My husband and I went on a date the Friday before Mother's Day! This was our first one since our youngest was born in March and it was WONDERFUL to be out with him and the baby. We had a lovely dinner, then went to the mall to get a Booster Juice and tea latte for the drive home. I chose Blueberry Jam, which tastes exactly like the name. I always love David's Tea for their lattes.
During the drive I was on Pinterest, and came across a Starbucks cup mini album that I thought was just adorable, so I saved my David's Tea cup and rinsed it out really, really well. Then a few days later I started working on my mini album. I don't have pictures of me taking the cup apart, mainly because I didn't think of it at the time, but the link is here if you want to see the steps for make one. (From The Yellow Buttercup Blog).

Have you ever tried many products but you just feel that your skin isn't hydrated enough still?
Well, fear not!
Neutrogena is here to save people like us with their new Hydro Boost range of skincare products!
DO YOU KNOW that dehydration is actually one of the main causes of premature aging?!
It's really scary imaging you being say 21 years old like me and having a face with super horrible skin that looks like a 31 years old?!
I believe no one wants that~ Everyone wanna have good, young, soft and well hydrated skin isn't it?!
So with Neutrogena's new Hydro Boost range, you are just 5 simple steps daily aways from QQ hydrated, soft skin!
Step 1: Cleasing with Hydro Boost Mousse Cleanser!
This foaming cleanser gently cleanses, smoothes and softens your skin while adding moisture to your skin, preventing your skin from drying!
Just pump around 2-3 pumps
As you can see, the foam is very fine!
*Ahem* Learnt from 女人我最大 the more fine the foam is, the better it can cleanse your skin!
And just massage over your face before rinsing!
After washing, my face not not feel tight but really relax and soft!
Step 2: Toning with Hydro Boost Clear Lotion!
This toner rebuilds your skin's natural water shield as it tones & hydrates with a really refreshing feeling!
Just pour out some onto a piece of cotton pad
And smooth over your face with gentle upwards strokes!
Step 3: Moisturised your skin with Hydro Boost Essense!
This moisturising essense is an intensive treatnent that restores 3 TIMES your skin's moisture level within ONE HOUR!!! Can you imagine that?!
It also keeps your skin fully hydrated with a healthy glow all day long!!!
Don't be silly thinking that you don't need to moisturise your skin cause you have oily skin! Oily skin does not equals to moisturised skin! You should actually make sure that your skin is well hydrated even more.
*I remember learning this in Secondary School*
I use 3 pumps each time
And massage evenly over face & neck every morning and night after clear lotion!
NOTE! Don't leave out your neck!!! You do not want pretty pretty young skinned face with old grandmother neck!
Step 4: Double up moisture with Hydro Boost Water Gel!
Simply by listening to the name of this product you can imagine how much water is gonna be feed to your precious skin!
This water gel restored your skin's moisture level by more than 200%, providing not only immediate replenishment but also hydration that last up to 12 hours! That's half a day gone!!!
It also helps your achieve soft, supple skin with a healthy glow, too!
You should totally LOOK and FEEL it for yourself!
Use about a 20cent coin amount and massage it evenly onto your face & neck every morning and night!
You can actually choose to apply this after clear lotion or essence. But to save my poor dry skin, I apply it after essence for double moisture!
Lastly, pamper your skin with Hydro Boost Mask!
Ok. This isn't the last step alright. For me when I apply on my mask, I apply it afer cleansing. Some people choose to apply after toner.
Anyway... This mask is clinically proven to boost your skin moisture level 14 times and prevent moisture loss!
Just put on the mask and relax for 15 mins!
Really love this mask as it really stays on so well that I could actually do my normal stuff like using the PC, blogging, watching dorama and etc! It must be its new SMART-FIT fabric that actually holds 25% more hydrating essence!
How cool
Yes yes yes I know that you will say that I'm blogging all these cos they sponsored.

Why some people get so much more done than others. Reducing box 2 (hassle) in order to free up time for box 3 (planning). This will reduce the time spent in the crisis box - box 1. What are your percentages? How much time do you get to think? How much time do you spend in the crisis box and what can be done to reduce this?
- So we've seen that if you think about…the importance and the urgency…of the things you want to do,…all your results come from the time…spent in box three of Eisenhower's template,…and you can find a copy of this in the exercise files.…Therefore, the objective of time management…is to spend as much time as possible in box three,…but how can we do this?…Having ruled out working longer hours on a regular basis,…the only way to increase box three…is to reduce the time spent in the other three boxes,…mainly box two.…
We have to focus on box two, the urgent stuff,…because you can't reduce box one.…Sorry I can't help you with that crisis I'm afraid…because I'm planning today.…You have to deal with box one when it comes up,…and there's probably not much to be saved…out of box four.…It's quite small for most people anyway these days,…so box two is the one to reduce.…Have a look at these figures.…Suppose you're spending 20% of your day in box one,…which is a bit much, but not terrible.…
60% of your day is in box two,…which is a lot but normal.…
The first—saying no—is simple in theory, but hard in practice. Chris explains how to reclaim the power of "no" to make room for true priority items. The second step, negotiation, allows you to spend less time on unimportant tasks. The third way is to delegate sometimes, and the fourth is improving systems and processes so that repetitive tasks are quickly and easily managed. Last but not least, Chris explains how to overcome perfectionism and nitpicking. He explains how to apply the five methods to all time-stealers, including meetings, interruptions, and more.
In the initial chapters, he'll help you clarify your life and work goals, prioritize to-dos using Eisenhower's matrix of tasks, and answers questions like "Does working longer hours actually get more done?" The worksheets included with the exercise files will help you apply the lessons to your own work and life, and hone your time management skills—one step at a time.
- Discover why you need to make the most of every day.
- Assess how to separate important from urgent items.
- Define Eisenhower's matrix of tasks.
- Determine how to find more time for important things.
- Discover how to say no.
- Prepare to negotiate tasks.
- Develop your delegation skills to save time.
- Improve your systems.

