Well, while I don't have my spreadsheet around I can't exactly comment on much that is money related, so I thought i'd do my version of 25 Things! Everyone else seems to be doing it, and since no one has tagged me, I'm going to do it myself. So here goes, 25 things you didn't know about me:
1. I have an obsession with organizational stores - I once spent 3 hours in "The Container Store" in Seattle agonizing over what I should/should not buy.
2. I really hope Windows 7 is good, because otherwise I'm going to buy a Mac when I go home.
3. I no longer have any of my wisdom teeth.
4. I only sleep best when I am surrounded by at least 4 pillows - two under my head, and one on each side.
5. I can't stand it when my fingernails are short - I can't pick anything up!
6. I HAVE to multitask.... all the time. I can't just watch a movie, I have to be doing something else at the same time, even if it's doodling.
7. I wonder what YOU think I look like. (And I wish I knew what YOU looked like!)
8. I can type really, really fast. I believe that came from playing a lot of text-based games in my youth.
9. I also can't wait for the release of Diablo 3.
10. I love airports. There is an excitement in the air - people rushing, people meeting other people, jetting off to exciting places.
11. I can't take care of a plant to save my life. I just kill them.
12. I will visit outer space one day, even if it costs me my life savings.
13. I still worry that people think I'm a tourist when I'm in London.
14. As a child, I fell down in our living room and put my top front teeth through my tongue. You can still see the scars.
15. I have my conch peirced. And yes, it hurt like a bitch.
16. I have never broken a bone.
17. I would love to learn to speak many languages, including German, Spanish, Punjabi and Afrikaans, but I lack the devotion to seriously master any.
18. I do everything left-handed, except write.
19. I like the way I write.
20. When I was a child my sister, dad and I used to spend every Saturday having a movie-fest. We'd watch horrible old movies like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and the Godzillas all day. I now have a love of crappy-old horror movies.
21. I hate modern horror movies, though. Can't stand the anxiety.
22. I want a tattoo. I have a design in mind but can't think of a good place to put it.
23. I made cookies from scratch for the first time 3 days ago, and they were good!
24. One of my biggest fears is losing everything. I don't think I am one of those people who could sell everything I own and bugger off. I enjoy 'things' too much.
25. I'm really good at putting IKEA furniture together.
Well, that was an odd combination of things. I hope you enjoy this little peek into my life. I enjoy reading all your 25 Things.

The following profile was compiled from an interview with John Terzich, Director of Sales at Lanworth. Read on to learn how they are using technology to generate revenue.
Get some valuable advice and the recipe to this business' Secret Sauce!
The Business
Lanworth's Real-time Acres and Yield product uses daily satellite imagery to develop timely, accurate
estimates of agricultural production in key international markets. Satellite imagery, analyzed in the context of local soil, weather, management, and plant genetic conditions, provides spatially detailed crop area and yield estimates at national scales.
The Tools
Lanworth uses satellite data from both public and private satellites to deliver daily crop information globally. This solution acts as a revenue generation tool for our clients as well as a risk mitigation tool. Our model delivers revenue in two ways- Subscription revenue to our portal and bi weekly reports, along with proprietary projects.
The Users
The users of our technology are Hedge Funds, Commercial Food Companies, Commodity Trading Firms and Agricultural Producers. Our clients use our information to trade and hedge commodities as well as perform long range supply chain analysis.
The Challenge
Digesting the vast amounts of data daily required re-architecting of our infrastructure and implementing open source Linux servers, which are reducing our costs on computing. Lanworth's data storage and processing is growing at approx a terabyte a month, Bringing in that much data from satellites and then analyzing on a daily basis requires highly scalable and powerful systems.
The Future
We are seeing exponential growth within our premier subscriptions and special projects, we are looking to create a seamless data portal for crops on a global scale with real time crop information updated daily. We currently offer the portal for US markets. Years ago this program would not be feasible due to the cost of data acquisition and storage, as costs continue to come down per gigabyte we see enhanced information with more frequent updates and increased resolution as key product improvements.
The Advice
Invest in proper architecture with long term goals in mind…build the right foundation and growth is much easier.

The OPPO HA-2 DAC and Headphone Amplifier Review Highlights
OPPO has just released the HA-2 DAC and Headphone amplifier. It is sized to use with your smart phone's digital output using a USB-micro-to-USB-micro cable. With a Sabre Mobile DAC and balanced operation, the HA-2 will decode up to 32/384 PCM and DSD256 music stored on your phone. You will need either an Android downloadable app (USB Audio Player Pro), or the same app from the iTunes store. The HA-2 plays high resolution music with proper transients that might otherwise be lost on the inexpensive DACs that are native to the smart phones.
The HA-1 has two digital inputs, one for iPhones (standard USB jack) and other smart phones (USB micro jack). A pair of strong rubber bands (included) holds the phone and the HA-2 together. The unit is about the same size as the smaller version of the iPhone 6.
The sound, using the HA-2, has more detail than the audio output of the phone, so it is a valuable addition to your phone , not only in looks (COOL FACTOR = 9.7 out of 10), but in delivering the transients that high resolution music has.
At $299, the HA-2 is a no-brainer, for updating your smart phone to play high res music.
The OPPO HA-2 DAC and Headphone Amplifier Review Highlights Summary
- OPPO Quality
- Improved detail compared to a smart phone's native DAC
- Plays up to 32/384 PCM and DSD256
- Inexpensive
- Very cool, and will get your friends' attention immediately
Introduction to The OPPO HA-2 DAC and Headphone Amplifier Review
The brand name OPPO needs no introduction. Whenever they release a new product, audiophiles take notice.
The HA-2 is a DAC and Heaphone Amplifier, all contained in a chassis about the same size as the smaller iPhone 6. That is no coincidence. It is made to be used with the iPhone 6 and other smart phones of that size.
It has jacks on one end, as shown above, with a small sliding button on the left. The standard USB jack is for iPhones, and the USB micro jack on the far right is for Android and other smart phones.
One the other end are the volume control (far left), a jack for headphones, and a jack for line-out (about 1 volt RMS – the volume control does not affect this).
- Design: DAC and Amplifier

