I did a double take this morning. I was scrolling through my inbox and ran across an email allegedly from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding tax transcripts. It wasn't actually from IRS: It was a scam. However, it was close enough to get my attention.
Here's what the email looked like:
In contrast, here's what a recent Tax Tip email from the real IRS looks like:
The first one is a decent attempt to recreate an email from the IRS, and the topic is timely. The IRS has been advising taxpayers to double-check their withholding following tax reform (more on that here).
However, a tax return transcript isn't what you need to do a withholding checkup. A tax return transcript shows most line items including your adjusted gross income (AGI) from your original tax return as filed, along with any forms and schedules. In other words, it will show you what you reported on your last filed tax return. It doesn't show changes made after you filed your original return, including estimated payments or changes to your form W-4. If you really want to do a withholding checkup, you'd plug your current tax data into the withholding calculator on the IRS website. You can do a "paycheck checkup" directly on the site (find out more here) and make changes to your form W-4 if necessary (more on that here).
There are a few other tricks worth noting:
There are lots of red flags in the email, and you should be able to distinguish it from a real IRS email. The scary part is that scammers are getting much better at approximating the IRS and other federal agencies, as well as financial institutions. Taxpayers need to remain alert.
The irony of receiving the email today is that the IRS, state tax agencies and the tax community, partners in the Security Summit, have dubbed this week as "National Tax Security Awareness Week." All week they've been sending reminders to taxpayers and tax professionals. One of those reminders noted "a surge of new, sophisticated email phishing scams." (You can read more here.)
The IRS encourages taxpayers who receive these phishing emails to forward them to email@example.com. I did and received an acknowledgment. Here's part of the reply:
We have received your report of possible phishing or fraud. Although we review and investigate each email we receive, due to the number of incident complaints, we cannot guarantee a personal response to your message.
Please note that the IRS does not contact individuals by email.
Therefore, if you received an email claiming to be from the IRS it is a phishing attempt and should be reported to us.
The IRS values your report, and encourages individuals to report future IRS phishing/fraud to firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can handle these incidents and limit the number of possible victims.
While forwarding the email to the proper authorities is encouraged, don't engage or respond with scammers. Here's how to protect yourself:
As a reminder, the IRS will never:
Don't fall for the tricks. Keep your personal information safe by remaining alert. And, when in doubt, assume it's a scam. For tips on protecting yourself from identity theft-related tax fraud, click here.

We love the look and feel of our existing logo, but are looking to replace the dog/cat mascots. We want a similar fun feel, but want to re-create our own dogs (a basset hound and a bernese mountain dog) as our mascots. I have included photos of our pets, and photos of the existing logo.
TO CLARIFY: We do not need or want changes to our JOLLYTAILS logo, we are just looking to add the two dog characters. You can use the JOLLYTAILS logo to place them next to the mascots, but please don't make changes to the existing logo (and it is better if the dogs are not interacting with the logo because they may appear at places without it)

These two pictures are of our Global Mental Health interns! You can learn more about this year's interns on the Global Mental Health Programs website. I was very fortunate to have been able to work with such an incredible group of students. I was really able to get to know their varied interests and to learn about their different backgrounds and what led them here to work with mental health. I am sad to say that my time at the Global Mental Health Program has come to an end. This has been such a great learning experience and I am so grateful to have received a grant from Dickinson so that I was able to spend my summer with the GMHP.
While the official intern program ended on August 2nd, I decided to extend my time for an additional week since I enjoyed my time with my research mentor and his team so much.
This is a picture of me with Dr. Sabrina Hermosilla and Karina Hickey, two of our supervisors for the Global Mental Health Program. Dr. Hermosilla and Karina led most of our meetings and professional development seminars and were incredible mentors.
It was really amazing to work with both of them this summer. Dr. Hermosilla has a Master's in Public Health (MPH) as well as PhD in Epidemiology from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Columbia University Medical Center. Karina is from Australia and currently is the Communications and Publications Coordinator for the Global Mental Health Program.

The 17-floor building is being built in Seattle's historic Nihonmachi (Japantown) — a city-central neighborhood ripe with culture, history and a bright future.
SEATTLE — On March 30 beginning at 11 a.m., KODA Condominiums will be available for presale to the public for the first time since developers celebrated the building's groundbreaking in February.
A first-of-its-kind for Seattle's Chinatown-International District, KODA was announced last year by DA LI Development USA and Realogics Sotheby's International Realty (RSIR) as a vertical village in one of the most central locations of Seattle, and newly released condominiums will now be available to purchase at the grand opening sales debut.
Focusing on an internal social community and attainable ownership, the condominiums are being built in historic Nihonmachi (Japantown) — a city-central neighborhood ripe with culture, history and a bright future. The homes — steps away from the LINK light rail, the Seattle Streetcar and the historic Union Station — also boast proximity to Seattle's multiple modes of mass transit for commuters and urban adventurers. With an official Transit Score of 100 and Walk Score of 98, this South Main Street location is hard to beat.
The March 30 official sales debut will feature a new release of studio, urban-one, one-, two- and three-bedroom flats that range in size from 464 to 1,065 square feet. They will be priced from below $450,000 to more than $1.4 million.
Now under construction, the homes are set for occupancy by late 2020.
The KODA Sales Gallery, located at 510 Occidental Ave. S., will host a variety of internationally themed food and drink to celebrate its public premiere.
"We are thrilled to have exceptional sales momentum as we begin construction," says Matt VanDamm, vice president of new developments at RSIR. "KODA is a very special building in a quintessential downtown location and our buyers are extremely excited about the unique opportunity to own in this vibrant neighborhood."
The neighborhood, centered between downtown's Central Business District, the Chinatown-International District, historic Pioneer Square, and action-packed Capitol Hill, possesses boundless potential of which homebuyers are finally taking note. Nearby, the Stadium District offers countless events and happenings ranging from professional sports and concerts to exhibitions and seasonal traditions. Perhaps most transformative is the $2 billion waterfront restoration project and seaside promenade that promises to return Seattle's connection to Elliott Bay.
"It's of little surprise that 80 percent of the homes at KODA have already been placed under reservation, with some early investors holding their position for more than a year awaiting this moment," VanDamm says.
Reservation holders have begun converting to purchase and sale agreements while a new release of inventory is offered for immediate purchase. A 5 percent earnest-money deposit is required to lock in the introductory pricing.
The interiors of the condominiums exhibit a unique charm befitting of KODA's one-of-a-kind environment. Walls of windows flood the units with natural light and offer views of Elliott Bay and the city's skyline. Other noteworthy features include streamlined kitchens with stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops, and engineered hardwood flooring.
New homeowners can personalize their homes by choosing between two designer color schemes and also considering other options such as kitchen islands, extending hardwood floors into bedrooms, adding window treatments, and exploring a host of high-tech features.
Amenities are available across four levels of the 17-floor building, including a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Seattle, a 17th-floor club room, a seventh-floor wellness center, Zen garden, meeting rooms, a grand lobby with concierge and co-working lounge, controlled-access parking and street-level retail.
Brokers say the newly public sales gallery projects expectations for KODA homes to sell quickly and they are encouraging potential buyers to act quickly.
"We have some terrific opportunities for new homebuyers looking for attainable ownership in a future-ready condominium," says Michele Liang, community sales associate. "Those that act soon will enjoy a preferred selection."

