It's My Day
Do modern Western weddings encourage narcissism?. From the large budgets to the phenomenon of self marriage, many people skirt the line between narcissism and individuality.
This Wedding Season, Say Yes to Strangers
This past month we learned about a pair of viral Craigslist ads that some nice young men had (successfully) used to find wedding dates. This was old news to me. In 2008, I was named a bridesmaid against my will, and I prepared to suffer through all the standard requirements that come with the duty. Usually, you simply grin and bear these life necessities, but when the bride vehemently insisted that we all have dates despite the fact that several of us were single, I decided to respond to her myopia with outright insolence, with the support of and in the shared name of my bridal party cohorts. On July 8, 2008, I posted the following ad to Craigslist:
"seeking awful date for awful wedding (w4m)"
i'm a bridesmaid in a terrible wedding. i need a date to ruin it with, preferably one that is either ridiculously unkempt or too hot to be able to enjoy with a straight face. i'll buy you however many shots you might need to make it through this endeavor. you send me 25 words or less on why it should be you and a picture.

Middle of Nowhere director and Sundance favorite Ava DuVernay got one thing wrong in her keynote speech at the Film Independent Forum yesterday: that her address wouldn't be headline-worthy. While it's true that Netflix exec Ted Sarandos stirred the pot the day before with statements that helped his company's bottom line, DuVernay's views might well be more revolutionary to aspiring filmmakers.
In her near-half-hour talk, DuVernay talked at length about a mental shift she underwent that seems simple, yet could have a profound impact on those attempting to break into the industry. Or people merely trying to do the damned thing.
It involves casting off the coat of desperation, and you can hear about it here:

How to Derive the Quadratic Formula
Two Methods:Deriving the FormulaLearning to "Complete the Square"Community Q&A
One of the most important skills an algebra student learns is the quadratic formula, or x =(-b ±√(b2 - 4ac))/2a . With the quadratic formula, solving quadratic equations (equations of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0) becomes a simple matter of substituting a, b, and c from the quadratic equation into the formula. While simply knowing the formula is often enough for many, understanding how it's derived (in other words, where it comes from) it is another thing entirely. In fact, the formula is derived with a useful technique called "completing the square" that has other applications in math as well.
Method 1
Deriving the Formula
1Start with the form of a quadratic equation. All quadratic equations have the form ax2 + bx + c = 0. To begin deriving the quadratic formula, simply write this general equation down on a piece of paper, leaving plenty of room beneath it. Don't substitute any numbers in for a, b, or c — we want to work with the general form of the equation.
- The word "quadratic" refers to the fact that the x term is squared — "quad" comes from the Latin root word for "square."[1] No matter what coefficients are used for a, b, and c, if an equation can be written in the standard binomial form, it's a quadratic equation. The sole exception to this rule is using zero for a — if you do this, since the x2 term isn't preserved, the equation is no longer quadratic.
2Divide both sides by a. To derive the quadratic formula, our goal is to get x by itself on one side of the equals sign. To do this, we'll use the basic "cancelling out" tricks we know from basic algebra to gradually move the rest of the variables in the equation to the other side of the equals sign. Let's start simple by dividing the left side of the equation by our a variable. Write this down underneath your first line.
- When you divide both sides by a, don't forget the distributive property of division, which means that dividing the entire left side of the equation by a is the same as dividing the terms individually.[2]
- This gives us x2 + (b/a)x + c/a = 0. Note that the a that used to be next to the x2 has been canceled out and that the right side of the equation is still zero (zero divided by any nonzero number equals zero.)[3]
3Subtract c/a from both sides. Next, let's eliminate our non-x term (c/a) from the left side of the equation. This is easy — all we need to do is subtract it from both sides.
- Doing this leaves us with x2 + (b/a)x = -c/a. We still have our two x terms on the left, but the right side of our equation is beginning to take shape.
4Add b2/4a2 to both sides. This is where things begin to get a little tricky. We have two different x terms — one with x2 and one with just x — on the left side of the equation. At first glance, it may seem impossible to keep simplifying because algebra rules prevent us from adding variable terms with different exponents.[4] However, a "shortcut" technique called "completing the square" (which we'll soon discuss) lets us get around this.
- To complete the square, add b2/4a2 to both sides. Remember that basic algebra rules let us add almost anything to one side of an equation as long as we also add it to the other, so doing this is perfectly valid. Your equation should now look like this: x2+(b/a)x+b2/4a2 = -c/a + b2/4a2.
- For a more detailed discussion of how completing the square works, see the section below.
5Factor the left side of the equation. Next, to manage the complexity we've just added, let's focus only on the left side of the equation for a single step. The left side of the equation should look like this: x2+(b/a)x+b2/4a2. If we think of "(b/a)" and "b2/4a2" as the simple coefficients "d" and "e", respectively, our equation is now actually in the form x2 + dx + e, which means it can be factored to (x + f)2, where f is 1/2 of d and the square root of e.
- For us, this means that we can factor the left side of our equation, x2+(b/a)x+b2/4a2, to (x + (b/2a))2.
- We know this is true because (x + (b/2a))2 = x2 + 2(b/2a)x + (b/2a)2 = x2+(b/a)x+b2/4a2, our original equation.
- Factoring is a valuable algebra skill that can be quite complex in its own right. For a more thorough explanation of what factoring is and how to apply this skill, see the article linked above.
6Use the common denominator 4a2 for the right side of the equation. Let's take a brief break from the complicated business on the left side of the equation and find a common denominator for the terms on the right. To be able to simplify the fractional terms on the right, they need to have a common denominator.
- This is actually quite easy to get — simply multiply -c/a by 4a/4a to get -4ac/4a2. Now, the terms on the right should be -4ac/4a2 + b2/4a2.
- Notice that these terms both share the denominator 4a2, so we can add them to get (b2 - 4ac)/4a2.
- Keep in mind that we don't have to repeat this multiplication on the other side of the equation. Since multiplying by 4a/4a is really the same as multiplying by one (any nonzero number divided by itself equals one), we're not changing the actual meaning of the equation, so there's no need to compensate on the left side.[5]
7Take the square root of each side. The worst is over! Our equation should now look like this: (x + b/2a)2) = (b2 - 4ac)/4a2). Since we're ultimately trying to get x by itself on one side of the equals sign, our next task is to take the square root of both sides.
- Doing this leaves us with x + b/2a = ±√(b2 - 4ac)/2a. Don't forget the ± sign — negative numbers can also be squared.
8Subtract b/2a from both sides to finish. At this point, x is almost by itself! Now, all you need to do is simply subtract the b/2a term from both sides to have it completely isolated. When done, you should have x = (-b ±√(b2 - 4ac))/2a. Look familiar? Congratulations! You've derived the quadratic formula!
- Let's break this final step down just a little further. Subtracting b/2a from both sides gives us x = ±√(b2 - 4ac)/2a - b/2a. Since both b/2a and √(b2 - 4ac)/2a have the common denominator 2a, we can add them, giving us ±√(b2 - 4ac) - b/2a, or, in easier-to-read terms, (-b ±√(b2 - 4ac))/2a.
Method 2
Learning to "Complete the Square"
1Start with the equation (x + 3)2 = 1. If you were unfamiliar with how the quadratic equation is derived when you started reading, there's a good chance that you're still a little confused about the "completing the square" steps in the derivation above. Don't worry — in this section, we'll dive into this process. Let's start with a fully-factored polynomial equation: (x + 3)2 = 1. In the next few steps, we'll use this simple example equation to understand why we need to "complete the square" when we derive the quadratic.
2Solve for x. Solving (x + 3)2 = 1 for x is relatively simple — just take the square root of both sides, then subtract three from both sides to isolate x. See below for a step-by-step:
- (x + 3)2 = 1
- (x + 3) = √1
- x + 3 = ±1
- x = ±1 - 3
- x = -2, -4
- (x + 3)2 = 1
3Expand the equation. We've solved for x, but we're not done yet. Next, let's "open up" the equation (x + 3)2 = 1 by writing it in long form like this: (x + 3)(x + 3) = 1. Let's expand this one step further by multiplying the terms in parentheses with each other. From the distributive property of multiplication, we know to multiply according to the FOIL method (multiplying the first terms, then the outside terms, then the inside terms, then the last terms.)[6]
- The FOIL multiplication looks like this:
- (x + 3)(x + 3)
- (x × x) + (x × 3) + (3 × x) + (3 × 3)
- x2 + 3x + 3x + 9
- x2 + 6x + 9
- The FOIL multiplication looks like this:
4Get the equation into quadratic form. Now, our equation looks like this: x2 + 6x + 9 = 1. Notice that this is very close to the form of a quadratic equation. To get our equation fully into quadratic form, all we need to do is subtract one from both sides. This gets us x2 + 6x + 8 = 0.
5Recap. Let's review what we now know:
- The equation (x + 3)2 = 1 has two solutions for x: -2 and -4.
- (x + 3)2 = 1 is equal to x2 + 6x + 9 =1, which is equal to x2 + 6x + 8 = 0 (a quadratic equation).
- Thus, the quadratic equation x2 + 6x + 8 = 0 has -2 and -4 as solutions for x. If we check by substituting these answers for x, both equal zero, so we know they're correct for the quadratic form as well.
6Understand the general tactics for "completing the square". As we can see above, it's easy to solve quadratic equations simply by getting them in the form (x + a)2 = b. However, to be able to get a quadratic equation in this convenient factored form, we may have to add or subtract a number to both sides of the equation. In general cases, for quadratic equations of the form x2 + bx + c = 0, c must equal (b/2)2 for the equation to factor to (x + (b/2))2. If it doesn't, we simply add or subtract numbers to each side until it does. This is called completing the square, and it's exactly what we did in the section above to derive the quadratic formula.
- Here are a few more examples of quadratic equations factoring — notice that, in each, the "c" term is equal to the "b" term divided by two, then squared.
- x2 + 10x + 25 = 0 = (x + 5)2
- x2 - 18x + 81 = 0 = (x + -9)2
- x2 + 7x + 12.25 = 0 = (x + 3.5)2
- Here is an example of a quadratic where the "c" term doesn't equal one half of the "b" term squared. Here, we have to add to each side to get it equal — in other words, we have to complete the square.
- x2 + 12x + 29 = 0
- x2 + 12x + 29 + 7 = 0 + 7
- x2 + 12x + 36 = 7
- (x + 6)2 = 7
- Here are a few more examples of quadratic equations factoring — notice that, in each, the "c" term is equal to the "b" term divided by two, then squared.