- SECRETS Tags: OPPO, HA-2, DACs, Headphone Amplifiers, High Resolution
The Design of the OPPO DAC and Headphone Amplifier
The HA-2, although only $299, contains the ESS Sabre32 Reference ES9018-K2M DAC chipset. This is the mobile version of the chip.
There are two digital inputs, one for iPhones/iPads, and the other for Android products. There is also a 1/8″ stereo analog input on the other end of the HA-2. This is for players that don't have a USB digital output, so just the amplifier portion of the HA-2 is used. The two digital inputs and analog input are selected by a slider switch, that is labeled A, B, and C.
The edge has bass boost and high/low gain slider switches, as well as a button that, when pressed, lights up a series of LEDs that indicate the amount of battery power remaining.
Two large rubber bands come with the unit, so that you can wrap your iPhone and the HA-2 together. However, they do get in the way of using your phone, so you may want to use four regular rubber bands – two horizontally and two vertically – so that you can push them aside to touch the buttons on your phone. Here is a photo of the Samsung Note 2 on top of the HA-2.
The OPPO DAC and Headphone Amplifier In Use
I used a Samsung Note 2, which is larger than the HA-2. I bound them together with four rubber bands as described on the previous page. I loaded the phone with some high resolution (24/192) music, as well as test signals. I also used the line-out for connection to a Pass Labs Xs preamplifier, Pass Labs Xs 300 monoblocks, and Carver Mark IV ribbon speakers.
The sound was better than the sound coming directly from the phone's analog output, but the main advantage is that the HA-2 has a much better battery, which will drive a planar magnetic headphone, such as the OPPO PM-1. This, to me, far outweighs the slight, but noticeable improvement in detail and sparkle, which I doubt would be discernible when using inexpensive earbuds (the earbuds that come with your smart phone).
The USB-micro-to-USB-micro cable is a bit short, and tends to come loose because it has to be twisted to go into the jack of the phone and the jack of the HA-2. However, a longer cord would get caught on something, so the short cord is really the only way to deal with the connection.
I was surprised at how good the OPPO sounded when used as a source to feed the Pass Labs setup. It's amazing that such small sources can reproduce sound so well, compared to just a few years ago.
The OPPO DAC and Headphone Amplifier On the Bench
I ran the two most important tests, 1 kHz THD+N and IMD, instead of the full battery of tests. I used 16/44.1 and 24/192 PCM. I did not use any DSD test signals. I took the signal from the headphone output, and loaded it with two 39 ohm resistors. I used the high gain setting but no bass boost. The volume control was set to its maximum.
At 1 kHz, and 16/44.1, output was nearly 1 volt, and distortion was 0.016%.
IMD was 0.008%. Impressive. This is why there was improved detail.
Going to 24/192, distortion was the same as 16/44.1 with the 1 kHz test tone.
IMD was a bit lower using 24/192. Ther are some noticeable peaks at 41 kHz and 49 kHz. However, they are far out of the audible band.
Conclusions about the OPPO HA-2 DAC and Headphone Amplifier
OPPO continues to introduct products that have very high quality parts and performance, but are very affordable. The HA-2 is a very useful addition to your smart phone, and is an inexpensive, tempting accessory. I recommend that you yield to your temptation.

What is used several times throughout the house by millions of people every day? What is the one thing that no one can almost live without? To answer these questions, I would say that most people would definitely agree with me, which would be the plumbing system. Plumbing systems have progressed and advanced very rapidly, since the early ages. In the early ages, the drainage system was made from stones and flowed into the main sewers. Than bath houses were built as a gift to the people, as a result before meal bathing was a routine for people. Bathing was introduced by the Romans in the second century B.C., and it became part of the daily life in the majority of the people. Bathing was a significant event for all sexes and classes. People went to the bath houses where people met to discuss important events, meetings, most of all it was very affordable.
The wealthy people were attended by their slaves because they carried their belongings and guarded their items while they finished bathing and the poor people carried their own items. Bath house also served as a relaxation spot, now people reserve restaurants for meetings, halls for events and spas for relaxation. The difference between the plumbing then and plumbing now, is how it excelled in great levels in years. Nowadays, people use the internet to solve their plumbing problems, according to Larry Armstrong. He describes how he solves his problems by using the website, ÃÂThe best strategy is simply to surf to a search engine such as Google or Ask.com and describe your problemÃÂ (Business Week Lifestyle Magazine, 2007).
Indoor plumbing gives people hot and/or cold water to do the daily activities, which are clean purified drinking water, clean water to cook food, wash dishes, bath,

From the author of Speak Up, Show Up, and Stand Out & Fearless Leadership
Do you want to tear your hair out when people refuse to answer your question? You may be dealing with a dodger—someone who beats around the bush or throws up a smokescreen to avoid dealing with your question or concern.
Here is a two-prong approach for handling dodgers:
- Spot dodging tip-offs. These phrases signal the conversation is about to be taken off course. If you can't spot them, you can't stop them.
Common Dodging Tip-Off Phrases:
- "I have a different concern."
- "This reminds me of…."
- "My concern is…."
- "This raises another question."
- "The real problem is…."
- "Your problem is…."
- Intervene immediately. Don't let the dodger steer the conversation in another direction. Respectfully interrupt the conversation the moment you spot the dodge and redirect it back to your question or concern. See examples below.
Don't take the bait. Be smooth (and keep your emotions out of your response) and the dodger will have nowhere to go.
Dr. Loretta Malandro is the CEO of the Malandro Consulting Group (www.malandro.com) and the author of several landmark business communication books including: Fearless Leadership, Say It Right the First Time, and her new book, "Speak Up, Show Up, and Stand Out: The 9 Communication Rules You Need to Succeed".