There are a mind-blowing number of choices of cheap golf clubs australia equipment used in golf today.

A good grip can separate the guys that can drive a ball straight down the fairway from the ones that pull it into the rough. There are so many grips out there that you can use, that it's really up to you which one feels the most comfortable. The grip is all about the pinky on your right hand, and the index finger on your left hand; whether or not they touch, overlap, or interlock. It's your choice.

The fairway woods are slightly more lofted than the driver, and are used for long shots when the ball is lying on the ground. The club heads used to be made of wood, but now are mostly metal. Fairway woods normally retail from $150 to $300. Discount woods such as Ping G25 Australia taylormade r9 fairway wood will save you a lot of money.

Second step - When you start to feel comfortable and confident about the techniques in grasping the club, you may then continue to study how to pitch and putt. Focusing on the golf ball is also an important aspect especially when you are about to exert force and energy for a full swing.

While I was hitting the club however TaylorMade R15 Fairway Wood Australia I did tend to hit a bit too high. I believe the shaft has a lot to do with this as I hit a 10.5* FT9-Tour and never have this issue. All this means is that if you are a stronger player, you will notice this yourself while demo the club, and if need be you can defiantly get an upgraded shaft to keep the ball flight down.

March 17, 1987, Section A, Page 9Buy Reprints
Barbara Walters provided the White House with documents reporting that an Iranian arms merchant believed that Lieut. Col. Oliver L. North had diverted profits from the sale of arms to Iran to the Nicaraguan insurgents, a senior White House official said today.
The official's comments were part of a general White House confirmation that President Reagan had received two documents with information on the sales from Ms. Walters, a television journalist for ABC News, in December and January. The comments confirmed an account published in today's Wall Street Journal.
The White House spokesman, Marlin Fitzwater, said the documents had been presented to the White House after Ms. Walters interviewed the arms merchant, Manucher Ghorbanifar, and Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi businessman, last December. He said that he had no knowledge of how they had reached the President.
At the same time, Mr. Fitzwater said the President had ''tentatively'' decided to hold a news conference, but he would not indicate when. Officials have been trying to provide Mr. Reagan with enough time to prepare for such a session, which would be his first since Nov. 19.
On the matter of the documents, Mr. Fitzwater said he had been told ''that they had nothing new in them in terms of material information that would cast new light on the case.''
Both documents were turned over to Peter J. Wallison, the White House counselor, who made them available to the Tower Commission's investigation of the Iran-contra affair.
The senior White House official said that the documents, for the most part, recounted comments by Mr. Ghorbanifar in an interview with Ms. Walters for the ABC News program ''20/20.'' ABC News released a statement in New York today that said Ms. Walters's ''transmission of her information to the President was in violation of a literal interpretation of news policy.''
''ABC policy expressly limits journalists cooperating with Government agencies unless threats to human lives are involved,'' the statement said. ''Ms. Walters believed that to be the case.''
In The Wall Street Journal article, Richard Wald, a senior vice president of ABC News, said that a memorandum outlining Mr. Ghorbanifar's private statements had been sent to the White House at the arms merchant's request.
Ms. Walters's office referred telephone calls today to Mr. Wald. A secretary in his office said he was in a meeting and not available for comment.

Michael Conforto is on pace to have one of the best single-season offensive performances in Mets history, entering Wednesday hitting .278 with a .385 OBP and .559 SLG to go along with 27 HR in 107 games. The 24-year-old Conforto, who made his first All-Star Game appearance this season, is on pace to finish the year with 35 HR.
As Conforto comes into his own as a star, let's look back at the five best offensive seasons in team history...
Darryl Strawberry, 1987
Strawberry won the Rookie of the Year award in 1984 and was second in the MVP voting in 1988, but the 1987 campaign was arguably his best. As a 25-year-old, Strawberry hit .284/.398/.583 with 39 HR (tied for the most in his career, with 1988), 104 RBI, 32 doubles, 108 runs scored, and 36 stolen bases.
Jose Reyes, 2006
At just 23 years old, 2006 was the season Reyes put it all together as the Mets won their first N.L. East title since 1988. Reyes slashed .300/.354/.487 (the second-highest slugging percentage of his career) with 64 stolen bases, 17 triples, 19 HR, 122 runs scored, and 81 RBI. His 2007, 2008, and 2011 seasons were also tremendous.
Mike Piazza, 2000
In his third season as a Met, the 31-year-old Piazza tore the cover off the ball, hitting .324/.398/.614 with 38 HR, 26 doubles, and 113 RBI. From May of 1998 -- when he was acquired by the Mets -- to 2002 -- Piazza clubbed 170 home runs, but his 2000 campaign was his best full-season performance as a Met.
David Wright, 2007
Wright's 2006 and 2008 campaigns were also stellar, but his 2007 season stands a bit above those. As a 24-year-old, Wright hit .325/.416/.546 with 30 HR, 42 doubles, 34 stolen bases, and 107 RBI. Along the way, he made the second of five-straight All-Star games.
Carlos Beltran, 2006
We're speaking just offensive-wise for the purposes of this article, but Beltran was arguably the best all-around player the Mets ever had. And the offensive season he had in 2006 was simply extraordinary. In his second year with the Mets, the 29-year-old hit .275/.388/.594 with 41 HR (tied for the most in team history), 38 doubles, 116 RBI, 127 runs scored, and 18 stolen bases.

