I use this saw to beat inflation.
However don't expect that wealth to be equally or fairly distributed. There are plenty of reasons why those on fixed incomes can become poorer.
Take for example, the US infrastructure spending over the next four years. This can be a bad deal for those on a fixed income.
Current predictions are that this building, accompanied by tax reductions at the upper end, will add 6 trillion dollars of US debt. Adding debt financed infrastructure is good only if the improvements adds enough productivity to pay off the debt. If not, the spending creates inflation. Rising costs are bad for those who depend on pensions.
The world is in a technology transition. The demand that is growing fastest is virtual. Spending is likely to be on bricks and mortar. This is compared to developing more WalMarts when all the shopping growth is at Amazon.com or building new post offices just before the internet came into use.
Here is a real example. When we first moved to Naples, Florida in the 1970s Merri and I had a powerful computer. This was a big deal back then and it allowed us to become an official post office internet center. The idea was that if someone wanted to send an email to someone without a computer, they would send it to us. We would print it and the recipient would pick it up from us physically. That system really missed the mark!
We do not know what new productivity innovations lay ahead and creating six trillion in debt on infrastructure of the past will not create more real wealth. There will be some jobs created but the added income will be offset by higher costs because the incomes created will be paid for from debt. This debt is ours, the public's, as in you and me. In the bigger picture, this spending is akin to borrowing money from the bank and treating the loans as if they are earnings.
Those who will prosper most are the wealthy, the owners of the big construction businesses who enjoy added tax breaks while the middle class, especially those on fixed income, pick up a greater share of the tax burden and higher cost of living for essential goods.
How do we gain protection?
We can have multiple ways to create extra income. Try new things that you enjoy doing that can work in good times and bad.
Don't worry about making huge profits. Keep trying things that you want to do. For example at our farm in NC, we added three sources of extra income Airbnb rentals, raising trout and creating wood products (using hand tools like the saw above). Some will take off, others probably won't but each contributes to the battle against inflation and most important, we enjoy the process. Some of the skills developed would be really valuable if there is a big economic meltdown. We hope that meltdown will never come, but because there are scenarios where the global economy could go south, we sleep better having these enjoyable skills.
This is a way to become a Pruppie and turn passions into profit.
See more on Pruppieism below.
Live Anywhere – Earn EverywhereA huge economic struggle is taking place.
The hazard began with the Bayer Monsanto merger. Recent verdicts against Roundup have accelerated the risk.
Bayer shares have fallen dramatically due to the merger especially after an award of more than $2 billion in damages to a couple who alleged that the company's glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup caused their cancers.
This third loss-in-a-row by Bayer in U.S. courts and highest award to date has put the company in a tailspin. It 13,400 more such lawsuits and shareholders have rebuked Bayer's top management over its handling of the Monsanto acquisition and this litigation. The chart below shows how this has wiped over half of Bayer's market value .
See up to date Bayer chart at www.finance.yahoo.com
Bayer's struggle to protect itself can create disaster in almost every part of our lives, from food to our pets to our medicine.
The battle could destroy what's left of our privacy, the safety of our food supply, the control over our health, the safety of our money and even the sanctity of our opinions and thoughts could be lost.
Markets and social order can collapse at any time. Schools, businesses, post offices, any public place, are not safe from shooters on the rampage. Streets are in danger of terrorists ramming their cars into riders on bikes. We are no longer safe… in shopping centers, at festivals, even in church.
Yet the bigger danger grows and the struggle is taking place, right now.
You can read about tiny parts of this conflict daily in the news. Most of the clash however is hidden from view. There are horrible consequences hidden beneath the visible spin.
There is an association forming that can ruin our health care, nutrition and the environment. This group an control what you read on the internet, see all the words in our phone calls, watch what we see on TV and slant the trends we learn about in social media.
Everything you write or say can be recorded and used to control what you hear and read.
The warning shot, above the surface, was the merger between Bayer and Monsanto.
Bayer and Monsanto each have each developed poisons that are harsh on our ecosystem.
The merger of the two firms should have been stopped to ensure human and planetary survival.
But these massive companies have invested so much into lobbying and financing political campaigns that they have the ability to shape political systems to their own end.
Scientific studies found that neonicotinoid pesticides made by Bayer have almost eradicated some bird populations and flying insects.
These pesticides, along with Monsanto's toxic herbicide Roundup, have delivered a one-two punch against butterflies, honeybees and birds. Roundup has also been linked to over 40 human diseases, including cancer.
But both the US and the European Union approved the $66 billion merger of Bayer and Monsanto. This union not only increases the potential of adding toxic poison to the environment but also gives this giant form control over genetically modified (GMO) seeds that have reduced seed diversity globally.
This union is horrible enough, yet it's only the tip of the iceberg.
Seven companies are involved in a more sinister plot.
