Onesize silk kimono with string waist. The kimono is made from recycle Indian silk sari. The saris are all unique and different in both weaving and quality. For us it is essential that they are up-cycled, and we put great effort and joy in selecting the most beautiful sari in pattern, color and quality.

The kimono must be treated with care as it is recycled and recommended care is to washed it separately and by hand. Can contain surplus color.

The owners of the Miami Heat are also the builders of illegal Israeli Settlements in Palestine
The Miami Heat is largely an Israeli-owned organization. The Arison family, one of the wealthiest families in the world, has owned the team from its early years in the 1980s. Its patriarch, Ted Arison, was the son of Romanian settlers who, in 1882, helped (along with Baron Edmond James de Rothschild) to establish of Zikhron Ya'akov, one of the first Jewish agricultural colonies in Palestine in the late nineteenth century. His father, Meir, was a multi-millionaire in his own right, owning the largest shipping company in Palestine under British Mandate. Ted served in the nascent Israeli army after the unilateral Israeli declaration of independence in 1948 that literally wiped Palestine off the map.
In 1990, Ted Arison renounced his U.S. citizenship, in an effort to avoid estate tax in the United States and returned to Israel to found Arison Investments. In 1997, he led a business consortium that purchased a controlling share in Israel's Bank Hapoalim for more than $1 billion, a deal that marked the largest privatization in Israel's history. Sadly, his died just nine months shy of being able to reap the benefits of his tax avoidance scheme.
The Arison Group, in addition to its Carnival and Miami Heat holdings, also owns the Israeli Shikun & Binui construction and real estate development behemoth which operates not only in Israel, Asia and Africa, but also in the occupied and colonized Palestinian territories.
"God can always help; we need him on our side against Dallas," joked Katz, back in 2006 when the Heat were poised to play the Mavericks. "Every Israeli must support us; they must go the Western Wall and pray for us. Miami Heat is no less Israeli than Maccabi. This is also a group with Israeli ownership in which many Americans play."

Sidi Nazim Baksh on the controversy over the visits of Habib Ali Al-Jifry and Shaykh Ali Gomaa to Masjid Alaqsa in Jerusalem
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
By Nazim Baksh
The Ikhwan and the Salafist political parties might be making electoral gains in the Middle East, but it appears a growing chorus of religious scholars is determined to test their commitment to the democratic ideals they so ardently espouse.
Among the scholars who are refusing to dance to the Ikhwan's tune are Habib Ali Al-Jifry and Shaykh Ali Gomaa. Shaykh Ali Gomaa is Egypt's Grand Mufti, a position that carries the weight of centuries of Muslim legal history. Habib Ali, on the other hand, is a rare type of public intellectual, admired by many Muslims both in the East and the West for the clarity of his religious commitments.

As if preparing for SQL Server Days wasn't sufficient to keep me fully occupied, I was once again involved in the process of book publication…
And no, I didn't write it – though I had been asked for it many months ago – no, that not-to-be-underestimated task was for Marlon Ribunal (b|t) and Mickey Stuwey (b|t).
My role was Technical Reviewer so I read and commented on all chapters regarding their technical content. But that's not all, I also pointed out typos, my drive to perfection can't just ignore those
The book which I reviewed is called SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Blueprints and is published by Packt Publishing.
So if you're (relatively) new to SQL Server Reporting Services this should be a good read for you.
The book is mainly aimed at report developers though I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if administrators had a read through it too. In fact, a couple of the chapters contain material that should be known by every SQL admin who needs to support BI deployments.
The book starts with the basics and gradually builds up to designing more complex reports. This gives everyone a good chance to understand the basics before delving into more complex material. By the end of chapter 6 you'll have used all components needed for SSRS report development, which is a good thing!
So go out, get a copy and start reading about John Kirkland's tale!
Happy reading!

Does the book make a good quick reference? Do you recall if it includes instructions on how to get a matrix in Report Builder 3.0 to populate multiple tabs with headers and subtotals? I tried applying your excllent instructions on splitting up a table to multiple tabs, but it just effectively cut the matrix in half and put it on two tabs… Thanks!!

