My computer is the source of all the things. It is both my place of work and entertainment. I connect with my family and friends and conduct meetings. I have all the papers that I am writing for my degree as well as a science fiction I have been working on. I learn by participating in Coursera classes and I play video games (Civ V, anyone?).
Given that all productive and downtime activities take place on the same screen, I have to be careful about how I spend my time. I discussed before the importance of staying away from my browser (thank you, Mailbox). Today I want to talk about RescueTime.
RescueTime tracks all the things you do on your computer. From the specific websites you access on your browser, to the programs you use such as Word or Mendeley. You can access your dashboard to see how you use your computer time. You can also classify certain activities from very productive to very distracting.
My goal is to have my productivity pulse above 80. This is not always possible, since there are meetings to schedule, emails to respond to, and world news to keep up with. In general, as long I spend most of my time in the Composition and Learning categories, I call it a good day.

If need be, plan your route and although doing so search for viable service stations that may handle maintenance in your car. Keep contact information for such stations accessible.
This might lead to frustration in the event you run into issues with your plans. You possibly will not obtain the rental car you want or more info flights may be delayed.

Take turns at driving when you might be on the road for too long hours. Should you drive excessive, the new driver need to drive alone whilst you sleep.

Sometimes all that is required is a visit to the dental hygienist. Other times teeth may need to be straightened or whitened or perhaps need some contouring. Occasionally it may be a combination of all these treatments.
"Extremely professional and courteous. Jens kept me informed throughout the procedure and carried out the treatment with the least amount of discomfort to me. I am delighted with the outcome and cannot fault my visit."
Mrs McClintock (Patient), 1st February 2018
"Jens put me at ease by taking time to talk me through each stage of the treatment process, it really helped. Jens and Tricia seemed to work together really efficiently, I felt safe in their care and their friendly manner was appreciated."

After a brief respite in Noctis, the agents were again contacted about a new mission. Three Firewall agents had gone missing in the vicinity of a town called Beatrix Redemption. The team left after supplying up. On their way to this settlement they encountered a pack of robotic animals that attacked them but were quickly dispatched thanks to a plasma rifle. Upon arriving at the dome the team requested entrance to the structure but was informed that their weapons would not be allowed. Reluctantly they surrendered their weapons to enter the dome. Upon enter the group decided to send Q in a new dragonfly morph high above on scout duty. The town however had watch towers that, despite Q's camouflage, noticed him and opened fire with rifles. They nearly killed him but only asked that he remain in the village while they had negotiations. The group decided to stay in the village to help determine if anything had occurred there even though Beatrix herself had explained to them that the agents in question had visited but had left sometime ago. Q decided to stay outside the city as he was not welcome in his synthetic morph. The town gave the team an eerie feeling and they slept uneasily. Being disturbed during the night by strange occurrences such as the the scarecrow robots running around the town and the kidnapping of the woman whose house they were living in.
The next morning they continued their investigation of the town and everything seemed normal as ever much to the agents surprise. They were only allowed to stay two days so the group took their leave of the town. However two members decided to remain behind and do further investigations. Upon reaching the outside and having their weapons returned, they resolved to go back in with force. The group attempted to drill into the dome hole to enter in, but Beatrix was there quickly and insisted they stop. She seemed to influence Kira by shaking her hand though Kira realized the powers of an async like herself and knew she must be quite powerful. Beatrix left attempting to have the group come peacefully with her to join their lifestyle. Once they refused and again attempted to break into the dome by blasting a hole with Kira's plasma rifle, the mood suddenly changed. The dome was blacked out and the scarecrows all began to roam the cornfields causing the group to reconsider their plan of attacking. Instead they opted for an insertion through the top of the dome.
The two members still in town were now in danger and barricaded themselves in the church until reinforcements could arrive. The townsfolk were trying to break in but before they could Q flew additional armaments to the two and they managed to hold off the townsfolk. The rest of the team used a combination of weapons and nanites to open a hole at the top of the dome and began to rappel down inside to the center of town. They engaged the townsfolk in the towers as the rappelled killing anyone who shot at them with amazing accuracy. Upon landing the synth scarecrows attacked them and nearly killed one of the members before being overcome by plasma and traditional munition. Now Beatrix was angry and displayed a true show of her power by levitating a large amount of rubble around her using it as both armor and munition to attack the party. But before she could do much Kira shot an incredible shot that threaded the needle and vaporized one of Beatrix's arms causing her to retreat to the church which was now opened thanks to some of the scarecrows. The two members who were in there had retreated deeper into the church watching as the robots and Beatrix opened a passage that descended below. The party pursued carefully and saw a huge psychosurgery lab as well as massive computer banks with a storage of many morphs. The party engaged the remaining hostiles and defeated them after a brief but fierce fight. The additional exploration of the area showed that they computers had many egos stored on them and that two tunnels ran from the area. One went to a fusion reactor to power the dome and additional systems. The second went far underground into the TQZ and the agents lost contact with their drone that explored that direction.
From among the egos recovered the agents managed to get a large reward for one notorious Fall criminal known as Emmanuel Hyved. These egos included the missing Firewall agents as well though they had undergone extensive psychosurgery.

