If you don't have a Flagstar Bank down the street, you can qualify for one of the best 36-month CD rates around.
Flagstar is paying 3.00% APY with a $500 minimum deposit to anyone who doesn't live near one of its 180 branches in Michigan, Indiana and Georgia.
If you drive by a Flagstar office on your way to work every day, you'll have to settle for a good, but not top drawer, 2.75% APY.
Flagstar's 3.00% APY beats the best deal in our latest ranking of the best 36-month CD rates — 2.90% APY from Intervest National Bank.
But because it isn't available nationwide — an unfortunate situation for all those savers in places like Detroit, Indianapolis and Atlanta– we can't include it in our rankings.
Click here to find out which 3-year CD rate you qualify for. When you enter your zip code, a certificate of deposit rate sheet will appear.
You can also use our extensive database of CD rates to compare Flagstar's offer with the best deals from scores of other banks.

What to Eat to Gain Muscle
Professional athletes, bodybuilders, and individuals who want to stay fit through nutrition and training programs need to follow a few tips for increasing muscle mass. Weight training and full body workouts are the basis for gaining strength and building muscle. No matter how much training a person does, if they do not have enough body mass, they will never look muscular. Gaining weight through a diet that is high in calories is equally as important in order to gain muscle. There are few things to keep in mind when planning what to eat and drink to achieve the best results.
- Create a caloric surplus. This means you must eat more calories than your body burns. Extra calories help to repair muscles from strenuous workouts and they help to build new muscle. Too much weight training and not enough calories will make a person look skinny. Some calories are more helpful than others for helping a person gain muscle and increase muscle mass – these include protein, and high quality carbohydrates and fats.
- If a person eats 20 times their body weight in calories from potato chips and ice cream, it is not likely they will gain muscle. Instead, they should eat whole foods that are unprocessed and full of nutrition. Protein from meat, poultry, fish, and eggs is the only type of food that will help create new muscle. There are protein supplements available at vitamin and wellness stores that help people take in more calories and gain muscle. Foods that are high in dietary fats will increase testosterone. Complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice, potatoes, and oatmeal will help produce energy.
- Eat more often. Eating breakfast is a great way to take in calories in the very first hour of the day. People who are trying to build muscle should also eat after workouts to help repair muscles and replenish energy. A steady intake of nutrients not only supports healthy muscles, it also boosts metabolism. Eating six meals per day will accomplish this.
- Drink a lot of water. Most people do not drink enough water. Dehydration can happen easily during intense workouts. Drinking a sufficient amount of water will help muscles repair themselves. Water naturally removes toxins from the body. Juice and soda are not substitutes for water – they include sugar which will ultimately be stored as fat if their energy is not used immediately.
Enhancing a training and fitness regimen with the proper diet is the only way to healthfully gain muscle. People who train hard in the gym need to be aware that what they eat and drink during the day will either help or hinder their workouts. Muscles need to rest and repair. Proteins, complex carbs, and high-quality fats are the food a person's body needs for optimal recovery. Muscles will grow when they are developed through weight training, nourished with the proper foods and plenty of water, and are well rested. Perhaps above all, the determination and drive to follow a predetermined plan day in and day out is the most important element to muscle building because consistency is the real secret for increasing muscle mass.

We spent time previously in the past post or two discussing, on behalf of your Thunder Bay Buick cars, the ways in which Buick is listening to their current customers, tells us that they are interested in satisfying all that their consumers need and want in a new Buick car. The Buick Envision is the latest subject of our writing and we will pass along the details of new things to point out to you regarding the newest model years.
New nine-speed automatic is present on the Buick cars in Thunder Bay. 2.0L turbo engine offers increased vehicle performance of 252 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The engine and transmission updates produce 0-60 mph acceleration just under a half-second quicker than the 2018 model. Engine stop/start deactivation switch, which is the first time we see this feature in a Buick car in North America. There is also a single rate brake booster which is for improved overall brake performance and requires less effort according to the experts at your Thunder Bay Buick Service and Sales.
More than the above, we also see the flexibility to switch between Adaptive Cruise Control and conventional Cruise Control. This is ideal for those of us interested in autonomous driving ability but still lack the desire to give up total control behind the wheel. These Thunder Bay New Buick cars in Ontario also have enhanced visibility on the rear vision cameras and improved hands-free microphone for better call quality and better voice recognition. So, you can see, not all of these features on the new Buick Envision are entirely novel ideas or concepts, but rather improved to make them work smarter and more comprehensively. They are also almost all features that were asked for by current Buick car consumers in Thunder Bay Canada.

