You and I look back, then slowly walk towards each other.
We breathe in the goodbyes
back into our lungs and they are gone forever.
I release you from a thinning embrace,
and tears will flow back from eyes that slowly dry.
My sadness will turn into a smile and
we'll talk a mess of words that cannot be understood.
We'll say hello and then walk away.
I'll wake up and reach for the phone.
To end the call, say goodnight and
pull back in the words I spoke into the mic.
My ears will forget the words you never spoke.
The hours of talking will turn into minutes and into seconds,
and I'll finally say hello, then start the call that never began.
We dance hand in hand,
our bodies releasing music back into the speakers.
I'll take the flowers from you and
we'll slowly walk away, disappearing into the shadows of the night.
My heart will mend itself back together,
and your rejection will disappear back into the silence of a sad smile.
I bring back the question that I never asked.
Feelings for you will vanish into nothingness,
and finally we become friends, and
I'll erase the conversations we had message by message,
forgetting the answers you haven't told me yet.
We will go back and talk, and then
our names will disappear into the folds of a future that has never happened.
We'll walk away with no idea of who the other is, and
we'll walk away as strangers and never meet.
I finally got the guts to introduce myself to you.
Fast forward.
We finally become friends and then all of a sudden
I found myself falling for you.
Fast forward.
I ask you out and you say no, but it was fine because-
Fast forward.
I ask you out on the school dance, and I thought-
Fast forward.
I told you I had to leave, that this would be the last year I'd be here. I wanted to tell you how-
Fast forward.
Our last day.
I've been back here, to this moment
so many times
but it's still the same.
I still find it hard to let you go
even though I know
there is no other way this ends.
Every story has a beginning, middle and end, someone said.
I'm unsure where this ends, though.
Is it at your goodbye
or was it at your hello?

Giving developers the tools to securely verify identities through the blockchain.
Civic's Secure Identity Platform (SIP) allows businesses to use verified User identities for multi-factor authentication and KYC functionality on the web and mobile apps without the need for usernames or passwords. Our revolutionary ecosystem is built on blockchain technology and provides the following benefits:
Keys are generated by a third-party wallet, providing a firewall between Civic and users' keys
Identity data is fully encrypted in the app on the user's device and can be accessed with biometrics
Public identifier for the authenticating authority, hashed identity data, and a flag indicating the data is still valid
Civic is another high-profile company working in this area, enabling users to share and manage their verified identity data via a blockchain.
Civic is keeping user data safe in a way which provides higher accuracy for businesses at lower cost
We're happy to offer Civic login to provide a better user experience for the 150 million people a month who visit wikiHow.
We are fanatical about user security and are happy to be able to provide further protection for our customer's identities and financial assets from the growing trends of cyber fraud and identity theft.
The Civic team have a peerless reputation when it comes to providing tangible solutions that correspond with the ever-changing threats to personal data online.
Votem was founded to improve free and fair elections around the globe and with our partnership with Civic, we know that we have a solid partner to help us achieve our mission.
By outsourcing our KYC services to Civic, we mitigate the risk of attracting hackers and identity thieves that are usually associated with traditional data management services in centralized systems that serve as a single point of failure.
CapLinked is excited to be offering Civic as a seamless integration to our customers and to be working closely with Civic to develop innovative, secure identity verification products as we move forward with our blockchain project.
One of the many benefits of working with Civic is that their protocol actually allows for the verification of, for instance, high school diplomas and other certificates associated with user profiles.
Civic became the first company to turn identity theft protection into truly warning you before the identity theft truck hits you.
The bottom line is that Americans are not in control of when and where their personal information is being used and we plan to change that.

Yes, yes, I'm behind the times. I found out about this show ages ago, before I actually thought seriously about starting a blog, and so I forgot about it temporarily until I accidentally ended up telling the story of Conan Doyle's original "The Adventure of the Final Problem" to one of my floormates. And then I remembered this show.
When my mother first told me that there was a new BBC show being made of Sherlock Holmes stories, my first thought was, "Why?" After all, the older version with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke is, in many ways, the culmination of most of the stereotypes of Sherlock Holmes that have accumulated over the years: Holmes as an erudite yet energetic, eccentric but still somehow almost normal Victorian gentleman, full of witticisms and culture, and Watson as his loyal, bumbling, stupid, common-man sidekick. This is a little ironic when you consider that Holmes is a college chemistry dropout and Watson is a highly-trained doctor. Regardless, the Brett-Hardwicke combo is highly entertaining and I recommend their version if you're looking for a classic Holmes fix.
The next thing I heard about the new series was that it would be set in modern times. "Damn it," I thought, "they try this gimmick with everything written before the 1960s. Shakespeare in modern times, Grimm's Fairy Tales in modern times, and now this. I'll bet they ruin it."
Having seen the series, I have some statements to make:
- When I thought that setting things in modern times was just them trying to be edgy, I was mostly wrong, and being an old fogey (I'm 18, but you get the gist). And I apologize.
- Sherlock changes the normal portrayal of the Holmes-Watson relationship into something that makes complete sense given the modern setting, but somehow also makes a lot of sense given the original material.
- This show is fucking awesome.
Everything that bothered me about other adaptations of Holmes stories, Sherlock has fixed. Watson is generally thought of as the character the audience can relate to (as opposed to the brilliance of Sherlock Holmes), but portrayals insult the viewers by making him, well, sort of an idiot. And usually quite portly, despite just having come home from a war at the beginning of the narrative. Martin Freeman's John Watson is intelligent, action-oriented, and every bit as fleshed-out a character as Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock (who uses his first name in this incarnation). He is still the audience's link to the story, but he's the sort of person you might actually want to hang out with.
Sherlock, on the other hand, is…well, he's way more sociopathic and less emotionally restrained in many ways than previous incarnations, gleeful at the prospect of a new case, even when he's dancing around because someone new got murdered. In the past, Holmes was a snarker, to be sure, but his Victorian sensibilities prevented any serious rudeness. In the modern world, all politeness bets are off.
In short, Sherlock takes the characters and stories of the original stories and develops them in a way that makes complete sense in the modern world. Where other adaptations might have asked, "How would classic Holmes solve mysteries in today's environment?", this series explores the question of how a brilliant young mind growing up in our present developed into the world's greatest detective, and how unfettered genius fits in to the society of the 2010s.
Bottom line: Awesome. Go see it now, preferably after reading the original stories.

My ultimate goals in life was to startup a family with a man who permanently wants me always as the only woman in his life, a man that only wants a future with me and his desires to be with and around me to be uncontrollable. A man that will turn a deaf ear to nothing or anyone trying to separate us.

