My passion for telling a compelling brand story began where I was born and bred, East Providence, Rhode Island. In the summer of '07, armed with an old copy of Adobe Photoshop and a WordPress login; I transformed the digital presence of my family's restaurant. Since that summer, I knew a career in Digital Marketing was for me.
Today, I'm a member of 451 Agency's Social Media team. As a Digital Designer, I work closely with our clients to craft campaigns that tell their brand's story. Using our analytical expertise, we then push out that story to who it'll impact most, their target demographic.
In 2009, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in marketing from Suffolk University. While in school, I was awarded 3rd prize in Brand X, a global student marketing competition held by George P. Johnson and Red7 Media.

It's called Tapetum Lucidum, and it's what provides animals with the rockstar dream capability of night vision. But then like out of another awesome X-men movie, came along this little Chinese super talent. Nong Youhui was just a young boy when he was first studied by doctors in Southern China for having "cat like" eyes, not to mention the ability to see in the dark. Nong's friends and family say that not only does he see better at night. But, sometimes the boy gets blurred vision as a result of direct sunlight. After several medical tests, it was confirmed that the boy could read and write perfectly in complete darkness. Is Nong a living example of a genetic mutation in humans? Could we really be witnessing human evolution right before our eyes? Well, not exactly. Evolutionists would point to evolutionary history dating back to the beginning of mankind claiming that there has never been a need for humans to have this visual superpower. Most of us are active during the day and sleep at night. Experts claim that IF this were to ever happen in humans, there would almost certainly have to be a family history of the unique traits, and genetic evidence of the development of a mutation. Therefore, it would be impossible for a human to develop this in a single generation.
James Reynolds, Pediatric ophthalmologist says:
Cats, sharks, marsupials, alligators and other predatory animals have this ability so that they can augment the light at night just enough to hunt down, kill and devour their prey at night. So unless you are a bad ass member of the superhero team of the Marvel Universe or decide to devote hundreds of years of family dedication transforming into "night owls," humans will likely never have tapetum lucidum. This is likely a case of a rare genetic gift with resembling traits, unexplainable to pragmatics or those relying on empirical evidence alone.
Watch Video
If you could be any X-men character from the Marvel Universe, which would you be?
Each and everyone of us withhold super powers within, all of which externalize themselves in different ways. Whether this is in the form of marketing, sales, or night-vision-like capabilities such as Nong, discover and embrace your own so it can aid you in fulfilling your destiny.

National Train to Lurch to the Left?
With John Key replacing Don Brash as leader of the NZ National Party, most pundits are expecting the party to gradually reposition itself further to "the middle" of the political spectrum.
Key's new "shadow cabinet" certainly has a lot of ability, and some fresh faces in key portfolios. Katherine Rich returns to a meaty portfolio with Education, while Tau Henare should partner well with Georgina Te Heuheu to give National a bit of grunt in Maori Affairs.
However, it will be interesting to see how much National tries to fight Labour with big spending promises in major areas like Health, Welfare, and Education.
While the National Party does have a history of being more "right of centre", it's not well known for its ability to curb spending, or opening the way for more freedom and individual responsibility.
However, it is positive to note that John Key seems to have accepted that the National Party is unlikely to ever govern alone as long as New Zealand has MMP, and wants to foster better links with the minor parties. One hopes Messers Brownlee and McCully got the memo.
The final weeks in the political career of Don Brash must have been pretty tough. After the 2002 election, where National won just 21% of the vote, some commentators even wondered whether the party would still be a seen as a major force. Don Brash helped rebuild the party and its support, very nearly leading National to victory on the back of a campaign to cut taxes.
However, I've got to say I've yet to be shocked by any of the allegations or alleged emails in Nicky Hager's book (apparently big business supports National - and the Unions support Labour)... unlike those v-dodgy sounding allegations about Panty slut-boy in the Investigate: Online article. (Not quite the behaviour one expects of a Minister in charge of Child, Youth and Family.)

Recycling Services in Riverside County
In case you are the owner of medical equipment or laboratory equipment, you know that at a certain point each of these pieces of equipment will stop working. So, after a few months or few years, the equipment you are using in your lab or medical facility will become waste. In case you find yourself in a situation like this, you must know what you will do with this waste. Leaving the waste in the local landfill is not only bad for the environment, but it can also bring you fines or even criminal charges (depending on the type of waste). One of the best solutions is to use a well-established recycling service provider like I Global.
I Global is a reputable company that serves Riverside County. We offer our services all over Riverside County. With over 2.1 million residents, Riverside County is among the top 5 most populous counties in the state of California and this number is expected to increase in the near future too. Obviously, one of the main reasons why Riverside County is so attractive is the great local economy in this county. All these things also mean that residents and businesses in Riverside County are creating a huge amount of waste every month. The good news is that business owners and individuals can choose between many different recycling companies in this county, but if you want to be sure that you are dealing with true professionals, we recommend I Global.

