One Direction + Kesha Get Mashed Up in 'Live While We Die Young'
Our flawless cannibal queen Kesha gets mashed up with our pop princes One Direction in a seamless, super-catchy mix, aptly titled 'Live While We Die Young.'
Both songs are anthems to seizing the moment and making the most of the time you have with a new hottie -- and they're both insanely infectious on their own, so you can only imagine what kind of an earworm this remix is. The vocals are a mix of Kesha and 1D, while the production and instrumentals are all K-Dollar-Sign.
Considering Kesha's recent video treatment for 'Die Young' was an apocalyptic one, it's an interesting juxtaposition with 1D's fun-loving campfire singalong. The last lines begin with Kesha's chanting and end, happily, with Zayn Malik's sweet croon.
'Live While We Die Young' isn't the only time Kesha and 1D have met up in a mashup. Another audio genius mashed the vocals from 'Die Young' with the instrumental production of 'What Makes You Beautiful,' creating a cheeky, teen-pop version of her carpe diem hit called 'What Makes You Die Young.' Another fan created a mashup called 'Die While We're Young' (morbid!) featuring One Direction's vocals over Kesha's beat.

3D interior visualisations
3D Interior visualisations are often overlooked, but can be key in selling ideas to potential investors. Our team at CRISP3D are often approached by designers, developers and estate agents to produce high-quality interior visualisations to sell off-plan schemes, or to unlock the potential of existing buildings by using our library of designer furniture. Clients find that, while conventional drawings help to define spaces, high quality, accurate 3d interior visualisations can help you in developing an atmosphere or environment. Using eye-catching visualisations in this way means that end users are able to effectively see themselves using the spaces. The flexibility and realism of 3d interior visualisations can allow for ideas to develop and change freely, while highlighting design issues along the way. This, ultimately, can help in avoiding costly mistakes.
3d internal visualisations in design development
3d Internal CGI's are superb at ensuring that any potential design issues are spotted early. This can potentially save a lot of money in the long run! Internal visualisation is perfect for enabling builders, designers and ultimately users see exactly what they are working towards. This way, money can be saved and ideas and plans can be changed or moved around with ease. High quality 3d interior visualisation is particularly beneficial to all involved, as it allows all involved to see everything as it is intended to be designed.
3d internal visualisations in marketing
When it comes to producing effective marketing material, internal visualisations make the perfect advertisement. Online, offline or elsewhere, these interior mock-ups provide viewers with a view into the future – what the end project will look like, and what is to be expected once all designing and manufacture is completed. These high-quality visualisations can help to sell the interior of a home design with very little effort. Therefore, they are widely used to market and project potential designs with ease.

It was an absolutely glorious day outside. The sun was shining bright over the Tower Bridge.
From the Tower we spent a bunch of time just walking around the city, visited Shakespeare's Globe theatre, from the outside, walked past St. Paul's Cathedral, and eventually made it to a place called the Anchor Bankside for lunch. It had me at the word anchor. :) And I couldn't pass up the opportunity to let my inner Delta Gamma come out and pose in front of it. It was an awesome lunch, one of our favorites. It serves very classically British food. We got the "Favourites Platter" complete with 2 burger sliders, two minced beef pies, fish and chips, and mushy peas. And some pear cider. We decided pretty quick that we were not huge fans of the brews in London, but the various ciders were where it was at. We also got some kind of amazing fried bbq pork bites from the appetizer menu that also really stole our hearts.
So it is going to look like pretty much all we did this day was eat. And I guess that is a fair assessment. We did a lot of walking too to make up for it. Our final adventure for the day was a twilight walking food tour through Soho. Food tours are one of our favorite things to do in new cities because it lets you sample small bites of food from lots of cool local places but the interactions with the tour guide and fellow tourers is also really fun. Our London food tour was booked through a company called Eating London.
We met our group of maybe 12 people next to the Palace Theatre, and from there walked all around Soho, where we had not spent any time thus far. The local restaurants of Soho are quite the eclectic and diverse bunch, much like the past and present people and activities of the neighborhood. Over the course of the night we sampled real English gin and tonic, Jamon, tacos, Spanish tapas, tiramisu, Chinese dumplings, and a margarita. Needlesstosay we did not leave hungry. It was such a fun, fun night.
And that's a wrap on London. We absolutely loved our time there and said we could have easily and happily spent a lot more time exploring and nestling into the culture there. Until next time London. Now it is time to jump on the Eurostar and head to Paris.

Viewing posts for the category debian
I was consulting a small company with a couple Debian servers the other day and I found that they did not have some packages that I expected to be there. Now thinking about it on every server that I install or take over the first thing I do is install a bunch of packages, such as: sudo, mc, wajig, localepurge and a bunch of others that I can't remember at the first moment, but that I re-discover each time I find them missing. I assume that other people have discovered other great non-standard tools that I am missing out on.
In the Latvian l10n community we often deal with the problem of mistranslation of common words such as "file", "preferences" and "advanced". There are several words that fit each of those and over the years preferences in the community have shifted back and forth.
I have decided to do something special for my 25th birthday this year so I have made plans to visit Frankfurt from 23rd to 25th of March with my girlfriend. Her birthday is just a day before mine.
A few days ago I got myself an Asus EEEPC to experiment with it being in a role of a small server and a tiny internet kiosk. I installed Debian on it, but the process was not for the feint of heart, that's for sure. First of all the d-i font was messed up and all the menus overflowed the screen making it very hard to select anything. Additionally it seems very strange to me that there was a special d-i image made for EEEPC, but that image did not include built-in support for the computers wired or wireless network interfaces. That made my day highly problematic as I do not have an easy way to get to the Internet via a wired connection and the provided d-i image did not have enough files on it to finish the base install without networking.
This again made me think that the approach Ubuntu took is more favorable in most situations - have the install image boot a mostly functional system (it does not have to be X even) and then install from there. It actually feels more flexible than using the highly restricted d-i environment.
I will be looking to make a Debian rescue image designed for the EEEPC that you could dd onto a USB key, boot from and have a minimal Debian system with working ethernet, wifi and some basic rescue tools and a way to install a basic Debian system as well. That should make it much easier for people to get Debian onto their EEE PCs. I do hope that the Debian EEEPC project will improve as well.
I've been there before, but somehow I hoped that HP has come to its senses, so when my girlfriend got a HP Compaq 6715b laptop with a Broadcom wifi card that does not work with the open source driver and randomly crashes under load with ndiswrapper driver, I said - "well, I'll just get an Intel mini-PCIe wifi card and plug it in". I should have know better.
If you want to use encfs module from FUSE to encrypt some of your files and do not want to go into the command line to mount and unmount that encrypted folder, here is what you do:
I have this USB hard drive enclosure that can also share the files on the local network (LAN DRIVE HD9-U2LA, vendor id - 05e3:0702). Due to that it has an operating system and some other software inside. Unfortunately this software is rather slow to start and that cause the following kernel error when trying to mount this enclosure:
[90459.236000] usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
[90459.368000] usb 5-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

