Christian Listening
I was delighted to read your editorial "The Work Ahead" (11/26), on the results of the election. It was the most nonpartisan, nonjudgmental Christian approach to a political scene that I have ever read. I have a hard time dealing with the "opposition," but the following sentence in your editorial really helped: "Only when one holds to the principle that the 'other side' might have something meaningful to say does genuine listening become possible." Thank you for helping me to be more tolerant. America serves us well.

Is your Jesuitical slip showing? "Of Many Things," by Matt Malone, S.J. (11/26), defends the stance of Joseph McShane, S.J., president of Fordham University, regarding the College Republicans' invitation to Ann Coulter.
Yet America's editorial in the issue of Oct. 15, 2007, "'Jaw, Jaw,' Not 'War, War,'" applauded Columbia University for inviting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, to address its School of International and Public Affairs, as "in the best tradition of university life...."
Surely, Ms. Coulter, no matter how "mean" she might be in communicating her ideas (some of which I find offensive), deserves the same protection extended to Ahmadinejad. It would have been in the best tradition of what a liberal arts university should stand for.

Editor's Note: Mr. Ahmadinejad is the head of government of a sovereign state with which the United States is in ideological and potentially literal conflict. Ms. Coulter is a popular commentator. Different standards and expectations apply. Suffice it to say, America does not categorically oppose providing a public platform for those with whom we disagree. For an example, see the letter above.
Needing Verification?
Re "Great Expectations," by James Martin, S.J. (11/26): Father Martin's exploration and analysis of the annunciation story and subsequent visitation carefully avoids consideration of an alternative reason for Mary's "setting out in haste for a Judean town in the hill country"—namely, that she needed to know whether her cousin was really pregnant; only then would she accede to the angel's request.
Some years ago, having read an article by the late and greatly missed Sally Cunneen ("The Mary We Never Knew," Commonweal, 12/21/07), I decided to take a second look at an aspect of the story as reported by the Evangelist Luke that had troubled me since I was a late teenager: Mary's ready acquiescence to a situation that could have put her in mortal danger. I am aware that this version of events is not quite in keeping with current teaching, but to my mind, it makes a much more believable and human story.

Musical Appreciation
I read John Anderson's appraisal of Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" with enthusiasm ("Abe, Honestly," 11/26). His praise for the performances of Daniel Day-Lewis and Sally Field echoes my sentiments exactly. But I feel he has unfairly accused Spielberg of relying too heavily on John Williams's music.
To call this score "intrusive" is, in my opinion, a slam at the very idea of music in film. Certainly, the music in earlier Spielberg films like "Jaws" is frequently quite dramatic, but the subtle use of strings and piano in "Lincoln" does not qualify for the word "intrusive." Nor does the trumpet theme have the blasting "Gabriel" sound to which Mr. Anderson alludes. Perhaps the theater volume was set higher for Mr. Anderson's screening than for my two viewings (thus far).
It is unfortunate that many film critics complain about music in films—when it is noticed at all. As I tell the students in my college film-music class, the actors supply the motion in the motion picture, but the composers provide the emotion. Music may sometimes be manipulative, but it often helps to convey the story behind the screen images.

Stupid Human Tricks
The editorial "Changing the Climate" (11/19) sadly overlooks a main cause of a lot of the "trail of destruction and misery" caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy.
Stupid humans have defied nature by building cities below river level (New Orleans) and atop moving oceanside sand bars (New Jersey). This ludicrous practice is encouraged by money-mad land developers and is made possible by dice-throwing insurers and coddling government agencies that waste "bailout" tax dollars to rebuild such insanity.
If I should crazily erect my home in the caldera of a rumbling volcano or the truck lane of a heavily-traveled superhighway, I should eventually expect my house to be destroyed, while possibly suffering death myself in the course of the destruction.
Let's not blame the climate for thoughtless human actions in city-building.

'Reverend' Restored
The diaconate for women continues to be a fascinating topic. Having been ordained a deacon on my path to priesthood and having served in that capacity, I believe that as an Ecumenical Catholic priest and a woman, my experience holds some insight. Therefore I responded to "Why Not Women?", by Bishop Emil A. Wcela (10/1), identifying my full name, as required: Rev. Sheila Durkin Dierks.
When my letter was published in the "State of the Question" (10/22), it is interesting that the "Rev." somehow disappeared from my name, though it does appear before the name of a male deacon and male priest who also had letters published. I wonder what happened at the editing desk at America? Is there a "Reverend" on the cutting room floor?

I'm trying to do something a little different this year. For those of you who don't know, unless it's a week inspired by a holiday, or memorable occasion, our word of the week is picked by opening up a dictionary to a random location, waving a finger about without looking at the page and pointing it to a word, i.e. it's chance. So, this year, rather than standalone drabbles, I am going to try writing a coherent story, Flight of Fire, in 100 word episodes, each one inspired by the word of the week. I have a vague outline for characters and direction of Flight of Fire, but specifics will be decided by the word of the week.
'Love,' Reynaulght spoke gently, and instantly, Benedict's hatred flickered into something closer to shock.
"I," the man began, but Benedict was clearly beyond words, and Stephan sensed any sound from him would only make things worse.
Instead, he just watched as Benedict turned and walked out of the forge into the kitchen.

CLAREMONT, Calif. (Apr. 15, 2017) – Sophomore Katie Johnston (Livermore, Calif. / Livermore) and the Caltech women's water polo team saved their best team performance for last when they battled host Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges on Saturday.
The Beavers took the Athenas to the limit with a four-goal fourth period after scoring one goal in each of the first three quarters. Three of Caltech's goals in the final period came off the shot of sophomore Brittany Percin (Lake Tahoe, Calif. / Stanford Online), while Johnston scored the fourth and finished with two goals herself. While Caltech matched the Athenas' scoring output over the final frame, the final barrage was not enough for the Beavers to salvage a SCIAC victory. Freshman Mackenzie Wooten (Las Vegas, Nev. / Northwest Career and Technical Academy) scored her first goal of the season get the Beavers on the board in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Percin and Johnston showcased their attention to detail defensively by coming away with five of the team's six total steals.
Percin finished the season with 48 goals in 16 games, good for the third best scoring season in school history. Already occupying second place on the list, she has two more years to chase Ashley Grant's record of 56. The Beavers will close out their full schedule at the SCIAC Championships this weekend.

