They Lie to You ALL the Time
The new consumer protection law governing credit card shady practices went into effect on Monday. And given that they had nine months to prepare for it they of course found other ways to cheat their customers.
Now, thanks to a long-awaited law you'll know that if you pay the minimum on a $3,000 balance with a 14 percent interest rate, it could take you 10 years to pay off. And they have to give you warning that they are going to raise your interest rates but it probably will still be in that incredibly small print at the bottom.
And during the past nine months, credit card companies jacked up interest rates, created new fees and cut credit lines. They also closed down millions of accounts. So a law hailed as the most sweeping piece of consumer legislation in decades has helped make it more difficult for millions of Americans to get credit, and made that credit more expensive.
Cannot just blame the credit card companies for lying and cheating. Let's talk television. During the economic depression many people have dropped their subscription TV services. I beat the rush. I watch the programs I like either on DVD's a season late but without commercials or on my computer via my boardband internet service. I was looking forward to the Olympics seen this way. No staying up for hours, just watching the performances I was interested in, etc. But ABC that has the exclusive has decided to post only very inferior videos of events like the figure skating. They are so blurry they make your eyes hurt. Sponsor of their video page for the Olympics - DirecTV. Guess I will wait for the DVD.
I am used to the telephone company lying to me. They have done it for decades. And there is nothing new about banks doing the same. But it frankly seems that everyone - especially all the "service" companies - lie all the time. Qwest is moving in with DSL into my neighborhood and telling everyone it will be cheaper than our satellite servers. But do read the small print. The price is only for two years and only with bundling with other services like DirecTV. So now all the companies are getting together and forming bands to lie to you.

Justice is blind, deaf and dumb
Went through another session with my lawyer to prepare me for trial on the 19th of March. First time we did this is was a lot more about fact finding for her case preparation. This time was more about posing questions that would actually be asked while I was in the witness box by either my attorney or the opposing attorney on cross. We prepped for two hours and then she informed my that my direct would likely be 2 1/2 and then it would be the other attorney's turn.
They want to prove that my intention was from the beginning to never pay my contractor. I want to prove that his intention was to cheat me because he thought he could. My attorney is confident I have the documentation to prove my point.
What amazes me about this whole process win or lose is the sorry state of our legal system (I deliberately did not use the word Justice because since OJ Simpson I don't think there is Justice in the system). Win or lose it will have taken more than two years of my life for what I regard as a frivolous claim. And if I had not gotten legal aid because of my financial situation it would have cost me $30,000 thus far. I was actually told by an attorney when all my efforts to arbitrate had been refused that I should just pay him because it would be cheaper than fighting him.
Too often people just do that. They bow to the "blackmail" and pay the piper because it will cost less than fighting for the truth and JUSTICE. Some years back a friend of mine was sued because a dog staying at her house (not hers) bit a kid that hurt it. The person bringing the suit was also a friend. Her line was, "But I am suing your insurance company. It won't cost you a thing." It did. The insurance company canceled after paying up out of court and she was forced to take the mortgage company "over the top" insurance premiums.
Lawyers and contractors think all they have to do is threaten and it will be settled out of court for some pricey but factious amount (the mother of the girl that got bit once claimed it ruined her ugly daughter's acting career - 20 stitches cost $30,000 plus plastic surgery). And who of us can afford to defend ourselves these days. My contractor wants enough more to have built my studio three times. And he never finished it once but I have already paid him twice his original estimate.
My friend with the dog abusing child has a home she bought with the pain and suffering money and still an ugly child who is now adult. The friend she sued has gotten cheaper insurance finally but the lawsuit of 20 years ago comes up every time she applies for any insurance. I may lose my house if I lose but my contractor is still a snake in the grass and no longer working as a contractor.
And the justice system is still really sick and up for sale to the highest bidder.

Who do you trust?
So what? Two blogs in two days, you ask. After like ten days with no blogs! Just goes to prove you cannot trust bloggers. And we don't have deadlines like newspapers. So live with it.
It just so happens that I found two closely related issues that inspired me in two days. I certainly do not trust Sarah Palin as readers of the blog before this clearly understand. And Gallup announced the results of its December poll on trusted occupations. That one is almost as much fun as the winners of the Darwin Award.
Seems the least trusted occupation in the United States is (drum roll please) Members of Congress. They narrowly beat out HMO Managers, car salesmen, Senators, lawyers and advertisers. Lawyers and advertisers have been on the bottom of the list for a long time. And Used Car salesmen in particular are not popular. Put you have to take this with a grain of salt because opinion pollsters were toward to bottom too.
Another poll rated the least trusted banks. Which brings up the question as to why bankers were not in that scum skimming list. One independent poll, the same one that rated pollsters so low, put stockbrokers in the bottom five. But I digress. The least favorite and trusted banks are: Bank of America, Chase, Capital One, TD/Commerce, Fifth Third, Citibank and HSBC. No surprises there other than who would name a bank Fifth Third? I certainly think the current economy, bank bailout, mortgage freezes, foreclosures and the constant increasing of "fees" on credit cards had a lot to do with this list. The economy coupled with executive bonuses probably even more so.
But not trusting your banker is nothing new. The old melodrama villains (like Snidely Whiplash above) were often bankers come to foreclose on the house of the poor struggling heroine Nell. And my parent's generation were raised with putting your cash under the mattress. My brother and I hid ours in different volumes of the World Book Encyclopedia when young. Where to keep your savings is no longer an issue as there are no savings anymore to keep.
A pollster called me recently to ask if I had 401K or mutual funds. Not any more. Did I foresee a time when I would have either again. No. Did any of my friends have 401K or mutual funds. This one took some thought because I do have some rich friends but they seem to have moved on to other investments like real estate and art. Did I know if they would be putting their funds back in investment firms in the future. Absolutely not. Especially after this new list.
So where in your house is the best place to hide money? Assuming, of course, you have some to hide at sometime in the future?

