Nicolette is a conceptual fashion identity, and an experiment in shaking up a stale industry. Rather than hooking into the current visual landscape of the activewear niche - namely, dark colors and generic images of mountain-climbers - the goal was to make fitness feel like a party.
For whom taking oneself too seriously is considered moral turpitude, the target market is made up of people who'd sooner die than slog through a 5 AM workout in drab colors and styles. Vibrant primary colors mix with versatile neutrals to create an identity that's both playful and high-end, with clean sans-serif type treatments and bold lines lending a contemporary feel. Cheeky photography rounds out the creative direction, building upon the digital foundation to produce a fun and engaging brand experience.

Hi. I'm alece.
I'm the Founder & Owner of Rest Easy Nashville.
Looking back, I realize I've always worked in hospitality — just in the most non-traditional way possible.
Before moving to Nashville in 2011, I started and ran a nonprofit in South Africa for 13 years. In addition to our work in leadership development and AIDS prevention education, we also hosted thousands of short-term travelers over the years, providing unique opportunities to experience the culture of our wildly diverse and beautiful Southern African region. One of my personal (and favorite) priorities within the organization was ensuring that our guests had the best experience possible during their time with us.
After purchasing my East Nashville home in 2013, I ventured into the world of Airbnb hosting. As someone who loves to travel and experience other cultures, I discovered that hosting guests from across America and around the world appeases my inner wanderlust — and fuels it at the same time.
I launched Rest Easy Nashville in 2017 to help others who want to enjoy the benefits of being an Airbnb host, but feel overwhelmed by all the details or the time it requires.
I've always been passionate about quality experiences, excellent service, and genuine hospitality. Now I get to channel those passions toward showcasing our vibrant city, offering travelers a more local experience, and helping homeowners earn effortless income with their short-term rental properties.

Our Program of Recovery
Robb Kelly designed our addiction recovery program based on four key aspects. These are the concepts that differentiate our program and allow Robb Kelly Recovery Group to lead the way in Permanent Recovery.
Because Dr. Robb Kelly is both a recovered alcoholic and an addiction specialist – he recognizes and understands the disease from both personal and professional experience. Based on his own expertise and experiences, he developed a 3D model of addiction based on three core concepts: fear, abandonment, and shame. Dr. Kelly recognizes that these three core beliefs drive the disease of addiction and alcoholism. He works to change and alter these mindsets to finalize the solution to permanent recovery.
At Robb Kelly Recovery Group, we offer an exclusive one-on-one personal addiction recovery coaching program. We create tailored individual recovery programs that offer the suffering addict a solution that can lead to permanent recovery. Our program is based on the specific needs of our clients, and no program looks the same.
Many treatment facilities will market individualized treatment, but the client is most often treated in a group setting. The client may see a case manager or counselor in a one-on-one setting but this is often a very small percentage of their actual treatment program.
The heart of our program is based on the knowledge that an addicts mind and thinking are the problem. Thus, we must study the behavior of our clients' and the behavior changes that may lead to relapse. Dr. Kelly studies the disease and watches for symptoms that may manifest through body language, a change in mindset, or other altered behaviors.
There is a false belief that a client needs a structured living environment during early recovery. Although we know that structure is critical to success, we believe in treating the client in their own living environment. The majority of treatment programs in the U.S are inpatient based. This means the client stays on site and is delegated to the facility in which they attend. They may leave the facility to attend 12 step meetings or medical appointments, but the majority of the time they are based on-site.
Many people who attend inpatient treatment state that the true test of recovery comes after you leave treatment. In an inpatient facility, you are safe and secure – drugs and alcohol are banned from the environment in which the client lives – and they are living amongst other addicts and alcoholics. The reality is that this type of treatment promotes a false security. We believe that a client should experience life on life's terms. They should have the freedom to recover in their own living environment. Our clients are free to experience life as it comes.
All of the staff at Robb Kelly Recovery Group are recovered addicts and recovered alcoholics. From our own experiences, we have joined forces to battle the disease of addiction. We know that our purpose is to transform our clients' from their sickness to the solution. We help them fully understand the cause and conditions of their disease and we watch as they change drastically from hopeless to capable. Our clients' gain hope from hopeless and power from powerlessness – they gain strength and they recover.
We are Robb Kelly Recovery Group and we are here to offer you the solution to permanent recovery. Are you ready to recover?

