On Sunday (31st July) I was fortunate enough to be part of the Hope and Social Garden Party, having been invited along to help out doing some social media stuff (mainly video) on the day. It was a truly amazing event, best summed up, I think, by Mike Chitty, who described it on Twitter as "perhaps the perfect combination of culture, commerce, community and conviviality". Mike also suggested that Hope and Social are in the "memories business" rather than the music business.
I am not going to give a blow-by-blow account of the day, others have and will do that, and I'd just miss too much out in any case, because I was busy a lot of the time, and some of it just passed me by. There was too much going on for any one person to take in. And this is my topic. I think. on Sunday, Hope and Social re-invented the Village Fete for the 21st Century, and offered a model many others should follow.
If you are not familiar with Hope and Social, you should check them out, mainly here. They are less a band, more a modern phenomenon, trail-blazing the way for new ways of working in the 21st Century music business, offering their music on a "pay what you can" basis, and pushing back the frontiers of social media interaction with their fans. I worked with some members of the band, mainly guitarist Rich Huxley, last Autumn to put on a Social Media Surgery for Musicians in Leeds, and this was an illustration how they not only want to reach out to their fans and supporters, but help their fellow musicians find new ways of operating in the changed landscape where probably no one is ever again going to make multi-million profits from the sales of music alone. At this point, I should give a special mention to Ben Denison, who organises a lot of stuff the band does, particularly in the social media and event management fields.
Hope and Social go much, much further than most musicians in engaging with their audience. Not only do they use the usual social media channels to interact with the public, but they seek to draw their fanbase into their community so engendering a feeling of one big family, having fun together. Key to this is the organisation of events which enhance their performances and make them a much more interactive experience than standing or sitting and watching them play on stage. So, last year they mounted the Hope and Social Funbus which involved hiring an open-topped bus and taking 70 people from Leeds to Runswick bay on the Yorkshire Coast, playing their music on the way, on the beach, and on the way back. And then, last winter, there was the Hope and Social Snowball which started off touring Leeds pubs singing carols, performing "Living on a Prayer" on the steps of Leeds Town Hall (see video below) and then performing a gig in a magical winter wonderland.
The point about all this is, not only do the band and their supporters have a great time, but, because the audience is having so much fun, they tell their friends, it's an experience they want to pass on, and, in the age of social media, many of them use the available tools to tell their stories about it. So, blogs, tweets and Facebook posts inevitably spring up, creating a buzz around the event, and inspiring a sense of jealousy in those who were not part of it, which makes them determined to be at the next one.
And so, to Sunday's Garden Party. As well as two different stages, showcasing a range of different bands from midday to after 8pm, Hope and Social had organised so many things for people to do that there was no excuse for boredom at all. There were some of the trendiest and most cutting-edge local food retailers there, along with a bar selling cocktails and local ale. There was a Hula Hoop demonstration,
a delightfully messy Paintball Swingball,
And many more wares on offer
Vodpod videos no longer available.
What perhaps summed up the spirit of the day for me, more than anything else was when Hope and Social band member Ed Waring led his headphone-clad party from the Silent Disco in the next field into the main stage field to dance through the audience, oblivious to the music of the String Fellows who were playing on the stage at the time.
All-in-all it was a brilliant day, capped off by a barnstorming performance by Hope and Social themselves, which can be heard on this recording by East Leeds FM. The whole event was an assault on all the senses, with something to please just about everyone.
And so, returning to my theme. I think this was a 21st Century Village Fete. I reckon there are very few events that successfully fill the gap between the rock festival-type happening, which mainly appeals to young people and hardened festival-goers, and the village fete /country show-type thing, which is mainly of interest to an older or specialist audience. What Hope and Social created was something that had a very wide appeal, and I reckon a large part of the audience were in the 25 to 50 age range, which probably doesn't get properly catered for by traditional events. And it was helped by the fact that kids were let in for free.
And that brings me to another point. Costs. This could only happen because people paid to get in. I think it was a bargain at £15 per adult, with kids for free. There are lots of public events these days, often paid for by local authorities, which are free of charge, but often have a declining audience. Hope and Social have proved that relevant, entertaining, events can be done for a reasonable cost. Many of the publicly funded events are under threat now, because of declining budgets. There are lots of entrepreneurs out there who could do what Hope and Social have done, and they could do it by putting on events that people really want to be part of, not what has traditionally always been done.
Hope and Social brought together some amazing talents from far and wide, coupled with amazing food and drink, and other entertainments. But, every community has people who want to, and are able to, perform, every community has people who can make food, and every community is capable of making its own entertainment. Hope and Social have developed the blueprint for the 21st Century Village Fete, I hope more communities, individuals and organisations will take up the challenge to spread the model.
A more or less complete set of my videos from the Garden Party can be viewed here, and my photographs are here.

Bloomberg says that global corporate profits are being hit by the Euro crisis. Maybe so, but second quarter corporate taxes in the US hit a 4 year record.
Europe's debt crisis is putting pressure on corporate earnings globally with companies from Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) to Danone (BN) cutting forecasts and signaling profits will fall at more companies this year.
Analysts predict members of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index in the U.S. will report a 1.1 per cent average drop in second- quarter earnings, after estimating a gain as recently as last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That would be the first decline in 11 quarters after a 6.2 per cent average increase in the first quarter. A stronger dollar is another threat to earnings as U.S. exports become more expensive.
via Euro Crisis Hits Profits Globally as P&G Cuts Forecast – Bloomberg.
If corporate profits are falling, it has not happened yet, at least as far as US base multinationals are concerned. June corporate tax collections for Q2 2012 are the highest they have been in 4 years, beating 2011 by a healthy 9.2%, and that doesn't count late filers for the remainder of the month after the June 15 deadline. By month's end, the gap should be 10% or more. So while the media touts the falling sky, the facts say something different.
Maybe the sky will fall, just not yet.

