If we took a quick survey and asked people what success represented to them, I hope you realize the answers would be all over the map. It's an extremely elusive term.
This is a success site, and like a ton of other success sites out there I'm sure you'll be expecting to see the phrase "six or seven figures" provocatively used right from the get go. To be clear, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that concept. It would be short-sighted and a bit arrogant to cast some type of attitude over the numbers game. We all have every right to pursue our dream, whatever that may be. But, I will step up to the plate though, and remind you that the numbers only represent part of the game in terms of success, and here's a couple of examples of what I'm getting to and feel you don't hear enough of.
My friend Sarah is a single mom with two kids. I've watched her struggle, but never waver as she worked hard toward getting a job that she felt actually had some meaning to her life. Just a few weeks ago, through a tremendous effort on her part, she finally landed a job she not only felt good about, but was also structured in a way to be able to give her kids the time she knew they needed, and deserved. My question to you is this – do you honestly think that Sarah at present feels any less successful than the individual that just cracked six figures?
|— Or —|
Hypothetical Scenario: Allen makes about $100,000 a year working 40 to 50 hours a week. Jeff makes around half of that working about 10 to 15 hours a week. Who would you consider to be more successful?
Success is most assuredly in the Eye of the Beholder!
Why it's paramount to understand that concept is the fact that it will have everything to do with how you're structuring your own game plan to succeed. Without a totally clear idea of what succeeding actually represents to you, (and I repeat, that will be all over the map individual to individual – and – will inevitably change from time to time) how could you possibly know what steps to take to get there, and it will involve a series of steps, I promise you.
Consider this: If you feel you have to make a goal for yourself, make the goal a well designed series of steps that not only keeps you fueled on a day to day basis, but keeps your integrity in tact as well. That's just a fancy way of saying when the alarm goes off in the morning (because you took that action), you're not starting your day off with your fave four-letter word. I'm sure for some of you out there that would be a success in-and-of itself.
I'm simply trying to get you to consider the fact that success is a journey, not an end result, and that's where the Art of success comes in. Give yourself some time to figure out just what the hell this word success actually means to you…then go after it with a vengeance!
I'd love to hear anyone's and everyone's personal definition of success, if you feel so inclined.

The enticingly named Ninja's Extreme Weapons is one of about twenty cut-and-paste ninja films released between 1987 and 1988 by Filmark. It's really hard to work out who's responsible for this one, beyond Tomas Tang (here credited as producer although it's entirely possible he is also Victor Sears, the pseudonymous "director"). The film is in the classic Godfrey Ho mould anyway, splicing nutty new ninja footage into an existing non-ninja film, redubbing it all with a new plot and calling it a job well done.
I couldn't work out what the source film was for this but, as ever, Jesus from the Golden Ninja Warrior Chronicles had it nailed. It's a Thai film called Foxy Lady. Anyway, despite the comically inappropriate title, it lets the side down if I'm honest. There's really not much worthwhile in the source film here. It's about two guys, Michael and James, who are possibly secret agents although it's not entirely clear for whom they work ("I'm not on anyone's side now!" James exclaims at one point. "I'M ONLY FOR JUSTICE!"). Their mission is to bring down the evil Boss Pierce, an old white dude in a wheelchair who has a secret ninja base somewhere in Hong Kong (this footage, obviously, is the Tang-shot stuff). There's also Boss Brown. He handles prostitution while Pierce handles drugs. "You can't make slaves out of people!" one kidnapped girl tells Boss Brown, as he attempts to put her in his harem. "Why yes I can and I do, my dear!" he camply responds. No further explanation is required.
A ludicrous love triangle livens things up a bit when Boss Brown sends one of his girls – Angela – to seduce Agent James and trap him. "You're like an angel sent from the Heavens," murmurs James when he arrives home one night totally unalarmed to find Angela, a complete stranger, relaxing in his bathtub. "Mmm… How did you know my name was Angel-a?" she purrs back. How the Filmark dubbing team kept a straight face with some of this dialogue is beyond me but I'm pretty sure that's the legendary Stuart Smith voicing James (you catch the odd Aussie slip beneath the BBC English James Bond style accent he appropriates).
Boss Brown's honey trap plan doesn't work anyway. "You're falling in love with that damn Playboy!" he barks at Angela, after the inevitable happens, setting up a web of double-crossings that gets increasingly tangled as more and more irrelevant ninjas, family feuds and missing briefcases of drugs are spliced in. James's detective skills are as bad as his chat-up lines, incidentally. His technique consists of walking into shady bars and asking loudly "do you know anything about underworld activity?" and yet somehow he manages to eventually find his way to the boss's lair for the inevitable prolonged gunfight in the dark (very similar to the one in Ninja In The Killing Fields, also made the same year).
It's kind of a snoozefest, badly made and cheap. However, Tang makes up for this with some of his nuttiest ninja footage yet. There's definitely a period in Filmark history where it feels like Tang was constantly trying to outdo himself on the weird/random stuff and Ninja's Extreme Weapons is up there with the maddest. The "Condor Ninja Clan" led by Boss Pierce are batshit crazy. They spend their days MASSAGING HIM (yes, we get ninja massage! How do they think of this stuff!?).
In between massages, they brawl with their eternal nemesis, the Blue Ninja, a Vietnam Vet who turned to ninjutsu when he wanted revenge for his brother's murder. The Condors are also in possession of a magical ninja ring that grants supreme ninja power to its holder. These flimsy reasons leads to some glorious fights between about six or seven ninjas at once that are just impossible to follow unless you watch them on slow-mo. There are exploding smoke bombs all the colours of the rainbow and fists flying all in directions.
But what about the purported "extreme weapons" you may ask? Well, Tang actually delivers on his promise here. At one point in the film, one of the ninjas dresses up in a giant dragon outfit and ACTUALLY BREATHES FIRE on some military dudes. WTF? I have never seen anything like that. It's epic and worth the cost of the video by itself.
Yup. An extreme weapon, alright.
Of course, no Filmark movie would be complete without a bonkers climax and the final five minutes here live up (don't read on unless you're comfortable with spoilers). Just as the Blue Ninja looks like he's winning, golden oldie Boss Pierce uses the magic ninja ring, shrieks like a banshee, leaps 30ft in the air out of his wheelchair and knocks the Blue Ninja unconscious. He ties Bluey to a tree and has his Condor Ninjas threaten him with machetes until Blue reveals the location of the missing drugs. Blue points Pierce to a briefcase in a nearby tree but, of course, it's not the drugs. It's a bomb. Boss Pierce and the entire Condor Ninja Clan explode in a shambolic puff of smoke and a tumble of shop dummies.
"In the name of God… amen!" snarls Blue, still tied to the tree (one can only assumes God helps him to escape?) and "THE END" flashes up in gaudy red text.
It's all gloriously mental. Sure, it's one of the scrappiest of a fairly scrappy canon, but there's a playfulness about it I love. It really feels like the script has been written by over-excited children who have no idea how the world works or how to tell a coherent story but are just VERY VERY EAGER TO TELL YOU ABOUT NINJAS. And sometimes that's all you need. Well, that and a giant dragon suit that spits fire. Man, I gotta get me one of those extreme weapons…

