This blog post is unique in that it was originally posted on my previous blog, More Than Words. If you're interested in checking out the original post, you can find it here.
I wanted to revamp and reintroduce this post because I don't have many DIY projects on this blog and I want to share one that is cute and simple. If you're like me and have little to no crafting talent, this DIY is also very easy, fun, and cheap! And since I am also terrible at figuring out gift to give to people, it was easy for me to obtain the supplies and make the gift itself. This little gift idea is perfect for any occasion where you might want to let someone know just how much you love them – such as Valentine's Day, a birthday, or an anniversary. AND, it can be a gift for anyone: a spouse, a friend, a loved one, or your children.
I made this for Asa as a birthday gift a few years ago. To be honest, it was a little difficult to come up with 52 ideas (not that there isn't that much to love about him, but that sometimes things became redundant!), but he loved it all the same. He appreciated the time and thought put into each card.
Here are the supplies you will need:
- one deck of 52 cards
- a fine tip permanent marker
- a list of 52 things you love about the gift receiver
In the end, this gift would cost you the price of cards ($3?) and some time spent brainstorming loving ideas about the person to whom you're giving the gift! After the initial gift-giving, the cards can be used for a card game; use one as a bookmark; pin one to the fridge; and even carry one on your person to serve as a reminder throughout the day!

If you find that you need to replace the engine heads on your vehicle, you will learn that new engine heads can be expensive. You will usually have a choice between brand new heads and those that have been rebuilt. So, here is a comparison of the two.
Rebuilt Engine Heads
A rebuilt engine head has been completely disassembled and rebuilt using new components to replace the faulty parts inside. Rebuilt heads are usually considerably lower in price than new engine heads. However, although some companies do an excellent job of rebuilding engine heads, this is not always the case. Sometimes, rebuilders take shortcuts and don't replace parts that should be replaced or replace faulty components with used parts. So, before purchasing rebuilt engine heads, you should always do some research into the repair shop and find out about the quality of their work. Also, if you're considering rebuilt heads, make sure that you get an itemized list of new components that were used in the rebuild.
Brand New Engine Heads
With brand-new engine heads, you'll never experience any compatibility issues or subpar replacement components being used. Because brand-new engine heads are manufactured to meet or exceed the original manufacturer's specifications, you can almost always count on a quality part replacement for your damaged vehicle.
The only drawback with new engine heads is the fact that they're so expensive. Sometimes, it's hard to justify spending so much money on new engine heads for an older vehicle—when rebuilt heads will probably last longer than the vehicle itself. So, if you're considering installing new engine heads in your vehicle, you should consider whether the age and value of your vehicle merits the purchase of new parts.
Where to Get Rebuilt Engine Heads
There are many places to find and purchase rebuilt engine heads.
Buy Online
There are several excellent online retailers that sell rebuilt engine heads. Visit websites like RebuiltCylinderHeads.com and National Cylinder Head Exchange to find rebuilt cylinder heads for almost every make and model available. Both of these companies have good reputations for supplying clean and well done rebuilt heads. If you don't see the engine heads for your make and model listed on the website, simply send them an e-mail to find out about availability and price. Both of these websites ship to locations all over the country.
Try Local Auto Parts Stores
Many times, local auto parts stores provide rebuilt engine heads as well. Although most local auto shops don't stock rebuilt heads, they can quickly order them and usually have them available for pickup within a few days. Using a local auto parts store will also allow you to find out about which rebuilt companies or re-manufacturers provide the best product. This also provides you an easy point of contact if something goes wrong with the part.
Don't Forget the Junkyard
Don't forget about junkyards in your area. You may be able to find engine heads at a local junkyard that are in still in excellent condition and need nothing more than a good cleaning. If you're able to find a good set of engine heads, you'll probably be able to save a lot of money this way.
How to Replace Your Engine Heads
Here is a how to guide on how to replace the engine heads in your vehicle.
Tools and Materials
- A wrench set
- A ratchet, ratchet extension and socket set
- Standard and Phillips screwdrivers
- A breaker bar
- Shop rags
- A pry bar
- A new head gasket
- Aluminum paint, if necessary
- New engine oil
- New antifreeze
- A torque wrench
- A new exhaust manifold gasket
- A new intake manifold gasket
- A plastic pan
Engine Head Replacement, Step by Step
- Drain the engine oil. Remove the drain plug from your engine oil pan and drain all of the oil into the plastic pan
- Drain the coolant. Unscrew the drain petcock of your radiator and drain all of the coolant out of the cooling system
- Remove accessories. Remove any accessories around the engine cylinder head that might be in the way. For example, you may need to remove the power steering pump, air filter system or even the throttle body
- Remove the intake manifold. Using a ratchet or wrench, remove the intake manifold from the engine cylinder head
- Remove the exhaust manifold. Remove the exhaust manifold from the engine heads
- Remove the valve covers. Using the ratchet and socket set, remove the valve covers from the engine head
- Remove the timing belt or chain. Next, you'll need to remove the timing belt or timing chain using the appropriate tools
- Remove the rocker arm shaft and mounting bolts. If your car's engine head is equipped with a rocker arm shaft, you'll need to remove it. If you car engine has two heads, remove the other rocker arm shaft as well. Then, loosen the head to block mounting bolts. The bolts will probably be very tight, so you'll need to use a breaker bar in addition to your ratchet extension and socket
- Remove the cylinder head. Remove the engine head by lifting it off of the block. You may need to use a shop rag and a pry bar to gently dislodge the head from the block. Be sure not to damage the mating surface of the cylinder head
- Remove head gasket. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry away the head gasket from the engine block
- Install the new head gasket. When installing the gasket, make sure the front mark on the gasket is facing toward the front of the engine block
- Install the new cylinder head. Place the new engine head on the engine block and make sure that it is seated securely. Also, make sure that the dowel tips between the mating surface and the box are aligned evenly
- Install the mounting bolts. Apply a thin layer of engine oil on the threads of the head to block mounting bolts. Then, make sure to follow the recommendation of your vehicle manufacturer for the sequence of tightening the bolts
- Install the rocker arm shaft. If your car has a rocker arm shaft, install it along with the rest of the valve train components. Install them with your wrench or ratchet set and make sure to torque the bolts to manufacturer specifications
- Install the timing belt or chain. Reinstall the timing belt or chain
- Install valve covers. Using your ratchet set, reinstall the valve covers
- Reattach the exhaust manifold. Next, reattach the exhaust manifold and be sure to use a new gasket. Torque the mounting bolts to your manufacturer specifications
- Reattach the intake manifold. Reinstall the intake manifold and new gasket
- Reinstall any accessories. Reattach any accessories that you removed other in order to access the engine head
- Refill the coolant. Refill your radiator with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze coolant and water
- Refill the engine oil. Refill your engine with new engine oil of the type recommended by your car manufacturer

