13 Accounting Periods vs. Monthly Accounting
Macro Management Services uses 13 four-week periods to divide up a calendar year for accounting purposes. Occasionally, a client or prospective client asks why.
Consider the pattern of activity in a restaurant: generally, the weekends are the busiest sales days … and inventory is usually lowest on Sunday night (Monday morning). Inventory is counted weekly, typically on Mondays, and payroll often occurs bi-weekly.
In a 13-period system, each period is exactly four weeks long, except in random years when the last period of the year will have 5 weeks.* In a 13-period year, holidays fall into the same week of the same period every year. With a monthly accounting system, your period can end any day of the week, and holidays can fall into different weeks in the same month of different years.
What does this mean for you?
- Better comparability for your numbers – every P&L will reflect the sales and expenses of four Mondays, four Tuesdays, four Wednesdays, etc.
- Trend spotting – since every period has the same number of weekdays and weekends, you can compare apples to apples from year to year.
- Easier inventory – the four-week cycle eliminates the problem of having a month end on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday and having to take inventory after a busy night when stock may be at its highest.
- Even pay cycles – eliminate the problem of having 3 pay periods in a month when your pay period is bi-weekly! Every P&L will reflect 28 days of actual sales and 28 days of actual payroll. Payroll is easier to account for and will be more accurately reflected in your financial statement.
If you have questions about 13-period accounting, call us, (210) 226-1047.
* The most recent years to have a 5-week period were 2006 and 2017. The next one will occur in 2023.

Today, changes to the immigration rules were laid before parliament. They introduce appendix EU, which governs the rights of EU nationals in the UK on or before the end of the transition period. This means that both settled and pre-settled status are now law, deal or no deal.
This should reassure all those people who have been wondering what would happen to the forthcoming Settled Status scheme in the event of the UK failing to strike a deal with the EU.
The government has also announced a pilot scheme to test the new application system. It will launch the test phase on 28 August in three Liverpool universities and 12 NHS trusts in the north-west of the country.
The 12 NHS trusts taking part in the trial are: Aintree University hospital; Blackpool teaching hospital; Countess of Chester hospital; East Lancashire hospitals; Lancashire teaching hospitals; Liverpool heart and chest hospitals; Liverpool women's hospital; Southport and Ormskirk hospital; the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University hospitals; the Walton centre; Warrington and Halton hospitals; and the Wirral University teaching hospital.
The three universities taking part are the Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Liverpool.


text: same point as they be in now, when the king went into Flanders, then had they done well; but they had no mind so to do, they rather prayed to God that we should never return again.' The which words divers that were there helped well forward to the intent to grieve the Parisians, saying , If the king be well counselled, he shall not adventure himself to come among such people as cometh against him with an army arranged in battle. They should rather have come humbly with procession and have rung all the bells in Paris in thanking God of the victory that the king had in Flanders.' Thus the lords were abashed how they should maintain themselves. Finally it was appointed that the constable of France, the lord d'Albret, the lord of Coucy, sir Guy of Tremouille and sir John of Vienne should go and speak with them and demand of them the cause why they be issued out of Paris in so great a number armed in order of battle against the king ; the which thing was never seen before in France: and upon their answer the lords said the king should take advice:' they were wise enough to order as great a matter as that was and greater. So these said lords departed from the king without harness, and for the more surety of their business they took with them three or four heralds and sent them somewhat before to the Parisians, and said: ` Sirs, go ye on before to yonder people of Paris, and demand of them a safe-conduct for us to go and come, till we have spoken with them from the king.' These heralds departed and rode a great pace and came to these people ; and when the Parisians saw them coming, they thought full little they had come to have spoken with them, they thought they had but ridden to Paris as other did. The heralds had on their coat armours, and when they approached near to the Parisians, they said on high: `Where be the masters? Where be the rulers? Which of you be captains? We be come to you sent from the lords.' Then some of them of Paris perceived well by these words that they had not done well: they cast down their heads and said `Here be no masters: we are all of one accord and at the king's commandment and the lords'. Therefore, sirs, say in God's 1 `These lords were counselled to reply and speak.' name what ye will to us.' ` Sirs,' quoth the heralds, `the lords that sent us hither,' and named them, `they know not what ye think or intend : they require you that they may peaceably without peril come and speak with you, and return again to the king and shew him the answer that ye make to them: otherwise they dare not come to you.' ` By our faiths, sirs,' quoth they, `they ought to say no such words to us but of their gentleness:' we think ye do but mock us.' `Surely, sirs,' quoth the heralds, `we speak it in good certainty.' ' Then,' quoth the Parisians, `go your way and say to them that they may come at their pleasure to us without danger or peril; for they shall have no hurt for none of us, for we are all ready to fulfil their commandments.' Then the heralds returned to the lords and shewed them as ye have heard. Then the four lords rode forth and their company, and came to the Parisians, whom they found in good array and order of battle, and there were more than twenty thousand malles. And as the lords passed by them and beheld them well, within themselves they praised much their manner ; and also as they passed by, ever the Parisians inclined themselves to them. And when these lords were as in the midst among them, then they rested and stood still, and the constable spake a-high and said : ' Ye people of Paris, what bath moved you to issue out of the city in this order of battle? It seemeth ye will fight against the king our sovereign lord, whose subjects ye be or should be.' ` Sir,' quoth they, `save your grace, we were never of will to do anything against the king ; but, sir, we be issued out for none other cause but to shew the king what puissance the Parisians be of. The king is but young, he never as yet saw it ; and without he see it he cannot know it, nor how he may be served, if need be.' ` Sirs,' quoth the consta

