The ability to communicate well is a vital key for attaining success. People who lack communication skills have to struggle to advance in their careers & maintain healthy relationships.
Effective communication skills is the mantra for career success. In an age where outsourcing and networking are the in things, your career success is contingent on how good your relationships are with your co-workers, management and clients. To quite a few people, communication is an inborn talent. However, in respect of most people, communication skills are acquired over a period of time.
Are you grappling to push your career ahead? Are you tussling to achieve any of your career objectives? If yes, it is quite likely that you are being held back by the way you communicate. There are hundreds of highly capable people with vast headship aptitudes who lack requisite skills to effectively interact with others, particularly with those who matter. Just because they are unable to sway and win over others, their careers tend to remain sluggish.
Your communication skills are very closely linked with various influences that bring about career success. Unless you possess effective communication skills, you cannot lead others, build a commanding brand image for yourself or steer through complex workplace situations. Therefore, if you seek to capitalize on the prospects of your career success, there can be no escape from improving upon your career skills. How can you hone your communication skills? Here are some guidelines:
Discern and gauge your listeners: It is essential that you know who you are communicating with. Everybody wants to think through matters and concerns in the context of own prerequisites and criteria. However, this may not be effective if you seek to bring about a change in the thought process of others. Therefore, you should determine and recognize specific issues that appeal to and inspire others. It would depend on who your audience is. To illustrate the point, if you are required to make a presentation to your boss or the management of your company, you have to make certain that the effects on company end results are accentuated. Likewise, if the audience happens to comprise individuals dealing extensively with statistics, there is no need to dwell on notional or conjectural matters; instead you should concentrate on specifics, evidences and facts to reinforce your argument.
Be concise and succinct: It is essential that you know what you intend to convey to others. It could be plain dissemination of instructions to your juniors, simple interaction with your boss or a presentation during a meeting you need to be clear about the message that you want communicated. Being succinct and concise calls for steering clear of all worry-prompted propensities to dwell on irrelevant issues or superfluous minutiae.
You need to guard against any tendency to digress from the main topic of communications. After all, accuracy is the soul of wit. It is always recommended that you start with a clear and focused message and have related information up your sleeves to facilitate responding to queries.
Communicate correctly, effectively and imaginatively: Every company has its exclusive philosophy, values, principles and beliefs. Based on these, the spoken and understood, there is absolutely no possibility that you will not be taken seriously. In fact, if you fulfill these parameters, you will be seen as an effective and persuasive conversationalist. Remember that your choice of words is an important part of communicating clearly. While there is no problem with being expressive, it is necessary that any literary flair be avoided. It is necessary that you observe the manner in which top leaders of your company talk and evolve a suitable style of your own. As a thumb rule, you must confine yourself to the use of language that is readily understood by all. Do not use flagging and apologetic language: You before conveying anything. While communicating, you ought to be assertive. There are people who are apologetic while speaking and use words like "Please pardon me for butting in…" or "It may not be very significant". If you have to make a point, you need not be contrite. Remember that if your language is prevailing and weighty, you are more likely to be listened and paid attention to. Your aim should be to make your communications correct and effective. If you succeed in doing so, the prospects for your career success stand heightened. But if you are facing a career- related snag, you ought to focus within to find out if it is your communication skills that are deficient. And in case if it be so, your individual development plan should be restructured accordingly to incorporate efforts to improve your communication skills.

