A bright and cheery look for your Summer Monday. As usual, Scott Schuman took this gorgeous photo in Florence and I archived it, knowing it was a classic look that I'd love to recreate because it would be in style for decades. I can see a woman from the 50's wearing this exact outfit (aside from the killer heels!). The bright yellow and blue combination is stunning and perfect as the summer fades into fall.

The first votes of the presidential election have already been cast — and in a battleground state.
As of Sunday, 602 ballots had been returned by mail to election officials in North Carolina. President Obama won the state narrowly in 2008, becoming the first Democrat to carry it in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976. It sits near the top of Mitt Romney's target list this year.
By Saturday, almost half the states in the union will be issuing absentee ballots by mail, according to the Early Voting Information Center at Reed College. Among them will be the battleground of Virginia. Yet another key state, Iowa, will allow in-person voting from Sept. 27.
The fact that voting has already begun is an urgent reminder of the importance of the "ground game" — the overarching term for the multiple methods by which campaigns try to maximize their vote through face-to-face contact, or via mail, email or phone.
The Obama campaign has a near-legendary reputation in this regard, built upon the field operation that propelled the then-Illinois senator to victory over Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonHarris readies a Phase 2 as she seeks to rejuvenate campaign Nevada Senate passes bill that would give Electoral College votes to winner of national popular vote 2020 Dems break political taboos by endorsing litmus tests MORE and, later, John McCainJohn Sidney McCainMeghan McCain says Ben Carson should be developing brain cancer treatment, not working at HUD Graham urges Trump not to abandon infrastructure talks with Democrats Pelosi receives John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award MORE in 2008. The Romney campaign, however, insists that it has an infrastructure in place that will level the playing field.
Both campaigns carefully guard comprehensive information about their nationwide efforts. But the Obama campaign notes by way of example that it has 100 field offices in Ohio and 49 in North Carolina.
"We have believed from the very beginning that this is going to be an extremely close election and we still believe it is going to be an extremely close election," an Obama campaign aide told The Hill. "We think the ground game is going to make the difference."
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus stated last week that volunteers for its Romney Victory effort had contacted their 20 millionth voter.
"We have a top-notch ground operation that is going toe-to-toe with President Obama every day," Priebus said.
Team Obama has enjoyed one particularly meaningful advantage: it began putting general-election infrastructure in place while Romney still had a competitive Republican primary process demanding his attention.
The president's reelection team opened its first Ohio field office in mid-November 2011 — about six weeks before the Iowa Republican caucuses took place, and almost five months before Romney became the de facto GOP nominee.
Democratic strategist Steve Elmendorf argues, based upon his experience as the deputy campaign manager for John KerryJohn Forbes KerryChimamanda Ngozi Adichie becomes first African to deliver Yale graduation speech Dem Sen. Markey faces potential primary challenge in Massachusetts Judd Gregg: The dangers of the Bolton Doctrine MORE's 2004 presidential bid, that this amounts to a major edge. Eight years ago, Elmendorf pointed out, then-President George W. Bush and his campaign manager, Ken Mehlman, "were building a micro-targeting ground game, while we were slogging through the primary."
RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski insisted that the Romney effort had made up any shortfall, in part through a more focused deployment of its resources.
"We were never in a race for numbers, we were never in a race for field offices," Kukowski said. "It is a bit of a Democratic way of looking at the problem: to imagine that you have to throw more people and more money at it. We feel very good about the team that we have in the field."
The Romney side might have another advantage when it comes to off-setting Team Obama's early start: as a general rule, the demographic groups that lean Republican tend to turn out more reliably at the polls than do the groups that favor Democrats.
The difference can be seen in opinion polls that present results from those they judge to be likely voters alongside results from the broader pool of registered voters.
The latest New York Times/CBS News poll, released on Friday, had Obama leading Romney by 8 percentage points among all registered voters, but by only 3 percentage points among likely voters.
"Traditionally, Democrats have had to do more hustling to get their voters to the polls," said Michael McDonald of George Mason University, an expert on the issue of voter turnout. "This is a generalization, but if you look at their profiles — minorities, the poor, younger people — that's a profile of people who tend to be 'lower propensity' voters."
Republican strategists like Keith Appell have seen the same phenomenon.
"Over the years, there has been a trend of the Republican vote outperforming the polls," he said. "We've always felt that if we were down a couple of points, we felt okay about it."
Both sides are also trying to leverage technological innovation to their advantage. The Obama campaign in May launched Dashboard, its flagship online organizing tool. Among other features, it connects supporters to others in their neighborhood and enables volunteers to make canvassing phone calls from home.
"Maybe there are people who are really enthusiastic supporters who just don't really want to walk into a campaign office," the Obama campaign aide said. "Dashboard allows them to have that experience."
But, the aide stressed, "It's not the tool that's newsworthy; it's the fact that it makes it easier for people to get involved that's newsworthy."
Republicans have been trying to close the tech gap, acknowledging that they were outperformed in this area in 2008. They now have a smartphone application and a "Social Victory Center" app on Facebook.
"I think conservatives and Republicans have caught up somewhat with Obama and our friends on the left," Appell said. "They far outpaced us in 2008. We caught up a bit in 2010 and we have just about drawn even with them."
The tech-based competition is fierce. On Aug. 23, the Obama campaign announced it would be "the first political campaign in history" to accept donations via text message. The Romney campaign followed just eight days later.
Whether the ground-game is fought by text or by more traditional means, however, neither side is in any doubt how much it matters. The result of the election might well depend on it.

