Oh no, that perfectly describes religious types, they do evil and dont care, they hurt others without any remorse and they dont think the law or any morality or decency of this country of justice, equality and freedom apply to them, or to their efforts to trample on the happiness of others different from themselves.
It fits them perfectly

I would take it even further than that. Marriage is a transformative process that turns a man and woman into each other's legally wedded, respective wife, or husband. It has deep seated historic, cultural, legal and religious roots. In fact the sexual union, of husband and wife, can, and often does, result in conception.
hus if the couple
That is a definition, that requires the qualification of male to female and vice versa.

#183338 Mar 14, 2013
Not correct at all, you are dead wrong on cultural and legal roots, you best not mention religion as that has never been a legal requirement for a marriage, you can get married by a justice of the peace, I have been to many weddings with no mention of any of the thousands of human religions at all.
I know many gay couples, many of the legally married in California before Prop 8.
You are wrong in just about every aspect.

Trees can't do things like that, idiot. Are you so dumb because your brain is made out of tissues with two different sets of tissues that don't communicate?
Stupid! The ability to bear apples is part of the definition of an apple tree, in fact, it's pretty much the definition. The ability to have children is NOT part of the indention of marriage.
If our rights depend on our genes, should you be allowed to marry?
You already have both sets!
Speaking of evolution, do you think you should have been aborted?
And stupid, allowing gay marriage will not remove the element of procreation, people will still procreate.

The government could even wait until the couple produces a child. People who feel it's wrong to have sex before marriage could have a religious ceremony before having sex.
You won't get an answer. Well, maybe that stupid apple/walnut tree analogy.

In what way are same sex couples trampling the happiness of others? Unless...these others happiness is derived from denying happiness to other people?
It doesnt matter which way you look at it does it?
One side is trying to deny happiness to others, while the other side is just trying to find their own happiness with no effect on anyone else.
There are 18,000 legally married same sex couples in California right now, didnt hurt me, or my marriage to my wife in any way at all, no one has ever explained what harm it has done to anyone, not to me, and certainly not in court.

Procreation is a benefit of marriage, that's why government privileges marriage. Procreation isn't a requirement for marriage anymore than requiring people to eat only what they shoot would be a requirement for a hunting license.

Texas Senator files bill to legalize civil unions
Same sex couples would have access to many of the benefits and legal protections afforded to heterosexual married couples if a bill and several resolutions filed in the Texas Legislature gain approval.
The bill, filed by state Sen. Juan Hinojosa, D-McAllen, would partially repeal the Texas Defense of Marriage Act of 2003, which prevents Texas from recognizing same sex unions.
In a statement, Hinojosa cited a 2012 public opinion poll conducted by UT and The Texas Tribune showing that a majority of Texas voters favored some legal recognition of same-sex couples.
"Texans are now realizing the importance of providing same-gender couples the same protections that married couples receive," Hinojosa said.
The bill would provide same sex couples certain legal protections including property rights, adoption rights and worker compensation benefits.
One of the three constitutional amendments proposed last week by state Sen. Jose Rodriguez, D-El Paso, state Rep. Rafael Anchia, D-Dallas, or state Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, must pass in both the House and the Senate by a two-thirds majority vote and then approved by Texas voters in order for Hinojosas bill to take effect in 2014.
The proposed constitutional amendment would repeal the 2005 Texas Marriage Amendment to the Texas Constitution, which defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman and prohibits recognition of civil unions.
Chuck Smith, executive director of Equality Texas, an organization that lobbies for gay and transgender rights, said in a statement that Hinojosas legislation is the first step on a path toward recognizing rights for same-sex couples in Texas.
"We believe that every Texas family should be able to take care of those they love," Smith said.

Oh maybe the government could say, "marriage is the union of husband and wife". That's it. Simple right? It covers it all. Men, women, sex, consummation, procreation, conception, presumption of paternity, etc. Both sexes involved.

I support civil unions, that is the perfect compromise to keep marriage male/female. If the Constituion prohibits calling same sex unions "civil unions", why not call it domestic partnerships and leave out the rights that require taxpayers provide benefits for same sex partners?
Same sex marriage means more wasteful government spending on entitlements for same sex dependent beneficiaries. If you want to cut spending and keep government from intruding into marriage, keep marriage as is, one man and one woman.

There are over 1,000 rights that legally married couples enjoy that are NOT afforded to civil unions!What you're saying therefore is that gays are not good enough to have a fully legal marriage like there is now in 10 states by the way!

And it's not a benefit of marriage. You don't have to be married to procreate.

LOL! Just admit you are a bigot!
Why do you homophobes talk about "taxpayers" as if gay people don't pay taxes?
And government intruding into marriage? Too late, stupid!