$$$ NYC Trader Expo $$$
So I'm in Time Square and there are lights flashing all around on giant TV's while news scrolls by endlessly. It's 7:30am on this chilly President's day and I'm on my way to the Marriott Marquis at 45th and Broadway to go to the trader expo!
If you have never been and you want to be a trader, it's an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in a myriad of techniques and strategies. Admittedly, by 7pm, my brain was feeling a little like mush from all that "strategy!"
Below are a list of some the presentations I attended. Some were good and offered practical approaches and strategies for various markets. Some were a little more like snake oil salesmen claiming they can teach me how to take $10k and make $250k while only working 5 minutes a day! Come on, do people really believe such a system exists?
AT 8:00 am I hit a panel consisting of five successful traders with five different approaches. They each explain what they look at to find and manage winning trades. One plays oil futures and makes trades based on the tumultuous relations between the US and IRAN. Another panelist plays only stocks in the news that have at least 3% moves. Another one manages her stock trades exclusively around Fibonacci levels. While another strictly trades on technical analysis.
Next presentation I visit is how to play ETF's long and short using a sector rotation strategy. Unfortunately there was no real sector rotation strategy, just a moving average play using the 2 and 5 on the five-minute chart.
I also visited a forex speaker to kill some time and thought it was going to be a waste when the speaker showed us a picture of himself as a competitive collegiate skier. It got interesting however, when he broke into how he uses Elliot wave and Fibonacci levels for his trades and what markets(copper, bond, S &P) lead what currencies. It was a good mini introduction on Forex.
The next man is sort of a cult figure on the trader scene who wears a very expensive watch and whose body guard wears a hat with a feather. The room is packed with probably 300 people crammed into a long hall that seats only 200. People are lining the walls and sitting on the floors. These people love him as he tells them how successful he is. It took the speaker a while to go through his background (like an hour), but then he walked you through what basically was a breakout play off the first 5 minute candle.
Finally I go to a presentation on exploiting the increased volatility in the market. The speaker was like an encyclopedia of strategies. He threw out 5 different trades using 5 different indicators to make trades. He also has several strategy's based on price plays with cool names such as "The Ambush, Hot knife through Butter and the Gotcha Zone!" It was pretty exciting, yet really left me wondering how he could possibly ever have enough time to implement more than a few of these strategies.
The varying strategies and markets just represent the varying personalities that exist. However, out of all the ideas and trade strategies, there was one underlying concept. Have a clear plan. Each one knew their exact entry signal,their profit target and their stop-loss.
The expo continues tomorrow and is free if you pre-registered. There are more presentations and are certainly worth the time and experience. Be sure to stop by the KeyStone Trading Group booth on the 5th floor at #5203. Pick up a free DVD and talk with Erik and Pete about trading.

The next generation of drones will be smarter than your average quad- or hexacopter. In some cases, you won't even need to fly them manually. Instead, they'll follow you around intelligently, viewing the world with depth-sensing 3D cameras that allow them to map their surroundings and autonomously navigate them.
So no more drone crashes. Unprecedented freedom. In fact, you could fly a RealSense-equipped Yuneec Typhoon H with your eyes shut.
The key lies in collision-avoidance technology. It's arguably the next must-have drone feature and we've already seen what it can do on the Yuneec Typhoon H. At this year's CES, for example, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich demonstrated how the clever hexacopter could follow a cyclist through an artificial forest, dodging artificial trees. All without human input.
That's the big appeal of the Typhoon H — it can literally fly itself. With drone near-misses hitting the headlines, giving UAVs the ability to auto-fly could make them crash-proof.
So in addition to its geo-fencing, Dynamic Return Home and Low-Battery Return Home options, the Yuneec Typhoon H features an Orbit Mode (where the drone automatically moves around its controller, keeping it in the middle) and a Journey Mode (allowing you to plan and customise a route for the Typhoon H to follow).
Seeing with RealSense eyes
Yuneec's drone is also designed to be modular and its default situational awareness (ultrasonic proximity detection) can be boosted with the addition of an Intel RealSense camera module.
RealSense uses a combination of an infrared camera, infrared laser projector and a normal RGB colour camera to perceive depth. Working alongside an Intel Atom processor, the RealSense module crunches the camera data to enable the Typhoon H drone to accurately map its surroundings in 3D. It can then make flight corrections (in real time) to avoid obstacles. Like these cacti…
According to Yuneec, the Typhoon H is perfect for "both skilled and novice pilots and photographers." Powered by six propellers, it can fly for up to 22 minutes, filming (or taking 12 megapixel stills) with its CGO3+ 4K, 360-degree rotation camera.
Without RealSense-assisted flight, pilots control it using an ST16 Personal Ground Station remote controller, which incorporates a built-in 7-inch Android touchscreen.
Smarter and safer drones
The Yuneec Typhoon H combines all of the latest drone technologies into a single carbon fibre package, one so small that it can be folded away into its own backpack.
Fully upgraded with advanced collision-avoidance and follow me features, it's easy to see how future drones will become smarter, safer and more fun to fly. Near-misses and crashes should become a thing of the past. While with the addition of LTE technology (and relaxed aviation authority rules), they will also be able to fly beyond line-of-sight to make deliveries or to conduct autonomous surveillance tasks.
The Yuneec Typhoon H will be available for around £1,399 this April with the RealSense module to follow, price £TBA. — Dean Evans (@evansdp)

