It scarcely seems plausible that an ordinary human could be the most vivid character on HBO's ghoulish True Blood, a show teeming with supernatural, larger-than-death freaks.
Then again, "ordinary" is probably not the best way to describe Lafayette Reynolds, an emphatically gay man in a small Southern town. Brilliantly played by Nelsan Ellis, Lafayette is a redneck-thumping, drug-dealing diva with a tongue saltier than the gumbo he serves up as the grill cook at Merlotte's honky tonk.
Amid True Blood's menagerie of vampires, shape-shifters and werewolves, Lafayette's bayou bohemian was the hardest role to cast, according to creator Allan Ball, who adapted the show from Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels.

New Jersey's PDA, Pennsylvania's FC Delco and the Baltimore Casa Mia Bays all had two boys teams crowned champions on Tuesday at the US Youth Soccer Region I Championships.
The U-19 Casa Mia Bays, who beat Virginia's ABGC-RFC, 1-0, have been to the US Youth Soccer National Championships five times, played in three finals and won twice (2003 and 2004).
Over 750 fans filled the soccer stadium at Bowdoin College in Portland, Maine, to watch Maine's U-17 boys from the Coastal FC, which lost its bid to become the first team from Maine to advance to the national championships. Delco beat Coastal, 1-0.
On the girls, Virginia led all state associations with four champions: VSA Heat (U-12), McLean Freedom (U-16), Richmond Strikers Elite (U-17) and PWSI Cardinals (U-19). PDA added a third Region I title when it won the U-15 girls crown.

Bobby Brown (R&B singer, New Edition member)
~ Person
Full Name: Robert Baresford Brown - Born In: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Spouse: Whitney Houston (18 July 1992 - September 13, 2006) 1 child
Robert Barisford "Bobby" Brown (born February 5, 1969) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. Brown started his career as one of the frontmen of the R&B and pop group New Edition, from its inception in 1978 until his forced exit from the group in 1985 following a period of misbehavior and rebellious behavior on his part. Starting a solo career, he became a hit success with his second album in 1988, Don't Be Cruel, which spawned a number of hit singles including the self-penned "My Prerogative", which became his signature hit. Brown had a string of top ten hits on various Billboard charts between 1986 and 1993. Brown is noted as a pioneer of new jack swing, a fusion of R&B.
From 1992 to 2007 Brown was married to the pop artist Whitney Houston (1963–2012), with whom he had a child, late Bobbi Kristina Brown (1993–2015). The couple starred in the reality show Being Bobby Brown.

Reusing gift wrap or wrapping gifts in recycled paper is a great way to not add more paper to the landfill. Share your ideas for using recycled or reusing gift wrap. This is a guide about recycled gift wrap ideas.
For free/cheap gift wrapping, save old red and green shirts or find them cheap at the thrift store or at yard sales throughout the year. Cut them up and use for wrapping gifts. Any buttons can be used to make cute package ties.
By vaylmer from Boston, MA
I would love to see a picture, thanks for the post. :)
Looking for a fun, frugal, and green way to present gifts this holiday season? Save those pop-tab cans from fruits and veggies and you are sure to make everyone on your gift list smile.
By Teri M from Omaha, NE
I did this for my daughter & son-in-law 3 years ago, the 1st Christmas after their twin boys were born. They were buying formula in the big cans at Sams & would give me a can since I watched the babies while they worked.
So I emptied one from...
Pretty gift wrap is very expensive. When I receive gifts, I carefully unwrap my present, fold the gift wrap it came in and put it away for later. Then I put my iron on DRY and COTTON setting. Iron the plain paper on the right side, embossed or shiny on the wrong side. Don't keep the iron on the same area for too long because it marks or burns, long sweeps are best. Roll up, and you have pretty gift wrap for nothing!
By Cettina from Malta, Europe
When my UPS packages arrive, they have brown paper in large sheets for stuffing. I iron them and use colored ink and stamps to decorate the paper for wrapping paper.
If you have clear 2 litre plastic soda pop bottles, you can use them to hold a gift. Just cut an "H" on the side of the bottle, peel open the plastic, insert gift, be it a wrapped gift with ribbon, a teddy bear or doll, or a fresh baked treat.
Wrappings don't have to be wasteful. I love gift bags! It's become so much easier to wrap things and to put together the collections of little gifts I usually give. What's more they can be recycled almost indefinitely if you are careful with them.
Save gift wrap; put it through your shredder. Place the shredded gift wrap in two separate bags: one for general gifts and one for Christmas time. These bags can hang on hooks most anywhere until needed for packing, separating items or whatever.
Seeing as chip bags pile up fairly quickly, I decided several years ago to put them to good use and save money at the same time. I wash them good, let dry, cut off the top edge, and turn them inside out.
Recycled Christmas Gift Bag
that is REALLY cute ! I LOVE it !
Gift wrap can get expensive, plus it tears easily if you are wrapping an odd shaped, or sharp cornered gift. I used cloth remnants from sewing projects instead of wrapping paper and found they were oohed and aahed over as much as the gift was.
More Christmas wrapping ideas. Small gifts like gift cards, small toys, jewelry items, etc. fit inside toilet paper rolls nicely, and then you just wrap overtop of that, twist the ends of the wrapping paper, and you have a cute little "Christmas cracker."
Don't buy new Christmas wrapping paper if at all possible. There are lots of things you can use instead; try to recycle and reuse instead.
I like to give little presents at holidays like Easter to my neighbors and their children - and although they looked great, all the wrapping were recycled! The violet ribbon was saved from a gift, the yellow stripped cellophane around a bunny came from a bouquet, and the gift bags and tissue and the bows all had been around before. So be careful in unwrapping your gifts - you can use the ribbon/bows, even the paper again for someone else. It's ecological and thrifty, too. (And fabric ribbon, even the thin rayon kind can be ironed to make it look nice and fresh, too, My great aunt taught me that.)
By Pam from L.A.

