Our daily roundup of retirement news your clients may be thinking about.
How to use a 401(k) or IRA to buy real estate overseas
Clients who want to buy a real estate property abroad using assets in their 401(k) plan or IRA should take the necessary actions that will make the funds readily available when they need it, according to this article on Yahoo Finance. They also should buy the property solely to generate income and title the property in the name of their IRA, its LLC or 401(k) trust. Clients who buy a real estate overseas using money from these retirement accounts need to avoid financial structures and companies to invest the property and should never live in it. –Yahoo Finance
Why probability software is unreliable for retirement planning
Clients should not rely on probability-based retirement software when planning for their golden years, according to Nasdaq. While a retirement number can be inaccurate and unclear, it is based on future equity market returns and other unpredictable economic indicators, an analyst says. "After all, this number must be invested somewhere in order to produce income, and the portfolio return process is inherently random." –Nasdaq
How Social Security can cut workers' benefits
Older workers who are receiving Social Security benefits will be subject to an earnings test and may expect reduced benefits if their wage income exceeds a certain threshold, according to Money. For those who are below the full retirement age, the benefits would be reduced by 50 cents per every dollar above the income threshold, but the reduction will be lower when they reach the age of 66. The earnings test could also mean cuts to spousal, dependent and other benefits on their records. –Money
Retirement may be dicey for single women
A survey by the Employee Benefits Research institute found that 40% of single women have less than $1,000 in retirement savings and are likely to experience financial woes in their golden years, according to this article on CNBC. Unmarried women "lack the financial security of a dual-earner household to support their retirement savings, along with the added income associated with dual Social Security and a spouse's retirement benefits," an expert says. –CNBC

COGS 87 - Designing Environments
|Keywords: Cognitive Science 87, Elearning, Designing Environments, Digital Physical Divide, Future Environments, Augmented Reality, Wearable Computing, Ubiquitous Computing, Context Aware Computing, RFID, Living Rooms, Kitchens, Offices, Work Environments, Meeting Rooms, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Entertainment Venues, Navigation, Entry Points
We are looking at the diverse way people interact and move through their environments and to look for design guidance that can help us build a better lab environment, work environment, study environment, games environment, and educational environment. We want to explore the diversity of environment spaces that are created for people to live in, work in, find information in, and play in. We want to investigate ways that we can bridge the digital and physical divide by embedding digital objects into our everyday environments.
Each lecture covers a particular type of environment, such as living rooms or kitchens. In each of these, the students are challenged with a fun activity of creating a digital solution to a possible problem that occurs in one of these environments. They are free to use their imagination to best bridge the digital-physical divide.
Future Environments
In this lecture we introduce the concepts of digital supports in environments that exist currently. We look at wearables such as a gps locator watch. We then look at tools for your home such as an automatic vacuum cleaner. Lastly we investigate the tools for your work, such as an interactive desk. Each of these three topics introduces the students to the ideas behind digital supports.
Augmented Reality
The ultimate goal is to create a system such that the user can not tell the difference between the real world and the virtual augmentation of it. To the user of this ultimate system it would appear that he is looking at a single real scene.
Ubiquitous Computing and Context Aware Computing
In this lecture we will explore how we can take full advantage of raw computer processing power by moving beyond the desktop computer that we have become accustomed to. Instead of working within the computer's world we must move the computer into our world. This is the basic principle of Ubiquitous Computing. The physical and social situation forms the context. Context Aware Computing is thus when digital systems provide appropriate reactions according to a user's context (ex: time, place, personal preference, events, etc).
Living Rooms
The living room is not an activty specific room such as a kitchen or a bathroom. People partake in all kinds of activities in a living room. Some of these many activities include sleeping on couches, watching television, playing video games, as well as talking to each other.
Kitchens are not limited to just preparing and cooking food. Refrigerators store and preserve food, dishwashers clean and store dishes, and tables allow people to socialize and eat food. Although the main function of a kitchen is to prepare food, much of the possible digital supports of a kitchen do not have to involve cooking food.
Office and Work Environments
A company's culture is evident from its workplace setup. Its exterior often brands the company for outsiders to see and for employees to feel like a member of a collective whole. Personal workspaces can be private or open. Hallways are often places for collaboration.
It is no secret that people have different working styles. We will examine the impact of diverse styles on both an office's social atmosphere and setup.
Meeting Rooms
How can we design environments to encourage collaboration? What steps can we take to ensure that collaboration is productive and efficient? We will take a look at different types of meeting spaces and think about some of the ways we can use digital supports to make collaboration more effective.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
People spend so much time in their bedrooms and bathrooms sleeping or enjoying relaxing activities, yet much of the digital supports focus on living rooms, offices, and kitchens. The bedroom and bathroom can be very private and intimate places. In this lecture we will take a look at many luxury bedrooms and bathrooms as well as some bedrooms and bathrooms from different cultures.
Entertainment Venues
We pay to be entertained. People want their experiences to be worth their money. In this lecture we look at how amusement parks, Las Vegas, and home theater environments act as entertainment venues.
Navigation and Entry Points
What cues aid navigation? We examine different navigation cues and what makes entrances attractive and appealling.