Windows Registry Checker
The windows registry is a directory which stores the settings and options for the operating system for Microsoft Windows. The registry contains the information and settings for all the hardware, operating system software, most non-operating system software, preferences for the computer and more. Changes that are made to the control panel settings, installed software, file associations or system policies theses changes are stored in the registry.
The registry contains two elements - keys and values.
The keys are like folders as each key can contain sub-keys and those sub-keys can contain more sub-keys. The keys are reference with a syntax, a bit like path names with backslashes to show the different levels.
The values are data pairs stored within the keys and are referenced separately from keys. The windows API functions that query and manipulate registry values take the value names separately from the key path.
What If There Are Problems With The Registry?
There are occasions when a computer can become overloaded and will no longer accept data or may misplace data that is stored in it. If this happens then it is time that your registry will need fixed.
So how do you fix the registry?
Fixing the registry is not all that easy but having said that it's too hard either and there are many programs that you can get for fixing and keeping your registry clean.
Basically to fix the registry you need to change all the registry information back to its original default settings or repair any errors within the settings.
It is vital to do backups of your registry so that you are able to retrieve your original settings if the need arises. If your registry is unable to be repaired then having a backup is the only way for you to get your original settings back.
Many of the programs available to help keeping your registry running smoothly will have features to enable you to do backups and restore of the registry. These programs will create system restore points so that they can repair your system back to what it was at that point.
If your computer is running very slowly and not as efficient as it should be then it is quite possible that you may have a problem with your registry. Your computer may have something as simple as incorrect program shortcuts that may be causing applications to run slower or launch slower and in some cases may stop working altogether. By having a registry cleaner installed on your computer it will find and remove little headaches like these and improve the performance of your PC.
Registry checkers can be scheduled to run to whenever you want it to. You can set it up to run when your computer first starts up or to run daily, weekly or monthly.
These programs will then automatically scan for problems and repair any that are found.
A registry cleaner will find and remove any invalid class keys and shell extensions that may be really slowing down your PC speed. A cleaner will clean up any registry keys that are not being used and are of no value to your computer and all they are doing is slowing it down. You can also improve the start up speed of your computer by managing the start-up items and choosing which programs you want to launch each time you start your computer. Often you will have software that starts automatically each time your computer starts up and if you don't need this software to do that then it is just slowing down your start-up speed. You may also have missing programs in the start-up area of the registry that can cause your computer countless problems and a good registry cleaner will be able to find and delete those.
There are many registry cleaners available on the internet and they are programs that are specifically designed to fix registry problems on computers.
There are many other things that can cause your computer to have problems and run slowly like viruses, worms, spyware and adware. It is important to always take care when visiting websites and particularly take care when downloading anything online.
It is vital to have an anti-virus program on your computer and most people do have them but not as many people have a registry cleaner and really it is just as important to keep your registry in good order as it is to watch out for viruses. So protect your computer and install a good windows registry checker and your computer will run smoothly and make it much easier for you to use.

There's a writing habit I try to avoid. I call it "bookending," couching my main point in apologetic language. You don't have to do it this way, it's what works for us! I'm not saying there's something wrong with anyone who does it differently, but…! There are more subtle ways to do this, for example when I was in university I often softened my opinions by saying many nice things about something I was about to criticise, and other times I would make a statement – one I did truly believe – but add that I had not done my research, and oh, you know, I don't really know what I'm talking about.
I'm not the only one who does this. Most conversations I have with people involve apologetic language, blogs I read are full of apologies, the mom blogs are the biggest culprits. I wonder sometimes if this is one way post modernism impacts each of us – we are unwilling to fully own our opinions because everyone else's thoughts are valid, welcome, accepted, even the ones that are contrary to ours. When we share our thoughts, however simple and unimportant they may be, we need to couch it in apologies so that the people we share it with do not feel offended.
What a wretched way to live. Not all ideas are created equal, not all opinions are created equal, and not all ways of life are created equal.
What does this have to do with that delicious, moist blueberry lemon muffin? Not much except that when I started writing this, I felt like I needed to apologize via sarcasm or a clever comment for a second muffin post in one week, and then I thought to myself, thisisridiculous, and then I reminded myself that this year, on this blog, I am not bookending my thoughts, I am not apologizing for them, I am not saying that there could be a better way of doing something or a different way of doing something. I am embracing what is happening in our lives, I am going to go deeper into my mind and my heart, I will share it, the end.
So this muffin.
I loved it. The taste is simple and classic, sweet and tart, but its texture was my favourite part, so soft and moist. When I started making it, I was laughing at myself because this recipe has both baking soda and baking powder and requires the use of a hand mixer, in other words, this is serious work for a non-baker. Then I discovered I didn't have enough butter, so I had to make two-thirds of the recipe and did not want to leave our flat to buy more. That is how much I did not want to leave my flat because if you know me at all, you know that I have zero – ZERO – desire to venture into the mental math territory, nevermind a mental math situation that is a bit less straightforward than doubling or cutting a recipe in half. What is two-thirds of half a teaspoon of baking soda? What is two-thirds of two eggs? This is why I don't bake, I told myself through gritted teeth as I mixed away.
But I went there, to the edge of mathematical and chemical adventures, and everything worked out just fine. Muffins are the best concoctions to try if you do not consider yourself adept in the baking department. They are forgiving little creatures. Tasty, too.
- Blueberry Lemon Muffins (from Confections of a Foodie Bride, an excellent baking blog) I followed the recipe as specified with two exceptions – I did not use lemon zest but used lemon juice instead (I feel uncomfortable using the zest of non-organic lemons, which I have yet to find in our supermarket), and I added strawberries. You really could use any fruit, but lemon and blueberry is a lovely combination. I probably put more lemon juice in than needed, but I liked the tart taste in the end. Depending on how tart your batter is, the sugar can be reduced to make it more breakfast appropriate. If you used only a tiny bit of lemon, I think you could halve the sugar, and it would be fine.

And a big thank you to my brother, Alex and everyone else I've forced to take photos of me.
Oh and its MY 19th Birthday today too.
It was incredibly misty which is why the pictures are the way they are but, as Alex and I had walked ten minutes in sub zero temperatures balloons in hand we had to try and take some anyway.
C'est la vie

Jay Lambert, M.S.
Class of 2006
My experience with Boise State's IPT online graduate program has been fantastic. I entered the program to refine my instructional design skills. I've not only done that, but have also developed a whole new career around performance improvement. The skills I've developed and the knowledge I've gain from the encouraging faculty and my new network of peers located around the country is invaluable. Because of the IPT program, my confidence in my abilities has soared, and as a direct result, so has the number of clients for my consulting firm.
This photo on the right side was taken after the faculty congratulated him on successfully passing the oral comprehensive exam.