What can I say about coercive interrogation techniques that hasn't already been said a million times. I could tell you that I'm not sure about military detainee torture and it's value in war-time. I'm sure there are studies out there, and some will say that it's necessary to save lives, others will say that the techniques aren't necessary and don't work anyway.
But no one seems to really want to know whether they work or not. One side will say it's OK because they don't play by the rules anyway and the other says that as decent human beings we shouldn't stoop to the level of the extremists we're in conflict with. I'm of the opinion that we need to know the facts and have a national discussion on this that doesn't include political partisan bickering.
However, the press never helps with this. Exactly what are various agencies doing in the battle with extremists? Well, you might get two different stories from these two sources.
Interrogation practices -- including the use of dogs, sleep deprivation and simulated drowning or water-boarding -- repeatedly created friction between FBI agents and military leaders.
Fine's audit doesn't assess the conduct of CIA or military interrogators and says FBI agents never witnessed the use of simulated drowning, or water-boarding.
So the Post seems to want you to believe that water-boarding is and has been going on, when actual official reports and statements by the administration admit that it hasn't been used in many years. The report from the FBI seems to confirm that, but if you read the Post
Also, I again note that both use the excuse of Abu Ghraib as the reason for the FBI's new rules that require agents to report when they witness abuse. Even though what happened there wasn't sanctioned, nor was it for the purpose of interrogation.
And what is the FBI doing in all these countries anyway? I thought the FBI was a domestic investigation force?
All and all, to get back to the point, physical coercion has been a part of military interrogation in times of war for as long as there's been war. The stuff they're talking about here – snarling dogs and sleep deprivation – is pretty tame compared to what was done to Americans in the Vietnam war, or what Islamic extremists do to those they don't like. So shouldn't this about having a national discussion, not about trying to nail the administration for something else? What's acceptable? Is anything?

All three of these cards have an owner's stamp from someone named Earl Correll.

Why Do You Need a Business Continuity Plan
aaishuu posted a topic in Introduce YourselfHave you ever wondered why so many small businesses fail within the first 5 years of operation while others succeed? Obviously, all these businesses started with one clear goal in mind – to make money. Some may say that they fail because of poor leadership which is true. Others may say the lack of capital which is also true. Interestingly, most people because they fail to prepare for the future. That's why you need to ask yourself why do you need a business continuity plan? Becoming an entrepreneur is all about taking risks. In order to ensure that your business is sustainable, you need to put in place systems that can prevent threats whether internal or external that may try to infringe on your day to day operations

More ARK Color events!
Feisty posted a topic in ARK: Survival EvolvedWell its become apparent that our cluster is a bunch of crazy hoarders. I'm ok with this... in fact, I would like to enable this more... We want to put the in game events on our server MORE! How this is going to work. We are going to put a new event on our servers every two weeks, and its going to last a week. We are going to try and have the players VOTE for which event they want on the servers for that given week. So Week one we are going to vote, the following tuesday I will put that event on the server (Active wednesday morning restart). It will stay on the server till the following tuesday when I turn it off (again will disappear wednesday morning restart), at that time i will also put up a vote for the next week, players will vote and we start all over again. Easter - Green, Magenta, Yellow, and Blue. Arkaeology - White, Yellow, Grey, and Black Extinction Cronicles - 1. Purple, Black, Grey, Dark Blue 2. Red, Black, White, Grey 3. Green Black 4. Black, Red, Green, Purple, White Really not sure how this event will react when added... which set of colors or if all are added... this was a week to week event but only one event code for adding to server so we will see? Winter Wonderland - Red White Green (It doesn't list the colors in the wiki but I'm pretty sure it was just red white and green). Valentines - Red, Pink, and White Unfortunately at this time Halloween is not possible. Last year is when wildcard started re-coding the events to be launch-able by server owners. Due to extinction release in 2018 they decided to skip the Halloween event and thus did not release a coded version for server owners to add. VOTE FOR THE EVENT YOU WANT TO SEE ON THE SERVER FOR MAY 14

With Halloween around the corner, I wanted to share this shocking information on sugar shared in an interview with Dr. Mark Hyman, M.D., founder and medical director of UltraWellness Center.
Yes, I'm sure you have most likely already bought bags and bags of candy to pass out to all the cute little trick or treaters this year. I will admit, it is so fun to see all the cute creative costumes that come by and see their faces light up with joy to pick their favorite pieces of candy out of your bowl. Unfortunately, it's not just their cute little faces that light up. Would you think differently if you knew their tiny little developing brains light up "like a Christmas tree" according to Dr. Mark Hyman, when they consume high amounts of sugar?
According to a recent study by Dr. David Ludwig, M.D., PhD, this area of the brain that lights up on functional MRI tests in response to high amounts of sugar, is the same part of the brain that lights up in response to cocaine and heroine. Say what????
This makes complete sense when you think about it in ancestral terms. Sweet foods at one time were rare occurrences – special treats that came around only seasonally. It appears our bodies may not have developed an "off switch" to tell us when to quit, creating a real addiction much like one to drugs.
It seems sweet and innocent to allow kids and ourselves alike to indulge in candy like we do on Halloween every year and every holiday for that matter, but is it really?
Dr. Hyman makes a great point in this interview quoting "If Kobe Bryant or Taylor Swift got up on TV and tried to sell our kids crack cocaine and heroine, what would we say?"
I think the answer is obvious.
You can watch the full interview here:
I don't share all of this to make you feel guilty and like a terrible parent if you are allowing your kids to participate in holiday festivities that include eating excess sugar. That's not my goal. I'm sure you are a wonderful parent and I want you to hear that first. You love your children dearly as any parent does and are doing the absolute best that you can. That's all you can do. I share this simply to make you more aware of what's really in our food and how it effects us. It's up to you to decide what to do with this information.
The fact that sugar creates an addictive response in our brains just scratches the surface as to how dangerous it is to our overall health and well being when eaten in excess and goes beyond what I have time to cover in this blog post. The scary part is sugar is not just in the obvious foods like candy, but in almost every product you find on the supermarket shelves these days from lunch meat to ketchup to bread to salad dressings, and often is in forms you may not even recognize. Artificial sweeteners are equally if not more dangerous for our health.
Here is a really helpful resource you can use to learn all the sneaky names that sugar is disguised as in your foods.
Start reading your labels. I think you will be surprised.
If you want some healthier Halloween treats this year for your kiddos here are a few that I found across the web that would be fun to make:
Clementine Pumpkins
Spiders on a Log
Pumpkin Fruit Kabobs
Deviled Avocado Eggs: Looks like an Eyeball!

