Bra bitar ur Hobbes "Leviathan", 2
"But whatsoever is the object of any mans Appetite or Desire; that is it, which he for his part calleth Good: And the object of his Hate, and Aversion, Evill; And of his Contempt, Vile, and Inconsiderable. Fot these words of Good, Evill, and Contemptible, are ever used with relation to the person that useth them: There being nothing simply and absolutely so; nor any common Rule of Good and Evill, to be taken from the nature of the objects themselves; but from the Person of the man (where there is no Common-wealth;) or, (in a Common-wealth,) from the Person that representeth it; or from an Arbitrator or Judge, whom men disagreeing shall by consent set up, and make his sentence the Rule thereof." (I.6)

Magic has always been a big fantasy to me. I loved Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Twilight Saga, and many others that has magic wands, book of spells, potions, etc.
Balthazar Blake is a master sorcerer in modern day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath.Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler, a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protege. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic., and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Story. I like the way the story is combined ancient and modern day Manhattan. It reaches out to contemporary audience which makes it magical. The battle between good and evil is always there, plus a few magic tricks and a mixture of geekiness! I just didn't feel the "fight-plasma-scene" at the end. I was expecting a little something more.
Actors. You can never go wrong with Nicholas Cage (Balthazar), flat hair or not. He's a manic actor that brings out his character in every movie he's in. He's well loved by almost everybody. Jay Baruchel (Dave) is as nerd as I think he should be in the movie. He played the average teenage boy that is expected of him. Now, watching Alfred Molina (Horvath) on screen makes me think that I'm watching SpiderMan. Haha! He's got the evilness in his character in every movie he's in.
Visuals. CGI is great. I think modern magic is the new thing. The plasma volt though is an easy power, a sorcerer can pull. ( I think) I was expecting a little bit more on Dace's encounter with Morgana, but pulling up a little physics there was good enought to justify the modern magic.
It's a good family movie. The magic is exciting and moral value on relationship is a good quality piece of worth.

Baa Humbug, There is No Santa Claus or Mickey Mouse!!
At this time of year comes every parent's dilemma. Do you tell your child that Santa Claus is just a made up story or legend or do you tell them he is real? While at a Disney Park or Cruise do you tell them Mickey Mouse is just a person in a costume? Why is this decision important, or is it? I believe it is very important.
Our modern Santa Claus did not start out as a red suited fat man living in the North Pole with a group of magical little people and flying elves. Santa was a real living person by the name of Nicholas and he lived in a little city place called Myra. You can find documentation in the records of the Counsel of Nicaea around the year 325 AD that prove his existence.
Nicholas was the son of rich merchants who died when he was a young man. Nicholas was faithful believer in Christ. He went to church every day. He used money from his inheritance to help those in need and gave freely to the church. He became a priest and later was made a Bishop. As a Bishop he was called by the Roman Emperor Constantine I to the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. There he helped shape the Christian Faith into what we know it as today. When other Bishops wanted to deny the divinity of Jesus Christ Bishop Nicholas argued the point for four months. After four months a one of the other Bishops was determined to continue the agreement and would not be swayed. The other Bishop of divisive and at the end of four months of debate Bishop Nicholas physically fought with him to stop it and in the end the divinity of Christ was no longer argued. He was a defender of the faith.
It is important to know at least that he was real and that there is a reason for us still remembering him today. So what does St Nick have to do with Christmas? Legend goes he found out about a family with 3 daughters, the eldest of which had just reached the age to marry. At that time if a young lady could not get married she was doomed to become a prostitute or be a cleaning woman and live poor for the rest of her life. What a woman needed at that time to secure a marriage was a dowry. Her family would give the groom or his family money or goods to secure their life.
When Nicholas found out about the first daughter and the families prayers for a solution he had an idea. He snuck over to the house and dropped some gold coins into a window for the girl and they landed in her shoe! The family was so happy and excited! They could not believe the horror of what could have happened to their beloved daughter was now averted!
Soon came the time for the second daughter to find a husband. Still this family of modest means could not afford the dowry for this daughter either! They prayed and hoped for a miracle! If someone dropped money off this time the father wanted to know who did it. He closed the windows and barred the doors. Nicholas once again went to the house and quietly looking around found the fireplace was the only opening into the home. This time he dropped the gold coins down the chimney! They were found in the girls stocking that was hanging next to the fireplace to dry. When the family found the coins they were shock and once again praised God for the blessing and for saving their daughter!
When the third daughter came of age the father was beyond determined to find out who had been so kind to his family if it happened again. He set traps and watched for his daughter's benefactor. This time he caught Nicholas as he came to leave gold coins for the last of the girls. Nicholas swore the father to secrecy and he agreed and kept quiet for years. Nicholas told the father he was not giving the gifts but it was a gift from God. He gave gifts at Christmas time both publicly and in secret to remind people of the gift God gave mankind with the birth of Christ. He wanted people to remember the love of God.
When Nicholas died the father decided to keep up the tradition of leaving secret gifts for people. He would give the gifts in Nicholas' name. Years later he told others and they also started leaving gifts in Nicholas' name. Today we still give gifts in his name.
There is much more to learn about Bishop Nicholas and his long transformation into Santa Claus. We don't need to know all that information. All we need to know is he was real and still lives in the love of people that give today.
Again why is that so important? I believe it is important to have faith, to be able to believe in things you cannot see. When you are facing your darkest hour how can you believe there is a God that can and will see you through if you can't have faith? You can't see God but is like the wind you can see what the wind does and feel it as it blows across your face. You can see the results of prayers answered and feel His love when you need it. You can also feel His joy when you open your heart and follow His will and show kindness to others.
Santa and Mickey Mouse both help the young learn to have faith. They can also remind those of us that are 'older' yet are willing to be young at heart to be open and let go of what we know as accepted reality and believe in miracles. If you can stop and suspend, for even a moment disbelief, your knowledge of what is 'real' you can believe and have faith enriching your life. That man in the red suit at the mall, that tall Mouse walking around the Disney parks are real! Set the reality for a moment and be a child again willing to believe.

