Will WeWork's New Meatless Expense Policy Backfire?
The flexible office startup WeWork told its 6,000 employees last week that it would no longer pay for any red meat, poultry, or pork at company events or allow employees to expense meat meals, Bloomberg reported:
In an email to employees this week outlining the new policy, co-founder Miguel McKelvey said the firm's upcoming internal "Summer Camp" retreat would offer no meat options for attendees. "New research indicates that avoiding meat is one of the biggest things an individual can do to reduce their personal environmental impact," said McKelvey in the memo, "even more than switching to a hybrid car." Individuals requiring "medical or religious" allowances are being referred to the company's policy team to discuss options. A WeWork spokeswoman confirmed the contents of the memo.
Other startups have adopted no-meat policies, but these companies are predominantly makers of health and lifestyle products, which attract a specific set of customers and employees whose values and interests align with those policies. WeWork, by comparison, is a growing player in the global commercial real estate business with offices in 76 cities around the world. As such, Felix Salmon comments at Slate, the policy of banning meat (but not fish or eggs) at company-provided meals will likely "cause a ridiculous amount of agita for its frontline staffers and, especially, the benighted HR folks tasked with enforcing the policy." He also criticizes the policy as internally incoherent when measured against its own stated purpose:
It bans lamb, for instance, and it bans chicken, but it doesn't ban eggs. Eggs cause just as much environmental damage as chickens do, and much less than lamb does. It's hard to see much environmental logic in a policy that's fine with factory-farmed salmon but that forbids people from eating pigeon. (There are far too many pigeons in the world, eat as many as you want.)

Impossibilia, my first collection of short fiction, from the award-winning UK press, PS Publishing, as part of their "Showcase" series highlighting genre fiction's best up-and-coming writers.
With an introduction by award-winning UK fantasy and mystery writer, Chaz Brenchley, Impossibilia contains two brand new novelettes, "A Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase, by Van Gogh" and "Going Down to Lucky Town," plus a reprint of my award-winning novelette, "Spirit Dance," the story on which my first novel is based.
Aurora Award WINNER — "Spirit Dance"
Aurora Award Finalist — "Bouquet of Flowers..."
PS Publishing, 2008
Introduction by Chaz Brenchley
Jacketed hardcover (ISBN 978-1906301017)
Hardcover (ISBN 978-1848630000)
Ebook (ISBN 978-0991800711)
We all have things we hide away inside—secrets, fears, aspects of ourselves we keep locked away. Or try to.
In that respect, the characters we meet in Impossibilia are like any of us. They have things inside them too. Only their things are a little... different.
A dead wife that won't leave. A wolf. The secret to being the luckiest man alive.
In 'Bouquet of Flowers in Vase, by van Gogh', remote viewing drives a search through the past for lost masterpieces. An ex-CIA agent, haunted by the presence of his dead wife, falls in love with a beautiful remote viewer with her own secret. But can viewing the past change the present?
Cree Indian legends, a love triangle, a covert government agency, and shape shifters collide in the award-winning 'Spirit Dance', described in Challenging Destiny as "...a vivid and wonderfully written tale about Native Canadian spirits, in the vein of Thomas King."
In 'Going Down to Lucky Town', an itinerant gambler chases a streak of luck across the country, while trying to win back the love of his daughter. The secret he finds forces him into an ultimate gamble for the highest stakes of all: his daughter's life.
And through all the stories, these characters share one more thing beyond what they hold inside. In the decisions they face, in the choices they make, they do what they do out of love. Lost love, found love, the love of a child. But love. So maybe they aren't that different from us after all...

