It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. C12 Fuel Filter Base. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. C12 Fuel Filter Base. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. C12 Fuel Filter Base. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

Creating an Energy Portfolio ... for Dummies
Before starting, let's get something straight: I'm no expert in energy. But really, how many people out there can honestly say they're "experts" in the field? Probably not many, but everyone needs some exposure to the industry.
That being the case, I think it would be worthwhile to show how I, an investor of average energy knowledge, went about filling out this vital part of my retirement portfolio.
Oil: it's not going anywhere anytime soon
Though "peak oil" enthusiasts will certainly have the last laugh if we run out of oil sooner rather than later, I don't see the use of the black gold disappearing anytime soon. Though we're certainly looking for ways to wean ourselves from it, too much of the world relies on oil and its byproducts for demand to taper over the coming years.
While going after obvious names like ExxonMobil (NYS: XOM) or BP (NYS: BP) might make a lot of sense (we see their stores every day), I take an alternate approach. I thought back to the California gold rush. Thousands moved West to make their fortune, but precious few found it in gold. Some clever businesses, however, sold things that gold prospectors needed -- picks, axes, shovels, and blue jeans-- and made out like bandits.
National Oilwell Varco (NYS: NOV) , fills the same niche today that Levi Strauss did more than 100 years ago. The company provides all the parts that oil and natural gas companies need to do their business. Dubbed "No Other Vendor" because of its ubiquity, the company's parts have a 60% share in the rig equipment market, and 90% of all rigs out there are equipped with at least some of its products.
I find that NOV gives me the kind of exposure to oil that I'm looking for, without the company-specific risks that might be associated with owning an oil extractor. Currently, through purchases and share appreciation, NOV is 10.2% of my portfolio.
Natural gas: the wave of the future
Like I said, I don't think oil is going anywhere anytime soon, but that doesn't mean we aren't looking for alternatives. Natural gas is front and center for alternative energy plays. Fellow Fool Aimee Duffy recently completed a brilliant crash course on natural gas that's a must-read for any newbie to the field.
Again, it would be easy to go after companies actively extracting natural gas from the earth. If that's what you're after, big names like Chesapeake Energy (NYS: CHK) or SandRidge Energy (NYS: SD) -- both of which have exposure to oil extraction as well -- are worth exploring.
For me, however, I have a two-pronged attack. First, NOV has some exposure to natural gas: More than half of the company's North American activity comes from shale and other unconventional drilling methods.
Furthermore, I went looking for another company that would benefit from natural gas, regardless of who extracts it. My search left me with Westport Innovations (NAS: WPRT) . The company develops engines that can run on natural gas only. No, your next sedan probably won't have a natural gas engine, but Westport is making strides. The company already has one major partnership formed with trucker Cummins, and another with Royal Dutch Shell. Since it's still early in the game for Westport, it only accounts for 1.7% of my portfolio, though I plan on adding to that position soon.
Other alternatives: biofuels.
Finally, I would be remiss to leave out a tiny company whose technology has totally wowed me: Solazyme (NAS: SZYM) . Using patented microalgae, the company can turn things like sugar cane, grass, and forest rubbish into tailored oils.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, consider what the company's latest earnings release revealed:
- Feedstock agreements (the sugarcane, corn, grass, etc. used in the process) are guaranteed to fulfill 90% of the company's target capacity through 2015.
- Testing with the U.S. armed forces is continuing to go well, as they have entered into stage two of their agreement.
- The first commercial flight using a Solazyme blend was just successfully conducted.
- Unilever just signed an agreement for tailored oils.
As you might guess, this company and technology is so small that I have yet to bite. I will, however, be adding my very first position when trading rules allow, bringing Solazyme up to 1% of my portfolio.

A federal judge in Montana on Thursday temporarily blocked construction on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, putting a hold on the Trump administration's permit for the project pending further environmental review. U.S. District Judge Brian Morris ordered the Trump administration to provide more comprehensive information on the pipeline's potential to contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, oil spills, and impact on Native American communities in its path. The 1,200-mile pipeline would transport oil south from Alberta, Canada. The decision was praised by environmentalists. It represented a major setback for the oil industry and President Trump, who reversed a decision by former President Barack Obama and approved the project in January 2017, promising it would provide jobs and boost the economy.

Twisted Dolls - Play at your
own RISK!
The trend of dolls made to
reflect their owner'sinner child
may not be a new one. Handmade
dollswith that idea in mind have
been seen on the marketfor some
time now. However, the people
makingand purchasing horror dolls have inner children
with teeth and that is a totally, different story.
These dolls are truly like no other. They are
influenced by horror movies, books, music,
twisted childhoods, imaginary friends bad dreams
and so forth. One of the originators of this trend could be
said to be,The Living Dead Dolls. They were originally
handmade in 1998 and are now produced and available in
mainstream venues. Some handmade horror dollmakers
distance themselves from these
origins through theoriginal concepts
surrounding their dolls, as well as,
the distinction of being, "art dolls".
Art dolls are typically just as their
name implies pieces of art. They are
individual in concept, execution and
display. These dolls are not toys.
They are expressions of ideas and
imagerythat speaks to their creators
and to those that purchase them. There are other differences
between horror art dolls and other art dolls. These dolls embody
such things as sideshow freaks, horror victims and monsters,
disfigured children and adults. They are truly some of the terrors
of humanity. So you ask, why would anyone want a doll the
likes of these? The resurgence of Victorian styles is a huge
trend that crosses over into a million others. Including
this one. The Victorians had a real need to see and collect
oddities. There is also the in growing interest in places such as the
Mutter Museum, which is full of medical examples of naturally
occurring strangeness. Another area of growing interest is the
history of carnivals and freak shows. Add all of these things together
and you have all the reason you need for horror art dolls to have all the
adoring fans they're makers can handle.
These dolls are made from everything
you can imagine! You do not
have to be a traditional doll maker to
enjoy this trend!
For example
Polymer Clay - missmillificent
Recovered/Recycled Dolls -
Assemblage Art - readbetweenlines
Resin - Creepydolls
For generations dolls and sweet little girls have been like peanut
butter and banana sandwiches and bacon. They just to go together.
Well, just like little girls, dolls have changed. They aren't cute and
sweet anymore. There are little girls with skull hair bows and
black nail polish and there are dollies with stitches in their faces
and mix matched eyeballs. They are both creepy and neither
would look out of place in a cemetery. That being said, I for one
am glad to see them! Of course, I'm not the only one. This trend
has dug in its claws and won't let go no matter how much we
scream! (Scream for more that is!)

