looking for the same in massachusetts.
Did my pinion recall,antifreeze flush.and installed Syn oil which I did not ask for..gave it to me for dino oil price..kudos to them.speedy and efficient service.
Reset that recommendation. They have some new people, and are getting to be a pain to deal with. Seems mere Chevrolet and Pontiac cars are beneath their dignity now.
Simpson Buick/GMC in Buena Park, California. By far, the best dealership for service I have ever dealt with.
Do you know if Jud Kuhn can do the GMPP tune?
So I am resurrecting this thread because I recently was hired by Bob Pion Buick Pontiac GMC on memorial drive in chicopee ma. I am an ase certified technician and after 5 years of owning one, and very familiar with the kappa platform. So my fellow kappa owners, if you are in the western ma area and are in need of a trustworthy dealer, feel free yo check it out!

Wackerli Cadillac GMC and formerly a Pontiac dealer. They are a strong supporter of our cars, and do quality work.
Location: Anywhere my GXP goes! Mostly in Wisconsin. In the SUMMER!
Symdon Chevrolet, Evansville, WI. Flashed my GMPP tune, and flushed cooling system. Knowledgeable on the kappa platform, and a free loaner. I would take the Sol back there. The only drawback... $98.00/hr!
How about something in the northern California area?
Twice in Feb 2017 Cecil Atkission Motors saved my bacon. First it was a intake solenoid valve replaced in the last 2 hours of their business day. The next day it was a tail light. I arrived at 3:45 just before they closed but they took me in and replaced the lamp for no charge. This is no little deal on a coupe since it involves removing a wheel and fender liner and half an hour of overtime. Kudos to Cecil's.


This document indicates the page numbers for the English-language and Japanese-language versions of the writings of Nichiren Daishonin (J. Gosho). Not all the 'Japanese' Gosho are available in English at this time.
The English translations were republished in one volume in 1999 as "The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin" (abbreviated as WND). Prior to this, they had been available in seven separate volumes, entitled "The Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin" (abbreviated as MW). There are many modifications to the translations in the new book; most notably the more extensive and consistent use of English for names and terminology.
Each Gosho title below is linked to the full text of the former Gosho translation.

Krikor H. Zambaccian (n. 6 februarie 1889, Constanța – d. 18 septembrie 1962, București) a fost un colecționar și critic de artă român, de etnie armean. A fost membru corespondent al Academiei Române. A scris monografiile lui Nicolae Grigorescu, Gheorghe Petrașcu, Nicolae Tonitza, precum și volumele de eseuri "Pagini de artă", "Însemnările unui amator de artă", etc.

Sprijinitor al multor artiști de seamă, Zambaccian a adunat o valoroasă și bogată colecție de tablouri, care se regăsește în Muzeul Zambaccian.
Mai mult decât atât, Krikor Zambaccian a inventat conceptul de consignație de artă dupăa cel de-al doilea Război Mondial, deschizând primul magazin de acest tip pe Calea Victoriei, în București, denumit Romarta (Arta Românească).

Biografie
Krikor H. Zambaccian s-a născut în Constanța într-o familie de armeni, Hagop K. Zambaccian și Anita. A avut un frate Onik care a fost tatăl lui Marcel Zambaccian. Tatăl lui Krikor (n. 1860),  era originar din Cezareea Capadociei și era de meserie contabil la o casă de negoț de fire și țesături de import din Occident. Primul contact cu viața antică prin teatru, așa cum declară el însuși, a avut-o la vârsta de unsprezece ani cu ocazia unei reprezentanțe a piesei Ovidiu de Vasile Alecsandri dată de o trupă de artiști din Iași, din care făceau parte și Aglaia Pruteanu și State Dragomir.

Krikor a făcut cursurile secundare la București, în același timp ducând o viață boemă în care frecventa festivitățile de la Ateneu, expoziții de artă și Pinacotecă. Ajunge astfel la vârsta de șaisprezece ani, când era extaziat de Wagner și Beethoven dar nu înțelegea grandoarea lui Michelangelo, Rembrandt sau Velasquez. Prima sa achiziție a fost o cromolithografie numită Beethoven, după Balastrieri, pe care a cumpărat-o cu cinci lei și a agățat-o deasupra patului. A doua achiziție a sa, a fost un ghips executat de către un italian ambulant ce reprezenta masca lui Beethoven și care a costat doi lei. Cele două piese au reprezentat începutul de colecție a lui Krikor.

Primul contact cu arta l-a reprezentat mărcile jubiliare ale Olimpiadei din 1896 care erau 11 reproduceri de statui antice. Cu ocazia expozițiilor de pictură care se organizau la Constanța a achiziționat o marină de Dimitrie Florian pentru cincizeci de lei și două acuarele de Gore Mircescu. Cu ocazia Expoziției Jubiliare care s-a organizat la Palatul Artelor din anul 1906, lui Krikor H.Zambaccian i-a venit ideea de a achiziționa lucrări de Nicolae Grigorescu, Vermont, Verona și Kimon Lughi. Pentru îndeplinirea acestui deziderat, Krikor îi cere tatălui său 500 lei și îi arată cronicile gazetelor de critică și cumpără peisajul numit "Seceriș".