"There are three stories in this collection, and they reach from van Gogh's rural France to the classic travelling fair to the far lost forest, and from timeshift to shapeshift to the activity of luck. That's range, or at least a glimpse of range, in the grand manner that harks back to Bradbury and Sturgeon and Ellison;"
—Chaz Brenchley
"Rarely have I seen such an apt title to any book! Douglas Smith has given us three amazing stories that are so unusual and beautiful that no other name than Impossibilia could possibly describe this collection. Each tale was rapture and ecstasy, magical and mysterious, perfect and implausible. In short, I loved them all from the first word to the last. ... I don't know what else to say without spoiling things for you so I won't say anything else, except READ THIS BOOK!!!"
— Jim Dodge Jr., Mass Movement Magazine, May 2009
"The three stories collected in 'Impossibilia' are very different, covering almost the entire range of speculative genres. The writing is superb. Douglas Smith is an artisan and his stories beautifully crafted. ... In my search for the perfect short story, the three in this volume certainly qualify."
—Kelly Jensen, SF Crowsnest Book Reviews, 2009
"Both thematically and stylistically, these stories sometimes recall the work of better known authors, including Harlan Ellison, Theodore Sturgeon, and Ray Bradbury. But Smith puts such a personal stamp on his stories, and invests them with such depth of feeling, that they transcend the dangers of … imitation and emerge as wholly original. … There is a certain exhilaration that comes from reading the book's complex and powerfully emotional stories couched in that deft and smooth prose. It is easy to see why PS Publishing considers Smith an author who deserves more attention. … [Smith deserves] to be known to by a very wide audience indeed."
—Matt Cardin, Dead Reckonings review magazine, No. 5, Spring 2009
"Highly, highly recommended."
—Liviu Suciu, Fantasy Book Critic, 2009
"Impossibilia is a treasure to be savoured, like gourmet chocolates and fine wine. It includes three superb stories…each beautifully written and wondrously imagined. It took me several days to get through this book. Not because it is in any way difficult to read--far from it and quite the opposite: the stories in this collection are so wonderful, I wanted to take time to digest and enjoy each and every one."
—Rainbow Dragon Recommends, 2009
"The stories in this collection reach from van Gogh's rural France to the classic travelling fair to the far lost forest, and from timeshift to shapeshift to the activity of luck. That's range, or at least a glimpse of range, in the grand manner that harks back to Bradbury and Sturgeon and Ellison"
— Chaz Brenchley, award-winning UK writer, 2008
"Each story [in Impossibilia] is unique and different, showcasing a different aspect of Douglas Smith's talent. [...] A fun romp that delivered something different [with] stories that are exhilarating, enjoyable, and well above competence."
— Charles Tan, Bibliophile Stalker - Speculative Fiction Reviews, 2008
"A book that ably demonstrates what Smith is capable of as a writer, added to which, anyone who references Springsteen songs in their titles is going to get the thumbs up from me."
— Peter Tennant, Black Static Magazine, March 2009
"In his elegant and perceptive introduction to this latest showcase collection from PS Publishing, Chaz Brenchley reminds us that 'the proper focus of a story, any story, lies in the characters that inhabit it.' In the three novelettes that comprise Impossibilia, Douglas Smith [lays] bare the psychological and emotional fragility that motivates his characters."
— Mike O'Driscoll, The Fix, 2008
"Aptly named, Impossiblilia introduces the reader to Douglas Smith's magical reality where the impossible is readily accepted as normal. ... [The] three letter perfect stories behind the expressionist cover art admirably display Mr. Smith's considerable creativity."
— Kent Knopp-Schwyn, Hellnotes, September 2009
"Stories with hope are stories I need. ... I would very cheerfully read more stories by this author. ... Worth reading: definitely."
—The International Review of Science Fiction, #106, Summer 2009
"A wonderful book...Each [story] is an example of how a master at the art tells a story... Impossibilia is an amazing little collection.
— Erik Buchanan, writer, 2009

Excerpts from the Stories in Impossibilia
Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase, by Van Gogh
