Matthew 22:41-46
Tough one, eh? (I had to get that Canadianism in someplace; perhaps a Norwegian Uffda might do, too.) In forty-five years of preaching, I likely ignored this passage more often than not—in favor of the preceding seven verses of the lectionary text. In this passage, Jesus uncharacteristically becomes the aggressor in questioning, and his logic may seem convoluted, at best. What is he saying?
He may have been contrasting his own messiahship with the then-prevalent concept of a Davidic messiah who would come to restore a political realm through military force by necessity, if not by preference. It's a concept that prevails to this day as nations seek to become dominant politically, militarily or economically. (Canada, being a middle-power, is, by default, somewhat immune to this seeking of domination, with one notable exception: hockey!)
Along came a different kind of messiah: One who, instead of inflicting suffering and death upon others, took that suffering upon himself and died with it, breaking the cycle of retribution. Then there can be new life—a resurrection. And there is. Thanks be to God.
Forgive us, O God, in our seeking to dominate one another, personally, in communities and as nations. Lead us to follow the messiahship of Jesus as he gave of himself unto death and was brought to a joyful resurrection. Amen.
Lanny KnutsonWinnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Master of Divinity , 1969
Matthew 22:41-46 (NRSV)
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them this question:
42 "What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "The son of David."
43 He said to them, "How is it then that David by the Spirit calls him Lord, saying,
44 "The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet" '?
45 If David thus calls him Lord, how can he be his son?"
46 No one was able to give him an answer, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

After Louis Maurer
American, 1832-1932
This harness racing scene features three horses, each drawing a high-wheeled sulky. The action of the foreground is enhanced by the diagonal placement of the drivers and the shadows of the horses as the teams race around the track. While no spectators of the race are included in the scene, six men look down from the judges' stand behind the horses.

Who wants to play Killing Floor with me.
A year ago from right now I was sitting with my ex eating pizza and watching Dance of the Dead.
No one pointed out my typo.
That's good because I would have blocked you.
I was just about to make a personal post, but then I remembered no one cares.
I felt the Lord begin
To peel off all my skin.
And I felt the weight within
Reveal the bigger mess that you can't fix.
I've tried uploading this video three times and the error page keeps popping up.
I know what my blog looks like.
I think my blog looks perfect now.

Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in brew bits, T.I., Tiny | Posted on 06-01-2011
Good news for Tiny (if there is anything good to come out of a charge). Her drug possession charges in Los Angeles have been dropped. The district attorney's office dismissed the charges today after Tiny completed a drug diversion program in Georgia. The charges stemmed from her September 2010 arrest, the same incident that gave her husband T.I. a one way trip back to the pokey.
Speaking of pokey… it wasn't a great weekend for Tip (well, that depends on how you look at it). He got shuttled to a special housing unit in prison after guards discovered he was getting a hand job from Tiny during visiting hours. Awww. Yay married love. (*ok, I got nothin' for that one*)

Clinton Railroad Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Albany Railroad Bridge Company)
|Clinton Railroad Bridge
|Double railroad track
|Mississippi River
|Clinton, Iowa, and Illinois
|Swing bridge
The Clinton Railroad Bridge, also called the Chicago and North Western Railroad Bridge or more simply the Clinton Bridge,[1] carries double tracked rail lines across the Mississippi River between Clinton, Iowa and Illinois. The bridge is a truss bridge with a swing span crossing the main river channel. It replaces other railroad bridges at this location that were built in the 19th century, one of which was declared a post route in 1870.[2] There are still piers from predecessor bridges next to the current bridge. Through its purchase of Chicago and North Western Railway in 1995, Union Pacific Railroad is the current owner of the bridge.

