When you decide to embark on a money saving, frugal living or money making journey you are full of motivation and enthusiasm, but keeping the momentum up can prove difficult.
Deciding to live this lifestyle can sometimes be tough, especially in the down times when nothing seems to be moving and you feel like you've exhausted every avenue, you can lose sight of your goals and wasting all your hard work by spending can seem very tempting.
When you feel like this don't give up, sit down with a notepad and pen and reassess ! here my top tips for finding what works for you.
Be Honest
Is there something you are doing that isn't working for you, do you resent those surveys that bring in pennies or are you fed up of cutting coupons for items you will probably never use, write everything down that you do to save/make money and go through them one by one, be honest with yourself is there something that is saving or making you a little money but is eating up a lot of time ?
It helps to reassess every month and don't be scared to simply stop doing something if it isn't getting you any closer to your goals.
As a personal example I've just recently joined a lot of new survey sites, some are paying really well others are just tedious but I'm giving them a month then I'm going to sit down with the figures and decide which ones are worth my time and which aren't, it's really as simple as that.
Work To Your Strengths
When it comes to living frugally or making some extra money you really have to it within the boundaries of what you feel comfortable with, although I do believe in trying new things and pushing my boundaries but ultimately doing what's right for me.
I think what I'm trying to say is there are no hard and fast rules, you are not in competition with anyone, you don't need to the most extreme money saver or the best at living frugally, just do the best you can and find what fits for you and your family.
Let Others Inspire You
I love learning about what other people do to make a little extra money or what frugal money saving ideas they are implementing in their lives.
I find so much inspiration and motivation from people who are trying to live the same lifestyle as I am.
I really hope these tips help you if you are feeling a little burnt out by all the budgeting, saving and making money, think about how good it will feel when you reach your financial goals.
If you have any tips of your own please feel free to share them with me, I love hearing from you.

I was working on a New Year's Resolution sermon. I've never been a big one for setting my own resolutions, so I decided to do something a little different. I asked my four kids one simple question, "What are dad's goals for the coming year"?
My oldest son Tylee challenged me when he said he wanted me 1) to teach him more about God, 2) to teach him to be a man, and 3) to be an example worth following.
This book started as a letter to my oldest son. I have tried most of my life to be a "Man" but I can't say I always tried to be a "Good Man". Over the past 20 years, I have learned a few things on purpose and some things on accident. I've also learned one or two things about being a man, the hardest way possible and I have the scars, regrets and a few bad tattoos to prove it.
I don't think my path to becoming a man is a normal or traditional one. My path took me through drugs and alcohol, punk rock clubs and street gangs, through the loss of faith and the rejection of God, through looking for someone to tell me I'm worthy and pushing away everyone who loved me.
I've learned from parents, pastors, policemen, drug dealers, ex-cons, stay at home moms, high school kids, dead men, theologians, punks, comic books, and cartoons.
Along the way I learned how to change the oil on my car, how to use power tools, how to throw a punch, what my own blood tastes like, what a broken heart feels like, how to say I am sorry, how to forgive others, I've learned to trust in others, to walk in faith and to love deeply and boldly.
I want you to understand where I've been, how I got here. I started writing a letter to my son and 200+ pages later, it became a book. This book isn't a "How-To Book" but a letter from one man on the journey to other men on that same journey. These are my words of advice, warnings, and prayers that I hope to challenge you, encourage you and help you along your path to becoming a Focused Man.

