"Helping you to handle your business where you do business!
"What could I possibly say to this beautiful woman? She looks like someone who has it all together. What could I possibly say to make her day any better?" I asked myself while trying to still listen to the person on the telephone. From where I stood, this woman did not look like anyone who needed any encouragement and I did not want to interrupt her public privacy.
I had no idea what I was going to say to her, but I stuck my head out of the telephone booth and waited for her to approach. I opened my mouth and gave her a compliment. Nothing complicated, I just simply complimented her on her outfit.
I later discovered that something miraculous had occurred when I intervened in this woman's life. On that cold morning, this sister was mentally planning her suicide and because of the words spoken, she decided not to complete her self destructive plan. She was overwhelmed that a complete stranger cared enough to stop and bless her with a kind word. She believed that her life had no meaning and that she could not live another day.
In that small fraction of time and with those simple words, something marvelous happened. My words, without my permission or knowledge, spread the blanket of kindness over the ice cracks of another woman's life. The words spoken swept clean the cobwebs of self destructiveness that could have and would have devastated an entire circle of family and friends.
Let's explore this from a more personal vantage point. What would have happened if I had not stopped and spoken to the woman? I shudder to think. This incident changed the way I do business. I now know that handling my business also means taking care of people in the middle of all the other things I do. Without people, business means nothing.
This event helped me to side step the boulders placed in my way when it's time to act. If it means that even if I look like a fool to others, I have an obligation to speak and to act. It helped me to see that my words do have power. It helped me to see that women are waiting to hear what I have to say. It helped to me to see that women are waiting for "miraculous" encounters, even in business.
So the question is when was the last time you took time out of your busy day to stop and help another sister who has fallen through the thin ice of her life? When was the last time you openly and unashamedly shared your gifts and helped to pull another sister out of the darkness of her icy pits to behold another day?
It's time to act now. Armed with the knowledge that you do bring something powerful to the table, it is now time to wipe life's sludge from your skates with unbridled enthusiasm. It is time to embrace the passion to help other women. When you do, you will discover something marvelous and miraculous.
You will discover the cracks in your life diminishing in the safety net of other women as you stop, extend your hands, and offer assistance. When you extend your hands, you will discover other hands waiting to be held so that they will not fall through the ice. You will also discover an experienced network of women skaters awaiting your arrival.
So what are you waiting for? Put on your skates, join me on the ice, and let's glide...

Crystal E. Stump
Founder, CEO and Alcohol Specialist
Founder/Instructor T.O.A.S.T. VA
Former Special Agent VA Dept. of ABC
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 757.617.9773
Crystal E. Stump is CEO and Senior Consultant at ABC Consulting. Ms. Stump has licensed over 1,000 licensees and trained over 5,000 people in the alcohol industry. This number is increasing everyday. Her expertise in state and federal regulations is unmatched. Educating the alcohol licensee drives her everyday, ensuring licensees are aware of alcohol regulation changes motivates her everyday and celebrating client business success provides purpose to her everyday.
Ms. Stump was born and raised in SWVA in a small county known as Tazewell. While still in high school, she began working for the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (VA ABC) Enforcement Division as an Under Age Buyer, responsible for testing licensed establishments by attempting to make purchases of alcohol. After high school she attended Bluefield College, earning a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology. During her senior year, she was selected for and attended the Southwest Law Enforcement Academy located in Bristol, VA. After completing the police academy and her final semester of college, Ms. Stump was selected as a Special Agent for the Enforcement Division of VA ABC. In the following years she worked in virtually every aspect of ABC enforcement operations affecting the licensee community including application investigations, underage buyer operations, audits, inspections, surveillance, criminal court proceedings, and administrative hearings.
Ms. Stump left ABC in 2009 to create ABC Consulting. She now utilizes her expertise as a former Special Agent to provide sophisticated consulting services related to licensing, hearings and appeals, inspections, compliance, training, and numerous other areas that affect the alcohol licensee community throughout Virginia.
Dissatisfied with the accuracy and real world practicality of the other training programs in the State, in 2012 she developed a comprehensive training program for Virginia alcohol sellers and servers, "The Operational Alcohol Standards Training of Virginia" (T.O.A.S.T. VA), which received approval for state certification by the Board of the VA ABC.

Wednesday was our investor and demo day at the Boulder Theater. Everyone worked hard all summer to get to this point, and it was great for the teams to all get the chance to pitch in front of 150+ investors.
We could sense that the teams were all getting a bit stressed out, so we did a few fun things leading up to investor day just to get the founders to chill out a bit. We organized massages on Monday, and I think this really helped. But probably what helped more than anything was taking an organized hour off together last Friday and having some fun making a lip dub video.
This was the second take we did. It's obviously not perfect, but we decided we weren't going to spend more than an hour on this, so we just went with it. I'm pretty amazed how well it came out given that everybody just made up their part on the fly.
You gotta have fun. I think this paid off – investor day had a great energy this year and everyone really delivered with their pitch. You can't forget to have a little fun while you're cranking on your startup.

Q: I took my car to Majorca with a view to emigrating in August. My tax expired that same month, so I left my car off the road, but was forced to bring it back in December when I discovered that I had cancer. The car was insured the whole time, but I never declared a Statutory Off Road Notice. Could this land me in trouble?
A: You could seek to declare statutory off road notification now but authorities may track you down after, presumably communicating with you at the address you had last year. It may be better to come clean. Contact the driver and vehicle licence agency (DVLA) and explain your mitigating circumstances.

Students Gain Much from Honor Society
Colleges are ranked based on the performance of their students, performing well academically in college requires a lot of dedication and self-discipline from the student, there are a lot of topics that are taught and for an individual to maintain a consisted high GPA often attracts the both campus based and honor society. Colleges are very keen to ensure they maintain their students and one of the define way is to take the best performing students from every class, thus performing students' needs to sign up for the honor societies for them to get full benefit of their benefit. Honor societies are comprised of the best performing students in various degrees, hence when joining the society a student is given an opportunity to meet other performing students at the same level and senior levels. Networking is important for every employees, by joining the society an individual is able to make friends with others who have made it in their career, the friendships formed act as motivation gears for the students to perform even better in their designed area of specialization.
The employers over the years are noted to take interest on the honor societies, many have considered candidates who have enrolled in the honor society as opposed to those who have not signed up, and thus the honor society ensures the students are given the best treatment in the job market. Statistics on the job market acquisition indicates, the rational for the employers is the best performing students need to be able to link up with other performing students, the friendships that are formed will in the society makes the employers have confident with the young job seekers. After completion of college many students are left stranded but by being an honor member, for a student to incredibly boost their job seeking opportunity is to ensure he or she is a member of the honor society as it significantly boosts the resume; further students in these societies are able to justify their involvement in the society after school instead of idling waiting for employment.
The small fees that is paid by the members to enable them become members allows the students to have access to exclusive offers that are always opened in their areas of specialization, students are able to network with leaders that can give a student a kick start in their areas of specialization with much ease. For the students to benefit maximally, there are consistent honor conferences organized by the honor society to ensure their members get expos the industry while still in school for the students to understand the employers exact searched skills and abilities, this allows the students to adequately prepare themselves for the job market with ease.