Recent rains have worked magic on area parks, turning them as lush and green as Ireland. Creeks are flowing, birds are chirping and trails beckon.
I explored St. Edward's Park off of Spicewood Springs Road this morning, during the first hike in the new Best Hill Country Hikes with Fit City series.
REI Outdoor School instructors lead the monthly guided walks, which we're calling Best Hill Country Hikes with Fit City. I tag along to represent Fit City — and because I like to hike and meet other people who appreciate outdoor adventure.
Dave Andreas of REI led our group of about a dozen up the steep rocky hills above Bull Creek at St. Edward's Park, where we got classic Hill Country views. We learned about golden-cheeked warbler habitat, listened to bird calls, talked about Leave No Trace principles and soaked up some fresh air. Then we looped down to the creek, where we inspected eroded limestone bluffs and walked through meadows of Indian blankets.
I'd much rather ramble around in the woods than sit in front of a computer on a Monday morning, so this new hiking series suits me just fine.
The next one is set for June 6 at Wild Basin Wilderness. On July 11 we'll explore part of the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve. Cost is $20 for REI members and $25 for non-members.
Please, take off work. This will be way more fun.
The hikes start at 9 a.m. and wrap up by 11 a.m. The group meets at the downtown REI store, 601 N. Lamar Boulevard. Cost is $20 for REI members or $25 for nonmembers. To register or for more information, go here.

Info meeting April 7 for Lancaster tie-in to Mt. Etna sewer system
Judy Fitzmaurice - Friday, March 27, 2009 3:33 PM
Mt. Etna officials will hold an informational meeting on April 7 for homes and businesses in Lancaster that will be tying in to the Mt. Etna sewer system.
The meeting takes place at 6 p.m. at the Lancaster Wesleyan Church, 3147W-543S.
Approximately 40 homes in Lancaster, the Lancaster Wesleyan Church and Lancaster Elementary School will all tie into the Mt. Etna system. Jim Lauer, of Schnelker Engineering in Fort Wayne, will conduct the meeting and answer questions regarding the connections.
The Mt. Etna sewer system became operational in the fall of 1998 and homes in the town were tied in by the end of that year. Plans for an expansion that would allow it to serve the village of Lancaster and Lancaster School began in 2000, but were delayed for various reasons.
The expansion was recently completed, including the main running to the Lancaster area, and all that remains to be done is making the individual connections. The April 7 meeting will provide information about making those connections.
"This is just for the Lancaster residents to be able to get the size and dimension of pipes, guidelines of hooking from the main into the residences," explains Mt. Etna Town Clerk Erica Dorsett.
Dorsett is preparing letters to send to all of those who will be connecting to the system.
"The letters will go out to residents within the next few days," she says.
The timeline for making the connections has not yet been determined, but officials will make those decisions before the April 7 meeting.
"We haven't discussed that yet," Dorsett says. "We (town officials) will have a meeting before that meeting (on April 7) to determine the timelines."
For more information call Dorsett at 468-2703.

Use this dialog box to access additional restore options. Note that all the options described in this help may not be available and only the options displayed in the dialog box are applicable to the component installed on the client.
Automatically Detect Regular Expressions
This option allows you to use wildcard characters to specify the patterns for files and folders to be included in the restore. When selected, the system will recognize supported regular expressions (wildcards) in the specified Source Path. When cleared, the system will read the specified Source Path as literal.
This option is selected by default for direct restore operations. For Browse and Restore operations, the option cannot be enabled as you are selecting definitive paths to restore.
Skip Errors and Continue
This option allows a restore job to continue regardless of media errors and outputs a file that lists the full path names of the files that failed to get restored.
Restore device files as regular files
This option allows you to restore the actual data in the device node file of the raw partition to a regular file system file.
Use Exact Index
This option allows you to associate the media with the most recent index available in the CommCell.
Skip MountPoint Restore
Specifies whether to filter out mount points that are part of the backup data during the file system restore. When enabled, the file system restore will filter out the mount points from the backed up data. When disabled, mount points will also be restored during the file system restore.
Recover Apple Resource Fork Data
Specifies whether to restore encoded Apple resource fork data to your non-Macintosh file system.
Enforce Label Checking on Trusted Solaris
This option applies only to Solaris File System iDataAgent. This option specifies whether to check the label for the associated Solaris zone during a restore to a Trusted Solaris 10 system and therefore control whether the data will be restored to this system. If this option is enabled, this label is checked, and if the destination for the restored data is a zone other than the zone where the data was originally included, the restore will not complete successfully. If the option is disabled for this scenario, the data will be restored to the specified destination (zone).
This option is enabled by default if the destination client is a Solaris 10 client or higher except for scheduled restores following an upgrade, and it is not displayed if the source client is a non-Solaris client. The option is disabled for all other scenarios.