Meet Jhulan Goswami – the best bowler of the 21st Century
Her bowling average of 16.62 in Test matches would put her at No.6 among all bowlers to ever play 10 or more Test matches if she was was playing the men's game.
Even more remarkably, given that she has played her Test cricket entirely in the 21st century, among bowlers operating in this century, she stands alone at No. 1 in the rankings. The only bowler, man or woman, who would remotely approach her average, having also straddled this century in the course of his career, would be Glenn McGrath with his 21.64 runs per scalp.
That is simply stunning.
She also happens to be the highest wicket taker in Women's One Day Cricket with a staggering tally of 195 victims from 164 matches giving away an average of 21.95 runs per wicket. Reigning at the top of women's cricket for the best part of 15-years, and at her peak widely acknowledged as the fastest bowler in the world, she is Jhulan Nishit Goswami.
Goswami was born to middle-class parents at Chakdah in Nadia district of Bengal on 25th November 1982. As Wisden recounted in a tribute earlier this year about what motivated a young Jhulan to take up cricket: "Soon, she would assume the position of a ball-girl as her cousins and friends played cricket. She would throw the ball back every time it went past the boundary line. She continued with it and ended up as a ball-girl in the 1987 World Cup final of Women's cricket being played at Eden Gardens. After watching such legendary figures of women's cricket like Belinda Clark, Debbie Hockey and Cathryn Fitzpatrick, she decided to make her career in cricket."
The dedication and hard work had been evident from the time a 14-year old Jhulan (affectionately called Jhulu) would make her way three times a week from Chakdah to Kolkata to pursue her passion for the game, notwithstanding the two hour long train and bus journey each way. At 7.30am she would be the first to line up for practice. At 9.30am the journey back would start again so that she could attend classes at school.
There is nothing quite like adversity and hard work to toughen you up mentally. Jhulan was no exception, and this toughness was to stand her in good stead in the future as she made her way into one of the most arduous and unrewarding pursuits in India – Women's cricket.
She was to say in an interview to Sportskeeda years later, "Cricket is everything in my life. It is only because of cricket I am here. My life started literally with cricket. I started it simply because of this indelible, indescribable passion and that has brought me here. I indulged in it purely for love and happiness – and there was ONLY one other thing – that if given a chance – I wanted to be good, to give my all, no matter how harrowing or gruelling. When we walk with a strong motive – milestones will automatically come but we don't rest and bask in it, do we? We may take a breather but we walk on because we have to walk on – there is no point in stopping. My journey started 15 years back but honestly it just feels like yesterday."
Indeed, from the time she made her first-class debut for Bengal at the age of 18, the sixteen years that have flown past have only been about cricket. Making her debut for Bengal against the mighty Maharshtra, Jhulan scored 30 and then had the opposition reeling at 17 for 5. It was clear to the few hundred spectators that day, a phenomenal talent had just been unleashed.
The international journey started when she was 19 at the Guru Nanak College ground in Chennai (the men play at the more glamorous Chepauk) opening the bowling for India against England in a One Day International. In her third over, Jhulan sent down an out swinger, and Mithali Raj at slip snapped up the edge from the Caroline Atkins. Jhulan's journey on the path to her 195 wickets had started.
Over the next 15-years, 'Caught Raj bowled Goswami' would become an oft repeated sight on the scorecards of the matches India played. In the Women's Asia Cup many years later when Goswami would bag her 100th wicket, it would be Mithali Raj again who would take the catch at short cover.
Throughout her career Goswami has exhibited something that is common to the best players ever to play the game. She has been phenomenal against top teams.
Four of her best spells have come against the big teams in women's cricket: Australia, England and New Zealand. Her best ODI figures were against New Zealand as she picked up 6 for 31 in 2011. But probably her best spell was against England as she sent them to the cleaners with her spell of 5 for 16. In Tests her best again came against England with a magnificent 5 for 25 and in T20s it was Australia's turn to face the music with Jhulan's best being a remarkable 5 for 11 against the world's most competitive and consistent team.
Last month in front of an unprecedented packed house at Lord's, as the Indian batting imploded from pressure and inexperience it needed Jhulan to come in and save the day as she has done countless times in the past. Instead, an uncharacteristic wild swipe on the first delivery she faced added to the woes and eventually handed England a World Cup they should rightfully have won. An abiding memory of that evening would be the sight of old comrades in arms Raj and Goswami standing together looking distraught as the carpet was pulled away from beneath their near victorious selves.
But that 9-run loss, while it will continue to rankle Goswami till the end of her days, will not take anything away from what she has achieved. The fact that she took the three best English wickets in a high pressure final to bring India to a stage where victory seemed all but assured, is in itself an achievement she and the country must recognise and treasure. We have come to expect nothing less from her, and she has always delivered.
Against all odds, the girl from a small town in Bengal who defied society to pursue her dream of playing cricket, has emerged as the most effective fast bowler the world of women's cricket has ever known. For 15-years she has carried the weight of expectations of a billion people on her broad shoulders and become an inspiration to millions of young women across the country.
Mithali Raj, captain, long time teammate, confidante and close friend of Goswami for much of their careers together, said it for all of us at the end of the World Cup: "Jhulan is a player India should celebrate."
That is the least a grateful nation can do.

Beautifully written.
Great tribute to a champion warrior. What is more remarkable is that women don't get to play on the best of grounds; consequently fast bowlers like jhulan can gather injuries fairly rapidly. It is to her credit and phenomenal grit and dedication that she has lasted this long. To some extent, I am glad that they did not play as much cricket as the men did; it help extend the career she of players like Jhulan; in turn, we the spectators got to enjoy their game a lot more years.
A just tribute.One of the names in women's cricket I have been hearing since long along with Mithali Raj, what makes her unique is she is a fast bowler. It is true that women cricketers play less number of matches than men but that does not take away her ability to keep bowling match after match with the same same intensity. Her figures in the World Cup final was I think 10-3-23-3 which can only be termed phenomenal. At last something about a woman cricketer which I think would evoke some awe in cricket lovers. Thanks Anindya.
An extremely well written article. More importantly and pertinently, an attempt to help the women's cricket game as well by researching about it, writing about it and sharing the knowledge with others. Enjoyed the article and i confess i hardly now 5% od the subject and now feel better and more aware. Kudos
A great read, Anindya. However, I thought the title "The best bowler of 21st century" was a bit over the top. Still I would consider Jhulu as AMONG the top. I specially liked the quotes and stats which illustrate your story.

Mauro Corda
After his overwhelming introduction in 1999, Corda has established his name in the Netherlands with his participation in the Den Haag Sculptuur from 2000-2003 and the Boulevard of Sculptures in Kijkduin in 2002, 2002, and 2003, as well as with his displays at the Realism 04 and 05 art fairs in Amsterdam. Since 1999 Corda has been exclusively represented in the Netherlands by De Twee Pauwen Gallery.
As a sculptor, Mauro Corda (1960) is sensitive to colour. He not only uses the most diverse patinas, but he also applies chrome, silver, gilding and paint to his bronzes. Starting from the same colour sensitivity, Corda has gone on to other materials than bronze. He has cast sculptures in aluminum and iron. And as he regularly spends time in the Italian Pietrasanta, he also works in marble and terra cotta.
It is astonishing to see how this wizard commands the diverse techniques necessary for the varied material applications. But the material experiments lead back to Mauro Corda's central theme: to portray persons in the most diverse roles, environments, and situations. Corda's expressiveness is too strong for just one material. He will redo his bronze bust of an Asian girl in ceramic, because it will let him illuminate aspects of her essence that remain hidden in bronze. A white marble fist, in positive and negative form, has something gentle, while an aluminum male torso takes on an almost divine radiance. Though the always new collection of this extremely productive virtuoso sculptor is already an exciting voyage of discovery, his creative use of material adds a dimension which makes the exhibition doubly worthwhile to visit.

