Outsourcing Life: Unconventional Advice for When You're Financially Secure
Published on - February 10th, 2010 (by J.D. Roth)
This is a guest post from Erica Douglass. After selling her online business for a million dollars at age 26, Erica
"temporarily retired". She now writes an online business blog at erica.biz. This is very much an article about advanced personal finance techniques, and doesn't necessarily reflect my own philosophy.
You've pulled yourself out of debt, are saving a reasonable amount of income for your retirement, have built an emergency fund, and your daily needs are easily met with your income. Congratulations! Now what?
That's exactly where I was in 2007. I sold my business and generated a huge windfall — over a million dollars. I paid off all my debt. And then I looked around and said, "Oh, crap."
I had absolutely no idea what to do with my money. Previously, any extra money I'd earned was immediately stuffed back into my business, and I had been running deficits nearly everywhere. This was the first time in my adult life I'd ever had my head above water, financially speaking.
Over the next three months, I proceeded to blow over $50,000. Oh, don't get me wrong — it was fun! I bought a new car (that I still drive), some really beautiful artwork from artists I loved (that looks great on my walls), and thousands of dollars in clothes, new furniture, and other indulgences, such as $4,000 custom hand-made stereo speakers (that I'm listening to right now.)
It was fun…for a couple months. Then it got boring.
My Spiral into Depression
Like many lottery winners, I spiraled into depression. The business I had spent six years of my life building was gone. I felt adrift — like I had no purpose. Despite having been "successful", no one knew who I was. I had marginalized most of my personal relationships in favor of growing my business and working myself to death. And money wasn't going to buy me out of the situation.
Slowly, I pulled myself out of my depression. I realized I had the opportunity to make myself into anyone I wanted to be. I could do anything I wanted. I had complete freedom. The thought was both exhilarating and terrifying.
I bought a shelf full of self-help books and read them all, relentlessly seeking to answer the many questions I had. Some of them were philosophical, like "What made me successful when so many others have failed?" Some were practical, like "How do I invest my money?" But all of them led back to one deeper question: "What should I do to be happy?" I soon realized the latter question was incorrect. The better question was, "Who should I be to be happy?"
In December 2007, I started blogging. I exposed a significant amount of my business life and thoughts. I wrote about my successes and my mistakes and failures. I enjoyed writing, doing videos, and interacting with my readers. Helping others figure out their purpose, their businesses, and their websites and blogs was a fantastic experience.
Spending with a Purpose
I made a point of trying to achieve greater states of happiness on a daily basis. Instead of being merely content — or even apathetic — with my current state of being, I realized I could be happier daily. And suddenly it hit me: I understood what I wanted to do with my money. I wanted to outsource pretty much everything I hated doing.
In order to live a simpler, calmer, but more effective life, I had to drop the shackles of wanting to do everything myself. To allow time to meditate, think, write, and create, I had to get rid of the drudgery of daily tasks. I realized my money could serve a fantastic dual purpose: To allow others, whose passion is cooking, cleaning, or assisting in various ways to help me — while I supported them by giving them income to do what they loved.
My life fundamentally changed that day. I started hiring people to do everything I didn't want to do. The first step was to hire a cleaning service. Then I hired a personal assistant to work out of my house, filing papers, doing laundry, and organizing. I hired virtual assistants to do all the menial tasks I hated doing: bookkeeping; video editing; audio editing; even setting up my Facebook fan page. (Lisa, my VA who set up the Facebook page for me, said happily: "I can't believe I get paid to do this!" And I realized…we're both lucky.)
My Daily Routine
I wake up in the morning and my VAs have sent me their updates. I am building a business where I create how-to videos for small business owners and bloggers who want to drive more traffic to their sites and get more customers.
I learned meditation, and currently spend about 40 minutes a day relaxing. I also spend a few hours a day doing the parts of my business I love, from creating videos to writing to programming. When I walk down to the kitchen, it's clean; Elia, my housekeeper, comes in every week to make sure it's spotless. She spends 2 hours cleaning our kitchen; total cost to me: $30.
My VA in the Philippines edits my videos and does a fantastic job for $3.33/hour.
Whenever I do an interview with another entrepreneur, I send it to another VA in the Philippines, who, for $9/hour, edits it perfectly, getting rid of all the strange pauses and "um"s. I send the edited interview off to a transcriptionist. For less than $30, I get back an excellent transcription, often 12-16 pages long.
Lisa, my VA here in the U.S., has set up an entire website and integrated it with a shopping cart for my customers to order products and access them once they have ordered. She charges $30/hour (my most expensive staff member) and she's worth every penny.
I treat my staff members well, and they love the fact that they can work from home and get paid great wages ($3/hour in in the Philippines is equal to about a $65,000/year wage here in the U.S.) They are happy — I can see it in their emails and text chat messages.
My partner Richard and I fight less. There's no scrapping over who will do a certain task. If no one wants to do it, we work together to figure out how to hire someone.
A Disease Opens My Eyes
I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease. The management of the disease may sound simple, but it's not: eliminate wheat, oats, barley and rye from your diet. Most restaurants have very
few gluten-free items; I'm lucky if I can order one non-salad item from a typical menu. Some restaurants are impossible to eat at; soy sauce, for instance, has wheat in it. I've gotten sick from things as odd as bacon, cake frosting, and ranch dressing.
After a few weeks of eating mostly hot dogs and tuna fish, I grew tired of my limited options. I thought about learning to cook, but it wasn't something that excited me. So we hired a personal chef to cook our meals — one who understands the challenge of cooking gluten-free. We pay her $10/hour, including travel time to deliver the food to us, and she gets a fun side job.
In a randomly-chosen week before I hired a personal chef, I ate out four times and went to the grocery store twice. I spent a total of $179.91 on restaurants and groceries. Last week, I spent $215.49, including groceries, for eating out and paying my personal chef. My "eating out" expenses dropped from $86.14 to just $32.28 — over 60% less! My total spent was $35.58 more, but to me, that's a small price to pay for gourmet food of my choice delivered to my door. Another remarkable and unexpected side effect was that I no longer have an urge to go out and spend money at fancy restaurants — I simply ask my chef to make what I want and deliver it to me.
It has been more than two years since I sold my business, and I am happier than I have ever been. I made different choices than most: We rent a house instead of owning (a savings of nearly $4,000/month in our neighborhood — more than our monthly rent payment!); we only have basic cable; we don't have a landline, credit card debt, car payments, or student loans.
I chose, instead of buying more Stuff, to live a more fulfilled life. For me, even more important than holding onto my money tightly was to learn to let it go — to give it to others in exchange for work well done, and to trust that they could do tasks well. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