Thanks a million!
Between loads of laundry resulting from our lovely holiday in South-Africa , I managed to make a card yesterday!
We had a wonderful time catching up with mostly family... time just too short to visit all our friends :'(
But it's always good to be back 'home', especially being back in the craft room!
I have used this little digi of a sticky note before... I just added my own (new) sentiment.
Washi tape and a little flower to finish it off.
The sentiment means 'thanks a million' in English.
I will share it in both English and Afrikaans.
The inspiration for my card was provided by Case this sketch:
Thanks for visiting me today!

Living the dream has never been easy in the West's most beloved adventure hamlets, where homes are a fortune and good jobs are few. But the rise of online short-term rentals may be the tipping point that causes idyllic outposts like Crested Butte, Colorado, to lose their middle class altogether—and with it, their soul.
Brian Barker was living in Portland, Oregon, with a well-paying union job as a spokesperson for the fire department. But despite having "a job you don't leave"—he had an itch. "I wanted to go live in the mountains," he says. "I didn't want to sit in traffic all the time. I was tired of living in the city."
"This is a great place to raise kids," Barker, a divorced father of two young children, tells me one evening, wearing a baseball cap, a vest, and a hint of stubble. We're seated at the Brick Oven, a locals' hangout on Elk Avenue, the town's main spine, where tidy wood-frame buildings in a rainbow palette glow beneath the snow-capped mass of the eponymous mountain.
Barker's life seems enviable. He rents a "beautiful" place a mile south of town. He had his kids on skis practically before they could walk. He has a job he loves, as marketing manager for the town's Adaptive Sports Center, a nonprofit that gives people with disabilities the chance to participate in outdoor activities. "They ski down that mountain," he says, "and now they realize they can ride the bus to the grocery store."
This postcard existence comes at a price, though. The cliché about remote adventure-town idylls is that people either have a second home or a second job. Barker has three jobs. "I produce videos on the side—I just shot my first wedding. Oh, and I drive an ambulance," he says, laughing. "As a single parent"—his ex-wife lives 35 minutes away, in Gunnison—"you pretty much have to work multiple jobs."
Not long ago, Barker stopped by the property-management company that oversees his rental to talk about a water heater on the fritz. "The manager said, 'I know you have kids, but the owners are thinking about turning your place into a VRBO. You should probably start looking.' "
Barker suddenly found himself in the eye of a gathering social and economic storm, caused by the rise of the online short-term rental. From Barcelona to Boston, the world has been grappling with the arrival of home-sharing platforms. Amid any number of skirmishes—neighbor against neighbor, tourist against townie, lobbyist against legislator—cities have scrambled to get a handle on this "wild west" (one of the most common descriptors of the new home-rental landscape) and rushed to enact regulations. Everywhere you look, the battle is raging. In Flagler County, Florida, just north of Daytona Beach, 150 people turned out for a March meeting over a bill, backed by home-rental companies, that would limit how local governments can regulate short-term rentals, or STRs, as they are now frequently abbreviated. In Asheville, North Carolina, the issue proved so contentious that, late last year, a task force created to study STRs publicly splintered, according to the local Citizen-Times. In March, the city of San Diego—where residents of neighborhoods like Ocean Beach have decried the loss of local identity as rentals have proliferated—had to move a meeting on STRs to a bigger venue because of overflow crowds.
In Bozeman, in Ketchum, in Jackson, in just about every destination or gateway town, one hears a similar murmur: not only are short-term rentals squeezing the last drops out of the housing supply, but more profoundly, they are threatening the very character that drew in locals—and tourists.
This is precisely the drama playing out in Crested Butte, and Barker has found himself cast in an unwanted walk-on part. "I'm literally losing sleep over the fact that I don't know where I'm going to be living in a few months," he tells me. He has tracked down countless leads and joined multiple waiting lists for deed-restricted housing reserved for local workers, which comprises 21 percent of the town. He does not own a dog, despite his kids' pestering, to make himself a more attractive tenant. He has talked with the Regional Housing Authority about Section Eight housing, the national program providing assistance to low-income renters. "Which I qualify for," he says pointedly. "It's pretty humiliating, at age 41, to ask the federal government for help with housing." He does not want to leave the area, for fear of putting his child custody in jeopardy. "I'm scared," he confesses. "I'm kind of trapped in paradise."
Later, as I walked back to the place I had rented—via Airbnb—a few blocks away, I thought of a line I had seen on the site: "Live like a local." But what happens when locals can't afford to live like locals?

Barbados' Best Employers Award Programme 2018
Development of the Barbados' Best Employers (BBE) Award Programme
In 2010 Caribbean Catalyst Inc. (CCI) pioneered the recognition of organisations operating in Barbados with exemplary human resources practices and programmes. The programme seeks to publicly acknowledge employers who provide work environments which are conducive to high productivity and who support positive employer/employee relations.
Building on our inaugural programme which included a management interview and a staff survey, in 2012 we incorporated additional elements in the survey to assess Employee Engagement. In 2014 we added a Leadership Effectiveness Indicator and in 2016 we incorporated additional elements focused on the established drivers of productivity. We continue to ensure that the process is dynamic and relevant. In keeping with the BBE 2018 theme of Unleashing the Power of Motivation – A Predictor of Success!, we have included descriptors that seek to assess an individual's level of personal accountability.
The Barbados' Best Employers (BBE) Award Programme 2018 was launched by Caribbean Catalyst Inc. on January 30, 2018 at the Savannah Hotel.
The launch of BBE, by way of a press conference, was attended by participants from the previous BBE 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 programmes.
Nigel Adams, Executive Manager, Guardian General Insurance Limited, winner of the Medium Category, BBE 2016 spoke to the audience about the benefits that accrued to his organisation as a result of participating in BBE 2016.
The BBE programme takes the format of interviews with designated management representatives from participating companies and more importantly a staff survey in the following areas:
- Culture
- Employee Communications
- Performance Management /Recognition
- Work Environment
- Work Life Balance
- Community Involvement
- Development & Career Opportunities
- Compensation & Benefits
An award is usually presented in each of the following business categories:
- Small companies (up to 25 employees)
- Medium companies (Between 26 – 150 employees)
- Large companies (151 employees or more)
The application form and information booklet are available on Caribbean Catalyst Inc.'s website (www.caribbeancatalyst.com) and at the Caribbean Catalyst office on River Road.
Applications close on February 20, 2018.