Most of my life I've been the lucky one. You know the type; someone who falls into a sewage lagoon and comes out smelling like lilacs. The first weekend in June this year was no exception; and what an incredible experience it turned out to be! If you like music, especially if you're a blues or rock fan and you like to ride, stay with me on this one.
My riding buddy Jim, who has no real job, was on his way to the lake the end of March when he heard a promotion on the radio for a guitar festival in Dallas. You have to understand that ole Jim needs only the slightest excuse to justify a ride somewhere, or anywhere for that matter. He'll go at the drop of a dime to something as blasé as the Mayberry Knitting Festival, never having stitched once or pearled twice, let alone owning an afghan. If he can convince a couple of friends to join him, he'll be packed and waiting, wondering why everyone else isn't ready to go.
So, while I'm toiling away at work, Jim calls and says he just heard about this festival and didn't want to forget it. He asked that I go to the Internet and search for the Eric Clapton Crossroads Festival and send him an e-mail with the link. Truth is I love music and I too, love to ride. This was a no-brainer, the opportunity to ride to a guitar festival meant I could selfishly satisfy two passions on one trip! So I got right after it, found the information and the ride was on.
Friday morning, June 4, four of us headed south on US 69 and rode it all the way to Dallas. The ride itself had its challenges with some battery problems on my buddy Dave's bike and a heavy rainstorm south of McAlester, Oklahoma. But those were just small trials to overcome, considering the reward we were about to receive.
The Crossroads Guitar Festival was created by Eric Clapton with all proceeds going to his Antigua-based education and treatment center for alcoholism and drug addiction, aptly named the Crossroads Centre. The facility is internationally recognized for its quality programs and also provides support for friends and families of those being treated. This year's benefit included a convention hall packed with guitars and amplifiers, a three-day workshop - complete with multiple jam sessions from various artists, and a Christie's auction of some vintage Clapton guitars.
It culminated with an 11 hour concert, jam packed with famous musicians personally invited by Eric to come play. In his own words, "All I did was make a list of people I dreamed of playing with, I wrote to them, and they showed up.' This was not just a list; this was a dream! Artists invited were old blues players Buddy Guy, Bo Diddley and BB King, country picker Vince Gill, Kansas City's own Pat Metheny, acoustic tenor James Taylor, former Journey member Neal Schon, virtuoso Steve Vai, native Kansan Joe Walsh, Texas bluesman Jimmy Vaughan, soul artist Booker T (and the MGs), Latin rocker Carlos Santana, solo legend Jeff Beck, bearded wonders ZZ Top and of course, Mr. Slowhand himself. There were still others, but you begin to get the picture. Vince Gill commented, "If I wasn't invited, I'd come to see it for myself."
The show began and performers continued like a magician who pulls an endless string of scarfs seemingly from the palm of his hand. The Cotton Bowl Stadium began to fill just prior to noon and by sunset, it was packed. The atmosphere was both exhilarating and touching! Each set was distinctive and everyone played like there was no tomorrow. Their performances were emotionally charged because they had been personally invited by perhaps the most respected rock guitarist to ever stretch a string. Invitees took time during their performances to sincerely express their honor and privilege for being chosen. Several were joined on stage by Clapton himself, and all clearly relished the experience. It was extraordinary!
A few of my personal favorites were Joe Walsh's "Walkaway," "Funk 49," and "Rocky Mountain Way," James Taylor's "Something in the Way She Moves," "Country Road" and "Steamroller Blues" accompanied by Joe Walsh on lead guitar, Jimmy Vaughan's "Texas Flood," ZZ Top's "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" and everything and anything Buddy Guy played.
Perhaps the most memorable moment of the evening occurred following an extended jam session that ultimately ended with BB King, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Vaughan and John Mayer all together on the same stage. Throughout this jam, BB kept asking the rhetorical question, "Can we do just one more?" Funny thing was, he asked for one more at least six times. Near the end of the set, BB told the crowd, "I'm 78 years old. I thought the highlight of my life was two weeks ago when I met the Royal family. But I can honestly tell you tonight that the highlight of my life was being on the same stage with all these great players." It was truly moving!
The presence of this respected lineup seemed to move Clapton too. Although he humbly gave the headline role to ZZ Top (which was later cut short by heavy rain), it was him and his band's performance that truly stole the show. He opened with an acoustic set that included songs from his new Robert Johnson tribute album. He followed with "Have You Ever Loved a Woman;" his vocals expressing raw emotion and personal meaning. Then he ventured into the attic and dusted off classics like "Badge," "Layla," "Wonderful Tonight," and "I Shot the Sheriff." Clapton's playing was as deliberate as your grandmother sealing dough for the top crust on an apple pie. His experience, confidence and contentment with his trade were truly evident and honest. He equally shared leads with Texan Doyle Bramhall II. Clapton's stage presence was confident and unassuming and he finished his set with a real crowd favorite, "Cocaine."
I've experienced many shows over my 43 plus years including summer jams from the hazy seventies, and other arena and amphitheater concerts. I don't claim to be a music critic, but I'm convinced without reservation that this show was one for the ages. On our way back to our lodging following the show, we headed out of downtown Dallas incredibly grateful for what we had just been a part of. Just outside of the business loop, we encountered our own Texas Flood, without our rain gear. It didn't matter. The following day, heading home, we caught up with the storm we had experienced the night before. It too didn't matter. Our thoughts were still occupied with memories of the performances we had witnessed and stories that we could share for generations to come.

