The 2005 gold proof sovereign, featuring a special single year one-off re-worked version of St. George and the Dragon on the reverse.
See the rest of the 2005 Sovereign Collection.
In 1989 and again in 2002, the Royal Mint issued gold sovereigns with a different design, in each case for one single year only. These appear to have proved popular. The 1989 was available as a proof only, indeed no ordinary uncirculated sovereigns were issued from 1983 to 1999. Although from memory it only sold normally when it was first issued, it has seen increasing demand from the growing numbers of sovereign collectors. As the supply is limited, the prices of these sovereigns have been increasing, they now change hands at about double the original issue price.
The 2002 sovereigns for the Golden Jubilee were of a shield design, reflecting the similar device used in the early period of Victoria's reign from 1838 to 1871. Once again these were popular, time will tell whether they reach the price levels of the 1989's.
The obverse shows the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
The special reverse was designed by Timothy Noad.

Marijuana: Changing Attitudes
Fewer Americans Say Using Marijuana is Morally Wrong
A declining share of Americans see the use of marijuana as a moral issue. Those in the Silent Generation are more likely than younger people to say that smoking marijuana is morally wrong. But since 2006, the percentage of Silents expressing this view has decreased from 71% to 48%.

Food Waste Reduction
Food Recovery Hierarchy
"The Food Recovery Hierarchy prioritizes actions organizations can take to prevent and divert wasted food. Each tier of the Food Recovery Hierarchy focuses on different management strategies for your wasted food.
The top levels of the hierarchy are the best ways to prevent and divert wasted food because they create the most benefits for the environment, society and the economy."
Source Reduction
By conducting a waste audit either at your home or business will allow you to get a better picture of how much food is generated, which can lead to effective wasted food prevention strategies. Preventing wasted food is a matter of implementing better habits like reducing serving sizes as appropriate for your community.
Feed Hungry People
In 2014, over 38 million tons of wasted food were thrown away in the United States. At the same time, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, approximately 13 percent of American households had difficulty providing enough food for all their members due to a lack of resources at some time during 2015.1 In many cases, the food tossed into our nation's landfills is wholesome, edible food.
Feed Animals
Food scraps for animals can save farmers and company's money. It is often cheaper to feed animals food scraps rather than having them hauled to a landfill. Companies can also donate extra food to zoos or producers that make animal or pet food. There are many opportunities to feed animals, help the environment and reduce costs. You can donate your animal feed scraps locally at cropmobster or farmer's guild in Sonoma County.
Industrial Uses
Food can be used to not only feed people and animals, but also power your car or generator. There is increasing interest in finding effective means to obtain biofuel and bio-products from wasted food. These options aim to alleviate some of the environmental and economic issues associated with wasted food while increasing the use of alternative energy sources.
Even when all actions have been taken to use your wasted food, certain inedible parts will still remain and can be turned into compost to feed and nourish the soil. Like yard waste, food waste scraps can also be composted. Composting these wastes creates a product that can be used to help improve soils, grow the next generation of crops, and improve water quality.

My cousin Katty called me one day to tell me about a wonderful photography opportunity.
Rebecca, she said, had the most glorious waist-length hair. And was actually willing to let us photograph her. (Some people balk when they see my wild eyes and hear my even wilder ideas).
I love when opportunity calls. Or rather, I love when opportunity calls Katty, who then calls me.
The Walking Hair showed up at my house, shiny, soft and connected to a shy, exotic face. My mind went full tsar bomba and exploded with possibilities.
We can have the fan blowing her wonderful mane around her face!
We can splay it around her head and shoot her from above!
We can strip her naked and have her black tresses shield her private parts!
As with all idea that come from my brain, some worked great! Some did not…..
I've never had long hair before so I wasn't aware how heavy it would be. My tiny fan was NOT cutting it. Coupled with the fact that it was freezing that day, so my beautiful Hair (connected to Rebecca) was cold.
We stuck a space heater on Rebecca AND the fan, set up lights and got to work. (I'm surprised she didn't leave my house with the sniffles).
We are about 0.325 milliseconds away from blowing a fuse here. We used two umbrellas and an accent light, aka a hair light, to add a nice sheen to her hair.
I wished at the time the fusion of hot and cold air would create a tornado and swirl around Rebecca's hair magically, but no such magic happened…woe is me.
It was extremely difficult to get her hair to cooperate, and I remembered why I've always kept mine short. Still, the beauty of it, the flowing chocolate waves, were mesmerizing to watch. And she seemed to know how to tame it.
It took some finagling with the fan and positions but we finally managed to score some beautiful images.
Soon after, we abandoned the idea of blowing hair (pouty lip), and took some glamour shots with her hair down and natural.
And then….oh!
Rebecca reiterated over and over how she was not a professional model. That she didn't know what to do, how to position her arms, her face, her hands. I was shocked by this. I thought she did amazing. Or maybe it was her quiet, shy nature that really made this shoot.
I didn't give her much direction with her face, somehow knowing her eyes would speak (which is usually the case with quiet people). And a reserved melancholy oozed from her skin.
Suddenly the shoot wasn't about her hair anymore. She was no longer a walking wig. Instead she became Rebecca, quiet, sweet, and full of a secret sorrow. Rebecca, who's face tells the story we all want to hear. She was Rebecca, who just happened to have long hair. Ahh, the sweet bliss of a photo shoot transforming itself.
I am ashamed to say that I didn't see it. I hadn't met Rebecca before this day, I didn't KNOW her, so I was dead set on shooting a beautiful girl with magical, Rapunzel hair. I never imagined it would turn into something more, (you'd think I'd know by now that my shoots never go as planned!). I'm not sad that it turned out differently. Just ashamed that it took half of our allotted time to see that this young (barely legal) girl could portray such emotion, and throw out such epic shots. Goosebumps.
A waterfall of chocolate hair walked into my house, and a sweet, sad and brave girl walked out.
I only met Rebecca that one time. It's been a year and I haven't seen her since. But she taught me a lot! Don't assume. Don't hold so tightly to ideas in your head. Don't judge a book by it's hair.
I've been so fixated lately on finding models with an aesthetically pleasing quality. When the truth is, that beauty really IS on the inside. And sometimes it oozes out in time for me to photograph.