Creepy Halloween Place Cards
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
These Creepy Halloween Place Cards are great Halloween party ideas for the banquet table. With a little paint and some patience, these place cards will truly come to life. This is especially a good Halloween party idea for kids. They can each make a spooky craft to take home and use while they're at the party. If you sit them down to work at the beginning of the party, these Creepy Halloween Place Cards will be ready to go by the time dinner rolls around.
Primary Technique: Painting
Occasion/Theme: Fall
- Foam stamps (spider, bat, etc)
- 5″x7″ card stock, one for each place card
- Acrylic craft paint: black, white, yellow, red
- Pencil or pen
- 2 black Sharpies, one fine and one medium point
- Halloween letters
- Fold the card stock in half lengthwise, crease neatly. Choose a foam stamp for your place card.
- Coat it generously with black paint.
- Press it, paint side down, onto one of the upper corners of your place card. To remove, lift straight up so that you don't smear any paint. You will need to let this dry before moving on to the next step.
- Print out these fonts, enlarge them on your printer if needed. You can either cut out the letters that you need, or just move the paper around as needed. Place the lettered paper over your place card and position them where you want them to appear on the card. Use a pen or pencil to trace around the letters.
- This will create an indent in the card underneath. Now use your fine tip Sharpie to trace the indented lines. Use the medium point Sharpie to fill in the letters.
- Now you will need to check the consistency of your paint. In my experience, most acrylic paints are at good consistency when new but will begin to thicken as they get older. To test your paint, put some in a paint palette and dip your paintbrush in. Pull the brush out and hold it up. Most paints will be thick enough that it will not drip off the brush. You want it a little thinner, as you do want it to drip, but not quickly. Thin the paint with a little water and keep testing until the paint slowly drips off the brush.
- Stand the place card up on its ends and place a heavy drop of red paint at the crease, leaning toward the front of the card. If it doesn't drip, just add a little bit more onto the first drop until it begins to drip down the front of the card. Repeat until you have the effect that you want.
- When the drips are all dry, this will take several hours, you can use a toothpick to add eyes to you card's creatures.

The season's not quite over yet, but with just about a week remaining, not much will sway the statistics enough to change a player's appearance as either an underrated or overrated performer.
At times the distinction can be hard to tell.
On the surface the numbers may indicate that a player is at the top of their game for their position. A deeper look at the statistics can tell an entirely different story. Maybe that player is getting significant help from their surrounding cast, or perhaps their numbers are inflated by meaningless situations.
On the flip side of this argument, there are always a handful of players who have performed solidly for their teams and gone relatively unnoticed or at least not garnered the attention their statistics deserve.
These underrated players are often the unsung heroes of many games along the way to a team's ultimate goal of postseason baseball and a chance to play deep into October in a quest to win a World Series ring.
This is my list of the players I would place on the all-overrated and all-underrated rosters. It is solely based on my own opinion and analysis of the standard and sabermetric statistics that were available on Baseball-Reference.com and FanGraphs.com. If you don't agree with a pick I made, please submit your lists in the comment section below, and thanks for reading.

Yoni Steaming, or Vaginal Steaming is an ancient tradition from around the world. Women have used yoni steaming for thousands of years to treat a number of conditions of the vagina and uterus, and also just for general nourishment of the vagina and reproductive organs. Women use yoni steams to reduce period pain, to reduce the amount of blood flow each month, to improve fertility, as a treatment for vaginismus and endometriosis, and much more. Even women who are post menopause have reported passing blood after doing a yoni steam, which shows how it can clean the womb of old blood which hasn't been fully released during our bleeding cycle. Interesting, don't you think?

In this 85-minute DVD discover how to connect with your natural capacity for pleasure so you can enjoy the full spectrum of intimacy that your body is capable of feeling.
This is a conversation between Charles Eisenstein (author of Sacred Economics) and Rex Brangwyn.
i thought it was wonderful, so I encourage anyone with an interest in deepening their sexual connection, male or female, to listen to it. With their partner, if possible. It speaks of the possibilities that occur when the masculine practices pure presence with the feminine. This allows her to fully open her sexuality. This is a very powerful thing, which not all men have yet experienced, so please, listen, and enjoy.
Inspired by my recent research into that natural marvel, The Pomegranate Plant, I've got some information for the men too. My last blog post about pomegranate focused exclusively on its benefits for women's hormonal health. Well. It's just as amazing for men's health – duh. Because we are all human beings – yay.