Wheatfield with Crows is one of Van Gogh's most famous paintings. It is often claimed that this was his very last work. The menacing sky, the crows and the dead-end path are said to refer to the end of his life approaching. But that is just a persistent myth. In fact, he made several other works after this one.
Van Gogh did want his wheatfields under stormy skies to express 'sadness, extreme loneliness', but at the same time he wanted to show what he considered 'healthy and fortifying about the countryside'.
Van Gogh used powerful colour combinations in this painting: the blue sky contrasts with the yellow-orange wheat, while the red of the path is intensified by the green bands of grass.
Fine Art/Giclée canvas - it's a top-quality, long-lasting canvas type, used by museums and galleries all around the world.
Most of the local printing companies make canvases without love and use second-grade materials. It's definitely not inspiring and can't go along with the masterpieces of Van Gogh.
It's the opposite of the Fine Art class canvas, for which we only use top-grade material and manufacturer-certified inks (no cheap Chinese substitutes).
Making of Fine Art canvas is a process that requires accuracy, love and patience - therefore, it takes time (up to 1 week).
This canvas type can't stand hurry. That's why we don't accept express orders - quality is more important than quantity for us. You should behave with the Fine Art canvas in the same way as you do with a glass of good, long-matured wine...

Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter announced on Monday that he was dropping the serious charges on two environmental activists who anchored their lobster boat in order to block coal shipments from reaching Brayton Power Plant in Somerset, Massachusetts this May.
As an act of civil disobedience, Jay O'Hara and Ken Ward dropped their 200-pound anchor in front of the area where freighter ships unload coal for the plant. The two immediately notified the authorities of their intentions and told them they would cooperate. The two raised banners on the boat saying "#coalisstupid" and "350" referencing the 350 parts per million concentration level for carbon dioxide that is considered safe in the atmosphere by many scientists. The activists blocked a ship carrying 40,000 tons of coal for a day.
The two planned to argue in court that their actions were necessary in order to combat climate change. What they didn't expect was the prosecutor to announce that their charges would be reduced or dropped because he wanted to address climate change. Jess Bidgood from the New York Times reports:
Sam Sutter, the Bristol County district attorney who dropped the conspiracy charge and downgraded the others to civil infractions, strode out of the Fall River Justice Center clutching an article on climate change written by the environmentalist and author Bill McKibben, who was prepared to testify as an expert witness for the defense. Mr. Sutter told more than 100 climate activists who had gathered outside that he had reached his decision in part because of environmental concerns.
"Climate change is one of the gravest crises our planet has ever faced," Mr. Sutter said. "In my humble opinion, the political leadership on this issue has been sorely lacking."
The two will be required to pay $2,000 apiece in restitution for the act.

