Easy-Care Fruits: Currants, Mulberries and More
June 24
Between all of the weeding and feeding, I am definitely noticing some major plant growth. All of the sudden, tomato branches need to be fastened to their supports as they begin to reach outward and upward. There's lots of fruit development in the tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, as well as many garden rows that need thinning (carrots, daikon radishes, beets, beans and lettuces.)

Walt Whitman 1819–1892 Walt Whitman was one of the first Americans to recognise the power of photography to shape a reputation. Photography's ability to project multiple, diverse personas to the public was naturally appealing to a poet celebrating his, and each of our, multiple selves. This double image of Whitman was for use in a stereoscope, a hand-held viewing machine that created the illusion of depth and presence, an attribute that was key to Whitman's exploitation of photography to keep himself before his audience. Photography was a way of marking his career – keeping 'tally', as he would have put it – as it progressed from vigorous youth to bardic old age. And Whitman, in go-getting American fashion, was not unaware that photography was a way of advertising his self, selling not only books but the idea of himself as the great poet of the American idea. Ezra Pound's modernist diktat 'Make it new!' had been prefigured by Whitman himself as he kicked down the door and jambs of an inherited Anglo-American gentility, pursuing his great reinvention of America that required a reinvention of poetics itself. One wonders if Pound was so hostile to his precursor because Whitman was so vulgar and excessive (so apparently unlettered!) – or because Whitman got there first? Whitman can be exhausting and exasperating in his omnivorous attempt to channel all of America through himself and walt whitman by G. Frank E. Pearsall 1872 Albumen silver print National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution; gift of Charles Feinberg into the successive editions of Leaves of Grass. The idea that he was undisciplined is belied by his careful, indeed obsessive editing and rewriting of his work. His tendency to list, categorise or catalogue was a legacy of the Enlightenment. Yet his commitment to human perfectibility through selfexpression – his amoralism, his joyful earthiness – was a far cry from the cool rationalism of the discourses of Jefferson or Montesquieu. And where his contemporaries, especially Hawthorne and Melville, recoiled from the unfixed and unmoored nature of American society, Whitman alone vaulted into the future, not simply walking on the open road but building it as he went along. Everywhere and nowhere, that is the paradox of Walt Whitman. In all of his taxonomic chanting, he still has time to sum himself up in a way that endures: 'I know I have the best of time and space, and was never measured and never will be measured. // I tramp a perpetual journey, (come listen all!) …'

Of Gunpowder and Steel
This is a working title, but I think it's a damned good one. On an unrelated note, Iveron is apparently an "Eastern Orthodox icon of Virgin Mary". Huh, learn something new everyday. Ok, on to the actual post.
I wanted to throw out an idea I had a week or so ago about a fantasy world entering a period of industrialization. First it was just "oh hey, guns and magic!" but now I think it's become a little more unique. It's drawn some inspiration from a lot of things, including Dungeons & Dragons, mythology, the Spirit Engine, this book I read about an industrialized Faerie that I can't remember the name of, and a bunch of other stuff. I wanted to try to do a few things to make it unique like not having true humans and magic restricted to licensed users.
The world of Iveron is a wild one. This earth-like world is home to many races and species. The world is dangerous and monsters roam the plains, deserts, and forests. There are cities, but only so many. The world still progresses though, gunpowder along with steam and electric power now becoming much more common.
Iveron is a world of fantasy and magic, but the one thing the world seems to agree on (with the help of the mysterious Council, a sort of world government) is that magic is a dangerous force with proper training and restrictions. Only those trained in special magical academies, whether for military use or healing or study purposes, can legally use magic. The Council's agents keep this balance, but they sometimes miss the few that practice magic unlicensed.
The Corvus, crow men with a chess-based hierarchy, rule over the other races in their kingdoms. The Angels, once human but now near-immortal creatures, hide in their underground cities, churning out new machines every day. The Satyrs, men with goat-like legs, wander Iveron's landscapes along with the Masque, eeriely beautiful masked preformers. Kolbolds, short lizard men with a knack for traps, hide underground in their dungeons in fear of the bigger folk. The Fair Folk, tall and disturbing insectoid beings of mysterious origin, watch from their forest homes. The Worldkin, the embodiment of the elements themselves, mingles with the more fleshy folk. The Outsiders, beings not of this world with strange powers that they're willing to share... For a price. Many more races dwell within the cities of Iveron, playing their own roles.
And so begins the information section where I put a bunch of spoiler tags and fill them with text about STUFF.
I'm still working on this and I'm willing to take suggestions on the world and it's many inhabitants and the story of the RP. So... Yeah. Once I get a few more interested people I shall begin dicussing the specifics of the story so I can make an OOC.