Isotope scattering and phonon thermal conductivity in light atom compounds: LiH and LiF
Engineered isotope variation is a pathway toward modulating lattice thermal conductivity (κ) of a material through changes in phonon-isotope scattering. The effects of isotope variation on intrinsic thermal resistance is little explored, as varying isotopes have relatively small differences in mass and thus do not affect bulk phonon dispersions. However, for light elements isotope mass variation can be relatively large (e.g., hydrogen and deuterium). Using a first principles Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation approach the effects of isotope variance on lattice thermal transport in ultra-low-mass compound materials LiH and LiF are characterized. The isotope mass variance modifies the intrinsic thermal resistance via modulation of acoustic and optic phonon frequencies, while phonon-isotope scattering from mass disorder plays only a minor role. This leads to some unusual cases where values of isotopically pure systems ( 6LiH, 7Li 2H and 6LiF) are lower than the values from their counterparts with naturally occurring isotopes and phonon-isotope scattering. However, these differences are relatively small. The effects of temperature-driven lattice expansion on phonon dispersions and calculated κ are also discussed. This work provides insight into lattice thermal conductivity modulation with mass variation and the interplay of intrinsic phonon-phonon and phonon-isotope scattering in interesting light atom systems.

Sometimes, when you look at your monthly bills, you just can't help but think how nice it would be to be a kid again. There's no need to worry about food expenses, utility bills, and that dreaded monthly rent. But of course, you're an adult now, and financial obligations can't be avoided. One thing you can do though is to help lessen your rent expenses. We know how challenging it is to juggle bills if you're barely making enough money, so here are some tips that can help you save money on rent.
Location, location, location
If you're in the process of looking for a place to rent, keep in mind that those that are in the best locations are the most expensive. Sure, it's convenient if you're in the city hub, but because everybody wants to live there, the prices can be ridiculously pricey. The best way to go about this is to move a couple of miles away from the most popular spots. This way, you'll save a few hundred dollars but you're just a few blocks away from your favourite Japanese restaurant in the city.
Trade your valuable skills for discounts
Do you have awesome DIY skills? Why not put them to good use by trading them for a discount? Ask your landlord for any DIY projects you can do--fixing plumbing problems, installing electrical outlets, painting the walls, etc. Of course, you must be suitably qualified to do this. Hiring a professional to do these tasks will cost the landlord a huge sum, so your proposal is a win-win situation. The landlord gets to save on money and you get a slashed-off rental rate.
Get a roommate
Before you do though, make sure to ask your landlord first, and that you understand the legal requirements for this. With a roommate, you'll have someone to share the bills with. But before you say yes to the first person who responds to your ad, do a thorough interview first. If your roommate ends up being lazy and irresponsible, you'll be dealing with more problems aside from an expensive monthly rent.
Choose a rental package with perks
When choosing a place to rent, shop around and compare not only the monthly fee, but also the perks included. If you're choices are a $650/month without perks and a $700/month + Wi-Fi + water + parking, your best option is the $700/month deal. Compute your expenses for Wi-Fi, water, and parking, and you're bound to pay the same as or even more than $700. It might not make sense at first, but if you include your other expenses into the computation, you're actually saving more money with the more expensive rate.
If all else fails, haggle
When planning to put your haggling skills to the test, be sure to do your homework first. Research on the current rates in your location, and get proof (online/paper ads) that your landlord's asking price is a bit too much. Then prepare documents that prove you are a good tenant. These can include referrals from your previous landlords, credit report, and even bank statements. Armed with these documents, negotiate for a more reasonable price. Then prove to the landlord that you're a tenant worth keeping because of your good behaviour and financial standing. Finding a good rental deal can be tricky. But with enough research and haggling, you're sure to get the best deal. For more tips on how to save money, check out the Alpha Finance blog.

WMP 12: Good field for storing music origin info?
Is there an obvious field (Windows Media Player 12) in which to store the origin of music tracks that I have on my system? Until now I've been using Subgenre, but this is not such a good fit.
I've just come across "Content Provider" and this seems ideal. None of my 16,706 tracks have a value in this field, so I wouldn't be stepping on anyone's toes, probably.
Assuming there's no reason not to use this field, is there a practical way of moving the content of the Subgenre field into the Content Provider field? I've used OLE to read the WMP catalog, but so far I've never tried to update it this way. I'm a bit leery about experimenting on my music catalog...
Is the WMP catalog even the right thing to update? Maybe I should be looking at the IDV3 tags instead? I've never been sure of the relationship between the WMP Catalog and the IDV3 tags.
I can't use a mechanism which updates every track having a Subgenre, because changes to Subgenre are reflected in the IDV3 tags, which changes the file, so each changed track gets updated in my offsite backup, and my network can only cope with a few albums per day.
In case you're wondering why I'd want this information, it's so that I stand a chance of being able to prove that my music is legal, should the RIAA thought police think otherwise.