În anul 1907 se înscrie la Institutul superior de comerț din Anvers și mai apoi la cel de la Paris. Aici ia contact cu arta occidentală fiind puternic impresionat de Cézanne și curentul impresionist. Cumpără cărți de artă, ia contact cu mediile artistice, vizitează expoziții și muzee, frecventează saloanele literare și cafenelele unde se întâlneau artiștii. Îi cunoaște în această perioadă pe Matisse, Derain, Bonnard și Dufy. Întorcându-se la București, frecventează mediile artistice ale anilor 1920 - 1950, interval în care colecționează lucrări de artă contemporană ale pictorilor deja consacrați, dar și ale unora debutanți, care după încetarea primului război mondial se încadrau în Societatea Arta Română. În perioada 1914 - 1918 achiziționează lucrări semnate de Ion Theodorescu-Sion și C. Ressu.

Krikor H. Zambaccian achiziționează multe lucrări ale artiștilor tineri: Nicolaae Tonitza, Iosif Iser, Alexandru Ciucurencu, Gheorghe Petrașcu, Theodor Pallady și Ion Andreescu. De la Petrașcu cumpără, începând din 1925, "Autoportret" cu suma de 50.000 lei și o natură moartă pentru 35.000 lei. Krikor considera că arta lui Petrașcu este similară cu cea a lui Francisco Zurbarán și José de Ribera.

În 1927 cumpără "Iarna la Barbizon" a lui Andreescu cu 150.000 lei, o sumă uriașa în acea vreme, echivalentul contravalorii unui apartament. După un timp achiziționează peisaj "Pădurea desfrunzită" de același autor. Colecția sa de tablouri s-a îmbogățit succesiv cu lucrări ca "Intrarea în pădurea de la Fontainebleau" (100,000 lei) și "Portret de femeie bălaie", "Pe malul Siretului" și "Peisaj la Posada" semnate de Nicolae Grigrorescu. Acestora le-au urmat "Peisaj de la Moinești", "Tufănele cu ulcică", "Lăutul", "Trandafiri albi", "Flori pe scări", "Autoportret", "Cap de copil" și "Laura Cocea" semnate de Ștefan Luchian. Theodor Pallady a întregit colecția cu "Pont Neuf" și "Noutățile zilei" precum și altele pe care Zambaccian le cumpăra cu fiecare ocazie de expoziție pe care Pallady o făcea. Nicolae Tonitza îi vinde "Nud", "Katiușa Lipoveanca", "Portretul lui Gala Galaction", "Nud pe fond decorativ", "Nina în interior verde", "Nud de adolescentă șezând", "Copil în roșu".

A fost foarte bun prieten cu I. Theodorescu-Sion, Oscar Han, Theodor Pallady, C. Ressu, Gheorghe Petrașcu și Nicolae Tonitza.

Donația Zambaccian

Krikor H. Zambaccian a fost un adevărat Mecena al timpului său și un foarte valoros critic de artă. El a întrunit în timpul vieții sale una dintre cele mai bogate, valoroase și frumoase colecții de artă din România. Colecția cuprindea o mulțime de lucrări de sculptură, pictură, grafică și mobilier. Toată colecția sa a donat-o statului român pe parcursul a trei etape după cum urmează: prima a cuprins lucrări donate în anul 1947 (205 picturi, 38 sculpturi, 8 piese de mobilier și casa sa din Strada Ing. Al. Davidescu Nr. 21 Bis, din București), a doua în anul 1957 și ultimele exponate au fost dăruite în anul 1962. Pe lângă toate lucrările și obiectele pe care le-a donat, Krikor Zambaccian a cedat statului și drepturile sale de proprietate asupra casei în care a locuit și care a fost folosită și ca spațiu de expunere a colecțiilor sale. Casa a fost construită pe baza planurilor arhitectului C.D. Galin și, ea, a fost deschisă amatorilor de artă câte o zi pe săptămână, începând din anul 1942. În vederea măririi spațiului de expunere a obiectelor de artă, Krikor a efectuat ample lucrări de reamenajare în anul 1957.

Colecția lui Krikor Zambaccian este constituită din obiecte de artă românească de o calitate excepțională și ea se erijează practic într-o importantă și valoroasă istorie a picturii românești. Ea cuprinde capodopere de netăgăduit a maeștrilor din secolul al XIX-lea și începutul secolului al XX-lea cum au fost Luchian (Lăutul, Scară cu flori, Tufănele în ulcică),  Theodor Aman (Autoportret), Ion Andreescu (Iarna la Barbizon), Nicolae Grigorescu (Intrare în pădurea Fontainbleau, Peisaj din Bretagne, Portret de femeie). Perioada interbelică este reprezentată în colecție prin capodopere semnate de către Theodor Pallady (Natură statică cu mănușă neagră), Nicolae Tonitza (Katiușa lipoveanca, Nina în verde),  Gheorghe Petrașcu (Autoportret cu beretă roșie, Natură statică, Portretul lui Zambaccian), Camil Ressu, Iosif Iser, Nicolae Dărăscu.