Misleading hand gel sanitizers… waist of money?
April 10, 2010
New study reports: hand gels are misleading, only killed 60 per cent of germs at best.
• Hands on proper hand hygiene!
Last year, when swine flu hit, sales of some products rocketed by 70 per cent. Yet do hand gels really help? A study carried out in December 2009 by Ottawa University found that some brands that claimed to kill '99 per cent' of germs did not – at the very best they killed 60 per cent, and at worst just 46 per cent.
A dailymail report describes:
"The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency says it has had to investigate numerous hand-cleaning products for making claims that they can kill specific viruses such as swine flu or MRSA. They are not allowed to make these claims, because it gives the impression they have some medical effect. Gels can only really help kill everyday germs, such as those that cause the common cold. Yet few people realise that the hands have to be clean in order for many hand gels to work.
'Like many cleaning agents, most hand gels will be less effective in the presence of protein matter, such as food, mud, faecal matter or blood,' says Dr Ron Cutler, a microbiologist from Queen Mary, University of London. 'You really need to wash off all visible signs of dirt before they will be totally effective.' Many hand gels contain alcohol, which kills germs by attacking their outer membrane. For maximum benefit, a hand gel should contain at least 62 per cent alcohol – but no more than 80 per cent. This is because the gel should contain some water, as once the outer membrane of the bacteria or virus has been penetrated it is water that kills it.
But new research suggests that hands gels won't protect against gastroenteritis or viral stomach bugs such as norovirus. Furthermore, a recent study by the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, Belfast, found that even Spirigel, the alcohol-based gel used in NHS hospitals, stops working within seconds of use. A non-alcohol gel offered much longer protection, killing viruses for up to 24 hours after it was applied.
Should we abandon alcohol hand gels? Non-alcohol gels work in a variety of ways. Byotrol, the gel used in this study, contains mainly water, but the gel forms an invisible layer that stays on the hands and literally pulls bacteria and viruses apart. Some others, such as No Germs, use chemical antibacterial agents or even essential oils. 'When alcohol hand gels were first introduced years ago, it was so much better than anything else,' says microbiologist Stephen Falder, who helped develop Byotrol. 'But if you were going to start designing a hand gel now from scratch, you would abandon alcohol.'
He adds: 'Alcohol stops working almost as soon as it's dry, and does not give you residual protection.' other experts disagree and say that while the effects of non-alcohol hand gels may last longer, alcohol is better at killing germs.
Professor John oxford, a virus expert from St Barts and Royal london Hospital, says he would always prefer an alcohol-based gel. 'Yes, it might not work against things like norovirus, but norovirus is a very difficult bug to get rid of and nonalcohol gels won't work against it either – little will. 'The alcohol ones do work and certainly work against things like swine flu.'
Mr Cutler backs him up. 'If my hands were dirty, I would wash them first with soap and water, using lots of agitation. 'This cleans off all visible dirt. I would then apply an alcohol hand gel to get rid of any residual bacteria. 'There are non-alcohol based products, some for example contain citrus oils, but I am not sure how strong an alternative these are. Washing your hands is the best option. 'This should definitely be done after you go to the loo, after changing a nappy, after you sneeze, before you eat, before preparing food and after handling raw foods such as meat.'"
"The gold standard of hand washing is using hot running water and soap."
"'You need to wash both the palms and the finger tips and around rings of the fingers, as bacteria can lodge there,' says Dr Anthony Hilton, a reader in microbiology from Aston University. 'Then you should dry with a paper towel or hand drier. However if this is not available, then alcohol-based hand gels can be a very good substitute.'"
So, the essential is: do not consider hand gel sanitizers as a 'safe' alternative for hand washing!!!

50 Books in 1 Year
However, in order to finish on time I would have only one week to finish each book, with no weeks off. :|
YIKES! I am an extremely slow reader. So, instead I'm going set my goal at, hopefully, the safe number of 15. I love reading and am already reading the first 3 books. Books 4 through 9 are repeaters, but I have been meaning to read them again so I put them on the list. I'm hoping this will be motivation to make me read more!
any suggestions to get me to 15?

Using MuseScore 2.0 with VST instruments
In previous post I wrote a list of features I've implemented in MuseScore this summer. Now I made a demo of using MuseScore with VST instruments via JACK:
Yngwie Malmsteen - Far Beyond The Sun
Connections & Tracks
Connections in patchbay (clickable):
- Lead Guitar
I used Suburban Guitarist for synthesizing clean guitar sound and then added a bit of distortion with Guitar Rig 5. Used preset: Solo Maker.
- Rhythm Guitar
DSK Guitars Acoustic produced nice sound for the rhythm. Guitar Rig 5 with "Boosted Solo Metal" preset made dirty sound from that.
- Bass Guitar
I used simple DSK BassZ plugin.
- Church Organ
I've pre-recorded an organ staff using Church Organ 2nd VST(i) to demonstrate you using JACK Transport. I loaded this track into Ardour 3, and as you can see it started playing with MuseScore at the same time.
- Drums
Superior drummer is a well-known plugin for the musicians. I used Rock Solid preset.
VSTs are runned by FeSTige, final mixing is done with jack_mixer.
I recorded this video with SimpleScreenRecorder and edited with Kdenlive.
Used VST(i)
Do you like it?