One of my favorite action movies over the last couple of years was the out of nowhere John Wick which starred Keanu Reeves (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) as the title character. It has been quite some time since the last Ass Whoopin Wednesday post and I figured the best film to transition back into it is none other than the sequel John Wick: Chapter 2. We all know that int he last film, John Wick's dog which was a present from his dead wife was killed and that his car was stolen. He took care of the problem in the last film, but he still needs to get his car back and he does. The only problem for John is that he thinks things are finally over until an Italian mob boss (Riccardo Scamarcio) suckers him back into the game by blowing up his house. Now the only problem is that he believes that if he does this job for him that all will be over until the mob turns the tables and double crosses him by putting a seven million dollar bounty on his head. The film also stars Ian McShane (Death Race) as Winston, Ruby Rose (Orange Is The New Black) as Ares, Common (Smokin' Aces) as Cassian, Lance Reddick (John Wick) as Charon, Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) as The Bowery King, Claudia Gerini (The Passion Of The Christ) as Gianna D'Antonio, and the film was directed by Chad Stahelski (John Wick). Before we get into the review of the film, let's check out some stats:
These series of films are becoming my favorite franchise and they definitely turn the ante up for this one. The first film he only had 78 kills and in this film he almost doubled it with 127 kills total. I am not sure if that is the most we've recorded here on Ass Whoopin Wednesdays, but it's definitely a lot. There is still no origin story because we don't find out much about his past other than the usual oh the boogeyman is here. There is no love interest because his wife is still dead, but he has a new dog though that has no name. The big boss was definitely defeated, but there is more trouble coming for poor John Wick. I honestly thought that when Laurence Fishburne showed up that we were going to get a Neo/Morpheus encounter, it just seemed like it was going to go there. The action sequences in the film are awesome and pretty intense plus there is some really cool kills that John has. One of the things I love about the film are the various characters that we see like the mute assassin/bodyguard, Common's character, and the homeless beggars. It makes you believe that just about anyone could be an assassin like the random sumo wrestling looking guy. It keeps you hooked in and ready to see who shows up next. There is nothing Oscar worthy about this film, but it's fun and that is all some of us want in our action films. I am going to give this one 4.7 fists out of five for a final grade.

This is what I'm hoping for… You know how in different cities — really just Philly, but I want it in different cities — there's a core group of fans for a certain player and they personalize it with their own touch? For instance, there was Padilla's Flotilla, which saw fans paddling around in sombreros… Or The Wolf Pack, complete with werewolf masks… Or Moyer's Lawyers; I hear they represented Mrs. Myers… So at Nats home games, I want a group of fans dressed up in early-1900s, Austrian officer uniforms. They can be the House of Strasburgs. Every time Stephen Strasburg strikes someone out, they do the call and answer chant of, "Who's house?" "Strasburg's house!" Then Mike Aubrey, the DC realtor with a Hitler 'stache, goose-steps through the bleachers and they all run for the hills, singing the title song from "The Sound of Music." Or not. So much has already been written about Stephen Strasburg and he's yet to throw a pitch for the Nats, but can he help you for 2010 fantasy baseball?
Maybe. Best case scenario is a 3.50 ERA and 120 Ks in 100 innings after a June call-up. Terrific, ownable, not draftable for where he'll be taken. (This doesn't count for keepers. There I can see going after him.) Rookies are already risky endeavors. Rookie pitchers, more so. The last seven number one draft picks were Delmon Young, Matt Bush, Justin Upton, Luke Hochevar, David Price, Tim Beckham and Strasburg. One guy in those seven helped you in 2009. Two and a half guys are draftable for 2010. Yes, for the first time in his life, Delmon Young is being considered a half of a man…. Like he's any smaller than the 1/2 on that Charlie Sheen/Jon Cryer sitcom. Right now, Strasburg is pitching just over a 5 ERA in 4 starts in the Arizona Fall League. Doesn't matter, he'll probably still be hyped in 2010. Wait to see how Strasburg pitches in the spring. If he pitches well, cool, let someone else waste a higher than warranted draft pick on him, then watch Strasburg sit in the minors for a few months. Strasburg should be a great one, but let some other poor schmuck get the ill-advised chest tattoo that reads, "Strasburg for Prez in 2010."

