|Bentwood Case Top
To begin the process of refinishing it, first I removed all the hardware.
|Front of base
|End of base
|Top and inside of base
|Bottom of base
|Scratch on one end of top
Then, I began to gently sand off the old varnish, and sand out the nicks and dings.
|Front of base - Sanded
|End of base - Sanded
|End of top - Sanded
I can already see that I will have to be careful with some of the deeper scratches (like on the end of the top) -- I don't want to sand through the veneer and have to replace it all! Once I get it all cleaned up, I will sand it again with a finer grit, then re-stain it and spray on a tough overcoat.
More to come.

Despite the annoying heat wave hitting us here in San Diego, holiday season is in full swing! Thanksgiving is 2 weeks away, Christmas is 6 and Starbucks has officially unleashed Red Cup season. If that doesn't put you in the holiday spirit, then I don't know what will.
Though I'm lucky enough to have family within driving distance, I've spent my fair share of time doing long distance traveling. From flying and driving across country over my four years in college and a semester of travel abroad in Europe, I've clocked in plenty of far travel. By no means have I totally mastered the travel game (i.e. the time I forgot my ID at home and didn't realize it until I was in the security line at the airport… yikes), here are a few of my tips and tricks for all you babes who are logging some major travel miles this holiday season.
top/cardigan/leggings/shoes (similar)/bag/sunnies (similar)
Dress for Comfort, Not the Runway
I'm a huge advocate of comfy chic wear for long distance traveling. Whether it be a long flight or a road trip, I tend to lean towards an outfit that I could curl up in easily but is a little more put together than just sweats. Leggings are a major must, as well as comfortable shoes. For tops and sweaters, try to go for something more on the baggy side. It's always good to carry a sweater too, in case it gets cold or you need a makeshift pillow!
Over the Ear Phones
This is definitely one I learned the hard way. I used to hate these kinds of headphones- I thought they were bulky and impractical (and usually not the cutest). But I've begun to realize that for travel, they're ideal. They're much better for your ears, especially in high altitudes. Keep the buds for the gym, but grab a pair of oversized headphones like these for travel and give your ears a break!
Pack Smart
Always pack an oversized bag to keep with you at all times with your essentials. It should always be easy to access throughout your trip- as a carryon or the bag you keep under your feet in the car.I'm in love with duffels like this one – definitely next on my shopping list. Keep snacks (classic fave!), your phone + headphones, sunglasses, chargers, books, etc. Anything you need to keep you busy and comfortable. Which brings me to my next tip…
Books, Magazines, Podcasts, Oh My!
Always have something to do! Pack a page turner, a stack of magazines and load up your Spotify playlists. I've also become a huge fan of podcasts recently- I listen to them on my way to work, at the gym, in the morning when I get ready. They make time seem to fly! [Keep an eye out later this month for some of my faves!]
What are your top travel tips?!

Fuld's comments marked his first public remarks since being grilled by investigators on the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in 2010.

If you travel a lot for your business, The Business Platinum® Card from American Express is well worth its steep $595 annual fee. It provide generous rewards for travel expenses and comes with a suite of perks that can make the grind of travel significantly less abrasive.
The Business Platinum® Card from American Express: Basics
Card type: Small business.
Annual fee: $595.
Welcome offer: Earn 50,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $10,000 and an extra 25,000 points after you spend an additional $10,000 all on qualifying purchases within your first 3 months of Card Membership. Terms Apply.
5 Membership Rewards points per dollar spent on flights and prepaid hotels booked through amextravel.com.
1.5 points per dollar on eligible purchases of $5,000 or more. That's an extra half-point per dollar on such purchases. Good for up to 1 million extra points per year.
1 point per dollar on all other purchases.
Terms apply.
Interest rate: None. This is a charge card, and the balance is generally due in full with each statement. (AmEx does offer a "Pay Over Time" feature that allows you to carry a balance, but the interest rate is high, and we don't recommend using it.)
Foreign transaction fees: None.
How perks make up for the $595 annual fee
No doubt about it, The Business Platinum® Card from American Express comes with a bit of sticker shock with its big annual fee. The first thing to remember is that the fee is a deductible business expense. Beyond that, the card offers extensive travel perks that provide a ton of value:
Airline fee credit. Up to $200 a year in credit for incidental fees on one airline, such as checked bag fees or in-flight refreshments or entertainment. Each year, you select a qualifying airline to receive this credit.
Airline redemption bonus. When you redeem points for eligible flights through American Express Travel, you get 35% of those points back. Eligible flights include:
All fare classes on your selected qualifying airline.
First- or business-class fares on any airline.
Trusted traveler program application fee credit. When you apply for the Global Entry or TSA PreCheck programs, you'll receive a credit of $100 or $85, respectively, for the application fee. This credit is available once every five years.
Global Lounge Collection. Your card gets you into more than 1,200 airport lounges worldwide, including the issuer's own Centurion Lounges and International American Express Lounges, Delta Sly Clubs (when flying Delta), Priority Pass lounges, and lounges in the Plaza Premium, Airspace and Escapes networks.
Hotel status. You automatically qualify for Gold status in the Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors programs.
Why you'd want The Business Platinum® Card from American Express
A big bonus for big spending
The two-tier bonus offer for new cardholders sets the tone for this card. You can collect an impressive haul of points — but to get the full bonus, you'll need to spend a lot pretty much right off the bat. Full details: Earn 50,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $10,000 and an extra 25,000 points after you spend an additional $10,000 all on qualifying purchases within your first 3 months of Card Membership. Terms Apply.
Think of it as a test for whether this card is a good match for your business. If you won't spend enough to earn the bonus — or if you'd really have to stretch to do so — then you're better off with a different product. (See other options below.) The Business Platinum® Card from American Express isn't designed for the entrepreneur who spends a little here and a little there.
Generous travel rewards
Membership Rewards points are worth an average of 1 cent apiece, so the 5 points per dollar on flights and prepaid hotel stays booked through amextravel.com is the equivalent of a 5% rewards rate. Spend $11,900 a year on travel, and you've made up for the annual fee right there, even before factoring in card perks. On top of that, you get 35% of your points back when you redeem points for eligible flights as described above, meaning you could squeeze out an effective rate of 6.75% on travel spending.
Flexible redemption
In addition to redeeming points for travel through American Express, you can also transfer them to a number of airline and loyalty programs, usually on a 1-to-1 basis. This might give you more value per point. Airline and hotel partners include Delta, JetBlue, British Airways, Air France/KLM, Hilton, Choice and Marriott.
Other redemption options include merchandise, gift cards, Amazon.com purchases, Uber rides and more. But we recommend putting your points toward travel, since that's where the greatest value lies.
PURCHASE protections
The Business Platinum® Card from American Express covers purchases against loss, theft or damage within 90 days. It also has extended warranty protection, which adds up to one extra year to your manufacturer's warranty.
Why you might want a different card
you don't travel much for business
In case it isn't clear by now, The Business Platinum® Card from American Express is a fantastic card if you travel a lot on business. If you don't travel a lot, well, then it's a really bad choice for you. You'd be better off with a cash-back card like the Capital One® Spark® Cash for Business. This card gives you an unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase, and it comes with a decent welcome bonus: Earn a $500 cash bonus when you spend $5,000 in the first 3 months and earn $1,500 when you spend $50,000 in the first 6 months of your account opening. The annual fee is $0 for the first year, then $95.
You just can't stomach the fee
If you make full use of the perks offered by The Business Platinum® Card from American Express, the $595 annual fee is worth it. But if you're dead-set against paying that much to carry a credit card (and many people are), consider the Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card. It earns 3 points per dollar on the first $150,000 spent on travel and select business categories each year, and 1 point per dollar on everything else. Points are worth 1.25 cents apiece when redeemed for travel through Chase. There's a jumbo welcome bonus: "Earn 80,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. That's $1,000 toward travel when you redeem through Chase Ultimate Rewards®." The annual fee is $95.
You value simplicity in travel rewards
Don't have the patience for figuring out bonus rewards and wrestling with redemption processes? Take a look at the Capital One® Spark® Miles for Business. This card works a lot like the popular Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card: You earn an unlimited 2 miles per dollar on every purchase, and you can redeem those miles for any travel expense. Book however you want, then pay for it with miles. Welcome bonus: Earn 50,000 bonus miles when you spend $5,000 in the first 3 months and earn 150,000 bonus miles when you spend $50,000 in the first 6 months of your account opening. Annual fee: $0 for the first year, then $95.

