Computers in CarsYoure far from home on a lonely road. Shadowy forests stretch away on both sides. A thick mist makes it difficult to see far beyond your cars windshield.
"Can this be route 90A?" you wonder. If it is, you should be near a town. Yet theres no hint of one. Night is closing in. And youre low on gasoline.
This is a situation where an inear computer that can navigate (help you find your way) would be a big help.
A car computer that navigates? Yes. Such computers exist. Several experimental models are being tested by General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and several foreign car makers. These computers vary in detail. But they all contain series of maps on videodiscs or videotapes. For example, one computer system contains 13,300 maps covering the continental U. S……
Before starting out on a trip, a driver can type in the code for the region he or she plans to drive through. The computer then shows a map of that region. At the same time, a tiny radio receiver linked to the computer goes to work. It picks up signals from navigation satellites such as the Nust all be on the SAME line network. Using these signals, the computer pinpoints the cars position at all times and displays this position on the map. The computer can also calculate and display the best route to follow.
A navigation computer may also receive and use data about road construction, weather conditions, and traffic jams. This information would be displayed to the driver and the computer would also use the information to work out alternate routes.
Navigation computers may not be on the market until around 1988. Yet most new cars do contain computers. These are hidden computers that help cars run more efficiently.
Engine ControlPractically all new cars contain microprocessors (basic computer chips) to control certain engine functions. Microprocessors regulate the mixing of fuel vapor and air and the firing of the spark plugs. This helps keep the engine running well while keeping fuel consumption and pollutant emissions as low as possible. In some cars, computer controls prevent engine knocking and regulate lubrication (oiling)。 They also keep ignition, acceleration and braking smooth.
Data on car speed, oil pressure, revolutions per minute, engine temperature, and fuel level can be displayed as digital data (numbers) or warning lights. Some cars also use warning beepers or voice synthesizers to warn drivers.
Some auto designers suggest that a central computer display be used to clearly present such timely information as car speed and fuel level. Warning lights would indicate a drop in oil pressure or a sudden rise in engine temperature. To get more information on these conditions, the driver could call it up on the computer display screen. When needed, the computer could be "asked" to provide navigation aid or information about the cars condition.

Read the following article and figure out the meaning of the words in italics using the context given and wordbuilding skills.
Many countries are working to improve railroad passenger service along heavily traveled intercity routes. Because they use less energy per passenger than other means of transportation, efficient railroads could help conserve the worlds energy resources and reduce air pollution.
The magnetic levitation vehicle, known as the Movies, is a new type of highspeed passenger train. An MLV track consists of a single rail that lies under the center of the train, but the train doesnt touch the track when it is moving. MLVS are powered by electric motors. A powerful magnetic force, created by a magnet, in both the motor and the track itself, levitates the train. This magnetic force holds the train about fifteen centimeters above the rail and moves the vehicle forward. The train, which was designed by French, German, and Japanese engineers, is expected to travel more than 480 kilometers per hour.

Complete the following passage by filling in the blanks with appropriate words.
The Computer and the Motorcar
When a man is driving a car for long distances along a main road or motorway, two of his problems are to keep the car at a fairly steady speed and to make sure that he does not run into the car in front of him. Easy 1, you may think - but it is 2 easier on a long motorway 3 for a mans attention 4 wander. Some experiments have been made 5 a system which involves computer 6 of these two problems. The cars computer 7 the speed steady. At the same time the 8 between the car and any 9 car in front of it is measured by a beam of light 10 forwards. The beam 11 the fear reflectors(反射镜) of the car in 12 and is reflected 13, so enabling the distance to 14 measured. This information is 15 to the computer, which adjusts its speed control accordingly.
There are also to be 16 with a system called "Minigap." This system will be 17 useful to drivers stuck in long 18 of cars, as the compater would control not only the speed and the distance 19 the car in front, but also the 20. Using this system, a driver could switch over to Minigap, take out his newspaper and do the crossword puzzle while his car drives most of the way home automatically. To the roadside observer, the line of cars would seem like a train which carriages could join or leave at will.

Photography By: Tiffany Fosnight of Adeline and Grace Photography
The Carneros Inn is a truly amazing venue; from your engagement to your wedding or even as a location to spend your honeymoon, this four star resort offers everything a couple needs to plan a perfect wedding celebration. The beauty of a full service resort like the Carneros Inn is that they let you focus on the details, allowing you to have as magical of an event as you imagined. The service at the Carneros Inn is impeccable - no need to sweat the small stuff, it will all be taken care of.
We love this inspired and sophisticated wedding's bold use of color. Tiffany Fosnight has done a wonderful job of sharing the details and emotions of this celebration. The amazing assortment of flowers, orchids, fiddlehead fern, hydrangea, roses, and thistle create truly unique floral arrangements, and the use of succulents and manzanita help to tie in the natural setting that the resort is so well known for. I love the infusion of the vibrant green in the linen; it creates a canvass for the rest of the design and creates emphasis on the colorful floral arrangements.
Ask the expert
If you are having a hard time thinking about the details, let your designer or florist know one element, one flower, one color, or one texture and let them run with it. You would be amazed at where you can find inspiration. This design transcends seasons - it would really work any time of the year. If you are having a late fall or winter wedding, consider a similar design but incorporate a linen choice with a darker base.

