Gordon Reid, president and chief executive officer, and Don Lato, managing director, equities, Goodreid Investment Counsel Corp.
Best Investment
Don Lato: We bought Apple in the summer of 2006 in the low $60s. We've trimmed it for portfolio management purposes, but we've held it all the way through, and continue to buy it.
Gordon Reid: We run screens for all our stock positions, looking for companies improving on their own history, that rank well against their peer group and have attractive valuations. Apple hit the screens, and we started doing more work.
Mr. Lato: We bought Apple on a valuation basis, but the catalyst we were looking for was increased penetration by Macs into the PC market. At that time, Apple had 3 or 4 per cent of the PC market, so there was a long way to go, and we felt that was going to give the company enough earnings power to more than justify the price.
Mr. Reid: We do like to have the wind at our back, and in the past 20 years we've seen a technology revolution that is allowing that sector to grow at multiples of GDP growth. And we seek out the best in this growing area.
The Return
Mr. Lato: From that initial position in 2006, [our investment]has compounded at about 40 per cent a year in, basically, a market that's down. The S&P 500 index is down about 15 per cent from where it was in June, 2006.
Mr. Reid: This company has grown at a rate that has been quite astounding, and we're very gratified that the stock price has kept pace.
When we bought the stock, it … had earnings of about $2.50 a share. The price has grown fourfold, but the earnings have grown fivefold. So there's more reason to think today there's better value in Apple stock than there was when we first bought it.
Thinking of investing in Apple?
You often hear investment professionals talk about it trading in the 20 to 25 times range. It doesn't. Apple has about $45 a share in cash on the balance sheet, and that cash should be deducted before determining how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earnings. So, by our calculation, it's trading at about 13 or 14 times earnings, extremely cheap for a company that's growing at the rate it is.
Mr. Lato: We continue to make the point to our clients who say, isn't enough enough? We don't think it's enough, because Apple is still a very cheap stock.
Looking Forward
Mr. Reid: At the time we bought it, the iPhone didn't exist, the iPad didn't exist, the App Store didn't exist; next year, over half of Apple's revenue will be from products that didn't exist four years ago.
Mr. Lato: Macs and related products are 41 per cent of total sales, and iPods are still a significant factor at 19 per cent, but iPhones, apps and iPads will go over 50 per cent next year.
Mr. Reid: And the new product lines have very high margins. These are running in excess of 50 per cent gross margins. IPhone is, in fact, about 60 per cent.
Mr. Lato: Margins are that high because Apple, with its cachet, is able to command that price.
Mr. Reid: The iPhone is Apple's dominant product, and the smart phone market is very early cycle.
Industry estimates say that over the next four years, the smart phone market could quadruple in size. So there's a huge opportunity, and we think Apple will get more than its share.
The refresh market plays a big role, too. Apple comes out with an iPhone, a 3G, a 3GS, next will be a 4G, and that's all part of a product cycle.
Mr. Lato: Just as the iPod changed dramatically over its history, so too will the iPhone and the iPad.
The Takeaway
Mr. Lato: Obviously, the stock has exceeded our expectations. But we bought it for the same reasons we buy all our stocks: Apple had good valuations relative to its history, its peer group and its earnings growth, and if you start on that basis, you leave yourself in a position where good things can happen.
Mr. Reid: There's an old adage we like: The prices of stocks are the slaves of earnings. If you have a company that's performing well, executing well, growing well, the stock price will follow.
Mr. Lato: Look at the expected earnings, and what you're paying for them. There are great companies out there that have great potential earnings, but if you're paying too much for them, it's just that much more difficult to make an exceptional return.
Mr. Reid: There are fundamentals and there is what you're paying for those fundamentals. And those two things have to be coupled to make a determination of value.

In reply to:
sally carroll married to john dawson Va.

My lineal ancestors are John C. Dawson and Sally Carroll.
John Dawson was born in 1734 in Amerhst Co. Virginia, died 1804 in Nelson Co. Virginia. This is what I have on him.
