My Apologies

Hey everyone, as if anyone actually reads any of what I post. I'm writing just to get things off my chest anywho and possibly help the someone who stumbles upon my multi media bouncing betty. I'm attempting to stay in shape/train for a biathlon by commuting to work. This is quite an undertaking since I'm over 20 miles from my job and have to travel at crazy hours. None the less I'm going to start small traveling to the subway. I've already taken the entire trip on a practice run with no ill effects and lingering pains. Thank God for blogs of which there are many concerning bike commuting. I'm learning much and gaining a new respect for the people I used to look at weirdly out through my window on the way to work. that's it, C U L8R

Just a question, since it has been shown that a woman's purse speaks volumes about the woman who owns it; what would the purse's counterpart in a man's world that tells a story about him? That is if the purse actually has a male counterpart, seriously.

The Future of Books

I have to say that I was blown away by the amazing nature of the thought that went into IDEO's creativity in their newest three iterations on the "Future of Books." I am glad I was sitting down because of all three ideas the one that excited me most as an avid reader and writer was the "Alice" interactive book. Please enjoy being blown away when you watch the video. I can't seem to copy the video so you'll have to copy the url address and paste it onto your command line to view it. It's well worth the effort. Enjoy http://vimeo.com/15142335

Crazy for Watches


Hey there, yeah I know it's late. I just had to say it out loud that I'm crazy gaga, not Lady, about watches. Yes I'm sure that I'm getting onboard late but I've discovered a new favorite and that is designer Richard Mille. I can't stop thinking about them. Is it petty I think not. Everyone's differnt and this is what floats my boat and I'm not ashamed, if fact I'm proud. Watches to me are utter and complete art! The fact that these beautiful creations are indeed functionally sublime is icing on the cake. that's it! have a great night, what's left of it.

NFL 2010 Season Sunday Kick Off

I'm sorry that I didn't get around to writing anything yesterday. I have to admit that church and football ate up all of my day. I went to church, came home helped clean the house in a frenzy prior to the "Teen Parents" meeting that was taking place at us. I then went upstairs with all the girls, my daughters and proceeded to watch an ugly NY Giants win over the Carolina Panthers. I fell asleep and awakened all alone to the Green Bay game in progress. The highpoint of the day the Dallas Loss! Sorry I have an obnoxious Big D Cowboys fan at work who loves to mouth off prior to playing the game. Inevitably he has to hang his head on Monday morning hiding from everyone, least he be berated by happy haters.
On another topic, I'm reading this great book called "The Other 8 Hours" by Robert Pagliarini. I have to recommend it wholeheartedly. It has inspired me to get off my duff and get going on my dreams of being a hit TV show writer. Cheers to all who are reading this, it means that you have many things to be thankful for. God bless U all!

I Believe - A 9/11 Tribute

9/11 My Generations "Pearl Harbor" Memorial

As we "hopefully" all take a moment of silence in memory of all those loved ones lost in the wanton vicious attack on the towers, the Pentagon & at Shanksville along with every single armed service personnel that has been lost since my personal silence is for my cousin who was a security guard in Tower #1, Mr.Godwin Forde. As I mourn the loss of him and numerous others that I knew who perished that awful day; I am thankful to God Almighty for all my other friends that were sick, late or otherwise delayed that day and spared. I thank God for the fact that the tower fell straight down as opposed to like timber being felled which would have been geometrically more devastating in the loss of life. Though this does not lessen the pain and devastation of a single life lost; I am thankful. As I pray for all the families still coping,still damaged,still searching for closure I offer you all Jesus as the answer. As a Christian disciple of Jesus Christ myself I can testify that I fall down on my knees and give all my sorrow and grief which is too much for me to bear to Him who is able to take it up put it upon His shoulders and carry it to Heaven. I do not know what the future holds but I do know who holds the future and His name is Jesus. Please consider making Him your Lord and Savior while you still have today. If you would like to know how then just write me back here at the blog. Thank You for your time and may God Bless You All.

