So, let me ask you a question…
What makes you mad?
Can you provide an example?
Really any time I see someone looking down on others, or they feel they are above someone simply because of some sort of shallow asset they may possess.
Or there's the form of arrogance where if their views of their views are not followed, then they lash out with mocking or sarcasm. There's many forms of arrogance. Many ways it's displayed too. But it's the thing that ticks me off the quickest!
I don't have much tolerance for people who think they are better because of their "stuff".
Ah, snappity snap snap. Me neither. Infuriates me lol. If you don't see everyone as equal, then we just won't get along.
Little stuff isn't anger inducing, and who among us hasn't told a little lie or lie of omission? Probably more frequently than we'd all be willing to admit. And I have told some whoppers over the years, to protect a friend, or get myself outta the weeds. But, I'm loyal, trustworthy, and if told to not tell anyone, short of something as severe as murder or something, would stay with me to the grave. Trust isn't something that comes easily for me, and if it's broken, it's nearly impossible to gain back from me. I guess saying untrustworthy, disloyal people, rather than being lied to, wouldve been a more appropriate answer.
Rudeness, being hungry, bullying, missing breakfast, intolerance, someone touching my food 🙂
When people avoid telling me the truth. If I ask them to be honest and the believe if they are they will hurt me, I get angry. They think they are protecting me when really they are disrespecting me.
Injustice. I cannot stand it. It really enrages me. Other things too, but this is the first thing that comes to mind.
I get it. What gets me is when someone uses the justice system to get out of something. I know the system isn't perfect and I hope that everyone gets what they deserve in the end.
All injustice – I do not believe in categorizing it because then there is the possibility of overlooking one area of the concern.
Interesting. That seems like a very broad category to be mad about. Do you find yourself getting more angry over certain instances?
If I had to choose the two top instances, it would be both social and racial injustices.
There's so much to it. You're correct in saying that it is a broad subject area though.
Nosy Nellies who ask too many questions!
Just kidding…
Being told to RELAX!!!
That really sets my revenge plots going!
I'm not the person to get mad very easily… but what rubs me raw… is when there is lack of unnecessary communication from someone you trusted to be a friend and be mature enough to be communicative with you..about an issue that needs to be addressed..
I find it so irritating when they think instead of coming forward and let you know what the position and reasons is behind the situation at hand… they choose to hide and dodge you… until you have to resolved it on a bad note…
and there ends a friendship that didn't have to end…
yeah!!! that gets me mad…
Fake/pretentious people, any abuse towards humans and animals, condescending people, managers who micromanage, bad drivers, when they mess up my order, etc.
Mad: kids that don't listen, going to the doctor's office 10 mins before appt time and not seeing the doctor until 30 mins after your appointment time and then seeing the dr for 10 mins. and its an hour drive there. Traffic, or more like idiots that don't know how to drive!!! Sit and stopping at a green light cause people can't accelerate. I'm sure there's more, but I'll keep the list short.
Giving my all and getting nothing back. Other things: inhumane actions, pedophiles, racists, and people who lack love for others.
Willfully stupid people. That covers all of the above complaints without me having to type them.
It is tough when this happens. My opinion…I try to surround myself with people who don't have this behavior. In my many years on Earth I have learned to invest my energy into people who reciprocate.
As much as I want to agree with you, I think at some point people do take you for granted.. it may be momentary or what so ever, when they reach that level of comfort, they think it is okay.. it's about how we deal with it I guess..
In that light yes, I guess at some point every person is going to get comfortable around you. Then, as you said, it is up to how we deal with that. If we allow ourselves to get mad over that, then we will be mad constantly.
What kind of injustice? That is a huge topic with hundreds of types of injustice committed around the world.
Treating people differently. It is shameful the way the rich treat us without money as peasants not worth their notice.
I guess I see your point, but it is all relative. I'm sure there are homeless people who would say the same about me. It's tough for me to have a strong opinion on this one because to some extent we all do this.
My ex was in the Marine Corps and you do NOT overstep your boundaries there. There is a clear separation. At least there was.
Mad. Many things. But strange I never thought about this so I cannot remember many things I get mad about but trust me, I get mad over a lot of things! For now I can remember- people making noises when they eat, fake people, oh this one! When people underestimate the value of arts, humanities, when people equate crying with weakness. There are more but I don't want to think I guess😁
Lying has been mentioned several times so I'll make a corollary to that. I hate when people argue against facts with either emotions or something they read in a Meme or other fake source. Defending your position using something fake and ill-conceived makes you appear ignorant.
On this topic, Don, I have learned from Descartes. I try not to ever speak about something to which I don't have knowledge. Therefore I ask questions to try and learn. Most people I encounter are quickly revealed to not know as much as they let on, especially when I ask them to cite their source. Questions uncover a lot and often I can tell they are a little embarrassed. They simply are not educated and informed.

» Post Properties Inc. Q3 2009 Earnings Call Transcript
I'll now begin the business of this call. The company produced better-than-expected operating results in the second quarter, with FFO before impairment charges of $0.37 per share. Earlier this year, we laid out ways we intended to drive earnings in cash flow and that effort is paying off. We're taking advantage of improving conditions to push rents and occupancy.We're stabilizing our properties and lease up in order to optimize their contribution to cash flow and are moving non-earning land assets into production or sale and mitigating the risks going forward of the condominium business , all while maintaining a strong and liquid balance sheet. Based on performance to-date and expectations for the rest of the year, we raised earnings guidance for 2010 in a meaningful way. Turning to same-store results, we produced 1% sequential increase in revenues in the second quarter and a 3% sequential increase in net operating income. Both, average rents and occupancy were up sequentially for the three months ended June 30. The positive sequential revenue trend continued in July. Rents on both new and renewed leases are increasing on average compared to the in place rent roll and at 95.2% in the second quarter, average economic occupancy is as high as it has been in nearly two years. The outlook for supply and a demand in our markets remained favorable. In addition to driving revenue, we've also held the line on expenses, with particular success renewing insurance coverage and appealing property taxes. The core portfolio which is the most important contributor to earnings and cash flow is positioned well. Building on the improving outlook for our business, we announced the development of Phase 2 of Post Carlyle Square. This project is a companion to a successful Phase I. It is located the in the submarket of Alexandria, Virginia that has been more resilient through the latest economic cycle.
Because of the strong rents at Phase I and favorable construction pricing, we expect to produce an attractive return even using underwriting that does not depend on future rent increases. This development will be a high quality addition to post Washington, D.C. footprint delivering apartment units beginning in 2012. We expect to fund the development at least initially through line borrowings and from the proceeds of condominium sales.As conditions for multi-family strengthens across our markets, we are assessing each existing land position for future development, none though would start before 2011. Two parts of land are currently under contract to sell with closings that may occur later this year. In our condominium business, we've so far closed 23 units at the Austin Project and recorded the impairment charge discussed in past calls in our SEC filings. The company's basis in condominiums represents less than 5% of gross asset value. Negotiations continue on specific proposals to resolve the construction loan of the Buckhead condominium project. In the meantime, we're completing construction, furnishing the amenity spac es and opening an onsite sales office. We have a number of reservations with prospective buyers. Finally, we're wrapping up the work on the exterior remediation program within the original budget. The company's line of credit capacity continues to be sufficient and coverage ratios are improving modestly. We've issued very little stock under the at the market equity program , mindful of the share price, cost to capital and use of proceeds. We are comfortable with the condition of the balance sheet and with our ability to refinance debt as it matures and to fund committed investments. As we look over the remainder of this year and into next, we are optimistic about the state of our business. That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, please open the phones lines for Q&A.
Question-and-Answer SessionOperator (Operator Instructions). Our first question comes from Michael Salinsky with RBC Capital Markets. Michael Salinsky - RBC Capital Markets Good morning, guys. Dave, I don't know if I caught this in the prepared remarks, but did you give the rates for new leases as well as renewals during the quarter. And also just if you could give us a sense of how this trended in July? Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

