Au Revoir Slender Seekers
So it's mid-September. Half Marathon season has officially begun and I have completed two of the eleven half marathons that I have scheduled for this season.
One might think that with the experience of having over thirty half marathons under my belt I wouldn't get nervous about running a half marathon anymore. But if you made that assumption you'd be dead wrong.
Let me tell you why…
When you run as much as I do, you run higher risks of overuse injuries. Anytime you exercise there is a chance that you might get hurt. That doesn't stop us from doing it because usually the risk of injury is far outweighed by the benefits of exercise, but sometimes that's not the case. It's rare – but it does happen.
I have been running for just over four years now. Each year I have run more than the year before. I love to run. Around this time last year, I started dealing with an overuse injury – Achilles tendinitis (chronic inflammation of the Achilles tendon) which for me is caused by excessive overpronation and the ankles rolling in constantly trying to correct it. As a result calcium deposits forming extra bones on the backs of my heels which rub against the Achilles tendon make it very sore and very angry on pretty much a regular basis.
The treatment for it, as prescribed by my foot and ankle specialist, has included warming up the tendons correctly before each run, icing the tendons after each run, daily stretches, an air splint that aims to help stretch the tendon to control the pain and making sure that I have slight heel lifts in my shoes.
This was all working great! And then… I got new shoes.
I got new shoes. That has to be one of the scariest words for an avid runner who is successfully coping with a chronic foot problem. The slightest change in your foot strike, foot fall or stride can be the difference between successfully coping or sitting on the bench.
I didn't want new shoes. I'd run in the same shoes for the rest of my running career if they lasted that long. But shoes wear out, and unfortunately, shoes change. Like every year. I'll never understand why they can't leave the design of a shoe the same for more than a year, but apparently new technology is always better… except when it's not.
So now here I am, just a day away from getting on a plane to Paris where I am participating in the RunDisney Inaugural Disneyland® Paris – Val d'Europe Half Marathon Weekend and as I pack my suitcase my biggest debacle is…
Do I wear my old running shoes that are worn out and make my feet hurt?
Do I wear the new version of my old running shoes that make my feet hurt?
Do I wear the new completely different style running shoe that I just got to try to stop my feet from hurting as much as they have lately?
Because there doesn't seem to be a good answer right now.
So here is what I am going to do…
I am going to keep doing everything that I have been doing and this coming Sunday, the morning of the race, I am going to make the decision I think is the lesser of all evils and the most likely to make sure that I make it across the finish line.
In other words. I am going to put all three of those shoes in my suitcase, not stress out about trying to make up my mind right now, and instead focus on getting the rest of my suitcase packed for Paris.
Because I am going to Paris! In less than 24 hours I will be on a plane heading to Paris, France to run my first international half marathon!
I've got clothes to pack! My event day running shirt just arrived from my sponsor BariLife Vitamins today and have to decide what I am going to wear with it! I have to get all my running gear together and make sure that it is all packed in my carry on bag just in case something happens to my suitcase.
I've got snacks to pack! I've got stuff to organize! The last thing I need right now is stressing out about shoes…. Right?
Yup. But I am stressing out about shoes and I will tell you why… because I am traveling all the way to Paris to run this half marathon and to bring home the Castle to Chateau medal that comes along with completing a half marathon at either Walt Disney World or Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. They key word there is completing.
I have never not finished a half I started, and although I know that mentally I could handle not being able to finish, I'm just not sure I can handle it on this particular event. I know I would be very disappointed. Not disappointed in myself, just disappointed in general.
But there is nothing I can do to change this right now. All I can do is put all three pairs of shoes in this suitcase and hope that come Sunday morning, no matter what shoes I have on at the start line, adrenaline, determination (and some pixie dust!) get me to the finish line.
I can guarantee you one thing… you'll definitely be seeing some really cool photos from the Disneyland Paris Half Marathon course. You'll be seeing mile marker selfies and smiles as I run through the happiest place on earth in France!
I'm excited. I'm a Disney Fanatic! I've been to Disneyland hundreds and hundreds of times, I've ran the Tinker Bell Half Marathon for the last three years. I've been to Walt Disney World four times now since I started running. But this is my first time at Disneyland Paris and I am super excited to take in this new-to-me Disney Park!
I'm about to embark on a brand new NSV ( Non Scale Victory ) for me!
Six years ago when I started this journey getting on a plane, traveling to another country, walking around a theme park, riding rides and running thirteen miles would have all been a physical impossibility for me. At 420 lb., with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and severe edema, this trip would never have even been a consideration for me! But thanks to my choice to take back my life from obesity, my choice to have bariatric surgery and my successful weight maintenance this is all possible.
And even though this running shoe debacle has me thinking that I need to rename my blog Desperately Seeking Comfortable Running Shoes or Desperately Seeking Sanity, what I need to remember is that, in the big scheme of things, this shoe stress and tendinitis travesty is really a very small thing to have to worry about and there are much bigger things to be celebrating.
So with that said. It is time for me to grab my passport, pack my big girl panties in my suitcase and put a little faith in myself and my journey and say Au Revoir Slender Seekers! The next time we talk I will be telling you all about how amazing Paris was and showing you what a Castle to Chateau medal looks like around this WLS Runner's neck!

My Top 5 Favorite Bari Life Protein Bars
So I have had the opportunity to taste several of Bari Life's protein bars in the last couple of months as they were kind enough to send me a care package of products to try out so that I could tell you all what I think about them.
You know me, am pretty transparent and I tend to be really honest, I won't tell you that something tastes good if I think it tastes nasty. So let me tell you about my 5 favorite BariLife Protein Bars and why they are delicious.
Bari Life Crispy Chocolate Coconut– So it's got coconut in it. Which makes it my favorite. Because I am a lover of all things coconut. Mix that with the crispy texture and chocolate and there is no question it is my number one pick. I mean it's got chocolate and coconut in it and that's like the two best ingredients in a protein bar.
Bari Life Peanut Butter – Back in the day I was a peanut butter cup junkie. Any protein bar that can remind me of eating a peanut butter cup is going to make my list of favorites, and the texture on this bar did just that. This bar would have been my number one pick if it wasn't for the mere fact that chocolate and coconut wins over peanut butter any day. But it was really a close tie for the number one and number two slot here.
Chunky Crisp Peanut Butter – While this bar didn't have the texture that reminded me of a peanut butter cup, it did have a texture that made me smile because usually I prefer crisp and light to thick and heavy. My pouch appreciates that more. So this bar and the fact that it had delicious chunks of peanut butter goodness in it was an easy pick as one of my top 5 favorite bars.
Bari Life Lemon Meringue Crispy Bar – Really other than the words lemon meringue I don't think I need to say anything else. This bar has a great texture, tastes like just what you would expect a lemon meringue bar to taste like and is absolutely delicious. I had this one on my Dad's birthday to celebrate him since his favorite dessert was lemon meringue pie.
Bari Life Oatmeal – So when I think oatmeal I think oatmeal cookie. Not like actually eating oatmeal. Because really if you ask me the entire reason oatmeal exists is so someone could make treats out of it. Eating it as a breakfast cereal was just a bonus perk. This protein bar tasted very much like a frosted oatmeal cookie, or at least the closest thing my brain remembers to a frosted oatmeal cookie. It was delicious.