The time is flying by so fast! There is not enough time in the day to do all the things I want to do. Nor the things I need to do!
The Despicable Me Minions are so popular. I took some time out yesterday, purchased a pattern and sat in the dentist's office crocheting hats! Hubby was in there 2 hours with the dentist who would not do a darn thing.....another trip to Phoenix to the oral surgeon I see.
But back to the Minion! This hat is so much fun to crochet! I managed to get two hats finished and started on crocheting the goggled eyes.
The two crochet Minion Hats I have completed are 1-3 year old size and a 4-12. The 4-12 year old fits me, although I do have a small head.
Today, I hope to do a newborn minion hat with just one huge eye and maybe an adult size, also with just one eye. Then I would love to do a purple minion! So many ideas. I need to put some of these little guys to work!

The KU rowing team won their next medals: gold, silver and bronze during the Academic Championships of Poland in Bydgoszcz.
This May weekend Kozminski sent its first ever official delegation for the European Model United Nations conference in Maastricht, Netherlands.
KU held a conference "Strategy for Poland. A quarter of a century later" with the participation of: former President of the Republic of Poland Aleksander Kwaśniewski, Minister of Investment and Development Jerzy Kwieciński, and Prof. Grzegorz Kołodko
We are pleased to announce that Kozminski University has its own repository! Contatining monographs and articles published over the last 10 years.
prof. Witold Bielecki
Rector of Kozminski University Graduate of the Faculty of Economic Sciences at the University of Warsaw, holder of PhD degree in organization and management science. Chair of Quantitative Methods and Information Technology Department. Combining scientific career with business activity for many years now. Member of supervisory boards of companies like: EnergoPlasma S. A., Bank BGŻ, PZU, ZBM Investor S.A., PTR Development S.A.
Author of 3 books, over 80 articles featured in both domestic and foreign scientific journals, co-author of two business simulation computer games (MANAGER and ADMINIST) and of a multimedia package designed for entrepreneur training. As part of MBA Executive studies, he teaches systems for supporting management decisions.
The programme has been granted three accreditations awarded to business schools - EQUIS, AMBA i AACSB.
They form the so-called triple crown, and all of the best business schools aspire to obtain all three of them. Among about 11,000 such schools in the world, there are only 58 that have been awarded all three accreditations. Such distinction is a certain obligation, which requires us to develop in a continuous manner. This gives employers hiring graduates of a university awarded the said accreditations a certainty that their new employees have the right knowledge and skills to pursue and accomplish the tasks and duties they are entrusted with.
The goal of the offered studies is to provide programme participants with contemporary knowledge covering the broadly understood area of management, which forms the basis for the development of practical management skills: analysis and development of method to solve in-company problems, ability to formulate development strategies, to make decisions efficiently, to negotiate effectively, to communicate and cooperate with others. The programme introduces its participants to general economic, cultural, social, and political conditions related to regional and global economies where managers and their organizations operate.
Graduates of the programme receive a diploma that is recognized and valued in the environment of executives and entrepreneurs as it is a proof of high managerial competence, supporting the holder's further professional development.
The studies finish with a written final project covering a solution to a specific management problem. The diploma project is developed in groups of 3-4, and is to be defended before an examination board. An additional condition to finish the studies is to pass all courses taught during four semesters of the programme.

Here is the interactive
Otherwise you can look at this sequence of pictures.
Picture 2.
Picture 3.
Picture 4.
Picture 5.
In the sketch, line AC rotates around the origin, A. The rotation is controlled by point C on the unit circle. At the bottom of the sketch, there is a number line on which is plotted the slope of line AC. Double-click the Animate button and watch (or imagine) how the slope of AC changes as C moves around the circle.
Things you might have noticed:
If connecting the ends of an infinitely long line makes you really nervous, use the right red semicircle instead. This represents all slopes, negative and positive, and also represents the corresponding angles that the line makes with the x axis: from -90 degrees to 90 degrees. This gives a one-to-one (and continuous, for those who know calculus) correspondence between the points of the number line and the points of the semicircle, excluding its endpoints at -90 and 90. Now bend this semicircle until the two missing endpoints come together and fill in the gap with a point at infinity. You get a circle, or at least a loop. Each point of this circle corresponds to a distinct slope, including vertical lines. As point C goes around the original circle once, the corresponding point goes around the smaller circle twice.
Interactive sketch.
Now we have a Euclidean plane, a new line of points at infinity, and a point at infinity for the line at infinity. (All the points at infinity form a projective line , which has the shape of a loop.) We also define some new "incidence" relations: what points are on what lines, and what lines intersect at what points.
A point at infinity is on every line that has the slope it corresponds to.
Every point at infinity is also on the new line at infinity. So now two lines always intersect: parallel lines intersect at the point at infinity corresponding to their common slope. The line at infinity intersects any regular line at the point at infinity corresponding to the regular line's slope.
The Euclidean plane is an infinite flat surface. What does the projective plane look like, once all these new strange points are added? Here are some pictures.
More explanations of the pictures:
The projective plane doesn't go off to infinity; all the infinite lines have been turned into finite loops.
To see how to get these strange shapes by adding new points to the
plane, first shrink the entire plane onto a disk
that doesn't include its boundary. You can think of this disk
as the interior of the circle that point C moves on in the first sketch.
A line through the origin in the plane
now corresponds to a diameter of this disk.
The two missing endpoints, for example, C and C', of the diameter correspond to the "ends" of the original line. Connect the ends of the diameter with a point at infinity corresponding to the slope of the diameter. Now it's a loop, not a line. Do this to every diameter. Note that you have to do it only for half the circumference of the disk, since the other half is taken care of by the other endpoint of each diameter.
If you try to do this procedure with a piece of cloth, you will see that you soon get a snarly mess. The disk has to cross through itself to finish all the connecting. The pictures you saw are what you would get if you could actually do this.