Tip of the Day
Sorting your Friends' Apple Watch Activity
If you've got friends and colleagues who are also Apple Watch users, you can help motivate each other by sharing your Activity rings with up to 25 of your friends. Once you've invited a friend and they've accepted your invitation, you can see their Activity data either by swiping to left from your rings in the watchOS Activity app, or by going to the Sharing tab in the Activity app on your iPhone.
By default, this list sorts you and your friends alphabetically by name, showing your progress toward each of your move goals. You can actually change this sort order, however, to rank yourself among your friends by how far you've each progressed toward your daily Move, Exercise, or Steps goals, or how many workouts you've completed — giving yourself even more motivation to get to the top of the leaderboard each day. In the iPhone Activity app, this is done from the Sort button in the top-right corner, while on the Apple Watch Activity app you can force touch (press hard) while viewing your friend list to access the option sorting options. On the Apple Watch, you'll also see the current sort order displayed at the top of the list.

Group health, a subject of public health, is a discipline which concerns itself with the study and enchancment of the health traits of biological communities. Whereas the time period community can be broadly outlined, community health tends to focus on geographical areas moderately than people with shared characteristics. The health characteristics of a neighborhood are sometimes examined utilizing geographic info system (GIS) software program and public health datasets. Some projects, akin to InfoShare or GEOPROJ combine GIS with existing datasets, allowing most of the people to look at the characteristics of any given neighborhood in collaborating international locations.

We present for you the map showing locations of PokeStops and PokeGyms in Junagadh, Gujarat. As for the stats go, Junagadh is the 7th largest city of Gujarat. Pokemon hotspots are also in decent number at Junagadh with 1 Gym and a few PokeStops.
If you think we missed any locations, Please let us know by comment. We'll be grateful for your valuable feedback.
Junagadh locations:
- Map courtesy of Google Maps API.
- Data generated from the Ingress Intel map.
Useful tips:
- Don't go to Gym fights straightaway. Make sure you have a collection of Pokemons with High CP.
- Go for fights in teams. More the players, higher your chances of winning against a gym with lower level.
- Always match up Pokemon type before battle, e.g. water type Pokemons can be taken down by electric or grass type.
Google for the full list of best suited Pokemons according to type.
- If game freezes too often or battery drains too quick, try disabling AR.
- Pokestops can be visited once in a few minutes. As the ones here are nearby, try to make multiple passed by using vehicles.
- Use Pokeballs with discretion. As you level up to higher levels, one will feel the scarcity of Pokeballs.
- Don't try to go for online scams like Pokeball / Coin generators and save yourself from getting banned.
- Don't power-up low CP pokemons even if you love them (like pikachu). You'll probably get a higher CP one in the future.

"If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen."-Harry Truman
My kitchen was not a selling feature when I finally (after months of looking) found my house. Don't get me wrong, I love my middle aged house. I love the character, the neighborhood and my neighbors (I am one lucky lady!). The kitchen however, leaves a lot to be desired. It is about the size of a postage stamp and as my mother has been known to say "you can't swing a cat in there". That is only part of the problem. The cabinets, two cabinets exactly, are hung too high, I can't reach them. There is little to no storage so I have incorporated a hutch as a pantry. My neighbor is actually building me new upper cabinets (open and easy to reach!) and my storage should double (wa-hoo!). I am going to attempt to paint my lowers this evening. A Friday night (you would think I would have something better to do wouldn't you?) with a glass of wine in tow. Wish me luck and happy weekend! Do something wonderful!
|Cheap pressed wood….in oak….sigh. Not to mention no black splash and beige-yellow walls. I am so not a beige kinda gal!
These kitchens are a little more my speed…note the punches of color!

Anthony told a story about the singer Johnny Maestro who was always reluctant to reveal that he grew up in the Smith Projects. I'm trying to make believe I know something about Doo-Wop. Anthony and his mom now live in Knickerbocker. He used to live on Oliver Street in the house that Al Smith lived in, #25.
from Joe Bruno:
In the original Crests, there were 5 people, Johnny Maestro, Patricia Van Dross, two black guys, J. T. Carter and Tommy Gough and Hal Torres, a Puerto Rican, who I thought was from Smith too.
When the Van Dross', Luther and Patricia, moved out of Smith the group became just 4.
Notice, Luther changed his name to one word instead of the original 2 words.
Johnny Motts was a mailman for awhile. And he did sing with a group called The Neighborhhood in the 80's. All guys from KV - Ross Aschutto -- a cop--, Frankie Fischetti, who lived under me at KG5, and Stevie Randazzo, the actor. They used to rehearse in Frankie's apartment, and I used to bang on the floor, telling them to shut the ...up. It's 2 in the ........ morning. I was kidding of course. Johnny quit in the early 90's and a guy named Carlo, from the 6th Ward, took his place. Not as good as Johnny Motts, but not bad.

