In modern times, New Year's resolutions are goals for the coming year.
However, the New Year tradition dates back over 4,000 years, and was actually about reflecting on the prior year. Put simply, it was about looking back, as opposed to looking forward, and using that momentum to improve.
There's a lot of empowerment in using the New Year to look back. After all, through the good times and the tough times of the past year, we made it!
It's via this enlightened lens that New Year's serves as an especially poignant annual milestone for those of us living with disability, illness or any adversity. We made it!

Green Chutney is indispensable in Indian cuisine, be it for parathas,snacks, starters or chats. It is made in numerous ways depending on one's taste and preferences. Mint, coriander and green chillis are the mandatory ingredients combined with garlic, sometimes onion or tomato.
I have already posted another method of making Green Chutney where Mint and Coriander are used in equal quantities and ground with chillis and other spices.
This chutney uses only coriander leaves with one tomato added to bring some tanginess. These type of raw chutneys stores well in fridge for 2 to 3 days after which you can freeze them. Sometimes when I have a large batch of coriander I make this and freeze in one time portions. So any day you make some snacks or chats , I quickly thaw one of them and use it.
- 1 1/2 cup tightly packed coriander leaves
- 1 tomato
- 3 Green Chillis
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 small piece Ginger
- salt as needed
- a pinch of sugar
- 1 tsp Chaat Masala
- 1 tsp Roasted Cumin Powder
- Blitz together Chillis, tomato , ginger and garlic first.
- Then add washed fresh coriander leaves , salt, and other spices and grind to a smooth chutney consistency. Add little water if needed when grinding.
- Thats it !
- Adjust green chillis and garlic as per taste.
- You can replace tomato with curd too for the tanginess.
- Serve with any starters or snacks of your choice. For more chutney and snacks recipe refer HERE
With Love,

POLITICS: Thoughts on Reagan
I can't presume here to sum up Ronald Reagan's legacy; I'd suggest you head on over to the National Review, which is heading into saturation-coverage mode, and properly so. I'll offer a few disjointed thoughts; for tonight, two snippets:
*Reagan, from his speech on the 40th anniversary of D-Day:
*I think I've mentioned this before . . . my career in radio was extremely short, a few months of doing news updates on campus radio in my freshman year of college, in the fall of 1989. But the one highlight: I got to go on the air and announce that the Berlin Wall had come down. It hardly mattered if nobody was listening. After all those years and all those people saying it was just another system, the good guys won, the oppressed got freedom - and Reagan was vindicated. I can only hope we will live to see such victory again.

I've always enjoyed your blog. As both a baseball nut and a 25-year old Republican, I have agreed with almost everything you've written, no matter the subject.
The first post I read of yours was your "study" of sabermetrics and Conservatives (http://baseballcrank.com/archives/000276.php) and I have always agreed. The thing that bothers me now is the the thread over at Baseball Primer about Reagan's passing.
I always thought Conservatives and sabermatricians took the facts and stats above all, hence the similarities. Yet a majority of the blogging community is taking a dump on a man who just died not 48 hours ago. I'm stumped...
Keep up the great work.
RIP Ronnie.Posted by: Joe at June 6, 2004 8:56 PM

Weight Watchers
I have been waiting for life to calm down a bit since I started working but I think that it may never happen. :( I guess I am just going to have to adjust to the craziness and move forward. I just need to figure out how to do it. I'm trying a little bit at a time. I'm glad that I am losing even if it is slowly but of course I wish it would come off a little quicker. I know I could try harder but I am the type of person that loses all motivation when I am tired. Unfortunately that seems to be the way I feel every night after work.
I'm not sure if feeling this tired is normal for getting up early, working all day and then coming home to all of the fun cooking, cleaning and sports or if it is my Fibromyalgia acting up. I haven't worked outside that home in over three years. Back then I only had one child and it was so easy to go to work and still fit everything else in without getting tired. Now it just seems impossible.
I guess there isn't anything I can do about it either way. I have to work and I refuse to take any medicine for my Fybromyalgia. If you are wondering why click here and you can read all about it. I am praying it gets better really soon and that I regain some of my energy.
I want to lose this extra weight so bad. It's such a horrible feeling knowing that I could feel so much better. It's all so fresh in my mind. The way I felt a year ago when I weighed 25 pounds less. I also remember how easy it was to by clothes. I want all of that back.
I hope the more I want it the more likely I am to make it happen because right now I want it so bad!

Great job for your sister. And you also. Just keep trying. You will get there :)

Jessica, I've been stuck around the same place as you are - maybe we could help one another/encourage one another?? For me it's a mental battle to just get out of the 90's! THAT will be a great occasion to celebrate, 189 lbs!
I find waiting for life to calm down doesn't work for me either - we just seem to go from event to event! Even though I do enjoy a bit of ho-hum-ness (new word? LOL), it does get boring, so I guess I just need to enjoy the busyness while we've got it!
Have a great weekend!

I'm a working mom, too, Jessica. It is exhausting to work all day and then come at night to all the work that needs to be done at home. Recently, my husband and I started splitting duties. I was taking on all the housework, etc., and I couldn't keep up with it. Now I leave him a note every day with the things I need him to do, and he does everything and does a great job of it. It has helped my sanity tremendously.

