When you want to lose weight, you need to do 2 things – plan diet and work out as per your body needs. While both may seem like daunting tasks, all you really need is to pay attention to your own body.
This post is about how to plan diet. For workout routines, check my posts below:
Top 4 Workout Routines You Can Try To Lose Weight
Top 4 Workout Routines For Your Workplace
Do the Groundwork
The best way to plan diet is to get started with a food diary. First jot down your current weight. Then start jotting down every thing you eat and drink. Yes, water too.
But don't stop living your life. Meaning, if you go out every Saturday night, go out every Saturday night. If you have lunch meeting at workplace, go ahead. Keep your diary handy and when you get a moment, jot down your food and drinks consumed. (Download an app on your phone if you're not a pen-paper person)
Plan Diet
Keep writing in your food diary for a few weeks and then jot down your weight again. Any changes? Good or bad, move on. Now look back from the beginning and try to look your eating-drinking pattern. Don't count calories. It takes the fun out of life, leaving one neurotic about calories. Don't go there.
Don't see enough raw veggies and fruits? Add it to your plan. Too much white food like bread, pasta, desserts? Plan it for a special day. Red meat too much? Cut it down. Too much alcohol? Chuck that habit. Less than 8 glasses of water? Add water. And so on. So, what do you see? (Send it to me if you don't see any red flags!)
Analyse and re-adjust your diet plan from data from your food diary. Keep a list of "bad foods" – stuff you would like to avoid, and "treats" – stuff you would have only to celebrate yourself. And don't lose your patience. You'll get the hang of it.
In Conclusion
I'm not a dietician or a personal trainer, but I have helped clients and friends lose weight by sharing tips and secrets from my experience as an Image Consultant, as well as my own struggle with weight. So if you have a question, or would like me to blog about something in particular, comment below, use the Contact Us page, or email here.

Partial Crowns, Inlays & Onlays
An inlay restoration is a custom made filling utilized to repair damage to the tooth's biting surface. Onlays are very similar to inlays with the exception that onlays are used when both the tooth's biting surface and one or more of the chewing cusps requires repair.
Inlays and onlays are used in teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma. They make suitable replacements for fractured older fillings, and have the added benefit of being a more conservative treatment approach than crowns because they don't require much of the tooth structure to be removed.
Inlays can be made of composite material, gold or porcelain. Porcelain is a popular choice because it can be closely matched to the shade of the tooth and is naturally translucent. Porcelain is also the preferred material when the broken or decayed part of the tooth is too large for a composite (white) filling. Bonded onto the remaining tooth structure, porcelain is stronger than composite material but still provides excellent aesthetics that are preferable to conventional silver fillings.
Porcelain inlays and onlays are highly durable and last much longer than conventional fillings. With proper care, porcelain inlays and onlays will last a long time, but as with most dental restorations they may someday require replacement.
Reasons for getting porcelain inlays or onlays:
- To repair broken, fractured or decayed teeth.
- To repair fractured fillings.
- For larger fillings.
- For cosmetic enhancement.
Two appointments are required for an inlay or onlay procedure. During your first visit, several impressions (molds) will be taken that will be used to create your custom inlay or onlay. A temporary restoration is placed for added protection until your next appointment.
During your second appointment your new custom inlay or onlay will be carefully fitted and cemented into place. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure the perfect fit.
At Paxton Dental Care we use the latest technology and finest materials to produce inlays and onlays that offer superior fit, function and aesthetics. We will provide instructions for the care of your new dental restoration. As with natural teeth, proper oral hygiene, good eating habits and regular dental visits will help maintain the life of your new restoration.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about inlays and onlays or to schedule a smile consultation.

You wake up on a cold morning and everything hurts…is it the temperature? And if it is…how can that make us hurt? Well, there's good news and bad news for this topic. A study by Tufts University found that drops in barometric pressure during winter – and thus reducing our oxygen consumption – can trigger arthritic pain, and cold temperatures can also cause joint fluid to thicken and work less efficiently. However there are other studies that have not been able to find these connections, which must mean your sore knee doesn't know what it's going on about.
Of course, being told your knee isn't sore because it's cold when it's cold and you have a sore knee isn't much help. Not all of us have access to a hyperbaric chamber or bottled oxygen to see if that'll improve the blood flow and reduce the pain of an aching joint – but most of us can at least do one thing when the temperature drops and the aches begin. We can move.
One of the big traps of cold weather is shutting the windows, turning on the heater and crawling under a doonah. It sure is comfortable, but it's also leaving your joints locked and immobile for extended periods of time. This lack of activity has been suggested as an underlying cause of winter joint pain – and a fast way of avoiding this kind of pain is to get out from under the doonah and go for a walk. That thickened joint fluid will warm up with activity and start lubricating the joints with some movement, so if it hurts to take a few steps, try taking a thousand and see if the pain persists. I'm not saying the pain will go away, but you never know until you give that winter exercise a chance to do its thing.

Italian Olympic Team Holds Moment of Silence for Israeli Victims of Munich Massacre
Italy honors massacre victims.