Dear People, I'm just waiting for Game #3 Celtics vs Magic to begin as I take a break letting my daughter watch "Wonder-Pets" while I post a little rant. I was wondering how many of you,as though there's a multitude of people that actually read this rag, think that happiness is a state of mind. I"m having a crisis defining "happiness"itself. What is happiness? Is it peace? What is peace? It's got to be different for everyone, no? Many people would say K.I.S.S. waking up is happiness and everything else is gravy! Then for those who, like myself have a problem with that being enough, are we greedy? or worst yet SELFISH!?? Is it OK to have a dream of wild success in screen writing or being a self help weight loss guru? How, for the Christian out there is it possible to be sure that your dream is in line with the will of God? OH YEAH I said the "G" word!!!!!!! Let me know what you think, please. ttyl, ed.

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

New Dome Is Prepared to Contain Leaking Oil
After a 98-ton steel containment dome failed to stop a leak that continues to pour oil from a runaway well in the Gulf of Mexico, BP executives said on Monday that they would take another attempt at stemming some of the flow later this week with a far smaller containment device. An estimated 5,000 barrels of oil a day has been spilling into the gulf since the April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig leased by BP 50 miles offshore. Ever since, the company has tried one highly technical maneuver after another with little success. Heavy winds and choppy seas became another challenge on Monday, with workers on cleanup vessels forced to wear respirators to protect themselves from fumes coming from burning the oil slick. “This is a very challenging environment to work in,” Doug Suttles, BP’s chief operating officer for exploration and production, told reporters at a briefing in Robert, La. With no chance of capping the well in the next few days, the company was left with few options except shooting a chemical dispersant from a remote-controlled submarine robot into the thick of the leak, 5,000 feet under the gulf. The company used the dispersant last week, but suspended the operation so the Environmental Protection Agency could begin to test the potential impact on the environment. Workers began spraying the dispersant again Monday, and BP executives said they had successfully broken up much of the oil and kept much of it from reaching the surface. In another containment effort, National Guard helicopters in Louisiana’s Lafourche Parish dropped sandbags onto outlying island beaches on Monday in an attempt to safeguard the area’s wetlands. BP executives concede that containment has been easier than plugging the leak, which must be the ultimate solution to the problem well. Officials had hoped that a four-story, 98-ton containment dome deployed over the weekend would funnel 85 percent of the leak from the riser pipe to a pipeline connected to a containment ship. But it became clogged by an unexpectedly high buildup of gas hydrates, crystal structures that form when gas and water mix in the low temperatures and high pressures of deep ocean waters. The new hope is that a far smaller, two-ton container, known as a top hat, will capture less seawater, eliminating some of the risk of hydrate formation at its opening. But Tony Hayward, BP’s chief executive, acknowledged on Monday that due to the container’s much smaller size, “It’s unlikely to be as effective in capturing all the oil.” The E.P.A. has also given BP permission to inject methanol into the containment dome as the equivalent of antifreeze in another effort to keep the gas hydrates from clogging the system. The containment vessel will be lowered while still attached to a drill ship. Kent Wells, a BP senior vice president for exploration and production, compared the operation to “heart surgery under 5,000 feet” of water. The work is monitored around the clock from a crisis management center at BP headquarters in Houston, where BP technicians, along with technicians from other oil companies and government officials, view a bank of three-dimensional seismic images transmitted to them by the submarine robots. As early as next week, the company is preparing to execute a technique called a “junk shot,” reconfiguring the crippled blowout preventer above the well and injecting golf balls, pieces of rubber tire, knots of rope and other materials to choke off the well.

