Jaipur Offbeat-memorable walk with Virasat Experiences
Below: View of entrance from Durbar hall
to give separate access to staff. An escape path also is believed to exist somewhere deep inside.
We were shown the inside rooms, where members of royal family could take refuge during severe weather- Rajasthan gets extremely hot in summer plus strong winds and storms make outdoor living difficult- the walls of the palace were built so thick, it could successfully maintain a cooler temperate inside and offer protection from both elements and enemy attacks.
The whole building, though still physically very strong, has its exteriors deteriorating over time. There is no king to patron and government has no intention to renovate it unless they get to own it. So the interiors are maintained with bare minimum money the priest's family can afford.
Here's a route map of our walk- not too long [Map link]

Abbott and Rumfola Earn Final NAIA Women's Soccer Player of the Week Honors
Contact: Amanda Dahl, NAIA Manager of Sports Information & Media Services, email@example.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kristin Abbott of Spring Arbor (Mich.) has been named NAIA National Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week and California Baptist's Katie Rumfola has been tabbed NAIA National Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Abbott and Rumfola were selected based on their performances from Nov. 1 - 7 and were chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings. Abbott and Rumfola are the final honorees of the 2010 season.
Abbott notched her first career hat trick to lead the charge for Spring Arbor en route to a 6-1 Mid-Central College Conference semifinal victory over Taylor (Ind.) on Oct. 6. The senior midfielder/forward also dished out an assist and the game-winner in the match for a total of seven points in the contest. Abbott has scored 12 goals and handed out 14 assists for the Cougars, who have won nine straight matches and have outscored opponents 45-3 over that stretch.
A native of Troy, Mich., Abbott's 14 total assists rank 10th nationally and her average of 0.78 assists per game is listed 12th.
Rumfola's save in the fifth-round of a shootout with No. 7 The Master's (Calif.) helped the Lancers clinch a spot in the Golden State Athletic Conference championship game, advancing on penalty kicks 5-4. The shootout occurred after both teams battled to a 1-1 double-overtime draw. The freshman keeper finished the game with nine saves in 110 minutes of work in the box. Rumfola, a native of Fullerton, Calif., posted five saves to lift No. 9 California Baptist to a 3-1 quarterfinal win over Biola (Calif.).

Andrew Sullivan
I spent the better part of an hour earlier today scanning the various sites and blogs to try and understand what specifically the Fox-Pajamas tea parties are about. Having absorbed about as much of the literature as I can, I have to say I'm still befuddled.
Option 1: It's a protest of the bank bailouts orchestrated by Bush and now Obama. But surely these tea-partiers understand what would happen if we didn't bail the banks out. Are they advocating letting major banks fail? Or are they advocating a Krugman-style government take-over? No idea.
Option 2: It's a protest against tax hikes. But there have barely been any! Are they arguing that the planned return to Clinton era marginal rates is an outrage worthy of the colonists ... only months after an election in which the winning candidate ran on exactly that platform? Is that postponed future increase so radical that it demands a protest modeled on one in which people were taxed with no representation at all? Truly bizarre. And when you consider that we have gone through a very long period of relatively low taxation for the very successful, and a very long period in which their wealth has soared, and after an election where a majority of such people voted for Obama, the extremism seems unrelated to anything substantive underneath it.
Option 3: It's a protest against illegal immigration. Ok, so why the tea? Weren't all the original tea-partiers illegal immigrants?
Option 4: It's a protest against government debt. Yay! I will leave aside the somewhat awkward fact that Fox News and Pajamas Media barely covered the massive debt racked up by the Republicans during a period of economic growth. Instead, I'll proffer a simple point: If the tea-partiers are concerned about debt and concerned about taxes, one presumes they favor drastic spending cuts. But what are the tea-partiers proposing to do to Medicare, Medicaid, and social security?
I'd love to see a proposal that they support on any of these entitlement programs, but particularly Medicare which is the culprit for much of the debt burden. Where is it? Or are we really going to hear more diversions about "pork"?
As a fiscal conservative who actually believed in those principles when the Republicans were in power, I guess I should be happy at this phenomenon. And I would be if it had any intellectual honesty, any positive proposals, and any recognizable point. What it looks like to me is some kind of amorphous, generalized rage on the part of those who were used to running the country and now don't feel part of the culture at all. But the only word for that is: tantrum.
These are not tea-parties. They are tea-tantrums. And the adolescent, unserious hysteria is a function not of a movement regrouping and refinding itself. It's a function of a movement's intellectual collapse and a party's fast-accelerating nervous breakdown.

As you're probably aware (and if you aren't, you should be!), computer viruses, Trojan horses, and other assorted malicious code-nastiness pose a major security threat to networked systems. On a constantly changing and growing global network the size of the Internet, it's simply impossible to keep viruses and their brethren at bay. The truth is, infected code of one form or another runs rampant in many systems, and code safety is a major concern for developers and for users of Internet applications (including ActiveX controls).
For example, it's possible that a perfectly harmless-looking ActiveX control, executable file, or code from unknown sites or authors could wipe out a user's entire system before he knew what hit him! Worse yet, perfectly harmless code created by one programmer could be tampered with and altered by some other, malicious programmer after its release, possibly wreaking havoc on the systems of users who download and execute the altered code!
Addressing Security Issues
There are two basic ways to address the Internet security issue:
- Sandboxing. This term refers to restricting an application to a certain set of APIs, excluding those that would enable file I/O and other potentially dangerous function groups that could alter or destroy data on a user's system. This security method assumes that you trust the application won't do any harm, and that you trust the source of the application to not act maliciously.
- Shrinkwrapping. This security method uses specially encrypted digital signatures. A shrinkwrapped product verifies signed code with a private-key/public-key verification scheme. Before any signed code is allowed to execute on a user's machine, its digital signature is verified. This verification process ensures that the code hasn't been tampered with since the code was signed, and it also ensures that the code is from a known, authenticated source.
Digital Code Signing
Digital code signatures are used to verify code authenticity and also to identify and provide details about the publisher of the code. Digital signatures are an industry standard supported by many Web browsers. Such browsers enable a user to choose whether to download and execute code of unknown or suspicious origin.
For the most up-to-date information about digital code signing, an industry standard, access the Web site for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at this URL
Signed Code and Code Certificates
As an independent software vendor (ISV) who wants to use the benefits of digital code signatures in your applications, you must get something called certificates from a certificate authority (CA), a third-party company known and trusted by the industry. After a CA verifies that you comply with W3C policies, the CA issues you a digital certificate file for use in code signing. The certificate file contains important information, including the name of the software publisher, your public encryption key, the name of the CA's certificate, and more.
Public and Private Encryption Keys
Public and private keys are created by you for use in encrypting the digital signature block used to verify your code's authenticity. Both keys are created by you, but the private key remains your little secret. The public key must be checked by the CA to ensure that it's unique.
Signing Your Code
You need special tools to sign your code, and these are available in the ActiveX Development Kit, available from Microsoft on CD-ROM and online at the following URL:
Fully debugged, release-ready code is run through a hash function that produces a fixed-length code digest. You then encrypt this digest with your private key and combine it with your certificate file. The result is linked back into your executable file. Presto! Your digitally signed masterpiece is ready for distribution over the Internet. The tools used for code signing are listed in Table 16.1 and are available in the ActiveX SDK.
|A tool that creates a fake certificate for development purposes.
|The tool used to build a signature block from your certificate.
|A tool that links the signature block into your executable.
|A tool that verifies that code has been successfully signed.
Considering the Cash Factor
As you've seen, code signing is a robust system for creating trustworthy code. Users can rest assured that signed code is safe to download and execute. The nagging question in your mind at this point is probably, "How much does a certificate cost?" Good question!
Microsoft estimates that commercial software publishers will pay around $400 U.S. dollars for the initial certificate and around $300 for an annual renewal. Certificates for individual software publishers will ring in at about $20.