A step-by-step guide to maximising the performance of your customer's data centre with virtualisation.
We outline, step by step, how you can help your customers to get the maximum output from their resources so their businesses can achieve more with less.
IT departments are challenged with supporting the overarching digital strategy for their organisations. This moves beyond simple IT requirements and towards an emphasis on customer experience and using data as a core valuable asset. But with the number of applications and servers increasing all of the time, data centres have been placed under great strain.
Server virtualisation is helping to ease the burden on these data centres. One of the biggest strengths of server virtualisation is an increase in resource utilisation and performance. This subsequently leads to savings on operational costs and increased efficiencies.
The following is a guide for partners to optimise their customer's server virtualisation solution, taking them further towards and deliver greater capacity, uptime and run-time for legacy applications.
Step one: analysis
Server virtualisation has to provide a solution to a customer's problem, or provide them with a platform to improve their existing capabilities. A customer who does not have a server virtualisation solution installed needs its existing workloads on physical servers analysed.
This will enable you, as a partner, to know what kind of resources are needed, what kind of server power and how much storage you would need to virtualise those servers.
Step two: right-sizing
One of the biggest issues for your customers is their inability to accurately right-size the virtual machine from a power and memory perspective, while maintaining performance on existing applications. Insufficient or over-committed resources may cause virtual machines (VM) to fail immediately. The result can be business downtime for your customers, leading to financial loss, reputational damage and even difficult recovery.
As a partner, you can counter this lack of in-house capability and specify the right virtualised systems for your customers and their business. It would up to you to take an in-depth look at how the VMs are being used and then align the servers and the virtualisation resources in accordance. It may also be worth performing a capacity planning exercise immediately to ensure that the amount of computer power and the size of the storage are both correct.
Step three: getting bandwidth up to date
The right environment can also be extended to the network. For server virtualisation to be a success, your customers need to have adequate network bandwidth. The intention of virtualising servers is to help your customers to do more, with less and without their performance being compromised.
Partners aim to improve efficiency by moving their customers to server virtualisation, however there is still only a finite amount of network traffic that the physical box can handle. Partners need to overcome these bandwidth limitations if they are to maximise server resources for their customers.
Step four: staff training
To get the most out of server virtualisation and to avoid many of the pitfalls, it is critical that you and your team are trained, particularly when it comes to deployment. You will need to work closely with your customers to share this information, helping to educate them so they can virtualise more of their servers on demand when their business requires it.
Customers are often looking for external expertise in areas in which they do not have the resources to hire or train staff, and it is critical that you can show that you have the right certifications and can be relied upon by the end user.
So make sure your team is fully trained and can share their knowledge with your customer's in-house team, particularly when it comes to the core virtualisation platform, as well as issues such as security, capacity management and maximising resources.
Step five: undergoing an optimisation assessment
It's important not to be complacent. Once a customer is up and running with server virtualisation, your job as a partner is not done. To think your job as being complete would mean missing out on potential upsell and cross-sell opportunities that come off the back of server virtualisation.
It is crucial to keep engaging with your customer, and to ensure that they're making the most of their new setup. You can assess your customer's environment, look at their capacity and memory and report back to them how much they have left. This way you know where the next opportunities are to sell to your customers.
Step six: management
Customers may be more interested in managing their solution themselves, rather than having a partner come in to undertake an optimisation assessment.
This is because it can be a big stumbling block for customers to understand what is happening 'underneath the bonnet' of the solution, and this means they aren't able to push the boundaries of what is possible.
Virtualisation management tools can help the customer to understand how much capacity they have left, see which virtual machines are idle, search for machines that aren't using resources and even predict into the future how much resources the customer will need. It is your job to know whether the customer is seeking this capability, and if so, helping them to pick a new management solution that can deal with their needs.
Step seven: Speaking to your customers about software-defined data centres
Virtualisation can only go so far, unless your customers are ready to take the next step with their data centre. If they are, the opportunities to increase and maximise their performance become numerous. After all, virtualisation is the very building block of software-defined data centres, enabling your customers to grow and improve their environments bit by bit.
If your customers aren't ready to talk about SDDC yet, it is the responsibility of you, the partner, to emphasise the benefits that they're missing out on. Begin with software-defined networking (SDN)...
Step eight: Using SDN to provision network services
SDN is an architecture that alters how a network is designed, managed and operated – making it more practical and reliable. The key differentiator between SDN and traditional networking is the centralised controller that offers a complete end-to-end view of the entire network and everything encompassed within it (including device capabilities, and network paths).
Software-defined networking (SDN) is an important part of the overarching software-defined data centre (SDDC) proposition. It can help customers who are struggling with large data centre networks that don't easily support the requirements of server virtualisation.
Network managers currently have to manually provision network and security resources to new or migrated virtual machines, which can be painstaking and time-consuming. SDN can solve this issue as it enables the swift provisioning of network services to virtual machines in a data centre environment.
This maximises performance as a virtualised network helps your customers to remain up and running, and to quickly resolve any issues that could cause business disruptions. They can also move their virtual machines between data centres, giving them flexibility and agility in their day-to-day processes.
It's likely that your customers are already aware of the initial benefits of server virtualisation, but they're still not getting the maximum resource from their servers. As their trusted advisor, there are a number of steps you should follow to help your customers understand their current capacity, how to improve it and how they can do a lot more throughout their business with a lot less.
By maximising their server resources, you will be helping your customers to become more efficient, cut operational costs, achieve independence and scale on-demand, according to the needs of the business.
Many of the stumbling blocks that customers have been faced with have new solutions; partners should be able to identify the customer's requirements and suggest a solution that meet or exceed their expectations. For example, software-defined networking (SDN) can be used to provision network services and also act as the next step to moving towards a software-defined data centre.
- Build a picture of your customer's current server capabilities - what is the capacity, how much room do they have left, how are they currently performing? Once this has been determined, you will be able to define what your customer needs to do to maximise their server resources with virtualisation.
- Specifying the right size for your customer's servers is a crucial step, helping them to get the right power and memory the first time round. When considering sizing, you need to think about their current needs, but more crucially, their future needs and requirements.
- Complete staff training sessions for your customer's virtualisation team, as well as your own team of partners. Successful deployment is one thing, but if your customers don't know how to use their server resources to their best availability, then virtualisation can be rendered ineffective.
- Equip your customers with the right management tools. They need to understand what's happening underneath the bonnet of their solutions in order to push the boundaries further. As a partner, you can also increase your revenue by selling this critically important add-on.
- SDN enables the swift provisioning of network services to virtual machines in a data centre - a stumbling block for enterprises with existing virtualised servers. This can help them with the next step towards a SDDC

