I'm not someone who likes to parent by punishment. I like to inspire cooperation and model good behavior. But sometimes that doesn't work. Like when you slam your sisters head in the door "by accident". Or when you punch her in the face (another accident, you argued, because you meant to punch her in the leg and missed). Everyone makes mistakes, but I'm beginning to suspect that you think it's ok to be mean. So today we took your door off it's hinges, took away all electronics, made you write lines and letters of apology. I know this isn't you. You're going through something and whatever it is, I'd like to help you through it, but being nice and kind and respectful are three things I will insist upon. Here you are laughing at someone who didn't deserve to be laughed at. Check yourself, kiddo. Mama is unimpressed.
We all come from the same parents, the same place........

Lyrics (Michael Cretu):
We all had the same parents
Many million years ago
Why can't we live in freedom
Without hunger, with no war?
At the beginning,
We all had one mother and one father
That's where we're descending from (attention)
I don't, I don't understand why so much hate (attention)
Between races, and religions
Its smile, insane
I don't understand (amazing)
Why it hurts, people died (incredible experience)
We all had the same parents
Many million years ago
Why can't we live in freedom
Without hunger, with no war?
(attention) I don't, I don't understand
why so much hate (amazing)
We all had the same parents
Many million years ago
Why can't we live in freedom
Without hunger, with no war?
At the beginning
We all had one mother and one father
That's where we're descending from
We all had the same parents
Many million years ago
Why can't we live in freedom
Without hunger, with no war?
I don't, I don't understand...
I don't, I don't understand...
I don't, I don't understand...
We all had the same parents
many million years ago...
We all had the same parents
many million years ago...
Architecte : Claude Parent [1923-2016]
- D'après Claude Parent il s'agirait de son 2ème immeuble. Il a été réalisé pour un promoteur opposé à toute innovation architecturale.
I'm at a loss as to how to best label what I see in this hoodoo feature. Maybe a parent and child, as I titled this, but maybe a dog with its little tail sticking up. In the end, this is just another marvel of nature's work over countless years of erosion, not matter how our pareidolia tendencies see it.
My father and mother :-)
As I pack my bags, I can’t help but be sad too as I am about to leave my family once again. Blogged

Tonight at a restaurant an older woman stopped by to compliment us on how well our boys were behaved. Which was funny, because not ten minutes before that I had commented to Michael that they were having a particularly good night. It was a nice thing to hear after a bit of a rough week: all four of us came down with a GI bug and we've had some challenging "toddler" moments from the older one.
Despite the downs involved in the parenting rollercoaster, I almost daily feel as though the days/weeks/months are slipping by entirely too fast. I'm lucky right now in that the younger one (still a baby in my book) falls asleep while we rock together in a chair at night, and I get to cherish his warmth and weight and I get to breathe him in and be truly mindful of our time together. In those moments I feel as though the hardest parts of parenting for me aren't the tantrums or the sleep-deprived nights or the constant winter colds or the loss of time and energy once devoted to being creative (and that is a hard part). Rather, the hardest part for me is realizing how very little time I have to enjoy these boys in each stage of their lives as they grow. How no matter how mindful I am, there will be a day when I can barely recall what their voices sounded like when they first learned to talk, or their bumbling unsteady steps as they learned to walk, or what it was like to sit and rock with each of them.
Too soon they'll be too big to rock, too embarrassed of me to hug for more than a moment (especially in public), too grown-up to hold my hand.
So that's the hardest part, I think, about parenting: loving them so much that you'd prefer they not grow up, but helping them to do just exactly that.

"And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.
And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: “My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.”
[Quran 17:23-24]
Germanwings and Lufthansa, parent company of Germanwings, confirmed flight 4U-9525 suffered an accident in the French Alps.
In future (October 2015) the nex low-cost airline EUROWINGS will be created by Lufthansa.
Again 20% cheaper than Germanwings.
EUROWINGS wil be 40% cheaper.
This means what?:
It seems it is so "cheap"
because of bad conditions for the persons who care about the low-cost airline.
in fact:
A lot of work, less money, less free time, no hotels to rest!
At the end a Burnout Syndrom, depression, or heart stroke comes.
The problem is always the too hard work, humans are no machines!
If someone feels like a slave, he is a slave.
(subjektive Depression)
Yes, it is personally, but it is not ok when normal work produces illness.
.
More money for shareholders!
Tragedy
A tragedy is an event of great loss, usually of human life. Such an event is said to be tragic.
Eine Tragödie ist ein Ereignis begleitet von einem großen Verlust; in der Regel des menschlichen Lebens.
Ein solches Ereignis wird tragisch genannt.

In my family occurerd something like this this.
The former Lufthansa pilot crashed and was dead with 54 years.
Another private person in the cockpit could not help!