BMW 335i E93 Convertible - Tinted / Smoked Tail Lights Vinyl Car Wrap
Note: All photo sets includes before and after pictures
I had this newer 2012 or 2011 alpine white BMW E93 335 convertible come by for me to tint / smoke their tail lights and black out the chrome window trim (I'll post pictures of that process later). The owner of this car was from Irvine / Orange County and drove out to me in Anaheim Hills to get the vinyl work done. The tint / smoke film is very light and just slightly darkens the tail lights enough to give it a very factory look. It's light enough where you most likely won't get any hassle from cops about them. It's also light enough where if you put it on the headlights, fog lights, etc, it won't reduce the light output by that much compared to darker films.

One of our favorite designers, Lambertson Truex, has finally opened up an online boutique! We knew this was in the making and patiently waited for them to open their online doors to shoppers. Even though LT bags are sold at Saks online and other retailers, the selection was never quite as large as I would like. And although the selection at their online boutique does not cover all of their bags, it is a substantial number of many of their classics. The Box Car is one of the brands most well-known designs and is available on their online shop, along with the Gstaad, Framed Clutch, and Paxton (all PB favorites).

Tucked away just inside the fast paced city sits the Shambhala Meditation Center of Albany. This volunteer-run operation tries to help people realize their full potential using the art of Shambhala meditation. The center is housed at 747 Madison Ave. on the eastern end of the neighborhood.
Membership here continues to grow as more people realize how important meditation is, according to Ellen Rook, a past director of the center.
"People are starting to see that just as it's important to maintain physical health, it is just as important to train the mind," Rook said. "Meditation and Buddhism give you a path to wake up. It points out your natural qualities and it's a great way to learn to be gentle and friendly to yourself and the world."
The Shambhala Meditation Center of Albany is part of Shambhala International, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Shambhala Meditation Method was founded by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and the tradition is continued by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Rinpoche is a member of the Mukpo clan of eastern Tibet and is a descendent of the warrior-king Gesar of Ling. There are five stages in which the teachings unfold: meditation in everyday life, contentment in everyday life, joy in everyday life, fearlessness in everyday life, and wisdom in everyday life. The Center is helping people from all over, no matter what their religion, to realize their full potential through Shambhala Meditation.
"It's the nature of our minds to wander and think. Our minds are always resting on something. We are taming our mind to stay," said Scheryl McCathran, a long time member of the
Center. People's minds wander around thousands of things every day, Shambhala Meditation helps you to focus on one thing at a time. Joe Mikrut said that "the whole idea is to calm your mind and bring one pointedness to your thought process."
The Shambhala Meditation Center celebrates 30 years in Albany next month. It has been located in the Pine Hills neighborhood for just over three years, and has only been in its current location since August. The new location puts the center and its members close to Washington Park which allows them to have walking park meditations when the weather is nice. Rook said the Pine Hills neighborhood is filled with people of all ages and is a great centrally located area. The majority of members are from the 12208 zip code but others come from all over the area.
In an effort to attract as many people as possible, they offer a variety of different programs and are open for meditation Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Thursdays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. It is a very relaxed environment and is surprisingly quiet for its location, with a small library and tea to enjoy before or after your meditation.
The Center is run completely by volunteers. Donations are accepted before each session, but regular sessions are free of charge. It is a community of people trying to realize their inner potential and learn and practice the art of Shambhala Meditation. According to Mikrut, "Once you begin and you learn the benefits, it's impossible to stop."
[gopher videoid="693991277001″ isbrightcove="yes" autoplay="no"]
Those interested in getting involved the first Wednesday of every month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. is a Learn to Meditate session. The Center also offers free mediation instructors to help out new members. In addition, there are plenty of other classes to participate in. The Center also offers training. Level One: The Art of Being Human is the first step and is held on Friday December 3 at 7:30 a.m. and Sunday December 5 at 1 p.m. One Sunday of the month is Dakini Sunday, which is a chance for women to gather and explore the Dakini Wisdom ($15 per Sunday, or $10 for members). The next Dakini Sunday is on December 12 at 10 am. Check out more on their website at http://www.albany.shambhala.org/.

