With tax time just around the corner, its important for property investors to claim all the relevant deductions available to them. Most commonly, depreciation is the deduction that is missed because it is a non-cash deduction.
The ATO allows property investors to claim a deduction back at tax time to compensate for an investment property ageing and therefore depreciating in value. Research indicates that a high percentage of property investors don't claim depreciation, not realising that they can. Every owner of an investment property, whether it be new or old, residential or commercial should be claiming their maximum depreciation entitlements.
Again, the key for investors is to obtain professional advice. There are Quantity Surveyors that specialise in preparing Capital Allowance and Tax Depreciation Reports for investors, which outline deductions available each financial year for periods of up to 40 years. These reports essentially demonstrate how much your taxable income will be lowered each year by claiming depreciation. A report can also be prepared to easily recover missed depreciation benefits by amending tax returns previously lodged with the ATO.
Put simply, obtaining a property depreciation report from a specialist Quantity Surveyor is critical to ensure you are claiming all of the items you are entitled to, and also not claiming anything that you shouldn't be.

How to workout: Your exercise plan.
In the first two lessons of this course, we talked exclusively about nutrition: 5 strategic rules, along with some real meals you can eat to start getting in shape right away.
In today's lesson, we're going to cover how to exercise. Because if you want to look and feel your best, this is critical.
Lots of people make mistakes here, but the truth is there are just a few simple principles to understand — and in today's lesson, I'll tell you exactly what they are.
It doesn't matter whether you want to:
• Lose 5kg
• Lose 10kg
• Or even 15kg.
Exercise is the common denominator.
But here's the thing. Just like with nutrition, so much is written about exercise that it can seem like you're doomed without the perfect program. Well that's just more nonsense I'm sick of hearing.
Having personally coached hundreds of clients, and having spent years researching and testing the best ways to transform your body, I can tell you this. Fat loss comes from doing just a few simple things. And my goal today: teach you what they are. So that you can start doing them right away.
The first thing you need to know about exercising to lose fat? You need to do something, and you need to do it now. Simply put, you need to get moving.
Now I bet you're wondering: "what kind of exercise is best?" Well, when exercising to lose fat, there are two specific goals.
The first is to burn calories. And the simplest way to do that? Aerobic exercise – like walking, jogging, climbing stairs, or riding a bike. But here's the thing: if you only do aerobic exercise, you may also lose lean mass. That's a problem because it'll lower your metabolism.
But more to the point, with aerobic exercise alone, you probably won't end up looking as good as you can – as fast as you can.
So you'll also need to do some exercise that shapes your muscles, to stay strong, look good, keep your metabolism high and burn fat faster. And that means resistance exercise – like free weights, body weight training, circuit training, or group fitness classes.
In the end, if you wanna lose the most fat and look your best, you have to do some calorie-burning exercise and some body-shaping exercise.
So now that we know what kind of exercise to do, let's talk about how much. I'm going to give you a really simple answer here: 5 hours a week.
Now, some clients come to us doing almost 5 hours per week already. So, if they're close to the magic 5 hour number, we just ask them to pump up the volume a little, or maybe change the kind of exercise they're doing.
But, the truth is, other clients come to us doing a lot less. Sometimes no exercise at all. So, what do we do with them?
Well, let me first tell you what we don't do. We don't ask them to jump to 5 hours right away. Because, for most people, that's too much. Instead, we ease them into it, asking them to do just a little more than they're currently doing.
Not only is that easier for them – it's the right thing to do. In fact, it's the only thing to do. This expectation that people can make massive, instant changes to their lives — and make them last — is the biggest reason people fail to lose fat and keep it off. (But we'll talk more about that later in the course.)
If you're doing nothing right now, just focus on moving a little more and exercising an hour or two each week. And if you're doing more exercise than that already, just gradually increase your volume until you reach five hours each week. And make sure you're doing both calorie burning exercise (like walking) and body shaping exercise (like training with free weights or group exercise circuits)
At this point, I want to share with you the single most important thing you will ever learn about exercise for fat loss: it's a concept called "Progressive Overload." In plain English, it means: consistently challenging yourself to do a little more, or a little better.
For example, let's say yesterday you went for a 10 minute walk. Well, then today; go for 11 minutes. If in your last workout you lifted 40kg, then today; lift 45kg.
That's progressive overload. Every time you do physical activity, you write down what you did, and the next time, you do more, or do better, even in the smallest ways. It's a really powerful – and unbelievably easy – technique.
Here's a recap of the simple keys to exercising properly:
Start now. Get moving; do some exercise and do it right away.
Mix it up. Mix calorie-burning exercise ("cardio") with muscle-preserving exercise (weight training).
Get to 5 hours (slowly). Gradually work your way up to 5 hours of total exercise per week.
Progressive overload. Track what you do, and challenge yourself to do a little more, or a little better, each time."
As long as you do those 4 things, you'll lose fat quickly and for good. You'll even build some strength too.
Your workout program.
I have shared a number of different calorie-burning exercise ("cardio") programs so you can get started right away. Check out the sidebar on the right for download.
We will teach you everything you need to know regarding muscle-preserving exercise (weight training) during your SoulTrain workouts in the gymnasium.
Remember get moving straight away; pick one of the supplied cardio programs and do it right away.
Today's Resources
In today's lesson, I outline a number of great cardio-based interval style programs, so you can start torching body fat straight away.

