How To Invest And Breathe Simultaneously
Well, you are saying you're ready to being investing, to your own. No stockbrokers, no economic advisers, just you and the open market. What a thrilling prospect. Wait, are you critically considering this proposition?
Please allow me to give some recommendation: Don't do it. I speak with some enjoy, having misplaced my truthful proportion in the "open market" as a do-it-yourself investor. The odds of achievement in this sort of investing are corresponding to the percentages of wining the lottery. It's a crap shoot. Unless you are inclined to take some time to research, check out, and then do a little investigation. Successful investing is not a privilege of the inventory broker and the financial analyst, on my own. It is an area open to voluntary participation from any stroll to existence. The trap here is that you need to be knowledgeable, or you will lose.
Take the time to understand all of the components of the making an investment area, earlier than you hazard dropping your pleasant little nest egg in ten mins or less. What you have got spent a life-time saving can be long past in as low as ten minutes. Now, that have to be a horrifying thought for any sane, rational, investor.
If you still intend to make investments alone, here are a few hints and recommendations to help make sure your fulfillment. If you are going to invest, as a minimum hire a few shape of funding professional to present you recommendation. It's not necessary to let them do the investing, however use not unusual sense, right here. They recognize things you do no longer, and feature now not had time to analyze.
Another piece of recommendation: if it sounds too appropriate to be proper, it's far. Hands down, dream investments do no longer exist. If you understand a person who acted on a pal's extremely good tip, you could bet that someone labored hard for that data, and it likely isn't going to supply the mega go back promised.
You need to be affected person while investing. Investing is like saving, it takes time to build up actual returns. Don't panic, take the time to step back and appearance objectively at your investment and the market signs. Panic will cost you money. Hand in hand with the patience, there should be some read training approximately the making an investment procedure for your element. If you're going to invest, make the effort to study the manner, discover ways to read a prospectus, how to calculate and distinguish a healthful business from one that is approximately to fold. Your know-how might be your price ticket to a hit investing with a show of real returns.
It may be finished, it is executed normal, by human beings similar to you and I. You simply need to understand the enormity of the dedication necessary to emerge as a a hit investor.

Making your own handmade Soap as a hobby is so rewarding. I now make cold processed soap on a regular basis, often using natural colours and essential oils as fragrance but also using mica and fragrance oils. Cold process soap making has taken some getting used to, I have some good soap making books with good recipes and we haven't bought soap from a supermarket in several years, hand made soap has benefits for the skin and I know exactly what has gone into it..........
So I have carefully weighed out all of my ingredients which were for this recipe, coconut oil RSPO palm oil, olive oil pomace, sodium hydroxide, water, essential oils and some mica powder. Many people tell me that they are scared to make cold process soap because of the sodium hydroxide also known as lye, I have to admit being worried about this and also the fumes that are expelled after mixing with water, it heats up, will burn if in contact with skin and the fumes can be very strong. I always mix my lye and water outside, make sure that I don't inhale fumes and never near children or pets. Always add the sodium hydroxide (Lye) to the water an never the other way round.
And so after mixing the lye it is left it somewhere safe to start cooling, at this stage it is really hot, I melt the oils in a large stainless steel pan.
Pouring the lye into the oils slowly and steadily will help prevent splashes and goggle must be worn to protect your eyes. When the lye is added I mix really well with a spatula before using the hand held whisk.
As you can see from the image above, as the oils and lye blend together the mixture starts to change colour, looks shiny and my mixture usually lightens in colour in the pot. Every few seconds when I know that the mixture is starting to thicken, and I compare soap batter to whipping cream, you can generally tell when it has reached trace and know to stop and check. Sometimes I whisk for too long and my soap gets thicker than I would like it to be but you know when you are at trace when you can see the soap settle on top of the soap, I test this by removing the blender and dribbling soap over the soap in the pan. The soap below is at quite a thick trace.
And so now I need to add the essential oils and any colour, I stir in colours and fragrance with a spatula, occasionally the soap batter will thin out again, some essential oils and fragrance oils can cause the soap to thicken and heat up.
Once the fragrance and colour is added and stirred well I pour the soap into the moulds and leave it to do its soapy saponification thing. Moulds used here available from www.themouldsshop.co.uk
I leave the soap in the moulds for around 24 hours, I tend not to insulate and gel my soaps. After de-moulding I slice my soap and leave to cure for four weeks before using.

The night air is beginning to chill as I am sitting in my Son room; the insects are making their music as the sky continues to darken. Everything continues tonight as it did last night and it will continue the same tomorrow night. And yet, for me, I'm saying, "Nothing will ever be the same." My mother-in-law passed away early last Sunday morning; a very dear friend of mine also passed away on Monday, so there were two funerals: one on Wednesday, and one on Friday. Friday also marked what would have been Autry's and my 55th anniversary. So, yes, the emotions were running high this week.
It's true, nothing will be the same and I don't expect it to be. Life goes on; life changes, but my God never changes; His Word and His promises never change and I am so very thankful for that. So, when God says, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (in heaven) II Cor. 5:8; when He says "I will never leave you or forsake you," Heb. 13:5; when He says, He is my strength, Phil. 4:13, my shield, Ps.33:20, my comforter, Isa. 61:2; I can rejoice and be thankful no matter what changes come my way; no matter what heartaches penetrate my life.
My God is a great God and in Him do I trust. I pray you are doing the same no matter what life is handing you today. God does not change.

