Mark and Donna "On The Roof" At Court In The Square
Seattle, Washington
I left Mark and Donna's wedding ceremony on May 2nd with a happy bounce in my step. It brought me great joy to know a couple so incredibly suited to one another and to create and deliver a ceremony that was truly about the two of them and their closest family and friends.
Mark and Donna worked to create a ceremony that celebrated their "tribe" - their children, grandchildren and closest friends. We had tears, we had laughter and there was so much gratitude in the room.
Mark's son, Rob, flew up from Oregon on the morning of the wedding and returned immediately after the ceremony as his wife was expecting their child "at any moment." I got a happy email from Donna the following day letting me know she and Mark were thrilled Grandparents once again!
Photographer Craig Larsen exquisitely captured Mark and Donna during their ceremony and on the "roof" of Court In the Square. I absolutely insist that every couple I marry at Court in the Square take a "roof top photo" - such a delicious memento immediately following a ceremony!
Mark and Donna do it in Vegas on August 31, 2008. A goofy fun time had by all. Thunka very much.

Flashback with Donna Mark, along with Steve Lentz on sax, entertains Vera Kywa's students of ballroom dance at the Yorktowne Hotel, York, PA on New Year's Eve 2010.
The other day I was talking to a woman who has been using a mask as a cleanser every day! It made me think that maybe I should focus my blog more on educating about the different skin care products available. When I see all of the products on the shelves, even I find it confusing!

Title: 60 ho chi minh mao trach dong but tin 3
Bùi Tín: Vâng. Thế mà trong thời kỳ chống Pháp tôi đã gặp đến hàng trăm cố vấn Trung Quốc được gọi là phái viên của Mao Chủ Tịch đến để dạy dỗ, để lên lớp về chiến thuật Lâm Bưu, về vận động chiến, công kiên chiến. Ðến năm 1951 là đại hội đảng lần thứ hai ghi rõ trong điều lệ là "lấy tư tưởng Mao Trạch Ðông làm cơ sở lý luận và tư tưởng cho Ðảng Lao Ðộng Việt Nam".
Cho nên trong Cải Cách Ruộng Ðất có hai mươi mấy nghìn địa chủ bị bắn chết, gần 1 triệu nạn nhân lớn nhỏ cùng gia đình bị ảnh hưởng là cũng do tư tưởng Mao Trạch Ðông. Tư tưởng lúc bấy giờ là lấy bần cố nông làm cốt cán, lấy đấu tranh giai cấp làm động lực, rồi tàn sát địa chủ để giành lại ruộng đất cho nông dân.

Có thời Mao có mặt đậm nét ở nước ta. Hầu như nhà nào cũng có ảnh Mao. Ở cơ quan, ảnh lớn của Mao cạnh ảnh lớn của Staline là bắt buộc. Sách của Mao chiếm vị trí hàng cao nhất trong mọi thư viện và tủ sách. Mâu thuẫn luận, Thực tiễn luận, Trì cửu chiến, Bàn về chủ nghĩa Dân chủ mới... của Mao được coi là sách kinh điển. Rồi Mao Trạch Ðông tuyển tập, Sách bìa đỏ cầm tay, huy hiệu Mao đỏ chót, nhỏ hay có khi to bằng miệng bát có mặt khắp nơi.
Biết bao bài thơ ca ngợi Mao, từ Tố Hữu, đến Hoàng Trung Thông, Bảo Ðịnh Giang, rồi Xuân Diệu, Huy Cận, Tế Hanh, Lưu Trọng Lư ...Mao là mặt trời, là cưú tinh, là ngôi sao sáng nhất, là cây đại thụ, là ngọn hải đăng, là người Ông hiền từ, là người Bác nhân ái, là vị lãnh tụ anh minh. Ðoàn nhà văn Việt nam thăm Hồ Nam, đoàn Văn công quân đội sang Bắc kinh quay phim Xô viết Nghệ Tĩnh được gặp Mao, những bài báo, luận văn kể lại được nhìn thấy Mao, được cầm tay Mao, được tận tai nghe được lời Mao nói, được nhận một điếu thuốc từ tay Mao là những nỗi niềm hạnh phúc quý báu nhớ đời.

