Rethinking Christian Marriage

Most people I know have an intuitive sense that men and women are equally capable and that in the best marriages they work together as a team. Yet many of these same individuals assume that it is God’s plan for the man to be in charge, based on the fact that the Bible commands wives to submit to husbands in a way that it does not require of husbands.

They believe it was God who established this patriarchal, hierarchical system of marriage.

I don’t fault my friends, though, since I thought the same thing for a very long time. I thought it, I taught it, I lived it. I wouldn’t have couched it in precisely those terms, but I was convinced that the Bible gave men the authority in marriage.

What hadn’t occurred to me was how the Bible’s instructions on marriage compare to the ones about government and employment, how we understand and apply those commands, and how that ought to instruct the way we understand the marriage teachings.

It was time for me to rethink Christian marriage.

Production Diary #4: It’s Been a Whirlwind

Monday, August 25th, 2014

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks of finishing production.  I’m excited to touch base and share an update!

We wrapped up in Mammoth in early July with a night shoot.  There we are burning the midnight oil!  Gregory and I are looking at the monitor in the bottom left corner of the frame.

We had a swell wrap party with the cast, the crew and several Mammoth supporters join us doing karaoke, dancing and letting off steam.  Here we are!

Before we left town we got a few “beauty shots” in and around Mammoth and Mono County.  There’s lots of beauty, so it wasn’t too hard to find stuff to shoot!  (I’m in red in the middle of the frame with the hat!)

More soon as we put it all together!!

The protagonists in my book, WHO'S KILLING ALL THE LAWYERS? are based on a couple of Special Operations Executive (SOE) agents I met during the cold war in Vienna, Austria, a few months after the end of World War II. My unit had moved from Italy into Austria to augment other units searching for fugitive Nazi’s mingling as Austrians citizens.

Several of us were trained by army intelligence to not only seek runaways, but to fraternize with the general population and gather information for counter intelligence. Not speaking the language was no problem, and my cover was easy. A British soldier, in Vienna, alongside allied Americans, Russians, and French. My unnamed couple taught us a few essentials along with the basics of this most dangerous game of all.

Years later, I reincarnated the two in my head, with all their, yes, real baggage from the past, and they have stayed there ever since. I renamed them Susan Koski and Joseph Falk, and now they work for Cerberus, a black-ops group so secret it is known only to me and my readers.

Please join me in this unique world of memories, excitement and imaginations in WHO’S KILLING ALL THE LAWYERS? as Koski and Falk meet for the first time in a political intrigue involving Nevada State officials, Mafia dons, and Native Americans, all seeking the elusive American dream by building gambling casinos on sovereign land.

The story begins with the mysterious death of a lawyer representing Nevada gambling cartels against the growth of Indian casinos in Nevada and California, and rapidly becomes a political football when lawyer after lawyer are killed by arrows. Agent Joseph Falk, undercover is as an agent for the FBI, is assigned to investigate...and nothing he does seems to work. Convinced he has been purposely assigned a team of useless dillatants, one in particular, Susan Koski, a blonde in her late twenties and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) forensic videographer, proved particularly irritating. It was her sea green eyes, he quickly decided, the sort in which ships were wrecked. Laterally transferred from the Las Vegas Police Department to BLM under less than transparent conditions, their meetings proved the beginning of a team akin to Holmes and Watson, with it's own unique Bonnie and Clyde ambiance.

With political end-runs galore, the true villain remains unknown until faced in the end by Koski and Falk. The final chase across a mountain lake, with Koski and Falk astride a jet ski while dueling with a low flying helicopter ends what I believe you will find a thrilling read from beginning to end.

Item Summary

Title:Defining a Critically Regional Campus Identity for UH Manoa
Authors:Manuia, John
Contributors:Sarvimaeki, Marja (advisor)
Architecture (department)
Date Issued:May 2013
Abstract:The University of Hawai’i at Mãnoa campus is a place of undefined institutional identity in its built environment. Its physical context, which has developed for over a century, has experienced significant transformation in its architectural content, landscape features, and experiential quality. Changes in its social, political, economic, and cultural context influenced expansion of the University’s programs and campus setting. Also influential were trends in university design and planning practice, architectural trends in Hawai’i and significant historical events. The experiential nature of the campus environment transformed, as rapid development altered the campus’ spatial qualities, functionality, comfort, aesthetic attributes, and cultural content. The university’s upkeep and maintenance practices of campus facilities and landscape, to the present day, especially impacted people’s perception of the place and the institution’s values towards cultivating its academic community. This investigation involved an analysis of these aspects to understand the contextual framework of the University of Hawai’i at Mãnoa campus. A qualitative study of user perceptions of the place further clarified the nature of people’s experience of the institutional setting and defined key aspects significant to positively shaping its community. Based on these research findings, an assessment of the 2007 UH Mãnoa Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) was conducted to determine whether the defined key principles from the study apply to current physical development plans or can be used to improve upon the plan’s vision. The result of the study is a definition of key principles to enhance a sense of place at the University of Hawai’i at Mãnoa campus. A design exercise elaborates upon the applicability of the defined key principles to the campus setting.

 Development and Physicochemical Analysis of Ceramic Water Filters Ceramic water filters (CWFs) are promoted in developing nations by World Health Organisation (WHO) to improve water quality. In this study, CWFs were developed from raw materials such as cullet, limestone and clays. The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of cullet and limestone on the physicochemical properties of filtered water samples. Total numbers of eight CWFs were formulated with various percentages of cullet and limestone. Physical and chemical analyses were carried out on selected water samples including borehole (BH), well (WL), and pond (PD). Physicochemical parameters examined were pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), electrical conductivity, hardness, and turbidity. Results showed significant increase in the values of TDS and electrical conductivity after using developed CWFs. The values of TSS reduced while slight changes were observed in pH and hardness readings of filtrates. Most CWFs helped to reduce the turbidity content in filtered water samples.