Is The Business Platinum® Card from American Express right for you?
It all comes down to how much you travel for business. Hard-core road warriors will extract enough value from the card to make its hefty fee seem like a bargain. One-or-two-trips-a-year puddle-jumpers will struggle to get their money's worth. Look at the rewards and perks, and do the accounting.

Tasty Breakfast Ideas for busy peeps:
Since starting on my nutritional cleansing journey, I must admit to being hooked on my Superfood Protein Smoothies for breakfast, it really sets me up for the day with all the vitamins and minerals I need to keep me going. But sometimes a girl needs to change things up a bit. One of my go to favourites are muesli and yoghurt cups which are packed with anti oxidants from the berries and friendly bacteria for a healthy gut. Perfect for busy peeps who want a quick and healthy option:
In a glass add layers of muesli, organic yoghurt, berries, bananas or whatever fruit is in season. Then top with crushed mixed nuts and some shredded coconut. Yoghurt is full of beneficial bacteria that helps boost your good intestinal flora, which in turn supports your immune and digestive health. Enjoy!

Order affirming order of the bankruptcy court denying appellant committee of unsecured creditors authorization to assert a claim of equitable subordination under 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code is affirmed over claim that appellant is not obligated to seek the court's approval to bring its equitable subordination claim because In re STN Enters., 779 F.2d 901 (2d Cir. 1985), does not apply.

In a suit involving the payment of a termination fee for an electricity tolling agreement on behalf of a bankrupt party to the agreement, judgment for defendant-creditor is reversed where a creditor may not allocate a payment made by a non-debtor guarantor first to interest then to principal, thus preserving the unpaid principal for collection in bankruptcy, since the allocation of a payment in this manner would permit the creditor to collect an amount otherwise disallowed as post-petition interest.
7th cir
McDougall v. Pioneer Ranch Ltd. P'Ship, No. 06-3757

What's one more?Thursday, October 2nd, 2014
I haven't been blogging a ton lately, and many of you know why. We have a third child with arthrogryposis in the house these days thanks to the foster care system. And while I'd love to take a million pictures of this sweet child's face and tell you the amazing (unplanned) story of how she became a cuddly and loud and goofy and precious part of our family, unfortunately I'm prevented by privacy rules as she's still a ward of the state. Going from one child with AMC to two had it's difficulties, but going from two to three has been another story entirely. I have no free time anymore thanks to a casting and splinting schedule that has tripled. My blog has grown cobwebs. I forget what my husband looks like. And going grocery shopping or to Miracle League or to events involves a lot more logistics now.
And guys, we got a minivan. This just got real.
But it's worth it! Love these kids! They are all so smart! And stinkers! Ohhhhhh I have stories.

The former Arsenal winger, who has played at Barcelona since 2000, revealed that a persistent knee injury had forced him to call it a day.
"My knee has caused me lots of problems and I can no longer continue to play at the level that I want," he said.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta said: "We are enormously grateful for his sincerity and for the dignified act of the player."
Overmars, 31, leaves Barcelona without recompense, despite having a year remaining on his contract.
He played as a substitute in several games for Holland at Euro 2004 last month and started in their semi-final loss to hosts Portugal.
Known for his dazzling turn of pace, he was part of the 1995 Ajax team that won the Champions League before moving to the Premiership, where he helped Arsenal to a League and FA Cup double in 1998.
He became the most expensive Dutch player of all time - and the most expensive player in Barcelona history - when he signed for the Catalan side for a fee of around £25m two years later.
But he failed to produce the sort of eye-catching form he regularly displayed at Arsenal and Barcelona told him at
the end of last season that he could leave the club.
The midfielder has been a regular fixture for Holland over the past decade, appearing 86 times and scoring 17 goals.