It is hard to fit everything into your day. I don't even have kids and have a hard time. I have been doing WW since June and have found that if I plan, plan and then plan some more I have good success. I work full-time and am so wiped out by the end of the day to even think about going to the gym. I find that walking on my lunch break really helps to get my exercise in. I shoot for 3 days a week. I could probably do 5 if I had a walking buddy : ) You can do it!

All The Places That California Residents Can Shop
Topic: California Promdress Link
Growing Income and Population Bring More Shopping Choices to Central San Joaquin Valley
Shopping and Dining in the Central San Joaquin Valley or Greater Fresno-Clovis Area Becomes Easier
The saying goes like this. If you build it, they will come. But we will say that if you give residents of the Fresno-Clovis areas enough reasons to shop, they will come. In fact, shoppers from the Valley have been going to places such as Santa Barbara and San Francisco or the Bay Area to shop. The taste for high-end stores has been growing for a long time. The internal migration and relocation of shoppers and loyal consumers from Orange County, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area who are used to shopping at these upscale stores also helped a great deal the frenzy building seen everywhere around here. Of course, this is not new to the number crunchers, financial managers of all the stores visited by residents of Central California. They have known for a long time that shoppers from specific zip codes come to their stores. But the volume starts going up, it was time to pay attention to the Greater Fresno-Clovis Area shopping bloc.
Right now, for these retailers that have set up shop around here first, there is lots of benefit to reap. We decided to go shopping to see for ourselves. What is new always attracts more people. Who was not there at the opening of the first Cheesecake Factory in Fresno? My best friend and I decided to hop from new shops to new restaurants in one week-end. We soon found out that the list was too long to cover in one week-end. Since that time, we have been able to divide our time between shopping at new stores and eating at new dining establishments.
To get started, we decided to go from the Fig Garden Village, Fashion Fair Mall, the Shops at River Park, Villagio Shopping Center and the spreading shopping centers on Herndon near Clovis and Champlain and Perrin by the Woodward Park areas. The Fig Garden Village which Donahue Schriber bought from LandValue Management has always had a lot of high-end retail shops frequented by most socialites of Fresno, Clovis and surrounding communities. Among many others, it will soon have Banana Republic which sells upscale clothes, accessories and shoes. J. Jill is scheduled to be there. J. Jill is known for its catalog business. It carries women's clothing that is typically aimed at affluent women between age 35 and older. Coach will open in June. It is known mostly for its high-end purses, luggage, wallets and accessories. One thing that became clear is that location is what sells real estate. The Fig Garden Village has a large group of various banking institutions, retail businesses, restaurants such as La Boulangerie, stores such as Whole Foods and the Fig Garden Village bookstore. No matter how appealing the atmosphere was there, we had to keep up with our plans. So we got into our cars and headed out on Shaw towards Fashion Fair Mall, owned by the Macerich Co. which also owns more than 100 shopping centers from Carmel Plaza in Carmel and all the way to Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento. Then, you have other high-end stores such as Chico's Talbots and Patrick James which have been doing good business here.

The Gokyo Lakes lies at the leader of the Dudh Kosi Valley and gives an astounding contrasting option to the exemplary Everest Base Camp trek. The trek is particularly great on the off chance that you have somewhat more time staring you in the face as it takes in every one of the highlights of the exemplary Everest trek with the special reward of seeing the lovely Gokyo Lakes!
The trek itself is significantly more quiet than the EBC trek as there are a great deal less trekkers on the course. Another special reward of the trek is that it is a round trek in which there is no backtracking like you find on the great EBC trek.
The highlight of this trek is the climb of Gokyo Ri. Remaining at more than 5000m, the perspectives from the summit are essentially amazing. The pinnacles of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu can be seen! The view is frequently viewed as one of the best in Nepal and it is anything but difficult to perceive any reason why. Moving to the summit toward the evening is a delightful time as you will see nightfall over the glinting Gokyo Lakes.
The trek starts in Lukla after your flight from Kathmandu. For the initial three days, the trail takes after the conventional Everest Base Cam trek agenda for the initial three days up to Namchee Bazaar. Soon after Namchee the trail veers off toward the North-west by means of the towns of Dole and Machemo, and afterward onto the stunningly lovely Goyko Lakes. You then rise Goyko Ri (5,357 meters) and crosses Cho La Pass (5,420 meters) before signing up again with the great Everest Base Camp trek at Lobuche.
Best time
The best circumstances to this Gokyo Lakes is either from March to May or from late September to late November. Like the exemplary Everest Base Camp trek, the pinnacle time frame is October and November, when climate is generally steady and perceivability amazing. In the prior, pre-rainstorm period from March to May, there is exquisite spring development however conditions change somewhat more