You can use lots of the tags in the MP3 for that kind of thing. I use 'grouping' for that purpose. Manipulating the tags in bulk is a bit more of an issue but there are several programs that can help. Media Monkey (has a free version) can assign tags to groups all at once. I use and really like Tag&Rename (shareware) for anything having to do with tags and managing my MP3 files--my lib is about the same size as yours. I don't know if either one can move a value from one tag to another automagically, never tried that. Bought T&R a long time ago and he keeps supporting it and issuing updates for as long as you want to get them--you could email him and see if it's something it will do. There are other packages out there that are probably as good but T&R works and at this point I'm completely familiar with it.

If you're a programmer, and you code in a language that interfaces with OLE, you can have hours of endless fun playing with this stuff. Let me know if you'd like some help with this.
I ended up using the field "UserCustom1" (there is also a "UserCustom2") as it obviously won't collide with anything else on my system. For my purposes, it also has the advantage that it doesn't map to an ID3 tag. When I make system-wide changes that map into ID3 tags, it takes my backup system almost a week to ship out the changed files to my offsite backup mechanism (a Linux server in my friend's garage).

i cant help wondering why you think the RIAA will end up on your doorstep someday.
if you purchase online then there will be a record, if they are your cd rips then presumably you still have the cd's.
anyhow it is very very unlikely the copyright police would single you out

15 Games Like Life Is Strange if You're Looking For Something Similar
Other titles with choices, coming-of-age stories, and west coast vibes.
This Sony exclusive stayed under the radar until a bit after it actually came out back in 2015. After people started to see how fantastic it was, the game then proved to be one of the best horror games in recent years. Similar to Life is Strange, Until Dawn has you making very difficult choices which makes up for the base of the game. Every decision you make is very important if you want to keep all of the characters alive by the end of the game. There are dozens of endings that entice players to start the game over upon completion just to see what would have happened if you took that other route or if you had not said that one mean thing about that one character.
The choices are crucial in Until Dawn, but unlike Life is Strange, you can't rewind time if you don't like the outcome; these young adults do not harness the power of time travel, unfortunately.

We got a visit from fellow future restauranteurs today, who had bought a property which we also had looked at, but found too expensive for our taste. They have been at it for two years already, which made us feel better for being slightly behind schedule.
We shared our experiences with various authorities, like health department and liquor authority, but neither of us heard anything new. This is somewhat comforting in that we are not the only ones going through pains while trying to open a business, creating jobs, and doing something for the community.
It was a frustrating day otherwise. I had tried to put more memory into E!'s laptop, and kinda ruined it along the way. Thanks to Jerry I got it working again. Aside from messing with computers I did a little plumbing for the dish station, while E! was busy staining the wood cover for the LVL beams in the beer hall.

The asymmetric shape of PLENUE 2 has a finely curved edge for secure grip and the geometrical lines of the surface are highlighted by the light and shadows. The analogue wheels are protected from external shock, and the prominent upper part diffuses light from the LED lamp, thus giving a mysterious visual experience. Its tempered glass with the PLENUE logo and its finely etched surface give a no-slip feel.
Its two analogue wheels can be used to adjust the volume and select an acoustic field, ensuring an intuitive and quick operation, a distinctive sound and delicate touch. This delivers the emotional feel of analogue audio.

NEW YORK CITY --Lots of women love their facials, but the newest rage in skin care may be a little hard on your stomach.It's called the geisha facial and the special ingredient is bird droppings -- nightingales to be exact.
The poop comes in powdered form, which is UV sterilized, mixed with water then brushed on the skin.
The facial is gaining popularity in New York City, and women are willing to at least give it a try.
"This is a first for me, I've had the microdermabrasions and the brightenings but this is the first time I've ever tried poop," said Mindy Lubel, a customer.
The spa owner says nightingale droppings have a natural enzyme that breaks down dead skin cells and exfoliates. She claims geishas in Japan used it to remove makeup, brighten and heal their skin.

A new state law that makes it harder to obscure sources of money to campaign financing committees takes effect today.
The bill imposes stricter requirements for campaign transparency by lowering the dollar threshold for reporting contributions. It also requires that names of political action committees include their sponsors, and strengthens the criminal and civil penalties for violating those provisions. It is one of a handful of new laws that take effect today.
"When voters know the source of the information they are being given, they can evaluate better the truthfulness of it," said Sen. Craig Pridemore, a Democrat from Vancouver who sponsored the measure.
The measure was introduced in the Legislature after a case in the November 2010 elections in which consulting firm Moxie Media used a slew of committees to obscure the source of its campaign financing.
In December, the firm and its partners, Lisa MacLean and Henry Underhill, agreed to pay a $250,000 fine and $40,000 in legal fees. If they comply with campaign reporting laws through 2015, $140,000 of the penalty will be suspended.
State election authorities said Moxie Media established two layers of political committees to sponsor $9,000 in postcards and robo-calls seeking to oust state Sen. Jean Berkey, D-Everett. Berkey, a conservative Democrat, was being targeted by labor interests, who preferred another Democratic candidate.
The mailings and calls were designed to help little-known Republican Rod Reiger. Berkey lost the primary election, and Democrat Nick Harper later defeated Reiger in the general election. Harper, who was unaware of Moxie Media's actions, was sworn in to the state Senate in 2011.
Also today, an aspect of a workers' compensation reform bill that deals with settlements to hurt workers takes effect. During the last legislative session, businesses worked with lawmakers on a variety of changes to the system, with the biggest allowing the state or employers to offer limited settlements to workers that would lower payout costs over the long term. Those settlements can be offered starting today. Officials believe the changes will save $1.1 billion in potential spending over four years.
Another measure moving the primary election to the first Tuesday in August also becomes law. Previously, the primary was held on the third Tuesday in August.