Brent Tumbles As Dollar Climbs
Brent crude oil was poised to end the week on a low after falling to a four month low on Thursday following the first day of talks between the West and Iran.
The commodity traded at $103.57 at 6:32 GMT as an oversupplied market and a strong dollar continued to pressure prices.
Related: #PreMarket Primer: Friday, November 8: Investors Tweet A Sigh Of Relief
The European Central Bank surprised markets by cutting its main interest rate to a record low 0.25 percent, which helped buoy the dollar. Adding to the dollar's strength was a statement from the US Department of Commerce which said the nation's economic growth had increased more than expected in the third quarter. With a stronger dollar in play, crude became more expensive for holders of other currencies.
Brent was also under pressure as Western policymakers and Iranian officials headed into their second day of talks in order to strike a deal on Iran's disputed nuclear program. CNBC reported that Iran's foreign minister said the discussions were "tough"; however both sides have been positive about the progress that was made.
Iran's nuclear capabilities have long kept Brent prices supported as sanctions barred much of the nation's oil from markets. As the talks between the two sides progress and an agreement becomes more likely, oil prices will could drop even further.
Moving forward investors will also be focused on US nonfarm payroll data due out on Friday in hopes of fresh clues about the Federal Reserve's taper timeline. Although most aren't expecting the bank to cut down on its $85 billion per month bond buying plan until 2014, positive data would help strengthen the case for a sooner than expected pullback.

Find out why Nugenix doesn't live up to the hype in this review and whether or not it will work for you.
Nugenix is probably the best known testosterone boosting brand on the market thanks to their commercials featuring Hall of Fame MLB player, Frank Thomas.
Personally, I didn't notice any difference when taking the product except for an increase in libido.
I attribute the libido boost mostly to the Horny Goat Weed which is a great libido boosting herb that I seem to respond particularly well to as I've taken it by itself and had the same effect.
Let's get into the nitty gritty of this Nugenix review.
- FDA Registered Facility – Unknown
- GMP Certified – Unknown
- Made in USA – Unknown
- Crucial Minerals – One
- Crucial Vitamins – No
- Herbal Support – Yes
- Full Transparency – Yes
Nugenix Ingredients
- D-Aspartic Acid – 3,000 mg
- Fenugreek Extract – 700 mg
- Epimedium Sagittatum (Horny Goat Weed) – 650 mg
- Stinging Nettle Root – 360 mg
- Maca Root – 250 mg
- Mucuna Pruriens Extract – 250 mg
- Eurycoma Longifolia Extract (Longjack) – 150 mg
- Boron Citrate – 10 mg
What I like about Nugenix Ultimate
⇒ It Does Have One Crucial Mineral
Trace Mineral: Boron
⇒ Herbal Support
There are couple of good herbs in the supplement that work, even if Maca Root comes in a much lower dosage than we would like to see.
Herb: Maca Root, Eurycoma Longifolia (Longjack)
⇒ Fully Transparent
Nugenix Ultimate is fully transparent with their product. You know exactly what you are getting as they do not hide anything behind a "proprietary blend".
What I'm 50/50 On
Mucuna Pruriens – It's not that Mucuna Pruriens is necessarily a bad supplement, it's that I'm not sure it has any business being in your testosterone booster.
The only study we could find showcasing any improvement in testosterone levels involved infertile men taking 5 grams (5,000 mg) daily. There is only 250 mg in a serving of Nugenix Ultimate Testosterone.
There are some positives to Mucuna Pruriens such as it being a rich source of L-DOPA (levodopa) which is a precursor to the hormone dopamine which may increase testosterone synthesis and even growth hormone.
But without further scientific proof, at this time it's hard to make the jump from the natural source of L-DOPA to an increase in testosterone.
This is especially true when the amount provided in Nugenix Ultimate is just 250 mg!
What I Don't Like about Nugenix
⇒ Expensive
Nugenix makes several different formulations of T boosters. Ultimate Testosterone appears to be their flagship product at the moment and they certainly charge a lot for it at $64.96 per bottle on Amazon.
⇒ Some Unproven Over-Hyped Ingredients
D-Aspartic Acid – Case studies are often misrepresented by supplement companies and those touting D-Aspartic Acid are most certainly playing with smoke and mirrors.
In human studies, D-Aspartic Acid has been shown to boost testosterone in infertile men within the first 6 – 12 days. However, after just 1 month, their testosterone levels decreased back to baseline.
In other words, unless you are an infertile man and looking for a very temporary boost, it's probably not going to do much for you.
Fenugreek Extract – Nugenix often uses "Testofen" in their ingredients which is a patented extraction method of Fenugreek.
Interestingly they went with plain ole Fenugreek Extract in Ultimate Testosterone but either way Fenugreek is one of the most over-hyped testosterone boosters on the market today.
Fenugreek has been proven to help lactating women produce more breast milk though if you are interested in that!
Epimedium Sagittatum – More commonly known as Horny Goat Weed, it's a good supplement for increasing erection strength but there are no actual human studies showing any effectiveness as a testosterone booster.
Stinging Nettle Root – Nettle root has only one study on its impact on testosterone in humans and it failed to increase it.
There was a large scale study done on men with BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) and may help alleviate some symptoms associated with it but it won't do anything for your testosterone.
What are Nugenix Side Effects?
I did not personally experience any side effects when trying Nugenix and all ingredients in the product is perfectly safe for the vast majority of people.
Some people have a mild reaction to strong doses of fenugreek including:
- Upset stomach
- Diarrhea
- Gas
- Bloating
- Maple Syrup Odor in Urine
- Nasal Congestion
- Coughing
- Wheezing
- Facial Swelling
However, most people will not notice any side effects and/or they will be very minor.
Just as fenugreek may cause an upset stomach in some individuals, it is ironically used to treat upset stomach in others.
Does Nugenix Work?
Nugenix spends a fortune on ads to promote their products and they are great at producing hype and excitement with clever marketing and big name endorsements.
You pay a premium for the hype though and they seem to care more about "selling you" that hype than actually creating a product which works.
At $64.96 for a 30 day supply, there are better testosterone boosters on the market for less money than Nugenix Ultimate Testosterone.
Of course Nugenix has several versions of testosterone boosters and some of them are cheaper but they all center around using fenugreek as their main selling point.
iTestosterone's Recommendation
I typically suggest you pass on Nugenix Ultimate or any other testosterone booster that uses fenugreek (testofen) or d-aspartic acid and there are better products on the market featuring fenugreek.
Where to Buy
If you still want to try Nugenix Ultimate the best place to buy it is on Amazon.com
If you really want to try a testosterone booster with fenugreek though, I suggest you check out my review on Evl Test or Blue Star Status.
While I recommend you do not take fenugreek to boost testosterone, Evl Test and Blue Star Status are two of the better supplements on the market which feature it.
However, I suggest you read our articles on fenugreek, d-aspartic acid and stinging nettle root first!
Also check out my article on the Best Testosterone Boosters showcasing foods and supplements that actually work!
Force X7 by Alpha Wolf Nutrition is the only multi-ingredient, natural T booster I recommend.
It's formulation is based on real science with human backed case studies for real results!

