I thought I was a Tomboy, but…
2012-02-02 17:10:00 The other day, my friend was telling me about the day she had with her seven-year old daughter. They went shopping, then lunch, got haircuts and ended the day with a mani/pedi. It sounded great to me as I cannot remember when I had a day like that in years. For me, I can barely...

Real Estate Investment Schools of Thought Vary ? As Does Their Mileage
2012-02-02 14:25:00 Many years ago a guy in his early 40s called for an office appointment. He’d invested in his first small income property, and was troubled by the advice his 70 year old dad had offered. In fact, there was tension between them about what investment strategies the younger man should employ. Dad, we’ll call him ...This Article is Copyright © 2004-2011 BiggerPockets, Inc.

A historical thought on significance of Iowa caucuses
2012-01-04 03:50:00 In 1980, George H.W. Bush edged out Ronald Reagan in the Iowa caucuses 32% to 30%. He lost the nomination to Reagan. Eight years later, after serving seven years as Reagan’s Vice President, H.W. finished third with 19% of the vote behind Bob Dole who snagged 37% of the vote and Pat Robertson who snagged ...

A Christmas Thought
2011-12-25 17:28:00 Coming home from Midnight Mass last night, as I gazed up at the stars that shone brightly in the crisp cold atmosphere, I had the thought that there were two ways to interpret this sight. Intellectually, I knew that I was seeing immense orbs of fire burning light-years away, dwarfing our little planet, not to mention the quiet street where I stood. Emotionally, though, I felt that the canopy of stars was a cozy and hopeful sign for us down below, a celestial response to our joy. What a miracle, I thought, that the earth's atmosphere is made in such a way that we can see these faraway lights. How kind of them to stoop to communicate with us!So too with the Christ child. God is infinitely powerful and huge, the creator of those stars and galaxies whose scope we cannot imagine. Yet God also comes down to us, offering us a way in, a point of connection that is on the scale of the human heart and mind. Come, Lord Jesus.

Jasun Tipton: Abnormal Thought Patterns new CD
2011-12-18 01:34:00 Abnormal Thought Patterns http://www.guitar9.com/abnormal-thought.html Abnormal Thought Patterns is a mathematical instrumental trio that fuses heavy riffs, intricate time signatures and shredding solos. Abnormal Thought Patterns is comprised of the core and founding members of heralded technical act Zero Hour, the band was formed by Northern California-based brothers Jasun and Troy Tipton (both also of Cynthesis) and Mike Guy. In order to complete the live sound, the trio recruited longtime friend and talented guitarist Richard Sharman, a student of Jasun's for many years. The four-part epic "Velocity and Acceleration" and bass-only track "Ulnar Nerve Damage" were mixed by talented producer/engineer Dino Alden (Marty Friedman, Zero Hour), but due to Dino's carpal surgeries the band reached out to Matt LaPlant (Sikth, Nonpoint) to mix the tracks "The Machine Within" and "Electric Sun." The EP was mastered by Alan Douches (Between The Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan)...

daN/mm -- it's not what I thought!!!
2011-11-25 20:53:00 {place tongue-in-cheek} What the hell is a "aN" (read "a-Newton")? The reason my thought light-bulb stayed dark was because the value I was presented with was 18.192 daN/mm. Yes! There was something wrong with the value. Why wasn't it presented as 181.92N/mm or 0.18192kN/mm, or even 1.8192x10^2 N/
10 things you might not have thought of to be thankful for
2011-11-23 16:22:00 As we reflect on this time of year, it’s pretty easy to say, “I’m thankful for my family, my job, food, a home, etc.” What I decided to do was dig a little deeper and look at what makes me smile internally on a daily basis.
So, You Thought Standards Were Made by Engineers
2011-11-14 19:00:00 I'm in a couple different discussions today that are calling "standards" into deep question as shifting markets dictate new approaches. Engineers can write a solid specification, and even have it vetted by a "standards organization", but ultimately the life cycle of a standard is determined by facto
Wall Street protesters are all clueless..So I thought
2011-10-21 05:40:00 Unless you’ve been living under a rock (Geico commercial plug), you must by now be aware of the Occupy Wall Street movement.The movement is mainly one of protesting the social and economic inequality brought about by corporate greed and government influence, particularly in respect of the heavyweights in the financial services sector.As we’ve seen, the Occupy Wall Street protest has given rise to similar “OccupyCityX” movements across the world, including our very own Toronto.Notwithstanding some of the examples of unlawful conduct, there has been much criticism over these protests which focus on the participants themselves and the lack of clarity in their focus and demands.It’s wrong and dangerous however, to paint all the protesters with the same broad stroke of criticism.Like the wise Donald Cherry once said, “when you’re wrong, you’ve got to admit it”…

At age 34, without a ring but plenty of money in the bank, Carter's the type of player who will have to decide if he can find one last decent contract (maybe he could get a 2 year MLE deal), or whether to sign for the minimum with a team that gives him a chance to come away with the big prize....
...One More Trade Thought: Could Marmol Be Moved?
2011-06-12 15:55:00 I thought I had covered most of the potential movers in my last post about Cub trade ideas, but one guy in particular got a lot of buzz in the comments, so I thought I'd give him his own post. Since humans usually read article titles before they read the body text, you know who I'm talking about: could the Cubs closer be traded soon?When I made my first pass at identifying potential trade candidates, I dismissed Carlos Marmol for two reasons: one, the Cubs just signed him to a long-term deal, and two, that deal pays him a relatively great deal of money in 2012 and 2013. If the Cubs were even thinking about dealing Marmol, why would they sign...

Tymon Kruidenier: Waves Of Thought
2011-06-01 18:19:00 Tymon Kruidenier: I finally got around to doing a little video of one of the songs of our debut album. Besides the first 2 solos I also play on the studio version of this song, I threw in an additional solo and I replaced Michel's solo at the end. I thought this might make it a little more interesting to watch. The footage is kind of low quality and not perfect in any way, but I do dig the performance so I thought I'd share it anyways!

It's very important that your mate knows and respects those boundaries. Every form of media has been abuzz about the Arnold Schwarzenegger "indiscretion" in the form of a 14-year-old "love child" that was apparently the breaking point that sent Maria Shriver, his wife of 25 years, packing. According to news reports, it was revealed that this love child, a son, was a result of an affair with a member of the household staff. As reported on radaronline.com, the information was revealed only after the mother, who has now been...

Manny Ramirez wasn't what we thought he was
2010-09-26 23:00:00 Unless the first thing you thought when the White Sox picked up Manny off of waivers is "isn't he still injured?" Something hasn't been right with Manny since came over from LA in one of those "Take him, TAKE HIM!" deals. To his credit, Ramirez hasn't raised any stink about how happy or unhappy he is to be on the South Side of Chicago, playing in half-empty stadiums, with no contract security for a team rocketing out of the playoff picture, but he also hasn't needed to. It's all so apparent when he's at the plate.

What strikes me is how infrequently block numbers are posted at all. Every quarter or eighth of a mile on arterial streets is ok when you're driving, because if you miss your turn or turn the wrong way, it doesn't take much effort to double back to where you want to go. But suppose you're on foot or on bike. Suddenly making the wrong turn becomes a larger issue. It's an issue both because of the effort you have to expend to correct it, but also because it will...
