Can you believe it? Made me want to ask for my money back!! I mean ... aren't fortune cookies supposed to be inspirational? Isn't there a law somewhere that states that all fortune cookies HAVE to speak to my great beauty or the piles of riches I am going to amass?
After the initial shock ... I did get a chuckle from the fortune cookie I got this evening after an amazing meal at the Mandarin. Hmmm ... sounds a lot like the week I just had!

Busy morning now daylight saving is over, Spin class,(miss sunrise now when I go to the gym) that the time has changed. Beautiful tranquil weather so decided to visit a old spot for a shot. Dogs waiting patiently at home, then to the beach with them for a walk and swim and then a paddle board. Asha my golden joined me on my board for 1/2 the paddle and then jumped off:) Enjoy your week everyone and thanks for visiting my photo stream and your comments:)
Used this place before, but ever day offers different light and I love the tranquil conditions today:) its now blowing a gale outside:)
San Francisco's Golden Gate Fortune Company is one of the city's last remaining handmade fortune cookie companies. Workers take fortune cookie discs from the conveyor belt one-by-one, fold paper fortune slips into them in the shape we've all come to know so well, and then deposit them into the metal bins to their side once cooled. The factory smelled like fresh waffle cones.

Today's fortune from a cookie:
"A dream you dream will come true."
After finishing my series of kitschy Valentines a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to do another series of Blythe photos, when the idea of making pictures to go with fortune cookie sayings popped into my head. There are tons of possibilities for photos, so here we go!
This is Prima Dolly Cassis, wearing the stock coat, boots and headband from Tsumori Spirit. One minute she was reading her fortune, and the next minute *POOF* she was heading to Paris!
FINANCE IN 2030
Technology is transforming finance at breakneck speed, and the pace is only accelerating. Meanwhile, financial incumbents and upstarts are crossing borders as never before. The CEO of America’s most global big bank shares his thoughts on what this means and what the industry—and personal banking—will look like ten years down the road.

Not the usual shot of the the island. The rising sun on the east gradually fills the frame with its majestic light, though not totally, I had to act quickly before the moon fully disappears.
Her fortune said: "People are naturally attracted to you."
"How could a cookie know so me so well?" she wondered.
Today's fortune is brought to you by Blythe Adores Anna Sui, wearing a vintage Kenner Blythe dress. I chose her to be the center of attention in this picture because I too am very attracted to her--she is one of my top favorite Blythe dolls. The Neos in the back are Mermaid Tasha (left) and Winterish Allure (right); the Middies in the front are Cool Pool Lemonade (left) and Lena Elena (right). Fortune Cookie series #2.

My spouse's uncle Elstner Hilton took this photo in Japan between 1914 and 1918.
I do not know whether the man is a fortune teller, but the image suggests it. If anyone would like to offer a different interpretation, I would welcome it.
The Fortune Teller, also known as the Cootie Catcher or Salt Cellar, is one of traditional European origami designs. In different languages, it is known under a variety of yet different names (some examples in the Wikipedia page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_fortune_teller)). This one came as a promotional toy with an EU-related quiz. Unfortunately, the folding instructions supplied were of very low quality and, surprisingly for such a simple model, I think they would be hard to follow by someone who had never folded a Fortune Teller before.
Spotted this classic beauty sitting in a parking lot as I pulled in. I parked a few spots away, excited at my good fortune. I was just about to get out of my car to go snap some pics before it started raining when the owner, wouldn't you know it, (a woman...right on!) came walking through the parking lot and got in her truck. Damn! It appeared as though she might be on her lunch hour, and wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. Sooooo disappointed. So much for timing. :-(
Well...I went into the store and when I came out about 45 minutes later...there was the truck, and the lady was gone! Woohoo!! :-D
The skies were threatening (as you can see in the reflection), so I hurried up and got about 25 shots off before the rain started (which, as it turned out, happened only minutes after this).
Sometimes ya just get lucky. :-)

38/52 Fortune
.
How much do we control what makes a house of our hearts? The good fortune of it all? The goodness it irradiates?
.
I’ve been so blessed with the goodness of life, somehow it feels so easy to fall into a deep sense of solitude, at times. As if being alone would never get easier; as if abandonment is the same thing as loneliness in a way. And it gets so eerily and strangely effortless to forgive numbness with the lack of appreciation for the fortune we end up sowing from life.
.
Today I am ill, but my heart is sincerely full with yesterday. My heart has been feeling lost and a bit betrayed as of late, but yesterday was such an intense day, I end up feeling what I give myself into everyday matters somehow, and that shows me the ship I am sailing might not feel like home just yet, it might never become so, but right now it is making the journey it has to make. The right one I must sail towards to. And that is a kind of fortune I just woke up feeling so appreciative of. Behind a fever and a sore body and mind, there’s an aching heart that is feeling so grateful today.
.
I took literally 5 photos today before I quit terribly frustrated and without caring anymore. Three of those photos were literally me battling with the candles I used to lit this scene. And none of those 5 images were in the slightest anything resembling my initial concept which was to try and use the concept of the fates sisters, which I truly want to come back to one day still. I’m just too tired to care about composition and anything remotely good technically today, so this will have to do today.

