The New Site is Live!
Well, I've redesigned my website. It went from being more "blog like" to more of an actual website. I wanted to provide a broader view of who I am, what I do and what I can offer. In a way, this new site is a broader look into who I am.
You will still get the blog posts, the political commentary and the occasional snark. You'll still get the links to past episodes of "Gillespie" on FTR, but you'll also get a look at some of the things I've worked on in the past, plus get a glimpse of who I am outside of "work".
So, I hope you like the new site. Let me know what you think.

Being coeliac I always try to focus on all the great things I can eat rather than the things I have to leave out. For quickness, it's fabulous that there are now so many great convenience foods that are gluten free. However, there are some occasions when I do spot things that I really would love to have but I am then unable to find a suitable gluten free readymade alternative. Not to be beaten I will check out google to find the equivalent recipe and have a bash at making my own gluten free version. Sometimes the recipe will be naturally gluten free and sometimes it may be necessary to swap a couple of ingredients around to make it safe.
The inspiration for my blog this month came from a tin of mulligatawny soup sat on my colleague's desk. Unfortunately, as this soup contained gluten it was no good for me, so I popped off to the supermarket to check out some other brands but again they all contained gluten. This gave me the perfect "when you can't buy it make it" scenario!!
I found this recipe for Mulligatawny soup on the BBC good food website…it's a Hairy biker one and it's nice and easy to make and tastes amazing….so good in fact, that I'm actually glad I couldn't have the readymade version as I never would have got around to discovering this rather marvellous recipe! I did also chop up a fresh chilli and popped it in right at the start of the recipe, as I do love things extra hot and spicy, and for me the addition of the chilli made the "heat" of the soup perfect!!
The Ingredients
- 25g/1oz butter
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, cut into 1.5cm/ ⅝in cubes
- 2 celery sticks, thinly sliced
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled, cut into 1.5cm/⅝in cubes
- 1 eating apple, peeled, quartered, cut into 1.5cm/⅝in cubes
- 1 tbsp medium curry powder
- 1 vegetable or chicken stock cube (*see link below)
- 1litre/1¾ pints boiling water
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tbsp mango chutney
- 100g/3½oz basmati rice
- 100g/3½oz natural yoghurt or soured cream, to serve
- fresh coriander or flat-leaf parsley, to garnish (optional)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
*As always check out all ingredient to make sure they are gluten free and suitable for your diet.
Melt the butter with the oil in a large saucepan and stir in the onion, garlic, carrots, celery and sweet potato. Cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring regularly until the vegetables are beginning to soften and brown lightly. Stir in the apple pieces and sprinkle over the curry powder. Cook for a further 2 minutes more, stirring as it cooks.
Crumble the stock cube into a measuring jug, and pour over the boiling water. Mix to combine. Pour into the pan, and stir in the tomato purée and mango chutney. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat slightly and leave to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
While the soup is simmering, half-fill a medium pan with water and bring to the boil. Add the rice and return to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Drain the rice in a sieve and rinse under running water until cold.
When the soup is ready, cool the soup for a few minutes and blend with a stick blender or in a food processor until smooth before stirring in the cooled rice. If you want a more rustic texture to the soup, do not blend.
Add enough water to give a good consistency, (about 150-200ml/5½-7fl oz). Heat the soup for 3–4 minutes until piping hot and check the seasoning, add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into deep bowls and top each with a spoonful of natural yoghurt or soured cream. Garnish with sprigs of coriander or flat-leaf parsley if you like.
Juvela gluten free long life rolls have been a firm favourite of mine for many years. A freshly buttered fibre one really hit the spot to accompany this spicy, warming soup!!
There's not many things that cannot be made as a gluten free alternative…. recipes can be jigged and gluten containing ingredients such as flour can be replaced for gluten free ones instead….So much joy is in eating, don't let coeliac make your gluten free diet less colourful!!
Bon-Appetit (Gluten free of course!)

Securing A Dash Coin Wallet: Affluence Network: Finance Without Borders
We would like to thank you for coming to our site in search for "Securing A Dash Coin Wallet" online. It's certainly possible, but it must have the ability to comprehend opportunities irrespective of market behavior. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be fine. Blockchains are capable of unleashing several new programs. There are many advantages associated with using Blockchains. Some of the advantages include increased It should be challenging to get more modest gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having small gains is more lucrative than trying to resist up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to have a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Second, there's more volatility and compensation in currencies that never have made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making massive ammonts of cash with various forms of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on quite lucrative business models made accessible as a result of growing use of blockchain technology.
Securing A Dash Coin Wallet – The Affluence Network: Artificial Intelligence may soon Drive Wealth
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers assert that there is "actual" value, even through there is no physical representation of that value. The value increases due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some form of wages so that you can ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions resides.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be just that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It really is also possible the regulators simply do not understand the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act. In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might also be traded as a product. Promoters of cryptocurrencies proclaim that sort of virtual cash isn't manipulated with a fundamental bank system and is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted amount of items, this moneyis worth is founded on market forces, enabling owners to industry over cryptocurrency transactions. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much higher potential for solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, based on the number of "shares" won.
If you're thinking about going it alone, it's worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This option also creates a secure flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the benefit. The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the dynamics of the method in which it's transacted. All deals on the crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. When you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything temporary wherever your customers could dispute or require a concessions, or employ dishonest sleight of palm. In practice, most traders would be wise to utilize a cost processor, due to the irreversible dynamics of crypto currency dealings, you should make certain that security is challenging. With any kind of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers might get access to your private tips and therefore steal your money. Sadly, you almost certainly will never get it back. It's vitally important for you to embrace some great safe and secure procedures when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing this will guard you from all of these unfavorable events. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is simply a representation of value, but there isn't any actual tangible type of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed. When searching on the internet forSecuring A Dash Coin Wallet, there are many things to think of.
Securing A Dash Coin Wallet: The Borderless Coin: The Affluence Network
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Securing A Dash Coin Wallet. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the variety of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation isn't to imply that markets usually are not vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there is no need for large amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest events on the planet market can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. As one of the oldest forms of making money is in money financing, it really is a fact you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the financing sites currently focus on business of Bitcoin, but I am certain there will be one or two who will already have arrived in/nearby that can give other monies. Some sites are currently out: valves: these are sites where you fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a little amount of coins for that faucet. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of tap into the money of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some sites of tap comprise: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. The new ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity too. How to develop a decent strategy and examine it in the light of these issues? Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more resistant to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be reached by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. This mining action validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something illegal, it isn't recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see forever. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also get involved in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence a transaction happened. This can be potentially used within an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. If you are looking for Securing A Dash Coin Wallet, look no further than The Affluence Network.
Securing A Dash Coin Wallet – TAN: Programmed for Wealth
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not essential to understand how the procedure works in and of itself, but it's fundamentally crucial that you understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Authorities and banks can simply select to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. You've probably seen this often times where you typically distribute the nice word about crypto. "It's not risky? What happens if the value failures? " sofar, many POS devices gives free conversion of fiat, alleviating some worry, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people will be hesitant to carry any. We must find a way to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. Many individuals choose to use a money deflation, particularly people who desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal solitude, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living pay check to pay check, it'd take place included in your wealth, with the remainder reserved for other currencies.

