Why I'm turning ledgers into lemonade
Oh, I had high hopes, though. You want to hear about an interesting job? Let me tell you about how things could have turned out. A couple months ago I stumbled upon what I was pretty sure was The Perfect Job--Studio Operations Manger at a yoga studio. At a yoga studio that I could walk to from my otherwise not particularly conveniently located apartment. And one of the perks of the job was free yoga! Well, I pounded out an earnest and heart-felt cover letter, sat back, and steeled myself for yet another rejection. But, they liked my cover letter, and wanted to meet me! I will never make it past the interview, I told myself in a futile effort to avoid crushing disappointment. But, we talked, and they liked me! Things were going much too well for me, and so when they offered me the job, I finally discovered the fly in the ointment: though the ad had claimed "salary commensurate with experience, health insurance, and free yoga," in actuality I would be paid only slightly more per hour than your average Starbucks barista. Oh. That. Well, good thing I hadn't gotten my hopes up!
So, it was back to the drawing board, and now here I am, about to start my new job as a bookkeeper at an architectural firm in the swank Maryland suburbs of DC. It actually seems very similar to the position I held at my first real job in Boston, back in '04-'06. The cushy one with amazing benefits where I lasted only a year and a half before deeming it "boring" and skipping merrily away in favor of a lifetime of impoverished studentdom. (In retrospect, probably not one of my better decisions.) When I tell people what I do, without fail they will look baffled and ask something like, "Did you always want to be a bookkeeper? I mean, how did that happen, exactly? You have two Masters' degrees in what, again?" And, um, no. Obviously I never wanted to be a bookkeeper. But other than teaching it's the only thing I have actual experience doing, and thus it is the only job that anyone will hire me for. Such is life. Might as well make the best of it. Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna keep the fuck out of those books.

I would like to know the actual percentage of people in the US with a job in their field of study. I bet it's like 1 percent or something. You are not alone!! But HEY! You know how I feel about a cushy (but boring) job with great benefits! :)
Honestly I think you've just achieved the American Dream!- AnonymousJune 20, 2012 at 10:41 AM
I have it! You marry the boss and stay home all day and watch TV! And it doesn't really require even one master's degree. Leave the male brain alone long enough and it always comes up with the perfect solution for life's little mysteries. No need to thank me, I'm not charging you for the advice.

Can't knock a job that pays the bills. My job is totally unrelated to my undergraduate degree.
ReplyDelete Congrats on the new job. It may not be what you went to school for, but it seems like doing something completely out of your field of study is the new normal. And you know what? When I was actually working in my field of study (ESL teaching, translation), I HATED it. I'm wondering why loving family and friends didn't steer me away from an undergrad in linguistics back when they had the chance. I should be a vet right now, not working in a French castle at the reception desk.
P.S. Love the title of this post. Very clever :)

