Hi, I am Carmelo R. Raya, 51 years old, a wood worker. I am living in the USA with my wife and two children. I have done masters in electrical engineering and like to enjoy "The King of the Hill" a popular T.V serial. I spent my whole day in cutting wood, moulding it into various designs and then manufacture different type of furniture for home use. At night, I help my kids in their study and spend time with my lovely wife.
Since childhood, I have a great interest in art and creativity. I was magnificent in drawing various designs, scenery during my school life. On every Wednesday and Saturday, there were hobby classes after the interval. I had taken "best out of the waste" as my hobby in that classes. The teachers taught us that how to make the fantastic product from various useless things. This hobby increased my interest in creativity, and I decided to make my career specifically in this thing. Then, I observe that how natural wood is used for creating wonderful household furniture. I researched and found that a router table along with tools and accessories helps in accurate cutting and moulding of the wood. Then I too bought a router table and started my woodworking profession.
A router table is an indispensable thing for my occupation to keep going. Without this wonderful tool, I can't imagine to work efficiently and earn my living. Thus, I thought of making a website on the router table that can help various other woodworkers. Enjoy the site and do give your feedback.

Normally, the U.S. military would avoid a retreat at all costs.
But this is one retreat our troops ought to rush headlong into.
The VA hospitals of Augusta have created a marriage retreat for veterans and spouses to help them re-acclimate to each other – and it's helping save marriages, if not more than that.
One couple who were so on the verge of divorce that their footprints were on the courthouse steps announced to the group later in the retreat that the divorce was off – and that, instead, the marriage was off and running. A therapist later reported that the marriage was better now than on the day the couple married.
Not surprisingly, that kind of success is getting noticed. Since the program began three years ago, the Charlie Norwood Veterans Administration Medical Center chief of chaplain services, the Rev. Ron Craddock, has been all over the country speaking about it and helping other VA facilities start their own. It has received a Best Practice Award from the secretary of veterans affairs.
"We're the grandfather" of what is becoming a national program, he said.
The program works because it was created to. Advised by a social worker that there was a need to help returning Iraq and Afghanistan vets keep their marriages intact – along with all the usual issues that come with long separations, frequent moves and money problems, come post-traumatic stress and even brain injuries – Craddock and Crew did the wise and unusual thing: They asked the troops what they could use.
What stuck out at the first gathering was how the invited couples didn't need "facilitating"; they instantly clicked with each other, and were still clicking when the organizers had left.
Other than listening, the secret to the program's success seems to be recognizing what Craddock calls "emotional
allergies" that escalate arguments and, ultimately, locating the weapons of mass destruction that can blow up relationships.
The retreats, now scheduled nearly monthly, have been expanded to all veterans of all eras. Some 430 couples have been touched locally.
Craddock gives much credit to U.S. Magistrate Judge Leon Barfield and to Laurie Ott, former head of the Augusta Warrior Project, for helping start the retreats and giving them form, as well as others. It's clear the group is onto something.
"We feel like we are," Craddock says.
The VA and helping veterans and their spouses stay together and stay strong – it seems a marriage made in heaven.

Elegant Vaughan takes more than personal pride
EDGBASTON (South Africa won toss): England beat South Africa by four wickets
IT WAS always no more than a matter of time before Michael Vaughan played one-day international cricket with the same elegant command that he does Test cricket. What made England's victory over South Africa at Edgbaston last night so deeply satisfying for him, however, was not just his own highest score in a 50-over international, significantly batting at three, but the manner in which his team performed in the field.
Responding to his increasingly sure touch as a captain and his central philosophy that cricketers should enjoy and express themselves, they recovered from a start that would have deflated many a team and might have brought a temperamental captain close to panic.

Mrs. ShuGar's Snapshots: Photography Homework #1
The camera is an extension of your eye. – My Photography Teacher
Remember back in the day when our phones didn't have cameras or we couldn't take any digital photos? Instead we relied on using film to take pictures and then waiting for days (or for one hour if you paid extra) to actually see the images.
I remember as a kid receiving a pink Kodak pocket Instamatic camera (those real thin ones) from my parents and feeling the urge to photograph everything in front of me. I believe it was at that time when I fell in love with shooting photos.
Home Is…
When I was single, I used to take memoir writing classes and I truly loved them. I really felt like I was in my element. I was lucky to have some amazing teachers who inspired us to tell our stories. One of my favorite writing assignments to help get the creative juices flowing was a ten minute free write answering this question:
What is home?
Doubt Infected
Mr. ShuGar and I are enjoying a mini-vacation visiting his family in Lansing, Michigan. I'm so looking forward to this much-needed time off. I really need it. This year has been a whirlwind for both of us.
I took my laptop so that I can continue blogging while away because, for me, blogging is my heart. While on the flight, I was planning on reviewing a film for this post, but I decided to go in a different direction – something more personal and raw.
Have you ever been riddled with self-doubt? Do you ever question if what you are doing is good enough?
I'm not talking about wondering if what you are wearing matches or if you should have eaten those french fries over lunch. I'm referring to that nagging voice in your head, which gnaws at your confidence. I hate that voice.
I'm usually someone that can shut self-doubt down and move forward. However, I am human and I am having a moment. Rather than allow it to poison my thoughts, I would like to share it with you in the hope of feeling not so alone. If you give it power over you, doubt can act like an infection and spread to different parts of your life. Confession: I have struggled with this for most of my life. It's not something I am proud of, but it is true and I need to acknowledge this.
What I detest about my doubt is that it really affects my sense of being, which in turn affects those around me. It's my own fault since my doubt is self-inflicted. Not to offer any excuses, but I think I know what some of the catalysts are.
- I am a perfectionist. – How many of us over-achievers aren't, right? Now, this is not necessarily a bad thing, since it has come in handy in my life. It's the antithesis of apathy and I tend to never settle for second best. Yet, I end up beating myself up when I don't measure up to my own expectations. I can be overly cruel to myself. If you could only enter my brain and hear my internal dialogue, you'd be shocked I am sure. I would never tell someone the things I say to myself. It's great to be ambitious, but I need to remind myself to be kind.
- I compare myself to others. – I know this is so bad, but I can't help myself sometimes. I don't do this all the time, but, as I previously mentioned, I have my moments when I do this and it creates an avalanche of my self-doubt. I believe competition in moderation is completely acceptable, but when you find yourself constantly comparing yourself to others, you will inevitably find a deficiency. We are all unique and have different abilities and talents. It's unfair to compare yourself to others when you end up viewing yourself as the weaker one. A little healthy competition is fine; It's the obsessing over it which brings on the doubt monster.
I hope I am not the only one with these feelings – I think there are others like me out there. In one of my previous writing classes, we read a great book about the struggles of artists called, The War of Art. Many of these artistic challenges can be applicable to others who have goals and dreams in their lives. I highly recommend this book if you have ever been afflicted with doubt.
I have no answers as to how to vaporize this self-doubt virus, except to be aware of it when it begins to take over my mind. I believe this is the first step in fighting the doubt and winning the battle. The more you develop this awareness, the better you can take the doubt, put it in a box in your brain, lock it up and throw away that key. We all possess the power to kill the doubt.