We're excited to introduce our first Infigo View blog post, in collaboration with the charismatic Peter Lancaster, from the award-winning Documobi. Pete has a wealth of experience in the world of web to print and brand engagement, so we're delighted to be working with him as our first guest blogger!
In 1909, Henry Ford famously said 'you can have any color of car you want as long as it's black'. Mass production was born. You could now 'keep up with the Jones''
That was then. We now live in a different world where 'Digital Natives' create and drive marketing, advertising and PR. So how is Print, particularly in the form of packaging and labels, coping with the onslaught of digital media in this era of instant, always on and hyper-personalised retail experiences? Unlike brochures and newspapers, which can be replaced in part or in whole by digital media, packaging is, and will remain, absolutely necessary. You can't wrap a burger or a new toaster in pixels, you need to protect the contents and show legally required information.
Fast forward to 2014 and Coca-Cola Australia launched the 'Share-a-Coke' campaign with hundreds of first names on printed labels. Mass Customisation finally arrived.
I say Customisation and not Personalisation because it was Coca-Cola that decided what names appeared, then printed them digitally in batched versions and delivered them to store. Staff then had to constantly monitor which names appeared on shelf and restock frequently. Reputedly, sales increased by 2%, which is colossal!! Such was the success and demand (especially from people whose names were not included), Coco-Cola then allowed consumers to commission their own personalised version online.
In 2015, Nutella (Ferrero) allowed 10,000 consumers per day to create their own personalised labels (with a unique proof of purchase code on pack) free of charge. Consumers were encouraged to do the following:
Once you get your own jar, take a photo of it, of you and your jar, of your kids and their jars, of the whole barangay with their jars, share a story on why you love this hazelnutty-chocolatey spread, and share on Instagram. Please tag @NutellaSEA and use the hashtag #YourNutella
In late 2015, Marmite joined the fray, offering consumers the ability to put their name on a jar and have it delivered. By the time you'd paid £4.99 for a 250g jar, a further £1 for a generic gift box and £2.99 for delivery (up to 7 working days), it would cost you £8.98. You can buy a jar for £2.27 in Aldi. Marmite has more than 1m likes on Facebook.
The Next Level
The sophistication level of personalised packaging is increasing all the time. To complement digital media, in this age of photos and videos (think Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat et al), Packaging is now embracing the idea of printing personalised photos and text on gifts such as chocolate boxes (Cadburys, Hershey's and others). This model is tried, tested and proven on flat paper products like Greeting Cards from MoonPig, Funky Pigeon and many others. These cards will probably stay on your mantelpiece far longer than a traditional card. It says that the sender put some real effort behind the thought.
Of course, the technology behind this consumer driven revolution has to be simple, intuitive and primarily a mobile first experience. It is what the Print Industry calls 'Web2Print' or 'W2P', but very few of the current solutions in the market can truly be classed as mobile friendly. The target market for personalised printed products skews very much to the under 35s. The photos (and videos) this demographic takes will almost certainly be on their smartphones, so creating any photo-enabled product MUST be a mobile friendly experience.
Perhaps, for the benefit of the Print Industry, we should now call systems like Infigo's Catfish and MegaEdit Pro 'M2P', 'Mobile2Print' or 'M2Print'.

Once inside, we collected our tickets along with some complementary tokens to try our gins of choice. If you've never been to a Gin Festival, it's a pretty great way to try out new brands and some unique flavours. We were given a booklet of all the gin available and which bar they were stocked at. The main hall consisted of four bars, each with different types and styles of gin. Every gin was labelled up with the garnish and which tonic matched best with the flavours. We tried one from each bar obviously!
Next door to the main hall was the brands room, where we got lots of free tasters and learnt all about the new gins on the market. It was a really cool way to try some of the drinks on offer before committing to an entire glass. I particularly took to the Parma Violet gin from Zymurgorium, and of course had to have a full glass from the bar. I also tried an incredible coconut flavoured gin from a brand called Hoxton, that would just be perfect for sipping by the pool on holiday.The other side of the main bar area, was food and entertainment. There were live bands on all afternoon, which created the perfect atmosphere for sipping drinks and catching up with friends.
The festival is running up and down the country over the next few months and unfortunately has finished in Manchester for this year. Tickets are allocated to time slots, meaning the event doesn't get unbearably busy and you have the perfect amount of gin-drinking time! So check out the https://www.ginfestival.com/ for dates for upcoming events near you.
I will certainly be attending again next year, it was such a fab afternoon, especially if you like a good G&T!
*I received complimentary tickets for this event, though all my opinions are my own.

"Be inspired by what you understand, and driven by what you do not" – Scientists Manifesto
A saying Ashley constantly applies to her life, always searching for new opportunities and ways to make a difference. Countless hours of watching National Geographic and fishing with her father sparked curiosity and inspired her from a young age to pursue a career in science. This passion for discovery has resulted in her obtaining two Bachelor of Science degrees in Biomedical Science and Biology and a Masters in Microbiology. Her MSc has provided her the opportunity to work with a variety of organisms and present at numerous conferences, even being honored with awards for her research. She plans to continue her education and obtain a PhD in Microbiology.
Ashley applies this ambition for learning and discovery to other aspects of her life as well. Experimenting by day, she spends evenings and weekends playing sports such as soccer, basketball and volleyball. She is always ready to try new activities, and has recently found herself enjoying Muay Thai and yoga.
In her spare time Ashley enjoys baking, cooking and playing the guitar, and was ecstatic to FINALLY manage to play bar chords this past year. She also loves anything and everything Sci-fi and often finds herself reading about our Universe and theoretical technologies (did you know NASA is actually beginning work on Warp drives?).
Ashley strives to be a compassionate and generous person, helping others in any way she can. She is determined to accomplish goals she has set for herself and to empower and inspire others. Success is defined on an individual basis and that what is important is that you set goals and pursue your dreams.