Facts about this person:
Fact 1
Hickory Creek
Fact 2 1775
served on Amherst County Revolutionary Committee
Fact 3
served as Capt. of Amherst Militia during the Revolutionary War
Lived 1759
on Carroll Creek
Alt. Lived 1764
Near Faber's Mill
Signer 1776
"Petition of Albemarle & Amherst Dissenters" for the Established Church of England
Funeral 1804
Sermon preached by nephew, Reverend Martin Dawson
From "History of Albemarle County", by Rev. Edgar Woods, 1901, pages 177-178:
As early as 1757, John Dawson, whose wife was Sarah Carroll, was living on the water of Carroll Creek. Did he remove to Amherst, now Nelson, and was he the father of Martin, the well known merchant of Milton? Certain it is, that Martin's father was named John, that his place was in Nelson, not far from Faber's Mills, and that he was the brother of Rev. Martin's father. Martin was one of nine children. He established himself in Milton shortly after it was founded, at first apparently connected with Brown, Rives & Co.; and he continued to be associated with the village, until its business was wholly absorbed by Charlottesville and Scottsville. By his diligence, thrift and good judgement, he amassed a considerable fortune. About 1822 he purchased Bellair on the north side of Hardware below Carter's Bridge, which had before belonged to Charles Wingfield, Jr., and there he made his residence until his death in 1835. He left a will so elaborately idited, that it was twice taken before the Court of Appeals for construction. In his desire to promote popular education, he directed that an academy shoud be established at each of the three places, Milton, Bellair, and his father's old homestead in Nelson; that suitable buildings should be erected both for teachers and scholars; and that their advantages should be assigned in the first place to the boys of Albemarle and Nelson. Having a premonition that these provisions might be adjudged invalid, he directed that in case they were set aside, his property at the places mentioned should be sold, the proceeds transferred to the Literary Fund of the State, and the interest devoted to the cause of education in the two counties specified. The latter bequest was approved by the judgment of the Court. He also prescribed the enclosing of ten acres at the old homestead in Nelson as a family burial place, where he enjoined his own remains to be interred. Besides his private business, he was much employed in that of the county. He was appointed a magistrate in 1806, and frequently occupied a seat on the bench of the County Court. He never married.
A brother, Pleasant Dawson, was the owner of nearly fifteen hundred acres on the lower Hardware. He was engaged in milling operations, in the prosecution of which he was involved in a long litigation with Littlebury Moon. He died unmarried in 1826. A sister, Nancy, was the wife of Rev. Hugh White, a Baptist minister, who was for a time a lot holder both in Charlottesville and Milton.
Research done by Mary Roy Hedian.Sources for her report are done mainly four DAR Papers, one SAR Paper, a research paper by Mary Roy (Dawson) Hedian, and correspondence with descendants, and the Charles Carroll Dawson book.

Mixing efficiency and energy consumption for five generic microchannel designs
Mixing is an essential part of chemical processes. In the present work, homogeneous mixing at relatively high throughput for a single microchannel (of 1-18 mL/min) was investigated in microchannels with different dimensions, cross sections and mixing elements (with and without structured internal surface). A method based on the Villermaux-Dushman reaction was employed and the intensity of segregation was determined. Further, simulations were carried out to investigate the mixing time and the effectiveness of different microchannels. The data obtained for mixing time was correlated in terms of specific power dissipation which can be used for a priori predictions of mixing in microchannels. The results show that a microchannel with structured internal surface shows better performance in terms of mixing efficiency which has to be paid by high energy consumption. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

As of todays writing (335), Project 365 has tallied 72,809 feet of vertical gain. I am excited to approach todays question regarding how Diabetes interferes with climbing. The truth is that I don't think it does. I think that there are always a million reasons not to place ourselves in a position of challenge or uncertainty, but that is just life and human nature. Diabetes is quite simply a reason–either a reason to get after it and be strong, or a reason to say 'the hell with it' and stop trying.
I was recently asked if I felt like Project 365 has been a success in terms of raising awareness and empowering people with Diabetes. I believe that the essence of this project has been to really hammer home the idea that Diabetes is simply a reason and that what it prompts us to do is our choice.

Flexibility. Flexibility. Flexibility.
While there are many ways to improve your flexibility (e.g. after working out or turning up to post-workout stretches), there's one thing in this world that can help you be more flexible, agile and in a good way, stretchy like Spiderman.
Say hello to yoga!
Yoga is probably one of the things that has helped me improve so many aspects in my life. It has made me better in my trainings, helped me progress positively when it comes to lifting and in a lot of ways prevent me from injuring myself considering the amount of high intensity training I do. Because of that, I'm a believer.
While I may not be a yogaxpert (you know, yoga expert… totally made that up), I believe in balance. I believe in doing things that makes me happy and at the same time improve my physical and mental well-being. And I believe that if something has helped me in some ways to make me better, I will try my best to do it and improve my technique.
That said, I have zero clue about breathing techniques, I don't have any more knowledge about yoga types and poses than probably my own readings and research, and unfortunately I can't comment on posture and form.
So if you do want to learn more about yoga, I recommend sources like this and this. But if you want to learn how I have personally used yoga to help me with my trainings and quality of life PLUS a sample of some poses I personally do, read on. :)
Perhaps you know that Yoga is a Sanskrit word and it means union.
But bet you didn't know this — Yoga started as an oral tradition where the knowledge and practice is transmitted to the student by the teacher through theoretical teachings to give guidance on how to master the mind, emotions and spiritual growth. Imagine going to a yoga class and instead of having mats and yoga blocks, you have a whiteboard and a marker. Hmm.
It wasn't until many years later that these teachings were put into practise and the first form of yoga is the hatha, a vehicle developed for meditation was born.
Pretty impressive, huh?