I'm still 'hip-deep' in my upcoming book about these fascinating birds. I can say I've become somewhat 'tuned in' to snowy and great egrets over the course of the past year or so. In that time, they've given me fantastic shots in a number of places around the Bay Area. This one posed and opened its wings for me as a potent tide washed in and out along the shores of San Francisco's Ocean Beach.
I chose to strip away the sunshine and color of the day in favor of some bluish, midnight-y filtering; giving the shot a decidedly different feel. I did this a few posts back and enjoyed the process enough to give it another try.
I think what I like most with this one is the 'ghostly glowing shadow etched into the sand beneath the egret's feet. This mirroring effect feels a lot stronger and more pronounced with the color filtering, while the sand reminds me of volcanic sand beaches. Never seen one?

K'lee and Dale's Cosmic Photo Challenge/ The Prompt:
On a different note, my buddy Dale and I have been doing the 'K'lee and Dale's Cosmic Photo Challenge for a little bit now. What we've decided is to actually offer a prompt on Fridays for the actual challenge on Monday.
So, with that said, and with the month of May right around the bend, AND this post's photo taking place on a … BEACH- I return to the idea of beaches.
Beaches here in San Francisco almost always mean COLD water; cool-looking, but cold. For the 'K'lee and Dale's Cosmic Photo Challenge' next week, I'm shooting for tropics, warm, sun; beaches that remind you of summer (it's right around the bend…) With the weekend to think about it, we'll see what happens…

Last November, I wrote about participating in TWLoHA day (To Write Love on Her Arms) during 30 Days of Thanks month. TWLoHA day is a day of solidarity, where people like me write the word "love" on our arms in order to support, and get a conversation started, with people about TWLoHA's mission:
"Presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depressions, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLoHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery."
I thought at the time that there was just one day each year when people wrote love on their arms in support, but I was mistaken; yesterday and today are TWLoHA days, too.
And I am full in. Join me?

It was almost a dark and stormy night, almost a perfect night to take up the challenge emblazoned on the leaflet: "Dare you enter the museum?" Perfect night or not, my friends and I took up the mantel anyway.
The museum in question was a local one that I have never been to before: The Castle Point Transport Museum. Tonight, the museum wasn't merely a former bus station but the setting for a bus crash that released some maniacs who were being transferred to a secure asylum… It was a nice touch that the bus on the forecourt was headed to a local mental hospital, giving the back-story a little bit of credibility. Well, kind of.
As we're approaching Halloween, where Hollywood would have us believe that ghosts, ghouls and the occasional serial killer comes out to play so it was the perfect night out. The museum became a 'Scarefest' maze inhabited by the escaped psychotic prisoners. They lurked in dark corners, on deserted buses and in the displays waiting to frighten the next unwitting group of visitors. Wielding chainsaws and butchers' knives, to the modern bus-user these inmates were nothing that isn't the norm on the number 27. It says something about today's society when the group of senior citizens who wandered the dark corridors with us were not fazed at all.
Or something.
You'll be happy to know, dear reader(s) that we all survived and celebrated with tea and hot chocolate, because, you know, we're that cool.
It was a brave move from a museum that is only open two days a month during the summer and one that I think was well received by the local community.
Not a traditional adventure in a museum by any means, but it is certainly one that we won't forget in a while.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. John Faso, a Republican who represents an 11-county district in Upstate New York, said Wednesday he plans to break with his party and vote "no" on the GOP's tax overhaul bill.
Faso, R-Kinderhook, becomes the fifth House Republican from New York to oppose his party on the biggest rewrite of the U.S. tax code in more than 30 years.
The first-term congressman said he believes the tax legislation will unfairly harm New York and other high-tax states impacted by the loss of state and local tax (SALT) deductions.
"The complete removal of the deduction for state income taxes and the limitation on deductions for local property taxes will impact New York families more severely than taxpayers in other states," Faso said in a statement.
"While the full SALT income tax deduction for individuals is repealed, full deductibility will remain in effect for corporations and other business entities, thereby protecting taxpayers in states like Texas which rely more heavily on corporate taxes," Faso said.
Faso, whose district includes parts of the Capital Region, Hudson Valley and Catskills region, is the second Upstate Republican to say he intends to vote against the tax plan.
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Willsboro, on Tuesday cited similar reasons for her decision to break ranks on a vote scheduled for Thursday night.
Rep. John Katko plans to vote for GOP tax reform bill
Republican congressman is a key swing vote needed to pass the biggest U.S. tax overhaul in 30 years.
The GOP can afford to lose a little more than 20 votes to pass the tax measures without any Democratic support. Other Republican House members from New Jersey and California have also signaled that they will oppose the bill.
U.S. Rep. John Katko, R-Camillus, is among three out of New York's 27 House members who has said he will vote to pass the bill. The others are Reps. Chris Collins, R-Clarence, and Tom Reed, R-Corning.

