Congratulations to The Cadillac Three's frontman, Jaren Johnston and his wife Evyn, who are expecting their first child in April 2017.
The singer/songwriter made the announcement last night (Oct. 13) in Nashville during their set on Florida Georgia Line's Dig Your Roots Tour. Jaren told the crowd about the baby before launching into, "White Lighting," the song he wrote about his love for his wife.
"Evyn and I have been together for 15 years," Jaren said in a statement. "We've been through so much together but nothing has ever been as exciting as expecting our first baby. We can't wait to meet this little bad ass in April!"
After making the announcement the band tweeted a message about the evening. "Last night was special," they posted. "Thank you Nashville! See y'all tonight Evansville! -tc3"
Congratulations to the happy couple!
Last night was special . Thank you Nashville!
See y'all tonight Evansville!

The Juice Odyssey: Part III
Crussh – Eastcastle Street
A recent discovery of mine, and I have to admit, from the outside the place didn't look so promising. However, my mind was changed as soon as I tasted the strawberry juice/smoothie. It was called something super cliché like 'strawberry cool' or something, but don't let that put you off!! Yes, they could be more inventive with their juice-naming, but let's not hold something so small against them. The juice/smoothie was so good I even considered getting another as soon as I'd finished my first (I can be greedy like that). However, there was just something about it which didn't quite make it my perfect juice (it was a smoothie hahaha). The search continues…
The Juice Odyssey: Part II
Wholefoods – High St Kensington
They vary so much from store to store so it's harder to judge fairly, but I greatly enjoyed my 'summer fruits' juice/smoothie thing which was made fresh outside the Wholefoods in Kensington. I'm not sure how much choice there is, but if you like berries, this one is great. It's icy, too (always a bonus – not like there's ever cold weather in London). The great thing about Wholefoods is that it sells a ton of delicious-looking HEALTHY food. I know, I know, lots of healthy food looks unappetizing (quinoa – eww) but seriously, Wholefoods manages to make their salads look as appealing as a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. So yeah my point is, you can buy a juice AND some healthy food ( but it gets kinda expensive so normally I just walk around fantasizing about what I'd buy if I had an unlimited budget, which is fun too).
The Juice Odyssey: Part I
I am on a quest to find the perfect juice in London. Now that the weather has finally improved, it's nice to be able to pick up a freshly made juice from a street stall or juice bar. However, it's harder than it seems to find a gooood juice. There are always problems – for me, it's too much choice. There are so many combos, so many flavours, I just don't know which one to pick… Also, now it seems you can get all sorts of fancy add-ons like ginger shavings and wheatgrass shots (I have NO clue what those are). Anyway, we've been trying out a few places around London to see what's on offer. Here's Part I.
The Natural Kitchen – Marylebone
Sooooo I went today to get a juice from the Natural Kitchen. First of all, you pick a base (the choice is apple, carrot or orange). Then, you pick three other ingredients – fruits or vegetables – to complete your juice. The problem here is, I'm no juice expert. I just basically picked the fruits I liked in the hope that it would all turn out well. It didn't. The mango and watermelon tasted a bit funky together and you couldn't taste the ginger at all. I have to say, at £3.95 for a potentially disgusting concoction, it's really not worth it. The search continues….
Joe and the Juice
Joe and the Juice is the best smoothie & juice bar in the world. Everything's made with fresh fruit and you have to be good-looking to be a juicer.
Not complaining.
The only downside is that they're expensive- £3.85 for a small and £4.95 for a large but it's totally worth it: my favourites are the "energy shake" and "Joe's sweet kiss".
Originally Danish, jatj has been in London for a few years and stores seem to be popping up all over: near Oxford St, in Soho and on the Kings Road. And here's the good news- there are more arriving all over Europe! Hamburg, Germany recently got one, and others are rumoured to be opening up….