The third-generation Nissan Murano will make its public debut at the New York motor show. The new model, which borrows heavily from the Resonance concept, will go on sale internationally later this year.
Key elements of the design, which Nissan calls "V-motion", are the LED boomerang lights, floating roof and sculpted surfaces. The interior is just as modern and features a wide center console and panoramic moonroof.
The 2015 Murano will be powered by a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine that produces 194 kW of power and 325 Nm of torque, while mated to an Xtronic transmission. All-wheel drive is available as an option.
Dubbed Zero Gravity, they use space agency research to support the driver and passengers in more ergonomically-comfortable ways, supposedly making for a better experience on roadtrips.
Other interior features include NissanConnect, for hooking up to smartphone apps, along with an 8-inch center console multitouch display, Bose audio system with 11 speakrrs, and Bluetooth streaming. Safety kit will include blind-spot and moving object detection, emergency braking and collision spotting for perils ahead, and a new Cross Traffic Alert that uses radar to spot moving vehicles behind the Murano while you're parking.

Dennis Kennedy has some more thoughts about email management in Email Management - Eating My Own Dog Food.
He talks about what you do when you get beyond the "empty your inbox" idea. There are still all those articles you need to handle (those "do later" items). Dennis uses Outlook 2003's follow-up flags, but he has discovered that when he gets too many follow-ups, e-mail paralysis sets in again. This is where he (and I) moves away from email management to basic priority management. Operate intentionally: how frequently do I want to read and respond to email today? How much time do I have to devote to those thoughtful responses? And then stick to my plan!
And the tools I use need to support the way I want to operate. Dennis pines for "touch it once" systems, rather than "handle it later" systems.

Damn. I was just reading Marc Lynch's Abu Aardvark and learned that one of my Poli Sci professors has passed away:
Before I leave town I'd just like to note with great sorrow the passing of a friend, Tim Cook, after a year-long battle with brain cancer. Tim, who was my senior colleague at Williams until he left for LSU in 2002, was a brilliant scholar of the political role of the mass media. Our long conversations over coffee no doubt played a great role in shaping my evolving thoughts about the Arab media. More important, Tim was the kind of senior faculty member of which every junior faculty dreams: demanding of and living up to high academic standards, but unfailingly generous, supportive, open and excited to engage with new ideas. With his constant intellectual curiosity and his generosity of time, intellect, and spirit he will always be an inspirational role model to me, and to all the colleagues, students, and friends lucky enough to have known him and Jack over the years. He will be missed.
I had Professor Cook for a class on the US Presidency on route to my PoliSci BA from Williams. Professor Cook fundamentally impacted and shaped the way I view leadership and politicis to this day. Thank you, Professor Cook.

When it comes to the ultimate luxury getaway, a stay at Richard Branson's private Necker Island sounds like a great idea.
Originally bought in 1978, Branson transformed this secluded 74-acre island into his own not-so-humble abode.
Due to some legal mumbo jumbo, Branson had to make a piece of the island into a resort, so that's what he did.
Necker Island is considered a 6-star luxury resort and offers accommodations for up to 28 guests.
During your stay you can enjoy your own gourmet chef that will cook you anything you want at any time, day or night.
The cost for all this? Around $50K per night, but from the pictures below, it looks well worth it, especially if you can split it 28 ways.

