I was recently called on to help explain "negging", and it reminded of the one time that I [purposely] negged a girl. I was going to share the whole story on Twitter, but stopped when I realized a crowed conversation with just 78 characters to spare per tweet wasn't the right medium. So here we are.
Before I begin, some thoughts: "Negging", like much of Game, requires a strong sense of social and situational awareness in order to be used effectively. It's common for folk to read about these things, or to see them demonstrated once, and to then assume it's this one thing, applied in exactly the same manner, by any man, in any situation, and with any woman. That's an…autistic way of looking at it. A greater emphasis should be placed on the "artist" part of "pick up artist". These aren't things that can be deployed by any brute. A brush and paint does not make the artist. On with my tale…
During the Summer a couple of years back, my buddy "Duane", which you first read about here (I know. I'm a horrible person), invited me out to the beach to "chill". You know, just to catch up, have a few drinks, do some girl-watching? Yeah. Not so much. "Hogan's Beach", while on the beach, it isn't quite the beach. It was more dance club than beach. There was a $10 cover fee to get in, we were given age-identifying wrist bands, and the dress code was…well, see the image above: Bikinis and high heels for the women, and whatever for the men. And did I mention that you couldn't actually go for a swim? It was basically a couple of volleyball courts surrounded by a stage, several food and alcohol kiosks, and tables.
Now, Duane is someone that's known me for the better part of a decade, and has seen and heard about several of my deeds. They way he loves putting it, is that my skill with women is like "Goku knowing that he could go Super Saiyan, but refusing to do so because it would make things too easy." (Trust me, I try my best not to let it go to my head.) Well, on this day, he wanted a demonstration.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.

I can now name 11 body systems, their functions and how metabolism works. I'm pretty amazed at how difficult chemistry was in in high school but now just seems to make sense (kinda).
I also put together a pencil pouch; colored pens, highlighters and colored sharpies. It's the same pencil pouch I used at Penn State; the one I bought while I was in New Zealand.
This is exciting and I can't wait to start class on the 8th.

Recover Lost/Forgotten Root Password for NAS (DNS 323) and everything else
The most annoying problem, Forgetting the root password which usually leaves with no choice but to totally format and reset your entire system or just coming to realization that your stuck with a brick server with limited functions. This walkthrough is focused on the DNS 323 , as I forgot the root password today and it was driving me mad trying to recover it so I could set up some usenet/torrent schedulers. Whats First?
First thing you want to identify is, Does your server have telnet enabled or disabled?
if you haven't disabled telnet it's as easy as jumping on telnet
and changing your root password (DONE) there can be some differences with what setup your using but leave a comment and i'll try and help out
FUN-PLUG to help restore password free telnet
Download Fun-Plug
For the DNS 323 it was simply as downloading the fun-plug.tar , moving it into the main directory of my dns 323, restarting the server
On restarting , telnet with no password will be available which you can now login too
telnet servername/ipaddresss
That's it, hope that helps some people out

So yes, last night it was the Zombie Walk at Barcelona, and I must say that I had so much fun. I couldn't dressed myself as a zombie because I had a dinner before the walk, but all the people I saw was great!
So, I didn't do anything special on my saturday except this... what about you? I hope you all had so much fun!

Kannappa, ripe in love, scooped out
And in the Lord's face planted his eyes.
But till he plucked and planted them
He too retained a trace of price
In those bright, beautiful orbs of his.
Attachment to the body dies
Hard, very hard indeed.
Why did the three-eyed Lord ordain
That Kanappa should pluck and plant
Those eyes of which he was so proud?
It was to save him from the death,
The deadly folly of deeming he
Was flesh inert. Such is the might
Of Siva.

I'm up, and since the wifi works in the motel room, but apparently won't let me connect with my e-mail server, I'll broadcast this to the whole world (who is snoozing, fer shure). I'm still operating on CDT, so it doesn't feel as early as it really is, and we'll be hitting the road soon, planning to eat breakfast in Butte, and then head on to Portland, where we'll crash for several days before heading to Cannon Beach (the 2nd most beautiful spot on the whole world. the 1st being the view from my back porch).
I'll check in this evening, hopefully with some amazing mountain pictures, or a funny story, or something worth the bandwidth...

Chinese: 少林寺; pinyin: Shàolín Sì; Wade–Giles: Shao-lin Szu, pronounced [ʂɑ̂ʊ̯lǐn sî]; Cantonese Yale: Siulàhm Jí) is a Chán Buddhist temple on Mount Song, near Dengfeng, Zhengzhou, Henan province, China. It is led by Abbot Shi Yongxin. Founded in the fifth century, the monastery is long famous for its association with Chinese martial arts and particularly with Shaolin Kung Fu and it is the best known Mahayana Buddhist monastery to the Western world. Shaolin Monastery and its famed Pagoda Forest were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010 as part of the "Historic Monuments of Dengfeng."
historyThe first Shaolin Monastery abbot was Batuo (also called Fotuo or Buddhabhadra, or also known as Bodhidharma) a dhyana master who came to China from India in 464 to spread Buddhist teachings.
According to the Continued Biographies of Eminent Monks (645) by Daoxuan, Shaolin Monastery was built on the north side of Shaoshi, the central peak of Mount Song, one of the Sacred Mountains of China, by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty in 477. Yang Xuanzhi, in the Record of the Buddhist Monasteries of Luoyang (547), and Li Xian, in the Ming Yitongzhi (1461), concur with Daoxuan's location and attribution. The Jiaqing Chongxiu Yitongzhi (1843) specifies that this monastery, located in the province of Henan, was built in the 20th year of the Taihe era of the Northern Wei Dynasty, that is, the monastery was built in 495.
The Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was a supporter of Shaolin Temple, and he wrote the calligraphic inscriptions that still hang over the Heavenly King Hall and the Buddha Hall today.

