Dan took the kids fishing last weekend before he went to Houston for 2 weeks. While they were out Ethan actually caught a fish on his Spiderman fishing pole! The fish wasn't huge, but it was large enough that his little pole couldn't reel it in! So, Dan had to pull it in by the line. He was fairly timid about holding it, so there were NO pictures of him at the lake holding it because he was to scared of it moving. The best part was when Dan went to gut the fish Ethan was devastated.
Ethan: "Daddy NO! My fishy!" while getting a little upset.
Dan:"Ethan it's okay buddy I have to do this so that we can eat it for dinner."
Ethan:"No fishy, No fishy...MINE daddy MINE." the tears beginning to fall.
Dan:"It's okay Ethan why don't you come and help me."
Ethan (tears flowing): "No, no, no daddy my fishy. Please my fishy."
Dan got it all cleaned up and put the kids in the car and Ethan fell asleep on the way home. When he woke up, Dan was gone a he started to sob while saying words that I did not understand. He wanted his fishy. So, me being kind of nice pulled it out of the freezer to show him that we still had it. He wanted to hold it and so I took a few pictures of his happy face. He was VERY proud of himself.
We survived Halloween!!.....Barely!!

We offer a professional gutter vacuum cleaning service, which can be undertaken on its own, or in conjunction with a roof or house wash to your property.
One of the main causes of mold on gutters or stained gutters is that gutters are full of leaves and debris, which block the flow of water. This allows dirty water to escape the gutters via the overflow outlets subsequently staining and leaving mold on the house fascia, walls etc.
If water is left pooling in the gutters, over time this will result in rotting of the gutters and possible rotting of the roof structure.
Our cleaning specialists will ensure the gutters are clean allowing the maximum volume of water can flow quickly and easily away from your roof, providing you with hassle free and inexpensive maintenance for your home.
We vacuum clean gutters. By using a gutter vacuum system, not only does it remove leafs and loose debris, it also removes sludge and water, leaving your gutters clear. Everything we collect from your gutters is vacuumed directly into our system. All collected waste is deposited in environmentally friendly, biodegradable waste bags, which we take away and dispose of appropriately.
In addition to the gutters being emptied, our service also includes for the removal of any leafs and debris in the water flow valleys on the roof that lead to the gutters. Simply, there is no point in cleaning just the gutters if next time it rains, debris from the roof is going to flow straight into the gutters.
We recommend that gutter cleaning should be carried out at least once a year and ideally more frequently if you live in a heavily leafed area.
Ideally, if you can have your gutters cleaned once in Autumn to catch the seasonal leaf falling and once in Spring, ready for the Summer storms, you will be well on your way to providing your home with the best protection from dirty gutters.
Gutter Cleaning. Outstanding results. Fast and reliable service 7 days a week. All suburbs. Family business. Free advice.

Comeback Kid - Ottawa Magazine
Another illustration for Ottawa Magazine. This image was created for the article Comeback Kid. It's a very interesting article about Merlot wine and how it has come in and out of popularity over the years. Currently, it's in. Jane, my awesome art director, suggested we use the classic Aesop fable about the crow and the pitcher to bring life to the illustration. The reason: the word Merlot is a derivative of the word merle which is French for blackbird. They figure it was called that for one of two reasons — because the grapes are dark blue/black like the colour of blackbirds, or because blackbirds love to eat the grapes!

Dundee Wealth - Investing for Your Future
Back in September I was asked to complete a series of illustrations for Dundee Wealth. The images were focused at the encouragement of contacting an investment advisor to help plan your future. The three images are a narrative of uncertainty, assistance, and planning. A big thanks to Tracy Symington for presenting me with this awesome project.

The Feathertale Review - Patrick deWitt Portrait
Back in November I was asked to complete a black and white illustration for The Feathertale Review. I was so excited for this project because I have always wanted to do work for this magazine. It's truly a one of kind publication and I'm so happy to have been a part of it.
For this assignment I was asked to do a portrait of author Patrick deWitt. He is most famously known for writing the critically acclaimed novel The Sisters Brothers. It's a western themed novel that is about two brothers who are murderers for hire. If you are unfamiliar with the author I hope my illustration will help you remember his face. I find his features are very unique/memorable.
This is the cover of the magazine.
Here's a peak of the inside.
A big thanks to Lee Wilson and Brett Popplewell.

Winter Village - Commission
Back in December I was commissioned to create a winter village scene. I really didn't want to make it look too Christmas-y so I made sure to leave out any holiday lights/decorations.

I'm aiming for 150 books in 2017, two more than I read in 2016. Not that strenuous!
The reasoning behind the magic number of 150 is a different challenge: Mount TBR 2017. I participated (joining waaaay late) in 2016 and set myself the lowest challenge level, Pike's Peak, a mere 12 books.
This year, suit me up, because I'm going to Mount Olympus (Mars) with 150 books!
Yes, I have over 150 owned-but-unread books to plow through. Thanks to free Kindle books and numerous secondhand sales, I actually have over 300. It's out of hand.
In the spirit of tackling the massive TBR, I'm also participating in Beat the Backlist 2017, which is another variable-difficulty challenge. I picked 40 books out of my TBR that I absolutely will read in 2017. No matter what else gets read, these are getting crossed off the list. I chose books that finish series I've started (notably the Outlander, Sandman, and Dark Tower series,) series I have but haven't gotten to yet (Fionavar Tapestry, Study) and a few notable books that have been hanging around which I've heard great things about and want to get to soon.
Finally, the only task-oriented challenge I intend to do in 2017: the PopSugar Reading Challenge. Last year's was 40 books, and this year it is again, with an optional 12-book "Advanced" section. Which I am doing, of course.
I already have most of the tasks assigned, and I've started already with my first book of the year yesterday.
Honestly, last year the three task-based challenges became overwhelming, as I whittled down each challenge to books I wasn't truly excited about–then reading felt like a chore. With only one of those types, plus a self-assigned reading list I am excited about and a free-for-all "Read Your Own Damn Books" challenge, I'll never lack for choices of what to read next, without feeling forced into reading anything that doesn't appeal!

Forgiving or punishing the terrorists is left to God. But, fixing their appointment with God is our responsibility
*Update: Manish pointed out to me in the comments section that this statement was not made by Indian Army. So, I am removing the "well said" part from post. But no matter who ever said that, I wish Indian Army adopts this philosophy. I am sure they are doing everything in their power to maintain peace in our country. And my prayers are with them.

My scripture this 1/2 of the month is:
Psalm 73:26
My mind and my body may grow weak, but God is my strength; He is all I ever need.
I NEED this verse this week...I have grown tired and weary and need God's strength and for Him to lift me out of this pit.
Do you ever wonder what brings on sadness...loneliness...depression. You seem to be going along doing ok and then its like a dark cloud just moves over top and refuses to move on and let the sun come back out. Makes no sense to me.
One thing I know is that God is my refuge and my strength and no matter what else, He is here with me, even if I can't feel Him.
So for those of you who aren't on top of your game this week, here's to you and to me, may God be our strength and let His Son shine thru quickly in our lives.

