Do you have children? If so, I'm willing to bet that you have at least one whose personality mirrors your own. The phenomenon can be as frustrating as it is rewarding. In our family's case, it's our youngest child – my daughter – who inherited many of my traits.
She has a clear sense of right and wrong, black and white. She is headstrong, and she has a wit that's both quick and hilarious (in fact, she may have me beat in that category, but I've never told her that). She's in her mid-20s now, and we truly have become best friends. We have come to thoroughly enjoy each other's company, once we found our footing - a good balance between "parent" and "child."
Not surprisingly, this balance hasn't always graced our relationship. I suppose that's true of most mothers and daughters. What is it about that particular dynamic that can so easily get derailed during the perilous teen years? I have my own theories, as I believe that women are wired to have and govern their own space after a time. I've seen some of my girlfriends and their daughters try to navigate living under the same roof once the daughters are adults, and the results are often tense and stressful. Our daughter lived at home the year after she graduated college, and it was no picnic, believe me. Now that she has her own home, the difference is like night and day.
I'm happy to say that she actually seeks my advice now, and on topics that are weighty and of great substance. While she's not likely to ask my opinion regarding fashion (if leggings or jeans don't comprise the bottom half of an ensemble, I don't wear it), but she has come to me for advice about faith, dating, marriage, friends and most recently, career. I consider it an honor to counsel her on these things, yes because she's my daughter, but also because she's sharp and bright. And she's much more brave than I was at her age (I have told her that, and often).
Almost a year ago to the day, she landed a terrific job with a progressive, international company. She worked hard and held out for a job like this one, waiting tables to pay the bills while she searched for the right place for her to embark upon her career path. I thought that resolve was very brave; at her age, I was grateful to take the first "real" job I was offered right out of college. It was OK, but who knows what I might have landed had I been courageous enough to wait? Anyway, my husband and I were thrilled when she got this job; it's the kind of thing many people work their entire lives to achieve.
Not long ago, my daughter said to me that ultimately, this job is simply a stopover on the way to doing what she really wants to do: own her own shop or studio. She asked me, "Am I wasting my time, doing something that I know isn't what I want to do for the rest of my life?" She's seen my husband and me launch, build and sell a business over a 20-year period. She's seen me leave the corporate world to help my husband start that business and once it was healthy, I took another leap of faith to follow the dream I'd had since I was a little girl – to be a writer. I'm glad she's got those examples to follow, but I took this opportunity to tell her something that I wish I'd known at her age.
No matter what we choose to do in the workplace, in the business world, we are learning. We're learning in the best classroom in the world, and that's real life Business 101. Working for someone else, whether in a massive corporation or in a small mom-and-pop business, is the best way to learn what goes on behind the curtains of a business. I explained to her that, no matter whether your dream is becoming an author or owning an auto repair shop, those businesses have things in common: budgeting, forecasting, accounting,marketing, and more. I told her that even as a writer, I spend about 10 percent of my time actually writing, and the other 90 percent managing the business of writing. It's just a fact of life; even our "dream jobs" exist and survive as the result of a lot of hard work, continuing education, faith and our willingness to wear many hats. So no, her time in corporate America is not wasted; it's an investment. And very rarely do dream jobs magically land in one's lap; more often, they are carefully crafted.
It's gratifying and as I mentioned before, an honor, to be able to steer our children in such matters. Once we've put in 20 or so years teaching and modeling faith, character, ethics, manners, civility and such, as parents we get to pour into them as they navigate their own unique paths.
And my daughter will navigate that path without the benefit of leggings, she's informed me. We're a lot alike, but not exactly alike.