This past Thursday, October 21, more than a hundred people gathered to celebrate Carl Fabiani's retirement after more than 40 years as a member of the park's trail crew, most recently as the Trail Foreman. The event was attended by park employees, former park employees, volunteers, former volunteers, even a representative of Congressman Dave Reichert's office, who presented Carl with a flag flown over the US Capitol in his honor.
Carl worked with thousands of volunteers and volunteer groups during his career, and has always turned in more volunteer hours than any other park program or supervisor. His volunteers completed more than half of the trail work in 2007, the summer after our big floods, and have continued to make an enormous difference in the reconstruction of the Wonderland and Glacier Basin Trails. With any luck, Carl will no go far, but simply become one of those volunteers himself!
I've posted photos from the event on my Flickr website. You may follow this link to see them all:

Read more on SASOL's successful execution of such a CSI project MID-TERM GOAL Our Midterm Goal is to achieve at least 7% {70000 units}, through the installation of our Leak-Less Toilets into the already constructed Low Cost Houses. By the end of 2016 over 400000 Low Cost Houses had been built. Considering that a leaking toilet can waste up to 700 litres of water a day, the installation of a Leak-Less Toilet, will detect leaks and ensure that approximately 500 litres of water is saved per day. Thus, the amount of envisaged water that would be saved every year to this extent will be equivalent to 12.6 billion litres [70000 units x 500L x 30 days x 12 months] = 4200 Olympic swimming pools. Our Midterm goal is inspired by the award winning Boloka Metsi Project that was pioneered by SASOL and associated entities. Whereby 100 000 toilets were repaired with other water faucet leading to over ~3 million kiloliters of water saved per month to the value of ~R18 million.

4 Months Later…
This is my little baby girl now!
And here I am again. Starting back up with the 3 in 30 challenge (just a couple of days late)… My 3 in 30 are:
- 30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels. Need I say more?
- 5 minutes of prayers. I just need to build up some consistency and take the time daily. So here's my start and hopefully this will grow.
- Sleep. Ha Ha, now that I have a 4 month old and she is sleeping a little bit better, I have to get back into the habit of sleeping (and not staying up to "catch up" on stuff or work). So to bed early and out of bed early… that might mean 9 pm bedtimes for me in order to get up before the girls do (at 6:30 every morning, Good Lord!).
Want to join me doing the 3 in 30 for August? What 3 things would you pick?

Ok, so where did I put that thing I printed out from someone's blog about making a little Fairy Tutu ..... There must be some way that I can flag, or mark, or fav, or something these posts on these 50 blogs that I read on a regular basis, so that I can find things again... Can anyone offer me a bit of help on that??? Thanks so much.

Do you use Google Reader? I do, it puts all my blogs on one page and brings up new posts automatically. You can also "star" things that you like and then later, search through just your starred items. Very convenient!

What did you get this week?

Since Greg has been saving the day in Washington, I have been kickin' it by myself in Utah for the last week. Not only have I been alone, but I've been deathly sick. I honestly can't remember the last time I have been knocked down so hard by a cold. UGH! With all of this happening, I haven't had a decent meal in days. SO I decided to make a delicious pasta dish, for one.
I know how hard it is to cook something special and delicious for just one person. It's quite a dilemma, this cooking for one. You think to yourself, "There's no use in cooking just for me. I'll just have cereal for dinner. I don't want to have a ton of leftovers or dishes to do." Etc, etc.
So here's an easy dish for one that can be catered to what you have on hand.
What you need is:
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Veggies (I used onion, bell pepper, & cherry tomatoes. Use what you have on hand.)
Pasta (I used whole wheat spaghetti)
Parmesan (the real stuff!!!)
Lemon zest (optional)
If you're feeling extra frisky, you could add some bacon or pancetta!!
This is so easy and doesn't dirty too many dishes. It makes just enough for one hungry person (like me!) or 2 small servings.
Preheat oven to 400*. Put a medium pot of water on to boil (for pasta).
Chop up your veggies so they are all the same size. The smaller you cut them the faster they will roast.
This recipe doesn't have any specific measurements either. So put about 3 handfuls of veggies onto a baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pop into that hot oven and roast for 25-35 minutes or until they turn golden brown. That's the special thing about roasting vegetables, it sweetens them up and transforms the flavors. Since this is a sauceless pasta, be sure to let the veggies caramelize to develop the flavor.
While veggies are roasting, thinly slice a clove of garlic.
Add the garlic to the veggies for the last 5 minutes of roasting. (If you added the garlic in the very beginning, it would burn!)
This post is full of fun little facts. Here's another one. A handful of pasta as big around as a quarter, will make 1-2 cups of cooked noodles. This is how much I used and it made a large bowl of noodles. Perfect for one hungry person (or 2). Throw those noodles into boil; cook to al dente.
Here's another secret to a special pasta dish, grate parmesan into your serving bowl. It helps you get that perfect amount of cheese in each bite!
Place that delicious-ness into a big bowl and top with plenty of grated parmesan and lemon zest.
**This is not an advertisement for Microplane graters, but if you don't have one, you ABSOLUTELY must get one ASAP! They are superb.
If you're like me and LOVE pasta, savor each bite.
Oh, la la!
Come to mama! This is the first meal I've actually enjoyed in a week!

Petaluma police will review surveillance videos from businesses surrounding a Denny's restaurant where a man sitting in his car was stabbed early Sunday morning, a police sergeant said.
The victim, a 33-year-old Petaluma man, was dropped off by friends in the south parking lot of the restaurant at 4986 Petaluma Blvd. North after spending the evening at the Graton Resort and Casino in Rohnert Park, Sgt. Marty Frye said.
He was in his compact car with the driver's window rolled down waiting for the windows to defrost around 4:30 a.m. when a man he did not know started to yell at him, Frye said.
The Petaluma man told the suspect he did not know what he was talking about and had the wrong person, Frye said.
The suspect then brandished a knife and stabbed the victim four times in the side of his torso and arm, according to Frye.
"Nothing suggests he was robbed," Frye said.
The victim sped away from the scene and drove himself to a hospital. He was later transferred to a trauma center.
"He suffered puncture wounds and is under observation," Frye said late Monday afternoon. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, Frye said.
The suspect, who was dressed in a dark jacket, is a white man in his 20s, standing approximately six feet tall with a thin build and a short buzzed haircut.
Frye said no one in the restaurant claims to have seen what happened in the parking lot.
Police are reviewing video from nearby businesses and from inside and outside the casino to see if the suspect followed the victim and his friends to Petaluma.

Cuck-Pointer Can't Hold On To Wheelie Bin
A young man who calles people 'cucks' on the internet is the only person in his block of flats who has been unable to maintain possession of his wheelie bin, it is claimed. There are six wheelie bins which reside out the back, and his, marked '71/3' in massive digits, has been missing for three weeks. "Someone's probably taken it by mistake," he told our correspondent, "and they'll bring it back as soon as they realise." Some of his mates online suggested that it might have been feminists, seeking revenge for some of the cutting remarks he'd retweeted, but he's ruled that out. "They'd never do something like that," he said, "they're cowards." Our informant told us that a month ago the big bald man who drives a van at number 75 appeared to have a burned out wheelie bin, but he now appears to have one which has 75 on the opposite side to where all the other bins have their numbers. "Nah, that can't be mine, mine didn't have 75 on it anywhere." said the young man. "Anyway, the bloke at 75 is a sound bloke." Paul hopes that his wheelie bin will turn up soon, but in the meantime he'll keep creeping down in the middle the night to put rubbish in other people's wheelie bins as quiet as a mouse.