Der Sinkflug der Germanwings-Maschine habe 18 Minuten gedauert, nicht acht. Das sagte Ségolène Royal, die französische Verkehrsministerin, zum «Independent». Um 10.30 Uhr reagierte die Crew nicht mehr auf den Funk.
Daraufhin liess das französische Militär einen Mirage-Kampfjet* aufsteigen.
Dieser Flieger wurde auch von Augenzeugen gesichtet. Wie die Luftwaffe mitteilte, kam der Jet jedoch zu spät und konnte schliesslich auch nicht die Absturzstelle ausmachen.
Um 10.48 Uhr verschwand der A320 vom Radar und zerschellte wenig später in den französischen Bergen.
Frage:
Hauptsache billig, gespart wird am Personal und deren Gesundheit.
Maximierung des Gewinns.
Nach dem erschütternden Unglück sind jedoch vorerst alle Tarifstreitigkeiten ausgesetzt.
Oft erhalten Angestellte von Billigairlines keine Hotelübernachtungen am Zielort, sondern fliegen wieder an die Heimatbasis zurück.
Sie sind also gestresst und übermüdet. Ein Burnout Syndrom und andere stressbedingte Krankeiten sind mögliche Folgen.
Eine jährlicher psychlogischer Check up gibt es nicht für Piloten.
Sicherheits-Checks des Piloten wurden von zwei auf fünf Jahre Rythmus umgestellt, also verwässert.
Aus meinem näheren Umfeld kenne ich so einen tragischen Fall.
Ein ehemaliger Lufthansa Pilot hatte mit 54 eine Herzattacke und starb bei der Bruchlandung. Der "Co-pilot" ohne Ausbildung konnte nicht eingreifen.

The "official" theory
The French prosecutor, the French and German aviation authorities, and a spokesperson for Germanwings have said the crash was intentionally caused by the co-pilot, 27-year-old Andreas Lubitz, who was earlier deemed "unfit" for piloting duty by his doctor for mental reasons.
But:
Authorities did not find a “suicide note or a confession”, or any evidence that the co-pilot’s actions may have been motivated by “a political or religious background”.
#
“I don’t see how anyone can draw such conclusions before the investigation is completed.”
A 2013 article in the Aviation Business Gazette reported the US Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) inclusion of Lubitz in the prestigious FAA Airmen Certification Database, for having “met or exceeded the high educational, licensing and medical standards established by the FAA”.

Neusete Theorie
Selbsttötung und Amoklauf?
Mehode:
Einem Geisteskranken wird ein letztes Urteil zugesprochen, die Verantwortlichen dabei freigesprochen.
Der jetzt beschuldigte Co-Pilot war auch ehemals bei der besseren Lufhansa angestellt und musste dann 2013 zur Germanwings Tochter wechseln.
Er war ein fanatischer Lufthansa Pilot der jetzt bei Germanwings schlechtere Bedingungen antrifft. Das ist wie eine Degradierung.
Gegen die Theorie der bewussten Handlung spricht dass es kein Lebenszeichen des Copiloten aus dem Cockpt gibt. Folglich ist die bewusste Selbsttötung eine vage Annahme.
Warum verlässt ein Pilot das Cockpit auf so kurzem Flug?
Wo ist der dritte Mann, wie in Amerika Vorschrift, wenn eine Falltür aus Panzerstahl eingebaut wurde?
Sparmassnahmen allenthalben!
18 Minuten dauerte der Sinkflug und niemand hat Hilfe geholt oder einen Notruf abgesetzt.
Das ist wie Feuerausbruch und keiner ruft rechtzeitig die Feuerwehr. Auch das gab es schon!
In Horb ist so eine ganze Firma abgebrannt!
...
Die deutsche Allianz-Versicherung, der Versicherer der "germanwings" Billig-Flug-linie, muss jetzt den Schaden übernehmen.
Da ist die Konzern-Mutter Lufthansa fein heraus.
Das Flugzeug aus Lufthansa-Beständen hat fast 25 Jahre auf dem Buckel!

Theorie:
Das französische Militär schickte einen Mirage-Kampfjet* kurz vor dem Absturz zur Klärung des Sinkfluges.
Es sollen drei Jagdbomber in der Luft gewesen sein!
Spekulation:
Finaler *Abschuss ?
Nein, Kehrtwende:
Schlussfolgerung französischer Ermittler dass der Absturz des Flugzeugs absichtlich herbeigeführt wurde.
Wo bleiben internationale Sachverständige?
"Man hört kein einziges Wort des Copiloten, nachdem der Pilot das Cockpit verlassen hat", berichtet Brice Robin. Es seien keinerlei Gespräche aufgezeichnet worden.
Woher weiss man wer drin blieb?
Waren beide drin, aber benommen?
Der Mirage Pilot hat einen Piloten über den Amaturen hängen sehen!!
Die Selbsttötung- und die Amoklauf-Theorie sind aus einem "Nichtwissen über das Bewusstsein des Co-Piloten " geschlossen worden!
Das ist eine seltsam dünne Beweislage für ein offizielles Statement.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
1980 ereignete sich eine historische Parallele, als die italienische Passagier-Maschine Itavia-Flug 870 von italienischen NATO-Kampffliegern bei Ustica (Italien) versehentlich abgeschossen wurde, da sich diese zu jenem Zeitpunkt im Luftkampf mit Libyen befanden; Italien vertuschte die Tragödie über 30 Jahre lang.
Ähnliches könnte nun der französischen Regierung unterlaufen sein, was Hollande eventuell mit seinem verbalen Angriff auf die USA zu vertuschen sucht.