Where It's Better To Place Keywords
When I decided to promote my online shop and my personal website by means of Toronto SEO Company strategies I discovered that it was not enough to just choose suitable key words and use them in the website's content. The location of keywords was also a matter of importance. I used keywords in headlines on my webpages as well as in content descriptions on those webpages. However, it wasn't enough. Here is the list of other places where I inserted keywords and key phrases.
Headings: the title and headlines on the webpage.
Tags of headlines like h1, h2, h3, etc. were in the hierarchy of headlines of my webpage.
Such tags are also very important for search bots which study the website's content. Keywords are to appear in HTML code as the tag of the headline as H1 headline which are used for creating the webpage's title.
Toronto SEO specialists believe that matching headlines and sub-headlines are more important than simple text, because they are, as a rule, bigger and more noticeable. That's why they are to be more attractive and they become the excellent place for keywords on the website.
Headlines and sub-headlines of the page should better be like its title, correspond to its topic but they must not contain the similar text. Search engines hate the identical or copied text including headlines and sub-headlines which look alike.
Too many headlines and sub-headlines can make search robots suspicious. I paid a lot of attention for writing headlines and texts for visitors of my website, not for search engines.
Keywords and the content or the text on the webpage.
The content is one of most important elements of any website. I've heard many times that the content is the essential element of the Internet. Keywords in the text of the webpage are especially important, then the place where keywords are inserted and how often they are repeated. Keywords play the decisive role when the search engine indexes the website and then shows it in search results. The text is to contain enough keywords to attract the attention of search engines' robots, but at the same time there shouldn't be too many of them when you get the feeling that the webpage is overwhelmed by such keywords.
So, I knew that keywords are to match words and phrases which potential visitors would use to search for my website (or its topic, or the product I sell).

"O God, who have made all those reborn in Christ a chosen race and a royal priesthood, grant us, we pray, the grace to will and to do what you command, that the people called to eternal life may be one in the faith of their hearts and the homage of their deeds. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever."
In John 11 we see Jesus claiming He will be sacrificed to gather together the scattered children of God. His death and resurrection draw us to Him to be sent out into the world. We renew our mind and heart through Lent in order to bring newness of spirit to the rest of the year in order to complete the works God has for us.
Tomorrow begins Holy Week. As we prepare for it, remember the same people who waved palm leaves and shouted praises spit and cursed the Savior of the world. With our mouths we are guilty of the same sins. Pray for a consistent spirit for this coming week. This is the beginning of the end of the Lenten journey as our hearts gather with Christians all over the world in Jerusalem for Passover.
Prayer points // Pray for a ready and willing heart. Pray for the mind that understands the meaning of Holy Week.
Scripture Mediation // John 11:45-56; Jeremiah 31

In a few short hours I'll be off to the Hawaiian Airlines flight that will take me to Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia. Steve and I will spend tonight at the Sheraton, see some friends of his tomorrow and then at 3:00 p.m. take our flight to Raiatea where Susan awaits us. It's a short hop with incredible views out the window of the islands of FP. Moorea, Huahine, Tahaa and Raiatea should delight us with their beauty from the air.
My bags are right at the limit of 70 lbs. each. My clothes take up a small corner of my carry-on duffle. The only thing left to pack are my toiletries. I'm still debating about the electric toothbrush. Power is a precious commodity on the boat, as is space. It will take up a little of each.
The autopilot brain that I sent overnight to New Hampshire arrived back yesterday all fixed. It's a relief. It's only our backup system, but it's wonderful to have. I love to man the helm, but it's quite a job 24 hours a day.
Steve is still waiting to see if the wind indicator shows up. Apparently there were a couple of shipping mixups. If it comes, it may be at the last minute today.
The adventure begins.

There is much to learn about trading forex and much success that can go along with this knowledge. There is plenty of information available, however, not everything you read will apply to your specific situation. This article will give some great tips for trading forex.
Browse around and find blogs and forums for assistance with your trading. Millions of investors are using forex to make money, so it's not hard to find regular people like you who have invested in the market and who have learned the market's ins and outs. Speak to real people about the market for the best information.
To get the most out of the forex market, do not rely too much on advice from other traders. Fellow traders see all the same information you see. They have no secret, privileged information to give you. Ultimately you will find it far more profitable to learn how to interpret the market information yourself rather than to rely on the questionable interpretations of other traders.
When you trade currencies in forex, try to buy based on trends. Picking currencies that are top and bottom pairs may seem more lucrative, but it is a much more difficult way to trade. Following trends will give you more long-term success and therefore, more long-term profit in your forex trading.
A good forex trading tip is to only trade with money you can stand to lose. If you can't stand to lose the money you're trading with, you might end up losing it all in a bad deal which could be disastrous. Make sure you have enough money to survive on before you start trading.
If you choose to allow your forex trading accounts to be managed with a software program or "robot," do not allow greed to cloud your judgement. It is most likely a mistake to fiddle with the trade settings of the software, especially if you are a novice trader. That software was programmed by someone with a lot more experience than you, and unless you see a serious flaw, it's better to leave it alone.
Know your forex markets. The first market to open is the Australasia area, then Europe and finally, North America. Quite often a market's trading time will overlap with another one, making this the most active trading period. During the trading week, there is always a market open, where you will be able to make a currency trade.
When you are learning how to best understand your forex trading data start by understanding the days. Once you have that mastered you can focus on larger and larger scopes of time from weeks and months to years. If you start out without a good understanding of daily goals, you will never comprehend the bigger picture.
When using a stop loss on your Forex program, remember to always set it before you validate your order. Neglecting this major detail could result in a very, very bad day of trading in the marketplace. It's the little things that will help you achieve long-term success as a Forex trader.
Study the Forex markets before buying positions. Many people see Forex as a get rich quick scheme, but like any activity you've got to study a little before getting heavily involved. You'll find the markets much kinder to your account when you learn a bit first about the markets themselves.
Once you make a profit, take some of those Forex winnings and transfer them to another position. This way you not only profit but expand your portfolio. You might want to let your profits run as long as possible but inevitably they will begin to fall and you'll lose some of what you've made.
To be successful in the foreign exchange market it is necessary that you should not be afraid to take or explore a new path. As you experience lots of things in trading, your needs could change. Your financial situation could also change and your plan should change accordingly as well.
When setting up your forex trading platform, avoid cluttering the space with too many indicators. All of the price action is happening right in front of you on the screen. Having too many indicators can work against you, becoming confusing and causing you to lose focus. Choose two indicators that help you the most, and keep your screen simple and clean.
One important thing to note with regards to Forex trading is to define your risk tolerance carefully. In order to find out what kind of trader you are, you must realize what degrees of risks you are comfortable with, and stay away from any trading that may exceed those risk limits.
In summary, there are some obvious ideas that have been tested over time, as well as some newer techniques that you may not have considered. Hopefully, as long as you follow what we suggest in this article, you can either get started with trading forex or improve on what you have already done.