Middle East, Asia: protests against racist cartoons need anti-imperialist focus
The publication of racist cartoons, depicting the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, by the Danish paper Jyllands-Posten, sparked a series of protests across the Middle East and into central and south-east Asia.
One cartoon depicts Muhammad wearing a turban, which contains a bomb; another shows Muhammad welcoming a queue of suicide bombers to heaven, but telling them that there are no virgins left. Others depict Muslims as stereotypical terrorists. Accompanying the Danish cartoons was an article by Flemming Rose, Jyllands-Posten's culture editor, claiming, "Modern, secular society is rejected by some Muslims."
Many of these images are racist, an everyday occurrence in the popular media in many western countries. As usual, the publishers' first response to the furore was an old one: "Why can't they take a joke?" Muslims quite naturally reply that anti-semitic jokes are not printed in the western media.
Since the 11th September bombings on the World Trade Centre in New York, in 2001, followed by other terrorist attacks in Bali, Madrid and London, an islamophobic backlash has spread across the western world. Often it bases itself on Samuel Huntingdon's nasty little potboiler, "The Clash of Civilisations".
Though officially rejected by western governments (because they need conservative allies in the Muslim world), the media still churns it out. It emphasises that Islam is "radically" different to the Judaeo-Christian tradition. It is therefore to be differentially feared as a backward, primitive, uncivilised, irrational, and mindlessly violent religion.
Taking advantage of the fear spread by terrorist attacks, it foments hostility to the Muslim community. In its more "liberal" form, it aims to force Muslim communities to adopt western values and denounce extremists and fundamentalists.
Thus, racist cartoons, depicting Muslims and Arabs as a backward people with hate filled expressions on faces, hooked noses and as suicide bombers, are common in the western media. Interestingly, these stereotypes are remarkably similar to pre-1945 anti-semitic cartoons, put out not only by the Nazis, but by nearly all right wing parties.
The editor of Jyllands-Posten justifies the publication of the cartoon by claiming to be re-asserting the right of free speech. The paper has a history of giving an airing to right wing racist views on the same pretext. But, in the recent past, the paper has campaigned to censor an artist who produced an erotic image of Jesus, and had refused to print a cartoon, because the editors said it would provoke an outcry among Christians. So its protest that it only intended to defend democratic rights is totally spurious.
Clearly, what it intended was to provoke was a "Muslim backlash" - angry demonstrations - which would, in turn, confirm their nasty stereotyping. It seems that fundamentalist clerics in Denmark rose to the bait, and set off to the Middle East with copies of the cartoons, even adding a few of their own, in the hope of stimulating a mass revival of fundamantalism.
On 20th October, less than month after publication of the cartoons, ambassadors from 10 Muslim countries complained to the Danish prime minister about the cartoons. On 10th January, a Norwegian newspaper reprinted the cartoons, and by the end of the month, as protest began to spread across the Middle East, newspapers in France, Germany, Italy and Spain also reprinted the cartoons.
So far 12 people have been killed in protests in Afghanistan, and three in Pakistan.
The Danish and Norwegian embassies were torched in Lebanon and Syria. Several hundred Iranians attacked the Danish embassy in Tehran, as Iran announced it was cutting all trade ties with Denmark. Hackers are attacking hundreds of Danish websites, posting messages condemning publication of the images and consumer boycotts of Danish products are taking place right across the Middle East.
What price free speech?
The millionaire media's claim to be defending the right to free speech is bogus. They themselves are very careful to "self-censor" images that might undermine support for the war in Iraq or their troops' morale. We have seen no images of the effects of phosphorus bombs on the civilian population, during the US storming of Fallujah.
When al-Jazeera shows pictures of the bodies of US, British and Danish soldiers, killed in Iraq, the western media itself creates a furore. George Bush even considered "taking out" al-Jazeera's headquarters in Qatar. The US government is so sensitive that it will not even allow the publication of pictures of US soldiers' coffins of being brought back to the States.
In Britain a voluntary code, known as a D-notices, is used to produce the same effect. Such notices censored British newspapers from publishing the name of an MI6 official accused of organising the torture of Pakistani immigrants in Greece last year.
The Terrorism Bill 2006 proposes to outlaw the "glorification" of terrorism, which is so broadly defined that it could make articles, images and placards, supporting violent resistance to any government in the world, a criminal offence. Of course, British foreign policy at any given time will have a decisive say in what is terrorism and what is freedom fighting.
So the picture of a free and fearless western press "telling it like it is" is a total myth.
The media is in the hands of a few vast corporations. In the USA, five - AOL-Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation/Fox empire, Bertelsmann, and Viacom (formerly CBS) - now control most of it. Multibillionaires like Rupert Murdoch dictate the news the American masses receive. In Britain, too, a small number of press and TV barons have a tight grip.
Even the BBC, which did report the majority antiwar sentiment in 2003, was brought to heel over the accusation that Blair and his spin-doctors had "sexed up" the dossier on Iraq, thus paving the way to war. Piers Morgan, the editor of the antiwar Daily Mirror, too, was suckered into printing some fake photographs of British atrocities in Iraq, and dismissed. Now the entire popular media is in hands safely pro-war hands.
Trade unionists, youth, ethnic minorities and immigrants, who resist pro-war or neoliberal policies, are denied access for their views to be published and actively slandered in the "free" capitalist press.
Religion, the state and civil society
The war on terror, conducted mainly against the Arab masses in the Middle East, has encouraged a climate of racism and Islamophobia in which the western press is complicit. This islamophobia is not a matter of criticism of the reactionary and anti-democratic practices of the imams and mullahs, nor for that matter a criticism of Islamic doctrines.
Various reasons are cited as evidence of this: Islam's supposed refusal to recognise a distinction between the religious community (umma) and the state and civil society; Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran's oppression of women; cruel "Islamic punishments" of gays; the reproduction of foul anti-semitic material in many Arab states.
Marxists certainly have no reason to cover up the slightest oppression and cruelty imposed in the name of religion. We defend the equal rights of women, gays, non-Muslims and non-believers. We condemn all forms of anti-semitism as the "anti-imperialism" of fools, playing into the hands of the enemies of the Palestinians.
In every country we oppose religious laws and religious propaganda in state schools. Religion should be a matter strictly for believers, i.e. for adult, voluntary members of the mosques, churches, synagogues or temples. If they, as individuals, wish to submit themselves to the shariah, the torah or canon law, that is their own concern. But ancient religious codes originating long before the democratic and social rights, won over the last three centuries, can only have a reactionary effect when applied to modern society.
Freedom to criticise religion in the press, in the media, on the streets should be protected. No laws should be passed banning abuse of religion or giving offence to believers. Those, who are criticised, cannot set themselves up as the judges of what is permitted. Of course they too have the right to protest - i.e. they too must have freedom of expression.
Thus, whilst the Danish cartoons were certainly Islamophobic and racist, we cannot and should not call on any state to ban them. The capitalist class will use this power first and foremost to ban the expression of views hostile to their system. We are, instead, in favour of direct action by the exploited and oppressed to stop incitement to race hatred and attacks.
Thus, Tony Blair's repeated attempts to get a law passed, which makes "incitement to religious hatred" a crime, must be resisted. In Britain, Respect's support for this call is a scandal, another wretched attempt to win Muslim votes by trading principles.
We are, of course, opposed to deliberately offending the beliefs of religious people, because we know that "religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions" (Marx). But the most effective way to fight against religion's reactionary effects in society is to fight against the exploitation and oppression that make religion "necessary" - and that means defending our democratic rights against religious institutions attempting to limit or abolish them.
Workers' control
If there had been revolutionary printers at Jyllands-Posten or the other European papers reproducing the cartoons, they would have argued for the workers to stop the publication of such racist, inflammatory material. If the damage was already done they would have demanded that the paper give equal and prominent space to Muslims to explain their outrage and their experience as victims if islamophobia, and for antiracists, too, to record their views.
There is a tradition of such action in the workers' movement. In the miners' strike in Britain in 1984, the Sun was forced to publish an edition of its paper with a blank front page, because workers refused to print a slanderous front-page editorial attacking the miners.
This sort of action could have been possible even on a right wing rag like, Jyllands-Posten, where the editorial staff have since claimed that they felt uneasy about the publication of the cartoons.
But what is confounding many in the West is the size and scale of the reaction across the Middle East. How can a few cartoons provoke such reactions? A campaign is underway to lay the blame at the door of Islamic fundamentalists, for stoking up the outrage.
While it is true that reactionary fundamentalist clerics are undoubtedly making the most of the situation, it is imperialism and its Zionist ally in the region that are the real cause of the anger. The targets of the demonstrations are misplaced. The crimes and outrages really worthy of protest are those committed against real living Iraqis and Palestinians. It is the outrages in Gaza, Guantanamo Bay and Fallujah that should provoke demonstrations.