He's a deep thinker. Especially when I say "treat?" in order to get his ears to perk up.
This shot is definitely now on my list of personal favorites, in large part because of the sense memory it evokes – the feeling of lying in slightly damp grass, Dante wandering around sniffing everything, the sound of the breeze through the trees, the warm air of a 90 degree afternoon.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Belize, the tiny Central American country, wedged between Guatemala and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, is blessed with virgin beauty. Vast, white-sand beaches host translucent, azure waters bearing the largest barrier reef in the world, after Australia. Two hours inland, dense rainforests and remote rivers shelter endangered species, many indigenous and unique to Belize, and conceal rich, historical Mayan sights. From the astonishing array of marine life to its dazzling display of jungle life, the Caribbean way of life completes the allure.
A plethora of uber-luxury properties is peppered throughout, offering serious R&R in thatched-roof finery. None finer than the two, multiple award-winning, ultra-luxury retreats of Hollywood film director, Francis Ford Coppola: Blancaneaux Lodge and Turtle Inn. Coppola is the Godfather of hoteliers in Belize. With ambitious vision and determination to match, decades ago he converted his private 70—acre home in the forest into an enchanted fairytale retreat, which consistently tops travel polls. He cleverly uses the subtlety and drama of nature to play on surrealism, stimulating the subconscious mind whilst pandering to every conscious desire.
Arrival at Blancaneaux is a fantasy. Nothing short of a film set, the dramatic hideaway is captivating, shrouded by the wonderland of the jungle-clad Cayo district. One 'Jaguar Juice' cocktail here is enough to stir wild senses. Twenty luxurious casitas are woven into surrounding tall, elegant, Honduras pine trees of the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve. The sun glimmers through the fine, lush needles in the hillside at dawn and dusk. Below, rainwater glides off granite boulders into swirling cascades of Privassion Creek, collecting in turquoise pools. Thunderous echoes of distant waterfalls and wild animals nibble at the senses. Outdoor and nature-lovers will delight in the rainforest. The soft limestone bed, under the damp exotic canopy of sail-like fronds and huge palms stretching skywards, is punctuated with caves and Cenotes; sunken water caves, which the ancient Mayans believed led to the underworld. Now, they're whimsical swimming sanctuaries to challenge Enid Blyton's imagination.
By dusk, I head to my haven, "Waterfall Spa." The most incredible setting of any spa on the planet, an open-faced treatment room steps directly into a semi-circular, outdoor infinity pool, peering over cascading waterfalls and enveloped by dripping vegetation of tropical jungle. Before my Balinese massage I soak in the hot pool. Mist evaporates off the surface drifting downstream over natural sandy beaches on the banks of the gushing Creek.
After a few days in the rainforest, I leave to uncover a contrasting image of Belize. One hundred thirty miles away on the Caribbean Coast lies Placencia, a narrow, sleepy peninsula lined by idyllic, white sand beaches and azure seas. Understated, yet plush, Coppolla's second property, Turtle Inn, is a labour of love. This beachside refuge attains luxury whilst embracing Belize nature. Behind an ultra-relaxed façade runs a slick operation, headed up by an unlikely candidate, at least upon initial meeting. Martin Krediet is the Johnny Depp in Coppola's beach set, appearing in a white linen shirt, trilby hat and shorts. Our informal, friendly greeting in this blissful setting induces relaxation from the moment of arrival. That's part of the charm of Turtle Inn and Martin assumes his role like a natural.
A handful of spacious, individual thatched cabanas are mere steps from the beach. I particularly delight in my airy private deck for the serene option of in-cottage breakfast. But with so much beauty outside, it's difficult to find an excuse to stay inside. My preferred spot is the open beach bar for Champagne lunch. Dining on gourmet Red Snapper Burger or Garlic Butter Lobster, sipping Roederer, whilst feeling the powdery sand between my toes and listening to the motion of the sea just a metre away is, quite frankly, my idea of heaven.
Placencia is peaceful and relaxed. But when you're ready for some action, the Northern Island of Ambergris Caye is the most popular spot in Belize. Famous for San Pedro town, of Madonna's 'La Isla Bonita' fame, here the bars, restaurants, and cafes spill onto the beach. A seriously sexy mode of transport to Ambergris Caye is private helicopter ride with Astrum. My journey takes in glistening exquisite blues, greens, and every shade in between of the 190-mile barrier reef. Rising out of Belize City feels particularly Bond-esque and I can't hide my excitement as I peer below my feet to glass-bottom views. Speckles of land litter the sea as a thousand dark dots amidst piercing cats eye water. From above, the ocean is translucent. I shriek as we spot a family of sharks and rays over the aptly-titled Shark Ray Alley, a very popular snorkelling diving spot. Gustavo flies low over Hol Chan Marine Reserve as we spot more sea-life, then shows off a 360 panorama right along the barrier reef as far as the eye can trace. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is a highlight of my Belize trip.
Arriving at 'The Phoenix Resort', an award-winning oasis of luxury and privacy at the foot of San Pedro's action, I'm left wanting for nothing in this Conde Nast Johansens recommended property. My sumptuous two-bedroom Caribbean Seafront apartment is loaded with the latest technology, utilities and with the luxury of massive space – 1500 sq ft – this is an ideal spot for the young, sassy, and demanding, with the best Concierge in town. San Pedro is as hedonistic as Belize gets. Even then, the party scene is easy-going and casual with waterfront clubs radiating more of a drop-in duck-out feel.
Luxuriating by the beach on my final evening, watching the sun melt into the sea, I'm startled at Belize. Rainforests to beaches, tiny planes to helicopters, and properties of effortless luxury and Caribbean warmth, this dot on the map nation encompasses everyone's ideas of dream holiday. It's a matter of time before Belize features highly on every traveler's destinations of a lifetime.

You can drive your car on the mountain, in an asphalt road of course, through several big gates that separates animals locations by its species. You will be warned not to open your car window when you are entering the king of the jungle area. The safari park also has a night safari tour where you can see the nocturnal animals in their active state. Aside from sightseeing the park also give many animal attractions from primate and tigers to dolphins and penguins and many more other things to do. If one day isn't enough for you, stay at the safari lodge and continue for another adventure on the next day.

I received a sample of the Wilma Schumann Hydrating Collagen Eye Pads from Birchbox. For $18.00 USD, you will receive 5 pairs of pads.
I only received 1 pair, but oh well.
What Birchbox Says:
For a better round-the-clock solution to fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness, try these gel pads with 100 percent pure collagen. The hydrating pads plump and restore the youthful appearance around your eyes and enhance eye contour naturally without any scary needles. These easy-to-use beauty wonders repair sensitive skin around your eyes after time in the sun, and help brighten eyes.
After cleansing, open foil pack and immediately apply one pad beneath each eye. Apply evenly to ensure a good contact with the skin. Leave on for 20 minutes then peel and dispose. Do not reuse.
What FairyGodMother says:
Basically, this is a super moisture infused eye pad that sticks to your skin. Like this:
It's weirdly annoying to wear around for 20 minutes. They are pretty thick and heavy, so you very much feel them on your skin. Is it terrible? No, just irritating enough to be irritating for 20 minutes, but not irritating enough to hate it.
Does this deliver what it promises?
Yes, the results are instant and last about a day. This stuff hydrates like nobody's business. If you have dry skin or tiny wrinkles under your eyes, this will minimize them temporarily.
Does it work on dark circles?
No idea. I don't have dark circles and the description makes no promises about diminishing dark under eye circles. Some reviewers seem to think it made a difference though.
Will this help on puffiness?
Yes, temporarily because it pumps everything else around the eye.
Would I purchase this?
Yes, this is a good product. It's nice to use before a special occasion or if your skin has been going through some major dryness.
Have you tried the Wilma Schumann Hydrating Collagen Eye Pads? Do you like them?
Thanks for reading!

Hayley and Zach - The Old Brewery
It was a wonderful Friday wedding for Hayley and Zach. The forecast during the week was rain but in the end we didn't have a cloud in the sky. A wonderful ceremony at Queens Gardens, then off to some awesome graffiti walls around town before their reception at The Old Brewery. Thanks to Willeton Wedding Flowers and Bellagio Limos too.