Getting your home ready to Sell!
Getting your home ready to sell can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. However, you need to look at your home from the perspective of a potential buyer.
Here are some tips that can help you on getting your home ready for sell boosting its curb appeal:
- Add color to you landscape by either replacing flower beds or potted flowers, along with fresh sod.
- Replace light fixtures and plumbing fixtures that will give your home a modern touch for a minimal investment.
- Remove window treatments, unless they are current and high-end. That cuts the risk of turning off would-be buyers who don't share your taste, and uncovered windows that will let more light into the rooms.
- If you're using your dining or a bedroom as an office for example, turn it back to their original use.
- Replace dirty or worn carpet, you're better off removing the carpet if there are hardwood floors underneath.
- Uncluttered your house by packing away items that you will not use on an every day basis is a must. You want the new family to envision themselves living in the home.
- A deep cleaning before you put your home on the market is a must, so everything shines.
- Repaint all rooms in neutral colors. A fresh coat of paint also makes the house look newer and more modern.
Focus on low cost improvements! This will enhance your house's curb appeal, and get your house ready to Sell!
Ready, Set, GO!
Don't obsess with trying to time the market and figure out when is the best time to buy.
Trying to anticipate the housing market is impossible.
The best time to buy is when you find your perfect house and you can afford it. Real estate is cyclical, it goes up and it goes down and it goes back up again.
So, if you try to wait for the perfect time, you're probably going to miss it out!
Approved! Credit Availability increased in April!
An increase in credit access was reported in April according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's Credit Availability Index (MCAI).
The Index increased 0.5 percent month-over-month to 122.0 in April. The increase was driven by new offerings of FHA's 203K home improvement program, new VA offerings, and new jumbo products.
The MCAI and its four components are designed to show relative credit risk/availability based on information about borrower eligibility and underwriting criteria gathered for over 95 lenders and investors and combined with data from Ellie Mae's All Regs Market Clarity product.
Real Estate? Yes, it is for Real!
Spring' season gains are good news for Housing Market. New home sales spiked by nearly 20 percent year-over-year in March up to about 481,000, according to a report from HUD and the U.S. Census Bureau. It was the highest level the market has experienced since 2008.
Existing home sales also jumped in March, by 6.1 percent, the largest monthly increase since December 2010, according to the National Association of Realtors.
The NAR Pending Homes Sales Index increased by 11.1 percent year-over-year in March and has been gaining momentum hitting into its highest level in nearly two years.

Buddha's Flower - 4 My Sister
Title appropriately borrowed from song by Ottmar Liebert
So on day two in Holland, I met up with my fanmenco sis Kym. We trekked by train and bus to get to Keukenhof where this photo was taken by some Asian sisters who asked that we take their photo for them. I wonder where they were from? Our boots were made for walking and after Keukenhof we hopped a train and spent the afternoon in Utrecht.
Needless to say my trip had come full circle in that meeting up with Kym was the intent of my return to Europe. Kym and I go way back and Ottmar Liebert is the reason we became friends back in 2004 and we met up in Seattle in Spring 2006 for an Ottmar Liebert concert. She's been to Houston twice and so I promised a trip to Holland as I had been looking for a reason to return to Europe. Last summer a co-worker and I began talking about traveling to Europe in summer 2015 but summer is peak travel season and thus Spring become the next option. Also, our travel group quickly grew to five--the more the merrier! Originally, I only wanted to travel through Holland and Germany for a ten day trip but we got such a bargain money wise for our trip and all the planning beforehand came to fruition in our seven days of travel. I convinced Kym to join us in traveling to Cologne, Germany and six of us gals laughing, drinking and sightseeing not to mention partaking in the wonderful food was such a blast. Blessed to have such great friends/sisters near and far and thankful such wonderful memories from our trip.

Netherlands - Dan Fogelberg
I was totally obsessed with Dan Fogelberg way back when! He was just so dreamy with his poetic music and such a talent! I didn't know that the album title is a play on Nederland, Colorado, the location of one of the studios used to record the album. Nederland is the Dutchname for the country known in English as the Netherlands. Seems like everything is coming up Netherlands these days! ;-)

Transcendental Reunion
from twenty thousand feet high, I saw the lights below me twinkling just like Christmas.
We descended slowly and the curve of the world passed
with all of that flying above a mighty ocean and now we all are arriving.
Grab the carry on baggage and join the herd for the mad line
to take our place-but where does everyone come from?
Now I'm stamped and waived through and say my prayers and sing a hymn to the faithful...
Finally, the tears and embracing that leap over hemispheres
toward that transcendental reunion where all borders vanish,
we are all travelers traveling, we are gypsies together, we are going and coming
and we are just finding our way to our next destination from night into day.
In giant birds belly, I flew over the ocean and from twenty thousand feet high
and how the lights were glowing toward that transcendental reunion.
The last weekend of March ended with a bang as on Friday, I traveled to Galveston with a friend to see one of my favorite performers- the incomparable Mary Chapin Carpenter perform at the beautiful Opera house. She sang this song (video linked above) which she wrote when she was traveling to Europe. The past few years or so, I've been wanting to return to Europe and visit a dear friend and finally all that planning came to fruition on Monday, 3/30/15. Thus, in a giant bird's belly, (KLM 747) I returned to Europe some 30+ years later and landed in Amsterdam just after 6:30 a.m. (Holland time) and 11:30 p.m. Houston time. I was a traveler once again travelling to a far away country with four girlfriends and the adventure began!

Windows Packet Filter Kit 3.2.6 released:
- Added special reserved pool for packets handled in kernel mode (these are packets which are not supposed to be redirected to user mode application for further processing: passed/blocked according loaded filters and collected from non-tunneled network interfaces). This feature seriously improves remote debugging capabilities for WinpkFilter based applications. An example, if you debug over RDP and your application load static filters to pass RDP connections prior putting network interface into the tunnel mode then you can safely put breakpoints in the packet processing thread, suspend it, analyze individual packets without a risk to be disconnected.
- Fixed Visual Studio 2015 compiler errors when building WinpkFilter NDIS 6.x Lightweight Filter drivers

How to be Smarter: If you don't know how to use chopsticks, learn before you go to an Asian restaurant. But it is okay to discreetly ask the waiter for a fork if you don't have time to brush up beforehand.
How to be Prettier: For a soft lip, put your regular face concealer on your lips, then layer on a shiny lip gloss a few shades darker than your real lip color.
How to be (less) Awkward: No asking a woman if she is pregnant. Ever. If someone is pregnant and wants to share the good news, they will tell you. And if they are not pregnant, and you ask, no one wins.