My Christian Testimony by John Michael Domino
I grew up in the projects in Brooklyn, New York. My parents worked hard to give me what they did not have, three balanced meals, a good education and a room full of toys. As a young Catholic I attended church every Sunday and was taught not to sin. I recall vividly the comparison of the sour milk (sinful nature) and the fresh milk (with no sin) in Sunday school. I often stared at the tall colossal statues in our church of Saint Peter, Saint John and Saint Paul and wondered, "How am I ever going to grow up and fill their shoes?" I felt that I could never be sinless and there was no way could I live up to the expectations of the church. I knew that I could never measure up to the holiness of the saints (those huge statues). So in time, as I reached my teen years, I drifted away from my good habits and replaced them with some of characteristics of what we used to call a J.D. (my initials) which stood for Juvenile Delinquent.
In high school I was a very confused young man. I became restless, anxious, impatient, and I felt lost. At first, I was undecided about my future. Then with a push from a Godly and caring mother I was off to college. However, drugs and alchol dominated the college campus and I was spiraling downhill fast. I attended college for two years, got married young and then joined the United States Air Force (USAF). The experience in USAF helped me gain confidence and with some good solid Christian friends I was on the right road to spiritual recovery. Still, I was NOT yet saved and my internal dilemma went on between what was truly right and what was wrong. I was better off spiritually but I was still very much a lost soul.
Then, one evening, at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base I walked out of my home after having a heated family argument. I walked to the beach and halfway back home this big blue charted bus stopped in front of me. Stepping off the bus were dozens of smiling Christians who were on their way to a Christian retreat. They stepped right in front of my pathway home, turned around and smiled. Then as I passed by a couple of them asked me for directions. I wondered, "These folks are asking me for directions but I am the one who is really lost!" After they were all contented with my answers they asked me to join them. I felt honored that they asked but explained that I had to get back to my family and walked on. While strolling back home I could not stop thinking about all the wonderful warm and cheerful people on that Christian bus. They had a special glow in their eyes and it was so uplifting just to be around them. I thought how great it would be to live a life like them! It was at that moment I decided I had enough of my old life and I started my walk with Jesus. I NEVER looked back. There is NO reason why I would ever want to go back to the old me. The rest is history. My goal now is to follow Christ and let the world know that there is a better future on earth as we live and forever more with Him after we die.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
John Michael Domino

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a New Creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Petite Girl Appreciation
Williams's body confidence came later and seven Grand Slam singles titles by her early 20s didn't hurt. "I was 23 when I realized that I wasn't Venus. She's totally different," she explains. "I'm super-curvy. I have big boobs and this massive butt. She's tall and she's like a model and she fits everything. I was growing up, wanting to be her, wanting to look like her, and I was always fitting in her clothes, but then one day I couldn't." She pauses. "But it's fine. Now I'm obviously good, but it's a weird thing."
Williams has really grown into her beauty. "Since I don't look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that. To be different. But different is good," she says. She's loving her new bob too. "I feel so much sexier with short hair. I wanted to reach inside me and feel better. I don't want to hide behind a facade of hair." Her favorite part of her body? "My smile. Does that count? I think a smile can make your whole body. Models, they look fabulous, but they don't smile and they look so mad. But I like my smile, how it's bright and it's nice. Good thing my braces worked out."
As did her career. After eight years as on-and-off number one, Williams is more serious about tennis than ever. While she'll have a cocktail (she likes, yes, peach ones), she's amping up for a victorious summer. With no foot faults. "Ugh," she moans of the incident last year in which she blew up at a U.S. Open lineswoman who called a foot fault, causing her to lose the semifinal on a penalty. "Not much makes me angry. I'm always smiling," she says. "But foot faults piss me off because I never foot fault. I've never foot faulted before and never have after. Never."
Another thing that's a challenge for Williams is maintaining a relationship, given her touring schedule. She was dating the rapper and actor Common, but they broke up in April. "His schedule is actually worse than mine," she sighs. "He didn't want the responsibility. It's really tough." Common then began promoting his latest film, heaping enough praise on Williams that people assumed they were still on. ("Beautiful, intelligent woman, fun and spiritual woman. I think she's an incredible person," he told Access Hollywood.)
Williams looks befuddled befuddled but coquettish. "So I called him and I was like, Why are you saying all this stuff when we're not together?"
Probably because she looks so good.

