Today's workers face an entirely different retirement outlook than their predecessors. Gone are the days of employer-sponsored pensions for most jobs. Instead, Americans must take an active role in planning for their own retirement. In this environment, the role of the Financial Planner has become even more important. Contrary to what you may think, financial advisors aren't just for people who already have a lot of wealth. Here in Bucks County, The First has been helping local individuals and families meet their financial goals for generations. Our professional team can help you accumulate assets for retirement and meet other objectives. We've put together this list of questions to ask us–or any financial advisor you're considering working with–so you can feel empowered and informed to find the best partner for your financial planning needs.
How do you get paid? What are my all-in costs? Extra fees?
Commissions: An advisor who works on commission receives a percentage (usually 3-6 percent) of the money you invest in a fund.
Fees: A "fee-only" advisor will charge either an hourly fee for the time they spend on your investment plan, a flat fee (such as an annual rate for access to their time and services), or a retainer.
Combination: Some advisors make money from a combination of commissions and fees.
It's hard to say which option is better or best for you. That will depend on your particular situation and investment goals. As mentioned, transparency is the most important thing. You'll feel better about the process when you know how your financial advisor gets paid, how much you will pay for financial advising services, and what exactly you'll get in return. At The First, there are no hidden costs and our investment management fees are some of the lowest out there.
Now that you know how your financial advisor gets paid, this is the second most important question to ask. According to the IRS, "a fiduciary is a person who owes a duty of care and trust to another and must act primarily for the benefit of the other in a particular activity." For financial advisors, acting as a fiduciary means all of the recommendations they make and the actions they take on your behalf must be in your best interest. Choosing a financial advisor who acts as a fiduciary, as FNBN's Trust and Wealth Management advisors do, means you can trust your financial advisor to always put your needs and goals first regardless of how they make money. This may sound like common sense, but financial institutions and advisors are not legally required to act as fiduciaries. This is why you need to ask.
Do you take custody or have access to my assets?
This is another very important question because it can help you avoid Ponzi schemes and other frauds designed to steal your money instead of investing it. A trustworthy financial advisor shouldn't have access to your assets. Instead, they use in-house or third-party custodians to handle administrative tasks such as processing transactions, collecting dividend and interest payments.
Asking this question will help you establish expectations so there are no misunderstandings later on. The answer will vary among financial advisors, sometimes depending on how they are paid. The most important thing is to find an advisor who answers this question to your liking. Some people want to be more involved in the process, whereas others are content to let the advisor handle it and review monthly statements.
Do you have experience working with situations like mine?
If you have a heart problem, you go to a cardiologist. If you need marital counseling, you look for a therapist with training and experience in this particular niche. Likewise, financial advisors have different areas of expertise based on their training and experience. Find one with plenty of knowledge and hands-on experience in the topic–such as taxes or investing–you're most concerned with.
When it comes to experience, local expertise can be just as crucial as topical knowledge. Here in Bucks County, many of our financial planning clients live locally but work in Philadelphia or New Jersey, where different tax ramifications apply. The same thing is true for clients who own investment property, for example, in a different state or city. When you work with a local financial advisor like the professionals at The First, you can feel confident that they've helped many others just like you and understand the ins and outs of local and neighboring tax laws and other regional considerations.
Remember that selecting a financial advisor should be the first step in building a beneficial lifelong relationship. Therefore, you want to find someone who can provide a range of services. Even if right now you're only concerned with investing, for example, your needs are likely to change as time passes and your life situation changes. At The First, our Trust and Wealth Management Team provides a full array of financial planning services from Divorce Financial Analysis to Estate Administration, Investment Management, Trust Services, and more. We are your partner in financial planning throughout your life and whatever it brings.
Knowing how your advisor will measure success helps you understand what to expect from your investment plan over the long-run. Some advisors may use the Standard & Poor's 500 as their benchmark, for example, and try to beat it. What's important here is knowing what your advisor's benchmarks are and what that means for your investments.
Fees aren't the only thing that can eat into your investment returns. Make sure your advisor is knowledgeable about the tax ramifications of certain investment decisions. You want to make sure that the tax bill associated with your investments doesn't exceed the profits.
Now that you know what to talk about at your first meeting with a financial advisor, it's time to make an appointment. May we suggest that you start with your local community bank in Bucks County? Our Trust & Wealth Management team is comprised of highly-trained and experienced professionals, so you're sure to find a good fit. Contact us and start planning for your financial future today!

Tuesdays with Corti: Super Troupers
Here's a slice of life for you this Tuesday, October 4, 2016 (well, maybe it's the whole loaf of bread):
Last week a nasty pinball of a cold ricocheted its way through Paramount's Mamma Mia! cast causing a few of our super troupers to call in, heartsick, to miss their show. The company rallied around them one by one until their recovery (which mercifully was quick!), and the production didn't miss a beat. Emergency rehearsals were called, and Stage Manager (Amber Johnson), Dance Captain (Aubrey Adams) and Conductor (Tom Vendafreddo) expertly adjusted staging, choreography and vocals leaving me starry-eyed in admiration how swift, ready and comprehensive everyone was on their game.
By Thursday evening one of our star players was hit, talented Kiersten Frumkin who is a knockout playing our beautiful "Sophie," and it was up to her cover, Allyson Graves, to purpose all her hard work in understudy rehearsals and go on. It's always kind of like a new opening night when an understudy goes on, and this part is huge. Well, there was that nervous energy, anticipation and electricity in the air again, and in the finest show business tradition, Ms. Graves was incandescent and confident and won over an audience who would never have guessed this was her first time out! That's one of the greatest things this theatre life is all about. It's not solely about how "the show must go on." It's about when there's an unfortunate circumstance that could make for a difficult challenge there are individuals who are trained and gifted who can step up and make a difference with their heart in it. Not only did Allyson do herself proud, her work elevated and excited her fellow actors who were present for her in an extraordinary team effort. If the tables were turned, Kiersten would do the very same! It's about a culture I like to think is particular to Chicago Theatre, how artists respect each other and support each other whether its needed or not, without a second thought; it just goes without sayin'. Out of bad things, good things can happen bringing out the best in everyone. We're always ready to take care of each other. If only this was the way of the world…
God knows what bad times we are living through when one thinks of the gang violence, the daily shootings, hate speech and politics. There is something about the world of art and music that gives us a getaway, a respite, a needed tonic of joy and celebration. If ever there was a show that feels like a vacation for two hours, its Mamma Mia!. You're on an idyllic Greek isle, full of beautiful, happy souls singing their hearts out to ABBA! We're half way through the run as it closes Sunday, October 30. Take my advice, and be there. I'm still waking up almost every morning singing:
Waterloo-I was defeated you won the war.
Waterloo-promise to love you for evermore.
Waterloo-couldn't escape if I wanted to.
Waterloo-knowing my fate is to be with you.
Waterloo-finally facing my Waterloo!
Not a bad thing; watching folks dancing up the aisles and out the theatre doors onto Galena Boulevard. Go see for yourself!
Love & thanks

