Two weeks ago, on August 1st, my family went to the 36th annual Isuzu Fujisawa Festival at the Isuzu truck factory in Fujisawa. Since it was only 20 minutes away from us on foot, it was a pretty easy decision to go to it.
The festival featured a lot of food, taiko drums, singing, festival games, mikoshi (portable shrine), and fireworks. As you'll see later in the video below, we didn't stay for the fireworks, but we did see some. The video features mostly the taiko performance, which is nice to watch. The girl dancing to the taiko music is my daughter. It was her first time seeing anything like this, and she really loved it.
If you've watched the video already, you'll notice that we had a thunderstorm. It was actually quite intense with a lot of lightning. But I love a good thunderstorm.

No one wants a chaotic family life. I believe every person would want a happy, harmonious family and nobody would want a broken family. Of course, that is not to say that a family without a father or a mother is considered not a family, one may not be complete but still considered as a family as long as there is peace and harmony with in.
This is the reason why My, short for Mylene, contacted me. My is a 60-year – old mother of 4, all of them are adults now. According to My, they're all successful and financially stable, even all her 4 kids are financially independent from them, and while all of them still lives with her, she said she felt like they're all disconnected with each other. Her husband is always at his business and on weekends he usually plays golf with his friends. Her children, as mentioned still stays with them but they each have their own life. My said she tries her best to get the family reconnected with each other, however, despite of her efforts to come up with a regular Sunday dinners, they're seldom complete and even then they seems don't know what to talk about on the table, and there are times they end up fighting. This is what prompted her to get in touch with me and request for help.
I suggested that she gets the Avatamsaka Traditional Sutra Amulet, and after she got it, I didn't hear from her again. That was several months ago. But I just got this message from her yesterday.
Note: The time of posting is usually not the time of writing.
Note: The Avatamsaka Traditional Sutra Amulet is also called Traditional Avatamsaka Sutra Amulet.
As you can see, in My's own words she feels the significant improvement of her family relationship is due to the Avatamsaka Sutra or more importantly the Avatamsaka Traditional Sutra Amulet. But for me the surprise is the story about her daughter. During my talks with My she never mentioned about her daughter who happens to be a single mom. But she did asked me about her friend's daughter, which happens to be her daughter, I think at that time she was not comfortable discussing it.
There are two reasons why My should celebrate and I think she is indeed celebrating these miracles. She acknowledges that they still have to work on their relationship as a family, but she knows she did get some miracles.
Not only is her family starting to have a better relationship but also more than that she is also happy that her daughter might have found her true love. Her romantic relationship luck indeed became better, and while she is a family to her daughter, having a father might contribute a lot to her well being.

Setting up your home gym
Getting fit is on everyone's list.
But between work, children and having a social life, it's difficult to find the time to get to the gym.
Then there's the cost.
Many gym fees are high and they tend to lock you in. This means that if you get busy or go on holidays or are otherwise unable to get to your gym, you still have to pay.
The answer may be to invest in a home gym.
Personal trainer, Del Byron has set up a number of home gyms.
She has used them to train herself and her clients.
She said setting up a home gym doesn't have to be expensive, but you will need to dedicate some space in order to stay safe and motivated.
Perhaps you have a spare bedroom, or a corner in the garage – wherever you put your gym gear, Del advised giving your gym a proper space so you're more likely to use it and so there is enough room to safely exercise.
"To begin with, I'd invest in a bar and some weights – these don't have to be the most expensive version, just something good quality that you can use for weight training.
"I'd also try and find a heavy ball you can use as a medicine ball, a sturdy box you can jump on and a well fitting pair of joggers."
"From there, all you need is a bit of music and a workout plan and you're set."
There are a number of products on the market for home gyms.
You can order complete home gym sets from suppliers that include squat racks, pull up bars, ropes for climbing as well as all the accessories that come with it.
Many suppliers even offer soft fall flooring to keep your equipment (and floors) safe.
Just make sure your flooring can handle the weight of the equipment and the constant bouncing and jumping you will be doing.
The concrete floor of a garage is perfect.
The beauty of a home gym is that it's open 24 hours and after the initial cost of set-up, it's completely free.
Del advised making sure you have some space to warm up and cool down. "It's important to stretch before and after a workout so make sure you have space for this or you'll be more likely to skip it. Have a yoga mat or soft flooring somewhere so you don't hurt yourself while you stretch."
She also suggested that your home gym space is close to an outside space.
"When the weather is nice, you can alternate between inside and out – the variety will keep you motivated.
Although there is more equipment available at a gym, Del say's that in her 25 years experience, she's found it's not fancy equipment that gives you the best workout.
"Find a mate to workout with and you're more likely to stay motivated and reach your fitness goals."

People line up for a fundraiser for Mitt Romney hosted by former Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday, July 12, 2012 in Wilson, Wyo.
Updated 12:00 a.m. ET: WILSON, Wyo. -- Mitt Romney's campaign roped in more than $4 million in a single campaign stop here in Western Wyoming with a boost from one of the most controversial political figures of the last decade: former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Cheney, who has not previously appeared with Romney on the campaign trail, was effusive in his praise for the presumptive GOP nominee, calling him the only man he would want at the helm in the event of another crisis like the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"Sooner or later there is going to be a big surprise," Cheney said. "Usually a very unpleasant one. Whether it's 9-11 or the other kinds of difficulties or crises that arrive, they always do. That's when you find out what kind of leader your president is."
He continued: "When I think about the kind of individual I want in the Oval Office in that moment of crisis, who has to make those key decisions, some of them life and death decisions, some of them decisions as the commander-in-chief who has the responsibility of sending our young men and women into harm's way -- that man is Mitt Romney."
Romney returned Cheney's praise but did not mention Cheney's former boss, George W. Bush. However, Romney did praise the former president's "freedom agenda" at a private Q&A session afterward, which was overheard by reporters.
In his remarks, Romney also declined to engage in the ongoing battles over his tenure at Bain Capital, which claimed the political spotlight Thursday as Democrats highlighted reports that Romney remained in control of the company after he claimed to have left for the 2002 Olympics.
Romney did, however, pounce on comments made by President Obama today to CBS News.
Obama had said: "When I think about what we've done well and what we haven't done well, the mistake of my first term - couple of years - was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right. And that's important. But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times."
"What was his answer as to his biggest mistake? Not telling stories to the American people about his vision. That was his biggest mistake. Oh really? Really?" Romney said incredulously. "Look, look he's out of touch, he's out of excuses, he's out of ideas and we've got to make sure in November we put him out of office."
Attendees, many dressed in their Western finest -- dark cowboy boots with suits -- dined on prosciutto-wrapped shrimp, potstickers and crostini, and sipped wine and Amstel Lights as they meandered about beneath a large white tent set up on the driving range. More than 500 donors were expected to attend Thursday night's event, with at least 250 planning to attend the night's $30,000 finale: a private dinner here at Cheney's residence on the golf course.

