Now Entering The Yogic Consumer
Say Good-bye to the couch lock stoner.
The turning of the new year unlocked the door to more than just recreational cannabis, it also gave birth to new and open-minded ideas surrounding wellness and our general relationship to the plant.
Cannabis has been around for a long time. 'The Science of Marijuana' says "Bhang seems to have been popular with the Indian people from the beginning of history. In ancient Indian texts bhang is referred to in the Science of Charms — written between 2000 and 1400 B.C. — as one of the "five kingdoms of herbs…which release us from anxiety."
"Cannabis has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. The Chinese compendium of herbal medicines, the Pen T'sao Kang Mu, first published around 2800 B.C., recommended cannabis for treatment of constipation, gout, malaria, rheumatism, and menstrual problems." [1]
We recently partnered with Nicole Klemas of NPK Yoga for privately held "bring your own cannabis" yoga classes. She's paving the way to a new form of wellness in Marin County. Part of our moral fabric at Nice Guys is to help shine a brighter light on the otherwise dark perceptions surrounding Cannabis stigma.
When asked why she liked to use Cannabis in her yoga classes she said:
"The combination of cannabis and yoga is ancient. Indian mythology includes a story about the god Shiva consuming the leaves of the cannabis plant to refresh his mind and body. There is evidence of the use of cannabis in India as far back as 1000 BC, and the plant is still celebrated in medicinal, ceremonial, and spiritual use there today.
Beyond that long history within yogic tradition, my personal reasons are practical. I came to yoga seeking a way to manage both mental and physical pain: I have struggled with anxiety and depression since my teenage years, and I'm also living with chronic arthritis in my hip that I developed after years of competing in marathons and duathlons in my 20s.
Yoga gives me the tools to help address these conditions. So does cannabis. I'm actually pretty sensitive to cannabis, and I generally don't react well when I consume large amounts. When my husband and I moved to California 2 years ago I was excited to explore my medical cannabis options because there was such a wide range of products with clear labeling and specific dosages (nothing like the random baggies I used to score back in NJ!), and there was great education available.
I already knew I preferred plant medicine to pharmacological options, and I was stoked when I learned about CBD and micro-dosing — I found that both helped support my mental and physical wellness while allowing me to control how much psycho-activity (head high) I experienced.
My everyday cannabis routine includes a low-psychoactivity CBD-rich tincture to help with my arthritis inflammation and overall endocannabinoid system balance, and a low-dose indica edible or vape for restful sleep. When I need more mental or physical support, I add a cannabis product specific to my needs at the time. Cannabis helps me practice yoga in the first place by controlling inflammation in my body. It enhances my practice by helping me quiet and focus my mind. And it's fun to share a little smoke socially in the spirit of friendship and community!"
Her practice aligns with our mission:
We believe life is a gift and should be lived well. We use Cannabis to help grow deeper within and without. Using Cannabis to take a hike, ride a bike, or practice yoga should be an adult choice. We enjoy cannabis to be creative and to help us escape the stronghold of our mind to perceive life a little differently for awhile. Helping us grow in open mindedness and through a self-reflective experience. Cannabis helps in more ways than one. We are athletes, business owners, parents, girls and guys, and active community members. It's part of our mission to help de-stigmatize the negative and potentially damaging stigmas plaguing the environment.
When we learned about Nicole's practice merging a few of our favorite activities we were excited to see what it was all about. Operating in the industry is a challenge and a lot of people are still against the plant in general. We thought there'd be backlash due to years of conditioning from propaganda and fear driven campaigns that aren't going to go away over night.
Her biggest challenges have been:
"My biggest challenge thus far actually came before the classes started: it was very difficult to find a 420-friendly space to hold the classes in. I contacted many yoga studios and other rental spaces; the owners were intrigued, but ultimately not comfortable renting to me. I'm very grateful for the support of the owners of my current space. Although it's an unconventional room for yoga, it's been a great base to get the idea rolling. Response to the classes have been great, and each one has sold out thus far — I'm going to need a bigger space soon! These are the first classes of this type offered in Marin county, so as we build a strong, positive presence and keep working toward destigmatization, I hope that more businesses will be willing to work with cannabis-positive gatherings like these."
When asked what her vision for Cannabis+Mindfulness Yoga was she said:
"I'm passionate about offering cannabis+mindfulness yoga gatherings because I want to give people a space to learn about the healing properties of both cannabis and yoga, and because it always brings together people with great energy! These classes allow for informal, low-pressure education and conversation about cannabis use before we all enjoy a super-chill, deeply grounding yoga practice.
While everyone is welcome to enjoy their own cannabis products during the social time before the start of class, students do not need to consume to take part. They can simply come to enjoy the yoga and get their cannabis questions answered in a setting that's warm and welcoming. People can feel uncomfortable about visiting dispensaries; because we do not sell cannabis at the classes they won't feel pressured to make a purchase, but they will leave with information about how to legally access cannabis from local businesses and what sort of products might be right for them.
Because my professional background is in medical education, I'm very passionate about empowering people to learn how to support their own optimal health. As a larger mission, I feel it's important to lend my voice to the destigmatization efforts. Stereotypes about cannabis users are damaging in so many ways, especially because they can prevent people from exploring what might be powerful medicine for them.
I look forward to working with Nice Guys Delivery to help show the world that cannabis users are fit, healthy, productive, contributing members of the community!"
Our opinion of the experience:
There have been two classes so far and like she said they've sold out. I've personally been to them both and really enjoyed the experience. I've found Cannabis to be useful in my own meditative practices, so when I learned I could combine yoga and weed for a deeper, more grounding experience I was thrilled.
Our job in the partnership is to be present to help provide any information people might have regarding the industry and how they can benefit from Cannabis at large. We offer insight into products and help people understand where the industry is headed from our perspective.
