Parable of the rich fool
This is a parable found in the Bible which Jesus told to teach people about getting ready for the after life
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
(Luke 12:13-21)
So whether you're rich or poor, healthy or sick, famous or unknown, fat or thin, educated or not, fat or thin, tall or short, you will still die. Are you worrying too much about this life? Read the sequel.....
Sequel to the parable of the rich fool
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
(Luke 12:22-34)

- Wedding: November 1999
I'm having a bit of a tough time choosing a vendor. I can't find many reviews online for any places near me in the city.
I have found a few places that have people who would come to my house the day of the wedding. They charge around $60-$70 for hair. (I have not found prices for makeup yet). I like this idea as it makes my life easier that morning.
Or there's the option of going to a salon. There may be 5 of us getting our hair done, so I'm not sure if this would be the overall easier way.
I don't know what to do or how to decide! Do I go just by price since there aren't many reviews anywhere online?

What 7764 is that? Let´s find out step by step.
Tag Archive for Autavia Skipper
Another Skipper 7764 with great provenience!
After long time not seeing another discovered Skipper in the Autavia compressor case now another one popped up. The Skipper worked hard on Regattas but is still in good shape – the engraving on the case back is still visible and the bezel just got some minor scratches!
And our friend Manuel took the chance to catch this gem.
The real "Skipper Skipper"!
Let´s introduce a Heuer Skipper 7764 in an Autavia compressor case with "normal" hands and with a serial that fits perfect in the line – and it is the most early one.
It is not only the very early serial that makes this Skipper really fantastic – it is the story behind this toolwatch.

Sharing Permissions on LAN - I can see one Desktop but not the other
All Machines running windows 7 pro or Ultimate
All three computers have an "Administrator" account with a username called Mom&Dad
Computer 1 just has "Mom&Dad" as the sole Administrator account.
The other 2 computers then have an additional account that is being used (ie: "ChildsName-1" and "ChildsName-2")
All computers have passwords associated with all user accounts.
All computers have 2 partitions: C: and D: drive.
I have set the 2 Child computers to share C: and D: drives with the "Mom&Dad" username (with full permissions) which is on each of their computers as a user.
I can access through the network both C: and D: drive on both computers with one exception.
On ChildName-1 computer I can access their desktop \\ChildName-1\c\Users\ChildName-1\Desktop without any trouble.
On ChildName-2 computer I can't get past \\ChildName-2\c\Users\ChildName-2
without getting the "Windows cannot access \\ChildName-2\c\Users\ChildName-2 Network Error message.
In other words I can't access their desktop, but everything else works perfectly.
I have the permissions set up the same on both. They are both running the same firewall with the same settings.
I am not sure what it is I am doing wrong.
Any Idea?
|My System Specs
|23 Jan 2012
Read this pdf. Network File Sharing.pdf
Ignore the first part. Start from 'My method of file sharing' and tell me what shows after clicking 'Permissions'
|My System Specs
|23 Jan 2012
I have "Everyone" with full control selected.
I have even specifically added "Administrators" as a group with full permissions and "Mom&Dad" as a specific user with full permissions.
In addition, I have added the same info to the Securities tab as that also affects Networking accessability -- I understand that windows 7 will take the most restrictive of the 2 which is why I added it to both.
Further more, what I don't understand is why it is I can access pretty much every other file and folder, but not the one that will allow me to access files on the desktop.
Now, there is a little "Lock" icon on that folder. I am not sure what that is. Could that some how be causing the issue?
What does that mean anyhow?
Hopefully this info helps.

What account did you use as I asked you to do. You might have to do it for all accounts.
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2012
Sorry Roderunner, I am not sure I caught the account request.
I was trying to allow the "Mom&Dad" accounts (which are on all 3 computers - and have the same password) to access ALL of the ChildName-1 and ChildName-2 computers files.
What has me confused is that I have allowed the access to :c and :d drive partitions and I do have full control (read write modify, etc) on everything except on the folders that allow me access to their Desktop.
Where I get stopped (via the network) is here:
while on my way to here:
I have even gone directly to:
and changed the share permissions on that folder directly (even though they should have been inherited.
That is what has me confused. Hopefully that makes sense.
Can you clarify one thing for me please; Can you not just give the permission to "Mom&Dad" without having to enter in the "Everyone" entry? Why does the "Everyone" have to be there?
It seems counter intuitive to me to have to put that in.
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2012
My 2 computers have the same username & password. Their is only one user (me). My only sharing folder is on my desktop pc. When it was made, when I reached the sharing section for permission, all I had to do was give it full permission, which showed as 'Everyone', why it never gave my name is a mystery. If you do as in my pdf from 'My method of file sharing', see my image.
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2012
I am on the road right at the moment and will check them when I get back.
I was hoping to access the actual "Desktop" rather than just a folder on it that is shared. Either way I'll look when I get back.
Security Question: What does "Everyone" mean exactly . . . if you still have to enter in a Username and Password to access the machine shouldn't you just be able to enter the User as the one you could give the permissions to?
I just want to under stand what entering "Everyone" is really doing there. It seems kind of ominous. No?
|My System Specs
|28 Jan 2012
Ok, I am back.
Here is what I did:
Thanks again Roderunner for the assistance!
Again, I ask the question, what are the security implications of choosing "Everyone" when sharing a drive or folder verses just giving a User who is already apart of that particular machines "Users" access through the LAN . . . especially if you still have to "Login" with your credentials?