vreg - Register configuration utility
vreg --help vreg ...
Vreg has two major uses. The first vreg converts a HTML document (saved via Word, Framemaker, LyX, or Latex) to a vreg file. The second generates standard headers from the .html or from a .vregs file.
When the --html switch is used, vreg generates a .vregs file from a .html file. The file format is described in vregs_spec.doc or vregs_spec.htm.
When saving HTML, be sure to change both the filename to .htm and the file format to HTML. If inside Microsoft Word, exit.
When the --header switch is used, vreg reads a .vregs file and creates definition and class headers in the --output directory. Vreg can also create LaTex tables based on the register layouts.
With --change-error, use this program to determine if the error should be reported or not. The program should exit with non-zero status to raise an error.
Report error if file of the given language would change. Use ALL for all languages. This option may be given multiple times to specify multiple languages.
Don't write any output files, mearly report which files would change.
Displays this message and program version and exits.
Creates the header files and other files after the hardware.vregs file has changed.
Reads the specified filename and creates a .vregs file from the html.
Only include registers in output with a Product column matching that specified. See the vregs_spec document for more information.
Specifies a package to be used to resolve subclasses. The library package will only be read, not changed in any way.
Add minimal comment to the header files, to save disk space and time. Users of the file will have to then look at the .vregs file to determine what bits represent.
Specifies the directory name to be used for all output files.
Specifies the name of the package; used for creating all filenames.
Specifies a comment to be placed into output files describing to users how to rebuild the file.
When used with the --html switch, remove a directory named html_name_files. (This generally contains images written by Microsoft Word that are not needed.) Also, clean up the HTML file to compress out useless style tags that make the file less humanly readable.
Specify the name of the rules file. (See SystemC::Vregs::Rules.) Defaults to the out_directory/package__rules.pl.

Checked out the Mill Street tasting night at Salt tonight (thought I would throw in a beer night for the BF since he is constantly dragged out to wine events).
The night was capped off with their Coffee Porter paired with a chocolate terrine - amazing.
The one surprise was that they skimmed their tasting plates down to two cheeses and two meats rather than 3 & 2. With the new even matches we found that we did less mixing and matching… Which is the one thing we have loved doing at all their past events.
All in all, still a tasty night - capped off in time to see the Canucks win it in overtime!

On March 31, Surfer Blood frontman John Paul Pitts, 28, was arrested in Lake Worth, Florida for domestic battery, according to an offense report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. Public court documents confirm Pitts pleaded not guilty on May 4, before obtaining a "plea and pass" agreement on July 13.
If he complies fully with a program mandated by the court, his guilty plea and charges will be dismissed in April 2013. When contacted by Pitchfork, representatives for Pitts offered no comment.
According to the incident report from March, the victim in the case was Pitts' girlfriend of one year.

TOKYO -- Lukas Moodysson's "We Are the Best!," a dramedy about three 13-year-old girls who start a punk band in 1982 Stockholm, was awarded the Tokyo Sakura Grand Prix at the 26th Tokyo International Film Festival on Friday.
The Swedish director told the closing night crowd at the Toho Cinema Roppongi Hills theater that he had no expectations his picture would prevail. "It's not the kind of film that wins prizes," he explained. "I had planned to spend the night shopping for toys and having dinner" with wife Coco, on whose memoir the pic was based, and their young daughter.
Winner of the best acting prize was Chinese actor Wang Jingchun for his turn as a bulldog cop in Ning Ying's "To Live and Die in Ordos." The Philippines' Eugene Domingo took Best Actress honors for her work as a newbie barber in Jun Robles Lana's "Barber's Tales."
The fest's audience award was scooped by Lee Ju-hyoung's "Red Family" while the award for best artistic contribution went to Aaron Fernandez's "The Empty Hours."
Competition jury president Chen Kaige praised the fest for its professional organization and offered a final message of "baigaeshi" -- the catchphrase of the hit Japanese TV drama "Hanzawa Naoki" that means "pay you back double." The show's banker hero uses it as a threat, though the closing crowd took it as a good-natured gag.
In the new Japanese Cinema Splash section for local indie pics the Best Picture prize was awarded to Ayumi Sakamoto's "Forma," while the top prize in the Asian Future section for new Asian directors was given to Chinese director Yang Huilong's "Today and Tomorrow."
In addition to the Tokyo fest, which unspooled Oct. 17-25, the Japan Contents Showcase, including the TIFFCOM film and TV market, as well as markets devoted to music and cartoons, was held in the Grand Pacific Daiba Hotel Oct. 22-24. The total number of visitors to the three-day event was 22, 738, up 176 percent from last year, while the number of registered buyers rose 109 percent to 1, 074, with 525 from Japan and 549 from abroad.