Base Ball on Johnson's
By William F.B. Vodrey
The Cleveland Civil War Roundtable
Copyright © 2014, All Rights Reserved
On August 24, 2014, a century and a
half later almost to the day, vintage base ball players reenacted
the game on Johnson's Island. Members of the Great Black Swamp Frogs
played the the Confederate club, all in red shirts, while the Ohio
Village Muffins, in white, portrayed the Southern team. Members of
the Army of the Ohio, a Civil War reenactment group including
members from the 6th, 30th and 41st Ohio, served as prison guards
(and, for those who showed up in gray or butternut,
Historian Dr.
David Bush
addresses the crowd before the game
Base ball historian John Husman
spoke to the crowd before the game, noting that the 1864 game is
thought to be the first organized base ball game ever played in
Ohio. Many of the prisoners were members of antebellum base ball
clubs in New Orleans. Base ball lingo was different in 1864; players
were "ballists," a batter was a "striker," an error was a "muff"
(hence the Ohio Village team's name), a run was an "ace," and you
encouraged a striker to run fast by shouting, "Leg it!" And of
course, we all shouted "Huzzah!" and not "Hooray!"
The rules were different back then,
too. The umpire stood to one side and back just a bit from home
plate ("home base"), not right behind the catcher. He would call
foul balls immediately, but not fair ones (hits were presumed fair
unless he said otherwise). He also called strikes only after warning
a striker who repeatedly let good pitches go by, but would not call
balls. A striker would be out after three called or swinging
strikes. Ballists in the field could catch a ball in the air or ‐
big difference! ‐ after a single bounce to put the striker out. All
pitches were underhand. Ballists wore no gloves. (I had the chance
to hold one of the balls, which was a little larger and a little
squishier than a modern baseball; the wife of one of the ballists
told me that the balls are hand-stitched and cost $40 apiece )
The 2014 game proceeded with high
energy and with everyone in good spirits, as the guards in blue kept
a watchful eye around the edge of the ball field ("playground"). The
Confederates batted their way into an early lead over the
Southerners and never yielded it. As happened back in the 1860s,
players loudly made bets with each other as to this or that ballist
getting on base or scoring an ace. Not all of the action was on the
playground, either. Ballists occasionally tried to escape, but only
one -an outfielder from the Southern team - got away from his guards
for long. He was captured out in the scrub brush beyond left field
after just a few minutes, and was marched back by three guards. The
guards also intercepted a young woman in hoop skirts who was
apparently trying to kiss her prisoner beaux.
There was no scoreboard, but the
score was announced from time to time ‐ once, a member of the
Southern team declared mournfully, "The Confederates have scored too
many runs to count, and the Southerners, too few to admit." The
final score was Confederates 23, Southerners 9, so history did not
quite repeat itself. Fortunately, I had no money riding on the
About 3,000 people are reported to
have watched the 1864 game. It was a smaller but still appreciative
crowd of 200-some fans ‐ including, I was glad to see, CWRT members
Jean Rhodes and Kirk Hinman ‐ who enjoyed the 2014 game under clear
skies and brisk Lake Erie breezes.
The event was sponsored by the
Friends and Descendants of Johnson's Island, on the board of which
Kirk and I have the honor to serve. For more information:

Research & development
Commited to developing cancer therapeutics designed to inhibit cancer stern cell pathways.
Cancer is the number one cause of death in the developed world, expected to increase in the next decades. For advanced cancer, survival rates have remained steady for the last 30 years.
There is a need for novel approaches to cancer therapy that can make a quantum leap in patient care. While recent approaches to immunotherapy have made significant advances, many patients still experience relapse and metastasis. Metastasis and relapses are the primary cause of deaths due to cancer. Resilient cancer stem cells are more resistant to conventional cancer therapy (Chemotherapy and radiotherapy) so they persist after treatment and can seed new tumors. At StemTek we believe that the cancer stem cell compartment of the tumor must be targeted to get a durable response in cancer treatment.
Drug screening against cancer stem cells based on 3D cell culture systems allow for stronger, more efficient and reliable drug screening than conventional 2D based monolayer culture systems currently used by pharmaceutical industry. StemTek works on research that allows biotech and pharmaceutical companies to profile their pipeline of compounds to measure their effect on cancer stem cell populations.

Screen Printed T-Shirts: 4 Helpful Design Tips For DIYers
Custom screen printed t-shirts are ideal for many occasions. Birthday parties, corporate events, charity events, and even businesses can all benefit from custom printed t-shirts. If you are interested in creating a t-shirt for yourself or your business, use these four design tips to ensure your end result is exactly what you want:
1. Know Your Market
When considering design, keep your target market in mind. The artwork and style of shirt should match the demographic you are after. For example, if you are targeting women you should for shirts with girlie colors or neutral tones. For women, you might also want to consider making the shirt more fitted or perhaps with a v-neck. Whatever demographic you are targeting, make sure the t-shirt fits that theme.
2. Have a Color Scheme
Although this tip might seem like a no-brainer, it is pretty easy to dismiss. However, having a color scheme is important. After all, you want all the designs on your shirt to mesh together. For example, you don't want your design to blend into the shirt. So you want to choose colors that compliment each other. As a rule of thumb, always opt for neutral colored t-shirts if you aren't sure about what colors you want to use.
3. Use Actual Size Artwork
Unless you have a long-term relationship with your screen printer, you should make sure that the artwork is the actual size you want it to be. What might looks good to the printer, might not look good to you. Without advance warning, you may wind up with a design that is too small or too large. So always send your artwork off at the size you desire. To be extra safe, consider leaving a note that the artwork you are sending off is at its final size.
4. Save Money
If you are on a budget, don't worry. You can save money on your t-shirts in various ways. You could opt for white t-shirts to save money. They're generally cheaper because they are not dyed and they are easy to print on. You could also order your shirts in bulk. You could also limit your design colors to just one, two, or even three.
Using these tips, along with a professional screen printer, you can easily have the t-shirts you desire. If you don't feel like designing the shirt yourself, you can always hire a professional (such as one from Absolute Screen Printing) to do it for you.