I received the Bicycle Pack Supplies Bundle by Jumaxis free of charge for my honest review. The zippers on the Bicycle Pack are very hard to open and especially the cell phone holder you must unzip to place your cell phone inside, so when you go to put it back together the zipper must be threaded and it takes a while, a difficult thing to do. The Pockets are a nice size that you could put lots of things inside of. The way the Pack fastens with velcro it will slide side to side some and not remain straight up. The light set is plastic and takes a total of 6 batteries not included the headlight was very hard for me to put back together, and the taillight was very hard for me to open, but everything else was fine. The stickers are very nice and reflective. Thank you, Jerri #jumaxis

- Fear - Fear of Uncertainty, Fear of Left Behind, Fear of Depletion
- Greed - Greediness of wanting more than what we deserve for

- Blind of subtleness - Making decisions based on obvious things but later paying price due to magnification of subtle things which were never considered.
- Lack of Empathy - Lack of empathy and sympathy towards the information and people.
- Closed Mindedness and Opinionated - Deeply ingrained in one's own perspective. Perspectives help us to make better decisions, the better we see the better we have clear "vision" followed by a good reasoning.
- Poor Listening - It is by observation we learn a lot. Listening is a great aid to make good observation.
- Trying to Exhibit Force - Forcing things to happen rather than making the environment conducive for decision making
- Treating others' ideas based on their title (but not by the merit of information). Sometimes (or most of the times), ideas/perspectives come from unexpected ones.
- Lack of Curiosity - How does a child listen to a story teller? Absolutely curious. We were there as a child, we know how we felt.
- Not Showing Genuine Interest - Not showing genuine interest blocks effective communication. When a collective decision has to be made, showing interest in others makes a big impact.