New York Life: The importance of life insurance for the stay-at-home spouse
10.03.2013 / Blog Posts
New York Life has teamed up with WOW and graciously offered us our very own WOW Financial Advisor! Every two weeks, be on the lookout for smart tips and advice from our friends at New York Life...
The economic impact is far greater than you might think
Most people agree that the wage earner in any family should have life insurance protection. After all, how would the family survive without a breadwinner's income? But, what if something were to happen to a stay-at-home spouse? There could also be a tremendous financial impact.
Indeed, while everyone recognizes the vital role of the family homemaker, few people stop to think about the cost of services performed by the stay-at-home spouse. This includes childcare, looking after the home, preparing meals, and many other time-consuming activities, like carpooling, laundry, and grocery shopping. The average price of full-time care for an infant in a center was as high as almost $15,000 a year.1 That's why it's crucial for a stay-at-home spouse to have his or her own life insurance protection.
The Valuable Contribution of the Stay-at-Home Spouse
Despite the importance of the stay-at-home parent, there's little research to quantify its value. In its 2012, Mom Salary Survey, Salary.com reported the ten most popular functions performed by mothers equates to $115,431 per year vs. a working mother's salary of $63,4471. It further states the stay-at-home spouse works a 96+hour week, serving as housekeeper, teacher, cook, psychologist, and van driver - in short, functioning as a CEO at home.
How Much Life Insurance Do You Need?
There are no hard and fast rules for determining how much life insurance is enough, because no two families have exactly the same needs or resources. As a general rule of thumb, though, the appropriate amount of insurance protection could equal up to an individual's annual salary times the number of years before the youngest child is out of college, depending on other available income or resources.
When calculating an amount for a stay-at-home spouse, the annual financial value of the services they provide should be used. Let's say you determine that the financial value of the services a stay-at-home spouse provides for your family equals $50,000 a year. If your youngest child will finish college in 15 years, the appropriate amount of insurance protection needed for the stay-at-home spouse would be approximately $750,000, depending on other available income or resources.
Some other things you might consider in determining an insurance amount include funeral costs, medical expenses, probate fees, estate taxes and inflation. Your insurance agent can help you determine how much life insurance you will need.
Your Life Insurance Choices
There are two basic types of life insurance protection for you to choose from--term and permanent.
There's a wide range of term and permanent life insurance products available to meet your specific needs. Your life insurance agent can explain the choices available to you.

O'Davis says the worst thing is the timing
Newcastle has requested extra footage of the incident that left Robbie O'Davis nursing a badly broken nose to satisfy the National Rugby League judiciary was correct in not taking action against Robbie Beckett.
The Knights have spoken to judiciary commissioner Jim Hall after receiving a charge sheet, which listed Newcastle's Andrew Johns (head slam) and Josh Perry (contrary conduct), but not Beckett.
O'Davis was injured after a head clash with the West Tigers' Beckett in the second half of Saturday night's match at EnergyAustralia Stadium, won 34-6 by the Knights.

95Petrolo's 2007 Galatrona (Merlot) is another of the successes of the vintage. It is a dark, seamless Galatrona packed with dark fruit, cassis, minerals and French oak. Despite the wine's opulence and richness, the fruit retains considerable clarity as well as nuance. Today the French oak is a touch pronounced, but in a few years this dense, plush Merlot from impeccably-farmed hillside vineyards should be firing on all cylinders. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2027. ||Proprietor Luca Sanjust and his team make some of the most sensual, pleasurable wines in Tuscany. Always intellectually curious, Sanjust continues to push the envelope, most recently with his 2001 sweet wine, essentially a Vin Santo that can't be labeled as such since its residual sugar is far above the legally accepted limits. Wine Advocate.October, 2010 |
Petrolo is a Tuscan wine producer based in the hills of the Chianti Collo Aretini region. The family owned and operated estate produce top notch wines made from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, all labelled under the IGT wine designation. The estate was purchased by the Bazzocchi family in the 1940's and is now run by Lucia Bazzocchi, and her son Luca. Together, they produce their range of critically acclaimed wines including Torrione, a Sangiovese often included in Wine Spectator's top 100 wines of the year. Their Merlot, Galatrona, has been compared to the top names in Bordeaux, notably Petrus. Other wines in their collection include: Campolusso, Boggina, Sanpetrolo, Bogginafora and Inarno. Petrolo's vineyards extend across 31 hectares bordering the south eastern area of Chianti Classico; however, only 26 hectares are included in their current production. The main objective of the winery is to grow the best possible grapes and use little intervention in their winemaking to create outstanding wines. Though they are not certified organic, they have not been using any inorganic fertilizers, pesticides or chemicals for almost 10 years. At harvest, the grapes are all hand-picked before being vinified in glazed cement vats. Each vineyard batch is fermented separately, using only native yeast. Gentle winemaking techniques are used for all grape varieties before ageing takes places in a combination of French oak barriques, tonneaux and 40 hl barrels. Deservingly, the wines of Petrolo have a loyal following and continue to amass impressive accolades from Wine Spectator, James Suckling and others