"A man of gentleness, a man of strength, a man of integrity. He worked so damn hard and he covered the world seriously. Bradley was a complete reporter and a reporter's reporter."
After a tangential comment about how beautiful Bradley's mother was, Wallace continued: "He was a strong, dear, fine, hard-working, gentle, honorable, honest man…"

It was clean and cozy.
The bathroom wall had some water staining.
Clean room, good breakfast
Window facing a wall
Good location and friendly staff
Very old and too expensive considering what the hotel offers
The hotel is in a fantastic location with Union Square just at the top of the road. It's in a prime location for nice restaurants and bars and watching or catching the trams that go by. The staff in reception are very knowledgeable about the area and always willing to help. We had nice clean towels and the bed was big and comfortable. Breakfast is included in the price, nothing amazing, just cereal and toast but it set you up for a few hours, which was welcome. On the whole our experience was good and the price doesn't reflect the hotel it definitely reflects the prime location.
The room is tiny, we had a few cases with us and it was a struggle finding somewhere to put them without falling over them. We had a view of a brick wall, which was disappointing, but on the plus side we had a good nights sleep without any noise. There is no aircon, it has a room fan which is very noisy. It was very very warm of a night.
Room was very clean and fitting to my taste staff were good Nice breakfast
crowd of tourist, all scrambling for one small elevator...waiting time long especially when you got caught up on the day and time of their arrival
Helpful staff. Adequate breakfasts.Small but functional bedrooms. Excellent position near Union Square with good transport links round the city. The Staff provided both maps and advice as to how to get to the various tourist destinations.
One lift And like many hotels in San Francisco expensieve
On a noisy but very entertaining street. Spent half the night gazing at the street from the window. Perfect location for walking the city.
Very noisy and very hot room. Earplugs essential. No air conditioning and ceiling fan a comfort rather than a cooler. Can't imagine summer heat!
Location is simply excellent! We had a spacious room with two double beds (which is convenient because one double bed was two narrow for us both to sleep comfortably), friendly staff.
Breakfast was very minimal even for US standards, 1 slow elevator for all the floors/rooms.
Great location, very kind staff
Small rooms, poor breakfast
Location was great! Staff were extremely helpful & breakfast was nice. Good value for money considering the price
The room was very small & cramped, especially as we had two suitcases. It got very hot at night & there was no air con or fan, we had to open the window to keep cool & due to the location it was very noisy. A fridge would have been nice.
Staff very helpful and friendly Beds comfortable Great location for the sights Breakfast basic but good start to the day
Can be noisy as tram stop outside so ask for room at the back plus few yards from Union square.
Staff were friendly enough
Elevator only holds 5 people at a time. After trekking up the stairs to the 7th floor, key did not work. Total cost was $355 for one night. I was expecting a bit more for that price, room was small, breakfast was minimal.
It was clean, I could open a window. Proximity to union SQ
The cost was high, very minimal facility, toilet was leaking all night long, bed lamp was having trouble stay on.
There was no space to store clothing and toiletries. Also, heater was left on and no way to shut it off. Had to call front desk twice. Even then, it stayed hot for several hours. Had to sleep with window open with room facing Powell street. Very, very, noisy.
The room was nice, clean and bright on 8th with a view on bustling centre. Complimentary water was nice touch. Good comfortable bed.
When checking in - the lady was bit rude and made me feel not very welcome. The complimentary breakfast was very poor - had better selection and quality in cheaper motels. Strange selection of toiletries
Breakfast choices minimal
Friendly and helpfull staff. Very central, safe location close to Union Square, cable car stop and BART station. Continental breakfast included
Very slow lift.
Location superb; whithin a stone's throw of Union Square, right next to cable car and public transportation (BART, Muni) within 5 minutes walk. Rooms are clean and comfortable, but not spacious. This was no problem for us, since you're out to explore the city most of the day anyway. Staff is very friendly and helpful with tips for sightseeing, transportation and airport shuttles. Breakfast was ok, mostly cereals and pastry. Would definitely recommend for city trip purposes.
Nothing in particular. If you're looking for a very spacious room, look elsewhere.
Location was good!
Unit, Parking, Noise, Service, Lightning issue, Glass in shower and room....Total confusion with front desk. Check in was OK. Then went downhill from that point forward....
room was clean, service was great. breakfast was enough to get started for the day, for just needing the room to sleep we enjoyed it very much.location was a definate plus close to everything
everything was great
Very nice & accommodating staff. Excellent location. We would definitely stay there again...and refer family & friends. Great value!
It would have been nice to have shampoo & conditioner provided...but Walgreen's was across the street, so easy to pick some up. Window looking directly into another room, but hey, that's the architecture...not much to be done about that!
Great location to union square
Cramped, tiny room. Staff all good except asian night female staff-rude!
Location, location, location!!! We stayed here once last year and twice this summer. Wonderful staff; great accomodations; clean, fresh smelling rooms, good breakfast.
Elevator a little slow and would have liked a hard boiled egg with breakfast.
- Location. it is in walking distance of the Moscone Center and short cab rides to most other locations. - The WiFi connection was reasonably fast. - The hotel itself was clean and well maintained.
I travel mostly for business purposes and what I look for in a hotel are: a usable desk, comfortable bed, a good WiFi connection, and comfortable sleeping conditions. This hotel offered only one of the above (WiFi). The desk is SMALL (width of a small night stand) and not usable for work (I had to use my bed to work on). The bed itself was very hard and the pillows did not give. Because of the hotel location the window faces a brick wall ~2 feet away and does not open more than 2 inches. Couple this with the lack of air conditioning and the room becomes very stuffy, even when the ceiling fan is on. Also, because of the location (Powell just south of Union Square) it gets a lot of loud street/pedestrian noise at all hours. This all makes for a very bad sleeping experience. I have stayed at other hotels in the area (even one block away from this), and am shocked at how much more $20 - 30 a night can get you. I guess if I had been a tourist and was doing touristy things this would have been an OK spot. However, I cannot recommend it at all for business travel as it lacks many of the amenities needed for most business travelers.
The location couldn't have been better...right on Union square with the tram running straight outside the hotel and the hop on, hop off bus right round the corner.
Bed was hard, lift extremely slow and no safe in the room. Short on breakfast, especially on our last day and we were always early.