Dear (Hopefully Future) ShuGar Baby: The Day We Met
Disclaimer: I am not pregnant.
I was having a conversation with someone recently and she said she wanted to write letters to her future child so that she could remember all the things she's learned and wants her future child to benefit from knowing. I thought this was a brilliant idea and I would like to do the same. What better platform to do it than my blog dedicated to my heart!
Mr. ShuGar and I hope to one day be blessed with a ShuGar baby. We know it's a miracle to have a child and we pray we are lucky enough to be given this gift. In the meantime, I would like to open my heart to my future ShuGar baby and tell our baby stories and share some advice. I also love the idea of chronicling our journey to be parents so that our child can one day hopefully read it and know our ShuGar story.
Dear ShuGar Baby:
Do you want to know how your parents met? It's an incredible story of luck, destiny, choices and, above all else, love.
I was looking for an additional job to earn some extra money. I didn't have many options because I had to find a part time job that would fit into my limited availability. After searching for months, I finally found one and was so relieved. Of course, I didn't know it at the time, but this job would change my life forever. Your daddy was working at this job and trained me on my duties.
However, your daddy and I didn't initially feel love at first sight because I was in a relationship when we first met. Plus, your daddy was busy working on his film projects so he didn't have much time for love. Even though I was with another man when I met your daddy, I was immediately attracted to him the moment we were introduced. Nevertheless, nothing happened for quite some time because I was deeply involved with someone else. This someone else was not the right person for me; we had many problems, but I was too blind to see them during that time. Sometimes, you give your heart to the wrong person.
Your daddy and I only saw each other for four hours a week at that job; it's not much time at all to get to know someone. Yet, that's all it took. We became friends and I was drawn to your daddy's kindness and his talent. We liked each other from the very start.
At some point, my dysfunctional relationship ended and I was heartbroken. It was one of the most difficult moments of my life – learning to let go of an unhealthy love. Your daddy was there comforting me and listening to my heartache. He always respected me. You should know, not all men treat women with kindness and respect.
One of our recurring conversations between your daddy and I was about the movie The Godfather. He couldn't believe I had never seen the movie. You see – this is one of your daddy's favorite movies of all time. It was hard for him to understand how I never watched his favorite movie. We had many talks about why he loved the movie and the importance of the film. You know how much your daddy loves movies, right? Well, he asked me repeatedly when I was going to visit his neighborhood to watch the movie together.
Time passed – we became closer as my heart slowly began to heal. I was a little nervous getting involved with someone I worked with because I like to keep things professional at work. Just like the movie says, "It's not personal. It's strictly business." At least, this is what I always told myself about dating anyone I worked with. But, I couldn't resist your daddy's charm. We had a chemistry that was undeniable and it was just a matter of time before we took our relationship to a romantic level.
One day, we finally picked a date for me to visit your daddy to watch The Godfather. When that day came, we immediately connected and from that point forward, we began to establish our love. We enjoyed spending time together very much. With each date, I fell in love with your daddy more and more. How could I not? He's so dreamy and his heart is endlessly loving. Oh, and that smile!
I tell you this story for two reasons:
(1) Never settle for someone you do not deserve. Many women are afraid to leave an unhealthy relationship because of the fear of either being alone or of not finding the right mate. Regardless of these valid concerns, you need to give your heart to someone who is worthy of holding it in his/her hands. Do not waste your time and energy with someone that does not respect you. It will be the mistake you regret for the rest of your life. I am proud that I was able to walk away from an unhealthy relationship. It was scary, but I finally had the courage to do it. Always remember your worth.
(2) Never lose hope of finding love. You never know when love will find you. Don't let your heartache cloud your faith in love. You can survive a broken heart. When I met your daddy, I was not looking for love. I was completely absorbed with someone else who wasn't the best partner for me. I never knew that accepting that new job would bring me to the love of my life. There is no formula to finding love; just believe and never give up. It may not be easy to find it, but you will. Finding and choosing your true love are important choices you will make it your life. Choose wisely and do not despair. Love will find its way into your life when you probably least expect it.
Turns out, it was always personal and not business. I fell in love with your daddy because I allowed myself to make it personal and not strictly business. I opened my heart to the possibility of loving and trusting someone again. Life is about these personal choices and connections we make. It's why we live and it is why we love.
We love you, ShuGar Baby.

Feeling Nude
You know when you have those days when you want to just "be"? There is no need for too much of anything because you only want to feel simple and classic.
The older I get, the more comfortable I am in my own skin, regardless of the vulnerability associated with this exposure. In my 30's, I have acquired a sense of empowerment knowing that I have embodied my true self. I am me and I make no excuses for all that I am. I am a work-in-progress when it comes to my weaknesses, and I understand my strengths. More importantly, I love me and I am not interested in having anyone in my life who doesn't treat me with respect.
Well, I have been gravitating towards more nude and blush tones when it comes to my fashion choices. But, of course, it wouldn't be my style without a touch of sparkle. In this case, a sprinkle of gold adds just enough glamour. Behold my nude inspiration board inspired by the center picture of a woman dripping in gorgeous nude fashion.