A New Playing Field for Democracy Reform
To win substantive reforms, our system is overdue for structural reforms. 2018 creates an opening.Miles Rapoport & Cecily HinesDec 24, 2018
This article appears in the Winter 2019 issue of The American Prospect magazine. Subscribe here . So, it looks like Fixing Our Democracy is officially Cool. Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats have announced that their first bill out of the box—H.R. 1—will be an omnibus democracy reform bill including voting rights, partisan gerrymandering, campaign-finance reform, and ethics reform. For many people who have worked on these issues for years, this is a significant moment. Of course, there is the Senate, and the president, so no one thinks H.R. 1 will become law in anything close to its original form. But the message is major: that putting democracy reform front and center is not just "good government"; it is good politics.

The Good News from the Voting Wars
How hard-won expansion of voting possibilities could raise turnout, boost the wave—and help our democracyMiles Rapoport & Cecily HinesOct 03, 2018
This article appears in the Fall 2018 issue of The American Prospect. Subscribe here . The 2018 midterm election is often depicted as a contest between crude voter suppression by Republican state governments and a national blue-wave mobilization of grassroots Democrats. But the story is actually more complicated and even more hopeful. In addition to the party organizing this year, a two-decade nonpartisan movement to expand access to the ballot is also bearing fruit across the country. The result could be a dramatic expansion of voting participation that swamps suppression efforts, enhances voter-mobilization efforts, and shatters the usual low expectations of off-year voting turnout. The attempt at voter suppression, of course, is real. It is a dark part of the playbook that some—though by no means all—states under Republican control have promoted to retain their power. After the Tea Party wave of 2010, the most recent chapter in longstanding efforts to restrict the vote...

Alleluia! The bread is risen.
Saturday, 23 April 2011 § Leave a comment
Well, that was… I don't even know what it was. It's over, is the main thing. The exam was a four-hour timed sit-down — thankfully, I was allowed to write on my own computer. Four questions: choose one from the first two and one from the second. I had somewhat anticipated variants of two of them, and felt like I could have answered the third, too. And as for the fourth… well… let's just say it's a good thing that I have a week to keep studying between my last exam and the orals. It's a question I should be able to answer, but, well, I'm glad I could choose not to. The exam itself wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I was still pretty much useless for the rest of the day. I came home, put on my PJ's, poured a glass of wine, and watched crappy internet television.
The last exam starts Monday, though part of it is a syllabus I've technically been working on for while. And I'm using technically in a very loose sense there. You know, kind of like how everything's a "technology" now, where it used to be a "discourse" (or ruin, or trace, or topos): books, knowledge, Being, etc. Add to that list: thinking but not actually working. Whee.
As you all know by now, my MO is stress baking. And so this morning, I mixed up a batch of Austrian Easter Bread (Osterbrot). Last year my friend and upstairs neighbor invited me to his Easter brunch, and I made a couple of loaves of his mom's Osterbrot. Here's last year's:
Each of those was a full batch of dough; this year, I've made one batch and divided it into four loaves because y'all, that is a lot of Brot.
The bread itself is very similar to a Challah dough: enriched, yeast-leavened, but minus the eggs in the dough. Want the recipe? Here it is. Just don't tell my dear neighbor that I'm giving away his heirloom, kthanks.
1 Kilo All-purpose four
100 g softened butter
200 g Sugar (or less for a less-sweet bread)
1 tsp salt
½ L Milk
30 g fresh yeast or. 2 Packets active dry yeast
Spices: anise (fennel if you can't find star anise); zest of one lemon
Optional addition: raisins
Add the anise and lemon zest to the milk and heat gently in a saucepan. Turn off heat, and leave to cool and steep, approximately half an hour or until milk is lukewarm. Transfer the milk to a mixing bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it. Let the yeast proof approx. 15 minutes. Then add 3/4 of the flour, the salt, and the sugar. mix until it forms a rough dough. Then add the softened butter in chunks. Add the last of the flour (and raisins, if you're using them), and knead either by hand or with a stand mixer until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a light towel, and place in a warm place to rise (mine likes to rise on top of my stove). Let rise until doubled, gently punch down, and let it rise until doubled again. Since this dough is full of yeast and is sugary, the rise will be really fast. I had to run down to the store [damn you, clogged drains] during the second rise today, and was gone for maybe an hour; when I came back, the dough had nearly tripled.)
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Again, one batch of this makes a HUGE loaf, so I suggest you divide it. Two, three, or four loaves would be fine. So divide your dough into X sections, where x = the number of loaves you wish to make. Now: decide if you're going to do a three or four-strand braid (I did 4, but I think 3 is traditional for Easter, you know, with the trinity and whatnot). Then, divide each section into 3 (or 4) subsections and roll each out into a rope approximately 1 inch wide. Mine ended up being about a foot long. Then braid them. And repeat for each of your X sections.
Place the loaves on a baking sheet lined either with parchment paper or a Silpat. Let them rise again for about an hour, maybe longer, until approximately doubled. It doesn't have to be exact. When you figure they're about ready, preheat your oven to 350 (F). Beat an egg and smear it on top of the loaves, then, if you're feeling really fancy, sprinkle some turbinado or raw sugar on top. Bake the loaves until deep golden brown on top. Since my oven is heart-breakingly small, I baked them two at a time. For one large loaf, this will be about an hour; for smaller ones, start checking them at half an hour. If you find that the top is getting very dark but the crumb isn't baked all the way through yet, lower the temperature to 300. Cool on a rack. Then nom. If the bread lasts long enough to go stale, breads like this make a decadent french toast. (Just sayin'.)
Really, this is a super-easy recipe, and a great bread recipe to start with if you're convinced that you in fact cannot bake bread to save your life. Trust me. It's really, really hard to screw this one up.
So, now that the bread is risen, so are my spirits, and I'm off to conquer this syllabus. Onward-ho!