JP Riccardi's admission is hardly the first lie in baseball circles. Some other famous fibs:
- Jeff Kent - Several years ago Jeff Kent started the season on the DL with an injured wrist. The Lie? He told everybody that he injured his wrist washing his car. The Truth? He hurt his wrist after he wiped out while doing a "wheelie" on his motorcycle.
- Tim Johnson - In his tenure as Jays manager, Johnson was tasked with motivating a team with a lot of youth and some ego-maniacal veterans (we're looking at you Jose Canseco). The Lie? Johnson motivated his men by telling them war stories from his tour of duty in Vietnam. The Truth? The closest that Tim Johnson came to being in combat was buying some shorts at Old Navy during a sidewalk sale.
- Pete Rose - After a sure thing hall of fame career, Rose helmed his Cinncinati Reds in the mid to late 80's. He soon came under fire as allegations arose that he was a heavy gambler. The Lie? Rose swore that he never bet on baseball. The Truth? Not only did he bet on baseball, he bet on his own team every single game.
- Junior Felix - The man who caught the final out in Dave Stieb's no-hitter was a sparkplug in his rookie year. There was a lot of optimism as the young outfielder looked to be a fixture in the Jays lineup for years to come. The Lie? That he was young. The Truth? Felix turned out to be several years older than advertised.
- David Wells - So many to choose from. Let's try this one. How about the one concerning the perfect game that he threw for the Yanks. The Lie? Wells wrote in his autobiography that he was "half-drunk" on the mound that day. The Truth? Perhaps he was forced into this, but he retracted his statement about being drunk.
- Roger Clemens - The Rocket, after weighing several options, signed with the Yankees for the remainder of the 2007 season. The Lie? Clemens said that signing with the Yanks had nothing to do with the money. The Truth? Clemens had 10 million more reasons to sign with the Bronx Bombers than with the Red Sox.

There were "the Shooter" and "the Point Man." Now a third member of SEAL Team 6 offers another account of the raid on Osama bin Laden that led to his death in 2011.
The report from CNN appears to contradict Esquire's widely circulated story, "The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden," by Phil Bronstein.The unnamed source from CNN calls the Esquire account "complete B-S."
The SEAL team member in the Esquire profile, who was described simply as the Shooter, claimed that he entered the compound and found bin Laden with a gun in reach and shot him.
"In that second, I shot him, two times in the forehead. Bap! Bap! The second time as he's going down. He crumpled onto the floor in front of his bed. He was dead. I watched him take his last breaths," the Shooter told Esquire.
That account conflicts with the first-person narrative from the bestselling book "No Easy Day," written by Matt Bissonette under the alias Mark Owen.
According to a third account from the anonymous Navy SEAL Team 6 member who talked to CNN, the Point Man rushed up the stairs and shot bin Laden in the head, gravely wounding him.
CNN adds, "Having taken down bin Laden, the point man proceeded to rush two women he found in bin Laden's bedroom, gathering them in his arms to absorb the explosion in case they were wearing suicide vests, something that was a real concern of those who planned the raid."
Two more SEALs then found bin Laden wounded on the floor, and shot him in the chest. CNN's source said there was no way the Shooter could have seen a gun in reach of bin Laden — since a gun was only discovered in the the suspected terrorist leader's room after a thorough search.
This account appears to square with the one in "No Easy Day," which asserts the Point Man took the first shots. Bissonette writes in his book that he was one of the members to shoot bin Laden as he lay on the floor.
Bronstein, when contacted by CNN, said he had passed along the questions around the raid to his source but had not heard back.
But according to CNN's Peter Bergen, there's no "I" in this SEAL team: He writes that in the briefing to President Obama post-raid, the members explained, "If you took one person out of the puzzle, we wouldn't have the competence to do the job we did; everybody's vital. It's not about the guy who pulled the trigger to kill bin Laden, it's about what we all did together."

HIT Tip 2: Check the Intensity of Your Exercise.
Intense exercise is an absolute requirement for muscular growth, yet many bodybuilders with their multiple-set routines seem to go to great lengths to avoid exercise intensity. The intensity of their workouts is seldom high enough to stimulate much in the way of muscle growth, but the amount of training is so high that they remain in a constantly rundown condition.
HIT and a large amount of training are mutually exclusive factors. You can have one or the other, but not both at the same time.
What exactly is HIT?
HIT is going all-out, not almost all-out. It is taking each set to your absolute limit, not almost to the limit.
HIT is a commitment to work as hard as possible while in the gym or weight room, without socializing, resting excessively between exercises, or falling prey to the latest champion?s routine.
HIT is serious business because it deals with the ultimate in muscular effort. Maximum intensity occurs when a muscle is pulling as hard as it possible can. This should happen during a range of repetitions between 8 and 12, assuming that the resistance has been accurately selected. By this time the involved muscles should be barely able to lift the resistance. When they are unable to do so, we say that they have reached momentary failure ? and that is what we are aiming for.
Performing an exercise to the point that you cannot lift the resistance one more time ? the point of momentary muscular failure ? is high intensity. When you feel you can?t do another repetition, try one more. Try until upward movement is simply impossible.
This maximum effort sends your body a signal that says, in effect, grow larger and stronger before this happens again. Intense exercise stimulates a compensatory buildup in the form of added muscle tissue, which aids the body in coping more successfully with similar stress in the future.
One of the basic rules of HIT is as follows: Look for ways to make your exercise harder, not easier, and your results will be vastly improved. Of course, hard exercise is much less fun than easy exercise, but that?s a necessary part of reshaping your body in the most efficient manner. You must learn to simply learn to tolerate the discomfort.
Do not make the mistake of confusing intensity with the amount of exercise. Long, endurance-type exercise cannot be in high in intensity. Maximum-intensity exercise, because it is so tiring, must be brief.
When an exercise is performed in a high-intensity manner, one set ? and one set only ? usually gives your body optimum stimulation. Multiple sets of the same exercise are not desirable.
So, examine closely the intensity of all your exercise. If it is not at the maximum level, up the intensity. Decide today that you want the best-possible results from your training. Make up your mind now to train harder, but briefer.