I've been reading Mara Altman's "Thanks for Coming" over the past few days. It's a good train read, maybe even a good "sit in the bathtub and hide" read. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would, even though there are some things at the start of the book I don't exactly agree with. It's her story. I can't argue with that. I identify with her words more and more as the book goes on. It's an interesting view. It's funny. It's refreshing.
I've thought over my own sexuality a bit more since I've started reading it. This isn't to say that I've been transformed by this memoir. We can all learn things from different sources. We can always take something new away from our experiences. It could be my own grief and frustration showing or it could be my stress. It could just be for the love of it - but I've been orgasming solo a lot more often lately. That would come up to being on average once every day or two. PMS wasn't too rough this month though I've felt stressed in general. My mind feels clear though my clit feels a bit numb today. It's possible I've just needed to get that energy flowing again. I used my Carnelian egg and from then on I've felt a bit more open in my sacral energies. Maybe open just means that I'm not ignoring them completely in this case.
Pleasure is good for you.
I still feel a little bad over having to do this alone. I still feel a little lonesome for not having someone willing to co-conspire in my orgasm. Perhaps it's better to say that I don't have someone I'm attracted to willing to co-conspire. The mouse and I are on a definite rock right now. We still haven't gone over the questions of what will be of our relationship. He wants to be hopeful and in my mind flashed "I want to be at the happy end, not the messy middle." Similar to my loc journey... The end result takes time. If he and I are going to work as an open relationship, or even a closed couple, it's going to take time. I know that in all of the other issues, my orgasms, or lack of, are mixed in.
He said he felt devastated when I told him that his usual techniques didn't satisfy me. He's been hung on that ever since. I would think that would be a cause to try and learn new things. There's an art to sex and seduction. It's not all "insert, pound, and stir however you like." He said that he had hopes to "bring something back" in terms of learning new ways to be a lover. It actually feels like he's completely skipping over whatever guidance I try to give. It seemed to work best when he JUST LISTENED to what I liked and actually tried it.
Men make women's orgasms their own... claim them as badges. Some of them do at least. It's upsetting. It's also slightly depressing. I didn't think I'd be with someone like that... or was... At the same time, it feels like he's given that up as well. It could be stress... it could be sensing my frustration. I remember the last few times left me feeling upset when I tried to honestly show enthusiasm. I remember the last few times feeling lonesome and letdown. Then I remember him going on to another person within days.
I don't know if he has been in these last few weeks. I don't really want to have sex with him either. Maybe, that's keypoint.
No trust, no love, no intimacy.
No pleasure = no orgasm.
I still wonder what my future holds in terms of my sexuality. I wonder where my own personal revolution will take me. I've got enough things mentally tied up that I don't know where I'll end up. I've got enough cobwebs and baggage.
Maybe, if I were more of a minimalist and more zen, I'd easier come. I'd easier go. I'd find that moment to float in space all the more simple to taste... to touch... Maybe, it would be all the more palpable when I wasn't alone and attached to a mouth.
They start deep. They build up and then overflow with a gush. They're like a volcano erupting or what causes a mushroom cloud to form. It's better to say that they're a geyser of water and fire.
He told me they look intense, not like anything he's seen before. My orgasms are large, powerful explosions. Maybe that's why it takes work and time to get them there. They're a release.
Maybe, they're tied to my nipples and my voice. I've had to stay silent. That in itself has always been frustrating. I've had to hold my voice in my throat, stifle my moans in a fist or a pillow. I've not been able to let them go - and perhaps that's stressful in itself. It's depriving my own voice. It's depriving a sense. It's denying the experience for the comfort of those surrounding...

Consider this...a project is temporary, has unique goals to meet, and many different tasks to manage, delegate and coordinate. Sometimes those tasks run across functional departments and across very diverse organizations, and hopefully have critical impact on a business, organization, industry or customer…depending on the project, of course.
Globally, companies invest billions of dollars annually on IT solutions. In addition, many organizations offer visionary solutions that all call for knowledgeable project managers to plan, execute, control, and end projects ahead of any competition. Sadly, many of these projects come in behind schedule and over budget, and fail. Much of our project management lives are spent dealing with these unsettling projects and working to get them back on schedule, both within budget and within specification. Many projects are canceled before they are ever completed and many exceed their original estimates. The financial costs of these
failures and overruns are just the tip of the iceberg. The path of destruction left behind from these projects is devastated budgets, unhappy customers, and sometimes ruined project management careers.
Success comes hard
On the success side, it is commonly cited that more than 50% of all projects fail to some degree. They may be considered a failure by some stakeholders based on one or more of the three key project success determiners: on time delivery, on budget delivery, and customer satisfaction. Some studies suggest that less than 20% of projects are completed on time AND on budget. In the larger organizations, the news is even worse: studies have shown that less than 10% of projects in large companies come in on time AND on budget. And, even when these projects do limp through to completion, they are often no more than mere shadows of their original functional requirements.
Today, when project managers take on a project, they must face the reality that many clients are increasingly aware of how projects must align with business processes and strategy. As a result, these clients expect project managers to be able to translate their requirements into effective implementations. Project managers must be prepared to take charge of the engagement, lead their team through project kickoff and ask the right questions to gain a set of detailed and complete requirements to build a solution upon, and be strong leaders to keep the project customer engaged and contributing to the success of the project.
Summary / call for input
The bottom line is this….success is always in question on projects. In fact, it's almost assumed that a compromised solution will be delivered. As project managers, we must take this as a challenge to over perform and over deliver and motivate our project teams to do the same. Today, more than ever, we are expected to do more with less and use diverse skill sets to deliver on high-tech projects that are often groundbreaking and career boosting in nature. We must always be focusing on best practices, focus on what the customer needs (not just what they want), and be the strong leader and confident decision-maker that the project, team and customer needs.
Readers...please share your own thoughts on the difficulties of project success and any tips you have learned to follow.