Yoshimura Steps Up Supercross Support
2011 AMA Supercross & Motocross
Yoshimura R&D of America is proud to announce their continued support of the 2011 Honda Racing and Rockstar Makita Suzuki supercross and motocross teams in their campaigns in the 2011 AMA Supercross and Motocross championships.
Yoshimura RS-4: Suzuki, Yamaha, KTM
2011 Off-Road Motorcycle Exhaust
The Yoshimura RS-4 muffler was developed in conjunction with the Rockstar Makita Suzuki Yoshimura race team with one purpose in mind: winning championships.
Buell Motorcycle Company | History
Buell History
The first motorcycle Erik Buell designed and built under his company name 'Pittsburgh Performance Products,' was the RW750 in 1983. This 750cc, two-stroke, "square-four," rotary valve racing machine was designed specifically to compete in the AMA Formula One road racing class. The first prototype RW750 hit the track for its debut that same summer in the AMA National at Pocono Speedway.
2010 Beta RS Supermoto Models | Previews
Supermoto & Dual-Sport
Beta is continuing to invest in the dual-sport and Supermoto markets by offering a duo of 450 and 525cc RS models that are street-legal in all 50 states. For 2010, the Beta RS and RS-Supermoto motorcycles feature proven powerplants, lower seat heights, plusher suspension and the availability of more than 60 accessories for hard-core, long-distance dual-sporters and Supermoto riders.
2010 Aprilia RSV4 Max Biaggi | Motorcycle Replicas
Three Biaggi Replicas
In just two decades Aprilia has become a motorcycle racing force: 33 world championships and 267 GP wins in the 125 and 250 classes – the youngest and most dynamic Moto GP categories – make Aprilia Italy's most successful brand in existence. And, with this year's return to the Superbike World Championship (in which the marque notched up 8 wins, 8 pole positions and 26 podium placings from 1999 to 2002), Aprilia is once again a force to be reckoned with in the large capacity, production-derived racing bike class.
2008 Beta 450 RS | Review
Italian with Austrian Power
Versatility and flexibility are virtues never to be under-estimated. In a world of fragmented off-road riding opportunities, the high-performance dual-sport machine has become the necessary alternative to obsolescing dirt-only motorcycles.