Prescott Auto Glass – What Should I know?
Simply put, this is glass that you would find in an automobile. Not too many know that in Prescott there are two major forms of auto glass. Each one is used on certain windows in the automobile. Both types of auto glass are more impact resistant and stronger than regular glass.
What Are the Different Kinds Of Windshield Replacement Prescott Services that are Available?
Laminated safety glass-this glass is generally used on a car's windshield. It is comprised of a couple of pieces of glass that has a slim layer of vinyl. The glass is then heated and pressed together in an autoclave, which is a type of oven. When this glass receives a tough impact it will shatter also but usually the shattered pieces will stick to the vinyl and not fall on the ground.
If the windshield just has a tiny vein or nick, the auto glass professional may be able to repair the tiny vein or nick to keep it from spreading further. The repair will generally take fewer than thirty minutes in Prescott. The vein or nick is cleaned thoroughly and dried. Resin is injected and a material like Mylar is used to hold it in place. The professional cures the resin by using an ultraviolet light.
Should You be Fixing Windshield Cracks?
One of the most intimidating things for a car owner to do is to deal with auto glass or windshield replacement. This is something extremely different from the movies, where people who drive without windows and windshields to be funny and significantly entertaining. In the real world, having a broken windshield will most likely be the reason for car related accidents, which take the lives of many people every day. These accidents have become a global concern, which is why the automobile industry has focused on safety innovation over the years. What most people do not realize, however, is that windshields are safety and precautionary measures by themselves.
They are designed to compress air inside a car in order for the vehicle's restraining systems to be effective. For example, an airbag system needs a strong and properly bonded windshield to work efficiently. If the windshield pops out because of unstable air deployment, the airbag will not be able to provide the protection needed to keep the driver alive in cases of accidents. These shields also account for 20% of a car's overall strength. Perhaps this is the reason why many governments around the world require car manufacturers to have all their models certified and meet a high threshold of strength and durability.
Selecting the best adhesive is the next step. Make sure that the ones bought are being used by manufacturers themselves in order to be assured of its quality. After these things, the new shield can now be installed. It is advised for everyone to be familiar with the procedures that the Auto Glass Replacement Safety standards Council have set, in order to ensure maximum safety. These include allowing the adhesive to set before the car can be driven again. See, cars are important parts of people's lives, and for it to be successful, a windshield replacement process requires patience and must be treated like how a sick family member is to be attended to.
What Should You Look For in a Windshield Service Specialist?
But I Thought You Said This Windshield Was Original Equipment?
Here is a common story for a consumer. A person has a brand new or leased vehicle and a piece of glass becomes damaged. They call an auto glass company and the consumer is told OEE is an original equipment equivalent replacement piece for their vehicle. But when the auto glass technician shows up to complete the replacement, the piece of glass does not actually have the vehicle makers OEM manufacturer logo.
OEE - Parts produced for installation in the "aftermarket" by third party companies.
What Is OEM Auto Glass? (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
When a new vehicle is designed the vehicle maker can use an existing windshield part from an older model vehicle, or they can create a whole new windshield and part number. If the decision is made to create a whole new windshield the vehicle maker contracts a glass manufacturer to create the part. The glass manufacturer and vehicle maker create a unique mold and a unique molding/firing process to produce the OEM windshield (Original Equipment Manufacturer). The parts are installed when the vehicle is assembled at the vehicle makers factory.
6. Rear View Mirror Brackets And Sensors - Aftermarket windshields (OEE) use a different process to adhere the mirror brackets to the glass. I find that their quality of adhesion and location is not as accurate as OEM parts. In fact, aftermarket distributors repeatedly drip glue on the glass below the bracket which may stain the black ceramic band on the interior side of the glass. When it comes to sensor components such as a rain sensors, the problem it not as rampant. But on a BMW windshield, a mirror bracket not correctly aligned may hinder the re-installation of the mirror's plastic cover assembly which hides the sensor and bracket.
So Which Windshield Should I Choose, OEM or OEE?
The biggest impact on your decision will be budget. OEM parts are almost always higher priced. Most consumers simply choose OEE because they have no choice, everyone needs to save a few bucks. Don't be scared of choosing aftermarket glass though because safety is mostly impacted by the technician installing the windshield correctly, not the glass itself. But if you really love your vehicle and expect the best quality, you should choose OEM. And if you are leasing your vehicle, your dealer may have restrictions on what type of glass is acceptable upon returning the vehicle. You may get a fee added if you have an aftermarket glass installed. Call your dealer for more information.

One Piece Episode 174 English Subbed
Episode Lists: One Piece
Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Super Power, Drama, Fantasy, Shounen
Storyline Synopsis
Gol D. Roger was known as the \"Pirate King,\" the strongest and most infamous being to have sailed the Grand Line. The capture and execution of Roger by the World Government brought a change throughout the world. His last words before his death revealed the existence of the greatest treasure in the world, One Piece. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding One Piece—which promises an unlimited amount of riches and fame—and quite possibly the pinnacle of glory and the title of the Pirate King. Enter Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy who defies your standard definition of a pirate. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate ransacking villages for fun, Luffy's reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder: the thought of an exciting adventure that leads him to intriguing people and ultimately, the promised treasure. Following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Luffy and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, unveiling dark mysteries and battling strong enemies, all in order to reach the most coveted of all fortunes—One Piece.

While not exactly a GTA-clone, Gangstar is similarly stationed – a violent game involving crime, money, and lots of blood. The above video is courtesy of a TouchArcade preview the iPhone 'port' of the game. I use quotation marks because, as you will see, this ain't exactly 2006's Gangstar.
Unlike its direct competitors at the App Store: Payback and Car Jack Streets, Gangstar is a fully 360 degree free-camera 3D game which makes great use of the iDevices 3D processor.

