Editor's note: Combining his passions for the markets, humor and food, "What's cookin' with Kenny Polcari" is a blog published twice weekly on CNBC.com. With more than 30 years of experience on Wall Street, Polcari provides insight and analysis on the markets, as well as a recipe du jour. Buon appetito!
The markets digested a weaker-than-expected jobs report Tuesday. Investors were as hungry for a strong employment number as you'd be for roast sirloin (which, by the way, I have a recipe for below). But it turned out that employers added just 148,000 workers in September, according to the Labor Department, missing expectations for a gain of 180,000. Still, the unemployment rate dropped to 7.2 percent, the lowest level since November 2008.
(Read more: Job creation weakens, but unemployment rate ticks down)
But employment is nowhere near where we need it to be. The jobs number says we continue to make slow progress, but will this report really cause the Fed to change course? No. Remember, this report is 18 days past due thanks to the partial government shutdown.
The fact is the 16-day shutdown most likely hurt any economic momentum, leaving the Fed in a somewhat compromised position. As many analysts and strategists have been saying, the disruption caused by the antics in D.C. has pushed out the Fed's timeline for tapering. And the idea of QE's continuing for an extended period has only been made clearer by the nomination of Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as chair. Thus, last week's rally.
(Read more: Weak jobs report signals longer Fed easing)
To be sure of economic strength, we'd have to see a few good jobs numbers. But next month's report will be questionable and that takes us into December just when we run into another political firestorm.
The markets have already delivered a strong performance month-to-date, even as the macro, the micro and the political dysfunction continues, but remember the trend is your friend and you CANNOT fight the Fed. Where else is an investor to go?
According to published reports, many emerging markets have enjoyed a rally during the month, including the BRIC and MIKT nations, as well as some in Latin America and the Caribbean. Even Greece managed to rally in October. All this action is credited to the Fed's remaining firmly in control of easy money. Therefore, after some digestion (not a correction), we may continue to see the U.S. markets attempt to create new highs.
As investors refocus on earnings, we continue to see a mixed picture. Fourth-quarter earnings growth is running at about 1 percent, versus the estimated 4 percent.
We remain in a long-term bullish pattern, yet we are a bit overbought in the short term. The McClellan Oscillator is approaching a reading of 80; a reading above 60 qualifies as overbought, so a pullback shouldn't come as a surprise. We continue to hit our head on the trend line at 1,745 and would see short-term support at 1,725. Stay tuned.
And now from the kitchen of Kenny Polcari, here's his recipe of the day!
Roast sirloin
Get a nice sirloin roast of 5 or 6 lbs. and season with salt. Let rest for 20 minutes on the counter. Slice fresh mushrooms; chop two large carrots, two celery ribs and 1 large onion. Select a nice bottle of red wine (I use a pinot noir), and a can each of low sodium beef broth and tomato paste.
After resting the beef, season it with pepper and sear it in a frying pan with olive oil, making sure to brown on all sides and even letting a crust form. When complete, place in a V rack in a uncovered roasting pan and put in an oven preheated to 275 degrees. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours or when ready according to the meat thermometer.
After putting the roast in the oven, return to the frying pan. Add the chopped veggies to the oil and sauté until tender, which could be 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in tomato paste. Next, add 1/2 bottle of the red wine and stir. Bring to boil and let the alcohol burn off a bit—maybe 3 minutes or so. Add the beef broth and simmer, stirring occasionally, but don't let it dry out. If necessary, you can always add a bit more broth. After about 30 minutes, give it a taste to make sure you like it. If so, puree 1/2 this mixture and return to the sauté pan and turn off heat.
When beef is ready, take out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes; cover in foil. Reheat the sauce, slice the roast and arrange on plate. Top with sauce.
Try a malbec with this dish.

Lazy Glitter Update
So. I'm on vacation. That means I can wear as much bling as I want to. It also means that I don't have to sport a perfect manicure, it's my vacation :-p
The solution to this came from the sweet Flavia of Similar Addiction. I won a giveaway, and she sent me the most gorgeous glitter polishes. This is one of them, KIKO 231.
I am so sorry I couldn't conjure the sun. I do have certain powers, but ruling the sun is a little out of my league.. ;-)

Stop Rewinding, Just Fast Forward!
Because that is were I'm going!
This is a gorgeous Misa polish. I am very often happy with my Misa's and this is one of the times.. :-D
This is a creme polish, very bright but not a neon because it dries very shiny. It is a red bordering on orange, and if you would've asked me before I tried it, I would've gotten the thumbs down. I believe I got it in a swap, and as such, since I only swap dupes, all new colors are good colors (within reason..)
This is two coats and no top coat but if you are careful it is a potential one-coater. Being a bright red color, that is amazing! I always use a top coat but this polish dried so fast and shiny I didn't need one!
Meh, was I wrong letting this polish stay among my untrieds!! This is just amazing, it goes very well with my skin tone and changes color like a chameleon. Now it's orange, now it's red, now it's berry.. Love it!

A Fling with Mr Wrong!
Back to my theme, at least sort of..
As regular readers of my blog will know I am newly separated after a long marriage. Well, as every counselor will tell you, be very careful regarding a relationship when you are in my position.
So, entering Mr Wrong!
I gave him two rather careless strokes and he was all over my fingertips, not a bald spot, not any streaking to be seen. He wore me out like iron. He was not boring in the night, not disgusting in the morning, he was flirtatious, gleaming, but quite manly with his dark base and subtle glitter.
After a week I told him we should part, but he didn't listen. Instead, he coaxed me into stroking him again on day ten, covering up some minor tip wear and a small chip.
This is Mr Wrong on day 17!
After three full weeks I finally got rid of him, but ladies, this guy just stole my heart!!
If he ever comes to your neighborhood, watch out!

The Queen of Green
Last week I got a craving for green. I didn't want to change my manicure since it still held up very well so I thought of an alternative. From my Helmer, I picked up all the green polish I have by BB Couture. I don't think there is another polish company that loves the green color as BB Couture does. I don't have a complete collection, but still, if I did one manicure a week I could wear BB Couture greens on my nails for almost six month. Awesome, right?