Travis Scott is not in the mood of handling the rumor mill coolly.
The rapper was recently brought under the rumor radar when an Instagram user posted a picture of a man with hair like Travis' making out with another woman. A woman who was clearly not Kylie. The faces of both the people in the picture are unclear so it is not a good idea to jump to conclusions and insinuate that Travis is cheating on girlfriend, Kylie Jenner.
However, when this rumor caught the Astroworld singer's attention, he immediately took to Instagram to dispel the rumors. First of all, he replied to the picture with a comment that read, "TMZ ain't post this s–t. Trolls working hard today. I don't be on balcony wit no thots. That s–t lame. Try again u trollssss. Me and my wifey sturdy. Back to celebrating!!!"
Now that's a man who is not up for any mess when his relationship is going solid. To clarify this further, he added another comment that read, "Only got love for my wife. No time to be wasting. Think again."
Because this much clarification was not enough for him, the 26-year-old also put up an Instagram story note. He wrote, "Trolls always wanna create some fake s–t to destroy real love. GOING OVER BOARD TO MAKE S–T LOOK LIKE IS NOT EVIL. I hate acknowledging s–t. But quit try to take joy from s–t that's good. I pray god blocks out all evil."
Well, Kylie is pretty lucky, no? This guy seems to be head over heels in love with her! Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott started dating last year after the makeup mogul broke up with Tyga. In February, Kylie and Travis welcomed their baby girl, Stormi, to the world. They already call each other hubby and wifey. Reports say an engagement is around the corner for this fancy celeb couple.

Genre(s): BDSM/May-December/Contemporary
Reviewed by: Gigi
Heat Level: 5 flames out of 5

Avery Hextall, a junior architect at a prestigious firm, is thrilled when his design is chosen for a new performing-arts center—even if it means working closely with his insufferably uptight project manager, Malin Lacroix. When a chance encounter in the boss's office proves that Lacroix is anything but cold, Avery is determined to learn more about the real man beneath the aloof veneer.
Despite their growing attraction and their increasingly kinky encounters, the enigmatic Malin remains as emotionally distant as ever. Worse, Avery's friends are convinced Malin thinks of Avery as a dirty secret and nothing more—a secret that might destroy both of their careers.
But the real secret is a single moment in time that haunts Malin and keeps him from committing to the life he wants with Avery. In order to move on, Avery must help Malin come to terms with the tragedy in his past before they can work on building a future together.
There is a wonderful, rare feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you read a book by a new or new-to-you author and they blow your mind. It's so rare it's only happened to me four times in my four years of reading M/M romance fiction. Leta Blake's Training Season, J.H. Knight's The Last Thing He Needs, Roan Parrish's In The Middle of Somewhere, and Melanie Hansen's Everything Changes. Let the Wrong Light by Avon Gale now brings my count up to five.
Avery Hextall is young and happy and pretty carefree. He has a grumpy, anal retentive boss named Malin Lacroix that he just can't seem to please with his architectural designs. It irks him to no end and he finds himself working harder and harder to please him.
Avery finds himself having bizarre, kinky feelings when he is in his boss's presence. His wants Malin to hit him. Hurt him. Use him. It confuses him to no end. One day, in the privacy of Malin's office, Avery pushes Malin to the edge and they engage in an extremely rough sexual act. Avery finds himself transformed by this encounter and wants more. He doesn't understand this new kink, but it's the most explosive sexual experience of his young life.
Malin has been married twice and considers himself straight. The book is told entirely from Avery's POV so we don't hear what Malin is thinking, but he does express disbelief at his strange and kinky attraction to Avery.
Seriously, listen to me. Brutal kink really isn't my thing. The closest I've come to enjoying physical violence during sex is the classic, kinky delight by Anah Crow Uneven. But Uneven and Let the Wrong Light In have one thing that most violent BDSM stories lack. Emotion. Romance. A connection between the characters that shows the reader just how much enjoyment they are giving and receiving. And that is hot. SO FUCKING hot. This book melted my eReader.
Stop everything you are reading right now and READ THIS BOOK. It is filled with amazing kink, hurt/healing/comfort, serious emotions and a connection between the characters that is nothing short of glorious. I am officially Avon Gale's bitch and will gobble up everything she writes from here on out.
It's that good folks. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
It deserves the Lucille Bluth GIF of fangirling.

Yet another excellent feature on the BBC website, again centring on 'squash legend' Peter Nicol.
The feature is part of a series of video interviews with successful athletes where they describe lessons they have learned and their motivations to reach the top of their chosen sport.
While some of the Nicol's advice (such as techniques to develop the mental strength to perform at the highest level and gain an advantage over one's opponent) could come from high-performance coaching manuals, others such as a commitment to over-training as a means of knowing one's own limits are more idiosyncratic.
What the interview reveals is an incredibly strong-willed individual and suggests that coaching (even at professional level) cannot substitute for a singular ability to succeed on one's own terms.
Indecently, each time I've seen Nicol interviewed on the BBC he comes across as a natural media performer - why don't they sign him up?