Ca Mecena al epocii sale, Krikor H. Zambaccian descoperea și lansa pictori și sculptori, dădea comenzi speciale artiștilor aflați la începutul carierei și achiziționa cele mai valoroase opere create de aceștia, precum Alexandru Padina, Ion Țuculescu, Corneliu Baba, Alexandru Ciucurencu, Horia Damian. Sculpturile existente ca exponate în colecția sa erau create de Brâncuși (Cap de copil), Milița Petrașcu, Dimitrie Paciurea (Bust de femeie), Cornel Medrea și Oscar Han (Arcașul).

În anul 2008, casa sa aflată în postura de Muzeu a intrat într-un proces de renovare și consolidare a clădirii și o mare parte din lucrări au fost restaurate. Astăzi, pe lângă lucrările de artă românească sunt expuse și pânze ale școlii franceze reprezentate de către Corot, Alfred Sisley, Delacroix, Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Picasso, Maurice Utrillo, Pierre Bonnard, Albert Marquet, Pissarro.

Muzeul Zambaccian a fost inaugurat în anul 1947 și Krikor Zambaccian a fost decorat de către Regele Mihai. În cartea sa "Însemnările unui amator de artă" face la final o declarație de donație, după cum urmează:

Biggirl's record breaking banana pepper.
The above is not my record breaking banana pepper. That's a roma tomato I just noticed being rather large and lumpy. He's masquerading as a banana pepper.
Not so impressive in the picture since there's nothing to compare it to but it is the largest banana pepper I've ever grown. It is bigger than my head. I'd say it's about a foot long. And it's still growing.
I also need to find me some lettuce and cabbage seeds to fill the bed that held the garlic. Although I don't hold out much hope for them. Our resident robin, Rocky, will surely eat all the seeds.
Here is this year's marigold border.
Still a bit weedy but much better than last year and a thousand times better than the year before. I don't know what else I can do besides the landscaping cloth and mulch. Weeds are tenacious motherfuckers. Those tall marigolds in the middle? They are the ones that made it from the indoor February start.
Also, why not a close up of the pretty marigolds?
It's never too late! Go get flowers and put them in right now.

Apple's iTunes Is The USA's Favorite Video Streaming Service
by Joe White
It's official: iTunes is the United States' favorite video streaming service, according to a recent consumer satisfaction survey conducted by ForeSee. In the research firm's 2013 Mobile Satisfaction Index: Media and Entertainment Edition, consumers were asked to choose their favorite of 22 video services, which included HBO Go, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, and Hulu Plus. Top of the list, however, was Apple's iTunes Store, with the online service scoring 80 out of a possible 100 points. HBO Go and Netflix shared the No. 2 position, and each scored 79. The average score for such services was 78, and Hulu Plus was awarded a below-average 75. Foresee said:
iTunes is the de facto experience when consumers are using Apple's iOS platform. The iTunes app comes pre-installed on iPhones and iPads. It is a significant market advantage that users do not have to elect to download the app. Also, it provides guidance to other content and media apps since the iTunes app's user experience has become the standard for how other apps look, feel, and behave. Millions of consumers then actively choose to engage with iTunes to download content.
Of course, Apple's iTunes has proven to be popular all round: Recently, the service served more than 1 billion podcast subscriptions, and in May more than 50 billion iOS applications were downloaded through the App Store. Rumors concerning an Apple HDTV and accompanying television service, however, could see the Cupertino, Calif. company further assert itself as a popular movie- and TV-streaming option. Is iTunes your go-to video service, or are you more of a Netflix user?