So, how did I go about buying
Island Eagle
Well, it's a long story, but the quest started in earnest in the fall of 2002. I had thought off and on about buying a larger boat (at the time I owned a 26 foot wooden lobsterboat). I had in mind doing some local cruising, maybe taking up to a few weeks at a time. My idea was that I would find something like a Grand Banks 42, keep that for a few years, and then move from the GB up to a real passagemaker.
I had been watching the various boat for sale listings for several years, but started getting serious about it. I also searched the Internet, and eventually settled on Yachtworld as the best site. I worked out my criteria and settled down to watch the prices (by the way, if you want a fantastic resource on how to buy a boat, get
Boating for Less
by Steve Henkel. It's a whole book dedicated to helping you buy a boat for less.).
The other important selection factor was that I was looking for a wooden boat. I like wooden boats. They are simple. They are safe. They look right. And best of all, used ones are what you might call "value priced".
I also limited my search to the U.S. and Canada. Although there were some attractive offshore boats, I decided that the whole delivery/shipping/tax/duty/travel hassle was too much.
As mentioned, I initially though of a Grand Banks. The 42 was very attractive, and the the 36 looked nice as well, and in fact the little 32 was a bit small but still attractive. We loaded up Yachtworld (use the "advanced search", anything else is wasting your time) to look for wooden Grand Banks. At any give time there is a nice selection of woodies, ranging in price from about $120K down to $40K.
This was interesting, so I decided to look at other wooden trawlers in the same size: Under 45 feet, wooden trawlers.
This produced an even more interesting list, with lots to look at. But it also exposed something interesting: There were a lot of "value priced" boats in the larger sizes. So I refined my search one more time, so that instead of selecting by size I was selecting by price. I set a lower limit of $50K (to weed out the real project boats) and an upper limit of $351K (which was more than I wanted to pay, but I was beginning to realize that the asking price and the selling price were two different things
Now this list was really interesting. It ranged from massive 90 footers down to exquisite 30 foot masterpieces. Clearly, 90 feet was too big. And I already had a small boat. So the final refinement to the search was boats between 40 and 70 feet, between $50,000 and $351,000, made of wood, with single diesel power, in Canada or the US.
I went to work narrowing this down into a list of a few dozen potential boats. After talking to the brokers, I came up with a list of a dozen or so, and decided that I would spend the Christmas vacation looking at about half a dozen (funnily enough, I had eliminated Island Eagle from this list, partially due to the age of her systems). Five were in the North Carolina / south Carolina area, and I decided to use the same broker to see all of the boats. Big mistake. I got down to North Carolina, and the trip was a disaster. When I got to the broker's office, he told me that the first two boats I was supposed to see (a Grand Banks 32 and an Alaskan 49) were both out of the harbor. The next day I was supposed to see two nearby boats, one of which was owned by the broker. "Nearby" turned out to be 2 hours drive, and to top it of the broker's boat was a piece of crap. The boat was appallingly poorly maintained. He was asking $169K, and it's not exaggerating to tell you that the boat was worth at most $50K. The next day was even worse: I drove down to Charleston, SC to look at a Grand Banks 42, and arrived at the berth to find that the boat had not been there for at least a month!
I learned a few lessons right there:
1) Deal only with the listing broker. Don't talk to anyone else, even another broker at the same brokerage.
2) Find out where the boats are located and plan your own travel.
3) Get good, high-quality, recent pictures. If the broker can't provide them, abandon the boat, because any broker worth their salt would provide them,l and the fact that they don't means that they have something to hide.
After that disappointing experience, I was off to San Francisco to look at another boat:
. I'd done our research on the web, and this was a boat! Man, it was practically a ship! But I'd been burned already, and I didn't want to get our hopes up. Finally, I headed over to see the boat in its moorage.
To say I was smitten was an understatement. This was a beautiful boat, and the price was pretty darn nice as well: Although the asking price was $299,000, the broker told us in the first few minutes that he thought I could get the boat for $220,000. Well! This was certainly a lot of boat for that price. I spent a long day on board, and then came back the next day. I also managed to track down a previous owner and get some additional information.
There were some troubling issues -- for example, the major fire in the mid 80's, which the broker had "forgotten" to tell me about. There were also some deck leaks, non-functioning stabilizers, unknown engine hours, some rot in the topsides, and about a half-dozen other substantial issues. Still, she was a fine boat. After a few weeks of agonizing I decided that I would have our surveyor come down from Seattle and take a look. After another full day on the boat I had a better understanding of the issues, and decided to make what I felt was a realistic bid at $120K, with our "cut off" mentally set at $160K. The vendor was "deeply shocked and appalled" but came back with a lower price. After a month of negotiation, though, the two parties remained $25K apart and I decided that we would walk away from the boat.
At the end of this process I learned a few more lessons:
1) Ignore talk about other buyers. Make your own decisions at your own pace.
2) Make an offer for what you think the boat is worth. In our case, I offered $120K on a $299K boat. Back your offer up with a survey so the seller realizes the real story.
3) Set an upper price limit and stick to it (We didn't, by the way. Our limit was $160K, and we went to $175K)
4) Don't be afraid to walk away. The wooden trawler market is very illiquid, and the boat will be there for a long time. The price won't ever go up, you can be sure of that.
5) To paraphrase Mark Twain, don't trust anything you hear, and only trust half of what you see.
Bruised and battered, I retired home to lick our wounds and regroup. I decided that I was going to start over, going through the full list one more time. I reviewed each boat, and for those that I was interested in I contacted the listing broker and if possible the owner. I came up with about 20 possible boats, which I then ranked. I even made a point of telling every broker exactly what boats I was looking at, which served two purposes: I let them know that I had other options, and it helped them understand what sort of boats we were interested in.
The other decision I made was to have our surveyor look at the boats before I did. Although this might sound a bit backward, if you have to fly somewhere to see a boat it's worth checking the condition before going to the hassle and expense of travel. In the long run, I am very happy that we did this.
Finally, I had a new "master list" of boats to check out: Two Grand Banks in Florida, a Grand Banks in Texas, an Island Gypsy and an ex-RCMP boat in Ventura, and five boats in Seattle... one of which was
Island Eagle
. My surveyor had already checked and endorsed all of the boats in Seattle. I flew out to look at every single boat, joined by my father for the Seattle portion. At the end of a week we were exhausted, but we had a clear winner!
Island Eagle
turned out to be the boat that "said hello". After a short negotiation she was mine... pending a full survey and sea trial, of course. In mid-April I headed down to Seattle one more time, and after a long and grueling day of sea trials and surveying (which the owners were most gracious about) I came away the new owner of an old boat.
Lessons Learned
1) Talk to the owner before looking at a boat (not always a guarantee, illustrated by the "needs a little varnish" boat which turned out to have gaping holes in the foredeck covered with trash bags and duct tape... really!).
2) Make sure brokers know what other boats you are looking at.
3) If at all possible, get your surveyor to spend a few hour on the boats before you see them. Listen to what the surveyor says.
4) Search by price, not just by size. The are some great bargains in larger boats.

