Homeownership provides owners with many great benefits and feelings of pride. The benefits are plentiful, but there are a top few benefits that top the list for homeowners:
- Equity: Might seem obvious, but equity is one of the top benefits of homeownership. Paying rent year after year, tenants don't get to see any return on their investment. With ownership, owners get to securely know that there money is going into an asset and that if they sell at the right time, they can profit. A home provides security for its owners in more than one way.
- Pride: When you own your own home, there is a sense of pride that comes along with it. Renters don't always get too involved or attach to their homes, as they know that the changes they make in it, will eventually be of benefit to someone else. Owning your own home allows you to make changes, renos and choices that fit your lifestyle and that you get to enjoy. You do not have to answer to anyone when making decisions about your home.
- Stability: Homeowners can choose the terms of their mortgage allowing them to have a predictable monthly or bi-weekly payment. They can always find out how much is still owed on their home, and how much interest is being paid. With flexible mortgage options, homeowners can have a sense of stability in their payments and budget accordingly.

66% of Asian businesses plan to increase digital marketing budgets over the next 12 months: report
Two-thirds of Asian businesses (66%) plan to increase their digital marketing budgets over the next 12 months, according to new research from Econsultancy and Campaign Asia-Pacific.
In comparison, just 19% of companies plan to increase their offline budgets in the same time period.
Furthermore, companies surveyed as part of the State of Digital Marketing in Asia 2013 Report are spending an average of 29% of their total marketing budgets on digital, a slight increase from 26% in the 2012 survey.
However, agency respondents included in the report paint a different picture, estimating that their clients spend just less than a quarter (23%) of their total budget on digital.

Ecstatic means to stand outside oneself, to be in an other than usual state of consciousness.
Spring 2013
The blueprint for childbirth – the hormonal design – is for an experience of an altered state of consciousness, that has as part of its condition, less or no pain. This blueprint includes a mind-space of total focus, trust and knowing and a deep connection with the baby.
To give birth according to her cellular imperative a woman must be undisturbed, cared for and supported by trusting attendants in the right environment, not told what to do and not directed to according to a clock. The environment best suited to ecstatic birth is similar to the environment best suited to intimate love making – quiet, dark and private. The woman needs to be able to flow with her body in labour in the same way she does in love making. No holding back, total instinctual behaviour.
Her hormones, oxytocin and endorphin, enable this and allow the part of her brain, the hind-brain, that drives the involuntary process of labour and birth to be in command. If she is required to answer questions, talk about unrelated things, if there are bright lights, noise and people coming and going, the woman's neocortex is stimulated and she is lifted out of her altered state of consciousness and the birth process is slowed.
If she experiences fear, either her own or someone else's, she produces adrenaline and the labour can stop. Her body is not designed to give birth with a lot of external stimulation. It will, however, there will be more pain and it will be a slower process.
The pain of labour is a gateway to an altered state of consciousness and ecstatic birth.
Women need to be focussed totally within themselves to reach this space, the focal point being the pain. They need to know their fears and have faced them so that when they arise in labour, with the pain, they are prepared with the antidotes to their fears.
A woman's fears arise during her pregnancy, they take the shape of the everyday dramas that play out in her relationships. By recognising this natural process – the arising of her fears – and being with them, seeking counsel with her partner, her mother, her midwife, her women friends, the woman will come to know how to deal with her fears. This is the preparation for ecstatic birth.
The woman in labour who moves how her body tells her to move and makes the sounds that come from deep within her is coming from her deeply intuitive self. Uninhibited. She is untamed, undomesticated, wild. None of that "too posh to push". This woman connects with her innate body wisdom, surrenders, and the birth force flows through her. She lets go of her fear of death, gives birth and is herself reborn, a woman in her power, beholden to no one. Ecstatic birth.
Anna's Story – A Story Of An Ecstatic Birth
Anna was planning her fourth birth, this would be her third homebirth and second waterbirth. She had quick labours before with the midwife arriving just before the birth and this time, her last baby, she wanted to savour the experience of giving birth.
"I really wanted to feel it this time and not feel rushed."
During her pregnancy, Anna came to one of my workshops and had a connection with Artemis during a shamanic journey. She sensed Artemis's headdress of a crescent moon, and on further research into the Goddess, was drawn toward her from her desire to use mental focus as her tool during this birth.
Anna's previous experiences of giving birth had taught her the importance of focus to help her "cope with the pain" of the contractions. With her first two births she paced the floor and focused on her breath, and that worked. In her last birth she got into the birth pool just before she started pushing, and with this birth she got into the pool sooner, enabling her to slow down, withdraw into herself and really focus.
"It was a longer labour because it was calmer, so much more powerful but also peaceful, I totally let go, which I haven't been able to do before. The difference was my level of focus."
"I was consciously using my breath to move the energy downward through my body, using the pain of the contraction to open my cervix. I was saying to myself 'open, open, open'. I felt the whole lot, I didn't know I could feel as much as I did! I felt my cervix actually opening."
"Being in the water, my whole body was relaxed and so I could focus on the contractions, my cervix opening, feeling the energy moving downward and grounding me. Instead of pacing around as I had before in labour, I used internal focus and this enabled me to fully surrender. I was totally inside myself, I could hear my other children, sip the water Jane was giving me and gently hold Tom's hand, but all the while I was also observing the whole thing. I had never experienced anything like it before, being totally relaxed, completely within myself and also observing it all at the same time.
Jane had talked to me about this possibility, she called it Unity Consciousness. The contractions were very strong, I felt some pain but not excruciating. I felt so powerful, calm and relaxed. I also felt a small part of something very big."
"This labour was different too with the level of connection I felt with Tom. Our support person for the children didn't make it to the birth so Jane was with them, playing trains down the other end of the house to where I was in the pool in labour. She came in to check every so often but Tom and I were basically alone. I loved it, it was so special. His simple touch, no words, no ego, united, our baby, our birth, our experience. I didn't even think about this possibility before the birth, I didn't think it would be logistically possible."
"I was observing myself as well as being in my body in labour, I felt my cervix open and then the baby move down inside me. I was leaning my arms over the pool side and on my hands and knees just breathing the baby down. I felt her head coming out and heard Matilda, my two year old, laugh. Even immersed in what I was doing I felt a feeling of gladness that she was happy. The baby came out with the next contraction and I scooped her up into my arms. I leant back against the pool holding the baby and closed my eyes, I felt the power, happiness, contentment and love flow over and through us.
Everyone was oooing and ahhing and eventually one of the children asked if it was a boy or a girl. A girl! I'm so pleased my three children watched their baby sister be born, they just think it's a normal thing. As Jane says 'an everyday miracle'."

