The Pittsburgh Riverhounds Soccer team practicing before their Friday game against Cleveland airing on ESPN 2. Practice was special today because 4 development team players were brought up to practice with the pros and they used the opportunity to adjust to the speed and intensity of professional level players. Drills, like "Tag" emphasized agility and mobility. Head coach Bob preached spacing, quick decision-making, and playing forward.
Follow the Riverhounds!

So here I am, I know, I've been gone for what seems like a long time. That's mostly because, well, I have been. School started up again after three weeks of none and while that's nice, I'm still trying to figure out what classes I'm taking for my last year of school. My life is insane and there is so much changing around and with me.
Life is a roller coaster and an adventure, while it sucks at times, its actually lots of fun if you just look at it. A lot of times people practice conversations, don't say "No we don't!" 'cause everyone had done it at least once!
Well practice can make perfect, but not always. We can practice conversations over and over again and it still won't go that way. It's weird how that works, how we feel that if we practice our conversations in our heads or out loud with ourselves we will know exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. It never works out that way.
Instead God throws us a curve ball and we have to think on our feet. We can still use some of those things that we have thought of, but probably not the same way we did before. It's good for us though, we learn to count on Him to have us say the right thing and protect what comes out of our mouths. We count on Him to hold us together as if we are about to fall to a million pieces.
So I took this picture and I had a million things going through my mind, and one of my first thoughts was a bathroom shot, but not the typical one where you can see the person in the mirror, instead I wanted the hands and the body. I have tough hands that show my veins a lot. It's a different view on a "normal" shot.
I like to take what can be a common picture and show it in a different view because you can take the same picture a million times, but in different angles and the whole things will change. Just like in life, you can be stuck in a situation and if you just look at it ever so slightly different the whole things changes. Satan has this nasty way of playing tricks and telling us lies and we believe them, instead of talking to God about it or looking at things differently.
Something that I have forever struggled with is weight, I know I am healthy and that nothing is wrong with me. I'm not fat, not chubby, I have a lot of muscle, I don't need to be skinnier, but still, there are days where I can't stand it and everything I put on doesn't look good on me or I feel gross in and like I need to cover up. Then I remember that I am just perfect the way I am and that I do not need to loose weight so I shouldn't work out to loose weight, but to stay healthy and in shape. Don't let satan tell you lies, don't let him win, he doesn't own you and God makes you stronger then satans hold.

Playing with the iPhone camera. This is an attempt to take an image emulating an old Polaroid picture. It is interesting to note that the in-phone apps, then uploading through the iPad, seems to strip out the exif data and the geotagging.

On our day trip to the Great Barrier Reef on our holiday in Australia, July 25, 2014 Queensland, Australia.
It would have been wonderful to have been able to gone snorkelling but I am claustrophobic so couldn't. We did go in the submarine they have that goes under water to look at the corals and fish which was great but the glass was all scratched up so the photos didn't turn out too well.
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometres (1,400 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres (133,000 sq mi). The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia.
The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981. CNN labelled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Queensland National Trust named it a state icon of Queensland.
A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as fishing and tourism. Other environmental pressures on the reef and its ecosystem include runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish. According to a study published in October 2012 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the reef has lost more than half its coral cover since 1985.
The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and used by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is an important part of local groups' cultures and spirituality. The reef is a very popular destination for tourists, especially in the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns regions. Tourism is an important economic activity for the region, generating over $3 billion per year.
The Great Barrier Reef supports a diversity of life, including many vulnerable or endangered species, some of which may be endemic to the reef system.It is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. It is larger than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space.

Medical Friendly Shelter Full Scale Exercise 2018
The City held a full-scale exercise of the Medically Friendly Shelter (MFS) designed to establish a learning environment for participants to exercise their MFS operational plans.
The exercise served as a practical walk through of planning, operational coordination, operational communication, logistics and supply chain management, public health, healthcare, and emergency medical services
The MFS is only activated for a Category 2 or greater hurricane or as directed by the City Manager. The MFS is for people who, during periods of evacuation or emergency, require sheltering assistance due to physical, mental or cognitive impairment, or a sensory disability that exceeds the basic level of care provided at a general population shelter, but does not require the level of care provided at a skilled medical facility. This includes help with administering medication, personal hygiene assistance with activities of daily living (washing, dressing and eating).