Welcome to Motor City Bengals, the Detroit Tigers news and opinions site brought to you by the FanSided Network. Motor City Bengals is dedicated to providing top-notch Tigers news, views and original content. This site also serves as a community for like-minded fans to come together to catch up on the latest news and to discuss their passion.
Matt Pelc is a life-long supporter of Detroit and Michigan sports, particularly the Detroit Tigers and Lions. His love for the Tigers began at an early age. The first game he attended in person was the lone winning game of the 1987 ALCS. When it became clear that his dream of being the heir apparent to his boyhood hero, Alan Trammell, and donning the Olde English D for a living did not mesh with his athletic talents (or lack thereof), Matt's dream morphed into one day becoming the beat writer for the team. He is an editor for Motor City Bengals, contributes to SideLion Report, and is a guest blogger for the Detroit Free Press and Huffington Post. Matt resides in St. Cloud, Fla.
Josie Parnell is an avid fan of the Detroit Tigers and Michigan State Spartans. Born and raised in the Downriver/Metro Detroit area, she spent much time during her formative years at Tiger Stadium and developed a serious baseball addiction and a deep love for Tigers' baseball in particular. Attending Michigan State University from 2000-2004, she became a Spartan for life. Josie still misses her favorite pet fish, Heinie Manush, and is beyond thrilled to be the first female voice for the Motor City Bengals. Though she currently resides in the Sunshine State, her heart is, and always will be, in Detroit.
Josh Scramlin has loved the Tigers ever since he was five years old and his love for the team is one that will never die. Though, at times, Rod Allen's unbearable remarks during Tigers telecasts make him want to drop the game of baseball entirely. Besides baseball he enjoys Seinfeld, Billy Joel, and Applebee's . His passion for baseball and his love for writing led him to Motor City Bengals. Josh currently attends Central Michigan University and is majoring in broadcasting.
Tom is an avid Detroit sports fan. He currently attends Hope College where he is a pre-medical student. While he isn't buried in books, Tom works in sports radio and as a hockey broadcaster. Born in 1993, Tom dosn't have memories of 1968 or 1984 and only brief memories of Tigers Stadium. His first (and last) season holding a partial season ticket holder was 2003 and we know how that season went. He is currently on a journey with his dad to visit all 30 Major League Ballparks.
I am a Tigers fan out here in sunny Southern California. I have proudly sported the Old English D since I was a little dude. Through the many ups and downs over the years, following the Tigers has been a great passion of mine. I am extremely proud to call myself a fan of the Detroit Tigers!

I can't imagine life without you. But that's what is ruining our relationship. I don't know if i should just change my ways. But i already did that and it didn't work. Everything i do is wrong and when i try to change, you don't even care you always assume that i'd just repeat what i did before i even do anything. So, why change?
Gosh i can't sleep. I've been trying to sleep for an hour now but i still can't stupid cough won't let me sleep :(
He's been a spoiled brat recently. I don't know why but it feels like he is abusing me and he is not even aware of it. I'm tired. So tired and it makes me want to end it.

Season 3, Episode 2 of "Experts at Nothing" titled "She Ends Up Saying No And They Never Talk Again"…or just "Experts: Valentine's Day" works too.
By Justin Sadegh
Published by The Review
Dedicated to Becka Simon, I told you I'd make you one eventually.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone, the following is a list of ways you could make the holiday special:
1.) Haven't bought your loved one a gift yet? Laminate this copy of "Experts" and give it to them with a card.
2.) Cook your loved one dinner and as they eat, read them every issue of "Experts" in your most sensual voice.
3.) Buy your loved one chocolate, eat it all, and replace it with crumpled up copies of "Experts at Nothing". Chocolate lasts a second, but "Experts" lasts several seconds and can be read again in the future.
4.) Skip dinner and chocolate and just eat your copy of "Experts". This is the pica alternative to Valentine's Day.
5.) Sit down with your significant other and color in your copy of "Experts". Everybody loves coloring.
6.) Don't have anyone to spend the holiday with? Just do everything mentioned above…but alone.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this weeks comic. Pass it on to a friend and keep an eye out for next weeks!