The result is a pretty edgy, but awesome manicure. When I was wearing this I kept looking at my nails, because it really felt like I had claws!
As you can see in the screenshot I linked earlier, Evanora doesn't seem to have a base colour on her nails and her nail line is visible. I didn't like that all too much which is why I used a nude base. I used two coats of Essence Cookies & Cream for this with a fast drying top coat. After that was dry, I taped off the sides of my nails to create the claw shape, and went over it with a coat of Essence Black Is Back, a simple black creme.
And, instead of two gold lines on each side of the claws, I decided to go with one gold line in the middle. I used gold striping tape that I got off eBay, but as you can see in the pictures it started curling up just minutes after I applied it, which was quite a shame. I do like the end result, though, and I love seeing all the different variations people are coming up with.
What do you think of this 'claw' look?

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Common practice, or corrupt? That's the fiery debate tonight in the wake of a Unified Government report on shift trading in the Kansas City, Kansas Fire Department.
A new audit of the KCK Fire Department reveals some firefighters being paid for shifts they didn't actually work.
Trading time is a legitimate practice in most fire departments across the country, including KCK. It is allowed under the contract between the Firefighter's Union and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County.
This report calls out over two dozen firefighters for abuse of the practice.
According to the KCK firefighter contract, employees can trade up to 24 shifts a year. The idea is that if a firefighter "trades" with a co-worker, the person initiating the trade will still be paid for the day they took off, but will work for the person who worked for them at a future date. So it all evens out.
The Unified Government report claims that only 6 out of 391 firefighters "traded" an equal number of hours, resulting in those firefighters being paid for time they did not work.
The report calls out 5 firefighters who the authors of the report say were paid for time they did not work, and lists the top 25 time traders, or as report authors call them, "sellers."
Mayor Mark Holland was not available for an interview, but sent this statement:
"This report reveals widespread corruption in our fire department and the taxpayers need to be made aware of it. The safety of our firefighters and our public has been compromised. Individuals have done this for their own financial gain. That is the definition of corruption."
Wednesday morning, KCK firefighters blared their sirens and horns during a live broadcast in what appeared to be an attempt to interrupt FOX 4's Matt Stewart as he reported on the allegations.
What is not included in the report are details behind the pay and trades.
According to the contract, firefighters may trade more than 24 shifts for union business or fire-related education.
For instance, Bob Wing is at the top of the list, having traded away all of his shifts and paid over $64,000 for not working.
Wing is the business manager of the local fire union and president of the state fire union, so he is allowed to trade away all of his shifts, but he is responsible for either covering future shifts, or paying the firefighter for the work, and must issue 1099 forms for any compensation.
Wing is out of town on union business, but gave this statement over the phone.
"The fact of the matter is the report is not factual. Trading time in the KCK Fire Department does not cost tax payers one dollar and there is no corruption as indicated by Mayor Mark Holland."
Mayor Holland has called for a special commissioner's meeting Thursday night, where he will present this report.
Sources say several of the commissioners have conflicts and will not be attending the meeting, and there may not be enough who show up to do business. Mayor Holland also plans on proposing a new ordinance relating to compensation of Unified Government employees.

As we transition to 2018, retail marketers are taking stock of the past year and preparing for what's ahead. The retail apocalypse that was forecast back in the spring is either overblown, just beginning or…nobody really knows.
So what steps can retailers take right now not just to survive in 2018, but to thrive?
1. Put Digital Front and Centre
Your digital and mobile identity are now (or should be) integral to your brand.
A customer's smartphone is also the key to customer identification and personalization of the in-store shopping experience." More than ever, today's retailers can't afford to sit on the sidelines and ignore the mobile app lifecycle.
2. Engage Shoppers with Better Context and Personalisation
Expansion of mobile capabilities represents a huge customer engagement opportunity for retailers. Adding location-aware marketing automation or analytics to an existing app (or integrating them from the start) is one of the best ways to expand engagement opportunities.
With a mobile app and location-based technologies, retailers can:
Personalise the in-store experience and give customers the VIP treatment
Engage shoppers with strong offers in real time based on who and where they are
Guide shoppers through stores with an indoor GPS-like experience
Target shoppers with messages delivered in the relevant context of their daily lives—even at a competitor's door
Leverage location data to build more granular customer profiles and target or segment ads more effectively.
3. Use Mobile to Improve Efficiency and Empower Store Staff
Shopper engagement isn't the only way mobile can help retailers compete. Mobile technology can help retail staff work more efficiently and get products in customers' hands with the least amount of labor.
For example, some stores are testing location tech to speed restocking. Mobile indoor mapping and navigation can guide employees on the most efficient route to the proper location for restocking each item. This solution is particularly useful for seasonal workers who are not as familiar with store layouts and where products belong on store shelves and racks.
Mobile can function as both a customer experience tool and a multifaceted business solution. Exciting times, to be sure!

Quotes about Art
This file was prepared by Max Darby in January 2010.
Everyone seems to have an opinion about what Art is or about the nature of experience in the Arts. Some of the following quotes have been the focus of interesting and animated round table discussions with my students. There are many activities that can be derived from such simple beginnings.
Dancer Isadora Duncan, when asked about how she felt when she danced, once said "If I could tell you what I feel I wouldn't need to dance." That attitude has been picked up in some of the opinions about the Visual Arts below (please send me any additional opinions you find).
Art, like life itself, need not be defined or understood to be enjoyed. It must simply be experienced
Duane and Sarah Preble
Art, the production or expression of what is beautiful or visually attractive; the skill or work of humans.
Macquarie Dictionary
…art is something we do intentionally…things humans make or do.
Richard Wollheim
The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
Oscar Wilde
To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced, and having evoked it in oneself, then, by means of movements, lines or colours, sounds or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling that others may experience the same feeling – this is the activity of art.
Leo Tolstoy
…Art exists because the ideas special to it cannot be transmitted otherwise…
Vernon Blake
Art, however we define it, is present in everything we make to please our senses
Herbert Read
Art isn't everything. It's about everything.
Gertrude Stein
A work of art is an expressive form created for our perception through sense or imagination, and what it expresses is human feeling.
Suzanne Langer
…the explanation of art as essentially an imitation of aspects of the universe…was probably the most primitive aesthetic theory.
M.H. Abrams
Art is human emotion expressed in terms of a medium.
Graham Hopwood
…the art product is unlike other created objects because it is primarily for aesthetic experience.
Kenneth Lansing
Art is anything you can get away with.
Marshall McLuhan
You put a tree on the left side and one on the right side, a mountain in the middle and a lake at the front with ducks on it and half of the sun setting behind the mountain. That's Art!
Lucy (Charlie Brown comics)
Art is the personal, skilful and aesthetic expression of an idea or feeling made in an art form.
Max Darby
Then there is that well-known saying which stresses the right of everyone to have an opinion (I have no idea where it came from) "I know nothing about Art, but I know what I like."
How sad if they knew nothing about Art and also didn't even know what they liked?