John Petrucci Intros His Ernie Ball Music Man Monarchy Majesty
Dream Theater's grandmaster guitarist gives us the inside scoop on his signature Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci Monarchy Majesty
You can tell a lot about a man by the car he drives. And John Petrucci, famed shredder of Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment and solo work—and lover of BMW—is no exception.
Petrucci is, without question, one of the most technically sound players on the planet. The speed and coordination between his hands is legendary. And his style catalog over the last three decades is as immense as it is nuanced. The term "guitar master" is one that is easy to apply. In other words: He does just about everything a guitar player can do, and does them well.
And that's the underlying theme of his new Ernie Ball Music Man Monarchy Majesty guitar.
With Petrucci's direction, its previous iteration, the Majesty, took design cues from the BMW M6—a car that looks at home in a corporate executive's parking space, but comes loaded with over 500 finely tuned German horsepower. It's not flashy, but it's just as comfortable taking the kids to their (private) school as it is carving up mountain roads or embarrassing muscle-car owners between stoplights. In other words: It does just about everything, and does them well.
Both the Majesty and Monarchy Majesty follow that same mentality by being all things to all players—and, no, not jack-of-all-trades way. It was birthed from decades of engineering, road testing and refinement to allow the instrument to merge with the player—the John Petrucci way.
"When you're playing live, that's when everything is amplified," Petrucci said. "You're completely exposed. All of your years of practicing hopefully come to light. … And you want to get to a point where those things kind of melt away and disappear, and you can just be in that relaxed concentration space where you can be the best musician that you can be."
On its surface, it features the standard goodies for metal-minded players: 6- or 7-string configurations, a pair of DiMarzio humbuckers, three knobs, a couple of switches, 24 frets, a tremolo bridge, locking tuners and a cool paint job. Solid.
But, dig a little deeper, and that's where the details start to come together to create what Petrucci himself calls "the ultimate performance-driven instrument."
The Custom John Petrucci Music Man Piezo floating tremolo bridge features all rounded parts to keep it from cutting picking hands. And the tail section is shaped to flow with the "shield" body inlay for better style, as well as give more surface area for Petrucci to rest his palm.
The Schaller M6-IND locking tuners with the angled headstock hold the strings so well that there's no need for the traditional locking nut with a tremolo bridge. Not needing to find the proper hex key saves time and frustration when trying to make adjustments or change tuning.
A closer look at the headstock.
The neck and "shield" section of the body are one piece of Honduran mahogany to maximize sustain and resonance. That also made it possible to maximize high-fret accessibility by trimming away body mass near the lower horn, as well as create a seamless heel section for ultimate comfort and speed.
"That sort of smooth and seamless transition from the neck into the heel into the body is just one of my favorite things because I'm a big fan of guitar design where it just gets out of your way—where you have nothing preventing you from being the best player that you can be," Petrucci said.
The medium-jumbo frets are stainless steel for smooth vibrato and longer life.
The body is thin and lightened to be wearable for Petrucci's regular marathon live sets. At just 6-3/4 lb., it's unlikely to break any collarbones. And the satin finish on the back was chosen to minimize stickiness on hands and clothes.
The layout of the textured knobs and switches follows the elbow sweep of a player's picking arm to maximize speed of adjustments and avoid awkward, rhythm-breaking motions. Even the selector switches are angled accordingly.
The ergonomically laid out controls provide a comfortable, efficient playing experience.
And here's where the really cool stuff shines through.
The floating tremolo bridge features an active piezo system that's activated with the 3-way switch on the upper horn. That allows Petrucci to blend the piezo with the magnetic pickups or use full, lush acoustic-voiced piezo. And that works in conjunction with the magnetic-pickup 3-way switch, so you can pick which humbucker you want to play along with the piezo. Also, the bottom knob is the piezo's volume control, allowing even more adjustability.
The tone knob (the middle one) is a push-push that doubles as a coil split to chop the DiMarzio Sonic Ecstasy humbuckers in half for cleaner, more-focused playing sections.
Lastly, the volume knob is a push-push that activates a 20dB boost on command. The effect on a clean setting effectively turns it into a handheld crunch channel. And, when playing higher up on the gain settings, it thickens everything up and takes them to 11—ideal for searing leads.
"It's kind of a no-brainer, having the ability to just tap the volume control and then have this clean natural boost of up to 20 dB on the guitar," Petrucci said. "How could you say no to that, really? It's really cool. If you're out there on stage and … you want some extra gain or extra sustain, pop that thing on without having to step on a pedal. It's like magic."
As if the Monarchy Majesty weren't customizable enough, flip it over to find spots to fine-tune the piezo 2-band EQ, boost level and the magnet/piezo mix.
And that's where one can also tinker with the included Ernie Ball Music Man Game Changer system, which allows players to easily modify the control configuration of the instrument. But, as it's already set up to Petrucci's specs, the useful side effect of the Game Changer is zero-delay pickup switching from the 3-way toggle.
Again, John Petrucci and Ernie Ball Music Man are not messing around when it comes to performance. But styling and heritage were definitely still part of the equation.
For example, the name of the models wasn't pulled out of a hat.
"When we first started the band, we were called 'Majesty,' Petrucci said. "And just before we released our first album, we realized … there was another band who had a trademark on that name, so we had to change the name to Dream Theater. But when we were called Majesty, we had this symbol that was an 'M' for Majesty. That's the logo that we'd been using forever as a band, and that's what you see on the first fret—that Majesty logo. … I thought it was a perfect tribute to the band's roots. It's such a connection that I have, and it brings that to the guitar."
And the regal "Monarchy" moniker was also the brainchild of Petrucci himself when naming the body colors — Black Knight, Majestic Purple, Royal Red and Imperial Blue.
"I just thought that the colors had such royalty to them and so—when coming up with names for the colors—I was looking at words like 'imperial' and 'royal' and all things like that. Even based on our last album, The Astonishing, there's an element to that story where there is an empire and an emperor. So I kind of had this idea in my head … to keep them with this theme—this imperial, regal theme."
The maple top shield sits as a centerpiece in the heart of the African mahogany body to be striking visually, as well as rich tonally. Even the shield inlays are mirrored to provide better contrast from the ebony fretboard.
John with his Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci Monarchy Majesty.
While this incredible instrument was developed with one player's vision in mind, the near-limitless versatility, masterful ergonomics and smooth performance it offers will take anyone's playing to new levels.
"When you pick it up, and you feel that satin against your body on the back of the guitar, and the playability of the bridge, and the versatility of the active system with the boost and the piezo—it's really the perfect instrument," Petrucci said. "It's just a spectacular instrument, and it's all of those details that make it so."

Do you know the island faces a most dangerous threat today? And it's not a hurricane.
In the paper this past week there was a report of a meeting which took place last fall between federal, state, and leading experts regarding what to do about one of the most dangerous threats to the island, that of the vicious mongoose should it find its way to our shores — or if in fact it has and if so, what outcomes would result to the current environment.
Authorities are concerned and over 50 experts met last fall on Kauai to determine a plan of action regarding how to respond to this invasive species.
In this episode find out what they know, if there has ever been a mongoose seen or caught here, and what should be done going forward to protect the ecology of the island.