LOS ANGELES --Shots were fired between Los Angeles Police Department officers and attempted-robbery suspects at a check-cashing business in the Westlake district of Los Angeles Thursday.All three suspects were arrested.
Two men were detained directly after the shootout, but LAPD officers had been hunting for a third suspect Thursday evening with the aid of a K-9 unit and a police helicopter.
That suspect was arrested about 5:30 p.m. after releasing two hostages he had taken in a Westlake apartment, located on the 3000 block of West Fifth Street, according to the LAPD.
The LAPD responded to a report of a robbery at a check-cashing business on the 2900 block of Beverly Boulevard just after 10 a.m.
When officers arrived, they were confronted by suspects and shots were fired. No one was injured in the exchange.

Spurs beat Liverpool at White Hart Lane
Spurs put a huge dent in Liverpool's title chances with a last gasp 2-1 win at White Hart Lane yesterday. Harry Redknapp has now picked up seven points in three games since he took over from Juande Ramos last week.
Liverpool went ahead on three minutes through a Dirk Kuyt strike after some good work by Robbie Keane. Rafa Benitez's side seemed to be coasting but spurned at least ten good chances to seal the win.
It was all looking good until Jamie Carragher scored an own goal from a David Bentley corner. With the rain bucketing down, Roman Pavlyuchenko was on hand to turn home a Darren Bent pass after Reina had saved well from Bentley sending Spurs' fans wild.

Package of 2 white Fender original Strat aged tremolo arm tips for your guitar.
In Stock & Ready To Shipin_stock
Reviewed by 1 customer
Comments about Fender Original Strat Aged Tremolo Arm Tips (2):
They shipped fast, They have a good vintage color. I like the bone (ivory color) over the ice-box white that most stock Fenders and other brands come with. For me it's a huge upgrade in the looks dept. I change over all the guitars I own or work on. Also my PRS guitar has beautiful ivory colored humbucker bezels but came with a black trem-arm knob. With one of these Original Strat Aged Trem Arm Tips (which fit my trem-arm perfectly) it was an easy fix with one drop of super thin super glue. Just press on and let dry.I also recommend the volume and tone knobs and pickup covers. They're great!

Many designs with wireless capabilities require more than one chip to achieve wireless multi-protocol connectivity. It is becoming more prevalent for new designs of connected end-nodes to support two different wireless protocols that work concurrently, for improved functionality and user experience. This is the way forward for the Internet of Tomorrow (IoT).
As this happens, new challenges surface, such as higher costs, complexity, physical space, security, reliability, power consumption, functionality and user experience. Each requirement and development stage of the design is important, but the chip selection is one of the most critical, as it directly impacts how the present and future product development challenges are tackled.
The Kinetis KW41Z MCU, based on the ARM® Cortex® M0+ core, integrates a 2.4GHz transceiver that enables the use of Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) v4.2 and IEEE® 802.15.4 compliant modem, with up to 512Kb of Flash and up to 128Kb of SRAM – enough memory for networking stacks and custom application – all on a single chip.
Supporting true multi-protocol modes, the Kinetis KW41Z device is an exceptional solution for concurrent communication on two of the most used protocols, BLE v4.2 and 802.15.4 based network, such as ZigBee or Thread, with available certified software stacks. This multi-mode capability enables participation in a mesh network and direct communication with a mobile device for local and remote control and monitoring.
AES-128 accelerator and true random number generator enable more secure designs with fast encryption/decryption utilizing hardware security algorithms for network commissioning and transmissions. Additionally, the Kinetis KW41Z MCU facilitates an integral security strategy with over-the-air (OTA) firmware upgrades for application updates.
And for power optimization requirements, nine low power modes are available. Its buck-boost DC/DC converter, supports voltages from 0.9V to 4.2V, reducing peak current in receive mode to 6.8mA and transmit to 6.1mA – facilitating portable, battery-powered solutions without additional components, while delivering excellent link budget, maximizing communication range with higher immunity to interference.
The Kinetis KW41Z makes it easier to overcome the challenges of multi-protocol designs for the IoT.

Jason and his team offers some of the highest level of coaching in the world. Why not reward your most valued clients and potential clients by inviting them to participate in an exclusive Corporate Golfing experience?
More and more golf is now being used as a business tool. Corporate days provide a great setting to entertain and attract current and potential clients. The camaraderie and friendship that is very much a part of golf can easily be carried over to the world of business. ??Corporate Day Clinics also present the amateur golfer with the unique opportunity of having their swings filmed and compared next to one of the best golfers like Tiger Woods and Ernie Els.
At the end of the Clinic the student receives a personalized branded academy video that is forwarded to their email addressthis includes their swing analysis along with a before and after of their golf swing. It is not an everyday occurrence that an amateur golfer gets the chance to be taught in the same way as a Tour Professional!
Jason has conducted numerous corporate Clinics in both Europe and America with some of the world's largest companies, organizations and teams such as: Volvo, Fujitsu Siemens, Canon, Adecco, FC Espanyol, Vodafone, Jazztel, the Chinese National Football Team and many others.
"Jason's high level expertise has provided a valuable service in teaching as well as entertaining our clients. With his knowledge and use of video technology, he has given our corporate clientel regardless of their golfing ability a very memorable day."
"Jason's professional approach has been appreciated by all of us….."

