We had a fairly simple, but busy, Memorial Day Weekend. My mom and I traveled to Utah for a funeral. My sweet friend Kristina's mother passed away, and I was glad that we were able to attend the services. Kristina is a close friend from college, and my heart aches for her and the loss of her mother. It was very emotional and hard for me to attend the funeral. We hurried home to attend the wedding of my nephew, Cameron, and then we caught the UFC fight with Andrea and Casey later that night.
Shelby had spent the night at my house, so we made big plans for primary on Sunday. I am the children's music director, and since Shelby had her guitar, we decided to go "camping". We made a pretend campfire and turned out all the lights. The kids ate smores (uncooked of course), and we sang all of their primary songs while Shelby accompanied us with her guitar. After church, my mother in law had a birthday party for my nephew Carson and I. We had a yummy potluck and visited.
Monday, Memorial Day, was spent visiting graves. I hold a special place in my heart for visiting my passed loved ones each Memorial Day. I feel like our world is so focused on this holiday being a big "vacation"...and I find it so sad to see how few young people are in the cemetaries thinking of their loved ones. I am so glad that my kids can go and ask questions. They want to know more about the people that they didn't ever know...and they have been talking about these people and remembering them. I get really emotional on Memorial Day. I couldn't keep my composure at several of the graves. I miss my grandmas and grandpas so much. I am also very thankful for those who unselfishly given to me and my family by serving our country. I am thankful to have a day set aside to appreciate and remember all of these wonderful people.
Monday night, my parents made us dinner for my birthday. We had a delicious dinner and enjoyed visiting (I even took a nap on their couch...which is something I NEVER do) while the kids shot BBguns and archery with grandpa.

Small Groups provide the unique opportunity to continue the conversation that begins every Sunday morning in our worship service as we listen to God's Word. Our sermon-based Small Groups offer honest environments to share faith and life with one another. We believe real life change best happens in the company of others where life-on-life support is naturally and spontaneously experienced. If you're already involved in weekly worship, engaging in a Small Group is your next best step to a deeper connection with others in the church and continued growth in your relationship with God.
Our Small Groups take place at various homes each night of the week. While most are multigenerational, we also offer kid-friendly Small Groups and a morning Small Group on Wednesdays at FHPC. We look forward to helping you find the right group. Submit your contact information through the form below.

A little late on my PopSugar Must Have post, but here it is. It came early this month, after the last box came late. Crazy! As usual, the PSMH was super fun to open with lots of fun goodies, even if I didn't love 100% of the items.
Here's the first look:
+ now, onto the details!
The Can't Cook Book by Jessica Seinfeld – This book looks awesome. While I've never set anything on fire and consider myself a decent cook, I do like a lot of these simple recipes and tips for quick meals for busy nights! (Value $16.76 via Amazon)
NYX Liquid Brown Eyeliner – I haven't used liquid eyeliner since I started wearing make up in middle/high school and I used this awful blue/black color. It looked terrible on me, but I'm a bit afraid to use this, even though it is brown. I'll probably gift this. (Value $5.99 via Ulta)
NYX Smokey Shadow Palette – This looks gorgeous! Love these colors. However, I'll be gifting this. I really don't wear dark eye make up anymore, I would have preferred the Natural palette from NYX. Yeah, I'm boring like that. (Value $7 via Nordstrom)
The Crispery Crispycake with Halloween Sprinkles – YUM. I was so stoked to see a giant delicious looking treat. It was everything you'd want + more in a rice krispie treat. Sweet, gooey, delicious. (Value $3.95 via the Crispery)
Jane Tran Bobby Pins – These are a bit weird. They're like an XL Bobby Pin that's super stiff. I was expecting (based on the size) that these would clip. Ill probably use these to pull back my hair under hats this winter. (Value $12 via janetran.com)
Julep Freedom Polymer Topcoat + "Char" Nailpolish Duo – Love Julep! Char is a great cobalt blue, and I can never have too many topcoats. (Value $12.60 + $9.80 via Julep)
The Wet Brush – This. is. amazing. Seriously. Can't believe I ever lived without this thing. ($8.99 via Ulta)
Gorjana Bali Bead Bracelet – This is really cute and for a great cause (Breast Cancer awareness). It's kind of big for my wrist and wish it was more adjustable. (Value $45 via Gorjana)
Stitch Fix Credit – This is good for a free "fix". I signed up, and my first one comes in November. Woohoo! (Value $20)
And that's a wrap!
For $35, the PopSugar Must Have box has a value of over $142! Pretty great. Make sure if you're a current subscriber you've upped your subscription to a plan (3, 6, or 12 month) to avoid paying the extra $4.95 next month. :)
Did you get PopSugar Must Have box in October? What was your favorite item?

So I suppose the note telling authors that no special processing occurs so don't let IDs clash really means implementation-specific behavior if they do. But what does it mean to say that a new model should behave as if it had been in the page all along? We're well past the phase where the xforms processor initializes all models by dispatching xforms-model-construct to them. Wouldn't it be better to be explicit and say that any newly embedded model receives xforms-model-construct... which begets xforms-model-construct-done, which begets xforms-ready? Also, a special attribute of targetid is clearly missing, since it is referenced in the text. Cheers, John M.

