FS#975 - Search/Replace accomplished info ...

It would be nice to get a status information after the use of the “Search/Replace” tool.

Something like: “5 matches found and replaced”,
no “matches found”.

It helps allot to get an Idea what happens in your drawing. Right now the tool window will just disappear and you have no idea about any success.

Trailer Debut: The Company You Keep

Ahead of the world premiere of Robert Redford‘s latest film, The Company You Keep, at the Venice International Film Festival, the first trailer has been released and it’s certainly… interesting. It concerns an intrepid young journalist (Shia LeBeouf) who is investigating the story of a former Weather Underground member (an early 70s activist militia) arrested […]

Traffic is flowing well on Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst in this picture, but a bridge closure may tie things up through the area on the weekend of Aug. 21-22.

Traffic tie-ups on Queens Boulevard between Woodhaven Boulevard and the Long Island Expressway are normally bad on weekends, but it figures to be even worse come the weekend of Aug. 20-21.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that it will close the six-lane main portion of Queens Boulevard between 57th Avenue in Elmhurst and 63rd Road in Rego Park from 11 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 19, until 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 22.

The shutdown is required in order for crews to “make urgent repairs to the Woodhaven Boulevard bridge over Queens Boulevard” near the Queens Center mall. Woodhaven Boulevard, however, will remain open during repairs.

All traffic on Queens Boulevard will be directed to the service roads, effectively merging in both directions four lanes of traffic into two lanes. Parking in the area of the work zone will be restricted in order to accommodate vehicles, according to a DOT notice that QNS received.

To help reduce the amount of traffic through the area, the DOT will also close the exit ramp leading from the westbound Long Island Expressway to the westbound lanes of Queens Boulevard.

The closure of the main portion of Queens Boulevard will likely cause significant delays not only for drivers but also for commuters who use the Q59 and Q60 buses, which travel on the Queens Boulevard service roads in the area. It will likely also impact the Q21, Q29, Q38, Q52 and Q53 buses, which stop near the Queens Center mall.

As a result, drivers and commuters should seek alternate routes through the area and, if possible, use the subway; the R train stops at Woodhaven Boulevard on weekends.

For more information, visit the DOT’s website or call 311.

New Austin Kanfoush Part in the One Up Promo

This past Friday, way out in Pittsburgh, One Up Skateshop premiered their 2012 promo. It’s intended to be a teaser for their full-length video, which is coming out in February 2013 for the shop’s ten-year anniversary. Similar to how Rich Forever is a teaser for God Forgives, I Don’t, except Pittsburgh skateboarding is way sicker than Rick Ross. Most of us don’t live in Pittsburgh, so the crew at One Up was down to share Austin Kanfoush’s part with everyone. Oddly, there are less football jerseys this time around. Includes guest tricks from Kyle Nicholson, Ryan Harris, Jake Johnson, and David Cole.

You can purchase the full promo video on DVD over at for $10 + shipping. The DVD also includes Fuck Yinz Volume 1, Volume 2, and Yinz M.I.A. (Fuck Yinz 2 video review here.) Pittsburgh legitimately has some of the best skaters out right now, regardless of whether or not the internet at large, magazines, etc. choose to acknowledge that. The DVD is definitely worth your $10. Austin’s part embedded below.

Follow for updates leading up to the full-length.

Population Demography in Swirl

By Emily Weigel

Georgia Institute of Technology

The students will learn to generate, test, and graphically represent basic hypotheses on data distributions using large datasets.

Listed in Teaching Materials | resource by group Make Teaching with R in Undergraduate Biology Less Excruciating

Version 4.0 - published on 12 Feb 2020 doi:10.25334/NANC-M515 - cite this

Licensed under CC Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International according to these terms

This lesson centers around comparing the survivorship of two groups using a life table derived from tombstone information. Students will work through calculating some elements by hand via a worksheet alongside working in R. This swirl lesson goes step-by-step to show students how to do basic data manipulations, graphing, visual inspection of the data, and statistical tests as they work an example dataset with respect to a given hypothesis (whether males and females have the same life history curve). Students are then expected to repeat the coding steps they learned in R to test a hypothesis of their own.

Learning objectives:

  1. Complete a prelab reading to familiarize themselves with the goals of the lesson and the background ecological information of life tables
  1. Practice calculations and what the numbers in a life-table mean; generate associated hypotheses
  1. Practice coding elements necessary to generate datasets and test hypotheses based on the data
  1. Apply the coding learned through swirl to their own hypothesis to answer whether two groups in their data have the same survivorship

Cite this work

Researchers should cite this work as follows:

Please feel free to adapt this for use with other cemetery, longevity, or death datasets, provided that you are always respectful of the people your data represent.

Version 2.0 reorders the lessons and has code to get around package-dependences. Also, based on field tests, the lesson plan now includes code to help students with computer-specific issues on package installation found to be specific to Macs/Linux systems.

Version 3.0 builds on the last version by adding in commands which ensure matrices are built correctly in the newest packages. This version also adds a warning to examine the data within a generated matrix, specifically regarding 0's in comparison groups which can cause errors in running chi-square and G-test functions in edge cases.

Version 4.0 adds additional instructions to aid with the code when run in base R (outside of swirl/RStudio).

Staying educated

2 min read

“Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears and never regrets.” – Leonardo da Vinci.

This is just one of many quotes from great leaders and thinkers who value continuous learning. No one can truly believe they know it all, no matter how successful they are, and not in a world that changes so quickly. Even in the simplest of industries, the business model needs to change from time to time, and this can only be achieved through reflection and learning.

Our customers’ needs keep changing as well. The way we deliver products and services changes, and the infrastructure we use to support businesses has evolved beyond recognition. Most of these changes drive efficiency for businesses, but can also reduce the need for people or particular supplies (for example, paper-based), making other industries obsolete.

Some people find the thought of education scary, maybe after a poor experience with traditional schools and universities. But this isn’t algebra or the periodic table. Learning about business technology or new ways of doing things will have a direct impact on your fulfilment, lifestyle and financial health. And there is so much out there, no matter your budget.

Find your personal learning style

First try to identify your preferred style of learning. Do you like someone to show you step by step how to do something, or do you prefer to figure it out for yourself? Do you like to watch presentations and videos, or are you a reader?

Books are great places to start, but if you don’t enjoy reading you may find shorter snippets and more interaction easier to absorb. Ebooks offer short topics for a low cost or are often free, while forums and chat rooms allow you to ask questions and get advice from others in your situation.

YouTube has great ‘how to’ content for free, while many technology products have extensive help areas and live chat functions.

Online structured programs on particular topics are a step up in terms of quality and price, and may include a combination of written, aural and visual content, interactive activities to work through and practical tips.

Finally, face-to-face learning in groups or one-on-one training will usually be the most expensive but also of greatest value to you, being tailored to your own needs and introducing you to people in similar situations.