I read the same info as pp. I drank a cup a day, insonsistently in my first trimester, then started back up with 2 cups a day at the end of my 2nd (I had stopped due to nausea). I recently switched to drinking Traditional Medicinal's Pregnancy Tea 2-3 times a day (this has some raspberry leaf in it), but plan to start doing the straight Raspberry Leaf again as well. I'd read something about combining the two in one drink, so I might try that toward the end. :/

Abbott To Collaborate With Janssen And Pharmacyclics On Development Of Companion Test For Investigational Leukemia Therapy
Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) announced today that it will collaborate with Janssen Biotech, Inc. and Pharmacyclics, Inc. to explore the benefits of Abbott's proprietary FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) technology for use in developing a molecular companion diagnostic test to identify patients with a genetic subtype of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common form of adult leukemia. Under the agreement, Abbott will develop a FISH-based test to identify high-risk CLL patients who have a deletion within a specific chromosome (chromosome 17p (del17p)) and may respond to ibrutinib, an oral, small molecule inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK). Ibrutinib is currently in development by Janssen and Pharmacyclics for several B-cell malignancies, including chronic leukemia and lymphoma. Patients harboring a deletion within chromosome 17p are poor responders to chemoimmunotherapy and have limited treatment options. Having a test that is able to accurately detect the 17p deletion identifies a specific patient population with a high unmet medical need."Like Abbott's other collaborations in the area of companion diagnostics, our goal is to leverage molecular technologies to help ensure that the right medicine is getting to the right person," said John Coulter, vice president, Molecular Diagnostics, Abbott. "Cancer is a complex disease where, historically, therapies have demonstrated only a 25 percent efficacy rate. Companion diagnostic tests can help improve these outcomes by selecting patients that are more likely to respond to specific therapies, reducing time to the most effective treatment and increasing the number of positive outcomes." According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), future cancer therapies will be developed through molecular approaches that can accelerate development of more effective, personalized treatments. Identifying specific genetic characteristics of malignancies is expected to also support development of new treatments that target specific proteins involved in the development and growth of cancer.

A commissioned work for .
Vinyl Scratch Fashion Style Custom.
Made from a Shining Armour base, hand sculpted with super sculpey, painted with high quality acrylics and sealed with mod podge.
I had allot of fun making this Vinyl. I think she is a clear improvement from my first. Her hair is bigger and better, I've pretty much perfected pony baking, and she is made from a much more appropriate base (shining armour custom I could kiss you!!).
I really hope her new owner loves her as much as I do. I will be sad to see her go.
Vinyl will be packed away and sent today .
The hair looks great!
does the sculpy shrink make if at all during the baking process?
I've never had the sculpy shrink . I do use super sculpey though. Maybe there is a difference?
looks WAY better than the one in the nightmare moon set
very nice

Hi all. Been riding since the beginning of November when I finally bought a real bike (Trek 5200 on a clearout sale since its being discontinued for 2007).
I was a pack a day smoker for about 16 years and have cut down significantly to the point where I'll only break down when I'm utterly trashed and have lost all and any semblance of willpower. It's just too bad I don't get drunk more often Aaaaanyway, I started to really pack on the pounds because of it and just decided that I should get off my ass and do something.
During the weekday evenings I usually go for a small loop covering PCH from Warner (at the Jack 'n The Box) up a little past Brookhurst where the Santa Ana River Trail starts up. On weekends I'll usually ride up to the Santa Ana River and take it as far up as I think I can go and then curse myself on the way back when my legs are shot and have to deal with a strong headwind. 3 Weeks ago was the first time I made it to the end, though I swear I almost didn't make it because the headwinds were killing me on the way up.
For now I'm just a newbie flatlander with absolutely no climbing skills, though I'm trying to change that by looking for some new areas with some beginner hills to try out on the weekends. So if you guys see what appears to be a dark, skinny looking Asian dude with a fat belly, scrawny legs and struggling up an overpass (or on the up through an underpass)...yup thats me.
Hello, and welcome Nacy!! I ride PCH a lot, and hope to see you out there soon
Thanks Gretzky! Hope to see you out there as well. My rides down PCH lately have been quite nice, lots of friendly people out there. Yesterday was no exception as nearly EVERYONE gave some kind of acknowledgment.Originally Posted by Gretzky
Hi. my name paul. I am new bf. I ride SGRT and SART,mostly to stay away from traffic and bad drivers.also ride around chino hills and chino dairy preserve of whats left of it.
I look forward meeting you all.

welcome Drew
Name's Joel. Riding -- usually one of two directions from the San Fernando Valley (most of the time I ride from home rather than drive somewhere). Option 1: down to S. Monica to Redondo & back or PV. Option 2: Mulholland Highway to Agoura. I mix up the specifics along the way.
When I'm more pressed for time, I make runs through Griffith Park. Also started doing more organized rides this past year -- Cool Breeze, Ojai Century, Rosarito. Starting to prep for the Solvang Double in March (since it occurs the day before my birthday and I can deny my aging with my first double).
Been riding pretty regularly for almost 20 years, but didn't start the longer rides until about 5 years ago.
If ignorance is bliss, shouldn't you be happy?
Welcome magicant!

Yes, welcome, Joel!!! Solvang double, huh? I almost rode that last year and may do it this year (may being the operative word). I look forward to meeting you tomorrow.

Phoenix, Arizona - Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced today that the manager of an emissions repair shop in Glendale pleaded guilty to Illegally Conducting an Enterprise. Bani Montemayor, 31, admitted to using electronic devices to generate fraudulent results for motor vehicle inspections while working at Emissions Only LLC located at 7225 N. 110th Ave, Suite 9, Glendale, AZ.
An investigation conducted by the Attorney General's Office and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) revealed that Montemayor took payments from undercover investigators posing as consumers to repair vehicles that should not pass the state required emissions test. Instead of performing the appropriate repairs to correct underlying problems, the staff would install an electronic override device to create a false passing result. Undercover investigators confirmed the fraudulent activity was taking place in 2014.
"The defendant violated the trust of law-abiding consumers who were seeking required vehicle repairs," said General Brnovich. "He put his personal gain before the health and safety of our community by bypassing laws that help keep our air clean."
"Participating in the vehicle emissions inspection (VEI) program is one of the most valuable ways Arizona residents can help improve air quality and protect public health. I appreciate the diligence of ADEQ staff and the VEI contractor, Gordon Darby, who supported the AG's investigation and helped bring this case to a successful end," ADEQ Director Henry Darwin said.
On March 19, 2015, Montemayor was sentenced to nine months in jail as a term of supervised probation and ordered to pay $10,000 to the Attorney General's Anti-Racketeering Fund. This case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Carolyn Macias.