I've always wanted to travel. When I make a bucket list, nearly every item on that list involves traveling. I can't think of a single place that I wouldn't love to visit and learn more about. Greenland, the Middle East, the Sahara, Siberia. Sure, I'd go there.
I've got my dream locations. Italy, the Virgin Islands, Australia, Thialand, Belize, Egypt, Greece, China. But honestly, I'd be happy going anywhere, just as long as I'm going.
I often feel that I've never been anywhere. Obviously, that's not true. Just because I've never been anywhere that required a passport doesn't mean that I haven't traveled. I've been to Vancouver Island, the Bahamas, and almost half of the US states.
For the last several years, we've been significantly restrained by tight budgets and even tighter schedules. But I didn't let that stop us from exploring. We've visiting many local spots, as many state parks and forests and sites as I can find. We've visited nearly every major city within a day's drive from us. Traveling doesn't have to be expensive or exotic. Our boys have loved our trips to tube down rivers, to explore caves, to hike through forests, see historic places.
I spend ridiculous amounts of time planning island get aways, researching cities in Europe, checking ticket prices to Africa. I know exactly which beach house I want to in Hawaii.
All those trips are still just day dreams. With Hubster still in training, the miniscule dent we've made in my student loans, and three small children, my world tour can't start just yet.
This summer, however, we have two whole glorious weeks of vacation, all of us off at the same time. And I know just what we'll do. We'll pack the mini van to bursting, open the road atlas, and hit the open road, traveling through states we've never been to, hiking through forests, eating local foods, finding beaches to play on.

Just bored. What do you think? I think it looks horrible
Most Helpful Guy
I imagine you had a good design going through your head which is nice. I feel like your design is being hurt by drawing stereotypes.
What do I mean "drawing stereotypes?"
Here is what I mean...
Quickly draw a house and a tree however you want.
Drawn them? Ok. Did your drawing look like the one at the bottom of the page? If so, you fell into the stereotype drawing. You've been raised and grew up with the idea of a typical house being a square and triangle with maybe 2 windows and a large rectangle door, maybe a small chimney... And a tree is just a squiggly bush thing with a log at the bottom.
If you want to further see the wonders of psychological drawing stereotypes, sit in front of a mirror and draw a self portrait of your face in 20 minutes or less. Stop. Put your drawing aside somewhere you can't see it. Now, draw a pic of your parent with the same gender-- for you that'd be female. Don't look off any pics, just draw from memory of what she looks like and give yourself only 20 minutes.
Once that is done, compare pics. Do your pictures look similar? If so, you are being hurt again by drawing stereotypes. You have an idea of what things should look like on a face and it is hurting your creativity and drawing.
Getting rid of drawing stereotypes is the first way to move on to better designs and more advanced art. These are things I started in the beginning of my art classes freshman year of high school. The only house I drew was the house below. After 4 years of drawing 5 times a day for an hour, I got MUCH better.
In your drawing specifically, your drawing stereotypes are being hurt by grass being generically 'pointy' blades. The flowers are being portrayed as circles with squiggle circle around them followed by a stem stick with one or two leaves. The stars/cloud/sun are being portrayed as the interpretation of concepts you may have grown up with.
Try expanding your horizons. I'm sure you can :)
Maybe look and observe at these things in nature as you see them day to day. Does the sun really have a defined circle or is just kind of a fuzzy ball? Is grass really that pointy, all in a same height and all in the same direction? Are stars all the same size, and spaced evenly in the sky? Do flowers look like that or are they more complex?
It is just things to think about. I know you can do it :D
TL;Dr; It is great you are doing art and having ideas, but you are being hurt by drawing stereotypes. Try observing nature and changing uo your drawing :)
drawing five times a week*
Not five times a day for an hour LOL
Omg, I love your opinion!! <3 I'll definitely try genuinely next time, it took me like 20 secs to draw this so I guess it should be expected it was horrible.. I don't think I can draw 'people' (can you by the way? ) but I'll definitely try!!
Good luck! With enough practice, you'll be great in no time :)
I can draw people, but I've always been more of an animal person myself.
Here are some things I've done before.

I am unclear about this report. The patch was not meant to fix every interval issue, but merely to improve multiplication and division computations. Does it do that? I think the 23:60 is a time rounding issue that isn't covered in this patch. I am not against fixing it, but does the submitted patch improve things or not? Given we are post-feature freeze, we don't have time to fix all the interval issues.

A poorly performing dishwasher can significantly increase the time you spend doing dishes, not to mention potentially serious issues with the appliance overflowing. Problems with cleaning and more serious indicators like leaks can be caused by a clog somewhere in the unit, but they're frequently fixable by appliance owners.
It's important to understand where the problem starts. A dishwasher that leaks or holds stagnant water after a cycle is often a different problem than poor cleaning of the dishes and flatware inside. A problem not tied to either of these symptoms may be more complex. Here are simple approaches for addressing those two common issues. Be sure to switch off the dishwasher before working on it and remember to turn it back on afterward.
Dishwashers circulate water throughout the cleaning cycle, and clogs eventually occur. To clear potential blockages, remove the racks and then the spinner arms. Then, use a small metal skewer or rod to clean the holes on the arms. Always use a piece of metal for this purpose, as plastic or wood can break off and create another clog.
Water remaining at the bottom of the dishwasher is unsanitary and can eventually lead to leaks, spills and damage. Clean the drain basket, located at the bottom of the appliance, by first attempting to poke through the mesh to dislodge a visible clog. Removing the drain basket and cleaning it is the next step. Clearing the area around the float, the vaguely bell or button shaped piece at the bottom of the dishwasher, is another tactic.
While these easy fixes take care of some common problems, not every type of dishwasher repair is so easy or the same. Be sure to consult your owner's manual before tackling any issue and reach out to your local Durham Roto-Rooter for help fixing these more involved issues.