Sorry for not posting much over Christmas and New Year. I haven't really had the chance! Plus I've been ill with some sort of flu and I had a pretty terrible day yesterday (well Monday, as it's technically Wednesday) but everything is okay now! :-) I want to relax and sleep but earlier one of the cats managed to turn the gas cooker on and it leaked gas for about 10 minutes before I noticed. (stupid blocked nose!) Now I'm paranoid they'll do it again and the house will blow up while I sleep. ;|

David Williams
About David
David Williams has been practicing yoga daily, without interruption, since 1971.
In 1972, David met K. P. Manju , the son of K. Pattabhi Jois, and saw him demonstrate the Ashtanga Yoga Primary series. This was at Dr. Swami Gitananda's Ananda Ashram in Pondicherry, South India, where David received his Six Month Yoga Teachers Training Course Certification.
In 1973, David began learning Ashtanga Yoga from K. Pattabhi Jois at his home in Mysore, India, and he became the first non-Indian taught the complete Ashtanga Yoga system of asanas and pranayama directly from Jois. In 1974, David became one of the first non-Indians certified to teach the Ashtanga Yoga asanas. He is also one of the few people ever certified by Jois to teach the Ashtanga Yoga Pranayama.
In 1975, David introduced K. Pattabhi Jois and Manju Jois to America when he, along with Nancy Gilgoff, organized and sponsored their first visit to Encinitas, California.
David is responsible for teaching the Ashtanga Yoga system to many of today's leading teachers and practitioners, including David Swenson, Doug Swenson, Danny Paradise, Cliff Barber, Baptiste Marceau, Bryan Kest, Jonny Kest, Clifford Sweatte, Ricky Tran, Kathy Cooper, and Andrew Eppler.
David is 67 years old. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has lived on the island of Maui, Hawaii, since l976.

School of Pharmacy, Henan University of Chinese Medicine, Zhengzhou, China
Introduction: To investigate the effect of baicalein on Proliferating cellular nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression in dynamic process of murine fore-stomach carcinoma.
Materials and methods: Dynamic animal models of murine fore-stomach carcinoma were established with the equal volume mixing (abbreviated as NSEE) of Sacrosine-ehylester-hydrochlorid and Sodium nitrite as a mutagen. 90 NIH mice (SPF) was divided into blank control group, the negative control group, high (1000mg kg-1), medium (500mg kg-1) and low (200mg kg-1) dose groups with baicalein (dissolved with 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution). In the experiment,all group were treated with NSEE, twice a week for six weeks by gavage,without the blank group (with equal volume of 0.9% saline). Meanwhile, all interventional groups with Baicalein were treated with baicalein solution by gavage once a day. The fore-stomach tissues were taken on 28th, 5 6th and 84th day for pathological observation. The PCNA expression in the fore-stomach tissues was observed by immunohistochemistry.
Results: Compared with the blank control group, for interventional group,fore-stomach tissues was gradually evolves from hyperplastic lesions to atypical hyperplasia,or even carcinoma in situ,and the PCNA expression in the negative control group increa- ses significantly (P <0.01) by immunohistochemistry. Compared with the negative control group,the situation is the slightest in high dose group by pathological sections at 84d, the experimental results by immunohistochemistry showed that PCNA expression of high,medium and low dose baicalein intervention groups was significantly different from that of model group (P <0.01), but there was no significant difference among the groups.
Conclusion: High, medium and low doses of baicalein can significantly inhibit NSEE-induced fore-stomach cancer carcinogenesis in mice, which may be related to down-regulation of PCNA expression.