Your Austin Real Estate Investment and Wealth Building
I receive regular inquiries from prospective investors about investing in real estate in Austin. At the outset I try to determine the objective of the investor by asking some questions. Usually it will be an open ended question like "Why do you want to own investment property in Austin TX?".
Then I just listen.
It's amazing how many prospective Austin real estate investors cannot articulate a coherent reason for their interest in investing in real estate. The responses vary from wholly uninformed dream seekers, kicking tires and "researching" on a whim (which is fine!), to incredibly informed wealth builders who really do know their numbers and what they hope to accomplish with a real estate investment over time.
It's the latter we seek to help, though I like to think I'm always helpful and friendly to the ones with unreasonable hopes and expectations by discussing it a bit, or directing them to our Investing in Austin Real Estate page.
The most striking disagreement I have when talking to prospective investors comes about with the ones focused solely on "cash flow". They want to buy a "property that cash flows at least a couple of hundred a month".
I don't personally care about cash flow, so I'm unsympathetic to this requirement. I'm not tuned in to it, because it's not how I think about wealth building. Cash Flow is meaningless to me. Many are confused when I say this.
I just think it's the wrong thing to focus on because that's not what ultimately determines the success or failure of a real estate "buy and hold" investment, over time. I'll explain further below with an actual real life example of a property I actually own.
What I do want from my real estate investment is that it produce a slow, steady, reliable increase in Net Worth over time. That's it. I'm patient, as this is something that happens over decades, not a quick flip. I am a "Buy and Hold" real estate investor, and that's who I specialize in helping as well. I help people seeking wealth accumulation, not income.
I don't need "income from rent", aka "positive cash flow" at this point. I will want that and will get it later in life, after all the real estate is paid off. But, for now, I am on a journey to cross a "financial freedom finish line", which is that point in time at which, should I so desire, I can quit working forever and not run out of money – ever. This should be your financial goal as well. That is my hope for you.
I will in fact reach that financial freedom finish line because I'll own a number of "free and clear" rental properties that continue to appreciate in value while also producing rental income sufficient to support the lifestyle I desire. That's the end game. Current "cash flow" income today is not important to me because it doesn't affect the progress toward that goal nearly as much as other factors do.
I'm building future wealth with real estate, not looking for a present income stream. It's no different than the "negative cash flow" (if you want to think about it that way) which you invest into your IRA/401K through monthly payroll deduction or "dollar cost averaging" outside your paycheck. That's how I think about "negative" real estate cash flow.
How I think About Money
I can't really point to a "guru", or say that I'm a disciple of any sort of "investment philosophy", but I have since the 1990s read articles by Scott Burns (now retiring) and I like to catch Money Talk by Carl Stewart on KLBJ AM Radio in Austin when I can (or the podcasts). I was also profoundly influenced 20 years ago after reading The Millionaire Next Door. It's a great book, and everyone should read it.
The result of absorbing content from these sources, and others, is that I've adopted "beliefs" and "money habits" that cause me to live a lifestyle well below my means, with no debt other than real estate debt. Then, I continuously plow the excess income into real estate investments that have slowly built over time, starting in 1994 with my first real estate investment purchase.
I do also pay into a tax deductible IRAs. But, mainly, because I am a real estate Broker, and a professional property manager, real estate investing has been my chosen path to financial freedom.
Unlike a lot of my Realtor friends, my standard of living does not fluctuate up in good markets when commission income increases. I drive a Jeep live in middle class housing. In good Austin real estate markets, when I earn more, I simply use it to buy more real estate instead of upgrading my lifestyle. Then when the market slows, and income drops, there is nothing to cut back on as I plan for those dips by living well below my means, seeking happiness in ways other than consumer consumption.
That's my philosophy in a nutshell. I do splurge on vacations though. 🙂
Example of an Actual "Negative Cash Flow" Property I Own
So, let's look at a typical "negative cash flow" Austin rental property that I own. I'll use the "worst" negative cash flow property I have, the one with the highest negative cash flow. This is a single family home, with 12 years remaining on a 15 year note. I'll try to make this as simple as possible.
Rent: $1,700
Payment: $1,730 (Payment + Interest only)
Prop Tax: $570 ($6,851 annual divided by 12)
Insurance: $149 ($1,791 annual divided by 12)
Total PITI = $2,459 (PITI = Payment, Interest, Taxes, Insurance)
Gross Negative Cash Flow = $759 per month
Yikes! "Dude", you must be thinking, "You're terrible with money. That looks like the worst real estate investment I've ever seen! You're losing $759 each month!".
Am I?
Patience, Grasshopper. Let's keep running the numbers. Remember, I don't care about cash flow. I'm trying to grow Net Worth. And I'm redirecting income that would otherwise support a higher consumption lifestyle into the real estate investments, so I can grow Net Worth. So let's see how this investment affects Net Worth.
Because I only buy real estate using 15 year loans, the equity paydown portion of of the PITI is slightly more than half of the $1,730 PI (payment+interest). Let's work that out, then we'll also add Appreciation in value.
Let's switch the numbers to annual from here forward:
($9,108) Annual cash loss ($759/mo x 12 months)
+ $9,801 Equity Paydown over past 12 months (will grow larger each year by the way)
= $693 positive added to Net Worth
What the above shows is simply that $9,801 of last year's payment went to principle paydown, thus increased the equity in the property by the same amount, and therefore is not an "expense' or a "cost" or a "loss". It's simply the moving of that amount from a Cash category on the Net Worth spreadsheet over to a Real Estate Equity category for that property. Nevertheless, it actually is "positive" by a small amount in this case.
Next we have to add value appreciation. Real Estate goes up in value, "appreciating", generally at a rate greater than inflation. I have a column in my Net Worth spreadsheet that computes 0.375% of the real estate market value of each property I own as additive to Net Worth each month. 0.375% multiplied by 12 = 4.5%, which is the historic average annual appreciation of real estate in Texas.
In this case, the example property was worth $310,000 last year. Using the historic average appreciation of 4.5% (according to Texas A&M Real Estate Center), the value increased to $323,950, which is a value increase of $13,950.
(Note: In reality, homes in Austin appreciated at about 10% annually over the past 5 years, but investors should assume 4.5% annually over time nevertheless, as markets have ups and downs. From 2008 through 2011 our market was flat, and even decreased in some areas. So 4.5% is just a conservative static number upon which to base assumptions over decades of time)
So where does that leave us, adding back Appreciation and Principle Paydown?
$693 + $13,950 = $14,643 increase in Net Worth for the year.
In other words, owning this rental property which had negative cash flow of $759 per month, actually caused an increase in Net Worth of $1,220 per month, when properly computed in the context of "how does it affect my Net Worth?".
I have about $150K equity in this particular property, so if I sold the property and invested the $150K in a mutual fund, could I expect a return that would equal the return on equity that the home produced as a rental property?
$14,643/$150,000 = 9.7% Return on Equity.
The return on equity will go down as the home value increases and equity grows, because rents will typically not increase enough to keep up. When fully paid off, the return on equity is a return on the full market value (less selling expenses) of the home. At present, a cash purchase of a typical rental home in Austin will generate about a 5% return. That's actually not great, historically. But there are no 6.5% CDs available currently either, so real estate is the investment of choice for many who otherwise would prefer a "safer" investment.
In the old days, we expected 12%-18% return on real estate investing. But that was back when an 8% return was assumed on the alternative of stock investing, and fixed income investments beat inflation. Investors should be rewarded with greater returns on riskier investments, and real estate is no doubt a risky investment.
I won't go into the debate of whether we should trust the stock market to return 8% over time anymore, but I personally trust Austin real estate more than the stock market. I do invest in both though, mainly with Vanguard Target Retirement index funds because they are "set it and forget it", which I like.
Finally, the above does not compute in the cash value of Depreciation, which is a non-cash deduction taken on the Schedule E Rental worksheet, and thus reduces taxes owed, thus further increases the return on the real estate investment.
It also, however, ignores repairs and maintenance, which fluctuate over time (though the example property actually had no repair expenses last year). So the above is not a "perfect" example of real estate cash flow, or how it affects Net Worth. No doubt, some years produce a "loss" if major expeses happen or the market takes a downturn. But the example is meant simply to illustrate that "negative cash flow" is not necessarily a money losing operation.
And if you start accumulating 3, 4, 5+ rental homes, the wealth building starts to snowball in your favor over time as interest payments shrink, rent grows, and appreciation happens. Regardless of the cash in/out on your pocketbook.
If you are living cheap and have plenty of income and cash reserves, then, like me, "negative cash flow" won't bother you at all as you observe what's happening to the bottom line of your Net Worth Spreadsheet.
Make sense? Feel free to comment and disagree if you have a different point of view.