Over the weekend, I went on a marathon run of activities and events.
Drove with the top down to Southern California, soaking up the warm air and sun.
Sweated it out in the sweltering heat with Bugs & Porky.
Screamed, flipped, turned, flew on the rollercoasters at Magic Mountain.
Cheered for my cousin at her graduation from UCSD.
And lots and lots of family time!

By Alyssa Book
As teens were busy enjoying their last weeks of summer, some got the opportunity to leave the country to pursue their passions.
Students from different schools were chosen to represent the Kentucky Music Ambassadors program as they traveled to Europe. FC students were joined by choir students from different schools around Kentuckiana.
FC graduate Hayley Fien enjoyed being with other choir participants.
"It was a great opportunity to meet new people from the same area that I never would've met because our schools don't interact. I made some great friends that I will definitely keep for as long as I can."
Senior Ted Hartog also said it was a good experience being with kids from different choirs and spending so much time together made it easy to branch out and meet new people.
Some locations that were visited included the London Embankment next to the River Thames, St. Severin in Paris, the Pfarrkirche in Seefeld, Austria, Mondsee Basilica in Austria, St. Mark's Basilica, and Franziskanerkirche in Rothenburg, Germany. Music genres performed were classical religious hymns, some American classics and some gospel music.
Fien described the daily schedule as jam packed and always having something fun to do.
"Well, depending on where we were, we would wake up around 7 for breakfast, maybe do an hour or two of sightseeing, possibly a performance around 2 or 3 from the band, then more sightseeing, then a performance by the choir and orchestra after dinner."
The trip was led by University of Louisville choir director Dr. Kent Hatteberg. Many teachers and parent volunteers were also involved in the program. The trip was planned and prepared by Voyagers International.
Not all of the students had parents with them to share in the experience. Senior Regan Platt was one that went two weeks without her family.
"It wasn't too hard to be away from my family at first because of all the chaos and excitement of arriving in Europe. After the first week or so it really hit me how far away I was and that was hard. Communication was little to none as I didn't have my phone and I think that was the worst of it. Yet I knew that they were fine and I would see them soon, so I always kept that in my mind and just focused on enjoying the experience."
Hartog was thankful for the opportunity, but was glad it was just a visit and claimed he would not want to stay there long term.
"It was a nice place to visit, not a nice place to live. I got homesick because water wasn't free and you have to pay for bathrooms."
With every person taking in the same sights and singing the same songs, each location struck different chords with students.
Fien's favorite place was Switzerland while Platt was impressed by the atmosphere in London.
"It is a completely different culture and every street leads to something new and exciting. It was as if I'd stepped into a storybook. Truly it was just as I'd imagined. Rainy and overcast skies yet still just wonderful," said Platt.
Students got to spend two weeks traveling Europe and making lasting memories that will stick with them forever.
Platt described the trip as majestic and as something that changed her entirely.
"I hold a new view of the world and what it holds, all the pictures we see in textbooks are real, they aren't just flat images on a page. It is only when you see these that you realize how intricate this world is, your view shifts. Everything seems so much smaller and yet bigger at the same time. I know what it is to sit on the side of the Seine and watch the sunset, what it is to stand on top of the alps, I've seen the Eiffel Tower, and I've climbed the rocks out over lake geneva….so many experiences of which I will never forget. I learned what it is to be filled with wonder knowledge, and even now after all this I know I have to go back."

More From The UFO Bin
These are not forgotten blocks....these are blocks that have PURPOSELY been stuffed back. I made these around 1999/2000 and they just never went anywhere. They were "too beige" or something. I wasn't sure. I loved the pattern, I hated the sage green I used for the stems/leaves....if I did it now, I would have used several greens, not all the same washed out grey/green. But that was then, this is now!
Because the UFO bin was in front of me and I had been digging through it over the past couple days, sorting, revisiting, culling, reorganizing, I pulled them out. I laid them out on the floor (in the new den...aha! that floor has another purpose!) and again....TOO BEIGE! I'm sure the beige carpet was not helping. The blocks are 14" finished. Another reason I'm not thrilled with them. I just don't get into BIG BLOCKS. What to do?
I asked myself how Gwennie or Freddie would handle something like this...how to dress up the blaah?? I needed to pull in bright and scrappy and impulsive. I started piecing some string blocks just for fun, thinking if they didn't work out, they could always go into a charity quilt. WOW...a lot of these strings are REALLY bright because I have people from guild who continually hand me baggies of "stuff" at guild meetings. It is fun to sew with other people's trimmings!
So here are some blocks laid out with altnernate string blocks....and I'm asking for thoughts. Do I go for it? Really try to wonk these boring lilies up? Can I turn it into a quilt that I will LOVE?
Here is a shot of the den from the doorway before I laid everything on the floor...I forgot to upload this one the other day.

I for one like the addition of the string blocks - whether or not you will love it in the end it still up for grabs... (You can keep it in your ready to gift pile or donate it to charity if not...) I can see the same string blocks as setting triangles too...ReplyDelete
I really like the string blocks! Puts lots of pizazz into the quilt! Beats having them age in the box anyday!ReplyDelete
YES! GO FOR IT!!! I love those string blocks as alternates. What a wonderful way to jazz up a ho-hum quilt.ReplyDelete
I like it. They are kind of boring and foo foo and don't look like you alone. I really like the interesting look those string blocks give them. something totally surprising to the viewer.ReplyDelete
My bent is "safe" quilts with colors that all "fit," and I get so tired of it. Maybe that is why I love scrap quilts...no rules...permission to be crazy...ReplyDelete
So my vote is go for it! I just love the look and how it almost looks plans in a wild way. I think its a great combination...and would be fun to build the quilt as you keep going along.
I'm going to throw my vote in to go with the string blocks! They add a much needed punch.ReplyDelete
I to vote you go for it with the string blocks! They really make the whole quilt POP! I would have never thought to do that, but you found a great solution for the ho hum matchy matchy blocks! Can't wait to see it finished!ReplyDelete

I love it too, they are like string pinwheels and jazz it up.
WOOHOO...these string blocks are an AWESOME addition! GO FOR IT!ReplyDelete
I'd go for it -- you've got nothing to loose.... the blocks aren't doing anything in your UFO bin, they might as well be combined with some strings and either 1) be fabulous (my first guess) or 2) given to a charity as a lilly and strings top!ReplyDelete
Love it with the string blocks! It livens them up so much. Go for it I say.ReplyDelete
Bonnie, the addition of those wonderful string blocks makes it look so much more like you! If I saw those blocks hanging with regular setting squares, I never would say that's your quilt.ReplyDelete
Go for it hon, it's going to be amazing!
I love how your den looks, and especially the pile of quilts in the corner. I can see that pile growing to the ceiling some day!

