In the Wordpress K2 Theme, the title text is automatically placed on the left hand side about halfway down the header. This works beautifully if you have the plain blue background that comes enabled by default with the K2 them, but can cause problems if you decide to use the custom header image option. This basically lets you use a picture as the header.
If the picture has light and dark colors that the title text will overlay on, you can find yourself in a situation where part of the title text is unreadable because the color of the text blends in with the color of the picture.
Another scenario could simply be that the text covers part of the image that you want visible.
In either case, you can move the K2 theme header text up or down by adjusting the value in the file below. Continue reading ‘Wordpress K2 - How To Move Title Text Up or Down’
So what can I say? I must have been a VERY good boy this year. The chick bought me a Breitling Super Avenger. She gave it to me as a combo present for pretty much every holiday for the rest of the year due to the cost.
I’ve been eyeing the Breitling Super Avenger for about a year now and even tried it on once in the store. The problem is that I don’t have the balls to pay $4,000 for a watch on my own. I just had a lot of trouble justifying it to myself. Now that’s not to say that I’m cheap. I would have no problem at all spending that money on my wife and I actually have been known to buy her pretty expensive things.
That being said, I’m not sure where my interest in Breitling came from, but I definitely started noticing them more and more over the last several years. I considered Rolex, but that has the air of a stuffy old man’s watch (I’m sure I’ll get heat from the Rolex fans for that), I also looked at Omega, but it just didn’t catch my eye.

A few weeks ago, my wife went to the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor as she had seen something on TV about cleaning out your ears with some kind of solution that you get from the pharmacy. Inspired, she jaunted off to the local CVS and got the goods and fired it off into her ears. Promptly after applying this magical elyxir she couldn’t hear jack out of one ear.
She goes for an appointment at the ENT, where they find that some dissolved wax was stuck to her ear drum. They pulled out a mini shop vac and sucked off the offending matter and all is well. Then my wife asked a fateful (for me) question: “Can I still wear ear plugs?”. Which is answered with a question from the doc, “why do you wear ear plugs?”. The answer of course, is because I snore when I sleep. Not your normal honking through your nose snoring, but more like I take a breath then hold my breath then suddenly fire it out. The wife says it sounds like I stop breathing and make a ruccus starting up again. Well that’s all it took for the doc, “It sounds to me like your husband is the one that should be here, not you”.

Last night was a wonderful evening. A friend of mine was also taking his first degree last night, so we met and drove over to the lodge together. We were greeted by several Brothers that we had met at prior lodge events that were open to non members. We felt quite natural and had no awkward feelings at all.
We headed inside the lodge where the tables were set and several very large six foot long party sandwiches and other food awaited. We loaded up our plates and took a seat.
At the table were several masons that I Continue reading ‘First Degree Completed - Welcome Brother!’
By this time next week, I’ll have joined the Brotherhood of Freemasonry having taken the first degree and become an Entered Apprentice. I’m excited but at the same time a bit nervous as I’m not completely sure of what will be involved. I do have a general idea from seeing Freemasonry specials on Discovery Channel and the likes but not enough to feel secure that I won’t embarrass myself.
I did get an accidental peek into the ceremony while reading my latest Freemasonry book Continue reading ‘A Week To Entered Apprentice’
This is the first masonic book that I’ve read. Upon deciding to join the fraternity, a good friend of mine who also recently joined brought me over to his house and pulled out his newly acquired masonic library. We are a lot alike in that respect. When we get involved in something new, we want to know as much as possible about it and to understand it as completely as possible. Now, with Freemasonry, you have to think before diving in as I do NOT want to know about the details of the rituals or secrets of The Craft. Instead, I want to know about its history, where it came from, where it is, where it’s going. Continue reading ‘Freemasons For Dummies - Book Review’
I’ve known that the masons exist for years. Unfortunately, that’s about all I’ve known. I knew that they were secretive and that they had the odd looking symbol with the G in the middle but didn’t know what it meant. The few times I spoke to people that were masons and I would ask them about it, they would often say jokingly, “I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you”. I assumed that since I had asked about it and they told me little despite my interest, that it must be an invitation only organization and I left it at that. Well, you know what they say about assuming things… Continue reading ‘Deciding To Become A Freemason’

Welcome to infertility drug injections 101… Follistim, Ganirelix and Pregnyl.
Soooo, after another unsuccessful month of using Femara with an IUI, we headed off to see Dr. H at North Shore LIJ Center for Human Reproduction for another infertility checkup. He does a quick sonogram and confirms that the room is vacant, a la “no bun in the oven”.
Dr. H says, “Are you ready to go to the next level?”. We simply reply, “yep”.
We’ve been trying to conceive with Clomid and Femara, both natural and IUI for a couple of years. We had two that ended in miscarriages and the others never took. Ah, the joys of unexplained infertility.
Dr. H tells us that he’d like to do a round or two of injections with IUI’s and then head over to IVF land if those don’t work. While the thought of going IVF is scary because we’ve kind of always looked at IVF as “the last resort”, it’s also comforting in a way because this could also be our best chance of success. Dr. H jots down some notes and directs us to go see the nurses after my wife gets dressed. He calculates that based on this being day 2 of my wife’s cycle that we need to start the drugs immediately.

It is very possible to buy a relatively “safe” rental property that will all but guarantee you a steady income and help to make you wealthy in the long term. The keys to success are location, cost versus cash flow, and quality tenants.
Buying a rental property is the ultimate savings plan. You can buy the house and your tenants will pay it off for you over the life of the mortgage at effectively no cost to you. Fifteen to thirty years later, your house is paid off and has most likely appreciated significantly since you bought it. I like to say, “If I walked up to you today and told you “sign this paper and in 20 years I’ll give you a fully paid off house for free”, would you do it? Of course you would!

This box is amazing. Make skype like your home phone and more.
I have now purchased four of these for everyone in my family. I have two installed in Europe and two installed here in the USA. The basic functionality is that it lets you use your home phone to talk on skype.
When you get a skype call, your home phone rings. It works simultaneously with a land line as well. You can have skype and your land line connected at the same time. When you get a skype call your phone will ring differently than when a landline call comes in. It also acts like call waiting. If you’re on a skype call and you get a regular call, you’ll hear beeps just like call waiting and can flip between the two calls. It works with answering machines too. Incoming calls will ring the same number of times as your landline calls and your answering machine will pick up and they can leave a message just like a regular call.