How I look after my mental health
Mental health is a tricky subject.
There seems to be a lot of stigma around having mental health issues....even though most people have or have had mental health struggles. There are so many factors that go into mental health - genetics, situations, nutrition, medications, stress levels, etc, that it's no wonder that so many individuals deal with this. It's not shameful to have mental health issues...it doesn't make you weak, less than other people, or "not normal." In fact, I think if all of us were more honest with the state of our mental health, we'd realized that SO MANY PEOPLE are going through what we're going through. Yes, even supermodels and that dude on Instagram who takes pictures with his Lambo. Yes, your parents and friends and neighbours. Most people have had to deal with some kind of mental health issue - the few who haven't are in the minority, not the majority.
With that said, what works for me may not work for you and vice versa. It may be worth a shot to see if it will work for you - but if it doesn't, then no worries, try to find something that does. Alternatively, sometimes things work sometimes and other times they don't work at all. That's normal, too. Don't discount it too quickly. Give it a shot and if it consistently doesn't help then move on. I'm not "THE MENTAL HEALTH GURU" but I have been making more of an effort to take care of my mental health and it seems to be working so keep that in mind.
So, yeah. Let's jump into it.
Some Background:
I don't take medication for depression or anxiety and I never have. I have self-diagnosed myself with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), which hits me really hard in the Vancouver winter. I go through light-therapy in the winter to help with this and C and I will probably end up moving somewhere sunny eventually to help me deal with this. I've also recently been officially diagnosed with ADHD...though I've believed I had ADHD for a long time and I had many coping mechanisms to deal with it. I am currently trying medication and seeing where that leaves me as far as productivity and executive functioning goes. It's all a work in progress but I'm feeling positive I'm moving in the right direction. The tips below have helped me deal with these issues; however, if you are prescribed medication to help with your mental health then of course, keep taking them! Consider these a supplement to your meds, okay? And of course, if you're having issues with your medication, talk to your doctor about it and see how they can help you out. You can't just "force" yourself to get better when it comes to health so don't even try. Seriously.
Tip #1: DON'T DRINK
I like alcohol....probably a little too much. A glass of wine usually turns into 2...turns into 3....you get the drift. I'm a damn lush.
I never realized how bad it made me feel until probably about....1 year ago? I would wake up the next morning and just feel depressed. Completely depressed, lethargic, gross, crabby. And no, not the normal hungover feeling (though sometimes that too). Just like there was a gray cloud over my life and everything was dark in my life.
Sometimes this would happen even after 1 glass of wine. It was like playing Russian Roulette. Was this going to make me depressed?
Now that I've realized the correlation between my moods and the alcohol - I really try to reign it in. If I'm already in a bad mood, I don't drink. I know, 100% that it will make it all that much worse. I don't drink at home anymore - I don't have wine in my fridge and I don't even have a glass of wine with dinner. If I go out, I try to stick to cider or hard liquor (which seems to be better on my moods, for some reason?). I also eat while I drink and that seems to help as well.
For the most part though, I try to restrict my alcohol consumption to once every 2 weeks and I go into it knowing that the next day I'll probably feel really bad mentally. When I've got that awareness, it helps me get out of my funk the next day. I can just chalk it up to last night's shenanigans.
Tip #2: Cardio
I feel like this is the tip that you read in every single article ever.
But seriously. Cardio is the best mood enhancer ever.
Whether it's biking or swimming or running or hiking - whenever I need to blow off steam, my go-to is cardio. I think cardio makes you feel alive in some primal way...and it's impossible to feel bad when you're in the middle of it. I've gone for a run feeling SO ANGRY and come back whistling and thinking the world is full of rainbows and butterflies. It's amazing.
I try to do something that gets me panting and breathing hard at least 2-3 times a week. At the moment, I'm all about the running...but I like to switch it up. If I'm pissed off or stressed, I always try to get in some cardio. It seems to A) Calm me down and B) Gives me time to think about what I was so upset about...and then usually I realize it's not worth being upset about.
Tip #3: Nature
I live in a fairly big city but I'm lucky that there are plenty of places to go for hikes or walks. I live across the street from a large park and I walk around there on a daily basis - but even I didn't, I'd end up heading to the nearest green space to get some peace of mind.
There's something about hiking under big trees that is very relaxing and kind of puts things in perspective. I think the fresh air and the animals and the outdoors is just so...important. Sitting inside staring at a computer all day isn't going to make you feel good mentally or physically. The human body was meant to be free...it was meant to explore and move and feel sun on the skin. You know, humans didn't evolve to live in caves 24/7. So I try to get outside once a day....especially in greenspaces. Hiking trails or walking around a lake or even a park makes a big difference when I'm feeling upset. It also gives me some much needed time to figure out what's going on in my head.
Tip #4: Nutrition
When I neglect my nutrition, my brain feels it.
I know that it's very easy for me to become iron-deficient so I take B12 and iron supplements. I also know that when I'm iron-deficient I'm lethargic, negative, and depressed. I know that dairy and gluten messes up my stomach and stops me from absorbing other important vits and mins so I stay away from it. I know an excess of meat in my diet makes my PMS unbearable and makes me moody as hell...so I don't eat it.
It's been a lot of trial and error with these foods and everyone handles foods differently. I have a ton of food allergies and GI issues - so eating fairly clean is very important to me. With that said, I think that people focus more on how many calories they should be eating, but don't focus on the kinds of foods they should be eating. The more vits and mins you can pack into your life, the better you'll feel. Your body needs fuel and that should come from healthy sources. Your brain needs these things to function and when it is deprived....you will feel it mentally. That's when it becomes a cycle - Feel bad ---> Eat Garbage ---> Feel Worse ---> Eat more Garbage. You get my drift.
Tip #5: Limit Social Media / Negative Media
I don't go on Facebook much.
I don't watch cable news.
I only follow people on IG that leave me with a smile on my face.
I actively walk away from media that makes me feel terrible.
Some people may think that I'm burying my head in the sand...and maybe I am. I am well-aware that the world is a terrible, terrible place - I don't need to hear about it every second of the day. I used to get so upset and angry about things that were completely beyond my control...but the less I focus on those things, the more I time I have to fill my life with more positive things and people. That doesn't mean that I never pay attention to current events - but it means I've cut down on consuming it significantly. The same goes for FB - I'll check it once a week at most and leave it at that. I don't find either of these things brings much value into my life at this time, so I try to limit my emotional response to them.
Tip #6: Mindfulness
I'm not good at being mindful...but the good news is, I'm getting better at it.
I try to do yoga a few times a week (which I'll go do after I'm writing this article, actually!) so that I can focus on my breathing and moving through the poses. I've found this has translated beautifully in my life. When I start to get stressed, I concentrate on my breathing and being in the present and it somehow seems to help. This has also helped me get to sleep easier. I used to stay awake, tossing and turning. Now I just focus on my breathing for about a minute and Voila! Sleep!
Yoga isn't for everyone and I get that. Neither is meditation. And damn, whenever I try to meditate, I end up feeling like I'm the worst at it. But I think if you're going through some stuff...it's worth a shot. I started doing yoga a few years ago and I found it tough and frustrating and thankless at the beginning. I thought it was too hard. But if you stick with it and do it fairly consistently, you start to see the changes in yourself and it becomes easier. I'm not a guru by any stretch of the imagination but I've seen progress and I get a lot more back from it now.
Tip #7: Prioritize my happiness
This tip sounds really, really easy - but it becomes increasingly hard the more responsibilities you have.
I'm also not sure if this is controversial or not...but whatever! It works for me!
I try to do things in my life based on how happy they will make me. I'm dating someone who makes my life better in every way, I exercise because it makes me feel good, I'm a vegan because it brings joy into my life, my friends are all people who make me smile. If I come home and want to relax and I don't want to do the dishes immediately, I don't do them. If I feel like cleaning the whole house from top to bottom, I do it. If I want to eat chocolate, I eat chocolate. If I want to eat salad, I eat salad.
I try to do things that make me happy, for the most part. I feel as though a lot of people feel that they HAVE TO DO LIFE a certain way. They become slaves to their life. And yeah, we all have responsibilities and I get that. But these people become martyrs because they feel that their needs aren't getting met and they refuse to change the situation. They'll stay at a job they loathe because they need the money. They'll stay with someone that makes them miserable because that's how it's always been. They'll wait on everyone else and forget who they are in the process.
I try not to do that. I try to balance the crappy responsibilities with the fun things to the best of my abilities. And yeah, that means that sometimes the laundry doesn't get done on time. Oh well. It's just laundry.
Tip #8: Sleep
I always joke that I'm an old lady because I consistently go to bed around 10:30pm and wake up about 6:15am.
But this has actually become a necessity in my life and one of the things that has helped me deal with moodiness and lethargy. Everyone else has a set amount of time they need for sleep - and mine just happens to be a solid 7 hours. I prioritize this like nobody's business because I know if I don't, I'm going to have a rough day. Even on Friday and Saturday, I try to stick to this schedule (if I'm not hanging out). I find that exercise helps me get to sleep so that's another reason I try to get in some cardio, yoga, or weight lifting in during the day....especially if I feel I've got a lot of energy after work. I think that getting enough sleep also helps me with my nutrition - when I'm tired or hungover, all I crave is sweet, oily food (which in turns makes me feel like garbage). When I've had a good night's sleep, I could care less about junk food and I've got more energy to do the things I enjoy.
So I find sleep has become a big part of my mental health routine.
Tip #9: Vit D
I find Vancouver nearly unbearable in the fall, spring, and winter. 3/4th of the year, it's raining, cloudy, and overcast.
I'm a sun baby. I could easily be happy living on a beach for the rest of my life. If it was summer every day....I would be more than okay with that. That's actually my dream. I'd love to be a snowbird - have a nice place in Mexico to retreat to during the Vancouver winters and then come back to Vancouver in the late spring.
However, that's a long way in the future.
How I deal with it now is I take liquid Vit D in the morning. Every. Morning. And yes, I find the liquid Vit D helps much more than the tablets. I also make an effort to go out into the sun when it's sunny. Whether that means going for a run in the sun or reading on the grass - I try my best to get a bit of a tan when I can. I would also suggest getting your Vit D levels checked with your yearly blood panel. A lot of times when your Vit D is low, you can experience depression so keep on top of it. It's helped me a lot.
Tip #10: Pets
Pets. Pets are the answer to happiness.
At the moment, C and I have pet rats. Yes, you read that right, pet rats. We have 2 baby girls, Mint and Aloe. I'll be honest - I never thought I'd ever own pet rats. Turns out, they're amazing pets that bring both of us a ton of joy. They're perfect for our apartment (clean and quiet) and they fit into our life and work schedule. Eventually, we'll probably have pet dogs and who knows what else, but at the moment, our rats scratched our pet itch.
My point is, having a furry companion seems to make life just a little bit brighter. Pets won't judge you if you stay home all day in your PJs eating (non-dairy!) ice cream. They'll give you the companionship that you crave when you're lonely and feel like the world doesn't understand you. They'll make you laugh. So, if you can, adopt a pet or spend some time around pets when you're having "one of those days". It'll do wonders.
Tip #11: Have an outlet
Find something you're passionate about and pursue that. Whether that's writing or dancing or collecting stamps - have something that gives you a sense of accomplishment outside of work.
Life starts to feel very shallow when you're living through other people's creations. When you consume other people's products or ideas instead of creating your own...things get boring and repetitive. Sitting at home watching Netflix is all well and good....but I don't feel satisfied after binge-watching Stranger Things 2. That's not to say I don't enjoy it in the moment, I do. But that happiness is very fleeting. Compare that to writing an article or hiking a new trail or cooking a delicious new meal - those things bring me a deeper happiness that transcends the moment. Often this is because they're challenging and humans love overcoming a good challenge. On top of that, these things usually have a piece of me in them. Writing....well, that's obvious. But even hiking a new trail speaks to my adventurous side...and cooking may encompass my new-found love of plant food.
So I would strongly suggest finding a hobby that speaks to the things you love. And when you're having a shitty day....well, throw yourself at that hobby. It will leave you feeling a lot better than you would feel if you just hung out on the computer all night. Trust me on this one.
So, those are my top....11? tips for keeping my mental health in decent shape. I totally get that sometimes you just can't. Sometimes it feels easier to just lie in bed and stare at the ceiling and cry a bit. I've been there, too. I just find that doing these things makes those days further and further apart.
Now, what about you? Do you have any tips? I'd love to hear them if you do! Anything to help me put one foot in front of the other is always appreciated.
And as always, have a wonderful day, whoever you are! :)