Know your valuable learning areas

Starting with one piece of educational content can lead to many other forms of learning, as most will recommend further sources. You will find there are some topics that are continual sources of learning, while others will require only a surface awareness. Learning shouldn’t be about doing everything yourself, but instead it should teach you to know when you have hit an area that requires expert advice, such as tax law.

Some skills never go out of date and will see you through many challenging situations. Leadership skills are always important, and particularly the ability to lead through a period of change. Presentation skills and powerful communication in general are also timeless, as are time management and goal setting.

Basic financial skills are key to understanding the performance of your business. Accounting software, such as QuickBooks Online, can take away the need to manually reconcile every receipt and bank statement, inputting data efficiently. But you will need to be able to interpret the outputs, such as management reports, to help drive your business in the right direction.

Kandinsky towards abstraction

At the age of six he moved to Munich where his father, Theodor Hofmann, took a job with the Bavarian government. He went on to patent several innovative electronic devices, including an electromagnetic comptometer, a radar device for ships, a sensitized light bulb, and a portable freezer for use in the military. Even with all these early accomplishments, his focus would ultimately shift to art.

Kandinsky towards abstraction

Varley Lawren Harris Biography: He pioneered a distinctly Canadian painting style in the early twentieth century. Lawren Harris was born into a wealthy family on October 23rd He was the first born of two sons.

Andrew's College in Toronto, and then from age 19 to he studied in Berlin. He was interested in philosophy and eastern thought.

Kandinsky towards abstraction

In his youth Lawren Harris moved to Toronto, Ontario. He first studied art in Berlin, Germany, from to He then returned to Toronto, where he began painting post-impressionist street scenes of the older and poorer areas of Toronto.

He continued to paint similar subjects, both of Toronto and of small Ontario towns, into the s. Harris married Beatrice Trixie Phillips on January 20th and together had had three children born in Kandinsky towards abstraction first decade of their marriage his son Lawren P.

Harris also became an artist.

Kandinsky: The Path to Abstraction, room guide | Tate

Soon after meeting and becoming friends with J. MacDonald inthey would later together formed the Group of Seven. In Harris and J. Under this influence, Harris began painting decorative landscape oil paintings. Several Toronto painters joined Harris on outings to northern Ontario, from which they produced landscape oil paintings that represented a new, distinctly Canadian art.

He financed the construction of a studio building in Toronto with friend Dr. The Studio provided artists with cheap or free space where they could live and work.

Kandinsky towards abstraction

His school-time friend F. Housser was married in to a woman named Bess. Harris and Bess fell in love, but saw no action that could be made. For the two to divorce their spouses and marry would cause an outrage. Later in andLawren Harris with J. MacDonald financed boxcar trips for the artists of the group of seven to the Algoma region.

Jackson later claimed that Lawren Harris provided the stimulus for the Group of Seven. By Harris's landscapes had become increasingly sombre and his brush stroke more expressive. During this period, Harris's landscapes, of Lake Superior fromthe Rocky Mountains fromand the Arcticbecame more stylized.

For example, in North Shore, Lake SuperiorNational Gallery of Canada, Ottawaforms lose texture, while color and light symbolize the interplay between the spiritual and material. Harris was so passionate about the North Shore and fascinated by the theosophical concept of nature, he returned annually for the next seven years.

There he developed the style he is best known for. He painted landscapes around Toronto, Georgian Bay and Algoma. During the s, Harris' works became more abstract and simplified, especially his stark landscapes of the Canadian north and Arctic.For his tremendous contribution in moving the art world away from representational traditions and towards abstraction, Wassily Kandinsky is considered by many as the “Father of Abstract Art”.

Abstract Masterpiece: Composition VII (). Recently I went to see Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc’s Blaue Ritter (Blue Rider) exhibition at the the Fondation Beyeler in Basel, Switzerland. Kandisky’s power to arouse emotion through abstract art has always fascinated me.

Between and Kandinsky simultaneously moved towards abstraction, and used colour in his paintings to express his theories of the psychology of colour. He founded a second artistic society in through which he met the artist Franz Marc, with whom he established Der Blaue Reiter ('The Blue Rider') in This was a loose association .

Wassily Kandinsky became a painter rather late in life - Kandinsky - Towards Abstraction Essay introduction. It is only after finishing his studies at the University of Moscow, in his early thirties and completely mature that he decides to fully commit to art.

In abstraction, Kandinsky felt that he had discovered a spiritual reality which was more powerful for not being tied to the outside world – an alternative music for the senses. This period was at its height when Kandinsky co-founded and participated in the Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) group.

Kandinsky is hailed, alongside Piet Mondrian and Kasimir Malevich, as one of the fathers of abstract art, and in the years leading up to the First World War (considered for many the peak of Kandinsky’s career), he accelerated toward non-representational painting.

No wonder China is worried about Android—the NSA helped write its source code

Google’s Android smartphone operating system uses source code contributed by the US National Security Agency. Especially in the post-Edward Snowden era, that’s a red flag for Beijing, and helps to explains why China has been so eager to encourage the growth of non-Android smartphones within its borders.

Security Enhancements for Android is one of several projects that the US spy agency contributes to open-source operating platforms. Ostensibly, the NSA’s addition to Android is designed “to raise the bar in the security of commodity mobile devices,” an NSA researcher told Bloomberg Businessweek. And indeed, anti-hacking protection is actually what the spy organization is supposed to be providing.

But you can bet that Beijing is dubious about the NSA’s stated aims, especially after news that the US agency hacked millions of Chinese SMS messages and is working closely with American technology firms. Even before Snowden’s leaks, China was directing stinging criticism towards Google and Android—used in at least three quarters of China’s mobile handsets—and accusing it of “commercial discrimination” against Chinese companies. Apart from security concerns, Beijing is also keen to promote its own fast-growing tech companies, some of which are chafing at Google’s dominance.

What can Beijing actually do about Android? The first hints were released in a government white paper in March that urged local Internet firms like Baidu, Huawei, Alibaba to develop their own operating systems or at least an independent variant of Android. But such offerings are probably years away.

In the meantime, NSA submissions to Android are freely available* for intense examination by anyone who wants to look. So until China’s mobile OS is ready, perhaps its Ministry of State Security should start making its own Android submissions—it’s only fair that the People’s Republic contribute to the open source software it is using so heavily.

*Correction: An earlier version of this post incorrectly said that Android was in the public domain; it is not.

Big pharma is under threat from a whole new kind of generic drug

For years, drug makers have feared an onslaught of competition from “biosimilars,” the generic version of drugs that are made by living organisms. It finally arrived last week when the FDA approved Novartis’s Zarxio, a near copy of Amgen’s blood cancer drug Neupogen and the first biosimilar in the US.

Until recently, this type of drug, called a biologic, had no generic competition in the US. That’s because unlike typical drugs that are recreated through biochemical processes, biologics are much larger protein molecules, which require many more steps to precisely replicate, and aren’t disclosed by drug makers.