Posts Tagged "best"
The prospect of returning to work after years away from my career was daunting. I faced a host of challenges: a lack of recent and relevant experience, outdated corporate skills, and uncertainty about my Baby Boomer place in a Millennial-focused world.
I still thought, however, based upon my early career success and an advanced degree in my field, that I'd get a great offer in no time. It didn't happen. My strategy—jumping into a role that was the wrong fit (and later leaving), followed by picking up consulting gigs here and there and then trying to explain it all in a resume with gaps and changes—was failing. I needed a strategic shift.
So I changed everything, from how I was approaching the job search process to my end goal. As a result, I applied for and landed a returnship, with Goldman Sachs. (If you've never heard of it, a returnship is an internship for people returning to the workforce.) It enabled me to add current and substantive experience to my resume, and reset my career path so I could once again move forward.
Here are the six most important lessons I learned in my quest to get back on track.
1. Update Your Online Presence
Being a somewhat tech-savvy boomer, I had a LinkedIn profile.
But too many people have ones that are lackluster or outdated. If that's you, place this at the top of your to-do list. Both recruiters and hiring managers use the site to find and screen candidates.
I left off dates for my degrees to minimize age bias, and truncated my experience to the past 10 to 15 years (I recommend you do the same!).
2. Network—Always
You may think that networking is just for young professionals who need to meet new people. That's simply not true. It's beneficial regardless of your age.
For example, I had a friend put in a good word for me, and I know that helped me to be considered for the role at Goldman.
Here are four things you should start doing (if you're not already):
Periodically touch base with professional contacts. Be memorable by sending a personal note and an interesting article once a month.
Let the other person know that you respect their time by being specific when you have an "ask." Say (or write): "I'd really appreciate your perspective—can we speak/meet for 15 minutes?" And then stick with that time commitment.
Extend your network. Ask your contacts to connect you with their contacts.
Follow-up with a thank you note, every time. Take it to the next level by offering to be of help if they ever need your perspective or expertise.
3. Make it Easy for People to Help You
If you're asking someone to refer you, give them everything they need, so they can simply send along your details.
So, if you're applying to a role at their company, this includes the job name, job number, your resume, and bullets outlining what skills and experience you'd bring that match the requirements for the role.
People are busy, and so if you give them a complete email they can simply forward, it's a lot more likely it'll get passed on.
4. Refine Your Elevator Pitch
When you've had a lot of experience, it's important (though often hard) to be clear about your objectives.
What are your areas of expertise?
What type of role are you looking for?
It'll be tempting to rattle off everything you've done in the past, or say, "I can really do anything." But a long speech can be overwhelming for listeners—and can make you look overqualified—and unfocused. So, cut it down and zero in on one thing you want the other person to come away with. My rule of thumb is that it should be no longer than 30 seconds.
5. Practice Self-Care
Unreturned emails, closed doors, and rejection all sting. But, it happens to pretty much everyone, especially when you're outside the "sweet spot" of hiring prospects.
There'll be surprises for better and worse: People that you'd have bet would be right there to help aren't; and people you barely knew will do all they can.
So, it's all the more important to be kind to yourself: go the gym, meet friends, and see a movie! That stuff may seem frivolous when you're job searching, but it'll help you feel happier—and keep you from letting your identity be wrapped up in your professional life.
6. Pay it Forward
Once you've landed in your new role, do what you can to help a colleague or friend of a friend. It could be at work, like offering to mentor junior employees.
Or, it could be that someone contacts you seeking your advice. Remember how you felt when you were job searching and do your best to find the time!
And of course, when you're hiring in the future, give those who've had winding career paths a second look.
After my 10-week returnship program ended, I was asked to stay on for another year—and I did, happily. When my role recently came to an end, leaving Goldman Sachs was bittersweet.
But one thing that made me feel better is that I knew I was ready to find my next, more permanent position. On this search, I have not only a solid and recent accomplishment to leverage, but all of the lessons I've learned the last time around, as well as some new and treasured Millennial friends.

Your first few weeks at a new job can be exhilarating. It's often fast-paced and full of brand new things that can reignite a spark that you lost. After all, that might've been your reason for looking for this new gig in the first place.
But, it can also be overwhelming. And when you look at all the meetings on your calendar, you might think that your goal is to survive it. You can always go back and re-learn anything you missed this week, right?
And in a lot of ways, that's true. Nobody expects you to master everything you learn during your first month, especially when it comes to understanding the finer details about your company. But there is an important question you should ask in every meeting you have (when it makes sense, of course):
How can my work make your life easier?
You might be thinking, "I barely know where the coffee machine is! How can I think about helping anyone else right now?" And that's totally fair. But on my first day at my current job, my boss suggested that I set up meetings with everyone on my team and ask each of them this question. It was terrifying, and if I'm being honest, I really didn't want to do it. But I didn't want to disappoint my new boss more, so I got over my fear and piped up.
And when I did, I was pleasantly surprised by how it went.
Some people had really strong opinions. Others told me that they hadn't even thought about it, but appreciated that I opened the conversation with that question. But what I ultimately learned was that your intro meetings don't have to be a one-way street.
As much as you have to learn, it's important to remember that you were hired to bring something different to the table—and you can do that as early as your first week on the job.
Again, I'm not going to pretend that this won't be uncomfortable. I also understand that in some meetings, this will be seen as completely out-of-context. But when the opportunity presents itself and it feels like the next natural thing to say—challenge yourself to say it.
And then, before you worry you're putting too much on your plate, know that you can respond with, "That's really interesting to hear, once I'm completely onboarded, I'd love to find more time to discuss how can I start making this happen."
I know. Asking this question might not make your first month any easier, but it'll make the exact right impression on your new team. Not to mention, it'll set you up to prioritize your tasks correctly. So take a deep breath and do it!