Morgan Minyard, an Amissville resident and 2010 graduate of Highland School, recently completed the requirements to letter in equestrian sports through the United States Equestrian Federation's (USEF) High School Equestrian Athletes program.
Minyard has been participating in the new USEF program during her senior year. During this time she balanced her riding, showing and practice with her academic pursuits — and playing, as one of the two returning seniors, on Highland's varsity softball team.
She also completed the requirements for the program to be retroactive to her freshman year, receiving a varsity team letter, certificate and year pin for each year from USEF.
The riding and competition hours requirement are long, not counting routine care of the horse or equipment maintenance. All riding and competition hours had to be logged, results of any competitions noted and participation verified.
Minyard uses her own horse, Sally, an off-the-track thoroughbred whose show name is Flirting With Disaster. Minyard competes in hunter jumpers, jumpers and 4H events and trains with Sandi Deisterhoft of Capstone Farm and Monique Bernardo of Highpoint Farm.
She will continue riding with Roanoke College this fall.

AMSTERDAM — Viewers want violent programming banned during the Christmas holidays, according to a study by Research Intl. commissioned by UPC Broadband.
The survey polled 5,000 people in 11 countries covered by UPC's parent, cable-broadband outfit UnitedGlobalCom Europe, including France, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Norway and Sweden. It found 66% didn't want to watch violent shows at this time of year.
The younger the respondents, the more violence was acceptable, with the exception of Sweden and Romania, where the majority polled did not mind violence on TV during the holiday season.
Some 70% said they don't want to watch sport during the holiday season, with Norwegians being the only exception: 54% of viewers there want to watch sport programming.
Around 65% nixed the Christmas speeches given by their political leaders or royalty, with the exception of Poland and Norway, where a majority of viewers watched them.
Family and blockbuster movies; news and current affairs; and gameshows and quizzes were the programs most in demand during the holidays.
The study also found Eastern Europe preferred classic Christmas movies, while recent blockbusters were tops in Western Europe.
Central Europeans watch substantially more TV at Christmas, believing programming is better at this time of year, while Western Europeans watch less and believe the programming is worse.

An inside barrier to help Champagne Cuddles claim Group 1 win in 2018 Tattersall's Club TiaraBetting | Fields & Form | Horse Racing Today | Race Previews | Winter Racing |
A good barrier draw will assist Champagne...
Written By: Perth Racing
A spectacular 2009/10 Festival of Perth Racing has ended, and despite the economic downturn worldwide, as well as the immense pressure on the racing industry nationwide to earn the competitive entertainment dollar, attendances and wagering were winners.
Perth Racing is proud to announce that wagering and attendances on the four Festival of Perth Racing feature days were up on recent years.
Carlton Draught Railway Stakes Day, Player Winterbottom Stakes Day, Go for 2 & 5 Kingston Town Classic Day and BMW Perth Cup Day attracted combined total attendances of 50 000, up 7.55% on last year.
Oncourse turnover on the before mentioned days was a little over $5.2million, up 4.80% on two years ago and a shade down on last year.
The Perth Racing product was popular with punters nationally, with rises not only locally on TAB turnover, but big lifts on all interstate betting pools.
Tabcorp Victoria?s combined partners were up 22% on two years ago and our feature local events rose 67.90%, with Tabcorp Victoria?s own pools rising 57.67%.
The 2010 BMW Perth Cup was a huge success not only on the track, but with on-course patrons.
A crowd close to 24 000 attended the big day, with only one arrest and 10 move-on notices recorded.
In a period where public events have been marred by drunkenness and violent behaviour, local racegoers must be commended on the way they handled themselves on BMW Perth Cup Day.
Perth Racing made a concerted effort to work closely with local Police, liquor licensing and their on-course security to make it a safe and enjoyable afternoon for all on-course attendees.
The total attendance on BMW Perth Cup Day was up 21.05% on last year, and some new initiatives including the stalls and picnic at the cup areas look something that will grow in the future.
On-course sales on BMW Perth Cup Day were up to $1.8million, up 10.99% on 2009.
Total wagering sales on all Perth races and the BMW Perth Cup were very similar to results of last year.
Overall there is no doubt interest in the Perth Racing product is continuing to grow locally and nationally.
Perth Racing has extended a congratulations to their industry participants on how they competed during the 2009/10 Festival of Perth Racing.
It is onwards and upwards in the coming years!

If I walk through the door at home after a long day of work, and there are flowers on the table, it makes me happy. I know the whole thing about them not lasting, about them being expensive. I don't care. Roses, daisies, tulips, lilies. It doesn't really matter.
Flowers can be for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Days, or anniversaries. Flowers can mean I love you, I was thinking of you, I'm sorry, You mean so much to me, or Just because. I don't really care the reason. I love getting flowers.
Like I said. Call me typical.
So here's my dilemma.
Hubster is amazing. Without complaint (usually), he's put in two years of being a stay-at-home dad. He gets the laundry done. He gets the boys to school. He makes the beds and sweeps the floors. Nearly every day, he has dinner ready when I get home from work. He doesn't complain about my crazy work hours. Especially lately, when my work hours have been a little bit longer and the chance of getting home early isn't an option, he's really kept the loose ends covered.
He deserves flowers.
Except he's a guy. And from previous conversations, I'm pretty sure he doesn't get that warm fuzzy feeling regarding flowers that I do.
So what is the male equivalent of flowers?
I asked my colleagues at work. At first it was, "Well, what does he like?" I could get him more golf equipment, or a Sudoku book, or such. But I don't think that works. I don't think a box of golf balls says the same thing as a dozen roses.
Then I got the inevitable answer. Sex. My friends were insistent that this is the closest equivalent. While it may be true that this is what men want, I still don't think that it's the same as flowers. There isn't the same "walk through the door and think, Ahhh, you thought of me" type of feeling.
The closest thing we could come up with? Steak. Every guy I asked said that steak makes things feel more special.
So that's what I did. I managed to get home a little early with some steaks. I told Hubster I would make dinner. We had grilled steaks and ate them on our deck, enjoying the warming weather and each other's company. And it was nice.
But I still don't think it's the same.
So now, I'm out of ideas.
What, if anything, can a girl get a guy on occasion to let him know that she loves him, she appreciates him, and she's lucky to have him?
I don't think my back up plan of sandwiches is going to work.