World Cup breakfasts: Spinach and cheese strata
June 25, 2014 by Elizabeth Mars 5 Comments
It's tough being a World Cup fan in Australia. Apart from that one glorious moment when South Korea and Japan hosted the 2002 World Cup (and we had the absolute luxury of a southern hemisphere time zone), in general, the Australian football fan who wants to watch the World Cup tournament has to adjust to the northern hemisphere time zones. This means our World Cup experience is mixed with the usual euphoric highs and obsessive football fever but also includes a lot of disruption to our natural circadian rhythms and extreme sleep deprivation, which turns us all slightly bonkers for the duration of the tournament.
The first group stage is the most grueling: three matches a day, with kick off times ranging from 2am to 8am (with the one exception of an 11am start!). So, many decisions to make… to sleep, or not to sleep. It's not even like you can go to bed super early and get up for a 2am kick off with a few hours of sleep, because there is the 9.30–10.30pm World Cup Show on SBS, hosted by Les Murray and Craig 'Fos' Foster, which is must-watch television for the discerning Australian football fan. Sometimes, you've got to make the crucial decision whether the get up for that 2am match or grab an extra couple of extra hours sleep. It's all about trying to survive with some of your sanity intact until the end of the Cup. Some people might argue that it's not necessary to watch the match live but I think part of the joy of the Cup is the sense of communion with the rest of the world. Everyone from a remote village in China or Africa, to the globalised cities of London and Paris, is watching the same match at the same time.
This spinach and cheese strata is just about the perfect World Cup breakfast food. A 'strata' is basically savoury bread pudding which can be prepared up to 24 hours before you actually bake it (brilliant! …everyone knows when you've got football to watch, you can't be messing around in the kitchen). Half an hour before you want to bake, it you take it out of the refrigerator. Then you pop it in the oven and 45 to 55 minutes later (just in time for half-time), you take it out and there you have it – a mess of eggy custard, toasty bread cubes and greens. It's like the breakfast equivalent of a onesie, which you can eat with just a fork and plate, in front of the telly for the second half. You don't have to miss a moment of the match, which is a good thing because everyone knows a football game can turn on a moment and you don't want to miss a single match-winning one of them.
Spinach and cheese strata
300 grams (10 ounces) package frozen spinach (thawed, squeezed of liquid) OR 2–3 bunches of fresh spinach (depending on how spinachy you like it) blanched, liquid squeezed out and roughly chopped.
1½ cups of onion, chopped
300 grams (6 ounces) coarsely grated Gruyere cheese (2 cups)
100 grams (2 ounces) finely grated parmesan cheese (1 cup)
8 cups of bread (Vienna or French) cubed in 2.5cm (1 inch) squares (about 300 grams)
2¾ cups milk
Saute onion in large heavy frying pan until translucent (about five minutes).
Stir in spinach and add ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and nutmeg stir through and cook for about a minute before removing from heat and set aside.
Generously butter a 3 litre (3 quart) gratin dish or other ceramic baking dish. Place ⅓ bread cubes in the dish, top with one ⅓ of cheese and ⅓ of spinach and onion mix. Repeat layering twice more with the rest of the bread, cheese and spinach.
Whisk together eggs, milk, mustard and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Pour over strata as evenly as possible. Cover with plastic wrap and chill strata in refrigerator for at least eight hours and up to 24 hours.
Take out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Bake uncovered in the middle rack until golden brown and cooked through for 45–55 minutes. Let rest for five minutes before serving.

A great brunch dish! I have a little different take on this delicious dish – http://cookupastory.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/and-little-lambs-eat-ivy/
Tastes even better than an Italian defender's shoulder, I'll bet!

I am not a cheese expert since I was vegan for some years, but this gruyere cheese sounds interesting. Thanks for the input.
I am guessing that this would be a little difficult to veganise… 😉

Forsyth high school student killed in July 4th wreck
Dawson County High School students also injured

adean@dawsonnews.com
A 15-year-old Forsyth high school student was killed and three Dawson County High School students were injured in a two-vehicle wreck on July 4 near the North Georgia Premium Outlets.
The wreck occurred at 9:27 p.m. at the intersection of Lumpkin Campground Road and Grizzle Road/Industrial Park Road, according to Georgia State Patrol Spokeswoman Robin Stone.
Eliza Farrell, a rising junior at Lambert High School in south Forsyth, was sitting in the rear passenger seat of a 2006 Acura when it was struck on that side by a 2011 Dodge Ram pickup truck.
"Eliza was a wonderful young lady who exemplified the best that Lambert strives for," Principal Gary Davison said. "She was kind, well-liked, hard-working. Her legacy will remain at Lambert as long as those who knew her. We will all greatly miss her."
The Acura Farrell was in was traveling west on Industrial Park Road, and the Dodge, driven by Brayden Clark, 21, of Loganville, was heading south on Lumpkin Campground Road when he reportedly failed to stop at a stop sign behind the outlets, Stone said.
Sixteen-year-old Xavier Sanchez was driving the Acura. Two other passengers in the car have been identified as Kevin Arias, 16, and Rachel Rajczak by a Dawson County High School coach. All three are students at DCHS.
Rajczak's age has not been released.
Dawson County High School Principal Richard Crumley is out of town and could not be reached for comment.
Both drivers and Rajczak were transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Arias was also transported to NGMC, and his sister Brenda Arias said Thursday night that he was out of the ICU and in a recovery room.
Stone said charges are pending upon completion of the investigation, which is being conducted by the Georgia State Patrol Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team (SCRT).
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Franz Ritter von Hipper (ur. 13 września 1863, zm. 25 maja 1932) – niemiecki admirał.

Urodził się w Weilheim in Oberbayern w Bawarii w rodzinie właściciela sklepu. W latach 1873–79 uczył się w gimnazjum w Monachium, które ukończył, nie przystępując jednak do matury. Zgłosił się do armii Bawarii jako ochotnik, po czym wstąpił do Kaiserliche Marine w 1881 roku jako 18-letni kadet. Służył na fregatach SMS "Niobe" i SMS "Leipzig", na której odbył rejs dookoła świata w latach 1882–1884. W 1885 roku uzyskał stopień oficerski. Od 1892 do 1894 roku dowodził torpedowcami, a od 1895 roku całą II Rezerwową Flotyllą Torpedowców. Od 1898 roku służył jako nawigator na okręcie flagowym floty SMS "Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm", a od kolejnego roku na jachcie cesarskim "Hohenzollern". W 1906 roku objął dowództwo krążownika pancernego "Friedrich Karl". W październiku 1913 został wyznaczony na stanowisko dowódcy Morskich Sił Zwiadowczych.

Po rozpoczęciu I wojny światowej, w 1914 Hipper dowodził krążownikami liniowymi podczas sporadycznych rajdów przeciwko nadbrzeżnym angielskim miastom, m.in. w grudniu 1914 atakując Scarborough. Dowodził niemieckimi krążownikami liniowymi podczas bitwy o Dogger Bank w styczniu 1915 roku.

Podczas bitwy jutlandzkiej (31 maja – 1 czerwca 1916) zadał Royal Navy poważne straty, zatapiając 3 krążowniki liniowe przeciwnika. Niedługo potem król Ludwik III Bawarczyk nadał mu tytuł rycerski. W sierpniu 1918 Hipper został awansowany do rangi admirała i uzyskał stanowisko głównodowodzącego floty pełnomorskiej.