Things Real People Don't Say About Advertising is a pretty entertaining tumblir page that's worth looking at.
It's fairly simple as it takes amusing pictures and adds text ad people or simple-minded people would say about advertising campaigns.
The sad part is that some of these ploys actually work on people, but I really hope advertising people get this excited about strategy.

As the weather begins to change and we bid farewell to summer, its time to start thinking about one of the most important pieces of equipment in your home: the furnace. Most homeowners forget about the furnace until it is too late, and, if you had any problems with yours last winter, then now is definitely the time to take action.
Waiting to fire up your furnace until you actually need it could cause problems. It happens every year, the first cold snap hits and the phones at the heating and air conditioning companies light up and many people find themselves going a few days without heat as they compete with every other homeowner with furnace issues for an appointment. Don't be left out in the cold, act now.
Heating systems are usually reliable and require very little repair if they are given regular maintenance. But without this regular maintenance a furnace could lose efficiency or cease to function all together.
To give your furnace and heating system a test run, set the thermostat at least five degrees warmer than the current temperature in the room. In a minute or two your heater should come on and you should be able to feel the heat blowing into the room. If the system does not come on you can check a few things before calling in a pro.
The first place to look is the thermostat. It may sound simple, but check to see that it is turned on. All modern thermostats have an on off switch, but they may not be clearly labeled with an "on" position. The "on" position is usually labeled "heat" or "cool." Obviously you want to make sure the switch is in the "heat" position. If you have a programmable thermostat, refer to your user manual on how to bypass the current setting. If the heater still does not come on you'll want to check to see if your thermostat has a replaceable battery and check it. There is nothing worse than paying one hundred and fifty bucks or more for a service technician come out to the house just to change a battery.
If your heater still does not fire up, look for an on/off switch at the furnace itself. It looks just like a light switch and is often attached to the unit itself, or very nearby. Make sure the switch is on. If your switch is on and the furnace has still yet to run, check the breakers in your electric panel. The breaker could have tripped and the solution to the problem could be as easy as flipping the switch. If all switches are on, and you are certain you have paid all your gas / electric bills then its time to call in the experts. You could have a small problem, or a catastrophic one, but from this point on, you need someone who knows the workings of the system, as well as electrical knowledge to troubleshoot and fix the problem. Call Chapman Air & Heat at 214-340-4999 and a technician will be able to come out and tell you exactly what needs to be done. We also offer maintenance programs, to save you all these hassles by coming out at regular intervals and make sure your system is in the best shape possible.

What Is It?
Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in certain areas of a woman's face and body, such as the mustache and beard area, that creates a "male pattern" of hair. Women normally can have fine, pale, faintly visible hair in these areas, but heavy hair growth in a male pattern with coarse or colored hair is not expected.
Normal patterns of hair growth and hair distribution vary widely, determined mostly by racial background. For example, whites as a group have more facial and non-scalp hair growth than do blacks or Asians, and white women of Mediterranean heritage normally have more hair growth than do women from Nordic countries.

much needed rain. The rain clouds often help
make the sunset much more interesting.
Last night was no exception. I took several
photos from different angles because the
clouds were really breathtaking. What
doesn't show in the picture, and was also
so neat, was a whole layer of fog rising from
the pasture. The fresh rain created it, and
as dusk approached, the mist began to rise
over the rich, green fields and creep up the
hills. I used every setting on my camera,
but it still didn't capture what I could see
before me. I guess there is still no substitute
for the real thing.

To Translate or not to Translate, that is the QuestionIf you have taught ESL for any length of time you have probably seen some very interesting translations, or perhaps you have tried to make sense of some instructions for some kind of electronics you may have purchased. That is a real challenge. One reason that I enjoy teaching younger students is that they learn a new language in much the same way that they learn their first language. If a student writes in their first language and tries to translate it into English it surely will be a mangle of bad grammar, word order and vocabulary. Some languages follow similar word order and sentence structure, others do not resemble English, so I always recommend that students do not translate writing from their first language. When a student writes in English they can usually produce a far superior piece of writing. This idea is also true in the oral area of language acquisition. Chinese is quite "flowery" and I'm sure it possesses a very poetic nature, but it just does not translate well without high level skills. So you must insist that the student write from what they know in English.
This brings me to another point that I feel is critical to the development of the students language skills. Many students want to be placed in the more advanced classes, before they have really mastered the basics in the beginning levels. This is really a big mistake. Surely, it is easy to understand that they want to attain higher levels but moving into the more advanced classes is sure to stunt their growth. They frequently cannot comment on the lesson or the concepts. Here in China this is especially true because the system of education does not foster that kind of critical thinking. It does not mean they cannot think for themselves, it only means they are unaccustomed to extrapolating information and forming an opinion, since most of their classes have only one point of view, the teachers. So it is often quite difficult to start or maintain any discussions that require personal opinions. The culture promotes a certain don't talk don't tell attitude. This is quite normal considering the history of free expression. It is not that they can't it just is drilled into them socially. This is changing somewhat as information and ideas flow into their world via the net and other sources. There is a new generation of students who have access to a more worldly view. A few years ago it was practically unheard of to have a student disagree with a teacher. This old view of education, the Greek idea of a discussion between the teacher and the student perhaps is making a comeback. It will certainly be a challenge to the teachers in China as they will have to reeducate themselves in how to teach in this way.
So don't be tempted to place students in higher level classes before they have mastered the easy classes, translate only for vocabulary, and conduct your classes in a way that creates a never ending flow between the text and speaking about it out of the book and your students will begin to think in English and develop good grammar. If you get them at a young age the will be learning in a similar way that students learn in their first language, which translates to accelerated learning.

text: The essays in this book are adapted from papers presented at the 24th Annual Conference of the Theoretical Archaeology Group, held at the University of Manchester, in December 2002. The session 'An Industrial Revolution? Future Directions for Industrial Archaeology,' was organised by the editors, and sponsored by English Heritage, with the intention of gathering together leading industrial and historical archaeologists from around the world. Industrial archaeology has emerged as a theoretically driven subfield. Research has begun to meaningfully engage with such issues as globalisation; power; innovation and invention; slavery and captivity; class, ethnic, and gender identities; social relations of technology and labour; and the spread of western capitalism. With an international group of authors, this volume highlights the current thought in industrial archaeology, as well as explores future theoretical and methodological directions. Industrial Archaeology: Future Directions will be of interest to historical and urban archaeologists, architectural historians, preservation agencies, archaeological consulting organizations, and cultural resource managers.

