Well, well. Happy Friday. With a big cup of coffee! And a second, third.
All right.
I kind of figured this. I feel impulsive way too often. Thank you, rats!
If you need something colorful on your wall, to see where you are headed: watercolor monograms with a scalpel.
I bought this and this book and can't wait to get started. Living in a bigger city, than previously, also means, leaving in a smaller apartment. So, basically using less stuff. But, over the months, stuff still kept piling up. This is an affiliate link. But I love this company and their customer service is impeccable.
Now this is sad.
Don't go to work wearing this tee. Although I am all for wearing stupid shirts and tees to work. A chance to piss off someone, who is pissed by your tees. Ok, too long to explain.
Will you attend a brunch, or make your own at home?
Happy weekend!

Amarinder wants ministers, legislators to pay own income tax
Punjab CM, ministers decide to pay their own Income Tax
Pb CM moots income tax self-payment by elected representatives
Controversial Punjab minister quits; resignation yet to be accepted
Amarinder hosts NDA batch mates for a reunion
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today ordered the Director General of Police to crack down on those involved in alleged extortion of money from businessmen and industrialists.
He directed the police chief to activate all available resources to identify and take strict action against the culprits, irrespective of who they are, according to an official release.
The issue was raised during a Cabinet meeting by some members, who urged Amarinder Singh to take cognisance of reports related to extortion of money, also known as "Goonda Tax", from businesses and industries in some parts of the state.
Finance Minister Manpreet Badal alleged that his name was being vilified in the whole process, that was adversely affecting business sentiment, which the state government was striving hard to promote.
On which, the chief minister told the DGP to initiate immediate steps to crack down on those involved in extortion, without taking into consideration their political or other affiliations.
Amarinder Singh asked the DGP to ensure that the message goes down the rank and file of the police force that no laxity or delay in the matter would be tolerated.
Such activities hinder the governments efforts to bring industrial and economic development back on track, and to provide a clean and transparent environment to boost industry and investment in the state, he said.
The chief minister also asked the chief secretary to monitor the work of the committee set up to check illegal mining in the state.
Opposition party SAD has been criticising the state government for extortion of money from businesses in Bathinda allegedly at the behest of some Congress MLAs.

Lakshmi, Goddess of Wealth...
|Too lazy to comment:
8 comments:
"Keep the front door open at dusk, or Lakshmi will go away."ReplyDelete
Didn't you come back with 'I'm shutting the door so she can'trun away!!'
jaldosham pidikkum! i'm officially adopting that!
@ RR:ReplyDelete
"Didn't you come back with 'I'm shutting the door so she can'trun away!!'"
I'd have gotten some long-winded explanation about how Lakshmi can run away through any exit (real or imagined), but will come in only through the open front door! Inscrutable, this Lakshmi! like most ladies are...
I think there is something to be learnt from our parents...how to be satisfied with what you make and not hanker after material objectives of life and put a tick next to all of those. Your mom rocks :)ReplyDelete
I think prosperity/ good fortune/ welfare is often over-simplified as wealth. (aishwaryam vs vittam in Sanskrit, I think - never took Sanskrit.) So, technically, we are supposed to worship Lakshmi for the former. :)ReplyDelete
And logically, even if one is not after great wealth, that doesn't imply that they should want to be poor.
@ Spidey:ReplyDelete
I dunno... there is a very fine line between 'wanting to achieve your potential' and 'hankering after material objectives'... at least outside of b-school interview rooms...
in most cases, being "successful" and "happy" seems to involve ticking off things (or experiences) to buy...
@ Anon SS:
Happy Deepavali to you too :)
and yeah, in spite of the template dialogue, every mom is special :)
@ Anjana:
hehe, is this 'wishing for the sake of being different'? btw, I love Karthikai deepam... long since i celebrated it though :(
@ Idling:
Dunno about Sanskrit, but the wishes and the curses seem to symbolize even prosperity and fortune in terms of money (and not for instance, intelligence or health)...
and while one need not wish to be poor, one should not express a distaste for money in general :)

I don't love Google but here's More Reasons to Love Google. in light of their recent IPO announcement they're still trying to be the same wise-ass punks they were when they quietly took over the search engine crown. giving the big FUCK YOU to wall street takes brass balls, sure. i applaud them for that but inevitably they'll become the same big corporation they so easily dismiss now. anyways, yesterday i started reading Page's verbose diatribe contained in their IPO form... it was fun at first but grew tiring after a while of the same "we're gonna be a different $2.7 billion IPO" ad nauseam.
oh, sure. of course you'll be different, Google. the tongues will be up your ass for a change. ok, read the Wired thing b/c it captures all the highlights. worth the read if you use the internet (which is you, sucker!).
"Auction site eBay, meanwhile, is trading at 22 times its revenue with a market cap of $53-billion."

It is reported that Macaulay Culkin will testify on Michael Jackson's behalf, in the ongoing trial.
Culkin has stated that he would not take the stand. However, media reports state that he will deny claims that Jackson molested him at Neverland ranch.
This is contradicted by Culkin's publicist, Michelle Bega, who has told CNN "there is no change" in his position against testifying.