A parent will literally be willing to take a child's place before they'll give up trying to save their offspring from death. A normal reaction.
As the parent increased the attack the hawk flew off with the remains of the mockingbird offsping in tow. All the birds, not just the mockingbirds, followed and continued the attack. The mockingbird was the only one who continued hitting the hawk on the back. They drove the predator from our yard.

We have a lot of doves in our neighborhood; both Mourning Doves and Eurasian Collared Doves. It used to be just the Mourning Doves, but in the last few years we have seen a lot of the Eurasian Collared Doves move in. This parent and its Squab are in a nest that the parents built on top of a shelf my wife put in our garden. Her original plan for the shelves didn't involve becoming a dove nursery, so we figured they owed us a picture.
Lighting stuff (for those who care): Lit with an SB-600 in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox that my wife handheld at camera left, just out of the frame. The flash, in TTL mode, was triggered by the popup flash on my D7100.
Over the years I've taken quite a few pictures of birds including some which you might find worthy, and they're in my creatively named Birds album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628206812625/
I was priviged to watch our resident male red-bellied woodpecker feeding his female fledgling this morning. It always suprises me how quiet the babies are relative to other woodpecker species that visit our yard. You have to really concentrate to hear the very soft chips that the juvenile makes as she begs for food. Andover, NJ
This is a parent that is watching over the young ones, Trying to gather up the energy to go get them some more food.
The Kestrel Fledgling finding its way around the Cliffs at the Bullers of Buchan where it's parents had chosen to have their brood. Great to see 6 fledged.
A few months ago when I was over at my parents house my Dad showed me this old Minolta camera that he had acquired. The rewind on the camera was frozen solid and the lens was not functioning at all.
I kept it around for target use but kept putting it off because believe it or not, I get no pleasure from destroying things.
I just like the pictures.
I did a quick check that showed the camera had no real value broken and the lens was a discount brand. Something about Celery in the title...
The lens managed to stop the steel bearing so the body is still OK. I plan to put some soft stuff in the now empty cavity in the lens and try a few more shots.
Had a good bike ride today.
A late season storm got me wet going through Oxnard, which is unusual enough that I like it.
I carried a new camera along, the Fujinon X-E1. Unlike the NEX-6, which has a terrible lens, this thing has a beautiful lens.
Sharp and well made. The sensor is also really nice and gives low noise results even at higher ISO.
The user interface is different but so far seems to make sense. You set P,A,S and M modes by twisting dials instead of a single selector. The shutter speed dial is the old style, on top of the camera, the aperture is on the lens body.
So far I like it better than the NEX, mostly because of the lens quality.
Cheers.
In this image the parent Barn Owl has just dropped off food to the young Barn Owl on top of the owl box on our property. The young owl hasn't been fed in at least fifteen hours and it's been screeching for food impatiently every since it came outside about twenty minutes earlier. The owls only come out and hunt (or wait for a delivery) after the sun has set.
Strobist info: Here's the description of the setup that I use for photographing the Barn Owls, and the owl house.The owl house is on top of a fifteen foot pole, which is about two feet in the ground, so the bottom of owl house is about thirteen feet off of the ground. I have one tall light stand on either side of the owl house, extended as high as they will go, and a third shorter light stand in the middle. The one on the left is lower because it is positioned on a slope that goes down from the house. The light stand in the middle is a shorter stand than the others, but it is extended as high as it will go. The flash on the left is a YN560, the middle flash is a Strobie 130 and the flash on the right is a YN560-II. All thee strobes are in manual mode set at 1/2 power. The middle and right flash are triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603 and the left flash is in slave mode and is triggered by the light from the other two flashes. I have a Yongnuo RF-603-N trigger on my camera which is triggered by an identical trigger that I have in my hand while sitting in a chair off camera. The Yongnuo triggers can act as either transmitter or receiver. The great thing about these triggers is that they are reliable, and are about $33 for a pair of them on Amazon. Wonderful technology at an amazing price. They're cheap, they work and they have a range of 15 meters.
Pictures that I've taken of the Barn Owls can be seen in my Barn Owls set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157630045851110/