In this work, the authors studied kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamic parameters of phosphorus adsorption on sediment samples taken inside the retaining of the Sidi Chahed dam near the upstream side of Oued Malleh. The results showed that the adsorption reaches equilibrium at 6 h of sediments contact with phosphorus solution. The amount of phosphorus adsorbed is important when the pH of the whole is equal to 12.3, while it is lower at pH values lower than 7.7. The results have indicated that the pseudo-second order model is the most appropriate for describing the kinetic data of adsorption, and that of 43.11 kJ.mol−1 value of the activation energy indicates the predominance of the chemical nature of the adsorption. With regard to equilibrium data, Freundlich isotherms are well applicable compared to those of Langmuir. The thermodynamic study has shown that phosphorus adsorption on sediments is endothermic (ΔH0=19.01 kJ mol−1); it increases with increasing temperature. The negative ΔG0 values (−1.05 at T=20 C°; −2.07 at T=35 C°; −2.76 kJ mol−1 at T=45 C°) showed that the phosphorus adsorption process on the sediments of the retaining of Sidi Chahed dam is spontaneous. However, the positive value of ΔS0 (68.47 J.K−1.mol−1) indicates the increase in sediment-solution interface disorder at the time of phosphorus fixation.

But, the study highlighted a quite low edema reducing potential of the compound and it alarmed us that this “lead” right away needs further optimization and more rational designing. To overcome the challenges imposed in front of us, we decided to add an active low-molecular-weight ligand ‘phenylhydrazine’ with a strong belief that the addition of this ligand may successfully augment the edema reducing activity. In the present research, a continued approach was taken into account for enhancing the activity of Schiff’s base containing 3,4-dioxymethylene based compound by substituting phenylhydrazine group. The phenylhydrazine containing compound was similarly screened for determining the edema reducing activity in Swiss albino rats, utilizing the carrageenan-induced paw edema protocol. The experimental molecule expressed remarkable anti-inflammatory activity in comparison to the positive control, indomethacin. The study has opened new doors of research and will positively draw the attention of the fellow active researchers across the globe with a strong conclusive message that by the simple addition of a low-molecular-weight fragment to the existing substrate(s), the biological activity can be amplified by several folds.

Can humans sense the Earth’s magnetism?

For migratory birds and sea turtles, the ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field is crucial to navigating the long-distance voyages these animals undertake during migration. Humans, however, are widely assumed not to have an innate magnetic sense. Research published in Nature Communications this week by faculty at the University of Massachusetts Medical School shows that a protein expressed in the human retina can sense magnetic fields when implanted into Drosophila, reopening an area of sensory biology in humans for further exploration.

In many migratory animals, the light-sensitive chemical reactions involving the flavoprotein cryptochrome (CRY) are thought to play an important role in the ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field. In the case of Drosophila, previous studies from the Reppert laboratory ( have shown that the cryptochrome protein found in these flies can function as a light-dependent magnetic sensor.

To test whether the human cryptochrome 2 protein (hCRY2) has a similar magnetic sensory ability, Steven Reppert, MD, the Higgins Family Professor of Neuroscience and chair and professor of neurobiology, graduate student Lauren Foley, and Robert Gegear, PhD, a post doctoral fellow in the Reppert lab now an assistant professor of biology and biotechnology at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, created a transgenic Drosophila model lacking its native cryptochrome protein but expressing hCRY2 instead. Using a behavioral system Reppert’s group previously developed, they showed that these transgenic flies were able to sense and respond to an electric-coil-generated magnetic field and do so in a light-dependent manner.

These findings demonstrate that hCRY2 has the molecular capability to function in a magnetic sensing system and may pave the way for further investigation into human magnetoreception. “Additional research on magneto sensitivity in humans at the behavioral level, with particular emphasis on the influence of magnetic field on visual function, rather than non-visual navigation, would be informative,” wrote Reppert and his colleagues in the study.

First study of Russian meteorite ‘wake up call for humanity’

The meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in February 2013 was “a wake-up call,” according to a University of California, Davis, scientist who participated in analyzing the event. The work is published Nov. 7 in the journal Science by an international team of researchers.

“If humanity does not want to go the way of the dinosaurs, we need to study an event like this in detail,” said Qing-zhu Yin, professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UC Davis.

Chelyabinsk was the largest meteoroid strike since the Tunguska event of 1908, and, thanks to modern technology from consumer video cameras to advanced laboratory techniques, provides an unprecedented opportunity to study such an event, the authors note.

The Chelyabinsk meteorite belongs to the most common type of meteorite, an “ordinary chondrite.” If a catastrophic meteorite strike were to occur in the future, it would most likely be an object of this type, Yin said.

The team was led by Olga Popova of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, and by NASA Ames and SETI Institute meteor astronomer Peter Jenniskens, and included 57 other researchers from nine countries.

“Our goal was to understand all circumstances that resulted in the damaging shock wave that sent over 1,200 people to hospitals in the Chelyabinsk Oblast area that day,” said Jenniskens. The explosion was equivalent to about 600 thousand tons of TNT, 150 times bigger than the 2012 Sutter’s Mill meteorite in California.