There are many mysteries surrounding Tantric Massages for those that don't know the detail, and there is also a fair amount of misunderstanding to do with this ancient art. This article is to look at the background, find out where Tantric Massage originated and a description of the technique involved.
Many of us are either too tired or too busy to get really intimate with our partners, and as such the energy centres become blocked as sexual regions become stagnant. Kundalini energy emanates throughout our bodies when we're open and relaxed enough to embrace it, but what about when we're not?

1993 Jeep Wrangler S 2dr SUV 4WD
Ive had this ride since 93. My only complaint was that Chrysler failed to implement a recall on the fuel gauge system failure. And replacing it would have cost me $700.00 at the dealer, which I promptly refused to do. I drive without a working fuel gauge till this day. Needless to say, I had that car shipped to Hawaii for three years, and Italy for four, now its in Florida waiting to be shipped to Puerto Rico. I will own it till it dies. It went through three transmissions, fuel pump, water pump, two belts, five brake changes, four u-bolts, four shocks, tires, and that about it, aside from oil and tune ups. I have off road several times
4 X 4 Rugged Easy to pick up girls. just whistle!
None The best improvement was the new shock system they installed in later models. Betters factory recalls.
1993 Jeep Wrangler S 2dr SUV 4WD
I read about jeep owners loving their jeep with 150,000 miles. My jeep has 310,000 miles and doing remarkably well. I have used it like a log truck and pulled logs at one time. Patton said the jeep and the browning BAR automatic rifle won WWII. I also have a Grand Cher Laredo. It can't hold a light to the wrangler with the sports package as far as performance and reliability.
I like its sporty look it gives the driver regardless of the age of the person driving the wrangler.
My wrangler and my grand cher laredo have the same 4.0 engine but my grand cher laredo gets 6 to 7 miles better gas mileage than the wrangler and the wrangler has no A.C. Please do something?
1993 Jeep Wrangler S 2dr SUV 4WD
Picked up ol' blue almost a yr ago on July 4th. Had 119K on it, now it has 123K. In her retirement, she's received a lot of TLC - 4" Superlift, 33x12.5x15 BFG Mud Terrains on Series 152 Black Rock Crawlers, AEM cold air intake, high flow cat., along w/40 Series Delta Flow Flowmaster, Detroit lockers rear, Detroit true-trac front, and 4.88 gears f/r. No oil leaks (yet) on original 2.5L I4 AMC engine. Engine runs strong for a 4 banger and now takes synthetic motor oil for more TLC. To date, no white or black smoke from her tailpipe. Has been a good experience mechanically, and overall, easy to work on. I have had too much fun giving this rig a new lease on life.
Legendary appearance, off-road prowess, soft top, no top, and well built 4 banger.
It's a '93; it's all good! This thing has proven itself in my book.
1993 Jeep Wrangler S 2dr SUV 4WD
Like the other reviewers have said. It's a Jeep. It can be expensive. But, fixing things and doing regular maintenance right can make your Jeep really last. You must want a Jeep to get one, not just a car. They are not comfortable, they are not cheap, but they are very, very fun. There's nothing else like it. I am a creature of comfort (also drive a Lexus) however, I can't get rid of the Jeep. It's just too much fun.
You can buy about anything for a Jeep. It's easy to customize it to you. I put on steel wheels, a mesh top, a grill guard, and a number of other things. And they're all bolt on. So, easy installation!
Many things could be improved, but don't buy it if you're on a tight budget or you'll be sorry.
1993 Jeep Wrangler S 2dr SUV 4WD
I have the'93 Wrangler S. Many friends scoffed at me when I sold a Toyota truck and bought the Jeep. It's been EXTREMELY reliable and has held up to abuse that would destroy almost anything else out there, So far I've put 100k miles on it with 3 non-user induced repairs; starter fuel pump and oil pressure switch. Extremely fun to drive on the short haul but abusive on a long drive. Spartan interior with almost no creature comforts, Leg room could be more. Over all it's the best car I have ever owned and will keep it in one form or another for a very long time
Convertible, 4 wheel drive, lots of aftermarket accessories to personalize it and make it your own.
More legroom. Full steel doors with roll up windows would be nice as STANDARD equipment. More supportive seating.

