Scott’s Life

The last few years.

Covad 19
Work

I haven’t posted much about myself but probably need to tell you about what has been going on. I have been alone since December 2021, the x who I’ve been fighting with over several issues left to go stay with her kids for Christmas and I changed the door code and took her off the alarm so she could not come back.. She had been threatening to move out and when I took her up on the offer she said she could not find a place and wasn’t moving out. This has been going on for a bit more than two years.

A little about her Sandra, we had dated in our 40’s and she decided I needed to find some one who would give me kids. I went to the singles group and dated a few women on and off but the only one I was interested in was dating someone else and didn’t want to have kids.

Sandra and I had kept in touch and were friends on facebook and we were talking and I was thinking of when we dated. She moved in around spring 2013 I think but could be off a year or so. I did not know what I was getting into.. First we ended up with her and kids dogs, four of them! Plus I had my dog. Sandra had a couple of strokes a year or two before moving in and was not the same woman I knew in my 40’s. It was ok the first 2-3 years. Our birthdays are a week apart though she is 5 years older than I am. We the first couple years went and did things for our birthday. One year went to World Wild Life park.

After that it started going down hill. She gave her car to her kids and was still paying the insurance on it and giving them money besides. They have 3 kids and are on welfare, her son inlaw works at a health care place. Sandra use to work there but a patient threw her into a wall and hurt her back before we got back together. She didn’t want to do much towards the end was only getting out bed to cook dinner, watch TV with me a coupe hours and then went to bed again.

Dogs, the oldest one of theirs died with in a year of moving in. We were visiting my family in Colorado. I think at this time my mother was in the nursing home. Her kids were house sitting when the dog died was well over 15 years old. A few years later Sandra found a stray in the yard and let it in. It started peeing all over the house and after 6 months I took it down to the school and let it loose. Her daughter was supposed to find homes for their dogs but never did. Her dogs started peeing all over the house, one would go outside roll in the dirt and then come in and shake dust all over. Another made a whole in the wall to the storage room the size of a large dog door with out the door and scratched up all the doors. I kept threatening to get rid of them and in summer 2021 I opened the back gate until they left while she was visting her kids, babysitting while they went places for 3 weeks. We tried finding a shelter but none would take them. Spring of 2021 my dog Skie forced her way between the back gate and injured her back and became paralyzed and had to be put down.

After I got rid of the kids dogs we were left with Sandras dog which was still peeing round the house even though she had gotten them a cheap dog door in the bedroom patio door frame. My electric bill wen up $40 because of it and I am still trying to kill all the bugs it let in. Her solution was to get dog dypers for her dog. She always started taking her dog with her because she would howl and whine anytime she left with out her. I thought for sure she would leave when I let the dogs go but she said her daughter didn’t care about it so she didn’t either..

2015 My mother passed on from complications of Alzheimer’s, it runs in her family, her mother and 3 of her older siblings died of it. She was 73 when she passed on. My father died of kidney failure in 2019 he was the last of his family and wasn’t taking care of himself . In 2008 we lost his only sister to breast cancer in the spring she was 64. Grandma and grandpa had been in nursing homes for years. Both had diabetes, grandpa had had one leg amputated and was not dong well, he passed on in July 2008 at age 89, grandma didn’t want to live any more and passed in September 2008 at age 90. That was all of dads immediate family and after mom died he didn’t really care any more. After he passed that left me as the oldest in the family, I am 4 and half years older than my first sister I have 3 sisters and 1 brother, 9 nieces, No children. I have one aunt and a Uncle my moms younger siblings left and more cousins than I could count. I am 15 years older than my youngest sister.

Sandra’s mother died of covid in 2020 at age 80. She was the only one in the family I really liked. She has two kids both married, Son has two boys and her daughter a girl and a boy, I think she is expecting again.

I can tell you exactly the last time Sandra and I slept together was when we were staying at my fathers house after his funeral. September 2019 and it had been a year before that the previous time. We were not having sex, we were fighting and it was long pass time for her to go, the longer she was here the more problems she caused. She could not cook dinner with out leaving a big mess, never cleaned up and the house was a disaster. I spent two months cleaning after I got rid of her. I calculate she owes me about 20K which I’m sure I will never get.