Before acting on my advice, let me first offer a caveat that markets imperfectly reflect interdependent economies, each of which are complex adaptive systems that dynamically interact with other complex adaptive economies in a highly interconnected and diverse adaptive worldwide economy under conditions of uncertainty and imperfect knowledge leading to emergent outcomes that are inherently path dependent. Ability to adapt portfolios through the dance of history become critical to success!
As things now stand, I'll offer a brief historical perspective along with guideposts to help identify key milestones likely to unfold in the wake of the recent Balance Sheet Recession which I suspect is the first act in what is likely to prove to be a decade of weakness. My strong hunch is that the next generation will look back on this decade as one of Contained Depression rather than a series of recessions.
My base case scenario is that governments will do everything in their power to delay an Austrian-style depression. But this "Great Debt Supercycle" (as identified by BCA Research) will not end well.
Unless hastened by dominoes of interlocking debt, my bet is that the U.S. can kick the can down the road for at least another decade (and possibly two decades due in part to massive assets that the U.S. could sell if forced into a Greek-style austerity). I am also confident that the U.S. will somehow deal with its debt ceiling whether through short term measures or a claim by Obama that the debt ceiling is unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment (a position that Bill Clinton publicly stated that he would take were he now in Obama's shoes).
Europe has less time and the European PIG countries (Portugal, Ireland, and Greece) are facing immediate default unless bailed out by EU, the IMF, China. The ECB has already poisoned its balance sheet with Greek debt and will itself need to be supported by the core European countries. The contagion must (and at least for now probably will) stop with Portugal which ostensibly suffers from private sector debt but could suddenly find an explosion of public sector debt if its banks fail due to ownership of Greek bonds and large numbers of variable-rate mortgages secured by depreciating real assets. If the contagion moves to Italy and Spain, the EU's future will be seriously in doubt. In the end, I wouldn't be surprised to find that China plays a big role in any solution (putting them in a much stronger bargaining position on a going forward basis).
I strongly suspect that we will temporarily resolve the debt crises on both sides of the Atlantic. Politicians around the world are still haunted by the memories of Lehman Brothers and understand they are playing a game of chicken in the context of Mutually Assured Economic Destruction. From this perspective, it makes sense for risk-takers to bet on a temporary resolution of debt crises in the developed world. But because the downside is so great and because we are facing a second soft patch in this cycles (as predicted by the ECRI's Weekly Leading Index which has happily stabilized in the past two weeks but which nevertheless remains concerning due to the unusual circumstance of two soft patches in the first two years of recovery).
My guess is that debt crises will be "solved" by more debt & debt restructuring which will ultimately add further steam to a debt snowball that could eventually bring down increasingly fragilized economic and social structures and further support prices of precious metals in world of rapidly sinking faith in fiat currencies. Under a worst-case selloff, everything including precious metals would fall in a cascading avalanche. Happily, I suspect that this Armageddon scenario can be postponed for much longer than most believe. If we are lucky, technology may help to cover our multitude of sins. My guess is that much more pain will first have to be faced sometime in the next decade (which I might call "2020 or 2025 for short).
2. The collapse of Lehman Brothers sparked a vicious circle of deleveraging which begat price declines which begat deleveraging which begat further declines in prices. It proved to be the tipping point that turned the economy from an inexorable credit expansion to a long period of consumer retrenchment and an ongoing Liquidity Trap.
4. Having stemmed the tide of immediate collapse, the authorities appear to be holding out hope that Economic Fault Lines (or forest fires) can be gradually defused with mini-earthquakes (or controlled burns).
5. Facing restive citizens, authorities composed of Politicians and Central Bankers have attacked the problem with a one-two punch of fiscal stimulus and monetary easing.
a. The hope is that the propulsion from monetary and fiscal policy will boost the economy out of stall speed into a sustainable orbit.
b. The problem is that the economic booster shots have almost run their course and the problems of excess leverage are being covered over with more leverage with uncertain long term consequences.
a. The short term risk of not servicing U.S. debt obligations is of very low probability but catastrophic consequences.
ii. Aggressive traders who want to play the short & intermediate term upside might want to speculate that enough fingers are put in European dikes and the US Congress kicks the can down the road. This strikes me as the highest probability event but failure to achieve could prove very bad.
d. Profit margins should remain high although they will begin to compress with new competition and as workers are slowly rehired.
c. The Private Sector Eventually Adapts and We are Better For It.
a. Fiscal expansion has mitigated the damage and led to a "Contained Depression" in which excesses will likely take longer to resolve than would be the case with a second Great Depression.
v. In short, the government is making a lot of anti-growth choices but needs growth to stimulate job creation.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.
I'm not quite sure how to say this; you made it exrtemely easy for me!
Gee wlilkiers, that's such a great post!
I can't believe I've been going for years without kwnoing that.
That's a subtle way of tihnknig about it.
We definitely need more smart people like you aornud.
Hello there! I quite agree with your thoughts. Many thanks for posting this.
That's really srhwed! Good to see the logic set out so well.
You get a lot of respect from me for writing these helpful aritcels.
Surprisingly well-written and infomrative for a free online article.
Great isinhgt. Relieved I'm on the same side as you.
You've relaly captured all the essentials in this subject area, haven't you?
I love these articles. How many words can a wodsrmith smith?
That isinght would have saved us a lot of effort early on.

This waterway was named in honor of the great Apache scout, Chief Alchesay, whose native name proved so difficult for U.S. Army officials to pronounce that they simply referred to him as A-1. The label stuck and became his official U.S. Cavalry serial number. I can't think of a more fitting moniker for this waterway-often the first White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation reservoir seen by anglers. It's most befitting of a scout.

To get to A1 Lake just drive east on Hwy 260 and just before reaching the 273 south look for the signs to the lake.
I've drove by this spot a thousand times going to Cali. I need to stop and through a pole one of these days. There are always a lot of people on jet ski's in this spot.
There are good spots here if you can get in a boat that can handle the current to cast into the weeds.

