Iqbal.. the movie i saw in the weekend.
Anyway, I guess I`m rather moving away... Talking about the movie, the story is quite a simple story of how a determined mute and dumb youngster(Shreyas Talpade) makes it the Indian Cricket Team, by his sheer practice and with the help of his unconventional coach (Naseerudin Shah), one of the finest actors i have seen.
But as I told you, while watching the movie, there were two moments when my eyes were filled with tears... One of them, was when the boy Iqbal refuses to take a gift from a relative, on seeing which the little sister(portrayed brilliantly by Shweta Prasad.. I just love this little girl.. ) also follows suit. Iqbal, then sits with his sister for sometime. He then motions her to go accept her gift. She hugs him happily.. The little sacrifices, we make and how much we value other`s emotions...!!! I was over awed...
The second scene was when Iqbal gets dismissed from the cricket academy for breaking, a boy`s head, the way the little sister comes home and hugs her mother.
How much we suffer for other`s tribulations and sufferings. How these moments define, that loved ones are not others. They are all part and parcel of us..
With all gratitude to Nagesh Kukunoor, for making this film, I did not feel interested in Cricket, one bit, but this film has lent me a new insight into the world of human emotions and pure love. I guess i must be missing my own sister, but I am leaving tonight to Chennai, my home. So no Complaints.!!!!

Rain.. Pleasure or Pain.!!!
Ever since my childhood, I have admired rain, with lots of pleasant memories, and the pure joy of eating fresh hot bajjis with filter coffee during the heavily raining monsoon in Chennai used to be a wondrous experience.
Rain is always welcomed, with joy, by all the fauna and flora, peacocks dance with joy, in a brilliant show all their colours..
Children jumping over the puddles and putting their craft skills at their best in making those tiny paper boats which are then proudly set to sail in these small oceans..
In the villages, famine hit and strife torn, rain is like a marvellous blessing from Lord Indra, accepted with great content hearts, by the farmers and other souls.. The song.. "Ghanan Ghanan" in Lagaan truly inspired by the great joy of the coming rain.
But Today rain is not really a blessing. In today`s cities, amidst all those huge skyscrapers and man-made dwellings. Rain spells Pain..
The number of houses flooded, the number of lives lost, the number of vehicles submerged, the number of drains left open, under the floods.Today rain is dreaded everywhere, and now while newspapers flash stories, of Bangalore, the Silicon Hub of India being flooded in water, people dissent rain and curse it..
But of course god never created rain, for it to fall on buildings, vehicles etc. When God created rivers, he never envisioned dams.. or if he did know of this kind of a future.. He has just assumed I guess, that Man will finally let better sense prevail over him.
Rain, I still love you a lot.. Little Johnny still wants to play.. though little johnny now works in some software firm which may get flooded today or tomorrow, and little johnny`s work may get hindered, but lets` just hope rain reminds little johnny to play.

Law and Poetry..
Law.. It is such an entangled web for so many of us ignorant people.. and believe me i am as ignorant as any of you.
But the closest, I have got to really feeling Law and it`s impact on Society was after reading John Grisham`s Books..
So I devote this post to two authors who have ruled my mind space a lot..John Grisham( for Law) and who else but Rabindranath Tagore( for poetry).
No!, John Grisham does not actually write legal textbooks, but he churns out brilliantly written stories, which are all based on lawsuits, and most of them were page-turners for me. In fact after reading "The RainMaker", I even actually considered taking up law as a career. Such was the interest he generated.
Apart from Law, another interesting thing about his writing has been that, he also provides a good insight into American culture and thought process of the people across that part of the globe.
But when talking about culture, people, and living.. I would be committing a grave sin, if I were not to talk about Rabindranath Tagore, a great poet and lots of other things, which he added to his profile during his illustrious life.
Tagore, wasn`t just a short story writer. He was primarily a poet, and the passion for poetry, is evident even in his simple short stories of the Land of Bengal and its people.
I myself have passion for poetry and have tried my hand at the same. But Tagore remains the zenith of poetic and lyrical impressions on prose.
His ability to give brilliant insight into ordinary emotions we feel everyday, has always been mindblowing...
There is a lot of difference between these two people, and their writing..
But their common stand here, is because both of them have helped and affected me a lot in the way I see life, the way I see people and the way I look at literature and poetry..
Shall be coming soon, with more on my mind.. Wow! I really feel proud now, when I look at my blog.

From Jungles to Ice...
I am a great fan of Rudyard Kipling.. but something interesting is that.. I have not read any of his books..
I have seen disney`s interpretation of "The Jungle Book" though.. The story in it`s essence itself has a lot for all of us humans to learn..
It`s a very fascinating story of how a child is brought up by a pack of wolves, a bear and a black panther.. That much said.. it is also an endearing story of how.... life is in the jungle.. along with how animals coexist beautifully with nature.. all told in a brilliantly captivating way.
But my intention here was not to just give a review of this story.. I wanted to strike a point here that... man by himself has achieved and over achieved technologically and culturally.. but has never been satisfied with what nature provides.. He/She has never been happy to survive with whatever little solace.. nature provided.. And of course if that had happened, I wouldn`t be sitting and blogging today.. BUT..
With all these technological advancements, man has left nature behind..
To put things in simpler terms..
Though he is still fascinated by it!!, He is no more in love with it..
Here I have for a rather very funny incident which happened while I was touring along the south pole..
There is a rule among penguins that.. no one should ever overtake the leader.. And that seems true..
It goes out to show that even these beautiful creations of God, sometimes have humane reactions..
The part about me touring the South pole, was just my imagination running too far way.. but these things again happen in a blog I guess :-)

Keeping ahead of change...
Where ever you go.. you see people changing.. Nothing is permanent in life..
Not even the mentality of any one person.. not even his/her viewpoint...
Of course there is nothing wrong with that..
But, when we see that some one has lost all his talents, or all his ideologies.. when we see that someone gives no more worth for their past.. we are obviously pained
Look at the ruins in Hampi, for instance. Jackie Chan travels all the way from Hong Kong, in total awe of the great civilization which existed here, and all we even talk about is Mallika Sherawat acting with him. No!. I dont have anything against her personally..
The temple( in pic ) above shows a serene temple as it is in Kerala. Thatz one thing I`ve admired and adored about kerala. The serenity and calm maintained and the importance given to culture. Of course the people have been afflicted to lots of changes, political and social, and on a large scale human values have receeded, yet there are few things, which we need to appreciate.
Today, how many people actually read books, for instance. I myself wouldn`t if I had a television, in my home right now. Not necessarily those huge bragging books for self development... No!! One ultimately needs much of will power and commitment to rise to the top. I am talking about stories, fiction.. or poetry or books on history or culture or of civilizations..
I guess.. that should do for now... Well lets keep something for the next blog.

