Who is Benjamin Franklin?
The image that most people have is somewhat of a caricature. His image on the $100 bill is responsible for the slang term "Benjamins", as well as referring to the creation of wealth itself. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of pictures of Benjamin Franklin.
But there was much more to this man than a slang term or a cartoonish image of a bald man flying a kite in a storm. It is fair to say that he accomplished more in his life than any other American, especially given the era in which he lived when life was much simpler and technology virtually non-existent.
Born in Boston in 1706, Franklin had no formal education and only spent two years in any kind of school as a child. He never attended any college and taught himself everything he knew including the ability to read four other languages besides English: French, Spanish, Latin, and Italian.
Franklin is best known for his work with the Continental Congress and all of the founding documents of the United States of America. He helped draft the Declaration of Independence and the U.S Constitution, and negotiated the Treaty of Paris 1783, which officially ended of the Revolutionary War.
If you polled most Americans, a surprising number would say he was President of the United States at one time. However, Franklin was never a real politician although he was appointed to the Governorship of Pennsylvania when he returned from France as the unofficial first ambassador of the United States.
Franklin was one of the greatest inventors and statesmen the country has ever known. In terms of the sheer number of practical inventions, he is only surpassed by the great inventors such as Edison and Tesla.
Here are a few facts about Benjamin Franklin to give you a better appreciation of the man.
Benjamin Franklin Childhood
Franklin always had an interest in writing and when he began working at his brother's print shop, he wrote a series of articles at the age of 14. When his brother refused to publish his work, he started using pseudonyms for his writing such as "Mrs. Silence Dogood" and "Polly Baker". He was finally able to get himself published in her brother's newspaper The New England Courant at age 16, with a controversial series of letters entitled "Silence Dogood". His brother was furious.
By the age of 22, Franklin had his own paper, the Pennsylvania Gazette. His printingCredit: Opensource company was responsible for printing the paper money that was used by the colonies of Pennsylvania and Delaware.[1]
While still in his 20s, Franklin was made Postmaster of Philadelphia, which helped him circulate his own newspaper and writings.
Franklin amassed real estate holdings and various businesses during the first half of his life that were so successful, he retired at age 42 a wealthy man at the time. He devoted the rest of his life to being an inventor, scientists and statesmen.
Benjamin Franklin Inventions
What did Benjamin Franklin invent? Perhaps a better question would be what did he not invent. After his retirement in his early 40s, he was very active in his personal pursuits.
Franklin invented something called the "busybody" in Philadelphia that can still be seen today on the sides of many buildings in the city. The idea was to see who was at your door without looking through your window and exposing yourself to an unwanted guest.
The design was simple. Three small mirrors are arranged at right angles on an iron frame and attached on the outside of an upstairs window.[1] This allowed the homeowner to look out of the upstairs window at the mirrors and see who was knocking.
Franklin invented a type of writing chair which was simply a chair with an attached arm on one side with a surface to write on. This type of device is still used today in many learning centers.
Perhaps the first remote control system for anything, Franklin invented a system of pulleys that allowed him to lock and unlock his bedroom door without getting out of bed.
He also improved the design of street lamps at the time which tended to look hazy through the glass blocking a lot of the light. He fitted four panes of glass with an open top and bottom to allow more air to circulate through the lamp.[4]Credit: Opensource
He developed the first known set of Bifocal glasses. It is said that he got the idea because when we was having dinner with guests at the table, he couldn't make out the food on his plate and recognize the faces of the people at the table at the same time.[4]
Franklin was a musician who taught himself the violin, harp, and guitar and even became a composer, his most famous musical creation being a string quartet called "Simplicity".
He also created the first original musical instrument in America, something called the glass harmonica, not to be confused with the regular harmonica at the time. This device was a large standing glass device.
Finally, he fitted a regular chair with curved pieces of wood to make the first rocking chair.
Five Amazing Inventions by Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin Education
At age 21, Franklin and a philosophical association he was a member of agreed to form a lending library, the first one of its kind in the colonies.[3] They recognized that their combined purchasing power would led to greater knowledge among the members if they could read each other's purchases rather than having to go out and buy the books themselves. The lending library originally included 50 subscribers.
Did Benjamin Franklin go to college?
No, but in 1751 he founded a school that was designed to focus on English composition and grammar. During its first year, 100 students enrolled. In 1755 it was chartered as a college and in 1791 officially became the University of Pennsylvania.[1]
Franklin proposed that the English alphabet be tweaked. His idea was to eliminate the letters C, J, Q, W, X and Y because they were redundant in his view. It never caught on though.[1]
Throughout his life, he earned honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford University in England, and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.[4]

