Just to avoid any misunderstanding: I DO support Barack Obama!! It's up to you whether you find it tasteless, funny, provocative... just wanted to share this with you. Seen in the showcase of the Apollo Braun store at 193 Orchard Street, NY 10002, Lower East Side.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me.
A small dough-misunderstanding meant we had twice as much pizza as any normal human could eat this evening.
Is there such a thing as too much pizza? And is pizza legit breakfast food?
Mmm. Pizza.

Es ist da der Wunsch, vielleicht auch ein Sehnen das einem tiefen Gefühl entspringt, dieses Gefühl lebt in uns allen. Es rollt, es dreht sich in uns, es versetzt uns in Bewegung, macht uns blickend macht uns laufend, immer schneller. Die Zweige, welche uns entgegenragen können gar nicht heftig genug auf unsere adrenalindurchtränkten Arme peitschen, wenn wir bis zu den Knien im Schlamm uns durch das Holz schlagen.
Im waldspezifischen Widerstand, ertränkt sich alsbald unweigerlich unser Wollen, dieses gnadenlose, schöne Ist mit unseren Tiefen zu vereinen, in eben dem was uns entgegensteht.
Und dann bleibt uns die Frage in die Rinde geritzt. Leuchtend.

This is an example of how important education is. I assume that the owner of the truck has no idea of how possibly offensive the name of his truck is. My guess is that his name is Enrique, and that he is a immigrant. As an immigrant, he may not have made it very far in the Mexican public school system, and as such not have realized that the proper spelling of his nickname in Spanish would be "Quique". Compounding this error is his lack of the Anglophone context, in which "Kike" is a slur
Alternatively, I could be completely wrong, and the owner of the taco truck may simply be an antisemitic purveyor of Mexican food.
From immigration and murder rates to how fat we are, people nearly always get the numbers wrong.
But what does this mean for modern government? How does government work for people who have a shaky grasp of reality? And what can we do about it?

I felt sad last night because of some SL misunderstanding, so I decided to take a few pictures.. they ended up being sad looking ones...
Laxmi Shrestha was a friend of mine. Our friendship lasted just for two months. We had some basic misunderstanding and parted.
Juan to Mary: Hey, you bought me a beer, let me get a picture with you.
Juan to Demetri: Hey, what's your girls name?
Demetri: Misunderstanding Juan: Mary
Juan: Hey, this is Mary (pointing at Jodi)
Demetri: No, that's Mary.
I don't know if I will ever be able to describe the feeling I had today when a good friend called me to let me know that Ryan had passed away during his sleep .
Its finally starting to set in but I am still waiting for somebody to say its a misunderstanding or a joke gone bad.
Jen & I will miss you and your kindness Ryan .
A WW2 Generals controversial behaviour. His battlefield genius garners him fear and respect from the Germans, and resentment and misunderstanding from the Allies. The film won 7 Oscars.

Some days ago I met a group of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). CP is defined as damage to the part of the brain that controls movement. Areas of the brain, which define a persons intelligence are mostly not affected by CP - a common misunderstanding. Still those with CP are very often stigmatized and shunned.
I am that I am ..... could there be any other reason?
(*) I am that I am: (Hebrew: אהיה אשר אהיה) is a translation of the response God used in the Bible when Moses asked for his name (Exodus 3:14).

Fam. Asparagaceae Juss. 1789
Subfam. Agavoideae Herb. 1837
Probably a 'short-day' plant, it begins to bloom usually until September / October, never in the period from May to July! This year these starts to bloom very early! An flower initiation at this Yucca I never observed if was a day length 15 hours or a night length of less than 9 hours.
Yucca x vomerensis C. Sprenger in Cat., 1901
In his "Mitteilungen über meine Yucca-Hibriden und -Formen" (Mitt. Deutsch. Dendrol. Ges. Nr. 29: 119. 1920) he wrote:.
"Yucca aloifolia x gloriosa gave me a large number of seedlings, but among themselves mostly very consistent, so that one could call them without further ado, one and all as 'vomerensis'."
Yucca x glorifolia nom. nud.
(not an valid name, and there can be misunderstandings because also used for Y. gloriosa x recurvifolia hybrids)
In the Botany of the Bermudas by H. B. Small, 1913, is listed
Similar forms are also called Yucca gloriosa 'aloifolia form'.
The fruits of these, although, among other features, forming the typical crown, but are shorter and less drooping than typical fruits of both, Y. aloifolia or gloriosa. Whether this is only because of the lack of heat? Or maybe it's a different hybrid combination than expected!
Aaron threw a "rat pack" party. Meaning he wanted people to get dressed up and fancy pants. Jed thought he said "brait pack", so he dressed up like James Spader. That was OK with me.