The more complex process of creating a generic version of a biologic also makes the process of evaluating and approving the drug for sale more intensive. The FDA wasn’t even allowed to consider biosimilars until the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, after which basic details on the approval process took another two years. Europe approved its first biosimilar in 2006.

These barriers have helped make the drugs the pharmaceutical industry’s latest cash cow.

Now that the hurdle has been crossed, a slew of essential blockbuster drugs will face competition from cheaper biosimilars. These are the best selling biologics worldwide, with the year their main US patent expires:

Biologics have been a major driver of drug spending by healthcare consumers, insurers, and government. The majority are considered specialty drugs, a category for which prices have soared in recent years, according to a new report from Express Scripts. The below chart measures the yearly percentage growth (“trend”) in what private insurers spend on drugs for an average person in the US:

Express Scripts

Many biologics that are best-sellers sell a majority of the drug in the US, with their US specific patents set to expire in the next five years. That’s a big concern for many drug makers that rely on biologics for a big chunk of sales.

For example, AbbVie just spent $21 billion on biotechnology company Pharmacyclics after a bidding war that significantly drove up the price. The company only has one marketed drug that had about a billion US dollars in sales last year, of which AbbVie gets half due to a prior agreement with Johnson & Johnson.

The value for AbbVie is the patent on Pharmacyclics’ drug Imbruvica, which lasts a decade longer than its existing biologic drug, Humira. Before buying Pharmacyclics, sales of Humira made up a substantial majority of AbbVie’s revenues.

In another example, Pfizer bought biosimilar pioneer Hospira for $15 billion in February.

The bad news for big pharma is a win for healthcare consumers. A Rand study from late 2014 estimates that biosimilars could reduce spending on biologics by $44 billion over the next decade by US consumers and the government.

Lotus root/Renkon salad

This is a scheduled post, currently I am away for vacation therefore sorry for any late response on comment.

Since I start doing bento, Lotus root had become a staple in my kitchen however the challenge with this unique ingredient is you can’t buy them in small qty.

A piece of Lotus root is big enough for  several times bento side dish where in most of the case the rest of them are turn into my favorite snack Lotus root chips until a friend of mine told me about this Lotus root salad.  She doesn’t give me the exact measurement of the recipe, it was based on your own sense and taste , I tried to make it and I love it.

This is my result (I am running out of ham, so I only use 1 slice, ideally I will add more ham into the salad)

Lotus root salad

Ingredients :

  • 1/4 – 1/2 lotus root depending on the size, slice thinly and immediately soaked them into salted/ vinegar water.

  2. Wipe the sliced cucumbers and lotus roots with paper towel and toss them into salad bowl, add the sugar and salt and mayonaise, then the ham.
  3. Mix well and let them chill in the fridge.
  4. Keep the salad in clean container for bento stash or stock – max 3 days

Apple Raisin Salad (Korean banchan)

I was inspired to make this salad after last night dinner at Korean restaurant where they serve this apple raisin salad as one of the banchan (side dish).

Apple Raisin salad

Ingredients :

  • 2 red apples – cut into cubes and toss into cold salted water
  • 1 cucumber – remove the seeds and cut into small pieces
  • A bunch of green seedless apple

Steps :

  1. soaked apple cubes into cold salted water for 3 minutes to maintain apple’s colors and freshness, drain and wipe gentle with paper towel.
  2. in a salad bowl , mix sugar, mayonnaise and ice water, stir until sugar dissolved and then tossed into the bowl the rest of  other ingredients
  3. mix until all ingredients coated with mayonnaise.
  4. chill in the fridge

Veggie Fruit Salad

When I was young, I don’t eat Western salad.

Being raised in a strong Chinese culture where daily meals were mostly Chinese food, Western salad was  kind of an alien to our family ( those with Mayo/Thousand island/Blue Cheese dressing). In Chinese food there are few type of salad called or served as cold platter.

Upon growing up and widen my eating and cultural experience ,  I realized that many of those food that I ate was actually considered as salad,especially when I try to translate  the name into English.

Nevertheless the salad I am posting today is a modification of the western and japanese salad.

It has creamy texture, sweet , fresh and taste the best if you served it cold.

Ingredients :

  • 1 Canned fruit (I always love to use longans, if you like you can substitute with Del Monte fruit cocktail or any other canned fruits such as lychees, peaches, grapes, pineapples), just remember to cut them into moderate sizes that is not too chunky.
  • 150 ml  mayonnaise
  •  1 Cucumber -> take out the seeds & cut into small cubes
  • 1 Carrot -> boiled till soft & cut into small cubes
  • 1 fresh Apple -> cut into small cubes
  • 1 Potato -> boiled till soft & cut into small cubes
  • 2-3 leaves of lettuces -> cut into smaller size ( around 2 cm width)

Steps :

1) Drain the canned fruit and cut fruits into smaller size (don’t throw the juices away, set aside)

2) Mix Mayonnaise with the 3 table spoon  juices from the canned fruit (you may add a little sugar if you like)

3) Mix all ingredients into salad bowl and mix well.

4) Put into refrigerator and serve when it is cold.

Notes :

If you are making in bigger portion and plan to keep for  more than 1 times meal, then separate the lettuce and only mix upon serving to avoid the lettuce become soggy.

Peppermint and Shrimp Salad

It is my mum recipe.

I still can remember the first time  I ate this salad when I was still in elementary school, my first experience eating  peppermint and immediately I fall in love with it.

Ingredients :

A bunch of peppermint leaves (stems down in a glass of water , keep them in refrigerator for at least 1 hour)

Some amount of shrimp, cooked in boiled water for 1 minute

2  chilli padi

2 lime (press the juice)

2 table spoon of fish sauce

1/2 lemongrass (chopped finely)

Steps :

Mix all ingredients in salad bowl, serve cool.

Japanese potato salad

I always love potato… and cool Japanese potato salad is one among many ways to enjoy potato.

It is simple to make and definitely refreshing with its light creamy flavor

Ingredients :

– 3 to 4 medium potatoes , scrubbed.

– 1 small carrot

– 1 small cucumber

– 3 eggs

– salt & pepper (you may add some Parmesan cheese as your liking)

– Japanese mayonnaise

Steps :

1) Boil the potatoes with their skins until tender (you can poke a fork or skewer though one to test the tenderness)

2) Boil the carrot unpeeled in the same pot.

3) Boil the eggs until hard boiled (you can put everything in the same pot)

4) While waiting for the potatoes, prepare the cucumber , take out the seeds and slice thinly, sprinkle with little of salt, squeeze and set a side to get rid of the juices.

Life Derailed? How to Renew Your Purpose

What’s my purpose? What was I born to do? What lights me up on the inside?

Ask me five years ago, and I would’ve spouted off assured answers to these burning questions.

But now? Not so much.