A few days ago, Alan Williamson wrote an article for Nightmare Mode where he claimed to be a "murderer" who has been "killing games journalism" because he has been writing about video games for free for the past decade or so.
This is a ridiculous statement. There are fan writers for every genre, and because of those fan writers, the community grows. That is the nature of the way an economy works. Are there problems with video game journalism? Yes. There is the problem that many games journalists don't understand how to write beyond a surface-level response to a game experience. How many times do we have to read the article style where the first paragraph is a shitty short story of a small experience in the game followed by "and that was when I knew that Game X was amazing!"? Additionally, lots of video game writing is caught up in the economy of video game sales–the difference between comics writing over the past 30 years or science fiction fandom and the video game writing community is that the latter is very concerned with making sure that you buy another bullshit iteration of the same manshooter mechanics or 3D hack-n-slash every six months. Publishing houses don't send out promotional materials that cost more than a game itself does in order to publicize a new book, but that is common in the games industry (so common that journalists received Darksiders II tombstones. Why? Who fucking knows?)
So this gets me to my proper point.
Rachel Helps responded to Williamson's initial article. After frontloading some arguments about Williamson's cognitive dissonance when it comes to his own stance on video game journalism, she writes (this is long)
For game reviews, the wisdom of the masses is more useful than the opinion of a rushed journalist. When I'm thinking of buying a videogame, I overwhelmingly trust things like Amazon reviews, which have little vested interest in maintaining a relationship with a PR contact for more review copies. Amazon reviews have a great variety–people who are fans of the series, people who play lots of games casually, and people who bought the game for their offspring. Basically the only thing professional game journalists have over Amazon reviewers is that they get to have the game sooner, and have an excellent grasp of the politics surrounding the publication of certain games.
Really good game criticism is hard to find. I'm not talking about "yes! you should rent this game!" I'm talking about criticism that makes me appreciate a game I thought was terrible, or that helps me see the world in a different light. To me, reading really good game criticism is almost more fun than actually playing games. I think big game outlets are gradually realizing this, since they've been snatching up my favorite bloggers. Free games journalism isn't killing paid journalism; it is revitalizing it.
Most of this is not journalism. Neither journalism nor criticism should ever have a relationship with telling a consumer what she should buy.
The argument made at the end is where we need to look. The fact that bloggers are getting jobs, for Helps, means that games journalism is being revitalized. But that isn't the reality. Instead, these people are getting picked up and assimilated into the video game media outlets because they a) come with an audience and b) require no effort to integrate into the system.
Bifo writes about the notion of the cognitariat, a new kind of laborer who is exploited because she or he has a certain technological skillset that can be adapted into the workflow of different industries–having a good handle on the basics of computer technology makes a person qualified for lots and lots of different positions. The games journalist is a prime example of this, with image manipulation, social media experience, and knowledge of various blogging platforms constituting a body of knowledge that is valuable for the games media outlet.
Helps' favorite bloggers aren't being snatched up and paid because they are doing amazing work. They are being assimilated because they are the best adapted, and already used to, their immaterial labor being consumed.
Obviously, I write for free on the internet, but I consider this as part of my workflow. If no one read it, I would still do it–this is a way to force me to make my thoughts more concrete before they hit other channels. I've also written for various game blogs and even done some paid work from time to time, so I'm not outside of this assemblage. But I'm not comfortable with either side. Things are both profoundly shitty and pretty alright in the video game writing world, at the same time even. But lets not go around saying everything is beautiful or that everything hurts. Lets have some nuance.

The thousand hairline cracks in an aged face
match the hairline cracks in an aged cup
and come from similar insults: careless, base
self-absorbed gestures from a younger face,
cruel and fine. Bang! Each disturbed trace
deepens to a visible crack. A break-up,
a mix-up, a wild mistake: these show in a face
like the hairline cracks in an ancient cup.
Neither wholly broken nor all used up
the cup becomes a visage, unstable.
One never knows what will crack it open
and finish it. Banged too hard on a table?
Yet happiness might crack a face open
in a better way: hairline tracery as laugh lines
releasing the joys of ancient thoughts
cupped into use, and suddenly able.