This article is about Advanced, Odds and Ends
@Russ – I find it interesting how I'm labelled altruistic. As well, the presumption that I said you were immoral. Not only that, but that I claim that your interests are in direct conflict with yours. Russ, I clarified again in my last response that what I'm trying to get to is my opinion on the "unconventional advice" given by the article. Now if you feel that I touched a chord in you and you want to feel better in how you think compared to what I think, then we can pursue that. But I'm trying to be as clear as possible. I'm reflecting on Erica's response to her financial independence. Not on the details to which she has to do. Your response was clearly explained. The way you write, gives me the impression you are trying to prove you are right and/or I am wrong. I'll be the first to say that I am not trying to do that. As I said before, I'm just trying to share and learn. If it seems like I'm judging in any way, I'm sorry. So if the very basic ethics of writing cannot be respected, then I do not want to engage in conversation with you anymore… so respectfully, you could probably say a lot of things better, with encouragement for change, rather than try to take a cheap stab through text. Example: what are you trying to convey when you say "If you cannot do that I would find the idea of sympathy towards you utterly repulsive."? Russ, I'm sure you can see my perspective on this. I would be happy to continue to share ideas and learn more if we keep the environment for that respect.
@Honey – I agree with your statement -> "I want to live in a society that's motivated to take legislative action to maximize the productivity and happines of all its citizens.". So what do you think is stopping us from having that now?
@Honey, I'm not so sure we're on the same page.
@Arturo, I apologize, my use of the word "you" in the text you pointed out was not directed at you individually. I suppose that was a poor choice of words given the context. You have had an underlying theme of altruism throughout your posts based on an assumption that is a moral stance. I was challenging that assumption, that's all. Perhaps a beer, or better yet, a scotch and a cigar would have made for a better venue. Take care.
@Arturo – I think there are several things stopping us:
1) People falsely believe that if we give other people more, then it necessarily follows that they themselves will have less. Not only is having more employable/productive/tax-paying citizens better for everyone economically, there are numerous other advantages that can't be quantified in terms of dollars per capita that are more important. This is why the talking heads drive me so crazy on TV – they say "If we did that, we'd have to raise taxes," as if that's always a bad thing. What if something's intrinsic worth is greater than the dollar amount it costs to pay for it? Why is raising taxes a bad thing?
2) Because the world is an uncertain place, people will cash in on smaller gains immediately rather than invest in long-term solutions that will have much bigger payoffs later. I.e., "I will vote against increasing the sales tax because it is more expensive for me," even though by voting against it I am depriving my city of educational improvements/new hospitals/whatever that will have a more significant positive impact on my quality of life down the road than saving .01 per dollar would (as a made-up example). The penny in my pocket today is real; my future children and the possibility that I may get cancer one day and need a specialist are not.
3) One of the great failings of democracy is that it indulges the human desire to put off acknowledging that we must save/plan today for things that are inevitable and expensive. Just like the average American doesn't have a 6-month emergency fund (though the average GRS reader might!), as a society we ignore the fact that health care costs are skyrocketing, that the planet is overpopulated, that we are destroying our planet, and that all 3 of these things are inextricably intertwined in ways that we will not even be able to imagine until 2-3 billion people die of famine and pandemic – and even then our response will be as reactive and minimal as possible rather than as proactive and comprehensive as possible.
4) Secretly, we are all afraid that we are the expendable ones. It seems that one of the purposes in arranging humankind into a society is acknowledging the fact that if it's human nature for us to protect our own individual interests (when really our understanding of the world is so imperfect that we can't even reliably gauge what our own individual interests truly are or should be), then we need to create an external body (government) that is charged explicity with discovering what is best for the whole and ruthlessly implementing those discoveries regardless of the short-term impact on some individuals. It's all good in theory, but we're all terrified that we'd be the short-term casualty.
@Russ, I am not sure what appreciating your stance and reasoning has to do with whether I agree with you or not.
@Russ – Scotch and cigar sounds good. Thank you!
@Honey – Excellent reply. I agree. In the end, all things will take some sort of risk for any kind of gain.
Not being an American, reading this discussion is quite interesting.
Australia has such a strong minimum wage, that hiring domestic help is quite expensive and hard to find. It is also very culturally awkward. We have such an egalitarian culture, that being served, even when paying for it is incredibly awkward.
I'll "confess" that I hire a cleaner and a gardener. I do this with a clear conscience because I know how much they need the money and it releases my time to do more work as a Youth Pastor. Having said this, I don't tell many people about it, I too am in my twenties without kids, so most people would see my choice as indulgent. Maybe it is, but it's what I do.
As for hiring help from Asia, I've got to say I have no problem being a citizen of the world and paying smart people to do good work, wherever they live.
Hi Erica, I read and posted comment(s) from your other articles that's why I was able to follow you here. We admire you because you shared your blessings to those who needed it badly by hiring and paying them to help you on your household chores and to assist you with your online business. Your experiences inspired a lot to your readers.
I live in Morocco where most middle-class people have maids. Even lower-middle-class people have maids. The reason people have maids is that no one wants to be bothered with work if they can get someone else to do it for them. What is valued is LEISURE time. By hiring out household work, what you are buying is TIME for yourself.
This is probably the second post when people would start reacting a little overly about people outsourcing in the Philippines. I understand just how disappointing it is that sometimes jobs get outsourced in less developed countries like India, Philippines and others but may this serve as a wake up call to continue innovating and embrace the change with a challenge not just judging those people who feel some fulfillment in what they do. I salute Erica for doing what she thinks would make her happy, even though it required giving up some things because in order for us to have something we really and badly want oftentimes requires emptying our hands with what we currently have, so we could have more space and capacity to receive more. And yes, giving it out to those who need counts!