Proverbs 15:15
All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.
I really needed this verse a few weeks back. I prayed God would give me one and He did!!!
I LOVE yours....I don't think I have ever read that one.
How are you doing these days?

This week I participated in my Toastmaster International's club speech competition and I came in second place. I was surprised that I wasn't extremely disappointed. As one of my favorite quotes from an episode of The Golden Girls goes, "You know, that would have devastated the old me, but the new me? Just an emotional owie!"
I tell my son everyone wants to win, but since we all can't, it's how you handle losing that makes all of the difference.Sure, I would have liked to have won and gone onto the next level of competition. Did my losing sour my resolve to try again? Absolutely not! I identified the areas I need to improve and will compete in the next competition in the fall. I also found myself focusing what I had accomplished.
The person I competed against is a professional speaker, so I'm getting out of my comfort zone and strengthening my speech-delivery muscles. After the competition, a few people told me they really enjoyed my speech, so hopefully my speech's content touched their hearts. Also, someone told me, in true Olympic fashion, that I was bringing home the silver--that's nothing to be sneezed at!

Futures hold higher after data; oil eyed
U.S. stock index futures indicated a higher open on Friday as traders eyed data and the price of oil. Dow futures held earlier gains of more than 100 points after the second read on fourth-quarter gross domestic product showed a 1.0 percent rise. Final consumer sentiment for February is due later in the morning. On the earnings front, Foot Locker, JC Penney and Sotheby's posted results Friday. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei closed up 0.30 percent, while the Shanghai Composite in China closed 0.95 percent higher. In Europe, the pan European Stoxx 600 Index was up by around 1.97 percent on Friday morning. Crude oil prices reversed early losses on Friday, with Brent on track for its first weekly gain in a month, as strong U.S. gasoline demand and hopes of OPEC action outweighed concerns over fundamental oversupply. Brent crude futures rose $1.42, or 4 percent, to $36.71 per barrel at 8:41 a.m. ET (1341 GMT), about $2 above an intraday low of $34.73. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were up $1.17, or 3.5 percent, at $34.24 a barrel, off a low of $32.76. Futures extended gains after government data showed U.S. economic growth slowed in the fourth quarter, but not as sharply as initially thought. Gold edged higher on Friday despite a rebound in stocks, underscoring support for the safe-haven asset from bullish technicals and money flows into exchange traded funds. Asian shares rose following a firmer finish on Wall Street and as investors awaited a meeting of the Group of 20 finance leaders that will likely offer reassuring words, but little in the way of actual policy stimulus. Spot gold gained 0.1 percent to $1,235.21 an ounce.

A mouse in the house does not make for a happy house.
Tonight, Matt was a hero and I, well, I discovered a few things.
1. I am not a good mouse catcher.
2. I am not a very good mouse-catcher-assistant.
3. My husband is amazing.
4. We will be calling someone tomorrow to come make sure all of the mice are gone.
5. Make sure you clean behind your refrigerator every once in a while...
At approximately 9:00 pm my evening became very exciting. I encountered a mouse (gasp!) in the bathroom. And yes I gasped but at least I did not scream. He bobbed I weaved. He weaved I bobbed. He ran away. I ran away. I made an attempt to be brave and ran to the kitchen to get tupperware to catch it but as I stood at the doorway of the bathroom I knew I couldn't do it. So I called Matt and asked him to come home (he was at church). We searched for that mouse but to no avail and I knew I wouldn't sleep a wink tonight.
Then, Matt heard a sound behind the refrigerator. Matt moved it, no mouse. We started to clean a little (you can not pull a refrigerator away from a wall and ignore the mess behind it) when Matt said he got it!! The mouse had been hiding in a corner of the kitchen the entire time!! So as Matt went to set the captive free (far, far away from the Happy Hale House) I continued to clean around the refrigerator. And then I encountered another mouse. There were more gasps, more bobbing and weaving and another phone call to Matt. "Please come back!" And we still can't find the mouse. Somewhere...in my house...is a mouse. I saw it. And I don't know where it is. Lord please help me.
Below is a picture of the first mouse Matt caught.
Little mouse, you might be a little cute but my home is not your home. Please inform your family members, friends, acquaintances, and any strange mice you come across in your life. The Happy Hale House is not a happy place for mice. Thank you.
Happy night to you all. I hope your homes are mice free.

All sentient beings are in slumber,
dreaming the dream called "Ego",
lost in the fantasy of selfishness,
knowing only all concept of "me" and "mine."
Through shamatha, the mind is becalmed.
In this calm state of mind, who is it
that observes carefully each moment?
Thinking "I observe", we are asleep
and are caught in the dream of Ego.
When carefully observing the stream
of consciousness, all thought of "I"
is gone, gone, gone — all that is
left behind is Bodhi Mind, aspiring
for the samadhi of Awakened Mind.
For the Awakened Mind lacks Ego,
and this Egolessness is empty of Ego.
Awaken to Mindfulness, and truly see
the splendor of the Awakened Mind.
Let go of all concept of me and mine!
Be embraced by Emptiness —
Awakened Mind is Bodhi Mind,
Bodhi Mind is mindful only of Awakening.
Abide in Awakening, and be free to be.
For this is the true essence of Mindfulness.

Um, how have I never thought of this before? I got the idea from here. What an easy way to give a simple grilled cheese sandwich a twist.
All you do is butter one side of two slices of bread. Put a slice of cheddar cheese, a few thin slices of granny smith apples, another slice of cheese in between the bread slices (buttered sides out). Then, fry it in small frying pan! Voila! It was great!


text: Part of our life as human is leisure. The purpose of this is to recharge and refresh our whole being; the physical, spiritual, and mental aspect of it. But putting more focus to leisure sometimes divert our attention into it. Leisure can be done indoor and outdoor, the games we play are leisure. Sometimes we put more time and focus to leisure, especially if we believe in this line, "Do anything that will make you happy." It is good if that thing that will make us happy will lead us into success or will help us get rich. But if the thing that will make you happy will lead you into poverty, forget about it. Of course, we don't aspire and plan to live in poverty.