Some Deep Thinking
posted 12/9/2011 10:29:39 PM |
what's this?
report abuse
Here I go, getting dangerous again. It seems I have been thinking, and at least one of my three brain cells seems to have gone off the deep end. I never have been able to keep that one under control, so off it went on it's merry way, gathering the tidbits of information gathered over the years, and put them together in what seems to me to be some sort of logical conclusion. Or at least a viable hypothesis.
Mind you, I know this is going to raise a lot of hackles, and some people are going to go ballistic over it all, but oh friggin well. Remember this is a free country, at least up to a point anymore. Now just what, you probably aren't asking yourselves, is this old fart thinking this time. Welllll, settle in for an abnormally long blog. 'Cause I'm going to lay out what my thought processes have lead me to this time.
It seems everything was once energy, in some form or another. This seems to be a constant, and it makes no difference what it is. We are a form of energy, it is our life force. Call it what you will, but without energy, we would not exist. Now as many know, you can change energy, but you can not destroy it. Plants convert sun light into forms of energy usable by other life forms. It is changed, but not destroyed. Plankton and algae convert that same energy source into something that can be used, again, by another life form, but it is never destroyed. Only changed.
Ok, we got that much down now I hope. The part that has clarified for me deals with something many here take on nothing but what someone else has said, and what mankind has been searching for since the first apes became self aware. That is, the meaning of life. And I don't say that with as much humor as may be indicated. But rather, it is put out as a constant question. There have been many attempts in the past to give an answer, but to me, we are meant to exist, and then the body lets go of the energy that is "US'. And it dies. The body dies, but the energy remains. Religion has tried to give answers to what happens once a person crosses from living energy to what ever is next on the list. It has also given people a set of rules to live by, no matter what flavor you put on it. But it has always been man, not some far off god that has put these things in terms the common person could understand. And which the common person followed blindly.
In the past, men have tried to give voice to a god, or multiple gods, depending on the religion, and make sense of the world and the whys of it. Floods, volcanoes, famine, drought, pestilence, all the maladies that plague us. Those are all things that the very nature of this world is going to hit the inhabitants with from time to time, and they will go away eventually. We may have some effect on them by our own actions, but for the most part, no amount of praying or beseeching a higher power does more than give is a warm fuzzy feeling when they do abate. As for the "most part", it has been documented in the past that that people can have some effect on random happenings. Believe or don't, it has been documented. And when a lot of people can channel their thought energy into one thing, the outcome can be different than what randomness would dictate.
Now for the bug in this, since we are all literally wired different, no two of us think the same, nor do we feel the same as the next person about anything. Nature at work again, making us all individuals. Our brains use different pathways, process information, and come to conclusions differently. Some have what we call abnormalities in their processes, some can do more with what they have, but all do things differently.
If you are still with me, hang in there I little longer, I'll get to the end here shortly. If there is an end.
I have been asking what is next, just as most other have all my life, and like most everyone else, been pointed to "god" and the rest of what religion espouses. That never really answered my questions, and no amount of searching did either. So now, I have at least some part of an answer that satisfies me, and fills in some of the blanks. We do have a spirit, and when our body dies, it does leave, ok so far. It is what happens after that point that the contention comes in. Now, lets add a little sci-fi to the mix, and it might help make it clearer to some. The series Star Gate had an interesting answer, we die, but the spirit, if sufficiently advanced, goes on to a higher level of existence. Again, that pesky energy. If not, then we have to come back and learn the lessons needed to move to the next level. It doesn't take education, but understanding of what life is.
Now, lets add something else to really gum up the works. There are those that don't fully understand, and are caught between here and there. We call them ghosts. Then there are those that are caught that have some really nasty personalities, and have learned to harness the energy to do harm, those are demons. And there are some that come back, many times to learn what they haven't, usually we call them children. It is a continual cycle, and until we destroy the earth, which is what gives us our life, mankind will continue it. We do have something to look forward to, tho it may not be the "Heaven" or "Paradise" so many envision.
I know there are many details not mentioned, but I'll let you work on them for yourself. I don't have all the answers, even for me, but I'm working on what works, for me, not you.