by Douglas Smith
Aurora Award Finalist
The painting screams Laure's name at Maroch. He stares at it in disbelief, choking back his own scream.
It is a still life by van Gogh. This gallery in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris is devoted to Vincent. Beneath the painting, a still life now herself, Laure lies dead.
You should have known she would come here, my love, says a voice inside Maroch's head. It is a woman's voice, but not Laure's.
I should have known a lot of things, he answers silently.
Don't look at her, says the voice.
I can't help it.
The scrub team works on Laure. Maroch had sent for them when the museum's Director called him. He still has some pull at the Company.
Don't look.
Maroch pulls his eyes away as the team lifts Laure's slim corpse onto the body bag. Instead, he stares at the painting, which is like Laure in two very particular ways: it is beautiful--and it is impossible.
Beautiful. Against a dark blue background, an explosion of flowers overwhelms a white vase. Overwhelms the viewer, too. The flowers, mostly white and yellow chrysanthemums, seem ready to burst from the canvas, run wild over the frame, spill onto the gallery floor. Spill, like Laure lies spilled.
Impossible. This painting can't exist. But her body gives lie to that. He reads the plaque beside the painting:
"Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase: This still life is not mentioned in van Gogh's letters and has puzzled scholars as to its place in his artistic production. Most certainly a late work and possibly the Museum's first painting from his Auvers period (May-July 1890)"
Yes, most certainly a late work, he thinks. Very late. ...
Spirit Dance
by Douglas Smith
Aurora Award Winner
In the beginning of things, men were as animals and animals as men.-- Cree legend
Vera made a warding sign as I entered the store, my hound Gelert trailing behind me. She pretended to wipe her hands on her faded blue apron, but I caught the dance of her fingers.
"Hello, Vera. It's been a while," I said.
"Yes, yes it has, Mr. Blaidd," she said too quickly, not returning my smile. Turning from where she'd been refilling a food bin, she addressed her husband. "I gotta check something in the back, Ed." Almost running, she slipped behind the long wooden counter and into the storeroom at the rear of the store.
Edward Two Rivers leaned on the counter beside the cash register, a newspaper spread in front of him, his long gray hair spilling onto the pages. He watched her leave then smiled at me.
"Ouch," I said.
"You still spook her," he chuckled.
"Are you going to run and hide too?" I asked, grinning.
The black eyes narrowed, but his smile remained. "Vera's a white woman. My people have told legends of the Herok'a for generations, Grey Legs. I grew up with those stories. I've known others of your kind...and I think I still know you." ...
Going Down to Lucky Town
by Douglas Smith
If the friends and enemies of Charles Tobias Perlman could agree on one thing, it was this--you never bet against Charlie the Pearl.
And if his enemies numbered higher than his friends, well, Charlie just put it down to the life he had lived. A life that did not appear, at that particular moment, as if it would be lived much longer.
He lay in the dirt behind the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto on a beautiful August evening of 1967. His mouth was bleeding and his head throbbing from the beating just delivered by Eddie Fenton, his former partner-in-crime who was now taking out a gun.
Reaching down, Eddie pulled the big pearl stickpin from Charlie's tie. He polished it with a couple of rubs on his paisley shirt, then stuck it in the lapel of his dirty denim jacket.
Charlie looked up at him, licking blood from his lips. "That," he commented, "looks ridiculous."
"Shaddup." Eddie aimed the revolver at Charlie's head. "Payback time, old man. Looks like my lucky day."
Recent events ran through Charlie's head faster than a drugged filly. He spat out a broken tooth and chuckled. "Kid, you know absolutely nothing about luck."
Eddie laughed. "And you do? Lying bleeding in the dirt and about to eat a bullet?" He pulled back the hammer with a click that sounded like two dice knocking together. "You got nothing left to teach me, pops."
With an amazing degree of detachment, Charlie watched Eddie's finger tighten on the trigger. "Trust me, kid," Charlie said quietly, "I'm about to give you one last lesson."
It had all started four weeks ago. ...