It has been too long, Baby
I will admit it. I have missed Sarah Palin. Say what you will about this future candidate for the highest office of this nation, but you have to admit she is entertaining. So were the Marx Bros. But fortunately none of them every tried to run for higher office.
Sarah, that Alaskan moose and wolf hunter of the previous campaign, who has denounced President Obama for using a teleprompter, was caught using crib notes on her palm. Quite obviously she failed to learn to cheat properly in school. Probably home schooled. There are serious loopholes in home schooling. You never write the answers on your palm, Sarah!
Palms sweat and you wind up with ink all over. But if you are going to use black ink the black dress was inspired. But like the key under the potted palm on the front door stoop the palms of the hands are all to obvious a place to hide the answers for a test. And unless you plan to keep your hands in your pockets it is quite definitely the wrong place to put your notes for a speech. Every junior debater knows that. And never use black ink. I was fond of the inside of my wrist under a long-sleeved shirt in red ink. Some teachers thought I was into self-mutilation.
And what was it Sarah feared she would not remember? Energy, Budget cuts (with "budget" crossed out), Tax, Lift American Spirits. Such a waste of palm space. And cheating. If you are going to cheat, cheat big. Things like the dates of all the Russian Revolutions, or all of Tolstoy's novels (or just the main characters of War and Peace), or all the countries of Africa and their capitals, or the spelling of words with more than four syllables. But if you cannot remember four big issues like energy, budget cuts, taxes and spirits of the American people go back to Wasilla, Alaska and shot moose.
Please note for future reference, Sarah, that moose are those huge things with the long hooked noses, and not the fleet, furry, dog-like creatures you shoot from a plane.

Yes, there is a law - several
Back to the issue of water and the west. Water, because of increasing demands on aquifers and surface water, will become a serious problem in most of the world. Even rainfall amounts are decreasing because of the clear cutting of rain forests in the tropical belt.
But I know best about my own backyard which is currently flooded because the man living downstream two lots decided to dam the little Coyote so he could have a pond. It was this summer a fairly crudely built dam and our major issue was a water thief that was diverting water two lots up stream and not putting it back until it skipped over five lots. The state engineer got him to stop his diversion just about the time winter settled in and the creek froze. Which meant the water logged earthen dam built down stream also froze. Which made it a lot more effective.
Now we have more water than we want. The Little Coyote topped its three to four foot banks and is spreading out across the lowlands to widths of 30 and 40 feet and about a third of my property. Upstream of me it is lapping at the sides of County Road B3 (Osha Road). And now we are a bit beyond the mandate of the state engineer's office.
New Mexico governs its water quite closely. The early Spanish settlers set up an acequia or water ditch system that carefully meted out surface water on the basis of acreage of land used for grazing and agriculture. The Mayordomo, or ditch boss, made assessments at the spring run off every year as to just how much water it appeared would be available for use. People that stole water, wasted water, spoiled water or impounded water were criminals on the level of horse and cattle thieves. Mike Nichols wrote humorously about it in his book Milagro Bean Field War. But it is a deadly serious topic here in the mountain west. People have been killed over less.
The problems arise in getting transplants for other states to take it seriously. "It is just water," is likely to be said by a Texan that relocated to the Sangre de Cristos and sees what appears to be abundance here as opposed to the panhandle. In the immortal words of John Wayne, "Those are fighting words." Here their are water rights, both surface and subsurface, and there are wrongs. Nobody owns a stream. You just borrow it as it rushes past you. And technically the same amount of water that entered your land has to exit it.
But at the moment we are into a jurisdictional issue. The stream is governed by the state engineer as part of the Mora Watershed. Fish and game also have a say because my tiny little trickle in mid summer is a nursery for baby Brown Trout. And then the EPA gets a say because the Little Coyote passes through a wetland which is protected by law. My property on the far side of the stream is marsh and attracts the most wonderful collection of birds and a species of the endangered salamander. Then there is Colfax County and the road department. The water is backing up through the culverts under a county road and forming another lake which daily keeps rising.
And it is a warm February. We keep having these little wet snows high in moisture and then warm days that melt it off and it all heads downstream - well, as far as that dam made for that pond which is impounding water and definitely impeding flow. Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter of The Incident of the Little Coyote soon to be a major motion picture.
Meanwhile I am e-mailing this blog to all relevant authorities.

The patrol was based to the west of Alnwick in mid Northumberland.
Late 1940 or early 1941
The Operational Base has not yet been located even after several leads and hours of wandering. It is
possibly just within the Dukes land and just east of Shipley.
Sgt Fred Kinch found the OB of the Swinhoe/Broomford patrol
while out with the hunt. A hound went into the escape tunnel. Fred followed quickly bringing the dog out but
realised exactly what he had stumbled upon. The hunt was quickly diverted away from the site and he said no more
about his chance find.
There are several targets for the patrol, the Alnwick to Alnmouth railway line with its viaduct to the east of
Alnwick. The Alnwick to Wooler railway line. This is to the west and north of Alnwick and seen as a possible route
of German invasion if paratroops were dropped at Wooler. There were more tunnels and bridges on the railway branch
lines along with the East Coast main line and the main A1 Edinburgh to London road. All had to be watched.
Locally on the Dukes estate away from public gaze. Also the Sgt. went to Coleshill and the patrol trained in Fife.
The "standard" Auxiliary weapons.
This was at the time a real fear. Military leaders were worried that if the Germans could get a foot hold in
Northumberland and cut off Scotland then England may have to seek terms.

Department of Communication Studies – Fall '13
Four programs are offered through the Department of
Communication Studies:
• Communication Studies-CMST: a major and a minor. Students are admitted
following an interview with the department chairperson.
• Culture and Communication-CLTC: a major. Students are admitted following
an interview with the program coordinator.
• Health Communication: a minor. Studies are admitted following an interview
with the program coordinator.
The BACHELOR OF ARTS in Communication Studies and the BACHELOR OF ARTS in Culture and Communication are recommended for students who want a broad liberal arts background as preparation for possible careers in public relations, business, law, education, government, social services, and other professions, or for graduate study.
All courses in the area of Communication Studies are open to non-majors, although some upper level courses have prerequisites.
Culture and Communication Courses
CLTC 10000-01, 02 Introduction Culture and
Communication LA
INSTRUCTOR: Donathan Brown, Muller 419, Ext. 4-7335
PREREQUISITES: None.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course explores the contribution from various perspectives within the Communication Studies tradition toward studying the relationship between culture and communication. To this end, students will be exposed to areas of inquiry complimenting the rise of cosmopolitanism. With specificity in mind, this course will cover such relationships as, (1) cultural forces and trends producing and defining cosmopolitanism (2) the cultural, racial and socio-political aspects present within cosmopolitan studies and (3) how these forces and trends are challenging dominant models of knowledge.
CLTC 48000-01 Senior Seminar in Culture and
Communication LA
INSTRUCTOR: Robert Sullivan, Muller 212, Ext. 4-3930
PREREQUISITES: Senior standing in culture and communication major; TVR 26200, CNPH 30000, CNPH 30100, OCLD 3400, or SPCM 32800.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course investigates the role of ethics in human communication. Ethics can be said to be engaged in any human action when three conditions are present; 1) when the action has an impact on others, 2) when the action is the result of a relatively unconstrained choice, 3) and when the action can be judged by some criteria of moral preferability. Communication is, by its nature, an interactive process and very often part of an intentionally, if not strategically, contrived decision-making system. Accordingly, it is most important that we make a systematic attempt to make moral sense of human communication.