MAHWAH, N.J. – Those involved with the Mahwah Schools Foundation will witness their fundraising efforts come full circle Sunday during the awards ceremony for the 18th Annual Thunderbird Run.
The foundation – which gives grants to Mahwah schools for programs and items that may not otherwise be included in the budget – awarded a grant to Mahwah High School for drones.
Students are trained to fly the drones, use them to take aerial footage, and process the footage afterwards, said Jamie Brisby, chair of the Thunderbird Run.
Sunday, the drones will be used to take photographs of the race being held to raise money for the foundation, then to fly down medals during the awards ceremony, she said.
"From raising money, to a teacher putting in a grant for drones, to now the drowns helping us on our event to raise money again, it is kind of nice to see it all come together," Brisby said.
Brisby expects hundreds of people to participate in Sunday's activities, which include a 5K run, 10K run and kid run.
The event was last held in 2014 in Darlington County Park, she said. This year, it will start and end at the high school.
Brisby said the run is bringing the community together.
"It is really pulling a lot of people together in our community because they know how important this is for the schools," she said. "They have seen the programs in action from grants that have been received, so they know how important it is to be able to raise money for them."
Besides the drones, the Mahwah Schools Foundation has awarded grants for things like author visits, whiteboards, a biosphere outdoor greenhouse at the high school, and funding for a robotics club, Brisby said.
And through a recently approved grant, the foundation will soon be bringing mindful practices to all grade levels – to help students with things like self-awareness, social awareness and self-regulation, she said.
The Thunderbird Run will take place Sunday, April 23, at Mahwah High School, 50 Ridge Road in Mahwah. The 10K run starts at 8:30 a.m., the 5K run starts at 10:30 a.m. and the kid run starts at 12 p.m.
Those wishing to participate who have not yet registered, may do so on race day. To learn more, visit the run's website HERE or Faceook page HERE .

Refinancing our loan with US Wide Financial was super easy. The closing was fast and easy. We got a great rate and they listened to my needs and got me the loan that is going to save me money down the road. I would recommend anyone to US Wide Financial.
My wife and I would like to thank you for all of your help with our home refinance. We appreciate your professionalism and quick responses to our questions and requests for information. Originally, we attempted to do business with a well-known local mortgage broker whose owner/co-founder was at one time president of the St Louis mortgage brokers association and on the ethics committee. After two of his associates tried to raise our personally quoted rates once we told them to lock-in the rate (rates were falling), we thankfully found you and US WIDE FINANCIAL. You assured us there would be no unpleasant surprises, hidden fees, or costs other than what we agreed to initially. As you know we closed yesterday and everything promised was delivered. The only surprise was that our prepaid costs were less than expected. The professionalism, integrity, and competence of your company even extends to the companies it chooses to do business with including the appraiser and notary/closer. Both Justin Lewis of River City Appraisal Service and Peter Aftayev of Heritage Notary Service were true pros, courteous, and respectful in our home. We would absolutely do business with you again and recommend you and US WIDE FINANCIAL to all of our friends, relatives, and anyone else in need of mortgage services
Vibhu Grover did an excellent job as my mortgage broker. He paid attention to the details and stayed in constant communication with me. For example, he called me to follow up to verify that my appraiser had called to schedule an appointment. When he found that no time had been established, Vibhu immediately contacted the appraiser. Needless to say, the appraiser called me the next day to schedule the appointment. Because of Vibhu's efforts, my loan closed within two weeks which not only saved me money, but also saved me from the typical hassle that refinancing can bring. Thanks Vibhu, I look forward to working with you again.
I had a wonderful experience working with you guys on refinancing my loan. You guys gave me a great rate, the lowest I could find at the time, but it was the quality of service that made you guys stand out. I really appreciated how well your team communicated with me. If I had a question, I was able to get in contact with you guys and get a quick and clear response. I liked how your team was able to explain the entire process and went out of there way to make sure I understood every piece of paper I had to sign. There was also an unusual amount of flexibility when working with you team. You guys came to my work and home if you needed papers signed. That was the type of flexibility I needed with my busy schedule. I usually have high expectations and your team exceeded those expectations by far. Looking forward to refinancing with you guys in the future
It is a pleasure to write a recommendation for Grover. We found him to be a pleasant, generous person who was fair and honest. Grover worked diligently to complete the transaction of refinancing our home. The entire process took a matter of a few weeks, with absolutely no inconvenience to us. All appointments were made after our working hours, and all parties were willing to meet at our home. We are very pleased with the results.

This blog was requested on my similar blog for RWBY characters. Each character gets four weapon "types," for the four quick select slots. Said weapon types will be based on their normal weapons and fighting styles. I might also give them a heavy weapon if It's fitting enough. Since lower tier version are made completely redundant once yoiu get the newer/better version, I'll assume they're using the best available.
I'm also giving them a fitting robot companion. For rather significant reasons, none of the Chariot line units are available. I probably will give machine companions to characters before I assign them weapons. I was going to try to achieve balance, but I may have to throw that out for personality.

For the sake of a reference point, I've compiled a list of questions and answers from the anniversary AMA. These are the questions I could find relating to behind-the-scenes work and plot details, with minimal editing.
Q: When you set out to tell the story of Horizon, Zero Dawn, what was your mission or end-goal for the players to take away from it, to know that you could say that "We delivered this message to everyone?"
A: This is a cool question. HZD gave us an amazing opportunity to make the game we wanted, and PlayStation was always supportive. In addition to making it a kick-ass story about machines and tribes and epic threats to the world, we wanted it to be personal. We wanted it to be about bonds of love that cross generations, ties …

I think we can all agree a sequel is inevitable (unless the Netherlands get nuked or something). Here, I wanted to discuss what I want to see in the sequel. However, I wanted to discuss the things that are less common among the fandom. I won't be talking about better facial animations or improved human combat: that's said way too often already.
So here we go:
- 'Scale Up the World': As most of us know, Guerrilla Games chose to make the world a scaled-down version of the real world, approximately 100:1, for the sake of providing dense combat. While I appreciate this approach, I feel that they went too far in this direction: the geography feels far too scaled down, and the biome transitions are a bit too sharp for my taste. Overall, the small siz…

