At 11:38 a.m. Saturday, a 10-car train carrying Barack Obama pulled out of 30th Street Station Philadelphia, taking the next American president on the symbolic final leg of his historic journey to the White House. The trip, meant to echo one that Abraham Lincoln took to Washington after his election 148 years ago, was yet another reminder that Obama, who has come to personify the American future, is deeply conversant with its complicated past.
"We are here to mark the beginning of our journey to Washington," Obama told a small group of about 200 supporters at a relatively intimate event inside the grand art-deco station before setting off. "This is fitting because it was here, in this city, that our American journey began. It was here that a group of farmers and lawyers, merchants and soldiers, gathered to declare their independence and lay claim to a destiny that they were being denied."
Resonating throughout that observation is the understanding that his election represents a step toward resolution for claims African Americans have had on the American conscience, for other destinies denied and promises unmet because of prejudice.
"…If we could just recognize ourselves in one another and bring everyone together—Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, north, south, east and west, black, white, Latino, Asian, and Native American, gay and straight, disabled and not," Obama said, "then not only would we restore hope and opportunity in places that yearned for both, but maybe, just maybe, we might perfect our union in the process."
As the train rolled along, people lined the streets along the tracks; stood on overpasses and in closed railroad stations to wave at the incoming president. Despite the blistering cold, others stood on the roof of their garages, on their decks, in their backyards and on empty lots to wave at the train with American flags of all sizes.
The first stop was Wilmington, Delaware, hometown of the vice-president elect, Joe Biden, who boarded the train for the ride to Washington. "This is no ordinary train ride," Biden told the crowd before introducing Obama. "This is a new beginning."
Margie Maynard, a Wilmington resident who arrived for the 1 p.m. evening train at 8:30 a.m., said it was -4 degrees with the wind when she arrived. But nothing was going to deter her. "It's once in a lifetime," she said. "Change is about to come, and it can only get better."
Along the way, more than one sign read "Happy Birthday Michelle." The future first lady, Michelle Obama, turned 45 on Saturday, and the crowd in Wilmington broke into a spontaneous rendition of "Happy Birthday." Along with their families, Obama and Biden were traveling with about 40 people who Obama met on the campaign and were invited to be his guests at the inauguration.
Obama promised that these people and their stories will be central to his administration's action and its decision making. "Theirs are the voices I will carry with me every day in the White House," he said. "Theirs are the stories I will be thinking of when we deliver the changes you elected me to make."
At stop after stop, Obama exuded an optimism that does not feel quite right in these economic times, but he has mastered the language of the American myth and more than anything else he is selling hope.
"The American Revolution did not end when British guns fell silent. It was never something to be won only on a battlefield or fulfilled only in our founding documents," Obama said. "It was not simply a struggle to break free from empire and declare independence. The American Revolution was—and remains—an ongoing struggle in the minds and hearts of the people."
In Baltimore, thousands waited all day in the cold for the late afternoon event. "I will not be traveling alone," Obama said. "I will be taking with me some of the men and women I met along the way, Americans from every corner of this country, whose hopes and heartaches were the core of our cause; whose dreams and struggles have become my own."