This was the worst purchase made in my life! We waited 2 months for it to arrive, after having to call every week since no one at "furniture pick" let me know what was going on. So 2 months later the recliner arrived.. Cheap quality, noisy, and it stinks! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE & HORRIBLE BUY! (Posted on 1/22/15)

In an effort to separate work from personal time I got myself a new computer to use for all my photo editing,blogging etc. After lots of looking around I ended up getting a Surface Pro. Mainly to be mobile and be able to edit my photos etc when I'm travelling about. It's turned out far better than I had expected. To the point I haven't touched my iPad since I got the Surface Pro. It runs my 1 GB Lightroom database fine and is powerfully enough to run any Photoshop work that I do (Which isn't much). Here's a shot I've been playing around with from the Dwali festival I went to a few weeks back using the Surface Pro.
So with the weather getting better all the time and more things happening around the place, there will be lots more photo trips on the cards. One of which will be tomorrow. A road trip down to Cambridge to the Armistice show. Looking forward to that,especially if the day turns out like today. I should have lots of photos posted in the coming week.
Speaking of photos, About a month or so back a lady by the name of Vicki Leeuwenbu contacted me and asked if she could use a couple of my photographs I had posted up as a base for her paintings. It was pretty cool that she asked, as I wouldn't have ever known. I was more than happy for her to use them especially since she was from where I grew up. So low and behold she flicks me another email last night with a couple of photos of her paintings that she has done based on my photos.
WOW is about all I can say, Vicki is definitely talented.
Well with the planned Auckland traffic interruptions this weekend I ended up head down to the South Auckland gaming club an hour early, to make sure I could actually get there.Turned out I got straight through the traffic, so that worked well and was a good plan which I'll repeated tomorrow for the trip to Cambridge.
Onto gaming, we ran another big game of Pike and Shotte at the club today. Which I've done no more painting on my troops (that's one thing I need to change, less work and more painting required). So it turned out to be 2000 points per side again. Kevin had kindly loaned out his Scotts since he was unable to make it today. John and Grant turned up and joined us in the fun and mayhem as game four took place with the Royalists ahead 2 games to 1 over the Parliamentarians.
We went with even less terrain than all our previous games which I think is the best for such a large scale game. It seemed to work really well and didn't cause any problems as it has in the past. The game flowed nicely.
John handed out a whipping to Bryan's Cavalry on the right flank with some spectacular dice rolling. A total reverse of last months game where I got smashed.
My Cavalry with Dragoon support trying in vain to dislodge Grants Cavalry in the center of the table, while John destroyed all resistance on the right flank and Kavan slowly but surely marched his Scotts across the table rolling over everything in his path.
More chaos and carnage as units exploded. It was a game of extreme dice rolling, with at least 5 blunders, three of which Kavan managed to roll up.
The Scott Lancers getting in behind the Royalists, but charged to there doom as they tried to tackle two medium canons front on.
Glen's awesome looking Royalist handing out some pain (The paint still didn't save them)
With the Royalists broken on the right flank thanks to John's efforts and my Parliamentarians managing to stand in the center of the table, it came down to Kavan and his mighty Scots routing Glen's forces. After a few lucky dice rolls and saves Glen's royalists finally fell to the onslaught of the Scots and the Parliamentarians took a decisive win.
So at two games each there is still no clear winner between the Royalists and Parliamentarians. A great indication of a good set of rules. The decider will have to wait until next year sometime.
The amount of quick carnage was epic and the battle was over in about fours hours. Still fun was had by all.
So next months Club day will see Pike and Shotte taking a back seat as we move onto Field of Glory Ancients in the run up to the Battle Cry tournament in February. So my Vikings will be rolling onto the battle field once again.

It feels to me like email is the most overused form of communication in the workplace today. I've focused a lot on this recently, with a post about how bad email can ruin your team and a guide to writing more effective emails as a leader.
While this site isn't really meant to be focused on email, email seems to be a crutch that is leaned on by leaders and organisations almost everywhere. It's easy to see why this happens.
Processing emails makes us feel like we're doing something
When you go through your email inbox, you probably categorise the list, right? Urgent, not urgent, no need to respond, funny cat video, reply-all email from someone making a private joke with someone else you don't know…
Then you write replies to the emails that need them. Once you have hit send, that email has been "processed" and you have accomplished something, right? Not necessarily.
There are several potential issues with the task you have just "completed".
- Your hastily concocted reply may not have all the required information, forcing the reader to question themselves, read and re-read the email to see whether they've missed something. Ultimately this will result in a back and forth of questions and answers.
- Your reply raises questions for the reader to respond to. Therefore, no work has really been completed at all. You have simply added a delay in solving the problem by forcing the reader to create their own response.
Choosing the right communication method
Email is an overused form of communication, for sure. However, it does facilitate communication across timezones and allows persistent storage of conversations that can be referenced for later use.
What we need to do is choose more appropriate forms of communication depending on the purpose that we require and the circumstance. We also need to take into account the location where we choose to communicate. Don't lay someone off using a personal phone call in the middle of an open-plan office! (It happens – I've seen and heard it myself).
As a leader this is critically important, in order for your team to do their best work and for you to spend your time doing what you're meant to be doing…leading!
Communication methods – simple rules to follow
- Would the person you are communicating with like everyone else to hear what you're saying? If the answer is no, then consider choosing a private location
- Is your communication urgent? If the answer is yes, then consider using real-time methods of communication other than email
- Is your communication relating to sensitive information such as salary or performance? If yes, then consider having these difficult discussions face to face, or by video call if you're in different locations
- Will this communication require discussion? If yes, then shortcut the back and forth emailing and tackle it with real-time communication
- Will your communication possibly result in conflict? If yes, then consider approaching this communication in-person or with real-time communication to avoid misinterpretation and to clear issues up quickly.
The following table is also a useful guide to choosing the right communication method, depending on the circumstance. So use it to help you communicate more effectively!