Underwater Report
8am-outside air temp-68 degrees, warmed to 84 by mid-day. Not a cloud in the sky and low humidity. The humidity has been comfortable the last few weeks and combined with the sunshine, it's been great diving and boating weather.
77-degree water temp with calm conditions, a south current and 70' plus visibility. A perfect boating day! When you see Stand Up Paddle boarders in the ocean outside the Inlet, you know it's going to be a perfect day for diving and boating. The ocean was flat as a lake and this was another day in paradise.
Vessel & Crew
Private vessel-Sand Diver (39' Yellowfin with triple 300hp Yamahas)
Crew-Tom Campbell, Peter de Villers, Ed Thompson, Andy Rubin, John Strunk, and myself with Bruce Paul driving.
Dive, Dive, Dive
Heading south out of the Hillsboro Inlet toward the Anglers Pier in Lauderdale-By-the-Sea and dropped in on the Rebel artificial reef. This is a 150' freighter positioned next to the eastern edge of the third reef lying in 105' of water. This wreck is adjacent to the eastern edge of the third reef and was visible as we drifted along the north/south reef.
On the second dive, we proceeded a little north of the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea pier and drifted on the top of the third reef in 50' of water. The top-to-bottom visibility made this a special day for diving and to be able to get a few fish made it even better.
John landed his first grouper of the season (started May 1st) and even got a nice sized hogfish. Everyone got to take home enough fish for a nice meal. I baked my piece of grouper with some spices, light Italian breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Of course, having a liberal amount of butter on the top allowed the baked fish to get a little crunchy on the top as the fish was broiled the last five minutes.
Not a better way to finish off a great dive day in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area than with fresh fish for dinner.

Gophers and squirrels are excellent excavators, displacing large quantities of dirt in a short period of time. There are many problems associated with having gophers or squirrels to homeowners, property management companies, and commercial establishments.
There are high costs associated with repairing beautiful landscaping destroyed by these pests. Also, the fact that gophers and squirrels burrow underground could cause an unstable ground, which could be a liability if someone fell through and broke an ankle, etc. Antac Technicians are trained to eliminate gophers and squirrels in your yard, in effect helping you maintain your beautiful landscaping. Maintenance programs are available for ongoing problems.

One Palm Beach restaurant will be among a brigade of Palm Beach Gardens-area restaurants—a couple of them in vogue these days—represented at an alfresco food-and-wine celebration tomorrow night at Downtown at the Gardens.
Nick & Johnnie's decided to participate in Savor the Flavor—think a dozen restaurant chefs and several wine purveyors and caterers, among others, serving up tastings in the Palm Beach Gardens-based shopping-and-dining mecca—in part because of a personal connection to the event's presenter, Faith Lutheran Church in North Palm Beach.
Nick & Johnnie's Executive Chef Kent Thurston wanted to extend his support because "I grew up going to Faith Lutheran."
Savor the Flavor benefits Faith Lutheran's New Day Adult Daycare Center, a lesser-known kind of service for those in a children's daycare state of mind, but a vital one for anyone related to an older adult facing physical and cognitive challenges.
Tomorrow's Savor the Flavor, 5:30-8 p.m. at Downtown at the Gardens' pavilion, features such restaurants, in addition to Nick & Johnnie's, as Dirty Martini, Paris in Town Le Bistro, Verdea, Grimaldi's, Cabo Flats and Field of Greens.
Each will serve one or more items typically offered on their menus. Collectively, nibbles will include mango-mahi ceviche, Ahi tuna tartare, crimini mushrooms Rockefeller, beef bourguignon, mini pizzas, taquitos, meatballs, Thai chicken lettuce wraps and smoked salmon pinwheels.
Nick & Johnnie's will serve beef short-rib empanadas.
Wine will be served by reps from Stracole Fine Wines, Joseph's Classic Market, Opici Wines, PRP Wines and others. A Latte Fun will offer flavored iced coffees.
Savor the Flavor is $30 in advance (there's still time!) and $35 at the door. For more information or to purchase advance tickets, visit http://www.faithlutherannpb.com/SavortheFlavor.