"Why what?"
"Why did you help me..back in the club?"
The assasin's eyes watched her a brief moment, before travelling in the other direction. Mi-Jung rubbed her arm in embarassment, feeling like a schoolgirl. She had never noticed how handsome he was..
Mi-Jung smiled to herself. Nowadays, things were still incredibly tense, but the couple still found time for each other. In all honesty, she wasn't sure if they could be considered a couple. They kissed, they hugged, they were all over each other at any hour of the day, but not once had she or he say 'I love you'.
He laid beside her, strong arms wrapped loosely around her thinner shoulders. Mi-Jung's smile grew. He could never be so relaxed anywhere else; always worried about who he had to kill, or who was going to kill him. Always on guard, never a day to lay back and watch the world roll by. He breathed evenly, and Mi-Jung knew that she was happiest when his tanned, muscular arms slowly pulled themselves around her.
Gently, she kissed his nose. He hardly made a movement. "I.. I know I don't say this often.." Mi-Jung whispered, "But I love you, Vick."
Suddenly, he shot up, the sheets falling from his body and pooling in his lap. His face remained emotionless, though his eyes shone, "...Where is that coming from?"
"Eh?" She, too, sat up, only she held the sheets to her bare chest. She looked shocked, "What do you mean? I.. I love you!"
"You...have never said it before."
"I am hoping to change that." Mi-Jung avoided his eyes. They were always so warm, so dark and alluring, but more suffocating than anything. They intensly gazed at her round face, her tousled hair and pouting pink lips. A smirk threatened to peel its way onto Vick's mouth. He scooted a little closer to her, their thighs touching. He watched her visibly stiffen.
"If I.." Vick started, snaking his arms around her tiny waist. He whispered in her ear, "Say it to you, will you do something for me?"
"You jerk.." Mi-Jung murmured, her smaller hands slowly touching his chest. "If I said it first, then you have to say it..it's an equal exchange."
"I don't think so." Purred Vick, "I think that you are just frightened..remember, you and I have done crazier things before."
She scoffed lightly, though her body continued to become rigid, especially when his teeth grazed along her neck. "I'll say it, so you won't whine about it later. I," He smirked and placed a red hickey onto her skin, "Love you."

Ferguson & Melvin Co. was founded in 1979 as a family-owned business serving the greater Los Angeles area. At that time, we focused primarily on small residential roofing projects for local homeowners. We started with one truck and two installers, working out of a small garage.
Since that time, we have grown to over 25 employees and currently operate out of a 15,000 ft2 company-owned facility. We still offer comprehensive residential roofing services but we are also a full-service commercial roofing contractor, working with building owners, HOA's, management companies, general contractors, and municipalities. And our roofing business has expanded to sheet metal and solar, as well.
We are centrally located in the San Fernando area and serve much of Southern California, focusing on Los Angeles, with completed projects in Orange and Ventura counties, as well.
Many of our roofers have been with our company for more than 15 years and in the roofing industry for decades. This allows us to stay on the leading edge of roofing technology, as it advances, and at the same time it increases job quality and substantially reduces call-backs. Our vast knowledge and experience allows us the ability to assess every job, large or small, with a unique perspective – there are very few problems we haven't seen before.
Because we are one of the most experienced roofing contractors in Los Angeles, you can be sure that when we tell you something, you can count on it. Our long track record of success has only been possible because of our commitment to the customer relationships that we have built with our clients over the years. It is this commitment and our desire for excellence that forms the foundation of everything we do.
When you work with Ferguson & Melvin Co., our team will hold your hand and walk you through the process of evaluating your current roofing situation and making an educated decision on what is best for you. It is important to us that every roof we install comes with confidence and the comfort that peace of mind can bring. Mr. Melvin, our company owner, believes that REAL success comes from giving REAL value. And this is the way we approach every project.
We can only be successful if we treat our customers like partners – and that's what we do. From start to finish, we are in it together. And we vow to only hire the best people to work with you. We never forget that doing the right thing isn't always the easy way, but it's the ONLY way. Let us partner with you for all of your roofing needs – we've got you covered!

It also features and promotes family values, God's teachings, and others concerning the country, the home, and the environment.

2. Bookstore
It doesn't matter if its Fully Booked, National Bookstore, or Powerbooks. As long as you find the book or paper products you want, then problem solved. But what if you're on a tight budget or the book isn't available? No worries because there are other bookstores you can visit.
Try Bookay-Ukay located at #78 Maginhawa st. Teachers Village East, Diliman, Quezon City. They are open daily from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm visit www.facebook.com/bookayukay. I always visit Bookay-Ukay back in college. When I started working, I was only able to visit them once but I brought a friend along. She was really happy and overwhelmed by the amount and selection of books.
Besides Bookay-Ukay, you can also visit Booksale.com.ph. They have various branches in different malls nationwide. They have an abundance of book, so just dig in and find the suitable one.
3. Belle de Jour
Are you familiar with the Belle de Jour Power Planner? If not, well, the Belle de Jour Power Planner is the best planner for women. However, Belle de Jour is more than just a planner, it is a community. They inspire, empower, and teach their bellas to live life to the fullest.

5. The Perfect White Shirt

This is Apple's history of music
Today Apple presented Apple Music, a streaming music ecosystem made to turn the tides on other top-name players in the space. Apple's power comes not from a good product in and of itself, but from its ecosystem of success. If you have one Apple device, you know. You're made to feel that you're part of a family, and that every product Apple makes that you use, you're more a part of that family. You're made to FEEL good. Apple knows this. Because of this, Apple made their case with a history lesson.