These Health Epic poems are examples of Epic poems about Health. These are the best examples of Health Epic poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Running through my mind,
Running through my veins,
A silica odor, dust walks through a fresh desert night,
Cool air beneath and above the sea.
A warm furnace smell, I don't understand.
Intricate to rise and receive without knowing.
Up ahead in a virtue distance,
A mysterious poisonous effluvium light-
My face feels like a leaf'
My sun holds up its own pendulum rods.
Inflammation comes and settles in for the night,
There it stands in a pertinacious manner, with quality.
I resurrect this air created from madness, all over again.
Twilight, rain stranger than strange.
Visions, pursue my path into an infested dark pasture.
"From the red Heaven I fell into the waters of a cobalt Hell"
Perhaps this venerable moment, will pass slower than slow.
If I accept, and then decline.
Would this balance the precocious state I live in?
How about when wrong directions follow my promiscuous ways.
Is my conglomeration of ideas, no longer safe?
When I no longer value the values of the young.
Will I sleep at the mercy of his ancient heart.
They're the voices give and take from our health.
Today, those soft, perfect eyes are calling from far away,
Ashes high, vapors and infection welding me.
The bright skies swallow every thin silver line,
Where the clouds sit somehow~ in bacteria….
YES UNITY! Fantabulously-fantastic!
Always, wanting more than love can touch.
We are living' it up with no alibis!
A way to be and not to BE!
The champagne leaves their cup.
Awaken in a life, disturbed ~ NOW INTERRUPT!
Only in this world, lava will reach her lips.
Prisoners and doers;
All night…. Too late for a treatment.
Lungs, decaying, evil rats.
Direction, affection, ending all the inhalation.
Running through my lungs,
Flat-lined my life ____/\ /\___ ___/\______/\___ _______________
By; pd
Smokeless inhales hurt.
I cough tar on my shirt.
As my black lungs breathe,
Shrilling exhales wheeze.
Falls me
Down to
My knees.
The nicotine cracks
My will.
My composure
I want
I must
Have this.
I sink
The brink
Of madness.
Chain smoke until
I'm in care of the CO.
There's one left, still.
I smoke it really slow.
"It's the end," I anticipate
As the last inch evaporates.
I can't get
Over it;
It's over before
I know it.
Butt, I can't quit.
I'm possessed with this
Obsession; I'm addicted.
My lungs have oxygen,
Yet I'm suffocating inside.
I can't breathe again
Without my 'noxide.
Working double time
Feeling on my own
Now all I want
Is to go home
Where there is some one
There who cares
Yet I am so damn tired
Soul feels as if it has been impaired
Making next to nothing
In this full time job
Now I have to do school work
Oh my god
Have you ever felt
As if bitterness has overwhelmed the soul
Only wishing for it to be sweetened
Yet every day you wake up
As if your body has been brutally beaten
And nothing you can possibly do
Could bring joy to your life
All actions you make
Feel as if you've slit your wrist with a knife
I have been to hell and back
And understanding, I lack
So don't skrew with me now
Cause I just may attack
And your bells I now
Intend to memorably rack
My eyes can see
That the sand is like sea
And it stretches to the end of my mind
On a ship set to sail
with four legs and a tail
Tishmandu I set out to find
Now the wind is of sand
and can lend a hand
in tearing the flesh from your bone
So your head you keep wrapped
your snaps keep snapped
and you never travel alone
The heat at midday
is to kill and waylay
if the body and soul are not one
So you pray to the east
and prepare for slim feast
begging passage under full sun
Caravan of the seed
born on camels that breed
in an endless march between wells
Over lost count of dunes
under God and full moons
blessing passage with incense and bells
At the end of the day
when gold turns to grey
and the stars brighten the skies
A device is brought forth
to determine true north
and the path where Tishmandu lies
On the fortieth morn
pressing lips to the horn
a signal beckons us wake
Leaving water behind
on a course now refined
the final leagues we must take
Tishmandu is a place
where a white mans face
has never been seen or allowed
But the people have need
and my service agreed
in a land under sky without cloud
Like feathers of blue
in the distance I view
the flags on top of the walls
Though my limbs are worn
my very fabric is torn
I move towards Tishmandu halls
At last in the shade
a walled shelter is bade
I meet with the maker of rules
A service I bring
but to rules I must cling
or a tortures price must be paid
Twenty days and seven
in the passes of heaven
I treated the sick and the lame
With rules on my mind
the medicines I grind
The devil of Tish for to tame
As I washed the sick
and avoided blunt stick
the God of the desert did smile
For the people made well
in this fortified hell
where spirit is subject to trial
In the end I am paid
for the journey I made
and the healing and medicine new
On my camel back
salted meats in my pack
I Bid farewell to Tishmandu
RAMA, Ink
Lord, I believe in You and myself,
With You I can do almost anything.
Even if I'm overweight...
I believe You'll keep me alive until the day
You want me back home with you.
I'm sorry for my sins
And all of us are imperfect humans:
Debating about beliefs, greedy thieves,
And everything else you hate.
So please forgive all of us and open the gate
To Your Heavenly Kingdom.
Have Your Son save us all.
Sometimes I believe I don't deserve You
And Your Promise for Eternity,
But Your Son's words reassure me.
I feel scared of the destruction in Your Revelation,
But remember You'll keep me safe
If I just forever keep my faith.
'Love is patient'
'Love is kind'
The thought of love
Can turn you blind.
But... Now we must
Take some steps
To verify those
Deep regrets.
The first problem you see
Was that. . .
He lied about
You being fat
That in turn
Led ya to
Beleiving that
He 'accepted' you.
Mirrors were made
For a darn good reason
And thinking you are nothing special
Is high, high treason...
But no!
He's perfect
And no! He's kind
Seriouslly sister
You've lost your mind.
The recipe to love Is that
You have to love your self.
It's not about your facial features
Or the size of ya belt.
The man should be a rock to lean on
And not! A heartless swine.
So please next time. Do pick him wisely
Make sure he has a spine!
Hello Friends... I suffer from Severe Bi-Polar Disorder and this submission was inspired by
actual events that occured during one of my especially critical manic episodes. Be sure and
read Part 2 to complete the poem and leave your comments on the Part 2 submission. Thank
you for allowing me to share my pain for pain shared is pain diminished
Me, Myself, and I...
"There are things that concern us,"
Consensed my "Selves" in earnest
""We" fear that "I" have succumbed to delusion"
"And after careful deliberation
It is with much hesitation
That we choose to delineate upon this confusion"
"Fact is your intuition
Is riddled with superstition
And your judgment leaves much to be desired"
"So you leave us no recourse
Don't push us to use force"
It is then that the "I" was summarily fired
I exclaimed "By whose authority?" Response, "Rule of majority"
"The "Myself" and the "Me," (forthwith the "We"), are experts in our field"
"And with much technique and time
And some forays into the sublime
The nature of your malady will be revealed"
"So to keep yourself from having a fit
Step back and just calm down a bit"
"We," they said, "certainly have this under control"
"We swear this won't hurt at all"
Then I felt my inhibitions fall
Still I said a prayer to God that He keep my soul
You know, fact is I do feel off axis
As evidenced by such parapraxis
As this prose that I, (or is it "Us"), seek to pen
And with my mind feeling numb
I finally chose to succumb
And allow the "Me" and the "Myself" to begin
And then came questions in a flurry
Answer, answer and please do hurry
Not one moment of respite did they give
They pushed and they prodded
With every "T" crossed and "I" dotted
My mind felt like it had gone through a sieve
And all this psycho-analysis
Is causing my mind paralysis
The questions, can you stop with the questions please
"Yes, oh yes indeed
I do believe we have what we need
To make an attempt to identify your unknown neuroses"
Hello Friends... I suffer from Severe Bi-Polar Disorder and this submission was inspired by
actual events that occured during one of my especially critical manic episodes. Be sure and
read Part 1 first so as to get the true gist of the poem and leave your comments here on the
Part 2 submission. Thank you for allowing me to share my pain for pain shared is pain
Me, Myself, and I... (continued)
"Your, (Or "Our"), symptoms seem to intermit
And the fact that "You're," ("We're"), a hypocrite
Tis no wonder we're having such problems with diagnosis"
Then "I" had an idea so grand
To dispense with this at my own hand
A self-inflicted coup de grace would be my prognosis
So while the "Me" and the "Myself" squabbled
With courage newly cobbled
"I" spotted the dresser drawer and made my run
With fingers fiercely fumbling
Whilst they continued grumbling
"I" produced from the depths of the drawer a shiny gun
And now my life, though ill-fated
Was soon to be vindicated
This would affect us all equally the same
Would be no myself or me
No you, him, us, or we
But an inclusive all would be to blame
It took me a moment to figure
Out the safety on the trigger
Then "I," (or "Us"), prepared to do the dirty deed
Then the barrel found my temple
And as it settled into the dimple
A still small voice did my "selves" choose to heed
Hence a moment of clarity
Harkened me to posterity
And I thought what a legacy to leave behind
"Can't we all find a way
To save this miserable day
And avoid a broken body for someone to find"
And then deep within my soul
I felt and heard a simple drum roll
And the differing sides of me just subsided
And with my mind now as one
I worked to get this all undone
The whole business of this stuff I derided
And tis now true of fact
That I survived this ordeal intact
And lived to raise my face unto the sky
And here now as it ends
I find I've made good friends
With the "Me", the "Myself," and the "I"
Thank you for taking the time to share in my poetry. Please feel free to leave your thoughts