1.1 This test method describes a procedure for the determination of the vapor pressure of pure liquids or melts from boiling point measurements made using differential thermal analysis (DTA) or differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) instrumentation operated at different applied pressures.
1.2 This test method may be used for the temperature range 273 to 773 K (0 to 500°C) and for pressures between 0.2 kPa to 2 MPa. These ranges may differ depending upon the instrumentation used and the thermal stability of materials tested. Because a range of applied pressures is required by this test method, the analyst is best served by use of instrumentation referred to as high pressure differential thermal instrumentation (HPDSC or HPDTA).
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. (See also IEEE/ASTM SI 10.)
1.4 There is no ISO standard equivalent to this test method.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Losing shoes is a part of having shoes on a horse. When you look at the physics of what is involved in putting and keeping a shoe on a foot, it is a wonder that we don't lose more shoes than we do. Horses work and live in a variety of terrains and environments, and keeping a piece of metal between them and the ground with a few square nails can be quite a feat.Since losing shoes is a fact of life for a horse owner, you should be prepared for when it happens. The first thing you want to do is to call your farrier so that they can have as much time as possible to get an additional stop worked into their schedule. Between the time that you contact the farrier and the farrier's arrival, you should try hard to find that shoe. Finding the shoe is important for a couple of reasons. First, it may give clues as to how the shoe was lost, and the farrier can then make changes to keep it on. Second, the farrier won't have as much work or expense in putting the shoe back on if you have the lost shoe available. No one is happy about a lost shoe, but when the shoe has been found, it is likely that at least the farrier will be a bit happier.Be patient when you get hold of your farrier. Most farriers are booked from can to can't, so adding another stop is not necessarily an easy thing.If you have to use the horse, then try very hard to use it in the gentlest way. Stay to the softer terrain, or look for some of the boots that are offered for this purpose. If the horse is in need of a reset and the feet are long, it is often a good idea to pull the opposite shoe so that the feet wear evenly. Check with your farrier first, because they won't want to nail on 2 shoes if the horse is not getting reshod.For shoes that are partially still on but hanging by a couple of nails, you should get those off of the foot immediately. There is good chance that the horse will injure itself with the shoe on the foot in the wrong place.Every farrier practice has different policies to deal with this situation. For us, we try very hard to shoe in a way that the foot will always be improving and the horse is comfortable. There are times when the best shoeing for the horse is not likely to stay on the foot. Making a decision of millimeters to provide the best support and protection, and still keep the shoe on is part of the learning curve that comes with shoeing each and every individual horse. That being said, the prettiest shoe that won't stay on is not a good outcome. For me, I shoe each horse as if it were mine. If it loses a shoe, I will make the changes that I feel are needed to keep that from happening again. Some of the options are clips, tighter length and expansion, and in extreme cases, barbed heels. My policy for the owner is that nailing the lost shoe back on is free if they are able to find the shoe. If not, then it is kind of a case-by-case basis. A mean owner is likely to get charged and lose their farrier, and I rarely charge the ones that really appreciate the extra effort that it takes to service a horse with a lost shoe.When your horse loses a shoe, remember that the farrier is probably more upset about it than you are. It is a fact of life for horses with shoes on, so deal with it and move on. A lost shoe does not mean a bad farrier, it just means a lost shoe.Chris Gregory, CJF, FWCFHeartland Horseshoeing School327 SW 1st LaneLamar, MO. 64759(417) email@example.com

Potatoe Girl
We live, we die I don't know the reasons we ask why We hate, we push Recent tests show we all are misunderstood Something's seizing You know you lost your mind You know we all need saving She found you late last night You feel the madness gaining You know you just can't win You know this But I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground I never knew the girl And I never knew the world hurt We beg, we pray But everything still happens anyway Something's teasing Your conscience can't decide She stopped your will from caving But left you paranoid You feel the constant straining She reappears divine You noticed But I'm just so tired of waking up all alone
Lately I can't breathe Waiting, they're chasing me No one listens but I'm okay with it Only I wonder why If only my hands weren't tied The world's a blister But I'm okay with it What if I was there What if I was scared I'm waiting for...

Lying awake
I'm here to wear you out I'm here to watch you hide Nothing to figure out I'm here to watch you die Running away from the breast of Your busy giant healing machine Nobody left in line No one to make you shine Hanging on to the backs of opinions You've borrowed and betrayed Lying awake Don't ask why you should pay for this A mother, another A shameless abusing But this time we're saving you I'm here to break you down I'm here to bury time Nothing to talk about Nothing to change my mind

Author Notes: This hamantaschen recipe comes to us from my new cookbook, Modern Jewish Cooking: Recipes & Customs for Today's Kitchen (Chronicle Books, 2015). It fills the sweet dough triangles with a mixture of ground poppy seeds and melted chocolate for a deliciously unexpected spin on the classic. —Leah Koenig
Makes: about 36 cookies
For the dough:
2 1/2
cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
teaspoon baking powder
teaspoon kosher salt
tablespoon water, plus more if needed
cup vegetable oil
cup sugar
For the filling:
cup poppy seeds
cup milk
cup sugar
cup finely chopped dried apricots
tablespoon fresh orange juice
tablespoon fresh lemon juice
tablespoon unsalted butter
ounce bittersweet baking chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
teaspoons vanilla extract
In This Recipe
For the dough:
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix water, vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs until combined. Slowly stir in the flour mixture, mixing until the dough begins to come together. Turn the dough out onto a flat surface and knead a few times with your hands until it is smooth, but not sticky. (If the dough appears too dry, knead in more water, 1 teaspoon -- and no more! -- at a time. If it looks too wet, knead in up to 1/4 cup more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach the right consistency.)
- Gather the dough, then divide it in half with a knife and form into two flat disks. Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
For the filling:
- Use a spice or coffee grinder to grind the poppy seeds, working in batches if necessary, until powdery, 15 to 20 seconds.
- In a small saucepan set over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar, ground poppy seeds, and apricots. Bring to a simmer, then turn the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until almost all the liquid is absorbed and the mixture thickens, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add the orange juice, lemon juice, and butter and cook until absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the chocolate and vanilla and cook, stirring continuously until the chocolate melts and the mixture is very thick, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly before filling hamantaschen. If desired, make up to 2 days ahead and store, covered, in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove half of the dough from the refrigerator (keep the other half wrapped and chilled). On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter or glass to cut out as many circles as possible and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch between each. Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, cut out additional circles, and transfer them to the baking sheet.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of each dough circle. Fold the left side over on an angle, followed by the right side. Fold the bottom flap up, tucking one end under the side flap to make a triangle-shaped pocket (the filling should still be visible in the center); pinch the seams firmly to seal. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
- Bake until lightly golden and browned at the corners, about 15 to 18 minutes, until the cookies are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. These are best served warm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers briefly in a toaster oven.