The Scalepoint of Ti
In the downward flow of nature, in a descending scale, ti speaks of Revelation. Cards drawn below this point speak of the true nature of whats at hand.
In the upward flow of will, in an ascending scale, ti is the last note. Cards drawn above ti speak of Transition: heavy with portent, pregnant with change, they are the jumping-off -- or falling-off -- point, the last step in a long climb.

My Sunshine
This is my daughter Charlotte aged 12, she is a real little mother and she is generally a very happy ray of sunshine.
I loved seeing someone elses pic similar to this, So I borrowed their idea and this is what I came up with. I did not look at the original pic while I made this so it turned out quite different.

This week I have been drawing from the model again.
I enjoy the way that models, particularly those who have never sat before, are confident in choosing inspiring poses - which suit them.
Their poses can sometimes reflect their personalities and mood, as well as being positions that they find comfortable and can hold.
The drawings here show two different models - Gill in the two drawings above, and Monica wearing a headscarf below.

I wasn't afraid to approach Aditya Chopra: Vaani
Vaani, who made her Bollywood debut with 2013 film "Shuddh Desi Romance," will be seen romancing Ranveer Singh in the movie extensively shot in Paris.
"It was so easy to work with Aditya Chopra. I was very comfortable and wasn't afraid to approach him. I would go and ask him the same questions again and again and he used answer with a lot of patience.
"I genuinely felt carefree while shooting. I was carefree because I knew no one was judging or testing me," the 28-year-old actress told reporters.
The lead pair of the film walked the ramp last night for DIVA'NI at Embassy of France here. Vaani and Ranveer also danced on song "Khulke Dhulke" from the film, which they launched yesterday at Delhi Law Faculty.
The song has been sung by Gippy Grewal and Harshdeep Kaur.
"Befikre" will hit the theatres on December 9.

86. 1 year post-op PBM pictures
when looking at these pictures, keep in mind that my scars are only 4 months old as my final reconstruction surgery was december 6, 2010. i'm not overly excited with the way my scars are looking so far but i gues this is because of how i heal. i was really hoping they would look thinner than they do.
overall, i am very pleased with my results. i am looking forward to the day i have a little bit of cash to get some nice bras and a sexy swimsuit. i love my new cleavage...and also not having to wear a bra!!!

You look fantastic Rachel. The scars will lessen with time & if you want them evened up, it can be done. Overall, I'd be happy with them.ReplyDelete
You look wonderful - I'm less than two weeks until my implant swap out and can't wait to see the results - can I ask what size implants you ended up with and what cup size it resulted in - also how tall you are - just curious about your frame and how it all turned otu as I am having a little trouble and wondering if I will be happy with the results - good sized but not huge! I'm 5'8 and about 148-150 pounds and will do 600 - 650 implants depending on what he decides when I'm under! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Hey Uppercase Addict.ReplyDelete
My implants are 350 on one side and 400 on the other. I am 5'6 1/2 and weigh 120 lbs. Your implants sound about right for you. I would not have minded going a bit bigger now that I have put on 10 lbs since starting college, but I also like the athletic look so I am happy with what I got too:)
oh...and i think my cup size is a 34C or D. haven't gone and got measured yet. i went with the Mentor High Profiles.ReplyDelete
Wow Rach! You look awesome! I especially love the last pic. I forget what you had said before. Did you have a skin and nipple sparing mastectomy?ReplyDelete

Hey Rachel,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment on my blog. You look AMAZING, and it's pictures like these that really bring up my mood about how great I can look after this whole thing is over. Congratulations.
They look good girlie! I hope mine turn out that good when I'm done :-)ReplyDelete

ζ~Elven Spirit~ζ QUEST-3~ Pic + Story
IrreplaceableShe was irreplaceable, but I didn't know what I had till it was gone. My father told me her health had began to decline again, but I pushed it all out of my mind. I went on daily just imagining she would just get better like before. I told myself she would get better day after day, but as things took a turn for the worse I knew it was time for her to leave me. I knew no matter how much I would cry and say that I wasn't ready, I would have to face what was to come.
So when the time came, all I could do was listen to her words. It would be the last I would hear of her voice, so all I could do was hold onto it's sound and sit in the misery of it all. As the rest of family prayed silently and sobbed, I watched her hand come closer to mine. It held a gold locket and she told me to take it as she knew her time was drawing near. I shook my head doing my best not to cry in front of her. I looked at the locket in a daze as time seem to slow.
Then in slow motion I watched the locket slip from her hand and her eyes close. My hand reached for hers hoping she would reach back, but I looked into her face to see a peaceful expression I had never seen before and I knew she was gone.
So my mother's locket is the only material thing I would ever treasure. It may just be a locket to someone else, but it's what keeps her in my memories. It's the only thing I have left of her, because the real treasure can never be replaced.
Like I said before, it's best to do something you know and in this case I went with something slightly personal. Well at first I was going do something sparkly and magical again, but I stopped myself. lol My game froze actually in midst of it, so maybe that was a sign. Anyway, I wanted to do something a little more meaningful and touching. Then I thought about my mom and it just turned into this. I don't know how or why, but it did. I also don't know why I was thinking about my mom, but I guess it's bound to happen occasionally. I'm just thankful it doesn't make me depress like it use to. It actually made me feel peaceful kind of thinking of her. As for the comp entry itself, I feel like I redeem myself a bit. It's not only pretty (I hope), but it has meaning. :)

