We might want to put two videos side by side for a number of reasons. Sometimes it is because we might want to look at the same thing, but from two different perspectives to grasp a better idea of it. At others, it's simply because we want to draw comparisons in two different plots at the same time that we want to look at them playing side by side. Sometimes you might want to compare the quality of two different videos for which you would want to play them at the same time to make a better judgement. People who share content online on sites like YouTube might want to use this feature in order to create an interesting video.

My 16 year old recently got her driver's license. After a few days of excitement, she walked into the kitchen and said, "I don't want to drive anymore."
Eyebrows raised, I looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why not?"
She replied, "I just don't want to stress about finding where I am anymore and figuring out how long it takes to get there. I don't want to be a grown up!"
(And there might have been an angry man who honked at her mercilessly, but I digress.)
I walked over and hugged her and said, "I'm sorry you don't want to drive anymore."
She slumped a bit and sighed, "I think it's more about not wanting to be a grownup."
I gently whispered in her ear, "If it makes you feel any better, there are days I don't want to be a grownup either."
We looked at each other and she remarked, "You know that one sermon where the pastor said when we get to heaven we will rule there with God? I don't want that. I just want to be a child. Let someone else figure everything out."
I wonder if Mary wanted to be a grown up. Sometimes I forget that she was probably around 14 years old when the angel greeted her with the overwhelming announcement that she was going to have God's son.
I don't know what the days were like for Mary after the Angel's visit. I don't know if she traveled with someone for the 80 mile trip to her cousin Elizabeth's home or if she spent the long journey alone processing through confusion, doubt and fear. What I do know is that when she arrived in the hill country of Judea, Mary began her prayer with, "My soul magnifies the Lord."
Magnify. I know it means she praised and glorified the Lord, but "magnify" also means "to make bigger." As I consider what my soul magnifies, it isn't always the Lord. I magnify my worries, my fears, my struggles, my longings. They become all that I see. I want to learn how to magnify the Lord more.
I tend to think if I were Mary, my less than magnificent Magnificat might have sounded something like this:
"Why did God pick me? This doesn't make any sense. No one is going to believe me. Does God even know how hard this going to be for me? I can't do this. I am so young. I have my whole life ahead of me. What if Joseph leaves me and I am all alone. Is this what I want? I don't know. I just want to be happy."
I am not saying Mary didn't wrestle with the angel's news, but what we see by the time she greets her cousin is that her soul made God bigger and herself smaller. Mary didn't use the word, "I" one time in her Magnificat. Her focus was on the Lord.
Listen to what she understood about Him:
He has been mindful…
His mercy extends…
He has performed mighty deeds…
He has scattered those who are proud…
He has brought down rulers and lifted up the humble…
He has filled the hungry…
He has sent the rich away empty…
He has helped….
Remember my daughter's plea that someone else would figure it all out? God has. That is the good news of Advent, Christmas, and every day.
It doesn't mean it will be easy. Consider some snapshots of Mary's life. She delivered her baby away from home, after traveling about 70 miles while pregnant, which must have been slightly uncomfortable even in the best of circumstances. Sometime later, Joseph and Mary took their son and fled in the middle of the night as refugees to Egypt because the evil Herod wanted to kill Jesus. Mary continued to obey God in spite of the uncertainty, in spite of the fear, in spite of the loss of familiar comforts. And more than thirty years later, she stood near the cross and watched her bruised and beaten son die a horrible death. I cannot imagine the depth of her pain.
But her soul still magnified the Lord. She rejoiced in God her Savior. She trusted and believed that "His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation."
When my daughter lamented that she didn't want to rule in heaven and just wanted to be a child, I know she was speaking from a place of weariness and worry, but when I heard her say those words, I found myself getting teary. Life has felt a little scary lately and trying to figure out how to make things better just gets overwhelming. So in my daughter's desire to be a child, I heard wisdom. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Can we allow ourselves such rest this Christmas? Can we magnify the Lord and grow in our understanding and trust that He is with us? He figured things out by giving us His son. That is our hope. That is the gift of Christmas. He is with us. Let us continue to encourage one another with this Good News.
Merry Christmas!