Recipient was very pleased
By Jana - expecting
About Me Adult, Young Adult
The expectant mother was thrilled with the CD; it was on her "wish list" of items from Babies R Us which made shopping easy for me. That particular CD has special meaning for her and me because together, we saw Journey in concert a few years ago.

Beautiful Music
By Mama Morgan
from San Diego, CA
About Me First time mother, Young Adult
My husband and I absolutely LOVE Journey..we sampled some of the songs first on youtube, which I would suggest before buying any Rockabye baby cd. The music is all instrumental and less intense, perfect for baby. Our little girl falls alseep almost every day for her nap listening to Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin. Even my husband and I enjoy listening to our favorite lullaby renditions of our favorite Journey songs. I'm never going to get tired of this cd!

"Myrtle Beach"
FOR THE MOST PART IT WAS VERY GOOD., THE VIEW FROM THE ROOM WAS EXCELLENT. THE ONE PROBLEM IS SOON AS YOU WALK INTO THE BUILDING YOU GET THE SMELL OF CLORINE FROM THE POOL..Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
It was nice being right on the beach. Thought it was a little pricey for the lack of amenities and the time of year. Did enjoy the in-room kitchen facilities.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
clean, great pools and hot tubs, right on the oceanUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
Full-size kitchen so we could have breakfast and lunch inexpensively. This was our first stay in Myrtle Beach and the hotel was close to everything we wanted to se.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Room with a view of the Beach"
This is a good place to stay a night or two before flying out of Myrtle Beach International Airport. It's convenient, and there are many places to eat close by. Also, the Carolina Opry and the Alabama Theater are nearby.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
the room was not clean. Had a smell i no it pet friendly but they need to clean alot better . had to air the room out .will not stay there againUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
Very nice room for the price. Very clean and room was updated. We had an oceanfront room with a beautiful ocean view. Hotel is right on the beach. Small dog friendly. I would stay here again.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
Staff was very friendly. Loved the fact that my dog was treated so well.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Exceptionally pet friendly"
I was a little concerned with the billing of "pet friendly" as to what condition the facility and amenities might be. Could not have been more pleased! Great stay and definitely will stay again!!!Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Best Pet Friendly Hotel"
This was our second time at Ocean Park and we could only stay two days, but it was a wonderful two days. Ocean Park is very friendly and so clean. The indoor pool nice and warm and jacuzzi excellent. We brought our pet and I must say this is the best hotel for pets. Staff is extremely friendly and likes pets too. Lots of fun.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Nice hotel"
The hotel was in a perfect location for the beach. The only negative about the entire area was lack of places to eat within walking distance. But things were a short drive. The people working there were curteous and polite. I would definitely go back!Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"September 2013 beach trip"
My girlfriend and I stayed at the Ocean Park Resort from 9/15-9/19/2013. The room was clean but a bit outdated and the carpet had some tears in it. It came with a full kitchen which included a full size refrigerator, oven/stove, microwave and some pots/pans/dishes. This was nice as we didn't want to eat out every night. The location of the hotel is […] really good. It is about 10 blocks from the boardwalk so you are away from the busy area but only a 2-3 min car ride from it. It is also very close to Broadway at the Beach (2 miles) and about 10 minutes from Murrels Inlet and Garden City. The staff was very friendly. The indoor pool is heated which was nice. Both hot tubs are large so if multiple people are in them it isn't awkward. All and all we enjoyed our stay. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Loved Ocean Park Resort...we will return!!"
We truly enjoyed our stay at Ocean Park in Myrtle Beach, SC...friendly staff, clean facilities, nice pools & hot tubs, convenient location...great pet groomer on-site. Wish the room would have been a little bigger for the price, but you get what you pay for nowadays!Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"weekend in Myrtle"
The view was less than we had hoped for. It was interfered with by the main hotel porch and a retaining wall. It was "Ocean Front" but not what we wanted. The hotel was nice, our room was clean an it met our needs. I would probably not book this way again.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"great view"
I have to say the view was wonderful and eating breakfast on your own private balcony was the highlight of this hotel. The cleanliness of this hotel is a completely different story though. The dishes were dirty, the walls and ceiling in the bedroom area were covered in black dirt smudges. The floors were definitely not mopped in a very long time in […] the kitchen and bathroom. After wiping down the vanity in the bathroom with a Clorox wipe that was completely black before I was halfway done, I decided that I should probably just clean everything down before we settled down. The shower head in the shower was almost too low for myself (I'm only 5' 4"), the mattresses were like piles of blankets with no support what so ever, and when they say its a pet friendly hotel, they mean your in the minority if you don't bring a little yapper of your own. I must say though, the hotel is mostly quiet even though it is over run with small dogs and the dogs wouldn't be such a problem if the owns were more responsible (ex. Not letting your animal urinate in the elevators ant clean it up and not letting them relieve themselves where people walk barefoot). The hotel staff are quite friendly and helpful though. With a little more care in the housekeeping department and a mattress upgrade this could be a wonderful hotel. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
Had a great time. My Shih Tzu had a hard time trying to figure out why we were so high in the air, but he adjusted.Definitely the best motel if you have pets that are part of your life and go with you on vacation.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Awesome getaway!!!"
My husband and I had a wonderful time at this resort. The staff were friendly, room very clean, view excellent! Even though pets are allowed, we were never disturbed by a barking dog. :-) Spring Garden Restaurant near the hotel was awesome!! We will be back soon!!!Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"We were close to boardwalk and shops"
I enjoyed my stay! we had a pet and he was treated like part of the family everyone was kind and friendly! I will stay at this hotel again!Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"really good hotel"
I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The front desk was courteous, the housekeepers were nice and the room was clean. My only issue with housekeeping was the towels were still a bit damp. The rooms have full sized fridges, ovens and microwaves which is awesome. I just wish they had king sized beds.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Enjoyable stay, great rate."
The check in clerk was very friendly and welcoming. The staff was helpful and very accommodating. The room was clean and smelled good. We knew this was a pet friendly hotel and noticed several dogs on the property and had some concern about the cleanliness and possible odor in the room. The room was smelled clean and was clean. The bed was comfortable. […] The carpet had some places where it was stretched out and bubbled up, probably from being wet previously. But that did not effect our stay and we will definitely stay again. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
We enjoyed our stay, the staff was very friendly, and we were conveniently located to all the sights we were interested in seeing.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Clean room. Fairly decent hotel."
Even if you're unsure of how many people are going on the trip make sure you register them when booking also... otherwise you'll pay an extra fee per person per day. Front desk clerk was short with me and kept interrupting me. Room was clean but outdated. bed wasn't very comfortable. The pool area was very nice and clean. But I wouldn't stay here again. […] I've done way better for my money at other hotels. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
"Nice hotel good price."
Hotel had a nice view of the beach. Not too far from any restaurants or attractions. Will definitely keep in mind next time I come to myrtle beach.Ulasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
"Loved the beach view"
I was pretty happy with my stay. Was a little expensive but it was the height of the summer. The location was further from my meeting than I thought but that was my fault. It has nice pools and a large hot tub. I enjoyed sitting on my balcony and listening to the waves below. The hotel was very helpful personally to me when it was time to check out […] .