I should get a gold star beside my name...
One is my actually mod folder and the other is my backup cc folder.
*click the pic for proof*
I went from 672 cc files to 464!!! I deleted over 200 items! I was like a freaking CC hoarder! It's unreal! I don't even know how my game was still running smoothly with all that! o_0
I still some accessories and one hair I'm planning to be rid of, but I got the bulk of it and I'm pretty happy with my game now. Now to update and screw up everything. xD (kidding...hopefully)
P.S. Yes the fact I'm cleaning my game out and blogging about it, means I'm done taking a break. lol

You know you're a cc addict...
When you spend a whole night deleting cc hair and still have a few pieces left that you don't want. Then you add more in and download 2 different versions of the same hair. Now you're back deleting stuff and trying to find the hair you downloaded twice. >_>
I notice most of the crappy hair I have is for males. Was I that desperate to have male hair? Probably since they don't make enough of it!!!
Anyway, I'm trying clean up my game a bit more and get back into a gaming mood. It was nice taking somewhat of a break, but sims is nice distraction and it keeps me awake sometimes. lol Being that I'm getting a bit OCD lately, I must clean my game up before playing.
Anyway, did PeggySims quit or something? Her download won't show up for me. :/

Oh geez I need to wake up! Hi! :)
I just wanted to say I'm still here and I'm sorry things have been pretty slow lately. It isn't due pure laziness or loss of interest. I just need to get my health in order. I've been passing it off as nothing, but I've been pretty out of it lately. I get some energy every so often, but then I just seem to descend back into being completely exhausted for no reason. Yesterday I could totally slept in bed all day if I really wanted too. Then you can add headaches into that lovely mix. It really takes all strength to get up and make myself do stuff now. Like right now I would rather be sleeping, but I felt like I was abandoning ya'll (lol I know it's stupid). D:
Still I'm trying pinpoint why I'm always so tired. It's funny, because I just had this convo with someone. I thought it was something else though. >_< So please bare with me.
Also Roxie is better, but still trapped in the kitchen. She has almost done her 6 weeks I believe. Still trying to get her to put more weight on her leg. I guess it's better than it was before. Still it's frustrating going back and forth between the doggie gate as she still has to be confined. Ugh I'll be glad when she can run through the house again.
Anywhooo, I have a little bit more energy today for some stuff. I still want to run a comp and judge, so don't be discouraged. I hope some more people join. >_> Maybe I'll post some simming pics even. As for lurking the forums, I saw one thread yesterday and said meh... not interested. xD It's been ages since I've posted about anything on the forum here and I'm being very picky on what I post this year. Some people aren't worth the trouble you know? Still I'll try to post more of a variety this year rather than comp pics.
As for rambling on anything else, I simply wanted to say hello and that quite alive at the moment! Maybe even a little undead. Bwhaha! ;)
P.S. It hasn't been long since I lasted posted, but I haven't had the energy to post anything other comp pics and I use to post everyday at one time, so I've been feeling a bit guilty.

*crawls from under rock* Ok now I'm caught up on the next expansion packs :P
Thanks to Monie under comments, I've caught up. I can't believe I missed the live chat and for once it was actually really informative. Dare I say even professional. :o
So along with University Life, we're getting Island paradise and a time traveling/future ep this year. I must say I'm a little excited. That is more that I ever wanted in this game. Just wow!
So University will be a subhood. Interesting and not really what I was hoping for. I guess it does keep the original worlds from being cluttered, but I don't like loading screens!!! I also see it having the glitches WA has. Anyway, this live chat has me leaning to a more positive outlook on this ep. I'm a tiny bit more excited than before, but I'm still wondering if this what I want for myself. I brought WA, because it was the new shiny thing to buy at the time and it end up being a total bore for me. I would hate to do that again. I also need a new computer soon or later to run all these games. *sigh*
Then I see we're getting a new trait slot with university, which makes me really happy! Woo! I'm sure it will come in the patch. I just hope it does screw up the townies. I really hope it comes in the patch though.
Now for Island Paradies, which will have sims traveling in boat and swimming underwater. Even living in boats and owning resorts! Ok, now that sounds AWESOME!!!! I gotta get new computer for that if anything else. If I have to, I will uninstall stuff! It's sound like one big glitch waiting to happen with the routing problems, but I'm excited! :D
Now Time travel/Future ep sound odd and interesting. Quite a new direction to go with sims. Sounds very mysterious. I don't know if I want my sims to travel through time, but I can't wait to hear more. Hmmm....
As for question segment, shout out MidnightPearl who got mention that live chat. Hehe. They never answer my questions, so I'm jealous. :D