Andrew and June Smith - The Bettajive Review
CD review
By Andrew Smith
The Hicksville Bombers recorded their latest CD/ten inch vinyl record on Cool & Crazy Records, at Sugar Ray's Recording Studio, using original 50's recording equipment, to capture their particular sound, on disc. The result is that you, the listener, get an absolute treat of a sound. The current line up of ever present Dave Brown on lead guitar and vocals, Landon Filer on upright bass and Paul Saunders on drums, present eleven tracks on this record, nine of which are originals, starting with, the title track.
The initial beat and timbre of 'Danger Road' has a Dale Hawkins feel to it, and indeed the guitar riff put me in mind of 'Baby Baby'. Cracking tune this, and worthy of the title track. 'One Night' keeps the pace going, a typically hard nosed rocker, with a searing brace of guitar solos, in a top drawer slab of Rockabilly. The rhythm from Landon and Paul set up 'Victims of Love' perfectly. Written by Volker Houghton, it pitches Dave's vocals just that touch higher, to really good effect.
'Stand Up And Fight', is a Landon Filer original, that has menacing lyrics, and a stick on dance floor stroll beat. 'Beast From the East', isn't a reference to the weather phenomenon of 2018 in the UK. It is, however a cautionary tale about a woman, and being involved with her, set to a mid tempo blues bop beat. A change in style again with another Dave Brown composition, 'The Man You Want Me To Be'. This has a jazzy lilt to the rhythm, and an irony within the lyrics 'If you want the mailman, don't go second class' given Dave's day job. This rhythm works like a charm, with each player getting chance to showcase their own skills with a designated solo break each. Cool beans.
The first cover, is a nod to the TV series Peaky Blinders, with a solid version of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' 'Red Right Hand', a song astonishingly nearly twenty five years old in itself. Another DJ stroller track if ever you'd hear one. A bit of country/rockabilly next with a super toe tapper, 'Blind Eye, White Lie', which has shades of early Elvis about it. I don't think there's many that wouldn't be familiar with the second cover track, 'Hank Mizell's 'Jungle Rock', and the Bombers, in typical fashion, turn out a foot stomping version.
Many who have been to a Bombers show, will have seen the air raid siren at the front of the stage. With that wailing, 'Bombs Away' follows, a powerhouse instrumental that ticks all the boxes. Glad that it's now been waxed for all to appreciate. Finally we have 'Goodbye, Roger That, Over & Out', basically about a break up, with the guitar replicating morse code, set to a rock-along beat.
This is another first class release from the Hicksville Bombers. They have a large fan base, and with the quality of this collection of tunes, they'll add to that for sure.

Tony Screti - Slap that bass Rockabilly reviews Danger Road
Danger Road by the Hicksville Bombers
Released 2018 on Cool & Crazy Records
Reviewed 15th October 2018
"Danger Road" is the new Rockabilly album from UK (Lincoln) trio the Hicksville Bombers and it's very good. Formed in 1992 the band already have an impressive back catalogue of albums and I'm sure
Danger Road will only enhance it. Over the years the line-up may have changed but the 2018 trio of the ever present Dave Brown, ex-Jack Rabbit Slim members Landon Filer on upright bass and Paul Saunders on drums Is killer.
With mostly original material, this brand new album sees the Hicksville Bombers rockin' in an exciting new direction and for me it's all for the better. With a more Rockabilly sound than on previous albums the Hicksville Bombers may just be at their prime.
The album was recorded at Sugar rays Recording studios so you know the sound will be authentic 50's. 9 self-penned tracks and 2 covers on this album.
"Danger Road" the album title track is first up a great authentic 50's sounding Rockabilly bopper and a great track to start the album. This is followed by "One Night" another up tempo rockabilly bopper, I like this track a lot! "Victims of Love" is a more mid-tempo track with great vocals, while "Stand Up and Fight" has more attitude, the vocals are mainly spoken more than sung and has a mean and moody vibe. An ideal Stroller. "Beast from the East" is a high tempo rockabilly blaster and I like it. "The Man You Want Me to be" starts slow but soon bursts into a mid-tempo dance floor filler. "Red Right Hand" is an up-tempo wild rockabilly track, oh yes. "Blind Eye White Lie" sows the tempo right down with a tender love song. "Jungle Rock" is a cover of the Hank Mizell track, and the guys do a great cover. "Bombs Away Hellz a Fallin'" is a stunner, high tempo wild rockabilly Instrumental that will blow you away, wow. Last track is "Goodbye Roger That Over and Out" is a great last track, great Rockabilly high tempo bopper.
What a great album, the band defiantly have a new sound with a much more 50's rockabilly sound, Great Album, and one not to miss. This one will appeal to Rockabilly fans who like modern and authentic styles alike.
Highly Recommended.

'Voodoo Doll' - The Hicksville Bombers 2015 album
'LOVE IT! - some terrific songs on it'
May 10, 2015
John Slam - Slam Reviews
Over their long career The Hicksville Bombers have consistently delivered top notch rockabilly.These kats have been kicking it out since 1992 all while staying the course(7 albums),hell you know exactly what your getting here and that's a good thing: rockabilly with a little blues and country on the side. It's been 4 years since the their last album , the pretty stout "Ready To Rumble"and to the band's many fans that's way too long .While the wait is over with the release of "Voodoo Doll " and yes it has been worth the wait.This puppy koolly rolls in with 15 tracks of rockabilly done just the way you would expect from the The Bombers,meaning damn good.We get a great mix of rockers, strollers and ballads as well as a few older songs that have been rerecorded .Highlights include: "Memphis Cat", "So Hot, She's Cool", " Low On Gas" and " Can't Buy Your Goodbye".
The band decided to have "Voodoo Doll" produced by the folks at Western Star and that has proven to be a smart move.This has a more punched up and fresher feel than their previous releases.As a result this is one great sounding album and it's also their best yet! Very Recommended !!