THE PENITENTIARY WARFARE SERIES: Not Allowing The Past To Shape The Future: The Jyrone Parker Interview
Coming of age as an African American man in this country can present many challenges. If you are forced to do so without the guidance of a male figure in your life, things can get even more convoluted.
Our community is flooded with families who have been, directly or indirectly, torn apart by the criminal justice system.
However, that story doesn't end the same way for everybody, for our next Penitentiary Warfare Series interview we spoke with Danville, KY business owner & entrepreneur Jyrone Parker who's father spent 22 years in prison but still managed to be an intricate part of his life and childhood.
During our interview we talked about business ownership, the importance of residual income, growing your own food and much more…….
Ok Jyrone, Talk to us about the Dynamics of your household growing up??
So my father was incarcerated when I was 2 years old. I grew up with my mom and a bunch of men coming in and out of my life, some of them were really influential and some of them were really detrimental. So, because of that, there was a lot of mental/emotional instability in terms of masculine influence.
Growing up as a young black male there's an urge to want to identify with the older black male in your life. However, it became a pattern, every time I would get used to someone they would leave the picture. So, there's a lot of emotional instability that came with that and for a while, I wasn't dealing with it in a healthy way.
So, overall how do you think being raised in that type of environment effected you?
I remember at a very early age promising myself that I would never do that to my children. I also promised myself at an early age whenever I get married I'm only going to get married once. And I have stuck to that. I've been married going on 6 years now and we have two children.
Of course, we go through trials and tribulations like every married couple but I have a code. I'm not going to do to my children what was done to me. I know that I'm an outlier. I know the majority of the people who were in a situation like mine end up repeating the cycle so I owe it to not only my children but to myself to not repeat that cycle.
You spoke briefly about your father going to jail when you were two years old. Talk to us about your relationship with him throughout their process?
So I grew up visiting my dad quite often, anywhere from 1 to 4 times a month. We also spoke multiple times a week, he was very active in my life. He effectively raised me from prison.
For example, when I was in school, up until when he was released, he would find out the ISBN numbers of my textbooks in special-order them so he could help me with my homework over the phone. He would even help me prepare for my test. During our 20-minute phone calls more times than not he was reading to me.
He got me a subscription to Popular Science and Wired Magazine with is commissary money which helped foster my passion for engineering. So growing up in that environment and being around other children who had their fathers imprisoned as well created this weird dynamic. We were actually growing up together.
I'm seeing these people every week as well as keeping up with their kids in the outside world. I want to reiterate, I understand that I am an outlier. Alot of the kids I made relationships with are in jail now. There is even a portion of them that are dead as well. If they're not dead or in jail they're messed up. Their fathers didn't do nearly as much as what my father did and I can actually remember going to visit my father and hearing some of their fathers glorify the crime life to there kids.
So, I'm very blessed. With everything that we been through together, we don't hate each other. In fact, our relationship is stronger than a lot of people I know who parents never went to prison, who were in the same house with them. But they're not talking to their kids and not spending time with them. I missed out on the physicality, I do miss that. It does bother me that I miss 22 years of that but the spiritual, emotional, and psychological relationship I have with my father I wouldn't trade for the world.
So, how is your relationship with him today?
He is currently working full time, he came out and he's killing the game. He's happily married and he lives just 30 minutes down the street from me. He gets to see my kids on a consistent basis.
The funny thing is, my kids are currently the same age me and my sister were when my father went to prison. So, he came out and he's vicariously living through them.
Now you mention your kids. How many children do you have?
I have two. I have a son and a daughter. My son is 4 years old and my daughter is 2 years old.
What are some of the biggest lessons you learned from your father as well as the other men in your life that you're using to raise your children?
Okay, I will tell you about the good things that I learned as well as the bad things I learned not to do. So, my brother's father who is from the Bay Area was the one that actually got me into computers. His name is Brandon and he married my mom. They were married for a few years and of course, they hade my brother.
Brandon and my father actually speak, they have a relationship. I tell everybody that I have two fathers. I have my biological dad and I have big Brandon because even after he and my mom got divorced, he still took care of me. I would go to California and spend the summer with him. He would be there for me emotionally as well as physically when my father couldn't do so. One thing I learned from Brandon was empathy and patience.
On the flip side, a lot of the detrimental relationships I learned from, and it taught me what not to do. Some of these men were abusive to both me and my mom and not just physically. A lot of these men projected their insecurities on to us.
Even as a child, I recognize that you have to learn to accept responsibility as a man. I don't make excuses for myself… never. If I mess up, I mess up. I feel like you can't call yourself a man if you only own up to your successes and not your failures. I would see these men accept credit for the things they didn't do but always have an excuse when they messed up.
Even at a young age, I noticed that and I thought to myself I'm not going to be like that. The consequences of accepting responsibility is power and I want to be a powerful man. I want my children to respect me I want my son to want to emulate me. There are so many boys out there who honestly don't want to emulate their fathers because their fathers aren't doing what they need to do. I don't want to be associated with that crowd.
In your opinion, how important is the father to the overall structure of the family?
No Nation rises above that of its men…..none, not in antiquity. Not to say that the women are unimportant, they are important, but it's the Ying and the yang. However, when you attack the man you're attacking the head you're attacking the central processing unit of the family, the community.
On the macro level is the community but on the micro level, it's the family. Even if the father and mother don't want to stay together. Honestly, I'm a very cynical person when it comes to that. I really don't see any reason why if you bring a child into the world you're not going to stay with that person.
Some people disagree with my hardline on that but it is what it is. In my opinion, you can't say you love your children and your family but then you skip out on them. Some men say: "Oh it's the baby mama or I can't deal with the stress" or "I didn't sign up for this" Once you decide to penetrate that woman and create a life, it isn't an option for you not to handle your business. Like I said no Nation rises above that of their men.
Ok, last question. Talk to us about J Computer Solutions and your reason for starting your business?
So I started J Computer Solutions in high school but I officially LLC'd it three years ago, that's actually another thing that my father pushed me to do. Before I started the company I was doing websites and apps for people. I even did work for churches and people in my neighborhood. It got to the point where I was having a lot of clientele.
My father always stressed to me, as a man, you need to have multiple streams of income and the importance of starting a business that you can pass down to your family. At this point, J Computer Solutions is my most successful company but I've done several startups. I'm an app developer.
I brainstorm, think of an idea, then spend 50 bucks to make it a company. I'm not afraid of failure. I don't even like to use the word failure, I either win or I learn. Right now, I work from home full-time because I want my children to grow up and see their father working. A lot of kids see their father's leave for work but they don't see their father working, I want my kids to see it so they will have those values.
When they get of age, during the summer, they're starting businesses and they're not going to have a choice. I'm going to teach them to be entrepreneurial. I'm heavy into investing and I'm starting to get into real estate. I put about three apps a year out just to keep my skills sharp. I run my blog as well as my YouTube channel and I am doing very well for myself.
Even if I was only making $20,000 or $30,000 a year I would still be very happy because I'm doing what I want to do. Honestly, I feel it would be disingenuous to tell my children to go chase their dreams if I have achieved mine. Around the 1930s, one out of every five black families were business owners now less than 10% of black people own businesses.
Back then, people in the community farmed as well. I think one out of every three households farmed which is something I do also. I try to be very active in the community. I'm from Louisville Kentucky but I presently reside in Danville, KY. The vast majority of the black population in Louisville lives in West Louisville. I'm trying to talk to people and tell them: You know you can grow food in your house right?
I was showing them how much money they would save by growing there food. I would say out of a hundred people maybe two or three people would take my advice and start growing their own food. The ones that took my advice would always come back to me with success stories about how much money they saved once they started growing there own food. The money they saved allowed them to move to a better environment or use the extra money to start a business, etc, etc results varied.
That can be used as great residual income. Right now, maybe 50% of my income residual and it is based on the apps and different things that I do. So, I'm really big on residual income it allows me to spend more time with my family. By the time I pass away I would like to have helped our community be more self-sufficient I believe in the "teaching a man how to fish" philosophy.

|Surf & Turf BBQ Contest
|news - BBQ News 2004
|The 23rd of July we arrived in San Diego, CA. This was the first contest we had ever done one year ago. We really wanted to come back and do well, we did, we didn't set the world on fire but we finished 4th overall, with a 4th place in brisket our only trip to the awards stage. The Contest had 18 teams which was pretty good I thought. Surprised we had finished so high in the pack. Consistant in all catagories, that's the key. Gene from Out of this World BBQ had put on another fantastic venue, and raised a good amount of money for Boys and Girls Clubs. My daughter Janelle was there to help us and that always makes it a special occassion. We had a great weekend!