Get the Party Started: Homemade Piñata
This moon piñata can work two ways. Of course you can hang fill it with candy, but you can also just use it as a decoration. This technique of making a piñata (instead of paper mache) goes so quick and has a lot less mess. When I'm making a piñata like this I usually add the fringe while I'm watching a movie. It's mindless work but is really relaxing.For the full instructions, check out Oh Happy Day. (Images: Kate Nicholson for Oh Happy Day)

the pocket diapers and microfiber inserts just need one hot wash (or warm if your heater is turned up high) with an extra rinse. tumble dry everything low or hang the covers and dry the inserts on high.
the hemp you can either boil and then wash once (separately from the pocket diapers) or you can wash 3-6 times (separately still). you can wash with clothes or sheets/towels to make a full load as long as you use appropriate laundry products
don't worry about stripping for now, thats for is you have issues
once the diapers are in use you'll want to do some version of this wash routine (everything can wash together after the prep washes are done)- cold rinse, hot wash, extra rinse (or if you have an HE its more like short cold wash, hot wash extra water, short warm wash)
as for detergent, thats different for everyone. i've used Country Save/ Bumgenius detergent pretty successfully but i don't enjoy the smell (kind of borax-y) so i use The Laundry Tarts now (you can get it from kissedbythemoon.com)
I don't get 'drunk' I get less classy and more fun
hahaha wetback....thats funny
Anyhoo, I use rockngreen soap. I wash all of my different types of diapers together. I even washed them with her laundry quite a few times. The rockngreen was great for her sensetive skin. I dried all my inserts and prefolds on high and line dried all the covers. If they got stinky or stained I would sit them in the sun and the stains disappear. The covers I use for my prefolds just get wiped out or rinsed off when its just a pee and then reused. I could never afford a wetbag or the fancy pail, so I just used a regular little trash can. I washed every day so they never were a stink issue. When I go out I keep a big gallon sized ziplock bag in the diaper bag for any soiled diapers or bibs, or general baby grossness.
Good luck with the new squish!!! Check out the babywearing board also!

In 1929 the BBC commissioned Gill to decorate their new headquarters at Broadcasting House, just north of Oxford Circus in London. This is a model for the group above the main entrance. In Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, the sorceror, Prospero, reigns over a magical island, served by an airy sprite named Ariel. Ariel provided a useful symbol for radio's communication across the airwaves. Gill said that 'the figures... are as much God the Father and God the Son as they are Shakespeare's characters'. The linear style of Prospero's hair and drapery is very close to that of Medieval carving.

The Eagles had a tough loss to the Falcons where they made a lot of mistakes. They also lost Michael Vick to a concussion and had to use Mike Kafka in the fourth quarter.
With that being said, some guys really stood out and had a great game, and other guys stood out due to their extremely poor play. So we have game ball and game goats for Week 2. See which guys really stood out and which guys really cost the Eagles a victory in Week 2.

The Arrival of the Modern Guitarist: Marcos Pin and Hristo Vitchev
Marcos Pin Factor E-Reset
Free Code Jazz Records
Galician guitarist and composer Marcos Pin has undertaken a daring project with Barbanza, his first recording leading a large ensemble. The spacious, dramatic and quite inventive set consists of six originals and a reading of saxophonist John Coltrane's "Moment's Notice." The orchestral approach to the material is reminiscent of pianist/arranger Gil Evans' classic works. Pin, however, brings his own unique touch to leadership that clearly stem from his native musical heritage.
On the classically influenced "Where Are They?," the theatrical dialogue between Pin's lilting and percussive guitar and the rest of the band is like the exchange between a solitary actor and a chorus. It also gives him the opportunity to showcase his intelligent improvisations that seamlessly emerge from the main theme and meld back into it. Reedman Pablo Castanho's warm and intimate alto weaves a wistful tone poem around the vaguely Spanish melody.
Castanho's mellow and elastic sound is the perfect complement to saxophonist Toňo Otero's thick and vibrato heavy baritone on the Coltrane standard. Tenorist Xosė Lois Miguelez's hearty and fluent saxophone brings an ardent, earthy feel. The piece also highlights Pin's leadership skills as he coaxes a big band personality out of his tentet and punctuates the arrangement with his carefully placed notes.
Pianist Manolo Gutiérez's spare keys open the modal and cinematic "Bico De Mar." Gutiérez's darkly hued and mellifluous solo sets a nocturnesque ambience, one enhanced by trombonist José Luis Miranda longing song and bassist Juansy Santomé's haunting and sparse "chant."
A night-time atmosphere also permeates the sensuous, tangoesque "Noite De Sereas" that features vibraphonist Ton Risco's cool, boppish cascade of mallet strikes and tenorist Xosė Lois Miguelez's blues drenched, slowly simmering saxophone.
Risco's resonant bars usher in the pièce de la resistance and the most inventively stimulating composition on this imaginative and thrilling album, "Escarbote's Blues." Trumpeter Javier Pereiro's burnished and clear horn constructs an edgy extemporization over the guitar-led angular rhythmic structures. Drummer Max Goméz's complex rumble adds an urgency to the tune with its shifting dynamics and tonal colors. A free flowing, stream of consciousness conversation by all the musicians flirts with the avant-garde without being abstruse. This delightfully subtle cacophony flows back to Risco's tolling vibes that conclude the disc.
Pin's bold and ambitious endeavor has paid off handsomely. The resulting record is an intriguing and satisfying mélange of sublime spontaneity and brilliant orchestration.
As extroverted as Pin's opus is, guitarist/composer Hristo Vitchev's is introspective in its intimacy but no less enthralling.
Hristo Vitchev Quartet
Familiar Fields
First Orbit Sounds
Bulgaria-born and San Francisco-based Vitchev has established himself as a modern day troubadour. His enchanting and fantastical tunes have the feel of medieval ballads abundantly peppered with futuristic sounds.
His sixth release, Familiar Fields, presents nine impressionistic originals that showcase his maturing compositional skills as well as the superlative, improvisational talents of his working quartet.
The two-part title track is an intriguing exercise in contrasts. The first opens with Vitchev's languid tones floating over the urgently percolating rhythmic structures of his band mates. Vitchev's sinewy meandering solo stems out of bassist Dan Robbins' heady yet honeyed dark resonance. The second starts as a haunting lullaby, with pianist Weber Iago's sparse and bright keys echoing against the ambient silence. The melody gradually evolves out of Iago's spontaneous and earthy embellishments and leads logically into Vitchev's ethereal and complex flights of fancy.
Long time collaborators Vitchev and Iago have a unique musical empathy. Each player expands on the ideas of the other so perfectly that it almost seems as if there is a single musician alternating instruments.
A classically-trained, Rio De Janeiro-native, Iago builds exciting modal improvisations on sonata-like structures of such pieces as the cinematic "The Prophet's Daughter." Robbins' lyrical and conversational bass enhances the darker motifs while drummer Mike Shannon bursts forth with a short but exhilarating expression of rollicking beats that concludes the tune.
A versatile instrumentalist, Robbins handles his large chordophone with a remarkable agility as his intricately woven extemporization demonstrates on the vaguely gypsy-esque "The Mask of Agamemnon."
Equally multifaceted Shannon can go from percussive exuberance to poignant taps, gentle brushes and tolling cymbals as he amply demonstrates on the pastoral and intimate "Willing to Live."
With each album Vitchev's oeuvre ripens and becomes more sophisticated without losing its delightfully spirited edge. Familiar Fields not only stands on its own merit as sublime music but also whets the appetite for what is yet to come.