Guiding Star
Preached January 4, 2015
Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12, Isaiah 60
The North Star, called "Polaris" by astronomers is our most literal guiding star, and it is special because it is the only star in the night sky that hardly appears to move. It appears fixed because it is located directly above the rotation axis of the Earth – Wesleyan Astronomy Professor Meredith Hugh's says, if we were relaxing with Santa Claus after Christmas at the North Pole, it would be directly overhead. Anywhere in Earth's Northern Hemisphere, if you can find the North Star, it points you in the direction of north.
But Polaris, Professor Hugh's tells me, — the star at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper — won't always be the North Star, and hasn't always been the North Star. The rotation axis of the earth wobbles due to a phenomenon called "precession," and it moves in a predictable circle in the sky over the course of about 26,000 years. We're just lucky to have a bright star over the North Pole right now (the southern hemisphere is not as lucky!).
Back when Jesus was born, there was no bright star near the North Pole, so people then would have had to use different stars to guide them.
Medieval writers thought it must have been an angel that the three wise men saw, perhaps the angel that appeared to the shepherds, and that is what led them to Jesus.
Stars appear brightest when it is dark out, that is to say metaphorically, when we can't see where we are going, we pay closest attention to things that might point us in the right direction.
Mary Lou Brady commented that when she was in the darkest valley of her life, when her child had tremendous health complications, and that her prayer life changed. Instead of asking God to manipulate their surroundings and change outcomes, she prayed for her own strength, to put one foot in front of the other, for courage.
Mary Lou and the deacons decided to ask these central question during the time leading up to Christmas: What is your light in the dark, your guiding star, how do you get to the nativity scene through the dark, which character do you relate to the most in the nativity scene.
We had four different families give really wise, funny, powerful, beautiful testimonies. We learned about walrus and rhinos and astronauts and army characters in the crèche. We invited the rest of the congregation to write on these stars, the answer to one of these questions. What is your light in the dark, your guiding star, how do you get to the nativity scene through the dark, which character do you relate to the most in the nativity scene. We weren't sure what we would get. We wanted a way to connect our own stories to the Christmas story. Here are some responses:
Five of us related to Mary, as someone who cared deeply for other people, as a motherly figure, having never ending love for her first born. One related to the women who helped Mary give birth. Two of us related to Mary and Joseph, the family unit, and four of us related to Joseph, as a quiet caregiver, the outsider, the bystander, as someone to be asked to have faith beyond reason. Three of us related to baby Jesus, some reasons being because babies bring new life to families, and feeling grateful to have God come in the form of a baby, so that we can want to love and care for God unconditionally.
Nine of us related to the shepherds, because they were among the animals under the stars, close to the earth, always working, they showed joy and excitement over the birth of Jesus, and because they followed the star in awe of the birth of Jesus, who witnessed a vision and deliver the message.
Ten of us related to animals! If you want to hear more about this, this is a plug for Second Hour.
Other answers fell more under the category of, "what is your light in the dark," among them; the celebration of the cycles of life and seasons, humble beginnings, peace, caring and worth in cold and dark, family, love, community, seeing happy proud faces of the children carrying the figures to the crèche, and that witnessing the birth of Christ each year reminds us that we ourselves can be renewed.
We loved these answers. We realized this sort of task had the potential to come off as hokey and childish- but sometimes it is good to activate that part of ourselves. We really wanted to get at the heart of relating our own stories with the Christmas story, and to be honest with ourselves when we couldn't relate.
And now we ask the question: where do we go from here? We have just entered the new year- a very sacred time of the year, where we after Christmas and New Year, naturally have new intention, if we follow the Christ narrative, because we have just witnessed hope and light born into the world anew, and finally the days a gradually growing longer!
The question then becomes, how do we carry the light of Christ with us into the new year? I want to propose a technique, not necessarily for planning and plotting the future, for often we "make plans and God laughs." But rather, a technique for approaching the future, for getting beyond our own gridlocks and for truly evolving as human beings and as a community. Diane Butler Bass claims that every 500 years or so, historically there is great religious shift or reformation, and we, friends, are in that time now. The path isn't mapped for us, the charts aren't there predicting exactly how it will look.
The technique is called dead reckoning, and I borrow it from Edwin Friedman, who says this technique is essentially how Europe got out of the dark ages, and how Columbus charted a path to America. Now every one of us knows how problematic it is to lift up Christopher Columbus, because of the atrocities against the indigenous communities, but Columbus was able to in a sense, discover the New World where all the other explorers of the era had necessarily failed to do so. He was a terrible map reader.
"'Dead Reckoning," [is] the capacity to chart a course through one's own constant micro-measurements rather than relying on the use of someone else's map – [in essence, it's] a kind of biofeedback with one's [own] environment."1
Rev. Michael Ellick writes, "Edwin Friedman defined his skill of 'dead reckoning' in emotional terms: as a strange mix of dreaming and determination, and a bold new relationship between risk and reality. But more importantly, he uses this to illustrate the kind of faith and daring that is always required by any of us if we are to ever break free from our own emotional ruts in order to discover new territory."
Celestial Navigation, similarly, is the art and science of finding one's geographic position by astronomical observations, particularly by measuring altitudes of celestial objects: sun, moon, planets, or stars.
So where do we go from here? I think this church is great at taking risks, and not being attached to successful outcomes, and this will be key for our not just survival, but thriving, and being real and authentic with ourselves and one another as we seek to evolve into this next era of our collective lives.
This is not map making. It is cultivating an attitude toward the future, one that I think we have already, and that I will encourage us to grow into. An attitude of curiosity and risk, of not worrying about surviving, because that will fling us into the safety of continuity, rather than evolution.
Yesterday, someone who is self proclaimed anti-religious person asked me, thinking this would be a trump, "well how do you feel about the decline of protestant traditions?" And I said, probably trying to shock her, but also honest. "I think it is great. We are supposed to evolve, and what is meant to die, will die, and what is actually bringing healing and love into a world of oppression and pain, will continue. We can reach deep back into our past, and chart new paths into our future." She was actually satisfied with that answer. People who are anti-religion don't scare me, even though my livelihood depends on it.
With the birth of Christ, we enter into a new cycle. Stars have life cycles, just like people, although stellar life cycles are much longer than human lifespans. We see stars being born out of cocoons of gas and dust, living out their adult lives like the Sun, and dying in varied ways — violently, beautifully, or quietly — just like humans. Even things that appear to be fixed points are impermanent. So what will be our guiding star? Or rather, how will we follow it? Let us chart new paths together. Amen.