Poem by the title
Thank you Jeremiah's HouseThey were right when they said that Canada is heaven and good livingI kind of did not believe I reach here and left the awful life behindI flew like a bird high in the sky and the wind is touching its featherWhen i reached London I saw the wonder here compare to thereI was given warm welcome by Tam Nouhad Majid and MengeshaWe wanted to thank you for Jeremiah's House but thank is so littleI tried to look for a word to express my feeling but I could not findThousands times we thank you and thousands to GodTears went down my cheeks from joyWhen we left the Reception House everybody gave us warm goodbye god witness they were kindThen all my illness gone and my week body healedI thought I lost my family but I realized that they became my family and friendsI saw sweet hearts made me forget the sorrownessNever seen like Nouhad and Tam who were the remediesAnd also two others entered our sad hearts Majid and MengeshaI pray to god to to reward you with happiness
This poem was gifted from Waheed { Abou Atheer)

NOW (Newcomer Orientation Week) Program Testimonials
Peer Leader Experience
The NOW program was a total success. It was a great experience that created everlasting memories in both the peer leaders and the newcomers. The program had so much impact on all of us that it did not finish after all the planned activities were completed, but we also kept mentoring and helping the newcomer afterwards during summer. Constantly activities such as picnic in the park or swimming were organized weekly. The NOW program provided the right environment to create strong bounds and great friendship, which is something important for all newcomers who have left such things behind. Even today, almost two years after, when I run into people I met in the NOW program there is always a warm and welcoming greet that starts a short conversation.
Juan David Gaviria – Peer Leader 2011
Newcomer Youth experience
As a peer leader for NOW Program, I had very good and versatile time with many people from all over the world. Firstly, I helped and gained people with important things which they need to know about Canadian education and the system. I couldn't believe that I'd been chosen to be a peer leader and when I heard it, I felt proud of myself. It meant that I can lead and try to help somebody who needs a help, and of course, a friend. All peer leaders were friends to newcomers. Somebody maybe met a first friend in the program. I enjoyed playing, talking, listening and laughing with all people during the NOW Program. I was happy that we could help and gave them the good start in Canadian school.
Also, it reminded me of myself and how I felt when I came. I wasn't in this program because I came to Canada after that. But there is a difference when you come on the first day of school and you can wave to somebody and say "Hi". I didn't feel like an immigrant even though I am still.
This program can help them to meet friends in us and show how much they know or what they need to know. They could ask the peer leaders whatever they wanted and we were there for them. I met people from different parts of the world and learned something new about different cultures, religion, and languages. It was fun because I like spending my time getting knowledge about the world. I would recommend people to keep doing this program and try to make it enjoyable much as possible...for immigrants as well as for people who want to participate in that. If I'd have a chance to be a peer leader again, I'd do it with pleasure.

Who does this telephone number belong to? This is the most common reason why many people lookup area codes or conduct an internet search for a telephone number. The rise in popularity of caller id and the increasing number of people in the United States using cell phones has generated a drastic spike in the amount of phone number searches. People receive an unfamiliar call on their home or mobile phone and caller id might not return a name associated with the number.
People have many reasons for wanting to know who the phone call came from. These reasons can be personal or business-related and some of the reasons for wanting to identify a telephone number include:
Since there are so many unlisted cell phone numbers and land lines, there are a growing percentage of unidentifiable phone numbers. If the call comes from an unfamiliar area code, the first step one might take is to lookup what state the area code is from. We list telephone area codes by state. Knowing the city and state of the area code might help the person identify the call (say they have a cousin living in the city and state of the call who they were expecting to hear from). However, many times this simply adds more desire to find out who called.
Phone Number Lookups
Because of the millions of unidentifiable calls placed each day and the significant amount of phone number lookups conducted, there are several free and paid phone number search services. The free phone number lookups usually return the same information as your caller id might, for listed telephone numbers, they can return a name of person or business and address. In some cases, the free telephone number lookups might provide more information than caller id, as they may have access to larger databases of public information.
Paid phone number lookup services usually have greater access to unlisted phone numbers and can identify many cell phone numbers. With the many different cell phone providers and the lack of a listed or published cell phone directory, identifying the owner of an unfamiliar cell phone number is usually not possible through caller id or even the free phone lookup services. Many cell phone calls will list the cell provider as the from caller. To identify the owner of a cell phone number, many people might pay one of the phone number lookup companies to get such information. It is just a matter of if identifying the phone number is worth the cost of the service.

Better, but yet another losing week for The Spanking Zone at 5-6. Hopefully I can back on the winning track this week.
Regular Season Record Is Now 59-49-2.
All-Time Regular Season Record Is Now 113-101-7.
This weeks picks:
The Jaguars visit The Chiefs. The Chiefs have been very good at home this week but for some reason I think The Jags will keep it within a touchdown. I'll take The Jags +7 1/2.
The Lions Visit The Vikings. Vikings are a shell of the team they were early in the year. Even on the road I'll take The Lions +6.
The Eagles visit The Giants. I think this game will come down to a field goal either way, so I will take the points. Give me The Eagles +3.
The Dallas Cowboys visit The Cleveland Browns. Dallas is without some key guys on defense and Cleveland is getting some guys back. Still, with that offensive line, and just superior talent in general, I expect Dallas to win by at least 10 points. I'll take The Dallas Cowboys -7 1/2.
The Jets visit The dolphins. I think this is another field goal game either way. I'll take The Jets +4.
The Steelers visit The Ravens. The Ravens have been very inconsitent this year, and Pitt gets their QB back. I'll take The Steelers -3.
The Saints visit The 49ers. San Fran is awful, and The Saints have played much better than I thought they would. I'll take The Saints -4 1/2.
The Panthers visit The Rams. Is last week a sign The Panthers are turning things around? At least for this week I'm going to say yes. I'll take The Panthers -3.
The Colts visit The Packers. I see this game being a shootout with Green Bay winning by a touchdown. So I'll take The Colts +7 1/2.
The Titans visit The Chargers. I think The Chargers will bounce back after last weeks division loss. I'll take The Chargers – 3 1/2.
The Broncos visit The Raiders. Even with this game being in Oakland I'm surprised this game is a pickem. I'd have a much easier time taking The Raiders if I was getting pionts. I'll take The Broncos in a pickem.
The Bills visit The Seahawks. I think this game will be low scoring and The Bills will keep it close. I'll take The Bills +6 1/2.