So when I saw the shrill reaction to yesterday's loss, I got to wondering about where the loss ranked for Georgetown and within the Big East generally.
There are two ways to think about the results of basketball games: wins and losses, and the final score. Stat-heads tend to use the latter - probably to a fault - since it has proven the best means of predicting future results. But at the end of the day, wins and losses are what get you paid.
Let's take a crack at each.
Margin of Victory
If you're just wondering where a Georgetown game ranks in terms of the difference between final score and expected final score, you can always find that here at the Performance Charts page (link). The math behind the performance charts (original discussion here and here) is not perfect, since it applies teams' current stats from KenPom.com retroactively, but I think it does a good job providing context to a game.
I'll reproduce the Georgetown's current overall performance chart below (note that I also break out offensive and defensive performance on that page):
By this metric, yesterday's loss was Georgetown's worse of the year.
As of this morning, if Georgetown and Notre Dame played again at the Verizon Center, we'd expect Georgetown to win by 7 points; instead they lost by 14. Of course, our system is blind to certain vagaries, such as Austin Freeman trying to play with a viral infection or Notre Dame enjoying some new-found ability without their purported leader (more on that in my next post).
Yesterday's game noses out the South Florida loss as the worst performance of the year by the Hoyas.
This got me to wondering how this game fits into the Big East picture as a whole. Was this the worst performance by a Big East team all year? In conference?
Here are the worst perfomances for Big East teams so far this year, using today's stats. Note that I'm being more tempo-free rigorous by sorting by efficiency difference [actual eff. margin - expected eff. margin] rather than scoring difference [actual score - expected score]. Also, I'm using efficiency as points per 100 possessions to avoid those pesky decimals.
Team Opponent Site Result Score Poss. Eff. Diff Louisville Charlotte Home L 87 65 67 -50 Georgetown Notre Dame Home L 78 64 58 -37 Louisville Western Carolina Home L 91 83 83 -36 Pittsburgh Indiana Neutral L 74 64 74 -34 South Florida St. John's Home L 74 58 59 -32 Louisville St. John's Away L 74 55 64 -32 Connecticut Cincinnati Home L 60 48 63 -30 Notre Dame Loyola Marymount Home L 87 85 71 -29 Georgetown South Florida Home L 72 64 65 -29 DePaul Mississippi St. Neutral L 76 45 68 -28 St. John's Providence Home L 74 59 73 -28 Pittsburgh Notre Dame Away L 68 53 51 -28 Notre Dame Idaho St. Home W 80 70 65 -28 Syracuse Pittsburgh Home L 82 72 75 -28
I've arbitrarily picked the 14 worst games in order to make the point that a team can win a game but still play terribly doing so, if they're playing a massively inferior opponent.
A few other thoughts:
- This is a glass half-empty, glass half-full sort of analysis. You can also say that Notre Dame's win over Georgetown was the Irish's best performance of the year.
- Four teams show up with multiple slots on the list (Louisville, Georgetown, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame). Both of Louisville's and Notre Dame's games and one of Pitt's games were in the early going. Both of the Hoyas' bad performances were in February.
- Generally, it's harder to have a bad performance on the road, since teams are expected to play worse on the road. Louisville and Pitt are the exceptions to the rule here.
- Speaking of the Cardinals, one game is unlike any other on that list. Hopefully, that 22-point blowout at home has some extenuating circumstances that I'm not privy to.
- It's hard to believe that losing by 10 points to Pitt would be considered a terrible performance, but that should provide some context as to just how well Syracuse is playing this year.
Allow me to produce a second list, looking only at conference games:
Team Opponent Site Result Score Poss. Eff. Diff Georgetown Notre Dame Home L 78 64 58 -37 South Florida St. John's Home L 74 58 59 -32 Louisville St. John's Away L 74 55 64 -32 Connecticut Cincinnati Home L 60 48 63 -30 Georgetown South Florida Home L 72 64 65 -29 St. John's Providence Home L 74 59 73 -28 Pittsburgh Notre Dame Away L 68 53 51 -28 Syracuse Pittsburgh Home L 82 72 75 -28 Providence Louisville Home L 92 70 71 -27 Syracuse Louisville Home L 66 60 58 -26 Providence Marquette Away L 93 63 67 -26 Seton Hall Pittsburgh Away L 83 58 66 -25 Villanova Connecticut Home L 84 75 70 -23 Connecticut Providence Away L 81 66 78 -23 Rutgers West Virginia Away L 86 52 64 -22
Georgetown's loss yesterday was the worst performance in conference so far this season, by a substantial margin. Interestingly, the loss at Rutgers doesn't look as bad now as it did then (it's way down the list here: -19 eff. difference), as the Scarlet Knights are 5-3 in their last 8 conference games.
Syracuse has lost only two games all year, and they both rank as some of the lousiest performances of the year in the Big East. Translation: a team will have to play brilliantly to beat them.
There are some schizophrenic teams in the league:
- Providence has two Top-14 performances (at St. John's and vs. UConn) and two of the Bottom-10 (vs. Louisville and at Marquette).
- St. John's, Pitt and Louisville have two great games and one terrible one on the list; UConn has one great performance and two terrible ones.
Wins and Losses
I suspect that my reader is blinking his eyes a bit by now, wondering why I'm so obsessed with scoring margins when the bragging rights and suffering are determined only by whether the Hoyas can win the game.
So how do we rank wins and losses? Well, I can calculate the win probabilities (as seen on KenPom's scouting report pages) for each game played, and look for the biggest outright upsets, here as losses when expected to win. I'm limiting this to just conference games:
Losing Team Opponent Site Score Odds Georgetown South Florida Home 72 64 86% Syracuse Louisville Home 66 60 85% Marquette DePaul Road 51 50 85% Syracuse Pittsburgh Home 82 72 83% Georgetown Rutgers Road 71 68 82% Connecticut Cincinnati Home 60 48 78% Georgetown Notre Dame Home 78 64 78% Villanova Connecticut Home 84 75 76% Notre Dame St. John's Home 69 68 76% West Virginia Villanova Home 82 75 72% Notre Dame Rutgers Road 74 73 72% St. John's Providence Home 74 59 70% Marquette Pittsburgh Home 58 51 68%
This should all be straight-forward except the odds column, which is the odds that the losing team would have of winning the game if it were to be replayed today (same venue). The list is limited to games with the odds greater than 68%, i.e. games where the favorite is more than one standard deviation above even odds.
About half of the games show up on both lists: MU at DePaul is the worst outright loss that didn't make the worst performance list, and South Florida hosting St. John's is the worst performance that didn't make the worst outright loss list (the Bulls would be 64% favorites in that game today).
It should be noted that good teams are far more likely to be here than bad teams - for example, DePaul would only be a favorite to win one game this season (at home against Rutgers [61%], a game they lost).
- Georgetown once again has the worst loss, now as an outright loss rather than as performance. The Hoyas are also the only team with three bad outright losses on the list. This is making me more and more depressed as I write this up.
- Both of Syracuse's losses were games they should have won easily.
- The worst road loss so far is Marquette's 1-point loss to DePaul, a game that didn't show up on the performance lists (since Marquette only lost by one point, it wasn't as bad a performance as their home loss to NC State [77-73].
- Showing up on the "Opponent" column multiple times is a mixed blessing - Rutgers will be a big underdog even in some of their home games, so many of their wins are a big deal, while Pitt would probably prefer to have not been such an underdog at Marquette in the first place.
- Four of the upsets were 1-possession games: Marquette/DePaul, Georgetown/Rutgers, Notre Dame/St. John's and Notre Dame/Rutgers. It's tempting to invert the results of each of those games, making Marquette 10-5, Georgetown 10-6 and Notre Dame 10-6 heading into Sunday's games.
So there it is. Georgetown holds the distinction of having the worst performance and the worst loss in conference play so far this year, and they're not even the same game.