03 Jun National Stationery Show 2016
Posted at 14:58h in Fine Stationery, Holidays, Products, Weddings
Every year the National Stationery Show is one of the most anticipated events of the year…in the Paper World. Tons of creative brands and individuals dish out their latest designs, looks, and ideas – and this year our favorite ladies attended this year's show. Cindy and Ashley are two of Paper Affair Dallas' greatest managers and have been with our stores since the very beginning. For both of them, this first time at the New York show was especially exciting as the NSS celebrated their 70th anniversary.
Here's a re-cap of their experience!
The NSS was absolutely incredible. This is not just because there were so many new and exciting things, but it opened up Cindy and my hearts even more to the love of paper goods and it was comforting to be in such a big room with fellow stationery lovers! A few of my favorite highlights included:
- Talking "stationery shop" with vendors. It's not often you find people deep in the stationery business like we are. To be able to toss back trends, printing processes, bridal buzz and paper products was delightful.
- Meeting the owners of the stationery designers. As our owner Melissa is a hardworking, local mom of two kiddos, most of these vendors also have families at home. To meet and chat with the designers and see how hard they work to influence the importance of stationery, invitations and traditional correspondence was inspiring.
- Seeing an exquisite stationery designer that only the richest of the richest order from. We are talking about $60k order minimum. I saw concrete stamped invites, leather folders to hold a wedding invite and a glass vessel with custom wedding colors in broken glass within the invitation. I walked away knowing our prices are more affordable (ha!) but furthermore that we at Paper Affair Dallas thrive off of different.
The experience was more than I could have imagined and I walked away from it recharged, inspired and excited for what was coming soon to Paper Affair Dallas and thankful for the trip to NYC!
Paper Affair Dallas is celebrating our 9th Anniversary and boy have we've grown! It's so exciting to see the changes over the Years! At Paper Affair Dallas we are always striving to bring our customers the latest and greatest so we decided to head to New York to see what we could discover and our trip to the National Stationery Show was a success. The goal of our trip was to find album vendors that provide new, fresh options for invitations for weddings, rehearsal dinners, Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, showers and parties. It was exciting to be there and we had a lot of options to choose from. We purchased a digital line called BT Elements and it is just fantastic and I can't wait for it to arrive. I think it's going to give us lots of choices and some really great options for Bar & Bat Mitzvahs. We also picked up a line called Kramer Drive that includes 4 books with a vast number of choices. We will have options for Parties, Bar/ Bat Mitzvah, Stationery & Holiday. Our next purchase is from a custom line that will provide lots of printing options, die cutting, painted edges and will be a great avenue for our custom designs. And our last vendor we purchased, we found Kleinfelds, yes like the store in the TV show "Say Yes to the Dress" and they have their own stationery line! It gives us really beautiful choices for wedding invitations. Ashley and I were inspired and excited about showing our clients all of these beautiful possibilities. One last line… We also picked up a wrapping paper storage and work container that will be stocked in the store that you will totally want to buy for everyone! All our lines should be in in a couple weeks… be sure to drop by and browse!

Maksim Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd's Wedding Will Take Place at 'Blank Space' Castle!
Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are set to tie the knot today (July 8) and their wedding will take place at the same place Taylor Swift filmed her "Blank Space" music video!
The Dancing With the Stars pros are getting married at Oheka Castle in Long Island, N.Y.
"My jaw dropped when I first saw it," Peta told People about the venue. "Maks has loved this place for years and I took on the suggestion and I fell in love with it immediately. It's a whole castle estate with a golf course around it."
In addition to being the setting for Taylor's famous video, it was also reportedly the inspiration for the book "The Great Gatsby."
"The drive up to this gate alone is spectacular. It is so regal and royal," Peta added. "Photos are the things you can hold on to for forever, so I wanted our photos to be spectacular and the grounds on this estate are just phenomenal. I think we are going to have some beautiful shots."

It's party time!
We're celebrating two very important birthdays today. The American Heart Association is celebrating 90 years of saving and improving the lives of those affected by heart disease. In honor of our special day, we're taking a look back at the biggest moments from our first 9 decades.
And we would be remiss if we didn't give a birthday shout-out to our wonderful Teaching Gardens founder and fearless leader, Kelly Meyer. Kelly works tirelessly everyday to help children eat better and grow strong through gardening. She is such an inspiration and we absolutely adore her.
You have to watch this video of the super sweet kiddos at Peters Elementary singing Happy Birthday to Kelly during their American Heart Association Teaching Garden planting day.

In light of the St. Louis Cardinals' recent division clinch (woo hoo!), I wanted to say a few words about Tony La Russa.
This picture perfectly captures Tony's demeanor during every Cardinal game. He's like stone. Dark glasses. Very little emotion. A perfect baseball poker face. Now, he does that strategically. And that's one reason he's the second highest winning coach in Cardinals history.
Off the field, however, Tony is different. Ask anyone who's ever met him in person, and they'll say he's totally real, totally approachable. In fact, I used to talk to Tony all the time when I worked at the Ritz.
But I'll never forget October 28th, 2004. That was the day AFTER the Cards got swept by the Red Sox. And that was also the day Tony's Escalade pulled up to the front drive when I was the only employee out there.
Oh shit.
He went inside without much to say. I parked his car on the drive and anxiously awaited his return from the Cigar Bar.
Geez, should I say something? I thought.
A few hours later he came out for his car. And I decided I HAD to say something.
"Mr. La Russa, I just wanted to say...uh, thanks for a great season. It was unforgettable."
And then he said three words I'll never forget:
"Call me Tony."
Do first or nick names change someone's approachability?

On the field, La Russa is all business; off the field, he's all approachability
In light of the St. Louis Cardinals' recent division clinch (woo hoo!), I wanted to say a few words about Tony La Russa.