I'm not about to be like "yo, I'm a babe and get hit on all the time"... because A) that is false B) my friends are the babest of babes so gentleman callers usually go their direction C) I got a rock on my finger so the fellas don't even bother to holler and D) I tend to give off the "back up off it" vibe when they try.
Today I will recount a story which I find humorous. Please keep in mind this tale takes place while I was working on set for a commercial (that is to say it was full of extras)... please note, I was working, doing my JOB, not trying to seduce the talent (I am not a lady of the night, nor am I remotely seductive, just ask my friends who have seen me dance... also I am using the term 'talent' very loosely here).
We will call this the story of The Awkward Extra.
It was midway through the third day of filming. Everything was going according to plan. The lead actors had already gone through hair and makeup, I was on my second cup of (much needed) coffee and the extras were due to arrive at any moment.
Francesca, my dear friend and lead makeup artist, hates extras, and I never really understood why until I worked this job; they are an odd bread (not all, just most). They have stories, lots of stories, which they long to tell to anyone (and everyone) who will listen; and thats not all. They have more energy then a hyperactive chihuahua, and this particular group had the WORST hair of all time... seriously, it was like the twilight zone of bad hair.
Half an hour later, while rushing to make sure the extras looked presentable, I came across a young guy with a wiry, wig like version of the Billy Ray Cyrus mullet and the style of a twelve year old who was playing dress-up in his dads suit. I walked over and attempted to tame his hair into something a little less offensive to the eyes, with little to no luck BECAUSE, within two seconds of my saying "hi, I'm the hairstylist on the set today, I will be fixing your hair before you go on camera" he stuttered back, "so...s...so...ssso ha,ha, how old are you?"
Listen... I will tell you my age, no problem, but it was the way he asked... the tone... the intention. "I'm 26" I responded, "why how old are you?" I said this with a distinct tone of hesitance and dislike, hoping he would realize just how awkward he was making things.
"o,oh, oooh, I... I'm 25" He sputtered back (mind you, he did not have a speech impediment, he was just incredibly socially awkward, which is saying something because I am socially inept).
"Cool." I respond. The final say I thought. I packed up my products and started walking to the next extra.
"Oh, wait... um... um... so, do you... do you like have a boyfriend?"
SERIOUSLY DUDE!? Our entire interaction lasted no more that 2 minutes and you are hitting on me!? Ok, I appreciate the balls it must have taken for him to ask, but he has watched the Prince of Persuasia's dating DVD one too many times.
"I'm married." I said.
"Oh." He looked down at his hands, "is it serious?"
I gave him one last quizzical look, smiled, and said, "Yeah, pretty serious... seeing that we are married." I turned to go, "Have fun on set ok?"
And I walked away.
Cold? Maybe... but you guys there is more.
As I left to walk to my car that night homeboy casually FOLLOWED ME OUT. I called Drew and made small talk, making it obvious that I was talking to the person I love, hoping he would get the hint and leave me alone. Billy Ray coughed to get my attention, and with all that he had inside of himself he tried to muster a 'swagger' (sadly I've met five year olds with better game).
I watched, in awe of his absolutely oblivious nature as his oversized taupe blazer disappeared into a '98 Toyota Carola in the parking lot across the street.
I can't help but wonder if his tactics have gotten him very far and I do, genuinely, wish him the best of luck. But, I hope for the woman who one day falls for his awkward charm, that he has a better haircut.
Do you have an awkward pickup story? Leave a comment to share it with the class.
*Being hit on made me feel like I was 18, in the days where I wore screen printed t-shirts and was all punk rock. This look pays homage to those days.

Most of my best teaching happens through conversation. Conversations. Plural. My students and I had conversations about race and melanin and segregation for a couple weeks around Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, which fit into our yearlong conversation about identity and community. That yearlong conversation involves a lot of shorter conversations about what it means to be Deaf or deaf, how to advocate for accommodations, and their right to choose a preferred modality for communication.
The topics we covered this week during calendar time, transition times, and during some of those happy teachable moments were funny, surprising, important, and mundane. It was a very ordinary week, really. Our conversations are often this way. My students know that if they ask me a question I will always answer it, and I will do my best to answer it honestly. They know I will try to tell a story to help them remember the answer and the information. They know I do not know everything, and that they will be included in the search for the answer.
Here is a rundown of the things we learned during informal teaching time this week (not counting the actual structured reading, writing, math, and social studies time):
- The stuff in our noses is snot. If you plug your nose when you sneeze, it can pop your ears. They won't explode out your head (thanks for asking, Taz), but it will hurt. Possibly a lot. ("I have very snot my nose! Sneeze ears BOOOOOM!!" –Taz)
- Even though Immodium makes you feel better and stop pooping, it doesn't mean you are instantly healthy. Your body still needs to rest.
- Faces have left and right sides, not east and west, but if they did, the west side of my face was twitching.
- Sometimes teachers get sick, too.
- I will never leave school early without first saying good-bye and telling the kids where I am going and when I will be back.
- The preschool teacher makes a lot of exciting noise when one of her students uses the bathroom because it was the first time that student showed communicative intent. Yes, he is three years old. Yes, most three-year-olds are talking and using the bathroom pretty well. But just like TLK was nervous to talk in front of people in first grade and is now a confident tri-lingual third-grader (after a lot of practice in a safe environment), the preschool kids need a lot of practice to catch up. That's why we get excited; we love watching our kids learn something new.
I had two conversations about gender expression with one of my students this week. We have a small school–84 students in PreK through the Super-Seniors. My students know almost everyone, so when we get a new student, they notice. Usually they follow standard conversational norms: What is your name? Are you deaf? Where do you live? On Tuesday in the library, a new high school student was working on the computer when one of my students walked up and tapped her on the shoulder.
Are you a boy or a girl?
I'm a girl.
Why do you have boy hair?
I like it short.
Why do you have boy clothes?
I intervened. We've spent a lot of time breaking the pinkgirls/blueboys habit (because colors are for everyone). But I also know that kids using all the colors is a far cry from kids breaking free from gender stereotypes and gender roles. My students have a friend in the department who is a non-conformist, as far as gender is concerned. They are used to that. They accept her and love her for who she is. But a new person coming into their world who doesn't fit their idea of "boy" and "girl" proved to be a little jarring. The high school student was pleasant and friendly, and she didn't seem to mind the questions, but it's not her job to educate my students about gender expression. She should not have to defend her choice of clothing, hairstyle, or footwear to anyone. She should just get to be.
So I intervened.
Hey, Elsa. Did you ask her name?
Do you know where she lives? Or how old she is?
What do you think would be a polite way to start a conversation?
It's alright. Why don't you introduce yourself?
(she does)
And hair is hair, kiddo. My hair is really short, but it's not boy hair or girl hair. It's my hair. New Student's hair is her hair. Hair isn't boy or girl. It's just hair.
Oh, ok! I like it!
And clothes are just clothes. This is my favorite sweater, and I got it from the men's department at Kohl's. That doesn't make it boy sweater. I just like how it fits better.
(Elsa looked at me, looked at the new student, nodded, and said) Nice to meet you!
The next morning, the first thing Elsa asked me was Why do girls like boy clothes?? It was clear she'd been thinking about it. I asked her to explain; I wanted to know if her thinking had progressed, or evolved, or otherwise changed. She referred to the high school student, and then asked about her friend in the elementary department. She made the connection between the two. So we sat down and had a little chat, no pressure, no lecture, just a chat: Stores divide clothes into boy and girl sections, but clothes are clothes. I bought this cardigan from the men's department because it's not too tight and it has real pockets and real buttons. Women's cardigans usually don't have pockets, and I like to carry sticky notes and paperclips. But these pants are from the women's department because I have hips. Clothes are clothes and people like what they like.
She seemed content. We'll keep having conversations. I have some revisions to what I might say next time, but it'll ultimately depend on what my kids ask. Because it's not always about what I know, but it's always about what they ask.