Our Favourite Travel Guitars
I recently returned from my summer holidays and can say that one of the only things I missed was my guitar. I have therefore done a bit of research on travel guitars and tested some out with the idea of buying one for myself. Below is my review of my favourite travel guitars.
As I wrote above one of the things that I miss when I am travelling, apart from family of course, is my guitar. However, the fear of having my beloved guitar stowed in the hold conjures up pictures of lost and damaged luggage. You know full well when the baggage handlers are loading the bags into the airplane they are not going to suddenly lovingly and tenderly handle your guitar.
What are my favourite travel guitar choices.
First up is the [easyazon_link identifier="B00CTUHFX4″ locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Hofner HCT Shorty Guitar[/easyazon_link]. The Hofner is perhaps the workhorse of the travel guitar world and for just over £90 you can see why it has proved to be so popular. First produced back in the 1980s the Hofner is a full scale length travel guitar which plays really well considering its size. The body of the guitar is made from basswood and the neck is maple with a rosewood fretboard. The Hofner comes armed with a single Hofner Open humbucker pick-up and features tone and volume dials. The guitar is a fairly simple affair but does exactly what it says on the label. This is a no frills travel guitar. Plugged in the guitar is surprisingly good, the humbucker gives a great sound, nice and mellow with plenty of tonal variation. The neck is comfortable to play but the action of the strings is a bit high, not a problem for me but some might like to get the action lowered. The feel of the guitar is good, it is a bit head heavy and playing it sitting down takes a bit of getting used to as it sits low in the lap due to the very small body. However, these are all minor niggles and for me this is a great little guitar, even more so when you consider the price.
You can purchase the [easyazon_link identifier="B00CTUHFX4″ locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Hofner HCT Shorty Guitar[/easyazon_link] through Amazon or Gear 4 Music.
Next up is the Snap Dragon e-Go travel guitar a guitar we covered back in July 2013. The [easyazon_link identifier="B0105XW7FW" locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Snap Dragon e-Go Folding Travel Guitar[/easyazon_link] was designed by record producer Robin Millar and engineer Gerry Dale. The pair designed the guitar so that the neck could be folded back to make the guitar extremely compact. However, the ingenious thing about the Snap Dragon is that the designer claim that when you unfold the neck the guitar will be in-tune and ready to play a claim that we found to be quite true. The Snap Dragon Tripper folding guitar features a timboo body, which is an ecologically sustainable alternative to the normal tone woods used in guitar construction. It is fitted with two mini humbucker pick-ups, a bespoke neck with 20 frets and uses the patented Evertune bridge to maintain tunning stability when the guitar is unfolded. The guitar looks great and sounds really good too but it comes in a lot more expensive then the Hofner at £325 on Amazon. However, if you are looking for a top quality travel guitar you can't do much better than the Snap Dragon.
You can purchase the [easyazon_link identifier="B0105XW7FW" locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Snap Dragon e-Go Folding Travel Guitar[/easyazon_link] through Amazon.
The draw back of the above two guitars is that you will need to take a portable amp with you if you want to play them properly. We reviewed some cost effective portable guitar amps which would fit the bill if you wanted to go electric on your travels. However, I don't want to be taking an additional piece of kit along with my guitar therefore my preferred option is to travel acoustically and there are some really good acoustic travel guitars on the market.
For me the [easyazon_link identifier="B0002IL37Y" locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Martin Steel-String Backpacker Acoustic Guitar[/easyazon_link] is a thing of real beauty, I just love the design. This is not a conventional guitar shape which may put some off but I think it is a great looking and sounding travel guitar. The guitar is a compact size, as you would expect from a travel guitar, and is made from spruce with a solid mahogany neck. The neck only has 15 frets but if you are only looking to strum out the chords this is not going to be a problem. One word of warning this guitar takes a bit of getting used to as its shape, although beautiful, makes it an interesting experience to play. The guitar is a bit neck heavy and certainly is not for playing seated with the guitar in your lap. That said once you get over this slight issue the Backpacker is a nice guitar to play.
At anywhere between £240 – £260 this is not a cheap guitar but is certainly good fun. You can buy the Matin Backpacker acoustic guitar through either [easyazon_link identifier="B0002IL37Y" locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Amazon[/easyazon_link] or Gear 4 Music.
The [easyazon_link identifier="B00E3VRHYO" locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Washburn RO10NG Rover travel acoustic guitar[/easyazon_link] is a more conventional travel acoustic guitar and so would perhaps appeal to a wider audience than the Martin Backpacker. Made from spruce with a mahogany body and neck the guitar has 17 frets which is great for running up and down the scales. The sound coming out of the Washburn is good, a little bit thin but that is similar for all the acoustics we looked at and is not surprising considering the size. The neck is comfortable to play and the guitar is well balanced. All in all the playing experience is very good with the Washburn. At a RRP of £149 this is a lot better value than the Backpacker and is also a lot easier to play, in my honest opinion. The Washburn represents a good all-round choice for an acoustic travel guitar.
The Washburn can be purchased through [easyazon_link identifier="B00E3VRHYO" locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Amazon[/easyazon_link] or Gear 4 Music with Gear 4 Music being slightly cheaper.
Our final travel guitar is the [easyazon_link identifier="B00OLR33MK" locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Lindo Voyager Electro-Acoustic travel guitar[/easyazon_link]. Lindo are a UK based guitar company who design and produce some really great guitars and this one is no exception. This is a really nice looking little travel guitar and one I certainly wouldn't mind playing when I am travelling. The guitar has a spruce top and rosewood back and sides. The neck features a rosewood 22 fret fingerboard which is a delight to play. The acoustic tone of the Voyager is great with a good mellow bass sound, surprisingly good in a guitar this size, complimented with clear treble tones. Tonally this is a well balanced guitar. However, for me, what really sets this guitar apart is the fact that it is an electro acoustic guitar as it is armed with an integrated F-4T pre-amp with built in LCD tuner. This allows you, should you want to do so, to plug into an amp and really rock the night away. For craftsmanship and quality the Voyager comes top of the pack, for me this is the complete package.
You can buy the Lindo Voyager through [easyazon_link identifier="B00OLR33MK" locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Amazon[/easyazon_link] and it will set you back around £300.
So that is it our list of our favourite travel guitars. Which one will I buy, well for sheer value for money the Hofner Shorty is hard to beat. However for me the [easyazon_link identifier="B00OLR33MK" locale="UK" nw="y" tag="topguitars08-21″ popups="n"]Lindo Voyager[/easyazon_link] is the guitar that will be accompanying me from now on whenever I am travelling.

The lawyers at Aaron Waxman & Associates are experienced with Disability, Personal Injury and Employment claims.
This is the first of two blogs posts that will explain some commonly used terms. Many insurance policies are drafted with confusing and technical terms that insurance companies repeatedly use to deny and terminate claims. One of the many ways a disability lawyer can help you is by explaining what all the terms mean in the denial letter you receive from your insurance company.
It is difficult to receive a letter stating that your application for long-term disability benefits has been declined or your long-term disability benefits are being terminated when you are in a challenging financial situation. When you don't understand what some of the terms mean in the denial letter it makes the situation that much more stressful.
It is important to hire a lawyer who understands these terms used by the insurance company and who is able to clearly explain what they mean, in language you understand. The lawyers at our firm are well versed in long-term disability matters and have helped many clients whose benefits have been denied.
Here are some commonly used terms that are important to have an understanding of:
Total Disability/Totally Disabled: Totally disability means you are reasonably unable to work. The definition was confirmed in a 1983 Supreme Court of Canada Case, Paul Revere Life Insurance Co. v. Sucharov where it was found that:
"The test of total disability is satisfied when the circumstances are such that a reasonable man would recognize that he should not engage in certain activity even though he literally is not physically unable to do so. In other words, total disability does not mean absolute physical inability to transact any kind of business pertaining to one's own occupation, but rather that there is a total disability if the insured's injuries are such that common care and prudence require him to desist from his business or occupation in order to effectuate a cure: hence, if the condition of the insured is such that in order to effect a cure or prolongation of life, common care and prudence will require that he cease work, he is totally disabled within the meaning of health or accident insurance policies".
The test is not that a person has to have an absolute physical inability, but if the injuries are such that common care and prudence require the person to stop working in order to effectuate a cure, he is totally disabled. Common sense requires you to stop working so you can focus on treatment and recovery.
Qualifying Period: A qualifying period (also known as a waiting period or elimination period) is the amount of time you must wait between the onset of disability and the first day you become eligible for long-term disability benefits. Qualifying periods for long-term disability policies range from policy to policy and can be anywhere from 105 days to 52 weeks, depending in the policy.
Definitions of Disability: In a long-term disability claim, there are 2 definitions of disability (2 "tests") you are assessed for to determine if you qualify for disability benefits. First you are assessed as to whether or not you can perform the essential duties of a) your own occupation and then you are assessed to see if you can perform the duties of any occupation. In most policies, the own occupation period lasts for 2 years, but it can be less or more, depending on the policy. It is important to read your own policy to find out what tests are applicable and when they apply.
a) Own Occupation: Own occupation refers to your pre-disability occupation (the job you held at the time your disability occurred). During the "own occupation" period of your long-term disability claim, "totally disabled" means, that as a result of injury or illness (physical or psychological), you are unable to perform the regular (essential) duties of your own occupation. This test applies to the first 24 months of disability (or the period set out in your policy). Not every group policy has an own occupation test- some policies have only an any occupation test.
b) Any Occupation: During the any occupation period, the definition of total disability changes to mean that, as a result of injury or illness (physical or psychological), you are unable to perform the regular duties of any occupation for which you are suited for (or could become qualified for) by reason of education, training or experience.
Change of Definition: The change of definition occurs when the own occupation period ends and the any occupation period begins. The definition of disability changes from own occupation to the stricter test of any occupation.
Appropriate or Reasonable Treatment: You must be under the care of a physician and receiving treatment as part of your disability claim. The treatment you receive should be appropriate and relate to your condition e.g. if you make a claim for a psychological illness, an appropriate type of treatment would be that you are under the care of a psychiatrist and psychologist and taking medications.
If you or someone you know has applied for long-term disability benefits and been denied, or were receiving long-term disability benefits and your benefits have been terminated, don't hesitate to contact the lawyers at Aaron Waxman and Associates. We have helped many clients whose long-term disability benefits have been denied and offer a free, no obligation initial consultation, which can be scheduled at a date and time that is convenient for you.