Welcome to the Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley!
Here's a message from President Andrew:
Greetings Rotarians and Guests,
As some of you already know, on the week of the 23rd, I got married! It was wonderful to be surrounded by our loved ones on a beautiful day by a pond. The celebration of the beginning of our marriage took place shortly before I turned 30 last week. It has been a celebratory time and I look forward to many celebrations to come.
It is important to celebrate both big and small milestones. For instance, our fundraiser on August 11th is not just an event to raise money to do great work. It's also a celebration of the Youth Service we've done and the village it takes to do more. So if you're available and you haven't bought a ticket yet, hop over to this link and grab a bite and drink with me and our fellow Rotarians as we celebrate another exciting year of Youth Service.
Andrew Taw, President
Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley

I hope to see some of our members at our A Taste of Good fundraiser taking place this weekend! Here are some wine-y jokes to get you in the mood.
I've trained my dog to bring me a glass of wine.
It's a Bordeaux Collie.
He said his non-alcoholic wine was delicious.
I said he had no proof.
The past, present, and future were in a wine bar.
It was tense.
Weekly Inspiration
Every week we start our meetings with a short video highlighting innovation, inspiration, entrepreneurship, or social change.
Plastic cutlery has been around for years, widely considered the only choice for cheap, disposable cutlery. Knowing the threat plastic poses to our environment and health, Narayana Peesapathy created a tasty and nutritious alternative: edible cutlery. Made with flours of jowar (sorghum) blended with rice and wheat, the spoons contain no chemicals, preservatives, fat, emulsifiers, artificial colors, or milk products. They're 100 percent natural, biodegradable, and come in a variety of sweet and savory flavors.

Coffee With a Rotarian
A natural part of Rotary is the networking and the fellowship you get out of meeting other Rotarians. Coffee With a Rotarian is a monthly program of our club where we match participating club members for one-on-one virtual (or in some cases in person) coffee meetings, so they can learn more about each other. This program is organized by member Tzviatko Chiderov.
This week we have Tanya from Atlanta, GA, USA reporting on her chat with Brian from Corralitos, CA, USA.
I chatted with Brian from California's Santa Cruz area this month. He told me that he is a civil trial attorney who specializes in business and real estate law. He's a family man who has relatives in Atlanta, which is where I live. Brian is also a pilot who flies small planes and a railroad/train enthusiast. I can relate because when I was a little girl, I had a TYCO train-race car combo set from Sears that I absolutely loved, and a few years ago, I rode in an Amtrak sleeping compartment from Atlanta to NYC. Brian shares a love of railroads/trains so much that he even speaks to groups about old train systems of the West Coast.
We encourage all club members to participate in Coffee With a Rotarian. You can sign up here!

Last weekend while I was in Toronto the Belize Cancer Society San Ignacio Branch which I am a member of had the 5th Gala which is used to raised funds for our cancer patients. Despite being away I was able to assist in selling of tickets and preparation of the fundraiser. It was a successful one and we were able to raise around $10,000 and counting since organizations and business would call in days after to pledge towards our fundraiser in assisting the patients.