Medik8 Collagen Induction Therapy
Medical Grade Depth
Collagen Induction Therapy (also known as skin needling) is a safe and increasingly popular skin renewal technique to restore the healthy youthful appearance of your skin.
Visible signs of skin rejuvenation are usually seen just after 6 weeks following the treatment and continue to improve for up to a year or more, we recommend a minimum course of three skin needling treatments, at six week intervals to achieve optimum results. Skin needling procedures are comparable to ablative laser techniques but are much less invasive, resulting in minimal downtime.
Skin needling is also one of the few skin therapies that are suitable for all skin types including ethnic skin and fragile skin around the eyes, mouth, hands, neck and décolletage.

Digital-first publishers, like Group Nine, Buzzfeed and ATTN, are seeing spikes in mobile video consumption from millennials. With strategies focused on cross-platform video distribution, it makes sense that they're seeing record video-viewing stats from viewers under the age of 35 who are actively engaged on social media.
The case for caution: Video viewing measurement on social platforms still varies from platform to platform, so while these numbers are impressive, they can't all be compared apples to apples.

I've compared notes, and it seems most people north of thirty (and quite a few chronological southeners) have had a similar experience with Facebook. So let's get to it:
A Year's Evolution of Facebook For Grownups
Month One:
You ignore it.
Because the first person you heard about this Facebook thing from was a teenager, you immediately determined that it was not a website you needed to be concerned with. You might have slunk to the young adult reading section for your copy of Twilight (wearing sunglasses, natch); possibly you own more than a few tops from Macy's junior section, but there is a line. You have LinkedIn. It's for grownups.
Month Two:
You ignore it some more.
Someone at a cocktail party brings up this Facebook thing, and they are not eighteen. They consider themselves too well read to sink to the level of teenaged vampire romances and have on a Jil Sander dress. Too late, however, because you have now decided it's cooler to continue to ignore Facebook. You note, with just a hint of disdain, that your niece has a Facebook page, and change the subject to your blog.
Month Three:
So maybe you will just go look at someone's Facebook page. This requires an account, but really, what's the harm? You create a barebones account. No photo. Ten or so friends. You poke someone.
Month Four:
You add a profile picture. You join groups for your grad school, college, high school, middle school, elementary school and summer camp's alumni.
Month Five:
You have two hundred and thirty four friends. You log on regularly and glow when you see the number.
Month Six:
You have two hundred and twenty nine friends. Elections happened. Things were posted to walls. You realize you are not entirely politically compatible with your neighbor's sister's dog walker or the girl who sat next to you in Biology twenty years ago, so you de-friend them immediately.
Month Seven:
You begin to get picky about who you will send friend requests to, and who you will accept as friends. You decide only people that you regularly interact with on a daily basis will make the cut. You turn a blind eye to two hundred people currently on your friend list who do not meet this description.
Month Eight:
Someone at work comments on those photos you were tagged in the last night of your girl's weekend. You quickly become an expert in Facebook Security Settings and Friend Lists.
Month Eight and a Half:
Everyone at work starts asking you why they can no longer post to your wall or see your photos.
Month Nine:
You wonder if you are the only person who updates your status multiple times a day. You deliberately refrain from updating your status to create the appearance that you have a life.
Month Ten:
Your parents mention a possible interest in a Facebook account. You feign disinterest, but immediately form a plan to add them to the same list as your work colleagues if they ever join.
Month Eleven:
By now, you're checking Facebook before you check email or voicemail. You have a enough hours logged to officially be an expert on Facebook annoyances (quizzes!), are on level two hundred in Mafia Wars and recently purchased a lovely cottage for your property in Farm Town.
Month Twelve:
Your Facebook Anniversary will pass unnoticed. You are too busy sending out birthday greetings to one hundred ninety six people who never before received so much as a birthday text from you. A distant friend just had a baby and you must comment on the photos she posts. There is a burgeoning political debate on another friend's wall that may result in you defriending two people, and this must be taken under careful consideration. Also, Kleenex is recalling all the lotion enhanced tissues they sold between January and April and were it not for Facebook, how would you ever have known.
Facebook? You Like This.

Currently, the LE chip exists to protect tradeskillers and levellers against big bads. It has the money malus, and the XP malus, but it's still possible to get things like WoC with an LE in. This feels a bit wrong.
I'm looking for realistic ideas to encourage players to pull their LEs out.
My first suggestion is that the Malus begins at level 40, and pretty much cripples a character by 55. By this point, they should be strong enough to defend against PKs, or run away at least. It gives them a boost on the levelling at lower levels, so they can get into the game quicker.
Now, for the record, I AM a recovering Carebear. It's only in the last couple of months I've joined a clan. However, I'm now having significantly more fun. You have better protection, it's easier to arrange farming/fighting, you can pool resources to get stuff you simply can't get on your own without a significant output of effort. IMHO this far outweighs the possibility of getting PKed, or losing a weapon, as most of the time, if you drop something important - the clan can just get you a new one anyway, so the only real negative is a couple of minutes getting a poke, and getting back on your way. Let's face it - that's nothing compared to the benefits.