So far this year, the FSA has raised nearly £50m in fines from firms and individuals, ranging from a few tens of thousands into several millions of pounds.
Yesterday, US investment bank JP Morgan became the latest target of the FSA when it was hit with the single largest financial penalty ever handed out by the regulator after it admitted it had accidentally put as much as £16bn of client money at risk by placing the cash in the wrong account.
Unlike most taxes and fines in Britain, all the money the FSA raises goes directly into its budget, meaning that while large fines may worry banks they ironically result in them being charged a lower annual levy to pay for their regulator.
To put this in context, the JP Morgan fine alone will cover just over 7pc of the FSA's £458m budget for the next financial year, and is almost exactly equal to the total paid out in fines last year.
The size and number of this year's fines show how the FSA is trying to live up to Mr Sants' claim in March 2009, that people should be "very afraid" of the regulator.
But while the FSA can point to a string of successes this year that have shown its willingness to provide what it describes as "credible deterrence", its future is far from certain.
In just under two weeks, Chancellor George Osborne is expected in his Mansion House speech to announce a scaling back in the FSA's powers.
This is somewhat better than what the FSA might have expected if the Conservatives had won a clear majority in last month's elections, but still leaves a large cloud hanging over an organisation many say proved incapable of handling the financial crisis.
The argument for getting rid of the FSA largely rests on its failure to foresee or prevent the collapse of Northern Rock and contain the fallout to UK banks of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.
Paul Sharma, director of prudential policy at the FSA, argues the regulator learnt from those failures and that its new aggressive approach is about applying the lessons.
"We've dramatically increased our supervision since Northern Rock and a lot of what you see now in the way of enforcement is directly applicable to what we learnt from that situation as well as the aftermath of Lehman Brothers," said Mr Sharma.
The £33.3m fine imposed yesterday on JP Morgan is a case in point. The penalty followed an admission by the US bank that it had accidentally put client money into its own accounts, meaning the cash would not have been ring-fenced if the firm had collapsed.
Just how serious this could have been is highlighted by Lehman Brothers collapse, which led to several thousand of the US investment bank's clients becoming unsecured creditors of the firm.
Worryingly, JP Morgan's misallocation of the money went unnoticed for seven years, leading some to argue that the FSA is still failing in one of its core tasks, that of protecting investor funds.
"This was a fundamental element of what a regulator should have been doing," said Mathew Rutter, a partner at law firm Beachcroft.
"At heart there are only two tasks investors expect of a financial regulator; that is they ensure that institutions are well capitalised; and that their money is protected if a firm fails," said Mr Rutter.
"These fines say more about the regulator and how it allowed fundamental breaches to occur than it does about JP Morgan."
Mr Sharma counters that the discovery of the problem can be traced back directly to a campaign by the regulator to raise awareness of problems surrounding the handling of client funds by banks.
"Our letter writing campaign to compliance officers, our clear indication that this was an area we were looking at got the market to start looking seriously at this issue," said Mr Sharma.
"It is no coincidence that the self-reporting of these issues began around this time."
Several more fines can be expected, according to Margaret Cole, the FSA's director of enforcement and financial crime, who said she had a "pipeline" of cases.
For some this is a case of too little, too late, with calls for the establishment of a new independent market regulator as suggested in Sir David Walker's report on the financial industry.
"While the tripartite approach to supervision was found wanting in the financial crisis, moving the pieces around isn't the answer," says Robin Johnson, a partner at law firm Eversheds.
"While the Bank of England logically should have control/supervision of banks in their purest sense, in reality the banks are now massive financial services monoliths, and the BoE simply hasn't the expertise or resources to regulate.
"What is required, is for the banks to fully finance a self regulator with real powers to fine and exclude."
Mr Sants successor may not face financial woes, but will certainly have a tough job convincing the market that the FSA deserves the money.

