Castor is a great addition to any body soap or face soap recipe, and it really shows its usefulness in shampoo bars. In your soap recipe, use organic castor oil as 5% to 10% of your base oil blend.
Usage Example: For a 10% addition in a 5 pound (80 Ounces) base oil recipe, combine 8 ounces of castor oil with your other 72 ounces of base oils.

Building a Fire Pit
Here is how we built a DIY fire pit in a weekend.
Sometimes the job doesn't seem as enormous as it is until you're in the middle of it!
You can use cement or a non combustable adhesive if you wish.
I've gotta hand it to my husband, he did not quit!

Here is a list of a dozen shallow things of which I feel deeply envious:
- Engagement photos
- Wedding dresses
- Baby showers
- Decorating a baby nursery
- Job promotions
- Honeymoons
- World travel
- Happy family vacations
- Stylish yoga clothes
- Going out for happy hour/ movie/ dancing–whatever
- Jogging with a friend
- Terraced front gardens
Why? I've been married twice. I've had two babies. I am in love with my husband, who is a wonderful father, friend, and lover. We even go to yoga together and have several date nights a month.
By most counts, I'm a lucky woman. I have things–resources, privileges, experiences, knowledge–that many people around the world would feel grateful for.
Yet I struggle with this feeling of incompleteness, of lack. Partly, it must be because so many changes happened so quickly without being able to mark them with the rituals, traditions, and symbols we take for granted in our culture. A shotgun wedding, a premature baby, not being able to move in with my new husband until his–our–house was finished getting remodeled. I should be filled with joy, and yet, it's there: that emptiness. That comparison of my life to others' that leaves me feeling like I've missed out on something.
Are you envious of silly things? Do you have any idea why?

If I look at the comment in your patch it says: /* The default size is dpi dependent (96:1323x529 / 120:1058x423) */ and if I look at some of the results on test.winehq.org: webbrowser.c:1840: Test failed: size = {1323 529} (expected 1322 529) This suggests that the calculation in the ok() should be rounded up? Or maybe deal with both situations? -- Cheers, Paul.

Tourism is always a festival or holiday tourism
Who does not remember the spirits that covers the person preparing for the journey? Vacation, travel, new experiences, new encounters, new friends – all of this tourism.
Tourism day marking the end of the tourist season in the Northern hemisphere and the beginning – in the South. The holiday is celebrated in most countries of the world, tourist gatherings, celebrations and festivals.
Brightest holiday is celebrated in his home in the town of Torremolinos, in Spain, where the streets with parades in traditional costumes, the music, dance performances are held and a nightly show, theatrical performance involving horses. Celebrate everywhere — in the centre of the city, the beaches of Bajondillo, this one and Carihuela. Spaniards celebrated all tourists, due to which a small fishing town turned into a popular Spanish resort. This day is free to try traditional Spanish cuisine, such as grilled fish with wine, sangria, and a huge Spanish paella, which is served on the beach.
Guests of Madrid to this day look for the free trips and bouquets of daisies from dressed in the uniform of the flight attendants of girls standing on lawns. During the week in the main square of Madrid, especially for tourists, screens will be devoted to museums, transport, security and much more.
In Tahiti in honor of this Continue reading
How to celebrate new year in other countries?
New year in Britain can hardly be called a major holiday. Entire stock of holiday energy exhausted on Christmas day and Boxing day, and only in Scotland, New year is celebrated with a traditional scope.
Usually when people talk about New year in Scotland, just mention burning a barrel of tar – a symbol of liberation from the failures and all the bad that occurred last year. However, the Scottish new year traditions more than all European countries combined. New year in Scots – holiday Hogmanay with strong pagan roots.
His main attribute is fire, so the Scots dispersed Christmas sadness and evil spirits kilometers torchlight processions, giant bonfires and indispensable fire in home fireplaces.
The most spectacular sight –the rotation of the fireballs in the pitch darkness men in kilts to the accompaniment of bagpipes rotate above their heads something like a huge burning balls. In the darkness, visible only flying by themselves fiery sphere.
And in Scotland hundreds of dedicated citizens splashing in the waters of the Fort, thousands of Scots and tourists Kaylee dancing, singing hogmanays "the Days are long past" on the poems of Robert burns, and between the singing hug and kiss each other – thousands of friends and strangers from Continue reading

Are you a Cataract Innovator? This was the question we asked Center Leader's at this year's Annual AMSURG Center Leader Conference in October. Ophthalmology is a fast changing business with a high level of innovation. We are constantly looking for new ideas and ways to improve our quality and efficiency, so we can share them with our physician partners and Center Leaders across the country.
For 2013, AMSURG centers are projected to do over 100,000 cataracts! That makes us the largest cataract provider in the country. Early this year, the AMSURG ophthalmology team started gathering and researching innovative cataract surgery practices from across the country. Our goal is to offer your center the most innovative processes in cataract surgery, ranging from patient communication to the patient post op call.
For the next year, we will roll out a new module each quarter. The first module, Patient Communication, was presented at the Center Leader Conference with very positive feedback. This module included ideas ranging from online pre op screening to automated surgery reminders. Details are available on both Center Connect and Partner Connect.
Each quarter, Center Leaders will complete an online survey of their current practices. This allows Center Connect to provide customized recommendations and material for each Center. We encourage every center to create a Cataract Innovation task force, to keep the process moving ahead.
I encourage each of you to meet with your Center Leaders to discuss Cataract Innovation. Explore ways that your center can benefit from this program, or even better, provide us with new ideas to add to the program. Sharing best practices can make every center stronger.
At the Center Leader Conference in 2014 we will recap the program, share ideas and get feedback on what was learned over the past 12 months. Then once again, we will ask our Center Leaders…..Are you a Cataract Innovator?