Common Garage Door Mistakes That You Must Avoid

The garage is one of the most important aspects of a house. Its value boosts up if your vehicle is an expensive one, because you wouldn't want it parked in a rather untidy and unsafe place. On the other hand, burglars consider the garage door as a perfect place to break in. Because of all these reasons, the quality and… Read more »

It has been a thoroughly miserable week for me. Ever since I returned from holiday a couple of weeks ago, I've prayed that whatever illness had been ailing my youngest son Daniel wasn't going to get me too. But by Tuesday afternoon, I knew I'd succumbed. Flu. Not "man flu", but the real thing. Burning-up, delerious, aching joints, sensitive skin, headache, nausea, you name it, I've had it. I wish I could say it is all now a hazy memory, but I can't - almost every hour of the past 5 days has been a waking (or at best semi-conscious) hour. Brief moments of meaningless, dream-filled sleep grabbed wherever and whenever possible, interspersed by hour after hour of tossing and turning, coughing and spluttering. Hot lemon, paracetamol and ibuprofen have all featured heavily on the menu, whilst any food I've managed to force down has been out of necessity, rather than enjoyment. I hesitate to say it, but I think I might just be over the worst of it now, although the constant bouts of coughing and sneezing are beginning to drive me to distraction - another sleepless night beckons, I fear.
Needless to say, wine has hardly been high on my list of priorities during this time, although I did manage a glass or two on Thursday evening - but mainly for some perceived "medicinal" purpose, and because TLD had opened a couple of bottles during the week. I can't say that the wine helped make me feel any better (indeed, it probably put paid completely to any chance I had of achieving quality sleep) but it made me feel a bit more normal for a while. It wasn't the good stuff, of course - but it was pretty decent for what it was................
Every other Wednesday, just as I'm off to the Wine Circle, TLD always asks me the same question - "Have you got a bottle of wine I can open?" That is because every other Wednesday, her parents visit for dinner. And it always pains me to think that - because I only tend to keep "good" wine in the house - one of those good bottles is being opened, when an "everyday" one would do. I know it may sound awfully snobby, but to some people, wine is simply another beverage, and my In-Laws neither appreciate (nor care) whether a wine they are drinking cost £50 or £3.
So whilst were were in France recently, I scoured the shelves of a couple of branches of Intermarche (one in Pézenas and one somewhere near Rouen) for some "bargain basement" wines, to be used for just such occasions. That's not to say I was interested in any old crap - I see little point in shelling out 2 or 3 Euros per bottle on wine that I know will give no pleasure at all. At least, that was the theory. Let's just say that I expect less from the wines at the 2 Euro level than I do of the 3-4 Euro level. We bought a couple of dozen bottles - mostly reds, but with a few whites and a couple of rosés thrown-in for good measure. And for purely research purposes, I intend to at least grab a half-glass of a some of those wines and report back over the coming months. Who knows, if any of you are planning a holiday in France this year, it may give you a few pointers for "emergency" wines, for when you can't get to visit a grower or two. So here are a couple to be going on with;
A mass-produced negociant wine (I can't be bothered to do the detective work from the minimal information on the label) which does not even show a vintage - possibly a blend of 2009 and 2010? At under 2 Euros a bottle, one has no right to expect any regional or varietal character, but if somebody gave me a glass of this and told me it was Saint-Chinian, I would not disbelieve them. OK, so it has a certain "generic" Languedoc quality about it (carbonic maceration has the effect of masking any perception of terroir) but it has enough fruit, spice and herb quality about it to make it a rather drinkable everyday wine, with enough guts to stand-up to a pizza or some toulouse sausages and pasta with a tomato sauce. A bit of a drink-me-now bargain.
Expert Club "Les Petites Baies" 2009 Minervois
Again, this could certainly pass as Minervois, and indeed does show a little more "terroir", insofar as it has an earthiness, married to some quite rich, brambly fruit, a touch of the garrigue, a bit of concentration and a touch of warming eau de vie. Yes, it is a bit rustic, but in a Minervois sort of way, and really rather enjoyable. It is another wine to drink young, but another relative bargain at (if my memory serves) a shade under 3 Euros.
Right, now for another attempt at sleep................

Today's post expands on Things to Know (Part 1) where I list 3 things for Christians to know, for success in this life. Here are a few other things to know:
4. God's ability is in you. This ability enables you to fulfill the Great Commission of reaching those God is directing you to-your part in reaching the world. By having God in you you have His life, nature, and ability working on your behalf. That's a strength, a meekness. Meekness can be defined as "controlled strength". God's your ability and strength. Meekness over weakness.
5. You can do whatever God tells you to do in His Word. Philippians 4:13 reads, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth (strengthens) me." Not in your own strength, ability, or wisdom, but through Christ.
6. God will supply everything you need to be a success in this life. He supplies the tools you need to get the job done, then helps you do the "digging." Where God guides He provides.
These things to know are simple, basic, foundational truths thoroughly established on God's written Word. Together with my last post they'll help you to succeed in this life.
How many of these 6 things to know are you already practicing? How many are new? Which one)s) would you like further explanation, simplification, or clarification?