Original. cardstock, xacto knife, white glue, and lots of pent up emotion...
This is not a pretty one, folks. But it IS how I was feeling, so... This Papercut is actually called "The Work Of Stress And Misunderstanding: Exploding Heart And Frazzled Nerves" but for short I call it "Exploding Heart".
So... That was my morning yesterday. I had no words, and this was my "talk" with Jesus. I was shaking and going berserk inside, but once I completed this... Well, let us just say that I was more open to letting God soften my heart once again. Sometimes, I let my pride, my justifications, my "I am the right one" attitude just take over and harden my heart. It makes me nervous, tense, and it makes me feel and act just awful. There was a situation that started the night before that just had me seething, but I closed up and pent it up allowing it to sprout bitterness and more anger and lots of "dagger" looks to use the next morning. A "do not disturb" sign was posted on my heart, my mind, and my soul... I shut out everyone, even God. That is how fed up and angry I was. I knew I was wrong. Hello, I shut out my Jesus, the only one who could help me and bring relief to the situation.
In a desperate attempt to begin at least opening the slammed doors of my heart, and knowing I needed to express it all in SOME way, I did this cut. After it was complete, I immediately remembered, "I am SO nothing good without Jesus." I have hit rock bottom in my emotional, spiritual, physical world before ... 2005 was my year. I saw myself at my worst and I know I could not live through that again. I do not EVER want to see that person that I became again. I hurt my family, friends, anyone near me at the time. I am ashamed to even admit it. But... I serve a faithful and merciful God. He heard the deepest cries of my heart. He read the hidden messages of my mind, and He took the little cracks of opportunities to remind me of His great and awesome love for me.
This is what I remembered yesterday morning. I am nothing good without Jesus. But if I allow Him even just a teeny crack He is able to slowly pry my heart open, with my consent of course, to let in His peace, His joy, His hope, His grace, His comfort, etc... into my heart, mind, and soul once again.
Please, let Him in... You will NOT regret it. Jesus loves you, and He wants your heart, your emotions, your soul so He can protect it, preserve it, and grow His beautiful seeds in it. That is when you will find true happiness, true joy, true peace, true love and acceptance, and anything else you are looking for...
Be blessed, and know... I have prayed that each person who reads this entry can be heart-touched in a special way today.