Mitsuki Iori (???, ???) serves the Ichinose Clan as an occult researcher in the Order of the Imperial Moon in Seraph of the End: Guren Ichinose: Catastrophe at Sixteen.
Mitsuki is a young woman, who appears to be in her early twenties. She wears a white lab coat.
Although her body is originally intact, Guren amputates her left hand at the wrist shortly after her initial appearance in Catastrophe.
Mitsuki's Monster Hand Edit
After Mitsuki takes a syringe filled with Guren's demon-poisoned blood and injects it into her left wrist, it swells and develops talons.
After being severed from her body, the demonic hand grows to a size larger than a hospital bed. The severed end sprouts legs and enables the hand to stand upright. It has three huge eyes in the palm and has a fang-filled mouth.
This hand is fully capable of independent speech and thought.
She is willing to risk everything for the Ichinose family but behaves a little recklessly at times. She thinks only about ways to serve Guren and is unconcerned after losing her own hand to an experiment for him. She prefers Guren Ichinose over Sakae Ichinose and wants to help Guren rise up against the Hiragi.
Although she is loyal to Guren, she is disobedient. Since she is too devout to use Guren himself for an experiment like he commands her, she disobeys him and risks her own life in experimentation.
She represents the occult researchers serving Guren. Although she behaves recklessly in order to gain information for her, the other scientist seem to agree with her views.
She begins working in a lab in the basement of an Ichinose Compound in a village in the mountains of Aichi Prefecture. All of the villagers who live there are part of the Order of the Imperial Moon.
Her parents' generation supports Sakae Ichinose as head of the clan.
Story: Guren Ichinose: Catastrophe at SixteenEdit
Book 3Edit
Mitsuki draws blood from Guren's arm and reports a man-made poison mixed with magical energy. She requests to perform human experimentation, but Guren says she can experiment on him alone. Stating that they both have type-A blood, Mitsuki injects Guren's blood into her left wrist and insists on becoming the test subject in Guren's place.
She begins screaming, and her hand begins transforming. Guren quickly amputates her hand, and she quickly places a fuda over the wound to stop the bleeding. The detached hand continues to grow and mutate until it is large enough to devour Mitsuki. It calls Guren a demon, and Guren kills it.
Mitsuki stops the bleeding. Other researchers rush in, but Mitsuki insists the sacrifice is worth it. She says she needed to get solid evidence in front of the head of the clan. The other scientists stand by her.
She says they stand by Guren rather than Sakae and want to pay back the Hiragi for the humiliation of torturing Sakae Ichinose.
Guren concedes and permits them to perform human experimentation but orders them to minimize it. He says they will move against the Hiragi that year, if at all. Since it is already mid-August 2012, the surprises them.
Book 4 Edit
In chapter 3, she appears at First Shibuya High School after Guren has been sealed inside. She becomes a test subject for the demon's curse under the Hiragi's command.
- Both Mitsuki Iori and Guren Ichinose have type A blood.
Quotes: Guren Ichinose: Catastrophe at SixteenEdit
Book 3 Edit

- "I know the Order doesn't currently allow human experimentation, but…"—To Guren, Chapter 1
- 'You're too important to use as a guinea pig, sir," she said.—To Guren, Chapter 1
- "Wh-What is this… So much p-power… I… Ah… Eeeeek!"—After injecting Guren's demon-tainted blood into herself, Chapter 1
- "N-No… I can't control it…"—To Guren, Chapter 1
- "What is this? You're a demon too?" it said.—Mitsuki's amputated demon-infected hand to Guren, Chapter 1
- "A-Amazing… What was that? There was so much power… I've never seen anything like it… W-We have to research this…"—After Guren kills her demon-infected hand, Chapter 1
- "I'm sorry you had to witness that, sir," she said. "But this had been a huge breakthrough for our research. I promise you, I'll find a way to unravel whatever secrets this curse is hiding."—To Guren after she loses her hand, Chapter 1
- "Your father, Sakae Ichinose, is a moderate. Our parents' generation were all content to follow him… But we are with you, Lord Guren."—To Guren, Chapter 1
Book 4 Edit
- "I-I don't care what happens to me. Just help master Gur…"—To the Imperial Demon researchers, Chapter 3

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

So i'm actually in class right now, listening to my English prof talk about graphic software like Visio, Photoshop and Illustrator. He's taking a picture from a english department picnic and taking out the beers in the picture so they can be posted on the iowa state website.
Anyway, next week one of my friends turns 21. Everything was looking good, but now I have a ton of work to do. I have a website due two days after that i've been working on for weeks now. The day after I have a test, early in the morning the next day. All my professors have decided that horrendous weekly assignments are good for student's stress levels. I'm upset enough to type in between way-word glances from my english prof.

I have to tell you that your blog has created a Louis Armstrong fan in my daughter. Last night while she was drinking her bottle, she became mesmerized, rocking to and fro, and when I clicked off the blog, she put her bottle down in protest, stared fixedly into my eyes and did her little move that means "dance" over and over again until I put the blog back on. She danced through three rounds of Louis Armstrong before she'd allow me to move on to something else. Hey, at least the girl has taste!

