Movie Lovers
Screen Lovers/Real Lovers
Ambassadors of Love.
Rome, Switzerland, London, New York City, Montreal, Santa Monica, Puerto Vallarta, Portofino, Italy, Monte Carlo, Sardinia, Budapest, Botswana, Africa. These were a handful of settings cited in the movie in which this romance flourished. Competitors beware. Additional stats are also daunting. Richard garnered seven Academy Award nominations, Elizabeth won two. They also earned astounding fees at the time.
The truth can walk.
Who knows if it is true or not, that Richard Burton fell madly in love with Elizabeth Taylor, who had already established a reputation for multiple marriages by the time a Shakespearean "Mark Anthony" stepped into her life. It is nice to see, if only on the screen and not in real life, a man pursue a woman with such long-enduring intensity. It is a credit to the male sex, actually, which is so often criticized for hypocrisy and lack of commitment. Subject matter relating to classical Hollywood has been popular of late. Recently, HBO came out with a biopic of Hitchcock making Psycho (1960). Baby-boomers well remember the gossip of their mothers and fathers (mostly mothers, maybe) centering on big-name romances and whether or not the couple stayed together or broke up. Did he really raise his voice at the hotel, as was averred? Did she really throw something at him, as became the talk of the town? It is all good as far as I'm concerned.
I like the fact that Richard wrote to Elizabeth. That is how Liz and Dick (2012) begins. This is a class act. Also, I seem to remember, first-hand, however fuzzily, when Elizabeth and Richard were together, broke up, re-united, and then broke up again. I was not into it at the time. But looking back, I think I missed out -- if only on something for movie buffs. The movie emphasizes that to his last dying day, Richard tried to fix it up, whatever it was. And whatever it was, it could not have been something truly broken. It is the nature of this strange beast that successes and failures are sometimes indistinguishable. I don't get it. The human heart, insofar as it relates to romantic love, defies analysis. I'm actually paraphrasing the German philologist, Friedrich Nietzsche. From memory, too. If things were so easy and long-lasting, downhill skiing all day and night, then a tempestuous love affair it is not. And this, if nothing else, was exactly that.
Henry and June (1990) exists in counterpoint, as do many another entanglement. The third party, Anais Nin, explored the sensual offerings of Paris along with Mr. Miller. Both she and Miller wrote explicitly. Their half-novelistic, half-journalistic reportage was indeed a shock to the book world, but more importantly, they had a thing for one another. An extra-marital thing, I might add. And not one that excluded the Mrs. In reality, the Nin-Miller relationship might actually have been as sweeping and godly as Taylor-Burton, though it was always mired in the shadowy underworld of illicit sex. And besides, they were writers not actors, not relentlessly pursued by paparazzi. And then, also, there is the fact that I am not well educated in love stories. Which is to say, that I don't follow the latest buzz, sink at night into the Harlequin Universe, or keep up with the chick flicks. But I probably should, since I respect those who chase after these sorts of dreams rather than give way to more practical longings -- such as re-financing a mortgage. Why fall into the fiscal pit from which no one has ever emerged unscathed when your heart is still beating?
The War of the Roses (1989) also came to mind as I watched Lindsay Lohan's rendition of Elizabeth Taylor. Maybe there was something to the casting: one child actress channeling another. Every once in a while one hears about two senior citizens who met long ago and were married in two weeks' time, then stayed the course sixty years thereafter. Or, how about those rare couples who were married for decades and claim to have never had a single argument? Companions, an obsolescent term, have also had parallel accomplishments in this glory-bound field of enterprise. They also stay together, tethered to one another, despite whatever temptations or adversities there might have been. These was not the Roses, of course. But how did Elizabeth and Richard manage to prevail against so much bad-mouthing, for their insults toward one another are actually documented and easy to research for those so inclined.
Which is another point -- the idea of prolonging a deeply felt affair in the midst of so much publicity. Generally speaking, scrutiny and its microscopic eye will destroy the better qualities of humankind. Computerization is diabolical. Today, almost everyone is at least a part-time voyeur. If you are not staring at a screen, then you are probably only temporarily away from the spy-crazed cyberworld. Nevertheless, a tried and true method to triumph over the evil that puts our best characteristics into traction is through love. Our religious will say Amen to this, only they are not exactly speaking of the same Merriam-Webster listing for the word or term. But common ground, overlapping betwixt and between, is plentiful.
Wither Goest Thou?
Cynics and Sinners
It seems as though one has to choose, and though the choices are seemingly divergent, to either sneer at or fully embrace the passionate, we might well end up in the same place reserved for assorted losers in Dante's Inferno. During the Vietnam War, flower children tried to emphasize love over all, but they wound up smoking weed. After that, they upped the ante to sugar cubes and . . . well, that was the explanation from pop-psychology that does not do justice to a lost era. As to what really happened to the sixties, they turned into the seventies -- and disco.
Music and Lyrics by Donovan
Brother Sun, Sister Moon (1972)
In 1972, there was this: St. Francis and St. Clare, whose history harkens back to the 1200s. It is something to think about anyways. Maybe there is a better place, an afterworld, and a higher love that does not exclude a man and a woman, though it entail a number of restraints and provisos. I'm not sure how I got here from where I began except through the endless tunnel of free associations. But I take my hat off to this affair de coeur, too. As well as Zeffirelli.
In the public eye.
Him and Her, Her and Him
Remember this one? If you are old enough and acquainted with New York City you do. Every single day the New York Post reported on this marriage. It told what she did -- jogging a lot of the time -- and what he did, none of which I can call to mind. The marriage was a newsworthy event, but this paper, often enough thoroughly enjoyable, never claimed to practice ethics. The world is starved for entertainment, sure enough, but the Post hit on a malicious praxis that would only blossom and prove fruitful in the future. Reporters could simply take pictures and write up stories and then, after the fact, check the bottom line. If there were buyers, it would not matter in the least what it was about. The point is, who knows to what extent publicity either made this marriage, broke it up, or both. But it played a prominent role. Reports began with Day 1 and went on from there. All the way to nowhere....
Movies, books, articles, and hearsay
Liz and Dick was not a blockbuster. But its subject matter hardly escaped notice. While writing up this homage and/or piece of nostalgia, I was made aware of just how much publicity their affair drummed up. The amount of books, video, audio, and print matter in magazine and journals, and simply random talk is staggering. They were not just an item or entity.
Other Lovers
It seems unfair to write up a hub such as this and leave so many other prominent couples out of the picture.It kind of reminds me of They Shoot Horses, Don't They? either in book or film form. I can see in my mind's eye any number of couples on the dance floor, trying to remain on their feet, and survive the competition. Written in 1935, the novel comes straight from the Depression. It is a funny thing about words. Nowadays, depression comes straight from the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The movie is from 1969. Elizabeth and Richard married in the 1960s, then divorced in the 1970s. All of which only means whatever meaning one cares to bestow on the intersection of time and events. It might well be that love in all its plethora of shapes and forms is commensurate with insanity. But think of the opposite, which always has its inviolable reasons. War is utterly rational, a response to a wrong, acts of aggression for the sake of gain, or maybe, as has been coldly suggested, a way to thin and re-invigorate the population. Hawks get respect, too -- often rightfully so. As wars become untenable, terrorism takes up the slack. Ageless traditions having to do with hurting one another keep recycling. I'd like to think I am immune to these drumbeats. But they can be catchy. Ultimately, I choose to believe that the world does not belong to haters. It belongs, rather, to lovers, and in this high profile romance (Taylor-Burton), that could not have been the greatest ever, or the Platonic Form itself manifested in the flesh, there is much to admire.