Rt Rev Mark Davies
Director of Planned Giving and Gift Aid Service: Mr Mike Russell,
Curial Offices, 2 Park Road South, Prenton, Birkenhead, CH43 4UX.
Tel: 0151 652 9855
Fax: 0870 094 1142
Email: email@example.com
Assistant: Joanne Skerrett
The role of the Planned Giving and Gift Aid Service is to provide a service to the parishes of the Diocese to assist them in obtaining the income necessary for them to carry out their work.
Our task, as the Church of Shrewsbury Diocese, is to bring God's healing love to the world in which we live, to be the Word of God to all around us. But this vision has to be more than words – we must translate our shared vision into action!
To do this we require resources:
a) people willing to share in the work of the Church,
b) property i.e. church buildings, parish halls & meeting rooms,
c) money, to meet the costs of the work.
The normal running costs and the day-to-day work taking place in our parishes by dedicated parishioners incur considerable costs. The maintenance of existing buildings and the provision of new facilities have to be financed.
Stewardship is the word that can be used described this; it asks of us all "are we good Stewards of our Time, our Talents and our "Treasure?" All three aspects of Stewardship are essential and inter-dependant.
The Planned Giving and Gift Aid Service is primarily involved in the stewardship of Treasure as the two main sources of our income are the Offertory gifts made at weekly Mass and the tax refunds that we can claim through Gift Aid.
Recent years have seen all costs rising but a falling in numbers and fewer young families attending Mass. This inevitably places a greater responsibility on those still practising their Faith to be generous in supporting their parishes.
The work of our parishes and the Diocese depends on having the necessary resources of people and finance. What is needed is not just people willing to give of their time and efforts in carrying out the work of the Church. It is also essential that we have the necessary income to finance the good work that is being carried out.
Thus it is essential that regular and realistic giving is maintained and to this end the concept of "Planned Giving" (or "Christian Stewardship") is actively promoted by the Planned Giving and Gift Aid Service through the medium of 1 or 2 weekend "Planned Giving Renewals" in Parishes. Parishes are encouraged to have such a renewal at least every 3 to 4 years to keep pace with the floating population, the effects of inflation and the growing costs of running a parish. In a "Renewal" all parishioners are urged to see their Offertory Giving as more than just providing the necessary income to meet the bills. The message of a "Renewal" is that the gifts presented at the Offertory of the Mass are an offering of oneself and an active way of participating in the communal effort to fulfil the Mission of the Church more effectively.
The concern for and commitment to the Church of the people of Shrewsbury Diocese is evident – despite economic uncertainty and continuing falls in Mass Attendance, Average Weekly Giving Per Person has managed to increase overall in recent years.

Gift Aid enables parishes to reclaim tax on donations that are ALREADY being made at the Offertory and in many other ways – i.e. donations for special purposes and retiring collections.
Donors simply make a declaration that they wish their donations to qualify for a tax refund under the Gift Aid Scheme. This declaration may be made on a Gift Aid Declaration Form (available in parishes or from the Diocesan office) or it can be made over the telephone, fax or by email to the Diocesan Office.
The donor only has to give their name and address and to confirm that they are paying sufficient income tax and that they wish to be part of the Gift Aid Scheme.
Gift Aid involves no commitment to give any particular amount and no long-term commitment. The donor may cancel their membership of the scheme at any time.
There are only two conditions with which donors must comply; firstly that they must be paying at least as much income tax as is reclaimed on their total charitable donations in the tax year and secondly that all donations on which a tax refund is to be claimed will be given either by Offertory Envelopes, by Cheque or by Banker's Standing Order. It does not matter which rate of income tax the donor pays.
Tax may be reclaimed on any donation(s) given in the above ways. These may consist of Offertory Donations at Mass, Christmas and Easter Offerings, special Retiring Collections that are taken from time-to-time, Mass Offerings, or any "one-off' donation(s) made in response to an appeal for a specific purpose (i.e. for a new heating system, church re-decoration, etc).
Most parishes have a lay person who acts as Gift Aid Organiser who can explain further and advise you on how to join the Gift Aid Scheme. The Director is available to carry out weekend Gift Aid appeals in Parishes, and Parishes are encouraged to have an appeal every 3 to 4 years to keep pace with the floating population and the tax status of Parishioners.
Your Parish needs the extra funds that the Gift Aid scheme provides.
As well as benefiting parishes, Gift Aid can be used to enhance the value of donations to the Diocese through the General Diocesan Fund and other Diocesan Funds and Organisations – for example the Retired Priests' Fund, the Clergy Education & Training Fund (which funds those training for the Priesthood), and the Justice & Peace Commission.
The appropriate Gift Aid Declaration Form can be obtained from the Director (see contact details above), or general Gift Aid Declarations can be downloaded from the Planned Giving & Gift Aid pageof the Diocesan website. Cheques should be made payable to "Diocese of Shrewsbury" and a note should accompany the donation specifying which fund is to benefit.
In the last few years a process has begun of introducing Planned Giving and Gift Aid as part of the overall concept of Stewardship. What do we mean by Stewardship?
Stewardship is a "one-word" description of the Christian way of life. It is not something that we do; it is a way of living out our discipleship. It has to come from a very mature faith, an attitude of mind and of living that is driven by the acknowledgement that all things in life, indeed life itself, do not belong to me, but that they belong to God. Nothing is mine, everything is God's. All my gifts, skills and talents belong to him: I am merely here for a while to care for them, to use them wisely, to nurture and develop them, and then to return them. I come with nothing, and I shall leave with nothing. But in between times I am called to do many things.
By our baptism we are called to be Disciples of Christ. Stewardship is an expression of discipleship with a power to change how we understand and live out our lives. Disciples who practice stewardship recognise God as the origin of life, the giver of freedom, the source of all they have and will be.
However small you may feel your gift is, it will be multiplied as it is shared. Jesus calls us to share our time, talents and treasure as he compares them to a light created to illuminate all in the house not to be hidden under a bushel. (Matthew 5 14-16),
Please contact me if you would like more information on Planned Giving, Gift Aid, diocesan or parish finances or developing stewardship in your parish.
Mike Russell, Director

"One of the crucial albums of the 1970s, Johnny Clarke delivers up a masterpiece in a mere 12 tracks. Produced by Bunny Lee, at the height of his 'flying cymbals' work, Rockers Time Now, contrary to its title, doesn't so much rock as find the perfect lackadaisical groove, and slides along it into nirvana. If the Jamaican term 'irae' had a musical personification, Rockers would be it. Clarke's own laid-back, unruffled delivery dovetails perfectly, and Lee's equally easygoing house band the Aggrovators were the perfect music complement. Several of the songs are covers that on paper seem to be recipes for disaster, like the Abyssinians' militant 'Declaration of Rights.' But miraculously it works brilliantly, as if the revolution had come without bloodshed, with Babylon brought to ruins by a haze of ganja smoke. That haze swirls around 'Satta Massa Gana' as well, conjuring up a dream world Africa, an exquisite paradise far removed from the real world. However, Rockers isn't all wrapped in mists, 'Ites Green and Gold' is actually pretty punchy, while 'African Roots' bounces across the grooves, buoyed by the bubbly guitar riffs. Airiest of all is the title track, which almost floats off the record entirely. The rest of the record is rootsier, with just enough simmering guitar slithering through to justify the rockers title. The standout is arguably a cover of the Mighty Diamonds 'Them Never Love Poor Marcus,' the most passionate track on the record, although 'Let's Give Jah Jah Praise' runs a very close second. The album remains a contradiction in terms, rockers without the rock, roots without the fire, but Clarke's silky delivery, and the Aggrovators' subtle performance had classic written all over it. The Front Line label dropped the singer after the release of this album and Authorized Version, philistines blind to the rare gems in their hands, and time has only increased the value of Rockers Time Now. — Jo-Ann Greene"

