BOOK REVIEW - A Clash of Kings - Part 2 - A Song of Fire and Ice
Pooooof....Where do I begin!!
Took me forever to finish the book...its a heavy tome..to say the least...900 pages long! Think before you begin on this journey. It will suck you right in. And before you know it, you are down 200-300 pages, with no way to go but forward.
Having said that, the book is BRILLIANT ! It literally is a CLASH OF KINGS, a land with 4 kings, each doing their damndest best to get to the throne. I confess that I have seen the series before starting with the books. So I was fully aware of what happens at the end. However, that does not, in any way, taint the experience of the book.
It is gripping, heart-breaking and jaw-dropping brilliant for the most part. The stories narrated from the purview of the characters is wonderful. As a friend rightly pointed out, there is a lot of attention given to pointless characters (Theon Greyjoy and Ser Davos being some). Although I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be some point to those stories as well. There always is a point.
Personally, I felt the book could easily have been cut short. But I understand GRR's need to state elaborately all that he does. The book has a lot of elements that have been skipped in the series (obviously!). One must note the beauty with which Arya's story is told. It is simply fantastic.
The plot in this book is not as scintillating as the 1st part. Or may be I feel so because I have already seen the series and knew forehand what was to come ahead. There is no "OMG-WHAT-JUST-HAPPENED" kind of moment in this book. But the build up to the end is gripping.
As with every series, you grow with the characters you read about. So here I am, hating Joffrey even more than I thought possible, damning Cersei for being the woman that she is, loving Tyrion more and more with each passing day, cursing Sansa for being so stupid and feeling so sorry for the Starks. I could go on and on.
So, as people who have read the 1st installment would agree with me, WE ARE HOOKED. We are on board this journey. Not knowing how and where it is going to take us. There is a certain magic in these books. Be it the author's writing. Or the beauty in the characters. But there is beauty.
My reasons for reading - 1)TYRION - his quotes, his story, his wit, his humour. I am completely enamored by him.
2) ARYA, BRAN and JON - just to find out where their stories lead. The concept of the "children of the forest" is fascinating.
Hop on people, it sure is an exciting and thrilling road ahead.
PS: Part 1 review...coming shortly..
Take a break…seek…discover..
A friend recently returned from a trip to Leh, Ladakh and Manali. I meet him in the office canteen for breakfast. I was completely awestruck. The guy sitting in front of me was there, but seemed like his mind was elsewhere. He went on to answer the barrage of questions from all of us about the trip, struggling, to find words or anything else that would do justice to the journey he had just undertaken. He seemed so out of place. I even joked to him saying you looking at chairs, tables and computers, but in your head they all still look like mountains, snow, lakes, streams and more.
This encounter got me thinking. How does one feel after returning from a journey? How does one grapple with reality and routine after one experiences so much novelty and adventure? How does one coax our minds to get on with our seemingly mundane existence? Everything must seem boring. Nothing new. Been there. Done that. I guess for the initial few days, we still live in the lands that we have left behind. Then we slowly start to assemble them into memories and stash it away in our brains, until eternity. The stash, we conveniently retrieve, whenever we need a respite from the daily workings of life and the mind. A stash, which instantly does 2 things – 1) brings a smile upon our faces and 2) takes us back to that place, that time.
Pictures can mean a thousand words. And they do just that. Some choose to capture moments of their journeys in their minds; some choose to do it on film. These are the most wonderful memoirs of a trip and it is no wonder that they are the most common ways to catalog a journey. Each of us have heaps of such stashes. Our perfect medicine for happiness.
The rigors of daily life get to us, sooner or later. Especially in the times that we live in, we all are so bogged down with work, stress, pressure, relationships, that we all nurse the desire in us, to leave it all behind and take off. Take a break. Find some peace and solitude. No one to bother us. No one to question us. No one seeking a share of our time. What you decide to do with "your time" is "your choice". That is the pleasure in travel. And this is all that it takes to make everything seem beautiful. Suddenly, life doesn't seem that bad. It uplifts us.
We all leave a part of ourselves behind when we travel. And we can retrieve those parts only when we visit that place again. These "breaks" do not have to be very long. They can be as short as a long drive. For me, just thinking about those places suffices to release the onslaught of memories. But taking that break is necessary. Rejuvenation of the mind has become necessary to function normally.
They say travel inspires one to introspect, delve deeper into the self. Travel inspires revelations. May be travel unravels some hidden facets to our own selves. Or travel just sets oneself free. I am sure at this point; a lot of us are nodding our heads. I have not yet experienced freedom in any better form than when I am in a new place, new surroundings, new people, new food, new everything.
I may or may not have answered the questions that serve as the premise of this article. The answers are still being sought. But in the time it has taken me to write this, my mind has wandered from where I started off to now thinking about all the places I have been to and what they mean to me! And may be it does that to you as well. That's the beauty of travel.
Let the wanderlust kick in.
Furious Loneliness.. a thought..
I am suffering from what some would call a "reader's block". Some of the books I have read recently were so intense that I somehow cannot seem to immerse myself into books now-a-days. So rather than read for the sake of reading, I have decided to take a sabbatical from reading. Let myself soak-in all the thoughts and learning from the previous few books.
I have already put forth my thoughts on this wonderful book I read called "Night Train to Lisbon". Here, I present an extract from the book that I absolutely love. It speaks of something we all experience. Something we all fear; some a little more than other. "The fear of loneliness". This is how it goes -
"Is it so that everything we do is done out of the fear of loneliness? Is that why we renounce all the things that we will regret at the end of our life? Is that why we so seldom speak what we think? Why else do we hold on to all those broken marriages, false friendships, boring birthday parties?
What would happen if we refused all that, put an end to all of that skulking blackmail and stood on our own? If we let our enslaved wishes and the fury at our enslavement rise high as a fountain? For the feared loneliness - what does it really consist of? Of the silence of absent reproaches? Of not needing to creep through the minefield of marital lies and friendly half-truths while holding our breath? Of the freedom to not have anybody across from us at meals? Of the fullness of time that yawns when the barrage of appointments falls silent.
Aren't those wonderful things? A heavenly situation? So why the fear of it? Is it ultimately a fear that exists only because we haven't thought through its object? A fear that we have been talked into by thoughtless parents, teachers or priests? And why are we so sure the others wouldn't envy us if they saw how great our freedom has become? And they didn't seek our company as a result?"
That's that. Think.