I just realized I haven't posted any kind of blog since…well, several months ago. There IS a good reason for that, however, and that is because I have been busy working on the second novel of Kiamada. I'm quite happy to report that "The Uncrowned Queen" now has a completed first draft!
I'm working on editing the first third of the book, which has already gone through the claws of my wonderful critique partner, the amazing Ava Larksen, and I will soon be sending her the second third, once I make a few small changes to it. The final third was completed as my NaNoWriMo project, which I won.
I'm really hoping to have the final draft done by February/March, so stay tuned!

Time and again, those working on the front lines in their communities say that without United Way Toronto, they simply couldn't do what they do.
And it was no different at Wednesday's launch of the 2014 United Way Toronto fundraising campaign where Danian Walker was among hundreds of supporters cheering wildly when the $117 million goal was revealed. A youth engagement worker responsible for studio programming at the youth-led S.P.O.T (Success Power Opportunity and Teamwork) in Malvern, he's helping young people express themselves creatively and give back to their community.
"When you give, you receive," he said at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre where the United Way target was announced.
For Walker, United Way "has been right there for us," offering support and meeting the needs of youth 13 to 25 who come there.
"They get the vision," he said of the charity. "United Way is so giving and caring and makes a difference. . . . If not for United Way and support from donors, I'm not sure where I'd be and the S.P.O.T definitely would not exist."
Dan Fortin, recently retired president of IBM Canada and chair of this year's campaign, said he was honoured to take on the role, adding he is confident the goal "is absolutely doable."
A longtime supporter of United Way, Fortin said as leader of the 2014 campaign he will have "the unique opportunity to work with many of Toronto's most dedicated, generous and compassionate community leaders — all rallying together to improve lives and strengthen neighbourhoods."
The launch celebrated the thousands of Torontonians — volunteers, donors, community agencies and business partners — who work together year after year to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
"Our annual campaign is an amazing, citywide demonstration of a shared commitment to building a better Toronto, and I'm so inspired by the outpouring of generosity and support we receive from our community each year," said United Way president and CEO Susan McIsaac.
"Working together, we're creating opportunities to help people in every corner of our city realize that change is within reach — that a better life is possible."
McIsaac thanked United Way's 200 community agencies, the 150,000 donors, 23,000 volunteers and 700 workplaces that support the cause.
But it won't be a slam dunk, McIsaac said in an earlier interview, adding though she has great faith in Torontonians to reach out and help their less fortunate neighbours, the campaign will have its challenges.
"We're filled with optimism but it will be tough because of lots of competition from other organizations," she said, adding charities "are getting edgy" when it comes to raising funds for their causes.
The recent ALS ice bucket challenge is a prime example of out-of-the box initiatives that have taken off, raising awareness and funds globally. "We all have to be on our game," she said.
In the meantime, United Way has been knocking on doors, meeting with long-time corporate donors as well as reaching out to new ones, including small and mid-sized workplaces.
Attracting younger supporters with fresh ideas to spread the word about United Way and its impact in the community is also important, said McIsaac.

Building an eighth community hub in Scarborough, providing a variety of services under one roof in areas where there were few, remains on the priority list. Youth employment will also continue to be a focus as will renewal of the city's aging highrise apartments and building strong neighbourhoods.

DescriptionDoctors recommend you drink about two liters of water each day. But how are you supposed to do that every day! Nobody has time to just pour back water. Well, it won't feel like so much of a chore with this fruit infusing water bottle. Just put a wedge or two of your favorite fruit into the middle capsule and your water will take on a deliciously fruity taste that will put the tasty back into staying healthy.

Andy Stern Shot of the Day
Andy busted out a pretty sick miller flip over this mushroom pillow today. We decided to search the side of the road for interesting features and this pillow stood out instantly. After a little build and some attempts at a switch backside rodeo handplant, Andy decided to try a different trick and stomped 'er first try. Its nice to stack a hamm at the end of the day. We checked the clock and realized that there was 30 minutes to catch the final shuttle bus home so we quickly packed our bags and hustled up the streets to catch the bus with 2 minutes to spare. NICE, Real nice!