"Over the years, a plethora of roundups from this formidable artist have hit the streets of Jamaica, Britain, Europe, and the U.S., all dedicated exclusively to the singer's recordings for producer Bunny Lee. Invariably there's some repetition, but so many singles did Johnny Clarke unleash under Lee's aegis, there's more than enough to go around. Inevitably there were some duds amid the barrage of hits, but the bulk of the material is of such high quality that fans really can't go wrong. With that said, Don't Trouble Trouble still rises to the top of the compilation pile. With copious hindsight — the set was released in 1989, the British Attack label was able to choose tracks not based on the hottest sounds of the time, but those that were the most enduring. Nicely balanced between cultural concerns, romantic interests, and dancehall bravado, the set presents a particularly well-rounded picture of this crucial artist. Although it's still only a partial one, as Trouble troubles only to pull from the period 1975-1976, early in Clarke's partnership with Lee, equally great numbers were still to come. …"

"10 excellent roots rock rhythms given a nice dub treatment, and though we're selling this record as most shops do, as a King Tubby side, we'd be willing to wager he actually wasn't around his studio when this was mixed, and certainly wasn't around Joe Gibbs' or Bullwackies when the cuts included here from those spots were mixed. Still it's a great set of rhythms, all with excellent spaced out dub mixes, and burning performances at the hands of Sly & Robbie, Family Man, Bagga Morris, Santa Davis, Augustus Pablo and others. "

"This is the third collection of King Tubby-produced Skatalites tracks to come from England's Motion label. Once again, anyone whose acquaintance with the Skatalites is limited to that group's classic '60s ska material will be surprised by the slow, languid roots rhythms that are on offer here; and once again, the combination of Tubby's dubwise engineering prowess and the Skatalites effortless groovemaking is perfect. On 'Middle East Dub' saxophonist Tommy McCook plays the melody from Bob Marley's 'Coming in from the Cold' over the 'Give Thanks' rhythm before getting slingshotted off into space by Tubby, while the funde and repeater drums chuckle and percolate underneath; Tony Brevett's 'Starlight' gets two cuts, one a showcase for the trombone magic of Don Drummond ('Starlight Version') and the other a more mystical version that focuses more on the percussionists ('African Dub'). Nine of these fifteen tracks (including all three of the CD bonus tracks) were recorded at Lee 'Scratch' Perry's notorious Black Ark studio before being taken to Tubby's for remixing, and all partake of that inimitable swampy, dark Black Ark vibe. Overall, this is a treasure trove of classic dub that can confidently be recommended to all fans of the genre."

"This two-disc set brings together some of the finest dub mixes ever produced by the legendary King Tubby. The first disc compiles 13 tracks played by the Observer All Stars and originally produced by Winston 'Niney' Holness; the second consists of 17 cuts by the Aggrovators (produced by Bunny Lee) and includes the collection's title track, a DJ talk-over featuring the great U-Roy. King Tubby's approach to dub was always distinctive; his mixes are distinguished by a touch that is sweet sounding and endlessly creative, balancing innovation with respect for the original even during the most drastic deconstruction of a song. And unlike some other dub producers, Tubby generally left swatches of the vocal line in place, dropping it in and out of the mix and applying dirty analog echo, sometimes subtly changing the lyrical focus. This collection's unusually helpful liner notes will assist interested listeners in finding original versions of many of the tracks. A truly essential dub collection."
"A highly regarded set for old school dub fans in general and King Tubby fans in particular, King Tubby's Special is a 2-CD set, the first being a re-release of a 1975 Niney the Observer album (name withheld due to the fact that I don't know it) mixed by Tubby and the second a collection of Bunny Lee productions from 1974 to 1976. The first disc features as its core dubs a few tunes from Dennis Brown, with whom Niney forged his most successful partnership."

"The kind of material on Maxfield Avenue Breakdown, recorded from 1974-1979 by the Revolutionaries with Ernest and JoJo Hookim at the Channel One studio controls, may lack the pure sonic invention of a Lee Perry or King Tubby, but it played an equally crucial role in the development of dub. Jamaican recordings from this era introduced the rockers style driven by Robbie Shakespeare's throbbing bass and Sly Dunbar's echoed rim-shot clicks and explosive snare shots, which became a fundamental definition of roots reggae. Over that fresh drum and bass foundation, the Hookims keep their dub easy to digest by retaining most of the original song structures and mutating one element at a time."

I often come across people who have a deep desire to be an entrepreneur and start their own business, but who haven't done so yet because they "can't come up with a good idea." Too often I hear: "All of my ideas are dumb." And in those moments, I cannot help but say: "Define a dumb idea."
Let's take a look at a few things that one might consider a "dumb idea":
The point is that every idea has merit, because whether or not the idea sounds good, or is laid out perfectly, it can be worked and modified and morphed into absolute brilliance – even goggles for your dog.
In business, brilliant ideas are the ones that make money, not the ones that look the prettiest or sound the smartest, or are the most technologically advanced. The winners are the ideas that cause enough someones, somewhere, to pull out their wallet and lay down their money to pay for them. So who are you to judge how dumb your ideas are until you put them out there to the world to see what the world is willing to pay for it. Every idea has elements of genius in embryo. Sure they might need some tweaking along the way, but they will never grow to perfection if you stop them before they grow up.
My advice is simply this: Stop being so dang critical of your inner genius. You are restricting your dumb ideas from reaching their million dollar potential! Try letting them flow for once. When an idea pops into your head, don't tell yourself that it's dumb. Rather, ask a bunch of people if they would pay money for that product you dreamed up this morning while eating your bowl of Wheaties. Don't be embarrassed to ask them. At best, they will tell you they love it or give you feedback on how to turn the idea into a product they would gladly pay for. And at worst they will say, "No, that's a dumb idea." To which you can simply respond, "Perhaps you wouldn't be so negative if you had a Snuggie and a Pillow Pet."