A Sparkling Award!
I received such a sweet award today, from Biba's Beauty corner
The rules are very simple:
- Answer one question: What do you like the most about your own blog?
- Pass this award on.
What I like most about my blog is that I managed to keep it guilt free. I blog for my pleasure, sometimes almost daily, sometimes no more than once in a fortnight. Before I started this adventure, I thought long and hard about it. I didn't want to create a monster that would feed me guilt and feelings of stress when I didn't have the time it required.
Well, there is no monster, just a great hobby and an opportunity to connect to the nicest internet community ever.. Thank you for reading and letting me be a part of all this!
I pass this award on to:

Ignite Your Motivation.
Modern. Minimal. Clean. On brand, in budget and on time. These were the objectives the founders of StudioTorch had in mind when engaging Black Ink for the last build-out phase at their Olentangy studio location. The resulting space is just that. This high-intensity class-based gym sees hundreds of clients in and out of their doors everyday. The space needed a slight fiery edge to keep clients motivated during intense class sessions. With goals to expand nationwide, we incorporated branded elements that could be replicated [with a slight locational tweak] and carried throughout their future locations. Subtle details and touches of crimson keep the space looking clean and modern while highlighting the motivational brand.

Up-Front Financial Counseling and Collections Not Completed
ASC Revenue Leak Tip
Check that insurance verification and patient financial counseling are completed as early as possible. Follow these steps:
Run a report showing who has been verified and the accompanying notes.
Patients should be informed of all payment types available (e.g., cash, credit cards, medical care credit companies). This enables patients to have sufficient warning of monies owed prior to surgery and provides them the time necessary to plan for meeting these obligations.
Only use promissory notes as a last resort.
All applicable forms to be signed and monies to be collected should be communicated to the registration clerk prior to procedure date.
Follow through with collection of agreed-upon funds on the day of the procedure.

Simple Man. Simple Music.
Adam Lomax is a writer who produces and performs songs that he refers to as "Certified: free-range, organic, and minimally processed".
Adam realized early on that he was not interested in the traditional entertainer's lifestyle, but he enjoyed composing and producing music, songs, and commercials. He learned very quickly that there were many artists and production companies who valued his ability to complete the writing , production, and recording of any audio project in a few short hours. This led to Adam's success in ghostwriting for professional recording artists, advertising agencies, and political campaigns. During his career, he has also provided vocal training for bands and solo acts across the country.
Adam is now "giving up the ghost - writing" and releasing a collection of songs that he set aside just for himself and his music group. This band of independent musicians goes by the name, Coffee & Sunshine Music Collective. He writes and sings covering an unlimited range of genres, but prefers the honest sound and feel of Singer Songwriter.
Adam can still be convinced to write, record, and produce for various artists & entertainment groups, but he is mainly focusing on the art of field recording and directing Clean Airwaves' many multimedia projects. As far as current workflow, Adam says "a good project is a good project and I never pass on an opportunity to be a part of something good. I will pause what I'm working on - if a new artist or idea piques my interest."

Would You Wear This Trend? Long-sleeves + Thigh High Boots
December 26, 2011 Leave a comment
This week we bring you another edition of "Would You Wear This Trend?". 2 is a coincidence (or a copy-cat), but 3 is a trend…however temporary is may be.
Today we have the ultra-divas Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Hudson and Kim Kardashian wearing–let's just call them busy–longs-leeved mini dresses with some major thigh high boots. Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian added an extra oomph with the animal print.
Going for the sexy–yet covered-up look, do you they win you over with this trend?
I think it's one step away from wearing a jumpsuit, but they all managed to pull it off well.
You can feature fun fashion face-offs like this using the apparel and accessories from over 1000 brands as a Shop My Label Shopkeeper. Have you requested your invite?

If an online magazine or publication wants to have any sense of consistency or standard in its content, then a style guide is needed in order to achieve that. A style guide, similar to that of the AP Style Guide, is a set of guidelines your publication adheres to when it comes to industry terms, company names, and other words relevant to your niche.
For example, is it "ebook," "e-book", or "eBook"? An online magazine without a style guide may have all three littered throughout its articles, and that just looks sloppy to readers. However, a style guide would determine which one is correct for YOUR magazine, and would ensure that "ebook" is the one consistently used throughout the publication.
Creating your own style guide is incredibly crucial for niche online magazines since the AP Style Guide doesn't get into those niche categories. Most online magazines have to deal with city names, for example bu tit's unlikely AP has any ruling on whether it's "shipbroker" or "ship broker", or "coworking" versus "co-working" versus "CoWorking". Keeping that niche terminology consistent will help your magazine be the go-to source for your community as well as maintaining sense of professionalism in its content.
The nice thing about style guides is that they aren't set in stone. Entries can be added, removed, and changed. The purpose of it is to keep your editors and writers following the same rules. You wouldn't want to waste time going back and forth on a few edits simply because one person things it's "cyber crime" and the other thinks it's "cybercrime". A style guide would prevent the needless editing and confusion.
Style guides don't just have spelling and grammar rules, but factual rules as well. Do you know what NASA stands for? How about UAW? The AP Style Guide will tell you, but having your own can also define what SaaS, VPN, and IP mean. If your readers know, and you get it wrong because you didn't have a style guide to verify the information, then prepare for your readers to call you out on it.
Online publications ought to develop the style guide before publishing their first post or issue, but if that's already happened, then better late then never. A style guide will add consistency and standard to what your publish from here on out. All legitimate publications have one, and it's not necessarily something that needs to be shared with readers. It's to make the publications better at what it does.

First and foremost, happy Memorial Day. I think it's sometimes too easy to forget that we celebrate this holiday in remembrance of those brave men (and women) who have lost their lives in service to our country. I recall many years back, during my first trip to the UK, my husband took me to visit an American Cemetery on the outskirts of Cambridge. It was a vast expanse of gravestones dedicated to American soldiers who had died overseas during WWII. We visited during the peak of summer, on an absolutely beautiful sunny skies kind of day. We were the only people there for miles, wandering between rows and rows of gravestones amidst the rolling greens hills. It was incredibly peaceful but also sad. These were the men who never made it home, buried in a foreign land. Yet it's oddly comforting that we commemorate this holiday with backyard barbecues amongst family and friends. It's often nicer to pay your respects on a happy note than a somber one, hence the tradition continues.
I'm a bit overdressed for a backyard barbecue in this flowing red dress. In reality, I wore it for a special event with hubby. I chose to style it simply with neutral accessories because the dress packs a punch all on its own. The most amazing thing about this dress is although it's a maxi, the length is on the shorter side, so no hemming was necessary. Unfortunately it's sold out, but I linked several other equally stunning (all under $200) red dresses below. Thanks for reading and hope you've had a relaxing holiday weekend.