The Italian Olympic team held a moment of silence outside the quarters of the Israeli team in London. About 30 members of the team, staff and athletes, were present at the ceremony.
Arutz Sheva reported:
The Italian Olympic team at the London Olympic Games made a noble gesture Sunday and stood in silence outside the quarters of the Israeli team, in memory of the 11 athletes slain in the Munich Olympics 40 years ago, Voice of Israel radio reported Sunday.
About 30 Italians were present at the ceremony, including Italy's Minister of Sport, the heads of the Italian Olympic Committee and athletes. Israeli Olympic Committee head Tzvi Varshaviak and Olympic delegation leader Efraim Zinger also took part.
According to an unverified report on the internet, the pilot and crew of a British airliner headed for Israel Thursday did what the Olympics Committee refused to do, and observed a moment of silence in memory of the Israel athletes murdered in Munich in 1972.
The "USA Stands with Israel" Facebook page, with over 10,000 subscribers, reported that the heartwarming gesture was made by a pilot for EasyJet, on a flight headed from the firm's home base of Luton, England, to Tel Aviv.
NBC sportscaster Bob Costas led an improvised tribute to the Munich victims as the Israeli athletes walked into Olympic Stadium on Friday night.

As someone who didn't even start eating pizza until 2014, I'm not much of an authority on it. But I know enough to know that the majority of pre-made supermarket and takeaway pizzas are a bloody abomination with their overuse of sugary mass-produced tomato sauce and soggy bases. And Chicago-style deep dish pizza can fuck right off. Pizza should be thin, crisp at the crust and pliable and fluffy elsewhere, and never overloaded with toppings. I mean, if we were going proper Neapolitan here it ought to simply be fresh tomato sauce and buffalo mozzarella, but I'm not much of a traditionalist. I just am very particular with the base. So here's how it's done (trust me on this one, I've been taught by an Italian).
You will need…
660g '00′ grade plain flour*
4g dried active yeast
12g flaked sea salt
410ml water at room temperature
Your chosen toppings**
* Not optional – double zero flour is more finely milled than the stuff you'd use for a cake. This is the kind of flour you might make fresh pasta from, and will give your pizza base a far, far superior texture.
** My personal winning combo is homemade tomato sauce (below), chicken, chorizo, grilled artichoke hearts and grated mozzarella, with a sprinkling of pesto, shaved parmesan and watercress to finish. My dad favours a more meat-feast direction with tomato, red onion, chorizo, pepperoni and polish Kabano sausage. You do you.
Ok, so, pretty much just chuck all the base ingredients into a large bowl. Give it a stir with a spoon for a few moments just until it starts to come together, then you want to get right in there with floured hands and a floured surface. Knead the dough for a good 5-10 minutes to get the gluten in the flour going (this is what gives elasticity). Pop it back in the bowl and cover with cling film, then leave in a warm place to prove for 90 minutes to two hours. If your oven happens to have a dough proving mode, even better.
By this time, the dough will have pretty much doubled in volume. Punch the air out of it, and cut (or tear, whatever) into four equal sized pieces. Shape each piece into a ball by rolling into a rough ball shape, then using the palms of your hands, sort of stretching the top 'layer' of the ball around the outside and pinch together at the bottom. So you've sort of formed an outer skin on the dough ball, you feel me? Repeat for the other bases, dust with flour and wrap each individually in cling film. If you don't need all four in one go, you can freeze the others at this point. Now leave to prove for another hour, and wash your damn hands – this is a very sticky dough!
While the dough is on its second prove, get all your toppings ready, starting with the tomato sauce. No passata, no tomato puree, no fresh tomatoes. What you want is a tin of whole plum tomatoes. Remove them from the sauce in the tin, and just squeeeeze them through your fingers into a bowl for a rustic crushed texture. A small tin is plenty for two pizzas, a full-size tin is good for four. To the crushed tomatoes, add a pinch of sea salt, some dried oregano, a couple of cloves of crushed garlic and, if you like your heat, a bit of cayenne pepper. Any leftover tomato sauce can be used another night – just add some veg and Philadelphia, mascarpone or double cream for a creamy pasta sauce.
Then just chop/slice/grill/grate/otherwise prepare the rest of your junk and wait patiently for the dough to finish proving. Try to avoid any of it being thieved by dogs.
Now, it's stretching time! I don't bother with a rolling pin – hand stretching the dough is fun. Start by pushing down the ball into a more flattened glob with your fingertips, then pick it up and move it round in a circular motion on your knuckles, not your fingertips for this part as you're likely to pierce a hole in the dough. Gravity will do the work for you and your knuckles will help form a slightly raised crust at the edges. I've never managed a perfect circle, but hey, rustic. Obviously work to the size of the tray you will be cooking it on – we have round pizza trays but there's nothing stopping you from going for a rectangular pizza if you're just using a standard baking tray.
Make sure to spray your chosen tray with oil before plopping your base on it to prevent sticking. And now, top it! When it comes to the tomato sauce, less is more. It's quite concentrated so you get all the flavour, but using too much will cause horrific sogginess. You don't need more than about 2 level tablespoons for an 8-10″ pizza. Throw your other bits and pieces over the sauce, top with cheese and whack in your oven – which you've preheated as high as it will go, by the way – for about 10 minutes. But start checking after 8 – you want to rescue it when the cheese is golden and bubbling, but before the crust burns. I was a minute or two late with this one, but never mind..
All that's left to do is add any extras (my holy trinity: pesto, parmesan, watercress), crack open a beer and enjoy. Bellissima!