Are you trying to quit smoking before your breast augmentation?
- 2 years ago
Let's check in here and support each other! Have you quit yet? If so, how many days/weeks have you been cigarette free? And when is your surgery?
Good luck, ladies. You can do this!

Hard hard hard. I cut back to 1-2 a day but I am 9 days away! It hasn't seemed real but all the sudden its hitting me and I'm freaking out! I got rid of them, I need prayers please! I am so worried I have done something horrible... This whole "dream" has become reality and I feel as though I didn't take it seriously enough... Someone tell me I'll be OK!!!
Good luck. It's hard I know. I had smoked cigarettes since 1993 and went cold turkey a year ago March 5th. I knew I had to just stop and even did so with a brand new pack in my purse. You can do it!!
Try switching to an E cigarette. My doctor told me that although he doesn't condone nicotine use pre or post breast aug, a low level of nicotine during an implant only procedure would be less likely to cause problems while real cigarettes definitely need to be avoided. Check out South Beach Smoke online, they have reasonably priced E-cigs with nicotine free cartridges and lots of variety! I've used their products for years and I can breathe, I don't have chronic bronchitis or fatigue, and so far no significant problems have occurred from using them during surgery. :)

Winchester police seek man who entered West Bond Street home
Winchester police are looking for an intoxicated man who entered a home on West Bond Street early Wednesday morning.
According to a press release, the man entered the home at 12:50 a.m. Wednesday and was confronted by a resident.
According to the press release, "the resident, who was awake at the time, began to yell at the suspect and a physical altercation ensued. The resident's son heard the struggle and tried to intervene by chasing the male out of the residence. Her son restrained the male outside of the residence until the suspect stated he had a gun. At that time, he released the suspect. The suspect was last seen fleeing on foot towards Loudoun Street. A K-9 track was attempted which had negative results. No one was injured during the incident."
The suspect is described as a black male, 20-30 years of age, 6'0, medium build, light complexion, facial stubble and wearing blue jeans and a gray jacket with black lining and fur around the hood.
Police say they are looking into the possibility that the suspect may have believed he was in a different residence. If you have information about this case, contact Crime Solvers at 540-722-5200 or Winchester police at 540-545-4704. Callers can remain anonymous.

How devices transform voting
Pieters, Wolter (2010) How devices transform voting. In: Innovating Government. Normative, policy and technological dimensions of modern government. Information Technology and Law Series, 20 . T.M.C. Asser Press, The Hague. ISBN 9789067047302
Restricted to UT campus only
|Several European countries have been involved in the implementation of electronic forms of voting in elections. This may include electronic voting machines at polling stations, Internet voting, or both. In the former, the registration and counting of the votes is done electronically, but authentication of the voter and the protection of the secrecy of the ballot still depend on traditional means. In the latter, voting is done remotely from any computer, and the polling station is abolished as protective space.
To allow observation of the elections (Vollan, 2006), it is deemed essential that the voting procedure be verifiable. From a technical perspective, the combination of voter anonymity and verifiability is challenging. However, even if a satisfactory technical solution were found, electronic forms of voting challenge the democratic process in other ways. Whereas technology once had the reputation of contributing to explicit goals in an instrumental way, philosophers have now realised that it also changes our experience and existence in ways that had not been intended. Moreover, many requirements of procedures to be automated are implicit, and the automated versions may thereby "act" differently.
In this contribution, we analyse how electronic voting shapes democratic forms of voting from the perspective of technological mediation. First of all, we introduce the requirements that are generally accepted to apply to the voting process. We then zoom in on the history of electronic voting in the Netherlands, explain how the country finally abolished electronic voting, and recast the problems encountered in terms of implicit requirements. We then generalise the notion of implicit requirements to include broader forms of changes in human experience and existence, by referring to the philosophical work on technological mediation. Applying this theory to electronic voting, especially Internet voting, we identify challenges that we need to face, should electronic voting come back on the political agenda.