Honestly, there isn't much. If I'm trying to do something nice for my hubby, I'll buy his favorite candies or treats (nerds/sweethearts/entemann's raspberry danish/fig newtons)(though right now he's trying to avoid sugar, lame), or I'll just write him a sincere note and place it in a place where I know he'll find it, but not expect it. Like his steering wheel, or on the door or under his pillow, etc. And then I just do my best to have things ready for him whenever I can--making dinner, like you said, cleaning things up, etc.ReplyDelete
Men are hard. Sheesh.
Just tell him. Maybe surprise him with a movie he wanted to see. Ed just appreciates it when I wear something that he likes me in, not necessarily lingerie. BUt something like that. Hope it helps. I also bring him home little treats. I'm not a flower girl. So when He surprises me with something it's usually random.ReplyDelete
Steak and sex! lol!ReplyDelete
My guy likes a particular steakhouse here and I take him there for his birthday when I can.
And knowing that I appreciate him really makes him feel good. An unexpected, and sincere, compliment can do wonders for a man's ego.
Hmmm... I second the idea of a movie, his favorite snacks, and a beverage waiting for him when he comes home from running to the store or something. Give him the night off. :)ReplyDelete
Humor. My sister always sparkled her relationship with fun: post it notes stuck all over the dashboard with little one liners and compliments, or cookies, candies, but gift-wrapped with a meaningful card, interspersed with small gifts of silly socks, a car full of balloons, and mild April fools like tricks. etc. A pic-nic basket, date night on the lady. The invitation to a waltz to music and candle-light, a wedding photo copied and attached to a home-made card or in a frame with a note of appreciation. While I should do it more often, I think she was onto something...(J.J. is right about the sincere compliment)ReplyDelete
Guys enjoy TLC like: dressing up for them, wearing make-up or perfume if its not ordinary, having ready a bubble bath, a massage, thin mints on the bedtime pillow or the comfort of a warm mug of something, and yes, even flowers, if its not routine.
Any way you slice it its a little more work than flowers (but worth it). Good-luck!
If there isn't something he obviously wants (like an oversized TV), usually my best bet is food. Husband loves it when I cook his favorite foods...ReplyDelete
I wish I could help you out but as long as he knows how much you appreciate his hard work, that should give him all sorts of warm fuzzys!ReplyDelete
Guys just aren't the same as women. From my limited knowledge, I'd have to say that you chose wisely with the steaks. I also think if there's anything he's into, adding little pieces to a collection is always a nice way to show your appreciation.ReplyDelete
This is a tough one. What about a little time away where you get away and do something he really enjoys? I liked the post-it note idea of one of your other readers. I have done that for my husband and he loved it. I put them in his coat pocket and in his car and work laptop bag. He said it made him feel special to know I was thinking of him and that I showed it in such a simple way. Good luck!ReplyDelete
Steak. Maybe a steak dress. But I know what you are saying, it's not the same thing. Did you ask hubby? Maybe I will take a poll around the office, too. Now I want to know.ReplyDelete
Steak dress! Ha! Ha! I'll have to try that one.ReplyDelete
Because your lives are so busy, I bet he'd appreciate the gift of time--a night off, when he can do whatever he wants. You could take the boys out and leave him with a quiet house.
If you find a good answer to this, please send it my way! I have been in the same quandry for YEARS! MacGyver is super considerate and does tons of little surprises, but there aren't many little sweet things that give him the same feeling.ReplyDelete
The best I've come up with is 1) Beer; or 2) Some junk food that I don't normally have in the house. Of course, I can only do that once in a while or it defeats the novelty of it.
I was given sex as the answer once, too. Totally not the same.
Yeah, guys are difficult when it comes to something like this. I know what would work for my husband, a pie. And maybe sex.ReplyDelete

Last weekend we made plans to go to Shady Brook to see the Christmas light show that they have. After my reaction at Sesame Place with all the lights, Mommy and Daddy knew that making our way here was a MUST this Christmas season.
Funny Store behind this though. I know Mommy and Daddy had the thought to want to take me but someone else beat them to the punch. When I woke up that morning and Mommy brought me downstairs, we noticed that we had a visitor in the house. It was a little Elf. He had written me a note, left me some Christmas PJ's and told me that there was a ticket for the light show for me at Aunt Siobhan's house, along with Nola and Maeve's tickets (their elf, Frost, accidentally picked mine up along with theirs…my elf told me that in his note). In my elf's note hr told me that I had to pick his name and that he was there to watch that I was a good boy, and that he would report back to Santa each night. I can't touch him though or he will lose his magic, I'm not really a fan of that rule though. I want to get my hands on everything that I possibly can. (By the way, my elf's name is Rudy!)
Mom Mom, Pop Pop, Aunt Siobhan, Uncle Greg, Nola, Maeve, Nana, Aunt Cole, Ken and Hailey all joined us as well! We decided to ride through this on the wagon ride instead of our car. We wanted to get a little more out of the experience, but it was pretty chilly and windy. Despite the weather, we made the best of it and had a good time. Again I was in awe of all these lights. I just kept saying "woooo" the whole time. Rumor has it we will have our very own Christmas tree (with lots of lights on it) this weekend! I am really looking forward to that! I can't wait to see how much I can drive Mommy crazy with it! Well enjoy these pictures, and we will be back with more Christmas fun throughout the month!!

I guess that when it comes to life, no one has a home.
We're funny in that little way, we,
Twisted sack of bones.
And the breaths of others haunt me,
For I know that I have chose,
To be alone forever,
To be that of unknown,
And deep inside I'm hurting,
My blood is split and cold,
I really hope that someone fucks the romance of "alone."

Auction snipers or auction bots prevents human bidders from winning auctions by placing a bid likely to exceed the current highest bid (which may be hidden) as late as possible - usually seconds before the end of the auction - giving other bidders no time to outbid the sniper. Auction sniping also allows sellers to use bots to bid for the item to inflate the prices, making it impossible for genuine users to buy listed products at a reasonable price.
Auction bots frustrate auction companies when fraudsters steal bidder information from auction websites and offer to sell them the same items, they are currently bidding, thus drawing bidders away from the legitimate auction sites.
All online auction and bidding websites
Online auction and bidding websites are increasingly getting crowded by software-controlled auction snipers or online bots. Auction snipers use bots to employ techniques like Shill Bidding and Bid Siphoning that help them create artificial demand for a particular product by unfairly inflating prices. Fraudsters contact bidders and offer to sell them the same item they are currently bidding, thus luring bidders off legitimate auction sites. Bots are used in bid siphoning to stealing the bidders' contact and bid information from auction sites.
When your auction website is a victom of auction bot fraud, you will see a direct loss of business from inflated and unfair auction activity, reduced bidding transactins and low genuine traffic. Your auction webistes brand value will be damaged due to dissatisfied bidders. There will be privacy breach when auction snipers steal bidders' contact and bid information. Also, you would need to spend a lot of server capacity to process the unwanted bad bot traffic.
InfiSecure's bot detection technology helps differentiate auction sniping bots from genuine bidders. The engines helps you know if a bid is made by a bot or a human to eliminate the possibility of unfair bot auction activity. InfiSecure blocks bots to stop bid siphoning, protect your sellers and bidders contact and bid information and also increases website traffic from genuine bidders. InfiSecure also helps optimize server capacity and better metrics on your Google Analytics.