He was raised by his mother and grandparents, who worked steadfastly to instill in him the principles of hard work and determination.
Sean attended the Detroit Waldorf School, a ...school of art, from Kindergarten to 8th Grade where he was introduced to a spectrum of art and culture. He later attended Cass Technical High School where he furthered his music career, met life long friends, and gained the support of fans and peers as he independently sold copies of his music.
Sean gained a strong relationship with 102.7FM, a local radio station in Detroit where he displayed his rhyming skills weekly. There, he met Kanye West after a radio interview in 2005 and got a chance to display his talent by freestyling for Mr. West, giving him a copy of his music and sending numerous tracks for him to critique. After months of submitting songs and numerous meetings, Sean finally got the call from Kanye West himself saying that he wanted to sign him. Big Sean officially signed to G.O.O.D Music in 2007 and then signed to Island Def Jam in 2008.
Cyhi The Prince
Cyhi first gained major buzz in 2010 when he received a cosign from Kanye West.[7][8] He reports that the singer Beyonce, a friend of West and the wife of his mentor, Jay-Z, convinced Kanye to sign him to the rapper/producer's G.O.O.D. Music label.[9] This culminated in Cydel's inclusion on the popular single to Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, "So Appalled," as well as several tracks from West's G.O.O.D. Fridays series.
Although no title has been released, CyHi has been working on his debut album, due in late 2011. He has already recorded with Royal Flush II producer CPK, and plans to work further with previous collaborators the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, No I.D. and Kanye West, as well as DJ Toomp, The Alchemist and Just Blaze.