I say YES! Who but you would have thought to add some string quilts and make those blocks into something special. I'm sure you will love it after it's quilted - if you don't I'll send some postage LOL.ReplyDelete
Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie, you continue to amaze me! I think the string blocks look great. Go for it.ReplyDelete
Well the second picture was a complete 'in-your-face' surprise - but hey amazingly it works! They only amendment I'd make is to put a very fine sashing say half or three quarter inch in black between all the blocks - both lillies and strings to give it definition - Go for it girl! This is what's colloquially known as 'thinking outside the box!'ReplyDelete
Bonnie, I really like your Carolina Lily blocks and the stings give a lovely look to the entire quilt! Go for it! I agree with Nancy. It worth to finish it! Love GiusypatchReplyDelete
Wow, I'm not normally in to bright and crazy, but I really like this combination! I agree with the above post, a sashing around the blocks would set it off perfectly!ReplyDelete
Yes! The element of suprise!!! I love it.ReplyDelete
I was also going to mention a light-colored frame around the string blocks to separate them from the lily blocks a bit. But, I guess, then you'd have to frame the lily blocks to make them to size... so I vote for sashing! I think it will be lovely, and look forward to seeing the final product!ReplyDelete
Well, here's the "responsible opposing viewpoint." I wouldn't do it.ReplyDelete
Wowser! I say go for it. I think the string blocks punch up what were just "lying there kind of dead" blocks! What fun...ReplyDelete
Bonnie, I have been a fan of your Quiltville website for awhile, and just started a weed whacker quilt. I loveit, so easy to do, and a great way to start using some of my strips.ReplyDelete
Thank you, you are a life saver for helping find a pattern to make using these strips easy to use!
Nicole, Berlin, Germany
P.S. I showed my husband your cupboards of fabric...and now he doesn't thin my stash is so bad now! LOL
LOVE the strings. They really make it fun and awesome. I would say keep going, but knowing you the whole thing is probably pieced by now ;-)ReplyDelete
Like nichole I love your site, and the amount of knowledge, and patterns that you share with others. You truly have a giving spirit.
I love the strings with the lilys. It is so different, yet very unique. And, it is stash busting to beat! Yippee! I also agree with the black border between them. I think it would also give definition, and that extra "POP factor".
I have also recently got a top together from one of your string patterns, and will send you a pic once the snow stops long enough to take it. I just started a weedwhacker quilt too. This is going to be soooooooooo awesome.
I am diligently cutting all my scraps up--4 large garbage bags, into the increments from 1.5" - 4.5". It is very freeing, and my plan is to make everyone scrappy quilts for gifts next christmas. Yeah i know, it is way too early, but this girl has to plan.
I like it...seriously makes them wake up and look alive again!ReplyDelete
I agree here with the masses, the string blocks are fun and most certainly a surprise element between the Carolina Lilies, totally unexpected and life-giving.ReplyDelete
I am hiding my head, hoping no one notices me, but I thought I commented in a uh-hem ... negative... way as to the strings. Apparently that was one day when comments wasn't working. So I'm back again. trying to figure out what you'll come up with.ReplyDelete
Even though I cannot imagine what this will look like with the strings, I have absolute confidence that you Bonnie, the amazing designer, will figure out something absolutely creative and wonderful, that I never could have imagined -- that's why I love your site! Frankly, I can't wait to see it.
Thanks for all your wonderful ideas!
From DRAB to FAB! Oh yes, those bright strings are JUST the right zing. Go for it!ReplyDelete
Looks like you found a wonderful solution, but let me point out Sharyn Craig's Setting Solutions as a design inspiration for the future, too. There is a book by Margret Miller, that is nice, too, but I like Sharyn Craig's better.ReplyDelete
Loving it! Go for the added string blocks, Bonnie!ReplyDelete
I love the string blocks, they are happy and cheery. All the brights make the other blocks also look better than they are. I would go for it.ReplyDelete

"New York Times blog columnist and editor Ron Lieber even says that among all professionals, doctors are some of the most vulnerable to the effects of financial blunders. While they may commit the same mistakes as the rest of the population, the amount of money they make can magnify the effects of these mistakes a few times over.
Several factors can lead to the mismanagement of a doctor's finances, and Lieber cites three of these. First, doctors tend to be impatient with regard to investments, given that they often start late on a flourishing career. Second, Lieber cites doctors' trusting nature, something nurtured by the openness of the medical profession in general."

Going buying girls clothing every season could be a burden. Not since the shopping by itself is hard, but due to the tendency in order to overbuy. There are a lot of choices available for ladies clothes that it's far too simple to buy a lot more than your own infant or even toddler woman truly requirements. A smart method to approach buying toddler ladies clothes or even infant ladies clothes is to create a plan so that as best as possible stick into it.
A nicely constructed strategy could imply the distinction to arriving home sensation good concerning the clothes you purchased and sensation terrible since you bought a lot more than your own daughter requirements. Again. A plan might help guide you straight to the thing you need and how most of them you possess permission to purchase without activating buyer's remorse within the car or in your own home. So arranged yourself down your path and create a plan.
Therefore, you require a plan, but what is the greatest plan? Before you decide to make an agenda, you have to understand that the likelihood of the clothes you purchase this period fitting following year tend to be small. The swimsuit you buy this season will probably not match next 12 months. There is actually some overlap between your seasons, although not year in order to year.
Additionally, buying big to ensure that clothes fit for 2 years truly just indicates clothes are too large one year along with a little tight the following. Buy exactly what fits right now. Your child will thanks.
The next thing in creating a plan is actually understanding your own daughter as well as what she loves to do, in addition to what the household likes to complete. Buying a large heavy skiing jacket is really a little foolish if it does not get truly cold and also the family never rises in the actual mountains in order to play within the snow.
Obviously you would like your daughter to remain as comfortable as your woman can, but end up being reasonable in that which you plan with regard to.
After which, you have to dispassionately assess the kinds associated with clothes your own daughter will have to wear each week. 5-10 covers which is determined by the climate, maybe 6 underside, including trousers, shorts as well as skirts, a few bits of outerwear which will match the growing season and you ought to be arranged.
A collection such as this should permit her to visit daycare, perform with the woman's friends, visit her cousin's home, and even liven up nice about the times she must. Of program, how often your loved ones does washing will impact the quantity of Clothing you have to buy, but something such as the over list ought to allow your own daughter to appear good as well as stay protected without wearing the same day following day.
Obviously, you don't have to buy total sets of completely new clothes each and every season as well as toss away the items you purchased last period. Winter denim jeans work great within the spring without having long under garments underneath all of them. Lighter drop sweaters function just good in winter season with lengthy underwear along with a t-shirt underneath along with a nice comfortable jacket on the top.