Curton Mansion
From The Urban Dead Wiki
[67,4] - [68,5] (bic) (statuses) (update)Curton Mansion
Uncaded, unlit, one corner ruined, a couple zombies inside, marked as an indoor RP
| Curton Mansion
Chancelwood [67,4], [68,4], [67,5], [68,5]
Basic Info:
Curton Mansion is a four-block mansion in the suburb of Chancelwood.
Ancient history
One of the oldest and wealthiest families in Malton, the Curton family made its fortune during the Industrial Revolution, providing iron and coal for virtually all of northern England. The progenitor of this family line, Mortimer Curton, was known to be very secretive about his wealth and had invested huge amounts of money in governmental ventures, private industries, and even colonial endeavors.
Through the next several generations, the family grew, as did their wealth. Richard Curton, the great-grandson of Mortimer, took the family's power one step further by becoming Mayor of Chancelwood, serving for over 20 years. During this time, the family also secured numerous plots of land in the city, leasing the land to various businesses and amassing political clout at the same time.
Through two world wars and numerous businesses transactions, the Curton family has remained a fixture in Malton. The most recent heir to the Curton fortune and occupant of Curton Mansion, Aleister Curton, was responsible for the construction and leasing of Curton Mall, one of Malton's most successful retail locations, as well as a member of the board of directors of NecroTech. Aleister was also rumored to have a personal interest in occult matters, having traveled the world extensively, visiting numerous locations of occult and esoteric significance.

When the Nexus 1000V was first released, the only available control mode between VSM (Virtual Supervisor Module) and VEM (Virtual Ethernet Module) was layer 2 mode. This meant that the VSM and VEM had to be layer 2 adjacent (i.e. on the same VLAN). Layer 3 control mode was released a while ago however, which meant that the VSM and VEM could be on different VLANs / subnets. L3 control also makes things slightly simpler to set up as you don't need to worry about trunking control / packet VLANs everywhere and setting up port groups for these.

- August 16, 2018ArticlesIntuition can produce feelings, emotions, sounds, images, physical sensations, dreams, heightened awareness and distractions. Everyone has intuition. Sometimes it's subtle and other times it's quite pronounced or even startling. For people who haven't had any training in how to work with their intuition, the experience of being intuitive can lead to empathic overload, fatigue, disillusionment, and confusion about what's real, what's being imagined, what's being projected, what's coming from a higher (wiser) place and what's not. Listening to intuition can be just as disturbing as attempts to ignore it because the messages may seem emotionally loaded while also being cryptic or lacking any clear direction as to how to make use of that information – much less what higher purpose it's serving or how to digest the emotional aspects of it. By learning to recognize and work with your intuition effectively, you can create a greater feeling of purpose, direction, clarity, inner peace and spiritual connection in your life. Learning how to ground your sixth sense in the practical world is essential in navigating relationships, careers, financial decisions, life transitions, and personal growth. The following 8 tips may help you to recognize the workings and value of your intuition and offer clarity about the difference between the fear-based mind and the intuitive, wise self: The purpose of your intuition is to guide you – not to scare you. Any fear-based response you have is coming from your mind – not your higher self. Cryptic messages are not necessarily warnings. They may just be an attempt from the universe to get your attention. Don't jump to conclusions. Instead, take time to listen and engage (calmly) with the energy contained within those messages. Take some deep breaths and ask your higher self for clarity. If you find yourself stirred up by your intuitive downloads, stop what you're doing and breath deeply again. Then ask your spiritual power why you're picking up that information or energy and what you can do with it. Give yourself some time to receive an answer. It may not come to you immediately. It may take several days and calm space before another message presents itself. With practice, you can learn to dialogue with your intuition so that it becomes more useful to you. If you're on empathic overload, ask yourself what emotional issues may be getting activated within yourself. What inner demons are unresolved? When you're already stirred up (or in denial) about your own emotional process, it's likely that you'll over-identify with someone else's pain. That leads to a merging of your pain and someone else's and a situation that's emotionally, psychically, and energetically murky. Do a reality check about whether your inner rescuer has been activated. Are you yearning to fix someone else? Is that your pattern? It is for a lot of empathic people as they have a tendency to try to save everyone else rather than working on themselves. Keep in mind that you'll be less effective in helping anyone else if your own emotions and energy are stirred up. If you're constantly on the go, your energy will race and you may be more likely to feel anxious. Giving yourself time-outs, time in nature, walks, hikes, swims, meditation, massage, quiet time at home and other self-care modalities will help to ground your energy and decrease your fear response. If your instincts are telling you something and you respond with an argumentative statement, you may be ignoring your own intuition. Keep a journal of the intuitive messages that you receive – even if you're unsure of what they mean. Over time, you may find that the messages come together in a more coherent manner. There are a number of books and courses to help you develop your intuition. It may seem frustrating at first. But if you commit to spending time several days each week settling into a calm inner space, asking for guidance from your higher self and simply allow yourself to be present with whatever images, words, sensations, feelings or sense of knowing that comes to you – free of judgement and scrutiny – you'll be well on your way to developing your intuition.