So what if I told you that we were going to write a book? Sounds like a challenge, but we're not ones to shy away from a challenge. What if I told you we had 90 days in which to do it? 90 days to take it from idea, to outline, to draft, to final manuscript, to published. 90 days to create something that will withstand the test of time. 90 days to capture the heart and soul of this venture and put it on paper for the world to consume.
90 days.
3 months.
12 weeks.
Holy shit.
As the clock struck midnight last weekend, that's exactly what happened. Our first book was published. We sat in bed, waiting, as the minutes ticked down, nervously looking at each other. Then we saw it. We opened up our respective Kindles and there it was. Our book. OUR BOOK! We were published authors, just like that. We had conquered a seemingly immeasurable challenge. We overcame fear and all of its attempts to derail us. We made it happen.
Three months ago, it was an idea brought to us by a friend. What a great thought; cement our guiding principles through the written word, plant our flag, and force this venture to stand up proudly. We loved the idea, but in crept our old nemesis, fear. Neither one of us was a writer, and certainly we had never taken on writing a book. Where would the inspiration come from? How would we do it? Could we do it? Why would anyone care even if we did? There were a few conversations early on that included responses of "yeah, but…" However, we knew our principles, and had been living them every day. As soon as "yeah, but" appeared, with fear lurking behind those words, we immediately recognized it and addressed it. Had we not, this book would never have come to fruition. The biggest challenge we faced, and still face today, is fear. Virtually everyone can attribute hesitation, safe decisions, and a retreat to comfort to fear. Of the ten principles upon which Fat, Drunk and Fancy are built, facing and overcoming fear is the linchpin. If you can't get past that one, the others will be significantly harder to achieve. That was our challenge, and we had 90 days in which to conquer it.
The preface and introduction were late night inspirations. I would jump out of bed, awoken by the thoughts racing through my head, and plant myself on the couch. Staying quiet so as not to wake anyone in the house, I would write. When I'm inspired, the words flow from me like a stream flowing from high in the mountains down to the valleys below. It was a start, an anchor in this project. Kim began to capture her experiences, and contacted friends and family where she thought she could find a great, powerful story. She interviewed people, took copious notes, and began to transcribe them into stories. We sat together and discussed those stories, ideas for weaving our principles into them, and crafting a narrative that would best capture our desires and our vision for the world.
There were challenges. Creative differences, looming deadlines, revisions. It was stressful. There were even some fleeting moments where it seemed that we would miss our deadline. We pushed through. We made it clear that no one, and nothing would get between us and our goal. We had a message we needed to share, and it would be shared on time. Edits, revisions, new ideas, brainstorming, right up until the end. There was a sigh of relief when we sent the manuscript off to the editor, and then another sigh when the completed manuscript was uploaded. It was about to become real. We were going to publish our first book. Finally, just a few days ago, that idea became reality.
Now there are new fears to contend with. How will this be received by the public, by our followers, and by those in the book? That remains to be seen. However, we are confident that it will anchor the mission of Fat, Drunk and Fancy. We will continue to face down fear, and make damn sure fear blinks first. That's what this is all about. Living life with no regrets. And that, my friends, begins with conquering fear.

With the world's largest network of patented and proprietary monitoring technologies, Genscape delivers unique, real-time fundamental data to provide market insight and intelligence

Over the past decade, Genscape has invested heavily in research and development, and continues to be awarded numerous patents. Genscape continues to build an extensive network and a wide range of tools to better inform trading and operational strategies surrounding energy supply chains.

If your diet consists of no dairy and you want to try a fiber-rich snack, check out this non-dairy probiotic pudding. While it does contain fat from the coconut cream, it is probiotic rich and has approximately 70% of your daily calcium needs. Not to mention, it has 10% vitamin A and an impressive 20% of your daily iron requirements.
- Unflavored Almond Milk (1 cup)
- Blueberries (1.5 cups)
- Condensed Coconut Milk (1 can)
- Chia Seeds (1 cup)
- Vanilla Extract (2 Tsp)
- Stevia (1 Tsp)
- Cook time 3 hours due to refrigeration time.
Fiber! Fiber! Lots Of Fiber!
However, if you deal with constipation or IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome), you'll want to make this pudding recipe. Not only is it non-dairy, but it contains a whopping 16 grams of fiber, which equates to 65% of your daily fiber intake. The fat content in the pudding is due to the use of heavy coconut cream. Utilizing coconut cream is one major ingredient in making many non-dairy and even vegan desserts. However, chia seeds which are usually paired with coconut cream or other types of non-dairy creams contain fat as well. Though, chia seeds offer a healthy fat, one that offers the body and the brain a little boost.
Chia Seeds Benefits
Chia seeds are naturally high in antioxidants and Omega 3 Fatty Acid, which promotes brain health. The antioxidants in chia seeds are said to help with anti-aging, digestive health, and promote heart health. The reason for the heart health is that chia seeds reduce inflammation and simultaneously regulating cholesterol levels.
In fact, check out how much just a small amount of chia seeds offers valuable nutrients. Chia seeds are packed with protein and potassium. Just one once of chia seeds offers 115 grams of potassium and 4.7 grams of protein. Chia seeds also contain magnesium, calcium, and iron.
Adding Probiotic Capsules To Your Pudding
Finally, adding probiotic capsules is one yummy way to consume gut healthy probiotics. This pudding is for non-dairy dieters wanting a treat similar to yogurt and healthier than pudding. Yogurt does contain natural probiotics, but if you are like many, in which case can not eat dairy. Regardless of the reason, you might be lactose intolerant or your lifestyle no longer consists of dairy. You might want to try this recipe and consider 310 Nutrition's brand new line of 310 probiotics for a healthier gut and body.

The show must go on. That's certainly the mantra of The Merrillvelle Merry Art Players, who are launching their 22nd season with a classic Christmas play, SUFFER THE LONG NIGHT, a 1950s melodrama that finds the suburban Burling family held hostage by two escaped criminals.
But it's not the Burling family who suffers a long night. It's the actors playing them. 19 of the 23 cast members are out due to flu, but the remaining cast members are determined to persevere, along with the help of several last minute replacements. What could go wrong? Everything! What follows is a hilarious farce filled with out-of-sync sound cues, missing props, and plenty of mishaps. Think NOISES OFF! with a Christmas tree.
With a script by the co-creators of the hit film Meet the Parents, SUFFER THE LONG NIGHT is a hysterical Holiday comedy that will have audiences roaring with laughter. The comedy had its World Premiere in Los Angeles in 2008. Agape Actors Co-Op's production of it will be the show's Texas Premiere.
SUFFER THE LONG NIGHT will be directed by Jeff Davis, Agape Actors Co-Op's Associate Artistic Director and the Director of Agape's recent production of SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS. "I was fortunate enough to catch the World Premiere production of SUFFER THE LONG NIGHT in Los Angeles back in 2008," says Davis, "and I distinctly remember laughing so hard I cried. The only thing better than good theater is making fun of bad theater. SUFFER THE LONG NIGHT does just that for two hours. There's no big, profound statement on life or the human condition. It's just pure entertainment, and I think during the stressful time of the Holiday season, that's what audiences want to see. I can't wait to share this extraordinarily funny show with Central Texas audiences, and I think people are going to love it just as much as I do."
WHO: Agape Actors Co-Op
WHAT: Suffer the Long Night by Mary Ruth Clarke and Greg Gilenna, directed by Jeff Davis
WHEN: December 11th – December 21st Thursday – Saturday at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:30pm