How Vikings tickets will work at the Gophers' TCF Bank stadium
The Vikings are out explaining what's going on with their tickets. They had a Q&A out in Winter Park today, and here's what they had to say:
Q: What's the status of the tickets at TCF Bank Stadium?
A: All 52,000 seats have been offered to season ticket holders, who are weighing whether they want to re-up with the team at an outdoor venue. Once those offers have been accepted or turned down, tickets will be reallocated and the team should know if they have any single-game tickets available this summer.
Q: Do you have to buy Vikings tickets at TCF Bank Stadium to stay on the list to buy tickets for the 2016 season in the new stadium?
A: No. The team will be working off the 2013 season ticket list for the new stadium, although they say ticket holders that stick with the team at TCF will get priority among those 2013 ticket holders. "We fully understand there's a element of people that don't want to go outside," says team spokesman Jeff Anderson.
Q: What's with the prices? Why are some going up so much?
A: Vikings marketing vice president Steve LaCroix says there are 12,000 fewer seats in the transition. He said the Vikings aren't trying to make up all the revenue on the lost seats. "Most of those (seats) are going to be the upper level endzone in the dome, so everybody gets squeezed to the middle." Or, in other words, it's the cheap seats that got left behind. "It's really how the math works. You take out 12,000 seats, it wasn't 12,000 premium sideline seats. It was more the endzone and corners," LaCroix says. "There's a couple hundred accounts that are borderline, as far as taking a big jump, so on an account by account basis, we'll talk to them and find out if we can find a better solution for them."
Q: What about premium seating?
A: There are about 60 full season suites at the Metrodome, and about 38 at TCF Bank Stadium. The Vikings say there are only about a half-dozen suite holders in common. That said, the Gophers suite holders have a right of first refusal for the suites at TCF Bank Stadium, through Feb. 1. After that, the Vikings will know what kind of suite inventory they have available. The team is also considering a "seat back" rental program like the Gophers have. For a fee, fans can have a seat back fixed to their spot in the bench seating. LaCroix says that if you're lucky enough to share a seat with a Gopher fan that likes a seat back, you may get to share.
Q: When can fans find out about tickets at the new stadium?
A: The Vikings are planning to set up a sales center in the old Strutwear Building, known now as 1010 Metrodome. That is expected to open in mid-February, and fans will be able to figure out what will be available, in terms of tickets and personal seat licenses, at that time.

Benefits with OT-Products
- Increase availability
- Increase quality
- Minimize environmental impact
- Save money
Purification of oil
Industrial process oils, such as lubricants or rolling-mill oil, become contaminated while being used. The pollutants include soot, metal particles and water and their sizes are often in the micron and sub-micron particle range. One problem is that these pollutants have a density that closely matches the density of the oil and this similarity of densities means it is difficult to separate the contaminants using gravimetric or centrifugal separation techniques.
Lucent Oil AB develops and manufactures process solutions and surface active products for the continuous cleaning and re-circulation of process oils used in manufacturing industries.
Oil Tretment products
Lucent's OT ( Oil Treatment ) – range of products are especially developed for the purification of oils. The products can be used in conventional filter systems to boost performance or in specially developed systems called the UCO-System, Ultra Clean Oil.
The products in our OT series are chemical compositions of surface-active molecules that are not themselves soluble in the oils. When combined with the process oils, these chemicals build a cloud of sub-micron droplets with a very high affinity for the pollutants – an affinity that successfully traps and isolates the pollutants within the function chemicals. The sub-micron droplets coalesce with each other, forming larger and larger droplets – droplets that have a higher density than the surrounding oil and therefore separate into a liquid heavy phase. The coalescence of the droplets and the separation into the heavy phase is dramatically speeded up by increasing the gravitational forces, for example with a centrifugal separator.
The particular characteristics of industrial process oils are to a large extent controlled by their viscosity and the presence of additives, the so called additive package. This additive package is adapted to the characteristics of the oil in order to produce the optimum process.
When selecting a suitable OT-product, it is of utmost importance for the additive package to remain intact while it is in the process oil and that there is no residue of the OT product in the cleaned oil. Selecting the appropriate OT product is done after laboratory testing where the oil's composition (its fingerprint) is studied – with and without the separation additives.
The OT-Products are environmentally safe and there are products available which are adapted to meet FDA requirements.
Precoat Booster
In precoat systems using Diatomaceous earth (Celite®) the addition of Lucent's OT-products has lead to an increased availability of the filter system, cleaner oil and up to 50 % reduction of precoat media. This is made possible since the addition of the OT product makes the differential pressure increase slower and at the same time boosts the cleaning effect of the precoat media.

- Cutting oils
- Hydraulic oils
- Lube oils

Keep tuition fees affordable to ensure access to education
Originally published in the Brandon Sun
Kerry Auriat's March 25 column "Allowing Tuition Hikes Strikes Right Balance" improperly frames post-secondary education as an individual responsibility in order to justify increasing costs for students.
Auriat himself was able to benefit from both the benefits of strong public investments in post-secondary education, and the fact that upon graduation, he entered a job market where one could reasonably expect to get a full-time, well-paying job. It is unfortunate that he supports a political decision to increase the distance between his experiences in education and experiences of students like myself.Read more
Students Are Innovators
Originally published as an Op-Ed in the Ottawa Citizen
Finance Minister Bill Morneau lauded the 2017 federal budget as the budget that will "help Canadians get the skills they need to drive our economy forward." What the budget fails to address is the significant price tag on learning and skills training in this country: tuition fees.

Fight The Fee Increase at Carleton U!
On Thursday February 2, Carleton University's Board of Governors is voting to increase students' tuition fees. Carleton U is attempting to jam through two years of tuition fee increases at this meeting in an attempt to cut out student voices by eliminating the opportunity for students to mobilize against fee increases next year.
Senior administration is recommending that the Board of Governors pass a number of tuition fee increases, ranging from 6% for domestic students in non-professional programs to 16% for international students studying professional programs, over two years. Considering average tuition fees for these students are already $8,114 per year and $29,761 per year respectively, these fee increases amount to an additional several hundred dollars (several thousand for international students!). Carleton is planning to continue making money on the backs of international students by upholding xenophobic differential fees that charge international students 3.7 times more for the same education as domestic students.