Brian Buchanan Quotes
5 Brian Buchanan quotes:
"When you have the game almost taken away from you, and you're trying to get a job, you try to make the most of your opportunities."
"They said they'd bring me to as many games as they could out of [the Minor League] mini-camp. I've pretty much came to all of them."
"And then I see them at the games, and they just go, go, go. I never hear them complain. Heck, they're always so happy to be there. And it reminds me how lucky we are to have them."
"He was really good. He was in control of the game all night long. You really can't say enough good things about him and the way he played."

Inaugural lecture - System Recall? Leading for Excellence and Equity in Education
This inaugural lecture will consider what leaders can do to secure principled school and system improvement which fully embraces diversity, equity, and equality
This inaugural lecture focuses on what we know about contemporary educational improvement, transformation, and change. It will provide insights into what reform strategies work, long term, to build the capacity for principled change at the school and system level. The inaugural will consider what leaders can do to secure principled school and system improvement which fully embraces diversity, equity, and equality. It will also dispel some myths about reform at scale and challenge some prevailing ideas about educational change that, it will be posited, are not helping many young people to reach their potential.
The main argument of the lecture is that too many school and system improvement initiatives have not paid sufficient attention to equity issues in their pursuit of ever higher achievement and that the net effect of large-scale, international assessments have been to distract policy makers in ways that have not always benefitted young people.
The lecture proposes that it is time for a 'system recall' in education and an urgent need to look at what matters most in the pursuit of equitable educational goals.

Geneva Motor Show 2017: Porsche mulling electromobility push
Porsche has a strong opportunity to become one of the leading premium and performance brands.
IHS Markit Perspective:
- Significance: Porsche is looking at a major push in its electromobility programme which could lead to a full electric vehicle (EV) version of its best-selling Macan and which could lead to the company's famous 911 sports car range being offered as hybrids, according to the company's board member for sales.
- Implications: Porsche is uniquely placed to accelerate a push into electromobility for a high performance and high-end premium brand because of its split of sports cars and SUV models in its range, its position in the global market in terms of sales numbers and the high prices of its vehicles.
- Outlook: The company has recently announced an ultra-high performance PHEV variant of the Panamera, called the Panamera Turbo S E-hybrid, which is offered alongside the existing plug-in, which shows the potential for electric powertrains to supplement ICE performance, while a fully electric Macan would be a rival for Jaguar's forthcoming I-Pace. Accelerating its electromobility programme would be an intelligent move and would be able to leverage the wider VW Group's electromobility technology offering.
Porsche is considering introducing a full electric vehicle (EV) variant of the Macan to its model range as well as looking at the prospect of making the vast majority of the 911 range hybrids, as part of the wider push towards electromobility by its parent group Volkswagen (VW). In an interview with Reuters, Porsche's board member for sales and marketing Detlev von Platen said that the company was looking at expanding its efforts further in the field of EVs and hybrids beyond the flagship Mission E high performance EV that is due on the market by 2020. Speaking about Porsche's plans for future mobility von Platen said, "We have other ideas beyond the Mission E." He also said that the top-selling Macan "is of course a model line that we can imagine" for electrification. Von Platen also said he could envision Porsche introducing hybrid versions of its 911 and Boxster/Cayman sports cars, with a combination of gasoline (petrol) engines and electric motors. The company recently further diversified its plug-in hybrid range with the new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, which supplements the existing Panamera 4 E-Hybrid with the new Panamera Turbo S E-hybrid. The new model can drive between 15 and 31 miles in fully electric mode, while offering a combined ICE and electric power unit figure of 671bhp and 627 lb/ft of torque from just 1,400 rpm. This powertrain shows the performance and the efficiency benefits of combined high-performance hybrid systems, with the model being faster and significantly more efficient than the standard Panamera Turbo S.
Von Platen also commented on the prospects of the growth for the brand that has consistently set sales records in recent years, bolstered by the launch of the Macan in particular in 2014, culminating in a record sales tally of 238,000 units in 2016. The ongoing exponential increase in demand for premium cars in the US, China and Europe could push sales volumes past 300,000 units by 2020, along with further expansion and diversification of the model range. However, he also voiced his concern over there being an upper limit for Porsche volumes in order for the brand to maintain exclusivity. He added, "We are happy to grow and we want to grow but only on a very strong basis," he said. "The brand must remain exclusive."
Outlook and implications
Any strategy for Porsche to accelerate its electrification strategy beyond its commitment to the advanced, and undoubtedly very expensive Mission E high performance sedan and its existing plug-in hybrid range would be an intelligent move for the brand. It will be able to help fulfil the wider VW Group's target of 30 new full-electric vehicles by 2025 as well as being able to help Porsche present an image as a cutting-edge technology automotive brand that can leverage the performance benefits of electrification, in line with its existing brand values, as well as exploiting the benefits of lower or zero emissions and efficiency. In terms of IHS Markit's existing forecast we currently foresee Porsche introducing a plug-in variant of the next generation 911 in 2020, which we see selling around 3,000 to 4,000 units a year, or around 15%-20% of the range's combined volumes. We also have a fully-electric variant of the Macan coming on line in 2021, along with a plug-in hybrid variant. The full EV's long-term sales will reach around 10,000 units by 2026. There will also be PHEV variants of the forthcoming Macan and Cayenne coupés. However, it seems likely and feasible that more EVs and PHEVs will be added to the Porsche forecast in the short-to-medium term as the company develops its electrification strategy. The performance benefits of electric and hybrid powertrains fit in with its traditional brand values and the high price point of its cars can absorb battery cell costs more easily than some competitors. While its volume levels, and membership of the wider VW Group means it can drive supply and R&D synergies. In terms of the brand's sales volume forecast we see the brand hitting 300,000 units slightly later than its sales chief, with sales of 308,000 units in 2022.