I have tried hundreds of brands of shoes in my life and have found these to be the most comfortable!
They are well made and durable. This is my second pair and I really put them to the test as a securtiy guard in a large plant requiring travel over many different and rough terrain, cement floors , multiple staircases, yet they have lasted me over 18 months.

Just to the left of St. Paul's tower is New York Law School. Nowadays it is located in Tribeca.
"New York Law School was established in 1891 by Columbia College School of Law faculty, students, and alumni who were protesting their trustees' attempts to dictate the teaching methods used by professors. The central figure in the revolt against Columbia and the subsequent creation of New York Law School was Columbia Law School's founder, Theodore Dwight, a major figure in the history of American legal scholarship and education."
Is that Vito Corleone running across the rooftop?
There are a couple of dudes on stages painting "The Even ... " high up the side of the building beside the Roebuck's. A newspaper perhaps? The Evening World?

As an influential blogger and a responsible citizen, I request you to give 2 mins for a good cause. Being a Mumbaikar, it always concerns you and me, whether this beautiful city is safe for our women, children and elder citizens. Everytime a tragedy like 26/11 occurs, our confidence is shattered and the law and order is questioned. Who is responsible for this ignorance, we the unaware citizens or the leaders of this country?
We come up with different, innovative ideas on how the law and order situation can be changed and made better. But are our concerns being heard in the Parliament? If not, how do we get our leaders to pay heed to our concerns? We have the rights to protect this city and work towards its progress for sure, but how do we actually do it? This is where the Praja Foundation comes in.
Praja Foundation has taken the initiative to develop a communication between citizens and their leaders. By signing a petition, not only will you be asking the right questions to your leaders, but also help raise concerns in Parliament.
As a Mumbaikar, we urge you to help us spread the word for this good cause, through blogging, tweeting and other means of communication. Your word will be of great help to make this initiative a success and avoid tragedies that cost the city many innocent lives. After all, an aware Mumbai is a safe Mumbai.
You can find more details on www.praja.org.

Oct. 24, 2016
I had an idea I'd like to share. While cleaning my apartment, while watching my vacuum struggle with the carpeted stairs, I couldn't help but curse at my younger self for not planning ahead and buying the better model vacuum. However, why would I have? I was young, struggling with the new expenses of living on my own and my original apartment was all hardwood.
You read so many articles on the web: "Things I wish I knew in my 20's", "Things I never thought I'd say in my 30's", etc. The one thing I'd like to say to my younger self is:
"Think hard about what you buy, because you'll be using it much longer than you think."
As I look back on my purchases, I can clearly pick out the winners and losers. My kitchen knives, where I sprung for fewer knives, but higher grade steel, have served me well and since my knife block came with extra slots I have since filled in my collection. My laptops on the other hand have quickly showed their age. What I wouldn't give for them to be upgradable, so I could just add in a graphics card and be able to play the latest games.
I also see that dilemma at Westmount. Many people coming in are unhappy with their current setup, but are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Many times they have either displays they got for free from their vendors or they have custom built displays that they invested heavily in. However, with the ever rising rent and competition, making the most of your space becomes more and more important. However, these specialty displays are inflexible, and are often fixed in place and don't fit new products.
This is the problem we don't see to begin with. In business school, they call it sunk cost. So for example, take my car. When I bought my car, I didn't go with the leather seats. So now, if I want leather seats, I need to spend another $30-$40K on a new car with leather seats, but it doesn't add up. I already have a car so in essence I'm paying $30-40k for leather seats. Which sound ridiculous and it is. So that's what a lot of customers get stuck with. They already have shelves, so they are only gaining 20% more for the cost of new shelving. But then how much is that 20% costing? I certainly could have done more with the extra time I spent vacuuming this weekend. Maybe I could have had time to make cupcakes for my Halloween party. For store owners, that 20% extra, could be the difference between making rent and making profit.
In engineering, they have a term called DFX, which stands for design for X. Many people look at things and go why would you do that? But it's usually, designed for something different. How many times has something broken, but you couldn't get it apart to fix it without breaking it further. This is likely because it was designed for cost and assembly. It's fast and easy to assemble and quickly snaps together. No thought was given to disassembly. How many times have you heard stories of auto mechanics charging hundreds in labour to fix a 50 cent light bulb buried in the car console? It's because it was designed for style, not designed for repair.
So I propose the following idea: DFF, Design For the Future. This can mean a number of things including: upgradability, versatility and durability. My darn vacuum is durable and I probably have enough replacement bags to pass them down to my grandchildren, but it's neither upgradable nor versatile enough to really handle carpet. My kitchen knife set on the other hand is super versatile and durable and with the upgrade of adding a sharpening steel there isn't a recipe I'm afraid to tackle. The same goes for shelving. I know that as a start-up, everything is (and probably should be) bootstrap (i.e. you use what you have) but unless you add a little DFF you limit the amount you can sell and grow.
In terms of shelving, from what I've seen, modular systems can cost a bit more, but the boost to upgradability and versatility is huge. Adjustable shelves mean you can add and subtract as your product mix changes, while minimizing wasted space. The other advantage is that with standard style shelving there are more merchandising options available to you. Meaning it grows with you. So a shelf might be all you need to start with, but you will quickly find that ticket moulding saves those valuable minutes while merchandising and once you grow to a multi-location empire having that clean, consistent, recognizable brand image is what sets you apart from the competition. At that point you will pat yourself on the back for DFF and planning ahead and not being stuck in an out-of-date style that you need to spend a fortune to change.
Anyways, I hope some young whipper snapper finds wisdom in my words and takes those extra few seconds to DFF and makes an investment that pays out big time. Thanks for reading.

