I always think to myself: "I need to go and write a post on Gongey.com". I finally get around to doing it 1-3 weeks after I starting thinking the above thought. When I do get around to starting the post my mind likes to play a little trick on me. Apparently my mind thinks it's funny to go completely and absolutely blank. Thus rendering my ability, to write a nice blog post, null and void.
Sometimes the reboot process, of my brain, is so long that I finally end up becoming distracted with Facebook or some other website. Not today though! With the courage and bravery of a thousand Christmas' before me, I write this blog post!
To make this a more concise post I will list the things happening in my life at this time. It will be a numbered list starting at 13. Why 13 you ask? Because arbitrary numbers are awesome my friend.
- I have been working 4 different sites right now for work. One of those being http://www.natural-edge.com, the other 3 I can't discuss at this time. I think they are going to be some pretty good money makers though!
- I finished up with The Courier a couple of months ago. Now I want to do something a little more serious. I have a couple of ideas right now for future movies. Both of them are more drama than previous silly attempts with zombies. The most difficult part of making "short" movies is the learning process. Each movie I can see I am getting a little better, so that is good, but I want to be awesome right from the start! I know I have quite a ways to go. Luckily the learning process is fun. Getting to hang out with friends and family is always a good thing. Making movies with them at the same time is even better!
- I have been playing around with the idea of creating a small Facebook app for some time. The last couple of days I have started getting more and more ideas for the app. So I believe the time has come to start coding it.
I always want to keep track of the movies I have seen, have the ability to rate them and add notes about what I thought about that movie. There are a few sites out there that are similar to what I want but nothing exactly matches. There are none, that I have seen, that use Facebook to integrate socially to the degree I am looking. MovieList, MoviesIveSeen or MovieNotes are a couple of names I am thinking of using.
- There is more but this post is already becoming too long.
I will add another post soon…

Pretty interesting concept. I like it... I like it a lot. Also, Cagalli is yum. <3
Very clean vectoring. You've made a very nice wallpaper! ^^
1600x1200 Wallpaper
Artist Comment
This kind of idea was inspired by a trip to a store that sells school supplies one day. I happen to see a glass case where they sale the most expensive pens. I kept looking at it then I came up with the idea of another wallpaper. The first thing I did was to choose a character. I ended up with Cagalli Yula Athha, because she's my favorite!
The image is a screencap from the ending credits. It's not that clear, but I did my best in vectoring Cagalli. Of course, I did some editing. I decided to lose the clothes and ribbons on her hair.
Next up, I designed the background for her, as you can see in the picture card. Making the notebook was fairly easy, although it looks like scrapbook than a notebook. Anyway, I tried. Plus, I wanted to keep things simple and neat. The heart design and the wings were made from scratch by me. I honestly messed up the wings pretty badly at first. But I got the hang of it.
The background was easy sailing and to complete the wallpaper, I added effects which made it look like that items are inside a glass case.
Well, enjoy the wallpaper everyone!

Bike sharing comes to S.F. - but only briefly
san francisco
San Francisco got a taste of modern bicycle sharing when a truck pulled into Golden Gate Park on Sunday and dropped off seven bikes attached to a unique pay station that was portable, wireless and juiced by solar panels.
For five hours, hundreds of park visitors tested out the Bixi system, which since May has allowed Montreal residents - with the swipe of a credit card or prepaid pass - to unlock a bike from one station and drop it off at another.
"I don't want to give this bike back," said Laura Cleveland, a 50-year-old city resident, as she sat on one of the bikes, which had a thick aluminum frame, three gears, lights, and a small storage basket in front of the handlebars.
If only San Francisco's effort to implement bike sharing was so simple.
Mayor Gavin Newsom has long spoken of bike sharing as a great way to reduce traffic and pollution, and in January he announced a $500,000 pilot program featuring 50 bikes located at five stations on private property. But the plan was criticized as too small to succeed, and it has not moved forward.
Moreover, San Francisco remains barred by a court injunction from working on bike projects because a local critic - who argues that some pro-bicycle efforts harm the environment - challenged and held up the city's comprehensive bicycle plan. The injunction may not be lifted for months.
Other obstacles to bike sharing include startup costs and the threat of vandalism. And while a number of companies offer competing bike-sharing systems, city officials said, advertising company Clear Channel Outdoor has first negotiating rights in San Francisco through its bus-shelter contract.
Still, the mood at Sunday's demonstration in the park was hopeful, with city parks manager Phil Ginsburg showing up to say he wanted to see the parks connected by bike stations.
"It seems like kind of a no-brainer," he said.
Andy Thornley, program director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, said he is sure a system is coming.
"The question now is how soon," he said after taking a ride. "But we need 300 or 400 bicycles to start with to have a real shot. I think the mayor knows - we have to go big."
Several U.S. cities are considering bike sharing and are watching Washington, which has a small but growing 100-bike program run by Clear Channel Outdoor.
Sunday's event was run by the Brandenburger Foundation of Newport Beach (Orange County), which is working to spread Bixi - a mix of the words "bike" and "taxi" - from Montreal, where it was launched by that city's parking authority. Its representatives are on a tour of West Coast cities including Long Beach, San Jose and Portland, Ore.
They said a 1-year subscription to bike sharing in San Francisco might cost $120, with added fees if a bicycle is kept for more than a half hour. A day pass would be about $5. The fees are designed to encourage users to move from station to station, not take a leisurely ride or hold on to the bikes.
In Montreal, the parking authority has announced it is already expanding its program due to popularity, bringing a total of 5,000 bikes to 400 pay stations at a cost of $23 million. But according to reports, bike damage and vandalism has been a problem.
It's not clear how much San Francisco might have to spend to implement Bixi or another system, or how much of the cost could be defrayed by displaying advertising on the bikes or stations. Bixi representatives said the goal is for the programs to eventually become self-sustaining.

