Dear Jeremy,
Good luck with your preschool. I know you'll be sad at first because this will be your first time in school, ever. I know that accordingly to toddler calculus, change = bad.
But you're going to love LOVE school. You're such a gregarious little boy, full of curiosity and a love for life. There's a whole world of possibilities that await you at school. You'll make lots of friends and have wonderful teachers. You'll do arts and crafts and physical stuff. And you'll learn so much.
You're a big boy now. *sniff* Have a blast, and don't mind me if I'm a blubbering mess! Those are tears of joy.

This is such a good idea. Man, I can't imagine how difficult the first day of school is! My only son is only a year and I'm already dreading it.
Having said that, kids always do better than their parents at new things!

Dear Stanley,
Good luck in your new classroom tomorrow. I hope you make some new friends and have the chance to see some olds too. Watch out for CJ...this school is new to him.
Make sure to give Mrs. R a big wave when you see her tomorrow...she was a wonderful 1st & 2nd grade teacher for you. She 'got' who you were and appreciated your sense of humor.
Please remember to treat people with respect (classmates included).
Have fun using all your fresh new school supplies.
Don't work too hard...you have hockey practice tonight! Just kidding!
I know you'll be a great 3rd grader.
Have a wonderful day!
I love you,
PS...I'll write Libby's letter next week when she starts Preschool.

The Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse
Every now and then you get a lunar eclipse on the winter solstice. That's just the way the geometry of the Earth/Moon/Sun system works out. Lunar eclipses are a pretty and easy to observe phenomena.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun and passes through Earth's shadow. Lunar eclipses only happen when there is a full Moon. A lunar eclipse won't happen every time there is a full Moon since the Moon's orbit is inclined to the plane of the solar system…in other words, the Moon will usually pass wither above or below Earth's shadow. Every now and then, everything lines up and you get the lunar eclipse.
This eclipse is well positioned for observers in North America, but you have to stay up a bit late. The penumbral eclipse starts at 1:29am eastern time. The penumbral phase is usually not impressive as the Moon is passing through the outer part of Earth's shadow and changes very little (although I have noticed the color of the Moon change from white to a pale yellow during this phase of the eclipse). The ubmral phase starts at 1:32am EST. That's when you notice the dark part of Earth's shadow starts covering the Moon. At this point, it's obvious something is going on. Totality starts at 2:40am EST and mid-eclipse is at 3:16am EST. Totality ends at 3:53am EST and the partial phases end at 5:01am EST.
During the total phases of the eclipse, you can usually still see the Moon as a deep red or orange color. Sometimes it is fairly bright while others it almost disappears. How bright it appears depends on lots of factors including how close to the center of the shadow the Moon passes and how much particulate matter is in Earth's atmosphere. With recent volcanic eruptions, it might be a bit darker of an eclipse than usual, but there is only one way to find out!
No telescope is required to watch the eclipse. Binoculars and small telescopes provide good view. Now just have to stock up on Red Bull to stay awake (or coffee for you coffee drinkers!)

I noticed your comment over on the badastronomy site. I too have always been a little fascinated by the fact that earliest sunset happens in advance of the solstice. I like to say that I consider that that is when the days start getting "longer".

A peaceful protest against cannabis laws will be held in Rotorua this weekend, one of many being held around New Zealand.
Organisers of the National Day of Action - Stop the Arrests event are calling for an immediate moratorium on cannabis arrests, prosecutions and any ongoing investigations into this type of offending.
Local businessman Andrew Bell will host the Rotorua protest.
He said it would begin at the Village Green and, depending on the crowd, may march to the Rotorua Police Station.
"I have for much of my life been very conservative on the issue of cannabis and its use, however during a very painful and debilitating health episode I was given some cannabis to try.
"I was forced to relook at the cannabis issue and do further research. My conclusion shocked me.
"This plant has been ours to use for thousands of years and at no time has it ever caused the collapse of any society that used it, yet within the last 50 to 70 years we have been indoctrinated to believe it is a dangerous and harmful plant."
He said the action was not so much against police, as he believed they had a tough job.
He said he hoped to have some guest speakers who had been long-time activists in the
cannabis community.
Rotorua police area prevention manager Inspector Stuart Nightingale said police were aware of the protest.
"It looks like it's set to be a peaceful protest and everyone has a right to protest.
"We will just make sure everyone keeps the peace, but we don't anticipate it being a problematic protest."
WHAT: A peaceful protest for the legalisation of cannabis
WHERE: The Village Green
WHEN: Saturday September 17, 3pm to 7pm