It's been a year now since Marissa Mayer took over as CEO of Yahoo.
In that time, investors and the general public have seen their share of drama, including a flurry of big acquisitions, personnel cuts, a telecommuting controversy and a fashion faux pas on the red carpet. Not to mention the stock has soared about 70% since she started the job.
There may be plenty of questions or anticipation about Mayer's vision for the future of Yahoo, but if the past is any indication, we could see plenty of bold moves ahead.
Here's a look at some of the highs (and lows) of her first year as CEO.

There's been a whole lot of champagne around here lately, but really, could there be a better time for it? (Let's be honest, any time is a good time for Champagne). New Years Eve is on Friday and I'm prepped and ready to celebrate with a few bottles of bubbly, Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper. Those two seriously crack me up every year!
I might also add a few lollipops to the agenda. Candy is a food group in my house, at least until the January 1st diet's start calling my name. So I'm going to live it up and enjoy all the sugar I want until then.
These champagne lollipops are the perfect way to enjoy all that New Years has to offer. Sugar, champagne, and the two combined. 😉

Yowza, would you dare taking a hike up the Ha'iku Stairs aka the Hawaiian stairway to heaven? It's a trail on an island of Oahu that starts off with a simple wooden ladder attached to the cliff and transforms into metal narrow stairs with 3.922 steps to the top. The trail itself is hidden between the mesmerizing greenery of the island and the morning mist that makes the whole hiking experience totally unbelievable. This gem is officially closed to the public but that doesn't stop all the thrill-hungry tourists and locals to sneak in at night to spend the early hours of the morning admiring the most swoonworthy sunrise there is. And if that is not worth the hike, they are also rewarded by the glorious 360-degree view of Oahu!
Oh boy, that would be something special, wouldn't it? Shame I am terrified of heights. How about you? xo
P.S: Remember the beautiful lantern floating ceremony?
P.P.S: Plus a few other breath-taking spots that you might like including this teahouse on top of the world!

SOURCE: "Alice's Invasion of Wonderland," in PMLA, Vol. 88, No. 1, January, 1973, pp. 92-99.
In the following essay, Kincaid addresses the complex mix of innocence and aggression in Alice and argues that Carroll's books are, "above all, about growing up. "
In the fifth chapter of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice is alarmed to find that her neck has stretched to such "an immense length" that her head is above the trees. The narrator adds, however, that the alarm soon passes and that she "was delighted to find that her neck would bend about easily in any direction, like a serpent." This simile, like other Wonderland similes, is more than ornamental; it suggests a critical and subversive perspective on Alice. Though this perspective is generally submerged, it is present in both of Lewis Carroll's great studies of the joys and dangers of human innocence, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass...

Strongarm Airstrip
|Strongarm Airstrip
Strongarm Airstrip under Horde control
Strongarm Airstrip was an Alliance airfield in Jade Forest, overseen by Captain Doren in his campaign against General Nazgrim and the Horde. It was from here that Doren produced the gyrocopters that struck down Hellscream's Fist, outside of Thunder Hold. The Horde led by Nazgrim captured the airstrip but abandoned it sometime later.
Captain Doren established the airstrip because the ruins he set himself in and surrounding jungle were too dangerous for the air traffic of the gyrocopters given to him by the Skyseeker.[1] Pandaren Volunteers from Honeydew Village, curious of their new neighbors, agreed to help. They soon realized that the site was a war base, but the soldiers there kept them against their wills.[2] The Alliance also stockpiled fireworks launchers, perhaps to use them as improvised weapons, as they were capable of bringing down gyrocopters.[3] Along with Doren, the base was staffed by a few other personnel of note: a dwarven death knight named Morgus Grimhatchet, the famed Corporal Jackson Silver, and the two engineers responsible for the base's supply of gyrocopters: Master Engineer Cogswing and Gyro-Mechanic Lavenderp.[4]
After regrouping, Horde forces struck out from the recently captured Nook of Konk, eliminating the base's soldiers and lieutenants, freeing the workers, and destroying the gyrocopters. Doren was found in his holdout, the Den of Defiance, on the outskirts of the base. After a confrontation with an adventurer, Doren succumbed to the malignant influences of the sha.[5] After his defeat, General Nazgrim claimed the airstrip in the name of the Horde, and used it to launch attacks on the nearby Forest Hozen. Once the Horde forces there allied themselves with the hozen, however, the base was left in flames.
Please add any available information to this section.
- While the Horde forces are at the base:
- Shademaster Kiryn serves as an innkeeper and skinning trainer (the cave does not serve as an actual inn)
- Sergeant Gorrok serves as a mining trainer
- Shokia serves as a herbalist trainer
- After the Horde group moves on, the area phases to contain no forces and remains on fire.
- Early in the Mists of Pandaria beta the area was a Horde-based called Hellscream's Fist instead.

Or, more accurately, a dozen views of the same apple. Twelve postcards made for a Valentine's Day swap. They'll be dropped in the mailbox on February 14th. (I think they were supposed to have arrived on the day, but a postmark will have to do. I kept changing my mind about what I'd paint and send, right up to the last minute.)Posted by EGP at February 13, 2008 11:59 PM
This is great! out. Each one has it's own special something but I really love the layout of the dozen.Posted by: Genine at February 14, 2008 8:29 AM
Awesome, Elizabeth -- really beautiful work!
Thanks for participating!Posted by: Chookooloonks at February 14, 2008 9:49 PM
Thank you Genine and Karen.
The thing I loved about this project (besides getting all the beautiful mail) was the thought that this is the only moment these twelve little paintings will be in one place, together. They are headed far across the world from each other, and yet they will always stay connected: in memory, and in this snapshot.Posted by: Elizabeth at February 15, 2008 1:23 AM
A wonderful idea. I think I will do my own postcard series. They would be such good gifts. Like the fact that you kept it simple.
I will pass it on to some of the art teachers I know. It is also something the children could do using media.Posted by: lilalia at February 15, 2008 3:05 AM
Wow SOOOOOOO lovely! Almost fell off my chair when I saw this... hope your swap partner loves it!Posted by: Mithi at February 15, 2008 8:52 AM
I got the apple postcard second from the right in the middle. It's totally cute! Thanks!Posted by: karen at February 16, 2008 4:21 PM
These are lovely. It's a shame to seperate them.
They look as if they should be displayed that way.
Aww, you participated in the post card swap.
I did the one last summer, but I'm quite busy right now a bit closer to home, so to speak.
I do love seeing the different artwork by other folks on their blogs.
The apples look great together like that.
Maybe they'll meet again some day.