Genre: Supernatural / Fantasy / Adventure
Year Published: 1993
Year Read: 2012
Series: The Sandman #8
Publisher: Vertigo Comics
Now just looking at the title of this volume "The Sandman: Worlds' End," you might be thinking that this might be the last volume of Neil Gaiman's fantastic "Sandman" series, but it is not the final volume! "The Sandman: Worlds' End" is actually a series of stories woven by several characters in this volume who are stuck at an inn called Worlds' End. Be prepared for some engaging storytelling from the great Neil Gaiman in this classic volume!
In the eighth volume of the "Sandman" series which is called "Worlds' End," a young man named Brant Tucker and his friend Charlene Mooney ended up in a strange inn called "Worlds' End" after they both get in a car crash during a snowstorm and tried to find shelter from the storm. It turns out that the inhabitants of the strange inn are all characters from mythical tales and all the characters ended up telling their stories that are either about their actual lives or dreams they would like to have come true. There are a total of seven stories in this volume and they are:
Worlds' End: Sequences at the Inn – illustrated by Bryan Talbot and Mark Buckingham
A Tale of Two Cities – illustrated by Alec Stevens
Cluracan's Tale – illustrated by John Watkiss
Hob's Leviathan – illustrated by Michael Zulli and Dick Giordano
The Golden Boy – illustrated by Michael Allred
Cerements – illustrated by Shea Anton Pensa and Vince Locke
Worlds' End – illustrated by Bryan Talbot, Mark Buckingham, Dick Giordano, Steve Leialoha, Gary Amaro and Tony Harris
For the past few days, I have been reading most of the volumesfrom Neil Gaiman's popular "Sandman" series and I have enjoyed every single one! I have also read the other volumes in the "Sandman" series that mainly contained short stories of the Endless' adventures in exploring other people's dreams which included "Dream Country" and "Fables and Reflections." Even though both "Dream Country" and "Fables and Reflections" were enjoyable reads, I felt that "Worlds' End" was the best out of all of the short story collections in the "Sandman" series! I loved the way that Neil Gaiman had woven each of the stories told by each character in the story into one story that involves the secrets of the inn that all the characters ended up at and how the stories that each character told reflected the dreams that everyone wished were to happen. My favorite stories in this volume were probably "A Tale of Two Cities," "Cerements," and "Cluracan's Tale." I loved the idea that Neil Gaiman presented in the story "A Tale of Two Cities" as the story implies that the cities can dream of what they want too and it was a bit interesting and a bit frightening hearing about what would happen if the cities wake up, although we were never told what would happen and it is that sense of mystery and yearning to know the answer that really grasped my attention in this story. I also loved both "Cluracan's Tale" and "Cerements" because they were really creepy stories that dealt with the dead, especially in "Cerements" as the main characters actually dig up dead bodies! Michael Allred, Gary Amaro, Mark Buckingham, Dick Giordano, Tony Harris, Steve Leialoha, vince Locke, Shea Anton Pensa, Alec Stevens, Bryan Talbot, John Watkiss, and Michael Zulli's artwork were true works of masterpieces as each artist contributed dramatic artwork that flows nicely with each story. I especially loved the artwork done by Alec Stevens in the story "A Tale of Two Cities" as the artwork resembles an 80s artwork vibe as the characters look a bit blocky and there are only mainly black, white, yellow and blue colorings in the artwork, which gives the story a distinct feel.
Like the other volumes in the "Sandman" series, there is some disturbing content in this volume, especially in the story "Cerements" where there is a scene where a young man named Petrefax witnesses an air burial where birds peck at the innards of a dead man while Master Hermas, the man performing the burial, takes out the dead man's innards and lay it out for the birds to feed on. This scene and the other scenes that deal with death might be a bit morbid for some readers to handle, so if you do not like scenes with blood and gore, then you might want to skim over these scenes.
Overall, "The Sandman: Worlds' End" is easily one of the best short story collections to ever come out of Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series and it is definitely worth reading over and over again!

Destination of the Month Shropshire
(Click here to see previous Destinations of the Month)
At first glance Shropshire is full of contradictions.
It is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution yet it is an unspoiled rural idyll.
It is home to two of the most beautiful medieval towns in England, yet one gave birth to every skyscraper in the world, not forgetting one of the greatest thinkers of all time, Charles Darwin.
The other set the pace for the country's Slow Food movement and there is the small market town which became the very inspiration for the modern Olympics.
Shropshire may be considered one of England's quiet counties but do not be deceived as there is so much to see and do.
With over 90 places to visit including historic houses and castles with beautiful gardens, the famous Ironbridge and museums and even RAF Cosford for the aviation enthusiasts, there really is something for everyone.
Shropshire is also superb walking country with over 3,500 miles of rights of way underfoot.
Follow in the footsteps of famous writers, explore historic sites which have changed the world, stroll from the stations along the Severn Valley Railway and find remote castles and hill forts peopled with the ghosts of Celts and pagans. There are long distance and circular walks that pick up villages and inns, sights and places of interest. Trace the history of the market towns along town trails.

Courtnay Veazey – Social Emotional Learning
I am the Middle School Guidance Counselor and Learning Specialist for Lausanne Collegiate School in Memphis, TN. My counseling program at Lausanne focuses on supporting students' social and emotional development as they seek their own journeys. I collaborate with students' teachers and families to foster a holistic approach for meeting students' needs. Our counseling program also offers short-term individual and group counseling. Prior to working at Lausanne, I worked with Shelby County Schools as a middle school counselor and with Youth Villages as a clinical mental health counselor/clinical liaison for adolescents.
I am a National Certified Counselor with practice areas in career development, childhood and adolescence, clinical mental health, counselor education, and school. I earned my Master of Science in Counselor Education and Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Mississippi State University. I also have post-graduate training specific to school counseling from the University of Memphis.
I am passionate about intentionally integrating social and emotional learning into the natural rhythms experienced in educational settings. Social and emotional learning can be as directive as spending ten minutes each school day teaching self-management, social, and communication skills or starting each class period with a mindful moment. Social and emotional learning can also occur by incorporating student-led parent/teacher conferences, building authentic connections with students, and using a strengths-based approach to understanding students.
The research outcomes of incorporating social and emotional development into schools include:
- improved academic outcomes
- more effective use of social emotional skills
- improved attitudes toward self and others
- enhanced prosocial behaviors
- decreased conduct problems
- better ability to manage emotional distress