Call Red Daugherty at 260-833-2315 or Ed Knisely at 717-741-2556 for the barreled action. They may not have one on hand but either will be more than happy to keep an eye out for one. There was one listed on Gunbroker but I don't know if it sold.
At $400.00 your still in the game on this one. Don't give up the ship just because there are "RATS" on it. We have all been duped at one time or another.
Red will be at the Spring Tulsa show. Look him up. Just look for the table with nothing but Trapdoors on it. I am pretty sure he will be on the lower level, east side about south of the center aisle.

around the bagua
I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I am still enjoying the festivities here in Atlanta with family for the rest of the weekend, having a wonderful and restful time. I am also truly grateful for your presence here. I would love to hear how your holiday was, so feel free to reply to this email and share with me :)
I'm writing you today to share a dream that has come true for me, and hopefully help you achieve your dream as well.
A little over 4 years ago I was stuck in the biggest rut of my life. I hated every part of it and was utterly broke and depressed. It was then that I signed up for a Feng Shui class and everything changed. I realized how much meaning and joy was missing from my life and keeping me stuck. Not only did my life get better, but I found my true calling, I started making money and getting clients, my marriage took a positive 180 degree turn and my relationships transformed. I owe this transformation to Feng Shui. If it weren't for that class, I wouldn't be here today. That one choice to take a chance and join a class with strangers changed my world in a way I could never imagine. It opened up so much opportunity that I used to create a new life worth living.
Ever since then, I have wanted to bring the same structure and incredible information to the world, myself, and now, I am! I am pleased to announce the launch of my 9-week virtual group program: Around the Ba'Gua: 9 Weeks To Energetically Up-Level Every Area of Your Life and you're invited to join with a special offer below.
Does your life look a little dim right now? Are you looking for an energetic re-charge? Looking to make more money, get that job, have that baby or find the one?
There might be something in your home that is blocking these things for you. There might be thought patterns that hold you back from receiving what you want or noticing it's mere presence in your life already. There might even be some energy within yourself or space that is just STUCK.
What if there were simple ways you could add INSTANT meaning and energy flow to your life? Would you want to know?
I've create a 9-week Virtual Group Program centered around Feng Shui called Around the Ba'Gua: 9 Weeks to Energetically Up-Level Every Area of Your Life for this exact reason. I have been passionately performing Feng Shui sessions for over 4 years and it's now time to bring it to the masses in a more structured, affordable and comprehensive way. If you are curious about Feng Shui and it's time to up-level YOUR life, check it out.
I'm offering $100 off this weekend only!
If you are seriously curious, you can schedule an Inspiration Session this weekend to find out if this program is right for you. There is only 8 spots left! I am here to support your highest and best decision.
GO HERE for more info and class details.
Cheers to your success!
Lots of love,