My journey began with a sense of disquiet in my soul. I took one instinctive step after another, and there I was: A minimalist.
I only realised that there was a word for what I was when, yes, I stumbled on a blog about minimalism. It was an, "Ah-ha, so that's what this is!" moment. Totally validating to discover that you're not the only person who thought that shucking off your worldly possessions is the most liberating act in the universe.
Still, like most minimalists, my story began somewhere. And that somewhere was a four-letter word: Debt.
More than a decade ago, I had a RM12,000 credit card debt. When I added that amount to my car debt, it became an amazing RM25,000. When I added that amount to my house loan, well, my brain exploded.
One day, I just snapped. I was tired of this weight on my psyche, this fear that if lost my job, I'd be f***ed, this struggle of living paycheck to paycheck. I want it all gone.
I worked double time to do get rid of the debt and refused to listen to popular financial advice. (For example, people said it was a bad financial move to get rid of my car loan fast because of the low interest rates).
How I did this is a subject for another post, but after a year, I managed to get rid of that icky RM25,000 debt.
All that money that would've gone to minimal credit card payments now went to my savings account.
It felt like I could breathe again.
By then I had changed.
Stuff, I realised, got me into debt. Stuff that I didn't use.
I felt that keenly when I had to move to Australia. Emptying my 1,000sq feet apartment turned out to be an arduous, insanely difficult process.
I had nearly 2,000 books, possibly 1,000 DVDs. The tragic thing about it all is that I have not read nor watched 50% of that collection.
I got into debt for this?
Fortunately, a church was looking for someone to donate things for a charity sale. My library went to them.
After that I was allergic to stuff. That switch in my head that said, "let's shop for fun" was flipped off.
I realised then that I had been using stuff to feel happy, but stuff didn't make me happy. It cluttered up my life, making it hard to move easily. I couldn't just pick up and move to another state if I wanted to - I had all my stuff to think about.
As the years went by, I refined my approach to minimalism. I'm now a KonMari devotee, and why not - she makes my life so much easier!
I'm still a work in progress, but I've come so far from where I was ten years ago.
I no longer live paycheck to paycheck, for one, and that massive, six-figure house loan debt?
My friend once asked me how in the world I got so much things done.
Besides having an organising system that you can take to like a duck to water, minimalism was also a factor.
With minimalism, the world is now full of possibilities. The space taken up by stuff before I now spend on my interests, passion and on self-actualisation.
All that white, neutral empty space formerly cluttered up by knick knacks and trophies allow me to go into a calm state that allows me to think deeply about my life and about where I want to go.
That's why I'm a minimalist. It makes me happy.

This morning's recipe is part tea and part cocoa. It has the wake-me-up of caffeine from the Yerba Mate, but some other delicious flavors that encourage decadent sipping. I can tell you from experience that this is the perfect cup of tea to have with a warm piece of coffee cake or a toasted bagel!
This recipe also makes a nice base for an after-dinner beverage, if you can handle a little caffeination in the evenings. Add a nip of vodka and oh, what a delicious cocktail!
Grown-Up Cocoa Mate Tea Blend
- 1 Tablespoon organic Yerba Mate
- 1 teaspoon organic roasted Cacao Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon organic Orange Peel
- 1/2 teaspoon organic Spearmint leaf
- 5 organic Cardamom pods, whole
- Optional sweetness: 1/4 teaspoon Stevia, honey or sugar
Combine all the ingredients in a tea infuser, nest or bag and pour 1 1/2 to 2 cups of boiling water over. Allow to steep for 3-4 minutes. I like it just fine without the sweetness, but if you like a sweeter tea, feel free to indulge. This is also a great tea for adding a little milk if you desire. Enjoy!

Post-Partum Depression Support Videos for Parents
The Pacific Post Partum Support Society (PPPSS) has produced a series of short video interviews with families working through the symptoms of post-partum depression/anxiety (PPD/A). Videos include:
- Allen: You can't fix everything
- Allen discusses how his urge to 'fix' a situation that could not be fixed led to he and his wife feeling emotionally separated from one another.
- Maria & Pablo: Give your partner time to recover
- Maria and Pablo discuss why it is helpful to be patient during recovery from PPD/A
- Mariko's Journey
- Mariko immigrated to Canada from Japan as an adult and married a Canadian. Her journey through depression and anxiety began during pregnancy. She hadn't known about PPD/A and felt she couldn't reach out for help because of stigma surrounding mental health in her home country. Her healing began with help from her husband and PPPSS.
- Allen: What society expects from fathers
- Allen discusses how fathers are under pressure to try to fix difficult situations, rather than care for emotional health.
- Kasimir: Male roles
- Kasimir discusses how it can be hard for many men to ask for help, particularly because society expects them to be responsible for their family.
The videos cover topics around relationships, support, 'what helps', and cultural difference issues.
The Pacific Post Partum Support Society has been supporting mothers and their families experiencing postpartum/perinatal distress, depression and anxiety for over 40 years, having started as a grass roots initiative when a small group of women began meeting in 1971 at the Vancouver Crisis Line office to share their experience and support each other around postpartum issues. Today, their peer-mentoring model reaches out to approximately 3,500 mothers and families each year.

- Feel the burn — tone glutes, hamstrings, and calves with one move.
- Simultaneously open up the hips — increasing flexibility — and strengthen glutes.
- Excellent alternative to the traditional Squat!
How to do Sumo Squats:
Starting Position: Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, feet turned out at 45-degree angles.
Movement: Lower your hips down and back, shifting your weight onto your heels. Lean slightly forward while keeping your chest up and shoulders back. Reach your hands straight out in front of you for balance.
Return: Drive through your heels, fully extending your hips. Squeeze your glutes at the top.
Modification and Progression:
- To simplify Sumo Squats, decrease depth of squat and point your toes forward.
- To advance Sumo Squats, raise your arms — elbows near your ears — for an added core challenge. You can also hold the squat position for 3 seconds. Stand up and repeat.
Movement Tips:
- Lean slightly forward to maintain the weight on your heels.
- Slowly lower yourself down, but explode as your rise back to standing.
- Brace your core to help keep your chest up and shoulders back.
Our live, real-time coaching will motivate you through every rep. So download the app and we'll have you perfecting your Sumo Squats in no time.