J. Scott Burns...
Ballad of the poet
When the moon kissed the sun, and light spread upon the earth. *hh*
Bright and early,
early bird gets the worm.
With sullen time on stand by.... *DJ*"
Spurns emerald valleys that blur upon my new-found perch *J.M.G*
While all nature wakes from slumber in timeless glory. *E.G*
Morning glory stroked by a ceremonious dandelion... whisper~ *K.D*
Bitter like morning breath.
Rooster crows, two songs, I share a note with him.
My cat rises to the sun of a new day.
Stretches into a c with her tongue curled and tail furled *S.K.*
My coffee offers the sweetest taste after a goodbye kiss.
Clever and warm, I twinkle to the new morning light,
as I step outside, something pierced my heart..
~Wing broken, his bow in tow, arrows strewn,
~No flight for thee, love lost, bent arrows I see," *R.M*
Everything I see, everything I feel around me.
Becomes a new song.
Born of many emotions.
I roll them on a paper without a pen.
BUT! In my mind they speak clearly to me~
Look into My eyes with your heart... and there you will find your soul * R.A.D.*
"I hear an angel calling The beastly being within" *R.S*
A new creation awaits beyond the path of dreams content,
Eros and Cupid both shoot through my heart." *J.H.*
As the arrow's liquid enters my soul... *RON*
Will that winged creature with the bow and arrows stop blinking his eyes?" *R.P*
He has stretched his wings too far this time. *V.B.*
"His arrow of love is strumming my heart with golden grace. *L.M*
A Halo'd smile upon my face. * L.H*
Has suddenly turned to a grimace! *G.S.*