TAKE TWO TERABYTES AND CALL ME IN THE MORNING: DATA’S GROWING ROLE IN THE MEDICAL TOOL BOX
At the core of precision medicine is precision: the critical need to hit, square on, a moving target in a body chock full of moving targets. To keep the aim sound, we need more than a steady hand, we need data. Smart data, and lots of it. That imperative has driven much of the innovation—and investment—in the current digital health transformation. Entrepreneurs and corporate leaders are now championing the role of big data in everything from drug development to predictive analytics in cancer diagnosis to hospital systems management—and putting billions of dollars behind these efforts. Do the numbers add up, or is the promise of big data yet another false medical miracle?

Detail of the beautiful mid-14th century canopy of the Percy Tomb on the north side of the high altar. The tomb itself has disappeared and the exact identity of its occupant remains unclear, though Lady Eleanor (d.1328) is considered a likely candidate.

There is a danger of running out of superlatives when trying to describe Beverley Minster. It is not only the second finest non-cathedral church in the country but is architecturally a far finer building than most of our cathedrals themselves! It will come as a surprise to many visitors to find this grand edifice simply functions today as a parish church and has never been more than collegiate, a status it lost at the Reformaton. What had added to its mystique and wealth was its status as a place of pilgrimage housing the tomb of St John of Beverley, which drew visitors and revenue until the Reformation brought an end to such fortunes and the shrine was destroyed (though the saint's bones were later rediscovered and reinterred in the nave). That this great church itself survived this period almost intact is little short of a miracle in itself.
There has been a church here since the 8th century but little remains of the earlier buildings aside from the Saxon chair near the altar and the Norman font in the nave. The present Minster's construction spans the entirety of the development of Gothic architecture but forms a surprisingly harmonious whole nevertheless, starting with Early English in the 13h century choir and transepts (both pairs) with their lancet windows in a building phase that stopped at the first bays of the nave. Construction was then continued with the nave in the 14th century but only the traceried windows betray the emergent Decorated style, the design otherwise closely followed the work of the previous century which gives the Minster's interior such a pleasingly unified appearance (the only discernable break in construction within can be seen where the black purbeck-marble ceased to be used for certain elements beyond the eastern bay of the nave). Finally the building was completed more or less by 1420 with the soaring west front with its dramatic twin-towers in Perpendicular style (the east window must have been enlarged at this point too to match the new work at the west end).
The fabric happily survived the Reformation intact aside from the octagonal chapter-house formerly adjoining the north choir aisle which was dismantled to raise money by the sale of its materials while the church's fate was in the balance (a similar fate was contemplated for the rest of the church by its new owners until the town bought it for retention as a parish church for £100). The great swathes of medieval glass alas were mostly lost, though seemingly as much to neglect and storm-damage in the following century than the usual iconoclasm. All that survived of the Minster's original glazing was collected to form the patchwork display now filling the great east window, a colourful kaleidoscope of fragments of figures and scenes. Of the other furnishings the choir stalls are the major ensemble and some of the finest medieval canopied stalls extant with a full set of charming misericords (though most of these alas are not normally on show).
There are suprisingly few monuments of note for such an enormous cathedral-like church, but the one major exception makes up for this, the delightful canopied Percy tomb erected in 1340 to the north of the high altar. The tomb itself is surprisingly plain without any likeness remaining of the deceased, but the richly carved Decorated canopy above is alive with gorgeous detail and figurative embellishments. There are further carvings to enjoy adorning the arcading that runs around the outer perimeter of the interior, especially the north nave aisle which has the most rewarding carved figures of musicians, monsters and people suffering various ailments, many were largely restored in the 19th century but still preserve the medieval spirit of irreverent fun.
To summarise Beverley Minster would be difficult other than simply adding that if one enjoys marvelling at Gothic architecture at its best then it really shouldn't be missed and one should prioritise it over the majority of our cathedrals. It is a real gem and a delight to behold, and is happily normally open and welcoming to visitors (who must all be astonished to find this magnificent edifice is no more than a simple parish church in status!). I thoroughly enjoyed this, my second visit here (despite the best efforts of the poor weather!).