At the 2009 FaithWriters conference, one of the speakers we were privileged to have with us was Linore Rose Burkard, multi-published author of historical romance. More specifically, Regency Romance. Her tagline is "Inspirational Romance for the Jane Austen Soul."
I initially posted this recap of her workshop Writing Characters of Faith on my blog, but because it was so good, I wanted to share it here. Linore has plenty of expertise in creating Christian characters! This workshop not only covered building faith-filled characters, but also included advice on general character-creating.
Here are a few points to consider as you begin putting together your cast of characters:
What audience are you writing for? Who do you want to read your book? It's not enough to say "everybody," because the truth is, your story won't appeal to everyone. When you know what type of reader will likely be drawn to the story you're writing, you will be better able to create characters they can relate to.
Even evil characters need sympathetic elements. For the most part, humans are not entirely bad. Even the most evil people have some positive traits. Your goal is to make believable characters that your readers will empathize with.
See your character. Sometimes it helps to visualize your character and what he/she looks like. Browse magazines for faces that "look like" your character. Once you have that point of reference, he/she will be easier to describe, at least physically.
Make your character come alive. Here are a few of the ways your characters come alive on the page:
- Physical attributes
- Quirks – things that set your character apart
- Clothing style
- Psychological attributes
- Inner thoughts and actions – think about whether that particular character would do/think those things.
- Dialogue – the way your character speaks is a powerful way his/her personality will shine through.
Finally, I want to leave you with the one thing Linore said about specifically creating characters of faith that really stuck with me.
The best way to create a Christian character, is to HAVE a Christian character.
Linore Rose Burkard is the creator of "Inspirational Romance for the Jane Austen Soul." Her characters take you back in time to experience life and love during the era of Regency England (circa 1811 – 1820). Fans of classic romances, such as Pride & Prejudice, Emma, and Sense & Sensibility, will enjoy meeting Ariana Forsythe, a feisty heroine who finds her heart and beliefs tested by high-society London.
Ms. Burkard's novels include Before the Seasons Ends and The House in Grosvenor Square (coming April, 2009). Her stories blend Christian faith and romance with well-researched details from the Regency period. Her books and monthly newsletter captivate readers with little-known facts, exciting stories, and historical insights. Experience a romantic age, where timeless lessons still apply to modern life. And, enjoy a romance that reminds you happy endings are possible for everyone.
Publisher's Weekly affirms, "Ms. Burkard's command of period detail is impressive, evident in material details, but also in dialogue. Her novels even help non-Regencyphiles learn the difference between ladies' pelisses and spencers…On the whole, it's a tasty confection."
Ms. Burkard began writing when she couldn't find a Regency romance with an inspirational twist. "There were Christian books that approached the genre," she says, "But, they fell short of being a genuine Regency. I knew that many women like me want stories that are historically authentic and offer glimpses of God's involvement in our lives. So, I finally gave up looking and decided to write one myself."
Ms. Burkard was raised in New York, where she graduated magna cum laude from the City University of New York with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature. She lives with her husband and five children in a town full of antique stores and gift shops in southwestern Ohio. Her hobbies include working on four new Regency novels, family movie nights, swimming, and gardening.

Wait may end soon
NAPLES, Fla. -- The assembled Japanese media here at the annual general managers' meetings have been told this morning that the Seibu Lions' board of directors will meet tonight (Tuesday morning in Japan) to mull over the top bid submitted a major league team to earn the negotiating rights to coveted righthander Daisuke Matsuzaka.
There are still conflicting reports as to when any kind of announcement was going to be made. Major league baseball is saying it's going to be on Tuesday, while Japanese reporters are saying it's going to be tonight.
Matsuzaka's agent, Scott Boras, was also due here sometime today, but Sox general manager Theo Epstein, who arrived last night, said he did not have a meeting planned with Boras, who also represents a number of free agents, including Barry Zito, J.D. Drew and others.
Epstein will be joined by Ben Cherington and Jed Hoyer as well as newly appointed assistant to the general manager Allard Baird. Other general managers and their staffs from around baseball trickled in Sunday night and this morning and will take part in a bowling tournament today and a dinner tonight.
In between, Epstein was about to buckle in for what could be an extremely busy and fruitful few days, particularly if Boston has made the highest bid on Matsuzaka. He would not make any comments on Matsuzaka.
Courtney clarified the rule pertaining to the negotiating rights for Matsuzaka or any posted Japanese player. Courtney was told by major league baseball operations officials that Matsuzaka's rights could not be traded. There is a possibility of a sign and trade scenario, but the Sox must sign Matsuzaka if their bid is accepted and have 30 days to negotiate with Boras. If the sides can't reach agreement, Matsuzaka returns to the Lions.
(Editors note: As soon as we know the results of the bidding for Matsuzaka, well post it here in the Extra Bases blog.)