At this point, juicing is practically mainstream — boutique juice shops are commonplace on city streets, and the supplies for a juice cleanse can be ordered online to pretty much anywhere in the country. The promises that come along with a juice cleanse actually make forgoing solid food for liquid vegetables seem worth it: Get better sleep! Improve your skin! Lose those last five pounds! Clear your head! Feel more motivated!
But the science behind a juice cleanse is still relatively murky. Proponents of the practice say it's a great way to flush out the toxins from your system, while medical professionals argue that your body is already taking care of that. (Your liver and kidneys are not ornamental organs — they're hard at work processing toxins.) The weight loss that comes with cleansing is mainly just the release of water weight that comes from not eating solid food. In all likelihood, it'll come back after you stop.
Still, despite the temporary nature of all the benefits, many people still clamor to cleanse. So what's the right reason to cleanse, according to juice gurus and medical professionals alike?
You should cleanse if you see the process not as a fix-all, but as a pathway to a healthier lifestyle. Your motivation to cleanse will determine how effective it is for you.
"If someone came to me and said 'should I do this,' I would ask them why. What is it about [a juice cleanse] that you want to benefit from?" said Laura Jeffers, RD, a dietician at the Cleveland Clinic. Jeffers says that she often tries to advise patients away from taking a strict mentality to diet, and instead really asks them to think about their relationship with food.
"If you feel like you need to do it to be healthier emotionally, go for it," she said.
Lori Kenynon Farley founded Ritual Wellness in 2010, and the company offers cold-pressed organic juices and cleanses tailored to a customer's lifestyle. She also believes that cleanses should be used as a pathway toward a healthier lifestyle, rather than a quick fix or a way to justify indulgence.
"If while you do the cleanse, you really focus on it and use it as a pathway, you'll find you're naturally craving [healthier food] after," Kenynon Farley said.
Juice cleanses, or older cleanses like the Master Cleanse, often get a bad rap for providing few calories, no protein, and intense amounts of sugar. This combination can mean that when you start eating normally after a cleanse, your body is more likely to hold onto fats and pack on the pounds. That's why it's particularly important to see the cleanse as a road to better, healthier eating rather than an excuse to chow down on a hamburger later.
Recently, juice cleanses are adding in more foods besides straight vegetable juices. Ritual Wellness' cleanse includes nut milks for protein, and extra drinks for people who want to work out while cleansing, meaning cleansers could get 30-40 grams of protein a day just on juice. Juice Press offers cleanses that include raw salad or raw oatmeal, and Beaming offers a "Not Just Juice" cleanse that includes raw foods as well.
The bulked-up cleanses improve the health profile of the endeavor, since you'll be getting more nutrients and protein during the process. But still, most cleanses center around juices. For all the vitamins and minerals you gain by juicing pounds of vegetables and fruits, you lose out on all the fiber.
This is one of the big downfalls of juicing, said Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD, CDN, a New York City-based nutritionist and blogger for Everyday Health, who said she thinks pulverizing fruit and veggies into a smoothie is a better plan than juicing. (Kenynon Farley argues that your body is better able to get rid of lingering toxins when you don't have to digest anything you eat). Taub-Dix also thinks it's just plain healthier to not go through an intensive cleanse, and instead just try clean eating, which means eating foods as close to their original state as possible.
"It's a change that would be sustainable because these kinds of foods are everywhere," she said.
Taub-Dix recommends just adding juices into your diet, as a replacement for an afternoon sweet treat or a swap for your morning bagel. Jeffers said she'd only recommend a juice cleanse for a day or two, though most cleanses offer 3-5 day rituals.
In any case, "if you're going to do something drastic with your diet, talk to your physician first," Jeffers said. Women who are pregnant or nursing are likely not good candidates for a cleanse, and diabetics who have a difficult time regulating their blood sugar should also avoid it. Anyone already suffering from gastrointestinal problems should speak with their doctor before taking part.
Just remember, it's not a magic bullet. But if you're careful and committed, it could help you launch to a healthier you.

The following weekend I made my way to Cape Cod, for my annual trunk show at Sage Yarn. They moved to a new location earlier this year, and the new space is great! I also taught an Intro to Shawl Design to a lovely group of ladies, who all left very excited. I can't wait to see what designs they come up with!
It has been a busy month, and knitting season isn't slowing down anytime soon. I have plenty of events coming up, including a Fluevog knit night with Julia Farwell-Clay in a couple of weeks. Check my events page for more details!

It is 4:33 a.m. as I am about to click on "Publish." That's early, even by farm life standards.
Today is market day, so we have to rise extra early to get ready. Fortunately the market is only a half hours drive from here, but we have to pack up everything then set up when we get there. Before leaving I have to feed the pigs, chickens and bees. I also have to shower and shave. To make all that happen and be ready when the bell rings at 7:15, we have to get an early start.
I was delayed by weather last week and by the video shoots this week, so here it is May 9 and I still haven't planted our summer gardens. But some may recall me fretting about being delayed in the spring planting season, and here we are in early May with plenty of fresh goodness for the market. Nature is forgiving like that.
Last week we sold out. We probably will again today. It's encouraging to see our community slowly but steadily coming to embrace the local food movement.