<font color="00cccc" size=1> When I open a pic that I want to edit in Photoshop, it is tinted red. I have tried to change the color balance and it always looks right when I do this, but when I save it, it looks a bit too green. If I don't adjust the color, then it saves ok, though. How do I get rid of this red tint while editing pics?
(Also: Some pictures don't tint red and anything I actually make in Photoshop doesn't tint red, only some pictures)

Bettie Page Still in Coma
Posted December 12, 2008on:
According to KSBY 6 Action News, as of December 10th, Bettie page is still in a coma. Page was a top student who became a secretary and then went into modeling. She hoped to become a mainstream actress. With her trademark short dark bangs, her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of Playboy magazine. But it was her bondage poses that made her the target of a Senate hearing on obscenity the same year. She never had to testify.
Page was out of the public eye for decades. During that time she became a born-again Christian and had a bout with mental illness. Page resurfaced in the 1990s and occasionally granted interviews but refused to allow her picture to be taken. She told the Los Angeles Times in a March 2006 interview she wanted to be remembered as she was when she was young and in her "golden times."
And she is being remembered today … pictured is a smiling Bettie Page.

A Weekend At Abbots Grange
We stayed as a couple for three nights. The location of Abbots Grange is tremendous with Broadway high street a literal two minute walk away, through a garden gate. The high street has a multitude of tea shops, restaurants, bars and pubs, good shopping, a Budgens supermarket and a superb deli. We walked to the Broadway Tower and explored the now disused nuclear bunker. We had a cream tea at the pleasant cafe, also located there. So there is plenty to do in Broadway for a weekend stay. Abbots Grange itself is a delight. It is a gated property with a Great Hall and an immense amount of history. Upon arrival we were welcomed in and offered tea and cake, which is available to guests every afternoon between 3.00 pm and 5.00 pm. Guests are also made welcome in the Great Hall with complimentary fresh fruit, soft drinks, port and sherry made available. We stayed in the Millet Room at the front of the Grange. The very clean room had a four poster bed, that was very comfortable. We both got very good nights' sleep. There was a fully functioning fireplace in the room, a two seater sofa and a window seat. There was plenty of wardrobe space. Coffee and tea making facilities were available in room. The free wifi was of good quality. The bathroom had a full size tub and shower above. The breakfasts we had were included in the price and were delicious! You are required to decide what you want to eat the next day and specify the time that you will attend breakfast the day before.

One of the most effective energetic hygiene steps is also one of the simplest, most inexpensive, and least esoteric: taking advantage of the natural cleansing ability of salt. Salt has been used in many cultures since ancient times for energetic purification purposes.
A cleansing salt bath
For this exercise, you'll need a 26-ounce container of table salt. It doesn't make any difference energetically if the salt has iodine in it ("iodized") or if it does not ("plain"). But it should be regular and not Epsom salts, which do not have the same cleansing ability.
- Draw a tub full of warm water and pour the entire container of salt into the water. Soak in the bath for 15 to 20 minutes. Sink down into the water so that your body is completely submerged up to your chin. If you sit up in the tub and read while taking this bath, your upper body chakras (energy centers) are not cleansed.
- After you are done, take a regular shower with soap and shampoo. You will emerge feeling calm, light, and refreshed. You may also experience heightened sexual desire afterwards. A salt bath thoroughly cleanses the lower chakras, which frequently get contaminated during the day, particularly if your job involves a lot of sitting.
How frequently you take a salt bath depends on how contaminated you get. If you work in a stressful, energetically dirty environment (indoors, with little fresh air and light, and under fluorescent lights), or with sick or contaminated people (in a hospital), you may need to take a salt bath more frequently than others. In general, though, twice a week is sufficient.
If you wish to make your bath even more cleansing, add up to 20 drops of lavender oil. Lavender contains blue-violet prana and when added to a salt bath, makes for an even more effective and pleasantly fragrant bath. For a different variation that has even greater cleansing ability as well as a different fragrance, add up to 20 drops of tea tree oil or eucalyptus oil to your salt bath. Tea tree oil has green and eucalyptus orange prana; both have a powerful cleansing effect.
NOTE: Do not combine two of these three oils and especially do not combine all three. Mixing them will pull out too much energy, even clean energy.
Salt shower instead of a salt bath
If you don't have access to a bathtub, you can still cleanse yourself with salt. Simply take a container of fine salt with you into the shower, pour a small portion into your palm and then rub it onto your skin, one body part at a time. Pay special attention to your front and back solar plexus chakras. Allow it to stay on the skin for about 15 seconds, then wash it off. A salt shower is not as effective as a salt bath, but it certainly will cleanse away the portions of heavy energetic contamination.
Making and using "salt soap"
Salt soap can also be used in the shower to make for a deeper cleansing process. To make salt soap, all you need is a container of salt and a bottle of liquid soap. Any brand will do. Many people like antibacterial soaps, but others feel they wash away beneficial as well as harmful bacteria.
1. Pour out one-third of the liquid soap. (You can save it in another and add it back into the bottle as you use it up.) Add enough salt to the bottle so that the resulting mixture is slightly gritty but not so thick that it won't pump out of the bottle if you're using a bottle that has a pump on it. To make it even more powerful, add 20 drops of pure lavender essential oil.
2. Shake before using, and you've got a powerful energetic cleansing potion that you can use any time.
A cleansing swim in the ocean
This isn't really an exercise; it's more a tip on how to take advantage of the biggest natural salt bath available, the ocean. Even though shorelines are polluted to varying degrees, the amount of salt in sea water gives you a tremendous opportunity to clean away dirty energy. If you have access to the sea, take advantage of it. It really works. One Pranic Healing student tells the story of how, before her involvement with Pranic Healing, she contracted a serious blood infection following gastrointestinal surgery. After her discharge from the hospital, she was given heavy antibiotics and told to stay in bed for a month. As she contemplated her situation, she recalled a story her husband had told her. He had a cut that had turned gangrenous, so his grandmother took him to the ocean and instructed him to stay in the water all day. He did, and the following day, the gangrene was gone. So, the instructor decided to try the same approach. She booked a flight to Mexico and sat in the ocean for much of the next ten days. Her infection was completely healed.