I was so busy at Montengarde's Twelfth Night (January 23, 2016) that I didn't even bring my camera, but one of the guests brings his… and posted some photos online that are public viewing, so I thought I'd share them here! (Directly linked from his Flickr account, all copyright his – if he removes them in future, links will be broken.)
Fashion show contest
During court, I was super-excited to find out that I won the costume contest in the advanced category.
I'm in the blue, and Alice Percy (in the tan)- made the announcement as the Event Stewart. The woman in the pink won in the Intermediate category as well, and the winner of the Beginner category isn't pictured.
Looking all demure and stuff. 😉
This is my Byzantine costume made for the fashion show and the Silk Road themed event. I only wore it in the evening though, since my A&S projects were from different eras (so of course I dressed up to accompany those entries during the day!).
Read more about my costume through my Byzantine tag.
I haven't seen any (shareable) photos of the A&S competition yet, but hopefully someone caught some!

24 Badass Quotes From Jen Sincero's Book: You Are A Badass
I just finished reading 'You Are A Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living An Awesome Life' by Jen Sincero, and I feel unbeatable. I also feel inspired, and I believe that I can get whatever I want if I go after it. The book has encouraged me to have faith, practice gratitude and fearlessly go after my dreams.
While reading it, I noted down powerful quotes so that I remember Jen Sincero's teachings.
Here are they:
- 'If you wanna stay stuck in the same place and keep getting spanked with the same lessons over and over, be negative, resentful, and victimized.'
- You cut yourself off from the supply of awesomeness when you are not in a state of gratitude.'
- 'If you want to get over your issues and rock your life, be grateful, look for the good and learn.'
- 'The moment you have the audacity to start believing in the not-yet-seen, your reality will begin to shift.'
- 'When we share what we were brought here to give, we are in alignment with our highest, most powerful selves.'
- 'Faith is the muscle you use when you decide to blast outside of your comfort zone and transform your life into something that's practically unrecognizable to you in your present reality. Faith smothers your fear of the unknown. Faith allows you to take risks. Faith is the stuff of 'leap and the net will appear.'
- 'If you focus on the negative aspects of the more challenging things in your life, it will just lower your frequency, keep you in pain and resentment, attract more negativity to you, very possibly make you sick, and very definitely make you crabby.'
- 'Love yourself, and the bluebirds of happiness will be your permanent backup singers.'
- 'Your job isn't to know the how, it's to know the what, and to be open to discovering, and receiving, the how.'
- 'You're on a journey with no defined beginning, middle or end. There are no wrong twists and turns. There is just being. And your job is to be as you as you can be.'
- 'Nobody who ever accomplished anything big or new or worth raising a celebratory fist in the air did it from their comfort zone. They risked ridicule and failure and sometimes even death. Think of the Wright brothers. Can you imagine how that whole thing went down?'
- 'Comparison is the fastest way to take all the fun out of life.'
- 'If you're to get anywhere near reaching your full potential in this life as a writer, artist, business person, parent, baker, or a fully realized human being in general: DO NOT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME GIVING ONE SINGLE CARE ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS OF YOU.'
- 'When we're happy and all in love with ourselves, we can't be bothered with the bullshit (our own or other people's).'
- 'Wanting can be done sitting on the couch with a bong in your hand and a travel magazine on your lap. Deciding means jumping in all the way, doing whatever it takes, and going after your dreams with the tenacity of a dateless cheerleader a week before prom night.'
- 'Your true-self lives in the present (not stuck in your head), totally believes in miracles and is one with the universe.'
- 'It's not your fault that you're fucked up. It's your fault if you stay fucked up.'
- 'We are very powerful creatures who create our realities through focused energy, and should our subconscious mind decide to focus that energy at stopping ourselves from taking a risk because it's freaking out and terrified, things can a little crazy around here.'
- 'All of us are connected to this limitless power, and most of us aren't using but a fraction of it.'
- 'When I'm connected with Source Energy and in the flow, I am so much more powerful, so much more in tune to my physical world and the world beyond, and just so much happier in general. And the more I meditate and the more attention I give to this relationship with my invisible superpower, the more effortlessly I can manifest the things I want into my life, and do it with such specificity and at such a rapid rate that it makes my hair stand up. It's like I've finally figured out how to make my magic wand work.'
- 'Focus on what makes you feel good, and ye shall find that which makes you feel good.'
- 'In order to truly raise your vibration, you've got to believe that everything you want is available to you. And the best way to keep this belief strong is by staying connected to Source Energy.'
- 'Unless your energy is lined up properly with that which you desire, really desire, any action you take is going to require way more effort to get you where you want to go, If it gets you there at all.'
- If you want to radically change your life, strengthen your faith that we live in an abundant, benevolent universe by being grateful for everything you've already manifested and all the good that's hurtling toward you. Be grateful that you have the power to manifest any reality you desire and then leap into the void and get it.'

- "There is a redemptive power that making a choice has."