Blog Spot
Feed Grain and Hay-
LLAF has not had any grain donated for the last several months. Therefore it is costing us roughly $167 weekly just for grain. We were able to work with an area store to purchase on credit in large quanity of grain at a savings of $1 per bag plus 5% off. We pay no interest as liong as we make monthly payments and the balance is paid in full by March of this year. Our minimum monthly payment is $274.
We need to purchase 130 round bales of hay for winter. This enables the outside horses to be able to eat as they feel hungry. This cuts down on labor, as well as ensuring outside animals can eat as they need to keep them sufficiently warm. Winter is here. If we purchase round bales in bulk (12-14 at a time0, then delivery is free. Current price is near $65/each.
Hello Everyone,
Here at LLAF we have had a really busy year. During the last year I have sometimes felt that we were kind of slow, then, as I prepared to do the end of year paperwork, I was and always am suprised at what our nambers really are.
Family Tours- in 2015 we had given 480 tours through our farm. Our visitors were from a wide variety of backgrounds. Some were just curious as to what made a Rehabilition Center different from a Rescue, others thought that homeless horses were worthless and should be euthanized. Many of these visitors were almost angry when they phone for an appointment, very agitated. A few were even breeders of high value show horses. However, when they came they were very surprised to see how many horses had arrived at our facility. Out of the 25-28 equines they saw, we were able to show them that all had value, or at least should be given the benefit of the doubt. All agreed senior equines should be able to live comfortably their last few years. Some of the visitors were pre-vet students, some were people working with at-risk teens, and some just wanted to learn about our work here at LLAF.
Internship Program-
LLAF is currently working with Farm Credit Services in Cuyahoga, Stark, and Summit Counties to create a 3-year internship program which will allow people wanting to own a family farm to do so. This helps us out with labor, while we are teaching safe and humane animal husbandry, and how to plant and harvest quality hay for a cash crop, as well as other garden and fruit produce.
LLAF participated in ASPCA National Help A horse Day in April of 2015. We also had two horse shows that were successful fund raisers. We were able to not only raise awareness, and much needed funds for vet expenses, but were also able to complete rehab of 6 equines this past year. We are now awaiting funds to get these animals trained.
With our experienced staff we are able to perform a lot of our own first aid procedures here on the farm. This saves us thousands of dollars each year.

"Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck."-Dalai Lama
It takes a second to remember what city I'm in – and then it hits me. "Oh that's right: Novosibirsk. How could I have forgotten I'm in the middle of Siberia?"
I'm hung over from all the exhausting train-travel lately, but that doesn't stop me from doing what I've done every morning for the past eight weeks.
I swipe my phone off the nightstand and pull up my email. Maybe today. Maybe this is the day she finally responds and accepts my offer to give us another shot. I'm getting worryingly close to Beijing, the place I figured we could meet up – and I still haven't heard back from her.
I flick some junk mail aside. Ugh. Still nothing….
Suddenly, there it is. For the first time in months I see her familiar email address at the bottom of my inbox. My heart leaps out of my chest and my fingers get clumsy with excitement.
The wait is finally over!
I'm picturing us meeting in Tiananmen Square later this week, her on one side of it and me on the other, and when our eyes meet we race across and she leaps into my arms like a scene from Gone with the Wind, and it all looks absurd against a backdrop of modern China, but neither of us care, we couldn't care less….
Her email is eloquently written, as usual. (She has always been a much better writer than I am.) After letting me know that all is well on her end she cracks a couple of inside jokes like we haven't spent a day apart. I quickly skim through all the small talk – I can go back and read that later – as I desperately look for her answer.
I find it towards the end of the e-mail.
I read it out loud to the pillows around me, hanging on every letter.
"Maybe I can meet you again some day down the road, but it is evident that we are a bit too off-sides to make much movement down the field of life together."
My heart immediately hardens and I'm a bit confused. Not by her football analogy (that doesn't exactly make sense according to the rules of the game) but by the rejection. It never really dawned on me that she would actually turn me down. I always thought – or maybe I should say my ego always thought – that she was just passing the days and waiting around for me until I invited her back into my life. I figured it was just a matter of time until she read my email and responded with a "yes, I can't wait to see you too".
I let out a stunned breath, and then my mind goes blank.
Eyes glazed with sorrow, I look out the window at the snow that's piled high atop the rooftops across the street. I watch the outline of a burley Russian man lean out of his bedroom window and puff on a cigarette. I watch everything and think nothing.
Finally, I drop my head into my hands, wondering if there is anything I can say that will get her to change her mind.
I figured Siberia would be a good place to stop for a few days, so that I wouldn't have to spend seven straight days crammed inside a tiny train car. And besides wanting to break up the journey from Moscow to Beijing a bit, I was also curious to see what Siberia was like. Now I'm wishing I wasn't here – but at the same time I'm wishing I wasn't anywhere.
Novosibirsk isn't anything special, by the looks of it. Just like any other city, except much colder. Clear skies and far-below-freezing temperatures make this one of the harshest places on the planet to spend the winter. It feels like karma's at work – it's so very fitting that I got this harsh news here.
I go back to her email and read the rest of it. More unexpected news; she says that she's headed back to Miami, which is the god's-honest last thing I would have ever expected her to do. She hated Miami when we both lived there and vowed to never return.
She goes on to say that she's flying back tomorrow, which, ironically is just days before I'm finally supposed to arrive in her neck of the woods. I'm stung. After nine months apart, she could have waited just a few more days, so we could have met in person and hashed things out – but she hasn't, which cuts deep. This is not only a "no, I can't see you" – it's a very loud "no I don't want to see you."
Then as I get to the bottom of her message I come across the worst thing I've ever had to read.
I cringe as I read it.
She tells me she's spent time with someone else along the way. My stomach churns and I physically feel ill at the thought of her being intimate with someone else. She goes on to say that it was nothing serious, but the damage is already done…
I race out of bed and over to the toilet and brace myself above it, because it's very possible that I might actually vomit. My hair dangles in front of my face and I break into a cold sweat while gripping the toilet seat for dear life.
My mind and body are in full meltdown mode; if you asked me to describe my worst possible scenario, my most sick and twisted imagination could not have dreamed this up. Not only does she not want to see me, but she's going back to Miami and she's been spending time with someone else. If I thought I'd been hurt before, that was nothing compared to this.
In all fairness, I did ask her if she'd met anyone – and she was only answering honestly. But did I really want to know the truth? No, of course not! And she can be honest to a fault sometimes. And in full disclosure, it's not that she's done something that I myself haven't done. Nine months is a long time to be apart.
But that does little to stop the pain from seeping into my bones right now.
As I try to compose myself in the bathroom – a sudden, horrible suspicion hits me. I grab my train ticket and double check it, I'm supposed to leave Novosibirsk for Beijing tonight at midnight, it's a five day train journey – but suddenly something besides my love life doesn't feel right.
I unfold the ticket and look at the date that's printed across the top. I'm scheduled to leave on November 16th. Huh, that can't be right, I swear I was supposed to leave on the 17th.
"Wait, what day is today?"
I left Moscow a few days ago and there was a three-hour time difference between there and here. I didn't really sleep well on the train, so I'm just kind of lost as to what day it is.
I flip on the TV and turn to a local news channel; the date is stamped in the bottom right hand corner.
Today is in fact November 17th.
I throw the ticket up in the air, and as it flutters to the ground, I punch a nearby pillow in frustration. "You have got to be kidding me. How could I have missed my train to China by a full day?"
Dollar signs fill my brain. This ticket was the most expensive thing I've purchased along the way, and not only can I not afford to have missed the train financially – but the mental toll on me is going to be unbearable. It was such a complicated process to book the initial ticket that it took nearly two weeks to do so, and I had to pick up the ticket in person at a very out-of-the-way Moscow office. I have no idea how to rebook it – or if rebooking it in Siberia is even possible. And on top of all that, who knows when the next train leaves anyway? Novosibirsk to Beijing in the middle of November, when its negative ten degrees outside isn't exactly a popular route for locals or tourists alike?
This is a disaster. And I'm simply not ready to deal with it.
My attention is momentarily pulled back towards the TV by breaking news. It's appalling. There's been a massive terrorist attack in Paris and over 100 people are dead.
I don't know who's responsible for the attack – nobody does yet – but my mind goes right to the Syrian refugees I met when I was traveling across Eastern Europe earlier this year. I imagine that they are going to catch the backlash for this. Some people are going to find a way to blame them for this atrocity. The gutter press will drum up some sort of story about how the borders were weaker around Europe because of these Syrian refugees seeking freedom, which made it easier for the terrorists to make their way to France.
I shake my head in disgust. Everything in the world feels messed up today.
Back to her email. Maybe I read it wrong….
My phone warbles. A text has comes through from my family. 11 hours away at the other side of the world, they are all gathered at my cousin's wedding in Florida – but the text reads that my grandmother has collapsed at the reception, momentarily stopped breathing and had to be rushed to the Emergency Room.
I raise my arms to the sky. "Really? This too?" I can't think, I can't process anything, my brain short circuits on me. I'm well past the point of tears and a numbness I've never felt before sets in. I am well and truly lost.
The only thing I manage to do is to pick up the phone and call down to the front desk. Knowing that I will most likely need to spend a few more days in Siberia, I ask to extend my stay, and then wait for the answer while I listen to the concierge click across his keyboard.
"I'm sorry, Sir, but we are fully booked."
"Of course you are."
I slam the phone down – and as I do so I pull a muscle in my back and tweak something in my neck. My whole body seizes up, which sends an excruciating pain up my spine and across my shoulders. I can't turn my head from side to side because of the pain. It's like someone slide a knife into my back.
Everything is unraveling.
I gingerly lay on the bed, stretch my arms and legs out like a starfish, and I talk to the empty space around me, "What is happening? Why all this?"
No answer.
I start demanding one.
"Do you want me to quit? Is that what this is about?"
I cannot think of anything else that could possibly go wrong at this moment. Not only is my world imploding, but from the looks of what's happened in Paris, it feels like the rest of the world is falling apart as well.
I think about hopping on the next flight back to Miami, going back to my old job and old life where I didn't have to think. I never felt pain like this back then. If ever there were a moment to quit, this would be it.
"I'm in Siberia, for god sake."
In the past when I was on the brink of quitting, it was because of safety-related issues that were out of my control. This is different. This is an avalanche of stress all at once, and it's my inability to handle it that is the issue here. It kind of reminds me of the game Jinga, like when someone pulls the wrong block from the stack and all the other blocks come crashing down. At that point the game is over.
Have I pulled too many wrong blocks? Is it game over for me?
I gave this thing a good run, but maybe it's time to put the pieces back in the box and the box back in the closet.
As I lay here alone, I can't help but think of one of the things I've always asked for, which is solitude. Well, mission accomplished. I'm in Siberia, I'm at the edge of the world, and right now solitude is my only companion as I try to work out what to do next.