Your paycheck just got a bit heftier, and you're thinking about finally biting the bullet and buying yourself that new computer, or taking your significant other out to a super nice restaurant, or splurging on a massage more than once a year. Or, maybe you're trying to be more fiscally responsible, so you've decided to throw all that extra money into a savings account that you'll one day use for something important.
Turns out, neither of these options is guaranteed to make you as happy in the long term as a third option—buying yourself time.
A recent study cited in The Washington Post found that some of the happiest people are those who invest their hard-earned money into outsourcing chores they dislike to do, such as cleaning or grocery shopping.
And, these findings doesn't discriminate based on household income, marital status, or number of children—meaning no matter who you are and how much you make, this applies to you, too (even if you'd argue having the latest cool products is all the happiness you need).
So, why do so many of us lean toward buying nice things the second our bank accounts grow? Says the article's author Jenna Gallegos, "…we're hesitant to trade money, which is concrete and measurable, for time, which is much more uncertain," while we know exactly what we're getting our money for when we buy goods.
And yet, time is so valuable in our lives and careers. It means the difference between leaving work early or staying late, getting all our tasks done or only getting halfway through our to-do list, checking our email on vacation or having the luxury to truly unplug. So, if we could afford to get back an extra hour in the morning, or free up our evenings or weekends to work on things that actually matter to us, wouldn't we be willing to pay for it?
Consider it the next time you get a raise or bonus—maybe you trade an expensive smartwatch for a laundry service that delivers (because sorting whites and colors every Sunday morning drives you crazy).
Of course I'm not saying that you can't treat yourself to something you've worked hard for, but having clean clothes magically appear when you need them and an entire Sunday to yourself sounds pretty awesome, doesn't it?

A key element of the Narara Ecovillage's 'smart grid', a $165,000 tap-change transformer, arrived at the village in late April.
According to the Ecovillage Project Director, Mr John Talbott, the arrival heralds the village's next step towards producing the smartest and cleanest community owned energy network in Australia.
The development of the smart grid, including the purchase of the transformer, has been made possible by a grant of $965,000 from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
The ecovillage's power will come entirely from solar photovoltaic panels, mounted both on private homes and on community buildings.
The ecovillage's smart grid will then calculate how much power should be used, and how much should be stored, or returned to the grid.
It will do this by predicting both future demand and the amount of energy that will be produced by the solar panels.
The system will even take into account changing weather conditions like cloudy days and can export surplus energy back to the State-owned grid.
All of this will be made possible by the newly arrived transformer.
Ms Lyndall Parris, ecovillage founder, welcomed the funds.
"We're so thrilled to have secured the grant from ARENA," she said.
"The smart grid is a fundamental requirement of our goal to be a 'leading-edge' sustainable community and will supply the power needed for normal home use, charging electric vehicles, supporting small businesses and even treating our own water on-site.
"One day we may even be able to sell power to the neighbours," she added.
ARENA CEO, Mr Ivor Frischknecht, said, "While direct savings in energy costs will benefit the members of the Narara Ecovillage community, the knowledge gained in developing these advanced and cutting edge technologies will benefit many other towns and communities around Australia in moving to a sustainable future."

At the peak of luxury accommodation, within Mexico's most alluring destination, we strive to deliver a service beyond five star expectations.
Met with our own desire to be comforted during vacation in unfamiliar territory, we stepped-up when other Cabo luxury services were trying, but not achieving.
Our creatively efficient group of local professionals is comprised of a Confident Concierge Team, Destination Specialists, Real Estate Advisors and Interior Designers. With our combined talents and more than 50 years in Cabo, we know the best options when custom-tailoring a villa vacation for your family, your friends, your wedding and beyond.

" Javier and Danette made the planning and execution seamless and all 14 folks in our group plan to be back next year. Muchos Gracias Folks! "
" We strongly recommend Cabo Platinum, which provided exceptional service and was responsive to all our needs. To that end, we have already booked Casa Brooks for next year! "
" A compliment to Danette and her team, who worked extremely hard to ensure our trip was perfect from the beginning of our planning process all the way through execution. She listened closely to our needs and provided the right recommendations and itinerary to match what we wanted (and had connections in Cabo for all our requests). "
" Hands down, Cabo Platinum took care of me and my family better than any other experience we've had. We are not the easiest family to work with, because of all our odd needs and requests, but they were all taken care of. From airport transportation to having food in our villa to organizing our trips to swim with dolphins and ATVs - Cabo Platinum took care of everything! Hector and Quetza were the best and Carolina was an absolute sweetheart. "
Danette made Cabo San Lucas home in 2006 when she moved from Whistler, BC. She has been assisting clients with purchasing real estate in the Baja since 2007 and founded Cabo Platinum, luxury villa rentals, in Los Cabos in 2011.

Javier comes Los Cabos from the bustling city of Guadalajara. His talents stem from a healthy career in Entertainment & Nightlife. With projects in both Los Angeles and Los Cabos, Javier was instrumental in managing the launch of several well known restaurants and nightclubs. Javier's talented network of local operators and knowing "What's HOT" in Los Cabos, makes him a great resource for our groups interested in "Cabo-after-dark."
When Javier is not running around town making vacations perfect, he can be found kite-surfing on the East Cape or playing Ping Pong competitively.

She loves to cook with spice and has several fabulous Mexican specialties. She prepares all her dishes to the tastes of our guests, according to their needs and requests. She was professionally trained at CESSA University in Mexico City with a degree in Culinary Arts.
Quetza has 2 dogs and enjoys to continually learn new cooking techniques and perfecting her trade. Many guests have been repeat clients to Cabo Platinum, just for Quetza's cooking!
Jose was only 6 years old when he moved from Mainland Mexico to Los Cabos. He quickly found himself in love with food, libations and the successful mixture of both to create the perfect restaurant visit. This passion pushed him through many well known establishments: Tropicana, Cabo Wabo and Charlee Trotter's famous restaurant in the One&Only.
When Jose has a moment away from creating memorable vacations, you can find him on one of his favorite beaches, surf fishing.