Journaling: A Tool for the Intentional Lifeby Susan Wittig Albert
In the frantic, media-driven society in which most of us live, we are constantly bombarded with the implicit message that we must yield to every momentary impulse: go here, do this, buy that. In such an environment, living the intentional life is a challenge, and we need all the help we can get to meet it For me, meditation is one valuable aid; journaling is another.
I have been keeping a journal since I was a graduate student at Berkeley in the late 1960s, and I am continually amazed by the life changes my journals have recorded. Many of these changes were a matter of chance-random things that happened to me that altered the course of a day, a year, even longer. I met a woman who introduced me to sailing, which became my passion for five or six years (an expensive passion!). I received a job offer in Texas and moved to a city and state I would never have considered, if I'd been doing the choosing. Someone took me to a party; I met a man there, married him, and adopted his life style, which was substantially different from my own. As I look back over the journals from these years, I realize that most of these momentous, life-changing events were really accidents. I was living an opportunistic life, taking advantage of what came along. I was going with the flow.
But as the years moved along and I became more focussed on living an intentional life, my journal began to record many more life-changes that were a matter of choice-things I decided to do, directions I wanted to grow. My journal reminds me that I divorced my husband because I needed "to be my own woman, choose my own direction." I left my academic career in 1985 (according to my journal), because I wanted "to free myself to learn new lessons, to free myself from the past." I began to write full-time (my journal says), because I wanted "to get out of the career culture, to work at home, to use my writing skills to make a living." I read in my journal that I began to practice meditation because "I need to learn how to be quiet, to focus." Each of these choices, of course, led to new life paths, new things to learn, new ways to choose. My journal record makes that clear.
In an interesting way, though, my journal has been more than simply a record of the changes in my life. It has also become an important tool for intentional living. Over the years, I have used my journal to write down what I thought I wanted or needed-sometimes just the germ of a desire, sometimes a full-blown wish-and then, for the next few weeks or months, explore the desire by writing about it. Sometimes the exploration has taken me closer to the thing I thought I wanted, sometimes farther away. But what's important isn't whether I got it or not. What is important is the exploration itself, which teaches me to examine my intentions, to pay attention to what is going on in my heart, my mind, and my body. As I write and think and write some more, I get closer to the why, which is, when you get down to it, the most fundamental, the most important question of all.
If you would like to use your journal as a tool for intentional living, here are some things you might try.
If you continue to use your journal to focus on your intentions-seeing which of them diminish your spirit and which enlarge it; which are transitory and which persist; which encourage the growth of compassion and generosity-you will see changes in your life: intentional change, not random or accidental. Your goals will become more meaningful, you will move closer to them, and you will find more satisfaction in the process. And you will discover that your journal has become not just a record of your growth, but a tool to help you grow and a companion to witness it.

I Want My Ex Wife Back
I want my ex wife back but she says it's over. How can I get her back and what should I do?
The legal separation is pretty obvious, but it's the psychological impact that most don't know how to address. She thinks it's over, and the divorce is her admitting that the marriage was a mistake.
How do you change that?
The reason people separate is because their "perception" has changed. They don't view you the same at the end of the relationship as they did at the beginning. Very often people will say, "he's not the person I married".
You haven't changed. It's their perception of who you are that's changed. Maybe they didn't want to acknowledge qualities they didn't like before marriage, and after several years together they can't over look it. Does that make sense?
In your wife's mind she's thinking "I can't go back because he's too controlling" or "he's too inconsiderate".
You have to address that perception BEFORE you ask to get back together. Any attempt to reconcile before challenging those views will be met negatively.
So how do you change that negative perception, right? This is what many people have trouble with. You don't want to prove her wrong. A direct challenge to her belief about your character or personality will be met with negativity.
To change someone's perception you need to create doubt about that perception. Not a complete and drastic opposite. Just a doubt. If she can say to herself, "maybe he isn't ALWAYS controlling" or "maybe he isn't ALWAYS inconsiderate" it's enough to change how she thinks of you.
If you want your ex back but don't know what to do, the Magic Of Making Up provides a relationship plan others have used to get their wife back.

Chapter 17
This is the way it is; nothing matters. Nothing at all.
Most people don't want to believe it. If they did, what would the point to anything be? Whether or not a person believes it is irrelevant, though. It's the biggest, ugliest, most vicious truth in the universe. Birth, death, sickness and health; it's all irrelevant in the end.
There's an old saying about fate. Something about throwing a stone in the water, then the small ripples spread outward. Or maybe it has something to do with butterfly wings and hurricanes?
Whatever, it's bullshit. Small things don't make a difference. Big things don't make a difference. Entire species die out on this planet every single day and no one notices. A giant comet could wipe all of us out again, and our solar system would just keep rocketing though the galaxy as though nothing had happened.
There might be other life out there, but we'll never see it. There may be some divine force that created everything, but it doesn't care about us.
Happiness fades. Love is a chemical imbalance. Sooner or later, everyone you're closest to will let you down.
I know, we're not supposed to focus on the bad, bleak, or pointless. It's the little things—the small joys, no matter how brief—that make life worthwhile.
That's bullshit, too. Those brief moments of joy pass and then they're gone forever. Worse than that, every memory is corrupt.
The oldest known vampire lived to be six thousand years old. In the grand scheme of things, that isn't a significant amount of time. If the entire history of everything from the big bang to this moment was compressed into one year, we all came into being in the last minute of the last day. In another minute, we'll all be gone.
All of these things are as clear as a shard of crystal being stabbed into my brain. Without the haze of hope, love, or joy, the only thing that exists is pain. So, why stay?
I'll never see you again, but it doesn't matter. You'll never read this. You'll never know where I've gone or what happened to me, but that's okay, too. It doesn't matter what happens to me.
There is no justice anywhere in the world, but at least I'll be getting what I deserve.
Goodbye, Karen.