A response to the editorial piece in the New York Times: Publicly, We say #MeToo. Privately, We have Misgivings, written by Daphne Merkin January 5th of 2018.
First off, who does the author mean by we?
Is "we" women and men who have bought and sold the package of patriarchy on bent knee? I am not sure, but I know that "we" does not include me nor the women I know who have a dog in this fight; the fight for gender equality.
I do agree that movements, if fortunate enough to gain acceleration, can go too far, sometimes. Give it up for momentum. There is, after all, such things as harmless flirtations, and as the author writes, expressing sexual interest can be messy. It's nerve wrecking, right? I've been there. I think most adults have. You're interested, you're not sure if they are, maybe you lean in for a kiss, maybe they kiss back, or perhaps pull away. So, in that respect, I completely agree with the author. It would be a disservice to women, and men if every flirtation, advance or come-on was policed. Cupid is confusing enough, without adding mandatory applications just to play the game of love, but, let's be fair, that is not what the #MeToo movement is about, now is it?
The author states:
"Expressing sexual interest is inherently messy, and frankly, nonconsensual—one person, typically the man, bites the bullet expressing interest in the other…"
This is where I feel begin to feel dizzy. Firstly, I'm a woman and have bitten the said bullet, one apparently only men bite, expressing interest, only to be served rejection, cold. Secondly, sexual interest is sometimes unrequited, yes, sometimes mutual, yes, but how can it be non-consensual? Since when did one need consent to have interest in someone? It's the acting on the interest that can be nonconsensual. It is when unwanted sexual interest is taken from script to action that we have a problem. We as in all of us who have been victimized. However, for many young girls and women (and frankly, some young boys and men), pulling away means nothing. The word NO means nothing. Unfortunately for young girls and women, we have an entire culture that drowns out all of our No's. We (as in women) are living and breathing a culture that blatantly encourages sexual harassment.
That is why the #MeToo movement is needed. The #MeToo movement is not a witch hunt. It is about damn time, a day late, and one that needs to keep adapting and evolving until women can recognize gender equality as something more than a daydream, and not just for women in the United States, but for women all across this globe, and let's take it a step further: Eliminate all -isms from society (racism, classism, speciesism). This is our (all of us) march.
One example that the author uses to back up her point that the #MeToo movement is going too far is what I will refer to as the "Balthus problem."
"Consider the fact that the campaign last month against the MET (Metropolitian Museum of Art) to remove a Balthus painting that shows a young girl in a suggestive light was organized by two Manhattan feminist. Fortunately, they were unsuccessful. This is kind of censorship practiced by religious zealots."
In one fell swoop, the author dismisses the whole petition against the Balthus paintings without ever telling you anything about Balthus's obsession with young girls, whom he painted in sexually suggestive ways. These prepubescent models were, also, oftentimes taken as his lovers. Balthus's is quoted describing his interest in one such younger girl whom he eventually married, a girl twenty-nine years younger than he: "Empire of a Girl: I just have to enter it to be completely lost. And she is as I would like a girl to be. Adorable atmosphere of tasting precocious children, cups of hot chocolate with cream and love." His second wife, Setsuko Ideta, was thirty-five years his senior. The particular painting two New York women petitioned against, "Therese Dreaming," features an eleven-year-old girl with her legs open, panties showing. Petitioning against such paintings is not, as the author writes, "the kind of censorship practiced by religious zealots." It is a rational reaction to images of young girls being depicted in sexually provocative ways, girls who were more than likely also sexually assaulted by Balthus.
The author writes:
"It goes without saying that no one is coming to the defense of heinous sorts, like Kevin Spacey and Matt Lauer. But the trickle-down effect to cases like those of Garrison Keillor, Johnathon Schwartz, Ryan Lizza, and Al Franken, in which the accusations are scattered, anonymous, or, as far as the public knows, very vague and unspecific, has been troubling."
Again, another fell swoop and the author dismisses legitimate allegations without presenting any hard facts for the reader. Let's take Al Franken for a moment. What floats around on Facebook memes, with captions such as, "Fake Grabbing Boobs is Not Rape," is what appears to be a nonsensical photo of a man pretending to grope a woman's breasts while she sleeps. At a quick glance, honestly, it looks harmless. And honestly, it's a pose I have done to others, in jest- albeit while they were awake. However what makes Al's incident a bit more than harmless play is three-fold 1). This was not a woman he had an established relationship with, and actually one, who had made it clear to him that she was not interested in any sexual conduct with him after he had tried to forcibly kiss her during a comedy skit (A skit including, conveniently, a kiss that he wrote into the script, and one that she stated she was uncomfortable with). 2). The picture was taken while the woman was asleep, and therefore unable to object to the way the photo was poised. 3). Eight other women have come forward, so far, against Franken for very similar allegations (unwanted sexual contact, groping) made by his first accuser.
The author goes on, "In our current climate, to be accused is to convicted. Due process is nowhere to be found."
I agree with the author that heads should not roll without investigation or due process, but I would like to have an example of a man who has had his empire crumbled based on a vague unsubstantiated allegation. I can provide numerous examples of men who have committed sex crimes, and walked away scot-free, as the saying goes. The author uses the word, "flirtation." What man has been ran out his castle for a flirtation? If there is an example of cases like this, present it to the public for scrutiny. Inventing a phantom to rally around with the intention of discrediting a legitimate movement is at best a misjudgment and at worse corruption. It reminds me of the Right's creation of the Welfare Queen. Apparently, this Queen, a woman (conveniently), has several children, eats expensive shrimp daily, and drives a Cadillac, all while sucking the government boob bone dry. So far, this Queen remains elusive, and from the fog, all we can really glimpse are wealthy white men in suits collecting corporate welfare checks in the billions.
The author then asks:
"What happened to women's agency? That's what I find myself wondering as I hear story after story of adult women who helplessly acquiesce to sexual demands."
She then goes on to state that she has known plenty of women who have been propositioned for intimacy and from their own agency, said No. Yes, this happens. I personally have been in situations where I have turned down offers for sex, relationships and all that lies in between the two. However, I have also been in situations where a NO meant nothing. Many of us have. And I can guarantee that the missing variable was not our lack of courage or inability to fight, but rather a predator/s in the mist. The difference between situations where a simple NO worked and situations where it did not work is NEVER a sign of weakness on the part of the survivor but rather a sign of weakness within the abuser/s. To place the blame on the survivor is not only ridiculous, it is cold. Engage in a short thought experiment for a moment: If someone was robbed, how silly would it sound if the detective asked: "I know people who were able to beat the robber up, and keep their stuff, why weren't you able to do this, too? And then went on, "Perhaps, you are just weak, or lack agency."
There is one other thing I agree with the author on. She states:
"Stripping of sexual eros isn't the solution. Nor is calling out individual offenders, one by one. We need a broader and more thoroughgoing overhaul, one that begins with the way we bring up our sons and daughters."
Hands down, touching toes, I agree. And it highlights my main beef with the #MeToo movement. I just don't think toppling every man who has allegations in his closet will solve the problem of sexism. Sexism does not exist in a vacuum nor does it reside in the hearts of a few misguided men. It's in the broth, baby. Sexism is so embedded in our society that it has rendered itself nearly invisible. Women cannot turn on a TV, flip through a magazine, or play a pop song without a very distinct message: women are sex objects, and men are the doers of those objects. A quick scan of our billion dollar porn industry shows exactly where women sit on the totem pole; we don't sit, we kneel and with a glob of cum on our face, appropriately called, "the money shot. "Appropriately because our bodies and our desires were bought and sold a long time ago.
Signaling out every man who grabs a woman's bum is just a band-aid job. Men who engage with women as if they were nothing more than objects for male pleasure are only playing by the script society has given them. If we want to solve the problem, we have to get to the source; society is the source. Society needs a trial, not every Tom, Dick and Harry. Let me be clear, society, not the #MeToo movement, needs a trial.