Garden fencing is an important part of the gardening process. It provides safety and privacy to your garden. In addition to this, it can also enhance the look of your garden. There are different types of garden fences available from which you can make the choice as per your needs. Deciding whether or not you require a garden fence is a very personal decision as you may think that a fence would confine your yard or it may take a lot of effort to put up.
The Purpose of Decorative Garden Fencing
There can be many reasons to consider garden fencing. With houses built in close proximities these days, garden fences are often desirable to provide privacy from the neighbors. Particularly if the neighbors have pets, the disturbances and distractions can be avoided. Another reason to desire privacy for the yard is the presence of a swimming pool.
The other most important reason for garden fencing is safety. Today's society presents many hazards to children, from speeding vehicles to dangerous individuals. Keeping their children safe while playing in the yards is the goal of many parents. Same is the case with your own pets that you would like to keep safe without restricting them to lead a normal and happy life. Without a proper fence surrounding all of the plants, any pest, animal or trespasser can walk away with all your hard earned produce.
With garden fencing, you can easily protect your garden beds from foot traffic without restricting sunlight streaming through your plants. Garden fence panels that are specially designed for decoration purpose give an elegant look to your gardens.
Tips to
Fencing Select Right Garden
To select the right garden fencing for your garden, first of all you need to consider the purpose behind it. Privacy, security and aesthetics are the most common. Then as per your need you have to choose the right material for the garden fencing considering your budget limit. The height of your fence will also determine its effectiveness for the purpose. Putting the most apt fence to a garden is a necessary step so it should be done carefully.
For a privacy fence, wood or plastic makes a good choice. Wooden garden fencing gives a natural look whereas plastic fencing gives a formal look. These are reasonably priced but require maintenance. Wood picket garden fences painted in white are a classic choice. A wood plank garden fence is also a good option. When it comes to appearance wrought iron fencing will provide a great visual appeal. These are also sometimes referred as ornamental or decorative garden fencing. Although wrought iron fencing requires less maintenance, it is advised ensuring that the paint protection has not come out that may lead to rusting. The only drawback of this type of fencing is the cost. Aluminum fences that are powder coated make a good choice and come in variety of colors. In case your garden is big and spacious, you can also use dry stone walls garden fencing. These are strong enough to withstand harsh climatic conditions.
The garden space is also a factor while choosing the right kind of garden fence. The fencing should not seem to confine the garden space. While installing garden fencing panels, the legal aspects should also be taken care of. It should be within your property lines and your neighborhood should be well informed about that. In case you have any confusion deciding the boundaries, it is always suggested to seek legal help. You can refer to the laws of the community to find the proper space between houses. Last but not the least requirement is to have all the necessary legal documents before you start the project of fencing the garden.
A large part of the home improvements is focused on the garden; hence, a proper choice is required for the type of garden fencing that will add to the aesthetic beauty. Although, sometimes expensive in terms of materials, these fences are possibly the most cost-efficient way to improve the green space of a property. Whether it is to enclose a field, home, an animal paddock or the perimeter of a property, fences have a great merit of being more instant than hedges and less expensive than walls. Garden fences are not only used to provide a boundary between two houses but also to provide a safe peaceful refuge for the plants in your garden from unwanted visitors. Your pets and livestock can spend time outdoors and you can ensure the safety of your children. The privacy of your yard can be maintained and you can also hide something unwanted in your garden. Garden fences come in all shapes and sizes ranging from the costly to the economical ones. Matching the right fence to a garden is an essential step to making that garden complete.

Motivation is Not What You Need
How many of us have felt or made the excuse, "I just don't have the motivation to practice."? The excuse is flimsy, but what if the very idea of "motivation" itself is just as flimsy and nothing more than a myth? Jeff Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success in his book The Motivation Myth. The book is filled with practical advice and strategies on how to forge a forward path on your way to any goal. Many of us pipers know how difficult it can be to stay on track and keep working to improve on the instrument. The secret ingredients to accomplishing anything, bagpipes included, aren't some mysterious feeling or burst of inspiration or energy, it's clear repeatable processes and simple hard work. Haden is living proof of these ideas. His series of articles at Inc. magazine, as well as the personal experiences he relays in his book, detail his own process of training for bike races, losing weight, and yes, as you've already read, doing 100,000 pushups in a single year. A read that is sure to cut through the bull&%$ for anyone coming up with excuses for their own lack of motivation.

Part 2: Psychological Assessment— Legal issues in psychological testing overview
Brent, I think it's a great idea to sort out this idea of psychological testing. While those tests are not needed for most secular jobs, many mission agencies use assessments initially for two reasons. That raises an important distinction between types of tests.

I, Carlos Mencia, Am A Gigantic Douche
Dear America,
I, Carlos Mencia, officially declare myself to be a gigantic douche. Yes, I have officially surpassed John Edwards as the biggest douche in the universe. My constant unfunny standup combined with my blatant stealing of material has all contributed to my doucheyness. The most recent example of my douchery was my stealing of Bill Cosby's material. That's right, I blatantly stole material from one of the most famous comedians of all time, from one of his most recognizable bits of all time. If that isn't supreme doucheness, I don't know what is.
This shouldn't really come as a surprise to you. I've been called a douche before. I've also admitted to my lack of comedic ability. But now, with this official declaration (along with an affidavit signed by every comedian in the world except Dane Cook, who isn't really an original comedian anyway) I clear up any misgivings and admit to my douchery. So it is written, so it shall be done.
Please, I urge you to boycott my comedy shows and abstain from watching my tv programs. Also, if you see me on the street, kick me in the nuts or throw used douches at me. I certainly deserve it. Only then, will I be able to fully repent in my utter doucheness. Thank you and godspeed.
With all my love,
Carlos "The Douchemeister" Mencia

Things Can Get Damn Funny Underwater!
Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" programming is shown late at night (or the beginning of the night for you drinkers…okay us drinkers) and has some of the funniest shows on television. The funniest might be Sealab 2021.
Sealab 2021 is something a little different. It takes the old classic dramatic early 1970's series (Sealab 2020), keeps the characters and the animation but writes completely different stories and dialog. What was once a cheesy 70's drama cartoon series, is now a crazy and hilarious cartoon for today.
Generally what may happen in an episode is the crew (assigned to exploring the possibility of underwater colonization) may start a debate about if they would put their brains in robot bodies. Or Affirmative Action promoting everyone to Captain. Or fighting giant squids over a toy oven. All the while a catastrophe threatens the colony, so Dr. Quentin Q. Quinn (the only smart and level one) has to save the day as the others are oblivious.
Check out the "Adult Swim" block of programming on the Cartoon Network. New Sealabs are shown Sunday nights. And if you have a issue with being an adult and watching "cartoons", it's really called a animated series…CAPTAIN.

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (0) | DVD (1)
Provocative and well-acted. This one's worth looking for.
A beguiling comedy from a Marxist-inflected thesis that is filled with characters who rage against the machine with pessimism, optimism, and navet (C)"sometimes in rotation.
An impressive achievement, one that combines terrific performances with a lovely storytelling style and themes and characters that actually matter.