Belgium is a festival!
August 2016
A festival that, over the years, grew to be much more then only the beats! The organisation always manages to surprise the party people with a powerful combination of pounding beats, culinary delights and mind-blowing (art) decorations and activities! Tomorrowland gathers all the best of Belgium and shows the creativity of the Belgian people! Similar to the festival, Belgium itself has a lot of love to offer!
Come and join the festival of life in our beautiful country and experience some of these attractions:
The work of famous recent Belgian artists Luc Tuymans and Arne Quinze (famous of his One World Bridge at Tomorrowland) can be admired all over the world.
But Belgium itself has a lot of beautiful art museums.
You want to discover Belgian art? Think about visiting the Magritte Museum in Brussels. The recently renovated museum is one of the constituent museums of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and is dedicated to the work of the Belgian surrealist artist, René Magritte.
Or the Hergé Museum in Louvain-la-Neuve, only a short ride away from Brussels. The museum invites you on a journey through the life of Tintin's creator.
The Hergé Museum offers a comprehensive perspective via thousands of sources from and related to the work of Hergé with more than 80 original plates, and 800 photographs, documents and objects brought together under one roof.
Culinary Delights
There's no denying it. Belgium is a foodie's paradise. Our love of good food is in our DNA. Fresh local products, talented chefs, and the love of dining together are at the roots of our eating culture.
With over more than 400 types of beer and the production of 172,000 tons of pure chocolate every year, we are allowed to call ourselves the country of beer and chocolate.
But there's more than chocolate and beer in life, as they say.
Thanks to the Flemish Wave of young, talented chefs, Flanders is set to become the new destination for lovers of fine food. Check out the Flanders Kitchen Rebels brochure 2016 and meet some of the outstanding young chefs.
Can't manage another mouthful? What about tasting the history of Flanders cultural treasures?
Belgian has a lot of beautiful cities, famous for their history, modern way of life and buzzing nightlife… Described by many as "Little Venice", Bruges is one of the most unique European cities you must see when visiting Belgium.
Ghent on the other hand is called "the city of lights". It is the city of enlightenment paradoxes with a lot of young vibes. Every summer you can enjoy the "Gentse Feesten" (a 10 day free festival with music from national and international bands and artists). Next to this vibrant nightlife, Ghent has a lot to offer for art lovers! You can enjoy the works of our old masters, like the adoration of the Mystic Lamb, a painting of the Van Eyck brothers painted in 1432. It is the highlight of the Flemish Primitives and a milestone in art history.
We have not even mentioned our capital Brussels, with a lot of beautiful buildings constructed in Art Nouveau or Antwerp, a very modern city where you can find a lot of young starting fashion designers.
With all this variation between art, fashion, culinary treats, beautiful sceneries, three official languages and English widely spoken… it is needless to say that Belgium is quite an experience!
And the one big advantage: you can enjoy all this without having to take several flights or long transfers… It's all just a blink away!
Belgium really feels like ONE big festival!
Should you need more information, please contact Event Masters, Mr. Bert Knuts at firstname.lastname@example.com

Shortages of all sorts of stuff in the Northeast are making headlines. There is lots of commentary on the situation, including lots that echo what I'm about to write.
Here is NY Governor Cuomo saying stupid stuff:
"We understand why there was a shortage," Cuomo said. "The harbor is now open. There should be a real change in conditions and people should see it quickly."
Uh, no. You don't understand why there is a shortage. How do I know he doesn't know? Anti-gouging laws. The best way to ensure that there will be shortages of anything in any situation? Fix the price.
How do I know gas prices, for example, haven't risen to meet the increased demand and lack of supply? Instagram – a pic from a Getty station in Wyckoff.
The solution is simple – let prices adjust to demand and there will be no shortages!

Same-sex couples who create a union through marriage or domestic partnership need to know that the two types of legal relationships come with different rights.
Generally speaking, marriage affords same-sex couples more rights than domestic partnership does. That's because domestic partners are not considered spouses under federal law. As a result, same-sex couples in domestic partnerships do not have the same tax benefits or Social Security benefits as married same-sex couples.
Learn more about the legal differences between marriage and domestic partnership in the video below:
It is extremely important for same-sex couples needing legal assistance to work with an attorney who has experience in this area of law. State and federal laws applying to same-sex couples are constantly changing to catch up with modern times, and your lawyer should know what your rights are under the law.

In the winter, Muong Hoa valley under clouds like a " heaven". When ethnic groups grow rice on fields, the valley carries on its "green shirt" of the leaf plating. Until the harvest, the valley will turns into "a golden carpet" all around the mountain.
Ham Rong mountain is right in the center of Sapa town. Standing on the top of Ham Rong mountain, you can enjoy panoramic views of Sapa, Muong Hoa valley and Ta Phin hiding in the mist. To Ham Rong, tourists'd like to go to the garden, there are clouds cover the mountain top, flowers bloom on the surrounding .