burnt that is…Never realized that I had these numbers behind me. I used to log my workouts at DailyMile.com about three years back. Looking back I did this regularly for about a year. Those were the times when I would play cricket actively and teach yoga. Those were the times when my weight was at its lowest as far as I can recall, at a good 160 lbs. Recently took up logging workouts again and when I looked at stats at Dailymile, I was able to export all my workouts from my past – sweet! Here it is! Had about 1800 miles in a year – a combination of running, walking and biking.

Sometimes mom lets you stay up late on a school night, for the sake of photography and good lighting. 🙂
Today was little miss' first day back to school (and not a moment too soon for her or me). She turns 5 tomorrow, but she seems so much older to me. She's one parts 2nd child, one parts fearless & determined which add up to 5 going on 12. She's got very specific tastes in music, movies, toys and clothes (don't get me started on the amount of time it takes us to agree on an outfit in the morning). She pushes us all to the point of madness and exhaustion then just when you think you are going to scream, she says something so hilarious that you can't help but laugh and scoop her up in a bear hug.
When she was in my stomach she NEVER stopped moving, I mean ever. I would cry to Nick how she was punching and kicking at the same time, because I could feel it in 4 places at once. At one of her sonograms I had a technician tell me she'd never seen a baby move so much and that I was in trouble. To say this is still true today would be an understatement. She doesn't walk, she runs. EVERYWHERE. And she's actually quite fast.
She's an amazing sister. She'll play whatever Caden wants to, she stands up for him no matter what (even yelling at Nick or I when he's getting in trouble to go easy on him), and saves a bite of every treat for him (even when he's already had one of his own). She's the one who will push the limits when he's too scared too (like hiding behind the couch with packs of fruit snacks). Don't get me wrong, she's still a sister, and annoys him plenty. But at the end of the day, she's someone you want in your corner.
She's as girlie as it gets; loves painting her nails, changing dresses 3x a day and putting on make up. But will also dig in the dirt, play any sport you want and play light sabers while wearing her fairy wings. I made her middle name "Grace" because she is truly a testament of God's grace on me and it just happens to be a daily lesson for ME in giving her the grace that she needs.
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll find time to do her annual birthday pictures and post some from her birthday party along with it. In the mean time, here's her 2nd, 3rd and 4th pictures to make you smile.