December 13, 2014
I've been checking out gift guides lately - mostly because I enjoy looking at the utterly ridiculous gift ideas that others have come up with for the people who "have everything". So when a friend wrote and suggested I write a gift list for the busy woman, I thought it an interesting challenge. Here's what I came up with:
A Catholic Woman's Book of Days by Amy Welborn looks mighty lovely. I haven't read this, but it has short reflections for every day of the year and is written specifically for Catholic women.
Catherine Doherty has an engaging book called Grace in Every Season. I have read portions and found Catherine's reflections to be short and to the point, yet contain depth and relevance to my personal life. Perhaps Moments of Grace is more what the busy woman needs—a flip-style desktop calendar with 365 days of Catherine's wisdom. Even Catherine's one-liners are spicy enough to make you stop and think.
For a more frugal gift idea, the Companions of the Cross have a small booklet called Treasure in Heaven: A 40-Day, 10 minutes a day prayer guide. The guide is available for free online and gets any busy person into the habit of prayer and meditation, starting with 10 minutes per day. I've been using it now for several months and I appreciate the ease and flow of the prayers as well as the opportunity to meditate on Scripture.
And no Catholic woman is complete without a pretty rosary, perhaps one that doubles as an elegant bracelet. Check this one out. And this one. And this one. Who says you can't fit more beauty and prayer into your day?
Gifts that make life a bit easier and a bit better
When I first started living on my own, I couldn't cook much more than spaghetti and eggs. A friend of mine encouraged me to start cooking, giving me recipes for things like "rouladen" and "salmon" and thus began my life long love affair with food. Regardless of whether you love cooking or do it only out of necessity, a good knife is essential. Seriously. You don't even need a whole set, just one good chopping knife. It saves you a surprising amount of time and fingers. Trust me on this one.
You want to know what else saves time? Full meals. In the freezer. (I just blew your mind, didn't I?) Although I don't own this book, it's been on my wish list for months now. It's called Don't Panic—Dinner's in the Freezer by Suzie Martinez, Vanda Howell, and Bonnie Garcia. There's something comforting about knowing you've got a backup plan when the "There's nothing for dinner!" blues hit.
Did you know that merely writing out your goals increases the likelihood of reaching them? It's a fact. Being specific and breaking your goals down into smaller, more manageable pieces helps even more. The creator of Passion Planner has come up with a beautiful, practical gift for the busy ladies in your life that could use a bit of direction or even for those who just like to doodle or write. It's a superb gift for those whose idea of a good time includes a stationary store, but I digress. (Incidentally, if you check it out and happen to like it for yourself, she's offering it for free if you share her link on social media. I got the PDF file after I shared the link on Facebook and have been trying it out and I'm sold. I'm going in for the actual day planner. They're back-ordered at the moment, but I'm patiently waiting for mine to come in January.)
Many working women have jobs outside the home. For those stretches of time where they are commuting to work (or for those with quiet time every day), audiobooks are the perfect (and frugal) gift. Loyalbooks.com has over 7,000 titles available free for download onto just about any technological device. Librivox has all sorts of public domain books ready for download. Some of that quiet time could be used to "read" Pride and Prejudice or listen to the eyewitness accounts of the sinking of the Titanic. Who says active women can't be smart women?
Fun stuff
I've often heard about "Of the Month" clubs but have never tried them. It's one of those things that I would find delightful, but would never buy for myself. In other words, the perfect gift. I found this site (amazingclubs.ca) that has a whole list of drool-worthy options. Wine of the Month, Chocolate of the Month, Beer, Tea, Candy, Candle, BBQ (and they even have a gluten-free option). I can't vouch for how awesome this particular club is, or the quality of their stuff. I just think the idea is so cool.
There are always the go-to gifts for those living hectic lives. Gift certificates for favourite coffee shops or local haunts are good. Even gift certificates to grocery or big box stores are practical and useful—who doesn't eat? Coupons for personalized meals or services are also excellent ways to tell a busy friend or relative that they are appreciated.
A magazine subscription is also a great gift idea as they're handy for the bits and pieces of extra time you find for yourself. There are plenty of Catholic and Secular magazines that range in prices. Catholic Insight is an excellent publication, both in print and online. I personally love getting my home decor magazine every month. I got this decor magazine subscription for $16 for a year (just wait for the sales). There are plenty of others. Perhaps find out what the lady in your life enjoys and go with that.
Merry Christmas and happy gift-giving!!
(**Just as an FYI, I am not receiving anything from any of these companies if you click on their links or buy their products. This is merely a list of gifts that I have found interesting, needful, appropriate or beautiful.)

Asbestos was common in building materials between 1920 and 1986.Asbestos was common in decorative plaster between the 1940s and 1980s and in the artex ceilings that were popular in the 1960s and 1970s. The date a building was built is often the most important clue to whether or not it contains asbestos. Asbestos fibers only become dangerous when they are airborne because the materials that contain them are damaged. This can happen when plaster deteriorates or is disturbed.
Step 1
Obtain the date of your building's construction. If you do not already know this date, ask your landlord for the information. If you own your building, this information should have been given to you at the time of purchase. If your building was constructed between the 1940s and the 1980s it may contain asbestos in the plaster.
Step 2
Look for damaged or crumbling plaster. If plaster containing asbestos is damaged it may release asbestos into the air. This is dangerous to human health.
Step 3
Examine the texture of your plaster. If it has a fluffy "popcorn" style texture, it is more likely to contain asbestos.
Step 4
Examine the style of your building. If the building has art deco style work, this may contain asbestos.
Step 5
Call an asbestos control expert if you believe your plaster may contain asbestos. Asbestos control experts are trained to identify asbestos in building materials and can safely take a sample to be tested.

How to escape – through a door, past shelves, leave the light off and feel my way – until laughs and voices become murmurs and static with muffled volume rises and falls and darkness becomes the womb. Will I find you there? Will you share secrets again and fill my breath with excitement and what is close to truth without church and rules, judgements and eyes – looking, staring, noses being picked? Please?
Here I am. Now I've scraped my finger on the old metal shelving like grocery store isles. A little worse than a paper cut. Not sticking that in my mouth. Could be germs from God knows who and when. Don't know if my immune system would hold up to such a challenge. Just wipe the blood on my jeans and press a pool into my pocket edge, side seam – where there's more material. Yes – now it's stopped – with everything else – so focused on me now – no one around.
Can't say there's shadows here – too dark and not cold, but not hot either – even with the coffee I just finished ten minutes ago – no hot flashes for me. Where's my truth?