Recently I returned for the first time in quite awhile to the leafy area in which I grew up, a place that of course helped formulate who I am today and my general existence.
As you do I took a lengthy walk around old neighbourhoods and previously well-travelled countryside, with my head swimming in nostalgia and foggy memories stirred by the sights and ever-circling train of thought, past events merging and separating into one another like in a non-sequitur dream state. Lubomyr Melnyk soundtracked this experience and it could not have been a better introduction to his stunning work.
The classically-trained Ukrainian composer plays what he calls "continuous music" that he has been developing since the 1970's - a wholly sui generis piano-playing technique producing an immersive, flowing feel amid a very contemporary style. Complex note patterns are played at such a rapid level reaching a mind-blowing 19 notes per second and for a long-period of time, that the resulting sound achieves an almost zen-like quality.
Anyways back to the walk. Sometimes it's a little better to travel than to arrive so the old adage goes and this is true for a bucolic aimless walk - the journey is where it's at, fuck your destination. This is all mirrored in latest album Corollaries that nestled firmly in my headspace - the repetitive, hypnotic note-playing producing a sense that time is but an irrelevance, collapsing deeper into a freefall of trenchant thought. It's tempting to categorise the sound in Max Richter territory as it's evocative of a similar feeling, but does not have the 'blockbuster' payoff that Richter often utilises, whose work tends to build towards something. Here the pilgrimage is enough in itself for Melnyk. Left foot forward. Right foot forward. And again. Once again. Walking without thinking as you ever do, the body using an independent mind of it's own. At times I didn't know if three minutes had passed or 30, and it didn't even matter. A fragment of memory has been captured by 'Nightrail From The Sun' for eternity I'd think due to the unique vernacular of his creation. The only breaks in this cycle occurring upon seeing what used to be a previously tranquil, untouched field haw now transformed into a sterile new-build housing development, snapping the mind into action in an atavistic plunge of brain activity. "It's not a house anymore" Deerhunter once sang, deep in a yearning kind of sentiment. The opposite was true here.
Melnyk produces an introspective euphoria that cuts right through to the soul in an indeterminable fashion, thus it's of no surprise to see the 64 year-old on the wonderful Erased Tapes and fits in comfortably with their avant-garde romanticist ethos - with the album recorded and produced by Peter Broderick plus additional help from Nils Frahm. Why can't all classical music be like this? Do check out his enthralling "kung-fu" approach to the piano (as he states in this video piece for the BBC) in Corollaries if you haven't done so yet; and the man himself is to play a special double-show at The Village Underground on 20th May alongside American contemporary artist Gregory Euclide, who will be "live painting" to Melnyk's music.
Head here for more info and to get your tickets. Buy the LP on CD and/or vinyl from Erased Tapes.

A) Need to get gifts for people that like good things (these things are good)
B) Don't like wrapping presents (we bang a festive bow on them for you)
C) A combination of A and B (self explanatory)
The Christmas Tasting Set contains five different 30cl drams, while the Christmas Festive Selection contains 10 different 30ml drams. This allows you to covertly suggest how good the gift receiver has been this year. Have they been "just good"? Get them the Christmas Tasting Set.

Right, we ought to get back to firing Advent Calendars, Christmas Crackers and Tasting Sets out of a festively-decorated, industrial-sized slingshot.

As a photographer I have photographed some of the most interesting characters in cities such as New York, Baltimore, Washington DC, Rio de Janeiro, Toronto, Los Angeles, and Santiago, Cuba. Friends, family memebers, and strangers who each have had compelling stories of personal struggle and triumph; who's lives have been a testiment to how valuable life is and how each of us fights for it in our own way. I now have the chance to expand my body of work and photograph people in 25 more countries. Places as varied as Salvador da Bahia Brazil, Da Nang Vietnam, Colombo Sri Lanka, Saint Petersburg Russia, Cartagena Colombia, and Istanbul Turkey. Each location with new people and new stories to share about how people lives their lives: what do they do for work? what do they do for spirituality? what do they do for friends, family? What do they do for recreation?
How is this possible?
I have been asked to join Peace Boat's 74th Global Peace Voyage as their Web Reporter. I will be responsible for documenting Peace Boat's floating classroom - where the projects participants will learn about pace, human rights, as well as equal and sustainable development. Peace Boat will dock in 24 countries and while in each port they will meet with NGOs and other groups of people who are working to nurture life in their communities. I will produce 2 - 3 reports a week using photography, video and writing to not only bring these peace building communities to the web but to also document the trip's participants responses to this unique experience.
After Peace Boat I will head to Salvador da Bahia. While in Salvador I will be working with a major Afro-Brazilian cultural association to extend my work - understanding how life is lived outside of the United States. Unilke Peace Boat which covered 24 countries in 4 months, I will be living and working in 1 community, meeting those who live there, learning (and experiencing) their way of life. Because I will be in Salvador for up to 6 months I will be in a position to not only "map" the community I will be living in but to also make connections to how this community fits into Brazil's growing economy and changing political scene.
Both the work I did with Peace Boat and in Salvador will be posted on my website and will also serve for a gallery exhbit in New York city.
Why is this important?
These 2 projects will take ever bit of talent and skill that I have as a photographer, writer, film maker, producer, researcher, listener and coucilor. The project will require me to not only take beautiful photographs but work with the people I encounter to understand their stories, from their perspective, and that highlights their particular challenges and talents in respnding to them. That form of listening, engaging, and grappling with is daunting if I were only going to 1 country but 25? What is exciting and challenging about this project is that it give me a chance to share the innumerable things and ways that individuals value their lives and the lives of others AND at the same time share the connections that emerge between the stories I will be telling.
What makes this project unique?
Contributions of $500 or greater Producer credits for these 2 projects, 2 limited edition, signed fine art prints of my photography, 5 4x5 postcard sized fine art prints
Contributions of $250 Supporter credit for these 2 projects, 1 limited edition, signed fine art prints fo my photography, 5 4x5 postcard sized fine art prints
Contributions of $100 Special Thank for these 2 projects, 5 4x5 postcard sized fine art prints