Nakhon Pathom is a small province located just 56 Km's. from Bangkok. The province features an ancient religious structure called Phra Pathom Chedi, the first religious landmark that signified the influx of Buddhism into Thailand. Nakhon Pathom is also renowned for its abundant fruits varieties and famous dishes. Phra Pathommachedi or Phra Pathom Chedi is a Stupa in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. At 120.5 metres ( 395 ft ) it is the second tallest stupa in the world after Jetavanaramaya in Sri Lanka. The Stupa is located in the Wat Phra Pathommachedi Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan a temple in the town centre of Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.
The name Phra Pathommachedi means the first holy stupa, given by king Mongkut. Originally the Stupa named Phra Thom Chedi means the big stupa in ancient Khmer language or the royal stupa in Northern Thai language. One of the common misunderstandings about this stupa is that Phra Pathommachedi is the oldest and the first stupa in Suvarnabhumi, an ancient name of Southeast Asia. Modern Historians believe that the stupa was one of the principal stupas of ancient Nakhon Pathom, the largest settlement of Dvaravati culture in Nakhon Pathom area together with the nearby Phra Prathon Chedi during the 6th to the 8th centuries.
Nakhon Pathom was situated by the sea, the city prospered during the Dvaravati civilisation. According to archaeological findings, Nakhon Pathom was the first city to possess influences of Buddhism and Indian civilisations. From the Phra Pathom Chedi and other remains discovered in the city area, it is believed that the city was a centre of civilisation in that era. People of different races settled in Nakhon Pathom. However, a change in the course of the river caused a draught that forced the people to migrate and settle on the banks of river, and these communities developed into towns. The new town was called Nakhon Chaisi or Sirichai, leaving Nakhon Pathom deserted for hundreds of years until the reign of King Rama IV. While His Majesty was in monk hood, he travelled to Nakhon Pathom and found the Phra Pathom Chedi that he regarded as the largest pagoda of all.
When King Rama IV ascended to the throne, he commanded that a bell shaped Chedi be built to cover the former Chedi. The surrounding area was also renovated and improved. He also commanded that a water canal be dug to ease commuting, which was called Chedi Bucha canal. During the reign of King Rama V, the construction of railways to the south began, at that time Nakhon Pathom was still a heavily forested area. King Rama V also commanded that the town be relocated from Tambon Thana, Amphoe Nakhon Chaisi, to the Phra Pathom Chedi area as it used to be. Nakhon Pathom has been there ever since. During the reign of King Rama VI, a palace was built at Tambon Sanam Chan as a temporary residence on his travels and many roads were constructed. A large bridge was also built over the Chedi Bucha canal, which His Majesty named “Saphan Charoensattha”. Later, he commanded that the name of Nakhon Chaisi be changed to Nakhon Pathom, but the name of the prefecture was still called “Nakhon Chaisi” until the reign of King Rama VII when the calling of the prefecture was ended. Nakhon Chaisi is now one of the districts in Nakhon Pathom.
Nakhon Pathom covers an area of 2,168 square kilometres or 542,081.6 acres. It is divided into seven administrative districts or Amphoe, they are: Amphoe Muang Nakhon Pathom, Amphoe Buddhamonthon, Amphoe Sam Phran, Amphoe Nakhon Chaisi, Amphoe Bang Len, Amphoe Kamphaeng Saen, and Amphoe Don Toom. Most of the areas are plains with no mountainous land, plateau are found in the west east of Amphoe Muang and Amphoe Kamphaeng Saen. The plains along the Tha Cheen River (Nakhon Chaisi River) are the location of Amphoe Nakhon Chaisi, Amphoe Sam Phran, and Amphoe Bang Len. These fertile lands provide agricultural area for people, thus most of the residents earn their living from agriculture; plantations, farming, growing food crops, and fruit orchards. Moreover, Nakhon Pathom is well known for pomelo, some call the Nakhon Pathom the sweet pomelo town.
Sampran Riverside, Km. 32 Pet Kasem Highway, Sampran, Nakhon Pathom 73110, Thailand
About one hour drive from Bangkok is the Rose Garden and Cultural Centre. It is situated at Sampran in the Province of Nakhon Pathum. It is a 70 acre site designed to give you a full day out. There is so much to do here. The Restaurant sits on the lake and the food served here is first class you can eat what you like - until you are full, very good value if you are a big eater.The Rose Garden and restaurant were started over 40 years ago and has now included the Cultural Centre and show, a hotel and other restaurants and a spa. Tourist buses usually arrive around 2.0 pm in time for the Thai Cultural Village show at 2.45 pm.
This attraction is usually taken in along with the Damnoen Saduak Floating market trip which is around 1800 Baht by taxi from Bangkok, but do check first, prices do vary. But the Rose Garden is worth a trip on its own, because there is so much to get involved with during the day. In the mornings you can take part in the Living the Thai Culture, an art and craft activity and cost around 500 Baht per person. These included Dancing / Musical Instruments / Garland Making / Fruit Carving / Bamboo Dancing Rice Farming among others.
The Gardens have many exotic flowers and there are some traditional Thai houses. One is used for weddings and another used for a spa centre. Most people go for the Thai Cultural show, with highlights of Thai Martial Art display, and a Traditional Thai wedding display. There is a cast of about 120 people that take part in this display and it is well attended. It is very colourful and impressive to watch, in all around 40 minutes.
One from my archive, shot on Roosevelt Island, New York. A pretty definite statement no chance of any misunderstanding here.
Hannes Swoboda, S&D Chairman, Manfred Weber, EPP Vice-Chairman, Rebecca Harms, Greens co-Chairman and Edward McMillan-Scott, ALDE Vice-Chairman debated about the role of the media in time of crisis: How could they bridge the gap of misunderstanding between citizens and EU institutions?
After a long wait and a shipping misunderstanding, I finally received my canon 70d (always and forever a canon girl). I received my camera after a 3 week wait of anticipation while I was on vacation, so my excitement was heightened. Also being in the country out in Pennsylvania and being surrounded by such majestic greenery added to the excitement. Such a beautiful and powerful camera, I didn't know what to photograph first, but I decided on a self portrait with this recent fabric I acquired. Being a little inspired by one of my favorite painters, Gustav Klimt, I was feeling very connected to his works, specifically his golden phase, and I imagined myself as if I was one of his women paintings hanging up on the wall for all to see. I felt like a queen from another planet of humans. I was also breaking in my new 2 toned pink lace front wig I bought. I've never bought a lace front wig before, but let me tell you! I will be purchasing more! They're just so real looking, and the feel of the hair is just so soft and luscious I want to hide myself inside a bed of wig hair! lol (very strange bird I am, I know this to be true ;))
(Little back story on the fabric)
I went to a Barbie exhibit at The Norton Museum in West Palm Beach and in one room of the exhibit, there was a runway, a projector with a Barbie fashion show playing in the background and donated fabrics and hats and such for people to pick up and wear and pretend like they were in their own fashion show! It was perfect and I felt like a Diva! haha! amongst one of the fabrics I picked was this one shown here, although this fabric was bought from Jo-ann's, but lucky for me they had it!