Reviews for Pumpkin Spice Cookies
"Tasted a bit bland"
"This is the PERFECT brunch cookie! It is super moist and 'muffin top' like. Because I used a spice cake mix didn't add spice. But did add 1/2 cup of walnuts. With or without icing very good. This is a great recipe to have a little fun with- think of adding nuts, raisins, coconut... whatever you like. Also, uniced makes a great cookie to take to brunch potluck. Transports easily and the recipe makes a lot!!"
"These are easy and diabetic friendly. Lovely texture, though they need about 3-4 more minutes baking, unless you like them doughy in center. I leave off the frosting and my husband likes it on! I'm diabetic, so do without. We have these with our nightly pot of tea."
"Easy to make, I love the texture of the cookies!"
"I used old fashioned oatmeal and allspice instead of pumpkin pie spice. Next time I will add raisins. Excellent recipe and makes just the right amount when using an ice cream scoop."

Super excited!
A little over a week ago I posed a question here about doing an exchange of my LX5 and ZS19 for a FZ200. I got lots of good advice and one poster mentioned keeping the LX5 and getting a used FZ150. Well, that's what I did and Fedex just dropped it off!! I am now charging the battery and cannot wait to try it out!!
Thanks to those who posted on my original question and helped me figure this out. Any good suggestions for a camera bag for the FZ150 and handy accessories would be greatly appreciated!

Texans Vs. Oilers
I am just curious as to who the people of houston prefer. When the oilers left Houston I was young and just getting into football. There departure left me feeling betrade. After that I had no choice but to go for the Cowboys. When They announced that houston was recieving a new team I immediatly started supporting them, even before they decided on a name. i have not looked back since, Infact now I hate the cowboys. I feel like the texans are the houston team for my generation. So it is obvious which one i prefer. And now that the team is on the rise I couldnt be happier that the Texans are the team from houston and that the Oilers are out of town. Im just wondering what other peoples opinions are on the subject. Esp. the older generation that had more of a history with "love ya blue" teams.
I feel similar to the topic creater except i dont hate the cowboys(dont really care for them though either). I personally love the colors and logos alot better. (never liked the oil rig with light blue and red?...sorry).
I am glad the oilers got a new franchise team etc. cause now we've got a cooler franchise, and I don't hate the Titans, I just hate all the pointless bickering between opposing fans.
1/6/11 - 2011 Draft 1. Quinn 2. McDaniels 3. Ellis
I loved the Oilers so much, I am Earl Campbell's love child. But after the Oilers left, I ended up rooting for the Cowboys b/c it was the only Texas team around. I now have a love/hate relationship with the Texans b/c its taking way too long through the excuses and politics for the Texans to get their act together. I told myself to forgive and forget so I'm going to root again through the first half of the season.....but if they start acting like typical players too busy counting their money on field.(Not having their heads in the game) I will come back to this forum and start bashing them like 2 seasons ago..... I should have been banned back in those DC years.