The momentum of this dangerous alliance has picked up faster than anticipated.
I began researching and preparing a report "Learn Anywhere, Earn Everywhere" when the Bayer-Monsanto merger was the big deal. They were two of the seven firms involved in this almost invisible take-over of our food and medical services as well as the internet, cell phones and TV.
I started researching when I saw the hidden depths of this Bayer-Monsanto merger. I was truly concerned and shocked because my research discovered that the consolidation of Bayer and Monsanto is not the biggest merger nor the most dangerous by far.
Due to the urgency created by the Roundup lawsuits I have miscalculated how much time we have. I went to work on the report right away, taking my time to delve deeply, but even before I have finished the report, events have begun to heat up. The pace of this hidden unification has increased. Now another merger is taking place, far more destructive and the alliance has an incredible lobby program working to make sure that the deal goes through.
A triad of three huge concerns and four smaller ones with hundreds of billions of dollars have built one of the most formidable lobbying operations in Washington. Nearly 100 registered lobbyists are already on retainer and they include former members of Congress. One company in this heptagon is also the largest donor to federal lawmakers.
The donations we know of equal more than $11 million paid to 374 of the House's 435 members and 85 of the Senate's 100 members in this election cycle.
This deadly seven point affiliation is likely to snake into almost every part of our livelihood.
One part of the cartel will increase our dependence on modified food that can purposely increase our needs for pharmaceuticals manufactured and sold at outrageous prices by another arm of the group.
The organizations will know more about us than any other group in existence. They will (in fact they already are) act as spies for the government. This amalgamation will control what ads we see, the products we buy, listen into our phone calls and even monitor and influence what we see on TV.
Sadly most of the public will not even know that this fusion has taken place. Life will appear to go on as normal. They won't even see the change as what's left of their good life which could be drained away by corporate malfeasance.
This is why I am rushing a report to you so you can be one of the few who avoid the ruin of this alliance and gain rather than lose from the shift.
The report "Live Anywhere – Earn Everywhere" contains seven steps we can take to gain benefits and protection from this cartel.
Here is some background. At the beginning of the 20th century, Carl Duisberg, the head of Bayer, created a profit sharing cartel from three firms BASF, Bayer and Agfa, called the Dreibund (Triple Alliance) or little IG.
This German chemical association dominated commerce everywhere under the name of IG Farben, the largest company in Europe, the 4th largest anywhere and the largest chemical company in the world.
Because "Power Corrupts" this company morphed into something truly evil before and during the Second World War.
After WWII IG Farben was considered so morally corrupt it could not be allowed to continue to exist and was split into its original constituent companies. Today Agfa, BASF, Sanofi and Bayer (now expanded) remain.
This is where facts become truly scary. Some of these very same companies have merged with other mega concerns to create a new American Dreibund (a Triple Alliance dominating the USA). This new cartel has such power it can take control of your food, your medicine and even influence, if not control, what you read and the information you access for health and wealth. Even worse, they can monitor everything you do and give it to others in government and business as well.
From a political point of view we cannot do much about this alliance. The cartel has hundreds of billions of dollars and hundreds of lobbyists. They are making their big move right now, to take advantage of the current political distraction. They know that after an election politicians are willing to accept bad news because it will be forgotten in four years.
In addition their greatest enemy in the government has only a couple of months left as the head of the Federal agency that will fight this cartel.
Only a few people will know how to take advantage of the shifts created from the results of this alliance.
The sooner we act, the greater the benefits. This is why I want to rush my newest report "Live Anywhere-Earn Everywhere" to you. This report shares how to protect what you have from this coalition that is taking over mainstream media, our food supply as well as our medical history, health care and communications.
Fortunately a loophole can set you free. You can protect what you have and actually improve your situation, a lot. Merri and I have already jumped though the loophole and want to share why and how you should too.
How to Gain Extra Freedom – While Almost Everyone Loses Theirs. Become a Pruppie!
May I coin a new word, Pruppie?
We all know about preppers. They believe that the world, as we know it, is about to end. And we also know about Uppies, upward professionals as in Yuppies, young upward professionals. Uppies expect their world to get better.
The reality is that our worlds have changed and for most of us, there is still great opportunity for a better lifestyle, yet the preppies could be right.
I invite you to join Merri and me as Pruppies, those who expect the world to get better and live and earn based on that expectation but enjoy a progressive lifestyle of freedom that also happens to prepare us for bad times as well as good.
Just in case… the world goes sideways… we will still survive and prosper anyway. We do not give up anything much. We can enjoy the good parts of the new economy, as we protect ourselves from what can be bad.
For example in this report, you'll see how to make your dining room table bring you more control, more time, more income and more freedom. After all, what can be more accessible than a dining room table?
You'll even learn how to turn dining room tables into income and tax deductions as we have with these dining room tables we build out of local wood.