It has been just days since the Reserve Banks of India (RBI) introduced Rs 2,000 currency notes to the public, issuing them in exchange for Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes that were scrapped as legal tender by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8, and it seems the first fake note of the denomination has already surfaced.
A trader in Karnataka was reportedly duped by an unknown individual with a poorly photocopied Rs 2,000 currency note, primarily because the former was not aware of the features of the high-denomination currency note, which can be found here.
A case of cheating — under Section 420 of the IPC — has been registered in this regard with the Basavanahalli police station in the Chikkamagaluru district of Karnataka, local police sources told International Business Times, India. The case is not at the Chikamaglur Police Station, as has been mentioned in some reports.
Sources from the police station said Ashoka Gowda, an onion trader by profession, had been handed the fake currency note by an unidentified person early in the morning on Saturday, November 12, to pay for a specific purchase at the local agricultural produce market committee (APMC) bazaar.
Gowda accepted the currency note, but when he later showed it to others in the APMC market, they pointed out to him that it did not look original. That was when he approached the local police station, registering a complaint around 8 a.m. on Saturday. A sub-inspector has already been assigned as the investigating officer in the case and is probing the incident, the local police source told IBTimes India.
Features that should have been spotted
The Central government and the RBI decided to scrap the older high-denomination notes and bring in the new Rs 2,000 notes for a variety of reasons, among which was the crackdown on fake currency notes. The current case should not mean that that crackdown failed, simply because this was an isolated incident.
As is evident from the photo above, Gowda should have immediately spotted that the note was fake, due to a number of discrepancies between it and the original. And even if he could not see it, his sense of touch should have told him that it felt too flat, as opposed to the originals, which have a number of their writings slightly raised.

The first time we saw Brian Keith Thompson's piercing-packed feed, we instantly fell in love with his work. From dainty cartilage piercings to his cool takes on the constellation trend, he clearly has a knack for body art. And we aren't the only ones who think so, either; he's worked with Beyoncé and Bella Thorne — and more recently, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone. Brian has made a name for himself by keeping his celeb clients' piercings secret — but he did drop a few hints about the new ear jewelry that Jennifer and Emma have yet to reveal.
"I did lobe and cartilage piercings," he says. "They got a bit of both. It was my first time working with them, so I was very flattered. I had a great time — I probably had more fun piercing them than they did getting pierced!" As far as his favorite piercing moment goes, though, that honor still goes to Beyoncé. "When I saw the Lemonade album cover and knew that I did a few of those, it was really cool," he says. "She's one of the most down-to-earth people I've met."