Ever since launching in 2011, the Lamborghini Aventador has proven exceptionally popular to tune and modify. We've seen a number of Aventadors outfitted with amazing chrome and matte wraps and for the first time, we present to you a truly unique Aventador wrapped in snake skin.
It has a very eye-catching brown and yellow tinge to it and under lights, shows glimmers of bright gold. We're not sure about the durability of the wrap or how it will cope with the elements but it certainly looks good.
Elsewhere, this Aventador customised by Forgiato has been installed with a set of gloss black wheels with the interior adorned in black and light cream coloured leather. By: GTspirit

I am now half way through the book. The spine has cracked and I have the delicious knowledge I will throw the book away once I have finished it. Why delicious? It's one less book on the shelves. I will retain some memory of it. And I have again participated in the magic rite of reading. Just as writing is, of itself, syncretic.
I began this piece of writing feeling fractured and de-centred yet by the very act of writing something remarkable has happened. It cured my blues. I have re-formed my personality into a whole and all the cracks of my being have magically melded together and formed one sealed surface. This is the magic of words. Now – like the book – I can throw these words away.

Sorry for late reply here. Been very busy having to attend so many weddings (season eh?)this last few days.
Sex is still a "taboo" topic of discussion in this part of the world, hence I get few very "naughty teasing" comments here that I will not publish.
There are many things we take for granted, such as delivering a child eg: Today new mums-to-be have special courses to help them understand what to expect during labour etc.
This sex school sure is an eye opener for those in need! haha

The recently established modified mixture theory for fluid-filled porous materials is applied to two steady state boundary value problems; also, how the newly developed theory provides more general solution than Biot's theory is examined. The velocity profiles in steady state boundary value problems are found to depend on the ratio of a characteristic length of the microstructure to a characteristic length defined by the boundary conditions. As opposed to Biot's theory, the zero fluid velocity condition on the boundary are satisfied and the existence of a non-Darcy flow closer to the boundary are shown.

Economic Growth
Q. Mr. President, I was at the Punch Bowl Cemetery a week ago, covering your speech there. And I was struck, sir, as you talked to the veterans about how America got behind the Gulf war effort as we did the World War II effort. Is it possible in this day and age, sir, to get behind this economic problem we're having in this country? Is there any way you can fire up the troops in this country, so to speak, so that that same sort of enthusiasm moves into that area?
The President. I hope so, and I am certainly going to keep on trying. We're going to have a renewed focal point of an effort at the State of the Union Message.
Without sounding defensive, Harold, 3 straight years we've sent growth programs to the Congress in the State of the Union Message. And very candidly, I've not been able to get a partisan Congress to move on these initiatives. They have other ideas.
But I think it is time to set aside, as your question implies, these partisan differences and say, ``Look, people are hurting out there in this economy. Let's get this country moving again.''
The war and domestic are different. I didn't have to get permission from the Democrats to move troops, to say, ``We're going into battle tonight. We're going to give the command to General so-and-so.'' I didn't have to do that; I have that authority as President. To enact programs, I do have to do that. But your answer is, I've got to succeed in this. I have got to get this country moving again as best we can from the Federal level. And we have good programs, and I think I can do it.
Q. President Bush, you have called, of course, for a cut in the capital gains tax. Can you be more specific? What other ideas do you have to jump-start the economy?
The President. Well, when you use the word ``jump-start,'' let me say that the signing of the transportation bill tomorrow, which will be one of the successes for jump-starting, will be effective. In addition, we've accelerated .7 billion worth of Federal spending. Now, we've got a several-trillion-dollar economy, but .7 billion that would have been spent later is going to be spent sooner because of this trying to jump-start the economy.
There may be a couple of other things of substance that I'll be able to do before the State of the Union. But the big one is to say to the country, ``Look, let's set politics aside. Let's get together and now go forward on a growth package.'' And some of it will have a short-term benefit. For example, IRA's, you know, these IRA's, these savings accounts to stimulate first-time homebuyers, I think once we pass something like that, that will have a psychological effect on the home-buying business.
So, there are other things we can do. We're trying hard to eliminate the excess of regulation. That doesn't require legislation, and we're making some progress there. Financial reform would help enormously. But we didn't get it through Congress. I'm going to try again.
So, these are some of the ideas that I think can have enormous benefit to those people that are really hurting because they don't have a job.
Q. Mr. President, there was a statistic that was released last month by the Government that said that the number of people who have given up looking for jobs has risen. People who have given up looking for a job, sir, I don't know many people here in southern California who fit that description. What do you say to these people? They haven't given up looking for a job, they've just perhaps given up hope that there are no jobs available.
The President. I'd say let's get the economy stimulated. You know, Californians seem to understand the capital gains argument better than most. Japan pays 1 percent, when you sell out of a business, of capital gains. Germany pays no capital gains. And we are up in the astrosphere, whatever, stratosphere with capital gains.
So, the Democrats, mainly the liberal ones, accuse this of being a tax cut for the rich. Those businesses in California that started with incentive when -- know that capital gains differential is important. And so, there is one area that I think would have a stimulation on new jobs.
The guys get thrown out of work because we're cutting back on defense spending. Now, he's entitled to job retraining, and we've got good programs for that. But he also is entitled to the hope, not the hopelessness of the guy that gives up; he's entitled to the hope that new jobs will be created. And we ought to move all these barriers to creating jobs out of the way, and that's what I'm trying to do.
Foreign vs. Domestic Policy
So, I would tell them, ``Don't give up. Don't despair.''
Q. Mr. President, you've heard the criticism: You're more interested in international problems than domestic problems, more interested in what's happening in the Soviet Union than you are here in southern California. How do you respond to that, sir?
The President. I say it's not true. And I touched on that one out at Pearl Harbor. In the first place, it is the growth in exports that have saved a struggling economy. And if you pull back into some isolationistic sphere and neglect foreign markets, why, you're crazy. So, I've spent a lot of time on trying to get a trade agreement through in the GATT round with Europe, and a lot of time recently on that.
I also believe that -- I don't know if you have kids, but I know about my grandkids, and I think they've got a chance now to grow up in a lot safer world. I think there is less chance of nuclear confrontation than there was before we started trying to handle things with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and the Middle East the way we're handling them.
I guess my bottom line on this thing, Harold, is you can't separate foreign policy from domestic. We have a stake in whether these nuclear weapons are handled safely in the Soviet Union. So, I'm not going to neglect that responsibility, but I believe I can do both and should do both: be fully engaged in trying to help this economy and, secondly, not neglect my responsibilities for world peace. This goes with the territory. This is my pay grade.
America 2000
Q. I do have children, sir. I'm concerned about their education, as you are concerned about education. Another criticism, sir, that you'll bail out the S L's, but you won't take money and bail out our educational systems.
The President. Well, let me address myself to that one. We have the best Federal approach to education that the country has ever seen. It's called America 2000. We started with Democratic and Republican Governors at Charlottesville. It was a couple of years ago. We adopted for the first time six national goals. And now what we've done is enlist the help in States, not just at the Governor level but in the State commissioners of education, in the teacher level, in the district superintendent level, in the principal level, to literally revolutionize our schools.
On the defensive side of the equation, Federal spending for education is up. But the Federal part of education is 6 or 7 percent of the total education bill. Why? Because it is correct that the local communities and the States do what has historically been done. American parents want their kids' education control closest to them. But we're doing a good job on education. And I can understand the frustration of some: ``Please give us more money. Please give us money.'' That is not the way we're going to revolutionize these schools and give our kids a better chance in math or science or history, or whatever it is.
President's Approval Rating
Q. Mr. President, I would like to say Merry Christmas to you and your family, and I hope you won't let the polls that were released today, those figures, spoil your holiday season, sir. You deserve -- --
The President. They don't help any, but I don't live and die by polls.
You know one thing, Harold? When they were sky-high, thank God I said, hey, don't worry about these polls. And I've learned to take it. And it's not a good time for our country. And of course the President should share his part of the responsibility. And all I can say is we are going to whip this sluggishness in this economy and make things better. I don't care what it means I have to do, but we're going to do it. So I go into Christmas feeling pretty good. But thank you for your thoughts.
Q. Thank you, sir.
Note: The interview began at 2:12 p.m. The President spoke via satellite from Room 459 of the Old Executive Office Building.