LIKE a lot of wordsmiths, I seem to procrastinate instead of getting on with the job that is currently known as W.I.P. or "work in Progress." I am currently working on a fictional story although it is based on the Holocaust during WW2, the characters and events are entirely fictional, except those of Hitler and Rudolf Hess.
I find that after reading my Email messages, instead of getting into the nitty-gritty of writing, I seem to be drawn to Facebook where I engage in games such as "Scrabble," and "Words with Friends," and I also get a lot of invitations to play other games such as "Candy whatever its called, and Texas poker, but I decline these invitations.
I have managed to write 28, 558 words in my story, which is halfway through chapter twelve. My goal is to make my novel at least 83,000 words long, whereby I can then rewrite and edit at least 3000, words bring my novel down to an acceptable 80,000 words and then offer it to publishers in the hope that someone will take my novel as it is, basically an entirely untrue account of lives of SS German soldiers and the AK (Polish resistance Movement).
But, that procrastination always seems to take priority, like I should be adding some more text to my story,however, I am procrastinating by writing this instead!

I haven't stayed in Seoul for this long in ages. Although I've been exhausted from working, it surely has been great to spend time with my friends and family.
Also, I have been drinking "a moderate amount of alcohol" nearly everyday. Trust me, working as a legal intern in Asia from 9am to whenever is extremely tiring and I definitely could get some help!
I've been eating a lot in Korea too, but I haven't gained any weight which is very, very suspicious and strange.
I also had a pleasure of eating the best Korean BBQ EVER(totally subjective and biased opinion) this time. I honestly thought the quality of meat was better than Wagyu.
And this! Beef sashimi was too delicious.
Jin Sang used to be my favorite shabu shabu restaurant in Seoul but they definitely lost it.
Sukiyaki and lettuce wrapped rice were okay.
Way too overpriced for the restaurant's food, service, and quality.
I also have been reading lots of Korean books. I honestly thought I was fluent in Korean until I started legal translation from English to Korean..
I've been buying insane amounts of Korean skincare products and makeups and I'm not stopping!
I take subway and walk to my workplace every morning.
Rain season is finally over and I can finally enjoy my morning walk without having to carry my giant umbrella everywhere.
Seoul's been treating me well so far.

The assorted shades of bamboo go from amber gentle golden to some darker dark brown enhances the style possibilities that you can imagine using a bamboo wood floors. It does not demand hours and hours of installation specifically if you use prefinished bamboo floor tiles and sections. You can easily toenail or adhesive these sections over a number of other materials like particalboard or plyboard or even your own floor home heating. Solid bamboo flooring also offers a high dampness resistance rendering it an ideal option even regarding places have a tendency to get moist like the restroom the deck or the kitchen area.
For some Zen in the art of luxury home plans estates try a Fierce Fire and Water Zen Bowl. All backyard fountains are luxury must-have features providing entertainment for family and friends and this one adds some Feng Shui to your outdoor space. The Fire & Water Zen Bowl Table / Floor Fountain is even more eye-catching than your normal luxurious fountain since it adds rock slate and metal to the fire and water theme. The water cascades down tiers of slate and background fire is provided by an oil burner. The fountain is a peaceful tranquil balancing act between water and fire that enhances any backyard patio or pool area.

First of all, if you have not read Laurel Mass?'s recent post about this season, you need to go read it, now.
Yesterday was the Second Sunday of Advent, and one of the hymns we sang yesterday was "People, Look East." The text is by the English poet Eleanor Farjeon (1881-1965), who is probably best known for her hymn "Morning Has Broken" (usually sung to BUNESSAN). No, Cat Stevens did not write it: Eleanor Farjeon did, in 1931. "People, Look East" is usually sung to a Besan?on carol called, appropriately enough, BESAN?ON. (Besan?on, by the way, is known as "the greenest city in France." That has nothing to do with this tune, but that certainly is a claim to fame!)
This tune is also well known as the tune for an old French carol, "Berger, secoue ton sommeil profond," usually rendered in English as "Shepherds, Shake Off Your Drowsy Sleep." But since that's a Christmas carol, and it's not Christmas yet, today we'll stick with Farjeon's Advent text. It speaks beautifully of preparing our hearts even as we're preparing our homes for the celebration of Christmas. As yesterday's Gospel was about John the Baptist crying "Prepare the way of the Lord!" I thought this hymn would be an appropriate close to our worship.
People, look east. The time is near
Of the crowning of the year.
Make your house fair as you are able,
Trim the hearth and set the table.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the Guest, is on the way.
Furrows, be glad. Though earth is bare,
One more seed is planted there:
Give up your strength the seed to nourish,
That in course the flower may flourish.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the Rose, is on the way.
Birds, though you long have ceased to build,
Guard the nest that must be filled.
Even the hour when wings are frozen
He for fledging time has chosen.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the Bird, is on the way.
Stars, keep the watch. When night is dim
One more light the bowl shall brim,
Shining beyond the frosty weather,
Bright as sun and moon together.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the Star, is on the way.
Angels, announce with shouts of mirth
Him who brings new life to earth.
Set every peak and valley humming
With the word, the Lord is coming.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the Lord, is on the way.

Corrections: For the Record
Published: October 29, 2007
An article on Thursday about a fight between conservatives and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice over United States policy on North Korea misinterpreted comments by Senator Joseph R. Biden, Democrat of Delaware. In an interview on Wednesday, Mr. Biden declined to talk specifically about intelligence related to an Israeli strike in Syria on a suspected site of a nuclear reactor that North Korea might have been helping to build. When Mr. Biden talked of using a diplomatic approach to North Korea ''to rein these guys inside a deal that has some transparency,'' he was discussing a theoretical approach, not one based on new information. A graphic with the article also gave the incorrect dimensions in some copies for the building at the site of the suspected reactor. The square building was 154 feet on each side, not 154 feet high.