Based on viewing angles from videos of the fireball, the team calculated that the meteoroid entered Earth’s atmosphere at just over 19 kilometers per second, slightly faster than had previously been reported.

“Our meteoroid entry modeling showed that the impact was caused by a 20-meter sized single chunk of rock that efficiently fragmented at 30 km altitude,” Popova said. (A meteoroid is the original object; a meteor is the “shooting star” in the sky; and a meteorite is the object that reaches the ground.)

The meteor’s brightness peaked at an altitude of 29.7 km (18.5 miles) as the object exploded. For nearby observers it briefly appeared brighter than the sun and caused some severe sunburns.

The team estimated that about three-quarters of the meteoroid evaporated at that point. Most of the rest converted to dust and only a small fraction (4,000 to 6,000 kilograms, or less than 0.05 percent) fell to the ground as meteorites. The dust cloud was so hot it glowed orange.

The largest single piece, weighing about 650 kilograms, was recovered from the bed of Lake Chebarkul in October by a team from Ural Federal University led by Professor Viktor Grokhovsky.

Shockwaves from the airburst broke windows, rattled buildings and even knocked people from their feet. Popova and Jenniskens visited over 50 villages in the area and found that the shockwave caused damage about 90 kilometers (50 miles) on either side of the trajectory. The team showed that the shape of the damaged area could be explained from the fact that the energy was deposited over a range of altitudes.

The object broke up 30 kilometers up under the enormous stress of entering the atmosphere at high speed. The breakup was likely facilitated by abundant “shock veins” that pass through the rock, caused by an impact that occurred hundreds of millions of years ago. These veins would have weakened the original meteoroid.

Yin’s laboratory at UC Davis carried out chemical and isotopic analysis of the meteorites. Professor Ken Verosub, also of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, measured the magnetic properties of metallic grains in the meteorite. Doug Rowland, project scientist in the Center for Molecular and Genomic Imaging at the UC Davis Department of Biomedical Engineering, contributed X-ray computed tomography scanning of the rock.

Put together, these measurements confirmed that the Chelyabinsk object was an ordinary chondrite, 4,452 million years old, and that it last went through a significant shock event about 115 million years after the formation of the solar system 4,567 million years ago. That impact was at a much later date than in other known chondrites of the same type, Yin said, suggesting a violent history.

Jenniskens calculated that the object may have come from the Flora asteroid family in the asteroid belt, but the chunk that hit the Chelyabinsk area was apparently not broken up in the asteroid belt itself. Researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan found that the rock had been exposed to cosmic rays for only about 1.2 million years, unusually short for rocks originating in the Flora family.

Jenniskens speculates that Chelyabinsk belonged to a bigger “rubble pile” asteroid that broke apart 1.2 million years ago, possibly in an earlier close encounter with Earth.

The rest of that rubble could still be around as part of the near-earth asteroid population, Jenniskens said.

Yin noted that major meteorite strikes like Tunguska or Chelyabinsk occur more frequently than we tend to think. For example, four tons of material were recovered from a meteor shower in Jilin, China in 1976.

“Chelyabinsk serves as unique calibration point for high energy meteorite impact events for our future studies,” he said. Technology for early detection of these objects is needed, Yin said — such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, currently being developed by an international team headed by UC Davis physics professor J. Anthony Tyson.

The work was supported by the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Office of the Governor of Chelyabinsk Oblast, NASA and the Academy of Finland.

Fifth Element Day at the New Parkway?

9 P.M. Tuesday, 18 MAR 2014, $10

Regular readers of the blog will recall that Korben Dallas’ Busy Day starts when he wakes up on 18 March 2263. This is also Director Luc Besson’s birthday, natch. Let’s celebrate this most incredible sci-fi film (with its most incredible interfaces) with a viewing on that most auspicious of days.

If we get enough people, we can get the rights to view it at the New Parkway Cinema in Oakland and enjoy the film the way it was meant to be enjoyed: With a bunch of other sci-fi nerds, on the big silver screen, with couches, beanbags, food, and a full bar (remember, Luc’s French.)

How many is enough people?

At $10 tickets, we need at least 50 to secure the rights and have the show. More than that and we get to thank New Parkway for working with me on such short notice. Much more than that and I can have a trivia contest with prizes. And if anyone’s interested, I could either play the Fifth-Element-centric pilot of Sci-Fi University beforehand, or maybe even a live, short-but-nerdy review of one of the other interfaces that appear everywhere in the film. I’ll get feedback on the site once it’s going.

When is the cutoff date?

There’s not a lot of time! We need that 50 as soon as possible so we can secure the cinema and the rights, etc. Ideally we could get that number by end of day today, 19 February. But that’s not a ton of time. So the final cutoff will be this Friday, 21 February 2014 at 4 P.M. Pacific Standard Time

Buy your tickets at Brown Paper Tickets. If we can’t get at least 50 people, you’re not charged. But once we get those 50, the thing’s happening, the sale goes through, and we let Korben Dallas and Leeloo save the universe one more time.

UPDATE1: My math was off by half. We need 50 for the licensing. I’ve changed the above, and if you’re wondering, it used to say 25.

UPDATE2: We made the numbers! It’s on!

Dr. Geck was certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery in 2003. He has been in practice in Austin, Texas since 2002. He served as medical director at his previous practice, from 2008 to 2009. Dr. Geck was then named as Co-Chief of the Seton Spine and Scoliosis Center in November of 2009.

Dr. Geck performed an ACGME approved spine fellowship in adult and pediatric spine surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital. He then spent additional time at Miami Children's Hospital focusing on complex spinal deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and revision surgery for the previously operated scoliosis patient.