text: So, I've started on my iTower, or my miniTooth, or something like that. Started with the outside of the case, since that's what I had first. So, I started with a Sawtooth, decided to make it look more like an iMac, since I figure that if Apple made a mid-tower it would look kinda like an iMac meets a mini (white+aluminum). Here's how it came out! I'm pretty happy with it, hope people think it's as neat as I do. Next step is to mount a Core Duo Mac mini in there, sans the top of the case, and stock HDD and optical drive (it'll be mounted on the drop down door such that the back of the mini is flush with the back of the case where the old ports were located), then attach a 400 or 500gb 3.5" SATA HDD, a 5.25" DVD-RW, and max out the RAM to 2gb. After that, in a year or two, I'll be dropping in a 2+ghz C2D (once I can get a chip over 2ghz for ~$200). After that I will be adding an array of drives via firewire for hosting an HD media library to a frontend (maybe an AppleTV). So, without further ado, here's stage one of my custom mid-tower Mac! (the first pic is the original machine, just for reference)

These Christmas Tree Cupcakes are simple and easy, but very effective.
Start off with a basic vanilla cupcake batter. This is my recipe, it's a throw-it-all-together-and-mix recipe.
2 cups of self raising flour
1 cup of white/caster sugar
125ml of oil (canola/light olive oil/vegetable oil)
3 eggs
185ml of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
You will also need a piping bag and a star pointed nozzle.
Toss all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine with a beater until very smooth.
Divide the mixture in half and add red food dye to one and green to the other and mix.
Using a tablespoon scoop mixture into the cupcake cases, alternating colours. Don't fill the case all the way – allow for the cupcake to rise while baking.
Alternate which colour you start with so the cupcakes are different.
Step Four
Bake at 180 degress for about 20 minutes or until the cupcakes spring back when you press the centre lightly (or until you can insert a skewer and it comes out clean)
Allow to cool.
Once completely cooled make up a basic butter cream mixture – add a little more icing sugar to make the butter cream quite stiff and add green food dye.
To form a Christmas tree start by making a mound in the middle of your cupcake to give your Christmas tree some height.
Then starting on the outside spiral around and then up the mound of icing and lift off at the tip.
Now decorate. I used this "Pirate Treasure Toppings" from Coles because it has the shiney balls, and stars for the top of the tree.
And the inside looks like this:
Optional final step. Add a filter before sharing to social media. I particularly like "X Pro II" on instagram.

Long-suffering Greg Heffley huffs his way through a big summer adventure – with mayhem and mishaps along the way
Posted: 03 July 2012
by Catherine O'Dolan
AH, THE JOYS of having a whole summer of lazy, hazy days stretching ahead of you fills our young anti-hero Greg Heffly, AKA The Wimpy Kid, with dreamy anticipation. What activities are on his schedule? Well, how about days filled with playing video games in a darkened living room and possibly finding time for a little summer romance with your teenage crush Holly? Sure sounds good to Greg, but of course that doesnt' factor that his mother's idea of fun is a book club, and his dad believes that a kid should be out playing sports and other exercises.
Such is the oft' thwarted intentions of Greg, the classic middle child who is sandwiched between his bullying and rather dim big brother, Roderick, and his looks-cute-but-is-actually-a-pintsize-demon-and-master-manipulator baby brother, Manny. Things start looking up, however, when Greg's best friend, Rowley, lets slip that his family are members of an exclusive country club, complete with idyllic swimming pool and poolside cocktails. After convincing his family that he has actually landed himself a summer job at the club, Greg's summer starts to pan out how he imagined, after all…
Does it last? Well, this is a diary of a wimpy kid and life for Greg works pretty much on the premise that if things can go wrong, then they will. So expect craziness and mayhem to happen at the club (where would-be rockstar Roderick insists his brother sneaks him in too); on a father-son camping trip, where a touch of camping rivalry sets in, and at a Sweet 16 birthday bash with an exploding sound system and a chocolate fountain. With plenty of cringe-worthy comic moments, some keenly observed family dynamics and some rather touching father-son bonding.
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (cert U; running time 94 minutes) is out on August 3, 2012.