Mission Location: Fond Parisien, Haiti
Mission Organization:
Operation Smile
Mission Purpose:
To provide health care for 1200 displaced refugee families in a tent hospital on the grounds of an orphanage.
After hearing about the Haitian earthquake I immediately signed up with aid relief organizations to help out. I'm a long standing supporter of Partners in Health which has been developing community health based care for infectious diseases and had some knowledge of Haiti. All of the organizations offered me the chance to go to Haiti as a care giver. I opted to travel with Operation Smile and arrived there in April 2010 on the third month anniversary of the earthquake. The airport was pure madness. I waited two hours on the sidewalk for my driver to get through the traffic and bad roads to pick me up. After a three hour drive we finally made it to Fond Parisien where I lived and worked in the tent hospital created and run by the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative. Patients were flown here after the earthquake by helicopter which landed on the grounds as directed by the Haitian government in order to reduce the burden on the limited medical resources in Port-au-Prince. Over 900 volunteers from 16 countries came to serve at the camp over the 5 months that it existed. Literally, everything in the camp was donated and as volunteers would depart they would leave useful items for those coming along behind them. We lived in tents and were provided two meals a day cooked by the local staff who were hired by the camp managers. There were 120 local people employed in the camp to manage supplies, cook and deliver food to the patients, mediate disputes, maintain security, clean bathrooms, etc.
Every morning and afternoon all volunteers attended the team meeting with camp management team. All issues from each care group were updated, new issues posted, resolved issues closed. New staff were publicly introduced, welcomed and thanked. Departing team members were recognized and thanked for their service.
Bedside patient rounds were conducted twice daily. The highlight of the afternoon were PT rounds where all patients would gather in wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, etc. Community leaders working with PT staff would lead the exercises, with all repetitions counted out loud in French.
I worked inside a concrete block classroom which had been renovated to provide as close to modern OR standards for orthopedics as possible in this setting. The walls and ceilings were covered with industrial strength plastic to keep dust out of the air. The floor was painted to keep dust down and a HEPA filter was installed into the wall in front of the window where the air conditioner was. Our electricity was provided by a generator outside the building. Power would go out when the gas would run out. Flashlights and LLBean head lamps light sources were used when power went out. Our team provided anesthesia and surgery for 35 patients who had been treated for multiple trauma after the earthquake. All cases were done under general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia. The team successfully removed all of the external fixation devices and definitive care for the few patients whose fractures were non-union. Wound irrigation, debridement and dressing changes were provided under GA for two patients with wound infections. Due to the very close monitoring our infection rates were very low. At the end of each day It was wonderful to make rounds and see the patients whose cumbersome fixator devices had been removed. Patients were happy to be rid of them. I watched the prosthetist and PT get 5 men back on their feet again for the first time since their amputations in January. This was most gratifying. Watching amputees navigate the rough ground was always an amazing site to see.
At the end of my day, I would have an evening bucket shower under the stars in my blue tarp outdoor shower stall using my bucket of water which left to warm in the tent all day as average temps were 90 degrees. Everyone worked well together while providing 24 hr round the clock care.
After the surgeons departed I changed roles and became a public health nurse visiting the local refugee camp a mile down the road from the tent hospital. This is where our healed patients and families has been moved to if they had no home to go back to. Our clinic ran for 4 hours and we saw 30 patients who almost without exception complained of heartburn, depression, insomnia and headache.
I will long recall the memories of this mission experience working with so many kind and caring people along with the gratitude from those whom we aided and supported during our stay in Haiti.