In the present world, yoga is a series of body movements and poses that is done in sequence to help improve multiple parts of your body, along with breathing and calmness of mind.
Sounds great? Good.
I know I've heard at least 12 different styles and types of yoga. Don't believe me? Pick up a timetable at your yoga class, that's enough to turn a once beginner like me off.
I have to agree it is confusing. Say you really just want to do yoga. You walk into this really awesome yoga studio, pick up a timetable and then start to hyperventilate seeing all these different names of classes. Worse, not even one says yoga.
Another bloop?
Here's an early conversation I had with a friend many years ago even before I started exercising.
Me: Heard you picked up yoga. Can I come to your next class?
Friend: Sure! You can join me for Ashtanga tomorrow night.
Me: Hmm what's that? I just want to do yoga.
Friend: It is a type of yoga. There's Hatha if you want to try. And maybe one day you can go for a Power one!
Me: (ROAAAARRRRR!)
It does get a little intimidating. But fret not because let me introduce SOME basic ones I've managed to try and pick out over these years. In my own words here they are…
First we have Hatha, a generic term that refers to any type of yoga that introduces physical postures. It's highly unlikely you'll work up a sweat and it's great for beginners as an introduction.
Next up, we have Vinyasa. Very similar to Ashtanga (mentioned above and explained below) where your instructor will introduce movement intensive poses choreographed smoothly and fluidly. The first time I went for a Vinyasa, I almost cried.
Ashtanga in my opinion is the bigger (and meaner) cousin of Vinyasa, fluid movements and very choreographed. The difference is that you repeat the same poses in Ashtanga so it makes it harder. If Vinyasa is circuit style training, Ashtanga is your typical super or giant sets. And yes, that makes it harder. Also known as Power Yoga.
Bikram yoga is then similar to Ashtanga where the sequence is set and repetitive only this time you're in a heated room! I don't know about you but the idea of yoga plus a hot room is not my cup of tea. I turned up for it once and I never really want to do it again.
Hot yoga. See above. (Just like Bikram, but in a hotter room with slightly different sequence).
Iyengar. Iyengar focuses on proper alignment and posture. Students, with the help of an instructor will find their position using yoga props. Think blocks, ropes, blankets. It's not as intense as Ashtanga and Vinyasa and you'll definitely won't sweat like the good ol' hot yoga class but if you have preexisting injuries and medical conditions, this is the one you should look at.
Finally we have Restorative yoga. If your colleague ever came up to you saying how she slept through most of her yoga class, then perhaps she went for this one. It's relaxing, it calms your mind and it's like going for a good massage. Did someone say nap time?!
There are a lot more styles right out the book but these are the more common ones and those that I have personally tried. Be confuse no more and turn up to that yoga studio like a boss.
If you think the yoga styles are crazy confusing, wait till you hear this — there are over thousands of yoga poses and variations. A little scary right? But there are also over 35 ways to do the squats and over 80 different types of push-ups so it's not that bad.
Yoga poses can be divided into six categories — standing poses, backbends, forward bends, seated and twists, core, arm balances, balances, restorative and upside-down. If you attend any of the yoga classes above, chances are your instructor will go through poses in a few or all of these categories and each pose has different variations from absolute beginners to super advanced.
The good thing about that is this: Anyone, and I mean really anyone can do yoga. Even if you've scraped flexibility off your dictionary a long time ago.
If you're worried about that, now you don't have to anymore. But if you're still not convinced, here are some reasons why you should add yoga to your repertoire.
Fitness is not a a single-dimensional realm and we all know that. We're familiar with it and we practise it day in and out. We have strength training where we go until your muscles burn and fail, cardio where we go until we can't breathe anymore and other fitness trends like HIIT and plyometrics where we go until we vomit.
Yoga is there for you to go until you treat yourself, your body and your mind right so it has a chance to repair itself.
If you're working hard to achieve any fitness goals, doing different types of strength training, some cardio and probably a day of HIIT, sneak in one session of yoga a week to help your body wind down after the storm. You can't go intense forever. Just like us when it comes to sleeping, our body needs the time to rest too.
If that's still not convincing enough, here are some benefits of yoga you may or may not have heard:
– Overall health and wellness. Oms aside, turn up to a yoga class and leave feeling peaceful and tranquil. It doesn't matter if you can't even reach out to touch your toes, in the chaos world we all live in, it's nice to just tuck away into a quiet room for an hour and clear your mind.
– It makes you stronger. Powerlifters, strength trainers and anyone who ever does any form of weight training raise up your hand! If you really want to improve your 1RM and overall strength, try yoga. By holding on to a pose for longer than 5 seconds, you're forcing the muscles to hold on. While it may not hypertrophy, your slow twitch muscles are working hard to build strength. I owe it to yoga for helping me in my lifting and I think you should give it a chance too.