The Sphinx
Why the inscrutable Elena Kagan makes everyone nervous.
By Dahlia Lithwick
Posted Monday, May 10, 2010, at 2:01 PM ET

Supreme Court nominee Elena KaganNow that Elena Kagan is officially the White House's Supreme Court nominee, pundits have launched themselves into their CSI-worthy project of sorting through tiny filaments of evidence for her true ideological views. With no judicial record to pore over, and some of the wonkiest law-review articles ever penned to her credit, Kagan has mastered the fine art of nearly perfect ideological inscrutability. Even Jeffrey Toobin, her law school study partner, has virtually no idea what she really believes. That only makes us more determined to sift through the dry-cleaning slips and the Post-it notes to try to guess at who the real Elena Kagan might be. And since she has been hard to know, we struggle to find someone else we might compare her to. Paul Campos, a law professor at the University of Colorado, has (fairly ridiculously) compared Kagan to Harriet Miers. Andrew Cohen has compared her to Chief Justice John Roberts.

NY METS Tix for the Rain Out @ Citi Field Mon


Here they are, those beautiful tickets that were to ensure a wonderful MLB experience in the newest stadium in NY Citifield; but alas it was not to be. It rained and less than the prior day when the game was called in the 5th inning. I got all the way to the stadium parked 1/2 mile away near the Arthur Ashe stadium and sloshed through the muck and mire to hear the bad news over the loudspeaker. I can only blame myself for the oversight of not reading the ticket after I went back to the stadium the following day just before game time of the doubleheader to have a security person point out the fine print that stated "No Rain Date." So back on the 7train and sadly home. Ironically that day the Mets won both games and took over 1rst Place in the NL. Cest La Vie! Maybe next time.

This is what I was looking at this morning. I think that if I just took to applying this passage to my life one line at a time, I would have enough character work to last me the rest of my life. I am praying for wisdom. Verses 19 & 20 alone would change the world forever myself included. I pray for the humility necessary to be wise, Dear Lord hear my prayer. Amen.

James 1 (NASB)
James 1

Testing Your Faith
1 James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.
2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;
10 and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.
11 For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.
12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive he crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.
14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
18 In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by The word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.
19 This you know, my beloved brethren But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;
20 for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
21 Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.
22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;
24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.
27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Change

I am sitting here contemplating change. I've heard that many of the situations that we are plunged into are not so that we can have an effect upon them but the opposite, so that we can be effected by them; for the better. Often the beginning of a thing seems to be terrible yet in the end as we look back at it we may even be apt to call it a blessing. I heard Michael J. Fox call his disease a blessing the other day. He said it was not always so but after so many years it has become one to him. His disease has not changed it was always the same. What changed? Obviously the man's perspective for over the years the degree of difficulty had reached it's zenith. Like a butterfly coming out of it's cocoon must struggle mightily to push through the tiny opening so that all of the fluids can be pushed to the necessary regions like the wings and thorax thus shaping the insect and enabling it to fly. It comes through completely metamorphosized changed forever by this epoch transition. Like Joseph with his coat of many colors who went through so very much mental and physical trauma saw that what seemed for him to be bad was, with a different perspective, one borne of the struggle showed him that it was for a much greater good; the survival of an entire race of people. I write all of this to selfishly encourage myself not to give up but to have faith that the struggle I am going through is not in vain but to change me so that I may be a vessel worthy of honoring God it some way yet not revealed to me if ever. Like Nelson Mandela, not that I am comparing myself to him, it can be how you struggle that is the goal. Maintaining one's dignity through the trials, having faith in the face of adversity may in itself be if nothing else an inspiration to other telling them to "hang on." The bible says that we must like silver be tested. Silver is heated up until all of the impurities in it float to the top so that the silversmith can scrape them off leaving only a shining purity so pure that the silversmith can see his own reflection the silver. We too should persevere while the in the heating process allowing our own impurities rise to the top so that the Master can scrape them away leaving behind only a spirit that will reflect the face of God to all whom we might meet.
James 1:2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:12
12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

So I say to you all. know that the God of Abraham and Issac, the apostles and those who now believe Loves you and is with you. Have faith, persevere stand firm and overcome.