AJ, if some blogs would support comments, I would leave my opinion there and not add noise to the planet.
Bernhard It is possible that you are not alone but nether are defenders of freedom if information production and distribution and in particular of freedom of speech. Trying to restrict what words people can or can not use (by labeling them sexist, racist or obscene) is the bread and butter of modern day media censorship. It is censorship and not "just political correctness". While I would not want people trying to limit contributions to Debian only to "smart and educated white people" (racism) or "logically thinking males" (sexism), going the other way and excluding people from Debian because their remarks or way of thinking might offend someone is just offensive to me. That is against the spirit of information freedom that free software is built upon.
Everyone knows that Webmin is nasty - it does things in wrong way on a pure and nice Debian (and Ubuntu) systems and for some reason is not included in Debian (post-sarge) or Ubuntu. That does not inspire confidence in a root-running web based software to say the least.
I have a need to have a Linux server and give an administrator the ability to add/remove users, configure some LAMP settings, some email settings (SMTP, POP, IMAP, Spam/Virus protection), Samba and those kinds of everyday system administration tasks on a SOHO Linux server without having to know much about Linux.

Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Rashid Latif has heaped praise on legendary India glovesman Mahendra Singh Dhoni for changing the face of Indian cricket.
After Kapil Dev's success in the era of 1970s and 80s, India found quite a few small town heroes but none made as much impact as Dhoni, who led India to three ICC trophy triumphs.
Speaking to Gulf News about the current wicketkeepers in world cricket, Latif said: "Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a very good ambassador of the game not only for India but for all over the world. A cool guy and that's why India had lot of success under him. He is a very good human being too."
Rashid, who is currently playing the role of Director of Cricket Operations for Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Karachi Kings, though feels that Dhoni isn't the best wicketkeeper in the world right now.
"I feel De Kock is the best wicketkeeper after Jeffrey Dujon," he added.
Highlighting the significance of fitness, Latif said it is a vital aspect of contemporary cricket.
"I believe strongly in fitness. Cricket is a skilled game but you need fitness. Awareness of the game is vital for success in international cricket. By fitness I don't mean that as a cricketer one has to be as fit like legendary runner Usain Bolt. In cricket you also need to have mental strength," he commented.
Latif wants everyone to sharpen their skills through hard work.
"I believe that if you have skill one can handle the pressures. It applies to every person, even a banker or any employee of an organisation. You have to strengthen your knowledge of the game," he explained.
Rashid Latif, who has previously coached the Afghanistan cricket team, also talked about the culture of Afghanistan cricket.
"Afghanistan is totally a different team. They don't need coaching. I feel they are very skilful players and very strong mentally. All that they need is good motivation," Latif opined.
Although Latif admitted that he never played Twenty20 cricket, but he knows what it takes to win matches.
"I have not played T20 cricket but as I qualified as a coach, I tell the boys that winning is all about game awareness," Rashid Latif concluded.

Building Your Team
Building Your Team
Building a team can be challenging if you don't have a large group of running friends. However, even if you do have an already made team, keep reading because some of these ideas may come in handy to find replacements if you lose a runner or two leading up to the race.
You might say 'This race sounds awesome, but can I really get 11 other people (or 5 for the Palmetto70) to sign-up with me?' The answer is YES. In fact, the approach we are about to share has been used successfully by us multiple times. One of the greatest things about this approach is that your team will be made up of a few individuals who you know, but also likely some new friends that will soon become old friends over the course of the relay experience.
- Find at least 3 - 4 runners to commit to the relay quest
- Share with them that you really want them on your team, but they must agree to ask at least 2 - 3 other runners to join in too
- Clearly not everyone will say yes, but the power of networking really does work
- Then each new runner repeats this process until you have your team

A dessert that isn't too high in sugar content and my boys love (well, who doesn't love dessert really?!)
My eldest helped me make this, and even took along some pictures and the recipe to his daycare for news day. His daycare was so great that they even made this with his classmates a few days later. All the kids got to help cut up the apples, smell the cinnamon and taste the apple mixture before it was baked. And dessert at daycare that day was….. apple strudel.
My kids love helping out in the kitchen. That they love the finished product is even better 🙂

Website Repair
A slow, ugly or malfunctioning website can do more harm than no website at all.
A slow, ugly or malfunctioning website can do more harm than no website at all.
Even a broken-link can send a potential customer straight back to the search engine to look for a competitor. A site which looks the business on the surface may have inefficiencies, errors or problems which only search engines pick up on. These hidden penalties could be why your site is nowhere to be found on Google.
Many amateur sites, especially ones which use a database are written in an inefficient manner. Should the popularity of a site increase, or as more content is added, these inefficiencies manifest themselves in the form of slow page-loads – turning off potential customers who expect a page to load quickly.
There is nothing more embarrassing and potentially damaging to an online presence than a hacked website which may be flagged for hosting malicious files or redirect a customer to an inappropriate unrelated website. Most of the time breaches like this are the result of lack of security on the PCs connecting to the site, or insufficiently strong passwords. A smaller percentage of the time there may be vulnerable code on the website itself which allows an unscrupulous visitor access to the website. Once your site is clean we can offer advice on security, investigate where breaches may have occurred and fix the vulnerabilities.
Please contact us for a free consultation and estimate.

GoDaddy's domain aftermarket will soon offer all domains already listed through Sedo, according to a source familiar with the agreement.
GoDaddy already offers domains listed through Afternic DLS and recently completed integration to offer domains owned and operated by Tucows. GoDaddy, already the largest domain aftermarket by way of amount of domains sold, sets itself up to be the aftermarket powerhouse by integrating the two largest aftermarkets by way of sales numbers.
It is unclear how Sedo domains will be integrated into GoDaddy's system, but will most likely appear in the registration path as Afternic and Tucows domains do. Also unclear is how payments and domain transfers will be handled.
Full integration is expected to be completed by early next year.