Bill Ewell Puts An Evil Spin On His '70 'Cuda
The E-Body has reached "exotic" status in the Mopar family. Their prices are soaring, and the cars are in high demand. In recent times, shops have been pumping out some crazy modified Challengers and 'Cudas. One look at Bill Ewell's '70 'Cuda and you might assume that it's just another shop car. But when you find out that his hands were involved in every part of the build and that most of the work was done in his driveway, you'll know you assumed wrong.
Bill has owned many A- and B-Bodies since he was in high school. he was never really a fan of the E-Body, but they eventually grew on him over the years. In early 1998, he began looking for an E-Body. He searched from California to New Jersey, but nothing came up. Then a coworker told him about one stored in his neighbor's garage. Bill remembered seeing the white 'Cuda around town a few times, but it wasn't for sale, so he just continued to drive his '69 340 Swinger. Several months went by, and he heard from a friend that there was a white '70 'Cuda for sale. He knew there was only one white one in town, so he called his coworker to get the scoop. It turned out the 'Cuda was now for sale, so Bill went and purchased it that day. It was clean, numbers-matching, and powered by a 383 backed by a four-speed.
Bill drove the 'Cuda for about a year until the clutch started slipping. Being the gearhead that he is, he knew this was a great time to do a full restoration. Every car starts with a dream or a vision, and he was dreaming big. He felt that Plymouth hit the nail on the head with the looks of the 'Cuda, and he wanted his car to have the same look with just some minor cosmetic changes.
"I wanted to lower it, put modern wheels on it, and go over the top with performance," Bill says.
After some debate about what color to paint the car, a friend suggested black. "What's better than a triple-black 'Cuda? Nothing!" Bill exclaims. From that day on, the car was known as Black Betty. That name choice took on an eerie element because almost every time they worked on the car, that song, performed by Ram Jam, would play on the radio.
Well, you can't make a car look evil unless you match those looks by putting in an equally menacing powerplant under the hood. The latest trend was to install a new fuel-injected Hemi, but Bill wanted to be different. Shortly after getting started on his project, the opportunity to buy a 451 stroker came up. His buddy, Bobby Reese, had a 451 short-block sitting in his shop for one of his race cars. Bill persuaded Bobby to sell him the engine so he could put it in his 'Cuda. Together, they built the engine into a total screamer and put a Tremec TKO five-speed behind it.
For the body, Bill enlisted the help of his friend Zeke Ballinger, who had restored several cars and was up to the task of paint and bodywork. For several years, they worked on the car in Bill's driveway, getting all the little things fixed and attaching the car to a rotisserie. Zeke sprayed it down with PPG and U-Tech basecoat and clearcoat, which was followed by 65 hours of wet sanding and polishing by Bill. "I have learned so much about paint since doing this project. there's nothing like learning on a black car," says Bill.
After the paint was finished, things slowed down while Bill went through a divorce. He feared the car might have to go, and he would never be able to finish it. But, thankfully, he was able to keep the car and complete his project.
A small wrench was thrown into his plans for a black-on-black look for his low-slung 'Cuda when he was experimenting with colors over chrome. Bill was mesmerized by red, but he didn't want to stray from his black-on-black vision. When it came time for a wheel choice, a friend suggested that he do a set in red and a set in black-something that would be totally unorthodox. he liked the idea, which gained support when he thought back to the old cars that would run mismatched wheels. So he went through with it and couldn't be happier. "Some hate it; some love it. I love it, and that's all that matters," he says. He does get questions about it a lot, but he just laughs and acts like he's colorblind.
The 'Cuda was finished in early 2007. its first show was the '07 Mopars at the Strip in Las Vegas, where it was a big hit. they even invited him to display the car at the Cannery Casino. Black Betty took home first place in the E-Body Modified class and won Best of Show (Modified).
Bill continues to attend shows, but he really wants to get out and drive the car more. "There is no fun in building them if you can't enjoy them," he says. Building cars in your driveway is never easy, but building them any other way isn't nearly as rewarding. This sinister-looking fish was made to drive.
Fast Facts
'70 Plymouth 'Cuda
Bill Ewell, Colorado Springs, Co
Mopar Power
Engine: A 451 ci ensures that this 'Cuda isn't just a looker and that it moves out, too. It was assembled by Bob Reese with the assistance of Bill. A steel stroker crankshaft, Mopar .600-lift camshaft with Crane 1.6:1 rocker arms, and ported aluminum Edelbrock cylinder heads provide the power. TTI 1 7/8-inch headers with 3-inch collectors evacuate the exhaust from the big-block and feed it into tti 3-inch pipes and Flowmaster mufflers.Fuel, Air, Spark: The big-block is fed by a Demon 750 carburetor and a Holley Street Dominator intake manifold. A complete MSD ignition system with M.A.D. Enterprises upgrades to the wiring harness and charging system.
Transmission: A Tremec TKO 5-speed offers superior performance, comfort, and drivability over the factory four-speed.Rearend: A beefy sure grip Dana 60 with 4.10 gears.
Sure Grip
Suspension: The front now features Firm Feel upper control arms, factory lower control arms, aluminum strut rods, and .960 torsion bars. For the rear, ESPO custom springs are used to lower the ride height 1 inch. Bringing the E-Body to a halt are 11 3/4-inch factory front power discs with vented and slotted rotors and TSM 11-inch rear discs with vented and slotted rotors.
Rims & Rubber: Coy's C-5s measure 18×8 up front and 18×9.5 in the rear. Bill had the fronts painted red; the rears remain true to his black theme. Modern day rubber gives this fish all its grip with BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW tires. The front tires are 245/45ZR18s, and the rears are 285/40ZR18s.
High Impact
Paint & Body: Zeke Ballinger can be credited for spraying down this black beauty, while Bill assisted with the bodywork, wet sanding, and polishing. It now features a shaker hoodscoop and flat-black hockey stripes on the rear fenders.
Interior: Bill didn't want to follow the trends of custom interior 'Cudas, so his retains a factory appearance with subtle changes that are hard to identify. The factory seats have been recovered and are six-way adjustable. The Rallye Dash has an updated tach and clock; a Pioneer CD player and speakers make up the audio system. Other interior renovations include new black carpet from ACC, a pedal dress-up kit, a Pistol Grip shifter, and a new Rim Blow steering wheel.

This topical and timely book critically explores contemporary liberal international relations theory. In the fifty years since the declaration of human rights, the language of international relations has come to incorporate the language of justice and injustice. The book argues that if justice is to become the governing principle of international politics, then liberals must recognise that their political preferences cannot be the preconditions of global ethics. The hierarchy of international political ethics must be constructed afresh so that the first principles of justice are accessible to all agents as political and ethical equals.
This book will be essential reading for students and scholars in politics, international relations, political theory and ethics.
1. Setting the Scene; International Relations as Political Theory
2. Cosmopolitanism and Critical Cosmopolitanism
3. Developmental communitarianism: liberal Ambitions, Secular Approaches
4. Critical Constructivism: Onora O'Neill on Moral and Institutional Cosmopolitanism
5. Secular Hegelianism: Frost and the Limits of Developmental communitarianism
6. Michael Walzer: Moral Creativity and the Minimalist Universalism of Reiteration
7. John Rawls, Developmental Communitarianism and International Ethics

Dress - ASOS
Top - ASOS
Shoes - Topshop
When I saw this ASOS daisy dress, I fell in love immediately. There's something about daisies that I can't resist. Daisy print clothes, daisy jewellery, daisy anything.
It's advertised as a midi dress but, with my super short legs, it's more like an 'almost maxi'. I contemplated taking it up a little, then decided that (even with wonder web) I'm far too lazy.
I paired this with my ever faithful ASOS top and the Topshop shoes I've worn in nearly every outfit post for the last month or so.
Right now I'm meant to be getting ready for work. I have to leave in 10 minutes, so this was obviously the time to start typing up a blog post. Have wonderful Fridays!