|Spell Rarity
|Spell Type
|Combat Instant
|Casting Cost
|Research Cost
Each figure in the target unit must Resist or be destroyed.Units with Stoning Immunity completely ignore this spell.
Petrify is a Rare Combat Instant belonging to the Nature Magic realm. For 35 it may be cast on an enemy unit during combat. Each figure in the targeted unit makes a Resistance roll, with failure meaning the instant death of that figure. Petrify is a Stoning Damage attack, so enemy units with Stoning Immunity will never fail their Resistance rolls against this spell.
Effects Edit
Petrify attempts to turn an entire enemy unit into stone, instantly killing any number of figures from that unit.
Petrification Edit
Petrify delivers a single attack against a targeted enemy unit during combat, delivering Stoning Damage.
When the spell is cast on a unit, each figure in that unit gets to make its own Resistance roll. If a figure fails its roll, it is destroyed immediately. If all figures in the target unit have failed their Resistance rolls, the unit is completely destroyed.
This Stoning Damage attack does not modify the unit's Resistance score, so units with 10 or higher are completely immune to it.
The same goes for units with Stoning Immunity: they may not be affected by this spell.
Usage Edit
Petrify may only be cast during combat, for the Casting Cost of 35. It must be targeted at an enemy unit. Although it is possible to target an enemy unit possessing 10 (or higher) or the Stoning Immunity ability, such units will not be affected by the spell and thus casting it upon them is simply a waste of Mana.
The visual effect showing Petrify in action is a puff of green-colored smoke covering the targeted unit. Each figure in the unit which fails its Resistance roll will simply disappear (killed off).
Acquisition Edit
As a Rare Nature spell, Petrify may become available to any Wizard who possesses at least 2 Spellbooks. However, its availability during the game is not guaranteed unless the Wizard acquires at least 10 Spellbooks.
Customized Wizards possessing 11 Spellbooks at creation time may choose this spell as one of their default spells before starting the game, in which case the spell will already be researched and available for casting immediately on the first turn.
Wizards with 2 to 9 Spellbooks have a random chance of being able to Research Petrify during the game. The chance for this spell to appear for research increases with the number of Nature Spellbooks the Wizard possesses or obtains during gameplay. With 10 or 11 Spellbooks, the spell is guaranteed to appear for Research at some point, if it is not already available for casting.
Petrify has a base Research Cost of 880.
With at least 2 Spellbooks, the Petrify spell may be acquired as a reward for winning encounters in creature Lairs, Towers, et cetera, or when conquering the Fortress of a rival wizard who has already researched this spell.
Strategy Edit
Petrify can be an extremely dangerous spell to use against low-tier Normal Units or any other unit that has a low Resistance score. It stands a good chance of utterly destroying such units, or at least killing off most of their figures.
Unfortunately, the spell is far less effective against highly Resistant units, but still has some chance of killing powerful creatures instantly if they possess 9 or less. The chance of this, however, is much lower.

Charles Edwin Taylor om konsekvenserne af oprøret for general Buddhoe (1888)
Charles Edwin Taylor (1843-?) var en engelsk læge bosat på St. Thomas og både medlem af og sekretær for The Colonial Council of the Danish Antilles. Han var også forfatter til bl.a. Leaflets from the Danish West Indies (1888) og An Island of the Sea (1895) – sidstnævnte om St. Thomas. Kildeteksten er et uddrag fra Leaflet from the Danish West Indies og er Charles Edwin Taylors egne ord om afslutningen på de oprørsdage, der betød frigørelse for den slavegjorte befolkning. Taylor nævner i dette stykke hvilke konsekvenser oprøret siges at have haft for general Buddhoe.
Uddrag fra Charles Edwin Taylor: Leaflets from the Danish West Indies, Descriptive of the Social, Political, and Commercial Condition of these Islands.1888, Kessinger Legacy Reprints, side 144-145.
His Excellency Peter Hansen1 arrived shortly afterwards in the capacity of King's Commissioner and ad interim2 Governor for the Danish West India Islands. He possessed full authority to regulate the existing difficulties and pass all necessary laws to govern planters and labourers in their relation to each other. Some experience had already been gained in these relations whilst he delayed his coming, and he was not, therefore, without some guidance under his arduous and responsible duty. His measures were wisely taken. In a short time he passed an Act, the provisions of which were commendable for their wisdom and adaption to meet the state of existing circumstances. This was generally known as 'The Labour Act', until the Riots of 1878, when it became, like slavery, its predecessor and prototype, a thing to be numbered with the past.
We have but little more to add to this sketch of the Emancipation in the Danish West India Islands. Buddhoe, or General Bourdeaux, after a forcible abduction from West End, was handed over as a prisoner to the authorities in Bassin.3 Major Gyllich, whose life had been saved by him, did not desert him. It is said that he even shared his imprisonment some days, having pledged his word that no harm should arrive to him. Though the nominal leader of the rioters, Buddhoe had done the island good service by preventing them from committing more excesses than they did. Placed on board the 'Ornen', Governor-General Hansen left it to the captain to land him anywhere he saw fit on any one of the other West India Islands. Dressed as a gentleman, Buddhoe went on board well provided with clothes and other necessaries, only to have them taken off as soon as the vessel was out of port and to be put to work among the crew. On the 8th of January, 1849, he was landed at Port of Spain, Trinidad, where Captain Irminger told him that if he ever went back to the Danish West Indies, he would forfeit his life. He is said to have been seen in Curacao4 afterwards, whence he proceeded to the United States of America.5

Profit and education aren't mutually exclusive
Ian Lindquist, American Enterprise Institute, 2016/08/02
I think that the people arguing for the privatization of education are going to have to come up with better arguments. Writing for US News & World Report, Ian Lindquist says, "Education is not the only sector that provides public goods. Indeed, there are many public goods handled by private companies: hospitals, prisons and transportation systems operated by for-profit providers ensure public health, public safety and public transportation." These examples prove quite the opposite. The privatization of hospitals, prisons and transportation has proven to be to the detriment of all three services, resulting in lower standards (sometimes verging on abuse) and higher costs.
Simone de Beauvoir Defends Existentialism & Her Feminist Masterpiece, The Second Sex, in Rare 1959 TV Interview
Dan Colman, Open Culture, 2016/08/02
It has always puzzled me what writers mean when they label a video "rare" as in this case. Is there only one copy (now a billion copies on the web)? Is it a subject that doesn't come up a lot? Whatever. Get out of your comfort zone. Watch this video. Ponder life, existence and death. And what it all means. (RIP Seymour Papert)
In Memory: Seymour Papert
MIT Media Lab, 2016/08/02
Seymour Papert passed away on Sunday and the web is - not surprisingly - full of tributes. I remember him most as an artificial intelligence researcher, and colleague of Marvin Minsky, but he is more widely recognized as an education innovator and theorist. I met him only once, back in 2003 or so, at a conference in Quebec City. These last few days the web has been full of tributes, not surprisingly.
From Paulo Blikstein, some links:
Tributes and such:
Why ontologies are best left implicit (especially for credentials)
Doug Belshaw, Ambiguiti.es, 2016/08/02
This is exactly right: "the attempt to define what 'exists' within a given system is usually a conservative, essentialist move. It's often concerned with retro-fitting new things into the current status quo, a kind of Kuhnian attempt to save what might be termed 'normal science'." What follows this promising start is an interesting and useful discussion of Richard Rorty and "dead metaphors". I agree with Belshaw's scepticism of ontologies. And as Douglas Rushkoff says, "It's this automatic acceptance of how things are that leads to a sense of helplessness about changing any of them."