Beginning in the 1780s, a large number of prominent Americans called for the establishment of a central mint to supply the United States with official coinage; all such proposals failed due in large part to lack of funds and opposition from individuals and groups who preferred that coins be struck by the individual states. Since there were no federal coins issued, the needs of the states were fulfilled by a variety of domestic and foreign coins and tokens, including Spanish eight-real coins (popularly known as Spanish dollars or pieces of eight)
In 1789, the United States Constitution, which granted Congress the power "to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures",
In 1791, following a study by Alexander Hamilton, Congress passed a joint resolution calling for the establishment of a national mint. Later that year, in his third State of the Union address, President George Washington urged Congress to provide for a mint, which was officially authorized by the Coinage Act of 1792. Despite the authorization, silver and gold coins were not struck until 1794. The Flowing Hair dollar, designed by Robert Scot, was initially produced in 1794, and again in 1795. In October 1795 the design was replaced by the Draped Bust dollar.was ratified and came into force.
The following year, Congress began deliberating on the state of the nation's monetary system and coinage. On January 28, 1791, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton presented a report to Congress detailing the findings of a study he had conducted on the monetary system and the potential of a United States mint. As part of his study, Hamilton had a series of assay tests of Spanish dollars performed, as that was the coin upon which the United States monetary system would be based.
After viewing the results, the secretary recommended that the silver content of the United States dollar be based on the average silver content of the reales tested. Hamilton's recommendation was that the dollar should contain 371.25 grains of silver and have a gross weight of 416 grains, the balance being copper. On March 3, 1791, after reviewing Hamilton's report, Congress passed a joint resolution authorizing a federal mint; the resolution, however, gave no specifics or appropriations.
The Flowing Hair dollar was the first dollar coin issued by the United States federal government. The coin was minted in 1794 and 1795; its size and weight were based on the Spanish dollar, which was popular in trade throughout the Americas, On January 24, 2013, a specimen striking from the 1794 production sold for $10,016,875, the highest price ever paid for a coin.

I have a question for you.
What do you value? In your life? About your life? What's important to you? Who do you value? What does it mean to value something? What do you hold near and dear to your heart, your mind, and your thoughts? This is important information to know, because your value system affects all areas of your life.
I am a firm believer that your thoughts create your words, and then your words create your life. So for me, I value my thoughts. I value where they come from, and what they mean. I continually ask, "Are these my thoughts or are they old paradigms passed down from someone else?" Or worse yet, "Are these thoughts really a completely influenced illusion, based on something I've witnessed in the 1D world of technology and social media?"
I value the breath and the space it offers me to discipline my thoughts. I value my emotions, as they are the gateway to my subtle body that cleanses all the old so I can witness new; over and over again.
I value time deeply – even though I am well aware that it is an illusion. More specifically, I value how I spend my time engaged in meaningful exchange with self or others. I value my daughters and the lessons they offer me in their wisdom and grace. I value myself, and the path I have walked and I value each and every lesson along the way.
It's important for you to know what you value.
It's important for you to know your own value.
This week's numerology and astrology are all pointing at you.
Yes, you.
Your value, your self-worth,
your ability to be more vulnerable and call Divine love into your life.
And it begins with you.
Nothing outside of you will hold a resonance of your value unless you allow it to. So this week I encourage you to look inward. If you want other people to value you for who you are, you must be the leader of that demonstration.
Leading up to the Full Moon this weekend, Saturn will square Chiron offering you opportunities to be more open and vulnerable which will usher true love into your life. And remember true love starts with you, so start valuing YOU!
The Sun trines Neptune, urging you to be social, experience joy and connection with others. There is deep value in intimate connection. Pay attention to those individuals circling in your aura right now. Why? Because they are a reflection of you … yes you.
Venus sextiles Saturn which brings in relationships that offer dynamic creativity along a meaningful path of common goals that elevate consciousness in yourself and others. Again … this all starts with loving and valuing YOU. So simple isn't it?
All this leads up to the Full Moon in Taurus, while the Sun is still conjunct Jupiter. This aspect is sensual, earthy, calming and very magical.
Summon in and claim your highest vibration of self-love, self-care, and self-worth.
When you value yourself, the resonance at which you operate elevates. When that happens everything up-levels and your world becomes a magical existence and playground for experience, exploration and discovery.