"Don Darnutzer's lighting designs gave the production its sunny Spain, which was further realized by Ryan McGettigan's evocative set designs." - Theodore P. Mahne, NOLA.com
"Kudos also to scenic designer Ryan McGettigan for some of the most realistic-looking sets seen in recent opera productions in this city. The opening act, especially, created a genuine feeling of the streets of Seville, and the set for Lillas Pastia's tavern in Act 2 was equally atmospheric." - Dean M. Shapiro, New Orleans Advocate

Decon is a collaborative studio that fuses cultural savvy and branding expertise across production, creative, strategy, and music. Their old site told the story of a self-made brand, but it didn't highlight their world-class creative capabilities.
They came to Funkhaus for a mature refresh of their brand, seeking to create a site that could showcase premiere projects alongside cooler non-traditional work that will always be part of their DNA.
We designed and built a site that blends branded work with other, equally important, arms of their business, like Mass Appeal. We utilized an asymmetrical grid that houses a mix of thumb blocks and adjusts depending on the content – news, projects, directors, or photography. We also redid the traditional thumbnail tray to accordion in and out, utilizing mouse position to scroll rather than implementing arrows.

Top ex-oilfield executive says Gulf op a depopulation event. 100,000 now sick
Top ex-oilfield executive says Gulf op a depopulation event. 100,000 now sick – Examiner.com
Ex-oilfield executive of 25 years, now human rights defender Ian Crane stated Friday during Voice America "In Discussion" radio program that the Gulf of Mexico operation was a planned population reduction event. During the program, key Gulf advocates disclosed that over 100,000 Gulf people are already plague victims, hundreds of millions more will be impacted, and BP has paid enormous sums of money to keep Gulf activists from having a voice nationally.
The Gulf operation exhibits each hallmark of a contrived event and "will have long-lasting and far-reaching impact on lives of up to hundreds of millions of people" according to Crane. He had stated the same in July and since then, has given numerous Gulf catastrophe lectures to Europeans who seem keen to learn about the event than Americans.

Stuzzi: Come I'italia
Giving Brazil an Italian flair! The Stuzzi brand designed by Brazilian agency Agencia Yo wanted to do just that!
"The Stuzzi is a brand that aims to create an exquisite and genuinely Italian experience in Brazil. From this emphasis on ethnicity gastronomic, the idea is to enable and achieve an experience of a typical state of mind from the region through a careful selection of ingredients and ways of preparation.
From this premise, the brand building of Stuzzi began with the needs to understand the essential values of the company that resulted in the creation of a clear and unique positioning. Throughout of an entire planning of communication, we identified that it was necessary an organization of product lines, and even the creation of new lines, some of them still in design. After organized, new visual identities were created for each of these lines.
In "Cafeteria" line, for example, we sought elegance, sophistication and austerity. The objective was to evoke a sense of essentiality and strength, like the good coffees. Refined design with a restricted color palette and strong dramatic charge. Basic geometric shapes represent only the essential and the names in uppercase invoke a sense of full bodied coffee. In the case of Delicatessen line, the patterned background in tissue paper refers to the delicate and noble, complemented by subtle and sophisticated details. The brown block adhesive closure takes two brown pantone and one matte golden.
The branding job was even wider, contemplating, for example, the design of the uniforms of the employees plus a dress code with guidelines on hair, makeup, shoes, and so on.The Yo work involved inclusively the signaling of shops and a consultant in structuring of vegan products. In a scenery where the normal is often try to stand out by excess, the branding job of Yo for Stuzzi assumes a bias of essentiality in order that the subtleties of the brand and its products appear clearer."

BMW Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
I will provide an honest answer. I trust this will be appreciated. Please remember that a low rating PUNISHES me for being honest and that I receive nothing for my time until a positive rating is clicked.Thank you for your attention to the rating requirement.you will need to raise the vehicle to first check and make sure that the shifter or shift linkage is not binding up