After failure to meet with the six political parties of the opposition, Monday, Oct. 13, the head of state Joseph Michel Martelly met with former President Rene Preval, in the context of political consultations this Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2014.
Within the framework of political consultations in progress, the President of the Republic, His Excellency Mr. Michel Joseph Martelly, received this Tuesday, Oct. 14, at the National Palace, former President Rene Preval. On this occasion, the Office of Communication of the Presidency invites the broadcast media, print and television from 1: 00 PM
The Office of Communication of the Presidency already thanked the media for the wide coverage they give these talks.
This is one of the very few political appearances Preval, Martelly's predecessor, who seemed to have withdrawn after the lapel of his dolphin Jude Celestin.
Meanwhile, no date has yet been set for the meeting to be held with the six opposition parties, said the coordinator of the Patriotic Movement of the Democratic Opposition (MOPOD), Jean Andre Victor.
A letter from the Executive would have been sent to Senator Jean William Jeanty to brief the political parties of the meeting of Monday, October 13.
Not having time to read the letter, Jeanty could not communicate to the different political entities, says coordinator MOPOD platform.
Furthermore, the content of the letter does not address the concerns of opposition senators, which would have required the executive to enter into negotiations with the political parties of the opposition, does he know.
At a meeting, Friday, Oct. 3, the four senators advised Martelly to undertake negotiations instead of consultations with the six political entities.
"We will not participate in political consultations but we are available to participate in a process of transparent and well planned negotiations," insists Victor.
Senator Wesner Polycarpe sees either no way to pre-electoral crisis from political consultations of the Head of State.
Initiated since September 2014, political consultations would be initiated by Martelly with different sectors of national life to pave the way for the organization of legislative, municipal and local elections in arrears for more than 3 years.
These elections have been announced for the first quarter of next year as the end of the mandates of the deputies and several senators in office expires next January.
This week, Senator Simon Dieuseul Desras wished to recall that senators were sworn September 9, 2009 and therefore the end of their term, is 9 September 2015.
Until there is another deal in the Senate, Wesner Polycarpe fixed the term of office of members and half of the 20 sitting senators for the second Monday in January 2015.

Fat Calves and Hot Boots. They only time they work together is in that sentence I just wrote.
Not on a body. Just in words.
I just had some Hot Boots delivered from Mod Cloth. I am a Mod Clothaholic. Here are said Hot Boots of which are longer in stock because I got one of the last pair:
They are NOT leather, but they are affordable. And you don't say 'man-made' anymore. That is sooo 2010. You say 'Vegan' because yes they are delicious and no animals were injured in the making of these boots.
But men's hearts will break when they see me in these boots, thus sustaining injury.
If only I could get them on.
The laces that I were counting on for some 'give' are merely decor. When I realized this I panicked
a little A LOT! I put them on and
Dang. Stoppage. Right about mid calf. They were on but they had a slouch look to them. And that is so 2000whatever. I wanted to wear them over jeans and that just ain't happening. I can't wear them over tights, or skin no less.
So I went online to see if I could chat with someone at Mod Cloth about my predicament. Now, I am no stranger to online customer service encounters, but what I got this time threw me for a loop.
The name of the person with whom I would be chatting with was Christine, but the image of this person screamed STEVE. How was I supposed to tell Christeve about my fat calves? So this is how I handled it. (click the picture to read it if you are over 40, makes it bigger)
Now I'm pretty sure that I'm chatting with a woman, if only she would complain about her fat calves…………
I probably will keep the Hot Boots. I will try to make them stretch a bit. If not.. they are an 8 1/2, so if one of you skinny calved little @#*! want them let me know.
These boots DO fit! And you know I've needed some red boots for a very long time. Christeve thought they were awesome too.
So I may have Fred Flinstone legs, but I've got Wilma's style!

I listened to an interesting interview with a doctor on the radio in my car that discussed the claim that 1 in 3 Americans use Google to search out medical problems. According to PEW research and reported by Global News in Canada, 35 percent of American adults self-diagnosed this way and 41 percent of people who self-diagnosed have had their diagnosis confirmed by their doctor. My thinking is that it allows people to learn more about their condition and be more informed when discussing treatment options with their doctor.
I did the same thing when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It is conceivable that a cancer diagnosis will have anyone burying their head in their laptop reading what they can about the disease. It is amazing to me that civilization got this far without a computer; I can hardly fathom now how I managed to acquire a university degree with only a typewriter and research books – way back when.
A doctor was being interviewed about this new research and he had an interesting take. I wish I had paid more attention to his name since he is a doctor that I suspect most of his patients are not only satisfied with but thrilled to have. This doctor stated that he thought that it was a good thing that patients had done their research and brought their information to discuss with him. In fact, he said that he had learned something new from one of his patients about elderberry juice for a condition and that he actually found the research in a clinical journal to back it up. Not all doctors react the same way. I have heard stories from other patients who have had doctors snub their data and laugh at the thought that they knew something he or she might not, or act offended that the patient wouldn't rely solely on them.
I am on the side of self-knowledge. It is empowering and encouraging to know as much as you can about your diagnosis and your treatment options. It directs you to ask more specific questions, it helps you to make better decisions about your treatment and it gives you the ability to better understand your doctor. The only danger that I truly see is that many people wrongly diagnose a condition and then choose not to go to a doctor. I am also concerned about misinformation. I love Google and Wikipedia as much as the next web surfer, but I wouldn't rely on those sites for solid info, I use it for quick info and then take my time using medical search engines to find academic articles and solid research studies. You can find a list of these from the American College of Surgeons.
Knowledge is power, especially when your life is at stake. When it comes to cancer, your life is at stake and feeling like a partner with your doctor is important and necessary. If your doctor dismisses your need for information, or refuses to listen to new research you have found, find another doctor. A truly excellent doctor is always interested in learning, even if it is from his or her own patients.
Enjoy the day!