BOTT now has the Office Drone chop fitted - I had to take out the Handy bot chip to fit it in (pout). She rolled a few job wishes ... she is now registering herself as a self employed gardener.
Lime is out finally .... it has been quite a while since we have seen her - I think I can only remember her being out once all through Basil's elderly life.
I don't know how SIXTY-EIGHT has managed to get his umbrella into that state ... he is frying so it is not protecting him from the sun at all.
I am laughing at SIXTY-NINE and SEVENTY ... they are queuing up to speak to Whitney.
Reed is dancing with one of the random pap visitors ...
until Lime buts in and scares them both - lol
BOTT is off to the shop to sell all the fruit and veg that is weighing her down and to buy some different things to plant
She speaks to THIRTY-FOUR
I spot Ocean's brother, Allen who is now a child
SEVENTY-ONE is a very cute - but strange boy - lol
Red is doing SIXTY-SEVEN's ice statue
SEVENTY-ONE decides to skip his last day of school. He is on an A grade anyway, so I don't suppose it matters all that much.
SIXTY-EIGHT's ice statue
SIXTY-NINE has not rolled any job wishes yet, he is happy to sit watching tv all day.
SIXTY-EIGHT has founds Basil's laser rythmn
Extra is now a Genetic Resequencer (level 7)
He needs to increase his handy skill for work, so he is having a go at upgrading the sink.
Shockingly SEVENTY wants to work ... he gets himself a business career
he is heart farting his male boss
SIXTY-SEVEN in his police uniform
Affair and Jasmine
SEVENTY-ONE is having his birthday
He gained the Neat Trait
LTW = World Renown Surgeon
She gained the Eccentric trait
LTW= Magic Makeover
Another one who looks just like Red!!
So that is it ... Ocean's six children are now all adults
and of course Snuggles is growing up - but only for SEVENTY-TWO to see
and Extra thinks she has gone mad!!
It is a shame she didn't get to make the IF real potion!!
Two more ice statues left to do
SEVENTY-ONE got the job at the hospital that he needs
Another bad one .. although she is getting between $1,600 and £2,000 for all these bad sculptures so I guess it is not so bad!
The second attempt the next morning was interupted by graduation.
Today is Spooky Day
Pheonix and Raven are outside the town hall
TWENTY-EIGHT is now elderly
This made me laugh ... Selfies
I wander if Pheonix enjoys seeing himself as a cardboard box
Oh no!!!
I can see disaster coming .... FIFTY-TWO is frying like mad and wobbling all over the place.
TWENTY-SEVEN and Terrance
I couldn't let FIFTY-TWO suffer the same fate as his Dad in the very same place.
So Extra used one of his vampire sunscreen elixir on his brother.
Now he wont have to worry about the sun and it won't finish him off!!
most likely to be a sports star
Most popular
Two sparkly vampires
Lol ... SIXTY-NINE is the one taking the nap today
FIFTY-FIVE and FIFTY-EIGHT
Red is fairy frolicking with Phoenix
Ocean and Raven have just been heart farting .... and without even speaking to her he wants to become best friends with her - lol
Now Red is fairy frolicking with TWENTY-SEVEN
Ocean and Raven are heart farting AGAIN.
I get the feeling they really like each other!!
They discover they have quite a few things in common!!
Look at Kale and Red's faces!! Lol!! I think they can also see what is probably coming.
Lacey has obviously been to a fancy dress party
Red buts in to part Ocean and Raven who are nattering away and becoming very good friends.
FORTY-FIVE is laughing at Lacey ... but he needs to look at himself!!
I haven't said .... but Whitney now has a job at the school because she wanted a career in education
TWENTY-SEVEN now he is old looks just like his Dad, Mango!!
Extra gets hugs from his big sister.
SIXTY-NINE gets up when he is on the verge of freezing to death!!
Thankfully he made it home in time to warm himself up.