well mr sawduster you have turned a rather boring Fri night into an interesting evening .. you did a lot of thinking there and I'm with you all the way .. I know the Spirit leaves the body after that is when the adventure starts... after that we won't have these bodies holding us down ... who knows what we'll be doing.
Dec 9 @ 11:03PM
past life experiences are not just science fiction, but documented, some of them by more than one source. and other "old" religions taught that we live more than once. what i tried to do here was tie together all the pieces i've picked up over the years into one cohesive bundle. and explain how i understand it is all supposed to fit together. i don't believe that one religion has all the answers, or that just one book has them. but each one has a piece of of the whole. you just have to winnow out what really makes sense from the rhetoric and moral teachings.
and not let what you have been taught cloud your findings. remember, the earth was flat at one time, according to a certain religion.
Dec 9 @ 11:31PM
I agree with you .. past life experiences may well be a fact .. but we don't remember them like we do this life experiences .. I have always had a strong pull towards pioneer people in the 1800's and my daughter is drawn to the early 1900's .. things like this just don't happen ..it's a different feeling than you feel about the place you spent your vacation .. it's actually a feeling of comfort like you have been there.
Dec 10 @ 1:32AM
Conservation of energy has nothing to do with conservation of consciousness or self-hood. The energy contained in the body becomes completely disorganized with death. It doesn't 'leave' the body so much as what doesn't stay in it is leeched back into the surrounding environment. Hell, energy leaves the body constantly while we're alive. Is our soul just slowly being ripped to tatters by life?
You pretty much dismiss the 'documented' history of many religions but trust in the 'documented' evidence of people who believe in reincarnation. Of course, neither offers direct proof, so I'm not really certain why you choose one over the other outside of personal preference.
"Remember, the earth was flat at one time, according to a certain religion. " The earth was not flat according to a certain religion. The uneducated espoused that belief in medieval times, some of whom were probably religious and some of whom were probably not, but the scholars of the time, and much, much earlier were laboring under no such false assumption. Some of those scholars were probably religious. I'm guessing some weren't.
I hope this doesn't sound like I'm attacking you, because I'm not. I just don't think this is very well thought out as a theory and you seem to have a historical misconception or two.
Dec 10 @ 1:42AM
I think everyone just goes back into the force that is nature until another plant, animal or mineral comes into being. Humans have just made their theories of this way more complicated than it really is. If you think of everything being connected as part of a whole it is simple. Due to the human ego most will never see it that way though.
Dec 10 @ 9:29AM
Everybody thinks, feels, believes but nobody knows. I'll let it go at that.
Dec 10 @ 2:30PM
Humans were simply prey animals who became more developed to keep from being eaten by the nearest larger animal or starving to death. As they became more developed religion was born to explain the mysteries of nature. They developed a little more and science was born, but it still all comes down to the same thing, survival of a prey animal.
Dec 10 @ 6:35PM
Well, I'm going to address the religious part of your blog because there are questions as to what happens to someone when they pack their bags for their eternal vacation when they descend to a much warmer climate or ascend to a much cooler climate!
I did have somewhat of a long comment but, I figured people would get bored reading it so... suffice it to say that I'm an agnostic with a technical background! That just means that I need to be able to run a test(s) on something for verification purposes for one thing- to do that, involves physical properties! When it comes to religion, I know of no way to prove or disprove of a God(s) for any religion and... neither does anyone else!
That doesn't make me a bad guy just because I can't find out the truth, which, is what an agnostic is looking for and simply can't find- neither can anyone else- no matter what they have been taught growing up about religion, no matter what religion! It seems to me that humans need a sense of direction- I think they get a large part of their direction through religion- something to believe in! I see nothing wrong with that- if that's what they believe in, so be it!
I just said in another blog the other day that, we and everything we see, hear, touch, smell and taste on this planet, came from stars in the form of basic matter, elsewhere in the Universe and I believe we'll all, including us, everything on this planet, the Moon, our solar system etc., will end up right back into matter in a star not yet born! I really believe matter, is basically the next step higher than the energy state it was in before being converted into matter- without energy, I can't see how anything can exist!
Energy to matter, matter to energy, eventually! Happens every day throughout the Universe!
I do have one question about religion though: if, as proponents of religion would have us believe, religion is a belief humans should follow foe a belief system and a sense of direction- then why have millions for centuries, suffered in many different ways and died because of religion? And actually, still are!
I hope you all see my comment in the light of a commenter simply expressing his thoughts on the subject and NOT condemning
, and respect their own personal beliefs! So, I would expect the same in return!
Just my 2¢ worth and then I probably have change coming back!
Dec 10 @ 6:56PM
When my friend, Steve, was gunned down about 20 years ago, I remember being at his funeral, and I remember the pastors words: Steve isn't dead, his energy is still moving". And it made me realize then, that yes, energy is what makes us move, get up, etc. So, when the body stops, what happens to "us"?
I've often wondered about this very same thing myself over the years.
Still haven't come up with any answers. But I have enjoyed reading what others think on this subject. And for that, I'm leaving a kudo.

My take. You are born, you live, and you die, the spirit dies, the concienceness you have fades to black and does not come back. Eternal life is not for man but for mankind. If man follows the golden rule, stops wasting all of the time, money, power, effort etc on destroying each other and the ship of earth we are all on because my god is better than your god and I am better than you, and redirects all that energy for good, then imagine how the world we live in would change...we would go on forever as a species on this beautiful planet that is our one and only home. I am a realist.