No Abiding City: The Rt Revd Michael Lewis
No Abiding City: Christian presence, problems and possibilities in the Middle East." A Lenten lecture at John Keble, Mill Hill by the Rt Revd Michael Lewis, Bishop of Cyprus and the Gulf in the Episcopal Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. Sponsored by Christians Aware, Church Mission Society and US.
Jesus' Great Expectations: A High-Demand Faith
Twelve years ago, when our son Michael was 11, we had a difficult decision to make. Which secondary school would we choose? We didn't have a lot of choice. There was Magna Carta or… Magna Carta. And at the time it didn't have the excellent reputation it has now. Louise was leaving Charters that Summer so we could not benefit from the sibling rule. We decided to apply for Magna Carta, Charters and Ranelagh. Not surprisingly we were turned down for Charters and Ranelagh as we lived outside the normal catchment area. Moving house was not an option. So we appealed – we had nothing to loose. We went to the appeals hearing at Ranelagh and discovered there were about 20-25 other families present. Having never done it before I didn't know what to expect. Quite soon after the hearing began, the lady chairman asked the appeals panel, made up of several clergy, to retire to another room. I tried not to look at the other parents. I felt bad that we were competing with other families for a handful of places that might be granted on appeal. All would have good reasons for wanting to send their child to the school. After what seemed an age, the panel returned. The chairman made an announcement. The appeals had been upheld – all of them. The chairman closed the meeting.

In our beaches tour, boat trips around the south coast of Menorca, there are many things to do.
This tour lasts 3'5 hours and you can do it both in the morning and in the afternoon, according to your preference. As always you can share the boat or enjoy it exclusively.
We start from Cala Torret, next to the famous fishing village of Binibeca, so the first attraction we found is to see this picturesque fishing village from the sea, a luxury to be enjoyed as a whole.
From here we visit all the coves in the area, the most difficult to access by land and which are most enjoyed anchored in a boat.
In our beaches tour you will discover:
- Ses Olles
- Es Caló Blanc
- Biniparratx
Ses Olles
Also known as Caló Fondo is a crescent-shaped cove sheltered and protected from most winds, which is why many people recognize it as the natural pool of the area since its waters are always calm. It has no sand but flat rocky platforms with stairs to the sea. The bottom of this cove is white sand with some posidonia spots which makes it a unique enclave for snorkeling, being able to easily observe a great diversity of typical fish of the area. We have all the material on board so you can enjoy it.
Es Caló Blanc
With its only five or six meters wide is the smallest beach in Menorca. It is an enclave with a totally crystalline and turquoise water typical of the beaches of the south coast. The spectacular color of its waters means that on most summer days when there is no wind it seems that one is bathing in a pool. The little beach of Es Caló Blanc is so small that people usually place themselves on the rocks around it, that's why it is much more comfortable to be able to set up on a boat.
The most complete beach in terms of the diversity of activities offered. In addition to its incomparable beauty, it is a well-known snorkeling area of Menorca due to the high quality of its waters and seabed. For the more adventurous there are several points where you can jump to the sea from the rocks and for the most curious who want to get to the beach you will see caves that are ancient necropolis.
In short, our beaches tour turns out to be a very complete boat trip in Menorca, where you can enjoy astonishing spots while doing all sorts of activities.

Carolena, 36
What does a production manager do?
Carolena is a New Media Production Manager for the Australian Children's Television Foundation. "My job is a few jobs stuffed into one. I'm a production manager, web developer and trainer," she says. Her primary role is to manage the production of an educational software package called Kahootz. "It's 3D multimedia for children aged between seven to 15," Carolena explains. The Kahootz website is also an online community where students and teachers share information in a creative way.
What does a typical working day involve?
Typical tasks involve monitoring and maintaining the Kahootz website by checking the helpdesk, managing content and building the website community. She also produces a monthly email newsletter, and checks the Kahootz statistics. "It's very Big Brother," she laughs, "but I check to see if new teachers or schools have signed up and how the site is being used - like what people have been downloading or uploading."
Carolena consults with graphic designers, printers and CD replicators (companies that burn CDs) to maintain the supply of CDs and work out the cheapest ways of producing the software without the quality suffering. She also visits schools to demonstrate how Kahootz can be used in conjunction with the curriculum.
How did you become a production manager?
Carolena's background is a patchwork of careers. She studied art, design and ceramics, before working as a stage manager, and then a lighting operator. She started a children's theatre company, worked in the French circus, lectured in web design and worked as animator. "Having a planned path doesn't work for everyone," Carolena says. "Having the guts to give things a go and try different things is part of it too."
What are some of the pros and cons of the job?
"Visiting the schools and talking with the kids who are using the software is really fun because you see the end result," Carolena enthuses. "There's also lots of variety - I'm not just stuck at a keyboard all day." Travel is also as a positive and she mentions upcoming trips to Tokyo and London. Lowlights are few, but Carolena says: "It can be stressful. You've got more responsibility and accountability as a manager and pressure to deliver deadlines".
What are the people you work with like?
"I work with designers, programmers, Heads of Departments, marketers, teachers, students, the Department of Education and parliamentarians. We have to present the software to pollies quite a lot," she says.
What sort of skills and qualities do you need?
"You need to be able to multitask and be organised," Carolena remarks. Other useful qualities include being an effective communicator, a capable public speaker and having strong writing skills and an understanding of budgeting. "Budget skills don't have anything to do with being good at maths. It's based more on thinking creatively about planning, costing and time-lining."
Are there any tips for getting a job as a production manager?
"It's impossible to say 'I'm going to get a job as a production manager'. It's a ladder up and an accumulated skill set." Carolena suggests doing anything that involves planning a project and working it out from inception to production. "When I was at the theatre company I was the production liaison person," she says, "But jobs like being a production assistant in TV or radio, or a media producer will get you in. Even doing layout for the student newspaper or working on the website. All the skills will eventually add up."