Trust takes a lifetime to build to its fullest potential, but can explode in an instant. Ask Brian Williams.
Williams' career reached its pinnacle in December 2004 when he was selected as the Managing Editor and Anchor for the NBC Nightly News program, a job he worked for 23 years to obtain. The NBC Nightly News is watched by over two million Americans to get their daily dose of the world's top news events. These people welcome Brian Williams into their living rooms, and by and large, Williams' ratings and trust levels were high. In fact, he ranked as the 4th most trusted newscaster in an article from Newsmax as recently as January 16, 2015.
Then, two short weeks later on January 30, Mr. Williams shared a story of being under fire when covering the invasion if Iraq as part of his newscast. The next day came the report that Mr. Williams "misremembered" the facts of his experience in 2003. Mr. Williams reported a story he has retold many times in front of television cameras, specifically that he "looked down the barrel of an RPG when traveling by helicopter to a location in Iraq." Several sources, including the pilot of the helicopter that was fired upon and forced to land that day, stepped forward to report that Mr. Williams' was not on his chopper and that Williams' helicopter was at least 30 minutes from the location of the attack. In short, Mr. Williams told a false story, a lie.
He stepped forward and stated that he had "made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago." This wasn't an unfortunate single slip of the tongue. He has retold his tale many times since 2003 in other public and private forums, including the Late Show with David Letterman. Mr. Williams has been suspended without pay for six months and may not be able to recover his trust edge once his suspension is over.
His "misremembering" of his experience reminds me of other infamous "misrecollections":
Hillary Clinton justified her foreign policy experience during the 2008 Presidential primary by sharing an emotionally powerful story. She said "I remember landing under sniper fire in Bosnia." After Barack Obama called her out on this untruth (and journalists found the video to prove it), she explained by offering "I'm only human." We have sadly come to accept this from our elected and appointed officials.
Journalists are rightly held to a higher standard. Jayson Blair (New York Times) and Mike Barnicle (Boston Globe) lost their positions after their "investigative" work was exposed as fabrication, while Janet Cooke (Washington Post) lost her Pulitzer Prize after the eight-year-old heroin addict she reported on never existed. Greg Mortenson, author of the book Three Cups of Tea, was exposed as having fabricated many of the stories that put his book on the best sellers list, and his book sales, charitable foundation and personal credibility all suffered.
What is "misremembering"? Do these public figures really believe that they won't get caught? Are they so narcissistic that they feel their embellishments (or outright lies) are, in fact, the "truth"? Whatever the reason, the phrase "I misremembered" causes the listener to instantly doubt the truth of anything offered by the speaker as truth. Claiming a faulty memory is the fastest way to lose the "Trust Edge."
A Note to Mr. Williams -- How can you rebuild trust?
Your journey back to the Trust Edge starts with a clear and sincere apology. Clarity and character in this moment are critical. You have to own your mistake.
You have to demonstrate compassion for your loyal audience..."I am truly sorry for causing you to lose trust in me."
This has to be followed by a commitment to truth. If you're fortunate enough to get your job back, you have to realize you won't get another chance if you cannot keep all of your trust commitments. You have to stay beyond reproach in every story. Forego the sensational in exchange for the simple truth.
It's a shame that you lost 23 years of your Trust Edge. Start today with clarity, character, compassion and a commitment, and you might get a second chance.
To paraphrase Walter Cronkite, a journalist whose Trust Edge is unquestioned: "That's the way it is."

I am happy to share Wendy Peterson's response to my past meditation, What Is the Jesus Paradox? I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I was delighted to hear from Wendy last week and with her permission share it this week.

Jesus was God and man in this way:
In the English Standard Version of the Bible it states in the initial Book of John: 'In the beginning was The Word and The Word was with God and The Word Was God.' Jesus, of course, is The Word.
However, as in the same way any son separates from his father at conception, Jesus became a separate entity when He was begotten of the Holy Spirit and Our Lady. From then on, Jesus was and is a separate person and personality now seated on the right hand of the Father in Heaven.
Jesus explains this concept further in the first Book of John: 'I want you to be one with me as I am one with the Father.' This is what He meant, earlier, when He stated: 'I and the Father are one' and which a few passages later He explained, I am in the Father and the Father is in Me.'
He and the Father are one spiritually as He wants us to be one with Him, spiritually. We become one with Him spiritually by inviting into our lives the Christ spirit – the resurrected Jesus – as He had the Spirit of God within, and then drinking in His words and digesting them. In one sense, we are what we eat; and, in another sense, what we focus on and believe (we also do) and become.

Since the time of the Desert Fathers in the third century, Finley begins, Christian mystics have practiced meditation as a way of opening to the direct presence of God in daily life.