TV Glossary:
Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio determines how you see an image on your television screen. The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of the width of the image to its height, expressed as two numbers separated by a colon. The two most common aspect ratios for televisions in the United States are 4:3 which is used for standard-definition video formats and 16:9 which is used for high-definition video formats. The 16:9 image format is the same aspect ratio used in widescreen movies and is commonly referred to as "widescreen." Other aspect ratios exist, but are used very infrequently.
Watching a 16:9 or wide-screen format DVD or video on a TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio will produce those familiar black bars (letterbox bars) on the top and bottom of the screen. Conversely, viewing a program presented in 4:3 aspect ratio on a TV with a 16:9 ratio will produce similar bars on either side of the screen. Viewing a widescreen DVD or video on a TV with a 16:9 ratio will produce an image that fills the screen form top to bottom and side-to-side. Thankfully, many TVs have features that allow for adjusting the aspect ratio to suit your viewing preference or match the presentation of the program you are watching.
Contrast Ratio: This refers to the difference between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks a TV can display. The key thing to consider is how "black" your blacks will be. A higher contrast ratio means a deeper black. In addition, a higher contrast ratio also means you can have more ambient light in the room without washing out the on-screen color.
DLP Technology: DLP technology is an advanced imaging system that uses an optical semiconductor to manipulate light digitally. Simply put, it's a small chip that contains up to 2 million micro-mirrors. These tiny mirrors can reflect a digital image onto a screen or other surface with remarkable clarity, color and brightness. The drawback? DLP sets require periodic bulb changes at approximately 10,000 hour intervals. Bulbs can be expensive. Luckily, they do not have to be replaced very often.
Frame Rate: A TV's frame rate describes how many times it makes a complete picture on the screen every second. Again, the higher the number, the faster images are processed. This makes a difference when watching fast-moving action or playing fast-paced video games with lots of action. The two most common numbers you'll see are 720p and 1080i.
What do the 'I' and 'p' mean? The 'I' indicates that the TV draws images using an interlaced method. The 'p' indicates that the TV draws images using a progressive scan method. In general, progressive scan renders images faster and produces a more detailed, more film-like image.
HDMI:High-definition multimedia interface, or HDMI, is a type of connector cable that carries both all-digital audio and video signals over a single cable, eliminating the need for separate cables to connect your audio and video components. No more tangled mess of cables! In addition, HDMI cables deliver the best possible digital quality signals for both audio and video.
Resolution: This refers to the number of pixels being used to project an image. Generally, the larger the numbers, the better the resolution and the picture quality.
Response Time:This refers to the time it takes a pixel to change state from black-to-white-to-black again. In general, the faster the response time, the better the picture, especially when viewing fast action in movies, sports, and video games. Plasma and CRT televisions have virtually instantaneous response time, while LCD models tend to be a bit slower. The slower response time can result in what is referred to as "image lag" or a slight blurring of fast-moving images.