Portland Winterhawks clinch WHL championship with win over Edmonton Oil KingsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
EDMONTON - The Portland Winterhawks earned some redemption in the Western Hockey League final.
After reaching the final three years in a row, the Winterhawks finally won the Ed Chynoweth Cup with a 5-1 victory over the defending champion Edmonton Oil Kings in Game 6 on Sunday.
Last season the Winterhawks lost out to the Oil Kings in a 4-3 series decision, and the year previous to the Kootenay Ice by a 4-1 margin.
Ty Rattie's hat trick, which included a pair of short-handed goals, led Portland, with Oliver Bjorkstrand and Taylor Leier adding singles. Travis Ewanyk had the lone goal for Edmonton.
Ewanyk was credited with opening up the scoring just 1:04 into the contest, but it was a potentially disastrous own goal off Winterhawk defender Derrick Pouliot. Mac Carruth made the initial left pad save off Ewanyk's wrister, but as Pouliot picked up the rebound the puck drifted off his stick at the side of the net and straight into goal.
But Portland's penalty kill made up for it with two straight short-handed goals on the same double minor to Chase De Leo for high sticking.
Nicolas Petan forced the turnover at 4:28 off Edmonton defender Martin Gernat, then fed it out in front to a waiting Rattie who tied the game at one apiece. Then at 7:15, Rattie burst into the zone and around the net to finish a short-handed wraparound, giving Portland the 2-1 edge.
Bjorkstrand doubled the Portland lead at 3:54 of the second, his wrist shot from the right wing just squeaking under the glove arm of Edmonton netminder Laurent Brossoit.
Curtis Lazar had Edmonton's best chance of the second to pull back within one, streaking in alone halfway through the period but defied by the well-timed poke check of Carruth.
Rattie finished off the hat trick with his 20th of the playoffs at 13:25. Petan corralled a bouncing puck in the Edmonton zone and whipped it across to Rattie for the wide-open net.
With the goal, Rattie goes down in the record books tied for fourth all-time in goals over a single season's WHL playoffs, alongside Dan Spring of the 1971 Oil Kings and Doug Morrison of the 1979 Lethbridge Broncos. Petan had assists on all three of Rattie's goals.
Rattie had an opportunity in the third to add to his totals on a breakaway with four minutes to go, but was denied by Brossoit before the empty-net goal by Leier finished it off.
Carruth stopped 25 shots in net for Portland in his third straight appearance in the finals. Brossoit turned aside 20 shots for the Oil Kings.

Nursing Student Dragged into Woods By Camouflaged Abductor
(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) -- Almost 400 volunteers are searching the dense West Tennessee woodlands looking for a 20-year-old nursing student last seen being dragged by a man dressed in camouflage into the woods near her home, investigators said.
Holly Bobo was dragged "across the carport of her home…toward a wooded area" in the town of Parsons on Wednesday, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Both Bobo's mother and 25-year-old brother watched the woman being abducted and called 911.
Mayer would not say if family members tried to intervene or if they were suspected in the abduction.
Bobo is a cousin of Whitney Duncan, a country music singer and a finalist on the television talent show Nashville Star.
"My cousin Holly was kidnapped this morning," Duncan wrote on Facebook. "Please pray for her & our family. This is really sad & shocking."
Investigators initially believe the young woman may have been abducted from her house in a home invasion, but John Mayer, spokesman for the TBI told ABCNews.com that "the suspect was never inside."
Police won't comment on what else family members told them or what evidence may have been left behind.
"The investigation is ongoing," said Mayer.
Between 300 and 400 people are involved in today's search, Mayer said.
Investigators are using sniffing dogs and a helicopter to comb the rural area around Bobo's home, about 100 miles north of Memphis.
Calls to Bobo's family were not returned.
Bobo is five-foot-three and weighs 110 pounds. She was last seen wearing a pink shirt and blue jeans.