Common and Angela Rye are done… Angela confirmed this in a statement saying: "We have and will always be friends. He is an amazing human being and I'm a much better person because he's a part of my life. May we all keep loving and living."
According to Pagesix:
There's no word on what caused the couple to call it quits, but rumors began circulating when Angela and Common didn't attend any events together for the past month.

Late last year there was an interesting conversation on Twitter that revolved around style and fashion with the #OlizaFashion being the hash tag. While this conversation started, I had the task to figure out what separates fashion from style and vice versa. This led to an amazing discovery that Fashion is basically an item or trend that is popular among people, while style is someone's individualistic expression of Fashion. Fashion can be the A-Line dress, or skinny jeans and long line t-shirts. Style can be urban , hippie, preppy or mod.
With that out of the way, I would like to showcase and express what is my sense of style and some of the fashion tips and must-haves for any guy in the form of Flatlays.
I have been told my sense of style is urban and a mix of urban and other styles.
I agree, this is because my closet is full of denim shirts , dashiki shirts , khaki pants and khaki shorts , a mix of classic Nike Sneakers and a good pair of moccasins. I try to wear shorts when i can, but am particularly aware of my skinny legs so i try to avoid them. I am always for that good linen trouser and can never go wrong with a black pair of Converse sneakers or Vans.
My fashion sense is also a mix of everything , I am down for a white t-shirt or a white pair of jeans , not forgetting the skinny and slim fit trousers , that were introduced to us in the new age of fashion , which saw the heavy decline of #saggybaggy
What are some of your favorite items?
Here are some of my favourite items displayed in the following flatlays.

So when I got home to find a a bouqet of the flowers I'm ALLERGIC to I just walked up the stars in the room and found him in bed reading a book, I grab the book and just say "what nice flowers" he says "thx they are for my mom when she comes over" I yell at him for God knows what reason probably because I love flowers and can't get enough of them and that he made plans without me oh and let's not forget HE IS AN IDIOT. He gets up and asks me what's wrong the thing that is wrong was that he never got me flowers and never spoke to me and only his MOM so I just said see yah loser I'm going to get mmy self some flowers and get a new boyfriend cause mine needs a new brain! With that I was gone and he was just standing there motionless oh and I ripped up the flowers 😂