When upgrade eligability hits, sticking with SGS2 or switching?
- I dont know if I got a glitchy phone or what, but to be honest I havent been all that enamored with my SGS2. I do like the fact that it has one of the best cameras and that may be the #2 selling point to me however the software and overall performance has been buggy and the battery, even on gingerbread is just too feeble for me.
If you are like me you got your SGS2 the first day it came out. 18 months later when the upgrade hits, I think I am going to jump ship. If you plan on doing the same, what are you going after?
Personally I dont want anything on the market right now. The SGS2 has left a bad taste in my mouth and doesnt make me want a SGS3. The Galaxy Nexus isnt the top end phone so thats out. I am hoping sprint gets something bad *** this fall/winter.
Even though it seems rather large, I am kind of eyeing the Galaxy Note 2 if Sprint offers it.
Id like to hear other thoughts from you future detractors like me.07-30-2012 01:00 PM
- Guess I should have probably read that similarly posted thread right before mine. I really kind of wanted to hear the other new phones coming out that you all are looking forward to...07-30-2012 01:09 PM
- I will be sticking with the GS2 for the near future. I just bought a Nexus 7 so that satisfies my jellybean cravings and ensures I'll have the latest version of Android for a while. Also I've enjoyed my GS2 w/ minimal problems. Battery life has taken a slight hit w/ ICS (not as drastic as many ppl are reporting though) but I have two spare batteries so that's no big deal.
My next phone will prob be the next Nexus phone but again I'm in no rush to upgrade. Debating whether to ditch Sprint and go prepaid but having a data cap scares me.07-31-2012 07:18 AM

Since New Jesery did away with mandatory vehicle safety inspections required to get a valid registration sticker, inspection and fixing of certain items that would have been required for the eliminated safety portion of the motor vehicle evaluation process seem to have slipped from the consciousness of the driving public.
At least that's what their mechanics are saying after the mechanical, or safety inspection portion, of the process was eliminated in August of 2010. State officials said they've seen fewer vehicles come to state inspection stations for emissions testing, which was partly attributed to new regulations exempting new cars from being inspected for five years.
A survey of members of the the New Jersey Gas-Convenience Store Retailers Association said that the number of customers having inspections performed has declined by "significant numbers" and that drivers were putting off the types of mechanical repairs previously needed to pass the state's safety inspection, when items are brought to their attention.
"Our members are finding two things: A lot of vehicles aren't getting inspected period, and some drivers are under the impression they don't need the emissions inspection," Sal Risalvato, executive director of the association, told the Asbury Park Press. "When we (mechanics) find things and bring it to their attention, they're choosing not to do certain things, like replace a cracked windshield, or they put it off."
Bad tires and faulty brakes are the biggest safety concerns and could lead to an accident, Risalvato said.

Devil's Food White-Out Layer Cake
Chef's Note
"The cover pictuure on Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours. The white marshmallow filling and frosting is a good contrast for the cake. Sweet and light, it balances the rich tasting chocolate cake. It is very easy to work with, spreading smoothly with very little effort. Chill time is included."
READY IN:2hrs 30mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup cocoa powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate or 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1⁄2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 1⁄2 cup water, warm
- 2⁄3 cup chocolate chips (regular or mini)
- 4 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 3⁄4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease 2 8-inch round cake pans, line the bottoms with circles of parchment paper (or see recipe #452719), and butter the top of the parchment paper (if using wax paper, do NOT butter the top of the paper or it will stick.).
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light. Beat in eggs one at a time, waiting until each is incorporated (1 minute per egg) to add the next, then beat in the vanilla and the melted chocolate.
- Combine buttermilk and water in a measuring cup. Working in two or three additions, alternate adding buttermilk mixture and flour mixture to the sugar mixture. Scrape sides to ensure batter is even. Stir in chocolate chips and divide batter into prepared pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cakes cool in their pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks and peel off parchment paper. Cool completely.
- Once cakes are cool, slice each in half. Three slices will be used for cake layers. One should be set aside and crumbled to make the topping.
- For the Frosting: Put the egg whites in to bowl of an electric mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer nearby.
- Combine sugar, cream of tartar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cool until syrup reaches 242 degrees F (using a candy thermometer).
- As syrup nears correct temperature, begin to beat egg whites to soft peaks. Slowly stream in the hot sugar syrup, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat for about 5 minutes after everything has been incorporated, or until frosting reaches room temperature.
- To Assemble: Place one layer of the chocolate cake on a cake stand or serving platter.
- Top with a generous amount of white frosting and spread into an even layer. Repeat with remaining two layers.
- Spread frosting down the sides of the cake and use a large, offset spatula to keep everything even. When the cake has been completely frosted, take the extra, crumbled cake layer and pat the crumbs into the sides of the cake (one option is up the sides and over the top, but left the center of the top white).
- Refrigerate for at least one hour and up to overnight before serving.