Worldly Matters...
Life just keeps moving..
And my life just moved on.. after that I dont want to spend much time on details..
I wanted to write about my entire life..
But I guess that isn`t practical... so letz get on.. with more serious issues..
If you want to know my details.. please check out my website..
I am currently stranded here in 2005. Looking at earthquakes, violence and
what not.. Life has changed a lot.. The Human race has also become more conscious of
their animal-like existence..
But a thinker there and a philosopher here, lend support that.. Homo sapiens are still
marching on ahead.. Jus hope technological advancements dont hinder this thinking process.
Everyone cant really be a budha in these days, because everyone is so immune to suffering
and hardship.. that no one can really have a fresh perspective on life..
When budha saw a beggar, he understood what poverty is..
When he saw a funeral, he understood death
When he saw a leper, he understood disease..
Today is the age of test tube babies and stem cell research, with cloning giggling out there
in the near future..
Will such thoughts ever be prevalent today..
No!! I am not an aethist.. I believe in God..
And there is nothing wrong in posing these questions to Lord Almighty himself..
Believe me... He Answers...

Tell your Senators to support these vital amendments to create a healthy, sustainable Farm Bill!
Take action today to stop agribusiness lobbyists from giving away billions in federal subsidies to the agribusiness lobby.
Urgent Calls needed - Senate floor vote only hours away!
If you were appalled last fall when Congressional leaders worked behind closed doors with agribusiness lobbyists to craft a Secret Farm Bill and then disgusted this spring when the discovery of government subsidies paying for Pink Slime fed to our nation's school children went viral, you should be outraged over the current debate unfolding in Washington, DC over the 2012 Food and Farm Bill.
In a matter of a few hours the Senate will begin voting on vital amendments to the Food and Farm Bill, also known as Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2012. As it stands now, the bill needlessly cuts vital nutrition and conservation programs and provides a massive boondoggle for crop insurance companies that will cost taxpayers billions of dollars every year, while putting our environment at risk.
It's vital that we tell our Senators that we need a Farm Bill that works for the American people, family farmers and the environment and not corporate agribusiness and insurance companies. Urgent calls are needed to make sure that we have a farm bill that promotes healthy, sustainable food.
Click here to tell your Senator to stand up for America's farmers and the environment!
A recent analysis of the federal crop insurance payments found that 26 farming operations received over $1 million or more last year alone. With one Minnesota corn and soybean farm receiving more than $1.7 million in federal crop insurance subsidies.
As it is currently written, the expanded insurance program in the Farm Bill will make it profitable for farmers to plant on the most marginal, highly erodible land, while requiring no conservation measure to be followed when a farmer receives government insurance subsidies.
Click here to make a call today to make sure that 2012 Food and Farm Bill protects farmers, eaters and the environment. We need your help today!
The 2012 Food and Farm Bill should be about creating health food for America's citizens, providing safety nets for family farmers and protecting our soil, land and environment for the future, not larding agribusiness and corporate lobbyists with billions in government handouts.
Here are a list of the amendments that Food Democracy Now! and our allies for a healthy, sustainable food system are supporting today, please make sure that your Senators hear about your support for them today! Please call your own Senators today and tell them that you support these amendments:
- Gillibrand Amendment No. 2156 Restores funding for vital nutrition programs and limits excessive payments to crop insurance companies.
- Chambliss Amendment No. 2438. Links the receipt of federally subsidized crop insurance to basic conservation requirements.
- Durbin-Coburn Amendment No. 2439 Limits the amount of insurance subsidies for the wealthiest farmers.
- Merkley Amendment No. 2382 Creates an organic crop insurance program that offers organic farmers.
- Sanders Amendment No. 2310 Allows states to label genetically engineered foods.
- Brown Amendment No. 2445 Provides mandatory funding for Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development.
Thanks for participating in food democracy,
Dave, Lisa and the Food Democracy Now! team

Earlier, This blog post was supposed to explain how QTP identifies the objects but when, for curiosity, I typed in Google, I found 352 and more sites explaining the same. Some of them are so good that I didn't find it useful to explain the same thing once again. It seems everybody knows how QTP identifies the objects. Still, if you have any concerned question, let me know by posting your questions in comment section.
So, when the initial idea was dropped, I thought to put a challenge on Object Identification by QTP. The challenge is very simple or at least it seems very simple but none of the QTP engineers I know could tell me the correct answer. This might be due to multiple reasons like:
- They were too busy with their other daily work challenges
- They didn't find the challenge interesting enough
- They didn't want to spend time on something irrelevant of their daily work
- They didn't have tendency to explore about the new things
- They didn't have enough courage to take the challenges
- etc.
If anyone of you have one of the same reasons, this post is not for you. You can leave the post here and can continue working on something else. Rest of you, please continue with the challenge given below.
Their is a login page which have two fields: Login and Password. I have made some small changes in the code so that both objects have the same properties. Once, it is done I have added both these objects in the object repository and set the same properties for both of them. Now, the situation is:
- Both of the objects have the same properties (except Logical Name which is not required for object identification)
- Ordinal Identifier is set to none
- Smart Identification is also disabled
Now, when I highlight, the QTP identifies the object correctly. The question here is how QTP is recognizing the objects correctly when every property of the two objects are same. Shouldn't QTP display an error of existing of more than one object with same properties.
Download the Login Page and Object Repository for the reference.
Let me and others know if you have the answer or Please explore if you want to find out the answer yourself otherwise wait till someone post the correct answer. Please post your questions and answers as comments to this post.