Teresa Giudice — she of the "Real Housewives" and ever diminishing forehead — will be spending 15 months in the Orange Is The New Black jail in Danbury, Connecticut. We should clarify that the facility is an actual jail, not some sort of experiential playground a la Disneyland, which is what Mrs. Giudice seems to think it is.
The reality TV star has been indicted for bankruptcy fraud after her and her shady husband were found doing even shadier business dealings. Giudice, who does not have a forehead, has made several statements to anyone that will listen stating that she'd really like to go to that particular prison, because she is a fan of the show. Dreams do come true, you guys!
Mrs. Giudice, who can now add jailbird to her resumé just underneath being a noted forehead minimalist, will have just missed singer Lauryn Hill, who served three months at the same prison for tax evasion.

White soundless snow

Whispering wishes of spring
Meditation and introspection during a long winter's walk.
I put on my favorite Darn Tough socks.
I ate a good breakfast. (My husband made it for me.)
I laced up my boots and threw my pack into the car.
I had packed my big backpack the night before with all the essentials. You know, everything you need on a short day hike. Stove, pots, 2 liters of water, rain gear, head lamp, emergency blanket, extra clothes, gloves, food for two days. I just wanted to be prepared – I am in training after all.
I asked my nephew to hike with me and was happy he agreed. Matthew hikes fast and doesn't complain when I can't keep up.
My husband drove us to the trail head on Getman Road and I discovered a very fast moving stream about shin deep right across the trail. I wasn't familiar with this trail head, but I looked up and down the creek and couldn't find a way across that wouldn't mean hiking in wet boots the rest of the way, so we moved to Plan B.
Plan B was entering the trail at Mammot Road. We would have had to hike .7 miles on this road anyway, now we will avoid the road walk. I peeked down the trail before making the commitment to the hike. It seemed wet, but not impassable. I sent my husband on his way back home and Matthew and I took off down the trail.
We encountered many, many "puddles" aka swampy areas. Matt has LONG legs and moves like a gazelle. I have short stubby legs and I lacked any finesse hopping over these areas, especially carrying my full pack. I prayed my boots stayed dry and the prayer worked. And I really sloshed through the water. As long as it wasn't over my ankle I was good. (I love my Keen boots!)
Matt and I stuck close together while the ground was a giant puddle but once the trail dried out, Matt was off like a flash. The trail was very easy to follow. The bright orange blazes were close together and I knew Matt would be able to follow it no problem.
Matt backtracked a little to find me and told me saw a railroad track ahead. Sure enough we came upon the track and glanced in both directions. No trains in sight. Drat. That would have been a treat to see a train so close. We didn't want to wait around not knowing the schedule at all.
We spotted the orange flag in a tree branch indicating the trail entrance and Matt took off again. I stopped a few times to take some pictures, look at the sky, admire the forest and listen to the birds. We didn't see any deer, only their footprints and some scat.
We saw some gorgeous waterfalls, including one that I drive by everyday and didn't even know that it was there! It was spectacular especially with all the snow melt and rain we had recently.
We crossed Broadway into Darien Lake State Park. We found the log book and signed in.
It started to really warm up so I stopped to take off my jacket and we had an impromptu snack time. After a few cheese puffs, beef jerky and red fish we were fortified.
I put a few red fish in my pocket and we continued our journey. It didn't take long to come across the blue trail to the lean to.
I gave Matt the option to hike it and he declined so we continued on following the orange blazes towards Sumner Road.
We actually heard a tree fall somewhere nearby and we both stopped in our tracks. We looked at each other relieved that it wasn't a bear crashing through the woods to eat us. Then I found a ninja tree stump! Tell me it doesn't look like ninja??
The trail ends at a parking lot on Sumner Road, so when I started hearing traffic I called my husband to pick us up. Timed right we wouldn't wait long for him. We exited the trail and found a picnic bench, snacked again and had a drink. I picked up trash I found in the lot.
It was a beautiful day of nearly 60 degrees in January. It took us about two hours to hike about 4 miles. Matt said he'd be up to hiking this trail again when it was dry!
I have a few other trails up my sleeve for us, too! I just ordered and received a bunch of maps from the Finger Lakes Trail Conference. My goal this summer is to hike the Letchworth State Park branch trail of the FLT.
Fabulous! Excited! Amazing! ALIVE!
I have a Bucket List. Do you? If not, you should! A Bucket List details things that you would like to accomplish during your lifetime. Recently, I was able to check off a couple things on my Bucket List.
Well, I'm trying to step outside my comfort zone in baby steps. It's not easy for me to do things that I feel intimidated by. I know, I know, I want to thru hike the Appalachian Trail…pretty intimidating. So I have to start putting myself out there NOW.
One really fun thing I did off my Bucket List was participate in the Color Run. A Color Run is a 5K non race. Just my thing! During the run/walk/skipping along the course there are "Color Zones" where a bunch of people throw different colored powder at you. There's an orange zone, pink zone, blue zone, purple zone, you get the drift. By the end of the course you are covered head to toe in different colors.
Participating in the Color Run was a little intimidating for me. I was afraid you had RUN or JOG the whole thing. Heaven forbid!! NOT TRUE!!! The more I read other people's experiences I was satisfied that I could just walk or skip or jog a tiny bit. Unfortunately, the night before the race I was anxious. I didn't want to go alone. I was ready to back out. My registration was paid, I had my t-shirt and polka-dot socks, but I was NERVOUS! My husband came to my rescue, like he often does, and when I asked him if he would join me on the course, he said he would. He is such a trooper. We both got thoroughly covered in different colors and we walked pretty much the entire way, but at the end we still got shiny silver medals and we weren't the last ones across the finish line!
Another thing I really had to do was sleep outside in the woods all by myself. Since I was a little girl I've been afraid of the dark. Now, I've outgrown being afraid while in the darkness of my house. Mostly…but especially when my dogs or others are around. When I am with others outside in the dark, easy; I'm not scared really at all. If I am alone outside, with only a tent, how will I do? Well, I survived!
I started out with a baby step. I slept in my backyard! Now, I have a very woodsy backyard. Where I slept, I couldn't see my house, but I could see my shed. It was pitch black out.
I knew my dogs and husband were only a few hundred feet away. I knew I could easily walk back to my house in the dark. I also had a headlamp and my phone so I had light. Like I said, baby steps. It was also a baby step for my husband. He loves to worry! He was pretty freaked out about me sleeping outside by myself. It was good for both of us. I slept okay and managed to not freak out more than twice from the weird noises. When I woke up at 6 am, I walked to the house and slept another couple hours in my bed.
Just this past weekend I decided it was now or never to actually camp out in the woods away from home. I convinced my husband to drop me off at a nearby trail head where I knew about 2 miles down the trail was a lean to. We left late in the day so I wouldn't be at the lean to bored out of my mind for too long before bed.
There was one car in the parking lot and as any worry wart would, my husband took a picture of their license plate. As I hiked, the woods became darker and darker. I forgot how it gets darker in the woods more quickly.