The Heart and Crown, Susan Creasy Financial Inc, Makeup Muse, UMTBC, Gongshow Gear, RD Cooper Appraisals, Friends and Family
Languages spoken fluently (please include your native language if English is not your native language).
What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
I love playing sports! I've mainly stuck to volleyball basketball and soccer, however recently I've dabbled in Muay Thai and flag football as well. Involvement in both recreational and competitive contexts has not only contributed to my fitness but also played a tremendous role in my social life. Sport is a vehicle I use to decompress during times of stress, and provides physical and mental challenges that allow me to grow.
I also love baking, cooking, and playing the guitar (a passion which continues to grow with every new song I learn).
List any special training you have had (music, art, drama, dance, etc.)
I was a dancer for 10 years (jazz and ballet), but gained more of an appreciation for the arts and music when I was introduced to the flute and the guitar. Learning these instruments came surprisingly easy to me. Although I have mastered neither, I really enjoy playing music and find it allows me to zone out and express myself.
In what sports, if any, have you participated?
I played on the high school track, basketball, volleyball and soccer teams and have participated in multiple championships including three trips to OFSAA provincial championships (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations). I also played on an Ontario Basketball Association (OBA) team for a year and participated in swimming lessons throughout my youth. Soccer was my favorite sport growing up which resulting in my coaching and reffing the sport throughout school. I continue to play on intramural and recreational sports teams as well as participating in Muay Thai and the occasional yoga class.
Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My thesis supervisor Dr. Catherine Carillo has had the largest influence on my life. She is one of the most intelligent, down-to-earth, esteemed scientists I've ever met. Her ability to constantly produce new experiments and ideas fascinates me. Although she is extremely busy with her own family and career she is always available to someone in need. I aspire to accomplish what she has in life, and can only hope to do so with the same amount of creativity, compassion, grace and humor she has exhibited.
What is your proudest personal accomplishment (other than participating in this pageant)?
I have been extremely fortunate to have achieved many wonderful accomplishments in my life. My proudest accomplishment thus far would have to be the completion of my Masters in Microbiology. (Thesis writing has taken much longer than I anticipated. It was a long road, but definitely worth all of the late nights and broken flasks.)
What is the most interesting or unique thing that has ever happened to you and/or what is the most interesting thing about you?
Something I find unique/interesting is that at the age of 26 I have yet to break a single bone in my body (knock on wood).
What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
I am intrigued by everything in the science realm. Throughout childhood I always enjoyed watching documentaries and learning about the universe, and all of the organisms that thrive here on Earth. With age my interests have swayed towards microbiology and immunology. Having always been fascinated with viruses, and unfortunately watching many friends and family members succumb to cancer, I am hopeful to begin research in the field of oncolytic viral therapy (fighting cancer using viruses as vectors). I would like to complete a PhD in microbiology and immunology and some day command my own research laboratory.
What would be your "dream job" in life?
My dream job would allow me to not only be in charge of my own lab, but also travel the world and collaborate with other scientists and groups towards a common research goal. Ideally I will be able to take a multidisciplinary approach to experiments, and work with others learning new techniques and meeting people of different backgrounds along the way.
Are you currently a student?
If yes, where?
University of Ottawa
Area of study:
Master of Sciences in Microbiology and Immunology
Are you currently employed?
If yes, what is your occupation?
Laboratory technician by day, bartender at night
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was raised in the small town of Amherstview, Ontario, right outside of Kingston. My younger brother and I spent the majority of our time outdoors biking, swimming, and playing soccer. We also frequented our grandparents' farm during the summers. Our parents were incredibly encouraging and supportive of all our endeavors (of which there were many) and allowed us to play any sport or instrument we desired. The praise I received from the people and the city last year following the Miss Universe Canada 2013 competition was incredible. I am very proud of that beautiful little town, which seems to grow more and more every time I travel home.
List any interesting or unusual jobs you may have had.
* Soccer Referee
Reffing a sport gives you an appreciation for the patience, observational skills and attention to details referees have.
List any volunteering you have done.
- Soccer coach – 4 years in Amherstview
- Fight for a Cure and Fashion for a Cure
What is your most unusual talent?
I am sometimes ambidextrous when working in the lab or bartending, and occasionally when I'm cooking. However, this may just be a result of me trying to finish work efficiently (as quickly as possible). I also do a lot of voice impressions, not of anyone in particular, but just voices I make up in my head. I have yet to determine whether my close friends find this irritating.
Where is the most interesting place you have been to?
A few years ago I spent some time in Kelowna, BC. It is a gorgeous town complete with pristine lakes, forests, beaches and mountains. The views are spectacular, the hiking is an enjoyable workout, and the vineyards sparked my interest for wine.
Travelling to more places in the world is one of my goals. I feel that this is one area of my life where I am lacking, having only begun flying a few years ago I have only been to the Caribbean and a few cities in the United States. I will change this over the next few years though, and hope to visit Africa and Australia at some point.
What do you hope to be doing in ten years?
In 10 years I hope to be a successful research scientist in the field of microbiology. Ideally I would have a position that allows me to manage a group of people towards my own research goals, I would however settle for some discoveries and publications in prestigious journals in only 10 years. Working in the science field has taught me that it is ok to be wrong, in fact, you should prepare for it. That is how new discoveries are made, if nothing goes as planned re-assess, search for a solution to the problem, try again. I hope to inspire and empower not only women, but all youth to pursue their dreams, set goals and work towards them.
I also hope to be starting a family sometime in the next 10 years.
Is there anything you would like to add that we haven't asked?
I was pleasantly surprised to find all of the contestants in the Miss Universe Canada competition to not only be kind, but extremely intelligent. Contrary to popular belief this competition is not just about physical appearance and a crown, but rather serves as an opportunity for young women to become leaders, represent Canada on an international level and hopefully make a difference. It teaches the importance of setting goals and pursuing your dreams.

A management buy-in or MBI as they are often referred to, occurs when a manager or a management team from outside the company raises the necessary finance, buys it, and becomes the company's new management. It is often considered as an alternative to a Management Buy Out (MBO) where the incumbent management have insufficient experience or who are unable to buy the business. A hybrid of an MBI and MBO is often referred to as a BIMBO (Buy-In Management Buy Out) where both internal and external management combine and pool their experience and resources to buy the business.
An MBO team may be frustrated in their attempts to buy the business due to having to compete with a trade sale buyer who would offer a higher price. The more successful they have been in developing the business, the higher the price they will have to pay for it.
There are disadvantages of an MBI as against an MBO as the MBI team would not have the same level of detailed knowledge of the target's financial position, its managerial strengths and weaknesses and the risks of any claims or litigation. The risks are mitigated however where the MBI is backed by an existing investor. A venture capital investor is likely to have more detailed knowledge of the business than any other shareholder, however this can lead to conflict of interest.
We can provide a comprehensive service to include finding a target company (if necessary); advising on feasibility; preparing your business plan; sourcing the finance and negotiating the deal.
Finding the Team
A critical factor in any successful MBI is a team with a good mixture of skills, experience and understanding of a business' operations and the key fundamentals that have contributed to its historic performance.
Funders pay particular attention to the make up of an MBI team to confirm they have the right level of commitment and a desire and vision to develop the business. Involvement in running a business prior to the buy in can often be beneficial. As mentioned above, VC investors have a panel of experienced MBI candidates, who may have previously owned and run businesses and with the requisite experience.
A team that has some personal funds or assets to help fund a deal will also be of significant benefit helping the structure of a deal, whilst providing funders with confidence that the team are willing to back themselves.
Finding the Business
It is essential that the MBI team find the right business and they may have had an eye on the target for a while as mentioned above. Other than a pre-selected target, the means of identifying the business include teaming up with a VC type investor/backer who will know of targets or searching the marketplace for suitable investments. We have extensive networks designed to pinpoint opportunities by way of searching within preset investment criteria and carried out by "investments required" or "acquisitions sought".
Finding the Funding
MBIs are traditionally more difficult to finance than MBOs due to the higher levels of risk. Transaction costs may also be higher due to the increased levels of due diligence required.
There are however a variety of sources available for MBI funding ranging from private equity to debt and asset finance. Management teams will invariably be required to invest some personal monies in the deal but this may not be vast amounts. It is essential that the Buy-In team can demonstrate that they have taken the best available steps to ensure they really know what is going on in the target especially if the price is full and there are substantial loans to be serviced. We have excellent relationships and regular contact with the leading UK private equity houses and providers of debt and asset finance. We are able to assist and guide the management team on the production of an accurate business plan safeguarding the investment.