By Danielle CheesmanSpecial to MSN Music
Mayer Hawthorne is a self-described "control
freak." And so, after producing his first two albums himself (think: Motown- and
Mayfield-inspired sounds), letting some of that
creative control lie in the hands of producers like Pharrell, Jack Splash, John Hill and Greg Wells
for his third effort, "Where Does This Door Go" (think: additional Michael McDonald inspiration), was, admittedly, a
challenge. "It was frustrating for me for sure," Hawthorne says.
But the Michigan-born and bred singer isn't opposed to change. Beginning his
career as a hip-hop DJ — who began playing instruments and singing on his own
(despite not having any vocal training) to avoid paying for samples — Hawthorne
entered the industry as an artist only at the urging of Peanut Butter Wolf, head of indie label Stones
Throw Records (under which Hawthorne was signed until he joined Universal
Republic's roster). Soon after, he was honing his vocal chops on tour with the
likes of Amy Winehouse and receiving accolades from the
infamously temperamental Kanye West.
A single conversation with Hawthorne will afford you knowledge of his equal
affection for Barry White, Black Sabbath and the Beastie Boys, but he's much less likely to
categorize his own music, saying, "I don't even care what you wanna call it; you
can call it Bulgarian folk wave." Eh, we won't. We'd much rather define "Where
Did This Door Go" as a retro revival of summer soul.
MSN Music: At your Bowery Ballroom show, you closed with "Reach Out
Richard," which is about your father, who was also in the audience. How did he
react to hearing that song?
Mayer Hawthorne: I was really scared to play that for him. I kept that under
wraps for a long time. I just didn't know how he was gonna react to it; that's
an emotional song. It's about my dad picking me up from jail, which is not
really a moment that we love to talk about. He was definitely moved by it. He
was just glad that, uh, everything worked out. [Laughs]
Live Music blog: Mayer Hawthorne live
at the Bowery Ballroom
It was produced by Pharrell Williams.
Indeed, the man of the hour.
Did yours and his recording processes mesh in the
We definitely had some arguments. But I wanted to work with Pharrell because
I knew that we had similar tastes in music. We really bonded over our mutual
love of Steely Dan. I was definitely not used to having
somebody else tell me what to do, but if you're gonna give control up to
someone, let it be Pharrell. And, at the time, Daft Punk ["Get Lucky"] was not out, Robin Thicke ["Blurred Lines"] was not out, and
there were a lot of people that said, "Why do you wanna work with Pharrell? He
hasn't had a hit in 10 years." But I knew that he didn't care about
making hits; he wanted to make timeless music, which is what I'm always
What do you hope to achieve with this album?
I told all the producers that I wanted to make my "Thriller." And it didn't have anything to do with
what I wanted it to sound like; it was what it wanted it to feel like. I wanted
this to be the album that I would throw on if I had a party at my house. I
usually play Prince's "Dirty Mind" or Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle," a classic party record like that. It
was also music that was designed to be listened to on a boat. I grew up on Lake
Michigan, my dad had a boat and we'd go fishing and tubing. And the music that
we would listen to was music that made us feel good.
What is your first musical memory?
Man, my parents had a big record collection, and one of my earliest memories
in life is, before I could even walk, I remember crawling down the hallway in
their old house in Detroit and I had a record in my hand and I was scraping and
scratching it all up and I remember my mom meeting me at the end and being so
pissed. It was probably something like Blondie, "Heart of Glass" or Queen, "Another One Bites the Dust" or the Cars, "Just What I Needed." I remember having
all those 45s back in the day.
During the show, you also told a tale about receiving a tweet from Bootsy Collins. Was that true?
[Laughs] No. That's me putting it out in the universe. Maybe if I say it
enough, it'll really happen.
Well, what is the greatest compliment you've received from another
The guys from Nickelback called me a douchebag on national
Canadian television. That was one of my proudest moments. The biggest douchebag
in music calling me a douchebag. That was a really good indicator that I
was doing something right.
OK, so no collaboration with Nickelback on the horizon. Who would you
like to work with?
I would really love to do a song with Rihanna. I think she's incredible. I think she's
just come so far. And she really has become a great vocalist. I love her
attitude right now: She makes music for herself and doesn't care what anybody
else thinks. That's exciting to me.
Bing: More on Mayer Hawthorne
Do you feel you've finally come into your own as a
I think I've come a long way. I always think about this Marvin Gaye quote from this interview that he did
I think right when "What's Going On?" came out and he was one of the
biggest stars in the world and a super veteran vocalist at that point, and he
said, "I hope to become a good singer one day." [Laughs] That always stuck with
me. I just try to make sure that every time I get onstage or in the recording
booth that it's a little bit better than the last.
Who would fans be surprised to learn that you listen to?
Um, Helmet. They have an album called "Meantime"; it's
like super straight-edge hardcore; it's f---ing awesome. I love the Smashing Pumpkins; they're one of my favorite
bands. There's a really awesome punk band from Detroit called Negative Approach.
What's one musical trend or song you'd like to go away?
I am definitely not a fan of Auto-Tune. I just think it completely sucks the
emotions out of music. I would so much rather hear somebody sing off-key than
hear somebody sing perfectly with Auto-Tune. It's just not interesting to me.
Life is not perfect, so why should music be?
What is your theme song?
[Laughs] Oh man, I think my theme song definitely changes every week, but,
um, right now it's Barry White's "Playing Your Game, Baby."
If you had to listen to one artist for the rest of your life, who
would it be?
Just kill me.
What do you hope listeners do after hearing "Where Does This Door
Something positive. That's all, really.

Please select make, model and yearGuards-Skid Plates
Skid Plates and Under Armor Protetion
Scott in PA
This took a lot of time to install. The outer rocker panel bolts (4 on each side) should be a bit longer to allow them to catch the threads. I finally had to use a jack to force the edges up high enough for the bolts to catch the threads. The material is high quality and works great allowing the RZR to slide easily over downed trees and rocks.Read All Reviews
MICHAEL in NV
Riding in Nevada we have no shortages of rock gardens. The stock skid was getting pretty beat up and damaged the stock washers and bolts to the point I had to drill them out and add threaded inserts. Since the washers are like 5 bucks a piece there has to be a solution. This skid plate mounted easy and provides much better protection front to rear and side to side than the stock plate. I have hit a few rocks since the install and it protected the mounting bolts and washers (More recessed) and quiets the rock hits from underneath. It does have a couple of dents and scratches but nothing too serious. It does allow you to slide over obstacles much better than the stock plate. I'm glad I purchased it and although not cheap it gives greater peace of mind while driving through all the rock gardens we have and lets me enjoy the ride more with out feeling like I have to watch the trail for every little rock. Shipped fast. Rocky Mountain Excels at customer service.Read All Reviews
DANIEL in NJ
these have great protection from rocks, stumps, etc... my only issue is having to take off to clean due to mud and rock buildup inside due to the small gaps on each side. easy install. took maybe 5 min a side if thatRead All Reviews
James in PA
This skid fits very well on my Raptor 700r and is a great upgrade from the stock plastic unit. I mounted the plate and went for a ride and the plate vibrated very bad and caused a horrible noise. I purchased some sticky backed weather stripping from Lowes and added it to the unit where it came in contact with the underside of the ATV and I haven't had an issue since. The cutouts also make cleaning easier as the mud and dirt can fall through the bottom of the plate. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to upgrade their stock skid guard.Read All Reviews
Jamey in LA
These guards would work just find for anyone who rides in the desert or in rocky type trails. However, for anyone who rides in the mud, woods, or places where you have sticks or stubs that could damage your CV Boots, I highly recommend that you look elsewhere. These guards will not protect your CV Boots at all. They are not long enough to reach either set. (upper or lower)Read All Reviews
Sean in MD
Ran these on an 800s also. they fell off the 900 from hitting rocks where other guys we were with had no problems with a pro armor brand. They don't protect the cv boots. I ended up ripping one. Wish I could get my $ back...junkRead All Reviews