Benjamin Franklin Civic Leader
In 1726, Franklin organized the first volunteer fire department called The Union Fire Company.[3] In addition, he wrote and published articles with fire safety tips. At the time, fire was the number one cause of destruction and death in homes and buildings. He stressed that an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Some of his practical advice included telling people to carry hot coals from one floor to the next in a closed warming pan so as not to drop embers that would spark up later in the dry wood of the home.
In 1762, Franklin mapped the entire colonial postal routes through the 13 original colonies.
Franklin the Electrician
Franklin's scientific pursuits included investigations into electricity and mathematics. If he had done nothing else in his life, Franklin would be remembered as the first electrician in Credit: OpensourceAmerica.
Franklin invented the first practical application of what he called a "battery" because it looked like a cannon battery.
During his research, he had to create new terminology as he went along in his experiments with electricity. As many as 25 current electrical terms still in use today can be traced back to Franklin. Examples include brush, charged, conductor, plus and minus and positive and negative charges.[3]
He conducted the famous kite-and-key experiment in 1752 after some of his findings and observations on electricity were published in England in 1753.
Concerned about the lightning damage being done to many buildings at the time which usually resulted in fires that spread to other buildings, he used his knowledge of electricity to create the lighting rod to redirect lighting from the tops of buildings down into the ground through a wire.
It is likely if not for sheer luck, we would have never known the greatness of Ben Franklin is his later years. As he experimented with electricity, it was all trial and error and he was nearly killed by his early experiments. He was knocked cold twice and was only saved by managing to take the entire charge through his hands and arms.
Franklin's "single fluid theory" led to the electron theory in 1900 which stated that electrons move about conductors much as a fluid might move. At the time, Nobel Prize winner Robert A. Millikan called Franklin's early experiments with glass tubes "probably the most fundamental thing ever done in the field of electricity".[3]
Franklin the Statesmen and Diplomat
Franklin was named as a foreign diplomat for the Pennsylvania Assembly in England, and later for the Massachusetts, Georgia and New Jersey.[1]
By the 1760's, he was actively involved in independence movement for the colonies.
He is considered the first US Ambassador to France even before the nation was officially a country. There he lobbied intensely for French intervention in the war and secured funding, soldiers for hire and eventually, intervention by the French navy.
His adeptness at diplomacy is credited for leading to the peace treaty with England in 1783 and other foreign alliances and trade treaties.
Benjamin Franklin in France
Franklin the Business Man
Franklin began publishing a yearly almanac under the pseudonym "Poor Richard" in 1732.[2] It was a bestselling pamphlet in the colonies for almost 30 years during Franklin's life. It consisted of news stories in a serial format so that the reader would want to see what happened in the next edition, as well as practical advice on seasonal weather forecasts, practical household hints and puzzles.
He also invented a fireplace called the Pennsylvania Fireplace that was first marketed in 1742, but Franklin himself refused any personal profits for it. The heating stove was more efficient at distributing heat throughout the home, however it never caught on because of its complex design.
In 1751, Franklin organized the first insurance company in the colonies called the Philadelphia Contributorship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss By Fire.[3]

Final Thoughts
Benjamin Franklin died on April 17, 1790 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By then he was in bad health and virtually incapacitated.
His legacy is one that is hard to match, especially given the era he lived when life was simpler, but much harder. In a time when it took months to travel overseas or weeks to go from one city to another by horse, Franklin made the most of his 84 years traveling multiple times across the Atlantic to England and France and all over the new colonies.
He is directly responsible for founding universities, libraries and the U.S. Postal System. He was extremely instrumental in shaping the early foreign policy of the new nation as well as helping draft the Declaration of Independence, which is all the more remarkable given that he never finished school or had any formal education.

I don't frequent Gawker, because it is essentially a New York City gossip blog and I hear my fair share of gossip around the water cooler, but on occasion one of their writers will whip something together that strikes up some interest. In this case, Ravi Somaiya wrote up an article titled "Why Aren't Conservatives Funny?," and it's an interesting observation, one worth discussing.
But there is no good right-slanted Onion, or Daily Show or Bill Maher and no right-wing satirist who can nail liberals like Stephen Colbert nails conservatives. In 2007 Fox tried to launch a show to take on Comedy Central (despite Jon Stewart, in particular, sniping across political lines). The 1/2 Hour News Hour, marked by canned laughter, was described as "so heavy handed that it seems almost like self-parody," and was quickly cancelled.
If the Teabuggers, whose idea of hilarity is at the 'dress up funny' level of high-school skits, are the cutting edge, the new generation, then prospects are not looking good for the future either.
Maybe it's because absurdity and hypocrisy – staples of political humor – are far more prevalent on the right. If a family-values conservative gets caught with a wide-stance in an airport bathroom stall, or claims to be "hiking the Appalachian trail" when he's in fact schtupping the Argentinian woman, that is amusing. When liberals cheat or lie it tends to be far more mundane.
I remember when the 1/2 Hour News Hour aired a couple of years back and I checked it out, just out of curiosity, even if I felt a little guilty for giving Fox News my share of a ratings boost. It was painful, a total mess of a show, and not just because what they poked fun at didn't align with my political views. It was just miserably unfunny. Hop on YouTube and you can verify this. It was no wonder that it was cancelled very early in its run.
The writer goes on to examine the recently arrested James O'Keefe who considers himself a humorist as well as an investigative journalist, but he just isn't funny, and is lowbrow at best. As the writer examines, it could be his having grown up "in a wealthy bubble, in slacks and blazers from the cradle up," which he says is "almost a prerequisite of conservatism" and when "the toughest experience you've had is Juanita ironing an inadequate crease into your golf pants even though you've told her about this before, you may struggle to wield the comedy of universal experience."
An interesting point, although I grew up in a lower to middle class rural town, where conservatism is the standard and people share anti-liberal emails with loved ones on a daily basis, probably somewhat as a result of the rampant religion and a misunderstanding of how government works in general – the typical Confederate flag waving "stay out of my business" attitude towards the government, unless the government is providing them with food stamps and social security.
I do get a lot of laughs from conservatives though – but why is it that I only find them funny when they don't mean to be? Hell, the only conservative comedian I can think of, Dennis Miller, lost his edge when he "converted" to conservatism or whatever it was he changed about himself after 9/11 that all of the sudden made him a Bush supporter and Fox News regular.
Maybe it's just because conservatives provide liberals with plenty of ammo for their jokes, or maybe liberals just tend to be more art-oriented, or maybe it's just a complete coincidence. Whatever the case, the right will continue to risk alienating the malleable minds of the younger generation by being irrelevant, because just as everyone knows humor can win the heart of a woman, humor can win over the minds of the young and undecided.
Feel free to chime in with your thoughts.