Why We'll Miss Michael
Last Sunday morning on Meet the Press, host David Gregory asked Presidential advisor David Axelrod whether or not Obama planned to make any public statement about Michael Jackson's death. Axelrod explained that the President had reached out to the Jackson family privately. What current pop star's death will merit discussion about an Oval Office response? Probably not Lady Gaga's.
There is much that will be missed about Michael Jackson, but the Axelrod/Gregory exchange made me think about something specific underlying our collective grief: MJ was the last pop star we will all share. He was the last one to garner so much genre-, race, and class-transcending popularity that it feels appropriate for his death to register as a tragedy of Presidential importance. We have lost a common bond.
Changes in the music industry will ensure that bond stays broken. Due to increased genre fragmentation, the proliferation of illegal downloading, and the ongoing extinction of brick-and-mortar record stores, music simply doesn't sell like it did during Jackson's '80s heyday. For instance, last year's biggest selling album was Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, which moved 2.88 million copies in the U.S. Josh Groban's Noel was 2007's top seller. It sold 3.7 million. By comparison, 1982's Thriller sold 28 million copies. Five years later Bad sold eight million. 1991's Dangerous, at seven million, was considered a mild sales disappointment.
But it wasn't business that made Jackson a cross-cultural icon--it was, of course, his music. At their best (think of "Billie Jean" or "Bad"), the songs were as catchy as the flu and funkier than a Bonnaroo port-a-potty. Their playful melodies made them approachable enough for the parents while their innovative production and stealthily paranoid sentiments made them radical enough for the kids. If you didn't like Michael Jackson, the problem wasn't with him.
Now though, with the music world splintered into different radio formats and blogs and websites making it easier for people to burrow into the hermetic hole of stuff they already enjoy, it's hard to imagine anyone again approaching Jacksonian levels of appeal. The conditions just aren't there.
I think that's unfortunate. Having a pop star we can all watch and talk about and listen to makes music feel more vital. Michael Jackson was living proof that music meant something--to me, to you, to everyone. That proof is gone now. And now we are all living a little further apart from one another.

Jeff Lynne has been making great music since his days with British bands like The Idle Race & The Move in the 1960s. But he's best known in the USA for fronting Electric Light Orchestra, and for being a member of the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, along with Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison & Roy Orbison. You probably know his music, but maybe not his name: As one of my friends recently noted "Jeff Lynne is one of the unsung heroes of rock & roll." Lynne hasn't recorded an album under the ELO name since 2001's underrated Zoom; his last solo disc, 2012's Long Wave, was a collection of covers. But in November of 2015, he released Alone In The Universe, billed as Jeff Lynne's ELO. If you love the layered vocals & production (backed with shimmering guitars) of ELO's 70s & 80s albums, Alone In The Universe will be a special treat.
The album kicks off with "When I Was A Boy," Lynne's paean to his younger days, listening to music on the radio, and being inspired to become a musician. That song sets the tone for the rest of the disc, which features recognizable touches of the classic ELO sound, but also hints of pop & soul, and even a bit of reggae, on "When The Night Comes." In fact, these tunes could also fit comfortably on some of the albums that Lynne has produced for other artists, including former Wilbury band mates Petty & Harrison, as well as other rockers like Joe Walsh & Dave Edmunds. This is a true one man effort, with Lynne doing most of the vocals & playing all the instruments, except backing vocals by his daughter Laura & some percussion by engineer Steve Jay. The classic ELO sound is probably most evident on the aforementioned "When I Was A Boy," as well as "One Step At A Time" and the title track.
Other highlights include the soulful "Love & Rain," the lovely ballad "The Sun Will Shine On You" & the Orbison-esque "I'm Leaving You." The album features only ten tracks (twelve if you buy the deluxe edition) but it definitely shows that Lynne still knows his way around a good rock/pop song, and the disc doesn't stray too far from the style we associate with his best work, on albums such as ELO's Out Of The Blue & his 1990 solo effort, Armchair Theatre. It's an enjoyable record that should please longtime fans. The other good news is that Lynne is planning a full tour in Europe and the USA later this year, with a band that includes longtime ELO member Richard Tandy. If you like ELO, or Lynne's work with other artists, Alone In The Universe will be a great addition to your music library. Here are links to the video for "When I Was A Boy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM34A80RTv4, and a recent television performance of the ELO classic "Evil Woman" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6DUEpsVQ4A.

I'm not a follower of bicycle racing but how could I possibly not go downtown to cheer on the riders from all over the world as they braved our cobblestoned hills? Yesterday I drove to my son's house in Church Hill and we walked to Libby Hill to watch the practice. It was a glorious day and, while the crowds were smaller than I had expected, it was lots of fun.
We walked down the hill to near Poe's Pub where I took a picture of a scene that would have been familiar to my great-grandfather, Harry Stilson. He took a picture of his sister, Vera, at nearly that same spot almost 100 years ago so of course I had to take video and photos of bicyclists pedaling up Williamsburg Road to compare with the scene in 1919.
Then tonight I braved the detoured roads to watch the folks who rode the course "just like the pros." Well, maybe not just like the pros but they're my heroes, anyhow. Dark, wet, slick roads, including the steep,steep, steep hill by Bellvue School on 23rd which is scary to even drive, much less ride a bike on. I felt like yelling "be careful!" even yesterday when it wasn't raining. Those cobblestones are treacherous!
My son's friend, Will, was riding tonight and I wanted to meet my son Patrick at Libby Hill so we could look for him together but there was an accident on the downtown expressway which routed all traffic to the Cary Street side of the race course where we got derailed. I pulled into a private parking lot and jumped out, figuring that I could leave if someone needed to park but that didn't happen. There wasn't anyone else watching from there so I stood alone across the street from Main Street Station & the old railroad YMCA and yelled encouragement to every single biker who passed. One man walking by clapped for me, saying I deserved to be applauded for my efforts.
The last hour or so I was joined by a woman from Knoxville, Tennessee, whose husband was riding tonight. She ended up in the same parking lot when she ran out of road. They own a bike shop and obviously she knew a whole lot more about bicycles and racing than I did but we both yelled just as loudly. "Y'all be careful out there!" hollered by me was answered with "yes, ma'am" (by Southerners) and thumbs up or "thanks!" by others. Most faces wore smiles despite rain and exhaustion and it was clear that this was a fun thing to do.
I never saw Will and wouldn't have recognized him in his helmet anyway. I did see an amazing assortment of men, women, older, younger, black, white, all having a great time. One rider yelled "I love you, Richmond!" and I responded that we loved them, too. And we did. Anyone with the determination, stamina, and grit to mount a bike and face the seven hills of Richmond in the rain and dark deserves our admiration, our cowbells, cheers, and yes, our love.
I'm going back this week end. If you're in Richmond, come, too.