Big K.R.I.T. Debuts 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' Video
Big K.R.I.T.'s 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' video pushes the artistic envelope, providing a parallel interpretation of the introspective track.
The effort shows a teenage K.R.I.T growing up in Mississippi, facing his growing pains from his 'first time,' to falling off his bike as well as his baseball playing days.
All the while, the words from his 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' track guide him through those mishaps. K.R.I.T. himself plays an omniscient figure, who pans through a flipbook while he narrates.
This video complements the tale detailed in track, featured on his debut album, 'Live From The Underground.'

Contract, Whether a Construction or Manufacturing Contract, was Required to be Reported on Percentage of Completion Basis
While most practitioners likely think of the tax percentage of completion method of accounting as something only affecting construction contractors, in fact such provisions can impact other types of contracts under certain conditions. In the case of Basic Engineering, Inc. v. Commissioner, TC Memo 2017-26 the key issue was whether the contract the taxpayer had was really not a construction contract and, if not, whether it would still be required to be accounted for under the percentage of completion method of accounting for tax purposes.
The case involved two contracts where the taxpayer was hired to assist in constructing refineries. In each case the taxpayer was hired to help in removing and refurbishing equipment in a refinery in the United States, transporting the equipment to a distant location (Bulgaria in one case, Pakistan in another), installing the equipment in new refinery and, finally, testing the equipment to get it certified to be used in production.
The Internal Revenue Code taxes long-term contracts pursuant to IRC §460 and normally requires the use of the percentage of completion method of accounting to record income over the term of the contract. A long-term contract is defined as one where work begins in one tax year but ends in a later tax year.
There are two potentially applicable exceptions to the requirement to use the percentage of completion method of accounting.
- Manufacturing contracts are exempt unless the contract involves the manufacture of:
- Any unique item of a type not normally included in the finished goods inventory of the taxpayer or
- Any item which normally requires more than 12 months to complete
- Certain construction contracts are exempted if:
- The taxpayer estimates, at the time the contract is entered into, that the contract will take less than 2 years to complete and
- The taxpayer's average annual gross receipts for the three years before the contract is entered into do not exceed $10 million
The taxpayer argued initially that this was a manufacturing contract rather than a construction contract—they had primarily been engage to refurbish the refinery equipment which the taxpayer argued was a manufacturing activity.
The Tax Court, however, found that if the contract was viewed as a manufacturing contract it would fail the 12 month test, noting:
At issue are two contracts -- each for the disassembly, transportation, refurbishing, assembly, and certification of a new oil refinery. Petitioner introduced sufficient evidence, corroborated by the testimony of Mr. Balke, showing that the processes involved normally require more than 12 calendar months to complete. Respondent's expert, Mr. Harris, agreed, stating that the assembly process alone "could hardly be expected in less than one year." Assuming without finding that these contracts are for the manufacture of two oil refineries, each would fall under the section 460(f)(2)(B) requirement that it be treated as a long-term contract under section 460 and thus generally accounted for using the percentage of completion method of accounting.
Since the taxpayer's average annual gross receipts were less than $10 million for the three prior years the Court did consider whether, if they were construction contracts, they could qualify for the exception for those contracts. That would require that the taxpayer could show that it reasonably estimated the contracts would be completed within 24 months from the date the contract was entered into.
The Court found that the evidence indicated that the taxpayers could not show that reasonable estimate. The Court, taking the testimony the experts, found that the projects could not be completed within that time frame. While it is possible the equipment could be refurbished within that time frame, the Court noted that the taxpayer's obligations did not end at that time.
Once the refurbishment was completed, the equipment had to be transported to Bulgaria in one case and Pakistan in the other. The simple shipping of the equipment to the new refinery location would take many months, along with the assembly process and then an extended testing/certification period. The Court found that the math simply didn't work to make it feasible to have assumed these projects could have been completed within 2 years.
The Court also imposed the 20% accuracy related penalty for substantial understatement of tax on the taxpayer in this case, declining to agree with the taxpayer that it had reasonable cause for its reporting. The taxpayer noted that this was a complex area of tax law—a statement that certainly appears reasonable.
The taxpayer argued that it had relied upon the CPA who had prepared the returns for the year in question. But the taxpayer could not show that it had relied on the CPA's advice with regard to the use of a proper method for reporting such contracts.
As the opinion notes:
Petitioner used the services of the same CPA from at least 2005 through 2010. However, the only evidence of petitioner's reliance upon professional advice rendered by its CPA is the fact that its Federal income tax returns were filed. Nothing in the record indicates that petitioner either requested of or received from its CPA advice regarding the application of the long-term contract exception under section 460(e) to the Petromaxx or Amber SPAs. Based on the absence of evidence indicating that petitioner even addressed this issue with its CPA, the Court cannot find that it exercised ordinary business care and prudence here.