Bayesian analysis of stochastic frontier models
Koop, Gary and Steel, Mark F.J. (2001) Bayesian analysis of stochastic frontier models. In: A Companion to Theoretical Econometrics. Blackwell, pp. 520-537. ISBN 063121254X
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
In this chapter, we described a Bayesian approach to efficiency analysis using stochastic frontier models. With cross-sectional data and a log-linear frontier, a simple Gibbs sampler can be used to carry out Bayesian inference. In the case of a nonlinear frontier, more complicated posterior simulation methods are necessary. Bayesian efficiency measurement with panel data is then discussed. We show how a Bayesian analogue of the classical fixed effects panel data model can be used to calculate the efficiency of each firm relative to the most efficient firm. However, absolute efficiency calculations are precluded in this model and inference on efficiencies can be quite sensitive to prior assumptions. Accordingly, we describe a Bayesian analogue of the classical random effects panel data model which can be used for robust inference on absolute efficiencies. Throughout, we emphasize the computational methods necessary to carry out Bayesian inference. We show how random number generation from well-known distributions is sufficient to develop posterior simulators for a wide variety of models.

Dante Smells A Michael! GH Tuesday
GENERAL HOSPTIAL: Nasty rumors going around about people leaving GH. I haven't heard anything about anyone leaving. I usually have a rumor or two flying around but right now? Nothing. We've all wondered about Brandon Barash, but that would be the show, not him. So, if you think your fave is going--hang on, it's probably just a nasty rumor. Then again, if poor Jason Cook decided to go, I'd say congrats!! Those idiots don't know how to write for you.
Loved Dante staring down KeMo's chestial area! LOL... Lante was very HOT today..whoo.
Ok, if Lisa were actually Sarah Webber, I could totally get behind it. She could have met Pat in school--she was gone long enough. Plus, with Steven Lars back, we'd have a family again. As of now, I really hate Dr. Girlie.
OH! WOW! Another JAX/CARLY/SONNY fight! wow..and they are yelling IN THE METRO. Telling evidence and stuff. DUH. It's totally STUPID to have them yelling this crap in the middle of the restaurant. Not for nothin, but Sonny's been alone for a long time (for him)!
That blonde Ethan is with looks like Flo from the insurance commericals. She has a GIANT grin. Kinda scared me. And Keifer tells Krissy to wear something "smokin' hot to make him proud"
Lisa in her bra with Patrick. Guess that was the "naked" spoiler. ;/
Olivia telling Sonny that kid Dante liked to "Blow things up"... just like you! That scene rocked. You could tell Maurice even loved it!! woot! "every man you ever shot was somebody's son...this time it was yours"
NOTICE in today's show...Spin says he 'ruptured his achillies tendon" which we know is true since he tweeted it from the Soap Cruise!! Don't we know the inside dish!!?
So, who's your fave couple to watch on GH Lately? I'm diggin' Lante that's for sure!!
NICE info: The 31st Annual Young Artist Awards has nominated Austin Williams (Shane OLTL) and Aaron Refvem (Morgan GH) for Best Performance In A TV Series By A Recurring Young Actor 13 and Under. Haley Pullos (Molly GH) has been nominated for the same award in the female category. Aaron Refvem was also nominated for Guest Starring Actor 13 And Under In A TV Series for his work on Sons Of Anarchy. CONGRATS to all!

hands down Lulu/Dante. Who else on the show is an actual couple? I don't count barfy Jason and Sam. I wonder if she ever looks at him and thinks, wow, this man threatened to kill me. If they would start doing more stuff with Alexis and Mac, I could get behind that. Still love Scrubs too, but their romance is always short lived and they seem to have lost their kid too.
- March 9, 2010 at 4:31 PM