By Dr. Paul Kengor On November 12, 2012
The battle to end legal abortion in America is over. The election and reelection of Barack Obama has made Roe v. Wade a permanent part of American life, with tens to hundreds of millions of unborn babies the coming casualties. Barack Obama got two Supreme Court picks in his first term and will get more in his second.
But it's worse than that. All of us will now be handmaidens in this destruction. In the not-so-distant past, abortion advocates didn't demand that all of us forcibly pay for their abortions—and for Planned Parenthood, contraception, and embryo destruction. They weren't demanding that taxpayer-funded contraception become a new "entitlement." That, too, has changed under Barack Obama, and we will not be able to conscientiously object as faithful Catholics.
This is a devastating defeat. The heights of abortion absurdity will be thrust to once unimaginable depths.
On November 6, 2012, we witnessed the sunset for the Culture of Life in America.
And who's to blame? The answer is Roman Catholics, or, I should say, self-identified Catholics. They make up a quarter of the electorate, and they went for Barack Obama big-time in 2008 and by 50-48 percent in 2012, mirroring and molding the popular vote.
To be sure, the numbers for 2012 are deceiving. The self-identified Catholics who voted for Obama include millions who rarely go to Mass. To the contrary, Catholics who attend Mass weekly voted for the pro-life Mitt Romney by a strong margin, 57-42 percent. White Catholics supported Romney by 59-40 percent. Sadly, they weren't enough.
There were two groups of Catholics who elected Obama: apathetic Catholics and Hispanic Catholics. Hispanics went for Obama by an amazing 71-27 percent margin, and they were 10 percent of the electorate.
But that doesn't let Catholics en masse off the hook. There were literally millions of Catholics who attend Mass weekly and voted for Barack Obama. In so doing, they also voted—whether they realize it or not—for the sunset of the Culture of Life in America.

Cost-of-Living Adjustment
An increase to a wage, salary, or pension designed so that the real value remains the same. That is, a cost-of-living adjustment increases the underlying wage, salary, or pension so that it keeps pace with (but does not run ahead of) inflation. Federal pensions and Social Security include cost-of-living adjustments, though few other pensions do.
Cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).
A COLA results in a wage or benefit increase that is designed to help you keep pace with increased living costs that result from inflation.
COLAs are usually pegged to increases in the consumer price index (CPI). Federal government pensions, some state pensions, and Social Security are usually adjusted annually, but only a few private pensions provide COLAs.

I don't have a cell phone. This isn't some high-minded tech-cist philosphical choice, though. I've just not needed a cell, save for the year 2004 when my husband was in Iraq, and I wanted the minor additional "there-ness" a cell afforded me. Now, however, I'm getting busier and busier, getting closer to a point where one makes sense . . . and I'm the kind of girl who'd rather not have a toy unless she gets just the one she wants. So! I'm saving up for a LG EnV3 in maroon, because, Heaven help me, I think that little clamshell beauty is awesome.
What else do I love? Yep, Bill Nye, the Science Guy.
Things to Remember:
- Just because someone tells you "no" does not mean they no longer like/love you.
- God knows what He's doing. Shut up and wait for Him to clue you in.
- 5 out of 20 or so is actually a nice amount, around one-fourth.
- The Red Hot Chili Peppers where not thinking of the debut author submission process when they wrote that song, but you don't mind.
Last night I got some pretty encouraging news. Today I got some slightly discouraging news. Considering writing is a labor of love (after all, Walter Wellesley said, "There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein."), the RHCP song title fits. In the last 24 hours I've been both up and down.
Usually, I hate heights, but I was getting kind of attached to last night's. I had multiple 'industry people' saying, "Hey, I like the idea of that," and that, my friends and foes, felt really good. It was like someone whispering in my ear, "This could really happen! You've got an heir and a spare!" I had options. I had a little cushiony space, in case of emergencies. And I like those cushions! One was hilarious and light, and would've made for a really good pillow fight, I bet. The other seemed to be more job-oriented, there to get that cushioning done, or else, and that was good too. That one was the kind of pillow who was going to dive-bomb the floor, getting there before me if I fell off the couch (trust me, I can fall off a couch without assistance).
I lost my squishy cushion today. My possible pillow-fight buddy decided she wasn't quite right for my sofa. I am bummed. I don't hold it against her--not at all. I know how this works. She didn't decline my couch because she suddenly didn't think I was a cool enough girl. It was the couch she wasn't quite sure about. I guess the point is, knowing and feeling that are two totally different things.
My up is a down, even if I have that other cushion. I don't know anything personal about, though. I know my lost cushion was funny (she had the best joke embroidered in one corner). I know she was upbeat. I know I would have really, really enjoyed sharing the couch with her. That's why I'm bummed. This new cushion isn't a sure bet by any means, but I have no idea if I'll connect on a personal level with it, which is something I want to consider, in the event it wants its own little dent in the seat of my sofa.
I need some corners, maybe some applique.

The Memorial Day weekend is the traditional kick-off to the summer travel season, and pain at the gas pump is not keeping people from hitting the road.
According the Automobile Club of Southern California, more than 2 million people will travel more than 50 miles from home by car in the Southland this weekend.
That is about the same as this time last year.
Local news from across Southern California
But the struggling economy is not expected to put a crimp in air travel plans. Officials at Los Angles International Airport said Friday they anticipate an increase in travel demand this Memorial Day and throughout the summer, leading to busy terminals and mostly full flights.
Airport officials estimate that between Friday and Monday, nearly 811,000 travelers will pass through LAX. That's an increase of more than 5 percent over the same period last year.
Experts said people who delayed travel plans last year due to the economy are now feeling more confident.
The top five travel destinations for the Memorial Day weekend according to the Auto Club are: Las Vegas, San Diego, San Francisco, the California Central Coast and Disneyland.

Watching You Watch the Rain
Watching you watch the rain:
Your lined and sagging home
of eyes that take in all
Tranquil before the gentle
Sometimes angry pattering.
I hid so you could not see
me watching you watch the rain.
The scene always held one holiness:
Your solitude among the million chattering drops.
I wanted to think what you thought,
Feel the peace I saw in you --
Watching you watch the rain
Is a thousand images
of one picture in my head
As I sit, elbows on knees,
My child nearby watching me
Watching you watch the rain.
I have often wished I had the artistic ability to paint as this image is so clear in my mind. It's been nearly six years and I still miss him. I am grateful I had his love and guidance for 35 years of my life.
Jack E. Loar August 3, 1929 - October 2, 2004