I was more balanced with my personal time and my overall stress level dramatically decreased." – Wendy, Sales Professional - Bellevue, WA
"In just two sessions, Shandel gave me life-changing insight into my behavior, resulting in an immediate improvement of my relationships with co-workers. Her compassion is evident; her truth telling ruthless. The combination made it possible for me to hear her feedback and adapt my behavior appropriately." – Lynn, Principal - Seattle, WA
"Shandel Slaten presided over a half day of our corporate sales meeting for the second year in a row. Many existing communication barriers have been reduced through her coaching. She had our entire division buzzing with enthusiasm and comraderie. The energy is contagious. " Daryl, CEO – Seattle, WA
"Thank you so much for coming to Washington this week and conducting a public policy retreat focused on moving us to a "high performance team ". We have already begun to incorporate the suggestions that you put forth to capitalize on the strengths and weaknesses of each team member. Adrienne, Vice President, Public Policy – Washington, DC
"Shandel and I have been working together for over a year on an executive coaching level as well as with my employees. We had some dysfunctional areas and challenges with trust, communication, and belief on one another. Through Shandel's love, experience and knowledge we are now running on all cylinders and working towards our common goals as an organization and as individuals. Shandel has been key to our success. She is an expert in working with all kinds of companies, organizational structures, executives and employees. What more can I say! She is absolutely the best. Elliot, CEO - Redmond, WA
"Shandel has been a catalyst for many hard but positive changes and has inspired me to be the best when I wasn't sure I could be. Through my coaching time with Shandel I realized areas in my life where I wasn't living in integrity, and areas that were full of inconsistency. I have learned to aspire, not to settle." – Sonya, dental hygienist, Seattle
"Thanks for what you have been doing. I have heard great responses from the Portland office from your time there! What a blessing to have you." – Wendy - Arlington, VA
"I initially pursued Shandel because I thought I was ready for a job change, but not sure which direction to take. Shandel helped me to realize that I was looking for my job to fulfill things in my life that no job really would. Since I started talking more openly with family and friends and sharing more of my life with them, I now have stronger and more meaningful relationships. Making decisions about how I spend my time at work and in my personal life has never been easier or more fulfilling." – Lisa, Attorney at Law
"I was a stressed, overwhelmed, disorganized, anxious and confused "rookie" business owner! Shandel gave me the LIGHT BULB MOMENT that will never burn out! With her support and coaching, I now have effective systems in place and communication skills that allow me to enjoy my business and experience balance in my life. Shandel is a tremendous true life coach!" – Susan, Marketing
"Shandel's ability to cut through the excuses, clarify the issues, and get to the heart of a matter in a way that is never disrespectful or condemning is what makes her such a wonderful coach. Shandel sees the issues, yet through her coaching she allows the revelations to come from the individual she is working with. I now have the ability to pursue my passions and face challenges head on without retreating in fear or self-doubt." – Carmen, Attorney at Law
"… Before my time with Shandel, I minimized my accomplishments and was very hard on myself. I did not give myself any margin of error and my quest for perfection beat me into the ground. With Shandel's coaching, I was able to stop that cycle of destruction and enter into a much more healthy cycle of celebrating my wins and objectively analyzing my losses. I discovered what truly motivates me and how I deal with conflict and situations I disagree with. Shandel has an ability to get right to the heart of the matter and to help me see what the heart of a matter is……Shandel has helped me bring consistency, sustainability and contentment to my life." – Alex, Financial Planner
"When I took the DISC and saw that my design was on purpose and could be measured, in an instant, I went from despising, to celebrating myself. Having a coach has given me a freedom and confidence in relationships that had eluded me my whole life. Now, I enjoy myself and others tremendously. I didn't know life could be so much fun!" With deep gratitude, Laurel – Actress
"Instead of pursuing my passions, I was living life filled with fear, reservation, and self-doubt……. During our coaching, Shandel and I focused extensively on the complete and total lack of boundaries that existed in many of my relationships. Shandel held me accountable and taught me the tools necessary to establish healthy, boundary-firm relationships in my life. I am now able to set boundaries… in a healthy, respectful, and anger free manner." - Carrie, Event Planner, Seattle, WA
"When I was going through the decision process to make a major career change in my life, the details seemed overwhelming and made the decision process a very difficult one. It was great to have Shandel available to help me keep the big picture clear and help see how those details were working together under God's hand to allow for the changes to happen in my life." - Scott, Restaurant owner
"Shandel's passion, energy, and faith are inspiring. She is there for support and advice at any moment and always with a smile… her one on one attention has assisted in my personal and professional growth, more than could be measured. The way that she delights in this growth of others is just one more testament to her character. She is an amazing woman, coach, and confidant!" – Ramona, Speech Pathologist, Seattle, WA
"Finding a coach was the best thing that ever happened to me. Within 4 weeks, I had secured a new job. After 4 months, I had started my own part-time business, which is helping me fill many of the voids my life had. I no longer feel like I'm stuck in a hole and don't know the way out. Shandel keeps me focused on overcoming my obstacles one-by-one, instead of letting me get overwhelmed by the enormity of a situation." – Jami, Virginia
Shandel, thank you so much for partnering with me on this journey. I want you to know how valuable your insight and encouragement and friendship (if that's appropriate) has been to me. If there ever was a person affected by "analysis paralysis", it would be me. With your help I'm slowing moving to the "action" phase. Thank you. J.L. Dallas, TX
"Shandel Slaten has helped me identify truths that have been nagging at me for years. Through our work together, she's helped me find ways to be happier, more productive, and more satisfied with my business and personal life. I could have spend thousands of dollars in therapy when all I needed was Shandel to "tell it like it is" so I could get on with my life." – Nancy, Bellevue, WA
"Working with Shandel has made all the difference between hating my business and being tired every day to the point where I am now, where running my business is a joy and effortless. She helped me focus on what I wanted to achieve rather than all the things that needed to be done. What is most important, she helped me do this while helping me honor my commitment to running my business based on my values, not on what people expect." – Nancy, CEO
"The light went on for me when Shandel helped me discover that it was OK for me to step fully into my own shoes and simply be myself…" – Bob, CEO – Kirkland, WA "Thank you very much for putting together such a great workshop this week. Your energy and desire to help us understand ourselves was incredible and obviously worked. I've taken other personality tests before but never felt such an understanding of how they are played out in the real world." -Rory, VP of Sales, Sacramento, CA

Finding Chromebook Zen
I recently purchased a Acer C720 Chromebook and immediately began upon a quest for Chrome OS enlightenment.
Learning to use a (stock) Chromebook is a relatively simple task. However, those who enjoy "exploring the possibilities" often feel an uncontrollable urge to run a full-blown version of Linux on their Chromebook.
This blog is an attempt to catalog some of the helpful "how to" reference articles found on the 'Net that cover subjects such as running Linux on a Chromebooks.
I hope this blog will be a useful source of information, something "which someone can easily grab on the fly and look something up" (to borrow a quote from: Zen and the Art of the Internet ).

It seem like such a short time ago when I was trying to teach my son Christopher to speak, and now I can not get him to be quiet. They say time flies when you're having fun, but it takes some real effort to take it all in and enjoy every moment. Here you are, just completed your first year of elementary school and with flying colors and smiles.
I am so proud of you Christopher in all that you have achieved. You are very intelligent and there is never a dull moment when you are around. You are always eager to learn and always keep me active playing sports together, doing things we both enjoy. I am very proud when you call me dad and that you still say I am your best buddy in the world, because you are mine.
What tops it all off is your amazing personality. It is setting a great example for your proud, silly sister who is certain to follow in your footsteps. She sure enjoys being around you.
Love you Buddy!