Book Club Nominees – Round 2
Mr. ShuGar and I recently joined a book club with two other couples. I reviewed our first book club choice here. These couples are close friends of ours and we are really enjoying being a part of a group of book nerds, like ourselves. I am so impressed with how smart our friends are. They are extremely expressive and said the most insightful things about our last book. So inspiring! I also just love being held accountable to read a great book, and then to have a platform to discuss it among friends. How often do we get a chance to share our thoughts after you read a book?
We've already completed our first book club round when we read and discussed Blankets by Craig Thompson. Mr. ShuGar and I were the hosts and we had lots of fun planning the dialogue and activities around the themes of the book. There were literal and figurative blankets involved in our first book club meeting 🙂
I would like to share the nominees for our second book club round. They are:
- Glaciers By: Alexis Smith
- Gone Girl By: Gillian Flynn
- Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? By: Mindy Kaling
- Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls By: David Sedaris

- The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail – but Some Don't By: Nate Silver
- World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War By: Max Brooks
And the book club winner is………..

Once we have our next book club meeting in the next few months, I will share my personal review of the book. In the meantime, feel free to enjoy your summer reading with any (or all) of the nominees. I also invite you to share your thoughts about any of the books, but please no spoilers!
Happy reading and Happy Friday!
Mrs. ShuGar vs. Gardening
Gardening is not my thing. I have so much respect for those with a green thumb, but it's just never been my forte. Now that my life is slowing down a bit, Mr. ShuGar and I have decided to make improvements to our house, little by little. One of the first projects has been to beautify our garden by creating a hedge in our backyard. With the help of my daddy, we planted a series of privets and jasmines along our wall so that eventually we could have some nice privacy from our neighbors.
The planting project was successful and we have maintained a strict watering regime to ensure that the plants establish roots. I don't have a clue how long it would take for these small plants to grow month to month. All I know is that we have been diligently watering and waiting for new leaves to sprout. Most have new growth – Most, except this one stubborn jasmine.
Now, in its defense, it was smaller than the other newly planted jasmines. My daddy had already been watering the other jasmines weeks before our project, but we decided to buy one more last minute. Ever since that day, I've watched it struggle compared to the other plants. At some point, it even appeared to be digressing! What?
Patience is not something I have tons of. I am someone that wants immediate results. I admit this is a definite weakness. Plus, gardening is not a natural hobby of mine so I sort of was expecting instant growth since I was making an effort on my end. It was an unspoken pact between me and these plants; I water, you grow. They all appeared to be complying, except this one belligerent, tiny jasmine. Over a month had passed and still not much progress, at least not until today.
Take a look at the picture. If you look closely, you can see new leaves sprouting! There is an especially beautiful one at the very top. Finally! I think I'm learning what gardening is all about: learning to appreciate growth, even when it's not apparent to the naked eye. It's about having faith that your efforts are making a difference and will be fruitful one day.
No wonder I never gravitated towards gardening; I have struggled with this my entire life. I see this challenge still manifested in many areas of my life.
- I want to move forward in my career quickly. I am motivated, dedicated and work extremely hard. I would like to ascend the career ladder, sooner rather than later. However, there is growth in learning my current position and becoming an expert in my responsibilities. I can grow in other ways to prepare me for my next role, eventually.
- I want to immerse myself in blogging. I love it so much and I want to be successful at it. Yet, even though it has been a dream of mine for quite a long time, I have just started this journey. I can't expect to have a million followers with the click of my "publish" button. I need to understand that I am growing daily because I am finally giving myself the avenue to write. This is already a huge leap in my life-long passion. I need to have faith that my words will touch someone in the blog world.
- I wish I could be like the TV mom from "Bewitched" and make all sorts of home improvements with the twitch of my nose. There are so many things I'd like to do for our house, but there is not enough time or money to do so. I would like to learn to appreciate the little things we can do and accept these as significant improvements.
- We would like to have a ShuGar baby, but it turns out it's not that easy. I remember as a little girl thinking that as soon as you want a baby, poof, you will get pregnant! Ha! That's SO not reality. I have to believe that our time will come and to be patient until it does. There is no point in stressing out about the "what ifs." It's out of our hands.
My baby jasmine serves as a metaphor for the aforementioned aspects of my life I would like to achieve. It's about endurance, perseverance and faith. I need to keep nurtering these dreams of mine and give them time to establish roots. I must remember this because I let my impatience take over and cloud my judgment too often. Gardening is actually really relaxing. It sort of forces you to appreciate the silence. There's nothing quite like the feeling you get when you finally see a tiny leaf pop out. It is a physical magnification that your love and hard work inspired new life.