Petra Kirsch – Gelsenkirchen
Acclaimed Scandinavian prospect Patrick Nielsen, a 21-year-old from Copenhagen who measures up as a 6-foot middleweight with a 73 inch reach, triumphed – as expected – over Gaston Vega at the Arena Nord in Frederikshavn, Denmark on Saturday, April 21. However, Nielsen's tenth round knockout win over the awkward aggressive Vega was not without censure as both fighters engaged in an ugly affair, trading butts, slips and knockdowns.
Kirsch's scorecard
Official verdict: Nielsen by way of tenth round KO.
The reception of the night was reserved for the penultimate bout on the card as local hero Patrick Nielsen, the 2011 Danish boxer of the year, took on brash Argentinean Gaston Vega. It was the visiting prizefighter who had added even more intrigue to the match-up as he angered Nielsen considerably by attending pre-fight conferences dressed in football jersey's from his homeland with the number 11 and The Nielsen Slayer emblazoned on the back… the implication being that the Dane would drop for good in the second to last stanza. The bad blood was evident from the dispatchment of the first shots as both pugilists swung with bad intentions and, the leverage was so mighty, that Nielsen and Vega ended up on the deck. Not because of knockdowns, though, no… because of getting caught off-balance and slipping on the canvas.
Occupying the centre of the ring and boxing with more focus, Nielsen – hoping to make a statement in front of his own fans – was more confident and comfortable in round two but had to eat a stiff shot from a Vega proving to possess moments of threatening behaviour. After the bell, Nielsen continued to throw punches and Vega dropped, theatrically, perhaps looking for a DQ finish. That did not arrive, but the referee deducted a point from both fighters' tallies. Vega not only had to deal with the sanction, but he was also bleeding – profusely – behind the ear in what was a blind spot to his corner as there was no medical attention paid to the laceration.
The motif of a messy, slippy fight continued into the third as the combatants exchanged slips and headbutts. When actual boxing was underway, Nielsen's style was the purer. He had greater precision, power and his check hook gave Vega something to think about. Vega's attempts to turn the bout into a barnburner in round four were negated by Nielsen's forceful punches. Vega may have been the aggressor, but he was crude compared to the more complete nature of Nielsen's approach. He'd stick a two punch move and retreat to the outside, smell blood and return to the pocket to unleash a battering combination but such was his eagerness to land from close range, a further clash of heads occurred.
Frustrated by Vega in the fifth, Nielsen began wrestling the rugged 28-year-old, forcing a warning from the third man in the ring. Nielsen further exposed Vega's one dimensional fighting style as he successfully outboxed him for large portions of the sixth. With his left cheek considerably swelling, Vega appeared beaten by the beginning of play in the seventh and, after a solitary minute, suffered a flash knockdown due to a crouching tiger hidden uppercut. For the remainder of the stanza, Nielsen did a good job in making Vega miss while staggering him onto the ropes with deflating jabs and crushing left hands.
With a mouse under each eye and his assistant second working feverishly over his swellings with the enswell, Vega had no respite in the eighth round as Nielsen pierced Vega's shield with head-bound shots. In the ninth, Nielsen had his man on the deck for the second time in the fight as the South American slumped to the floor in an almost delayed reaction. He took the knee until the eight count but with typical Latino fire, Vega fought with brutish machismo and, astonishingly, rocked and knocked Nielsen down, evening the score for the round. Nielsen finished the round in the finer fashion as he almost turned his opponent's lights off with a chin-bound left hook.
Nielsen got his knockout win in the tenth round, flooring Vega with a big left hand to the temple that was set up with a straight right shot to the chin. The two-punch move kept the defeated on the deck for over a minute and when Vega got to his feet, he was in tears.
Nielsen, conversely, was delighted with the triumph, moved to 14-0-0, 8ko as a result and received the vacant WBA Intercontinental title at 160lbs to add to the IBF youth belt he was rewarded with last year.

There is an unnecessary conflict today in Christianity. We all agree that we are saved by grace through faith, a gift from God and not from ourselves. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Where do we derail and fall into works? We somehow believe in error that works equals self effort. Paul tells us very plainly,
Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children, Ephesians 5:1
The word imitators in Greek is, "mimetai," where we get our word, "mimic." But perhaps the most overlooked word in this verse is the word, "therefore." It is the telling of the means, or source of the imitation. What Paul is saying is, when we are fully convinced of our Father's love. When we have no more doubt, no more fears, no more worries about our Father's unconditional, unchanging love, we will imitate Him, we will love as He loves us simply as fruit of His love.
In Galatians 5, Paul contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit. Notice the difference? Works result from effort. Fruit is simply the result of life. It is effortless.
Our "work" is to bear fruit (John 15:1-17; Matthew 12:33; James 3:18). We are unable to produce, or work up this fruit. It is a gift, the result of life, or in the context of Ephesians 5:1, the simple reflection of the Father's love that has permeated, saturated, and now is overflowing from within our lives. There is no effort involved. It is simply the result of life, God's life in us.
So the next time you feel you need to get up and work for God, work for righteousness, think again. Right believing produces right living. It's not the other way around!
But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, Romans 3:21-22
Beloved, Christ has done all the work for you. His supply always supersedes our needs. His greatest joy is serving you. He is always looking for opportunities to bless you. Only when we rest in Him, and put our faith in Him and not in our own efforts can His life freely produce all He desires for us. Rest in Jesus' love for you. Consent to His unfailing love and watch the fruit grow.

"I had to reset everything and go back to the basics, … You have to crawl before you walk, walk before you run, and (the knee) was all new to me."
-Darrell Campbell
Hello fellow Blackberry users!
If you are a 'power' user of your blackberry like me, then you might be experiencing frequent freezing and hanging of your blackberry smartphone. The freezing and hanging simply is that annoying moment when your phone is inaccessible or unusable by you even though the phone is in your hands.
There are a couple of actions to take to reduce the frequency of the freezing and hanging.
One way of resetting your Blackberry smartphone is by removing the battery of the phone and putting it back in this spot. Although this works, the only issue with it is that it is not neat enough.
Now imagine you are in middle of a discussion or meeting and you notice your Blackberry is freezing, you won't make a good impression by removing your battery. Therefore in times like this you need a cleaner method.
The other way of resetting your phone is by holding down the "alt key" + the "right shift key" + the "del key" for about 4 seconds.
It's that simple.
Save yourself from those embarrassing moments.

If you wear glasses and think it's really foggy or unclear when driving on your way to work in the morning, first check that you are, in fact, wearing your glasses. You may find the unclear driving conditions are due to leaving your glasses on the kitchen counter, and not having them on your face.
Consider the extra drive to and from work "practice", and try getting more sleep.

So my cousin just sent me the news.
I can't say I'm surprised but I can say that I'm mourning the loss of him here. Till the end he was an amazing teacher full of jokes and faith. I love him very much and I am glad that he is taking a bit of a rest.
Thank you President Faust.
Thank you for living a beautiful honorable life and helping us see how easy and possible it is. Thank you for being able to love a world full of people through a satellite and microphone and countless acts of service. I am better for knowing you and hearing your voice and feeling the power of your calling and your faith through it. Thank you for hanging in so long so that we all could say goodbye.
Thank you for being true.
Your friend,

Freedom through Paint
I haven't been writing this week because I've been painting. Sometimes my feelings, thoughts, and struggles are easier to express in paint than they are through words. So, below are my very first entries into a Nashville art show contest. I have no idea of knowing whether they'll actually be accepted into the show especially given the overt personal spiritual statements that I provided with each one. But, they are complete, and the entry is in the mail! I feel great, like I have done all that I can do and, if nothing else, there's a good piece of my struggles that have been released into the works.
I would love to know your thoughts/feedback on the work if you have an opinion.
August 1, 2010 12:17 pm
LOVE love love. I don't know a ton about art in general, but I know these are pleasing to my eyes!