5Cherry/ILB Tuerk C 6Garrett/WR
I still get a lump in my throat when i think about how the Oilers left town. I've always been an Oiler Fan and always will. Not that I dont like the Texans, but the Oilers will always be #1 for me. When we got the Texans, i was relieved as hell, hated acting like i was OK with them leaving and being the Titans. Piss on them and piss on the cowboys!!
Go Texans!
I loved the Oilers. I went to both Luv you Blue peprallies. When the Oilers left, I quit the NFL. The difference is that back then, the Oilers were a bunch of overachievers and you loved them for the efforts, but you hated Bud. Now with our ownership and front office, you have to love the organization. Anyone who doesn't, should live elswhere.
I am trying to instill some of those same memories of my childhood watching the oilers, in my son with the Texans. I am taking him to a game this season, and I hope he really gets what it's all about and can build his own memories of the time we spend together watching the greatest game on this planet. That was such an important part of my life and I hope it rubs off on him.
I still have memories of watching the Oilers with my father and going to games with him and some of my cousins. I was able to take him to a preseason Texans a few years back and I could see that nostalgia in his eyes. I took him to training camp last year too and he loved it so I'm gonna get some tix for him this tear too. I think he's still an Oiler at heart. Me, I'm sure the Texans will become what the Oilers were for him but I'll never forget what the Oilers were to my childhood. And it may sound dumb but if the Dome was ever torn down I think I'd shed a tear ot two.
Proud adoptee of GM Rick Smith and Toro for the 2008 season!
I loved the Oilers but hated Bud Adams. He wanted a new stadium and we wanted a Superbowl. Niether of us got what we wanted so we parted ways. If the Oilers had won a Superbowl, they would have gotten a new stadium. To keep it in perspective though, the cowgirls stadium is about the same age as the Astrodome and they are just now getting a new one. Go figure.
Anyway, the Luv Ya Blue days were awesome! Earl Campbell is still my all time football hero.The only reason we never made the Superbowl was because the Steelers were dominant and we could never get past them. I became a Steeler fan after the Oilers left because I always thought of them as our big brother that always beat up on us. Lots of respect for the Steel Curtain.
Later years with Warren Moon and Co. were up and down for me. We had so much potential but could never quite make it. Remember the playoff game vs the Jills? I lost a case of beer and had to burn my Oilers jersey in my Buffalo friends fireplace because of that game. Not cool. Anyway, I was sad to see them go but glad Bud was gone. He sucks.
I love the Texans as much as I did the Oilers who are just a fond memory now. The Texans are great all the way from the top on down. We have a dedicated owner, great coaches/Gm and a host of increasing talent. I can see the Texans doing something the Oilers never could do...win a Superbowl. Also I hope Bud Adams lives long enough to see us dominate his tacks season after season. GO TEXANS!
It wasn't lucky, it was ugly. And playing with heart is the only way to win the ugly ones. It was a good win. - HydrOshocK

Water Management District officials had originally told the school district it could use the land for a new school.
But now the water district wants the property back, claiming the school district failed to get approval from the state Department of Education.
School officials say they don't need approval, and this is really pay-back for the County Commission's lawsuit against Water Management over 10 controversial water wells in that general area.
Northwest Florida Water Management District officials donated this 96 acre piece of land along Duma Jack Road to the Washington County School District several years ago, giving the district 25 years to build a new school. But now they want it back.
On July 28th, the Water Management District sent this letter to the Washington County Commission stating the Commission failed to get Department of Education approval for the plan.
"The Board of County Commissioners was not involved at any point in time with this transaction between Northwest Florida Water Management and the Washington County School District. We really don't understand exactly why this letter was sent to the Board of County Commissioners and copied to me."
Washington County School Superintendent Dr. Sandra Cook wrote the Water Management District last week, including DOE documentation explaining there's no need for state approval.
She also says the school district has been paying maintenance fees on the property and has submitted plans to DOE.
But both Cook and County Commissioner Bill Howell believe there's more to this change of heart.
They believe Water Management District officials are trying to punish the County Commission for challenging a plan to build 10 emergency water wells for Bay County, just below the Washington County line.
The Commission has joined a lawsuit, claiming the wells will threaten the lakes and water supply in south Washington County.
"Absolutely nothing to do with the School Board, totally retaliatory it sounds like to me. I see no reason why the Water Management District would be doing this other than it has something to do with the lawsuit that Washington County has against Northwest Florida Water Management District concerning the water wells."
Cook says she refuses to take this without a fight.
"They're not taking things away from me as a Superintendent, they're taking a piece of property that will impact our students in the future."
"We're certainly not going to stand by and let this happen."
The Executive Director of the Northwest Florida Water Management refused to comment on the issue saying he had not seen Dr. Cook's response.

In an effort to understand the nature of such apparent sympathy, Jules Masserman (1963) investigated how macaques responded to other monkey's suffering in a laboratory environment. How would they behave if they knew that securing food would give an electric shock to another monkey? Masserman's monkeys often prolonged their hunger rather than administer a painful stimulus. One monkey refrained from taking food for twelve days. Responses showed several patterns. Self-starvation was more likely in monkeys that had themselves experienced electroshock as a subject. Sacrificial behavior was not biased towards members of higher dominance rank, but was slightly stronger for cagemates (although not statistically significant). Visual contact, even without auditory cues, seemed sufficient to induce the response. The monkeys' behavior seemed to reflect an understanding of another's pain, as well as strong aversity to causing such suffering. (Research ethics no longer allow such experiments.)
In 2008 Frans de Waal performed a related study on capuchin monkeys, involving food rewards rather than painful stimuli. The capuchins were presented with two options: one selfish and one that provided food to themselves and also to a nearby monkey. The monkeys chose the prosocial option when the other monkey was visible and familiar, and so long as the other monkey did not receive a larger portion of food (de Waal, Leimgruber & Greenberg, 2008).