Today I attended Cambridgeshire County Council's Economy & Environment Committee, which was voting (for the second time this year) on segregated cycle lanes for Hills and Huntingdon Roads. The project had first been considered in May but deferred on safety grounds, including many raised by myself on behalf of local residents.
I called for a traffic survey to measure traffic speeds and behaviour before and after the scheme, as well as representing residents' mixed views on the scheme.
Thank you for allowing me to speak.
I am speaking particularly about Hills Rd, as the stretch concerned runs through Queen Edith's. It is the part between the notorious Hills Rd bridge and Long Road.
Local views are mixed. Although people want the cycling environment made safer, my residents have articulated the concerns you heard at your last meeting: floating bus stops and how pedestrians would manage
I know this aspect has been improved and I welcome the wider islands and the refashioning of the cycle lane near bus stops. I still have my doubts about whether this is the right place for such a scheme, given the heavy volumes of different road users (2400 getting on the bus)
But residents have other concerns which are very local: how it affects the roads:
Concern about what will happen when tradesmen visit, as not all properties have their own drives.
Rat-running: if cars get held up behind buses there is a risk they will become impatient and divert into streets off Hills Road. Four of these have schools, with children from 2 upwards, many of them walking or cycling to school.
I would like a traffic survey to be carried out before and after the scheme is input.

Real Fur Pom Pom
The fur used in these pom poms come from a mix of wild and ranch-raised animals. The coyote and red fox are ethically sourced by indigenous hunters in the United States and Canada. The blue fox, white fox, silver fox, Finn raccoon, and some red fox are typically ranch-raised in Canada or Scandinavia according to strict laws governing the humane treatment of the animals at all stages of their lives. The furs are then tanned in Canada or the United States at tanneries that are equipped with proper filtration systems to ensure that no damage is done to the environment. The pom poms are then made by a furrier in Toronto.

This article will give you the basic steps you need to set up and run your own website on the WordPress platform. As we discussed in earlier blog posts it really does benefit you to have your own website as opposed to using a free one.
Step One: You will need to register and domain name or address, this is referred to as your URL and would look like:
http://yourdomainname.com or http://www.yourdomainname.com
You need to choose a domain for your business and see if it is available. You may want to start out with a domain in your own name. This is a great way to brand yourself and you can always link to a business site from it at a later date.
In order to register a domain you need to buy one for a register. Two of the most popular are Go Daddy and Namecheap. I prefer to use Namecheap for all of my domain names. Search for a monthly coupon code that can save you a little extra money too.
Step Two: In this step you need to host your new website somewhere. Again, there are lots of hosting companies out there and some of the most popular are:
- Hostgator
- Namecheap
- A2 Hosting
- Site 5
When you first sign up you may even get a domain name for free, so that would save you the cost from step one above. If you are not sure what hosting plan to choose just select a basic one. You can always upgrade later on.
Look for a hosting account that uses something similar to Cpanel as this is really easy to use.
Step Three: This will only apply if you have purchased your domain name from a different registrant as outlined in step one. Your URL needs to point to your hosting account. This is easy to do yourself or you can ask the company to do it for you.
You need to point your URL to your hosting company and this is done under the Manage Your Domains area of your account. Your hosting account will give you the name-servers and you simply add those into your details.
Name-server addresses look like ns123.hostgator.com
Step Four: Now you are ready to install WordPress on your account. Log into your hosting account and go to your Cpanel. Look for Fantastico and click on this. Next you will choose the option to install WordPress on your site. Fill in the details, include a password and choose the option to email the details to yourself. This way you have a record of them.
Just follow the instructions and WordPress will be installed. Follow the link to login to your account and you are now ready to start setting up your blog. For quick access always login through your WordPress admin panel, this will be the one that you had emailed to you.

Lots of liberal pundits, including me, say the criminal case against Rick Perry is pretty weak
Almost from the moment a Texas grand jury handed down criminal indictments last week against Texas Gov. Rick Perry, scads of liberals, including yours truly, were scoffing at the case. But a question arises: What would the right-wing noise machine say if a case as weak as the one against Perry were brought against a prominent Democratic politician? Simon Maloy ventures a guess...read more
Why would Republicans abandon the one thing that saved them from Rick Perry in 2012?
The Republican Party establishment is on the verge of imposing new rules on the impending race for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. The results of this effort likely will include fewer debates and fewer candidates. John Dickerson of Slate says the party "wants an orderly process so that their candidates can put their best foot forward" and "take control of the crazy" that dominated the 2012 GOP debates. But Ron Klain of Salon SEES all of this as perhaps misguided: What is crazy is changing the one thing that actually worked well...read more
Satire: Rick Perry brags that the death penalty is alive and well in Texas
Andy Borowitz MOCKS the Lone Star State: Responding to the news that Washington Governor Jay Inslee had suspended the death penalty in his state, Texas Governor Rick Perry seized on the opportunity to urge Washington residents to "vote with your feet and move to Texas, where the death penalty is thriving." At a hastily called press conference this afternoon, the Texas Governor made an emotional appeal to Washingtonians who might be disappointed by the sudden suspension of executions in their state: "Come to Texas.

If Ted Cruz doesn't run for president in 2016, there's always this other crazy guy from Texas
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is rumored to be considering another bid for the Republican presidential nomination, said THIS during a campaign speech today for a fellow GOP politician in New Jersey: If this health care law is forced upon this country, the young men and women in this audience are the ones who are really going to pay the price. And that, I will suggest to you, reaches to the point of being a felony toward them and their future. That is a criminal act, from my perspective, to put that type of burden on them, to mortgage their...read more
Rick Perry, anti-regulation zealot, shirks blame for deadly explosion at Texas fertilizer plant
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who likes to boast that his state doesn't bother much with pesky regulations on industry, takes great umbrage at any suggestion that attitudes like his are at least indirectly responsible for a recent deadly explosion at a plant in the tiny hamlet of West. To be fair, state and federal agencies alike could be faulted for regulatory laxness at the plant in question, as we see HERE. But the fact remains that Perry is especially eager to sell his state as one that imposes relatively little regulation on industry....read more