Just about four years ago, life threw my family and me a devastating curveball. We were just about recovered when, seven months later, the curveball twisted and gave us a one-two punch to the face and broke our hearts. And as we crawled and clawed and mourned our way out of the trauma, we came out stronger as a family unit, wise in ways we never wanted to be, and found a deep and profound healing in our souls.

As light dawned, we sighed a breath of relief in our new normal, until the doctor gave me an unsavory diagnosis, which led to my son’s, then my daughter’s, and now my husband’s diagnosis. Without a miracle, recovery anytime soon is as likely as riding a unicorn home from work to get dinner on the table by five.

Depressing? Um, yeah! But only if I end the story here.

You see, I believe that we have the choice to look at our lives as a victim or as a victor.

The trauma my family experienced does not define us. It does not define me, who I am as a mother, as a sister, as a daughter, as a wife, or as a friend. But most importantly, I refuse to allow it to define who I am at my core. I get to define that.

The same goes for Lyme. I am not, nor do I choose to identify with the disease that is currently afflicting me.

But it still left me feeling adrift. Those assured answers I had for what my purpose was in life? Gone. Just the shadow of them remained, unfulfilled.

Which is why in December, as I worked on my 2018 goals, I pined figuring out my purpose to the top of my list.

That lovely teal Post-It note mocked me. Every week or so, I’d glance at it, think I should do something about it. But after a few minutes, I’d go back to ignoring it. I’d deal with it later.

But then, I had one of those epiphany moments chatting with a good friend at Barnes & Noble. The conversation started innocently enough. We sat among the cozy stacks of books, sipped warm tea, and poured out our hearts. We both longed for the good ol’ days when our lives had a clear purpose and we were living the dream. I’m not sure which one of us asked in a soulful whisper, “When can our life of woe be over, so we can get back to that purpose?”

*Full disclosure* The “soulful whisper” and “life of woe” may be over dramatization. My friend is probably rolling her eyes as she read those words.

But it feels like that, doesn’t it?

I know you know what I mean. Every single one of us at one hard time or another wanted to skip back to happier days.

That’s the problem, right?

We can’t go back any more than we can launch forward to the next happy moment. We have to find a way to cope—dare I say excel—through the rough, unfair, traumatic moments.

And how we choose to handle these moments define who we will become. The victim or the victor.

Back to the epiphany.

In that moment, with the longing to get back to that derailed purpose tasting like triple chocolate lava cake in our mouths, it hit us. We can’t pick up that lost purpose any more than we can turn back the hands of time to become the person we were back then.

In the years since that old purpose, with all the experience, all the growth, all the wisdom I’ve amassed, I am not the same and neither is my friend. Therefore, our purpose cannot be the same as before.

Maybe some echo of it will bubble up—the speaking, the teaching, the laser-focused direction, the dreams of what I could be one day. But it will have a shiny, new spin to it. It will be changed for the better. Or, perhaps the majority of it will die altogether. And that’s okay, because one thing is clear, that new purpose will fit the emerging me, my emerging friend, the emerging you.

And you know what? This realization was a huge relief for us both. It released us from what tethered us to that time and has allowed us to walk forward and embrace who we have become.

This walking forward, accepting what is, and mining out that new purpose is embracing the victor.

This all begs the question, are you the victim or the victor in your life?

Usually, it’s a bit of both. That’s totally normal. But in the spirit of moving forward, answer these questions honestly: What old beliefs, old purposes, old shoulds, hold you back from embracing your life as it is now? And, what hold you back from discovering the purpose that fits you now?

Dare to let go of it. Untether. Be free in the present to be fully you.

Be brave, tell me about your process of purpose in the comments. You just might feel the same release and relief my friend and I did.

2 thoughts on “Life Derailed? How to Renew Your Purpose

  1. So crazy. This last week or two I’ve had ample nostalgic moments that left me pining for past times and people. While some of that is okay, I was feeling the “tether” you mentioned above and contemplating the question of how to be released from that. Your “solution” is SO simple yet SO profound. Perfect timing as usual my friend! Thank you!

  2. This is so good. Purpose is such an interesting thing to me. Do we figure out what it is and do it? Or do we just look around when we’re living our passionate best life and see what it is? This question is a good one. You always write such great stuff!

Be Brave! Tell me what you're thinking . . .

Pins that you’ll love

So I have been dabbling in pinterest the last few months to rustle up some great bible based activities for toddlers and kids.  Here are my favourites at the moment, but be sure to follow me on pinterest to get even more ideas!

Memory Verses using blocks

A simple and easy exercise of helping young ones learn some great bible verse using blocks – they just have to build them up in the right order!

Lion Mask
Who doesn’t love the story of Daniel in the lions den and how God protects us to show his glory to others.  Kids also love pretending to be lions so this mask is genius
Joseph’s coat of many colours
Sam is loving reading his book about Joseph and his brothers (it is a great one for explaining family to him as at the end it says God did all these things so that in the end Joseph’s family would be protected).  And sticking is about his level at the moment, so definitely going to try this one out…

President Obama from Everett Collection / Shutterstock

The Internet exploded in empty rhetoric Monday over Barack Obama’s Congress-short, six years late endorsement of “net neutrality,” an issue that will likely continue to go nowhere fast despite the president’s full-throated tone.

In a statement posted on the official White House website Monday, just two years before he leaves office, Obama said:

I believe the [Federal Communications Commission] should create a new set of rules protecting net neutrality and ensuring that neither the cable company nor the phone company will be able to act as a gatekeeper, restricting what you can do or see online.

Obama urged the FCC to reclassify broadband service as a public utility, making it legally possible for the commission to enforce the basic tenets of net neutrality. To date, the FCC’s attempts to enforce net-neutrality regulation based on other legal authority have faced a skeptical reception in the courts.

The basic idea would be to prevent cable and telecom Internet providers from blocking access to any website or service, throttling delivery speed or charging websites or services for faster delivery speed. The president’s scheme would also require those giants to be transparent with customers about how they’re handling traffic.

Intentions, Meet Politics

Obama’s statement, coming less than a week after voters handed unified control of Congress to the Republicans, produced a depressingly predictable political reaction. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), for instance, called net neutrality “Obamacare for the Internet,” to much Internet hilarity:

Here, of course, “Obamacare” stands as shorthand for “things Republicans don’t like.” In fact, ISP regulation would ideally prevent throttling Internet speed, which the delivery of some websites and services really really slooooooowwwww. You know, like the government.

Neither the president nor Congress have direct oversight over the FCC, but presidential signaling to independent agencies can embolden appointees who are already leaning in that direction. Meanwhile, the Republican Congress may not be about to do much against Obama’s veto, but things could be different under the next president come 2017.

For now, though, the FCC might already be leaning Obama’s way.