Ifield Watermill
History of the Building
Ifield Watermill is on the site of an earlier corn mill, known to have been in operation by 1660, but which burned down and was rebuilt in 1683. The current building dates from around 1817, and was in use until corn milling ceased in the late 1920s. The building was derelict until around 1970, when restoration work was begun by a group of local admirers.
Ifield Watermill Museum
Ifield Watermill is administered by Crawley Museum Society, which also runs the Crawley Museum Centre at Goffs Park House.
The mill now contains 4 floors of exhibitions related to the history of the mill and milling, the local iron industry, and local agricultural history.
Ifield Watermill is open to the public between 2.30pm and 5pm on the third Sunday of the month between April and September, as well as on National Mills Weekend, which is normally in May. Admission is free, although donations are welcome.
The watermill has toilets, plenty of free parking (turn left immediately after leaving Hyde Drive), and disabled access to all 4 floors.

This site is aimed at providing a blog for fly fishers in the NW, and especially Oregon, to share info on where the fishing is, which flies are producing the most in that water, the current conditions in that area and maybe ask the same questions about where they are going.
Bounce around the site, become a member, see if you can do a post or two and let me know how it works.
For the fishing reports stop by the "Blog" page and take a look at what's there. If you want to leave one take a minute to join and then make your reports.
I've posted a couple of videos on the Video page. One provides a brief look at the steps used in the Casting Exercise, available at my rod site www.ffpc-rods.com, and one on my stream nymphing technique. Check those out while you're here.
Also, suggestions gladly accepted when it comes to fine tuning this to exactly what we need to get the most out of fly fishing.
So, for now, join in, share and enjoy!

U.S. Dollar Reserves Back New Digital Currency
July 14, 2014
A new digital currency has been launched by a Bitcoin luminary that aims to solve the volatility issue that has plagued the decentralized cryptocurrency since its popularity began to soar. Realcoin, a startup based in Santa Monica, Calif., recently unveiled a digital currency backed by the U.S. dollar. The company, co-founded by former child actor and early Bitcoin investor Brock Pierce (The Mighty Ducks, First Kid), said it will use the Bitcoin protocol for transactions, but back realcoins one-to-one with a reserve of greenbacks.
"Unfortunately, there has been confusion for people between the currency called bitcoin and the technology called bitcoin, when they are distinctly different things," co-founder and CEO Reeve Collins told the Wall Street Journal. "We are digitizing the dollar and giving that digital dollar access to the bitcoin blockchain."
Because each realcoin is worth one U.S. dollar, the speculation that has contributed to Bitcoin's popularity and volatility as an investment will be tempered, the company contends. It will maintain a real-time record of all U.S. dollar reserves and the full record will be authenticated by the blockchain.
"Realcoin will be completely transparent, safe, secure and insured," the company said in a statement. "Every dollar that is held in our reserve will be represented by one coin in circulation and can be redeemed at any time."