Erin Riley-Lopez
After five and a half years at the Bronx Museum of the Arts (BxMA), Erin Riley-Lopez left in December to become a freelance independent curator. The part-time Jersey City resident is as capable organizing a large-scale exhibition as she is writing about artists for Art:21, riding a mechanical bull on the Lower East Side, or cutting up the dance floor in the Bronx. We recently caught up with Riley-Lopez as she made some final preparations for a new exhibition she's curated at the Center for Worker Education, which is part of the City College of New York. The show, called Untitled, features the work of photographers Jimmy Fountain and Catherine Kunkemueller; it opens this Thursday in Lower Manhattan.
"Their photographs are formal shots of interiors and exteriors," Riley-Lopez says of the show. "Both photographers capture these seemingly banal spaces — offices, kitchens, storefronts, hotel rooms, etc. — but they do it with this amazing sense of silence and contemplation and I loved the idea of juxtaposing their work with the busy hustle and bustle of a school."
What is an art curator, what role does she play in a museum or gallery, and what are the day-to-day responsibilities?
Well the definition of an art curator varies depending on the position and/or institution one works for. At museums, curators organize exhibitions and if there is a permanent collection they might be responsible for its care as well as acquisitions. They might also be responsible for programming, residency programs, etc. I can give you a better idea of what I specifically did on a day-to-day basis, which might not necessarily reflect what all curators do.
At BxMA I oversaw the Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) program, which meant working with 36 new artists every year including curating the annual exhibition and writing the catalogue essay. I worked with the permanent collection, along with the registrar, which meant making sure that temperature/humidity control in Fine Art Storage was stable; I also worked with the Acquisitions committee to organize their meetings; kept up with the paperwork for acquisitions and the electronic database, etc. I assisted with coordinating the traveling and guest curated exhibitions. And, I dealt with a lot of the administration of the curatorial office; answering research questions about the museum's exhibition history, the permanent collection, etc.; answering emails, phone calls, questions, etc; making sure things were properly filed, documented, etc. Those were my responsibilities in a nutshell.
Where do you find artists that you work with — referrals, happenstance, websites, online registries, studio visits?
I find artists that I work with in a myriad of different ways. The AIM program introduced me to a lot of artists each year, many of whom I still keep in touch with and work with today. I often meet artists at openings, parties, and events because someone introduces them to me. I meet artists through other colleagues either by introduction or recommendation. I also look a lot! I regularly attend open studios/exhibitions for residency programs like Smack Mellon, Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council to name a few. And I am constantly attending openings or going to see shows while they are up, which is also a good way to find artists I might not have been familiar with before. I did find an artist once through a registry. And, I do many studio visits.
Blanka Amezkua, Chitra Ganesh, and Anne Timmons were three of the artists you featured in your exhibition There Goes My Hero at Center for Book Arts. How do you choose an artist to work with, and what are you looking for in them and their work?
I don't know that I am always looking for the exact same thing in an artist each time I curate an exhibition. Obviously, first and foremost their work has to fit the concept of the exhibition and has to be resolved.
You have curated numerous exhibitions — How Soon Is Now?; Here and Elsewhere; When Living Was Labor. What does it take to get an exhibition off the ground, from conception to development to execution?
Well, it takes time, patience, multi-tasking, and organization! For example, right now, I am working on four shows and juggling all of them as they are in different stages of development. I am finalizing and installing one show in a few weeks. I am also currently in the research and writing phase for two others. And, about to do studio visits for the fourth one. When I worked at BxMA we would create production timelines for the shows. We would work backwards from the date the show opened and put in deadlines for each separate thing that needed to happen to get the exhibition installed including print, writing, and checklist deadlines as well as installation and preview dates. As an independent curator now it helps for me to keep a timeline and set deadlines for myself to keep on track. You have to be flexible though because there can be minor roadblocks along the way.
What are the advantages of being a curator?
The advantage of being a curator is that I get to contribute to the cultural landscape of New York and work with artists and colleagues in the industry whom I admire and learn from.
What are the disadvantages?
There aren't any disadvantages. I love my job.
What artists do you find particularly fascinating today, and why?
Well, strangely enough, Alexander Calder fascinates me at the moment. I have always loved his work, particularly his mobiles. I was a dancer when I was younger, and I've always been very interested in movement, which is why I love his mobiles. But, to be honest, I do not know that much about his biography or the rest of his oeuvre. So, I think I'll be researching it for a while.
Where do you look at art?
I look at art everywhere, museums, galleries, the street, studios, books, magazines, websites.
Let's discuss looking at art in a museum. You walk into an art museum, what is the first thing you do, and why? Do you look for the wall text adjacent to the work? Do you use the audio support? Do you participate in a guided tour of the exhibition? Do you just look at the work, with your own eyes, and ruminate — or not? Is there a right way or wrong way to experience art?
This is a good question because everyone looks at art differently.
Generally, the first thing I do when walking into any museum show is to sort of survey the entire thing (if I can). I do this to kind of take in the whole picture. Once I've done that I tend to focus on the details, for example — and I think this is because I've worked in a Museum — I look at what kind of wall labels the institution is using and how they are applied; whether the walls have been freshly painted or if there are nicks, scratches, and dirt on them; I look at pedestals, vitrines, hanging devices, and equipment to see how other institutions install these materials; I also notice the guards to see if they're watching the people in the space or not; and I also look at other people to see how they are looking.
I usually scan the wall text just to get an idea of the scope of the show, but I rarely stand there and read the whole thing. I do read wall labels occasionally if I want to know more about a particular artist or piece of work. I've never taken an audio tour, but perhaps I should sometime. I've only participated in guided tours when I went to see an exhibition in grad school or someone else organized one.
There is no right or wrong way to view art. It is a completely personal and subjective experience. I often go see shows with my sister and she tends to spend a very long time with each work, whereas I don't. Sometimes I get frustrated that it takes her so long when I am ready to move on, but I respect her time.
That is such a specific example, but no, I have never fondled or touched an artwork in a museum other than artwork at BxMA that I was handling with white cotton gloves while installing. Touching artwork is something I am very opinionated about. I've even had nightmares about it! Mostly because the idea of ruining artwork is horrible, and we all know that the oils from our hands can alter a work. I have never been removed from a museum by force. However, I was once told to back away from a Gordon Matta-Clark sculpture at the Whitney because my foot had accidentally stepped over (by a toe!) the strip of tape on the floor meant to keep people from being too close to the work. I, of course, complied, but also thought it was funny.
You have one foot in Jersey City and the other in Brooklyn. Where is your head?
Ha! Everywhere! I am usually in about two to three boroughs of the city on a given day. I'm kind of nomadic that way. I'm constantly on the move. I'm a Sagittarius. We like to travel.
You lived in France, and I've seen it on TV. What is the best place to get a café and croissant in Jersey City?
There are two places in JC that I love to frequent for their French flair and fare, Madame Claude and Marco & Pepe, but don't know that I've had a croissant at either.
What are you working on next?
In late June I'll be curating the artist-in-residence exhibition of Artists Alliance at CUCHIFRITOS Art Gallery/Project Space. At the end of March 2011 I will be guest curating an exhibition AIR Gallery. An AIR fellow invited me to guest curate an exhibition called Privacy Please! about private grooming and beauty rituals in art. It will be an open call so the work and artists have not been chosen for the show yet. And lastly, I am working on an exhibition at the Bronx River Art Center for 2011. It's going to be a show whose concept I have been working on for nearly 5 years now about feminist video and performance, particularly artists who embody characters to discuss personal and collective histories.