An interesting example where it is intercepted, as a test, the function STRLWR. I will take no credit out of the hook, since it is about a simple patch that I googled in like 5 seconds. What I will show is a pair of pictures at the respect. How the executable was compiled, so it will be MSVCRT DLL dependent.
How it was searched the export in the DLL, you can see its index and its symbol.

needs work but worth it!
by diesel luke from phoenix | September 10, 2009
I bought this 97 K2500 4x4 truck used with a 6.5 turbo diesel. The motor needed a new PMD which happens alot with this motor. The PMD always burns up and the truck wont run right because of the PMDs placement.and I got a FSD heat-sync because of its relocated location so it will never go bad ever again. The truck runs like a champ after I replaced a bad vacuum pump and now the turbo works great. mileage is from low 12s city and could go all the way up to 20 highway if you drive it right. The control arm bushings are being replaced, I put on a new air intake, and I hope to do much more with this big block V8 motor. but a FSD HEAT-SYNC is a MUST with this motor of you will hate this truck and the dealerships for changing your injection pumps 10 times in two year and still not solving the problem!

LP edition on 140 gram vinyl.
2015 Cubadisco International Award Winner
Cecilia Noël's newest album, Havana Rocks, is now available on vinyl LP. Havana Rocks is a Latin-in... more
Cecilia Noël is passionate, flamboyant, exotic, and incredible talented. "Salsoul", the genre Noël created to describe her sound, combines elements of salsa, soul, jazz, funk, and afro-cuban.
Originally from Lima, Perú, Noël's career began at the age of eight with a starring role in a Perúvian television show called "El Tío Johnny." As a teenager, Noël's mother Menina Pereira sent her to Argentina and Germany to take voice, violin, and piano lessons. Upon returning, she sang and studied under the tutelage of famed Italian bandleader Carlo Berscia. Encouraged by the legendary Stan Getz to move to the US, Noël relocated to New York City and sang at the legendary Rainbow Room, and as a principal dancer with Jo Jo's Dance Factory and with the legendary boy band Menudo.
Noël moved to Los Angeles in 1989, and, with her newly formed SalSoul band Cecilia Noël and The Wild Clams were signed to Epic records shortly thereafter.
A James Brown meets Pérez Prado band, Cecilia Noël And The Wild Clams quickly received attention for their explosive live shows and became one of the most powerful and entertaining live music acts in Los Angeles, and beyond, over the last 20 years.
This year of 2014, finds Cecilia about to release her new album "Havana Rocks" in August, recorded in Havana, Cuba. She is currently playing dates in LA and surrounding areas, with her new somewhat smaller band, with spectacular musicians hailing from Cuba, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
Noël also performs and records with husband and former Men At Work frontman Colin Hay.

Please help me!
By Jonny_Rogers 12 Comments
I have been trying to make films for nearly 3 years, and have struggled to get the attention of any more than 100 people on (the majority of) my videos, specifically ones relating to comics and their characters. I understand that many other people face this problem, but I fear that my only solution is to open up awareness to a wider community, and who better than a website devoted to comics to do such?
I am aware of how bad some of my earlier videos are, but please consider how things have, and will, improve in time. Thanks!