First and foremost, I want to wish you all a Wonderful New Year and a BIG THANK YOU for being part of the 2016 PhotoChallenge.
Here it is, my first PhotoChallenge of the year. Keeping up with my traditional Outdoor Photography themes, I'll be bringing a multitude of different techniques to apply in both urban and natural settings. As you all know by now, every 4th 2016 PhotoChallenge will be a guest post from one of you. You're all welcome to volunteer and contact me with your contribution to become one of our next Guest Challengers.
Snowy Winter Scenes are a real challenge on this El Niño year. Suisse Romande, the western French speaking part of Switzerland has yet to accumulate any snow in the lower elevations. Montreal, Canada had no snow for Christmas and this weekend the temps are above freezing. Winter snow storms are translating into torrential downpours. Southern California has been anything but sunny.
For this second PhotoChallenge of the year, I decided to get us to photograph a point of view from under a bridge. One, it will keep the rain off our heads. Second, it's challenging from a composition point of view. The true challenge remains lighting. It's generally darker under the bridge than it is out in the open. Since I want you to include parts of the bridge's understructure, I'm making this an HDR PhotoChallenge.
I chose to photograph my PhotoChallenge image above with a full-frame fisheye lens. Your perspective will vary greatly depending on the focal length of the lens you choose. I added an extra ounce of challenge by including the bright soon to set Sun piercing through the clouds in my image. I also applied a little defishing to the final image to give it a more linear feel.
As illustrated by my RAW Image Thumbnails above, I initially shot 10 images each at 1.5 stops interval. This allows me to get some detail in the bright sunlit areas to the poorly lit underparts of the bridge. In post processing I selected only 5 of the 10 images, those I felt gave me the range I needed to get the most out of every area of my composition. To keep things simple I used LightRoom's HDR merge and completed to final image adjustments in Photoshop. Third Party dedicated HDR software will give you a much higher image quality. On the flip side, you can use the built in HDR features of your camera or smartphone as in the image below.
To complete this challenge I highly suggest you use a tripod. Even when using the built in HDR camera functions, stability is your best friend. Your image will need to illustrate a landscape/cityscape style view from under a bridge. It must also include elements of the underparts of a bridge's structure. Depending on your focal length you may end up slightly next to the bridge. Please be careful not to put yourself in arms way of falling objects. Remember snow plows also clear bridges projecting snow to either side.
I want to stress that for the 2016 PhotoChallenge, we're emphasizing taking your time to properly compose and capture your scene. This is meant to be photography, not a snapshot session. The final result should be a well composed image with well balanced light that is pleasing to the eye. Don't be afraid to experiment with manual settings, different apertures and shutter speeds. In the right circumstances, long exposures can add a dramatic effect.
The rules are pretty simple:

Concept design sounds easy, right? A bunch of engineers, sitting around, brainstorming. Although the concept phase sounds as simple as sitting down and spouting off ideas, it's much more time and thought consuming. Creating a product from start to finish is an all-around labor intensive process, and the concept phase is only a small part of the overall product development process, but getting it right is crucial.
We often assist many of our customers with their concept phase, sometimes as the lead, sometimes as part of the team. Our engineers have collectively logged many thousands of hours throughout their careers on this phase alone. In the concept phase there are several steps involved. We first sit down with the customer and find out their initial wants, needs and must haves. Now let me tell you, you can't have it all. Customers don't always like to hear this, but it's the unfortunate truth. There are tradeoffs that need be explored, questions of form vs. function, manufacturability vs. salability and cost vs. well, everything (time, etc.)… And no, we haven't touched the design yet.
Once the customer's product and regulatory requirements have been established and categorized (Must / Want / Nice to have), next comes the design concept. This includes sketches, 2D models and eventually 3D renderings. Doing all this first on paper, a dry erase board or in a program is going to be more cost effective as opposed to creating a million prototypes. Not to worry, I'm sure there will be plenty of iterations there too, but hopefully not as many as you're going through on paper.
Considering all of these variables in the beginning sounds a bit excessive, but it's not. Most of the manufacturing costs are committed during the concept phase. It's only a small fraction of residual costs that will follow. Whatever side you're on, marketing or accounting, manufacturing or design, trust me when I say it's important to take your time during the concept phase. You're going to save yourself a lot money and frustration in the long run. And let's be real, who doesn't want to save time and money?

By Michelle Nichols
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council is set to sanction Abubakar Shekau, leader of Nigeria's Boko Haram, and its faction Ansaru, the first individual and entity to be designated by the world body since the Islamist militant group was blacklisted last month.
Russia has delayed the process by placing a technical hold on the designations, but diplomats say it is simply to give Moscow more time to complete its review of the proposal made by Nigeria to the Security Council al Qaeda sanctions committee.
"We would expect those listings to be approved and they would be sanctioned perhaps by the end of the week or early next week," said a senior council diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Once Russia lifts the hold, Shekau and Ansaru would be banned from international travel and have their assets frozen.
Last month, the Security Council al Qaeda sanctions committee blacklisted Boko Haram at the request of Nigeria, following global outrage when the group kidnapped more than 250 girls from a secondary school in remote northeastern Nigeria on April 14.
The Islamist militant group was described in the U.N. listing as an affiliate of al Qaeda and the Organization of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). It is subjected to a travel ban, an asset freeze and an arms embargo.
Boko Haram faction Ansaru, which is blamed for the killing of several Western hostages, is AQIM's bona fide affiliate in Nigeria, and called itself "al Qaeda in the Land Beyond the Sahara" in a video with a British and Italian hostage in 2011.
Ansaru broke off from Boko Haram in protest at its killing 186 mostly Muslim civilians in the medieval Islamic city of Kano in early 2012.
Shekau is the purported leader of Boko Haram. A year ago, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry authorized a reward of up to $7 million for information leading to his location.
Boko Haram's five-year-old insurgency is aimed at reviving a medieval Islamic caliphate in modern Nigeria, whose 170 million people are split about evenly between Christians and Muslims. The group is becoming, by far, the biggest security threat to Africa's top oil producer.
Boko Haram, which in the Hausa language broadly means "Western education is sinful," is loosely modeled on the Taliban movement in Afghanistan.
Nigeria's government and army say they are doing all they can to free the schoolgirls, and know where they are being held. They have ruled out exchanging them for militant prisoners and say any bid to force their release could lead to a bloodbath.