Ibbetson: Through Greed and Communism the Dream is Lost
Opportunities to do good are lost every day. Either through apathy, stupidity, or unfortunately sometimes, bad intentions, situations where good can be done are not only lost, but are replaced with something that is detrimental to society. The Martin Luther King, Jr., Monument in Washington's National Mall is just such an example. The series of events that brought "this version" of the depiction of the famous civil rights activist to "this location" shows the world just how out of line the culture of our country has now become.
First, the King monument is placed in the National Mall, a location specifically designated for U.S. Presidents and fallen soldiers. There is a strong argument to be made that the sculpture of the civil rights icon would be better placed in a different location. However, this argument pales in comparison to the residual implications derived from who actually created the monument and how King is portrayed in stone.
As reported by John Hayward in Human Events, in oddly bizarre fashion, the King monument was not commissioned for creation by Americans, but was rather given to the fifty-seven year old Chinese Communist, Lei Yixin. Yixin is known among other things for his stone depictions of the Communist Chairman Mao Tse-tung. He thus created a depiction of King that some would say runs counter to a true reflection of the man and what he stood for. Martin Luther King Jr. looks decidedly Asian. The civil rights leader, who was known for both kindness and compassion, is reflected in stone by Yixin having a stern look on his face and with arms folded as if he is in opposition to those who view him. In the stone statue King also grips an unknown document with force, and one can only guess if the artist meant the document to be one with biblical scripture, the constitution, or one of Mao's many versions of the "Little Red Book."
Some have asserted that the carving of this statue should have been commissioned to a black artisan; however, I think that King would have preferred to look at quality of character, and artistic ability, over color of skin. With that observation in mind, it is still hard to fathom that King would have wished that his memorial depiction to be created to exhibit a Communist mentality, certainly void of the Christian values he championed. The "angry Asian, the Communist Martin Luther King, Jr." monument also includes inscriptions of many of King's famous quotes, but minus his famous "I have a dream," apparently, purposely omitted. This lack is almost fitting as little of King's true Christian nature is on display.
The final note, in what has become a sad story, is that it appears that the King monument was never intended to be designed for posterity, but rather for family profit. As reported in the New York Post, the Martin Luther King, Jr., family charged to the foundation that built the monument $800,000 to use King's words and image. This King family money scheme further removes the appropriateness of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial being placed alongside distinguished U.S. Presidents and fallen soldiers whose families never asked, nor received any residuals for the honor of being memorialized. Sadly, there are now no redeemable qualities to retrieve from exhibiting a King memorial in Washington, as both Communism and family greed have instead simply created an anathema of a monument now placed in the National Mall.
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life deserves a more honorable and precise legacy than what is depicted in the new Washington memorial. It is said that the reported inspiration for the piece came from King's "I have a dream" speech in which the civil rights leader stated, "Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope." Instead of a noble transformation, people in the National Mall will now view a Marxian mountain that is too arrogant and more fitting to a Communist bloc than to the powerful role Martin Luther King Jr. played in a movement for equality gained through passive resistance and the power of prayer. Opportunities to do good are lost every day, but some are more painful to watch than others.

This morning, Nicholas Kristof joins the chorus of Democrats warning against the disaster that awaits if their party nominates Howard Dean. Most of what he says is sensible, but his chief point appears to be that Dean is too smart:
"Mr. Dean is smart, but he knows it. America's heartland oozes suspicion of Eastern elitists, and Mr. Dean's cockiness would exacerbate that suspicion….Mr. Dean's recent remarks about Southern men and Confederate flags showed both his awareness of this problem and his ineptitude in addressing it. He also described the episode as a 'huge contretemps,' and I seriously doubt that anybody who publicly uses the word 'contretemps' can ever be elected president.
"You get the feeling that if Mr. Dean and Mr. Bush were stuck together in a small Missouri town, Mr. Dean would lecture farmers about Thomas Paine's writings, while Mr. Bush would have the cafe crowd in stitches by doing impersonations of Mr. Dean."
A very funny image. But Kristof's idea that Americans don't like smart politicians is silly. Several of our early presidents had abilities approaching genius. Abraham Lincoln, in my opinion, was one of the most brilliant men ever to engage in public life. Ulysses Grant was one of the greatest military thinkers ever, and one of the best prose stylists of the 19th century. Woodrow Wilson, while a poor president, was a very smart man by all accounts. Herbert Hoover was a brilliant engineer. Dwight Eisenhower organized the Normandy invasion, the largest undertaking in human history. Ronald Reagan was smart enough to understand both the evil and the weakness of Communism decades before the average college professor.
But, while being smart is a good quality in a leader, it is not the only indispensable quality, and it is rarely decisive in distinguishing among presidential candidates. (In my opinion, the only serious presidential candidate of recent times who was literally too dumb for the job was Al Gore.) The president's job is not to lecture; it is to lead. There are several requirements for leadership in a democracy; one of them is that the leader not have contempt for the people he seeks to govern.
Dean's problem is not that he is too smart; his problem is that he projects a bitter contempt for those who don't agree with him, and only slightly less contempt for those who do.