You cain't pray a lie.
– Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
– Notebook, 1902
The Scot is always believed, yet he never tells anything but lies; whereas the captain is never believed, although he never tells a lie, so far as I can judge. If he should say his uncle was a male person, he would probably say it in such a way that nobody would believe it; at the same time the Scot could claim that he had a female uncle and not stir a doubt in anybody's mind. My own luck has been curious all my literary life; I never could tell a lie that anybody would doubt, nor a truth that anybody would believe. – Mark Twain, Following The Equator, chpt. LXII
Recent news of spewing lava from Mount Kilauea reminds me of Clemens stories during his travels in Hawaii, written in Roughing It.
Recurring elements of Twain's writings, frequently play on the differences between lies and the truth. His vivid imagination, boldly colors these stories making them humorous, tragic, and thought provoking. All subjects, topics, and mores were "fair game" to Clemens' wit and satire.
I especially enjoy these absurdities, and take delight in sharing them.
Subsequent blogs will have more Markiss stories; as you read them, reflect on these questions:
1) Do Twain's grossly exaggerated stories illustrating lies, promote the truth, or promote telling lies?
2) Is this technique an example of reverse psychology?
3) Is Mark Twain advocating for greater humanity and the brotherhood of man?
Markiss, King of Liars – from Roughing It, published in 1872.
I stumbled upon one curious character in the Island of Mani. He became a sore annoyance to me in the course of time. My first glimpse of him was in a sort of public room in the town of Lahaina. He occupied a chair at the opposite side of the apartment, and sat eyeing our party with interest for some minutes, and listening as critically to what we were saying as if he fancied we were talking to him and expecting him to reply. I thought it very sociable in a stranger. Presently, in the course of conversation, I made a statement bearing upon the subject under discussion—and I made it with due modesty, for there was nothing extraordinary about it, and it was only put forth in illustration of a point at issue. I had barely finished when this person spoke out with rapid utterance and feverish anxiety:
"Oh, that was certainly remarkable, after a fashion, but you ought to have seen my chimney—you ought to have seen my chimney, sir! Smoke! I wish I may hang if—Mr. Jones, you remember that chimney—you must remember that chimney! No, no—I recollect, now, you warn't living on this side of the island then. But I am telling you nothing but the truth, and I wish I may never draw another breath if that chimney didn't smoke so that the smoke actually got caked in it and I had to dig it out with a pickaxe! You may smile, gentlemen, but the High Sheriff's got a hunk of it which I dug out before his eyes, and so it's perfectly easy for you to go and examine for yourselves."
The interruption broke up the conversation, which had already begun to lag, and we presently hired some natives and an out-rigger canoe or two, and went out to overlook a grand surf-bathing contest.

A number of Americans and media outlets were somehow shocked and unable to believe there was another mass shooting in the United States.
|The scene of the latest American mass shooting. (Above)
"This is unbelievable. This kind of thing never happens in the United States," said Mandy Hammer, who awoke this morning from a coma she had been in for over fifty years.
The corporate media in the United States routinely used the word "shocking" to characterize yet another mass shooting in America, which boasted a historic body count.
Maxwell Keene, a Harvard University English professor, told TNA he was unaware of changes to the English language that would make either word appropriate to use.
A press release by the National Rifle Association informed Americans more guns would fix the epidemic of gun violence in America.
Congress confirmed any meaningful gun control remained hopelessly out of reach.

(Serves 2)
300 g pork neck fillet, 1 tbsp refined rice wine, 10 g Korean leek, 1 slice pineapple
Spices :
1 tbsp soybean paste, 1 tbsp starch syrup, 1 tbsp refined rice wine, 1 tsp finely-powdered red pepper, 1/2 tsp clear soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sesame, 3 tbsp water
Direction :
Cut pork neck fillet into 1 cm-thick slices and clean off blood with kitchen towel and marinate in refined rice wine.
Cut pineapple slice into six pieces, clean Korean leeks and cut into 2-cm long and mince some for garnish.
Prepare the seasoning sauce as indicated and mix well before spreading on the pork.
First cook pineapple pieces on heated frying pan, turn off the heat and quickly cook the 2-cm long Korean leeks with some cooking oil.
Cook seasoned pork in medium high heat until the inside is done as well. Then cut them into pieces good to eat.
First place cooked Korean leeks, the cooked pineapple pieces and pork sprinkled with minced Korean leek garnish.
☑Matsul, or refined rice wine, is used to eliminate pork smell. The wine is especially made for cooking in Korea. If you can't get hold of matsul, use white wine or red wine.
☑If the soybean paste flavor is too strong, add peanut butter. Add the equal amount of peanut butter with the soybean paste to the sauce already made with soybean paste. It will render a special flavor.
☑Don't cook maekjeok in high heat. Keep the heat between medium high and low until the inside is cooked as well. Quickly cook in high heat at the last moment before turning the heat off.