There will be lots of talk comparing this film to the Tyler Perry cannon, but know this: If the estimates hold up, Tim Story's decidely secular romantic comedy will have opened higher than every Perry feature save the $41 million debut of Madea Goes To Jail. In fact, aside from that Perry release, I can't think of another African-American comedy or drama that opened as high as this one perhaps ever. How well the film holds up over the long haul is an open question, and arguably *that's* where the attempt at cross-racial outreach come into play. If Screen Gems can convince white audiences that this isn't so much a 'black film' as much as it's a Valentine's Day-type ensemble piece that happens to star actors of color, it may have strong legs as its sampled by general moviegoers of all races for the next month (What To Expect When You're Expecting debuts May 18th). Tim Story's 2002 Barbershop parlayed a $20 million debut into a $75 million total while Screen Gems opened Obsessed to $28 million and finished with $68 million just over three years ago this weekend. A multiplier right in-between those two will net a $100 million domestic total for the $13 million picture. Next weekend will tell the tale. The African American moviegoing demographic is a consistently starved one, so there is obviously big profit to be made with mainstream popcorn entertainment that just happens to star actors of color. We'll see whether Hollywood takes notice *this time* or whether its success is written off yet again as a fluke while they greenlight John Carter 2: The Quickening.
Titanic 3D has $52 million in US ticket sales while it (once again) burns up the international waters to the tune of $175 million and counting (international numbers to be updated later). The top new release of last weekend, The Three Stooges, earned $9.2 million on its second weekend (-45%) bringing its ten-day total to $29 million. It's pacing slightly ahead of the Farrelly Bros' last three films (Hall Pass, The Heartbreak Kid, and Fever Pitch) and is still looking like a $50 million finisher. American Reunion has $48 million (with an inexplicably high $56 million overseas to boot) while 21 Jump Street has $127 million thus far. Wrath of the Titans has $77 million domestic as it nears $275 million worldwide and Mirror Mirror has $55 million on our shores and $120 million worldwide. Finally, Lockout dropped an okay 50% off a lousy $6 million opening weekend, grossing $3 million and earning $11 million in ten days.
That's it for this weekend. Join us next time for the pre-summer dump, as four (!) new wide releases enter the fray. The Raven casts John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe solving murder mysteries, the aforementioned Pirates: Band of Misfits debuts domestically, Lionsgate releases another Jason Statham vehicle in Safe and Universal debuts the Jason Segel/Emily Blunt romantic comedy The Five-Year Engagement.

It is at Christmas that the suffering and loneliness of soldiers fighting and dying away from home is more keenly felt. Today we at G.I. Joe Live want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas but also to ask that you remember the soldiers who were in the midst of battle and away from home both in the past, and today. We wanted to share a few stories from World War II, specifically the Battle of the Bulge, which was raging at Christmastime.
Our first story is from the collection "One Christmas Eve During World War II":
One of the most poignant stories I ever heard about World War II was about American servicemen fighting in the fierce battles in Europe, and how they stopped firing at the nearby German soldiers for a few moments because it was Christmas Eve. And, for some mysterious and awesome reason, the Germans stopped firing as well.
Someone began to sing the beloved hymn Silent Night, and the Germans joined the Americans with Stille Nacht.
For those few moments, the madness of war ceased, and all of those men became fathers, sons and brothers -- just people worshiping their God instead of soldiers fighting for their lives in the hell of the Battle of the Bulge.
The next story is from the memoirs and remembrances of a soldier who goes by the initials G.K.W. His story is as follows:
On 24 December 1944 I was spending my Christmas at a little place called BASTOGNE, Belgium, with the 101st Airborne Division. As many of you already know the story about the Battle of the Bulge, I won't go into all the details about how we were surrounded and outnumbered by the German Army. It was a cold, bitter, dark night and around about midnight surprisingly quiet. All of a sudden, from the German position, we heard a single voice singing "SILENT NIGHT," in German. Soon more voices were added from the Germans. Suddenly, some American Soldier picked it up and before long most of us were singing along with the Germans. This went on for about 5 or 10 minutes and then stopped. A few minutes later we were back at each other, with guns blazing.This incident has stayed in my memory all these years (56) and when I hear Silent Night I remember. Later I talked to American, British and French Soldiers about it and some of them had experienced the same thing on whatever front they had been fighting on, (Italy, France, Holland). I have talked to Veterans of WW1 and they tell similar stories.
In the middle of the worst battle of WW2 there was Peace on Earth for a few minutes.
Another account of Christmas during war I found interesting was written by Corporal Delbert P. Berninghaus, who was a POW in Germany. There was no room in the POW camps for he and the other servicemen who were prisoners, so they were on the move and in the elements under the watch of German guards. Corporal Berninghaus was from West Bend, Iowa, and was in the 106th Infantry Division, 422nd Regiment. Here is his account:
As we were herded into the barns for the night, we would repeat our previously established routine. Winters in Germany are much like ours in the Midwest as far as temperatures and weather conditions are concerned. After walking all day through snow, slush, or mud, our feet were always cold and wet or damp. We had no overshoes for protection and any protection that might have built up on our combat boots from polish or care had long worn off. We would remove our shoes and massage each others' feet to warm them and get the blood circulating again. We had no overcoats or blankets, so in an attempt to keep warm, we would huddle together to give each other body heat. After days of the living conditions under which we survived, we were filthy and sick with dysentery. Our very survival depended on each other .
Friendships formed as we bonded together in our struggle for survival. I guess in a strange sense of the word we became a family, looking out for one another. We would find ourselves grouped with the same bunch of boys from day to day, but our guards would change.
By morning our feet would be so swollen it was difficult to push our swollen feet back into our shoes. The guards would again assemble us and the barns usually would be searched by the dogs. Some of the boys attempted to escape by covering themselves with the straw or hay found in the barns. Some tried to hide in the haylofts of the barns; some simply tried running away over the hills. As I said, the barns would be searched by dogs; the dogs used, in most cases, were well trained German Shepherds. These dogs showed no mercy as they literally tore apart the boys hiding or attempting escape. There was no chance of survival when the dogs were turned loose in the barns or in pursuit of those on the run. I remember a change of the guard when I saw one of the dogs rip the clothing right off of a new guard before anyone could control the animal.
Christmas Eve day was eight days after our capture. Here I was, twenty years old, a prisoner of war in Germany, wondering if I would even live to see another Christmas. As usual the day began with marching on the country roads, destination still unknown. At each village we were told, "At the next stop there will be food for you", but the bombs were always ahead of us. Village after village lay in ruins, bombed before we came; our stomachs remained as empty as the German promises.
It was approximately 4 p.m. in the afternoon on Christmas Eve when we arrived in the little village where we would be spending the night. We would again be spending the night in a barn. The guards allowed me to go to the barn owner's home to ask for food. I was hoping for some potatoes or apples. The man answering the door invited me inside. The gentleman was a raw-boned farmer with a warm friendly face. He wore a pair of little round wire-rimmed glasses. I looked around the room and saw no one other than the man, but suspected there were other family members, keeping out of sight. My eyes were immediately drawn to the evergreen tree standing in the room. The Christmas tree was not decorated as ours are today; it was standing there unadorned in all its splendor. I shall never forget the sight of that tree and the memories it triggered. Momentarily, I was at peace. It was beautiful! Away from home and the security I once knew, a lump formed in my throat. My eyes welled with tears. I asked the farmer, "Could you spare some food for me and the boys in the barn? Some apples or some potatoes, for we are very hungry. " On the table lay a coffeecake already cut in wedges. It was pie sized and covered with apple slices. Pointing to the cake, the man said, "Eat it, you eat the whole cake." I did eat the cake, the whole thing. I felt a certain amount of shame because I ate without sharing my treasure and at the same time gratitude. I was so happy. In this strange country of enemies, God had given me a friend. I asked if he had any more so I could give some to the boys. "Oh, no," he said, but he gave me a pail with apples and potatoes that I carried out to the others on that Christmas Eve. They ate the seeds, cores, and peels of the apples and the raw potatoes.
On Christmas morning, I went to thank the farmer and tell him goodbye. He again gave me a bucket of potatoes and apples. Our day was starting out better than it normally did. We again set out on our daily march taking us thirty-five to forty kilometers. This day the American fliers again flew over us; our hope was that they would not drop bombs, but food. To our surprise, they recognized us, dipping their wings. The event was a highlight of our day — our spirits soared. The planes flew on to their mission; we continued our trek across Germany.
As our family recounts the innumerable blessings of Liberty we currently enjoy, we challenge each of you to thank God for His goodness to us and our nation. May His bountiful love through the Gift of his Precious Son refresh your souls this night and always.