Teen's First Job? How Can You Encourage Wise Saving and Investing?
A first job can be an important rite of passage—whether your teen is working to purchase (or insure) a vehicle, to pay for entertainment expenses, or even to help fund college tuition, he or she is likely excited for the freedom and independence a job will provide. However, depending upon your teen's personality and lifestyle choices, the funds earned may be used wisely or squandered before summer's end. Read on to learn more about some ways you can encourage your teen to use his or her earned income to provide income and benefits far into the future.
Check tax withholdings
Before your teen receives a single paycheck, he or she will be required to fill out a W-4 form to specify the amount of federal and state income tax that will be withheld from his or her pay and remitted to the IRS and your state's department of revenue (if your state has income taxes).
Unless your teen has dependents or lives on his or her own, it's unlikely he or she will need to enter many exemptions (which generally lower the amount of income tax withheld from each paycheck). However, it's worthwhile for your teen to fill out the exemption worksheet before submitting a W-4 form to ensure he or she is selecting the most appropriate withholding option. While receiving a hefty income tax refund after doing taxes next year can seem like a way to encourage involuntary savings, this practice essentially operates as providing the government with an interest-free loan until the following tax year. A better option is to have the correct amount withheld from each check and set up a dedicated savings plan.
Investigate online banking options
"Out of sight, out of mind" doesn't just apply to interpersonal relationships—it can also help boost your savings rate. While having a checking or savings account at a local brick and mortar bank can help your teen learn to balance a checkbook (and allow him or her access to instant cash without paying an exorbitant ATM surcharge), this convenience and easy access can make it more difficult to save funds for the long term.
Opening an online savings account with a bank that doesn't have local branches can allow your teen to periodically transfer savings to this account to render them more difficult to access. While online savings accounts are just as safe and secure as those available at brick and mortar banks, it can often take up to a week to transfer funds from an online account to a local checking or savings account, helping your teen stem impulse purchases and set aside long-term savings without putting a high "available" balance on his or her radar each time he or she visits the bank or makes a withdrawal from an ATM.
Consider opening a retirement account
Starting a retirement account in conjunction with beginning one's first job may seem like overkill. owever, the true power of compound interest is demonstrated best through frequent (and early) investments. If your teen begins putting aside even a small amount of his or her earned income into a retirement investment that offers preferable tax treatment, he or she will enjoy increased financial flexibility later in life, perhaps even being able to retire earlier than planned or leave a bad job situation without a backup.
Unless your teen is skilled enough to earn more than $131,000 in his or her first year of work, he or she should qualify to open a Roth IRA. Roth IRA contributions are made post-tax, and all contributions and gains can be withdrawn tax-free in retirement, giving them decades to grow in the meantime. Another benefit to the Roth IRA that may serve your teen well is the account holder's ability to withdraw contributions at any time without paying the penalty often assessed on withdrawals from other types of retirement accounts. This means that the funds your teen invests today could later be used for college, to pay for a wedding, or as a down payment on his or her first home.

We have been to a few over the top Sweet 16 parties this year. Some of them certainly must have cost more than our wedding! Scottsdale is a strange little bubble with kids driving BMWs, Mercedes G63s, and many getting brand new cars for their 16th birthday.
Hailey had a pool party with all of her friends for her Sweet 16 but she wanted it to be very low key. No theme was allowed and she was unusually concerned about being embarrassed. She didn't even want a cake. She more wanted just a party without her being the center of attention. She didn't want a DJ or anything fancy. She made the play list, we made burgers and dogs, and they all just hung out.
I told her if she was having a birthday party she had to have a cake and let us sing Happy Birthday to her!
She agreed but asked if it had to have candles. Of course! I am so embarrassing. I told her you only have a few really special birthdays left and 16 is one of the big ones.
Her friends were cute as they sang to her.
I think she will forgive me one day. :)
After cake I brought out a new driver basket gift. It had all the things you need in your car. An emergency roadside assistance kit with jumper cables, flashlight, flares, and a first aid kit. It also had sunshades, a cold and hot travel mug, a gift card to Starbucks, Kleenex, chapstick, an Arizona map just in case the phone is lost or broken. I added a Tree car freshener, hand sanitizer, and a new keyring with a cross on it that also had a new key on it but she didn't notice. I also put a phone jack cable in the basket.
We had been planning on having her drive the truck. That is what we have taught her to drive in and was what she was expecting. However, the truck has taken a few hits like the AC going out, the stereo is blown, and now the drivers window doesn't work. The one thing she really wanted, even over AC was a stereo that she could access the music from her phone. Well, the 2000 Chevy stereo certainly did not have that capability. We had planed to get her a new sound system before the truck started falling apart. Then I started to feel bad she would have to drive such huge car. Driving the bus is hard for me and I have been driving a long time and the truck has an even worse turning radius. We began to look at cars....
When she grabbed the AUX cord I told her we needed to go check out her new system! The younger kids were waiting with confetti blasters to blast her as she walked out to her new car!
All the pieces fell into order for us to buy her a 2006 Toyota 4Runner. It has a nice stereo and a sunroof! Mama will feel safe with her in a bigger car and our mechanic says these cars can easily go for 300K miles and are inexpensive to repair. All three important for her as she goes off to college in two years where money and reliability are very important.
She was so surprised!
The one thing Hailey really did want at her party was photo booth set up.
Max constructed the backdrop she wanted and we ordered a bunch of props. They had so much fun taking pics.
Our artistic gal really enjoyed making beautiful pictures.
One of the coolest thing about Hailey is that she is friends with many different types of kids.
She had her alternative friends, her church friends, and school friends.
Everyone all mingled together. I was worried there might be awkward and isolated groups but they all just hung out together.
Hailey said it was the best birthday party she has ever had. :)
Happy Birthday!!