Happy Dollars: Do Good by Sharing Something Good
Each week we ask our members to share stories with the club and toss in a few dollars to support our efforts. The primary goal of this section is to provide a fun way of getting to know each fellow members and guests, while giving back to a good cause.
Happy dollars is an opportunity to share something positive that has happened in your life whether it is personal or business. Think of it as your opportunity to brag a little, but also put a little bit into a karma jar. The money donated through happy dollars is put to charitable use, and the message that you leave for happy dollars will be posted in our online meeting the following week for the entire week for folks to see! (Pending that it's appropriate!)
Here are the happy dollars contributions from last week!
This section is updated on the early hours of Saturday, so contributions made over the weekend may not be listed here.
Member Rory Olsen made a $20 donation. Here is what he had to say:
Life is good. Please apply my gift to Polio Plus!
Share your happy dollars thoughts with us and help with doing good around the world.

Dr. Carlos Gabuardi, Ph.D. said:
I was highly moved by the brothers triathlon video. No dout, children have the spark of life, I think it is for every one of us to keep that spark alive while the rest of our selves appears to move away from childhood. Congratulations on the Pacific Bridge Club initiative, traveling opens your eyes and your life to always better possibilities and make us better human beaings. Quite an inspiring session!!!

Program: Conducting Research Using the CRISPR/Cas9 System
Every week we bring to you a new program on innovation, entrepreneurship, and education, and how those contribute to service to others.
Club member Ferheen Abbasi will be presenting the exciting gene editing technology CRISPR/Cas9 that was discovered in the Doudna Lab at UC Berkeley and has been revolutionizing research around the world. Her lab has been developing this technology since they began to use it in 2013. The Department of Experimental Genome Research at Osaka University focuses on reproductive research, trying to understand the basis of fertility. With the CRISPR/Cas9 system, the Ikawa Lab has genetically modified over 50 mouse lines and has published many papers using the knockout technology.

The entry of your email address, password and verification value are the key parts of the AlertMail signup process.
You should enter your primary email address, one which supports full size messages. Do not use a cell phone or pager address here, as these types of accounts are size limited. You can add a secondary address for a cell phone later. Your email address is used to gain entry to the AlertMail web interface to manage your account. You have the option of receiving Alerts Only or Warnings and Alerts. The Alerts Only setting means you will only receive high priority alerts. If you want to receive Warning messages in addition to Alerts, choose Warnings and Alerts. This setting will increase the number of messages you receive from the AlertMail system as there are more warnings posted than alerts. You can change this setting at any time.
Choosing a good AlertMail password is important to safeguarding your account. It should contain letters and numbers and should not be easy to guess. Do not share your password with anyone. If you suspect any tampering with your account, change your password immediately and contact us.
The Verification Code is a special value that is sent with each AlertMail message. Whenever you receive an alert from AlertMail, this unique code of your choosing should be at the top. This ensures that a message is actually coming from the AlertMail system and is not a forgery.

A friend who is currently a well established musician lives in an apartment that resembles a full fledged orchestra setting. At the entrance, there are two sets of tabla placed on either sides of the door. Moving ahead there are the drum set and the equalizer and woofer, and the bedroom is a music studio. With full fledged music control systems and the heavy sound proof door, this is where he practices the greater part of the day.
Music is such an integral part of his life that there is practically nothing much he does or thinks of during the day except music. Consequently, the setting of the apartment, which is one of the apartments for rent in Baton Rouge, is such that it complements his mood and mindset. He has instruments ranging from the Asian sitar and tabla sets to the electric guitar and cello. With proper soundproofing around the apartment, he comfortably plays loud music, and the neighbors do not even come to know.
One of the most challenging tasks for this individual is handling the neighbors. Living in an apartment building with a passion for music is quite an issue, considering the walls and the floor of the home cannot block that much music. Consequently, he has invested in an integrated soundproofing system that helps block out the sounds from the system and avoids disturbing the neighbors. Though it comes with a cost, with the barriers placed in all the walls of the apartment, it is totally worth it.
Besides tampering the walls and floor and ceiling of the apartment, even the doors and windows require proper protection. The outer frame of the windows should have a good rubber / silicone work, and it must stay locked the whole day. This helps block out unwanted street sounds and helps keep the sounds inside the home. It is a well known fact that one layer of soundproofing can reduce sound transmission by as much as 30 decibels. A vacuum between the walls of the apartment and an artificial wall will block out about 90% of sounds creating a calmer environment for you to enjoy and relax.
Even when all these measures are well placed around the apartment, it cannot be confirmed that all sound will be blocked 100%. After placing these measures, it would be a good idea to talk to the neighbors about the presence of the music system and the resulting sound levels. They could be comfortable accepting the sound if they knew there will be sound coming into heir homes. All in place, an apartment cannot get livelier than a music system playing loud beautiful music all day. Taking into consideration the odd timings and taking care of all disturbances causing hours, one could easily listen to loud music after proper soundproofing.