This is over my crafting desk in the den - "A. A. A. for Ali"
This is in the hall leading to the kitchen. " J-Josh, A-Ali, N-Noah, H-Hayden" Our whole family in initials. Oh yeah!
Baby sister's room - "H. H. H. H. for Hayden" and I'm embarrassed to admit that I have 2 more "Hs" in the works as we speak. See..... S-u-p-p-o-r-t G-r-o-u-p.
Big Brother's Room - "N for Noah" (p.s. that swatch of brown fabric with white polka dots is from his nursery when he was an itty bitty baby. Sigh.)
Me again. How else would you know where I sleep!? Duh! "A for Ali "- again.
And even the hubby gets his bed-side labeled (you know, in case he forgets which side of the bed is his) "J for Josh." I also currently have the letters EAT in progress and once I finish those, they will go in my kitchen. Not quite the same thing, but definitely on the border. So you see. Issues! I don't think there is actually a cure for my disease though. Every time I see a letter that relates to one of my special people, it has to come home with me. Whether I buy it, make it, steal it (ha ha, j/k), it will be mine! I could think of a billion worse things to be addicted to I guess, and I am not currently a danger to myself or others. So for now I will continue "tagging" our house with our letters. I'll run out of wall space eventually, right? Ha ha. I know. I know.

_raw XML events, which might look like this:
<foo> <bar name="spock"> </bar> </foo>
sourcetype="xml" | xpath outfield=name "//bar/@name"
Example 2: Extract the
identity_id and
instrument_id from the
_raw XML events:
<DataSet xmlns=""> <identity_id>3017669</identity_id> <instrument_id>912383KM1</instrument_id> <transaction_code>SEL</transaction_code> <sname>BARC</sname> <currency_code>USA</currency_code> </DataSet> <DataSet xmlns=""> <identity_id>1037669</identity_id> <instrument_id>219383KM1</instrument_id> <transaction_code>SEL</transaction_code> <sname>TARC</sname> <currency_code>USA</currency_code> </DataSet>
... | xpath outfield=identity_id "//DataSet/identity_id"
This search will return two results:
identity_id=3017669 and
... | xpath outfield=instrument_id "//DataSet[sname=\"BARC\"]/instrument_id"
Because you specify
sname="BARC", this search will return one result:

Sorry -- my previous comment didn't appear correctly. The first example was XML with a "type" attribute. The second example was XML with a "xsi:type" attribute.
It appears that Splunk's xpath doesn't handle namespaces correctly? xpath can successfully extract the CallType from this:

But fails to extract anything if you try it on this:

No problem Sophy, thanks for pointing me to spath - will take a look at it
Izakw, thanks! i corrected the examples. you may also want to check out the spath command for XML and JSON field extraction.
Tried on Splunk 4.3.3 , it didn't work as documented. We had to specify the outfield= before the XPath expression:

This works: xpath outfield=identity_id "//DataSet/identity_id"
This doesn't work: xpath "//DataSet/identity_id" outfield=identity_id

The MTC is a wondrous place.
In the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Dr. Jones' quest is to recover the ark of the covenant. A treasure chest of sorts that carried the original ten commandments that was carried by the Hebrews. In the film the ark is discovered and retrieved by Nazi Germany and a French archaeologist named Beloch who plan to used the power of the ark to lay waste to enemies of the SS. In one particular scene, Beloch dresses up in ceremonial Hebrew gear and performs some kind of ritual to open the ark. Initially Beloch is bewildered at the contents of the ark. Sand. Nothing but sand. But slowly he sees something stirring in the sand...a mysterious blue light. It begins to swirl and grow and eventually dozens of small angelic looking apparitions exit the ark and start to float and flit among the nazis. "It's beeeauuutifulllll", says Beloch. One particular vision approaches Beloch, gently considering his face, then instantly turns into a terrible specter of terror and death. At which point Beloch's head catches fire and explodes just as the nazi leaders' faces melt off of their skulls. The destruction lasts about 10 seconds, afterwhich the angels return to the ark along with the melted carcases of the evil nazis.
The MTC is not unlike Spielberg's vision of the ark of the covenant. If you have prepared your spirit, body, and attitude, you will look upon the MTC and see nothing but beautiful angelic spirits. If you are not prepared? Your face will melt. There were several elders and sisters around me with their heads on fire, but I personally saw nothing but angels. I had a riot in the MTC.
Sheldon recently had a funny experience happen involving a young lass and a rotisserie chicken. Sheldon, if you read this, I am formally giving you two weeks notice. Either you blog that story or I will. It is $$$ and belongs on the interweb for all to read. It must be documented. And I'd like to do it. In any case, your story reminded me of one of my classic embarassing moments. Which I shall now share.
The MTC is largely a community of sweaty dirty dudes that need to shower. Being a communal type place, the showers are also communal. With a limited supply of hot water, it was a classic example of "the early bird gets the worm." He who showers first showers warm. Everyone else showered cold. The only other way to guarantee yourself a hot shower was to do it at night. This was not ideal for me; I liked that squeaky clean early morning feeling. But hey...I went through my whole high school experience without caring about hygiene, so this can't be too bad. So I started showering at night.
One particular night I had showered and was shaving at the long multi-sinked counter. I was completely alone in that huge bathroom. Just as I'd started applying the shaving cream, I saw out of the corner of my eye an elder that was bouncing his way into the bathroom. I recognized him as one of the guys headed to Brazil. But instead of walking he was bouncing, like he was in a sack race or something. I was concentrating heavily on shaving so I didn't pay much mind to it. He bounced over to the hangers, hung up his towel, and bounced into the showers. 90 seconds later he bounced back out, dried off, and bounced over to the urinal. At this point I was heavily involved in my razor work. I hated shaving. I only did it once every 3 days but it always resulted in a neck that looked like I'd dragged barbed wire down the front of it. No matter how carefully I shaved it always hurt. But I still tried hard. And concentrated. After the bouncer finished at the urinal he bounced over to the sink next to me and started washing his hands.
I've always had a gift for sarcasm. It was a way of life in my family. Instead of my mother telling me my clothes looked grungy or weird she'd say, "what, is there a hobo convention in town?" The MTC experience was great for me because it allowed me to fine tune my sarcasm craft. There were a few elders in my district that were dry and witty so I had to be on top of my game. This particular night I was feeling extra sarcastic so I turned my eyes to look at the Brazillian elder through the mirror and said, "so is there any particular reason we're hopping around tonight?" His reaction was odd. He just turned his head and stared. Like a manaquin. Or like Arnie in The Terminator. No words, no emotions. Just a cold hard stare that could have burned holes in my cranium with its intensity. Bewildered I turned my head and looked him in the face. Then my eyes fell. To his amputated leg.
I had lived in the same building as this kid for the better part of 5 weeks. I had seen him multiple times every day. His room was three doors down from mine. I even saw him out on P-day during recreation time playing volleyball. He had no limp. He didn't even have a slight hitch in his step. He was as skilled a walker as anyone else on campus. Yet he had a prosthetic leg.
After considering his fleshy stump for what seemed like 11 days my eyes slowly returned to his face. No smile. No frown. Just that stare. What was he, a vulcan? I knew I had nothing to say that would work. No apology sufficient. No dry witty remark that would lighten the mood or fake happy compliment that would stroke his pride. I had nothing. And that's exactly what I said. Nothing. I shrugged my shoulders, shook my head, and returned to my shaving.
And he bounced out of the bathroom into the night.