The winter light
is naturally beautiful
today so no edits
were needed for photos
I snapped of these little lovelies.
all of them were free or picked up for pennies!
yet they live large in my dining room hutch.
a locket holding a smiling happy couple
I'm reminded today of
one of my sister's
favorite phrases:
Happiness is not having
what you want,
it's wanting what you have.
something sparkly, something holy, something mysterious
The paper cutting
is a memory.
Not an art project
but a sweet accident
created by a son.
antique rosaries
Too precious to hide away.
lovely fleur de lis
flatware probably scored in a 'free' box at a tag sale rest inside an old English crock
we wear them!
another teeny old sterling box
I'm loving photography today
have a lovely week!
all photos mine
Peace to you right where you are.

Stanley Cherry, husband of Anna, father to Matthew and Andrew (and daughter-in-law Emily), and "Papa" to grandsons, Seth and Luke died Thursday, Sept. 20 at the age of 75. Stanley was born in Goodland, Ind. and attended Purdue University.
Stanley and Anna moved to Atascadero in 1973 where he became an integral part of Atascadero's growth. As president of Santa Lucia Bank, he helped many citizens get their start, sometimes with a signature or simply, a handshake.
Stanley was active, not only in business, but also in serving the community with the Rotary Club, the Elks, and more. He proudly served for over 20 years in the Army National Guard. He was also physically active, taking yearly backpacking trips, and attending his grandsons' sporting events regularly.
Many, including business associates, friends, neighbors, but mostly, his family, will feel Stanley's loss. He was the smiling, loving dad/grandpa that always had a positive word. Stanley Cherry will be missed.
A celebration of Stanley's life will be held at the Elk's Lodge in Atascadero on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Woods Humane Society – North County, 2300 Ramona Rd., Atascadero, CA 93422.

There is nothing better than the smell of fresh, warm granola wafting through your kitchen in the morning. This Honey Almond & Ginger Granola recipe has the most amazing scent and adds a wonderful spice to your breakfast all week. It's gluten-free, plant-based, and refined sugar-free, and absolutely delicious. It's the perfect recipe for that last perfect stretch of summer where the flowers are out, the bees are humming, and the days are still long.
I made this recipe on a whim one Saturday morning and absolutely fell in love. It's so simple and delicious and is wonderfully nourishing. This went amazingly over everything from acai smoothies to overnight oats and chia puddings and even goes great as a snack.
Using fresh ginger instead of powdered ginger adds so much rich flavor, it's almost unreal. Taking those extra few minutes to grate your ginger is a mindful step that you can take to add something wonderful to your meal. Ginger is wonderful for aiding digestion, settling your stomach, and boosting your immune system. It really does make this granola refreshing in a way that no other recipe I've tried has.
Almonds and honey go so beautifully together – they're simple, alkaline ways to add more protein and richness to the granola.
Serves 8
Total Time: 40 Minutes
Dry ingredients:
1 ½ cups oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup roughly chopped almonds
½ cup raisins
2 tablespoon chia seeds
A dash of salt
Wet ingredients:
1 ½ tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
¼ cup honey
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 250*F
Start by mixing all your dry ingredients together and set aside. Next, start on the wet ingredients, beginning with the ginger. Grab a roughly 1 inch piece of ginger, peel, and grate until you have roughly 1 1 ½ tablespoons of grated ginger, and set aside in a bowl, next, add the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir, then pour over the dry ingredients and mix all together.
Place a large piece of parchment paper on the baking sheet and spread the granola mixture evenly on top. Bake for 40 minutes, then let cool and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Their new album
I Got A Boy
Okay, got to watch their comeback show

Sailing Through the 4th
My friends and I thought it would be great to spend the 4th of July sailing in San Francisco and watch the fireworks from the boat. It all sounded so romantic and fun, but alas, we all found out I don't have sea legs so I spent the day dizzy and extremely nauseous. Has this ever happened to you?? It's pretty awful and I don't think I'll be sailing again any time soon, ha. I guess what I want to say is thank God for good friends. They managed to still have a good time despite constantly checking in on me, bringing me water, avoiding the high current as much as possible and helping me in ways I don't even want to get into...I'll spare you the details ;) Annnnywayyyy...I snapped a few photos when the day started (you know, before my world got fuzzy) so I thought I would share. I'm also excited to share a fresh new look here very soon so stay with me, k? Here's to good friends and a better 4th next year.

Scope and Contents of the Records
The records of Steven Kern primarily contain correspondence, memoranda, and research materials about painters and paintings represented in the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's collection. The majority of the files contain photocopied articles about particular artists and rough drafts of related exhibition catalogues and labels. There are also several files of loan requests from other museums with accompanying conservation appraisals and exhibition histories of the works in question. Some files contain general curatorial correspondence and departmental budgeting.
History of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
In 1950 Sterling and Francine Clark chartered the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute as a home for their extensive art collection. Opened to public in 1955, the Institute has built upon this extraordinary group of works to become one of the most beloved and respected art museums in the world, known for its intimate galleries and stunning natural environment. One of the few institutions in the United States that combines a public art museum with a complement of research and academic programs, including a major art history library, the Clark is now a leading international center for research and discussion on the nature of art and art history. Building upon the founders' legacy, the Institute has recently unveiled its master plan for the twenty-first century, which fosters the Clark's commitment to providing space for its expanding research and museum programs while maintaining the unique character of its beautiful rural setting.

February 13, Seneca FFA members spent many hours designing and arranging Valentine's Day flower bouquets to raise money for the American Heart Association. Member Hannah Whiteaker, Alexis Snyder, Olivia Payne, Haylie Smith and many others have floral design experience from past Horticulture classes taken through their Agriculture department. These members and many others pitched in to create nearly 100 flower arrangements selling them to their classmates and Seneca staff for $5.00; almost doubling the price of their flower design materials and supporting a heart related cause for Valentine's Day.