Let me be clear. I expect that the world will get better, at least for the few who adapt and avoid the dangers the American Dreibund has planned for the public. The wealth of the world, albeit with inequality, has continued to grow. There is an incredible new economy that's opening for those who know what to do. There are great new opportunities and many of them offer enormous income potential and they even work well in disaster scenarios.
Let me provide one simple, concrete example. Ginseng.
This is a great health root. The demand is growing especially in China. At times good dried Ginseng sells for $1,000 a pound! This is an incredible and easy crop to grow. The less care you give it, the more valuable it can become. Yet if everything goes south, the health qualities will be good to have and make it an excellent barter item. Once you know what to do with ginseng, it's easy to grow in your back yard.
Even better one of the best kept secrets is that ginseng and 125 other medicinal crops that are currently unsustainable but can be grown on land that is extraordinarily cheap.
Ginseng growing in our back yard. I know about growing ginseng through experience and explain why and how in the report.
There are are specific places that reduce your living expenses, easily increase your income, make you smarter, healthier and provide tax benefits as well.
Learn about these specific places. More important learn what makes these places special and seven freedom producing steps that you can use to find other similar spots of opportunity.
Here are some of the experiences this report shares:
The report includes a tax and career plan broken into four age groups, before you finish school, from age 25 to 50 – age 50-to 65 and what to do when you reach the age where tradition wants you to re-tire. (Another clue-you do not need to retire and probably should not).
The report is very specific because it is about what Merri and I, our children and even my sister and thousands of our readers have done and are doing.
Live Anywhere – Earn Everywhere focuses on a system that takes advantage of living in Smalltown USA, but earning globally.
- Learn about the magic of the north facing slope. This is where Merri and I live almost half of our time. North facing mountain land is some of the least expensive in the world but has hidden values that the report reveals. There is a lot of this land and a lot of hidden value that you can tap. When we bought our Blue Ridge farm (252 acres) I mentioned this to my Swiss banking friend. "That's bigger than the entire village where I live!" was his response. Smalltown USA offers a last chance at having a lot of space. By living in two Smalltown places there are enormous tax advantages as well. One step in the system saves Merri and me over $28,345 in taxes a year.
The report shows how to buy cheap north facing slopes and create an income producing tiny home for $29,000 or less.
If you lack the $29,000 to invest, a start up using tents is even less. These are tipis we put up at our farm before we built our first tiny home. Learn how they can create tens of thousands of dollars in income for you.
- See ways that small businesses like Tipi rentals can create BIG tax savings as well as extra income. For more than 30 years Merri and I have enjoyed a strong six figure income, some years more, in the millions. Yet there have been very few years when we had to pay federal income tax. The report lays out a three structure program and how it is used when you are in school (up to age 30), then from 25 to 50, 50 to 70 and beyond 70. Learn why Chapter C corporations and pensions can be better than the normally recommended Chapter S. See how new mileage log rules gives you a possible opportunity to increase your tax deductions using IRS Form 4562. Using a two-vehicle strategy you can gain $12,976 in new deductions even if you do not have to drive one mile further or spend one additional penny on your car.
- See how a greenhouse can help you eat better and be healthier, plus provide income and a tax deduction and be funded by a government grant.
Our North Carolina greenhouse.
Our Florida greenhouse.
- There are similar benefits from having a second home office defined in IRS publication 463 and IRS publication 587, even if your desk is a dining room table. The report also shows how your dining room table can become an actual income producer as its creates a huge tax deduction at the same time, not to mention a great place to eat, work and lay out plans for a brighter, safer more lucrative and enjoyable future.
- Living in this environment is also healthier, economically as well as physically. You'll see in the report how researchers at Harvard found an amazing correlation between living in conditions found on north facing slopes, longevity and mental health. The researchers were quite surprised by this strong correlation that also extended into mental health. In addition to feeling better, reducing stress and having more Joie de Vivre the places outlined in "Live Anywhere-Earn Everywhere" can help you avoid hospitals, high cost disease management (aka health care) and BIG pharma while providing an investment opportunity in three plants that have some of the fastest growing demand in natural health care. These three plants are just one of seven business opportunities that can create multiple streams of income.
- How changes in cell phone and internet technology eliminated the need to be in one place. An old law that creates new opportunity for small business in small towns is available to everyone.
- Use the specific search and purchase guide. Construction plans are included that show how to generate first tier income that leads to five, second tier avenues of earnings.
- How to pay off old debt and avoid new debt by avoiding spurts and embracing value.
- Learn seven skills that will always have value. See how to turn First Aid, medicinal plants, hospitality, food, trees, alternate energy and writing to sell into everlasting, low stress wealth.
This pond at our farm is a pleasure but also helps create a safe, healthy food supply and creates a tax deduction as well.