When CI isn't mainstream but you know it's worth it...
This is from a description of how literacy developed in mid 1500's England as the result of the first English Bible becoming available in print following the martyrdom of William Tyndale who was responsible for much of this. CI will perhaps always be led and practiced by passionate people in remote corners who grasp its value as an article of faith. Also interesting metaphor for CI literacy and how it grows when people see the light for themselves.
"It was a wonderful thing to see. Whoever possessed the means, bought the book and read it or had it read to him by others. Aged persons learnt their letters in order to study the...scriptures. In many places there were meetings for reading; poor people dubbed their savings together and purchased a (copy), and then in some remote corner of the church, they formed a modest circle, and read (it) between them. A crowd of men, women, and young folks, disgusted with the barren pomp of the altars, and with the worship of dumb images, would gather round them to taste the precious promises...God himself spoke under the arched roofs of those old chapels or time-worn cathedrals, where for generations nothing had been heard but masses and litanies." (History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin, pub 1880 by J. H. Merle D'Aubigne)

1. The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope, Rhonda Riley (audio): BOTNS recommendation. I should have liked it...I guess? It's billed as an unusual love story, and it definitely falls in the fantasy genre. I adored Evelyn at the beginning...and I adored the rural farm setting. Addie/Adam was an interesting idea. All of this is stuff I should have enjoyed...but I just didn't. It felt like a bit too much, and I found myself rolling my eyes rather than invested.
2. A Constellation of Vital Phenomenon, Anthony Marra: Usually BOTNS does 2 major book recommendations at the end of each episode...but this book is so magnificent that they did just the one to draw greater attention to it. With such an endorsement, I purchased it immediately...and I'm so very glad I did. Amazing, simply amazing....deeply sad, and yet with a tale of hope and redemption. This is my must-read recommendation of the month.
3. The House of Gentle Men, Kathy Hepinstall: This book was a recommendation by a good friend, and I am glad I read it. It's a curious book, based around a central idea that is truly unique. My one big complaint is that the ending came very abruptly. It felt as if the author had just decided one day she was done and that is that. I understand that in life we don't always get answers....but this was a bit on the extreme.
4. The Absent Woman, Marlene Lee: Lee is a local writer who was brought to my attention by the same friend. Unfortunately, this book suffered from the circumstance that it happened to be what I was reading during the lead up to Tanith's surgery...and thus I was really not so inclined to relate to the protagonist in any way, shape or form as she's left her husband and kids to find herself. This is the sort of book that relates a slice of real life...in which there is little in the way of what we normally think of as plot, but much in the examination of human story in all it's messy, unfinished glory.
5. Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine: Post surgery I raided my eldest child's bookshelf for reading material as we all recovered from the stress and anxiety. I have to admit, I'm a sucker for a Cinderella retelling, and Levine's book is a classic. I just can't believe I hadn't read it before!
6. A Tale Dark & Grimm, Adam Gidwitz: I talked Gillian into buying this book after Gidwitz came to my attention through a now forgotten media source. This is a super fun book that takes several fairy tales back to their bloody, bloody true roots. There are lots of winks and nudges to the reader, and some gems of true wisdom sprinkled throughout. Need to track down the sequel!
7. Orange is the New Black, Piper Kerman (audio): Kerman is getting a lot of press right now because her memoir has been turned into a Netflix series that a lot of people are talking about. Kerman - who is a well-educated, blue-eyed, blond, upper middle class woman - spent a year in federal prison over a decade old drug offense, and her memoir of that time is both fascinating and eye opening.
8. Emma Smith: An Elect Lady, Susan Easton Black: I am currently taking some classes through my church, and this book was recommended by my teacher as a good entry point to learn more about church history. It was a quick and easy read (maybe a couple of hours) and was totally engrossing. Told through a question and answer style, Black focuses on historical fact...and not emotional/spiritual speculation. It's a tough story to put together because Emma did not leave behind much in the way of personal writing.
9. The Lacuna, Barbara Kingsolver: I bought this book from the iBooks sale page quite some time ago, basing my purchase solely on the reputation of the author. I don't even think I really knew what it was about. Then Frida and Diego came to the Nelson Atkins Museum for the summer. I went to see the exhibit a couple of weeks ago, and was surprised to see copies of this book in the gift shop at the end of the day alongside other books related to the exhibit. Silly me. The book is all about a writer who becomes a confidant and friend of Frida. It feels a little bit Forrest Gumpish....a person who just happens to be in the right place at the right time...repeatedly. However, it is beautifully written and is the sort of book that sent me running repeatedly to do some research about the paintings, people and events in the story. I won't say that I enjoyed it. As with Frida's art, the book was a bit too sad and troubling to have been a 'fun' read. It was lovely, though.

All input is most welcome

Also, supposedly the Meijer here in Coldwater has 8 NASCAR simulators.

I'll also meet Dad and Vicki somewhere for dinner Saturday—I'm thinking either Neptune's or Monroe Street Station. It'll be a pretty good weekend.

Evesham Wood Pinot Noir Eola Amity 2008
Winemaker's Notes:
"Deep red with a bright rim. Intensely perfumed aromas of black raspberry, dried rose, allspice and cola. Silky in texture and impressively deep in dark fruit and candied floral flavors, with notes of cola and star anise adding power. This is really complex, especially for a "basic" wine. Silky tannins build on the finish, adding structure without distracting from the sweet, sappy fruit. This is alluringly seamless and complex but I'll bet it will be even better with a few years of bottle age. About 80% of this fruit came from the Temperance Hill vineyard...91" IWC 07/10