My So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife
Sara Horn
Reading the title of Sara's new book instantly grabbed my attention. We all know that good ole Proverbs 31 woman. The perfect wife and mother, the one who hovers in the shadow of
our existence nagging us, I mean calling us to higher standards with her example. It is a love hate relationship with this biblical icon for most I believe.
As it she was for Sara Horn when she decided to face her head on and try to become more like the Proverbs 31 women in a year long experiment.
Sara names her mentor Martha 31 and sets out to learn and grow from her as written in scripture. As a writer, mother, wife and homemaker Sara looks to find the balance in her life that she feels that Martha 31 would be proud of. This is Sara's journey and in the midst of it, advice and ideas for us as she learns more and more how to grow in her relationships with her family and her God.
Perhaps after reading it you too will want to try an experiment like Sara's.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It's time for another Magento extension round-up, reviewing some free extensions that were released in March. In this post, we'll review extensions to help you optimise your images, provide birthday coupons to your customers, improve the cron system, ensure your customers aren't using insecure passwords, an easy product import/export tool, and something to spice up your product detail pages.
Magento 2
Image Optimizer by JustBetter
This extension will ensure that all your images are optimised so that they take up as little disk space as possible. It reduces the amount of storage space required to host all of your media, which can sometimes be at a premium depending on your hosting setup. It also reduces the bandwidth required to send the images to your customers, which is especially important for mobile users.
The extension doesn't require any configuration, but it does require you to have some system utilities installed. You may have to ask your system administrator to install these programs for you if they aren't already available.
The extension is a simple wrapper for Magento 2 around the excellent Spatie Image Optimizer package. If you're looking to optimise images in other PHP applications, it'd be worth giving this a shot.View on Github
Cron by MageMojo
MageMojo's Cron extension adds several improvements to the base cron functionality provided within Magento 2. Anyone who's worked with Magento's cron functionality will likely know that it has a couple of somewhat "interesting" features. This extension aims to smooth over a couple of the biggest problems.
The extension has two main features. The first is its ability to have different jobs running in parallel, but ensuring that two instances of the same job do not overlap. Without this extension, it's possible for Magento's cron system to start a new instance of the same job while the first one is running. This can happen if your site under significant load, for example, and can result in things such as deadlocks in the database that can grind your site to a halt.
The second cool feature is an admin panel interface to view which jobs are running, how long they ran for and if they ran successfully. This can provide critical insight into the cron system, as it isn't always going to be obvious if your cron job did anything otherwise.View on Github
Have I Been Pwned Validator by Timon de Groot
Troy Hunt's "Have I Been Pwned?" service allows you to check if any of your passwords have been compromised as the result of websites being hacked or other personal information leaking onto the internet. Recently, it was expanded to include an API that you can query to check if a password has been compromised. This can be used to help you provide instant feedback to customers when they're registering an account if their password is actually secure. The API works by returning a list of hashes that could match the password supplied to you by the customer, and the number of times each hash has appeared in various leaked password files.
This extension integrates with the API by checking passwords when customers register on your website. If the password has appeared in too many leaked password files, the password is rejected, forcing the customer to choose a new one. The threshold for what is considered "too many" is configurable.View on Github
Product Maintenance by Daniel Sloof
There are a plethora of great product import systems to choose from for Magento 2. FireGento's "FastSimpleImport" burst onto the scene in 2016, providng a lot of flexibility for developers to ensure product data is imported correctly. The Product Maintenance extension is a layer on top of this, providing 1-click drag & drop import and export of product data directly in the admin panel.
The idea is that you have a shared folder between the server and your computer, and make changes to product data in your spreadsheet editor. You can also drag some images into this folder, then click the Import button, and your changes will appear immediately in Magento. This shared folder could be powered by cloud storage, providing a direct integration with Google Sheets, for example.View on Github
Product Attribute Tooltips by Daniël van der Linden
Tooltips can provide a simple and easy way of providing additional information about particular features of your products without clogging up the product detail page. You could use them to show a picture demonstrating the difference between inner-ear and over-ear headphones, an explanation of why different products have different warranties, or what the different energy ratings on appliances mean. This extension lets you add some content to each attribute to display whatever text you choose. The text will then appear on the product detail page whenever a customer hovers their mouse over a question mark icon next to the attribute name.
A future improvement that could add a lot of value to this extension would be to let you add content on a per-value basis. A good use for this would be to display a different logo for each option in a brand attribute, for example.View on Github
Magento 1
Birthday Coupons by Sahak Tadevosyan
Providing a customer with a small token of appreciation for their loyalty can help make customers feel good about your brand. The Birthday Coupons extension helps you do just that, by automatically emailing customers with a coupon on their birthday.
The coupon is created as a standard shopping cart price rule in Magento, and all of the important details about the rule, such as how many times it can be used and how long it is valid for, can be controlled through the system configuration. You will need to set up a cron job to run the script that sends out the emails though, as it doesn't provide an integration with Magento's built-in cron system out of the box.View on Github

The senior Boris Johnson aide who Scrapbook revealed had been accused of harassment has been named as his deputy mayor, Stephen Greenhalgh. The Tory, who is paid a whopping £127,784 per year, has apologised after allegedly fondling the bottom of a female member of staff in a lift.
Despite claiming that he could not remember the incident, Greenhalgh gave the following statement to Snipe late last night:
"I would like to apologise unreservedly for anything that could be or may have been construed as inappropriate behaviour on my part."
Greenhalgh was appointed as Boris' deputy mayor for policing in June after Scrapbook broke the news that he was quitting as leader of Hammersmith and Fulham Council.
His tenure got off to one of the worst starts in City Hall history after he attempted to answer policing questions on his own — spurning the assistance of the Met boss Bernard Hogan Howe, who would usually accompanies the deputy mayor.
The incident is already the territory of a City Hall turf war … but more on that later.