January 16, 2019 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
8th March 2016
Seven in ten Brits feel automated services are gradually erasing face-to-face support, leaving many wanting to return to "days gone by" when it comes to personal service.
According to research from wealth manager Charles Stanley, more than half of bank customers would want access to staff at their local bank branch to talk about their finances in person.
Books, groceries and toiletries are the key items where Brits are confident shopping un-aided and prefer to make their own selections without the interference of a shop assistant. However, when it comes to making costly decisions, such as buying a house and arranging their personal finances, British consumers want all the help they can get. The average home buyer will consult with two experts for advice, most notably an estate agent or mortgage broker and will run their decision past at least three friends or family members before committing.
The study revealed that how much a service costs also comes into play when consumers decide whether advice is needed.
For instance, when it comes to small purchases of less than £10 in value, the majority of people would be happy to just buy it without any interference from a shop assistant. However, it seems the most people will spend without needing guidance is £474 and after this, guidance is welcomed. "There is no doubt that the growth of online and automated services has helped reduce costs and speed up processes for time-pressed individuals," says Christopher Aldous, Head of Distribution, Charles Stanley.
"However, there is no substitute for a personal service that is tailored to the individual and this is increasingly important when making decisions involving large amounts of money, such as a home or a pension"
However, it's not all doom and gloom for automated technology. Online banking was voted as the best automated innovation in modern life by two thirds of consumers.

Setting up your own camera security system has really never been easier! You could easily spend thousands on a security camera system for your home or office, and it wouldn't offer all of the easy-to-use features that the Logitech Alert 750i Master System does. Motion-triggered recording, automatic email alerts, audio recording, easy expandability, PC-free recording, and camera viewing over the web, mobile phone, iPad, and Google TV are just a few of the awesome features of Logitech Alert. The best part is, there's no special wiring required, everything works through your powerline / plug outlets!
What's in the Box
* Logitech Alert indoor camera
* HomePlug Indoor Camera Power Supply
* HomePlug Network Adapter
* 10-ft (3-meter) Ethernet cable
* 20-ft (6-meter) Ethernet cable
* Software CD
* Window, desktop, and wall mounts with installation hardware
* 2 GB microSD card (expandable up to 32 GB)
* Quick Start Guide and Manual
[nggallery id=468]
Features and Performance
1. Easy Installation:
Logitech has gotten the installation down to a three-step process: 1) Install the software, it's Windows-only, 2) Plug the HomePlug network adapter into the wall and run the ethernet cable to the router, and finally 3) plug the HomePlug camera power supply into the wall, mount the camera, and run an ethernet cable between both devices.
How easy was it really? Pretty much that easy. Even the tech-challenged users should get the system up and running in under an hour. Unboxing the 750i can be a little intimidating with all the pieces, but the quick start guide makes the process quick and stress-free. Logitech gives you more than a few ways to mount your camera; there's a desktop stand, wall mount, and suction cup. I suction-cupped the camera to a mirror that faces the front door. It's not a permanent location; but it's a great spot to watch for intruders while keeping an eye on the pup. The HomePlug needs to be plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector or power strip. As long as the HomePlugs are in outlets that are part of the same electricity circuit, the set up should go without a hitch. The camera has an LED which will indicate the status of the camera by using different colors, this is very helpful in troubleshooting.
2. HD Quality Video with a Wide-Angle Lens
The Logitech Alert camera has a Wide-Angle Lens that gives you a field of view of 130°. The camera captures video at a resolution of 960 x 720 @ 15fps. I would describe the video as high quality rather than high definition. Video looks amazing with slow movement. People and objects that scurry across the camera will blur. The Logitech Alert software allows you to set a field of vision inside of the wide angle shot. Within the wide angle shot, you can pan and tilt, though the camera does not move. You can choose to set the field of vision to the full wide angle shot.
3. Motion-triggered Alerts Sent to your Email
When the Logitech Alert Camera detects any motion it will immediately start recording the video. Using the Alert software, you can also have an alert emailed to you with a still image from the camera. If you do not want the motion detection to apply to the full field of vision, you can designate up to 16 zones. This was helpful in my scenario where cars driving by the house would trigger motion, so I drew zones everywhere but the front door windows. You can set the motion sensitivity and also how long continuous motion must be present to trigger recording.
4. Remote Browser or Mobile Viewing
You can check in on your camera feed(s) from any computer connected to the internet using a web browser with flash. You can even download the Logitech Alert app for iPhone/iPod Touch, Android, or Blackberry and watch the live feed directly from your smart phone. The quality is surprisingly good and the delay is only about 5 seconds or less. You cannot replay recordings, pan/tilt/zoom, or tweak settings like you can on the Logitech Alert Software; well, at least you can't without paying. The Web and Mobile commander is an additional $79.99. There is a 7 day trial. Once this add-on enabled, you'll get virtually all the features and controls that you do with the software.
5. PC-Free Recording with Built-In Flash
Many people may fail to recognize this while considering this system, but it's one of the 750i's greatest features. Once the software is installed, and the camera is set up, you don't need a computer for Logitech Alert to function. Even if you decide to move the camera to the other side of the house, the system will update accordingly sans computer. The camera will record all motion on the built-in microSD flash card; Logitech estimates the 2gb card will take about a week to fill up. When the PC is turned on, or reconnected to the network, the video recordings will be backed up on the PC too. You can set the amount of computer storage you want the Logitech Alert to use.
6. Easy Expandability
The 750i Master System comes with just the one indoor camera. At any point in time, you can add up to five more indoor or outdoor cameras to the system. You can access all of the cameras from your phone or the web. Each camera has its own settings to configure, like whether you want to enable the microphone, status LED, motion LED, or motion zones.
[nggallery id=467]
Final Thoughts and Conclusion
If you have never used security software before, you will feel like the software is straight out of the movies. It's a great user interface, and would look even cooler with a few more cameras to monitor. The software is extremely easy to use and it takes all the hard work out of setting up a security camera system. There's a timeline that makes navigating your old recordings oh so simple. The indoor camera records captures high quality video that looks great day and night. The only caveat is that people moving quickly past the camera will come out blurry, and you would not be able to make out the faces. The camera is sized and shaped like a slightly larger computer mouse that has a large lens growing out of the bottom. It is not a hidden camera, though you could get creative if necessary. It records audio too, which is a nice feature to have on a security system. Read up on your state's laws to make sure you're in the clear with video and/or audio recording.
Taking the computer out of the security system equation is brilliant. The Logitech Alert system is self-sufficient in that all it needs to run properly is a router with internet. There's no complicated set up involving IP addresses or port forwarding, you don't need to setup the system again if you move the camera–the product takes care of all of that for you. Ethernet through power outlets is another brilliant move by Logitech. Logitech does not make any wireless cameras that work on batteries, so you would have to plug the camera into a power outlet anyway. Being able to check in on the dog (and front door) in a matter of seconds using my iPhone has been a true delight. It is surprising how clear the video comes out over 3G.
The Logitech Alert 750i Indoor Master Security System costs $299.99, additional indoor cameras cost $229.99, and outdoor cameras (with night vision) cost $279.99. These prices may sound high, but not when you compare them to other comparable security systems. The real kicker is that Logitech charges $80 for the Web and Mobile Commander add-on that enables features, controls, and video playback over the web. This should have been thrown in. All in all, the Indoor Master Security System could be a great addition to any household; it's a small price to pay for the safety of your home and possessions. If you are looking for a more intensive system to safeguard your place of business, like a jewelery store, you should probably look into a more professional system.
The Good: Super Easy Setup, Automated Email Alerts with Image, Configurable Motion Detection Zones, No PC Required (after setup), Remote viewing from internet browser or smartphone, works over power lines
The Bad: Windows Only, Web and Mobile Commander costs extra, blurry images with quick movement