It's funny that this post was your last one written, because that is exactly how I got HERE! I came from Donna's MSN 106 Yahoo group, clicked on the first post there, saw you on her comments, and ended up here. I love "blog swinging", except sometimes I forget where I started and can't figure out how to get there.
P.S. I clicked on your name because I had seen it before, I think on one of my blogger's friend lists
I had to remove that last comment because it made no sense. I really must proofread before I comment. :)

So, CNN has been running some front page articles on the demise of the middle class. This is the reason Ravingleftatic exists! All those other pesky issues are just side shows. Yes, Ravingleftatic wants justice for all races, Ravingleftatic wants to eliminate torture and genocide, yes Ravingleftic wants gays to have the right to marry, yes Ravingleftatic wants religious freedom, but Ravingleftatic exists for this: To eliminate or reduce the rising income inequality between the classes, to deny the aristocracy and the noble class and to promote fiscal equality among democratic peoples.
Which is not to say I don't believe rich people can't be rich. But a Gilded Age, or the New Gilded Age as people are calling it is a sign of a rotting democracy. In my old job I'd read about the excess of corporate malfeasance, parties with mountains of cocaine, hookers, secret caves, mansions, and black jack tournaments, ice sculptures, and shell companies, tax shelters and shady investment vehicles. This is the realm of fiction, that these things actually happened was a travesty almost too much to bear. But...I'm getting a bit ahead of myself.
first article is the rising cost of a college education. Now CNN articles in general are snapshots. There is very little actual data, though it does include the following nifty chart. Even so, the snapshot is nonetheless horrifiying. One of the seminal liberal papers, the Philip Agre paper on "What is Convservatism and What is Wrong With It" makes a point of saying that conservatism is the last vestige of the old feudal social order. This article highlights one aspect of that truth. Education for all is liberalizing. In the feudal societies, only the rich were educated, and only the priesthood. Keeping the poor superstitious and fearful was one of the main jobs of the aristocracy. What are fears about The Global Warming Hoax, and Birtherism but base superstitions? So when it becomes clear that upper education is being choked off for even the middle class this ought to be cause for real concern. And it is, however, there are some political upsides. When I was in school, everyone was in school, my own sister used to say, "everyone has a college degree, it's not worth anything anymore." The argument was ridiculous, but it cast doubt on the efficacy of higher education. This was a very effective means for "the Haves" to discourage college participation. So now, perhaps the scale will tilt forward again, particularly with unemployment so high and the facts about employment so clearly favoring those with a four year degree.
One thing to say, Obama has already done a hell of a lot more for the middle class than any conservative president has ever done. Including the overhaul of the student loan program, which among other things forgave some student loan debt and allowed for increased college subsidies. Still, it's not enough, and the root of the problem remains. Income, Income Income. The minimum wage is the smallest part of the problem. I took economics, I understand the effect of price floors and ceilings, but something has to be done. There is this conceit that exorbitant salaries are required to lure the best talent at the top branches. But is that really true? I mean, the "best talent" caused the economic meltdown to begin with. I know, an over simplified analysis, but at the most basic level, it remains nonetheless true.
There was one thing from this article I wanted to note, and to correct:
"Economists speculate that one reason unemployment is so high is because the American workforce lacks the skills needed to fill the jobs that are open. As a result, companies may shift these jobs overseas, where wages are often cheaper"
Ok, first off, lazy reporting. What economists, and why are you sourcing mere speculation? Second, I keep up on this sort of thing, so I know already who CNN is referring to (Narayana Kocherlakota), and its been debunked. There are some economists, Chicago School, of course, who insist that the real reason for the high unemployment is because American workers aren't trained for the jobs that American companies require. The counter argument is simple, "Job openings have plunged in every major sector, while the number of workers forced into part-time employment in almost all industries has soared. Unemployment has surged in every major occupational category." P. Krugman, continuing, "percentage citing problems with labor quality is now at an all-time low, reflecting the reality that these days even highly skilled workers are desperate for employment," citing the NFIB. Third, and last, there is a weird logical leap between the first sentence and the second, namely that since companies can't find workers in America, they're going overseas where labor is cheaper? I think the author spliced two valid ideas here, incorrectly. Outsourcing is a common enough problem, but it occurs when wages are too high, and usually occurs with unskilled labor. So outsourcing the help desk is a good example. Sending those jobs to India saves the company money, but they're not doing it because the labor pool is too small. Now, a small wage pool drives up prices, but with 10% unemployment, a small wage pool is NOT our problem. What the author should have stressed is that companies, with all time low demand, are searching to cut costs to improve margins, and searching the bottom of the barrel for the cheapest way to get product to market. Which of course, dilutes everything, because no one here can afford to buy the product, and so it goes.
How the Middle Class Became the Underclass." Go CNN. Or actually go Annalyn Censky, who happened to pen all three of these articles. There isn't much in this February article that I hadn't read already, but its good that someone in the mainstream media keeps bringing this subject up. This isn't free market capitalism, its the height of market inefficiency, with billions of dollars wasted, sitting in trust funds or in various investment vehicles where it isn't getting spent or creating further value. This needs to be highlighted, studies need to be ran on the loss of economic growth from this stagnation. And more articles about the opulence of the top 1% need to be written and sensationalized. People need to be more angry. And they need to know. This isn't capitalism, this is feudalism. Which brings up one of the most important points in the piece, the decline of unions. Private workers are mad at public workers, because the private unions are almost non-existent, and so workers in government are better paid. This is a myth which has also been debunked--the truth? There aren't any valid statistics to support a claim either way. Federal workers are more educated, more federal jobs are white collar, and the government has contracted out many low-skilled jobs, further skewing the average. One thing is for sure, Federal workers get better benefits -- duh! That's the point of collective bargaining! One other thing I think needs to be said in defense of federal workers. There is a strict hiring procedure, a strict raise and payment procedure which is difficult to game, and often very stagnant, making it harder to rise in the ranks, or get raises in the public sphere.
The article also attacks globalization as a part of the reason for the rise, namely, the exploitation of new wage pools and untapped markets. Anytime a new pool is tapped, the market makes adjustments, and those adjustments take generations to reach anything approaching "efficient." For example, after 50 years of cheap Chinese labor, demands for higher wages are finally being met. And so they move the factories to India. The sad fact is that the creation of the middle class was ultimately countenanced by the Black Death, and the commensurate labor shortage. Still, even if it takes generations many of these bumps will get ironed out. At the cost of millions of lives crushed in meaningless poverty. This is the reason the government needs to be an actor in this drama. Lives are at stake and a nation's duty is to the welfare of all of its people. And then there are the aristocrats who fight tooth and claw to turn back the clock. Anyway, I rave.
Another thing the article points out, "In 2000, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act also weakened the government's oversight of complex securities, allowing financial innovations to take off, creating unprecedented amounts of wealth both for the overall economy, and for those directly involved in the financial sector. " This is a good thing to know. It was the last in a series of "reforms" made by the last four presidents. In financial history, you should learn the name of the CFMA, and its often overlooked.
The last article bothers me. Not because its point, I agree with it. "How the Rich Became the Uber Rich" but because of its tendency to place blame equally on both sides of the aisle. There' one offs, simple lines like "The idea of deregulation gained momentum through several decades of policy put forth by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and the Federal Reserve." Or, in the previous article, "A major game changer came during the Clinton era, when barriers between commercial and investment banks, enacted during the post-Depression era, were removed," while this is essentially true, I find it oversimplifies in an effort to be judicious in placing blame. Why be judicious? The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was proposed by three Republicans, and passed mere months before GWB became president! Not only was Clinton barely acquitted of impeachment eight months before, he was the lamest of lame ducks! Dennis Hastert was the leader of the Republican majority elected in 1998, Trent Lott lead by 55 seats in the Senate! Obama will also get blamed for extending the Bush taxcuts, and from a Ravingleftatic, that's completely valid, Obama capitulated. But from the right, it's sheer hypocracy, those taxcuts were forced on us, again, by a new Republican house!
At anyrate, props to my girl Annalyn Censky.