For several years, I drove a Jeep that was manufactured in Canada. The speedometer was in kilometers, not miles, per hour. It took a bit of effort, but after awhile, I was able to determine equivalents for km/h and mph fairly easily. Working that out in my head seemed to make the miles, er kilometers, go by faster. It made me wonder why we have two systems of measurement anyway.
In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed into law the Metric Conversion Act, which declared the Metric System of weights and measures to be the preferred system for United States trade and commerce. The law directed departments and agencies within the Executive Branch to take appropriate action. Forty years later, U.S. students still have to learn two systems, and adults are often confronted with making pesky conversions in their heads.
In Texas, students in the early grades begin to learn about the "Customary System," which involves using inch rulers and learning fractions, such as halves, fourths, and eighths. By the end of grade five, students must be able to convert and solve problems involving customary units of length inches/feet/yards, etc. For example, how many 8-ounce cups of fruit punch can be poured from a 2-gallon jug? At the same time, students in every other industrial nation would use the metric system to determine the number of 200-milliliter cups of fruit punch in an eight-liter container. That involves simply dividing 8,000 by 200 to get 40.
The key to the metric system is the use of "base 10" numeration. Ten tenths make one, ten ones make ten, ten tens make one hundred, and so forth. Counting with metric units and performing operations with them is the same as we normally do with money. In the same way as 8,000 pennies is $80, 8,000 milliliters is 8 liters. Interestingly, we can thank Thomas Jefferson and the American Revolution for our base 10 system of money. Adopting a base 10 monetary system allowed us to discard the English system of pence, shillings, crowns, and farthings. Imagine how much more instructional time our students would spend today learning about fractional units of money.
Our decision to keep teaching customary units requires that students, and their teachers, will keep spending a considerable amount of instructional time learning two systems instead of one – the most difficult of which is one virtually no one else in the world uses. It has been shown that teaching the customary system requires one additional year of mathematics instruction per student, which adds an additional $8.5 billion per year to the cost of K-12 education. Today, it is estimated that, overall, the U.S. economy loses over $6 trillion dollars per year by using two systems of measurement. In 1999, the U.S. lost a Mars probe, at a cost of $125 million, because of a conversion error between customary and metric units. The costs associated with changing signs and relabeling packaging seem well worth the reward.
Recently, Democratic presidential candidate Lincoln Chafee suggested we complete the transition to help keep the U.S. economy number one. I like that he is basing his candidacy, in part, on ways to benefit everyone, instead of select interest groups. Some may think his proposal un-American. But I believe the sooner we make the change the better. And I'd like to know what the other candidates think about it.

text: A Requirements Management Allegory 16 June 2006 Tyler-Jensen Commentary My wife won the lottery. Two hundred thousand dollars. Uncle Sam took half. She said, "I want a new car. Go buy me a new car." So I took the checkbook and bought a brand new Honda Accord for $30,000. When I arrived home my wife said, "I didn't want an Accord. I want an SUV." On the way back to the dealership, an accident occurred. I escaped with my life but the car was a total loss. I still had the checkbook so I wrote a check for $40,000 and took home a nice, new Dodge Durango. I was so pleased with myself. But my wife was not. She said, "The Durango is too small and I don't like the color red." So I turned around and took it back to the dealer. I asked for my money back but he whipped out the magnifying glass and pointed out the small print: "absolutely, under no circumstances can you get a refund." "Besides," said the salesmanager, "we've already spent the money and we can't take a new car in trade. It's just policy." So I drove the Durango to the Ford dealership and on the way was rearended by a large truck. The Ford dealership gave me $10,000 in trade and I wrote a check for $40,000 more for the last of the new Ford Excursions. I drove the Excursion home. Finally my wife was happy. "Now let's go buy the boat," she said. "Sorry, honey," I said. "We're out of money." So we have this giant SUV and we can't afford to put gas in it, and we have nothing to pull behind it. But, we do have an SUV that cost $100,000 and in three years will be worth less than $20,000. And as a compensating note, I can haul a ton of groceries with it which helps save the cost of gasoline to get to the grocery store in the first place. Now if only we could find another lottery to win.

A proposal in Lincoln Park, Chicago3 mins
I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. – Algernon: The importance of being earnest
My friend Vikrant shared this on Facebook and it triggered a 20 year old memory.
First of all, I don't entirely agree with Algernon. I'm in vehement agreement with his last sentence for sure. Nothing romantic about proposing? Now that's a bit unfair.
American men have a fine tradition of proposing to (and often surprising the living daylights outta) their better halves. I happen to know two such proposals.
My ex-colleague and friend Laurie was ambushed at the finish line of her first marathon. Soon after her fiancé hugged and congratulated her, he quietly muttered "Are you ready?" to his buddy and, upon getting confirmation, went down on his knees and proposed. Laurie, already flush with post-race endorphins, would have one more memory attached to an already momentous day. And there was no need for a payment to Marathon Photos.
Our friends Jason and Julie had a long relationship before they tied the knot. Along the way, Jason did a 6-month teaching-English-in-China gig. Along the way, they did TWO around-the-world backpacking vacations. During their second soirée (chronicled beautifully here), against a picturesque backdrop in some exotic island, Jason proposed to Julie. There were no selfie sticks back then and no friend in tow but I'm sure that moment is forever etched in their memories.
My story is a bit different.
Met this gorgeous girl on Jun 15 at a networking event in an art gallery in Chicago. I was deeply smitten. By the end of the evening I had made enough of an impression for her to acquiesce when I casually closed with "Hey, I enjoyed talking to you. Could you share your email address so we can catch up sometime?"
Six weeks later we were on our first date. Later that month (after date #10 or so), I was announcing to my Evanston friend "she is the ONE and I would propose to her one of these days".
My friend predictably responded with "What's the hurry? Take some time before you pop the question."
Of course I ignored him. Which is not to say I proposed to her on date #11.
Dinner at Copper Chimney. Nicholas Payton concert at the Jazz Showcase. Dinner at Shrees in Downers Grove. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan concert in Downtown. Dinner at the Indian Monsoon. Fareed Haq and Rudresh Mahattappa concerts at the Green Mill. Bike rides down Lake Shore Drive on the GS-700ES. Walk from Grant Park to Field Museum of Natural History to catch R. Carlos Nakai in action. Chicago city orchestra. Dave Brubeck with Bobby Militello. An all-night road trip to Wisconsin punctuated by a 4 am stop at Denny's.
At some point the biweekly trysts turned into daily sojourns. We couldn't spend enough time with each other apparently.
Having a 700cc Suzuki bike as the sole form of transportation added to my courtship cool quotient (I reckon). My Evanston friend's Saturn and my Park Ridge friend's Accord came in handy for some planned dates. Chicago's public transit network bailed us out rest of the time.
But winter was approaching and I wanted 4 wheels.
Oct 11 dawned. I bought a Saturn SL2.
That was the evening I would propose to my girlfriend but even I didn't know it until the precise moment.
It was a Friday evening and we were watching an 80's era Hindi movie in my apartment.
I wish I remembered at which point in the movie it happened. All I recall was that there was some kind of whitespace (it was a VHS tape so couldn't have been a commercial). A rare flash of deep certitude overcame me and I knew it was time.
I popped the question.
The beautiful face with perfect eyes and exquisite nose became suffused with incredulity and spoke.
"Oh my God! Are you sure?"
"Can you give me some time to think about it?"
"Of course. Take your time."
(A few minutes later)
Bingo Little had found his Rosie M Banks.
P.S. For the next few days, she'd keep asking me "Are you sure you meant it? Because if you aren't.. or have any second thoughts, I won't hold it against you."
To which I'd keep replying "I couldn't be surer."
P.S (2). So there you have it Vikrant.