Visit Quebec City
Just a four-and-a-half hour drive north from Bangor, Canada's oldest city has winter in its DNA and while the days may be short, they are long on fun, food and festivals.
Hugging the cliffs above the St. Lawrence Seaway, Quebec City is one of North America's only walled cities and a UNESCO World Heritage City. It pays homage to winter with a distinctly European flair from the French-styled architecture down to the centuries-old cobblestone streets.
And, oh, how they love to party in those streets.
Cold, winter-like conditions come early in Old Quebec, with snow a real possibility in November and December.

I planned on updating the blog because it's my diet-quiet day (which is normally on a Wednesday but got moved to Tuesday this week). So imagine my surprise when I saw the notification from WordPress that it's our 'one year anniversary'!!
I can't believe it's been one year already. In some ways, that makes sense because I did started a blog last year but it also feels like I've been on WordPress for much longer…
Apparently I've written 34 blog posts in one whole year… I wonder if I should aim high and say I will update and post more than 34 blog posts for this new year xD
Well, like they say, shoot for the moon, aim for the stars.
Anyway, I came back to GZ last week to find that my laptop can't quite connect to the internet unless it's in the same room as the router =_= I think it's my laptop (because I did drop my backpack twice at the airport before flying back to GZ… >.>).
I've already tried to change the router already but that didn't really work… I think the signal is a bit stronger but nowhere near as good as before I left. My phone is fine though so I think the problem lies with my laptop. Urgh. A sign to get a new one then. Mind you, it's approaching being 5 years old so I suppose it is time to get a new one…
Hmm… let's see if there's anything else…
Oh yes! Sherlock!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I have no words for all of my feelings.
I watched the first episode on 2nd January and squee-ed. A lot. Then I had to pause because I was buried in work when the second episode came out.
I have a copy as I came back to GZ but thought that I should wait until the final episode came out before I watch it. And boy, was I right.
I came home yesterday and did a quick calculation in my head to see if I have enough time to watch both episodes. And then I thought, 'Oh, I can go to sleep a bit later for Sherlock.'
So I made a quick dinner (just a bowl of cereal xDDD) then sat down in front of the laptop and thought 'I can start watching it while I eat, then pause when I finished so I can go shower and see the rest of it in bed.'
Boy, was I wrong.
What was I thinking? How would I be able to pause Sherlock??? So I ended up sitting on the cold floor, watching the 2nd episode.
I did manage to stop myself from watching the third episode, went and took a shower first, then came back and watched the final episode in bed.
Oh. My. Goodness.
All of the feelings! I just squee-ed and flailed at the end. And then went straight into fandom to see how other fans have coped with this.
And I've noticed that many fans didn't like Series 4 but I quite enjoyed it. It was definitely better than series 3 (which left me feeling like the writers were just trolling with us fans…).
And I felt surprisingly ok with the ending of Series 4. Though it got real dark and my heart broke for Sherlock (but hey, that's nothing new).
So yeah… that's it. Who knows if there will be another series… Though I think I can finally say that I'm happy with what we've got now.
(As I've typed this, leaning back against the headboard, my laptop can't quite connect to the wifi. Apparently, this is too far away and the signal is too weak. TT^TT)
I'm afraid with this situation with the wifi, I'm being put off writing anything else. I would like to continue on with my trip to Japan with lune but I'm not sure I can do it without the internet. *frustrated* *resigned*
It is only 7pm but I'm contemplating sleep already. I wonder if it's too ridiculously early but I seriously have nothing else to do. Might as well sleep early, wake up early and get on with work…
I hope you are all having a good week!
With love,
From GZ
PS – It's been cold in GZ!! And rainy too, urgh. How British of it!
PPS – The internet was so bad that I have to reboot my laptop and put it next to the router to post this blog. T-T

+ Nice hotel
+ Includes breakfast and wifi
+ Felt more culturally appropriate than just staying at a modern Marriott hotel that is the same in every city
+ Hot coca tea available in the lobby all day
+ Free bottled water in rooms
– The walls are a bit thin here, while it wasn't a problem temperature wise, we did hear some music coming from the neighbors all night
A note on Cusco: Cusco sits at 11,000 feet elevation and is a typical stop for tourists to acclimate before hiking Machu Picchu. All the locals drink coca tea and chew coca gum or coca candy. It's readily available everywhere. This works well to settle your stomach and is supposed to help you acclimate, however they say not to drink coca tea at night time as it will keep you up. I also took ibprofin and tums. While I did get a bit of altitude sickness, our tour guide helped me get some red and white capsules from the pharmacy called Sorojchi pills. They are supposed to help with altitude sickness and included sugar and some type of diarrhetic, which really helped my nausea. I took one every 8 hours, and after a night of chugging water, I woke up feeling fine and ready to go.
Do not bring coca leaves home with you as they are illegal in America.
Things to do in Cusco:
San Blas Square and Market – if you're looking for a Peru souvenir this is a great place to start. More or less all the shops will carry the same things (blankets, scarves, paintings, backpacks, etc) but prices are highly negotiable so find one willing to wiggle.
Jack's Cafe – absolutely eat here. Everything we tried here was tasty and the staff was friendly. I suggest the bruschetta, cheeseburger or banana pancakes. Also black coffee is great here.
Papachos – this place is super hip and has a awesome little rooftop to enjoy a drink at. I suggest getting the iced tea with coca. I believe they called it "The Magic Drink." We even ordered an extra to go.
North Face store – there are 3 real north face stores in Cusco (per their website). The main one is in the Plaza de Armas across from the large Cathedral. Keep this is mind, the rest of the market stores selling North Face are all fake. You should be able to tell by the low quality zippers and cheap logo stitching.
Pisco Sour Tour with Urban Adventures – we found this tour online and met our wonderful guide in the Plaza de Armas, look for a red shirt when trying to meet up. She took us through the streets of the city and talked about the Inca and Spanish history and building styles. This too was well worth it as we'd never know the full history of this wonder city. Afterwards we ended at a bar where we were escorted upstairs to try making our own pisco sour. Recipe below:
- 3/4 oz of sour mix / lemon juice / fruit flavor … I suggest trying the passion fruit flavor
- 1/2 oz of simple syrup
- 2 1/2 oz of pisco
- 1 egg white
- SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE so the egg whites get frothy. This is a lot harder then it looks.
- Pour over ice, and top off with a few drops of bitters.
Try the chicha – this a fruity juice that all the locals drink. It was available at Machu Picchu, on the train and even sold by little kids on the streets. It tastes like grape koolaid.
Peru Bar – this bar will be opening on Valentine's Day 2017. Our Urban Adventures tour guide is friends with the owner so we got a sneak peak while we were there. It is directly across from Jack's Cafe on the second story. Definitely check it out, the owners are wonderful and their pisco flavors are to die for! Ask for Lia or David.
Portales II – great little restaurant in the plaza Regicijo. Pisco sours are strong and the pizza is good. If possible sit on the patio and enjoy the street performers playing traditional music, but beware you'll be bothered by street vendors asking you to purchase items.