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Where do you even start with a site like Twistys? They've been around forever, focus on high-quality content, offer a ton to see, and do a lot right overall. They're primarily a hot babe site, but have expanded in recent years to include hardcore, lesbians, and more. Still, the focus is always on high-quality content and high-quality women here, as you can see in their tour. The numbers are astounding here. They boast over a million photos, over 2,000 models, and almost 3,000 videos currently. Granted, I don't think all of this is exclusive content, but I think lately that a good majority of it is, and you can't complain there. Membership is $25 a month, unless of course you'd rather join through our link for just $20 a month, which is a nice little discount.
Multiple daily updates.
Each day, they seem to add three new photo sets, and 2-3 new videos as well. That's seven days a week, 365 days a year, which is no doubt where all the content came from.
Quality is great.
Pictures are pretty large, and the new HD videos look very nice. The lighting is always great, the colors are always done well, and things look just plain sharp all of the time. They find the best content providers out there to do business with.
Good navigation options.
There are lots of choices in how to get around. They have the basics like a separate photo and video section, plus a model's index. You can also use their advanced search, which is pretty nice, or check out the most popular sets, or most popular models. You can also see things in update order, and what's coming soon on top of that.
Other Good Stuff:
Design is a bit plain.
The look and feel of the site has always been a sticking point for me. The design is simple, and I'm sure that's to keep the load time quick and to keep the site clutter-free. However, it just lacks a little personality to me, and all the text just feels a little dumbed down overall.
Some non-exclusive content.
Unfortunately, exclusive content hasn't always been as important as it is today. A lot of the early material here is non-exclusive, and even today they have to label which is which. There's lots of exclusive content available, but lots of non-exclusive content, too.
No streaming video offered.
For some crazy odd reason, there are no streaming videos here. You can download in three formats, but as far as a streaming player, there's nothing. Hopefully they jump on that bandwagon soon, as it's becoming increasingly popular.
Minor Negatives:
A very, very strong site with great options and quality.
Though I list a lot of complaints below, it's only because we're seeking perfection here. They are mostly minor, as long as the content looks interesting to you. From there, things are done very well overall here at Twistys. The quality can be awesome, they update daily with several sets, there's a ton to see, and there are quite a few nice extras to help you out, too. Add in the network content, discount price, and ever-growing collection, and Twistys is a very solid site that could teach a lot of other sites how to do things right.
About the Content:
A large collection of models posing, playing, and looking great with recent additions of hardcore scenes as well that are getting quite large.

Trumbull County officials hope a $60,000 Local Government Innovation Fund grant will be approved to help the commissioners and engineer's office find ways to share equipment and services.
If the grant is approved, a consultant would put together a study, which officials would then rely on to make changes. The commissioners and county engineer's office applied for the grant last week.
One good opportunity is sharing vehicle maintenance facilities and personnel, said Don Barzak, director of governmental affairs for the Trumbull County Engineer's office.
Commissioners have a vehicle-maintenance facility on Panther Avenue near downtown; the engineer's office does vehicle maintenance at its North River Road facility.
Another is the Vac Jet truck that the engineer's office and sanitary engineer's office both have, Barzak said. The truck, which costs about $350,000, hooks up to the catch basin in sewers and allows debris to be vacuumed out.
Barzak said it's likely the two departments could share one truck.
There are times when the county engineer's office paves a road, but another agency comes along not long after and makes a cut in the road to fix a utility problem. A study might suggest ways that the agencies can work together more efficiently to avoid this, Barzak added.
If approved, the money for the study would come from the Ohio Department of Development Services.
"I think they will come up with some ideas worth implementing," said Paul Heltzel, county commissioner.
The county engineer's office was successful in getting a 0 percent loan earlier from the Local Government Innovation Fund to build a joint storage facility for road salt.
The facility, which will be built in the spring, will be used by the engineer's office and several nearby townships.
More than a dozen townships in Trumbull County already are saving money by buying their salt in common with the county engineer's office, Barzak said.
".. Trumbull officials want grant to share equipment, services .."
No soup for you!
No, we are NOT going to GIVE YOU any more of our hard earned money.
NO you do not deserve a $60,000 GRANT!
If you cannot figure out how to run the County Govenment efficiently, which by-the-way is YOUR JOB, then you certainly do not deserve another $60,000 to pay someone else to tell you how to do your job!
All I ever hear from Government Officials is ... "Give Me! Give Me! Give Me!"
I say, "NO, you have confiscated enough money from US!"
We, the tax payers, cannot afford to take another PAY CUT so that you can waste more of our money.
Why do you think YOU deserve MORE money and the TAX payer deserves LESS money?
Every dollar you spend (waste) must come from a hard working TAX PAYER!

The last few weeks have been a blur since the start of the academic semester/year. We have made it through several receptions, and finally I am feeling in to a groove. However, I have found I'm procrastinating on some of my school work (mainly reading). I think it's because we have our oldest home from school and we are able to get some things done around the house without having a two year old helping.
So, this is house Saturday played out:
1. took dog to vet
2. monthly shopping
3. cleaned out bran's room…which led to calling a trash man to take some moldy stuff (including our old carpet)
4. seven or eight loads of laundry…and we still have 2 days left in the weekend
5. finishing the paint on the quarter round
6. using the mower and weed eater this morning
By the end of the weekend I hope to have the deck pressure washed too! But today, we are headed to a corn maze for some much needed down time as a family! I hope you're enjoying your 3 day weekend!