I just edited part of this into the Sundom page but since theres quite a bit of speculation in it, I thought it would be good to discuss with others. Here is what I think:

Since the game reverts back to before the final battle, after you finish said battle, we can't be 100% certain that all of the Shadow Carja territory reverts back to the Carja. If it does then the Sundom appears to end at Daybrink and Valley of Omens in the west, Sunfall in the northwest, and possibly Unflinching Watch in the north. If it does not then the Sundom appears to end at Daybrink in the northwest a…Read more >

Hey guys, I was thinking of making separate pages for each of the Hunting Grounds Keepers but I noticed that for all the Hunting Grounds, the Keepers were the chosen image for that page.

Of course, any suggestions youse think would be better I'm open to or if youse don't want to put in separate Keepers pages, up to youse.

Rookie question I think but I was just wondering how youse are getting the images/icons for resources without the little number in the corners? Just doing some of the resources pages, I noticed some don't have images in the site's database so I was going to get them myself but couldn't figure out how to get them other than snapshotting in-game (which would mean there's an attached number). Thank you :)Read more >
Hello! I noticed that there aren't any pages for the medicinal resources such as Salvebrush and such.

General categorization (Each Topic) + Subcategorization = Ease of Use?
General categorization is useful as the group all the relevant subject into one, it is important as Subcategorization which is basically the numbers of the books. General categorization is like the basic genre of the collection of books, which and basically what Index is in books. There should be only one of them for each though. They should be one for each major topic eg Character, Machines, Tribes, Locations, Skill, Lore, Weapons, Outfit (most revelant to Character as Doesn't have a list like Tribes or Machine) .

I've noticied some inconsistencies with how we are using categories on this wiki. The editing guidelines state the following with regard to categories:
- As a general guideline, please take a look at the blog post made by Lacrossedeamon on how we will categorize the wiki.
- Any page belonging to a subcategory should not also be put under the parent category (e.g. Tearblaster is in the Ranged Weapons subcategory, it must not be found in the parent category Weapons).
Lacrossedeamon's blog post is great and expansive, but it doesn't cover locations or characters, which is where I am noticing the biggest issues.

Hullo everyone! I'm somewhat new to this wiki, however I have just completed Horizon Zero Dawn and can say with certainty it is my favorite game that I have ever played. Point being, I would like to improve this wiki any way I can, especially in lore aspects.

I will be adding these edits to each machine's wiki page, as well as possibly creating pages for each class of machine and how they work. I felt I should put my current thoughts here and leave them open to discussion.

Dervahl in the meantime could have been moved to a more permanent cell at Sunstone Rock where the mission would start. The fir…Read more >

Recently I have begun to chip away at the Hunter's Lodge missions in Horizon Zero Dawn. The first hunting ground I went to was the Sun Furrow Hunting Grounds. One of the missions there was to use ravagers to take down a Thunderjaw. I was surprised by how simple and quick the mission was. What intrigued me the most was that I could loot the Thunderjaw and get three very rare mods each time. To reset the area, I simply had to talk to the grounds keeper and the Thunderjaw respawned. It only takes 3 - 4 minutes to kill the Thunderjaw and I didn't have to fire a single arrow. It also provided me with a steady source of echo shells (which I never seem to have enough of). After selling the mods I didn't need, I left the hunting ground much richer…Read more >

Hello everyone !
I inform you of the creation of our community website on Horizon Zero Dawn, the community is French, we give advice, tutos, and the videos are not commented, like that, no worries with the language.
We also have several guides on the machines, the characters, as well as the main and secondary quests.
We look forward to seeing on http://horizonzerodawn.fr
I also thank all volunteers who help in finding information like here on Wikia!
Thanks to all, and good game!Read more >

Typically, I try to follow the main quests in open-world games, and I am embarrassed about the fact that it takes me an inordinate length of time. Side missions on the way - no problem; but when I have to run long routes - no, thank you. Not so in Horizon Zero Dawn. For hours I jumped from one side quest to the next or ran directionless. This is because of the beautiful appearance of the game, the interesting places, and hunting machines to gather resources.
The hunt for machines and related battles are exciting, no question, but often I have simply perched in the thick grass, let my inner Jacques…

Guerilla Games had a lot of thoughts on the character development of Aloy. The idea was to create an icon. A strong and curious character, in appearance, movement, and abilities that matched the post-apocalyptic world of Horizon Zero Dawn.
"I think Aloy is a very appealing character, and her skills are important. She is super agile, fast, very handy, and strategic. She is a great person. A great fellow to explore the world of Horizon Zero Dawn," says Guerrilla Games Managing Director Hermen Hulst. With heart, imagination, and a decent portion of chutzpah, Aloy has everything she needs to thrive in …

Why steel beasts displaced humans from the top of the food chain is probably the ultimate question of Horizon Zero Dawn, the highly anticipated Open-World Action RPG by the creators of the Killzone series - Guerrilla Games.