Odszedł ze służby 30 listopada 1918 i spędził resztę życia w Othmarschen niedaleko Hamburga. Po śmierci urna z jego prochami została odesłana do rodzinnego miasta. Podczas II wojny światowej jego imieniem ochrzczono niemiecki ciężki krążownik – "Admiral Hipper".

Have you ever review your current SEO strategies?
In my previous must call a best web development company I got various important opportunities to learn about Important SEO tactics. Now I am employing all these tactics in my own eCommerce application development company.
In this article, we have clipped some focused search engine optimization Statistics for the upcoming year which also shows you why search engine optimization is so important. SEO and digital marketing is an important investment done by everyone.
Ranking: – If you want to accomplish the motto of SEO, it is important to have the knowledge of the latest release and updates. To make your e-commerce business or website to Google friendly, it is very important to follow all the rules and credentials set by the Google. Good ranking will surely return your better business opportunities. Getting your website into the highly valuable spot on search engines can do wonders for your business.
Long tail keywords are most happening trends in SEO. People tend to search queries by inputting long tail inputs. Even Google also support Long tail keywords. So make one better thing in new January don't just do SEO, do better SEO. Research, employ and optimize longer and most relatable keywords.
Mobile-First is the most popular trends in the digital world. Google also prioritize and rank the websites which also have mobile versions. This is one of the main factors that have put the mobile marketing on the highest priority for most digital marketers. It is highly estimated that 2018 is going to be a milestone year in the world of mobile first digital marketing. If still you haven't prepared or haven't developed mobile version, get ready for it. If you want to be at 'top of the line' also consider your website speed. Anything longer than 3 seconds can be a cause for concern. Mobile website speed is also the main ranking factor. Apart from user-friendly, your website must have to mobile-friendly if you want to compete and stand out from the competitors. Also, the increase in handheld device sizes means it's important for your website to be responsive, instead of just having one fixed size for mobile. Make sure your mobile versions are responsive and can fit on any screen regardless of the size.
Rich content: It is not a new thing or trend, high-quality content is highly demanded by the Google. Don't just fill the website. Make sure whatever content you add to your website, should be qualitative, unique and follow all the rules constrained by the search engines as added by the Andrey Lipattsev, Search Quality Senior Strategist at Google. Good quality content and link building by optimizing organic ways are crucial factors used by Google to rank your website for search.
Initially, I also got confused by long posts or various posts. If you too have some confusion let me clear out you yes its long content which ranks better. The detailed article which can provide a load of value to the prospects is high demand of search engines. Even search queries tend to be more than 4 5 words so also consider this thing.
Final Words: – It is predicted that 2018 is going to bring a lot of ups and downs in the world of digital. So your right investment approach is very important. Having a website is not a just only thing you need to be concerned, however, maintaining a website is also a resource intensive. Now is a good time to review some current SEO statistics and leverage them in planning for the future. Before undertaking an expensive development project, read out the articles based on SEO Statics meticulously and also do extensive research on SEO statics for upcoming years.

Kailua Kona has clear sunny days almost every day and has great swimming, snorkeling and other beach activities, which makes it the main vacation destination on the big island. Situated along the west coast, Kailua kona is the main town on the Kona side of the big island of Hawaii.
At the edge of town, along the ocean, is Alii drive with an assortment of restaurants, shops and a few place to get an ocean view. Further down the south of Alii drive are some good spots to snorkel and scuba dive. This section of the coast has a nice variety of places to swim from nice family snorkel pools to large drop offs for scuba divers. Alii drive is rather populated and popular with country clubs and resort homes, but a lot of nice smaller uncrowded beaches are just a short drive away to the north and the south.
South down the coast is Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park; also know as the Place of Refuge. In the old days, when someone broke a law in Hawaii the penalty was death and the only way out was to escape and make it to a place of refuge. Pu'uhonua o Honaunau was the place of refuge on the big island the National Park Service has taken over this park and rebuilt it to what it was supposedly like in the old days with structures and carvings. They also give informational tours and describe the old cultures and tell old stories.
Near Pu'uhonua o Honaunau is Honaunau Bay; also called "2-Steps". This very nice snorkeling and diving spot is called 2-Steps because at the edge of the ocean is a shelf and you can take 2 steps and be in the water. This is a very nice place to snorkel because it is a good sized bay with all sorts of tropical fish and ocean life. If you venture a out a little way, you might see some dolphins and larger ocean life.
Further down the coast is Hookena Beach Park offering camping, swimming and some decent snorkeling. There is not much coral, just patches of it here and there, but you can still see a lot of fish and ocean life out in the water.
To the north of Kailua Kona, it the population dwindles and you can find some nice lesser known beaches if you look around a bit. There are not many facilities out here, so bring water and pack a lunch. This side of the island is very dry with no rivers or streams, just desert and lava, but this can be a good area for the more adventurous types that want to find a secluded beach they don't have to share.
Further up the coast is Spencer Beach Park where the coast is mostly rocky and doesn't really offer that great of swimming or beach combing, but has some interesting ancient Hawaiian artifacts close by. There is an old temple close by called Puukohola Heiau. This temple was built around 1791 by King Kamehameha, and the story says that the King Kamehameha received advice from a priest that if he would build this temple and dedicate it to the god of war, Ku-Kailimoku, that he would conquer all of the islands. The temple was built and when it was complete, King Kamehameha invited his rival chief Keoua, who still controlled the east side of the island, to the ceremony and killed him. With this act, he gained control over the entire island. Over the next 2 decades, King Kamehameha continued his campaign and conquered Maui and Oahu.
There are a couple of other smaller, older temples in this same area; Mailekini Heiau and Hale-o-puni. Hale-o-puni is under water and people tell stories that it was a shark temple and that Hawaiian royalty would feed enemies to the sharks here.
Kailua Kona area has some great coastal places to explore ranging from family fun beaches to more remote secluded beaches. It is dry and sunny most days so it is a great place if you want almost guaranteed good beach weather for most of the year.

Pomnik pomocy Węgrom – pomnik zlokalizowany w Poznaniu, na terenie Zintegrowanego Centrum Komunikacyjnego, przy wejściu do budynku dworca Poznań Główny i galerii Poznań City Center.

Obiekt odsłonięto 23 października 2013. Fundatorem była węgierska firma TriGranit, budująca poznańskie Zintegrowane Centrum Komunikacyjne. Autorem granitowo-szklanej steli był Roman Kosmala z Poznania. Pomnik powstał jako dar wdzięczności od Węgrów za pomoc udzieloną w roku 1956, podczas trwania Powstania Węgierskiego. Z Polski, w tym zwłaszcza z Poznania, dotarła wówczas do mieszkańców Budapesztu znacząca pomoc materialna. W odsłonięciu monumentu udział wzięli: János Tischler – dyrektor Węgierskiego Instytutu Kultury, Ryszard Grobelny – prezydent Poznania, Ákos Engelmayer – uczestnik Powstania Węgierskiego, Ivan Gyurcsik – ambasador węgierski w Polsce, Sándor Demján – prezes TriGranitu, a także reprezentacja kibiców Lecha Poznań.