When we look back at the history of the brand, we have found a trend that is that it always introduces the younger generation's favorite product, not the established look, but the trend and fashion that young people bring. We reviewed the 2005 experience and found that the brand did not achieve idol status, so we set our own goal is to let the brand rebuild the legend. ray ban pink lenses,Ten years ago today, I saw this phrase at the first briefing: Never Hide never hidden, this is the core slogan of our branding. Over the past decade, the brand has grown from the initial obscurity to one of the "favorite brands" of luxury glasses retailers. At the same time, revenue tripled, the company also established a social media eco-system, access to more than one billion attention. Today I want to share the theme of "Let Light to Reproduce – My Brand Communication Recipes". The title is inspired by the artist, Walter De Maria, in the New Mexico landscape art "The Lightning Field" (The Lightning Field). I believe that as long as there is a correct vision, the right tools, and know how to use a variety of resources around you, you can re-create the same natural phenomenon of lightning. I did not like Joe as the "three tips" to take home, I just want to talk about our experience from the past summed up the core experience. For me, the most important thing in a successful organization is the outstanding leader. Since Raymond Glass is an Italian company headquartered in Milan, my leaders are acting in Italian style rather than American style. They have been my leadership for ten years, and I think their empathy lies not only in highlighting individual abilities but also in other respects. First of all, they have a pious pursuit of the process. Give the recipe to any chef, as long as the request, he may be able to make decent dishes. But if you want to have a legendary first-class restaurant, you need to operate in the highly skilled professional managers. Similarly, in the marketing, the leaders are not only those skilled in the application of 4P and other framework of the marketing staff, but the formation of a different team of specialists, these experts (including me) to ensure that the brand positioning And value transfer is accurate. Second, the leaders gave us a clear vision. They know that these are ambitious, long-term goals, so not too tangled in the middle of our step by step, they give this freedom so that we can let go, do not worry about failure. So that we can correct the direction, without worrying about the current initiatives will affect the next three or five steps, leading to can not reach the desired goal.

In theory, the ordinary naked eye three-color vision, to generate blue, green and red wavelengths are three cones. However, the inadequacy of the naked eye is the presence of metamerism color, that colors look the same in spite of, but is actually made up of different spectral composition. In order to break through the "inherent redundancy" of the human eye, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a device that uses two different transmittance lenses for left and right eyes, effectively triggering a four-color vision by separating short-wave cone response , that is, there are four different types of cells in the eye cone. After wearing glasses, the wearer can distinguish the difference between the metamerism of color, allowing the wearer to see the new color after the naked eye can not see. ray ban sunglasses dillards,Physicist Mikhail Kats told New Scientist: "The naked eye looks exactly the same color, and when you wear your glasses you will find that the two are completely different colors. In nature, there is a more complex visual system like goldfish Of the creature, born with the ability to deal with the extra wavelength in the wear of this glasses, but also gives the human can be comparable to the visual ability of these creatures. This design does not have a significant negative impact on the human body, to help people distinguish between the various blue Color, violet and purple, and we think that additional spectral information can be understood as creating a new set of "primitives" that can be used without the help of a filter to identify the color. This scientific discovery theory Can be divided into a cone or cone combination, in the future to form a maximum of six cone-like vision system.The system allows people based on the launch, reflection, projection spectrum to find the difference between objects, so far not yet found to have any adverse effect on the human body. Finally, the research team said the discovery could very Enhance the ability of human vision, so that human beings have a more accurate way to camouflage detection, and in the arts and data visualization aspects derived more powerful means of security.

Finding Flaws on the GlassesLooking for Proper PackagingJudging the SellerCommunity Q it comes to a pair of shades, nothing beats the old school cool of Ray Bans. Whether you're aiming for the classic Wayfarer look, the Dirty Harry sheen of a pair of aviators, or the refined elegance of a pair of Clubmasters, there is no settling for anything but the best. Don't let yourself get robbed be a smart consumer. Know how to tell the difference between the real deal and cheap imitations so you can wear your Ray Bans with confidence.Look and feel for seams on the plastic. All genuine Ray Ban products are crafted from high quality materials using the finest manufacturing processes. Notably, the plastic body of Ray Ban sunglasses are cut from a single piece of acetate and are hand polished. Because of this, you shouldn't be able to detect any nicks, rough spots,mens ray bans sunglasses uk, or especially seams on your glasses. These are after products from cheap manufacturing processes and are dead giveaways that a pair of "Ray Bans" aren't what they are being billed as.[1]Seams can be anywhere on a fake pair of Ray Bans, but they're especially likely to be on the places where the mold used to create the plastic closed namely, the upper edges of the glasses above the lenses and the tops of the "arms" that rest on your ears.Feel for an inappropriately light weight. Take your Ray Bans in your hands. Turn them over a few times. They shouldn't feel unusually light, thin, or fragile. If your glasses seem like they may not be heavy enough to keep a few pieces of loose paper from blowing away, there's a good chance they're not real.
Real Ray Bans have metal support struts inside the "arms" that sit on your ears that are responsible for much of their weight. If you have a model with transparent arms (like, for instance, the Clubmaster Squares)[2], you should be able to see this metal. If you can't, you'll know you've been wearing fakes.
Check for non glass lenses. Take your glasses off and look at them from the front. give the lenses a few gentle flicks with your fingernail. If they have the look, feel, and "clinking" sound of genuine glass, this is a good sign many Ray Bans use real glass for their lenses. Non glass lenses don't necessarily mean that your glasses are fake, however, unless they're obviously cheap looking, cloudy, or poor quality.f your lenses don't feel like glass, don't panic some models of Ray Bans have non glass lenses but are still made from the highest quality materials.[3] To be clear, perfectly clear, glass lenses are a sign that your glasses are probably real, but non glass lenses don't necessarily mean they aren't.Look for low quality metal hinges. Open the glasses and look at them from the back. The hinges in the corners of the glasses should be of good quality metal construction. They should be cleanly bolted to the glasses, not glued on or held in place with cheap plastic as noted above, these are signs of cheap, rushed manufacturing processes.Many but not all Ray Bans have a distinctive metal hinge that contains seven interlocking metal "teeth".[4] Seeing this is a good sign, but its absence shouldn't be cause for concern, as other types of high quality metal hinges are sometimes used (for instance, for Ray Ban's Aviators and Clubmasters).Look for low quality engravings in the corners of the glasses. Look at your glasses from the front. If you're wearing most models of Wayfarers of Clubmasters, you should see small, silver, horizontal diamond or oval shaped marks in the corners of the eyes. These should be sharp, shiny, and well made. You shouldn't be able to scratch any of the shiny material off and they shouldn't seem like they can be easily removed. If the engravings don't look very well made, there's a good chance that the glasses aren't, either.Look for a poor "RB" etching on one of the lenses. Most models of Ray Ban glasses will have a small, almost imperceptible "RB" etched in the trademark Ray Ban font on one of the lenses. This will be small and near the edge of the lens, but it may be easier to see if you shine a light at the glasses from an angle. If your glasses are fakes, you may not be able to see this at all or it may appear smudged or sloppily etched.