After several iterations of Killzone titles, Guerrilla Games wanted to develop something completely new and fresh. After a staggering 36 concept ideas ranging multiple genres, the studio settled on one idea in March 2010 -- Horizon Zero Dawn. After seven years of development that included some financial difficulties and doubt, the time has come to see all their hard work pay off.
Guerrilla Games Art Director Jan Bert van Beekon on the comparisons to Killzone and Horizon Zero Dawn: "The transition from Killzone was extremely interesting, both artistic and technical. The levels at Killzone were linear, at mo…

and she continued riding through lessons and working at horse
facilities. Her riding skills include saddleseat equitation, hunt
seat equitation, dressage and combined training. She also spent

2009 Au Contraire Chardonnay
The white wines begin with the 2009 Au Contraire Chardonnay sourced from Martinez's French Creek Vineyard which contains a 9-acre block of 30 year old Wente Clone Chardonnay. It was fermented in seasoned French oak (50%) and stainless steel (50%) where it remained sur lie with regular batonnage for 7 months. Twenty percent of the wine went through malolactic. It displays floral notes, apple, white peach, and pear aromas. On the palate mineral and savory elements emerge buttressed by lively acidity, This is a restrained, elegant style of Chardonnay reminiscent of a Premier Cru Chablis.
The wine displays delicate aromas of Granny Smith apple, cherry blossoms, white peach and fresh linen. There is great mid-palate weight with flavors of ripe pear, citrus, minerals, balanced acidity and a long persistent finish. Try this wine with seafood, poultry, soft or fully ripened cheeses and sushi.

Our three French Impressionism programmes, GIVEN AS EXAMPLES ONLY OF WHAT CAN BE ORGANISED FOR YOU, offer three modules, each of which can be taken separatey, modified, or put together as an extended tour : but elements of each can be taken to compose the tour of your choice!
Of interest to :
Anyone interested in the French Impressionists and the places which inspired them
GIVERNY (Monet home and gardens)
NORMANDY (Honfleur, Rouen and surroundings)
Day 1 : After leaving Paris, drive through the Seine Valley, passing through villages where Monet lived before settling in Giverny : they have retained much of the charm they had more than a century ago. On arrival in Giverny, take lunch in a 19th century inn closely linked to the artistic life of Giverny at the time of the Impressionists. After lunch, a guided tour of the home and gardens of Monet at Giverny, which inspired so many of his paintings. The famous lake in the gardens at water lily time is unforgettable! Before leaving, a visit to the new Impressionist museum opening in spring 2009. Late afternoon, drive to Honfleur.
Day 2 : Honfleur, the small town with its lovely port, was most favoured by painters from the Romantics to the Impressionists, and subsequently the Pointillists and Fauvists. There is a popular saying : "If you come to Honfleur, you'll catch the local illness and feel the need to paint"! The guided walking visit of the town is followed by a visit to the Musee Eugene Boudin (one of the most important Impressionist precursors).
Lunch at the Ferme Saint-Simeon, for nearly 50 years the meeting place of all the painters (from Courbet to Monet, and many other famous names), now a superb hotel-restaurant overlooking the estuary. To walk off (literally!) your lunch, stroll around the nearby resorts of Deauville and Trouville, much favoured and painted by the Impressionists.
Day 3 : From Honfleur, drive across the superb Pont de Normandie (one of the great late 20th century engineering masterpieces) into Le Havre (the town and port were declared World Heritage sites in 2006), and where Monet, who lived here from the age of five, painted the view over the port, giving his work the simple designation Sunrise - an Impression : the name giving birth to the whole movement.
A guided visit of the Andre Malraux Art Museum which has a most important collection of French impressionist works, as well as the recently acquired Senn Foulds collection "from Courbet to Matisse", one of the largest painting requests made in France in recent times.
The afternoon will be given over to exploring as much as possible of the coast between Le Havre and Dieppe (especially Etretat, Fécamp, and possibly Pourville) - a coast line-extremely rich in inspiration for the impressionists and those who followed them!
Drive into the cathedral city of Rouen for the evening.
Day 4 : Morning guided walking tour in the theme : Rouen and the Impressionists, with particular reference to Monet's celebrated series of paintings of the cathedral, finishing at the Fine Arts Museum, which arguably claims to have the finest collection of Impressionist paintings outside Paris.
Have lunch in one of Rouen's most celebrated restaurants situated in a 14th century building (past customers include Sophia Loren, Joyn Wayne, Salvador Dali, Sartre, and Princess Grace of Monaco!!)
Late afternoon : return to Paris
ANY OF THE THESE DAYS CAN BE COMBINED TOGETHER TO FORM A 2 or 3 DAY PROGRAMME, TAKEN IN THEIR ENTIRETY, OR AS PART OF A TOUR COMBINED WITH IMPRESSIONISM (1) AND/OR IMPRESSIONISM (3).
PLEASE CONTACT Annie & David Bancroft at email@example.com TO DISCUSS YOUR PLANS IN DETAIL