– It improves your core, posture and prevents injuries. Ever wondered why so many of us have back pain? It's simple. We spend hours on our desks, head tilted forward and back rounded, and we do nothing or the very least of things to work against that. Holding on to a pose long enough forces you to switch on your core muscles, which over time lead to a better posture, which also, over time prevent injuries in our later years. Don't wait till it's too late to do something about it.
– Alleviate stress, fatigue and injury, and helps manages pain. There are growing research that uses yoga as an alternative therapy for minor ailments such as headaches, common lower back pain and major ones such as arthritis.
– Gives you an alternative if you hate stretching. I've worked with clients who dislikes stretching after a workout. They say it's a waste of time, and they'd rather go home and get a post-workout meal in. Fair enough. But don't skimp on it for too long. While one session of yoga a week might not be enough to replace regular post-workout stretches, it's still better than nothing.
There you go. Stop asking why, and maybe give it a try.
I'm sick of being overweight. I'm going to do yoga!
Sounds familiar? It did to me sometime ago.
While I wouldn't say yoga has any direct correlation to weight loss, practising yoga on a regular basis can help you achieve all those amazing things above to help you lose weight with more grace, strength and flexibility!
How? It makes you stronger so you'll actually have more energy for your workouts. It wards off minor ailments such as migraines and stress which is some of the common reasons why people skip workouts. And it keeps you happy which is, let's face it, something we actually need more of.
So if you're trying to lose weight, add in a session or two of yoga a week. But don't make that your only type of workout, just like how you shouldn't make cardio or strength or HIIT the only one in your regime.
You can hurt yourself even walking down the road, brother!
Think doing a 300lb overhead press is dangerous? Yoga is dangerous too, but only if you don't use your brain. Like everything else in life, think before you do something. In other words, don't attempt something advanced if you have never done any yoga before. Start at your level and work your way through.
Like I've mentioned before, all poses has a variation for the absolute beginner which makes it easier for anyone to pick it up.
You're in for a treat because I have prepared some straight-forward little yoga moves for you to try today, in your living room, no equipments required. I add yoga into my weekly sessions because it gives me an excuse to wind down and it's fun! I'm a self practitioner, with zero professional training, only because I move countries a lot and I haven't found a proper yoga place to go to.
If you're curious about how it feels doing yoga, follow this small little workout I've put up for you. It's a mix of Vinyasa and Ashtanga so you might even work up a sweat. Hold on each pose for thirty seconds and if you're doing the left, don't forget the right side. You're welcome!
1. Standing forward bends. Give those hamstrings a stretch and don't sweat it if you can't reach your toes. Put your hands on the shin or knees!
2. Standing half forward bends.
3. Cobra pose. Those with lower back problems might find this hard. Skip if it hurts. Be smart!
4. Transition into downward dog. Your body should make a V. Mine's not perfect but I'm working on it!
5. One-legged downward dog.
6. Knee to forehead. Don't sweat it if you can't bring your knees to the forehead.
7. Crescent pose. The heels of your back foot stays up.
8. Warrior one. Like crescent pose, but your heels drop to the ground.
9. Warrior two.
10. Reverse warrior.
11. Triangle pose.
Intermediate poses.
12. Side angle pose. Your front leg should be bent and be perpendicular to the ground. Mine can obviously improve.
13. Bound side angle pose. Grab your hands from the back while on the side angle pose. This is tough, and it hurts.
Balance poses.
14. Tree.
15. Dancer pose.
16. Chair twist.
17. Side arm balance. This requires coordination and strength, and massive balance.
18. Bridge.
19. Wheel. This is an advanced pose so don't try unless you have experience.
20. Crane. Took me about one year to hold this position for THREE seconds. I can only go for just under ten now, but this is not easy.
21. Seated hamstring stretch. Finish up with this one and you're good!
Not flexible?
That's awesome. More reasons to do yoga. Just show up.
For ladies? Seriously?
While yoga is traditionally more widely practised amongst the ladies, many men has found the benefits of it and I've seen muscular, aesthetic men doing them. It adds to their strength and performance — why complain? Just do it!
Petite people? Seriously?
Last I checked, I'm not petite. And don't get me started with body image. You're perfect and you can do yoga!
Those poses above are just a sampler. If you're really serious into trying yoga out, go check out some classes. There are some awesome yoga videos and channels around YouTube too and if you're a hardcore yogi, say hi by leaving a comment below (and I apologise for my lack of technique).
I'm trying. And I am working on improving my techniques.
You should too. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. Life's way more awesome that way.
Now tell me, what's your experience with yoga? How flexible are you? Have you tried any type of yoga at all? Leave a comment below. I'd love to know! :)
Have an yogexcellent week!

We all like to talk. This is not always good. It is often good to stop talking. Don't re-iterate what the person said. Don't overdo it on the paraphrase. If you agree, nod your head. Say "it makes sense". Say "Great". Stop talking.