CMST 12000-01, 02 Communication, Culture and
Rhetoric 1 HU LA
INSTRUCTOR: Christopher House, Muller 429, Ext. 4-3216
PREREQUISITES: None.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: In this course, we explore the idea that popular culture—the everyday messages to which the public is exposed, especially through mass media—is the dominant rhetorical, i.e., persuasive, influence in most people's lives today. Thus, we interrogate the rhetorical instruments or means by which we are influenced by popular culture, as we study the dimensions of our lives that are most affected, i.e., our social identities. Specifically, this course includes a close examination of the ways communicative processes (e.g., language, media, discourse) are used to construct dominant and non-dominant social identities, e.g., race, class, gender, sexuality, and how those identities are thus reproduced, internalized, contested and/or appropriated by society. This course provides students with a theoretical vocabulary for critically evaluating public, mediated, and culture-centered communication. The critical vocabulary, theories, and methods of criticism that organize this course are drawn from Media-centered, Marxist, Narrative/Dramatistic, Psychoanalytic, and Feminist schools of thought. Taught from a humanities perspective, the main goal of this course is to inform and to make students aware of the rhetorical influences in their everyday life and how those influences come to bear on the ways we perform our social identities.
COURSE FORMAT/STYLE: Lecture-discussion.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS & GRADING: Coursepack, papers, participation, regular quizzes.

Battle for Aleppo
The Syrian Army and rebels fight fierce battles in the center and north of Aleppo, as part of a major government offensive to retake the rebel stronghold. Gavino Garay reports.
The Syrian army has released video of a firefight between rebel and government forces in Aleppo. It's part of a major Russian-backed offensive by the Syrian government to retake the strategic city, which has become a focal point in the years-long war. Aleppo is the last urban stronghold of a revolt against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that began in 2011. Russian war planes also struck rebel-held areas north of Aleppo. Over the past several months, rebel fighters claim Moscow and the Syrian army have been targeting power plants, hospitals and bakeries in Aleppo to force the nearly 250,000 people trapped there to surrender. Rights groups have condemned an air strike on an Aleppo hospital, which France says constitutes a war crime. Rescue workers say at least 34 were killed in the fighting.

Dr Cheryl Hache Chiropractic
Let life inspire you every day to go out and chase your dreams. Take the lead, and take charge to make the decisions that will get you there.
Dr. Cheryl Macdonald DC
Dr. Cheryl is dedicated to bringing a service that goes above and beyond, to maximize the benefits of Chiropractic care. Dr. Cheryl provides a gentle approach for pregnant women and newborns, as well as traditional Chiropractic manipulation when needed.
Many people new to Chiropractic are not sure what to expect. Browse here to understand a little more of what who we are and what we do.
Dr. Macdonald's educational background
- Practicing Chiropractic since 2012
- Currently specializing in Pediatric care
- Webster - prenatal - certified
- Here to serve your specific needs
Why pediatrics are so important to Dr. Cheryl:
We all start out as babies, develop, and grow into adults and deal with issues that may have started when we were as young as infants. Chiropractic for infants has the amazing ability to correct issues before they become bigger issues.
My philosophy is to live to our fullest potential. Chiropractic looks at the minute details of stress to the nervous system by looking at the cranium, the spine, the muscular structure. By addressing the strain to our system, we allow the body to develop to its fullest potential.
This is a group of ladies eager to provide you with services that keep you doing what you love.
About the Doctor
" The spine houses the nervous system. Keep it moving, that is life giving."
Why Chiropractic?
" The spine houses the nervous system. Keep it moving, that is life giving."
When I start thinking about the purpose of life, it always brings me back to the body and how we only get to experience life if we are free to live without worry, or fear or pain. So often, there is something we can do about all of those things, but we need to BElieve that change is possible, that good things are possible, that we are more in control of our circumstance than we have been led to believe. That is the purpose that drives me to share Chiropractic with everyone, whether you are young or old, we see great changes in anyone who really BElieves they can change for the better, it's simply a matter of learning, doing, encorporating daily routines that bring you to life, versus away from life.
Starting out as an undergraduate student, health quickly became a priority in her personal life, it took years to figure out where she would best serve others as a health care practitioner.
This passion led Dr. Cheryl to explore all fields that help us heal, and Chiropractic really fit in with her belief system that lifestyle decisions we make every day are extremely important when striving for a happy, healthy, and long life.
Dr. Cheryl believes that everyone should have the best of the best when it comes to healthcare, and that everyone deserves to feel their best for all the years they live.
What Dr. Cheryl does, is specific Chiropractic mobilization and manipulation these mobilizations can be extremely gentle, what we call tonal technique or the quick movements that reset motion with an audible sound. Dr. Cheryl pairs this with specific advice to get you on track to optimizing the health of you nervous system and body. You may or may not hear a crack, and there are several techniques used to make sure it is the technique that you are most comfortable with.
It is no secret that pain and tension in the body contributes to a less than ideal level of happiness and quality of life. Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to address general physical and neurologic stress. When we explore Chiropractic beyond pain, we get so many comments on what has changed beyond the pain. It is a wonderful to explore the effects of Chiropractic beyond what many of us consider it.
Those who choose Chiropractic care for life begin to feel healthier and make better choices in their life. It is with that in mind, that Dr. Cheryl likes to think of patients as members of her family where like-minded individuals can encourage each other to stay informed about making healthy decisions.

Ontario music retailer Sunrise Records is planning on expanding into several former HMV locations through-out Canada this spring.
This chain's nine stores are currently located in the province of Ontario and the company has been negotiating to take over 70 former HMV locations according to the Globe and Mail.
Unfortunately this will not include the flagship store at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto and several key street level locations in Canada. But the retailer is hoping to become profitable in 2018 regardless of their inability to secure these locations.