Last Thursday, we took Ethan back to the orthopedist. Because he seemed to be in no pain and was moving around really (really really) well, we were almost certain the doc was going to say, "We're taking this cast off for good today!"
Unfortunately, we were wrong. Instead, after the removal of his first cast and new x-rays, we heard:
"The break was more significant than I thought. He is healing really well, but we still have a ways to go. We'll put another cast on today, and then I'll have him come back to check the progress in four more weeks."
Not what this Mommy was hoping to hear!
Ethan has been doing wonderfully. His second cast, however, has worn down quickly (leaving plaster bits behind all over my house for me to freak out about Lola choking on). The padding never seemed quite right to me--overly thin--and when I noticed bruising at the top of his thigh where the cast meets his skin and a blister by his toes, I called the doctor.
While doing a couple of errands over in Champaign (after all, we had driven quite a distance to get over there--who says we can't turn a bum trip into a useful one) I quickly discovered that were quite the sight. The double stroller had been accidentally left in the garage, so I had no choice but to load both Ethan and Lola into the front of the single, all pink stroller--with Ethan's broken leg sticking straight out. Neither one could fit in the buckles, so I kept having to stop every ten feet (when Ethan would say "Lola's trying to slide out, Mommy! Lola's trying to slide out!") to sit Lola up and readjust Ethan's arms around her belly, giving the same admonishment each time: "Now, hold on tight Ethan. Hold her tight!"
Note to readers: no matter how well you instruct him, a three-year-old's arms do not, I repeat, do not work nearly as well as the factory installed buckles in a single stroller.
We were getting lots and lots of double takes and "Awwww!" 's. This was all while trying to maneuver--speedily, 'cause Lola was losing her shopping *graciousness*--around the crowded aisles and not slam Ethan's leg into any of the racks or shelving or purses or dishes or glassware or frames or shoes.
It wasn't as much fun as it looks, people. Trust me.
After lunch, we headed back home. Ethan celebrated his new cast by playing some football in the yard with his brothers--yes, I am serious. He moves around so well with a cast on. It's crazy!
We love you E Ry! You are doing so great. Hang in there--these four weeks will (hopefully) fly by!

TV Duck Dynasty
This undated image released by A&E shows Phil Robertson from the popular series "Duck Dynasty." Robertson was suspended last week for disparaging comments he made to GQ magazine about gay people. (AP Photo/A&E,)
By Michael Hiltzik
I got the gist of the "Duck Dynasty" thing after my first and only viewing: bunch of rural jackasses who somehow struck it rich get brought into our living rooms to be laughed at by the rest of us aristocrats.
Well, all right. When the archetype first appeared on television via the "Beverly Hillbillies" it was also enormously popular, but also taken as an illustration of how TV was living down to its condemnation by FCC Chairman Newton Minow as a "vast wasteland."
In any event, A&E knew what it was doing when it put these people on the air, so its show of indignation in "suspending" one of them for speaking out against gays and the aspirations of African-Americans falls a little flat.
What's truly ghastly, however, is the reaction of a couple of political figures. Sarah Palin's opinion isn't worth the 11 words I've just written to dismiss it. But Bobby Jindal still holds down office as the governor of Louisiana. That raises the question: Has it become acceptable again for an American politician to embrace unashamed bigotry?
In the old days, news that public funds (via the Louisiana state film and television incentive program) had helped finance racism and gay-bashing of the variety espoused by Phil Robertson, the outspoken duck dynast, would have presented a moral dilemma and created a political embarrassment for a governor.
Most self-respecting political leaders would have run away from association with such views; that's the essence, after all, of the "leadership" part of the equation.
Not for Jindal. His only public statement on the matter thus far has praised Robertson as a member of a family of "great citizens of the State of Louisiana." He defends Robertson's views on the "it's a free country" principle, which as a debating point generally gets dropped by most people before the fourth grade. "Everyone is entitled to express their views," he says.
In Jindal's seven-sentence statement, not a word of defense for gay people so crudely mocked by Robertson. Not a word to remind us that the life of black sharecroppers in Louisiana's Jim Crow era was not "godly" or "happy."
In January of this year, Jindal lectured his fellow Republicans on the need to "stop being the stupid party."
He talked about how the Republican brand had been damaged by its candidates' "offensive and bizarre comments." That was supposed to represent the launch of a new GOP outreach to communities that had been excluded by Republican doctrine, including the gay and minority communities.
But that was 11 months ago. Now, according to Jindal, Republicans are supposed to embrace offensive and bizarre comments.
The party's transformation into a marginal and regional movement thus continues. Jindal has made himself the biggest jackass in the story, and his career as a national political figure the thing to be laughed at.

Over at Stack Overflow, a member asked a couple questions regarding working with WIN32OLE objects.
Q1: How do I determine the class name of an OLE object instance?
The code:
The explanation:
Calling the ole_obj_help method on a WIN32OLE object returns a WIN32OLE_TYPE object. The WIN32OLE_TYPE object includes a name attribute. Calling this on an Excel application object...
xl = WIN32OLE.new( 'Excel.Application' )
...returns the string '_Application', while calling it on a Worksheet object...
...returns the string '_Worksheet'.
Q2: How can I tell whether an object instance supports a particular method?
The code:
object.ole_methods.collect!{ |x| x.to_s }.include?( 'MethodName' )
The explanation:
As mentioned previously here, calling the ole_methods method on a WIN32OLE object returns an array of WIN32OLE objects that represent methods that can be called on that object. You can convert each object in the array to a string, using the collect! method. Then it's a simple matter to call the include? method to see if the resulting array of strings contains a certain value.
And so we can use this to find that the Excel application object includes a Quit method...
xl.ole_methods.collect!{ |x| x.to_s }.include?( 'Quit' )
=> true
...but does not include a Close method:
xl.ole_methods.collect!{ |x| x.to_s }.include?( 'Close' )
=> false
There you have it. Thanks for stopping by!