Hawaii Five O
No Man is an Island
Awareness was slow in coming, but when it did it slammed into his mind much the same way as the fists had slammed into his body. He fought to breathe past the agony in his chest and used his hands to lever himself into sitting position. He leaned his head back against the cold stone wall and looked up at the high window opposite his position.
Streams of bright sunlight crept across the room, while small particles of dust danced in the air as if lifted by an unseen breeze. He knew he had to escape, but there was a difference between knowing what he had to do and actually doing it. He tried to climb to his feet, but closed his eyes against the nauseating pain in his right leg. He blinked several times in an effort to clear his vision, but the swelling around his right eye made it hard to focus on his surroundings.
How long had he been here, surrounded by nothing but four walls? How many times had he tried to escape, only to find himself thrown back in this hell hole with nothing but the sound of his own breathing to tell him he was alive?
He moved his arms, the aching pain a reminder that he'd spent several hours hanging by his wrists until someone had decided he was no longer a threat. He ran his fingers through his hair, wincing when his right hand came in contact with a wound above his right eye. His fingers came away sticky, but at least the bleeding seemed to have stopped. Not that it mattered, as he was pretty sure he would be dead long before he bled out.
He managed to get his feet under him and straightened to his full height. He leaned heavily on the wall and began the slow, painful trek toward the door that seemed an insurmountable distance from where he now stood. He breathed through tightly clenched teeth as he struggled to get one foot in front of the other. He heard the familiar click that he recognized as the bolt being slid across and he stared at the door as it slowly opened to reveal his captor.
"Well, it's good to see you awake again."
"Go to hell," he managed and stood to his full height as two men entered and latched onto his arms before they dragged him from his prison.

Seattle Day 4 - Space Needle/Downtown
Hop on the 74 bus downtown from the Uni District; hop off at the Space Needle. This is the Frank Gehry-designed Experience Music Project building, which also houses the Science Fiction Museum. Flickr photoset here, or read on for more.
The Science Fiction Museum doesn't allow photography inside the building. This is fortunate, because it means you'll be spared me rabbiting on about Every Single Bloody Exhibit. Suffice to say that there's some pretty cool stuff in there - Paul Allen's Ansari X-Prize trophy; a lot of first-edition science-fiction books, including H.G. Wells' The Time Machine from the 1890s, an entire weapons cabinet full of props from various series, and a T-800 - I'm not sure how they can have that, though, because isn't it currently running the state of California? Short summary, though - the readers of this blog will want to get themselves over to Seattle just for this. The Space Needle is pretty impressive. It's about 520 feet tall - and unlike Centrepoint Tower in Sydney, the lifts are on the outside of the support column. The monorail was out of service, so I decided to walk from one end of the run to the other. It's not actually all that far - about three-quarters of a mile or so - but I stopped on the way at a nice little cafe for lunch. There's also a glassblowing studio along the monorail route, where you can go in and watch the craftsmen at work - just like Venice, without having to learn Italian. The world is clearly running out of street names. The monorail ends at the Westlake Center mall, by which time it was raining buckets - I ended up doing what I should've done back on day one and bought an umbrella. Here's a Google map of the (short) route I walked.

As the daughter of a drug dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. It's safer to keep her mouth shut and stay out of sight. Struggling to raise her little brother, Donal, eight-year-old Wavy is the only responsible adult around. Obsessed with the constellations, she finds peace in the starry night sky above the fields behind her house, until one night her star gazing causes an accident. After witnessing his motorcycle wreck, she forms an unusual friendship with one of her father's thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of gold.
By the time Wavy is a teenager, her relationship with Kellen is the only tender thing in a brutal world of addicts and debauchery. When tragedy rips Wavy's family apart, a well-meaning aunt steps in, and what is beautiful to Wavy looks ugly under the scrutiny of the outside world. Kellen may not be innocent, but he is the fixed point in Wavy and Donal's chaotic universe. Instead of playing it safe, Wavy has to learn to fight for Kellen, for her brother, and for herself.
Talk about an ugly and wonderful journey! This book was one that hit me square in the heart. I didn't just read it, I lived it. It is a very rare instance that a novel comes along that has such a profound impact on me. It happens maybe once or twice per year at the most. I know this book was fiction but it felt so real.
All the Ugly and Wonderful Things tells the story of a girl named Wavy. It spans thirteen years of her life. It's a slow-paced book, but it is not boring at all. The author's writing is exceptional. The style in which she wrote the story is kind of perfect. It's not just told from the main characters' POV but also from many supporting characters' POV. (Props to the audio narrator on distinguishing the many voices.) This allows the reader to see the story from all angles which is pretty genius if you think about it.
"Truth was she took care of him as much as he did her. There was a few times when he was younger that I thought to myself, One of these days, he ain't gonna show up for work, 'cause he'll be at home with a gun in his mouth. I had an uncle did that. Jesse Joe was a man with a deep streak of lonely, until Wavy came along."
I think sometimes we forget that some (many) people have an extremely horrible childhood full of neglect, drug abuse, and things children should never experience. This book really brought that to the forefront. It deeply challenged me in what I view as right and wrong because real life is not black and white. Life is full of grays and every other color under the rainbow. This book also made me feel grateful for the childhood I had. It wasn't perfect but there was always love. This book also made me want to hold my kids tighter and protect them always.
I'd like to challenge all my book friends and anyone reading this review to read ATUAWT. I dare you not to be moved by this story about all the ugly and wonderful things life has to offer.
"I wanted a fairy tale ending for Wavy, because if she could find happiness, there would be hope for me, too."