Imagine you are a flower shop owner in New York. What is the most important day of the year for your business? That's right, Valentine's Day, where the price of roses can be twice as much as the price on February 15th. Here is an interesting thought: Rose is an organic living thing. Somehow it must be grown, cut at the right amount of blossom, arrives in the US a few day before February 14th. Any later, and you are running dangerously close to have crate full of roses on February 15th. Not a great position to be in. So, I found the journey of rose from the farms (usually oversea) to the shops across the world, fascinating. That is exactly what the team from NPR Planet Money did. You can listen to it here.

Reading an article like this reminds me of the work by psychologist Philip Tetlock who studied expert predictions in areas such as economics and politics. What he found was truly shocking. They are on average only slightly better at predicting than random guessings, and are worse than basic extrapolations.

There are large chunks of my childhood that I don't remember. I've had folks (professionals & friends) tell me that I need to remember these things so that I can examine them & move forward. I say what's so great about moving forward. I'm moving forward just fine without digging up a bunch of shit. It was a long time ago, maybe I've forgotten them for a reason. I lived them, no need to go there again. I believe I have learned whatever the lesson was & no sense beatin a dead dog.
Why is family so important to me? I remember a card my Mother wrote to me when I turned 13. I was in Texas with my Grandmother & sad/mad that I had been "ditched" on my birthday. In it she advised me that as long as I had the love of a family, life would be good. I also remember telling my son the whole time he was growing up that if a person didn't have a family, no matter what else they had, their life would be lacking one of the essentials of happiness. (I'm pretty sure my exact words were" if you ain't got family, you ain't got shit") I also told him that you can be born to a family but you can also create your own. Either way, we need these folks. It has always puzzled me that I came from such a fightin, chaotic, messed up family yet I value them so highly.
My parents are gone &, somehow, I feel closer to them now. I was so incredibly blessed to have resolved all my issues with each of them before they died. I feel the loss of them every day & am happy to have them in my hearts. I carry on regular conversations these days which I never would have dared to while they were alive. I used to hate them so. I knew I loved them underneath all that anger & rage but also knew it was way, way, way down deep.
From the day Dad brought the first one home from the hospital, I was in charge of the brothers. Eventually there would be three. I hid in the carport behind the huge station wagon & cried like a baby when Dad came home to announce the third brother. I wanted a sister so bad. I got over it as soon as Mom brought him home. He was my baby doll. I took care of him. I took care of everybody.
I grieve the loss of two brothers. They are still alive but lost to me for complex reasons of their own. I understand the reasoning of one of them (mostly circumstantial) but the other leaves me completely bewildered. I have written him, called him, cried, asked him what can we do to resolve whatever it is that is wrong. His reply is "nothing". His two daughters are so precious to me & we were such good friends. The pain I have experienced over the girls cannot be described. I have lost time with them & nothing can bring that back. The hope I cling to is that they will soon be adults & maybe then I can restore our relationships. I fear that the girls have no understanding of why I suddenly dropped out (was kicked out) of their lives & are resentful or angry towards me. I'll do what I can towards having them back in my life but will mainly (as always) consider what is best for them. They are surrounded by a ton of loving cousins, aunties & uncles on their Mother's side of the family. They did not need the drama of me insisting to remain active in their lives. They also live in another state & that made seeing them a problem. Besides, the invitations to graduations, etc that I got arrived after the event. I'll throw out an opening & let each know that I am always here for them. After that, it will be their choice & I will abide.
I've learned to live with these losses. They don't keep me from a happy life. I have the best life, filled with laughter & love. My heart is still full of love for the folks no longer with me. I fancy that the old gospel songs are right & we will all gather together again in the sweet bye & bye.

Dole's Tax Cut/Balanced Budget: The Numbers Can Add Up
The entire debate over Bob Dole's 15 percent income tax cut proposal has been muddied by two big lies: one told by Democrats and one by Republicans.
The standard Democratic lie — amplified by deficit hawk groups such as the Concord Coalition and Ross Perot's Reform Party — is that a 15 percent income tax cut is impossible without either blowing a hole through the deficit or making politically excruciating cuts in federal spending. The standard Republican lie is that the deficit can be eliminated by 2002 with a 15 percent tax cut without touching Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, or the military budget.
The truth of the matter is probably not entirely satisfying to either party: we can (and should) cut taxes by 15 percent and we can (and should) balance the budget in no more than six years — but not in the sugar‐coated way the Dole campaign is saying it can be done.
Let's start by getting a handle on the magnitude of the task at hand. Over the next six years the federal government is expected to spend a cumulative $11.2 trillion. Adjusted for inflation, that's twice what we spent to win World War I and World War II. Now, to balance the budget and pay for the Dole tax cut, the federal government will have to be "cut" to about
$10.2 trillion. Is it really unthinkable that the federal government would be allowed to spend "only" $10 trillion over the next six years?
The relentless demagoguery of "draconian budget cuts" is itself highly misleading. Here's the surprising truth: if we balance the budget by 2002 with a 15 percent income tax cut, the federal government's budget can still grow by $250 billion over the next six years. In other words, if the federal budget expands only from $1.57 trillion today to $1.82 trillion in 2002, the deficit disappears. Even that degree of fiscal discipline for a Congress accustomed to continually inflated budgets may not be easy; but it hardly requires a scorched‐earth budget policy.
The common description of the Dole tax cut as "gigantic" and "irresponsible" is runaway hyperbole. Yes, federal Treasury revenues will be cut by just over $400 billion through 2002 (after a modest accounting for the faster economic growth expected as a result of the tax cut). And yes, $400 billion is a very big number. But that is out of a $10 trillion six‐year tax take for the government. In other words, the Dole tax plan cuts 4 percent from the tax base and leaves 96 percent of all federal taxes in place. That should be called a tax slice, not a tax cut.
So where will the budget savings come from? This is where Republicans begin to economize with the facts. Democrats are right when they charge that there are blue smoke and mirrors in the Dole budget document (such as $34 billion in savings from spectrum auctions) and precious few specifics (though by comparison with other campaign documents, such as Clinton's 1992 Putting People First, it's a vast encyclopedia of budgetary minutiae).
The tax cut/balanced budget plan must start by ending the national fantasy that the cost savings needed to balance the budget and cut taxes can be found without touching entitlements for the elderly and military spending. Today, interest on the debt, Social Security, health care, and defense spending account for $1.1 trillion of the $1.57 trillion budget. In other words, Republicans, who say they are against big government and are committed to ending the scourge of deficit spending, want to exempt two‐thirds of the budget from cutbacks. Dream on.
If a more rational and honest fiscal approach is adopted — one that places all federal expenditures under the microscope –the budget balancing task at hand is far from Herculean. Here are the two steps necessary:
1) Hold military spending constant at today's level;
2) Hold growth of all nondefense expenditures to the rate of inflation through 2002.
That's all that is required! If we do those two things, the deficit disappears in 2002 and the tax cut would be entirely paid for. The math is shown in the accompanying table. The baseline numbers come straight from the administration's July 1996 Session Review of the Budget.
Military spending can easily be curtailed in this post‐Cold War era without jeopardizing America's national security. If we were to freeze military expenditures at $265 billion a year (rather than increase expenditures to $310 billion as the GOP wants to do), America would still have a military budget three times larger than that of any other nation — even larger than those of the rest of the industrialized world combined — and by far the most modern and sophisticated weapons arsenal. One way to start saving money is to bring most of the 100,000 troops home from Europe. Another is to eliminate the $5 billion to $10 billion in domestic pork that has somehow found its way into the defense budget.
Holding nondefense outlays to the inflation rate is a bigger challenge. Eliminating the useless Departments of Commerce and Energy would save $10 billion a year. Other corporate welfare cuts — the Export‐Import Bank; the USDA Market Access Program, which subsidizes the Pillsbury dough boy, techno‐pork, etc. –will yield $40 billion to $50 billion in savings. Eliminating foreign aid — which is the one area that the American public is rightly eager to see eviscerated — saves another $10 billion.
Medicare needs to be converted into a catastrophic insurance program by gradually raising the deductibles and making seniors increasingly responsible for covering their own routine medical costs. The retirement age needs to be raised as quickly as possible for Social Security and Medicare. Medicaid — which is doubling in size every seven years — should be block‐granted and sent back to the states, as AFDC has been.
White House economist Laura Tyson recently snuffed that after putting together four budgets in the Clinton administration, she understands that the Dole budget and tax plan are "not plausible." Maybe she and her boss weren't trying hard enough. There is a plausible scenario for cutting taxes and balancing the budget. For Bob Dole to sell America on his tax plan, he has to lay out in a more candid and straightforward way what that scenario is.
I even suspect that when confronted with the real choices, Americans will buy it.