Hey you all! So I need to admit something…I was supposed to have had finished this Romans study series back in the spring…. I got a little side tracked! Yet, here I am! Excited about the words God provided for me to type and for your eyes to read intently. This chapter is a full one, so brace yourselves. It is also a deep root chapter about His deep love for us, and Paul's prime example of "love thy neighbor more than yourself." So, let us get started then 🙂
The opening of Romans 9 is a soul jerker for sure. We see instantly Paul's deep sorrow and grief for the people of Israel. So many (leading up to modern day) have shunned God's name and have chose to live life according to their beliefs and pleasures. Paul takes his grief, however, to a higher, rarer level. He goes on to say in verse 3, "I would be willing to be forever cursed — cut off from Christ! –if that would save them." (NLT). Let's all catch our breath here for a second….Paul stated, with full confidence and integrity, that He would have been WILLING to separate Himself from Heaven and Jesus, in order for someone else to have a chance to be born again. I cannot even fathom those words, it left me speechless. We all know of course that the only one who can truly save in the act of death, or crucifixion, is of course Jesus Christ Himself. However, what we are seeing here is a true lover and believer in Jesus extending His love with the act of selflessness. That leaves us the question for us who are active in The Way: "Are you willing to sacrifice your time, money, effort, and even your own faith to see someone come to know Jesus?"
Now, going deeper into this chapter, we begin to understand our true relationship identity in Christ. The Jews viewed God's choosing of Israel as adoption. They (and we) are undeserving of such kindness and mercy, yet God carried through and chose to take us in as His own children. The Old Testament shows God's beautiful promises for us through Abraham. His word proved faithful for him and his descendants. After Jesus' death, His blood ran over that covenant, which was the key to the pathway of God. We are ALL his descendants. (Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham." Galatians 3:7 NLT) The importance in this is, yes God did choose the timeline to Jesus through the lineage of Issac (Sarah's son) and not Ishmael (Hagar's son), however, God does not look at good or bad, He looks at those who prove faithful to Him. God has the choice to choose whomever He wills. The doctrine of God's choosing is based on His mercy and kindness, not of our merit.
The very last part of this chapter exemplifies what is going on today.
"I am placing a stone in Jerusalem that causes people to stumble, and a rock that makes them fall. But anyone who believes in Him will not be disappointed." (Romans 9:33 NLT)
The "rock' that is placed here is referring to our stonemason, Jesus Christ. The Jews chose not to believe in Him because they felt like He did not exceed their expectations as the Messiah. This is still going on now… many, including myself at times, stumble again and again over Jesus because let's all admit, faith does not make logical sense. That's it though… it is not supposed to. We think we are supposed to be perfectionists and strive to do good deeds, when in spirituality, God does not look at that. He looks at the heart, and what its intentions are to serve Him selflessly and humbly. He loves us for our brokenness and weaknesses. Many will not partake on this calling, but all will fall before the Heavenly Throne when He comes back to take His children home.

Perry Noble is one of my favorite guys! He has a ton of great resources for leaders, and I thought this could be helpful:
#1 – That People Know They Can Come To Church
In my personal conversations with unchurched people there are SO MANY of them who think they cannot come to church…they think their lives are so messed up that the church would reject them (and…some of them actually have stories of that happening.)
They don't know!!! We have GOT to stop assuming that unchurched people know about our church and they will feel welcomed the minute they walk in…going to a church for the first time is HIGHLY uncomfortable…and so rather than work through that many simply choose to not go. It doesn't mean they are bad people…it just means they just don't think they can go to church.
So…we've GOT to embrace this and purposefully invite people…personally…eye to eye!!!
#2 – That People Know That Jesus Died For Their Sins
So many people (ever here in the South) have NEVER heard the Gospel! We cannot assume that people know the message…even if they grew up in church. We've GOT to be intentional about not making assumptions…Matthew 7:21-23 tells us about people who were "good people" but never embraced Christ! (AND…before you get mad…those are the very words of Jesus!)
So NewSpring…it begins today (if it hasn't began already)…let's do EVERYTHING we can to get people to church this weekend!

This post is a bit geeky, but I've been mulling over some comments Nouriel Roubini offered a few days back in an email to RGE Monitor subscribers:
Today we look at how Asian Financial Crisis changed Asia and the world...
Policy makers throughout Asia clearly are determined not to return to the IMF. In Stephen Jen's words the Asian Financial Crisis taught Asian central banks to never be caught without enough foreign exchange reserves...
Asia's crisis generated an international consensus that emerging economies need to hold sufficient reserves to cover their short-term debt. No comparable consensus emerged, though, over the right exchange rate regime. The G-7 and the IMF argued that Asia's crisis showed the risks of currency pegs, at least those currency pegs not backed up by an institutional commitment like a currency board. But it isn't clear that Asian policy makers drew the same lesson many seem to have concluded the real problem was not pegs, but an over-valued currency.
In a simple cut at the issue, there is a distinction between pegging an exchange rate below its freely-floating value -- the case of an under-valued currency -- and pegging the exchange rate above its freely-floating value -- the case of an over-valued currency. In the case of an over-valued currency, the central bank has to trade from its holdings of foreign currency reserves to "soak up" the excess supply of its own currency. The ability to do this is obviously limited by its reserves, which can become seriously depleted in the event of a persistent misalignment between the pegged value and where the market would take the exchange rate in the absence of the peg. And if market participants get a sniff of the possibility that the government lacks sufficient reserves to support the peg, a speculative run is all but guaranteed.
The situation is a bit different when the currency is under-valued. In this case a central bank would react to upward pressure on the exchange rate by expanding its own money supply to buy foreign currencies, thus eliminating the excess supply of those currencies. Since there are no inherent resource restrictions in creating fiat money, there is no obvious limit to the government's ability to play the game. Money supply expansion may eventually be inflationary, but that would itself tend to drive down the freely-floating value of the currency. But therein, according to Nouriel, lies the problem:
... reserves are not an unmitigated blessing. Sterilizing the region's huge reserve growth poses growing difficulties. In some countries - notably China - strong money and credit growth has fueled inflationary pressures, stock market bubbles and housing bubbles. Nouriel Roubini argues that current Asian exchange rate and financial policies have left Asia vulnerable to new kinds of crises. See "Have Asia's Sterilization and Reserve Accumulation Policies Shielded It From Another Crisis Or Have Led To Increased Vulnerabilities?"
I confess that I have been used to thinking like the Asian policy makers in assuming that the impact of pegging an exchange at too low a level is more benign than pegging at too a high level. Because inflation reduces the value of a currency relative to others, there is a sense in which the actions of a central bank attempting to damp currency appreciation are consistent with moving the exchange rate closer to the unfettered equilibrium value.
The same argument, however, ought to hold for a currency that is over-valued. When a central bank buys back its own currency with foreign reserves it is contracting the domestic money supply. That in turn should reduce the domestic rate of inflation and result in a nominal appreciation, moving the exchange rate's fundamental value toward the peg. If there are problems, then, they must arise because the necessary price adjustments are too slow when the pressure on the currency is persistent.
But if prices are slow to adjust, why not on the upside as well as the downside? And though depleting reserves are no problem in the case of an under-valued exchange rate, the misallocation of resources associated with excessive monetary creation could be, which I believe is exactly Nouriel's point. I'm still not sure that such misallocations have as sharp a destabilizing potential as running out of reserves and losing the capacity to intervene all together, but I'm convinced Nouriel's argument is worth thinking about.