Review of POISON STUDY by MARIA V. SNYDER
(first in the STUDY trilogy)
Yelena murdered her benefactor in self-defense (not that anyone saw it that way or would believe her) and now faces execution. Then spymaster Valek offers her a second chance: become the Commander's food taster. Though she risks ingesting poison with every meal, Yelena recognizes the difference between certain vs. possible death and, of course, accepts Valek's offer.
Valek slips Yelena a poison called Butterfly's Dust on her first day. If she reports to him each morning, he'll give her a daily antidote to stave off a slow and painful death. If she runs away, she'll die within the day. Now Yelena juggles learning about a wide array of poisons, figuring out who she can trust and how to ally herself, and, perhaps most problematic, hiding her possible magical abilities in a land where such talents equal a death sentence.
Above all, this is a story of survival. Yelena doesn't have an immediate goal at the start of the book beyond living. A goal that proves especially difficult in her circumstances, but remains her primary drive from beginning to end. At the start surviving means paying close attention to Valek's poison training in the hopes of detecting something without ingesting enough that it will kill her. Then she encounters enemies who want revenge for the man she killed and she must learn some beyond basic self-defense. As if that weren't enough, a magician approaches her and reveals that Yelena has "untamed" magic. Magicians are forbidden in Yelena's land and if she's discovered her death will be ordered...again. However, if she doesn't master her magic, the magician warns they will have no choice but to kill her before her magic gets too out of her control. So Yelena faces attacks on her simple survival goal from all sides. This also makes it extra interesting to read on in the series and see what Yelena will start wanting for herself once survival becomes less of a challenge.
This book was a re-read for me and I found myself surprised on the second reading by the strength of the feminist subtext. I primarily recalled this trilogy as a compelling, fun read with a lot of flaws. However, on the second read I barely noticed said flaws and found myself instead impressed by strengths I think I underestimated on the first read. Aside from an admirable heroine and other progressive characters and messages, these strengths also included the big cast of characters, a common theme among my favorite books. I especially like that Yelena evolves from a lone wolf character in a place of desperation at the start of the novel to someone surrounded by people who support her and lent extra power by forming strong bonds with the right people.
My one consistent complaint with Snyder's work is that the writing isn't nearly as strong as the plot. And I believe it's this weakness in very basic points of the writing that lead me to undervalue the book as a whole. Snyder often connects two distinctly separate sentences with only a comma where there should be a period or at least semi-colon. I also always find multiple dangling participles in her work as well as clauses that don't apply to their intended subject. It occasionally makes the story a little harder to follow when I'm distracted by basic grammar mistakes or even find myself re-reading sentences to ensure I understood the intended meaning.
I look forward to re-reading the other two books in this trilogy and was also reminded that Snyder has new work out I have yet to read. Snyder's another writer who can be a little formulaic, but I like her formula so I'm not complaining.

What happens, when people that consider school shootings perfectly acceptable price for
compensating right to bear arms starts to write bad poetry?
This happens.
twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.
their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say.
they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
"where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"this is heaven." declared a small boy. "we're spending Christmas at God's house."
when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face.
and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter this land!"
"may this country be delivered from the hands of fools"
"I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!"
then He and the children stood up without a sound.
"come now my children, let me show you around."
excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
"in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."
Yay, dead children.
Source of this cheerful insanity that vent viral on Internet.

Study: Over 200,000 Marijuana Arrests In Colorado Over Past 25 Years
In the 25 years from 1986 to 2010, police and sheriffs' departments in Colorado made 210,000 arrests for the crime of possessing small amounts of marijuana, according to a report released today by the Marijuana Arrest Research Project.
The study finds that cannabis arrests have risen sharply in the state, from 4,000 in 1986 to 10,500 in 2010, and that young people are most likely to among those arrested. According to the report, eighty-six percent of those arrested for cannabis offenses were age 34 or younger; 79 percent were 29 or younger, and 69 percent were 24 or younger.
The report also finds that African Americans and Latinos are arrested at greater rates than Caucasians despite being less likely to consume cannabis. African Americans residing in Colorado are arrested at three times the rate of whites, while Latinos are arrested at 1.5 times the rate of whites. The report is first study to document arrest rates of Latinos in Colorado.
Proponents of Amendment 64, The Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act of 2012, believe that the arrest data emphasizes the need for passing the measure this November. If approved, A-64 would immediately amend state law to allow for the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana and/or the cultivation of up to six cannabis plants by adults.
According to the latest statewide polling data, 48 percent of Colorado voters support A-64. Forty-three percent of likely voters oppose the initiative and nine percent are undecided. Women voters oppose A-64 by a margin of 48 percent to 40 percent. NORML and the NORML Women's Alliance are coordinating phone banking efforts in support of the Campaign here.
A separate report by the Project, released earlier this month, similarly found that police in Washington are arresting marijuana offenders in increasing numbers. That report found that law enforcement have made over 241,000 arrests for cannabis offenses in the past 25 years. Blacks in Washington state were arrested for marijuana possession at more than twice the rate of whites. Latinos were arrested at rates more than 50 percent higher than whites, the report found.
Washington state voters will decide in November on I-502, which seeks to regulate the production and sale of limited amounts of marijuana for adults. The measure also removes criminal penalties specific to the adult possession of up to one ounce of cannabis for personal use. In the latest polling, I-502 leads by a margin of 54 percent to 38 percent.

According to
"New York's current failed policy has cost the state around $75 million a year to arrest about 50,000 people"
– which, by that math is approximately $1500
per arrest
and if we take the 210,000 x $1500
we are looking at $315 MILLION
spent in arrests,
not counting extended stays,
and other financial line items…
It is time Colorado looked at that with open eyes-
Does more arrests mean men more success or more failure of drug policy. If prohibition worked you would see a peak in arrests then a falling off as more users were caught or deterred and suppliers put out of business. A continual increase must mean a failure of prohibition but prohibitionists are too stupid to understand this statistical conclusion.
The eighteenth amendment was repealled because the underworld was controlling and profiting from something the country was using without regard for the illegal reprocussions. The lessons that brought about the twentifirst amendment are ignored and twisted by the organizations profitting from ignorance. Even today, while are schools are coming down, prisons are built in a nation with the largest prisoner population in the world. Stop the madness and cease lying to the public through the media, manipulating available scientific data, and using the penal system to treat patients. WE DESERVE BETTER!