Dotty Madness
Polka Dots!
I just can't get enough of them these days and below is a fashion photo session as proof of my addiction to dots. Mr. ShuGar took some beautiful pictures of my dotty obsessions in one of our favorite neighborhoods, Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach.
Due to the outdoor bright light, it may be hard to tell in some pictures, but I am wearing pink polka dot pants in these next couple of photos. I would have normally shied away from pink and polka dots, but they are just too cute. These pants are from the Gap (see below for details) and they are on sale now! What I am loving about the current prints trend is the actual mixing of prints. Gone are the days when you could only wear one part of our outfit with a crazy pattern. Now, it's all about mixing up prints!
I chose to wear this navy lace top with the pink polka dot pants. I enjoy the look of the color contrasts – hard and soft.
As with any outfit, I like to have fun with my accessories. I am wearing a pink pom pom from one of the cutest stores: Ban.do. I discovered this online store when I was searching for wedding veils and I've been hooked ever since! They just have such lovely accessories, and whenever I look at their website I'm like a kid in a candy store!
The final touch was the handbag. My bags tend to be heavier, but I welcome a nice shoulder bag that has a heart on it (You know how I feel about hearts!). This handbag is from Forever 21 and unfortunately it's sold out, but there are plenty of others similar to this. You might also try Top Shop.
Series #1: |Gap Pink Polka Dot Pants| |Target Lace Blouse| |Ban.Do Metallic Pink Pom Pom Flower| |Forever 21 Shoulder Bag| |Forever 21 Cat Eye Sunglasses
Our next trip was to Intelligentsia Cafe to grab a cup of coffee and take a break. For work, I use this teal messenger bag I bought from Amazon and I can't tell you how many compliments it inspires. Adorable faux buttons line the front flap and then inside there is an additional surprise….polka dots! Love!
Series #2: |Teal Messenger Bag|
Amazon has all sorts of fun computer accessories. I wanted to change out my old MacBook Air blue hard case, for something spunkier. I found this adorable polka dot skin and it's so whimsical. Perfect for my style!
Series #3: |Macbook Air Polka Dot Skin|
The second outfit change was for something more formal; something more appropriate for work. Palazzo pants look so sexy and you feel sexy with them on. They can be worn with flats or with platforms, and they just exude an air of elegance. I purchased these dotty palazzo pants from Target.
Remember I mentioned mixing prints? Here's another example of this. I paired my polka dot palazzo pants with a yellow and white striped blouse from New York & Company.
Denim is back, in case you haven't heard! I love to use it whenever I can. I thought a denim blazer would look great with the navy palazzo pants. Any jean jacket in your closet will work!
Finally, I couldn't resist wearing my favorite heart-shaped sunnies.
Series #4: |Target Polka Dot Palazzo Pants| |New York & Company Striped Button Blouse|
Some other fun polka dot accessories are below. I recently re-styled our bathroom and chose to go with a polka dot shower curtain, similar to the one seen below from Target. I also just purchased the Samsung Galaxy 4 and ordered this cell phone case from Amazon.
Extra Polka Dot Goodies:|#5: Target Polka Dot Shower Curtain| |#6: Polka Dot Samsung Galaxy 4 Case|
As you can see, I am mad for polka dots! I hope you can enjoy them as much as I do.

My two-year wedding anniversary is only a few months away. I can't believe how fast the time has passed. I have so many things I'd like to discuss about marriage on my blog. I have learned so much and I know I have still much more to learn. I do not proclaim to be any kind of expert at all. Nevertheless, I would love to use my blog as a platform to explore my marriage journey with my lovely readers and also hear from others and their experiences.
Something important I try to remember in my marriage: "we" does not replace "I", although people may advise you otherwise. This does not mean that at times the "we" must supersede the "I." After all, compromise is key to any healthy relationship. With Mr. ShuGar, this is sort of a non-issue since we both encourage and support each other's personal endeavors. I want him to spend time with his friends without me. I want him to pursue his art, even if it takes up quality time from "we" on the weekends. He wants me to go to Zumba. He wants me to blog. However, I have to continually remind myself of this because I sometimes feel guilty when I take time for myself. I shouldn't since this guilt is self-imposed, but I do on occasion. In our ShuGar world, the "I" is the foundation of any healthy "we."
Just the other day, I had a revealing "we" moment with Mr. ShuGar. We were in a rush to eat dinner after work because we were going to a screening of Lost in Translation with none other than Sofia Coppola in person. You can read about my Sofia obsession here. After we parked and started walking a few blocks to the restaurant, I realized I had forgotten the movie tickets in my car. Instead of wasting time with both of us running back to the car, we decided to split up. I would get us a table at the restaurant and Mr. ShuGar would grab our tickets.
And then it happened. He quickly said, "Just order me something you think I would like. Surprise me." My jaw nearly dropped to the sidewalk. I was at a loss for words. I didn't know Mr. ShuGar trusted me THAT much to order his meal. That's a lot of responsibility and pressure to get it right. I should know; I am ultra picky when it comes to food. If I am hungry, if I eat crappy Mexican food, or if I don't like the taste of anything, I get in my infamous food mood. Warning! Stay Away.
Yet, without any hesitation, Mr. ShuGar entrusted me with his dinner and off he went to fetch our tickets. I quickly got to the restaurant and ordered for "we." When Mr. ShuGar finally came back, he told me to keep his order a secret until the server would bring his food. He wanted to truly be surprised! Amazing! I don't think I could handle such a surprise. I am such a control freak with my food. It's too personal. Not for Mr. ShuGar. He believed 100% that I knew what he wanted in that very moment.
I admit I was a little nervous the whole time, waiting for the food to come, as I wondered if I had made the right choice. Did he really want that? Well, the server brought his BLT and corn on the cob and Mr. ShuGar was in food heaven. I did well. I ordered exactly what he really wanted. In that moment, I felt proud. Proud not only to have made him happy, but proud that we have reached an intimate level in our marriage. I know his heart and he knows mine. I listen to his wants because I value who he is. The same is true when it comes to me. I admire the type of "we" we have become. It has sometimes been a jagged road to get to this point, but we are here.
In marriage, if you cherish the "I's" in the relationship, the depth of "we" will naturally grow. I look forward to discovering more about the sweetheart I married.
What have you learned about the "we" and "I" in your relationship?