Tips for Moving to a Big City
Whether you're making a new home on the West Coast, along the Atlantic or somewhere in between, moving to a big city can be a scary experience. You may not have an abundance of friends or know all the best coffee shops in your new hometown, but that shouldn't deter you from taking the plunge.
After all, there are plenty of perks to living in a major metropolis, from more job opportunities to a rich culture that's continuously transforming to expose you to new and exciting things. And with these tips for moving and settling into your new home, the transition may be a little less overwhelming:
Pare Down Your Belongings
Television shows like "Friends" are downright misleading: Unless they're paying serious loot for a place, people moving to the big city for the first time should not expect their apartments to be as big as Monica's.
In cities on both coasts, the micro-apartment trend is making huge waves as the amount of available space dwindles with each newcomer. While shopping around is key to finding the most space for the best price, don't let lofty expectations get the best of you: Start preparing in advance for cozier living.
Those with a lot of belongings may want to consider reducing their personal inventory– doing so will make your new apartment feel more spacious and make moving a much easier task. Selling your unnecessary items (who really needs two waffle irons, anyhow?) is also a great way to pare down your belongings while earning some extra cash for the big move.
It may seem like a disappointment at first, but once you get used to less spacious living quarters, you'll soon become a pro at making the most out of less space. You might even find a whole new appreciation for clutter-free living.
Know the Parking Rules
If you're making your way to New York, Chicago or another metropolis with a reliable public transit system, sell your car beforehand. When you find yourself in need of four wheels, turn to services such as Zipcar or ridesharing, which are much cheaper than the costs of maintaining your own vehicle.
However, if you absolutely must have a car for your new big city life, make sure you're in the know when it comes to parking regulations. If you fail to get the right parking sticker, you'll very quickly accumulate an overwhelming abundance of those neon-colored tickets. The parking rules can vary from street to street, so make sure you check with your landlord in advance to avoid pricey fines.
Study the Public Transit System
Depending on where you choose to move, public transit might just end up becoming your best friend. Even if you own a car, you'll quickly learn that taking the bus or train downtown and to certain other parts of the city is faster and much less hassle, not to mention it can save you tons of money in parking garage fees.
You'll want to download your city's public transit app for your phone, but keep in mind that batteries die, reception fails and other misfortunes will leave you without Internet on the go. So you should have at least a working knowledge of the bus and train system.
Budget for the Actual Cost of Living
Life in the big city can be a lot pricier than you might expect, so you'll want to create weekly, monthly and annual budgets with that in mind. You may know in advance how much you have to allot for rent and other set expenses, but many necessities vary depending on what part of the city you live in.
Before you move, reach out to friends, family, and Internet dwellers living in your future neighborhood for a realistic idea of how much you'll need for groceries, gas, and entertainment. You should also keep in mind that a large city offers more opportunities to spend money— there are theaters, pubs, museums, and plenty of other sites you'll want to see.
Find the Freebies
While some things will be more expensive, a little digging around will reveal a whole new world of fun stuff that doesn't cost a dime.
Many city museums open their doors to the public for admission-free days, public parks host free concerts, and zoos often don't charge an entry fee at all.
Carry Some Cash
Your first instinct may be to avoid carrying cold hard dollar bills with you when navigating a big city.
However, having a little on-hand can prove to be very helpful: You'll need a few notes for an afternoon snack from the hotdog stand or some dough for that impromptu bus ride.
Start Your Day Earlier
Whether you're driving or taking public transit, traffic and congestion on the streets and sidewalks of a big city means you're going to need a little more time to get where you're going.
As you become more familiar with your new hometown and learn shortcuts, you'll be able to cut down transit time. But as a newcomer, give yourself plenty of time to learn the ropes.
Be Social
Making new friends in a busy city can be difficult, especially in places where people rarely make eye contact with strangers let alone say hello in passing. So it's important to get over your fear of rejection, get out there and try to meet new people.
Join an organization where you might meet new people with similar interests. For example, sign up for a softball team, attend a yoga studio or volunteer at a homeless shelter. Head to your neighborhood pub and challenge someone to a friendly game of pool, or bake your neighbor a plate of cookies for a reason to stop by and say hello.

Of course one of the main attractions will be not only the expo itself, but also the multiple Star Wars props, costumes, models and artwork that will set the theme to the visitor in his or her adventure. Among other displays, people will have the chance to see the infamous Darth Vader costume, the Millennium Falcon model and Anakin Skywalker's full size Pod Racer.
This is already looking like a solid exhibition for anybody looking for some Jedi inspiration, whether you're a die-hard Star Wars fan, a sci-fi aficionado or simply enjoyed the movies.