During the campaign and even before it, Trump forcefully derided U.S. military involvement in the Middle East, repeatedly saying the war in Iraq was a disastrous mistake and that he would focus on "America first." And he wasn't afraid to appear cold in the face of the refugee crisis and suffering in Syria; it was a problem for the Middle East to solve, and no refugees would be admitted into the United States for fear of admitting terrorists. He even suggested military action could lead to another world war.
"Now wants to start a shooting war in Syria in conflict with a nuclear armed Russia that could very well lead to World War III," Trump said just days before the 2016 election.
Trump also in 2013 derided the specific idea of retaliating against the Syrian government for using chemical weapons, repeatedly urging President Barack Obama not to involve the United States in the civil war, despite Obama's "red line" policy. Trump also said that, if Obama did decide to strike, he should seek Congress's approval.
AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA - IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013
President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your "powder" for another (and more important) day!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 7, 2013
The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2013
Let the Arab League take care of Syria. Why are these rich Arab countries not paying us for the tremendous cost of such an attack?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2013
The events of Thursday night run completely counter to all of that. Trump is reported to have been personally affected by the scenes of suffering and the information he has learned now that he's president — "Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack," he said late Thursday night in brief remarks, adding: "No child of God should ever suffer such horror" — but the barbarism and horror were there in 2013. Yet Trump took a firm line against intervention for years.
It may seem trivial to focus on Trump's past words in the light of the suffering in Syria and the realities of actually being president. But the fact is that the United States elected a man who promised to use force in a very circumspect manner and spoke unequivocally about it.
And it's likely that the noninterventionist promises Trump made during the campaign helped him by allaying some of the greatest fears about making him president and commander in chief. Arguably his biggest liability was that people — even many supporters — believed he lacked the proper temperament to be president. The prospect of the hotheaded, itchy-Twitter-fingered reality TV star having access to the nuclear codes was an attack ad that practically wrote itself. And there were plenty who argued that his noninterventionist talk was just that -- talk -- and that he couldn't be trusted to deal with international conflicts.
But Trump's promises to stay out of the Middle East and focus on the homeland mitigated that line of attack. Voters were led to believe his foreign policy wouldn't be on the same hair trigger that everything else about him seemed to be, and it gave them license to instead focus on what a businessman president could do for the economy.
Yet here we are. Less than three months into his presidency, Trump has now responded to a not-unprecedented set of circumstances in Syria with an unprecedented degree of force and provocation.

The Anticipatory Woodshed
My husband is obsessed with logs. We are currently in the process of fitting one of those carbon-neutral multi-fuel stoves in our living room, and he has gone completely bonkers for all things wood. When we were away on my birthday trip last weekend, we were smack in the middle of one of the many large forestlands of Scotland, and every time we passed one that was currently being harvested and/or replanted, I swear I saw him starting to twitch as he muttered under his breath about all of the logs lying about, just begging to become a member of his wood pile (they have to stay there. They are there to promote undergrowth for the next batch of trees). Anyway, this photograph was taken in the woodshed that he built in our back garden, before we even started to fit the stove. I'm calling it the anticipatory woodshed.
Right, clothes. I feel like a lot of the things I'm drawn to can sometimes be quite stuffy. Something like this sleeveless cashmere cable knit sweater is lovely and luxurious, but quite buttoned-down when worn with something that is its equal in luxuriousness and refinement. So I paired it with this skirt. I remember seeing this skirt at the beginning of the season when it was £50, and liking it, but certainly not at that price. Last week I found it on sale for £15. It's basically denim in the back with a faux leather panel in front. Tough, comfy, durable, and most importantly for me, stain proof. Have all the red wine or marinara you want, you can Windex this baby clean! Which will come in handy when we have some actual logs in this woodshed.