According to an Oct. 30 Wall Street Journal story, FCC chairman Tom Wheeler is considering a “hybrid” plan under which ISP service delivered to consumers would remain an information service, which, under the Title II of the Communications Act, gives the FCC very little power. On the other end, the services ISPs provide to content providers, such as websites and services, would be considered a utility, such as water or electricity, and under FCC regulation.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, cautiously optimistic on Monday following the president’s endorsement, reminds us that such a “hybrid proposal” is likely not legally sustainable. Consider that anyone  posts on Facebook is technically a content provider, and you get an idea of how complicated the legalities can get.

Buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

We are in Stagflation

This article was published at

Since the official start of the Credit Crunch in September 2008 a fierce debate has been raging whether we would be facing deflation or inflation. We can now establish that we will have a very toxic combination of both, known as stagflation.

Stagflation is the phenomenon of rising prices while demand in the economy falls as a result of which production tanks. It was first experienced in the late seventies and although it eventually disappeared, there was never given a satisfying explanation for it.

Proponents of both the deflation and inflation hypotheses in the aforementioned debate had strong arguments. Deflationists would say the banks were insolvent and would not be able to provide credit, leading to a diminishing money supply and declining prices. Inflationists would say Central Banking and Governmental policies of bail outs, QE1,2,x and stimulus would lead to more money in circulation, with rising prices as a result.

Both were right, but were missing a crucial key. This key is, that there are two economies. One is the real economy, where you and I operate. We work and make stuff. Cars, food, all sorts of services. And there is also what I would call the financial economy. This is the shadowy world of finance, FOREX, stock exchanges, commodity exchanges. The graph below shows the vast scale of this financial economy, which is many times bigger than the real economy.

Graph by Margrit Kennedy and Bernard Lietaer, based on BIS figures

What we see here is the transaction volume for the financial economy in red and the real economy in green. At this point we are talking about 5 trillion worth of  transactions per day in the financial economy, many times more than in the real economy. We can also see that where the real economy grows in linear fashion, the financial economy grows exponentially. The unexpected decline we see around 2000 is explained by the introduction of the euro, which diminished FOREX speculation. A small price to pay for that giant leap towards World Currency.
It also shows that the financial sector began to exist in earnest only in the early seventies. This is explained by the rise of the computer. Most people won’t realize that even in the early sixties most wages were paid weekly… cash. It is the computer that made it possible for banks to connect everybody to their system. Before then, the administrative load of universally held bank accounts would have been unfeasible. It also explains why stagflation had not been around before the late seventies.

The financial and real economies to some extent interact, primarily via commodity exchanges. But it is very important that the financial economy is largely isolated. A lot of the hot money in the financial economy never reaches the real economy. Thankfully and by design, otherwise the dollar would not even have that meager 1% of the purchasing power it had in 1913. This is so, because for instance FOREX is just an eternal ping pong of transactions within the banking sector, leading to an eternal wealth transfer from the not so savvy to the usual suspects.

The above graph and the fact of two parallel economies also explains why in the last decades price rises were so much lower than the expansion of credit in that time span would suggest: a lot of the newly created money was siphoned off to the financial economy.

With this introduction of the concept of the parallel financial and real economies we can now understand what stagflation is, and why it is the inevitable outcome of the events of the last two years.

What we have is a deflation in the real economy but a massive inflation in the financial economy. What is causing stagflation is that a portion of this hot money is now entering the commodity markets, leading to semi hyperinflation in the primary sector (agriculture and mining). These rising prices there must be passed to producers in the secondary and tertiary sectors (industry and services).

An example of this process were the skyrocketing oil prices in 2009. It has been established that Goldman Sachs was using TAARP funds to drive up prices. Oil prices are not rising because of ‘Peak Oil’. There is no ‘Peak Oil’. There is only the old wine in new bags of ‘artificial scarcity’, which has been the main marketing tool of Big Oil since the days of Standard Oil. Oil prices exploded because of hot money driving it up, not because there is a lack of it.

Another example is the current rise in food prices. Or what to think of JPM cornering the copper market?

The deflation in the real economy is caused by the credit crunch, and transparently and by design exacerbated by the new Capital Reserve Requirements that were foisted upon the banking system by the Bank of International Settlements.
Corporations, especially those that are not part of the Transnational Cartels that are Big Business, are choked by lack of credit and going out of production, with rising unemployment as a result.

It is this combination, deflation in the real economy, strong inflation in the financial economy leaking out via speculation on the commodity markets that causes stagflation.

Inflation does not diminish debt and it does not destroy wealth!
Inflation? Deflation? Stagflation?

  1. I like to describe stagflation as domestic deflation and foreign inflation. We have less money in the domestic economy circulating, and thus, wages and rents decline while prices for commodities rise. Prices for commodities rise because commodities are being demanded in international markets, many with growing money supply and growing economics, and because our money is flowing overseas because of trade deficits and interest payments, including interest payments on national debt.

    • but your point is also valid… the rich are richer and the poor are poorer… we have less real economy and more faux economy in financial capital markets.

    • Yes, I agree with this, it’s probably part of the story.

      The Chinese converting their dollar holdings to more tangible stuff is also a driver.

      • REN permalink

        Money should loop in an economy many times, thus allowing transactions to be consummated at lowest cost. However, our deficit spend money is usually credited to a bank account of unemployed. There it may go on as spend and it buys a good. Unemployed are unlikely to save. That purchased good could be Chinese or any number of foreign items (U.S. centric view here), since the U.S. economy is hollowed out. New money demand stimulates additional imports. The dollar then recycles back from a foreign economy into a domestic T-Bill. A debt insturment (Federal Reserve Note) returns as to buy a debt instrument (TBill), allowing ponzi growth of compounding interest.

        Other deficit spend monies enter the economy and go on to pay down private bank balance sheets. The private debt to GDP ratio is 200:1, mostly due to asset inflation of housing. Delveraging by paying down private debts is creating a balance sheet recession. Flows of money to pay usury or to pay down debts have the same effect as not being available to create demand. The real economy of producers are having their money tokens siphoned away by the game.

        In today’s case, new deficit spend money cycles once in the economy, and drains off to the private banking sector (FIRE sector) for deleverage, or recycles as a debt instrument. It will take a Tsunami of new money to pay off the growing debt claims in financial sector, not to mention the heavy private debts of most citizens.

        The other option is to wipe out debt claims with a jubilee. Good luck with that one.

        Any new money entering the economy just blows through it, not creating wealth or demand in its wake.

        • REN permalink

          Sorry, private debt is 200% of GDP. So, buying down private debts is something economists overlook. They think the private banking sector nulls out to nothing. In other words, Credit Money (Bank Money) returns and becomes a net zero as it disappears into balance sheet. The negative numbers of liability meet the postive number of Credit Money. When they get together they cancel out. But, amazingly, economists don’t consider the usury, which in turn is a function of debt claims.

simple futureIf you’re like 95% of English learners, you use WILL way too much to talk about the future, and “going to” and “gonna” not nearly enough.

The reason for this is that most people don’t really have a clear idea as to how and when to use the other future forms, its pronunciation is more dynamic and difficult to learn, and a lot of teachers and learners exaggerate the importance of grammar and totally deny the validity of GONNA as an appropriate use of the English language.