Big Six Shift to E-Originals Places Authors – And Editors – in Jeopardy Part 2
In the first part of this article I described a fundamental shift under way in the book industry from original paperbacks to original e-books – "e-originals" in Publisher Speak – and its depressing effect on author compensation. These deals point to sharp reductions in advances and royalties and acceleration of the flight of authors from traditional to self-publication.
Impact of E-Originals on Publishers
The impact of the shift on publishers themselves is less quantifiable. It is, however, potentially far more devastating.
You can define publishers in many ways but their unique claim and strong attraction for authors is that they distribute printed books in brick and mortar stores. By forsaking the very element that defines and distinguishes them, however, publishers are at risk of becoming unmoored from the comfortable physical terrain of the book business and floating up like a balloon into the unfamiliar and turbulent stratosphere of Cloud publishing.
I say "unfamiliar" terrain. Though legacy publishers have adapted admirably to the challenge of digital publishing, few who work in the industry them have truly grasped the stupendous upheavals that come with full commitment to all-digital publishing, and who can blame them for being in denial? The truth is that a purely digital book industry is nowhere near as dependent on people, places and things as the traditional one.
An Author, A Reader, A Server
Boiled down to its essence, publishing can be defined simply as an author, a reader and a server. The e-book publishers that have sprouted up in the last decade have shed many of the extra trappings that characterize traditional publishers. Pure e-book companies travel light and fast and can turn on a dime because they are not burdened by the complex support structure and personnel that characterize the old regime. In order to become a purely e-book operation, a conventional publisher would have to release most of its staff and move to far smaller quarters, for many tasks performed by ten in the old business, such as sales, distribution, art direction and royalty processing can be performed by one or two in the new one.
Though this eventuality is far off there are already signs that publishers are facing this relentless, disintermediated future and scaling down to meet the challenge. But the havoc wreaked on their brand and identities if they go 100% digital could be very, very dear. Today it's easy to distinguish Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins or Macmillan from Rosetta, Open Road or E-Reads. Tomorrow it may not be.
For these reasons it would be wise for publishers to pause and reflect before setting foot on the slippery slope of e-originals.

Inauguration of Le Lapérouse
Inauguration of Le Lapérouse
Inauguration of Le Lapérouse, the very first vessel in the PONANT EXPLORERS series
PONANT, celebrated the inauguration of Le Lapérouse, on July 10th, in the presence of Mrs. François Pinault, the godmother of the ship.
An inauguration with Celtic undertones
Le Lapérouse was christened by the godmother, Mrs. François Pinault, in the presence of prominent political and cultural figures, international media and key partners. During a vibrant Breton-inspired ceremony - a nod to the origins of PONANT which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year - the Lann Bihoué Bagad's bagpipes, Breton oboes and drums powerfully reverberated. Breton singer Bleuwenn Mevel gave an emotional acapella rendition of the Breton anthem while the poignant sound of Konan Mevel's (from famous Breton band Tri Yann) bagpipe resonated at the prow of the ship as she was sailing off. Another highlight of the day involved Le Lapérouse being greeted as she was sailing from Hafnarfjörður by Le Soléal, another Ponant ship, also positioned in Icelandic waters.
Guests on board discovered the Blue Eye, a multi-sensorial underwater lounge located in the hull below sea level, designed in collaboration with Jacques Rougerie, an architect and member of the prestigious Académie Française.
In this exceptional space, through the two portholes made in the shape of a cetacean eye, the passengers watched French free diving champion, Aurore Asso's aquatic ballet. With integrated digital screens projecting the live images captured by three underwater cameras, entirely non-intrusive underwater projectors allowing the observation of the sea world without any risk for the ocean life, the Blue Eye also offers a unique sound experience. Captured by hydrophones, the natural symphony of the oceanic world is piped into the lounge and can be felt through the "Body Listening" sofas that vibrates discreetly by corporal resonance.

Cavities are often the unfortunate result of poor oral hygiene. Once one forms, the natural bacteria living in your mouth will gradually encourage it to spread.
With timely treatment at Jeffrey V. Jones, DDS, a small cavity can be repaired by an amalgam or composite resin filling. If the cavity has compromised a large area of tooth enamel, the tooth might not have enough viable surface area for the filling to adhere to.
To effectively treat a tooth in this condition, Dr. Jeff Jones might suggest a dental crown restoration.
This is a two-stage treatment that starts with a thorough examination of the tooth in question. It's important to make sure that no new cavities have developed. Dr. Jeff Jones will then remove the tooth enamel, leaving behind a small post-like structure called an abutment. This will eventually anchor your new crown.
An impression will then be cast of the abutment and the surrounding teeth before covering it with a temporary crown. The impression will be sent to a dental lab to serve as a guide while the technicians prepare the dental crown in Dallas, Texas.
You will need to come in for the second stage of the treatment when your new crown is ready. The temporary crown will be removed and your new crown will be cemented into place.
If you have a tooth suffering from a large cavity, you should call 214-824-2130 to seek treatment at Dr. Jeff Jones's clinic.

1. Sadie is exactly the color of the fallen oak leaves.
2. I bought a rosemary plant because I love the smell when you pass your hand over the leaves. I don't like the taste of rosemary much. The plant has developed mildew and harbors bugs, so I probably wouldn't use it for cooking anyway.
3. I think the downside of the internet is that it allows misinformation to be disseminated so easily.
4. Christmas trees have started going to market this week.
5. It is difficult to see the forest for the trees here.