Chandrakantaraj Urs, J.
1. This reference made under S. 54 of the Karnataka Stamp Act, 1957, (hereinafter referred to as the Act) by the Chief controlling Revenue Authority under Act, gives rise to the following question which falls for determination:
'Whether the document in question namely, the instrument of General Power of Attorney executed by the petitioner, constituting Canara Bank, Tumkur, as her attorney in respect of matters specified in the document is one falling under Entry 41 (c) or (e)?'
2. The petitioner is a hotel owner at Tumkur and she applied for a loan of Rs. 1,50,000/- to the Canara Bank, Gurappa Choultry Road, Tumkur Branch against the security of the schedule property set out in the document in question. The said Bank required the petitioner to execute an irrevocable power of attorney in addition to any other security which might have been taken from the petitioner. When the document was presented for registration, it was impounded for not being duly stamped under S. 33 of the Act. The Sub-Registrar, Tumkur, before whom it was presented for registration purporting to act under S. 39 of the Act, treating the document as a deed of mortgage with possession, as per his Order No. 1/77-78 dated 3-9-1977, levied stamp duty of Rs. 8,305/- and a penalty of Rs. 6,805/- directing the petitioner to pay the same within 15 days. Aggrieved by the Order of the Sub-Registrar (also invested with the power of Deputy Commissioner under the Act), the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Chief Controlling Revenue Authority.
3. The petitioner was given an opportunity by the Chief Controlling Revenue Authority to put forward her case. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioner, the Chief Controlling Revenue Authority passed an order holding that the power of attorney in question was an irrevocable power of attorney executed for consideration and therefore liable to stamp duty under Entry 41(e) of the Schedule to the Act. On the request of the petitioner, the Chief Controlling Revenue Authority has made this reference under S. 54 of the Act to this Court with a statement of the case.
4. Shri P. R. Srinivasan learned counsel for the petitioner before us has strongly urged that the loan was advanced against other security offered by the petitioner and it is only at the instance of the Bank that the power of attorney was executed and there is nothing in the power of attorney to indicate that it was irrevocable and that it was executed for consideration. It is difficult to accede to this contention. In the power of attorney in question it is clearly stated as follows:--
: AND WHEREAS the Principal has sought a loan of Rs. 1,50,000 (Rupees one Lac fifty Thousand only) from the Attorney at their above said Gurappa Choultry Road, Tumkur branch office against the security of the schedule property to construct therein a new additional building intended for hotel, lodging shops office etc., AND whereas the attorney has required the Principal to execute a irrevocable registered power of Attorney in favour of the attorney authorising-(Underlining is ours)
This recital makes it abundantly clear that it was in consideration of the Bank advancing the loan that the petitioner was called upon to execute the power of attorney. A perusal of clause (c) of the power of attorney which is as follows:--
(c) To sell, alienate by way of mortgage or otherwise to deal with the property described in the Schedule at a price to be fixed and deemed fit and reasonable by the attorney at its sole discretion and appropriate the same proceeds and or the mortgage consideration first towards interest cost and other charges incurred therein and the balance towards reduction of the liability due to the attorney and a loan of Rs. 1,50.000/- (Rupees One Lac Fifty Thousand only).
also makes it clear that the power of attorney was executed for consideration of the grant of loan.
5. The other contention of Shri Srinivasan that the document does not expressly state anywhere that it is irrevocable and therefore it should not be construed as such is also not tenable. Section. 202 of the Indian Contract Act of 1872 clearly spells out in what circumstances a person cannot unilaterally terminate the agency. The section reads as follows:-
'202 termination of agency where agent has an interest in subject matter-where the agent has himself an interest in the property which forms the subject matter of the agency, the agency cannot, in the absence of an express contract, be terminated to the prejudice of such interest Illustrations.
(A) A gives authority to B. To sell A's land and to pay himself, out of the proceeds the debts due to him from A. A cannot revoke this authority, nor can it be terminated by his insanity or death.'
This illustration given to that section as (a) is somewhat similar to clause (c) of the power of attorney set out earlier. A case almost similar to the one came up for consideration before the Supreme Court in Loon Karan Seth v. Ivan E. John : [1969]1SCR122 , in which it has been observed (at p. 76):--
'5. There is hardly any doubt that the power given by the appellant in favour of the Bank is a power coupled with interest. That is clear both from the tenor of the document as well as from its terms. S. 202 of the Contract Act provides that where the agent has himself an interest in the property which forms the subject-matter of the agency, the agency cannot, in the absence of an express contract, be terminated to the prejudice of such interest. It is settled law that where the agency is created for valuable consideration and authority is given to effect that a security or to secure interest of the agent, the authority cannot be revoked. The document itself says that the power given to the Bank is irrevocable. It must be said in fairness to Shri Chagla that he did not contest the finding of the High Court that the power in question was irrevocable.'
In the instant case also it is clear that an interest in the property is created in favour of the Bank in terms of clause (c) and other clauses. Therefore, the petitioner has no power to revoke the deed unilaterally. Besides as earlier noticed, both at the beginning of the deed as well as at clause (c) set out above, the consideration for its execution has been the loan sought and granted to the petitioner in the sum of Rs. 1,50,000/-. Thus it clearly falls under Entry 41(e) of the Schedule to the Act.
6. In the result, and for the reasons stated above, the reference is accordingly answered in favour of the Revenue and the matter stands remitted to the Chief Controlling Revenue Authority for appropriate action in accordance with law.
7. Answered in favour of the Revenue.

Master Dog Chef Micki Voisard
Or...catch Micki on
as "The Pet Chef!"
Previously printed in TUCSON WOMAN MAGAZINE:
by Charles Spillar
Over 17 yrs. ago, a remarkable woman named Micki Voisard had a life changing experience. Her doctor told her these frightening words, "you have cancer." Misdiagnosed by four medical specialists prior to her operation, she found out after surgery she had stage 3B-carcinoma ovarian cancer that had metastasized. After a consultation with her oncologist she decided to go against his recommendations of chemotherapy and radiation and chose instead to use alternative medicine to heal herself. This decision was made after she confronted her doctor asking for patient statistics of his recommended treatment for someone with her stage of cancer. She found none of his patients with her condition had lived over a few years after treatment.
It appeared her life had become a roulette wheel...Red?...or...Black? She chose RED and went to the Livingston Medical Center in San Diego where she received non-traditional therapy utilizing alternative diet and nutrition. She has shared this healing knowledge in her published book CANCER...THEN HEALING. Now 17 years later, she is still cancer free and "thriving". With this knowledge and her years of experience working with dogs, she has chosen to use her important understanding of diet and nutrition using real food, not processed commercial pet food, to improve the lives of many people's best friend...their dog. She is definitely a woman on a mission wanting to share her knowledge with others.
When Micki was 21 and an airline stewardess for Flying Tiger Airlines, traveling in and out of Vietnam doing troop transport, she had an experience that truly impacted her love for dogs. On one flight, instead of soldiers, the cargo was a large number of special dogs, trained by the military to discover mines, trip wires, hidden enemy soldiers and other dangers. These War Dogs were responsible for saving thousands of our service men's lives. On this flight she asked one of the dog handlers what they fed their animals in combat. His quick reply was "we feed them the same thing we eat because our lives depend on them." Those words stuck into her mind all of these years and her experiences with the cancer treatments made her reevaluate what we feed our animals.
Experimenting with her own pets and those she fed for years in rescue shelters, she noticed major changes in their behaviors and appearance. She saw first hand just how important a real food diet with the proper nutrition was to assure a healthy life.
If you own a dog, then you definitely need to meet Master Dog Chef Micki Voisard, author, public speaker, radio talk show host, animal nutrition consultant and TV host. Her company, Dog Chefs of America is dedicated to helping your canine pal live a longer more vibrant life. With over 25 years experience she is an expert on the importance of proper diet and nutrition for our pets.
In the first half of the 20th Century most of our dogs lived to be 15-20 years old. Now veterinarians consider a dog old at 7! Why? Could it be what you are feeding your pet? A DVD documentary was made featuring Ms. Voisard and internationally known veterinarian and author Dr. Richard Pitcairn. It really opens your eyes to the primary culprit. Unheard of years ago, diseases like cancer, diabetes, arthritis, liver disorders and many other diseases never existed in the astounding numbers seen in dogs today. The DVD is EAT, DRINK AND WAG YOUR TAIL, produced by Interdependent Pictures of Hermosa Beach, CA.
Ms. Voisard and her Dog Chefs of America have received publicity in local and national magazines as well as a large number of online publications. Even in Australia, several food oriented online and print publications are writing about her unique talents. She was also featured on the CBS EARLY SHOW and Arizona Highways TV Show and magazine.
Recovering completely from a deadly disease really taught Micki Voisard the importance of life and has created a real mission and passion in her work. She's aware that she "beat the odds" and learned knowledge very important to your own health and to your canine friend. Perhaps one of the most important things she learned from her experience is the importance of putting "joy" into our life. Our pets add a lot of joy to our lives and keeping them around for as long as possible is her mission. Her good health, happiness and success are an inspiration to everyone. Just because life may knock you down, it doesn't mean it will knock you out. Her life is proof of that!

Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B)
We have found that MHC classII antigen and CD4/p561ck complex were expressed on sperm posterior membrane and egg plasma membrane respectively. Furthermore, we generated the CD4 proteins on Sf9 cells transfected with AcNPV-CD4 cDNA.Then, the intercellular interactions between Sf9-CD4 cells and sperm cells demonstrated the adhesive reactions in the species specific manner.On the other hand, we have demonstrated the expression of Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) system and revealed its roles for the formation of atresia in murine ovary. By means of in situ hybridization and RT-PCR,the expression of Fas was mainly detected at transcriptional levels on oocytes, hyperovulated eggs and some granulosa cells, whereas, that of FasL was localized on granulosa cells. These results were further confirmed at translational levels by IIF,EIA and immunoprecipitation method. The expression of Fas-FasL system in ovary was regulated by gonadotropins. We also constructed the transfectants of AcNPV-FasL cDNA to Sf9 (Sf9-FasL) cells. The interaction between granulosa/Sf9-FasL cells and ZP free eggs in vitro resulted in the induction of apoptosis in eggs detecting by TUNEL method. In contrast, the apoptosis in ZP intact eggs in this system did not occur. Taken together with our experimental results and other investigator's reports, the formation of ovarian atresia was strongly suggested to be induced by the interaction between FasL positive granulosa cells and Fas expressing oocytes/eggs during oogenesis until the accomplishment of ZP.

Star-gazing at Game 2 . . .
Well, the Magic dished up an even more lop-sided victory over Charlotte in Game 2 of their play-off series.
The final score was 92-77, and it was an UGLY game. Especially if you were a Wildcats fan. (They only scored 3 points in the first 8 minutes!!!)
Somewhat ashamed to admit this, but as the play on the court was so poor yours truly found himself checking out the notables seating along the sidelines.
I spotted golfer Michelle Wie and Michael Jordan.
Did any of ye socks see any other "stars" in the O-rena? (I mean, besides the ones on the Magic logo, of course!)

Clucking Christmas Sewing Caddy
Oil 5x7 on hardboard
Little diddly of a little sowing caddy which has been tucked away for years in a shadowbox. Had a phone call so when I came back to it I forgot where I was and had to re-group a bit.
Goal here was metallic sheen. Scissors and satin cloth. One of these days painting is going to be like driving. Meaning I get the hang of it with fewer mistakes.

My 805 Sigs were powered by the McIntosh 352 amp and also I use the McIntosh C2200 (tube) preamp. These were were in my home. During that time I added a sub woofer to my system which really impressed me even more.
B&W Signature 805
I've driven my N805Sig's with an Aragon 800BB, NHT A1 monos and a Sherbourn 7/2100 (present). All listening was done in my dedicated room (16x20) which has wall treatment (thanks Rives). Pre was an Anthem AVM20. Source was a Modded Philips 963SA and cables are Cardas Golden Cross. Power cords by Virtual Dynamics. They sit on custom Amboyna Burl stands.
A lot of people fault the N805's and Sig's for being bright. I find them very acurate and revealing. They will highlight any deficients in your system or source material. But, when you get it right they are soooo good. Soundstaging is huge. You really have to take the time and effort to set them up correctly. Most people don't want to do this; they just plop them down on either side of their rack and then bitch about how bad they sound. Also, they need room to breath. They should be out in the room at least 3 feet. They take a long time to burn in; about 300 hours. Good stands are a must.
Good luck,
I've used my S805's first with an Arcam FMJ A32 and now with a McIntosh MA6900 integrated. Source is a Proceed CDD transport with a MF A324 DAC. Cables are Red Dawn ICs and Audioquest Granite double biwire and Illuminarions D-60 digital. They definitely demand quality amplification, being very revealing but I enjoyed them with the Arcam and now the whole system went a step further with the Mac. I find them very detailed and natural sounding. B&W's are forward sounding and for some a bit bright so choose cables and other equipment with care (listen first if you can) as with any other piece. I don't find them overbright in my system.
We found some of the same results as above, placing them out in front of the stereo rack was better than more of a flush position with the rack, which in comparison caused them to sound closed in.
There have been a couple mentions of the posibility of brightness, this was never an issue during our listening and never once came to either of our minds.
As Gustavog stated, I found them to be tilted towards forward sounding.
Again, I was quite impressed with them.

WOODBURY, N.Y., July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Leading accounting, tax and business valuation firm Gettry Marcus CPA, P.C. discusses a co-op audit case study conducted by the firm.
Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140617/118775
A cooperative housing corporation engaged Gettry Marcus to perform an audit. The corporation, located in Manhattan, owned a parking garage for use by its shareholders. During our review of the predecessor accounting firm's work papers, Gettry Marcus noticed that a considerable amount of time was spent accounting for and reconciling garage rental income, and the amounts due to the garage operator each month.
During the audit, Gettry Marcus investigated this matter. Under the terms of the lease, the garage operator was obligated to pay a fixed monthly rent to the corporation. The garage operator was supposed to then bill the shareholders for the rent applicable to the occupied parking spaces. However, the monthly billing became the obligation of the corporation. In addition, the garage operator's obligation to pay its monthly fixed rent would be offset by the rent received from those shareholders who occupied the parking spaces. In the event that the amount of rent applicable to the shareholders' parking spaces exceeded the amount of fixed rent due from the garage operator, the corporation was required to refund the excess to the garage operator.
Gettry Marcus determined that, in effect, each month the corporation was providing the accounting for the garage operator, including billing and collections. This function was very time consuming both for the client and the auditors at the end of the year. The reason for this arrangement was attributable to a 6% New York City Sales Tax on parking. Under prior law, rent paid directly to a garage operator was subject to sales tax. However, if rent was charged by the cooperative housing corporation, the sales tax was not applicable. Gettry Marcus researched this and determined that the law had changed. Rent paid by a shareholder directly to a garage operator under the terms of a master lease was not subject to the 6% sales tax.
Based on our findings, Gettry Marcus advised the Board on a recommended course of action. Effective immediately, the garage operator began billing the shareholders directly and paying the Corporation its monthly fixed rent. The client was very appreciative because Gettry Marcus improved their cash flow and also reduced the time, cost and resources required to provide the monthly accounting.