In a statement like the one above, is there a threat/leak or does it only truncate the string that is loaded into buffer1?Code:char buffer1[10]; char buffer2[10] = "something"; sprintf(buffer1, "with %s", buffer2);
In a statement like the one above, is there a threat/leak or does it only truncate the string that is loaded into buffer1?Code:char buffer1[10]; char buffer2[10] = "something"; sprintf(buffer1, "with %s", buffer2);
You have a buffer overflow. You could avoid it by specifying the width, e.g., "with %4s"
Look up a C++ Reference and learn How To Ask Questions The Smart WayOriginally Posted by Bjarne Stroustrup (2000-10-14)
Yes but the compiler does not complain about it. I don't care if the string is truncated, will it cause any problem?
Buffer overflows yield what the C standard calls "undefined behavior". If code is otherwise correct (syntactically, etc) compilers are not required to complain about code that exhibits undefined behaviour.
Truncating the string is a way to avoid the problem of buffer overflow (assuming you truncate it sufficiently, of course).
The total number of characters written to buffer1, in your example, needs to be 10 or less (and that includes the terminating char with value zero that sprintf() always appends to the end). That means, at most, you can only write 4 characters from buffer2 (which is the reason for the 4 in %4s suggested by laserlight). Write 5 or more characters, and your code has a buffer overrun.

You can also use snprintf in this situation. If there is not room the string will be truncated. Also, you can make use of the return value of snprintf to see if you "ran out" of space in your 10-byte buffer. Alternatively you can use this to decide how big a dynamically-allocated buffer should be for an arbitrary format string and parameters.
snprintf(3): formatted output conversion - Linux man pageThe functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() do not write more than size bytes (including the terminating null byte ('\0')). If the output was truncated due to this limit then the return value is the number of characters (excluding the terminating null byte) which would have been written to the final string if enough space had been available.
If you accidentally overrun buffer1 inbetween the asserts, technically the behavior is undefined, but with the second assert you have a good chance to catch the problem, since overrunning the buffer will also typically overwrite the final '\0' character.Code:char buffer1[N]; char buffer2[N] = "something"; assert(memset(buffer1, '\0', N)); /* ... */ /* write to buffer1 */ /* ... */ assert(buffer1[N-1] == '\0');

"What Frank presented is very likely the best/most novel approach to employee engagement I have ever seen."
David Manning, HR Manager, McKee Foods
Franks dedication to helping me realize my better self and understanding that autonomy is key to a successful leadership team, was eminent from the first meeting. He is a man of character and wisdom. His ability to relate and come to a level of personal understanding is exceptional and I would highly recommend Dr. Niles to anyone who is ready to embrace the opportunity to become their better self.
Rob Coleman, COO, ERC Companies
"Your talk caused us to rethink how we approach customer service. Now I give every customer the STAR treatment no matter how I feel (thanks for your really practical suggestions on how to do this) and remembering to FLIP my perspective - see things from their side rather than mine. Your presentation was just what we needed you have a good way of making this program feel like it will work; can't wait to hear you speak again!"
Janice Ellington, Gates Corporation
Frank Niles' message makes a difference.
Frank speaks to audiences throughout the United States and around the world. From small leadership groups to large conventions and international events, Frank uses the latest research and his own personal story to inspire and equip people to create positive change in their lives and organzations.
And it's working.
Frank also coaches people to greater levels of performance and personal success. Over the past two decades, he has helped thousands of people boost their enthusiasm and producitivty at work and home.
But don't take our word for it. Listen to what people are saying. Here's a sample:
"Frank is unmatched in his ability to connect with an audience. He is truly unique in his ability to crystalize ideas in ways that enable listeners to unlock their potential. Frank's powerful messages ignites change and leaves a lasting impact. "
Austin Benedict, Grubb & Ellis|Solomon Partners
"The contribution of your time and expertise helped to make both of our events a real success. You did a great job connecting with the audience and keeping them engaged. You have helped my company and me gain the knowledge needed to get that edge over our competitors. "
Lori Bessler, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
"Franks presentations motivate one to reexamine ones approach to life. He offers concrete exercises designed to recognize imbalance in life, and more importantly to introduce healthy work-life balance. His speaking style is extremely effective - passionate and entertaining, yet concise and comprehensive. I highly recommend Dr. Niles for your next event - he will be a hit, and hearing his message may just change your life."
Callie Marie Rennison, Ph.D., University of Colorado - Denver.
"Thank you so much for your presentation. Not only did you give us valuable information on how to engage our employees, it also gave me a great deal of insight on how employees "connect" or "disconnect" with their job. I particularly appreciated your enthusiasm during the 2 hour seminar, and never once was I looking at the clock wondering when it would be over. You are passionate about the information you conveyed. Can't wait to hear you again. A million thanks!!"
Christina Drake, Coldwell Banker Real Estate
"Dr. Niles' presentation,
Winning the Talent War
was incredibly practical. Maintaining talented and valuable employees is a must in business. Dr. Niles' use of real life illustrations and current market statistics brought this subject to life. His energetic style of delivery kept my attention. The subject of the "top 5 reasons employees leave" was very useful to me and I'm sure everyone in attendance. Engaging employees in the business is very important if I want to reduce the "turnover factor". I would recommend this talk and Dr. Niles to any business owner or HR professional."
S. Keith Moore, Farmers Insurence Company
"Frank Niles' message is fresh and compelling; he provides unique insight and understanding. After each talk, attendees commented on how much they have learned and how they now look at work and life in a new way. Frank is a captivating speaker. He possesses a special gift and it's clear that he is passionate about helping people succeed."
Kristina Williams, University of Arkansas
You] possesses the rare ability to communicate complex information in understandable and applicable ways. Because of your deep knowledge base and engaging style, you easily cross industry lingo. As a result, you are able to connect with listeners from a variety of industries. Thank you, Frank."
Wendy Togami, Soderquist Center for Leadership and Ethics
"Last year my business was floundering and so was my motivation.
I called Frank Niles. Frank came in and he asked me to form a "Dream Team" of friends and professionals I have worked with, and he started his transformation magic. Frank knew all the right questions to ask, he knew how to find all of my strengths and challenges, and then came up with a descriptive plan to take these hidden obstacles and place them in action!
Almost overnight it seems, he helped me see a clear path as to what I should do, both professionally and personally. He helped me realize that my personal life is so intertwined with my professional life, that I should only be involved in things I am passionate about, and let go of things of which I am not.
Since my consultation with Frank I have rebranded my company, and started a consulting business of which I enjoy more than any previous project. I finished my book telling my story of our accomplishments, and have been able to share and teach at national conferences and state trainings. The time spent with Frank is invaluable, and I look forward to the day when I can use his resources yet again, as I grow the company that I have just revitalized with Frank's help!"