ζ~Elven Spirit~ζ QUEST-2~ Pic + Story
Not really crazy about my picture this time, but I do like my story. The picture this round bugs me though. Not my best at all. It irritates me quite a bit. I think I'm turning to a perfectionist or getting a bit OCD. If I had found a better pose leaning down and changed her hair, it might turned out better. Well I turned it in. I'll do better next time. Just ugh....it seriously drives me crazy.
Quest 2:
I notice her temper was quite identical to mines, but something was off about her anger. Strange things happen when she angry. Most elves of her kind had a few powers, but Aurora was powers were more than expected. Dangerous even and it got worse as time went on. So worse I told her she must stay in the house and practice controlling them, but of course she would disobey.
I was gone for only a minutes or two, when she decided to sneak out. Luckily I knew where she was going and tracked her down easily. I found her in her favorite place in the forest with a boy from the village. A boy I had seen before with her. I spied on them and they appeared to be arguing quite a bit, but nothing out the usual had came about it at the time. Then I saw it and with flash, he fell to the ground.
She looked at him with fear as she glowed almost and tears fell from her eyes. Thankfully she didn't kill him, but with such act it was hard to smooth over with the rest of the village. It was only in that moment though, that I came to realize she was different from the others. That my first taste of dark magic had cursed her and left her with this deep magical scar. As she cried and asked me why she was like this, all I could do was comfort her.

Extremely nervous! Finales drive me nuts literally! Been working on this for 2 days now and I finally got it all done. Not too sure about how strong my story is compared to other two finalist, but I hope the picture makes up for the story being rushed and my brain being slightly dead. Aghhh I'm picking at it like crazy, but I did my best. Wish me luck! Got some tough competition.
Read more, to read the story and see the portrait picture I had to do with it.

Mee Siam, Lontong, Mee Rebus… these are just some of the offerings at Asam Tree Cafe, Bakery & Restaurant. This place is always crowded. I can kinda understand why. For one, they are air-conditioned, which is really great for a humid weather like this. And also, they serve quality halal certified dishes. I usually come here for their nasi padang, but this time, I also tried some other dishes!
We had the mee siam. It was a big bowl – not just full of the rice vermicelli. Even though the sauce is rich and robust, the portion of bee hoon was too much and didn't absorb the flavours well. Their Mee Rebus fair better though. The sweetness of the gravy is the main draw. It is thick enough to coat each individual noodle strand for an extra burst of flavour. The texture is just right and served with freshly-sliced chilli for some extra heat.
We love their rojak too! The crispy youtiao and thick and gooey prawn paste are simply irrestibile. What's the kick here? Their belachan IS SUPER SHIOK. Instead of adding the usual sambal chilli, the staff skilfully tossed the rojak with their homemade belachan. It gives a super spicy kick, but really, it is very addictive!
Mee Soto seems to be a popular choice for many diners here. The chicken broth is spiced with tumeric to give its characteristic yellow colour. I haven't eaten enough to company but the accompanying chilli sauce transformed the dish to the next level.
The lontong is value for money. The gravy is lemak enough without being too rich and the cabbage slices have been cooked long enough so that they require little chewing. The homemade rice pieces are not too hard.

According to an increasing number of RegCure Registry Cleaner Reviews Tim Schaller Jersey , RegCure is one of the most powerful registry cleaners that effectively detects and deletes invalid registry entries and corrects registry errors in no time. RegCure offers a wide variety of features such as deep system scan, customizable scanning options (manual and automatic scanning), registry backup and restoration, and startup process manager.

RegCure scans your system not only for registry errors and threats but also for known system errors such as DLL and runtime errors and corrupted registry entries that should be deleted in order to maximize system speed.

This is perfect for anyone who would like to keep track of the registry fixes that have been applied to their system, as registry reports include a complete description of the error and number of registry files that have been restored or fixed by the software.
RegCure is definitely a must have especially for those computer beginners who would like to keep their system safe and clean, while enjoying an easy interface!
NEW DELHI, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- At least four people were killed and nine others injured Saturday in a landslide triggered by heavy rains in Indian-controlled Kashmir, officials said.
The landslide occurred near Katra in Reasi district, around 317 km south of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
"In a landslide which was triggered here early today, four people were killed and nine others injured," an official said.
"The injured were immediately taken to hospital, where four were relieved after providing first-aid, but the condition of five injured is reported to be critical."
Three of the deceased were identified as pilgrims, while the fourth was said to be a ponny walla (horse puller).
There is a shrine perched in the hills of the Trikuta mountains of Katra town. Millions of Hindu devotees visit the shrine annually.
Officials said debris of the landslide hit a shelter where the people were resting.
Following the incident, the pilgrimage was stopped for a couple of hours; however, it resumed immediately after the shrine track was cleared of the debris.
Indian-controlled Kashmir has a rugged terrain. Landslides are often triggered from its mountains during frequent rains.