bone wellness & Calcium: Plant vs. Rock?
The most common form of calcium supplement today is derived from limestone (rock). Jagged, isolated, and with limited surface area, it can be difficult for the stomach to digest. It is also devoid of other key bone-nourishing nutrients.
The Whole-Food Difference
Bone Strength Take Care is different. Plant-sourced, it delivers whole-food calcium, magnesium and 72 other trace minerals in a natural honey-comb structure with an open surface area that is easy to digest and utilize.
Sustainably Sourced
The calcium complex in Bone Strength Take Care is derived from a natural plant form called Lithothamnion, sustainably harvested from pristine shores along the Icelandic coastline.
Whole-Food Calcium - While most calcium supplements are derived from rocks, plant-sourced Bone Strength Take Care Tiny Tabs deliver bone-strengthening calcium your body recognizes as food.

Every developer which creates a scalable applications with high read/write ratio finally has to move to some query oriented storage, which allows almost instant, advanced querying. Solr is one of the frequently used solutions, providing a nice performance with advanced indexing/querying. Talking to Solr needs an API and for .NET and you can use SolrNet. As it is described on the project page, it provides a nice and simple way to integrate with NHibernate, simply by calling following code:
NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration cfg = SetupNHibernate(); var cfgHelper = new NHibernate.SolrNet.CfgHelper(); cfgHelper.Configure(cfg, true); // true -> autocommit Solr after every operation (not really recommended)
The integration with NH allows you to use an extended session to query the solr server. Additionally, all your updates, inserts, deletes will be automatically called on the solr. This feature is provided by NH events listeners registered by the described configuration helper. Let's take a look and audit a bit of code:
public Configuration Configure(Configuration config, bool autoCommit) { foreach (Type type in this.mapper.GetRegisteredTypes()) { Type type2 = typeof(SolrNetListener<>).MakeGenericType(new Type[] { type }); Type serviceType = typeof(ISolrOperations<>).MakeGenericType(new Type[] { type }); object service = this.provider.GetService(serviceType); ICommitSetting listener = (ICommitSetting) Activator.CreateInstance(type2, new object[] { service }); listener.Commit = autoCommit; this.SetListener(config, listener); } return config; }
For each of mapped types a new listener is generated. Is it OK? Why do not use one listener (with no generics at all), handling all the mapped types?
Additionally, doesn't SetListener method clear all the previously registered listeners, so… what about the types previously handled?
The more interesting question can be raised when looking through the SolrNetListener<T> code. All the listeners in NH are singletons. They are initialized during the start up phase, and used till the application end. Hence, listeners should be stateless, or use some kind of current context resolvers passed in their constructor. The SolrNetListener uses WeakHashtables fields to store the entities which should be flushed to the solr. Static field (because the listener is a singleton)? What about the race conditions, locking etc.? Let's take a look:
The example of Delete method, called, when solr delete should be deferred (session uses a transaction) shows that listener GLOBALLY locks the execution of all threads:
private void Delete(ITransaction s, T entity) { lock (this.entitiesToDelete.SyncRoot) { if (!this.entitiesToDelete.Contains(s)) { this.entitiesToDelete[s] = new List<T>(); } ((IList<T>) this.entitiesToAdd[s]).Add(entity); } }
furthermore, data can be committed to the solr server, but not committed to the sql database! It can happen when flushing occurs. The override of OnFlush method saves the data to the solr before flushing the db changes.
What if optimistic locking rolls back the whole transaction after the data were stored in the solr? I'd rather have no data in solr and use some background worker to upsert data in solr then have copies of nonexisting entities.
The right behavior for the solr, with no global locks, flushing changes to the solr after a sql db transaction commit can be done with using an Interceptor and rewritten the event handler. I'll describe it in the next post.