Preview: Sharks at Red Wings
Jimmy Howard gets second start of season for Detroit, Martin Jones to play for San Joseby Dave Hogg / NHL.com Correspondent
SHARKS (3-2-0) at RED WINGS (3-2-0)
7 p.m. ET; FS-D, CSN-CA, NHL.TV
Sharks team scope
Martin Jones is expected to be in goal for the San Jose Sharks, who enter the finale of their five-game road trip with a 2-2-0 record after a 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. Defenseman Brent Burns has three goals and six assists in five games, and enters Saturday tied with Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand for the NHL lead with nine points. Burns was a forward in the Ontario Hockey League, and thinks that background has helped on the blue line. "It certainly isn't hurting me," he said. "It's been a lot of hard work, but I've had great coaches and I'm playing with guys like Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski and Patrick Marleau. I've learned a lot from them." The Sharks are making their last scheduled visit to Joe Louis Arena, a building that has a lot of personal meaning to coach Peter DeBoer. He played for the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League and later coached the Detroit Whalers, winning an OHL title at the Joe. "I went to my first concert here in about 1986; I think it was Bon Jovi," he said. "Then I came here with Paul Maurice and Jimmy Rutherford with the Whalers, and we would practice right after the Red Wings when they had Scotty Bowman, Steve Yzerman, Nicklas Lidstrom and all the great Russian players. That was a lot of fun."
Red Wings team scope
Goalie Jimmy Howard gets the start for the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, three days after he made 32 saves in a 2-1 road win against the New York Rangers. Petr Mrazek played Friday in a 5-3 victory against the Nashville Predators. "It is really good to get back out there so quickly, especially after playing so well," he said after the morning skate. "This season, with the condensed schedule, every team is going to be using two goalies more often, so it helps to get regular work." Detroit has won three straight after starting the season with road losses to the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. Forward Darren Helm thinks speed is the biggest factor. "We're playing a lot faster this year than we did in the past, and you can see the difference it is making," said Helm, who leads the team with four goals. "We know we got lucky when [Howard] saved us in New York, but we came right back and played a great game Friday against the Predators. We have to do that again against the Sharks."
Sharks projected lineup
Tomas Hertl -- Joe Pavelski -- Joe Thornton
Mikkel Boedker -- Logan Couture -- Joonas Donskoi
Patrick Marleau -- Joel Ward -- Chris Tierney
Matt Nieto -- Tommy Wingels -- Melker Karlsson

Status report
The Sharks, who list no injuries, will dress the same lineup they used in Pittsburgh in the finale of a five-game, eight-day trip. … Detroit held an optional morning skate, with only a few veterans taking part. Coach Jeff Blashill said he wouldn't make final lineup decisions until game time, but Howard confirmed he was scheduled to start.
Who's hot
San Jose linemates Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski and Tomas Hertl have combined for 15 points in five games. Burns has points in all five games this season. … Green has a team-high seven points in five games for Detroit, and Vanek is next with six.