Getting the last word. There are people everywhere who talk too much. When you have a conversation with them, they will try and get the last word in. When there is nothing more to say, they will paraphrase what your said.
- I completely agree, blah, blah
- My thoughts exactly, blah blah
- Sure, I think what you are saying is blah blah
Stop the blah, blah. Those are all wasted words. Listening means not talking. Listening means letting them own parts of the conversation and letting thoughts flow.
Cutting people off when they are talking is a bad habit. Something I am personally working on. It stops the train of the other person's thought, is disrespectful, and honestly pretty ineffective; It takes more time to get each side's point across. Overly paraphrasing, and repeating back what someone just said is also a "lack of listening."
We are agreeing violently. This happens to me at least once a week. I will stop the conversation / discussion / debate and say, "I think we are agreeing violently." At which time, the other person usually pauses and thanks me for that reality check.
When the customer has bought, shut up. From sales training, they teach you to shut-up once the customer has decided to buy. More times than not, if the sales person keeps talking. . . they essentially will "un-sell" the product.
Caveat: Of course, paraphrase when needed. When you really do want to clarify instructions, or make sure you heard things right, ask. Definitely ask.
What you don't want to do (and I see this all the time) is repeat back what the other person is saying so that you get the last word in, sound smart, own the conversation, or like to hear your own voice. If you agree, stop talking.

The past 30 days has been fantastic for Gilead Sciences stock. Last month I purchased 50 shares of Gilead because the stock had been beaten down by two primary factors; an overall market dip, and the Democratic Party agenda. Things seem to have cooled down on the politics side which has help Gilead stock rise from my purchase price of $96.93 to today's price of $109.75. This is 13.2% stock appreciation in less than a month. Today I sold 40 shares of Gilead Sciences (GILD) at $109.75, totaling $4,390.08. My net profit from this transaction is $356.38.
Why Sell Gilead Sciences
Why sell? I am a huge fan of Biotech and Gilead in particular. I owned 100 shares of Gilead prior to making my latest purchase of 50 shares. When I made the purchase I mentioned in my post that my portfolio became too heavy with Biotech stocks. I planned on either selling the stock on the rebound or buying more stock to offset the lopsidedness of my portfolio. I chose to sell because I don't want to buy just yet. I believe there will be good deals in the near future because interest rate hike rumors are once again floating around. I'll look to buy more stocks in late November, early December if the market dips. Stocks on my radar are EMR, KMI, VTR, DOV, IBM, TD, and BNS.
For the record I am very long GILD. I sold to level my portfolio. Today I own 110 shares at a cost basis of $98.46 per share, at the current market value of $12,154. GILD a great stock to use for covered calls. I do and intend to continue selling calls on GILD to reduce my cost basis.
What stocks are on your radar? Are you investing now or waiting on interest rates? Do you own GILD?

Pagination not working
I am using the GFWA plugin on the SP Lifestyle Gen child theme. I have selected "show with pagination" and "work with pagination" within the plugin and updated the settings as well. The pagination shows at the bottom of the posts on the home page, however when they are clicked you reach the Error 404 page.
I tried using the solution found in this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-genesis-featured-widget-amplified-pagination-not-working?replies=6 but that still didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I haven't baked much of anything for the past few years unless a birthday or special occasion required it. It isn't that I no longer enjoy baking; I consider it a relaxing activity — especially when I can take my time and get involved in the process. Redirected habits are primarily to blame for why I no longer fire up my oven as much as I used to, but I miss it and enough time has passed that I've managed to try a few new recipes. A Dorset Apple Cake, for starters. Of course this was inspired by our last trip.
Tag Archives: honeycrisp apples
Baked Apple Dumplings with Sweet Browned Butter Sauce
I think the first time I tried to make an apple dumpling I was about 26, give or take a year. I don't remember cooking much during that particular time in my life, but what I did cook has stayed with me — for better or worse. A successful pot of chili verde qualifies as one of my better accomplishments, and apple dumplings one of my worst.
Green Salad with Blood Oranges, Apples, and Hazelnuts
I have a page torn from the October 2010 issue of Cooking Light that has been in and around various rooms in our house. I see it most when I'm not interested in it, wedged between food magazines stacked at the end of the sofa, sticking out from between the pages of one of the cookbooks I've been leafing through, or inserted next to the telephone with take-out menus and reminders of dentist appointments. The now wrinkled page is from The Hungry Traveler section and sports a recipe on each of its sides, but I have paid little attention to one of them because the salad is what originally caught my eye. It had all the right flavors in it for what I thought was a special occasion salad — one served on a holiday. I suppose it caught my eye because I'd been making a salad somewhat like it for years, but there was a bit of a different spin on this one, and so I tore it out before tossing the magazine in one of my manic magazine thinning moments.