Williams hits 11 3-pointers to help Nets down Wizards | News
Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - Deron Williams had a first quarter to remember
and finished with a Nets record 11 3-pointers, as Brooklyn cruised past the
Washington Wizards, 95-78, at Barclays Center.
Williams set an NBA record with nine 3-pointers in the first half, including a
7-for-7 effort in the game's first eight minutes.
Behind Williams' 42-point effort, the Nets led by as many as 27 and ended a
three-game skid at home with relative ease despite scoring just 36 points in
the second half.
Reggie Evans pulled down a career-high 24 rebounds and, along with Brook
Lopez, was Brooklyn's next highest scorer with 11 points.
The Wizards have dropped two in a row since star rookie Bradley Beal went down
with an ankle injury. Unlike Williams, they were 3-of-17 from behind the arc
and shot 36 percent overall. John Wall led the way with 16 points, while Nene
and Kevin Seraphin chipped in 11 apiece in the setback.

Night School
Vampires, Slayers and...FAIRIES? Sunny and Rayne McDonald are about to get SCHOOLED.
After their parents' shocking revelation about their fae heritage and an attack on their lives, the McDonald twins find themselves on the run--forced to hide out at Riverdale Academy , a boarding school for vampire slayers, deep in the Swiss Alps. With no cells, no internet, and no way to contact their vampire boyfriends--the twins are on their own.
Being a vampire stuck in a school full of slayers isn't easy. Especially with no blood substitute stocked on campus. Soon Rayne finds herself succumbing to her bloodlust and losing control--especially around the arrogant, but devastatingly handsome Corbin Billingsworth the Third--who isn't sure whether he wants to kiss her...or kill her.
But when Sunny starts acting strange, Rayne realizes Riverdale Academy may be hiding some deadly secrets of its own--leading to a showdown in Fairyland that may cost the twins their lives.

Many of the PMP® aspirants look at Enterprise Environmental factors and Organization Process Assets as an input to most of the project management processes and many times they get confused about why one thing falls under Enterprise Environmental factor (EEF) and not in Organization process assets (OPA) vice versa.

Vanilla rice pudding
Makes 4 servings
No one ever grows tired of rice pudding, the classic comfort food from childhood days. Dress it up for grown-ups by substituting almond extract for the vanilla extract. I like to serve this wholesome dessert topped with slices of juicy fresh peaches.
For more speedy dessert recipes, see my recently published cookbook, The Complete 15-Minute Gourmet: Creative Cuisine Made Fast and Fresh.
1 ½ cups cooked white rice (cook until soft rather than firm, cool before using)
1 ¼ cups half-and-half
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon salted butter
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Combine the rice, half-and-half and sugar in a medium nonstick saucepan; bring just to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low; cover and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes or until the cream is partially absorbed into the rice but the mixture is still very creamy.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and a scant pinch of salt.
Transfer to small dessert bowls and serve warm. Or when the pudding is cool, cover the dishes with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to serve later the same day.
Paulette Mitchell, a culinary instructor, television personality, spokesperson, freelance food writer, and the award-winning author of 13 cookbooks, is known internationally for her quick-to-prepare recipes with gourmet flair. Paulette's most recently published cookbook is "The Complete 15-Minute Gourmet: Creative Cuisine Made Fast and Fresh." She is also the author of "A Beautiful Bowl of Soup" and "The Spirited Vegetarian," which was voted "Best Book in the World on Cooking with Wine" at the 2005 Gourmand World Media Awards. Paulette says that international travel is her favorite source of culinary inspiration.

A couple of weeks ago after Facebook reported, I posted Hey Muppets, Only Another 100% Climb In Share Price To Go Before You Break Even With MS/GS/FB Investment Advice. You see, I warned about FB a half of a year before the IPO (reference the FB IPO Analysis & Valuation Note - update with per share valuation released exactly 5 months ago on 05/21/2012 (click here to subscribe)) stating that this thing was coming to market at multiples of a realistic valuation. So, what did Facebook's bankers do? They raised the offering price even more. Makes sense doesn't it?
Well, it makes more sense than the lock-up of hundreds of millions of shares ending, flooding the market with excess supply and the price of the stock.... increases!!!
Well, there may be a logical reason for this. By now, the more astute early investors in Facebook either read my analysis or somehow have come up with similar conclusions independently. That being the case, these guys had massive unrealized capital gains and a strong incentive to preserve them. Thus, they did what every hedge fund should do but what so little ever seem to do. What is that you ask? They hedged. I would assume that as soon as FB shares became available for short and/or puts started trading, these guys competed with me to get short in order to lock in whatever gains they still had left. That being the case, once the lock-up period expired, and actual sales occurred it was offset (and possibly then some) by the supportive buying created by the short position covering.
Of course, this is just a theory, but its a plausible one. Only time will tell if it holds water, for if the upward price pressure was cause by short covering, it will be over by next week and we should see a marginal decline.

Young William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones were both students at Oxford University (Exeter College) where they bonded over their love for romantic literature and King Arthur's adventures.
There was a particularly beautiful edition of "Le Morte d'Arthur" in a local bookshop
that young Ned often went to drool over (well, not literally drool over, hopefully...)His wealthy best chum surprised him one day by buying it for him.
Both boys (as well as all the Pre-Raphaelites) particularly loved the poetry of John Keats. And Ned (as well as Rossetti) was an avid fan of Edgar Allan Poe. (Ned would always have a fascination with the macabre despite having a lifelong problem with nightmares. More on this later.)
The above cartoon was meant to be ironic of course. The affluent Topsy would go on to become a staunch socialist who wanted nothing to do with titles and the aristocracy, while the formerly poor Ned Jones was offered a baronetcy in later life and became Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones. He said he accepted it for the sake of his son, Philip (who would also become an artist)
who would eventually inherit the title.
But I personally think Ned just liked the idea of being a knight--
even if he couldn't sit at the Round Table.
Coming up next: Sir Ned.