DAVENPORT — Davenport's first mayor now has a tombstone after cemetery volunteers and city officials worked to get a marker placed on the grave.
Rudolphus Bennett was a Vermont native who journeyed to Davenport in 1837. He was buried in Davenport after his death in 1871. It's unclear whether Bennett's grave originally had a tombstone.
Volunteer Colleen Powers said she researched Bennett that his wife, Lucinda, and daughter, Sarah, are also buried in the cemetery. A facet that Powers found most intriguing is that Bennett was a staunch Congregationalist, a church whose members often were associated with abolitionism.
Powers found information on Bennett by consulting numerous sources, beginning with newspaper obituaries.
Bennett's new marker is in honor of the 175th anniversary of Davenport's City Cemetery founding. The stone installed June 29 by Art Stone Co. is engraved with all three names, along with their birth and death dates.
The more than 11-acre City Cemetery is Davenport's oldest cemetery and contains the remains of an estimated 6,000 people. The last burial occurred in 1997.
The $995 marker was paid for out of the city's capital improvements budget.
Bennett served a single one-year term as Davenport's mayor in 1839.

While I was thinking about how I want to digest the 36 principles listed below, I came upon this comment on James Paul Gee's site:
"It surprises me how often educators who know better lapse back into "mindless progressivism", a theory that children learn best by participation and immersion in interest-driven activities. People can participate in an interest-driven group and still gain few of the higher-value skills that participation in the group leads others to attain. That is why an emphasis on production is important. Learning to produce the knowledge or outcomes an interest-driven group is devoted to leads to higher-order and meta-level thinking skills. If only a few are producers and most are consumers, then a group is divided into a small number of "priests" (insiders with "special" knowledge and skills) and the "laity" (followers who use language, knowledge, and tools they do not understand deeply and cannot transform for specific contexts of use)."
To re-state (if necessary): putting kids into groups based on interest doesn't guarantee learning, or at least not the higher-level stuff that teachers really want. Teachers need to emphasize the creation of some kind of appropriate product (the students need to make something). If only a few students move into this way of thinking, instead of all, then the group can be divided and less effective overall.
I take this as a caution. I'm on the cusp of pushing students into groups, hopefully with an appropriate emphasis on a product. But that doesn't guarantee learning all by itself.
Thanks, Jim.

Back on July 30th, at 3 a.m. Jerusalem time, Israel's Knesset passed a budget.
The vote approving the spending plan for the next year came after 15 hours of debate and it prevented a collapse of the government. Under Knesset rules, if a budget bill is not passed within three months of the start of the fiscal year, the government is dissolved and elections are called.
In other words, Israeli politicians were forced to compromise on a spending plan or risk losing their jobs.
That's what we call motivation.
If the United States government operated under a similar rule, it's likely that nearly all of the current politicians in Washington would be long gone. Congress hasn't passed a budget resolution and all the necessary spending bills on time since 1996.
Since then, the Congress has relied largely on continuing resolutions, temporary spending plans that have to be approved, on average, several times a year. But as former U.S. comptroller general David Walker says, that's not the worst of it.
"Even when Congress does pass a budget and required spending bills, they only control about 38 percent of total federal spending—and that percentage is declining," Walker writes. "The rest is 'mandatory' spending, and it's on autopilot—largely Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and interest on our national debt."
So let's get this straight. Congress gave up years ago passing an actual budget, opting for stopgap spending measures to pay for only 1/3 of the total cost of government. The current government shutdown means it can't even accomplish that.
The seeds of the shutdown were sown when President Obama and the Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act with no bipartisan support. That conservative backlash triggered the Tea Party movement that sent Republicans to Washington who are fixated on overturning the law.
Republicans mismanaged their attack by linking the defunding of Obamacare with legislation to keep the government running. Senate Democrats and the President won that battle, but now they are churlishly refusing to negotiate with the Republicans on any issues.
While the political posturing continues, the country's budget woes deepen, as the non-partisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget pointed out last month.
"Continually rising deficits over the long-term are driven by a significant increase in spending on entitlement programs and interest payments on the debt and revenues from an inefficient and outdated tax code that will fail to keep pace."
We have real problems in this country, which are not impossible to overcome but will require difficult negotiations and tough decisions. If our elected officials can't get it done, perhaps we should take a lesson from the Knesset.