1.Wendell B "In Touch With My Southern Soul" (Smoothway Ent.)
Wendell B(rown) does a very R&B-flavored Southern Soul and by the time this record dropped (simultaneously with the more R&B-leaning "Back To Bidness") Brown was already well-known for his deep, smooth baritone that may remind one of Luther Vandross mated with Will Downing with a hint of Barry White. After releasing one record as Wendell Brown he began being noticed in 1995 as just Wendell B. for "Good Times", then his reputation cemented with "Time To Relax: Love, Life & Relationships" but "In Touch With My Southern Soul" is hands down his most prosperous this far.
2. Bigg Robb "Soul Prescription" (Over 25 Sound)
Bigg Robb writes a sequel to "Good Lovin' Will Make You Cry" titled "The Crying Zone" and professes his "Moscato Love" on this powerhouse album of 18 tracks. Fun tracks like the Zapp Funk of "So Delicious" fills the prescription and can cure what ails ya.
3.Carl Marshall "Love Who You Wanna Love" (CDS)
Carl Marshall is on top of his game. His signature song "Good Lovin' Will Make You Cry" gets an update graced by the vocals of Rue Davis, titled "Good Lovin' Testimony". But the centerpiece of the album is "I Lived It All". The song made it's first appearance in 2002 on Marshall's "This Is For Grown Folks" but it was given proper attention this go 'round, even being released as a single. Another highlight is the David Brinston guest vocal on "Let's Dance Let's Shag", another song Marshall tweaked and gave a new home (it was first released as "Let's Dance" released on his rare "Let's Dance" CD).
4.Mel Waiters "I Ain't Gone Do It" (Waldoxy)
Waiters' last album for Malaco maintains the high standards already established. The hits this time are "Everything's Going Up", "Bar-B-Cue", "Down Home People" and the title track.
5. David Brinston "Beat It Up" (Ecko)
Aw David Brinston. One of the most iconic voices of modern Southern Soul. This album's so energetic and overflowing with hooks I have a kink in my neck from bobbing my head and my toes are cramping from tapping. Immense dance tracks like the title cut, "Booty Humpin; Grind", "Bounce That Booty" and "Bus Stop" are pure ear candy. The album mercifully lets you catch your breath on the slow, boiling "Back On The Backstreets" and the midpaced "I'm A Reformed Cheater".
6. Queen Emily "Queen Emily" (Malaco)
Released stateside in 2011 but first released overseas in 2010 so on this list it belongs. Emily was a contestant on the TV show "America's Got Talent". which lead to her signing with Malaco Records. The album features her versions of some significant songs already in the Malaco catalog ("Still Crazy", "Going Crazy") as well as classic covers ("Use Me", "No Easy Way To Say Goodbye"). For me George Jackson's ballad "Throw Away Me" is the highlight.
7. LaMorris Williams "Sexy Soul Songs" (Rocks Landon)
Appropriate title to this Contemporary R&B drenched Soul album full of slick rollers and slinky slow jams produced bass-heavy and fat. This is baby makin' music for 'grown folks". The big hit was "Impala" followed by the dancers "Stroke It With A Motion" and "Make Your Body Roll". The songwriting is top notch with no bum tracks.
8. Luther Lackey "The Preacher's Wife" (Ecko)
The ridiculously-underrated one comes back strong with another slab of taboo-busting brilliance. The centerpiece of the album is "It Ain't Easy Being The Preacher's Wife", which gives a voice to that dirty preacher's other half. Another cheating-themed song "If She's Cheating On Me I Don't Want To Know" draws it's inspiration musically from Joe Tex ("Ain't Gonna Bump No More") and features a strong, singable refrain. This should have been a hit. The slowie "What It Takes To Get Her Is What It Takes To Get Her" is vintage Lackey.
9. Big G "Special Delivery" (Stone River/CDS)
Best album thus far benefits from better production and mastering. "Pop That Thang" has quite the thump to it, very infectious. The characteristic slowie "Misunderstood" is becoming one of G's best known songs. G's pinched, melancholy voice is so natural and fitting on this song it reaches perfection. Perhaps nobody- maybe not even his biggest influence Roy C- could do it better.
10. Floyd Taylor "All Of Me" (CDS)
This album was somewhat controversial with some critics and disc jockeys when it first dropped since Taylor moved further away from horn-fueled greatness of his Malaco albums (and his father's sound) but in reality Taylor had already started moving further into contemporary R&B with "You Still Got It" (both the song and album). Perhaps tracks like "I'm 'Bout It 'Bout It" sounded more like young R&B rather than Adult Contemporary but the quality of the music won out as four songs received maximum exposure. "All Of You, All Of Me", "Baby I Love You", "Cut To The Chase" and "'Bout It". A fifth song, "I Like The Way" became a hit when remixed for the "Deluxe" version of this album. Half the album was written and produced by Simeo.
11. Sweet Angel "A Girl Like Me" (Ecko)
The title cut is a fascinating tale (tall tale) about a younger Sweet Angel trying to be one of Bobby Rush's famed big booty dancers (see Bobby Rush concert review here). The song apes the groove of "Sue" but turns out Angel was initially too young (at 25) but 10 years later Rush said she was old enough but "too little" (at 155 lbs). The story has a happy ending when Angel opened up for Rush years later and got to show off her talent to Rush. "Bobby Rush, don't you wish you had a girl like me?". After that brief dip into Funk the remainder of the album is made up of above average midpaced Southern Soul and slowies.
12. Kenne' Wayne "The MVP" (G Street)
Following the demise of the Goodtime Records label Wayne finds himself it DIY territory with "The MVP". "Ride It Like A Cowboy" may just replace "The Licka Sticka" or "The Party Ain't Over" as Wayne's signature song. The song was huge especially in Louisiana. We get three versions here (regular, zydeco version, slide version). Other key tracks are "Wutang" and "Could You Be A Hater".
13. Walt Luv (aka Walt Love) "New Millennium Blues" (Monkey Wrench)
Luv has a smooth voice reminiscent of Tyrone Davis and this is his best selection of tracks thus far. There's only a handful of new cuts ("I Wanna Come Back", "Girl I Really Need You", "I Can't Win For Losing", "Footprints In The Sand") mixed with his "hits" like "She Threw A Monkey Wrench In My Game" (also known as "I Had To Change") and "Somebody To Call My own".
14. Will Easley "Smokin'" (CDS)
Easley's second album is loaded with dance cuts like "Work With It", "Wiggle When She Walk", "Back In the Mood" and "Big Girls Ain't Moody" It is apparent the aim was to up the ante on upbeat Southern Soul songs curtailing the smooth Urban AC that dominated his debut. That said the best song is the slow "Damn Fool".
15. Calvin Richardson "America's Most Wanted" (Shanachie)
Like Lenny Williams Richardson is a mainstream R&B artist that has also dipped his toe into the Southern Soul pool. He teamed up with noted record promoter David Austin aka "Team Airplay" to infiltrate this market with an album that makes no concessions to the sounds he would be competing with. This Top 20 already includes the very R&B-flavored album by LaMorris Williams. The Southern Soul market really is quite inclusive to begin with. Along with the traditional down home blues and Memphis-influenced Soul it incorporates Bobby Rush's folk-funk stylings and even the Hip Hop leanings of a Black Zack. In the end longtimers will say it's all "still called the blues". "America's Most Wanted" Urban Adult Contemporary music lushly produced and easy on the ears. "You're So Amazing" was the lead single.
16. Bobby Conerly "The New Old School" (Aviara Music)
Former songwriter in the Malaco/Waldoxy stable gets his highest profile as a recording artist with this effort. As expected these are well-written songs and Conerly has an authentic bluesy singing voice that proves he could have stepped up as an artist years ago (Conerly did self-release a couple albums like "7 Come 11" but they were largely ignored).
17. Earl Gaines "Good To Me" (Ecko)
Gaines passed way before sessions for his second Ecko album were wrapped up but label boss John Ward was able to piece a mighty fine album together from the new tracks that were finished ("You've Been Good To Me", "I'm Throwing In The Towel", etc.) some outtakes I'm guessing (due to the production style) procured from Gaines' longtime collaborator Ted Jarrett ("I'd Like To Try It One More Time", "It Ain't Easy To Tell The One You Love Goodbye"), and alternate versions (different mixes) of a few tracks from "Nothin' But The Blues". Both "Let's Call A Truce" and "If I Could Do It All Over" are presented without synthetic horns and come off even more moving and Soulful than before.
18. Ms. Jody "Ms Jody's In The Streets Again" (Ecko)
Now she's in the streets and has sex on the brain (more than usual that is). "Lick If You Can't Stick" gives dudes with E.D. issues some advice how to still please Ms. Jody. On the bumper "Tell Me When You Want It" she's ready to go and kinda answers it for herself with "I Wanna Make Love Tonight". Why is our gal so hot to trot? Well, "Ms Jody's In The Streets Again" because of her most recent, no-good man. She's more tender on the sweet ballad "You Had It All", however.
19. Denise LaSalle "24 Hour Woman" (Malaco)
The Queen's last album is a good but not great one. For some reason it does not feature the 100% live full band production Malaco is known for but instead features some MOR programmed tracks. Still it is Denise LaSalle so it has to be good. The first release was "Cheat Receipt". Much better are "Home Wrecker", "Too Many Women" and the downhome Blues "You Put One Over The Fence"
20. Captain Jack Watson "Brand New Man" (CDS)
Debut album from Dallas' own Captain Jack Watson boasts some greats songs from producer Carl Marshall such as the Billy Soul Bonds-like "I'm In Love With A Woman Other Women Talk About". More chivalry is found on "The Power Of A Man Is The Strength Of A Woman" and Watson is a "Brand New Man" thanks to his woman's love. Watson has a strong baritone that excels the most on slow jams.
1. Solomon Burke "Nothing's Impossible" (E1)
Burke's comeback that began with the phenomenal "Please Don't Give Up On Me" shows no sign of stopping on this equally magnificent new LP produced by Willie Mitchell. Gospel-influenced R&B and Deep Soul by a gifted singer. What's even more impressive is most of these songs are newish rather than classic covers. Mitchell either wrote or co-wrote nine songs while Burke penned three, two with Mitchell. But speaking of covers it must be magic or something else other-worldly that enables Burke to turn Ann Murray's maudlin "You Needed Me" into a bittersweet downtempo Soul song.
2. Tad Robinson "Back In Style" (Severn)
It's Tad Robinson and Severn Records, what could go wrong? Nothing does as this is yet another richly created set of Soul and Blues we've come to expect. Robinson's yearning, elastic vocals are in full force and supported by some excellent songs. My pick is "Sunday Morning Woman" written by Robinson, Steve Gomes and Keven Anker. Gorgeous horns and slippery organ that shows opposites do attract or more accurately a good woman carries the weight neglected by a "Saturday night man". What a song and what a vocal performance. In any other year this would be number one but...... Solomon Burke with Willie Mitchell happened so.....
3. Gus Collins "Soul Social" (Bonedog)
Bonedog Records was firing on all cylinders at this point and Gus Collins hops in behind the wheel of an ideal vehicle for his high octane soul testifying. Songwriter/bassist Mike Sweeney fits Collins with 10 originals (of 13 total) brimful of Funky R&B, a torchy ballad or two and oodles of shuffle bumping Soul with resplendent horns, organ and flawless rhythm. It just flat out bad luck that Bonedog began producing this authentic, classic live instrument greatness just as record sales began to plummet at a precipitous rate yearly. If this fabulous label has managed to break even it would be heartening.
4. Charles Walker "Soul Stirring Thing" (Blues/SPV )
After the disappointing "Still Finding My Way" Walker returns with a stronger set of songs and in tip top shape vocally. He also moonlights singing for the Funk outfit The Dynamites but this album returns him to the Deep Soul n' Blues of the miraculous "Number By Heart". That album's producer Fred James is back on board and co-wrote most of the songs including a few with Walker. There's also a great Tom Waits cover ("San Diego Serenade")
5. The Holmes Brothers "Feed My Soul" (Alligator)
Pop singer Joan Osbourne of "One Of Us" may be a surprising producer for the Holmes Brothers' latest. In truth Osbourne's first love is Rhythm & Blues, even touring with the Funk Brothers and being in the documentary film about the legendary Motown sidemen, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown". She also produced the previous Holmes album "Speaking In Tongues" so well here she is for an encore. Brother Wendell Holmes wrote seven tracks while Sherman Holmes scribed three. Rustic, Gospel-infused Soul, Rhythm and Blues. The group would record one more album prior to Wendell's death in 2015.
6. Mavis Staples "You Are Not Alone" (Anti/Epitaph)
A benevolent trend continues with modern day producers and labels signing classic Soul & Blues singers to do a "cutting edge" album of gritty, rootsy Soul or Blues music or in Staples' case definitely Gospel-infused Soul. Wilco's Jeff Tweedy produced and created an understated, subdued backdrop for Staples' still emotive vocals.
7. Janiva Magness "The Devil is An Angel Too" (Alligator)
Magness dives head first into R&B/Soul and comes off natural and confident. The song choices range from familiar cover tunes ("I'm Gonna Tear My Playhouse Down", "Slipped, Tripped, Fell In Love", "End Of Your Road") to some unexpected turns (Nick Lowe's "Homewrecker" is a great pick). Vocally, Magness flexes her muscles and shows her versatility.
8. Coco Montoya "I Want It All Back" (Ruf)
Montoya was mentored by the great Albert Collins who actually tapped him as a drummer in the mid 70s before teaching Montoya Collins' distinctive guitar style. He is also played with John Mayall before stepping out as a solo artist 1995 when he won the W.C. Handy Award for "Best New Blues Artist". Vocally Montoya has a mellow, soulful timbre (somewhat reminiscent of Glenn Frey) so the hefty amount of Soul-Blues on this album is fitting. It's the smooth, breezing kind- more Beach than Stax- but he ain't afraid to Funk it up at times as evidence by "Don't Go Makin' Plans".
9. Daddy Mack Blues Band "Bluesfinger" (Inside Sounds)
Fairly standard roadhouse lump-de-lumps and shuffles with one great slow Soul song ("Can't Make It Without Your Love"). The title cut is a dynamite instrumental (mostly) featuring labelmate Billy Gibson
10. Miss Freddye "That Kinda Woman" (Bonedog)
Bonedog Records' second entry in this Top 10 is from Pittsburgh's Freddye Stover aka Miss Freddye though I would have guessed New Orleans or Chicago if I didn't know better. That's the sound n' style of much of this rollicking set. Tellingly there's even a Willie Dixon cover ("Instant Everything") but Ace songwriter Mike Sweeney again shoulders most of the songwriting chores and the songs are treated to the no holds backdrop the label is known for. Long live Bonedog.