We recommend that you LISTEN as you read:

WILL is just so simple, easy, but if you use it all the time, it is often too rigid and does not flow well. Native speakers use it far less than most learners, who tend to ignore GOING TO and its colloquial variations “gonna,” and “I’m-uh-nuh.”

Free E-book: 101 Words You Will Never Learn in School

The point is that there’s no valid reason to do this (especially with gonna) because this is how native speakers use the language. In addition, this is one of the must fun, popular, and intriguing uses of the English language, and I highly recommend that you learn to (1) understand it, (2) play around with it, and (3) learn to use it in real life situations.

No matter what your English level, I’m certain that you will learn something  new today, and we’re gonna try to make it as fun as possible.

Today you’ll learn:

  • Different uses of going to
  • How and when to use the colloquial contraction gonna and “I’m-uh-nuh”
  • Real life examples of “gonna” by a middle-class American woman AND her child just starting to learn how to speak (suggesting that this is a natural native speaking tendency that precedes or transcends grammar)
  • Real life examples of “gonna” in a formal interview with Steve Jobs on a financial program on CNBC.
  • Common confusions

To be + going to + root verb is a very common future form in English, and despite its controversial and ambiguous use, it is very simple. We’re going to start off with its basic structure.

Remember, it’s important to have a firm understanding of the basic structure before you work with the colloquial. After you develop the base, observe how native speakers use it, learn to understand, and start imitating them.

“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”

-Pablo Picasso

Basic Structure: To be + going to + root verb

(Note: most native speakers pronounce this goin’-da)

  • I am + going to + learn French.
  • You are + going to + play soccer.
  • He is + going to + have fun.
  • She is + going to + listen to music.
  • It is + going to + rain.
  • We are + going to + read a book.
  • They are + going to + study English.
  • You guys are + going to + call me.

Different Uses of “Going To”

We use “going to” to talk about future situations when there are:

1. intentions and/or plans: This means that there is an intention of doing something in the future (even if you don’t end up doing it or it’s not realistic)

  • I’m going to hang out with Tom on the weekend.
  • I’m going to call my mom tonight.
  • Are you going to read the book I gave you?
  • I’m going to go to New York next year.  (don’t confuse with “I’m going to NY next year)
  • What are you going to do this weekend?

2. Predictions based on evidence:

  • You studied hard. You’re going to do so well on this test!
  • Look at those clouds. It’s going to rain!
  • I did horrible on the test. Mom and Dad aren’t going to like this.

Colloquial Contraction 1: Gonna

“Gonna” is a common colloquial contraction for “going to” (not used in the present continuous). Native speakers (especially Americans) use this in formal AND informal speaking situations, as well as in informal writing situations.

A lot of schools and grammar books teach people that this is not okay to use in formal speaking situations, but native speakers use these all the time. The only place it’s NOT okay is in formal writing (research paper, professional e-mails, etc).

Here are some examples:

  • I’m gonna hang out with my friends (I’m going to hang out with my friends)
  • Are you gonna tell him what you did? (Are you going to tell him what you did?)

How English is Really Spoken: Colloquial Contractions (Wanna, Gotta, Gonna)

American Children Learn GONNA Before Grammar

Another convincing argument for learning GONNA is the fact that native speaking children learn to say GONNA before any notion of grammar. Remember, grammar is here to map out and complement the way we speak, not to control it.

I’m American, and I grew up saying GONNA not as bastardization of the English language, but as A NATURAL EVOLUTION of the way we actually speak. If American children learn to say GONNA as language is emerging, AND later in life, what’s the problem with teaching and learning English like this?

A lot of grammarticians will not like to hear this, which is expected, but watch the video and decide for yourself. If native speaking children are learning to say “I’m gonna marry him,” before any notion of grammar enters their minds, I really have a hard time seeing what the problem is with GONNA.

5 Formal Examples of GONNA in a Steve Jobs Interview

If you still have any doubts about the appropriateness of GONNA in formal American English, have a look at the following formal interview on a financial program on CNBC with Steve Jobs, who was the co-founder, CEO, and chairman of Apple. He changed history and revolutionized several industries. Check for yourself how Steve, and another prominent American businessman, clearly and undeniably use GONNA five times in a 10 minute interview:

  1. (2:06) “and completely change what your expectations are gonna be.” (Jobs)
  2. (6:28) “I think everything’s gonna be just fine.” (Jobs)
  3. (8:08)  “I don’t think the stock scandle’s gonna impact.” (Turner)
  4. (8:12) “earnings are gonna be there.” (Turner)
  5. (9:39) “people are gonna follow him.” (turner)

5 Examples of GONNA in Popular Music

Confusions with the Present Continuous

It is very common for English learners to confuse to be + going to be + verb structure for the continuous with go (example B:). What makes this even more confusing is that sometimes they actually mean the same thing.

Example A: I’m going to go to NY next year (to be + going to + verb- future)

Example B: I’m going to NY next year (present continuous- future- NOT discussed in this lesson)

With this said, the colloquial contraction “gonna” applies to example A above (I’m gonna go to NY next year), but NOT example B (I’m going to NY next year). “Gonna” is never applicable to the present continuous. “I’m gonna to New York” is incorrect.

*Also: going to = gonna, so please note “I’m gonna to go”

Colloquial Contractions 2: “I’m-unna”/ “angunna”

A Contraction of a Contraction- “I’m-unna”: I recently discovered (by analyzing recordings of myself and other native speakers speaking) that native speakers often contract the first person contraction of “I’m gonna” AGAIN to “I’m-unnah” or even angunna.”

  • “’I’m-unna” go to the store. Do you want anything?”
  • “‘I’m-unna” go to the Pearl Jam concert this weekend.

Gonna, I’m-unna, and I’ma

While gonna is very common in informal writing and speaking, we don’t use “I’m-unna” in written English and I would advise not to use it in formal speaking situations. It’s important for English learners to learn to understand “I’m-unna,” and even to play around with it in an informal way, but until you totally master it in a native speaking environments, be very careful using it, because:

  1. As an English learner, it might take some time to learn the right rhythm and entonation.
  2. It’s something native speakers don’t know they do, and it’s not universal.
  3. One could argue that “I’m-uh-nuh” promotes lazy speaking habits and the deterioration of the English language.
  4. Non-native English speakers will most certainly not understand you.
  5. Most grammar-focused English teachers won’t believe you (unless you show them a real example), and will probably not allow it.
  6. Pablo Picasso knows what he’s talking about: “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”

How to Start Using These Now

Learning to understand, play around with, and use “going to,” “gonna,” and even “I’m-unna” to talk about the future, is a dynamic, fun, and essential aspect of English fluency, which, in its essence, is to connect with people. Remember, grammar isn’t fixed in stone. It helps compliment and give structure to what we already do with the language, but as you can see from how children grow up learning to speak, it can’t control the natural evolution of the language.