Hop'sHip - Thank you for considering me for the right-wing hall-of-fame! As you possibly noted, I stated I would be tuning out you FAR LEFT WACKJOBS! But I felt compelled to reply to you tonight because you just might be the LEADER OF THE PACK of the "KOOL-AID" Obummer Lovers! I'm very sorry I omitted your name from the "Dem Flunkie List."
One important point I failed to stress about BHO is that he is WITHOUT A DOUBT the WORST LEADER this country has ever had as a President! By the way, do you think he is running the show or is Dingy Harry or Michelle calling the shots?
Let me offer you some good advice Hop'sHip: Stay off the Kool-Aid and start drinking MUGS of good tequila. It just might get you to start thinking right!!!!!
Thank you, DP. It is an honor to be recognized by someone like you for my errant mind-set. I would be concerned if you thought otherwise. Don't like Kool-Aid but I also think I'll pass on your tequilla suggestion. It does provide me a clue of what shapes your judgment, however. I do need your help though since I don't spend a lot of time on your information services. Who is Dingy Harry?
Although I'm now a Republican, I'm not a "Far Right Wacko." I voted for both MoJoe and Earl Ray and will continue to vote for Dems in the future. I vote for the man (or in Shelley's case, the woman), not the party!
I've NEVER bullied and absolutely do not condone it! However, I NEVER will be bullied by anyone!
Last night while reading some of the comments, I noted that one Left Wing poster thought the "Lame Stream Media" was as tough on Obama as they were on Bush or any other President. What a frigging joke! The Left Wing/Main Stream Media are nothing but lap dogs for BHO! A compliant press (which is unfortunately what we now have) is basically as harmful as not having a free press. Thank God for Fox News!!!
I dont know if I would put GregG on the far left wagon. If I had to label GregG I would say that he equally hates everyone and everything. I dont know if he voted for Obama, I would guess he probably didnt vote at all because he didnt like either of the canidates.
As far as TD goes, if that person had an independent thought his head might just implode. He dashes in with his "facts" but you know you got him beat when he cherry picks what he wants to answer. Just like on this very thread when I said how about Harry Reid lead by example and let the senate vote on the houses bill. Harry Reid and his do I as say not as I do attitude only fools those that are die hard left. Those that you can not reason with, but those that you can easily defeat in a debate because they dont have a witty one liner to come back.
Hop'sHip, what to say about this person. Something about HH tells me that he is probably one of the smarter people on this website but he too avoids and cherry picks what to answer what to avoid. When challened HH does answer a question but gets very creative and shows that there is intelligence and independence with his mind. I say this because his answer isnt always its Bush/tea party fault like some people... HH is probably someone I could sit down with and talk face to face, neither of us would likely change our mind but it would educational and fun.
DP: Speaking for all left-wing wackjobs, I did you the courtesy of reading ALL of YOUR crap, and what an impressive pile it was. But as a left-wing nutjob, I reserven the right to denote who is a right-wing wackjob,and I would say you are highly qualified. Do not selll yourself short! If I could offer one suggestion, all worthy right-wing wackjobs include the term "kool-aid in their diatribes. Just study the work of some of your fellow Obama-haters here and you will soon be producing crap that will get you in the right-wing wackjob hall-of-fame.
Two men sit in their shared home. It is cold, dark and dreary. It is this way because the two men don't make enough money, spend too much money and have gone into too much debt. They have a problem.
One man says to the other, "I refuse to let either of us leave the room until you agree that we will not spend any more money, will not take on more debt, and I don't care if the bank takes our home, we have no food and the power is cut off in the dead of winter." The other man looks at him incredulous. "I will not be held hostage. I know we spend too much, and have too much debt. But I will not agree to anything until we pay our mortgage, buy some food and get the heat paid for this winter. Then, I will talk."
Both sit stubbornly across from each other, neither willing to budge.
Their rotted corpses were found later that spring.
The bookman
TD..I am not espousing the belief that the republicans are without blame here...lots of political posturing going on...and they certainly could learn a thing or two about how to frame the arguments they attempt to make...but the intrenched position of the left has been the problem...no compromise from the left...in fact to quote the man himself...no negotiation...that is the problem I have with your posts...prior to yesterday I had never posted a comment but after reading your posts over the years I could really take it no longer...you don't twist the facts...you make them up to suit your argument...sad really when you think about it!
As to my life philosophy...conservative I am...winning I do believe in...not at all cost...but winning does require competition...and that requires a loser...anyone who has ever truly competed in anything has shared in both...those who view life from your prism believe you should focus on everyone winning...and that sir is impossible...unattainable...a noble pursuit yet fatally flawed!
Welcome aboard. Its good to have an ally in exposing his "facts."
I remeber several years ago that there was a poster named skipdog or skipdog11. I know many times skipdog went round and round with people until he let it slip that he was a state worker posting on tax payer time. I could not recall TD posting back then but I often wonder if skipdog waited a while and came back as this new person. CaptainQ, maybe you can help out, do you recall skipdog? If so are the posts similiar in nature?
Yes bulldog, I do remember skipdog11 and I even remember the fateful day he did reveal he was a state employee (and got taken to task for it by other MB regulars). As for whether skipdog 'returned' under another name, I really don't know. I'm still looking for 'brian12' to return. I can still remember the day he, as the young people say today, 'rage-quit' this MB, blaming me for dominating it (a charge I will categorically deny). His style was to always lurk for a few weeks/months and then post a wall of text attacking me. Don't think he's returned either, but he probably will sooner or later despite the fact that on a daily basis, other MB 'regulars' often post many more entries than I do (or ever did).
Maybe brain12 did come back, I saw a post sometime within the past week where someone said of course Captain always has to comment and be the first one. It wasnt hops post though, one of the other stories on the site. Haha "rage quit" or maybe as the youth also say /cutwrists
Any shortcomings in quantity you more than make up in quality, Q. That is why you are CaptainQ(uality)!
The whole argument is currently based on the CBO projections of UNFUNDED LIABILITIES! WE DON"T HAVE THE MONEY FOR
Some other observations for the US economy in 2015 simply assuming current conditions persist:
Federal spending will be $3.3 trillion per year, and with federal revenue of $2.3 trillion (this number will be reduced as it also assumes $731 billion in payroll tax, a number which will likely be indefinitely reduced) the result is a budget deficit of $983.7 billion.
Annual Medicare/Medicaid expenses will be just over $1 trillion
US population: 326.8 million
US workforce 131.3 million (and declining)
Officially unemployed: 19.4 million
Actual unemployed: 22.3 million
State/Federal employees: 17.9 million
People on SSN and other retirees: 72.6 million
And the most critical data:
Food stamp recipients: 89.7 million
Foreclosures: 2 million
Social Security Liability: $19 trillion
Medicare Liability: $99 trillion
Total US Unfunded Liabilities: $144 trillion
Gross Debt to GDP: 143%
Foodstamps are predicted to jumped from 47/48 million to almost 90 million by 2015?
Predictions from 2010 trends. You could make some corrections, but the underlying point is we have unfunded liabilities.
We have way to many and way to much unfunded liabilities. I was just shocked that it is expected to almost double in a couple of years. Well I guess I am not really that shocked.
Sorry for typo. Correction:
The whole argument is currently based on the CBO projections of UNFUNDED LIABILITIES! WE DON"T HAVE THE MONEY!
Great information provided by Hillboy.
Here's the real problem. Bookman, Bulldog, etc... You guys have bought into the propaganda that what is happening is reasonable, that this is business as usual, that there will be no real consequences to their actions. That conservatives take no prisoners win at all costs, never compromise, are an acceptable way to govern a democracy. It is not and good people such as yourselves need to recognize they are empowered by you and others just like you.
Until that is recognized and changed we are in big trouble. I'm not saying Republicans have no good ideas, cut food stamps and welfare are two good places to start, but they have to be willing to compromise or we are dooming ourselves.
I have asked this before but it fell on deaf ears but here goes. Show me or tell me one thing other than the strings attached to the CR that the senate changed other than the ACA. Show me one thing other than that. The way I see it is they only changed that and nothing else. If thats the case then I take it they like everything else, meaning that they got everything but one thing. Then the president says you dont hold the country hostage because you dont get 100% of what you want.
So who is he referring too? The senate dems because cutting out the ACA strings means they get 100% of what they want. Or the house reps that went back to the drawing board and went from defund to delay to cut out this tax. Who is not trying to compromise?
And lastly the cries for a straight up and down vote for the "clean" CR in the house is nonsense. If the president and Harry Reid want to lead then lead by example and have the Senate vote on the house bill and see what happens. We might be shocked as to how it turns out. Only the blissful of this country fall for this garbage where the house is expected to vote on the senate bill as is with no changes, but yet the senate doesnt vote on the house bill with no changes. TD, if you can not see this then you are truly a lost cause on anything and everything.
As far as blame, yes I see both parties responsible. I attribute 70% to the senate and 30% to the house. I give so much to the senate because Harry Reid tables so many things.
In no way do I think this is how the government should work but with the track record of the government, what other avenue is there. I mean really, the president say give me a clean CR and then I will sit down and talk about anything you want, line by line. Do YOU or anyone else actually think this will happen, or if a meeting does actually happen that anything will come of it. If the meeting happens it will be like the last time when the president said the elections over, I won, you lost John. That reeks of compromise doesnt it?
Harry Reid and Boehner met this summer and worked out a deal on the budget. The funding would be at Republican levels, $70 billion below what Dems wanted. Reid told Boehner to get it passed through the house and send it over, he'd get it through the Senate. Boehner did not follow through. That is what Cantor was referring to in a speech a couple months ago when he said we already got most of what we want. Then came Ted Cruz and the TEA Party who refuse to take yes for an answer. They want to throw in de-funding Obamacare, now it is tax cuts, or entitlement reform, or whatever. All under a gov't shutdown and threat of default.
This is not an acceptable way to govern and is destroying your party..
Its hard to say what really happens behind those closed door meetings. Unless there is a tape of the conversation I dont believe anything out of any of their mouths.