Happy Courtship on another Earth
X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke's story continues...
Part 598 ~
Sylva nearly flung herself toward Zeke until she realized she wasn't corporeal. Still, she rushed into his open arms. Somehow. The sensation of being sizzled alive took over in a good way. 'Zeke.' She nestled against him, feeling a strange state of sweet fusion occur between them. 'The bomb?' she thought to ask, then recalled she had a message to deliver from those who had called themselves Caretakers. Zeke didn't answer at first, and it hit her that, of course, he didn't know Bear-man and Indyra. 'It's okay, darlin'. Everything is okay, right now.' Her cowboys caring warmth embraced her.
Zeke kept one eyeball, or whatever passed for an eyeball, on the diminutive woman with a greenish cast to her skin, and the man he recognized as a well-known elder on their regional Native American Council. If it wasn't Bear Feather, whoever was a dead ringer. 'Yes, I am the man you know as Bear Feather, Zeke Dhurago Vintorr. This is my wife, Indyra.' Zeke gave a welcoming nod to the woman who smiled. Her face might as well have been light beams. 'Didn't know you was hitched, Bear Feather. Congratulations.' Zeke paused. 'There a reason you laser-flashed me here?'

Kudos! POWER UP! POWER UP! To the young folks who sang the National Anthem as an act of civil disobedience while standing before the statue of Lincoln in Washington DC. Not only that, others who were nearby joined in. The stupid officer 'whoever' told them they couldn't sing. Is this America, or is it not?

"Society of Equals" by Pierre Rosanvallon
Sylvain Bourmeau interviews Pierre Rosanvallon about his new book, La Sociéte des égaux, which happens to be what I'm translating at the moment. Unfortunately, you have to be a Libé subscriber to read this, and I'm not. If you're in France, do buy the book (just out, I believe): it's Rosanvallon at his best.

I've been reading the review and commentary on Rosanvallon's new book in Le Monde des Livres and his interview in last week's Nouvel Obs (available on-line). Not to rush you or anything, but I'm hoping your translation will be out as soon as possible. It looks like his ideas deserve as much, or more, discussion here as in France. Meanwhile, he also had a piece in Le Monde in July (the 22nd) where he asks, "Et on peut se poser là une question : est-ce que le XXIe siècle n'est pas en train d'être l'âge des populismes comme le XXe siècle avait été celui des totalitarismes?" Any chance of translating the piece for an op-ed page here? This, too, deserves a wider audience. Thanks, again, for you blog.