SUNY Canton Students "Roo-cycle" for America Recycles DayTuesday, November 9th, 2010
Volunteers will collect recyclables from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the residence halls.
Students will be rewarded for recycling at SUNY Canton.
For the second year, the College's Office of Residence Life and the Green Campus Committee (GCC) are holding a "Roo-cycle Contest," beginning at 4 p.m. Nov. 15 with recycling collection points outside each of the College's four residence halls. The College orchestrated the two-day event to coincide with America Recycles Day.
The challenge encourages students to collect and donate redeemable bottles and cans, lightly worn clothing, electronics, books, and all other recyclable items. The students who collect the most recyclables will win a pizza party for their entire residence hall.
"We hold the Roo-cycle Contest as a fun way to promote life-long sustainability and recycling practices," said Graphic and Multimedia Design Assistant Professor Matthew J. Burnett, who serves as Green Campus Committee (GCC) chair. "We are holding the competition in conjunction with the nationally-recognized America Recycles Day to help increase overall awareness about our efforts to be a greener College."
Last semester's competition collected about 2,900 redeemable recyclables, raising a total of $145 for the student-run Habitat for Humanity club. It also gathered about 580 clothing donations and more than 40 books.
The clothing collected this year will be donated to the Church and Community Program Center Thrift Shop in Canton and the books will be redistributed locally and international by the upstate New York-based company Textbook Recycle.
"Students were eager to participate when they realized their efforts were going toward a worthy cause," said Christa Kelson, an assistant professor of accounting and GCC board member. "One student disassembled a sculpture made entirely of soda cans and donated them for the competition."
America Recycles Day began in 1997. In 2009, the dedicated day featured 750 registered organizations conducting 2,375 events that involved 7,700 participating groups. The motto for the 2010 celebration is "I Recycle."
The GCC works with the College's Sustainability Taskforce to continue the culture of sustainability at SUNY Canton. SUNY Canton also participates in RecycleMania, an international competition for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities on their campus communities.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Coordinator, or call 315/386-7528.

1. To physically press one thing against another. Hold that ice pack against your foot—it should help with the swelling.
2. To remain angry at or unhappy with someone for a past action or misdeed. It was an honest mistake—how long do you plan to hold it against me?
hold something against someone or something

"Island Doll" is one of only a few surviving Lockheed PV-2 Harpoons. There were less than 600 of these produced and Island Doll is one of only three flying. The members of A.M.H.F continually work on this plane to keep it flying as a living piece of history. We enjoy showing her off at the various air shows we attend as well as to organizations and school children that come by. All donations go directly to the support of the airplane. Island Doll is on the National Register of Historic Places and was awarded best restoration for 2010 by Indiana Historical Preservation Society. If you would like to become a member of the A.M.H.F or make a donation, all would be greatly appreciated.
The purpose of the American Military Heritage Foundation is:
"To safely operate and professionally maintain this last flying example of a Navy/Marine Corps PV-2 medium attack bomber, and to understand the historical significance of our mission. Also, to have fun while enjoying the camaraderie of our members while attending to the necessary fiscal and safety responsibilities inherent to such an endeavor".
As a non-profit organization, AMHF receives no tax monies and is supported solely by air show appearances, membership dues, fund raisers, and benefactor donations. Additionally, we are always looking for aircraft components, technical data and manuals, individual histories and photographs to assist our restoration efforts and expand our museum. All donations to the AMHF are tax-deductible contributions due to our 501(c)3 non-profit status.

FDA decisions on new tobacco products0
WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 25, 2013) — For the first time since the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 gave the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the authority to regulate tobacco products, the agency has authorized the marketing of two new tobacco products and denied the marketing of four others through the substantial equivalence (SE) pathway.
Under the law, one way manufacturers can legally sell a new tobacco product is to establish that their product is substantially equivalent to a valid predicate product already on the market. The FDA works to ensure that any new tobacco product authorized through the substantial equivalence pathway will not present more harm to public health than the product with which it was compared.
"Today's historic announcement marks an important step toward the FDA's goal of reducing preventable disease and death caused by tobacco," said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D. "The FDA has unprecedented responsibility to protect public health by not allowing new tobacco products under FDA's authority to come to market without FDA review."
Once a company receives an SE Marketing Order for a product, it means only that the FDA has found that the new tobacco product is substantially equivalent to a predicate product and in compliance with the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). An SE Marketing Order is not a finding that the product it is safe or safer than its predicate product, or less harmful in general. In addition the law makes clear that companies cannot say their products are FDA approved.
"Today's decisions are just the first of many forthcoming product review actions to be issued," said Mitch Zeller, J.D., director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. "The FDA is committed to making science-based decisions on all product applications and providing the agency's scientific rationale behind its actions to ensure the most transparent and efficient process possible for all involved parties, according to the law."
The agency issued SE Marketing Orders for two Lorillard Tobacco Company cigarette products, Newport Non-Menthol Gold Box 100s and Newport Non-Menthol Gold Box. The FDA concluded that, while the new products have different characteristics than the predicate products, the new products do not raise different questions of public health.
Any product that raises different questions of public health will be found not substantially equivalent (NSE) and will not be allowed to be marketed. A variety of factors contributed to the four NSE decisions announced today, including a lack of evidence to support that the addition of specific ingredients did not raise different questions of public health, a lack of information about the design of the product, and incomplete test data.
Additionally, the FDA has formally withdrawn 136 SE Reports at the request of the applicants. At any point during the FDA review process, a manufacturer may choose to withdraw their submission if they are not able to meet the FDA's standards, or for other business reasons.
The FDA also refused to accept 20 SE Exemption Requests because the manufacturers did not meet the requirements for such an exemption. The SE Exemption pathway may be available for certain minor modifications to tobacco products where the only change is to an additive. Each of the SE Exemption Requests that the FDA refused to accept did not conform to requirements in the FD&C Act or to the SE Exemption regulation. For example, the agency determined that some exemption requests were not limited to changes in additives.


text: As the movie began, three or four images in, the person behind me whispered to his friend, "I hate it already". I threw the most annoyed glance behind me that I've thrown to anyone I can remember. Certainly Sean Penn comes off a bit self-important at times, but he 's smart enough to know when to step back and stay behind the camera. And that self-important seriousness is perfectly fitting in this film, a film about a young wanderer who when fed up with society treks to Alaska to live off the wild.

@topbarslo do you know where can I ges some templates for NVU? :?
topbarslo, you do know that KompoZer is the improved version of NVU? Although it hasn't seen much development lately! I know Daniel Glazman isn't working on NVU anymore, and it currently developing Composer on the Mozilla platform (ever, every so slowly).Anyways, I'd suggest taking a look at KompoZer if you're interested in an NVU type program.