Unrestricted grazing of cattle is the way in Ghana like many other developing countries. Cattle roam and graze freely destroying farms and farmlands. Their activities also pollute drinking water sources in many areas across the country. Resistance to this has resulted in conflicts between nomads and other farmers who are the victims.
The Problem with the Normadic Cattle Herding

Pasture lands are gradually becoming narrow due to the expanding population and developments. The herdsmen resort to the farmlands and their water sources for the survival of their cattle herd. We also believe, in some situations, that these nomadic Fulani Herdsmen are conservative, reluctant to change their nomadic way of life.
Cattle rearing, like many agricultural ventures, is a business and must be handled as such. It requires good investment and management to give good returns.
Read more: What is the Agricultural Solution for Nomadic Fulani Herdsmen and Crop Farmers in Ghana?
The solution
The creation of a rotational or paddock grazing system is one of the solutions that will help cattle rearers to keep a healthy stock fed and watered without destroying crops of other farmers.
What is Rotational or Paddock Grazing?
Rotational or paddock grazing generally means dividing the pasture into sub-pastures called paddocks. The cattle are moved between pastures as and when needed. This allows a cattle producer to better manage forage in a pasture for a long term. However, it requires more labour.
Designing a Paddock Grazing System
The basic components of a grazing system include; Landscape, Forage, Livestock, Water and Fence.
Basic paddock system designs;
Guidelines for a good Paddock Grazing System design
1. Keep cattle within 800 feet of water
This will;
- increase water consumption
- improve grazing distribution
- distribute manure more uniformly.
2. Make paddocks as "near to square" as possible.
When paddocks are near to square as possible
- the length of fence reduces.
- the cattle are closer to water.
- grazing distribution is more uniform.
3. Make primary subdivisions along contour lines, following the lines of the landscape for boundaries.4. Size the paddocks with similar grazing capacity and not acres.
This will make sure
- consistency in pasture availability
- ease and efficient paddock rotation management
- uniform intervals of rests for grazed pastures for adequate regrowth.
5. Create lanes for cattle movement
Avoid moving cattle from one paddock to another through a third paddock. The lane will help to avoid using third paddocks as passages to another.
Use the lanes for cattle movement only.

22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The pace of change in the derivatives industry is forcing firms to re-evaluate their technology strategies, with half of the firms responding to a TABB Group survey planning to implement a new trading platform in the next three years. TABBs research based on this survey, Derivatives Trading Technology: Structural Complexity Driving Next Generation Demands , examines the factors that drive investment decisions in derivatives trading platforms as regulation and structural complexity drive market participants technology investment choices. Concerns around regulations, lack of technology resources and the need to have superior client service were the top themes permeating TABBs survey responses, with more than half of all participants citing regulatory and compliance complexity as their biggest challenge. TABB partner and global head of research and consulting Andy Nybo , who co-authored the report, explains that making sense of the rapidly evolving market structure and mosaic of new products has become a daily challenge as the tools at hand are quickly becoming obsolete. http://realcaleblopez.haralsoncounty.org/2016/09/03/some-information-on-fundamental-details-of-selection-process/Best in class requirements now span multiple asset classes, geographies and regulatory mandates, making the need to replace antiquated systems a strategic necessity. However, once a firm rationalizes the need to replace a trading platform, TABB explains it is not an easy decision and there are inevitable delays throughout the vendor selection process. Further, budget constraints often dictate timelines and force firms to delay upgrade cycles and replacement strategies. Given these obstacles, many firms are opting to retire their legacy systems and replace with flexible independent software vendor (ISV) offerings that provide enhanced functionality at a lower cost. The challenges facing the derivatives industry are forcing almost every market participant to be nimble and make adaptions for survival, said report co-author and TABB senior analyst Tom Lehrkinder . Multi-product, multi-broker, co-location and cross-asset are todays buzz words while speed, straight-through processing and distributed computing dominates connectivity and post-trade activities.