By A. G. Kleijweg*
Dear Readers,
In my work I see a rise of cases in which the Immigration Authority starts to question immigrants. Usually that is in cases where there is a relationship on the basis of which an application for a residential status is based.
That is fine because a residential status should only be granted if there is a genuine relationship between the migrant and the person in The Netherlands, hereafter called the referent. It is the job of the Immigration Authority to ensure that no fraud is taking place.
However, often I see cases where all kind of problems arise, either because of misunderstandings or clumsiness of the migrant and the referent, or because of faults on the side of the Immigration Authority.
Through this I want to inform readers about what questions might be asked and in which manner answers should be given.
This article is useful for anyone, Dutch, regular or irregular immigrant, with a clean conscience, who nevertheless gets questioned by any authority.
What situations to think of?
This article is not of any help for those who are involved in fraud and other activities that cannot see the full light of the day. They know well enough that they are doing something wrong and my advice on how to avoid misunderstandings in communication with authorities will not help them.
The situations to think of are applications for visa, for a residential status based on a relationship, an asylum-request, basically any situation, also not related to migration law at all, in which any case based on the validity of the information provided, a decision will be taken.
In those situations one must provide truthful, correct and precise information. That information will be cross-checked with other information, and the outcome of that process will be the basis for the decision in your case.
How does it work in The Netherlands?
The manner of working of the people who ask the question on behalf of any authority is to follow a standard pattern. The pattern is partly the result of legal requirements but also the result of cultural element. The legal part of the story is usually not a problem at all. The cultural part is the detail with the devil in it.
In the Dutch culture it is normal to give straight forward answers, no matter who is asking the questions. If you do not know the answer, just say so. If you consider a question too private, say so and do not give an answer. This is the cultural background of the official who asks the questions, me as a lawyer who is dealing with the case when trouble starts and of the judge who is judging such a case. Those who do not accept that and say, we are from another culture and do things in our own manner are taking a risky path. I advise them to learn as quickly as possible how things work in the country they intend to live in.
What are the common mistakes?
First mistake is that people think that just by saying something, that is enough and they should believe their words. Sadly, things cannot work like that. If you something, substantiate your statement with verifiable evidence. For example, you apply for a visa and say I will not overstay the requested visa because I have my own company to attend to. Then present the evidence that the company exist. This can be checked and if proven to be reliable that is good.
Second mistake is that people think they have to answer all questions and have to give "the right answers". That might work in school where you are likely to get more credits for any attempted answer no matter how silly than for no answer at all. In real life it does not work like that.
This often cause trouble in cases where there is a simultaneous hearing. In such a situation there is a list of identical questions for two people, usually migrant and referent in cases where there is doubt about the relationship.
Imagine a question like, how many uncles does your partner have, what are their names and how do they make a living? If your partner says, four uncles, their names are (-), two of them drive a truck, one is a fisherman and the other is a shopkeeper.
If you do not know all their names or you are not sure of the way they make their living, then just say so and tell what you know about them for sure. That is an honest statement!
If you are making up an answer, maybe embellish it a bit, and your answer is cross-checked with the answer of your partner, then there is a problem. There is a serious inconsistency in your story, there are doubts about the honesty of the answers and that is the beginning of a big problem. One or two of those "invented answers" further down the line and the conclusion is likely to be that the relationship between the migrant and the referent does not qualify as a genuine relationship and for that reason the permit must be rejected.
Is there an advice to avoid such problems?
Yes there is and it is an incredibly simple one. Just tell the truth and just as important, nothing but the truth. The truth is part of your history and is engraved in your memory. You do not have to think hard to make it up. You just memorize it. If there is a part of it you do not memorize well, just say I do not remember. If you do not know an answer to the question, then the answer is, I do not know.
If you consider a commonly asked question like "Do you and your partner have tattoos or piercings and if so on which part of the body?" just say so, if you don't mind the question, but if you do not know the answer, just say so. Not everyone does his/her thing in the bright light of day.
What is important is that you give a truthful and straight forward answer always, which could also be not giving an answer and giving the motivation for that.
That in my experience is understood by those who ask the questions and might not be any problem for the lawyer and the judge.

Fall Wedding at Cannon's Edge on Greenbluff
When I first met Austin and Kendall, I knew right away that I wanted to be their wedding photographer. They were sweet, simple, and so intentional with their plans and dreams for their wedding day. I left that first meeting feeling so confident about their love for one another and I knew they had something special. After a 17 month engagement, they finally promised forever to one another while surrounded by their friends and family at a beautiful ceremony at Cannon's Edge on Greenbluff. I loved their genuine and personal vows they wrote for each other and the sweet moments we spent together during their portrait session in the orchard. And when Kendall mentioned that she was feeling a little anxious, Austin was quick to remind her that the wedding was just like a giant pizza party with all their friends! And yes, pizza was served thanks to Veraci Pizza along with scoops of Brain Freeze ice cream for dessert. Memorable toasts, beautiful first dances under the string lights, and pumpkin donuts were just a few of my favorite things that completed this amazing day.
Kendall and Austin, you are perfect for each other and I feel so blessed to have been a tiny part of your beginning as husband and wife. I wish you love and joy for all the days of your life!
Congratulations and all my love to Mr. & Mrs. Austin and Kendall Watson!!

Bringing together jewels from the past can make a gorgeous new piece of jewelry for you to enjoy and pass on to future generations.
A new client brought in a collection of heirloom jewelry, which wasn't being worn and was taking up space in a drawer. Her husband had worked for a company for over 50 years and received many service pins with diamonds. She also had rings from her mother and old pieces of jewelry that hadn't been worn for years.
After assaying the jewels and describing to my client the quality and value of the jewels, we decided to break out all the diamonds and gemstones. We took the scrap gold and after determining the value, we issued a store credit for a substantial amount to go towards the creation of new custom rings.
We weighed and cleaned all the gemstones and laid them out by size and quality so we could start the design work. We did a number of drawings for our client to approve. We decided upon two rings, a fashion ring and wedding ring. The first ring used her mother's round diamonds and round sapphires in 14k round gold. The second ring is 14k two tone set with her engagement diamond with side diamonds from her husband's service pins. The second ring, a wedding ring, is worn with her two tone wedding bands.

NSF Research Progress Summary
Complex Systems Project 2 (Wall Paintings)
Sponsor Organization: the National Science Foundation
Supervising Faculty: Dr. Luis Rocha
Collaborators: Yingnan Ju
We tried different methods of unsupervised machine learning for classification of wall paintings: Traditional K-means and Autoencoding + K-means. Traditional K-means method uses all raw pixels of each image as the input and divide a batch of images into n (here n=4) categories and each category contains images that are most similar with each other.
Another method is to combine Autoencoding and K-means together. Neural network is applied as an autoencoder and it compresses an image into k (like, k=20) numbers and with only these k numbers, the neural network can also decode them to restore or reconstruct a nearly same original image. With this method, the number of features could be reduced to 20 features from 30000 features. Although there is only 20 features, these features might be the most useful for computer because the neuron network could reconstruct the image with only these 20 numbers.
Image from: https://towardsdatascience.com/applied-deep-learning-part-3-autoencoders-1c083af4d798
In simple words, the neuron network thinks these 20 features are the most important and useful. Then I can use K-means to deal with these 20 features to get the result with using these 20 features as the input of K-means to classify these wall paintings.

Wisdom Teaching: Saturn Retrograde In Gemini
Saturn Retrograde October 19, 2002
Today's Wisdom Teaching is on the planet Saturn. Last Friday, October 11th, 2002 Saturn went Retrograde in the sign of Gemini. This is Saturn'sfinal retrograde in the sign of Gemini.
Saturn stays in each sign for approximately 2 1/2 years. On February 22, 2003 it will go direct and will move into the sign Cancer on June 4th, 2003. The Wisdom during any retrograde is that it is a time for introspection and reflection.
Saturn is archetypically associated with discipline, patience, responsibility, habits, limitation and time. Saturn is connected in mythology to the God Chronos.
Chronos has been known as Father Time for at least the past three thousand years. Hence we have the word chronological, which means, "arranged in order of time of occurrence" or "to put things in order." There are many mythological stories regarding Saturn and Chronos. For today's weekly wisdom we will focus on the idea of time.