The Four Way Test
From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world's most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is The Four-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as Rotary International President) when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy.
The 24-word test for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company was credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four questions:
"Of the things we think, say or do:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Hi Siafu, i'm replying to the comments you left on mine!I agree with what you're saying, you probably get loads of stuff from europe for example, we might not see much, culturally that comes out of your continent, which is a real shame, which is why I usually go hunting for it…. like you say something different and original. Well I think your stuff is different and your cultural influences are what makes it slightly different and gives it an edge. Your style is graphic illustration I guess, so at the same time as being original makes perfect sense to me.Cheers.

There are several reports out there about political telemarketer style phone calls, aka Robo calls. Personally I don't like any of them. I don't care who they come from. Whether they be Democrats or Republicans. Slapped on top of this annoyance is a new dirty wrinkle.
Supposedly people in several states (reported in Philly, Kansas, NH, CT, NY, NC) are getting phone calls along the line of "Hello, I'm Calling With Information About ….". People hang up right away and don't listen to the whole message. If they listened to the whole thing they might have discovered the call wasn't from the Democrat candidate but supporters of his or her opponent. It appears the goal is to piss off voters and sway there vote in the opposite direction. Thanks for the heads up Lance.

Dad grilled some shrimp and pineapple on kebabs and then some asparagus too!! It was really yummy! I had purchased a few slices of cheese pizza to tide the boys over, but Chaz ended up eating half of my shrimp and pineapple and Cooper ate at least 15 asparagus spears!
Very good meal for all involved! Sorry, no pics! We couldn't wait to eat it and it didn't sit very long on any of our plates!! There is a piece and a half of cheese pizza in the fridge though!! That's what I like- kids refusing pizza and eating asparagus, shrimp, and pineapple instead!! Woo hoo!!

living on the edge
Are you up for the challenge?
Do you like to take risks? Are you the one in the group who always sees further than the rest? Have you always been fascinated with places where most people don't even think about going? Then maybe this track is for you.
The area we go to is often called the "10/40 window" in Christian settings. The term has been made because most of the worlds unreached people groups live in that area. Actually, as much as two-thirds of the worlds population live in this area. That's more than 4 billion people that live in this area. According to the Joshua Project approximately 62% of these individuals live in an unreached people group. In many of these countries, testifying about Jesus can result in imprisonment.
This track is for those who are not afraid of a challenge and want to see Christ glorified even in difficult or restricted places.
Are you willing to live on the edge for Jesus? Come join us for an amazing adventure with Jesus.

Well, like I said ealier today, rumors make the world a les boring boring place. According to Total Film a Boba Fett stand alone film could happen. Apparently director Jon Schnepp claims to have the inside track on Disney's upcoming plans.
"One of them is Boba Fett," claimed Schnepp. "It is. I know. I know for a fact. I will never reveal my source, but it is the one written by Lawrence Kasdan."
This, of course, has not been confirmed by Dinsey or Lucasfilm, but seeing how big the fan base for Boba Fett is, it is something that could actually work. I for one would go see it. But than again rumors on talks on the various stand alone films has been buzzing the web since Dinsey took over Lucasfilm.
But as soon as there more new on this I'll let you know, so for now we just focus on Star Wars Eps VII of which production will start later this month, beginning of Feb. So expect more news on that very soon.

The Penderwicks - by Jeanne Birdsall
This is a delightful story about four young, smart, and funny American girls, their Latin-speaking botanist father, and their faithful dog, Hound. The Penderwick family organized a summer vacation, sight unseen, to a cottage called Arundel somewhere on the Northeast coast of the U.S. Little did they know that Arundel was actually just the guest cottage to a mansion, belonging to the decidedly TERRIBLE Mrs. Tifton (thanks for correcting me, Mollie), and her very interesting son Jeffrey. The story centers on the Penderwick girls' adventures with Jeffrey and Hound, and is a rollicking good adventure for lovers of smart realistic fiction. The writer doesn't dumb down her language, so the reader must be smart her/himself to follow along. This is a charming story, a classic-to-be, and in fact was a winner of the National Book Award.

I need to create a form similar to this: http://cashintocoins.com/
The top price fultuates with the market price, similar to the gold market.
How can I bring data like this into my form?

I have the html now to do this.
I want it to appear at the top of my form.
url: "https://coinbase.com/api/v1/prices/buy";,
type: "get",
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(data) {
error: function(status) {
How do I do this?
this is an example of how I would like it to appear:
It is a price that is constantly updating.
This is the website that the form is on: http://www.bitcoins.com.ec/
Thanks so much :) Jotform is amazing!!
- KadeJMAnswered on March 28, 2014 at 12:50 PM
For the ajax script you would need to reference it via an embedded or external file through your form's source code. I've played with this a little bit but it is giving me some trouble and conflicting with our library so I will need some more time to try to figure this out better. If myself or one of my colleagues are able to come up with something then we'll let you know as soon as we can.
Alternatively, You can also try using an embeddable Bitcoin Tracking Widget but you'll have to search the web for those and find the one you want. And you would also have to embed it into the form source.
Example: http://btcquote.com/
- bitcoinecuadorAnswered on March 30, 2014 at 06:30 PM
That would be great BUT the prices on that widget are different than the prices we need.
However, I found this widget: https://www.firebase.com/blog/2013-10-25-btcquote-bitcoin-price-ticker.html
Ideally what I want to do it to take the price data and add it to a calculation that I want to create on the form.
REAL time BOTCOIN price data
then the amount of USD that they want to spend (the currency is converted)
and then add a percentage that is determined by the form of payment selection.
I had a developer create the original code so I will also ask him again but you guys are awesome and super pros... any help/solutions is wonderful!!!
Thank you thank you thank you,

Hi, you can find programmers in www.odesk.com, or www.elance.com, in order to help you work this out using the source code of the form.