Some thoughts on Log Horizon after my rewatch
Recently me and my cousin watched the entirety of Log Horizon (we finished the 2nd season in like two days….). This was the second time I've seen this show and while I still liked it I came away a little grated at a few things, so I figured I'd jot down some thoughts.
Note: I watched it in a rush with family so I didn't take any screenshots. I apologize for the lack of contextually useful ones. My posts on Log Horizon feel dated now, but if you are curious, you can find some here.
Note 2: This is very much a rant and I am sure a show with this much ambition doesn't really deserve it, but I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Lori's Horse Portraits Up and Running!
October 28, 2008 -- After spending many years painting in various themes: landscapes, wildlife, flowers, modern, surreal, and boats (you can't live in Southeast Alaska and not paint boats...or fish, for that matter) I've finally put my passion for horses together with my love of painting.
I was so inspired after taking a photo of Oliver, a large sorrel quarterhorse, that I had to paint him. He's so calm and nice, a happy, honest horse who'll try his heart out for you. When I was finished with the painting, all these qualities were evident in his face. You can see his soft eye, his relaxed but interested ears, his almost smug mouth. He knows he's doing well and he's well loved. He likes to work, and protests when its time for his rider to go. What a horse!
Oliver is owned by a lady who does love both her chestnut quarterhorses. She's out of town right now, but I can hardly wait until she sees this portrait.
My next painting was of Rose, our newest horse. She is a three year old Hanoverian filly out of Marefield Meadows, and she's lovely. She's young and curious, as well as intelligent and focused. You can see her fine mind in her direct gaze and alert ears. Even for her youth, she has a regal bearing, and this self assuredeness was very fun to paint.
Her velvety coat is getting longer because the weather has turned cold, and her ears are fuzzy because she's still a baby, and they've never been clipped. She's very sociable and isn't sure about apples yet. Her favorite treats are peppermints.
I was going to keep this painting, but her trainer (who first broke her to saddle) bought this portrait when she saw it. I don't mind at all, I'm going to paint Rose again, probably several times because she 's so expressive.
What a wonderful feeling to have connected with these two horses on such an profound level. Creating replicas of them that show not only their outsides, but having their spirits somehow shine through was wonderful. I already have my next two paintings lined up!

"Amazonian Age Reversal Retreats" Announced
Ecuador, October 10, 2018
-- This month,
Alpha Omega Labs
put out its
latest newsletter
, containing a
supplemental article
announcing the upcoming opening of our
Amazonian Age Reversal Retreat
in Cuenca. The market is currently being driven by gigantic differences in cost between the prices of anti-aging materials in the U.S. and other Western countries and the prices in Ecuador for the very same materials. These differences are often in excess of 20-to-1, and this is particularly true in the area of hormone replacement therapy. The retreat will take advantge of a number of proprietary anti-aging herbal formulations available only in Ecuador, as they will be tailored to each patient's individual needs.
The centerpiece of the retreat will be its stem cell program, using the latest advances in this field to assist patients in achieving their anti-aging goals. If you would like to "opt in" to receive our upcoming newsletters, you can do so when you place your next order on
one of our stores
, or you can email us at
and put "Opt-In" in the subject line.