The Adam Ezra Group (AEG) is not just a band; they are a force to be reckoned with musically, personally and socially. Selling records and tickets is important to AEG, but they are committed to changing the world with their songs and their actions along the way. Ezra and his band are activists and community leaders as much as they are musicians and songwriters. Ezra has spent time living out of a van, farming in Canada, volunteering for the relief effort in Kosovo,and practicing environmental geography in South Africa. Whether as a kitchen hand or carpenter, teacher, athlete, or traveler, Ezra crams it all into the music, always challenging our perspective and often teetering somewhere between the ballsy rocker and sensitive poet. Through their new non-profit organization, RallySound, AEG helps people organize live music events that inspire communities and encourage grassroots activism.
The group's live performances, sweaty, passionate affairs that have been compared to those of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, attracted the attention of Royal Avenue Records in 2010. Ezra immediately signed with Royal Avenue and began working on the album that eventually became Ragtop Angel. The label paired the group with multiplatinum producer Aaron Johnson (best known for his work with The Fray) who has helped hone Adam's ramblings into finely tuned songs that still retain the power and conviction developed from Ezra's years of "do it yourself," grassroots work ethic.
In 2011, AEG released "Ragtop Angel," the group's debut recording on Royal Avenue Records. Upon it's release, "Ragtop Angel" shot to the top of the Amazon charts (peaking at #4 behind John Mayer and Sarah Bareilles) and was featured on iTunes "New and Noteworthy Rock Albums" in December of 2011. Soon after, Ragtop Angel won "Album of the Year" and "Takin' Off" won "Song of the Year" at the New England Music Awards.
Over the course of the last couple of years the group found themselves with a handful of acoustic songs that they loved but didn't seem to fit in the context of other albums or live shows.... What to do? They decided to put them on all on one acoustic album. The group locked themselves in a cabin in the Catskills, set up instruments and hit record. The result is the brand new album "Daniel The Brave."
Having toured with Rusted Root, The Wailers, The Avett Brothers, Corey Smith, Deer Tick, Jason Mraz, The Goo Goo Dolls, Blues Traveler, Los Lobos, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Dwight Yoakam, and many more, the Adam Ezra Group has graduated from the local Boston scene to the national level with a momentum that is catapulting them towards being one of the country's most talked about bands.

Just like the name suggests, Buttered Bourbon's sound is crafted to be both approachable and nuanced, with a mellow quality that goes down smooth. After meeting in Atlanta in 2014, Jared and Martha Jean quickly realized their musical chemistry. Pulling from the wide-ranging grab-bag that is American music, they deftly maneuver from folk ballads to swampy blues to straightforward pop, each song elevated by the purity of Martha Jean's vocal delivery and Jared's unique, understated instrumentation: guitar, harmonica, flute, and the occasional tambourine.

"Over the last 10 years we have stayed several times and attended a wedding, we never get tired of visiting. It's a beautiful hotel with great history (worth reading up on). The staff, food, hotel and Tynemouth never disappoint."
"Excellent location for both a wonderful view of the sea and experiencing the charming borough of Tynemouth. I could not have asked for a better place to lodge - our room and the hotel's facilities were excellent, the staff very polite and most helpful. We had a spot on breakfast in the hotel's dining room the following morning before heading out. I made a note for a return stay at The Grand Hotel the next time I'm in the Newcastle area."
"Pure decadence! Escaped to the Grand for one night and wish we could have stayed longer. I grew up in and around Tynemouth in the 70's and both my nan and grandad worked at the Grand in the 60s and 70s, so I've wanted to stay here for ages. Absolutely gorgeous - the room was amazing, the fluffy white towels were luxurious, in fact it was all fabulous. We dined in Copperfields and the food was hot and tasty, we even treated ourselves to breakfast before we left and so glad we did. Thank you Grand Hotel for surpassing my expectations, we will be back!"

Brian Eno "Bloom" iPhone/iPod Touch App
Special Message: If you like the music Bloom makes, you'll probably enjoy our Ambient Music Blog Podcast, a continuous mix of context specific ambient music available for free.
Brian Eno released an interesting little application for iPhones and the iPod Touch that allows users to create generative music. I haven't played around with it yet, but it looks, at worst, like an interesting diversion.
Eno says, "Bloom is an endless music machine, a music box for the 21st century. You can play it, and you can watch it play itself."
What else would you expect him to say?

Mr. Sewell Newhouse, the inventor of the Newhouse Trap grew up surrounded by the Iroquois Indians of the Oneida Tribe; that tribe which alone of all the Red men cast in their lot with the Americans in our great struggle for liberty.
At an early age he learned the gunsmith's trade. In those days guns were all made by hand, and in small shops. Mr. Newhouse soon became very skillful both in making and shooting the rifle. At that time "Turkey Shoots" were very popular, and Mr. Newhouse was always sure of his bird at sixty to eighty rods. It was a puzzle to many of the old hands how he managed to shoot so accurately, even when the wind was blowing "half a gale" till it was finally discovered that he had fitted his rifle with an adjustable wind sight. This was one of his early inventions that has now come into common use in target shooting.
The Indians were very fond of shooting at a mark both with the rifle and the bow and arrow, but they would seldom try conclusions with "Sewell" — as they all called him — for he could always out shoot them with the rifle, and very few of the tribe were as skillful as he with the bow and arrow. In wrestling too, a favorite game of the day, Mr. Newhouse was more than a match for the best men of his time both white and red.
Some time before the year 1840, Mr. Newhouse undertook the manufacture of traps and so popular had his traps become that in 1842 they were well known to all the tribes of the state, so that about this year, when a large part of the Oneidas moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin Territory, an essential part of this outfit was a stock of Newhouse's traps. Thus their fame spread to the West.
It is related that a delegation of chiefs from one of the Algonquin tribes of the Great Lake region once called at Mr. Newhouse's Shop. They had used some traps from a rival manufacturer but were much disgusted with them for in the intense cold of their country the springs would break. "As breaks the pipe of peace in war time." They looked over his stock of Traps, pressed down the springs with their moccasined feet, grunted and shook their heads in disapproval. Then Sewell went out to the frozen creek nearby, the savages watching in silence. He chopped out a huge piece of ice, and bringing it to the shop broke it into pieces which he threw into a large tub of water, then setting half a dozen of the Traps he plunged them into the water, and in sight of the astonished and pleased Red Men he sprung them all off.
This severe test was enough for the visitors, and at his own price Mr. Newhouse sold them his entire stock of traps. The affair greatly pleased the neighboring Oneidas for well they knew when their "Sewell" made and tempered a trap spring by his secret and "magical" process it would stand up to its work under any and all circumstances.
Early in the fifties Mr. Newhouse removed from his home at The Oneida Castle up the Valley to a spot now known as Kenwood. Here close by the bank of the rushing Oneida he established himself in a little smithey and began to make his famous traps on a larger scale. He was soon after assisted by some of the mechanics of the Oneida Association — as the old Oneida Community was then called — of which Mr. Newhouse had become a member. In a few years it became evident from the increasing demand that the business must be enlarged and a small factory was built for the purpose.
Still the demand continued to increase as the Community began to send out an agent to solicit orders in the West. The great Hudson Bay Company sent in some large orders a custom by the way, which they have continued annually from that early time until the present day.
More shops were erected, water power and special machinery were introduced but still the demand outgrew the supply, till finally the Community was obliged to build on a much larger scale at the present site of its factory, where the waters of Sconondoa Creek furnished for a long time ample power for the business.
Here Mr. Newhouse for many years after he ceased to work at the bench and forge, spent his time in perfecting the manufacture and in the general oversight and inspection of the work. With the eye of a lynx he was ever alert to see that no trap bearing his name went out of the factory except in perfect condition. Here before he left this world for his long, long rest he carefully educated and trained a number of men to continue the business with the same painstaking spirit he had so long maintained.
The Trap illustrated here is one of the earliest made by S. Newhouse after the business was established in the Oneida Community Shops about the year 1853.
Every piece was hand forged from wrought iron or steel. It was roughly but strongly made and has endured for over half a century. This trap belonged to one of the pioneers of Wisconsin who had used it for many years. It is still in good working order, the spring being as lively as on the day Mr. Newhouse so carefully and skillfully forged and tempered it.