A few folks out there have wondered if I've lost my touch, namely my love for all things shiny such as my leather pants and leather skirts. (Some will recall I have quite the collection: 19 pairs of leather pants, different styles and colors but mainly dark colors and 12 different leather skirts, ranging in style, color and length.) As it was pointed out to me on more than one occasion, it is the season for them. And while "leather pants season" technically begins in the fall and runs through until the spring, I feel I haven't really been doing my part to uphold my own tradition.
As I've said recently, a lot has happened in the past year and maybe I lost a bit of my mojo when it came to dressing up. Normally I wouldn't think twice about reaching into my closet and pulling out a pair of leather pants and squeezing and tucking myself into them. But with my frame of mind being where it was for the past little while, jeans or even track pants suddenly became an outfit of choice. In fact, those became my go-to outfits when I just didn't feel like making even the slightest effort, which sadly happened more times than I care to admit.
Although things are on the turn-around I think. Weights have been lifted and it seems that I have less to worry about (I'll keep my fingers, toes and other body parts crossed) so maybe I will make the most of the leather pants/skirt season while the weather is cool enough to do so.
However honestly, down in Jersey there isn't as much a market for for the whole leather look as there is in Toronto. It probably has something to do with being a more cosmopolitan big city. While I wouldn't normally think twice about leather when going out to do something as simple as grocery shopping at Loblaws or going to IKEA, I always felt a little out of place wearing leather when I'm back home, almost as if I was drawing too much attention to myself.

Weather . Overcast. Slightly too chilly to go sans socks.
Not too long ago I saw an OOTD post by Kristin inspired by the Glitter Guide's 5 Things to Try This Weekend It just so happened that the very day I read this post I was wearing almost* exactly the same outfit the Glitter Guide was challenging** us to wear! Obviously, I stopped everything I was doing to snap a couple of photos so that I too could glitter it up on the inter-webs.
*I was not wearing my trench in-doors at the time
**Challenging may be a bit of an exaggeration on our part considering that breton stripes & jeans are the go-to favourite of most gals I know but I am still up for it!

Project: Landmark College – Aiken Hall
Location: Putney, VT
Aiken Hall was one of the original residence halls when Landmark College first opened its doors in 1985. It was named after the former Vermont Governor and U.S. Senator, George Aiken, and for the past 24 years, many students have studied, slept and socialized under its roof. But to no surprise, time has taken its toll on the condition of the building. Though the core of the building remains strong, the college decided it was time to update the building with a fresh new design that meets the standards of today.
Landmark College brought in Bread Loaf Corporation of Middlebury, VT to take on this major renovation project. Bread Loaf in turn confidently selected EnviroVantage to take on the challenge of bringing down the roof and chimneys. The project had a tight timeline requring the roof removal to be started and finished during the week of the students Spring Break.
Ready to execute the project, EnviroVantage crews set up the proper fall arrest systems before beginning to remove all of the slate shingles, roofing paper, wood roof decking, screened louvers and framing at the ends of the building, copper fascia metals, metal flashing along with all fasteners, connectors and bolts. The EV team continued through the rainy weather by prepping and cutting the roof into sections. It took about 4 days utilizing a crane to safely remove the roof sheathing, framing and truss work. The roof sections were then dismantled, recycled and resold by Renew Salvage of Brattleboro, VT.
At the end of the week, EnviroVantage successfully removed 2 full length chimneys from the residence hall and thoroughly cleaned up all demolition debris from around the perimeter of the building. We salvaged as much as possible and effectively met our promise of completing our part of the project on time and on budget. By the time the students returned from Spring Break, Bread Loaf had the green light to begin the next phase, which was the addition of a 3rd floor. The remainder of the project will continue throughout the summer.
When the students return at the start of another school year, the building will offer 32 double room suites and 16 single room suites, all of which have semi-private bathrooms. The basement level will include a lounge area, catering kitchen, study room, fitness center and laundry facilities and there will be elevator access to all floors. The Aiken Hall project is scheduled for completion in August of 2009.

Patents are always fun to talk about and see. We recently stumbled across a newly published patent titled 'Customizable Keyboard'. To our surprise, the patent detailed the ability to set custom keyboard designs for specific variations and scenarios. The patent gives an abstract:
A customizable keyboard for a handheld electronic device is provided. The keys of the keyboard are rotatable, either individually or in groups, either under manual control of a user of the device or by means of one or more micro-motors or solenoids controlled by a microprocessor running software on the device. The keyboard may be integrated in the device or may be detachable therefrom."
Although the patent specifically details that of physical key rotation, we can't be naive to think RIM wouldn't push this same idea to virtual keyboards too. Imagine having the ability to set a specific keyboard for when you're playing a game, using only your left hand, or two thumbs as the first image details. How would you change your BlackBerry keyboard if you could customize it? Sound off in the comments!