The Top 5 Things to Do in Colorado in 5 Days
1. Breckenridge's Guided Ski & Snowboard Tours
Breck's "Explore" Guided Tour: Learn the mountain like a local. With five mountains, Breckenridge is wide open for exploration. My friend and I learned how and where to ski on this tour. An added bonus was the avalanche education we received from our guide, Kevin Eddy. At Breck, they're making sure everyone has safe ski conditions, and that includes the constant surveillance of the mountains and weather and how snow reacts to climate changes over time.
Lodging: Want to save money and looking for a no-frills lodge that's one block away from the Snowflake chair lift? Give Wedgewood Lodge a try. I stayed in a room with a two queen beds, a full kitchen, and a balcony. Staying there saved me about $150 a night. I also was able to walk to Main Street in under 10 minutes.
2. Breckenridge's Food & Nightlife
Downstairs at Eric's: Established in 1989, this family establishment is a perfect combination of a sports bar and arcade. The whole family will enjoy this spot! I highly recommend getting Eric's Famous Baked Wings and any of their pizzas (both perfect indulgences after a long day on the slopes).
The Columbine Cafe: This unique breakfast and lunch spot in Breckenridge serves hearty and nutritious homestyle entrees. They're known for their house-made corned beef hash. I got the CBH Scramble and a pancake stuffed with sliced strawberries. This delicious spread was the best breakfast I've had in some time.
3. Boulder's Mount Sanitas Trail
This moderate to difficult trail offers spectacular views and even better photo opportunities of the surrounding mountains and downtown Boulder. With a round trip time of two hours, there's no reason not to squeeze this into your visit. Sanitas, meaning "health," is a great way to start your morning. Get up to the top before sunrise and see the whole valley light up as the sun peeks over the mountaintops. I chose to bring my Atlas camera backpack because I can safely store my DSLR Nikon d750 with lenses and batteries, leaving a few compartments open to store food, water, extra clothes, and gear all within the same bag. Be on the lookout for mountain lions who do inhabit this area, but you'll most likely see coyotes, foxes, mule deer, and raptors.
4. Boulder's Food
OAK at Fourteenth: We stumbled upon this happy hour and struck gold. OAK at Fourteenth melds elements of Colorado's rustic backdrop with Boulder's hip and contemporary dining scene, featuring local and seasonal New American cuisine in a friendly atmosphere.
River and Woods: In the cutest little house, you'll find the most honest, locally-sourced ingredients out there. With that being said, I went straight for the molten cinnamon churros y chocolate to start, and then I got serious and ordered the gold miner's breakfast. I sure did have an appetite after that Sanitas Trail hike!
5. Denver's Food & Nightlife
Avanti Food & Beverage: I could mention Red Rocks and other things Denver has to offer, but what stood out to me was Denver's culinary options. Avanti offers seven different restaurant choices, twenty draft beers, classic cocktails, and a variety of wines. Grab a seat in the lounge, dining area, or rooftop deck (my favorite).
Just BE Kitchen: Denver's new Paleo restaurant offering 100 percent gluten-, grain- and refined sugar-free foods. An added bonus is that this is just around the corner from REI, where we stopped to pick up some extra items we didn't take with us from Austin.

Payment to bands is based on one specific qualification: availability. Basically, the band is hired by Starbucks for musical performances at a interval that the director decide upon. FIRST APPEARANCES ARE NOT PAID SHOWS (Some exceptions can be made, although prior authorization is required)!! Usually payment will begin after the second performance. It is determined by crowd repsonse and director's opinion/ discretion. ALL groups are given an opportunity for a first performance.
Payment scales are as follows:
Solo: $50-$100
Duo: $100-$150
Trio & more $150
ALL paid groups will be held to a commitment of playing once every five weeks. This is not optional, unless prior arrangements have been made. If this agreement is broken, payment will stop immediately.
Exceptions to these rules CAN be made. But, it must be discussed with the director before the first performance.
Thank you.

Making Habits Stick Part 1: What to Expect
Forming new habits can be a complicated process but it can also be an easy process if you approach it the right way. If you go about practicing change correctly, it can and will stick. We tend to get easily sidetracked by unforeseen obstacles. The trick to overcoming these barriers quickly is being aware of what may come and having a game plan for when they do. The following are some of the usual suspects.
Your mind plays tricks on you–
When we are approached by change or when a challenge becomes more difficult, our mind can be quick to tell us that we can't handle it. Just this morning, while starting my warm-up routine, my mind tried to convince me that I wouldn't be able to complete my workout and that I deserved a break, suggesting that I should take the day off. I can promise you, you will never regret pushing through this resistance.
It slips your mind
The primary goal of practicing new habits is to get to a point where you no longer have to actively think about doing it. In the beginning stages of practicing your new habit, you can and will forget to follow through if you don't have a system in place.
You break the streak
You've been doing a great job at staying consistent and getting the job done and then...BOOM. You miss a day! You feel like it's all over. Everything that you have worked so hard for has been washed down the drain. Clean slate? What clean slate?
You lose the passion
This particular obstacle has been one of the most common that I have noticed. In the beginning, you are on fire! You crush anyone who tries to come in between you and the gym. A few weeks later, you are at happy hour with some of those same people that you had previously crushed.
Traveling, becoming sick or an emergency throws you off
At this point, some other priorities need to be tended to. You tell yourself that you will make up for it or that you will get right back on it later on. But then later never comes.
You get distracted
There's a new show on Netflix and it's about to be Binge City! Instagram has you checking in on your favorite celebrities every 5 minutes. The access to incredible content on YouTube couldn't be easier nowadays. Now,you are stuck trying to decide which is better: the latest episode on Netflix or the less desirable habit of getting to bed earlier.
These are all examples of what can and will get in the way when you are going after your goals. You can lose passion, get distracted, become derailed by travel, you'll forget, break the streak, or you'll start having self-doubt. Next week, I'll be going over key practices that will help you address each one of these obstacles.

Well, watching the special by What Not to Wear's Clinton Kelly about renovating his country house was surprisingly enjoyable (and much better than Stacey London's annoying extracurricular efforts). I liked the parts with his family, and laughed when he did makeovers of his contractors, including his dad. But really, he seemed overly bewildered by the realities of the time and money needed to achieve his vision. Shouldn't a big old queen like him have seen Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House by now?
I liked many of his design choices, especially in the master bathroom and guest bedroom (that orange chrysanthemum wallpaper? To die for). But he has got to be kidding about that purple sofa/yellow-and-pink rug combo and the antler chandelier ($5,500? you cannot possibly be serious). He told his interior designer that one of his goals was for some people to walk into the living room and hate it. Clinton, consider your mission accomplished.