Spring Comes to Our Side of the Mountain...
13 comments:
I think we all look forward to getting a bit of spring fever, although some get it worst than others! After being 'cooped up' all winter, it's soo nice to see color, to watch the animals return and start nesting and getting ready for their new family. You keep ahold of that spring fever with all your might, you deserve it. Your little miss is shaping up nicely and she will be there for you when you and Millie have slowed down romping in the woods. Have fun...ReplyDelete
"Spring is coming fast to our side of the mountain."ReplyDelete
Oh I love that sentence!!!!! We live where there are hills and ups and downs. Not far from the foothills of the very, very old Adirondack Mts. I have always lived here, and can't imagine living in a f-l-a-t place, without mountains! :-)))
Lovely photos... Lovely doll.... But I can see why you are not having peace-to-work-on-her this week. -smile- With kids around.
And just let the Siren Call of Spring, work its magic on you!!! It doesn't last long. Enjoy it, while it does. -smile-
Luna Crone
I just dearly LOVE the way you write, and you live in such a beautiful place, so much to write about! Oh, I have definitely been suffering from spring fever. The doll is beautiful. I love her sweet little face. Just love it!ReplyDelete
Love all the Spring pictures and thoughts. Your world is awake and celebrating in beautiful style.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed the reasons they sound like a winner to me.
Your dolly is coming along great. Every step you make with her brings her more to life.
I always enjoy visiting your blog. It's a treat to see what you will capture next as you and Millie go walking. Love the reflection of the light trees in the water, the geese in different stages of flight and Millie standing there as if she's saying "Come on mom".ReplyDelete
You're doll is lovely and I can't wait to see her finished....but spring is here and it's time to enjoy!
Gorgeous photos! I love the one of the bluebird. I agree, who wants to stay in the house when it is so lovely outside.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your time with the grandkids!
Spring is definitely here, we have already had to cut grass twice. It is nice to just be able to go out with out having coats and long pants. Beautiful pictures. Your doll looks very patient. She will be waiting until you enjoy your grand children. It seems lots of things keep us from finishing our dolls, but family and chores must come first. she will be happy when you paint her.ReplyDelete
Hello my friend,ReplyDelete
I enjoyed your pictures of spring's arrival at your place. We will put out our hummingbird feeder in about another week. We are to have snow tonight...but this time of the year it never lasts long. Your dolls are amazing, Chip Butter! Just simply amazing. Enjoy those grand kiddos. :)
I can never tell if that brown bird is a good or bad influence, but it does have a seductive call. Glad you're enjoying your spring fever!ReplyDelete
How do you ever keep up with Millie? You have a beautiful place to walk!ReplyDelete
Maybe it's a good thing the doll isn't finished; you'll have that to work on after the grand girls go home and you're feeling lonesome.
I have seen our first "Robin" in our backyard. I am hearing the different chirps and tweets from all the lovely birds showing up to eat from our feeders. Not hard to understand why the doll may not be completed. Spring is happening and you have so many beautiful sights and sounds to follow. Wishing you a happy visit with family.ReplyDelete
Well you must be a master at paper mache, I never would have guessed it was the means for fashioning the hair. I can relate to re-doing a project over and over again until it is just right.It is part of your professionalism and of being a true artist.ReplyDelete
She's coming along beautifully. Her face is lovely. Why are her hands in bags? I don't sculpt, is this to protect them? Our dogwoods are in full bloom too, so beautiful. I went to a sale in the early morning Saturday and on the drive back it looked as though every tree I passed in the morning had literally blossomed and leafed out during the day. I was amazed by this. Photos are gorgeous as always!ReplyDelete

At first I thought, It's been boring, nothing happened and I have nothing to talk about... But then I thought about it just a bit more. And "au contraire", it's been a very eventful year!
So here it is, the past year of my life, and the things that happened that brought me where I am today.
The difference between those two pictures almost scares me. He grew up WAY too fast.
There were a few important firsts.
So I would call this past year, a really good year.
Oh, and I should not forget to mention that our trip to the Canadian Rockies in September definitely rocked my world!
So from my family to yours, I wish you a very Happy New Year and may 2010 bring you lots of health and happiness.

Is your child not able to spend the night in bed peacefully? Does he or she get wild dreams at night that does not allow then a perfect siesta at night? This could be a serious issue and you need to correct it in its development stage before it gets out of hand. Not having a very good siesta at night will make the day worse for the child. He or she will not be able to concentrate on studies and school in the morning. They will feel dull, lazy and cannot concentrate on anything that they do. If you find your child to be facing such problems and issues, it is time that you sought the help of a siesta consultant. They are professionals who will help the child to enjoy their nap through the night and not wake up and sit on the bed at nights.
Reasons why you should visit the consultant
The following are some of the reasons why you need to meet a professional consultant to get baby sleep training solutions in Singapore. This is the best way you can make train your child to enjoy a good nap.
• If your child faces siesta issues and wakes up multiple ties at night, then it is the time to meet the consultant.
• The consultant needs to be visited if your child has difficulty in getting to sleep.
• If the child wakes up from sleep early in the morning before anyone wakes up, then he needs to get siesta training from the consultant.
• If you find your child fussy and irritated all day long, then he should be taken to a siesta consultant.
• It is advisable that you see the consultant if your child's condition is making you get frustrated and you are deprived of a good nap at night.
Get a personalized plan for your family
The consultant can suggest a personalized plan that suits your family after he counsels each one in the family. The sleeplessness of your child can also cause issues in sexual relationship and hence you might also be asked to meet a sex therapist to spruce up your sex life. With all the consultations over, the professional will work with you to design a plan that will be helpful for everyone in the family. He will also guide you on how to implement the proposed plan. By following the plan, you will see that your child and other members of the family get a very good and undisturbed nap at night. Without a proper consultation to make your child fall asleep, you might end up suffering from relationship strains, emotional and behavioral health issues.