Customizing the Web
WARNING — An overenthusiastic developer with ksnapshot post.
Something fun I came across while watching Prism being developed is adding bits of Javascript to pages to change their behavior and look. Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that helps you manage these Javascript files and applies these files to web pages. While fun and sometimes handy, I haven't found it overly useful.
I then came across Stylish, another extension except this one changes CSS. When combined with some good stylesheets, they make for a good, sometimes drastic changes (click on the preview for a bigger picture) :
Google reader with a Mac OS theme. Oooh, pretty.
Youtube. Despite not having Flash in this profile, I couldn't resist.
After finding a few cool ones for google maps, I made it into a prism web bundle (not perfect) to make it look more like a desktop application.
What's really nice is that Google maps did not change, I changed Google maps. If this was a Flash application, I certainly wouldn't know how to do it. I can guess that it would be a lot more work. Then again, Flash can do things that the web yet can't. But we'll get there.

Your gmap webapp is working great ! And Prism is really a cool idea. It's too bad we can't control the behavior of prism apps with javascript (I hope one day we will be able to have prism+greasemonkey).

Design a Logo for Smoky Mountain Slam - Event Artwork
- Tila: Closed
- Palkinto: $54
- Vastaanotetut työt: 12
- Voittaja: nitabe
Kilpailun tehtävänanto
I just added several examples. The "[login to view URL]" is close to what I want. Give me some good mountains such as in the other example pics I added and tie it all together. I want the "[login to view URL]" silhouettes of the wrestlers with mountain landscape (rounded caps not sharp peaks on top of mountains). Use the mat (circle the wrestlers are standing on in "[login to view URL]") and tie it into the foot of the mountains. Use nice circle with banner if you need to but I want it surrounded by something like that such as a crest. Something to enclose the sides of the mountains to tie it together. If you can make the sides of the mountains tie into the circle/mat the wrestlers are standing on that would work. I need someone talented with line-art in illustrator. Not just piecing clip art together. Thanks to all entries so far but please use the latest instructions.
thanks and good luck!!
Smoky Mountain Slam Event Atwork/Logo
Ok here's what I want... The logo/arwork needs to have a mountain landscape in the background. I want a scholastic wrestler similar to the uploaded image to be part of the mountains which would be in the background. This event is for young adults so if you could make the guy not look quite as mean as the included image... that would be great. He needs to look intimidating but not upset. I have included information below about the type of wrestling and about the Smoky Mountains. I want the guy to come out of the mountains... use your artistic imagination... make it fun!!
I envision the "Smoky Mountain" text to go above, and the word "SLAM" to be a big impact at the bottom. You can use capital letters with Smoky Mountain if you like.
This artwork will be used as a center point for the website and will also be used in marketing materials and on t-shirts. Please create in Adobe Illustrator leaving easily customized layers. Please keep it to 3 colors. I want it to have a lot of impact. You can use gradients but please make where I can remove gradients and use solid colors for screen printing such as tshirts.
Another note: If you have a good understanding of the event and what I want, then feel free to go outside these directions. I don't want to limit your artistic imagination. These instructions are only what I have envisioned.
Event Info (type of Wrestling):
The event will be a coaching/training event for young scholastic wrestlers ages 5-18. The coaches will consist of former national championship athletes. Please keep in mind this is not wrestling in the form of entertainment ([login to view URL] - not this), but actual competition (such as [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] ). Ideally the artwork should contain headgear/protection on the individual such as in the included image. Don't need to emphasize the headgear just as long as it is somewhat noticeable.
The Smoky Mountains - Gatlinburg, TN
The event will be hosted in the Great Smoky Mountains. The name "Smoky" comes from the natural fog that often hangs over the range and presents as large smoke plumes from a distance. [login to view URL] Now I added this info so you would understand that the Smoky Mountains do not have sharp rocky peaks but a smoother crest. Maybe a little snow on top but not ice.
There are a multitude of Smoky Mountain style logos and artwork that tie in the mountain landscape. The following is a google search that should give you an idea - [login to view URL]
Have fun and may the best artwork win!!

Retention Knobs and Other Small Tools Play Big Roles in Machine Shops
Retention knobs, by definition, are knobs that get screwed into the ends of tool holders and work to lock tools in place within the spindle. Though they are quite small, simple, and seem relatively unimportant on their own, they play a valuable role in the machining and manufacturing industries. Without them, tool holders would fail to be as effective and all kinds of tasks could become inaccurate and inefficient. Those problems could cost businesses time and money that simply can't be wasted in today's ultra-competitive marketplace. Because of that, every owner should take the time to make sure they are properly using retention knobs and all kinds of other tools, no matter how small, to help ensure efficiency.

Ozzie Virgil (virgioz01)
Osvaldo Jose Virgil Pichardo
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 0", Weight 175 lb.
- High School DeWitt Clinton High School
- Debut September 23, 1956
- Final Game June 27, 1969
- Born May 17, 1932 in Monte Cristi, Monte Cristi, Dominican Republic
Biographical Information[edit]
Ozzie Virgil was credited for breaking the color barrier for the Detroit Tigers in 1958, and had five hits in his first game as a Tiger. He was the very first of the hundreds of major leaguers who were born in the Dominican Republic. He emigrated to the United States at fourteen in 1947 and began playing baseball in the 1950s while with the United States Marine Corps. He was signed by the New York Giants to a contract in 1953. In addition to his major league career, he played 13 seasons (1953-1956, 1958-1960, 1962-1964 and 1966-1968) in the minor leagues, 10 of which were at AAA. He had 3 years with batting averages of over .300. Incredibly, the free-swinging Virgil walked only 34 times in nearly 800 career major league plate appearances.
Virgil was a coach for the San Francisco Giants (1969-1972 and 1974-1975), Montreal Expos (1976-1981), San Diego Padres (1982-1985) and Seattle Mariners (1986-1988). For the last three stops, he accompanied manager Dick Williams, with whom he had become a close friend and confidant during the latter's time as Expos' manager. In 1989, he was a coach for the St. Petersburg Pelicans of the Senior Professional Baseball Association.
During the winter months Virgil played with the Mayaguez Indians in the Puerto Rican League and with Aguilas and Escogido in the Dominican League, both of which he would later manage. He also managed the Cardenales de Lara, Leones del Caracas, Tiburones de La Guaira and Tigres de Aragua of the Venezuelan League and the Mazatlan Venados in the Mexican Pacific League.
He is the father of catcher Ozzie Virgil Jr.