Year of the Gazelle
Opening a brewpub in India seemed like a relatively simple idea to Matt and Rene Greff.
The co-founders of
Arbor Brewing Co
in downtown Ann Arbor and
Corner Brewery
in Ypsilanti had nearly two decades of experience in brewing craft beer and running a brewpub. Starting and running a business is nothing new to them. Doing the same with a franchise in India shouldn't be too different. Or so they thought. That was four years and a huge life experience ago.
"The start-up was much harder than we ever thought it was going to be," Rene Greff says. "The buildup to make it happen took forever."
Gaurav Sikka, a University of Michigan student and former Arbor Brewing Co patron, approached the Greffs in 2009 about opening a franchise of their brewpub in India in 2009. Two years later, the Indian city of Bangalore legalized craft breweries and the three partners were working toward opening one of its first brewpubs.
The Greffs expected they would only need to be there a few months to help get the brewpub up and running to Arbor Brewing Co's standards. In a 16-month period, they ended up spending nine months in-country. A majority of that time was dedicated to getting the doors open by December, 2012.
ABC India
, as they like to refer to Arbor Brewing Co's Indian franchise, wasn't serving its own beer until the following February, which meant sparse business in the meantime.
"We would have days where we might have three tables come in all day long," Rene Greff says. Matt Greff adds, "And that is a 12,000-square-foot space so it felt like a morgue. We can laugh about it now, but our partner likes to say 'I never had one day with no customers at all.'"
The reason they can laugh now is when cold Arbor Brewing Co brews started flowing then the customers came even faster. The Greffs say ABC India is now one of the most popular bars in Bangalore, drawing crowds comparable to the local Hard Rock Cafe.
"Thank goodness, it was literally like flipping the switch when we started serving our own beer," Matt Greff says. "It became absolutely insanely busy ever since."
The Struggle
The problems didn't magically go away with open doors. If anything the real struggle began as cultures clashed between Arbor Brewing Co and mainstream India when business started to pickup.
Arbor Brewing Co is a reflection of the Greffs' values. The married couple from Ypsilanti are two of the more progressive business owners in southeastern Michigan. They emphasize environmental sustainability in their business practices and paying their employees with living wages and good benefits. That business philosophy flies in the face of conventional wisdom in India.
"Indian labor is so cheap that the business model is you throw a bunch of people at it," Rene Greff says.
For instance, waiting on tables isn't as easy as one person taking an order and bringing out food and drinks.
"There are four different people who come up to your table," Rene Greff says. "It's always a disaster. It's a game of telephone in different languages."
And those four people occupy different areas of the local pecking order. And most of those people don't speak English because service work is appropriate for only certain parts of the caste system. And then there are the gender-based societal rules, such as women aren't allowed to tend bar or even be out after dark with an escort. Add in that most call-center workers with language skill are women, and, well...
"The service is very different," Rene Greff says. "We have definitely had to make some concessions and accept that because of cultural differences some things are just - I wouldn't say impossible but very difficult to duplicate."
Then there is the larger societal view in India of looking down upon service work. Where working at a bar or restaurant is sort of a right of passage for young people in the U.S., that's not the case for the up-and-coming educated class in India.
"That's not what people do there at all," says
Rajeev Batra
, a professor of marketing at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. "The people who do those sorts of service jobs are seen as inferior, a sort of a servant class."
And then there are the differences in the average work week. While western culture embraces the 40-hour work week, it's fairly typical for Indian workers to sign a one-month contract to work 10-hour shifts, six days a week. Compounding that even further is that there is normally a lunch rush and then a huge dinner rush between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Local laws mandate that bars need to be closed no later than 11:30 p.m. The Greffs have been lobbying to let the service workers do fewer hours so they can work a more Americanized 40-45 hour work week.
"That's a big thing we're working on with our partner but it's a really difficult cultural change to make," Matt Greff says.
But this sort of insistence on business culture isn't just about personal morals. The Greffs see it as competitive advantage as more and more brewpubs open in India and the market becomes saturated with craft beer.
"We believe that American-style service is going to be the thing that continues to set us apart from other brewpubs," Matt Greff says. "That's going to be a work in progress and it's going to be a long, frustrating battle. But we want to figure out the right number of hours and a different style of pay structure to make waiting on tables an attractive job like it is in the U.S."
The Reward
Changing any culture is never easy, if even possible sometimes. The Greffs are open to giving it a try because the reward is ground-floor access to what has turned into a huge, untapped market.
There are two brewpubs serving the 9 million people in Bangalore. Of that population, there are about 100,000 Indians who have studied in the west or are ex-patriots. The Greffs estimate there are about 500,000 to 800,000 Indians with disposable income. Since Bangalore is one of the continent's main business centers, doubling that number thanks to business travelers and tourists isn't out of the question.
"There is already demand," Rene Greff says. "Most of our customers are western-educated Indians and ex-pats. There are people who have already discovered good beer and are dying for it in India. It's not like we have to teach people how to appreciate good beer. It's already there."
And disposable income isn't necessarily in short supply to the upper classes.
"There is a lot of money," Batra says. "People are looking for aspects of lifestyle that remind them of western civilization (and they are willing to pay for it)."
And that market demonstrated its thirst for Arbor Brewing Co's beers right away. It took less than two weeks after the debut of their beers to go from a handful of patrons to consistently hitting capacity of 300 people during lunch and dinner rushes.
"The opportunity is much bigger than I ever thought it would be when Gaurav (Sikka, the Greffs' partner in India) first contacted us in 2009," Matt Greff says. "We thought it would be a niche, boutique concept, and we'll appeal to ex-pats. Being there as much as we have been there and having as much success as we've had we know it is a big, big number of Indians and ex-pats with a lot of money to throw around looking for new, exciting, fun things to do. Any kind of American concept is really wildly popular."
So much so that the Greffs are returning to India in January to evaluate more business opportunities with Sikka. They are looking at opening new brewpubs not just in Bangalore but elsewhere in India.
"We're not sure which direction we're going to go," Matt Greff says.

Globe Pequot Press COO Jim Joseph, who assumed Scott Watrous's duties after his departure last month as president and publisher, has been officially named president. The 11-year company veteran said that he intends to concentrate on GPP's core strengths. The Guilford, Conn.-based press is a leading publisher of outdoor recreation and travel.
"It's an honor to take the lead in this great organization, and to refocus it on the core businesses that we are known for and that continue to differentiate us from our competitors," said Joseph, who has already begun to make his mark on staffing. He promoted Lawrence Dorfman to v-p of sales. Dorfman, who left GPP in 2005 for a position at Abrams, returned to the company earlier this year as executive director of national accounts.
As part of the refocusing, 14 people were laid off across various departments at the beginning of August and the company is scaling back its list. It will publish 375 titles in 2010, down from 450 in 2009.