America's prisons continue to fill exponentially. According to Wikipedia.org, the U.S. has the highest documented incarceration rate in the world, with 2,266,800 citizens in federal or state prisons according to a survey done in 2010. Jail isn't free, and considering the current state of some of our public schools, roads, etc…, we should be spending money on things other than marijuana users. How many deaths have ever been reported from the primary use of marijuana? None. Compare that number to the mortality rate brought about by say, alcohol, or tobacco, which are both completely legal substances. Caffeine will kill you before marijuana will. The prohibition of marijuana, and subsequently the myriad of users or distributors who are incarcerated represents a blatant ignorance and unwillingness on the part of both federal and local governments to investigate the substance's properties and let the public know the truth about the plant: that it isn't a danger to our well being.

Nicaragua's modest tourist industry has been steadily growing since the early 1990s making Nicaragua a shrewd location for those looking to pick up a slice of Central American splendour. The country's attractions include wildlife-rich rainforests, volcanos, beaches and colonial-era archite... + Read More
cture. On the Pacific side of the country are the two largest fresh water lakes in Central America - Lake Managua and Lake Nicaragua. Surrounding these lakes and extending to their northwest along the rift valley of the Gulf of Fonseca are fertile lowland plains, with soil highly enriched by ash from nearby volcanoes of the central highlands.
Local real estate is undervalued and forward thinking island buyers can still find great deals. If the recent real estate history of Central America has taught us anything, it's easy to see that Nicaragua will soon follow the path of its neighbours and private island real estate values will continue to rise. Indeed, Nicaragua is becoming very attractive proposition to buyers looking for a second home or permanent residence.
Nicaragua Foreign Ownership Info
Much has changed in Nicaragua in the last ten years and the purchase of real estate is no exception. Now, anyone can buy real estate in Nicaragua. You have the same rights as Nicaraguans regarding property ownership. However, one should be careful in autonomous regions (Regiones Autonomistas) where the government needs to consult the indigenous people about the sale of real estate.
From 1979 to 1990, the Sandinista government controlled a large part of the economy. Houses and real property were confiscated from owners without just cause. In 1990, the new democratic government was elected. Many of the original owners have recovered their property, but unresolved property disputes still exist. To avoid future legal disputes, a real estate investor should secure a competent lawyer to ensure their purchase has clear title.
Nicaragua has a very complex title history and it's necessary to search deep into the title history. Always retain independent legal advice to draw up the purchase contract and check the title history. Until 1999, title insurance wasn't available in Nicaragua, but it now makes your private island investment much more secure. Taking out title insurance slows down the buying process with due diligence because it can raise questions, but getting title insurance forces your lawyer to research many years back and follow a set criteria. Undeveloped islands will require even more due diligence with regard to infrastructure, environment and development issues.
Real estate and tourism are among the fastest growing sectors of Nicaragua's economy. Compared to the U.S., island prices are still very low, meaning good investment opportunities exist throughout the country. As long as you stress due diligence through the services of competent legal advice, your investment in Nicaragua's private islands can be safe. - Read Less

Musee d'Aquitaine
Today, I went to the Musee d'Aquitaine. The museum showcases the history of my region. I have been wanting to check out this museum for some time, however, as life goes, it was at the bottom of my list. Until today.
I already knew some brief history on my city, I just wanted to get some more. I guess, I'm American in that sense,
I want MORE of EVERYTHING!
I learned that this region was founded by Neaderthals and also discovered that they performed surgeries!
How cool is that?! Cavemen performing surgery!
Archeologists found a human skull with pieces missing, particually on the crown of the head, but saw and reported new growth plates that proved that the surgery had been successful!
This is one of my favorite pieces in the museum.
The Venus with a Cornucopia.
She is looking left, her hair flowing, but with no distint facial features.
I love it! I didn't pay attention to the dates or that other important stuff, I just felt connected to it.
The tablet is not very big, probably the size of a piece of paper, but she commands attention!
The first part of the museum showcased the Neolithic era, then transitioned into Le Gaulois era, otherwise known as Celts, then the Roman empire, which a ruin of an ampitheatre still stands, just 15 minutes from my small apartment!
The pictures on the bottom: Hercules in bronze. Palais Gallien. Rements from the Roman empire.
From the Roman era, we transition into the Christian era and works of art featuring saints and all that other Jesus stuff.
This is the rose window and it is HUGE and BEAUTIFUL! I was awe struck when I walked into the room that showcased this piece. Wow! Just Wow!
The museum tour ended with merchants and slaves. Bordeaux, being a port city, made a lot of its money on trade and slavery. The city flourished!
Finally, slavery was outlawed, so Bordeaux reinvented herself again, but this time with wine!
I like Bordeaux. Her history is blackened, but so much fun!
I lived in Las Vegas, so it reminds me a little of home.
Las Vegas was created by making sin -- fun! Bordeaux did the same, only 'classy!' hahahahhahaha!
Viva La France!