Whew. I made it to the lean to and unpacked my gear. I started a small fire in the fire ring, and I mean small.
While settling in I realized the mosquitoes were going to kill me. Even with repellent on. There were mouse droppings in the lean to. I felt exposed. And scared. And nervous. And worried. And And And!
So, in the dusk, I rapidly set up my tent. I'm so glad it's so easy! In less than 15 minutes I was snug as a bug inside my tent watching the fire die out.
Somehow during my rush I butt dialed my mother. When I realized it and put the phone to my ear and heard her beautiful voice it was like magic! It was like I was cheating a little though. I was supposed to be outside in the woods overnight by myself. Well, my mother couldn't do anything to protect me when she is just on the other end of the phone so we chatted for 10 minutes and she encouraged me and I felt so much more brave!
Inside my tent that night I could hear the nearby amusement park roller coaster and what I thought were the screams of the riders! It's crazy how sound travels. Then I heard their fireworks at 9pm and then again at 10pm. Then it was eerily silent. Just the sounds of the forest around me. The call of a barred owl, the miscellaneous insects and some weird licking sound? Seriously??!!?? I heard a raccoon and YELLED at it! It must have run off because I never heard it's chittering sound again. I kept hearing the "licking" sound, though. Like my dog licking his paw over and over and over…ugh. I have no idea what that was, and I don't care. I just turned Adele Radio on and drowned it out for 20 minutes. It worked. I fell asleep and dreamed. I posted a 4 minute video at the end of this article if you want to know really how my night was and what my dream was about. Just be kind; it was a no makeup kind of day.
My body clock finally woke me at my usual time just before the sunrise and gradually I could hear the forest waking up all around me. The birds began their morning songs and I debated whether to hike for awhile or just head back to the trail head and have my husband pick me up. I started my little stove and ate hot granola with blueberries.
As I walked around the trees while eating and breathing in the sweet morning air I felt exhilarated! I made it through the night! But, I wanted to go home. I packed up and headed back.
Baby steps.
Next time I will hike longer in, camp out and hike longer out. All by myself. Sigh. Now to just do it.
A couple other small things I have checked off my Bucket List is making a little gnome home. I did that at the base of one of the largest red oak trees in Erie County, which happens to be in my front yard.
The other thing checked off was that I had wanted my picture taken with Shark Girl. She is a lot like me! Quite a resemblance. Especially the teeth!
Also at Canalside in Buffalo was the world's largest rubber duck. I didn't realize that seeing it was on my bucket list until I heard about it. But, how could you NOT go see the world's LARGEST rubber ducky! It was 6 stories tall and weighs about one ton!
Next week on my bucket list is: I get to meet Alison Arngrim. She is the actress that played Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie. Can't wait!
The week after that I have PRK eye surgery scheduled. That will cross off another thing on my Bucket List! No glasses for me on my thru hike!
Whew…that's quite enough for now!
As promised here is the scary video! Sorry about the vertical video. I'm learning!
Checked off another one on the bucket list! Add video to my blog!
Ah, alone time. As much as I love to hike with others, I love much more to hike alone. There is something about the quiet solitude and keeping my own pace that I find very peaceful.
After leaving a detailed note for my napping hubby on where I would be I set off for Darien Lakes State Park. My plan was to hike the Conservation Trail that runs through the park, turn around and hike back to the car.
It was windy, warm and a great day for being outside. When I parked my car there were two other cars in the small lot at the trail head. I didn't anticipate seeing anyone though as this is a big park! The trail started at the top of a gully and I could look down and see the creek that looked pretty dry. Don't worry, I stayed away from the edge!
The Conservation Trail runs from Pennsylvania to Canada for about 177 miles. The trail was built and is maintained by Foothills Trail Club of Western New York. The Conservation Trail is part of the Finger Lakes Trail System which extends eastward across New York State to the Catskills. I've hiked other sections of this trail in Hunter's Creek Park and Akron Falls Park and others. I was impressed by the trail markings here. You really can't get lost on this trail!
This trail looked like a lot of people used it. Or, so I thought.
Yes, there is a trail here. Or there usually is! The grass is growing so fast the trail is almost obscured, but I could just barely make out the orange blaze on the tree at the far end of the picture!
Don't worry I sprayed myself with Deet and checked myself for ticks after this hike! I found one on my shirt sleeve. Killed that sucker!
Not long after that crazy overgrown section, a perfectly new, beautiful boardwalk appeared. The dragonflies were bouncing off the ground ahead of me enjoying the sunshine even more than me!
Some of the trail was mucky and trail maintainers or other hikers had used large sticks and logs to try to cover the mud in the path. It worked for the most part. I don't mind getting my boots muddy anyway.
After hiking a while I saw a blue trail blaze. On the Appalachian Trail a "blue blaze" will take you to a shelter, water, vista, or other point of interest off of the "white blazed" Appalachian Trail. Here, the Conservation Trail is "orange blazed" and this "blue blaze" led to a lean-to!
Of course, I just had to check it out! I figured it would add an extra mile to my hike, so I would do it on my way back. I nearly sprinted to finish up getting to the trail head at the other end of the park because I wanted to go back to see this darn lean-to!
Here is a pretty photo of the trail at the opposite end from where I started.
Doesn't this look so incredibly inviting? It pulls me in like a magnet.
Those rocks lining the trail's entrance are perfect. I imagine it could have been easy to just create the trail by clearing the way, but to add the rocks at the entrance to welcome you and make it beautiful just brightens my day. Thank you to those people that lugged those rocks and put them in place for me to enjoy!
Okay, enough of that. I hiked back to the blue blaze trail head to go to the lean-to and then for a horrified moment realized I left a note that explained I would be only on the Conservation Trail, not on a side trail. In case something happened to me I would want someone to know where to find me. I checked my cell service and realized I had service and could call for help if needed. I was fine. I should have sent my husband a text so he knew, but I didn't. I guess I figured the bloodhounds would find me. Ugh, the things solo hikers worry about.
The half-mile blue blazed trail was not as well maintained as the Conservation Trail. Probably not as well used, either. It was mucky, but fun! Here is what I found at the end!!! (Hint: I think if you click on a picture it will get bigger so you can see it better!)
Now I wish I had packed my overnight pack! I could have been right at home here! This lean-to was Justin Yaw's Eagle Scout project on May 24, 2003, Troop 67, Corfu, NY! How awesome is that! This Eagle Scout is a man now, moved on to bigger and more important things I'm sure. He has no idea that a crazy hiker lady just fell in love with his little lean-to he built back in 2003!
The wind was picking up and the sun was getting lower and I was getting hungry for dinner! So, I picked up the pace and headed back to the car, but not before I heard a wild turkey, saw a chipmunk, squirrel and a bear. Oh wait, no, there wasn't a bear. It was my imagination. When you're hiking alone, sometimes your head plays tricks on you!
It's all good, keeps the heart pumping!
Until next time! Hike on!

NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has measured all the starlight produced over 90% of the universe's history. The telescope measures gamma-ray output from distant galaxies, especially from blazars (galaxies with a massive black hole in their center).
When these high energy rays collide with starlight, they can transform into matter (an electron and a positron), according to Einstein's famous E=mc2 formula.
As starlight continues to travel through space even after stars have burned out, it is possible to assess the formation rate and evolution of stars, without observing the stars themselves.

AHU COACHES' CORNER: Small-area games are an important tool for all ages
Hockey is played on a large sheet of ice – one of the only sports where the playing field is the same size for youth and professional players.
However, the game of hockey is actually played in small areas of the ice. College and NHL teams participate in station-based practice drills because they deliver more touches, skating time, passes and shots.
These small-area games and drills are a vital device to help players of all ages hone their hockey ability in ways that larger area drills cannot. By implementing more small-area games and drills into your practices, you will quickly see the benefits after just a few weeks of work. Players work hard, learn more and have more fun when they run small-area drills. The pace and speed also provide the cognitive training players need for game days.
Small-area games are game-like scenarios played in specific zones on the ice. Zones can include cross-ice, between faceoff dots, corners, below faceoff dots or other areas, including the neutral zone. The zone is determined by the skill being taught. The drills are designed to teach a combination of skills, while using cross-ice and full-ice techniques to teach team skills like breakouts and power plays.
In running small-area games and drills, any combination of players can be used, and special rules and conditions can be applied to mimic different scenarios encountered during games. Changing up the rules keep the drills fresh and allow players to see many different offensive and defensive situations. These are perfect for teaching multiple skills and increasing puck touches and repetitions. Players secure more puck touches because of the reduction in playing field size and the special conditions applied. Players are placed in tight situations and will have more attempts on the net than in traditional drills.
European teams have been using small-area games in practices for many years. The NHL, junior teams, college teams and the USA Hockey National Team Development Program also utilize small-area games and drills, which are now starting to become much more common in U.S. youth programs.
Go to any stick time and you will see kids develop their own small-area pick-up games. Small games also help kids develop their creativity and interject fun into any practice. These type of games promote creativity and experimentation by creating a structured drill, but not a scripted outcome. This more closely matches a real game situation, where nothing is predetermined. Small-area games create scenarios to train players in developing skills and decision-making. These are similar to game-day scenarios.
Small games push players to work hard and compete with each other at game speed. A player under the age of 14 still needs to spend a significant amount of time focusing on stick skills, how to make plays, how to be decisive, and how to be aggressive on the puck. In a game designed to be played in short, explosive bursts of speed and power, small-game drills train players in real game scenarios. Unlike endurance drills, which are designed for conditioning, small games provide those intense situations that mimic game day work/rest timing and keep players moving in the rhythm of a game day.
Running these games and drills will foster a learning environment where kids enjoy the game and want to come back and play more while still developing and honing their individual and team skills. Turning skill development drills into shooting drills or games can make them more fun and motivating for youth hockey players.
Kurt Goar is Arizona Hockey Union's coach-in-chief.

Lizards gulp prey whole. Adult prey is dispatched in jaws. Health insurance is available for exotic pets for health or injury, as per end of video. Shop around. Make sure to take care of your pets. This video focuses on the science of reptile behavior that supported a master's thesis in zoology. Video is made public for the citation for junior high school, and high school science reports. Also recommended for college and graduate level source citation for zoological biostatistics. Video taken on January 27, 2008 of a Crocodile monitor (Varanus salvadorii) eating a feeder rodent. In name only, this is a monitor lizard, not to be confused with an actual crocodile. Two points of this video. One, predatory reptiles generally know instinctively to avoid wasting resources in dispatching small and harmless prey; and two, this video demonstrates how predatory lizards devour prey by a common method of "grab and gulp". Monitor lizards are opportunistic predators. These lizards eat carrion, but like most monitors, their diet is largely made up of invertebrates and small mammals. Crocodile monitors are a species of monitor lizard, which is native to New Guinea. It is also known by the names Papua(n) monitor, Salvadori's monitor and artellia. The largest monitor lizard in New Guinea, and is believed to be one of the longest lizards in the world, having a long whip-like tail, a total body length up to 8 feet (244 cm) and in some cases may exceed the length of the world's largest (heaviest) lizard, the Komodo dragon. Filmed with the University of Guadalajara for Biological and Agricultural Sciences, the division of Biological and Environmental Science Division, at the department of Botany and Zoology.

The issues of depoliticisation of Government institutions and
public relations, normally branded as an anathema to one another by the
media, have become aligned this week. The Competition Commission, the
new non-politically-affiliated arbiter which is to replace the Mergers
and Monopolies Commission, is hunting for an independent PR agency as
part of its bid to take the politics out of the policing of mergers.
The Commission is not, as could quite naturally be expected, looking for
a public affairs specialist, or indeed an agency particularly known for
its political nous. Instead, it is looking to hire an astute generalist
with the skills required to convince the media and business alike of the
genuine transparency of the new body.
A new independent competition authority will need to be more than just a
renamed version of the present Monopolies and Mergers Commission. It
will need to set its own agenda as opposed to responding to ministerial
instructions. But equally important to the success of the body will be
the way in which it communicates this shift in responsibility, and the
way in which it builds business confidence in its authority as
Hiring communication expertise is seen as a necessary step in the
depoliticisation of competition policy and shows a refreshing
recognition that for a company or organisation to be considered
transparent it must learn how to establish channels of communications.