What's the point of having this tumblr?/ Who are you hoping will see this?/ If she's gone, she's gone/ Unless she's there and you can't see what you have?/
No point; good point; might as well shut it down at this point./ Not sure anymore — it's hard to look back two years and reason with myself./
Alright, good effort. You invest too much thought into these anon Asks to be a rando, but that doesn't mean your probing is welcome. My response is that my eyes are front and forward, the people who I care about and love know so, and I'm happy with the way things have turned out.
I'll be deleting this soon enough, don't you worry.The Yahoo takeover did it no favors and I have no intention of continuing any kind of personal narrative through such a public and outdated medium.
Just edgy naiveté drowned in bad taste, that's all this is. That's all you should remember it being.
Why do you only submit questions anonymously?
My content is misogynistic?
Alright, hold up.
Yes, it objectifies women.
Even "sexist pig" might've hit the mark.
But misogynistic?
Calm yourself.
Please dial back on your Big Important Words.
Please (re-)educate yourself on these issues.
This blog has no philosophical or political agendas.
(None that are intentional or imposed, at least.)
That being said, I fully support feminism.
I am a progressive, open-minded straight male.
This blog, again, is not meant to reflect that.
In fact, it does a terrible job of doing so.
I am unaffiliated with these models.
I do not know their intent or inspiration.
I sincerely hope I am not disrespecting their art.
Now, the alternate interpretation.
I'm misogynistic?
Antagonism spoils the greatest truths.
In this case, I'm not quite sure what the truth was.
If you know me personally, I'd love to hear you out.
Let's talk over some coffee.
I'll buy, and I will happily let you scream at me.
If you don't: Why?
Swing and a miss.
Terrorists win.
Patriarchy wins.
Chrissakes, Tumblr, get a politically correct grip.
Are you as depressed as you seem?/ When will you realize that it's what's inside that counts?/ Do you have an inside?
At night, in solitude, without distractions, often./ When the people that I care about or receive attention from make similar realizations.*/ I try to keep myself permeable & transparent — at least to principles and truths — but outside dimmer switch, inside toggle switch.
*I am never the catalyst.
(Thanks for making me think.)
It'll probably be health issues.
It'll happen when it happens, yeah?
Way I see it…
Knowing glances at the speedometer.
Cloudy-eyed loss of friction.
Highway twisting around my body.
Two-wheel pavement intimacy.
Skid to completion.
Or, you know, surrounded by fam in an old folks' home.
When I walk into a room/
I do not light it up./
What are you really like?/ Is there no happiness in your eyes?/ Do you follow your own advice?/ Why try so hard?
Absent, tired, awkward, happy, alive./ Read previous./ I try./ If I* don't, I* die — physically, mentally, socially, spiritually, figuratively, etc.
I'll make it brief for myself.
I gave a lot of thanks.
Still giving.
I'm happy, now.
We're all still learning.
I've stopped numbering chances.
I breathe a little easier.
I bleed a little more.
I'm warmer to the important ones.
I'm colder about everything else.
People still act like people.
I still act my age.
I still act older.
I am somewhere in-between.
Everything was alright.
Everything is going to be alright.
Take care.
Be responsible.
Be merry.
To another nameless year.
Much love. Much, much love.

There's only so much to go around.