7. Why can I have a fire in the fireplace, but cannot burn these piles of leaves? Remember that wonderful smell?

Presidential Authority
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionMy volunteer organization operates off of a written constitution and bylaw book. I have a question which breaks down into several parts, all around the authority of the President. Our books clearly outline the responsibilities and duties of all officers and members. We have stipulations for membership which directly relate to benefits after a certain time period, basically if you do your duties for the required amount of time you'll have less requirements after 7 years and then again after 10 years. Should you not perform your required duties, you suffer a loss of credited time which will need to be made up before being able to have less responsibilities. At our last meeting, our President basically wiped the time clean for those members who owe time going back to 2014. There is nothing in our books that state this is permissible. I'm looking for some specifics from RROR that I can cite at our next meeting and not simply "They can't do that" answers. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
President Authority
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionGood afternoon, Our chapter president dictates tasks and other policies on a regular basis. I know the presiding officer has the right to set procedures for expedition of meetings, but our president is setting procedures that are contrary to our bylaws and, what I believe to be, RONR. She states that it is within her authority to do so. Additionally, she states that other officers and chairs are subordinate to her and that if we disagree or don't do as we say we are being insubordinate. What authority does a chapter president/presiding officer have over members, officers, and chairs? Thanks!
President Gone Rogue
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionSo our president has gone rogue. He claims to know that only the board as a whole has the authority to make decisions, but he's not living it and is seeking to dictate to the entire board "how things are going to be." Is there anything in Robert's Rules that speaks to the "limits" of a president's so-called power? As well, our bylaws do read that directors are elected for "a three-year term or until the director's successor is elected." I understand that to mean that the general membership has the ability/power to remove a director at a duly called meeting for any reason (or no reason). Is this correct? If that is correct (and if so, I surely hope it doesn't come to that, since it would cause division in the organization), what is the proper procedure for doing that at a meeting? Does one just stand up during a lull and say, "I move to remove Mr X. from the position of president"? Does notice need to be given? Should the president be made aware that this is coming?
Clarification of Authority
Jane posted a topic in General DiscussionI am seeking clarification regarding the "Authority" section of our by laws. They read as follows... Except as in herein otherwise specifically provided, the decision of the Board in all Associations matters shall be final, subject only to an appeal to the Association. The Board shall have general control over all officers and committees and may, for good cause, declare an office vacant. it shall constitute a Board of Appeal form the rulings of all officers and actions of committees. Appeal may be taken from any decision of the Bard to the Association. On such appeal the decision appealed from shall be reversed only by two-thirds vote of the members present, at the regular meeting specified by the Board, a quorum being present, notice of such appeal having been given by the secretary to all members of the Association at least fifteen (15) days previous to such meeting. Does this mean that any Board decision can be challenged by filing an appeal? At the regular meeting where the appeal is to be discussed/voted on, can it be reversed based on the vote of any qualifying association members, and not just the Board? Providing the other criteria mentioned above have been met. Thank you.
Committee reports given to the Board
Louise posted a topic in General DiscussionAnother committee/board question. If a committee that has been formed by the board submits a report to the board, is the board obligated to either accept the reports recommendations OR refer it back to the committee for more work? If the board refers the report back to the committee, can/should the board make recommendations as to the types of changes/work that it (the board) would like to see? Alternatively, can the board receive the report and proceed to change it as needed without referring it back to the committee that produced it?
Special Committee out of control
Louise posted a topic in General DiscussionOur organization has a Special Committee whose chairperson has started to run amok. She seems to believe that the general membership has granted her committee (particularly its chair) to do whatever it pleases, even if it runs counter to what the general membership and/or the board of directors has dictated. She is even drafting and distributing minutes that contain her version of what happened at the most recent meeting of this particular Special Committee, even though most of it is entirely imaginary (although coincidentally enough, these minutes refelct her own desires exactly). If the bylaws state that the Board is responsible for Special Committees and is the body who in practical terms appointed this person as chair (as there was no motion to that effect ever made at the general membership level...although neither was their such a motion made at the Board level...sigh...), can the Board simply remove this person from the committee? Is this a Chapter XX situation? (Please tell me it isn't.)
Committee Member Removal
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionIt appears as though a committee member has been consulting with non board members and other members, not previously approved by board at the time the committee was assigned with the task of seeking resolution. Committee members were only approved to discuss topic of resolution with attorney as a committee. This particular member has not only contacted attorney on behalf of committee without informing other committee members, but also contacted non board affiliated members while claiming to act on behalf of the board. Further, this committee member has contacted only one party (in a two party member dispute) to inform them of the "claimed" actions of the board. Thus, the question is: Under Roberts Rules of Order, Does the president, who appoints committee members, have the authority to remove, replace or reassign a committee member?
Authority of Corporate Secretary
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionAs Corporate Secretary (and an Officer) of my Association I am wondering what my authority is when it comes to internal operational issues is in the absence of the President. I understand that I primarily have the role to report to the Board but there is a situation that happened recently that I am concerned with. Without having a hierarchy (decision making power) spelled out out on paper the management team is at a loss when it comes to making decisions in the absence of the President. There has been a serious safety issue in the office and when the President is not here it is unclear who has the power to make decisions that affect the employees and Association. This issue is something that has to be dealt with immediately and cannot wait until the President is back in the office. There is a CFO and management team in-house. It doesn't seem that the CFO wants to use his authority and I feel a certain sense of responsibility, do I have any authority here? Can you help with some clarification? Thank you!
Board acting outside authority
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionHow does one deal with a question posed for a vote that the board has no authority to vote on? Our board has attempted to resolve on an issue in conflict with rules determined by another department with greater authority.
Authority of chairman
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionWe have a board of six members that changes every four years. in 2003, that Board adopted a resolution that prohibited personnel actions relating to certain officers without first having discussions at one meeting and then voting at the next meeting. In November 2011, the Board voted to take personnel action to terminate an officer without following the 2003 resolution. The 2003 resolution was not rescinded before the termination action was taken. Four months later, a new chairman of a new board declares the action taken in November null and void because the 2003 resolution was not followed or rescinded. He unilaterally reinstates the officer. Does Chairman have such authority or must the decision to declare action null and void and reinstate officer be put to a vote? Did the voting without following the 2003 resolution make the action terminating officer void? Proper procedures regarding voting in November were followed.