How to Find Out Every Last Thing About Windows Update
On every second Tuesday of the month, Microsoft releases a bundle of security updates How & Why You Need To Install That Security Patch Read More to all Windows versions. Patch Tuesday is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, vulnerabilities are sealed up; on the other, updates carry the risk of introducing unforeseen issues.
On older Windows versions, users have full control over Windows Update; they can review descriptions for each update and choose which updates to install.
With Windows 10, Home users are force-fed all updates immediately Pros & Cons of Forced Updates in Windows 10 Updates will change in Windows 10. Right now you can pick and choose. Windows 10, however, will force updates onto you. It has advantages, like improved security, but it can also go wrong. What's more... Read More . Until recently, users didn't even have access to detailed information about updates. In February, Microsoft finally gave in to persisting demands for transparency and is now offering release notes for all Windows 10 updates.
We'll show you how to find out about updates in Windows 7 through 10, with Windows Update setup tips along the way.
How to Access & Control Windows Update
Between Windows XP and Windows 8.1, Windows Update hasn't evolved much. Windows 10, however, brought significant changes. Not only did Windows Update move from the Control Panel to the Settings app, it also received a complete makeover in regards to its functionality. Let's compare.
Windows 10
Press Windows key + I to launch the Settings app The Windows 10 Settings Guide: How to Do Anything and Everything Do you know your way around the Settings app in Windows 10? Here's everything you need to know. Read More , then navigate to Update & security > Windows Update. Per default, Windows will automatically download and install any available updates, whether they're security patches or feature upgrades. You can press the Check for updates button to manually check whether anything new is available.
Under Advanced options you can tweak how updates are installed and View your update history. If you're using Windows 10 Professional, you can Defer upgrades relating to new features for a limited time; security updates will still be applied automatically.
Under Choose how updates are delivered you can decide whether your computer can download updates from sources other than Microsoft, for example from PCs on your local network, which could save you bandwidth.
We have previously shown you how to manage Windows Update in Windows 10 How to Manage Windows Update in Windows 10 For control freaks, Windows Update is a nightmare. It works in the background, and keeps your system safe and running smoothly. We show you how it works and what you can customize. Read More .

In case you're struggling with drivers, read our guide on how you can control driver updates in Windows 10 Take Back Control Over Driver Updates in Windows 10 A bad Windows driver can ruin your day. In Windows 10, Windows Update automatically updates hardware drivers. If you suffer the consequences, let us show you how to roll back your driver and block future... Read More .
Windows 7 & 8.1
To open Windows Update in Windows 7 or up, press the Windows key, type Windows Update, and select the matching result. Depending on your current Windows Update settings, your system is either up to date or updates are in the queue to download or install.
Under Change settings you can choose how you wish updates to be downloaded and installed. These are your options:
- Install updates automatically,
- download updates, but choose when to install them,
- check for updates, but choose whether to download and install, or
- never check for updates.
Generally, we recommend the first option because it means your system will always be up to date and safe. If you've been having issues with updates in the past, you can go with the second or third option. Remember that this puts the responsibility of checking for updates and installing them on you! You should aim to install security patches immediately after they become available.
Given Microsoft's recent tendency to push Windows 7 & 8.1 users into upgrading to Windows 10 Microsoft Strikes Again - How to NOT Upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 10 is now a recommended update on Windows 7 and 8.1 computers. If you're not yet ready to upgrade, it's time to double-check your Windows Update settings. We show you how. Read More and provided you don't want to upgrade yet, we strongly recommend to disable Recommended updates How to Block the Aggressive Windows 10 Upgrade on Windows 7 and 8.1 Microsoft ramps up its efforts to make users upgrade to Windows 10.

For advanced information on Windows Update in Windows 7 Windows Update: Everything You Need to Know Is Windows Update enabled on your PC? Windows Update protects you from security vulnerabilities by keeping Windows, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Office up-to-date with the latest security patches and bug fixes. Read More , please browse our dedicated article.
How to Learn More About Individual Updates
Now that you have an idea about how Windows Update is set up on your machine, let's see how you can review detailed information about specific updates.
Windows 10
An unwelcome consequence of the Windows Update redesign in Windows 10, is that it has become harder to gather information about individual updates. Still, you have several options.
1. Windows 10 Update History
Under Settings > Update & security > Windows Update you may have noticed the prompt Looking for info on the latest updates?, also shown in the screenshot above. Click the Learn more link to open the Windows 10 update history page.
About new Windows 10 features and deferring upgrades, Microsoft writes:
"We introduced new operating system features in November after having previewed, or 'flighted', them with our Windows Insiders between July and November. Most customers have already been moved automatically from the July branch to the November branch. Windows 10 Professional, Enterprise, and Education edition customers can defer the update to the November branch and stay on the July feature set longer — as long as 10 years for some Enterprise customers. For more info, see Windows 10 servicing options."
Below the lengthy introduction, you'll find a summary of the cumulative update packages delivered during Patch Tuesday. The list is sorted by Windows 10 branches, which presently includes the initial release version from July 2015 and the November update How to Upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1511 Now Can't seem to install the Windows 10 Fall Update? It wouldn't be the Microsoft we know and love, if there wasn't some kind of screw-up along the line. Let us help! Read More .
At the bottom of the list, a link leads to the respective knowledge base (KB) article, which will reveal further details.
2. Windows 10 Release Information
A similar, but more detailed overview is available on Microsoft's TechNet Windows 10 release information. The page lists current Windows 10 versions by servicing option, as well as knowledge base articles for all cumulative (Patch Tuesday) updates since Windows 10's initial release.
We find this overview far more useful than the Windows 10 update history page. For details about the contents of a Windows 10 update, you can refer to the respective KB article.
3. ChangeWindows Logs
A third-party resource for tracking Windows 10 builds is ChangeWindows. Scroll through a visually pleasing interface for an overview of the different Windows 10 desktop and mobile builds. Click on Full log for release dates, and a detailed list of specific changes, fixed and known issues.
At this time, the site is focusing on build and hence does not provide links to individual Windows Update KB articles. However, below the current version details you'll find a link back to Microsoft's official announcement for the respective build.
Windows 7 & 8.1
On older Windows versions it's much easier to get information about installed updates.
1. Windows Update History
After you launched Windows Update, either through the Control Panel or through a Windows search, you can click on View update history to see a list of recently installed updates.
Right-click on an update and select View details to access a summary of the respective update. For more information, click through to the KB article linked to at the bottom.
2. Installed Updates
Under Installed Updates you can review the complete history of updates installed on your computer and sort updates by name, program, date installed, and more. Select an update and you'll find a link to the respective KB article at the bottom.
Here, you can also uninstall Windows Updates When Windows Update Fails, This Is How You Fix It Did a Windows Update crash your system? Here's a quick list of troubleshooting steps that will help you restore Windows to a functional state. Read More ; the option comes up when you right-click an update.
3. Available Updates
The big advantage of older Windows versions is that you can preview and exclude updates before you proceed with the installation. From the main Windows Update window, click on the important or optional updates available for download and installation.
In the next window, you can go through the list and view a summary on the right-hand side. At the bottom of the summary, you can follow a link to the in-depth KB article for each update.
If you don't want to download and install a specific update, remove the checkmark. You can also right-click and select Hide update, so it won't be shown again or accidentally installed in the future. You can of course view and restore hidden updates any time you want.
Up-to-Date on Windows Update
Whatever Windows version you're running, you should now understand how you can inform yourself about current updates. We've also shown you how to manipulate the most basic Windows Update settings. Please review the articles linked above for advanced information.
Now that you've seen how Windows Update works in different Windows generations, which one do you prefer? What features or options do you think are missing from Windows Update in the different Windows versions? If your Windows Update isn't working right, see our article on fixing a stuck or broken Windows Update How to Resolve Windows Update Problems in 5 Easy Steps Has Windows Update failed you? Maybe the download got stuck or the update refused to install. We'll show you how to fix the most common issues with Windows Update in Windows 10. Read More .