How Humanity And Wellness Relate
Wellness affects human beings for our entire lifespan. Humanity is what we experience from the minute of birth. A healthy baby born into the world is quickly determined by counting all fingers and toes. Such a simple process yet, is it really the sign of wellness? In that moment it is, the relief and joy that surrounds that new baby touches every core of our humanity. As a new life begins so does the chore of caretaking and so begins the journey to wellness, with all the decisions of how best to take care of our family and our selves.
Human Wellness
Wellness has evolved to be a sought after topic, to the tune of 9 million people a month who are searching online for the next best thing to promote and maintain wellness. Humanity's journey to wellness has opened up the concept that treating the body is not the only way to maintain optimal health. Human beings are not just bodies that need treatment when an illness occurs; the depth of a human being encompasses the whole being – mind, body and spirit. It is evident that with the evolution of wellness and modern medicine our lifespan has increased. We live longer and will continue to live longer.
We Must Be Doing Something Right
Looking at the baby boomer demographic better known as the greater generation, the aging rate increased between 1971 and 2006 and will continue to increase until 2056. It is not uncommon to live well into 80 years of life, 8 decades to be in the world, what a gift and if you take really good care of yourself, you have an opportunity to live to 90 years or more.
What Is The Value Of Our Humanity
In living longer lives wellness becomes even more important
The popular phrase "quality of life" is coupled with a variety of practices to help us maintain and live healthier lifestyles. Our human basic needs become more important than ever. In aging, life becomes more precious and there is a sad nostalgic pride that human beings share with the passage of time. It is our history and our legacy on earth, and as human beings we have the opportunity in today's world to embrace our humanity and live it to the fullest. It is truly a gift that we share and pass on from generations to generations.
So when you forget the gift of your humanity and hardly have time to take care of yourself let alone anyone else think about this:
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. ~Mohandas Gandhi
Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever. Forever.~Khalil Gibran

The American Trucking Associations (ATA) said it is applauding the Senate's passage of a pension relief bill that ATA believes will help ease the financial strain on American businesses due to the lagging economy and current volatility in the financial markets.
"Short-term, emergency relief for single employer and multi-employer pension plans will help the trucking industry and all businesses cope with the challenges presented by the faltering economy," said Bill Graves, ATA president. "We urge President Bush to sign this important legislation."
ATA said the bill, known as the Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, would alleviate the financial burden of corporations that have faced stricter pension funding requirements since passage of the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
The Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent just one day after the House passed it by voice vote.
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 required companies that failed to meet targeted funding percentages in a particular year to contribute funds covering those missed target amounts. Typically, this shields employees from exposure to market volatility. However, in today's economic climate, employers are facing pension costs that are significantly higher than last year's. This comes at a time when the trucking industry is facing declining freight volumes, decreased revenues, and a growing number of bankruptcies, ATA said.
Provisions within the legislation include an optional one-year freeze on changes in a pension plan's zone status, and the addition of three years to the funding improvement and rehabilitation periods for pension plans in the yellow or red zone in 2008 and 2009, according to ATA information.

Catch of the day RNLI saves seal
IT wasn't their usual kind of rescue but that didn't make the victim any less important.
Yesterday a rescue boat was launched after a large male seal was spotted drowning.
Local man Pat Ivory was going for a swim when he noticed a large seal caught in fishing nets 30 metres off the breakwater in Arklow, Co Wicklow.
He contacted Arklow gardai who called Arklow RNLI and a rescue boat and the lifeboat were launched at 4.20pm.
Lifeboat Operations manager, Jimmy Tyrell, said the rescue went very well and crewmen Michael Fitzgerald and Scott Heeny went out to the distressed seal in a small rescue boat where they freed him within minutes.
They were assisted by the lifeboat which remained close by in case the seal became violent and jeopardised their safety. "From our point of view we wanted to free the seal and also to prevent members of the public attempting their own rescue from the shore because this would have been very hazardous due to the fishing nets in the water there," said Jimmy.
"The rescue was very successful and once they had removed the netting from around the seal's head he swam off."
Paul Comiskey of Arklow Garda Station said: "We have since learnt he was trapped in the nets for at least 24 hours, however when freed he swam off without any difficulty."

Brunch at The Commons, Darlinghurst
I have heard about this place from various friends. I was quite excited when M suggested this place for breakfast one weekday before work. I rocked up only to find that they were closed! Apparently, they don't open on weekdays for breakfast anymore. However, they didn't update their website (at the time). I was gutted! However, when another group of friends suggested this place, well, I was more than delighted to go, I couldn't say no.
The Commons is located in the quite back streets of Darlinghurst. It's quite a cute little place. There are minimal seating outside, but inside, 5 large communal tables, and a couple of smaller tables in the middle. I love the sandstones, the pillars and the stair case in the middle of the café. It has that nice, relax vibe which I loved.
I came here with 'The Mother' and our friends, A, K and B. A and K were running late, so 'The Mother' and I started with coffee. The coffee was good, strong and delicious – just the way I like it!
A, K and I ordered the same thing, baked eggs with parma ham and spinach. Served in a small hot pan, I thought it was one of the smallest breakfast I have ever seen! However, I was pleasantly surprised. It was surprisingly filling! Parma ham is used as the base, and filled with spinach, and topped with two eggs. It was also served with a slice of toast and butter.
The baked eggs were delicious, the spinach and parma ham were a great complement. Unfortunately, I thought the baked eggs were a little over cooked and made it a tad dry. I still do prefer the baked eggs from Clover – it is a lot moister. I was secretly hoping that the yolk were runny and oozed into the spinach and ham. Nevertheless, it was still quite delicious!
'The Mother' opted for house-made crumpets with butter and honey. Four little round fluffy crumpets, they were incredible! Soft, fluffy, moist with a generous serving of honey and butter it was scrumptious good! 'The Mother' only gave me a bite, and mind you – a tiny one at that, and I can see why! I wouldn't want to share it with anyone else!
Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of B's omelette. He had the Omelette with Bronte bacon, mushrooms and herbs. It was quite a generous serving and B seemed to have enjoyed it (considering how he demolished it!).
The service I thought was a little slow. In their defense, there was only ONE waiter waiting on the floor. It wasn't ridiculously busy, but you would think at 'peak' hour brunch time there would be more than one waiter! Nevertheless, we thought he did a great job considering the circumstances.
The Commons is run by husband and wife team, Christopher and Gabrielle Moore. The menu is influenced by Italian, French and British cuisine and uses the best of local produce and what is in season at the time. They are open for lunch and dinner weekdays, and weekends, and breakfast on weekends only.
It was a great breakfast, catching up with friends. I have to say, brunch with friends on the weekend is definitely the highlight of my weekend!