Stars: 4.5 of 5.
Running Time: 86 minutes.
Notable Cast or Crew: Lon Chaney (THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, THE PENALTY, THE UNKNOWN), Mae Busch (FOOLISH WIVES, ALIBI), Matt Moore (COQUETTE, SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS), Victor McLaglen (THE INFORMER, GUNGA DIN), Harry Earles (THE WIZARD OF OZ, FREAKS), Edward Connelly (THE SAPHEAD, THE MYSTERIOUS LADY). Directed by Tod Browning (FREAKS, DRACULA, THE UNKNOWN).
Tag-line: "A Metro Goldwyn Picture."
Best one-liner: "If you tip that boob off to who we are, I'll lay some lilies under your chin!"
Though I don't believe he's ever been discussed on this site until today, I'm of the opinion that Lon Chaney might be the greatest actor who ever lived. From his achievements in self-mutilation to his mind-blowing makeup effects to his mastery of the crazy-eye to his portrayals of mad jealousy, mangling frustration, and unfettered pathos; he assembled a vast body of work that really can't be matched for variety, commitment, or poignancy- and half of his films are lost! Most are familiar with his turns in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, but others, such as THE PENALTY, THE UNKNOWN, and HE WHO GETS SLAPPED reveal layers of brilliance that his most iconic films can only hint at. Some of my favorite Chaney anecdotes include:
•his performance in 1927's TELL IT TO THE MARINES was so convincing that the powers that be made him an honorary marine.
•a 1928 murderer claimed that Chaney's performance in LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT was so disturbing that it drove him insane.
•the apparatus worn by Chaney in THE PENALTY to make him appear legless caused permanent muscle damage and was so painful he could only wear it and film for a few minutes at a time before there was the chance he would lose consciousness. Take that, actors' unions!
Regardless, the film at hand is 1925 version of THE UNHOLY THREE. Directed by Tod Browning, who collaborated with Chaney on ten films from 1919-1929, it was later remade (as a sound film) with most of the same principals (including Chaney). While I haven't yet had the chance to see that version, most scholars tend to prefer the original.
The plot is truly whacked-out: a ventriloquist (Chaney), a midget (Harry Earles), and a strongman (Victor McLaglen) escape their day jobs at the carnival in order to perpetuate a long con at a pet shop where they pose as a sweet old lady (Chaney), a baby (Earles), and a regular dude (McLaglen), respectively. I don't wish to reveal too much beyond that, so here are- delightfully out of context- my eight favorite things about THE UNHOLY THREE.
#1. When we first meet Chaney's 'Professor Echo,' he's delighting the crowd with his well-cultured comedic stylings, featuring such rib-ticklers as the following:
It's almost an anti-joke, with a sort of amazing anti-climactic punchline. I love it. Afterward, he tries to sell his illustrious joke-book to the crowd- no wonder he got into a life of crime!
#2. When we first meet Tweedledee the Midget, he's raging on a stage across from Chaney's ventriloquism act. Actor Harry Earles may have the facial resemblance and stature of a baby, but his gnarled, take-no-shit-from-anyone, Edward G. Robinson-style countenance must be seen to be believed.
Then this guy down here, with a smirking little tot upon his shoulder, begins to heckle our dear Tweedledee...
...who commences to–
Now that is a character introduction, ladies and gentlemen. As an asskicker, I suppose that Harry Earles was the Weng Weng of his day.
#3. The leering grin and psychotic gaze of Lon Chaney, whenever he lays out an evil master plan. 'Unholy,' indeed! I believe that the same expression rests upon his face in THE PENALTY when he explains his insanely complex scheme in that film (which involves a sweatshop of women making hats!).
Also: Tod Browning's use of shadow whenever Chaney lays out an evil master plan.
#4. The disguises. While Victor McLaglen just has to take off his Tarzan/Hercules costume and put on some regular clothes, Chaney and Earles undergo complete physical transformations.
Earles sells us on the baby 100%, and as soon as the victims leave the room, he whips out the cigars that he keeps hidden in his diaper and lights one up. Overall, his movements and facial contortions are so uncannily accurate that you'll probably be taking a closer, warier look into the strollers you pass on the street each day. One of them might conceal a murderous jewel thief.
As Granny O'Grady, Chaney combines wig, posture, gesture, and costume (check out those lacy half-gloves!) into a flawless impersonation.
The lengths to which he perfected his gestures become especially evident when, for example, in a scene where a mark looks away and Chaney must accomplish something rapidly, out of character, but still in costume. You- like his unwitting victims- are lulled and have become unaware of the extent of the deception! Also, it's terrific to see him quickly pull off the wig and start yelling at his fellow crooks:
#5. Oh, and did I mention this is a Christmas movie, too?
#6. One of Chaney's cons involves tricking prospective pet shop customers into believing that his deadbeat parrots are of the learned, talkative variety. Of course, being a ventriloquist, he can fool the patrons quite easily. But how to visualize the act of birds 'speaking' in a silent film?...
It's pretty damned great.
#7. The courtroom scene. I won't give away any of the actual proceedings, but suffice to say, it allows for some fine character-acting. The judge, played by Edward Connelly, has that elitist gaunt-faced malice later realized in our era by the likes of Peter Cushing and Angus Scrimm. He's superb.
Chaney, on the other hand, embodies absolute anxiety to perfection.
In silent cinema, so many emotions run purer and freer: here, we can look past the traditional 'will-he-get-caught' pretense and look at Chaney embodying the entire concept of human frustration, the idea of an unscratchable itch. Bravo.
(And as a side note, in THE UNKNOWN, he takes this to a whole new level when he...shall we say... has a rather... disarming epiphany.)
In the end, while THE UNHOLY THREE is by no means my favorite of Chaney's films, or even my most loved of the off-the-deep-end collaborations of Chaney and Browning, it's another fundamental example of the man's genius and a 'gift from the past' of true imagination and unhinged virtuousity. Four and a half stars.

NICE article! — if I do say so myself.
Thanks for the column inches.
All the best,

Thanks for stoppin' by Mr. Chaney, glad to be of service!