How do you follow up acts like visiting and consuming purchases at all 171 Starbucks locations in Manhattan in less than 24 hours, living and sleeping in an IKEA store for an entire week and setting a Guinness World Record by making a video series that features you staying on a commercial airplane for an entire month to get over your fear of flying? If you're Mark Malkoff, your next ploy is to jump in America's most fuel-efficient midsize sedan and embark on a 28-day quest to see how many mayors east of the Mississippi you can convince to give you keys to their cities.
Mark Malkoff is a comedian, writer and filmmaker who has been featured on The Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS Early Show, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, NPR and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He started his latest adventure in a 2010 Ford
Fusion Hybrid, and he says he hopes to earn 100 keys before his journey on Nov. 1.
"Mark came to us with the idea, and we loved it," said Jeffrey Eggen, manager, Ford Car Experiential Marketing. "It fits in well with our strategy to raise awareness of our new Ford vehicles by getting real customers behind the wheel and letting them tell their own story."
"I always tell people I feel like I'm driving KITT from 'Knight Rider' because of all the cool technology in the car," said Mark Malkoff. "It's the best car I've ever driven."
All of Malkoff's adventures behind the wheel of the Fusion Hybrid will be chronicled online. Videos, photos and blogs will be featured daily at www.markmalkoff.com,and Malkoff will provide interested followers with regular updates on social networking sites such as Twitter, Flickr and Facebook. You can view all of his content on our Ford on Blogs page by clicking here.
The Fusion Hybrid is America's most fuel-efficient midsize sedan, boasting EPA-estimated 41 mpg in the city.
Malkoff and the Ford Fusion Hybrid began their odyssey into the unknown Monday in Harrisburg, Pa., where the mayor had a somewhat peculiar task in store for him to complete in order to earn a key to the city.
"Apparently, all of the police officers ride on horses, so the mayor wanted me to follow them around and clean up after the horses in order to get the key," chuckled Malkoff, who readily admits he will do just about anything to get a key. "In Fairfax, Virginia, they want me to climb into their town fountain, collect all of the coins and donate them to charity because no one else wants to do it."
"Once people start finding out about this, mayors from all over the country are going to be Twittering me to come to their cities," he said. "I like doing things that on paper look almost impossible to pull off."

It's the end of the road for American Suzuki's car business. The company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Suzuki says they will stop selling automobiles in the United States as part of a restructuring plan. Instead, the company says it will focus on its motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and boat engines once it emerges from bankruptcy.
The company blames slow sales and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
The bankruptcy and reorganization are unrelated to Japan-based Suzuki Motor Corporation.

Museum Uses Beloved Bear's Pelt For Model
February 14, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
BERLIN, (UPI) — Berlin's natural history museum said an exhibit honoring beloved zoo polar bear Knut uses the animal's real pelt.
The museum said Knut, who died at the age of 4 in March 2011 when he suffered a seizure and drowned in his enclosure at the Berlin Zoo, will be honored with a full-size model covered in the bear's actual pelt, The Local.de reported Thursday.
"It's important to make clear we haven't had Knut stuffed," museum spokeswoman Gesine Steiner said. "It's an artistically valuable sculpture with the original fur."
Knut became one of Berlin's most popular celebrities when he was hand-raised by zookeepers as a tiny cub.
The tribute will go on display Saturday and remain in place for four weeks.
"We are creating an extra entrance into the museum solely for Knut visitors," Steiner said.

Comment: Re:hahaha (Score 3, Informative) 154
I had a friend who worked in the finance dept of a car dealership. People would spend 2 hours trying to wangle the best possible deal from the salesman, beat him down, get free floor mats, whatever. Then they would walk into my friends office. How does $400 a month sound for payments? OK sure. And in 2 seconds they would agree to a loan at 12% where the banks would have given them 5%. And the dealer would earn an extra $3k on the car loan.
I went into a dealer just about 3 weeks ago, told the salesman I wanted a new car, was trading in my truck, and wanted to spend no more than $130 a month over 3 years. He almost fainted and then basically called me crazy. The sales manager even tried to get me to lease a car instead of buying. Ended up walking out of there with a new car(end of the model year) for $125 a month for 3 years with $10,300 trade in on my truck (KBB value around $9900 and needed about $2k worth of work-not including some cosmetic body work) and $2k down. Think I end up paying about $300 in interest if I take all 3 years, but plan to pay it off sooner. I save more in gas than my monthly payments cost. The trick was knowing what we wanted and refusing to budge from it.

The Art of Mike DavisTattoo // Monday, September 03, 2012
With no formal art education under his belt, the considerable talent of artist and tattooist Mike Davis is all the more impressive. Beginning his tattoo career in 1988, in 1992 he started working at San Francisco's Everlasting Tattoo where he continues to work to this day. Although Davis' vivid tattoo style differs greatly from his lush oil paintings, both achieve a remarkable degree of technical and artistic excellence.

We fell in love with Blue Camp the second we walked in the door. From the incredible view of the lake, to the kayaks, bikes, paddle board, ping pong, and the huge screened-in porch, we couldn't have been happier. Blue Camp comes ready to go, virtually everything you'd need to have a stress-free, lake front vacation is provided. The view is so astounding, you'll be compelled to sleep on the porch just to wake up with the sun coming up over the lake and the mountains. The owner, John, is a wonderful host and responsive to any of your needs. The dock access is a huge plus for those with boats, we have family with boats and they were able to pick us up and drop us off right from the dock throughout our week long stay. There's a cute bagel shop, pizza, creemee parlor, and a convenience store about a half mile away. If you wanna go out for great food or nightlife, Burlington is about 15 minutes in a car or $12 for a cab. We give Blue Camp and A+ and can't wait to get back next summer!