Wikipedia.com controls a lot of traffic. They dominate the Google rankings for just about every subject, and can have a profound effect on your search marketing efforts.
So, a link from Wikipedia can really help out. Search Engine Land has a great article on the long-term strategy for positioning yourself on Wikipedia.
I have a process that's worked for me in the shorter term, though. It's all about giving Wikipedia exactly what it wants – knowledge:
- Pick a researched aspect of your product, service or organization. When I say 'researched', I mean that folks try to learn about it even if they're not buying. For example, if you sell heated pet beds, folks might research the therapeutic effect of heat on older pets.
- Write a really good, 100% fact-driven white paper on the subject, and publish it on your site. Do not promote your product. This article should be pretty long, and very, very helpful. Seriously. Hire a professional writer if you need to.
- Go to Wikipedia. Find a related topic, like arthritis in cats. No article there yet? Write one!
- Contribute to it, citing your article.
- Create a reference.
That doesn't always work – Wikipedia editors are fickle creatures. But if you are genuinely creating value, chances are you'll get placement, and a link.
Be a good citizen, and you'll be rewarded for it.

Keep up-to-date with whats happening within the property market on Costa del Sol.Go
Fill out the form to get in touch
In our last post we gave you 7 reasons why expats love the Costa del Sol which we hope gave you a good idea of why it's such a great place to live. In this post we wanted to expand the theme a little to say why now is the time to move over and stop dreaming about your life in the sun.
First and foremost we'd say that now is a great time to relocate to the Costa del Sol because the economy is finally improving and Spain is officially out of crisis. After five tough years you can see things really turning around with more people recruiting, restaurants, bars and shops busier and everyone feeling much more positive about the year to come. This is brilliant news whether you're looking for a job, or want to launch your own company and the signs are that the economy will continue to improve for many years to come.
Property remains affordable but the market is rising, so this means that time is of the essence to relocate, find your feet and get ready to buy. We recommend renting long term first so you can get to know the area and find your perfect place before you take the plunge, so it's a good idea to come over as soon as possible before you get priced out of the market.
The start of the year is normally the time to make changes and take action, so if your new year's resolution was relocating to the Costa del Sol, start making it a reality and contact us to find an affordable long term rental property.
Plus this time of year is a good one to come as there are a lot of properties to rent long term, flights are still cheap and everything is quieter. If you leave it until closer to summer you will struggle to find something before September.
We look forward to making your dreams come true in 2016! Here's some handy information about moving to Spain and what you need to know to point you in the right direction, if you want to know more please don't hesitate to ask.

Quebec City Convention Centre, Canada
Professor in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences at Brock University, Canada
"Foods and Food Components for a Healthy Strong Skeleton in Women"
Dr. Ward is a professor in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences at Brock University where she holds a Canada Research Chair in Bone and Muscle Development. Wendy's research program, funded by major government granting agencies (NSERC, CIHR, CFI), studies how foods and food components may set us on a better trajectory for bone health throughout the lifespan. The goal of her research program is to develop dietary strategies that help protect against fragility fractures and osteoporosis. These strategies include novel foods and food components such as flaxseed and its omega-3 fatty acid; fish oil; flavonoids in tea and citrus; and soy and its isoflavones. She has published many peer-reviewed articles, invited reviews and book chapters on nutrition and women's health issues, including herbal and nutritional supplements. Wendy is a member of the Scientific Advisory Council of Osteoporosis Canada and an Associate Editor of the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism. She is actively involved in continuing education for health professionals and community groups on topics about nutrition and health.
Foods and Food Components for a Healthy Strong Skeleton in Women
This talk will highlight how foods and food components can specifically support bone health, with the long-term goal of preventing osteoporosis and associated debilitating fractures that too often compromise a woman's quality of life. Discussion of findings from preclinical studies will illustrate the potential role for foods and food components during in utero and early postnatal life to mediate 'nutritional programming', and to thereby set a trajectory for stronger bones that are more resistant to fracture during aging. Findings from clinical studies will also be discussed in terms of responsiveness of bone to various dietary interventions, and also what we are
learning about the relationship between dietary patterns and bone health.
Implementing Partners
The international rendezvous on health ingredients that will be held from October 2 to 4, 2018, at the Quebec City Convention Centre in Canada. Anchored in Quebec City's reputation for excellence in food and health, BENEFIQ is a must-attend event sparking synergy among scientists and industry professionals from this rapidly evolving sector.
An initiative of the Institute of Nutrition and Functional Foods (INAF)
Get notified first !
Thank you !

It's been a while. It's been a while, many things. Since I've actually written on the blog. Since I've raced track. Since I've been on any kind of a podium. Since I really felt good and really, REALLY enjoyed racing my bike.
I'm trying really hard not to dwell on a season that has me feeling let down. If you know me, you know this isn't an easy thing for me to do. Last week after Superweek I wasn't sure how I was going to do it at all. This year for the first time since I started racing as a Cat 2 (now, Cat 1), I didn't finish a single race I started in Superweek.
This is disappointing to me for the obvious reasons for a bicycle racer, results, goals, performance. But also, this year I was lucky enough to have my parents staying with me during the races, some of my biggest supporters in cycling and I would have liked to been able to put on a show, even it was an ill-advised breakaway. It's not to say I'm more disappointed, it just kinda sits a little harder.
This near-season long feeling, compounded by Superweek meant I almost bailed on going to Marymoore at the last minute. I really felt low in confidence about the trip and racing, I wasn't sure I was ready to commit to my share of gas money and a hotel for two nights to get my ass handed to me, even though it was the first time in four years I wouldn't be heading to Bend for the (hopefully just on Hiatus) Cascades Classic.
But, the more clear headed in my household (thank you Angela) helped convince myself it would be good to go. That yes, I did want to get some track in my legs leading into prep for Nationals at the end of September. Angela isn't only clear headed, but she's wise and she knows what's good for me. It was exactly what I needed.
It wasn't just that I found some legs down in Marymoore, or that I managed to pay for my trip and even make a little money from the weekend. It's that I found the stoke. I remembered what going all in on silly moves that sometimes work, often don't feels like. I remembered how good it is to win a points sprint, how good it is to be thrown in during Madisons (even if you're super rusty, and your partner is one of the more experienced on the continent), how good it is to meet new people, how good it is to mess up during the Crawl. I remembered how good the people I've met racing are, how we are all in the same struggle to balance our lives with finding the best humans we can be on the bike. I even remembered how good (or, maybe, painful) if feels to empty the tank in your last sprint of the weekend, over 400 meters out, making your eyes feel like they're bleeding.
I remembered that I really like racing my bike. I really love racing my bike.
I spout to any Juniors or young guys I can about making sure they've got that P.M.A. in their program, while I was missing it a bit from my own. I managed to find it this weekend. It has me excited for the next two months of hard work.