We are active in the community and want people to see the brighter side of the Cannabis culture. There's more to it than simply slapping a label on something foreign and unknown — explore, try something new and be adventurous. Maybe Cannabis inspired yoga could be for you.
One underlying reason I've enjoyed the practice is because of the social benefits it creates from coming together with total strangers. Both classes brought new faces in and when you're smoking weed together you tend to bond to some degree or another. I think there's tremendous value in putting yourself in places to meet new people.
Many bring their own Cannabis but also tend to share. We consume a half hour before class and then are guided on an hour or so long journey through our mind and body via our breath and intention. The yoga class is relaxed and at your own pace.
I didn't have a yoga mat the first class so I used my towel and found no real challenges in doing so. I do recommend bringing a mat though — it makes for a more comfortable and meditative experience. I had a mat for the second class which made it much nicer. The location is in a cozy boutique in San Rafael where they allow us to smoke and enjoy cannabis at our own leisure prior to class.
I mostly liked how a group of random strangers were able to come together and enjoy an incredibly relaxing experience. I think that alone creates incredible value that shouldn't be ignored. I look forward to attending more classes and seeing how the practice progresses over time.

(W.A.R.?) release by his rock band, simpl When "The Producers" swept the Tony Awards June 3, one man wasn't cheering: David Yazbek, composer of "The Full Monty." His Broadway show, nominated 10 times, was beaten by "The Producers" in every category. Yazbek himself lost the prize for best score -- to Mel Brooks."Here was Brooks, rolling the hype machine, and there was nothing I could do against it," Yazbek says, railing against the "inbred theater types" who voted for Brooks' musical. If Yazbek seems bitter, he has found a silver lining. He plans to use the notoriety he gained through "The Full Monty" -- even without winning a Tony -- to push "Damascus," the July 10 What Are Records? (W.A.R.?) release by his rock band, simply named Yazbek. He says, "Thanks to 'The Full Monty,' my fan base will grow."Yazbek is seldom seen without his trademark fedora. But over the years, he has worn many hats -- literally and figuratively. He won an Emmy Award as a writer for NBC's "Late Night With David Letterman" in the mid-'80s -- working on such skits as "Male Models Say the Darnedest Things" and "Fun With Velcro" -- before taking a job writing TV commercials. "I have a propensity for writing catchy melodies, and unfortunately, I proved to be very talented at writing jingles," says Yazbek, who created spots for everything from beer to feminine-hygiene products. "You name it, we lubricated the suppository of commerce. I knew it was wrong, but it's hard to deny those checks in the mail."Worried about his credibility, Yazbek left jingles behind. Writing music full-time, he created his best-known tune: the theme song for the PBS kids' game show "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" After working with several rock bands, he formed his eponymous group and released "The Laughing Man" in 1996 and "Tock" in 1998, both on W.A.R.? Label president Rob Gordon says the albums "didn't do much" in the sales department.Then a former bandmate recommended Yazbek to the creators of "The Full Monty," a musical based on the film about unemployed male factory workers who try to earn money by stripping. Aside from a college production, Yazbek had never written show music -- nor aspired to Broadway."I, along with many people of my generation, looked down on Broadway because the music that came out of it in the last 20 years was crap, this inbred musical theater lexicon that blows," Yazbek says. But he took a chance on "The Full Monty," hoping to make "the kind of show that I would like."The show opened on Broadway last October, becoming one of the season's biggest hits. Yazbek was lauded as a hot new composer, winning a Drama Desk Award for his music in May.Once "The Full Monty" opened, Yazbek returned to the studio to work on "Damascus." While the singer/songwriter says he remains "the czar, the pimp, president for life, and dictator," his band includes five other musicians -- all of whom play in the orchestra pit in his Broadway show. Paul Vercesi, Tony Orbach, and Kevin Batchelor play horns and reeds, while Chris Smylie joins on bass. Drummer Dean Sharenow also co-produced "Damascus" with Yazbek.The band brings brash energy to Yazbek's sardonic lyrics and rollicking piano riffs. The tone of "Damascus" ranges from the wistful "A Million Miles" to the tongue-in-cheek "Sandy Koufax," featuring Yazbek singing to a cha-cha rhythm: "Is it good for baseball? Is it good for the Jews?"The album's harmonies and driving tempo are reminiscent of Squeeze or XTC -- not surprising, since XTC leader Andy Partridge is a friend of Yazbek's and collaborated on the band's first two albums.The label will release a single to triple-A radio stations in August. Yazbek -- who calls radio "a crapshoot" -- names "Everything You Want and Then Some" as a likely choice.Yazbek's band won't mount a traditional tour. But as "The Full Monty" opens in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, and around the world, he explains, "I can go any of these places, bring my band, play two or three gigs in that city and piggyback publicity."Gordon admits that it's unusual to link a rock album to a show, but adds, "Anyone who enjoys "The Full Monty" will enjoy David's other music."

Just not a runner
I get asked numerous times what is a traveling nurse so here it is and why I chose to take on this adventure for 2 years. A traveling nurse is basically just that-nurse that travels across the country (if he/she chooses to) at 13 weeks assignments for a recruitment company. Hospitals use "us" to fill in needs, especially in the the south during the winter months aka "snowbird season." That's basically it. I probably have been one of the more adventurous ones as I have taken with me my car and we have gone from Coast to Coast to Coast. And she is still running strong! I have been living out of a suitcase(s) for the last 2 years which is very interesting. So why would I want to continue to do this? I'm constantly wondering where am I going next and it is stressful, so why? Well...