I really don't know much about Massachusetts Senator-Elect Scott Brown, other than he is the Republican Senator filling Ted Kennedy's seat, he used to drive a truck and model for Cosmo, and the teabaggers support him. Oh, and his daughters are, like, totally single.
While giving his nationally-televised speech following his win in Massachusetts, Brown's comments took a serious note when he spoke of his two young daughters: "Just in case anyone who's watching throughout the country, yes they're both available."
And I was kind of wondering, because there is nothing that I like more than corrupting young conservative women. Senator Brown, expect a formal proposal along with a dowry of $170, some frankincense, and a camel in your mail by next week sometime.
Not all are going to be standing in line for their hands in marriage though. Glenn Beck on his radio show made known his distaste for Brown offering up his daughters to the highest bidder. "This one could end with a dead intern," Beck tastefully said of Brown's election. "I want a chastity belt on this man. I want his every move watched in Washington. I don't trust this guy. … Let's put an ankle bracelet on him. Let's know where he is at all times."
Beck has made his voice heard, so it's only a matter of time before even the teabaggers turn on Senator Brown… and I steal his daughter's heart.

I was flipping through channels today and absolutely had to stop on Fox News because Geraldo Rivera was on. What a mustache that guy has! It's like Snidely Whiplash.
Anyways, on the bottom of Fox News I noticed a number ticking away and getting larger by the second. Then when I read the title of the number I was terrified! The number that was growing was our national debt, thanks to those dirty Democrats. Oh, no! What should I do?! "That number has place values I never even learned about before," I thought to myself. "No wonder all the analysts at Fox News are so angry. Look at all the money we're spending that we don't have!"
Fortunately in my excitement I jumped up from the couch. When I sat back down, I sat on my own testicles and it hurt so badly that it made me remember this.
"What is this?" say you, who are too lazy to click on the link and read. It's the 3 trillion dollars we spent on a war we entered under false pretenses.
Idiots. (Except you, Geraldo)

I hope your knee is feeling better. I know exactly the pain you were feeling. I was at a friend's house a couple years ago, got too aggressive playing badminton, and fell right on my right knee. Wham! It swelled right up and stayed like that for a couple weeks, despite the icing every night. I still have yet to go to the doctor to have them look at my knee, and the crunching is getting worse. :-(

Somehow I missed this post... Years ago I broke my foot by falling on the rain slick marble floor leading into my office. I chalked it up to beiing a clutz... my boss insisted I file Worker's Comp and danged if I didn't get a rather nice settlement. Hope that knee is getting better and glad you had something to watch while letting it heal!

Today was possibly the best day of my life. I am currently on my phone writing this on the WordPress app, mum is making coffee in the kitchen and the children are snuggled up on the sofa under a blanket watching TV. We're all really tired out from today. So today we…
Today we were going to get cinema tickets but we decided it was to nicer weather so instead we went on a mystery ride.
The children didn't know where we were going so they took pictures on my phone to try and guess.
These pictures are views from the car. At this point we are about a 20 minute drive away from home (we are very lucky where we live).
Finally we got out the car and started walking through woodland.
We came to a small café where we ate a large snack. Me and mum shared a cream tea while my children had some cake (sorry for not having any pictures of the café, my children were to busy eating cake for taking photos. Then we went to see a waterfall. The waterfall was a shrine to people who wanted a blessing.
As you can see the waterfall fell through a hole in the rock. We saw a tree with money stuck in it so we stuck a ten pence coin in it ourselves. (second picture, the closest silver coin to the bottom left hand corner is our ten pence.
Here are some more photos of the shrine and the waterfall.
Then we walked back up the treacherous path and on the way spotted some bright red mushrooms.
When we got home we all had hot chocolate and snuggled together to view the photos we had taken. Thank you kids for your amazing photography skills (they are looking over my shoulder at my screen now while I'm typing this).

Have you thought about decorating for Valentine's Day? The other day I was thinking what could we do to add a little decoration to celebrate the up coming holiday. Well how about a garland? Instead of an ordinary construction paper I had some Valentine's Day ribbon that I had no idea what to do with. So, I put the two together and decided to make a Valentine's Day garland out of ribbon.
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Stapler
1. Start by cutting up your ribbon into the same size strips. I used 4 inch pieces.
2. Then place 2 pieces right sides together. Staple one end. Next pull around making a heart shape and staple other end.
3. Add two pieces to your starter piece. Place them right sides facing the starter piece and staple at the bottom. Pull two pieces around to form a heart, then staple.
4. Repeat.
5. This is what it should look like. Super easy and fast.

Dear Santa,
As we approach your busiest day of the year, I hope you may have time to read my "letter" and help deliver some sports-related gifts.
I know the miracle of technology allows for information to reach you at the North Pole faster these days so I'm sure you will have time to scan this, even though Christmas is just four days away.
Have a great trip around the world Saturday night/Sunday morning and I look forward to some of these gifts possibly being delivered.