Movie Diary October 2007
Movies not seen before are in green.
- Captains Courageous (1937), Victor Fleming. Sentimental coming-of-age story of a rich man's son (Freddie Bartholomew) who gets taught about life by a poor Portuguese fisherman (Spencer Tracy). I don't think Tracy's performance here, with his laughable accent, is Oscar-worthy, but he's more likeable than in some of his tough hero roles. The scene where he dies is genuinely touching, and Bartholomew really sells the film from that point on. (Am I bad and wrong to see the homoeroticism in the scene where Bartholomew begs to stay with Tracy rather than go back to his father?) Lionel Barrymore and Mickey Rooney are also effective as the fishing boat captain and his son.
- A River Runs Through It (1992), Robert Redford. Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt. Something about fish. Stupid voiceover. Brad Pitt. What else do you need to know?
- Separate Tables (1958), Delbert Mann. Star-studded version of the dated Terence Rattigan play about the residents of a second-rate English seaside hotel. As in many other plays of the '50s, people wander around purporting to be Terribly Frank and Earnest about Sex while actually being repressed and weird. However, the performances of David Niven as a retired soldier whose whole life is a fraud and Deborah Kerr as the spinster of indeterminate age (she was 36 when this was made, but she dresses and sounds like a girl of 18) who loves him wrenched my heart out. Wendy Hiller is also fine as the hotel manager who gives up her true love (Burt Lancaster) to his drug-ridden ex-wife (Rita Hayworth), although what either of the women wants with his drunken, abusive ass is kind of puzzling. Ironically, although the script is full of exclamations about how gorgeous Hayworth's character is, she's never looked harder or less beautiful.
- Fail Safe (1964), Sidney Lumet. Well-made, low-key thriller featuring Henry Fonda in the kind of role he did best, but almost impossible to take seriously after having seen Dr. Strangelove. Apparently audiences in 1964 (including Fonda) felt the same.
- Broadway Melody of 1940 (1940), Norman Taurog. Formulaic musical about dance team in love with the same woman, but featuring some iconic moments with Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell.
- The Trouble With Angels (1966), Ida Lupino. This used to be one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Nowadays I identify with Rosalind Russell more than Hayley Mills, but it's still pretty fun.
- Sleuth (1972), Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Anthony Shaffer or no Anthony Shaffer, the thing is unwatchable.
- Young Bess (1953), George Sidney. What a glorious romp movies can make through history when they're not concerned with pesky things like accuracy or authenticity. Jean Simmons shines as Bess, Charles Laughton gives a sly reprise of his role as Henry VIII, and Stewart Granger in tights is a magnificent spectacle. Special mention must be made of Rex Thompson, who intentionally or not eerily reproduces the almost pathological detachment of Edward VI toward the horror of events surrounding him. And by the way, Robert Osborne, STFU about Queen Elizabeth.
- In Harm's Way (1965), Otto Preminger. God, did I really sit through this lousy movie again? Well, it was a slow night following the Mad Men finale. One thing I didn't talk about before was the subplot with Tom Tryon as the recovered sailor and Paula Prentiss as his wife, who presented a tender portrait of a happy couple in unhappy circumstances.
- Spencer's Mountain (1963), Delmer Daves. Another movie I remembered fondly from my childhood. This time I had to turn it off after 5 minutes. Maureen O'Hara looked fabulous, though.
- Elmer Gantry (1960), Richard Brooks. Burt Lancaster is absolutely mesmerizing as the traveling salesman turned evangelist. As in The Rainmaker, you know he's full of shit, but he almost makes you believe. Shirley Jones gives a hard-boiled performance that almost makes up for her saccharine turns in almost every other movie she was in. Not quite, but almost.
- Mister Roberts (1955), John Ford, Mervyn LeRoy. Well-written service comedy that is actually a study of different characters under the stresses of war and boredom. Jimmy Cagney, William Powell, Jack Lemmon, and Henry Fonda all excel.
- The Manchurian Candidate (1962), John Frankenheimer. What a kick-ass movie. Both Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, normally not among my favorite actors, are effective, but this film belongs to Angela Lansbury as the mother of all mothers from hell. Just one question: what the hell is Janet Leigh doing here? Her part has no purpose, except maybe to assure audiences that Sinatra's character isn't gay.
- Tender Comrade (1943), Edward Dmytryk. This is the film that ended Dmytryk's career? It's just a pleasantly weepy soaper about four women (well, five, if you count the carefully-not-quite-identified-as-Jewish housekeeper) sharing a house and waiting for their men to come home. Ruth Hussey is impressive as a sort-of slut who sees the light when her MIA husband resurfaces. Also, Ginger Rogers and Robert Ryan are kind of adorable as the childhood sweethearts at the center of the story, although they need work on their marital communication skills.
- Miss Congeniality (2000), Donald Petrie. Sometimes all you want is mindless entertainment. If it gets you through Halloween night without axe murderers, vampires, stomach-bursting aliens, or other monsters, so much the better. In a show of gratitude, I won't get into the part where the movie pretends to be about empowerment but is really all about looksism. Especially when it comes to Eric (Benjamin Bratt); yeah, he is smokin' hot, but what else does Gracie (Sandra Bullock) see in him? Instead, I'll just skip along to the part where I say Candice Bergen, William Shatner, and Michael Caine are all hilarious.

Yesterday, Office 365 experienced a significant outage across most of the US and Europe as reported by sites like downdetector.com and MSPmentor.net leaving customers unable to log-in to Exchange Online to read, respond, send, or receive new emails. Many of our customers that have already migrated to Office 365 believed these types of events were a thing of the past. The belief was that moving to Office 365 would simplify operations in the hopes they could get out of the game of keeping Exchange servers up and running. However, one of the biggest trade-offs made was greater control of availability and uptime in the event of server failure. The best practice had always been to cluster Exchange servers for HA and replicated their data offsite using DAGs. Unfortunately, when they migrated to Office 365 they gave up the control of uptime and failover.