Also this free play will also let you check out any new strategy you have come up with to play the slot machines. But I must also warn you that playing the slot machines is pure luck. There is no way that you can change the computer that is the heart and sole of the slot machine. Playing blackjack you have a chance to play a strategy, count cards or what ever method you use and be successful at it, but not with slots. That whole machine is nothing but a computer using a random number generator (RNG) and when it is ready to pay it will do it. Nothing you do can change that.
Remember that free slot machines are a game just like and other game. It can become very addictive and you have to know when to stop. If you are having problems with gambling please seek professional help.

Temperature gage is reading hot, but the car's antifreeze level is not low...
I have a 2009 Ford Escape XLT, while driving home from work, a couple
blocks from my house I noticed that my gage needle was all the way on H
and past it. I stopped and cooled the car down. I had someone look at the
anti freeze level for me and it wasn't low, but we put a little in anyways. I
started the car and drove the one block home and my car gage needle
steadily went back up to the H. Don't know whats wrong!
3 Answers
If it is overheating, did you check to see if radiator fan/s are running? If not, I'd check that. What about your thermostat? Any applicable trouble codes? Some of the national brand auto stores will check some codes for free. Could be other issues.
I have not yet checked to see if the fans are running, so i will do that! if they are running what does that mean? and i didn't see any codes but i also wasn't looking for one and thank you for answering!
My question is pretty much the same as Megan, I have a 2009 Ford Escape XLT, while driving home from Safeway I notice my car seem real sluggish when I started to move once the light changed. Then I noticed the temp gage is at *H* and a liffle past, plus the engine light came on. If I ask my Mechanic check the radiator fans and thermostat and do not see anything wrong what is your recommendation.

It's Wednesday today and it's been a bit of a slow one. I was up early and got in touch with Reg 123 about my DNS settings for my site (technical riff raff I have no idea about!) I've been having a problem linking up my shop to the domain I bought. Anyway – Reg123 got back to me and said I've set it up properly so I had to go to Shopify and get them to help me, which they did and in record time (they answered and fixed my problem in 30 minutes! – amazing service!). I hadn't added my URL to my preferences. DAM! One totally simple thing that I needed to do. It didn't say in the shopify support forums so I was completely stuck. Oh well – it put my plans back a few days but that's ok – all sorted now so it means I can spend tonight tidying up my blog, setting up a Twitter and putting that section live. YAS.
Some of the material I ordered has arrived. I opened 4 packages last night and it felt like Christmas. I'm just waiting on 3 more packages now and I can't wait to get started making some pillows. If everything is here by tomorrow then that's what I'll be doing for the next wee while.
This weeks work from home lesson: Listen to the online radio or make itunes genius your new best friend. search for online radio stations and pick your genre of choice. It saves time spending ages picking what to listen too! After 4 years I still switch onto Idobi radio for some nostalgic music from the teenage years!

Assalamualaikum and Hello everyone ! Did you see my entry tittle ? Okay let me explain about it to make it clear, actually I've check my blog and when I look at my "Hitstat" maybe and I see that I got a visitor from another country so I feel when they are here they won't understand every entry that I post because I didn't put any translate method here ! So I think maybe start from now I need to write in English to make sure they will totally understand with what I post and what I do in my blog , right ?
But I'm not good enough in English, I just learn the basic one although I ever get a higher mark in every English Communication class and I also didn't like to using a Google translate because the words will be something that hard to understand sometimes ! Hehe ! Actually my target viewer is blogger from Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei , Indonesia and Thailand because it will give easier for me to communicate with them but now I must get a highest target for those who wanna visit my website from now ! And after this maybe I can try to post any entry that also can be share to another people from other country and share any opinion with them ! Hehe ! Ok that's all for today, sorry because my English is not good enough ! Ouh My English ! Night~~~~~~ ~.^

Heart 2 Heart Blog challenges us this week to background stamping. One of the very first techniques I learned at a home gathering and still my favorite! Once you create your background paper you can cut it and add it to several cards. In this case a Father's Day card. I used some star images in some "all-American" colors for my background, then I used images from His & Hers stamp to complete my theme. This one's for Dad, A.K.A. The Grill Master!