B. Is the choice to live subjective and arbitrary?
C. The choice to live and the objectivity of values
A. The paradox of meaning and its resolution
B. The content of one's life
C. Primary purposes as sources of meaning
D. Achievement and experience as poles of purpose
E. The loss of meaning: depression and suicide
A. The tyranny of purposes and bad faith
B. Choosing one's purposes
But first, the theory....
- 1) Life is a value because one chooses it; and
- 2) One chooses life because it is a value.
On the second alternative, life is inherently a value because of our nature as living beings. We recognize life as a value by the same means—reason looking at reality—that we grasp any other value. Of course humans must choose their values, since they act by choice, but the point of ethics is to guide our choices in light of the facts of reality. If so, choosing to live is just as much an obligation as choosing to be honest, and a person can be faulted if he does not choose life. Indeed, since life is the ultimate moral value, and since death is a state of nonexistence, there can be no greater fault.
B. Is the choice subjective and arbitrary?
- Value is that which one acts to gain and/or keep. The concept 'value' is not a primary; it presupposes an answer to the question: of value to whom and for what. It presupposes an entity capable of acting to achieve a goal in the face of an alternative. (Virtue of Selfishness, 15)
- i) A value is a goal, something that is sought.
ii) A value requires a valuer capable of initiating action for the goal.
iii) The valuer must face an alternative: success or failure in achieving the goal must make a difference; achieving the goal must confer some benefit on the valuer and failure must bring some loss.
it was past four o'clock and my brain had begun to endure its familiar siege: panic and dislocation, and a sense that my thought processes were being engulfed by a toxic and unnamable tide that obliterated any enjoyable response to the living world. (Styron, )
- If it were true, that old legend about appearing before a Supreme Judge and naming one's record, I would offer with all my pride, not any act I committed, but the one thing I have never done on this earth: that I had never sought an outside sanction. I would stand and say, I am Gail Wynand, the man who has committed every crime except the foremost one: that of ascribing futility to the wonderful fact of existence, and seeking justification beyond myself. This is my pride: that now, thinking of the end, I do not cry like all the other men of my age 'But what was the use? And what was the meaning?' I was the use and the meaning. I, Gail Wynand; that I lived, that I acted.

Pirates of the Caribbean
Attraction Stats
Boat Ride
Ride Length: 10 Minutes
Great for Kids, Teens, Adults
Open since December 15, 1973
Location: Adventureland, Magic Kingdom
Dead men tell no tales in this classic Disney World boat ride.
In Pirates of the Caribbean, passengers follow the adventures of Jack Sparrow and witness the life of a pirate. See iconic scenes and hear the classic sounds in this flagship ride. While this ride is friendly to all ages, the subject matter, presence of darkness, and a short drop might scare some more timid guests.
Tips and Trivia
- This ride inspired a series of Pirates of the Caribbean movies, which then in turn inspired new additions to the ride.
When someone thinks of a ride at Disney World, chances are Pirates of the Caribbean is going to be one of the first two or three that they think about. It's for a good reason. This beloved boat ride provides unique and entertaining visuals, mixed in with a bit of humor. While the ride was recently updated to include scenes and characters from the popular movie franchise, much of the initial charm of the ride remains. This is a must-experience ride just for its iconic nature to new guests to the park. Your mileage might vary for repeat visits, as it is not the most exciting ride out there. However, a trip to the Magic Kingdom is not complete without one boat ride. Yo ho!

The British Museum collection of gothic
ivory carvings
Project team
- Naomi Speakman, project leader
- John Rassweiler, project curator
Department of Britain, Europe and Prehistory

Gothic ivory carvings are delicate and highly prized items from the medieval period, which had a variety of religious and secular functions, such as a tool for private prayer or a romantic gift to a lady. They ranged from devotional diptychs and triptychs, croziers and statuettes to caskets, combs and mirror cases.
The British Museum owns one of the largest collections of gothic ivory carvings in the world, with a store of over 200 objects. A complete survey of these pieces has not been undertaken since 1909, but today curators are re-visiting these objects to make new insights and discoveries in this field. Together with the Gothic Ivories Project at the Courtauld Institute of Art, the British Museum is working to catalogue its collection and make it accessible through the Collection online and in the Courtauld online Gothic Ivories catalogue.
This includes providing high resolution images of the carvings and a review of the datation of these ivories, seeking to provide new, in-depth research into the provenance, bibliography and iconography of the pieces.
Further information
187 catalogue entries of the British Museum's gothic ivory collection can be viewed online through the Courtauld Gothic Ivories Project.
International Medieval Conference, Leeds, July 2011
The British Museum gothic ivories collection was presented by Naomi Speakman in the lecture 'Forgery and Authenticity: Gothic Ivory Carvings from the British Museum'.