In the last few years now we have gained consciousness of the varied wants that people with psychological health points need to be able to obtain overall nicely-being. My IU Health helps you to self-schedule appointments with select suppliers, ship messages to your care workforce, view lab outcomes and pay a bill—online and on your time. On a really basic degree, train results in a healthy penis as a result of general health impacts penis health.
Health is a resource for on a regular basis life, not the objective of dwelling; it's a optimistic idea, emphasizing social and private assets, as well as physical capacities". In line with studies and research, social interactions play an necessary position in bettering mental and physical health.
Incorporating demonstrated profitable nutritional vitamins and minerals into the eating regimen and personal care merchandise generally is a highly effective strategy to enhance overall health, in addition to penis health. Stress-related illnesses akin to anxiousness and depression, as well as different health problems resembling stroke, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases may be diminished if individuals increase their connection to nature.
Its model therefore relies on a mixture of healthy and sick patients over time, Dayal said, noting that new facilities might take a number of years to turn out to be worthwhile. On a vegetarian weight loss program, weight loss shouldn't be imagined to be an issue.
Up to now occupational health services have been involved in the assessment of health to work and in assessing ranges of disability for insurance coverage functions for a few years. For individuals who wouldn't have jobs that require intense physical activity, exercise or increased physical exercise can enhance the number of calories burned.

Annnouncing the launch of the new style RAPID DRY garments for 2018/2019 season. New colours, new colour combinations and newly designed logo placement provides more range for the consumer and a more stylish design approach to in-water protection wear.
Rapid Dry is a lightweight, fast drying fabric in which the material is 'infused' and then 'heat set' with a water repellent treatment (WRT). This method achieves a finish that is vastly more effective at shedding water and lasts much longer than traditional fabric treatments. The Rapid Dry fabric is warmer than cotton and nylon/lycra synthetic fabrics when wet. It has an SPF50+ rating for full sun protection, is lightweight, breathable and durable as wellas being 100% chlorine resistant and far more resistant to UV, salt crystals and stretch wear than Lycra based fabrics.Read More Read Less

Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank Ltd. of Tokyo has reached an agreement with Gemtel Corp. of Los Angeles to provide financing for the reconstruction of the historic Huntington Hotel.
The amount of money the bank will provide was not disclosed. The cost of the project is estimated at $100 million.
Lary Mielke, head of Gemtel Corp., said demolition of the 82-year-old hotel's main building could begin this month.
The hotel project was the topic of a bitter referendum in 1987 in which historical preservationists fought to stop the demolition of the main building. The preservationists were defeated by a vote of 7,032 to 5,088.
The new 385-room hotel, located in Pasadena's Oak Knoll neighborhood, will be operated by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. and is expected to open in late 1990.

You don't even need to shell out a ton of money or put yourself in debt to learn how to code, either. These 12 places offer coding courses for free:
One of the most popular free places to learn coding is Codeacademy. In fact, more than 45 million people have already learned how to code through this educational company's engaging experience. At CodeAcademy, you can dive right in and take courses that teach you everything from HTML & CSS, JavaScript and SQL to Bash/Shell, Python, Ruby and C++.
Founded in 2012, Coursera has grown into a major for-profit educational-technology company that has offered more than 1,000 courses from 119 institutions. While you can pay for certain programs to receive a certificate, there are a number of free introductory programming courses in various specializations from universities such as the University of Washington, Stanford, the University of Toronto and Vanderbilt.
EdX is another leading online-learning platform that is open source instead of for-profit. It was founded by Harvard University and MIT in 2012, so you know that you'll learn about cutting-edge technologies and theories. Today, edX includes 53 schools. You probably can't go wrong with the free Introduction to Computer Science from Harvard University.
Founded in 2010, Udemy is an online learning platform that can be used as a way to improve or learn job skills. While there are courses you have to pay for, there are plenty of free programming courses, which are taught via video lessons, such as Programming for Entrepreneurs -- teaching Django- the #1 Python Frameworks, APIs, HTML, CSS, + Payments.
Sometimes, you need to recall a reference book when you're stuck on a problem. That's GitHub, where the site says, over 31 million developers collaborate to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together.
This is a community of developers, which include some high-profile developers such as Bram Cohen, the inventor of BitTorrent. Here, you can perfect your programming skills by learning from some of the leading developers in the world.
Created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan, Khan Academy is one of the original free online-learning institutions. With step-by-step video tutorials, you can learn how to program drawings, animations and games using JavaScript and ProcessingJS, or learn how to create webpages with HTML and CSS. See, especially, Khan's "Hour of Code," designed to introduce students to one hour of computer science and computer programming.
Here you'll learn HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Databases, React.js, Node.js, and others by networking and joining this nonprofit's community of professionals and students. You'll even work together on your coding skills so that you can build apps for free. Here's the catch: You're learning those skills and building helps to help solve real-world problems. Code is available to nonprofits.
This Google project for web developers launched in 2010 to counter Apple's HTML5. The site is full of tutorials, resources and the latest HTML5 updates. It's open source, so developers can play around with HTML5 code. Because this site's offerings are more advanced than most introductory courses, you'll need some knowledge and experience before jumping in.
Learning code used to require access to expensive books and classes, but no longer. It is highly recommend that every entrepreneur learn to code.