HIV Testing
From the CDC MMWR for June 21, 2013:
In April 2013, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force updated its 2005 guidelines on HIV screening, to recommend that clinicians screen all persons aged 15–65 years for HIV infection at least once, regardless of their risk; that younger adolescents and older adults with increased risk also be screened; and that persons with increased risk be screened more frequently (3). These updated recommendations are based on increasing evidence of the benefits of early antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected persons and its effectiveness in preventing HIV transmission.

My buddy Brian had a kid a few years ago, and he comes to me this summer and he goes, 'Man, my son just flunked the third grade. I don't know how to tell my kid he's going to be held back a year.' I was like, 'I guess you better tell him slowly so the little dumb ass will get it.'

A Morning down on the coast birding.
I met up with Juan Perez Contrerasat AKI in Granada to headed down to the coast at Motril, we arrived at Cabo Sacratif near Torrenueva just to the east of Motril where we spent some time sat on a very windy rock looking out to a quiet (bird wise) sea. We did record a few Northern Gannets (Alcatraz Atlántico / Morus bassanus), small numbers of Balearic Shearwaters (Pardela Balear / Puffinus mauretanicus), Great Cormorant (Cormorán Grande / Phalacrocroax carbo), Sandwich Tern (Charrán Patinegro / Sterna sandvicensis), along with Lesser Black-backed (Gaviota Sombria / Larus fuscus), Yellow-legged (Gaviota Patiamarilla / Larus Michahellis) and Mediterranean Gulls (Gaviota Cabecinegra / Larus melanocephalus). Whilst there we also saw lots of Crag Martins (Avión Roquero / Ptyonoprogne rupestris), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Sylvia melanocephala), Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata), Feral Pigeon (Columba livia), Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto) and Cattle Egret (Garcilla Bueyera / Bubulcus ibis).
At the end of the seawatch we headed to the Port where we spent a while trying to find Gulls, let alone any with rings on. The Port has got far busier in the last year or so and the bird numbers have dropped drastically but we did find a few Lesser-black Backed and Black-headed (Gaviota Riedora / Larus ridibundus) but none with rings on. Whilst driving around we disturbed a female Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus) which was feeding on a Collared Dove, quite a big catch and when she flew it made her work quite hard. In the area we also picked up Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros), Grey Heron (Garza Real / Ardea cinerea), White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba) and a Peregrine Falcon (Halcón Peregrino / Falco peregrinus) which was sat on the end of a distant concrete sea wall.
Our next stop was at Charca de Suarez, we started by having a look from the small hide at Laguna del Taraje where we heard but did not see the Moustached Warbler (Carricerin Real / Acrocephalus melanopogon) which was singing from the reeds at the back of the pool. Here we had nice views of Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita), Common Moorhen (Gallineta Común / Gallinulas chloropus), Eurasian Coot (Focha Común / Fulica atra), Purple Swamp-hen (Calamon Común / Porphyrio porphyrio), Little Grebe (Zampullín Común / Tachybaptus ruficollis) and Blackcap (Curruca Capirotada / Sylvia atricailla). We then retraced our steps back to the gate and went around the reserve in the usual direction calling at the hide over looking the first pool, here we had 3 Gadwall (Anade Friso / Anas strepera),lots more Crag Martins, Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula) and Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula). We continued on passing an area of willow scrub on the way and picking up 4 adult Night Herons (Marinete Común / Nycticorax nycticorax) roosting amongst the tangled branches. We arrived at the hide looking over Laguna Trebol and scanned the margins and chatted to some Spanish Birder that were also taking photo's, whilst there I got some more shots of the female Common Stonechat that had been there a week or so ago on my last visit.We also saw three of the introduced Red-knobbed Coots (Focha Moruna / Fulca cristata), Zitting Cisticola (Buitrón / Cisticola juncidis), Linnet (Pardillo Común / Carduelis cannabina), Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Carduelis chloris), GreyWagtail (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea) and Cetti's Warbler (Ruisenor Bastardo / Cettia cetti). Our next stop was at the main hide where I spent some time getting some photographs of a couple of Little Grebes which were in the reeds just in front of the hide, one in good summer plumage the other in full winter colours. Other species seen were Common Pochard (Porrón Común / Aythya ferina), Northern Shoveler (Pato Cuchara / Anas clypeata), 2 more Red-knobbed Coots and 2x Black-necked Grebes (Zampullín Cullinegro / Podiceps nigricollis). We returned to the small hide that we started at, on the way we looked throught the screening and located a female Ferruginous Duck (Porrón Pardo / Aythya nyroca) and a male Red-crested Pochard (Pato Colorado / Netta rufina). At the hide we could still hear the Warbler but again we did not see it so after a while we decided to head down the road and check a small pool on the side of the Golf Course. Over the pool I had my first Barn Swallow (Golondrina Común / Hirundo rustica) of the year which was mixed in with a good sized flock of Crag Martins. A little further on we had a most unexpected Wryneck (Torcecuello / Jynx torquilla) which showed well in a small Pittosporum bush.On the beach we saw several more Northern Gannets and a couple of Balearic Shearwaters which landed on the sea. We headed back towards the car checking another pool on the course on the way but this produced nothing new.
We then started to make our way home via the agricultural areas near Charca but again we added nothing new there so we made our way back to Granada and then I headed towards home. I took the short cut from the Motorway across through Mesia and over the fields, just after turning on to the first track I picked up a flock of Common Waxbills (Estrilda Ondulada / Estrilda astrild) which were feeding on weeds near a couple of new pools dug out in the fields. When they went up I counted 37 birds but missed a fewso I guess that there were somewhere between 40 and 45 birds in the flock, before I got home I also so saw 55+Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax), 120+ Stone Curlews (Alcaraván Común / Burhinus oedicnemus), Northern Lapwing (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus), Green Sandpiper (Andarrios Grande / Tringa ochropus), Crested Lark (Cogujada / Galerida cristata) and Sparrowhawk (Gavilán Común / Accipiter nisus).
Thanks for a cracking day Juan, see you soon. Photographs from the top: Little Grebe (Zampullín Común / Tachybaptus ruficollis), Northern Gannet (Alcatraz Atlántico / Morus bassanus), Lesser Black-backed Gull (Gaviota Sombria / Larus fuscus), Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Northern Shoveler (Pato Cuchara / Anas clypeata), Eurasian Coot (Focha Común / Fulica atra), Red-knobbed Coots (Focha Moruna / Fulca cristata), Ferruginous Duck (Porrón Pardo / Aythya nyroca), Black-necked Grebes (Zampullín Cullinegro / Podiceps nigricollis), Common Stonechat (Tarabilla Común / Saxicola torquata) and Common Waxbills (Estrilda Ondulada / Estrilda astrild).