It's always nice to write about local bands. And the Oakland-based Bye Bye Blackbirds have made it very easy to do that with their excellent album, We Need the Rain.
Curiously, I'm not sure how the title relates to Northern California's urgent need right now for water in the midst of a severe drought. There are no songs among the album's ten tracks entitled "Our Reservoirs Have Gone Dry" with, I suppose, analogies to a waning love affair or "Waiting for the Storms to Roll In," perhaps as a metaphor for a troubled relationship.
But no matter. We Need the Rain is really well done, guitar-driven rock and power pop in the style of the Kinks or Badfinger or at times even REM or Neil Young from his days with Crazy Horse. Lead man and songwriter, Bradley Skaught, shines on his accomplished guitar work and vocals. Several of the songs pay homage to the artists mentioned above, but they do it in a way that isn't so much of a tribute as an original interpretation of a musical style.
"All in Light" gets the album off to a terrific rocking, stomping start. This is a great power pop anthem with crunching guitars, thumping drums and rich harmonies in a really catchy melody. "Like a Thief" follows that with more straight-ahead, driving rock and roll. This tune is definitely reminiscent of REM at its best — just a great song.
"Butterfly Drinks" is a fun, George Thorogood, blues-rock, sound-alike that I'm sure would be amazing at a live performance. "Shook Down Softly is another sparkling example of power pop, with rich harmonies and hooks that are impossible to ignore. And "Waiting for the Drums" conjures up images of rock radio from the 1970s with its memorable melody and solid garage-y guitar licks.
The album ends with a nod to another Bay Area rocker, Neil Young. "Spin your Stars" features sharply picked rhythm guitar work overlaid with outstanding lead guitar solos. On the longish side at 6+ minutes, it's a leisurely closer for the set.
If you like guitar-oriented rock or power pop, the Bye Bye Blackbirds is your kind of band — and mine.

Another day of my efforts to go to gym are gone. And I woke up with the same guilt that encompasses me every day. Being guilty of not exercising. It helps me in maintaining my health, it helps me burn the excess fat from my body, it helps me prepare for the 5k run that I've been waiting for, it keeps me active throughout the day. But I wouldn't do that. Because it is easier to sleep in than going to the gym. I know that it would help me in writing. I know that it would make me more presentable. I know it makes me feel better about myself. It doesn't matter if I have achieved something in my life. I shouldn't be fat. This was the concept that had entered my mind for a long time. Although that is not what I would like to believe, it is hard for me to make the paradigm shift out of it. The result is actually true. If I am more presentable, then I would give out more confidence and radiance. If I am not fat, I can fit into my suit, which has become very tight for me. If I can run a lot, for a long time, then I could finish my goal of 5k run. But sleeping in is easier than doing any of this. Lazing around is a best reward now, for all the regrets that I am going to face tomorrow. I know that, still I sleep in.
Some days, I wake up, go to the gym in the cold weather, try my best to finish a work out. Running on the treadmill is not a great task, if done for 5 minutes. I go till 30 minutes, with little slow walking to make sure I catch my breath. It would be a fun workout in the gym, but going there to try doing all the things that I have to do, the thought itself is terrifying.
Anyway, after the guilt, I went for breakfast, which on a Sunday, at my place, is not so great. I manage to eat something, just to stop myself from starving (not that I would actually starve if I don't eat breakfast. I would definitely eat something after a while) Later, I decided that I would meet an old friend. And the first person that came into my mind was a dear friend, Viraj. It was a long time ago, that I had promised him that I would meet him for dinner. And till now, excuses showed up, but the dinner didn't. Now, that I have decided to meet him, I texted him, hoping that he would reply and would be able to meet. There he was, ready and has time to meet me. After what can only be told as a stupid way to find a way to his place, I reached there and we ended up having a nice time. Meeting his was the best decision I've taken yesterday. Thanks man, you're the best.
And as we bid goodbye, we ended up talking about working out. He has decided to go to gym everyday now and that had given me the motivation to start working out. Thanks for that dude.
With my new found motivation, I had started back home, to start the workout. And there begins… my race.

Herat man kills daughter-in-law; youth gunned down
Herat man kills daughter-in-law; youth gunned down
HERAT CITY (Pajhwok): A man killed his daughter-in-law over a family dispute in western Herat province on Sunday, a day after a youth was shot dead in the provincial capital, police said.
Police spokesman Abdul Ahad Walizada told Pajhwok Afghan News that the woman was killed in Maslakh area of Herat city, the provincial capital, at 7:00am.
He said the alleged killer had been detained by police and was currently being interrogated. Initial investigation showed the murder resulted from a family dispute.
The police spokesman also said a young man named Torjan was gunned down in the limits of the 9th police district in Kocha Babai Barq area of Herat City on Saturday evening.
Torjan, an inhabitant of Badghis province, had earlier killed a man in Badghis and his murder appeared to be a result of that enmity.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Published: 2005
Number of pages: 584
Started: 10 June 2008
Finished: 16 June 2008
Summary (taken from blurb):
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier. And will become busier still.
By her brother's graveside, Liesel's life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravedigger's Handbook, left there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery.
So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordian-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever there are books to be found.
But these are dangerous times. When Liesel's foster family hides a Jewish fist-fighter in their basement, Liesel's world is both opened up, and closed down.
In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.
What a beautiful piece of work. One of those books that tugs at the heartstrings and reminds you why you love reading so much: for the chance to come across a gem like this every now and then.
The characterisation is brilliant. The characters are so real - they're unique, flawed and beautiful, and I came to love every single one of them. The narration by Death and all the little asides that came with it is very well done. And it's interesting how Zusak uses Death to tell us what is going to happen, but manages to do so without lessening the impact of the story in any way.
I could rave about the characters until the cows come home, but I'll try to restrict myself to a few short points. Liesel is a beautifully charming young girl, and her foster father, Hans Hubermann, is such a wonderful person - the type you wish you knew in real life. I enjoyed the infrequent but invaluable insights into Rosa Hubermann's real character and my heart broke for Rudy over and over throughout the entire book. Max Vandenburg's artwork also lent a lot to the book - much more insight is given into his character through his stories and art, all of which was very touching.
I haven't read a lot in the way of WWII literature so I don't have much to compare The Book Thief to, but I love that Zusak gives the reader a German perspective of what was happening in their lives.
This is one of the most powerful books I have read in a while and has definitely been added to my list of absolute favourites. A brilliant and very emotional read (I recommend having a lot of tissues handy). Having shamelessly gushed over this book, all that is left to say is that I very highly recommended it!

I really liked this book. Liesel was a wonderful protagonist, and like you, I thought it was interesting to see the German perspective. I also loved I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak, and another WWII book that I read recently was The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. I almost shelved it because I really didn't like the main character, but my friend encouraged me to stick with it, and I'm glad I did.