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, I've rounded up a bunch of my indie green polishes for you all! This isn't so much a comparison post, as it is a post to show all the wonderful offerings the indie world has in one color range!
I tried to mostly show off polishes that are available on the market still, but please forgive me if I've shown something that isn't! I'm sure if it isn't still available, there is something in that brand's shop you'll find yourself liking.
Green is one of my absolute favorite colors, so I thought this would be a super fun post! I couldn't possibly show you all my green polish, but I thought this was a decent sampling!
First up is Literary Lacquers Leaves of Grass, a lovely emerald green linear holo polish with matching microglitter.
Now if shimmer is your thing, this is a great green option for you. This is Baroness X Quixotica, a teal leaning green jelly polish with golden shimmer, holo pigment and multichrome flakies.
For a frostier option, and I don't mean frostier in an 80s outdated way, I mean a beautiful chromier way. This is Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Baroque-N-Record. This is a gorgeous moss green linear holo with golden flakies that create a beautiful soft golden shimmer.
This is Dreamland Lacquer Eggcite-Mint. This is a mint green crelly polish with scattered holo microglitter and blue shimmer.
This is INLP Ski Lodge. This is a lovely forest green jelly polish filled with the wonderful INLP holo shards and golden micro flakies.
This lovely multichrome beauty is Indigo Bananas A Field Trip With Butterflies Holo, sorry for the lack of macro, this was before my macro-taking days. This is a gorgeous multichrome flakie with holo finish which shifts from yellow green to blue.
This is Literary Lacquers Phizzwizard. Alright I'm a bit partial to this color since it was my addition to the 2015 Literary Lacquers Community Collection, but just look at it! Gorgeous sea green linear holo polish!
Next up we have Painted Polish California Dreamin'. This is a teal leaning evergreen linear holo polish with matching green microglitter.
This is Pahlish The Cricket Minister. This is a lovely camo green with cooler colored multichrome flakies.
This is Emily de Molly Land of Confusion, a lovely light grass green linear holo polish.
This is Indigo Bananas Olive Space and Time. A lovely olive dark green linear holo polish.
This is INLP Ten Fold. This is a lovely cool minty green filled with the INLP Ultra Holo shards.
This is Ever After Polish Feelin' Lucky, a mystery crelly. Not so much a mystery anymore! This is a lovely lime green holo polish filled with cooler colored multichrome flakies and gold glitter. Perfect for St. Patrick's Day!
This is Darling Diva Polish Trifling Bitch. This is a lovely dusty green creme filled with golden shimmer and glitter. Another great green and gold combo!
This is Painted Polish Enchantress, a lovely menagerie of cooler colored multichrome flakies with scattered holo microglitter. Pretty indoors and out!
This is Literary Lacquers Bottletown. This is a gorgeous bottle green linear holo with iridescent flakies scattered throughout.
This is the gorgeous Great Lakes Lacquer Unless, a gorgeous evergreen jelly polish filled with golden shimmer and subtle scattered holo.
This is Ever After Polish Tarzan's Vine, a gorgeous jungle green linear holo polish with a hint of golden shimmer.
This is Painted Polish Painted Pines, a beautiful evergreen jelly polish filled with holo microflakies.
And last but not least, we have Fair Maiden Polish Pretty People Taste Better. This is a lovely khaki green linear holo with a bright green shimmer!
So that's it! Twenty great green indie polishes, enough to satisfy any green need. Just in time for the wonderful Irish St. Patrick's Day, but I don't need a holiday as an excuse to wear green. Everyday is a green polish appropriate day in my life.
Now share with me! Which of these is your absolute favorite green?!!

British Polythene Industries PLC (BPI) BPI produces polythene film products. The introduction of a rehabilitation scheme has significantly reduced absences amongst 3,500 staff, thereby helping productivity and cost reduction.
BPI already carried out manual handling risk assessment and kinetic handling training to reduce musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) injury levels. BPI wanted to find ways to support those staff who did suffer MSD injuries.
By working with 'Osteopaths for Industry', BPI provides:
'This rehabilitation scheme created the solutions we needed in terms of health and safety and occupational health. It was popular with the workforce and their representatives, and it made excellent business sense.'
Andy Collinson, Group Director of Health and Safety
In 2001, the initiative cost around £16,000. This was the cost of around 400 treatments (with an average of 3 treatments per referral).
For every £1 spent on the initiative, BPI believes they have benefited from savings of £12. So, as basic costs in 2001 were £16,000, benefits of £192,000 were achieved. This was a saving of £176,000 in one year and has continued to return such large savings each year since.
'In financial terms, the benefits outweigh the costs by 12:1. We were able to make a case for improvement, prioritise areas and demonstrate the impact we have had from hard measurable facts.'
Andy Collinson, Group Director of Health and Safety
The Board were enthusiastic that a new means of supporting staff and reducing business losses had been identified. They gave their full support to the Group Health and Safety Manager to develop and trial the scheme.
Following a successful pilot scheme, the initiative was rolled out across the whole company. Employee health and safety representatives, including those from the GMB and TGWU, gave considerable support, particularly in 'selling' the concept to their colleagues.

Heaven, it turns out, is no different. The difference is only that the denizens of heaven are happily feeding each other.
My guess is that they're not even two different places; the damned are so self-absorbed that they don't even notice that others are getting fed. Or, if they do, the idea that someone would just feed them is so outlandish and unthinkable that they're baffled at how those folks are managing to get food.
It's an attractive notion—that hell is something that we do to ourselves and to each other.
Mohandas K.Gandhi—that Gandhi, the Mahatma guy—wouldn't sit still for that. Nor would Martin Luther King, Jr. Then there's that John Murray character, who's remembered most often for this;
You may possess only a small light, but uncover it, let it shine, use it in order to bring more light and understanding to the hearts and minds of men and women. Give them not Hell, but hope and courage. Do not push them deeper into their theological despair, but preach the kindness and everlasting love of God.
Murray (and I'll bet the others, too) wouldn't just be feeding each other. They'd be stepping over the line and nudging full spoons to the lips of the tormented. "Here, taste it," you can hear them saying. "Take a bite. You look famished."
I have no doubt of it. Each of them knew full well that they could pour out hope and bring something to those mired in hunger and hopelessness. Each of them knew that it was an uphill struggle all the way. They would happily feed the damned and each other, as well, for as long as it took to save every last one of those lost souls. Sooner or later, they'll open their mouths—maybe to complain or whine—and in they'll pop a spoonful of something delectable.
They'd smile, laugh and take delight in the look of shock on the face of that poor soul, and keep at it. Sooner or later, they'll get the idea.
Of course, folks like Murray and Gandhi and King would utterly screw up that Calvinist idea of Heaven and Hell. If the damned were suffering among the saved, they'd be busy saving them. Damned troublemakers. If the damned and the saved were separated—that classic Heaven above and Hell below idea—they'd be militating to be let out of Heaven, to be allowed to go and evangelized Hell, to preach hope to the damned and to demons. They'd be stirring up sit-ins and protests in Heaven, or stirring up the damned to rise up and help each other; persuading devils to use those pitchforks to pull people out of flames.
Of course, if you believe in the kind of afterlife where the good are rewarded and the evil are punished, you have to wonder what would get done with saints like these folk (and all the others like them—it's easy to make a long list of people who would not bat an eye but would dig in to do the work of ending the suffering of other souls). They're too good to put up with in Heaven, and too much trouble to let loose in Hell.
That god? He'd have to evict them. No Heaven for them, and certainly no Hell. They'd be shipped back to the only place left—Earth. That leads one to wonder if the Buddha wasn't on to something.
Take up your spoons; you have nothing to lose but Heaven and Hell—and if you'll just start feeding each other, dammit, you can make heaven on earth.