Hello fellow tea imbibers, my KT is coming along fine, two additional flavors, working on ginger and pomegranate. Sipping 4-8 Oz's of the mother batch daily has trimmed my waist line and now acquiring a taste for the bitter grog. Wonder why the first swig makes me light headed, so little alcohol it should not matter. Tea of choice in addition to the KT, Golden Tip Pu-erh, which too requires gaining a taste for as well. A blast of winter is on its way, stay warm and enjoy your tea for the day.
Open for Blessings
Tea with Wheatley

Note: Don Preston is a full preterist and therefore his teaching cannot receive full or blind acceptance. His many videos on YouTube are worthy of listening and interacting with in a timeline manner.
@1:08: We all know that I disagree with him here. Yes it is important. Yes it is crucially important. But no it is not the dominant theme. The dominant theme remains the adulterous Israel and her covenantal unfaithfulness to God. I haven't written extensively to defend this view point but must begin to speak about it to contradict Mr Preston.
@1:50: This is a good point from Mr Preston. Here we will agree against the dispensational or future thought of Israel being the persecuted people. The text itself simply does not support this independent of the time text.
@3:20: What happened to the cute little text screens that kept us from having to look up the Scriptures? Isaiah 2:19-21 is an interesting text. Kenneth Gentry described how the Jews hid themselves in caverns under the city of Jerusalem in a last effort against the Romans. It is certainly a very interesting passage with fulfillment in Revelation 6.
Not much I can disagree with here for Mr Preston. Not sure this is a strong argument for the dating of the book but it provides useful insight into the book of Revelation.

Did a 4 hour canvas on Saturday and a lot more people have moved from the undecided column into the Obama column around here and all around Ohio, so that's good.
Today is the LAST DAY here in Ohio that you can both register to vote and VOTE right on the same trip to the local Board of Elections (*cough* Buehler).
Ramping up for Tuesday, which is the 2nd of 3 Presidential debates. Should prove interesting, especially in the light of the fact that McCain has decided to go all out negative with his campaign from here on out. :P
4 comments:
Ugh. Please don't get me started on the register and vote the same day crap.ReplyDelete
If you've I never voted before and haven't put enough thought into the election this year to register ahead of time why the hell should you be allowed to register and then vote the same day? Meh. I don't get it. It's just another way for people to go out and find thoughtless sheep that they can talk into voting whichever way they want them to. And apparently It's Happening.
Early voting is a great idea that the republicans had after 2004 and and wrote up and signed into law and now Republican judges are supporting 100%.ReplyDelete
Yay! Go Republicans!
I have no problem with early voting. It's the whole voting the same day you register crap. You missed my point. Weiner.ReplyDelete
Well I guess I don't 'have no problem' with it. I think it's kinda weird to be able to vote 30 days early. But it's not a huge deal. I take issue with the ability to go up to someone that doesn't care at all about this election, talk them into voting for your candidate, then helping them go register and vote the same day. I have a BIG problem with that.ReplyDelete

24 hours in Athens: What to See Before You Hit the Greek Islands!
Athens is the gateway for getting to the Greek Islands. Here's a quick guide for just over 24 hours in Historic Athens!
Arrive and Check into your hotel- I highly recommend arranging a pickup from the airport to your hotel. It makes it so much easier to just look for your name! Plus if you get a great guy like we did, they'll tell you all about Athens, Greek culture and foods to try! This enhanced the excitement we were already feeling when we arrived!
Athens is quite large! I had no idea it was so big! We chose to stay at The Herodian Hotel and it was solid! Centrally located, comfortable, and clean. Breakfast was also included and there is a rooftop restaurant! We wandered up there, but wanted to check out the Plaka for dinner! I think it's one of the better hotel locations too, so I highly recommend it! We were about a 10 minute walk from the Acropolis!
Here is a site for the history and significance of the Acropolis
Climb Philopappos Hill: From here you get a great view of the Acropolis, and best part is it's free!
Have lunch on Adrianou Street There are lots of places to check out, I recommend finding a gyro stand so you can order one and keep exploring!
Explore the Acropolis The Greek root acro- means "high;" thus, an acropolis is essentially a "high city". When we first came over this area around noon and it was packed! So we had lunch, took a short nap and then came back in the late afternoon (around 4/4:30) and it was much less crowded! We didn't have to wait in a huge line, so I highly recommend going in the early morning or late in the day! Approximately 20 Euros each, but this is a must do for sure!
Explore the Plaka for dinner and shopping! The Plaka was definitely the coolest part of the city to me! We walked around for awhile and found a great little place, Tabepna, to have dinner where we enjoyed our first tastes of some classic Greek starters! There's tons of shopping here and plenty options for some tasty gelato!
Next day:
Walk to the The Temple of Zeus -we walked to the ruins, but decided not to pay the $ to go in!
Lunch at the Plaka
Head to the Airport or Port for your next destination!
How much time should you spend in Athens?
Athens is great if you want a night to recover from your jet lag and try to get back on schedule. I personally can't imagine staying more than one night. I'll be honest though, historic ruins don't get me fired up! For history lovers, you would want definitely want to stay longer, maybe 2-3 nights! If you're like me and mostly interested in the islands, 24 hours or 1 night is plenty of time! The next time we go to Greece I would probably skip Athens altogether and just go straight to the islands, however, I'm glad we got the chance to see it and explore the this city!
What I would have done differently: My only regret was that we didn't book a walking tour of Athens. I think if we had, we might have enjoyed it more getting a more historical background. I recommend doing one and it will also help you fight the jet lag while you're walking!
Have you been to Athens?! Is it on your list? Are you a history buff?
Happy Exploring!