Nicky Hammerlane here, finally taking a pie break. Whew, has it been a whirlwind last few weeks. And to think I'm supposed to be retired. Well, "semi" retired anyway. You'd think when the old guy sells the company to the younger generations in the family, the old guy would get to take a break every once in a while. Well, let this be a lesson to all you older truckers out there - don't let your grandson dispatch you. Why, you ask? Because grandpa can't say 'no' to a grandchild.
Enough about my woes. So I'm sitting at the counter in one of the few truckstops in America that still has a sit-down restaurant, savoring one of my favorite pastimes - a big cup of joe and hot apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
It was about then I heard what sounded like a wild bull coming through the front door. Well, it wasn't any bull, but let's say if I was a bull, and this guy came through the door, I'd be looking for the nearest exit. To put it mildly, the bellowing trucker wasn't happy and he was letting everyone know it.
"@#$% son of a !#%&, that $@& did it to me again. Second @%&* load he's stolen from me in a week. And now that son of a @$#& thinks he's going to get my shipper. There's no @%$& way he can haul a load for that cheap!" He cussed, while making a beeline to the counter - and dang if he doesn't sit down just two stools to my left. Then he banged his fist on the counter so hard that both my pie and coffee jump three inches into the air, with the coffee spilling over onto the pie and ice cream. Totaled. What a waste.
He looked me square in the eye and said, "Bet you're one of those damn cheap freight haulers too," then yelled, "Marge, get me a cup of thick black coffee. I'm going to need it 'cause I'm fixin' to kick some cheap freight hauler's butt!"
I thought, "I'm too dang old for this. No pie is worth getting into a fight over." So I grabbed my black Stetson, set it on my head and got up, looked for the door.
About then this bruiser of a trucker stood up, square in front of me. "Wait a minute. Are you who I think you are?"
"Depends," I answered. "Who do you want me to be?"
"Black Stetson; white 9900IX with the big sleeper in the parking lot. You Nicky Hammerlane?"
"I cannot lie," I said. "Nor can I hide. That be me."
"B.A. Rhoades of Rhoades Trucking, that's who I am," the big trucker announced.
I thought, B.A., huh? The way you came in here, I can't imagine what it stands for." I responded, "Nicky Hammerlane, N. Hammerlane & Son. Glad to meet you, B.A.. What can I do for you?"
B.A. began, "I've been looking for you for over a month now. I apologize for my entry – you know you're like trying to find a needle in a haystack?" He continued without drawing a breath. "But I have this one competitor; actually he's a lot bigger than I am, he's got about 20 trucks, I've got 12. Anyway, tried to buy me out about six months ago. Would've sold if the offer'd been reasonable, but it wasn't."
Then B.A. kind of leaned down to look me full in the face. "So he said, "O.K., then I'll just steal all your customers. At the time I thought he'd never do it. Why? Because his CSA score's out the window, his drivers look like they're shopping a big box store - flip-flops, sweat pants and dirty, torn T-shirts. Trucks and trailers are dirty too. Figured I had nothing to worry about." B.A. finally had to breathe, and dadgum, he was still blowing fumes and flames.
"Well, last month he got my second-biggest customer to drop me. Underbid the loads by 70 cents per mile! I know my numbers. I know what it takes to run a truck and that lane and even with his rattletraps, he can't do it for long. But the customer doesn't know this. Then just twenty minutes ago, my other big customer calls and tells me the same story: 70 cents per mile less. I'm not normally a violent person, but the temptation is great, know what I mean?"
"No apology needed, B.A., your reaction is totally understandable," I said. "Now, how do I figure into this?"
"Well, when he stole my first customer, I reacted about the same. Came stompin' in here an' a trucker by the name of …let me think… Duggon, yeah, Duke Duggon, said you turned his trucking business around. Something about teaching him how to set hauling rates for LTL. I asked him how to contact you. But he'd gotten a new phone and after looking for your number for 10 minutes, he didn't have it. So he told me to watch for the white International with N. Hammerlane and Son on the door - and described you right down to the black Stetson. Frankly, I'd given up on finding you, until you put on the hat and everything clicked. I need you to help me get my customers back or find decent-paying replacements. From everything I've heard, you're the man."
I stood there for a minute, then looked at the spilled coffee, pie and melted ice cream still on the counter. "Tell you what - if you can afford my fee, you've got a deal."
B.A. sat back down. "A fee? Not sure I can afford what this is worth if it works," he sighed. "But hit me with the fee."
"First, let's get a table, as I'll need more details," I began. "Second, the first payment needs to be made today - one slice of hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream and a big cup of coffee. Then if we're successful, you agree to make a donation in the amount you think it's worth to the St. Christopher Fund: A Truck Driver Charity."
"What about some money for you?" he asked.
"B.A.," I said. "I've had my success, so now it's time to pass the sword to another Knight of the Road. By having you make a donation to the Truck Driver Charity, I've successfully helped two people, and passed the sword at the same time."
I signaled Marge that we were moving to a table towards the back for privacy, and to deliver two apple pies with ice cream and two cups of coffee. This was going to take a bit of ingenuity, which meant time to chew over the details as well as the pie.
Join Nicky for the next installment of The Case of the Rate War in our blog. How will he help B.A. Rhoades get his customers back from the bottom-feeding trucking company – or will it even be possible?
Very entertaining