Please join us for 40 Days for LIFE in Norwich, CT
This fall, from September 23rd to November 1st, the Diocese of Norwich will be uniting with over 211 other communities in 45 states and 3 countries for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history—the international 40 Days for Life campaign. People of faith are praying that this effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion. With 40 days of prayer, fasting and 24/7 round-the-clock vigils at abortion clinics across the nation, we are asking God to end abortion in America.
40 Days for Life is a focused life-affirming campaign that has generated measurable lifesaving results. Some cities ha ve reported as much as a 28% drop in local abortion numbers. During the last two years, the local Norwich campaign has resulted in 2 documented saved lives that we know about and countless graces for the participants. Nationally the campaign has resulted in more than 1,500 lives saved!
Important Dates:
Tuesday, September 22nd: Mass and Kick-off at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Norwich, CT starting at 6:00 P.M. All are invited to attend. Refreshments to follow 7-9 PM. Please join us and bring a friend.
The 40 days will run from September 23rd to November 1st, 2009.
Getting Involved:
The 40 Days for Life campaign is made up of three key components:
Prayer and Fasting: inviting people to join together for 40 days of fervent prayer coupled with fasting for an end to abortion
Peaceful Vigil: standing for life through a 24/7, 40 day peaceful, public witness outside Planned Parenthood, 12 Case Street, Norwich, CT
Community Outreach: taking a positive, upbeat pro-life message to every corner of our city through media, petition drives, l awn signs, and public visibility.
We need parishes to "Adopt-a-Day"
Please prayerfully consider ways two possible ways to get involved-- as an individual and as a Parish community. One of the best ways for parishes to get involved is to "Adopt- a- Day". A church would decide to "Adopt-a-Day" and then encourage their parishioners to pledge to pray for an hour at a time, on the sidewalk, in front of Planned Parenthood at 12 Case St. in Norwich on the specified "adopted day". The parish would have one or two people organizing this effort with sign ups at the parish level.
You can also get involved individually by pledging to pray for an hour. To do so you must log onto: www.vigilcalendar.com/norwich To "A dopt-a-Day" or for more information please contact Brian J. Daly.
*Whether you've done this before or not, it is imperative that you register at www.vigilcalendar.com/norwich to participate at the vigil site each time you pray in front of Planned Parenthood at 12 Case St. in Norwich.
If you have any questions or need more information, or are unable to register please contact Brian J. Daly at 860-822-1788 or email@example.com or visit www.40daysforlife.com/norwich
We already have the following days adopted for Fall 2009!
If your church/organization is not on this list, please consider getting together with other members to Adopt-A-Day.
For information on Adopting a Day, please contact Brian Daly at
firstname.lastname@example.com or 860-822-1788

Blue Point Winter Ale
I picked up a case of Blue Point Winter Ale from Westy's. The beer has an amber color with a white frothy head. There is a light hop and malty aroma but it is not very prevalent. The taste is malty and sweet at first and has an allspice accent on the end. The alcohol content is 5.5% ABV. I thought that the Winter Ale was a decent beer, but not an over the top excellent beer. The flavors and spices were nicely balanced, but not overly impressive. I thought that the beer seemed to be a spiced up version of the Toasted Lager (which I really like), but it did not make this an excellent beer.

Rio 2016 will be Dempsey's fifth Games, having made his Olympic debut aged 19 at Sydney 2000, where he finished 16th, in the then Mistral windsurfing class.
Four years later in Athens he made history in becoming the first Brit to ever win a windsurfing Olympic medal. At London 2012 he took the silver.
Now the most experienced and oldest member (turns 36 Saturday) of the Team GB sailors this year, he is aiming to add gold to complete the set of medals.
He said, "As you get older you understand it is just windsurfing, but I'm still as determined, just more balanced."
Dempesy is a double RS:X World Champion, clinching gold at both the 2009 and 2013 Championships
The RS:X class is scheduled to contest a 13-race series, with three races per day, starting Monday with the final one off medal race on Sunday.

Terming the Indian market as largely untapped in terms of the spread of interactive white boards,SMART launched V280 board in New Delhi. Terry Wason,Area Manager for CEE,Russia and India,SMART Technologies launching the new product maintained that this launch signifies the growing interest of the company in the Indian market.
Wason who holds a Master of Business Administration,joined SMART Technologies in April 2006 as the International Channel Manager and presently looking after CEE,Russia and SE Asia; and is responsible for managing sales channels for these regions while having a main focus on the Indian market.
Talking about the market strategies of SMART in India,Wason stated that with the penetration levels of interactive white boards standing a way less than 1% in the country,India has to go a long way in this regard. Since we a have a market share of 53.2% worldwide,we are also optimistic about the Indian market which remains largely untapped.
When asked about the reason behind the low spread of interactive boards in India,despite having a huge education sector,Wason blamed it on the high costs of the boards which cannot be afforded by the larger component of the Indian education sector. Cost of these interactive white boards is a big challenge in the Indian market. V280 is one such product which can beat the cost challenge to a great extent, Wason clarifies.
Talking about the efficiency of interactive whiteboards in the education sector,Wason maintained that the newly launched products have been provided with specific features,keeping in mind the requirements in education. These products have also been enabled with key features such as the provision of pictures,animation which has made them an attractive option for educators. Initially when we introduced the product,it was meant as a presentation tool mostly used in the corporate sector. But,after sometime,with due innovation and awareness the education sector too accepted it wholeheartedly, Wason asserted.