I've never been able to completely understand how this happens. So many bits and pieces of our lives are tucked here and there — or not — and are so much more important, yet are lost. We took the time to put them in a special pile of special things so we could put a finger on them in a second when needed, priding ourselves for our organizational skills. But when we need them, we can't find them. Clearly, a file folder isn't our idea of being organized. Perhaps I should rethink the entire thing, allowing the important things to also slip between magazines or beneath the sofa, trusting that when needed, they'd miraculously appear.
So why this salad?
I think it was the dressing. I'm always ready to try something light and flavorful, but different than our usual citrus vinaigrette — if you can call it that. We squeeze citrus over our salads before drizzling extra virgin olive oil and call it dressing. But once in a while, I do enjoy actually making dressing and this one included dried apricots. When I first read it, I thought the apricots were mixed into the salad because that's what I've done over the years — their bit of sweetness mixed with the other ingredients is wonderful. I was wrong, and when I finally looked carefully realized the apricots are blended in.
What a delicious difference.
I suppose I should be thankful the torn page has not been lost or I'd have never realized my mistake. And I'd throw it in the trash at this point, but the recipe on the other side has finally gotten my attention, so I know I'll have to make that soon to relieve the poor page from its duty.
Apple Tart Alsatian Style
You've promised your body that you will adopt a healthier lifestyle — something just shy of a "diet" because you know yourself too well. If what you've taken on is reduced to that, it's probably not going to last because you don't believe in diets — and for good reason. You've seen too many people begin with all the motivation they can muster, then when they realize the pounds aren't falling off as quickly as they'd like, or that after what is considered a good effort, they've plateaued, motivation dwindles and the "diet" is quietly ignored. I can't risk that because my knees will never forgive me for having to carry around 50 pounds they hadn't counted on at their age.
Poor knees.
Last September when I began to think about more obsessively about my weight and lack of routine exercise (no coincidence since I'd just turned 55) I began to find reasons to avoid the kitchen. Meals became food I could easily pick up and eat with little or no thought. I stopped looking at new recipes and rarely used one to try something new for dinner. And baking? I stopped that almost completely because it seemed pointless to bake something, taste it, then try to find a home for it outside of mine. I've never been a big sweets eater, but I thoroughly enjoy spending a morning in the kitchen baking something — especially if it involves a little thought or teaches me something new. I miss that and know baking needs to be a part of my life — as does dessert.
Dessert is a food group, isn't it?
I'm kidding, of course, but the point is I want to bake and enjoy dessert occasionally so have to find a balance with desserts that showcase a simple fruit without a lot of added sugar or an excessive amount of fat, for example.
Something classic, satisfying. Elegant, but not fussy.
With apples.
Glorious apples.
Just a small slice?
Yes, please.

What makes you Happy?
Recently, I have been reading a book by a Harvard professor Dan Gilbert– the book is called
Stumbling on Happiness.
He explains when asked what makes people happy they typically don't answer correctly.
There are 3 traps that we fall into, unwittingly making yourself unhappy.
1– Postponing happiness. The when I (fill in the blank), I will be happy syndrome. Happiness isn't something we can acquire in the future. You are either happy now or not; because "then" never gets here.
I loved his quote: "NOW is the only time you have to be happy. If you can't be happy now, you most certainly wont be happy later."
2– Spending our lives hoping to make others happy. We all know that other people can't make us happy why do we think WE can make others happy?
3– The last happiness trap we fall into is contrast. Typically people judge their happiness by the illusion of what they think gives others happiness. We only know how to judge something by comparing it to something else or others.
Prof. Gilbert believes that bottom line happiness creates. It is not derived from the outside; it is only derived from within. It's a state of mind that we choose.
I am firm believer that no matter our circumstance there is always something to be grateful for.
Having an attitude for Gratitude is my goal. Of course my camera assists me and often I am able to savor the moment and revisit.
This time of season when people ask me what my New Years Resolutions are– I simply reply that my goal is to live in the moment. Find the joy, the passion and contentment in my life this moment and enjoy my Happiness.
What makes you happy?
I would love for you to share…
As always — visit Beverly at Pink Saturday.
And… Mary at Little Red house on Monday.
May you ring in the near year with joy and happiness! 🙂
See you next year! (I love saying that!)
PS — thanks for the patience on my programing of this post. Ughh.. techie I am NOT!

Happy New Year!
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon
Love the picture of the figurines!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year and Pink Saturday, Char
Happy New Year Claudia Sweetie…
What a gorgeous share. I love the little couple.
They are so cute bundled up on that little sled.
Love the snowflakes in the background as well.
Love the touches of pink love against their
Winter white color. So beautiful.
I have so enjoyed blogging with you this year.
You are such a wonderful treasure sweetie, and
each time you post it is a special gift of love. I
can't wait to see what 2011 brings for us.
I so wanted to talk to you this year, but my voice
is still pretty bad. I am not sure you could understand
me. I am slowly moving out into the world, some days
I do better than others.