Beware, diabetes cause police brutality.
Watch his video. Now here is the full story behind this scene.
Adam Green started going into a diabetic shock while driving. Police pull him over. He is first ordered to stay in the car but also ordered to get out the car. A Highway Patrol gang member approaches the car with his gun already drawn. The gang member kicks the car window and four of his fellow gang members pull the unresponsive man from the car. He is unresponsive because he is in a diabetic shock.
They pile on the man and begin kicking and beating him while yelling "Stop resisting." Trust me, these thugs will always yell "Stop resisting" because they routinely lie that people are resisting arrest, as an excuse for their thuggery. But Mr. Green was unable to resist. Watch these thugs get their jollies kicking a man who can't move. One kicks him in the ribs. Another criminal in blue kicks him in the face.
You will see them searching through his pockets when one of the officers says, "He's got insulin." You hear one of the mentioning medical and saying the man is semi-conscious. The officer is very concerned if any of the officers, who beat the unresponsive man, were hurt. The officer says: "Let's get medical out here. He's a diabetic. Probably in a shock, semi-conscious." Don't you think this thugs should have tried to determine this BEFORE they beat the shit out of a sick man who did not "resist" and had didn't act violent? Then after they got the adrenalin kicks they laugh about it and the lead thug says, "I could have probably taken him by myself."
Between the city of Henderson, NV, who thugs in blue were involved, and the Highway Patrol, Green was paid almost $300,000 in compensation for the assault on him for the crime of diabetic shock. According to the successful lawsuit one of the officers told Green they were sorry for beating him up. Greene sufferece from bruises, abrasions and broken ribs inflicted by violent police officers to a man who had done nothing more than go into diabetic shock, as the video proves.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal notes that in 2008, Dr. Ryan Rich was diagnosed with a seizure disorder and was on medication for it when he crashed. Police pulled him from his car and saw he was confused and disoriented, a result of the medicine or of a seizure. They used their Taser on him five times and killed him. Count officials said the police attack on Dr. Ryan was justified.
But the adrenalin high that violent police officers work for is clear in the voices at the end. You hear the exhilaration and joy from a gang attack on a semi-conscious diabetic. There is is relief, laughter and pleasure.
As far as anyone can tell all of the violent offenders in blue remain with the police department and none of them suffered any penalties for their violent assault on a sick man. That is typical of how police are treated—they are the only criminal gang that is above the law—they know it, and they act like they know it. Beware, that being in close proximity to a police officer is dangerous to your well being.

= SOLD = Marble Side Table by Cedric Hartman
Marble Side Table by Cedric Hartman.
23 in.H
58 cmH
19 in. (48 cm)
Cedric Hartman (1929-Present)
Hartman was born in Lincoln in 1929. His father, Cecil "Sed" Hartman, was a standout running back for Nebraska in the early 1920s. He went on to become coach and athletic director at the former Omaha University before serving in World War II. After the war, he started a new career in Omaha in construction and real estate.
By the late 1940s, the younger Hartman was just starting to pick up work as an architect when he was called away to serve in the Army during the Korean War. In a roundabout way, the experience took him to Chicago. Hartman soaked up the art, design and architectural inspirations of the city. He also spent time in Paris, studying at the Sorbonne, and later moved to New York, before an illness in his family brought him back to Omaha.
Hartman recognized the need for unimposing ambient light. At night, it serves its purpose. During the day, you appreciate it only if you notice it.
"Like a beautiful watch on a wrist," he said.
He started designing his first lamps in the early 1960s. By decade's end, two of them made it into the MoMA collection in New York. A series of lamps, fixtures, sofas and tables have followed in the decades since, serving an exclusive clientele of architects, designers and shopkeepers kept abreast of his output.
Hartman has long resisted attention in Omaha — almost all of his business comes from elsewhere — but his mark on the city is significant.
It's a commonly told story that in the early 1960s Hartman put the idea for a bohemian district of shops, galleries and restaurants in the head of Sam Mercer, whose family company owned some warehouses in what became the Old Market area. Hartman brought his own design aesthetic to some of those early businesses, most notably the French Cafe. He also co-owned a shop called The Afternoon, a distant forebear to the current store in Midtown Crossing, that specialized in high-dollar design items. The store eventually sold to new owners — "We were long on taste and short on business acumen," Hartman said — but it had its influence. Credit, By Casey Logan / / World-Herald staff write

The human body is a sensitive thing. Designed to reject foreign bodies, fight antibodies and constantly in flux, we are limited in what we can safely place in contact with sensitive tissues.
Your denture is worn for hours every day. It's a challenging environment of stress, pressure and micro-organism activity; your new Valplast appliance is up for the challenge.
Developed in the 1950s, Valplast is a biocompatible nylon and thermoplastic resin that provides a unique combination of flexibility and stability just right for replacing teeth.
Valplast's flexibility makes it feel more natural in the mouth and its durability means you will be able to wear the appliance for years. The lifetime warranty applies to the material itself; however, you still need to treat it with care as the teeth may become damaged if dropped.
The material is carefully tracked from manufacturer to approved technician. Denture Haus are proud to be a part of that chain and by offering you the lifetime warranty and sachet of Val-Clean, you can rest easy knowing you are getting exactly what you paid for.
Valplast, while small, strong and comfortable, is not suitable for all cases. We'll happily explain why when you come and visit us.
You need to register your appliance for your lifetime warranty.
You will need;
1. The unique serial number that came on your warranty card.
2. The Lab ID number.
3. The material lot number.
Please contact us if you need any of the above information.
Our flexible dentures aren't our only claim to fame at Denture Haus. We also provide a range of full and partial dentures and offer same day repairs. We also complete professional mouthguard fitting and production. Come and visit us for your flexible dentures or denture repairs in Fortitude Valley, servicing Chermside and across the rest of Brisbane. Call us up for an appointment today!

Skipped behind my bookcase lies a collection of diaries and notebooks I have curated over the years. They serve no purpose. A decade's worth of illiterate jottings, betting plans, groceries, to-do-lists and scored out lines. With inspired quotes squashed in the margins justifying their existence, I keep filling out notebooks and skipping them alongside their older colleagues. A scrapheap of memories no one will ever read.
German artist Dieter Roth (1930-1998) undergoes a similar process but unlike me his diaries are being exhibited at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh. Documenting his life through the medium of art, sculpture and writings, Roth's dystopian centrepiece Solo Scenes is a CCTV installation that recorded his final year on earth.
Commanding squeamish levels of attention, the 128 video tapes show Roth brushing his teeth, sleeping and painting alone like a melancholy tramp. By filming the sheer banality of his everyday existence, Roth has revealed the seemingly innate human desire to turn everything into a routine. These homely reminders of grocery lists, gifts to buy, domestic chores to be completed and a bubbled note commanding you to pay the gas bill by the fifteenth.
Likewise my old notebooks remain firmly in place behind the bookshelf and I consistently refuse to bin any of them. In some respects they are physical reminders of my narcissistic desire to be exhibited just like Dieter Roth. That my life actually meant something. But if I am lucky they'll eventually be boxed and kept upstairs in an oak wooden loft.
Maybe they'll be sparingly reopened for an old quote or a nostalgic rummage through the past. Only to be put back in their place again, a written bond with a young man that no longer exists. Where just like my childhood toys locked away in my family home, these notebooks will keep on ageing, and eventually become Grandad's possessions. And then over the passages of time they will find themselves skipped. Quality control. A lifetime of thoughts destined to lie unread on a skip.
I'll watch it like a hawk, and every day
I'll make at least – oh – half a dozen trips.
I've furnished an existence in that way.
You'd not believe the things you find on skips.
Dieter Roth Diaries will be running at the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh until October 27th.