We're not going to persuade people in the developing world to go without, but neither can we afford a planet on which everyone lives like an American. Billions more people living in suburbs and driving SUVs to shopping malls is a recipe for planetary suicide. We can't even afford to continue that way of life ourselves.
For carbon-neutral cities, there are things worth talking about in how our consumption patterns can change - sharing goods, etc. - but those are a fraction of the impacts of transportation and building energy use. If we need to choose priority actions, the most important things are to densify, provide transit, and green the buildings.

What's Up In Iceland?
I have often wondered about this question! I was actually at a Washington, DC grocery store the other night, when a beautiful lady came up to me and offered me a taste of her beer. Beer brewed with pure Icelandic water. It was good, and it made me think of global warming, and what would Al Gore think? So, now read the article. Cheers!
What Would Al Gore Drink?
By Maggie Dutton
"Global warming beer made from melting ice caps." I read the headlines scattered around the Internet. Some Danish guys are making beer in Greenland—from Arctic ice that predates the Industrial Revolution, ergo, pollution—and the buzz is huge.

Finland's Olli Aarni enjoyed a prolific 2017, releasing a ratio-based loop LP, a triple tape of water recordings, a shared project with Mia Tarkela including a mushroom photo zine, and a split tape with Nuslux that sounded like a music box lullaby but was inspired by alarm clock tones. Best of all was Nielu, a bleak and beautiful LP that was a little before its time when it was released in October, but is perfect for the winter months. Inspired by "harsh winters", Nielu translates as "swallowing" or "vortex", and gradually engulfs all other sounds in its droning swirl.
The loops endemic to Aarni's work are still in place, apparent as early as the opening bars; yet the defining characteristic of this two-track release is its sense of forward movement. We are headed into the vortex, not just spinning; and we may never reemerge. In a sense, the album serves as the antithesis of the placid Vesiä and the soothing "Lumpeenkuka". When the winds and soft precipitation become audible in the fourth minute, one thinks of the last-minute rush to gather everything inside: food, furniture, children. The difference in Finland is that one is never too sure when one will be able to venture outside again.
And yet, as dense as the textures may get, they also offer a lulling quality, that of safety in a storm or ~ in its closing minutes ~ the calm of the wake, the pure, undisturbed white. The Finish titles, roughly translated as "Glowing Wind" and "Fog Veil", display their own sense of synesthesia. On Side B, a soft underlying drone exudes comfort despite the crackling debris above, like pillowy drifts beneath a thin layer of sleet. As the volume lowers and the sounds slow, the spirit returns to a setting of stasis. The final feeling is one of satisfaction, having prepared in advance for such harsh conditions. (Richard Allen)

Popcorn process
The material undergoes various states, such as popcorn reflects the possibilities that can be felt in passing from one state to another under pressure from external elements.
Popcorn as consumable material is swallowed just in its finality.
Corn / heat / internal expansion / explosion = Popcorn
human / pressure / expansion / explosion = States
IN-SAMI3NA Zouheir Atbane, 9'04''
Cette pièce sonore revisite la mémoire de certaine subtilité sonore qui nous entoure. Une manière de prélever de la poésie du quotidien et retranscrire l'espace public marocain sous forme de puzzle sonore aléatoire.
Il n'y a pas de code ni d'histoire, il y a juste des fragments qui se croisent et la chance d'être là au moment ou ça se passe.
This project is a personal vision about this mystical world of marabout in Morocco.
After being questioned by the gravity of the space from my childhood to this day. I asked a few questions about:
· how can we represent the word BARAKA in sound experience?
· How the sacred dimension makes these space strong with sense and material?
I will try to answer to these questions by creating a virtual Marabou in which I represent my personal experience, inviting the public to enter into a body-sound ritual.