Dr. Altig -- I wouldn't assume that every RGE email is written by Nouriel himself. If the email comes directly from Dr. Roubini, it probably was. But a lot of different people contribute to the biweekly note. That particular passage was written by Christian Menegatti and myself, though in part we were summarizing an argument Dr. Roubini made.

Short entry today. I've been outside enjoying the weather!
Criticism and feedback are very appreciated,
Aun Aqui
The Spice Girls.
They gave me something to identify with, and define myself by.
My best friend in the 1st grade, Katie Mueller, first introduced me to the band.
We were in PE one day, doing sit ups, playing jump rope, and walking laps around the gym when she started humming a tune to herself.
"What is that?" I asked her.
"Oh, it's a song by the SPICE Girls," she smiled.
I nodded and must have looked clueless.
"Wait.. you do know who they are, don't you?"
"Nope," I replied, as we began our third lap around the gym.
"You haveee to come over to my house this weekend and listen to them."
I smiled and told her I'd ask my mom.
"Sure," my mom responded that afternoon once I got home and asked if we could have a sleepover. "As long as it's at her house," she clarified, measuring flour into a cup.
"Yeah, it'll be at her house," I said quickly, noticing the Aunt Jemima box sitting on the counter top.
"Are you making pancakes?" I asked hopefully.
"Yep," she smiled at me, "Bobby wanted some."
Since the chemo and radiation, Bobby's taste buds had become very picky, which made his diet very limited. He basically subsisted off of junk food, and for the rest of his life, that didn't change much.
His favorite thing in the world was pizza, but pancakes, cheese fries, mozzarella sticks and grilled cheese with pickles all came in at a close second. I asked mom if I could have a late-afternoon pancake too and walked into the living room to sit on the couch with Bob.
"Hey Bob," I smiled at him. He looked up for a second and waved his hand weakly.
"Hi sissterrrbabe," he said sweetly.
I plopped down beside him and looked over at what he was holding.
"Whatcha doin?" I asked.
"Momm gave me this leappp padd," he said slowly. "It's edduu.. I don'tt know what ezacttly it is," he confessed, "butt I learnn stufff on itt."
I nodded and turned on the TV. Mom came in a few minutes later with our pancakes and we watched Mr. Miyagi train Daniel on how to be a badass in the the movie The Karate Kid.
"Thanks for coming to spend the night with us, Amber!" Katie's mom smiled into the rear view mirror.
"Her name is Rose," Katie corrected her mom.
"I go by Rose, but Amber is my name, too," I smiled brightly at Katie's mom from the backseat.
It was an exciting afternoon. After the dismissal bell had rung, instead of heading over to the bus line like usual, I walked over to the carpool area with Katie. We got into her mom's blue Honda CRV as soon as it pulled up. I sat next to Katie, still wearing my backpack and holding a plastic, yellow Publix bag in my lap. It contained my pajamas, my toothbrush, my favorite stuffed bunny and an outfit for the next morning.
"So what do you girls what to do this evening?" Katie's mom asked us.
"I wanna show Rose my SPICE girl's CD," Katie said excitedly, looking over at me. "You're going to love it."
And I did. A lot. We danced around Katie's bedroom with her kid sister, Allison, grooving to tunes like "Wannabe," "Stop," and "Spice Up Your Life." Her mom helped us use the family's computer to look up pictures of the band and their bios and I was immediately hooked. The obsession lasted for years; CDs, movies, posters, books, magazines, t-shirts, and even a necklace with the word "baby" on it were all a part of the fan girl collection and were in my possession at some point or another. I was absolutely, all about girl power.
Soon it was dinnertime and Katie's mom decided to order a pizza. "And if you guys are still a little hungry," she said, leading us from the dining room into the kitchen, "you can have anything from this drawer in here," and she pointed to it.
"That's the kids drawer," Katie explained. "There's pudding packs in there, cheese crackers, peanut butter crackers, applesauce… everything!"
"Right," her mom smiled and looked a little tired. "Just don't open this drawer," and she gestured to one right beside the 'kids' drawer. It looked like it had a lock on it. It was weird.
"Okay, cool," I smiled and thanked her.
We played in her backyard for a little while before it got dark out, and then we came back into the house, tired and ready to go to sleep. I laid on an inflatable mattress that night, listening to the soothing sounds of waves and dolphins that Katie usually fell asleep to, but sleep wouldn't come for me. After about fifteen minutes of ocean bellows, I freaked.
"Katie, wake up!" I announced loudly. "I have got to go home!"
I started crying. Katie's mom entered into the room quickly, looking concerned.
"What happened?" she asked Katie, kneeling down and putting her arms around my shoulders.
Katie shrugged and shook her head, bewildered. She was still underneath the covers, propped up on her elbows.
"I… I just want my mommy," I gasped between sobs.
Katie's asked for my mom's phone number and I had no idea what it was. She was smart enough to look inside of my backpack, and sure enough, for whatever reason, my name and phone number were written in black Sharpie ink across the front of my lunchbox.
Mom arrived at the house within twenty minutes and I was instantly pacified.
"I'm sorry that didn't work out," my mom said sadly and yawned as she steered us home.
"It's okay," I said quietly. "Thanks for letting me go."
It was a quiet ride. The sky was black, the stars were shiny, the trees were creepy, and the telephone poles looked like they were moving… as usual.
"Hey mom?" I whispered as she pulled into our driveway.
"Yes sweetie?" Her door had already opened and the car light came on. I saw dark circles under her eyes.
"Thanks for coming and getting me."

Mention sustainability in business, government or private practices and most people think 'recycling.' But there are many additional things in sustainability that can be beneficial financially, environmentally and for community building. It is necessary to first have a working understanding of what 'sustainability' is, and is not, and to build on that toward targeted, well-designed goals.
There are many resources, examples and case studies available that define the meaning and essence of sustainability. But if you know about evaluation techniques and useful places to start, it provides more efficient progress for people in local governments, businesses and non-government organizations. Identification and involvement of stakeholders is key. Creativity is valuable, so starting with a breadth of knowledge to work with is crucial.
This session by expert speaker Dr. Alan W. Elzerman will help you first learn the fundamentals of current thoughts about 'sustainability' and why it is important to carefully identify your scope of activities and carefully communicate with your stakeholders to avoid pitfalls. Alan will address the misconceptions about philosophies and approaches while presenting alternatives at the same time. He will discuss the importance of communicating clearly within your own group, with participants and the public. Also, specific activities and resources for information, examples, collaborators and funding will be presented during the session. This program will provide you ideas on how to get started, overcome roadblocks, and maintain effective progress in your sustainability programs.