Lil Durk – Make It Out
Lil Durk is one of the most consistent rappers working. Since 2011, he's been releasing music at a steady clip, often putting out more than one project a year, not to mention a handful of loose tracks. In 2017, he's already put out Love Songs For The Streets and Supa Vultures with Lil Reese, and he's announced Signed To The Street 3 is on its way.
Before we hear that, Durk has shared a brand new standalone track "Make It Out," which he premiered on XXL today. The Will-A-Fool-produced track finds Durk delivering the melancholic street rap he's known for, but there's a strong glimmer of hope in his rhymes. As someone who's found success through music.

About 15% of new Conservative and Labour MPs came from lobbying backgrounds according to research by an anti-spin campaigning group which is calling on Nick Clegg to urgently introduce a promised new register of lobbyists.
Spinwatch said the figures – 19 out of 143 Tories and 11 out of 67 new Labour MPs – suggested there was a "revolving door" between parliament and the industry attempting to influence it. The register was crucial to bring some transparency to the system. The coalition government said it is committed to publishing the register.
David Miller, a spokesman for Spinwatch, which was set up in the aftermath of the Iraq war and is funded through donations, said: "When people move between being lobbyists to being MPs and ministers, there is a potential conflict of interest. There's a cooling off period when they leave – but that's not statutory. There should be a cooling off period beforehand as well.
"Given that Cameron was in PR and Clegg was a professional lobbyist, the question is whether businesses have special access as the result of those relationships?"
In the Conservative party George Eustice, formerly associate director at Portland PR and Cameron's former spokesman, is MP for Camborne and Redruth. His former colleague at Portland, Charlotte Leslie, took Bristol North West.
Priti Patel, former director at Weber Shandwick, became MP for Witham; Damian Collins came from Lexington Communications to take Folkestone and Hythe; and Penny Mordaunt, former associate at Hanover took Portsmouth North.
On the Labour benches, Emma Reynolds, a senior consultant at Cogitamus is now MP for Wolverhampton North East and Thomas Docherty, account director at PPS Group is MP for Dunfermline and West Fife. There are no new Liberal Democrat MPs with lobbying backgrounds.
On Wednesday evening, Number 10 confirmed that Clegg would assume responsibility for the register as well as other elements designed to clean-up the political system including party donations and the Independent Parliamentary Safeguarding Authority, responsible for policing MPs' expenses.
The government is also poised to publish a full list of special advisers appointed since the election after promising to cut the number of spin-doctors on the public pay-roll under Labour.
A Conservative spokesman said: "As the coalition agreement sets out, the government is committed to regulating lobbying through introducing a statutory register and ensuring greater transparency."

The Hudson Community Development Association is a group founded for the betterment of the Town of Hudson. The Association has been in existence for over thirty years and handles many community projects.
Of special note is the Hudson Depot Restoration Project in the Hickman Windmill Park. The original Hudson Depot which was in danger of being destroyed was moved to its present location by HCDA in 1997. The Depot has since undergone restoration and has been transformed into a beautiful museum facility housing collectibles of Hudson and Caldwell County History. The Depot Museum is open during special occassions and to school classes for field trips.
HCDA is a completely volunteer organization which encompasses people from many walks of life. Involved in this group are citizens of Hudson as well as local Hudson business people. The group welcomes anyone who has a desire to work for the betterment of the Town of Hudson. They meet regularly on the 1st Tuesday in odd numbered months at 6:00 at the Town Hall.
Tanya Yearick is the current President of the group. For more information call Hudson Town Hall at (828) 728-8272.
The Community Development's children's firetruck is a big favorite of children of all ages:

Here, at the conclusion of our semester, is a Before and After look at my experience with the song "Blessed Be Your Name." Certainly, I learned many other things on the piano (and in music theory) in my learning journey that I am also proud of. However, my intention from the beginning was to learn how to play tabs and I think this is where the most progress has been made. I spent many hours watching videos, listening to the song, and trying a variety of different methods of playing the chords.
Thanks so much to all of you that supported me through this journey, especially Randi who inspired me to continue trying, and offered essential advice!
My Lessons Through This Journey:
1. One of the greatest lessons in this learning project was to recognize once again what it feels like to start to learn something new. It's scary, it's frustrating, it's challenging, and the minor successes are so rewarding. That's what it's like especially for our youngest students.
2. But to realize that it's never too late to start learning something is important too.I think that we develop the mentality of "I'm much too old!" or "Everyone else is so skilled!" or "I wouldn't know where to begin!"echo through many adult conversations regarding learning new skills. But, we can and should continue to learn!
3. Also, to develop independent learning skills was also incredibly valuable. To experience project-based and self-regulated learning allowed me to better understand the resources that the digital world holds– videos, tutorials, and people that we might otherwise never cross paths with in our daily lives. I was able to obtain the information and guidance that I needed, while also being exposed to ideas, songs, and concepts that I had not yet thought of. Therefore, I can better appreciate the value of this type of learning for students, and it better fosters an ability for students to be lifelong learners when they may not have access to a teacher, but will have access to the online community.