7 Responses to "Kick-Ass: The Movie! Now With 50% Less Nihilism!"
We (Brenda and I) saw Kick-Ass on Fri, and thought it pretty good.
Having Hit-Girl say 'cunt' and 'cock' though, was just pretty much pointless and gratuitous, it added nothing and it's absence would have removed nothing. If she was foul mouthed, fine, but given the rest of her lines – the director seems to have made her utter those two expletives more out of laziness than anything else. He tried to make her seem hardcore/hardboiled – but he missed by a country mile by not being consistent throughout.
I liked Nic Cage (but then I'm a fan), but he tried to come off creepy campy too hard and ended up just plain creepy. Had he acted in his 'normal' voice (as if a madman that doesn't see himself as mad) it would have worked far, far better for me.
And stylistically, that just keeps happening throughout the film – trying too hard and *just* missing the bullseye because of lack of attention to detail.
The unheralded delight in the movie, for me, was the kingpin dude and his almost Johnny Dangerously styled henchthugs. Just ordinary workaday mobsters, tossed in way the hell over their heads.
4.5 out of 5 for me – it was a fun film, but the director just tried too hard and it showed. A little polish and attention to detail and it would have been a classic.
Contrary to your reasoning, I doubt that anyone thought the actress in the film was actually killing people. I believe that everyone who saw the film understood that it was a work of fiction. What is objectionable is the amount of ugly, portrayed violence. Also, the fact that the 11-year-old actress' parents OK'd for her to say "cunt" and act in ways meant to shock doesn't make it acceptable. If the history of child acting has proven anything, it is that Mom and Dad will approve just about any degrading, perverted act as long as it gets their little piggy bank on screen. Finally, I love your logic with regards to the possibility of said underage (by a far goddman cry) actress having heard words like "cunt." If she has heard the word said, than it's OK for her to say it. Right? Yeah, that makes perfect sense. "You get 'em girl!"
Frankly, the film made my skin crawl.
1: "In every interview I've seen or read, she seems a remarkably well adjusted, intelligent young woman" —-
Well, don't they all before they become maladjusted, drug-addled, unhappy misfits unable to cope with the real world?
I am not so concerned with the adjustment or lack thereof of Ms. Moretz. My concern is what her character suggests about society – that we are entertained by an 11-year-old girl calling people a cunt and killing hordes of them with tons of gushing blood. What next will an 11 year old do (with mom and dad's approval, of course) in front of a camera that we will pay money to see? How in the world is Moretz' ugly, hate-filled, violent, child character in any way a healthy thing, considering today's escalating levels of child and teen violence?
2: "Sure, it's disturbing to hear a young girl say "cunt" (or "dick" for that matter), but that was the point!"
"The point"? How does it being "the point" make it immune to criticism or audience disgust?
3. "And quite frankly, if Hit-Girl had said "dick" rather than "cunt," I don't believe half as many panties would be twisted."
Well, that is, of course, true, but not for any qualitative value placed on vaginas and penises. Calling someone a "cunt" is a far uglier act than calling someone a "dick," and that has nothing at all to do with the origin of the words. If you doubt this, run a couple scenarios through in your mind. My guess is you have called someone a dick (probably recently). How often have you called someone a cunt?
And besides, to characterize folks, like myself, who have concerns about this film as having their panties twisted is simply insulting and petty.
Hey, happy blogging!

Books Read in 2010
This includes books that I read myself as well as the chapter books I read aloud to my children. The link is to my review where you will find each title linked to Amazon (from which I receive a very small percentage of purchases made from those links - I have yet to earn enough to even request the minimum amount, so I'm certainly not in this for the money!)

UGSalsa / Underground Salsa
Sarnia and Brights Grove area, Ontario, CANADA.
Mark & Judy Sopel
(519) 869-2232
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Way We Teach
We only teach beginner Salsa and Merengue.
Our style of teaching is different from other local groups. We concentrate on a lead-follow technique, which enables the couple to learn and develop new moves together. We also teach separate steps and dance form, but do not teach any routines. The problem with a routine is that once you have learned a dance routine it's very difficult to dynamically change it -- especially if the room is a different size than what you're used to, or if something, or someone gets in the path of your routine! Also many of our dance moves can also be applied to other dance styles, such as Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Polka, etc., but with different timing and usually some minor changes in footwork to accommodate the move.
We teach dance to couples - It is possible to learn as a single person, but we try to encourage couples to join together. Sometimes we can match two single people in our classroom who have never known each other to share the experience. As a man and woman are equal contributers to a couple, it is important that the man will lead and the lady will follow. The man can be described as providing the frame (for the woman,) and the woman is an elegant and beautiful flowing dress. We also try to keep it as simple as possible by giving you many tips that will help you with all kinds of dance that others may not teach, like the ladies' "push back," the importance of the hand hold during spins, and "Cuban Motion" technique, just to name a few.
When performing Salsa and Merengue it is important to take small steps -- the faster the Salsa and Merengue, the smaller the steps should be. Merengue and Salsa can at times be very fast - so practice smaller steps and you will me more likely to keep up with the song's tempo.
We attempt to teach individual couples at their own pace, therefore our class can get very dynamic at times. If you're just beginning to learn to dance, then it's nice to see more advanced couples and different moves. If you're more advanced, then the classes will provide a great practice session for you and to help you with better technique and styling. We hold an "open-style" class which is alot of fun - not a rigorous "army-style" class which could be very demanding and discouraging.
Practice, practice, and more practice...
Everyone needs to practice what they learn to retain their new dance moves and put your "muscle memory" into action! Dance is not easy - it may take considerable time, practice, and patience to master the proper techniques and also the fancy moves. Dance at times may be frustrating, as well as one of the most enjoyable pastimes you could experience, sometimes at the same time. It's important to "stick with it" as you learn - not getting discouraged, but to remember that everyone is learning -- even the professionals are always learning new steps, and better technique. As you progress you will without doubt have more confidence in your dance steps, master better technique, and perhaps even obtain your own unique style that can set you apart from the rest!
More practice time is what really sets the professionals apart from the amateurs. Just remember that the professional dancers practice alot!
Other Dances
Along with teaching Salsa and Merengue, we try to offer/provide a venue in the Sarnia area where one can practice at least once/month. This may be either listed under our [Other Events] or our [Dance Parties] pages.
Email "Blast "
Announcements of local dances are "auto-magically" done through a listserv server and sends an email to you when you sign up to our "email Blast." Please take 1 minute to sign up to this service to keep you informed of great upcoming events.
Happy dancing.