Hello! Hope you had a good weekend. It was Nuit Blanche this past Saturday night so I decided to go for a stroll to check out some of the art installations. I ended up getting caught up in wondering around downtown and taking a few pics. It has been a few years since I've participated in Nuit Blanche and it has gotten very busy! There were long line ups for many art exhibits and Queen St was packed. However, it was still neat to check out the artwork at night, even if it was cold and windy.
Happy Monday! Wishing you a good week.

Here's What a Huge Hedge Fund Is Buying
Every quarter, fund managers have to disclose what they've bought and sold. Their latest moves can shine a bright light on smart stock picks.
Today let's look at SAC Capital Advisors, run by Steven Cohen. SAC is one of the biggest hedge funds around, with a stock portfolio totaling close to $16 billion in value as of Dec. 31, 2011. A fund doesn't easily grow that large without performing well, and indeed, Cohen has reportedly averaged returns of roughly 30% annually over two decades.
The fund's top holdings as of Dec. 31 were Apple, Weatherford International, and Gilead Sciences. Together they represent just 4.9% of the overall portfolio, though, since SAC encompasses nearly 1,900 holdings.
Interesting developments
So what does SAC Capital's latest quarterly 13F filing tell us? Here are a few interesting details:
New holdings include Aeterna Zentaris (NAS: AEZS) , which has many hopeful about the cancer drug perifosine that it's working on with Keryx Biopharmaceuticals. Phase 3 results for its use against colon cancer are due very soon, with results against blood cancer coming later. Shares have been rather volatile lately, and poor test results will knock them down, but the company has more potential in its pipeline, too.
SAC upped its stake in lots of companies, such as Chimera Investment (NYS: CIM) . The mortgage REIT has drawn much interest with its dividend yield recently near 15%. But it's not without risk. In fact, Chimera has invested in riskier (and higher-yielding) assets than many of its peers, while taking on less debt than they do. For those who handle risk, Chimera is positioned to take advantage of opportunities out there, such as those brought on by trouble in Europe.
Among the many companies in which SAC reduced its stake are Sirius XM Radio (NAS: SIRI) and Corning (NYS: GLW) . Sirius has seen its revenue growth slow, but its profitability and cash flow have been growing well, and it sports a subscribership well above 20 million. Some think that a deep-pocketed tech company will buy Sirius, but my colleague Rick Munarriz doubts that. While SAC unloaded shares of Corning, many viewed them as bargains. The innovative company has a solid balance sheet and a very successful product in its Gorilla Glass, found in many devices such as smartphones and tablets. Bears worry about competition, though, as well as the low-profit LCD screen business.
Finally, SAC unloaded plenty of companies completely, such as InterDigital (NAS: IDCC) . The company may have decided not to put itself on the block, but it does seem poised to sell off some of its valuable patents. That can generate some much-needed cash for the company, but it's not a great long-term business model.
We should never blindly copy any investor's moves, no matter how talented he or she may be. But it can be useful to keep an eye on what smart folks are doing. 13F forms can be great places to find intriguing candidates for our portfolios.

Long Islanders reported an unusually high number of tick bites last year. Many pet owners noticed a marked increase in fleas and ticks on their cats and dogs. According to Cornell University, the rise was due to a long winter- snowfall insulates the overwintering ticks.
(Long winter… that sounds familiar- oh right it just snowed last week!)
Unfortunately, this season may be more of the same.
Unfortunately, this season may be more of the same.
Deer ticks are always a concern since they pass along Lyme disease to pets and humans, however 2014 brought concern about another species: The Lone Star tick. Originating from the southern states, it's population surged last year on Long Island- leaving some victims with an allergy to red meat.
Long Island veterinarians noticed the high amount of bites in 2014 and urged pet owners to "take the offensive" against ticks and fleas. However, the solution many of them offer is often toxic itself. Most flea-collars and dips use active ingredients that we wouldn't dare to use based on the toxicology reports.
Please don't "rescue" your pets with harmful chemicals, we have an organic solution for that!
Prepare to protect your pets this season, find out more about our organic tick & flea treatments.

This Valentine's Day it's time to put down that romance novel and step into a murder mystery. Work together with friends both old and new to solve (or get away with) "The Case of the Missing Matchmaker". Couples, individuals and groups of friends are all encouraged to come and take part in this interactive thriller.
Tickets $25 available at the Strathcona Hotel front desk
Ticket price includes appies
Arrive at 6:30 – Event starts at 7 in the Maple Room above the Sticky Wicket
email email@example.com for any additional information.
Case Notes:
Darlene Hickle has gone missing. The fact that she rarely listened to what anyone told her did nothing to improve her matchmaking business. Her success at mis-matching people reached its greatest height when her computer database crashed. Darlene saw no need to tell anyone of this. Instead she randomly matched couples based on a printout she had of their names and addresses. And now – it has been discovered that she has mysteriously disappeared. She had her company insured and the insurance company has sent Eileen Evensong – a private eye – to investigate

Irby family still busy and doing fine! Josh is trying hard to finish his book on Miss Irby's life in the next couple of weeks. The kids are still enjoying vrtic although sometimes they ask to go back to their old vrtic and often they ask if they can just stay home with a sitter! But the vrtic is really good for them and they are already making friends.
Sarajevo is once again covered in snow and it's just really beautiful. The snow is powdery so there is not much ice, which is a good thing. Not a lot of slipping around!
Has anyone started a gift list? I got to 100 the other day. Here are some things from my list yesterday:
...Josh made dinner last night
...My mom read a book to the kids that her mom read to her when she was little over skype (gotta love technology)
...the way the snow falls so delicately from the sky
...a city covered in a blanket of snow
Life is more colorful and you live more awake when counting the gifts God has given. I always remember my Nannie (who is now 100 and still fully alive and well!) "Count your blessings count them one by one, count your blessings see what God has done!"