Hair is for me the second best accessory a girl can have. (The first is coming soon!) Having great hair is something that lucky people are born with and others must work hard to attain. Sounds crazy, but really it's true. You know that friend you have who's wet hair just dries perfectly, without product and no matter what the conditions are, yeah… jealous. Mine does not.
My hair is in between pretty much every spectrum. Naturally, it's this wavy texture that's not too fine, and not too thick. 90% of the days I must add heat to my hair, whether it's straightening or curling, I will use an appliance. When it's too hot or I'm feeling semi-lazy I'll wash my hair at night time add a product and sleep on it. Luckily, those days, if I use the right product I'll wake up with non-crazy cat lady hair, i.e. it's a soft wave that doesn't have too much frizz.
For me, frizz is the hair enemy that I try to avoid at all costs.
Here is my breakdown of products that I find to be the best of the best: some drugstore, some salon, and some that will not work for anyone but myself. Just a reminder that just because I like them does not mean you will, or they will have the same effect on your hair, so don't run out and buy anything without thinking it over!
Basics: a wide tooth comb, a round brush, and a paddle brush. A wide-tooth comb is essential for wet hair, any thing else is breaking your hair and helping to aid split ends. Especially for girls with easy to tangle hair (like myself) using a wide tooth comb in the shower with conditioner is your best bet as well as using it to detangle your hair once you're out of the shower. Round brushes and paddle brushes are just styling tools, find a price point and size that work for you, smaller ones are easier on shorter hair, bigger ones for longer hair. Boar bristles brushes are great, but expensive.
In the shower: A color-treated shampoo and conditioner if you have colored hair=SO IMPORTANT!
Otherwise, you are stripping your hair's color. The gentler = the better! I use sunflower shampoo and conditioner from Kiehl's because even though it's semi-pricey (around $20-25) it smells amazing and truly keeps my color longer. Once a week I use a clarifying shampoo to remove product build-up, only once a week so I don't strip my hair's colors or oils. I use Bumble & Bumble's "Sunday" shampoo ($20). Once a week, I also use a deep conditioner that I leave in for 20-ish minutes. It helps sometimes to put it on dry hair so it penetrates better. I was gifted a Logics vitalizing treatment mask and I think it's amazing!! It really helps smooth your hair's end cuticles and help the damage done by all the heat, it's a little steep at $28 but works great and I will say that even though I was given this product for free to review, I love it and would buy it again with my own money.
Once you get in the shower your hair should be completely saturated with water before using shampoo. Only put a quarter-ish size drop to use and spread it out on just the roots of your hair, use your fingers to spread it around over your ears, your hairline and the crown of your head. Only massage your roots for around 3o seconds and then wash the shampoo out completely as leaving it in will dry out your hair. Put conditioner in from underneath your crown to the ends and I use a clip to pin it up so the conditioner can soak in my hair while I do other things. Wash it out completely and you're set!
Using good products (price aside) means a higher likelihood of less damage to your hair. Using $1 shampoos and conditioners can contain a lot of sulfate and alcohol which is drying your hair out more. It also really depends on if you color your hair or not, and if you naturally have dry or oily hair. Shop around, look online at advice, or ask your hairdresser. Finding products that work for you may take awhile but once you do find them, you're set for life!
All these products can be priced around at salons vs drugstores and even online beauty suppliers like folica.com and such so check around and see if you can get them cheaper!

Danae's First Girl
How could I resist pointing you all at Danae's account of her first sexual encounter with a woman? She opens with the first meeting:
My first relationship and experiences with a woman were when I was a freshman in college. I met a beautiful girl the first day of orientation by running into her. I was juggling books – looking for the piece of paper that told me where to go next and I literally ran into her…a beautiful girl with long wavy red hair, pale skin with freckles and green eyes. She was one of those people that walks in a room and the whole room stops talking and looks — she was that beautiful.
I of course wanted to sink into the crack of the sidewalk and melt way as I was totally embarrassed. But she was so nice. And made me feel at ease telling me not to worry about it as she remembered what it was like trying navigate the campus for the first time. She introduced herself….Morgan. We stood there and talked for a bit. And before we parted she insisted on trading info so that she could check in on me make sure I was finding everything.
Heh. Purely altruistic, I'm sure.
Jumping way forward in the story, and skipping the preliminary seduction, though you should not:
But on to the first time we had sex….It was hot too with her pushing me up against a stall of a bathroom in a club. We were dancing, kissing and touching and she lead me to the bathroom – into a stall and pushed me against the wall of the stall and pushed my shirt up and pull my tits above my bra and sucked and unzipped my jeans and worked her fingers into me. She told me to beg her to "let me orgasm." The place was a club – grimy but it just made it even that much better. I begged and she brought me close many times but would always stop. Finally she stopped and told me I only got an orgasm at home where I would undress for her. I had been being shy to this point not wanting her to "see" me. So she worked me up so much that of course got what she wanted. Because she brought that slut side out – I wanted to do anything she asked and was willing to spread my legs or whatever she wanted me to do because I was so turned on. We went home and I undressed for her…