Very cool stuff Ben. I love the color of the long painting. It's a great contrast between the color and the black drawing of the church. It's minimal but the colors and subject make it a bold work.
I like the use of the bible pages as canvas on the other. The almost stenciled like churches are nice as well. I'd like to see the stenciled-ness of the church be exaggerated even more. And while the centered layout is powerful, I think a different layout could make it more interesting.
Keep it up!

"I don't want you to turn cartwheels or do anything as demonstrative as that, Watson, but I do believe I'm in love," said Holmes, a little coyly as I watered a pot plant on his window-sill from a small jug whilst simultaneously skilfully launching my bowler towards his hat-stand. I missed, which was no surprise considering what he had just said.
Holmes was, in my opinion, incapable of loving anyone but himself.
"You are in love?" I asked, hoping that the repetition would be more believable than its origin.
"I am indeed, Watson," he beamed at me as he stood by the window with the sort of smile on his face that I never want to see again. You know what it is with smiles … some are patently genuine and you want to join in and smile with the smiler, and others are as artificial as torn paper snow in June.
"I don't understand, Holmes," I spluttered.
"Then retrieve your bowler from where it is lying on the floor and come with me," he instructed.
In a kind of daze I did as he told me, and we went down the stairs, Holmes taking them in twos as if consumed with some unearthly joy whilst I struggled to keep up.
"It's breakfast, Mr Holmes," called Mrs Hudson, holding a laden tray and swirling her pinafore as she tried to intercept us.
"Later, Mrs Hudson," ordered Holmes, ungratefully.
Baker Street was quiet. Even though the first crack of dawn had long departed and noon threatened on the horizon, there were few people about. It was that false quiet between rush hours. The workers had found their shops after last-minute scurries and were standing by their counters ready for any rush that might come their way, and the shoppers were examining their purses, pulling on their street-wear and preparing to buy those little necessities that shoppers require.
"This way, Watson," ordered Holmes, and we walked swiftly along the pavement, passing every other pedestrian as we went, even almost pushing some to one side in our haste.
Our walk was but brief, for we arrived at the Underground station and almost fell down its steps as we found our way to the platform.
"Which train, Holmes?" I asked, almost spluttering as a result of breathlessness.
"No train, Watson," he replied, "we're not going anywhere. We've come to see the most gorgeous sight that ever plagued a man's vision!"
"What? In the dark of the underground? Really Holmes!" I ejaculated.
"Come here," he murmured, and pulled me into a small subterranean office.
There was a sign that indicated that lost luggage could be collected there, and a greasy old man lurking behind a counter with what looked like a lascivious expression on his face as he fumbled in a Gladstone bag that seemed to contain no more than delicate silk garments, the sort that ladies of high station like to feel against their gossamer skin, and I had to look away, shocked at such a display of multifarious obscenity.
"Is Miss Jones here?" demanded Holmes in an authoritative voice, slapping his walking cane against the counter.
"Miss Jones oooh?" asked the greasy uniform.
"The young lady I saw yesterday when I was making enquiries about the collection of umbrellas you store here, and whether there was one in puce with the monogram SH on it?"
"They've gorn," was his reply.
"What have gorn … gone?" demanded Holmes.
"The umbrellas. All of 'em. It's a mystery to me, but some fellow must've collected 'em, not that there were many to collect. And that Miss Jones woman you're on about, who's she?" He winked at me knowingly as if I was party to a great secret. "She don' work 'ere … there's on'y me for my sins."
"But…" Holmes was suddenly flustered. I'd never seen him so flustered, and I've known him for some years and witnessed him in many dark moods and darker situations. "But I made enquiries of her only yesterday. And such a sweet creature! Not young, you understand, not a flibbertigibbet of a creature with a nose for trouble … her nose was the sweetest thing I've seen, and the fragrance of her … it was quite captivating!"
"Eh? What was 'er voice like? What did she sound like when she verbalised?" asked the greasy uniform, accenting the trisyllabic conclusion to his question as if to illustrate the fact the he was far from ignorant when it came to the English language, and winking playfully at me.
"I don't recall her actually speaking," replied Holmes, "but she was standing where you are, and I rarely did see such a smile. It was like the windows of Heaven were opened, and she was smiling down on me…"
I had never heard such eloquence from Holmes, who seldom seemed to notice anything charming or attractive about his female clients. This was a new him, and I was astounded.
"Holmes, really!" I stammered.
"Oh, you mean 'er as 'olds the sign," said the uniform, and his crinkled face broke into a certain smile. "When I'm about my lunch," he added, "I needs my lunch, for ten hours without it an' I'm weaker than a dyin' dog!"
"You mean, you employ a lady to hold a notice?" almost shouted Holmes, "then where is she, man! I have a proposition to put to her, one that would most certainly be to her advantage…"
"She ain't 'ere, squire," came the reply, "though in a manner of speakin' she is!"
"Now you're speaking in riddles!" snapped Holmes, "and there's no man more at home with riddles than Sherlock Holmes!"
"You say as she picked and poked in the lost umbrella section?" asked the smiling greasy uniform.
"I did. Well almost!"
"And was she the young lady with a short skirt, a naughty little frilly thing on 'er, one as shows 'er stockings an' captivating little waist, an' with a whole plume o' feathers on 'er pretty 'ead?"
"So you have seen her!" laughed Holmes, "Why, fellow, you are a card, to have the great Sherlock Holmes fooled like you have! Pray, where is she?"
"She ain't, so to speak," grinned the other.
"Speak no more riddles. Where is she?" asked Holmes in his most imperious voice.
"If you must know, she's 'ere, behind this 'ere counter, waiting till she's called for," replied the man, still grinning broadly, and I could tell by all the clues he was casting to every corner of that small office with every twitch of his grin that something was about to upset Holmes very much indeed.
"Then release her to greet me!" snapped Holmes.
"Orl right," sniffed the other, "'ave it your own way, but you ain't goin' to be none too pleased…"
And he reached down and pulled up a life-sized shop's mannequin with its face painted luridly and dressed after the manner of the sort of showgirl who decorates the music halls nightly. And on her head, as if to stress the point, was a cascade of feathers the like of which would make even a sinner blush.
"This 'ere is Annie Jones, an' she's been 'ere with me since I were young enough to want to kiss 'er," grinned the man. "But she's just a plaster creature with no feelings, so that's all right. I keep 'er to hold my sign when I'm called away. Now about that umbrella? Puce, you said, wiv a monogram?"
Holmes was to be poor company for the rest of that day!