Welcome! Download (MatrixRPG_v1-01) the final version of the Unofficial Matrix RPG here. I am putting this up for free. Since you are getting the PDF for free, all I ask in return is that you please let me know how I can improve on things. I would also love to hear about what you love and would like to see more of. Either comments would be appreciated. Thanks for your interest in my creation! Enjoy the game! -Tre'
(image "Naimane on DevianArt")
This is the Official website for "The Unofficial Matrix RPG". Here you will find the most current rules and information about the game. I am currently playtesting the game. If you are interested in helping playtest the Matrix RPG contact me.
I am currently using a free online virtual tabletop application called Roll20 (www.Roll20.net). This is an app you use in a Google+ Hangout.
The Unofficial Matrix RPG is a storyteller based game. What does that mean? As a game designer I want players to use less dice and more roleplay. In the Matrix everything is possible with some imagination.
The Unofficial Matrix RPG was birthed from watching the first Matrix movie with Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, and Carrie Moss. I will never forget sitting in the theatre watching Neo load up his RSI Hacker with weapons, or when he learned Kung Fu from Morpheus. All these images burned in my mind, replaying over and over mixing with other ideas. I was also inspired by the likes of Neal Stephenson's (www.nealstephenson.com/) book "Snow Crash", Shadowrun (www.shadowrun4.com/), Cyberpunk RPG by Steve Jackson (www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/cyberpunk/), Steampunk, and William Gibson (www.williamgibsonbooks.com/source/source.asp). I put the unfinished game away for 10 years and now you have the half baked version I am releasing now.

I've been busy planning my cross-country motorcycle roadtrip this summer and I have a pretty general idea of what it's going to look like, though I will post more about it in time, here is a map of the general route I am taking, leaving Yakima on the 6th of June:
I am looking to make connections all across this great country of ours and I know that I have friends in low places, so If you plan on being around that little line in June get in touch with me and let's make some magic happen. I am doing a new photo project based around this trip and want to collaborate with as many creative folks as possible. Whether you ride bikes, paint, dance, or know of beautiful places in the woods to make pretend in please let me know because I want to meet you and maybe sleep on your couch!!! I will be sending this around, but if you or anyone you know is interested shoot me a message at email@example.com

The agency won a pitch to handle the second round of property sales for the developers, a Malaysian consortium of investors operating as the Battersea Power Station Development Company.
News of the project brief comes after it recently emerged that this round would only be marketed in London, with Mission handed responsibility for the publicity drive.
The 254 flats will go on sale in May, and are part of a total 3,500 homes to be built, with some penthouses expected to fetch up to £30m.
This round follows the first phase of flats snapped up at the start of last year, with the first homes of the £8bn development planned for completion by 2016.
In recent reports CEO of Battersea Power Station Development Company Rob Tincknell said: "There has been a lot of comment recently about London's housing problems and we believe the only way to try to solve this is to build great homes and create a community that people actually want to live in."
Battersea Power Station Development Company confirmed its work with retained corporate agency Brunswick has not been affected.

DoubleDutch has raised $10 million to help event organizers go mobile.
The company claims to have created the first-ever social event app. Event organizers use its white-labeled technology to give participants access to an event's schedule and allow them to create their own agenda. Organizers can embed surveys and polls into the app, facilitate networking, take advantage of sponsorships, and identify sales leads.
People are constantly on their phones at conferences and trade shows, and DoubleDutch helps event owners take advantage of this opportunity.
Experiences that were traditionally offline, like checking schedules, sharing contact information, or asking for feedback, are made digital. This not only adds convenience, but also amps up participant engagement. Attendees can comment on what's going on, push posts to their social networks, and connect with other people there.
DoubleDutch captures all this data so event organizers can have a better sense of how things are going. It also makes it easy to update content and integrate information with CRMs, CMS, and social media, etc.
Nearly 500,000 event participants use the product, and the company said it is seeing 40 percent quarter-over-quarter growth. Customers include major organizations like SAP, American Express, Box, Cisco, Estée Lauder, the American Heart Association, and Regal Entertainment Group.
This financing will support DoubleDutch's international expansion, help it grow its line of "data-driven products for exhibitors and organizers," and help transition the business fully to a software-as-a-service model. When it launched in 2011, it focused on improving worker productivity and enabling better collaboration through paid apps. It is now focusing primarily on event organization.
Bessemer Venture Partners led this round, with participation from existing investors Floodgate, Bullpen Capital and others. It brings the total capital raised to $18.5 million.
DoubleDutch is based in San Francisco and has 60 employees,

General Counsel
Why Retain Outside General Counsel?
Businesses from startup to very large privately-held companies most often elect not to have in-house counsel due to cost, the challenges of managing legal matters in-house and the fact that most companies discover: since in-house counsel does not have all of the expertise needed for the business, they still need to use outside counsel for many legal matters. Yet, the need for a single source comprehensive legal advice and oversight is critical to the success of many businesses.
Kupfer & Associates has the breadth of knowledge required so that our clients rely on us as their "outside general counsel". We provide them the peace of mind that comes with knowing that all aspects of their business are taken into account with the review of each matter or transaction.
The importance of retained general counsel
Consider this example. Kupfer & Associates represented a client that was being threatened with litigation from a founding shareholder. Examination of the facts clearly indicated that they were in a strong position and were justified in all actions that had been taken. A litigator would likely review this case and properly advise fighting the case, being quite certain the client would prevail in any court action.
However, serving as outside general counsel we knew the client's overall business objectives included growing the company and raising funds from outside investors. So we posed this question: "Is it worth putting your growth plans on hold to fight this action? Because revealing that you are in a dispute with a founding shareholder will severely hamper your ability to raise funds for several years until this gets resolved. Have you considered resolving the matter with an offer, even leaving money on the table that is rightly yours, in favor of pursuing the larger vision for your company?"
Ultimately the decision is always in the hands of the client. But, without the benefit of being involved in this client's overall business, that question likely would never have been raised by a hired litigator who was simply asked to handle the dispute in a vacuum.
Whether your plans involve long term growth or a planned exit strategy, we invite you to contact our attorneys to learn more about how Kupfer & Associates can support your business strategies to accomplish your objectives.