Romans 12ff. Through the Eyes of a Disciple: The Four Models of Discipleship
The Four Models of Discipleship Introduction How can Christians change if we don't even know whether we are changeable are not? On the one hand we are supposed to be evangelizing the world, but on…
Source: Romans 12ff. Through the Eyes of a Disciple: The Four Models of Discipleship
One Response
Interesting and informative article. Food for thought; thank you, Paul.
If we are not changeable, then I might as well go right now and jump off the nearest bridge and kill myself, and it would have no eternal consequence at all; in fact, denying that we do change at the New Birth amounts to throwing Jesus' death and resurrection back in God's face, saying, "What was that all about? That all you got?"
The New Birth is just that…new! When Jesus said, "Ye must be born again," He meant totally, spiritually NEW. He did not say, "Uh..[cough]..you need to be born again sort of…just a little part of you maybe..I don't know…ask Calvin, peace be upon him, when he comes…"
And as for having two natures; that is borderline mentally ill. What? Borderline?

Diagnosis and Testing
A diagnosis of Fragile X is made through a DNA test, usually blood test but a cheek swab is possible. You can organise the test though your GP or paediatrician or any medical doctor.
The blood can be collected by your doctor or a pathology centre. Test results are usually available approximately 4 to 8 weeks after the sample is taken but the time taken can vary.
The test that is required is DNA studies for Fragile X syndrome. Five to ten mls of blood will be collected into a lithium heparin or EDTA tube. Your your doctor will check which anticoagulant is required by the laboratory. The blood is then transported immediately without freezing.
Tests for Fragile X carried out before 1991 may not be correct and the results of cytogenetic tests since then may be inaccurate. People who were tested before 1991 or who have only had a cytogenetic test should have a DNA test.
The position of Fragile X Association of Australia on diagnosis and screening is included on this website at:

Centre for Research and Restoration of the Museums of France
The Research Laboratory of the Museums of France (LRMF), founded in 1931, is one of the oldest and largest laboratories in the museum sector. Installed at the foot of the Pavilion de Flore, since February 1995, the LRMF covers a vast floor space (5000 sq.m.) arranged on three levels and assumes a central role in the interplay between "Art and Science". The
C2RMF results of the recent fusion, in December 1998, of the Research Laboratory of Museums of France and the Restoration Service of the Museums of France.
The C2RMF employs some 300 people belonging to the public and private sector (restorers). They are involved in 3 main areas of activity :
- Social sciences (curators, librarians and administrative staff),
- Pure sciences (researchers, engineers and technicians) appointed by the Research and Technology Mission of the Ministry of Culture and Communication, some representatives of the CNRS and CEA,
- public and private restorers.
The C2RMF has an on-going internal research programme. As a national service, it also responds to requests of curators, art historians and archaeologists of all museums in France. Its key activities focus on the study of public works-of-art at a national and territorial
level. Investigations are made prior to acquisition, restoration and exhibition. These functions are aimed at safeguarding the national heritage (restoration-conservation) as well as enhancing the cultural value of collections (through dating and authentication). Equipped with up-to-date scientific techniques for analytical researches, the C2RMF has focused its research on several key areas:
- research in history of art and history of techniques: physico-chemical characterisation of materials, non-destructive examination technique development and application etc.
- research in conservation-restoration: methods and chemical product property control and applications, ageing of materials, control of stability, protection coating, etc.
- research in preservation : environmental conditions, transport, stability, durability, biological degradation, etc.
- research in information technologies : database and databank management, image analysis and treatment, digitisation of films, 3D-R digitisation, multi-lingual indexing standardisation etc.
The C2RMF legal statute underlines its national mission to give scientific data access (reports as well as images), to the professional community. The computer electronic documentation management of these scientific information resulting from internal technical studies or acquired during restoration process, can solve the on line access by network.
Two large size multi-lingual electronic databases have been built in the framework of European projects:
1989-1992 project partner VASARI (DGIII),
1990-1994 project co-ordinator NARCISSE (DGXIII),
1996-1997 project partner VISEUM (DGXIII),
1997-1998 project partner MENHIR (DGIII),
1997-1998 project partner COST (DGXII),
1997-1999 project partner ACOHIR (DGIII),
1999-2000 project co-ordinator CRISTAL (DGX)
2000-2002 project partner ARTISTE (IST)
2001-2004 project co-ordinator CRISATEL (IST)
2001-2002 project assistant-partner CHERI (IST)
2002-2005 project partner SCULPTEUR (IST)
The multilingual painting database contains :
- 15.000 museological work files,
- the scientific and technical photo-archive files on 160.000 photographic and radiographic films made till 1931,
- 140.000 ultra-high definition digital images (6.000x8.000) are archived on 1100 CD-R,
- and the content of 4.000 reports which are partly published on html pages.
This database is available by all the internal professionals through Intranet. A part of this database (2.000 paintings and 20.000 full screen images) is also available on the Web-site of the Ministry of Culture.
The object database built with the same architecture than the previous one is made of
- more than 30.000 works of art (archaeological objects and art objects),
- 36.000 radiographic and photographic films as well as new 2D-R high definition digital images (2.000x3.000) for 3D animation (ACOHIR project),
- and 2.600 scientific reports.
This scientific electronic information opens a new way of applications :
- the automatic retrieval of objects by means of textual data,
- the automatic retrieval of objects by means of the image
content :
colour, texture and structural information,
- the visual access to images details,
- the automatic reports images integration to suppress progressively the image reproduction of on photographic paper,
- a simplified management of the slide,
- a simplified registration of the films,
- the following of the electronic study report in progress,
- the diffusion of multimedia products,
- the enlarged diffusion of the scientific data by Internet