Ever get super excited about a fabulous pair of sunglasses you just ordered online for a great deal, only to have them arrive, and look nothing on you like it did the model! I know, I've been there, and it IS super frustrating! Ever notice how the same thing goes for buying clothing online too? It's not that the model has one up on you, it's just that we have different body types. And like bodies, are faces are all different shapes too, which is why those beautiful cat eye sunnies may have looked extra fabulous on that model, but not so much on you!
In this day and age, who even visits a store to shop anymore? I can't remember the last time I went somewhere and "shopped" for fashion. Granted, Utah doesn't have the greatest shopping ever, but unless I'm in Vegas, that is about the only time I visit the fancy shops anymore. I do pretty much all of my shopping online these days, even for groceries! Why? Because you can shop the whole world from your computer, so you're sure to find the best variety and best deal out there. Your local boutique can't guarantee you that.
Because online shopping is so major now and is going nowhere anytime soon, it's absolutely vital you learn your body type and if you're in the market for some new shades after that last disaster that showed up, you absolutely need to know your face shape and what looks good on it too! Read on for my tips for finding your perfect match!

Updates of K-Meter and traKmeter
I have just released K-Meter v2.2.0 and traKmeter v2.0.0. Most parts of the source code have completely been rewritten and should run faster while breaking less things. New features are WASAPI in the Windows stand-alones and support for skins. In traKmeter, operation of the signal meters has …

Owner Ged Rathbone stressed he will do all he can to save Peterborough Panthers during a passionate mid-meeting address last night (October 6).
Rathbone took to the tannoy during a 50-43 victory against Workington at the East of England Arena - a sixth consecutive SGB Championship success for the city club.
Panthers' existence has been placed under threat after Rathbone was hit with a major five-figure punishment from the Speedway Control Bureau (SCB) for allowing star rider Jack Holder to miss meetings in this country to race in Poland.
While declining to reveal exact figures, Rathbone claimed the fine dished out to him is the biggest ever issued in British speedway.
He also admitted there is no chance of the club racing on without his involvement due to their East of England Arena landlords being unwilling to work with another promotion.
Rathbone said: "We're disappointed with the outcome of the SCB hearing, but there is a lot we can't say at this stage for legal reasons.
"I'm led to believe the fine issued to us is the largest in the history of British speedway. It is something we do not agree with and we intend to appeal it.
"This club has been mine and my partner, Lisa's, life for the past three years, but it has now been put into serious jeopardy.
"I could quite easily have walked away yesterday when I found out the SCB decision, but I have far too much respect for our supporters to do that.
"I've have seen in the last couple of days how much the club means to a lot of people and I'll do everything I can to ensure it survives.
"But the simple fact is that if I'm not involved, there is no Peterborough Speedway. Our landlords will not deal with anyone else due to the way they have been messed around in the past."
Rathbone's address received a generous round of applause from supporters gathered at Alwalton. He has also been inundated with positive messages on social media since the SCB ruling was made public knowledge on Thursday afternoon.
Specific details are still unclear, but the Peterborough Telegraph understands the initial fine, plus further associated penalties, could cost Panthers in excess of £40,000.

Swaying, jiving, clapping, singing. A group at ease with themselves as well as the joy of a rhythm and blues orchestra and not giving a fig who knew it.
And this was the middle-aged audience at the Derngate at the end of Jools Holland's third or fourth encore number.
I think the first women to stand up and dance in the aisles did so during KT Tunstall's version of 'I Want you Back'.
But they were definitely all chanting along with the choruses long beforehand, like the rapt football crowd they had gradually become.
Chief cheerleader was Jools himself, who, on top of his trademark easy banter, was wont to let his preternatural piano playing spill over into leading Freddie Mercury-style sing offs. They were happy to oblige.
It wasn't like they weren't already warmed up by that point.
Support act Purdy showed she belonged on the same bill as all that illustrious talent with a velvet-lined voice that set fires burning in all present.
Striding onto the stage in a see-through skirt, the tall blonde made sure she had everyone's attention before slowly making us melt into our seats.
The coy links between songs only endeared her to us more and by the time she got to Peggy Lee's Johnny Guitar, Purdy and her band made us forget all about Jools and his.
But, after we were allowed the interval to recover, Mr Holland arrived with a sky-high wave and anyone who doubted he was the main event were soon jolted back to reality.
He and his dozen instrumentalists launched into a 24-song set that stamped a grin on your face as wide as his new piano. (I'm going by the official set list although the promoters were obviously as bewitched as we were and have missed at least two more songs).
Why? Because they were simply having fun. Solo fun under the spotlight, fun showing off, fun in a tight disciplined section, fun just going for it, letting their talent lead them where it might and billowing pure magic into the auditorium.
Saxophonists, when they weren't exhorting even higher efforts from the others, or the crowd, or some personal rhythm and blues deity, kicked out their legs in pleasure as they traversed a particularly satisfying flurry.
Jools himself is obviously a masterful piano player, whose casual style almost conceals his genius Yet he is a great singer in a way that almost defies scrutiny. He doesn't hold notes, he declares them and his phrasing is simple and natural. Heard live, he's a compelling proposition.
His friends for the night were four ladies of gigantic talent, including Northampton's VV Brown who seemed born to sing her version of Nina Simone's 'My Baby Just Cares for Me'.
But musically-speaking it was Ruby Turner who climbed into our ears and made off with our hearts.
Pulled onto the stage by chants of her name she delighted everyone with a mini-set of five songs, culminating with Peace in the Valley that saw the Derngate swaying as one happy mass.
If you were looking around at that point, a good two-and-a-half hours in, you would have seen beaming faces, clapping hands and couples doing a slow dance in the boxes.
It was that kind of night. Something special was produced on that stage and we all took a piece of it home with us.
Innocent joy celebrated en masse. Thank you Mr Holland, and all your friends.