Law Week Project Helps Low Income Islanders To Create Wills
Friday 4th March 2016 07:38 (Updated: Wednesday 9th March 2016 08:20)
The Canadian Bar Association (CBA) Young Lawyers' Section and the CBA Pro Bono Committee are excited to announce a "Wills Clinic". The project is running April 11th to 15th, 2016 in recognition of Law Day, which is celebrated nationally this year on April 14. Young Lawyers on PEI are volunteering to draft wills for a number of low income Islanders.
"This exciting Pro Bono initiative is a wonderful way for Young Lawyers to help Islanders in need," said Meaghan Hughes, Chair of the CBA Young Lawyers Section in PEI.
The Community Legal Information Association (CLIA) is coordinating the application process. "CLIA's recent New Horizons for Seniors outreach project revealed many reasons why people have not yet put their affairs in order", said CLIA's President, Warren Banks. CLIA has found that many Islanders believe they cannot afford to see a lawyer to make a will, creating a significant access to justice concern. Access to Justice is the theme for Law Day 2016, making this project a natural partnership for the groups.
Low income Islanders in need of a will are encouraged to contact CLIA for an application form. Completed forms must be returned by noon on March 25, 2016. Islanders approved to participate in the Wills Clinic will be contacted directly by a Young Lawyer to provide instruction and obtain a will between April 11 and 15, 2016.
For an application form, email email@example.com or call 902-892-0853.

My name is Eduardo Piairo and I work @ Natixis as DevOps Coach (I prefer the name Whisperer, sounds better) with automation, collaboration and communication as priorities. My daily mission is to mitigate the "pain" associated to the agile development process pain through DevOps. In other words, try to achieve the balance between business and business materialization.
I'm a development pipeline craftsman with particular focus on source control (SC), continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) for applications, databases and infrastructure.
With a database administrator background I have special interest in database changes management, data modeling and testing. I like to think that the databases is just another important part of the software development process.
I'm a huge appreciator of the "as code" approach: infrastructure as code (IaC), database as code, deployment pipeline, communication as code, …
My professional experience in electronics motivates me to explore and play with Arduino and Raspberry Pi. My professional experience in teaching (electronics and computer science) together with my will of sharing led me to write this blog.
I became a "community addicted" by being a member of Porto.Data user group, by helping to organize the SQLSaturday Porto conference, and by trying to go to others community's conferences as attendee or as speaker.
My most recent project is called DevOps Porto and it's a user group created by me and my friend Miguel Alho with the purpose to promote the discussion and knowledge sharing around the DevOps topic.
I like what I do and all my projects are important. However, my best and successful project is my family.
When I'm not working on my projects I take the opportunity to ride my bike.

Operations Manager R2 beta out
An R2 beta for Microsoft Operations Manager 2007 has cross-platform capabilities.
Continuing to move beyond its traditional role of managing only Windows Server, Microsoft server management software can now monitor Unix and Linux servers too.
Operations Manager R2 beta can also now be installed on 64-bit Operations Manager 2007 servers and has support for the Gateway Role.
Microsoft has said in the past that Operations Manager would eventually centrally monitor all System Center products, which include Configuration Manager 2007, Virtual Machine Manager 2007 and Data Protection Manager 2007. It would also centralize remote access management for IT.
When Operations Manager 2007 was released in May of 2007, it promised many improvements over its predecessor, Microsoft Operations Manager 2005, or MOM. One such improvement was around availability and performance monitoring with such tasks as fault and performance monitoring and end-user response-time monitoring.

Inside of the old David's Fast Food location in Hialeah, you can now find Pipo Burgers. I've been tracking Pipo Burgers since it started as a *Food Truck last year that parks late night in the Doral area. Every-time that I drove by, it was not just packed but crazy packed which means there's something definitely happening there.
Now that there's a brick & mortar location I knew it was time to finally hit them up. I made my way to Pipo Burger full intending to eat only the Burger and possibly the Fries. And then there it was……one of my Venezuelan weaknesses…the Cachapa.
Visit 1:
What's a Cachapa you say? Well, it's very similar to an Arepa. You should think of them as a Corn Pancake served Half Moon-style stuffed with their Hand-made Cheese (Queso de Mano) slathered with Butter/Margarine and topped with Cream and grated Cheese. When I tell you it's unbelievable, that's an understatement. I love Cachapas so much that if you told you me that you don't like them then we couldn't be friends. Honestly, though, Pipo Burgers' Cachapa is a home run.
I was really at a loss trying to figure out what would be the Burger I'd eat. The waitress suggested I try the FritiBurger. The FritiBurger is topped with Repollo (Cole Slaw), Papitas (Potato Sticks), Salsa Verde (Green Sauce), Ketchup (Yes, there's Ketchup), Maduros (Sweet Plantains) & Queso de Mano (Hand-made Cheese).
I'm not a Ketchup on my Burger kinda guy but the flavor combinations going on here defy logic. I was convinced it wouldn't work yet not only did it but it was beyond excellent. This sounds like the late night creation of a drunk. If that's the case, drink Pipo drink.
The Bacon Cheddar Fries were great but a little too much combined with the Cachapa and Fritiburger. I'll try the Truffle Parmesan Fries on the next visit.
Visit 2:
The *Maracucha Burger is topped with Potato Sticks, Queso de Mano, House Green Sauce & Ketchup. I requested no Slaw (Repollo) on this one. It's a very similar Burger to the FritiBurger I had on the first visit. I prefer it this way sans the Maduros. WARNING: This is a highly addictive Burger.
*In case you were wondering, "Maracucha" refers to someone from Maracaibo, Venezuela.
I'm mostly over the whole Truffle Fries movement but these were pretty good.
Last but not least I tried Chicha, a Venezuelan Rice Milk drink. It tastes very similar to the Mexican Horchata but it's much thicker. The flavor is reminiscent of an Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding). I'm not exactly sure if it's meant to be dessert but I enjoyed it as one.
There you have it, Pipo Burgers is a great little spot in one of my favorite parts of Miami,
Hialeah. It's located right off the 826 expressway so you can't even use that "Hialeah traffic" excuse. Pipo Burgers is back to being a Food Truck located in Doral.
Pipo Is Waiting For You:

Martine van Hamel Teaches Développé en Effacé
When Martine van Hamel teaches a développé en effacé, she makes sure to bring her students' attention to their orientation in space. "It's important the dancers know which direction they're facing," she says, citing the occasional confusion over what a true effacé line looks like. "I ask, 'Are you facing the corner, the side or the front?'" she says. The hips and shoulders should be square to the corner, van Hamel notes, and the working leg stays directly in front of the hips during the développé.

You need to trust your tuscan photographer
Trust in your vendors is everything. Trusting your tuscan photographer is important because it is the person with whom above all you will be in contact. And without that trust your wedding memories will not be as brilliant as they could have been,
You choose a tuscan photographer because you trust him (or her). You have to let go and let he (or she) guide you through your wedding day, trusting that everything that is done is for your best.
You need to feel that everything is under control – especially because maybe we won't see each other until a couple of days ahead of your wedding in tuscany – or maybe, as in one case with a couple from Taiwan, not before your wedding day.
We need to create that climate of trust that is crucial to getting Amazing wedding photos for you. To create that, we talk, we discuss, we ask questions and we try to get everything clear and settled so that you can relax and enjoy every minute of your big day!

so I wrote a long post here about my fears about being pregnant and becoming a Mama. I know that having doubts about my ability to raise a little human is totally normal, but sometimes I really need to reassure myself that I GOT THIS.
on the other end of the spectrum, I find myself thinking, "wow, I love this little baby SO much already and he's not even here yet."
I told Sean at dinner last night that I know things will change for us, because I am almost certain that I will love Ronin more than I love Sean. I know that this perfect little child will cause our relationship some strain, and THAT scares me. I don't want to put our marriage on the back burner, but I know that occasionally, it'll feel like it is.
I know that I'll be stressed and sleep deprived and will most likely take my frustrations out on him, even though it's a crappy thing to do. thankfully, I married a kick ass guy who is more than willing to take middle of the night feedings and work a flex schedule in order to give me time to myself. I only wish that he could feel what I feel for our son - I wish he could feel the little kicks from the inside and experience the overwhelming love I feel when I think about the end result of this journey.
this kid is not even here and I already feel such a strong bond with him, and I know that I would do anything to protect him and keep him safe. I would die for him, in an instant, without second thought. he is my heart & soul already, and he doesn't even weigh a pound. I don't even know what he looks like, but I can picture him in my head and he is absolutely perfect, because he is half of me and half of Sean.
I find it difficult to picture myself loving him anymore than I already do, but I know that the love I have for him at this moment is nothing compared to what I will feel for him when he's here. I know there will be days when all I want to do is stare in awe at how lovely he is.
I know that I'll never remember what my life was like before him, and my life before him will no longer seem substantial. my priorities will change, and things that now seem to be of importance will no longer be significant. parts of my independence will be forfeited, and I will add the title of Mama to my resume.
baby Ronin will be makin' waves with his arrival. and I cannot freakin' wait. <3

I can only imagine how you feel! You guys have been married long enough to have a solid foundation to make it through the crazy newborn phase!! I'm so excited for you, and I seriously can't get over the name Ronin. I love it!ReplyDelete

Hayden loves getting BarkBoxes, and we love not having to shop for toys, chews and treats. He always has new and different treats and toys. For December they sent a Lodge Life themed box straight from the slopes. Hayden wasn't able to wait before digging in. When we adopted Hayden, we enrolled in BarkBox's one year subscription priced at $20/month. They were even running a special to get an additional month free.
I'm continually impressed by the value of their boxes. Each month I'll post a review which includes the breakdown of favorite items and the value breakdown of the box. Disclaimer: every dog gets a slightly different assortment so the actual value of your box may vary.
- Hugo's Hot Cocoa- $14.00
- Britta's Boot- $10.00
- Dynamo Beef Chew- $4.00
- PureBites Freeze Dried Lam Liver Treats- $8.99
- Grandma Bowser's Pumpkin Pie Biscuits- $4.95
That's a grand total of $41.94 worth of products! Double what we paid! I call that a win. Hugo's Hot Cocoa was the family favorite. Hayden loves the mug and our kitties love the removable marshmallows which has traveled around our home freely.

Los Alamos Explains Their Security Problems
They've lost 80 computers: no idea if they're stolen, or just misplaced. Typical story—not even worth commenting on—but this great comment by Los Alamos explains a lot about what was wrong with their security policy:
The letter, addressed to Department of Energy security officials, contends that "cyber security issues were not engaged in a timely manner" because the computer losses were treated as a "property management issue."
The real risk in computer losses is the data, not the hardware. I thought everyone knew that.

Engagement Photography & Anniversary Shoots
Just the two of you, relaxed & having fun
These days it's so easy to grab your phone for a quick selfie on your way out for the evening, but when was the last time you got a relaxed photo of you both just doing your thing? Heading out to one of your favourite places with a professional photographer for an engagement or anniversary shoot is a really nice way to fix that.
Nothing fancy – just the two of you, as you really are.
You'll get to spend some precious time together and receive beautiful, high quality images that you can look back on over the years. Having a mini-shoot like this before your wedding not only gives you lots of lovely images (which you could even incorporate into the wedding day itself), but also gives us the opportunity to have some fun and get to know each other. You'll feel a bit more at ease with me and my camera, and it makes your wedding photos a million times better when you realise I won't be making you say 'cheese'. Ever!
So whether you're interested in adding a pre-wedding shoot to your package, or a stand-alone couple shoot for a special anniversary, the first step is to get in touch and we can start chatting.
'As a couple who cringe at over-the-top romance and the idea of being photographed, we couldn't believe how relaxed Becky managed to make us feel and how natural the photos looked. She made us forget she was there and therefore the photos capture how we actually are together without looking cheesy or forced.'