I wish love, peace and joy for you sweet Claudia. May God
richly bless you and your family this New Year 2011. You
have certainly made mine richer.
Many hugs and SO much love, Sherry
oops, never mind my email to you – i just refreshed the page and it loaded correctly. sigh…a techie I am not either…but, we are still happy. =0)
I am back Claudia … what a FABULOUS share … very moving, realistic & tender.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful provoking thoughts. I still love your figurines, tho.
Hugs, HAPPY NEW YEAR ~
What a great post! I have chosen HAPPY to be my One Little Word for 2011. Please stop by to read my post about it.
I loved your post and I agree wholeheartedly with the author's interpretation of the happiness trap. I loved your picture of the figurines! Have a wonderful New Year.
Hugs, LisaKay
What a neat p0st! Happy New Year:@)
Sounds like a wonderful book. I'm going to see if my library might have it. Your snow pictures are beautiful!
Wishing you a blessed and happy New Year!
Sherry @ A Happy Valentine
Words to live by. Your winter collage is beautiful. Just looking at it induces a feeling of peace.
I wish you a happy, healthy new year.
Your Friend,
#1-That I am forgiven. #2- that I try to forgive myself and others. I loved your post. Have a Happy Pink New Year.
I loved your post as I truly believe one is totally responsible for their own happiness by appreciating the simple, beautiful, and gentler things in life. Not that there are not outside influences or circumstances that weigh in on us at times, but just generally having a positive outlook and yes, living and appreciating the moments and people in life that are truly meaningful. Happy New Year and Happy Pink Saturday!
Thank you for infusing beauty into my life everyday! Your photos truly make me happy and I don't have the opportunity to comment as often as I would like! I have read that wonderful book and love the way you have summed it up in your wishes for 2011. Happiness is something that we all deserve and should just relax a bit and enjoy being!!
Wishing you many hours of joy, passion and contentment xOxO Nerina
Wonderful post! Happy New Year!
Going to look for that book. Thank you for sharing. Happy Pink New Years!
Dearest Claudia,
It is always a joy to meet new people that either come to me, or that I discover myself. Thank you for leaving a comment on my BLUE POST….no, unfortunately, I did not take all of those pictures in the header. Those are all from TUMBLR! But blue is a happy color, and how ironic that you should be posting on happiness. I do believe that HAPPINESS comes from within us, that eternal JOYOMETER that God has given us Himself, but that we need to cultivate. Love is the only answer for our doubts and grumpy moments….your prof was right…
I wish you a most happy 2011 and I REALLY DO HOPE that our paths cross this year! Anita
marvelous post -thanks for writing.
First I want to say Happy New Year! I totally agree with those points. I think I came to terms with lots of impressions on this subject when I turned 50. I read a great book by Kim McMillan. That was the year that I discovered the only person I can truly make happy is myself. Being grateful is key, and acceptance is another biggy. Accepting people around us as they are and accepting our strengths and weaknesses. The most important thing is to live in the moment and literally take one day at a time. It's always great to have a positive inner voice, which gives no room for worry anxiety or anything unpleasant. Having faith in God and knowing that He loves us is the happiest medicine of all!
Wishing you the best New Year ever!
What a great post! Love your blog. I'll be back to visit again!
Tracy (whirlygirl/picture winter)
These blue images are gorgeous btw…
Blessings Dena
Such beauty in your images and words. Happy New Year!
A lot of good points here! Hope you have a happy new year!
Interesting post on happiness. Your mosaic photos are gorgeous.
Claudia, this is a wonderful post! I hope you don't mind but I am going to share your words on a post and will definitely let everyone know who said them and invite them to visit you. Your pictures are amazing and…so…..cold! brrrrrrr….I am freezing with just a teeny bit of snow in Southern Utah and our temps have been low 30's and upper 20's! For the desert, that is cold! Have a Happy New Year!
A wonderful post, Claudia! I am with you, live for the moment. I wish you all the best in 2011 and a very Healthy and HAPPY New Years.
Your mosaic is so striking. Hope 2011 is a wonderful year for you!
Great post!
Happy New Year!!
Since January 1st 2010 -- I have been celebrating finding Beauty in our every day lives. Stay in the Day... be in the moment. Don't wait to live your life.
Stop and make a habit to find the Beauty and you will be amazed at how Beautiful your life is. Be thankful and remember:
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Dyer

WASHINGTON – With a landmark vote approaching Thursday on whether Britain will leave the European Union, two recent events highlighted the stakes and the unique Britishness of the "Brexit" debate.
Last Wednesday, in what Britons took to calling the Battle of the Thames, both sides sent flag-waving flotillas down the river to advertise their cause. The "Leave" campaign blasted the theme song from "The Great Escape" from Westminster Bridge, and Bob Geldof, a prominent campaigner in the "Remain" campaign, bellowed facts about fishing from boat-mounted speakers.