The Wall Street Blockchain Alliance (WSBA) is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association created for financial market professionals, by financial market professionals.
Blockchain, cryptoassets and smart contracts represent a seismic shift in how financial markets, and all aspects of the global economy, operate. In the same way that the internet gave us a powerful way to share and access information, blockchain technology now gives us a powerful way to share and access value.
As we work to incorporate and adapt these powerful advances in technology to the world, having an organized, strategic approach will help all participants involved in the global, distributed ledger ecosystem.
The long term result will be new asset classes, increased market efficiencies, more cost-effective technology solutions and ultimately greater value and wealth creation for all participants in global financial markets.
The WSBA stands as a neutral, unbiased steward of education and cooperation between global financial firms.
Our mission is to guide and promote comprehensive adoption of blockchain technology and cryptoassets across global financial markets. We do this by engaging with market participants, regulators, policymakers and technology innovators through direct communication, comment letters, studies and more to guide the public dialogue about blockchain, distributed ledger and smart contract technology, so that the financial markets can realize the full potential of these capabilities.
We seek to do this in a way that is effective, complies with all regulatory safeguards and ultimately paves the way for more efficient and profitable markets.
"As we enter the Age of Blockchain Technology and Cryptoassets, financial market institutions and professionals require a member-driven organization that will fully and accurately represent their concerns to national and international government agencies and regulators, as well as to the technology innovators at the heart of this new era."

Bone Loss in the Jaw
The jawbone is an essential part of your face. It provides structure to your facial features and allows you to chew and speak properly. When you experience bone loss in the jaw, it can affect numerous other aspects of your oral and overall health. Atrophy in the jaw can stem from a variety of causes, including tooth loss, gum disease, and certain medical conditions. Left untreated, jawbone loss can result in issues with your remaining teeth, collapse or distortion of facial features, and a range of other concerns. The most common treatment for jawbone atrophy is a dental bone graft. If you are concerned about potential bone loss in your jaw, speak to your dentist right away. They can recommend the best treatment route for you.

March 14 is the International Day of Action for Rivers and Against Dams. Every year, thousands of people around the world lift their voices to celebrate the world's rivers and those who struggle to protect them. The International Day of Action for Rivers is a day to celebrate victories such as dam removal and river restoration. It is a day to take to the streets, demonstrate and demand improvements in the policies and practices of decision makers. It is a day to educate one another about the threats facing our rivers, and learn about better water and energy solutions. Above all, it is a day to unite – by acting together, we demonstrate that these issues are not merely local, but global in scope.

Water Day is marked on March 22nd every year. It's a day to celebrate water. It's a day to make a difference for the members of the global population who suffer from water related issues. It's a day to prepare for how we manage water in the future.
In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly designated March 22 as the first World Water Day. World Water Day is celebrated around the world shining the spotlight on a different issue every year.
In 2015, the theme for World Water Day is 'Water and Sustainable Development'. It's about how water links to all areas we need to consider to create the future we want. (Cut from source; http://www.unwater.org/worldwaterday/about/en )
Why am I sharing this with you?
Please look forward to a month of wet challenges inspired by Action for Rivers and World Water Day.
To get started- Think about RIVERS and Streams …
What's your watershed?
Dorothy Gale spoke the truth in The Wizard of Oz when she said, "There's no place like home." We'll start our month's water adventures sticking close to home. Share a photo of a river or stream in your watershed, along with some of your thoughts or impressions about your watershed.
What is a watershed? This information was cut from The International Rivers website:
- Land and water are ecologically linked in a natural system called a catchment, drainage basin, or watershed. From the smallest droplet to the mightiest river, water works to shape the land, taking with it sediment and dissolved materials that drain to watercourses and, in most cases, eventually to the sea. So, too, is the river a product of the land it inhabits – the type of rock and soil, the shape of the land, the amount of rainfall and type of vegetation are some of the factors that determine the river's shape, size and flow.
- We all belong to a watershed (literally, an area of land that catches all the rain and directs it to a stream, river or lake). A watershed also includes all the humans, plants and animals who live in it, and all the things we have added to it such as buildings and roads. Everything we do affects our watershed – from washing clothes and growing food to mining, commercial farming, and building roads or dams. The reverse is also true: our watershed affects everything we do, by determining what kinds of plants we can grow, the number and kinds of animals that live there, and how many people and livestock can be sustainably supported by the land.
Not sure about your watershed?
Perhaps this link will help. Check out Waterkeeper Alliance to find major watershed groups.
UNLESS…Earth-friendly month of March challenges will build on this week's challenge!
I'm looking forward to seeing an interesting variety of photos as we share a look at the watershed rivers/ streams near our homes, and tell a little bit about them.
My Watershed: Tualatin River (McKay Creek Tributary)
My watershed is unique in an urbanized area. It is a zone of moderate quality wetlands. This portion of the watershed is seasonally flooded, and provides habitat for many species of animals and plants… including native and invasive varieties.