|"In (my)space no one can hear you delete your profile"
Sam says: This slogan (a riff on the Alien tag-line) came to me as I responded to comments on my Facebook post about how useless myspace has become. After staring at it on the page I thought, "Hey, that would make a cool ironic T-shirt!" Unsure if I was just entertaining myself in the vacuum of the internet, I decided to put it to the test at Kickstarter. And it turns out people DID like the idea. Enough people pledged, to hit the goal and fund the manufacturing of this shirt.

ZURICH (Reuters) - LafargeHolcim, the world's largest cement maker, will close its head offices in Paris and Zurich, eliminating 200 jobs as part of a cost-cutting drive.
Chief Executive Jan Jenisch said the cuts, announced by the Franco-Swiss company on Friday, were part of a plan to simplify the company's structure and improve performance.
"This painful but necessary simplification step is key to creating a leaner, faster and more competitive LafargeHolcim," he said in a statement.
LafargeHolcim, which employs 80,000 people globally, is at the start of a new strategy under Jenisch following the company's underperformance in recent years.
Closing the Paris office, which was first reported by Reuters on Thursday, could spark opposition in France, where the merger of France's Lafarge with Switzerland's Holcim in 2015 was promoted as a merger of equals. The economy ministry in Paris did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
A French unionist said that while the announcement came as no surprise following regular staff cuts in recent years, the move laid bare where the balance of power lay in the company.
"This makes it quite clear that it is the Swiss who hold the reins of power," Sylvain Moreno of the hard-left CGT union told Reuters.
Under the plan, the group will move its operations in Zurich to its site in Holderbank, in Switzerland, where LafargeHolcim's predecessor company Holcim opened its first cement plant in 1912.
Other functions would be shifted to a new corporate office in the Swiss town of Zug, LafargeHolcim said in a statement.
According to the plan, 107 jobs in the Zurich area and Holderbank will be cut, and 97 in Paris will go. No other sites in France will be affected, the company said.
The cuts are part of a 400 million Swiss franc ($403 million) cost-reduction programme announced by the group in March when it said it would close its Singapore and Miami offices by the middle of this year.
LafargeHolcim has lost 27 percent since the merger was completed in 2015, trailing a 32 percent gain by the Stoxx Euro 600 construction & materials index.
Earnings have disappointed and the company has also been embroiled in a scandal after it admitted paying armed groups to keep a cement factory running in war-ravaged Syria.
The affair, which is being investigated by legal authorities in France, triggered the departure of CEO Eric Olsen and his replacement by Jenisch last year. Olsen denies any wrongdoing.
The company said on Friday that it was on track to hit the 400 million franc savings goal by the first quarter of 2019, adding the closure of the Miami and Singapore offices had been completed.
Bernd Pomrehn, an analyst at Bank Vontobel in Zurich, said the office closures fit with Jenisch's more localised strategy.
"Jan Jenisch is now again giving the regions more responsibilities, which requires less overhead in Zurich and Paris," he said.

Last Day of 2007, Already?
New Year's Eve.
Can't believe 2007 is almost over (even more so for you folks in Malaysia- 14 hours ahead of us). As with the past years, this year has again breezed by. And now, I catch myself wondering what I did this past year.
This has certainly been a memorable one. Professionally and personally. The highlights that stick out:
- I realized who I'm meant to spend the rest of my life with. And asked her to marry me.
- I took my harrowing board exams, and became a board-certified endocrinologist.
- Being apart of the New Orleans Health Recovery week. Experiences that I will remember all my life.
- My buddy being diagnosed with his cancer. And yet, the love and support everyone has shown in response. He's truly become an inspiration to me.
My brother's wedding in Malaysia, and being able to be a part of it. And knowing I was going to propose soon thereafter made it more special
- I published some papers with much guidance from my mentors; papers I probably will never again write after I graduate (out of laziness or lack of motivation?).
- Our weddings. Yes, plural. In the USA (June) and Malaysia (July). Drawing lots for invitations to the Malaysian wedding so email me fast!
- Leaving the place I've trained and worked for the last 6 years. And going into the 'real' world of medicine. In some ways I'm anxious, perhaps even fearful. After all, practising medicine here is so, easy, so perfect. But it's time I try to fly on my own.
- Leaving my 'home' here for the last 6 years, and moving to my first self-purchased home. Kris and I are already planning how to decorate it, and where to put the swimming pool (kidding!).
- Finally buying my silver Mercedes-Benz SLK. It's just a matter of time.
- Seeing my kid sister graduate from medical school.
(And do party safe)