Emma Watson to launch organic clothing range
London, Nov 14 (IANS) Actress Emma Watson is planning to expand her fashion line by launching an organic clothing range.
The 'Harry Potter' star, who is a creative consultant for Fair Trade fashion brand People Tree, has revealed that she is teaming up with Italian designer Alberta Ferretti to create a new organic clothing range, reports contactmusic.com.
'We are doing an organic clothing range. I can't reveal the name yet but there will be more information about it soon…(Ferretti) wrote to me and said, 'I saw what you did with People Tree and I think it's a great idea and will you do something with me?" the 20-year-old star said.
Emma, however, hints she won't be getting paid for her work with Ferretti. 'I will put it out there that I will work for anyone for free if they are prepared to make their clothing fair trade organic.'
The collection is expected to be released next year.

@Pipcrawler, There is much in what you have to say! and so very true it is a skill that can be learned. Based on solid proven low risk principles of money management and trading skills. It doesn't require a genius just an average Joe that is teachable and has the desire to change his or her life!
I agree - it seems like a really long time until you develop accurate hunches about the market. I'd say a beginner needs years to get here and there is no shortcut. Do you actually have a suggestion about how to make the learning curve steeper? I'm a newbie myself and looking for good tactics.
Tim Ferriss often writes you can pick the brain of experts but I'm afraid that wouldn't even help me. I know I need to take a good course first but then I don't see how I will able to implement everything in practice at once. Any suggestion for this?
Well I agree with you. Trading is indeed an art which needs to be nourished beautifully. And as a piece of art is savored with skill and practice, so is forex trading. Constant learning from mistakes and applying knowledge into practice is the key to success and I suggest for the start set some realistic expectations.
Hello pipcrawler,
Ur words are inspiring, thanks for giving newbies like us little hope… I cant get to your post via the link you posted… Is there a way u can help… I need to read as many helpful materials as possible as i practice… I just graduated off school of pipsology… Thanks
Thanks for the OP. Very interesting and true.
Realistic expectations are definitely needed.
I am using a very successful forex trader as a mentor(not paying him, we work together on a Crypto project) and going through all the training here at Babypips too.
I have given myself 30 months to go full time.
nice strategies must have good stop losses and risk reward ratio. I did suggest that any monthly return aboe 4% monthly is great for beginners
All the newbies are welcome to the babypips forum. I would suggest you to post in the relevant forum in order to get most out of it as people ignore the irrelevant posts. Your time is important for you, so utilize it properly. How did you know about the babypips forum friend?
@Pipcrawler this is so true. I tried to find a way to learn it fast by reading books on the topic and I even joined iMarketsLive to get a "jumpstart" on things, but most of the time, the signals that they fed me didn't help me win alot of money. Good thing I was on a demo account. I'm in no way throwing shade at iML as they do have a great platform for learning and if you have $200/mo to continue using their signals and training (or you have the marketing skills to recruit two people for free membership), it's a good way to start. But for me, personally, I couldn't see myself continuing to rely on other people's signals and the learning on there was too fast-paced for me. BabyPips works for me because I can go at my own pace and I'm learning more on here than on iML. I bookmarked this post so I can come back and remind myself of what you've said. Great post!
Im new to forex been on a demo account trading im looking at trading the GBP/USD as this is the most popular what is the best indicator to use ive read that bollinger bands are the best for forex and what strategy would be a good one
I use a bollinger band mean reversal strategy, mixed with some other factors. 'Adam Khoo' on Youtube has a good video that explains this. You can mix a bunch of strategies together, as long as it makes sense to you.
Just to drop a message, this worth a read.
I strongly agree with pip crawler's thoughts on setting Newbie expectations.
Forex trade one of the most difficult ventures known to man, but it is also one of the most financial rewarding endeavour known to man!
So, acquiring the set skills for a high riding success in this business is not a child's play. It takes a lot of commitment, dedication, patience and hard work to achieve what I call High-ridding success in Forex Trade.
There is no short cut to success in forex…To become a pro in this business We must take time to learn THE SKILLS THAT WILL BENEFIT US FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.

Anybody who thinks they will become a millionaire over night, go to the casino's.
Forex trading is a skill like any other. Practise is needed to get better.
Dont set financial goals - make $1000 this week.
Set smart goals and be disciplined:
Bulls make money, Bears make money, PIGS get slaughtered
Would you be interested in sharing those books with a newbie?
It's 2018, not 2008. A lot has changed. If you are new to Forex Trading a lot of the advice in this thread should be ignored.
Flat out, you are wasting your time. Spending months to learn how to trade and trade a system is completely unnecessary. Does this mean trading FX is a terrible idea? No, but you have to go about it in a completely different manner. We are armed with better information, more information, and better technology than 2008. Trader results are actually verified by independent third-parties rather than self-reported "results" and false assurances.
You can demo a way to trade for 2-6 months and then the market changes on you, but you were caught completely unprepared because the sample size that you used was far too small and subjective.
Plus, you are trading just one strategy. What happens when the strategy does not work with the given market environment? What will you do then? You have no contingency plan, you are just someone who thinks that because they are "educated" and had a little bit of success in a demo environment for a few months that you are entitled to profits. Not how it works. In the long-run, you will lose this way.
You only have just so much of an attention span to focus on multiple charts, make a gut trade, and root on your position.
So throw out the trading psychology and look at trading in a new light. Ever been to Stamford, CT? Remember what it was like at the UBS trading desk in 2008… compare it to the way it is now. The UBS trading desk was bustling with people in front of computers, now you have 1/8 of that space being used by people and the rest was vacant space. Why? It's not because they trimmed down and relocated, it is because they automated their trades. Think these trades are being based on one strategy? They are not.
The barrier to entry for automation is learning how to code and going through the Agile process of building multiple algos. However, it is based in actual results in various market environments along a much longer time frame than any demo, which is a shot in the dark when it comes to verifying whether an approach works or not. Trading requires research and development, not assurances from someone on the Internet that something "works".
It's no secret that the brokers that really emphasize automation and diversification have better profitability rates. Until traders, educators, and brokers acknowledge the real issues… it's just more of the same. Might as well take that $500 to Vegas instead if you want instant gratification, a lack of diversification, and an emotional roller coaster.
Anecdotal evidence is being replaced by a more scientific process. We are in the Era of the Quant Jock, embrace it or ignore it at your own peril.
I have seen many new traders who expect unrealistic things from the market. They think that it is a shortcut to get ultimate success in a quick time. But, practically it is really hard to trade and maintain good profit. So, they need to expect what they can really get. Thanks