Tom Telesco is known for his eye for talent.
The new San Diego Chargers' general manager did not showcase that ability much during free agency as the Chargers added several low-profile players because of salary-cap concerns. The Chargers got some nice pieces, but there were not any big splashes.
San Diego splashed like the Pacific Ocean on Friday night. After the Chargers traded up to take Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o in the second round, they then drafted dynamic Cal receiver Keenan Allen in the third.
Allen was considered a major steal. He had an injury last year and a slow performance at the combine. But he was productive and most teams rated him highly.
The Chargers took Alabama right tackle D.J. Fluker in the first round. After the Allen choice, ESPN analyst Todd McShay said Telesco scored three first-round talents with his first three choices.
Fellow ESPN analyst Bill Polian was Telesco's boss in Indianapolis. He said they studied Allen closely and Polian said he and Telesco thought Allen can be a Reggie Wayne-type receiver.
Allen is a major gift to San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers. The Chargers badly need skill-position weapons. The receiving crew was lacking since the 2012 departure Vincent Jackson in free agency.
Now with Allen, Vincent Brown and Danario Alexander, the Chargers have three potential standouts along with the solid Malcom Floyd.
I truly expect Allen to make an impact as a rookie. I think this pick will be remembered as the start of something nice for Telesco's tenure.

Kiva makes small orange robots that are deployed within shipping and fulfillment centers to boost productivity and offer a "complete order fulfillment solution" that does a handful of tasks. These little brightly colored fellows are already in use by two of Amazon's other websites, Zappos.com and Diapers.com.
Source: KIVASystems.com.
They complement humans by bringing shelves loaded with products directly to workers, while using a laser pointer to help direct the worker to which product needs to be picked out and packed into an order. Kiva estimates that it can boost productivity by as much as three to four times.
This is the second-largest acquisition that Amazon has made, topped only by the Zappos.com deal in 2009 for nearly $900 million. Also high on that list was the roughly $545 million deal to acquire Quidsi, which brought Diapers.com and Soap.com into Amazon's fold.
On top of that, Amazon has confirmed that it's not planning on hogging these machines for itself. It will continue selling the technology to other retailers. Gap
This is what I like to see as an Amazon shareholder: aggressively investing in future growth by beefing up infrastructure. Short-sighted investors have been disappointed with Amazon's falling bottom line, but its growing top line encourages me.
On the digital side, it continues to beef up its Google
All signs are pointing to a bright future with Amazon.

June 9, 2016 – There will be a traffic configuration change on KY 841 (Gene Snyder Freeway) on the night of Wednesday, June 15. Traffic will continue to utilize all ramps and roadways under the shift. SB 841 was reduced to one lane northbound and one lane southbound from the I-71 interchange to U.S. 42 in October 2013. This arrangement will likely continue through the duration of the East End Crossing project.

If you need to track your auto mileage, you need AutoMile for the Mac/
AutoMile (http://briantoth.com/automile) for Mac OS X (10.9 or higher) is a solid alternative to other mileage tracking apps that require recording your car's odometer reading. It's built for quick data entry using drag 'n drop and conveniently supports keyboard shortcuts.
With the app, you simply record where you go, and it does the rest. AutoMile looks up the distance traveled between stops and keeping a running total of the miles you've traveled. You can also do your recording whenever you like — for instance, at the end of the day or the end of the week.
With AutoMile, you can import your locations from Address Book, Outlook, or vCard and export reports to a CSV formatted file for Excel or Numbers. Those reports include monthly and annual totals. The software will use kilometers if your Mac is set to use metric units.
A demo is available for download, there are no time limits. However, the trial copy only supports a limited number of days and locations. You can buy AutoMile for $29.99 at the Mac App Store.

Dear Parents,
This week we began a two-part session on Esther and how God used her to save His people. Esther was a young Jewish girl whom King Ahasuerus had chosen to be his queen. The former queen had defied the king and was promptly replaced. Esther did not reveal to the king that she was a Jew.
(3 minutes) READ Esther 1-4
Esther had been an orphan, so her cousin Mordecai adopted her. Mordecai kept in touch with Esther while she lived in the palace. One day, the king gave Haman the Agagite a very important position in the kingdom. The king even commanded the people to bow down to Haman. But Mordecai refused. Haman was angry about Mordecai's defiance, but instead of just punishing Mordecai, he planned to kill all the Jews in the kingdom.
Mordecai turned to Esther for help. After all, she was in a position of power, and the Jews were her people. The stakes were high. Esther could be killed for approaching the king without permission. But Esther was willing to take the chance and explain her people's plight.
God's plan all along was to send the Messiah through Abraham's family. Haman's evil plan might have stopped God's plan, but God was in control. He was working out a plan to use Esther to rescue His people and make the way for His Son, Jesus, to come into the world.
Help your kids understand that the survival of God's people was essential to God's plan and that Satan tried to stop God's plan any way he could. But God used Esther to rescue His people and make the way for His Son, Jesus, to come into the world.
(1 minute) REVIEW one of these doctrine memory questions, or the month's memory verse by having your kids repeat it after you.
Gospel Project Big Picture Question: Does God keep His promises? Yes, God is always faithful even when we are not.
Memory Verse: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
(1 minute) PRAY and thank God for rescuing his people
Additional resources can be found in the Gospel Project for Kids app under Unit 18 - Session 1.

Before joining Relentless Boot Camp, I was at a point in my life when I profoundly needed to replenish myself: emotionally, physically and mentally.My energy levels were low and inconsistent. Utter neglect of my body was taking a toll on other aspects of my performance, but I didn't realize the degree at the time.
Six months after joining boot camp, I'm at the best point in my entire life: physically, psychologically and spiritually. The holistic approach of working my body as an integrated part of my mind and psyche has been very successful. Beyond just working out, I've drunk the "Paleo/Zone Kool-Aid" and noticed vast improvements in just 2 weeks. I have zero desire for "cheat days" because having changed the way I fuel myself makes me feel so much better.
I've never been a physical competitor before, and I'm accustoming myself to pushing through even when I think I'm exhausted and to exert myself faster/stronger when I feel like I'm at a limit. My mental image is a wall with a sealed gate that I'm muscling open and running through.
I am vastly stronger across every dimension in my life. I wake up (ridiculously early) energized and ready. I look forward to each Relentless workout and I'm very intentional about how my other activities contribute to my overall health.
I have lost 7 inches off my waist, 30 lbs, and I'm currently at 11.6% body fat