Two young Amish girls found safe a day after they were apparently abducted from a northern New York farm gave investigators information a prosecutor said Friday she hopes will soon lead to an arrest.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain said she can't comment on what happened to 7-year-old Delila Miller and 12-year-old Fannie Miller, who vanished Wednesday evening after a car pulled up to their family's farm stand in Oswegatchie, a rural town on the Canadian border.
"They have provided us with information we're now acting on," Rain said, while declining to release details she said might compromise any future prosecution.
"I really can't discuss what happened when they were in captivity," she said, while confirming the girls are healthy.
Authorities met Friday morning to go over the leads and set the course of the investigation.
"We're hopeful there will be an arrest sooner rather than later," Rain said.
The episode has left a sense of vulnerability in the peaceful rural community, where residents said even small children would walk unaccompanied to school, Rain said.
"One thing that comes from this is that people learn this can happen in a small town," she said. "I think the public will take precautions, and that's the sad thing."
The girls turned up Thursday evening at a house in Richville, about 15 miles from where they disappeared, and asked for help getting home.
Word of the girls' return came shortly after about 200 people attended a candlelight prayer vigil at Cornerstone Wesleyan Church in nearby Heuvelton. They sang "Amazing Grace" and "This Little Light of Mine," read psalms and called children to the altar for a round of prayers.
Dot Simmons, a member of the congregation and neighbor of the Miller family, said despair turned to joy when she returned home from the vigil to word that the girls were safe.
She and her husband got a call saying that police scanner traffic was reporting the unexpected outcome and they drove next door to find an ambulance and one of the Millers' older sons sharing the good news.
Authorities initially said the sisters vanished at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday after a light-colored car pulled up to the farm stand and they went down to tend to the customers while the rest of their family stayed at a barn for the evening milking. By Thursday night, however, they were looking for a red car.
Searchers had scoured Oswegatchie, a farming community of about 4,000 people about 150 miles north of Albany, in a hunt hampered by a lack of photos of the girls for authorities to circulate. The Amish typically avoid modern technology, and the family had to work with an artist who spoke their language, a German dialect known as Pennsylvania Dutch, to produce a sketch of the older girl.
The girls are among the youngest of Mose and Barb Miller's 13 children, who range in age from 1 to 21 years, said Simmons, the neighbor. The girls routinely took on the chore of selling the fruits, vegetables, jams and other products of the farm, Simmons said.
"It's absolutely amazing," she said of their return.
St. Lawrence County is home to New York's second-largest Amish population, which has grown in the past decade because of productive land and property prices lower than in Pennsylvania.

Would you like your car this year email
Would you like your car this year email
I just got that email myself, and I'm #7294 85kw. Of course chose ASAP!
P2956 (or thereabouts) here with the same email. My only consideration is to ensure that I get my electrician in before delivery, which I would never have believed would be in 2012 based on reservation numbers currently being delivered. December delivery would certainly be a welcome surprise!
Just got that email! The answer is yes!! P2348
The reason some prefer 2013, is so the car will be that year model. Better resale?
Do you think Tesla is trying to pump out as many deliveries to meet a high/good number of deliveries? I would think that is what they are really trying to do, For us investors
I'm sure the tax credit could be effecting some folks if they've already taken large losses, between jobs, etc. it might make sense to shift the credit to next year's taxes where there's still room to give.
Beyond that, quality control can only go up as things start running more smoothly.
I'm slightly skeptical, even if they're up to 200 cars a day (I thought it was 100 last I checked?,) how they could make it up to car 7000+ in 3 weeks, even accounting for cancellations, deferrals, etc.
Here's to hoping!
I would love to have the car sooner, will wait for the 2013 Red. I also expect quality improvements as the production line and supply chain mature.
@pete2212 = There's a lot of discussion on this in the Delivery thread, but the gist is that the e-mails seem to have only gone out to 85kwh configured cars with active air suspension.
There may simply be a lot of 60 and 40 kwh orders below this, or even simply non active air.
I think it could be that they want to have profitability by the end of the year to report, and maybe the way to do it is to make the most expensive versions of the car and shift the rest until the next year?
im in active air, 85KW, P6484.
hope they can deliver before i leave for panama!
this is awesome! great Christmas gift!
I am p172 and I just got my delivery date and VIN yesterday. 12/13 - 12/27. I think I am the lowest reservation to be this late.
#6629. Performance I said yes, but am trying not to get my hopes up too high! From expecting the car in March to talk of December is certainly surprising.
Of course I said Yes--Hope they can do it. Maybe now I can stop checking my email every 30 minutes...not
#5499 here (brown/tan/21"/performance), and I also received the "Would you prefer Model S delivery ASAP or in 2013?" e-mail. I'm opting for 2013 to avoid the rush. I also suspect December delivery means you take delivery at the factory. I've been looking forward to home delivery for so long that I'm sticking to it! (Besides it'll drive my neighbors nuts!).
I interpret this as their way of saying "we need to optimize cash flow by skipping reservation holders waiting for us to get parts specific to their options/choices only to have them say 'hold off a bit'". Not 100% sure if I'm remembering my conversation correctly but I think res holders can wait as long as a week before delivery to defer/delay deliver. Tesla has to hold inventory(and liability) on their books for each owner who decides to wait until 2013. Inventory costs money, costs kill earnings, bad earnings lead to angry investors, angry investors lead to suffering.
I too got the email. YES! #2286.
I think there are many of us 60kw owners (p3534) that are having to wait until Jan. Some of the later sequence numbers weren't ready with financing and home charging set ups. This is incredibly frustrating for us!
Oops. 2386.
I hate it, but I had to say no, as we have already caught up on our tax payments and would not get any Federal credit in 2012. Had TM asked a month ago, I'd said yes. I was scheduled for Jan/Feb, but with all the deferrals I now fear that will get pushed back further.
they passed 200 long ago (November shareholder call); supposedly at 400 now, but utilizing at least part of a 2nd shift to do it. Each shift will get to 400 'with practice'.
I don't think this is anything sinister to maximize 2012 profits, and the email said nothing about factory pickups only. I think it's more about intelligent production scheduling. There must be enough cancellations, deferrals and folks who want options that won't be available to 2013 that they needed to ask us so they can keep the line at optimum tempo. Possibly GB will have more to add.
#4786 said yes!!!! It is hard to believe the day is getting close. If we are between Christmas and New Year's maybe we will drive up from Orange County for factory delivery.
#6588 (Performance, 21" wheels)
I got the email today and called Tesla. The rep told me they're trying to focus on cars with 85kWh + active air. Saying yes doesn't guarantee a December delivery but it will probably move you up in the queue. (I'm currently scheduled for a February delivery.)
As much as I want to say yes, I'm currently on the fence because I'm going to need snow tires. The nearest service center is either NYC (123 miles) or Washington, DC (125 miles). Unfortunately the Philadelphia service center isn't supposed to open until March. I'm going to try to work with the Delivery Specialist to see if I can get them installed before delivery, but it would depend on whether or not deliveries to my part of PA stop at service center for the pre-delivery check or not. I'd also (ideally) like to get my annual service synced up to the time I'd need to either install or remove my winter tires to save me a trip.
They did say I could get the tires delivered to me and installed on my own, but Tesla service reps still need to program the TPMS.
P5514. I got this message too. But going away last week of December unfortunately. Waited this long so another month is not that bad......NOT
White, air suspension, 85 kw, tan interior
P5267. Requested 2012. Black performance, grey rims, carbon fiber.
I think there are some tax considerations too. 2013 cars may not be eligible for tax rebates for certain incomes (ie > 250K, etc). Others may have already done their year tax planning (ie zero tax owed and no carry over).
Also, if taxes going up for everyone (likely they will), $7500 tax credit can be slightly more efficient in 2013 vs. 2012 (depending on your circumstances).
P2698 - said 2013 because I'm going to be away for most of December. :-(
I live in South Jersey and I had my car delivered with 19" rims with the winter tires. I ordered this set of rims and tires from my delivery specialist. In my case, the car went first to the Queens, NY service center and was prepped. The service representative told me that when I wanted to change to the 21" tires, they would come to me and make the change. I have my 21" rims and tires stored in my garage waiting for warmer weather and looking forward to driving "down the shore" in my Model S. Even if your car does not stop at a service center before being delivered, I would think they could come to you and switch the tires. Good luck with your car when you get it. It' s fantastic.
I said yes. Federal Tax Credit, CA 2500 rebate, and a host of other issues made it very attractive.
#8632 and got the email! Said 2013
Air suspension and 85kw
@rwang - Not to mention the CA Prop 30 sales tax increase January 1.
Just got this email. I'm P 8,888. Active air, 85kW. I just can't imagine that they could produce mine by end of year.
@Peter Spirgel
Thanks for the info on your delivery experience. You just helped me make my decision!
It seems like everyone who has their order finalized got this email. Did anyone NOT get the email?
#7579 said no wanted 2013 model year and better tax wise for credits in 2013.
#9905 85kW performance
Finalized late last week
No email yet. Bummed
Just called Tesla to clarify and it sounds as if the email was more of an attempt to gauge production for the end of the year. I was told (regardless of the email) that my car is not yet in production and will likely not be delivered by the EOY 2012. My suggestion is not to get too excited as I think the email is misleading which is my impression after speaking with the rep.
Remember the advice to store the tires flat, not upright. Unless you like square tires! ;)
P3820. I got the email last night as well.
Black, black, dark rims, air, 85kw, performance, etc.
P8402 - No Email. air suspension, 85KW. Finalized early November.
One more variable. I live in Southern California (plus have a configured 85 kwh active air suspension) and got the e-mail.
Maybe delivery location played a part in sending the e-mail out?
Presumably, there's virtually no lag in getting the car to me -- particularly if they do pick-up events in Hawthorne -- while it could take a week to get the car across the country.
Stated another way, I can likely take 2012 delivery of a car that is in the final stages of production on December 27 or even December 28 depending on weekend shifts. If Tesla is really trying to maximize 4Q revenues and/or hit the 3000 cars delivered target, they would be looking to California purchasers almost exclusively for cars manufactured late this month.
I hope anyone that gets a 2012 delivery promise from this effort posts the reults here.
Just say Yes to Tesla!
Actually, I guess we all did a long time ago.
results. sorry
I am #9358 (std 85kWh, air suspension) and have not received any email (my delivery is scheduled for early February).
P6000, 60kWh with air suspension and I have not received the email. Delivery estimate Jan/Feb, but I won't be surprised if it's March.
P6918, 85 Performance, Air Suspension, located in Florida. Said "Yes" send my Baby home!
P9,045 85kwh got my email yesterday, located in South Carolina, like bobinfla, I said "Yes" as well. It will be interesting to see what the return email from Tesla will say!
I replied to the e-mail yesterday and a red "Delivery" button appeared on my teslamotors.com dashboard today. I clicked through the info and got an e-mail with an estimated delivery date of December 15-31. I'm P6514, blue performance. This isn't really going to happen, is it? I was dubious about the FEB/MAR estimate from my MVPA as recently as 24 hours ago and now there's a possibility I'll get a car in the next couple of weeks?
Got the email yesterday and said yes. No follow up email yet, but checked My Dashboard after logging in for this session and the Delivery button was there. Completed the questionnaire and received the confirmation email. Delivery window Dec. 18 - Jan 1 at the San Diego Service Center.
Check your Dashboard!!!