Kygo & Ryan Tedder to Give Exclusive Performance on 'Summer Camp' Series
By Taylor Fields Jul 15, 2020
Each year, kids across the country go off to summer camp, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, many campers will be missing out on all the fun this year — but, not for long, because iHeartRadio's "Summer Camp with the Stars" is happening every week throughout July.
"Summer Camp with the Stars" will feature a few of the biggest stars in music — AKA your camp counselors — as they host family-friendly activities remotely from their own homes. The upcoming July 17th episode features Kygo and OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder as they give an exclusive performance by the campfire.
Tune in to "Summer Camp with the Stars" with Kygo & Ryan Tedder on Friday, July 17th at 5pm ET on iHeartRadio's Facebook page. So, make sure to tune in every Friday in July, because summer camp is in session.
"Summer Camp with the Stars" kicked off with AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, as he and his daughter taught a dance class from home together. As McLean said in a statement, "It's so important that we still find moments to just have fun with our children during such a strange time."
And last week, Noah Cyrus took on camp counselor duties while giving an intimate campfire performance. More stars are set to lead fun summer activities throughout the rest of the month, so be sure to tune in every Friday at 5pm ET!

Why I write this story
Book Prologue
A Century of Friendship-Prologue
It's 1996. I am seven years old and I'm sitting next to my Grandpa, whose name is
Johnson, starting one of our frequent Question and Answer sessions.
"Grandpa, who is your best friend?" I ask.
"Hollace. Hollace William," Grandpa replies.
"I have never seen him come to visit you. Why?" I ask.
"Sweetie, it is not yet the time for him to come. Can you help me go to visit him in 2002?" he says.
"In 2002? Why?" I ask.
"You will know when you meet him. Go to the Blue Lake, bring this
necklace with you, and you will find him there." Grandpa takes off his necklace, which has a pendant that resembles a rabbit face, and gives it to me.
"How will I know it's him?" I ask.
"Don't worry, sweetie, he will know you," Grandpa replies with a smile.
Since that day onwards, I have worn the rabbit face necklace, but gradually the promise I gave to my grandpa faded away, until one day, my school
organised a summer camp at the Blue Lake … and that was in 2002…

Have you ever wondered what your body would say if it could talk to you? Think of all it has done for you, with you.
It's amazing how we function daily, mostly concerned about the exterior things in life, and forgetting to give thanks to the vessels that make it possible.
We rounded up four well-known women in different careers and asked them to write a letter to their bodies. Try this too!
First you were a baby, not able to control your own head but as nature would have it, you found your balance.
Thank you. Then you were a child, jumping fences and collecting scars, than you.
Then you switched up on me and started transitioning to a young woman, you adapted well.
Thank you. You had to endure my young adulthood experiments and you survived all that, thank you.
With age you endured quite a bit, actually a lot.
Changing as and when my mind and actions allowed, stretching to produce other humans, stretch marked and darkened, 3 times you that, and how lucky am I to have you snap back every time? I really cant thank you enough.
Now as a full grown adult, sometimes I notice a wrinkle here and there.
Maybe I am paranoid because after a while they disappear only to reaper somewhere else.
Sometimes the little belly pouch takes center stage and makes me feel insecure, sometimes it can be on the same "insecure" day, the belly pouch fits just rite into a crop top.
Thank you for understanding. Sometimes I wear you out and get a few needles on the back to fix you, but you still manage to carry me.
Thank you for always having such a strong backbone, despite all the things you went through.
Thank you for carrying me and reminding me that I am alive, I'm here, I'm beautiful, and I matter. I promise to nourish you well, and to be grateful for you being my one and only body.
Created so perfectly by God; positioned, structured and curved just right just for me.
I would like to say thank you. Thank you for loving me even when I never did. For not giving up on me when I did.
Thank you for warm nights in winter because that's where you shine best.
I am honored that you are mine because every dimple, stretch mark, cellulite even the flabby arms and potbelly have taught me to love without judgment.
You are true beauty that is worth celebrating everyday. I love you.
Dear greatness, yes I said it, you are greatness.
Dear greatest temple of my soul, you are the epitome of what is seen as Godly, a spiritual being- carefully molded by gold dust you are a purposeful being with grace oozing out of every single thing you do and achieve.
You are fearfully made, God was so careful when he created you.
I am so sorry I used to wish you were different, I wanted to change you and I was so frustrated by you for so many years.
I fed you the wrong things, I gave you too much sugar, salt, and gave you toxins.
I even cut you at some point I tried to eliminate you permanently 13 times.
I'm so sorry. But I'm glad I never gave you any ethanol to destroy your liver nor allowed peer pressure to make me give any underserving being your forbidden fruit, I did not disappoint you there.
It took me, tapping into my intuition to understand that you are a work of art, a force to be reckoned with, that the world is a canvas and you are the paint.
You are a powerhouse, a walking conscious mind, well aware of every emotion.
Dear body, you are not the enemy, nor are you in any way unfriendly or even indifferent to the mind.
The very existence of you is bliss. I love you and with the love I have for you I am more relaxed.
It is not wrong; it is not narcissistic to be in love with you.
In fact it is the first step towards spirituality.
Dear precious body, I listen when you speak now, I know you love meditating because; it goes up to the fifth, the bliss body. Meditation makes you perfectly conscious- absolute light with no dark.
Meditation drops all props, all supports. Nothing is left- just pure understanding, witnessing.
I know spiritual growth can be hard on you as the physical body, especially in the periods of rapid growth.
Hold on, we are transcending into greater realms, we are mastering the art of remaining calm in situations, the art of being unbothered by negative energy and the beautiful art of protecting your peace. Dear body, you are different and that's perfect.
As I am becoming a woman everyday, I cherish you and put you first.
It hasn't always been like this though.
I have been so hard on you before, I used to scrutinize you, and feed you all the wrong things and called you all the bad names you could ever think of.
With growth came a lot of unconditional love and acceptance towards you.
I'm so happy I finally found my confidence. Inserts heart emoji.