Investments plunge into Telangana
Investments are pouring into Telangana with many industrialists are coming forward to invest in the state on knowing its industrial policy which is hassle and corruption free. The state has a single window policy as it does not drive entrepreneurs to knock door of several departments for approval.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao handed over phase-2 TS-IPASS letters of approval to 19 units (list enclosed). The units will come-up in Rangareddy, Mahaboobnagar, Medak and Warangal districts with a total investment of Rs. 1087.37 Crores and would provide employment for 5321 persons.
The units include among others Pharmaceutical formulations, manufacture of helicopter cabin kits, steel and iron alloy castings, footwear accessories and cell phones. One Spanish Company CHEMO which is a global Pharma company has also received approval letter today. CMDs, CEOs, Chairmen etc. of these units received approval letters from the Honourable Chief Minister.
While handing over approval letters the CM interacted with each and every recipient and enquired details of their units. CM also had a group photograph with all of them. He told them to get in touch with CMO chasing cell in-charge and additional principal secretary to CM Smt. Shanti Kumari if they encounter any problem.
It may be recalled that while releasing the Industrial Policy CM promised that all clearances to the investors will be given within 10 days of their applications. Accordingly phase-1 of the approval letters were given last month on 23rd and these are phase-2 approval letters.
Japanese delegation discusses business with Telangana minister
A Japanese Delegation led by Yasuo Takamatsu from Takuma CO., LTD, which in an energy and environment company along with Masaya Kawamoto of Takuma and Yasuo Kano of CBM CO., Ltd. Japan and Venkat Gandhi director of Synoverge, Japan, called on Jupally Krishna Rao, Minister for Industries, Textiles, Sugar and Handlooms.
They explained Takuma is one of the oldest established Broiler Companies with expertise to end solid waste. They are specialist in converting waste from industries, municipal etc to energy and disposal converted to fly ash which is only 5% of the total waste that can be used in construction and road lying.
It is the No. One company in incineration and has presence in Europe and Asia. It need not have a place for dumping and can be constructed in the middle of the city and has almost zero percentage of pollution emission; they have developed means to reduce the release of dioxins and helped a viable technology which is applied to waste incineration throughout Japan to this day.
They have 353 MSW incineration plants throughout Japan. They work on Takuma's original grate technology. A plant of 1000 tonnes waste management costs around 150-200 million dollars.
They have requested the government to help to set up the plant by the government or as a joint venture and informed that it would take around 2-2 1/2 years to construct the plant and get it operational. The Minister was impressed and felt that it would be of great help given the present scenario of garbage disposal and felt that this would help in Swacch Telangana and would bring down the pollution levels and also the stink that emanates from it as this Japanese model does not emanate smell.
He spoke to TS Genco officials and Municipal Administration authorities and put them on to the concerned officials for further action and felt that this partnership would help in enhancing Brand Telangana and also achieve lower pollution levels both in Municipalities and Industries.

The world's top magician, Greek-American Criss Angel, chatted with Markos Papadatos about "The Supernaturalists," his latest show that he created, directed and produced.
He shared that his mother, Dimitra, and his entire family are doing well. "Everybody is great and they are excited. They are coming to see the premiere. We are going to have a wonderful time," he said.
This past January, Angel performed four shows at The Paramount on Long Island as part of "Mindfreak Live" and it garnered a stellar review from Digital Journal, which dubbed him as a "masterful" entertainer. "Honestly, the 'Mindfreak' and 'Believe' shows are great, but 'The Supernaturalists' show is even better, as far as the magic goes. I literally directed my ass off, and I believe it is my best work to date. This goes way beyond any other ensemble show out there. This show is complete revolutionary, and there is something that goes beyond the magic that is so much deeper than just trick after trick after trick," he said.
He added, "My goal is to be at the top. To get there is a lot easier than to remain at the top. For me, it's about remaining relevant, reinventing myself, and being No. 1 for as long as I choose to be No. 1, and it takes a lot of hard work."
Each day, Angel is motivated simply by his "love for creating" and his "love for working with talented people." "God has blessed me so much with my career, and with the abundance of success that I have been able to have. For me, happiness is trying to give back and to give talented people the opportunity, and let their talent shine and let their star rise. If I can be a small part of that by giving them the platform to do it, then it's a beautiful thing. It makes me happy," he said.
The esteemed Greek-American magician revealed that physically, he is in good spirits. "I am in great physical health and I haven't had a chance to think of anything else but work, work, work," he said.
"I am grateful for all the love and support that I receive from the fans," he said. "I try to create pieces of entertainment that I think they will appreciate and enjoy. I hope they get the opportunity to experience my latest creation, 'The Supernaturalists'."
His definition of the word success is "happiness in life." "If I am happy, then I am successful. Money and fame do not equate to success. It's the things that you can't buy in life that make you successful. It's all about love, health and happiness," he concluded.