I used to wander around stores browsing at things. I could use my disposal income to purchase said things. These days, with young kids in tow, there is no wandering (let alone many store visits). And disposable income now equals college funds times 3. For the brief moments that I am a consumer, many of my purchases are driven by my friends' recommendations.
If you saw this post, you already know that I'm adding a weekly post to (my) Rabbit Trails. Every Monday from here on out, my Weekly Top 5. Whether music, food, consumer goods, a good read – whatever I am hearting, it'll be here. This is in the spirit of paying it forward and sharing that information to the others out there whose browsing time isn't what it used to be (or those who just don't like to browse!).
I know you have a busy week ahead and you want to dive in headfirst, so let's get to it…
But first, coffee and some light reading 🙂
- I can't stop listening to Down by Marian Hill. Beautiful voice and chill vibe. So good I can run and relax to it.
- I am fueled to be better for my boys. Even when they are not with me, I am reminded of them, thanks to this bracelet. It's an inspiration twofer. Not only does it remind of my reason, but it reminds me of what happens with dream + grind. Game Day Feels was started by two sisters who give new purpose to baseball glove laces that can be engraved with your personal message (clearly I chose my boys' names). I wear it by itself when I'm wearing my uniform (work-out gear), with a silver cuff bracelet for a date night or a fun bangle. It mixes and matches well and dresses up or down. Heart.
- These no bake peanut butter chocolate chip balls. I could tell you how good they are or you could look at the pictures below. The first batch would have been gone in an hour if I wasn't being all mom-like and telling the boys: Don't Spoil Your Dinner! Note: Batch #1 shouldn't be brown. Misreading a recipe is a risk of cooking while three boys are running wild. In the first batch, I mistakenly blended the chocolate chips with the other ingredients, opposed to adding them at the end (like you do with chocolate chip cookies.) After "testing" many from both batches, I preferred Batch #1 (not as dry)!
- It's never too late to finish something started years before…
- The XX's third album dropped. Some of my faves: On Hold, Lips, Performance, Say Something Loving…what am I saying?! Like their last two albums, every single song is good.
That's it. Those are the things making me smile right now. Hope you have a great week!
If you read this and like it, humor me and follow by adding your email address in the right sidebar or at the bottom of this page. It'll give me 6 things to be smiling about this week 🙂
And if something has you smiling, add it to the comments below so it can make the rest of us smile too!

Purchasing your next car in Oneida, Liverpool, and Syracuse is a major decision that requires a great deal of careful consideration. While there are several factors that you must keep in mind when investing in your next vehicle, deciding on whether you should lease or buy is a crucial decision.
Although they may seem similar, leasing and buying are actually very different. Both finance options have their individual advantages. Examining some of the characteristics of each payment method will help you make your decision. Here are a few of the key differences between leasing vs. buying that you should consider when you're planning to buy your next vehicle.
Upfront Costs
The first factor to consider when you're thinking about leasing vs. buying is the upfront cost you can expect with each option.
When you buy a car, your major upfront cost will be your down payment, which usually isn't a requirement for leasing. However, this doesn't mean that leases are without their upfront costs. If you choose a lease, you can expect to pay for acquisition fees, a first month's payment, a security deposit, and interest charges. With both options, you can expect to pay some amount of taxes, too.
Monthly Payments
The main concern of most people investing in a new vehicle is the amount of their monthly payments, and this is an area where leasing has a distinct advantage over buying.
In most cases, monthly lease payments will be lower than loan payments, making leasing an enticing choice for drivers looking to control their month-to-month costs. Buying can often be the better choice in the long-term, though. After your last loan payment has been made, you'll own the car and can use the remaining equity however you wish. When a lease is done, you'll return the car to the dealership. In the end, it depends on your personal financial preferences.
An important factor to consider when you're trying to decide whether you should lease or buy is how often you drive your automobile.
When you lease a car, you'll have a certain number of miles that you can drive it. If you go over the mileage limit, you will likely be charged a fee. If you tend to frequently drive your car and accumulate a good deal of miles on the odometer, then buying is usually a better option than leasing.
You should also think about how likely it is that you would need to end your lease or loan early. Terminating a lease early often requires paying a costly fee. Getting out of a loan is easier, as you can trade in or sell your vehicle whenever it becomes necessary.
Buying vs Leasing: Which Is the Right Choice for You?
As you can see, both leasing and buying can be great options. In the end, deciding between leasing or buying will largely depend on your individual needs. If you need help choosing between leasing vs. buying, you can talk with the expert financing team at Bill Rapp Subaru.
Whether you decide to lease or buy, shopping at Bill Rapp Subaru is an exciting way to find your next automobile. We proudly work with drivers from Syracuse, Liverpool, and Oneida, and we would be excited to serve you. Contact us or get pre-qualified online today!

Unto a land of headlines flowing with milk and honey…
In what's certainly a damaging kick in the backside, Michigan announced Thursday morning that tight end Jake Butt has been "sidelined indefinitely" with what's been diagnosed as a torn ACL. The rising sophomore incurred the injury recently during winter conditioning workouts, the school said.
There's no timeline for Butt's return, although his availability for at least the beginning of the 2014 season is certainly up in the air.
"Jake's done a tremendous job since he's been here," a statement from head coach Brady Hoke began. "He's worked extremely hard and gained a lot of weight to become the complete tight end he wants to be. I think he showed flashes of that towards the end of last season. This is a tough break, but because of his work ethic and attitude, the kind of young man he is, we know he will be back as soon as he can and as strong as ever."
If Butt is lost for a significant amount of time, it would serve as a huge blow to the Wolverines' offense.
As a true freshman in 2013, Butt finished third on the team in receptions (20), yards (235) and touchdowns (two). Butt was a four-star member of UM's 2013 recruiting class, rated as the No. 5 tight end in the country.

Even the most expensive and efficient air conditioning systems can struggle on very hot days. When the temperature soars over the 40 deg Celsius mark it becomes difficult for your air conditioner to maintain a desired climate. There are a few things you can do to help your air conditioner. This will work whether you have ducted or a wall hung split system.
- Close blinds and curtains. Windows are your biggest enemy on hot days, letting heat through into your house. Closing the blinds and curtains will help shut that heat out.
- Don't open doors. Try not to open and close external doors allowing the cool air to rush outside each time.
- Run one zone. If you have a ducted system, try just running one zone so your air con can work more efficiently. The more zones you have on the harder the system has to work.
- Close off zone. Close internal doors to shut off the zone you are trying to cool, this will help keep the temperature down and the air con working efficiently. If you have a wall hung split again try closing the room off you have the inside unit in.
- Hose the outside fan. In extreme cases putting your sprinkler on to the fan on your outside condenser will help keep the system cool and prevent it from taking in too much hot air from the outside.
- Clean filters. The cleaner the filter the better the airflow. View previous blogs on how to do this.