President Obama has proposed building high speed train system in the USA. This really is a great idea. Not only will it create jobs designing and building the system, but will create long term jobs for the operation of the network. The tangential jobs will spring up around the train stations.
60 years ago no one would have understood the modern highway system which we now consider normal. 60 years from now I don't think anyone would understand an America without a train network. Too bad most of us wont be around to appreciate the long term plan.... but our children will thank us.

The battery and the chargers arrived today with good packaging all around.
Here's what I ordered:
48V 10AH LiMnCO2 battery
2AH Veribest Charger
4AH Veribest Charger
My plan is to leave a 2AH charger at work, and a 4AH charger at home. This way, if I need a quick charge to venture around town, the 4AH will get the battery topped up quickly. When I'm at work, I can take the whole day to charge up. Also, if I need to bike to places around work, I can pick up the 2AH and haul it along for the ride. The 2AH charger is small and portable.

I don't really post on current affairs and political news. But this time I am making an exception.
Few days back I saw somebody posted on Facebook that people are so bothered with Gaza that they forgot about "Kargil Day". I couldn't agree with it. As far as I can remember I was in 8th standard when Kargil war happened. It was terrible and even though any social networking sites weren't there we were all updated through the news channels and news papers.
However, we can let it rest in peace and in the past now.
On other hand, any war is the excuse of mass murder. Be it in Israel, Palestine, India, and Afghanistan or in any country.
Water, border, rights of the refugees- it seems Israel and Palestine have decided to not to agree on peace at all.
The only power plant was hit yesterday by shelling.
The pictures are all over the internet.
They are scary…
They make me believe that humanity is truly lost...
By the name of self defense what is happening there can be named as Mass Murder. I am sorry if I can find out any other term right now.

Background. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of DM and resting HR on CAN in a large sample derived from a Chinese population. Materials and Methods. We conducted a large-scale, population-based, cross-sectional study to explore the relationships of CAN with DM and resting HR. A total of 387 subjects were diagnosed with CAN in our dataset. The associations of CAN with DM and resting HR were assessed by a multivariate logistic regression MLR analysis using subjects without CAN as a reference group after controlling for potential confounding factors. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve AUC was used to evaluate the predictive performance of resting HR and DM. Results. A tendency toward increased CAN prevalence with increasing resting HR was reported P for trend . MLR analysis showed that DM and resting HR were very significantly and independently associated with CAN for both. Resting HR alone or combined with DM DM-HR both strongly predicted CAN AUC = 0.719, 95% CI 0.690–0.748 for resting HR and AUC = 0.738, 95% CI 0.710–0.766 for DM-HR. Conclusion. Our findings signify that resting HR and DM-HR have a high value in predicting CAN in the general population.

I have to warn you, folks: Today I have no insights into the writing process, only interwar period finds and musings on the possible mentalities of some of the earliest airplane pilots in history.
So I was doing some random browsing on the internet the other day…
…as is my idle habit at times, and came across these photographs of a French leather flight helmet from the interwar period (1918-1939). I think they're simply beautiful:
Idk, there's just something about leather, folks.
…Whaaa? What is this? Why are we talking about leather?
People, I love leather. Let me tell you: I've got three pairs of leather boots, a sweet leather jacket, leather belts, several leather purses and handbags…and yes, even leather gloves to top off the collection.
Do I wear them all at once? Of course not. That would be silly.
(I don't wear them often, though. The boots, I mean. I get the "are you a model?" question when I do, and sometimes with my jacket, as well. And since I don't model, it's kind of annoying because people don't believe me! lol)
The Psychology of Leather
What is it about leather that makes certain folks go batty for it?
They say it's a symbol of masculinity and power. So what, does that make women who wear it power-hungry?
Maybe it's just that being wrapped up tight in leather can make you feel all warm and comfortable and safe–invincible, even.
Maybe it's a little of all these things, and something more.
For some, like me, you could say it's almost a kind of fetish–not in the weird, kinky way that I'm sure Western society has ingrained into many minds. (Okay, this is getting weird…) Just a particularly strong liking for it. Perhaps even in the mystical way that it is imbued with superpowers. (Why else would a leather suit be associate with superhero status?) And wouldn't you know, it's just one other thing that's leaked over to my heroine and will pop up in my writing every now and then.
I can't help it. Leather–real, organic animal hide–is a beautiful material. Plus, it just feels good.
It's a quality thing. Maybe it's even a little bit primal. It's stylish, classic…and even when worn down by time, it remains timeless.
Maybe you understand; maybe you don't. (Though, I'm not-so-secretly hoping you do!)
I betchya Amelia Earhart understood it very well, as she was sometimes clad in it:
I could only imagine how good it must feel for a pilot to pull a nice snug, leather flying cap onto his/her head. *sighs* It makes me wonder how Amelia felt in her flying gear.
The Psychology of Individual Articles
Here's what I think: Hats, leather or otherwise, can make you feel safe; so can a leather jacket. The jacket can also give you a sense of assuredness, that things will turn out all right. Gloves (I'm guessing Amelia wore some while flying) are kind of an official statement; they say, "I'm ready to take on this mission put before me."
And the boots…well, those just finish it all off, don't they? A good tug on those laces and you're set to go. If anything is a sign of power, a message that "I can do anything," it's a good pair of knee-high leather boots. (Thigh-high? Well, there's a difference between "check me out" and "pick me up." The difference is but inches.)
Of course, there's a practical side to all that gear: It protected pilots who flew in open cockpits from brisk winds. Even so, leather on its own is simply amazing.
Enough about leather! What about flying?
Well, what about it? Closest I've been to planes are airliners, and I obviously didn't get to play pilot. And I won't be hopping into the cockpit of a biplane any time soon. In the meantime, I will be checking out this nifty little flight simulator (probably after I graduate and have some more time to get lost in it). See how that goes.
This game has been around for a while now, but that won't keep me from trying it. Here's the blurb about it off Microsoft's website:
The year is 1937. The United States has shattered under the combined weight of the Great Depression, regional Prohibition and mounting isolationism. The transcontinental railroad and the budding highway system have become useless as they now cross hostile borders. Commerce and trade leave the ground as air travel now becomes a vital lifeline connecting allied countries — and a national obsession — while daring air pirates and valiant air militias battle for control of the skies. Giant zeppelins crisscross the skies, carrying both passengers and cargo. It is a time of gunship diplomacy and airship piracy. It is the age of the fighter pilot and a time of daredevil adventure and sinister intrigue. It is the world of Crimson Skies…
I mean, why wouldn't you want to play something like that?
The game's plane models are more advanced than I was looking for, but oh well. Still looks like fun. Too bad this isn't on the Xbox 360, as that's how I like to roll…
Oh, snap–they've got it on the regular ol' Xbox! It's a date.
Okay, so before I go…there's actually one other little reason why I think leather is amazing:
Bottom line: There is nothing like a man in a suit.
Note to self: one day I've got to base a character off that man…
(Okay, you know how they say not to judge a book by its cover? Well, I confess: I am 100% guilty of doing this. The first time I encountered "Wild Bill" was in Mavericks of the Sky: The First Daring Pilots of the U.S. Air Mail, and I probably picked up the book because he was smack-dab on the cover–entirely pwning the cover, to be sure. But really, I promise: It was a wonderful book! Lots of insights into the dangers that pioneer pilots faced when scouting out the first airmail routes. Those folks were crazy-brave.)
So, I guess the real question is: Does anyone else have an insatiable craving for leather, or am I just weird?
Or maybe it isn't leather for you. Maybe it's fluffy pink things. Or white tennis shoes you can't stand to get dirty. Or…maybe you're just normal. That's cool, too.
I guess. 😛