Database & API licensing
"Great - pragmatic when it needs to be, and its responsiveness is excellent." "From a client's perspective, it is very proactive."
Databases are a core asset in your business. They may reside on your own secure servers behind a firewall or you may have them hosted in the cloud.
Their content may be a primary revenue source or they may be a repository of customer and other data as a by-product of your main business, but which nonetheless have significant value for data analytics purposes.
If you are in the online content business, you may also be exploring new ways to generate additional revenue from your database content through 21st century syndication techniques to license your content on a 'machine to machine' basis. For that, you'll be using API licensing to enable developers to access and use your content in their products and services under the terms of your API licences. You may also be looking to combine 'open data' with proprietary data.
Whatever their content and the technical infrastructure around your databases, you will want to have a clear strategy for the protection and exploitation of your databases and clear policies to ensure that your data collection and handling processes are legally compliant.
For this, you will need advisers who can provide strategic insight to develop new revenue streams from databases, with the commercial acumen to negotiate the right deals with partners.
You will also want lawyers who have deep experience of intellectual property rights for databases, including the specific legal protection for databases, and who understand the technical infrastructure of databases.
The publishing and digital media team at Shoosmiths has extensive experience in advising on database exploitation and API licensing.
They are led by Laurence Kaye, who represented UK publishers on the negotiation of the Directive for the Legal Protection of Databases and on its implementation into UK law.
Previous work highlights
- Advising a leading database company on strategically-based legal advice on the exploitation of their databases
- Laurence Kaye led cross-industry group advising UK Government on implementation of the Database Directive into UK law
- Devising database licensing strategies for a number of leading publishers
- Advising on API licences for publishers
- Working with leading information publisher on strategic and day to day contracts and advice on a variety of licensing issues

It's been said before and not just by me, and I won't be the last person to say it; "I'm an SCC fanatic."
In my opinion, there has been no better magazine for the niche. It's a damn shame Primedia let it go but the heart of SCC aren't the type of guys to let the man get them down. From SCC's ashes rose Moto IQ, which has the same great writing, project cars, industry insight, and racing coverage many of us became accustomed to before the e-take-over.
With an online publication brings the wonderful possibility for a discussion medium that we've all probably used or do use, the online forum. So, when I was unhappy with the narrow-minded suspension discussions and answers on the US' premier resource for everything Corolla (Club4ag.com) I turned to Moto IQ's forum. It was there someone reminded me of SCC's old Project Corolla that Modified Magazine did a wonderful service of preserving.
Here are the links to SCC's old Project Corolla.
The internet isn't so bad...

"The Honolulu Rail Transit Project is one of the most significant infrastructure projects in City history and will provide jobs and a boost to the state's economy," Hannemann said. "We have achieved several milestones recently, such as entering Preliminary Engineering and awarding the first construction contract.
"Rail transit is becoming a reality, and many more activities will occur soon. My administration is committed to keep the public informed about the Project's progress, and now is an excellent time to let the public know what to expect in the coming months."
Hannemann's address will be given from 1:30-2 pm tomorrow (10/29) at Mission Memorial Auditorium on the Civic Center campus. It will be televised from 6:30 to 7 pm on KGMB-9 and KHNL-8; a rebroadcast is scheduled for 9:30 pm Friday on KFVE-5.

Poem and a Translation
Brand us exiles, emigrants if you like.
It may make your life easier, may buttress
You, shield you, maybe even help hike
Your spirits up, help you feel superior to us.
You will need it as you traverse streets
That you brag you can walk blindfold on.
But where's that shop, that bar? No one greets
You any more; so many are dead, or, like us, gone.
Perhaps we were shrewder, wiser, more cunning.
Perhaps not. What's certain is that more
And more your city is abandoning you, forgetting
You, as if the city itself is crossing to another shore,
Leaving you nothing and no one, an immigrant
In your own place, the oblivious emigrant.
... It is a meaningful vision I had last night. If you give me a break I'll go on. Manchin, the king's right hand man, said "No way", but the incorrigible poet continued with what the angel made manifest to him anyway:
What a mind-blowing, mouth-watering trip,
what a feast for the eyes, what a vision
I had, let me tell you.
A boat of solid suet
was moored in a creamy cove
above the world's calm ocean.
We boarded that cog, charged out
to sea on the choppy surface,
pulling hard on the oars
across the milky plains,
leaving a wake of seaweed,
a spume of honey-colored sand.
We reached a fabulous fort
with ramparts of thick custard
on the other side of the water.
A drawbridge made of fresh butter,
the embankment of harvest wheat,
the palisades of juicy rashers.
The whole structure was spot on,
rising mighty there.
I entered under
the stringy drapes of dry meat,
over a threshold of croutons.
Its wall was made of cottage cheese.
Its pillars of moldy blue
were set in boiled crubeens
—trotters trotting one after the other.
Joists of thick curd,
rafters of frozen yogurt
supported the whole show.
There was a well of wine at the back
and a stream of mead and mulled ale.
No tastier watering hole.
There were hops for brewing stout.
On top of all that was a spring of malt
brimming from the floor.
A pool of colcannon
under a thick batter
lay between that and the ocean.
It was bordered by wedges of butter
glazed with lard
on the outer wall.
Rows of aromatic apple trees,
a rosy orchard in full bloom,
flourished between it and the hill.
A garden of veggies—leeks,
cabbages, carrots, and onions—
grew at the back as well.
It was a warm, bright household
full of foxy, well-fed men
lounging around the hearth.
Seven torcs and collars
of cheese, tripe and drisheen
adorned each man's neck.
The lord of the manor,
dressed in a corn-beef cloak,
stood next to his elegant wife.
The head chef was there also
at the sizzling spit,
a huge fork strapped to his back.
The good king would appreciate
a bard reciting at the dinner table,
an enjoyable performance,
a real treat
to hear that lay of the boat
voyaging Milky Sea.
Manchin wised up as it dawned on him that the reciting of such a corker, psychedelic vision would coax the demon of gluttony from the king's swollen belly and save their world....