Read a great article in the February 2010 edition of FAST COMPANY magazine about Volkswagen's "drive to succeed in America."Author Ellen McGirt asserts that if Volkswagen wants to be the world's number one auto maker, it must first win over America.
Tough stuff. America that is.
By the way, how many beans do you think are in that car? (The answer is at the end of this post…)
Anyway, the article caught my eye as I grew up in a Volkswagen household, so nicknamed "King Gee" for our old 1968 VW bus noise which made a "king-gee, king-gee" sound as the engine turned over (which was great to fall asleep to as kids laying on top of the engine, which was in the back of the vehicle in those days) and subsequently turned into an adult user with three VWs to my name before I jumped the Autobahn to Honda.
Why Honda, you ask?
Because it met my needs.
More from the FAST COMPANY article:
"Volkswagen, originally a beloved, albeit quirky, counterculture brand, has never seemed to fully grasp the American market. When Jacoby took over the U.S. operation in 2007, Volkswagen (including Audi) was clinging to a 2% share of the U.S. market, down from 7% during its Beetle heyday in the 1970s. (VW is now at nearly 2.9% — a significant increase, but slightly less than Hyundai's market-share jump from 2.9% to 4.3% during the same period.) The dealer network was in disrepair, fatigued by shipment delays, product complaints, and a confusing and occasionally short-lived parade of brands. The German reputation for design and engineering excellence sometimes came across to distributors as arrogance: You will accept the perfect cars we give you, not the rolling living rooms you ask for. Except the cars weren't always perfect, especially for Americans…"
Guess when I switched brands – you got it, 2007.
What I take from this article is that in order to get Americans to drink the VW bug juice (yes, pun intended!), Volkswagen automakers have to recognize and meet their needs. I don't know about you, but I spend a TON of time in my car and so my car needs to (a) have a place for my diet Coke, (b) have a trunk big enough to load four deck chairs, six backpacks, 20 towels, two 20-packs of Gatorade and enough protein bars to feed a swarm of hungry swimmers, (c) have a decent air conditioning system so my drive is cool and comfortable, and (d) be sturdy enough to not have to be in the shop every other month. Oh, and I forgot – be AFFORDABLE.
But I digress – those are my needs, not all Americans.
Back to the story. I'm reading this article and it got me thinking about recognition and meeting needs. And making the leap – doesn't recognition need to meet employee's needs for it to be effective? You bet.
Various motivational theories tell us that all people have different degrees of need for acceptance, approval, and appreciation. It's up to the supervisor to figure out what those degrees of need are and craft a individual recognition plan that will compliment recognition provided from an organizational perspective. For example, a 2007 survey conducted by Accountemps found that a simple thank you wins over most employees. They also found that 35% of workers and 30% chief financial officers cited frequent recognition of accomplishments as the most effective nonmonetary reward, followed by regular communication (20% for employees and 36% for CFOs).
Now, notice the difference in the statistics – CFOs appear to have less need for frequent recognition of accomplishments, but a higher need for regular communication. So, would a CFO care to be told everyday that the he/she is doing a great job? Maybe….or maybe not. It depends on the individual.
Here's three things to consider when giving recognition to individual employees:
- Recognition it must be respectful, timely and attached to a specific goal achievement or outcome. Not everyone likes goofiness and sometimes goofiness can overpower the intent of the recognition. Reminds me of when my sister-in-law hired a singing gorilla to sing to my brother at their wedding reception. Totally true story. Goal? Check. Timely? Check. Respectful? No check. The guy was thrilled mortified.
- Keep recognition as a mix between public and private. Some people just love, love, love jumping on a stage to receive their kudos. Others don't. The occasional recognition in the boss's office can pack just as much punch as an announcement in the company newsletter. Find out from the employee what they prefer. One of my favorites is a hand written thank you note. I still have one note from an employee of mine who told me I was the best supervisor she ever had. I treasure that thing.
- Ensure you have a balance between formal and informal recognition. Not only is it good practice, but it helps to meet a broad range of needs. Cost can be an issue for formal programs, but there are many inexpensive ways to recognize service anniversaries, employee of the month, etc. Check out the cool ideas, here, here, and here.
So, how did I get from Volkswagens to recognition? Oh yes, it's all about recognizing and meeting needs. Once I'm done hauling Gatorade and towels, I think my next car is going to be a VW Bug!
And how many beans did you say? There are 1,612,462 beans in the bus – gotta love their advertising!

The wild weather during Storm Frank and its aftermath destroyed part of Peterhead harbour as a sea wall was swept away.
The North Brae Quarter was broken at the north breakwater wall, resulting in it crumbling away and falling into the sea.
Peterhead Port Authority (PPA) has reviewed the damage and are awaiting on a survey by Dutch engineering company Fugro to complete a survey before any repairs are completed, something which could take 'a few months'.
PPA's chief executive, John Wallace told the Buchanie: "We have undertaken our initial investigation to show that the berth is clear and any debris is clear.
"The brae is back in operation at the moment."
The cost of any repairs will not be known until the aforementioned survey is complete.
The port authority became aware of the damage on Tuesday, January 12, but had wait for the strong winds to abate before beginning their assessment of the damage.
The harbour defences were heavily invested in to protect the Blue Toon from extreme waves following devastation in the area in December 2013.
Householders in the Roanheads area of Peterhead were forced to leave their homes after waves smashed through their windows and and fish factory Mapco was destroyed by the force of the waves. The defences mostly held against this year's wild weather, with the damage to the North Brae Quarter, pictured above, being the only casualty.
Peterhead was largely unaffected, but other parts of the north-east were not so lucky. A number of rivers burst their banks across Aberdeenshire resulting in devastating flooding.

As a professional coach and trainer, I've dedicated my career to helping people overcome barriers to health, fitness, and living an amazing life. My mission is to help people realize that a few targeted and powerful changes can completely transform their results and life.
If you want to look better, feel better, and live better, but have struggled to get the results you want, I invite you see your situation from a different perspective. Losing weight, and getting in shape are the top New Year's resolutions, but eating well and exercising aren't actually the most important parts of the success equation. At FRESH!, we've developed a framework for success called the 4 Pillars of Personal Performance. These are MINDSET, LIFESTYLE, FITNESS, and NUTRITION.
Mindset and Lifestyle are the most critical parts of the equation, yet they are the most neglected parts of the equation by people who repeatedly struggle to get the results they want. This is the exact reason people often see some results (weight and inches lost, fitness improvements, etc.), and then "fall off the wagon". They stop exercising, and it's common to gain all the weight back. For a large percentage of people in this situation, it's because they never cultivated the right mindset, and didn't implement the lifestyle habits necessary to be successful for the long term. We've developed an entire coaching philosophy around helping people overcome this barrier, and built it into our New Year, New You Transformation Program. Throughout the program, you will learn the mindset and lifestyle habits (as well as fitness and nutrition tips) to practically guarantee your results!
The most important part of any journey is the first step. You are taking this by joining the program. The next critical part is the plan to get you results. This program distills the key elements of our complete coaching program into a 6-week "boot camp" to jump start your new year and make sure you stay on the path to your goals all year long.
In addition to the hands-on coaching, and small group training, you will receive a complete program handbook, nutrition guide, exercise program, motivational tips, and accountability resources.
We also have a special program launch seminar, and a success workshop mid-way to help keep you on track. Can't make it to the studio in person? No worries. You can tune in remotely, or watch the video online once it's uploaded.
In order to reach your goals, you must first know where you are headed. This is a key reason so many people never accomplish their goals. Remember that your success isn't always about the scale. It's about setting a baseline measurement in each of the 4 pillars, evaluating progress each week, and making adjustments to stay on track. Our team will help make sure this happens.
Receive before and after body composition and girth measurements, plus a private functional movement analysis session with one of our expert coaches.
Throughout your 6 week program, you will learn the key information that will get you results faster, and avoid the most common mistakes people make in trying to get fit and lose weight.
You will also have a team of experts and a proven system for results behind you every step of the way!
Not all group programs are created equal. Exercise is counter productive if you aren't doing things correctly! While it's great to sweat, the coaching and technique cues are the most important part in making sure you get the results you want. You will receive personal training quality coaching in a small group environment to ensure you get the best results in the shortest time possible.
* NOTE: This option is only included in the Results Accelerator Version of the program. It's highly recommended for additional accountability and faster results.
For those who are motivated to get the work done on their own. We've provided the tools you need to start the new year on the right foot!
Tools for Success:
Secure Online Checkout
Everything in the Online Package, PLUS the live launch event, body composition, and a Movement Analysis Coaching session to be sure you maximize your results thorughout the program.
Tools for Success:

I know it's been quite a while since I've blogged, I have just been so crazy busy filming/editing/uploading YouTube videos. I am having so much fun right now, it's ridiculous!
So, what have I been uploading? Let's work in the reverse order, since I love my latest tutorial so much. I called it "Jungle Woman" when I was saving it, but that didn't feel descriptive enough–so I just went with Neutral Cut Crease with Teal Eyeshadow Tutorial. It IS a Neutral Cut Crease with Teal, but it is also quite a bit "Jungle Woman". LOL It is not for wimps! This look will definitely get you noticed, trust me. I wore it to Taco Bell here in Sebring, with hilarious results. Just in case you have never been to Sebring *and I don't blame you a bit!*, for about six months out of the year we double in population–due to all the "snowbirds" (a loving phrase used to describe old people that flock down to Florida for the winter months) coming down. So, of course, the roads get clogged and lines are long at places like Taco Bell 😉 I got a LOT of strange looks, which I love–but if you don't like that sort of attention, I highly suggest you skip this look! Well, you know, after you watch the video and admire my creativity haha
If you are not into being a Jungle Woman, might I suggest this requested Burgundy Look? One of my subscribers, a sweetheart named Joanna, asked me to do a burgundy eyeshadow tutorial. When I asked, she said that she enjoys more wearable looks, so I decided to do a full face makeup tutorial featuring burgundy and gold fall colors. I actually stunned myself with this one! Look at me, I am gorgeous! Thank you, Joanna–your suggestion made me look fantastic hahaha I have never used burgundy before, believe it or not, and so this was a ton of fun to experiment with!
I'm also sporting this look in my October Favorites video, which is actually a combination video of (of course) my October Loves and a Swap Haul that came from my new friend, Rebecca. Man, this girl has FANTASTIC TASTE! I really suggest you check out her Blog because if it is anything like the stuff she sent over to me, I am bookmarking it 😉 Can I just say how lucky you ladies are over in the UK??? You guys have Sleek and Max Factor. In fact, I don't know how I am going to go back to American mascaras now that I have Max Factor 2000 Calorie! It is amazing! I need to do what I did with that L'oreal False Fiber and show some Before/After photos of this stuff, it is unreal!
So, what is coming?
So many, many things! I have been filming and editing like crazy, and all that's left for me to do is upload now. I have a few Tags that I've done, and I am sure they will be up any day now. If you enjoyed my latest (Jungle Woman haha) tutorial and want to see a full list of products, I will be happy to do that for you–just let me know.
Until Then, Keep Smiling!

There's been a crazy amount of things going on (some just in my head) this past week. Last Monday, I blogged about a new sense of purpose. Throughout the week, I was blessed with support of those changes, and I took that as encouragement that the changes were right for me.
I'd had time off the day-job, and I realised that the biggest thing this afforded me was time to THINK. Instead of just go, go, go, I now had the energy to reflect on which actions were taking me forward, which actions I needed to do and was avoiding, and which actions were merely procrastination.
It's also given me a chance to do a 'practice run' of being a full-time author. Currently, I work ~20hrs a week, and I still devote at least 40hrs a week to my writing business. Being able to do those 40hrs without the added day job has been bliss (not that I don't like my job!) and spurred me on towards my full-time author goal.
In another post, on growing pains, I said I'd post more about my writing / art / lifestyle goals later – I'll make sure I have that post ready for tomorrow.
So what did happen last week?
- Published a guest post (including a vlog) about planning a story on Christine Campbell's website.
- Enjoyed sharing my books at the Orewa Markets and Kaukapakapa Markets (see more here)
- Won a brooch from artist Deborah Moss!
- Secured another couple of guest post spots.
- Started brainstorming ideas for short stories, and have bought Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors to read.
- Began editing Beyond the End of the World.
- Caught up on bookkeeping.
- Kept up my x3 per week exercise.
(P.S. Told you I didn't know where to start!)
And what's on the cards for this week?
- Continuing edits for Beyond the End of the World.
- Brainstorming ideas for my short story anthology.
- Setting up a merchant account and PO Box (for businessy stuff).
- Meeting up with the amazing Joy Findlay, who first introduced me to the idea of self-publishing.
- Writing at least 3 guest posts.
- Getting back into 'work mode'.
- Requesting visits at schools and libraries (I'm aiming to send one-ish request out per week).
- Keeping an eye on relevant events I may attend.
- Organising some sort of banner / poster for putting behind & above my table at events.

Review Rainbow Islands: Towering Adventure!
Is there a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow?
So there you are, transformed from a bubble-blowing dinosaur into human form again, ready to start your life afresh – maybe get a flat, a new car and settle into a good routine. But then, before you can say "9 to 5", you gain the ability to fire rainbows and have to use this skill to climb a huge multi-coloured tower. That's basically..
About The Game
Rainbow Islands: Towering Adventure! is a new installment in the classic Rainbow Islands franchise.
As part of the Bubble Bobble series, the game features slightly similar gameplay. You play as Bubby or Bobby (Or both, with a friend) and have to make your way to the top of multiple long, vertical stages with the aid of rainbows, which you can create.