This place was very cool, but so crazy expensive. A pair of socks were 100 euros. 100 euros! Are you kidding? Granted all their stuff was very high quality, but just ridiculously priced. I didn't even risk the canteen.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique says that "information which comes out in the media is not even 25 percent reliable" but most remain convinced that there is some truth in reports – emanating from Croatian outlet Jutarnji List – that Ivan Rakitic is on his way out of the Spanish club after he failed to figure in their last three La Liga games; he didn't even make the squad for Sunday's 1-1 with Villarreal.
His price is said to be £42m and his destination is said to be Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola seeking a replacement for the injured Ilkay Gundogan. Do they not realise that Fabian Delph made it as far as the bench on Friday night?
Here we go again…yet another club is linked with Memphis Depay, with the catch as always being that they want him on loan rather than paying £20m-plus for a player who has done the square root of bugger all over the last 18 months.
It's The Sun Online who are making this latest claim and they throw in the scrap of gossip that Matteo Darmian is wanted by Juventus and Benfica man Nelson Semedo may replace him. Apparently this means that 'January is set to be a busy month at the Theatre of Dreams'.
With Chelsea taking back Nathan Ake, Bournemouth are – according to the Mail at least – looking for a replacement defender who is comfortable on the ball and have found themselves looking at a list of Liverpool players (they did sign Jordon Ibe and Brad Smith from Liverpool, remember) and found the names of Mamadou Sakho and Joe Gomez.
Liverpool would prefer to sell the former and lose all of his £80,000-a-week wages – Southampton, Galatasaray and Sevilla are said to be interested – but Gomez could be an excellent shout; he needs games that he is unlikely to get at Liverpool this season.
New Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce will focus on strengthening his attacking options when he talks through his January transfer plans with chairman Steve Parish…Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen on signing Swansea striker Fernando Llorente – and Blues striker Michy Batshuayi could be going the other way…Swansea City have been linked with Bayern Munich and Germany defender Holger Badstuber…West Ham are in talks to sell their Algeria winger Sofiane Feghouli to Italian side Roma…Watford may enter the race to sign Nottingham Forest's ex-England Under-21 midfielder Henri Lansbury…Middlesbrough's former England striker David Nugent, 31, is set to join Derby in a £3m deal.

Dungannon & District Motorcycle Club
The Dungannon and District Motorcycle Club was formed in 1922, in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, and held a number of "bike runs", an athletic sports day and supported their local racers in its year of inception.
In the club's second year, they held a successful hill climb on the Coalisland Road/Oaks Road from the Old Engine Bridge (close to the present site of the Tyrone Crystal factory) to Workhouse Corner (presently the roundabout adjacent to South Tyrone Hospital).
Run in heats, the eventual winner was JW Shaw (Belfast) on a 3.5HP Norton, with Johnston Hill winning the Club event.
On the back of this event, the Club decided to run a 100-mile road race the following year. When the Club applied to the County Council for permission to hold the race on 30 July 1924, the matter had not been added to the agenda and had to wait until the following meeting of the County Council for the matter to be raised.
The date had to be changed to 20 August (a Wednesday, no road races were run at weekend in those times, but on the town's traditional "early closing day"), and the event was run on a circuit starting at the Tyrone Sanitorium gates (now the gates to Drumglass Lodge and Sperrinview School on the Coalisland Road), heading into Dungannon town, turning past the Workhouse, heading in the direction of Cookstown, turning right at Tullyodonnell Crossroads towards Newmills, turning right again at Carland Meetinghouse and back onto the Coalisland Road at the Old Engine Bridge.
Torrential rain fell during the entire race, 19 laps of the 5.4-mile circuit, which had attracted spectators from both sides of the border, with, according to the Tyrone Courier at the time, "the high bank along the Sanitorium grounds [providing] a fine vantage point to view the race."
Eventual winner of the race was localman Johnston Hill on a 500cc Douglas (fourth in the 70-mile Cookstown road race three months previously), second was TJ Gilmore (Belfast) on a Dot-Bradshaw, third was R Carson (Cookstown) AJS.
In 1925, the Club held a reliability trial. The 34-mile course ran from Dungannon, through Coalisland, Stewartstown, Coagh, Moneymore,Cookstown and back to Dungannon. The "schedule speed was set at 20mph with observed test hills en route."
Top three finishers where J Shanks (AJS), Freddie Fairbairn (AJS) and J Rutherford (Raleigh).
The second Dungannon 100 was run on 1 July 1925 in superb weather and had "become to be recognised as one of the principal [races] of the season", according to the Tyrone Courier's report. The road race in neighbouring Cookstown was not held over a hundred miles until 1930.
The circuit was the same as the previous year, and, of the twenty-nine starters, it was SG Reynolds (Cookstown) on board an AJS that won, with Herbert Chambers (Belfast), AJS, second and F Donaghy (Dungannon) third on a Cotton, so favourably handicapped that he led the race until the penultimate lap.
Fairbairn and D Clancey were the only club members to finish the race (seventh and eighth respectively), as Hill and Shanks were unable to start and Capt TE Oliver, who set the fastest lap at Cookstown the following week, failed to finish for the second year in succession.
Reynolds set the fastest lap of the day, and received the JC Holland Cup and £15 for the race win. Chambers lost his life later that year in an accident during sand races on Portmarnock Strand in County Dublin.
In July 1925, Freddie Fairbairn was fourth in the Irish End to End Mizzen Head, Cork to Fair Head, Antrim Reliability Trial, and received an ovation from locals as he passed through Dungannon on the journey.
The third Dungannon 100, held on 7 July 1926 in good weather, had only five non-starters from a field of 41, with ten of them completing all 19 laps. One of them was FD Boydell, an Englishman, on a 172 Francis-Barnett, who was race-leader at the half-way mark, and eventually finished ninth.
Hill, winner of the inaugural race, was leading on the 16th lap when Fred Cupples, on board a 498 AJS, attempted an overtaking manoeuvre that took both riders out of the race.
The previous winner, Reynolds, had "persistent plug troubles" and "failed to get prominently in the picture", while Capt Oliver, who won the Over-500cc rate at the Ulster Grand Prix later that year, had been doing well but retired on his ninth lap.
The fastest time of the day went to Belfast rider Tommy Stewart on a 344 Enfield, but lost out due to handicapping to Ballynahinch man JS Corbett (347 Matchless) and WJ Mills (490 Norton), Benburb. Dubliner Gordon Burney, who broke a chain on the first lap, was recorded as saying he'd prefer to do two Isle of Man TTs in one day than one Dungannon 100, such was the condition of the roads.
6 July 1927 saw the last Dungannon 100 road race. It had moved to a much faster circuit comprising Bush Road from Dungannon to Bush onto Laghey Corner, Killyman and back, and was marred by an accident involving James Gibson (Belfast) that led to his death from his injuries two days later.
The race was won by Captain TE Oliver (Coalisland) on a 574 Scott, with JW Shaw (Belfast) in second place, who also set the fastest race time and fastest lap of the day. Eight of the twenty-four starters completed the 17-lap race.
J Douglas (Bush), was the second rider despatched on handicap and it was not until the 14th lap that Captain Oliver took the lead from him. The Bush rider, on board a 348 AJS, finished fifth.
The club was revived in August 2005, and immediately set about starting a road race in Bush, Dungannon. The event was called "Bush Road Races" and was held 23/24 June 2006.