7:01pm Let's try for some football commentary. FOOTBALL! Touchdown, Packers. Is this game already over? The Steelers look dominated by this Packers defense thus far.
7:05pm Cowboys & Aliens trailer. I'd be more excited if Harrison Ford hadn't been phoning in his performances in every movie's he's done in the last decade.
7:07pm Lots of, erm, "excited" and "perfectly classy" phrases being thrown around after Big Ben throws an interception. Not many Roethlisberger fans here in the Roes' living room.
7:15pm Big Ben Rapelisberger looks to be hurt after that last play; slow to get up and walking gingerly on his leg. Portent of doom for Pittsburgh if he's not his normal self, especially the way Green Bay's defense is playing.
7:16pm Second only to chimps are commercials featuring humans going, forgive the term, "apeshit." Bridgestone's first commercial, featuring an office worker mistakenly believing he replied all to an email, contains enough insanity and incoherent shouting to garner a thumbs up from me.
7:17pm Who is the audience for these GoDaddy.com commercials? Joan Rivers in a tank top is not what you should be spending $2M bucks on, guys. Invest that money in improving your dogcrap dashboard your web hosting customers use (which may or may not include yours truly).
7:20pm My notebook entry for this time reads, "Pack D looks good." This is the kind of brilliant football insight you can get only on The Wayward Cynic.
7:26pm Creepy John Travolta is lurking in the shadows of someone's luxury box, flanked by his albino hitman, Serge.
7:33pm The first truly great commercial of the evening features neither chimps nor whacked-out humans: Volkswagen's Darth Vader kid is a slick, well put-together piece of advertising that was well worth the money spent in terms of the reputational impact the spot will have. Kudos.
7:35pm Joe Buck "welcomes (us)" to the broadcast booth to watch he and Troy Aikman share some good-natured chat about how much Troy sucks at football and is lucky the Bills let him win two Super Bowls at their expense because they felt so badly for him.
7:37pm Roethlisberger is clearly hurting in the huddle, favoring his right knee. I approve.
7:38pm And of course that's followed by a huge Steeler first down that keeps Pittsburgh alive in this game. Can someone explain to me why receiver Antwaan Randle El is celebrating that first down like he just won the combined Super Bowl, World Series, Daytona 500, Stanley Cup titles and a lifetime supply of Ukrainian prostitutes? (I dunno where I came up with that last part — I think I saw a spot on ESPN about New Jersey Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov the other day and immediately think of his harem of Russian prostitutes every time I see him. And yes, I know the Ukraine is not in Russia. Sue me, Baron von Geography McFartypants.)
7:40pm AS;LDKFAS;FDLASPD8UFASD;FLAP8APEGF8AS EJGA8SEGJA;SE8GA;JSE8JA8EPA9A8SUPE98AUGPEA8UG0A9 8EGU0A8EUPA8GUAPEA8SEUPAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7:41pm The first full trailer for JJ Abrams' Super 8 looks great. No need to show anything else; sign me up. Aliens + trainz = great movie timez (two people will find that funny).
7:41pm Fox deems us worthy of showing a glimpse of some of Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones' art collection hanging throughout the stadium's common areas. Of all the paintings of red squares and ovals I've ever seen, these are clearly the most impressive. Well done, Jerry.
This is followed up, appropriately, by a shot of the large crowd that paid $200 a head to stand outside the stadium and watch the game on a "big screen" slightly larger than the TV we're watching in the living room here. Jerry Jones' gleeful, blinded-with-greed quote the other day concerning the speed with which these tickets were snapped up only adds to my disdain for the man.
7:42pm I don't remember what happened here, but judging by the entry in my notebook, we were all excited. ("SUCK IT BEN")
7:44pm UB's own James Stark is making us proud of the running back, contributing greatly on this Packer drive.
7:45pm Touchdown Pack. Unless Big Ben's knee suddenly heals, I think this game's over, folks.
7:57pm Pittsburgh is clearly reading my notes, as they respond to each of my declarations of the game's end with a touchdown. No fans of Roethlisberger in the room, but he's a hell of a gamer.
8:00pm HALFTIME
I'll be back with the second half of the diary tomorrow, folks, starting with perhaps the greatest affront to music in the history of human civilization: The Black Eyed Peas and their torturous renditions of "Let's Get This Party Started," "Where is the Love?" and "Please Stab Me in the Ears with a Fondue Stick."

This month, Blog for Family Dinner founders will reflect back on some lessons learned from our B4FD guest bloggers over the past year.
We live in a different world than the one we grew up in. Time seems less and responsibilities seem more. Parents can sometimes feel like cab drivers more often then not, and conversations sometimes occur frequently on the train or in the car as opposed to the dinner table. This simply is not the case for anyone but certainly is for some.
As I sat down at my computer in reflection, reading over blog posts from the past year, I kept going back to "My Little Kitchen Helpers," from Rebecca Horsmann. Rebecca hits the target that having kids in the kitchen can certainly slow you down. Rebecca writes:
My kids (aged 4 and almost 2) love to "help" me cook, and it definitely slows me down! However, I want to encourage them to learn. To be truly independent, everyone should learn at least basic food preparation skills. I have seen some adults so intimidated in the kitchen that they don't want to try, and must depend on someone else, on convenience foods or on restaurants. I want my kids to grow up feeling comfortable in the kitchen.
I try to let my kids help when I am not feeling rushed or stressed out. Then I can stay patient so that we all have fun while they slow me down, make a mess and learn their way around a kitchen.
The families in our Kitchen Kids Family Cooking Class experience this first hand. The best part of the day is when they put their casserole in the oven and I send the families out to go sit around the tables and talk about what happened in the kitchen. What did they learn? How did everyone help? What ingredients went inside the dish? Their time just became more valuable in that moment.
This is not an everyday option. We may not have the time to allow our children in the kitchen to help, but it is definitely an investment for returns later. When we teach our children the value of food and necessity of it for our health, we deposit a "virtual coin" into the piggy bank. One day we hope they break that bank open and cash in those "virtual coins" with their children. Remember the next stir that ends up half out of the bowl, or the uneven lasagna layer, it is all worth it in the end.
"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that is why it is called the present"