Great Advice To Teach You About Coffee Beans
You already know that coffee's robust flavor comes from the bean itself. One tiny bean, though, has created a big industry. Coffee is an industry that just keeps getting bigger. This article will help you brew the best tasting cup of coffee.
After making coffee, stir it into the pot. Simply by stirring, the flavors of the coffee will be awakened. In addition, it helps to release the natural aroma of the coffee, one of the hidden pleasures of drinking coffee.
If you're working from home, you can use coffee to get out of the house. Lots of coffee shops offer Wi-Fi for customer use, which allows you to bring your work along with you as you grab a beverage and get a change of scenery. Consider that many restaurants now do the same thing.
Putting food and drinks in the freezer makes them keep longer, but there's a limit to this. For coffee, three months is about the longest it can stay frozen. By freezing coffee beyond three months, you run the risk of losing flavor.
Brew coffee in the evening and store it in your fridge if you want to create iced coffee. This can keep the coffee from becoming diluted by adding hot coffee to ice. To properly sweeten your iced coffee, add sweetener before placing in the refrigerator. By doing this, you can create the perfect iced coffee.
It is a good idea to purchase a coffee grinder for your home. This really brings out the flavor of the coffee by leaving the oils intact. Many machines give you the option to tinker with varying levels of fineness when grinding your beans. Additionally, you may purchase an appliance with a built in grinder for practicality.
If you are after that perfect cup of coffee, you owe it to yourself to buy a French press. The French press squeezes more oils from the beans. Traditional coffee machines contain paper filters that remove the oils during brewing.
It is not necessary to keep coffee in your freezer. Coffee can absorb the odors or flavors from other foods. Keeping your coffee in an opaque, airtight container is a great place to store your coffee; make sure it is room temperature. If you must freeze it, keep your coffee in a sealed bag.
Coffee should be stored in a container away from the oven. The heat will just destroy your coffee. Thus, it is necessary to steer clear of counters or cabinets situated in close proximity to the oven.
Do you find yourself struggling to recreate the flavor of those expensive but tasty coffeehouse drinks? One thing you could do is use a larger amount of coffee beans. For every six ounce measurement of water, coffee shops will use two tablespoons at most of coffee. Try mixing different quantities of coffee and water until you get the taste that you want, and remember that the amount you use will depend on the blend.
Now that you are aware of what it takes to make the best coffee, have a cup! You will get great feedback from your house guests and you will thoroughly enjoy every minute of it. The more you apply these tips, the more enjoyment you'll get out of your coffee.

Our 2012 Garden
We filled up our raised beds this weekend with all kinds of goodies. Brandon has one entire bed dedicated to his super hot peppers, and in the other beds we have a bunch of greens, herbs, and tomatoes. Because we're participating in a CSA program again this year, we decided to cut down on the amount of veggies that we're growing at home. (There's only so much squash you can take.)
And although I'm not a flower person, I bought a dahlia and some celosias to add a bit of color to the front of the house.

The holiday season is upon us, it's true. And while the frenzy of sugary sweets, overzealous plates of food, gift giving, and fa-la-la-la-ing is no doubt wonderful, Winter can still rear its nasty head and make the city feel like a drab place to be. Fear not, though! There are plenty of new cozy atmospheres popping up around the city that have the potential to make complete and utter darkness at 6pm and sweater weather turned I-don't-want-to-leave-the-house weather not so bad, after all. New places to eat can put the pep back in your step and the zest back in your life, winter cloud coverage be damned. Here are some new DC restaurants worth venturing out from under your blankets for:
Arroz is located right inside of the Marriott Marquis hotel, and feels like a glam getaway to somewhere in faraway Morocco, with incredibly well-planned decor such as blue mosaic tiles and understated lit candles present throughout the space. This isn't a casual, last-minute place. It's on the fancier end of the spectrum, and you'd be better off with reservations. The star of the show here, though (as it should be) is the food. A coming together of Michael Rafidi, a celebrated chef known in DC and along the East Coast plus Mike Isabella, famed restaurant businessman.
If you peep the menu, you'll find many exotic offerings with unique flavor combinations. It's really hard to pick what you'll want. Some sample items include:
Burnt Eggplant
Moroccan Flat Bread, Za'atar, Pine Nut, Black Garlic
Salt Cod Fritters
'Salt & Vinegar,' Mic Saison, Sherry Aioli
Moorish Chicken
Kale, Chickpea, Preserved Lemon, Fried Almond, Brown Butter Cous Cous
Don't let the size of this 24-person dining room fool you. Himitsu is serving up big flavors to small parties, and even stretched beyond DC's city limits this year to receive a spot on the list of the "Best New Restaurants in America 2017." So, even though there are no reservations available, staking a spot in line is likely worth your while. The cuisine here is inspired, for the most part, by Japanese foods. The menu, however, is always shifting and changing, featuring everything from "snacks" to "raw plates" and "hot plates".
Sample items from the menu include:
Charred Baby Carrot
Sweet Garlic Robioina, Burnt Chili Garlic, Brown Butter Pine Nuts, Carrot Fronds, and Mint
Lemon Fish, Red Onion, Thai Chili Coconut Milk, Cured Squash, Lime, and Peanuts
"The Benihana"
Kobe Beef Tri-Tip Steak, Umami Butter Rice, Napa White Kimchee, and Garlic Soy
Okay, admittedly, this spot is so new it's not even open yet…but after the pop-up earned some street cred, it's hard not to be excited about a unique burger place opening in what they promise will only be a "few more weeks" in Adams Morgan. Their pop-up has received no shortage of praise, getting named "Burger of the Year" by Burgerdays. The burgers are all made of hand-formed Creekstone beef, specially seasoned, and then cooked. Pickles, sauces, and spreads are made in-house and in small batches. Bread is baked locally. These are craft burgers, through and through. Some interesting choices on the menu include:
Alfie's Bun
Creekstone Patty, Smoked Cheddar, Runny Egg, Pineapple, Pickled Beetroot, Arugula, Lucky Sauce, Grilled Red Onion
Hot Chicky Bun
Fried Chicken Thigh, Sichuan Peppercorn Spice Paste, Pickles, Onion, Mayo, Chinese Yellow Mustard
Spice Bag
Chips with Fried Chicken, Peppers, Onion, Curry, and Spices
Talk about the perfect spot to cozy up and drink a brew or two. The food here will consist of creations from Emily Baran, who has been the sous chef at other DC establishments and also graduated to of her class from L'Academie de Cuisine.The name is a nod to a place where "soldiers from Fort Stevens used to go to eat and drink during the civil war." The food here is uncomplicated and satisfying, with rave Yelp reviews holding it to promising standards. Some sample selections off the menu include:
Pork Belly Tacos
Slaw, Sriracha Aioli
Crispy Brussel Sprouts
Spiced Yogurt
Steak Frites
Fries, Compound Butter