Battery life is an important features that you will look before buying a smart phone. Latest technologies are invented to prolong the battery life. With certain tips and tricks you can easily increase battery life of your android smart phone. Higher-resolution displays, big AMOLED and LCD screens, lots of running apps, live wallpaper etc are battery hungry. They drain out the battery more quickly. Some smart phones comes with built in Battery saver like "extreme power mode" in the HTC One M9 and "ultra power saving" in the Samsung Galaxy S6.
I have experimented with some battery saving apps. And came into conclusion that some of them really works. Most of them kills the ongoing tasks. But the task killers does not help to prolong the battery life rather the task will restart and consume more power. And you should not use more than one app of same kind. They can conflict.
Most of the recent batteries are Lithium battery. They do not have memories that means you don't need to fully charge or discharge them at the beginning, and partial charging is enough throughout their life.Its really better to partially charge them for example from 20 percent to 90 percent than to fully charge and fully drain them.
Tips to Prolong Battery Life:
Use dark theme, dark wallpaper for display. Don't use display auto-brightness rather lower the brightness. A shorter screen timeout setting saves battery. Turn off smart features like air gestures, smart scrolling and the like, especially if you have a Samsung. Turn off vibrate and haptic feedback to save battery. Set "sleep times" or "blocking mode" to switch off Wi-Fi and mobile data when you don't need them. Switching to airplane mode or turning off features like Bluetooth, NFC and GPS can eke out a few more minutes of life in a pinch.
According to https://www.androidauthority.com/
Any battery saving app that functions as a 'task killer' should be avoided at all costs. Android is a multitasking operating system, and, as such, keeps apps in the memory so that they can be accessed quickly. Android has been designed use up most of the available memory, and keeps often used apps in the background. If a manager (app) comes and closes them, they will simply reinitialize, and consume a lot of battery in the process.
Common Smart phone Myths Thats are not True
As the smart phone grows , some rumors or myths or misconception are also present here. Today i will tell you some of them. With the advancement of technology these smart phone myths are debunked.
Top 5 Android Apps to Prolong Battery Life:
Deep Sleep Battery Saver
Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off. According to LifeHacker: "Plenty of apps save your battery life, but this one takes the idea to a whole new level"
During deepsleep mode, Wifi, 3G are turned off, background apps are stopped. Therefore, most apps are not working, including Facebook, Google Service, etc,. It then constantly wakes up in order to download email, sync Facebook status, etc,. It's defined by deepsleep frequency and woke up duration. Personally this is my favorite.
Greenify was made for rooted device. But now it also works for non-rooted android mobiles. Set the working mode in the settings option.
Never should your phone or tablet become slower and battery hungrier after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your device can run almost as smoothly and lastingly as it did the first day you had it!
Greenify help you identify and put the misbehaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in an unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground, similar to iOS apps! I am now using Greenify.
JuiceDefender – battery saver
Its kind of complex app. If you dont understand, just use the default settings.
JuiceDefender – Battery Saver is a powerful yet easy to use power manager app specifically designed to extend the battery life of your Android device. Packed with smart functions, it automatically and transparently manages the most battery draining components, like 3G/4G connectivity and WiFi. The _preset modes_ are the perfect way to gain precious hours of battery life
There are many others apps but i dont trust them. Here are some list:
DU Battery Saver
Snapdragon Battery Guru
Battery Doctor
Thats all for now. Let me know which app are you using to get the most of your android phone battery.

If I remember correctly, 6 months ago I made a promise to myself not to add domains to my collections. Well, I broke that promise again. It's just too hard to keep that promise when you're an addict. This is a different addiction so for sure won't affect financially and physically (a little maybe) waaaa.
Most of my domains are registered under Godaddy, some at Name Cheap while my sisters domains are at Big Rock and JustDomains registrar. Anyway, i added couple of niche blog and domain to my existing blog domains and then I bought another contest and giveaway niche blog from Techie She. Am thinking of getting active again at online contest and giveaways when I decided to buy this blog and domain. I would like to thank Techie She though for selling this blog with a PR1 as bonus. When I bought the blog, Google made a page rank update and so generous to give this blog a PR1. Thank you so much She.
Moreover, just this week I got two more domains, and one of them was courtesy of Nita. The godaddy was having a promo and was accepting credit card only as payment. So, I asked Nita to buy the domain for me and I'll pay her but fortunately, the godaddy was having a $1 domain sale and she got the domain for a buck. She gave it to me as free. Last night I made an impulsive decision of changing one of my existing blog domain to a new one and give the old one to someone I know. I already bought the domains and thanks to godaddy promo code got discount from that domain.
If you plan to buy new domains, renew or buy hosting at Godaddy.com. Check out this Godaddy Promo Code website first to get discount.

In 7th grade, a girl on my school bus asked me how she could lose weight. I was taken aback. I think I said something to the effect of, "Uuuhmmm I dunno… Sorry." This is not a post about how to lose weight, but it's what I wish I would have said to that 7th grade girl on the school bus. Since then, I hope she heard a message like this one.
I don't "diet."
This is because I believe that dieting tells us to stop listening to our body, to give it less than it is asking for, to label foods as 'okay to eat' and 'not okay to eat,' all with the goal of addressing "problem areas" of our appearance. Dieting assumes that the way my body looks right now is not enough: not enough to be beautiful, to be successful, to be healthy, and to be happy.
I want confidence, happiness, and health as much as the next person. What I don't want is for those things to be dependent on whether I ate pizza or salad for dinner.
To be clear, I see dieting as a specific phenomenon that is separate from other attempts to eat healthy foods. Personally, I try to think about what I'm putting in my body to promote my own wellness and energy levels. I start to become concerned when the primary goal for changing eating habits comes from a desire to look a certain way. This can be a slippery and dangerous slope which, for some, can lead to disordered eating.
I could write a 20 page essay on the multitude of ways that our culture promotes insecurities and unhealthy relationships with our bodies, but there are many other writers who can do so better than me.
So, I'll just say this: it is never helpful, never healthy, for us to engage in behaviors out of hatred for our bodies. Our pursuits of health will be so much more effective when we act out of a desire to care for (rather than simply shrink) the vessels we live in.