Mike Daisey is a monologist with a bigger than life stage presence. You have seen him many times at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company with such solo masterpieces as How Theater Failed America, The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, The Last Cargo Cult and If You See Something Say Something. Other works include Monopoly, Great Men of Genius, Invincible Summer, and Tongues Will Wag. He recently workshopped The Orient Express at Woolly Mammoth and The Spoleto Festival, and this Sunday evening will premiere his latest monologue called American Utopias at Woolly Mammoth. The proceeds will go to benefit their intern program. The full production of the show can be seen at Woolly Mammoth beginning March 19th.
I have to say Mike Daisey's job is not an easy one. You try going out onstage with nothing but a table, a glass of water and your notes, and try talking to your audience for two hours. Mike Daisey creates wonderful characters and always picks interesting topics. Weather it's Steve Jobs or homeland security, his work is always well performed and always leaves you thinking. That is the sign of a good writer. Mike Daisey, a master monologist and a very gracious guy.
Where do you get the ideas for your monologues?
I pursue my obsessions, the things I find myself thinking about constantly, and look for ones that are in collision with forces in our society. I'm especially interested in ones that crack open the dominant paradigm—when it opens a door that way, it has the potential to actually provide a transformative moment, which is the kind of catharsis I'm interested in within the the theater.
How did you go from being an actor doing regular plays to becoming a monologist?
I trained in the traditional theater, and moved from northern Maine out to Seattle after college, where I did strange plays in small garage theaters. It was a great place to find yourself as a young artist—lots of fascinating theater happening, and an opportunity to be in the thick of it all. Over time I wanted to find a new form—a form that could live in the air as it was performed, that had no script but had finesse and structure, that was unique every time it was happening with the people in the room. I performed the first monologue fifteen years ago, and from the very first night it was clear to me I had found something that called to me.
Are there any topics that you feel are taboo when creating a monologue?
No. We're all human—I know that better than some—and so you can often feel there are things that can't possibly be spoken of. It's important to probe those forbidden places to determine why something is off the table, as often it's precisely what you need to say.
Can you please tell us a little bit about your latest piece, American Utopias?
It's a monologue about how we come together to create civic spaces in which we dream—and it talks about that utopian impulse by examining the nostalgic theme parks of Disney World, the anarchic festival of Burning Man, and the birth of the Occupy movement in Zuccotti Park. It looks at these with an anthopological lens, and most importantly I hope it will be deeply, sincerely hilarious.
What do you like the most about workshopping and performing your monologues at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company?
The room is fantastic for the monologues, and Woolly has done a great job giving audience members looking for cutting-edge, living work that speaks to our times. We always get great audiences unafraid to think and to feel in the room, and that's an incredible blessing in the theater.