Both question and answer come right away at the beginning of this novel -What is the measure of love? We come to appreciate both love and the one we love when it is gone. And the best way to exorcise these demons is to write about it -in detailed, microscopic thoroughness about the story, the outcome, the turmoil and the redemption. Actually the book leaves an open ending so you could pick a side or choose a battle: give the love story a second chance or help the two protagonists come to terms with themselves and move on.
As she once confessed, Jeanette Winterson is in love with language above all. The story, the plot, the narrative are merely a pretext to play with words and ignite a striking imagery of the feelings, emotions, thoughts and gestures. I believe she is more infatuated with words and their mechanics rather than a person, with the way words shine upon the loved one and spins around the story to become an immortal one. This woman is drunk on love as it paints itself in and out of the words. Her character falls in love with a married woman, Louise, breaks the heart of another, then leaves the red-haired spouse because she has cancer and Elgin, her husband, seems to hold the right key and answers to curing her. So far, this sounds terribly romantic but we often end up doing the wrong things in the name of love. Louise is left heart-broken once the main character flees the grounds and exiles herself into a place of coldness. In the middle of nowhere, she bleeds love through her pores and turns her heart inside out in search for answers and a solution to put Louise out of her mind. The agonizing process is beautifully worded, brushing an aching painting of love lost and the way we torture ourselves in the name of love. It turns Louise and the love affair into a unique thing, a passion that makes the narrator recollect past affairs only to point at the greatness of this one and to aggrandize both suffering and romance.
The most interesting and devastating part of the book is when she dismantles Louise into body parts and organs, singing them all and stating her love for each little inch of this woman. It is passionate, sexual, frenetic, almost making your mouth water at the richness of the depiction. It keeps the reader wondering whether such detail is specific to women writers or whether men have the patience to observe such intricate pattern in love and the person next to them. It brings into my mind Orhan Pamuk's novel The Museum of innocence where the writer mourns lost love and spends the rest of his life gathering proofs of his unique love and chasing the woman he loved, yet never managed to keep, all over the world. Still Pamuk does not analyze and split hairs in four, rather has a more evocative, nostalgic approach to his suffering. Men seem to be more inclined to quantify the meaning of love in parts and bits, measuring it against very palpable proofs, whereas women dwelve on the things left hanging, the unspoken, the uttered questions, the impossible answers, the touches, the geography of the loved body and the smell of familiar territory.
This book is also about jealousy and cruelty, rejection and despise. Love is easily turned into a multitude of other feelings, embracing the shades of other stances. In every great or minor affair, feelings reach a peak then slowly descend into a linear status quo or degenerate into other negative emotions. Elgin goes from comfort love to an acute sense of possession and then to malice; whether his new relationship is meant to bring him acceptance of the previous and a new start remains a mystery. On the other hand, our narrator climbs the peaks of insanity and despair only to come back a wounded, broken being. Louise returns and time takes a halt. The story that was, closes its circle and we are left to choose a new beginning or a lesson learnt at the expense of some broken hearts. It is up to us to decide. As in love, choice stands written in our bodies. Anatomically speaking, we are bound to live past the skin!

Alejandro Paul Crush
Veer or My Fonts to shop or window shop for fonts, I tend to gravitate to the work of a graphic designer from Argentina, Alejandro Paul. His fonts are beautiful and timeless. I note he is a graphic designer who is also a type designer. I think that is an important trait for designing fonts. They are more keen on understanding the design needs when coming up with fonts. Most, if not all his fonts have options in Open Type or a glyph palette which allows you to customize. And the ornaments and swooshes that come with it, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Some of my favorites are here and here and here.

During these tough times we will likely encounter a situation where the appraised value does not support the sales price.
In some cases the seller will accept the appraised value and renegotiate. However in the case of a seller who won't but really do want to sell their home, what should you do?
Scenario: Sellers property is listed too high. Completed appraisal supports 15,000 less than the agreed purchase price.
Assuming this is an FHA loan with the seller paying 3% toward closing costs.  Seller doesn't want to accept less than the purchase price and threatens to put it back on the market and return the earnest money.
Fact: If another buyer comes along the same thing will happen. The value is what it is and the seller will be right back where they started. Only an all cash buyer or a buyer with a large down payment can close this sale. In a buyers market it is not likely that any buyer would want to pay more for a property than what it is wort. A lot of buyers in this market will be FHA approved. Assuming the appraiser "pushed" the value an underwriter would disagree with the value and the seller would end up with the same result. If the market is declining time lost is money lost.
I hope that somewhere this might help someone get that tough deal closed.