Western Asiatic Pre-Achaemenid Large Silver Bowl for Ampirish, King of Samati. 6th century BC. A large
sheet silver dish with chamfered rim; accompanied by an original old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: Ancient Iranian Large Silver Dish with Inscription 42.5cm. diam., 9.5 cm. high. This is an extremely large dish, probably the largest of its kind, and in remarkably good condition. It is hammered from sheet metal with a strengthened lip, on which is an inscription in Neo-Elamite cuneiform script: ?am-pi-ri-i? sunki sa-ma-tir?-ra ?ak? da-ba-la-na / Ampirish, king of Samati, son of Dabala. This comes from north-west Iran, and dates to c. 600-550 B.C.

This is a fine example of the silver-ware produced at this time in the area of north-west Iran, and important for the history of ancient Iranian art, being pre-Achaemenid. 2.4 kg, 42cm (16 1/2"") Very fine condition. Extremely rare. Property of a North London lady; gifted from her father's collection; formerly with a Mayfair gallery, London, UK; previously acquired in the 1980s.

|the jelly shoes
Fast forward a year later, and I'm still here:)
My first day in the Philippines, most of it spent driving in a van to my first area, wide-eyed with a still shiny name tag. I sat in the back, squished in between my suitcases, looking out the window as rain pelted the wind-shield. I wondered how I was going to walk in the floods I saw outside, how I was going to teach people that only came up to my shoulders, and how I was ever going to get through a year and a half of this.
|Sister Samau & Sister Taylor
It's been a year with lots of walking, laughing and meeting new people that I love. It's been 12 months of figuring out who I want to become and the kind of person I should be. And if you think about it, 365 days is a lot of time to think. Time I've had to change and time to improve. It's so cool to look back an entire year. Look at year-old pictures, year-old journal entries, talk to year-old companions, and realizing how much I've changed everyday of that 1 year.
And the even better part is to think of that whole 6 months I still have left:)
But we have reached the rainy season once again. The umbrellas, plastic bags for BofM's, and my good ole' jelly shoes have come out again! Guagua has the biggest floods in the whole mission, we have been told to be really careful in our area, make sure we always have our 72hr. kits, and have also been prepared to work only a little bit because of all the floods we get here.
...Bring it on:) Missionary work gets so much funner when you have to do it in knee-high floods.
But like I said, my companion transferred this week and left me in our area. I miss her. We got along really really well, as in probably one of my favorite companions. We were both non-emotional, 'get it done' kind of people and were good at not taking things very seriously. She taught me to eat like a Samoan and be patient, and I taught her to.... play solitare (I'm pretty sure she learned other things from me too?). We spent all our free time playing speed and cards in the apartment (especially when she was sick). But this week, I was left all alone to play cards by myself when I was bored, eating 4 month old m&m's, and trying not to think how fun our companionship was... My companion right now is Filipina. She told me she doesn't play cards.
|Memorial Park
Funny Story: We were walking around our area this week with not much to do and walked past a sign to "Memorial Park." Usually when you see signs like that, it means subdivision. And for a missionary, it means lots of rich people houses:) So we followed the sign, went in the gate and found a big, long road with houses all up and down. I was SO excited. We start walking past the houses, and I see that there's no furniture or... anything inside but a big box. At every house it's that way. Turns out this memorial park, what I thought was a subdivision was a cemetery. We had a great plan to find all these people, and they just happen to be dead. In the Philippines, it's normal to build big, fancy houses for your dead relatives to stay in. And I took a picture at the dead people's house.
LOVE x10000000,