Cheesy sausage biscuits are a grab 'n go favorite when you need breakfast in a hurry. Tender, fluffy biscuits are topped with breakfast sausage and lots of shredded cheese. Slice 'em and fill with scrambled eggs for a great breakfast sandwich, too.
Happy weekend, gang! I hope this post finds you sitting in your happy place doing something you absolutely love to be doing. If you're not there yet, get comfy and start. Life's too short to be doing anything less than that!
I've decided to start a new weekend trend of highlighting some of my favorite food products (edible and otherwise). One week I might profess my love for a certain brand of creamy peanut butter and the next I could be highlighting my favorite stand mixer, or telling you all about how awesome the customer service team is at Festival Foods (and it IS fantastic!) If you've got favorite foods and/or cooking equipment that you think I should take a gander at, send me a note via my contact form and I'll see if I locate it locally for review purposes.
I think it's fun experimenting with new brands, and who knows, you might have something awesome in your kitchen that should be sitting in my kitchen too! Please bear in mind that none of these posts will be sponsored. In other words, I'm not getting paid to say anything good, bad, or indifferent about them. I just think they're products that you might enjoy as much as I do. Okie dokie? Let's get started!
This week, I'm highlighting my very favorite baking pan. It helped me to create these cheesy sausage biscuits!
They look yummi, am I right?! Aside from the fact that they've got ooey gooey cheese and crumbled pork sausage on the top, there's a light buttery homemade biscuit holding that combo together. Fat grams and calories? Well… YES, there are plenty to go around in these little heaven-sent cheese and sausage biscuits. However, I made these for Brian to take to his co-workers for their Friday breakfast pig out.
What kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't make something fully loaded with artery choking ingredients? What's that? I'd be reasonable? Umm… hello. Do I know you? Rather, do you know me at ALL? OK, let's move on.
It's entirely possible to make these cheese and sausage biscuits a little bit more heart smart. Just use turkey sausage and some low-fat or low-carb biscuits and some low-fat cheese. In this particular case, I said NO to the LOW and I'm not ashamed. They're perfectly portioned…as long as you can stop at one or two.
Now let's talk about the adorable square shape of these biscuits. This was made possible only because of my this awesome brownie pan. I'm not really sure why they call it a brownie pan, because in all honesty, I think I've only made 2 batches of brownies in it. I use this pan for all sorts of things!
Mini lasagnas, blueberry cream cheese streusel cakes, mini meatloaves (which are the perfect size for making meatloaf sandwiches, by the way), and now these biscuits.
There's really not much to complain about where this pan is concerned. Except maybe for the fact that the 12 wells could be just a tiny bit deeper. They're not as deep as the wells of a cupcake pan…they're about three-fourths of the depth of a standard size cupcake.
I've used it for layered recipes without a problem, but it makes for a tight squeeze when you're trying to stuff Snickers bars between layers of cookie dough. Oh, I didn't mention that recipe, did I? It's coming! Make this recipe for cheese and sausage biscuits first and let me know what you think. It doesn't get much easier peasier than 3 ingredients and 12 minutes in the oven! Oh, and if you don't want to use canned refrigerated biscuit dough, use my recipe for homemade Bisquick!
I hope you love these cheesy sausage biscuits!
Have an awesome weekend!
Cheesy Sausage Biscuits
- 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (I used Pillsbury Grands), or you can make your own biscuit dough
- 1/2 pound ground Italian pork sausage
- 1 cup cheddar (or your favorite variety) cheese, shredded
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place a paper liner into the bottom of each well, or lightly spray wells with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium sized frying pan over medium high heat, cook the pork sausage until it has browned and no pink remains; Drain grease and set pork aside to cool.
- Using kitchen shears or a knife, cut each piece of biscuit dough in half. Use your fingers to press a piece of dough evenly across the bottom of each well of the pan.
- Place pan into oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and use your fingers to press the partially baked dough down into the pan; USE CAUTION! The dough will be hot!
- Sprinkle cooked sausage evenly over the top of each biscuit; Repeat with shredded cheese; Place pan back into oven and cook for 7-9 minutes, or until cheese has melted and biscuits are lightly browned.
- Remove pan from oven and allow biscuits to cool in pan for 1-2 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve while still warm.