What Makes Women Happy?
I've been married for forty five years and I've concluded that watching women watch movies, provides one of the few clues to what really makes her tick.
Watching my wife prepare for movie night, I've learned that there are four things essential to a good evening. Air popped popcorn, some completely unattractive, but comfortable, "pajama look a like", a box of Kleenex and any movie that will make her cry.
Women like movies with the word, "Wedding" in the title, like - "The Wedding Singer", "The Wedding Planner", "The Wedding Crasher", "My Best Friends Wedding", "Muriels Wedding", "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" or "Four weddings and a Funeral". I think Hollywood could introduce "The Blob marries the Slob" and women would make it a blockbuster.
Crying movies will however, out perform wedding movies for most women. Find a women who hasn't watched " An Affair to Remember" or "The Notebook" ten times. Thats because women like movies that make them cry. It makes them happy. Women even go to the movies together so they can all cry together and wallow in collective happiness. They look at each other crying and start crying all over again and then they start laughing hysterically at each other crying. Then they tell us that we don't understand them!
Guys don't cry at movies unless the concession stand is closed. Guys like "guy" movies. Tear jerkers like, "Brave Heart", "Rocky one through five" or "Rambo one through four". Guys think a romantic comedy is "An Evening at Porky's".
Women like to watch movies with other women. They even watch movies on mute. As soon as the movie starts, they begin multiple conversations, pausing only to cry at the prescribed and necessary intervals. They know what happens before it happens. They know it's going to make them cry and they don't care.
" Oh, I love this part, give me the Kleenex!"
My wife can cry with a mouthful of popcorn, a fist full of tissue and talk to twenty seven other women without even having to swallow. If there isn't anyone to cry with, she will watch the movie with my daughter in Chicago, or her mother in L.A. via cell phone, where they all cry on the Verizon family plan.
There isn't any sense in trying to watch a movie with her either. There isn't a husband on this planet that looks as good as the guy in a chick flick. She's looks at you, looks at him and starts crying all over again. Talk about perfect! He couldn't say anything wrong if it was scripted. He even smells delicious. .
The guy in her movie can order wine in any language. He speaks fluent everything and can make love in every one of them. He has all the money in the world and he plays the piano like Beethoven. He's so perfect that even God wants to know where he came from.
That's why men like guy movies. In a good western like "Unforgiven", the guy doesn't bathe for a year, he has three teeth in his mouth, sleeps with his horse, has cow dung embedded in his boots and some vixen is chasing him all over the western plains! She doesn't ever talk and she thinks cuddling is something cows do.
In a chick flix, the guy showers every twenty minutes with the door open. When I do that, she starts crying and closes the door. In a chick flix, the guys never think about sex. They just like to talk, because women like to talk and these movies are made for women. Women have authentic conversations with the guy in the movie because they actually believe that the guy in the movie is talking directly to them.
In a guy movie, the women don't have lines, they don't talk because there isn't any time for talk. The guys been gone for three years, comes home for fifteen minutes and then has to go off and fight another war or get cigarettes. He has fifteen arrows embedded in his back, a hatchet lodged in his head and she doesn't ask him a single question!
That's the thing about movies that are made for women. Everybody talks. They all get together and talk during the movie and then the movie talks backs back to them. Then they all cry together and everybody is happy!
Obviously, movies illustrate how men and women differ in their concepts of love and romance. Our preferences in movies only depict the glaring futility of Hollywood to make films that bring us together.
Last week, I stopped showering and grew a one week scruff. I bought a horse to sleep with. I got boots and walked through all the horse dung I could find. I put an old wooden tub in the living room, filled it with water, got a bottle of good whiskey and lit up a cigar. I pulled my hat down over my brow and in my best Clint Eastwood pose, I sunk down into the tub and waited for her to come home.
When she got home she just started laughing. Obviously there are still too many teeth in my mouth!
It has become painfully clear to me, through this failed effort, that women think westerns are comedies. Its o.k. though. She's laughed so hard that she started crying. That means she's happy. Unfortunately, she was in a hurry and had to leave.
"Where are you going?" I asked her in grave disappointment.
"I'm meeting the girls at the theater" she said. "The blob marries the slob just came out!"
I like your "stuff." Think I'll become a follower.
Ah. I'm aware you've been very busy and involved recently. Priorities must take precedence and very frequently they're not only priorities but seem to expand to fill the time, leaving personal preferences in limbo. I'm glad for you that there's a great sounding vacation to Banff and its beautiful environs on the horizon. In the peak of fall foliage, I can only imagine the beauty. You deserve it. It will surely be inspirational. (Hope you'll be ring master of that getaway!)
Will be good when your kids get their Chicago house sold and their new one there, so you can relax more in a more normal household, with your interests in place, and you'll be able to really enjoy your vacation. Hugs.
Thanks for defining your relationship with stereotyping, Alan. :-)
Oh, my! I laughed so much reading your hub, Alan. It really has much truth but even more humor, in your unique style. Those cases when crying would be elicited for twisted reasons are soooooo funny.
Still, I just can't sit still for stereotyping of what women all like in movies. I've never had a movie night with female friends, though I've watched some with my great-granddaughter. I've gone 'TO the movies' with my friend Val, who prefers Daniel Craig in 007 roles or any other macho roles, and where we just sat and watched the big screen. I think about popping corn but never remember to when I put on a DVD. I'm an iconoclast in this as I am in various other 'typical' female or human or whatever categorizations in which I might otherwise be fitted, but in which I don't.
I'm a real woman through and through and of course, I love "An Affair To Remember" and "The Notebook". Also, "Braveheart" is possibly my all-time favorite movie. The guns and killing in it have meaning, courage and dedication to an honorable cause abound. It's more than just a muy-macho showing of muscles and ability to grit teeth and charge in.
I also like "Top Gun", "A Few Good Men", "Finding Forrester", "Jane Eyre", "Madame Bovary", nearly all of Jane Austen's stories made into films, "Sleepless In Seattle", "The Wedding Crashers" (not much of a female take on weddings in that one), "Room With A View", "The Hunt For Red October" and many other movies showing my eclectic taste. The standard for a good movie for me is quality.
George was a real guy in every sense. He liked guy movies, and movies about the war in which he had been involved were of special interest to him. Of course I only knew him when he was mature and in his AARP years and beyond.
We enjoyed many of his kind of guy movies together & I fully enjoyed them. He liked many of my 'click-flicks' and sometimes was known to shed a tear or two himself when there was authentic emotion depicted which stirred his heart, which was always up to being stirred as long as I knew him.
Then we both roared with laughter in "Sleepless In Seattle" when the guy-gal movie personalities in the movie were spoofed in one scene. The gals were teary over "An Affair To Remember" and the guys began pretending being emotional & crying about the guys in their macho movies in specific macho scenes. Even the little boy got into their standpoint!
It really was hilarious, as is your delightful hub! :-)
Dang, Arb, that's some good stuff!
To be honest, I did find myself shedding a tear or two during Passion of the Christ and perhaps my eyes ran a little during a couple other movies as well. This never used to happen to me, so perhaps I'm getting a little soft with the onset of advanced age. :0) God's blessings to you and yours and keep up the good work!
Though I am not one of those women, I ted to prefer suspense, action, horror or anything involving sports, this is fabulously true of 90% of the women I know! Thank you for the early Saturday laugh :)
Soooooo funny. I especially like your efforts at being a tough guy. Wish she had had the camera out...now that would have been a movie to watch!
Haha...you are a good observer of the foibles of women, arb! Yes, we like the soppy films but we also like the 'laugh out loud' variety - especially when we're laughing at the men! :D
Imagine, I said "I lack the words..." then literally boom verbal vomit. :P
You are always welcome arb, sorry for the LONG replies. :)
Oh arb, can I say fantastic?
Ugh, I lack words to define this, it is just that wonderful.
To be honest, I think there might be something functionally wrong with me but if I have a long weekend, with enough time to watch a film, I might watch films like 30 Days of night, Terminator 1-3, Gladiator, Rambo, Resident evil 1 to 3, 2 days later, all those Japanese remakes by Hollywood films with any strong male lead.
I hate it when my sister brings some mushy cryable (is that even a word? Ugh, will use it any way.) movie.
I feel we have enough sadness and troubles in our lives than to actually buy a film that will make me cry for 2 hours!
Being a tomboy as a child and by always being around my guy cousins, I seem to understand men and not understand women at all!
Like when they start talking about glitter and jewellery and general sappiness, it makes me want to kill myself for being in a company where I learnt nothing.
The only people I enjoy spending time with are ones, who leave me being a more productive person.
I would be lying if I said, I haven't watched all 'women' movies but I never understand them. It feels like torture when your form of entertainment just made me visibly upset.
You are right about the excessive talking in women movies, they are misleading because most men choose to not put all their feelings on a platter, they do not enjoy the vulnerability that comes with it.
These films corrupt us, women because they make us believe false ideas about men and when our 'husbands, boyfriends, lovers' do not follow those rules, we feel like we have been cheated.
Maybe 2% of the male population might be your per se Edward Cullens, Landon Carters, Noah Calhons, Jack from Titanic etc.
Honestly, when I watched Titanic, I was amazed by the digital effects, the love story was secondary for me, I felt like the love story sort of did not do justice to the film because it helped us forget the tragedy and remember only love. I was so upset after watching that film that I decided I would never fall in love because last thing I would want is become a mushy mess.
Lol, fear of relationships and all things alike I guess.
My comment sounds like I was on a sofa explaining my woes to a doc, lol.
I will end it on, I like movies that leave me amazed rather than upset. :D
Oh and great hub. :P
You are so right women do love movies with the key word being wedding. I have never given it much thought, but so many of the moves I love are wedding themed. Loved this one your pretty right on! Take care:)
David-leo, thank you for the kind words!
Very concise hub. I love your precision.
LMBO.....I think I'm addicted to your hubs.....lol I haven't laughed this much in a long time!! Keep 'em coming :)
Thanks so much!!
My husband, thank God, is a sensitive man when it comes to a sad movie, and I love it. We take turns selecting what movies we watch on video or see in the theater. I have no trouble seeing a good action thriller with lots of blood, and gore, if it's his turn to choose. Last week we saw (my turn to pick) "Company Men", with Ben Affleck...He say's to tell you, he'd recommend it to both of you! Good Hub, Arb.
my husband always cry but I Never cry over movies, i just laugh at him crying. And i love to watch his face when he is watching TV or movies. He acts out whatever is going on with his facial expressions!
Freshlaundry, sorry about the accident. I remain irresponsible for damages incured while reading my work! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by!
Great article..made me laugh so hard I peed a little!!
LOL! This is soooo true. My partner loves Predator, Resident Evil etc.. while I prefer Eat Pray Love, Korean dramas and other shows that will possibly bring a tear to my eye.
About 'Terminator Wedding', I'm not sure I'll watch that if Hollywood decides to make such a movie. Too much guns and machines!