This week: Readers reveal the secret to last week's card trick, and a couple of things worth mentioning.
How did they do that?
Many of you wrote to let me know how that card trick I mentioned last week works. The most succinct explanation I received was from a long-time reader and customer named Helen:
None of the cards in the first hand appear in the second hand so it doesn't matter what card you pick.
Sent from my iPad
Thank you, Helen, and everyone. Yes, I should have seen that.
Here come the ads in Facebook Messenger
Facebook ads are coming to Facebook Messenger. If you use the Facebook Messenger app on your Android or Apple phone, you're going to start seeing ads in your "private" messages. And like the rest of the ads in the rest of Facebook, they're going to be targeted at you, based on your click and browsing history.
Ads will start rolling out this month (July 2017) and eventually will reach all of us who use this app. While I can find no mention of ads in the Facebook Messenger version that runs in a computer's browser, I think it's reasonable to expect the ads will show up in your Facebook Messenger conversations, wherever you view them.
I haven't seen them yet. Have you?
Windows 10 has Themes
A well-loved feature of Windows 7 was its Desktop Themes. You could choose from hundreds of free themes to change the look of your Windows 7 Desktop. Themes display wallpapers of your choice. (Not screensavers — the desktop wallpaper is always displayed. Screen savers kick in when the computer has been idle for a set period.) Themes also include sounds, changed the colours around the windows, and sometimes customized cursors.
Microsoft removed Themes with Windows 8, and although Windows 10 earlier versions allowed lots of custom settings to wallpapers, sounds, and cursors, it wasn't until Creators Update that Themes re-emerged.
Not sure if you have Windows 10 Creators Update? Here's how to see what version of Windows your computer is running:
- Press the Windows Key and the R key simultaneously to open a "Run" box
- In the box type winver
- Click on OK
- "About Windows" opens. If you have Version 1703, that's Creators Update
If you have Creators Update, you're good to go. There are more than a hundred themes, but they're tricky to find. Let's get started.
- Open the Settings app (Start | Settings (the gear icon — or – WinKey + I)
- Click on Personalization | Themes
- If you like your current settings and might want to return to them, Save them and name them something informative
- Now click on Get more themes in Store
- Scroll through the themes until you find one you like
- Click on your selection
- Click on Get
- Wait for the download
- Click on Launch
- Now back in Settings | Personalization | Themes, look for your new theme in the section called Apply a theme
- Click on your selection
- Click on Background, Sound, Color, or Mouse cursor if you want to customize any of those settings.
- When you're finished customizing, close the Settings window and admire your new desktop
To go back to your previous theme or choose another theme, open Settings | Personalization | Themes and click on the one you want.
What do you think? Do you use any of these themes? Which ones do you like?