Moving On by Shannon Hart, author of Until the End of Forever
Part 1
Part 1
I checked my watch for the tenth time and sighed. What is taking her so long? The ice in my peach iced tea had already completely melted and the white coaster with the restaurant's logo below it was dripping wet.
I finally heard the sound of Hannah's Louboutin heels stomping all over the parquet floors as she seemingly hurried back to our table.
"My God, the line in the bathroom was so long, you'd think they were giving out free food or something!" Hannah said, as she sat down in the seat she had left for at least a half an hour.
"Hannah, I really have to go by 2:30. I can't be late for this meeting," I said, probably for the eleventh time since we got to the restaurant.
"Oh lighten up. It's not like they're going to fire you for being late once."
"I'm serious, Hannah. I can't be late for this. This is like the most important meeting in my entire career! If I blow this, I'll never get that promotion and you know how much I want it."
"I know, I know, you said that already. This will be quick, I promise."
She kept saying that, but in the entire hour we were there, she never managed to even start the actual conversation.
Well, it's not like she really had to start. I already knew what the conversation was going to be about. She didn't even have to hint. I knew she wanted to talk to me about Nate.
Or rather, she wanted to talk to me about not thinking of Nate. About moving on with my life and stop living in the past. Just like what Sophie tried to tell me last week over coffee, and what Becca tried to convince me to do when we went jogging two weeks ago. One by one, my friends were trying to convince me to move on.
I didn't want to talk about moving on again, but seeing as that I had already dodged this gruesome conversation with Hannah for about a month now, I figured I should just get it over and done with. Fast, painless, like pulling off a band-aid; exactly how it went with Sophie and Becca. I'd just smile and say, "I have moved on, really. It's just not as fast as other people. But I'm fine, I swear."
Hannah took a deep breath, as if she had to prepare herself before delivering the big speech.
"Look, there's no easy way to say this, so I'm just going to go ahead and say it," she said.
I nodded, mentally rehearsing my "I'm fine" line so I could be more convincing. Maybe I wasn't convincing enough to Sophie and Becca, which is probably why they had to send my sister Hannah down to do the job for them.
"I know Sophie and Becca have spoken to you," she continued, as I smiled, telling myself I was probably psychic or something.
"Yes, yes they have. And if you're here to tell me the same thing, don't waste your breath. I'll just repeat whatever I said to them. I am moving on. It's probably just not as fast as other people. But I am. I'm fine. I swear."
I expected Hannah to roll her eyes. I had already envisioned her shaking her head, disapproving and not buying into what was clearly a big fat lie. But she didn't. She did shake her head, but it was different.
"No, no. I'm not here to tell you to move on. I'm here to tell you not to. Nate needs you, Grace. You can't move on just yet."
I wasn't used to people telling me I shouldn't move on. From the day that the news spread – that Nate backed out of our wedding two nights before, claiming he decided he wasn't ready to commit and didn't even love me all that much after all – all my friends and family have been trying to tell me to forget him and just move on. Some were more extreme that others: my parents offered to let me stay with my Dad's brother in Leeds so I wouldn't have to be on the same continent. Nate's own sister Marissa, who Skyped me from Sydney, said he wasn't even worth the heartache. Oh, and let's not forget my high school boyfriend Jack, who (jokingly) offered to have him "terminated."
So why was Hannah, my own sister, whom I shared flesh and blood with, telling me to do otherwise?
I looked around me, wondering if I was being filmed on some cruel reality TV show or something.
"Is this a joke?"
She shook her head. She looked serious. I don't recall ever seeing her this serious.
"I don't get it."
She bent down to grab something from her bag; a white envelope, bearing the initials NW on it.
Just seeing those two letters side by side gave me goose bumps all over. Nathaniel Woodward. Nate. My Nate. Or "used to be" my Nate.
"I'm breaking so many laws by doing this, but I have no choice."
She opened the envelope so slowly that the suspense almost killed me. A million questions rushed through my head. What is that? Why is this breaking the law? What is she trying to show me? The voices in my head just wouldn't stop asking no matter how much I tried to tell them to shut up.
"Nate went to Dr. Peterson about six weeks ago. He complained that he was feeling extremely weak, and at one point couldn't get out of bed. Dr. Peterson suggested to him to do some blood tests, some scans and…" Hannah paused. She looked to her left and right, then moved forward before saying very softly, "Gracie, the results weren't so good."
I felt a stinging pain in my throat. While I often wished that Nate would drop dead on account that he humiliated me by canceling our wedding, I sincerely never meant it to be literal.
"I didn't even know he was seeing Dr. Peterson. He was going by his first name, Samuel, and I didn't realize it until Dr. Peterson had me pull up his file last week."
"What does this mean? I mean, what exactly are you trying to tell me here, Hannah? Is he like… dying or something? I don't understand any of this…" I said, shaking my head repeatedly. What was I supposed to think of all this?
"I need you to listen to me carefully when I say this, Gracie," Hannah blurted out. Then she shook her head and said, "They found a tumor in his brain."
I started feeling chest pains myself. Either that or someone stuck a blade right through my heart. Whichever it was, I was having trouble breathing.
"I know this is a lot to take on and I know it's easier to hate Nate for what he did to you. But I think he needs you right now. He moved all the way here from Australia for you. He doesn't have anyone here except for a few friends that didn't take your side."
My head was spinning uncontrollably. I had to tightly grip the edge of my seat just to keep myself from falling out of the chair.
"I hated him for what he did to you too, but I couldn't help but notice that the dates of his appointments and when he got all the scan results back – they're all around the time things became rocky with you guys. In fact, here…" Hannah took out a piece of paper and tried to show it to me. It just looked like a white page full of scribbles because my eyes were so blurry from holding back tears. I couldn't read a single thing that was on it. "This note Dr. Peterson made was from July 7th. That was the day, right? That was the day he called it off? Gracie, it's not that he didn't love you…"
"Stop!" I suddenly shouted. I couldn't take it. Hannah kept talking and talking, and I couldn't digest everything she was saying. "Please, stop talking. Just… for a minute. I need to process this."
Hannah pulled back. She sat up against her chair and folded her arms across her chest.
I checked my watch. A quarter past two. I was definitely going to be late.
I wanted to scream. I didn't know how to wrap my head around this whole Nate situation. He had a tumor growing in his brain? Did he have cancer? So, he might have left me because he knew he was sick, not because he wasn't ready to commit? And after all this time of hating him, I was supposed to go back to him and be his support system through one of the most difficult situations in his life?
What exactly was I supposed to be feeling for him? By the looks of it, Hannah seemed to think I should be feeling compassion for him. She probably expected me to dramatically exit the restaurant and run off to Nate's place to wrap my arms around him and tell him all was forgiven. She was pretty dramatic like that. I had no doubt that exact scene played through her head ever since she asked me to have lunch with her. But was I able to do that?
More than anything at that point, what I felt was disappointed. Sure, compassion was lurking around, banging on my head telling me I should just forget about my pride and go running to him. But I couldn't suppress the disappointment because all this just meant that he didn't trust me enough to share it with me. Either he didn't think I'd be strong enough to stick around, or he didn't think I loved him all that much – both scenarios made me sound like the weak link in the relationship.
"Grace, I know you need time, but if the tumor turns out to be malignant, time is something he probably doesn't have a lot of. I know you still love him, that's why you haven't been able to move past hating him for leaving you. So, open your heart to him again and be there for him. He needs to have some sort of positive reinforcement in his life right now. It really helps. He's in a hospital room completely alone. The only people who have been seeing him are the nurses, Dr. Peterson and me. He can't go through this alone, Grace."
I brushed the tears away from my face. The thought of him alone in the cold and unfriendly hospital bed surrounded by needles and surgeons pushed those tears right out of my eyes.
I checked my watch again. Half past two. I was late, but I decided I didn't really care anymore. This was so much bigger than some silly promotion.
"When do you know for sure how bad it is?" I finally asked.
"Any time now. We're waiting for the results from the biopsy to come out."
--Check back for Part 2 of Moving On next week! Do you like this story so far? What do you think will happen? Leave a comment to let us know. Thanks! We love hearing from you!