I was 14 years old when i meet this guy from our school, actually his my classmate..i was known from our school that I'm man hater with a stone heart but then when I met this guy my world turns into a new one, a one with a soft heart now...
I became his friend, he always make me smile when I'm sad, doing a funny thing just to gave the happiest day to me..And from that I thought he has also a same feeling to me but then I was wrong Im the only one who assume that we have a same feeling to each other because in reality i was the only one who fall for him and from falling to him break me into pieces....
But because I was a martyr girl I said to myself that its okay at least we are friend and that's enough for now...But for the second time around he broke me again, when I found out that he is courting my best friend my world turns into dark, lonely and sad...
My best friend said that she's better to be girlfriend to my guy friend than me... My best friend and my guy best friend totally lost to me, they became couple or should i say the sweetest couple in our campus...And me, I became invisible to them and from that i became quiet and i don't want any people to go beside me in short I only want to be invisible because from being invisible no one will make u cry and no one will get u hurt.....
From that I promise to myself that i would never ever fall inlove to a boy who do not love me....and i would never ever give my trust to a person who only know how to betray me...
Tags: first girlfriend, broken heart, love, sad
Im 16 and I met my first girlfriend at summer camp. She was 15, had short blonde hair and was always really funny and energetic. During one of the dances I asked her to dance during the song Forever Young only because I had heard an offhand rumor that she liked me. I had no idea what it would become. I loved talking to her because we were both really talkative and she never lost interest in my long stories. Over two weeks of summer camp we really grew to like each other. Only one problem, she lived in DC, I lived in vermont. At first i thought long distance was stupid but after two weeks I would do anything to keep her in my life. That lasted 4 1/2 months, I even flew in for a weekend to see her (i dont know how I convinced my parents to pay for that one). During that trip she told me she loved me which was the happiest moment of my life. We talked for hours every night and even during school. She really was my best friend.
Then December 18, 2016 came along. Everything seemed great until she told me she had been talking to one of her friends about our relationship, I thought "eh whatever", then she just stopped snapchating me (which was strange because she would never ever do that without an explanation). Then I looked at me phone 3 hours later and there it was. The breakup text.
In that moment, every bit of happiness drained out of my life. I felt like a shell of a person. It sounds crazy now but at the time I genuinely thought I was gonna go to college with her and we would get married. I didnt ever want to go back to the god awful world of high school dating and I thought I had found my way out for good.
I still sometimes have nightmares about her with another guy even though shes probably dating a girl now (shes bi). I dont stalk her facebook feed because id rather remain blissfully ignorant. Not sure ill ever meet another girl like her.
Tags: So sad it\'s almost funny, sad break up, don\'t cry while reading this,
When you read this story, I am certain you're going to think I am an idiot, But I promise if you give it a read, it will all tie together.
When I was 15 (he was 14), I thought I met the love of my life. We did everything together. I grew up dating him essentially all of high school. For reference, we are in the same grade. I experience so much of my life, shared everything with him.
You could say that over the course of almost 4 years of dating, we became inseparable. The inside jokes, the traditional dates, the teasing, the flirting, we had something special. But of course, over the last year of dating, the fighting only got worse. We had also been known to have a few huge fights here or there, but in all honesty, fighting is okay. But it came to a point for me that I realized I had simply had enough, I was tired of arguing with him. I was exhausted from telling him that he shouldn't ignore me, or that he should actually want to see me more.
He never was overly affectionate towards me during the last year. It had seemed that we were two ships that could not stop one storm after the next. On our 3.5 year anniversary, he asked to take a break because he had been so tired of me. He cut off all communication with me for days. I was devastated. I couldn't think or sleep. I had never felt more crushed. However, when he came to my doorstep with flowers and an apology, I felt like he had changed.
And he did. He wanted to plan our dates, talk to me more, call me, anything. It was one of the best points of my relationship, those few months. However, it wasn't enough, because to me, something was missing. I didn't love him anymore. I can't express to you what it feels like to wake up one morning, and you see this person you've always loved, but you feel different. I had fallen out of love. When I chose to break up with him, after taking a week of a break to clear my head.
He was devastated. I had hurt him so much, and it wasn't something I could help him with. Because I did that. But I could never force myself to love someone when I did not. Over the next months, we were friends. We did not want to hate each other, or be like every other ex. So we were close friends. He had made me agree that we shouldn't date for the rest of the school year, that way it would be easier on us. So I agreed. I figured, it was the least I could do, right?
Then, I found out he had been dating a girl. The worst part, was it was a girl he spent my entire relationship telling me he hated. So I assumed she was never a threat. The pain I felt/feel is the most intense sadness I could have ever felt. It's comparable to the time he didn't know if he loved me. I didn't eat right or sleep well for almost an entire week. Nothing has hurt me more.
In fact, I am still hurt because of the recency of this, as I type this, I have been tear filled, dry throat, and head throbbing. I think what is sad, was for the first time in a long time, I was starting to feel like I had missed him, and I was going to tell him that week, but then I found out he was dating someone else. The most unfortunate about all this, is I lost not only a boyfriend in this entire process, but now I have lost a friendship. We don't talk anymore. I dearly hope that will change, because he doesn't know the magnitude of how hurt not only I feel, but the rest of his friends, because suddenly, none of us exist. What hurts is I will never stop caring about him, no matter how much I hate him for the moment, I will always care. But now I have never felt more devastated. I want to tell myself I deserve it for breaking up with him, but I wasn't happy dating anymore. Do I deserve this?
Tags: Worst break up ever
I fell in love with my best friend. He was a sweet and kind boy that loved to help people. And he loved me back. I knew he did because he treated me like I was special. He said things that no one who saw you as just a friend would say. 4 months of magical romance that everyone saw but we didn't want to admit was there. Finally one day we told each other how we felt and all our friends were so happy for us. I had never been happier in my life. We loved each other. At first it was cute puppy love, I guess you could say, but when my growing depression finally got ahead of me, we found out how much we truly loved each other. He cared for me unlike anyone I've known. The puppy love became a romance and passion that we had building up inside of us for months. We were completely in love with each other even if we both hated ourselves. We were each other's reasons for living. And I can't tell you how many times we were so close to giving up but saved each other. I'll never forget that day I wanted to kill myself and he told me that he loved me and I meant everything to him. That I changed his life for the better. That summer, 3 months after we first confessed to each other, was depressing because we missed each other dearly. School was the only time we got to see each other. Then one day I got my phone taken away. The only way I could contact him was through text. For 2 weeks I sometimes secretly went in my phone to text him. It was brief but those moments were everything to me. Then... 5 days after our 5 month anniversary, I got my phone back. I texted him happily and he replied. But he was depressed. I asked him why and he refused to tell me. I hadn't talked to him in 3 days at the time so anything could've happened. I finally got him to tell me what was wrong and he said.... "I think I'm gay..." I was in shock. And when he said he liked me as a friend, I wanted to throw my phone and just kill myself. I struggled to stay calm for his sake. If I showed how much it hurt, he would regret telling me even more. I told him I needed to be alone. I was in public, totally unprepared for any tragic news. But slowly as reality sunk in, I couldn't hold back against the tears that threatened to pour. I excused myself to the restroom where I cried so hard I couldn't breathe because I tried to stay quiet. I didn't feel anything but pain and sadness. For the next few weeks, he begged me to move on. He was extremely sad and was angry at himself for breaking my heart. He even said he wish had never said anything at all. But I would've found out one day. He wouldn't love me anymore and I would be able to tell. School started and we were friends who pretended we were fine. No one asked about our relationship. Only one person did but we ignored them. It's funny. A lot of people keep asking us if we are dating. No one asked when we actually were. He isn't the same anymore. He isn't positive anymore. He shuts down when he's sad and only talks to his therapist. He used to talk to me. I dont know what we are at the moment. Sometimes I see my boyfriend again in the way he looks at me. Sometimes I see my best friend. But sometimes I see my ex boyfriend, the broken shell of the person I once knew and loved. I still love him to this day.
If you ever hear about a break up where the boyfriend finds out he's gay and the girlfriend is sad, don't laugh. It sounds humorous, but when it becomes your reality and the thing that tears you apart everyday, you won't be laughing. In these cases, there's little to no chance of getting back together. And it hurts like hell.

After four months of dating on and off me and my boyfriend finally broke up. It turns out he was playing me and ended up falling for me... i forgave him.. we wanted to get back together again but there was too much hurt.. i really gave my all and it sucks because we had a good thing going. three years passed .. feelings were still there . we would see each other occasionally and tention would be there. I actually believed he was the one. Its sad that things didn't work out...