Places I have been/seen
1) Grand Canyon 2) Santa Barbara and Oprah's house 3) 13 weeks spent 50 feet from the ocean(and I'm from WI!) 4) Made friends from across the nation 5)Lived at 6000 ft for 6 months 6) Made it to RI, CA, NM, and AZ as places to visit 7) Got to see celebrities up close and in person 8) Learned how nursing differs across the country 9) Quickly got over my fear of flying 10) Own frequent flyer miles with every major airlines and use them 11)Got to go jet skiing in NOVEMBER!! 12)Rode a tram for miles up to 10,000 feet to overlook Albuquerque,NM. 13) Seen how much more athletic people are in the South them at home and it makes me sad 14) New York City!! 15) Biosphere 2, Tucson 16) Taos, NM 17) need I keep going...
What has it allowed me to do:
Not only do I travel for my career but I also travel for running. So I might have been in California but ran in Las Vegas for instance. I have gotten to travel from almost free to New Orleans, San Diego, Las Vegas, Chicago, LA, and Seattle all because of my career. I go "home" to see family and friends almost every 6 weeks so I get lots of frequent flier miles which I cash in on other flights. It's been awesome. It has also allowed me to grow greatly as a person. I have to rely on myself only. Accident-figured it out. Deathly sick-get yourself to the Urgent care. Learn to navigate thru numerous different cities thanks to my GPS system!
I love my career. Now I have a decision to make if I want to stop traveling and plant some roots for a bit. De-stress and get involved in some things that I want to do but can't because I travel. Will it hinder my running and traveling. Nope. I already have a plan for that one.

Books for the curious
Bluetrain makes exceptional quality books and everything that's needed to build them. Be it archive research, photography, art direction, design, reprographics and retouching of images through to special processes, print, packaging, press-passing and arranging final delivery.
Why Bluetrain? It's a long story, but the original Bluetrain (or Le Train Bleu) ran from Calais in Northern France via Paris to the Mediterranean coast. It was in operation from 1886 until 2003. It took folks from the frozen north to the Côte d'Azur for well over a century. In the 1950s and 1960s Bluetrain became the nickname for the best cycle racers of the time and during the winter Six Day track events the Bluetrain would rock up at the last minute and win all the prizes, it seemed a fitting moniker adopted by the lesser-known riders for their rivals. We're also big fans of John Coltrane and Johnny Cash in the Bluetrain office and they both made records using the name and so the list goes on – we've simply borrowed the name from all these folk who have gone before and done great things with Bluetrains.
And who doesn't love a long train journey in style?

Windy West Sussex – Borde Hill Gardens
The beauty of the gardens are that the public are not permitted to wander in the house or the near gardens but are directed around the dwelling. It is like peeking over the neighbour's wall from the park – you feel invited to look but are offered so much else to see and enjoy that you prefer not to pry. A simple sign saying private is enough.

Staggering to Stonehenge and Salisbury's Old Sarum
I was happy to pay a visit to a group of stones that were much older than the Rolling Stones. No music but at least the ticket was affordable. I drove through Salisbury and liked what I saw, managed to find the A30, followed that for a while until I took a wrong turning, got back to it eventually and enjoyed the excursions driving at a leisurely rate on uncrowded roads.

Living Missionally (Vintage Values: Part 4)/
This is the fourth post in a series on the core values of Vintage Church. Be sure to check out part one, part two, and part three.
Anyone who knows me knows that I really don't like buzzwords. You know what I mean: phrases like "do life," or "do church," or "relevant Christianity." With that being said, I find it comical that I'm writing a post on "missional living." However, I think this phrase is different. Though it's relatively new and catchy, it has a Biblical root and meaning.
In order to understand what it means to live missionally, we have to know what our mission is. Our mission in life is clearly stated in an important passage we all know as the Great Commission.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
The call to evangelize and make disciples applies to every believer: man, woman, adult, child, pastor, or church member. The only difference is how that looks for each person.
If we are seeking to live missionally there are three things we must do:
1. We must know the Gospel we are called to share.
There are many different plans and techniques designed for easily sharing the Gospel. Whatever method you use, make sure that you know it well enough to be able to share it comfortably and consistently. Also, be able to share in casual conversation. This may cause you to stray away slightly from the method you've chosen to use. That's why its more important to focus on the message rather than the method. Methods change with the time, and there are always new ways being made available to share, but the one thing that will never change is the Gospel. It is the story of God's love for his sinful people--love so great that he gave up his Son, so that we can have life with the Father, sealed by the Holy Spirit for eternity. All of this is made available by repentance and faith in him. That is the message that should be at the heart of every method we use to share with people.
2. We must be around people who don't know Jesus.
It may seem silly for me to say this, but you may be surprised at the number of Christians who can go extended periods of time without having any conversation with a person who doesn't know Jesus. So, what does it look like to be around people who don't know Jesus? I can't answer that for you, but I can gladly give you some pointers to let you know what that looks like in my life.
The main idea is that we must go where they are. Andy Mineo, a rapper who follows Jesus, has a song called "Wild Things." In this song, he shares that he wants to go where the wild things are. That's what it looks like to be around people who don't know Jesus. If we are to reach people who don't know Christ, we must step out of our comfort zone, and go to the places where they are.
If you're as lucky as I am, the place where those people are often overlaps with the things you love. For instance, basketball is my second love. I can play and watch and just be around it all day. Anywhere there is a basketball court, there are people--people who need Jesus. God has already placed me around people who need him. So, now it's up to me to take a step out of my comfort zone and share the message of redemption with the people around me.
3. We must live "on mission" wherever we are.
As a believer, your mission field is wherever you are currently living. God calls us to live on mission wherever we are. Your home, your job, your neighborhood, and your city will always be your mission field. That field is always subject to change, but we must understand that our mission is forever the same: to glorify the Lord by making disciples as described in Matthew 28.