Henley Royal Regatta – The Ultimate Guide
Planning a trip to Henley this year?
Here is our Pearl & Pear guide to the five day world-famous Henley Royal Regatta boating event to make sure you make the most out of your trip. What to wear, where to go and what to see.
Henley Royal Regatta
First and foremost, let's start with a little bit of history so you know what's what. Since 1839, Henley-on-Thames has been home to the event. With over 200 races, thousands of people make their way over from all over the world to take in the rowing action.
Like with all events, you get the crowd who study the programme of events and seriously know their stuff. You also get the crowd who just like to get dressed up and have a day of great british summer season social schmoozing.
Getting In
There are a number of enclosures, the main two that are arguably the most well-known are The Steward's Enclosure and The Regatta Enclosure which includes the likes of Leander, Phyllis Court and Rememham Club.
The Steward's Enclosure is situated right opposite the finish line for the best views and reserved for members and their guests. To even be in with a small chance of becoming a Steward you must have raced at Henley previously. They do also review applications from experienced rowers too. It is significantly easier if you have a great rowing pal who will let you be there plus one!
All of them can be tricky to get into without a connection into rowing but fear not as there are plenty of other options for you to enjoy in the merriment of it all.
Dressing Up For The Occasion
Don't you just love the great british, none of us are quite sure what's going to happen, weather! Unless your are enjoying yourself under one of the Enclosure's, don't forget to wear sensible shoes and take your brolley should rain be forecast.
Dress etiquette is taken very seriously at Henley Royal Regatta in the Enclosure's. Ladies must wear knee length, demure dress. Forget it if you think you'll get away with jeans, shorts and even some skirts can be questioned. Also good to wear a hat. Whilst not compulsory, they are seen as customary. For gents, blazers with flannels or lounge suits are the best option. Boat shoes or loafers will do here. Don't worry too much if you're not in any of these areas, you can get away with being much more relaxed about your outfit choices. Not too much, just a little!
Insider Tips
Download the Henley Royal Regatta programme – avoid paying the earth for one and print it off instead. Savvy!
Fancy some live music? Head to The Angel on the Bridge for a lively afternoon.
Stay clear of the Mahiki tent unless you just want to buy Champagne and spray it everywhere for the sake of it.
Get Henley Royal Regatta Radio tuned in and impress your friends with some racing chat.
Pack a picnic and get there early. When you have found the perfect spot for the day, chances are you won't move. For a great summer picnic inspiration, read our guides to summer entertaining and impress your friends with some cool pre-made cocktails and delicious snacks and salads.
Take cash. Most places except card but if not, there are no cash points. You will have to make your way into the town centre and get in the mile long queue!

Vintage analysis and data collection
Oct 24, 2016
Vintage analysis is a method of evaluating the credit quality of a loan portfolio by analyzing net charge-offs in a given loan pool where the loans share the same origination period. It allows the financial institution to calculate the cumulative loss rates of a specific loan pool, thereby determining the loan pool's lifetime expected loss experience.
The method is widely used in the analysis of retail credit card and mortgage portfolios, but as Michael L. Gullette, VP Accounting and Financial Management at the American Bankers Association notes, vintage analysis may have a more prominent role under the Financial Accounting Standard Board's new current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model may be implemented as soon as Dec. 15, 2018, for institutions wishing to adopt the standard early, but will take effect for SEC filers in 2020 and for all other banks in 2021.
"Vintage analysis, whereby loan portfolios are generally broken out into cohorts by each issuance year, could become a minimum requirement in order to support the ALLL estimate under CECL," Gullette wrote in a discussion paper for the American Bankers Association. "Other analyses may be more appropriate than vintage analysis as a basis for the ALLL estimate. However, because vintage analysis allows for review of loan activity from the beginning of the life of the loan (origination) to the end (pay-off or charge-off), it will likely be the minimum requirement."
As noted in the Abrigo whitepaper, "The Basics of Vintage Analysis," this method is not overly complicated, but its expanded data retention and supporting factor requirements could necessitate changes to current workflows and practices. Banks and credit unions will need a way to document all final reserve calculations, including qualitative and environmental factors applied to quantitative reserve amounts. This process could take time and may compel a best practice of collecting data and implementing process changes ahead of anticipated CECL implementation dates.
Abrigo Risk Management Consultant Neekis Hammond was asked during a recent webinar, "CECL – Initial & Subsequent Measures of Loss," for guidance for financial institutions to should determine how far back to go when conducting their vintage analysis.
"You can never go too far [back] in a vintage, that's the nice thing," Hammond said. "If you've got a five-year pool and you run a 10-year vintage analysis, those final five years will just yield 0 percent loss experience."
Financial institutions, however, can conduct a vintage analysis over a window of time that is too narrow, Hammond said. "The way you'll know right away if you're too short is, say you run a 3-year vintage analysis; you're going back from 2012 to 2015, and you find that you still have a lot of dollars in your 2012 originations. That would indicate that your vintage analysis period is too short and you need to lengthen it."
One advantage of understanding potential methodologies to use under CECL and to understanding segmentation strategies and measurement techniques as soon as possible is that financial institutions may be able to identify data gaps early enough to reduce those gaps, Hammond said.

Discover the Indweller through your own Inner Practice
The sacred scriptures provide guidelines for seeking out and recognizing the indweller; but scriptural teachings in themselves will not be sufficient to know it. You cannot attain the divinity by merely studying the scriptures. Using the declarations in the scriptures as your basis, you have to make a determined effort to develop inner vision. Scriptures can only show the path. They are like guideposts; they give the directions. To reach the goal you have to walk the path yourself. Following the directions given you have to undertake this sacred journey and unwaveringly adhere to it until the goal is reached. For this the Gita has laid out the path.
In the Gita, the directions for the journey commence with the eleventh verse in the second chapter. That is the beginning of Krishna's teaching. It starts with the injunction not to grieve for those who should not be grieved for. Who is it that should not be grieved for? What is the way to prevent grief? The Gita teacher declared that there is no point in grieving over things which are impermanent and transient. Bodies and personalities are impermanent and transient. All the things of the world are impermanent and transient. Krishna said, "Arjuna, all your grief is for nothing."