If you would like to learn more about this topic, here’s an fascinating presentation by distinguished linguist John McWhorter on the history of the English language, the origin of written language, as well as grammar and it’s ambiguous role today.

As you can see, communicating in the future is not as simple as you may have thought, but with the right attitude and tools, it can be a lot more interesting, and with practice, it will improve your communication.

Here are a few recommendations for you to start applying this lesson in your life and start speaking Real Life English Today:

  1. Pay attention to the way native speakers use “going to,” “gonna,” and “I’m uh-nuh” in TV series, movies, music, and any other native speaking media.
  2. Experiment, play around with, and practice using these. If you know any native speakers or highly proficient speakers who use these, ask them for feedback.
  3. Read and Listen in the coming weeks to more installments of “The Future Tense Made Easy,” as we will cover: Will, The Present Continuous, and the Simple Present.
  4. Sign up for our free mailing list and receive updates, free presents, and invites to exclusive chat sessions, parties in different parts of the world, and much more.

Take care!

A Dream Come True: Robyn’s Song

We’re never all good…or all bad.

FaceTweet it!

Rihanna’s been on my mind a lot lately.  I mean, it’s been kinda hard to escape her during these last couple of months and…OK, it’s been hard to escape her during these last couple of YEARS, but lately it seems as if Robyn Fenty is one of only five celebrities that any media outlet wants to talk about.  And matter of fact, her name is still all up in the muphuckin’ mix when they’re talking about two of the other godsdamned four.  So yeah, currently 60% of all pop culture news (read: garbage) is about Rihanna.  Shit, a lot of regular news is about Rihanna right now.  On the real, I heard on NPR that if the Supreme Court had struck down the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that the president was gonna talk that talk, repackage the shit as RihannaCare, and push it right on through Congress.  Yep.

Now properly contextualized, it certainly should not come as a shock that the woman who dominates any media vehicle capable of showcasing an image would also be occupying a lot of real estate in my brain, even without me knowing it.  I mean, that’s the only explanation that I can think of for why she would show up in my dreams, engaged in a loving, committed, and playfully affectionate romance with yours truly.  Well, there’s the fact that she’s a terrifyingly fine ass woman with more sex appeal in her left nostril than most women have in the midst of their most powerful, self-induced orgasms (yep, I’m on to THAT shit), but that’s beside the point.  I am absolutely not a Rihanna stan.  I appreciate her as an artist, as a personality, and as a beauty, but I in no way suffer from the illusion that I possess some kind of personal relationship with Ms. Fenty.

Still, the mental experience of having said relationship felt AMAZESAUCE.  It seemed so real in fact that I decided to write a song about it…kinda.  Actually, “Robyn’s Song” is really a dedication to Rihanna from a dude who has the same experience that I did, but ends up affected in a fundamentally different way.  Instead of saying, “Wow, that was fantastic.  How sad that my real dating life is somewhat less interesting, but I should really get out of bed now,” he wakes up with a heavy heart and a profound longing for a lost love that never was.  He feels deeply for her, wishes nothing but the best for her, and in his heart and mind, he’s truly linked to this unattainable star.  Meanwhile, she’ll remain the object of his unrequited affection from now until Rihanna turns good again, AKA forever.  Ahhh, love: you gorgeous, horrible, heartbreaking thing.

Here’s hoping that you listen to this with the object of your stalking in mind.  Enjoy, and devil fingers salute!

Streams In The Desert

In the summer of 2000, God gave Anne Hibbert and Ruth Lockyer a unique vision to organise a regular event for women, particularly emphasising The Father’s Love. Streams in the Desert is the result - events for women who want to meet with God and find encouragement and spiritual refreshment. ‘The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.' Isaiah 35:1, 2 Streams in the Desert is part of The Well Christian Healing Centre, an independent charity based in Royal Leamington Spa, funded by donations and its own activities.

You may also be looking for "Stagecoach", the mission in Red Dead Revolver.
RDR Screenshot Stage Coach

Stagecoaches are large enclosed wagons, drawn by two or four horses and usually used in the transport of 1-6 people or valuable goods. They are featured in Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption, and Red Dead Redemption II.

Red Dead Revolver

General Javier Diego uses an armored stagecoach to deliver gold from the mine under Bear Mountain to Governor Griffon in Brimstone. The player must destroy this stagecoach during the mission "Sunset Canyon".

"Stagecoach" is also the name of a mission in Red Dead Revolver, however the player actually rides in an open wagon during that mission.

Red Dead Redemption

Stagecoaches in Red Dead Redemption can be driven for transportation or chartered to specific destinations, allowing the player to ride as a passenger. Stagecoaches are distinct from carts, providing shelter from the elements and prying eyes. Stagecoaches can be used in both Single-Player and Multiplayer.

Hired Transport

Stagecoach stops are present in most of the major settlements, represented by an exclamation mark on the map. When the player approaches the stop, the driver will call out to them and one of three options will be presented based on the player's position relative to the stagecoach: (1) Ride as a passenger (if near the sides), (2) Ride shotgun (if near the front, opposite the driver), or (3) Drive (if near the driver). You can not use a stagecoach if doing a bounty mission.

Either of the first two options causes the player to board the stagecoach in the designated seat. After this the player is presented with a list of possible destinations - either other established stagecoach stops or a waypoint previously designated on the map. Once the destination is chosen and the trip begins, the player is given the option to skip to their destination instantly. Alternatively, traveling in a stagecoach gives the player an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the scenery - while riding, options are presented to request that the driver either drive faster or slower.

If "Drive" is chosen, the player will throw the driver from his seat and take over the reins, hijacking the stagecoach. This counts as a crime, giving the player a bounty and causing law enforcement to begin pursuit.

Upon achieving Treasure Hunter Rank 5, hired Stagecoach rides become free of charge. Prior to this, a fee is charged based on the distance traveled.

Stagecoach stops in Nuevo Paraíso use an uncovered wagon rather than the covered coach used in New Austin and West Elizabeth.

Stagecoach Drivers

The following individuals are known to drive the hired stagecoaches:

Personal Transport

Marston can't own a stagecoach as he can horses, but is able to use a stagecoach as personal transport by either stealing one (from an established stop or on the road) or taking over one that is abandoned following a random encounter.

While driving, Marston can fire his weapons from the stagecoach, defending it from attackers or attacking others himself.

Missions and Encounters

In several story missions, Marston must either drive or ride shotgun on stagecoaches. These primarily involve the one owned by Nigel West Dickens.

Stagecoaches are a factor in several types of Random Encounters as well - being attacked by bandits, as the site of an ambush, as the target of a search, and in other ways.

Stagecoaches are available in Multiplayer, and can seat up to six players. They are extremely rare, but can be found:

  • Random encounters in Free Roam on roads. Extremely rare and only in New Austin .
    • The most likely area they are found is in West Elizabeth in the Great Plains (see map)
      .West Elizabeth map

      Red Roads = Roads Stagecoaches Are Often Found On.