Summer Turkish Fine Art Exhibitions by The Art Department at Casa dell'Arte Hotels of Art & Leisure
17 May-17 June, 6th Art Residency Exhibition: This year's selected artists are: Aslı Dinç, Ayşegül Karakaş, Deniz Yılmazlar, Mahmut Aydın and Elif Kahveci. The exhibition, titled 'Never Let Me Go', is the culmination of five weeks of work undertaken by the artists from different parts of Turkey who are successful in sculpture, painting, photography and video.
15 June-30 September, Bayram Candan: There will be a dedicated area of works from this late sculptor whose work arises from a feeling of urgency to freeze in sculpture a "single moment" of quotidian objects and people which will never again be seen in that particular size, color, vitality and freshness. The featured works are mainly from the exhibition "There Is A Strike At This Establishment", in which he touches on how little control individuals have over their bodies, their lives and their labor with a tongue-in-cheek approach through a character named 'Ayşe', a very common Turkish female name.
21 June-15 July, Kadir Akorak: Prominent architect and painter, known for his poetic and fantasy paintings. Akorak's paintings receive their subject matter from his own life, from his inner world and memories. In his paintings, he represents his own recollections and creates dreamlike compositions.
19 July-12 August, Hüsamettin Koçan: One of Turkey's distinguished artists whose works are influenced by Anatolian culture: myths, symbols, shamanism, disruption, sight and disguise are all the concepts he uses in his artworks.
15 August-31 October, Özlem Paker, Seçil Erel and Nezih Çavuşoğlu: A multidisciplinary artist, Özlem Paker, seeks to find the balance between the material reality and spiritual fiction. Seçil Erel, oscillates between the borders of mathematics, geometry, land surveying, architecture and painting, in her works, she represents an outcome of an interdisciplinary research to the viewer. Nezih Çavuşoğlu, the unique technique he uses while producing his total abstract paintings attract both the visual taste and perception of the viewer.

SERI Activities
News on SERI's conferences, symposiums, and seminars.
On February 10, 2010, Samsung Economic Research Institute, the Federation of Korean Industries, and the Korean Academic Society of Business Administration jointly hosted an international symposium titled "Korea's Economic Development and the Role of Entrepreneurship" in commemoration of Samsung's founder, Lee Byung-Chull's 100 th birthday. The symposium created an opportunity for guests to learn and share insights into Ho-Am, his many achievements, ideals and philosophy and of course, his legacy.
The day's events were divided into 3 main sessions and guest included diplomats, CEOs of both domestic and foreign companies, professors and researchers. With SERI's senior vice president, Lee Keon-Hyok presiding, the symposium opened with an opening address by the chairman of the Federation of Korean Industries, Cho Suck-Rai, which was followed by congratulatory remarks from the chairman of the Ho-Am Foundation, Lee Hyun-Jae and finally a keynote address by chairman of the Korean Academic Society of Business Administration, Nam Sang-Koo.
The first session was led by world renowned professor Tarun Khanna of Harvard University. Entitled "The Elephant in the Room: Groups and New Enterprise Formation in Korea, 1980-2009," the main theme of Professor Khanna's presentation was to address and position the role of entrepreneurship and the role of the Chaebol and large business groups in emerging markets, the loss of confidence and conservatism that has crept into Korean businesses and the structural underpinnings of the Korean economy. Professor Khanna stated that although research and public sentiment concerning large family owned businesses have been critical, big businesses play a vital role as "de-facto creators of new enterprises" and in protecting the country's economy by acting as a buffer to external shocks. Professor Khanna concluded his presentation by stressing that Chaebols should not become complacent in their current status but must strive to obtain fresh ideas and talented employees and use the sense of challenge and creativity that is distinctive to Korea to its fullest advantage.
The morning ended with a luncheon address by former SERI vice president, Choi Woo-Suk. In a speech entitled "Memories of Lee Byung-Chull," the former president described his first meeting with Ho-Am at JoongAng Ilbo, where the late founder used to frequent due to his avid interest in the economy. Mr. Suk described Ho-Am as no ordinary entrepreneur but a giant, who processes dignity, refinement and a strong philosophy.
The main theme of the second session was "Reconsidering the Business Management Philosophy of Lee Byung-Chull," and consisted of three parts. With a presentation entitled "The Status of Lee Byung-Chull in the History of Korean Business Management," Professor Chang Jin-Ho of Yonsei University described Lee Byung-Chulls economic contributions to Korea and business philosophy of prioritizing human resources and pursuing rationality. Professor Chang went on to say that in order to create a lasting business such as Samsung, entrepreneurs must follow in the footsteps of the late founder by emphasizing innovation and creativity.
Sorbonne University's Professor Dominique Barjot and Phd. Rang-Ri Park Barjot continued the second session with a presentation entitled "Reconsidering Lee Byung-Chull's Business Leadership and Management Philosophy from the Perspective of European Business History." Dr. Park Barjot described the late founder's unprecedented management model which is an infusion of Japan's management system, Germany's production methods and the US's business management. She continued by praising Samsung's strengths and characteristics and its influence on the Korean economy and other companies.
Professor Yanagimachi Isao of Keio University concluded the session with his presentation, "Lee Byung-Chull's Philosophy of Human Resource Management" in which he described Lee Byung-Chull's business management philosophy, the foundation for Samsung's standing as a global player in the international arena. He stressed the importance of Samsung's priority to human resources and cultivating talent and its innovative methods in achieving these goals.
Professor Song Jae-Yong of Seoul National University was the guest speaker for the third and final session. With his presentation entitled "21 st Century Korea and Entrepreneurship" Professor Song shed light on the development of Samsung and Lee Byung-Chull's business management. He also looked into the paradigm shift in today's Korean economy and corporate culture.
The symposium rounded off with a lively Q&A session where guests had the chance to ask the guest speakers on matters concerning Korea's economic standing and Lee Byung-Chull's influence on the world of business in Korea.