Adult ADHD and ADHD Coaching on TV
I was recently contacted by a producer at Chronicle, a tv news magazine here in Boston, asking if I'd contribute to their show on Adult ADHD and ADHD Coaching. I was thrilled! And terrified! And mostly happy to have the opportunity to hopefully help more people who may or may not realize they have ADHD. I got to share some of my own quirky version of ADHD and strategies- which is also what I adore about coaching and supporting others with ADHD. I love people's weird ways of doing well when they focus on what works for them. Now I had two days to prepare- I mean literally, I was interviewed by phone and had two days warning before when they wanted to interview me at the house. At my house! Talk about how to focus me on cleaning up a bit! (Honestly I could have said no, let's wait until next week, but that would just give me a weekend of small children at home making more creative messes). I always talk to people about strategies for cleaning up the house like inviting people over, but this one takes several cakes. It is a strategy that could get renovations done if it involved more warning.
I'm linking to the segments here; the four segments comprise the whole 30-minute show put together, and I'm mostly in the second segment, though it is all worth watching. You can watch me using some funky reading strategies, and hear about at least one of my favorite strategies that a client came up with.
After we taped my part of the show at my house, I also got to work on updating my website. It was in the works anyways- with a three-month goal. We didn't talk much about parenting in the show, but it has taught me a lot about prioritizing in a very new way. When I went in and looked at the files on my old website, it was clear that my memory served me correctly- I had moved what I needed to over to a new platform when my first was a baby. The priorities were the kid and the clients- but my old site needed to be moved rapidly, so I focused on essentials, and it did the job. Before kids, I could spend all my free time playing around with graphics software and so on. After kids, I don't have free time, I have kid time.
In essence we did the same thing with the new site but it is a lot lovelier- and though the details aren't perfect yet, it was up and running in time for the show, to be closer to current, with some amazing help including Kristal Reagan, who also expected a three-month timeline. So the site is up, the blog is moving to within my main coaching website, and editing will continue. It is amazing working with a team.
I think the show was pretty darned good. I would have loved to share more strategies with people, so I'll just have to do that here.