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
What if you could erase all your bad memories?
Charlie Kaufman's brilliant script for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is pure poetry on film as it explores this very question with its two leading characters – Clementine (Kate Winslet) and Joel (Jim Carrey). There is nothing that compares to the artistry of this film; It exists in a global sphere outside of all other films. It defines originality and creativity.
I saw the film for the second time only recently and I grew even more fond of it, with the help of Mr. ShuGar's guidance. It's as if you are opening a present and unraveling all the layers to get to the best part. With Kaufman's words, you are transported into a world where dreams and memories hold so much value and power, yet with one simple decision, they can be eradicated from your brain.
When I first saw this movie, I felt a little lost. As in many of Kaufman's films, they are not linear, not traditional. However, once I understood this and let go of my preconceived notions of what a film should do, I was immersed in Clementine and Joel's love story. It's so relatable – it's the story of many relationships. When you first meet, everything is great. Passion abounds, all seems fresh and intriguing as you begin to fall in love with your partner. Yet, as time passes, things you used to love about the person may become stale – they no longer capture your attention in a positive way. Instead, you feel annoyed when your partner does that thing s/he does. Worst case scenario, your love rots and the relationship is doomed.
Joel: I don't see anything I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will, and I'll get bored with you and feel trapped, because that's what happens with me.
Eternal Sunshine begins right at the cusp of the stale-meets-rotten stage of Clementine & Joel's relationship. The movie intercuts between the "first" time they meet and the current unraveling state of their relationship. Clementine, staying true to her impulsivity, decides to go through with a medical procedure to eradicate all memories of Joel. Joel, in response to Clementine's drastic behavior, proceeds with the same procedure. This leads to a series of events where you watch Joel's memories slowly fading away, while Joel and Clementine are desperately trying to cling on to any remnant of their love.
This movie is a visual feast for the eyes – it captures memories in the quirkiest ways. Not to mention I am obsessed with Clementine's hair! Oh, I just adore the nicknames they each have for each other – to Joel, Clementine is "Clem" and to Clementine, Joel is "Joely". You know you have reached a level of intimacy when you have unique nicknames for each other. As if the movie needed any more greatness, Jon Brion's music is perfection. "His music also conjures a mix of sentimental memories with surreal qualities." (Mr. ShuGar's two cents!) Thanks to my uncle, I discovered the genius of Jon Brion years ago. I believe you can still see him live in LA these days. Brion provides the perfect score to depict the agony and splendor of love.
One of the fundamental issues raised in the film is this idea of loving the good and accepting the bad when it comes to memories. We can't always have heavenly moments in life; life is filled with those times when you cry, you hurt and you regret, especially when it comes to relationships. Crying, hurting and regretting sort of come with the territory. Yet, they are a part of you. Without them, you would feel empty because these memories have shaped you.
Embrace the eternal sunshine in the life you lead. It's all yours and you'd miss it if you didn't have it, even the tiniest memory of your life.
P.S. I am a big fan of minimalist movie posters, like those above!

its magnitude and an angle from an axis.
In three dimension (General)
you need three components on three perpendicular axes

rx = ax + bx + cx.
ry = ay + by + cy.
rz = az + bz + cz.
Question: Suppose
what is
rx = 4+8 = 12 m.
ry = 1 - 1 + 3 = 3 m.
rz =2 - 4 = -2 m
Question: Suppose
Find the magnitude c and b?
cx = ax + bx
c cos 450 = 3 m + b cos 800
cy = ay + by → c sin 450 = b sin 800
c =sqrt(2)( 3 m + c cot 800/sqrt(2))
c=5.2 m
b =3.7 m
Freedom in choosing a coordinate system
we have great freedom in choosing a coordinate system, because the relations among vectors do not depend on the location of the origin of the coordinate system or on the orientation of the axes. This is also true of the relations of physics; they are all independent of the choice of coordinate system.

The car radio stayed locked on WWL those three dark and lonely hours on our ride from Oxford back to Jackson after the 2009 LSU-Ole Miss game, as though there were no other station in the world.
This must have been what it was like to listen to Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast back in 1938, when radio was king. It was easy then, in the theater of the mind, for listeners to convince themselves that Martians were really landing in rural New Jersey.
It was just as easy that November night two years ago to imagine LSU and Les Miles' football world was coming to an end. It was transfixing, horrifying, to hear Miles' downcast voice and the final moments of the Tigers' 25-23 meltdown loss to the Rebels rehashed over and over again.
Oh, the absolute Hindenburg of it all. And one thought kept playing through my mind: "They'll never forgive him for this. Never."
Two years later, as the LSU Tigers return to not-so-merry-old Oxford to play Ole Miss, there are still things not forgiven, all right. But the angst has slid from one set of shoulder pads to the other, and the sea change in the fortunes of the Tigers and Rebels - and their head coaches - couldn't be more dramatic.
The Tigers are No. 1 in the nation once again, 10-0 for the first time since back in 1958, the days when LSU-Ole Miss football games made an entire college football-watching nation pause and take notice. Armed with a soul-crushing defense, an opportunistic offense, and kickers who can actually kick, the Tigers are trying to stay on course for their third BCS national championship in the past nine seasons.
It's virtually impossible to imagine that Ole Miss is the team that can make LSU's BCS Express jump the tracks. That's because the Rebels' program has become so completely derailed itself.
Two years ago, Ole Miss was on its way to a second straight nine-win season and second straight Cotton Bowl. It was a potent mix of the talent recruited by former coach Ed Orgeron and the ability of his successor, Houston Nutt, to mold that talent.
Nutt, the man who as much as anyone over the recent years - as much as Spurrier or Meyer or Saban - has struck fear into Tiger hearts everywhere, seemed to be working his magic again as he did in the good, old days at Arkansas.
But suddenly, the magic dried up as the Orgeron-recruited talent moved on. The Rebels have lost a school-record 12 straight Southeastern Conference games. Nutt will soon be sent packing along with athletic director Pete Boone, a former Baton Rouge banker. An Ole Miss legend and a Rebels booster - Archie Manning and FedEx executive T. Michael Glenn - are conducting the coaching search. So far all we know for sure is Peyton Manning doesn't want the job when his NFL days are done.
And the cherry on top, this week Nutt had to suspend starting quarterback Randall Mackey, leading rusher Jeff Scott and a backup H-back.
And now what's left gets to play No. 1 LSU.
Poor Ole Miss. To borrow a line from the late Dick Schaap, the Alamo looked sturdier.
It's a tough job, and not because of who's coming to visit this weekend. Ole Miss is the only SEC West school to never reach the SEC Championship Game. Ole Miss hasn't won the SEC outright since 1963. Like Mississippi State, the Rebels are surrounded by LSU and the "A-Teams" (Alabama, Arkansas and Auburn) and soon will have to contend with Texas A&M and Missouri in the same relative neighborhood. A tough neighborhood, indeed.
That said, Miles and his players won't take the Rebels lightly. They've been burned or seen teams burned too often to think an SEC road game spells anything but danger.
"They're going to try to ruin our season," Tigers tailback Michael Ford said. "They're not having a great season (really?), but they're still a great football team. They're going to play us hard. This being a rivalry, they're always going to come out and play hard.
"No matter what their record is, no matter how good we are, we know they're going to play their best."
The Rebels' best won't be nearly good enough. Not this time. Since LSU's Oxford incident two years ago, these two ships have passed each other going in opposite directions and are now so far apart they're barely on each other's horizon.
Nutt is out a job. Miles is back on top.
Funny how short never can be.