Author: Kevin O'Brien
Narrator: Jonathan Yen
Published: July 2015, Tantor Audio / Kensington Books
Length: 16 hours 25 minutes / ARC E-copy 416 pages

In July 1970, actress Elaina Styles was slain in her rented Seattle mansion along with her husband and their son's nanny. When the baby's remains were found buried in a shallow grave close to a hippie commune, police moved in—only to find all its members already dead in a grisly mass suicide.
Now, decades later, a film about the murders is shooting at the mansion. On-set caterer Laurie Trotter ignores gossip that the production is cursed. But then people start dying…
As Laurie digs deep into what happened all those years ago, the truth emerges more twisted than any whispered rumor, as a legacy of brutal vengeance reaches its terrifying climax…
My thoughts: This is the first book I've read/listened to by Kevin O'Brien and I found myself immediately pulled in from the very beginning. There were so many things going on, I just had to know where it was all going to go.
This was a hard book to put down once I started it. There were two main story lines going on - a young mother that ends up playing detective and then a pyscho that doesn't know when to take no for an answer. Each story in and of itself is so well-developed that they could each have been separate books - there's that much going on. But of course, the stories twist and turn and become entwined together. It is definitely a multi-layered story.
The characters are richly drawn and they are either really likeable or really dislikable - there's not much in-between. Laurie was one of my favorites and while there are plenty of times I found myself wanting to knock some sense into her, I loved her curiosity and unwillingness to back down until she had all the answers.
Maybe because I have been reading so many crime/mystery thrillers lately, but I found myself being suspicious of nearly everyone in the book. I kept thinking I knew who the guilty one was, only to be found mistaken when some new clue or secret was revealed. That's what I love about reading these types of books. The twists and turns really kept me on my toes and now I can't wait to pick up more of Kevin O'Brien's books. If you've read any of his books, what do you suggest I read next?
Audio thoughts: This is the first time I've listened to Jonathan Yen narrate a book and I thought he did a great job. He did a great job with the voices, and his tone and cadences really added to the overall enjoyment of this story. I will definitely be checking out what else he has narrated.

Nicely done amigo! Couldn't agree more. Especially about Casa Molina... ;)
Nailed it. And if you stop by Flemings, ask for Barney. He's the man! Terra Cotta is missed greatly. Amazing food and wine, great people.
I routinely put more dialogue from a 10 minute phone interview in my articles than what you shared from your eight hours, but to each their own. Maybe this is an installment of a series? Otherwise, very short. Interesting though. Thanks.
Great piece. Brought back a lot of memories of a very talented team that was able to win the close games when it counted.
damn fancy
Way to go Shana! -Lindsay
nice article..... but what is his real name?
Wow, reading this brings back some great times. I can remember every single pitch
that I threw in the no-hitter over ASU. I can remember all of the great defensive plays that our team made. We were not taken seriously when we got to Omaha. We went into the tournament third in our region and our school didn't even want to send us, but we had signed a contract if we finished in third we would go. What a great decision. This team was a great team, but during the regular season we just couldn't put it all together at the same time. At the World Series we peaked and played like we knew how we could. A lot of us played softball in the summer together and this was an experience we all talked about for a long, long time. After we got back I was drafted to play professional softball in St. Louis in the first women's professional softball league. That was the second best thing that ever happened to me. That World Series in Omaha will always be my best and number one memory and playing "pro" comes in second. The only thing that was disappointing about this wonderful part of my life is that when I returned home, someone stole my runner-up trophy, which meant everything to me and symbolized that game against ASU, so I have nothing to show for my best athletic moment in my life. Go Wildcats and continue to take the nation of softball by the horns. I truly think that this team was the beginning of the success of the program for all of these years and that makes me feel good and I'm sure my teammatets feel the same. Thanks to a great coach in Jenny Perrish. Tonja Adreon (played 1975-77)

(For my international friends, a coffee shop in Malaysia is a place where one can go have have breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner. For breakfast, simple local foods such as noodles are served, together with hot/cold drinks)
What's my beef? (pun intended...)
The first one is located at Airport Plaza, Lahad Datu. The Sunday it opened, it took out a half page advertisement in the local paper to announce that they are opened for business and the menu listed was very extensive. I spotted one of my favourite : Ngau Lam Mee (Noodles with beef stew). So off we went there for breakfast.
The place was packed, but we managed to get a table. The waiter came, I ordered my favourite noodle dish only to hear him say "Nope, we don't have that". So I pointed out to him that it was listed in their menu in the papers but he is not moved. I then ordered a few more breakfast items off that menu only to be told they don't have those either. We finally have to settle for the most mundane noodle dish of all : Kon Low Mee (Noodle cooked dry with mundane condiments) and waited.
And waited. And waited for the next 45 minutes.
I called the waiter over. He saw my not-so-pleased-by-now face. I asked him why the delay with our orders only to be told they are very busy serving customers. I glanced around and saw tables of no-so-pleased-by-now faces all waiting.
I waited for 15 more minutes and was delivered the best news of all : They have lost my order. Would I care to repeat my order again? Sure, I told him, in my next life. I stormed off that place, never to return. Today that coffee shop is very unpacked, even though others in the same area are enjoying full house status every morning. And I think the owner still doesn't get it.
The second one is located in town, at the new shops near the Executive hotel. Now this one is just opened for business too. Again it was packed, again our orders were late, and when I complained, was told everyone has to wait their turn. I told the owner of the place that of course I understand about queues and all that crap but waiting for orders for 50 minutes which can be fulfilled by other coffee shops under 10 minutes elsewhere is just too much to bear. At least he was apologetic, so I may just give it a second review in a month's time when they get their act together.
The third one was located in the same area, and BBQ meats/poultry is their specialty. Three months ago I had the same problem with it as those coffee shops above : long wait, insufficient staffs, wrong orders etc, and I was very disappointed. I went there last Sunday for breakfast and what a change. They doubled their staffs and cooks and no more waiting despite the place being full. Now this is a place that has learn its lessons, and is willing to adapt and change.
Now, why is that lately in Lahad Datu some people decided that since they have a few spare change, they want to open coffee shops just because they think it is a good way to make money without researching what it takes to open one? What ended up are customers suffering the long waiting times, false advertising, lousy service and worst of all, that take-it-or-leave-it attitude?
My father operated a coffee shop in the 70s through to the 80s, and I know what it takes to run one : dedication, and lots of blood, sweat & tears. Even my father's business was not successful in the end because he was resistant to the change in customers tastes towards the end of the 80s.
So don't any clueless new coffee shop owner come and tell me that it is not their fault that they are slow and lousy with their service. Nobody pointed a gun and forced them to start the business in the first place. They want to play, they have to play it right.