The Platters Biography
One of the leading R&B vocal groups of the 50s, they were the first black group to be accepted as a major chart act and, for a short time, were the most successful vocal group in the world. The Platters were formed in Los Angeles in 1953 by entrepreneur/songwriter Buck Ram (21 November 1907, Chicago, Illinois, USA, d. 1 January 1991). Through his ownership of the Platters name, Ram was able to control the group throughout their career, and his talent for composing and arranging enabled the Platters to make a lasting impression upon popular music. Their original line-up, Tony Williams (b. 5 April 1928, Elizabeth, New Jersey, USA, d. 14 August 1992, New York, USA; lead tenor), David Lynch (b. 1929, St. Louis, Missouri, USA, d. 2 January 1981; tenor), Alex Hodge (baritone) and Herb Reed (b. 1931, Kansas City, Missouri, USA; bass), recorded unsuccessfully in 1954, precipitating the arrival of two new members, Paul Robi (b. 1931, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, d. 2 January 1989), who replaced Hodge, and Zola Taylor (b. 18 March 1934, Los Angeles, California, USA, d. 30 April 2007, Riverside, California, USA; contralto). Signed to Mercury Records, the Platters secured their first hit in 1955 when Only You reached the US Top 5, an effortlessly light performance that set the pattern for subsequent releases, including The Great Pretender, My Prayer and Twilight Time, each of which reached number 1 in the US charts. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (previously a hit for Paul Whiteman in 1934), which was an international number 1 hit single in 1958-59, highlighted their smooth delivery and arguably remains the groups best-loved release.
Lead singer Williams left for a solo career in 1961, taking with him much of the Platters distinctive style. His departure led to further changes, with Sandra Dawn and Nate Nelson replacing Taylor and Robi. With Sonny Turner as the featured voice, the group began embracing a more contemporary direction, evidenced in such occasional pop hits as I Love You 1000 Times (1966) and With This Ring (1967). During the late 60s, and for a long time afterwards, personnel changes brought much confusion as to who were the legitimate Platters. Sonny Turner and Herb Reed formed their own version, while Tony Williams did likewise. The Platters legacy has since been undermined by the myriad of line-ups performing under that name, some of which had no tangible links to the actual group. This should not detract from those seminal recordings that bridged the gap between the harmonies of the Mills Brothers and the Ink Spots and the sweet soul of the ensuing decade. In the late 80s, Buck Ram continued to keep an eagle eye on the Platters sold-out appearances at Las Vegas and other US cities. They were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990, but Ram died the following year.

Well, this is definitely one of the less appealing stops on my mission to eat my way through Whitehorse.
I happened to be at the thrift store next door looking for a lid for a pot. I failed in this task, but figured I should check something else off my list and visit Tags.
The reason I've included it on the list rather than every other gas station is the large assortment of prepared (or just fried) foods available.
I was surprised to find that it also has slurpees/slushies/squishies… slush beverages.
Up until now, I thought my choices were Integra Tire or Riverside Grocery.
Now there are three on my list for next summer – or for a -15 day, like this day I grabbed one.
I also got a corndog. It was edible, I did not get sick afterwards and it only cost $1.50.
But I didn't even take a photo of it.
Likelihood of return visit: If I happen to be getting gas and want a slurpee, so fairly low but not a no.
Recommended dish: Stick to the slush machine

It was an early Christmas present. The Greater New Hope Christian Association soup kitchen.
It was rainy, dull day when it officially opened on Dec. 15. But the dreary day did little to dampen the spirits of the soup kitchen's champions – those who had the vision and those who helped make it become a reality.

5 Things that Chick Flicks Lie About:
5. People going their late twenties and thirties do NOT remain friends with their childhood friends.
That seems to be a common practice in chick flicks: to remain best friends with girls you've known from your childhood that you can still gossip with and trust. Honestly, in the real world that doesn't happen. People grow up and forget about each other for the sake of new friends and boyfriends. suck it up, girls. it happens.
4. People who have white collar jobs are NOT friends with their co-workers and office assistants.
Honestly, who are they trying to fool? No matter what, people do NOT want to take their jobs home, even if they have caring friends at work. The only thing people care about is themselves, especially in a work oriented environment. Climb the corporate ladder and watch out for the bodies falling off the rungs.
3. Women in chick flicks that sleep around HAVE STD'S.
I hate to break it to you, but it's impossible not to have contracted something from bar-hopping and bed-banging. Those movies attempt to depict happy sex jaunts and one night stands, but the truth is that these women have nothing left to offer of themselves when they finally meet the man of their dreams. They have a wedding and a honeymoon, and then what? Do they get to finally explore their sexuality in the context of marriage? No, because they already gave up half the fun-mystery. The mystery of exploration in a marriage bed is saved for exactly that-marriage, and these women are lying to themselves and everyone else if they think sleeping around brings eternal bliss one day.
2. In the real world, all women do not have perfect bodies.
Let's face it ladies. When we watch chick flicks, we compare our own bodies and mindsets to the ones we see on the big screen. Why, then, do we catch ourselves coming up short time and again when we seem to have let "the big fish" get away? Because in the movies we have just finished watching, the perfect women gets the guy! uh... hello. That simply means that only perfect women are able to screw up and still come out on top. Pun intended.
1. You cannot bake a cake, write a news article, or buy a gift to achieve a happy ending.
The movie industry has fooled women into thinking they can buy a happy ending. So many times our heroine has screwed up but fallen in love, thinking their lover can forget the past if only they...write a news article about them? Buy them a car? Rebuild a childhood doll house? come on now. This is reality! In reality, if you screw up AND are ugly?! There is no hope for you. MAYBE if you happen to have ALL of the above four things right as well- perfect body, sleep around w/out STDs, office friends, and remaining friends from your childhood, you can leave a baked cake in the shape of a carrot, hoping your true love will EAT his way into eternal bliss. After all, movies teach us that the way to a man's heart is through his... stomach...right.

text: Boingo's WiFi plans may come in handy for frequent travelers, but they haven't exactly been the most straightforward -- especially if you're using multiple devices. The company's gone some way towards simplifying things today, however, announcing that it's revised its unlimited WiFi data plans so that you can now use any two WiFi-enabled devices (as opposed to just two laptops) as part of the basic plan, and up to five more for an additional five bucks apiece. Unfortunately, none of those changes extend to the company's recent partnership with GoGo for in-flight internet access, which you still have to cough up the full price for.