Brought my electric lunch box to work last week. I had too many rice dumplings left after the dragon boat festival so I had to clear the stock by eating them for lunch. Thanks to my electric lunch box, I can steam the rice dumplings at my work desk in just 10 mins~
With just half a cup of water, my rice dumpling was steamed till piping hot~ And it's so easy to clean up after that. I only need to pour away the remaining water from the lunch box and wash up the metal container.
So glad that I bought this lunch box~

A new study in by Dr Carl Lavie (Ochsner Health System, New Orleans, LA) showed that the mortality benefits of running are best accumulated in shorter distances, specifically at less than 20 miles per week. In fact, at longer distances, the researchers observed a U-shape relationship between mortality and running, with longer weekly distances trending back in the wrong direction, toward less mortality benefit.
Lavie stressed that the study is one of the largest to date, including data on more than 52 000 men and women participating in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS), results will likely vary among individuals with differing athletic abilities or different ages. Running was associated with a 19% lower risk of all-cause mortality when compared with individuals who did not run. Individuals who ran six and seven miles per hour had a significant 21% and 27% lower risk of all-cause mortality, whereas those who ran eight or more miles per hour had a nonsignificant 7% lower risk of all-cause mortality. Running up to 20 miles per week was associated with a significantly reduced risk of death, with the largest benefit observed in those who ran between 10 to 15 miles weekly. For those who ran 20 to 25 miles and more than 25 miles per week, however, there was a nonsignificant 10% and 5% reduction in all-cause mortality.
Lavie noted that it is impossible to say definitively that more running is making the reduction in all-cause mortality go in the other direction, as it's possible that unmeasured variables might have influenced the results. It's possible that runners might not be taking care of themselves in other ways. Endurance exercise may also be associated with coronary artery calcification, diastolic dysfunction, or arterial stiffening. For a cardiovascular protection thirty to forty minutes of running is better that ninety minutes of running. This study is showing that more is not better when it comes to exercise.

Fitness Friday – lululemon Twist Around Tank and Fast and Free Tight
I love workout gear. I would much rather buy workout gear than normal everyday clothes. I think I've finally found a pant that sucks me in and does NOT fall down. Hallelujah! Here is lululemon's Fast and Free 7/8 Tight. I have to give credit to the sales woman who helped me. I told her how much I love the Align pant, but they have been slipping down on me lately while I'm working out. She said I should size down in those ORRRRRR…try a new pant with more compression at the waist. The fabric is soft like the Align, but also has the compression I was looking for. And after my workout, I'm proud to say these pants didn't budge…and it wicked away the sweat much better than the Align. It was leg day so I was doing a ton of squats and then different intensity intervals with jumping, and yep, they stayed put. I highly recommend these pants!
This Twist Around Tank is so fun. I love how long it is (which may be too long for shorter torso gals). The mesh detail is also a plus. This gave me decent support…would probably not run in this, but I felt pretty secure. It's on sale too, so yay to that!
Instead of wearing my traditional wedding rings to the gym, I opt to wear my Qalo ring. Then I don't have to worry about my metal bands getting scratched up on the metal of the weights! They have a ton of color options and thicknesses. My fingers are pretty small, so I wear a size 5 (my wedding rings are 4.25).
My FitBit finally crapped out on me, so I opted to get an Apple Watch instead. And I love it! I didn't know if I would or not, but I am so glad my parents got me one for Christmas!
And if you are looking for a lightweight shoe to wear for lifting, this Asics Metrolytes are a great option. They are seriously light as a feather, but provide great support for your feet. I wouldn't recommend doing long runs or anything in these though.
Tank/Sports Bra – lululemon Twist and Turn Tank; Pants – lululemon Fast & Free 7/8 Tight; Sneakers – Asics Metrolyte (on sale); Watch – Series 3 Apple Watch; Ring – Qalo