Just how much Will the Website name Price?
The initial step of having any kind of web site or even weblog heading would be to sign-up the website name having a site sign-up. The particular procedure for signing up the site is extremely fast and simple actually for that complete newbie. As with any kind of brand new effort you are worried about such a website name can cost you.
Unregistered Domains tend to be Inexpensive
Your own standard web person stays much more from their own nearby espresso home inside a 7 days than the usual website will definitely cost all of them to have an whole 12 months. To join up a normal aged unregistered. com website name will set you back correct regarding $10 annually. That is just about all. With regard to $10 annually you could have your personal distinctive website you can use for any web site or even weblog, to produce e-mail through and also to manufacturer included in a company. Actually the actual website name is usually the least expensive a part of any kind of online technique.
Authorized Domains could possibly get Very costly
With regards to purchasing one currently authorized through another person we are referring to an entire various ballgame. There are lots of instances exactly where domain names happen to be offered for a lot of huge amount of money. In the event that somebody currently includes a website name which you are looking at authorized you will have to get in touch with as well as work out straight along with who owns which site. You will find, so far as I will inform, absolutely no guidelines with regards to this kind of site buy. It is real capitalism. Everything generally boils down in order to determining exactly what that individual is actually prepared to market this with regard to as well as that which you are prepared to spend. In the event that who owns the site will not market the site he or she is the owner of for under $10, 000, and also you are just prepared to spend $100, after that you are simply from good fortune. It is provide as well as need from it's easiest. There's among every site (each is actually unique) as well as your degree of need as well as your spending budget may know what you are prepared to spend.
Do not obtain as well strung on obtaining that certain "perfect" website name. In the event that somebody currently offers this authorized, and when these people are prepared to market this, you may be taking a look at a few severe cash. However they might have no make use of for this and may market this for you about the inexpensive simply to have it away their own fingers. Just method to understand would be to request. My personal recommendation is actually, particularly if you're a new comer to the actual site as well as web site online game, discover one which is actually unregistered which functions for you personally as well as keep the profit your own wallet. Keep in mind, this content of the web site is actually what is most significant.

According to my five guys, you can't make a meal, even light breakfast, without protein. So here are three options in croissant pastry from a recent bakarji trip. Frikadelle Broodje (a sausage in bread), Sate Broodje (peanut-sauced meat Dutch-Indian style), and Ragout Broodje (inexplicable savory mash-up, reminiscent of pot-roast stew). All crowd pleasers at mi casa.

Sundays Schedule
True Blood which is on at 9 PST on HBO. Last nights episode is called "New World is In My View." First of all Jason and Sam looked good in this episode and Maryann is driving me crazy, I can't wait until they kill her. This season has had no dull moments and each episode has left off with a cliff hanger, sadly there are only two episodes left. In last nights episode Sookie, Bill and Jason return to a Bon Temps turned upside down by Maryann. Lured to Merlotte's by Arlene, Sam and Andy find cold comfort in their refuge from a group of bloodthirsty revelers. Bill discovers that traditional vampire techniques don't work on Maryann; Hoyt and Jessica try to keep a lid on Maxine's madness; Sookie tries to push through the darkness consuming Tara. With all hell breaking loose, Jason takes the bull by the horns to rescue Sam, at least for the moment.
Hung is on at 10 PST on HBO. This show funny and has really gotten me interested in seeing if Ray will get caught by the police, if he'll get his life together, or if he'll finally be able to fix his house. Last nights episode is called "You Come Just Right" and after standing him up, Jemma tells Ray maybe they should take a break, and Ray seeks out Tanya for advice on women. Meanwhile, Tanya finds her new boyfriend Pierce to be a man of mystery. Attending a family barbeque at Jessica and Ronnie's, Ray finds himself in an uncomfortable place. After seeing her classified ad, Lenore gives Tanya some unwanted feedback on her marketing strategy, which leads Tanya to take a more personal approach.
Drop Dead Diva is on at 9 PST on Lifetime. I wasn't sure about this show but I started hearing good things about it so I checked it out and I do really like it and recommend it to you. This show is funny and had its sad moments, and it also has the aspects of a law show. I can't wait for Jane to tell Grayson that she's really Debb.
My Antonio is on at 10:30 PST on VH1. This is not your typical reality dating show, first because I have not seen one challenge. In last night's episode everyone was still buzzing over the shock of Tully's arrival, Antonio's first wife. But the shock turns to horror, as Sarah has an emotional breakdown in the middle of the night. Antonio seeks out Tully and they have their first conversation after being estranged for nearly 20 years. Tully begs for a second chance. Antonio doesn't trust her motives for being here. But he reluctantly agrees to let her stay.
What's On Tonight
True Blood is back this week on HBO at 9 PST. Tonight's episode is called "Shake and Fingerpop" and it starts with Bill and Sookie heading to Dallas to carry out Eric's vampire-reconnaissance mission, but a surprise awaits them at the airport. At the Light of Day Institute, Jason falls victim to a practical joke, but has the last laugh when the Newlins anoint him for a higher calling. Maryann throws Tara a birthday party at Sookie's, attracting much of Bon Temps to its Bacchanalian revelry. Sam postpones his departure from town to attend the bash, connecting with Daphne in the process. Having barely escaped Fangtasia, Lafayette finds himself reluctantly pulled back into Eric's orbit. I can't wait, it looks good.
Hung is on at 10PST on HBO and tonight is the second episode called, "Great Sausage" or "Can I Call You Dick?" where in an effort to market Ray as a high-end "happiness consultant," Tanya tracks down a former law-firm colleague named Lenore, who agrees to take Ray for a test ride in exchange for the names and numbers of wealthy women. Meanwhile, Jessica's obsessive behavior grates on her kids, who push Ray to fix his fire-damaged house. A local contractor promises Ray a "Wolf Pack" discount for repairs, but money mismanagement has Ray strapped for cash. That all could change after Ray's session with Lenore or so he and Tanya hope. I saw the first episode and it was good, interesting, and like no other show out right now.
What's On Tonight
True Blood is on tonight at 9 PST on HBO. Tonight's episode is called "Keep This Party Going" where Sookie is forced to cope with Bill's obligations to Jessica, as well as the romantic inconveniences the teen vampire's presence creates. At the Light of Day leadership conference, Jason makes a favorable impression on its ambitious leaders, Steve and Sarah Newlin, though not on his jealous roommate Luke. Maryann casts her spell on the Merlotte's patrons, and Sam proves helpless to stop the revelry. I can't wait.
Kendra at 10 PST on E! Tonight's episode is called "Lust in America" and is about Kendra and Hank embarking on a road trip back to LA after visiting his parents in New Mexico. They stop in Roswell to explore the supernatural mysteries surrounding the town.
What's On Tonight
Sunday 6/14
The season premiere of True Blood is on tonight at 9 PST on HBO and I'm so excited to watch this. This show is great. I love the vampires, the sex, Sookies ability to read minds, Sam's secret ability, and all the sexy men.
Kendra will be on also at 10 PST on E! This is a reality show fallowing the ex of Huge Hefner, Kendra Wilkinson as she goes out on her own, gets engaged and starts planning her wedding. This show is funny. Some news on Kendra is that she is pregnant, exciting, wait actually not really.
Shows to watch this summer
The top shows to watch this summer are
True Blood
I've been waiting for this show to come back on since the season finale. Returns this Sunday at 9 PST on HBO.
This was good the last few seasons. It has a slow premiere but I'm hoping for it to pick up. This show is back on Mondays at 10 PST on Showtime.
This is a new medical mystery on Fox about a new psychiatrist Director. Has a bit of a House feel, it's worth a watch. It's on Tuesdays at 9 PST.
Nurse Jackie
This is a new show on Showtime Mondays at 9:30 PST about a nurse. I wasn't sure about it at first but I saw the first two episodes and they were good so I will keep on watching.
The Listener
This is a new show on NBC Thursdays at 10 PST I saw the first two episodes which is about Toby, a paramedic that can read minds. This show is different in the way that he reads minds. He's a telepath but he sees what people think, he sees what they are going through, doesn't just hear it, and people call out to his mind for help. Its a pretty good show for the summer.
Better off Ted
A show about Ted, a good guy who runs reasearch and development at a morally questionable company. It's a cute show with a few good laughs. I enjoy the characters and the fact that Portia de Rossi is in it. Worth a watch. Returns to ABC 6/23 Tuesdays at 9:30 PST.
Project Runway
Season 6 is coming back August 20th to Lifetime, The new season will have many changes, including being hosted in Los Angeles for the first time. There will also be a spin off which will be Models of the Runway, which focuses on the glamazons who flaunt the designers' creations each week.
Mad Men
This critics' fav is coming back for a third season August 16 in its usual slot on Sundays at 10 pm PST on AMC. What will be different this season? Absolutely nothing….and we will all tune in religiously for the sex, booze, and awkward silences.