Here is a link to an article that I wrote for a new website co-founded by my beautiful friend, Brooke. The article deals with the fifth "anniversary" of Max's death, the origin and meaning of the phrase "to pull a Max," and the idea that beauty can be found in life, even after horrible tragedy.
While you're on the site, browse through some of the other articles and the boutique. I'm incredibly proud of Brooke and am amazed at the amount of work and passion that she has poured into this endeavor. Brooke is one of the most authentic and kind-hearted people I've ever known; she has been an absolutely crucial and uplifting part of my grief journey. I am so thankful for her presence in my life and for her giving me an opportunity to share my story with her audience.
Here is the article.

The first three albums by Steely Dan all fall somewhere between "near masterpiece" and "masterpiece." By the time of Pretzel Logic, it was beginning to become clear that the enterprise was less a band than it was a group of talented sidemen fueled by the genius of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. Things hadn't quite gotten to the point where they would in a few years, when it really was Fagen, Becker and their merry band of sidemen, but things were well on their way to that destination.
"Rikki Don't Lose That Number" was the first track on Pretzel Logic, and the first (only?) single released from the album. It is a magnificent, exquisite song, achieving a level of sophistication that few artists have ever attempted, much less achieved. And unlike some of what would come later, the song was brimming with emotion - red hot, as opposed to the ice cold (but sometimes, equally brilliant) fare on albums like Aja and Gaucho.
The "video" below is taken from a live show that was recorded that year, and the band sounds great - it is also interesting to clearly hear Michael McDonald on background vocals. Say what you will about his tenure with the Doobie Brothers, the guy could always sing.
"Rikki Don't Lose That Number," Steely Dan, from the summer of 1974.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 15, 2015—San Francisco AIDS Foundation launched the public phase of "The Campaign for Health & Wellness" having raised more than $12.2 million of its $15 million goal. The campaign funds the programmatic expansion and renovation costs associated with its groundbreaking new center for gay and bisexual men's health and wellness at 470 Castro Street. The new center is named "Strut" and brings together the foundation's well-known and popular free services for sexual health, substance use and mental health, and community engagement and support. Services are slated to move into the new space in October.
"We're grateful for the campaign's tremendous early momentum—a clear testament to the hunger that exists in our community to make San Francisco the first city to end HIV transmission," said Tom Perrault, chair of the Campaign for Health & Wellness and former board chair of San Francisco AIDS Foundation. "Major donors and institutional partners really stepped up during the quiet phase, and we're excited to invite the community to join us, help forge a groundbreaking new model and ensure the programs are fully funded for years to come."
Strut co-locates the sexual health services of Magnet, the substance use and mental health counseling services of Stonewall, and the community-building and support programs of Bridgemen and Positive Force. Two of the newest San Francisco AIDS Foundation programs designed to address the needs of young, gay and bisexual African-American men (the DREAAM Project), and men over the age of 50 (the 50-Plus Network) will also be located at Strut. The new, larger location enables the foundation to expand case management services by 25%, mental health counseling by 25%, substance use and harm reduction counseling by 50%, and HIV and STI screening up to 40%.
The name "Strut" was selected for its multi-dimensionality—it is both a verb meaning "to walk with pride and confidence," and also a noun referring to a beam that provides structural support. The name and identity were developed pro-bono by Heat, a San Francisco-based creative agency. Heat's yearlong brand development process was guided by primary and secondary research, interviews with community leaders, creative workshops with foundation staff and focus groups with clients and other community members.
"We knew we had tremendous responsibility to develop a new name as exciting as the innovative model it represents, especially considering the affection that exists in the community for our three program brands that will come together to form Strut," said Neil Giuliano, San Francisco AIDS Foundation CEO. "Strut is celebratory, unique, a little quirky and memorable, just like San Francisco. That's why it works—but at the end of the day, it's not about the name, it's about coming together to build a stronger, healthier and more vibrant community."
The new model at Strut was developed following a 2011 study by Bain & Company, a top management consulting firm. Bain worked with the foundation pro-bono to help determine how the agency could better meet the needs of gay and bisexual men and chart a path towards ending HIV transmission in San Francisco. The team identified a compelling need to co-locate individual existing programs serving gay and bisexual men, offer new programs to address unmet need and pivot away from a focus on disease identification and management towards a new model that promotes holistic health and wellness.
"Strut is a revolutionary new model for San Francisco and one that addresses a clear need—I expect that we will get between a third and half of gay and bisexual men in San Francisco coming through the doors of Strut in the very first year. Co-locating our services in a beautiful, larger, central community space will help us serve even more people with the sexual health, substance use, mental health and community programs we are known for. With the opening of Strut, we absolutely have the potential to make a positive impact on the lives of so many people in our community," said Tim Patriarca, executive director of Strut.
The Campaign for Health & Wellness is a four-year, $15 million major fundraising campaign to establish the first-ever home for health and wellness for gay and bisexual men in order to help make San Francisco the first city to end HIV transmission.