You've heard it time and time again, personal projects are almost a necessity as a freelance web professional.
In this post, we'll explain (once more) why personal projects are important for freelancers. We'll also brainstorm with you on how to get started on a personal project of your own. Finally, we'll give you some tips on how to monetize your project.
A Personal Project Can Keep You Current
As a web professional in general, even if you don't freelance currently, you should keep up with the ever-changing technology and coding practices. A great way to keep up is to build a personal project.
Maybe you can start by taking a page out of Davy Kestens' book and building a site dedicated to your passion such as his Run Addicts website.
It's great to develop a playground that you can have accessible to test out new forms of coding, new languages you are learning or even new design techniques.
A Personal Project Can Increase Your Income
Aside from the learning aspect, depending on the website you choose to build as a side project, you have the opportunity to increase your monthly income (or just possibly build a cushion to fall back on during the slow months).
Depending on the success of your side venture, you could even find yourself running that site 80% of your time instead of just the initial 10% as planned. You may eventually be able to use your side project as your main source of income.
Getting Started on a Personal Project
There are many directions you could take to get started with a personal project.
Side projects could consist of:
- CMS Themes–There are dozens of CMS out there, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, ModX, etc. All of these systems use themes as a way to spruce up the overall look of their product and stock themes. Let's face it. There are a lot of very basic or unappealing themes out there. You can earn money by making themes or selling themes to other sites.
- Phone Apps–Making iPhone applications or BlackBerry applications can easily increase awareness of your work. Creating these applications is a great way to learn new languages as well as design techniques.
- Web Articles, E-Books, Books, etc.–Writing is a good release as well as being very relaxing. Start with a personal blog, then progress to writing for other blogs. Maybe you could even sit down once or twice a week to write a page or two for a book or e-book. This could be a great way to earn an income, learn more about yourself, or give you a reason to learn something new to put into the book or article you are writing.
- An informational site–You have hobbies … you may not notice it, but you do. Poker, Baseball, Hockey, Sketching, Cars, Knitting… Whatever it is, there is always an opportunity to increase awareness of your services or spread your ideas about the certain hobby. Create a website in which visitors have a chance to interact with the site. Include reviews, ratings, chats, comments, etc.
Now that we've given you a few ideas for creating a personal project, we'll talk more about how you can earn money with your project.
How to Monetize Your Personal Project
Right now, you may already have a personal project. You may be thinking to yourself, "okay, this project is done, but how do I create a way to generate income for myself through this website?"
Well, sometimes generating income is the labor-intensive part. Here is an idea. Go out and find advertisers for the website, or find an online banner company to set up sidebar ads on your website.
Everything starts with marketing, regardless of what type of product or website you have. Generating traffic is a great asset when trying to find
companies or people who are willing to advertise on your website.
Advertisers want to know what they are getting for their money, and that they are not just tossing it away. Have analytics ready for your advertisers. They will most likely ask about your hits, time spent on site, page views, new visitors per month, etc.
Improving Your Personal Project
Of course, when building a personal project you always have those ideas in mind of how you can improve things. Improvement is always a huge part of being an entrepreneur, whether you are small or large.
Look for ways to increase your traffic and user interaction with the site through comments, emails, sales, etc. There are many resource sites that are around to help you out with any questions that you may have.
Visit FreelanceFolder's great forums, which are available to the public. There are many knowledgeable professionals on these forums, all of whom seem very willing to help in any way possible.
Your Turn
If you have some personal projects, I'd love to see them. Share some background information about your projects, the technologies you used, and possibly even share your inspiration for the project?
Don't be shy, let's see them!

Happy New Year!
I've published a new version of IsWiX with a pretty important (to me and a few of my customers) bug fix. I actually did the work yesterday and couldn't decide if I wanted it to be the only release of 2016 or the first release of 2017. Silly, I know… that and the evenings festivities were calling.
Anyways let's talk about the fix. The files and folder designer code is a bit scary. I didn't write it and I appreciate the efforts of the person that did. That said, it had a pretty bad performance issue. Most people only put a handful of directories and files in any given merge module so most people would have never seen it. However if you are working on website and find yourself dealing with 1000 directories and 10,000 files in a single merge module it suddenly becomes quiet unusable.
But first a back story….
Many people probably don't know that IsWiX had a design goal of creating sorted documents with deterministically unique (predictable) Id attributes and GUIDs. The reason for this was the company I worked at did *A LOT* of branching and merging and we wanted to make it as easy as possible to branch and merge IsWiX generated .WXS files.
So every time Files and Folders updates it's model it resorts the XML. This usually isn't a problem. However on really large documents it can take 5-10 seconds depending on machine performance. When doing a drag and drop the process would go something like this. Write the XML for a directory, sort, process subfolders recursively. So if you dragged a folder with say a 1000 subfolders you would see it get visibly slower and slower until it bogged down so bad you walked away hoping it would finish or just terminated the process.
I've done a simple fix remove the sort step and do a final sort at the end. Now you see it update all the directories in the UI very quickly, a 5-10 second wait as it does the sort and done. If your documents aren't that large you probably won't notice a difference at all.
You can get the new release here.
PS- It seems certain browsers have been complaining about anything downloaded from CodePlex. That really sucks. IsWiX (and the WiX Toolset) is as safe as always. If you have problems downloading just use a different browser. If you still get issues be sure to "unblock" the file before installing.

Just intonation, in music, system of tuning in which the correct size of all the intervals of the scale is calculated by different additions and subtractions of pure natural thirds and fifths (the intervals that occur between the fourth and fifth, and second and third tones, respectively, of the natural harmonic series; see overtone). Supposedly used in medieval monophonic music (melody only, without harmony) and considerably discussed by theorists, just intonation proved impractical for polyphonic (multipart) music and was replaced at least by the year 1500 by meantone temperament.

That Addison County might be the location of one of the state's largest solar farms is exciting news in as much as it is another example of "green energy" being built for a future that is not so directly tied to fossil fuels. It is exciting, too, because when new technologies for such basic commodities as energy are used locally, that often sparks a corresponding interest in jobs related to that field — among students of solar energy, as well as niche businesses that might one-day feed into the solar energy industry.

I always thought I'd be able to tell folks exactly where I was when I decided to run my first long-distance race. You know, one of those sobering, psych-yourself-up moments you never forget.
Turned out to be quite the anti-climax, really. We were riding in the car around four months ago when our son, Mark, blurted out, "Dad, we're running the half-marathon in Burlington this May."
"Thanks for signing me up, son," I believe I muttered under my breath. "Did you put me down for the firing squad, too?"
The 2010 Vermont election cycle will feature competitive races for many statewide offices, including secretary of state. After 12 years as secretary of state, Deb Markowitz is stepping down to run for governor. In recent years, several secretaries of state have gone on to become candidates for higher offices, including Markowitz, Jim Douglas (secretary of state from 1980 to 1992), and, for those with longer memories, Jim Guest (secretary of state from 1976 to 1980).
Even amid the rumbling of road construction in downtown Middlebury, you can hear the sound of their absence. The sound that isn't a sound.
It's the time of year when for just a couple quiet weeks, Middlebury gets fully handed back to the people who live here. The decibel level drops by double digits, the pace slows to that of a true small town, and suddenly all the faces you see are familiar ones.