Iraq's Supreme Federal Court has ruled Kurdistan's controversial secession referendum as unconstitutional, saying the results of the vote are void.
"The Federal Court issued the decision to consider the Kurdish region's referendum unconstitutional and this ruling is final," a court spokesman said on Monday.
The tribunal is responsible for settling disputes between Iraq's central government and regions including Kurdistan. The verdict is final and cannot be appealed.
"The power of this ruling should now cancel all the results of the referendum," the spokesman added.
On September 25, the Kurdistan Regional Government held the non-binding referendum on secession from Iraq in defiance of stiff opposition from the central government in Baghdad and much of the international community. Kurdish officials have claimed that over 90 percent of voters said 'Yes' to separation from Iraq.
Political observers have warned that KRG's referendum scenario is in line with Israel's policy of dividing the regional Muslim states.
After the referendum, Baghdad ordered the KRG to hand over airports in the regional Kurdish capital of Erbil, and the city of Sulaimaniya, as well as its border crossings to the central Iraqi government.
It also asked the KRG to either cancel the result of the plebiscite or face potential sanctions, international isolation, and military intervention.
A ban on international flights into and out of the Iraqi Kurdish region also took effect on September 29.
The court had already ordered on November 6 that no region or province could break away from Iraq. Iraqi government forces launched an offensive on October 16 and retook control of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk and other disputed territories.
The KRG said last week that it abided by the ruling, expressing hope that the decision would set the stage for dialog between Baghdad and Erbil.

Recently my husband has been spending more time on the road than at home for work. And this last time he came home he mentioned that he wished he would receive a sign from above to know what to do about a matter we have been pondering for quite some time now. How funny he should ask for this such thing since his wish has been granted loud and clear. As I sit and type in this very moment we are getting hammered with the biggest snow storm….ooops, sorry let me rephrase that…..the biggest blizzard in over 20 years here in WI.
It began Friday evening and is still snowing at this time. We have had 50+ mph winds and so much blowing and drifting that highways are being declared impassable.Snow blowing has been done three times already just to keep up with the drifts forming around our vehicles, boat, and doorways/windows.
And the best part of this whole sign from above is……IT IS APRIL 15!!!!!!!!
In three weeks we are suppose to be camping, hiking, and hopefully wearing a little less clothing than we need to wear right now to go outside.
So to all you enjoying spring time cherry blossoms, tulips poking through the ground, and sunshine on your shoulders…..please, please, take a moment and be thankful you live somewhere this is all happening.
For me, I am not angry about this snow….I am not sad about this snow…I am just smiling and being thankful that my husband got what he needed to now know……we need to make a change and we need to make a change soon.
Thank you GOD….he needed your help and you came through.

A folding weight bench is a piece of exercise equipment that is used as part of weight lifting regimens and has at least one joint within the surface of the bench, allowing the user to make adjustments to its shape. The term folding weight bench can also refer to weight benches that are meant for home use and can be folded up for storage. Even these, however, often have joints in their surfaces. One of the benefits of this kind of folding bench is that it allows users to perform a number of weight lifting exercises.
In most cases, a folding weight bench does not fold at the center. Rather, the joint is much closer to one end of the bench than the other. This allows a user to raise the longer end of the bench and create a chair to support his back, head, and neck. The angle of the chair can be adjusted for comfort. It can also be adjusted so that one is in the best position to perform certain kinds of weight lifting exercises.
The surface of the bench, where a weight lifter sits or reclines, is padded. The padding may be covered in leather or a synthetic material that is similar to leather. The rest of the bench, however, is metal. It is also common for a folding weight bench to have a padded cylinder connected to one of its legs. A weight lifter can tuck his feet around this cylinder in order to brace his body for certain kinds of exercises.
The deigns for folding weight benches can vary quite a bit, and this is especially true when it comes to the legs of the bench and any other components that accompany the bench. In some cases, for example, a folding weight bench fits into a larger workout system. This sort of workout system may include rigging that allows weight lifters to practice bench presses. Prices for folding weight benches can vary quite a bit, depending on the the manufacturer and the store.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Full of mixed emotions, I'm sure every parent goes through it.
The first birthday draws closer and yet you can't deicide to be happy, sad, excited or do you let the anxiety wash over you.
Being caught in an emotional break down of the fact I've been called mummy for nearly a whole year and yet i don't know whats more depressing, that she is growing so fast or the fact I'm still carrying the tummy.
On the other hand i couldn't be more happier that this sweet baby has grown into the most perfect stroppiest drama queen of a toddler. Who can not help but make you smile.
But when the days race a head of you and another evening ends with her in bed, you can't help but wonder where does the time go? One moment you're packing a hospital bag full of worry and uncertainty, waiting to see this face thats been growing so wonderfully inside you. The next you're holding her hand whilst she takes her first few steps and planning the day where she goes from baby to toddler.
Do the days ever slow down or do you just soak it up way more than you should just so you don't ever forget what that moment feels like.
For now i wait for the tantrums, the grazed knees, the first sentences, the first day of school and watching her grow everyday into an even more perfect little girl.
Here is to turning 1.

What an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL… BROKEN HALLELUJAH! ♥
Reason to Sing… [25 minutes]
A Journey Through Pain « River of Life, Copenhagen NY
-with Karrie Roch
If you've ever wondered "Where is God?" in the midst of an inconceivably bad day; when you've lost more than you thought you had- having waited so long to have it; when you're stuck living in the middle of your worst nightmare and can't awake to shake it; or when you feel like there is no one left to share it & 'you alone' are alive to tell it… have a listen to Karrie's journey through it all. [You'd be wise to bring your tissues!]
As you journey with her, expect to be in shock, watch the love of your life disappear, loose feeling in your body, hear heart-breaking news, remember once again- your worst fears, operate in shear disbelief ['God would never do this to me! He loves me!'], be angry with the world, forget how to breathe and everything else you once knew about Him, re-learn how to worship, 'Speak the Truth about God, until believing it', push through the songs, pick up that guitar, and find a reason to sing.
"His presence was silent at times,
but strong and protective!"
"God showed me something tremendous!"
"During announcements, God dropped something in my heart; He spoke to me in that moment–
And He said… 'Just as your dad was there with you, right beside you… I was there for you all the more!'"
What a God-given blessing and power-full living testimony Karrie is and will continue to be. ♥
"Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" [Esther 4:14]
"There is God NOW!"
… jams4JESUS
It was clear to me, as Karrie began speaking about her Dad, even while in the midst, the height & the depth of her nightmare, I could see exactly where God was! Right by her side! How did [& do]I know? The same reason you do. We've seen Him!
(And for those of you who don't… Sing your heart out until you do!) 😀
38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. [Romans 8]
11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. [Revelation 12]