Disclaimer: Still not my character, but it is my work. --- Post HBP, but no true spoilers.
He's an awful man.
I can tell these things, you know. I suppose it's a bit intuition, a bit experience. Some of the younger girls will shy away from the truly terrible ones, knowing somehow that they are in danger. It's a good practice if they want to survive long enough to be able to also rely on experience to tell the true danger.
He's not truly terrible. Not really. But I wouldn't wish him on a younger girl. He's perfect for me, though.
He's tall, dark, but not handsome. In that we are a match. His hair is greasy, his skin sallow. I'm merely pale. Our fingers are long, slender, his with the scars of acids that have splashed on them. I think he's a potions brewer. My hands have the marks of kitchen accidents and knife fights. Quite a pair we make.
I see him rarely. When I do, he comes down my alley, peruses the girls with a cool gaze. His black robes swirl and billow around him, even when it seems all else is still, and this terrifies others. Eventually his black eyes rest on me, and a cruel smile turns the corners of his lips up. He points to me with one of those long fingers, pale in the lamplight. "You. I'll take you."
Other girls would demand some assurance of coin immediately, but this is an old habit now. I silently follow him, and he does not turn to make sure I'm following. He knows I will.
He used to take me in the alley, press a few coins into my hands and leave without a word. I think I might prefer that, but we have come too far for that now. In recent years I follow him to a small house, dark and unassuming. He pauses at the threshold, mutters a few words and the door swings open soundlessly. He enters and holds the door, but not out of a desire to be chivalrous; he merely wants to make sure the door shuts securely behind me. I don't begrudge him that.
The lamps flare alive when he enters, showing bookshelves lining the walls and crammed with books. There is a faint smell of disuse to the house, but that, too, is normal. I meet his eyes, and he holds my stare for a moment, then looks away. He clears his throat, opens his mouth, and a snarl is emitted. "You look thin."
I want to laugh at the incongruity present in his words and face. My laughter will only serve to sour his mood further, and I do not want that. I smirk at him, instead. "So do you."
It's true, though. In the past he looked thin, slender. More recently he started looking more and more strung out. Now he looks haggard, dark circles under his eyes making inroads into the sallow skin.
He snorts at me, shakes his head. Black hair falls forward, shrouding his face with a greasy veil. "I suppose that's an accurate description." He gestures the way towards the bedchamber, and I follow his lead. No more talking now.
The bedchamber also shows signs of disuse, dust coats the side tables, and the sheets look like they've not been changed since the last time we were here together. This does not surprise me; I know his work takes him elsewhere, that he rarely comes home. Still, a part of me wishes that this house was better kept.
He comes in behind me, notices that I've stopped. He looks around, sees the sheets in their disarray. He mutters as he waves his wand, and the sheets suddenly snap taut. A sharp scent of lavender fills the air and wafts through the room. It is done with no fanfare or flourishes, and I realize once again that he did not do it to seek my approval, but rather, I suspect, for his own comfort.
Tonelessly, he says, "You may disrobe now. When you are finished, lie on the bed."
I look to him, but he has turned his back to me, busying himself with arranging a set of phials on the dresser. I strip off my outer robe, the skirt and the blouse. Stockings and underwear quickly join their fellows on the floor. I briefly think of simply leaving them in a pile, then think better of it. I stoop down to pick up my clothes, folding them neatly, setting the pile on a chair near the bed. I sit, hear the springs creak underneath me. Closing my eyes, I lie back, and do not open my eyes again until I feel the mattress move with his added weight.
When I look up, he is over me. I am slightly dismayed that he is still dressed, although his body is nothing to be proud of, thin and bony as it is. I frown though, as there is something not right, and I suddenly realize that he has disrobed. The white cloth covering his chest are bandages, and blood is seeping through, making thin red tracks across the gauze.
"You're injured," I say to him, and try to sit up, but he pushes me down again.
He grimaces. "It's of no importance."
With that, he places a slender hand over my mouth, preventing me from speaking any more. Despite one hand being occupied with covering my face, he straddles me with practiced ease. Before I know it, he has entered me, and in a few sharp thrusts and he is done, has spent himself inside of me. There is no tenderness in this, and I do not expect it.
Afterwards, I lay still on the bed and he sits on the edge, holding a hand to his bandaged chest. A small pile of coins lays ready on the table for when I leave. He has not yet asked me to leave, though, and I find myself unwilling to go.
I try to lever myself up without disturbing the bed too much, and put a tentative hand on his shoulder. He flinches away from me, shoots a deadly glare over his shoulder to me. I try again, but this time let my fingers hover over his shoulder for a moment.
"May I?" I ask.
Our eyes meet for a brief moment, and I get the feeling that he is testing me, evaluating me. But then the moment is over, and he nods curtly. He faces straight ahead, mouth pressed into a firm line, eyes giving nothing away, focused on a point that I think is a long way from this bedroom in Spinner's End.
I place my hand on his shoulder again, this time more firmly, and move off the bed to kneel in front of him. I am very aware of our mutual nudity, and for some reason it seems profane. The irony amuses me, but I do not allow myself to smile. Mirroring his blank expression, I face his chest and examine the blood seeping through the stark white gauze. I run my hands over his chest and ribs, feeling them. A sharply indrawn breath is the only evidence I have that the man I'm examining is, in fact, still alive.
My bony, scarred fingers pluck at the inexpertly wrapped bandages, and I undo them, trying not to touch his flesh directly. After an interminable number of winds, the ends of the bandages are revealed, stuck to the sluggishly bleeding slashes in his chest, half healed. I stare at them, trying to make sense of what could have caused the wounds.
"If you bring a basin of water, I'll warm it."
I look up, startled by his voice. He's looking down at me, gaze unreadable, but not unkind. I nod, go to the kitchen and fill a bowl, grab a clean looking rag. As I pad through the house, it is evident to me that my presence is that of a trespasser. It is an uncomfortable realization, but not one that surprises me. I resolve to leave as soon as this is done.
I return to the bedroom. He has not moved, but he now sits with a wand in hand. I set the bowl on the floor, and he points his wand at it, mutters a word that I can't identify. Obediently, steam starts rising from the liquid. I dip the rag into it, then wring it out. I start wiping at the blood, easing the bandages from where they had dried and stuck to the marks. Claws, I think. Claw marks.
He hisses as I pull away the last of the brown-red gauze, the only sound he has made since offering to warm some water. "Apologies," I murmur, but I don't think he hears me. I wash the rest of the blood away, and when I am done, the water is thoroughly red. I sit back on my heels, examining my handiwork. He does the same, then points his wand at his chest, growling. The wounds start to close themselves, the flesh knitting together, forming ugly scars.
We sit together silently, he still perched on the edge of the bed, I on the floor, for some time afterward.
"I won't be coming back here for awhile," he finally says, and I think I catch a note of regret in his voice.
I nod, not knowing what is expected of me. This is new ground, different than our usual exchanges.
"If I leave you coin to look after the house, will you?" His eyes meet mine, and I think for a long moment how much alike we are, and yet how utterly dissimilar. I can't say no to this offer, though, despite a deep throb of intuition to do just that.
"I can," is all I say. I'm afraid to say more.
He nods, then stands from his seat, swaying on his feet. I stand to steady him, but he shrugs out of my grasp. He turns from me to dress, and I catch sight of the Dark Mark on his arm. I've known it was there, known about it since our first meeting those many years ago. It meant nothing to me then, so long as his coin was good, but now it takes on new significance. Death Eater, evil.
When he is ready to leave, he stands at the door to the house and I stand by to see him off. I am clothed only in a silk dressing gown of his, green with silver piping. He is wrapped in a cloak and wand in hand. We are a mockery of domesticity, and I don't think the irony escapes either of us.
"I'll be gone a long time," he says, repeating himself. I nod silently, and watch him as he squares his shoulders and leaves. I stand in the doorway, staring out after him, his ground devouring strides taking him rapidly into the night.
When the Aurors come several weeks later, they ask after a man named Severus Snape. A thrill of elation fills me, as now I have a name for the dark, ugly wizard who by turns terrified me and gave me kindness. I shrug my shoulders mutely at their inquiries. I can tell them honestly that I had never heard of him before, and they do not ask further.
They leave, and I content myself with the books that still smell of him. I wonder if I will see him again, and it occurs to me that it doesn't matter.
A/N: Odd little story, isn't it? This is something to keep me busy while I decide how new HBP canon will or will not be incorporated into 'Ashen and Sober Skies.'