I bought this in a charity shop and I think I will return it there now that I've finished it.
The story focuses around two years, 1891 and 2007. In 1891 we follow seventeen-year-old Leonie Vernier and her brother, who abandon Paris for the sanctuary of their aunt's isolated country house near Carcassonne, the Domaine de la Cade. There is talk of revolution and the people are hostile against the Prussians, going so far as to attack plays and operas originating from that area. Among the social unrest, Leonie stumbles across a ruined sepulchre – and a timeless mystery – whose traces are written in blood.
The book jumps forwards to 2007 where Meredith Martin arrives at the Domaine de la Cade to do research on a biography. We follow her on her daily routine as she boards a train, has breakfast, gets dressed and then finally starts looking for the key to her own mystery.
The book bored me to tears! There is a lot of meaningless and detailed padding and at a staggering 784 pages, I feel that some of the descriptions and settings could have been left out.
If you're a huge fan of gothic fiction, then you'll really enjoy this book. It's not really aimed at young adults, but the same breathy atmospheric elements you'll find in books like Lauren Kate's Fallen are there.
SEPULCHRE could've been half the length & twice as interesting without the meandering travelogue descriptions & boring-as-hell contemporary sections.
It is full of enormous amounts of tedious descriptions of ancient and current French landmarks, French historical events, French historical figures, and untranslated French dialogue. Thank God I know French, otherwise I'd have been lost.
In another alcove she found a collection of both religious and fervently antireligious texts, grouped together as if to cancel one another out. In the section devoted to contemporary French literature, there was a set of Zola's Rougon-Macquart novels, as well as Flaubert, Maupassant and Huysmans –indeed, many of the intellectually improving texts Anatole tried in vain to press upon her, even a first edition of Stendhal's Le rouge et le noir. There were a few works in translation but nothing entirely to her taste except for Baudelaire's translations of Monsieur Poe. Nothing by Madame Radcliffe or Monsieur Le Fanu . . . The first was Dogme et rituel de la haute magie by Éliphaas Lévi. Next to it was a volume titled Traité méthodique de science occulte. On the shelf above, several other writings by Papus, Court de Gébelin, Etteilla and MacGregor Mathers. She had never read such authors but knew they were occultist writers and considered subversive. Their names appeared regularly in the columns of newspapers and periodicals.
I found it too complicated and there was far too much about the meaning of the various Tarot cards. I somewhat enjoyed reading about the lifestyle in the 1890's and the way places had changed over time, but the ccnstant reference to the Tarot cards wore me out. If only they'd had included some images too!
1/5 would not recommend. Boring.

Japanese Tattoo Designs of the name Adama written vertically in katakana.

Japanese Tattoo Design of Adama in katakana with a red eternity seal and the kanji for "My Love".
Japanese Tattoo Design of Adama in katakana with the phrase "Soul Mate" and a small red seal for eternity.
Here we offer authentic Japanese Tattoo designs of the name Adama by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase. Remember that names are translated to Japanese by how they are pronounced. So these Japanese Tattoo designs of Adama are only correct for you if you pronounce Adama as a-dah-mah. That is the name Adama (when pronounced a-dah-mah) in Japanese katakana is アダマ with the romaji adama.
The standard way that names are translated to Japanese is with katakana. And these are the samples we show above. We also offer Adama in hiragana which while not standard may be preferred when a more feminine Japanese Tattoo design of Adama is wanted. Adama in hiragana is あだま.
Translations You Can Trust Look up Adama in Jeffrey's J/E Dictionary at Adama. A person using this exact same translation is Adama Bila (アダマ・ビラ).
With your order, you will receive everything you need for the perfect Adama in Japanese Tattoo. Your design comes as an Adobe PDF file which means it will print exactly as Master Takase brushed the design and, of course, it includes the line art (also called a stencil) which your tattoo artist must have to properly ink the design.