$300 DVR PAID $100 (she lost the remote and it is NLA. she also broke the playstation remote and I had to replace it. spilled pop on it.)
$200

$199 toaster oven (she fell and broke the door) I had to buy another.
$200 screens on dining room windows destroyed by guppy the dog
$5000 damage to wall and doors frames by guppy
$10,000 replace carpet
$650 grill damage valves by forcing knobs instead of pushing in on them NLA had to get a new grill
$1500 cleaning and damage to walls, cabinets in kitchen, wear on corners of walls where keep putting hands, instead of using her cane. I don’t think she ever washed her hands though she says she did. Stove, refrigerator, bedroom, head board spilled things. I cleaned the refrigerator 2 times the year before she left and again after.
S80 shower head in master bathroom, cracked because was not lifting head out of holder
$800 microwave destroyed by roaches she let in with dog door and she broke the door frame by jerking on it. I had to hot glue the door frame Lost the small burner cap on my $1500 stove top, I had to spend two days cleaning all the crap she had spilled on it.. $1000 Bug spray, traps

S19,660

She was damaging the brand new dish washer I replaced a couple years ago, kept pulling the bottom rack out crooked and popping the wheels off and had spilled something in the controls I had to fix. She broke two plates, lost some of my good silverware. Lost 2 sets of keys. The last had all my pad lock keys, house and mail box key in a leather folder she had in her purse. I told her she wasn’t getting her stuff back until she found it. That has been 7 months ago and she unfriended me on Facebook and I haven’t heard from her since April.. I’m sure if you ask her I’m the bad guy..

If anyone needs extra large stretchy clothes I have hers.. She was well north of 300 pounds I’m sure. I weigh 217 and shes a lot bigger.

We were never married thank god, because she would have lost her disability money and her pills are well over $300 a month. I have been alone since December 2021. I have a girlfriend but that is another long post..

Easter

Easter

Matthew 27

Jesus is accused and condemned before Pilate—Barabbas is released—Jesus is mocked, crucified, and buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathæa.

1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to aPontius Pilate the governor.

3 ¶ Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

Saying, I have sinned in that I have abetrayed the innocent bblood. And they said, What is that to us? c see thou to that.

5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went aand bhanged himself.

6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the apotter’s field, to bury bstrangers in.

8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the athirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, aThou sayest.

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered anothing.

13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

15 Now at that feast the governor was awont to brelease unto the people a prisoner, whom they cwould.

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

18 For he knew that for aenvy they had bdelivered him.

19 ¶ When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a adream because of him.

20 But the chief apriests and elders bpersuaded the multitude that they should cask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be acrucified.

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out athe more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 ¶ When Pilate saw that he acould prevail nothing, but that rather a btumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this cjust person: see ye to it.

25 Then answered all the people, and said, His ablood be on us, and on our children.

26 ¶ Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had ascourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the acommon hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a ascarlet robe.

29 ¶ And when they had aplaited a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a breed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

30 And they aspit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

34 ¶ They gave him avinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35 And they acrucified him, and bparted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my cgarments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

36 And sitting down they watched him there;

37 And set up over his head his accusation written, This Is Jesus the King of the Jews.

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39 ¶ And they that passed by areviled him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the atemple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the bSon of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

43 He atrusted in God; let him bdeliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the cSon of God.

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, acast the same in his teeth.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was adarkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, aMy God, my God, why hast thou bforsaken me?

47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for aElias.

48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with avinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

50 ¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with

aa loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, the aveil of the temple was brent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did cquake, and the rocks rent;

52 theagraves were opened; and many bbodies of the csaints d which slept e arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the aholy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55 And many awomen were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and aJoses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, named aJoseph, who also himself was Jesus’ bdisciple:

58 He went to Pilate, and abegged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great astone to the door of the bsepulchre, and departed.

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting aover against the sepulchre.

62 ¶ Now the next day, that followed the day of the apreparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that adeceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last aerror shall be worse than the first.

65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Matthew 28

Christ the Lord is risen—He appears to many—He has all power in heaven and earth—He sends the Apostles to teach and baptize all nations.

1 a In the end of the b sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for athe bangel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 aHis bcountenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:>

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5 aAnd the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is arisen, as he said. Come, see the place where the bLord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 ¶ And as they went to tell his disciples, behold,aJesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

0 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 ¶ Now when they were going, behold, some of the awatch came into the city, and bshewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave alarge money unto the soldiers,

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

14 And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and asecure you.

15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16 ¶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some adoubted.

18 And aJesus came and spake unto them, saying, All bpower is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 ¶ Go ye therefore, and ateach all bnations, cbaptizing them in the name of the dFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 aTeaching them to bobserve all things whatsoever I have ccommanded you: and, lo, dI am with you always, even unto the eend of the world. Amen.

Scottsworld 2020

Scottsworld Other than changing the links menu from the side to the top there was not any real major changes. I just updated both my ancestory database and the Henry Woodward Database on the Genealogy pages on 12-30-2020. I was not sure when I had last done it and Roy Arthur Kelly II my cousin had sent me updates on his family.