Practice sharing the gospel with yourself and your friends. Look for those opportunities God has given you to share the Gospel, and then share the Gospel. We should always be on mission. Grace and Peace.

Currency in circulation has peaked at Rs 20.35 lakh crore as of 1 February 2019 which has raised issues on whether this has been driven by the recouping of the informal economy. Demonetisation was introduced for various reasons and as a secondary outcome was to lead to the reduction in the use of cash for transactions.
As this was supplemented with Goods and Services Tax (GST) which sought to integrate the informal economy with the formal structure, the demand for cash was expected to come down. However, tradition has been stronger and has ensured that the demand for currency remains intact.
The number of Rs 20 lakh crore may look high, but if one looks at the buildup of cash in circulation over the years, the picture is actually not very shocking.
The table below gives the incremental currency in circulation in each of the last five fiscal years with the latest one being for 10 months over March.
The table shows that an increase of Rs 2.31 lakh crore, though the highest in this period is not really very odd as it was Rs 2.25 lakh crore in 2015-16, the year prior to demonetisation. The fall in currency in circulation in 2016-17 was made up for in 2017-18 with an increase of almost Rs 5 lakh crore.
Therefore, while the increase this year is not really very out of place it would still call for an explanation given the other data presented by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) which says that digital transactions have increased in the last few years is evident even today in most transaction-oriented business.
The fact that the currency is still held in large quantities is for various reasons. First, households prefer to hold on to cash at home for precautionary motives as it provides convenience and security. The tendency to hold more cash is high in rural areas where digitisation is less pervasive.
Second, transactions in the farm sector are still largely cash-based as we have not yet reached a stage where digital transactions take place. While some mandis are linked to the eNAM and similar platforms all transactions which take place outside the mandi are purely cash-based. And given the multiple stages farm products go through before reaching the consumer, there would be increased demand for cash.
Third, while the younger generation uses digital modes of transactions there is a large demography which prefers use of cash and hence the demand is always progressively higher with cost of living. Intuitively it can be seen that as inflation increases even by 3-4% per annum, the overall demand for money increases in proportion and hence there will always be higher demand for cash.
Fourth, the GST has been a correction in the informal economy. However with the composition rule changing and more companies being out of the net, there is a tendency for cash transactions to increase. While this is a valid argument, the impact should not be overstated as the counterparty would often insist on receipts and hence will force the small and medium enterprise (SME) to get listed. But this can still be argued as being a reason for higher demand for cash as these limits have been liberalised.
Fifth, households have also preferred to keep cash in preference for deposits at the margin as interest rates have been low. This has worked at the margin and also witnessed in the lower growth in deposits this year which in turn has put pressure on liquidity as the RBI had to intervene continuously to steady the situation.
Sixth, a major factor that will keep demand up would be the elections. This is the time when all parties would be hoarding cash for use during the campaigning as it is the easiest way of spending money without any audit trail. This was observed before some state elections when demand for currency went up. Therefore, one may expect this to continue for the coming months right up to the elections as payments are made either directly to voters or to party workers for various purposes.
Seventh, the return of currency for conducting marriages is also evident and has added to overall demand. With the central bank bringing back normalcy in the currency situation, households are returning to the use of cash which still dominates a large part of these expenses.
There are, hence, two things about this high level of currency in the system. The first is that it is not really odd in terms of the increase as this has happened in the past too. Demonetisation had withdrawn a large part and the slow infusion was more due to the logistics in supply rather than the ebbing of demand.
Second, while digitisation has certainly caught on, it has not been at the expense of currency and the two are moving in parallel. As a corollary it can be said that this trend may continue for some more time before people switch in large groups away from the use of cash.

The long awaited day has finally come, the day in which all Sales & Use tax compliance addicts rejoice as Arizona finally rolls out the TPT Simplification. That's right folks, after a couple of false starts in recent years, TPT Simplification is...
In the words of the popular 80's band, Europe: It's the final countdown!!!
Okay, we actually have about 139 days until the end of the year, however, when you are in sales and use tax compliance, the days and the months go by in a blink of an eye!
Arizona doesn't have a traditional "sales tax" – instead, Arizona imposes a transactions privilege tax ("TPT") on the sale of tangible personal property and certain services. However, the TPT is the equivalent of a sales tax in almost all respects.

Books in May 2019
Ruined By Design: How Designers Ruined the World, and What We Can Do to Fix It
Mike Monteiro
Monteiro doesn't mince his words, and his fire and conviction come through loud and clear. Designers and the decisions we make in the course of our work wield more influence and affect more heavily on people's lives than we think, even though it may not always feel that way.
"A designer uses their expertise in the service of others without being a servant. Saying no is a design skill. Asking why is a design skill. Rolling your eyes and staying quiet is not. Asking ourselves why we are making something is an infinitely better question than asking ourselves whether we can make it."
The book cites many worrying examples from the Silicon Valley juggernauts (Twitter, Uber, and not surprisingly, Facebook were in starring roles), and puts into perspective how real and serious the implications from our design work are.
Why has this happened? Moving fast and breaking things. Lack of diversity (psst, not every unexpected outcome is an edge case; just because it isn't applicable for you doesn't mean that it is an edge case). Lack of experience. Design education has not been sufficient and robust to prepare us for the work in the real world. Newer design disciplines have barely been defined, but now they are taught and taken as truth (or best practices).
Loonshots: How to Nuture the Crazy Ideas that Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and Transform Industries
Safi Bahcall
I read the book over two loan periods; not because it was a long read, but because I only got to it days before it was due. I'm not sure if the staggered reading was the cause, but I found the first part of the book much more interesting than the second half.
Loonshots. Two types: Product-type (P-type) loonshots where advancements are centered around a product's capabilities and technologies (faster, bigger, smarter!), and strategy-type (S-type) loonshots where advancements are preemptive responses to market needs, and where they revolve around how a product is shaped, monetised, and marketed.