We Won't Stop Until We Win
On Wednesday, November 2, 2016, thousands of students fighting for free education in Canada took action on 58 campuses in 36 cities across every province.
We have never been so bold in our demand for free education now. November 2 marked a point from which the Canadian Federation of Students will not turn back. Exorbitant tuition fees and record levels of student debt have created a crisis that demands fundamental change. The only solution is the outright elimination of tuition fees in favour of a universal system of public post-secondary education.Read more
Let's Go Fossil Free AND Tuition Free
Kiki Wood is the National Director of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition and co-coordinator of Fossil Free Canada.
When I entered University in 2007, I thought a post-secondary education was all about the courses you took and the GPA you graduated with. What I didn't know, was that the education that would get me pretty much every job I've had since graduating came from the education of the student movement more than the classroom. Today, Universities and colleges are once again becoming sites of grassroots organizing. Students today are one of the biggest forces of power for justice, but they shoulder an incredible financial burden.Read more
Examine Free Post-Secondary Education

The tuition debate back is back in Manitoba with a very different focus than in previous years. Recent comments made by the premier and education minister suggest that after more than a decade of a tuition freeze followed by legislation limiting increases in undergraduate fees to the rate of inflation, higher tuition fee increases are under consideration.Read more

Software developer and industry consultant Ken Schwaber is one of the creators of Scrum software development techniques, and a widely recognized leader in agile development practices, the increasingly popular approach that makes it possible for teams to be more flexible and responsive to the changing needs of a project.
Schwaber is delivering the keynote address at the ALM Forum in Seattle in early April, talking about the "State of Agile" and new efforts to quantify the effectiveness of these software development techniques. GeekWire is a media partner of the ALM Forum, and we were able to connect with Schwaber via Skype last week, in advance of his ALM talk.
Continue reading for edited excerpts from our conversation.
What's your elevator pitch for Scrum and agile software development techniques?
I help people build software in 30 days or less. Tell us the most important stuff you have, and we'll give you as much of that as we can at the end of 30 days.
When you were initially coming up with these concepts, did you ever envision that the methods would become as pervasive as they have?
Hadn't the vaguest. Jeff (Sutherland) and I did this to save our companies. We were both on pretty shaky object technology, and we were both building products where there were a huge number of changes that were needed, and so we needed a way where we could rapidly put out increments of the products, and respond to shifting priorities, and shaky technology. So we came up with it for our own survival, and then we experimented with it in a number of companies that we were in. I would have never guessed. But I view Waterfall as the worst thing that ever happened to our profession, ever. So I'm delighted that it happened.
Why was Waterfall the worst thing that ever happened to the profession?
It sets everyone up for failure. It starts with the expectation that you can take complex technology, people, and all sorts of different attitudes and skills and all that, and changing requirements and desires, and you can predict exactly what they'll be a far point in advance, and you put someone in charge of it that tries to maintain and stick to that plan. And yet the wisest thing to do is to change and take advantage of things that you find as you move forward. Waterfall says, don't. It just puts common sense in conflict with authority. Which is not a good thing.
Are Agile and Scrum techniques equally applicable to other areas of business, and life?
David Starr runs his family using daily Scrums and weekly planning meetings (PDF). A sales operation is run by Scrum. They lay out the yearly goal, and then every month they lay out what they're going to try to do, they look and see what they were able to accomplish, they adjust the business accordingly, then they move forward. The only thing that wasn't done with an emperical, iterative or incremental approach was software! Which is the most complex of them all. It's so weird.
What's the biggest mistake that a company makes, or a software development team makes, in trying to implement these principles?
We're trained in our organizations to believe that there's someone in charge, who has people working for him, and he can tell people to do things and it will happen. They say, "We're going to go with Scrum, and you have a year, and I expect this, and I expect that." They think that people's creativity can be mandated. So the hardest thing is to get the manager to see that his or her job is to see, what is the best the team can do, and help them do it, rather than get them to do what the manager thinks they should do. Anyone who's been a parent knows exactly this problem with their kids.
Microsoft's Developer Division moved into an open and flexible workspace to embrace these techniques, and as I was walking around their building I noticed a lot of headphones and earbuds. How do you balance the need to collaborate with the need to concentrate?
People think opening up space and letting the noise vibrate is collaboration. No, it's letting noise vibrate. Having people so you can see them, and go over and start writing on a board, or you can get the people you need right there, that is collaboration. There's often a mistake that this ominous noise is collaboration. Visual cues and access are the keys.

There are several items out now about the appeals court decision in favor of Windermere Baptist Conference Center. Windermere has a statement out. Here is what Windermere's President/CEO Dan Bench said:
We are pleased, after a thorough analysis of the merits of the case, the appeals court has affirmed the circuit court's decision in favor of Windermere. ... The appeals decision-like the previous circuit court decision-is well-documented and clearly states the facts and the law are on Windermere's side. Four judges have now examined the merits of the case and all four have reached the conclusion Windermere and its board acted lawfully as we sought to best fulfill Windermere's important mission."Ethics Daily has a piece on the decision. Word&Way has an article, a version of which was posted by the Associated Baptist Press. The Springfield News-Leader also has an article.
We hope Missouri Baptists will now be able to put this sad conflict behind us. ... We pray no additional money, energy, or time will be wasted by further litigation efforts. Windermere recently celebrated its 50th anniversary and just completed its best year ever. Lives are being forever changed because of the life-changing ministry of Windermere and we welcome all Missouri Baptists to join with us.