- A rumor of a potential bailout for Greece a few months ago
- Confirmation a bailout was being discussed
- A framework of the bailout version #1
- A framework of the bailout version #2
And late Friday and most likely Monday, a more precise bailout…. it is almost sad to see the Greek problem
go away being kicked down the road. Each time we talk of more moral hazard the markets rally; at this point it seemed best to leave Greece hanging so we could get a new rally on a new bailout news item every 2-3 weeks…
That said,
"smart money" investment banks who have close ties to global governments already knew this late Friday. (I cited it on the blog as well) It is hard to find a good intraday chart of the Athens Exchange, but I cut and paste what was available from the exchange website below… as you can see, the "smart people" got whiff of the news as a market that was doing nothing all day, suddenly spiked 3% in the closing hour.
Once again fellow peons, the stock

If on a given date you sell two policies to the same client, or perhaps similar policies to a husband and wife, then rather than repeating all the compliance details you can get the system to copy them for you. To do this, starting from the scrolling view of policies….
You'll then get a confirmation dialogue, like that shown below. Simply click "OK" and the compliance dates and details will be copied to the target policy.
The routine described above only copies compliance between policies belonging to the same policyholder. However, as there is another "Signpost" option to change the policyholder (see "Policies, Scrolling View, Change Policyholder"), you can use this second facility to temporarily change the policyholder's name while you pass the compliance, after which you can use it again to reinstate the correct name.

"It's a proud moment for us," commented Mr. Frank T. Liu, Jr., Southern Motors of Davao, Inc. President and General Manager. "2011 has been a challenging year for the industry and the auto sales network as a whole, but through the talent and hard work of our team here at Isuzu Davao, we were able to meet our targets and goals last year."
The Isuzu Dealer of the Year award is given to the full-service Isuzu dealership that fulfills very strict criteria on top of achieving actual sales quotas in terms of both vehicles and service. In 2011, despite the challenges posed by disastrous natural phenomena overseas, Southern Motors of Davao, Inc. achieved Best in Sales as well as Best in Service Performance, and was duly recognized by Isuzu Philippines Corporation.
Mr. Frank T. Liu, Jr. assumed the top spot at SMDI just three years ago, and already the company has risen to the many challenges that have faced region and the industry as a whole. The Dealer of the Year award only strengthens the company's commitment to excellence in serving their customers in the south.
"It's been a trying year for us here at Southern Motors, but we weathered the storms in more ways than one," continued Mr. Frank T. Liu, Jr., SMDI President.
"We are very proud of what our dealership has achieved," said Mr. Kim Liu, SMDI's Assistant Vice President for Sales and Marketing, "moreover, we are even more proud of our loyal workforce here at SMDI for their determination to overcome the challenges of last year."
SMDI has been in the auto industry for over 60 years. Originally established as Southern Motors, Inc. in 1949 under the Yutivo and Sons Group of Companies, SMDI, then SMI, sold vehicles made by General Motors such as Chevrolet, Pontiac, Opel, Holden, Vauxhall and Isuzu.

No, Dear friends, it's not about drugs
Pure, exhilirating, scintillating emotion.
Never went away, was just forced out
Like a campfire not quite finished
With it's purpose, not quite through
Spending it's kinetic energy
Yet they pour dust on it
Stifle it
It's served their purpose after all
Chasing that fire night and day, day and night
Trying to find that beautiful inferno that was
Tiny conflagrations here and there
Don't serve their purpose quite like they used to
Keep searching for that feu de joie
The pure
The absolute
But you can never re-ignite the blaze
And bask in the incandescence...
Quite like the first time.

Super Mario 3D Land to get DLC?
Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has hinted that Super Mario 3D Land, and perhaps other 3DS games, could be getting downloadable content in the future - a first for the company.
Free 3DS games named as Nintendo shares tumble 21%
Nintendo UK has revealed more details about its free games for those that already own a 3DS, as the news of the forthcoming price cut has caused share prices, and allegedly Satoru Iwata's salary, to be slashed.
Wii U was going to be iPad-style tablet, reveals Nintendo
The new Wii U home console was originally going to be a standalone tablet similar to the iPad, according to Nintendo top dog Satoru Iwata - as Ubisoft adds to the confusion on how powerful the device is.
Nintendo hints at Wii 2 plans
Satoru Iwata, the normally tight-lipped boss of Nintendo, has been talking about plans for a new home console after the Wii, hinting that an announcement may not be far off.

The slow progress made by the Tata Power Company (TPC) in shifting residential consumers who use under 300 units a month to its side from Reliance Infrastructure (RInfra) has come in for sharp criticism from the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC). TPC has been sent a notice by MERC asking it to appear before it on Thursday with an explanation.
MERC had directed TPC to get as many low-end consumers from RInfra as possible in a year's time-August 2012 to August 2013-to achieve a balance between the consumer mix in both companies. The changeover was needed to correct the skewed consumer blend of RInfra, which has many more low-end users getting subsidized power than high-end users paying at a higher rate.
Shifting low-end residential consumers to TPC would reduce the subsidy burden. In the current tariff scenario, low-end residential consumers can save up to 50 per cent on their bills if they shift to TPC from RInfra.
Over 70 per cent of RInfra consumers are low-end residential users, leaving only about 30% high-consumption customers. TPC has a major chunk of its power customers falling in the high-consumption category of over 300 units a month-both residential and commercial-and relatively few low-end residential consumers.
MERC also pulled up TPC for "negligible" network addition in many city clusters, which would have helped gain low-end users.
MERC also observed that TPC had done negligible laying of network in many clusters in the city.
MERC had also directed TPC to lay its network in 11 different clusters in the city over the past year in order to provide connections to as many low-end residential consumers as possible.
"There has been negligible network addition in Trombay, Virndavan, Mankhurd, Chembur, Arogya Nidhi, Malad BMC Lagoon and Vasantotsav clusters," MERC said in a notice asking TPC to appear before it on Thursday to explain the reasons.
TPC refused to comment on the matter.

Cen-Tex Tint offers commercial film as well as safety and security film to any business in the Central Texas area.
Many Commercial buildings use glass predominantly on store fronts for reasons such as architectural design, to display product, or to let natural lighting in. However sometimes this glass attracts to much sunlight and becomes overwhelming. By overwhelming we mean solar heat gains that cannot be compensated by the HVAC system, causing out of sight electric bills. The sun can also damage expensive office furniture and flooring as well as casting an annoying glare on computer and television screens in the office. We can help you work more comfortable and save money at the same time. After all for any business the bottom line is what matters.