Thanks for your comments, Charley! I'll definitely be seeking out I am Messenger in the future.
I'd heard of The Boy in the Striped PJs but had no idea what it was about. I think I'll add it to the wish list :)
The only other WWII book I recall reading is I am David by Ann Holm, which I read as a child. It's the story of a young boy who escapes from a concentration camp and sets off in search of his mother. I was excited to find a secondhand copy recently so I'm looking forward to re-reading it soon.
And I have The Diary of Anne Frank on my TBR pile as well.

In this day and age simply stating the reality about a topic isn't enough. If it was sufficient, then marketing agencies and television networks, globally, would be out of business. The reality now needs to be made vivid, fascinating and remarkable.
But how do you go about branding your business? Easy use the Advertising Agencies and get a branding advisor or a brand name supervisor for your company. These are the experts in the area of branding and creating the image of the business. These experts will function and will communicate with the leading executives of the business. You must also get concerned with the brand name development yourself.
This initial is really more of a warning than a tip for combating the block. But it falls in line much above something else I truly have to say. Here, I'll say it again.
My profession as an Animal Communicator really started simply because my cat, Soleil, was soiling throughout the home. It was a busy time in my life. I was married and operating as an webdesign company executive. My initial program of motion was to take Soleil to the vet. He kept her for the day to examine her and operate exams. When I arrived to pick her up he informed me that he could discover absolutely nothing physically wrong.
A vacation does not always imply that you need to spend a great deal to enjoy it. You just need a fantastic concept and a little bit of creativeness to enjoy your holiday. So, right here are ways to celebrate your vacation that is pleasant to your pocket.
"Hey John, this is Felicia. I just wanted to allow you know I value what you did. I'd like to thank you in individual, so if you give me a call back, that would be great".
So, there you have it. If you are interested in moving or retiring to Albuquerque, you are quite welcome. It is not by any means a closed community, with a extremely large proportion of residents becoming transplants from somewhere else. You can now feel armed with a little more correct info than you will acquire from vacationer offices, advertising agencies and real estate brokers.

Home again, Home again! … We don't want to go home again!
Bright and early we all packed ourselves onto our 'tour bus' and headed to the airport.
Goodbyes were not easy to make. But we had a long journey ahead of us. Those of us who aren't great at sleeping on planes, knew we would be up for around 26 hours. So when we got to the airport, it was time for a breakfast sandwich and a drink! What a great adventure. Performing in Avellino- doing Death for Five Voices on such a huge stage! And in the castle where Carlo lived? What a crazy thing to do. I know I will always treasure this experience.
26 hours later. New York City. Pouring rain. Landed.
We were exhausted. Pulling luggage down to exit the plane was a great excuse to stretch your spine after a long sit. But then there is the zombie like cattle run that is; RE-ENTRY. Customs is always just the longest line–It's like Trader Joes to the 10th.
Once we got our luggage we had to say goodbye. Hugs that were more like people leaning on each other for support ensued.
Tina, Peter and I almost ended up in a cab to Queens before we realized we were just really tired—and that none of us lived in Queens.
We all said our final goodbyes knowing we were at most a few blocks apart in some cases.
I paid the cab driver as he pulled up to my door- the rain had just stopped as I got out and began to climb the five story walk-up. The last moments of adventure are fingers scurrying about trying to figure out where we put the keys. Exit SL.

TELFORD VICE, Cape Town
SA cricket has suffered three losses to New Zealand in the past three months – none of them on the field.
The news on Wednesday that Rob Walter would leave the Titans to coach the Otago Volts follows similar announcements involving Riaan Muller and Pete de Wet.
Muller's four years as the SA team's logistics manager ended after the World T20 in India in March. He has taken up the same position with the New Zealand national side.
De Wet will be chief executive of the Dolphins and the KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union until the end of this month. From August 1, he will be chief executive of the Central Districts Cricket Association and based in Napier on New Zealand's North Island.
Walter will join them in Kiwi country on September 1, having signed a two-year contract with the Volts.
Like Muller and De Wet, Walter is white. Under pressure from the sports ministry, the game in this country is in the midst of what Cricket SA (CSA) have called "aggressive transformation".
Is Walter's decision to leave for New Zealand's whiter pastures linked to that reality?
"I've always been very passionate about SA cricket," Walter said. "I can't say I'm leaving for lack of opportunity; that would be untrue. I got the Titans job very early in my career."
Walter was the SA team's conditioning coach from 2009 to 2012 and was appointed by the Titans in May 2013. He has been SA's most successful franchise coach in the last three seasons, winning or sharing four trophies in all three formats.
Professional ambitions, Walter said, were at the heart of what he called "a very tough decision".
"I thought for my own coaching growth, I needed to coach in a different environment," he said.
"Like any coach I aspire to coaching a national team and after talking to various people I realised that in the short term the Proteas job is not going to happen for me.
"I want to put myself in a position so that if it happens in the long term I will have the experience."
Russell Domingo's future as SA coach would appear to be in doubt in the wake of his team's failure to reach the final of the triseries in the West Indies last month, which followed their first-round crash out of the WT20.
But any South African who has ambitions to succeed Domingo will have to get past the Cobras' Paul Adams, who has won or shared five titles in the past four seasons, and Geoff Toyana, who has taken the Lions to four championships, or a share of them, in the same four campaigns.
Titans chief executive Jacques Faul said the Volts had done well to secure Walter's services.
"Rob pioneered a new spirit in the Titans cricketing family," a statement quoted Faul as saying.
"He has transformed the franchise in many ways. It was evident in the way … our top and middle order produced 22 centuries in two seasons."
The loss of Walter to SA cricket will, in fact, be doubled: his wife, Heather Walter, is CSA's sponsorship manager.

10 things which have gone out of the window with Rose being poorly this week (she's got a nasty virus/flu-type thing combined with conjunctivitis, we think):
1. Sugar rules: I've suggested she eat lollies, ice cream, yoghurts and even jelly for breakfast. She's having none of it. I coaxed her into trying a lolly in the bath. One lick. Nope.
2. The VERY strict 'Water only after teeth brushing' rule: Right now I'm that scared of her raging temperature and the risk of dehydration that if she'll drink it, she can have it. I was close to offering her a Diet Coke yesterday, so it's a good job we haven't bought the Christmas Baileys yet…
3. Caring about water consumption: I've often asked her to stop wasting water (when she flushes an invisible wee away, I tell her we might run out of water and not have enough for her bath🙊) but a hot, steamy shower helped her cough so much this morning that when I asked what she wanted to do next and heard 'Have a nice hot bath, Mummy' the plug was in faster than you can say 'extortionate water bill'.
4. Limiting TV: let's just say I know exactly what was on Peppa's shopping list, how much fun it is to be a wriggly worm and every damn word to 'Do you wanna build a snowman?'
5. Sleeping arrangements: after being told by someone who is still trying to remove his six year old son from his bed that it wasn't a good idea to bed share, we've never allowed it, however I found myself in a sofa-sharing slumber party situation at 5am today. Hell, if it means we get some sleep, we'll do it.
6. Toilet use: Rose nailed potty training a couple of weeks back, but when she almost fell over as she stood up yesterday the pull-ups came back out. We'll get back on track, I'm sure.
7. My diet: After celebrating a three pound loss last week I'm fairly sure the six chocolate biscuits and half a chocolate orange I wolfed down yesterday will put an end to that party – emotional eating at it's best.
8. Suffering fools: I don't have much patience for morons as it is, but yesterday saw two blocked phone numbers, a WhatsApp delete and one Facebook 'unfriend' – you know my child is sick and you're being a dick? No thanks.
9. Keeping my shit together: Crying at the drop of a hat and generally doing stupid things (sliced banana in a cup of tea, anyone?) seems to be the way I roll this week, so until Daddy T brings the men in white coats home with him I'll just crack on.
10. Caring about my appearance: its a total fluke that my underwear matches today and that's about where it ends. It's a good job I went for a swim on Wednesday, or my body might have wondered what water actually felt like before I shared Rose's hot shower this morning.
It's horrible having a poorly child, and I'm hoping this is a run-of-the-mill illness that we will see the back of by the weekend. My heart goes out to anyone who is taking care of a seriously ill child, I can only begin to imagine how consumed with fear you must be. Huge love to you all xx xx xx