Pictured here is an artist's depiction of a two-star system called HD 113766, where NASA believes a rocky, Earth-like planet is forming some 424 light-years away. The brown, rocky ring of material in the image depicts an early planet before it binds together to form a more spherical shape. This star is thought to be 10 to 16 million years old, the right age for planets to come into formation.
But could this be a planet that supports life? As the quest for an Earth-like planet continues, experts are optimistic. Natalie Batalha is Kepler's deputy science team lead. As she told Space.com, "We are homing in on the truly Earth-size, habitable planets."

Sen. Brown: "Stop the Chicanery"
Remember Susan Powter, the hyper-aggressive fitness and diet guru from back in the day? Her signature catchphrase was "stop the insanity!" Well, U.S. Senator Scott Brown says, "stop the chicanery."
In the GOP weekly radio address captured on Youtube below, Sen. Brown says that the healthcare powergrab--i.e, ramming through the health-care bill, "whatever it takes, whatever the cost"--is defying the will of the American people. The president and his supporters still haven't gotten the message that the people do not want the government to seize control of the medical delivery system, the senator says.
Is The Democrat Party Turning Into Its Own Death Panel?
Say what you will about the alternatively misanthropic and entertaining Michael Savage, but he made a very perceptive point the other night. Politicians have always been corrupt, he said, but they occupied a parallel universe and pretty much left the rest of us alone--until now. With their sick (no pun intended) obsession with socialized medicine among other things, the Democrats now want to intrude in every aspect of our life. But Americans value personal freedom above all else.
As Shikha Dalmia writes at Forbes.com:
The only comic relief in the otherwise grim, yearlong ObamaCare saga has been the spectacle of progressive pundits scratching their heads to explain the bill's nose-diving popularity...
In fact, the real reason why ObamaCare is so unpopular is that it is proposing a giant expansion of the entitlement state precisely when this state everywhere is coming apart: here and abroad; at the federal level and the state; in the public sector and the private. Suggesting a giant government takeover of a sixth of the economy can't be a popular selling point in a country whose DNA has a programmed hostility to Big Government.
Even before President Obama rammed through his trillion-dollar-plus stimulus/bailout packages last year, there was a growing sentiment that the country's top priority ought to be tackling the entitlement programs whose liabilities are like a swelling aneurysm in the brain of the body politic waiting to rupture...
But why don't progressives get that this is terrible economic timing? Because this is the moment they have been waiting for since Lyndon Johnson enacted Medicare...There is no tactic too low to deploy--and no cause too sacred to abandon. If Americans are unenthused about universal coverage, screw 'em. If it is necessary to use reconciliation--meant strictly for budgetary matters--to ram the bill through Congress on a strictly partisan vote, then so be it. If filibuster rules that Democrats themselves restored in 1975 are now coming in the way, get rid of them....
But egged on by the progressive punditocracy, Democrats are behaving as if, once they jam ObamaCare through, nothing else matters. It's like they'll never have to worry about being the minority party in need of constitutional checks and balances.Similarly, in the pages of the Washington Post, Democrat pollsters Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen tell their party that it needs to snap out of their delusion and wake up to the political reality:
Their blind persistence in the face of reality threatens to turn this political march of folly into an electoral rout in November....First, the battle for public opinion has been lost. Comprehensive health care has been lost. If it fails, as appears possible, Democrats will face the brunt of the electorate's reaction. If it passes, however, Democrats will face a far greater calamitous reaction at the polls. Wishing, praying or pretending will not change these outcomes.
Nothing has been more disconcerting than to watch Democratic politicians and their media supporters deceive themselves into believing that the public favors the Democrats' current health-care plan. Yes, most Americans believe, as we do, that real health-care reform is needed. And yes, certain proposals in the plan are supported by the public.
However, a solid majority of Americans opposes the massive health-reform plan. Four-fifths of those who oppose the plan strongly oppose it, according to Rasmussen polling this week, while only half of those who support the plan do so strongly. Many more Americans believe the legislation will worsen their health care, cost them more personally and add significantly to the national deficit. Never in our experience as pollsters can we recall such self-deluding misconstruction of survey data...
Second, the country is moving away from big government, with distrust growing more generally toward the role of government in our lives...
Voters are hardly enthralled with the GOP, but the Democrats are pursuing policies that are out of step with the way ordinary Americans think and feel about politics and government. Barring some change of approach, they will be punished severely at the polls.
Now, we vigorously opposed Republican efforts in the Bush administration to employ the "nuclear option" in judicial confirmations. We are similarly concerned by Democrats' efforts to manipulate passage of a health-care bill. Doing so in the face of constant majority opposition invites a backlash against the party at every level -- and at a time when it already faces the prospect of losing 30 or more House seats and eight or more Senate seats. For Democrats to begin turning around their political fortunes there has to be a frank acknowledgement that the comprehensive health-care initiative is a failure, regardless of whether it passes. There are enough Republican and Democratic proposals -- such as purchasing insurance across state lines, malpractice reform, incrementally increasing coverage, initiatives to hold down costs, covering preexisting conditions and ensuring portability -- that can win bipartisan support.And in a new Gallup poll, unemployment and the economy in general (not healthcare) are the primary issues that Americans are worried about.