I'm putting a prediction down in writing. The conversations that got me thinking started sometime in the last couple months, about the time that non-geeks started succumbing to the frenzy surrounding the new iPhone. Because I've been such a fan of Apple products and have been a consistent early adopter of new devices, my circle of friends often ask me what is coming next.
I've had a theory that has been developing slowly but has been reinforced quite a bit with the stuff that Apple and other companies have rolled out over the last few months.
Here it is:
I think that the computer workstation will be completely redefined and reinvented within the next 2-3 years. I see an inevitable move away from the devices we call "computers" as the center of digital life. The smart phones in our pockets are beginning to rival the power, storage capacity and speed of our desktop devices. While this idea isn't new, and was even alluded to in Apple's event back in June, I don't think that the idea of a bunch of interconnected devices is the real natural evolution of things. I'm not sure that we need both. Aren't the CPUs in each of these separate devices doing pretty much the same thing? It is the interface design that is unique. Remember when folks used to carry around a PDA, Cell Phone and an iPod? One for Calendar and address book, one for making calls and another for music. When I first heard about the iPhone it seemed like such an obvious idea. This feels really similar.
Imagine having a device in your pocket with a Quad core processor, 2-3 gigs of RAM and an always-on 4G data connection that rivals the speed of wired broadband. When you want to do more traditional tasks like writing essays, entering data or editing photos, you plug into a dock and have a full desktop solution with a high-resolution display, keyboard, mouse/trackpad and peripherals. All of your data, preferences and interface work can be cloud based, and available from anywhere with the option of physical backup for more sensitive stuff. When you are done, you just undock, put it in your pocket and go. One interface optimized for more traditional desktop tasks, another for mobile use, all in one device that is always with you.
I do think that the desktop devices we use now will have a place as workstations in business offices and with folks that will need even more power and memory than can be contained in a phone or small tablet sized form factor. Obviously, a dedicated tower will be a better fit for things like video editing, audio recording and publishing.
At the real core of this is the feeling that the real power of these devices isn't in the cases that contain them, but in the way that it can become a part of the user. The smartphone is such a personal device in a way that computers often aren't. Why go to the trouble to sync multiple devices if you can just take a really powerful core with you that replaces all of these separate tools? In other words, you use the interface that you need at the moment without having to think about whether the one that is optimized for this particular task contains all of your data.
One Device.

Kermit Channel takes a great leap
of Hallmark Entertainment
As part of its third quarter 1999 expanded marketing plan, the Kermit Channel, which continues to enchant audiences of all ages throughout Asia Pacific, will have a new look and an enhanced line-up. Kermit Channel, a joint venture of The Jim Henson Company and Hallmark Entertainment, will implement the changes. The announcement was made by Kim Blankenburg, Director of Marketing for Kermit Channel and Hallmark Entertainment Network.
This is an exciting time for us. Kermit Channel has a new look, new programs and expanded programming blocks that we have developed to further support our overall philosophy, said Blankenburg. The idea was to brand the channel so that it attracts both kids and their parents and positions the channel as a sophisticated, innovative and entertaining network with a special emphasis on educational programming.
Graphically, Kermit Channel will sport a whole new look. Utilizing a new on-air graphics package created by the international, award-winning creative marketing firm 3 Ring Circus, the channel will increase its appeal to every member of the family through the development of the theme expect the unexpected. Using the unexpected platform as a rich category of twists and turns, quirks and impulses, the Hollywood-based 3 Ring Circus, through collaboration with Kermit Channels marketing team, has created new promos, ids and elements to inform, engage and entertain the channels diversified audience.
Weve expanded our Childrens Education Block to 5 hours a day and, based on market feedback, weve moved the afternoon Education Block to 4:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. (Hong Kong). This offers a stronger lead-in to primetime, while providing a more convenient opportunity for parents and their children to share and experience Kermit Channel together, added Jeffrey J. Johnson, Vice President/Managing Director, Hallmark Entertainment Networks, Asia Pacific.
Other strategic moves include the addition of Jim Hensons Animal Show, as well as shifting Pappyland and The Ghost of Faffner Hall into the Education Block to complement school curricula with opportunities to learn about art and music. Additionally, the Kermit Channel Kids Entertainment Block will now include a one-hour afternoon animation block and a new offering of a variety of programs for the entire family. Muppets Tonight and Aliens in the Family kick off Saturday nights and Jim Hensons Storyteller and Kermits Sunday Showcase (featuring Hallmark and Henson one-hour specials) highlight Sunday nights.
Kermit Channel is dedicated to the entertainment and education of the entire family. As a joint venture between The Jim Henson Company and Hallmark Entertainment, two of the most respected producers of childrens and family programming, Kermit Channel presents a fresh, imaginative and engaging mix of award-winning programs. Taking advantage of the extensive Henson and Hallmark libraries, Kermit provides hours of laughter, learning and lively entertainment that parents and children can enjoy together. Additionally, original programming currently in production at The Jim Henson Company and Hallmark Entertainment will find its home on Kermit Channel.
A diversified entertainment company, Hallmark Entertainments subsidiaries include Hallmark Entertainment Network, and Hallmark Home Entertainment, a leading distributor of home video family entertainment. Hallmark Entertainment and The Jim Henson Company also share an interest in the Odyssey Channel. Hallmark Entertainment is a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, Inc.

Still a very bad blogger. Will try to get in to the swing of it soon. This morning was a disgusting grey drizzly morning. I walked along the seafront with Sarah, chatting, my umbrella blowing inside out intermittently - joy! Thank goodness for the distraction of friends from the approaching autumn. I am definitely a summer person. I love summer flowers and the warmth of sunshine on my bones. I flipped through the holiday photographs and remembered how lovely and bright the walls of the house in France made everything look.
Nothing like an interesting shadow (the seat of the chair) to prove the sunshine is good and strong.
I remember taking this photo just loving the sunlight making its unique pattern in the swimming pool water.
I love turquoise.
I love this photograph. The splash is from one adult and four children jumping in the pool. The joy they all whooped just prior to splashing in to the pool still puts a smile on my face.
This is the view from my sunbed that I lazed on far too much (or now I think probably not enough!) I just loved the fresh green and bright red against the fantastic blue sky.
I am glad to say that the sun has come out whilst writing this post - a watered down version but at least it is still here. The sea is silvery and glittery rather than turquoise. Oh well suppose we have to welcome the changing of the seasons but this year I am definitely wishing the summer to stay. I have enjoyed the sunshine and the heat but need just a little bit more - please?