Match Preview - Keele Crusaders
The Keele Crusaders come to West Park this Saturday to face the Gryphons in the final regular season game of the 2016-17 BUCS season, as both sides look to end their campaigns on a high note after impressive runs of form.
Keele came into the new year with an 0-3 record and looking doomed to occupy one of the bottom spots in the division come the season's end. However, a shock 6-0 overtime victory over the previously undefeated Liverpool Raptors sent shockwaves throughout the conference and the Crusaders built on that by comprehensively beating Chester Legion 46-6 two weeks ago. As such Keele come into this game with a 2-3 record, still 6th in the division but with potential to move up to 3rd and a possibility of claiming a playoff appearance with it should they bag a victory over the Gryphons this weekend.
Despite wrapping up the division title and with it promotion last weekend with a 15-6 victory over the Raptors, Leeds have their own motivations for victory in this fixture too. As well as a desire to finish the season with a perfect record, an unthinkable prospect to many outside the organisation coming into this season, the result of this game will have a large impact on the Gryphons' seeding in the Division 2 Northern playoffs which begin in two weeks time. A win, and results going Leeds' way in the Borders division would hand the Gryphons the number 1 seed, whereas defeat could drop the Gryphons to 3rd and give them a harder, and much more travelled, route navigating the playoffs.
How the Gryphons cope with a stingy Keele defence will have a large impact on the outcome of this fixture, the Crusaders giving up only 6 points since Christmas, and have held everyone except the Bangor MudDogs to under 20 points this season. The key will be in Leeds' ability to stay calm against a defensive unit that will be tough to move the ball against.
Expect and entertaining tie between two sides going into this fixture on a high after respective winning streaks.
Chester Legion W 50-0
Bangor MudDogs W 26-24
Edge Hill Vikings W 28-6
Bradford Bears W 50-14
Liverpool Raptors W 15-6
Bradford Bears L 6-18
Bangor MudDogs L 0-35
Edge Hill Vikings L 6-15
Liverpool Raptors W 6-0 (OT)

Kickoff is at 16:30 on Saturday 18th February.

I have been teaching one period of science at a lower income school for the past week. It has been a bit of a rollercoaster - one day the kids will really struggle then the next they will be great. Well, yesterday was awful! I saw some kids totally checked out of the lesson - a lesson I had worked hours on!
We were doing a review of the digestive system so they would be ready for a grade-wide assessment and a few kids weren't even taking notes on their worksheets!
Well, I realized that it wasn't their fault they weren't engaged, it was my fault for not finding a way to reach them. I went home and looked for advice on inspiring low income students in science. I found a great article that said that low income families speak a different language than middle income families. As a result these kids don't know how to ask for help from a teacher (or the teacher can't understand when they are asking for help).
I realized that my biggest distractors were probably not understanding what was going on, but didn't want to look stupid to the other kids. My problem was how to work with these kids without bringing attention to the fact that I was singling them out.
I came up with the idea to assign the kids into "random" groups. I put all the kids I wanted to work with in the group near the front so I could linger there without looking like I was focusing on one group.
It worked so great! The first time I had put the kids in groups it had been a disaster because I couldn't be with every group the whole time and they quickly lost focus if I walked away. Well, this time it was amazing! They were working together so complete their assignment! Even the group I had planned on babysitting was doing great without me!
I was so happy I was practically dancing! We are going to try it again tomorrow for an experiment - I hope it still works!

What is our Virtual Corporation and how does it work?
Dash is DigitalCash
Dash is a decentralized cryptographic currency that works similar to Bitcoin, but fixes many of Bitcoin's problems. Dash's InstantX technology makes transactions almost instant, meaning it is suitable for in-person trades and point-of-sale purchases. Not only that, but Dash is truly private, meaning that nobody can mine the blockchain to find details of your purchases or financial history. You wouldn't advertise your credit card statement–why advertise your crypto purchases?
Dash is built from Bitcoin's core code, meaning that it remains compatible with systems that are already designed to work with Bitcoin. The creator of Dash, Evan Duffield, works with a "core team" of almost 20 people to continually improve the Dash code and ecosystem. Since Dash implemented its self-funding mechanism, a number of new developers have begun working on various aspects of the project as well, including retail point-of-sale and vending machine integration.
Dash's masternodes enable investors to earn a 10+% annual return on investment while performing vital services for the network. Masternodes power both the privacy and instant transaction features of Dash. Not only that, but masternode owners are able to vote on which projects will receive Dash's monthly self-generated budget funding. Dash's budget system provides tens of thousands of dollars in recurring funds, every month, which masternode owners allocate to projects designed to improve the Dash ecosystem.