My apologies …
My commitment to the Humble Observer is to write a post every Monday of every week.
I missed last week. First miss in a year of writing.
Please forgive me.
I'm currently in Hawaii where the roosters don't care if I'm sleeping, they go cock-a-doodling at 6 A.M. when there is no hint of sun yet.
Seriously rooster, you can't wait until the sun has risen?
I appreciate your wake up call, just let me lay in the darkness a little bit longer.
I digress.
Things You Should Know During Your First Week of Paleo
At Guerrilla Fitness: Crossfit Morristown, I'm inspired everyday how people reach new levels of health, fitness, and happiness.
I think I'm healthy, then I see menin their forties lifting faster and heavier than me.
I think I'm happy, then I realize how much seeing all of these people make me smile. I only hope that I do the same for them.
Feelings of pride come over me as members start sharing their new perspective of health without medicine's help with their loved ones.
Recently, a male specimen, who doesn't know how to shut up (but luckily, has the voice of a male Siren), discussed with me his own successes and failures trying to convert his family to eating Paleo and getting off of their many medications.
Here is what I told him to relay to his family.
1. You need to plan: If you don't plan your meals, you're setting yourself up for trouble.
Have health snacks such as fruits, nuts, raw vegetables, or left-overs prepared.
Know what you will prepare for each meal.
Lack of planning will cause #2 to happen more often than necessary.
2. You will fall down: Babies fall as they learn to walk. It's part of the process. No parent ever gives up on their child after they've fallen once.
Unfortunately, people give up after one fall.
Expect to fall.
It's not whether you do, it's how quickly you get back up.
Here's what happens.
You're eating paleo. You have been going a week strong and feeling great. After a long day of work with stress upon stress upon stress, you come home looking for the quickest stimulus of sugar to ease your mind.
Then, you feel guilty and fall of the wagon completely. You think to yourself, you failed, it's over.
No, it's not.
It's ok! Everybody falls down. Just get back up and resume where you left off.
Expect the fall and resume the diet the next day.
3. It will be hard initially and get easier as time goes on:
Normally, people get their energy from carbohydrates. They also get high off of grains, dairy, and processed foods.
My mom calls my little sisters "The Carb Queens."
They eat minimal vegetables or protein.
I told my mom, "If you were 10 years old, why would you eat a vegetable (with no apparent mental effect) when you can get high from a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and pasta for dinner?"
Evolutionarily speaking, feeling good after eating alot of carbohydrates (which quickly turns to fat for storage purposes so you can survive a lack of food for a longer period of time) or after dairy (with its enormous insulin spike, which again, stores energy for the future) is a smart response for the body.
Your body thinks, I feel good when I eat these foods, so I'm going to eat more of it.
Your mind benefits by getting high and release feel good hormones such as dopamine and serotonin. Your body benefits by being able to survive longer in the face of famine.
The problem is, my little sisters are in no danger of confronting famine.
When people eat paleo, energy comes from fat, not carbohydrates. Not only that, but you can get high from having a body running on clean fuel with no comedown like that experienced by a kid who runs out of fuel in the form of sugar.
It's hard initially becuse your body is detoxing off of the grains, dairy, and processed foods.
Allow your body to learn to run off of fat and it will run much more efficiently.
4. You need to enjoy the food you eat:
In chiropractic school, I had a friend who grew up on non-Paleo foods and it visibly showed.
I'd ask him what vegetables he liked.
He couldn't name one unless it was "French fried."
He wanted to get healthier, so he started preparing random vegetables that people told him were good.
He couldn't stick to it.
I intervened and told him that he must enjoy the food he eats! If he doesn't, he will just go looking later for something unhealthy that he doesn't.
In other words, he needs to find out which vegetables and recipes are the tastiest and experiment until he finds staples that he could lean on.
In this way, he could slowly add vegetables and recipes over time and branch out into more and more colors.
I recommended sweet potato fries, a man salad with plenty of protein and fat, baked vegetables with olive oil and spices (sea salt, black pepper, oregano, basil, parsley) baked at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes.
Over time, he started enjoying more and more vegetables and is now, close to a Paleo convert.
5. Eating paleo will pay off … Big-Time!
I can recall losing ONE person out of hundreds who've tried Paleo and never come back to it.
This person seemed to give a half-assed effort from the start and didn't truly want it.
Not only that, but she didn't allow me to help her.
If someone can stick with eating paleo for a month, they will see the results and not ever want to go back.
Know that this paleo stuff works.
I often say "Try it. Give it one month. If you don't like it, go back to eating the way you normally do." (I say this knowing that she is going to feel amazing if she sticks to it).
And eating paleo doesn't mean that you can never treat yourself to your old favorites. You just do it less often, whether it's once a week or for a special occasion.
When you do fall of the wagon, the crappy feeling of being bloated and the mental hangover will remind you why you are eating paleo in the first place.
Whether it's losing fat, getting lean, reducing symptoms such as rheumatoid arthitis, gastrointestinal distress, mental lack of clarity, acne, eczema, or optimizing lab markers for disese in your blood, eating paleo will work for the vast majority of people.
Give it a chance to work its magic.
A Request to Help You
As I said, I've been thinking about you and feeling guilty for missing a post last week.
I hope that this post helps you introduce paleo into your lifestyle or into the lifestyle of your family and friends.
I've also been wondering how you are and how I haven't asked you how I can help in a long time.
So here I am asking you again.
How can I help you?
What would you like to learn more about? Exercise? Crossfit? Paleodiet? Stress? Depression? Happiness? Personal growth?
Do you need someone to talk to in an area of your life that you're having trouble with?
Do you live in North Jersey and need a ride to the airport?
Honestly, if there's any way I can make your life healthier or happier, please let me know.
Comment below, or email me at cstepiendc (at) gmail (dot) com.
Since the rooster loves me enough to wake me up every morning, I'm in a loving mood.
Love and cock-a-doodle-do,
P.S. I've become good friends with Diane of balancedbites.com. She is more knowledgeable about Paleo than me, loves bacon, and is a strong advocate for eating sauerkraut everyday. I couldn't support her message any stronger than I do now.

The King
"He wakes up, alone in the heart of frozen space...
An infinity of lights pierce through obscurity, nascent lights or dying stars convulsing and silently travelling through time.
They ignore his birth, as their vast consciousness is indolent.
He contemplates the mistakes in the matter, infinite particles; and the strange consequences of their quantic ballet.
Burning fusions, titanic explosions propagating in iridescent waves and reverberate until the ends of the universe.
He discovers, without curiosity or passion, lulled by a deaf melancholy. He already senses everything that was, is and will be.
Simply, he knows. We're not born only once.
He waits for a moment; Hesitates. There remains the illusory idea of a different choice, another branch of possibilities and nebulous dreams.
Out of this world and time. Ephemeral.
So with a thought he arranges the void.
With a look, he assembles the world.