How Will Mwai Kibaki be remembered?
Kibaki has casually, willingly and greedily brought our hitherto internationally respected nascent nation onto it's democratic deathbed. With that goes all pretense of human rights, free press and respect of laws. The fact of the matter is that whoever and wherever you are in kenya, kibaki is playing russian roulette with your life, your present and your future. Ask any internally displaced person - kikuyu or not and they will confirm this. The desire to steal; enrich oneself and hold on to power which is given by the populace is the greatest bane of african leaders.
Nobody expected this of kibaki having himself come into power through the ballot in what all observers agreed was a free and fair poll. The least he would have done would have been to ensure justice and fairness was upheld. These were tenets that allowed him to be president - for god's sake!!! any elemets of trust or gentleman behavior as peddled in various adds before the election have been found to be vacuous in this post-election period. He has made my country just "'another regular african country", an also ran… having witnessed in my local upcountry polling station the initial rig that gave him the 25% in all provinces. (ap's marking ballot papers outside my local primary school in a car, where he subsequently came second, 2 votes behind raila despite majority of people voting for raila) i was shocked by the brazen steal of votes so openly!!! my farm workman with the radio could tell me it was a rigged election!!! that has directly lead to this sordid state of affairs we find ourselves in. That is also why he will resist any attempts at a rerun with an independent body since these earlier rigged votes will not be available to him and the loss will be all the more obvious. It is also said kibs had wanted to concede defeat and called the media houses but his hardliners would not let him do it!!! they are behind all this but the buck stops at kibs door. It is however suprising that among my kikuyu friends in the kenyan diaspora, international diaspora and in nairobi they are all convinced that kibaki wond fair and square.
These are highly educated folk, including economists, surgeons, paediatricians, dentists, and businessmen!!!! they have chosen to bury their heads in the sand and allow the rape of our young country and it's democracy proceed, so long as it is by 'one of their own'. Just the other day they would froth at the mouth when moi did just a 1/4 of what kibaki has done. These are the sellouts, the tribalised fellows who would sell their country down the road of civil war for……nothing! kibs does not know them, does not care about them and would gladly put them in harms way to achieve his ends, but they do not see that!!! i shudder because they are the opinion leaders in their areas. If this is what they think, i cant blame the herdsmen in their areas for their thoughts…. This is why i respect a fellow like karoki because the truth will always set one free.
Truth and justice make for a sound peace anyday!!! kibaki has taken the name of the lord in vain during his swearing in. He plays with another power that is far greater than him. In rome they did not say vox populi, vox dei for no good reason. You cannot wily nilly lord it over me if i do not want you to. This is the essence of democracy and that choice must be respected. Living in harmony requires respect of rules of engagement without which chaos ensues. God is not mocked, for what a man sows the same shall he reap (after it has grown up). What we are seeing are but the first fruits of that reaping, the real fruit, the whirlwind after this casual sowing to the wind is yet to come. The ubiquitous flow of violence meeted out to kenyans by their own security forces and mercenary ugandans will result in a greater demystification of violence and the gun.
The population will be ready for them next time especially since they have crossed a threshold and used deadly force. I predict we shall soon see private well armed militia that will be held in reserve to ensure whoever gets or feels disenfranchised at the ballot box will be able to enforce a dialogue. The state will no longer have the hitherto widespread monopoly of violence it misuses on it's citizenry. Welcome to a new kenya. Nobody should blame the citizens for merely doing what comes natural to any person. It is evident kibs and henchmen cannot be doing all this unless they are sure the army is on their side. The army is not 100% on their side and they know it. Talk has seeped through of unhappiness in the ranks. An unstable army is a recipe for disaster.
Many army men have lost brothers, sisters, fathers, nephews and nieces to the thoughtless actions of kibaki and his men. Life is sacred, and once that sanctity is breached we are asking for trouble. This is a tiger he cannot ride, even if raila was not to be in the picture. Kibaki is not going to be remebered for a 5% growth in the economy. He will clearly be remembered as the man who took kenya back into the dark ages, alienated his kikuyu tribe from other kenyans and invited foreign troops to shoot down kenyans n their own country.
He will be remembered as the man who tore kenya's social and ethnic fabric, the man who stole votes and administered a near killer blow to democracy in kenya. The nse etc is just piss in the wind. Kenya may well go into civil war, but it will rise stronger and better in so many ways than it has been before, and the name of every person killed whilst protesting this rape of democracy will be remembered.

Greetings All!
It's the weekend! I woke up stupidly early for a Saturday, got to doing some tidying...and broke my other thumbnail. My thumbs are really having a bad week! I'm putting a brave face on, but I'm not happy. Not happy at all!
Thankfully I have plenty of nails in the vault. I've been really enjoying my new MoYou plates lately - they have fun images, good sizes, and I've even been trying to get to grips with the 'one large image' plates. For this manicure I used an image from Princess plate 13.
The pink is Revlon Bubblegum, a scented polish that smells of...watermelon, I think. Definitely not bubblegum! It's a pleasant enough scent though, and a pretty polish. I stamped with W7 Black, which is unusual for me. My Konad is on it's last legs, so I decided to try stamping with a rather gloopy, nearly empty W7. It isn't as good as Konad, but it should tide me over until I get around to replacing my beloved Konad Black.

This post ranks up there on the gross meter. Gentlemen, you may want to look away.
Todd...this means you! :)
Ladies, as if our monthlies were stupid enough...I have a bone to pick with the Always people. Seriously, it's not enough that we have to live through 5-7 days a month when we bloat, get headaches that would blind an elephant, get cramps that are not unlike actual labor pains, and back aches that would sideline most NBA, NFL, AND MLB players for at least a game. It's not bad enough we must just live through it...when was the last time YOU took a day off with these symptoms? When was the last time, at your workplace, when everyone else is talking about their aches and pains and guys will discuss their latest bout of the sniffles that kept them in bed for three days, that you whispered the words "I have cramps" and someone didn't mock you?
Basically, women operate ILL at least one week out of every month from the time they are about 11 until pretty much the day they die. Or go through menopause, which I'm told isn't much better than actual death. We do it because we must. We do it because the world, contrary to what most men think, does not shut down just because we don't feel good.
We do it, and we ask one tiny, little thing. We ask that our personal products don't actually add to the pain and suffering.
I'm not talking about the products working at this point...I've ranted about that before. No, my friends, I'm talking about personal products that simply, and with great glee, add layer upon layer of physical anguish to our already annoyingly painful weeks of punctuation editing.
Today I'm aiming my rant ray at the Always people. You know, the same genius team that came up with "Have a happy Period" commercials, which ran during prime time on DISNEY which lead my 6 year old daughter to ask me why we were supposed to have a happy period.
Yeah, and as if that's not enough...they ALWAYS wind up adding to the pain.
Case in point: a number of years ago, some friends and I attended an all day, outside, porta potty facilities only event. I HATE porta potties. HATE THEM. Especially at the aforementioned event...I was in costume. Let's say the costume was bulky enough that moving about in a porta potty without 1) tipping the potty over and/or 2) relieving myself on some portion of the costume was not a chance I wanted to take.
And yes, I was on that magical last day of my monthly...the day when you can't go without protection really, but you really are just done wearing protection. I figured I'd through on something that ALWAYS protected on such days and I would be protected ALWAYS until I got to a real, inside bathroom at the end of the afternoon.
At some point during the day, and it was a hot sweaty sort of day, given the costume I was in, I wasn't terribly aware of the issue until it was really serious, my protection...let's just say, flipped.
Ladies, you know what I mean. The adhesive side rolled up and stuck to my skin. Funny how that same adhesive doesn't ALWAYS stick to the material it's supposed to, but it's ALWAYS lock on like glue to skin.
There wasn't much I was going to do about it until I got out of costume, a few hours later. Once I was able to examine myself...let's say I wasn't walking terribly comfortably for a couple of days later.
So I swore I would ALWAYS buy a different brand of protection. And I ALWAYS did, until a month ago when there was a discontinued sale on a product I'd never seen before. I am ALWAYS intrigued by new advances in the realm of punctuation, so I purchased the item. This item promised more coverage, more protection, less leaks...and CLEANLINESS.
|Sandpaper and a baby wipe.
'Nuff said.
I should ALWAYS remember two things
1) There's a reason a product gets discontinued.
2) ALWAYS lies.
Ladies, this particular item had a lining that must have been designed by the Marquis De Sade. Seriously. It was hard to tell just how much irritation the product was causing me...because, you know...it's pretty much a traffic accident during those magical days. All I know is that I'm moderately certain they put adhesive on both sides. In the three days I used the product it ALWAYS stuck to my skin, giving me a super rash BTW.
Have I learned from my troubles?
Yep. I am ALWAYS going to use a product that is not ALWAYS going to give me a problem. Why add injury to injury?