Q: loop through array - add value returned from promise to each object in array basically, there's a small confusion I have.
I have an array of objects with each object having a person's name and the city that person is living in.
now, what I want to do is to loop through the whole array and get the distance of the city of each item in the loop from, say, California.
what I want to do is to use the city name to get the distance from california for that city and add it to each object in the array.
so, say item at index 1 has city Alabama, then I want the distance from Alabama to California and that as property distance to that item
like {name: John1, city:'Alabama', distance:'whatever the distance is'}
now, I have already done that using promise.allsettled but not sure if the order in which it is returning the data is same or mixed up so not sure if I am appending the correct distance to the correct item.
I am hoping that it returns things in the correct order and the way I have done it is correct, but if there's a better and cleaner way to do this, then I'd like to know how to do that.
Here's the code too
import React from 'react';
import _ from 'lodash';
import axios from 'axios';

export default class GetDistance extends React.Component{
    state = {
        loggedInCity: 'Georgia',
        isLoading: false,
        projectsWithDistance:[],
        projects : [
            {
                name: 'John1',
                city: 'Alabama'
            },
            {
                name: 'John2',
                city: 'Arizona'
            },
            {
                name: 'John3',
                city: 'California'
            },
            {
                name: 'John4',
                city: 'Colorado'
            },
            {
                name: 'John5',
                city: 'Connecticut'
            },
            {
                name: 'John',
                city: 'Florida'
            },
            {
                name: 'John6',
                city: 'Idaho'
            },
            {
                name: 'John7',
                city: 'Kansas'
            },
            {
                name: 'John8',
                city: 'Maine'
            },
            {
                name: 'John9',
                city: 'Hawaii'
            },

        ]
    }

    getDistance = (zipFrom, zipTo) => {
        console.log('zipFrom : ',zipFrom);
        console.log('zipTo : ',zipTo);
        return new Promise((resolve, reject)=>{
          axios.post('http://localhost:8080/getDistance',{
          zipcodeTo:zipTo,
          zipcodeFrom:zipFrom
        })
        .then((res)=>{
          console.log('res from get distance in reducer : ',res.data);
          resolve(res.data.distance);
        })
        .catch((err)=>{
          console.log('error from distance : ',err)
          reject('');
        });
        })

    }

    async componentDidMount(){
        const projects = this.state.projects;
        const from = this.state.loggedInCity;
        const promisesArr = [];
        for(var i=0; i<projects.length;i++){
            let distance = 0;
            let to = projects[i].city;
            distance = this.getDistance(from,to);
            promisesArr.push(distance);
        }
        const results = await Promise.allSettled(promisesArr);
        console.log('results : ',results);
        const projectsWithDistance = [];
        for(var i=0; i<projects.length;i++){
            let newProject = _.cloneDeep(projects[i]);
            const distanceFromResult = results[i].value;
            newProject.distance = distanceFromResult;
            projectsWithDistance.push(newProject);
        }
        this.setState({
            isLoading:false,
            projectsWithDistance
        });
    }

    render(){
        const {projectsWithDistance,isLoading, loggedInCity} = this.state;
        return(

                {isLoading?
'Loading...
:''}
                {!isLoading && projectsWithDistance.length>0?projectsWithDistance.map((item)=>{
                    return
Distance between {loggedInCity} and {item.city} is {item.distance}

                }):''}

        )
    }
}

A: You can replace the for loop by for..of loop.
const results = []
for await (const project of projects){
  let distance = 0;
  let to = projects[i].city;
  this.getDistance(from,to).then(distance => results.push(distance))
}

The for of loop is asynchronous in nature. So this should get it done.

Poinciana tree photo is a contest winner for Gardens resident
Sarah Peters @Speters09
Nov 2, 2017 at 12:01 AM Nov 2, 2017 at 3:36 PM
Marilyn Samwick takes pictures for her own enjoyment. If other people like them, too, that's a bonus.
RELATED: It's a blur: Carousel photo catches judges' eye in Gardens contest
The Garden Oaks resident was delighted when her photo of the blooming poinciana trees earned "Best in Show" in this year's Palm Beach Gardens resident photo contest. She snapped the shot of the trees outside the Gardens East apartments in mid-June with her Panasonic Lumix camera, she said.
READ: Massive royal poinciana crashes: 'It sounded like a tree screaming'
Samwick thought they looked photogenic, so she took the picture and then digitally enhanced it to make the grove look like a globe.
Poinciana trees are special to Samwick. She planted one in memory of her husband in her front yard after he died three years ago, she said. A neighbor suggested she go to see the flowering trees at Alternate A1A and Burns Road.
She picked up photography after she retired from real estate in 2005. Nature, flowers, animals and architecture are her favorite subjects, she said. The hobby gave her and her husband something to do together when his health deteriorated.
Photography is also a way to keep a record of history, Samwick said.
"We all think we're going to remember something just the way it was, and somehow, that doesn't happen," she said.