Has anyone thought of hacking this multi-meter so that an Arduino or other micro-controller can read the output? It digitizes that test results to post them to the LCD, surely they could be picked up and forwarded to a serial port or stored to EEPROM or a SD card. Sure would make a nice way to capture data for long tests when a bench meter can't sit there.
No public wish lists :(

This casual handbag from Dior costs $1,790 ....that's a mortgage payment!! For a purse....what????
Instead, consider this eco friendly bag from etsy seller Sinemingur
I know...it's not leather, but it's a fun and funky casual bag and only costs $35! It has the same general shape and round hardware as the Dior bag plus no animal had to die for fashion so you can feel good about that too. I also like that it's not vinyl (which just looks cheap without the cheerful). I would swap out the big button for something else (like a vintage pin from a flea market or your own chunky initial charm ), to add even more of your personal style. This bag probably won't last long (like the expensive leather bag), but it gives a lot of style for the money and you won't have to carry the same handbag for the rest of your life to justify the cost!

A simple lesson on how to value your time
As I'm writing this post, we have the following people at my house:
- 2 builders
- 2 plumbers
- 3 cleaners
- 1 gardener
That's 8 people who are working on my house today.
The builders are ripping up the decking around our pool and also building a new set of stairs so that our daughters can get to the backyard and their trampoline.
The plumbers are moving a tap in the yard (at the builder's request) and fixing some broken storm water pipes.
The cleaners are (surprise surprise) cleaning the house. And the gardener is mowing the lawn and measuring our property because we want to plant some tall hedges along the back wall of our garden.
So what? Am I telling you this to brag?
No. It's to share with you a key change in mindset I learned in 2008 that fundamentally changed how and where I spend my time.
That mindset change revolved around 3 things:
- How to accurately value my time
- How to identify high and low value tasks
- How to delegate low value tasks to others
When I was getting started 15 years ago, my time was worth probably $50 per hour. Today it's worth $5,000 per hour.
If I invest 40 hours a week working, I expect to add at least $200,000 of FUTURE (asset) VALUE to my companies (40 hours per week @ $5,000 per hour).
Note: I primarily build SaaS companies (such as BigCommerce) which are valued at 5–15x revenue, so for every $1 I add in revenue, it creates $5–15 in future equity value, of which I as a shareholder own a percentage of.
Anyway, back to what I mentioned at the top of this post…
There are currently 8 people working on my house. With some quick back of the napkin maths, I'm paying them an average of $45 per hour.
That's $360 per hour. To have 8 people essentially handle all of the tasks around the house that aren't the highest and best use of my time. To free me up entirely so I can do what's important to me:
- Spend time with my family and friends
- Work on my companies
- Help other founders and have fun
For every 1 hour of time I save by NOT working on my house, I can work on my companies to create $5,000 of future asset value.
So I spend $360 to make $5,000. That's a 1,380% return on investment. Better than any other form of investment I've ever made.
Now obviously when I was getting started, there was no way I had 8 people at the house. I had none. I mowed the lawn. I helped clean the house, etc.
But as my second company (Interspire) started to take off, I realized I was spending way too much time on what I call "low value tasks".
They're tasks like:
- Mowing the lawn
- Cleaning the house
- Fixing leaky pipes
- Booking meetings in my calendar
- Replying to cold emails
- Researching flights and prices online
At the time I was taking a salary of about $100,000, which valued my time quite literally at $48 per hour.
All else being equal, if I could hire someone at less than $48 per hour to handle my low-value tasks, I would have more hours that I could invest in growing my business and therefore growing my net worth and moving towards my goals a lot faster.
Read that last paragraph again. It's critically important you understand this if you're an entrepreneur who wants 1) total control over your time and 2) a company that will make you financially free within a few years.
The big difference here is that I'm NOT trying to spend more TOTAL hours working. I'm looking to optimize my time so the hours I do spend working (about 40–50 hours most weeks) lead to higher-value output.
So that's exactly what I started to do. Slowly at first, but then as I saw results and started to get leverage, I delegated ALL of my low-value tasks between 2008 and 2011. Both at work and at home.
I started by hiring someone to mow the lawn for $50 per week.
Then I got an executive assistant to handle my calendar, email replies, booking flights, dinner reservations, etc.
Then, as I started to grow my business faster and really wanted to gain huge leverage, I made an agreement with myself:
I would NEVER spend my time doing anything that wouldn't return at least a 10x ROI.
That's when everything shifted for me. I didn't always stick to this promise, but I did most of the time. The more I did it, the easier it got.
- Time to mow the lawn? I found someone for that
- Time to fix a leaky pipe? Got someone for that
- Time to book a flight? Ask my assistant, she's awesome
- Time to get a book edited? I'll find a professional editor
- Time to get a quote for a new office lease? Someone will meet the realtor on site, but it won't be me
- Time to wait on hold with a customer service rep? Nope, not me
These are tasks that need to be done, no doubt, but once you realize you can hire someone to handle them for you — at a cost of $20-$50 per hour, you start to think differently about how you invest the only asset you can't buy more of — your time.
If you're new to the concept of valuing your time, here's a step-by-step approach to get you started:
- Write down how many hours per week you work
- Write down your salary or annual income
- Divide that by the number of hours you work in a year
- Now you have your hourly rate
- Any time you go to do something, ask "could I hire someone to do this for me for LESS than what I currently make per hour?"
- If yes, hire someone. If not, hire someone anyway. Soon your business will be growing much faster than it is now and you'll be able to generate a positive ROI on the people you hire to handle your low-value tasks.
EVERY successful entrepreneur I know has an army of people around them to handle anything and everything that doesn't move them closer to their goals and vision.
Why shouldn't we model them and do the exact same thing?
So my final advice is to start by doing this for just ONE activity (ideally one you hate doing) — such as mowing the lawn or handling your emails. Don't overwhelm yourself and hire 5 people to handle your low-value tasks. Build up to it over time and as your business starts to generate more profit, bring on more people and start delegating more stuff.
Being constantly busy isn't a badge of honor (unless you're truly working on what you love 90% of the time). It's stupid and if it hasn't already, it will start to impact other parts of your life.
The key lesson is this — we all have just 24 hours in a day. And you shouldoptimize your waking hours to spend as much time as possible doing the things you love, that make you happy and that you're good at.
Delegate your low-value tasks as much as you can, but start with baby steps.