A new survey finds that Chinese automobile buyers are increasingly value minded—and open to options to buying new cars. Last 12 months, the Japanese auto agency mentioned it anticipated that the African market would swell by as much as 5{41078122a729c331bda5236fefcacf72789ab0dc91523e0bfb01c582e3f0e115}. Its sales were extremely concentrated in South Africa, where it offered 70,000 items, and North Africa, where it offered one hundred,000 units.

Whereas shoppers generally want foreign automobile manufacturers to Chinese car manufacturers, our survey exhibits that the same choice does not lengthen to EVs Given the early stage of the EV market in China, it is nonetheless a level playing discipline for both domestic and overseas auto manufacturers.
To higher understand what China's auto consumers assume and how they behave when making one of the biggest purchases of their lives, McKinsey carried out an extensive survey of over 3,500 shoppers in March. All European auto markets registered progress in August, with Italy topping the charts, where registrations elevated by 20.1 percent, adopted by Spain (14.6pct), Germany (eight.3pct), France (6.7pct), and the UK (3.3pct). In contrast, retail registrations are nonetheless performing above prior year level, supported by sturdy order banks generated within the first half of the year and a visible improve in market incentives in current weeks.

Lady Fanshawe's Receipt Book: The Life and Times of a Civil War Heroine
By Lucy Moore
Atlantic Books 416pp £20 order from our bookshop
What was it like to be a Royalist lady during the English Revolution? The image of Cavalier women, lavishly clad in silks with plunging necklines, their ringlets pulled tightly back from their foreheads, still has a romantic attraction, even if the popular view of women in English history is shaped by endless accounts of Henry VIII's six wives. We have forgotten our Civil Wars, our republic and the ferment of ideas that eventually found fertile ground in the American colonies. In a world turned upside down, it was women who kept families going, providing a semblance of security and continuity where there were only uncertainty and hardship, defending homes and reputations, trying to safeguard dwindling financial resources in the increasingly desperate hope that there would, one day, be a return to order and a society in which they were not the defeated. Their stories deserve wider attention. Now Lucy Moore has brought one such Civil War heroine, Lady Ann Fanshawe, out of the shadows, using her recipes as a basis for exploring her life.

Humdinger Love addict
"Love is the light that guides the feet of man in the wilderness"~ Sai Baba
So here we are. Jupiter has changed signs, Saturn is moving direct, Mercury too. Mars has entered Scorpio. And the beat goes on. But it doesn't have to be a war beat. It can be the beat of an open heart, sipping in the nectar of love. We do have choices. And often the smallest one is the most important. How to live in love? Make it a choice. Become addicted to seeing, being LOVE. Its easier than you think. And if the truth is told, you can't get there through the mind. The mind will lead you to a winding road of reasons why you shouldn't or couldn't see the love in the world all the time- because hey, THERE IS WAR, AND POVERTY, AND HEARTACHE.......
BUT... and this is a big one.....there is always a chance to BE in the space of LOVE. Try it. As an exercise. Just watch your reactions. Just watch the mind, and decide that you wish to see the LOVE instead of the FEAR. Try it for a day. Catch yourself every time you begin a judgment or start to be critical of yourself or others. OH, you have to turn the TV NEWS off for this- at first. Because there isn't any 'happy' news on the news. And the trick is to remind yourself of all the things that are GOOD in YOUR WORLD. You are going for the SUGAR, just like the Hummingbird. That is your fuel.
Jupiter has entered LEO. Its in a tight square to Mars. That's a 'working it' sort of aspect. Its not bad. Its actually good. Jupiter is about 'over the top' energy. And Mars is full steam ahead (but in Scorpio it will be very covert in its actions). So Mars pushes Jupiter to take 'risks'. Nudging with taunts. Well, if this is a risk of sharing the heart, it can lead to all sorts of adventures! BE BRAVE says Mars. BE OPEN says Jupiter. Waltzing from stage right comes Saturn. The tasks-master is still in Scorpio. Saturn adds the steady hand of digging deep, but not so fast that you miss the gems you might find along the way. Those sparkles can only been seen in the 'light' of day; the light beams from an open heart. This is open heart surgery time. How much blood you lose depends on the condition of your thought process. Do you pump out the anger, fear, revenge, jealous thoughts? Or do you expand to your child like nature to play, cherish, and embrace the sunshine?
HAPPY ACCIDENTS are a natural result of thinking and believing in them. Uranus is the ruler of 'accidents'. The unexpected. I actually prefer the words- magical manifestations. So plant that in your mind. "Uranus= MAGICAL MANIFESTATIONS". Jupiter will be doing a dance with Uranus. This dance I will call the Hummingbird DIVE. Fast, with great speed and without fear. The Hummingbird Dive will become very popular in October.Everyone will be doing it. Dance halls (YOUR LIVING ROOM) across the world will be filled with joyful people doing this "HUMMINGBIRD DIVE". However, you can start practicing the moves with your beloved NOW. It means you will not hold back. You set your sight on the goal, and you see it as successful. THE GOAL? The go-all of being more centered in love more of the time, each and everyday. Leave the rest up to the wind and your wings of faith. Your faith is key.
Practice makes Perfect. No shortcuts.
On Aug 12th, Venus moves into the sign of Leo. On 17th she holds hands with Jupiter, and on the 24th she flirts with Uranus. I am a romantic its true, but not bias- as this is pure fact--- THAT'S some good-loving aspects!! So we have a window of time that we can really tap into the creative expression in all of its forms. The third week in Aug promises to bring some big smiles, relief from war and all the ugly traits of the ego.
The new moon in Virgo on the 25th can push us to practical ways to show love. "HELP EVER HURT NEVER" my teacher says. My money is on the bet that by the end of the month we all can clean up a bit with a sweeping heart in action.
By the 27th we have some friction between Venus and Mars; Tango replaces the Hummingbird dive.Spicy replaces Sugar. Oh, Nina will be singing about "sugar in her bowl" but we all know that SPICE is what makes the loving hot.
Bon Appetit!