last night it snow stormed for the first time this winter. the whole city was blanketed in white fluff. it was so pretty and makes me feel alive and connected with things. big snowfalls are one of my favourite things along with the things listed below.
this is my baby guitar. she's an acoustic cherry red beaver creek travel guitar with an electric pic up. i named her cinnamon. she was my birthday present this year. i've been trying to learn to play but i haven't quite mastered it yet. soon i hope to be playing along to all my fav. songs i'm sure.
these next two pics are of my tear frames. these are in my living room and i frame up cool pictures that i come across from magazines. they're easy to change out whenever i get bored or get inspired by something. right now i have a four set on sienna miller from an amazing esquire magazine photoshoot and some retro bruce springsteen photos. they are two of my favourtie and inspiring people, plus these images are so engaging.
these images are focused around some ethereal pics of kate moss. my favourite is the star image on the bottom center because she's smiling and that one and the one above it look so in the moment and not forced.
this is my first designer bag. it's a marc by marc jacobs bag that i got for my birthday last year. i wanted a marc bag for so long as i love their quality, whimsical details and how they aren't crazy expensive. i looked at so many different styles before i settled on this one. it's the perfect day bag. it's big enough to hold everything and a magazine plus it has lots of compartments so you can always find what you're looking for.
i love the hardware and the graffiti print lining. i chose black because it's a great neutral but you can easily punch it up with a scarf or charm if you wanted to give it more personality. i think if i had a couple nice bags i might have picked to blue version of this bag but for my first big purchase i had to go for practicality. i'm hoping to get another marc bag in the next few months either for christmas or when i go to new york to add to my budding bag collection that includes this marc and my mulberry brooke. ideally i'd like to collect a miu miu, a balenciaga, a chanel and a luella as well, but i've got to start making the big bucks first.
finally these are my new nike court force kicks. i first saw these at an urban outfitters in buffalo. i wanted them so badly but they only had big men's sizes. i looked online for them and still could not find a pair in my size as they were sold out everywhere. i loved the flannel buffalo plaid on the back of them and just had to have them luckily i finally found my size at dazone. these are my first nike's since 8th grade and totally go against my strict only white converse high tops and white adidas with black stripe shell toe running shoe rules but they're worth it.

Pest Control – Yellow Jackets
Class-Insecta – Order: Hymenoptera – Family: Vespidae
Yellow-jacket adult workers are 3/8-5/8″ long, depending on species; queens are 25% longer. There are 16 species in the United States.
Life Cycle of Wasps
Wasps undergo an annual cycle, and only queens that have mated in the fall or early winter survive. These queens spend the winter in protected sites, such as under bark, stones, shutters, shingles, rodent dens, attics, and wall voids.
In the spring, a queen emerges to establish a colony, laying from 10 to 20 eggs. Because no workers are yet present to help her raise her brood she alone has the burden of foraging for food, feeding the young, and collecting wood from which she manufactures the paper used in nest construction.
With the maturation of this first brood of workers, the queen gives up all her duties except that of egg laying. She remains in the nest, and the workers forage for food and wood, feed the young, and enlarge, repair, and defend the nest. At the end of the summer, nests have multiple combs, thousands of cells, and thousands of workers, and the colony then begins to produce males and new queens, which fly out and mate. The males die after mating and the mated females seek overwintering sites. The workers and original founding queen of the colony do not survive the winter. In the spring the cycle begins again.
Yellowjacket nests are built entirely of chewed wood fibers and consist of multiple stacked combs completely enclosed by a paper envelope, except for a small entrance at the bottom of the nest.
Nests may be built underground in rodent burrows or other soil cavities, on tree limbs, as well as in walls, attics and under eaves.
Insects and nectar; insects, spiders, meats, and a wide variety of other food items.
Yellow jackets are aggressive and may sting when provoked. They are especially aggressive near their nest. As fall approaches after the new queens have been produced the workers become even more protective and may attack in large numbers if anyone passes anywhere near the nest.
When Yellow Jackets are disturbed, give them plenty of room since they are capable of inflicting painful, multiple stings. If Yellow Jackets become excited and appear about to attack, do not panic. Retreat slowly and calmly from the area. While most other wasps use the sting and venom to immobilize their prey, Yellow Jackets use it almost exclusively to defend their nest.
Bald Faced Hornet
Bald faced hornets are actually not hornets at all, they are members of the yellowjacket genus, and have the same basic biology and habits of yellowjackets. They are black with cream colored markings on the head, thorax, and abdomen. They are larger than yellowjackets, and are nearly as aggressive as yellowjackets, but have a more painful sting.
Paper Wasps
The European paper wasp is not native to North America. It arrived in America sometime before 1981 appearing first in Massachusetts and has since spread westward, now occurring as far west as California, Oregon and Washington. This new wasp makes a larger nest than our native paper wasp species and builds these nests in more accessible places. Whereas native paper wasps build nests in high, out-of-the-way sites such as along the eves of a roof, European paper wasps build nests closer to the ground. This wasp is so successful that it sometimes displaces our native paper wasp The Golden Paper Wasp. These wasps as a group are not aggressive; it is rare to hear from someone that they have been stung by a paper wasp.
Yellowjacket Prevention Tips
Yellowjacket activity can be discouraged in the vicinity of patios, parks, picnic and other recreational areas by covering all food and disposing of waste in covered containers. Yellow Jackets are most commonly seen in large numbers during late summer and fall when the colonies have become large, food sources decline, and the worker wasps forage widely to collect food for their growing colonies.
Consider calling Action Pest Control Inc. to treat nests, especially in attics and wall voids for safety reasons. Homeowners trying to treat nests in close quarters like an attic are often badly stung or otherwise injured.Schedule a free estimate today.
If you are allergic to wasp stings, do not risk removing the nest yourself. Some people react strongly to the stings of bees and wasps. Symptoms can include swelling, nausea, dizziness, difficulty with breathing, and shock. Symptoms may be immediate or delayed for several hours. For most people without allergies, a sting may be no more than a minor annoyance or irritation at the time of the sting. Knowing this may help you decide if you want to risk being stung during a "do it yourself" control operation.
Do not attempt to remove the nest until you are certain that all wasps are dead. This may take a day or two, since some foragers do not return to the nest every night. However, when they do return, the insecticide residue should kill them rapidly.