Dr. Geck is also the Founder of SpineHope, a non profit organization that transforms the lives of children with spinal deformities worldwide through surgery, education and research. In addition to 7 trips to Cali, Colombia performing life changing spinal surgeries for underprivileged children, Dr. Geck intends through SpineHope to develop additional global outreach programs. For his efforts in global outreach for complex spine problems Dr. Geck was given the University of Wisconsin’s Forward under 40 award in 2009. Dr. Geck has been named to the Becker's Spine Review list of "50 Spine Surgeons Focusing on Scoliosis Development." Dr. Geck is leading the way with minimally invasive scoliosis reconstruction.

Dr. Geck has written or presented more than 40 scientific papers and book chapters in the journals Spine, The Journal of Spinal Disorders, Orthopedic Clinics in North America, and at the Scoliosis Research Society, International Meeting for Advanced Spinal Techniques, North American Spine Society, Cervical Spine Research Society, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. He is a Fellow of the Scoliosis Research Society, North American Spine Society, and the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Dr. Matthew Geck is only the third surgeon in central Texas to be accepted into the Cervical Spine Research Society. He was accepted into the society in February of 2012.

Book Review: ‘The Husband’s Secret’

Liane Moriarty’s The Huband’s Secret (July 2013 Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam) starts off with the perfect quotation by Alexander Pope:

“To err is human; to forgive, divine.”

Although The Husband’s Secret is set in Sydney, Australia, it might as well be set anywhere around the world, because you are sure to relate to one, if not all three, of the main characters. The world they find themselves in, where they are all financially and upstanding successful citizens, is full of ethical dilemmas that will force you to reach for your favorite comfort food, in my case this was the addictive Bake Rolz crackers!

The novel forces you look at the world around you in a new light – friends and families, their lives, all the pressures, tragedies and how different people react in the face of these. Reading Liane Moriarty’s The Husband’s Secret kept making me think of the serenity prayer:

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”

How would you react in the place of one of these women in the novel?
How far would you go to protect a loved one?
Would you be able to forgive betrayal?
Would you ever find a place in your heart to forgive the killer of your child?
Would you stay bent on revenge?
Should you open a secret letter that is marked to be opened only after death?
Would you rather live in ignorance of the complete truth?

How far would you go to protect the life you’re living?

These questions are not so foreign to Egyptians, and the past three years the whole country has gone through emotional roller coasters where many of us have not known what is the best or “correct” ethical stance to take. These are not yes or no questions.

The more one goes through life, the more one realizes that life is not black and white, and Moriarty depicts this in a superb novel that is not only a number one New York Times best seller and an intense ride, but also chatty and comical at times. Keep those Bake Rolz close because this one is simply a novel you can’t put down.

Author Liane Moriarty
Author Liane Moriarty

The three main characters are at first not connected and you keep wondering how Moriarty will link them to each other. First, there is Cecilia Fitzpatrick, mother of three daughters. She is married to successful businessman Jean-Paul, volunteers in the school and is a pillar of her community. She is the one that stumbles on the earth shattering secret letter that is not supposed to be opened until after her husband’s death.

Second is Tess O’Leary, who discovers her husband is cheating on her with her cousin and business partner Felicity. Upon this discovery, she and her son then move back to Sydney to stay with her mother.

The third main character is Rachel Crowley, a widow whose teenage daughter was found strangled thirty years ago. She has a son who is married and a grandson Jason, who is the light of her life, but her son’s family have decided they are moving to New York.

I didn’t like the fact that it is only after Felicity, who has always been overweight, had plastic surgery that the infidelity occurred. I thought the male characters could have been developed more as well, but the complexity of the plot and the endearing three main characters are a total hook.

“She couldn’t remember why she’d come into the pantry in the first place. Maybe she’d come for no other reason than to calm her mind by looking at her Tupperware containers. The pleasing, purposeful geometry of their interlocking shapes. Their blue airtight lids keeping everything fresh and crisp. There were no rotting secrets in Cecilia’s pantry.”

For so many married couples, while reading you will find that Moriarty has exactly hit the nail on the head:

“Marriage was a form of insanity; love hovering permanently on the edge of aggravation.”

“Perhaps nothing was ever ‘meant to be.’ There was just life, and right now, and doing your best. Being a bit ‘bendy.’”

“Falling in love was easy. Anyone could fall. It was holding on that was tricky.”

Moriarty ends the novel brilliantly with, “None of us ever know all the possible courses our lives could have and maybe should have taken. It’s probably just as well. Some secrets are meant to stay secret forever. Just ask Pandora”, which reminded me of Sir Walter Scott, in his poem Marmion, who couldn’t have said it better: “Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive”.

Housing advice across the UK

Shelter Scotland offers housing advice across the whole of Scotland.

What is the relationship between Shelter England and Shelter Scotland?

Shelter Scotland and Shelter England are separate operating divisions of Shelter, providing services, campaigns, policy, web content, media and training independently.

Even before devolution and the setting up of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, Scottish housing and homelessness issues were dealt with in Scotland. Shelter Scotland focuses its attention exclusively on the Scottish political scene, ensuring that we are effective both north and south of the border.

Why do you have separate English and Scottish websites?

Because English and Scottish housing laws are different, and the challenges we face in the two countries are not the same, we need to offer you advice, policy and campaigning information that’s tailored to the country you’re in.

Please make sure you are on the correct website, particularly if you are viewing housing advice. Whether you are viewing the English or Scottish site is highlighted in red in the top right hand corner of the screen.

