  @Anna, 'ftw' just stands for 'for the win!' so no cursing involved ;) Just a general term of approval. And I agree, that all of Song is just excellent, good stuff, far too often ignored by preachers and most Christians alike, but no less important.... read more »

  @Anna, Song of Solomon ftw, Anna! There is much about commitment and focus to be found throughout the Bible of course, but when it comes to that one personal Relationship with another person in your life, Song of Solomon takes the cake. Just thinking of chapter 3, where the bride scours t... read more »

  @Ben, I think this whole insight explains much of the power behind "The Five Love Languages", where they talk about love as an action, not an emotion. The way we "feel" about things can and does change all the time, but love really is more about committing to "choose&quo... read more »

  @Anna, Some good questions and observations there! To answer your question on compatibility, yes, I think it is certainly possible to just reach a point where one person's expectations simply cannot be met by the other person. I think this happens in friendships quite frequently (friendshi... read more »

  @Ben, My take on 'awesomesauce' is that's it's probably already passe, but I just can't stop using it ... at least not for stuff like this poem ;)... read more »

• I Just Got Badass(er) - UNCIVILIZED Brand Clothing By Mario Valero

  Posted on Jan 24, 2011 at 5:10 PM

  It's a common font treatment in acid and death metal, and I think the suggestion of power with the angle of light on a very simple black / shadow treatment on the lifter is complementary to the font. Sure, it's a display font and it probably works better on paper than a sweatshirt, but I'm guess... read more »

  @anirudha, It looks like Ben is using CF Builder here, an Eclipse-based ColdFusion editor. My guess is that he's got a jQuery plugin added that's helping with the code hints.... read more »

• Experimenting With Offline Data Synchronization Using jQuery And ColdFusion

  Knowing that you've already set the GUID bar ("I find GUIDs to be very off-putting as database indexes. This is a purely emotional constraint - but, it is one that I am not yet ready to break through."), I still have got to point out that this is one of THE reasons to consider GUIDs or... read more »

• Using Dynamic Keys In ColdFusion 9's Implicit Struct Creation

  Posted on Aug 23, 2010 at 10:32 AM

  @Ben, this is cool because it maintains the case of the keys. girl = { hair="Brunette", name="Tricia" }; Output that and you get girl HAIR | Brunette NAME | Tricia But with girl = { "hair"="Brunette", "name"="Tricia" }; It looks like it maintains cas... read more »

  Posted on Jul 19, 2010 at 1:58 PM

  Glad you liked the book, Ben, it really was helpful a few years ago in my marriage. I think that realization that what matters to me in my marriage is just not what matters to my wife in my marriage (and vice versa) was huge. If your SO's love language is not one that you easily or regularly th... read more »

• For Better: The Love Scale Quiz Designed By Dr. Hatkoff

  Posted on Jul 8, 2010 at 10:52 AM

  Fascinating stuff here. I just wanted to chime in to second the Five Love Languages book. Been married almost 20 years now, and a few years ago that book really opened both our eyes to better understand some of those few areas where we used to have some tension. It really is a good thing to st... read more »

  @Sebastiaan, Ah, nice, yeah. You could even create separate queries for each language and load in the Application scope: application.countries = {}; application.countries["en"] = myEnglishCounrtyQuery; application.countries["de"] = myGermanCountryQuery; application.... read more »

  @Sebastian, If all apps are sharing data, why not add the country list to a database and give all the apps access to the datasource to that database? Could still load that query to either Server or Application scope, if you wanted.... read more »