Do you get this error panel?
Then Aperture has lost the connection between (some of) the image versions in the book and the original image files. To fix this, you will need to locate the original images.
If Aperture cannot find originals, you should see broken red arrows or yellow warning triangles in the badge overlays, when you enable badges in the Metadata overlays:
Have imported your images as referenced files and stored them outside the Aperture Library? Then connect the disk, where your originals are stored, so that Aperture can access them.
Or have you deleted or moved image files recently, using cleaning applications, like "Clean your Mac"?
If you do not know, where your originals are supposed to be stored, ask Aperture. The "Files > Locate Referenced Files" command should show you, where Aperture is looking for your original files. Select one of the problematic images and use the command Files > Locate Referenced Files".
In the resulting panel you should see a thumbnail in the upper right corner, with the path to the missing image file. For example: The panel below shows me, that the original is stored on my USB stick, and that this USB stick is offline.
What do you see for your missing images?
KateAlex43 Aug 8, 2013 7:37 AM
in response to léonie
I tried this method and I find no missing images.
This is a photo/essay book on family.
Almost all of the images in this book have been scanned. There is also text and scanned handwritten letters.
I have spent months on this project.
I have made many many photo books and have not had this problem. But then again the photos have come from my camera.
This is extremely frustrating as I have no idea how to fix this problem
léonie Aug 8, 2013 7:50 AM
in response to KateAlex43
Aperature tells me there are no referenced files, and cuts it all off. How do I fix this?
KateAlex, what is the exact error message? Is it like the panel in the screenshot I have posted, or a different message?
KateAlex43 Aug 8, 2013 1:31 PM
in response to léonie
Yes the panel is the same as you have shown. I click "show referenced files", the next message is "you have no referenced files".
Thanks leonieDF
léonie Aug 8, 2013 10:43 PM
in response to KateAlex43
Yes the panel is the same as you have shown. I click "show referenced files", the next message is "you have no referenced files".
The "you have no referenced files" alert will be shown, if managed original master files inside your Aperture library cannot be accessed or are missing. This is, what I get, when originals are missing from the Aperture library. Then the "Show Referenced Files" will say "you have no referenced files".
See the yellow triangles on some of my images. Do you see the same warning badge? If not, turn on badge overlays, to see, how many of your images have missing originals:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Understanding Badge Overlays
Aperture 3 User Manual: Displaying Metadata with Your Images
It wll be good to know, if there is a problem with all your images or just a few of them. How many of your images are showing warning badges, when you enable badge overlays?
Where is your Aperture library located? Is it on your internal system drive (for example in the default location in the "Pictures" folder) or do you store it on an external drive?
Try to find out, if your original files are missing, or if they are still there, but Aperture fails to see them.
- To reveal the originals select your Aperture library in the Finder.
- Then ctrl-click or right-click the Aperture libray and select "Show Package Contents". You will see folders organized by year, month, day. Open the folder of the year, month, day when you imported your scans. Are all your missing image files still there, or are they truely missing?
If your images are still there, but Aperture does not see them, copy them to a folder outside Aperture for safekeeping, and the run all of the First aid tools, starting with "repair Permissions", the "repair database". Repair and Rebuild Aperture Library...: Apple Support Communities
Almost all of the images in this book have been scanned. There is also text and scanned handwritten letters.
What is the format of your scans? Are they black-and-white images? Tiffs, jpegs, or some other format?
KateAlex43 Aug 9, 2013 12:31 AM
in response to léonie
Thank you for all this.
I have found no missing managed master files. None of the images have warning yellow triangle badges.
My Aperture library is on my internal system drive (backed up on external hard drive).
I have revealed the library in the Pictures Folder in which there are over 8000 files.
Since I scanned all the old photos over a period of 2 years as I was collecting them, it is impossible to find them by date. Would it be easier to take out the scanned documents & letters, leaving the photos and see what happens, as many of the photos have already been reproduced in an earlier smaller book 5 years ago.
This book is a family history of the descendants of a large German family who immgrated from Kelsterbach to Little Rock, Arkansas in 1832. Now, of course, we are all mixed with mainly Irish, Scots & English. The book has been in process for at least five years, gathering information as it comes in from relatives all over the U.S.
So you may find my frustration at this point.
Thank you for your input. There must be a solution without spending another year doing this!
léonie Aug 9, 2013 4:39 AM
in response to KateAlex43
Have you tried to repair the permissions and the database, as I suggested? With what result?
Repair and Rebuild your Aperture Library
- Close Aperture, if it's open.
- Locate the Aperture library you want to fix, then hold down the Command and Option keys ⌥⌘ while double-clicking the Aperture library.The Aperture Library First Aid dialog appears.
- Run first "Repair Permissions", then "Repair Library".
Can Aperture now find the originals
I have found no missing managed master files. None of the images have warning yellow triangle badges.
Have you really enabled the badge overlays in the Browser?
To be sure that there are no missing files, please make a different test:
Create a Smart Album to show all images with missing originals:
- From Aperture's main menu bar: File > New > Smart Album
- In the "Smart Settings HUD" click "Source: Library"
- Then click "Add Rule" and add a "File Status" rule.
- Set "File Status" to "missing" (or try "Offline")
Does this album turn up any photos?
If not, Select all images in the book album and try to export the images to a folder in the Finder (File > Export > Originals). Can the files be exported?
KateAlex43 Aug 9, 2013 9:09 AM
in response to léonie
Now almost all images in the Book browser have all been eliminated. However they still appear in the layout and in the Project browser.
In the new smart album, there are many images that are not included in the book.
The Project includes 1414 images. The book includes 330 (including stacks).
My best guess is to now start a new book. Could the problem be the text, which I have copied and pasted from a MS Word doc?
I am afraid to Repair the entire library of some 70,000 images!
léonie Aug 9, 2013 9:26 AM
in response to KateAlex43
I am afraid to Repair the entire library of some 70,000 images!
How about creating a separate Aperture library with only your book?
Select only your book and use "File > Export > Book as new Library".
Then you can open the new Library and use the first aid tools on that library.
KateAlex43 Aug 9, 2013 9:38 AM
in response to léonie
Ah ha! Should I export all the images in the project from the browser as only 17 images are showing up in the book? Or export both?
léonie Aug 9, 2013 10:57 AM
in response to KateAlex43
Include all photos that you want to use in the book, so that you could finsish your book in that library, if need be.
KateAlex43 Aug 9, 2013 12:52 PM
in response to léonie
The same problem persists with new library.
léonie Aug 9, 2013 12:55 PM
in response to KateAlex43
And have you tried to repair or rebuild the new exported, smaller library?
KateAlex43 Aug 9, 2013 8:46 PM
in response to léonie
Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I am sorry but nothing worked. I am tired of trying with Apple and will build another book using Shutterfly. All my images successfully uploaded to the Shutterfly site.

