Mother  MOTHER  This is a truly BEAUTIFUL piece.  Please read this at a slow pace, Do not hurry.....this is a treasure...  The young mother set her foot on the path of life.  'Is this the long way?' she asked.  And the guide said: 'Yes, and the way is hard  And you will be old before  you reach the end of it..  But the end will be better than the beginning.'  But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than these years.  So she played with her children, and gathered flowers for them along the way,  And bathed them in the clear streams; and the sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried,  'Nothing will ever be lovelier than this.'  Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was dark, and the children shook with fear and cold,  And the mother drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said, 'Mother, we are not afraid,  For you are near, and no harm can come.'  And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children, 'A little patience and we are there.' So the children climbed,  And when they reached the top they said, 'Mother, we would not have done it without you.'  And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up at the stars and said, 'This is a better day than the last,  For my children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness.  Yesterday I gave them courage.  Today, I've given them strength.'  And the next day came strange clouds which darkened the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil,  And the children groped and stumbled, and the mother said:  ' Look up. Lift your eyes to the light.'  And the children looked and saw  above the clouds an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the darkness.  And that night the Mother said, 'This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children God.'  And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent.  But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her, for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill, And beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And mother said, 'I have reached the end of my journey.. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, For my children can walk alone, and their children after them.'  And the children said, 'You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have gone through the gates.' And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: 'We cannot see her but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence.......'  Your Mother is always with you.... She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street; she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks; she's the cool hand on your brow When you're not well. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you.  Not time, not space... Not even death! PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE MOTHERS CHILDREN YOU KNOW. MAY WE NEVER TAKE OUR MOTHERS FOR GRANTED... May Your Day Be Blessed My Friends

Woman goes back to work after 30 years

The shortest video you've ever seen so pay attention...   A woman goes back to work after thirty years.   Watch carefully, the video is only 5 seconds long, but, you'll get it.   If you're younger than 40 years old, you probably won't understand it.     www.youtube.com/embed/qteu4ld_SCE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Cricket, Sauce for the Goose.

Forwarding.

Cricket.

Butler and partners  were stealing runs.

Law should adjust to make such a run no run.

Mahela in the post match interview had said that the duo of Butler and Bopara had taken 22 twos - obviously some assisted by early take off.

At the 4^th ODI vs England, Senanayake bowling warned Buttler not to leave the crease till the ball was bowled. Buttler didn’t care, and soon enough according to rules, Senanayake ran him out. That is that.

Seems Senanayake is being queried about his bowling action too as happened to Murali.

To me, most of the fast bowlers around, if not all seem to be throwing with gay abandon-  as seen on TV. Fasties are the ones to  watch.

Anyhow Sri Lanka won convincingly.

Sri Lanka winning a match or a series is no longer a 7 day wonder.

Jayawewa!

So, the England players and supporters, led by their captain, Alastair Cook, are bellyaching and whingeing about Senanayake running out Buttler at the non-striker’s end. Naturally, the crowd too joined in, and at the end of the game Cook appeared to say some nasty things to Matthews.
The bottom line is, who began this illegitimate incident that forced Senanayake’s hand? In other words, if Buttler did not provoke Senanayake by attempting to take a foul start there would not have been any incident. ICC playing regulation, amended in 2011, and applicable to this series states: “the bowler is permitted, before releasing the ball and provided he has not completed his usual delivery swing, to attempt to run out the non-striker.” 
As teen-aged cricketers at school our (unpaid) coaches used to clearly advise us, that while being at the non-striker’s end, to watch the bowler’s arm and move only after the bowler has released the ball. Seems Cook and Buttler have not been advised on this matter despite reaching international levels. A very sad state of affairs when one considers the captain of the country that gave this game to the world is in the dark. Read the rest of this entry »

Sri Lankan cricketers and SLC stand firm and remain focused

June 4, 2014

Andrew Fernando in ESPNcricinfo where the title reads “Emboldened Sri Lanka keep their cool”
As the Edgbaston crowd’s displeasure eddied around the ground late in England’s innings, Sri Lanka were still, at the centre of the whirlpool. Spectators had been incensed by Sachithra Senanayake‘s run out of Jos Buttler – a Mankad which, upon the umpire’s inquiry, Angelo Mathews did not hesitate to uphold. The England innings was already creaking at 199 for 7, but as the boos rang around the ground, Sri Lanka did not delay delivering the final blows. With 220 to chase, this would be their game to lose.