Valdivia carries extra weight
ARCADIA, Calif. - At the top of the stretch in last Saturday's Sunshine Millions Classic, Buzzards Bay and jockey Jose Valdivia took what appeared to be a brief lead in the million-dollar event, igniting memories of the great promise once held for the handsome chestnut.
Valdivia himself, freighted with personal torment, was competing for the first time in more than a week. But somehow, head down and driving, he was focused on the job and doing it well. Between the two of them, horse and rider, there was enough drama to fill the front page. Do you believe in miracles?
Not that day. Buzzards Bay fired and fell back, just as he has been doing lately in stakes company, and settled for fifth place behind Go Between. As for Valdivia, once free of the adrenal rush that accompanies most heated stretch runs, the awful reality of his desperately sick baby girl in a nearby Pasadena hospital returned like a bad meal. Shoulders slumped, eyes downcast, he walked back to the room. There were two more horses to ride.
First, full disclosure. As the father of a daughter, age 2 years and 3 months, this reporter would rather deal with issues like synthetic track failures, steroid abuse, or muck pile disposal than brush close to the emotional trauma being faced by Valdivia and his family. There but for the grace of God, and all that jazz.
What Siena Valdivia is going through, at the age of 18 months, is just plain awful. Hit with viral pneumonia and then a collapsed lung, she was ventilated, sedated, and listed in critical condition. She teetered for more than a week in the intensive care unit before even a pinprick of hopeful light appeared at the end of a long, dark tunnel.
On top of it all, this should have been a time of great celebration. It was just past midnight, Tuesday, Jan. 15, when Renee Valdivia, a collegiate athlete herself, delivered into this world their second child, a son, with a graceful, textbook birth.
"Three pushes and he was here," praised Jose.
The proud new father went home that afternoon, only to be confronted by the sight of his little girl - a big sister now - subdued and wheezing. Their pediatrician needed only to hear Siena breathe over the phone to know it was serious.
"I had to call Renee, in the same hospital, and tell her I was on my way to the emergency room with Siena," Valdivia said. "As a mother who just gave birth, can you imagine what she was going through?
"Siena was breathing so hard," Valdivia went on. "They put a nebulizer mask on her, which she fought at first, so she was communicating to us with her eyes. Then they had to put her on the ventilator, and insert a tube down her throat. Seeing that was so hard, but I knew I had to be strong, for my wife and for her.
"The next day her lung collapsed," he continued. "She really took a dive. All of her vitals came crashing down. They inserted a chest tube and the lung inflated. But they were honest with us. Her lungs were so sick, there was a very good chance it would happen again. I felt like the world was crashing down on me."
Valdivia, who won the 2001 Breeders' Cup Mile aboard Val Royal, is the son and nephew of well-known jockeys. As a child in his native Peru he was severely asthmatic, which restricted his physical activity and even sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
"Now I can appreciate how hard it was for my father to focus on the riding, and at the same time worry about me," Valdivia said. "I was pretty sick. But I was never close to what Siena is going through."
After the virus did its damage, Siena's ravaged lungs were left to heal. On the Thursday before the Sunshine Millions, 10 days after the ordeal began, Siena was allowed to gently emerge from sedation.
"I was finally able to see her eyes," Valdivia said. "She was just so exhausted. She acknowledged me, and her mother. But I knew it wasn't really her. I know how feisty she is."
Too feisty, as it turned out. Siena began to rally physically, but it was too much too soon. Continued sedation will be required while she continues to heal.
"She's waking up and not used to having all those things attached to her," Valdivia said. "And they can't risk letting the breathing tube be moved. We've hit a plateau, but at least there is hope."
The Valdivias were married seven years ago, first in a civil ceremony in Siena, Italy. While touring the art-rich city, Jose grew to admire the work of Luca Signorelli, a student of Michelangelo.
"I said to Renee, if we ever had a son, I'd like to name him Luca Antonio, which is my middle name," Valdivia said. "Now we're getting friends who call, who heard about Siena, and then they say, 'Wasn't Renee due?' Their reaction is, like, 'I'm so sorry. Congratulations.'
"You know what's going to happen," Valdivia added. "Luca is gonna grow up and say, 'Can you believe it? My sister upstaged my birth. How do you do that?' "

Review: Rev. Road
Plot: A young couple living in the suburbs during the 1950s struggle to escape the crippling monotony of their lives.
Review: REVOLUTIONARY ROAD is based on a landmark 1962 novel by Richard Yates. Back when it came out, Im sure it was seen as a scathing critique of the fifties Middle America value system. Sadly, I really think the film version has come along far too late to be terribly relevant to our generation. Maybe if it had been made forty years ago it would be considered as classic, but in the wake of a show like MAD MEN, which brilliantly depicts that era, REVOLUTIONARY ROAD seems like old hat. In fact, at times it seems downright Douglas Sirk-ian (Douglas Sirk was a famous filmmaker in the fifties who specialized in soapy domestic dramas like this).
Still, it must be said that REVOLUTIONARY ROAD is a well crafted film. Sam Mendes does a great job directing this, although I feel its one of his weaker films so far. It has a lot in common with AMERICAN BEAUTY, but its not up to that level. Given the fact that it stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, youd expect a lot of good acting from the leads, and in that regard you wont go away unsatisfied.
Watching REVOLUTIONARY ROAD makes you happy that the ship sank at the end of TITANIC. I know, I know- bad joke. I simply couldnt resist. Ive really got to hand it to DiCaprio & Winslet- their characters in REVOLUTIONARY ROAD immediately make you forget that they ever convincingly played star crossed lovers ten years earlier. In this film, they are truly a match made in hell, with both of them playing almost completely unsympathetic characters.
I really hate people like the characters they play in REVOLUTIONARY ROAD. Ive known many pseudo intellectuals like these in my life, and to the credit of both actors, nobody forces us to care about these deeply unpleasant people, who are to busy collapsing under the weight of their own genius to ever give a second thought to the other people in their life, such as their children.
As good as Winslet and DiCaprio are though, the film is stolen by Michael Shannon, who has two quick scenes as Kathy Bates mentally unstable son (although I think hes the sanest one in the film), and damn near walks away with the movie every time hes on screen. Its really a star-making performance for Shannon, who usually plays one-note tough guys, or men of few words. Here hes a man of many words, and his dressing down of DiCaprio and Winslet towards the end of the film is reason enough to see this film, as he blows them both off-screen- which I imagine is not easy to do. Also worth mentioning is Dylan Baker, who's great in a tiny role as DiCaprio's boozing co-worker.
Overall, I liked REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, but I wouldnt say its an excellent film. Its a solid drama with lots of quality acting, but if you want to see a more entertaining depiction of that era, I suggest you check out MAD MEN, or a great underrated Gregory Peck movie from that era called THE MAN IN THE GRAY FLANNEL SUIT, which was also based on a famous novel.