Scientists and Ranchers Collaborate for New Program
As part of a collaborative project recently funded by the USDA's Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (WSARE) program, the CNLM Conservation Science Team worked hard to document gopher and butterfly habitat and plant productivity at local prairie and agricultural sites. CNLM is working closely with Washington State University (WSU), Thurston County WSU-Extension, and three local ranchers to improve natural habitat conditions on working lands, while maintaining or even improving agricultural productivity. The ranchers will implement NRCS-recommended rotational grazing regimes and CNLM will seed specific native seed mixes into an experimental framework to enhance resources for gophers and butterflies. CNLM will track how these treatments affect habitat, relative to both standard continuous grazing treatments and enhanced upland prairie. This information, along with economic data on altered grazing regimes, and social survey data on conservation incentive programs, will guide strategies for documenting and enhancing the conservation value of working lands, while supporting the bottom line of working landowners.
CNLM Americorps members Stu Olshevski and Katherine Jesser monitor native plants at a native prairie 'control' site.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The show was a success and the cooler weather was a welcomed blessing. We had 23 Alfa's registered and it looked like all showed up. The variety and quality of the cars was amazing. A big thanks to everyone who participated and also those who showed up to admire and talk Alfas. Also, thanks to those who took the time to stop by and visit with me. That was one of my personal highlights.
Richard says there is a club event planned for sometime in October so let's see if we can get some good participation on that.
Thanks and cheers everyone.
Registration is now closed and we have a little over 70 vehicles signed up. So, if you are in, great. If not, please come out and say hello to the chapter members and enjoy the fellowship of like minded Alfa owners.
Cheers everyone and hope to see you there.
The weather forecast is looking rather great, with a break in temps mid-week. The forecast high on Saturday is showing 83°. It should be a great day. Come out if you can.
Bump and a reminder. Alfa Romeo is the featured marque and it would be great to have a good turnout. Show is in about 3+ weeks and there is still time to get registered. We will not be taking walk in entries as we print out in advance names and lanyards for everyone who enters the show. Please come join us even if you cannot show a car and say hello to me, Richard Cross and other Alfa owners.
Cheers everyone,
I'm in. I just registered the 164. The car is currently running well, but to speak of this is to tempt fate. So no more will be said about that. Come out to show, or just to visit. It is a special day and we are trying to get some 4C's and hopefully an 8C to attend. Your Alfa will be in good company.
Cheers everyone.
DFW ItalianCarFest 2015
It's time to start planning for the best Italian only car show in north Texas - ItalianCarFest. The Italian Car Club of the Southwest has been working these last few months with the city of Grapevine on the show. The club has a new president, Randy Bush and he posted an announcement in FerrariChat with the details. Here is his post.
"I have the great pleasure to announce that ItalianCarFest 2015 will be held on 12 September at Nash Farm in Grapevine, Texas! The theme for this year's show is "Alfa Romeo's Return to the USA". We plan to have a fantastic display of Alfa vehicles and memorabilia on hand. Boardwalk Ferrari Maserati of Plano is the Presenting Sponsor once again and we're very happy to have them on board. The classes will be similar to last year, encompassing Italian cars and Italian motorcycles and scooters. The Italian Connection class is always a favorite, comprised of non-Italian makes that contain Italian coachwork or mechanicals. Registration is now open, so please visit the ICF website at ItalianCarFest for all the details. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected]. Its worth the trip and we look forward to seeing all of you at the show!
Randy Bush
Chairman, ICF 2015
Alfa Romeo will feature prominently in the show and it would be great if we had a good turnout from the chapter. So, wash and polish up the Alfa and come join us for a wonderful celebration.
Thanks everyone and cheers!