Rocker Chic
Where to begin with this outfit? I love it. I love it so much! It's a little edgy, vibrant, and out of my norm. The dress is by Asos Curve via Gwynnie Bee, the monthly subscription clothing service for sizes 10 - 32. I wasn't sure how I felt about this dress when I first received it in the mail. Animal print and I don't have a close relationship. I know you're all probably gasping for air right now, but it's true. I've never been a big animal print person, but I figured I have nothing to lose by trying it on. Side note: That's the beauty of Gwynnie Bee. If something doesn't work, just ship it back (for free!) and receive another item days later.
Dress by Asos Curve c/o Gwynnie Bee // jacket by Wet Seal // shoes by Lane Bryant //sunglasses by Old Navy.
I'm glad I gave the dress a chance because the red-orange is so perfect for fall. Instead of wearing it in my go-to romantic way, I topped it with a military green and faux leather sleeve jacket from Wet Seal+. I instantly felt like a badass as soon as I put it over the dress. I mean, how could you not when your outfit consists of military green, leather, animal print, and suede boots? That's an equation for rocker chic.

Quicker than expected… some information from David Adams, the area education officer at Kent County Council:
The average pupil product from a new house is 0.28 of a primary aged child, meaning 100 homes would be expected to produce 28 primary aged pupils, and assuming they are spread evenly across the age ranges, would mean 4 children per year group. The data you have presented would indicate (based on 2012) that if 225 new homes appeared overnight, the school would have been able to admit the pupil product in to Year r, and would have displaced the non-siblings from further afield.
Clearly what is more difficult to manage is the arrival of school aged children into new houses, as the school will already be full. There is no easy solution to this, as in reality families would be offered a place at a more distant school that had vacancies.
Over time, these issues work themselves out the system. As more local children are admitted in to year R, fewer children from Kennington are admitted, which over time reduces the number of sibling links for these families. Once the housing has been completed and the initial cohort of school aged children have been displaced, things return to their natural state – families will move in and out, casual vacancies will exist and be filled. But as most children enter the school in year R, over 6-7 years the school returns to meeting the needs of its community.
I love the idea of a house producing 0.28 of a child. If my house got together with my neighbours' houses… maybe they could start a family?

As use of the cloud becomes increasingly prominent in our day to day social lives, SMBs may be thinking about whether using it in business will enhance success. We're strong advocates of cloud computing, so have compiled our top 5 reasons we'd recommend using cloud for business:
Cloud computing works on a per user basis
Each cloud user works on a subscription basis, meaning that companies in high growth or who are employing staff quickly have a system that scales with them. Likewise, if you have a drastic cut in size, you aren't left with a large redu ndant server and unused computers in your office.
Scalable subscription based models save you money throughout the year
Paying by subscription means you only pay for what you use. There is no large outlay for servers, infrastructure and buying PCs – effectively you are renting these from your supplier and spreading costs throughout the year.
Using thin clients (simple disc-sized machines) means you don't have to buy traditional PC towers. With no moving parts, they use around 70% less energy so are ideal for eco-friendly offices!
Encryption and knowledge
Cloud providers provide you with the safety of knowing exactly where your data is being stored, and how it is encrypted to protect against hacking. As you are accessing your files via the internet, no data is physically stored to your PC or laptop, therefore you don't have to worry about losing data if your device is stolen or accidentally damaged.
Cloud is flexible in two ways. How you work and how it works.
With cloud computing, you can access your files anytime, anywhere, freeing you and your employees up to work out of the office, while travelling, and outside of the routine 9-5.
Cloud can enable quick communication and ability to work on the same files from opposite sides of the world
Need to speak to a client and showcase some of your work? Invite them to a conference call and share your presentation via the cloud. Working on a big project? Share your client's files online with them to save them coming in to your office.
There are endless reasons to use the cloud, but granted it may not always the best solution for all businesses. That's why we'll always provide the most suitable computing solutions for your business.
To find out more about cloud computing and how it can work for you, speak to a member of our team.