"It's the demographics," says Republican Mark Crockett, who calls his district "Utah's bank of swing voters." That takes in Emigration Canyon, Sugar House east of 1700 East, all of Millcreek Township, Holladay and most of Cottonwood Heights.n
Crockett is the slightly sardonic incumbent who sets up a counterpoint in personality traits as he faces the warm fuzzies of newcomer Jani Iwamoto.n
This year, there are four county council seats up for grabs. Randy Horiuchi takes the prize, as usual, for Best Billboard Campaign. This election season, the bigger-than-life Horiuchi professes "He's Got Game," in various sporting outfits—sometimes with a little remark "for hockey moms." Take it as a sneer, or a thumbs-up, he's hoping to engage both sides of the Sarah Palin debate this way.n
Horiuchi's opponent, Republican and county Sheriff's Captain Steve DeBry, is focusing on polls that show he's neck-and-neck with Horiuchi even though he's brought in a tiny fraction of campaign donations—$21,000 to Horiuchi's $144,000. At press time, a Salt Lake Tribune poll showed DeBry with a 4-point lead over Horiuchi.n
"You need to raise money when you're a Democrat," Horiuchi says. "My elections are always kind of close … I'm non-Mormon, a Democrat and non-white—it's difficult to get elected." That hasn't stopped him from winning county elections four times since 1990.n
Despite Horiuchi's public humor, the race that's been most publicly pugnacious has been in District 2 where Democrat Paul Pugmire is battling incumbent Michael Jensen. It's a west-side district that leans heavily Republican. Have you heard the shocking news that long-Democratic Magna—where Jensen lives—is moving toward the GOP?n
And finally, Councilman Marv Hendrickson is leaving office and his GOP seat up for grabs—one more potential prize for the Democrats. Democrat Roger Harding will face Republican Max Burdick, setting up a classic insider/outsider race between two residents of Sandy.n
So you might think that Burdick, a property developer and longtime Sandy planning commissioner, would have the election bagged. But Harding has outspent his opponent. As of September's reports, Harding had raised $32,000 to Burdick's $20,700.n
Frankly, that's about as close as it gets in this year's county races where campaign coffers are all over the map. Pugmire has raised $33,000 to Jensen's $56,000, and Iwamoto has far out-raised Crockett—$71,600 to $22,700.n
But Crockett is indifferent, at best, to the funding disparity. He's contributed $14,000 of his own money and guesses he should be making more calls, but he's just doing the sign thing and walking. Crockett's signs are blue, white and red. Iwamoto jokes that X-96 radio jocks say her signs with the big daisy look like advertising for feminine-hygiene products.n
Crockett, meanwhile, can bask in the endorsement of The Salt Lake Tribune, which was wowed by the virtues of his incumbency—"knowing the ins and outs" of county government.n
Both Crockett and Iwamoto are lawyers, although Crockett's career focuses on finance—consulting, hedge funds and, now, as the principal in an investment firm. And, because the county faces a flat budget year, he's looking at savings on the jail, where more is spent than on any county program.n
The mothballed Oxbow Jail is an issue for most candidates. The GOP-dominated council has favored alternatives to jail time rather than pouring money into opening the jail. "Isn't it interesting that the Democratic progressive agenda is putting more people in jail while the Republicans are interested in finding alternatives?" Crockett quips.n
He wants to improve air quality and likes plans to limit automobile idling while creating a "bike plan" with corridors throughout the county. Crockett also has spent much of his time on Millcreek's municipal needs—a direction that piques Iwamoto.n
"His focus has been on Millcreek, and that guides a lot of his decisions," she says. Crockett admits he acts a bit like a mayor, but that's because he's the closest to an elected official they have. He wants to shore up the township's infrastructure and make it feel more like a community. Iwamoto thinks he wants to push Millcreek toward incorporation, although the whole thing's iffy since the Legislature will have to revisit the township law before 2010.n
Iwamoto has a long history in community activism starting as a University of Utah Hinckley Institute intern. She went to Washington, D.C., to work for Rep. Rob Bishop, and was mildly surprised to find how conservative he is. "I told him, 'I thought you were this liberal hippie,'" she says.n
With a background in journalism and mass communications, she stayed on in Washington, doing newsletters for the Senate Republican Conference and working complaints at The Washington Post. Later, she worked for a Republican representative from Michigan.n
After graduating in law from University of California-Davis, Iwamoto practiced in the San Francisco Bay area and volunteered with low-income and high-risk youth. In 1998, she and her husband moved back to Utah to be near family and raise their children.n
This is where she became involved in revitalizing Japantown, and found it "weird" to be appointed to the Convention Facilities Advisory Board after fighting the Salt Palace over its impact on Japantown. But it's all part of the balance she's learned.n
Interestingly, she and Crockett have yet to go head-to-head. Councilwoman Jenny Wilson stood in for Iwamoto at a recent environmental forum, and Wilson drew swords with Crockett over his seemingly flippant response to the county's hiring of an arborist. While he does have a penchant for sarcasm, Crockett thinks serious priority should be given to hiring more district attorneys.n
Speaking of style, Pugmire has given county electioneering an edge it hasn't seen in years. He called Jensen on the carpet for absences—almost a third of formal council meetings. Still Jensen, a deputy chief of the Unified Fire Authority, has managed to get elected council chairman.n
Jensen also managed to dig up a blunder of Pugmire's, in which he responded on a high school reunion questionnaire that he was "born a poor black child." Pugmire has apologized for what he calls a wrong attempt at humor, via Steve Martin's line in The Jerk.n
Pugmire has a long history in politics in Idaho, Arizona and Washington, D.C., and runs a small public relations consulting firm. He was spurred to run over the Jordan School District split, which he calls fundamentally unfair to the west side.n
Harding, from District 6, also saw the Jordan split as a disaster and wants to make sure it happens fairly now. That will be a hard job, given legislative support for the split.n
Oxbow's an issue for him, too, and he thinks the vote against opening it was obviously partisan—5-4 again. Harding is also a supporter of open space and better environment.n
The Democrats think he's a winner. The bad vibes dogging House Speaker Greg Curtis and Rep. Greg Hughes—both Republicans on the east side of the county—may work to Harding's favor. But Burdick is emphasizing that, even though a Republican, he's no fan of partisan politics but believes in good communication. He wants to focus on the budget. "I'm worried about the money, and any tax dollar we pay is a dollar we can't spend on our family," Burdick says.n
That includes looking at how efficiently county programs are run—including the heretofore-sacrosanct golf courses.n
While the Democratic Party has been high-profile in these races, it's pretty much leaving Horiuchi alone. He's managed to pull out close wins every time and has been pummeling DeBry where it hurts. DeBry lost the endorsement of several law-enforcement groups, although he says it was the power and fear of incumbency that did it. "He's conniving," DeBry says of Horiuchi.n
Unlike the other Republicans, DeBry wants Oxbow opened but without raising taxes. He wants to focus on drug prevention, too, since drugs drive crime. And he thinks Horiuchi is in office for the wrong reasons.n
"Look at his personal businesses and lobbying and financing companies," DeBry says. "I believe he is in this position basically so he can take care of other issues in his personal life."n
On development issues, "It is what it is," Horiuchi says. He got tagged for a couple of controversial zoning votes. One, at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, was actually decided by the Board of Adjustment. The other, the Family Center on Fort Union, caused a long, drawn-out court battle and left bad feelings all around.n
He's become a supporter of the "foothills and canyons overlay zoning ordinance" and says he's become a lot stricter over time. And he has a major interest in sports and sports facilities.n
For the county council, this election will tell who gets to keep the game ball—the Republicans or the Democrats. tttt