Love it. Check out my new carry weapon. Bring it on Home Boy.
A classic. Of course, you start with forehead or chest, not knee.
If this doesn't work it's an AK pistol. Get yourself one, they are fun and you can hide it easily.
In the meantime, Vlad the Impaler quietly but effectively "colonises" the rest of what used to be called Europe.
Welcome to the New World Order. You are NOT part of it!
Bullock CZ_92 a real good choice.
AWD, your story is preposterous and unlikely to happen. Where in the world would a population that far outnumbers the government thugs allow its government to do this to any of its citizens? Unless they did this to a subgroup which they blamed for all the country's ills.
Hispanics will do if the government accuses them of being in the country illegally, they have made off with trillions of dollars of TARP and QE money. They work for practically nothing at Walmarts and thus enable American citizens to pork out on cheap Cheetos and cheese dip. They take good paying jobs picking lettuce, peeling shrimp and cleaning hotel rooms, jobs real Americans would take in a heartbeat if it weren't that welfare pays multiple times what those jobs pay.
The government is already imprisoning this group and deporting at a record pace. No doubt the economic prosperity you promise follows these action is just around the corner. If that doesn't happen, the government could put these prisoners to work to pay off the federal debt at ten cents and hour and if they drop dead in prison, the government will save on deportation costs.
You old fuckers just need to die and get off the planet. Or turn into dirt and become part of the planet so the younger generation can grow some vegetables or weed, sell it on the roadside and pay off the student loans that are killing us. Y'all are just a bunch of morans.
Iska,cool or nuts?
Yah Stephanie, all the old asses like Stucky, llipoh, Z, SSS, the Administrator, AWD, and others I'm less acquainted with, ought to bite the bullet, walk the plank, and step off the palnet, as you say. And do what? Turn the planet over to you morans(sic) who can't spell and can't hold a job even at the Olive Garden? Some people impress me as illogical, braying, and churlish leeches. Any idea about the person I'm thinking of? One hint… don't look in the mirror.
Making excuses, blaming other things and people as to why your life is not going the way you would like it is a big waste of time and energy. Instead put that time and energy into coming up with a plan how you can better your situation. Only going from experience. It's something you realize as you get older.
Also I have found that to be successful in any endeavor in life you must first come up with a plan before you even start. Just jumping in and winging it as you go can be very costly if not fatal to your dream.
I was called a kid well into my 30's. But then I was probably acting like one.
Well said Stucky.
Stucky- My grandfather was in the air force in the early 1960s (was out a year before Vietnam started). In the early 1970s he got an associates degree in computer science from Lansing Community College. He worked for the Lansing Police Department on those huge data computers for 27 years. He retired early and was making over $ 200 dollars an hour within his salary. Before retiring they hired 4 Gen Xers with Bachelors degrees and paid them each a quarter of my grandfather's salary. My grandpa retired with a hefty pension, social security, a 401k, and 150 thousand in stocks. He died 15 years after retirement with nothing but debt to his name. He squandered everything, borrowed against our 90 year old heritage, spent every penny of his pension and SS a month, lost all his stocks in the dotcom bust, and gambled away the rest in currency exchanges.
Now my generation is required a Bachelors as a minimum, 3-5 years experiences for entry level positions, are paid no wages for internships, and even then not hired. Many jobs are now requiring Masters degrees because of the devaluation of Bachelors and requiring specialized certifications. It is ridiculous. Now stocks are too high, housing prices are too high, auto prices are too high. It requires at least 20 to get a degree. Rents are ridiculously high (mine is in the 700 dollar range for a one bedroom and that is common in my area, and I am in Alabama) Food inflation is soaring. Today ground beef is going for 4.39 a pound and ground steak was 3.99 a few weeks ago now 4.99. Cigarettes are nearly cheaper than meat. Gas is 3.49, eggs 2.29 a dozen, bread is over 1.50 a loaf, Cheese is 2.50 (BOGOF, or 4.49 without a second bag) for a 2 cup bag. Meat and dairy are becoming luxury items for me. Over the past two weeks I have not been able to afford cheese or milk and have gone without. I now drink my coffee black or buy almond milk (2.99 a gallon- doesn't expire before two weeks) because it is cheaper than milk.
With this, there is no way my generation will be able to buy off their debts get married, and start families. Nature has a way of favoring the young because they of the societal need of reproduction. The imbalance will be corrected somehow.
Stop being such a whiny bitch.
Solidum- Shoo! Go away! Scat!!
Hell Steph. You've been posting these embarrassingly inadequate articles, one after the other, and then begging the Administrator to delete them when it finally begins to dawn on you that they are in fact total shit. Can't wait to see the revised version of 'It Matters Who Controls the Quantity'. Your next article should be 'It Matters if There Is Air'.
Look, I love railing against the boomers. But Stucky here has presented a poetic perspective of the angst many boomers must feel, and you just keep harping on and on – basically summarized as 'I hate being a single waitress'.I really was rooting for you, but your tone and general lack of empathy are the reason people love to hate you.
Go plant a garden. Writing ain't yer thang. Der de der der der money is script and tally stick stick….
Stephanie, your constant blather about student loans is really boring and tiresome. Suck it up, you petty princess. Did someone hold a gun to your head to sign for those loans? And you have the gall to blame the mistakes made by the boomer generation when you did the same type of stupid things yourself?
Soldium-Shoo! Off you go!
Clam – the bachelor degree is indeed devalued. Because they give it to anyone without making them earn it. No offense, but you are exhibit number one. The average college kid today studies around 10 hours per week. When I was at college, it was around 25 hours per week, and at more elite places it was more like 40+.
Whose fault is it? Well, from what I have read, much of it is the students fault – they see themselves as consumers of education, and feel that given they are paying for it, they will determine the quality of it, and the quantity of it. And they have pushed the universities by weight of numbers to dramatically reduce the education being required. Schools have largely not resisted.
So to require a masters is not ridiculous. It is insurance that the person actually has an education. One of my kids is in a masters program – and the workload has trebled or quadrupled from that of a bachelor degree.
Yes, costs are going up, and will continue to do so. Wages will also go down simultaneously.
The fact is, the middle class is dying. The middle class cannot compete in a global market. Half the people in the US have IQs below 10. Those folks are competing against 100s of millions of workers in China and India that are smarter (IQs 110+), more hard-working, better educated, and who are willing to work for less. The bottom half of the US population is entirely SCREWED.
Of the top half, many are damaging themselves by being poorly educated, lazy, and in the wrong fields.
So only perhaps 20% of the US population is positioned to be able to properly compete globally. The rest are SCREWED.
That is the way it is.
Clam – you are working in a service industry. That means low wages, and job insecurity. That is what you will face so long as you keep doing the kind of work you do.
If you want better, you will need to be a better commodity. You will need to dramatically improve your education, your skills, and your attitude. That will not guarantee anything i today's world, but it will give you a chance. Highly unlikely you will do those things, but up to you.
Your generation has many challenges. Some of them were handed down from us boomerfucks. Some were self-created. But the death of the middle class was/is inevitable given the global realities. Poor government has made the crash much harder than it needed to be, but the crash was coming. The world masses made that inevitable.
5% of the world's population simply CANNOT continue to consume 25% of the world's resources. It really is that simple. The world will not allow it indefinitely. That is the way it is. Adapt or perish.
I have often aid the mis have been dealt a bad hand. That is not entirely accurate. They have been dealt a hand that is more like the hands dealt to the rest of the world's population. It may in fact be a better than average hand. It just does not look so good when compared to that hand previous generations of Americans were dealt. But those hands were Royal Flushes. They are very rare, and are unlikely to repeat.
Mils need to accept they have to play run of the mill cards, and they need to become far better players if they are going to turn a profit with those sort of hands.
AWD – the country will never be rebuilt to what it was, with respect to being the preeminent economic power. Never. No matter who is in charge, and no matter what decisions are made, that is never going to happen. There is too much competition. The US took advantage of its resources, its position, and the fact that it was relatively unscathed after WW2 to create an economic juggernaut. Those special circumstances will not be repeated.
Here is a link to a very interesting video. It illustrates how many people are in the world who will be competing for resources. Its major point is that the US should stop ALL immigration – because it is 1) hurting the US, and 2) because it is hurting the nations where the immigrants are coming from.
AWD – yep. I expect tax takes to collapse as the middle classes keep disappearing, too. The government will get more and more desperate for revenues. Uh-oh.
AWD, since the country started out more like Mexico than anything else, I suppose that shouldn't be too much of an issue.
No more American lives to defend the "American" way of life.
I been to Alabama. Very hot and stinky. and such. Literacy not a high important thing there- explain things.
Now I know, will speak words a way you understand from now. Huzzah!
llpoh is right. What has been will never be again. All the riches, expansion and even the middle class was an anomaly based on infinitely printed fiat currency by a corrupt and evil, foreign owned central bank. To be honest, the advantage that America and Americans have had all these years with the dollar as the reserve currency was and is extremely unfair to the rest of the world. At the end of the day it will prove to be unfair to all Americans as well as the middle class and millenials are finding out the hard way.
I don't see why AWD thinks the minnies will get the last laugh with respect to SS. Minnies are paying into it and will continue to do so without ever receiving the promise. Not much to laugh at there IMO. Everyone is going to pay for that insolvency in more than one way.
The USA will be brought down to a level that will end up just a tiny bit above level as compared to the rest of the world. Although I'm not happy at that prospect, I can still see enormous potential in it for a go getter and if I were a minnie I believe I'd do alright.
I said:
"llpoh is right. What has been will never be again. All the riches, expansion and even the middle class was an anomaly based on infinitely printed fiat currency by a corrupt and evil, foreign owned central bank."
I should add that it was also based on seemingly the limitless frontier that America was (both north and south) and the abundant resources they contained. It was new frontiers and seemingly unlimited resources that lifted Europe and most of the world out of the Dark Ages. The last time I checked the Earth was out of frontiers and limitless resources and so we are headed for another Dark Age with no much in sight to deliver us from it.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The 22nd-ranked Arizona State baseball team notched runs in the opening two frames, but were held scoreless for the final seven innings as Tennessee registered an 11-2 win on Saturday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn.
Center fielder Johnny Sewald went 2-for-4 and was one of four freshmen to record a hit for the Sun Devils (3-2).
Right fielder Trever Allen put the Devils on the board first in the top of the opening frame. He hit a two-out base knock, then moved to second on a double by second baseman James McDonald before scoring on a wild pitch on a dropped strike three to third baseman Dalton DiNatale.
Designated hitter Tony DiMartino, making his first career start, led off the second inning with a solo home run, the first of his career, to give the Devils a 2-1 advantage.
The Volunteers (2-4) countered with a run in both the bottom half of the first and second innings to tie the game at two runs apiece, and added a pair in the bottom of the third to take a 4-2 advantage.
UT tacked on five runs in the fifth frame due in part to a throwing error, a wild pitch and a catcher's interference call to extend its lead to seven, 9-2. The Volunteers notched two more runs on three singles in the seventh inning to take a nine-run advantage.
ASU starting left-hander Adam McCreery (0-1) took his first career loss after he gave up five runs, including four earned, on six hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Right-hander Alex Blackford struck out five and allowed four runs, including two earned, on four hits in 2 2/3 innings of work. Freshman right-hander Eric Melbostad made his first career appearance in the eighth inning and gave up no hits and one walk.
UT starter Aaron Quillen surrendered two runs on five hits in three innings, and reliever Drake Owenby (1-0) scattered two hits across four scoreless innings to earn the win.