Shanore Claddagh Ring with Green Swarovski Crystals $69.95
Claddagh Ring with Green SwarovskiCrystals.
This exquisite ring is a fresh and mature take on the famous Celtic lover's band: the Claddagh Ring. Crafted delicately of Sterling silver, the ring is wonderfully detailed- from the cuffs around the hands to the patterns on the crown. But the true focus of the ring is rightly on the central heart. The brilliant Swarovski crystals set in the heart itself to form a glorious focus for the ring.
A Threefold Ever Lasting Love
The Claddagh ring is well deserving of its status as one of the most beloved symbols of Ireland because of the meaning behind the imagery. In the Claddagh Ring images, the three most necessary aspects of a successful relationship are found. The two hands bind together in the friendship. The crown rests as a reminder to the importance of loyalty. Finally, the middle heart represents the love that bound the two lovers together in the first place. Each ring comes with "Love Loyalty Friendship" engraved on the inside.
The Modern Traditionalist
For the woman who loves the traditions of the past but still wants to add her own, unique twist to things, this ring is perfect. It contains all the symbolism of the old Claddagh tradition but the brilliance of our modern world.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Euro zone inflation plunged this month, likely vindicating European Central Bank President Mario Draghi's cautious policy stance and proving that the bloc may still be years away from a sustained rise in consumer prices.
Inflation in the 19-member currency union fell to 1.5 percent in March from a four-year high of 2.0 percent in February, well below expectations for 1.8 percent as energy, food and services prices rose slower than last month, Eurostat said.
Underlying inflation, a measure closely watched by the ECB, meanwhile fell to 0.7 percent from 0.9 percent, all but erasing pressure on Draghi to tighten the ECB's money taps soon, many months before its currency guidance.
When overall inflation hit the ECB's target last month, conservative countries like Germany piled pressure on Draghi, calling for an end to the bank's 2.3 trillion euro asset buying scheme.
But the ECB repeatedly rejected those calls, arguing that inflation has already peaked this year and will not return back toward its 2 percent target perhaps until 2019, as unemployment remains high, wage growth is anemic and the economy is still operating with significant slack.
Policymakers have also warned that small changes in the bank's message earlier this month may have been overinterpreted as they pointed to reduced risks and not to the first step to the exit.
"Measures of underlying inflation in the euro area remain subdued and our projected path of inflation still remains highly conditional on our policy stance," ECB Executive Board member Benoit Coeure, a key Draghi ally, said on Friday.
"This clearly suggests that current expectations on the intended horizon of our purchases… and on the sequencing of policy instruments, remain valid today," Coeure said, referring to the bank's expectation to keep rates at current or lower levels until well after the asset buys conclude.
But markets shrugged off the data with the euro and bonds yields trading broadly unchanged on Friday as investors have already priced in a cautious stance from the bank.
"This fall was much steeper than most analysts had forecast and should dampen speculation about an imminent exit of the ECB from its ultra-expansionary monetary policy," Commerzbank economist Christoph Weil said.
"We will only see a sustained increase in the inflation rate when wages rise more strongly again. However, we do not expect this to happen before 2018," he added.
The ECB next meets on April 27 and no policy change is expected, especially with the French election just weeks away.
The ECB now expects to buy 60 billion euros worth of assets until the end of the year and will decide in the second half of the year whether to continue or wind down the scheme next year.

Quails should be housed somewhere warm, dry and windproof, such as a rabbit hutch and run. They like having low-level perches to sit on. Their hutch should be roofed with something soft to prevent them from injuring themselves.
Adult quails should be fed pellets or mash. If they are being reared for consumption, finishers' pellets and corn mixed together create a healthy and tasty bird. Baby quails can eat game bird starter mix. Many birds also appreciate small chunks of leftover vegetables and fruits as well as millet and mealworms. Quail owners must provide fresh water in small, shallow dishes. If the dish is deeper, marbles and stones placed at the bottom prevent the bird from drowning.
Quails are susceptible to the cold and may need additional heat sources during the winter. Some quail owners prefer to move the birds inside if the weather is too harsh. Quails can even be kept permanently indoors in a small room for protection against both the elements and predators, such as cats and foxes.
Keeping the housing conditions clean and comfortable is crucial. Quails prefer to nest on the ground behind vegetation, so the pen should contain small cut branches. A mixture of wood chippings and soil on the ground encourages them to forage and dust bathe.

Movie News: Brad Pitt Returning to WWII; 'Cinderella' Casting; 'Greetings from Tim Buckley' Trailer
Fury: Brad Pitt, who memorably played a Nazi scalper in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, is on the brink of returning to World War II. He's in final negotiations to star in Fury, a drama that David Ayers (End of Watch) will direct, based on his script; the story takes place in the dying days of WWII as an American tank crew fights the Germans. [Deadline]
Cinderella: Who will be the next Cinderella? Emma Watson turned down the starring role in Disney's upcoming new version, to be directed by Kenneth Branagh, so the casting process continues. Rumor has it that three little-known actresses are testing: Bella Heathcote (Dark Shadows), Lily James (Downton Abbey) and Margot Robbie (Pan Am). Cate Blanchett is already attached. [Deadline]
A Walk in the Woods: Filmmaker Richard Linklater, whose upcoming Before Midnight is riding a huge wave of positive prerelease buzz, is lining up his next project. He's in talks to direct Robert Redford and Nick Nolte in A Walk in the Woods, based on the humorous travel memoir by Bill Bryson. The book follows the journey of two childhood friends who try to reconnect while hiking the Appalachian Trail. Redford, who is producing, hopes to start shooting this fall. [Los Angeles Times]
Greetings from Tim Buckley Trailer: A lyrical, romantic trailer has been released for Greetings from Tim Buckley, in which Penn Badgley stars as the son of a famous folk singer. Set in the early '90s, the movie follows young Jeff Buckley as he rehearses a tribute show for his late father and gets to know a young woman (Imogen Poots) in New York City. The movie will be available on various Video On Demand platforms on April 16. [Collider]

Oration on Ambition
October 6, 1800
Oration on Ambition (October 6, 1800)
This address was prepared for the United Fraternity. In it, Webster describes the ubiquitous nature of ambition in the human spirit. He delineates its positive and negative uses by comparing the conquest-driven ambition of Ceasar to the virtue-guided ambition of Washington, who Webster idolized.

With the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals, the need for co-ordinated action is more urgent than ever. The Development Cooperation Report 2015 explores the potential of networks and partnerships to create incentives for responsible action, as well as innovative, fit-for-purpose ways of coordinating the activities of diverse stakeholders. To be effective, it is essential that partnerships addressing these global goals be country-led.
The report looks at a number of existing partnerships working in diverse sectors, countries and regions to draw lessons and provide practical guidance. This includes case studies on The Gates Foundation, the Global Partnership for Education, and the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding, and profiles on development cooperation providers such as DAC. It highlights that action should be accountable, coordinated and effective, and experience-based to fully realise the potential of partnerships for post-2015 action. Although governments will remain the key actors in the implementation of the new post-2015 goals, the role of non-state actors such as civil society, foundations and business is growing.
Drawing on lessons from 5 concept chapters, 11 global case studies and insights from policy makers and politicians, the report proposes 10 success factors that provide a framework for making partnerships effective coalitions for action:
- Secure high-level leadership
- Ensure partnerships are country-led and context-specific
- Avoid duplication of effort and fragmentation
- Make governance inclusive and transparent
- Apply the right type of partnership model for the challenge
- Agree on principles, targets, implementation plans and enforcement mechanisms
- Clarify roles and responsibilities
- Maintain a clear focus on results
- Measure and monitor progress towards goals and targets
- Mobilise the required financial resources and use them effectively

I am trying to replace my hard drive and the directions say to pull the white tab to the right to remove the hard drive. I must have pulled too hard b/c the white tab broke off and my old hard drive is still in the computer. Any suggestions on how to get it out?! Thanks!
Is this a good question?
Thanks! I ultimately had to open up the lower case and lift out the keyboard to get to the hard drive. Oh well! At least the installation was successful. Thanks for your thoughts.