Discovering that today is a National Day to celebrate our furry friends caused me to drag myself out of my blogging slump.
I've been a dog owner since February 2016, which was a surprising development for someone who had previously considered themselves to be more of a cat person.
I've since discovered that dog's are packages of absolutely disgusting behaviours, wrapped up in deceptively and irresistibly cute wrapping paper.
My dog is a long-haired mini dachshund, and in the 13-months that I've owned her, I've learned the following:
- Dogs can and will eat anything they find. They're like sharks in that they'd prefer to give something an exploratory nibble rather than risk missing out on something edible.
- There's no easy way to clean poo out of the long hair surrounding a puppy butt, therefore you will be giving someone a bath at 3am after a pre-dawn poop goes all sorts of wrong.
- Some dogs are cuddle monsters, some are not. Thankfully, my furry jellybean is an absolute glutton for love and ends every day curled up on my lap, snoring and farting away happily in her sleep.
- Mini dachshunds are diggers: there's no way of escaping it or suppressing it, it's in their DNA, therefore your garden will start to resemble an explosives testing zone.
- Mini dachshunds are, like all dachshunds, hunters and prone to chasing after anything that moves. The lizards in my garden now tell their children stories of the rampaging furry monster that took Daddy away.
- Some dogs eat poo, either their own or the chocolate pudding gifts of others. Thankfully my puppy is an aficionado of other animal's poop and not her own, which makes it easier to control as we don't have many random animals wandering through our property.
- Dogs go absolutely crazy for stick and ball games. Getting them to chase is it easy, but convincing them to drop it/give it up is the hard part. I always keep a 2nd item handy with which to bribe my dog into dropping her prize.
- Dogs love to lick their humans, possibly less for affection and more to check on their temperature and health. They don't care what they've just eaten or what unspeakable body parts they've just licked, your well-being is their primary concern and they insist on doing their health check at any time of day or night.
- Long haired dachshunds are incredibly sweet-natured, possibly as a result of the intermingled Spaniel blood that created the long-haired flavour of dachshund. They seem completely uninterested in doggy politics, and will join in any game of tug-of-war or chase simply for fun and not for any House of Cards sort of skullduggery.
- Dachshunds are incredibly stubborn. So much so that since learning value of putting my puppy on a leash during her 3am garden piddle visits (to prevent her disappearing into the darkness to chase the nightlife for hours at a time), despite desperately needing to tinkle (or so she would have me believe) she will squarely sit her butt down and pointedly ignore me in disgust at her nighttime jaunt being restrained.
- Despite being little stumpy gnomes, mini dachshunds can really jump, showing an amazing ability to vault over obstacles and up onto furniture, things that were previously believed to be out of their reach.
- They like to be super comfortable, so much so that at bedtime my puppy will climb up onto my pillow and plop her butt down on my head and commandeer my pillow.
- For such a tiny dog, they can generate some outstandingly powerful farts. I mean, this is an animal that is willing to eat absolutely anything, so there's no guessing what foul concoction she's spent all day brewing up in her tummy laboratory.
- Although they're supposed to be good with children, my puppy can't seem to figure out what these mini humanoids are, treating them with a mix of cuddle-longing and apprehension.
- They are suckers for treats and food, which means you need to control their portions to avoid getting a tubby little furball.
My life is all the better since adding a dog to it as it's taught me a lot about myself and how well I can 'adult', now being responsible for nurturing the life of another. The unconditional love and affection I get in return more than makes up for the stolen socks, 3am baths, vet expenses, nibbled furniture and poop riddled garden.
So in honour of National Puppy Day, this is my tribute to the little poopacabra that I can't imagine being without.

A young boy was walking by a watermelon patch, and had the thought of taking a watermelon for himself. Though his conscience warned against it, looking around and seeing no one, he stole a ripe watermelon and ate it. When he had enjoyed all he could, he said to himself, "Now what am I going to do? Look at this rind and these seeds." So the boy took a stick, and dug a hole next to a pine tree. He put in the rind and the seeds and covered them up, then put pine needles and leaves on top, thinking all was fine. Two weeks passed, and the boy forgot all about his dishonest deed. However, one day the owner was walking by the tree, and he saw a strange sight: watermelon sprouts everywhere!
Ezekiel warns, "And they shall bear their iniquity- the punishment" (14:10). Al Novak, in his study Hebrew Honey states, "The Hebrew word avon for punishment in this text is the same as the Hebrew word for iniquity. In other words, iniquity is a boomerang, and when it returns to the heart whence it was issued it, does so with a greater force than when it emerged or spouted. Iniquity is a serpent that crawled out of man's heart, only to return with more venom in its poison bags to syringe into the wounds it left. A sinner forges the tools for his punishment in the black shop of his heart where iniquity burns red like a fire. Then he cries, 'My punishment is greater than I can stand'" (Genesis 4:13).
Lady Macbeth, in the famous Shakespearean drama, washed her hands after the murder of Duncan. Then, holding them up, she gazed at them in horror and exclaimed, "Here's the smell of blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand." In The Preacher's Homiletic Commentary, we read, "Sin is a bitter thing. Bitter in itself and its consequences. It promises pleasure and brings pain; liberty, and brings bondage; happiness, and brings misery. Its misery is personal and eternal, darkness without day, sorrow without relief."
Legend has it that in Scotland there is in an old church a floor of stone, and that one of these stones stares out at you in blood red from among the gray stones around it. The legend declares that a murder was committed there, and repeated attempts to cover the telltale color have proven fruitless. The legend's moral is correct. Every sin of the past sends its ghost to haunt the soul of the guilty and unrepentant.
"Sin is, has been, and ever shall be the parent of misery" (Thomas Carlyle).