We're nearing the end of 2015, and in keeping with the tradition of beginning again as a new year approaches, I've renovated my blog. It's needed a fresh face for a while, but I've put off getting down to the nitty-gritty to make the changes. However, accidentally deleting my old design pushed me to start over. I guess goof-ups like that can be the impetus for change. I still have some tweaking to do, but for now, I like the new look!
Speaking of changes, there will be some for me as an author in the new year. Some changes are not yet gelled, but watch this space for news concerning book 2 of the Amish series, as well as news concerning a new manuscript which may be making its way into book form in 2016 also.
Onward toward 2016!
Blessings to you,

Myanmar: land LOST IN TIME
BAGAN, Myanmar -- The rising sun streaked a light blanket of fog with pink and yellow. Suddenly, pagodas popped out from the mist, some grand and intricate, others squat and modest -- a carousel of Buddhist temples amid fields of sesame, tamarind and scrub.
If not for a monolithic red brick silo in the middle of this scene, you could almost imagine yourself in the 11th century, when Bagan was home to the first kingdom of Burma.
But the silo, with a restaurant and viewing platform, towers above the temples in the country now called Myanmar. The silo was built in 2003 by a crony of the ruling generals and is a major reason the temples were denied world heritage status by the United Nations.
This is the magic and folly of Myanmar. Closed off for years by a repressive, corrupt military reign, much of the country seems lost in time and truly untouched by signs of globalization like fast food chains. Women here still chalk their faces with thanaka, a paste made from tree bark. Men wear longyi, wraparound skirts gracefully knotted at the waist. Monks carry begging bowls through town in the early morning ritual of seeking food.
But now that the government is opening Myanmar to the outside world, tourists are rushing to experience the country. While numbers remain small, they are increasing: About 260,000 arrivals from January to October 2012 compared with 175,000 in the same period in 2011. Tours often sell out, and startup airlines are sprouting up.
There's also a palpable sense of possibility and change, making it an exciting time to visit. The Governor's Residence hotel in Yangon recently set up a screen for guests to watch Luc Besson's "The Lady," a film about Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and liberation heroine whom the government released in 2010 after 15 years of house arrest. The screening would have been unheard of two years ago.
Barbed wire still tops the wall around Suu Kyi's home, a must drive-by in Yangon, formerly Rangoon.
Yangon is also home to Myanmar's most sacred temple: the 320-foot-tall Shwedagon Pagoda, whose golden dome is visible through much of the city. Its tiers are plated in gold, studded with diamonds, and capped by an orb bearing 4,500 diamonds, with a single 76-carat diamond on top.
Families and pilgrims spend the day at the pagoda spreading out rugs and meals they've packed, alternately worshipping and chatting -- the social equivalent of parks and malls in the United States. The temple's origins are said to date back 2,500 years, but it has been rebuilt over the centuries, and is encircled by hundreds of smaller temples, shrines and pavilions.
While the Shwedagon is the star attraction in Yangon, don't miss out on other areas of the country, like Bagan, Mandalay and Inle Lake.
Not many Western tourists venture to Mandalay: It's flat, dusty and traffic-congested, despite the romance attached to its name. But it's a vibrant commercial and internal transportation hub.
Mandalay also teems with monasteries and culture, and for shoppers, it's a center for crafts, including wood carving, silverware, gold-leafing and tapestries.
Southeast of Mandalay is Inle Lake, where members of the Intha ethnic group use boats to tend their crops on floating gardens. Others fish in small dugout boats, casting nets while using one leg to steer in a Kabuki-like ballet.
How the opening up of Myanmar will affect its rich culture and traditions is an issue of much discussion, and a major reason for the current tourist stampede. "I had to come see the real Burma before it gets spoiled," one Australian visitor said over breakfast, as his fellow travelers nodded.

Lessons Learned: LBJ Announces He Will Not Seek Reelection
CFR's James M. Lindsay remembers President Lyndon B. Johnson's announcement on March 31, 1968, that he would not seek reelection, and...
Speaker: James M. Lindsay, Director of Studies, Council on Foreign Relations
January 19, 2012
On a cold, snowy morning fifty-one years ago, President John F. Kennedy stepped up to a podium at the East Front of the Capitol building and delivered what was perhaps the most memorable inaugural address since Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first, remembers James M. Lindsay, senior vice president and director of studies. Seeking to calm fears about the rise of Soviet power during the 1950s, Kennedy spoke eloquently of the United States as a near limitless force for change in the world. He called on U.S. citizens to act in support of their government, uttering the immortal line: "Ask not what your country can do for you–ask what you can do for your country."
However, Vietnam disproved the notion that the American public was willing to "bear any burden," says Lindsay. A successful foreign policy, whether it be a war with Vietnam in the 1960s or negotiations with Iran or North Korea, requires balancing costs and benefits and ensuring public support. So while Kennedy's words inspire us today, Lindsay argues, they also provide a powerful reminder of the perils of overreaching.