This has got to be one of the most happy & fun concerts we have performed in a while !
Being American Independence Day and also the centenary of the birth of Leonard Bernstein, we absolutely had to perform a medley of popular American songs (beautifully arranged by Richard Kubiak) and some best bits of Westside story.
We were particularly happy to welcome talented violinist Billy Wildefield, just 14, who played along with the Tenors & Basses as they sang the beautiful "Tell My Father" . There was not a dry eye in the house.
The second half saw us take on G&S - Trial By Jury - with special guest soloists from Bristol Gilbert & Sullivan society. What a hoot ! It's such a mad cap story, and members really got into character with the help of a few props we provided. From pompous jurymen to giggling bridesmaids (including one rather dodgy one with a beard !!) we had a great time in rehearsals and the final performance.
And it was all followed up by a fab buffet & social - so popular, there was not a sausage roll left by the end !!
Looking forward to next year already !


3-Iron is the movie that meant international success for it's director, Kim Ki-Duk, and, in some aspects of it, also poetic maturity.
3-Iron is a movie quite distant from the excesses and extremes for which Kim Ki-Duk is famous to the general public, it's, on the contrary, like a small poem about silence (which is, de facto, the third main character), about the difficulty to belong to the world and the very subtle relationship between one's interiority, portrayed in both poetic creativity and imagination, and outer reality.
The director himself stated in an old interview that one of the possible keys to read the movie (he refused to provide a definitive one, stating that his movies are shot to encourage free interpretation and not to vehicle a fixed, monolithic message) is the one of a double dream of the two main characters (a very interesting interview with Kim Ki-Duk about 3 Iron can be found in the link section at the end of the page).
I find that this is a very interesting clue about the ambivalent, open and bittersweet nature of 3-iron. The use of imagination in it is wonderful,sweet and dream-like, but also filled with sadness for a cruel and violent world and the incredible difficulty, often ending with failure, to find a proper place in it. Imagination and dreams are signs both of alienation and freedom, a way to live a more fruitful life but also a way to escape the difficulties and the shadow sides of it. Neither of these two aspects thriumps fully over the other, the movie's poetry stand exactly in the constant swing and balance between these two sides, and the sense of fullness and going beyond words and concepts that this movement provides. It also helps that the movie is for the greatest part silent, the relationship are conducted by glances, body language and deep empathy and understanding between the two main protagonists.
The movie lives on ambivalence. The main protagonist both carries in himself the desire, married with the goodness of heart, to live simply and with respect the life of the people in which houses (and lives) sneakes in for a brief period of time. The desire to both live more than one life, outside himself, and to disappear, to become invisible, like thin air.
At a certain point of the movie, we learn that he has a degree, so he hasn't been always an outcast. What did it lead him to this decision, to avoid commitment and to live like an eternal wanderer, a spirit ? To live briefly the life of others because one own has never been found or lost. We never know.
We have two ways to read this, and are both correct: on one hand, sensibility, creativity, freedom. On the other hand, difficulty to live, isolation, deep solitude. Only a similar person can relate to this.
So the metaphor of the double dream again pops up in it's ambivalency: a relationship very deep and beyond words, an immediate understanding, but also the product of two very hurt and very lonely people and their solitude.
3-Iron put a strong accent in the dialogue and co-existence of contrasts and the harsh side of life: the relationship and the vision of outside world often appears mediated by violence, both of the others (the abusing husband, the corrupted policeman) and of one's inner drives and impulses (the habit to play golf with the ball tied of the main protagonist, a way to discharge and live his own rage and desire to aggression, which, not by chance, the girl tries to mediate or the overall neuroticism and coldness that prevails in the families that live in the houses that the two visit).
The dimension of inner violence is not without consequences, and the sequence in which a girl is hurt by the escaping golf ball tells us so. While violent and difficult, the world is not completely chaotic, there is a resonance of one's inner world in outside reality and vice-versa in a very complicated tangle.
Another Kim Ki-Duk's recurring theme (told in much less extreme and graphical tones in comparison to other works) can be found in the how society's institutions are portrayed, they are merciless and imprisoning, a vehicle of isolation that increment the ultimate desire of the main protagonist to disappear completely, mastering the art of outer invisibility, moving with shadows, not seen by anyone that he doesn't desire.
Love is the life-giving and transformative element of the movie. In 3-iron, love borns out of silence and it means completeness (the two lovers end in weighting zero together on the scales for this reason, symbolizing what has been written above about ambivalency and co-existence of opposites). Love makes the two to go beyond the suffering but not to deny or cancel it, since is suffering that made the encounter possible in the beginning and still the girl lives with the abusing husband, who is portrayed with simplicity and compassion in all his frailty and the nothingness of a life devoted to the illusion of exterior success and false image of social happiness and integration.
3-Iron puts the most of it's emphasis on the "empty" elements: silence, the nearly complete absence of a soundtrack, with the exception of a single composition that has the function of a trait d'union between the different travels and places, the great spaces and, in the end, the definitive coming together on a unique plane of imagination and reality. It all brings towards a radical doubt about what we can really say or abstractly know about reality itself, but that is a doubt that doesn't end up in nihilism. On the contrary, it brings to creativity, because that impossibility to fully know becomes a new relation with reality and not a simple absence of something (the two lovers weighting zero together on the scales is a wonderful symbol for it), it's a symbol and not an abyss to explore.
In the end, a great movie that dwells the land of poetry.


Many people fail to realize that there is a very important connection between brain function and diet. In fact, eating poorly consistently can lead to inflammation in the brain, as well as fail to fuel it properly. Your brain needs MCTs and healthy fasts- replace processed foods with natural ones.
Just as important as eating right is exercising. Exercise releases an important protein known as BDNF, which is critical for neural health. Working out can also be challenging on a cognitive level and increases blood flow.
Trying doing two things at once, both of which require focus. Like performing the grapevine step while turning, spinning one arm one direction and spinning the other arm the other direction, you can also play brain games, go out of your comfort zone or try to learn something new.
Finally, if the above don't help, try mnemonic devices!