Spanish Okra
{Source: Southern Living Homestyle Cookbook}
I love okra so I wanted to try this out. It was an easy one pot meal to make for dinner. I wouldn't say this is my favorite meal of all times or that I would make it for company - but it was good and my girls actually ate it. So that's a win!
1 lb ground chuck
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups sliced okra
1 cup chopped tomato
1 cup tomato juice (I used tomato sauce instead)
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
Hot cooked rice
Brown meat and onion in a large skillet. Drain. Add okra. Cook 5 minutes constantly stirring.
Add tomato and next 3 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until okra is tender. Serve over rice.

When you slow down enough to see the shadow under a person's foot as they walk - how it constantly changes size and form - then you can open your mind to see the world for its beauty. Nature has tought me the ability to see each and everything for its own grace and sprit. The balance in nature is proportion, yet trees, just like the human form, defies that; growing at their own strength, reaching for their own dreams, and stretching their own roots.
When starting the drawings it is a simple expression of energy threw the sharpie to the watercolor paper, there is the start of the spirit that comes thru the image of the tree. Sometimes the grace of the form come out in these drawings, many have told me they spot the human within the drawing.

During the past year I noticed a number of 'contributors' of which I think deserve a nomination as IBM Champion for IBM Social Business. My three nominees below have made, in my opinion, a considerable contribution to the community during the past year.
Two of these nominees are currently not IBM Champions for IBM Social Business but definitely deserve this.
For these nominations I looked objectively at the criteria of IBM 'Who should be nominated as an IBM Champion?'.
Who should be nominated as an IBM Champion?
Well, here are the detailed criteria (also described below), but maybe what would help are some examples of people who might be IBM Champions: The person in your company who knows everything there is to know about your IBM software or hardware and makes it all work together and is always the one answering everyone's questions. The person writing articles or books about IBM technology. The person with a blog who investigates and covers IBM technology. The person who runs the local meetup or user group covering IBM technology. The person whose Twitter stream is always sharing what they're building with IBM technology. The person making YouTube videos about developing with IBM technology. The person who has a couple of sessions every year at IBM and user group conferences and events… Those are all people who might be IBM Champions.
The IBM Champion program requires IBM advocacy and influence outside one's own organization or customer engagements. We also seek individuals that have significant contributions in at least 2-3 areas as defined below (significant contributions = a contribution, executed multiple times or for an extended period of time).
This can be blogging regularly, tweeting regularly (on topics relevant to our industry, but not necessarily IBM-specific tweets), speaking at multiple events in a calendar year, User Group Conference Planning Committee member (involves the execution of a conference or a part of the conference over a period of several months) or be a President or Board member of a worldwide or local user group for a period of 1 year.
My second IBM Champion Nominations for IBM Social Business.
|Matteo Bisi
|Csaba Kiss
|Patrick Kwinten
With these nominations I want to thank these nominees for their significant contribution to the community during the past year.
Take also the opportunity to nominate an influencer of IBM Social Business now. Nominations for the 2017 IBM Champion program will be accepted through November 14.
Say thank you, like I did, and Nominate an IBM Champion!
And remember, you can always nominate yourself!
If you need information about someone you want to nominate then take a look at his or her LinkedIn profile. Concerning the nomination form, just fill in what you know and submit the form!
Hopefully this blog post gives some inspiration to submit a IBM Champion nomination if you have not already done so. Why, because they deserve it!

London is now the new postcode for high net worth individuals from India
Over 3,000 families have bought residential and commercial properties in Londonreal estate Updated: Mar 21, 2016 14:57 IST
There's been much speculation over the properties owned by beleaguered businessman Vijay Mallya, in the eye of a storm for failing to honour loans worth Rs 9,000 crore from Indian banks.Various news reports say he has moved from his Baker Street home in London to his country home in Hertfordshire. For many Indians, the need to set roots in that country does not come as a suprise.
The reason why HNWIs from India remain focussed on the UK is because of London's reputation as a safe and stable place for investment, especially in the current volatile world economy. Its real estate has also been doing very well over the past few years due to increase in global investments resulting in an ever-increasing demand for space.
Wealthy Indian families and businesses are one of the largest overseas property buyers in prime central London areas such as Mayfair and Belgravia. It is estimated they have splashed almost £1billion on luxury homes and buildings in such exclusive areas in recent years. Over 3,000 Indian families owning property in famous London districts have invested in both luxury residential and prime commercial estates, especially Mayfair, which is the cultural and luxury hub of London. Other locations include St James, Kensington and Chelsea.
London based art curator Sharan Seth ensures that most of his meetings, events, art and luxury activities, auctions are held in and around Mayfair, which is one of the most visited places by tourists as well. "We are located close to this place and I will shortly be moving to peripheries of Mayfair as it's quite close to our workplace and a hub of our activities," he says
Figures from Luxhabitat, a real estate brokerage and interior design company, say Indian buyers are one of the largest overseas investors purchasing properties in Mayfair, making up a quarter of all sales. They continue to lead the way ahead of Russians, Middle Eastern and Asian buyers.
Zeyad Al Saffar, head of London luxury sales at Luxhabitat, says "I am not surprised that Indians are buying in London, with Mayfair the preferred postcode, boasting the finest British luxury brands in the world."An Indian family he says typically spends between £1 million and £20 million on buying a home in Mayfair, with 70% purchasing an apartment or penthouse. The rest want to buy large mansions, mews and beautiful Victorian style homes. Indian investors, apart from Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Mayfair and Chelsea, which are most definitely prime, also focus on close neighbourhoods, including Westminster, Victoria and Pimlico. These are the new luxury golden postcodes, with beautiful balcony views of the iconic Big Ben, London Eye and the famous Shard building.
Westminster is also definitely set to gain from the £2bn redevelopment of neighbouring Victoria and a ripple effect from prime central London.
Developers are converting old office buildings – often formerly owned or occupied by government departments – into new lateral homes with fantastic views of Big Ben and the River Thames. Real estate values have also been on the upswing. According to a recent report by property consultants Knight Frank, between July 2014 and July 2015, some 63% of buyers worth over £10 million were non-British. Among the non- Brits the biggest investors are from the Middle East, Qatar, Russia, China and India. According to a recent Savills report titled The World and London 2015, French buyers are concentrated in South West London, and prime Central is preferred by Indians.