The other 4 I sold as custom lighting. They are made from dump rake teeth, side chain from tire chains and what ever else I could find. The globes are store bought and they can be mounted to uplite or downlite like these. Ceiling heidth and what the customer wanted determined the final look. It takes 10 teeth to complete the wheel so it looks correct.Loren

They are the pigeons chased by hawks, the easy late-season kill. But when teams like the Tampa Bay Devil Rays play the contenders in September, it is the contenders who play with anxiety.
The Devil Rays can feel the pressure start to build on the other side of the field in the early innings of games. A playoff berth is at stake, and the contender wants to put away Tampa Bay quickly. But if the score remains close, the possibility that the Devil Rays might do real damage to the contender's playoff hopes grow.
And there is no pressure on Tampa Bay, except maybe when manager Lou Piniella fumes. The Devil Rays can only gain from this. They get to play in front of large and intense crowds, even at home -- where transient Red Sox and Yankees fans fill their park -- and if they lose, well, it doesn't really impact their status in 2003. If they win, they might take down a contender or two along the way. They took two of three from both Seattle and Oakland in series earlier this month.
"It could determine their playoff future, how we play against them," Tampa Bay catcher Toby Hall said. "Do we try to change our approach? No. We try to go out and win the game. We're playing the best at the end, and it's a good test for the younger guys."
Hall said he could sense the extra urgency in the series against Seattle and Oakland. "Some of them run their mouth and say, 'These are the teams we've got to beat,' talking about us," said Hall.
But the pressure will be completely on the contenders in the last 12 days of the regular season. These are the spoilers, ranked from the toughest to the wimpiest:
1. Texas Rangers
Seattle is struggling to hang in the wild-card race, 2½ games behind the Red Sox, and the Mariners have already lost the first two of four games they are playing in Texas this week. The Rangers are a tough matchup for Seattle, a dangerous offensive team that will score runs, and the Mariners are not built to win slugfests these days. Seattle has won only two of its last 13 games when allowing five or more runs, and it's hard to contain the Rangers in Arlington. Oakland has three games at home against the Rangers next week, but the Athletics might have their playoff berth clinched by then.
2. Colorado Rockies
Every series in Coors Field can turn into a steel-cage match, and even if you go into the place and take a couple of games from the Rockies, your pitching staff might be licking its wounds for a week. Houston -- which embarrassed the Cardinals over the weekend and finally gained traction in the NL Central race -- opened a three-game series in Colorado on Tuesday with a 14-4 victory. The Rockies are 23-55 on the road, 45-28 at home.
3. New York Yankees
They could close out the AL East by the end of the upcoming weekend, and their series in Chicago next week could be mostly meaningless to the Yankees, other than settling home-field advantage. But of all the AL teams, the White Sox might present the worst possible matchup for the Yankees, because their tough right-handed lineup could wear on Mike Mussina, David Wells and Andy Pettitte. The Yankees would love to play the role of spoiler against the White Sox.
4. Anaheim Angels
Still playing with a measure of a champion's pride, and they've got one more game at home against Oakland (splitting the first two) and three games at home against Seattle on their calendar. The Angels are seven games over .500 at home, 15 games under .500 on the road.
5. Pittsburgh Pirates
Jumped up and bit the Phillies last weekend, taking two of three as Larry Bowa gnawed on his cap. Next up: the Cubs. The Pirates have six games left with Chicago, including three at home this weekend and then three in Wrigley.
6. Kansas City Royals
The Royals are still within range of first place and will stay in contention if they can beat up on Cleveland this week and the White Sox can take a couple of games from Minnesota in the big series that started Tuesday with a 5-2 Twins victory. But the Royals will probably fall out, and they have seven games left with the White Sox.
7. Tampa Bay Devil Rays
They have five games left with Boston, but the Red Sox caught a big break: It appears they won't have to face tough right-hander Doug Waechter, who looks like he could be a force in 2004.
8. St. Louis Cardinals
Three games at home this weekend against Houston, but they might be totally demoralized by then after being swept last week at Minute Maid Park.
9. Baltimore Orioles
They start the final week of the regular season with a four-game set at Fenway. In the season series, Baltimore is 8-7 against Boston, and manager Mike Hargrove will be manuevering to save his job.
10. Cleveland Indians
Play host to Boston for three games this weekend, and have two games in Minnesota next week -- plus games against K.C. The general feeling around the league is that the Indians could be a contender in '04, but they are finishing poorly, with three wins in 14 games this month.
11. Cincinnati Reds
The only thing that seems to matter in Cincinnati now is when Pete Rose gets back in the game, and whether he can be a manager. The Reds have three games in Philadelphia (which could be impacted by Hurricane Isabel), and three at home against the Cubs.
12. Milwaukee Brewers
They are the Cincinnati Bengals of their sport. No matter what they do, they always wind up as bottom-dwellers. The Brewers have won only two of their last 10 games, and they play host to Houston for the last four games of the season.
13. New York Mets
The promotion of Tom Glavine's brother might have sent the worst possible message throughout the organization: Even on a cruddy team, a star system exists. A group barely playing out the string. One more game in Chicago this week, then three games in Florida next week.
14. Detroit Tigers
Need we say more? Minnesota plays Detroit in seven of its last nine games. The Twins are 11-1 against the Tigers this season.