Queensland MP Verity Barton's political future is up in the air after she was defeated in LNP pre-selection for the seat of Broadwater on the Gold Coast.
Former Newman government minister David Crisafulli won the nod ahead of Ms Barton, who has been the member for Broadwater since the 2012 state election.
Mr Crisafulli, who moved to the Gold Coast from Townsville after losing the seat of Mundingburra in the 2015 state election, won the pre-selection by a comfortable margin, reportedly defeating Ms Barton by 90 votes to 24.
Rumours of Mr Crisafulli's return to politics had been heralded by some commentators as a threat to Queensland opposition leader Tim Nicholls, with many viewing the 38-year-old as a potential leader of the LNP.
"Now the hard work begins to ensure we can win the seat and fight for the things that matter," Mr Crisafulli said in a statement.
Despite the speculation Mr Crisafulli could become a rival to his leadership, Mr Nicholls welcomed his pre-selection.
"I congratulate David and welcome him to the LNP team that will fight to rid Queensland of this do-nothing Palaszczuk Labor government," he said.
Ms Barton's time in state politics hasn't been without controversy.
She became the youngest woman elected to Queensland parliament in 2012 aged just 26, but was the LNP's third candidate of the campaign after her two predecessors were forced to withdraw.
She was re-elected in 2015 with a 4.1 per cent swing against her despite revelations her driving licence had been suspended in both 2012 and 2013 after failing to pay road tolls, and that she had driven while unlicensed.
In March, Mr Nicholls said Ms Barton was doing a "great job" despite some speculation LNP figures were concerned about her performance as an MP.
Ms Barton congratulated Mr Crisafulli on the victory.
"I have very proudly represented the community of Broadwater in the Queensland Parliament since 2012 and will continue that important role until the next state election, whenever that may be," she said.

ABS FILAMENT is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Plastic.
It comes in a wide range of colors and is strong, flexibility, malleability and has a higher temperature resistance.
It has a plastic odor due to its petroleum-based origins.
ABS Filament begins to melt at 356°F (180°C) and works at 446°F (230°C).
Please be sure to use the ABS Button (Fast Extrusion Button) which is the one closest to the tip of the LIX PEN UV when using ABS Filament.
When the LIX PEN UV is in ABS Mode the Light Diodes will be Red.
PLA FILAMENT is Poly Lactic Acid Plastic.
It also comes in a variety of colors with an attractive glossy translucency.
It is produced from plant-based origins, such as corn starch and has a semi-sweet smell and is a bio-based alternative to ABS.
It has slightly less strength and flexibility than ABS and is also sensitive to moisture, extreme heat and light during storage.
PLA begins to melt at 320°F (160°C) and works at 356°F (180°C).
Please be sure to use the PLA Button (Slow Extrusion Button) which is the second or top button of the LIX PEN UV when using PLA Filament.

Are you in situations where you, just you, are hanging out with a couple? Everyone knows this as being the "third wheel". No!!!! Life and your social existence are forever extinct. Totally kidding, you are still alive and you are going to have fun in these situations unless you choose to be miserable.
It's a safe assumption that at least one of them is your friend hence why you're enduring this type of hangout. Some things you won't have control over (ex. If they start making out right next to you), but you can also end up leading the hangout with confidence.
If you are only friends with half of the relationship:
-Exterminate any elephant in the room and get to know your friend's partner. Figure out who they are as a person and latch onto anything you two have in common.
-Give them time to talk about things, but don't evaporate yourself. One of the most common occurrences in third wheel hangouts is the couple hangs out like there's no one else with them and the single individual becomes isolated and mute.
If you dislike your friend's partner:
-Try to be civil. You don't want you and your friend to have a falling out over who they are doing. Focus conversing with your friend and hang out with both of them for shorter periods (1-2 hour sessions).
-Plan more hangouts with just your friend. Some people (maybe you and your friend's partner) unfortunately won't ever mesh with each other whether it's polar opposite interests & beliefs or the way one's actions & words are interpreted by another. Why be stressed through a situation where you are trying to have fun?
If you are friends with both individuals in the relationship:
-This is a great situation because you can have in-depth conversations with both people, preventing you from being the one whose outside looking in.
-Be included, but also respect boundaries. This varies on how you are your friends are because my friends and I joke all the time and sometimes with sexual innuendo, but other groups of friends are a little more reserved. If your friend(s) is/are in a relationship, it's not attractive to be flirting and draped all over one of them. I used to ask myself "If I was in a relationship, would I want one of my friends flirting with my partner all night? Probably not."
Some Extra Tips:
-If a couple is purposely excluding you and being full hands on each other while you're there, it's not worth your sanity to hang out with those types of people. They are either jerks or lack self control with each other.
-If they are being indecisive about what to do, take the initiative to make suggestions. If you are indecisive, try to come together as a group on doing something where no one is going to feel left out or feel bored easily.
-If your friend is starting to act differently in front of you and their partner, don't banish them out of your life. It's common for people to start meshing with who they are dating if they have strong feelings for them. If they are starting to dabble in activities that affect their well-being, then be there to try to help them through it; never walk out of someone's life unless you're being shoved out and being destroyed in the process.
Being single, I've learned that everyone as an individual has the power to be the best that they can be. You can still shine just as bright as someone who is in a relationship. You don't have less worth being single. If anything, I've been able to figure out who I am so that I can make someone in the future feel special the way that they should be treated.
Have a fantastic day everyone! 🙂

Butler's Lives of the Saints – Saint Luanus, or Lugid or Molua, Abbot in Ireland
He was educated at Benchor under Saint Coemgall, and, as Saint Bernard assures us, founded one hundred monasteries in Ireland. Among these the chief was that of Cluain-fearta Molua, on the borders of Ossory and Queen's county, in Leinster. Saint Lugid prescribes a monastic rule which was long observed in Ireland; in it he enjoined the strictest silence and recollection, and forbid women being ever allowed to approach the church of the monks. He passed to immortal glory on the 4th of August, 622. See Usher's Antiquities, etc.