Very amusing review of an equally amusing film! The picture of Harry Earles doing a roundhouse kick at that kid's head is really a sight to behold.

- Sean Gill said...
Thank you for the kind words. And God bless Harry Earles!
- July 22, 2013 at 12:31 PM
Indeed, Sean! Although I appreciate Chaney's performance, Earles in all of his 3'3" glory really stole the show in my opinion.
- August 4, 2013 at 1:11 PM
Wasn't Earles also the little guy in Freaks? He was able to pull off playing evil pretty well in this movie.

Kit Kelley,
He was indeed! He's one of the greats, as far as I'm concerned.

The Fender Squier Classic Vibe '70s Precision Bass (Black) is a 4-string Electric Bass which evokes the look and vibe from that musically adventurous era. The smartly alluring all-black look of the Classic Vibe '70s Precision Bass extends to the pickguard, the finger rest and, in a stylish touch, the binding and block inlays on the Maple fingerboard. The split-single-coil pick-up delivers classic Precision muscle, and the Hi-Mass bridge with brass 'barrel' saddles keeps intonation rock solid.
The main features of the Fender Squier Classic Vibe '70s Precision Bass (Black) include:

Russian Orthodox leaders, anxious about growing Protestant churches and the Vatican's plans to strengthen its Russian presence, are pressuring local and national officials to expand privileges for "traditional" religions.
According to Operation World estimates, both Protestants and Catholics in Russia are growing about 3 percent annually. Russian Orthodoxy shows few signs of any demographic growth.
New legislation that may come before the Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament, would expand special treatment of Orthodox leaders, including granting them free time on state television and better access to other state media. The Duma has responded to Orthodox pressure in the past. At the urging of Orthodox leaders, the Duma passed a national law in 1997 that restricted the basic freedoms of religious minorities.
Protestants, Catholics, and other non-Orthodox groups are persistently harassed throughout Russia.
For example, when Baptist Dmitry Mannikov moved late last year to the tiny Siberian settlement of Ugut to evangelize ethnic Khanty inhabitants, the local Russian Orthodox elder threatened to call in the FSB (successor to the KGB). The elder later distributed a leaflet, "Against the Sect." During February and March, local police repeatedly summoned Mannikov and his small band of converts for intense questioning.
"The Orthodox, unfortunately, are seeking state help in maintaining [Orthodoxy's] favored position in Russia," says Mark Elliott of the Institute for East-West Christian Studies at Samford University in Alabama. "The 1997 law on religion illustrates this."
Under existing law, a religious organization is placed on probation for 15 years if it was not registered before 1997, unable to prove 15 years of existence in the ...1

The Heat sure do know how to rub it in.
The reigning NBA champions will raise their banner and receive their rings in a pregame ceremony Oct. 30, shortly before opening the season with a game against the Celtics, according to a report in the Sun-Sentinel.
The Celtics pushed the Heat to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals before Miami trounced the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games in the NBA Finals. In addition to being the first matchup between the teams since Game 7 of the conference Finals in June, the game will also mark the first time Ray Allen will take on his former team.
The Heat and Thunder will play a rematch of the Finals on Christmas Day, according to the report.

Sigma-Aldrich and Nanosys Enter into Distribution Agreement to Supply Materials to the Research Community
Global Availability of Silicon Nanowires via Aldrich® Materials Science Paves Way for Innovation and Application Development Across Areas Such as Bio-Informatics, Electronics and Clean Energy
ST. LOUIS, MO. – November 29, 2010 – Sigma-Aldrich (Nasdaq: SIAL) today announced a distribution agreement with Nanosys, Inc., an advanced materials architect. Under the agreement, Sigma-Aldrich, through its Aldrich Materials Science business, is now distributing Nanosys-created silicon nanowires to the global scientific research community for the development of new applications in technologies such as solid-state lighting, electronics and energy storage.
"As Aldrich Materials Science continues to expand its nanomaterials offer, we are pleased to introduce an innovative line of silicon nanowires that includes undoped silicon nanowires as well as the higher conductivity, boron-doped nanowires," said Dr. Kaushik Patel, Product Manager, Aldrich Materials Science. "The applications of these nanowires are, we believe, truly innovative and revolutionary. The fabrication of nanowires is challenging; therefore, a consistent and high-quality supply of these materials from Aldrich Materials Science is expected to enable scientists to accelerate their research to further develop a variety of new high-technology applications that can continue to open up exciting end product markets. In all aspects of the Aldrich Materials Science business, from manufacturing and custom R&D to distribution of materials from leading-edge technology companies such as Nanosys, we strive to fulfill our mission of focusing on materials so that our research customers can focus on results."
"Architected and synthesized at the atomic level, our materials deliver exponential improvements in efficiency and performance," added Jason Hartlove, CEO of Nanosys. "This new distribution agreement with Sigma-Aldrich puts our technology directly into the hands of researchers who are doing exciting work in labs around the world, driving the use of architected material solutions in a new generation of markets and applications."
Nanosys silicon nanowires, which demonstrate semiconductor properties, are comprised of single crystal silicon grown using the vapor liquid solid (VLS) process to a diameter of 150 nm and a length of 20 μm. The materials are available undoped or as activated boron-doped p-type silicon nanowires with 1×1019 /cm3 doping at ends and a 3 μm intrinsic region in the center of the wire. Polydispersed silicon nanowires of various lengths that are designed for use in energy research are also expected to be available beginning January 2011.
Across an increasingly diverse range of applications, silicon nanowires can deliver tangible benefits and significant advances. Examples include:
• Electronics applications – sensors can be constructed from nanowire arrays that act as a highly sensitive 'e-skin' which could be used to restore the sense of touch to patients with prosthetic limbs or to enable robotic systems to 'sense' pressure. • Solar cells – Research conducted earlier in 2010 found that fabricating thin films from ordered arrays of vertical silicon nanowires significantly increased the light-trapping properties in solar cells, compared to conventional silicon thin film photovoltaics. • Batteries – Nanowire technology is enabling the production of batteries that are more economical, longer lasting, smaller and more environmentally friendly. Nanowires are used to increase the surface area for electrolyte reaction, thereby enabling greater power in a smaller overall footprint.

Cerritos Family Portraits
Kevin and his teenage daughters came to Cabo for summer vacations. While here they got to explore other parts of the region such as the Pacific coast where the small town of Todos Santos is located. They stayed at the surf beach of Cerritos where I visited the beautiful Hacienda Hotel perched on the hill and where they got to play at the beach.
For a dad to get photos with his teenage daughter is not the most common thing, and isn't that a shame? These three had a great dynamic to show for the photos and one can sense the fun of summer during the whole time we spent together.
Not a lot of fuss was made regarding outfits, everybody was there to enjoy the beach and this special summer treat. At the end we got to play with sparklers, which is never a bad idea.