Find Shelter England's Get advice pages.

Find Shelter Scotland's Get advice pages.

Does Shelter operate in Wales and Northern Ireland?

Shelter doesn’t operate in Wales and Northern Ireland, but is affiliated to Shelter Cymru and works closely with the Housing Rights Service in Northern Ireland, particularly on their Housing Advice NI website.

Who is eligible to use the Network?

The Network opportunity is intended for Shelter supporters, recorded on our supporter database, aged over 55. There are a limited number of wills that can be written each year so this offer is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Do I need to include a gift to Shelter in a will written through the Network?

Gifts in wills to Shelter help us to continue our work to prevent homelessness, improve housing conditions and strengthen communities. We’d really appreciate it if you decide to include a gift in your will, however, there is no obligation to do so.

How do I apply?

To apply, please call 0344 515 2062 to speak to Kate McGrath, our Legacy Adviser, who will be happy to help, or email her at

    Any solicitor you are referred to as part of the National Free Wills Network is an independent professional from whom you will receive impartial and confidential advice. All Network solicitors are members of their relevant Law Society. Inclusion of a firm of solicitors in the Network does not imply a recommendation by Shelter.

Kickstarter project of the month…
My Amazon author page!!!!

I am really looking forward to heading down to Hilton Head in August. I can’t say how much I need a break right now. There is a ton of stuff going on and its really fun but I am tired. Between moving, work and transitioning the boys to summer I am tired.

We sat in the hot tub last night, Barb, Luke and I. We had a very nice time relaxing. Its really fun to be able to slide into a hot tub again. I now remember how much I love the hot tub in Indiana.

We have a sauna/steam shower in the basement. I am going to have to try that one soon.

My Kickstarter project for June :  Poppy

Turn your iPhone into a 3d camera.

What is it?

Poppy lets you capture and share the world the way you really experience it: in three dimensions. Have you ever wished you could record a moment, and share it so someone else could feel like they were there, too? Well, now you can.

I see a huge market for these guys, in particular combining panorama and 3-d with the iPhone for realtors and other professionals who need to offer tours of a specific location. Or, for that matter training videos for people to leverage that allow you to see all sides of an object with depth.

Interesting new reality with your cellular phone. With just a few low cost attachments you can actually have a Macro Camera (close) infrared camera (heat and heat loss), 3d camera and attach it to your binoculars for a long distance camera. All, with your iPhone. 1 small bag full of attachments that allow you to change the world. I have a dear friend who used to call me the King of add on gadgets. Well, he was rightSmile.

Thinking back…
My Amazon author page!!!!

My ex-wife once told me “you should sell your computer, its not worth what you paid for it.” She meant that computers in general wouldn’t turn out to be of value for me. Beyond a number of other factors please note that the ex is in front of the wife. She was very angry with me at the end of our relationship and for that I am sorry. I do also, forgive her.

It used to make me sad to think about my first marriage. It felt like a failure for many years. It doesn’t anymore. Now it just feels like a mistake. Love is a complicated thing that requires time, investment and willingness to change.

I left teaching in 1991. I left Indiana the second time in 1991 (first time was Thailand). Since I left teaching technology has been the focus and nexus of everything I’ve done. Sorry MCK, you were wrong.

Computers are a core component of what I do for a living.

Now if I could only train my Labrador not to pout while I am on the computer.

I miss the connection tones of a 9600 baud modem.

When is enough, enough…
My Amazon author page!!!!

If one considers from beginning to end everything that encompasses what we think happens (before the event) and what actually happened how often are we really right?

Random Thoughts:

  • Why is the last left turn always the best turn of a drive?
  • Why do garbage cans seem to always be next to mailboxes?
  • Why do hammocks never sway with the wind?
  • Why doesn’t my grill door close all the way?
  • Why does grilled food taste so much better than non-grilled food?
  • Why so many why random questions today?

Its why day!

why is the sky blue?

I am researching a bunch of things today and realized all I have done since last night is ask why questions. I am not sure when my question maker broke and could only formulate why questions, but it happened yesterday sometime.

Question: if a rolling stone gather’s no moss, and Sisyphus was pushing his rock up the hill (over and over) did it ever get moss?

Question: when is it time to say enough is enough?

Replace Mainframes with Human Frames…
My Amazon author page!!!!

I have, expressed a number of times, as a technologist a feeling that I like so many around me are Ozmandias. You can look but you won’t see anything our works are below ground. There is no impressive tower with flashing lights saying “we built this.” You can look for our works ye mighty but in the end that will only bring despair.

We’ve moved things from the mighty mainframes to the cloud. The cloud is a perfect description of what we’ve migrated it, it is real (in a far away data center) but no longer under our thumbs. In the mainframe days there was almost a religious zeal about computing (thou shalt not touch yon mainframe in all its shimmering glory). We built data centers around the mainframe.

Really, we were building the first clouds with the mainframes. The concept of remote computing began with the mainframe. Certainly we evaluated the concepts of that initial computing process and realized we needed to offset and offload some of the processing. So we started distributing servers. The interesting thing about distributing anything is the reality of management. It is a tradition in my family to hide candy and eggs for Easter. Many families have that tradition. We distribute the eggs and candy and the kids run to find it. The reality is like disturbed computing we find Easter eggs many weeks after Easter that we had either forgotten where we put them initially, or they were accidentally moved or moved on purpose. Distributed computing brought the reduction of the mainframe and increased the value of operations teams.