It was a brief passage of play, but one which illustrated an unwavering focus that has become a theme of this Sri Lanka team’s cricket, particularly in 2014. They had had one horror day at Sharjah in January, but quickly shed the trauma of that defeat to trounce Bangladesh across all formats. An unbeaten Asia Cup campaign came as the annual contracts tussle with the board began to bubble up. That saga erupted before the World T20, which was won with contracts unsigned, and administrators engaged in disputes with senior players. Mahela Jayawardene, the man who was most visibly shaken by the heated exchanges with SLC, was the team’s lead scorer in that campaign.

Senanayake’s mankading of Buttler clarified and defended by British reporters

June 4, 2014

 Umpire Gough gives Buttler out

There was little doubt what the Birmingham crowd thought to the run-out of Jos Buttler. Boos rang out around Edgbaston every time Sachithra Senanayake touched the ball following his decision to end Buttler’s innings. Already utilising an action that some in England – a conservative country in cricketing terms – believe to be dubious, Senanayake will now forever be cast in the role of villain after running out the home side’s golden boy in a rare instance of ‘Mankading’ in the international game.

Buttler, the non-striking batsman, had backed up too far. He was out of his crease. Senanayake, the bowler, had warned him in the previous over. He warned him, clearly and in sight of the umpires, that if Buttler continued to back up out of his crease, he would remove the bails and complete the run out. Read the rest of this entry »

Dentist and the Girl.

A guy and a girl meet at a bar. They get along so well that they decide to go to the girl's place. A few drinks later, the guy takes off his shirt and then washes his hands. He then takes off his trousers and again washes his hands. The girl has been watching him and says: "You must be a dentist." The guy, surprised, says: "Yes .... How did you figure that out?" "Easy.." she replies, "you keep washing your hands." One thing leads to another and they make love. After it's over the girl says: "You must be a good dentist." The guy, now with an inflated ego, says: "Sure - I'm a good dentist. How did you figure that out?" The girl replies:....    "I Didn't feel a thing."

Bridget Dowling, the Irishwoman who married Alois Hitler, Adolf Hitler's half-brother.

A 1911 British Census document unearthed by genealogy website findmypast has shed further light on the lives of Irishwoman Bridget Dowling and her husband, Alois Hitler, Jr., the older half-brother of Adolf Hitler.
The Irish link to the Hitler family is one of the more surprising facts from 20th-century Irish history.
Bridget Dowling, a Dublin native, was still in her teens when she met Alois Hitler, Jr. at the Dublin Horse Show in 1909. The story goes that he told Bridget and her father that he was a wealthy hotelier traveling in Ireland, when in fact he was a waiter at Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel who had arrived in Ireland some time earlier after running away from his abusive father.
The two eloped to London the following year, where they married and had a son, Patrick William Hitler, born in 1911.
The Census of England and Wales from that year shows all three residing in Liverpool at 102 Upper Stanhope Street. Alois is listed as “Anton,” and wrote down the German word “sohn” (son) in reference to Patrick William.

The 1911 Census of England and Wales showing the entry for the Hitler-Dowling family.

In a memoir later penned by Bridget, she claimed that Adolf Hitler visited them in England to avoid conscription into the Austrian army, but this is widely disputed by historians who cite proof that he was in Germany at the time.
Ironically, the house on Upper Stanhope Street was completely destroyed in a German air raid during WWII.
The Hitlers were long gone by then, however. Alois returned to Germany in 1914, without Bridget. Their relationship had soured, with some accounts saying he abandoned his wife and son, while others maintain that Bridget refused to go with him because he had become abusive.
After the war was over, Alois had word of his death sent to Bridget and then remarried, though she soon learned the truth when he was charged with bigamy.
Patrick Hitler visited his father in Germany when he was 18 and was introduced to his ‘Uncle Adolf,’ who was by that point on his rise to power. Patrick returned to England, and in 1939 he and Bridget, fearful over their connection, emigrated to the U.S. where they settled on Long Island and changed their last name to Stuart-Huston.
In spite of this, Patrick did tour the U.S. giving lectures on his “madman uncle,” and Bridget wrote a manuscript titled “My Brother-in-Law Adolf.”
In 1941, when America joined the war effort Patrick enlisted to fight against his uncle and served in the Medical Corps where he saw action and received an honorable discharge.
After the war he set up in business as a laboratory technician in Patchogue, NY. He and wife, Phyllis, shared a big house on the property, while Bridget had a small cottage on the grounds.
Patrick and Phyllis had four sons, one who died soon after birth. Neighbors say the family kept to themselves and did not welcome visitors.
Bridget Dowling Hitler died in 1969 at the age of 78 and is buried in a small Catholic graveyard in Coram, NY. Patrick William was buried beside her after dying suddenly in 1987.