ZOARVILLE The third annual Tuscarawas Valley Local Schools Speech Showcase featured 13 talented students during an event held recently.
ZOARVILLE The third annual Tuscarawas Valley Local Schools Speech Showcase featured 13 talented students during an event held recently.
Sophomore Drake Spina and Junior Alyssa Tausch both qualified for the National Individual Events Tournament of Champions. The event will be held May 12-14 in Kansas City, Mo. Tausch will compete in a Dramatic Interpretation, "Crafty" by Paul Rudnick.
Spina also has been selected to attend the National Speech and Debate Tournament in Birmingham, Alabama. He will compete in Humorous Interpretation titled "How to Kiss a Girl," by Wade Bradford. In 2016 Spina placed fourth at the state speech competition and 16th at the national level.
Both performed their interpretations during the showcase.
"We had seven seniors graduate, however we have some really talented freshman and still qualified 14 to the state speech tournament this year," coach Carrie Spina said.
According to Spina each student presents a 10 minute speech or skit. Some write their own, some are a published play or a book.
"Five years ago, we started the speech team with a 21st Century Grant," Spina explained. "There are many fees to be paid to participate in speech. The first year there were three students, the second year eight students participated and there were 15 the third year, last year there were 20 and this year there are also 20. One student participating is Jared Six, from Fairless. That school district does not have a speech and debate team."
Fourteen students qualified at the state level this year.
Spina said it will cost about $2,700 to attend the National Speech and Debate Tournament and about $900 to attend the NETOC competition. These costs do not include meals, gasoline to drive to Kansas City, and Birmingham plus numerous other cost. The program is not funded by the school district.
At the speech showcase Nate Ackerman, a senior performed "Knocking Discipline Out of the Park", an original oratory. He is an alternate to the National Speech and Debate Association.
Six, a freshman at Fairless, performed a dramatic interpretation titled "Stuck In Neutral" by Terry Trueman.
Junior Alexis Courtney gave a dramatic interpretation titled "PFC" by Juan Cruz, and freshman Angela Engohang gave a program oral interpretation "Snap."
Mariah Sanderson, a junior gave a declamation titled "Hero" by Abby Thomas. Landon Fox, a senior performed "Blue Genes" a program oral interpretation.
Delaney McConoha, a junior, gave a program oral interpretation, "America" and Ensleigh Hollon, a sophomore, presented an original oratory titled: "Rumination and Ruination: The Wrong Kind of R and R."
"Tradition 1A" a program oral interpretation was presented by senior Grant Gursky and Kaylyn Lloyd, a sophomore, gave a dramatic interpretation "Defying Gravity" by Jane Anderson.
"The Perfection of Rejection" — a declamation by Abby Thomas — was given by junior Nadine Steward.
Tuscarawas Valley is the only high school in the county with a speech team. Carrie Spina is the coach and Sierra Spina is the assistant coach.
The team is a member of the Ohio High School Speech League and competes in speech events throughout the state. The speech categories are Original Oratory, Informative, Declamation, Humorous and Dramatic Interpretation, Duo Interpretation and Program Oral Interpretation.
The speech showcase was the first event performed in the renovated Tuscarawas Valley High auditorium. Funds continue to be collected for microphones and headsets and a backdrop with costs estimated at over $35,000.
To donate toward the cost of attending the tournaments, contact Spina at 330-391-1604 or email@example.com.

Update on shooting and manhunt in Holly Pond / Walter area
Tei Ti Taimi, left, and Jason Stevens, right
LATEST: http://www.cullmantribune.com/articles/2018/01/13/2-suspects-hours-long-...
Updated 1-13-18 4:18 a.m.
The suspects, Tei Ti Taimi and the now-identified Jason Stevens, have been located and arrested.
Updated 1-13-18 1:15 a.m.
According to the Cullman County Sheriff's Office, the two children have been located and are safe. They are being brought to the sheriff's office.
Updated 1-13-18 12:52 a.m.
The suspects remain at large.
Updated 1-12-18 10 p.m.
Cullman County Sheriff Matt Gentry said in a press briefing a short while ago that the suspect in the shooting is still at large, and that there are two suspects, not one. One suspect has been identified as Tei Ti Taimi, 36. Gentry said there is one minor with the suspects, possibly two minors. Gentry said Taimi is the father and the custodial parent of the child (children). Gentry descirbed the second suspect as a white male.
The sheriff gave a more detailed picture of what transpired at Taimi's home on U.S. 278 at approximately 4 p.m. He said deputies were at the home following up on an investigation into a burglary that happened earlier Friday. He said in the course of the visit, Taimi and the other suspect barricaded themselves in the house, then were in a vehicle in the garage. While deputies spoke to the suspects from the outside of the garage, the suspects rammed through the garage from the inside and did strike multiple CCSO vehicles with their truck. During this time, there was gunfire. Gentry could not say who fired the shots, but did say he believed no one was injured. The suspects then fled in the truck, and some time later wrecked at Alabama Highway 91 and fled on foot.
Gentry advised residents in the Walter community to be aware that the suspects are in the area. He said people should lock their doors and pay attention to suspicious activity such as barking dogs and call the sheriff's office if they suspect suspicious activity. The number to the sheriff's office is 256-734-0342.
The Alabama State Bureau of Investigation has been called in to investigate due to the possibility of an officer-involved shooting.
About the shooting, Gentry said, "The officer was not hurt. We have been making contact with the suspect. He has talked fine, so we do not believe that anyone was struck."
Gentry said there has been contact made with Taimi through a family member and that the sheriff's office is trying to get Taimi to turn himself in.
The sheriff said Taimi was arrested on unrelated burglary charges in the same community a few weeks ago.
Updated 1-12-18 8:24 p.m.
A spokesman from the Cullman County Sheriff's Office has just told The Tribune that while he originally stated that the shooting happened near County Road 783 and U.S. Highway 278, the incident actually occurred in the 10000 block of U.S. 278, directly across the road from Pleasant View Baptist Church in Holly Pond, which is located at 10751 U.S. 278. The spokesman said the chase took them toward the CR 783 and 278 location.
Updated 1-12-18 7:55 p.m.
The suspect is still at large. Sheriff Matt Gentry will be holding a press conference tonight. Look for it to be streamed live on The Tribune's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/CullmanTribune.
Updated 1-12-18 5:42 p.m.
The Cullman County Sheriff's Office is looking for Tei Ti Taimi (PICTURED), 36, a suspect in tonight's shooting. He is believed to be in the Walter/Alabama Highway 91 area. He was last seen wearing a black motorcycle jacket and gray hoodie.
Please call the CCSO at 256-734-0342 if you come into contact with this subject or know where he might be.
HOLLY POND - Authorities are on the scene of a reported shooting in the Holly Pond community in the area of County Road 783 and U.S. Highway 278. The incident happened within the last hour.
According to a source within the CCSO, a deputy was allegedly shot at, but was not hit. Deputies chased the suspect, who is on foot off of Alabama Highway 91 and may have his 10-year-old daughter with him. The source said it is unknown why the suspect fired; the deputy had been on the scene for a follow-up interview. The source also said that dogs are en route to track the suspect.
This is a developing story.