Being grateful
For me, it's been a hard week. Perhaps its the full moon, or staffing issues or possibly even in long term care we have turn-over on the floor. Whatever the reason is, I'm pretty burnt. However, it's Thanksgiving tomorrow. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the holiday. I have no problem cooking… Continue reading Being grateful

Day 88: Play the Recorder Day, originally uploaded by susanvg.
I belong to the Montreal Recorder Society and play in a recorder orchestra, Flutissimo. Today we had our annual Play the Recorder Day (La Fête des flûtes). Some of my recorders are on the stand on the left. The very tall recorder, a contrabass, belongs to a friend of mine. The day included performances by all the groups in our society as well as workshops for beginners and a sight-reading session for all at the end.
Music is one of my passions - especially early music 18th century and earlier). I'm fortunate to live in a city where this flourishes, with many professional groups, two universities with early music programmes and many amateur players.
Whenever I can, I play music and to go to concerts and with the plethora of ensembles in Montreal, I often have to make choices. What a delightful dilemma to have.

LAS VEGAS — Organizers of IMEX America, the new U.S. trade show for the worldwide incentive travel, meetings, and events industry, have revealed more details about its Oct. 11-13 show.IMEX has a full business, networking, and educational line-up scheduled for the debut show October 11-13 at the Sands Expo and Venetian/Palazzo in Las Vegas.
The trade show is set to welcome 1,500 exhibitors, with a broad representation of companies from many countries around the world and across all meetings and incentive travel industry sectors.
Thanks to the reputation and proven success of the IMEX hosted buyer model — which has been used at IMEX in Frankfurt over the past 9 years — IMEX America will host more than 2,000 meetings and events buyers from the United States and internationally.
IMEX Group Chairman, Ray Bloom, also confirmed that the ratio of buyers remains at 80 percent from the US market — who plan business internationally — and 20 percent from the international buyer market who will have a strong interest in placing business with North American exhibitors.
In addition, thousands of buyer attendees from the U.S. domestic market are expected to take part in IMEX America attracted by the organizer's promise to deliver "more than just a trade show" with, unlike most U.S. shows, free entry and a free education program, plus unmatched networking and business opportunities.

Labour Leader and Doncaster North MP Ed Miliband has given his backing to market stall holders in Mexborough campaigning against huge rises in rent.
Visiting the market in his constituency this morning, Mr Miliband made clear that the plans set out by English Democrat mayor Peter Davies to increase charges to stall holders by up to 500% are utterly wrong and unjustifiable.
Campaigners against the rent hike, many of whom have had family businesses in the market for generations, presented Ed with a petition, which he assured them he will pass on to the mayor.
The mayor argues that current rent levels are very low in comparison to other similar markets having not seen any increases in fifteen years. But Mr Miliband told reporters that Peter Davies has a complete lack of understanding of the issue, adding that no one at the market is expecting to see no rise at all, especially in the current economic climate. But he said hitting hard working people with a 500% increase in their rent, threatening their ability to continue trading, would be ridiculous.

Travis Farris with a nice mix on Aalim Moor
Travis Farris is the best video person around the Bay Area for prep and club team basketball footage. His mixes are superb.
Here's a link to one of his latest. It's a nice mix of Aalim Moor in action, the freshman point with the Spartan basketball squad.