Can an Employer Withdraw a Job Offer if You Counteroffer?
You've just landed a job offer—congratulations! But what happens when the salary isn't quite what you expected, or the benefits aren't all that great? It can be tricky territory, as no one wants to start off a new job with any negativity. Beyond that, many job applicants are concerned that they might jeopardize an offer if they issue a counteroffer to an employer, who may just decide to withdraw the job offer.
Does this sound like your situation? Take a deep breath and read on so you can increase your chances of submitting a successful counteroffer.
Understanding Employment at Will
"Employment at will" is an important concept to understand, and, in all states except Montana, individuals are employed at will by legal statute. It means employers can discharge workers any time without any reason or explanation. Of course, that also means employees can quit at any time as well.
Unfortunately, that also means an employer can legally withdraw your job offer if he or she feels put off by your request for a higher salary or better benefits. So, if you're not happy with the offer, take a little time to gather your thoughts and then move forward carefully.
Exceptions to Employment at Will
Several other states provide greater latitude in their public policy regarding exceptions to employment at will. In most states, the employment at will principle extends to cases where job offers are withdrawn under the assumption that the employer could fire an employee at any point in time after the hire anyway.
In some states, candidates may be protected by a legal statute called "promissory estoppel," which means a promise that is enforceable by law. This type of statute can be used to defend a job seeker when he or she is negatively impacted as a result of a withdrawn offer.
For example, a candidate may have lost his or her original job after giving notice to their prior employer, or he or she may have incurred moving expenses to relocate for the new job. There are other exceptions that can protect applicants when a job offer has been rescinded.
Employers cannot withdraw an offer for discriminatory reasons, such as race, religion, sexual orientation, age, or gender. Also, if a contract for services has been signed, it will supersede employment at will and protect the candidate.
How to Successfully Counteroffer
Although the situation varies on a case-by-case basis, your best bet is to avoid a negative response from the employer in the first place. It's not a comfortable way to start a new job, and the manner in which you make a counteroffer can impact the chances that an employer will react adversely and withdraw the original offer. Then you won't have the job at all.
The first step, before you say anything, is to know what the job's salary range might be in your location or an area with similar economics.
Before asking for higher pay or better benefits, be sure to thank your prospective employer for the offer and express your excitement about the position. If you're not prepared to make an immediate counteroffer right away, ask the employer how much time you have to consider the offer. Go about the conversation with a smile, and be polite and professional at all times. Make sure he or she knows you want to be part of the team and the success of the company is important to you.
Also, you should be prepared to defend your request with reasons as to why you deserve increased compensation. Even if you're insulted by a low offer, don't show it and don't say anything in anger.
Instead, calmly and kindly explain why you're making a counteroffer. Be careful not to represent your counteroffer as an ultimatum unless you are prepared to leave the bargaining table without that job.
If Your Job Offer Is Withdrawn
Despite your best intentions (and good manners), the employer may take the job offer off the table. If you do end up finding yourself in a sticky situation following a counteroffer, remember that you can consult an attorney in your state to determine if you are legally entitled to any protections following the withdrawal of a job offer.

Nature's Messengers
Flowers are Nature's messengers - reminders of an unspeakable beauty.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread,
places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer
and give strength to the body and soul.
- John Muir
Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty
out-values all the utilities of the world.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers,
the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters,
and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.
- John Lubbock
Flowers always make people better, happier,
and more helpful; they are sunshine,
food and medicine for the soul.
- Luther Burbank
We need to find God, and he cannot
be found in noise and restlessness.
God is the friend of silence.
See how nature - trees, flowers, grass-
grows in silence; see the stars,
the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...
We need silence to be able to touch souls.
- Mother Teresa

Long time readers know I periodically get sidetracked with good music to play at my funeral. I know I definitely want Rubberband Man, so my friend Ron can cartwheel down the aisle. But, I digress.
This song came on today at mile TWO. Mile 2, and I was dying. And I thought, well, if I die right HERE, this song will be playing, and surely someone will think: how poetic. Perfect song to die to. I've long tagged Spirit in the Sky to be playing as my casket is carried out. Or my ashes. Or whatever. I've been accused of being a Drama Queen. Deal with it.
But, when the song comes on when you're running? Scary. Especially because today was the first time I tried to do five miles since the LA Marathon. Kim and I broke up weeks before…and we start together, but she is faster now, and with my age…I seem to be slowing down. A lot.
We started on our familiar
death walk trek to our start, a half mile away. We started talking about how there is no coaching, no social media, nothing on this new training to keep us motivated. I had a headache. I started to worry again: could I just RUN? I mean really just run and keep my times and motivate myself. (I've been talking about this for weeks)…
Mile 1 was around a 10:32 pace, but it got much uglier. By Mile 2 through Spring Creek, I wanted to DIE. I mean it. I was tired, and with the pounds I added post marathon, I felt like those Biggest Loser contestants carrying their weight in backpacks. I saw my reflection and the spare tire, and thought. Oh no. No you didn't.
And then the song comes on, and Kim darts off in a different direction…and I just kept plodding along. Over to Vermeulen Park for mile 3, water stop…and just decided NOT to die. Not to stop. And there she came, back again, catching me. I said "Let's Stop!" She just smiled, shook her head no, and kept running. And I decided to go as much as I could, as LONG as I could.
So, base building is almost over. I've selected the NORCAL Marathon for my Fall Marathon. Next week, I start training. But today. Today, I didi 5 miles in 59:17. Sorta like almost 12:00 minute miles. Close.
If I die while Norman plays his Spirit In The Sky Song? Eh, that stuff never happens. But, if it does? Know I was doing something I loved 🙂 It would make a good movie, anyway.
Just do it. Even if you're slow