The Internet also makes it possible for people to watch events they could not attend. For instance, one can watch the recent annual meetings of the Southern Baptist Convention or the Baptist General Convention of Missouri. With this in mind, influential SBC blogger Wade Burleson has made an interesting proposal. Burleson suggests that the SBC should allow people to not only watch the annual meeting live online but also participate. He wrote:
I have been told that over 22,000 people logged in to watch the SBC via either the 316 Network or SBC.net. That is nearly three times the number of people who registered for the convention and nearly ten times the number of people who actually voted during the First Vice-Presidential election. That 22,000 number will only be growing in the future, and as 316 Networks also expands, the potential is unlimited for those who wish to either observe or particpate at the SBC.This is a very interesting proposal, and one that could actually work. It would greatly increase the number of people participating, especially younger or poorer people and those who are unable to take time off like bivocational pastors. Baptists are supposed to be democratic with the people in charge. This proposal would move Baptists much closer to our democratic ideals, although I suspect that many SBC leaders will balk at the idea.
We already register messengers electronically. We are but two steps away from establishing a secure server where a messenger who watches the convention via the internet could enter his Messenger I.D. number and actually vote on the recommendations brought to the floor of the convention.
... Establishing an offical presence on the platform where internet monitors could receive electronic email questions during debate from those who are watching via internet broadcast. However, internet participants would not be able to participate in the parliamentary procedures of the people in the arena. There could be no motions, debate, or calling for question or 'point of orders' by those observing the live broadcast from home. However, every registered messenger watching would have the ability to vote on every recommendation before the body. Electronic tabulation would be immediate and added to the visual count in the hall.
Some Baptists, after all, do not seem to appreciate that the people are finding a voice online. For instance, in the newest issue of the Pathway, Scott Lamb argued:
Is it possible that the radical democratization manifested in the world of Web 2.0 technology is a "spirit of the age" from which Christians should flee?Lamb apparently does not understand that in Baptist life the people are supposed to be in charge. Democratization--even "radical" forms--are good as they allow the people in charge to have greater participation. Baptist polity has historically been designed so that any individual Baptist can attempt to influence Convention actions. Blogs and YouTube are simply making that more possible. This will be an interesting discussion to follow and I hope that Burleson's proposal will receive serious consideration.
... Will the Baptist blogosphere, under the banner of democratization, even allow for such an authoritative word to be spoken? Will this be the YouTube-generation of the SBC, where any Baptist blogger with broadband, along with a well-worn copy of Robert's Rules of Order, is able to drag the Convention down any path they wish?

Nyoka's skipped key issues - Gauteng board
The Gauteng Cricket Board (GCB) has come out strongly in response to Cricket South Africa president Mtutuzeli Nyoka's statement on the issue of mismanagement of the 2009 IPL, saying he did not touch upon several key issues raised by the GCB. It also said there were no grounds for it to apologise to the BCCI and IPL, as sought by Nyoka, as it had not referred to either body in its allegations.
The GCB statement said it would formally reply to Nyoka's statement after it received a response from the board's Audit and Risk Committee to a letter sent on June 4.
"In that letter we stated that, on the basis of information that was known to us and available to us at that time, we believed that CSA had been exposed to material financial risk by the manner in which CSA had conducted contractual negotiations with the IPL," Barry Skjoldhammer, the GCB chairman, said in a statement.
Nyoka's statement, he said, did not address issues raised by the GCB's letter to the Audit and Risk Committee such as CSA's refusal to "to make details of its contract with the IPL known to GCB" and its non-participation "in negotiations between GCB and the IPL, notwithstanding that CSA was the only party with knowledge of the contract under which the IPL claimed to have acquired rights from CSA over the Wanderers Stadium, all commercial and media rights to which are controlled by GCB."
The Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg was suspended from holding international matches under the auspices of CSA and the national board said the ban would be lifted only after the GCB apologised for its allegations and accepted the terms and conditions for hosting games. The GCB, however, said it had made no reference to the BCCI or made any "any evaluation of or comment on the IPL's behaviour" in their letter.
The GCB and CSA had several differences over the running of the IPL; the issues ranged from the sharing of VIP suites to the price of alcohol. At one point there was a doubt that the semi-finals and final would be held at the Wanderers as scheduled and after the tournament the GCB investigated the possibility of counterfeit tickets being sold at the final.
Skjoldhammer's statement said the GCB had been trying to negotiate the terms and conditions for hosting matches at the Wanderers for seven years but CSA had "persistently declined or failed to engage GCB in any form of direct discussions". He added that if the GCB accepted the terms and conditions, in their current form, CSA was trying to impose, it would "destroy the financial viability" of the Wanderers Stadium.
"The proposed CSA model would also undermine GCB's viability as a provincial cricket union that serves the interests of amateur cricket through hundreds of club league teams and many thousands of players, as well as hundreds of schools and development programmes reaching many thousand children," the GCB statement said. It concluded by saying that it was not in the interests of anyone for Wanderers to be stripped of its international status and the board would "exercise its rights as an affiliated member of CSA to ensure that CSA observes its own corporate governance procedures relative to such decisions."