Why Use Longevity Essential Oil?
- Studies show that as we age, many enzymes decrease and free radicals become more abundant.
- Free radicals damage body cells and cause cellular malfunctions and mutations.
- Polluted and toxic environments can also take their toll on the body by increasing free radical production.
- Car fumes, smoke, radiation, poor diets, polluted water, and even sunlight speed the aging process.
Programming the body to produce higher quantities of antioxidants helps combat free radical damage and slows the negative effects associated with growing older. In our fast-paced society, it is comforting to know that one convenient capsule a day will defend the body against the typical ravages of aging.*
How to use: For dietary, aromatic or topical use. If using as a supplement, put one drop in a capsule or in 4 fl. oz. of goats or rice milk.
Warning: Possible skin sensitivity. Longevity is a "hot" oil that can burn sensitive skin. If burning is experienced, cover with massage oil, or olive oil. If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician.
- Thyme (Thymus vulgaris CT thymol) essential oil
- orange (Citrus aurantium) essential oil
- clove (Syzygium aromaticum) essential oil
- frankincense (Boswellia carteri) essential oil

Yesterday, decided to day trip it up to Lowman to visit my parents and Rod and Taunya while they were camping. They happened to snag a great spot across from the swimming hole. We left first thing in the morning and spent the entire day in the river. It was hot so that chilly water was PERFECT! There were several other families who came and went throughout the day, but it was never too crowded.
My mom got Carter out near the ledge a couple of times, but he never jumped all the way in. His comfort level in the river is definitely much lower than when he's at the pool for swimming lessons.
There is no single place on this planet that I have yet to find where I feel more at peace and at home than at the swimming hole. I try to get up there as many times as I can every year. I feel more relaxed sitting at this specific spot than anywhere else. The sound of the water rushing by is the greatest music ever produced.
Carter playing catch with some guys who stopped by.
Goofing around with Papa.
Taunya and me
Kendall eating - shocking!!
This kid's face, I swear!
Once we got back to Boise, we had a quick dinner and then grabbed one of our favorite summer treats:

In customary Pebbledash style, whilst Garden Makeover has been in operation a number of other projects have been on the boil and this week, with no further green progress to share (seemed crazy to plant just before a holiday for fear of returning to a garden of dead foliage) I thought I'd share a few updates.
Firstly, and very excitingly, the hanging of frames on the gallery wall has commenced. S has been instructed (ahem. Asked. Really nicely) to put these up in their raw charity shop state…..complete with yellowing mounting card and dubious contents. Understandably he doesn't seem too fussed with the results thus far but once they are all up and I can see how it's looking Ill have each one back down again to attack with the sander and/or paintbrush.
I plan to fill each frame with either photos, cards or posters but the exact contents of each are as yet undecided and the task has been made that much harder by news this week that no, information is not recoverable from our (un-backed up) external computer disc which went kaput in spectacular fashion a few weeks ago containing almost all of our photos. I keep telling myself we have lost worse so rather than spitting feathers we are instead painstakingly going through old cd's, memory cards, phones, iPad and iPhoto seeing if any photos can be salvaged and triumphantly announcing the good news to each other whenever anything of value is found. That'll teach us…
Back to this wall…..the drill has temporarily been put on ice whilst I dither a bit more contemplating whether now is my chance to paint the wall behind in leftover Pavilion Grey. The other option is to Down Pipe it though that requires a trip to F&B which I'm fairly sure has been banned. So musing continues….
Inspiration from Abigail Ahern and Swoon Worthy
Whilst the drill was powered up with a fervent S behind it, a wall of mirrors also went up in the snug in an attempt to bounce what little light there is around:
The fairytale posters were also put up…
…as was a ceiling pendant…
..in addition to the printers tray containing O's cars (which are oft requested for play purposes now that he can actually see them but the beauty of it is they can easily be extracted and replaced once done)
The veg patch is also beginning to come into its own and whilst it doesn't look as if we'll ever be self sufficient it's still been exciting to eat our home grown courgettes, french beans, a few chive-like spring onions and a handful or two of strawberries which went straight from plot to mouth (O's). We are now waiting with bated breath for the feral tomatoes to ripen….I let them grow a bit wayward so its a tomato madhouse up there…..but meanwhile we are happily watching a lone squash swell. The brassicas however haven't fared as well. Despite lots of caterpillar squashing (ug) they have decimated the caulis, savoy and broccoli so I'm taking the view that the brassica patch is really a butterfly breeding ground as opposed to looking to it to relinquish anything edible.
Last but not least has been the commencement of the epic pirate chest makeover. With that however I'm already bored…..the paint is obstinate and so far it's taken a coating of paint stripper, the blowtorch and the sander to get even this far.
An attempt to persuade S to have a go was met with a firm "Nooooooo, that's your (crazy) project." But a holiday should rejuvenate the energy banks and I'll be back to it with a sander and some vengeance shortly….

I recently attended an Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) Webinar. Developed by the Association of Library Service to Children and Public Library Association, the goal of ECRR is to support parents and caregivers as they help their children (birth to age 5) build early literacy skills--getting them ready to read! There are five early literacy practices that parents and caregivers can engage in with their children: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing. Over the next several weeks, I'll be blogging about easy, fun ways you can enhance these practices in your child's daily life.
As we know, talking with children--including infants--is a key source of language development. A great way to extend the conversations you have with your child is by taking a picture walk! Choose a book with illustrations that you like, but instead of reading the book, simply talk about the pictures. Ask your child about what he or she sees on the cover, talk about the characters, and have your child predict what might happen next. You could even use a wordless picture book which is designed for just this sort of imaginative storytelling. Try Where's Walrus by Stephen Savage, The Umbrella by Ingrid and Dieter Schubert, or recent Caldecott Medal winner A Ball for Daisy by Chris Raschka. Another idea--especially for children who are not yet talking--is to narrate your daily activities with them. For example: "I'm making your lunch right now. This is your applesauce. Mmm! It tastes sweet. You like applesauce, don't you?" Narrating activities is a great way to introduce your child to new vocabulary words.

Strangely, after years of being a confirmed anglophile (Absolutely Fabulous! Britpop! Fish & chips! Shakespeare!) I've switched allegiances. I've gone francophile.
I just finished reading Gopnik's Paris to the Moon. I'm sloooowly learning,via podcast, to speak French, which, if it truly is the language of love, I sound like a 40-year-old virgin reciting it. I even bought a copy of Paris Match to help me in my comprehension, figuring gossip is gossip–a truly international language.
Why French? Why now? Who knows! I'd been meaning to study Italian, but the farthest I got was learning the colors and numbers while playing Uno with my friend Uma. I suppose I could have studied French in high school. But I didn't. No Spanish, either, even though I lived in Florida. Nope, while the uber-nerds fast-tracked for Ivy League glory were all learning Russian and Japanese, I studied German for three years along with the cybergeeks, ROTC kids, and the occasional burn-out chick. (There's a fifty-fifty chance the every guy in that class has either become a computer programmer or serial killer. Time to check myspace!) Three years of Herr Hedrick, with acoustic guitar in hand, leading the class in a rousing version of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" auf deutsch. All those Aryan children in our outdated 1970's textbook, lounging around the Black Forest or the Tiergarten in polyester, drinking spezis and carrying out impossibly oversimplified conversations so that we could grasp German grammar and all its many cases. But I digress.
Now, here I am, slowly grappling with French as Alexa, my disembodied podcast pedagogue, alternately dismissive and overly humble, leads me on. Wish me luck. Or should I say, bonne chance.