The dog days of summer are upon us. The stifling hot makes many people just want to stay inside and not venture out at all. The market is having its own version of dog days. The uncertainties around the world are causing many investors to avoid stepping out into the markets.
Perhaps the best approach for these dog days is to take a look at some dog stocks. No, not the so-called "dogs of the Dow" -- I'm talking about real stocks for the dogs. Let's take a look at two possibilities.
10,000 reasons for pets to like it
If you need something for your dog, cat, or nearly any other pet, odds are that PetSmart
If it hasn't been raining cats and dogs in your part of the country, it could be. The most recent survey of pet owners conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) found that nearly 73 million U.S. households have a pet. The survey showed over 370 million pets in the U.S. (including 151 million freshwater fish).
PetSmart profits nicely from Americans' love for their pets. Last quarter's earnings were up 33.5% compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Earnings growth over the past three years averaged nearly 19% per year.
While PetSmart leads the pet products and services industry, it does have some big dog competitors. Wal-Mart
PetSmart has been able to effectively exploit these advantages. Over the past five years, the company's earnings-per-share growth beat both of these larger competitors.
Rx for Rex
Another dog-days stock that some investors might not be familiar with is MWI Veterinary Supply
While independent veterinary practices account for most of its sales, MWI has had a long relationship with Banfield, the largest private veterinary practice in the U.S. Banfield operates around 800 veterinary hospitals located in PetSmart stores.
MWI grew earnings by 27.5% in its most recent quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior year. These earnings results were driven by strong revenue growth of 38.2% year on year. MWI's late-2011 acquisition of Micro Beef Technologies accounted for a significant portion of this revenue growth.
Several other distributors compete with MWI, but the company's biggest threat could come from its vendors. Pfizer
Large vendors like Pfizer present another type of challenge, also. Any decisions by these major vendors to significantly change distributor relationships could mean trouble for MWI.
MWI has flourished despite the competition. Shares are up 34% so far this year. However, the drought throughout much of the U.S. and higher commodity prices could impact MWI's production animal business in the near term.
Pound for pound
Which stock is the better play for investors? Pound for pound, I would have to go with PetSmart. The stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 18, compared with a forward P/E multiple approaching 20 for MWI.
PetSmart's dividend yield currently stands at 1% with a low payout ratio of 20%, indicating that the company should be in good shape to keep the dividends flowing. MWI does not currently pay a dividend.
In terms of competitive advantages, PetSmart appears to be the stronger of the two. While MWI boasts several compelling strengths, PetSmart's dominance in the pet products and services niche appears to give it a reasonably strong moat.
Should investors go ahead and buy a stock for the dogs during these hot dog days of summer? The risks seem high with the European situation threatening to drag down markets yet again. But who knows? Maybe this threat will be all bark and no bite, even though the prudent approach seems to be keeping investing activity on a tight leash.

These are some tools i use frequently:
Here you type in the beginning letters of a word you know to see which other
words come up and have analogy. I mean the above link, for greek cabala, Fulcanelli...
Here you can do the same for etymological roots:
This is one of the best for Hebrew gematria:
I use this for greek but it's not so good. Maybe there's a better:
If it's associated to the Bible, this may be useful, but it also complicates things
because it has so many variants other than the root word that shows up. But you can check
the strong's concordance on the site:
And this one to read hebrew and greek of the bible to find the gematria -
you have to know how to add them youself. But again you can check concordance
and compare with other translation and stuff. Really good site IMO:

Life Insurance - Introduction to Policies, Quotes and What It Means
Life Insurance – What This Term Really Mean?
Life insurance is the best way of providing protection to all your loved ones and family members in case you pass away; well, the reality is harsh but this is true and you never know when the time comes. It is important to know what life insurance is and what the benefits you can avail with it are. There are certain life insurance policies that work in their own various ways in providing some good will to your left over family if you are no more. There are certain important things you need to know so I am briefing a few common ones below.
Life insurance is crucial especially when it is about providing protection to your family if you die suddenly; you have to do this. There are no buts, if, or ands about this topic because you cannot leave them hanging over with problems such as the funeral costs that can start from around 15 thousand dollars and go all the way to 50 thousand dollars just for a basic burial and ceremony. Your death ceremony alone can turn out to be really expensive and it can alone change the entire way your family is living or will live after you are not there.
There are various life insurance benefits to avail and they usually your loved ones will avail them if something happens to you. Choosing the right policy is important to get your family's life better financially if you die. Your family would already be stressed, tensed, and grieved upon your death so why put them under financial pressure as well? Life insurance can easily help them cover up all the bills or costs regarding your funeral and finance them more in order to lead a normal life even when you are not there.
The only way to realize the important of life insurance is to have a picture of what can happen if you die without having life insurance. Imagine if you have to die tomorrow and your life is not insured; what would your family do then? How will they manage paying the bills or accommodate the income that you used to make for them? Life can really get out of control once the money problem steps in. You can easily save your family members from all of such troubles by getting the right life insurance policy for yourself immediately.
Importance of Buying a Life Insurance Policy
Getting a life insurance policy counts as the best investment you would ever do to secure your family's future from the financial perspective. However, when getting a life insurance policy you cannot keep your eyes closed and you have to be careful. In fact, I would say that all sorts of financial investments should be done after thorough research and learning about every single aspect. The major factor regarding the life insurance policies is that you should get sufficient coverage in a reasonable price; the cost of your insurance premium needs to be lowered down and there are ways to get this done.
Always consider purchasing a life insurance policy when you are young; earlier is better. Many people think that life insurance is useless for them when they are young because they think that it is just the beginning; eventually they end up losing so much money on buying the policy later on. Life insurance companies would provide you with the best rates if you take this decision earlier in your life. If you get your life insurance done in a younger age; even the insurance premiums would cost you a lot cheaper.
When you are buying a life insurance policy; always calculated the costs that would include your premium assets like your home and annual earnings. If suppose the time comes and you depart; your family should get enough that all those costs should be easily covered through your life insurance. Consider getting coverage for as much financial loss as you can while your younger days are going on. You also need to make sure that your insurance company is considering your age while increasing the insurance premium; half birthday should not be used for this matter. Half birthday means raising premiums after every six months even before you get a year older. In this case, over 20 years of time you would be paying a lot more.
You need to educate yourself sufficiently and make the right decision regarding the life insurance policy term. Everyone carries different needs therefore a single policy cannot fit all; see what type of policy would suit your requirements. If you are around 25 to 30 years old then go for a 20 year long life insurance policy. Similarly, if your retirement days are coming closer then opting for a ten year policy would be a wise decision to make. Think of your family's future and secure them right away.
Life Insurance Policies – Availability of Different Options
Times have changed these days as you can easily opt for an insurance policy online but this might limit the communications that would make things even better between the company and you. This is the reason why you need to do proper research and gain knowledge over various life insurance policies to know what you need, what you should do, and what each of the policy contains. An example would be; avoid over buying insurance, you need to make sure that you not over-covered under a life insurance policy. If you are over-insured then the insurance premium would also go up till the roof for you. Similarly, you can also not settle for a policy that would provide you enough coverage.
The premium rate gets affected by various different factors such as your health for instance. If you are in good shape and healthy; you will pay lesser premiums compared to several others. Things such as a bad driving history, obesity, drugs, drinking, smoking, and other such extreme hobbies would surely raise your premiums causing you to pay a lot more that would make sure life insurance policy a burden. Also, make sure you do not lie at any single step when the process of your policy is going on. If your insurance company finds out that you gave them false information at any time in your application; your policy might even get cancelled without any warnings and you will lose all your money.
I have seen cases where people were non-smokers and started smoking till the day they died; because of this one small change in their lifestyle the company denied to pay the funds to their families. This might be very dangerous and your loved ones can get into some serious trouble having no financial support or you with them.
Remember, the younger you are the better it is you take a life insurance policy. You can easily choose and get cheaper rates in those young days. Even if there is no financial dependent present; you can still choose from a number of life insurance policies so choose wisely. Lastly, never depend on the life insurance plan provided by your employer because these are provided in groups and same policies are given to all the employees; this might not suite your needs that well. Get your own life insurance policy that would suit your needs and cover your requirements like you want it to.
Steps Involved in Getting Term Life Insurance Quotes
There are so many sources through which you can easily get term life insurance quotes. These quotes can then be used to compare policies and decide where to buy your life insurance from. The recommendation of Insurance Information Institute is to get term life insurance quotes from at least different insurance companies and compare them. I am listing below the basic resources of acquiring these quotes.
Internet is surely the number one and the most common way of getting any insurance quotes. There is a online quote application or request form that you have to fill in that ask you about your health, age, and the desired coverage amount and term length. After getting this done you will then start receiving quotes from companies, agencies, and brokerages. Once you find the quotes that you are interested in, compare them and finally choose one. You can then contact the company and talk to a representation to clear up things and make sure that this is the right type of term life insurance policy for you.
Also, many people make use of insurance comparison websites; this makes your quotes shopping even easier. Usually, such websites would have a single form that you will complete and it will automatically get delivered to several insurance companies, agencies, and brokerages. In the end you will get several quotes that you can choose from.
You can also get term life insurance quotes directly through a financial advisor or an agent. This would require you to have an agent or advisor who is already there for you; these are the people from whom you can get quotes from. They can easily help you find out the best quotes and choose the right type of coverage covering your situation sufficiently. Now, there are agents or advisors that might represent just one insurance company to you so in this case you should acquire quotes from else where as well. The main reason behind this is getting the best rates; term life insurance costs vary depending on the company.
Lastly, you can get term life insurance quotes through mail or directly by phone. There are several commercial and advertisements regarding term life insurance on television. You can simply call up their toll free number to ask for the quotes. They will be mailed directly at your door step in a day or two. Remember, I would suggest that doing it online is the best way.
Universal Life Insurance – A Brief Introduction
Universal life insurance is a pretty common life insurance type that people are opting for these days. It is basically designed to give out a death benefit at the time of the insured person's death. Another advantage is the premium rates that would depend on the market and its interest rates. There are a number of benefits that you can get with a universal life insurance policy.
Security is the first great feature of universal life insurance. There are many incidents that can cause a sudden death of the person and his or her family goes through a lot of grief and tension; eventually the financial hardship also steps in to make things worse. Universal life insurance makes sure that such incidents are also covered and sudden deaths can also be compensated with your loved ones in the form of financial benefits. Secondly, you also get to enjoy some flexibility in this insurance type; the amount of life insurance is decided by you along with the benefits and premium payments as well. The schedules when premium payments should be done can be adjusted by you at any time you want and even the death benefit amount can be changed incase you decide to do so.
The interest rate is also guaranteed in universal life insurance. Your account value would grow on a certain interest rate and that rate would not come down below a defined level that means you can continue earning money and your family's protection would stay or rise even more. In case you die suddenly due to an incident or any other cause; the death benefit would proceed and the insurance fund would be given to your chosen beneficiary without any income tax charges on it. What more can you ask for? It is simply amazing.
However, remember that every benefit comes along a risk as well. The risk over here would the market of interest rate that you need to keep an eye on at all times. In case the rates raise up then your policy's value would get higher as well. In case the market is going low; the case value would get diminished therefore CIO will be applied. What you can do then is pay higher premium rates when they are actually low in order to be on the safe side. When the market would rise back up; you will already be safe from losing money or paying a lot more.