Book Review: Clockwork Prince, by Cassandra Clare
This is the second book in a series, so if you haven't read the first one, Clockwork Angel, there will be spoilers below.
Despite all their efforts, Tessa and the Shadowhunters of the London Institute are no closer to finding the Magister, nor to Tessa's unusual origins. Now an ultimatum from the Council leaves them only two weeks to find Mortmain or the Institute will be taken from Charlotte and Henry's hands and Tessa will be easy prey for the Magister. Along with self-destructive, charmingly offensive Will, gentle and ailing Jem, and the ever-pouting Jessamine, they'll have to understand why the Magister is at war with the Shadowhunters if they're to have any hope of deflecting his purpose.
Every time I read one of Cassandra Clare's books with my eye toward writing a review, I notice a certain similarity about my notes: they're almost all about the characters. Sometimes things that really stand out about a character, sometimes the way a character relates to another, or compares to another, the way they interact with others…I have a little over two pages of notes and there are maybe two lines that aren't about characters. The thing is, I LOVE her characters, largely because she does not spare them a damn thing. If her characters are in a situation where they can get hurt, chances are they will be. It forces them to stay dynamic, to continue reacting to things and adapting to things, and those reactions have a consequence on others that will then force them to react. So, true to form for me, a lot of this review is going to focus on the characters, because that's what I find most riveting about this book and the others in the series.
I love that we get to start seeing Jem stand on his own a little more, rather than simply being Will's better-natured shadow. Always being mild and good-humored, which is most of what we see through the first book and into the beginning of this, makes him a little bit of a doormat, and thereby a less interesting character. The slash of temper, of fury and bite and the deep hurt that accompanies that, makes him more rounded and frankly more appealing. Part of that comes from Tessa getting to know Jem better, but part of that is also Jem choosing to put himself forward more, choosing to step out of Will's shadow.
Through this book we come to understand the parabatai relationship a little better, and through that we come to understand a little better the dynamic between Will and Jem. They chose to bind themselves to each other and finding out their different reasons is especially revealing. Of Will Jem says "When Will truly wants something, when he feels something, he can break your heart", but Will is an overtly passionate person. He throws himself into things, even when it's nothing more than a facade or a diversion, but the intensity of what he feels is always out there, vibrating in the air around him like a plucked string. Even when the truth of the feeling is hidden, the intensity of it isn't. Jem is the opposite; he holds himself back from things, partly from his health and general life-expectancy, and now he's finally letting himself want something with everything in him, and actually letting himself pursue that. When Jem wants something, truly wants something, he is far more heart-breaking than Will, because his intensity is matched by blinding sincerity.
When it comes right down to it, Jem is a much better friend to Will than Will is to Jem. Will calls Jem his 'great sin', proof of one of the many ways in which he is unutterably selfish. Even when Will starts from good intentions he mucks it up somewhere along the way, generally from a complete and total lack of thought. It's more than keeping people from getting too close to him; it's that he genuinely hurts the only people who love him in spite of how he behaves. That's not to say that the relationship between Jem and Will becomes all angst and pain in this book- it doesn't at all. But it does become more real from incorporating those elements.
I love the bickering amongst the Institute children. Will and Jessamine snipe at each other incessantly, Jem weaves through it with good grace, and Tessa inadvertently makes it worse half the time. Watch teenagers in any group setting and you see the same dynamics, along with Charlotte's resigned pleas to occasionally behave themselves.
I felt so bad for Charlotte through this book. It's easy to forget how truly young she is because she's so weighed down by her responsibilities in the Institute, but she's only 23 or so. She's trying so hard with no one to truly help her, and what she can accomplish is significantly diminished in the eyes of her peers because she's only a woman, and a woman has no business running an Institute. She exhausts herself for so little thanks, and on top of that she has the squabbling children, and the Downworlder relations, and Henry. Oh, Henry. He means so well, but he's so clueless, except- every now and then, we get a flash of the Harry that lurks behind the absent-minded inventor. When he actually focuses on something, when he pulls himself into the present, we see the man who could be a true partner for Charlotte. He's aware of the others within the Institute but Charlotte invests herself in them.
In the first book, it was easy to feel sorry for Jessamine. She was so earnestly wistful about the life she wanted it was easy to be sympathetic. After all, the life of a Shadowhunter isn't easy and it's not the life she chose- how horrendous a life of that sort must be when it's against everything you've ever wanted. Still, it's harder to feel sorry for her this time around. She's so purposefully self-deluding. She's resentful and rude and flat-out refuses to adapt to reality and changing circumstances. It's hard to feel any true sympathy for someone that purposefully disconnected from common sense. I understand that she has dreams, but she also has a stubborn streak a mild wide laced with an overgenerous share of hatefulness. I don't feel sorry for her; I flat pity her.
The secondary characters are amazing. Sophie continues to grow. She's not a creature in the shadows, for all that a large part of her job is to be exactly that, and she continues to gain appealing aspects. The dynamics between the Lightwood brothers are wonderful. It's easy to see how certain traits stay in the Lightwood family. Sometimes Gideon and Gabriel have echoes of Alex and Izzy but they're not mirrors. Gideon is especially intriguing. Gabriel is still young enough that he'll take his father's opinions as his own rather than investigate his own, but Gideon has gotten a see a little bit more of the world. He has all the Lightwood stiffness and then some but he also has the wounded charm of someone whose world has fallen around him. Woolsey Scott is just frickin' hysterical, and I actually really liked Consul Wayland. He's a very fair man who knows that what is fair isn't always easy or even kind. Magnus is, as ever, gorgeous. He's beautifully complicated, and I think Woolsey's observation best sums up Magnus' outlook across both series: you can't save every wounded bird.
Interestingly enough, Tessa is fairly stationary. It's not that she doesn't continue to grow and develop but that she's caught between so many other people that she ultimately ends up in very nearly the place she started. In the first book she was caught between Will and the chance to rescue her brother; here she's caught not only between Will and Jem but by the expectations placed upon her by the London Shadowhunters and the continuing mystery of her origins. And I love it. We know that Tessa is going to be around long after those in the Institute turn to dust. It's a fact of her life, an unavoidable consequence of what she is, very much akin to standing still while the rest of the world moves on without you. It's heart-breaking- but it's also encouraging because we see how she can approach that with grace and unfailing spirit.
And remember that JG that Jace finds in the Silent City?
Be on the lookout.
Until next time~