So I just got home from an amazing week in Ghana… but before I give you the full play by play, I have to go back to a lazy day at the office this summer. On July 16th, this email came into my inbox:
tldr: write a 300 word essay to be eligible to win a trip to Ghana.
Thankfully, I was pretty bored at work and therefore used that time to write that essay. Not sure I would have spent the time at home to do it if I were busy… here's what I wrote:
I have always had a passion for improving the learning conditions of young girls. Prior to starting at MIT Sloan, I was the managing director of a non-profit organization, Girls in Tech Minneapolis. The goal was clear: increase the number of girls pursuing technology professions by increasing their access to education and strong female role models. Even though I am no longer involved in Girls in Tech, this topic continues to be something I feel strongly about and will continue with once I earn my MBA. Girls all over the world should have better, equal access to education. It is this passion that drives my desire to learn more about non-profit education abroad.
The increased popularity of cause marketing has also turned my attention to the 1-for-1 model of non-profits. I first heard of TOMS through Hanson's Take the Walk tour, and have been interested in the model ever since. How can we encourage more affluent people to give to those who do not have the same? By participating in this once-in-a-lifetime learning experience in Ghana, I hope to learn ways to apply this model to future for-purpose driven initiatives.
Lastly, I know this opportunity will teach me so much. Beyond learning about education and non-profit work, I will see a first-hand account of how to start from scratch. Adam Braun created something that is truly changing lives. Through this inspiration, I know I can do the same.
I also love the impact CommonBond is making and would love the opportunity to connect further! I am also a lot of fun to travel with.
A week later I got a 7am phone call from CommonBond in NYC telling me I had been selected. Cue intense excitement.
[My essay was also published on their blog, which you can see here!]
Last Wednesday, I took a flight from BOS to Amsterdam solo. Once there, I met up with Natalie, a representative from Pencils of Promise (PoP); David, Michaela and Ali from CommonBond; and Jason and Eryn, the other winners. Looking back, it's kind of funny because I wasn't once concerned about traveling to Africa with 6 complete strangers.
Completely unrelated, here is a photo of an Amsterdam Airport Donut:
The next seven hours were filled with wine and movies… but nothing really worth mentioning here. We landed late on Thursday and went to bed soon after we checked in. Early thoughts? — Ghana is hot.
Friday morning we left Accra for Ho early. There, we were welcomed by a great group of students who had been in a PoP school since 2013. After a performance of a traditional dance and the recitation of a poem, we were each presented with beautiful pieces made personally for each of us. Within minutes, rain started pouring and the students went back to their classrooms. We then got to see the inside of a PoP classroom and to observe students learning. The great thing about PoP is that in addition to building sturdy structures for children to learn in, they continue to support each and every community through teaching training and onsite support.
In Ghana, the teachers are taught tools to support active classroom engagement. And by active, and I mean active. The kids sing, dance, and move around because that's a part of their culture. Outside of recess, I don't remember ever having that in elementary school.
The junior high school was a different story. Currently, PoP only supports elementary education, due in part to their focus on literacy and obvious financial constraints. The junior high structure was over 20 years old and was in pretty bad shape. The mixture of rain and a "faulty roof" clearly impacted students' learning experiences. Here, they are moving their desks so their books don't get wet.
I left this community with mixed emotions. On one hand, I was so inspired to meet such great children. At one point, a handwashing station tipped over and multiple boys jumped up to help put it back up. The students even show up early to sweep the classrooms – there is so much pride in learning. That isn't something I've seen in the United States – children just ready to jump up and help. On the other hand, the conditions are pretty bad. I can understand not being able to learn when something as common as rain interferes.
Next, we went to a site that showed an example of the "before" environments. Can you imagine going to school here? Whether your answer is "yes" or "no"… it gets worse…
On Saturday, we were honored to attend an inauguration ceremony. After a few speeches and being gifted a goat (literally), we got to see the before and after. Saying it is a stark contrast is an understatement.
Even more touching was the way the children ran and cheered into the new school once the ribbon was cut. After both getting dance lessons from the kids and teaching them to nae nae, we went back to the hotel to drink some beer and tell some stories.
That night, we really got to know each other. Up until then I wasn't sure if my style was gelling well, but after a few good stories I had at least a few of them on the dark side.
Sunday… just.. wow. We went to a community near Togo where there must have been over 100 community members on site helping build. With PoP, they provide supplies and skilled labor, but require the community to provide the unskilled labor. It both ensures that the community is committed to bringing in the new school and that it is something they truly want. To see 50 grown men giving up their Sunday to literally make 4000 cement blocks to construct a school… I was just in awe. I think football dominates Sundays in the United States.
After that we got in a small taste of tourism when we went to a monkey sanctuary. We were told a beautiful story about the history of the land and how monkeys came to be as important as they are. Then we fed them and I nearly lost my shit.
And all of a sudden, Monday was our last day. We visited a commnity where PoP is piloting e-readers. It was so cool to see a classroom full of students on e-readers in the middle of a village with minimal electricity. They were actually in the middle of a sexual education lesson when we began observing. It felt rather intrusive but also really neat that they are learning about that at a young age.
I left Ghana with such great respect for both the people in the communities and the impact Pencils of Promise is making. The children and families I met have such a strong desire for education and bettering themselves. They are hardworking and kinder than I see most days. Because of this trip, I know I will be a life long supporter of PoP. Beyond that, I formed great relationships and learned about starting a company from a fantastic CEO. I believe I have an even better appreciation for education and am excited to discover how I can impact the next generation. I have a deep understanding of what some lives and cultures in Ghana look like, and I will continue to reflect on the ways life differs in the United States. I believe this experience has even influenced the way I will raise my own children some day. It was the trip of a lifetime and I am so thankful to have been given this opportunity. I'm pretty much pinching myself right now.
Update 10/23/2015: a version of this post was also published on the CommonBond blog.