Fallen Flame by J.M. Miller is an action-packed YA fantasy story about a girl with magic, in a world without magic. The premise sounds a little unoriginal and now that I think back of it, the whole story isn't really that original, it is a fun book though.
Fallen Flame by J.M. Miller
Nineteen years ago, on the island kingdom of Garlin, a girl was born. With charred skin as rough as rock, Vala was instantly feared. For how could one be scorched by magic when it had perished ages before?
Recognizing an asset, the royal family welcomed her on their Guard. Her detail: the prince.
To watch. To protect. She has grown with him, lives her life for him.
When the high kingdom's princess comes to assess the prince, assassins of rival courtiers come to claim his life. One nearly succeeds in his mission. But with shadowy movements and charred skin like her own, Vala knows he is not like the rest.
As threats to the prince continue and questions about Vala's life begin to rise, she faces a fear worse than fire or water, worse even than losing him.
She fears finding out who she truly is.
Fallen Flame is about Vala, a girl whose body is scorched by magic, meaning that her skin is rough, stone-like. Vala is the guard of the prince, called Caulden, who is also one of her best friends. They grew up together and are therefore really close. There is also some romantic tension between the two, which was an aspect I didn't really like. It felt like an overused trope, the guard and the prince falling in love. Vala herself is an interesting character, though after reading this entire book, I still don't know much about her. She's determined, curious and protective but besides that? She lives for her work and especially in the beginning, I found her to be very one-dimensional. She had no interests besides protecting Caulden.
"My thoughts, my dreams, they had been nothing in comparison. They were a single drop of water, and this, the whole sea."
The story itself was very enjoyable. It was fast-paced and there was a lot of action happening. I liked the introduction of Xavyn and the mystery surrounding him. He starts to play a very important role in the story and lead to Vala trying to find out more about her past. The ending still feels a bit strange for me, but considering it is the first book in a series, there will probably be a lot resolved in the other books.
"The feelings that had once lifted me, that I'd once ached for, were like embers in the night fog, drifting into nothing, extinguished."
I really liked the writing style of the book, it really kept you interested in the story. Many of the chapters ended in a sentence that was so intriguing that you wanted to read the next chapter immediately. I wasn't a big fan of the first-person perspective, but that is just a personal thing.
Overall, this book wasn't a bad start for a trilogy. I think the characters can really use some more development, and perhaps the next book will be a little less predictable. I enjoyed the writing style and the pacing of the book, but sadly, I couldn't connect to any of the characters and they felt a little flat. Besides Vala's skin condition, there was no diversity in this book. I am giving this book 3.5 stars because it was decent, but could have been a lot better.
*I received an ecopy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
p.s. If you hadn't noticed yet, my blog design has changed!

There seems to be a real nutcase lurking somewhere in the head offices of Wayne County (Michigan) Department of Public Services.
Wayne County Worker Fired after Finding Gun on the Job [Fox 2 Detroit]
Detroit groundskeeper fired after finding loaded gun, handing it to cops [Fox News]
There's more than one reason to get this gun out of the grass. I don't know exactly where this was, but at least in many places, potentially kids could get to it and a tragedy could happen. Or the gun could have been ingested by a mowing machine and caused injury or death to any of the nearby works. And maybe this gun was important evidence in a crime.
So what did WCDPS management want the worker to do? Just leave it there and let the risks (greater because they are there mowing) stay? Would they want them to just mow around the gun and leave a patch of tall grass that might attract more attention (kids wondering why that patch was left behind). Or maybe they just wanted them to stop mowing and do nothing until the police show up, wasting taxpayer dollars?
Basically, this is a no-win situation for the worker that was fired (and the supervisor that was suspended for 30 days). This is because the county policy is incomplete and FAILS to address this kind of situation. I'm not going to say "heads need to roll in WCDPS management" because very possibly only one manager made this incredibly stupid decision. So "at least one head needs to roll". That manager is the one that should be fired.
I'm sure quite many attorneys in Detroit City would love to take his case, some maybe for free. That means even more taxpayer dollars lost because of an incompetent manager.

Here we go again with the iPhone, Apple says it's issuing a fix without - as is Apple's habit - telling us what it's fixing.
Even as a satisfied user I can think of plenty. Searchable e-mail. MobileMe that really works on my iPhone (it still does nothing outside theb e-mail). A way of using the thing that doesn't demolish the battery before you've been out for a whole day. A do-list function for the phone that syncs with the do-list on iCal.
I suspect we're in for nothing as dramatic. Which is a shame.