The Case For Lowercase
Recently, Chris Sacca, former Head of Special Initiatives at Google, announced that his new venture firm, Lowercase Capital, had raised $8.5 million. Sacca has raised $8.5 million for what is essentially an angel fund targeting web startups. While larger venture firms often deploy more than $8.5 million in a single deal, Sacca's fund provides start-ups with something much more valuable than just capital: "time, attention, and the empathy that catalyze winning outcomes for all involved," as he puts it. As I mentioned in my previous post, the cost of starting an internet company has fallen dramatically, so much so that angel investors (or "micro VCs") may come to dominate early-stage investments in the internet sector. This is especially true since traditional firms find it difficult to deploy their funds at that level and often lack the personnel to do so in a truly meaningful way. Traditional VC isn't dead; it just isn't as competitive as it used to be at the earliest stages of internet investing.
Sacca does a good job of laying out some of the reasons why "venture capital is broken" when it comes to investing in internet startups:
"Today, web services can be conceived, architected, tested, and deployed to millions of users for little incremental cost beyond rent and Ramen noodles for the entrepreneurs. Yet, many traditional VC funds have been loath to admit this reality and downsize their five hundred million dollar hauls. Why? They are paid fees based upon their total amount of money managed, thus there is no incentive for them to be smaller. Yet, as they try to inject those piles of money into early stage companies, interests become misaligned and an inherent conflict between the investor and the founder often arises. Fund returns, the companies, the entrepreneurs, and the users all suffer as a result."
It's a rather harsh take but there is truth to his argument – there is now a huge disconnect between most venture capitalists and web entrepreneurs, and part of the solution is smaller pools of capital and dedicating more time to collaborating and working with entrepreneurs. It doesn't necessarily have to be Lowercase's approach (although it does address the problem directly), it can also be done through larger firms - they just need the discipline to invest smaller pools or simply set aside portions (and even staff) of larger funds for seed internet investments, otherwise they risk losing ground in the space.
Who are investors in Sacca's fund? I'm not 100% sure but I know Kevin Rose is one. This brings about another aspect of the new angel/micro VC phenomenon – institutional investors could be left out. Instead, angels or micro VCs, are increasingly investing their own money or raising funds from other like-minded colleagues, entrepreneurs and investors. This works perfectly well because, again, the fund sizes are relatively small and when given the choice, you want like-minded, understanding, and potentially helpful limited partners.
Stepping back, as angles investment comes to dominate early stage internet investing, we may be seeing a bubble of sorts. The best are great at what they do, but those looking to mimic will probably suffer, just as "me too" venture firms have struggled. It seems as though angel funds are popping up all over the place these days. Are these angles and "micro VCs" restricting dealflow to the larger firms? In some cases yes, but you also often see them investing alongside the traditional venture firms that get this space. Plenty of traditional venture firms have recognized the shift occurring in seed internet investments and are active in this style of investing (and will probably be the most successful). Some examples are Spark Capital, Sequoia (though they kind of outsource their seed involvement through Y combinatory), and Charles River Ventures. There is undoubtedly a fascinating new venture ecosystem developing for early-stage internet companies and it will be very interesting to monitor its continued evolution – Lowercase capital is simply the latest reminder of where things are heading.

Pillars, Papers and Practicality
Thank you again for taking the time to read my blog. I realize that much of my last couple entries have been devoted to inane babble about New York (New York is pretty awesome), so I appreciate you bearing with me. For this one, I want to try something a little more focused. I realize that the vast majority of my friends are educated, intelligent and experienced in a variety of fields, and I would like to take advantage of that as well, and run a couple ideas past you guys. I will also edit this time. I have recently realized that I never regret editing, and I should really incorporate it into my life more. Not just in writing. One of the things I've been trying to do while I'm here in New York is find some contacts that I can use to do research for my Major Research Paper (which is like a Thesis, but I don't have to defend it). I want to do something that will be useful for people working in "The Field". (The Field is an abstract location where you interact directly with the beneficiaries of projects and programmes you are working on, rather than just reading the progress reports or looking at the pictures in a glossy booklet you stole from the UNDP office. For the record, I don't steal.) Now, as a research parameter, "useful in the field" is clearly very broad (What is useful? What is "The Field"?), so let me try to narrow it down a bit more. I am interested in how international organizations manage human-caused disasters (intentional, civil, or political disasters; read wars, organized crime, terrorism, riots), especially in fragile or developing contexts. By studying the successes and failures of international efforts, and by applying concepts of disaster and emergency management, I want to be able to make recommendations for the management of future situations. When I explain this idea, many people's first reaction is "Oh, that's not what we do here." Most people don't think of conflicts, etc, as "disasters" (they think disasters are natural: earthquakes, famines, floods) and therefore managing them is not thought of as "disaster management". I've had this discussion a bunch of times. Here is an, I hope, elucidatory quote from a book on social vulnerability and structural violence called "At Risk": "Disasters, especially those that seem principally to be caused by natural hazards, are not the greatest threat to humanity. Despite the lethal reputation of earthquakes, epidemics and famine, a much greater proportion of the world's population find their lives shortened by events that often go unnoticed: violent conflict, illnesses, and hunger – events that pass for normal existence in many parts of the world, especially (but not only) in less developed countries (LDCs). Occasionally earthquakes have killed hundreds of thousands, and very occasionally floods, famines or epidemics have taken millions of lives at a time. But to focus on these (in the understandably humanitarian way that outsiders do in response to such tragedies) is to ignore the millions who are not killed in such events, but who nevertheless face grave risks. Many more lives are lost in violent conflict and to the preventable outcome of disease and hunger. Such is the daily and unexceptional tragedy of those whose deaths are through 'natural' causes, but who, under different economic and political circumstances, should have lived longer and enjoyed a better quality of life." So when an estimated five million people die in Congo as a result of poverty, rape, and hunger, as well as violence directly resulting from the ongoing conflict, that is a disaster. 5 million deaths, I would argue, is a bigger disaster than pretty much anything since World War II, including a large number of epidemics, tsunamis and hurricanes. Before that, the last comparable disaster was probably the bubonic plague. Don't quote me on that please. 2 million people have died in the Sudanese Civil War that resulted in the recent creation of South Sudan. 500 000 plus have died in Somalia since that Black Hawk went down. Those are only deaths, too. Tens of millions have been displaced, lost their families, their livelihoods, been injured, raped, etc. And clearly, my focus here is central Africa, but this says nothing of ongoing civil/political disasters in Syria, Palestine, Mali… I don't think anyone can argue that these are not disasters. So now that we agree on that (and thank you for still being here, those who agreed from the start), I think we can also agree that what the UN does, and the African Union, NATO, the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, etc, etc, in conflict areas is absolutely disaster management. And indeed, it even fits the model of comprehensive emergency management (CEM). CEM, FYI, is a combination of Mitigation, Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery (look at that Paul I learned from you!). For emergency management to be successful, these five things should ideally occur at the same time. What that looks like practically is that while a community recovers from a disaster, they should be simultaneously mitigating, preventing and getting ready for the next one. To use a local (for me) example, instead of just building another Twin Towers, New York is building an uber hella bomb proof Liberty Tower, amping up the police and fire personnel in the city, and making everyone go through crazy customs on their way through the airport, all of which are designed not just to help the city recover from 9/11, but also to prevent and prepare for another attack, and reduce the potential for harm if another attack occurs (mitigation). (I should disclaim here that there is a huge series of debates among emergency managers about the idea of "homeland security", the least of which is that mitigation and preparedness should not focus on the disaster that just happened but on the one that is most likely to happen next – so the Liberty Tower should really be stopping global warming and curing Ebola instead of resisting bombs. This was just a simplified example, so please don't get carried away with the comments anyone). Back to my point: conflict management = emergency management. So what I have been exploring here in the big apple is how the UN manages complex humanitarian emergencies that involve human-caused disasters. I have met with a few very interesting people, and am planning to meet more, and I am gaining an idea of what is done, what can be done, and what "should" be done by the international community when it comes to managing human-caused disasters. It is very complex and incredibly broad. Everything from capacity building in conflict or fragile contexts to disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, to military intervention is arguably part of the comprehensive emergency management of human-caused disasters. Even addressing injustice and inequality is part of it, because without injustice, wars wouldn't start in the first place. In fact, some would say that addressing injustice is the MOST important. I would say, just as in CEM theory, all these things need to happen at the same time, as they are all pillars of an effective emergency management strategy. So here's the problem: What should I study? I can't say "the international community should do everything". That would be either an incredibly short or an impossibly long research project. If I narrow my focus to the effectiveness of one certain intervention (say, for example, I study how effective reintegration of child soldiers by DPKO has been in western Congo) is that actually going to make a noticeable contribution? How much would this one little piece of knowledge strengthen the portico that is disaster management? Would it even do much for one pillar? In reality, my little contribution would probably just be a grain of sand mixed into the concrete that made the pillar. Of course, some research can be incredibly significant. If my hypothetical paper is a grain of sand, then I might argue that some research projects are more like rocks that got mixed into the concrete, so they bear a bit more of the weight of the pillar. Some bigger rocks, some smaller. That experiment with the dogs that salivated when the bell rang – that was definitely a huge rock in a psychology pillar. I mean, so huge and obvious that it probably disfigured the pillar. Same with that experiment with the people that got designated as prison inmates and the guards and they internalized their roles. I'm obviously not arrogant enough to think that my research could be a disfiguringly huge rock in an emergency management pillar, but it would be nice if it was noticeable. Or useful, I suppose. Structural. Like maybe a golf-ball-sized rock that is part of the foot at bottom of the pillar; you don't see when you walk by it but it helps hold the thing up. Ok, that pillar thing got out of hand. Suffice to say that I am struggling with focusing my research ideas because I want my paper to be practical. Any insights or advice?