Feel at home at holiday
Finally, on the 6th December 2008, our dream came true — the dream of our own hotel; a house where we ourselves would love to stay on holiday. We had often found whilst travelling that something was not quite right; the rooms were too small, the breakfast times were inconvenient, there was no chance to just make yourself an omelette at night instead of going out for dinner again. Feeling just as independent in a hotel as you do at home, that was our ideal. Our FIREFLY is the hotel we imagined. That's why we live here ourselves — just upstairs. Now we just want one thing: that you feel as comfortable as we do. And that you don't miss out on anything, especially not the freedom to do exactly what you want. That's what being on holiday is all about. Maria and Michael Kalbermatter

Photography is definitely an important aspect of your wedding day. Sometimes things can be such a blur on the day of that you can easily forget the special moments. Photography can capture exactly that. We believe that it is important to have something very natural and that shows the couples character. Here are some fantastic photographs of Brown Co. Wedding ceremonies done by Venus Leah Photography. She does a fantastic job!
Thoughtful Thursdays: Be Kind 2 Your Bridesmaids2 May
While Thoughtful Thursdays' are mainly for being thoughtful about the environment, this post is going to be both for the environment and those ladies you call your bridesmaids. Your maids are obviously in your wedding because you love them dearly, at least we hope that is the case. So you should really treat them as so. While they are there to help you, they aren't your actual maids and servants. Take off your Bridezilla panties and act like a friend. Yes, it is your day, but who wants to be remembered as THE WORST BRIDE EVER!
One of the worst things you can do is pick your maids and decide that they need to wear a HIDEOUS dress that they can never ever ever wear again and had to pay $250 for. Not only is this rude, but it's quite wasteful. Why not pick out dresses that they can wear again, instead of having them stuff their closets full of monstrosities to never see the light of day again? No one wants to be Katherine Heigl in '27 Dresses'. Except for maybe the fact that she ends up with James Marsden's character.
Also, please remember that not every lady is a size 2 like the models in the pages of those glossy bridal magazines. We're not all the same shape, size or color. Yes color…some colors are just not meant to be on certain skin tones. So while, you may think "OMG! This is the best dress EVER!" and squeal with delight to that citron yellow beauty of a dress. That is not going to look good on the majority of people and it will come back to bite you in the booty when you see your wedding photographs and someone is sticking out like a sore thumb. The same goes for size and shape. You don't want your busty BFF to be wearing a strapless dress that her girls are trying to escape from all night and having to wrangle them in, like a group of cattle, while simultaneously having boob tube. Not familiar with that term? It's when a ladies front side literally looks like a tube of breakfast sausage that you get at the grocery. IT IS NOT BECOMING.
Also remember, if you make your single friends wear ugly dresses at your wedding, it WILL come back to haunt you! They will forever remember your awful dress and when it comes to their wedding, you may be in the same boat. Let's break this silly cycle ladies. Have your maids get dresses that they can wear again, while looking good on them. Give your wedding some personality and have them wear different dresses in different colors that all coordinate together. Your pictures will end up looking much more natural and comfortable.
Tradition Tuesday: To Veil or Not to Veil9 Apr
We're seeing that more and more brides are starting to go without the veil, which we absolutely love. I have never been a fan and can't imagine carrying a tulle headdress all over my wedding. I mean, what's the point? Most brides take it off as soon as the ceremony and pictures are finished, and that's not a cheap accessory to wear just for a bit. And, while brides still wear them often, we assume because they are scared to break from tradition, they don't realize they are already so far off tradition anyway.
So here's the scoop, that tulle monstrosity on top of your head, was actually used for a much different purpose than most realize. In observation, it seems that most people look at is as a modest act within the church used to show humility and respect. Which, to some extent, and especially in a religious atmosphere, is true. However, there is also the historical idea that the bride may be vulnerable to being bewitched. OH MY! Ancient Romans actually veiled brides in flame colored veils to ward off those evil doers. While we sort of love the idea of a flame colored veil or headpiece, your mothers would flip! But who cares, right? It's your wedding, not theirs. There was also the thought, in arranged marriages where the groom and bride didn't see each other until the wedding, that they would veil the bride to hide her. Why? You might ask. Because, of course, they didn't want the groom not liking what he saw and sprinting away at first glimpse of his bride walking down the aisle. How depressing!
Do you remember Princess Diana's veil? While everyone was so ga-ga over it at the time, the length was a bit out of control. And when we say 'bit', we mean seriously OUT. OF. CONTROL. Do you really want the memories of your wedding day to be only of a stiff neck? No thank you! These specifically over-the-top veils come from Victorian customs when the veil & train showed status depending on their weight, length, & quality. So only the most Royal of people would have the biggest & longest veils & trains. Hmmm…we still say no thanks.
We say go for a piece that talks about you. How many people can really be defined by a veil? For the vintage bride, try a pill-box hat with a birdcage veil. We LOVE birdcages. If you have a touch of fun in you and like to make a statement, try a fascinator. Go Grecian Goddess with a gilded head-piece. Or Bohemian Chic with a fresh crown of flowers adorning your pretty face. They are so much fun! Cut the veil, cut the train, and get funky! Have we convinced you?

There are four facts about exercise after menopause that are intertwined. When taken together they create a downward spiral that robs women of health as they age. Fighting against them takes daily awareness and daily effort. I knew the facts. I have even blogged about them. But I let down my guard, and lost some ground that I'm now working diligently to regain.
- Hormone changes that come with menopause cause a loss of muscle mass of 1-2 % per year.
- The same hormone changes make it much harder to build new muscle.
- Metabolism also begins to drop. By age 50, metabolism is down 10 – 15 % from what it was at age 30. Loss of muscle contributes to a decrease in metabolism and decrease in metabolism contributes to loss of muscle.
- When you are at rest, muscle burns more calories than fat.
If a healthy active woman continues to eat the same food and exercise in the same way after menopause she will gain weight and add fat.
I see all of these principles at work in myself.
It is so disconcerting to watch the muscle I have go soft. It affects my appearance. My legs and arms don't have the muscle definition they did. It affects my joints. For example several years ago I had patella femoral pain. I did physical therapy exercises on my quads and made a complete recovery. I thought I was finished with patella femoral forever. But muscle loss has allowed the knee pain to return. The recovery this time is slower. Muscle loss also affects my endurance. It keeps me from exercising with the intensity that I did before menopause.
I can remember in my 20s, 30s, and 40s when I would let my exercise lapse. I would get convicted, start exercising again and see almost immediate results. That is no longer true. I work diligently, but improving muscle tone and strength is painfully slow.
Women after menopause also find that injuries are more frequent. When I push too hard to try and make up for lost ground, I strain a muscle or a nerve. I recently learned that hormone changes can cause dehydration and brittleness in ligaments and tendons. Tendonitis becomes more likely. I knew my skin needed hydration, but I had no idea the same was true of connective tissue. How do I hydrate tissues inside my body that I can't see?
I have not compromised on eating or exercise, yet I have gained weight – not good weight, but fat. Most frustrating – and I suspect related to my cholesterol readings – I have added fat around my middle. I recoil against the words "belly fat" in advertisements. But suddenly I have it. My body type, when I was younger, always collected fat in my legs and thighs. I would never look like a fashion model, but I learned to live with it. I could compensate by buying clothes that emphasized my small waist and flat tummy. Now I look in the mirror and see soft fatty tissue over my belly. I read that belly fat is related to cholesterol. For me, it certainly seems to be true.
You can see the spiral. A healthy active woman goes through menopause and starts to lose muscle mass. She doesn't build muscle as fast, and her metabolism slows down. She keeps eating and exercising in the same healthy way, thinking that all is well. She is frustrated when the scale starts to creep up. The frustration increases when she sees fat where it didn't used to be. Fat burns fewer calories than muscle, and the extra calories become more fat. The spiral goes down another level.
I know what I have to do. Type Os need intense physical exercise for general health and to control cholesterol. Women need weight bearing exercise to maintain bones. Women need resistance training to build muscle. I need all three, but I mustn't become impatient or I will injure myself. I have to be disciplined and work at it steadily every day.
In addition to Dr. D's guidelines, I have recently read these general tips about reversing muscle loss.
- Protein is the most valuable food for repairing and building muscle fibers.
- Low blood levels of vitamin D are associated with lower muscle strength
- Initial exercises should be aimed at strengthening the core.
- After a workout, your body needs to regenerate itself. That mostly happens while you sleep, so aim for seven to nine hours each night