The Sun Devils return to Lindsey Nelson Stadium on Sunday for the series finale against Tennessee. First pitch is at 11 a.m. (MT). Follow the team on Twitter at @ASU_Baseball for live scoring and updates from the weekend, and check thesundevils.com for stats, notes and more.

Testosterone Therapy
Is Your Testosterone Running Low?
CausesContributing factors to the development of androgen deficiency include:
- Medications, especially those used to treat depression or mental disorders
- Alcoholism
- Chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer that targets or harms the testicles
- Chronic illness
- Dysfunction of the pituitary gland (a gland in the brain that produces substances that regulate hormone production from the brain to the testis)
- Hemochromatosis (too much iron in the blood)
- Hypogonadism (when the testis is not able to produce high enough levels of testosterone, aka androgen deficiency, or sperm, aka spermatogenesis)
- Inflammatory diseases, such as sarcoidosis (a condition that causes injury to or infection of the testicles)
- Illnesses, such as AIDS, that compromise the immune system
- Excessive stress, which taxes the adrenal system
SymptomsThe diagnosis of testosterone deficiency can only be made through a full medical examination by a doctor. If you suspect you may be suffering from androgen deficiency, please contact your doctor; however, some of the symptoms are as follows:
- Erectile dysfunction (the inability to get or maintain an erection)
- High cholesterol levels (having high cholesterol or high blood pressure causes hardening of the arteries, which can decrease blood flow to the testicles and cause enough damage to lower testosterone)
- Obesity, especially around the waist
- Depression
- Anxiety or mood swings
- Problems with concentration and memory or other cognitive and intellectual functions
- Low sex drive
- Decreased bone density, possibly leading to osteoporosis
What is TRT?There are solutions if you discover that you are suffering from androgen deficiency. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) may be administered to men who are not producing high enough levels of testosterone. Such treatment is usually long-term and should only be started when androgen deficiency has been clinically proven, including testing hormone levels in the laboratory and ruling out other possible medical conditions.
Testosterone is available in pill form, patches, gels, creams, and intramuscular injections or it can be implanted under the skin. Absorbing testosterone through the skin via a patch or gel or receiving an intramuscular injection (every two weeks) are the best methods of delivering TRT. Testosterone in an oral form is not absorbed very well by the body and may increase the risk of high cholesterol, as well as heart and liver problems.
Understanding androstenedioneAlthough falsely sold on the market as a way to "naturally" increase testosterone levels, androstenedione is a steroid-like substance — a metabolite of DHEA and a natural precursor of testosterone. It is often taken as a dietary steroidal supplement to purportedly regulate testosterone levels, and when taken in large doses, it may cause effects similar to stronger anabolic steroids like testosterone.
Although it may also function to stimulate androgen production, it should not be seen as a replacement for standard medical treatments; as a supplement, it's not regulated by the FDA. Companies that manufacture steroidal supplements often make claims that are false, and very little is known about the long-term effects on the body of some of these substances. If you require Testosterone Replacement Therapy, stick to the drugs, treatments and recommendations made by your doctor.