After rumors circulated last week that none other than the White Wolf himself, Geralt of Rivia, would be a playable character in SoulCalibur VI, it has now been officially confirmed. The news was revealed via The Witcher Twitter account (see below) in which Geralt was confirmed to feature in SoulCalibur VI. Not only that but Geralt will bring with him a brand new stage set in Kaer Morhen for fighters to duke it out in.
We are excited to announce that Geralt of Rivia will be joining the playable characters roster of Bandai Namco's @soulcalibur VI, with Kaer Morhen as a new stage!
SOULCALIBUR VI will launch this year on PS4, Xbox One and PC via Steam. https://t.co/wpMpcvycjm
— The Witcher (@witchergame) March 15, 2018
Bandai Namco, the series' publisher also announced the news alongside a trailer showcasing the Witcher's involvement in the long-running fighting game series. The trailer, which you can watch below, shows Geralt, nicknamed the White Wolf, using his signature fighting style involving two swords, one for humans, one for monsters, and his Witcher abilities. The abilities shown in the trailer include Igni, Aard, and Axii.
It seems that Geralt will be a big part of the game, considering he features prominently on the game's box art. This is not a first by a long shot for the series, with guest fighters Link and Heihachi Mishima appearing on the box art for SoulCalibur II and Darth Vader being featured prominently on the SoulCalibur IV box art. The SoulCalibur series has a long-standing tradition of including guest fighters from other game series, starting with SoulCalibur II back in 2003. So far, guest characters have included Master Yoda, Darth Vader, Starkiller, Heihachi, Spawn, Ezio Auditore, Kratos, Link, and Lloyd Irving. They are often included in the game's main plot-line and are given their own unique fighting styles.
Geralt is the main protagonist of The Witcher series of games which sees humans genetically engineered in order to fight monsters. There have been three games in total, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt releasing in 2015.
SoulCalibur VI is set to launch in 2018, with no further details given on exact timing. Geralt will also appear as part of the Nendoroid toy line, with pre-orders starting in April.
Geralt is joining the Nendoroid Series from @GoodSmile_US – cuter than ever yet still deadly, with his silver sword and powerful Igni sign! Pre-orders start in April, so keep your eyes open! pic.twitter.com/NYagWRAmzW

So, I was posting a summary for my book on the NaNoWriMo Facebook page, thinking that it sounded over the top… stem cell-based cures for horrible incurable diseases within 2-10 years, that kind of thing… well….
There's no link for this, because it is insider info from shareholders who went to Ocata's quarterly meeting in Boston, which was not open to the public. (There is a LOT about Ocata in the book– they're the biotech company that just changed their name from Advanced Cell Technology.) Ocata is the company developing the first cure (or even treatment!) for age-related macular degeneration, a disease that slowly causes blindness for 30 million people in the U.S. and Europe alone. The interim published results for the clinical trials have looked great, but as far as when this treatment might actually come to market… it's everybody's guess.
But in the quarterly meeting… several attendees have all said the same thing. The drug already has orphan treatment approval for a genetic disease caused Stargardt's, which has exactly the same effects and eventually causes blindness. But it attacks much younger people, including children as young as six. (Yep, six years old.) AND… the CEO of Ocata said that the drug will be available in the U.K. in 2018. We don't have absolute confirmation of this yet. But it's apparently what was officially said at that meeting.
One of the lines of thought on the forums is that the date might be earlier for AMD approval in the U.S, even quite a bit earlier if the drug is fast tracked here… we just don't know. But this is INCREDIBLE!!!~ There has never ever been any kind of treatment for Stargardt's before, and now there will be, and it will be STEM CELL BASED. As of now, that will be the first drug approved anywhere in the WORLD that is embryonic stem cell based.
YES! IT'S THE START OF A NEW ERA IN MEDICINE!!! And it will be in the book!
(sorry about the capslock…
Cathy Danielson
I survived the disease, and I now have the only remission on record. But a remission is not a cure. The stem cell drug I need for a real cure is now rapidly moving towards approval in the rest of the world, but in the USA, it—and all other cellular therapies-- are still stuck behind prejudice, ignorance, and lack of funding. Hundreds of millions of desperate patients with incurable diseases need these drugs.
That's why I've gone on to fight for greater public education on stem cell drugs, knowing that our laws must be changed so that all of us can get access to the best treatments instead of our health and our lives being held hostage by special interests.
I'm now a patient advocate whose work on stem cells and patients' rights has been published in outlets such as the Oregonian. I am a manager at popular science and financial blog www.stemcellinvestor.com and a frequent speaker at many venues across the spectrum, including churches, scientific conferences, and atheist groups, and everything in between. I'm also an advocate for Right to Try laws that would allow access to experimental medication for terminal patients at the state level. Read the entire story in my upcoming book, And the Blind Shall See: A Skeptic Patient Surprised by Faith, Science, Family, and Miracle Cures.