Technically the title of the chair says it all. The Sleed is a nesting chair inspired by that of a sled, making it easier for multiple ones to be stacked onto each other with no need for lifting.
The Sleed was designed by Choi Minsoo, who made chairs whose legs are fashioned somewhat similar to that of an edge of a sled. The chairs should be neat for folks who hold occasions or have limited space, the stacking feature of which makes it a great space saver.
The chairs are sturdy and composed of polypropylene with glass fiber reinforcement, and can be produced in various colors. It is efficiently manufactured with a single injection molding process.

Art Lounge: Week 6
It was a rare, beautiful late afternoon and we had cabin fever. So we hoofed it down Main Street to check out our installation, our big project space at Corner Greer It will be a display in three large window spaces. We spent lots of time brainstorming 3D materials and concepts. I agreed to take all of their wonderful input and create a proposal for them to approve, amend, or throw out altogether. On the way back to the art center, we fell in love with our shadows.

What a great outing in Carthage! Spent time at Drawn Together Studio with artists Sarah Huntley, Stacy Smith, and Kristin Huke. They talked about their artist lives, and how the studio started. So generous with their time and hearts. Thanks, ladies! After, we walked up the street to my house, and we dined on homemade mac and cheese and garlic bread. It was fun for the students to see my living and studio space.

Raygun has customizable dashboards, so you only see information you care about. This documentation will show you how to view and edit your dashboards.
Viewing your dashboards
To locate your dashboards, click on the button in the top left corner of the Raygun application. Within the drop down, switch to the Dashboards tab to view the dashboards you have access to. Click any listed dashboard to view it. Dashboards belong to plans, so if you are a member of multiple plans, you can switch between them by clicking the plan in the left hand margin of the drop down.
Primary dashboard
One of the dashboards in the image above has been labeled as Primary. Most plans have a primary dashboard that can be customized just like any other dashboard, but has a few special characteristics. The Primary dashboard starts off with a preset layout of tiles using data from your top 5 applications with the most data. The Primary dashboard has a Reset function that reverts any customizations back to the preset tile layout using data from your top 5 applications at the time of reset. The primary dashboard can not be deleted.
Legacy dashboard
Another dashboard in the image above is labeled as Legacy. This will link you to the old global dashboard which can not be customized. Note that this will only be available to plans that have had a legacy dashboard. Newly created plans only have customizable dashboards.
Create custom dashboards from your APM, error and RUM data
At the core of the Dashboard is the ability to provide your team with a high level view of the health of your application. It does this with customizable dashboard tiles that can be dragged, dropped and edited as you see fit.
The data is 100% customizable and you can add as many product "tiles" onto a dashboard as you wish. Whether you need to understand more about the locations of your end users or how many are experiencing crashes in real time, Raygun will present what you need in a beautiful and user friendly Dashboard.
Here is the list of tiles you can add to your dashboard, sort by products:
- Crash Reporting
- Real User Monitoring
- Other/Shared
Crash Reporting
- Error instances*
- Error groups count*
- Recent crashes
- Error groups*
- Errors per app*
- Error count*
* Can be filtered by error group status (e.g. Active, Resolved, Ignored, or Permanently ignored). See [Filtering a tile by status below.
Real User Monitoring
- Total users
- New users
- User satisfaction
- Sessions
- Median session length
- Average load time
- Health score
- Returning users
- User count
- Session count
- Live health score
- Live sessions
- Live users
- Live load time
- Load time distribution
- Session distribution
- Live active sessions
These tiles are only available if you've been granted beta access to Raygun APM.
- Apdex
- Requests per minute (RPM)
- Average request breakdown
- Request execution speeds
- Crash-free users (requires Crash Reporting and Real User Monitoring)
- Audit log (Only available for selected plan types)
Editing a dashboard
In order to make any changes at all to a customizable dashboard, you first need to switch the dashboard into edit mode. To do this, click the "Edit dashboard" button in the top right corner of a dashboard.
Saving changes
It's important to note that none of the changes that you make to a dashboard will be persisted until you press the green "Save changes" button in the edit bar. This applies to all of the editing functions documented in the following sections. Make sure to always save any changes you're happy with before navigating away from the dashboard you're working on. After saving changes, the dashboard will switch out of edit mode.
In order to avoid accidental saves, you'll need to click the check box and then hit "Yes, save" in the modal that appears. Everyone who can view the dashboard will see the changes that you save.
Canceling changes
If you've made some changes to a dashboard but then want to cancel them rather than saving, click the "X" button on the right hand side of the edit bar. This will reload the dashboard and switch out of edit mode.
Since this operation is going to lose your unsaved changes, you'll need to click the check box and then hit "Yes, revert" in the modal that appears. If you don't see this modal, then no changes were made to the dashboard.
Renaming a dashboard
While in edit mode, a pencil icon will appear next to the dashboard's header. Click anywhere on the title or pencil icon, and then type in the title you want for your dashboard. The title is used to identify your dashboard in theswitcher view, so it helps to give your dashboards unique and meaningful names.
Adding a tile
A tile is a component of information from the Raygun Platform, such as a list of errors or a time series chart of user sessions. The highlight of Raygun dashboards are the highly configurable tiles. You can add as many tiles as you need, and can even add the same type of tile multiple times and configure them differently.
1. To add a tile, first make sure the dashboard is in edit mode.
2. In the edit bar, click on the blue "Add tile" button.
3. You'll be presented with a modal listing the various tiles you can add to your dashboard. Note that some tiles may not be available to you if you have no applications with Raygun Crash Reporting or Pulse (RUM) data. The modal allows you to search by name, and sort by name or tile type to help you find what you want to add to your dashboard. Click the blue "Select" button next to a listed tile that you want to add to your dashboard.
4. To finish up, configure the tile with the data you want to display.
- Most tiles have a title that gets displayed in their headers.
- Some tiles have a date range to fetch the data from, whereas other tiles represent live values of what's happening right now.
- Use the "Select application" drop down to specify where to source the tiles data from. A single tile can source data from any number of your applications.
- The above image is just one example of configuring a tile. Different types of tiles can have different options specific to what they display.
5. The blue "Add tile" button will be disabled until you've configured enough information for the tile to display data. The main thing you usually need to add is the applications to fetch the data from. Once you're ready, click "Add tile" for the tile to be added to your dashboard which will then scroll into view.
Moving a tile
Any of the tiles can be moved around while the dashboard is in edit mode. This allows you to customize the tile layout and display them in a preferred arrangement.
Move a tile by holding down the left mouse button over any non-interactive area of a tile. Then, drag and drop the tile to another place on the grid. As you drag a tile around, other tiles will move out of the way, and when dropped, the tile will automatically snap to the grid.
Resizing a tile
No customizable dashboard can be without the ability to resize tiles, which aids in achieving your ideal tile layout.
While the dashboard is in edit mode, drag the arrow in the bottom right corner of any tile to resize it.
Just like moving a tile, the dimensions of the tile will snap to the grid when the resize handle is dropped. Some tiles have a minimum size, (e.g. 2x3 grid units), and cannot be resized smaller than their minimum.
Configuring a tile
Any options that you configure while adding a tile can be revisited. To open the tile configuration modal, make sure the dashboard is in edit mode, then click the cog icon in the top right corner of any tile you want to edit.
Once you're done editing any of the tile's options, click the green "Apply" button.
Filtering a tile by status
The marked tiles above under Crash Reporting can be filtered by error group status. Error group statuses include: Active, Resolved, Ignored, and Permanently ignored.
Relevant tiles
The error-based tiles which can be filtered by status are:
- Error count
- Error groups
- Errors per app
- Error instances
- Error Groups count
To apply a status filter:
1. Click the Edit Dashboard in the top-right corner of the page
2. Click the settings icon in the top-right corner of the error-based tile you want to filter and you'll see the Statuses to include list.
3. Check the Resolved option, and change the title to reflect the new status (optional)
4. The error group list tile will now only show Resolved error groups
Tiles that require multiple products
Some tiles (such as the Crash Free Users tile) require all or multiple Raygun products to be enabled before we can accurately display the data.
For example, the Crash Free Users tile requires both Raygun Crash Reporting and Real User Monitoring to be enabled and receiving data.
With the Crash free Users tile, Raygun Crash Reporting and Real User Monitoring work together to surface the percenteage of all users who have experienced software errors over the time range. This allows you to:
- Set a benchmark around this percentage and aim to improve
- Understand which errors affect user experience, right down to the stack trace
- Give priority to the software errors affecting your User Satisfaction score
Renaming a tile
The title is one of the options available in a tile's configuration modal. If the title is the only thing you want to change on a tile, then you can alternatively edit the title in-place. When the dashboard is in edit mode, a pencil icon is displayed next to each tile's header. Clicking anywhere on the title or the pencil icon will allow you to type in a new title.
Deleting a tile
1. You can remove a tile from your dashboard while in edit mode by first clicking the cog icon in the top right corner of the tile you want to remove.
2. In the bottom left corner of the tile configuration modal, hit the "Delete" button.
3. As this is a destructive action, you'll need to check the box and click "Yes, delete" in the next modal that appears.
Clearing all tiles
If you want to re do a dashboard from scratch, you can clear the dashboard which will remove all the tiles. While in edit mode, click the "Clear" button near the left hand side of the edit bar.
This will look slightly different if you are currently working on your plan's primary dashboard.
As this operation will lose any other edits you've made while in edit mode, you'll need to click the check box and hit "Yes, clear" in the modal to avoid accidents. Note that clearing the dashboard does not persist until you're done editing.
Resetting the primary dashboard
Resetting is a function only available to a plan's primary dashboard. Resetting will find your top 5 applications with the most data and replace everything on the primary dashboard with a preset tile layout. In edit mode, click the "Reset dashboard" button within the left hand drop down of the edit bar.
This operation will lose any other edits you've made, so you'll need to click the check box and hit "Yes, reset" in order to confirm this function. Just like all other dashboard editing operations, none of the affects that resetting has on the primary dashboard will be persisted until you save changes.
Creating a dashboard
To add a whole new dashboard to your plan, open the switcher in the very top left corner of the Raygun application. If you have multiple plans, select which plan you want to add a dashboard to in the left hand margin. Make sure you're viewing the "Dashboards" tab, and then press the blue "Create dashboard" button.
The dashboard is created instantly and added to the plan. The dashboard will start out in edit mode so that you can get straight into the customizations. Remember to give your new dashboard a meaningful name. You'll need to save changes in order to persist any edits you make.
Note that different Raygun plans have different limits on how many dashboards you can create.
Deleting a dashboard
If you have a dashboard that you don't need anymore, you can delete it while the dashboard is in edit mode. Click the "Delete" button on the left hand side of the edit bar. Note that all Raygun plans have one primary dashboard that can not be deleted. If you do not see the "Delete" button, it will be because you're currently working on your plan's primary dashboard.
As this is a destructive operation that can not be undone, you'll need to click the check box and press "Yes, delete" in order to finalize this operation.
TV mode
Information displayed on your dashboards will update every few minutes, providing you with a live view. You may choose to switch to TV mode and have the dashboard on a permanent screen to monitor your applications.
You can put a dashboard into TV mode by clicking the TV icon on the right hand side of the header bar. TV mode is only available if the dashboard is not in edit mode.
In TV mode, click on the pin icon to unpin/hide the header bar. The header bar can be accessed again by moving the mouse against the top of the screen. To exit TV mode, you can either click the "X" button in the header bar, or press the Esc keyboard key.