El Niño Fading as Heart of Hurricane Season Approaches
WUFT 89.1 | By Megan Borowski
Published July 17, 2019 at 1:09 PM EDT
The heart of hurricane season is approaching, and the atmosphere is signaling that the Atlantic Basin could soon become more active.
No development is expected over the next week to ten days. However, later this summer and fall, global-scale climate factors are changing. And this could make conditions more favorable for tropical storm or hurricane development.
Forecasters examine many features when forecasting for the tropics. They include: wind shear, water temperatures, atmospheric dust concentrations, moisture in the air, and global atmospheric circulations.
El Ni ño Fading
Cooler sea surface temperature anomalies in the Pacific, especially toward the eastern Pacific, have signaled that the El Niño is weakening. According to the Climate Prediction Center, model guidance suggests this trend will continue and El Niño could be in a neutral state as early as mid-August.
Typically, an El Niño in the eastern Pacific causes an increase in vertical wind shear in the western Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. The shear serves as an atmospheric "shredder" and keeps thunderstorm development unorganized, making it harder for hurricanes to form.
As the El Niño weakens, the vertical wind shear may also decrease. This makes it more likely for thunderstorms to organize into tropical storms or hurricanes.
In order for a hurricane to organize, clusters of showers and thunderstorms must first be able to develop, and this is often called convection. The extent of these thunderstorms can be greatly impacted by the intensity of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL). The SAL is a mid-atmosphere of dusty air originating in Africa that blows west over the Atlantic Ocean. If the SAL is deep and expansive, it can impede convection. A thinner and less dense layer can have less of an impact on thunderstorm development.
Current forecast data suggests that areas of dense SAL layers will move across the Atlantic in the coming days, suggesting that convection may be limited at times.
Water Temperatures Vary
Convection necessary for hurricane development is not solely limited by the presence of dust : Warm sea surface temperatures (SST) must be present to facilitate upward motion and transfer of energy into the atmosphere. As a general rule, SSTs must be 80°F or higher to support thunderstorm organization and tropical cyclone intensification.
As of Tuesday, SSTs were in the middle 80s across the western Atlantic, but only in the upper 70s to the east (closer to Africa) in the area known as the Main Development Region (MDR). The MDR is where the majority of tropical cyclone activity develops during the months of August and September of a traditional hurricane season.
Current projections from the climate models suggest the cooler waters in the deep tropics will warm to near or above average levels in the coming weeks. The warmer trend is common this time of year, but confidence on the degree to which it may occur has been low.
State of the Season Summary
The above data, in aggregate, indicate tropical activity may become more prominent in August. Climatology itself argues for more tropical storm and hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin between August and October. The global signals mentioned above lend further credence to an uptick in activity during the typical peak months of the season. Just how active the peak months will be relative to normal will depend on factors that are difficult to predict more than a few weeks in advance.
Meteorologist Ray Hawthorne contributed to this report.
Meteorologists from the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network will publish an update on the state of the hurricane season on or around the beginning and middle of each month, or about every two weeks. This will include scientific explanations on current oceanic and atmospheric conditions, and how they may (or may not) play a role in the forecast for tropical cyclone activity over the subsequent two weeks. These stories are not meant to replace any forecasts for ongoing tropical activity or potential hazardous weather that may affect Florida in the near future.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Addyi (flibanserin) for the treatment of acquired generalised hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women.
The approval means flibanserin is the first drug to be FDA-approved for the treatment of sexual desire disorders in men or women.
HSDD is characterised by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is not due to a co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, problems within the relationship or the effects of a medication or other drug substance. HSDD is acquired when it develops in a patient who previously had no problems with sexual desire. HSDD is generalised when it occurs regardless of the type of sexual activity, the situation or the sexual partner.
However, the approval came with a number of warnings. Flibanserin can cause severely low blood pressure (hypotension) and loss of consciousness (syncope). These risks are increased and more severe when patients drink alcohol or take flibanserin with medicines that interfere with the breakdown of Addyi in the body (known as moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors). Due to the alcohol interaction, the use of alcohol is contraindicated while taking flibanserin. Healthcare professionals must assess the likelihood of the patient reliably abstaining from alcohol before prescribing flibanserin.
"[This] approval provides women distressed by their low sexual desire with an approved treatment option," said Janet Woodcock, MD, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). "The FDA strives to protect and advance the health of women, and we are committed to supporting the development of safe and effective treatments for female sexual dysfunction.
The effectiveness of the 100mg bedtime dose of flibanserin was evaluated in three 24-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in about 2,400 premenopausal women with acquired, generalised HSDD. The average age of the trial participants was 36 years, with an average duration of HSDD of about 5 years.
In these trials, women counted the number of satisfying sexual events, reported sexual desire over the preceding four weeks (scored on a range of 1.2 to 6.0) and reported distress related to low sexual desire (on a range of 0 to 4). On average, treatment with flibanserin increased the number of satisfying sexual events by 0.5 to one additional event per month over placebo, increased the sexual desire score by 0.3 to 0.4 over placebo, and decreased the distress score related to sexual desire by 0.3 to 0.4 over placebo.
Additional analyses explored whether the improvements with flibanserin were meaningful to patients, taking into account the effects of treatment seen among those patients who reported feeling much improved or very much improved overall. Across the three trials, about 10% more flibanserin-treated patients than placebo-treated patients reported meaningful improvements in satisfying sexual events, sexual desire or distress. Flibanserin has not been shown to enhance sexual performance.
The 100mg bedtime dose of Addyi has been administered to about 3,000 generally healthy premenopausal women with acquired, generalised HSDD in clinical trials, of whom about 1,700 received treatment for at least 6 months and 850 received treatment for at least 1 year.

King John's 1205 Charter
Submitted by Carolyn Vega on Thu, 10/13/2011 - 2:41pm
King John, oh King John. Best remembered for signing the Magna Carta (after being forced by his barons to do so), losing most of England's territory on the continent (in a war triggered partially by his marriage to Isabelle of Angoulême), and trying to seize the crown from his elder brother Richard the Lionheart (while Richard was being held captive by Duke Leopold of Austria), John's life and sixteen-year reign was violent and unpopular. The 13th-century chronicler Matthew Paris went so far as to declare "Hell is too good for a horrible person like him," although this general view has been somewhat tempered in the intervening 800 years. In 1207, John was excommunicated by the Pope after fighting about who should be Archbishop of Canterbury, and all of England was placed under a church interdict "permitting no ecclesiastical office save the baptism of infants and the confession of the dying." But two years before his fallout with Innocent III, John was apparently on somewhat better terms with the Church.
This document, dated 5 March 1205, is a charter that conferred land holdings or privileges on the abbey and monks at Selby. It is written on a piece of vellum in a gothic script, and it is difficult to read -- not only because the style of handwriting is unfamiliar, but also because of the method of abbreviating words that is peculiar to medieval Latin. In the extract below, the almost tilde-shaped macrons above words indicate that letters are missing. For instance, the first five words can be expanded to Johns dei gratia Rex Angliae. And in the third line, you can see where they Abbey and monks of Selby are mentioned. Notice the character that looks like a crossed "7" -- this is an ancient shorthand symbol for "et," which is now represented with an ampersand.
John signed the charter ".J. Reg" on the verso, along with a note that I cannot decipher. Notice how the quality of his penmanship varies from that of the trained scribe above. His signature seems almost to quaver, and not only does he fail to form the individual letters with the precision that is present in the formal gothic script, but the ink fades out towards the end of each line. I am curious about John's added note -- can you help us decipher it?

NISRA Covid figures record 14 more deaths
Figures are up on previous two weeks

Northern Ireland has suffered more than 2,900 'Covid-19 related deaths', figures released today show.
Friday's Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency bulletin has recorded a further 14 deaths linked to the pandemic in the week April 3-9. That figure is up from 10 last week and 13 the week before.
And the Agency says that the total number of deaths now stands at 2,936. The total deaths figure released by the Department of Health, which only records the deaths of people who have tested positive for the virus, stands at 2,127. The NISRA figures are 'based on the information entered on death certificates completed by medical professionals'.
The Agency says that of the 2,936 Covid-19 related deaths, 1,934 (65.9%) took place in hospital, 772 (26.3%) in care homes, 14 (0.5%) in hospices and 216 (7.4%) at 'residential addresses or other locations'. They said the figures 'may be impacted by registration office closures over the Easter bank holiday'.
NISRA adds: "Further analysis, which includes deaths of care home residents in hospital, shows that of the 1,008 deaths of care home residents involving Covid-19 which occurred between 18th March 2020 and 9th April 2021, 76.6% (772) occurred in a care home, with the remaining 236 occurring in hospital. On this basis, deaths of care home residents account for 34.3% of all Covid-19 related deaths; however, no assumptions can be made in relation to where or when the deceased contracted the disease.