To reach what Bahcall calls a Bush-Vail balance (named after Vannevar Bush who headed the Office of Scientific Research and Development in WWII, and Theodore Vail who was the former president of AT&T), organisations should aspire to accomplish the 4 rules. They are: 1. Phase transitions (deliberate separation between the franchise groups and the loonshot groups); 2. Dynamic equilibrium (treat both groups equally, and create a seamless exchange of ideas and knowledge between the two); 3. Critical mass; 4. Raise the magic number (the optimal number before the group descends into unproductive and costly politics).
I found the magic number bit most interesting.
Bad Call
Mike Scardino
It is good to take a break from reality by reading about other people's realities.
Design for How People Think: Using Brain Science to Build Better Products
John Whalen
This was one book that I held great expectations for, but sadly, it was also one that ultimately fell short.
What was good: The Six Minds
What wasn't: The book felt repetitive in many parts and it got too full of questions, literally. My first recollection of this book was that I read more questions than I read insights. Now, unless I'm reading an interview guide, I prefer my thought starters to not end with a "?" all the time.

MaryAnna and Ian are married! Their wedding day at an historic resort along the Delaware River was such a beautiful day of supportive family and gorgeous colors.
I remember the first time I met with M&I -- I loved watching him look at her with complete adoration; I loved the way her laugh lit up the entire cafe and the passion with which so many details and little touches had already been dreamed. Their yin-yang balance of quiet and observing / bubbly and outgoing carried through to their wedding day when the very tall Ian greeted me, nicely dressed, quietly happy on the stairs of the inn and the excited and adorable MaryAnna met me with squeals and hugs in a nearby cottage.
With turquoise dresses and bright florals and homemade details accenting the day, the whole thing was just magical. The weather was perfect, which is always a HUGE relief, but honestly, I bet even if it had downpoured for hours, this still would have been a bright day.
Some of my favorite moments:
MaryAnna's bouquet was actually a collection of pins and broaches that all had some significance to her's and Ian's relationship -- colors, hobbies, interests. It was a sparkly bit of gorgeousness!
Another amazing detail? MaryAnna's dress, which was redone from her mom's wedding gown! The lace detail at the top and on the back was so lovely.
M & I had agreed ahead of time that they wanted to do a "No Look", basically where they meet on opposite sides of a large barrier, like a door or tree, and can hold hands and talk but not see each other. It's usually a really special, private moment with amazing emotions for me to capture. At the very last minute, MaryAnna exclaimed, "I think I want to see him!" My second shooter ran it by Ian who was waiting on a nearby porch, and next thing you know, we're lining them up on the expansive front lawn to turn Ian around towards his bride. In those last 90 seconds, MaryAnna began skipping slightly toward her love, wiping tears of complete joy and excited anticipation. I will never forget the goosebumps while capturing her joy.
During their ceremony, MaryAnna surprised Ian with a line in their vows that talked about them being beer pong partners for life (they met at a party!) which had all of their guests chuckling. And then a minute later, "And when life really sucks..." and again, giggles! It was a fantastic nod to their fun relationship and her sparkly personality.
It was truly a day of the most beautiful emotions, most loving friends and family and an honest-to-goodness joyful love, evident in each of their kisses and all of their moments throughout the day.

I agree with Dr. Kendi. Either a person is bluntly anti-racist or just a closeted bigot. That is the American reality of 2019.
Let's INTERCONNECT ~ Why I'm attending the IONS conference
I believe there is an easy answer to the hard problem of consciousness and I am looking for mentors. meetings in the Bay Area during mid-July and financial backers to help me spread a message of light, love, and the basic flow of being a human that happens when we can live in a world that is setup for all life to flourish.
What is a Personal Wellbeing Narrative?
My niche is helping unwell people create a coherent narrative so that they can communicate precisely with medical practitioners of all sorts. I firmly believe that unresolved trauma, especially in people who haven't realized they were traumatized, creates a rift in the bodymind that produces a tendency to manifest certain diseases in reliable patterns until the suppressed trauma is resolved.
1st Things 1st ~ Optimize Your Oxygen Intake
"How much air should we breathe for optimum health? Wouldn't it be fair to surmise that air, even more important than food or water for human survival, must also meet basic requirements?
The quantity of the air you breathe has the potential to transform everything you thought you knew about your body, your health, and your performance. What if healthy breathing habits were just as important as healthy eating habits in fostering maximum fitness - or, in fact, even more so?"
The Downward Search for Nuance
Looking down on it, as I so often do, the room seems alive. A bit dark, but that's only because the man who lives there has went out to get dinner and has shut all the windows and doors, save mine, so as to guard against burglary. Normally it is so vibrant. Maybe that is why my mind resides there. I can find the vitality and freedom that is lacking in my actual surroundings. And even though I do nothing but gaze down into that window during the evenings, I feel as though I lived there for years.
The Reality of Virtual Relationships
The world of social media is allowing us, as a species, to communicate in a manner closer to pure consciousness than we have had the chance to in our recorded human history.
Let's face it. Bodies are complicated. We all have physical needs, wants, quirks, and awkwardness. It takes a lot of trial and error to bond with a person when bodies also have to be sorted.
But when we get online and we type, is it not the case that much of that body overhead can be put aside? It is for me.
Mourning Broccoli
In a moment of sheer genius or intuition. I plopped that huge broccoli stalk down in front of her. Assuming I'd pick it up, untouched, after my dinner.
She immediately started sniffing it. Then she started eating it. My dog LOVES broccoli. Raw broccoli. Preferably the stalks. She will get around to eating the florets, eventually. But she starts at the hard, dried out bottom of the stalk and works her way up. When she does get to the florets, it is a treat for me, because she starts shaking them apart like prey.