Johannesburg: South Africa's fast bowler Morne Morkel has said he is happy for new bowling sensation Vernon Philander, and believes he deserves each and every single one of his phenomenal 45-wicket in six Test matches.
Morkel said he was not bothered by the performances of Philander and Dale Steyn as cricket was a team game, and he believed his special game was round the corner.
"It is a team game and I don't mind who takes the wickets as long as we are winning. I'm bowling first-change so I'm only too happy to come on when Vern or Dale have already taken a couple," Sports24 quoted Morkel, as saying.
"It's important not to get caught up in all that stuff about who's taking the wickets and how many. I'm bowling well at the moment and, if I'm contributing in some way at the other end while they are taking the wickets, then I'm happy," he said.
"The bowlers are a team within a team and we share in each other's success. I'm loving Vern's run at the moment but, at the same time, I also believe that my 'special game' is just around the corner," he added.

Evolutionists then claim to determine the amount of time since the death of the organism by measuring the current ratio.
The lower the amount of Carbon-14, the longer it has been since death occurred.
- pow online dating
- safer dating sites
- are demi lovato and trace cyrus dating
- Medford oregon free sexchat
- indian dating azdg
- the rules for online dating pdf
There is then a ratio of Carbon-14 to Carbon-12 in the bodies of plants, animals and humans which could be considered as fixed at the time of death.
After death, the Carbon-14 would decay and the ratio of the two isotopes would change.
For some reason, which I have not yet figured out, at least one person per week has been asking me about the Carbon-14 Radiometric Dating Technique.
They want to know if it is accurate or if it works at all.
That means that starting with one pound of 100% Carbon-14, half of it would decay in 5,730 years, leaving 50%, or half a pound.

While media attention was focused on the sale of a rare Leonardo da Vinci painting, a piece of modern art being derisively described as "ketchup on canvas" just sold for nearly $50 million dollars.
During an auction at Christie's in New York last night, de Vinci's 500-year-old "Christ as Salvator Mundi" ended up selling for a whopping $450 million dollars, more than four times its estimated price.
However, another piece of "art," appropriately titled Untitled, was bought for $46,437,500. As you can see, it resembles what would probably happen if a 2-year-old toddler was left on its own with a bottle of ketchup.
According to Christie's, the "art" is "the largest example from Cy Twombly's legendary Bacchus series."

"Red is the colour of wine, but also of blood, and these canvases encompass both the sensual pleasure and violent debauchery associated with the god. This contrast is echoed in the paintings' combination of euphoric loops that soar upwards and vermilion floods of paint that ooze and cascade down the canvas.
"The unfurling gestures of these paintings were made, like Henri Matisse's works in old age, with a brush affixed to the end of a pole, which lends them their vitality and scale."
As we highlight in the video below, the above gibberish is an example of obscurantism, a rhetorical device modern art snobs use to disguise the fact that their "art" is actually completely meaningless.
It's a fancy way of confusing people so that their initial discernment is temporarily suspended, making them afraid of criticizing such "art" for fear of appearing uncultured or ignorant.
In reality, their first instinct is completely correct. The vast majority of modern art is talentless trash – sometimes literally trash – and the entire industry is a scam to con pretentious idiots out of their money.

Michael Schumacher is bidding to switch race numbers before the start of the 2010 season.
Michael Schumacher is bidding to switch race numbers before the start of the 2010 season.
Before the seven time world champion decided to come out of retirement this year, Mercedes GP had already signed Nico Rosberg and entered him in the world championship with the number 3.
As things stand, 41-year-old Schumacher was due therefore to take the number 4, but Bild newspaper reveals that the German has asked to swap with Rosberg due to superstition.
Bild said the FIA will shortly approve the change.
"Ross (Brawn) knows that I prefer to have odd race numbers," Schumacher is quoted as saying.
Schumacher won all seven of his world championships with odd numbers: five with the number 1, and once apiece with 3 and 5.
The race number 4, however, has never been driven to a F1 title, and in the last ten years has only recorded 7 grand prix wins.

MDF house shapes, blank templates of a terrace of cottages & houses crafting.
I have cut out several MDF shaped houses, random shapes and sizes.
They are plain, simple shapes, all 18mm thick and the tallest in this set is roughly 70mm. I can easliy make other shapes and sizes, so if there is anything specific, please ask, I'm sure I can oblige.
The ones in the photograph are an example, the shapes are all basically similar and just vary from house to house.
The houses can be coloured, painted or decorated and used as a basis to a beach scene, townscape or whatever you decide.
There are 10 pieces in this set, but I can supply more (or less) if required, again, please ask.
One suggestion is that they are brightly coloured and glued in a tight row on a backing board and used as a colourful decoration or wallhanging.
Please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything specific that you would like.
I have made several of these sets of blanks for the local preschool and for my friends young children to play with.