I am not a futurist. I do not claim to have a view into what may be. I am simply rehashing what we have done to this point. We built great buildings around mainframes that we tore down. Then we realized (mostly by smell) that we had missed some of the eggs we had distributed. So we started consolidating them back into data centers and called them “clouds.”

We went from all hail the tape librarian to all hail the ITSM lead. Yet we push onward. What lies beyond that we do not see now? Applications. I started my career in IT as an email and collaboration person. I worked with much smarter people than I to build a mail system and a Lotus Notes system that well just worked. We leveraged the Notes Directory and the Novell directories to provide user logins, installation of critical software and access to our network. In the center of the network I built was a softswitch box that provided SMTP, connection to MSMail, Lotus Notes Mail and CCMail. All the mail systems were running in different sections of the company. We added MS Exchange in the end. The system, though a diamond (everything going to the tip before going back out to the edges) worked.

You see I wonder if that is coming back. In my book “The Syncverse” I talk about the concept of the Myverse, a place that is dedicated to me. The concept of a personal cloud. But as I think about the concept of the Internet of things, and the Myverse I begin to realize that your personal cloud may be all around you all the time. Devices becoming less independent and more about services. IE your television as a service. Your refrigerator as a service. Your personal cloud extended to all the personal devices you own in your house, at work and at play.

A future, like the past built around a computing device. Just replace mainframe with a human frame.

Shameless Review–Hot TUB!
My Amazon author page!!!!

I owned a pool and a hot tub in Indiana for 10 years. I owned a pool in Cincinnati. Living now in a Maryland Neighborhood with a pool, priceless. But I have found in the past two years that I miss the hot tub.

Shameless Review:

Jacuzzi j315 Hot Tub

So we added to the new house, a wonderful new Hot Tub. Previously we had purchased a locally made hot tub. Now we went with the name brand – a 3 person hot tub.

What I love

  • Colored lights
  • AC – not 220 plug
  • smaller
  • easy to remove top

What I don’t like

  • chlorine based

Hot Tubs are an intensely personal choice. The what and how of the hot tub is critical. Overall my impression with the Jacuzzi to date is why did I wait so long. Not that I am dishing my first hot tub, it was great for what we needed then. This is a more personal hot tub. The only thing you can’t get on the J315 that I really wanted was the built in stereo. But for 2500 bucks, I can always cart my portable music system outdoors.

Ahh – the gentle refreshing sound of the waterfall is lulling me into the quiet hot tub relaxed frame of mind.

Are we a house divided?
My Amazon author page!!!!

I posted a quote from Abraham Lincoln and a question from me on both twitter and Facebook. I didn’t create a hash tag blip on twitter but I got quite a few responses in both places. Not mind you, that my question was worthy of inclusion with Lincoln’s quote, rather that it seems to me that history is repeating itself right in front of us.

The quote from Lincoln “A house divided upon itself cannot stand” has a lot of intent as well as meaning. In his case Lincoln was trying to launch the healing that are nation needed post the Civil War.  You can argue, and many historians do that Lincoln took too much power from congress into the executive mansion. Desperate times don’t call for uneasy hands at the tiller.

Are we nearing that now? The Congress of the United States is far from United. The Senate chases after issues that aren’t anywhere near what the House is chasing after. We certainly have people on both sides that agree, but we don’t seem right now to have people on either side who are willing to compromise. “I come not” in the words of Mark Anthony “to praise “congress”” rather to…” change it.

Have we become a nation of isolated pockets?

Are we in effect 300 million + Don Quixote’s each tilting at our own individual wind mills? I get that there are distinct problems in our country. Some of which by the way have been here for more than 30 years (read a nation at risk, a report that detailed what was wrong with education 30 years ago). we are sliding in STEM education. We have become the world’s policeman. Not the UN as the policeman, for what that group was originally founded (to be a single unified peacekeeping and educational force in the world).

we have the most expensive healthcare in the world. Please don’t comment on my blog saying “see Obama care is expensive” because the healthcare costs we have today are pre-OBAMACARE. If that program does or doesn’t raise prices is yet to be seen. Our Healthcare is far to expensive, there is waste and inequality, inefficiency in that system as well as simply outright profit taking that has to be stopped somehow.

We spent our way out of the last recession.

We’ve created a nation from those who struggled. We as a nation stand for unity and purpose. We put a human being on the Moon. Its time to change the world again…

Random memory access Monday…
My Amazon author page!!!!

If you set out to count all the grains of sand on a beach what is in the end your goal? Is there a rational end to what you are seeking and if so why? Just a question that bounced around in my head all day yesterday.

Weekend total:  5 boxes unpacked

                            9 pictures hung

Oh well. Could have been more but I had a cold most of the week so it was nice to sleep in, and catch up on the rest I needed.

Random Thoughts:

  • How do people organize before packing so that you don’t have to organize as you are unpacking?
  • What does organization really mean.
  • Why do some people have to press the walk button 22 times?
  • Why do flowers smell so nice but die so quickly?
  • Why do hot tubs feel so good? Is it the 360 degree warming of your body? Or is it the immersion? What makes them so effective?
  • What lies at the bottom of the brown eyes of a Labrador? Will we ever know?
  • All dogs are smart – they don’t have to go to work, they get a to stay home and sleep all day. That’s why it’s a dogs life!
  • I was happy to see the Heat win – why? I really like the way D-Wade and LeBron play basketball together. They remind me of watching the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers. There was once a fast break between Quinn Buckner and Bobby Wilkerson where the ball never touched the hardwood via dribbling resulting in a Wilkerson layup. The perfection of basketball that LeBron and D-Wade have.
  • I feel D-Wade’s knee pain – mine hurt all the time.