Wow. It has been WAY too long since my last post!
I see I still have 24 followers.
I'm guessing this is because it's a pain to delete people ;-)
Or maybe you were holding out hope that I just may one day decide to post again!
I have been busy. VERY busy. It's called .. a newborn.
I'm sure you understand (since most of you have kids!) although some of you have MORE kids than me and still manage to post most days - SHEESH how DO you DO IT?!
Anyway, like I said, I've been busy - too busy even to be reading YOUR posts which is shocking! I miss having time to sit back and have a good nosey at all the cool ideas and stories you all write about .. but that explains why I haven't been commenting on your posts!
I have managed a couple times to read over your stuff - but it's a very rare occasion. In fact I have to pause writing this because newbie is whinging for some more milk ..
..and is now half-napping on my shoulder (one handed typing is so much slower!).
So I'll cut this ramble short.
I just found out a great 'new' invention - popping popcorn in bags in the microwave, but not the store-bought kind! It's much healthier! You can put whatever toppings you want on - or none at all!
Get a paper bag.
(mine weren't square-bottomed - I got a pack of 100 Homebrand ones for a few $ from Countdown)
Add a couple Tablespoons of popcorn kernels.
Fold the edge over 3 times and microwave for 3min, or until the popping stops :-)
So easy and much healthier AND sooo much cheaper than store-bought bags!
(note - this is probably old news to a lot of you since I found quite a few sites with this info on .. but it was new news to me so thought I'd share anyway!)
Hope this year is treating you well so far :-)

Right, that's why I said that this decision would be secondary. I just prefer pseudo classes, not least for ':link' already is one. The selector ':emphasis' could not only apply to Markdown's '_' but also to HTML's 'em' element type, besides the usual selector 'em'. I don't see that happening for a selector called 'emphasis'.Received on Wednesday, 11 May 2011 16:35:26 UTC

Yesterday morning hubby took his wedding ring to the jewelery store where we bought it 18 years ago and had it re-sized. And he is wearing right now!
It makes me smile!
It is actually still a little tight so we'll see what happens, he may have to take it back and have it done again – they just used that ring sizer and the little hammer today to stretch it a little. I think he may have to take it back and pay some money and have them actually make the band larger.
Anyway…. I am thrilled that he finally did this. During our "talk" on Tuesday I brought it up and said that he said he was going to do it a long time ago and he still hadn't. He said he was going to, he just hasn't had time. I said that if it was a priority then he would have made time and blah blah blah.
He went this morning, and didn't even tell me. And then Kid2 noticed it at supper and said "Dad! You're wearing your bling!" and that is when I saw it too. (He had been asleep until the kids woke him up for dinner. )
It makes me smile because he knows it is important to me and that is why he did it. And that is awesome.

The Russian Т-90S main battle tank is often called a "flying" tank. It weighs just 46.5 tons, far less than many foreign built tanks. The T-90S is almost unique in terms of rate of fire and it is capable of destroying many types of armor at the range of up to five kilometers.
The T-90S main battle tank is equipped with an automatic fire control system capable of detecting targets even at night and regardless of the weather. The sight is equipped with a thermal night-vision camera.
Reactive armor protects the Т-90S from armor-piercing and sub-caliber shells. The Shtora infrared ATGM jamming system can disrupt enemy anti-tank guided missiles. It has an early-warning capability which can alert the crew to an incoming attack, and release a smoke shield, thereby rendering the T-90S invisible to enemy weaponry.
Thanks to a powerful 1000-hp engine, the Т-90S can attain a top speed of 60 kph on the road and up to 45 kph on rough terrain.
Analysts say the T-90S has proven itself in high temperatures both in the Indian desert and in Malayan jungles.
The T-90S is popular among foreign customers for its superb combat and performance characteristics. The tank serves with the armed forces of India, Algeria and Saudi Arabia.