A record-breaking shark caught off the Florida Panhandle last week had its captor celebrating with friends and family by barbecuing the 11-foot mako.
Joey Polk, 29, of Milton, Fla., also holds the record for the largest tiger shark caught in 2010, clocking in at 949 pounds, according to the International Land-Based Shark Fishing Association. But the 805-pound catch he reeled in off the Florida Panhandle with the help of two cousins is unforgettable.
Polk says the effort is recognized by ILSFA as the largest mako catch ever.
"It was really good," he told the New York Daily News on Monday. "It's not real fishy. It does not have a real gamy, fishy taste."
Polk broke the mako record held by his cousin Earnie Polk, who caught a 674 pound land-based shark in 2009, the Pensacola News Journal reports. Earnie was also with him for the historic catch.
"It was really exciting to say the least," Joey Polk told the Daily News. "I fought the fish for a little more than an hour."
But the father of three said they were not looking to kill the shark. "We tried to revive the fish and send him back out, but he was too worn out to swim," Polk said. "That's why we decided to keep him. We don't do it for the money, for the publicity, just to catch the fish."
He says that this catch is possibly their best yet. "They are not supposed to be here," he adds. "They are open water fish and tend to stay in cold deeper waters."
Polk and his cousins set about 98 percent of what they catch free, he told the Houston Chronicle.
"We only bring in the ones too injured to swim away," said Polk, who admits that fishing is a misunderstood sport and not everybody agrees with it.

In our living room, between two wingback chairs, sits a lovely occasional table. We call it the grapevine—named I suppose for the rope or vine detail that wraps around the base's top perimeter. It is one of those pieces of furniture you inherit in a hodgepodge of stuff family and friends are more than happy to dump on you—er—I mean give you when you first start out to help furnish your first apartment.
The professor and I were student newlyweds at the time and we would pretty much take anything that was sent our way. Lets be honest, it was either that or sit on the floor. Needless to say this table was the cream of the crop. It had an antique vibe that suited our sensibilities. The lines of it were curved and delicate. Most importantly the table added a level of sophistication to any space we lived in earning us no small amount of admiration and respect among our student friends.
Beautiful as the table was to us, it did show some battle wounds from the start. The top presented a deep gouge and some obvious grease marks. It had been covered with a mahogany wood stain, but remained unvarnished. I had every intention of refurbishing it from the beginning. I was determined to restore it to its original beauty.
For more than 22 years of marriage the table sat waiting for me to give it the promised TLC. My solution in the interim was to cover its flaws with a strategically placed lamp, books, and nicknacks. In the 90s I was able to hide the top under a couple of my grandmother's doilies. By 2000 I realized that look wasn't going to cut it anymore.
I have painted the table a dozen times over in my head—a whole array of accent colours—but never for real. I'm sure that part of me was afraid painting an "antique" was a sin. Finally I said enough! I settled on black with the thought that every room needs a bit of black and It would provide some balance for the grand piano, which now dominates the current space it sits in. Let me tell you I got nothing but support from the family: "Black? Why are we painting it black? I hate black … You're not painting that? Don't do it mom! I liked it the way it is!"
Oh, we are such a sentimental troop!
However, once the decision was made I stuck to my guns and saw it through. I do not have one regret. In the end I could see that it was the table's shape, rather than it's finish that was its most beautiful attribute.
In preparation for painting I first took the table down to its basic components. Over time the glue had become brittle giving the table quite the wobble. As I scraped the old glue off I discovered several flaws the table was hiding. The wood wasn't really that fine after all: the top and base were different species, the legs had some large knots here and there, and one of them had been fractured requiring and emergency repair. These were all flaws I hadn't noticed simply because I liked the table so much and was content to let be (Hmmm, I feel like there is an analogy hidden here somewhere … about human interactions maybe).
Anyhow, not a problem. With a can of paint, some elbow grease and a little love the flaws are once again hidden. Our grapevine sits clean, fresh and pretty back between the Wingback chairs. I love it, but more than anything I love the idea that when someone asks me about our beautiful occasional table I can tell them I got it the day the professor and I got married—flaws and all!