There isn't much to this classic ointment, but without question it's a gentle formula that does a formidable job of protecting skin that is dry, cracked, or irritated.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment may be used anywhere on the face, including the lips. It is excellent for severely dry hands and feet. The price and size mentioned in this review refers to the tube. Aquaphor also comes in a larger jar, but this tends to be messier and is unsanitary. This deserves our highest rating due to its value for compromised skin and as an aid for sensitive skin. It is a dermatologist favorite for good reason!

I have extremely dry hands, and they have left my cuticles a mess. I have tried everything, but nothing seemed to help. On a whim, I decided to try the Aquaphor, and I have noticed an immediate improvement! What sets this product above all others is that it it highly moisturizing, sinks into the skin fairly quickly (it is a gel, so it take a little longer than a lotion), but most important, it's non-scented. That makes a huge difference for me. Also, it's great on the lips, so bonus!

Got a new tattoo 7-25-15. Tattoo artist had me use this as part of the after care. The second day of use at work I noticed redness at the edges of tat that covers most of right forearm and my skin was hot to the touch.I thought I had an infection. Got home, washed the tat and surrounding area. Did not apply the Aquaphor (used different moisturizer). Within a couple hours my arm was no longer heated but it took two days for that redness to go away completly. Will never use this stuff again.

WOW it works on burns
By Noe
from undisclosed
I burned my hand last night went to the ER the second degree burn was treated with Aquaphor healing cream No pain, no blisters and able to use the Hand in the morning. I was shocked to see the emergency room doctor treating me with an over the counter cream. I have bought some for my emergency kit. Going to a baby shower tomorrow Aquaphor will be included in the gift. Thank you Eucerin!!!
By kathleen h.
Aquaphor is amazing! I've spilled scalding hot tea on myself twice, and applied this ointment immediately. I only need to rub it in once - it takes away the pain, the skin doesn't even get red, and there is no blistering. A few seconds after I apply it, it's like I was never burned! I've used it for more minor burns, and it healed them quickly too. It's one product that truly does what it claims to do. Please don't ever take it off the market.

best for tattoo aftercare, and dry skin...
By DNA
I use this for tattoo aftercare, having had about 40% of my body tattooed. I have tried a few products over the years. This is wonderful and protects and moisturizes the new tattoo to delay the peeling stage so the ink is protected. I use it for the first 4 days or so then switch to CeraVe cream (tub or tube, depends on the size of the tattoo) for the next 2 or 3 weeks until healing is complete. Also good for dry skin and lips without ink, LOL.

I found this really helpful for both acne and tattoo aftercare. I also read an article that helped me make use of the last little bit of the 14oz tub that I had bought on the recommendation of my tattoo artist.

Used OITMEMT for chemical burn and diaper rash, also dry skin and cuticles. WOW, IMPRESSED. BOTH CONDITIONS WERE VERY PAINFUL. IMPRESSED WITH THE RESULTS, THANKS??
Best for healing AND ACCUTANE LIPS!
By Cynthia T.
I I got word that Aquaphor was a better choice and I found this to be very true. It is the only thing that worked for my lips. Also it has sped up the healing of my skin due to chemical peels (Jessners, TCA) or any other skin injury! It is definetly better than regular old Vaseline because it has more components in it that aids in skin healing!
By Rebekah P.
My hands get very dry very easily from the weather. I'm also a Culinary student and on top of the harsh cleaners we for our equipment, it feels like I wash my hands a hundred times a day. Aquaphor had been the best thing to not only keep my hands from drying out but also saves them when they do get dry and cracked. I can't go without this!
Aquaphor Healing Ointment protects skin to help enhance the natural healing process. Non-irritating and fragrance-free, it is dermatologist recommended for: cracked, dry or chafed skin; and chapped lips and minor cuts and burns; sensitive skin; skin irritations from laser treatments and radiation therapy.
Active: Petrolatum (41%), Other: Mineral Oil, Ceresin, Lanolin Alcohol, Panthenol, Glycerin, Bisabolol
Eucerin At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive and widely distributed; fragrance-free cleansers; some good body washes and body moisturizers; widely available.
Weaknesses: Anti-redness products that added questionable ingredients instead of increasing the anti-inflammatory agents; nothing for acne-prone skin; jar packaging; some standard body lotions that are OK for dry skin but "OK" isn't good enough.
This drugstore staple line claims to be dermatologist-preferred skin care, but any dermatologist who recommends this line in its entirety without reservation needs a crash course in what skin really needs to be protected and look its best.
There are some basic products that a dermatologist would want to consider, but Eucerin falls short in products to address acne. Further, their latest facial skincare products aren't keeping pace with what industry frontrunners are doing in an effort to create elegant, effective products. For example, serums from Olay, Neutrogena, and Aveeno have much more interesting formulations, while moisturizers from many other drugstore lines (including Nivea, which is owned by Eucerin parent company Beiersdorf) include a greater complement of antioxidants and ingredients that mimic the structure and function of healthy skin. Eucerin is making some strides here, though, which is an encouraging sign.
A major pro for this line is that all of the products are fragrance-free. Although that's helpful for all skin types, it certainly isn't compelling enough for dermatologists to green-light this line without cautions about which products to avoid.

Il Merletto Lace School, Venice
Last Updated: 31st Aug 2012

The Il Merletto Lace School is in Venice, Italy, just of St Marks Square.