Just like we did on the other day
We chased a shadow on the wall,
A tree's bough waving gracefully
To its own original under the sky.
Just like then ,during and before
We had lived in the great tummy
A cave where we had felt comfy
And the shadows never touched.
We were other's shadows born
From a fleeting glimpse of love
In darkness that would precede
Our own preternatural existence.
As shadows do not cast shadows.
They will stop waving on a wall
When we are dust and a shadow
Of a shadowy former existence.

This guide assumes that you have a DVB TV tuner that is supported in Linux. Check here to see if your card is supported.
First, visit the freeview site to find your nearest transmitter. Type in your postcode and the transmitter is listed in the panel on the right.
You'll need to make sure ubuntu-restricted-extras and dvb-utils are installed:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras dvb-utils
Finally, type the command below to scan your nearest transmitter for channels. Ensure you replace "uk-Oxford" with "uk-" and the location of the transmitter that the freeview website listed:
scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/uk-Oxford > ~/.gstreamer-0.10/dvb-channels.conf
If this process does not complete, try a different transmitter location.
Start Totem, and you should be able to select Movie -> "Watch TV on 'DVB Adapter 0′" in the top menu to start watching TV. The channels will be listed in your playlist panel.
An alternative to using Totem is a Gnome TV application called "MeTV", which is more geared for TV viewing. The trade-off is that it is less integrated with the Ubuntu desktop, and some people may also find the mouse-only interface frustrating. I recommend you try both and pick the one that suits you.

Its unfortunate I didn't take any pictures the first two weeks, but I clearly forgot I had a camera until about Tuesday. this is a shame because our chefs welcome photography in class (having a photo can be a great memory aid for studying and reviewing later), and many of my classmates even videotape demonstrations. I, however, was content taking notes, until I realized that chances are one day I might wish I had something to remind me exactly what a certain dish was supposed to look like, or exactly how the chef went about performing a particular task. So, I dug out the 'ol camera.
Unfortunately I don't have a photo of my dessert from patisserie this week, which isn't such an oversight considering class ran overtime, and in my rush to finish quickly and get to the cafeteria before it closed (unsuccessful) the presentation wasn't what it should have been. But, think homemade puff pastry with a layer of pastry cream and topped with fresh peaches, strawberries, and figs.
But besides that, here's a quick visual summary of my week:
And to prove I survived the class….my finished dishes:
This was a rather long post….I'll continue with regular updates of what's going on in class each week, but I can't promise they'll all be this image-heavy. At any rate, I'll try to have some record of what I'm learning!
Will be back sometime this weekend with another food update….stay tuned for the run-down on our Provence regional menu we'll be completing tomorrow 🙂

This time, on the defensive side:
California is already notorious for its strict regulations on firearms, but now one public servant in the golden state wants to take that prohibition-happy mindset in a new direction by banning body armor.
The bill, H.R. 5344, the Responsible Body Armor Possession Act of 2014, comes from Rep. Michael Honda, a San Jose Democrat, and it would "prohibit the purchase, ownership, or possession of enhanced body armor by civilians, with exceptions." That is to say, Honda wants to treat innocent civilians like convicted felons…
"This bill will keep military body armor out of the wrong hands," Honda said. "It would ensure that only law enforcement, firefighters and other first responders would be able to access enhanced body armor."
They never learn. Have all the various "assault weapon" laws kept powerful firearms "out of the wrong hands?" I thought not. In a similar fashion, the proposed legislation may increase the cost of doing business for criminal elements trying to "up armor," but it won't stop organized (and even unorganized) crime from obtaining whatever tools it seeks. It will, however, constrain the choices of peaceful, law-abiding citizens trying to find the best ways to protect themselves in an increasingly dangerous world.
Let's not mince words here. Both in this instance, and in cases of gun control legislation, the main factor at work is government trying to impose a monopoly on the use of force. Any force. As citizens, we accept that monopoly in the area of justice/retribution (such as punishment, prison and execution) in return for the promise of a more orderly society, free from vigilantism. The Founders, however, never intended for government to be the only entity able to resort to violence — hence, the Second Amendment. They were not foolish enough to think that "a government of men over men" was immune to the temptations inherent in having a monopoly on force. Indeed, some of them seem to have expected that the citizens might have to remind their government of the individual's inherent sovereignty from time to time.
That's why it's a mistake to take proposed legislation such as this ban on private ownership of body armor as an isolated issue. It's not. Across the country, from the Federal to local governments (depending on where you live), governments are seeking to constrain the individual's ability to arm and defend him/herself. (Often in the name of 'protecting the children,' of course.) By seeking to keep such implements only in "the right hands" (i.e. the powers that be), these efforts make everyone completely dependent upon the capacity and intent of government to protect them.
Capacity and intent. First, does anyone believe that in a life-and-death situation, 9-1-1 will provide a response faster than your own resources? And while it's still considered impolite to point this out, what if you're the victim of a mistaken 'no-knock raid?' Maybe you wouldn't be inclined to shoot back at midnight intruders. Fine. Consider that this bill would deny you even the armor protection to investigate what's happening in your own home. And if you were a law-abiding resident of, say, Ferguson, Missouri, wouldn't you like the option to have something more to protect you than your shirt or jacket? Second, in terms of intent, what seems to be the priorities of law enforcement these days: protecting citizenry, or the less-dangerous functions of enhancing revenue?
Criminals can abuse any legitimate tool available to a citizen. Keep that in mind when such bans are proposed.
I'll repeat for emphasis: government at every level is asserting that theirs are the only "right hands" for various implements of life and death. Given the behavior, credibility and trustworthiness of government in general over the past couple of decades, are you willing to grant such a monopoly?

Αρχαϊκή επική ποίηση [Archaic epic poetry]
D. N. Maronitis & L. D. Polkas
Edition: 2007
Pages: 302
The book is an introduction to archaic epic poetry, focusing on the two Homeric epics, and is intended as an aid to their teaching in junior high school. The Introduction sets out the wider context of Homeric poetry: it traces Homer's identity and the epics' putative relationship to history. It provides commentary on the style and the language of the epics, their mode of composition, presentation and reception as well as commentary on the similarities and differences between the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Part One of the book identifies the terms and suggests definitions of the Homeric narrative. It distinguishes myth from the plot of the two epics and technique from their artistry. It presents the well- and lesser-known singers (aoidoi) of the Iliad and the Odyssey, which are the precursors of rhapsodists. The authors delineate the features of traditional singing in comparison with and in contradistinction to the external narrative of the poet and the internal accounts of the heroes.
Part Two discusses the narratological problem of the role of the Homeric gods, i.e., whether, in addition to their religious role, they fulfil a poetic function as well by determining (or co-determining along with the poet) the unfolding of the myth and, most importantly, of the plot of the Homeric epics. The poetic role of the Muses is investigated first, followed by that of the Olympian gods.
Part Three of the book is devoted to Homeric virtuousness. Virtue, the most significant indicator of the Homeric heroes' ethos, defines the level of Homeric culture both in a war and a post-war context. Finally, glory emerges as a core element of Homeric virtue, which is transformed in the passage from warlike and dramatic Iliad to post-war and post-dramatic Odyssey.D. N. Maronitis was one of the leading Greek philologists, professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and member of the Board of Directors of the Institute of Modern Greek Studies. Lambros Polkas is a classical philologist.