The former Labour leader Neil Kinnock today accused Arthur Scargill of "suicidal vanity" and said that his leadership of the miners' strike was a "gift" to the then prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
In a devastating critique of the dispute that split the nation 25 years ago, Lord Kinnock said Scargill was responsible for the "ruthless exploitation" of the solidarity displayed on the picket lines.
And he accused the National Union of Mineworkers leader of walking into Thatcher's carefully laid trap to destroy the unions.
Speaking at the launch of Marching to the Fault Line: The 1984 Miners Strike and the Death of Industrial Britain, by Francis Beckett and the Guardian's David Hencke, Kinnock said the book showed that Thatcher had planned for a "real confrontation" with miners' leaders from the outset.
"There can be no doubt that Margaret Thatcher, Nick Ridley [then transport secretary] and their associates, from 1981, planned carefully for a real confrontation with miners' unions," Kinnock said.
"In faithful detail it shows how a series of steps were taken to build reserves of coal … [they] prepared a national policing strategy and brought to the fore a series of statutes, with which the law was changed. Not that the law was the issue because of the suicidal vanity of Arthur Scargill, which is why his leadership was such a gift to Margaret Thatcher."
Kinnock said people were wrong to speak in the plural about the "leaders of the miners".
He said: "There were lots of individuals… but they didn't lead the strike. I don't re-write history at all when I say such was the domination and the exploitation of solidarity … that there is one person who stands accused of walking straight into the carefully laid trap of Margaret Thatcher with a high speed and lack of restraint that in her wildest dreams she could not have hoped for."
That person was Scargill.
Kinnock reiterated his regret that he did not call publicly for a national strike ballot. "A ballot would have been won for the strike," he said. "What it would have done is guarantee unity right across the mining labour force."
The former Labour leader added: "The strike was ruined the minute it was politicised and in the mind of Arthur Scargill it was always a political struggle … He fed himself the political illusion that as long as the miners were united they had the right to destabilise and overthrow the democratically elected government."
"The miners didn't deserve him, they deserved much, much better. My view is Margaret Thatcher and Arthur Scargill deserved each other. But no-one else did."
Praising the "raw courage" of rank and file union members, Kinnock argued that had the coal industry survived, advances in new cleaner coal technologies would "have been at a much more advanced state now".

These tracks are decidedly disrespectful to the concept of genre. They tumble in and out of stylistic designations with the reckless trajectory of something hurled by an infant. They bloom and buzz. They explode and retract. But together they work -- their hues and themes clinging together like the hull of a rickety spaceship reentering the atmosphere.
Pattern is Movement -- "Suckling"
A clusterbang of teetering tangents, "Suckling" is part electro-pop, part drone, part grunge. To contextualize it, it's first necessary to understand its anatomy, from the bottom up: A bass synth womps menacingly as an electric piano twinkles and over-compressed drums crash and rollick. It's perhaps not surprising to learn that Pattern is Movement, a Philadelphia-based duo, has toured with artists as diverse as The Roots and St. Vincent. Their style, which is really just a bunch of styles pancaked atop each other, seems built for this sort of adaptability.
Wet -- "Don't Wanna Be Your Girl"
Upon brisk inspection, "Don't Wanna Be Your Girl" appears built of several components that add up to a simple, romantic ode. The band name, for one. The swelling synths and crystalline vocals, for another. But Kelly Zutrau's message, despite its plush sonic cushion, is clear: "I don't wanna be your girl no more," she moans. "I won't hide the ways I've tried/It's just not right/It's killing me tonight." That the message is delivered so beautifully, again and again, only aids its heartbreaking efficacy: It's the sonic equivalent of a blood-flecked rose petal.
Giggs -- "(Is It Gangsta?) Yes Yes Yes
"Is it gangsta?" The pistol-tongued British hip-hop newcomer Giggs wants to know. The answer, as one might expect, is emphatically yes. But this is no stuttering, crunk-tinged "gangsta" rap of 2013. This is the type with a luxuriously pronounced "r" - the martinis and tommyguns variety; the stuff of bolo hats and card tables flipped angrily in slow motion. Thanks to Marc Ronson's glamorous production, this track provides a shimmering soundtrack to every badass fantasy you ever had. And it does so without wrinkling its suit even a smidge.
MellowHigh -- "Yu"
The OF crew's verbal dexterity and sun-bleached nihilism are on loud display here. You've got your pseudo-Hobbesian narrative of "Making the most of what this bullshit world allotted us;" your boasts about credibility in the face of a rapid ascension ("I've been kicking knowledge since my fucking pockets knotted up"). But as is the case with most of the L.A. collective's repertoire, there's an outraged and deeply dismayed conscience wringing its hands somewhere deep beneath the slick rhymes. Accessing this morality, as Frank Ocean and Earl Sweatshirt have managed to do on their solo work, is the key to morphing from bored teens to prophetic artists. Mellowhigh lags a bit behind these two, but they're well on their way.
Who knew that precision and melodrama worked so well together? "Helpless Child," which totters between meditative, bouncy and utterly explosive, owes much to Prince, Kate Bush, and Dirty Projectors. It's scrupulously composed, but it also feels untethered to any sort of firm genre boundaries. It is, in essence, a menagerie of a song: one style after the other, each one more bizarre than its predecessor. That it ends with a David Lynch-inspired synth meditation seems appropriate. Like Lynch's films, "Helpless Child" leaves you feeling challenged and troublingly, satisfyingly off-kilter.