Deja écrit ~ How do you experience what you've already written?
deja écrit - the sensory experience of reading something you wrote yourself some time ago
I believe I am not alone in realizing the fact that I spend too much time fretting about what I am writing. I would like to encourage myself – and maybe you – to get on with it a bit more.
Beginner's Mind Thoughts on Mindfulness vs Meditation
" I practice mindfulness to learn to be present in my life and I practice meditation to step out of the bounds of my life and experience the wonderful awe of being alive and in possession of the miraculousness of consciousness."
Healing Sound
After a post of full frontal honesty, nothing clears the mind like clearing the mind. My journey with Tibetan Bowls started around a dozen years ago.
She loosened me up for around 10 minutes and then said I am going to place something on your back.
That something was the most profound healing tool I have yet encountered.
A Tibetan bowl.
No More Sweet Little Lies
By refusing to ever again tell myself sweet little lies, I step into the emotions of my present, in order to feel them and become free to chose to express my love for life and others with the unbounded joy I squashed as a child, who was taught that sort of exuberance just wasn't part of life.
A Deeply Felt Testimonial for Cyndi Wilkins
The simple act of caring for someone, their pain, listening to what they need to say, is not often part of the lives we live today.
When this capacity is bundled within someone with a talent for massage, therapeutic results skyrocket.
I urge everyone to consider surrendering to the powers of massage with Cyndi. You just may be joyously surprised at what else will unfurl in your life.
A Wrinkle in Time
This book was a very strong instigator of the way I have played the game of life. I am not afraid of inquiring about the mysteries surrounding our existence. I feel it a privilege to dwell in the uncertain and unknown. And I find it a gift to be able to bring just a sliver more clarity to the extent of what is truly possible, when we unleash our minds to travel each day, open to being WONDERSTRUCK!
Yes, Jo, there still is a library
This is just a quick peon to the place that houses books. I am so very proud to say that my very first ever job was in a library. I still feel lucky to have entered the world of a paycheck in a place that surrounded me with the tools of the trade of a philosopher and reader and now 30 day challenge writer.
Today I am content
The world will heal if we are all mindfully ensuring the proper expenditure of our energy.
In the midst of radical, life-enhancing, and yet quotidian changes, there is a masterful power in being present to a fleeting moment of contentment.
I am searching for a writer's retreat
A situation beyond the centers of grinding commutes. In a place with a different tempo. Where silence is surrounding. Conversations flow. And simple joy can unfold. Finding a place to breathe fresh salty air and be rejuvenated by access to water is my primary objective.
What Do I Want to Be When I Grow Up is a Misleading Question
Let us figure out how to seek harmony with the whole planet, every single precious ecosystem and niche of life, in the course of designing work and governments and communities that support the really miraculous capacity of each human being to create, innovate, and love.
I demand a life-centric world.
The Life Altering Power of a Roadtrip
This is the crucial part, the lesson that just keeps arriving. Which is, well, we never arrive. We never arrive at a destination of mind. Our mind is always on a roadtrip. Every single waking moment.
Imagine the power of a roadtrip, right across the whole continent, showering you with chances to shout the words you most need to hear!

Categories: Hen Party Advice
Everybody loves fun hen nights or a good hen spa weekend but sometimes it just doesn't cut it for some of us. After all, some of us would rather eat the cucumbers then have them on our eyes. Some of us are secret foodies that would love nothing more than enjoying a good plate of food and a glass of wine. However doing that for your hen hardly seems that exciting. So we've had a chat with some of the food loving hens in the office and asked them what their personal favourite "foodie" hen party activity is…

After the Gunners host the champions, the team now managed by Emery are at Chelsea . The pair are among six Premier League clubs in the competition, with Manchester City , Manchester United , Tottenham and Liverpool also competing. And 2019 faces an explosive start with Liverpool due to travel to the Etihad for what promises to be another key game in the battle for the title next season.
Under the deal, Alvarez would get 57.5 percent of the revenue generated by the fight. The pair's first bout last September ended in a controversial draw, with judge Adalaide Byrd's scorecard of 118-110 in favour of Alvarez widely ridiculed.
On Monday, the tournament presented Nadal with a gift, two hands with 11 fingers and the slogan, "11 is supernatural". Across the other slow-medium clay venues - Monte Carlo, Barcelona and here - Nadal has utterly schooled Thiem. World number one Rafael Nadal beat Dominic Thiem in three sets to claim his 11th French Open title . This historical analysis doesn't lend itself to fancying Thiem's chances of denying Nadal an 11th French Open title this afternoon, and neither did my ...
Mane is now in Russian Federation with the Senegal squad, as they bid for progress from Group H, taking on Poland (June 19), Japan (June 24) and Colombia (June 28). Mane, however, refused to rule out a move to the side he believes are the "best in the world" in his quest for trophies. The defeat is ticked off. "That's my whole focus".
Thirty-two national teams are participating in the World Cup football championships in Russian Federation. "Obviously the money is not the only element, obviously", he told a news conference later in the day. With M&T Bank Stadium's $120 million renovation set to be completed by next fall, city officials will have two years to address issues both technical and otherwise.
And then the finish to the 61st edition of this tournament, which started back in 1958 at Colonial Country Club, and has had winners named Nicklaus, Player and Trevino, somehow got even better. "It was nice to be back in the hunt, to get the lead and to get the juices flowing a little bit". After winning his 18th title on the PGA Tour this past weekend, Johnson added it has boosted his confidence level more than reclaiming the top spot in the rankings.
And the German is not ruling out giving reserve stopper Danny Ward the chance to compete with Karius for the No.1 jersey. Salah went on to have a record-breaking season at Liverpool and is now regarded as one of the best forwards in the world.
Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has challenged fellow countryman Paul Pogba to "get angry" at the World Cup this summer when representating France . Whilst it's important to have speedy wingers with a goal threat and a target man to aid in the quick transition from defence to attack, it's worthless without a central midfielder boasting an impressive range of passing, able to pick them out with long passes.
The Belgium global featured just 14 times in the Premier League last season, with his campaign disrupted by suggestions of a contract stalemate as well as hamstring and thigh injuries. Newcastle United, Everton and even Leicester City are the clubs interested in signing the 20-year-old on loan for next season. The Belgian defender also believes that England, a team he knows well following his years playing in the Premier League, will have a good tournament in Russian Federation.
The result at the FIFA Congress on the eve of the 2018 tournament means global football's showpiece event will return to the North American continent for the first time since the United States hosted it in 1994. Russian politician Igor Lebedev will get his way and hooliganism will become an official sport midway through the tournament in a bid to remove the carnage from the terraces and the streets.
Despite the fact that team Iran goes unfancied to the World Cup this year, yet, they have won over fans hearts. United States-based sport and clothing company Nike announced it will not provide cleats to Iran's national team ahead of the 2018 World Cup , scheduled to begin on June 14, citing USA sanctions.
In a quote translated by the Moscow Times , Pletnyova said: "It is one thing if the parents are of the same race; quite another if they are of different races". "Then they come to me at the committee and cry that the child was taken away, removed, and so forth". Pletnyova cautioned that even if a Russian woman married the foreign father of her child, problems could still arise if they become estranged.
Martial's agent told RMC Sport "After looking at all the possibilities and different factors, Anthony wants to leave Manchester United ". "There are many reasons, for now it is too early to discuss it. Without the unconditional support of the fans he would have already asked to leave United. "But he got hooked and showed great professionalism and was successful".
Pollard extended South Africa's advantage with a penalty, though the fly-half's effort was sandwiched between two misses that kept England in touch. "It's an enormously symbolic thing for South African rugby and shows that transformation is working". England at least emerged from a pulsating Johannesburg opener without any significant injury concerns, with Tom Curry and Daly suffering minor cramp and a dead leg respectively.
These kids will be taken as much for what they can be as for what they are now. One player who looks like an early lottery pick is Michigan State big man Jaren Jackson Jr. 4. This was the first workout Jackson Jr. has attended and it's not a surprise that he's turning some heads. Jackson Jr. seems like he is built for the modern National Basketball Association and it isn't too surprising that teams covet him early in the draft.
Our final pre-season fixture takes place just two days after the Community Shield, so you can expect a heavily rotated side. Arsenal said they would still play in Stockholm that day, with their opponents to be announced at a later date. However, concerns over stadium availability and the Spanish club's withdrawal as a result of Europa League commitments forced a change to the schedule.
The Birmingham-born schemer is open to staying at Villa Park for another season, despite their 1-0 defeat to Fulham in the Championship play-off final. The reason we ask is that the local media, the Chronicle Live , are reporting that, although the club rates the player highly, they won't be pursuing the possible acquisition of Jack Grealish .
It will come 32 years after the USA first hosted the 1994 World Cup, an event which kicked off the popularity of the sport in America. The win was rooted in those factors, but it also served as validation for the intense, exhaustive campaign led over the past few months by Cordeiro and fellow United Bid co-chairs, Canada Soccer president Steven Reed and Mexican federation chief Decio de Maria.
Yes, we are going to focus on our strengths and our positives, without thinking about Afghanistan . This decision of allowing players time to prepare for the Test by monitoring their training schedules was a conscious one. "When you look at it, all spinners in this contest will be excellent". We all know the stats but we don't want to focus on the stats. Afghanistan was awarded full member status alongside Ireland in June previous year.
Former world champion Ricky Hatton has admitted to thinking Tyson Fury would never return to boxing. His corner chose to spare the Albanian from further drawn-out punishment by withdrawing him at the end of the fourth round. "We took Seferi, who had a good record and a tough chin and he took me a few rounds". Former heavyweight champion Fury had not fought since dethroning Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 and suffered various drug, alcohol and mental health issues since then.
Anderson will sit out the games against Worcestershire and Hampshire as part of a six-week period of rest in a bid to be ready to face the tourists in a five-match series which starts on August 1. "The whole world knows that [we have very good spinners in] Rashid Khan , Mujeeb [Ur Rahman], [Mohammad] Nabi , Rahmat [Shah], Zahir [Khan]", ESPNcricinfo quoted Stanikzai, as saying.
Philippe Lamboley, Martial's representative, issued a stinging rebuke of United by claiming they had not demonstrated they were serious about keeping the player after eight months of protracted negotiations came to nothing. "Without the great support from the fans, he would have already asked to leave the club". Tottenham are also interested, and Martial has intimated that he would be prepared to move to White Hart Lane, though United would rather he was sold overseas.
Having only just this week been part of a deal to feature at Old Trafford next season from Shakhtar Donetsk, Brazilian star Fred has suffered an injury on global duty which may put him out of this summer's World Cup tournament in Russian Federation.
Before Wednesday, Amelia's highest score was 81 not out and that was her lone fifty-plus innings. Seventeen-year-old New Zealander Amelia Kerr struck the highest individual score in Women's ODIs with an unbeaten 232 against Ireland in the third ODI in Dublin.
According to Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News, the two could be approaching a "healing stage" and are trying to schedule a meeting "to discuss any issues or concerns Leonard may have". The Celtics may not be willing to break up their current roster quite so easily in the wake of their success in the Playoffs. When he's healthy he's one of the 3-5 best players in the world, a ruthlessly efficient scorer and the best perimeter defender the National Basketball Association has seen ...