I told myself I had to contain my enjoyment of Big Little Lies as I watched the season finale, but I'm sorry, this series is too fantastic not to rave about. Especially, its seventh and final installment, which is profoundly gripping, and arguably one of the most engrossing and uncomfortable TV episodes of this young year. The hour was designed to scare you, to gnaw at your emotions, to keep you in a heightened, tense state; after watching it, I was kind of emotionally spent.
The series, which is based on the same-titled best-seller by Liane Moriarty, a book I'm definitely going to get (Amazon, I'm heading your way), weaves a darkly comedic tale of murder and mischief in the tranquil beachfront town of Monterey, California. I call it Desperate Housewives on steroids, because it has everything Wisteria Lane had: doting moms, successful husbands, beautiful children, stunning homes, idyllic lives, all of this a smokescreen for the fractured relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, and friends and neighbors.
There was nothing the series didn't go after, exploring society's myths regarding perfection and its romanticization of marriage, sex, parenting and friendship. It also did an excellent job of probing the idea of abuse and its roots. It questions whether abusers and violent people are taught to be that way and constantly worries that it stems from something in our nature, something we're born with.
I love how it ultimately became about one thing: five women bound by a murderous secret. And the women who played the characters were absolutely good. Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, Zoey Kravitz… The entire cast deserves Emmy wins.
Big Little Lies starts right from the beginning to drive a central mystery of who killed who, and is the kind of satisfying entertainment that leaves its audience wanting more—even though you know it's perfect just where it ended.
I hear Reese Witherspoon, in defiance to a sexist Hollywood who never seems to give women enough room to tell their stories, optioned the book and veered off into television. I say, you go girl! Option another one please. I love the magic y'all created on television.

All creations begin with a thought. These thoughts are then sketched on paper to get them out of my head. These sketches serve as a road map for the final doll. The finished Art Doll rarely looks exactly like the sketch. The sketch is a map for the journey, the steps on the road are taken one at a time with many detours. I make good use of all the odds and ends acquired over the years. With an eye toward originality and quality, vintage lace and trims are combined with vintage textiles or buttons saved from discarded clothing. Fine old silks and linens with embroidery, sequins and beading are favorites. I use velvet from curtains, yarn from sweaters, and leather salvaged from old boots and handbags.
Founded in 2012, Brooklyn Dollworks, LLC represents the work of artist Valerie A. Gladstone." I am an artist and like many other artists, I am compilation of many things.
As a native New Yorker and the youngest of seven children, there was always something to do, paint, sculpt, play, sing or witness. Every experience, meal, journey,
emotion, or dream, informs our work. Whichever medium you work in has to lend itself to that expression. I have found Art Dolls to fill this expression. "
Future plans for Brooklyn Dollworks include the addition of other mixed-media figurative artists. In the 21st century digital world our mission is to promote artists whose work in the traditional methods push the art form. Lending support to these artists through public showings, at juried shows and craft fairs as well as through printed and digital publications.

Heat Rising
On Friday we had a life drawing session at Richard's house at Kalani. I teased our model Joti that his pictures would be all over the internet, and his response was that any publicity is good publicity. Since he is a multitalented singer, dancer and artist, I guess this makes sense. On our way home Tuko and I had to stop and photograph the steam plume from the volcano's entry into the ocean, which has been seeming extra huge lately.

Painting at Green Mountain
I wish I could say I had a brilliantly successful day painting with friends up on Green Mountain, overlooking Kapoho. But Tuko and I arrived quite late and the sun was beating down on the plateau with no shade in sight, and no wind to speak of, and I just withered in the humidity while trying to paint the challenging vista. Plus the picturesque storm that I included in my sketch, that was so beautifully poised over the ocean, came straight in towards us and soaked us down thoroughly. I had been painting on a thin masonite panel which bent over from the moisture. So by noon I was very ready for our ride back down the hill, courtesy of Smiley, the beautiful caretaker of the Green Lake and Green Mountain. The best part was going up and down that road, under the graceful kukui and breadfruit trees, through the patches of awapuhi ginger.

A Workshop with Dick Nelson
Tuko and I attended a workshop at the East Hawai'i Cultural Center given by a teacher who I knew way back in high school. Mr Nelson was the advisor for the stage design club, of which I was the student president. Even though for some reason I never took art classes at Punahou, he still made a huge impression on me. He was cute and funny and full of wise suggestions. Although now both of us are pushing forty years older he hasn't changed all that much....
His Big Thing is color theory, specifically the notion that all colors can be derived from three pigment primaries, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, and that numerous magical effects can be obtained from the knowledgeable manipulation of colors. We did a few of the many color exercises that are handed down from the master classes of Joseph Albers, with whom Dick studied at Yale University. Using small colored papers we tried to obtain the illusions of light, transparency, shade and tint. Not as easy as it would seem.
I'm looking forward to applying these lessons to my own painting to achieve heightened effects of glowing illumination and mystery.

Anne's Show
This month the gallery is showcasing the watercolors and acrylic experiments left by Anne Whitmore, plus some of the artworks in private collections that were brought in as a special treat. We had a lovely opening for her on First Friday, September 5. Anne couldn't be there in her body but some folks say they could feel her smiling. It was a very sweet and poignant evening of Anne's friends enjoying her beautiful paintings and each other.