I had lunch with a writer friend, Carrie Lowen, yesterday. She writes a wonderful blog at http://apps.carrielowen.com/blog/. And we were talking in part about Courage to change yourself and your world.
I find it amazing that so many people are afraid of so many things, so afraid in fact, that they will stay in a bad situation because the "devil you know is better than the devil you don't". But if you don't push yourself out of your fear, you will have a miserable life. Not in all cases, but in some cases.
Like Carrie, I have a habit of fearing something which will lead me to go out of my way to do exactly that thing that brings me face to face with my fears. Crazy, huh? Not really. There is only so much procrastination I can stand before the urge to just jump off the metaphorical cliff becomes too much to ignore and I really can't stand all the messing around a minute longer.
Facing your fears makes you less afraid and more confident in yourself. I have two examples.
Like a lot of people, I had a fear of public speaking. My throat would dry out, I'd be shaking and be a total basket case just thinking about it. A few years ago, I had the job of training people on software and as luck would have it, I somehow got nominated to do this because nobody else would do it. The other people literally got notes from their doctors' so they wouldn't have to do it. The first time I tried to conduct one of these training sessions, I started coughing because my throat was so dry and tears ran down my face from the incessant coughing. Someone had to take over for me. Instead of thinking "Oh my God, that was the worst, most embarrassing thing ever and I am never going to do that again", my thought was, "Okay, so that was the worst thing that could have happened, so it's got to get better from here." And you know what? It did get better, the more often I did it. I got to a point, in fact, that I would be excited about performing the training sessions. After all, I was getting a bunch of people to do as I instructed and being a writer, I do like my control!
The other scary thing I did was travel by myself around the world. At first I was in New Zealand and Australia (where I spent over a year - it was great!), then while hitch-hiking with a British woman who had just gone through Asia, she encouraged me to go. I thought, well, I've come this far, why not? So I got all my finances in order (I worked in Australia) and began my travels in Asia with Singapore. The situation didn't become real until the plane was landing in Singapore at 8pm. It was dark. I didn't know anyone. The instructions I had were "take a bus to this street (I think the street name was Bencoolen Street) and someone will find you and give you a place to stay". I was freaking out. Was I insane? Had I gone totally off my rocker?? But the flight was landing and I couldn't go back to Australia because my visa was already four days overdue. So, I followed the instructions, took the bus and, once there standing on the street, someone found me and gave me a place to stay for one American dollar a night. Afterwards, I figured that if I could do that, then I could do anything.
Sometimes courage is just a leap of faith that somehow, someway, everything will turn out. I don't take outrageously foolish risks, but I do take calculated risks in both my professional and personal life.
Being a writer is a calculated risk. My first book should be published soon and I am doing my best to make sure it's a success. My only job right now is writing. Is that foolish? To some people, maybe. If you have children and financial obligations that don't allow you to initially do what you want to do for a living, then you have to start smaller. My first book was written in the evenings when I had finished my money-making day job. The second book is a full-time job. I get to set my hours, I get to study my craft on my own time, I get to do what I want when I want to do it.
Freedom is good but it comes at a price. Just like courage is good but it, too, exacts a price while also extending a branch of hope, of optimism for the future.
Courage takes you on a whirlwind tour and, if you can find it in yourself to hang on, it's a great ride. You discover more about yourself and your capabilities than you dreamed possible. Most people try to ignore the fact that you can change the entire course of your life in one second. One second is all it takes to make a decision. It takes many more seconds to actually see fruition, if you see it at all. Even if you fail, you still have expanded the boundaries of your life and psyche. So it's not really a failure at all, but a journey of self-discovery.
I have a saying, "If you don't make at least five mistakes a day, you're not trying hard enough." Success doesn't teach you fortitude. Failure teaches you in unimaginable ways. The saying, "If at first you don't succeed, then try, try again," is so simple but so profound. A failure is not a bad thing unless you learn nothing from it and it scares you away from what you want.
So please, try, try again.