One of the things that Market America recommends for a lot of people is to look for ways to work for themselves. In this emerging individualistic market, one of the most important traits is self employment. This is actually one of the best working arrangements that anyone can have, especially if they want a little more freedom. Being self employed does bring a lot of freedom with it, especially when people are working with Market America. This business opportunity can turn out to be of great advantage for anyone that is hoping to experience financial freedom.
One major advantage of being self employed is that people can choose the type of work they do. One of the best things about this is that people can choose to either work for one company or a multitude of companies. They can set their schedule and get to work. This is especially true for people who are working with affiliate networks and promoting products. When people work for Market America, they get to enjoy some of the same advantages. They get to choose from the different brands and products according to the niche that they are working in. With the necessary marketing skills, they can actually earn a ton of money.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self employed is that there is unlimited earning potential. The earning potential of working with Market America is influenced by many different factors. One major influence is the type of product that is being marketed. One thing that should be looked at is the commission being made on the products. This will help people determine what they are going to have to do to make the money that they hope for. The best thing about being self employed is that people are able to use their creativity.

Travel for those living with chronic pain can be challenging, but worth it if we plan well. The following tips are general and specific for making travel less stressful.
General considerations
- Know your obstacles.
- Plan a realistic itinerary.
- Allow plenty of time.
- Make a list early. Part of my travel plan is to put items I intend to pack in my "vA-cA staging area" (the guest bedroom). This gives me time to relax before the big day.
- Keep a small, lightweight, hands-free bag with essentials handy and check your main bag if traveling by air.
- Ask, "How accessible are handicapped accommodations?"
- Pack for all temperatures and environmental fluctuations. I get cold easily, so I pack clothing that is easy to layer. With careful coordination, I can make many outfits from fewer articles of clothing and lessen the load.
- Make your bed as close to your bed at home as possible. Ask for extra pillows or blankets. (I always check the closet when I first arrive for these).
- Use earplugs and a sleep mask.
- Stay as close to your usual routine as possible, but also adjust with the local time to avoid jetlag.
- Throw in an extra pair of reading and sunglasses from the dollar store so if you lose them, you don't mind so much. A book light comes in handy and serves as a light that is easy to access when your unfamiliar hotel room is dark.
- Carry a medical letter, a medical history summary that includes diagnoses with physician's contact information. This letter is handy and often available from your doctor. Ask if they might have such a thing.
- Carry your medications with you and follow the tips for traveling with medications.
- If you need a wheelchair, arrange to have one available. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, airlines are required to provide assistance with boarding, deplaning, making connections, and more.
- Pack disposable ice or heat packs, but as with external and implantable devices, topical pain relievers, prosthetics, service animals, etc., check security guidelines and procedures ahead of time if flying.
- Carry your insurance cards and identification.
In the air, over the rails, and on the road
- Take advantage of rest stops. Move about and stretch every chance you get. Google has a map of rest stops across the U.S.
- If you are confined to an airplane seat, keep blood and lymph moving by flexing and relaxing your joints every 20 to 30 minutes. Support socks are helpful for circulation too.
- Avoid alcohol and stay hydrated. Dehydration stresses the body as a whole.
- Carry a healthy snack bag with fresh fruit and non-perishable foods, like protein bars, in case of a delay.
- Protect your health. I wear a scarf when traveling by plane so I can stay warm. It also dubs as a mask to ward off germs that circulate through the cabin.
- Dress for comfort in loose non-restrictive clothing and a pair of comfortable fail-safe shoes.
- Support your arms and neck. I carry a blow-up neck pillow to support my neck and low back and a tennis ball in a tube sock to self-massage my neck and back muscles for the plane. I also have soft pillow arm supports attached to a soft low back support for the car.
- Take something to keep you occupied. My favorite: Sudoku.
- Make sure your plane, train, or bus is on time before leaving home – sign up for notification when offered.
- If traveling by car, make sure it is road ready.
- Check with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) passenger support if you have questions regarding how to prepare for traveling by air.
- If traveling by train or bus, be sure to review individual policies regarding your needs.
Travel comes with challenges for everyone, but especially those of us who live with conditions that cause chronic pain. But, if we respect our limitations and listen to what our body tells us, we can enjoy our time away from home.

I liked this moon phase plate idea that I saw online. It is something I would do with a group of students.
We can occasionally see the moon at our school during the day but I think it would be better off going home with students...possibly as part of a moon journal activity???