Dated this guy for almost a year without really knowing him at all. He loved cargo shorts and Bruce Springsteen and mountain biking. I don't like any of those things. But I didn't realize how different we were until I told him I wanted to take it to the next level (literally 6 months into the relationship) and he basically rejected me. Then, about a week later, one of my best friends told me that he loved me, and I knew that he would treat me much better than my boyfriend at the time. Plus, I had always had a crush on that friend. I finally decided to break up with my boyfriend and get with my friend a couple weeks later.

So about a year ago I was single and I decided to make a dating profile just for the fun of it. I started casually talking to guys on this online dating app and I came across one and got a good laugh at a joke he made on his profile. Now I usually don't message guys online but his was pretty funny so i decided to message him a response to his joke. We talked a bit. I'm from California born

He explains Timeline on Facebook's blog:
Since the beginning of Facebook, your profile has been the place where you tell your story. People use it to share everything from the small stuff, like their thoughts on an article, to the most important events of their lives, like the photos of their wedding or the birth of their child.
...With timeline, now you have a home for all the great stories you've already shared. They don't just vanish as you add new stuff. If important parts of your story aren't included on your timeline, you can go back to when they happened and add them.
Now, you and your friends will finally be able to tell all the different parts of your story - from the small things you do each day to your biggest moments. What will you create? We can't wait to find out.

With some preparation, holiday entertaining and travel can be less stressful for pets
Photo by Flickr user Plutor
Taking care of pets properly is often more work than people anticipate when they take on the responsibility. This is never more obvious then around the holidays when the mood is chaotic, travel is high and pet sitters are hard to find. The holidays are especially hard for people who have special needs pets (chronic medications, anxiety problems, etc.). Planning ahead for the any trips you are taking can help take some of the stress out of the holidays, whether you have cats, dogs or other animals.
One of the most common holiday pitfalls is the neglected cat. Cats are usually one of the most easy going types of pets. Most cats will do fine with your absence emotionally. However, too many people are tempted to just lay out a huge pile of food when leaving for four days. This is inappropriate for two reasons.
First, if your cats are chow hounds, they will be likely to eat a gluttonous amount of food, which could potentially make them very ill.
The second comes from running out of food. If they eat the food too fast (or a crafty dog eats it), then they could end up going several days without food. A cat that goes without food for more than two to three days is at risk for developing a life-threatening condition called hepatic lipidosis.
This also becomes a problem when using automatic cat feeders because of their propensity to jam or stop working if the power goes out. If you are using an automatic feeder (which is better than a giant food pile), make sure that someone is coming by every one or two days to check that it is working and give the cats a scratch on the head.
It would also be nice to make sure that the litter box gets cleaned out so that they don't develop a litter box aversion. It is amazing how fast people's opinions of their cats changes when they start pooping in inappropriate places.
Most people will make some plan for their dogs when they go out of town. If they are going to be left alone unattended, make sure that the house has been thoroughly doggy-proofed (nothing they could destroy or ingest in easy range, no medications on the counter, no plants in easy reach, etc.). Most dogs would thoroughly appreciate a walk and a little attention from a trusted sitter or friend each day as well.
There are also many doggy day care and boarding options. It is a good idea to have them stay at one of these facilities for a daycare experience or short weekend trip before leaving them for longer times. This way, they will be used to the facility and you will know how they handle it.
Small mammals, birds and reptiles can sometimes be forgotten in the holiday mix, but they shouldn't be. Small mammals need a consistent routine. Making sure that you have someone who can keep their cages cleaned and fill their food and water regularly will help to prevent problems.
Rabbits are particularly sensitive to disruptions and can develop life-threatening GI stasis from stress or missing meals. A rabbit that isn't eating for a day is an emergency. Take the time to make sure you have a plan for these critters and that the person who is helping you has been shown all the steps in your normal care routine. When it comes to birds and reptiles, automatic light timers are a huge help. Make sure that all lights are well secured and plugged into properly grounded outlets that aren't overloaded.
The holidays can be stressful on pets. Having a plan in place will help you avoid some of the pitfalls of travel. Making sure you keep your pets' routine as normal as possible can greatly help to reduce their stress (regular walks and mealtimes, having people they know take care of them).
There are also safe and effective anti-anxiety products that can help to take the edge off. Even if you are hosting this year, having all the new people in the house can be overwhelming for some animals. Calming pheromone products exist for both cats and dogs (Feliway, D.A.P). Products like the ThunderShirt for dogs are also a great idea (works like swaddling a baby and provides warmth at the same time).
The important thing is that you carefully assess your pets needs and make sure you have a plan that meets their needs and reduces their stress and yours.
With a little planning, we can all have a happy holiday!

text: Someone posted a picture a little while back of one of their birds which happened to be a Cinnamon Queen. This spring I purchased what were supposed to be RIR's from my feed store but I know now that they have grown they are not. That picture that was posted looks just like my birds. What exactly are they,,a cross of something or their own breed. I went to Hendersons Chart and none was listed. Thanks everyone.