There are millions of people who get divorced from the field of network marketing. But I don't think it's what they really wanted. They started with high hopes. Rather like a marriage that starts with high hopes. Then like most marriages, a sobering reality sets in. Oops, this is going to take more work than I thought. In some cases, a lot more work.
I'm not surprised by the number of "divorces" from the profession of network marketing, but I am surprised at the number of people who work through the disillusionment and make something of it. The number of skills necessary to start and grow the business is considerable. Practicing these skills just got easier. Read on.
Perhaps you already know what the required skill sets are. The expertises to prospect, understand the sales cycle for your product, follow through after the contacts, and then if you grow your downline, be a good coach and trainer. To top it off, it would be good to have the emotional resiliency of a boxing speed bag.
But there is an unexpected surprise when you begin to grow your business. Every day you face the burden of freedom. You get to choose whether you take action or postpone it. Nobody but yourself pushes you to take action. Congratulations, you are the new boss. However, some days you have an employee who doesn't want to go to work. When you go to work, you take action. With each action, you have the opportunity to succeed or have a "learning experience."
Sometimes distributors get so flooded with learning experiences, they stop taking action. They stop taking action in order to avoid emotional pain. That's understandable. But another problem arises. The guilt, embarrassment, and self-criticism that follow the lack of action. All this takes a toll on the self-esteem.
What started out with high hopes now becomes a job of high distress. You don't want to quit and it seems too hard to take the consistent action to succeed. It's a serious dilemma with no good way out. Until now.
If there was a way to take difficult action and feel good instead of distress, that would be a relief. If you could learn to do this in minutes that would be better. If you could learn this very soon, it might even be best of all.
Well, you can. In fact, there is a free training on how to take action that has been troubling you. On August 17 you can learn a new process called "Change Without Pain." It can help you take actions that you have been avoiding. It can be about some aspect of prospecting, follow up phone calls, getting organized, or some other action you have been avoiding. The action can be in your personal or professional life.
All you need to do is think of some action you want to take and some good reasons for taking it. That's it. The rest is up to me. I will walk one or two volunteers through the process. They will serve as a model for you to take the same gentle, easy steps with the privacy of your own computer.
You will get written instructions to take with you on how to do the Change Without Pain process so you can apply it to other areas of your life. You can also teach it to people in your downline so their productivity will improve. They will thank you for that.
You will also learn about motivation and how you can motivate yourself by manipulating the three components of motivation. For example, by reducing the amount of unpleasant effort necessary for your success, your motivation increases. The more motivated you are, well - you know where that leads.
So tune in on --- and you will be glad you said "I did."

Get ready for a cheese rolling bank holiday with a Metal Design Furniture dining table
Next week is the late May bank holiday, which means time off work to spend with the family, hopefully in the sunshine, for all of us. However, if you happen to live near Cooper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, this holiday means a very unusual tradition as well!
For many years now, locals in this pretty village have congregated to chase a 9lb sphere of Double Gloucester cheese down the hill, with the first person past the finish line as the victor.
This madcap pursuit is rumoured to have started out either as a way to decide grazing rights on the hill, or as part of a pagan tradition of rolling objects which also saw bundles of burning brushwood sent down hills in order to symbolise a new year dawning after winter.
Although hazardous as times, the cheese rolling is hugely popular, with crowds of as many as 2,000 gathering to watch the race, the winner of which is expected to perform a shirtless dash back up the hill to place the cheese on its ceremonial plinth.
We don't necessarily recommend that you try this at home! But if instead you feel like treating yourself to a lovely table full of cheese and biscuits to welcome in the start of summer, how about having a look at our range of dining tables? Our Castrum Fused Glass table, starting at £522, is the perfect size for a sophisticated cheese-board. Or, if your family is more the outdoors type, how about laying out a fromage feast on our Oliver Garden table, which starts at just £175? Whichever you decide to go for, there's a Metal Design Furniture table which can support even the biggest cheese!

Since the ceasefire of 1994, both domestically and at the international levels, information is regularly are released that pretty soon peacekeeping troops would be deployed along the Karabakh-Azerbaijani borderline. Fortunately, this information so far remains at the level of rumors. Once again, these rumors began in the end of July during the tension along the borderline. After the tripartite Sochi meeting of presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia, the rumors were focused on the "Russian peacekeepers". But as many experts, war veterans, politicians, so as Armenia's and NKR Defense Ministers were of one and the same opinion that we do not need peacekeepers.
At the press conference on August 6, Armenia's Defense Minister, Seyran Ohanyan, said, "Among all conflict zones in the world, Karabakh is the only conflict zone where relative peace is maintained without the third-party force, through a balance of forces, and thanks to our advantage of fighting spirit and quality preparedness. We estimate the situation as a 'no war, no peace' state, because the ceasefire terms are constantly violated by the rival. Thanks to our officer preparedness, we preserve the situation. When we talk about the balance of forces, one can immediately conclude what quantitative and qualitative preparedness means. In that sense, we can solve the problems facing us independently, and currently, there is no need for deployment of peacekeeping forces. "
In his turn, at a press conference on August 19, in Stepanakert, NKR Defense Minister, Movses Hakobyan had said, "For us, the best peacekeeper is the troop of Defense Army, we do not feel the need for any other peacekeepers."
Meanwhile, on August 10, at the interview to "ArmNews", to the question of the journalist about the Russian peacekeepers, President of the Republic of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, had responded as follows, "It is the first time I have hear about only the Russian peacekeepers, and, in general, the Madrid principles imply the deployment of peacekeepers along the whole length of the contact line, i.e. between the conflicting sides. But it is not the subject of these negotiations, because the mere principle itself has to be discussed, namely whether there will be peacekeepers or not. The document of Kazan envisages this provision. The composition of the peacekeeping forces, their powers will be specified in the Final Agreement that should follow the signing of the mentioned instrument."
To the question of "Aravot" how to understand this, and whether this mean that the deployment of peacekeepers likely, political scientist Armen Minasyan replied, "Serzh Sargsyan's clarification is not in any conflict with the stance expressed by the defense ministers of Armenia and Artsakh. As far as one can judge, both Seyran Ohanyan and Movses Hakobyan, had made a reference to the issue of peacekeepers in the context of recent escalation in the Contact line. Their stances evidently showed that the Armenian side considers its own armed forces the best guarantee for preservation of peace and security of the Artsakh people. This, naturally, is reasonable and perceivable, if we consider what failures various peacekeeping missions had in different hotbeds around the world.
With regard to the clarification by the president, then nothing new has been said. In their numerous statements, the leaders of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries (Aquila, Muskoka, Deauville, Los Cabos, etc.) have wiretapped some clauses of proposals put on the negotiation table, from which it becomes clear that one of the elements of comprehensive solution to the conflict is the implementation of the peacekeeping actions. The same statements repeatedly noted that the proposed principles and elements are a whole, therefore, one can conclude that the peacekeeping actions implies only to the comprehensive settlement, about which we can speak only in case of elaboration of the so-called "Big Peace Agreement", the discussion of which is planned after the basic principles agreed upon. Since the parties have not reached an agreement on the principles of settlement, currently speaking about the big agreements and the settlement is too early now. In other words, it is too early to talk about the inevitability for deployment of peacekeepers."