Testimonials From Prop-Masters
I work in film and TV production in New York City and Karl Business Machines is an invaluable resource for vintage and antique typewriters, copiers, bond traders and calculators. Rick who helped me can find anything! He has so much knowledge. Everything they rented to us, though forty years old, was in pristine working condition. It's a huge relief knowing Rick is there for all my office typewriter prop rental needs.
Barbara, NY
I was working on a period movie from 1967 and was in need of 12 matching IBM Selectric I typewriters for one of our sets. There were several requirements that had to be met. They all had to match in color and of course all be working. Where else do you go for something like this? Karl Business Machines of course. I thought it was a tall order but Rick didn't bat an eye. Three weeks later I had perfectly matched typewriters for the Police Station. Everyone on set was very impressed. I was very happy.
Thanks to everyone at Karl Business Machines
David, NY
"Rick and the entire Karl Business Machines staff were extremely professional and accommodating in helping our company secure several typewriters for our Super Bowl event. At any time of the day Rick was available to answer every beck and call that we may had. Without hesitation he would call us to make sure we received emails or pictures of the product and ensured that we were satisfied with our purchase. Karl Business Machines guaranteed a speedy and efficient turnaround time all the way from placing the order to delivering it to our doorstep which did not disappoint. If I am ever in need of another typewriter I would without a doubt choose Karl Business Machines again"

Data quality tools: useful, but not a magic bullet
Get expert insight on using data quality tools, including an overview of their capabilities and the proper role of data quality software in a data quality improvement program.
The mere perception of poor data quality can be enough to trigger actions intended to drive quality improvements – with those actions frequently materializing in the form of purchasing data quality tools. However, while buying and implementing data quality software may be seen within an organization as concrete evidence that progress is being made in fixing data quality problems, true progress often is delayed until the tools are properly put to use as part of a comprehensive set of data quality processes.
The purchase and use of data quality tools is justifiable in most cases, but the key to success isn't so much about acquiring a tool set as it is about getting the right tools at the right time to supplement best practices in data quality management. Business needs should always drive tool acquisition, and dovetailing good quality management procedures with the right kinds of tools for your organization will optimize your investments in data quality technology.
Fortuitously, a properly done data quality assessment yields tangible results that can help make the case for the incorporation of data quality tools into a quality improvement plan. The prioritized lists of data quality issues and potential fixes that the assessment process produces essentially define the business needs for data quality improvement and the steps that can be taken to correct the problems.
Remediation tasks that are approved and funded as part of a data quality program may include validation of data quality rules for completeness, consistency and reasonableness; data imputation (which attempts to "fill in" missing data); data standardization, correction and enhancement; and management and tracking of data issues. Some of those functions can be supported by data quality software, but they all rely on well-defined data quality processes and procedures being in place. The technology itself is not a magic bullet for fixing data quality issues – a fact that data quality teams should make clear to corporate and business executives when seeking approval for product purchases.
That doesn't mean the available tools aren't useful. Most data quality vendors provide some or all of the following capabilities:
Data profiling: Profiling software does statistical analysis of a data set's values to identify potential errors and present them to business executives and users for review. A profiler can analyze the frequency distribution of values in a data column; it can also do cross-column analysis to look for inherent value dependencies and cross-table reviews to search for overlapping value sets. Data profiling tools provide a mechanism for concretely analyzing data quality across different dimensions, such as data completeness, validity and reasonability.
Parsing: Slight variations in the representation of data values may lead to nonconformance with predefined formats. Parsing tools can determine whether a value conforms to a recognizable pattern as part of the data quality assessment, matching and cleansing process.
Standardization: Pattern-based parsing supports automated recognition and standardization of critical data elements – for example, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of customers. Standardization maps data variations to known patterns, thereby normalizing data values and effectively cleansing data errors. Words can be changed to abbreviations, or vice versa; common misspellings can be corrected; entries can be translated from one language to another. In addition, standardization can help to improve identity resolution, data deduplication procedures and master data consolidation.
The key to success isn't so much about acquiring a tool set as it is about getting the right tools at the right time to supplement best practices in data quality management.
Identity resolution and matching: Identity resolution is a process in which the degree of similarity between different data records is scored, most often based on weighted approximate matching between a set of attribute values between the two records. If the score is above a predefined threshold, the two records are deemed to be a match and are identified as most likely representing the same individual or entity.
Data enhancement: Tools supporting data enhancement add information from third-party data sets, such as household lists and name standardization and demographic data reports, in an effort to further improve data quality. An example is address standardization and cleansing, which relies on parsing, standardization and the availability of third-party address information. Many industries benefit from data enhancement; for example, it can help reduce delivery costs, improve direct marketing response rates, boost customer profiling and segmentation efforts, and increase the accuracy of credit data used to assess and reduce financial risks.
But as mentioned above, data quality tools are only part of the answer to data quality issues. In order to make them an effective component of data quality improvement efforts, they need to be used to achieve specific business objectives under well-defined data quality management processes. That begins with the development of a metrics-based data quality business case and the data quality assessment, which typically involves the use of data profiling tools. A data quality program can then be extended to include processes such as data validation, remediation and monitoring as well as the ongoing management of data quality rules.
A data quality assessment should provide the justification that IT managers and data quality teams need to get approval and budget money for buying data quality tools. But devising a realistic and clear-eyed plan for integrating the tools into the data quality process will enable more effective use of the data quality software and avoid creating the impression that the technology itself will magically fix your data quality problems.