Being a small business owner can be isolating. The responsibility for making and marketing your product, handling customer relations, and getting it to the consumer is all on you. To help southern Minnesota entrepreneurs, SMIF launched its first Peer Council about ten years ago as a form of peer-to-peer networking among regional CEOs.
As an outgrowth of SMIF's FEAST Local Foods Advisory Network, SMIF launched a new Peer Council in January 2016 specifically for local foods businesses. Twelve business owners meet monthly to discuss honestly and confidentially issues that matter to their businesses. Greg Thomas, formerly of Enterprise MN, facilitates the group.
"Based on the positive feedback from this first local foods Peer Council, we're looking at adding another sometime this summer," said SMIF's Business Specialist, John Katz.
"The Peer Council through SMIF has helped our business by offering guidance in the business world," said co-owner of Mama Stoen's Christine Stoen, which makes gluten-free mixes. "We are a very small business but have been growing daily. This group allows us to bounce ideas off each other in an open discussion and learn from others in the group. The ability to bring in outside individuals who are in the market and able to speak, give advice and feedback from what they have seen has been super beneficial as well."
Part of the reward to SMIF, besides helping to strengthen the local business economy: SMIF's lunchroom table is usually graced with leftover local delicacies, from chocolates to freshly roasted coffee.
If you would like to learn more about SMIF's Local FoodsPeer Council, contact John Katz at email@example.com.
Businesses participating in SMIF's newest local foods Peer Council include:
- Blue Earth Valley Trading Company, Mankato: Honey, maple and beeswax products
- Carlson Roasting Company, Houston: coffee roaster
- Curly Girlz Candy, Medford: gourmet candy and chocolates
- Flower Valley Vineyard and Winery, Red Wing

The ice scrapers had to come out at some point, but when McAndrew Vernon got off work in Manchester Monday night, he wasn't expecting to have to scrape a layer of ice and snow off his car.
"I was expecting this last week actually, the last couple of days. But definitely not today. It was pretty warm out," Vernon of Bloomfield said. Midday temperatures in the 40s plummeted as night fell.
Puddles and wet pavement from Sunday's soaker started to freeze and then it started to snow in some places across Connecticut, sleet in others. That prompted Department of Transportation officials to call in plow truck drivers.
DOT trucks were filling up with road salt in East Hartford and across the state.
"Right now we're out there treating the roads trying to prevent that from freezing," said DOT Storm Monitor Rick DeMatties. "So far we've had some icy spots here and there that police have been calling in and we've been responding to those."
At the DOT Operations Center in Newington, traffic cameras allowed a good look at road conditions in areas around the state.
As many as 300 truck drivers were called in by 7:30 Monday night, with more on standby to make sure the roads are safe for the morning commute.
"We'll probably have a contingent of trucks out all night long we want to make sure that rush hour goes well without any slipping and sliding," DeMatties said.

Take Advantage of 401(k) Savings
Saving for retirement through a qualified retirement plan such as a 401(k) or an IRA means that at age 70½ the IRS requires retirees to begin taking minimum distribution (RMDs) from these accounts based on their projected life expectancy. Each year the IRS publishes a series of tables used to determine how much must be taken in the form of a distribution, inevitable causing retirees to withdraw more as they get older.
The good news for cradle robbers is that if your spouse is at least 10 years younger than you, there is a separate table that provides a smaller distribution requirement and thus reduces the recipient's annual taxable income (restrictions apply; for example, your spouse must be the primary beneficiary, etc.). While a 10 year difference in age creates only nominal savings, a 15 or 20 year gap might create significant savings. For example, a 75 year-old with an account balance of $250,000 at the end of 2011 would save over $1,500 per year in required distributions for a spouse 15 years younger and almost $3,000 for a spouse 20 years their junior. That's both a tax savings and an opportunity for those assets to grow tax deferred for yet another year.
Therefore, couples with major gap in their ages should consider contributing as much as possible to the older spouse's qualified plan. This will provide access to these funds when the older spouse turns 59 ½ instead of being forced to wait until the younger spouse reaches that magical age while simultaneously creating a smaller RMD tax bill.
Defer Social Security
Not only is the IRS sensitive to age gaps, our friends over at the Social Security Administration (SSA) also have policies and programs that with some planning can benefit couples with a significant difference in their ages, particularly younger spouses. Social Security decisions can be tricky for married couples since each spouse technically qualifies for three different options, including personal, spousal, and survivor benefits… plus they can choose to file early, at full retirement, or defer until age 70 and receive a nice increase to their benefits.
Significant age gaps and general life expectancy between spouse's can mean that there may be many more years for the younger spouse to collect spousal or survivor benefits than the elder spouse will get from their own personal benefits. It's important to consider that women tend to live longer than men and are more likely to have earned lower personal benefits. Therefore, it may make sense for a couple with a large age gap, particularly a younger wife, to plan for the older spouse to defer benefits as long as possible – even to age 70 if it's reasonable.
The other true benefit to delaying Social Security payments is that dying early usually doesn't jeopardize the financial aspects of your retirement plan. It's living too long that concerns many couples. Therefore, by deferring Social Security benefits for as long as possible, couples can reduce the stress and anxiety of outliving their money since they'll receive higher payments.
Maximize Your Pension
Pension maximization is another strategy that can work well for couples with a large age gap. The basics of this strategy involve the older spouse opting for the single life pension option. A single life pension option provides higher annual payments but is only paid for as long as the pensioner is alive. On the other hand, a joint survivor option is paid as long as the pensioner or their beneficiary is alive. However, the additional spouse benefit comes at a cost. Typically, annual payments are dramatically less, which can negatively affect your desired lifestyle.
The pension maximization strategy suggests that the couple take the extra income from the single life option and use it to fund a life insurance policy on the older spouse. Then, assuming the older spouse dies first, the surviving spouse will receive the proceeds from the policy to fund subsequent retirement needs. Essentially, by using the single life option, the couple will receive a higher annual benefit to help maintain their lifestyle while also funding a life insurance policy. The proceeds of which should exceed the benefit the younger spouse would have received under the joint survivor option and thus create a better lifestyle.
Whether you or your spouse robbed the cradle, married couples with significant age gaps have unique retirement planning needs and opportunities. While you might receive an occasional stare or a high-five from friends impressed by your ability to attract a younger mate, couples in this situation can turn it into a financial benefit by saving more in their qualified retirement plans, deferring Social Security for as long as possible, and using life insurance to protect the younger spouses future needs.