The next day, a man fatally shot and stabbed a member of Parliament, Jo Cox, who supported staying in the EU. The man shouted, "My name is death to traitors, freedom for Britain," at a court appearance Saturday. The killing has shocked the country and drawn attention to the increasingly heated national debate.
This is much more than a vote on membership in a 28-nation bloc. It is about national and social identity, Britain's place in the world and the future of the European project.
Q. What is Brexit?
A. A portmanteau of the words "Britain" and "exit," it is the nickname for a British exit of the EU after Thursday's referendum asking voters: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?"
The debate leading up to the vote is playing out, however, as a broader choice over which national values to prioritize.
Pro-Brexit advocates have framed leaving the EU as necessary to protect, or perhaps restore, the country's identity: its culture, independence and place in the world. This argument is often expressed by opposition to immigration.
"Remain" supporters typically argue that staying in the union is better for the British economy and that concerns about migration and other issues are not important enough to outweigh the economic consequences of leaving.
Q. What is the case for leaving?
A. A lot is implied in one of the campaign's slogans, "Take control." Britain's loss of full authority over its economic policies and regulations has so rankled many of the country's citizens that it has spawned an entire genre of urban legends over the years, called "Euromyths."
These stories usually feature some aspect of classically British culture that is supposedly under threat. One claimed that double-decker buses were to be banned, while another suggested that fish and chips would have to be written in Latin on menus.
Then there is immigration. A 2013 British Social Attitudes Survey found that more than three-quarters of Britons want the country's immigration policies reduced, and about 56 percent said they should be reduced "a lot."
Q. What is the case for staying?
A. What is most striking about the "Remain" campaign is what it has not done: countered the arguments for leaving. Rather than defending the EU or immigration as good for Britain, the campaign warns that leaving would be disastrous for the British economy.
Most economists agree with that claim. Europe is Britain's most important export market and its greatest source of foreign direct investment, and union membership has been crucial to establishing London as a global financial center. A British exit would jeopardize that status – and the high-paying jobs that come with it.
Q. What will happen to Britain if it leaves?
A. Projections differ significantly over the precise economic effect, but there is a consensus that leaving would hurt Britain financially, at least in the short term.
Without access to the union's open markets, Britain would probably lose trade and investment. And while the influx of migrant workers has created anxiety over British culture and identity, losing that labor force could lead to lower productivity, slower economic growth and decreased job opportunities, a study by Britain's National Institute of Economic and Social Research found.
Q. What are the wider ramifications?
A. Britain makes up about a sixth of the EU's economy. A Brexit, Klaas said, "would be akin to California and Florida being lopped off the U.S. economy."
That destabilization could affect the U.S. economy: Last week, the Federal Reserve in Washington cited the possibility of a Brexit as a reason not to raise interest rates.
There could be political consequences. If Britain leaves the EU, that could give momentum to the nationalistic, anti-migrant message and policies of far-right parties that are rising across Europe.

Different wood weighs different amounts, and of course a bigger piece of wood will weigh more than a small piece. You can find out the weight of wood by visiting your local lumber yard, or researching on the Internet.

text: I couldn't just sit here thinking about it so I went into action. I went in her bedroom and took down the last of the pictures and packed away all the mementoes. Went to the mall and got a new comforter on sale and stopped at the paint store and got paint. It's going from deep lavender walls and black and white zebra print accessories to light blue walls and blue/white/yellow comforter. After I'm finished with that I will replace the carpeting. First I have to fix all the holes she put in the walls. So this is what will keep me busy until I can get past all the hurt. She is now smoking spice in addition to the pot and drinking non-stop. I got the insurance cancelled today without a problem. And now that I know just about everything I need to know I will delete her screen name from my aol so I won't be able to read her emails. God help her because I cannot any longer. Nancy

text: Introductory short courses in instructional computing will be offered in February by the Computing and Communications Services Office. This is an opportunity for faculty members, graduate assistants and other instructional support staff to become familiar with some aspects of instructional computing, to sample some of the available courseware, and to get a feel for what would be involved in producing instructional software of their own. The classes are primarily hands-on introductions to two of the most popular instructional authoring packages, HyperCard on the Apple Macintosh and ToolBook on IBM-compatible computers. The class featuring HyperCard will be offered from 3 to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Feb. 9. It will be repeated in a slower-paced all-day workshop May 15. The class emphasizing ToolBook will meet from 3 to 5 p.m. Feb. 13 and 15. A day-long workshop version will be offered May 17. Major topics covered in each include a perspective on instructional computing (background, analysis, design), elements of navigating and using the example authoring package, "test- driving" and evaluating existing instructional materials, and a glimpse of authoring and scripting new courseware using the example package. The maximum enrollment in each class is 20. There is a small fee for each but no prerequisites beyond basic computer literacy. Those interested in participating should contact Ron Szoke, 333- 8630 or e-mail to email@example.com, for more information or registration forms.