Mary Sommerfield misses her full-time job as a greeter at Walmart, but she is having so much fun at Homestead of Leavenworth assisted living where she has lived for about a year, she doesn't spend an inordinate amount of time dwelling on memories of her 32 years at the business.
Mary Sommerfield misses her full-time job as a greeter at Walmart, but she is having so much fun at Homestead of Leavenworth assisted living where she has lived for about a year, she doesn't spend an inordinate amount of time dwelling on memories of her 32 years at the business.
Working at the retail giant was her first — and only job, and she never grew tired of it.
She stopped working at age 91 and has embraced the next chapter of her life at Homestead, but misses the associates and customers she saw regularly and befriended at Walmart.
Many customers still ask about Mary.
"I had some customers who regularly came in just to see me," she said.
"I loved the customers and staff," says Mary. "People have asked me if Walmart made me quit because of my age, but they never would have done that. It was my choice."
Mary lost her husband, Robert Sommerfield, who taught math at Leavenworth High School for many years, 11 years ago, and all three of her children have passed away. The routine of working had helped her tremendously with coping. "Working gave me a sense of purpose and it kept me moving," says Mary.
Her determination to keep working proved to be a gift to her co-workers also. "The associates really enjoyed working with Mary," says Ashley Henning, co-manager at Walmart. "She worked in a lot of different departments and everyone really liked her. As a greeter, she would talk to everyone who came in. She loved seeing all the people. Working gave her a purpose each day to get out and do something."
Ashley believes that having associates of all ages at Walmart is good for everybody. "It goes both ways," says Ashley. "The older generation has lots of experience and the younger generation has tech skills that they can share."
When asked if she would like to be a greeter at Walmart when she is 91, Ashley, who is 31, said she's not sure at this point in her life, but she would definitely like to stay employed with Walmart.
Mary initially began working at the company to keep busy. She says she never liked to sit around and watch television and she is always looking for something to do.
When Mary had to stop driving at 89, Mary Wise, claims supervisor at Walmart and other associates would pick her up and take her home. "A lot of the associates volunteered to drive her to and from work," says Henning. "They wanted to help. We're a family at Walmart."
"Mary enjoyed talking to the customers," says Wise. "Everyone was sad to see her go but understood that due to bad weather and her age she decided to retire. Mary was always busy and enjoyed what she did. And she was good at what she did. Customers would bring her food or fresh things from their gardens. On her birthday, if they knew when it was, they would bring flowers for her. Some customers asked about her or asked if Walmart made her retire. But she made the decision to retire, not Walmart. A lot of the customers knew her from her husband who was a teacher at Leavenworth High School. So some of his students would come in and talk to her. Many people would often stop and chat with her."
Mary says she feels very at home at the assisted living facility and the wide range of activities and new friends at Homestead keep her very active. "It's very clean and good fun and there is no time to get bored," says Mary. She is a big believer in exercise and works out three times a week at Homestead.
Although she has six rods in her back due to a broken tailbone after she tripped and fell, she emphasizes that this injury won't stop her. "Keep moving, if you don't move it you will lose it," says Mary.
Her husband had privately taken care of all the arrangements for Mary to live at Homestead so that after he was gone and when she felt she would need assistance she would have a place to live with people to help her when she needed it. "I didn't know about any of it," says Mary. "He always took good care of me."
She has two grandchildren and five great-grandkids, but none live locally. Her grandson came and helped her with the move to Homestead.
Henning said the thing she misses most every day since Mary has been gone is her smile.
And while Mary has embraced retirement at 91, part of her still misses the '9 to 5' of her job, fellow associates and customers.
"I just want to thank all the wonderful people at Walmart and Homestead," says Mary.

Now, as mentioned on Crunchyroll's twitter, an image was posted from a bbs to various blogs, presumably from Young Gangan 12 which comes out this Friday, stating that there will be two huge announcements on the band of volume 8. What are they? OVA? TV Season 2? Movie? Drama? Game? BD Box? Here are some things to think about.
It's obviously season 2! Not so fast. While possible, season 2 would be starved of material, especially for anything more than 12 episodes. The first series covered approximately 6.5 volumes in approximately 22 episodes. Including volume 8, there are approximately 3 additional volumes worth of material published since. The math is not too favorable. However, a movie or OVA might be possible.
A live action drama? A basically typical, or in other words lacking any source, 2ch rumor states that 3 Young Gangan properties are being turned into dramas. The first and already announced one is Arakawa Under the Bridge. The second is "A work with a lot of girls." That would describe Saki... and many other things. Though, with a live action Saki, how would they handle things like Nodoka and the super short skirts with an apparent lack of clothing under it. (Oh, and for those who want to know, the third is listed as "Unknown.")
Maybe a game? Another PSP game? An adult mahjong game?
Speculate amongst yourselves in the comment below.