Wot I Think: Perspective
A Whole New Angle
One of the most intriguing games to appear at this year's GDC was unquestionably Perspective. While certainly robbed at the IGF Awards, it received much positive attention, and deservedly so. A fresh approach to perspective-arranging platforming, blurring 3D and 2D gaming in a way that you'll not believe your brain will put up with, it's entirely free to get hold of. Here's wot I think:
When I first saw Perspective, my eyes rolled. They were wrong to, but they did it. They've been punished since. But in the world of indie platform gaming, the gimmick rules highest, and Perspective's looked too familiar. Perhaps it's a great testament to the state of indie gaming that a concept where line-of-sight creates new pathways for exploration feels over-used. However, getting my hands on Perspective – as you can too – revealed a game that was far more sophisticated and impossible-seeming than I'd imagined. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's powered by witchcraft.
Watch as I attempt to describe it with words: You character is a 2D sprite, who exists on a 2D plane. However, the world he's in is 3D, explorable by you from a first-person camera. You can walk the corridors of what is essentially a peculiarly labyrinthine arcade, freely of the 2D sprite. The magic occurs when you hit the left mouse button, your perspective freezes, and 2D chappy then moves about based on a flattened interpretation of whatever you were looking at. The 3D world is filled with blue and orange blocks, shelves and walls. Your 2D friend can only touch blue, and dies if he touches orange. So you have to create pathways for him to move from one arcade cabinet to the next, or indeed within the levels contained in the cabinets to reach their goals.
And it's not that simple, either. Because 2D fellow gets frozen in place when you're in 3D, it can mean moving the camera means he's floating above nothingness until you engineer a block to be beneath him. Switch modes again and he's now standing on said block. Or perhaps there's an evil orange pillar blocking his way? Move around until the scenery obscures that orange from view, but leaves blue either side, and he'll be able to jump past it unharmed. In the end, you've got a sort of single-player co-op game, between two dimensionally divided chums.
So we have a brilliant concept. How about the delivery? Surely something so complicated can't be usefully limited? Seems it can. The levels of Perspective, while certainly not overly difficult once you've figured out the tricks, are fantastically well realised. And indeed it's figuring out those tricks that provides the genuinely magnificent moments. Seeing your sprite at one end of a long corridor, with impassable orange walls down the entire length, seems impossible. Until you realise you can jump upward from the top of the blue wall you're on, into the blank space of the ceiling, then freeze, rotate the view so you're facing the other end of the corridor with your chum high above your head, let him fall a screen-length, freeze, lower the view so the blue at the far end of the corridor is beneath him, then unfreeze once more. He's down the other end now.
I think what becomes most remarkable about it all is how it stops feeling remarkable. Yes, of course I'm lining up distant walls to match near ones, to let my character run along them both as if they're the same flat surface, only to then run to that distant wall in a different corridor where he now stands. Sure, that's just how things are. It becomes intuitive, despite being so outlandishly impossible and unreal.
And it keeps delivering new tricks. As you play you'll likely have noticed that when you run toward or away from a surface the sprite (I wish they'd given him a name – I'm going to call him Charles), he stays the same size. This means getting very close to him means he'll essentially shrink in comparison to the scenery around him, and of course appear giant the further you move away. Again, that's a necessary device for moving young Charles about.
It's also far bigger than I was expecting, and starts to develop its own implied story. Later levels feature many new tricks, none of which I'll discuss since it was a pleasure to find them for myself. And it's fair to say that later on it gets an awful lot more difficult. The sort of difficult where you think, "Right, I need to stop playing for a bit, let my brain reset." That's a good sort of difficult.
It's never the prettiest game – you'll have no trouble believing this is an expanded version of a DigiPen final project, finished in the team's spare time. Just some anti-aliasing would have made a world of difference. A complete rebuild in a fancier engine wouldn't be a bad thing, either. Perhaps for a commercial release. But the sheer brilliance of the concept here is enough to avoid any real worries about presentation. In fact, it's hard to imagine a better choice for Valve to snap up for their concept for a Portal 3, really. It lost the Technical Excellence award at this year's IGFs to, insanely, the technical nothingness of Little Inferno. A very… weird situation. However, it went on to win enormous approval from an enthused audience at the Experimental Gameplay Workshop, which features the rather splendid oddity of people applauding excellent mechanics. It received much applause. You'll likely applaud it too.
It's entirely free, which means there's absolutely no reason whatsoever not to check it out. It makes your brain work in a whole new way.