Vendor Spotlight | Du Castel Photography/
Real, free emotion on your wedding day--a first look steeped in joyful tears; the body language of a bride and groom with their backs to the camera, anticipating the lifetime that lies ahead; a whispered word during a first dance and the smile it incites--is fleeting. That's why wedding photography is so precious and enduring.
Brad Burckel, the owner of Du Castel Photography, was a hobbyist photographer until friends asked him to shoot their wedding four years ago. Since then, he's captured nuptials throughout his home state of Alabama, as well as other weddings on a national scale. Married for seven years and motivated by the beauty of their own wedding day, Brad and his wife Mary Margaret run Du Castel together. Equipped with a still-fresh sense of how and why to cherish your wedding photographs, he works behind the camera and her on social media. They've entrusted the business to the patronage of St. Joseph.
Brad combines photojournalism with simply posed portraits and close-ups, film with digital, and color photos with black and white to produce fine art-style images that exude a gorgeously authentic timelessness. Down to the name of the business, inspired by Brad's grandmother's French maiden name (it's derived from "of the castle") there's a tangible sense of something classic about his work. Flip through Brad's portfolio and that elegant, old-world sensibility is evident in every frame, yet what truly strikes us is the purity of emotion and candor in each shot.
The poet William Blake marveled at the reality that a human person can "Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand / And Eternity in an hour." That reality is so evident in the Eucharist, and before the altar at a nuptial Mass. To have that kind of transcendence, and all its accompanying emotion, captured on film is a gift of a miracle.
From Brad: I work very hard to produce the best possible photography collection for my clients, one that truly captures their love story. With that being said, I also believe that marriage is a holy Sacrament and I try to balance the photography with the importance of the day. My own wedding day was one of the most joyful days of my life and I want this to be the case with each couple. I also focus on providing a very natural experience, and producing photographs that those closest to you will treasure.
I've been inspired by our family trips to Europe, with all its history and beauty--especially in its cathedrals. My work is inspired by photographers such as W. Eugene Smith, Rodney Smith, and Steve McCurry. My goal is classic, elegant, natural, and authentic.