In response to news media questions regarding a ruling on marriage laws in Utah decided by the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released the following statement:
"The Church has been consistent in its support of marriage between a man and a woman and teaches that all people should be treated with respect. In anticipation that the case will be brought before the U.S. Supreme Court, it is our hope that the nation's highest court will uphold traditional marriage."
See the amicus brief related to the case filed by five religious organizations in February.

I've found that living with chronic pain is a constant balancing act. Each day I have to monitor how my body is doing so I don't create flare ups. I have to check in with myself emotionally so I can keep on an even keel and stay as positive as possible. I have to say no to many things that I would like to do, so that I can say yes to healing.
All of us living with pain have to become masters at this. We have to learn to walk the path in the middle of extremes.
How Much is Too Much?
We have to learn to pay just the right amount of attention to our pain without becoming its servant or making our entire existence about taking care of it, but also not living in complete denial and trying to numb ourselves out both physically and emotionally so we don't feel anything.
We learn to live as positively as possible, while not pretending everything is fine, (never talking about our pain or expressing it) or going to the other end of the spectrum and becoming someone who lives as a victim awash in powerlessness.
We learn to walk the middle path of honoring our emotional selves and our feelings about being in pain and how that limits our lives. We learn that shoving them back down again can just cause more pain later.
Saying Yes, Saying No
We have to find that balance point between the yes and the no, between going too far into a kind of forced positivity and giving up and sliding into depression and hopelessness.
We learn to be able to find ways to continue to participate in life while still living within our physical limits, somehow finding a balance between over doing it and making ourselves worse or becoming a shut-away.
We have to learn to say no without becoming overly negative. Instead, we learn to say it from a place of self awareness and self respect. No, I don't want any more advice, thanks. No, I will not be available today. No, I do not choose that treatment right now.
And we learn to say yes to ourselves. Yes, to taking it slow. Yes, to being alone when we need to. Yes, to help when it's offered. Yes, to doing things that feel nurturing and healing. Yes, to what we need in the moment, even if it's an unpopular choice with others.
Becoming Masters of Balance
This is our challenge. It is the challenge of every human to some extent, but for those of us living with pain, it is more sharply highlighted, more immediate, and more necessary. It becomes a daily practice, often an hourly practice.
In a way, it's our spiritual path. Becoming more aware of ourselves and our own needs in balance with those around us and in balance with the demands from our condition.
All of us who live with chronic pain become adepts at walking that middle road. We become masters of balance, saying no when it matters and saying yes to ourselves, which matters even more.