Thanks to the rapid development of computer technology, new opportunities appear for automated processing of colossal volumes of information. If in the time of Newton experiments allowed to get only 2-3 characteristics, then modern technologies allow to carry out thousands of measurements per second. Thanks to the success of modern electronics, not only the volume of measurements has grown, but also their accuracy. New opportunities and new perspectives have appeared. Modern computer technology is developing very rapidly, and soon the time will come when, from a conventional human-controlled tool, a computer will become a full-fledged partner and an intelligent assistant.
The launch of the rocket is accompanied by a tremendous noise. In this ocean of sounds, each mechanism has its own separate sound. And, the serviceable mechanism has one sound, and the faulty one is different. The film shows a very compact device that, by the sound of an upcoming rocket, can determine how each mechanism works individually. Although this is not a serial measuring device, you can clearly see how convenient and effective it is. A small computer processes thousands of audio signals in a fraction of a second, filters out extraneous noise and displays changes in acoustic characteristics in real time on the screen.
The method of spectral-statistical analysis can have applications in various types of measurements. It is possible to measure technological noises, detecting malfunctions by changing harmonics of the frequency spectrum of sound. You can analyze the voice of a person, revealing his emotions, the degree of fatigue or health. You can even explore music by determining the level of its emotional impact. Examples of the use of the demonstrator of a new device are clearly shown in this film.
As in the previous films, the demonstrator of the new method of spectral-statistical analysis is presented in this video. A small device in a few minutes listening to the archive recording of the song Frank Sinatra determined not only the emotions of an outstanding artist, but also the hidden meaning embedded in the melody. The film clearly shows the excellent prospects of the new method, using which you can conduct research not only on living objects, but also on the basis of archival audio or video recordings. Thanks to this method, we can reinterpret history in a new way by studying the available sound archives, or, analyzing the archive film, it is possible to find out the causes of an accident, for example, at the launch of a rocket.
The demonstrator shown in this film is much better than the classic polygraph (lie detector). To do this, you do not need to wrap up the wire with the web. Measurements can be carried out remotely, or even secretly. It is tempting to use such a polygraph at any meeting, revealing the authenticity of the information of your interlocutors, or you can analyze the honesty of any politician, analyzing his statements, for example, in a television interview. In the film, using simple examples, the effectiveness of the new method is shown and its excellent perspective in the future.
This video shows a unique transport device developed by our engineers. This superevdehod can drive on roads and rough terrain, fly through the air, swim in the water, and slide on snow and ice. The project of this aeromobile was created to participate in the competition of the Foundation for Advanced Studies, passed for the second round and was awarded for the best study of the original design. If we take into account that the Foundation for Advanced Studies is mainly engaged in military development, it is not difficult to guess why the development of our company has caused such interest.
For a while our enterprise carried out the development of rocket and space technology. At the same time we worked systematically. Our specialists did not just create a single rocket unit, but created a project for a whole range of missile development. This clip shows archive slides on this topic. In 2010-2015, a project of the "Kometa" launch vehicle was developed, which used a fundamentally new method of flight. Evidence has been obtained for inventions, the project has been repeatedly discussed at open and closed conferences, received a grand prize in the Skolkovo Foundation, was positively evaluated in the Defense Ministry and the Military Technical Cooperation Committee under the Government of Russia.

If you remember last summer, we embarked on a deck/ porch makeover.. it was a bit ridiculous. You can find those posts here and here. Once "monsoon season" finally subsided (seriously y'all… we have 28 out of 30 days of rain), I knew something was going to have to be done. We never even got to use the screened porch last year once it was done. We were ready.. but our porch was not. So I got to go SHOPPING FOR US! This doesn't happen often. I'm usually on the hunt for everyone else. This was going to be fun!
Brian wanted a metal glider like we have up at the family camp in the Adirondacks. It nearly seven feet long and those are kind of impossible to find (if you have a line on one, PLEASE let me know). I scoured the internet and found something close and in a set on Craigslist. It was yellow and shorter, but would have to do. Putting it out there helped a bit for seating, but it was kind of sad-looking….
Let's start with I despise that rug… ick. Brian bought in on a whim one day for the old house and it really couldn't be more boring. I wish he had bought one from BAZAAR VELVET instead! He was going with practical, but I don't understand why you can't have at least a bit attractive too? The pallet coffee table was Brian's idea too though and I think it is great. The perfect size and just works, (bonus that it makes me feel less guilty about my growing pallet collection and lack of time to make fun stuff out of them).
I was contacted by Stinger about testing their new bug zapper and with all the rain we have had and talk of mosquitos and the Zinka virus going on, I though this the perfect opportunity to venture on a mini porch makeover!
Home Goods just seemed like the perfect place to start, don't you think? I had so much fun wandering around and dreaming… I found this desk for a friend:
and discovered that chicken stuff is the rage this season:
I may have neglected to mention we now have 35 chickens, ducks, and guineas…. (heaven help me) Hopefully I will get to showing you the giant coop we built soon…
I did find a rug and shot a pic over to Brian (I love technology)
He approved (hooray). I used it to anchor the room and found some cushions and pillows at Home Goods. Shopping my own home, I picked up a few lanterns we'd used at the old house and a lamp I was going to sell at the shop (It needs a shade or something I realize, I'll find one eventually).
Putting it all together the porch now looks like this:
I find this SO much more inviting and sit here for hours in the quiet watching the silly chickens.
The lantern bug zapper is fabulous too. The "barn door" sliders aren't the most bug tight (Brian hates them) so the insects still manage to get in occasionally. Having this on the table is perfect at night and I love the peaceful violet glow.
It's rechargeable and has a light feature too so I can send the kids back into the yard to collect their shoes and clothes once they come in for the night. It's even attractive too so I can leave it out on the table and not have to hide in the corner or on a shelf.
I only wish I'd had it put together with our friends came over a few weeks ago… Oh well, next time, it's ready!
This is my new favorite place in the house- and it isn't even in the house. I know for a fact my next job will be another task on the exterior of the house, and that is hiring a marietta siding company in order to replace my siding! Its got a bit old and shabby now, so I can't wait for that to be next on the list!
(Stinger was kind enough to send me a lantern to try out and share with you, Home Goods and Craigslist have never heard of me)

What is Gray Divorce?
Recent studies show about half of all marriages end in divorce. It is a sobering statistic for anyone about to walk down the aisle. Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessarily the young who are getting the most divorces. More college educated couples are staying married overall. Instead, divorce is hitting an older generation and the term for the phenomenon is called gray divorce. Divorce is on the rise for "gray haired" couples. Divorce is becoming a popular life option for couples over the age of fifty. The term was coined for the couple who have been married for many years, raised a family, heading towards retirement and are now getting a divorce. The rates of divorce in this segment of the population keep ticking upward. Fifty years ago, only 2.8% of Americans over 50 were divorced, today about 15% of couples in this age group divorce. About one in every four divorces are occurring among couples over the age of fifty.