BRT operating millage proposal goes to voters May 5
The ITP board agreed Wednesday to put the question before voters in a May 5 millage election. An additional 0.16 mills is being sought for operation of the Silver Line, along with a continuation of the current 1.12 millage rate, for a total of 1.28 mills. At a rate of 0.16 mills, the owner of a $150,000 house would have to pay an additional $12 per year to support the line's operation. The millage would be collected for the first time in July 2012.
In formulating an estimation of what the millage rate should be, Varga said staff factored in 20 percent of the operating cost coming from the firebox, 25 percent from state operating assistance and the balance coming from the millage.
The Federal Transit Administration authorized the project in late 2007 and is prepared to finance 80 percent of its estimated $40.14 million cost. The state has committed to providing a 20 percent match. Varga said the federal program requires three things from The Rapid before it will issue a project construction grant agreement. First, there has to be an environmental study of the project area, and Varga said the Rapid will issue requests for proposals to solicit bids for that. Second, the Fed wanted assurance that the project is on the state's transportation improvement program schedule, which it is. The Rapid also must submit a financial plan outlining how the BRT's first year of operation will be funded.
"The Feds will not give us the project construction grant agreement — and the state match contract would follow that — unless we have a way of providing for them how we're going to fund the first full year of operation of that project, which would be the year 2013," Varga explained. "It makes sense because they're investing $32 million of federal money, and they want to make sure we actually pull through with it."
Varga stressed that The Rapid is not interested in eliminating some bus routes to make the Silver Line route happen. That's not what federal officials want to see happen, either. They want the Silver Line to be a genuine enhancement to existing service, he said.
Varga acknowledged that given the poor state of the economy it's not the most opportune time to be asking voters to shell out additional dollars for operation of the bus rapid transit line. If voters turn down the millage request, he said, it will threaten the prospect of getting the $40 million from the FTA. It has taken more than five years to get to this point, and it has been a very studied, deliberate process, he added. If The Rapid is unable to present the Fed with a financial plan for the new line, it may have to get back in line for funding.
The Silver Line would be the first bus rapid transit line in Michigan and it's one of the first Small Starts BRT projects that the FTA has approved. The next Small Starts annual report is due out in November. The report rates each project against FTA's various criteria and provides a snapshot of where each project stands in its development process.
"The problem is that there are so many people wanting funds that if you can't meet the criteria the Fed sets in front of you, they might just not put you in the next Small Starts annual report," Varga explained. "You don't want to start slipping behind on the project because other ones in the pipeline move along, then they take precedence over yours. Then at some point the Fed says the project is not rated anymore because it can't meet the financial plan."
Board chairman Don Lawless referred to the project as "a high volume opportunity" for the community. The Silver Line will have a dedicated traffic lane, a 10-minute service frequency during peak hours and 19 station stops. The Division Avenue Corridor crosses the boundaries of Kentwood, Wyoming and Grand Rapids and serves an area with the highest commuter volume in the region. Local developers anticipate the route will be a catalyst for new jobs and investment in the Division Avenue corridor, particularly around the station stops. BRT projects have been shown to spur development. Pittsburgh, for instance, experienced $300 million in new development around its BRT stations and Boston witnessed $650 million in new investment around its stations.
Representatives of Friends of Transit vowed Wednesday to do their part to educate voters about the BRT and get out the "yes" vote. The organization helped to successfully pass millages in 2000, 2003 and 2007 with "yes" votes totaling 65 percent, 66 percent and 58 percent, respectively.
The Rapid has experienced record-breaking ridership over the past four years: It provided more than 9 million rides in 2008, an increase of 11.4 percent over 2007 ridership totals, and demand for service keeps growing, Varga noted.

Berne, Eric
- Rachael I. Rosner
Berne, Eric (10 May 1910–15 July 1970), psychiatrist, was born Eric Lennard Bernstein in Montreal, Quebec, the son of David Hillel Bernstein, a general physician, and Sara Gordon Bernstein, a writer and editor. When Eric was eleven, his father died from tuberculosis, leaving his mother to provide for him and his younger sister. Eric studied mathematics and physics at McGill University, where he graduated with a B.A. in 1931. The intense playfulness that would later characterize Berne's writing and work was evident in his youth; as an undergraduate he wrote for several McGill newspapers under the pseudonyms Lennard Gandalac, Ramsbottom Horseley, and Cynical St. Cyr, a pen name that reappeared in his adult life as Cyprian St. Cyr. Under the pen name Lennard Gandalac, Esq., he failed to publish a novel, ...

Deficiencies That Cause Acne
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in existence, affecting millions of individuals worldwide, reports a 2009 paper published in "Dermato-endocrinology." While hormones, bacteria and oily skin are generally accepted as contributors to acne, the role of diet and nutrition in creating or exacerbating the condition is still debated 1. The nutrient deficiencies most likely to contribute to acne are vitamins A, E and D and zinc.
Vitamins A and E
Vitamins A and E are two antioxidant vitamins required for good health. A study published in 2006 in "Clinical and Experimental Dermatology" tested the relationship between acne and blood levels of vitamins A and E. The results of the study showed that patients with acne had significantly lower levels of both vitamins when compared to individuals in a control group 12. The authors of the study concluded that deficiencies in either of these vitamins could aggravate acne. Furthermore, the administration of both vitamins improved acne.
Zinc is a mineral that is also essential for the normal functioning of the human body. A study published in 2013 in "Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology" evaluated blood concentrations of zinc, along with vitamins A and E, in relation to acne severity 3. The researchers determined that lower levels of vitamin E and zinc were correlated with more severe acne 3. Based on the findings, the authors of the study concluded that zinc plus vitamins A and E could be used as treatment in those with acne.
Vitamin D
The 2009 paper published in "Dermo-endocrinology" notes that vitamin D can also play an important role in the proliferation of acne 1. According to the authors, the fact that vitamin D is synthesized in the skin demonstrates its importance in skin health. Furthermore, vitamin D possesses properties of skin hormones, another factor related to acne.
The richest dietary sources of vitamin A include:
- Dermato-endocrinology: The Relationship of Diet and Acne
- Clinical and Experimental Dermatology: Does the Plasma Level of Vitamins A and E Affect Acne Condition?
- Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology: Evaluation of Serum Vitamins A and E and Zinc Levels According to the Severity of Acne Vulgaris