"Separate analyses, based on the date of death registration, shows that the provisional number of total deaths from all causes registered in Northern Ireland in the week ending 9th April 2021 (week 14, 2021) was 245, 43 less than in week 13 and 92 less than the 5-year average (2016-2020) of 337. The total deaths in the week ending 9th April was also 50 less than the corresponding week 5-year minimum of 295.
"Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate of 9 (3.7%) of the 245 deaths registered in week 14, a decrease of 3 from the previous week. The total number of Covid-19 related deaths registered to 9th April 2021 has now reached 2,926."
The difference between this figure and the one above has been explained previously by NISRA as being due to delays in processing paperwork.
NISRA added: "Persons aged 75 and over accounted for 76.2% of the 2,926 Covid‑19 related deaths registered between 19th March 2020 and 9th April 2021. Over the period of the pandemic, Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon and Mid-Ulster Local Government Districts have had higher proportions of Covid-19 related deaths (12.1% and 8.2% respectively) compared with their share of all deaths in Northern Ireland (10.4% and 6.5% respectively).
"Conversely, Ards & North Down and Fermanagh & Omagh both have relatively low shares of registered Covid-19 related deaths when compared to the proportion of Northern Ireland deaths registered in those areas (2.4 and 2.5 percentage points respectively lower than their share of all deaths)."

Announcement, Lockout Rant, Tbirds Hockey
Hey look... I have something to write about so why not have a Menage a Trois of posts on a Friday? We'll get three topics together all at the same time
First, I have a bit of a minor announcement to make. Recently, my good friend John Barr started a blog that provided updates on the possibility of a new downtown sports arena and subsequently the possibility of an NHL team coming to Seattle. John and I have decided to collaborate on this new project that I think most Seattle area hockey fans will have interest in - nhltoseattle.com You can (and should) also like our page on Facebook right here.
For now, John will still handle most, if not all of the posting over at the new website because he is well versed on the issues surrounding getting an NHL team to the Seattle area. John will continue with his relocation updates and I will eventually transition into the team recap/analysis writer in the event that we should be able to score an NHL team. Do me a favor and give the website a look, John does an amazing job and I hope to contribute to that in the near future. This doesn't mean any changes for Let's Go Birds and we still don't have any clear indication on when or if Seattle will receive an NHL team.
Second. While we are on the subject... allow me to rant a little bit about the NHL Lockout (this is something I may post over at the new website as well).
I join with most hockey fans in being utterly and totally annoyed (possibly disgusted) at the idea of another lockout and a lost season. Billionaires fighting with Millionaires is the tag line often mentioned and it's true. It seems as though most fans believe that the owners are being unfair and the players are getting a raw deal in this recent round of negotiations. I would tend to agree with that. When the players were locked out in 2004 and eventually came to an agreement in 2005 after the cancellation of an entire season, it was widely perceived that the owners "won" and the players conceded a lot. In light of this, the owners have now come back 7 years later, after record revenue growth, and demanded that salaries be rolled back further and that the players should make more concessions.
The players are getting shafted, plain and simple. Owners aren't being fair to ask for so much more after getting so much 7 years ago and enjoying the bounties that the past 7 years have provided.
However. Answer me this.... Exactly what leverage do the players have?? The answer (imo) of course is none or at least very little.
The situation hinges on this - too many owners simply have no reason to run games.
James Mirtle of the Toronto Globe and Mail wrote an eloquent article back in July that illustrates perfectly the reason why many NHL teams aren't generating revenues large enough to cover expenses. If you lose money every time you open the doors to the arena to play a game... well... you aren't very eager to play games.
As Mirtle points out, the owners believe they'll have an easier time extracting 200-300 million out of the players before they can extract that out of the richest franchises in the form of revenue sharing.
So if most owners don't have an incentive to play games.... what leverage do the players have? They can be united all they want but most ownership groups aren't being hurt by shutting their doors.
If the players were smart... they would accept the salary roll-backs while insisting that the league institute better revenue sharing or other ways in which the bottom 70% of the franchises have a better chance to succeed and turn profits (or break even).
Unfortunately, until the players realize that they really don't have solid ground to stand on (beyond the moral ground) the lockout will likely continue.
Third. Thank whatever God you believe in that we still have Junior Hockey! The Thunderbirds hit the ice tonight in Kamloops looking to continue their momentum after their stunning late game heroics up in Prince George last weekend. I'm going to have the game on tonight but I may not be able to watch a ton of it. I'll try to post as many thoughts as I can.
The Riley Sheen for Jacob Doty trade sure is working out well. I suspected at the time that this trade would work out quite well for Seattle and so far things are looking pretty good. Sheen has 4 points in 4 games.
Also, Jarret Smith has been a revelation (at least on paper) so far as he has 3 assists with a +2 rating through 4 games.
I'll have some actual relevant thoughts after I see a game or two.
I'm personally taking a wait and see approach on the NHL coming to Seattle. Honestly, it's tough to get fired up about a possible move with the first two weeks of the season cancelled. I wouldn't be suprised to see another entire NHL season lost. I hope I'm wrong but it's not looking good.
What's your take on the possible impact on the 'Birds should an NHL team land here? At the very least I think we'd see some of the season ticket folks and their money migrating to a new team. You have to figure though it'd be yet another selling point for getting quality players in the door beyond everything else that Seattle/Kent has to offer.
Tonight's going to be a big test for Smith, and all the D really. Kamloops is stacked. I had some serious reservations about the Deagle move. So far though, with the exception of some bad decision making by Wardley, I'm impressed with what I've seen. Last year, and the year before, we'd set let downs in effort for entire periods of hockey. So far the boys this year have it down to 3-5 minute stretches. Lets hope that continues to improve.
The one thing the lockout does do is bring more NHL scouts into the arena. We were sitting in the high seats of the lower level at Key arena during the last strike and we always saw scouts, sometimes 3-4 per game where we didn't see near as many in the non strike season. If some of the Birds are interested in an NHL career, now is the time.
The NHL was making great strides in growing the game and the league, and now the strike. Bad timing for a league that runs number 4 behind the other three professional sports leagues and is behind college football and basketball in some respects as well at least in the US.As for the birds game last night, great game till the 15 minute mark of the 3rd, still not putting together a complete game. WHere was Trook?
Lockhart, a 20 year old, is already -7.
Elliot has 0 pts.
In my opinion, veterans need to pick up their game.