Mar 1st-Annie's due date
Annie at Christmas time
A week ago with Mattie
Ok so I am far away from my daughter Annie that is about to make me an Oma once again. Tomorrow is her due date. She is in Stuttgart, Germany and I am waiting anxiously for Charlie's arrival. I love his name and LOVE him so much already. It is very painful being so far away. I was in Germany for Madeline's arrival 2 years ago and it was one of the most marvelous things I've ever witnessed. I am taking my phone to bed with me so that I can be woke up for the magical moment! I love you Cookie all will be just perfect. What do you think, tonight???
Is it possible that Charlie can be as cute as Madeline?

Bedroom, Master Bath Help!!!!
Got the Bed in the bag and I love the copper/gold/ browns. The headboard is just a panel. Needed the bench for Spanky to climb up on. I can't wait to go shopping for material for the window treatments and side round table. So much to do.
This room is painted Sherwin Williams Nomadic Desert SW6107 (the base of the rest of the house, choosen because it works with the tile throughout). The Hubs jumped the gun on this.....I wanted him to wait until I figured out what to do in here, but it is better than the white. Wondering if I should use the dining room color....my favorite to date SW6109 Hopsack??????
This needs big time HELP!!! There is a lady that makes furniture and that maybe what needs to happen.
Master Bathroom is very large so much space to do some cool things....just have to figure out what cool things? I am into brown right now and so big brown towels are hung for now.
Lots of caramel colored tile in here and the orange cabinets and white walls.....yikes, I'm in over my head here.
I see a huge piece of something...a wood bench/towel holder/cabinet? Something that transforms this bathroom to a Spa feel, would lucious drapery be too over the top?

More accessories
Real plant & pot from Home Depot $21.99, Ross frame $4.99, seeing Matthew smiling....Priceless!
I hauled this from Montana, a purchase last summer for $15, it was not sturdy enough for candles until the Hubs (or was it Doug) got hold of it with some kind of a tool...the candles from Target 4 for $9.99, cost more than this piece of beautiful ironwork.
I got this and the art piece above the fireplace at the C.O.D. (College of the Desert streetfair) from an art dealer, that buys from Mexico, I have to get a great little table under this......This is a hallway to our bedroom. I thought it would go good in the dining room but too much wood out there already and it was too small.
Ok I know it doesn't go but how could I resist a bit of feminity in Gary's den?
When buying this 32" TV off Craigslist for Gary's den there was this Tiffany style lamp she wanted to get rid of ...$20, light bulbs included! She said she loved it but her new husband didn't want it, too funny, if I would have had the time to talk to this young bride.............. !!!!!!!!

It's the little things...thanks Cheryl and Beatrice
Accessories are probably the most important. I have been able to find some great "stuffers" at TJMaxx, Ross, Michaels. However there has to be a great POP and I found that at
Art in Nature
She is the best and comes up with the most unique arrangements I've ever seen. I wanted this for my coffee table because it was low and soooo pretty, however the candles (which are beautiful) are way too powerful and spicy for me, just too strong, so it is now above the TV and I hope it gets it's due appreciation way up there.
I found the coffee table at the clearance part of the furniture store, it had a chip in the glass and the TV box at TJ Maxx is my favorite, well except Matthews picture frame $4.99 Ross!
My $50 lamp table, well I had to go get the glass put in and that was $40, but the original price was $389 so I'm ahead on this one!
I love my big pillows
While at Beatrices I bought some silks for a $10 Ross vase and look what Cheryl made with them, she is incredible and boy I could have used and abused her more, but she left...did I run her off?

To Pool or not to Pool
I think it is imperative that living in Palm Springs means living with a pool, right? Our beautiful big back yard now clean of all overgrown bushes, Palm Trees and insect nests is missing something.....
Or maybe this.....
I might get my friends to visit me more often I bet?