Scottworld Blog

WordPress made some changes and now automatically updates the plugins. Which is much appreciated, before I was weekly updating plugins more than I was actually blogging which was getting annoying. I logged in today and ran an SEO update and update my theam, which was the first time I’ve logged in to the WordPress app on my website in a couple months now.

Cactus Wren Weather Station

As part of Scottsworld also got the menu change and actually happened on the weather pages first. Forgot both also got some mobile coding so they work well on mobile devices, not that you will see the code and other than it works not notice it either. One change I am not happy about is the National Weather Service made major changes to their radar page, there are no more regional pages so I had to remove the radar graphic from the weather page because it was broken.. This is the new NWS Radar page and this is the NWS Tutorial on the new Radar page..

BTW I am officially a NWS weather spotter now. We are to report things like; tornadoes, storm damage, flooding, less than 1 mile visibility, large amounts of rain, hail and Snow. NWS SKYWARN Storm Spotter Program

Not that we get a lot of those things in Phoenix or even a big monsoon storm in the last couple years. We are down nearly 4 inches of rain for the year and the only real weather news was it was hot for a long time and we broke several heat related records. We were still hitting 100’s and 90’s into October and it did not drop below 80 until well into December. Then it went from 90 to 60’s in one week. I had to put a coat on to put up Christmas decorations because I was cold at 60.. I grew up in Colorado so I know what real cold feels like.

I am also a CoCoRaHS Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow member, I have an official CoCoRaHS Rain Guage mounted on my weather station and the app on my phone to report any type of moisture we receive. Mostly this year I have cleaned dust and dead bugs out of the rain gauge. Blury thing in the corner is my finger.. Have trouble holding the phone and taking photos..

Menu changes

I have been fiddling with side menu for over a year, was having issues with when it was open it did not scroll with the page and on long pages could not be seen. I recently changed the main page on Cactus Wren to a responsive set up and the side menu in the test page broke the whole set up when opened so it was time to find something else. Cactus Wren with the new menu now will display normally as two columns of content and on mobile devices the right column drops under the left and shows as one long page.

The top menu was deployed there first and now has come to all of the website except the genealogy pages and Woodward pages. For some reason the Woodward pages do not obey the container settings and the menu is all messed up. Still have not figured out the weirdness for that. I suspect maybe something to do with the image back ground which is unique to those pages. The The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding v. 12.2, Scotts ancestors and Captain Henry Woordward’s descendants are a PHP set up like WordPress so they are a different challenges to change.

I have changed my WordPress theam to 2020 which allowed me to have a blue menu header with links. Still investigating on how to do drop down buttons on it like the rest of my site. I found the drop down buttons on WC3schools. I looked at several and there was only one that allowed me to have multiple drop down buttons with different menus some would show the first menu on child buttons and basically just plain text. I had to experiment with their menus until I found this set up.

If you have seen a lot of menu code they often involve styling list items. This has no list for the menu links and no class to style the url links either. I did have the buttons open the main URL but when using it mobile with no mouse it made it difficult to access the drop down menu so I removed the links in the buttons and now they just activate the drop down menu. It is a combination of HTML, CSS and java script to make it work. At first it was not working on the duckduckgo android browser, the buttons did not appear and the links showed on the blue background. I did not change anything and it now is working.. Works on all the browser combinations I have tried.

WordPress has been updated to the latest version. I also made a change of the fonts on the website. I have wordpress showing serif but not the Faustina variable font I picked from Google fonts yet, another change I need to research. I did that after a recent class Udemy html5 class assignment to pick 4 favorite fonts and show them in the assignment.

WordPress App

I have the WordPress App on my phone and just discovered it has not posted any post I made on it and saved them as drafts on my phone which makes it pretty much useless.

So I will be posting some messages I wrote as far back as 7 months ago.. I copied the drafts and saved them as new texts in my Dropbox so I can open then on my computer and post them..

Bluehost scottsworld

Moving from Hostmonster to Bluehost

Was having issues with Hostmonster, first my sitemap program would never run to completion, talked to them 3 times about it and each time they said they fixed it and it still did not work. Very pleased it runs here on Bluehost in minutes where it ran over an hour on Hostmonster and never finished. .

Biggest reason I moved to Bluehost was this blog was hacked some how and a bunch of malware was installed on the site. Hostmonster took my site down (you may have seen “this site is suspended” if you are a regular visitor to my weather page or any other page) and wanted me to pay them $70 a month to fix it. I told them at the beginning of the chat that I would move my hosting some where else. They were not cooperative and even after I deleted the malware from the site they would not put it back up. They seem to think they could force me to pay them the $70 a month  for the service when my hosting was like $18 a month.. After chatting with them for over 2 hours I told them enough and I was moving. My hosting was up for renewal any way.