"Nice hotel for the money"
Hotel was great for the price, lots of dogs there. Wasn't crazy about that. Hotel doesn't permit smoking on premises at all. Should have at least a smoking area outside. Staff was very nice. Very friendly.Ulasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
This hotel had a friendly staff, and cleanliness was priority you could tell. my room was ready for check in almost four hours earlier then standard check-in (4:00) However, the hotel was quite overpriced in my opinion especially since it is such a long walk from all of the main beach activities like the Sky Wheel, Banana Boats, etc. If you are planning […] on doing a lot of activities that myrtle has to offer i would suggest a different hotel.

"An Unexpected Gem..."
We stayed August 20-24 2013. The Positive: Front desk personable. Very pet friendly; we brought our Pomeranian. They offer doggie treats upon check-in. They even have a doggie spa! Well- maintained pet areas. Always clean; never smelled any signs of dogs in common areas. The outdoor pool was clean as was the indoor pool. The outdoor jacuzzi was HUGE. […] Did not get the opportunity to try it out! :( Elevators were not an issue for us --perhaps because we were on the 7th floor and not on higher floors plus it was after school started in Georgia and South Carolina. Less family presence. Parking was pleasantly plentiful. Spaces weren't cramped. Convenient to hotel access; not across the street like some other hotels in that area. Housekeeping kept us stocked with plenty of towels. The Not-so-positive: Although the hotel policy explicitly states that there is a NO smoking policy in any of the rooms, our room had a permanent stale cigarette odor. The carpeting needed a good shampooing to alleviate it. The tub was sluggish when draining water, but once brought to the front desk's attention, they promptly addressed it. Other than that, I was very pleased with OceanPark and will definitely return next year! I am even recommending it to friends with pooches! :) Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Small Dog Paradise"
My wife and I live in beautiful Charleston, SC but it's nice to get away every now and then to see other beaches. We booked the Ocean Park Resort because they are pet friendly and very affordable. Right when we arrived we were made welcome by the outstanding hotel staff. They are dog lovers and our 10 pound Pomeranian Chihuahua loved every minute. She […] made a ton of friends daily both human and canine:) Our room was very comfortable and included a full kitchen which was a special added bonus. This isn't a five star hotel by any means but it was exactly what we wanted. Nice and simple. We hopped around the indoor/outdoor pools and hot tubs during the day and at night hit the town. Downtown Myrtle Beach is a nice walk away but the second night we took a short cab ride there. All in all it was an Awesome trip and we will definitely be staying at the Ocean Park Resort on our future visits to Myrtle Beach. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli

"Hotel was outdated and not what I expected."
Was disappointed that the hotel was outdated. Railing on balcony on floor 9 was loose. Bathroom was dirty. This was supposed to be a resort and there were no amenities of the sort IE: restaurant, lounge area. Also carpets were stained in room and throughout the hotel corridor. Lastly, floors were always wet.Ulasan tetamu Expedia yang asli

"Mr Gunawan, Ottawa, ON"
I like this hotel, because it was on the ocean front, and the price was reasonable. The only drawback was the service maid didn't clean and made our beds for 2 days. Otherwise, it was a good hotel.Ulasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
"Great place on the beach"
This place is right on the beach and even though they allow dogs in the hotel, I never had a problem with that - I don't like dogsUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
"Nice Oceanfront Hotel"
The hotel exceeded my expectations, considering it is a pet-friendly hotel. I was worried that it may be dirty or smelly from all of the pets, but it was not at all! We had an oceanfront room with 2 queen beds on the 8th floor. The view was fantastic, the room was clean, the beds were comfortable.Ulasan tetamu Expedia yang asli

Dirty shower and curtain. Stain on sheet. mismatched paint on walls from previous repair. Water damage on ceilings. Front desk clerk had no concept of guest satisfaction. not so much that her responses were wrong. She just said everything with a rude negative tone.

Overall our stay was wonderful. The only think would be that the elevators are now always very clean as people go to the beach and don't always clean their feet. Someone should check regularly and clean up the elevator floors.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

Friendly,helpful staff and we were able to get in our clean rooms way before the check in time.Ulasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
"Surprisingly fabulous!"
I was a bit hesitant to stay here as they were pet friendly. My past experience with pet friendly was not so great. I must say, I will be back! Very clean and hotel staff was excellent.

"Awesome place too stay"
The hotel and staff are great. The room was very clean and the cleaning staff was very good to work with if the room didn't need a total cleaning. The elevators is the only problem there are only two and sometimes you wait 5 to 10 minutes for them. We had a problem the last night with college kids who were put in the room next to us. They were smoking […] off the balcony and peeing off of it. The staff handled this in a very professional way along with security. I would advised anyone to stay here, you will have a great time.

1 1/2 Years Later..FINISHED!
The day finally came, J graduated from his MBA program. I couldn't be more proud, or selfishly happier for myself to have him back! These past 1 1/2 years were hard not having him around as a hubby, and these past 6 weeks as a daddy. Let me just say, I have been soaking in the time with him. Having him here at night and weekends without having to share him is incredible. Whats not so incredible? All of the sudden having to cook dinner again every night! After all that time of only cooking a few nights a week, and even then sometimes less if he was studying late...its a transition;) But I am loving every second of having him back, and so is Braylen! That baby loves his daddy.
We celebrated with the rest of his class at a nice steak house this past weekend, and it was so great. The most incredible part were the speeches. While all other classmates were raising their glasses to themselves and their classmates, he made a speech raising his glass to me and all of the other spouses. He thanked me for my support and said how proud and in love he was. I was a crying mess!!! How did I end up with this man?! Here we were heading out for the night:
Don't be fooled by the dress though, this is more of what I look like on a daily basis these days:
Yep, thats poop. I was wearing him in the Ergo and it was my first day of cloth diapering him. Clearly I didn't have the fit right!! Still trying to figure it out!
So, what does this mean for the blog you wonder? Lots! Lots of projects in the future!!!! We are going to be back full swing. I am still trying to fully figure out this whole motherhood thing, but now that he is finished, projects will be happening with or without me:) Can't wait to share with y'all as we go along. Thanks for being so supportive this whole time with me not posting as much. I truly have missed y'all. If you want to have more peeks in to our daily lives, you can always follow me on Instagram: DreamBookDesign. For now, here is our little sweetie:
Neither of them are too sure of each other;)
8 comments:
ruthy ann- thank you so much! you are too sweet
clair and amber- we just started CDing. I know I will love it eventually, but in the beginning it is a lot of guess work trying to get the right fit. And until you do, you have a lot of leaks- at least I do. Right now we are using FuzziBunz and MG baby diapers, but I plan on getting more different brands. So far my suggestions are DONT get a whole stash of one individual brand and DONT get velcro. As easy as velcro is, it will NOT last like snaps will.
Kelly- thanks love- and yes, I so wish I knew what they were thinking!!
Ann Marie- you are too funny! thank you!! He for sure is beautiful!!