High Tails
1. Each dog has to be safe in a group of dogs, not aggressive or overly fearful. This is why we offer free trials.
2. Puppies and dogs should have their core vaccinations. Since vets differ on non-core vaccinations and frequency of boosters, we suggest discussing this with your vet and agreeing on a regimen. The state requires rabies shots, but other than that, we will accept your vet's vaccines and schedules.
Monday to Friday - 7:00 am to 7:00 pm
Saturday - 9:00 am to 6:00 pm
Sunday - Noon to 4:00 pm - NO DAYCARE
Your dog gets some serious exercise - which is the very best stress reliever!
He'll be able to:
You will have access to advice and help from experts. Get the jump on any incipient problems. We can help with issues from teething and house-training to getting along with cats and other dogs. We know the resources in our community for dealing with problems if we can't.
A tired, happy dog at the end of the day, when you are tired yourself, is mellow and receptive to interactions that cement your bond - training, brushing, walking, playing or just hanging out companionably together.
Your puppy will have enough opportunities to potty appropriately and will have his manners training reinforced by our knowledgeable staff.
Is your dog or puppy newly adopted? Bringing him to daycare provides an opportunity each time for him to experience a separation from you that leads to good experiences instead of abandonment and a joyful reunion at the end of the day.
Every day is new and exciting, yet familiar and safe. Many dogs are regulars who have come every week for years. They are like aunts and uncles to the newbies, showing them the ropes and making them feel at home.
There are dogs and puppies of all ages, sizes, personalities and play styles - so new pooches learn how to get along with all kinds, but none are aggressive or dangerous.
We supervise the group carefully to make sure everyone feels safe and has a good time.
The first hour or two in the morning is the ultra-high-energy time; lots of enthusiastic and sometimes boisterous greeting of old friends and investigating newcomers (this is why we recommend that new dogs - especially puppies and less confident dogs - come after 10:00 a.m. the first few times).
We have 4 separate play areas, 3 inside and one outside.
We sort the dogs into groups by the compatibility factors of the day (age, energy level, play style, or size), and re-group several times during the day, watching for affinities and aversions.
We keep young puppies from getting over-tired and keep the arousal level of adolescent pups from getting them into trouble.
If somebody needs a little break, nap, or snack...we make it happen.
Dogs are coming in and going home all day, so the group changes over the course of the day. Part of the day, they play with each other under our watchful eyes and ears.
At other periods, we play with them, learning their favorite games, or just hanging out, brushing, petting and being companionable.
We've got tools, including aromatherapy and music to soothe the group when they need it.
We always provide healthy treats, but if your dog has special needs you are welcome to bring his own.
Don't bring his toys or bed, though. We provide super-tough dog toys because his might get wrecked or it might become a "bone of contention".
When dogs arrive we remove all gear and use our own adjustable martingale collars, when necessary. This is for their safety. We keep their leashes, etc., safe until they go home.
If a dog needs a sweater for going outside in cold weather, we'll be glad to get him dressed. In cold weather only the dogs who prefer being outside will spend much time outdoors.
In hot weather, we set up wading pools and sometimes play games with the hose.
Observing your dog in a group is a fun way to learn things about him you wouldn't otherwise know. Now you can shop for leashes, collars, toys and much more for dogs and cats in our upstairs retail space, where you can watch the playroom activities from the look-out.
You are always welcome to go up to our gallery and watch from above!
The typical daycare dog is young (3 months to 4 years), medium to large size and high energy. Many love it so much they come several times a week all their lives! Others outgrow it, preferring to stay home and just visit occasionally.
Some dogs are perpetual puppies and never tire of romping and wrestling. It's a matter of individual personality. We'll always tell you if your dog seems to be getting bored or unhappy in daycare.
Our objective is for them to have a wonderful time every visit, so they are always happy to come if you need a safe place to leave them for a day, now and then. We are always happy to talk with you about your dog and help any way we can. We think of ourselves as part of your dog's extended family.

Inspired in Spain, This Couple Makes Serious Cider in Their Chelsea Apartment
Returning to New York after making wine in Spain, they turned to the state's most famous fruit.
Our map features the cideries that joined us at our first ever Good Cider event a couple of months back.
Did you know that planting a Golden Delicious seed in your backyard will get you an entirely different apple? These are the little knowledge gaps that HDIG is trying to fill.
Food52 shows us how to make our farmers market apples sinfully good right in time for Halloween.
Andy Brennan moved upstate in search of an orchard he'd loved and lost. Now he's resurrecting America's oldest drink.
In our upcoming drinks issue, we take a look at Aaron Burr Cidery in the Hudson Valley and learn about all it takes to forage and ferment the fruit locally. To share more about the trade, here's a roundup of cider love from our archives.
Happy Food Day! Hopefully you joined hundreds of other New Yorkers for this year's Big Apple Crunch. Either way, check out our three favorite photos from our Instagram contest!
Hard cider has been steadily gaining in popularity in recent years, and with Cider Week in full swing it's hard to miss fall's most apropos beverage.
If you follow us on Instagram, then you may have noticed that we 're jazzed for apple season. We recently joined forces with GrowNYC in support of Big Apple Crunch 2013 to gather your best apple photos.
Eden's Ice Cider captures the essence of apples.
There's so much we didn't get to tell you during this week's NY1 segment on Clinton Street Baking Co.'s February Pancake Month. We were so busy telling you the genesis of chef Neil Kleinberg's superior whipped egg white pancake recipe, that we didn't get to talk about the toppings, which change every few days until the 29th, or their cookbook, which was named one of the best of the year by the Times last year and was shot by none other than our former photo editor, the talented Michael Harlan Turkell. This recipe below, for Caramelized Apples and Pears with Praline and Cinnamon from the Clinton Street Baking Co. Cookbook, can help illustrate both.
Deprivation. That is what eating seasonally means. It means that in high summer you do not eat an apple. You walk right on by that crackling green Granny Smith that lurks year round in the grocery store bins. Because it didn't come from around here. It means that in January you do not buy those stackable plastic boxes of raspberries (sometimes I cheat; I do), and it means that tomatoes are not the pink slices in silly salads or the vine-grown California ones in February, but the ripe, fat, sweet and bursting Brandywines of August.

Legit Online Jobs Review — How Legit?
Is Legit Online Jobs even legit at all?
When I started looking into making money on the internet 3 years ago, one of my first purchases was a scam. It was a product called Data Entry Pro which is now discontinued was nothing more than a scam.
I got scammed only once after that, when I bought Mark Warren's Ultimate Wealth Package and vowed never to buy another one of these make money products again. I figured I'd learn how to make money the free way.
The 'free way' was tough. I skipped from method to method trying to learn different techniques but never really got anywhere.
I'll tell you a little about how I started earning money online in a while but first lets look at this product that's selling like hot cakes over at Clickbank. Its name is Legit Online Jobs. Legit, huh?
Now, one look at this website (and maybe its because I'm an experienced internet marketer) and I immediately got reminded of Data Entry Pro and Mark Warren's Ultimate Wealth Package.
The owner of Legit Online Jobs claims that if you're tired of being scammed then his site will show you how to make money online because its 'legit'.
Now I got a peek inside the members area and I wasn't surprised that this was one big scam of a product. There's no jobs, just some very outdated information on how to do affiliate marketing using Clickbank.
Now let me tell you, affiliate marketing is real. You can really earn a full time income using affiliate marketing. Clickbank is real too. I've used Clickbank to earn thousands of dollars every month so I can testify to that. But what is so wrong about Legit Online Jobs is that they give you all these outdated ways to do it, like posting classified ads — no one does that anymore. The filling out forms bit is about advertising on Google Adwords but if you were to do it the way they tell you to, you would lose a whole lot of money and not make any.

I'm not one to quote popes, but these words from Pope Francis deserve to be spotlighted as a positive indication of the man he may be and the tone he might set.
"If investments in the banks fail, 'Oh, it's a tragedy,' " he said, speaking extemporaneously for more than 40 minutes at a Pentecost vigil last weekend, after a private audience with the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, the architect of Europe's austerity policies. "But if people die of hunger or don't have food or health, nothing happens. This is our crisis today."
In a recent speech to diplomats accredited to the Holy See, Francis also spoke of the need for more ethics in finance.
"The financial crisis which we are experiencing makes us forget that its ultimate origin is to be found in a profound human crisis," he said, adding: "We have created new idols. The worship of the golden calf of old has found a new and heartless image in the cult of money and the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly humane goal."
Ethics in finance. The cult of money akin to worship of the golden calf. And "the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly humane goal." To indicate these weren't throwaway lines, Francis told Father Lombardi before the speech to diplomats, "Pay attention, this is important. I want people to understand it's important."
The thought that a Pope might emphasize the "the cult of money" rather than focusing his papal authority on abortion and birth control to the exclusion of the problems of poverty is encouraging. Let's hope he keeps it up and others who are supposed to be moral leaders follow suit.