I am a relatively friendly person. My social network has gotten so big lately and I absolutely love all my new friends, but for me, few friendships can beat ones that were built during high school. They are the people who have known you since your wonder years, before you discovered glamour and relationships, before social networking sites and anything that can jade you. They know your roots and grew up with you, therefore accepting whatever you've become, and would tell you if they like it or not. When things screw up, they're the ones who'll be laughing at it with you in the end.
When high school ended, it took with it the regular lunch breaks and dismissal times, hence our regular bonding sessions came to a halt. My high school friends and I (i.e. The Benchwarmers or Benchers named after the benches outside our alma mater where we used to hang out) found new lives after college, yes, but we still kept a one hand hanging on to our little group, trying to get together at least a few times every year.
Seven years later we still were the tight knit group we were in college, albeit with more experiences and juicier stories to share. A few of us now work abroad, several others work with tricky schedules (call centers and hospital shifts) which made planning a get-together even more difficult.
This year, we planned on going on a Tagaytay getaway on December. Hoo boy, that planning stage was a mess. Schedules just wouldn't meet, money ran short and several other mishaps happened, telling us that cancelling our plans would probably be the best option.
We refused to give up however, and come December 2009, we were on a rickety, rental FX and on our merry way to Tagaytay. We had planned on camwhoring at Sonya's Garden, horseback riding in Taal and possibly, going to Zipline.
Enter Murphy and his law.
Murphy's Law dictates that "Anything that can go wrong, will." It has been proven time and again, that this extremely pessimistic law is true. While we were able to do two out of three on our itinerary, we should've known from the beginning that that trip was not going to be a smooth one.
Our balikbayan friend, who was the primary reason why we tried so hard to organize this get together, got sick on the road trip going to Tagaytay. We underestimated the cost of the trip, so what was supposed to be a horseback adventure up the Taal Crater turned into what I now lovingly call The Shitty Hike (aptly named because of the multitudes of horse dung that littered the trail).
Another friend of ours fell in the lake on the boat ride back from Taal to Tagaytay, and our car broke down in the middle of the long, dark, zigzagging road. By the time we got back to the rest house, we were all tired, cranky, and just a little bit spooked. (You know how easy it is to believe the paranormal when you're out of the city.)
I was pretty sure by then that everyone was already regretting that they spent so much time and effort, not to mention MONEY, on this messed up trip.
Surprise , surprise. It took only some instant noodles (the only things we were able to grab from the grocery before it closed; we got there too late),a couple of bottles of Gilbey's Premium and a bath for us to get back into a festive mood. Before long, we were already laughing again, reminiscing our favorite high school moments.
Only the awesomest friends would go through all of that and still love you after.
Until next year, Benchers!

Last week, I began to explain what America might look like after a government collapse. I ended on a note about the Federal Reserve, and I promised I'd come back to it.
Well, here we are. And I'm going to begin with a radical statement:
Advertisement - story continues below
The purpose of the Federal Reserve is to benefit its shareholders… not America.
This statement is confusing to most people because they assume the Federal Reserve is an agency of the government. It's not.
TRENDING: Netflix Announces Largest Price Increase in Company History
In fact, it's a private entity. Only the shareholders aren't private investors. They're the major "too-big-to-fail" banks of America.
The next thing you must understand is that the Fed was given (by Congress) the most lucrative monopoly on earth… total control over the creation of money. So it can print money, legally. What a business!
Advertisement - story continues below
Now, don't get me wrong – there is some regulation. What Congress gives, it can also take away.
The problem is that when you can literally create money, you have lots of cash to influence the system.
Indeed, when it comes to the economy, the Fed is even more powerful than the president. Only Congress and the president, working in unison, can check the power of the Federal Reserve.
And considering that such cooperation isn't exactly the norm in D.C., the Fed is using its insane amount of power to rob you blind.
Here's how…
Advertisement - story continues below
Too Big to Fail
Simply put, the supply of money should only grow at about the same rate as the economy. It creates a solid equilibrium between goods in the economy and the money supply.
But when the supply of money grows too quickly, it shatters equilibrium and leads to inflation (i.e. – too many dollars chasing too few goods).
And right now, we have too many dollars.
Advertisement - story continues below
Of course, we can thank the economic crisis in 2008 for that. As you know, when the banking crisis erupted, the Fed was fearful that its shareholders were going belly up. So the former CEO of Goldman Sachs (GS), Hank Paulson, arranged for billions of dollars to be transferred from the government to these private banks through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
Keep in mind, I believe allowing banks to go bankrupt would've been the best solution for America. We have over 200 years of bankruptcy court precedent, and the courts should've overseen the liquidation of these mismanaged banks. It ultimately would have punished the guilty parties.
But that didn't happen. Instead, the Federal Reserve kicked into action. It created over $1 trillion that was lent to these same banks to keep them from collapsing.
Now, with so much money floating around, bank deposit owners are worried that the supply of dollars will outstrip demand. This could drive the price of the dollar down. In fact, I believe we could even see a flash crash of the dollar.
Advertisement - story continues below
And that's precisely how the Fed is stealing from you. It's knowingly devaluing the dollar, so your money can buy fewer goods.
And no one is safe.
Say you're happily employed – perhaps you even got a raise recently. Unfortunately, inflation can devalue your dollars so fast that you end up with less buying power than you began with.
As long as the Fed continues on its current path, we'll continue holding a currency that's worth less and less every day.
Advertisement - story continues below
How Can We Protect Ourselves?
We'll all likely get poorer unless we have taken serious steps to hedge ourselves.
Buying gold, stocks, real estate, and other hard assets is the best hedge. When the dollar crash comes, these assets will likely bounce back from the inflation, even if their prices decline at first.
Bonds, CD's, and cash are the assets I encourage everyone to avoid. They'll be crushed by inflation.
Advertisement - story continues below
Once again, this is just a small part in the ongoing quest to see what America will look like after a government collapse.
Along the way, I want to explain what's happening behind the scenes in Washington and give you as much actionable advice as possible.