Army Unit's Deployment Accelerated
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 2007 - The 3rd Infantry Division Headquarters, based in Fort Stewart, Ga., will deploy to Iraq sooner than originally scheduled, DoD officials announced today.
The unit was scheduled to begin its deployment in June, but will now begin its deployment in March. The headquarters was identified for deployment on Nov. 17.
The headquarters will provide command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities in support of Baghdad security operations, Army Lt. Col. Mark Ballesteros, a DoD spokesman, said.
This three-month acceleration affects about 1,000 servicemembers.
"Force levels in Iraq continue to be conditions-based and are determined upon the recommendations of military commanders in Iraq and in consultation with the Iraqi government," Ballesteros said.
In January 2005, the 3rd Infantry Division became the first Army division to serve a second tour in Iraq. The division headquarters took control of Multinational Division Baghdad, with headquarters at Camp Liberty and with responsibility for the greater Baghdad area. The division redeployed to Fort Stewart and Fort Benning in January 2006.

Shadows in the Water by Kory M. Shrum
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
When I found out that Kory M. Shrum was working on a new crime thriller book, I was super excited! Then when I was able to get an ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) of the book to proofread, I freaked out even more!
Shadows in the Water is about a woman named Louie Thorne who is seeking revenge for the death of her parents. But this is not your typical revenge story, as Louie has a special gift. A gift that allows her to dish out punishment to members of a Mafia family involved in her parent's deaths. As she uses this gift to exact her revenge, she learns that this gift does not come without costs and dangers.
The first chapter of this book was so intense and gripping, that to this day I get a little creeped out when I give my children baths! The characters are everything I look for in a good story: Complex, quirky, layered, and most of all… flawed. With the gift that Louie possesses it would be easy for her to become a complete "Mary Sue", but she is far from that. Not that she isn't a complete Bad-Ass, because she totally is!
With each new book that Shrum writes it just gets better and better, and it started off pretty darn great! This latest book was so good that I purchased it for my Kindle despite already having the ARC copy so that I could lend it out to my family and get them hooked as well.
I highly recommend reading this book – Just not in the bath!

As the honored owner of any freshly established organization venture will certainly fast to educate you, trying to secure economic help from financial institutions and also various other business loan providers can be absolutely nothing short of a difficult task as they find that they are not able to convince the lenders that they are a wide selection of investment. This is a dilemma that has actually ended up being much more obvious with the global credit scores crisis therefore financial institutions are currently more skittish as well as careful than ever before about the lending of cash.
Venture capitalists are economic providers that focus on the stipulation of start-up funding and also functioning funding to new organizations; nevertheless, the only trouble here is that the venture capitalist firms have the tendency to charge an astronomically high fee for their solutions.

Such concerns are not the single residential or commercial property of the newly established service, as well as well established businesses such as freight and also trucking business could locate them having a hard time to stay up to date with their own current obligations through the tardy nature of their consumers. Think of the following circumstance. A trucking company seeks to provide some high value stock such as whiskey or laptops some 500 miles. Despite a complete tank of gasoline, the truck vehicle driver responsible for the distribution is most likely to need to refuel. The chauffeur is not most likely to have the ability to use the fuel pump and after that continue to inform the staff.
It is for that specific factor then that truck factoring is a superb resource of financial assistance for a trucking company as it helps to nicely evade most of the teething and logistical problems so frequently associated with conventional sources of financing.

Were stocking up for calving time
'though we wont start for a week or two,
We turned the bulls out six weeks later
Than what we used to do.
No more frozen ears and tails,
When its thirty-five below,
Or searching all night for a newborn calf,
In a whiteout of drifting snow.
Holding calving off till springtime,
Has sure worked out for the best.
Now while Im in Kamloops spinning rhymes,
Little brother can get some rest!
Mike Puhallo
PS, When we first started holding the Kamloops Cowboy Festival 2nd weekend in March, a lot of ranchers complained, they couldnt come because they were calving. Now it seems a whole bunch of them have just started calving later!

May, J. (2004) An information processing view of fringe consciousness. Psyche, 10 (1). pp. 1-9. ISSN 1039-723X
Commentary on: Mangan, B. (2001) Sensation's ghost: the non-sensory "fringe" of consciousness. Psyche, 7(18), October 2001 http://psyche.cs.monash.edu.au/v7/psyche-7-18-mangan.html
In posing the sense of 'Rightness' as a quality-of-processing measure, Mangan runs the risk of a homuncular argument, since some process needs to observe Rightness, as well as the sensory qualia. Interacting Cognitive Subsystems (ICS) is an information processing account of cognitive activity that is concordant with Mangan's arguments, but which avoids the need for any supervisory system or central executive. The approach models thought as the flow of information between nine different levels of mental representation, and includes a distinction between an unselective diffuse awareness of all active levels of representation, and a selective focal awareness of a single topic of processing. A distinction is introduced between two non-sensory representations: propositional and implicational meaning. While the propositional representations can be easily verbalised, the sensory and implicational representations can only be verbalised via propositional representations. All representations are accessible, although implications and sensory representations are harder to express verbally. As a principled model, ICS can be mapped into anatomical and neural models, supporting argumentation about physical pathways in the brain and functional pathways in the mind.