(Literary Masterpieces, Volume 32)
"Anthony Trollope was born on 24 April 1815 at 16 Keppek Street, Russell Square, London" is not an auspicious beginning to a major new treatment of one of England's most prolific and popular novelists. Not surprisingly, N. John Hall accepts the bulk of Trollope's autobiographical writing at face value, rigorously follows his footsteps, and refrains from attempting a comprehensive explanation of the "mysteries of the man." Indeed, Hall's readers will hardly know that mysteries exist. Having accepted Hall's clearly stated premises, one may quickly forget to remember that there should be more.
Trollope's life in many ways reflects a common pattern of experience among middle-class Victorians. Death was ever present, claiming Trollope's father and brother at early ages. Trollope was sent away to school (1823-1834) to learn little and endure much loneliness and misunderstanding. His once- prosperous family failed financially but was held together by the industry of a clever mother. Trollope was appointed clerk to the Postal Service in 1834 by virtue of family connections and there divided his efforts, working hard to establish a professional reputation while in his spare time developing his talents as a novelist. In early Victorian society both patronage and ability were necessary, and he was fortunate in having a good mixture for rising in the world.
It is easy to forget that Trollope spent more than twenty years in the civil service before achieving anything more than marginal success as an author. Official hours were long and schedules odd for a writer. As a surveyor's clerk and postal inspector, he frequently traveled remote regions of Ireland and the English west country, sometimes spending more than two-thirds of his days on the road. Yet the travel expenses kept him financially comfortable and enabled him to pursue writing without threat of starvation. Even publication of The Warden (1855), his fourth novel and, according to Hall, the turning point in Trollope's literary career, paid only 20 in royalties during its first two years in print. Stonebreaking, according to Trollope, would have been more profitable, but at least there were people around him who knew he had written a book. Having once embarked upon the novel of comfortable English characters, however, he was in his element. There appeared an occasional review or short story, the odd travel book or biography or critical study, but Trollope's staple was the novel, manufactured at the prodigious rate of almost two per year during the last twenty-five years of his life.
The detailed, descriptive method of Trollope: A Biography is perhaps better suited to its subject than to most novelists, for Trollope's genius was, in his own word, "mechanical." An author who produces almost fifty novels, most of them to "exactly prescribed limits—installments per novel, chapters per instalment, pages per chapter, words per page"—is perhaps driven by less mysterious motivations than his more erratic counterparts are. If only because his habits were regular, Trollope is more easily followed, his path more clearly discernible. Yet the very regularity of his production raises questions about the quality of his art. How can one produce art in installments when life itself is so untidy? Hall explains the apparent discrepancy by identifying characterization as the hallmark of Trollope's work. Plot and circumstance might fail in the process of serialization, but honest portraits of middle- and upper-class folk flowed from his pen with an unerring sensitivity and were not as dependent upon the structure of the work. From the 1847 publication of his first novel, The Macdermots of Ballycloran, critics recognized the gift that has remained the foundation of Trollope's fame. That his harshest criticism was reserved for Benjamin Disraeli's Lothair (1870), which included "personalities which would have disgraced the slightest novelist of the day," says as much about his literary values as about Disraeli's skill in portraiture.
Early training also helps to account for the regularity of Trollope's art. Although far from outstanding as a student, as early as 1833 he had devised a working schedule to pace his Latin studies, foreshadowing the novel outlines he methodically produced in later life. About the same time, he was noticing his mother's unequaled "power of dividing herself into two parts," daily writing novels after laboriously caring for a dying husband and son. Thus, Trollope learned early how to work according to schedule. Although he considered himself...

text: After having had my avant's undiagnosed engine malfunction diagnosed by the list as a turbo bypass valve malfunction, I tried last night what Mike Miller had suggested. That is, accelerated hard in 3rd gear to +1.5 boost and then backed off and depressed clutch simultaneously. Unfortunately, that didn't make the engine stop. The boost gauge under hard acceleration showed 1.9 bar max. I did have the previous owner test drive the car and he commented that it seemed down on mid range power. Will report to the list what this proves to be after further diagnosis. Bruce Boeder (who still likes the wagon, even if it does occasionally misbehave)

Track stars have revealed the secret to developing running speed. Most athletes simply run out of breath long before they need to stop running, because they aren't able to get the oxygen into their muscles fast enough. By taking deep breaths, and building up the supply of oxygen in your blood, you can prevent muscle cramps. As lactic acid builds up, and muscle fatigue sets in, untrained players think they've reached their limit.
Track teams, and well-coached basketball and football teams for that matter, train by sprinting short distances, over and over. It's not fun, but it works. After a few months of training, the lungs begin to process oxygen more efficiently, and players find that they can run long distances non-stop, or sprint for a longer period of time. William Jessup University athletics staff may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision. Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails. Beyond consideration for South Arkansas Community College sports, you may think about Virginia Union University online learning for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Singer Ray Collins, who helped Frank Zappa forge the sound of the Mothers of Invention, has died.
Collins, who was in his mid-70s, suffered a catastrophic heart attack.
He sang and played on the Mothers' first two albums, "Freak Out!" (1966) and "Absolutely Free" (1967).
Known for his odd but strong falsetto, Collins (center in top photo) was an early songwriting partner of Frank Zappa and later a key contributor to the Mothers' brew of satire, doo-wop and experimental music. He grew tired of the clowning and quit the band to pursue more traditional music. "Too much comedy, too much making fun of stuff," he told a local newspaper.
In 1968, he performed on Zappa's doo-wop album "Cruising With Ruben & the Jets." Collins occasionally would pop up on other Zappa projects over the next decade.
Collins and Zappa met as young musicians in California's Inland Empire, sharing a love of R&B, blues and doo-wop. Collins, who grew up in Pomona, already had worked on few pop recordings, notably singing high falsetto with Little Julian Herrera and the Tigers on "I Remember Linda," a regional hit of the late 1950s,
Collins and Zappa wrote and/or recorded several songs in 1963, before the Mothers, including Zappa's "How's Yer Bird." They co-wrote "Memories of El Monte," a riff on the Penguins' doo-wop smash "Earth Angel." They also recorded an odd comedy record as Ned & Nelda (audio below).
A few years later, Collins hired Zappa as a guitarist in an R&B bar band, which evolved into the Mothers.
Collins later sang with Geronimo Black, a group led by former Mothers drummer Jimmy Carl Black. He turned down invitations to perform with the current Grandmothers of Invention, reportedly saying he did not want to perform the music of Frank Zappa.
Collins left the music business and apparently was living in his van in Claremont, Calif., when he fell ill. "Money has always evaded me," he told an interviewer.
Collins was admitted to a Pomona hospital Dec. 18 while suffering a heart attack and died Dec. 22. He had been in a coma since Dec. 18, various sources said.