Lulu/Dante all the way. Jason and Sam still turns my stomach too. Knowing her history with Liz and Jake he'd have to be brain damaged to go out with her. How do you forget or forgive something like that?
And Dr Underwear can go anytime. Patrick must be brain damaged too if he can't see where she's coming from.
I'd like to see a little more Alexis/Mac too.
And where is Morgan? The cutest kid in the show, and so believable. We need to see more of him. Maybe he's stashed in the cupboard with Spencer somewhere at Windemere. - March 9, 2010 at 5:27 PM
- TwilightEternity said...
110% Dante/Lulu! I have said it a million times,I'll say it a million more,I can just watch them and be very happy.
one of my coworkers always brings me her sopa mags and SOD is one,it always does the favorite actress,actor,and couple. I think it is hilarious because for GH it is always Becky Herbst(actress),Steve Burton (actor), and Liz and Jason(couple)! LOL-a little outdated if you ask me! - March 9, 2010 at 6:57 PM
there is only one couple on GH that is worth rooting for and that is lulu and dante. I will always hope for a liason reunion.
- March 9, 2010 at 7:03 PM
There's a reason Liason is always #1 in many polls, the history speaks for itself. They are the torn couple and will always love one another but can't be together. Typical soap stuff. But the man Jason is today I cannot recognize. for that matter I don't recognize Liz either. I am hoping that the poll #'s change however and L&L become #1. (or #2 respectively behind Donte & Lulu). I have to give it to them, becuase I usually can't stand Lulu. But this Lulu I like. Dante brings that out in her.
- March 9, 2010 at 7:17 PM
- kdmask said...
I do like Tracy/ Luke too forgot them whoops
- March 9, 2010 at 7:22 PM
Gawd I adore Dante/Lulu so much. What a cute show for the 2 of them. I also loved Olivia telling Sonny about Dante's youth. Nothing makes me happier than watching Olivia tell people off :D
I like how they wrote in Bradford Anderson's injury into the storyline. I loved Maxie's crime fighting outfit and the way they pinned up her hair reminded me of vintage Felicia hair.
Lisa in her unmentionables? Not something I ever cared to see... gag
One final comment... Lulu, Maxie, and Carly all need to go get their roots done. Yikes! :D - March 9, 2010 at 7:23 PM
Andrea- your scrubs comment made me laugh out loud. I almost forgot Robin and Patrick had a kid!
- March 9, 2010 at 7:50 PM
I hate Lante..I know I am in the minority but I despise all things LuLu. Dante can only do so much for me with this couple.
I love Tracey & Luke
There are no couples on GH I cn root for. I mean I wouldn't even waste vomit on JaSpam - March 9, 2010 at 8:24 PM
Who's "Lante" why don't you people speak in English?
- March 9, 2010 at 9:48 PM
I LOVED "Lante" aka Lulu & Dante! They are the ONLY reason the show is even watchable. I just hope if Scott Clifton does come back they DON"T have Dillon come in and mess them up.
- March 10, 2010 at 1:56 AM
- TwilightEternity said...
no offense to anyone,just my opinion but "Lante","Jasam","CarJax",ect,ect are names that fans give the couples because they are too Lazy to just write out they're names! LOL!
I personally hate the names.
AGAIN, no offense to anyone....don't send Jason after me! I know some people can be ultra-sensitive! - March 10, 2010 at 9:36 AM
The show was so/so with me.
Carly actually yelled at Jason for half a second before she agreed with him. Gasp!
Why is Robin pushing Patrick to be with Lisa. I know that she said she trusts Patrick, but if he says he wants to spend time with you and Emma, LET HIM!!
You can see the regret in Dantes eyes, when he hears Ronnie tell Sonny about getting Michael on that stand...ugh.
Why didn't Dante have a cop patrol Jason's Penthouse if he knew that Michael was there?
When Sonny "summoned" Olivia over to his table, I can't believe she went over there. I would have turned my head and walked out the door. I did like her giving him the what for about his childhood, but in Sonnys eyes, nothing is his fault.
Also, not a big fan of the nicknames for everyone, but you will see me put Scrubs in my conversations because I like that nickname. - March 10, 2010 at 10:02 AM
I wouldn't say that those were chesticles on Sam. Those are definitely breasticles!!

Sydney-bred, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Lenka uses her body as a landscape in this innovative video for "Nothing Here But Love." Directed by her husband, visual artist James Gulliver Hancock, the clip for this contagious indie-pop number – taken from her new album, Shadows – is downright fascinating.
More News
Random Notes: Hottest Rock Pictures
To create a city block occupying her inner thigh, a lake across her breast and forestry atop her hip, Lenka teamed with a film prosthetics prop-maker who designed and carefully placed the pieces of land over her body. Although the shoot required her to lie in an uncomfortable position for five hours, the Australian asserts that the challenging experience "was totally worth it."
"The song describes a utopian fantasy world of pure love and sweetness," Lenka explains to Rolling Stone. "I become like a mother-nature figure, resembling a train set model. . . I eventually start to connect all the little creatures that reside on me with their significant other. It's a true romance!"