Zuba Central HPs
- In the summer, the heat pump simply transfers heat from the indoors to the outdoors
- In the winter, the heat pump works in reverse & uses patent-pending H2i technology to provide heating when outdoor temperatures are -30° and beyond
Features & Benefits
VCSi Technology
At the heart of Mitsubishi Electric's Mr.Slim™ technology is Variable Compressor Speed Inverter (VCSi) technology. As opposed to conventional systems that inefficiently start with a surge and stay on at a maximum fixed speed, the VCSi technology automatically adjusts the system's capacity to match your home's moment to moment heating and cooling needs, thus saving you from the higher bills of a conventional system that runs at full speed even when demand is low.
Save up to 60%
Save up to 60% annually over conventional heating and cooling systems. With Zuba Central, you only pay for the energy you use. The Zuba Central Variable Compressor Speed Inverter (VCSI) technology automatically adjusts its capacity to match your home's moment to moment heating and cooling needs, thus saving you from the higher bills of a conventional system that runs at full speed even when demand is low.
Hyper Heat at -25°C
While traditional heat pumps are only efficient above 0°C, Zuba Central's Hyper-Heat Inverter (H2i) technology ensures your home gets the heating it needs when outside temperatures reach as low as -30°C and beyond. Zuba Central has higher heating capacity up to 40,000BTU/h at -25°C.
Easy Installation
Unlike the lengthy wait and high expenses of Geothermal systems, Zuba Central's heat pump technology is easy to install, can be up and running must faster, and takes up a mere 13 inches in width outside your home's exterior wall, with an indoor Air Handling Unit that fits right onto existing ductwork.
Zone Control
Zuba-Central's zone control allows you to divide your home into multiple "zones", each with its own customized level of comfort. Separate thermostats control the operation of dampers in each room, and the Zuba-Central unit matches its output to suit each zone's demand, in order to maximize efficiency.

Here at Coach Atlantic Group, we believe that safety is the foundation of a pleasurable traveling experience. Through over 25 years in the industry, we have learned that it is the only way to ensure peace of mind and relaxation for passengers. This dedication to safety has a cost but it is far outweighed by the gains of a fun, carefree voyage.
There are many ways that we ensure this level of safety to which we are committed, but some of our main focuses are on our drivers and our fleet.
Driver Safety
Before we select our drivers, their skill is tested and checked with references. We are confident that our drivers have the knowledge and experience to help them work with any situation that may arise while on the job. We also have a comprehensive driver training program that each of our drivers is required to take part in upon being hired. We subject our drivers to pre-employment drug testing, as well as random testing throughout their time with us. We also do our best to employ friendly, helpful and courteous drivers, who are willing and eager to help passengers. Their goal is to give customers the safest, most comfortable ride possible. We are proud of our skilled drivers here at Coach Atlantic Group!
Fleet Safety
The preventative measures we take on our fleet are a large part of the safety routine for all of our charters. We ensure that our fleet is up-to-date so that we can take full advantage of new technologies, as well smooth running machines that have less chance of having mechanical issues. We have in-house maintenance programs to ensure that all of our vehicles are analyzed for issues and precautionary measures are taken regularly. We also have a 24 hour dispatch service that goes with each of our vehicles. There is constant contact with dispatch, which is on standby to ensure that there is always aid available if it is needed. By making sure we have safe vehicles, we can rest easy knowing that we are doing all that we can to ensure passengers are safe and comfortable for their trip before the bus even hits the road.

Trey103 needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 83 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
We are a non-profit organization that creates a beneficial environment for orphans women and children to break the cycle of poverty through education, nutrition, and social works(building projects).
Our primary focus is in Guatemala and we focus a lot of time on fighting acute malnutrition in children.
A NEW T-Shirt.
We are in the beginning of a slow process of re-marketing a new logo. The 'orange plus sign' is key and will carry throughout everything we do design-wise from here on out. The color orange represents 'Malnutrition' in the non profit world. I'm also a big fan of using varying grayscale's for the shirt and ink, with the orange. But I am open to your interp.
We are a 10yr old non profit that has been known to have a more religious spin on our efforts, but we are making the leap into the non religious NGO(Non Gov Org) stream and want to carry our friend base and current donor base into this with us.
This is a rebranding effort...
Target audience- Youth and young adults(American Apparel freaks)
The message I want to get across is that when they see an orange plus sign it will relay their mind back to us and the great issue of 'malnutrition'. This is a 'social cause'

German Court Ruling Strikes Another Blow Against War on Terror
Last Tuesday, barely three weeks after the European Parliament voted to annul the EU-U.S. SWIFT agreement on bank data sharing, Germany's Constitutional Court struck another major blow against counterterrorism efforts by overturning a law that required telecommunications firms and internet providers to retain basic communications data for a period of six months.
Indeed, the court did not merely overturn the requirement to retain the data. It ordered the data to be deleted, thus setting in motion what appears to be a frenzied process of data destruction at German telecommunications and IT firms.
The German data retention law served to implement the minimum data retention requirement laid out in a 2006 European Union directive. The directive was jointly approved by both the European Council, representing the EU member states, and the European Parliament. It was adopted in the aftermath of the July 2005 London transport bombings and in recognition of the major benefit that basic communications data provides to law enforcement agencies in connection with terror investigations, as well as investigations into organized crime. The directive notes, for instance, that
On 13 July 2005, the Council reaffirmed in its declaration condemning the terrorist attacks on London the need to adopt common measures on the retention of telecommunications data as soon as possible.
The data concerned is exclusively framework data that is "generated or processed in the course of the supply of communications services:" information such as calling phone number, called phone number, subscriber name, user ID, IP addresses, and so on. The directive only applies to electronic communications, whether by phone or e-mail. It does not apply to other internet usage data: for example, on surfing habits or consulted web pages. Moreover, the directive expressly prohibits the retention of the content of any communications.
The directive lays down a minimum retention period of six months and a maximum period of two years. After the end of the period established by each member state, the data in question must be destroyed. The establishment of the two-year maximum represents an obvious obstacle to long-term investigations into terror or organized crime. It is clear that it was a subject of controversy in EU negotiations, since the directive also lays down that member states may under particular circumstances apply for an extension.