  • After completing the Gaptooth Breach Gang Hideout. The stagecoach is directly adjacent to the end of the track along which the player must push the mine cart to complete the hideout. Although the stagecoach is present from the beginning, the option to drive or ride shotgun is not available until the hideout is completed ("Ride as passenger" is available, however, allowing the player to sit inside).
  • In the co-op missions The Escape and The Kidnapped Girl, stagecoaches are used by the co-op team as transport between some mission objectives.

Three of the Multiplayer Stat Challenges involve stagecoaches. Challenges include driving and riding shotgun for certain distances and running over (trampling) a certain number of people.

Tips & Tricks

  • Stagecoaches can be used for protection from animals as well. When driving a stagecoach, animals will neither attack the player nor the horses that pull the stagecoach; in fact some animals, such as bears, run away. Also it helps the player gain cover from attacks.
  • It is possible to release one of the horses while driving over extremely rough terrain or running into stationary objects. These horses can then be ridden independently.
  • If on the road and attempting to shoot some animals or people, don’t worry about the road. The stagecoach horses will always stay on the road, if the player still keeps on target. A waypoint can also be set (Red Cross on the map). As long as the player stays in target mode, the stagecoach horses will continue to move to that point. This works in Multiplayer too. It’s an easy way to kill marshals while Wanted. It does not work with a single horse.
  • The stagecoach floats and can be used to boat down the rivers. It can be launched from several locations and go down rapids and waterfalls,but may drown the horses pulling the stagecoach.
  • All that must be done to float the stagecoach is to steal an American stagecoach (it does not matter if it's the green colored or red colored). There are a few reasons why Thieves' Landing is the best spot to do this: 1) it's right on the water, 2) stealing a stagecoach will not cause you to gain a bounty, and 3) there is a safehouse in town so you can save there in case you mess up and need to try again. First go outside the safehouse and walk across the bridge toward the general store. Next, go and hijack the taxi stagecoach and head out the gate that goes toward Macfarlane's Ranch , immediately turning left. Ride through the trees going parallel to Thieves' Landing towards the San Luis river. On your way to the river I strongly suggest you quickly shoot the 2 horses closest to you and then keep your speed up, avoiding trees and rocks as you go. When the river is in sight, finish off another horse, leaving one remaining (again you must do this quickly to keep your speed up!). Finally, you will fly into the water and your horse will drown. Make sure its body does not get stuck underneath the wheel because then YOU will be stuck. Now, this is why you must keep your speed up: so that you will get launched into deeper water and the stage coach will float over the horse. Once in the water, Marston will fall off automatically and then glitch back on the stagecoach. When on the stagecoach, there are a few things to do like riding over Manteca Falls, or just enjoying the ride. If you try this trick from a ledge down to the river, Marston will be launched from the stagecoach and will die (so choose wisely where you put in). Getting too close to the river's edge can get you stuck, so sometimes throwing dynamite in the water near the shore (and near you) can push your stagecoach away from the blast and into the water. So enjoy your fun on a stagecoach boat!
  • In Multiplayer, if you aim a gun between the horses while your moving and press Start or Select, the stagecoach will move on Autopilot and go on forever in a circle. Best to do to accomplish the Stagecoach travel achievement. Also if you place a marker on the map, the stagecoach will travel to this location.
  • Stagecoach horses cannot be skinned.
  • The picture featured on the back of the Red Dead Redemption game case shows John Marston jumping from a horse onto a stagecoach. However, there is no known way to perform this move in the actual game.

  • Sometimes, in Armadillo if you shoot at the stagecoach driver and then ride shotgun the driver continues as if being chased. He will not ask you a destination and his horses stay at full gallop as if they never get tired. The stagecoach will travel past Mercer Station and then return to Armadillo.
  • Sometimes, a glitch occurs where the player pays a much larger sum than previously negotiated before the ride. This has yet to be fixed as of August 20, 2011. This bug seems to occur when boarding the Green w/ gold trim 'Blackwater Stage Co.' Stagecoach from Manzanita Post in Tall Trees. If you want your money back you can kill the driver and then loot his corpse. The amount of money taken seems to always be five times the amount quoted.
  • In multiplayer, there is a glitch to get into buildings that normally can't be accessed into by positioning the coach against the building with the drivers side closest to it and then shooting one's horses which will force you to jump out and push you through the buildings wall.
  • Sometimes, while riding a stagecoach, when the option to skip appears, if the player aims their weapon and fires it, scaring the driver off, then quickly presses "skip", the game will not load. Other times, it will spawn the player at their destination, still inside the stagecoach, albeit without a driver.
  • In single player, sometimes the stagecoaches will "lag" as if they jump up and down, and the horses won't drag the stagecoach forward. Instead their feet are sunk into the ground, making the stagecoach vibrate heavily. This can affect the missions in Single Player where it is necessary to ride shotgun or drive the stagecoach. It will just fly up in the air when pressing "Skip to destination" for the first time, but will work fine on the second attempt. It can also occur that the mission communications fail, so that the game won't respond to the characters' quotes due to this glitch. The reason for it is trouble in loading the game save, and is yet to be patched after the announcement of a fix for this through Rockstar.
  • When a player crashes into a cactus it will fall.
  • When using the Lewis and Clark Cheat that unlocks all areas, if you chose to go to Blackwater or other places before you unlock them in game the stage coach will flip over and you will fall and the scenery will be blurred. Sometimes Buildings will disappear too.
  • There is a glitch that can occur in multiplayer, in which the stagecoach will appear to have its wheels slightly in the ground and unable to rotate. If that player then drives the stagecoach the stagecoach will slide uncontrollably, similarly to a modern car drifting.
  • Hilariously, if you pay a driver, and board as a passenger, there is a small chance the vehicle will bump into an obstacle, the driver will try to proceed to the destination, if still stuck for 5 seconds, he will disembark the vehicle, and run away, taking your money with him, their stagecoach can be taken without honor loss or a crime involved.

For more Stagecoach and travel-related bugs, please see: Glitches

  • Stagecoaches carried valuables, mail, gold, and luggage more often than passengers.
  • In the early 1910s original stagecoaches were becoming a rarity and were slowly being replaced by the automobile.
  • There are three distinct stagecoaches Marston can find in different regions. New Austin has brown wood stagecoaches with cream striping and in a clearly used, but good condition. Nuevo Paraiso has dilapidated stagecoaches with little protection and in a noticeable state of disrepair. West Elizabeth, however, have dark green painted wooden stagecoaches, in a very good (but again used) condition.
  • There are five individual stagecoaches within the game, the first three mentioned above and the other two being Nigel West Dicken’s signature coach and Allende’s armoured stagecoach with a mounted Gatling Gun. The latter cannot be either driven or ridden on by the player, whilst all previous stagecoaches can.