Why does Lois Lerner still have her job?
Yesterday I posted about the House Oversight Committee hearing regarding the IRS scandal. I posted my thoughts about the testimony from Douglas Shulman, who was the Commissioner of the IRS during the scandal period; Neal Wolin, the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury; and J. Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. One item I did not post about was the testimony from Lois Lerner, Director of the IRS's Tax-Exempt Division. I decided to write separately about Ms Lerner since she provided testimony and then pleaded the 5th.
Before the hearing yesterday Lois provided a two and a half-minute testimony before the Committee. The testimony can be seen here on Politico. At the end of her testimony she was dismissed by Rep. Issa since she made it clear she would not be answering questions. Apparently her counsel had advised her pleading the fifth would be best in this situation. The Fifth Amendment is used to protect citizens from self-incriminating themselves. Here is the exact text of the Fifth Amendment:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation
In my mind there are two important questions left after Ms Lerner chose to plead the fifth. First, can a person plead the fifth after providing testimony? Second, why does Ms Lerner still have her job after pleading the fifth?
For the first question I will defer to an excellent article over at United Liberty from Jason Pye. At the core of this issue is the fact Ms Lerner provided testimony (what she calls an opening statement) but then refused to allow cross-examination. Did Ms Lerner waive her right to pleading the fifth when she provided testimony? The Supreme Court in the past has ruled that the fifth cannot be utilized once testimony is given. It really comes down to the whether the opening statement is considered testimony. Mr Pye's article explains this much better than I ever could.
Now, the second question I have no problems answering: Ms Lerner should be fired immediately. As the Director of the IRS's Tax-Exempt Division she is in the employee of the American people. She must also answer to the oversight power provided to Congress. By choosing not to answer questions from the oversight committee she has proven herself to be an unfit employee. Pleading the fifth may protect her from testifying against herself in criminal matters; however it does not protect her job as a high-level manager working for the taxpayers. It is hard to comprehend how she still has her job. As a high-level manager she is accountable for her actions and for those that work in her division. By choosing not to take accountability she has proven herself unfit as a manger and should be excused from her job immediately.
Going forward this will be an interesting case to watch. Personally I think we will see Ms Lerner testify with immunity being provided. Once she is given immunity it is hard for Ms Lerner to publicly justify why she will not answer to Congress or the American people. But, as I said before, no matter what Ms Lerner should be fired and prevented from ever working on the taxpayer dime again.

Current Sermon Series
What are the characteristics of a church that truly turns from its idols and follows Christ?
How does a community of believers thrive in the midst of persecution and suffering?
How should the church today aspire to live in a culture that is defined by moral decay and is increasingly hostile to the gospel?
These are the questions we will answer in our study of First Thessalonians: Living as the Church.

I've taken this numerous times, one of the only meds that can get rid of my UTI's. I've never had an issue with it.
I've taken it before, also. Haven't a clue how this came to be. Found another dr, when I find out what the story is, I will update on the subject!

I know for a fact that there is not enough laughter in my life. Today I wanted to relate two recent personal episodes that brought about the type of healing that only laughter can provide. I suspect that if I can somehow keep my head up and my eyes open instead of focussing on life's negatives, more such episodes will present themselves.
Episode #1 - The Dolphinoplasty
I was channel surfing after a long, hard, grumblesome day. I stumbled across the cartoon South Park. Season 9, episode #1. Kyle's Jewish father Gerald has decided to undergo radical plastic surgery to bring about a bodily change that reflects who he feels he really is on the inside. He decides to undergo a dolphinoplasty, a procedure that will turn him into a dolphin. I won't tell you what was used to fashion his dorsal fin. However, the operation has turned him into a grotesque monster. When Kyle's friends Cartman, Stan, and Kenny show up to his house and see his now freakish dad (never mind that Kyle has just had his own plastic surgery, a negroplasty, to turn him into a suitable basketball player), it is amazing how muted their response is to all of these changes (perhaps this is just the jading effect that happens naturally when one lives in a town like South Park). After seeing Kyle's dad, Cartman says to himself with a touch of wonder, "He's a Jewish dolphin, ..., a jewphin."
Episode #2 - Mistaken Identity
At my laboratory, I was working a shift monitoring an experiment with my friend Brian. I have known Brian now for over 20 years. Whenever we get together, we morph into two 12-year-old boys. Silliness reigns unstopped. After four hours, Brian's replacement was due to show up to relieve him. I thought I recognized the new worker's name on the shift list, and I remembered him as being an odd sort of fellow. Very awkward and skinny, bald and pasty white, introverted and silent, with no lips and a slight hump. To pull Brian's chain, I told him that his replacement looked very much like him, so much so that it would be hard to tell the two of them apart. At the appointed time, Brian's replacement showed up, except he was a jocular, outgoing, muscular black man. Brian turned to me without pause and said, "It's almost like looking in a mirror."
After both episodes, I laughed until my sides hurt and tears of release poured from my eyes and down my cheeks. Ahh, that ice cube of negativity melted away fast and completely. Such good medicine.

You're spamming the forum with trash and using up bandwith.in case you don't know, the admin pays to keep this server up, and there's a limit to so much space that can be used.

how can you hate somebody when you don't even know them. i actually consider some of you my friends.

hey i'll be in seattle on monday through friday next week. let's me up down at green lake. you pick a spot and we can meet. i usually get to seattle about once a month. i am staying out by the airport.
And why would I want to meet you?

Rap is the truth
i agree. only way to go
As much as I like rap, it's all getting too gay now. It's almost never about the truth now. Just how much ice you have, your Escalade rollin on 26" spinners, gettin crunk, and all the "hos". I do like the bassline a lot better nowadays though.