It's a Jungle out there
The back yard
Our back yard was like a jungle when we got here, so many beautiful bushes full of flowers. My hubby went crazy that the gardener had let it get out of control...I loved the flowers but knew he was right when saying it all had to be cut back...so in 2 months they say I might see my "Bougainvillea" (I had to google that to spell it right) again. I love that prickly red bush and hope to have so much that someday this place will look like a mission from San Juan Capistrano.
After 2 weeks we have no flowers but, new lights, new sod, a working pond and everything looks manicured
All cactus came out and the bougainvillea went in

So, on to the Maui trip.......the first few days in Maui were knackering. Both me and Ali didn't really realise just how tired we were but we were just chilling and getting over the travel. The accommodation booked through AirBnB was a lovely little condo in Napili Ridge about 5 minutes walk from a gorgeous sandy beach overlooking Molokai island and about a 5min drive from the race venue....perfect. Add to that a small reef about 50m off the beach out housing some Green turtles and lots of brightly coloured fish and this made for perfect snorkelling.
I wasn't able to train since crashing in Xterra Denmark and I was hoping to blag my way though the World Champs. My knee would be painful the day after any exercise so I recce'd the run course early in the week with Ian Blackie-Smith and a an easy ride on the first and last section of the bike course. I managed to ride the full bike course at a steady pace on the day the course opened and managed to snap my chain FFS! It was brand new after rusting up overnight in the bike bag after the Danish race. To say I was unimpressed was in understatement. £25 down the drain then another £50 to spent in Hawaii........nothing in Hawaii is cheap! Even local produce is expensive. I saw a women pay over £10 for a local pineapple and breakfast on the first day cost over £30...yep not $'s. Effing Brexit didn't help matters! Anyway I digress......
|Recce ride ....taking in the views
I also attended the European Tour podium medallist ceremony to receive my gold medal and tour winners jersey from Nico Lebrun and Dave 'Kahuna' Nicholson. Big smiles to know this was my first full season. EUROPEAN TOUR WINNER! get in!
Two days before the race and the bike has been polished and lubed and ready to go then the heavens opened with rain. It rains a lot in the Hawaiian Islands but the sun comes up and dries it away, usually, but incy wincy spider wasn't climbing any spout. For two days it rained, and rained and rained. This was Xterra Switzerland, France and Denmark all over again but without my fitness to counter the off bike lugging up hill jaunts. No breaks for World Championships race then. Then just to make it more interesting the surf gets up big time making it rougher than an unstable twin-tub.
race morning comes and rice pudding downed then off to rack up and have a traditional Hawaiian blessing by Clifford Naeole. It was really quite spiritual and focussing to have this and I'll take anything to get me through this course.
|The surf doesn't look big but...6ft waves!
Now comes the tricky bit.....I know its going to be tough and muddy but ffs this was ridiculous. The first 8 miles took over 90 minutes and at one point I was picking the mud out of the wheels and chainset then trying to ride only by the time I leapt onto the saddle the wheels had clogged up again. At one point there was a group of riders taking the piss and laughing and joking about the prospect of a new format..1500m swim:26.2 miles hikeabike. Walking was common and carrying the bike inevitable if you wanted to get to the top of a hill without dragging a 20kg mud bike. Some riders obviously could ride through it and for sure I need to learn to ride in mud, or at least learn how others are doing it. different tyres for starters. Narrow apparently are better and maybe I should consider a Cannondale Leftie to free up some front fork space. Something to consider but for now money dictates I stick with my Scott.
|Mud, mud, mud!
|Racing to the shower.... heading out of T1 and to the hills
I had estimated a 3:30hrs race and finished in 4:37hrs. I had hoped for top ten and to maintain my Xterra record so far. I have always been ahead of Christophe Maury in the head to heads but he was having a great race and I clearly wasn't and I can only compare the past. I was 1st in Greece when Frank was 2nd and Christophe 3rd. In Maui I was 31st, Frank 12th and Christophe 18th. It is what it is but I am disappointed and set myself realistic and achievable goal. This time I failed to do that but with good reason.
One thing about Xterra is that everyone is so friendly. This year I have raced with some great guys and made loads of new friend, home and abroad. The elite or professional athletes are so down to earth too. I'm 48 year old now but on occasion I've been mixing it up with the pro's and after the race we all chat and all get just excited about our races. The World Champs was no different to any other race this year except the standard was greater. Sebastian Kienle, fresh (?) from 2nd at Kona was there as was Ben Hoffman (4th) aiming for the double but it was ben who took the overall time honours with his 7th place again Seb's 11th. Last years winner Josiah Middaugh was 5th this time and all eyes were on Ruben Ruzafa to take the top spot with the slippery MTB course suiting him. ben Allen led the swim but it was the amazing 21 year Mauricio (Mau) Mendez who overtook Ruben at speed during the run and posted the best split to take the World Championships by two minutes. Its difficult to see how anyone will cope with him over the next few years with age and speed on his side. He also won Los Cabos 70.3 the week after! Oh to be young again.
Maui wasn't all about the race although that was the reason for going but Ali and I took in some of the sights. Haleakala is the highest point and we could see Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, the volcanoes on Big Island, 80 and 100 miles away above the clouds. I love wildlife and we went looking for Jackson's chameleons at Kula and Nene geese on the top of Haleakala but we were disappointed. We had plenty of Cane toads around the condo and massive snails which may have been the invasive African Giant snails. One thing we may have to do is go back again out of race season to see the whales migrate between the islands.
|Chief supporter Ali and me on top of the world.
|European Tour 2016 - Winner medal and jersey....1st season too! proud and chuffed to bits
2017 will be less travelling due to our wedding but there is London marathon to train for and 70.3 Dublin on the cards along with a few more Xterra but for now its a little more down time and recover and rehab.
Big thanks must go to Ali for following around Europe this year and too all the support from family and friends whilst we have been away. Thanks to Chris Stirling for putting me onto CurraNZ tht has eliminated DOMS and to Ian Blackie-Smith for helping us when the hire care keys went for a drive without us in Denmark! To Christophe for the competition. Xterra Wetsuits UK for the Xterra Vector Pro that gave me some great times in the wetsuit races, Malta, Greece and France etc.
Roll on 2017!

Bontrager's AW1 Hard-Case Tire is a great choice for riders who value flat protection, all-weather traction, and high-mileage durability. Its sub-tread puncture barrier keeps you rolling so you can concentrate on putting in the miles, and the bead-to-bead barrier protects you from sidewall cuts. This tire also sports a siped tread pattern for improved traction in wet or messy conditions.

I don't like this tire
By Thom
from Portland
About Me Intermediate
Replaced my Gatorskin rear 700x23 with this one in 700x25 on Mechanic's advice and the bike no longer feels nimble. Topped off pressure this morning just to be sure it wasn't low pressure, and it feels like I'm riding in mud. Don't know if it is the size or the tire, but it's going back to the Gatorskin tomorrow.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Awesome Tires
By Whiteshoes
from Appleton,Wi
About Me
came as original equipment on my Trek 520 Average over 150 miles per week riding back & forth to work and with weekend rides these tires are awesome. when it did come time to replace my original tires I did try some other brand on recommendations from others, but quickly noticed the wet traction just wasn't the same. I'm now riding on the AW1 again and feeling confident again.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Excellent Product
By Tony S
from Nixa, Missouri
700x32's came as original equipment on my Trek 520. I couldn't ask for a better tire. Between commuting, training and errands I ride 150+ miles a week on gravel roads & trails, back roads, city streets and shoulders of highways. Covering the same routes which on my old tires resulted in on average 1 flat a week, with 3 months of use, no flats on these.
In addition to the flat protection,cornering and wet traction give you confidence to push the envelope. Statred out with 60psi and am now up to 95psi without any marked degradation of either parameter.
Great Upgrade
By KDubb
from Seattle, WA
Just put a pair of these on today to replace the stock R2's that came with my Domane 4.5. The R2 is a good tire that I put 1100+ miles on but the trade-off to an easy roll is the durability. The two flats I did get on the R2s were from pretty minor debris and I wanted to have more confidence with a tire that is more durable. The short ride I took today with the A1s already validated my purchase - they feel much better rolling over rough asphalt littered with post-winter gravel.