Steamboat police trying to ID man and woman who stole $5,700 worth of bikes
The Steamboat Springs Police Department is hoping the public can help identify a man and woman who were captured on video last month stealing two expensive bicycles in broad daylight from a local bike shop.
The bikes, a neon green men's Specialized Enduro FSR Comp 29er and a women's Specialized Camber FSR Comp 650b, have a combined value of $5,700.
The unknown man and woman took the bikes from Ski Haus while it was open June 17.
"It appears they were working together," Police Commander Annette Dopplick said of the man and woman.
The theft occurred about 2:15 p.m. during a mountain bike dirt demo event at the store.
Dopplick said Ski Haus discovered the thefts by reviewing surveillance video.
Anyone with information that might lead to the bikes and the individuals who took them can call Crime Stoppers at 970-870-6226.
A $500 reward is being offered for information that leads to the return of the bicycles.
Tips can be made anonymously.
Tips can also be called to local police by calling 970-879-1144.
Dopplick urged anyone who is buying a bicycle on Craigslist or any other website to proceed with caution.
"You can certainly have an officer help you check to see if the item is reported stolen," she said.

5 Now it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people; and they said, "Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
6 So he made ready his chariot and took his people with him.
7 Also, he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out with boldness.
9 So the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zemphon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
11 Then they said to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt?
12 Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, 'Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness."
13 And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."
15 And the LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen."
19 And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.
20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — When New York Jets coach Rex Ryan learned Tuesday that Ed Reed had been released by the Houston Texans, he rushed upstairs to general manager John idzik's office to make a pitch for the nine-time Pro Bowl safety. About 30 hours later, after Reed cleared waivers, it was a done deal.
"It's only a rumor that I pulled a hamstring," Ryan cracked Thursday, recalling his hurry-up offensive.
Everything happened quickly.
After a midnight meeting with Idzik, Reed returned the facility early Thursday morning, signed his contract, practiced on aching feet (new cleats) and claimed he's ready to help the Jets for their playoff push. He's expected to play in a situational role Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

Our Responsibility to the Environment encompasses various aspects like resource use, GHG emissions, water and waste management, wildlife and biodiversity conservation, environmental management and renewable energy production. Our various group companies have initiated different plans accordingly.
We at the Atha Group are extremely invested in understanding and improving our environmental performance. Given the fact that we work in the mining and steel and power sector, we have decided to measure our environmental impacts in terms of our GHG emissions, water consumption and material consumption. We have also invested heavily in the renewable energy sector and have wind power projects in five Indian states (Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu). We are also in the process of setting up solar power project in Rajasthan. As a company we have set ourselves the ambitious target of generating 500 MW of renewable energy by 2017.
Sustainability makes sense environmentally, socially and in our business. By 'doing the right thing' we can help protect and nurture the valuable resources on which we all depend, making our business more efficient and effective, whilst also recognising the opportunity to meet the growing demand for sustainable products and services. Recently the Group has put immense focus on capacity addition in renewables; majorly through acquisition of existing assts.
Our presence in the domain of Mining business helps us to effectively understand that resource optimizations is one of the most significant aspects of any business; therefore harnessing renewable energy is one of the best possible way to ensure responsible usage of resources and we are very much into the same
The Group forayed into generation of Wind Power Energy through the total installed capacity of 54.2 MW. The Group also has investments Solar Energy with a total installed capacity of 10 MW.