***UPDATE*** Voters turned down the $350 million road bond issue. At stake was the controversial six mile extension of Woodlands Parkway. The additional projects rejected by the voters included Hwy. 242, the Rayford Road corridor and FM 1488 in Magnolia. So, for the time being I suppose these guys are safe:
"The Roads of Montgomery County" doesn't quite have the ring to it like "the Bridges of Madison County" does. Nor do we have the famous actors and theme music.
What we do have is an election on May 9th to vote on the Montgomery County Road Bond. Sounds boring? Not around Montgomery County.
The $350 million bond would go towards several projects in Montgomery County. What is being disputed is the value of a proposed extension of Woodlands Parkway six miles west to Hwy 249. There was a study published that gave the opponents some ammo to argue with. "a study performed by Brown & Gay Engineers and conducted over 24 hours in February that analyzed traffic patterns at Woodlands Parkway and FM 2978. According to the study, traffic along Woodlands Parkway east of FM 2978 would increase by more than 7,000 vehicles per day by 2018 if Woodlands Parkway is extended, and by more than 12,000 vehicles per day by 2025." (source)
What the study did not address was what the expected traffic would be if nothing is done. Could it be an increase of 25,000 vehicles a day by 2018 and 50,000 by 2025? Even if the net result of the project is more traffic on Woodlands Parkway, it still would be lessening that amount.
Plus, this road extending Woodlands Parkway would give another alternate egress out of The Woodlands which, at times, has seemed like a dead end. Kingwood sound familiar when it comes to limited means of getting in and out? Remember, same developer.
Four years ago a $200 million bond failed to pass when 53% voted it down. This time our population growth is "in our face" and needs to have traffic issues addressed. This bond proposal has 75 projects in it, not just the extension on Woodlands Parkway.
The county needs these improvements and need them soon. We can't wait another four years to vote again. By then the traffic will be coming to a halt.

My goal for this website in terms of design, was to have a modern feel to it. Keeping it classy but also using color to highlight important buttons such as the menu.
Wellingtons Grill, a restaurant located in Harrison, New York. The owners also run another food business called Powell Catering, which you can find on this website.
My idea for the menu was to use animation to help reinforce the elegant interior design of the restaurant. In order to highlight their best selling dish, I used a star in each section.
As of right now, the client only wanted a simple emailing system. In the future an online ordering system will be available. I plan to still keep the emailing system just for simple inquiries.

Cobblers boss Keith Curle has encouraged his players to show more 'belief and bravery' during games after praising their discipline and organisation in Saturday's win at Crawley Town.
Northampton were rarely troubled by the Red Devils during their victory at the Broadfield Stadium, even before Ollie Palmer's second-half red card, with goalkeeper David Cornell not having a save to make.
I like scoring goals to the extent that, if the opposition leave three up from our corner, I'm prepared to leave just one back.
But Cobblers were often disjointed as an attacking force and only came away from West Sussex with all three points thanks to Kevin van Veen's well-taken penalty.
Although a sixth clean sheet of the season pleased Curle, he now wants his players to up their game in an attacking sense.
He said: "I love clean sheets! But likewise I like scoring goals to the extent that, if the opposition leave three up from our corner, I'm prepared to leave just one back.
"When we need to do then is to be brave on the ball, play three v two and three v one in wide areas and wait for the right opportunity because, if they've got three up and three out and we've got seven in the box, we have a spare man.
"Then it's a case of delivering, having bravery and making the right decision and putting in the right ball for someone to get on the end of it.
"I'm brave enough to do it but some of the players have one eye on needing to get back. Why? Keep possession of the ball, work it, find that creativity and that belief in yourself to delivery quality.
"As soon as we start doing that, they don't leave three up. They end up leaving one up. I'm brave enough and I need to demand that out of my players and get them to understand that."
Asked what pleased him about Saturday's performance, Curle added: "We're organised, we're disciplined and we're prepared to face challenges. That, as a backbone, is what myself and the coaching staff have instilled and I think we've now got that platform.
"Now we need the players to start believing in themselves and put it together on matchdays because they do it through the week in training.
"I'm not the type of coach that's about passing from A to B to C to B to A but I like players to have creativity and have licence to express themselves in the right areas."

Returning Citizens: Hear Me Out
Willie Knighten | September 23 | 9:00 - 10:00 AM | Room 2584
The workshop will show Willie Knighten's TED talk on the inconsistencies of the criminal justice system and how to advocate for people returning to our communities who leave our jails and prison systems (Returning Citizens). Willie will share his personal triumph over incarceration and criminal lifestyle. Individuals should learn the barriers and hardships for people leaving jail and prisons, the need for criminal justice reform, and the mentality of people in and out of prisons. The workshop will provide service providers the key when working with this particular population.