Tài liệu bằng tiếng Việt đầu tiên và duy nhất lưu hành ở Hà Nội, nói về việc Hồ Chí Minh gia nhập Hội Tam Ðiểm có lẽ là sách Nguyễn Ái Quốc tại Pari 1917-1923, Nxb: Thông Tin Lý Luận ấn hành năm 1989, tác giả là bà Thu Trang. Trong sách nầy, bà Thu Trang viết rằng: "Theo một mật báo đã ghi ngày 14 tháng 6 năm 1922, Nguyễn Ái Quốc được chấp nhận vào Hội Franc-Maçonnerie (Tam điểm)..." (tr. 201.)

Theo gia phả Thượng tọa Thích Chân Quang cũng là cháu gọi ông Hồ bằng Bác và lẽ dĩ nhiên cũng là anh em chú bác dù chưa được phép nói ra với ông Nông Ðức Mạnh.
Xây dựng một vài huyền thoại xung quanh lãnh tụ tuy không nói ra nhưng chắc chắn đảng CSVN lưu tâm đến yêu cầu này. Cũng có thể ngay ông Hồ cũng muốn có sự lưu tâm này, hay nói cách khác chính ông là tác nhân của những huyền thoại này cũng nên?
Sau ngày 2 tháng 9 năm 1945, có một cuốn sách mỏng viết về sấm Trạng Trình đã được lưu hành trong dân gian với những câu chuyện bằng thơ vận vào ông Hồ như là một thiên mệnh với chức năng tiếp sức sự nghiệp chính trị của ông và lẽ tất nhiên cũng là cho chính đảng CSVN. Có một câu sấm được lưu truyền ở đất Nghệ Tĩnh mà qua đó người ta đã thần thánh hóa nó và ghép cho nó ứng nghiệm vào ông Hồ như là một vị thánh ra đời để cứu dân cứu nước.

Hồ Chí Minh đã học được ở "Lenin vĩ đại" hai điều và đã đem áp dụng vào đời sống bản thân của ông lúc về Hà Nội.
Ngày 2/09/1945, bỗng nhiên Hồ Chí Minh xuất hiện trong bản tuyên ngôn giành độc lập và tự xưng "cụ" với toàn thể quốc dân, mặc dù lúc bấy giờ ông mới có 55 tuổi (lấy theo năm sanh 1890).

Vì quá chán ngán như vậy nên nói về ông Hồ là chuyện bất đắc dĩ. Thế mà vẫn phải nói vì cây muốn lặng mà gió chẳng đừng. Gió ở đây là cái đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam đương hồi bí rị. Câu thần chú "Chủ nghĩa Mác-Lênin bách chiến bách thắng muôn năm" thì dù có dày mặt cách mấy cũng không thốt ra được nữa nên họ cứ lôi ông Hồ ra để hè nhau...nghiên cứu. Vô hình chung họ đã biến ông Hồ thành cái đích cho thiên hạ "trút bầu tâm sự".

By: Scott Patterson Dating can be tough on many guys!
This is especially true when it comes to attracting women. The problem is guys tend to make many mistakes that they're not even aware of.
For instance, I was recently at a bar where I noticed a guy talking to an attractive woman. What's interesting was this guy was giving off confident body language, while not being aware that she was not interested in him. In essence, he was clueless about his ability to "pick-up this chick".
You could easily tell from the bored look in her eye, that she was looking for an opportunity to get away from this loser.
What's funny was he was actually a decent looking, well dressed guy. So obviously his problem wasn't his presentation. Instead he was doing a few things which were instantly turning her off and killing ANY chance of attraction
If he knew about these mistakes, and corrected them, he could have easily attracted this woman.
Now if you want to NOT be like this man, then I recommend you take a close look at these 4 MAJOR dating mistakes:
Dating Mistake #1- Not reading her body language
You can discover what a woman is feeling by observing her body language. Without saying a word, a woman will tell you when she's attracted or when she's repulsed.
Your job is to study her body language and calibrate. For instance if you see a bored look in her eye, then you know that you have to switch tactics and change the topic of conversation. Dating Mistake #2-Buying her affections with free drinks
One of the quickest ways to show lower status is to buy a woman a drink. Let me explain...
When you buy a woman many drinks, you're showing that you need to purchase her attention in order to start a conversation. While sometimes it's polite to buy a round, don't try to please her by constantly buying her drinks.
What's interesting is lots of other guys are great for making women drunk, but they're doing nothing to attract them. By buying drinks, they're simply making it easier for some other guy approach and pick them up. Dating Mistake #3- Acting too arrogant
One of the principles I recommend in my ebook is to act in an overconfident manner. But even though this personality trait is important, you should realize that acting TOO arrogant is just as bad.
While women love men with a good amount of confidence, having too much is an instant turn off. This means if you're dominating the conversation and bragging about your accomplishments, you're demonstrating a specific type of behavior which infuriates women.
In order to impress a woman, all you need to do is display confidence through your actions and body language. If give off a confident aura, you don't have to open your mouth to prove it.
Dating Mistake #4-Being a clown
Well know that many women are attracted to guys "with a sense of humor". However it's a mistake to act like a clown and try to do funny things around women. While it's important to be funny, it's equally vital to never look like a fool.
Being funny does nothing for building attraction.
Instead of trying to make her laugh, try using a technique which is known as "cocky/funny". This personality trait means focusing on teasing a woman with a bit of mock arrogance. Basically you're a funny guy who likes to bust a woman's chops about various things.
By being able to identify all of four of these dating mistakes, you'll be able increase your overall success with women. So your job is to quickly identify these mistakes and make a concerted effort to eradicate them!