Alaska Supreme Court: Write-In Name List Allowed
The ruling was good news for the campaign of incumbent U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski. She was defeated in the Republican primary by tea party favorite Joe Miller and is mounting a write-in campaign. Former Sitka Mayor Scott McAdams is the Democratic candidate in the Senate race.
The high court ruled quickly after attorneys for the state Division of Elections petitioned for a review of a ruling issued earlier Wednesday by Anchorage Superior Court Judge Frank A. Pfiffner.
Pfiffner had granted a temporary restraining order stopping state elections officials from handing out write-in candidates' names at polling places. He said allowing them to do so would violate an administrative regulation and "smacks of electioneering at the polls."
The Supreme Court said the list of registered write-in candidates must be limited to names only, with no party affiliations or other information.
Besides issuing the emergency stay, the high court said it would expedite a state petition for review of the lower court ruling. It said responses from the state Democratic and Republican parties are due by Thursday afternoon on that point.
Early voting has begun, and thousands of votes have been cast.
Until the high court rules on the petition for review, the justices said all ballots cast by voters who are provided with the list of write-in candidates should be segregated from other ballots.

Murkowski's campaign was pleased with the high court's decision.
"This stay will ensure that Alaskans can continue to get the assistance they're entitled to under law," said her campaign manager, Kevin Sweeney.
Miller's campaign did not immediately respond to an e-mail from The Associated Press seeking comment.
The Alaska Democratic Party criticized the state Division of Elections' appeal to the high court.
"What the DOE has done continues to profoundly complicate this election," Party Chairwoman Patti Higgins said. "They are throwing Alaska votes into question by first, providing the list and second, appealing the temporary restraining order."
The regulation referred to in Pfiffner's ruling reads, "Information regarding a write-in candidate may not be discussed, exhibited, or provided at the polling place, or within 200 feet of any entrance to the polling place."
The judge said the Elections Division implemented a new policy despite "surreptitiously," seeking but not receiving required permission do so from the U.S. Department of Justice under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
He enjoined the Elections Division from allowing election workers and polling place workers to post write-in candidates, to provide a list of write-in candidate names to voters or to verbally provide the names of write-in candidates to voters.
The Alaska Democratic Party sued Monday over the issue and the Republican Party of Alaska joined the lawsuit. The parties claimed the names handed out by election officials would skew voting in favor of write-in candidates.
The Murkowski campaign had intervened in the lawsuit, arguing that election officials have a broad mandate to assist voters and that the desire of voters for assistance in past court cases has trumped state rules.
At a hearing Monday, Assistant Attorney General Margaret Paton-Walsh said lists of write-in names were only intended as voter assistance and were not forms of advocacy. She said other states routinely post such information at polling places.
But in his 13-page decision, Pfiffner rejected state arguments.
"The Division's arguments that the knowledge that it has provided to voters about write-in candidates is not 'information' as that term is used in the regulation is simply wrong," he said.
The division, he said, has a duty to follow its own regulations and a last-minute interpretation was not entitled to deference. Even more shocking, he said, was the decision to move forward without obtaining required Justice Department approval.
The state justified its position by stating its requirement to aid a "qualified voter needing assistance in voting." Pfiffner said election workers were doing more than helping cast a ballot.
Voting assistance, he said, might mean helping a vision-impaired or an illiterate voter cast a ballot.
"It might include assistance in spelling a name," he said. "On the other hand, providing voters with a list of write-in candidates smacks of electioneering at the polls, particularly where this form of electioneering is specifically prohibited."
The Alaska Federation of Natives, a major backer of Murkowski, sought to intervene in the case Tuesday, claiming in a memo that Alaska Natives who may not be proficient in English would be disadvantaged if the write-in list were thrown out. The judge considered the argument and rejected it.

Monday Odds & Sodds.

One time I had a whole family of flycatchers come into my home!! Now that was funny. All babies and boy did they make a mess. I too left the door open and all they did was cry for their mama. Finally, she flew into my house and told them to come out. Which they did, one birdie at a time. My grandkids loved this happening. We all laughed and laughed. Especially as they pooped all over the place...yuck! What a mess! And did I mention they were flycatchers?? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!ReplyDelete
Enjoy each other and have a great week!!
I've never seen this movie...but I sure will try to get it. I only know of this condition through you so thanks for raising our consciousness.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your day. one love.
What with magpies and your cat's guest, this seems to be shaping up as "the summer of the birds."ReplyDelete
oh my...we had a crazy bird get in once...we have cathedral ceilings in our living room and could not get him out so finally we just eft the door open and he left eventually...glad yesterday was more relaxing...smiles.ReplyDelete
Cinner! Stopped by to tell you I love you!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comforting words at Holly's blog.
Hi Cinner, we are having beautiful weather aren't we, we have had a couple of thunder/lightening storms late evening which haven't even lasted that long.....so love the sunshine.ReplyDelete
I didn't see the movie Sat. wish I had now but I had company over.
Enjoy your day sweetie......:-) Hugs
Oh, how wonderful about the movie...it must have been so validating for you!!! I'm so thrilled that more will be aware now! You are such a beautiful lady...please do take care! You are much in my thoughts! Love, Janine XOReplyDelete
I think you did have the best day ever. Well, another one in a long line of them. Yes?ReplyDelete
Relyn, I think I have had a few in a row, the weather has been so beautiful, flowers are just starting to bloom, it was nice,so definately yes.ReplyDelete
School should be coming to an end soon, Do you so enjoy your summers.
Janine, I was amazed with the movie, I think some of it portrayed it pretty good. To me it was just so startling to see a movie about it. So you are right it did validate it for me. A new drug had been sabatoged. There are different extents of cataplexy, I would have been falling alot more, and I would not have been able to run and stay awake. I was just so glad that some awareness has been made. think of you often hugs.
Bernie, company is always nice, had some over this evening too. Did you get all your flowers yet. I was going to go look for more, but I have decided I have enough, although is there ever enough. lol. keep enjoying the weather, it is here all week.
Sema, your welcome, it is so hard losing someone you love so much. take care, I will visit soon, hugs.
Holly that is nice, I love you too. It is so nice when you pop by, how are things going...I gotta clean my washer and dryer. I have been thinking about it ever since I read your post.Hugs
Brian, I think that is the best way to do it, they will get out eventually. Hope you had a good Fathers Day, take care.ReplyDelete
Debra, hopefully things settle down now, I live in an older area, but there sure have been lots of them here. I hope you have been enjoying some of the gorgeous weather. take care. hugs.
Se'Lah, I am so glad that there is some awareness about it. When I was diagnosed, most nurses and doctors I encounter did not know about it. some take up to 2o years. It can be very scary. It was a Canadian movie, I looked to see if I could find any information about it on line and I could not. If I get it downloaded I will send a copy to you. Thanks for your interest. one love my friend. Be well.
SueAnn, I enjoyed your story, the granchildren would have love it...I have to say I have never heard of a flycatcher. will have to look it up. hope you are well. will be by to visit very soon. take care. hugs