What can one say about the Zemeckis/Spielberg collaboration but quite simply – brilliant. The combination detective noir story, slightly adult humour, crazy toon characters from both Warner & Disney's vaults (a one-off which is unlikely to ever repeat) and overall technical wizardy yielded a film which set a precedent.
Oh sure family film classics such as "Bedknobs & Broomsticks" and "Mary Poppins" had live-action and animation combined together many years beforehand, but all did it for only a small sequence and with certain limitations. 'Roger' on the other hand combined real life settings with toon creations which weren't just chirping birds or cameos, but major performances. As we come into the CG age we're seeing people and computer-drawn major characters interacting with each other – most notably the "Star Wars" prequels but none of them have the charm or depth on display here.
I guess that's due to Zemeckis. The director has proven a smart and talented filmmaker who knows that story comes first, and technical gimmickry should help to serve it – not be its support crux. That's why 'Roger' even 15 years on is still a very impressive piece of work because even without the element of 'toon/real life' people interacting its still an interesting plotline.
For all intents and purposes its a 40's detective noir story set in a smog-free Los Angeles with sex, sin and murder on the plate – indeed there's some dark stuff in this from an animated shoe being melted (I know it sounds silly but as a kid it freaked me out) to innuendo galore which'll go right over the littlies heads but which older audiences will immediately get and smile at.
Performances are excellent across the board – Bob Hoskins is at his career best, Christopher Lloyd seems to be having a ball as an almost Indiana Jones-esque villain, Kathleen Turner's stunning voice lends itself to big-busted seductress Jessica, and of course shoutouts must go to the likes of Charles Fleischer and the other voice actors who bring Roger, Benny, Baby Herman, and the Weasels to life. Everything in this is pretty much at the top of its game and while it struggles to find a tone to stick too, swapping from gun-crazed and complicated murder plots to sentimental almost kiddish humour/songs and back again, it still stands out as a masterpiece of hard work and talent which also happens to be damn good fun.

Everything needs to be in order when you're
buying or purchase commercial real estate.
Regardless of how talented or educated you might be in this arena, it is possible that you lack knowledge in a certain aspect of the field. The tips on commercial real estate in this article will open your eyes.
Before purchasing any property, investigate the economics of the neighborhood such as unemployment rates, unemployment rate and whether or not that area is growing.
Properties near hospitals, and it will sell more quickly. Don't jump into any investment opportunity without doing the proper amount of research. You may soon regret it if you are not fulfill your real estate goals.
It could be a year for the right investment to materialize in your market. You can't be too informed about the subject, so never stop looking for ways to obtain more information!
Location is just as important factor in choosing a commercial real estate as it is with residential properties. Think over the neighborhood your property is located in. Also look into growth of other similar areas.
You want to know that the area will still be decent
and growing 10 years from now.
Commercial real estate involves more complicated and time intensive than buying a residential home is. You should understand that although this is a huge undertaking, you have to be diligent in order to get a profit.
When you have to decide between two commercial properties, think big. Generally, this is the same situation as if you were buying something in bulk, the lower the price per unit.
When interviewing potential brokers, find out the amount of experience they have dealing with commercial properties. Make sure they are experts in the desired area in which you are selling or it could be an endeavor wasted.
You should be sure to enter into an exclusive agreement that is exclusive. You also want to take into consideration the surrounding neighborhood that your real estate is in when you may be interested in.
However, if your products or services correspond to a specific social category, you probably want to purchase property in a less wealthy area. Don't ever assume you've finished learning about the commercial real estate market.
Remember that you can always learn new things. You will get better if you look for more resources and apply what you learn. Use this information wisely, and profit.