Bottle Rocket, The Evil Dead, District 9 and Boogie Nights. Four fantastically different movies with one thing in common … before they were feature films, they were all successful shorts. With an eye out for the next big film (or filmmaker), Cut Print Film aims to shine a light on the dark corners of the short film universe. We may not find that diamond in the ruff, but at least we'll have some short-form fun trying.
The Film: Short film or feature, acting can make or break a movie. If you watch enough shorts, you're bound to see some dreadful performances. Too often, short films forgo the luxury of quality acting in service of showcasing style. The sacrifice invariably lessens the impact of the final product. Writer/Director Jeremy David White seems keenly aware of this predicament. With Enhanced, the gifted young director keeps his story concise and sharply focused on a singular character. Allowing his star Timm Sharp to own the moment, White showcases a fine-tuned vision of an eerie new world with the assuredness of veteran filmmaker … and tells a pointedly human story in the process.
The Plot: A stand-up comedian desperately clings to his own humanity as the world around him evolves in an unnerving way.
Why Press Play?
The phrase, "keep it simple stupid" may have been coined by a short-form filmmaker. Probably not. Either way, Jeremy David White takes the words to heart with his technophobic film, Enhanced. Behind arrant, often invasive photography from Phil Klucartis, Enhanced delivers an arresting level of claustrophobic intimacy within every moment. The immediate, yet surreal atmosphere is augmented by Blake Armstrong's strikingly simple, astonishingly effective make-up effect for the "enhanced" population. Presented in a subtly stylistic way, Enhanced hinges entirely on Timm Sharp's performance. Savvy cinephiles will recognize Sharp from nearly two decades of stellar supporting work in film and TV. Given center stage here – all puns intended – Sharp does not disappoint. Gloomy, giddy, tragic and triumphant, Sharp packs a lifetime of emotion into his performance and never plays a false note in projecting the character's obvious inner turmoil. Guiding Sharp through it all is the sure-handed direction of White, whose screenplay walks a tightrope between comedy and drama, capturing the binary essence of humanity with uncommon ease.
Meet The Crew:
Written and Directed by: Jeremy David White Starring: Timm Sharp Cinematography by: Phil Klucartis Special Make-Up Effects: Blake Armstrong
Hope you enjoy Enhanced! With a luminous performance here, Timm Sharp is turning into an actor to watch. Keep an eye out for his starring role in Linas Phillips' upcoming Rainbow Time (2016). Take note of Jeremy David White's name as well. I have a feeling you're going to be hearing a lot out of him moving forward. He'll be taking his particular aesthetic to a larger stage in a segment of the upcoming Robert Boswell short story mashup, The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastard (2016). If you can't wait 'til next year, hop on over to White's Vimeo channel and have a look at his spectacular short, The First Hope (2013). While you're there, feel free to poke around and watch a few of the thousands of short films the kind souls at Vimeo have made available for your viewing pleasure (via desktop or mobile device – SWEET!). You're sure to find something interesting and you may just stumble across cinema's next great filmmaker.

Many motor sports enthusiasts consider classic car racing as one of the favorite sports. After all, it is also one of the most popular events taking place across the entire United States. If you are interested, you can also do so, provided you have a full driving license and your own classic car. These cars are easily available today. You can check out both for new and used models. A wide range of models and options are available in these cars. You can even look into the car auction websites in order to find out the most suitable option.
Classic car racing officially began in the 20th century, and these used to take place in the dangerous backstreets. The demand for these events was also high due to which large numbers of people became intrigued with these vehicles. Professional car racing slowly began to emerge as a popular sport. Thousands of people also watch and follow the professional car racing. Nothing can beat the excitement of watching a classic car racing.
Many classic cars stand behind the other before the race begins. The cars are set off at the wave of the flag. They race around the track and the car that completes the race in the shortest time wins the race. The cars must complete a set number of laps and the races can last from one to two hours. Classic car racing has also inspired large numbers of video games available today.

He said: "I know that my players did everything to play in the England national team. We can judge Emmanuel Petit how he behaved as a player and John Terry behaved as the captain of the national team."

THE UNNATURALS Cover Reveal and PREORDER!
Ladies and gentlemen! (Drumroll, please…)
I present to you the cover of my next release, The Unnaturals, the first book in The Unnaturals Series!
This lovely, amazing cover was designed by the ever-awesome Tony Mauro of Tony Mauro Illustrations!
So what's this book about?
Riley Walker is one of the world's best covert operatives, employed by a top-secret sector of the U.S. government known only as The Agency. Highly skilled and lethal in a fight, Riley is fiercely independent and adamant that she work alone after the mysterious death of her partner in an assignment gone wrong.
All that changes when she's thrust into a new assignment investigating the deaths of twenty-seven Agency operatives. Forced to work with twelve-year Agency veteran Scott Hunter, Riley doesn't get a chance to protest before she and her new partner are passed to a sector of The Agency they never knew existed: The Unnaturals. There, they meet Ashton Miller and Zachariah Lawrence—one the Director of The Unnaturals, the other the group's top field agent—and learn of the existence of creatures out of their wildest dreams: Vampires. Demons. Werewolves. And more. And it's up to them to prevent these creatures from harming humanity and taking over the world.
But everything goes horribly wrong when vampires attack Riley and Scott and capture Zachariah. As the two newest Unnaturals agents race the clock to track down the one weapon capable of killing the powerful vampires, they uncover a web of lies from the unlikeliest of sources in The Agency, one they never saw coming and aren't sure they can survive.
And it gets even better! You can now preorder the ebook for The Unnaturals for only $4.99 in advance of its release on October 18, 2016! So CLICK HERE to preorder your copy today!

After dating breast cancer girl, having someone tell me that they killed their best friend in a car accident on a date, and other assorted dating mishaps I thought I met someone that was pretty normal. In fact I thought she was better than normal because she had an education, not just a little education, but an epic shit ton of education. She had graduated with a law degree from Berkley, instead of practicing law she decided to go back to school and get her doctorate to become a therapist. She was clearly smarter than me, which immediately gave me an inferiority complex. (Red flag 1: … [Read more...]