Logan Paul and Chloe Bennet are setting the record straight!
The two opened up about their romance on Paul's vlog on Thursday after being caught kissing on vacation in Hawaii over Fourth of July weekend.
RELATED: Chloe Bennet Vacations With 'Valley Girl' Co-Star Logan Paul After Reportedly Splitting from Austin Nichols
In a video titled "IS CHLOGAN REAL… ?" the pair addressed the PDA pics and the status of their relationship.
"This is so awkward," said Bennet, who last dated actor Austin Nichols.
"We woke up today and we were plastered all over the internet with pictures like this," Paul shared, before displaying photos of them making out in the ocean. "I'm very transparent. Chloe and I are friends, for sure. In my opinion, friends sometimes make out."
"They touch butts," the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." star agreed. "I kiss all my friends."
"This puts us in a position where you're maybe forced to label what this is, but we don't know what it is. We did the movie, 'Valley Girl', together, that's where we first met," Paul explained. "Long story short, is Chlogan real? I don't know. She doesn't know."
RELATED: Chloe Bennet Says Upcoming Episodes of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Are Going to 'Blow People's Minds'
Later in the vlog, the co-stars experience the reality of their now-public romance.
"Everyone's being really mean and aggressive online and could we all just chill on both sides?" Bennet asked.
"We were keeping this private," Paul said. "I don't know if you guys noticed, but in the vlogs, I've been kind of keeping her out. It's an intimate thing. You guys can probably relate. When you have a crush on someone and you like them, and then a paparazzi pops you, that f**king sucks, dude!"

Paul, 22, and Bennet, 25, end the video by poking fun at the headlines with a proposal.
"Chloe Bennet, will you marry me?" the social media star asks, before Bennet replies with a resounding, "No."

text: What is load calculation and how does it factor in to my new air conditioner? Posted July 7, 2016 When the time comes for an air conditioner replacement, a load calculation determined by a professional is an important step in making certain that you're choosing the right system for your home. Every home has its own specific demands on a cooling system. Installing an inappropriately sized system will negatively affect your comfort, and your utility expenses. So what factors into a home's load calculation? Our experts take into account a variety factors when determining the load calculation and the size of system your home needs. We look at factors such as: the climate of your area, square footage of your home, design, insulation levels, roof type, size and location of windows, sun exposure and the habits of and schedule of everyone inside the home. We want to match you with the air conditioner replacement that matches up with your home, and bigger isn't always ideal. A system that is bigger than necessary may make a number of concerns. It could cost you more money to use. An oversized system doesn't have to work as long so it will continually be warming up and cooling down, which causes more wear and tear on your system. A unit that doesn't work as long also won't dehumidify the air, which may diminish your comfort. If your system is too small, you'll have trouble keeping your home at the set temperature. Ensuring correct air flow is the key to your home's comfort. A professional room by room load calculation will help to be sure that your air conditioner, ductwork and registers are all running in sync to keep you comfortable. Load calculation was once based exclusively on square footage, and while that is a piece of the puzzle, there are many variables we factor in to find the best products for your home. Keeping your home comfortable while maximizing efficiency is our specialty. When you reach the point where you're looking into an air conditioner replacement, give our pros a call at 540-369-3790.

The Giants defense knew it would be a tough test today against the Seattle Seahawks, the NFC's top team that bolsters not only a strong running game, but also an offense that effectively utilizes the passing game. However, they had no idea that stepping onto the field at MetLife Stadium, they would have to battle not only a team predicted to make it to the Super Bowl, but also their own offense.
With five turnovers on the day, all interceptions by Eli Manning, the Giants defense was put in difficult situations on the field, countless times and although the final score was a blowout, 23-0, the blame cannot be on the defense. a unit that showed the only sign of life in a game that was just painful to watch.
It was a valiant effort, but the finger has to be pointed at the mistakes by the offense that put the defenses' back up against the wall.
The defensive unit was able to contain Marshawn Lynch who finished the day with just 47 yards on 16 carries with one short yardage TD, while the capability of Russell Wilson to escape the pocket for long gains was mostly absent.
Antrel Rolle was able to pick off Wilson, just his seventh of the year, but again, Manning and the Giants offense struggled to generate any sort of momentum and produced another three-and-out.
Yes, the Giants defense did allow 327 yards of total offense with 134 yards on the ground, but for the most part, the secondary did good job of containing the Seattle passing game.
Wilson completed 18 passes for 206 yards, but no receiver had over 100 yards on the day, and Lynch finished the game as the leading receiver in terms of yards with 73 yards on six catches.
Another small glimmer of light was the Giants defensive line that was able to fight through, and find some pressure on Wilson, something that has been difficult for teams with the explosiveness that the second-year QB has.
By the end of the day, the Giants had tallied four sacks, but with no production from their offense, it was an uphill battle that was doomed from the start.
Countless times, the Giants defense would bend, but not break and force Seattle to settle for a field goal, instead of giving up a touchdown. But in the end it didn't matter, with an offense as dead as a doornail, the 13-0 lead by Seattle at halftime, made it seem like it was 130-0.