Liberal Democrat MEPs today supported the size of the EU's multi-annual financial framework deal reached by Member States last month. They also supported moves to renegotiate the shape of the budget to make it more flexible and focused on areas that will bring jobs and growth to the UK, such as investments in R&D, innovation and infrastructure.
Commenting after the votes, Lib Dem European budget spokesperson George Lyon MEP, said:
"At a time when people all over Europe have to tighten their belts we need to ensure that the EU is working to create jobs and build the stronger economy that we need. Our priority needs to be supporting projects that have real economic benefits in the UK and across the continent, not signing off on massive increases in administration budgets. Continue reading

News Navigator: What is Aung San Suu Kyi's title in Myanmar?
(Mainichi Japan)
Q: Is Aung San Suu Kyi the leader of Myanmar?
A: The National League for Democracy (NLD), which is led by Aung San Suu Kyi, swept the general election last year and formed a new administration in March of this year. Suu Kyi's title is "state counselor," and she is, in effect, the leader of the country.
Myanmar's Constitution states that no individual with foreign family members may become president of the country. Because Suu Kyi's two sons are British citizens, the NLD submitted a bill to establish the position of state counselor especially for her, and this was passed in parliament. It is a powerful post that enables her to advise the president and Cabinet ministers and government ministries.
The constitutional clause is said to have been produced by the former military administration to prevent Suu Kyi from becoming president. The junta established a dictatorship, and clamped down on democracy movements. Suu Kyi was a symbolic figure in the movement, and she was placed under house arrest for over 15 years.
Q: Will democracy in Myanmar make progress?
A: There is hope that democracy will progress in Myanmar, but the military retains strong control over politics in the country. One quarter of all members of parliament are appointed by the military rather than being elected. To alter the predominant position of military personnel, it will be necessary to change the Constitution -- but the consent of military personnel in parliament is required in order to do this.
Q: How should the NLD solve conflict with the military?
A: The military has a major role to play in solving various political problems, such as achieving peace with armed ethnic minorities. Because the military has many related business enterprises, and has influence over the country's economy, it seems that the only solution is to promote democracy while forging a certain level of cooperative relations with the military.

Esca and pike lures, what does that mean you may think. I will explain this for you. Esca is a new invention from a Norwegian company called Esca Global A/S.
This company has combined a natural phenomenon which has been around for millions of years to fishing lures. In the night or at deep depths different creatures in the sea have evolved a light organ to navigate or attract other fish, either for spawning or for catching prey fish.
Esca Global A/S has through years of development made small units which create light.These can be placed near lures or baits to attract any kind of fish.
Research during a long period proves that this is super effective because most fish species are naturally attracted to light in the evening or night.
The units contains materials which reacts with the salt molecules and develop light. Because it demands a certain amount of salt in the water it is limited to be used in saltwater and brackish water. However, it is possible to use this new invention for those who do pike fishing in the sea as pike manage to live and reproduce in brackish water.
This unit generates its own energy just by being in water with saltiness, and it last at least 100 hours in the water.
Just attach this unit in front of or between the lure and hooks of your pike lures or other fishing lures and expect more catches.
The company guarantee much better fishing results or you will have your money back without reservations.
Esca weighs 9 grams and have blue or green and have different blinking frequensies.
Check out this new revolutionary invention and get ahead of your fishing friends.

Do you know that in the 1950s, Cagayan de Oro had a star actor by the name of Federico Del Puerto? … and he was known as the Errol Flynn of the Philippines.
The actor who starred in the film THE PIRATES GO TO TOWN had a resemblance of the Australian-born Hollywood actor as shown below.
Below is Errol Flynn…
Here's a portrait of Federico Del Puerto which can be found at the former Federico's Grill (along Velez-Gaerlan Sts) fronting Gazebo.
The home of the Del Puerto family still exists right at the back of Capt. Richie's Baby Back Ribs which now occupies the space formerly that of Federico's Grill.

Clive Palmer: Did you just get bored?
Clive Palmer, A-League Club Owner and Billionaire tries to takeover football, all of it - yet he can't even get his own Franchise right.
Before we forget:
Here's five things Clive did really well -
Signed Jason Culina and made a splash.
Appointed Miron Bleiberg and got plenty of coverage.
Made some nice noises early about his clubs intentions.
Opened the gates for free once the whole crowd thing seemed to be going pair shape.
Signed a whole heap of local talented Youth players.
Here's five, just five things he did really poorly.
1. Game one, away to Brisbane advised his own supporters not to travel.
2. Closed the stadium
3. Refused to pay injured players.
4. Talked the game down and other codes in the Gold Coast region.
5. Refused to sign players for more than one year contracts....which suggests to me the guy wanted out and is looking for an out.
He now has forced his out. Was this his plan all along???