Lzinios.lt interview with political commenter Imantas Melianas.
Recent revolutionary events in Armenia gained many praises from the West. In Lithuania too hopeful voices could be heard that this country would turn to a path of changes and could escape from Russian influence. However, according to political commenter Imantas Melianas, who has been researching Caucasus for many years, we often assess situation in South Caucasus not based on facts, but through myths, which often come from Kremlin.
-Why it is so hard to formulate this position?
-Because we often do not understand what happens in the region. Even the recent so called Armenian revolution – many politicians, diplomats and commenters cannot understand it very well. As in the past, we assess region's countries by following stereotypes that some regimes are good and some are bad.
-Nikolas Pashinian and his supporters are congratulated with victory and some imagine that it was an inevitable triumph of democracy. But who actually won, who lost and how will Armenia change?
-It is too early to talk about real changes. I would not even call that event a revolution, it was more like a pseudo-maidan. Something was happening in Armenia for some time, but in the end nothing happened. How was it different from Ukraine's 'Dignity revolution' or Sakartvelo's 'Rose revolution'? In those countries revolutions brought cardinal changes in politics and completely changed international orientation. Of course, the main change was that Sakartvelo and Ukraine turned their backs to Russia and moved towards the West.
Nothing like that happened in Armenia. All informational space, defense and economy of Armenia are still 'synced' to Russia. Many Armenians, especially those living in the West, sincerely want their country to be in European family of countries, but it would mean inevitable goodbye to Russia. Why it does not happen? Because Armenia is locked to Russia with a chain called Karabakh.
-Karabakh conflict is not the only one such conflict. Why it chained Armenians to Russia?
-In the eve of USSR collapse, so-called Karaganov doctrine was formulated in Russia, following which ethnic conflicts were caused in independence-seeking republics, in territories where Russians or other national minorities lived. With Moscow's blessing, still unsolved conflicts rose in Transnistria and Sakartvelo, but the first experiment was carried out on Armenians.
Everything started in the seventies of the last century, when the issue of recognition of so called Armenian genocide was raised. By the way, the first country which suddenly started 'caring' very much about it was Uruguay, which later gladly recognized 'statehood' of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Meanwhile in Armenia genocide issue became a cult, worshiped if not from kindergarten then from first grade. Armenians were nurtured in an atmosphere of hatred to everything Turkic, mass publishing of pseudo-historic literature started praising idea that at least a third of Turkey's territory is Armenian ethnic land. Territorial pretenses were also encouraged towards Sakartvelo and Azerbaijan.
During the collapse of Soviet Union, process started in Armenia that we could not even imagine happening in, for example, Vilnius. Planes from Beirut, carrying military equipment, weapons and Armenian ASALA fighters, landed in Yerevan. Soviet army and KGB calmly observed it, and that shows that Krakabk project, if not conceived in Moscow, that for sure carried out with her blessing.
Crimean and Donbas aggression are events of the same chain, and new conflict points are waiting for their turn in Narva, Daugavpils and even in Klaipeda. The parade is led by Vladislav Surkov, who in the environment of Vladimir Putin almost became a shadow minister 'on issues of disintegrating neighbor countries'. I do not think that recent Armenian events could have been handled without him.
-In Lithuania, Karabakh conflict is often perceived as different than the ones in Abkhazia or Donbas.
-Strangely, many people in Lithuania, who are not pro-Russian and sincerely worry about Ukraine and Crimea, somehow completely differently assess what happened in Karabakh. They often ignore the fact that conflict had the same attributes as the others, but 'everything is not like that' in Karabakh, Moscow 'has nothing to do with it' and conflict rose because of hot blooded Caucasians' inability to control themselves. Allegedly for hundreds of years they have been fighting among themselves and we should better not intervene. Sadly, such approach is wide spread not only among common people, but also on the professional level, as showed by several years old scandal of a conversation between Lithuanian diplomats.
-Would approach to Karabakh change after Pashinian won in Yerevan? Would Armenia want to regulate the conflict?
-I think that this could not happen now or in the near future. For several decades Armenian nation has been raised with a paradigm that neighbors are hostile to them and in their debt for ever, and it has stuck very deep in their heads. Not even those Armenians, who dream about Western future of their country, had overstep it.
Russian democrats openly declare that Russia must withdraw from occupied territories. During the whole month of unrests in Armenia, nothing similar was said about occupied territories of Azerbaijan. Even without raiding Karabakh issue, it is impossible to talk about Armenia's escape from Russian influence, because these issues are directly and inseparably tied.
Even those Armenian intellectuals, who think their country has to withdraw from occupied territories, do not dare to talk about it openly. They cannot talk about turning away from Russia either – there were no such talks during so called revolution too. On the contrary, Pashinian and his supporters, after coming to power, thanked Russia for 'understanding' attitude to events in Armenia.
Really wishing to believe in democratic revolution, many commenters ignored facts showing that the only change in Armenia was that Karabakh clan had to give up its position to Yerevan clan.
Kremlin's role in the 'revolution' very possible. This way caught in euphoria Armenian society was cheated by creating an illusion of people's revolution and many observers in the West believed it too. However nothing is changing and Kremlin only wins from the fact that Armenians 'released the steam' in a controlled process.


Someone told me the other day that if you mix expired diet softdrinks with alcohol they can react and produce a toxin (other than the obvious presence of alcohol), which I am quite skeptical of. Is this true?
The two mixed together makes you drunk faster.
Is that 'excellent' as in "excellent (said like Mr. Burns), I'll try that"?
Or "excellent! I just learned a new party trick"?
Does alcohol consumption make you less able to make rational decisions?
Could alcohol patches work for alcoholics as nicotine patches do for smokers?
Can Alcohol or Alkenes react with Benzene to form Alkyl benzene?

Article Contributed by Effective Imme… | Published on Tuesday, February 7, 2017
Brooklyn based indie artist & Matisyahu protege, Zeke Finn, shares his latest track, "Unicorn" from his upcoming self-titled EP. Baeble premiered the single, stating, "(it) sounds like a unicorn, if unicorns made musical sounds... And we know that sounds weird, but once you get a taste of the beat-centric electronics, magical synths, and dreamy melodies, you'll understand." "Unicorn" marks Zeke's first steps on his wanderlust, whimsical pop journey. The track is uplifting and dynamic, exploring the magic of comforting someone. Check out the full piece on Baeble here!
Raised in Ithaca, NY to beat artist parents, Zeke Finn grew up surrounded by open spaces and music. But when Finn discovered beatboxing in high school, he quickly became addicted to hip hop; it was then that Finn began to merge his love for hippie jam sessions with his passion for writing raw, heartfelt rap. He's been hard at work since, collaborating and rapping with reggae/rap star Matisyahu, playing sold out shows at the Bowery Electric, Highline Ballroom, and Le Poisson Rouge and recording his upcoming 4-track EP. With engineering helmed by Stu Brooks (50 Cent, Lady Gaga, Dub Trio), the collection is a sprawling listen, covering ground in hip-hop, pop, ambient, reggae, and jam. Backed by blistering production and bright sounds, his newest release is a mix of deep introspective songs focused on place and identity. With a new video on the way featuring his mentor, Matisyahu, and more captivating music in store, Zeke Finn's "Unicorn" is just the beginning.

Lunch with Gil Friend: Getting the Prices Right
On his arrival in England in 1930, Mahatma Gandhi was reportedly asked, "What do you think of Western civilization?" His pithy though perhaps apocryphal response: "I think it would be a very good idea." We might say the same about capitalism. The free market, of course, isn't free. It is hopelessly distorted by unpriced "externalities," special interest subsidies, and accounting systems that don't count a lot of things that really matter. Join us for a provocative discussion with an international sustainability thought leader about how to accurately account for sustainability, and how business can reduce risk and increase profitability by valuing people and planet in their financial strategies and management systems.
Gil Friend is founder, chair, and until December 2013 CEO of Natural Logic Inc, helping companies design, implement and measure profitable sustainability strategies. He is widely considered one of the founders of the sustainability movement, and was named an inaugural member of the Sustainability Hall of Fame (along with Ray Anderson, Amory Lovins, Karl-Henrik Robert and Bob Willard) by the International Society of Sustainability Professionals, acknowledging "those people that have contributed the most to the emerging field of sustainability," and "one of the 10 most influential sustainability voices in America" by The Guardian.