By Directorate of Communication and Public Affairs, U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety CenterMay 27, 2014
The Army will begin its annual observance of National Safety Month June 1, and senior leaders are encouraging Soldiers, civilian employees and their Family members to use the time to focus on mitigating summertime risks.
Off-duty Army accidents and fatalities typically rise during late spring and early summer as compared to other times of year, according to data from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center.
"Safety is obviously a year-round imperative, but National Safety Month is a great opportunity for leaders to highlight common seasonal hazards," said Brig. Gen. Timothy J. Edens, director of Army Safety and commanding general, USACR/Safety Center. "This is especially important as we're beginning summer, which generally offers greater access to off-duty activities and the risks that come with them."
While accidental fatalities remain down Army-wide thus far in fiscal 2014, both motorcycle and personnel injury-other deaths are up compared to last year's numbers. Increases in water-related fatalities and falls are largely responsible for the PI-O trend, Edens said.
"Accidental drownings and falls while climbing or hiking are good examples of the kinds of risk we're trying to get at with summer safety awareness," he explained. "Those are activities unique to warmer weather. Very few Soldiers are swimming or hiking in the mountains with snow on the ground."
The same concept applies to motorcycle safety, and with winter just ending in much of the United States, leaders are concerned this could be a difficult and deadly riding season.
"NCOs must ensure their riders are trained to standard, up to date on their training and licensing requirements, and equipped to ride as safely as possible this summer, because skills will be rusty," said Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond Chandler. "The standards don't fall by the wayside just because a Soldier is off duty. Leaders have to take care of their Soldiers 24/7, and sometimes that means spending a little extra time and effort to make sure they're doing things the right way."
Chandler said leaders should also be holding one another accountable regarding standards compliance.
"We've got an issue when NCOs make up half or more of the Army's motorcycle fatalities, as they have the past several years," he said. "If leaders aren't taking care of themselves, they probably aren't taking care of their Soldiers. It's time leaders start looking out for one another too."
The USACR/Safety Center will release a multimedia campaign in support of National Safety Month June 1 at https://safety.army.mil.

I'm back to share a few more cards made with the December Studio Calico card kit Park Ave and the add-on sets.
This card is made with papers from the main card kit and the Banana Valentines Stamp set. I embossed the sentiment and monkey with brown embossing powder.
I pierced around the circle die cut so I could stitched around it with the purple twine in the kit.
This card uses papers form the main kit as well as the Dots & Stripes pad. I stamped the elephant from Celebrate Animal Stamp set and cut it out with the matching dies.
I created a little canopy with a scallop border die and striped paper. I thought it was reminiscent of a circus tent and complimented the little elephant.
I stamped out all the animals from the Celebrate Animal Stamp + Die set in various colors of ink and used them to decorate the large paper bags included in the main card kit. I used Versafine ink for my sentiment for a nice crisp impression.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Addition to Classification Post
For those that have taken the time to read the "Classifications, you say! What's up with that?" post, I've added a paragraph that should help some of those that are still struggling to grasp this topic.
This is the paragraph that was added:
"After receiving quite a few e-mail messages about lavender, as an herb, and how chefs use this as an ingredient, I felt it important to add a little further clarity to this topic. Therefore, when it comes to federal regulations/company policies and procedures/and any other type of regulations governing "marketing/labeling" — it is important to separate you, as an individual, from you, as someone who is marketing/selling/representing a specific company. Young Living, as its own individual company that is bottling and labeling a product for the public, must decide, due to federal regulations, how each of its products are to be classified and used by the public. Because of the way in which the regulations are structured, a product cannot be classified as both cosmetic and dietary supplement. Therefore, Young Living has to select which one it will market its own specific product under, so that the claims made and directions for use for that specific product match its classification. As Young Living Representatives, we have to market that product only under its classification and directions for use. This is why it is so important to separate yourself from you as an individual to you as someone who markets for a specific company."