Melbourne CBD
After two years in the making, RMIT's enormous, $220-million New Academic Street project is finally complete.
Lyons Architecture led a five-firm design consortium comprising NMBW, Maddison, MvS, and Harrison and White. Working closely with RMIT to achieve the university's goals of achieving a future-looking building that has an unprecedented focus on students, this major project has transformed the scattered RMIT city campus into an interconnected, vibrant collection of buildings.
Rather than not down the existing building and start from scratch, the design team embarked on a bold project of adaptive re-use. The previous 1960s buildings were transformed into an environmentally sustainable and functionally flexible building that drew from iconic Melbourne imagery and cutting-edge technology for its design. As well as serving students with its diversity of spaces, New Academic Street re-establishes a long-lost connection between RMIT and Melbourne CBD, incorporating a number of community areas intended for wider use.
"We've used an existing structure to make something new, instead of knocking it down and starting from scratch," says RMIT on the effort of the architectural consortium.
"In the entire 32,000-square-metre footprint of the project, the only teaching and learning spaces delivered are the TV studios and other associated facilities in the Media Precinct. Everything else within NAS is student-focused, and was delivered for students – to provide them with spaces to study, hang out and collaborate.
"The building is also targeting a Green Building Council Green Star 5-star 'interiors' rating – and it will be one of the first educational facilities to be rated."
As the much-anticipated project comes to a close (although New Academic Street was featured in the Open House Melbourne Weekend calendar this year, its official opening party is on 20 September 2017), we spoke to RMIT about how New Academic Street is setting the standard for educational architecture.
What was the design brief for New Academic Street?
The main aim in undertaking the New Academic Street (NAS) project was to improve the centre of the City campus by opening it up to the community, to engage with its CBD surroundings and update key facilities for students.
These buildings – 8, 10, 12 and 14 – were built in the 1960s/70s, [were] turned away from Swanston Street and needed to be updated. A key element of the project was to bring more light and air into the heart of these buildings that housed critical student services, the cafe and the Swanston Library.
How long has this project been in the making, and how many stages did it comprise?
In 2011 a team of RMIT staff, led by RMIT's Property Services, met to discuss the 'Swanston Street Activation' project, which later became known as the 'Knowledge Hub' and finally morphed into 'New Academic Street'.
Construction of the project officially began in August 2015, and NAS was delivered in stages. Stage 1 was delivered in March 2016, with the completion of the Student Portals on levels 9 – 13 in Building 10. Stage 2 was handed back in phases starting in February this year. This included two new stairways from Swanston Street straight up to RMIT Connect (manages student transactions like enrolments), new retail and student-facing services along level 4, the Swanston Library (refurbished spaces and two new in-fill buildings on Bowen Street), the Media Portal & Media Precinct TV studios (over levels 2 & 3 along Swanston Street) and new balconies and rooftop terraces. Stage 3 included refurbishment of lower levels of Building 8, a new entry and portico on Swanston Street, and new retail spaces along Franklin Street. These spaces opened in mid-August. The final piece of the project is the Garden Building in Bowen Street that will be completed very soon.
When was the project officially completed?
The spaces are open now (except for the Garden Building, which is opening soon) and the official launch day is 20 September. There will be a street party across the precinct to celebrate the end of the project and RMIT's 130th anniversary.
What did the project entail, from a design standpoint?
The precinct was designed by five leading architecture firms. Lyons Architecture led the design consortium that included Harrison and White, NMBW Architecture Studio, MvS Architects and Maddison Architects, all of whom are bound tightly to the RMIT Architecture School as either graduates, current academics or both.
Working with RMIT, the consortium was selected by Lyons to produce spaces that were diverse and distinct from one other, but still complementary.
Their designs were guided by iconic Melbourne features, like city laneways and glass-covered arcades. Central to their design approach was the willingness to connect RMIT's City campus to the Melbourne CBD and create a dialogue between the city and campus.
What are some of the main design features of the building?
How is it different from RMIT's existing buildings? What gap does it fill, if any?
In the entire 32,000-square-metre footprint of the project, the only teaching and learning spaces delivered are the TV studios and other associated facilities in the Media Precinct. Everything else within NAS is student-focused, and was delivered for students – to provide them with spaces to study, hang out and collaborate. All up, there 4,600 student seats within the precinct.
The revamped library has increased in size by 40 percent, with 1,920 seats and spaces for every type of student (e.g. traditional desks and chairs, collaborative study pods, rocking chairs and bean bag spaces bordered by wall nooks and booths for solo study). Both levels of the library open out onto balconies with power points, deck chairs, lounge chairs, desks and study booths.
Could you talk us through some of the sustainability features? Why was it important to incorporate sustainability into this project?
The build itself is a bold example of "adaptive re-use". We've used an existing structure to make something new, instead of knocking it down and starting from scratch. The climate of the campus is controlled through a mixed-mode ventilation system, which harnesses fresh air and roof censors to ensure optimum comfort with minimal environmental impact.
NAS has also utilised low-impact materials, particularly within the Garden Building. The structure of the Garden Building is made from Glulam timber – a fabricated, glue-laminated timber that has lower embodied energy than concrete and steel, a greater strength than traditional timber, and is safer for construction workers to handle.
The building is also targeting a Green Building Council Green Star 5-star 'interiors' rating – and it will be one of the first educational facilities to be rated. So consideration was given in the procurement of building materials during construction to comply with these requirements.