I love crackers! These are defiantly one of my favourite snacks of all time, people usually stare at me when they see me sit down with an entire sleeve of crackers but I don't care because these are a great salty treat. I prefer this brand to any other brand, I think that these taste better than others.

Yes.

Nomadas Youth Hostel Merida Reviews

A hostel with a pool? Yes, please. Jan 08, 2011
I loved this hostel! Okay, there was a night or two when I was cursing the 'fun' factor because it meant that I couldn't be fast asleep by 10 pm, but on the night that I stayed up and played cards for hours with a couple Aussies we met I wasn't complaining. Plus, it has a pool, how cool is that?
I stayed in the all girls dorm, which had 20 beds and a couple hammocks. It was incredibly spacious and had a huge bathroom with two toilets and two showers, a vanity, even a scale and a clothes rack. Each bed has a fan and a light, as well as a lock box big enough to stick my backpack in. There were also coat hooks everywhere.
The free breakfast was coffee and toast with butter and jam, and there was live music during the week from 9 pm till 10 pm. Internet was fast and free, with three computers to fight for, and the tours we booked through the hotel were all well run and decently priced. The warm water was fickle, and all but one of my showers were cold. I have to say though, the shower that wasn't cold was incredibly hot, hotter than I get at home. It was lovely.
I loved that atmosphere here, and wouldn't stay anywhere else if I were to plan another visit to Merida. My best advice - pack bug spray!! I got eaten alive by the mosquitoes, and didn't even know it until it was too late.

Pleasant hostel with great garden pool and atmosphere Aug 16, 2011
In Merida we stayed at the Nomadas Youth Hostel which is bookable on many hostel booking sites. Not many hostels call themselves "youth" hostels anymore. At our age, we certainly took the "youth" out of it when we checked in!
For two people, it was very economical to have a private room with ensuite. Our room was next to the courtyard and it was slightly noisy on one out of three nights ... so it depends on the company that you have. We hear that the rooms on the front can be noisy from traffic.
From the road and the hostel's facade, you'd never imagine that it would have a large garden with a giant tree and a lovely pool. Its the magic of Spanish town-planning with large square blocks which permit each property to have land behind.
The ensuite was new and clean ... we didn't inspect the shared facilities. There is a kitchen for those who wish to cook for themselves.
The place overall was clean enough and I'd certainly recommend it as it has a lovely atmosphere.
If there is any criticism, it's because it gets quite hot in Merida. Some people may be more comfortable with air-conditioning but it was borderline bearable for us in mid-August.

Phrecipe Directory
Phrecipes are photo-supported recipes. Think of it as you would My First Picture Dictionary–the images explain the words. The majority of these phrecipes are baking recipes because that is my stress reliever from infertility. Sometimes you just need to pound some dough. The minority of these recipes are cake decorating and candy recipes (my other IF stress-reliever. I even got a cake decorating degree while going through treatments the first time). If you have phrecipes you'd like me to cover, I take requests. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you end up trying any of these recipes, please blog about it and then send me a link so I can add it to the end of the recipe. Sort of the equivalent of the opinion section of Epicurious or Food Network.

Imagine waking to the ground shaking. Things falling and breaking, entire buildings swaying if not falling. Cracks opening up in roadways, bridges falling, power lines down, water lines rupturing. It's a scene out of many disaster movies.
We have all seen scenes like this play out in movies time and time again, In fact there is a new movie coming out in May that will highlight a major disaster in this country and highlight how one hero will be shown to be the saving grace for many. Hollywood likes to focus on one action hero saving many, but in reality, many true hero's that will likely arise is a situation like this. Everyday people who will come together and work as a team to help each other out until other help arrives!!
I think the majority of people understand that when and if something bad happens where you live, there never will be enough, firefighters, law enforcement officers, utility workers, road crews, nurses, and the list goes on.
It's easy to stick our heads in the sand and pretend something bad wont happen, but the reality is, it could happen anytime. Understanding the risk, just as in any risk is important in the choices we make. Personally I prefer being part of the solution, not the problem.
Surviving a major disaster will take everyone coming together and working together to responding as a neighborhood, and community to ensure those who need help the most get it along with getting us back on our feet.
I recently completed CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) Training. The basic skills I learned from preparedness, to basic first aid, fire suppression and search and rescue techniques can really come in handy, not only when the bad thing happens but in how I look at everyday situations
Our next class is coming up in April. Do you have what it takes to help be part of the solution and be a true hero when emergencies happen? For More information on CERT, please see www.fema.gov/community-emergency-response-teams.

Early decision is a legally binding commitment, meaning students must withdraw their applications to all other schools if accepted. There are penalties for withdrawing, so Early Decision is only for students who are certain about wanting to attend a specific school. Admitting early decision applicants benefits schools because there is a high probability that the admitted applicants will attend.
In addition, early decision helps the college admissions offices distribute the job of sifting applications throughout more of the school year. Thus, applying via Early Decision carries a greater chance of receiving an acceptance letter, almost 15% higher than regular decision applicants. One drawback is that early decision is essentially applying blind, as regards the amount of financial aid that you might receive. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider William Jewell College SAT subject tests for complementary electives to your primary course of study.