The local chapter of an international philanthropy gives away $1,000 a month to help people help others.
Written by Rosalind Fournier // Photography by Beau Gustafson
Max Rykov remembers that when he and Dr. Dionne Mahaffey teamed up to start a local chapter of The Awesome Foundation—an international organization that grants money, no strings attached, to people or groups with ideas to improve the community—there were a few skeptics. "It seemed too good to be true," Rykov says. "Some people didn't think it was a real thing, but it is."
There are more than 80 chapters of The Awesome Foundation around the world—including many in the U.S. but also chapters in Australia, Brazil, Canada, the U.K., and one in Moscow. Each chapter is self-funded through its members, known as trustees, who together award monthly grants of $1,000 to support projects designed to help the community in small but impactful ways.
"The idea is to come up with a project that benefits your community in some way," says Rykov, who launched The Awesome Foundation with Mahaffee in early 2107. "It can be anything from a community garden to a hip-hop show that raises awareness about social justice issues."
Anyone can submit an idea through the chapter website, and traditionally the trustees have voted on the applications without outside input. But this spring the group decided to shake up the selection process by hosting a monthly event, open to the public, called "The Grand Idea." In this new format, five finalists give a live presentation, trustees follow up with questions, and then everyone there has a chance to vote on the winning idea.
"I think this will grow the Awesome Foundation community, allow people to network, and even if your project doesn't win, you've gotten exposure for it and can meet people with resources and connections who might want to help. You might also get feedback that can help you craft your vision a little better." The first Grand Idea party was held in March.
"I think everyone has a great idea of how they can improve their community," Rykov says. "While $1,000 is not a lot, it can be seed money to get something going. And it can make a lot of impact."
The foundation has made grants to help grassroots initiatives get brand-new ideas off the ground as well as contributions to larger organizations pursuing new projects. Ruffner Mountain—the privately held 501(c)(3) urban nature preserve in East Lake—received a grant to attract new visitors by hosting a "night festival," an art- and music-based celebration of nocturnal wildlife. Then there are the many unknown groups or individuals who have won grants to achieve small but potentially significant dreams. Meet a Girl Scout who built a shelter for people waiting to catch the bus; a man helping people whose jobs face potential elimination in a changing economy; and a cosmetologist looking to bring hope and confidence to people going through tough times.
The Bus Shelter
Every day, Ava Davis, a senior at Indian Springs School, used to pass people waiting for the bus on her way driving to school. If the weather was bad, it bothered her that they had neither a cover to protect them from the elements nor a bench to sit on while they waited. At the time Davis was exploring ideas for her Girl Scout Gold Award Project, and it hit her: she wanted to build a bus shelter.
"I just felt like people deserve a place to sit and have cover from the weather conditions while they're waiting for public transportation," she says. "I think a shelter is needed for every bus stop, and I hoped if I built my own that other people would see how impactful it is to their neighborhoods and communities."
With input from the Birmingham Jefferson County Transit Association, she chose on a stop in Woodlawn near her home in Avondale and found local architects to help her come up with a viable plan. Then Davis—who says her previous construction experience was so limited, she first had to learn to use a drill—physically built it with additional elbow grease from some of the architects she had consulted for the project.
Davis—who says the project might never have happened without her grant from the Awesome Foundation—has since written a guide for how to replicate the project and plans to distribute it to other Girl Scout troops, neighborhood associations or anyone else who wants to build bus shelters in the community.
Davis remembers returning to the bus stop about a week after the shelter was finished. "I met a mother and her child, and it was really kind of emotional," she says, "because I built that. And when I go to school, I always pass to see it, and I always feel good to see people sitting there."
Futureproof Bama
Everywhere he went, it seemed Taylor Phillips was hearing about human jobs that are at risk of being replaced by technology. One day he decided to dig more deeply into the issue—and what he saw worried him. "I started reading article after article about how technology, as a blanket term for robots, analytics, automation and artificial intelligence, was going to start taking people's jobs within the next 10 years."
Then Phillips narrowed his research to Alabama. "I pulled numbers off a government website and found that of the top 40 jobs in the state of Alabama, 16 have a 50 percent chance of being completely eliminated. Some of them were all the way up to a 90 percent chance, and there were a couple at 98 percent chance." He particularly worried about truck drivers, many based in Alabama, who risked losing their jobs to autonomous trucks.
That was near the end of 2016, and 31-year-old Phillips became determined to help prevent what looked like a looming crisis at home. He created Futureproof Bama, a nonprofit dedicated to education and innovation for people at risk in Birmingham as well as outlying rural areas. Not long after, he heard about The Awesome Foundation. "I started reading more about it and figured, 'Hey, I'll just give it a shot.'"
Futureproof Bama's grant was approved in February 2017. Phillips says up until then, he had been paying all the startup nonprofit's expenses—concentrating in the beginning on building awareness—out of pocket. Now he had money for social-media advertising to ramp up those efforts, and the newfound online presence helped Phillips and others on his staff of volunteers arrange meetings with community leaders to discuss the problem and ways to help workers adjust proactively to changes in their industries. "The Awesome Foundation basically opened all of those doors," he says.
Phillips says he continues to follow the Awesome Foundation's work and hopes one day to join the group and help them fund other people's dreams. "If it keeps going this well," he adds, "I would love to be one of the trustees eventually."
Dream Makerz
Hiranda Brock inherited her gift for hairstyling from her mother, who styled hair for friends, neighbors and clients for as long as Brock is able to remember. By the time Brock was in high school, she'd learned enough from her mother to start doing her own friends' hair and knew she'd found her calling. After graduation, she went on to earn master cosmetologist license, an instructor's license in cosmetology, and a bachelor's in business administration.
She worked for a salon for a while but eventually went on her own, traveling to clients' homes to do their hair. Then it occurred to her. Freed from the traditional salon setting, she could do hair for anyone, anywhere. Why not offer her talents to people living in shelters? Brock, with her best friend and business mentor, Ebone Kimber, and other volunteers began going to Jesse's Place—a women and children's shelter of the Jimmie Hale ministries—every other Saturday before expanding their outreach, hosting pop-up shops in public housing communities. When she posted a picture from one of those events on Facebook, a trustee from The Awesome Foundation encouraged her to apply for a grant, and she did.
"About a month later, I was scrolling down Facebook and saw, 'Dream Makerz receives $1,000.' I just started screaming. You can have an idea, but you don't really know other people would ever invest in your dream."
Brock says she stays motivated by seeing the tangible, positive effect that pampering people going through difficult situations can have. "Cosmetologists are like therapists," she says. "There's a personal connection. I don't care who you are—if you are in my chair, you are my best friend. So when we go into these different facilities with people who are in one of the roughest times of their life, I know that I have been blessed with the ability to be the light for them or give them hope. They start telling you, 'I have a job interview, or 'I'm getting ready to transition out and be on my own,' and you celebrate with them. And it's so crazy, because those women and those children have helped me and spoken life to me more than I have to them. You would be amazed at the wisdom and words of encouragement that they are able to speak." •