Choosing the Topic of your Website based on Keywords
This is where it starts to get fun! Different topics monetize differently, i.e. it's easier to monetize a site about Mobile Phones than a site about Saving the Rainforest. It's easier to rank on Google with a website about Seattle Graffiti Artists than Home Insurance Loans (as that is a HIGHLY competitive industry). This is where we need to do some research into various topics. Generally if you can get a website up quickly about a new product or idea, if that product makes it big then your site should get a lot of traffic.
Researching can be fun, you can come across topics you never thought were so popular, write them down for future projects. Research is based around Keywords. Keywords are the most important part of creating a website. They are the words that identify your site & also that people will search to find your site.
Use the tool to research the niche or area that you want to create your website on.
You can use it to see how competitive the market is, how often terms are searched for & also it can help give you some insight into keywords you might not have thought about using.
Example of Highly Competitive & Hard to Rank for Terms:
Home Loans
House Insurance
Online Casino
Bad Debt
Example of Less Competitive & Easier to Rank for Terms:
Viagra for Midgets
Home Loans for the over 60's
Surfing School in California
Gambling Advice in Kentucky
Australian Idol Final Results
Can you see a pattern emerging? Yep shorter keywords are generally harder to rank for so that's why we choose strings of keywords. However do not be totally put off single or double keywords as there ARE ones out there that you can rank well for, you just need to get lucky.

Newcastle are edging towards the signing of Brazilian centre back Douglas, but a deal for his Twente team-mate Luuk de Jong has stalled.
The news comes after a month of intense negotiations between Newcastle and Twente, with Magpies director Derek Llambias spending the last week in Holland trying to push through moves for the highly-rated duo.
Newcastle are long-term admirers of elegant central defender Douglas and believe they have finally got their man, but the formalities of the deal may have to wait until August when the player is due to receive a Dutch passport.
The 24-year-old is thought to have provisionally agreed terms on a four-year-contract, with a fee of £5 million due to change hands, but Newcastle have had less success with Douglas' team-mate de Jong, after Twente snubbed their latest bid of £10 million.
Alan Pardew is desperate to wrap up the deal for the exciting striker, but after having had an £8 million offer rejected last week, the Newcastle manager put a £10 million limit on his attempts to recruit the Netherlands frontman.
Twente have told Pardew he must find at least £15 million to tempt them to sell, but things have now hit a stalemate, and Llambias has returned to the North East.
Newcastle are now hoping de Jong can do his bit to force a move after it became clear he wanted to quit Dutch football, with his agent telling the national media that his mind has been made up to leave.
'The decision is taken. He wants to further develop in to a bigger league,' Louis Laros told Voetbal International.
'The important thing for us is the sporting perspective of Luuk. Not the money, but the way of playing and the amount of playing time he will get will be decisive.'
Elsewhere, Newcastle will be able to call on extra cash to fund their transfer plans, after Leon Best and Frazer Forster completed moves out of the club.
Best has switched to Blackburn for £3 million, while keeper Forster has re-joined Celtic for £2 million.

Driving to a meeting yesterday I saw a "Cone of Shame" bumper sticker. After six blocks of following the yellow VW Bug, I gave up my attempt to get a picture of it. But several of the kids decided to model the cone in the first day of Bear's recovery.
First it was Emma and Sam who modeled the cone. Emma said, "It smells like Bear in hear.
Sam had difficulty breathing with the cone on.
When I am home I relieve Bear of the cone. Though our human minds might think wearing a cone is emotionally straining for Bear, I am not so sure. He certainly looked sad when I first put the dish on, but since then he has adjusted quite nicely to it. He just barrels through the house. He forces his way under the table. He pushes past chairs and tables with the cone bending and snapping as he goes. And now when I put it back on him, he doesn't even flinch.
Since Bear can't talk, I'll speak for him. He doesn't mind the cone so much. It is a bit of an annoyance, and the cats aren't sure what to think, but because he gets long stretches with it off, it isn't so bad. He can lay and relax at Declan's feet. And the need for the cone diminishes with the scars decreasing in annoyance.
The biggest challenge during this recovery will be the low activity needed to ensure the staples stay intact. It is day three of recovery and Bear is chomping at the bit. I take him for short walks a couple of times a day. This is not nearly enough stretching of the physical limits. This morning Dec was getting on his bike to ride to school and Bear was so excited to run to school. He ran and jumped along side Dec for half a block until I could reign him in. (The vet warned against any running and jumping for the next 12-14 days.)
Training has continued. In fact, the kids take part in a lot more of the training. Emma and Sam tend to put Bear through some drills every morning. Declan does some exercises with Bear every day. I can tell when Declan has done some training because Bear's collar is missing. Declan thinks the collar is uncomfortable for Bear. I believe the training from different people is very helpful. It is important for Bear to receive both commands and treats from people other than me. Not only does it condition him to "listen" to others, but it also gives him permission to signal low-blood sugars to other people. In fact, this morning Bear signaled Dec, and he was indeed low.

That's one. The other one is to avoid to deal with yet another configuration file alongside setup.py, and just deal with a [metadata] section in setup.cfg. And PKG-INFO stays a static, platform-specific file that exists only when the distribution is installed on the target platform. >> No, but if you ask for it I can write it. > > Please do.