If this isn't something you're already doing, you'll likely be surprised by how quickly and easily candlestick charting can be picked up. And at the very least, it's worth learning as a way to gain a new point of view on the forex pairings you track.
There Are Numerous Other Factors Related To The Markets In General Or To The Implementation Of Any Specific Trading Program Which Cannot Be Fully Accounted For In The Preparation Of Hypothetical Performance Results And All Which Can Adversely Affect Trading Results.
Trading itself doesn't have to be difficult, but if you are manually trading or using outdated methods, you're making trading harder than it should be. Consider applying relevant tools and services to your trading strategy in order to make consistent profits easier.
The client graphical user interface of the electronic trading platforms can be used to trade currencies , equities , futures , or options and are also sometimes called trading turrets (though this may be a misuse of the term, as some refer to the specialized PBX phones used by traders).
By combining what we believe to be the industry's best forex trading platforms with our client-centric business model, we offer our traders the opportunity to benefit from rapid execution and professional trading conditions in an environment of fairness and transparency.
Aimed at those who are completely new to Forex, this book will take you by the hand and walk you step by step through the core fundamentals of Forex, and trading in general – enabling you to lay a solid foundation of learning from which you can build upon.
According to Bank Negara's website, a forex trading scheme refers to the buying or selling of foreign currency by an individual or company in Malaysia with any person who is not a licensed onshore bank, or who has not obtained the approval of the central bank, subject to the Financial Services Act 2013 or Islamic Financial Services Act 2013.
Their websites are shut down, no response to telephone calls and this goes on for a month or so. Finally we decided to speak to the bank to report a fraudulent transaction and then do expect a call from Mayfair informing us that we have been trading actively though we haven't.

Since Salzburg is a major gateway into some of the best skiing resorts in Austria, the city's airport is the busiest during the winter season. Most of the airline operations and facilities can be found at the Terminal 1 building at Salzburg Airport. The new smaller Terminal 2 is dedicated for seasonal flights, especially charter service.Being the second biggest airport in Austria, Salzburg Airport is naturally a hub for Austria Airlines. The flag carrier for Austria connects the city of Salzburg with the country's capital Vienna. The trip to Austria's capital is one of the few scheduled flights that are offered all year long at this airport. During the summer season, passengers at Salzburg can get away to beautiful Greek islands such as Corfu and Zakynthos. Additionally, the popular Turkish resort of Antalya is also listed on the Austrian Airlines seasonal schedule.The busiest airline at Salzburg Airport is Niki. Although the company is based at this airport, the carrier is owned by Germany's second largest airline, Air Berlin. Niki specializes in flights to vacation hot spots such as the Spanish Balearic Islands and Canary Islands as well as Egypt's Red Sea cities of Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh. In fact, the trips to these resort destinations are actually offered all year long by Niki.Salzburg Airport is served well by major airline companies from Austria's good neighbor Germany. Air Berlin offers year round trips to Berlin, Dusseldorf, and Hamburg. Germanwings offers direct flights to Cologne and Lufthansa takes passengers to Frankfurt. TUIfly operates seasonal trips to Hamburg and Finland's capital Helsinki.British tourists are well connected to Salzburg Airport because the airport is served by several major airlines from the United Kingdom. The list includes British Airways, Flybe, Monarch, Jet2, Thomson Airways, and Thomas Cook Airlines. These carriers offer flights to major cities such as Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, London, and Manchester.Other European airline companies that serve Salzburg Airport include Ireland's Aer Lingus and Ryanair as well as Norwegian Air Shuttle and Scandinavian Airlines from the Scandinavian region.The ski resorts in Salzburg are popular enough to attract service from multiple Russian airlines. Aeroflot offers flights to the Russian capital Moscow and Rossiya operates trips to St. Petersburg. Transaero, Ural Airlines, and Yakutia offer additional seasonal service between Salzburg Airport and Russia.