Louisville – It less than two weeks many children in Jefferson County will be heading back to school. BRAG and Councilwoman Tina Ward-Pugh (D) 9 plan to help some student get ready for a new year.
On Thursday August 3rd, BRAG will be handing out back to school kits for the first 500 kids that show up at McDonalds's at 2314 Brownsboro Road.
"I encourage all residents of the Brownsboro Road area to come out and have some fun while we help some kids get ready for back to school," said Ward-Pugh.
BRAG stands for Brownsboro Road Area Giving. The group is made up of various businesses in the area who have joined together to raise money for deserving projects.

4 Bizarre Diets You Shouldn't FollowExperts have come up with a list of 'Bizarre' diets which we shouldn't follow in 2013.
By Anindita Gupta, IndiaTimes | November 27, 2012, 9:00 am IST
1 Party Girl IV Drip Diet
As the name suggests, the diet is very dangerous and unusual. Only offered in private clinics, bizarre Party Girl IV Drip Diet is an expensive diet as well. A high dose of vitamins and nutrients, usually given to the extremely malnourished and severely ill people, is given to the dieter via drips. Also known as a power boost, it hampers the natural functioning of the body to a large extent, as reported by Daily Mail.

What's next? We hope another Lifetime movie.
In February 2011, 'Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial in Italy' aired on Lifetime. Starring Hayden Panettiere and Marcia Gay Harden, the movie was typical Lifetime fare. There was drama, romance and violence and the Knox family wasn't too keen on it. In fact, they tried to have the movie blocked from air. But their efforts were unsuccessful, and the film was watched by 2.8 million viewers.
When the movie aired on Lifetime, the 'Heroes' star told AOL TV she did a copious amount of research, but didn't form an opinion on her guilt or innocence.
"I spent five weeks on this film talking about it, reading everything I could get my hands on, watching all this news footage, and I went so back and forth. I'd go, 'Oh, she's innocent, oh, she's guilty, oh, she's innocent,' and every little amount of new information that I acquired changed my mind," Panettiere said.
"So I feel like when you just see it from the outside and you don't really research it but you watch one version of it, then you might have an opinion, but when you really get into it and you really start reading the facts and you really educate yourself about it, it's very difficult to have one. It's very difficult to know," she said.
While the appeal wasn't as sexy as the original case, we'd be down for a Lifetime sequel. If that can't happen? Hello, 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.'
Tell us: Do you want to see a Lifetime movie sequel?

"It's a difficult thing being the muse, you only are as other people see you, you never really represent yourself because other people have always got the paintbrush..."
The role of a muse has changed quite dramatically since their origin in the myths of Ancient Greece. The sister goddesses who inspired new insights and creative form are a far cry from their modern counterparts, from Edie Sedgwick to Kate Moss.
Lauren Laverne meets three women who embody the changing figure of the muse during the last 200 years. Who are the individuals who inspired some of our most iconic works?
Lucinda Hawksley tells the sad story of 'Pre-Raphaelite supermodel' Elizabeth Siddal. A poet and painter herself, Siddal is most famous for gracing the work of a generation of Pre-Raphaelite painters including John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who became her husband.
Next Lauren talks to one of the most famous ballerinas of the twentieth century, Suzanne Farrell. Legendary choreographer George Balanchine created two dozen ballets for her. But her decision to marry someone else cost her position at the New York City Ballet. How did her artistic relationship with Balanchine endure?
Finally Lauren meets one of British fashion's most famous faces, Erin O'Connor. What qualities do our contemporary supermodels share with the original muses of antiquity?
By profiling three different women who have lit the touchpaper of another's creativity, we explore the dynamic between artist and muse, how these women have been defined by the work they inhabit, and how musedom has changed.
Produced by Rebecca Maxted and Jade Hutchinson.

After Top Gear had their way with the Noble M600, Fifth Gear also had the chance to drive the new Noble M600 supercar.
The Noble M600 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine with over 650 HP underneath the hood that's capable of pulling off a 0-60 mph in just under three seconds. The M600 can hit a top speed of 223 mph. Based on a tubular chassis and carbon fiber panels, the Noble M600 weights only 1275 kilograms. The car only comes with a six-speed manual transmission with no anti-lock brakes to go with it. Additionally, the car's traction control system can be deactivated, giving full control of the car to the hands and skills of the man sitting behind the wheel.
We almost forgot! If 650 HP is somehow too much for you, Noble is also offering 450 hp or 550 hp version.
Check out the video to see Jason Plato behind the wheel of the new Noble M600 supercar!

"I recently saw a Charlie Rose interview with John Lasseter, a founder of Pixar, about the creative process behind his movies. Pixar's in-house theory is: Be wrong as fast as you can. Mistakes are an inevitable part of the creative process, so get right down to it and start making them. Even great ideas are wrecked on the road to fruition and then have to be painstakingly reconstructed. "Every Pixar film was the worst motion picture ever made at one time or another," Lasseter said. "People don't believe that, but it's true. But we don't give up on the films.""
"The president prefers to have "decision" memos delivered to him with three checkboxes at the bottom that read: agree, disagree, or "let's discuss.""
How To Create Time:
1. Eliminate or reduce media
2. Work offline.
3. Do less.
4. Don't make appointments or schedule meetings.
5. Sleep in two shifts.
6. Make time less precious."

The Jamaica National Agency for Accreditation (JANAAC), after successfully completing a Peer Evaluation process, was accepted as a Signatory of the Inter-American Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), effective 18th and 31st August 2013, respectively. The achievement means that JANAAC is now an internationally recognized accreditation authority, having signed the IAAC Multilateral Recognition Arrangements (MLA) and the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA).
ILAC is the apex of the global accreditation mechanism, being the international authority on laboratory accreditation. Its membership consists of accreditation bodies and stakeholder organizations representing over 70 economies and regional organizations. Once accepted into the ILAC MRA, members can enter into a license arrangement to use the official ILAC-MRA Mark along with their own accreditation Symbol, known as a Combined MRA Mark. Accreditation bodies and their accredited labs who sub-license the Mark may enjoy the benefit of promoting their accreditation as internationally recognized. Laboratories that are accredited by JANAAC would therefore benefit from a competitive edge internationally, made possible by having the Combined MRA Mark that facilitates the acceptance of their test/calibration reports in any other signatory country around the world.
As a Signatory to the ILAC MRA, JANAAC is committed to maintain its operations in conformity with the current version of the ISO/IEC 17011 Standard. The Standard outlines the general requirements for bodies providing assessment and accreditation of Conformity Assessment Bodies. Importantly, JANAAC is also obligated to ensure that all laboratories that it accredits, comply with appropriate laboratory standards- ISO 15189: Medical Laboratories- Particular requirements for quality and competence and ISO/IEC 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
JANAAC continues to be a trailblazer, solidifying its competence in the field of quality assurance and conformity assessment; re-positioning Jamaica for even greater, more robust benefits from international trade; and providing added confidence in the domestic marketplace.
Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Hon. Anthony Hylton, has expressed the view that laboratory accreditation should be mandatory, as is done in other territories.
"I think the time has come for us to begin to consider this... the risks are too great," the Minister emphasised. Currently, labs voluntarily seek out accreditation.
Mr. Hylton was speaking on Tuesday, 25th June 2013, at the presentation of an accreditation certificate to Biomedical Caledonia Medical Laboratory, the first medical lab to receive the Jamaica National Agency for Accreditation's (JANAAC's) stamp of approval.
Accreditation refers to the process by which an authoritative body, such as JANAAC, grants formal recognition that a Conformity Assessment Body is competent, based on specific international standards and practices, to carry out particular services:

Hey Everyone,
We've had a really busy week. As the summer heats up, so has business for us. We've been thrilled with our launch into Central PA. I'm heading out to Allentown on Thursday for an event at Tavern on Liberty from 7-9pm. Please come out and say hi.
Also, we've been busy brewing our lineup of Pumpkin beers. As mentioned previously, we're going to be doing three Pumpkin beers this year. It's amazing that Pumpkin beer season has gotten longer and longer, with most breweries delivering Pumpkin beers in early August.
We've begun to work with the winner of our Blind Eye PA Hop Contest on our collaboration beer for the fall. Stay tuned for more into.
Finally, we'll be attending the brewfest at the Philadelphia Zoo on Saturday night. Tickets are still available so get them now before they sell out. See you on Saturday.

Zach Farmer Fighting Leukemia
Piketon graduate and OSU freshman baseball standout Zach Farmer is hospitalized with what a family member confirms is leukemia.
The Ohio State University is confirming that doctors have diagnosed Farmer with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and will miss the rest of the season. Farmer had been ill for about a week, before the diagnosis.
Farmer was a three-time high school baseball All American at Piketon, along with being a stand-out basketball player. He is in his freshman season as a pitcher for the Ohio State Buckeyes, where he had several good performances before becoming ill.
Follow-up information states that a bone marrow transplant is being sought for Zach and that he will require chemo treatments during his six-week stay in the hospital.

Ladies Room Fashion Show. Week of February 21st.
Hello my loves! I'm back again with this week's work clothes line-up. Can you believe it's Friday already? I'm not complaining or anything, but seriously, how did it get here so fast?!?
Alright, let's get this show on the road.
Monday (On my front porch because I left work early for a midwife appointment) This outfit isn't my favorite by a long shot, but it was super comfortable. It feels very "mom-ish" to me.
Cardigan: Forever21
Dress: Maternity hand-me-down (I forgot to check the label to see where it's from)
Belt: This gorgeous vintage belt buckle once belong to my GodMother's grandma. Her name was Alderetta (how fabulous!) and I sewed it to a piece of elastic and wear it constantly
Shoes: Steve Madden about a thousand years ago. The wedge, t-strap, and mixed metallics have made them a classic go-to shoe for atleast 4 years now.
Booo! The cold weather came back. Seriously, did mother nature not get the memo from Mr. Groundhog. I want my spring and I want it now!
Floral Tunic: Target (an old staple from my EV maternity wardrobe)
Crochet Vest: Forever21
Braided Belt: Vintage
Jeans: Gap Skinny Maternity
Boots: Vintage Zodiac. I bought these boots in college and got into a bidding war for them on ebay. I wanted them BAD but I was making next to nothing as a waitress. With a little encouragement from my room mates, I wound up bidding all the way up to $100 for them which was WAY more than I should have spent (or could really afford) at the time but the investment proved worthy as I've worn them for years and years.
Wednesday This was my favorite outfit of the week. A coworker told me I looked like I could be in the movie Beetlejuice, which made me laugh. I felt very circus-y and kept wishing I could get away with wearing a little top hat.
Sweater: Forever21
Skirt: Asos
Belt: Vintage (I dug it out of a big bin of leather belts at Held Over on Haight St)
Tights: H&M - and probably the last time I can wear them until next fall. They have gotten too tight for this baby bump!
Shoes: Seychelles. My mama bought me these maryjanes for my birthday a few years ago from a little shoe boutique in the Castro. I wear them constantly!
Vintage Sailboat Pin: I've been wracking my brain to figure out where I got this! Was it a gift? A family hand-me-down? A little goody from our old next door neighbor Mike, who used to run a vintage shop in Lower Haight and was always giving us random trinkets? Any of the above are a possibility!
No Photo Available! I worked from home in yoga pants and Brent's old Che Guevara t-shirt plus a really ratty ponytail. I was such a raggamuffin last night that Brent actually said to me "Honey, you should really take a shower" hahaha. yikes!
Friday It's nearly 70 degrees outside and I keep debating taking these tights off.
Cardigan: Forever21
Top: H&M
Vintage Flamingo buckle Rope Belt: Bluebird
Skirt: Made by Woo. Another EV pregnancy wardrobe staple that I've pulled out again. I bought it at a little boutique in Hayes Valley after a brunch date with some of my girlfriends. I love the color, the length, the big pockets and the stretchy waistband.
Tights: Target. ahhhh, I can breath! Atleast this pair still fit.
Shoes: Qupid. go-to black work wedges.
Another work week on it's way out the door! What are your plans for the weekend?

Newseum Named Best Museum off the Mall by City Paper Readers
The Newseum is proud and excited to be named the Best Museum off the Mall in the Washington City Paper's Best of D.C. Reader Poll for 2014! One reader, as reported in the final results of the poll, said of the top-choice museum: "I visit the Newseum every time I visit my sister in DC. I spend hours there every time; the exhibits just pull me in."
"Anchorman: The Exhibit," on display at the Newseum through August 31, also received a nod as a runner-up in the Best Exhibit category.
Our thanks to readers of the Washington City Paper for voting and sharing their enthusiasm for the Newseum!