Lawyer says Lohan broke sobriety
EmptyNEW YORK -- Lindsay Lohan fell off the sobriety wagon on New Year's Eve, her lawyer said Thursday, ending a year that saw the star check into rehab several times and land in jail for drunken driving and cocaine possession.
Lohan was captured on video, posted on celebrity Web site TMZ.com, sipping from a champagne bottle in Italy where she was honored at the Capri Film Festival.
"After being handed a champagne bottle while on a dance floor in Italy on New Year's Eve and drinking from it, the good news is that Lindsay immediately stopped, called her sponsor, and got herself back on track," lawyer Blair Berk said in a statement.
"There is no magic cure here. Unfortunately, Lindsay has to share her 'one day at a time' with the entire world," Berk said.
In December 2006, Lohan said she had been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for about a year, then in January 2007 she checked in for a month in rehab.
In May, Lohan checked into rehab for another six weeks after being arrested for driving under the influence when she crashed her car.
Shortly after completing rehab in July, Lohan was arrested for a second time, this time on charges of drunken driving and cocaine possession. She checked into rehab for a third time, spending two months at a center in Utah.

Here's the thing about The Great Good Thing
A couple of weeks ago, Amazon shipped out a book by American conservative writer Andrew Klavan. It's an autobiography with a weird title, The Great Good Thing. It's not about how America is great, or how being a conservative is fantastic, or how awesome his life is.
A couple of weeks ago, Amazon shipped out a book by American conservative writer Andrew Klavan. It's an autobiography with a weird title, The Great Good Thing. It's not about how America is great, or how being a conservative is fantastic, or how awesome his life is. (Okay, maybe he goes over his pretty sweet adult life.) It is instead about his life growing up in a Jewish household, living life as an agnostic, and, at almost 50 years old, finding faith in Christ. As its subtitle succinctly explains, "A secular Jew comes to faith in Christ."
When this was introduced to me by a podcaster I listen to, I felt compelled to read it. As someone who is exploring their faith again, I couldn't help but wonder if Klavan had some answers.
While he did not have the answer to "Should I subscribe to Christian beliefs?" he had other answers. Klavan is the kind of man who makes sure everything makes sense. Even as a child, his stories had to make sense, otherwise he scrapped them. If a character was capable of flying, why did he have wings? Whether the fantasy is causally possible is irrelevant, so long as it can logically happen. If he was a part of a science experiment to become superhuman, he did not have to know how the science worked; it just did.
Why is that important? I thought the same thing throughout the book. It is not until Chapter 11 of 14 that Klavan comes to his five epiphanies to finding God, and even those are vague. In the acknowledgements, Klavan admits the book was twice as long before his wife helped edit out unimportant bits. I came to realize a little too late that he writes everything because it provides important context. The fact he did not study for his bar mitzvah and ad libbed his prayers tells us he never believed in what he actually was supposed to, as demanded by his father. So when reading the book, it is important to remember that all writing has a purpose, and it is your responsibility to find that purpose.
Klavan answers probably the most important question for all people considering religion: is it possible for an intellectual thinker, who wants unambiguous answers to everything, to believe in a God who made the world and its laws? Can someone like Klavan really settle for God to be the first cause? His answer is yes, and his five epiphanies bring him to that conclusion. The short version is the idea of morality being absolute, and therefore a God must have created them, otherwise moral assignments from anyone else are arbitrary and subjective. Whether or not that is convincing is up to you, so long as you have at least read his position.
Some might not find his book as a convincing explanation of why Klavan became baptized. In the first few chapters, Klavan mentions he always believed in a god, but he wasn't sure who that god was, and if any faith would align with his vision of God. He mentions it again at least a couple more times. He describes miracles as not mere coincidences, where others would brush them off as sheer luck.
Nonetheless, Klavan describes in vivid detail his adventures from age five to 50 — a 45-year path to God and Jesus Christ. To add context, Klavan is normally a mystery-thriller writer, and The Great Good Thing works with that style, despite it being about his journey to faith. His story is quite the adventure. He traveled across America, moved to London, and, for the longest time, could not successfully sell one damn book. Yet here he is, famous for writing books such as True Crime and Empire of Lies, and the movie One Missed Call.
I recommend this book to anyone like myself who still questions their faith, and even to those who are confident in their position to explore different ideas and opinions. I also recommend it to pastors, rabbis, and other such religious leaders to remind them that zealotry without belief doesn't get anyone anywhere. Religious parents would find this useful to know what not to do when raising their children in a religious household. Overall, I recommend this to anyone who wants to know why certain people turn to faith.
Overall, The Great Good Thing was enjoyable and eye-opening from front to back.