Five hot topics from our Copenhagen Executive Seminar 2015Posted in Discover the Future of Research on Mar 13, 2015 4:00:16 AM
Journals Publishing, Wiley
This past January, Wiley hosted an Executive Seminar in Copenhagen where society and association representatives met for discussions and presentations on the future of publishing. The theme of the seminar was 'The Next Big Thing' and attendees joined us from across Europe representing the health, life and social sciences. With this diverse group of attendees, it truly set the stage for interesting discussion from varied perspectives.
We were glad to see that the attendees took advantage of the opportunity to ask questions directly to Wiley Directors or VPs within Professional Innovation, Society & Association Marketing, Publishing Solutions and Communications. There were a few themes of great interest to attendees, so we thought we'd reflect on them here.
1. How can societies most effectively use social media?
As this recent blog post can attest, how societies use and leverage social media is of great interest and, not surprisingly, was one of the most popular topics at the seminar. This type of media provides a space for journal editors or societies to reach and interact with a wider audience and engage a community of readers. With that in mind, it may be beneficial for societies/associations to form a social media strategy, deciding which channels to focus on and allowing them to continually evaluate efforts compared to output (retweets, shared content, comments etc.). Several attendees expressed a need to communicate more effectively with young researchers and inform them of their society/association/journal. Social media, when used carefully and strategically, can help societies reach readers, members or peers and increase the visibility of theirjournals. Altmetrics can also be used as a measure of social media outreach, to estimate impact and evaluate promotional efforts.
2. What are the open access publishing options available to societies?
Open access has changed rapidly over the past 15 years and some societies and associations are exploring how to adjust to this dynamic environment. Should they change their publishing format to open access? Or, do they need to introduce society repositories to meet open access mandates? At the seminar, we discussed some of the options available to societies to help them meet current mandates. There is the Hybrid/OnlineOpen option, 'flipping' a subscription journal to open access, launching a new open access journal and introducing self-archiving policies.
If a society/association is considering launching a new open access journal, it is important to:
- Perform a reject analysis for a journal to make sure that there is enough material
- Consider if supporter journals are needed to refer papers
- Explore if there is a gap in the market for open access journals within the field
We also discussed the important role that societies and associations play in setting data policies and data archival standards. There was great interest in more in-depth information on open access, thus Wiley is looking into hosting a webinar on this subject.
3. Know your members!
It's no secret that many societies and associations are struggling with decreasing membership numbers. We've also found that some have not actively been involved in recruiting members. The responses from attendees at the seminar confirmed these concerns. However, there are several steps which societies can take to counter this trend. Two of these steps are: 1. understand your member value proposition and 2. properly segment members in order to deploy targeted communications. We suggest looking into the demographic, geographic and psychographic profiles of your members to determine different member profiles. For instance, societies can segment members based upon experience, industry, motivation, career progression, etc., and they can then use these segments to target communications through various channels, including social media.
4. New technology needs to be easy
The vast array of new technologies available for authors can at times be overwhelming, or as one attendee put it, "there is too much bad technology out there". It can be difficult to find the program that fulfills the needs of both authors or readers. And, at a bare minimum, the technology should be easy to use! Focusing on readability and functionality, Wiley's Anywhere Article allows readers to browse figures, links to references/citing literature and more on the device of their choice. Additionally, the open access movement has increased the number of open source software that, for instance, helps authors collaborate on projects and papers online or enables researchers to highlight and annotate webpages and online PDFs, as with Readcube. The digital transformation in the publishing industry brings some great new tools for scientific writing and we found that there was an interest in exploring ways to simplify workflows among our attendees.
5. Identify and keep ahead of the next set of challenges.
We heard from attendees that we must continue to rethink workflows and develop new creative formats and solutions for the journals we publish on behalf of societies and associations. The rapid pace of change is unlikely to slow down anytime soon and it is important that Wiley continues to support authors, readers, societies/associations and libraries. Hearing from our publishing partners at Wiley's Executive Seminars is so valuable because it helps us to find innovative solutions to current and future challenges.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Copenhagen!