Zebra, $5.99, ISBN 0-8217-7849-8
Contemporary Romance, 2005
Cherry on Top demonstrates that you can give a few million dollars to a romance heroine but she will still find a way to become the most miserable hag in the world. It is a good thing that Cherry Harte is fictitious or, as Elmer Fudd would say, it is hunting season as I go get my gun.
Cherry, our heroine, is left standing at the altar when she also learns that she has hit the mother of all jackpots at the lottery. With her millions, she takes off to Mystic Beach, Florida… when she spends all her time joylessly trying to impress the society ladies there in an attempt to find "respectability". Hello? Who cares about respect when you're rolling in dollar bills, right? Like Wyclef Jean would say, some live for the bill, some kill for the bill, but our dumb twit whines even with the bills. As she spends the rest of the story acting as if her self-respect is going for bargain bin rates while dramatically playing the dumb martyr as she tries to clean up her useless father's mess, I feel this urge to go Wu-Tang Clan all over her bony dumb ass.
The hero Luke Chance is no prize either. He judges all rich women harshly to the point that the moment Cherry shows up at his garage in order to get her car fixed, he loses his mind and actually castigates her based on the assumptions he has about her character! And then he loans her his lousy vehicle, knowing full well that it will break down soon and leave her stranded on the roadside on a hot day. This is a hero? Someone hand me my gun. I know there and then that Cherry is stupid because after the unpleasant initial episode with Luke, she insists that she feels some chemistry with Luke. Yes, dear, and the unpleasant stench of ammonia is also due to chemistry in action. Even when Luke sees some sense and realizes that Cherry is too stupid to be anything like Ivana Trump, he turns into a creepy control freak who insists on making all decisions for Cherry.
Because the two characters are so hopelessly unpleasant and chemistry-free, Ms Long puts in some matchmaking secondary characters who insist that Cherry and Luke are meant to be. Throw in a lame subplot designed to let Cherry play the martyr, plenty of eye-rolling "you don't need money, you just need to be yourself!" messages, and a most painful unromantic romance and I can only say that Cherry on Top tastes like sour amaretto.

Last night was an early one. So early I forgot to set my alarm. Thankfully I woke up in time to have time to write but not enough to do this one. Learning something new it seems takes a toll on the mind, and brings about fatigue.Today it isn't too bad. I had a better opportunity to pray for strength, and I used my lunch time to reflect on Jesus and how his life was.During the course of the day it is always a pleasure to give back to God what he so lovingly gives to me.
There is something that bothers me, and it's my inability to guide the kids I teach in order to have a smoothy running class. I never had any children, the only experience is with my nieces and nephews. This is one area I truly need strength. I pray for God guidance but one thing I end up with is patience more than anything. I'm not a super teacher, and I wonder at times why am I doing it when I don't know how to run a classroom. I guess tonight I'm just trying to figure out where I belong in God's community. Hopefully His guidance will lead me to where I need to go or to know what I should do.
I don't know what it is lately either, I don't feel toubled about anything and my world is in ruins on a different note too. Does it matter, not really, because in this world it is important, but in God's it's not, so with that thought in mind I will close for tonight and lay all at your feet dear Father. I know as always you watch over me as I sleep and when I work, and I am glad.