CUBAN revolutionary leader Fidel Castro has died at the age of 90.
The death of the former president was announced by his brother Raul Castro, the current Cuban president, on state television.
In his address the elderly leader said Fidel died at 10.29pm local time on Friday and he will be cremated on Saturday before a period of national mourning is observed.
He ended the announcement by shouting the revolutionary slogan: "Toward victory, always!"
Fidel Castro stepped aside ten years ago after suffering a severe gastrointestinal illness, and before his 90th birthday in August he told supporters he expected to die soon.
He led a guerrilla coup in 1959 to overthrow the regime of the US-backed former Cuban president Fulgencio Batista, and remained hostile to Washington throughout his life.
As US President Barack Obama moved to heal relations with Havana, he responded: "We don't need the empire to give us anything."
And when he closed the twice-a-decade congress of the Cuban Communist Party in April he called on his countrymen to maintain socialist ideals in the face of closer ties with the US.
Fidel Castro's last appearance in public was at an event to mark his birthday in August.
The gala celebrated key moments in his life, including repelling the US-backed attempt to invade in the Bay of Pigs in 1961.
It was a defining moment in the Cold War, which reached its peak a year later when the world came to the brink of nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Castro survived numerous assassination attempts by US spies, including a plot to kill him with an exploding cigar.
But he clung to power, enduring decades under a crippling US trade embargo.
As its greatest ally the Soviet Union collapsed, Cuba remained a pariah Communist state at a cost of becoming one of the world's poorest nations.
When his brother opened the door to a thawing of relations with the US in 2014, Castro cautiously blessed the deal – but only after a month-long silence.
Fidel Castro was born on August 13, 1926, in eastern Cuba where his father, a Spanish immigrant, organised labour for US sugar companies.
After attending Jesuit schools he received law and social science degrees from the University of Havana.
His first foray into violent subversion came in 1953 when he and Raul joined rebels in an attack on a military barracks in the eastern city of Santiago. Most of their comrades were killed and the brothers were jailed.
After receiving a pardon he fled to Mexico and raised a rebel force – supported by Che Guevara and others – who in 1956 sailed to Cuba, only for most to die in a botched landing.
But after rallying support in the country's eastern mountains he led a revolutionary force into Havana and unseated Batista on New Year's Day, 1959.
Declaring victory, he said: "I am not interested in power nor do I envisage assuming it at any time.
"All that I will do is to make sure that the sacrifices of so many compatriots should not be in vain, whatever the future may hold in store for me."

In Issue #115 of Singletrack Magazine, Mark tested, reviewed and recommended the new 2FO 2.0 flat pedal shoes from Specialized
A good flat shoe asks the impossible. You want efficient power transfer, which points towards a super-stiff sole, but you also want flexibility to allow the shoes to grip and to mould around the pedal. Go too soft and you sacrifice long ride comfort and efficiency. Too stiff and you lose the feel of the pedal underfoot. Then there's the practicality of actually walking around and pushing your bike.
Specialized's previous incarnation of the 2FO (Foot Out, Flat Out) was probably too far along the stiff scale if anything, but with the new 2FO things have softened, both in the platform and in general comfort. Impressively, Specialized has achieved this while also shedding 100g from each shoe, bringing them down to 340g per shoe (size 44). Having worn these off the bike almost as much as on for the last few weeks I can confirm they are comfortable shoes – of that there is no doubt.
On the bike they have that all-important 'feel' through an updated SlipNot™ rubber sole. There's more flexibility and grip-levels are on par with the stickiest Stealth rubber from Five Ten. Not only does the clever tread pattern give unwavering pedal traction, thanks to the deeper inset areas around the toe and heel, they also give you good off-bike walking grip for when you need to get off and push. It's like having the opposite of studs, and yet it still works!
Above ground you'll find added protection around the instep and over the roomy toe box. Adding both comfort and protection, a foam-filled lining runs across the entire upper. This, combined with the lace-up closure, means the 2FOs offer an adaptable fit like a universal elastic glove.
Specialized first developed its Body Geometry shoe range more than a decade ago in partnership with Dr Andy Pruitt, a highly regarded designer of footwear and a director of the CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center. That Body Geometry heritage is obvious when you examine the footbed of the 2FO – there is loads of instep support both inside and very obviously on the outside too. The footbed is also angled slightly outwards, which has the effect of improving the alignment between your feet and knees. Those used to flatter footbeds may initially find this odd, but in my experience it works. And it's particularly appreciated by those of us with sore and ageing knees.
The 2FOs are reasonably well protected from the weather, and the all-over smooth outer leaves them looking pretty good after a quick hose down at the end of a filthy ride. With the added foam lining, they're also a little warmer, which is a boon for UK riders.
The new 2FOs successfully combine the sticky traction and protection of a DH race shoe, with the low weight, comfort and efficiency of an everyday trail shoe. And that leaves them with very few compromises. If you really aren't into being clipped in, the new 2FO could be that one shoe to rule them all.

Who's getting best presidential candidate interviews, Jimmy Fallon or Stephen Colbert?
Stephen Colbert told his "Late Show" audience Monday night that as long as they are in his house, they will be courteous to his guests.
When the audience started booing Republican presidential candidate Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for his views on gay marriage, Colbert stepped in.
"Guys, however you feel, he's my guest, so please don't boo him," Colbert said.
Cruz was the latest candidate to join Colbert, who is the newest, and maybe most powerful, late night talk show host -- at least when it comes to politics.
FOX News 2016 Presidential Election Headquarters
"One of the reasons we're seeing Colbert taking the lead is they're booking these guests because Colbert's show is more cerebral, political, and civic-minded to begin with," said Robert Thompson, Director, Bleier Center for Television & Popular Culture at Syracuse University.
But don't count out "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon.
Ted Johnson, Senior Editor at Variety and Radio Host of "PopPolitics" on Sirius XM, says Fallon has been getting the most attention, but expects Colbert to be the standout in the long run.
"He has more of a political bent than Fallon, and he's a bit more probing and, as we saw with the [Joe] Biden interview, was able to handle some pretty serious moments."
For every candidate, appearing on a late-night talk show not only opens up visibility to a large audience, it can also bring a sense of legitimacy to a campaign.
"Late-night TV viewers are an important segment of the electorate," says Thompson. "Every appearance further establishes your identity that you're out there. If you appear on Colbert or Wilmore, the implication is you must really be in the running, or you would not be on the show."
Another benefit of making a late-night talk show appearance is the large and lasting online reach it oftentimes generates, says Johnson.
"It's much more likely that a campaign will see a candidate's appearance [on a late-night show] circulated as a viral video the next day than a routine campaign appearance or a spot on a news channel," he says.
But an appearance alone is not enough to solidify an increase in the polls. Politicians have to 'wow' an audience to make the opportunity worthwhile and to generate positive buzz – something that doesn't come easy to all.
"No candidate has really stumbled yet, but I would have to say that Jeb Bush's appearance on the debut of 'Colbert' was a missed opportunity," says Johnson. "He seemed stuck a bit too much in 'campaign' mode and probably could have taken more opportunities at humor, like when Colbert made fun of the exclamation point on his logo."