I am happy with Bluehost https://www.bluehost.com/ they have been very responsive to fix issues and as of this afternoon the last item on my major items was to get my wordpress blog back up and as you can see it is. I searched for security plugins and installed a firewall so hopefully It won’t get hacked again. Also removed all inactive themes and plugins, everything was uptodate before I got hacked so that was not the issue. WordPress had updated like two weeks before it was hacked.  But the latest Wordpess version now says the previous version had vulnerabilities .

Moving has meant some major changes. I did not put the LDS Singles pages backup, Facebook has pretty much killed email lists and there had been no post on it other than the monthly FAC sent automatically for 2 years and I have not been single for 4 or 5 years so it was time to go.

I have gotten redirection going so my urls all changed from https://scottsworld.info/weather/  to https://weather.scottsworld.info      and so on for a short time.   It is fixed now

Chased a lot of broken links where my stupid editor had not successfully global changed something or other issues. My sitemap program shows broken internal links. https://www.xml-sitemaps.com .   I do not like WeBuilder my html/css editor, but the previous software was not supported any more. I tried Dreamweaver but Adobe has this scam where they don’t sell you stuff any more. Instead they want to charge you a $30 a month usage fee each for Dreamweaver or Photoshop and their other software. It crashed while I was testing it and lost over an hours work so it got uninstalled.  Right now I am testing a freeware open source editor called Atom.  https://atom.io/

I updated TNG The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding v. 12.2  and the gedcoms into the database recently and on the move some how lost the settings for the main page, so I tested all the themes and picked the one out of 3 of the 18 available themes. I picked a photo for the page which turned out to be HUGE and was running of the page so I need some software to reduce it. I first tried the trial version of Photo shop as I  into the really only needed it once. It took forever to download and install and was still installing hours later. In the mean time I downloaded a free program, reduced the image by 50% and uploaded while Photoshop was still trying to install so I killed it and uninstalled Adobe cloud again. I would not recommend Adobe software to any one.

So the photo on the page https://genealogy.scottsworld.info/index.php  is my Parents and grandparents when my parents got married in 1963. Sad to say everyone in the Photo has passed on. My father died this summer which leaves me as the oldest remaining Scheibe in that branch of our family tree. I was 55 last spring. My mother died in 2015 from complications of alzheimers, which runs in her family, her mother and all her older siblings died of it leaving only the two youngest still alive. My father lost his only sibling, his sister to breast cancer in 2008 and both his parents from old age later that year, he has not been the same since and just gave up caring for himself.

Anyway this post was about the website and I am wondering.. Will post more later.

scottsworld The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Some what Annoyed with the Chuch’s website..

First off when I say Church I always mean The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I had no problem with them changing the church URL from lds.org to https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/

But now they have broken all my scripture links in my pages of which there are literally thousands of them..
http://classic.scriptures.lds.org/en/1_cor/14/33#33 or any other scripture link takes you to https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures?lang=eng  So all my links to the scriptures no longer work and if you search for a particular chapter and verse on the scripture site it only takes you to the chapter now, it used to go to the verse and highlight the verses specified. Because of that I have just decided to remove ALL of them and just have the text of the scriptures which will still be there just no link back to the document referred to.

Over the years they have made changes and lost articles I had linked to so I have quit linking to them. They changed links to the gospel principles manual and chapter, I fixed all those last week. It was easy to do a find and replace for http://www.lds.org to https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org and mormon.org to comeuntochrist.org but there is no fix for what they did to the scripture pages and no easy find and replace all of them. I have to remove the links from upwards of 50 pages when you figure all of Gods Plan of Salvation, Book of Mormon pages (several) the Gospel Principles Comments and Resources files of which there are over 50, Which Church and The Bible the Only word of God pages, Come Let us Reason Together and so on. It means hours of work for me..

Luke 2 Christ is born

Luke 2

https://www.lds.org/study/scriptures/nt/luke/2

Chapter 2
Heavenly messengers herald the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem—He is circumcised, and Simeon and Anna prophesy of His mission—At twelve years of age, He goes about His Father’s business.

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

Bloomsky is gone, no longer on the weather page.

In the last few months I have had 3 bloomskys and took down the Storm unit today to send back. I bought a storm about 6 months ago and the first Bloomsky v1 unit died a week later after being up for 6 months. The two replacement Version 2 Sky units I have received will not stay connected to my router even sitting in my office with it. After months of going around with their tech support I got tired of it and told them I want my money back. Have a call tag for the Storm, need to box it up and send it back along with the ridiculously priced mount

I’m sure I paid more like $100 6 months ago  http://shop.bloomsky.com/products-list/mount

I would not recommend them to anyone.

The weather page for my Davis station is up and running though.