- The TRUE Measure of Success
The TRUE Measure of Success
I'm often asked "Steve, how much money do you make per month?" Quite often, in fact. Maybe a little too often.
I hate this question because A. It's fairly rude! and B. Income "proof" is easily faked.
Instead, what I like to share are my photos from trips we've taken around the world. These can't be faked and it does prove that I'm able to live the lifestyle I often talk about.
Here are a few of my previous posts in case you've missed some of them...
I've Got the Freedom to Work Anywhere in the World
Where I've Been Lately (Spoiler: Ireland)
The Greatest Perk Internet Marketing Has to Offer
Photography is easily my biggest hobby, second only to travel. Good thing they go hand-in-hand as this allows me to share my travels with all of you.
Mind you, I didn't join Wealthy Affiliate last year, or even the year before that. I joined back in 2009 and have been busting my butt ever since.
We recently just got back from a long trip. Amanda and I spent most of March in Los Angeles and Hawaii on the Big Island and Maui. I wanted to share some of my favorite photos from the trip.
The first few days were spent around LA. We got to see some interesting sights around Venice Beach...
And the Santa Monica Pier...
Before heading to the Big Island to see the still active volcano...
And again at night...
We were able to walk through the now-cooled lava tubes as well...
And then we were off to Maui. If you've read any of my posts in the past, you'll know I have an unhealthy obsession with taking whale tours...
But I mean, come on, how could you not...
We did spend some time off the water. Here's Amanda and I at the end of one of our hikes where we found a heart-ish shaped rock...
It's also not Hawaii without a few waterfalls...
And honestly, nothing beats a Maui sunset...
They're unbelievably gorgeous.
The trip wasn't all pleasure either. We did plan the trip to meet another WA member.
That's DomW. He joined Wealthy Affiliate through me way back in 2012 and we've really been friends ever since. He did blog about the trip from his perspective here: Meeting My Mentor in Maui
It was an honor to finally meet him. I had been offering him guidance since he's joined, and these days he's inspiring ME. I even find myself turning to him for advice these days. Funny how that works.
Being able to meet Dom in Maui proves one thing really:
My story isn't unique.
And that's a good thing.
It just means that any one currently reading this post is more than capable of creating the life they want to achieve. Dom and I aren't special. We're hard workers. We know what we want to achieve in life and don't stop until we're there.
Always remember that.
WA really is a unique experience. I love the opportunities here. An' the people are so wonderful. Everyone is willing to help everyone reach their goals.
Thanks for sharing your pictures. Really beautiful. An' thanks for the inspiration.
~ Yaya
With Grace and Gratitude
very good!! I will do my best too...
People who blatantly ask how much money do you make here at WA are the same ones who ask questions on dating websites such as: How much do you weigh; how many relationships have you been in, how old are you and, of course, how much is your salary.
Your friend Dom openly showed his $$ and how it followed Craig's (labmans) idea of how the journey works. There are people who really need to see a $$ visual like that to float their boat.
His material is genuine and totally believable.
If someone was getting frustrated they would only need to read a little from one person such as yourself here at WA to get motivated again.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful pics. Hawaii and Ireland are my dream trips.
I loved Vegas and won.t let myself go back until I go I earn the trip with WA.
See you there one day!
It's people like you and Dom that makes this place so special. God bless.
Everything is possible with hard work and dedication.
Anyways, I can't wait to check out your blog posts when I get a chance!
Those pictures say a thousand words. Its nice traveling the world. Congrat on your success.
I loved the last part where you met Dom. First, it seemed just bunch of beautiful pictures, and was like, Look I traveled here, there and blah blah, but the last part turned this into great post.
Thank you for sharing!
I loved especially the photos of Hawaii, including the two near the bottom in which you captured the setting sun. I have been to Hawaii 6 times myself through the years stretching from 1981 - 2012. I was fortunate on my last trip three and a half years ago, (fall of 2012) to twice catch a perfect sunset in Waikiki; that being when the sun un-obscured by clouds sets right into the Pacific Ocean. On my 5 previous trips out to Hawaii it did not happen even once.
As far as Hawaii goes and the islands that I have managed to visit during my trips, (the Big Island, Oahu and Maui) I believe that there is no other place like it on the Planet.
Thank you for sharing these photos which gives us a glimpse into the life that both you and your wife Amanda are able to have - alongside your both continuing to build your online business.
You are a testament of what hard work and dedication can lead to and the fact that you travel more than anyone I know is a pretty good indication that this is the sort of lifestyle that you can lead while still maintaining your business, while still experiencing growth, and definitely while joining life.
Love the post Steve and some pretty awesome pics here!
I remember when asking someone what kind of job they had was just never done. It was taken as a way to size someone up without getting to know them. As for asking about pay, that definitely would have crossed a sacred line.
That said, your pictures show us all that's needed. Congratulations!

For those who don't know, Glee's Amber Riley is over in London performing as Effie in Dreamgirls on the West End. The production is rumored to be heading to Broadway. Until then, check out this video of her knocking it right on out of the damn park performing the beloved song "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" at this year's Olivier Awards (the West End's Tony Awards®).
Ask any musical theater fan and they'll tell you: you should not f*ck with this song unless you know what you're doing. Everyone: chill, though. A calm, cool, and collected Amber Riley walks out on to that stage and puts her own spin on this epic number and, quite simply, nails it. We dare you not to weep as she turns that sophisticated English audience into screaming lunatics halfway through. They are on their feet before she can get out that final whopper of a note! It is no wonder she won the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical later that evening.
SLAY, Amber. SLAYYYYYY! And let's get this production to Broadway ASAP, please!