Title: 16-bit ALU in minecraft
This is the first part of a planned 16-bit computer that will run entirely in minecraft. That computer will be "Hack" compatible, which is to say that it'll run code meant for the Hack machine described in The Elements of Computing Systems (a fantastic book that you should look up if you are at all interested in how computers work. Its website is http://www.idc.ac.il/tecs ).
Some more info:
The design was drawn up in a program called Redstone Simulator (does what it says on the tin), which was written by Baezon on the Minecraft Forums http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=17924
MCEdit ( http://minecraftforums.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=15522 ) was used to help clear off space and import the design into minecraft. Hours of experimenting with prototypes, modifications to the design, and debugging took place in the game itself, however.
This project is far from over. Memory, here I come...

A funny thing may happen to a bride or groom on the way down the aisle ~ or when a wedding ceremony begins...wedding ceremony anesthesia!
Really!
A wedding ceremony is a big emotional event. Knowing this, I often write for "moments" as moments and the "feeling" of a ceremony are what a couple and their family and friends will remember in the coming years, not the actual words.
As you plan your ceremony, here are three quick tips to "remember more..."
1) Slow Things Down. Elegant humor in the first minute or two of a ceremony relaxes everyone and "grounds a couple" to remember more of their ceremony... Memo and Kristin (in the photo above) are a great example of this. They mixed the sacred with elegant humor and created great ceremony memories for their wedding day at Shilshole Bay Beach Club.
2) Don't Over Practice. Rehearsals are terrific and at the same time, spontaneous moments create lifetime memories that "planning tactics" can't replicate.
3) "Focus On Each Other" ~ I encourage a couple to "focus on the other" during the ceremony - and by doing so, the rest of the world hopefully fades away a bit.

The Purpose, Planning and Packing your Bug-Out-Bag 1/3
This video series goes over information concerning the 'Bug-Out-Bag'. For those just starting out this will give you a good idea on the basics of building your own BOB.
the Bug-Out-Bag
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug-out_bag
Ten Essentials
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Essentials
BOBs are not new but are gaining popularity as ppl understand that they need to be responsible for the safety of themselves and their family members. Lots of info on BOBs can be found on the internet but you need to build your BOB for you, your location and the possible emergencies you might face. Many ppl cannot spend lots of money on their BOB, so the information here is geared toward those who dont have a lot of money &/or those who are just beginning to gather information on what a BOB is and how it is to be used in conjunction with various survival skills. You can have the most expensive and high tech BOB but if you cannot use the items to survival (IOW you have little or no skills) then your BOB is worthless.
A BOB is not just a bag of stuff, but tool to help you survive in an emergency. The greatest tool you have is you and your abilities to evaluate your situation, build a BOB and practice using it so your confident in your abilities and equipment. Remember this is just an introductory look and not an all inclusive video series.
I hope this helps.

Youtube user abcd827 proved how much of a Patriot he was today by sending Pabst this touching letter,
To whom it may concern,
As an American citizen, I'm proud to say that PBR is the most American beer on the market today. Yuengling may be America's oldest, but who graces their container with the colors of our great country? You do.
Recently I saw a Youtube video that was a commercial spoof. It featured a young man named Tom Raper. Even though his commercial would never be fit for real advertisement, I think that him and his outfit would. If you take a minute to look him up on Youtube, please consider him, because I believe that he would be a great spokesman for the brand.
Sincerely,
A Conservative, Republican, American.
If you follow his Patriotic example and send PBR a similar message, and send us a message saying you did, we will mention your name along side other true American's in this youtube video.
You can contact PBR here, http://www.pabstblueribbon.com/Contact.aspx