- Wedding: September 2015
Good morning, bees! I would really appreciate your advice and insight with my finances. This is long, so buckle in!
Background: Fiance and I are in our late 20s. I bring home ~$20,500/year after taxes, and Fiance makes slightly less. We both have substantial credit card debt; I have ~$9,000 and he has closer to ~$10,000 if not more. I have ~$19,000 in student loan debt. The monthly payment for one loan (the biggest one) is $190, and the payment for the other is $120. FI is still in school and will be until late summer of next year; he's been in school off and on for 10 years, so when he graduates he will have substantial student loan debt (~$45,000? I really don't know – thinking about his future monthly payment scares me). Our wedding is at the end of September 2015, and we've set a budget of $10,000. I don't anticipate getting any help from family, so it's all on us. We haven't saved/spent anything on the wedding yet. My parents have sold a parcel of land and will send me an ~$18,000 check in March of next year, ostensibly to pay off my student loans. I am of the opinion that once I have that check, I can use it for whatever I want, and I want to make sure I use it in the best way possible! So, of the following scenarios, which do you think is the smartest move?
Scenario 1:
I use the check to completely pay off my student loans. Once the student loans are out of the picture, I will be able to focus completely on paying down my credit card debt. If I don't change my contributions to the joint account (currently $460/paycheck – I get paid ~$800 every two weeks), I'll be able to get my credit card debt completely paid off by the end of 2014 (I also plan on putting my entire 2013 tax refund of ~$2,000 toward my credit cards). Downside: there will be no "extra money" to put toward the wedding until the start of 2015 (which means that most of the wedding expenses will end up on a credit card, creating more debt), and Fiance will get no assistance with his own debt until my debt and the wedding are out of the picture (i.e., his credit card payments and student loan payments will overlap, and I just don't think he can handle that).
Scenario 2:
Fiance and I split the check and completely pay off all of our credit card debt. If there's any money left over after doing this (unlikely), it will go toward my student loan debt. This will leave me with a $310/month student loan payment for the next 6 years, but I'll have several hundred dollars "extra" per month to put toward the wedding (assuming my monthly contribution to the joint account does not change). FI will also have additional money to put toward the wedding (at least until his student loan payments start at the end of 2014). Under this scenario, I think it would make sense for us to have our paychecks deposited into the joint account instead of our individual accounts like we do currently. Set "fun money" allowances will be transferred to individual accounts each payday. Student loan payments will be paid out of the joint account. A separate checking account will be established for wedding expenses. We may not be able to come up with the entire $10,000 wedding budget in cash between March 2014 and September 2015 (this would require coming up with ~$600/month). Therefore, we'll need to put some expenses on a credit card, creating new debt. However, we can apply for a joint credit card for the wedding with no interest for however many months to avoid accumulating interest charges, and all cash gifts from the wedding will go toward paying off the wedding debt.
Scenario 3:
I use the check to pay off all of my credit card debt as well as my student loan with the highest balance and monthly payment. This would leave me with a $120/month student loan payment for the next 6 years, and the remainder of my income would go into the joint and wedding accounts. Since this scenario would mean that Fiance gets no immediate assistance with his own debt, it would make the most sense for me to shoulder the lion's share of the joint/wedding expenses, leaving Fiance with more money to put toward his credit card debt. I'm honestly not sure how Fiance is approaching his credit card payments currently. I give myself a strict $50/paycheck for "fun money" but he doesn't do the same. If we go with this scenario, we'll need to have a come-to-Jesus talk about his finances, which I do not think would go poorly. It would just be eye-opening for both of us. Under this scenario, Fiance should be able to pay off a solid chunk of his credit card debt before his student loan payments start. After his credit cards are paid off, we'll probably move to the checking account scenario described at the end of Scenario 2.
Scenario 4:
We set aside $10,000 from the check, which will cover the entirety of the wedding budget. I'll use the remainder to pay off my credit cards. This leaves me with a $310/month student loan payment for 6 years and several hundred dollars per month to put toward an increased contribution to the joint account. Downside: FI gets no assistance with his own debt aside from a decrease in his contribution to the joint account. We'll need to have the same talk as described in Scenario 3. He will most likely not be able to pay off his credit card debt before his student loan payments start, so I imagine I'll be left shouldering the majority of our joint expenses until his credit card debt is gone.
I think Scenario 2 makes the most sense, followed by 4, then 3, then 1. What do you think? By all means, offer critiques and alternatives! I'm happy to provide additional info if anybody needs it.