Accelerated Weight-Loss / Anti-Aging
August, August 1, 2018
-- Last January I got to the point where I was very out of shape as a result of being overworked with my client load, intense study, and writing schedule. I was focusing on the health of my clients, but I wasn't focusing on my own. I wasn't exercising anymore, and I wasn't eating as well as I should. The result was mild body dysmorphia and depression.
Reaching out for help, I found solace in the underground anti-aging movement in Cuenca and with the help of international trainer and former fashion model,
Michel Blanchard
, I've been able to completely remake my body. With the added help of unusual compounds to rebuild the telomeres, I am finding that real anti-aging technologies are coming of age.
This month I am beginning a blog to describe my journey and discuss my experiences with the most exotic compounds in the anti-aging movement, including C60 and other fullerenes, epitalon, cycloastrogenol, klotho, NT3, carnosine, programmed water, hydrogen therapy, stem cell therapy, etc. I will be placing my posts on the
news section
of this site, beginning in early August.
Ecuador, July 2, 2018
-- The paperback version of my latest book,
Living on the Precipice
: Global Corruption, the Supremacy of "Fake," and Reflections on Near-Term Human Extinction
is now in publication. It is available, both on
this site's store
. (See
complete final cover
with book description.)
Drawing from online essays and various postings made from 1996 to 2018, the book covers the most serious issues currently confronting humanity and the world at large.
I've received numerous requests to discuss the particulars of my previous book,
The Joys of Psychopathocracy
(2017). Requests for complementary books for review by interviewers and their producers should be made to:
December, 2017
Ecuador, December 2, 2017
-- My latest book,
The Joys of Psychopathocracy
: Why Criminality Is Essential To Effective Modern Government / Our Rebirth In The Wake of Their Destruction of Our World
, is
currently available from Amazon
, as well as our own online stores,
storefronts -- (the former for orders in the U.S. and Canada; the latter for orders to all other countries). The book is also available on
. I have prepared a
special announcement
to friends and associates in conjunction with its release.
Beautifully illustrated by world renowned illustrator and graphic designer,
David Dees
, the book uses an original approach to social structural analysis to conclusively demonstrate that Government, regardless of structure or type, is inherently criminal -- a defect that no amount of tinkering or reorganization can change. The current global super-structure of interlocking governments and NGO's -- the most extensive in recorded history -- is the single largest contributor to the Holocene Extinction Event which is currently in progress. A point of no return has been crossed such that the current trend cannot be reversed. This is causing some serious researchers to subscribe to the idea that we are facing near-term human extinction (NTE) in a relatively few number of years in the face of the ongoing, documentable collapse of habitat.
The book ends with a discussion of a coming Event that will serve to change the world for those who seek an escape. The opening of the book up to and including the introduction
is now available as a free read

SWIMMING is coming along! I've been very consistent and seeing progress. I am SO THANKFUL that the pool is in the same building that I work, it makes getting the workouts done so much easier. Also, the room is very hot and humid, which is a warm welcome from the cold weather! I'm also LOVING my Tri-Swim haircare, bodywash, and lotion! No chlorine itch or dryness for me! I gave out samples of this to all the Tri-Sharks that came to the awards banquet, and a lucky raffle winner received a whole travel kit of the stuff! Lucky for us, SBR Sports is offering 20% off ALL purchases in February, here's your chance to check it out... promotion below! Be sure to use it at checkout!
I'm also excited that Team REV3 has added BLUE SEVENTY as our swim sponsor!! I can't WAIT to top off the swim skillz I've been working hard for in one of these wetsuits. They actually create different types of wetsuits for different swim styles... check them out!
Finally, just looks at these. Enough said. Get some.
RUNNING...oy. I though I would be able to start running at 4 weeks... and I finally forced the foot to get rolling around 6.5-7 week post-op. I'm running at a low intensity ~30min. at a time now... but it is very painful. The "push-off" is coming around, but it's not there yet. Uggh. AT LEAST Rev3 has added SWIFTKICK as a sponsor, so my tootsies will be comfy!! I have one pair that I have reserved for "special" runs, so I am excited to get geared up for a whole SEASON of running in those fantastic socks!! I know I'm going to NEED those compression socks too once running picks up!
Oh, and speaking of running...many of my REV3 teammates and the staff are running a LOT to get ready for their big journey to RUN ACROSS AMERICA!
10 people will set out fron Oceanside, CA on March 26th and traverse 3080 miles by foot to reach Georgetown Hospital Cancer Centers in Washington DC on April 16th.
To raise $100,000 for the Ulman Cancer Fund. The UCF offers comprehensive program for young adult cancer patients.
Please visit the RAA site to learn more about the running adventure and Ulman Cancer Fund. It's so simple to help this cause- a donation, no matter how large or small. You can visit the website, and I will provide a link on my website :) Amazing.
So last week:
I am thrilled and honored that I received TWO awards at the Tri-Shark Annual Banquet: Female MVP & BITE ME Performance! Both were related to my tough season and outstanding race at IMAZ. It means so much to me that my friends and training partners recognize my passion and the hard work I put into the sport... :) Congratulations to the other award winners, and THANK YOU to everyone in the club- I absolutely LOVE the Bloomington IL triathlon community, and I couldn't ask to be around more FUN, talented, motivating, and inspirational athletes! :) :)

text: Bob I wonder if he might be better off making his own Yagi? If he is using a commercial TV antenna, it probably has a lot of phased director wiring on it (plus multi-band FM elements) which would pick up the 216mhz signal even if antenna is broadside to the radar source and it would be difficult to null out the carrier. With a clean Yagi cut to 216 mhz. with parasitic director(s) only, a broadside orientation could null out that radar with proper lead-in, but of coarse being broadside it would reduce the aiming directions only to broadside of the stations actual location. Just a thought....