text: AngelsWin.com 2,010 Posted May 30, 2014 By Adam Dodge, AngelsWin.com Senior Writer - In high school I had a classmate named Trevor. Orange High was, and I assume still is, a school populated mainly by the children of working-class families. We didn't have a bunch of rich kids. Most of us grew up in pretty modest homes with two working parents. We drove used cars when we turned sixteen, worked P/T jobs and went to community colleges after graduation - a very average school with a very average student body. Except for the Asians, of course. Trevor didn't fit an Orange High student profile. He was very poor. He lived in a trailer park with his uncle. He couldn't afford even modest shoes and clothes. He was in the same jeans and a white t-shirt every day. His shoes were worn. He had no car. Physically, he was unattractive. Scrawny with acne, Trevor was far from being a BMOC (big man on campus). Despite his disadvantages, Trevor consistently pulled the finest sixteen and seventeen year-old tail in the city limits. We're not talking about the nerdy band chicks who were secretly hot under their glasses and stupid faux lettermen jackets. We're talking cheerleaders and bitchy student government broads with tans and racks. It was baffling. He must have had a great personality and a ton of confidence, right? Nope. He was a shy dipshit with no sense of humor. He must have been incredibly bright and articulate, right? Not at all. He was in and out of the continuation school down the street all four years and never graduated. There can be only one explanation. While it has never been confirmed, deductive reasoning allows for only one conclusion. Trevor was hung like six horses. As the Angels head into the land of brawling pregnant whores to take on the Oakland Athletics, we're faced with yet another mystery. How can a team so disadvantaged - with no money or fans, an awful ballpark in one of the worst neighborhoods in North America, comprised of has beens, never will bes and never wases consistently dominate the standings? There can be only one answer. The A's must not have a single dong measuring anything less than 8 inches. Good looks and riches cannot compete with an overgrown pork sword on a day to day basis. Think about it. The guy in the band with a third leg is sleeping right now. Soon, he'll wake up, eat a burrito, pop open a beer and watch cartoons. Meanwhile, the well paid accountant is on his third cup of lukewarm Folger's, knee deep in P & Ls.. What is the lawyer up to this weekend? He'll be up at 7am to tend to his garden before spending his day at the soccer field watching seven year-olds do nothing for hours on end. Our bassist with the python? He will be at the beach with a bunch of chicks on a 48 hour bender. Sucks, right? Well, not so fast. Who's going to be spending weeks in Hawaii in 15 years? Who will have a big house, nice car, successful children and a 10 handicap when it really matters? Who will the prom queen wake up next to every morning in the end? Not our buddy with the anaconda. He'll be sneaking off to the dive bar for some Buds on his lunch break from Guitar Center. He'll share a frozen pizza with his three roommates for dinner every night. His girlfriend will have five kids from six different dads, all named Spider. This A's team will party. It will likely party for the entirety of the regular season. But like every other overgrown bologna pony, it will lose out to a classier, cleaner more established penis come October. 10 Lou, Frieri Meatball, Stradling and 7 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have come to the conclusion with little input from others that I really do not know what a "Follower's Etiquette" entails.
Have you come across someone you follow and you enjoy following them, but they seem to have disappeared?
Now in this day and age where so many physical boundaries are breached by the internet, what is the proper way to ask if they are okay?
That to me is the question of the day. How does one say 'Hey everything all right?" knowing that you are virtual strangers and that how someone appears online/in text is not always who they wholly are. But that it is a faucet of them that you get to see. Sometimes it is the best, and sometimes it is the tip of the iceberg.
Can people get to know each other via electronics? While I would not consider this friend, a strong acquaintance is not the strongest word either. Can chat reveal a person to another.
In this day and age, is it safer to just wait. To say "Hey, I thought about you the other day" when they show back up.
The same could be said for distant friends, distance making it hard to hunt them down. To make sure they are okay.
And this could just be me. I've been this way forever. There are just some people some faces you come to rely on to improve your day. Hoping that in someway you in turn provide some inspiration to them or someone else down the road.
But at what point is too much, too much? I am afraid I do not know. Etiquette was never my strong suit, I have been the bull in the china shop barging in. With a gruff attitude, and an offbeat humor that does not translate well in person let alone on the internet I can be off-putting.
There is the key point, am I wondering because I am being my true nosy need to know everyone's business but my own self? Or am I truly hoping everything is okay? In this case, I can say a little of both. I do hope that all is well and that it truly is a case of life just running its course and things happen.
Then if that is the case, updates are needed.
Oh, that is so the pot calling the kettle. I am now making myself laugh. I myself have been known in moments of frustration to just disappear off the internet. So I guess in a way karma has come back to show me that it is a let down to followers to just disappear and not say 'Hey, I am taking a momentary hiatus".
at the same time to remember, in life's disappointments to come back, come to where like minds are. Where people have experienced the same life choices and let downs or up lifts. While I now have answered some of my previous questions, I still do not know if it is appropriate to ask, "are you okay?"

Eliminate Mood Disorders With Ayurvedic Medicines
The World Health Organization defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.� Mental wellness leads to general productivity in life.
There is nothing worse than having an extended period of time in which we "feel down" and we just cannot shake that feeling of doom and gloom!
Now there is nobody who can constantly be up and buoyant; everyone has their off-days when their mood not quite what they, or anyone around them, would like. Nevertheless mood swings are a natural occurence in the human mind.
In a perfect world, everyone would experience that feeling of uplifting happiness. This, however, is not a perfect world!
Alternatives To Chemical Drugs
The practice of medicating people in North America who are suffering from a mental disorder or depression, involves extremely powerful drugs and chemicals than can have far-reaching side effects. The general philosophy in the use of such prescription medications involves the covering (or masking) of the symptoms.
This is not the case with Ayurvedic Medicine. For over 5,000 years, Ayurveda has created natural compound formulae that treat the underlying problems associated with Mood Disorders rather than cover up the symptoms. It is through this natural balancing of the human body and the human mind that Ayurvedic Science can bring you Cosmic Joy.
Ayurvedic Science Treats The Cause of Mood Disorders
Cosmic Joy is a proprietary formula used for body cleansing and rejuvenation based on Ayurveda which is the oldest and most comprehensive medical system known to man.
Due to its extensive formula Cosmic Joy treats the underlying causes (NOT the symptoms) of recurring mental illness and mood disorders.
Cosmic Joy soothes your nervous system by exerting anti-convulsant, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), and anti-emitic (nausea relieving) activities that prevent rapid firing of neurons to relieve feelings of restlessness, anxiety, and fatigue.
Through the calming of your mind, normalizing blood pressure, and providing natural sedation to engender healthy sleep, your body is put in the proper mode to rebuild energy reserves and reverse biochemical damage from prolonged stress.
Cosmic Joy restores proper brain function by regulating the release of chemicals at synaptic junctures in your brain, minimizing production of stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol), and restoring overall hormonal equilibrium to prevent unhealthy mood fluctuations while stimulating the release of metabolic heat energy (thermogenic response) and peripheral circulation in your body to improve alertness and cognition.
Preventing Mental Illness & Mood Disorders Through Ayurvedic Science
Cosmic Joy prevents mental deterioration through antioxidant properties of terpenoids and bacosides which combat free radical damage in your brain, blocking of prostaglandin induced inflammation of blood vessels in your brain, support of proper liver function to enhance toxin removal from your blood, and improvement in your body's ability to absorb and utilize nutrients.
It is a positive attribute that each individual must have to ensure proper function and efficiency. It incorporates your emotional well-being and encompasses creativity and flexibility in dealing with life's challenges. This touches on how you feel about yourself, how you hold control over your feelings, manage your relationships, and deal with your undertakings. It directly affects life's other aspects such as work performance, physical condition, and self-acceptance. Good mental health is more than being without mental health problems or being free from depression, anxiety, or other psychological issues. It is about having zest for life.