One of the nice things about working with a 6 month old is that there is no rush or timeline. If she learns something between now and 18 months, I feel well ahead of schedule as all my other dogs started at 2 to 3 years. With competitions on the calendar, I feel self-imposed pressure to make sure Seven and Riley do a certain amount of agility and obedience each week. But with Maddie, it is all no big deal.
I am really pleased with Maddie's cone work. Basically, it is just a tight turn. Most jumps have wings so in the future she will need wrap around wings to do tight turns over jumps. We just do a few of these at a time. Recently, Maddie started galloping around the cone which I love.
The second thing on the video is an introduction to rear crosses. I am just teaching her to turn away from me when I use an opposite arm.
And then the last thing is just a little intro to jumping. I just want to introduce her to running between the jump stands and following my hand.

I quite like the decor here, esp the 2nd last photo you took.
At first glance, I thought the chinese pancakes was a mille feuille.RepliesBaby Sumo: yeah, on one hand, i think this place is a little too "pretty" for me, and bordering close on sterile in its colors, but i'm betting a lot of folks will like it =)
heheh, it's a mille-feuille made of chinese pancakes! i'd recommend this place for those two creative desserts :D
I've been watching this place slowly renovate and finally open when I pass it every morning on the way to work! Been thinking of giving it a try, but wasn't sure if they did affordable lunches or dinners. Thanks for the heads up! Was wondering when you blog about it. hahaha
ReplyDeleteThe place looks nice and the price quite reasonable.
Would like to try that Chinese pancakes, interesting combination.the salmon looks good...
I agree no alchohol is no fun .. and now I am quiting alchohol...
I am such no fun .. sigh...Can't believe I'm about to type this but no alcohol might be a good thing - the setting looks dizzying enough with all of those swirls and stripes. :-)
ReplyDeletetapai pulut looks very interesting :) what a great place to chill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Duduk is a traditional woodwind instrument of Armenian origins.[1]
History[change | change source]
The duduk is one of the oldest double reed instruments in the world which dates back over 3,000 years. Many different duduks can be found in Armenia and the Caucasus. The roots of Armenian duduk music go back to the times of the Armenian king Tigran the Great (95-55 BC). The instrument is seen in many Armenian manuscripts of the Middle Ages.[1]

When our child was really sick, we took her to the emergency room, where we waited forever, while people, seemingly far less sick, went before her. I was utterly furious. I wondered if everyone who went before her was insured. A lot of people go to the emergency room because they have no insurance and can't see a doctor otherwise. We talk ...