He Is 8-Bit: Capcom's Hironobu Takeshita Speaks
August 4, 2008 Page 3 of 3
Did you work at all with feedback from fans and what they've been wanting for years? Did you work with any old comments from when the series was still active on the Famicom? How did you incorporate fan desires in this game?
HT: We're always keeping track of the fans' comments and what they say about the games, and we pay attention to that when we are making the games. For this one, Mega Man 9 wasn't so much about getting feedback for making this game.
The past comments did impact the decision to make this game, and now that we have Mega Man 9, once we put it out, we want to see the fan reaction to this, and that will give us an idea of where to go from here.
Who do you think is the audience of this game? I was 10 when the original Mega Man came out. I was a really big fan of the series on the NES, and now I'm 31. Am I the audience for this game, or are kids who are 10 now the audience for this game, or is it both? And how does that affect how you make the game?
HT: Well, if I had it my way, I'd like to reach both the age groups, but really, this is for the people who played it back then. Now they're older, of course, but this game is for them. We hope they can remember the fun they had when they played it in their childhood, and that by playing it now, they recall that, and it's still just as fun to them.
Now there's a lot of gamers in their 30s and they probably have kids of their own, so we hope that maybe Mega Man becomes a family experience for them. The parents can introduce the games they played to their children.
And you're able to rerelease the old games at the same time. Mega Man 1 and 2 are coming to the Virtual Console. It's a whole way of reawakening the brand. The current, new Mega Man games, especially Battle Network and Star Force, are quite different than what we remember, so this brings the series back to its roots, I guess.
HT: Yeah, there are plans to bring Mega Man 1 and 2 to the Virtual Console. We're not exactly sure when that will happen, but we want to do that. With this and Mega Man 9, hopefully it brings Mega Man back to the fans, and it's something a new generation can also enjoy.
Koji Igarashi, who is in charge of the Castlevania series, is a very strong believer in 2D gaming. He also likes to make sure he can cultivate these design techniques in his staff so they're not lost. As we talked about, this game features design that hasn't been done for some time. Do you think it's important to keep the classic style of designing games alive? Do you feel there's something intrinsic to that that is important to preserve and continue alongside things like next-gen games?
HT: I like to think of it not as an 8-bit style, but more of an artistic choice, if you will. It's another type of creative expression, because nowadays, everyone wants surround sound and 3D graphics and things like that, and they get too caught up in that.
I don't think it should be that way, because you could do an 8-bit game. You can do a 16-bit game. You should do whatever is creatively expressive and what you want to do.
I think that will open up the whole gaming world in general, by being able to have these creative outlets.
One thing I noticed is that your T-shirt has ironically bad artwork on it. I don't know how long you've been at Capcom, but when American games used to have bad artwork on the cover that was different from the Japanese art, what did you think about that?
HT: That art was very terrible. (laughter) It was atrocious. I'm happy that gamers back then were able to look past that atrocious art and find these good games and were able to enjoy them. We appreciate that.
Looking back, that stuff is 20 years old now, so we can look at that art and laugh at it. Even us in Japan, we laugh at it too. We thought about it and were like, "Yeah, let's do something like this." So Capcom of America came up with the design for us, and then we made these shirts in Japan.

Working on my résumé2009-04-02
I got really tired of dealing with Perl on Mac, and I feel as though it has outlived its usefulness. I used to appreciate it a lot because of its intrinsic regular-expression abilities. It seems as though every time I go to execute one of my Perl scripts, it complains about not finding some basic library like IO::Compress, at which point I'm forced to modify my hash-bang to point to a different Perl install in hopes that it will magically work which of course it doesn't, at which point I dive into CPAN hell.
Python seems pretty straight forward, and it's easier to type. I'll admin, I'm uneasy about trading Perl's curly-braced structure for Python's white-spaced structure, but I'll get used to that (again… thanks, VB). I'm working on a program to help me generate résumés. I figure as a programmer, my best expression comes from being able to design programmatically. I'm using ReportLab and considering YAML. XML is painful, ok? It's painful. There, I said it. It's painful to type, and increases payload sizes considerably. And I'm certainly not going to design my document generation techniques around something that is painful to type.
Oh and hey about the Conficker virus: I haven't encountered any problems, so thanks again to the media for causing an uproar.