How Do We Have Personal Strength and Power in today's world?
Power is the ability to achieve Purpose
Power is the ability to affect Change.
- Dr. Martin Luther King
"I think its also important to remember that Dr. King wasn't just a theologian, poet and organizer. That speech ended with these words:" Quoted on Instagram by Brene Brown,
"Freedom is not some lavish dish that the power structure and the white forces imparted with making decisions will vountarily hand down on a silver platter while the Negro furnishes the appetite. If we are going to have equality, if we are going to have adequate wages, we are going to have to struggle for it." Dr. Martin Luther King
Brene Brown who wrote about shame and perfectionism went on to say that "To me, social justice is about naming and dismantling the structures that deny power to some while privileging others, and learning a new way of being where power is shared and infinite, not hoarded."
Coincidentally this week, I have been reading Barach Obama's book
Dreams from My Father, A story of Race and Inheritance
Also I am reading a book by Nancy Iben called
White Trash
The concept of family, social justice, slavery, and the lies that our American historians have told us as well as the whole concept of feelings that have been repressed, and the power that exists in all these complex relationships is a mind boggling concept. Being human is not easy.
Barach Obama talks about having met his Dad who was a Ph.D native from Kenya only once when he was ten years old and living with his grandparents in Hawaii, and how his father was most perfectionistic man, who was married quite a few times. Race and gender issues are dealt with bravely. Throughout the both books, there is this reference to self-esteem and identity. Barach Obama had a white mother whose parents were from the south but ended up living in Hawaii. His father was a native who lived and worked in Kenya.
Later as an adult, Barach Obama met some of his half brothers and sisters that lived in Kenya. Barach OBama had found out that power, as an organizer, was very much related in who you know, who was willing to get out and struggle and continue to try to raise awareness.
When he went to Kenya to visit his brothers, sisters, and hear the stories about his Dad, a number of the family had issues about his dad's inheritance. As I read, I try to make sense of everyone's relationship, and come away from it knowing that family is not easy. Racism is not easy. Sexism is not easy. Getting different religious groups to cooperate for the wellbeing of the community is not easy. Cooperating so to bring in new jobs and new employers is not easy. Not having roots as a black person has a huge impact.
My own family is not easy. I am from the South. My children are unimpressed. I love them. Yet judgments are made, and acted upon.
I will follow up with another essay about social justice. How do we hold the despair, victim, rescuer, perpetrator patterns, all the bad news of the day, and our own fear and all this unease in our relationships? It is a question that I am holding.

Knowing what the most common types of boiler problems are will help you be able to spot the problem quickly – then, you can call a professional for repairs as soon as possible. Here are the most common boiler repair issues, to help you determine why your boiler is not working properly:
- Leaks. If your boiler is leaking water, this could mean a variety of things. One important note: You should never, under any circumstances, attempt to fix your leaking boiler on your own. This is dangerous, and is thus always best left to the pros.
- No Hot Water. If you don't have any hot water, this could mean that your boiler's pressure is malfunctioning, or there may be problem with your thermostat. Other causes may include: failure of motorized valves, broken diaphragms, or low water levels.
- Weird Noises. If you hear strange noises coming from your boiler, this could mean that there is air in your system, or the water pressure is too low. It's best to check with a professional, on this one.
- Faulty Pilot. Did your pilot light go out, or stop working? This could be due to a broken thermocouple, or built-up debris in the pilot light. If you're going to try relighting your pilot yourself, be sure to check that there is nothing wrong with your gas supply, first.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation says hacker group Anonymous is lying about retrieving 12 million UDIDs, or the unique identifiers associated with Apple mobile devices, from an agency laptop.
This morning, the hacker collective released one million UDIDs along with usernames, addresses, phone numbers, and other pieces of personal information. It reportedly did this by exploiting a vulnerability in Oracle's Java, which has been having problems of its own lately, to access a computer allegedly owned by an FBI agent. But the federal agency does not agree.
"The FBI is aware of published reports alleging that an FBI laptop was compromised and private data regarding Apple UDIDs was exposed," the FBI said in a statement. "At this time, there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data."
The agency also tweeted about the incident saying, "Bottom line: TOTALLY FALSE."
It's understandable that the FBI would be up in arms about this one. If Anonymous' story is true, it raises the question as to why an FBI agent would have this many UDIDs on a laptop, and why the data on that laptop wasn't otherwise secured. It also nods at the growing concern over surveillance of U.S. citizens, a hot topic at conferences like Def Con where one former National Security Agency employee said the majority of us are under watch.
One Anonymous bull horn, AnonymousIRC, tweeted, "You know you're doing something right if @FBIPressOffice throws caps at you on twitter to deny an #Anonymous statement," followed by, "What a day. @FBIPressOffice screaming in caps at us while @AdrianChen is wearing a tutu. Really need more of those. #ForTheLulz."
In its press release regarding the hack, Anonymous said it would not answer any press questions unless Gawker writer Adrian Chen wore a tutu and put a shoe on his head for the Gawker home page. As you can see, he took one for the team.

Zinedine Zidane's side, who have been inconsistent in La Liga this season, were already coasting thanks to first-half goals from Luka Modric, a Karim Benzema double and Nacho strike.Spurs' 2-1 win at Borussia Dortmund means they have claimed top spot on 13 points, with a game to spare, ahead of Real on 10 points. APOEL will fight it out with Dortmund for third place and a Europa League spot, with both teams on two points.

Micro-targeting visitors is an incredibly powerful SEO tool. Think about this. You search for a particular keyword, visit a particular website from the results, and don't quite find what you're looking for. If there is an embedded advertisement in the website with the exact keywords you searched for, you are much more likely to click that ad than if it were an ad reflecting the content on that page.
Micro-targeting can be done easily within WordPress. There are a number of free plugins that allow you to specifically target search visitors and users of a particular social media service. Here are just a few ways to micro-target your advertisements using WordPress plugins.
1. Plugin: Ad Injection | Download (free)
Ad Injection is a plugin that inserts adsense, or other advertising code into your WordPress site anywhere. It also works with Amazon Affiliates and Clickbank. You can set ad placements within the plugin or use template tags to insert them anywhere your heart desires. The plugin allows you to randomly insert ads between paragraphs, and limit which posts have ads by post age, length or a number of other parameters.
The most important feature is the ability to restrict ads by referrer. This allows you to require search engine referrals show particular ad sets. For example, I might set the plugin to display adsense ads when Google.com is the referrer.
2. Plugin: WP Greetbox | Download (free)
I have been using WP Greetbox for a long time to display welcome messages or prompt users to follow my blog. It inserts a small content box below the post title. What's great about this plugin is that you can customize it to display different messages based on the referrer. For example, I might say "welcome facebook user, please like our facebook page by clicking here". This gives the illusion of a slightly personalized message which is hard to come by on a website.
For our purposes, you can identify a specific message for those come from Google. The plugin uses the example of having Googlers follow your RSS feed. But with the advent of Google+, you can have users add you to their circles. Targeting for search engine traffic is just one way to micro-target. The sky is the limit.
This is also one of the best looking free plugins I have ever used on my site. It includes the option to close the box, adjust the placement, round the corners and even add a dropshadow.
3. Popup Social Media Follows | Download
If you want to boost your social media presence, this plugin will let you target search engine traffic by popping up right after the page is loaded. Although sometimes annoying, these tools can be an effective method of generating social media traffic. This plugin lets you push Facebook, Google+ and Twitter buttons at users with a stylish overlay. You can allow users the option of closing the window, or make it time-delayed. If your traffic supports this kind of conversion tool, and if your content is good enough to push through it, this could be a really handy plugin.