Dear Friends:
It is a great pleasure for me to extend greetings to you for the 12th performing season of Nova Scotia's Mens Choir 'Nova Voce'. As Her Majesty the Queen's representative in Nova Scotia and Honourary Patron of Nova Voce. I offer my congratulations to Nova Voce for bringing their powerful music to communities throughout Nova Scotia and most recently on their very successful United States tour in July 2015.
Nova Voce has consistently been earning a reputation as one of Canada's finest men's choirs internationally and nationally. I am told that while on tour in the United States they sang numerous songs from Nova Scotia. Many audience members were so taken with our maritime music they were going to put Nova Scotia on their bucket list for a visit.
This season Nova Voce will be singing throughout Nova Scotia including Antigonish, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg to name just a few. I congratulate them on all their accomplishments to the performing arts in Nova Scotia and wish them continued success in all their endeavours.
Well done Nova Voce. Enjoy their performance.
Brigadier-General The Hon. J.J. Grant, CMM, ONS, CD (Ret'd)
Lieutenant Governor

On Mountain Lion, host
Coguaro, I login as user
coconutpowder using
Coguaro:~ coconutpowder$ echo $0
I need to run a command with elevated privileges so I try to
su switch to
root but it won't let me:
Coguaro:~ coconutpowder$ su -
su: Sorry
Feir enough. I read the
man page for
su and get this:
PAM is used to set the policy su(1) will use.
In particular, by default only users in the ``admin'' or ``wheel''
groups can switch to UID 0 (``root'').
I notice I am not part of either group allowed to
su by doing this:
Coguaro:~ coconutpowder$ id
uid=502(coconutpowder) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),12(everyone),61(localaccounts)
so I re-run the
su command prefixing it with a
sudo, which I am allowed to do as I am in
/etc/sudoers: coconutpowder ALL=(ALL) ALL
Coguaro:~ coconutpowder$ sudo su -
Coguaro:~ root# echo $USER $0 $BASH_VERSION
root -sh 3.2.48(1)-release
Coguaro:~ root#
Now I have what I think is a problematic scenario as I am actually running
sh for what I can see, that is my login shell for
root after all, but I have the
BASH_VERSION environment variable set from my earlier login, passed along via the
sudo mechanism? Correct me if I am wrong.
This means some shell-detection tricks like this break:
if [ ${BASH_VERSION-not_running_within_bash} = not_running_within_bash ]; then
# ...
I am at a total loss as to how to properly
su to
root and have some way of determining with certainty whether I am using
bash or not. The script uses Bash arrays extensively and could destroy filesystem paths if some values go spurious. I found the
ps -p $$ hacks mentioned elsewhere a bit of a hack (?!) so I am looking for the best way to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish, considering I must login first as
coconutpowder and can't just do so as
root directly.
If I am doing the user switching wrong, I believe this question is distinctively different from the others that have proliferated around merely detecting the current (not "default" or "assigned") shell.
So far I am edging towards parsing $0, possibly removing any prefixed
- character to denote a login shell.
Unless any of you can teach me how to
su to
root with login (i.e. reading $HOME/.profile) and directly switch to
bash from the default
sh, which can't be changed.

| Grain Free + Gluten Free + Dairy Free + No Sugar Added |
Mix all of your breakfast ingredients into a baking dish and you have yourself these blueberry pecan baked oatmeal bars. I used to be such a sweet breakfast person. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and even when I would have eggs, which you think would be salty, I would drizzle them with maple syrup (sounds weird, I know, but don't knock it till you try it).
Sometimes a sweet breakfast is all I want in the morning. Whether it's a late wake up on the weekend or it's almost that time of the month, when I crave something carby and sweet I don't want to feel guilty about it. However, something like a croissant or a muffin is usually filled with lots of sugar and gluten, and always leaves me feeling terrible before noon even hits. I can say from experience, morning bloat is the worst and can ruin your entire day.
So when I was making these baked oatmeal bars, the idea was to have something filling, comforting and nutritious with little to no sugar. I went ahead and added NO sugar to these. Just one banana and some blueberries and theyr'e just sweet enough that they ease the craving but probably won't trigger the body to crave sugar for every meal for the rest of the day.
One thing I always try to be consistent with with my recipes is keeping it simple and easy. My favorite recipes are ones that use only one bowl and just a few utensils, and this recipe falls under that category. One bowl, a few measuring cups, a whisk and a spoon. Easy preparation, easy clean up.
In the ingredient list below, you'll see that I emphasized organic for the fresh blueberries and there's a reason for that. I don't necessarily think that every fruit and vegetable you consume has to be organic, because let's be real, that's not always budget friendly. However, there are certain ones that should always be a priority. If you're unfamiliar with the dirty dozen, you can give it a read here and learn more about it but I will for sure have a blog post coming in the future talking more about it as well.
For now, enjoy making these easy and simple blueberry pecan baked oatmeal bars and if you are feeling super extra, you can cut your squares into super large pieces and put one in a bowl with (nut) milk. Spoon each bite of the baked oatmeal meal bars with a little bit of a milk and you'll want to make this recipe every freakin day. 🙂