How I Weaned Myself Off Money: 5 More Tips to Cut Back on Spending
In my previous post, How I weaned myself off Money: 5 Tips to Help You Cut Back on Spending, I gave a listing of some of the ways I started to save money. Budgeting can be thrilling as much as it can be extinguishing. I have moments of weakness just like anyone else. My buyers remorse will strike full force. I have to remind myself constantly: the feeling I get when making a purchase was good but the feeling I get seeing my savings account grow is way more rewarding. Now that I am further into my weaning off process I have less of a hard time looking at the bigger picture. I've gotten used to not eating out as much. I only go into stores when I need to. All these little steps taken have made me financially stronger.
I have been learning more about myself during this process, discovering what truly matters. My goals have become more clear. I wanted to share a few goals I have thought out and am currently working towards.
Current Monthly Goals
Myself This Month: Walking at least 3 times a week and reading more often. I am not getting any smaller since there is a baby growing inside of me. I need to stop making excuses and move.
My Little Ones This Month: Focus on picking up after themselves and trying new foods. I have realized my youngest eats 5 different meals. This makes feeding him extremely complicated. I always need to prepare a separate meal for him. Not saying what he eats is complicated. His diet consists of chicken fries and tater tots. I would just prefer him to eat with the family and what the family is eating.
Next month I will let you know my progress on the goals I set! Setting up realistic monthly goals is one of my goals for the year. So far I feel I am on track!
5 Extra Tips to Help You Save
Through out my weaning process I have discovered more ways I can spend less. Cutting out some of the financial fat is easier than you think! I have gathered another list of tips to help you wean yourself off money.
1. Unsubscribe or don't bother opening those saving notifications. The temptation alone can get you in trouble. Victoria Secret is infamous for this! Text, email and mail. I swear every week they send at least one of each! The stores I don't frequent I removed myself from there email/text list. The stores I go to regularly I have set up to go into a separate folder so I don't have them staring at me when I open my email.
2. Keeping focused on short term and long term goals. I have my goals sheet. These dreams and goals for my family are what keep me going. Above you will notice my monthly goals. An example of my medium term goal includes a really nice family trip. An extremely long term goal of mine consists of retiring out of state. May seem early to think of retirement but it is never too early. I am in the process of researching how I need to achieve my retirement goal. Yes I started saving years ago, but now the time has come to concentrate on how much I will need.
3. Practice your cooking skills. I have grown to LOVE cooking. I am constantly pinning and posting recipes. Creating a binder with the recipes I have tried and enjoyed helped out with my skills in a big way. So I am not buying cook books, I created my own and filled the binder with ones I know the family has approved, plus I don't mind making notes all over the pages.
4. Giving up my Target addiction. This one was hard. When I was pregnant with my second, I would actually got to target and walk around as a night out. I would make my significant other join me and we would walk around. Of course being there an unnecessary purchase was always made. When I know I need only one thing from Target I buy the item online and pick it up at customer service. I am in, out and focused. Target pries on women with there vibrant colors and constantly changing sales. They have it down to get you to Buy! Buy! Buy! I avoid this tactic by buying the toilet paper I need online and still get that $10 gift card 😉 Winning!
5. Stop comparing! One of the obstacles I face daily is noticing what others have. Between the beautiful homes I see on those wonderful home improvement shows to the new SUV with a separate DVD players for each row. The key is to focus on you and only you. Don't compare! Think of how unnecessary all those extras and upgrades are. Or if you really want a home upgrade try a DIY project. The finished project is way more rewarding.
These are just a few of the many little steps that can be taken to budget your life. Make sure you read part 1 of this series to get some more weaning tips. Please contact me if you have any questions about this post. Thank you and happy budgeting!

Dr. Jon Christopher Stringer – CNY Internists
Manlius NY
I met David Doherty 18 years ago when I moved into my 80 year old home. I already had a chimney "professional" inspect my home that identified about $1000 worth of urgent repairs to keep my family safe. When I called David Doherty for a second opinion, he actually underwent a careful inspection (unlike the first "professional"). David explained that although my chimney was old, it simply needed regular cleaning and inspections, not a whole bunch of unnecessary repairs. Since then, Dave has visited annually for a careful inspection and thorough cleaning. Thanks to him, my family and I continue to enjoy wonderful cozy, safe fires in our home. There is no one in whom I have more respect and appreciation for high quality, honest work, and integrity than Dave Doherty.

I wish I had called David Doherty years ago. After years of damage from water leaks, my ceiling is now beautiful. No more brown stains, and no more agonizing over the ceiling, waiting for it to fall down.
David Doherty was extremely neat, reasonably priced, prompt, and most of all, skilled at his craft. He made my chimney beautiful; I frequently look at the copper chimney top and repaired chimney through the skylight and it makes me smile.
Marilyn & Tom

David Doherty did a great job relining my chimney. He was involved in every process, from the initial inspection and evaluation of our existing masonry to liner and stove installation. At every stage he answered my (many) questions and gave plenty of practical advice. David is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We highly recommend his services to others.

Warning: this is not a joke.
Music Director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra Peter Oundjian and Monty Python's Eric Idle are cousins.
Apparently, they always wanted to work together -- at the beginning of the war in Iraq they discussed a musical comedy called Peter and the Wolf Blitzer --
"Then, a year or two ago – in the manner of all family histories, dates are open to discussion – Idle hit on what he thought was a perfect match for his skills and Oundjian's, and called his cousin with a plan. What the world needed, he thought, was an oratorio. Even better, a comic oratorio about a benighted schmo named Brian Cohen who has been misidentified as the Chosen One.
The end result of that e-mail will be on display in June, when Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy), a collaboration between Idle and composer John Du Prez, performed with Oundjian and the TSO, makes its world debut as part of the Luminato Festival of Arts and Creativity in Toronto.
Fo' reals.

Google Analytics Bug: Random Sites appearing as popups
Just over a week after Google made an announcement to increase privacy for users, which has mainly angered a lot of the SEO community, a bug has been found where you can view a random domain that also has Google Analytics installed.
Col Skinner (aka @SEOSherlock) found this bug today and has kindly let me share a screenshot of what he found:
Here's how he found it, and how you can replicate it (I was able to do so):
- Log into any account report then go to Content -> Site Content -> Pages / Landing Pages / Exit Pages
- Click on the "open in new tab" icon to the right of any pages.
The resulting popup will be to the URL path you clicked on, but the domain itself will be completely random. To make things even worse, all you need to do is refresh the page to be given another random domain.
UPDATE: A day later, Google confirmed to Barry Schwartz that the bug has now been fixed