Stanford University, the American Embassy in Belize, National Taiwan Living Art Center, Pittsburg Center for the Arts, Suzhou Art & Design Technology Institute China, the University of South Florida, Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, Florida Atlantic University the Columbus Museum of Art, the Academy Art Museum and the Cranbrook Academy of Art Museum.

Re: No Monitor
Not MIDI MacBook Sierra 10.12.6 MOTU Lite AVB Using a keyboard, record button is enabled, I have a signal and can hear the song and keyboard through monitors and headphones. Software Monitoring is on, Input 3/4, Stereo Output on. But when I push play, I can hear the other instruments coming through monitors and headphones but not the keyboard anymore. I can still record the keyboards and can hear it back once I'm finished. I didn't have this problem recording guitars.

Re: Logic 10.4.5 update is here!
Looking through the (lengthy) release notes, it's clear that while the track bumps are cool, the real news in this update is the many bugfixes, performance improvements, and small features that may not be as attention-getting but can really enhance workflow. We all love to carp about bugs and issues , and I've seen many people post how "Apple should stop worrying about new features and concentrate on stability and performance for a while.." -- and it seems that's just what they did here! Among the notes are mentions of a host of situations where there should be improved responsiveness -- are people noticing that?

Re: have the last final cut pro software
I'm afraid this isn't possible. A sequence of commands would do what you want, something like jump to next marker, move back five seconds, mark in, move forward ten seconds, mark out, favorite, but it's not totally straightforward. You'd need a third party app to wrap that together. Command Post might be able to this, or help you do it. It might be worth asking this question on the Command Post Facebook group? Good luck!

It's possible you're exporting to a format that your Mac can't play back very well? Maybe try going to another format and see if the problem persists?

Re: How can I get multiple audio clips to playback one at a time with a click in the right time signature?
I haven't used MainStage for a while, but it seems like the way to accomplish this would be to have each song in its own Playback Plugin at the Set level (if you need to switch other Patches during the song) or the Patch level, rather than at the Concert level -- I would think that changing Sets/Patches for each song would then use the correct tempo for that song..? Maybe worth a try, if you haven't already sussed it out.. :-)

Zuken Inc. will bring its corporate event held in major cities across the world, 'Zuken Innovation World' to India this year. The roadshow scheduled to kick off in Bengaluru on May 22, followed by events in Hyderabad on May 23 and Pune on May 25, is all set to see massive amounts of visitors in attendance. This is the first time 'Zuken Innovation World' will be held in India since Zuken India was established in 2015.
India has achieved a high growth rate in recent years on the back of the recent push towards a 'Make in India' policy, which targets employment creation and increased exports in the manufacturing sector. With its wealth of outstanding talent in the field of IT, India is also drawing attention as a major center for R&D within the global market. It is amidst this backdrop that Zuken Inc. took definite strides in expanding its business presence among high-tech companies in particular in India. The decision to host 'Zuken Innovation World' events in India this time was backed by the extremely high level of demand among customers in India, many of which belong in fields representing the cutting edge technologies, such as the aerospace industry and the automobile industry, seeking state-of-the-art Zuken solutions.
Regarding the upcoming launch of 'Zuken Innovation World' in India, M.S. Ashok, General Manager of Zuken India, stated "It is a great pleasure to provide an opportunity for many customers in India to gain an insight into Zuken solutions in use by advanced companies in the West and Japan. At present the needs of high-tech Indian companies are no different to those of advanced companies in Japan and the West. By coordinating with Zuken in Japan and the West, looking ahead we hope to bring the latest Zuken solutions to customers in India."
Experts from Zuken India, Zuken Germany and the U.S. Zuken SOZO Center are due to present at 'Zuken Innovation World' in India, covering topics such as the Co-design approach to LSI, package and board design utilizing the features of the CR-8000 to the fullest, DDR4 and other high-speed circuit designs, and SI/PI simulations, among other topics as well as providing information on the latest version of the 'E3.series', which has seen extended use in the aerospace and mechanical industries worldwide, and design data management led by 'DS-E3', which saw release last year.