I know it's been a week since I blogged but hopefully this picture will make up for it!
This delicious dish is skillet lasagna and it's absolutely insanely yummy. Now I have to give credit where credit is due. My friend Marc (hi Marc!) is quite the foodie himself and always shares these amazing photos of the dishes he cooks. When he posted similar photos of this dish on Facebook, I just had to get the recipe. It's quick and simple and the perfect comfort food for these chilly Fall days.
~ Here's what you will need ~
1 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
Table salt
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
1 lb meat loaf mix (a combination of ground beef, pork and veal)
10 lasagna noodles broken into 2-inch pieces
1 8-ounce can of tomato sauce
1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese
Fresh ground black pepper
1 cup of ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons of fresh basil, chopped
~ And here's what you do with all of it ~
1) Pour the diced tomatoes with their juices into a 4-cup measuring cup and add water until the mixture reaches 4 cups.
2) Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook until the onions begin to brown, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking apart the meat, until no longer pink.
3) Scatter lasagna noodles over the meat but do not stir. Pour the diced tomatoes with their juices and the tomato sauce over the noodles. Cover the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and let it simmer until the pasta is tender, about 20 minutes.
4) Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper and dot with heaping spoons of ricotta cheese. Cover for a few minutes, then finish by sprinkling fresh basil and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
5) Take a fork and dig in! You can also serve it on a plate if you want to look more civilized!

Pet Name: Piece
Owner: hauntinq
Breed: Bruce
About Piece:
Piece is a Bruce of all trades, more out of necessity than anything. After all, he was separated from his family as an egg. He hatched into a handsome baby bruce, and quickly began his journey to find his family.
One stop in his journey was at a bakery. All he knew were that there were some great smells coming from it, and he felt hungry. Since he was so small, no one saw him came in, nor did they see him wander to the kitchen.
Splat! He fell into a giant pan filled with chocolate cake. He didn't know this at the time, but the cake was meant to go to King Skarl. As the baker was sliding the pan into the oven, he saw Piece's head pop out! The baker yelped and pulled the young Bruce out.
"Well look at you, I thought you were a piece of chocolate." The baker chuckled. "Now be on your way."
And that's how he got his name.
Piece never did find his family, but did find a foster family to stay with. There were pets of fabulous colors; a scary darigan, a beautiful royal princess, and a couple cute babies he enjoyed playing with.
He quickly grew to love this family, but one day their owner woke him up in the middle of the night.
"Wake up, Piece," they said, smiling sweetly. "I found you a new home."
A sleepy Piece obediently went with them to a scary place they thought they heard their owner call the pet trading post. Everyone was yelling and beside them, sat pets looking as scared as he felt.
They walked straight up to another smiling individual. They had a beautiful plushie pet sitting beside them, who looked at Piece with disdain. With a flick of its nose, it joined Piece's former owner and Piece was led away.
Piece looked back with a tear in his eye. He should have known he never had a chance against other, more beautiful colors.
This new family introduced Piece to books and to fighting in the Battledome. He did enjoy books quite a bit more, but battling was fun, especially when he was battling bad guys.
He stayed with them for a few months before being traded away again. His stats with new families got shorter and shorter, and it got to the point he didn't even bother to get attached to a family. Each time, he was traded for a better, more fancy colored pet.
One night, he had barely had time to eat his dinner when he was being pulled back to the pet trading post. He bit back a sigh, knowing he was about to join another new family.
Leaves crunched under his feet and he shivered, wishing he had a jacket or even a blanket to go with him, as autumn was quickly rolling in with a chill in the air.
Minutes later, his old owner headed back home leading an adorable baby pet. To his surprise, instead of just being led away, his new owner wrapped a scarf around his neck and fastened a coat around him. Finally, she pressed a warm cup of hot cocoa into his hands, and he greedily drank the liquid.
She grinned at him. "Hi, I'm hauntinq! Would you like to come live with me forever?"
Piece nodded enthusiastically. "Oh yes, I would like that very much!"
She chuckled. "Well good. I have a big empty neohome, and I need a pet to fill it. We have a garden, and a giant library with all the books you could want, and..."
Piece smiled as he listened to his new owner rattle on. He had finally found his forever home at last. He loved autumn!

One of our clients had a bold vision to build a site dedicated to audiophile headphone reviews and rankings to essentially create "The Billboard Charts" of headphone reviews!
We built headphonecharts.com from the ground up, using a custom PHP framework, allowing them to add in new content effortlessly, which has allowed their organic traffic and keyword rankings continually improve.
Create Brief was the brainchild of one of our clients, who wanted to provide the world with the first free-to-use, no-signup-required design brief, to help designers collaborate on projects more effectively.
We helped Vasilaros | Wagner (personal injury firm) build a website that helped victims find useful information and contact the injury firm with as little pain as possible.
The website and project had 3 main goals:
This project had a simple and clear vision "create a site committed to helping victims with a free injury settlement". We built the calculator from scratch with the main goal being to make it easy on the victim to complete the form. We worked tirelessly to remove clicks from the calculator process.

The cool weather arriving in many parts of the country brings an appetite for spätzle. With roasts or vegetables, in soups, or sauced, spätzle fills out a meal with handcrafted goodness.
"This is the recipe I use from a little German-American cookbook put together by the residents of Manning, Iowa. There's no resting, no weirdness, no drama; and they come out perfect," says revsharkie.
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
Combine all ingredients well in a medium bowl. Press through a coarse colander or spätzle maker into boiling water or broth.
Stir and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Drain and add 1 to 2 tablespoons butter, if desired.
Cooking time is about as long as it takes to wash the bowl and spätzle maker.
Here is an Austrian spätzle recipe:
4 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
4 cups all-purpose flour (1 pound)
1 cup milk
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup Pommery mustard
1/8 cup chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Using a mixer fitted with a dough hook, work all ingredients into a smooth batter. Let rest 1 hour. Prepare boiling salted water with a little oil. Grate spätzle into water using a large-holed colander with a pastry card, or use a spätzle machine. Spätzle is done when it floats to the surface.
Sauté in butter with generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley; cheese is optional.

It is a strange irony that those who reverence stones live in glass ideologies.
—L. Brown
Idolatry—every monotheist abhors the thought, and yet many commit the crime themselves. Few today fully grasp the complexities of this issue, for the definition of idolatry has been buried beneath nearly 1,700 years of church tradition.
The second commandment states, "You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them" (Exodus 20:4–5). Alternate translations employ slightly different, though significant, wording, as for example: "You shall not bow down to them or worship them" (NRSV, NIV).
The commandment not to make carved images speaks for itself, as does the subsequent decree not to make any likeness whatsoever.
These directives could not be clearer.
