Top Down Stupidity
Somehow I’ve never understood the progressive tendency to believe that you can just spend some money and wave your hands and shazam!!! magic happens. Here’s a case in point.
The White House announced Obama’s new Computer Science for All initiative in a blog post recently. The president has allotted $4 billion in funding for states to ensure that every student between kindergarten and 12th grade receives sufficient computer science education. Of that $4 billion, $100 million will go directly to school districts, and $135 million will be made available this year.
As technology advances, more and more jobs require employees to have computer science skills. However, not everyone has access to that kind of education. Though more than 90% of parents say they want their children to have a computer science curriculum, only about 25% of schools offer quality programs. In 22 states, computer science classes don’t even count toward…

ANZAC Day
In honor of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who have fought in numerous wars for their freedoms and the rights of others; 25 April is the designated date for memorial ceremonies and tributes.
ANZAC’s hard at work
There are ceremonies for the ANZAC’s and there are other poems, but I believe this says it all…
Ode of Remembrance
They shall grow not old, as we are left grow old;
Age will not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.
Gone but not forgotten
The Spirit of ANZAC
Remembrance

Use your voice for kindness, your ears for compassion, your hands for charity, your mind for truth, and your Heart for Love ♥
Maybe one day you will realize that whatever you ran behind in this world was worthless. And maybe that one day will be too late.
Death is enough as an Admonition.
Belki bir gün, bu fani alemde ardından koştuğumuz herşeyin değersiz olduğunu anlayacağız. Ve belki o bir gün artık çok geç olacak.
Nasihat olarak ölüm yeter.
“Use your voice for kindness, your ears for compassion, your hands for charity, your mind for truth, and your Heart for Love.”
” Sesinizi iyilik için, kulaklarınızı merhamet için, ellerinizi hayır için, zihninizi hakikat ve kalbinizi Sevgi için kullanın.”

The Fairytale Town of Carmel
I read the TripAdvisor article “12 fairy-tale places that are real.” Two of them happened to be in the United States and luckily for me, one of them happened to be a six hour drive away. The storybook town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA was well worth the adventure. Wine tastings, thousands of elephant seals, and Big Sur were all beautiful bonus stops along the way. So was it a fairytale? Absolutely. I think the story goes like this…
Once upon a time a ballsy broad asked her hubbie to make a legit dollhouse to sell her dolls. Prince Comstock made all of her housing needs come true. Mickey Mouse Wizard acknowledged his good deeds, as twisting juniper trees, covered the town with moss, bringing ridiculous tufts of cuteness to a town that would later come to be known as Carmel-by-the-Sea. The fairy glens from far and wide rejoiced, as they now…