For the first time,
that doubt has come.
I make myself deaf, when anyone, everyone questioning my choice.
I make myself blind, when the truth spread before my eyes.
I make myself numb. Numb enough to shut all the pain that stabbed repeatedly before just because I trusted my choice.
I make myself believe that someday you will understand, accept me for my being and be grateful, cherish for what we had.
But first time in 4 years 3 months and 4 days,
that doubt has come.
Now it is matter of fate. I won't choose anymore.

WHEN SCIENTISTS SAY THAT WHAT WE PERCEIVE AS OUR PHYSICAL/MATERIAL WORLD IS NOT MATERIAL AT ALL, they mean that everything is Energy J According to Einstein: "energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another." And According to the 8th Universal Law for Energy, 'The Law of Infinity': nothing can change in the material world, until all of the particles free themselves from the effects of the 8 Universal Laws through transformation. To better understand what exactly we mean by "Infinity" – let's have a brief look at some early scientists, philosophers and theologians:
- Zeno of Elea (490 BC – 430 BC) – first introduced the concept of the infinite in the West (although a few years before him, there was already idea of "boundlessness" in existence).
- Pythagoras (570 BC - 495 BC) – discovered the irrational numbers, numbers that go on to infinity.
- Mahavira (599 BC - 527 BC), also known as Vardhamana,
and Indian philosopher and the founder of one of the oldest religions in the world, Jainism (practitioners believe that nonviolence and self-control are the means by which they can obtain liberation). Some of the well known historical figures practicing Jainism were Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Ghandi. Mahavira speculated on what goes without ending and the truly limitless. He also differentiated between the infinite: infinite in length, infinite in area, infinite in volume, and perpetually infinite.
- Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) – argued that there is a distinction between the actual and potential infinity: actual infinity is something that is completed and definite and consists of infinitely many elements. Potential infinity is something that is never complete: more and more elements can be always added, but never an infinite number of them.
- Thomas Aquinas (1225 -1274), philosopher, theologian – differentiated between the mathematical infinite and the religious/philosophical infinite. He stated that he was interested not in quantity, but in quality of existence, and that a way of existing sets God apart from anything else – God being the perfect existence.
- Nicolas of Cusa (1402-1464), philosopher, theologian: used mathematics to describe the God-world relation. He explained that infinite has no limits; therefore everything must be included within the infinite. God is the circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is therefore nowhere. According to his theory, nothing can be outside of God.
- Baruch Spinoza (1632 – 1677), philosopher: in his work, "Ethics, Demonstrated in Geometrical Order", he said that if God is the one infinite substance, and there can't be other substances than this one. The substance must have infinite attributes, and we can't be separate beings so we must be formed of the one. He perceived God as not a transcendent being, but as absolutely one with nature. And stated that we need to live according to the laws of nature, to be a part of that one infinite whole.
As we can see from the above, both science and various belief systems have occupied themselves with the topic of Infinity. In fact, it is science that has been "catching up", while many belief systems have already talked about it for thousands of years:
- Buddhist philosophy argues for an infinitely continuing (forward and reverse) state of existence, with no center, nor any permanent entity underpinning it.
- Hindu cosmology is non-dualistic. Everything that is, is Brahman. Brahman is the eternal Now, and in eternity there is no before or after, for everything is everywhere, always.
- In Islam, there are references in the Qur'an that attribute Infinity to God. Just in the same way as the biggest number cannot be comprehensible then in the same way God also cannot be described in human terms or equated to just a simple word.
- Judaism believes in one God, who is eternal. God is beyond even the concept of beyond.
- Christian religion believes in eternal God and, interestingly enough, gives the definition for the 8th Universal Law in the Bible: Matthew, verses 5:17 and 5:18 - "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished."
As we can see, while science talks about everything being a part of one huge Energy field, many belief systems talk about God being all there is, and containing everything within.
No matter whether it is science or a belief system that resonates the most with our own inner Truth, one thing remains the same: we are all part of one whole, and we are all connected. We are all subject to 8 Universal Laws – no matter how they are being described or explained by science or philosophy. The Laws are always at work, effecting us at all times, whether we are aware of it or not. The 8th Universal Law, 'The Law of Infinity' – tells us that nothing can be changed in the way things work in the material world, until every single last particle will transform, and free itself from the effects of the Universal Laws. It means that we need to be conscious of how we create and co-create our 'reality' in order to live the life we want: happy, conscious, full of experiences that assure our growth. It's not as difficult, as it might seem J It is enough to be aware of and pay attention to the 8 Universal Laws. They can help us to live a better life, if we only allow it. We are here, on our planet, to experience and express ourselves in the best possible, beautiful way. We are humans. And within us we have imprinted our best potential J <3
The 8 Universal Laws are:
The Law of Cause and Effect
The Law of Originating, Growing and Passing
The Law of Reduction and Expansion
The Law of Appearances
The Law of Chain Reaction
The Law of Self-Direction
The Law of Matrix and Volume
The Law of Infinity
You can find out how the Universal Laws work and affect us by reading my previous posts. For more details read the book "Master and the Green-Eyed Hope".

The advertisement states that "Sugar helps dieters put the brakes on calories" How? you might say, well apparently the average adult needs 2800 calories a day and with only 18 calories it can satisfies appetite fast with less calories. I guess my diet is alright then...:)
Nothing like a break from home cooked meal to have a "TV dinner". With a description of "Flavory beef" no wonder it was so popular.
And with all that competition after high school a good dictionary will get them on their way. Was it really that easy?