With this new season change, I've been pulling out all my long-sleeved tee shirts and pants! It's wonderful! Yesterday, I wore my trusty vintage dot pants and an old top of my moms. Plus, my blue beaded necklace (which I wear nearly every day!), my favorite flower combination, sunglasses from Pangaea in Nashville, and my Sam Edelman "Zoe" booties.
I love how this outfit is mostly black with small pops of super bright color and pattern.

During the course of and aftermath of the Turkish invasion of 1974 Turkish forces and their surrogates engaged in systematic looting, pillage, wanton property destruction and seizure of private property. This unprecedented usurpation is a further flagrant violation of human rights.
The illegal regime in the occupied north produced bogus title-deeds in an attempt to create new ownership to unilaterally and illegally expropriate the lands and homes of Greek Cypriots by either giving the land to illegal colonists from Anatolia, Turkish Cypriots or to sell the land to non-Cypriots, including thousands of Britons who illegally bought land cheaply.
As the occupation regime has been deemed an illegal secessionist entity under United Nations Security council resolution 541 and 550 and by the European Court of Human Rights, the occupation regime does not have jurisdiction to perform valid transfers of property ownership.
The ethnically cleansed Greek Cypriots remain the legitimate holders of title-deeds, as affirmed by numerous cases, in particular the landmark European Court of Human Rights Loizidou v Turkey case (1996) which compensated displaced Greek Cypriot owner Titina Loizidou for loss of use – not loss of ownership, as she remains the legitimate owner.
Only those with title-deeds registered at the Land Registry of the Republic of Cyprus are owners of property in Cyprus, including in the occupied areas.
According to official Cyprus government statistics more than 82 percent of property in the occupied area prior to the Turkish invasion of 1974, was either owned by Greek Cypriots (60.6 percent) or by the government of the Republic of Cyprus itself (22.82 percent).

Bayern Munich vs 1 FSV Mainz 05 Betting Tip and Prediction
Are you ready for Bundesliga fever? Bayern Munich vs 1 FSV Mainz 05 coming up in a few hours. Click HERE to find out the winner. Our football tipster Gergely Weeden can help you win.
"There will be a midweek round in Europe, and in Germany will Fc Bayern Munich host the Mainz, who has been given a tremendous performance this year with a balance 4-0-2 in Bundesliga. Since it is known, that Guardiola will leave Munich at the end of the season, the play of Byern is not so convincing than before. There are rumors that the coach has problems with the attitude of some players, but inspite of that they won mostly their matches so far, but this year haven't won a match with more than two goals, earlier we were not used to that. Mainz improved a lot in winter break, now they are already standing on the 5th place, and it looks like they do not want to slow down, on the weekend they won againbst Leverkusen easily. I cannot say, that they surely can get a point in Munich, but I am sure for Bayern it will be a tough game. My prediction is, that Bayern won't win easily."