GeorgeDillon, do you understand what "median" means? That's "middle number" in an entire range. In this case, of the entire working U.S. population. As in, that's a lot more people than the other commenter you've decided to target for whatever reason who can't afford their rent. Unless they can get, not "a" job but "another" job, in many cases. And, there are many people who can't get a job right now, and there's no shame there. I'm not sure why you think it is.
Here's another chart, in case you were wondering who the "work smarter*, not harder" people were these last few decades. -edit. No, this one's actually just over the last 20 years or so.
*your definition of 'smarter' may vary, depending on your ethics
Most production workers (aka "most people with a job") saw their income in real wages go up only as high as a modest 4.3% increase. Minimum wage effectively declined (relative to rate of inflation), 9.3%.
If you were a CEO, though, you saw a pay increase of nearly 300%.
Basically, in order to improve your standard of living as much as one of these CEO's over the last two decades, you would need to not just "get a job," but about 60 of them.
And this is *after* the Reagan Revolution, mind you. (No, Clinton does not get off the hook. Clinton helped to create this mess, absolutely).

I think the graph may say something about American social history.From 1950-70, the graph is fairly stable. From 1970-2000 it rises; then there is a steep rise between 2000-2005. From 1950-70, the Baby Boomers were children and housing was cheap.Between 70-2000, the BB were working, 2 income families. People assumed housing was a good investment. 2000-2005, was financially good. Now we would see a slide in 2005-2011,as housing prices fell.

I guess the rise must be due to the fact you now have double incomes coming into a house.

You can't be serious. Isn't this a spoof? I can remember when the advice of budget experts was to spend no more than 25 percent of monthly salary for rent or mortgage. Then it went to one-third. I'm slow at math, but it looks to me like renters spent about 50% of earnings on living space in the early part of this decade (assuming a 40-50-hr. work week). And the apartment/ flat has gotten much smaller while the rent has grown huge!

Local Space
There are several types of locality astrology that are in popular use, and let's mention them:
Relocated Angles
This is the oldest and most traditional technique, that of
relocating the chart angles and then looking to see how this changes the chart. This kind of relocation is as simple as casting the birth chart for the same moment in time, but in another town or location. We then look to see if any planets changed houses, and so on.
Then, there is Astro*Carto*Graphy, made popular by Jim Lewis. Lewis did not originate this technique. Gary Duncan and others had done this same mapping years earlier and published the maps to prove it. What Lewis did was to popularize this technique and show the rest of us how to use and love it. Astro*Carto*Graphy (among other things) shows great circles on a map (which appear as lines) for where a given planet would be on the Ascendant (and thus significant) if you were born at any spot along the line. Lewis made this style of mapping available to the world in a meaningful way.
Local Space
And last is Local Space, a technique I popularized. I was not the first astrologer to look at planets in Azimuth (longitude-equivalent on the local horizon), but I was the first to make it popular, to explain what it means and how to use it. Local Space is easy to understand. Just imagine your mom at your birth (with you in her arms) walking outside and looking at the sky. She might see the Sun in one direction along the horizon from where she stood, the Moon in another, and Venus as a morning star somewhere else. This is Local Space, the fact that each of these planets makes a line from where you stand that stretches around the Earth and passes through any number of cities. Thus Jupiter (for example) many be in the direction of Ann Arbor, Michigan as in my case and Ann Arbor was where I found my vocation as an astrologer. Jupiter = life path or vocation. You get the idea. Local Space is easy to grasp.
I am not expert in the other techniques, but am glad to discuss anything to do with Local Space and look forward to it. For those interested in this technique in more detail, I have a book 'Local Space: Relocation Astrology" available in paperback on Amazon.com.