Arun Goel, who recently took over as the vice-chairman of Delhi Development Authority, is on a mission mode to make functioning of the land-owing agency transparent, efficient and people-friendly. He spoke to Risha Chitlangia on priorities.
Q: You recently announced a slew of measures to make DDA's functioning more transparent and people-friendly. Do you think there is a trust deficit between people and DDA?
A: If a person has to approach the VC to get his or her work done, it means there is a problem. Distrust comes from opaqueness and ambiguity in functioning. I agree there is a trust deficit and I aim to eliminate it by creating a system which is transparent, efficient and people-friendly. Services have to be delivered in a time-bound and systematic manner. We are planning to launch mobile applications to keep a check on our services and put things in public domain for scrutiny. We are making earnest efforts to win back the confidence of people. We are simplifying the process of conversion of property from leasehold to freehold. We are linking people's feedback with our services and projects. I'm confident that within the next three-six months, there will be a visible change.
Q: Delhi government is apprehensive about the land pooling policy as it will have to surrender gram sabha land, which is meant for development projects, to DDA and then buy the same land back at high rates for development projects.
A: We have communicated to the government at the highest level that infrastructure requirements will be taken care of by DDA while preparing the development plans. We have asked the government to give us a list of its short-term and long-term infrastructure requirements. DDA and Delhi government will have to work in tandem as we both want systematic development of Delhi.
Q: How do you plan to implement land pooling?
A: As we will be dealing with large land parcels, we are working on developing a foolproof and transparent system. We will put everything in public domain and discretionary powers will not rest with DDA officials. We plan to map the land which will be transferred to us under the policy. GIS technology will be used for it. Data provided by Delhi government's Geospatial Delhi Limited will be superimposed on our maps to look at the ground situation. A consultant is being appointed for the purpose. We plan to create a cell which will look into all the aspects of land pooling. We are also preparing a FAQ on land pooling for general public so that there is no confusion regarding it.
Q: DDA is struggling to remove encroachments from its land. How do you plan to protect vacant land from further encroachment?
A: We have started the process of digitization of vacant land data along with photographic evidence, legal status, type and extent of encroachment, if any, and the officer in-charge of the property. This data will be compiled and uploaded on our website within three months. We have requested Delhi government to provide GIS data using which we will digitally map our land. The data will be updated every three months. This will help us keep a close watch on our property, mainly big land parcels, and take prompt action in case of any encroachment. I have also directed officials to identify small land parcels, mainly near populated areas. We will auction these plots.
Q: People aren't happy with the construction quality of DDA flats. The ones allotted in the 2010 housing scheme are in a pathetic condition. How are you planning to fix the problem and make sure that it doesn't happen in future projects?
A: I admit that the construction quality of houses under the 2010 scheme is not up to the mark. I have directed officials to rectify the problems in a time-bound manner. We are also providing a time-frame to RWAs about the schedule of work. To ensure that this problem doesn't happen in future, we have decided to narrow the time gap between completion of buildings and handing them over to people. We will link the contractor's 5% security money with people's feedback. In all future projects, we will try our best to ensure that houses are handed over to public as soon as construction is over. At present, there is a time gap of 2-3 years. We will use pre-fabricated material in future projects to ensure good construction quality.
Q: TOI recently did a series on MPD-2021 highlighting the problems in its implementation. Several RWAs want the DDA to review mixed land use policy as it has led to chaos in residential colonies. Even urban experts say that there is a need for operational guidelines for MPD as there are technical issues in its implementation. Is it possible to make changes in MPD now?
A: MPD is a legal document which gives a broad plan for city. As for changes in MPD, there is a proper process for it. People's views were taken when the review had started. If people approach us, we will follow the process. As for operational guidelines, the implementation issues have to be addressed by the implementing agencies. There are provisions through which they can settle the issues. DDA can only provide a broad plan. But we will explain the provisions in case there is any doubt through an FAQ.