Jane Mosbacher Morris has dedicated her career to tackling some of the world's most complex social issues. From working in the U.S. Department of State's Counterterrorism Office to serving on numerous advisory boards such as USA Cares, Women LEAD and Speak Your Silence, advising on difficult issues ranging from child sexual abuse to post-9/11 veteran support; it seems that no challenge is too intimidating for Morris.
Extreme poverty has been one of the most pressing global issues of this millennium and finding solutions that are culturally sensitive and empowering, rather than prescriptive and victimizing, is no easy task. Yet Morris has found a remedy with her business TO THE MARKET (TTM), a handmade goods company that connects local artisans in need of income, to customers desiring social impact goods.
Believing that one of the essential ingredients to poverty reduction is women's empowerment and economic independence, Morris has connected with existing NGOs to identify female survivors of abuse, conflict and disease to hire as artisans. The survivor-made goods are then promoted through TO THE MARKET's online store, pop-up shops, and retail partnerships. TO THE MARKET not only offers these victims vocational skills-training, but professional and mental health resources as well as a platform to share their stories. Five years since the company's inception and thousands of women have become economically empowered with over thirty artisan cooperatives operating in twenty countries around the globe.
While Morris' life-long commitment to helping the less fortunate is commendable, her ability to transform intention into action in order to cultivate lasting positive change is truly inspirational. By way of her own empowerment she started a company that can empower others; whether it be an individual victim of conflict, an ethical fashion consumer or an entire impoverished community. We caught up with this humanitarian to learn more about TO THE MARKET, her experience running her own business and her favorite ethical gifts for the holiday season.
Give me a brief background of TO THE MARKET and how it came to be.
TO THE MARKET's mission is to connect the incredible capacity and skills of the artisan industry with businesses and consumers seeking social impact products. This allows us to create and sustain jobs for vulnerable communities while delivering in-demand product that is ethically produced. We connect with a global network of ethical producers in over 30 countries, helping them scale by facilitating sales to businesses and consumers, amplifying their stories and building their capacities. I launched TO THE MARKET after visiting two extraordinary social enterprises in Kolkata, India that were employing human trafficking survivors. There was something so different about the survivors being employed than the many beneficiaries of social services I had interacted with in my previous work. The pride and confidence in their spirit reflected the fact that they recognized their self-worth. I attribute this confidence and peace to the dignity of work which is central to our mission.
What made you decide to sell ethically-sourced fashion?
I wanted to help vulnerable persons, sadly most of whom are women, achieve more economic independence and began exploring industries that could have a large-scale impact and thrive in the developing world. Simultaneously, I observed the consumer demand shift towards products that have strong storytelling elements and are ethically-sourced. I found that through ethically-sourced products I could increase sales for the communities with whom we partner. This enables the artisans to sustainably grow their businesses and economically empower themselves and their families. Recognizing the impact it could make and the market that exists for it, ethically-sourced fashion became a clear choice for creating meaningful change and providing beautiful products.
How does your business model cultivate empowerment from the bottom-up?
Our business model cultivates empowerment from the bottom-up because we don't get paid (as a business) unless we create economic opportunity for our partners on the ground. It truly is trickle up economics!
When did you realize you wanted to commit your career to improving the lives of the marginalized?
My parents were really wonderful in helping to model what a meaningful life looks like, and it's centered around service to others. I specifically became passionate about empowering women in college when I came to better understand the number of women and girls with hearts, and minds, like mine, that didn't have the same opportunities to pursue their dreams.
How has your previous work experience translated to what you do at TO THE MARKET?
My first job was working on counterterrorism at the U.S. Department of State. This exposed me to the populations, mostly composed of women, around the world that lacked control of basic decisions within their own lives. Through this experience, I began to understand the importance of economic independence and opportunity in having agency over one's own life. This understanding was solidified during my time in the Secretary's Office for Global Women's Issues, at the Columbia Business School and at the McCain Institute for International Leadership. Each position I've had has pushed me out of my comfort zone, forced me to learn on the job, and contributed bits and pieces to the way that I operate at TO THE MARKET.
What have been some of your greatest challenges in running your own business and how did you overcome them?
Since TO THE MARKET has artisan partners and ethical producers that are mainly based in developing countries, we often face dynamics that are outside of our control. For example, we have a number of partners in Haiti that are producing for us currently. When Hurricane Matthew hit in Fall 2016, we wanted to first check on the safety and well-being of our partners. We then moved on to exploring how production and shipping would be impacted, if at all. We work to overcome these challenging operational dynamics by putting the wellbeing of our partners first and then over-communicating to our clients about how what we have promised them may or may not be impacted.
What has been one of your most rewarding experiences since starting TO THE MARKET?
The biggest highlight for me has been watching some of our partners significantly scale while working with us. Every time we bring a purchase order to one of our partners it is a rewarding experience, knowing that we are creating more opportunity for vulnerable populations and helping to change lives.
What does a typical work day entail for you?
The one constant of my day is a healthy amount of caffeine, but that's about the extent of my daily ritual as when you are running a startup you wear many hats. My day can consist of anything from meeting with a director of corporate social responsibility at a Fortune 500 company to editing a blog post. Everything I do is 24/7, with the exception of sleep, but it's wildly rewarding!
What do you do to stay balanced?
My balance comes from my wonderful support system. I have an incredible network of friends and family that I love spending time with and the TO THE MARKET team is a blast! Other activities that help keep me sane include nightly devotionals, listening to music, and adding dreamy hotels to my bucket list.
You have served on many advisory boards and seem to have a lot of wisdom, but who has been your biggest mentor?
Working in the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues, my boss, Ambassador Melanne Verveer, taught me about how to have a significant presence in the public sphere but also care deeply and genuinely about your team and their respective careers. At the McCain Institute I was able to shadow Cindy McCain and understand how she managed all of the overwhelming demands on her time. It was really interesting to see how she was able to juggle so many competing interests trying to get her involved in different humanitarian initiatives.