Typically, when you hear "rollover" you think retirement or changing jobs. For the vast majority of clients, these two situations will really be the only time they will complete a 401k rollover. However, you might not know about another type of situation in which you can move funds from your company retirement plan to your IRA. This is what's known as the "in-service" rollover and is an often overlooked planning opportunity.
Rollover Refresher
A rollover is a pretty simple concept. It is the process of moving your employer retirement account (401k, 403b, 457, etc.) over to an IRA that you have complete control over and is completely separate from your ex-employer. Most people do this when they retire or switch jobs. If completed properly, rolling over funds from your company retirement plan to your IRA is a tax and penalty free transaction because the tax characteristics of a 401k and IRA are generally the same.
What is an "in-service" rollover?
Unlike the "traditional" rollover, an "in-service" rollover is probably something you've never heard of and for good reason. First, not all company retirement plans allow for it, and second, even for those that do, the details can be confusing to employees. The bottom line: An in-service rollover allows an employee (often at a specified age such as 55) to be able to roll their 401k to an IRA while still employed with the company. The employee is also still able to contribute to the plan, even after the rollover is complete. Most plans allow this type of rollover once per year, but depending on the plan, you could potentially complete the rollover more often for different contribution types.
Why complete an "in-service" rollover?
More investment options – With any company retirement plan, you will be limited to the investment options the plan offers. By having the funds in an IRA, you can invest in just about any mutual fund, ETF, stock, bond, etc. Having access to more options can potentially improve investment performance, reduce volatility and make your overall portfolio allocation more efficient.
Coordination with your other assets – If you're working with a financial planner, he or she can coordinate an IRA into your overall plan far more efficiently than a 401k. How many times has your planner recommended changes in your 401k that simply don't get completed? (Tisk, tisk!) If your planner is managing the IRA for you, those recommended changes are going to get completed instead of falling off your personal "to-do" list.
Additional flexibility – IRAs allow certain penalty-free withdrawals that aren't available in a 401k or other company retirement plans (certain medical expenses, higher education expenses, first time homebuyer allowance, etc.). Although using an IRA for these expenses should be a last resort, it's nice to have the flexibility if needed.
Exploring "in-service" rollovers
So what now? The first thing is to always keep your financial planner in the loop when you retire or switch jobs to see if a rollover makes sense for your situation. Second, let's work together to see if your current company retirement plans allows for an in-service rollover. It's typically a 5 minute phone call with us, you and your HR department to find out. With so many things going on in life, an in-service rollover is probably pretty close to the bottom of your priority list. This is why you have us on your financial team. We bring these opportunities to your attention and work with you to see if they could benefit your situation!

Isaiah 10: Assyria's Turn
by Wayne Blank
See also 1 Year Holy Bible Reading Plan
"O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge"
Assyria, as a nation and as a region, has been known from the most-ancient epoch. It is mentioned at the time of the creation of man, during which "the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria." "Hiddekel" is another historic name for the Tigris River (see also The Prophet Daniel: The Hiddekel Vision), which along with the Euphrates River to its south, form the fertile Tigris-Euphrates valley - the soil of which was used to form the first man (see The Thinker From The Soil and Adam and Adamah. Later, Noah and Abraham were native-born citizens of the area that had been Eden (see The LORD's Seed Covenants With The Two Men Of Iraq and How Did Eden Become Babylon?).
"2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
From the perspective of the history of Israel, the Assyrian Empire followed the Egyptian Empire, and was itself followed by the empires of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome (see The Prophet Daniel: Nebuchadnezzar's Image). All took their turn as the "superpower" of their day, and all fell due to self-inflicted internal decay from iniquity and decadence (see Iniquity In History And Prophecy and Decadence In History And Prophecy). Their lesson, to those with the sense to listen, is that when idolatry and sodomy reign, the fall of the nation is imminent (see Which Way Is Right And Left?).
A number of Assyrian kings reigned during the time from the establishment of the united kingdom of Israel (see How Many Kings Reigned In The United Kingdom?), through the time of their division (see Israel In History and Prophecy: Israel and Judah) and fall - first Israel, then Judah (but again, both due to their idolatry and sodomy). It was to the Assyrian Empire that the independent Kingdom of Israel fell in 721 - after which they became "the lost ten tribes" (see Israel In History and Prophecy: The Lost Ten Tribes).
It should be kept in mind that the fall of the Kingdom of Israel to Assyria was permitted and brought about by the LORD (see The LORD God Our Saviour) because the Kingdom of Israel had become irreparably corrupt, despite being warned by the LORD's prophets (see Israel In History and Prophecy: The Prophets): "O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets."
"10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 10:2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! 10:3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? 10:4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
The Kingdom of Judah lasted about 135 years longer than the Kingdom of Israel. When the Assyrians became corrupt, the LORD sent a well-known prophet, Jonah, to them to warn them to repent - which they did (see The Nineveh Prophecies). But they later again became corrupt, so the LORD brought down the Assyrian Empire, that He had used to bring down the Kingdom of Israel. It then became Babylon's turn.
"10:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. 10:13 For he saith,
The Kingdom of Judah eventually fell as well, to Babylon (although the imperial territory of Assyria and Babylon were nearly identical). Judah retuned after 70 years, while the Kingdom of Israel that was taken away to Assyria, will yet return in the future (see the Fact Finder question below).
"10:20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 10:21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. 10:22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. 10:23 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
Fact Finder: When will the exiles to Assyria ("the lost ten tribes") be reunited with Judah?

The assassination took place on the anniversary of the defeat of the Serbs by the Ottomans at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 (see the entry for 1389, above).
1919: At the end of the First World War, the Treaty of Versailles was signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles Palace, near Paris. Germany was stripped of all its overseas colonies, demilitarized, and ordered to pay heavy reparations (see also A History Of Jerusalem: The British Mandate).

Hmm, this view is not that fresh. I recall reading about the 'genetics is
more exciting' view already some 10 years ago. Don't know if it was Ken
or someone else who said it at that time, and I can't recall whether it
was being compared to physics or computing.
Looking at it from a standpoint of what remains to be discovered, there is
some truth in generic engineering being more exciting. But genetics is so
capital-intensive that, as an individual, your chances of acting on your
new ideas would be fairly low. In that sense genetic engineering is like
the movie industry. In the same sense, web research is of course like the
advertising industry.

Good one, Emmy!
I'd never heard of him, though I had heard of Kettering, whom he worked with. He certainly paid for his inventions with an early death.
Thanks for teaching me something.
