Thought for the Day: "Strife can only cause more strife. Only an open heart can put an end to strife. This is a Universal Law. Remember the center point during a disagreement and strife will quickly end. --The Opposites, verses 5 & 6 (Crosweller, Buddhist Wisdom Daily Reflections)
Thank you, Lord, for being able to see in focus again.

>My Van Gogh calendar features "The Arena at Arles" this month. An interesting picture; it seems to me to have many psychological facets. On the left edge and to the front are two women with green faces, one angry and one pensive. I think this may be Van Gogh's mother as he remembers her. (Was she psychologically bipolar? Violent?) Nearby are a pair of women with almost featureless faces, one reminding me of (I think) Modigliani's style--an elongated face with only the jaw and eyes indicated. In the extreme right corner is the back of a blonde man's head; he's facing and engaged with a dark-haired coquette. I think this is Van Gogh. Just beyond them is a ghost woman done in blue and looking off to the right; she may indicate a memory. Touches of red and off-red throughout the picture interest the eye and draw it toward the arena, mainly suggested by a curve in the upper right corner. Just below the yellow and orange arena is a yellow figure sort of floating in the crowd; it reminds me of a toreador and somehow seems sacrificial. Altogether, there's much to see in this painting that is easily skipped over at first glance.
... C++ offers even more flexible control over the visibility of member
objects and member functions. Specifically, members may be placed in the
public, private, or protected parts of a class. Members declared in the
public parts are visible to all clients; members declared in the private
parts are fully encapsulated; and members declared in the protected parts
are visible only to the class itself and its subclasses. C++ also supports
the notion of *_______friends*: cooperative classes that are permitted to see each
other's private parts.

new cat hospital, and you hate cats, your reply, declining the invitation,
does not necessarily have to cover the full range of your emotions. You must
make it clear that you will not attend, but you do not have to let fly at cats.
The writer of the letter asked a civil question; attack cats, then, only if
you can do so with good humor, good taste, and in such a way that your answer
will be courteous as well as responsive. Since you are out of sympathy with
cats, you may quite properly give this as a reason for not appearing at the
dedication ceremonies of a cat hospital. But bear in mind that your opinion
of cats was not sought, only your services as a speaker. Try to keep things
straight.

If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do
have a problem.

"What's this place called?" he asked the station attendant.
"All depends," the native drawled. "Do you mean by them that has
to live in this dad-blamed, moth-eaten, dust-covered, one-hoss dump, or
by them that's merely enjoying its quaint and picturesque rustic charms
for a short spell?"