Entertainment Weekly has introduced us to one of the new characters on "The Walking Dead," a man named Milton, who is played by Dallas Roberts (THE GREY). Milton is a wholly original creation, not a character making the transition from comic book to small screen, and apparently he's a crucial one.
Said "Walking Dead" executive producer Robert Kirkman:�Milton is the details guy. He�s the guy that works with the Governor, who is monitoring all situations and is trying to help the Governor make sense of this world that they�re living in. He�s not exactly a scientist, but he�s a smart guy that is trying to find out how zombies behave. Watching him do his little experiments is going to be a lot of fun.�
Uh-oh. Zombie experiments? Music to our ears!
Showrunner Glen Mazzara added the following: �We were examining, �How do people survive in this apocalyptic world, and what can people contribute?� And we didn�t think it was plausible that every single character we meet is an efficient zombie killer. We just didn�t buy that everyone we know would be active and deft enough to kill every walker. We wanted to show how other people survive, and Dallas has come in and helped us establish that character. He just adds a lot of heart and humanity to Woodbury, which further complicates what that is. That is a real town with real people and real survivors. It�s not necessarily a group of bad guys.�
Milton sounds like he'll have a whole lot of conflict on his plate, being a subordinate to the villainous Governor while still possessing, as Mazzara says, heart and humanity. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.
"The Walking Dead" returns to AMC on OCTOBER 14th.

BENEFITING: My Brother's Table, Inc.
One very hot day this summer, the two door refrigerator at My Brother's Table (a soup kitchen in Lynn, MA that served 112,000 meals last year) drew its last cooling breath and died. It was almost 20 years old, which is like 200 years old in fridge years. The Table desperately needs a new refrigerator and soon! We have all kinds of lovely produce coming in from generous farms, farmer's markets, and neighbors and no place to put it all. The Table is 100% privately funded, which means we do not seek or accept government of United Way funding, but it also means that when something breaks, we need help from regular people like you!

As we all know, Nokia Lumia 900 is an incredible phone, which has its own place into the market, because of its amazing design, construction (it is made mostly of polycarbonate), platform (the Windows Phone operating system) and of course, with it's huge ClearBlack display. Also, Nokia Lumia 900 is sold by those from AT&T in 3 colors: white, black and the popular cyan, but beginning with this day, they are adding a new color, just to make the users feel more unique with such a phone: it will be available in all over U.S. in the pink color, which is a color preferred mostly by the girls.
Now, can you imagine the phone with the 4.3 inches display, its amazing 1.4 Ghz processor and the unique 8 megapixel camera with customary Carl Zeiss lens capable of making extraordinary photos and videos? Well, I bet you can, but if the answer is no, you should try it out, as it is fantastic for taking pictures with your friends and other kind of stuffs in the summer fun. About the pink color: it is not that case when the pink color is applied as a paint on top of the phone's layer. Because the phone is made of polycarbonate (that means it is made of one piece of plastic), the phone is all pink. Also, if you phone has scratches, those can't be see, because of the phone's construction. Now, as we all know, the Lumia 900 is powered by the Windows Phone software with at least 100,000 applications available for this type of phone, so it is a very interesting, amazing and very fun to navigate through all its tools.

This wonderful jester pin is handcrafted pewter by Jim and Deborah Chapman... now called The Tin Woodsman Pewter Company located in Eugene Oregon. The jester was inspired by the Mardi Gras. He's decked out in ribbons and bells and is in new, unused condition, on the original card... which is somewhat bent and worn but serves to identify the makers of this whimsical pin. The pin measures 2.25" long not including the ribbons. Chapmans no longer sell directly to the public, but their newer work can be found in craft galleries... both brick & mortar and on-line.

Myasthenia Gravis is a rare autoimmune disease which leads to a fatigability of various muscles. Scientists know about the progress and symptoms, but not the actual cause of this disease. Now fourteen pairs of identical twins joined the EU funded medical project "Fight-MG", to help find the cause and for a better treatment of the patients.
Fourteen pairs of identical twins joined the EU funded medical project "Fight-MG", to fight Myasthenia Gravis. This rare autoimmune disease leads to abnormal fatigability of various skeletal muscles.
It has a variety of symptoms, including difficulty breathing, talking, climbing stairs or lifting objects. Scientists know that MG patients develop antibodies against molecules working as neuromuscular mediators, but still need to investigate the actual causes of MG.
Coordinated by the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), the project links together 11 leading teams from France, Greece, Israel, Switzerland, Germany, Norway and Italy.
Genetically identical, twins are very similar. Therefore the differences found in a limited number of genes, can help scientists determine why one twin suffers from the disease whereas the other one does not.
At the time the program began, an estimated 15% of MG patients went undiagnosed, sometimes with tragic consequences. Establishing new diagnostic evaluations has been a major objective of the European scientists. This goal has been widely attained by the discovery of a new pathogenic biomarker, which will help diagnose another 5 to 10% patients. Besides they have studied new therapies, by exploring molecular and cell based therapies, which have given promising results.

USB Mouse keeps cutting out
I have searched this forum and many others for solutions to this issue and have tried many of the proposed solutions.
Basically my Logitech G400 (which I have had no issues with on this machine since I got it many months ago) keeps cutting out for a second or two and then comes back. It does this randomly as far as I can tell, sometimes as much as 4-5 times in 10 seconds, sometimes once a minute. Also as far as I can tell it only cuts out while using the mouse (ie moving the mouse,scrolling, clicking buttons) it doesnt cut out if you just leave the mouse still. So far I have tried:
I noticed that sometimes when it cuts out several times within a very short period of time one of the "HID-Compliant device" entries in device manager has a yellow exclamation mark next to it momentarily but as soon as the mouse starts working the exclamation mark disappears, I have tried uninstalling this entry and then rebooting but the issue still occurs.
Any help is much appreciated as this is REALLY starting to bug me.