travel eye-candy and some links
Because he's sweet like that and he knows how I love to travel. I think maybe he thought just looking at pictures would cool down my drooling to see those places in person.
But I have to admit it might have made it worse.
Now I can picture even more where I want to go. I mean, who wouldn't want to be here?
...and stay in a place like this?
In my dreams, this place is where I wanted to go for my fortieth birthday:
Who wouldn't, right?
(Instead I was snuggling five kids drinking in the goodness of being with my family which really is just as good in my book...maybe I'll aim for Greece when I turn fifty...)
And doesn't it look dreamy to bike around Italy with this cute mustached guy below?
I've always wanted to go to Bali. But "beyond Bali"?? I want to go there too:)
Yeah, some day.
But for now I'll remember "life is long," and how darn lucky I am to be right here, right now.
Some links that may interest you:
Power of Moms is doing a photo contest for the cover of a book about motherhood I got to contribute to. For more information the link is here.
This family could use any extra prayers at this time.
My parents are finally selling the house that we grew up in that's chock-full of family memories and has a gorgeous view of Salt Lake City. We are all pretty sad about that little fact so rather than listing it they have decided to just do a little website about it to find some great family who can make it theirs and make their own tangible family memories there. The link is here if you know anyone who may be interested.
And last but not least, my sweet friend is doing a "Mother's Book of Secrets" give-away on her blog. Click here for that.
Happy Monday!

Funny thing! I checked out the link to your parent's home and thought, hmmmm that sounds like the same area as my granparents. Turns out, it is just the next street over!! I love, love love visiting them up there - it is so beautiful!! Hope they find a wonderful family to move in. My grandparents are David and Barbara Hatch. (my grandpa passed away about a year and a half ago)ReplyDelete
Shawni, We get Budget Travel Magazine and love it!! Check it out!ReplyDelete
Ohhh, I hear ya about the travel bug. I've gotten it bad lately. I booked an awesome deal for my husband and I to go to the Bahamas next month (our 10-year anniversary is in May, I just turned 30 and I'm due with our 4th child this summer- all very good excuses for a vacation in my book) and I've been trawling the internet looking for more good deals ever since. I know it will be awhile before we get away again, but I like to know what's out there and a life of dreams will always take you farther than you'd go without them. :-)ReplyDelete
One of my favorite pastimes now is to go to Kayak.com and click on the "more" link and then "Explore". You just enter your home airport and it will give you a map of the best deals all around the world. We're RCI members so I compare those prices with deals on lodging and I pretend-plan all kinds of vacations. Last week I got our entire family down to Orlando, Florida for a week for $1200. Not bad! ;-)
Um, not the smartest move on Dave's part. That would only make it worse for me, too! My husband and I went to Greece a few years ago and stayed on Santorini for two nights. Hands down the most beautiful place I have ever been. Sunsets there are amazing!!ReplyDelete
I'm in my 40's and have never flown on a plane. Ever. Anywhere in my life. I hope to.... someday. Maybe I am lucky to not have the "bug" right now, because I really have not been anywhere. lolReplyDelete
Those places DO look amazing, though. I seriously wonder what the rest of the world looks like. I see the proof out there.. that it does exist.....so in the meantime I guess I will enjoy seeing the world through others' eyes. ; )
So when you do get around to goin to Greece let me know! I loved loved loved Santorini and I am dying to get back. Especially because I didn't buy a few trinkets that I still kick myself for. Miss ya!ReplyDelete
Shawns, will Dave let you go to one of those places with me for my 40th? Tell him it will save me some money in heavy medications. Just an idea...can't wait to see you in a few weeks! xo MoReplyDelete
You brought back many memories of days gone by as I looked at the post of your parents home. I had a dear friend that lived above Hogle Zoo and we lived on the street just below it. Utah used to be home but Missouri has captured our hearts! I hope you get to go to Greece for your 50th B-day! Thanks for you wonderful blog!!ReplyDelete
New follower! hope you come by and want to follow back. I love the name of your blog and look forward to learning more about Lucy!ReplyDelete
In the last 18 months my family of four with kids now ages 6 and 8 we have visited Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy (many times), Croatia, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Spain. The next few months hold: Italy (two more times), the Greek islands, Turkey, Bavaria... It doesn't hurt that we live in Germany - for only three years so we're packing in as much as possible. Family travel agent is one of my most time-consuming tasks and we love the travel! I am so grateful for this experience and I'd like to encourage anyone who's hesitating to JUST DO IT! Adventure is only a plane ride away!!!ReplyDelete
My husband's parents just left (Monday!) to serve a mission in Indonesia. Oh, how I wish we could afford to go visit them. It looks fascinating!ReplyDelete
Thanks for doing this even with Dad's "outside pressure"!ReplyDelete

Erislandy Lara defeats Jan Zaveck in return to South Florida
Erislandy Lara made a successful ring return to South Florida after his third-round technical knockout win over Jan Zaveck in a world title fight late Wednesday night at Hialeah Park and Casino.
With the victory, Lara retained his World Boxing Association super-welterweight title.
A native of Cuba, Lara lives in Houston and has not fought locally since 2009. Lara outclassed Zaveck with quicker combinations — set up by a lead right jab and follow-up left to the head.
Early in the third, Lara (22-2, 13 KOs) stunned Zaveck with a right-left to the head. Zaveck (35-4) retreated toward the ropes and Lara followed with additional unanswered combinations. Refereee Telis Assimenios stepped in between both fighters after Zaveck complained of pain in his right shoulder, and stopped the fight at 41 seconds of the round.
"I'm very happy to be back fighting in Miami," Lara said. "I think I put on a great show for the fans. I handled the pressure well, stayed in the pocket and fought my fight."
Lara, 32, plans a long run as 154-pound champion and will move to the 160-pound class for two notable exceptions who fought in a highly-watched middleweight title fight Saturday.
"I'll face anyone at 154 pounds, unless it's Canelo [Alvarez] or [Miguel] Cotto," Lara said. "Then we'll go to 160."