We booked Casa Bonita not really knowing what to expect and the house surpassed our expectations. Location is excellent, at the end of the row of 4 and very private and quiet. Pool area is beautiful and was exceptionally clean. Staff at the reception very helpful and friendly and the house itself felt like proper home, with all the comforts you could ever need. Sam and Kim had arranged for a welcome pack which was unexpected but very much appreciated (milk, wine, cookies, juice.) Casas Del Sol is perfectly placed opposite the old port and 10 mins walk away from the shops, bars and restaurants of the promenade. Everything you need is within an easy walk and if you want to exert yourself the new marina is a 30 min stroll along the prom. We had the most relaxing week we have ever had and would definitely recommend this property.

The 24 Hours of LeMons
Got a few bucks, an old beater and some free time between Christmas and New Years? Why not drive it in a 24 hour enduro?
The 24 Hours of LeMons is a weekend-long race for cars purchased, fixed up, and track-prepped for total of $500 or less. Each team may also face qualifying rounds such as the Marxist Parking Valet, the Widdling Rottweiler Slalom, and/or the Stoney Bike-Messenger Shooting Gallery. Generally, track racing consists of two endurance sessions, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, with a late-night intermission for sleeping, eating, and Band-Aid application in between. Count on plenty of noise, prizes, water fights, and questionably civilized fun before, during, and after the track sessions. Finally, assuming you're still standing, there's the gala awards ceremony which presents trophies, plaques, and winner's purses paid out in nickels.

Charlie Sheen allegedly suffered a severe attack of food poisoning on Monday, sending paramedics rushing to his house.
A local Los Angeles fire department received a call around 11 p.m. Pacific Time from someone in Sheen's home, alerting them to a health emergency. Medical personnel swiftly came to the rescue, and Sheen was treated on site for his alleged ailment, reports TMZ. It's worth noting that the outlet has insinuated something more sinister may have been going on, calling it "curious" that the call for help wasn't made to 911, which records all conversations.
The incident calls to mind Sheen's 2011 trip to the hospital amid the major meltdown that eventually led to his firing from "Two and a Half Men." At the time, many speculated that the actor, after a night of partying, had suffered an overdose or had some kind of drug-related episode. But, as Gossip Cop reported, Sheen's camp said he was suffering from a hernia. That followed a 2010 hospitalization that was blamed on an "allergic reaction" after a wild, disastrous night at New York's Plaza Hotel.
On Tuesday evening, Sheen's rep told People that the actor went to the emergency room to "be safe" after eating "bad clams." "They checked him out, hydrated him and sent him on his way. He was back home in bed 90 minutes later," says the spokesperson. Sheen further provided the outlet with a photo of himself smiling with the firemen who came to his home.

Let's speak to about precious stone wedding rings and gold engagement bands.Wedding rings, also named wedding bands, are a strong eternal sign of like between two engaged allies. Most weddings require powerful exchange of rings dating back to between the uniting groom themselves and bride before they could be pronounced husband and wife. The ring itself is usually stated to be a symbol of an unending love, light-weight circular shape. Similarly, the ring finger is traditionally believed to house a direct vein so that you can heart, which describes the intense emotional bond that would probably develop between two adjoined individuals. One could obtain many similar content pieces prevailing around the field of while trying for more information on wedding rings.
There is a rich history behind the best way wedding rings become introduced in a Christian way having to do with life. It wasn't prior to the days of Pope Innocent III that may couples were asked to wear two rings, one during sites to be and the a lot of while finally being married. Families offered jewellery just to complience seal engagements prior to this historical pronouncement via the Pope. He also asked about the engaged relationship to observe a waiting period before they have the ability to finally marry. These orthodox dictates slowly grew to become colorful traditions, although Christianity traversed internationally over a time period many centuries.
A hardened alloy with Gold, Bismuth, Tin along with Copper is actually usually made regarding in fabrication wedding rings. Sometimes Platinum, Nickel and Titanium are introduced as a way to yield ranging results. Platinum is mixed i'll carry on with white yellow metal for manufacturing a separate class of Platinum engagement rings. Similarly Titanium and Tungsten carbide are used produce durability, affordability, varying contexture and covers of eye-catching ring designs.
However, lower priced metals comparable to Silver, Brass and Office assistant are rarely used the actual the costly ones out of the former's corrosiveness. Aluminum along with many other poisonous chemicals metals are not made associated with in each of our manufacture of either engagement rings or alike in many ways other decorations. However, an widest and as well as cheapest known as alloy for this modern world, stainless steel, is surprisingly gaining ground as a person of the options these periods. Its durability, which is really a par with that of Jewelry and Titanium, could be very attributed in this wondrous creation.
Retail sellers may obviously quote diamond engagement rings at $600 and more, but could maybe easily be procured here at lower price ranges from a lot of online natural resources. A momentary look a few time of the existing jewelry web directories might strongly recommend how these selling a number of jewelry items at lower cost, this consists of those from the latest engagement rings. These online pages could commonly meet with the demands involving market segments, starting by way of the casual rings buyer to the seeker coming from all high-end decorations.

I have been teaching a lot this month. Mostly in Grade 3 and Grade 7, but also Grade 5 and Grade 11. It has been wonderful. I get to teach these wonderful children without having to plan parent/teacher conferences, go to faculty meetings, or do hours and hours of prep.
As an experienced teacher I have lots of tricks up my sleeves, and the students know and respect me already so discipline is a non issue.
Oh the Grade 3's can be silly, and the Grade 7's loud and goofy in that teenagery kind of way, but God I love them. How can you not love a class that launches into songs from the Pirates of Penzance while solving Angle-Side-Angle problems?
I have been helping teach Geometry this past week. I was terrible at Geometry when I was in high school - but over my teaching career I have learned to love it with its orderliness, and magic.
It has been a good month. Except for a sore back, I am feeling very well, sleeping well, and enjoying life on these sunny autumn days. Life is moving along and I feel like I am moving along with it, or maybe even slightly ahead of it.
It is all good.
And I am thankful.
And at peace.
Thanks be to God, as my dear friend June would say.
Yes, Thanks be to God.
And, modern medicine.
And, talk therapy.
Thanks be indeed.