Bobby Finstock vs. the Automatic Soap Dispenser
(From time to time I am going to publish some of my old favorite posts.) My parents have a lot of gadgets in their home. Personally I am a big fan of many of the gadgets but there is one that I think is either demonically possessed or is just screwing with me, the automatic soap dispenser. In the bathroom there is an automatic soap dispenser that shoots soap out when you put your hand next to the sensor just like you see in some classy bathrooms like airports and truck stops. Normally I would be all for not having to waste the extra energy in pushing down the top of the soap … [Read more...]

Chanel Gold Class Double CC BagCategories:Other Brands
A name that makes your heart melt faster than ice cubes lost in the dessert, the perfect look that makes you more nervous than dating a 'prince on the white horse', it's the Chanel gold Class Double CC Bag. Launched silently like a black shadow during the Cruise 2014 Collection, not even a word mentioned on the Chanel Official Website while this is by far one of the best elegant bag I've ever seen. Simply practical and top notch, if you've already made your decision to purchase the Chanel Wallet on Chain, this bag will shake your world apart.

A chic piece of bag embellished with golden clasp, as you can see, it's very comparable to the WOC Collection, but the Chanel Gold Class Double CC Bag is simply one step ahead. The golden plate with theCC signature attached is simply drop-dead gorgeous. And the black quilted leather is somehow different than what we are used to – you know, like the Classic Flap Bags. It's an unexplainable attraction that I love. Wear it around your shoulder with the golden interwoven chain link.
First let's talk about the sizes, this bag is crafted in three sizes – the large flap, the medium flap and the small flap. The small flap has almost the similar appearance, function and size like the Chanel Wallet on Chain, but it's not from the WOC Collection as far as we know it.

While we were at the Ped's office one of the RNs freaked out about Ant's breathing. She said, "You better get the Dr now because of his breathing." DH and I just chuckled to ourselves and told her it was normal. It has become a story we tell often to people. Many people think he is hiccuping but it is really just him breathing.
As for nursing, it is getting better but we are still supplementing every feeding. I have increased his nursing time but he still takes the same amount of supplement afterwards. At this point I don't want to mess with his feedings because of work. As soon as the summer is here I am going to focus on nursing more and bottle feeding less.
Life for the most part is good. I miss being home with Ant all day. DH has been with him the last two weeks and will send me pics via cell phone. It has been a great bonding experience for the two of them but I know no one can replace me. When I get home he is happy to see me and excited to nurse.
Time to get back to my little man!

'Start with a dark canvas. Add horsepower and soul. Then make it your own,' the Harley-Davidson press release states, 'The Harley-Davidson Dark Custom movement strips a motorcycle to its mechanical essence and the motorcycling experience to its rebellious core – the quest for freedom and self-expression.'
For 2016, Harley-Davidson asserts its Dark Custom leadership with the new Iron 883, Forty-Eight and Harley-Davidson Street motorcycles, all hard-nosed machines that offer an authentic, affordable experience to a new generation of riders.
Harley-Davidson considers the series 'forged, pressed and machined to minimalist perfection, the Iron 883 and Forty-Eight models balance function with style that can stand on its own or spark a fire of custom inspiration'. Dark Custom with an urban gene, the nimble Street 500 and Street 750 models roll into a second season with customer-led updates, ready to master the global cityscape.
"With Dark Custom, we embrace the beauty of the basic motorcycle structure," said Harley-Davidson Styling Director Brad Richards. "It's about the beauty of the nuts and bolts, the steel and rubber and the heart of the machine, which is a Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine. Dark Custom reaches back to our styling roots, but also invites the rider to move forward, to make the Dark Custom motorcycle his or her own with accessories, ingenuity or riding experiences."
The Iron 883 draws inspiration from garage-built bobbers past and present, the Harley design team created the new Iron 883 model to appear chopped and drilled, intentionally a little raw and rough around the edges. Featuring clipped fenders, blacked-out powertrain and exhaust, drag-style handlebars and a solo tuck-and-roll seat cover evoke bare-knuckle street performance. A ribbed air cleaner cover speaks to the stamped-from-steel authenticity of this motorcycle. Speaking of authenticity, bullet-hole details on the belt guard, exhaust shields and front fender brace recall a racer's effort to lighten the bike.
Colors and finishes for the Iron 883 were selected to help hide the grit and grime of riding and living in the urban environment, for riders who don't own, or care to own a garden hose and a driveway.
"It's always been my vision that this bike will look better with some dirt or patina," said Harley-Davidson Senior Stylist Dais Nagao, who led the Iron 883 design project. "It's quick and nimble and encourages the rider to be aggressive. As it's ridden it may get some scuffs, scratches or other character marks. We can't do that at the factory. That's the privilege of the owner, and becomes part of the story of the bike."
The Iron 883 is powered by an 883cc Evolution V-Twin engine tuned to power away from stop lights and deliver satisfying performance. A blacked-out floating front brake rotor complements nine-spoke cast aluminum wheels finished in black with machined highlights that reduce unsprung weight by a combined eight pounds to improve ride comfort and handling.
Ride and handling are further enhanced by new cartridge-style forks and new emulsion rear shock absorbers with progressive-rate springs and a threaded pre-load adjustment collar that makes it easy for the rider to dial in shock performance to match road conditions or passenger weight. A special shock adjustment spanner stows under the seat.
A passenger pillion matching the tuck-and-roll seat upholstery will be offered through Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories.
The 2016 Iron 883 is offered in four color options: Charcoal Satin, Black Denim, or Olive Gold with an eagle-and-shield tank logo, or Hard Candy Custom Gold Flake with a flame detail paired with black fenders.
The 2016 Iron 883 MSRP starts at $8,849.
Harley-Davidson 2016 Iron 883
The new Forty-Eight motorcycle waits at the curb like a broad-chested bulldog guarding its turf. A burly 130mm front tire is suspended by 49mm forks secured in massive forged aluminum triple clamps and an aluminum fork brace. The classic 2.1-gallon peanut fuel tank creates a narrow, athletic waist. Chopped fenders expose the tire rubber. A perfect balance of black, color and chrome gives this bike a bold visual presence.
"The low handlebar and forward foot controls put the Forty-Eight rider in an aggressive posture, so we picked up on that with the styling," said Harley-Davidson Industrial Designer/Stylist Ben McGinley, the lead stylist on the project. "The big front wheel is like a steamroller coming down the street, and we went with the smaller round steel air cleaner and some chrome on the exhaust to draw your eyes to the engine, which looks larger under the peanut tank. I'd describe the theme of this bike as functional muscle."
The fuel tank styling features horizontal stripes, a throw-back to 1970s style that's reappearing today on custom bikes. Those lines are repeated throughout the motorcycle, including in the seat stitching, slotted exhaust shields, rear sprocket and belt guard. New lightweight cast-aluminum wheels feature nine split spokes and a solid black finish with machined highlights. A side-mount license plate and combination stop/tail/turn signals keep the rear fender uncluttered.
The new 49mm forks feature a cartridge design tuned to complement new emulsion rear shock absorbers with progressive-rate springs and a threaded pre-load adjustment collar, a combination that delivers a premium, controlled ride over the roughest urban pavement. A shock adjustment spanner is stashed under the solo seat, which has been formed to support the rider with all-day comfort.
The 2016 Forty-Eight is offered in four solid colors: Vivid Black, Billet Silver, Velocity Red Sunglo and Olive Gold. Hard Candy Custom options include Hard Candy Cancun Blue Flake and Hard Candy Gold Flake.
The 2016 Forty-Eight MSRP starts at $11,199
Harley-Davidson 2016 Forty Eight
The newest motorcycles to the Harley-Davidson Street family in the review of rides is the Street 750 and 500.
Lean, quick and nimble, the Street 750 and 500 models combine a lightweight, easy handling chassis with the responsive performance of the liquid-cooled Revolution X powertrain in a café-inspired Dark Custom motorcycle developed for urban riding. For 2016, both Street models receive new front and rear brake systems with 300mm brake rotors and a powerful, stylized front caliper with 34mm pistons and matching rear caliper for even greater confidence when navigating challenging roads.
Other braking system upgrades include an improved aluminum integrated rear master cylinder with reservoir, aluminum front master cylinder with reduced friction and higher efficiency, and new brake lines. The rear brake pedal has a new position with improved ergonomics, and the new clutch and brake levers look and feel more robust. The horn mount has been tucked behind the radiator and a modified wiring harness has a tidy appearance.
Both 2016 Street models will be offered in Vivid Black, Black Denim and two new colors, Superior Blue and Velocity Red Sunglo.
The 2016 Street 500 MSRP starts at $6,849 with the 750 starting at $7,549.