Windows 64 bit
Epson BX305FW printer failed to install on Windows 7 64
I have just installed an Epson BW305FW plus on my PC running Windows 7 64 bit. It doesn't work.
Although the printer window says the device is ready to run, when I try to print nothing comes to the printer queue, the ink levels are grey on the Printer Preferences, and if I try to run Status Manager from the printer software it says Communications Error.
I have tested the USB cable on another Epson printer wiuth a different compouter, and it's fine. The PC usb port is also fine. The printer port is virtual port USB0001. The printer works when installed on my other PCF, running XP. The printer also prints a test page when instructed from the printer keypad.
I didn't install the fax option for the printer, but otherwise the installation seemed normal. It seemed to update the driver as I installed.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Good one, Wallace. And good on Sista Monica. A Santa Cruz treasure for a long time now.
By WALLACE BAINE
If the doctors had been right, the Santa Cruz music community would today be marking the 10-year anniversary of Monica Parker's passing.
But the doctors were not right, and, as a result, the woman known
around the world as "Sista Monica" is still very much alive – in fact, she would argue, more alive than ever.
It was a decade ago now when Parker was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.
"The doctor said to me, 'I'm a big fan of yours, so this is a hard converation to have,'" said Parker who performs Saturday night at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center. "He told me, 'If the odds are one out of 25 million, you're the one. You have about three months.'"
A few surgeries and many radiation treatments later, she beat the odds, and today is cancer free.
That kind of experience does a number on a person, and Parker says that not only is she a different woman today because of it, but her survival depended on the kind of life she led before the diagnosis.
"When I look back 10 years later, it was a combination of a lot of different things that brought me through that, being raised singing gospel music in the church by a grandfather who was a Baptist preacher, and by a mother with a strong constitution . It was also my military background that gave me the intestinal fortitude to stick through the whole experience, and my walk with faith."
As a performer, Parker was at the time of her diagnosis on the way to a high-profile career as a blues and gospel singer, touring regularly throughout the U.S. and Europe. Two years of treatment and healing resulted in her 2005 album "You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down," and suddenly a different Sista Monica had emerged.
"I'm more of a truth seeker now," she said. "I like to resonate to what's more true for me in my music. And I probably have a lot more urgency in my life. When you have to lay down for two years from doing what it is that you love, I was able to listen to the fact that I'm meant to be a singer."
Parker's latest performance is called "Acoustic Honey," and she says it's a departure from wild blues woman cut from the mold of Koko Taylor and Etta James that she was following before her diagnosis.
"I know how to be strong and sassy on stage and look out over a crowd of 10,- or 20,000 people. That's a very familiar road. What's not as familiar is being a little bit softer and more quiet."
The new show features jazz, blues, gospel and love songs, all done in a softer vein with her band featuring her long-time sideman and keyboardist "Danny B" Beconcini, bassist Ruth Davies, saxophonist Danny Sandoval and Leon Joyce Jr. mixing originals with beloved covers of such songs as "Imagine" and "What a Difference a Day Makes."
Parker had been surprised by the reaction of the "Acoustic Honey" show at a recent performance in Oakland.
"People were crying. And that's the part that I really don't like, because I'm sensitive too. And I kept saying to myself, 'What are they crying for? What did I say?' I think people were just genuinely touched by the intimacy and the closeness."
Good one, Wallace. And good on Sista Monica. A Santa Cruz treasure for a long time now.

Close to Nowhere
It's beginning to look a lot...
I have been asked (repeatedly, I might add) not to mention the fact that it will be Christmas in 56 days.
My oldest granddaughter is fussing at me because I have Josh Groban's Christmas CD playing in my car and as soon as I can find the rest of my Christmas CDs, they'll be playing also!
First, though, we have to have Halloween. Meredith and her friend Grace are going to be "undead," in Haunted (Harmon)town at the Northwest Side Civic Center -- right off Hwy. 310, about eight or so miles from Hwy. 7 South, Sat., Oct. 31, beginning, I think, at 6 or 7 p.m.
It's always a great haunted house! The civic club is made up mostly of members of the surrounding churches, and Becky Spencer from Free Springs UMC is a ringleader! And she's spectacular, even if she is my good friend!
Remy isn't actually participating, she's not much of a "crowd" person. However, she'll be drifting around the edges in her mother's old vampire cloak and a really tangled long, blonde wig. I might add that I told her not to take it out of the package before Halloween.
I guess my favorite holiday though would have to be Thanksgiving. I cook and sweat and slave and go bonkers for days. By the time I sit down at the table with all my family and often friends, I am too tired to eat.
There's just not much better than sacking out on the couch with all my family sacked out around me and taking a nap after dinner!
We often say we're going to take a walk after Thanksgiving dinner, but, to the best of my recollection, we never have. At least we do talk about it, though.
I often try to think of a "new" dish to try out on Thanksgiving Day. Heaven help me, if I succeed!
We have to have candied (or fried, depending on what you want to call them) sweet potatoes, green bean casserole to make my youngest brother totally happy, rolls, which I always burn, potato salad, deviled eggs for Remy and Dennis, canned cranberry sauce or Meredith would die, cornbread (with 'light' bread) dressing with giblet gravy and also turkey gravy that Pop made the recipe up for years ago and naturally, turkey.
I cannot deviate from this menu without severe repercussions!
One thing I never do is go Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving. I like to hang around the house with all my visiting family and eat turkey sandwiches and nap. It's a tradition that I love!
• According to my "countdown to Christmas" website — Thursday, Oct. 29 is 56 days 'til Christmas!