When Casanova Met Mozart
The world's most notorious lover lived in Prague at the same time as the composer, but the mystery remains: did they collaborate on a famous opera?
- By Tony Perrottet
- Smithsonian.com, March 22, 2012, Subscribe
One of the vital epicenters of European culture, Prague has survived the wars of the last two centuries almost entirely intact. Today, the most atmospheric part of the city's historic Old Town is the Malá Strana, or "Little Quarter" on the west bank of the river Vlatava: its quiet back alleys, which wind up past mansions and churches to Prague Castle, still have the haunted, Brothers Grimm appearance they had in the late 18th century. Here, it's easy for visitors to still picture the likes of Giacamo Casanova, albeit in his twilight years, navigating Prague's cobbled paths in his breeches and powdered wig, on one of his visits from nearby Castle Duchcov. At first, the somber medieval style of the Czech capital might seem an odd retirement choice for the ebullient Venetian who fled his beloved home city in 1783 after he offended powerful figures there. But look a little closer and Casanova's spirit is everywhere. "Prague is a Gothic city that was baroquized by Italian artists," explains Milos Curik, a Czech cultural guide. "This was where the Italian Renaissance first reached northern Europe."
Today, Malá Strana's ancient buildings still conceal flamboyant interiors. Peer through shuttered windows and one is likely to see designer bars that would not be out of place in Barcelona or New York. On my recent visit, I woke up inside a 14th century monastery adorned with Eastern art: urban conservationists have overseen its renovation by Mandarin Oriental, using an exotic blend of Czech and Asian influences. Even the hotel spa was built on the foundations of a medieval chapel, which can still be admired through the glass floor. And Casanova himself would have been gratified to learn that the staff offer a booklet on "The Ten Best Places to Kiss in Prague" – the Charles Bridge at dawn is particularly auspicious – and a Venetian-style Carnival is now a highlight of Prague's winter season, complete with masked balls, street theater and parades.
But of all the arts, music has always been central to the city's reputation. One of the most beguiling stories about Casanova's sojourn in Bohemia – now part of the Czech Republic – is that he met Mozart in Prague in 1787, and that he worked on the libretto of Don Giovanni, the great opera about a compulsive Lothario not at all unlike Casanova himself. Today, tracing the little-known saga provides a marvelous key to the city.
To follow the Casanova trail, my first stop was the Italian Cultural Institute, which was founded as a Jesuit-run hospital in the early 1600s, complete with a serene cloister and a frescoed church. Thanks to its extensive library, the edifice soon developed into a gathering point for expatriate Italians, who began to live along the same street, Vlašská Ulice. "It's 99.9 percent certain that Casanova came to this building the moment he arrived in Prague," said the director, Dr. Paolo Sabatini. "It was the heart of the Italian community in the city. Bohemia was a great refuge for Italians. There were Italian artists, writers, technicians, engineers, many of them escaping charges of the [Roman] Inquisition."
According to biographer Ian Kelly, author of Casanova: Actor Love Priest Spy, Casanova first met an old friend from Venice Lorenzo da Ponte, a fellow libertine who was now Mozart's librettist, having written both The Magic Flute and The Marriage of Figaro. Italian opera was little short of a craze in Prague at the time, and Casanova had long been enraptured by the art form. (One of his most memorable episodes in his memoir, The Story of My Life, is his youthful affair with a female opera singer who was masquerading as a castrato). Casanova and da Ponte regularly attended concerts at the rural retreat of local arts patrons Josefina and Fratišek Dušek. Called the Betranka, this villa on the outskirts of Prague was where they mingled with other artistic celebrities – including, it is believed, the 31-year-old Mozart.
Mozart first came to Prague with his wife Constance in January, 1787, for a performance of The Marriage of Figaro. He was delighted to discover that his opera was given a euphoric reception in the city, whereas in Vienna he had fallen out of fashion. "Here they talk about nothing but Figaro," Mozart recorded in his diary. "Nothing is played, sung or whistled but Figaro. Nothing, nothing but Figaro. Certainly a great honor for me!" As a result, he decided to premiere his new work, Don Giovanni, in the city. He returned to Prague in October with da Ponte's unfinished libretto in hand, and moved into the Bertramka, at the invitation of the Dušeks, to furiously complete it.
Today, the Bertramka is open to the public as a small Mozart Museum, so I took a tram to the suburbs of Prague. The estate is now surrounded by roaring highways, although once inside the gates, it remains an enclave of serenity, with gardens that still host summer concerts. The exhibits are sparse – in 2009, most of the furnishings and instruments were moved to the Czech Music Museum in Malá Strana, including two pianos played by Mozart himself – but the villa itself still exudes an elegant, artistic ambiance. The sole employee sells a series of engravings of famous visitors, who included a virtual Who's Who of the 18th century cultural elite: Along with Mozart, da Ponte and Casanova, the Dušeks hosted the young Beethoven and German poet Goethe.
The claim that Casanova worked on Don Giovanni was made back in 1876 by Alfred Meissner in his book Rococo Bilder, based on notes made by his grandfather, who was a professor and historian in Prague and was the confidant of musicians at the opera's 1787 premiere at the Estates Theater. According to the musicians, Casanova visited the theater during rehearsals in October, when Mozart was doling out the last pieces of the music in disjointed fragments. The cast members became so frustrated that they locked Mozart in a room and told him he would not be freed until he finished the opera. Casanova apparently persuaded the staff to release the composer, who completed the overture that night, while Casanova fine-tuned the libretto in several key scenes.