OPINION: Millions of Americans are slaves to government today
Posted by
Tuesday, September 1. 2009
How do you make a slave? How do you take a human being who's natural state is one of freedom and liberty and force him into submission?
There are two ways to make a slave. One is with whips and chains. Chains to prevent him from fleeing, and the whip to force him to do your will. That is an easy one to enforce, but you will never whip out the desire for freedom in one who has had a taste of liberty.
The other, more damaging way to make a slave is with ignorance and dependence. Unlike most creatures on earth, human infants are born with no instinctive knowledge of how to survive. That is why human children take so long to mature. They need the time to learn all the things they have to know to function in our world. In all things, he must be carefully taught. ("Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6)
Therefore, if you want to create a slave, take a young child and carefully teach him to be totally dependent on the slave master for all things. And carefully shield him from the kind of thorough education that will teach him to think for himself, or assume responsibility for his own welfare. Once he is totally dependent on some force outside himself for his food, shelter, clothing and health he will be fiercely loyal to that source. Because to be otherwise would place his entire life system at risk.
Suppose you were taught from infancy to depend on government for your well-being and someone came along and told you that to maintain your well-being you had to vote for a specific candidate, or go to a certain street and hold up a sign that you might not even understand, or that you must say repeatedly a slogan exactly as they taught you, you would feel that you have no choice but to do as you were told. You would be a slave to the government.
Millions of Americans are slaves to government today. These slaves come in all colors, from all regions of the nation, and are of all sexual inclinations. They have very poor language skills, limited mathematical skills and undeveloped logic capacities. Even if they went to school, they were never motivated by their families and peers to learn the things they need to be self sufficient.
And sadly, they are also deficient in parenting skills, so their children are left in the same trap and will also become slaves to government.
The more we turn our lives over to government, the less ability we have to be free and independent citizens. A large percentage of our citizens are slaves today, and if the trend continues, we will become a nation of slaves. And once that happens, the characteristics that made us a great nation will be quickly eliminated and slavery will be the norm. Time is short and we must act now to save our liberty.
But if we are unwilling to do the things that are necessary, then perhaps we do not deserve to be a free people. I hope I am wrong but I am not very optimistic.

Yes! I'm so happy you went for it, its beautiful! Doesn't it make such a huge difference! Love. And I was thinking to myself that I wanted to comment how much I like the brass hardware against the new color before I even read the part you wrote about it! Yay for quick projects with such a big effect:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE!... Everything about it! You already have an amazing door, and they sure don't make them that beautiful and unique anymore. Love the color and what you've done with the window. Cannot wait to see all of the end results!! Such a good feeling. Congrats and well done on the progress! Hope you are well, Whitley
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it?
I painted the interior of the front door, living room (french doors) and kitchen door - red. We went with Almost Charcoal (dark blue grey - just a bit lighter than yours - for the hallway doors.
I'm amazed at the difference it makes.
I wish my door had a window like yours. I really like the frosted pattern.That looks great! If I were allowed to paint my apartment door, I would totally do the same thing.
~em @ small girl, big worldHa we just did the reverse! Since we ended up painting our entry way dark blue, we actually re-painted our door from a dark blue to a light gray! The dark blue and dark blue was too much for the space. Now I need to make a curtain like the one you have in your original picture. Too funny.

I have logged it as DERBY-4042. The problem is that the SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLE procedure builds some SQL statements internally, and then it just puts quotes around the strings with no checking of whether the strings contain quotes. So currently the string is parsed once more than you'd expect, and you need twice as many quotes. -- Knut Anders | |

2 Chainz Reunites Hot Boys For "Used 2″ Video Shoot In New Orleans, Lil Wayne Reveals Shorter Dreads
2 Chainz just made a LOT of old school Cash Money Records fans happy. Yesterday, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper took it to the 7th Ward of New Orleans, LA to shoot the video for his single "Used 2." Cameos in the video included the track's producer, Mannie Fresh, along with Turk, Juvenile and Lil Wayne.
That's 3 out of 4 members of the original Hot Boys for anyone who is keeping count. The missing member, B.G. (real name Christopher Dorsey) more than likely would have been there too if he wouldn't have been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison last summer for gun possession and witness tampering.
There was no sign of Birdman to complete the full Cash Money reunion, but Lil Wayne did rock a new hairdo that now has him sporting shorter dreads. For what it's worth, the backbone of the signature Cash Money sound and super producer, Mannie Fresh, tweeted some VERY encouraging words today.
My city and my friends in unity right now (THANK U GOD) if I ain't a hotboy then what do u call that