I've seen before where some questions get closed as duplicates of unanswered(or even closed) questions. Is this behavior that should be encouraged?
For instance, there has been a few times where I was going to ask a question and found a similar question beforehand. The similar question had no good answers for me, but I didn't create a new question because I knew it'd get closed as a duplicate. Even if my question was more specific, it was still related enough to be considered a duplicate(even though mine may be more easy to answer due to additional info.)
What do you think? Should asking unanswered questions be OK and not closed as duplicates? Or should we encourage bumping the unanswered question instead or something similar?
Also, some of these questions are so old as to be irrelevant to now. For instance, if a question from 2008 was posted as "What is the best way of dropping this and using jQuery?" back in 2008, a plugin may not have existed that now does. So the good answer of "Try the jQuery plugin Drop-jQuery-and-try-jQuery" will not have been posted. And even if it is bumped, then a person that knows about this plugin may not put it as an answer because the answer is so old as to not matter to the asker now.

KeyforCash.com is a data entry site that will pay you around 40 cents for every 1,000 keystrokes -- maybe more and maybe less, depending on market conditions. That can be enough for some extra cash but definitely not enough to make a living. To begin working for KeyforCash you have to take and pass their evaluation. The evaluation consists of three parts, numeric, letters only, and dollars only. Here's some tips to pass the test!
The keyforcash evaluation will show you a snippet or image at the top of the screen of what you need to type. It's very important that you follow the directions given at the beginning of the evaluation. When in the letters only section be sure type only letters. Capitalization does not matter. In the numeric section key only numbers with no punctuation. In dollars only you'll want to type the dollar portion only with no cents. For example, if the snippet shows 365.45, the correct answer is 365.
If the snippet is ineligible don't type anything and hit enter to the next snippet. If the snippet is blank you'll want to enter a slash like this "/". Occasionally, when in numeric, you will get a snippet that is just letters, this would be blank because there are no numbers to enter. It is also blank if the snippet shows a number or word that has been crossed out.
Another step that is often overlooked is speed. You'll want to take the evaluation as fast as you can while still maintaining accuracy.
If at first you don't succeed, try again! You can retake the evaluation with Keyforcash once every 24 hours per e-mail address. So, the trick here is to try with another e-mail address, or multiple addresses if you have them. If Keyforcash is hiring and you've passed the evaluation you should receive an e-mail within 24 hours of passing the test. The goal is to get 99 to 100 percent accuracy. Most people that have been hired within the last year were within that range. Good luck!

Google Glass Explorer Edition getting updated XE5 software, brings with it new features and enhancements
Google pushes out Glass software update, brings bug fixes and new features to the headset
By: Trace Hagan from May 8, 2013 @ 2:09 CDT
We're a bit in love with Google Glass. We're closely following along the progress made by Glass and are happy to report that it is receiving a software update that brings with it a bunch of new features. According to Google, the update brings with it a host of changes, including crash reporting.
- Change to sync policy: require power + wifi for background uploads
- Crash reporting
- Incoming G+ notifications (direct shares, comments, +mentions), including ability to comment and +1
- Incoming Hangout notifications
- Transcription of queries & messages is now wicked-fast
- Long-press to search from anywhere in the UI (no longer just from off)
- International number dialing + SMS
- Hop animation on disallowed swipes in the UI
- New On-Head Detection calibration flow
- Show device Serial Number on Device Info card
- More reliable estimation of battery charge remaining
- New recipient-list mosaic
One interesting change worth noting is that background syncing now requires the device to be on a local Wi-Fi network and plugged into power. We imagine this is to increase the rather short battery life, but can't confirm this as the reason. Other notable changes include the addition of Google+ notifications.
If you have an Explorer Edition in your possession, simply plug it into a power source and Google should take care of the rest.

Sharjah's low cost carrier posts record full year net profits growth for the first time since 2014
Air Arabia's latest results suggest the airline is finding ways to make low-cost travel work for it better than ever before.
Statements released yesterday show a full year 2017 net profit of $180 million (AED 662m) up 30 percent from last year. The year's figures are the first time since 2014 that the airline has managed to reverse a downward trend in profitability.
Results were boosted by a massive fourth quarter: the airline's profit figures surged 177 percent to $7m (AED26m), as it flew nearly a quarter of the 8.5 million customers it ferried across the skies over the year during the last three months of the year.
The airline's turnover in 2017 remained in line with the previous year, at $1 billion (AED 3.74bn). The numbers are roughly the same as it has been posting since 2015, suggesting it is in economies of scale, routes and ticket prices, and differentiated offerings that the airline is tweaking to deliver its profitability.
Air Arabia added 21 routes to its global network last year, adding four new aircraft to its fleet of 50 Airbus A320 aircraft. More than 8.5 million passengers flew with Air Arabia in 2017 at an average seat load factor of 79 percent.
Air Arabia has "the right business model, operating base and infrastructure in place to continue delivering … the highest returns to our shareholders," said Air Arabia chairman, Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammad Al Thani in a statement.
"The solid operating metrics and high seat load factor that Air Arabia achieved in the fourth quarter were positively impacted by improvement in yield margins and capacity rationalisation that the market has seen in the last quarter. We are extremely confident about the long-term fundamentals of the aviation sector in the region which is driven by the underlying demand for air travel, major investments undertaken in aviation infrastructure in the region as well as the region's hub position on the global map," he added.For all the latest transport news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