Press Release:
Good evening. I am here to introduce to you a new band. You will always remember this evening, as you are the first audience to hear about the band, which will go on to shake the music industry to the core. However, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, but you will not be hearing from the band this evening. They are very busy preparing for the possibility of contemplating their first show, which you will hear about in a few minutes. At that time, you will be given a inside tip about how to score FREE TICKETS for this gig, but first I should explain the membership arrangement of the band, as it is a bit special. The band is a trio consisting of two humans and a third member, a "third term", which is referred to as "the floating concept." The floating concept triangulates the members and makes the band structure as we know it possible. The band structure is therefore equivalent to a trinity. Without the floating concept, the band would spill apart in a matter of hours due to its own frivolity and according to the second law of thermodynamics.
Who are these band members, you will want to know? Of course you do. When something this special, this fresh, this frankly white hot, comes along it draws all eyes. Well, I can let you in on this much–the members are multi-talented young artistes on the cutting edge of fashion who are even as we speak enacting the first true artistic theory of the 21st century. They are considering and arranging all aspects of their performance, except those aspects that relate to the music to be played. There is a reason for this–the band can play no music, owns no instruments, and is in no hurry to learn their craft. They are instead, busy, very busy, honing their CONCEPT, Just as night follows day, and form follows function, the band believes, as its only tenant of belief, that craft follows concept (twitter hashtag #cfc).
Now, with the three members in place, is there room for more, you may ask. Yes indeed. In fact the band is actively recruiting a fourth member, and the position is wide open. There are some conditions on this member, however. First, the fourth member must be a woman, a female. Second, she must be gorgeous and bewitching. (For the time being, in advance of her arrival, we shall refer to her as the "background term." Upon her arrival, the band will, momentarily, become a quaternary.) Third, and crucially, she must break up the band almost instantaneously upon joining it. There are no other conditions.
Now, you will be eager to know when and where the band will be playing as the break up of the band could occur at any time, in the blink of an eye, and is entirely at the mercy of the bewitching female, the eternal anima. Fortunately, plans for the band's first gig are already well underway. The band will be convening in March of 2014 in Boracay, just 11 months from today, to discuss its next move. At this point we are thrilled to be able to announce that in Boracay the agenda point of a concert or live event of some kind IS a distinct possibility. In short, a performance concept MAY be discussed.
What that performance might look like is currently a matter of the highest secrecy not to mention massive uncertainty. After all, as I am sure you will agree, the first true artistic theory of the 21st century, the theoretical descendant of surrealism, pop art, and the theater of the absurd, needs some little time to germinate. It cannot be rushed. However, there is some information that we are prepared to release tonight. First, initial scouting has been undertaken on the island of Gibraltar, and very tentative discussions are being undertaken with representatives of the Zimbabwean government regarding possible locations. At present, we are referring to these as "Plan A," and "Plan B." In the event that either Plan A or Plan B materializes, you will be able to score FREE admission by simply attaching yourself to the flash mob which will storm the venue precisely 20 minutes after the band takes "the stage." In order to join the flash mob, you will simply need to locate third member of the band, the floating concept, who will be leading the mob. Please be aware that the floating concept IS floating, and therefore by definition is subject to frequent re-definition and re-nominalization. In other words, by the time the third term reaches this putative future time/space conjunction it may well be styling itself as something entirely other.
There is a Plan C. Plan C will be referred to as "Plan C." Plan C is cancelation. In the event of cancelation, the concert/event will be simulcast across all platforms for viewing in the comfort of your own home.
I know that at this point you will be salivating to know more, that you will already be scouring the internet for more information about the band and its concept. What we can say is, anything you might read online is the purest of speculation. The band does not leak, in fact it does not even hold water. From an atmospheric point of view, however, the band is currently working under the following umbrella, and I quote:
"The new girl in Tahoe has swallowed Sinatra's c**/ A Russian primadonna dances slow on valium/ After the game the benchwarmer can't get a ride/ in space there is no center/ we're always off to the side
Guinnevere orders one more beer in the smokey pick-up bar/ A burnt out tramp by the exit ramp waits for one more car/ The Latin teacher always smells like piss/ The census figures come out wrong/ there's an extra in our midst."
An extra? A fifth member? Is that a leak? Does the band leak? Does it, after all, hold water?
Come and see, follow us across all social media platforms at#cfc and craftfollowsconcept.com, tell your family, tell your friends, tell your neighbors, don't tell a soul. The telos of the art world is about to be revolutionized, about to jump the shark, run rampant, build its own contingent, its own motherf***ing army. Follow the band, tap into the excitement come and see a legend while it's still being made! Ladies, gentlemen, I give you, THE BAND.