A lot of people blindly follow what their insurance brokers say when they draw out a car insurance policy. Although most insurance brokers know what they are doing, car owners like you should not let these people make decisions on your behalf. Remember that it is your property and your safety that is at stake here so be sure to know what you are getting yourself into before you get an Austin car insurance policy.
Austin is part of Arkansas so the laws of this state apply to you. Arkansas is a 'tort state." Under its insurance laws, drivers who are at fault can be held responsible for any personal injuries and property damages they cause. To cover for possible damages resulting from road accidents, the state of Arkansas requires all drivers to get minimum bodily injury liability of $25,000 per person injured and a maximum coverage for bodily injury liability per accident is $50,000.00. When it comes to property damages, drivers are required by law to get the minimum coverage of $25,000.
Now, just because the law of your state only asks you to purchase this much car insurance, that does not mean that you should not get higher coverage. We all know that in a tort state, litigations usually follow an accident. When lawyers are involved in settling disputes, the amount of expenses can be tremendous. Since your insurance coverage is limited, there is a pretty big chance that you will need to shell out money from your own pockets to pay for expenses related to the accident. If you do not want to end up paying a lot of money from your own pockets, you better get higher car insurance coverage. Yes, higher car insurance coverage always comes with higher premium rates, but if you want to stay fully protected, it is necessary to make that extra investment.
Aside from getting the protection required by law, it is also wise to get optional coverage. If you drive a brand new car, get comprehensive coverage, collision coverage and gap insurance. Comprehensive coverage pays for the repairs and maintenance of your vehicle while the collision coverage takes care your car in case of accidents. As for gap insurance, this pays the balance between actual and estimated price of a car.
Do you need to get extra coverage for yourself? Yes, you should also get medical payments coverage to cover for your hospital bills in case you get injured during an accident. Remember that your bodily injury insurance pays for the hospital bills of the other driver and not you so you need to get your own coverage.

July 15th was a day of 2 anniversaries. It was our wedding anniversary, and it was the 25th anniversary that Gary has been on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. We didn't really do anything to 'celebrate' the 25th anniversary, but we did celebrate our wedding anniversary a typical Gary and Kim way-- cheap. :-)
We already knew that we were going to go into the city and attend a classical concert that was free. We figured that we would eat beforehand. A friend of ours, Jeong Lim, called the week before and invited us to her Hungarian restaurant for a meal. She started having a small Korean section on the menu and wanted us to come try it out. Her restaurant is one block from the church where the concert was, so we thought it would be ideal to eat with her before going to the concert. The last time we ate there we ate inside, so it was nice to be able to eat outside. The restaurant is by the Danube river, just across from the Parliament building. You can see some of the Parliament in the picture below (to the left of the tree that is behind us). I was so excited to have Korean food! Since I'm not at the school anymore, I don't have Korean students or parents giving me Gimbap, and I'm not there to take part when the Korean moms make lunch for the staff. I definitely miss that part of being at school. The food was really good, so I thought it was the perfect meal for our anniversary.
For those of you in Budapest reading this, I encourage you to go to the restaurant sometime. It's in a nice location (at Batthyany ter beside St. Anna church) and has reasonable prices (those who know us, know that I won't encourage an expensive restaurant). It's called Angelika.

I went to Bikeland to buy 4 packs of CarBoom! I plan to carry 2 packs for the marathon with 2 halves of bread slathered in natural peanut butter wrapped in saran wrap and 2 halves of fruity energy bar wrapped in saran wrap. I'll be carrying these in my short pockets. I hope to eat one every hour including one right before the start. These 6 snacks should last me for a planned 5 hour run. I'm not carrying any water or Gatorade as these will be available at the race.
I don't need a new pair of shoes but how can one resist when one is presented with a 15% discount and free shipping by email? So I bought a pair of Asics GT-2110, size 11 2E from Kelly's Running Warehouse. I've been going back and forth between buying my running stuff at Luke's Locker and this internet store.
Since I'm such an Asics fanatic, I guess I should have known this before. ASICS stands for: Anima Sana In Corpore Sano (A Sound Mind in a Sound Body). I'm just hoping for the sound body in me to carry me across the finish line this Sunday.

