns are Wadebridge and Camelford, both ten miles away. Port Gaverne, commonly mistaken to be part of Port Isaac, is a nearby hamlet that has its own history. The meaning of the Cornish name is "corn port", indicating a trade in corn from the arable inland district.

Isaac Hayes (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008) - one of the greatest soul men ever. Here with fellow artists William Bell, Eddie "Knock On Wood" Floyd and Steve Cropper from a Stax tribute at the Antone's, during the SXSW 2007.
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617-1682, Spanish) - Isaac Blessing Jacob, ca. 1660, oil on canvas, 245×357 cm, Hermitage, St. Petersburg, Russia.
Highly esteemed in his own time, Murillo was the 1st president of the Seville Academy (1660). A lesser artist than his contemporary Velazquez, he perfected popular genre paintings and sentimental biblical themes painted in the prevailing bombastic and polished mode of the Spanish Counter-Reformation; his beggar boys, fruit-sellers, Madonnas and saints are presented with shallow feeling. The Beggar Boys Throwing Dice and Madonna are among his best and most sincere paintings.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (n. decembrie 1617, Sevilla, Spania – d. aprilie 1682, Sevilla, Spania) a fost un pictor spaniol din sec. al XVII-lea. Este una dintre cele mai importante figuri ale picturii baroce spaniole.
Viața și opera
Ultimul din cei 14 copii ai unei familii. Tatăl său, Gaspar Esteban, era un bărbier-chirurg, mama sa se numea María Pérez Murillo, Bartolomé a luat numele ei pentru semnarea operelor sale. La moartea părinților, cum era încă un copil, a fost crescut de o soră mai mare, Ana, căsătorită și ea cu un bărbier-chirurg pe nume Juan Agustín de Lagares, cu care Bartolomé a avut o relație foarte bună. S-a format în atelierul lui Juan Castillo, unde a cunoscut pictura flamanda. Din păcate nu se știe nimic despre călătoriile sale în afara Spaniei: se crede că Murillo a cunoscut acest tip de pictură datorită faptului că Sevilia era – în acel timp – un important centru comercial și aceasta a înlesnit contactele populației băștinașe cu negustorii din nordul Europei. Primele sale opere au fost influențate de Zurbarán, Ribera și de Alonso Cano, opere de mare realism și cu un stil deosebit care însă, cu timpul, a suferit o evoluție remarcabilă. Tablourile sale au căpătat importanță și datorită faptului că ele coincideau cu gustul burghez și aristrocratic mai ales în tematicile religioase.
În 1645 a pictat 13 pânze pentru chiostrul bisericii San Francisco el Grande din Sevilia; acestea se numără printre pânzele care i-au adus cea mai mare faimă. S-a căsătorit în același an cu Beatriz Cabrera, cu care va avea, în final, 9 copii. Realizarea celor două tablouri pentru Catedrala din Sevilia au constituit pentru el izvorul inspirației și al specializării în cele două tematici, care i-au adus cea mai mare notorietate: nenumăratele «Preacurata cu Pruncul» și «Imaculata».
După o perioadă de ședere la Madrid între 1658 și 1660, se întoarce în orașul natal, Sevilia, unde intervine în fondarea Academiei de Picturi din Sevilia, împărțind conducerea acesteia cu Herrera el Mozo. În această perioadă de maximă activitate a primit însărcinări importante în orașul său natal: pala pentru mănăstirea Sfântului Augustin, tablourile pentru biserica Santa Maria la Blanca, pala cea mare și capelele laterale ale bisericii mănăstirii franciscanilor capucini, pe care le-a terminat în 1665.
Frescele Bisericii Capucinilor din Sevilia au fost salvate de la distrugere în perioada invaziei franceze din timpul Războiului spaniol de Independență iar mai apoi au fost restaurate de pictorul sevilian Joaquín Bejarano; drept mulțumire, călugării capucini i-au dăruit pânza centrală a palei principale, Extazul de la Porțiuncula a Sfântului Francisc de Assisi, în prezent conservată la Wallraf-Richartz-Museum din Köln.
Murillo este cunoscut și pentru tablourile sale reprezentând fetițe și copii: de la candoarea Fetițelor cu flori la realismul viu al copiilor străzii, a pruncilor de țigani și de cerșetori, lucrări ce constituie un interesant și bogat material pentru studiul vieții populare al epocii. După o serie de lucrări dedicate parabolei Fiului risipitor, a început decorarea bisericii mănăstirii capucinilor din Cádiz, Nuntirea mistică a Sfintei Ecaterina din Alexandria, operă rămasă neterminată din cauza accidentului survenit.
Într-adevăr, în 1681, pe când lucra sus pe schele, s-a prăbușit în gol căzătura i-a adus moartea după câteva luni de suferință. S-a stins din viață pe 3 aprilie 1682.
Isaac lives across the street. He and Moby have an affinity for one another. The other day Moby was barking incessantly, but when I looked out the window, I didn't see anyone. At long last I realized that Isaac was at the front door. I let him in and they had a wonderful little play session before I took him home. His owner didn't realize that the back door was open.

Isaac Nicolaas Verhoeven * 28-08-1929 + 26-10-2002
Had he lived , my dear old dad would have turned 90 last Wednessday. So I paid him a short visit & later wrote this :
Today it is 80 years ago that in Oegstgeest a little boy got a mobilization as an unexpected "gift " for his tenth birthday. That was a bad joke, but the fact made an impression: he remembered it well in his later years. Had he lived , he would have turned ninety today. We lost him, now almost 17 years ago. Death came as a second liberation. Of this, the occupation and liberation my little country by the sea had no inclination, back then that 28th. of August 1939. By the way: the first liberation was special, and yet again not at all, but that is another story.
Dear Dad, I can't imagine you as a seriously old 90-year-old at all. You always looked and behaved at least ten years younger than your age. I don't think you would have liked our present times much. With all that elderly bashing: telling the world older people are so expensive, I feel a political plan with suicide pills coming up, anti demo fascists who do they think they are ? I well remember that there was a small note about a road accident in the paper involving a 65-year-old. The writer telling us that the old age pensioner was unharmed. They meant well, but used the wrong words in your opinion. One had to hear my father, my father (!). Fortunately, you were rarely angry. Now, you fulminated, and then blamed the journalist .. No, it might be better as it is now.
The good Lord will know, He who governs everything. He knows we humans make a mess of it. Still, I sometimes miss you dear friend, when I want to talk about something with you. And then realize you are obvouisly no longer there. That was a thing to get used to, back then, now nearly 17 years ago. Suddenly you couldn't ask ! That day you were liberated for the second time. But now by death from your illness.
Wish you a lovely birthday up there, everything is still good here, no fear!