Not sure where these random thoughts come from – but they dance around in my head until I share them, sorry.

GOMA’s Marvel blockbuster opens in May

Screen Queensland is excited to share the news about this must-see exhibition + film program

Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Director Chris Saines was behind-the-scenes at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) previewing some of the costumes and props to feature in the upcoming exhibition ‘Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe from 27 May to 3 September.

Mr Saines said the costumes of Marvel characters Captain America, Thor and The Ancient One would feature among the 500 plus objects in the exclusive to GOMA exhibition.

‘This exhibition will be the first major Marvel exhibition in Australia and the largest ever presented in an art museum worldwide,’ Mr Saines said.

‘It will encompass the entire ground floor of GOMA and include more than 60 original costumes, props, spectacular set design, costumes, concept and keyframe art and clips from the Marvel Studios films.

‘Curated by QAGOMA’s Amanda Slack-Smith, the exhibition draws on Marvel’s extensive archives to give audiences unprecedented insight into the rich fictional world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,’ he said

The legendary Marvel characters and their complex personas and relationships are profiled with a focus on Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and the Avengers, alongside Doctor Strange, Ant-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Kevin Feige, Producer, Marvel Studios, said the company was thrilled to be working with QAGOMA to bring to life this unique exhibition.

‘The support that we’ve received from Queensland and the country of Australia has been incredible. Following the success of filming Thor: Ragnarok on the Gold Coast, we couldn’t think of a better setting to stage the largest Marvel exhibition ever.’ Mr Feige said.

The exhibition addresses three key themes ‘The Cinematic Assembled’, ‘Decoding the Universe’ and ‘Behind the Scenes’ and it recognises the artists and creative teams behind the much-loved stories, offering a glimpse into the work of production designers, storyboarding and pre-visualisation artists, costume and prop designers, and visual effects artists.

Must-see highlights include more than 60 original Marvel Studios costumes, Tony Stark’s race car from Iron Man 2, Thor’s hammer, multiple versions of Iron Man’s armour including the imposing three metre tall Hulkbuster, the Eye of Agamotto from Doctor Strange, and never-before-seen items from the set of the upcoming film Thor: Ragnarok including the majestic Asgardian throne room.

Interactive experiences throughout the exhibition invite visitors to delve even further into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Throughout the exhibition season a retrospective of Marvel Cinematic Universe films will screen in the Gallery’s Australian Cinémathèque and include Iron Man (2008), Marvel’s The Avengers (2012), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Doctor Strange (2016) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 (2017).

An Up Late series will accompany the exhibition on Fridays from 28 July – 1 September, including music, talks and more. The exhibition will also be open late until 9pm on Wednesday evenings.

Tickets to ‘Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe’ and the MCU film retrospective are on sale now through qagoma.qld.gov.au

‘Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe’ has been organised by the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) in collaboration with Marvel Entertainment. The exhibition has received additional support from the Queensland Government though Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) and Arts Queensland.

San Diego Botanic Garden ArtFest
Location: 230 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas (map)
Date and Time: April 7 and 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Age Restrictions: All ages welcome
Ticket Cost: Free with garden admission or membership

When spring is fully here, many people find themselves nesting. That process can include frenetic cleaning, as well as redesigning or remodeling space in the home. For some people, those efforts could make it painfully clear that their space is in need of new art to hang on the walls.

Instead of going to a bunch of awesome art galleries around time, which could take weeks, you can seek your next conversation starter or focal point at the San Diego Botanic Gardens! Not only are the gardens themselves a major attraction (one of the top 10 North Americans garden tourism destinations), they also host some really incredible events. Those events include ArtFest 2018.

Enjoy Beautiful Plants While Browsing Local Art

The setting certainly sets ArtFest apart from other awesome local events in April. There will be more than 20 local and regional artists at ArtFest 2018, all of whom will have original and amazing artwork on display and available for purchase throughout this garden paradise.

These artists represent many of the different creative fields, including sculptors, potters, painters and glass, fiber and gourd artists. Some will even give free presentations and demonstrations that show their creative process. You can stroll through the carefully manicured gardens and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine while browsing for a print, painting or portrait that would be perfect in your home. That means you can enjoy your day out while supporting local and regional talent!

Food, Gifts and Educational Events

In addition to the art displays, there will be much more to enjoy. There will be live music as you stroll, provided by Bob Ballentine and friends. The San Diego Botanic Garden will have displays and demonstrations celebrating Asian horticulture. The Keiri Study Group of the Sogetsu School of Ikebana and Bonsai and Beyond will be there to educate the public and raise awareness of these horticultural works of art.

If all that walking leaves you feeling a bit peckish, you can enjoy a salad, sandwich, snack or coffee from The Feel Good Coffee Cart, which is conveniently located by the gift shop for the Botanic Gardens. The gift shop will have gardening supplies, including plants, as well as fun and creative gifts.

About Me

About MeHome ValuationExposure to Buyers

What makes me different and more worthy than any other agent? Great Question…

1.) I have been in the real estate industry since 1998

2.) At 29 years old I founded a wholesale mortgage firm here in Charleston and as such being the President/CEO I was responsible for overseeing 13 team members, two branches, ALL the marketing functions, business development, training of real estate agents in financing, training of my loan officers, and making sure over $85 Million in loans got closed. Of which most were purchases. So I have REAL business knowledge and real estate is business vs an agent without that savvy business skills.