Suave.My lipps were wetting all the time while reaing. The only doubt, like many others was of his meeting with Mozart on his visit to Prague for Mozart's performance of Don Giovanni. In 1783, Casanova went to Vienna penyless. Then he wondered torugh Austria Holland and france, back to Vienna again becaming secretary to the Venetion Ambassador Foscarini, who died shortly after. Goig then to Teplic Bohemia) where he met his last Employer Count Waldshtain, becoming to his 40,000 volumes of books, librararin (after 1784,5,6?)- and here I get lost, so please help. What it might happen is that when he past Prague while leaving Paris (85-6), is seeing the performance of "The Mariage of Figaro", but Mozart then wasn't present. I guess, in many contradictions in the dates he writes is quite possible that it is just an enhancing way of mentioning his meeting with Mozart (after the fame of Mozart, after his death1791,) but at this point I am puzzled myself and wish for real to learn about the fact did realy Casanova met Mozart.
Posted by Charles Luben Jankov on April 24,2012 | 10:47 AM
Lovely article, but there is one glaring, inexcusable error that could have easily been researched.
Lorenzo DaPonte wrote three operas with Mozart, "Le Nozze di Figaro" of 1786, followed by "Don Giovanni" in 1787, then "Cosi fan Tutte" of 1789, NOT "The Magic Flute". "The Magic Flute" was written by Emmanuel Schikaneder, and premiered just seven weeks before Mozart's untimely death.
Other than that, good job.
Posted by carter joseph on March 26,2012 | 01:21 PM
Good article, however, it should be pointed out to Mr. Kelly (he wrote this in his book too) that the third opera DaPonte wrote with Mozart was "Cosi Fan Tutte," not "the Magic Flute" (that was done by Emanuel Schikaneder).

This site has a dropdown menu associated with 2 of the navigation links: "Services" and "Community Care"
I want the menu to drop down below the default text but instead its going to the top left corner of the screen. Im assuming it has to do with the container or a z-index but I dont what I need to do to make it function properly.

Thanks for your help!!!
I have got it fixed to where the menu now drops below the text as it should, but it drops the whole container down with it. In Mozilla every dropmenu travels to the left side of the container rather than under the text.
This is the site in progress: http://www.healthquestpt.com/aems/

And the css file is here: http://www.healthquestpt.com/aems/styles.css
Please help!
good, in such cases I prefer to do the following: after entering the menu I put a labelon each button div with an ID of his own, and then use the css to move anywhere. do not enter the same ID for the div tags to no errors of syntax. It is not complicated, youcan use this technique for any spry. I hope this helps.

Sorry to say but the CSS for your menu system is incomplete. Where did you get this menu?
You might save yourself some time and hassle by switching to a better menu system such as PVII Pop-Menu Magic, jQuery Superfish or even Spry Menu 2.0 from Adobe's Widget Exchange.

After much research and trial and error.... the dropdown menu script I am already using drops the menu down exactly where its suppose to in IE7 - IE9, Safari 5, Opera 11, Chrome, Android, Blackberry and iphone. Only FF screws it up. And its not "bad" but its not right. When you hover over one of the links that has a drop menu associated with it, the drop menu should drop just below its parent. In FF it drops to the bottm-center of the first two links. If this script displays how its suppose to on all these browsers, its got to be a firefox code issue but no matter what I try to fix it it doesnt fix it.....
Please look again at my code I posted above and see if there is anything I might need to add to it for firefox to display correctly

Well this has been a fun fulfilled season!
If only narrator played during Christmas and played this last week we may have had a diff winner as he was unstoppable until he er....stopped.
Congratulations Chrisa for being victorious and well done those who made it into the Playoff zones. Lemme try and hunt down some gifts to reward you guys for the hard fought yet successful season.
As for the rest of you, well the new season should be see even more ups and downs with mini leagues as opposed to one big league and each Bingo season lasting one month. So expect lots of relegations and promotions.
For now though, let's all look forward to the Olympics and Euro 2012.
Lots of love