- Review of: Quicken for Windows
- Reviewed by:
- Published on:
- Last modified:
Summary: The gold standard in personal finance applications. While it remains the app to beat, Intuit has sold Quicken, so its future is unknown. The new Bill Center is a nice addition, though not sure worth the upgrade price.
I'm a long-time user of Quicken since 1992 — now over 23 years. I've tracked every one of my 60+ accounts within Quicken. So to say I'm a power-user of their product would be an understatement. We have every bank account, credit card, asset, retirement, investment, and liability linked within the software. For this review of Quicken Premier 2016 for Windows, I bought a copy from Amazon and converted from my previous version of Quicken 2015.
For whatever reason, Quicken was released late this year. Normally Quicken comes out in September or October, but for its final send-off by Intuit it came out in November. Hopefully, Intuit used this time to more fully test their product and fix any bugs.
If you are unaware, this will be the last update by Intuit, as they have sold Quicken to a private equity firm. I'm not sure what to make of this news or what it means for the future of Quicken. I hope the new owner makes Quicken a better product and more in tune with the needs of today's users. Read on, though, as I have my doubts.
Intuit never makes radical changes with their annual software updates, as they incrementally add features to Quicken, and the enhancements tend to be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. This year, the biggest new feature was to automatically track bill payments. That's it!
Today it's possible to completely store your financial information online using services like Intuit's own Mint.com service, or what we recommend as the best personal finance service, Personal Capital.
However, these financial aggregation services tend to be read-only and are more for alerting or reporting your finances. Reconciliation and online bill pay aren't available with these types of services.
For individuals who prefer to stay with a locally installed program, there is Moneydance, or if you are looking for a native Macintosh software application there is Banktivity as well.
But none of the mentioned applications come close to Quicken in market share or the comprehensive personal finance features that make Quicken for Windows the leader in the industry.
Quicken for Windows Features
|$39.95 – $114.95
|Save up to 42%
|Mobile App
|Yes – Apple iOS and Google Android
|Online Synchronization
|Bill Payment
|Investment Monitoring
Quicken 2016 vs. Quicken 2015
Quicken 2016 for Windows is a very minor update. The major new features are:
- See, Track, and Pay Your Bills All in One Place — Link your bills, and Quicken will automatically track the due date and amount due.
- Free Phone Support — Phone support is available Monday to Friday, 5 AM to 5 PM PST, and you can use their online chat support 24/7.
- Easier Upgrades — Moving from Windows to Mac is easier for older versions of Quicken (2010 and greater).
- Better Reliability of Bank Downloads — Ability to eliminate duplicate transactions.
I'm not sure what to make of the listing of technical support as a "feature." Granted, I hope they have improved customer service, because judging by customer comments on Investor Junkie, support was horrible. I fortunately have never had to use customer service and did not test them for this review. In updating this review for Quicken 2016, I noticed Quicken has raised the price on most editions by $5.00. Which I assume is to cover the "free" phone support. In previous years, customers were charged for phone support after 60 days of use.
Quicken Bill Center
With I'm sure some help from Intuit's Mint Bills service, Quicken has improved its bill paying feature. Bill Center allows you to see, track and pay your bills all in one place. So instead of manually entering your mortgage, cable bill, and auto loan, Quicken can do this automatically for you. This is especially helpful if you link bills that vary month to month (e.g., your electric bill). So there's no need to change your automatic payment to a new amount each month. This new feature also helps with actual spending when watching your budget. A welcome and neat improvement. Unlike Quicken Bill Pay, there is no additional fee for this service.
New Features in Quicken 2015
- Portfolio X-Ray — Available with Premier and higher, you can get insights from Morningstar about your investment portfolio.
- Free Credit Score — This is something Intuit also added to their Mint.com service.
- Mobile Improvements — You can create spending graphs, and syncing occurs faster.
- Improved Options Trades — Ability to better handle options trades.
New Features in Quicken 2014
- Store and Save Receipts — You can take pictures of your receipts and store them within Quicken for later retrieval.
- Memorized Transactions Show Up in Register — This is perhaps the new feature I like best. Previously you had to enter memorized transactions, but this feature will display future events within the register before entering the transaction.
- Overall Speed Improvements — While I did not conduct exact performance tests, it seems Quicken 2014 was much more responsive.
- Mobile Synchronization Improvements — Many users complained how Quicken's mobile synchronization was broken in 2013. Intuit claims this feature has been improved, and my testing thus far confirms it.
- Budget Improvements — Users also complained about the budget changes in 2013's edition. Quicken added two options that should satisfy users who want their budget displayed while including and excluding specific transactions.
- More Connectivity Resolutions — Quicken 2014 makes it even easier to fix connectivity issues with your financial institution.
New Features Quicken 2013
- Quicken Mobile — First version of Quicken Mobile app for Apple and Android devices.
- Synchronization Improvements — Gave a step-by-step process to help with bank synchronization problems.
- New Budgeting Functionality — But many users complained about this new functionality, and it was improved in 2014.
Technical Requirements
Quicken's requirements have always been the middle to low lend-end of new computers. The specs listed below shouldn't be an issue if your hardware is less than three years old. These are similar specs needed to run Quicken 2011–2015. I would recommend a slightly more powerful machine than listed. Note that Quicken 2016 does not support Windows XP, which has been EOLed.
- CPU — 1 GHz (I recommend a more powerful CPU)
- Operating System — Windows Vista SP1, Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (32- and 64-bit)
- Memory — 1 GB or more (I recommend at least 2 GB; 4 GB or more being ideal)
- Hard Disk Space — Up to 450 MB, up to 1.5 GB if .NET is not already installed
- Display — 1024×768 or higher resolution, 1280×1024 for large fonts
- CD/DVD Drive — Recommended
- Internet — 56 Kbps (broadband recommended for online services)
- Sound — Sound card and speakers recommended
- Printer — Any printer supported by Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10
- Additional Software (included in Quicken installer) — Microsoft .NET 4.0 or later
Using Quicken for Windows on a Macintosh
I've been using Quicken since my first MS-DOS computer in 1992. Now that I am a Macintosh user, the question becomes how do I run Quicken for Windows on my Macintosh?
Even with the release of Quicken 2016 for Mac, it doesn't have every feature the Windows version has.
For some, there's still the need to use Quicken 2016 Premier for Windows.
One way is to use VMware Fusion. If you want to find out more about this process you can read my article, How to Run Quicken for Windows on a Mac.
The added benefit of virtualizing Windows is an additional layer of security, since no other software is installed on that instance. You don't have to worry about any rogue viruses or software compromising your finances. This technique is also possible when running a Windows-based machine.
- Most Comprehensive — The most complete personal finance software app. Can help to plan your future, for individuals just starting to people with multi-million-dollar portfolios and near retirement.
- Strong Portfolio Management — Allows the tracking of multiple financial portfolios with stock quote updates.
- Bill Pay — For banks that support it, you can write checks directly within Quicken's Bill Pay service. Web-based aggregation sites do not offer this service.
- Robust Budgeting — One of the more robust budgeting tools.
- Unknown Future — Intuit has sold Quicken and the future of the product is unknown.
- Synchronization Issues for Some Users — Some users have reported synchronization issues in previous editions, though it's mostly financial institution specific.
- Poor Customer Service — Intuit has a long history of poor customer service for Quicken, though they claim to have made improvements with this edition.
Quicken Review and Summary
Quicken is at the end of its life, at least with Intuit. Intuit has sold Quicken. Because of this, Quicken's future is somewhat unknown. We therefore cannot put it on our recommend list of best investment tools. I no longer use Quicken myself, preferring Personal Capital for the reasons mentioned.
New users might want to seriously consider Quicken, as it still has the most features of any personal finance app. And for individuals who want their data stored offline, Quicken is still your best bet.
The new centralized Bill Center is nice, though not a big enough reason to upgrade, since most bills are the same amount and due on the same date, something previous editions can easily automate.
Existing users of earlier versions who still want to use Quicken should probably upgrade to this version, as it does improve some of the previous annoyances. Hopefully, Intuit did not introduce new bugs in the process. I did not notice any bugs during my limited testing. I will update this review if I discover any issues from my longer-term tests. Readers please comment below with any of your issues.
I suspect many Quicken users have felt alienated by previous versions, and the sale announcement further seals the deal.
As I've mentioned previously, we are no longer recommending Quicken as the best personal finance software tool. We are recommending Personal Capital for individuals who need tools to focus on investment tracking, and Intuit's Mint for budgeting.