Ten Students Vie for $100,000 in Scholarships and Prizes
Cleveland, Ohio, March 17, 2011 – This year more than 1,700 students from 139 schools shared their solutions to stop hatred and discrimination by entering the third annual Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage Stop the Hate: Youth Speak Out essay contest. 10 of those students have risen to the top and will compete for $100,000 in scholarship prizes at an Ohio college or university. Their essays address a variety of issues, from race and religion to gay and gender rights to ethnic discrimination, and offer heartfelt and innovative solutions.
Essays have been read and scored by more than 200 community volunteers. "We are very proud of these young people and encourage their efforts to be catalysts for change in their schools and communities. They have stepped up to the Maltz Museum's mission to build bridges of understanding between persons of all religions, races, cultures and ethnic backgrounds." said Lynda A. Bender, Director of Education and Public Programs. Nearly 5,000 entries have been received in the contest's first three years, an astonishing number that evidences the depth of concern among the youth of our region.
These 10 student finalists were narrowed down from 26 semi-finalists after a panel of select judges read their essays. Judges this year include Civil Rights Attorney and CNN Legal Analyst Avery Friedman, The Plain Dealer Editor Debra Adams Simmons and Grand Prize "Stop the Hate" Scholarship Winner 2010 Andrea Bestor among others.
These finalists will compete for three college scholarships by giving oral presentations at the awards ceremony on April 10 at Severance Hall.

In addition to solo recitals - with Bach's 'Goldberg Variations' a speciality, given in London, Paris, Cologne, Basel, Mallorca and Chicago - she frequently performs in duos with partners including Nancy Argenta soprano, Michael Chance counter tenor, Philippa Davies flute, Catherine Mackintosh violin and Steven Isserlis cello. She is also particularly devoted to the Classical chamber music repertoire and explores this with her recently formed "Trio Goya" with Kati Debretzeni violin and Sebastian Comberti cello.

CD Reviews
Former punk rocker plays progressive rock shocker....
(5 out of 5 stars)
"There are echoes here of Pink Floyd and Captain Beefheart and maybe a premonition of Joy Division and all being played by a bunch of punk rockers! This was Howard Devoto's first LP after surprising everyone by leaving the Buzzcocks just as they were poised on the brink of great things. In retrospect, the Buzzcocks would never have been as sucessful as they were with Howard's more grating voice and if this was the music he wanted to make there would have been no easy compromise. There is certainly no sign of the Buzzcocks' frenetic guitarwork or fey lovesongs. Instead we have Devoto's distinctive rasp and a band that includes future members of Siouxsie's Banshees, Nick Cave's Bad Seeds and er... Swing Out Sister (!). The highlight is the magnificent "The Light Pours Out Of Me" - the album is essential for this track alone. Maybe not as commercial as The Correct Use of Soap but it's a hard call which is the better place to start listening to Magazine; which you must!"
Timeless existentialist-punk
Peter Williams | Pasadena, CA United States | 02/03/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Had to laugh when I saw a previous reviewer's mention of Wax Trax (in Denver), as this is where I was turned on to Magazine. They were indeed playing Magazine when I was in the store, and I was so impressed I picked up "Play.", their live album. After that, I picked up everything Magazine I could get my hands on.
While this is not my favorite Magazine album -- I fall into the "Secondhand Daylight" camp -- this is still a very powerful document, and fairly bristles with a sophisticated punk energy. And it's unique enough that it can't be simply pegged with a convenient genre-tag, and still doesn't sound dated (unless one dates things by the presence of synthesizers, as some no doubt do).
While the music is driving and always interesting, the real strength is in the lyrics and in Devoto's intense and affected delivery; he declaims like a Bowery street preacher drunk on bathtub gin and Nietzsche.
If you're looking for something entirely "new" and exciting in music, look no further. For the first time Magazine listener, I'd recommend either this, "Correct Use of Soap" or "Play" (one of the great live recordings of all time, imho).
And to the good people of Wax Trax: thanks! (are they still there, I wonder?)"
Underrated Genius
Peter Williams | 07/21/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"It's difficult to tell that Real Life is over 20 years as Devoto and co. were years ahead of their time. This debut album from Magazine showed incredible maturity and is filled with top music. Highlights include Definitive Gaze,Shot By Both Sides and The Light Pours Out Of Me. Real Life is a must buy for any lover of good music"

Here's a post from earlier this year that got people thinking about their yogurt. (Click here to read about a much healthier and better tasting yogurt that I recently discovered.)
While it's easy to rail against obvious junk food, I have more of a problem with seemingly healthy foodstuffs that are really masqueraded synthetic concoctions.
A prime example is Dannon's Light & Fit blueberry yogurt. "0% FAT, 80 CALORIES" the label screams at us, roping us into purchasing a product that is a far cry from just yogurt and blueberries.
How many of us have bought this without reading its ingredients? Here's our chance:
Nonfat yogurt (cultured grade A non fat milk, modified food starch, fructose, kosher gelatin, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D3), water, blueberry puree, fructose, contains less than 1% of modified corn starch, natural flavor, blue 1, red 40, aspartame, potassium sorbate (to maintain freshness), acesfulfame potassium, sucralose, malic acid, sodium citrate.FYI, aspartame and sucralose are artificial, non-caloric sweeteners that you couldn't pay me to ingest. We've discussed the dangers of petroleum-based artificial colorants (i.e. blue 1, red 40) many times.
(Click here to watch a short video showing how to make your own blueberry yogurt without the synthetic ingredients.)