3.) I graduated from University of S.C. where my major was media arts. What’s that mean? What you are reading right now is media. Everything you see and hear is media. Everything on a computer is digital media, websites, video, photographs, and audio. I studied video production, photography/lighting courses, audio recording, and more. Even post cards, billboards, news paper are ALL media, print media. (Although it’s an antiquated media). With that knowledge your home will have the most beautiful representation to the prospective buyers, instead of most of what you see out there (poorly lit, poorly framed, bad photos and video that put off buyers).

4.) 95% OF ALL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BEGIN WITH THE INTERNETPERIOD, IT IS FACT. I am a digital internet marketing expert. I consult other businesses on how to harness the internet’s power through web design, SEO (search engine optimization), content marketing, image marketing, user experience design, online ad management and more.

When listing a home for sale there isn't an exact science to it, but what is required is knowing all the facts, and that's where I come in. What's a home valuation really anyway?

Estimating the value of real property is important to a variety reasons, but for most people, determining the asking or purchase price of a property is the most useful application of real estate valuation. This article will provide an introduction to the basic concepts and methods of real estate valuation, particularly as it pertains to real estate sales.

That's all well and good, however what most home owners in Charleston SC and the U.S. really want to know is what's my property worth now if I were to try to sell it? The most common method  that 90% of listing agent use is:

The Sales Comparison Approach.

Value -
A main consideration in appraising is to determine a property’s value: the present worth of future benefitsarising from the ownership of real property. Unlike many consumer goods such as oil, lumber, food, etc. that are quickly used, the benefits of real property are generally realized over a long period of time. Therefore, an estimate of a property’s value must take into consideration economic and social factors, as well as governmental controls or regulations and environmental conditions that may influence the four elements of value:

  • Demand – the desire or need for ownership supported by the financial means to satisfy the desire;
  • Utility – the ability to satisfy future owners’ desires and needs;
  • Scarcity – the finite supply of competing properties
  • Transfer-ability – the ease with which ownership rights are transferred.

– What have the homes that are MOST comparable to yours (subject property) sold for recently per sq ft., and  what is currently for sale (taking into account scarcity from above)?

– What are the prices being asked by your competing listings in and around your neighborhood.

Other Factors inside the two primary ones above include: (age of home, physical features, location, conditions of the sale, economic conditions)

Home » Architecture » The Top 10 Greatest Architects in History – Part 1

The Top 10 Greatest Architects in History – Part 1

Architecture continues to play an enormous role in our lives. From the houses we gaze at on our daily commute to the iconic and timeless buildings in our towns and cities, architecture is all around us. We also admire those responsible for designing these homes and buildings. In fact, we are about to look at some of the most famous pioneers of the industry; those who have paved the way for cutting-edge innovation and ingenious design.

Frank Gehry

Being responsible for some of the most innovative and distinctive architecture you’ll see anywhere in the world, Gehry’s works are unmistakable. Travellers make their way from all corners of the globe just to marvel at his work up close. He has quite simply set a precedent for modern architecture.

Gehry also has an uncanny ability to create spaces that manipulate surfaces and forms and we continue to be amazed at the authentic way in which he uses materials that make no sense how they work together. Vanity fair named Gehry “the most important architect of our age”.

Frank Lloyd Wright

While many regard Gehry as the greatest-ever architect, there are those who firmly believe that honour goes to the second gentleman on our list. Frank Lloyd Wright viewed interior and exterior sales as one and the same and was a pioneer when it came to construction methods and building forms, despite the fact that he never attended a former architectural school.

Lloyd Wright learned his trade under another architectural legend: Louis Sullivan. Wright is still best-known for his organic influences and prairie-style buildings. His innovative use of detail and his natural and organic forms that appeared to blend in with nature are still regarded to be his greatest design and building hallmarks, even after one and a half centuries have passed.

Zaha Hadid

Zaha Hadid became the first-ever female architect to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize. The Iraqi-born Hadid won the prize that is frequently referred to as the ‘Nobel peace prize of architecture’. The architect’s forms are known for being artistic, daring, unconventional, and futuristic.

A great deal of Hadid’s projects never came to fruition and yet she still managed to rank 69 on a previous Forbes list of the most powerful women. Her stunning work always leaves admirers wondering how she did it.

Tom Wright

Why this gentleman may be known for a single building, he still makes our list of the greatest contemporary architects of our generation. That’s because the building we’re referring to is Dubai’s most well-known hotel. The Burj Al Arab is characterised by its luxurious amenities and is known as one of the most well-known buildings, not just in the hotel industry but in contemporary architecture, in general.

The building features the largest atrium in the world and comes with the world’s tallest tennis court, as well as its very own helicopter landing pad. Tom Wright very definitely deserves his place on any list of the greatest contemporary architects.

SOTU – Defunding Social Security

Bush wants to cut Social Security taxes – that is what is meant where he talked about a new tax deduction for health insurance that would come from “payroll taxes.” That means from Social Security taxes.
Social Security is currently solvent, and projected to remain solvent. But not if Bush gets his way with this tax cut. Then it really WOULD be in trouble.
It’s a trick. It is yet another scheme to get rid of Social Security.
UpdateAmerican Prospect picks up on this

But, there is a flip side to this tax break. If workers pay less money into Social Security, they would also get less back. To take an extreme case, imagine a worker whose pay averages $20,000 a year. Currently, this would salary would get this worker $11,000 if she started collecting benefits at the normal retirement age. Under President Bush’s proposal, the worker would only be credited with $5,000 a year towards her Social Security benefits, getting her $4,500 a year when she retires. This is a big difference.