When you think of Christmas, and the typical outings, activities and excursions it brings along with it, a Christmas boat trip is probably very rarely one of them!
Though, why not I say!
If you're lucky enough to be residents of a town with the beautiful Kennet & Avon Canal running through it, then surely it's a great idea to make the most of it – in ALL seasons!
I hadn't heard of the 'Cruise with Santa' Christmas trip aboard The "Rose of Hungerford", a purpose built 55 feet long passenger trip boat owned by the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust, until it was suggested to me by a friend, who had also been on their Halloween adventure, but when she asked me if we fancied coming along too, I excitedly agreed.
Firstly, it was a lovely way to spend yet more quality time with your young family at Christmas, secondly it wasn't at all expensive, and thirdly – it didn't take very long, so you still had plenty of time left to finish off (or start!) all your Christmas shopping!
And I suppose, with it on our doorstep, we'd have been daft not to at least give it a try and see what it was all about.
The Meeting Point alongside the canal!
So, with places going fast, we managed to book for the weekend just before Christmas.
It was £8 per person, which we didn't think was bad at all, for the one hour long trip where the children even had the chance to meet Father Christmas and each receive a toy which had been especially chosen for them accruing to the details we had given when signing up for the trip.
Also included in the price, each adult received a really very lovely glass of mulled wine, and a warm mince pie. Now normally, with any activity I've ever experienced like this, you only ever get served your drink in a plastic cup or plastic wine glass, so it felt really rather civilised to be sat, chatting away and laughing along with your friends, holding a 'proper' glass of wine whilst sailing on the high seas! Ahem. Ok – not so much the high seas as the ripples of the canal, but hey!
We had all wrapped up warm, with our coats, hats and gloves, but the day was so glorious, we had to shed most of these off along the way.
As I mentioned above, the trip was only very short, literally down the canal, through a lock, and back again, only stopping to pick up Father Christmas who was waving to us from the towpath!
Those organising it, The Kennet and Avon Canal Trust, and the canalboat itself, The Rose of Hungerford were fabulous. They were so very kind and attentive, full of smiles and festive cheer. They each played the part of Santa's elves and were all dressed up in the typical red and green outfits, which the children thought was fabulous.
One of them even read stories to the children to keep them entertained and in high spirits, which was also rather good for the adults as it gave us the chance to catch up with one another as well!
I think H was singing – check out the little girl with her hands over her ears!!
With regard to facilities it was excellent – wheelchair access, adequate toilet facilities, safety gear etc plus we had lugged our big old buggy with us which was full of change bags and blankets, which was of no problem at all as it was just collapsed and strapped to the roof of the canalboat! Perfect huh!
Little E enjoying this part of the trip rather less than H did!!
When the little trip had come to an end, we all disembarked holding tightly onto the hands of little ones with big beaming smiles and happy faces.
They'd all had a brilliant time.
No doubt this will be yet another addition to our annual Christmas Traditions and festivities.
Then, before we left the canal side, good old mummy had been at her Girl Guide/Boy Scout antics again and had come armed and dangerous with full loaf of bread ready to dish out to the kids to feed the ducks.
This was amazing too – we were totally swarmed by ducks and swans from all angles!
Daddy and Ella even got photobombed by a swan!! Take a peek below.

That's so lovely. We have a boat and go for a 'brass monkey' cruise on boxing day with all our boating friends.
Boating is a fun and exciting excursion for the entire family and there is no reason not to go even during Christmas, it looks like the family had lots of fun while they were there and the environments look beautiful.


Notre Europe: "a new resource for the european budget"
On Saturday, November 13, Notre Europe's Steering Committee met at the Collège des Bernardins in Paris. The meeting, chaired by Jacques Delors, former of the European Commission and founding President of the think tank Notre Europe was attended by current President Tommaso Padoa-Schoppa and more than forty other participants. Following the debates, all participating members signed a joint declaration entitled "a new resource of the european budget".
As Member States prepare to renegotiate the full range of resources allocated to community policies in the coming lengthy seven-year period, the vast majority appear to believe that since all national budgets are being cut, the budget of the European Union should be similarly curtailed. This approach is misguided. It is based on faulty assumptions and runs counter to European interests.
The assumptions are wrong because national budgets are different from the European budget, and to compare the two is an exercise in demagogy. It must be remembered that the EU budget only accounts for about 1% of GDP compared to 25% in the U.S.
Curtailing the EU budget would run counter to the interests of Europe because it would condemn the Union to economic depression or at best stagnation. At a time when national governments are forced to adopt austerity measures, the European budget can and must be used as an instrument to boost the economy. The Union is granted new competencies by the Lisbon Treaty and has set very high goals for 2020 to promote intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth. With its current resources it will be unable achieve these goals. The EU's momentum and democratic underpinnings would again be shaken by a complete mismatch between the objectives it proclaims and the resources made available to achieve them.
EU spending is not simply added to national spending. In a number of areas (such as solidarity, defence, research and innovation and European energy and transport infrastructure), the Union can streamline total spending through economies of scale and take more effective action with fewer resources. Can the EU's current resources be used to increase the Community budget? Certainly not. The bulk of the EU budget is financed through national contributions provided by Member States at a time of national belt-tightening.
The European Union needs a new own resource, with receipts going directly to the EU budget rather than being channelled through Member States. In fact, it is this type of resource that was foreseen by the Founding Treaties for the financing of EU actions.
Governments would be wrong to see this as the spectre of a European tax and use it to alarm to public opinion. A new own resource could increase the EU budget and decrease Member State contributions. It would enable the Union to make progress in combating climate change, through a carbon tax, or excessive financial risk-taking, through a tax on financial transactions.
European citizens would fail to understand if the post-crisis world were to be a carbon copy of the pre-crisis world with a bit less growth and more unemployment. A European economic recovery budget based on a new own resource, to be used to achieve ambitious goals, is an economic and social necessity and a matter of political urgency.
