His wound had roused a warm and blunted nausea in his belly, almost like the bubbling of passion in his groin, and he floated along, not quite anchored to either the road beside the house where he had been born or to the valley of grass in which he layVague lusts chased themselves through his headThe tall grass, nebulous and waving, seemed as high as a forest to him; he could not remember if he was in the jungle or not, and his nose amplified the odors here, blended them into his memory of the rich fetor of the jungleGoddam, just to smell a woman again The blood was trickling faster over his fingers, and he sweated, thinking of liquid things, lost in a welter of lovemaking, recalling acutely the feel of a woman's belly and hips, her mouthThe sun was very bright, very satisfactoryPlays hell on a man when he don' get his ass regularAh bet that's why mah insides turned back on me, an' got full of pusHis reverie was shattered by the thoughtAh don' want no op-per-ration, they gonna kill me with itWhen Ah git back, Ah'll tell 'em, Ah won' take no truck, Ah'll jus' tell 'em that all the pus jus' bled out of me, an' mah insides are fixed u | | Thursday, December 30th, 2010 | | 4:26 pm |

@@@@@ Most never become what the investment world @@@@@ Most never become what the investment world calls a "sophisticated investor And the best investments are usually first sold to "sophisticated investors," who then turn around and sell them to the people playing it safeI am not saying don't buy a houseI am saying, understand the difference between an asset and a liabilityWhen I want a bigger house, I first buy assets that will generate the cash flow to pay for the house My educated dad's personal financial statement best demonstrates the life of someone in the rat race His expenses seem to always keep up with his income, never allowing him to invest in assetsAs a result, his liabilities, such as his mortgage and credit card debts are larger than his assets The following picture is worth a thousand words:
Educated Dad's Financial Statement
Income=Expense Asset < Liability
My rich dad's personal financial statement, on the other hand, reflects the results of a life dedicated to investing and minimizing liabilities:
Rich Dad's Financial Statement
Income > Expense Asset > Liability
A review of my rich dad's financial statement is why the rich get richerThe asset column generates more than enough income to cover expenses, with the balance reinvested into the asset columnThe asset column continues to grow and, therefore, the income it produces grows with it The result being: The rich get richer!
Why the Rich Get Richer
Income -> Assets -> More Income Expenses are low, Liabilities are low
The middle class finds itself in a constant state of financial struggleTheir primary- income is through wages, and as their wages increase, so do their taxesTheir expenses tend to increase in equal increments as their wages increase; hence the phrase "the rat race They treat their home as their primary asset, instead on investing in income-producing assets
Why the Middle Class Struggle
Income goes up, Expenses go up Assets do not increase, Liabilities do increase
This pattern of treating your home as an investment and the philosophy that a pay raise means you can buy a larger home or spend more is the foundation of today's debt-ridden societyThis process of increased spending throws families into greater debt and into more financial uncertainty, even though they may be advancing in their jobs and receiving pay raises on a regular basisThis is high risk living caused by weak financial education The massive loss of jobs in the 1990s-the downsizing of businesses-has brought to light how shaky the middle class really is financially Suddenly, company pension plans are being replaced by 401k plansSocial Security is obviously in trouble and cannot be looked at as a source for retirementPanic has sei in for the middle classThe good thing today is that many of these people have recognized these issues and have begun buying mutual fundsThis increase in investing is largely responsible for the huge rally we have seen in the stock marketToday, there are more and more mutual funds being created to answer the demand by the middle cla | | Saturday, December 25th, 2010 | | 4:34 pm |