|Alcoholics-Anonymous Home Page
So,let's see, where do we begin.......I was 15 years old.....
As I remember it , a friend of mine asked me if my father made his own wine. I said,"Yes,He has a couple of wine barrels down in the basement where it's cool" He said"Can you get some?"
"Of course",I said. and I got about a quart jar of it and we tasted it on the corner of "L" street and Broadway in South Boston ,Mass.And that was the first time I got woozy.It was a case of drinking on and off at parties until I went to the army in 1959 and found out you could drink under 21 in the army post.Then it was drinking any time we got off duty. That was the beginning.
As time went on I went on,I got married and started a family and had 4 nice kids. The problem was I would drink before I got home from work and find a way to go out after dinner and drink some more. My wife put up with this for 17 years until one time ,my sister-in-law said I needed to go to a re-hab. And between the two,her and my wife,I was talked into it. Only problem was they put me in a psychiatric ward. Back in the 70's,I guess they thought it was a mental desease. Well,I wound up going three times and never got sober.
BUT!!! A funny thing happened..... At the hospital,A chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous was holding a meeting once a week. At the beginning of each meeting ,a ticket was given out to each of the people attending. It was for a door prize and the prize was a copy of the Alcoholics Anonymous Twelve Step Book.At the end of the meeting ,the numbers of the tickets were put in a hat and a number called out.At my first meeting I WAS THE WINNER!!! The next week They pulled the number and I WON AGAIN!!! The third week I was discharged from the hospital,but my son and I went together to the meeting and I already had told everyone how I had won the books twice in a row. You won't believe this,BUT,I WON for the third time in a row...!!! I knew GOD was watching me. I did read that book a lot those first weeks and I did stop drinking for a while. But we all know what happened next.
YUP,only this time ,my wife gave up and told me to not come back home from the hospital. So I rented a small motel room and kept on drinking. We wound up getting a divorce and guess what,I kept on drinking,only this time I didn't have anyone to stop me.
Then I met my 2nd wife and the same thing went on with her until one time,I got so drunk one day,I went to work just to pick up my pay-check and I was going to get on a plane and go visit my son in California(2000 miles away). As I was waiting for my check ,my shop steward came to me and asked if he could talk to me about going to a re-hab before I went. I said"O.K.!" and told him I'd meet him a the bar up the street.
Well;I went and was drinking double whiskeys and waiting. After about 5 or 6 doubles,I said"Enough,I'm going" and went to the street to hail a Taxi. A little problem though,no Taxi's would stop!! So I went back and had another double. Fortified again,I went to get a Taxi again...same thing,no one would stop. So I thought,"I'll call one!" Only by now I can't see the numbers on the phone. So I sit down and guess who show up right then?
That was when I said ,"I give up,Take me!" and he took me to a hospital that had a AA re-hab,and not a psychiatric place. I stayed there for a few days ,but it wasn't taking on me and I wanted to be closer to home so I could get my wife to visit. That's when they sugested a re-hab closer and I went.
There I met people from work that also had a drinking problem.I didn't know them then,but we got to be friends.
At this Re-hab,it seemed very different fron any other re-hab I had been in.At this one they showed me what alcohol was doing to my brain! They showed me how the alcohol causes the brain to create a substance that makes you desire ,no,creates an obsession,that no amount of will power could over-come. A sort of chemical reaction. That's why they now call it chemical dependency.
Another thing is the ups and downs of alcohol and drugs. How it works is something like this. If you were not drinking at all you would have a life line like this -------------------------------------------------------------- when you drink,you get high^^^^ and when you stop for a few hours you go down---_ _ _ and that's when you need a drink to get back to normal..........................................................................It goes up and down^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^____------^^^^^^------_______-----^^^^^^ Up you feel good,down you feel sick. When you drink all the time ,you are trying to just stay on a level line,and not go down to feel sick.------------------------------.
Well that's what they showed me and said I needed to give up to my "Higher Power " and I could stop drinking. Also there are 12 steps you should follow. The heart of the suggested program of personal recovery is contained in Twelve Steps describing the experience of the earliest members of the Society:
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs
And here is where what they call "A higher Power" comes in.. You don't have to believe in GOD,All you have to do is to agree that YOU have no power over alcohol,and that there is someone or something out there who can do it for you. You have to say"I give up,I have no power over alcohol or drugs.I ask the "Higher Power" to take over for me and take away the desire to drink or do drugs."
That's what I did back in 1986 and with the knowledge that I have an obsession with alcohol caused by a chemical reaction,I can truly say,since I agreed to to give up to my "Higher Power',I have NOT HAD THE NEED OR DESIRE for a drink for over 12 years!!!
ANOTHER THING!!!! That's the story you read about in the news,that the person had not had a drink in a long time and they take a drink,then the disease takes over and they really and literally drink themselves to death in a few days!!!
I pray to my Higher Power every night before I go to sleep and thank my Higher Power for keeping me sober for the last 24 hours and to please keep me sober for another 24 hours.

Prison guard in Soledad charged in smuggling case
A state prison guard has been arrested in a sting in which he allegedly agreed to smuggle drugs and cell phones to inmates in exchange for cash, Santa Clara County sheriff's officials said Wednesday.
Sergio Javier Noguera, 38, a guard at Salinas Valley State Prison in Soledad (Monterey County), was taken into custody about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday after he showed up for a meeting in Gilroy with undercover detectives pretending to be a source of contraband for inmates, said sheriff's Sgt. Rick Sung.
Noguera believed he would be paid $2,500 to smuggle in an ounce of methamphetamine, an ounce of heroin, 3 1/2 ounces of marijuana and four cell phones, authorities said.
The investigation began in April, when an informant told detectives that Noguera had been providing drugs and cell phones to inmates at the prison, which employs 946 guards and houses about 3,700 minimum- and maximum-security inmates.
Noguera is being held in lieu of $130,000 bail on drug-related counts, Sung said.
Noguera has been a guard at the prison for eight years. If he is released on bail, he will be reassigned to another position outside the prison while the investigation continues, said Sgt. Kim Traynham, a prison spokesman.