"I love Lace! The ONLY lace school left in Venice, this is a dying art. Your children might not get the chance to see this unless they are in a museum. And it makes great light relatively cheap but exclusive presents for the special ladies in your life. It's a winner."

by – Clarie Hanney, Tour Manager, Europe

"Lace in Venice is a really good present to buy for your grandparents, or aunt or uncle that you have to buy something for! They have really great tablecloths, serviettes and other lace products – the best thing about lace is that it is a souvenir you can actually use. We do this in the morning when we get to Venice and takes about 20 minutes – one of the people who works there will tell you about the history of lace making, and it really is actually quite interesting!"

The Deal: Royalty Pharma Buys Quest Drug Rights For $485M
The Deal) -- Lab test provider Quest Diagnostics Inc. (DGX - Get Report) has made another deal in its ongoing effort to sell off assets that don't fit its new core business strategy, this time selling royalty rights for the drug ibrutinib to RP Management LLC, which is known as Royalty Pharma. Quest said Thursday that Royalty is paying $485 million cash for the payment stream from ibrutinib, a cancer drug being developed by Pharmacyclics Inc. (PCYC) and Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ - Get Report) biologics unit Janssen. Madison, N.J.-based Quest obtained the royalties for the drug in its purchase of gene-based diagnostics company Celera Corp.Quest bought Celera for $657 million in 2011 to further its growth strategy at the time to become a leader in esoteric and gene-based testing for cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease and neurological disorders. At the time of the sale, Celera CEO Kathy Ordonez said her company's "discovery and validation of new biomarkers exceeded our capacity to commercialize them." Then Quest was hit hard in the interim by lower healthcare utilization and reductions in reimbursement. In May 2012, Quest named a new CEO, Stephen Rusckowski. While contemplating its strategy turnaround, the company also felt the sting of Hurricane Sandy, which cut fourth-quarter 2012 revenue by $21 million. In November, Rusckowski said he was refocusing the company's business on diagnostic information systems to drive shareholder value and restore growth. Quest has been adhering to that strategy and selling off assets that don't dovetail with it. It also has a new senior management team in place. Quest sold HemoCue AB in February for about $300 million, six years after acquiring it to help the company expand globally. HemoCue, which provides hemoglobin, glucose and other testing systems worldwide, brought roughly $120 million less than what Quest paid for it in 2007. Quest sold it to Danaher Corp. unit Radio-meter Medical ApS. In a Thursday conference call with investors, Rusckowski said, "We saw continued revenue softness in the second quarter compared to the prior year." This year, he said "is a building year; we are making good progress executing our five-point strategy and we expect stronger performance in the second half."NEW YORK (

Sparpreis tickets for 2 in Germany
A couple days ago several of you helped me decide that a German Rail Pass might not be the way for us to go. Our route (on different days) is from Amsterdam to Oldenburg, then to Osnabrueck, then to Quedlinburg, then to Marburg, then to Basel. It looks like the Sparpreis tickets are the most economical. I find no advice on how far ahead to make reservations to insure getting the cheap price. How does one know how fast the available Sparpreis tickets on each route are snatched up? If we reserve three months in advance (before we go), we pay extra for online booking, don't we? If we book immediately upon arrival (in September), maybe the cheap tickets will be gone and we will be stuck paying full price. (Our travel will be mid-week except for two Saturdays.)
I understand from the DB website that reservations are required for Sparpreis tickets. Does that mean even for trains that don't normally require reservations? If so, there will be an extra charge won't there? Some trains don't make reservations at all, right? I'm afraid I will overlook a key factor, though I have read this site and the Deutsche Bahn site.
You are all so helpful!!

My tribute for Steve Jobs
I can tell this (as a Steven Jobs fan)"It is amazing"...
Lol great one xD
this seriously deserves a daily deviation. OMGGG its so amazing!
true that. lol
The logo on the left was actually the originally proposed design but it looked too much like a cherry so Jobs insisted on having the bite to emphasize it was an apple. Funny fact... Great concept!
/le cries
I can't get over it
I can't get over it
Thank you. To both Steve, and crossatto.
Like it
I am commenting on this through my iMac whilst listening to my iPod, thank you steve. he was a true inovator RIP
If you had chosen Helvetica for your work, would have been better.
Great idea.
Great idea.
Good idea... RIP Steve

I am 5dpo/iui and this afternoon I have had some crazy cramping. Anyone experience what implantation cramping feels like? I can read about it on "dr. google", but I would love to hear personal experiences.
UPDATE: BFN and Spotting (12/17/12)Implantation Cramping
I keep getting this pinching feeling...gosh I pray this is it, because if the meds are doing this to me this bad I am going to lose it!
lol Nicki, I haven't been there yet, heck I haven't been to the movies in forever! lol
I hear it is awesome though and not too expensive.
We live about 10 mins from there!

We take the kids too - very kid friendly since you can get dinner etc. right there. The service is great and the food is good too!

Good to know, unfortunately, we always have to bring ds' food with us, because of his food allergies, but we're use to it and no one ever has a problem. I just tell them he has allergies and they are always like oh, no problem!

Hi everyone...I had mild cramping yesterday and this dull sensation going on today. I am 12 dpo with AF due Friday. It feels very much like the feeling I have felt before/during O. My bbs are also not sore which is strange because they normally hurt even when the wind blows on them about this time. Does this sound promising or does it sound like my cycle might have gone haywire and I really am just O?
Sorry, little busy here this morning, but thank you for thinking of me...
as the test reported "not pregnant" I just keep crying, but I am trying to stay strong and hope it is just still early. I am 12 dpo today. If it makes it any better, I know I oed in the late afternoon, so technically it isn't 12 dpo until this afternoon! lol...I can be optimistic!