By Rob Schofield
One of the healthiest political developments of the past few decades has been the rise of the consumer movement.
Americans champion the rights of consumers because we know that an informed citizenry is essential to produce balance and honest competition in our modern, capitalist economy.
Many of us have also become incredibly sophisticated consumers in our own right because we want to inform and empower ourselves and our neighbors.
Like many other political and cultural phenomena, however, the consumer movement has a dark side.
As the movement has spread and adapted during the last few decades, it has come to play a large and growing role in some areas in which it is less beneficial – most notably in the way in which citizens relate to government.
From social security to transportation to public schools, many Americans seem increasingly bent upon viewing essential government services as commodities, and government itself as just another giant corporation.
In the same passive-aggressive way that we relate to Wal-Mart and other superstores, many Americans demand of their government only that it produce ever-better schools, roads and retirement at ever-cheaper prices.
In the long run, this "what's in it for me?" vision of government as a mega-version of the suburban box store is not sustainable.
Americans need vibrant and healthy government precisely because the private-sector model cannot — and is not designed to — meet all the needs of successful society.
While the free market is the greatest engine yet devised for building wealth, it is also an imperfect and heartless system with many "losers" as well as "winners."
We need strong public institutions that help address the imperfections of the market.
Sometimes this will mean that each of us must sacrifice a little bit in the short term for the benefit of the longer-term common good.
As President Kennedy put it so succinctly, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
This is not to say that government doesn't have a lot to learn from the private sector. Both for-profits and nonprofits can teach government much about innovation and efficiency.
Ultimately, however, if we Americans are going to regain the sense of our nation as a commonwealth, it is essential that we remember the difference between being a good consumer and a good citizen.
Rob Schofield is director of research and public policy at N.C. PolicyWatch, a program of the A.J. Fletcher Foundation, which also publishes the Philanthropy Journal.

It's a cold, rainy day today, the middle of November, a time when the summer is past. I just received an email from the Carolina Raptor Center that Dudley, a Great Horned Owl and long time resident has passed away. I guess the timing is appropriate, since Dudley was a joy to a many visitors and supporters of the Carolina Raptor Center.
He was very old and had been imprinted by humans at an early age, so he could never have survived in the wild. Instead, his mission was amazing people, especially children. Dudley was nonplussed with children being just a few yards away.
In our increasingly urban and synthetic world, watching a child see a wild creature like Dudley up close was an experience. I think he imprinted many young minds with an appreciation of nature and the value of all things wild. There were always parents right behind, trying to capture the experience on their cell phones.
Dudley was also a great model. At the regular Photo Wild events the Raptor Center puts on for amateur photographers he was a regular feature. I know that he and his compatriots were a big factor in developing my own love for nature photography. There is just nothing like getting a crisp and detailed close up shot to inspire a photographer to get that long lens and get out into the woods.
By next spring's Photo Wild event, the Raptor Center will probably have rescued another damaged owl to take Dudley's place. That's the way nature works. The rain will stop and the sun will reappear. I'll still miss Dudley.
This is the complete text of the email from the Carolina Raptor Center.
HUNTERSVILLE, NC: Long-time resident of Carolina Raptor Center, Dudley, the Great Horned Owl, passed away Sunday morning from complications from a tumor.
The tumor was found in a routine exam by staff on Thursday. Emergency surgery was performed by Dr. Dave Scott. After the initial procedure, Dudley showed some improvement. It was clear, however, early Sunday that he was declining quickly and staff gathered to say their goodbyes. Dudley was 30 years of age and had lived long past the expected life span of a Great Horned Owl in the wild (5-15 years according to the National Geographic website).
For over 20 years, Dudley has captured the hearts and minds of audiences old and young. He was featured in video presentations and TV appearances, on billboards, and in other information pieces about the Center. In recent years, he was rarely seen without his "alter ego," Executive Director Jim Warren.
"Dudley was a great ambassador for Carolina Raptor Center," said Executive Director Jim Warren. "He accompanied me to many presentations for donors, friends and the media. He was central to many of the public programs we presented. It is inevitable when I see school aged kids (and many times, adults), they will ask me 'How's Dudley?' I will miss him."
Dudley came to Carolina Raptor Center after a well-meaning family had taken him in as a baby causing him to be imprinted on humans. After developing rickets from an improper diet, Dudley broke a wing and was taken to a local vet who transferred him to Carolina Raptor Center. (The Migratory Bird Act deems it illegal to be in possession of wild birds including Great Horned Owls unless permitted by US Fish and Wildlife.)
"It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Dudley, the Great Horned Owl, passed away this morning at 30 years of age. …Goodbye to our sweet old man; you will be missed," said Programs Director Natalie Childers in an email yesterday to staff and volunteers.

What ties together 1.7 million athletes?
For most people, DIF (The National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark) is synonymous with the organisation behind our heroes and heroines at the Olympic Games.
That the confederation is not only engaged in elite sports, but also amateur-level and recreational sports, and more than 1.7 million athletes in Denmark, is less well-known. This communicative task was the main challenge when working on a new identity to DIF.

Black Myrrh + Sage / 16oz. Soy Candle
Black Myrrh + Sage / 16oz. Soy Candle
-Black Myrrh + Sage-
A sensual, soft, and mysterious fragrance with the perfect balance of warm myrrh resin, rustic amber, soft sage, lavender, and sweet vanilla. This is a top favorite of ours and a best seller.
Hand poured into a beautiful 16oz glass jar with cotton wicks
Approx. 60 hours burn time
Jars are recyclable and reusable! When your candle is almost gone, pour out the wax, toss the wick, and then wash with soap and water. Use your jar to store things like miscellaneous buttons, paperclips, pens, cotton balls, etc.
Astatula candles are created in small batches in the heart of Old Seminole Heights, Tampa, FL.
I use 100% USA soy wax, cotton wicks, essential oils, and fine fragrances free of harmful pthalates.
Free of dyes and additives, my goal is to get as pure as possible with these little lights.
** PLEASE TAKE CARE when you burn a candle and make sure it's not left unattended in a room. For best results I would burn a new candle 3-4 hours in order to get an even melt pool of wax to the edges of the jar. I would also advise that you keep the wick trimmed to 1/4" in order to get the most out of it and prevent any smoking.
**SHIPPING - Domestic orders will ship via USPS priority mail. International orders ship USPS First Class International.