Key efficiency indicators, or KPIs as they are commonly identified, represent an increasingly popular enterprise management strategy based on actual globe information. Corporations will thrive or fail primarily based on how immediately and correctly they can determine, assessment, and act upon their own precise KPIs. Executives too as junior managers all feel the stress to improve their decision generating, along with the strategy to do that is to implement greater systems for measuring and evaluating the important aspects of organization performance. KPI approaches require to become planned carefully and then implemented regularly as a way to maximize the chances of results and improvement. Get a lot more information about paneles de indicadores
These quantities are in the heart of any good overall performance management initiative because they enable the concrete, objective evaluation of progress towards business targets and objectives. As such, they allow each managers and employees to far more clearly see and realize their current scenario, too because the future preferred outcomes and situations on a variety of levels. They may be strategically selected so as to supply the greatest insight into good results or failure, as opposed to significantly less relevant, non-critical measures of progress. Certainly, this option is a matter of managerial discretion and should be primarily based on a sound examination of enterprise policy and direction.
Hence, the first step in most crucial functionality indicator based initiatives is really to construct a strategic framework. That is for the reason that for these metrics to become helpful, they should be strategic, i.e., they have to be directly traceable to some specific aspect from the overall corporate method. Taken in isolation, data points would imply next to nothing at all. They rely on context for their smooth and beneficial integration as valid overall performance management tools. This mapping out of strategies in relation to specific measurable goals and objectives need to be performed carefully to make sure that nothing at all is missed and that priorities are properly set.
In actual fact, it really is fairly tough to conjure up a important efficiency indicator in isolation, with no referring to any distinct goal. Conversely, it becomes simple and straightforward to define relevant metrics as soon as the objectives have been set and agreed upon. This direct, apparent linkage between KPI and strategy is so critical that it may be regarded as akin to a litmus test to identify the effectiveness of a metric. If such a linkage cannot be simply observed, then it may be time to rethink or recast the metric into a extra useful type.
For businesses and managers that are only about to begin implementing a measurement primarily based method, it may be greatest to start tiny. Pick a few KPI techniques and get started monitoring those for any couple of weeks. Gradually ease the company's numerous systems and departments in to the habit of maintaining track of performance connected quantities. Although this approach could take extra time to get into full swing than simply going "hot turkey", since it were, and implementing a full system immediately, it has the advantage of gradually breeding familiarity. What ever method you determine to take, it really is specific that a well thought out overall performance management strategy based on KPIs is going to complete your organization lots of good within the long run.

I've been finding new music to listen to and am loving it!! I'm normally listening to Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skynyrd or some cheese ass 70's/80's band like Journey or Styx. And don't get me started on Abba. But now....I have found some really great stuff that is from this decade. My current playlist on SeeqPod is White Stripes, Gary Jules, Erin McKeown, David Bowie, Dee-Lite, The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Robert Plant & Allison Krauss, Jack Johnson, Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley, Thao Nguyen, Bon Iver, M. Ward & Zooey Deschanel, The Black Crowes, and The Killers.
Ok, so a lot of that is still not from this decade, but honestly, was there any better music than what we had in the 90's. Nope. Anyway, all these guys are still rockin' (except Buckley...he drowned).

No one wants to play against Knights
"no, sorry, but no one wants to play against Knights."
Looks like I became THAT guy after crushing everyone one-sidedly with my Imperial Knights despite not meaning to do so. Uh oh. Sorry. So until I find new opponents and a new local gaming store (actually, I already did!), there will be no battle reports for a while. Sorry.
For the Emperor! Ugh...Knights really are...strong.
4 comments:
Two knights are pretty decent. A knight army is extremely difficult for most armies (outside one tailored to fight the knights) to deal with. Their damage output is just so horrific. Def going to get some point/power adjustments.ReplyDeleteReplies
Their points costs are already exorbitant enough that I can barely fit in a small Detachment to support 3 Knights. :(Delete
They are not unbeatable. I have played games (against a Space Wolves list with a few Longfangs) where my opponent destroyed all 3 Knights.
You can take on a multiple knight list, if you build to fight anti armor. But knights will walk over some armies who aren't prepared. That same space wolf list would have been eaten alive by an ork or nid horde army. (Knight lists dominate all-rounder lists). Just gotta shoot the double battle cannons at their anti tank and wipe it out on the first turn.Delete
Yeah, I did that, but had a few bad rolls. He had 3 squads of Longfangs, I think some heroic character on a wolf sled that killed my Knight Errant in combat, Rune Priests with Smite, so it was quite difficult to deal with all his heavy weaponry and mortal wound output.Delete

I got braces on my 7th grade year and off at the beginning of my 9th grade year in school. I was lucky I didn't need them super long and lucky that my parents for one cared enough to get me braces and two could afford them. At the time many of my friends were also getting braces so although they weren't exactly awesome to have, I wasn't alone in the matter either.
• the nasty crayon tasting molding paste (gahhhh)
• painful at first
• many appointments to adjust
• broken brackets
• cut lips from sports/activities
• food getting stuck
• rubber bands
• head gear (another gahhhhh)
• choosing colors
• no gum/apples/corn etc.
• flossing nightmare
For those of you who never had braces, it sounds wonderful doesn't it? :) haha. It wasn't horrible by any means but anybody who had braces was sure counting down the days until they came off. I still have a permanent retainer glued in my mouth. But I do have straight teeth. Yay!
So as technology advances in all other aspects of life, it does in orthodontics as well. Oh where was Invisalign and Invisalign Teen when I needed them?
Invisalign and Invisalign Teen uses a series of clear aligners made of lightweight plastic that sit on the teeth. Yes I said clear, gone are the days of metal mouth and the dreaded headgear! The clear aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed so kids or adults can eat, brush, floss and smile as if they didn't have braces at all! (oh what a dream that would have been!)
Invisalign usually requires less office visits and no "emergency" visits for those dreaded broken wires or brackets and costing nearly the same as traditional metal braces I know the choice I would have preferred. Invisalign hands down.
There are more than 2 million Invisalign cases in treatment or completed worldwide. From very simple to very challenging, Invisalign offers a full spectrum of clear straightening treatments for most types of orthodontic issues. Take the Invisalign Smile Assessment to find out if Invisalign is right for you or your child.

Depression Counselor
Michael Pecosh, M.Ed., NCC, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
In 15301 - Nearby to Houston.
Depression is the unhealthy cousin of sadness. You can be okay when you're sad; when you're depressed, you're not okay. When I work with people experiencing depression, sometimes I help them to move themselves from sadness to depression. Sometimes it isn't realistic to think that you'll be happy; it is realistic to think that you can be okay. Come in and let's have a talk and we'll see if we can figure out how to make you okay again.
Depression Counselor
William Kelly, Ph.D., NCP, LPC
Psychotherapist/Professional Counselor
In 15217 - Nearby to Houston.
My work with depression consists largely on quick relieving of the depressive symptoms (i.e., intense sadness, lack of energy) and then, if the individual has a history of repeated depressions, an in-depth exploration to help the individual understand how she/he developed the depression and why it continues to occur. This self-knowledge is essential in arming the individual so they can reduce recurrences of the depressive symptoms (at least at their usual intensity), and to some extent in shifting their personality patterns away from the self-criticism and despair associated with depression.
Depression Counselor
Mike Elliot, MSPC, NCC, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
In 15217 - Nearby to Houston.
While depression can have biochemical components to it, there are many other factors. Medication management can be effective at times, but it is never a complete solution. Nutrition, physical activity, sunlight, and emotion management are also key components. In particular looking at how one's thoughts contributes to the depression and learning to challenge and changes these thoughts is needed.
