The Fall Solstice Update

It would have been nice to have everything ready to go in September, but simply put, there have been too many delays.  Important is that the temporary loss of momentum and focus has been regained.

In my effort to understand and employ AJAX I have discovered a variety of popular CRUD suites on the net. CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete.  Though such suites are beyond the immediate needs of Grammar Captive, they  do provide valuable functionality beyond the mere selection and retrieval of selected podcast data that can be used  later on.   In short, another investment, another sacrifice, and another risk!  Tant pis!

In preparation for the installation of  CRUD functionality on the Grammar Captive podcast page more aesthetic and organizational enhancements have been undertaken.

When taken one step at a time, Grammar is not difficult.  When taken all at once it can be overwhelming.  An important goal of Grammar Captive is to organize and simplify with many little steps that render difficult matters clear and easy to understand.

This coming week’s focus will be on organization — a task that has already begun at Grammar Captive Weekly Podcasts.

Life is full of surprises. Still, you can quit at anytime, if you have grown weary of their outcome. For, after all, survival is but a first step; it is a primitive instinct that does not distinguish us, humans, from other animals. Accordingly, if it is all that you can achieve in life, do not be surprised that others treat you like an ordinary animal. Alas, if it is all there is left, and you have grown weary, it is good justification to depart. Before you go, however, look deep inside and determine if you are not the cause of your own demise. For, in the end, society owes you nothing, and even your parents are likely to forsake you, if you have not been grateful. Have you said thanks for all that you have received, and have you given in return for all that you have taken? John F. Kennedy once stated "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country". Obviously, he was not thinking of taxes, but the help that he would require to become an effective president. Little that is great can be achieved alone. Then too, it takes great leaders to motivate society and move it forward in a manner that will pave the way to a better tomorrow. The world is in need of good leaders. Maybe you are one of them in disguise. Indeed, no one owes you a living, but if people see you struggling they are apt to lend a hand. Just do not be afraid to reach out. And, do not quit, if nothing is given in return. For, many people simply do not care, and you must not let them get you down. You have a right to your own life and the pursuit of your own happiness, so do not be afraid to claim what is yours. Just do not take what belongs to others, if it not without their permission or obtained in fair competition. And, cry out when you have been cheated, but only if there is something to be gained from your cries, for few people like a cry-baby. Be judicious, strategic, and select your battles wisely. Do not waste your time with trivial injustices, for we all make errors, and we are all, therefore, subject to the injustice of others. It is the very thought of exercising my freedom of last resort that keeps me alive, for it is the comfort that I can put an end to my suffering at any time that allows me to endure enormous pain. It is what gives me the courage to fight for what is right without fear of losing. It is a powerful freedom that you should never surrender! Just do not make pain your goal, or you will surely finish a loser. Then too, never place pleasure over goodness and know to distinguish between the two. In liberty, Roddy