Financial Aid for Online Courses
Contrary to the popular misconception, you can receive financial aid for online colleges and online college courses. This means that the already minimal cost of online classes just got even cheaper!
Federal Aid
Federal aid comes from the government. This is money that individuals who are U.S. citizens (or have the proper forms) can access to help cover the costs of their education. The FAFSA is the most primary form to apply for financial aid, and includes subsidized loans, which are loans that don't accrue interest during your education period (and six months afterward); unsubsidized loans, which are loans that do accrue interest; federal grants, which are basically free money -- provided you meet the requirements; and of course, there are Pell grants, Perkin's loans, and a host of others that all derive from FAFSA.
Non-Federal Student Loans
These are loans which come from banks and major lending institutions. They allow students and parents access to a lot more money, but they also require good credit and have higher interest rates. Exmaples of non-federal student loans would be the Parent PLUS loan from Sallie Mae, or private loans from banks such as Chase, and Bank of America. The benefits of these is that you can often use a single, consolidated loan to pay for your education.
Scholarships & Grants
Scholarships are monetary awards given to students, usually by business or individuals for specific purposes, like tuition, books, or housing costs. For online college students many of these needs are irrelevant, however there are still a host of scholarsihps available to help individuals receive an education. Check with your college or university or the Internet for a list of available ones.
Grants are similar to scholarships, with a few key differences. Grants are more flexible, because they can be used for anything from housing costs to tuition, and are usually awarded through governmental or nonprofit institutions.
Both grants and scholarships have to be applied for, often with essays or merit-based qualifications. The competition can be stiff, since the money is often finite and only available at certain times.
Tutition Reimbursement
If your field of study relates to your current employment, you could be lucky enough to receive financial reimbursement from your boss! Employers are constantly looking to increase the quality of their staff, and training in-house can be time consuming or not practically feasible. Employees who seek to further training in their field can expect their companies to see this as a good investment. A further benefit is that employers are likely to be sympathetic when scheduling time for you to work around your classes! But be sure to check with your boss before making any decisions, as different employers have different requirements and regulations.
Be sure to take advantage of any financial aid resources available to you, as these will likely allow you to focus less on work and more on school. A few shorter shifts while getting more credits ensures that you spend less time getting your degree; and that means you can get back to work faster, with more money saved up, less debt, and best of all: Your education is going to pay dividends on top of everything else!

At CatFoodDB, we calculate two ratings for each product. These values are then combined to create the the overall product score.
The first rating is based on the product's ingredient list. Each cat food product is assigned a value from (low) to (high) paws. Generally speaking, higher ratings are rewarded to those products that contain quality proteins and limit the amount of cheap fillers in their most plentiful ingredients.
The second rating is based on our analysis of the product's published nutritional information. Higher rated products will contain more protein and fewer carbohydrates than average. Each product is assigned a score from to paws based on this nutritional analysis. Please note that the nutritional values used are only an approximation and may not represent "as fed" values due to variations in manufacturing and the laws that specify how these values are reported.
Finally, the nutrition and ingredient ratings are added together to create a score ranging from 1 - 10 paws for the evaluated product.
Please note that although a high score may be indicative of a higher-quality product it is not a guarantee. Similarly, a low score does not necessarily indicate an inferior product. The best food for your cat is the one that meets their individual needs.

Generic drug companies have long salivated over the arrival of 2012. Lexapro, an anti-depressant medication, loses patent exclusivity in the United States next week, opening up a $2.8-billion market to generic competition. And it is just one of many. This year, branded drugs that brought in $34-billion of revenues for their respective manufacturers in 2010 will lose exclusivity in the U.S. -- the biggest ever shift to generic medication, says Credit Suisse. And that does not include Lipitor, formerly the world's top-selling drug, which lost its patent last year. In Europe, Teva, the world's largest generics company by sales, thinks the overall generic market will grow up to 3 per cent this year.
Of course, the 2012 patent cliff is no secret. Generics companies are readying themselves. Last year, there were six acquisitions in the industry, and seven in 2010; more than any year in the preceding six.
So it may appear strange that global generics companies trade at just 10 times their expected 2012 earnings, about two-fifths lower than their average over the past decade. One reason is competition. Of the top 22 product launches (by sales of the branded drug) this year, almost three-quarters will see at least two generic competitors, says JPMorgan. Lexapro expects to have 10 generic competitors by the end of the year. On top of that, pharmaceutical companies have begun to compete. Pfizer has kept hold of one-third of Lipitor's market share through aggressive discounts and marketing.
Some generics companies are better positioned than others. Mylan this year will launch drugs against relatively fewer rivals compared with peers. This could prompt a two-thirds jump in earnings per share. Yet the company trades at just 9 times its 2012 earnings. Generic drug makers may produce identical drugs, but that does not mean investors should treat them all the same way

LEWISTON, Maine -- Colby College men's tennis player Scott Altmeyer continues to have a fine fall season after making the 'A' flight semifinals of the Wallach Invitational at Bates College on Saturday.
Altmeyer (pictured) will meet Bowdoin College's Justin Wang in one semifinal Sunday. Amherst College's Kevin Ma and Bowdoin's Oscar Young play in the other semifinal.
Altmeyer had an opening round bye and then took a 6-2, 6-1 win over Chris Billcic of Trinity College in a round of 16 match. Altmeyer advanced to the semifinals with a 6-2, 6-2 victory against Nikhil Das of Brandeis University in a quarterfinal.
Colby's Garrett Reiter made the quarterfinal round of the 'B' flight. After a first round bye, Reiter captured a 6-4, 6-4 win against Travis Leaf of Skidmore College. He fell 6-3, 6-2 to Zach Bessette of Amherst in the final match.
In the 'C' Flight, Hans Hwang made the quarterfinal round after a 6-3, 6-2 win against Colt Tegtmeier of Brandeis in a round of 16 match. Hwang fell 6-2, 6-2 to Amherst's Harris Foulkes in the quarterfinals. Colby teammate Peter Messenger won 6-3, 7-6 (2) in the first round over Wheaton College's Jorge Aguirre Martinez, but then fell 6-1, 7-5 to Damien Ruparel of Amherst in the round of 16.
Altmeyer and Sumukh Pathi made the quarterfinal round of the 'A' flight doubles and nearly advanced to the semifinals. The pair took an 8-5 win over a team from Skidmore before falling 8-7 (6) in the quarters to a Bowdoin duo.