What is the purpose of a Bible commentary?
Through a personal narrative, Bible commentaries provide deeper understanding and insight into the Bible and can be used to assist both casual readers of the Bible and those who pursue serious study. Bible commentaries are typically organized passage by passage (book, chapter, and verse) through the Bible.
1. What are the two main categories of commentaries?
1.1. What is the oldest Bible commentary?
2. Should I use a Bible commentary?
2.1. How do I choose the right Bible?
3. What is a religious commentary?
3.1. What does exegesis mean in the Bible?
4. What does a commentary include?
5. What should you avoid using in your commentary?
What are the two main categories of commentaries?
Types of Commentaries – Expositional or Essential or Semi-Technical: Includes less technical, but still extensive discussion. Does not rely on readers' understanding of original languages but may refer to original languages. Homiletical: Intended to aid in sermon preparation.
What is the oldest Bible commentary?
The earliest known commentary on Christian scriptures was by a Gnostic named Heracleon in the 170s CE. Most of the patristic commentaries are in the form of homilies, or discourses to the faithful, and range over the whole of Scripture.
Should I use a Bible commentary?
Should You Use A Bible Commentary? Everyone is different but in short, the answer is no at least, not at first. Give yourself a chance to get to read the text and get to know it. Read it over and over and over and over you get the idea.
How do I choose the right Bible?
CHECK OUT DIFFERENT STUDY BIBLE FEATURES – Find a study Bible that works best for you. Different study Bibles come with their own book introductions, verse-by-verse charts, maps, timelines, references, and concordance. Commentary in each of these will be slightly different although they should not contradict each other.
What is a religious commentary?
A Bible commentary explains or interprets the Bible or a specific book of the Bible.
What does exegesis mean in the Bible?
The definition of exegesis is the critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially of scripture. Put simply, it is the process of discovering the original and intended meaning of a passage of scripture.
What does a commentary include?
A commentary is an analysis of the given passage, its function and its characteristics. It should examine the key themes and stylistic devices of the passage, showing how the language works to convey (or at times undermine) its content.
What should you avoid using in your commentary?
Even when giving commentary in the form of an opinion, avoid using subjective phrases like "I hope," "I believe," and "I think." These are just throwaway phrases. They are redundant (you wrote the essay, so it is obvious you think, believe, or hope what is written), and they reduce your credibility.

I've got junk scattered all over the friggin place so I'm kicking the idea around of beginning to 'lighten my load' and starting with my LS1 T56. I bought this off a friend a few years ago and it's just been sitting on a shelf gathering dust. I figure WTH since I'm not going to use it in my build. When I bought the trans it worked fine with the exception of 3rd gear. It shifts ok but really needs the 3rd gear synchro replaced. It's just the transmission and I'm looking for $1,500; if I'm not mistake this is the core charge the big guys charge if they still even offer the core option.
If the buyer would like, I can have the synchro replaced at a local shop that I trust (and have done a lot of business with over the years), for the cost of the repair. If anyone has questions, JLMK.

The Sri Caitanya Sanskrit Tol is now open. This is an experiment in alternative education. The course of study will take approximately eight years, after which successful students will be granted the title of Bhaktisastri (equivalent to a Bachelor of Arts). There are three stages in the course of study. The first or introductory level (prathama) lasts three years and is the stage in which one will begin the study of the Sanskrit language through the grammar of Jiva Goswami, develop a Sanskrit vocabulary by study of the Amara-kosa, master the basics of Indic philosophy (Vedanta and Nyaya), be introduced to literary criticism and literature, begin reading the great Sanskrit Epics and Purana (primarily the Ramayana on this level), study some of the Vaisnava rites and practices through the Hari-bhakti-vilasa, explore the foundations of Vaisnava theology and philosophy through the introductory texts of Sri Jiva, Baladeva and Visvanatha and, in the interest of becoming well rounded citizens of the world, begin study of some of the world's other great classical works of literature, religion, and philosophy (the so-called Great Books).
The intermediary stage (madhyama), also lasting three years, will involve the continued study of the Sanskrit language and the study of more advanced and difficult works in all of the areas mentioned above. Students in this stage will study intermediate texts in Vedanta and Nyaya and also take up the Sankhya and Yoga schools. Parts of the Mahabharata will be undertaken in this stage with special focus on the Bhagavad-gita and its commentaries. More of the classic texts of the Western tradition and some from the Chinese-Japanese tradition will be studied as well.
The final stage (two years) will focus on advanced texts of the Vaisnava tradition such as the Sandarbha of Sri Jiva, the Bhagavata with commentaries, the plays and poetry of Rupa, Kavi Karnapura, Krsnadas Kaviraja, and Sri Jiva, and the Vedanta-sutra with commentaries.
Students who complete the course will have studied many of the most influential works of the Caitanya tradition and will be equiped to continue their exploration of the Sanskrit works of the Caitanya tradition and of other great Indic traditions on their own. The program is designed to produce a generation of well grounded, thoughtful scholars and theologians of the rich and complex literary and philosophical traditions of India with special focus on the Caitanya tradition. There are abbreviated programs for those who already have degrees from college or graduate work, as well. Prospective students should inquire about them in their letters of application.
The Caitanya Sanskrit Tol is located in the small, quiet town of Kirksville, Missouri. Students who apply and are accepted into the Tol will be expected to come and live in Kirksville for the duration of their studies. The school year is divided into three semesters (four months each, January-April, May-August, September-December) with a two week break at the end of each (that is, the last two weeks of each trimester there are no studies). Classes will be held for a minimum of three hours each day, six days a week, and students will be expected to spend an additional 3 to 4 hours a day studying on their own or with other students outside of class. The rest of the student's time is his or her own. Since classes sizes will be kept small, students will get lots of personal attention from the instructors.
The fees are currently set at $1000 for each trimester ($3000 per school year), paid partially in advance (50%) two weeks before each semester. This does not include room and board. Those are to be taken care of by the students themselves. Since Kirksville is the home of Truman State University and the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, there is plenty of inexpensive student housing. There are also plenty of employment opportunities around Kirksville for students. At present there are no scholarships available, but perhaps those will become available in the future. Some reduction in fees can be worked out for students on the basis of their willingness to work at the Tol or in its publication wing.
Acceptance into a higher stage is contingent on passing the prior stages with high marks. Examinations will be given at the end of each semester over the materials studied during that semester and a final at the end of the school year (December) covering work done during the year. Students will receive certificates of achievement and recognition for each level in the program successfully completed. Students who complete all three level will be granted the degree of Bhaktisastri by the faculty of the Caitanya Sanskrit Tol. In the future advanced degrees (Acarya and Vidyavaradhi) will be offered by the Tol for the training of teachers of the Caitanya tradition. All current instructors hold doctoral degrees from accredited universities in areas related to the study of Sanskrit, Vaisnavism, and Indic philosophy and religion.
If you are interested in being among the first to study at the Caitanya Sanskrit Tol, send a letter of interest to admissions, with information about your prior education, your current level of knowledge of Sanskrit, and your specific interests in the program.
Here is a tentative curriculum for the first year.