Your lighting should not look like modern or contemporary choices. So, this is the most important factor to consider in any modern bathroom. Bathroom lighting should help improve the appearance of the room while allowing you to see yourself in a free light. You must fix the bathroom lights according to a person's taste and the mood you would like to bring into the room. The lighting of the bathroom in the farm is one of the most important lights in the house. The lighting for the bathroom in a farm designed for the lion's share is called a work light.
When you are renovating your kitchen, you have several options in almost every design detail. A little more with regard to the kitchen sink, a fun choice for men and women who want a particular kitchen! The design of the kitchens is a big effort. The kitchen has a royal design style, which is also definitive for the rest of the house. It also includes a professional refrigerator and a wine storage center, as well as windows that surround you from almost all sides. Agricultural cuisine is connected with warmth and joy.
The sink should be simple, but should add a course. Pedestal sinks take up little space but leave no storage space, which means that you will have to find another piece of furniture to store your toiletries. If you are looking for a delicious and exceptional sink, stay on top and start exploring alternatives to your kitchen bowls! In the end, the built-in sinks are based on the worktop and are created with identical material, which provides a seamless aesthetic that works perfectly with granite. Likewise, sinking into the kitchen also desires a proper choice so that it can go with the appearance of your design.

Merv Bodnarchuk
If you're ever with a bunch of older curlers, say over 40, and if they're from west of Thunder Bay, just mention the name Merv Bodnarchuk and let the stories begin.
Merv has big dreams and he wanted to take curling to big places. Let's just sum up by saying he fell short—like, not over the hogline short.
When you get together a bunch of elite curlers, especially ones who competed in the Alberta and British Columbia bonspiel circuit in the 1990s, the Merv Bodnarchuk stories come out. Curlers then one-up each other with their best Merv stories. Some of the stories are too far-fetched to be believed, until someone verifies and vouches for them.
If you have a good Merv story, send it here. We will publish the best ones. We promise anonymity.
You can email us firstname.lastname@example.com
We know that there are a lot of great Merv stories out there.
The reason why Merv was on our mind was because of this column in Outside magazine. (Isn't it ironic that a magazine about outdoors pursuits has a column about an indoor sport like curling?).
Here's a link to the column. http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/sports/The-Coldest-Stone-Curlings-Most-Infamous-Madman.html
The column references the infamous longform piece by Guy Lawson that came out in 1999. It's a great piece of writing. http://longform.org/stories/merv-curls-lead
When you have some time, pour yourself some brandy, sit back and relax and read the stories about Merv's reign. Reminisce about Merv and send you're best Merv story to us. We know you have a good one. Bonus points if it involves a parking lot dustup.

Gamecredits Mining 60Gh-s: The Affluence Network – Rich, Richer
We would like to thank you for visiting us in search for "Gamecredits Mining 60Gh-s" online. The transactions of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use extremely complex technology for them to work. The notion is quite straightforward than you believe. The Blockchain allows two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two businesses in a platform understood It is certainly possible, but it must have the ability to comprehend opportunities regardless of marketplace behavior. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying 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 alright. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It should be difficult to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having little gains is more rewarding than trying to fight up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to have a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in currencies that never have made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.
Gamecredits Mining 60Gh-s: The Affluence Network – Making Your Dreams Reality
In the event of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it may even be traded as being a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies proclaim that type of virtual money isn't manipulated by way of a key bank system and it is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are a restricted number of items, this coinis importance is based on market forces, allowing homeowners to deal over cryptocurrency transactions. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the method in which it is transacted. All transactions on a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. When you're paid, you get paid. This is not anything temporary where your web visitors may dispute or desire a concessions, or use dishonest sleight of hand. Used, many dealers would be wise to make use of a fee processor, due to the irreversible nature of crypto-currency dealings, you should ensure that stability is challenging. With any type of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially get access to your private keys and so steal your cash. However, you most likely can never have it back. It's quite crucial for you yourself to embrace some great safe and sound routines when coping with any cryptocurrency. This will guard you from many of these damaging functions. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create 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 exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher chance of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, according to the number of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it's worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a steady stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the benefit. When searching on the web forGamecredits Mining 60Gh-s, there are many things to think about.

Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in money financing, it is a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these websites you might be required fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. It is possible to visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a reasonable investment strategy. Bitcoin is the chief 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 authorities, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more immune to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and privacy can readily be attained by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the price 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 amount of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is just not to imply that markets usually are not vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there exists no need for substantial sums of cash to move market prices up or down. The slightest events on the planet economy can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and support these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to get transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they get involved in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. If you are looking for Gamecredits Mining 60Gh-s, look no further than The Affluence Network.
Gamecredits Mining 60Gh-s: The Affluence Network: Built For Life
You've probably seen this many times where you frequently distribute the great word about crypto. "It's not unstable? What happens if the value failures? " So far, many POS programs delivers free conversion of fiat, relieving some matter, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, a lot of people will undoubtedly be reluctant to put up any. We need to find a method to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to understand how the process works in and of itself, but it's essentially crucial that you understand that there's a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Governments and banks can only choose to print endless amounts (I 'm not saying they're doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. A lot of people prefer to use a currency deflation, especially people who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary seclusion, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living pay check to pay check, it would happen included in your riches, with the remainder allowed for other currencies.

Very rarely do we carve out time for our character development. If you think about it, your time is consistently spent figuring out what you should do and who you should know.
What you do can be anything from going to class, going to work, or figuring out what your next step is after college. I'm not saying this is wrong. In fact, I think God wants us to find out what he wants us to do after we graduate.
We also spend time meeting new people or deepening relationships we currently have. We know relationships are important, whether it's our relationship with our family, a friend, or co-workers. Again, none of this is wrong.
But when it comes to where we invest our time, very rarely do we invest in ourselves.
We spend our time figuring out what to do and who we should know rather than investing in who we are.
If you prioritize what you do and who you know over who you are, you will never have the chance for God to work on your character.
We've all heard this to some degree: your character determines your success.
Here's what I mean. We can all name celebrities or athletes who made it to the top but eventually came crashing to the ground. Why? Because they prioritized what they did and who they knew over who they were—their characters.
So, would you be willing to carve out time in your schedule to set your "to do" and "to meet" lists aside and start developing your "to become" list?
If you will, your heavenly Father will meet you where you are and lead you to become the person he wants you to be.
"Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth." (NIV John 17:17)