Fleet carrier operations in the Pacific 1941 - 1945
The infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor plunged half the world into war. Re-enact the six, crucial carrier battles from that awesome conflict...
Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, Midway, Eastern Solomons, Santa Cruz and the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot!
Your task is to seek out and destroy enemy carriers, fleets and air forces... before they can do the same to you!
Carriers at War is, graphically and technically, a superb simulation of World War II air/naval operations. The intensity and uncertainty of carrier battles is brought vividly to life. Hundreds of ships and aircraft are individually modelled, while the natural and intuitive interface makes giving orders easy.
The Keating/Trout team have designed many great games in the past... this is their best!

- Upgrade to the Latest Revision of MongoDB
Upgrade to the Latest Revision of MongoDB¶
On this page
Revisions provide security patches, bug fixes, and new or changed features that do not contain any backward breaking changes. Always upgrade to the latest revision in your release series. The third number in the MongoDB version number indicates the revision.
Before Upgrading¶
Ensure you have an up-to-date backup of your data set. See MongoDB Backup Methods.
Consult the following documents for any special considerations or compatibility issues specific to your MongoDB release:
Compatibility Changes in MongoDB 3.2.
Starting in MongoDB 3.2.12, a collection is renamed on the sync source while an initial sync is running, the initial sync process fails and restarts to avoid possible data corruption. As such, when upgrading from 3.2.11 or earlier versions to 3.2.12 or later, initial syncs may start failing if they encounter
renameCollectionoperations. For more information, see Initial Sync and renameCollection section in the Compatibility Changes in MongoDB 3.2.
The documentation for your driver. See Drivers and Driver Compatibility pages for more information.
If your installation includes replica sets, plan the upgrade during a predefined maintenance window.
Before you upgrade a production environment, use the procedures in this document to upgrade a staging environment that reproduces your production environment, to ensure that your production configuration is compatible with all changes.
Upgrade Procedure¶
Always backup all of your data before upgrading MongoDB.
Upgrade each
mongod and
mongos binary
separately, using the procedure described here. When upgrading a binary,
use the procedure Upgrade a MongoDB Instance.
Follow this upgrade procedure:
- For deployments that use authentication, first upgrade all of your MongoDB drivers. To upgrade, see the documentation for your driver as well as the Driver Compatibility page.
- Upgrade sharded clusters, as described in Upgrade Sharded Clusters.
- Upgrade any standalone instances. See Upgrade a MongoDB Instance.
- Upgrade any replica sets that are not part of a sharded cluster, as described in Upgrade Replica Sets.
Upgrade a MongoDB Instance¶
To upgrade a
mongod or
mongos instance, use one
of the following approaches:
- Upgrade the instance using the operating system's package management tool and the official MongoDB packages. This is the preferred approach. See Install MongoDB.
- Upgrade the instance by replacing the existing binaries with new binaries. See Replace the Existing Binaries.
Replace the Existing Binaries¶
Always backup all of your data before upgrading MongoDB.
This section describes how to upgrade MongoDB by replacing the existing binaries. The preferred approach to an upgrade is to use the operating system's package management tool and the official MongoDB packages, as described in Install MongoDB.
To upgrade a
mongod or
mongos instance by
replacing the existing binaries:
- Download the binaries for the latest MongoDB revision from the MongoDB Download Page and store the binaries in a temporary location. The binaries download as compressed files that uncompress to the directory structure used by the MongoDB installation.
- Shutdown the instance.
- Replace the existing MongoDB binaries with the downloaded binaries.
- Restart the instance.
Upgrade Sharded Clusters¶
Changed in version 3.2: The procedure to make revision upgrades to version 3.2+ sharded clusters has changed. To make revision upgrades for earlier versions of MongoDB sharded clusters, refer to the appropriate version of the manual.
To upgrade a version 3.2 (or higher) sharded cluster:
Disable the cluster's balancer as described in Disable the Balancer.
Upgrade the config servers.
- CSRS Config Servers
If using a replica set for the config servers, upgrade following the procedures in Upgrade Replica Sets.
- SCCC Config Servers
If using the three mirrored
mongodinstances for the config severs (SCCC), upgrade the
mongodone at a time, starting last config server listed in your
mongos --configdbstring and working backward. For example, given the following config string:
You would upgrade the config servers in the following order:
- cfg2.example.net
- cfg1.example.net
- cfg0.example.net
For each config server upgrade, follow the instructions in Upgrade a MongoDB Instance.
To keep the cluster online, make sure at least one config server is always running.
Upgrade each shard.
- If a shard is a replica set, upgrade the shard using the procedure titled Upgrade Replica Sets.
- If a shard is a standalone instance, upgrade the shard using the procedure titled Upgrade a MongoDB Instance.
Upgrade each
mongosinstance by following the instructions in Upgrade a MongoDB Instance. You can upgrade the
mongosinstances in any order.
Re-enable the balancer, as described in Enable the Balancer.
Upgrade Replica Sets¶
To upgrade a replica set, upgrade each member individually, starting with the secondaries and finishing with the primary. Plan the upgrade during a predefined maintenance window.
Upgrade Secondaries¶
Upgrade each secondary separately as follows:
Upgrade the secondary's
mongodbinary by following the instructions in Upgrade a MongoDB Instance.
After upgrading a secondary, wait for the secondary to recover to the
SECONDARYstate before upgrading the next instance. To check the member's state, issue
rs.status()in the
The secondary may briefly go into
RECOVERING. This is normal. Make sure to wait for the secondary to fully recover to
SECONDARYbefore you continue the upgrade.
Upgrade the Primary¶
Step down the primary to initiate the normal failover procedure. Using one of the following:
- The
rs.stepDown()helper in the
- The
replSetStepDowndatabase command.
During failover, the set cannot accept writes. Typically this takes 10-20 seconds. Plan the upgrade during a predefined maintenance window.
Stepping down the primary is preferable to directly shutting down the primary. Stepping down expedites the failover procedure.
- The
Once the primary has stepped down, call the
rs.status()method from the
mongoshell until you see that another member has assumed the
Shut down the original primary and upgrade its instance by following the instructions in Upgrade a MongoDB Instance.

Love quizzes are those fun tests you see often in bridal or women's interest magazines that show whether or not you are in love, a love quiz to tell if he likes you, is it just a crush, or if your love will be sustainable. Taking a crush love quiz test is really popular. While there is no such thing as a love quiz that can truly solve your problems or accurately predict the state of your relationship as a whole, they are fun to take and can open up some interesting conversation. In addition to magazines, there are numerous love quizzes available on the Internet from sites specializing in fun love tests, romance advice and romantic gifts like us. We have several fun love quiz tests to see if it's real love or just a crush.
Although a love quiz is meant to be entertaining and used strictly for fun, they do have a useful purpose also. Sometimes the love quiz might have questions in them that can spark very interesting conversation. This can start a discussion about a number of things including where you see the relationship growing, how your partner feels about particular issues, how you and your partner relate to one another, family issues, goals and sexual fantasies. While you are likely not going to get earth shattering revelations from the results of taking a crush love quiz test, you might find out a thing or two about the one you're with that you did not already know.
Humans are complex creatures and can rarely be defined easily. When you take two humans and put them into a relationship, the complexities increase exponentially. So, love quiz tests really can not summarize your relationship simply by asking a series of a few questions. They can, however be fun and sometimes even humorous to see how well the reality compares to the results. Don't take love quizzes too seriously but have a bit of fun with them.
When you sit together and start asking questions from a love quiz, this can lead to some heart felt conversations and open up a line of communication that may not have been open. This is the real benefit of fun love quiz tests. So, while love quizzes are designed to be entertaining, they can actually serve a greater purpose so don't discount them off hand either. Simply be aware that published results are meant to be general so they can fit almost any scenario.