Join us for our 'Sit and Knit' meeting on Sunday 1 March 2009 between 2 and 5 p.m. All our meetings this year will have a dedicated Crochet Corner. Shirley will be on hand to answer your questions and assist with crocheting troubles.
Stitch of the Month
As there was a reasonable response to our Colour of the Month last year, a stitch of the month will begin in March. So for March at the Sunday Sit and Knit please bring in a 6 inch (15 cm for the metrics amongst us) square of any variation on moss stitch. So cast on x amount of stitches in 8 ply wool that gives a measurement of 6 inches and proceed in moss stitch for 6 inches. A border is not necessary and at the end of the year when we have heaps of squares in various stitches and patterns, they can be sewn into blankets to be passed on.
Design your own Jumper
To kick start the workshops for 2009 will be Jenny Pakula who has written articles for "Yarn" magazine, who will be tutoring 'design your own jumper'. Date is March 21; time 10 am to 4 pm with a break for lunch and tea/coffee provided. More information will be available at the March Sit and Knit. Cost is $40 for members and $50 for non members. Please ring Valerie on 9878 3758 if you are interested.
Wool and Craft Market
Yes we need to prepare ourselves for the Wool and Craft Fair in the Brunswick Town Hall on May 30. If members could spare 20 minutes or so to help out with the selling of raffle tickets and person the Handknitters Guild stall, it means that everyone spends a short amount of time at these places instead of a few doing long hours. If any member would like to sell off their stash at the Wool and Craft Fair please let Valerie know for space purposes, and it is only wool/yarn that can be offered for sale. We hope to let you know what stall holders will be at Brunswick to let your family and friends know what to expect and what to save the dollars for.
Knit in Public Day
June 13, a Saturday, is the world wide event of knitting in public. That means knitting or crocheting on public transport, at Federation Square, the foyer at the Art Gallery or at your local shopping centre or anywhere outside your home. The committee thought we could have small groups of avid knitters or crocheters spending a few hours at various points around Melbourne and its suburbs. Keep an eye on the newsletters for further information as we draw closer to the date.
Please return all borrowed books to the library in March as there is going to be a stocktake. Some new titles for you, including some that have been uncovered during the clean up of the library. Hip Graphic Knits; The Better Sweater 2; The Mixed Barnyard; Celtic Crochet; Textiles; Vogue Fashion Knitting; 100 Knitting Projects; Compendium from Patons Baldwins books; You Can Knit Better; Rowan magazine 44; Simple Knits for Sohpisticated Living; Garter Shawls for Yarn Lovers; Knit 1 Embellish 2; Rowan summer and Winter; and some Noro books.

I think this may be the solution you are looking for:
Feel free to ask for help if you run into any problems while implementing the aforementioned solution
- kimotomainaAnswered on April 24, 2014 at 09:14 AM
Hi Michtaitz.
This is possible with jotform but you have to use page breaks and sission Ids.
Your user must be uniquely identifed.Follow these steps.
1. Create a form to get name and e-mail. On the title, explain the user why this is necessary. This will be referred as the first form from now on.1. Create a form to get name and e-mail. On the title, explain the user why this is necessary. This will be referred as the first form from now on.2. Create another form that they will be redirected to. This will be referred as the main form from now on.3. When main form is finished click Preview and then click Open in new tab button.4. On the new tab copy the Form URL.5. Close the tab and go to My Forms menu and click Edit on the first form you created.6. On your first form go to Email Alerts and click Add new email button.7. Select the Autoresponder Email and click Next8. Enter your name and e-mail. Recipient E-mail field should be related with the E-mail form on your form. So it should be E-mail by default. If it is not selected please select E-mail. Click Next.9. Erase all the data in the text area and write something meaningful for the user. Because this will be sent to his/her email.10. Copy the Form URL that you have from your main form and at the end of the URL add a question mark , after the question mark write session, next to it add the equals sign and click E-mail on the form fields. So far your url should look like this:11. Click Finish and save the form.12. At the first form go to Setup & Embed tab and click Thank You, select Thank you message and enter the same url you created on the autoresponder messagI hope this solves your problem.
- michtaitzAnswered on April 24, 2014 at 10:21 AMHi
Thanks for the feedback, I assume this needs to be done when the forms are
setup and cannot be done once completed (user have already started using
the forms).
kind regards
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on April 24, 2014 at 11:34 AM
You can setup that to your form anytime you want so your new users will be able to utilize the save feature. Existing users will be able to use the form as usual but without the autosave feature unless they'll add session parameter on the form URL when they fill the form http://www.jotform.com/help/97-How-to-Save-Forms-to-Continue-Later
Another possible solution is to enable Autofill feature which doesn't require page break or session parameter. Check this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/227-How-to-Enable-Auto-Fill-Feature-Save-Form-Entries-to-Continue-Later
Hope this helps!

I find it interesting that the Magnolia is the state flower of Louisiana. I had no idea, when I took this photo outside of our hotel. The pistil looks quite comfortable nestled in between the towering white petals. The state flower of Florida is the Orange Blossom and I must say that it is good to be home. We traveled for almost twelve hours yesterday without an overnight to sleep in our own beds. Home sweet home, it is so good to be back! Have a wonderful Day!

welcome to the new fundraising era powered by blockchain technology
Automated ICO launching platform.
Automatic Coin Platform Token coming soon.
Automatic Coin Platform Token coming soon.
The purpose of a tranched ICO is to provide transparency towards our early users and a more uniform risk-adjusted offering as we hit our development milestones.
Nov 25 2017
Dec 2017
Jan 2018
In order to incentivize the use and growth of the icoico ecosystem and to fund the next stages of development, we are running our own token issuance as a tranched ICO by issuing ACP (Automated Coin Platform) tokens in three stages. ACP tokens will allow holders to participate in ICOs launched within our ecosystem at a 3% discount and will be able to run their ICOs at a lower cost (3% discount on our 5% fee).
The purpose of a tranched ICO is to provide transparency towards our early users and a more uniform risk-adjusted offering as we hit our development milestones. At each stage we will place a number of ACP tokens, with an increasing price at issuance to reflect the decrease in project risk as we achieve our goals.
We will issue 2,000,000 ACP (Automated Coin Platform) tokens. 1,600,000 tokens will be offered in 3 different stages, with the remaining 400,000 to be used as incentives for teams working on the icoico ecosystem:
Our company will be based in Gibraltar, where we're working with the government to become part of their new Distributed Ledger Technology initiative to incentivize and regulate blockchain companies with a sound business model and collaborative approach to regulation.
Our mission: the long-term success of the blockchain token model for funding innovation, science, and open-source initiatives as a sustainable alternative to the current Silicon Valley and non-profit fundraising mechanisms.

Yesterday I was a guest at the wedding off a friend and co-worker and his lovely partner of 19 years. It was a such a fun and funny ceremony and a lovely reception. I however, have not yet gotten around to getting them a gift. They were registered, but as is always the case by the time I got around to checking it everything good was already taken. So I've been thinking (rationalizing) that maybe they might like something off the registry... do they really need a another set of forks? I mean, they've been together for 19 years... they're not exactly putting together their household. Don't you think they'd prefer this absurdly amazing mirror?
Available at moss, it's a handcrafted Day of the Dead mirror... I know it's a bit loud, but it's so awesome.
On a quieter and perhaps more useful note, I also love these hooks
...from The Future Perfect. I love that all the objects depicted are so murder-weapony, and the blood red color is great.
So I know going off the registry is not always the best advice... but sometimes for the right couple a really expressive gift can be perfect.