Online Casinos Using Paypal
The industries surrounding online slots are all in competition with one another for each element of the player's experience, making it incredibly difficult to keep up, especially when it comes to technological advances. It's not all fun and games though as money is no laughing matter and casinos need to take it seriously if they're going to get great customer satisfaction. This is where payment methods need to excel for a seamless gaming experience. That's why we're going to show you what are top online casinos using Paypal.
Featured Online Casinos Using Paypal: Making online slots a comprehensively safe experience
Casinos are constantly battling it out for the number one spot in any competition, but not just to be there for the title. Serious online casinos like the eight listed below are looking to provide the players with immense quality and varieties in every aspect from gaming choices to customer support service options and payment methods. They know what players need to look out for and they do their utmost to offer it to them. When the topic of online transactions arises, people are instantly on guard because of their potential vulnerability, but that is exactly what PayPal avoids in conjunction with these reputable casinos. While deposits and withdrawals differ in terms of amounts and waiting periods, they all strive for the highest level of security available and the easiest way to pay, universally understood to be done with PayPal as outlined below.
Here is our selection of featured online casinos using Paypal:
#7 William Hill
International Casino Options for an International Audience
Top online slots with PayPal can be said to include William Hill by its reputation alone. They have been the longest standing casino as society today knows them, and have grown to include almost every aspect of a user-friendly experience. Their range of games is fantastic featuring the likes of 'The Flintstones', 'Superman', 'Miss Fortune', 'Roaring Wilds' and 'Wild Wishes'. When paired with good customer service, an app for going mobile and the ability to play slots using PayPal, this casino starts to rank closer than others for its extensive attributes.
Should time be an issue, the same options exist as LeoVegas when it comes to online slots PayPal deposit and withdrawal methods. The casino website offers a 'Deposit' option using Paypal where the player needs to click and then be re-directed to their Paypal account in order for instant confirmation to take place. On the negative side, one can only deposit a meagre 5,500 GBP compared to other payment methods and there is a 0-24 hour waiting period for withdrawals, but it still remains faster than cards and cheques which can take up to a few days, thus still regarded as one of the safest and fastest online transactions.
#6 BetVictor
Spinning into Sixth Place
While the British BetVictor heritage may lean toward sports, their seemingly endless list of available online slots that use PayPal says it could be expanding even more since its inception in 1946 to become an all-rounder of the gambling industry. Some of their more notable games include '88 Fortunes', 'Ming Dynasty', 'Manic Millions', 'Wild Antics', and 'Epic City'. The international acclaim is viable when considering that players from over 150 countries have joined in on the fun, which is mostly made possible by having the option of making online slots deposit with PayPal amongst other e-wallets.
The great thing about depositing with the slots UK PayPal method is that the minimum is only 5GBP, transactions are infinite with no additional fees. However, the PayPal user isn't awarded the amount of their first deposit up to 200GBP as some other transactions do. Top slots with PayPal don't always need this though, as lucky reel spinners have many bonus features within every game with which they can increase their total winnings. When combined with excellent technical support 24 hours a day with live chat to assist with absolutely any BetVictor queries, it easily slides into sixth place.
#5 Slots Magic
Very Close to the Action
The online casino previously called 'Jackpot Party' has transitioned into a different direction while still keeping in tone with their passion for a good user adventure of online slots using PayPal. They hold two licenses and have translated their information in over 20 languages in order for most of the world to benefit from their many advantages over other online casinos. Some of their most popular slots include 'Hot Wheels', 'Bruce Lee', 'Rainbow Riches', 'Pick n Mix', and the infamous 'Monopoly', keeping players occupied with their plethora of bonuses, platforms and payment options.
Like most (online) casinos, there are countries that are restricted from using these fun-filled services, but the majority can still enjoy these online slots with PayPal and even play on the go with mobile versions. Unfortunately, the minimum deposit fee is 20GBP as is withdrawal, with the maximum withdrawal available being 10,000GBP. Deposits for online slots UK PayPal are instant, making it very easy to start spinning at a whim, and withdrawal takes a maximum of two days. Top slots with PayPal aren't few and far between, letting Slots Magic squeeze into fifth place when taking all of the above into consideration.
#4 888 Casino
Great Games and Great Payouts
Many things might be said about 888 Casino, but laziness is not one of them. This casino is the longest running online casino with slots that accept PayPal as one of their transaction methods, making it incredibly easy and relatively fast for users to cash in and out as they please. An added benefit is that customer support services are consistent in their promise for assistance, something that the online arena strongly requires. Fans of the comic genre can go wild with choice over games like 'Spider-Man', 'The Incredible Hulk', 'Fantastic Four', 'City Life' and 'Pirates' Millions' at the starting line, with over 100 to choose from.
In terms of financial transactions, for online slots UK PayPal is the way to go with the universal reputation for being fast and secure by just confirming the player's identity through their PayPal account. The web's longest-running and award-winning casino allows for various payment options like PayPal with little to no transaction fees, but they are still growing and have not yet included all countries making it available only to the ones fortunate enough to have access. The lucky latter can get a welcome bonus of 100GBP though, and with games that are in the forefront of today's technology, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay away.
#3 LeoVegas
Safety and Customer Satisfaction Come First
LeoVegas is well-known for its versatility of providing customer satisfaction throughout the entire journey of playing online slots. Their games are also noteworthy of versatility as they offer darker adventures like 'Happy Halloween' and 'Creature from the Black Lagoon', jovial treats like 'Mega Moolah', and even more imaginative and exciting ones such as 'Siberian Storm', 'Magic Portals', 'Wild North', and many more. The vivid renditions of characters, seamless gaming experience, and superior operational abilities render the player awestruck in anticipation to begin.
Practically speaking, payment methods are indeed the first thing to think of when choosing a casino and LeoVegas is no stranger to bringing a variety to the table. Luckily when playing online slots PayPal UK has it good because of their eligibility, but there is a limitation placed on maximum withdrawals. LeoVegas prides itself on its SSL encryption for security, but they have placed a limit of withdrawing 20,000GBP per month for the player's safety. Due to these little inconveniences, they have made agreements to make monthly instalments on higher winnings which could prove useful if the slots don't spin in the player's favour for a while. Whether the bonuses are to make up for this or not doesn't seem to matter as they are available all the same. Welcome bonuses, in-game bonuses, and VIP access overshadow little specks like that and have millions of players coming back for more.
#2 Winner Casino
Seamless Operations from Start to Finish
Winner appears to live up to their name by setting exemplary standards in the list of best slots PayPal usage. Their mission, in general, is to create a winning experience from start to finish so it comes as no surprise that it stands at number two. As all casinos on this list, they provide the player with a vast number of beautifully designed games to suit many tastes showcasing different themes as depicted by 'Chinese Kitchen', 'White King', 'Batman and the Joker Jewels', Bounty of the Beanstalk', and 'Monty Python's Life of Brian'. All games operate seamlessly due to their award-winning technology, thereby harnessing the essence of a great online slots experience. Winner claims that the player remains their top priority and they show it through their impeccable service from game to customer and banking satisfaction.
The player can rest at ease when spinning online slots real money PayPal and other banking options are secured using sophisticated technology to provide a safe network to play on the web, even when going mobile. While there is a minimum withdrawal and deposit limit of 20GBP, what casino can tailor to absolutely everyone's needs? New players can easily benefit from this by getting a welcome bonus of up to 300GBP and an even higher one for high rollers. The winnings can be cashed out in the same manner as most online slots that accept PayPal, except that it would take between 1-2 days to withdraw. The United Kingdom Gambling Commission did right by licensing Winner as they appear to have made many players happy with their array of games, bonuses and operational excellence.
#1 Ladbrokes
Superior in Every Way
Our number one among the online casinos using Paypal is Ladbrokes. Since Ladbrokes opened its doors in the late 1800s, it has blossomed into the prestigious company it is today, making it completely deserving of the number one slot of online gambling using PayPal. Their games are legendary and diverse, covering it all from film themes from 'Superman', 'Flash', 'Wonderwoman' and 'Titanic' to nostalgic fairy-tales with twists including 'Goldilocks and the Wild Bears', 'Big Bad Wolf', and 'The Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers'. Their generosity extends far beyond their selection of high-quality games in that they have welcome bonuses of various sorts, customer service at the player's fingertips whenever they need it and the easiest transaction methods to date.
Ladbrokes is world-renowned for having the safest slots that accept PayPal and bring bonuses to mobile regardless of payment method used unlike some of its competitors who are quite selective about this. The minimum deposit and withdrawal is a mere 5GBP with a maximum withdrawal of a whopping 250,000GBP per day! The cherry on top is that the payout time is an average of 5-6 hours meaningless worrying for the anxious players questioning whether their funds will come around soon after their request. The fact that they have some of the best security around ensures that all of the player's information stays private and secure. Overall Ladbrokes provides the ultimate experience in online slots with no limits to the level of effort they make to bring players superior quality of game choice, operational functioning including incredible user-friendliness, customer support and to top it off, the best payment method available.