This was done with the theme "home" in mind. It's based on a cheesy painting of a deer drinking from a stream I had in my room when I was a kid. Just before falling asleep I'd sometimes stare at it and imagine the water rippling or the deer raising its head and looking out at me. Its watercolor and gouache.

Speaking of finishes, I finally have another one to share! This is Hope Tea by Fiddlestitch Cottage -
Part of it has been done for months now but I was waiting on the wording. I wanted to personalize mine so I played around with it on Pattern Maker and I think I am pleased with the outcome. It may look a little strange and it might even look off center but trust me, it's not :o) I centered the wording as per the chart, not the teapot lid. I ended up frogging the year though because when I had centered that based on the chart it was off so I had to re-center it based on the "V" and the "I".
I have a bit of fun news to share :o) The writer that interviewed me for the Beyond breast cancer magazine contacted me again and wanted to interview me for Better Homes & Gardens! She is writing an article on the Do's and Don'ts, Breast Cancer Etiquette. So pick up a copy of the October 2007 issue when it comes out. I'll be holding autograph sessions this coming fall ;o)

Being associated to a public figure has its ups and downs. Being a brother to one has more. This entry is the answer to most of your questions that I am willing to share, to share no more.
I've been thrown a lot of related questions but that one line bowls me over and for almost a decade now, I still do not know what to answer to… "Bakit ikaw, hindi mag-artista?" (In english- why don't you also become an actor?)
While it is fun, has lots of perks, and sharing the attention isn't so bad. There are people who are just giddy about this fact and I dont't want to take this away from them but at the same time, some can't hold their excitement that my personal space has been invaded time and again.
If your brainwave is short, reading this might get you thinking I have low self-esteem or bitterness or just plain ranting. Please. I've gone through a lot to still experience that. For the life of me, I really do not like explaining it and neither do I want to discuss it for a million reasons but let me explain some…
1. It is an awkward disposition. If I did say I wanted to and didn't get to become one, does it make me less or more of a person? Believe me, I've tried. If you've known me since college, you'd know how much I've tried. Also, admitting that I'd like to be in showbiz may make me seem like I am worthy of it. Some don't think so…If I did deserve to be in showbiz, I probably would've been in it with the opportunities that I had. Which brings me to my next point…
2. I've been through different channels and I've had no support. Maybe because of some reasons I gave in #1. And again, believe me, I am not looking down on myself or have low confidence and shit. If things aren't for you, it just isnt. I've been on radio, TV commercials, even on TV shows, but none of it was enough to get noticed. You need the right connections and exposure to get there. Apparently, I don't.
3. The camera adds 10lbs. You know that sounds cliché and overused? No it's not. When you see these actors on TV, you'd think their body is just the right proportion. They are actually smaller, or fitter or slimmer in person. Same effect to the fat ones, they are probably exactly or more than how they appear. In print, you can be photoshopped. Unless your makeup artist is also a sorcerer, that's not gonna help you in front of the camera. Point is, I was chubby back then (probably even now) and my chemistry with the camera never took off.
4. It just doesnt work that way. You may have seen dynasties of showbiz family and how big actors can easily bring in their siblings or children into the glam world of showbiz. Not unless a prominent public figure completely surrender themselves and their privacy to the public, it is unlikely to happen. Not because your brother is an actor, you can have the same opportunity.
5. We (reader and I) might just not be that close for me to explain all this, and that is self-explanatory. You may settle for the reasons stated above. Should I have shared more, then it means I trust you with the details of my life and you are a good friend.
Do not get me wrong. I normally laugh about this and this "Million-Dollar Question" is something I get asked 2-3x average in a week and have been used to this. I'm not someone special to get this type of attention. I just feel like I have to make people understand that it's not such a big deal compared to how they percieve the situation. Again, I don't want to take it away from them but some just cross the line.
the reality of my everyday life: I commute on a daily basis, meaning I dont own a car. I rarely get to buy my own clothes. I get a P40 haircut and apply my own hair treatment. I don't have the capacity to buy luxury items. I don't get facials and neither do I have credits for an expensive fitness center. I have a good-paying job that pays the bills but is barely relevant to get noticed anywhere. I work on credits to feed my family and children. I am thankful for hand-me-down clothes and shoes from my brother. Other stuff I get to enjoy are sponsored or won sonewhere. I don't dine out in fancy restaurants unless I get invited to it nor do I spend to get drunk in expensive bars. My latest iPhone was bought by my mom as a birthday gift but paid for half of it in installments. I am a normal guy trying to get by every day just like the rest of us as opposed to contrary belief, associated to a family name. Regardless of how much anyone earns, they are not obligated to provide luxury to anyone else. It is up to their generosity and good heart that they even share what they have, and care enough to make the ones they care for comfortable and help them live in comfort.
May I add how totally rude I find this (again) usual dialogue:
Person: where's your car?
Me: I dont own one
Person: Really? Isn't your brother an actor? Why doesnt he buy you one?
Me: (at this point, I normally just shrug or try to walk out of the conversation or answer in all honesty) why should be obligated to buy me one?
Person: because you're his older brother
Me: all the more he should get me one. I could and should afford my own.
Person: (still doesnt get it up to this point)
I can't understand why this is hard to understand? Anyway, bottomline is the Million-Dollar questions has a simple answer, things are just meant to be. Any more or any less is what God has for you and either you be contented with it or you go get yours.
For those who have celebrity friends or friends to celebrity siblings or affiliation, you get this. For those who don't have any, please understand the person at the other end of your questions.
Whew…that quickly turned into a rant blog but I guess it's best to educate.