Best of all, interested riders don't need to wait for the new line-up. The new 2016 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and accessories start rolling into Harley-Davidson dealerships immediately. They can be seen online where riders can also find local authorized Harley-Davidson dealers.

Against the Wall: TV Review
Lifetime's new drama is better than expected.
Unless a cable series comes out of the gate headed for greatness -- Mad Men, Breaking Bad, a whole bunch of efforts on FX -- then the litmus test of whether you should bother hunting it down in the netherlands of the television dial is whether it can produce results that are better than what you'd find at a network.
That's a simplified version of the truth, and yet you can apply it to pretty much every series with some level of acccuracy. Network shows get bigger numbers. But if a cable series is better than people expect, they'll be loyal until the end.
When it comes to procedurals -- a genre most series creators don't bother with if they truly are hunting for greatness -- the networks know how to create these in their sleep. Particularly CBS, the gold standard of network procedurals. Cable channels have found some success with their blue sky offerings -- Burn Notice, White Collar, etc., balanced with the faintest of feminine edge, ala The Closer, Rizzoli & Isles, etc., -- but Lifetime's latest offering, Against the Wall, has the whiff of something more. The pilot, which airs tonight, effortlessly checks off the boxes that need to be checked off if you're going to succeed as a procedural: Cop, lawyer or doctor (in this case, cop), intriguing city (in this case Chicago) and leading character who makes you want to spend the 45 minutes (in this case relative newcomer Rachael Carpani). Oh, and a solid storyline, well told. Check to all of those.
And yet, there are a couple of other elements that could really make Against the Wall stand out. Creator and writer Annie Brunner (Saving Grace, Huff) and executive producer Nancy Miller (Saving Grace) seem to truly get the notion of a woman who doesn't quite fit in as she's expected to and bumps up against the constraints of what people want her to be. That's always good because, no suprise here, that's how men's roles are often written. But Brunner and Miller seem to undertand that a female character clashing against the mold doesn't have to be a radical outcast (though Saving Grace sure explore that), but just a conceit that allows a character to have some gray area in her depth.
Secondly, there's Carpani, who looks to be a breakout star. She's got the looks, of course, but her acting chops keep Against the Wall moving briskly -- tackling drama, comedy, playing well alone or in a sex scene, dropping all traces of her Australian accent and deftly communicating a little something more with her facial mannerisms. Whatever she's got, you pay attention to it enough to realize she's getting the job done with impressive economy. If Carpani isn't immediately discussed in the mix with her more famous peers on the broadcast side, she'll be underestimated.
Lastly, with Carpani out in front, there's a nice little fall back in Kathy Baker and Treat Williams as her parents. The veteran actors lend some gravitas to the situation and have immediate chemistry and believability.
Against the Wall pits Abby Kowalski (Carpani), an ambitious Chicago cop who just made detective, against the competing interest of her three street-cop brothers (Brandon Quinn, Steve Byers and James Thomas) and her fellow cop father, Don (Williams), all of whom look down on Abby's decision to join Internal Affairs. "We take care of our own," her father tells her angrily. He's clearly had an IA issue in his past and doesn't trust the internal watchdogs from turning on their fellow cops. As Sheila, the matriarch, Baker provides some ballast in the turmoil that is unfolding.
What works here is that Brunner has created Abby as someone who has had to prove herself all her life -- the lone girls in a family with three boys and, in adulthood, the one who joins them all on the police force. She's good, rising through the ranks and acing her detective test. But she only takes the Internal Affairs job because it's the only detective opening available. She's thinking about spending two years maximum in that job before moving into the homicide department, where her real interests lie. Obviously the decision doesn't sit well with the Kowalski men, but it also rubs Lina (Marisa Ramirez) her partner in IA, the wrong way. Lina believes that IA, the outcast department, has merit and shouldn't be a rung below a higher goal.
All of that sets up nicely and gives the series something to work with. Against the Wall does suffer from some predicatale pilot-itis, as Abby has at least two too many quirks to be belevable. But it's only the pilot and these things can be worked out. Then again, it's only the pilot and these things can get magnified.
But mostly Against the Wall is a pleasant surprise, with Carpani being a much bigger surprise. If Against the Wall can make its disparate parts work, it will be plenty more intriguing than a number of network procedurals. And in the cable game, that's already a victory.