Windows 10 64 bit
I have that problem with a Logitech wireless mouse on my Recording Studio PC, which is what I have listed in the "My System Specs". I have a Microsoft wireless mouse and I do not have the problems. I have several different Logitech Wireless mice and they are all flakey. I also have a Logitech wireless keyboard and it too is an issue. Along with the wireless Microsoft mouse I mentioned, I also have a Microsoft wireless keyboard and it too works without problems.
The motherboard has been replaced, as I sent it back for warranty repair because of some other problems (and also noted the flakey keyboard/mouse operation). The repaired motherboard (looks like a new board) does the same thing with the Logitech. However, I have a second desktop with an ASUS motherboard and a Lenovo Laptop and the Logitech's work OK with those.

I don't know if this will help but it helped me.
I got rid of Logitech a long time ago just because of such things. They would work here and there and sometimes no where. I got tired of fooling with them and have been using Microsoft mouse and keyboards with no problem.
I never did figure out the problem with Logitech and didn't want to spend the rest of my life looking for the answer.

First a bit of logistics: I only have a short amount of time to read/write emails, but I love being able to read so keep writing even if I don't have long responses. Do not send me packages while I am in the CCM (MTC). The mail takes about 2-4 weeks to get here so in later weeks if you want to send me something, send it to my Chiclayo mission address, and finally today is my P-day (Thursday)!! Also can you double check to make sure Heath and Bri are on the email list.
Sam was absolutely right, the days at the CCM are long, but the weeks go by fast. I have never been more challenged mentally, spiritually, and physically then here in Peru. It is incredible how much Spanish I have learned so far, I still am a gringo, but I know that the gift of tongues is real. I love the Latinos here. When I first arrived I knew nothing, but I always like to hang out with my Peruvian brothers, so now I know a bit more than nothing. They really help me with my Spanglish. The food here is really good, but takes a moment to get used to. I have rice about twice a day and every meal has a juice which is always a surprise. Food here isn't overloaded with salt and sugar like in the US, but there is a lot of flavor. Also there is a delicious fruit here called a grenade (pronounced gru-na-da) which is bright orange and look, well, kind of like a grenade. When you open it up there is this booger looking substance inside (Really) and you eat that. It is probably the weirdest food here, but it is surprisingly delicious.
I know that Heavenly Father put me with Elder Coons (mi campañero) for a reason. He is wicked smart and already knew Spanish pretty well before coming out. He also loves the Peruvians, so he helps me with the language barrier. At first I thought he was a bit of a stiff, but then we really got to know each other, and as Becca put is, we are "bros" or "hermos". A couple days ago we decided to share our testimonies with each other for companionship study, it was super powerful. And I could tell that knowing each others testimonies really helped us teach. Oh yeah! they already have us teaching mock lessons, IN SPANISH. ¿Isn't that unbelievable? At first it was super scary, but after our second lesson I could really feel the spirit and I knew that we needed to be challenged in order to grow.
Every day for physical exercise we go to "grays gym". Elder Grey is an Elder in my district who is huge, but has a heart of gold. He gives us tough work outs to help us press our bodies as well our minds and spirits. After our little workout we go and play soccer with the Latinos. I finally appreciate the sport. I usually play goalie, because I am one of the tallest Elders here. I love watching how skilled the Latinos are at passing, and dribbling the ball. One Peruvian, Elder Garcia, always rolls over and acts like his shin hurts when someone steals the ball from him. In the middle of an intense game he did this and a couple of his campañeros carried him off the field, it was super funny.
I love the MTC in Peru, I am either laughing or feeling the spirit all day. Last night I was feeling down about my Spanish so I started to study the Spanish preach my gospel or "Predicar Mi Evangelio". Elder Ortiz, the sweetest little Peruvian from Trujillo read it with me and helped me with my pronunciation. He read a bit of the English Preach my Gospel in broken Spanglish too. It was such a sweet moment that we could assist each other in understanding foreign idioms.
I would write way more, because so much has happened this week, but I only have so much time, and half of it is spent waiting for these computers to load. The picture is of all the Elders in my room: Elder Coons, Elder Ortiz, and Elder Guetierez. They are fantastic Elders and they help me so much everyday. I love all of you back home, and even though I miss all of you, I am so glad I am here. I need to be here, this is what I need to be doing, consecrating my time to serve the Lord.

Natural Crisps are a blank slate when it comes to finding a match. These are flavorful, but not overpowering, all-natural crackers that are baked to thin, crisp perfection. They are a wonderful combination with mild and sharp cheddar and gouda, blue cheese, and also honeys or preserves or spicy spreads.
These gourmet crackers are made without oil; they are exceptionally crunchy cracker, they have a delicious flavor and are very light. Their 'serrated' edges will add just a little extra flair to your cheese board or buffet.