Nintendo issued an update to Miitomo today to offer users a new way to invite their friends into the app, including through email, iMessage, and LINE. The update isn't without problems for some users however, as Nintendo has issued a statement regarding some crashes experienced by those on iOS.
According to the message, those running iOS 9.3 and 9.3.1 may experience crashes when attempting to invite a friend to Miitomo by using the email option. Invites sent through iMessage or LINE should be working fine and Android devices aren't impacted by the crashes at all.
Nintendo has confirmed that developers are working on fixing the bug, but until then those of you using Miitomo on iOS need to be careful if you're inviting new friends to the app.

Several recruiting trends are altering the way that companies are hiring and the way that job-seekers are applying for positions. Here are some trends that we are noticing in 2016 so far.
In the Digital space, hiring strategies are changing. Employers seem more interested in what value you can immediately bring to the company rather than how much experience you have. This means that
employers are more willing to take a chance on someone with substantially less experience.
Since, employers are more interested in what value you can bring, it is important to illustrate your potential as clearly a possible. This means that it is no longer about creating a generic resume that can be sent out in bulk with a cover letter, but being more selective and tailoring your resume for each position that you apply for. Pay close attention to:
- Tailoring your experience based on their requirements
- Highlighting relevant education and/or internships
- Calling out any certifications, awards or recognitions
- Get involved with industry associations, user groups and online communities
- Backing up your experience with recommendations on LinkedIn.
- Look the part. Make sure your LinkedIn picture aligns with the client or industry you're targeting. If you're targeting start-ups, you may want to reconsider the three piece suit.
With sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster, Careerbuilder, GlassDoor and others, it's easier for job-seekers to find open positions, which is drastically increasing the amount of applications employers receive. And due to the amount of time that it takes to sift through hundreds of applications, companies are becoming more reliant on talent networks and staffing agencies to help filter and streamline the process.
Talent networks include fans, followers, current and potential employees or those who would refer talent to your company. Companies are hiring more referrals than ever before, with some of the best firms getting nearly 50 percent of their new hires from referrals. So be sure to like, follow and engage with any potential employers on social media to get a leg up on the competition.
On the other hand, staffing agencies are third party sources that help both employers and job-seekers. Staffing agencies have the contacts that can help you to make connections and land a job. Here are some things to keep in mind if you do plan on using a staffing agency to connect with a company:
- Are you working with the right staffing agency? Find experts in your field. Don't go to an agency that primarily works in admin and finance and expect them to have UX or design openings.
- Don't be afraid to pick up the phone. Get to know the person you're working with because they will be representing you to your new potential employer.
- Recruiters need to move fast. So try and help the recruiter help you. Make yourself available for a phone or in-person interview asap.
- Listen to their feedback and advice. It's their job to know their client and what their hot buttons are. More than likely, they've had numerous conversations with the client and will understand what makes a "perfect" match.
- Do some research first and know which industry and/or clients you want to target. Help them focus on who and where you think your dream job will be.
The recruiting industry is rapidly changing and it is important for both job-seekers and hiring managers to stay up to date on the latest recruiting partners, tools and trends. If not, positions may have trouble being filled and job-seekers may struggle to find a job.
Mediabarn understands that the recruiting process can be stressful. We are happy to answer any questions that you may have!

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Ciriaco d'Ancona
An Italian antiquary whose family name was Pizzicolli, born at Ancona about 1391; died about 1455 at Cremona. During voyages of commerce throughout the Orient he collected a great store of inscriptions, manuscripts, and other antiquities, returning in 1426 after having visited Rhodes, Beirut, Damascus, Cyrus, Mitylene, Thessalonica, and other places. He enjoyed the patronage of Eugenius IV, Cosmo de' Medici, and the Visconti of Milan. In 1443 he visitsed Morea in Greece, where he copied inscriptions mentioned in the correspondance of Filelfo, Traversari, Leonardo Aretino, and others. He is accounted the best equipped, most learned, and accurate worker in the province of epigraphy during the period of the Renaissance. His accuracy in copying ancient inscriptions is said by De Rossi (Inscriptiones Christ. Urbis Romae, VII saec antiquiores, II, 377) to be "the chief credit and undying glory of Ciriaco ". Most of his manuscripts have been lost; those published after his death are "Itinerarium" (Florence, 1742); "Epigrammata reperta per Illyricum a Kyriaco Anconitano" (Rome, 1664), the latter very rare. Mazzuchelli mentions other works in his "Scrittori d'Italia" (s.v.).

Land Rover has launched the facelifted Discovery at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The updated 4×4 gets improved fuel economy, subtle styling changes and improved audio systems. The order books are now open and deliveries will start in the UK from November.
At the front the Discovery gets a new grille and bumper plus redesigned headlights with daytime running lights with a distinctive swoop. The badging has changed too with Discovery now written on the bonnet rather than Land Rover. There are also two new alloy wheel designs while the optional Black Design Pack – which includes 20-inch black alloys – is still available.
The engine badging no longer features on the tailgate, instead it's moved to the front doors, giving the back a cleaner appearance. Just one engine is available – the 3.0 SDV6 with 256PS and an eight-speed automatic gearbox. It's been improved though with economy up to 35.3mpg and CO2 down from 230g/km to 213g/km meaning a big drop in annual VED.
New features for the 2014 Discovery include Wade Sensing, Blind Spot Monitoring, Closing Vehicle Sensing, Reverse Traffic Detection and T-junction Cameras. It will also be available with a Meridian audio system. The standard system has eight speakers and 380 Watts of power, while the Meridian Surround system produces an impressive 825 Watts output and features 17 speakers.