Property Offers History and Privacy in a Prime Location with Stunning Views
Wilton, CT – April 21, 2014 – William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty announced today that the firm has listed the 1915 Samuel Keeler House in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Wilton, Connecticut. Westport Brokerage agent Todd Gibbons has the listing, which is offered at $2,749,000.
The Keeler family owned 70 acres of farmland originally given to Samuel Keeler, Sr., in 1709 by the Town of Norwalk, as payment "on condition that he erect a belfry on top of the meeting house." Many generations later Isaiah Keeler (the great-great-great grandson of the patriarch of the Fairfield County Keelers, Ralph Keeler) was deeded a home and 25 acres on the hilltop of Ridgefield Road in 1819. Isaiah Keeler's twin brother, Samuel V, lived on this homestead, now located at 550 Ridgefield Road.
Perched on a hilltop, the Samuel Keeler House rests on 4.76 acres of land including a barn, patio, terrace, porch and swimming pool. The antique Colonial is surrounded by professionally manicured lawns, with natural stone pathways connecting the main house to the barn, guest house and caretaker's apartments as well as a tavern.
"This spectacular gentleman's farm is a unique find in Southern Fairfield County," said Gibbons. "The property provides an exceptional lifestyle, whether you're relaxing by the pool, horseback riding or reading in the library. The house both inspires and rewards!"
The main residence is spacious with nine-foot ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The kitchen has been updated to include the latest amenities with granite countertops and a practical center island. The home's antique appeal is seen through its original hardwood flooring and exposed wood beams accenting the library. Eight original fireplaces warm the house and complete the historic and New England feel of the home.
Constructed in 1915, the home offers a total of 5,952 square feet of living space with 16 rooms including seven bedrooms as well as five and a half baths.Additional amenities include central cooling, a security system, well water and a detached five-car garage.

Closing entries are journal entries made at the end of an accounting cycle to set the balance of temporary accounts to zero and to begin the next accounting period. The process transfers these temporary accounts entries to the company's balance sheet. Temporary accounts that are closed include revenue, expense and drawing accounts.

The assets, liabilities and owner's equity accounts, however, are not closed. They are permanent accounts and their ending balances are the beginning balances for the next accounting period.

Why Do Closing Entries?

When the revenue, expense and drawing accounts--the temporary accounts--are closed, their balances return to zero in preparation for the new accounting period. That is one reason closing entries are prepared. The other reason closing entries are prepared is so the company's retained earnings account will show any actual increase in revenues from the prior year and any decreases from dividends and expenses.

Retained earnings are those earnings not distributed to shareholders as dividends, but retained for further investment, often in advertising, sales, production and equipment. The underlying purpose of closing entries is to zero out those temporary accounts that have changed during the account period being closed in order to begin entries in the next accounting cycle. A term often used for closing entries is "reconciling" the company's accounts.

The Income Summary Account

The income summary account is a temporary account used only during the closing process. It contains all the company's revenues and expenses for the current accounting time period. In other words, it contains net income -- the earnings figure that remains after subtracting all business expenses, depreciation, debt service expense and taxes. The income summary account is never used when preparing the financial statement because its only purpose is to be used during the closing process.

Four Steps to Complete Closing Entries

There are four steps to complete the closing entries:

Look for the revenue accounts in the trial balance, which is the list of all the revenue and capital accounts in the company's ledger. You will see that they have a credit balance. In order to return them to zero, you must debit each revenue account to the income summary.

Look for the expense accounts in the trial balance. You will see that they have a debit balance. You must credit each expense account to the income summary in order to return the expense account total to zero.

If the income summary has a credit balance, that is the company's net income. Now, the income summary must be closed to retained earnings. Debit income summary and credit retained earnings.

The last step is to close the dividend account to retained earnings. The dividend account has a debit account. Credit the dividend account and debit the retained earnings account. Retained earnings now has the appropriate amount of the net income that was allocated to it in it.

For most companies, this is the end of the accounting cycle.

An Acceptable Shortcut

The four step method described above is often the best choice because it provides a clear audit trail. For smaller businesses, however, it is often quicker and equally accurate to bypass the income summary and instead to close temporary entries directly to the retained earnings account. The end result is the same in both instances: temporary accounts are closed to the retained earnings account for presentation in the company's balance sheet.

Looks like the activation servers for iTunes are seriously swamped with requests. Looks like their capacity planning folks failed in their job and didn't anticipate the demands for a world wide roll-out of a new iPhone and a firmware upgrade of older iPhones and IPod Touch devices. Well, it's not like they had MONTHS to prepare for it.
So when I plugged my phone this morning, iTunes popped up and told me that the v2.0 was ready and if I'd like to install it. uhm… Hell yes! iTunes downloaded the new firmware, backed up my phone, placed the new firmware on the phone and restarted the phone. Once the phone is back online, it was to go back to iTunes and 're-activate' (I guess). Since the servers are swamped, I get an unknown iTunes Store error of -9838.
The phone can now only be used for emergency phone calls. Which is very disappointing – but I'm also a little relieve to see that the Apple had the ability to put that functionality into the phone without the phone being activated.
Anyway – don't call me… at least for a few hours. Hopefully Apple will fix their issues and I'll be in v2.0 Heaven soon.