- Can India keep its flag high?
Investor-friendly provisions in the new Companies Act and changes in the methodology to weigh investor protection drove India's surprise jump in this year's investor protection indicators in Doing Business 2015: Going Beyond Efficiency, a report published by World Bank in October.
This year, India rose 14 places to the seventh rank on the protection-of-minority-investors' list, a silver lining to the gloomy larger picture of the country sliding to the 142nd position on the overall list in terms of doing business.
However, with several rollbacks and postponement of reforms announced, following complaints from companies, India might struggle to maintain its position when World Bank revisits the index next year.
Nadine Abi Chakra, co-author of the report, told Business Standard India's score in terms of protection of minority investors increased due to the Companies Act, 2013, and the introduction of new indicators. "India is, in fact, ranked first on the shareholder governance index. It is 27th in terms of conflict of interest regulation, as a result of the Companies Act, 2013. Overall, India improves from 21st (DB2014 back-calculated) to seventh in the rankings," she said.
This year, the authors of the report changed the name of the 'protecting investors' indicator to 'protecting minority investors' to better reflect the indicator's scope. As a result, three indices were added to gauge protection in matters beyond conflict of interest. And, the existing ease-of-shareholder-suits index was expanded to take into account the allocation of legal expenses.
M P Vijay Kumar, chief financial officer of Sify Technologies and author of several books on company law, said reforms in the Companies Act were key to the jump in rankings. He identified 10 key areas in which the new law had enhanced minority investor protection (See box: Key reforms in Companies Act, 2013). But consultants such as Yogesh Sharma, assurance partner, Grant Thornton India LLP, feel some of the stringent provisions introduced to protect minority investors are "so strict that perhaps, these are harsher than in some of the most advanced capital market jurisdictions".
Such complaints by consultants and corporations led to a rethink in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Since June, the ministry has announced at least two rounds of dilution in the definitions and norms governing related-party transactions. Proxy advisory firms had pointed out instances in which some companies that would have required 'majority of minority investors' nod' for a related-party transaction escaped the provision due to relaxation in the Act.
A new indicator was added to gauge corporate governance beyond related-party transactions. The extent of shareholder governance index encompasses a range of issues and data:
Further, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, which had strengthened its corporate governance norms in April, also revised the regulations and announced changes in September, just a fortnight before it was to be implemented on October 1.
The Doing Business 2016 report, to be published next year, will assess the impact of reforms and amendments implemented between June 2 this year and June 1, 2015.
Chakra doesn't rule out the possibility of negative amendments affecting the rating. "In fact, during each cycle, the Doing Business report team takes note of reforms – negative or positive – implemented by economies around the world and assesses their impact on the data." Chakra added, the data came from a questionnaire to corporate and securities lawyers and were based on securities regulations, company laws, civil procedure codes, court rules of evidence and all amendments thereof.
During each cycle, the indicators on protecting minority investors ascertain minority shareholder protection against directors' misuse of corporate assets for personal gain. They also gauge other aspects of corporate law that are unrelated to this transaction but indicative of the protection of minority shareholders.
Sharma of Grant Thornton said the rollbacks might not significantly impact the rankings adversely next year. "It is worth citing, none of these exemptions and relaxations (including proposed ones) will hamper the interest of investors or the public at large, as these cover only private companies and companies with no or very low public interest."
He added, the underpinning idea behind some of the recent amendments, was providing practical relief to companies facing challenges in implementation, the cost of which might have outweighed the benefits.
Shriram Subramanian of Ingovern Research Services, a proxy advisory firm focusing on minority investor issues, says, the rollbacks in reforms may not affect the rankings significantly. "Some norms apply, as they have enhanced corporate governance; others have subsequently been diluted or postponed. Still, we have made progress in the positive direction," he said.
According to experts, implementation of these provisions would be important for the ranking. "As far as the ranking goes, I think it will really depend on how effectively the government monitors the compliance with the new law," said Sharma of Grant Thornton.

DRDO is developing 'multi-calibre guns' which can load and fire both small and large bullets to meet the requirements of Army, a top official said on Friday. " The Army is to now go for a different variety of guns and ammunition. So, they are planning to go for, what is called, multi-barrel guns... And that we are doing already," DRDO chief Vijay Kumar Saraswat told reporters here.
The guns were being developed by DRDO's lab at Aerial Delivery Research & Development Establishment Armament in Pune and they were "undergoing trials," he said after inaugurating 'DRDO Research and Innovation Centre,' its collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M).
He said the proposed Defence Technology Commission (DTC) was under the government's consideration. "Lot of discussions have taken place in the constitution, empowerment and as well as the functions of this commission. And it is awaiting the approval from the government. So, as soon as the approval comes, we will institute it," he said.DTC's basic role will be to increase the self- reliance index (SRI) in defence technology in the country and to create a synergy between production, R&D and delivery of the systems to the user in a timely and cost effective manner, Saraswat, the Scientific Advisor to the Defence Minister, said.
To a query on the marketing arm of DRDO, he said, "We have already constituted its functionalities and the charter. It will have some parity with the Antrix. But it will have some differences also, because we have a very large user in terms of the armed forces, whereas Antrix has users who are civilians. So, there will be some differences."
He said that some of DRDO's commercial items were facing competition from the marketing efforts of multi national companies in the field.
"The companies which got the technology from DRDO do not have the same amount of resources for marketing. So, now that is one big handicap for the product," he said.

Rejoice! You've been axed. Now you have all time in the world for yourself. Weren't you secretly wishing that an apocalypse either sets things in your office right or takes you somewhere better? Now that you are out of it all why look at it with the lens of a pessimist. Take things with a pint of optimism instead and let the fun begin.
- Earn While You Learn Chill: Severance pay is a good enough reason you can stay unemployed for a while. Enjoy the free money and splurge on the things that interest you. Moreover, you wanted to chuck your job anyhow; now you don't even have to serve the notice period.
- Sleep Your Way through the Morning (and afternoons): Since you turned 3 till date, you have been forced by institutional obligations to wake up at 6 a.m. and retire to bed when the clock strikes mid-night. Now that you are a free bird why not switch on the hibernation mode?
- Catching Up With Bum Chums: It's been long time since you planned a get together with like minded weirdos (read: bum chums). Being laid-off means that you have the time and the opportunity to stick back together and watch a couple of movies or go biking.
- Time for Love: If you have someone in your life then you know what we mean. And just in case you haven't yet got your chance may be this lay-off gives you one. Be everywhere, get noticed and for once please try speed dating.
- Time to Get Fit: Admit it; you have been gaining a lot of belly fat sitting all day in your chair exercising nothing but your fingers that have been constantly typing on the keyboard. One serious reason why you should love biding adieu to your job is that it gives you a reason to get back in shape.
Now that you have enough motivation and reason to look forward to the lean season, update your resume just to ensure that your temporary vacation does not stretch longer than you planned.
Some girls are made of sugar and spice and all things nice. Others, like me, are red haired, raw, and quite plus sized. Read my work on food and fashion on this blog.

Do Darn Tough socks live up to their name? You bet they do!! All Darn Tough socks are knit on small needle, fine gauge knitting machines for a durable, high density stitch without bulk. Less bulk means a better fit. The better the sock fits, the longer it will last. Only fine gauge, high micron 100% merino wool is used in the knitting of Darn Tough wool socks.