@@@@@He had meant them to
be good, but his cares @@@@@He had meant them to be good, but his cares had been directed to the understanding and manners, not the disposition; and of the necessity of self-denial and humility, he feared they had never heard from any lips that could profit them Bitterly did he deplore a deficiency which now he could scarcely comprehend to have been possibleWretchedly did he feel, that with all the cost and care of an anxious and expensive education, he had brought up his daughters without their understanding their first duties, or his being acquainted with their character and temper The high spirit and strong passions of MrsRushworth, especially, were made known to him only in their sad resultShe was not to be prevailed on to leave MrShe hoped to marry him, and they continued together till she was obliged to be convinced that such hope was vain, and till the disappointment and wretchedness arising from the conviction rendered her temper so bad, and her feelings for him so like hatred, as to make them for a while each other’s punishment, and then induce a voluntary separation 406 Mansfield Park She had lived with him to be reproached as the ruin of all his happiness in Fanny, and carried away no better consolation in leaving him than that she had divided themWhat can exceed the misery of such a mind in such a situation? MrRushworth had no difficulty in procuring a divorce; and so ended a marriage contracted under such circumstances as to make any better end the effect of good luck not to be reckoned onShe had despised him, and loved another; and he had been very much aware that it was soThe indignities of stupidity, and the disappointments of selfish passion, can excite little pityHis punishment followed his conduct, as did a deeper punishment the deeper guilt of his wifeHe was released from the engagement to be mortified and unhappy, till some other pretty girl could attract him into matrimony again, and he might set forward on a second, and, it is to be hoped, more prosperous trial of the state: if duped, to be duped at least with good humour and good luck; while she must withdraw with infinitely stronger feelings to a retirement and reproach which could allow no second spring of hope or character Where she could be placed became a subject of most melancholy and momentous consultationNorris, whose attachment seemed to augment with the demerits of her niece, would have had her received at home and countenanced by them allSir Thomas would not hear of it; and MrsNorris’s anger against Fanny was so much the greater, from considering her residence there as the motiveShe persisted in placing his scruples to her account, though Sir Thomas very solemnly assured her that, had there been no young woman in question, had there been no young person of either sex belonging to him, to be endangered by the society or hurt by the character of Mrs Rushworth, he would never have offered so great an insult to the neighbourhood as to expect it to notice herAs a daughter, he hoped a penitent one, she should be protected by him, and secured in every comfort, and supported by every encouragement to do right, which their relative situations admitted; but farther than that he could not goMaria had destroyed her own character, and he would not, by a vain attempt to restore what never could be restored, by affording his sanction to vice, or in seeking to lessen its disgrace, be anywise accessory to introducing such misery in another man’s family as he had 407 Jane Austen known himselfNorris’s resolving to quit Mansfield and devote herself to her unfortunate Maria, and in an establishment being formed for them in another country, remote and private, where, shut up together with little society, on one side no affection, on the other no judgment, it may be reasonably supposed that their tempers became their mutual punishmentNorris’s removal from Mansfield was the great supplementary comfort of Sir Thomas’s lifeHis opinion of her had been sinking from the day of his return from Antigua: in every transaction together from that period, in their daily intercourse, in business, or in chat, she had been regularly losing ground in his esteem, and convincing him that either time had done her much disservice, or that he had considerably over-rated her sense, and wonderfully borne with her manners be | | Saturday, December 18th, 2010 | | 4:31 pm |

In New York City it’s standard procedure: Leave your money with the bailiff, enough for everyone “I’m not referring to Boston, I’m talking about why you’re here “That’s an oversimplification but essentially correctAs I told you, the man who paid me to find out where you’d gone also paid me an additional large sum of money to keep the information to myselfUnder the circumstances, and because I have no pressing schedule of appointments, I thought it logical to pursue the inquiryAfter all, if the little I knew brought so much, how much more might come to me if I learned a little more?” “You talk of Gallic logic, monsieur?” inserted the Frenchman “It’s simple interrogatory progression,” replied the former judge, briefly glancing at Jean Pierre before turning back to Marie“However, my dear, I may have glossed over an item that was extremely helpful in negotiations with my clientTo put it plainly, your identity was being withheld and protected by the governmentIt was a strong point that frightened a very strong and influential man “I want his name,” said Marie “Then I must have protection, too,” rejoined Prefontaine “You’ll have it—” “And perhaps something more,” continued the old disbarred attorney“My client has no idea I came here, no knowledge of what’s happened, all of which might fuel the fires of his largess if I described what I’ve experienced and observedHe’d be frightened out of his mind even to be Robert Ludlum ??

from packing in case of an @@@@@He was all dirty from packing in case of an evacuation–whatever that meantDid they have anywhere to go? Ian scowled so hard he looked like Kyle when Brandt explained in clipped phrases why he was thereThen Ian dragged another empty cot beside mine, so that he could sit in Brandt's line of sight and block his view The helicopter, Brandt's distrustful watch, these were not really so badOn an ordinary day–if there was really such a thing anymore–either one of these might have seemed agonizingToday, they were nothing By noon, Doc had given Walter the last of the brandyIt seemed like only minutes later that Walter was writhing, moaning, and gasping for breathHis fingers bruised and chafed mine, but if I ever pulled away, his moans turned to shrill screamsI ducked out once to use the latrine; Brandt followed me, which made Ian feel like he had to come, tooBy the time we got back–after nearly running the whole way–Walter's screams no longer sounded humanDoc's face was hollow with echoed agonyWalter quieted after I spoke to him for a moment, letting him think his wife was nearIt was an easy lie, a kind oneBrandt made little noises of irritation, but I knew that he was wrong to be upsetNothing mattered beside Walter's pain The whimpers and the writhing continued, though, and Brandt paced back and forth at the other end of the room, trying to be as far from the sound as possible Jamie came looking for me, bringing food enough for four, when the light was growing orangey overheadI wouldn't let him stay; I made Ian take him back to the kitchen to eat, made Ian promise to watch him all night so he wouldn't sneak back hereWalter couldn't help shrieking when his twisting moved his broken leg, and the sound of it was nearly unbearableJamie shouldn't have this night burned into his memory the way it would surely be burned into Doc's and minePerhaps Brandt's as well, though he did what he could to ignore Walter, plugging his ears and humming a dissonant tune Doc did not try to distance himself from Walter's hideous suffering; instead, he suffered with himWalter's cries carved deep lines in Doc's face, like claws raking his skin It was strange to see such depths of compassion in a human, particularly Doc | | Friday, December 10th, 2010 | | 4:37 pm |