The joint North American bid defeated the bid of Morocco 134-65 , with one vote for "None of the bids". It is expected US will but Canada has only ever played at one World Cup , so their place is not a straightforward decision for those in power.
Maybe this is tough now, but in the end it will make us stronger. "What the Spanish team achieves, will have to do with the work he has developed", Rubiales told reporters at a press conference in Krasnodar . Lopetegui was announced as the new Real Madrid boss on Tuesday, taking over from departed Zinedine Zidane after the tournament. Team captain Sergio Ramos from Madrid is the only player to have insisted Lopetegui stay on.
It's their league now, without question. The Warriors clinched a 4-0 series win with a 108-85 rout of the Cavs , giving Kerr the eighth championship of his illustrious career as a player and a coach. Cavaliers forward Kevin Love shot only 4-of-13 from the field. So if you make a mistake, they're going to make you pay. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver marvels at how the Warriors have put themselves in this position.
The NCAA announced on Wednesday a change to its redshirt rules, which will now allow a player to participate in up to four games without without losing his redshirt. Under the new system, a student can inform his or her current school of a desire to transfer, and then the school must enter that student's name into a national transfer database within two business days.
Maybe a taco will cheer up the sad Cavs fans. "We know one thing is for certain, everyone will be rooting for tacos", added Marisa Thalberg, the global chief brand officer for Taco Bell. Who needs Taco Tuesday when you have free taco Wednesday?! No substitutions are allowed and no purchase is necessary. There are three Doritos shell types as well: regular, Cool Ranch, and Fiery.
As noted in the report, both Napoli and Atletico Madrid have been linked with a move for the Germany global, but Arsenal appear poised to win the race for his signature. Emery announced during his first press conference that he had already completed a full review of the squad, before he had even met any of his new players, and it looks like he is wasting no time to try and fix its problems.
With that said, nobody has shot up draft boards to the extent that Kevin Huerter has. We go through the Clippers interest in Luka Doncic and the chances of them trading up to get him. But one thing this team has been missing for years is that franchise-altering player that every championship team has to have. With cap space, and the need to rebuild, the Clippers can afford to take on the awful contract of Chandler Parsons by parting ways with Tobias Harris and Patrick Beverley, both of ...
He follows fellow former British winners Brian Robinson, Robert Millar, Sir Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome in to the history books. It came on a 110 kilometres stage from Frontenex which is nearly a carbon copy of this year's Tour de France stage 11.
But Mbappe took to Twitter after the incident , saying: "I'm fine, it's just a knock so it doesn't matter but thank you for your messages. And let my friend Rami [know] it was not nasty". The 1998 winners also face South American side Peru and fellow Europeans Denmark in Group C and they are heavy favourites to progress to the knockout rounds as winners.
Morocco , which has now lost five bid campaigns, was classy in defeat - congratulating the North American winners. Morocco's bid, for example, received vocal support from France and a large contingent of Middle Eastern and North African nations.

This document describes how to take an updated, ready-to-publish Workspot desktop template (image) and publish it to a non-persistent desktop pool.
A Workspot non-persistent desktop pool presents users with a fresh desktop each time they log in. Any changes the user makes to the desktop are lost, including personalization, altered system settings, and installed programs. This applies only to the virtual desktop: the contents of network shares, remote servers, and Active Directory behave as usual.
(This is unlike Workspot persistent desktop pools, where each user has a dedicated desktop that retains all their changes, just as a physical desktop does.)
Because a non-persistent desktop reverts to the pool's virtual desktop image every session, Windows Update and similar update services are ineffective when run on user desktops. To make persistent changes, you must update the master template (image) of the pool.
This updating process is done in two phases:
- Updating the template (covered in a separate document, Workspot Agent Installation for Templates).
- Publishing the template to the pool (covered below).
How to Publish Updated Desktop Images
Summary of the Publication Process:
- In Control, go the the Virtual Desktop Pools list and select the Update Image option.
- Select your new template.
- Select when users will have their sessions terminated.
- Publish.
1. In Control, Select "Update Image" for Your Pool
- Log into Workspot control as an administrator.
- Go to Control > Resources > VDI Pools.
- Find your desired pool in the Manage Virtual Desktop Pools table.
- From the drop-down Actions menu in the right-hand column, select Update Image. This will take you to the Update Image page.
2. Select Your New Template
- The Update Image page will show greyed-out Virtual Network and VM Instance Selection fields. This is normal, since these are retained from the existing pool and cannot be modified here.
- On the Update Image page, click Select New to pop up the template selection dialog.
- Click the Select button of the desired image. (If it is not shown, use the popup's Search function.) The Update Image page will appear.
3. Select When Users Will Have Their Sessions Terminated
The image update process cannot run on active desktops: these desktops will continue to run the old image until the user's session terminated. Sessions are terminated either through a user logoff or a forced logoff. Users may lose work in a forced logoff.
There are three logoff scheduling options on the Update Image page:
- Schedule now: Forces an immediate logoff for all active users, followed by a template update.
- Schedule at: Like Schedule Now, but defers the update until the specified data and time.
- On Log Off: Update desktops with no logged-in users immediately. Update other desktops when the users log off. If there are any non-updated desktop at the specified data and time, force logoffs and update the desktops.
Workspot recommends minimizing the loss of user data by using the "On Log Off" option with a generous time limit, such as "Monday at 1:00 AM."
- In the Schedule section, click "On Log Off."
- In the Date field, set a reasonably distant date, such as next Monday.
- In the Time field, pick a reasonably idle time, such as 1:00 AM.
4. Publish
- At the bottom of the Update Image page, click Save. This starts the update process.
- You will be returned to the Resources > VDI Pools page. An animated progress indicator will show that the update is underway.