Season's Greetings and Latest News from the Director
The Mary Roxburghe Trust wishes all our friends and supporters a very merry festive season and a happy 2018. November and December have been full of activity at West Horsley Place. We passed an important milestone on 1 November when Guildford Borough Council's Planning Committee voted to approve our proposals for changes of use at West Horsley Place to enable our vision for the future. We were delighted that, save for a single abstention, the Committee's vote was unanimous. We were also grateful for the considerable and widespread support we received for our application from our local communities. All this support gives us renewed vigour to press forward with our plans in the knowledge that we have such fulsome backing.
One of the most pressing repairs to the house was completed as planned just in time for the arrival of a film unit at West Horsley Place who will now be with us until the end of January. (This is for an exciting historical drama project for television but we can't say more than that just yet.) The repair in question was to the large first floor "Serliana" arched window on the south west front to Lady Crewe's bedroom. This involved dismantling the whole window structure after bracing the brickwork opening prior to the repair of widespread rot and decay in its timbers, which in turn threatened the stability of the whole wall – hence the precautionary bracing scaffold seen by visitors to the opera in the summer.
Opening up the fabric revealed a number of discoveries. We already believed that this wing had at some point been reduced by at least one bay of the Tudor timber framed structure in this, the oldest part of the house dating from 1425. The discovery of charred timbers beneath the floorboards suggested a fire might have been the cause, with a new brick elevation then added to the truncated wing. We found this "new" brickwork was not bonded properly to the side walls or the first floor joists, making the whole structure unstable; this has now been fully strengthened in our repair.
A new steel frame now stabilises the opening, hidden behind the repaired and reinstalled window which has been expertly repaired in oak by Dan, Phil and John of R.J. Smith Ltd, retaining as much as possible of the original timber. Opening up also revealed one of the massive 1425 posts in the thickness of the wing's side wall, complete with tenon slot for a now vanished archbrace presumably removed when the room was later given its present classical style.
We have also taken the opportunity to stabilise the central brick pediment above the front door and take down a tottering chimney above the small dining room prior to rebuilding. Inside the house, we have relined several of the flues so that they can be safely used. The presently derelict northwest corner of the house is being prepared for major structural repairs to rotted timbers and brickwork, and the installation of new toilets which will be available for house guests and visitors. This work will proceed around filming commitments through this winter and into the spring.

Why Are You Writing?
Why Are You Writing?
It is a question I have asked myself. Along with, do we just right for ourselves?
I guess what prompted sole searching was this…. I have a friend, actually a life model from my art class that has written a rather nice book. It is a good story, a rather nice romance. I thought of BVS and had her pass it along to Laurie Sanders. Chatting further, the life model told me that she didn't want to do revisions, that as far as she was concerned the book was finished. I knew there and then that the book, unless vanity published, would not see the light of day. It is not enough to write, even if you write well. The stories need to stand on their own in the market place and they need to be commercial enough to sell. It makes sense in my opinion to make the stories you write as market driven as possible by aiming at the market. Writing for your self is great fun, but writing with a view to publication is quite a different matter.
I'm sorry if that turns our life passion into a commodity, but it is a commodity when you stop and think about it. If you intend to get your words in print.
If our books were a can of beans with an interesting label and a pretty picture people might stop and look at it. They might even pick it up. But when they read that the beans were strawberry jelly and curry flavored, they would put them down again. I wouldn't advocate making the product bland just for it to fit in. I am more in favor of individual, unique, thought provoking, and challenging writing. However, it makes sense to cut out the things that don't work from the outset. If you are told that wimpy beach bum heroes just don't sell, and that rugged dependable types do sell it kind of makes sense to do more of what the consumer wants (rugged dependable type heroes) and less of what they do not want (wimpy beach bum type heroes).
I suppose as I have asked the question I should answer it for myself.
Why do I write? I love it.. it is as frustrating as heck but I love writing and drawing, it is my life. And I suppose I am optomistic enough to think someone might be interested to read and look at the work I do
Happy writing and make every word count

Innovative social media technology company Giga Entertainment Media (GEM)
today announced that it has appointed seasoned global business and
technology executive James Massa as Chief Executive Officer to lead the
company through its next phase of innovation and exponential growth.
"There couldn't be a better time for GEM to bring James aboard. I'm
excited we were able to attract such impressive talent," said GEM
founder and Chief Advisor Gary Nerlinger.
Indeed "seasoned" and "impressive" is James' background. Having been at
the ground level of three startup internet technology companies that all
reached a successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) or an acquisition
exit, James often quips that he was involved with the internet before
people could spell "www." James carries degrees in both Computer Science
and Business Administration and has consulted with NASA at Kennedy Space
Center on IP based communication technologies. Most recognizable to
technologists and business leaders alike is James' involvement with
Cisco Systems during their decade of extreme rapid growth and high
double digit multiples.
James joined Cisco Systems and served for 14 years in a variety of
executive positions including responsibility for all commercial
operations in the Southeast United States, VP of Federal Operations, VP
of Global Space and Defense, VP of Global Government Alliances, and VP
and Chief Strategist of Government Govt. Solutions Group, As Cisco's top
executive for global government markets James held P&L responsibility
for an organization of over $500M and grew the global government market
from 5% to 20% of Cisco's total annual revenues at that time. During
James' tenure Cisco's grew from $365M annual revenues to the $26B.
James served as the Chairman of the Internet Architecture Task Force for
the NSTAC (National Security Telecommunications Advisory Council), an
advisory council to the President of the United States. During such he
played an important role in industry's assistance to the Federal
Government's response to the 9/11 attacks which destroyed the Twin
Towers, damaged the Pentagon, and temporarily crippled Wall Street. He
also served as a Board Director for the United States Technology
Training Institute (USTTI), whose focus includes global broadcast
spectrum management as well as internet and cellular service licensing
and expansion.
"GEM has developed a treasure trove of dynamic products for white label,
streaming, B2C markets, as well as, innovative, exciting apps for the
ever-expansive social media market," said Massa. "It's all about drawing
massive audiences to immerse themselves in GEM's offerings. I look
forward to working with this innovative team, and leading GEM to a high
return for its shareholders and exciting products for its customers."
As part of James' post-Cisco career, he formed Loom Enterprises,
broadening his interests and expertise beyond high tech through C-Suite
consultation to emerging companies focused on green energy technologies,
AgTech and BioTech. Based on his involvement in 70 acquisitions, 20
mergers, and the forming over 140 strategic alliances, James has
authored a book on forming synergistic business relationships.