Sharp Earns Three Top Awards From Buyers Laboratory
MAHWAH, N.J., July 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation, has earned three Summer 2014 Outstanding Achievement in Innovation awards from Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI), the world's leading independent evaluator of document imaging products and solutions. Sharp received Outstanding Achievement awards in Innovation from BLI for full-bleed booklet printing and for control panel integration with EFI Fiery Command WorkStation for the Sharp Pro Series MX-6500N and MX7500N Color Document Systems. Sharp also received an Outstanding Achievement in Innovation award for its Cloud Portal Office service.
BLI's semi-annual Pick awards are given to the hardware and software offerings judged to be the best in BLI's comprehensive evaluations, which assess a wide range of the most important performance factors for buyers. Its Outstanding Achievement awards acknowledge products or capabilities that stand out for attributes such as innovation, usefulness, energy efficiency or value.
"Hat's off to Sharp," said BLI Manager of Laboratory Testing Pete Emory. "Whereas competitors require expensive, space-eating in-line and offline options, as well as access to more expensive 12" x 18"-size paper to create full-bleed 11" x 17" booklets, users of the Sharp Pro Series can produce full-bleed, professional-looking booklets with up to 120 pages on 11" x 17" paper."
The Sharp Pro Series Color Document System offers the ability to produce full-bleed booklets, helping to reduce outsourcing costs as well as production time.
"Sharp's control panel integration with EFI Fiery Command WorkStation also breaks new ground," added Emory. "With the industry moving more and more towards tablet-style, touch-and-swipe interfaces, Sharp and EFI have found a way to raise the bar even further. This integration saves users the costs and space typically associated with having to purchase an additional monitor and stand; and because the same display also serves as the main operation panel for the Pro Series, operators can switch between the two with ease."
The Sharp Cloud Portal Office solution also received an Outstanding Achievement in Innovation award. Launched in February 2014, Cloud Portal Office is a comprehensive document management and collaboration service that is fully integrated with Sharp OSA-enabled MFPs. The cloud based solution allows business users to access work from any location, connect and share documents and capture electronic files and hardcopy documents using a single content management service.
"We're proud to be recognized by BLI for our innovative and groundbreaking solutions," said Shane Coffey, Director, Product Management, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America. "These awards acknowledge our continued commitment to address the needs of our customers with reliable technology that keeps them truly competitive and productive."

Tips For A Romantic Night In
Tuesday, 15 October 2013
Everybody can enjoy a date night out of the house, whether it's the traditional dinner-and-a-movie option or something a bit more unique or personal. There's just something satisfying about getting out there and treating yourself, and your significant other, to an experience. But for a truly intimate experience, many of us still prefer a romantic night in, and when done right this sort of date night can top anything you'll get up to away from home!
So, to help you to plan the perfect romantic night in, here are a few tips on how you might be able to surprise your significant other right at home.
Create an atmosphere
The home - whether you share one or you simply spend time at one of your apartments - is not a naturally romantic place. You're used to it, you spend more time there than anywhere else, and while it's (hopefully) comfortable, it probably doesn't scream romance without any help. So spice it up a bit! Figure out a time when your significant other won't be around and create an atmosphere - dim the lights, put on some low key romantic music, stock the room with Yankee candles, etc. You can even set up a special little romantic table by a window you don't ordinarily eat at and have chocolate-dipped strawberries waiting on plates! Whatever you want - just make sure to tweak the home environment noticeably.
Buy a selection of wine
One of the worst tips you'll ever see for a home date night is to "pick out the perfect bottle of wine." Well, unless you and your loved one happen to have a favourite bottle that you only drink on special occasions, this is easier said than done. You'll probably end up just spending more money on a bottle you have no idea if he or she will enjoy! Instead, check out Majestic Wine online and order a mixed case, or a few varied bottles, and have fun sampling different wines as part of the evening.
Buy a new mattress
This tip is a but more unorthodox, but it's an incredible tactic for a romantic night in. Some time in advance of the date night, try to visit Dreams for a look at a variety of mattress options, and try to find something that strikes you as particularly comfortable. At this particular store, you'll find a variety of mattress types and materials, as well as guides to help you find the most comfortable fit, so it's quite easy to find a mattress that makes you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. If you can find the right one and have it set up before date night begins, then you have the ultimate tool for kicking things up a notch: you can get the night going pretty quickly by casually mentioning that you've just bought really comfortable new mattress.