Appealing an Eviction
The landlord must deliver to you a written Notice to Vacate with a move-out date. If you don't move out by the date, the landlord must file an eviction case in Justice Court (the judge is called a Justice of the Peace). A constable will serve you with the lawsuit, and the first page will state the date of the trial.
If you don't appear at the trial, the landlord wins by a default judgment, and six days after the judgment can ask the Justice Court (JC) for an order (Writ of Possession) to remove you. You are then given 24 hours' notice to vacate before the sheriff or constable can remove you and your belongings.
If you lose the hearing or there is a default, you can appeal within five days and remain in the property while the appeal is pending. If part of your rent is paid with federal funds (public housing, subsidized housing, Section 8 rental voucher), make sure the JC's judgment states the amount paid by the government and the amount to be paid by you. If this isn't correct, you must file a written objection in JC within 5 days of the date of the judgment. This is important because you might have to deposit part of your rent while your appeal is pending and you want it to be what you actually owe.
Five days to appeal (filed in JC)
You have only 5 days to appeal the JC's decision to the County Court (the next highest court). The 5 days include weekends and holidays. If the deadline falls on a day the JC is closed (or is not open until 5:00 PM), you can file the appeal on the next day that the JC is open. If you miss the deadline, the judgment stands and the landlord can get an order (Writ of Possession) to have you and your belongings removed.
Appeal (filed in JC)
You can appeal with a bond or cash deposit or an Affidavit of Inability to Pay.
- Appeal Bond: A bond is a promise to pay the judgment if you lose the appeal. The amount of the bond is set by the JC, usually at 2-3 times your monthly rent. You can deposit cash or a security with the JC. A security must be signed (guaranteed) by you and one or more people (for example, people who have assets in Texas) who are approved by the JC. You will also have to pay a filing fee for the appeal once it arrives at the County Court.
- Affidavit of Inability to Pay: If you can't afford the bond, you can file an Affidavit of Inability to Pay (also called a Sworn Statement of Inability to Pay). The JC should provide you a form Affidavit upon request. If you appeal with an Affidavit, you are not responsible for County Court filing fees. If the landlord disagrees with your Affidavit, you must prove in a JC hearing that you cannot afford the bond. If you disagree with the JC decision, you can appeal to County Court.
If you appeal with an Affidavit of Inability to Pay, you must pay one month's rent (per the judgment) to the JC within five days of filing your Affidavit, and then you must pay rent every month to the county clerk until your appeal is decided. Pay within 5 days of the date it's due under the lease; if you are late, your landlord can get a Writ of Possession to have you removed.
Paying rent
Unless you are paying rent into the Court Registry, you should continue to pay the rent to the landlord directly to prevent eviction for nonpayment. If the landlord refuses to accept your rent, you should put it aside and not touch it, because you will still owe it.
Written answer
If you didn't file a written answer to the lawsuit in the JC, you must file one in the County Court within 8 days after the County Court receives your case. (Check with the Court frequently!) If you don't file a written answer the landlord may win by default. Your answer can be a simple handwritten letter asking for new trial and giving the reasons why you shouldn't be evicted.
Filing fee
(County Court): If you did not appeal with an Affidavit of Inability to Pay, you must pay a filing fee to the County Court within 20 days after receiving notice of the fee. If you can't afford the filing fee, you can file an Affidavit of Inability to Pay Costs.
Your appeal means you will have a new trial in the County Court. The same evidence you used in JC court (papers, witnesses, photographs) must be presented again. The judge will listen first to the landlord's side and then to your side, then make a decision about whether to evict. You also have the right to ask the landlord questions in court.
You should have 10 days (but some courts say 5) to move out or appeal to the court of appeals. The process is complicated. Consult a lawyer immediately to discuss your next steps. Find more help from the Texas Tenant Advisor at www.texastenant.org.