Happy Easter ALL!
A journey into a cavern of capitalism that is rarely explored.
The assessment of financial risk in society evolves. In this volume, one gets a guide to the inner working and evolution of Moody's, Fitch and Standard & Poors. Yet, it is vastly more than that.
As Associate Professor of International Political Economy at the University of Warwick, Sinclair's methodology and commentary are simply magnificent. With such a paucity of books authored on this subject, I searched and selected this volume. I am very glad I did.
The honesty that guides the author's analysis is refreshing:
"Rating, as it exists today, is not rocket science. It attempts to meld quantitative and qualitative variables that are not commensurate and therefore cannot be placed into an equation. It is crucial to understand this point for much of the commentary in the financial media passes over the inherent subjectivity of bond rating. Ratings are not deducible. They reflect the application of rules of thumb. What follows from this observation is that ratings are judgments – the realization that ratings are actually more contestable than they may appear." (emphasis is mine. p. 176).
In a society where quantitative modeling seems to lead to "leaving it to the experts" – the realization that subjectivity in risk assessment remains an all too often overlooked element within this reality. Sinclair's chapter on Blown Calls (and the footnotes therein) are tangible evidence of this fact.
The chapter entitled "Unconscious Power" was absolutely fascinating. The ever-increasing global power that these entities exercise over humanity is an awareness that did not go unnoticed by this reader.
This book is a gem, crafted by an incredibly capable and insightful scholar. Timothy J. Sinclair is a superb guide.
I HIGHLY recommend it.
Far too many financial histories inhabit the shelves and stacks that have one thing in common: an intellectual agenda in search of support. This work is a uniquely refreshing exception. It is a work that distinctly deserves the scholarly recognition it has received – from many, diverse audiences.
I enjoy reading in this subject area. This particular work was delicious for me for a myriad of reasons. Here are a few:
1. Linguistics – Lepler's appreciation for the words, terms and phrases people used to describe their life experience was precious to me. It is too often overlooked by other authors.
2. The sheer depth and breadth of Lepler's research was, to say the least, unique and vividly rewarding for her readers.
3. Lepler's appreciation for the impact of "culture" was quite apparent – again and again – enlightening.
4. AGAIN – Far too many authors who write financial histories seem to have a thesis that they attempt to validate via the introduction of a supporting narrative – such is the human penchant to "be right" and get at "the truth." Lepler's methodology and multi-dimensional approach to the issue of "many" panics was terribly refreshing.
5. It was a pleasure to read a financial history book that was authored by a bonafide historian vs. an economist or a political hack with an agenda. The author's objective dedication to her scholarly craft was apparent on every page.
6. The author's critiques of other works were, in my opinion, "spot on." I was grateful for the courage to say what she wrote.
7. I adored the characters brought to life. It made the book fascinating.
8. Lepler's appreciation for epistemology was apparent throughout.
9. The author's contributions from the "phrenology folks" were priceless.
10. Lepler's focus on the impact of communication (or lack thereof) between persons, media outlets of the day, groups and organizations (and governments) is a fundamentally important dimension of the author's contribution.
As Lepler states on page 253: "Even when economic events seem beyond the control of any individual, the shaping of their meaning remains within our grasp." – How marvelously this work remained true to this statement – in every sense of the phrase.
My edition of the "Many Panics" by Jessica M. Lepler is marked up like a child writing with crayon on a kitchen wall. This book is a treasure for me and I have learned to become a better researcher and story teller because of it. It is simply VERY rare to have the privilege to devour and digest such a magnificent work. I sincerely hope that Lepler's dedication to a tireless methodological approach for source documents will serve to inspire other historians and writers – and students – as this work inspired me. This work will occupy a prominent position in my personal library. I will refer to it quite often.
When you read this book you garner a vastly deeper appreciation for the terms scholar, historian, research and story teller. You also are blessed with a unique narrative regarding the history of America's financial disasters in the nineteenth century. I've done quite a bit of reading in this genre – and this book is a MUST READ.
This work has encouraged me to continue to "explore the places where maps have failed us…pushing along in the dark." (p. 254). Yet, the historical evolution of U.S. capitalism that this work recounts, illuminated the absence of pre-existing maps from which to plot the path ahead. However, this work also revealed for me that man, at every juncture, with his seemingly eternal penchant for wealth and power, and organization – emerged, and injected itself at every opportunity.
For me, this book distinctly reinforced the incontrovertible evidence inhabiting the historical record; when you combine man and money, the emergence of mayhem is a matter of fact. Although we currently live in a time where our culture suggests that we know most everything, can control our environments, and predetermine outcomes of socio-economic (and geo-political) policies – I remain a healthy skeptic…particularly as it relates to ALL things economic. Again, this volume is a reminder to me to remain sensitive to the alerts from my "crap detector" (attached to my forehead, swiveling in a 360, 24-7 – and – solar powered). The "smugness" that inhabits our intellectual, social, economic and political discourse today remains, in my opinion, one of our most profound, enduring weaknesses – as a species – particularly as folks continue to espouse rigidly militant "certainty" about issues; past, current and future. I, for one, appreciate those who possess a high regard for questions vs. those who attempt to cram answers down my throat…as the author's commentary at the end of the book, directed at his colleagues, elicited deeply appreciative smirks from this reader.
Yes, as some of the author's final remarks in this book indicate, I too have ongoing concerns about the unregulated and mysterious miasma of rogue waves of capital that seemingly slosh between the shores of our globe…outside the cognitive awareness of the ordinary citizen…capital without margin ("margins impose safety"… p. 251), incalculable leverage, incomprehensible risk, and a source of instability whose magnitude and morph I remain acutely concerned with…as inertia continues to thrust us into places where maps are under construction…pushing along in the dark.…to a yet, unknown destination. Yet, the human motivations remain seemingly unchanged.
This particular work is profoundly appreciated by this reader. Thank you so very much Mr. Reynolds.