Brandy signed on to "Dancing With the Stars for an age-old reason: Sibling pressure.
The R&B singer's brother said she'd be a "punk" if she didn't. Brandy's brother Ray J is, of course, also an R&B star, as well as a notorious reality dating series lothario, and the siblings' symbiotic – but also recently contentious – relationship gets examined in the second season of their unscripted VH1 series "Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business," premiering Dec. 5.
"I didn't know if 'Dancing with the Stars' was the right move," Brandy tells PopcornBiz of her struggle to commit to the contest, chronicled on the first episode of the reality series. "On top of that I was just afraid. I didn't want to embarrass myself. I didn't want to embarrass my family, my daughter, the fans, because dancing has never been something that I've been comfortable doing. So I didn't want to just go on there and not be good."
U.S. & World
"My brother put it into perspective," she explains. "He said, 'If you don't do "Dancing with the Stars" you're running ,and there is no other reason why you shouldn't do it. You need go ahead on and do it, because if you don't you're just basically a punk. You're afraid.' And that conversation did something to me and I just said, 'Forget it. I'm just going to do it.' And I did it."
But the show also reveals some cracks in their brother/sister bond, as Ray J begins to rebel against Brandy's constant concerns about his personal and professional decisions.
"I think I might love Ray J a little too much, because sometimes I can be overbearing and too protective. So I'm working on that," admits Brandy. "Our fighting this season has nothing to do with what I've done to him or what he's done to me. It's just about me feeling like I need to protect him from some of the choices that he's making."
Having gained newfound confidence and an even wider fanbase from her DWTS stint, Brandy also hopes her baby bro will follow in her dance shoes.
"I've been trying to convince Ray J that he should do 'Dancing with the Stars', but he told me that it looks too hard – which is one of the reasons I'm glad that I never watched 'Dancing with the Stars' before I was on. If I would've watched I never would've been on it because I would've said, 'Nah, that looks too complicated. It looks too hard.' So Ray is like, 'I'm never doing "Dancing with the Stars," it's too complicated!'"