Garden Companions
It's nice having garden cats, it seems that whenever I'm working in the garden there's a cat nearby. They bring me gifts of mice and voles, they happily roll in the catnip I planted for them.
When I'm spending LONG hours in the garden like I am this time of year, it's nice to have the cats to keep me company.
Do you have any pets that "help" you in the garden?Filed under Around the Garden | Comments (3)
3 Comments to "Garden Companions"
Susie, I have one feral cat that roams the neighborhood since I've started gardening Terra Nova Gardens. She had two kittens one year but that's the only time I saw her with babies. I didn't see her last year and thought maybe she was killed but then just a couple days ago there she was again walking past the front of the garden. Now that I have the garden fenced in, I don't see as many wild animals as I used to see. Even the wild turkeys are only one or two instead of a flock of about 20. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. To me it's a sad thing to steal land from the wild life, but then they are a greedy bunch and always want it all. They still have many times the area of my little garden to roam through.
I'll have to replant some things as a hail storm came through a couple days ago and destroyed every thing above ground. Tomatoes got hit the worst but I have 38 tomato plants in the wing just for such an event. I won't be getting my first tomato on July 5th like last year but maybe more toward the end of July. Potatoes of course will survive. The sweet corn planted wasn't above ground just yet so that was good. I didn't have the green peppers out yet so that was good as well. It's just a normal year of gardening with volatile weather. I have learned to always have plants in reserve to replant if necessary.
Have a great garden cat day.
to Nebraska Dave's comment
Rosie, our barn kitters, loves hanging out with us when we are outside. She was supposedly a feral cat, but I'd say she's just skittish. When I don't pay enough attention to her, like when I'm digging or seeding, she'll come up behind me and give me a love bite on the leg. We have a buff Orpington roo, Roobawkca, who likes hanging out with us too. For the most part he is good about leaving the garden alone, he just likes company. Then if the sheep have access to the pasture next to us, they'll come and visit us while we work. They'll get trimmings and weeds too. It's fun to have a supportive group to cheer you on.
to Whit's comment
Hi! I love reading your blog and have for years but don't think I've ever commented. I love my cats so much, but was curious about how you handle yours using your garden beds as a litter box. I'm a little freaked out at the thought and didn't know what you did the keep them from using edible garden space for their potty. If you have any ideas that would make me feel better about cats + garden in the future. Thank you!

In an age of heightened global political tension, divided communities and with the whiff of revolution in the air, it comes as no surprise that hip-hop heavyweight Common has something to say.
His eleventh* studio album 'Black America Again' has been crafted from the same cook book as the previous ten with its mix of styles, tempos and collaborations, topped off with a liberal serving of Common's cleverly considered conscious word craft – this time focusing in the main on the inequalities and injustices currently playing out in the US.
The musical base of this 12 course taster menu (15 if you include the intercourses) is mostly smooth and mellow but the topping is sometimes tough to digest when you ingest the message it seeks to convey. Tracks like 'A Bigger Picture Called Free' and 'The Day Women Took Over' bubble under with their back room jazz double bass, trumpet breaks and flourishes of flute. Others like title track 'Black America Again' are built of sturdier stuff, all striding piano chords and borderline angrily delivered lyrics, eased only slightly by the swelling strings.
The production (courtesy of long time collaborator and tour drummer Karriem Riggins) frames Common's and the plethora of guest vocalists' words exquisitely. The album requires at least three straight listens right off the bat; one for the sounds, two for the words and three for the blend of it all. Each time you'll find something different to latch on to, every time you'll walk away thinking hard about what's being said. Essential listening for 2016 given all that is changing in the world.

Avedon's Dovima with Elephants tops Christie's at $266,500
Avedon's Dovima with Elephants tops Christie's at $266,500
Richard Avedon's Dovima with Elephants shared the top spot with his Brigitte Bardot
Richard Avedon's celebrated work Dovima with Elephants led Christie's auction in New York yesterday (October 4).
The sale was devoted to Avedon's stunning photographs and featured some of the rarest and most sought after prints from the artist's oeuvre. Dovima with Elephants, which is perhaps Avedon's most celebrated work, shared the top spot of the auction with his portrayal of Brigitte Bardot, both of which achieved $266,500.
While Dovima with Elephants sat comfortably within its $200,000-300,000 estimate, Brigitte Bardot soared past its valuation of $100,000-150,000, achieving a 77.6% increase on estimate.
Dovima is wearing the first dress designed by Yves Saint Laurent
Dovima with Elephants was first published in the September 1955 issue of Harper's Bazaar and set a new standard for fashion photography upon its release. The dress Dovima is wearing in the photograph was the first designed by Christian Dior's newest assistant, Yves Saint Laurent, and the shot is renowned for its stark juxtaposition of the supermodel's soft gown against the rough texture of the elephant's skin.
According to Christie's, the example at auction is preceded by just a few other prints, most notably the original engraver's print used for Harper's Bazaar and another which is held in the Smithsonian.
Avedon's 1959 portrayal of Brigitte Bardot is noted for its focus, featuring just the model's face rather than her body. One of the most famous sex symbols of the 1960s, Avedon's photograph shows her as an elegant beauty, double-exposing her hair to further highlight its importance to her iconic look.
The print is numbered 12 in an edition of 35
Also featuring in the sale was Avedon's brilliant portfolio The Family, which sold for $206,500 against a $150,000-250,000 estimate. Learn more about the portfolio with our preview of the sale.
Also selling yesterday, at another New York auction, was Avedon's photograph of Bob Dylan, which made $24,000.

The app itself is beautifully done and it's so easy & fun to use! I wanted to find a way to get more use out of it, so I decided to launch a new Instagram series called #quotablefamily.
The idea actually came from my mom — she wanted me to make her magnets of different things that my family members have said over the years. Each of us kind of has an iconic go-to phrase, and she wanted to capture those. Along with that, my niece is coming up with some gems these days, so there are quite a few fun quotes flying around. Mom wanted to put them on her fridge somehow, so at the end of the series I'm planning on making magnets out of the Instagram prints.
Until then, follow along! Make sure you find me on Instagram and follow my feed for the newest #quotablefamily posts every day. And I'd love if you joined in, too! Just tag me in your photo and use the hashtag #quotablefamily to make sure your photo ends up in the photostream. Let's do this! xoxo