She wrote back.
I have very weird feelings about this because I truly do feel like I'm way too psycho for my own good, (because I'm NOT psycho, normally. Really!) but I did email her and she did respond and she does want to get lunch again. Holy shit. Now I'm all sweaty-palmed again and tongue-tied. I suggested we revisit the site of our first "real" date again. But this is crazy. I mean, this pursuit will now have been happening since 2005 and for all I know, one of us isn't cool anymore (and it's probably me). I have to drink about this. I mean think. No. I definitely mean drink.
So I asked her to be my friend on Facebook too. Good Lord, I'm screwed up. But we met each other pre-FB, so I have to see what her statuses are like and see pictures of her kids and husband so that my fantasies can become all that more intricate. I keep checking to see if she has accepted. She hasn't. Maybe she is one of those nice people that can't say no even though they know they should….OR…maybe her facebook status reads: Kirsten hearts Love and she doesn't want me to be her friend because she is embarrassed that I could see it. That makes a lot of sense. That is probably it. For sure.
But I'm going to move my posts on to another subject until Kirsten and I go on our first unicorn ride together in Pleasure Town ad she learns our secret handshake and she comes to the next party I am already planning in my head in her honor. Then I'll tell you all about it. Promise. Unless you have better ideas??

Do more with less effort, what a concept. Here's the how of doing more with less effort: it starts with mindfulness. Practicing mindfulness is so important to thrive in a way that lets us connect to how we feel. Once we figure out how we're feeling, we can act upon it or according to it.
Mindfulness is achieved by slowing down. Slowing down will let us do so much more without the kind of tension that builds when we're caught up in the chaos of reaching a goal. Goal setting is great, but when we're not mindful of the process to reach that goal the tension builds and nothing external is nourished. The idea of the external that needs to be nourished includes our bodies, environment and relationships.
I am unbearably guilty of easily acting mindlessly. It took a couple of serious health complications and unpleasant personal struggles for me to realize I needed to slow down.
Productivity and success aren't measured by how much I can take on. Stress shouldn't be romanticized, it's inflammatory. I don't eat foods that are inflammatory, so why did I think it was okay to make a space for myself where my environment was just as toxic?
If you don't think you can relate to the approach of being a better version of yourself at a less tense pace, I highly suggest you read up on stress levels in pasture-raised hens and eggs. I just read Farmacology by Daphne Miller and something serious clicked about the purpose of community support and the output of my energy.
So, I've been watching MBG's Revitalize online this weekend and of the many talks that inspired me, I want to share something from Dr. Samantha Boardman:
"Happiness isn't a solo event. It's what happens when we connect and support the people around us."
The reciprocation of a support and connect model makes me feel like I'm floating. I love guiding stråla classes because it gives me this feeling, I am so happy after guiding a class it's ridiculous. So, I'm trying to apply this approach of interacting with others into life outside the studio.
Becoming a stråla yoga guide has burned it into my brain that how I am with myself is how I am with others. So while I can support and connect to everyone around me and feel so happy, I also have to connect to how I feel and support those feelings.
When we're so focused on doing the most amount of work at maxium effort to push past limits, it's pretty tough to be mindful. This was me for a long time, isolating myself for the most output. I wasn't mindful of who I gave my time to and there are quite a few relationships I wish I could mend because I was too busy.
We're never too busy, there's always time to create space for yourself and others if we're mindful of the process. Try slowing down and being more mindful at some point this week, it won't hurt.

It's nice of Belacan Girl to treat her hubby for a movie night out. And the movie she chose was Maleficent… a movie we have been looking forward to for a few years now. (Beanie seats too! Yay!)
This is an Angelina Jolie movie. So you have to be ready for that. AJ is perfectly casted as the title character. So much so that it was difficult to cast kids as Aurora; those kids became so scared of Maleficent they had to cast Jolie's own 4 year old daughter Vivienne. (Vivienne of course wasn't scared of her mommy.)
Maleficent is a re-telling of Sleeping Beauty. It's very different from the original. It tells the story from the perspective of Maleficent, who was not as evil as the original story. Every 'evil' character has an interesting background story, so this is the entire premise of the movie. Maleficent became 'Maleficent' because of the terrible things done to her. She started as a kind hearted fairy, but was betrayed by her human best friend Stefan who chopped off her fairy wings to prove he was worthy to become king.
Bitter from the betrayal, she grew darker and darker until one day the new King Stefan had a child. Maleficent gate crashed the celebrations and put a curse upon the baby Aurora. Aurora will prick her finger on a spinning wheel before her 16th birthday and will suffer a sleeping death. Stefan, scared of his own shadow and betrayal, ordered all the spinning wheels be destroyed. The baby Aurora was then taken to a 'hidden' location under the care of the 3 good, but inept, fairies.
Of course, Maleficent sees all and knows all. She keeps a careful watch over Aurora. However, the three fairies have no idea how to take care of a baby, so Maleficent reluctantly takes care of her feeding and well-being using her powers from afar. (The three fairies didn't have a clue) Aurora grew up and sensed that she has a fairy godmother watching over her. One day Maleficent revealed herself to Aurora and they developed a close friendship. Slowly, Maleficent came to love Aurora, and tried to break her own curse without success.
Meanwhile, Stefan grew more and more insane. He correctly predicts that Maleficent will come after him on Aurora's 16th birthday. The curse came into effect, and Aurora, well, fell into a death-like sleep. A guilty Maleficent tried to break the curse by getting a rather stupid prince to kiss Aurora. But it turned out the prince's kiss wasn't from a true love, so Aurora still slumbers. Then, Maleficent cried and kissed Aurora and the princess awoken. Turns out that Maleficent's love for Aurora was true love and it broke the spell.
After all this, Stefan still tried to kill Maleficent. Aurora found and released Maleficent's wings from captivity and they returned to the rightful owner. With her wings back, Maleficent fought back. During a one-on-one fight with Maleficent, Stefan fell and died. The movie ends with Maleficent returning the kingdom into its former glory, while Aurora is restored as the Queen.
This film has many hidden messages. Only fans of Angelina Jolie would understand. 😉