Holy Eucharist teachings - The Work of God Apostolate
Holy Eucharist - Blessed Sacrament teachings
548 Saint Joseph of Cupertino
Talking about his great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament:
"When Jesus was here on earth. It was not a great worth to believe in him. But now it is a great worth because we do not see him and yet we believe that he is present in this wonderful Sacrament."
610 Testimony - St Joseph of Cupertino
Joseph had great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. On one occasion he was travelling with another priest and they entered a small village. On going into the Church, the other priest wondered whether the Blessed Sacrament was reserved there. Joseph commented that he did not know and with that he cried aloud and flew (in levitation) towards the tabernacle and adored the Blessed Sacrament which he miraculously knew to be present.

The 2017 silver Scorpion bullion coins are individually encapsulated and have a mintage limit of 50,000 pieces. Images courtesy of Scottsdale Mint. Bullion coins like the Panda or Koala depict cute native animals, but a new silver bullion coin issued by Scottsdale Mint brings a bit of a sting. The Deathstalker Scorpion 1-ounce .999 fine silver coin, denominated 500 francs CFA and issued for Chad, is now available from Scottsdale Mint. The Brilliant Uncirculated coin is housed in a capsule and has a mintage limit of 50,000 pieces. According to Scottsdale, the coin "features a small, yet horrifying creature you should hope to never encounter in real life." Connect with Coin World: Sign up for our free eNewsletter Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter The deathstalker scorpion is an excellent hunter and employs a host of nightmarish features to survive in the harsh desert climates it populates. It is nocturnal and hunts its prey by stalking and then ambushing from a dark crevice, using its pincers to subdue and weaken its victim before injecting poison from a barbed venomous tail stinger. It has a multiple sets of eyes, and on all of its legs tiny hairs help detect vibrations in the ground from the slightest movements of its prey. The poison is a cocktail of neurotoxins and cardiotoxins, which can cause catastrophic heart and breathing issues for the unlucky recipient. Despite the menacing name, the deathstalker scorpion's sting rarely kills a human, but it's still incredibly painful and medical attention is advised. Scientists have discovered the venom has a potential to treat human cancer tumors due its content of a substance called chlorotoxin. Other compounds are helpful in treating the effects of diabetes. The reverse of the 2017 coin shows the scorpion, tale poised to strike, against a pebbly, grainy background meant to mimic the sandy desert. The obverse of the coin displays the seal of the Republic of Chad, the issuing monetary authority for this coin that bears a face value of 500 francs CFA. The coin is currently available through Scottsdale's eBay store for approximately a 33 percent premium over the spot or precious metal price. No other distributors were offering the coins as of press time Sept. 13.

text: I lived in Chicago for a couple years for grad school, and I definitely miss it at times – like the middle of the summer when there's a festival every weekend and the Lake Michigan shore is packed. Here are a few of my favorite scenes: the view from the top of the John Hancock Building, Blues from the south side of the City, and the "bean" in Millenium Park. The shot of Mike playing sax brings back some entertaining memories… he'd flown back from Spain to play with Billy Branch (who is an amazing Chicago artist, some may recognize him from the movie "Adventures in Babysitting"). I was down in this out of the way bar I jumped to after a photo shoot with an event I supposed to shoot fell through, and fell into this by pure luck. I met Mike and some other guys playing with Billy (which was truly amazing), but in the most unlikely place. I remember guys sitting at a plywood bar cut by a bandsaw, in full suits and like you would have seen 80 years ago. I got a whiskey sour with a rotten cherry and sat down next to a guy with a duffle bag at his feet. I asked him what was in the bag – so he pulls it up and shows me that its full of aligator skin wallets… still in the box from Marshall Fields. He tries to sell me one, but I politely decline. Then he offers to put me on commision ($10 each) if I help him sell the wallets in the bar. We end up chatting a bit and he tells me he's a poet. He wrote a poem called "Gift of Tears" that he's trying to get on Oprah Winfrey's show (he believes he'll get something like 20 grand if she reads it). I ask him to read it to me – he says no, but he'll sell me the poem for $10! Gotta love Chicago.

Movie Review: Cars, 2006
First things first: Cars isn't as good as The Incredibles. As Pixar's follow-up to Brad Bird's 2004 tour-de-force was doomed to comparison and doomed to suffer by it. We will never be fortunate enough to live in a world where every animated movie is as good as The Incredibles. But against other Pixar films, such as A Bug's Life or even Toy Story, Cars holds up well. It certainly surpasses Dreamwork's best efforts, including the much-touted Shrek (Sorry, I'm not a fan).
Cars once again demonstrates both Pixar's incredible technical savvy as well as their knack for storytelling. To do this movie right, Pixar had to design a world where there are cars but no people. They had to make this world both natural and familiar. They also had to transpose emotions onto objects. They manage these challenges wonderfully, and viewers will quickly accept the reality the film offers. The casting is a big help in this. Paul Newman, Owen Wilson and Michael Keaton lend their distinctive voices to the main characters and that counts for a lot in an animated film.
The storyline is familiar enough, but that's forgivable in a movie that primarily meant for children, and the animation is more than stunning enough to make up for any predictability. My message is, don't go in expecting the depth, character or excitement of the Incredibles, but do go in expecting to be entertained and visually blown away. If I can help just on person skew their expectations correctly, I'll have done my job.
Me vs. Roger Ebert: Roger enjoyed Cars every bit as much as I did, and added some thoughts about the sense of loss the film conveys beneath its sparkle (wish I'd thought to mention that). He agrees that it's no Incredibles, but what could be?

T.O.P is hot in Turn It Up
June 24, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
My love for Koreans are growing after getting influenced by all the Korean dramas that I'm watching or interested in. First saw T.O.P appear in IRIS and thought he was cool. Watched the music video for his solo debut "Turn It Up" and wow, he's irresistable.
Solo track: Turn it up in HD
Most Korean songs sound alike but it's still good. Sounds exceptionally good with the hot visual aid.