Update: THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
I love discovering cute and unique clothes for kids, and Bitty Braille tees for infants and toddlers are both of these things.
Bitty Braille tees feature simple "kid-friendly" words set in Braille type in either sparkly faceted metal studs for the girls or simple metal studs for the boys. The translation is hand-embroidered underneath in a simple print or cursive. The idea behind Bitty Braille is to introduce children to Braille through original designs. The concept is the brainchild of Julie Dutt, a busy mom to three home-schooled children.
Some of the designs available feature the words "happy," "cutie," "darling," "silly," "buddy," and "dude," or shirts may be personalized with the child's name. In addition to infant and toddler shirts, Bitty Braille also sells Bitty Blankies, hair clips and birth stone charms.
Bitty Braille donates 10% of every sale to the American Foundation for the Blind.
Ava is wearing a personalized long-sleeved toddler tee in size 4. The shirt is 100% cotton, very soft and Ava thinks "it's neat!" I agree and think Bitty Braille shirts would make a wonderfully unique gift for the baby or toddler in your life.
Win it!
Win a Bitty Braille t-shirt of your choice, excluding upcoming holiday tees. To be eligible for this giveaway, please sign Mr. Linky, then share the love and link to this post AND Bitty Braille on your blog (non-bloggers are eligible too, but be sure to tell a friend or two), and finally leave me a comment stating which Bitty Braille shirt you like best. You must do all three steps to be eligible. The deadline to enter is Monday, Nov. 5. The winner will be chosen randomly with Random.org number generator and announced on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

| 10.2°C Belfast
The Foreign Office has accused Argentina of "unacceptable harassment and intimidation" after a Cunard cruise liner was reportedly ordered to take down its British flag when it docked in Buenos Aires.
The captain of the the Queen Victoria was told he faced a hefty fine if he continued to fly the red ensign - the flag of Britain's merchant fleet - while in the port, Channel 4 News reported.
The former head of the Royal Navy, Admiral Lord West of Spithead, who was a passenger on the ship, described the action as "an insult to the nation".
"After we'd gone round Cape Horn I was at dinner with the captain, and the captain said to me that when they were in Buenos Aires that the ship had basically been threatened with a very punitive fine - about 10,000 US dollars - and also told there would be 'trouble' in inverted commas - not specified - if he didn't take down the red ensign which the ship flies," he told Channel 4 News.
The incident comes against a backdrop of continuing sniping by the government in Buenos Aires over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, which Argentina has long claimed is rightfully theirs.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We condemn any attempts by the Argentine authorities to unnecessarily interfere with the legitimate transit of UK-flagged vessels. This appears to be another example of unacceptable harassment and intimidation.
"We robustly defend UK interests against any attempts by the Government of Argentina to disrupt any lawful commercial activity. We are urgently discussing the matter with Carnival UK (Cunard's parent company) and will raise this with the Argentine authorities."

This happens about 7 times a year.
I go someplace.
Grocery store. Restaurant. Gas station. Movie theater. Post Office. Tattoo Parlor.
You get the picture.
I'm someplace other than school.
As an added bonus, I'm wearing something other than a suit and tie.
Here's what happens.
I walk in. I see student. Student sees me.
Student looks at me funny. This is a telltale sign. Especially when they rotate their head to the side.
They look like a dog who hears a high-pitched whistle.
Student says one of two things.
"I thought you lived at school"
"You wear jeans?"
Actually, this is a lie.
Sometimes they say both.
It's priceless when I see the shock and horror all over their face.
But sadly, of all the things they should be learning during their school years… the one thing that probably sticks with them the longest is their Superintendent looks weird and out of place in Levi's.

Compulsory Attendance Ages: 6-16
Legal Status: Homeschooling is legal and is governed by the Education Code, Article L. 131, a supplemental decree and a circular. Families must annually notify the appropriate authorities of their intent to homeschool. Although the law only gives school inspectors the authority to "verify" the teaching in a homeschool each year, the reality is often quite different. Many times, officials conduct these inspections in an arbitrary and negative manner toward homeschooling. Officials may require homeschooled students to be tested, order children back to school after only one negative report instead of two, or threaten to declare children in danger of mistreatment to coerce parents to accept the inspector's demands.
Estimated number of homeschoolers: 2000-3000 private homeschoolers and 10,000-20,000 homeschoolers enrolled in correspondence schools

In an attempt to close an 18 billion dollar budget deficit, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and lawmakers last year decided to shift funds away from redevelopment agencies in order to pay for schools. This week, a California judge upheld that decision.
The California Redevelopment Association had filed the legal objection to the using redevelopment funds for education, arguing that redevelopment funds could only be used for redevelopment projects aimed to removing blight. The funds were supposed to go from everything from infrastructure improvements to affordable housing projects.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly ruled Tuedsay that the state was within its rights to shift the funds, saying that giving the money to schools is a valid use of redevelopment funds.
John Shirey, Executive Director of the California Redevelopment Association, says by that standard, pretty much any state program could be called redevelopment. His association will appeal the ruling, moving to stop the $1.7 billion payment, which is due on May 10.
It's a Catch 22: If the judge's ruling stands, the funds used to improve mostly blighted communities will have to wait. But the kids in California's public schools will benefit by getting the much needed support and supplies that are so scarce in the current economic climate.