The men's and women's indoor track and field teams look ahead once again to back-to-back meets this coming weekend. On Saturday, thrower Julian Wruck will represent UCLA at the Claremont Winter Throws Invitational and 39 Bruins will compete at the annual Run for the Dream Invitational the following day in Fresno, CA.
Wruck, a redshirt junior, will be making his official Bruins debut this Saturday. The Australian native transferred to UCLA from Texas Tech following the 2011 track and field season, the one in which he won the NCAA Outdoor discus crown as well as the Big 12 title in the discus event. In 2012, Wruck competed unattached during his redshirt season. Following the collegiate season, Julian competed for Australia in the discus at the 2012 London Olympic Games. He will look to find success in Claremont this Saturday.
On Sunday, the Bruins are hoping to build upon the success the team found last year in Fresno at the Run for the Dream Invite. In 2012, they posted four wins and two meet records in this indoor competition. Junior All-American Alec Faldermeyer posted a gigantic throw of 67-6.25 on his first throw of the competition and never looked back, setting the tone for what was a big day for the Bruins. Faldermeyer will not be defending his title in Frenso this weekend.
Returning Bruins include multi-eventers Marcus Nilsson and Dominic Giovannoni, distance runners Jacob Wood, Alec Govi and David McDonald and sprinter Wally Rodriguez. The women did not compete in this competition last season.

True Copy (Certified Copy) of a Document
secure: online tracking
& email update
fast: regular 4-5 days
affordable: low service fee
True copy (or certified copy) of original documents are often needed to make sure that copies submitted are true, exact, complete and unaltered. The procedure and wording may differ slightly from state to state and information may be available from the Office of Secretary of State of each state.
In general, a simple "true copy" word with a stamp and signature of the notary public is NOT enough for the purpose of document authentication in a Chinese consulate.
Most states allow a notary public to certify a true copy of non-recordable documents. Recordable documents, like birth certificate, marriage license, deed, court documents usually should be obtained directly from authorities.
Before your document can be authenticated by the Chinese consulate, it needs to be certified by the Office of Secretary of State. [see Authentication Procedures]
Here are the basic requirements for the southern 8 states (the states covered by Chinese Consulate in Houston).
Sample wording for certifying photocopies:
State of Arkansas
County of ____________
Example for attestation of a copy of a document:
State of Oklahoma
County of ____________
I certify that this is a true and correct copy of a document in the possession of _____________________
(Signature of notarial officer)
Title (and Rank)
State of Texas
County of _______________
On this __________ day of __________, (year), I certify that the preceding or attached document, and the duplicate retained by me as a notarial record, are true, exact, complete, and unaltered photocopies made by me of (description of document), presented to me by the document's custodian, _______________, and that, to the best of my knowledge, the photocopied document is neither a public record nor a publicly recordable document, certified copies of which are available from an official source other than a notary.
(Personalized Seal)
A notary public may make attested photocopies if the following criteria, found in 117.05(12)(a) of the Florida Statutes, are satisfied.
F.S.A. 117.05(12)(a)
A notary public may supervise the making of a photocopy of an original document and attest to the trueness of the copy, provided the document is neither a vital record in this state, another state, a territory of the United States, or another country, nor a public record, if a copy can be made by the custodian of the public record.
A notary public must use a certificate in substantially the following form in notarizing an attested copy:
On this _____ day of __________, (year) , I attest that the preceding or attached document is a true, exact, complete, and unaltered photocopy made by me of (description of document) presented to me by the document's custodian, ____________________, and, to the best of my knowledge, that the photocopied document is neither a vital record nor a public record, certified copies of which are available from an official source other than a notary public.
(Official Notary Signature and Notary Seal)
State of Wyoming
County of __________
I certify that this is a true and correct copy of a document entitled ________________________ (Title of document) in the possession of ________________________ (Name(s) or Person(s)).
Dated _______________________
Signature of Notarial Officer __________________________
Title (Notary Public or Rank if military officer) ____________________________
My commission expires: ________________
ConnecticutUnder Connecticut law, notaries have NO AUTHORITY to prepare "certified" or "true" copies of any documents. It is a very common request and notaries should be prepared to meet such requests in a helpful manner. The Office of Secretary of State of CT recommends that all notaries use the following procedure:
The notary should request that the person presenting the document make a photocopy and prepare a written statement, that may be attached to or written on the photocopy itself, stating that it is a true copy of the original. The individual then verifies under oath, administered by the notary, that the statement is true. The requesting party signs the statement in the notary's presence and the form of jurat that appears under Sec. 4.9, is attached and completed by the notary.