Fourth ship in this superb series loyal to the PONANT spirit, Le Lyrial like her sisterships embodies the subtle alliance between luxury, intimacy and wellbeing which is PONANT's signature. The elegance of her exterior and interior lines and her intimate size (only 122 staterooms and suites) make this a rare and innovative yacht on the cruise market.
Interior Design
We have been inspired by the destinations we visit and decided to create a subtle variation around a palette of blues. Ranging from the luminous delicate grey-blue of the Polar ice to splashes of the vivid turquoise blue found in Mediterranean coves, it also includes the blue light of the future pole star.
Port of call & excursions
AthensEmbarkation 04/07/2017 from 16H30 to 17H30 . Departure 04/07/2017 at 18H30 .
The Greek capital city is located on the edge of the Saronic gulf, in the east of the country. It bears a plural name in reference to the first villages that surround the Acropolis. You will be enchanted by the rocky plateau presided by its monuments listed as UNESCO World Heritage. In the city below, you can visit some of the liveliest districts in Athens: Plaka, with its maze of colourful streets, and where, in the evenings the drifting aroma of moussaka and garlic prawns will tickle your taste buds. The National Archaeological museum and the Cycladic Art Museum are also some of the city's key attractions and allow visitors to discover Athens' cultural past.
5 July 2017 – HydraArrival 05/07/2017 early morning. Departure 05/07/2017 midday.
This unusual gem belonging to the Saronic islands is located to the east of the Peloponnese. There are no cars here. Named after the island, the harbour town is layered up the slopes of a mountainous bay. You may be surprised to see beautiful stone mansions. These are traditional here, as are the multi-coloured caïques along the quays. Further along the shore, you will discover the Historical Archives Museum. Collections from Athens National History Museum are exhibited in the elegant villa Koundouriotis.
5 July 2017 – Crossing the Corinth CanalArrival 05/07/2017. Departure 05/07/2017.
The Corinth Canal cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth, turning the Peloponnese into an island as it separates the region from the Greek mainland. Inaugurated in 1893, the canal is a little over six kilometres long and enables merchant vessels and passenger to avoid a long 400-km detour around the peninsula. The two sides of the canal reach a height of approximately fifty metres. From the exterior decks, don't miss this unique opportunity to watch the ship as it navigates along the narrow strip of water encased between tall, ochre cliffs. What an experience!
6 July 2017 – PargaArrival 06/07/2017 early morning. Departure 06/07/2017 early afternoon.
An ancient port in the Epirus region, picturesque Parga is located on the western coast of the Greek mainland. Ancient classical ruins and the Venetian citadel bear witness to the town's colourful history and the diverse influences that shaped it. Take the time to discover this ancient fishing village built like an amphitheatre, by strolling along the picturesque maze of pedestrian streets lined with small, typical Greek houses decorated with flowers and many lively taverns.
7 July 2017 – Sailing the Straight of KotorArrival 07/07/2017. Departure 07/07/2017.
The long walls of the fortified city of Kotor unfurl before your eyes as you admire this medieval construction enclosed between the sea and the rugged cliffs from the decks of your ship. The still, deep waters of the bay plus the clouds of mist floating here and there create a surreal and magical atmosphere. Small islands with churches and fortresses built on them remind us that a proud maritime people has lived here for centuries, in this bay that forms a perfect natural harbour, used by sailors since ancient times. At the crossroads of Latin and Byzantine cultures, you will have the pleasure of observing the natural treasures of Montenegro during an unforgettable journey.
7 July 2017 – DubrovnikArrival 07/07/2017 midday. Departure 07/07/2017.
Emblem of the Dalmatian coast, Dubrovnik is magnificently positioned on a rocky spur. History is sovereign here, in this ancient city, now a listed UNESCO World Heritage site. You will perhaps be surprised by the proportions of La Placa, the central drag through the city. The sheer width of it can be explained by the fact that it straddles a former lagoon. The elegant houses along La Placa are built in the legendary travertine stone. At Pile gate, you will be greeted by the statue of the patron saint of Dubrovnik, and you can admire the coastline as you walk along the ramparts. But what's inside Fort Saint John, adjoining the outer walls? A maritime museum and an aquarium featuring rare fish from the Adriatic.
8 July 2017 – MljetArrival 08/07/2017 early morning. Departure 08/07/2017 midday.
Discover Mljet Island off the Pelješac peninsula. Known for its national park and its protected forests, this Croatian splendid, pristine island offers many opportunities for walking with bays linked to two salt water lakes. On the largest lake, Veliko Jezero, a small island is home to an old Benedictine monastery.
8 July 2017 – KorkulaArrival 08/07/2017 early afternoon. Departure 08/07/2017 early evening.
This harbour town has a very special location, presiding on a spur on the north-eastern coast of the island of Korçula. The ramparts in its medieval district provide perfect vantage points over the Pelješac peninsula. To get there, you can take the monumental staircase in the Revelin Tower. Another way is to climb the steps in the shade of palm trees from the MorskaVrata (Marine portal). As you make your way through the little streets, you'll see the bell-tower of Saint-Mark's cathedral rise above you. This landmark will help you locate the house where Marco Polo was born. The island also has some of its own famous wines like the red Plavac and the white Posip.
9 July 2017 – HvarArrival 09/07/2017 early morning. Departure 09/07/2017 midday.
Off the coast of Split, Hvar will surprise you by its traditions that haven't changed since Antiquity. The country's oldest town, Stari Grad, is here on this Dalmatian Island. The town nestles by a cove on the north-west coast, surrounded by dry stone wall structures on the Stari Grad plains. These have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site because they were built in the time of the Ancient Greeks. From these parcels of land come wines and olive oil manufactured manually. In the upper part of town, it is possible to discover hams and cheeses made by local producers. The picturesque village of Vrisnik is also a good place to try some of local produce.
10 July 2017 – OpatijaArrival 10/07/2017 early morning. Departure 10/07/2017 early evening.
This elegant Istrian seaside location evokes an atmosphere of olden day holiday charm. The Opatija coastline is scattered with castels and layered gardens on hillsides which you can admire during a walk on the Lungomare. On this coastal path, famous for its panoramic terraces, and built in the early 20th century, you will find the Maiden with a seagull, a graceful statue embodying life on the water's edge. Further along the shoreline, you will notice the Saint-James Abbey which gives its name to the town "opatija", meaning "abbey" in Croatian.
VeniceDisembarkation 11/07/2017 at 07H00 .
Proud and eternal, Venice has reigned on its lagoon ever since the 6th century. You may think you know this city before even setting foot here. You will inevitably fall in love with the charm of the innumerable treasures of the Serenissima: Saint Mark's square, the basilica, Doges palace, the Grand Canal and the gondolas. Yet, secret Venice is also waiting for you to explore its little interlacing streets and canals, to ramble through its squares and to push open the doors of its churches. The city's extraordinary heritage shouldn't stop you from enjoying a glass of Spritz and a few tramezzini.