AUSTIN—The U.S. Department of Justice has questioned how Gov. Greg Abbott's hiring freeze could affect Texas institutions for people with intellectual disabilities.
Justice Department officials say potential staffing shortages could cause Texas to violate its federal agreement to improve the facilities, the Austin American-Statesman reported Saturday.
Abbott, faced with a budget crisis, on Jan. 31 ordered a state agency hiring freeze through August to free up about $200 million for the current fiscal year. The directive applies only to agencies under Abbott's office and allows exemptions. The freeze does not apply to position with direct influence on public safety.
The Justice Department, in a Feb. 7 response, said Texas supported living centers, or SSLCs, already have serious problems with turnover. Failure to fill jobs would put the facilities "on course to rapidly reach crisis levels of understaffing," the letter said.
"Thus the freeze threatens the basic health and safety of the people in the SSLCs' care and, of course, potentially places the state in breach of its court-ordered commitments in this case," Justice Department lawyer Benjamin O. Tayloe Jr. wrote.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has a filed waiver request with Abbott's office.
"Providing safe, quality care at our state hospitals and SSLCs is our top priority, and we'll continue to work with the governor's office to ensure we take the best possible care of our patients," commission spokeswoman Carrie Williams said.
Abbott spokesman John Wittman said the governor's office has already been working to make sure the living centers aren't negatively affected by the hiring freeze.
"The Justice Department's letter clearly misunderstands the governor's directive on the hiring freeze," Wittman said. "The directive exempts from the hiring freeze 'positions that have a direct impact on public safety.' Safety obviously includes the well-being of patients and those being treated by state supported living centers."

The brilliance of Steven Soderbergh's "The Knick" is in how it subtly comments on issues of today while also feeling completely genuine with its period details. We often learn about ourselves by looking through fictional windows into the past. At its best, which is often, this Cinemax program has echoes of HBO's "Deadwood," another show about a very different time and place but with resonant characters and themes that made it feel current. And what's so breathtaking about "The Knick" is the slow, subtle way that the show's creators pull off this TV magic trick. Period pieces, especially those on TV, often falter by overly telegraphing their desire to be current, failing to really capture the period first and foremost. "The Knick" is the most detailed show on TV, but by grounding the characters in timeless themes—addiction, class, race, desire, competition—the show transcends its undeniable craftsmanship to become something even greater, something uniquely incredible in today's TV world. In arguably the best year of television to date, it still stands out.
It is 1901 in New York City, a city pushing forward to the future of medicine, politics, civil rights, and any other issue you can think of. The Knickerbocker Hospital (The Knick for short) is in disarray as Dr. John Thackery (Clive Owen) is in rehab for his cocaine addiction and the construction of a new building uptown has distracted the board. Dr. Algernon Edwards (André Holland) vies to replace Thackeray as the Chief of Surgery, but his skin color will make that difficult to impossible. Cornelia Robertson (Juliet Rylance) has moved to San Francisco with her new husband, but the pull of NYC will be too great to dismiss. Lucy Elkins (Eve Hewson) must deal with the fact that she basically fell in love with Thackery while trying to rescue him from his addictions, while Bertie (Michael Angarano) realizes there's no one left at the Knick for him. Sister Harriet (Cara Seymour) sits in prison for the abortions she performed. At the start of season two, everyone seems adrift, without clear structure or purpose, not unlike a society at the turn of the century trying to carve a new path.
Season one of "The Knick" was a remarkable endeavor that really spun around three men—Clive Owen, André Holland, and Steven Soderbergh. If it had a weakness, it was that the supporting cast often felt overshadowed by the star power at the center of the piece, with the exception of Holland, who arguably made the biggest impact in season one as a brilliant man hampered by societal prejudices. Almost immediately, one notices an expansion of focus in season two. Owen and Holland are still phenomenal, arguably even more so with the support behind them of the more-confident supporting cast. Soderbergh and his writers are willing to leave The Knick and Thackery's side to develop characters like Bertie, Lucy, and Cornelia in their own, distinct narrative arcs, and the cast proves entirely up to the challenge. The technical elements of "The Knick" were well-recognized (and deservedly so) in season one, but season two feels like proof that this is also one of the best ensembles on TV.
It's also such a densely packed show thematically. Politics, race, business, education, women's rights, addiction, class warfare, the greater good—there's enough material packed into an episode of "The Knick" to study the show in a classroom. And yet it never feels didactic. At its core, it's about two men pushing the boundaries of what is possible in medicine and how that ambition can be reflected or destroyed in society. Much in the way Thackery and Algernon work to battle the personal and societal demons that hold them back—addiction and racism, specifically—Soderbergh puts the development of our country under the surgical knife, laying it all out on the table for us to analyze and consider without melodrama or judgment. And he does so under the umbrella of some of the most incredible technical elements and filmmaking skill in the history of television. Much like David Milch did with "Deadwood," Soderbergh proves that period television need not be mere history lesson. In so many ways, "The Knick" feels like one of the most vital, current shows on the air.