It is Wednesday again, so it's BUTTON DAY on my blog !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week I found out about the work of German artist Georg Herold (born in 1947 in Jena). He creates very personal and meditative work, often ironic and critical, and uses mostly unusual materials like roof beams, bricks, buttons etc. The above button painting is a watercolor with buttons, thread, and shellac on primed canvas.
The next three paintings are oil paintings with buttons and thread on canvas.
And this last one is a collage of buttons and string on linen:
Although I like these paintings, I would love to know: Why buttons ?? Does Georg Herold want to send a message ? Like in much of his work ?
The pictures are from artvalue.com and Frieze Art Fair; and if you want to see more of his work, here's a video from a Georg Herold Retrospektive in Kärnten.
Have you seen a lovely, beautiful, stunning, crazy button or button-related thingy, or did you make something with a button / buttons, or did you even make buttons yourself, blog about it on your blog on Wednesday, and give the link here in the comments so that everybody can enjoy it !!

The Samsung-made Nexus 10 is certainly a feast for the eyes, especially with that beautiful 2560×1600 display. There's just one problem: there aren't many Android developers who fine tune their apps for use on tablets. Instead of making a version of their app for Android tablets, a number of developers will just blow up their smartphone apps, which doesn't exactly make for the prettiest of experiences. Google is looking to change that, urging developers to focus on the tablet experience when it comes to their apps.
"We'd like developers to think more and more about great tablet experiences. There's a lot of really good Android tablets out there now," Google mobile product manager Robert Hamilton said in an interview with The Guardian. "The Nexus 10 is a world-class device that we think will be really successful, so we want more people to take advantage of the tools that Android provides for developers to think about what their tablet experience is." Hamilton said that some developers are already putting in the effort to make their apps look and run great on tablets, which is definitely an encouraging thing to hear.
According to him, the launch of the Nexus 7 was what made some developers really sit down and think about how they can improve user experience on tablets. Given the Nexus 7's immense popularity, we have no problem believing his claims. If the Nexus 10 turns out to be as bit as Google hopes, then it stands to reason that even more developers will begin to think about they make their apps better on tablets.
Of course, at the end of the day it's all about making money, and at the moment, there are many more Android smartphone owners than there are Android tablet owners. With the Nexus 7, we saw Android tablet mania hit in a big way, so if Google can repeat that success with the Nexus 10, it should do a lot convince developers that a significant number of consumers are using Android tablets. We shall see if the Nexus 10 can top the Nexus 7 in terms of popularity soon enough, as the tablet is scheduled to launch on November 13 – are you picking one up?

Radar Networks is accelerating down the path towards the world's largest body of knowledge about what people care about using Twine to organize their bookmarks. Unlike social bookmarking sites, Twine uses natural language processing technology to read and categorize people's bookmarks in a substantial ontology. Using this ontology, Twine not only organizes their bookmarks intelligently but also facilitates social networking and collaborative filtering that result in more relevant suggestions of others' bookmarks than other social bookmarking sites can provide.
Twine should rapidly eclipse social bookmarking sites, like Digg and Redditt. This is no small feat!
The underlying capabilities of Twine present Radar Networks with many other opportunities, too. Twine could spider out from bookmarks and become a general competitor to Google, as Powerset hopes to become. Twine could become the semantic web's Wikipedia, to which Metaweb's Freebase aspires.

The sights and sounds of the Iowa caucus campaign have triggered a nightmarish flashback for one Power Line reader (the Star Tribune's Dan Freeborn) whose message definitively dates him as having been born within a few days of me:
Last night I tuned in Hugh Hewitt's show and he was playing this bizarre tape of Martin Sheen giving what sounded like a mescaline fueled soliloquy down in Iowa yesterday. Afterwards Hugh said that Sheen, Rob Reiner and Howard Dean all were on a campaign bus, apparently traveling the countryside inflicting their weird, thundering blather on the locals. This is something out of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. The bus called Furthur. The sign on the back that said "Caution: Weird Load Onboard."
It's all clear to me now. These guys are 1960s re-enactors but they have the ethos all wrong. Instead of the summer of love, they're promising the summer of crankiness. Call them The Unmerry Crankstersl. With his shallowness and frequent fits of girlish pique, Howard Dean is their Un-Kesey. One pill makes you angry and one pill makes you small and the things that Howard tells you make no sense at all. Then, on the news last night, I saw John Kerry, just back from Vietnam, putting his thumb and forefinger to his lips and he sucked in his cheeks — obviously an "If-elected-I-won't-Bogart" promise. If not Clean for Gene, then [expletive deleted]-A with J.K., I guess.
Dennis Kucinich is already on the peace train. And we all know train hundred and two is on the wrong track and headed for you. And somewhere along the line you can expect to hear the rumble of Harleys as the geriatric Hells Angles roll in to provide "security" while demanding free Lipitor and low-carb, Atkins friendly beer. The re-enactors may be coming to your town, so you better get ready. The long, strange trip is starting all over again, I'm afraid.

This is how this month will go in the winter stars. . .
We start this year right away with Mercury Retrograde from January 5th to 26th.Mercury rules the mind so it is a good month to now take a breather from the holidays and reflect on the whole year and years that are now behind us. Spend the month reviewing; what worked out, what didn't? This is a good opportunity to really take your time on your resolutions. Just because it's the 'new year' doesn't mean you HAVE to start January 1st. The stars are telling us we should wait! The Chinese New Year begins February 8th this year, so take this month and really plan out what you want to tackle this year and make it realistic! Slow and steady wins the race people!
Jupiter is in retrograde starting January 7th. When Jupiter takes it's back spin this is not the time for growth and expansion. A lot more time and energy is spent on your projects. Usually whatever you are clinging to in life will be released. As much as it's hard to let go, this is always for the best.
We have a New Moon in Capricorn on January 9th. This is a good time to start getting those little mundane tasks done. Make small goals and start the tasks that you have been putting off. Paying old bills, cleaning out the kitchen cabinets or organizing your files (Hello taxes!). These are the goals you should set for yourself this month. As much as we despise these chores this is the perfect mind set to get yourself ready and set for a new year! Its the small things in life that make up our actions to our big plans. So before you dream big about writing a book, or a foreign vacation abroad this year. Get to work on the small things in life!
Full Moon in Leo January 23rd. With Leo guiding this moon, we have a little fire under our butts to now set our year goals. We now have the passion inside to get us there, but mercury is still covering this moon. Your mind is a little at a loss of what goals to set and in what order. Have no fear, let this moon show you your weakness and where you'll need to let go, so next month we can really get a strong hold of 2016 and not let go!
2016 in numerology adds up to nine. Nine is completion, this is a year of ending!