|Real deer, not a reenactment.
Ladies, don't forget your mammograms!
|Real deer, not a reenactment.
Oh, let's change backyards, Deb. Living by a river is exaggerated, nothing ever happens.
I think of Annie all through the day. And also, that I've never had a mammogram.
What a dear sight in your own backyard!
Thoughts and best wishes are with Annie today. xx
MUCH prettier than what creeps up from the sewer and walks through my yard. :)
I love to watch deer...they are a peaceful creature.
Oh, no; I didn't know about Annie. She leaves me comments all the time and she's very sweet. Does she have a blog? I've never been able to e-mail her back from her comments.
what a beautiful sight to see in your own yard. the best i do is squirrels. i will say a prayer for your friend. xo janet
Watching wildlife in the back yard can be so peaceful. I used to spend hours (I'm not kidding) watching blue-tongue lizards.
I hope Steve comments on Annie's blog. She likes Steve.
I like Steve. I also like you and Annie.
Glad you've had your monthly shower! You ARE a loyalist!
Pretty deer. My husband would say they look like dinner, but not me. I can enjoy them even when they are not on my plate. ;-)
Praying for your friend Annie. My husband just found out that a former classmate of his has been diagnosed with breast cancer and her sister with ovarian cancer. So terrible.
At a glance I thought they were kangaroos, and then I realised you were in Canada! Seriously cool. And ditto re Annie. I keep getting weepy.
I am sorry to hear about your friend, Deb...I will surely say a prayer for her! Thank you for sharing the photos of the deer...that would be such a wonderful sight to see!
Oh no, that's terrible, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Two of my friends have had to undergo surgery for breast cancer the past 6 months (though thankfully not a full mastectomy) and one 'only' had a scare. Important to keep checking as you say.
I'm so envious of your back yard and your environment! Well, maybe not so much of the snow you've had or the huge tree blocking the drive way! ;-)
Did you exclaim, "Oh deer!" when you saw them?? An amazing sight for people down my way. And Annie's story is terribly sad. xx
Hmm....deer sent to you this morning on the day of Annies surgery. I say that's a message for sure.
Prayers for your dear friend today.
What a glorious picture...I would just love to have them to watch, truly a beautiful scene.

Feasibility of air travel on short distances
I, like many others, have been thinking the state of the current air travel system. With all the security checks and check-ins, the travel time becomes long. And easily using car, train or bus wins the passenger plane in the spent time for traveling from place A to B.
In other words, if you fly from Helsinki to Tampere, you can expect the check-in etc. to take at least 1.5 hours prior to the flight and then the flight takes maybe 0.5 hours. It might be also late, cancelled etc., and if this is a connecting flight, you may need to wait for your flight for another 5 hours sitting at the airport. On the other side you are waiting for your luggage to come, and it may take easily 0.5 hours.
So the shortest time with check-in luggage to travel from Helsinki to Tampere is maybe 1.5+0.5+0.5 hours = 2.5 hours. You may have also spent 60-70 euros for taxi from home to the airport, and on the other side the same amount of money to taxi. This makes moving from Helsinki to Tampere to be 180/2.5 = 72 km/h.
What about if this was a connecting flight that you waited for 5 hours and which was one hour late. That makes 5+1+0.5+0.5 = 7 hours. This makes the speed 180/7.0 = 25 km/h. You could beat the plane with a bicycle!
How about if you used a light aircraft to fly by yourself:
– Getting to the airport takes the same time, although it is easier to get to the Malmi airport than to Helsinki-Vantaa with public transportation without paying the large Taxi fee.
– Doing pre-flight check for the plane takes 0.5 hours. If you are quick, you have filed flight plan etc. during this time too. You may be able to speed this up if you are not flying alone.
– If the plane flies 222 km/h on average (includes takeoff and landing), taxi tie down etc. time is accounted with +0.5 hours (includes both airports), the total time to fly to Tampere would be: 0.5 + 0.5 + 180/222.0 = 1.81 hours. This is 99 km/h.
So the slow light general aviation plane is faster than the airliner on this trip. It doesn't win use of car though, getting to the airport and from the another airport takes time. But it wins train, because in case of train, you would have to get to the train station, and get from the train station to your destination with public transportation, which adds easily 0.5 hours on both ends, even Pendolino is therefore slower than the private car on this distance, so it is not better than using the personal aircraft.
How about if the light plane was a bit faster. It would travel 300 km/h. The travel time would become 1.6 hours. This is 112.5 km/h. Actually you can save fuel on Toyota Prius if you travel 112.5 km/h. And you are sooner directly at your destination. Not bad though for the plane. Wins the airliner hands down even in the best case.
If the distance was a bit longer, it would change the other way. The private plane would be a lot faster way to travel than car. And the airline would still have the overhead associated with security checks, package check-ins, package claims etc. For example, already if you would be going to Kuopio or Jyväskylä, the personal aircraft would be faster than the private car. And still the airliner would be the loser in the speed.
If you would go to e.g. Tallinn, Estonia, then the private plane would be excellent choice. That is because you can't go there by car, you have to use some transportation in between (e.g. boat). Even fastest boats are slow compared to even small ultralight aircraft. You could take the airliner, but it would take very long to get to the destination because of the overhead taking place at the airport. Instead if you took off with private plane, the overhead can be made smaller.
This of course requires that the plane could be flown in all weather and it would be simple to operate, with no need to do complicated tasks prior to flight in the pre-flight check. Something that would be for personal travel like a family car rather than for "flying sport". And the plane should be very low drag and very high efficiency design to make it compete in the fuel burn with the car (competing with e.g. Toyota Prius with a plane is very tough – the fuel budget for 100 km would be about 5 liters to be equal). Many current aircraft are not like that. But I feel that there would be use for that kind of planes, and this would not be impossible.
Here is by the way a video I recorded last May in the California trip. This video is about flight from Mojave Space Port to Palo Alto.

As one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures in the United States, breast augmentation appeals to women of all ages. If you often wish your breasts were larger, fuller, more shapely or symmetrical, breast augmentation/breast enhancement may be the right choice for you. The board certified cosmetic plastic surgeons of The Plastic Surgery Group perform more breast augmentations than any other office in the Tri-State area. Our caring physicians understand the decision to explore any cosmetic procedure can be difficult and strive to make your experience positive. Beginning with your complimentary consultation, your physician and his staff will guide you through the process from implant selection, to surgery and recovery. With more than 100 years combined experience, you can trust the physicians of TPSG will provide the expert care you need to achieve your desired look and boost your self-esteem.
Breast Lift
Whether aging, weight fluctuation, pregnancy or the law of gravity is responsible, changes in the breast can negatively affect a woman's self esteem. The physicians at The Plastic Surgery Group can elevate existing tissue to restore fullness and give a more youthful appearance to the breast with a breast lift or Mastopexy.
Breast lift surgery can be performed in conjunction with a breast augmentation if you are interested in increasing the size of your breast as well as repositioning. This is occasionally done in two stages dependent on the physicians assessment during examination.
Breast Reduction
For many women, overly large and pendulous breasts can limit lifestyle choices and cause several physical ailments like chronic neck, back and shoulder pain, skin irritation, emotional discomfort, breasts that are not proportionate to the rest of their body and limitations in exercise and clothing options. Breast reduction surgery can provide relief from these physical and emotional issues.