Eh up. Well done lad tha's shown some commonsense. The lad I am referring to is Huddersfield Town manager Chris Powell.
When the weather turned a bit parky on Saturday with a biting wind, rain, sleet and hail getting up your kilt - fairly normal for Huddersfield - Mr Powell had the sense to cover his head with a good old flat cap.
Managers don't seem too keen on headgear apart from Tony Pulis at West Brom, who wears a baseball cap with the peak curled in.
The last flat cap hero I can recall on the touchline was that great little character and former England star, the late Alan Ball.
Perhaps wary of what happened to poor Steve McLaren when he appeared at Wembley with England using a brolly and never lived it down, managers seem to prefer getting their hair wet.
Chris might be seeking Yorkshire nationality and a whippet is next but he used the cap in the right manner with it twisted firmly on his head.
Let's face it, we try and protect our houses with roofing felt, why not our heads?
I remember a gnarled old uncle complaining at the price of a pound for a flat cap.
He'd worked in textiles and remarked bitterly: 'It's nobbut a piece end.'
Piece end or not, Town should get these fashion items in the club shop and make them popular.
At least Chris Powell's team were suitably inspired and gained a good win over Watford with Joel Lynch scoring with the type of bicycle kick defenders usually only dream about.
As Burnley manager Sean Dyche remarked when his man Scott Arfield scored a belter against QPR, 'If Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) had scored that it would have been shown 1,000 times on TV this weekend.'
So that's about 996 more for Lynch's goal to be shown.
Rugby league clubs are wasting no time returning to action with 13 pre-season games this weekend, making sure it's an all-year round sport.
It was pleasing to see an attendance of more than 1,300 on a rotten day for Dewsbury winger Austin Buchanan's testimonial game against Salford and says much for player ands fans.
In these days when most sign for a season and then move on, it's great to see someone staying 10 years and supporters appreciate that, after all it's not been all beer and skittles.
Dewsbury Moor's finest Sam Burgess scored his first senior try in rugby union for Bath and took man of the match against Wasps. He's slowly earning respect from the critics but shouldn't be rushed into the England squad.
Also wearing headgear at the weekend was Liverpool's Raheem Sterling, who sent a picture of himself wearing a coloured hat and mirrored sun glasses on a beach in Jamaica, having been sent there by his club after working hard of late.
I suppose a lot of employers do that, I bet Joel Lynch is already packed.

Barcodes Deliver Love for Mom
Barcodes Replace Stamps
Not much has changed since Hallmark began printing Mother's Day cards in the early 1920s. With the exception of say, voice-recorded messages, greetings cards themselves have remained a constant, untouched by decades of technological progress. This year, however, Hallmark has implemented barcode technology to make sending Mom love a little simpler.
Mother's Day is the third-largest card-sending holiday in the United States; 139 million cards are exchanged annually and this year some of those come with a barcode. New for Mother's Day 2011, Hallmark is offering Postage-Paid Greetings — a line of cards that come with a barcoded envelope that take the place of postage.
"Mother's Day is an opportunity to pause and celebrate the perfectly, imperfect moments we share with mom 365 days a year — moments that make motherhood and life meaningful," said Molly Wigand, Hallmark writer. "By offering Postage-Paid Greetings and other innovative cards, Hallmark is making it easier for consumers to celebrate these meaningful moments."
Hallmark Postage-Paid Greetings feature the U.S. Postal Service's Intelligent Mail barcode on the front of the envelope. When the cards are processed at a Postal Service facility, the barcode automatically indicates to the Postal Service the postage is paid. The postage is treated like a Forever Stamp, and its value will always be equal to the price of a standard First-Class stamp, regardless of when it's mailed. There are more than 90 Postage-Paid Greetings specifically for Mother's Day and more than 200 "everyday" and seasonal Postage-Paid Greetings ranging from $2.69 to $3.99.
Of course, if you'd rather hand-deliver your message, there are still over 900 'old school' Hallmark Mother's Day cards to choose from. The choice is yours, just be mindful: you can no longer excuse a tardy card with, "I couldn't find a stamp."

Times have changed. In the face of massive economic change and tougher competition, the traditional path to success is outdated. Practice management methods of the past no longer work.

Dentists who achieve this are what I call a 'dentalpreneur'.

These dentists are guided by their ambitions to create value and serve others. They are hard-working visionaries who take action to leave the world a better place. They lead, and are nimble, creative and innovative in the new economy. Ultimately, their ambition is to build a great practice, make a difference and lead an extraordinary life.