Incredible Video of Solar Eclipse Reveals Details of the Sun
Photographer Corey Poole sent us this video today showing yesterday's solar eclipse.
Amazing to watch the workings of a star that holds so much influence over our planet!
60 second time-lapse video made from 700 individual frames through a Coronado Solar Max 60 Double Stacked Hydrogen Alpha Solar Telescope. The pictures were shot in Redding California which was directly in the annular eclipse path. The filter on the telescope allows you to see the chromosphere which is a layer that contains solar prominences. The filter only allows light that is created when hydrogen atoms go from the 2nd excited state to the 1st excited state.

Having problems with apartment
Ask a Lawyer
QuestionCountry: United States of America
State: Texas
I gave application to move to apartment on 27th Nov,05 and move date was 1st Dec,2005. Even I went to apartment rental office on 28th nov to conform the same. They told me that they are working on this and will be done by 30th Nov. so that I can move on 1st Dec. Hence I called the Texas gas services to get me the Gas connection on 1st Dec, 2005. They asked me to drop authorization letter and keep the door open so that the Gas connection can be set to on.When I went to rental apartment on 1st Morning they told me that the papers are not ready and it will be done by 5:00PM. And only at 6:15PM I got the keys of the apartment. When I went to my new apartment, I saw a note from the Gas company saying that they were there at 1:57PM to set the connection on and since the door was locked and the apartment office was closed they cannot set the gas connection on. When I called them on 2nd Dec, they told me that since they attempted and could not get inside the apartment the next date on which I can get the gas connection only on 6th Dec. In this winter, myself, my pregnant wife and 3.5 yrs old kid are surving without hot water and house heating. Also the windows are not that good. We are getting cold air from the side of the windows and making the bedroom really cold. My daughter and wife got cold. I will like to take this matter to the apartment people for not giving me apartment on time.Please suggest, how I can do this.Can I sue them for the in-convienece caused to myself and my family.

'Jersey Boys,' Not Your High Moral Showstopper
Many people have been anticipating "Jersey Boys," the new movie about the iconic 1960s pop singers -- The Four Seasons.
For starters its director is Clint Eastwood. But it's the timeless music that's drawing crowds.
Yet. Bob Waliszewski, with Focus on the Family's Entertainment Review Department, said apart from the crooning, the storyline falls flat.
He warns the loose and immoral lifestyles of these infamous singers makes it a family friendly flop.
If you're looking for a cinematic must see, Waliszewski suggests "Belle," which he gives a 4.5 out of 5.

Cumbernauld remain bottom of the BT West Division 2 table after going down 41-7 at Millbrae on Saturday.
But despite the defeat - and the relentless attention from the local midges - the spectators were treated to an excellent game of rugby with the hosts only overpowering their New Town guests with a late splurge of tries.
Millbrae pressed aggressively from the start and turned that pressure into a converted try after 17 minutes when they powered over after good forwards' pressure.
However there was an element of controversy involved when, following a forward pass by Ayr, Cumbernauld stole possession and broke out of their own 22.
Chris Maxwell looked to have evaded his tackler and was hacked from behind for clearly a red-card offence, when the referee signalled that he intended to give a scrum to Cumbernauld following the initial forward pass infringement.
Common sense should have dictated that Cumbernauld be given the benefit of advantage and were likely to score. As it happened, Cumbernauld lost possession leading to Millbrae's opening try.
Down, but not disheartened Cumbernauld, showed their cutting edge when Zac Davies brilliantly intercepted a wayward Millbrae pass inside his own 22 and galloped some 70 metres to score beneath the posts, with Jordan Reid adding the conversion.
The home side were clearly rattled and this was manifested with the yellow card shown to their prop forward after some naughty stuff in the lineout.
But Millbrae were not be outdone and from a scrum, the ball was transferred to their winger who touched down following a great pick up from a poor pass. The try was duly converted to give the Honest Men a 14-7 half-time lead.
Up to this Cumbernauld had been performing valiantly with some great personal performances, especially Anthony Rice who doubled as full-back and lineout jumper on Cumbernauld's ball.
At the start of the second half, Cumbernauld lost Ian Hepburn to injury and, given his outstanding contribution to the Cumbernauld cause in the first half, this seemed to illustrate the task facing the Badgers.
And so it came to pass as Millbrae took advantage of this loss to score shortly after the loss of the Cumbernauld back row forward.
In the lead up to this score Anthony Rice tackled superbly on two occasions but could do little to prevent Millbrae adding to their try tally.
Millbrae went onto record three more tries in a thrilling second half with another yellow card adding to Cumbernauld's woes.
But the final score of 41-7 did not accurately reflect Cumbernauld's spirited display which was much improved from the previous week.
Other players who gave a decent account of themselves included Willie Bulloch for his brave tackling, Robert McGeach for his defence and Paul Justice who performed creditably as hooker.
Special mention must go to Caleb Strang, making his first XV debut and Chris Maxwell, two youngsters who showed up well, while the Millbrae players picked stand-off Jordan Reid as the Cumbernauld man-of-the-match.
Next Saturday Cumbernauld travel to Paisley and players are reminded that training is mandatory for all at Croy next Thursday from 7-9 pm.