Drone Standards Tough To Reach For Young Pilots
Megan Halek could be the best unmanned aircraft pilot coming out of the University of North Dakota's highly regarded aviation program this year: She's aced a training program and has enough air experience to fly private jets worldwide.
That won't be enough to land her dream job, flying the Predator drone for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Though she would enthusiastically take on a job that currently falls to federal pilots who'd mostly rather be up in the air, she's more than 1,300 hours short of the federal agency's required actual flight time and doesn't have the proper flying certificate.
"The CBP has their standards, and rightly so. They're looking for qualified people," said UND aviation professor John Bridewell, who is Halek's faculty adviser. "But at some point you have to question if there's a tradeoff between someone who simply has hours and this particular certificate versus someone who has capabilities and wants to be there."
Officials said they are looking at changing their hiring practices — especially since the majority of its pilot workforce is made up of baby-boomer federal agents that must retire at 57— but could not discuss specifics. Other agencies that fly drones, like some branches of the military, have less strict guidelines. Loosening the rules also could give students a stable, well-paying job out of college, rather than flying with regional airlines.
Updating hiring practices is a debate worth having, given the many job openings on the horizon among its 1,200-strong staff, according to Max Raterman, who directs the CBP's Air and Marine Operations in Grand Forks.
"I would say the agency is aware of the concerns of not being able to hire enough pilots," he said. "It's what to do about it."
Steve Bodin, a civilian pilot who had about 3,500 flying hours when he was hired with CBP in 2009, said he'd rather be flying a plane than operating a drone.
"You're going out and getting somewhere," the 32-year-old said. "The unmanned is cutting-edge stuff and we're at the front line of it so this is interesting. But it's not flying."
The Predator drone — a $13 million piece of equipment — is the most difficult plane, manned or unmanned, that Bodin said he has to land. It's harder to feel connected to a drone, he said.
"When you are flying a real airplane you can feel that kinetic sense, you have a peripheral view. You can sense the ground coming up, stuff like that," he said. "With the unmanned, there's no sound, there's no feeling, there's no rumbling or anything in there.
"It's all what you perceive out of a video monitor. It's a 2D plane and it's all pretty much reactive."
Halek decided from the first day of college that she wanted to major in unmanned aircraft.
"I am a pilot. I love being in the sky," said the 22-year-old who's set to graduate next month. "But this is something new and a platform I had my eye on since day one. I want to be in a program that is up and coming."
Raterman acknowledged that many college pilots have the technological savvy and the interest in flying unmanned aircraft.
"I think that will be helpful, but is that enough?" he asked. "As an emerging technology and platform, I do think it's going to sort itself out. I think we're all going to look back one day and say we were there back in the day when we were deciding this (hiring) model."

Engineering teams around the world are putting significant time, effort and research dollars into the idea of using aerial drones in disaster relief scenarios. It makes a lot of sense: Drones are able to fly into dangerous or inaccessible locations and — outfitted with cameras and communications gear — can provide reconnaissance imagery of a disaster site or even make initial contact with survivors.

I want to start bodybuilding. I'm putting great focus on nutrition. Every single diet plan for building muscle that I have looked at includes lots of eggs and egg whites! I really hate eggs, and I know how to get the egg whites out but it is really hard for me. I can't force myself to eat them. The only time I ever have eggs is in a recipe where I can't taste them. More than taste it's the texture that bothers me.
Are there any proteins to replace eggs and egg whites? Can you buy egg whites in a carton so you don't have to seperate them yourself? Or any healthy, clean recipes that I can mix them in with? I do not eat fish. The only meat I eat is chicken or ground beef, sometimes turkey. For other protein I drink whey protein.
I am a beginner obviously, haven't started anything yet... So please let me know what your experience is if you're going to answer!

While the races for two of the four general categories at the Gramms seem to be over, there is always a chance that someone else could prevail.
Frontrunner: "21" – Adele
Spoiler: "Wasting Light" – Foo Fighters
Adele's "21" has ranked at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart 18 times and is the closest thing to a lock in years. All three of her released singles peaked at #1. If there is an upset, it would be the Foo Fighters' "Wasting Light." "21," Bruno Mars' "Doo-Wops & Hooligans," Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" and Rihanna's "Loud" are all nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and could possibly split the vote. The Foo Fighters are the the only non-Pop Field representative and they could win.

Frontrunner – Bon Iver
Spoiler – Nicki Minaj
Bon Iver is the assumed frontrunner because they are nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist. However, other well-known artists have been nominated for the top three awards and lost Best New Artist: Billy Ray Cyrus (1992), Joan Osborne (1995), Hanson (1997), India.Arie (2001), James Blunt (2006) and Corinne Bailey Rae (2006).
Nicki Minaj is the best known and biggest seller among the nominees. She has collaborated with artists ranging from Rihanna to David Guetta to Madonna. Fourteen of the past twenty winners have been women. The last time a rap artist won was Arrested Development in 1992 making another such win way overdue.

My Favorite Crayons
My Favorite Crayons top unquilted. 58.5x75" Hand dyed and commercial cottons. Machine pieced.
I had lots of fun with this one. It was more improvisational once I got going, even tho I started with a plan. I forgot all about sticking with a color scheme, so this ended up being all the crayons in the box. It may get another strip or two on the sides, but not the top or bottom. I just ran out of time and energy for the day.
The process was to make the triangle combinations first and then stripsets and lengths of plain fabrics were added. I think the long expanses of plain are totally necessary to balance out the busy pieced sections. To make it look 'designed' I would line up sections with seams on the adjacent panel. To make things fit, fabric needed to be added or cut away as needed. And then there are other places that don't connect at all. That's just the way this quilt is.