Thus far, I have resisted the whole social coupon phenomenon. Friends on Facebook bragged about the awesome deals they found on GroupOn or LivingSocial. I, however, remained unimpressed. Just like with coupons from the Sunday newspaper, I knew better than to hop on that bandwagon. I always spent more than I would have with coupons than without. I mean, who can resist $0.50 for Oreos?!?! Yea, yea don't buy it if you don't need it, but it's $0.50 for $4 cookies. The psychology of a good deal is really overpowering.
Well, I decided to try out this coupon thing today. I ride Metro to work, and during morning rush our, the Washington Post provides a free Express newspaper. It's a quick read, and since people don't actually like to speak to other people in this city, it's something productive to do during my 25 minute commute. I noticed the daily ad for Capitol Deals which has three brands: one for merchandise or retail, one for food, and one for travel. I didn't start paying attention to them until last week when Ben and Jerry's stores in the area were running a year supply for $69 (2 pints per month). I had to talk myself out of that deal because I don't eat ice cream like that and I was already watching my waistline grow. That run on the National Mall would have to happen daily, in addition to whatever fitness DVD I did in the morning lol…It's so not worth it!
But Wednesday, I saw a deal I could live with: $25 for painting and wine, or $49 for two people. I've always wanted to try my hand at painting, and $25 did not seem like an unreasonable price to pay when all the supplies are provided. So I invited my cousin and bought the voucher this morning! I think the activity will be a great bonding experience and just plain fun! The worst that happens is I have to use my painting for laundry room art instead of living room art lol. But I'm super excited. We have until February 2013 to redeem the voucher, and each month the establishment posts a calendar with paintings of the month. For those unfamiliar with these painting and wine events, everyone paints the same portrait. As with ice skating, I may turn out to be a better painter than I expected. The last time I painted was with Crayola paints in elementary school. I hope I've improved from a refrigerator painter just by virtue of being older lol. In the event I enjoy myself exceedingly well, then the regular price of $50 per person is not so bad for free art for my office or for home. And who knows, Mama might still like to display her daughter's art *smile*

$2.7 million embezzled from Arizona National Guard
February 28, 2012 3 Comments
While members of the Arizona National Guard were in harm's way, James Eugene Burnes, a retired Army colonel took care of business on the home front. Unfortunately, he put his personal business above the needs of the National Guard. Between May 2003 and August 2011, Burnes embezzled $2.7 million from the Arizona National Guard Family Emergency Fund and the Arizona National Guard Emergency Relief Fund.
Apparently, Burnes had fallen on hard times. Just three years after retiring from the Army on presumably a healthy pension, he began committing fraud in his new role as a resources manager for the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs. From all accounts, he had a gambling habit that needed to be fed. To cover his tracks – as so many perpetrators of fraud do – he created fake financial statements and audit statements.
Here is how he stole the money:
- Withdrew $1.9 million in cash during 675 separate visits to the bank (He visited the bank as often as 20 times a month).
- Wrote 169 checks totaling more than $400,000
- Purchased 32 cashiers checks for more than $332,000
- Authorized electronic transfers of $40,000
Management oversight was apparently lacking and numerous red flags were ignored. In fact, an employee within Burnes organization uncovered the fraud and shared the information with a supervisor. The fraud continued for another five months before the supervisor confronted Burnes and initiated a review of bank records which confirmed the fraud.
I am sure that the Arizona National Guard thought it was appropriate to trust "one of their own" – a retired Army Colonel. If only life were that simple… Burnes may have been an exemplary officer while on active duty, but as I have said before, even good people make mistakes. Burnes will found out soon how much he'll have to pay for his mistake when he is sentenced later this year.
Trust too much, and employees may view it as a sign of weakness. Call me cynical, but if my experience has taught me anything, it is that organizations routinely place far too much trust in their employees. If you ever catch yourself saying that you trust your employees and they would never steal from you, it may already be too late.