The first batter of the game set the tone for the rest of the night during Friday's Junior All-Star District 1 tournament at Governors Field.
Reno Continental's Josh Menante hit a ground ball back to Carson pitcher Josh Buchan, Buchan fielded the ball and threw into the ground skipping the ball past first basemen Derek Schafer advancing Menante to second.
It was that kind of night as Carson lost 13-3. Carson was eliminated, while Continental plays Centennial at 7:30 p.m. today at Governors for the district championship. Continental must beat Centennial twice to advance.
After a wild pitch and single Menante gave Reno a 1-0 lead.
Buchan would get out of the inning and Carson would fight back to tie the game in the bottom half of the inning.
A walk by Derek Schafer, a double by Daniel Morrison and a single by Delsin Roberts scored Schafer and tied the game.
It would stay tied until the third inning when the bounces started to go Reno's way.
A single, an infield single that could have resulted in an out, a bunt single that went between Buchan and Schafer on the right side of the infield and a hot-shot that was a potential double play ball went through the wickets giving Carson a 3-1 Reno lead.
Buchan showed some resilience after the defense let him down and got out of the inning leaving the bases loaded.
In the fourth inning, Reno took advantage of more Carson miscues. A lead off single, a passed ball, and error on a ball of the bat of Reno's Josh Rolling chased Buchan with the score 4-1.
Terin Keller came in and got an out on a comebacker but Rolling caught Carson sleeping on the play as heads up base running landed him at third. He scored on an infield single by Myles King. King stole second and reached third on an error. He then scored on a ground out to make it 6-1.
Carson cut the lead to 6-3 in the bottom of the fourth when the locals took advantage of two walks and a hit-by-pitch.
Colby Zemp made Reno pay with a 2 RBI single.
Reno came back with three runs in the fifth for a 9-3 lead. Continental stretched the lead to the final tally in sixth inning with four more runs.