1. Do I have a claim?
In order to succeed with a personal injury claim the claimant (the injured person) must establish liability, causation and loss.
In order to establish liability, you have to be able to show that the accident was someone else's fault. This is done usually by establishing that someone else was negligent or in breach of a lawful obligation (e.g. health & safety legislation).
The test for causation is that the claimant must prove that there is a causal connection between the accident and the injuries caused – i.e. that the defendant's negligence actually caused the injuries. In most straightforward personal injury claims the issue of causation will be clear
Compensation can only be obtained where there has been a loss. This can either be because you have injured or because you have incurred an actual financial loss as a result of the accident (e.g. loss of earnings, damaged clothing, taxi fares).
In summary, if you have been injured and it was somebody else's fault you should be able to make a personal injuries claim.
2. What type of accident can I claim for?
You can get compensation for any type of accident provided you can establish liability, causation and loss. Of course, you also have to have a defendant that can pay any compensation you may be awarded. Types of claim include (but are not limited to):
Employers' Liability (EL)
This includes accidents at work and in the workplace
Industrial Illness or Disease
This covers all types of illness and disease at work or caused by the working environment (e.g. asbestosis, deafness, mesothelioma, miner's knee, pneumoconiosis)
Occupiers' Liability (OL)
This includes accidents to people visiting buildings, premises or private or public land generally
Road Traffic Accidents
Comprising all accidents and injuries to do with motor vehicles, including collisions with other vehicles, and injuries to motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians.
Product Liability
If you have been injured because of a defective product you can usually get compensation from the manufacturer or retailer
This is where you slip or fall because of someone else's negligence or failure to comply with the law
Dog bites
Unfortunately children can be very vulnerable to being bitten by dogs and can get some very serious injuries. If a dog has a history of biting then you may well be able to be compensated
Criminal injuries compensation
This is available where a person has been injured as a result of a criminal assault or other criminal act. This is a scheme run by the government. Each injury has a fixed tariff and generally legal costs are not paid additionally to the compensation.
3. What if I have had a road traffic accident but I don't know who the other driver is or if he is insured?
Motor Insurers' Bureau
The Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) is a body set up and funded by the insurance companies to provide compensation in these circumstances. There are two schemes, called the MIB Uninsured Drivers' Agreement, and the MIB Untraced Drivers' Agreement.
If you are claiming against an uninsured driver, the MIB will step in and act as if it was that driver's insurer. The MIB will pay you compensation plus your legal costs.
If you do not know who the driver was (e.g. if it was a hit and run accident), then you can make a claim to the MIB under the Untraced Drivers'Agreement. You can apply for compensation for your injuries and financial losses, but the MIB will only pay a nominal sum towards your legal costs.
4. How much will I get?
Your claim will be valued by reference to the severity of your injuries, how long it takes you to get better, whether you have any permanent disability, and how the accident has affected you generally (called "general damages"), and what financial losses you have suffered (called "special damages"). For an overview of the likely level of compensation for general damages, please see the Judicial Studies Board Guidelines.
General Damages
General damages are monetary compensation awarded by a judge (or agreed by your opponents). They are intended to recompense you for (amongst other things) your injury and the pain and suffering this has caused you and also for any resulting physical or mental disability and the restrictions that this imposes on your way of life.
General damages are assessed by comparing previous court awards in cases with facts similar to your own.
Other examples of general damages include:
- compensation for being handicapped in the job market,
- for the loss of a congenial form of employment
- or compensation for losses and expenses that you are likely to incur in the future.
We will make an initial assessment of the value of your claim at our first interview. However, until your symptoms have completely resolved or stabilised, it is not possible to make an accurate valuation of your likely damages. General damages are valued by assessing the medical evidence. The Judicial Studies Board Guidelines provide guidance on the likely award brackets for each type of injury.
Special Damages
Special damages are compensation for the losses and expenses that you have incurred that can be arithmetically calculated. Special damages can include the following heads of claim:
- Accident damage to your property,
- lost earnings,
- medical and treatment expenses,
- the cost of care and assistance,
- transport costs
- and other items of expense which you have incurred as a direct result of the accident and/or the injury.
Damages are designed to compensate an injured party; a court will not allow a party to profit from the claim (i.e. to be put in a better position than before the injury).
- You have a duty to mitigate your loss. Which means that you must take reasonable steps to minimise your losses. For example: if your injury has prevented you from working, you must take reasonable steps to resume your pre-accident employment or to obtain suitable alternative employment as soon as reasonably possible.
- If you are deemed to be partly to blame for the accident, your entitlement to compensation (general or special damages) will be reduced to take into account the extent of your culpability (ie to reflect your own responsibility for the accident). For example, were a court decides that you were equally to blame for the accident then it is likely to reduce the total amount of your award by as much as a half. This is called contributory negligence.
We can advise you what kinds of damages you are entitled to, and their likely amount.
5. Will it affect my state benefits?
Personal Injury trusts
If you are in receipt of means assessed state benefits then the receipt of a capital sum may effect your entitlement to future benefits.
Capital up to £6,000 is disregarded in assessing means tested benefits. From £6000 to £16,000 a tariff system is in place where £1 of benefit is lost for every £250 of capital held. Capital in excess of £16,000 means that there is no entitlement to means tested benefit.
This means that even a modest award of compensation can reduce or extinguish your entitlement to state benefits (and don't forget that if you already have some savings, then your compensation will be added to that when determining if you have crossed the £6,000 threshold). However, it is possible to set up a personal injury trust, which holds your compensation on your behalf (and where you keep control of the money), but because the money does not actually pass to you, your benefits should be unaffected.
6. How long will it take?
Most simple claims can be finished within 9 - 12 months. If it is necessary to start court proceedings then it will take longer, perhaps 18-24 months. The amount of time a claim takes depends on a number of things, such as:
- How long it takes you to get better or to reach a stage in your recovery that the doctors can predict how long your recovery should take. For example, your doctor may examine you 4 months after the accident but say he needs to see you again in 12 months time to be able to say how serious your symptoms are and whether there will be any permanent injury
- Some claims require us to investigate what happened before we can assess whether you are likely to win or not. If your opponent's insurer takes a long time to provide us with access to the documents we need, this can slow things down. In that situation we may need to apply to the court for an order requiring your opponent to disclose its relevant documents to us
- Whether your opponent's insurer accepts liability. If the insurer says the other person was not at fault then we will have to start court proceedings
- If court proceedings are started, these might persuade the insurer to settle the case quickly, but if the case goes to trial this will take much longer.
7. Will I have to go to court?
Most personal injury claims settle without the need to issue court proceedings. These tend to be cases where liability has been admitted by the other side. Sometimes it is necessary to issue court proceedings because an agreement cannot be reached on the value of your claim. Many claims that are issued are still capable of being settled without actually proceeding to trial. While about 30% of cases start the court process, only about 1-2% actually go to trial. The rest are settled before trial. You will only have to stand up in court and say what happened if there is a trial, and this is statistically very unlikely.
8. Will I have to pay anything?
Our view is that the client should pay nothing, either upfront or from his or her compensation.
We will never ask you for money upfront. However, if you ask us to conduct your case in a manner against our advice and where we think this will incur costs that cannot be recovered from your opponent even if you win, then we may ask you to guarantee you will reimburse us for that expense out of your compensation.
There are a number of ways to pay for the cost of legal representation. These include legal expenses insurance that you may already have, trades union funding, and legal cover provided by a motoring or professional organisation. If none of these are available to you then we can act on a conditional fee agreement (or "no win-no fee"). With all of these types of funding you should usually expect to pay nothing yourself.
9. How long have I got to bring a claim?
Time Limits
In personal injury cases, generally court proceedings must be started within 3 years from the date of accident. This is known as the limitation period. This period runs from:
- the date on which the cause of action accrued, ie the date of the accident, or
- if later, from the "date of knowledge" of the person injured
- Special considerations apply to persons who die from their injuries within the 3 year period and to children.
Other time limits:
- Aviation claims - 2 years
- MIB Untraced Drivers' Agreement claims – 2 years
- Criminal Injuries Compensation (CICA) claims – 2 years
Only in exceptional circumstances can a personal injury claim be brought outside the statutory time limits.
For a CICA claim to succeed, the assault or allegation must be reported to the police as soon as possible after the incident occurs, and the injured person must co-operate fully with the police in the investigation and prosecution of the offence.
It is a good idea to make a claim as soon as possible following your accident. This is because the circumstances of the accident will still be fresh in your mind. Additionally the sooner we have details of your claim, the sooner we can advise you and start obtaining evidence and making contact with the insurance company of the person who is at fault.