If you have to make yourself a New Year's resolution, resolve to be a Passionate Programmer (or a passionate whatever-you-are). Chad Fowler wrote a delightful book, The Passionate Programmer: Creating a Remarkable Career in Software Development. What Chad doesn't realize is that you don't have to be a programmer to read this book. You can have any role in software and benefit from reading this book.
The book is organized into 5 parts:
- Choosing Your Market
- Investing in Your Product
- Executing
- Marketing…Not Just for Suits
- Maintaining Your Edge
Chad has 8-13 lessons/guidelines/suggestions in each part. Some of my favorites are:
From Choosing Your Market: "Coding Don't Cut It Anymore", Fowler says you should learn the business domain of your product. I also liked "Be a Generalist" and "Be a Specialist" in this section. Why both? Because you need to know how things work outside your (small) job label to be really effective. And, you need to know specialized content to be great at a job. Luckily, Chad has "Act on it!" sections to help you see what to do.
In "Investing…", the lesson I liked best was "On the Shoulders of Giants". If you read existing code (or tests or project plans or requirements), what insights do you gain?
In "Executing" the lesson I liked best was "Say "No"". Chad has all kinds of reasons about why and how we need to say no at work. My favorite quote:
"If someone always says "yes," they're either incredibly talented or lying. The latter is usually the case."
In the Marketing section, there's a lesson called "Build Your Brand," where Chad describes how to think about your brand (your name) and which types of projects to affiliate yourself with.
In the Maintaining section, the lesson I liked best is "Avoid Waterfall Career Planning." As Chad says, your career is the most complex project you'll ever have to manage. Careers are not linear. If you look at successful people, they took advantage of opportunities. (This is why I hate the interview question, "Where do you want to be in 5 years?")
Do yourself a favor and buy this book. (Yes, your manager should do this kind of career development with you, but most managers don't know how to do it themselves, never mind for someone else.) On the Prag site, you can get the book in hard and a variety of softcopy formats. On Amazon, just hardcopy.
If you're looking for a job, check out my review of Andy Lester's Land the Tech Job You Love.

Dinner last night was Weight Watchers White Bean Chicken Chili. This is always a hit. It's great for a party because it makes about a ton. If you're not making it for a party then it freezes really well. Maybe you should make it for your holiday guests this next week? I think so. This one has been posted on this blog before, but I'm going to re post it. I'm nice like that.

October in Pictures
November 1, 2010
I have been swapping phones with Crafthole lately due to one of them working in Watlington and one of them not, so I let the Photo-a-Day Project slip a lot. We have ourselves all sorted out now though so I have my old iphone back at last. I've started it up again as well as a proper diary, which I haven't done seriously since 2006 (our first winter living on a canal boat put an end to my diary-writing days and I never quite picked it up again). I'm hoping they'll both be a spur for each other, as they are nice compliments.
Diary writing is a strange thing to do in many ways, and I can't imagine who is ever going to read through them all. I write the diary in the same way, and maybe for the same reasons, as I write this blog: I don't assume a readership, I do it for the feeling of purpose it gives me and as an aid to my own TERRIBLE memory.
I will try to explain what I mean by purpose. When I created my flickr account it had a huge impact on my motivation to take photographs: having a destination for my work, whether anybody looked or not, provided me with a reason to go out and make more. A diary somehow motivates me in the same way with the rest of my life. Also, if I do nothing worthy of note I feel it much more strongly if I also am forced to write about it afterwards. So simply having somewhere to document my life and the things I am interested in, to put a little of myself in a book or online, is a therapy and a motivator. Even when something bad happened, there was always the consolation of, "well, it's something to write in the diary" as my brother and I used to say to each other. I'm quite excited about starting it up again :-)

Canada considers more heroin injection sites
Health authorities in Canada's westernmost province want to make the country's first test facility for heroin injection permanent and are considering opening additional clinics to meet the huge demand. The Vancouver facility was set up in 2003, against US opposition, as a three-year experiment exempt from Canadian drug laws.
Since then the clinic, North America's only such operation, has run at capacity, with some 800 heroin injections daily.
"It's all-round positive, with no downsides," said Perry Kendall, British Columbia province's chief medical officer.
Addicts bring in drugs purchased illegally on the street, and self-inject them under medical supervision. There are onsite emergency services in case of overdose and staff nurses and counselors to provide health care and referrals to rehabilitation facilities.

"Introduction: The following collection of email correspondence concerns theology in the Metropolitan New York Synod of the ELCA in the years 2004-2005. The chief topics are the episcopal office, the Bible, the law/gospel distinction, and the nature of Lutheranism. It is earnest writing, but not polished. In fact, it was not originally intended for wider distribution, but was more along the lines of private reflections by busy clergy trying to sort out some theological matters. The correspondence was occasioned by controversies in the Metropolitan New York Synod about blessing same-sex unions and ordaining people in such unions, and it is hereby released in hope that these reflections might contribute to the ongoing deliberations about these matters. The writers are Metropolitan New York Synod Bishop Stephen P. Bouman, synod pastors Amandus J. Derr and Gregory P. Fryer, and Lutheran theologian Robert W. Jenson. The collection begins with a preface by Bishop Bouman. The exchanges were initiated by Pastor Gregory Fryer late springtime 2004. This correspondence was released with the consent of the participants and enjoyed a modest distribution to a few clergy and theologians prior to our recent Metropolitan New York Synod Assembly, May 20-21, 2005, at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Huntington Station, Long Island."

Gregory Fryer is the pastor of my former parish, Immanuel LC of NYC. (Upper East Side, 88th and Lexington). He is a good and Godly man, taking on a very revisionist bishop in a very revisionist synod. Prayers for him.