Another Look at Romans Chapter 9
A conversation I had with someone else:
I see Thee Elect One as being Jesus Christ and so the Elect group are all those Elected In Christ. In this sense I believe in corporate election.
Right. Just wondering, but what makes you think that Christ is being elected as opposed to those in Christ being elected?
Because Christ is the starting point. Let's look at some Old Testament prophesies about Christ being chosen:
Isaiah 42:1
""Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will bring justice to the nations."
For a fuller typological context you can read to verse 7. But this shows that the Messiah is also Chosen or seen as Thee Chosen One. Let's look at another passage in Isaiah:
Isaiah 49:1
"Listen to me, you islands;
hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born the LORD called me;
from my mother's womb he has spoken my name."
To get the fuller typological context read all the way to verse 13. In this we see He is thee Called One. He is also a Nation, the True Nation of Israel, but I don't want to get into that right now. But yes, Jesus is the Elect One! This is seen more clearly in the New Testament.
1st Peter 1:20(read verses 18,19, and 21 too)
"He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake."
1st Peter 2:4(you can read up to verse 6)
"As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him"
Jesus being Thee Elect/Chosen One can also be seen by Clement of Rome, one of the Apostolic Fathers
Clement of Rome
"May God, who seeth all things, and who is the Ruler of all spirits and the Lord of all flesh—who chose our Lord Jesus Christ and us through Him to be a peculia people—grant to every soul that calleth upon His glorious and holy Name, faith, fear, peace, patience, long-suffering, self-control, purity, and sobriety, to the well-pleasing of His Name, through our High Priest and Protector, Jesus Christ, by whom be to Him glory, and majesty, and power, and honour, both now and for evermore. Amen."
You are(I assume) a protestant and so you may not like the Book of Wisdom and the Book of Enoch, but if you read them then you will also see what I'm saying here. Election is Christ-Centric! For there can be no Election apart from Christ. Thus, He is thee Elect/Chosen One, and it is by way of Him that we become elect. Election in Christ is primarily Corporate and secondarily individualistic because the Covenant Community is inherently pluralistic. There is no such thing as a lone ranger Christian, correct?
Jesus said:
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."
Noticed that Jesus never said wherever one is gathered in my name. Thus being In Christ is inherently Communal. It is inherently Koinonia.
Eph 2:11-19 shows that it is pluralistic. That it is covenant community based. And so it is the community that exist in Christ that is primary. The individual who is united to the community is secondary.
For more info about Christ being Thee Chosen one and how we are chosen by way of Him, well, you can listen to this mp3 if you want:
Jesus - The Chosen and Beloved
Right, I'm not arguing that Christ is not the chosen one. I am referring specifically to Romans 9, and what it means. From what I read in the post that TheKenster posted (though I haven't read all of it quite yet) I think we were in general agreement here. That God's promise is given to those in Christ, as opposed to the literal descendants of Jacob. Now you are saying that Christ is the recipient of this promise?"
Yes, I agree with you that God's promise is given to those in Christ, as opposed to (all) the literal descendants of Jacob. However, the word Chosen is another way of saying Elect, and so Christ is the Elect One. And so I don't believe He is the recipient of the promise. What I believe is that He is the promise itself.
Christ is the promised seed as seen in Galatians.
Galatians 3:16
The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ.
Christ is also a Nation, the true Nation of Israel. If you look at the typology used by the Apostles in reference to Jesus then you will be able to see how Jesus is Israel.
Matthew 2:14-15
So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."
Hosea 11:1
"When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called my son."
The Church, which is His body, is also seen as the Israel of God:
Galatians 6:16
"Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God"
And so in this way we can see the connection between the Promised Seed(Who is Jesus) and all those who believe in the Promise.
We can see the connection between the Nation of Israel (Who is Jesus) and all those who want to be citizens of this Nation. Which is also the Kingdom of God for the Kingdom of God is connected to the Person of Christ. Christ is the very core, the very foundation of it all.
So what does this have to do with Romans chapter 9 you ask? Well, even-though there is no such thing as an infallible hermeneutic, I will make use of a common one in where Scripture is interpreted by Scripture, and so lets Interpret Romans Chapter 9 with not only other chapters from the book of Romans, but also Galatians chapter 3, Ephesians chapter 2, and maybe a few other sources from the Old Testament.
I truly believe that when we do it this way then we will see what Paul is trying to say more clearly.
Let's interpret a good portion of Romans chapter 9 through the lens of Galatians chapter 3.
Galatians 3:19
"Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator."
Galatians 3:22
"But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe."
Galatians 3:23-29
"Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Now, if we look at Romans chapter 9 then we will see that there were certain periods of time in where it was about which lineage would be the one to carry the promise seed.
Romans 9:5
"Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen."
Now let's look at what I quoted from Galatians with what I underlined in Romans 9:5 and let's compare them to the two examples given by the Apostle in verses 6 to 13.
For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned."In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring. For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.""
In this we see that the lineage of the promise seed would go down Isaac's family line and not Ismael's for in Galatians it says that Isaac was a son based on a divine promise while Ismael a son of a bond-servant woman. Now let's look at the next example.
"Not only that, but Rebekah's children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac. Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God's purpose in election might stand: not by works but by him who calls—she was told, "The older will serve the younger."Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.""
In this we see that the lineage of the promise seed would go to Jacob instead of Esau. Why? Faith! God foresaw that Jacob would believe while Esau wouldn't. In Paul's terminology, faith is not a work. We can see this all throughout the book of Romans, and Galatians.
A couple patristic quotes about the issue:
"God does not have to wait, as we do, to see which one will turn out good and
which one will turn out bad. He knew this in advance and decided accordingly."
Saint John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans....as quoted from the Ancient Christian commentary on scripture volume 6, edited by Gerold Bray and Thomas C. Oden page 250
"Thus God chose Isaac and rejected Ishmael and the children of Keturah. So also
he chose Jacob over Esau, even though both were formed together in the womb. Why
be surprised then, if God does the same thing nowadays, by accepting those of
you who believe and rejecting those who have not seen the light?"
Theodoret of Cyr: interpretation of the letter to the Romans....as quoted by Ancient christian commentary on scripture edited by Gerold Bray and Thomas C. Oden page 253
"What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses,
"I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy. For Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden."
God is not unjust on which lineage gets to carry the promise seed. The carrier of the promise seed is based on God's Mercy! And the Apostles already told us who God has Mercy on. He has Mercy on those who Believe!
Galatians 3:14
"He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit."
Romans 9:30-33
"What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. As it is written:
"See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.""
Romans 11:1-10
"I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don't you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: "Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me"? And what was God's answer to him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal." So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened, as it is written:
"God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that could not see
and ears that could not hear,
to this very day."
And David says:
"May their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.""
God's Mercy and Hardening is conditional:
Romans 11:19-23
"You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again."
And so, what I see in Romans chapter 9 is mostly what happens in regards to who gets to carry the promise seed in their lineage before the first advent, and then towards the end of Romans chapter 9 I see what happens after the first Advent. The one consistent theme in both pre and post 1st Advent is being embraced because of Faith.
Election is primarily corporate for me because it's all based on the Person of Christ who is also the Promise Seed and Israel! The Gentiles get a chance to become Citizens of the Nation of Israel, the Kingdom of God when they are united to Christ. And for me, this happens by way of Belief, Repentance, and Baptism(Water and Spirit).

Yes, Jesus is the chosen One; but its through what Jesus accomplished on the cross that enables "the promise" to reach to every man, eventually, *every man* in his own order (1Cor.15:*22-24). What promise...? "eternal life" of course (Titus 1:2). The "elect" are "chosen" for a purpose; to co-labor with God's all-encompassing goal: in due time, to become "All in all" of His creatures (1Cor.15:28). By the way: the "Israel of God" is not "the church, which is His body"; the "Israel of God" is constituted by the Jewish believers of 'the gospel of the kingdom' which Peter and the eleven preached in that day (distinct from Paul's gospel) and includes believers today who are preoccupied with (and dominated by) that Jewish-national-centric message today.