You don't have to wait for summer's high humidity and oppressive heat to enjoy a facial mist. Although nothing feels better than a hydrating facial mist for instant cooling, you can partake of a facial mist year around. Facial mists hydrate, plump up and nourish the skin; they're fantastic!
One of the most pampering beauty treatments I've found is a facial mist. I always keep one on my desk and when I get stressed or need a pick me up, I spritz away. There's something very calming and soothing about the act of using a facial mist…it's instant zen. During the summer, I like to keep one in the refrigerator for a little skin-quenching bliss.
The best hydrating facial mists I've tried (in no particular order) include:
Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence is a lightweight moisturizing mist that boosts the skin's natural hydration with bioidentical Hyaluronic Acid and Jasmine. It plumps the skin, smells lovely and can be used over makeup or with other skincare treatments. There is no oil or alcohol in the formula. Refreshing!
Bobbi Brown Face Mist is one of my desktop favorites. It's a multitasker that will hydrate skin, as well as set makeup and give skin an instant boost. The chamomile, cucumber and green tea extracts soothe skin, but also give a delicate fragrance.
Pixi by Petra Hydrating Milky Mist is one of my newer discoveries. It hydrates and plumps skin with hyaluronic acid, and is good for all skin types. It's excellent when sprayed onto clean skin and before the rest of your skincare. Gives dehydrated skin a dewy, comfortable, soft focus finish.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir is the first facial mist I had ever used. Infused with Grape, Orange Blossom, Rose, Mint and Rosemary extracts, this skin treatment smoothes skin texture, tightens pores, and awakens the skin. It has an herbal aroma (note: I wouldn't recommend this one if you have sensitive skin).
Kiehl's Cactus Flower & Tibetan Ginseng Hydrating Mist is so refreshing! This new mist is formulated with the hydrating power of Cactus Flower and moisture-retaining capabilities of Tibetan Ginseng Root. It also has Lavendar, Geranium and Rosemary essential oils for a calming aroma. I like that this is available in a 2.5 oz. size, which means that it's within TSA guidelines for travel.
CHANEL Hydra Beauty Essence Mist has the finest mist (and nicest scent) of all the face mists I've tried, so there is no dripping or pooling. With Camellia Alba PFA (a proprietary Chanel ingredient), and antioxidants Vitamin C and E, along with hyaluronic acid, Hydra Beauty Essence Mist hydrates, plumps skin and sets makeup. It's a splurge but if you love CHANEL or CHANEL skincare, you'll love this.
Herbivore Botanicals Rose Hibiscus Coconut Water Hydrating Face Mist is created with plant actives Coconut Water, Bulgarian rose to hydrate, tone and soften skin. Hibiscus Flower Extract helps moisturize and speed up cell turnover. The rose scent is intoxicating!
Urban Decay B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray is best for those that need an oil absorbing facial spray. With salicylic acid and willow bark, I will say up front that this spray could be drying for some; but as a facial mist for those with redness or that need extra oil absorption, it may be a good option.
M·A·C Prep + Prime Fix+ Finishing Mist is a lightweight, multitasking spray that can be used in a variety of ways. Spray it on before and after makeup for an extra boost of hydration. Refreshes skin and hydrates with a blend of vitamins, minerals, green tea, chamomile and cucumber.
Avène Thermal Spring Water is one of the simplest, but most elegant facial sprays I own. I originally bought this when I was using the Tria Age-Defying Laser (review) and I could not have lived without it. This facial mist calms, soothes, hydrates and refreshes skin. Rich in trace minerals, Avène Thermal Spring Water has unique anti-inflammatory and anti-itch qualities. All in all, it's wonderful.
Do you use facial mists? Which are your favorites?

Freefrom food Entrepreneur to deliver lecture at university
The Centre for Entrepreneurship will be welcoming the creator of an award winning gluten free food brand, Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne, to deliver an entrepreneurship lecture at Aberdeen's Robert Gordon University this month.
Founder of Genius Foods, Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne, Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year 2011 at the Entrepreneurial Exchange Scotland awards, will deliver the prestigious lecture offering more than 300 students the opportunity to hear her success story.
The Price Waterhouse Cooper Private Businesswoman of the year 2012, Ernst & Young UK Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year 2013, and author of successful How to Cook for Food Allergies, decided to create a gluten-free loaf of bread after her son was diagnosed with the intolerance. After making her way through three ovens and many different combinations of ingredients Lucinda created a ground breaking, "tasty" loaf her son was happy to eat. This bread led to the creation of Genius Foods, founded in 2007.
Since then Genius has become a well known brand which creates a range of free-from products ranging from seeded rolls, crumpets, pancakes, pastry and bread.
The renowned lecture series is now in its 18th year and has been sponsored by leading independent SAP software consultancy Absoft since 2002.
Ian Mechie, managing director of Absoft, says: "Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne is an incredibly successful entrepreneur who identified a gap in the market and was passionate about her work. She is rightly recognised as one of Scotland's most successful businesswomen.
"Having Lucinda come to talk at RGU is adding to our growing list of high calibre guest speakers. It is important to promote the development of entrepreneurial skills among the next generation of business leaders and I have no doubt that listening to Lucinda's story will be of great value to all who attend the lecture, myself included."
Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne said: "I'm incredibly honoured to have been approached to deliver this prestigious lecture. Ten years ago I was presented with a situation which I had to resolve for my family and other people, like my son, who have to cut gluten from their diet. - I was determined to find a solution to the problem. Now I have a globally recognised brand which is just amazing."
Rita Marcella, Dean of Aberdeen Business School, said: "We are very grateful to Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne and Ian for taking the time to share their knowledge with our students.
"To be able to give students access to people of such a high calibre and with that degree of experience and success is just outstanding. Events like this are an important way of enhancing our programmes to prepare the innovative and entrepreneurial leaders of the future."

Plans have been revealed for a "must see" new heritage centre for the Braemar Highland Games - which is set to provide a major boost for visitor numbers to the village.
The proposals for the world-famous arena have been lodged with Aberdeenshire Council.
Braemar Royal Highland Charity says the key attraction of its plans will be the main exhibition hall, supported by a cafe, gift shop and multi-function gallery.
The charity was established in 2006 to replace the Braemar Gathering Charitable Trust and now owns the property.
The cafe would offer traditional Scottish food and drink, accommodating 30 to 40 covers.
A statement sent to council planners on behalf of the organisation said the development would be a major boost to visitor numbers, if approval is granted.
It said: "It is anticipated that visitor numbers to the village would increase by adding a 'must see' attraction to the itineraries of independent visitors and coach tour companies.
"The project will create a year-round, heritage-based visitor attraction to add to the attractiveness of Braemar as a winter destination.
"It can therefore extend visitor stays through enhancing the itineraries offered by tour operators."
More jobs would also be created if the proposals are given the green light.
The statement added: "Overall it will offer more employment opportunities on a year-round basis.
"The centre will not detract from existing businesses, rather it will aid them through increased numbers of visitors to Braemar by virtue of its attraction."

I personally find Alan Johnston the weirdest...his slow hoarse whispering (not horse whisperer) voice always does it to me. Its so boring.
Another boring and depressing voice is Steve Evans. He speaks relatively slow drags out the vowels of every other word to infinity and drops the pitch of his voice a lot before commas or the end of a sentence. That makes me ask if he is depressed.
Another slightly weird voice is Kim's from Top of the Pops. She sounds as if she has chronic sinusitis, always a blocked nose...the Ts Ns Ms come out funny.
On the TV side Tom Brooks is weirdest. He cant pronounce sibilants. On good days the S-es can be heard a bit like "th" on bad days it sounds as if he simply drops the S-es. Another guy who should not be in front of a microphone.
A weird guy is Rajan Datar. I am still asking myself why they called the new show "over to you" instead of maintaining the more appropriate "writeon"...and then that weird clapping "theme song" he selected for that show.
Is there no interview, pre-screening of people before they are hired for a microphone job?