I seem to be very close to your view as you present it here. I have been saying for quite some time now that Christ's sacrifice is what was predestined, not certain individuals for salvation. Thank you for this post. I stumbled upon it while doing research on early church fathers and their view of predestination.
Looking at the titles of some of your other posts, I am sure we disagree about several things. However, I appreciate this post. Live in obedience to the Spirit, reverence to the Father, and thankfulness to Christ.

text: American Football is like just about every other sport, in that it has a history of coaches with a little understanding of the sport's demands on its players. Football is a constant stop-start style to play, with the average play lasting no longer than ten seconds, followed by a much longer rest period. It's demands are closer to traditional sprinting and weight training methods. Compared to sports like Rugby or Boxing, where there is a far greater endurance element required. With that said, the sport has a big element of lateral mobility and technical considerations as well.

Hello, and Good Morning!
I am so excited to share this morning that these are the first photos I've taken with my new "big girl" camera! I have sooo much to learn, but I couldn't help but start snapping and testing it out this weekend. I've waited a very long time to buy a nice camera and lens(es) for blogging. Justin and I did a lot of research before I decided which camera and brand to purchase. I ended up buying the Canon EOS Rebel T6S with an 18-135 lens + a 50mm lens I used to take the photos above. I'm also using Lightroom now to edit photos and gosh! it makes such a difference! I also got a really nice (and cute) pink camera bag that holds the body, lenses, SD card, card reader, cords, etc.
I can't wait to share new and improved photos with all of you and can't even tell you how excited I am to finally take blogging to the next level. I love Pardon Muah and it gives me so much fulfillment to share, learn and make new friends on a daily basis. I want my blog to continually improve in all ways, but especially when it comes to quality content and photos - and now I've got better tools for the job! For reference, we've been using Justin's smartphone (not an iPhone) for all of my pictures since May. And then I would edit them via Photoshop Elements.
Now on to today's blog post! How to juggle life when you're a busy, busy, bee.
Since my schedule has been so chaotic lately, I wanted to share some ways I stay organized and sane when I don't have enough hours in the day to get everything done. The past couple of weeks I've been working 55 hours a week before blogging and it's been way more challenging than I originally anticipated. Some weeks I'm better at juggling everything than others and sometimes I worry I won't be able to sustain such an intensive work schedule. But something valuable I have learned is that if you want to make time, you will and you can. I used to think I didn't have enough time to blog, but now that I've added a part-time job to the mix I realize I can definitely do it.
Since my schedule has been so chaotic lately, I wanted to share some ways I stay organized and sane when I don't have enough hours in the day to get everything done. The past couple of weeks I've been working 55 hours a week before blogging and it's been way more challenging than I originally anticipated. Some weeks I'm better at juggling everything than others and sometimes I worry I won't be able to sustain such an intensive work schedule. But something valuable I have learned is that if you want to make time, you will and you can. I used to think I didn't have enough time to blog, but now that I've added a part-time job to the mix I realize I can definitely do it.
Make a list. I mentioned list making in last week's Monday Motivation post titled When You're Feeling Blue... as a way to reduce anxiety and stress and the same rings true when you're schedule gets crazy. I'm a list maker by nature so it comes quite naturally and I find it very helpful. When you're really busy and your mind becomes a jumble of tasks and to-do's right them down. And don't worry about it being organized. Many times, I will quickly try and get everything down on paper that I can think of and after I'm done I will prioritize and put them into a list that makes sense. It's also a good idea to separate your list by work and personal.
Create a routine. Creating a routine >> you can stick to << is so important. I've found my more structured days where I wake up on time and keep to my schedule are much more productive and leave me feeling accomplished and satisfied. I've found creating a routine to be trial and error. Sometimes you're goals of waking up at 4 am and working out for three hours after work are lofty and you may find it doesn't work for you. So you shift and make a plan that works!
A clean space is a clear mind. My biggest piece of advice is to stay organized, constantly, and much like creating a routine, find a method that works for you. I've found I can take on more and more, and at work, lots of urgent projects, without losing my mind because I stay meticulously organized. Now, I know that's not everyone, but I highly encourage you to keep your home, your workspace, and even your email clean. It will help you to not lose or forget about something important. I like to keep a folder and notebook with my to-do list and urgent notes so whenever I go into meetings (and can't take my laptop) it's all there and I can add to it throughout the day.
Ask for help. No one can do it all. No one. So ask for help if you need it. It's better to communicate up front you are overwhelmed and need to reprioritize than to wait and miss a deadline. Or you'll find yourself doing so much so fast you may miss important details or produce work that is lower quality. Asking for help at home is also an option. If you need help with the usual chores, cooking dinner, etc. ask a significant other. I know this sounds obvious but sometimes we forget other people can't read our minds and it may not be blatantly clear you need an extra hand. If you live solo than reaching out to your family is also a great idea. I know when I lived alone I would call and talk to my mom, dad or grandparents and they would do their best to put my mind at ease, help me to reprioritize or remind me I can't always do it all - and that's okay!
Take time for yourself. I talked about this last Monday as well but taking time for yourself is so important! Self-care and being kind to your mind and body are critical to a healthy lifestyle and keeping yourself going. Going on vacation is great, but hey, it doesn't have to be a big trip. I haven't been on a true vacation for a super long time, but I find other ways to decompress. Whether it's taking a mental break to watch a beauty YouTube video, going to get my nails done, on a good day, a massage, or partaking in tv time with Heidi and Justin. You can also build it into your day so you have something to look forward to after meeting work goals and milestones.
Do what you can and save the rest for later. At the end of the day, you can only do so much. Your plans won't always go as, well, planned, so give yourself a break. The things you have to do, do first, and the rest, try your best and then move it over to tomorrow. As long as you try hard and do your best, you should go to bed with a smile on your face. With most things, consistency is key, and hard works will pay off in the end! Instant gratification is something we all want but great things come with time.