Yummy Italian Trout Recipe – Montana Outdoor Update
If you had any luck hooking into some fish recently. You are always looking for new ways to cook up your catch. For today's update I present to you a great recipe for Lake Trout. Lake Trout Marinara is quick, easy and damn good.
What you need.
Two (six to eight ounce) lake trout fillets
One 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes with juice
Two cloves (or more) minced garlic
One small diced onion
One package fresh chopped sweet basil
Quarter cup olive oil
One twelve ounce package linguine pasta
Grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
What you do.
Fry the fillets in a small amount of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and set aside. Next pour the rest of the olive oil in a deep fry pan and add the garlic and onion. When the garlic is gold in color add the diced tomatoes with juice, basil and then salt and pepper to taste. Bring this to a slow simmer and cook covered for twenty minutes. Now add the cooked trout and heat throughout.
While sauce is cooking prepare your lightly salted water for the linguine pasta. Put the pasta in the boiling water about eight minutes before the sauce is done. Strain the pasta and put on a large serving platter. Now arrange the heated fillets on the pasta and top the fish and pasta with the sauce. Next sprinkle the cheese over the top before serving family style. Fresh Italian bread goes well with this along with a fresh green salad.

Announcing Inogen One G4 Brand New Release to the Australian Market!
Meet the Inogen One G4 Concentrator
Inogen is hands down one of the leading innovators in the oxygen industry. They sparked an oxygen therapy revolution with their first portable concentrator, the Inogen One and haven't looked back since.
Introducing the smallest portable oxygen concentrator from the most popular brand, Inogen. The Inogen One G4 is capable of providing oxygen delivery in an unbelievable small and quiet package. With flow settings from 1-3, the Inogen One G4 is designed to give the user Oxygen Anytime, Anywhere ! It also includes Inogen's Intelligent Delivery technology, which sets it apart from the competition. This innovative system rapidly detects a breath and delivers oxygen in the first 400 milliseconds. This is critical because this period is when the most gas exchange occurs in the lungs. Delivering oxygen at the start of a breath ensures that the oxygen is used more efficiently by your body.
Quite operation At only 40 decibels, the G4 produces less noise than a normal indoor conversation. This means you won't disturb others when you use your oxygen concentrator and will feel more comfortable in social settings. It's also great in quiet environments when you want to be unobtrusive.
Detects your breath cycle giving you a 24/7 Oxygen Solution! Furthermore, Intelligent Delivery accurately detects your breathing rate and adjusts the oxygen level provided accordingly. If you're exercising or physically active, the unit will provide smaller, quick bursts of oxygen to satisfy your energy needs. However, during rest or sleep the system provides larger oxygen boluses more slowly to correspond with your decreased rate of respiration. This means the G4 can be effectively used during sleep at night, an area where many other portable oxygen concentrators fall short. With the G4, you won't need separate oxygen systems for the day and night.
Smallest and most powerful portable on the market! The Inogen One G4 is officially the smallest and lightest portable oxygen concentrator in its class. Weighing in at 1.27kgs with the single battery, the Inogen One G4 is more than 40% lighter than the Inogen One G3 and it's about half the size!
Expected Battery duration • Single Battery- Up to 2 hours on a setting of 2 • Double Battery- Up to 4.5 hours on a setting of 2
Features include
- Inclusive 3 Year Warranty
- 20,000 hour compressor life

How much does the Inogen One G4 cost?

All patients needing home oxygen in Australia must have a prescription issued to them for treatment. A full diagnosis and physiological assessment, including blood gases, must be completed to ensure oxygen therapy is the right course of action for each situation.
Not sure who to talk to? Call us for a referral*.
*This referral is a guide to information only, not a Doctor's referral.
Can I travel with my Inogen One G4?
It is vital that you check with your airline prior traveling to see if your carrier has any specific requirements for the use of portable oxygen on-board.
Can I rent or hire the Inogen One G4?
What accessories come with the G4?
- The Inogen One G4 System
- 1 x 4 Cell Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries
- New Design Carry Bag & Strap
- AC Power Supply
- Mobile Charger
- Nasal Cannula
- Full three year manufacturer parts and labour warranty.
How long does the Inogen G4 battery last?
- 2.7 hours 4 cell or 5 hours 8 cell
These are approximate values. A flow setting of 1 indicates an equivalent 1 litre per minute dose where a flow setting of 4 indicates an equivalent 4 litre per minute dose. Delivered as a pulse dose. Using the larger 8 cell Inogen G4 battery provides twice the battery life of the 8 cell.

Savvy B2B Marketing
As marketers, we all know that you need to lead with the pain. And if you've spent any time watching paid shows on Saturday morning TV, you will be familiar with the dramatically grimacing faces of the TV actors as they attempt to cut a tin can with a regular knife, dry off their car with a regular rag, store food in the freezer with regular baggies: "You could spend hours trying to…" "You could spend hundreds of dollars trying to…" "You could create a big mess trying to…" You get my drift; identify the problem, make it sound as horrible as possible, then "wow" them with the perfect solution.
There is beautiful logic to this, and I am certainly not suggesting that we do away with this tried-and-true formula entirely. What I am suggesting is that there is a different way to go about it, and you may want to consider if it is appropriate for your next project.
Research has shown that people who are inspired by someone like Donald Trump are much more likely to be financially successful than those who are afraid of becoming a hobo. What does that mean? People are more inspired by reaching for something great than merely avoiding something unpleasant. Let's apply this to a sample message:
A) Disaster can strike at any moment, wiping out your business data and subjecting you to hours of costly downtime. Online backup keeps a copy of your data safely out of harm's way so you can recover quickly when disaster strikes.
B) You've worked hard to build your business, and to keep your momentum going you need everyone on your team working to their full potential every day. With online backup, your valuable business data is protected and available, so if you ever run into a glitch with your local systems, it won't slow down progress.
You can see that these two messages, while saying the same thing, "protect your data," frame it very differently. The trouble with example A is that we come off heavy-handed, warning someone about a disaster that they are likely to think won't happen to them. Subtly, we are saying that we are smarter than they are, because we are telling them that they need to protect their data and why, as if they didn't already know. In example B, we turn it around, painting a picture of unbridled success and gently reminding them that they don't want to let anything get in the way of that. We sound more like a partner who is interested in their success, instead of a smarmy marketer trying to scare them into making a decision.
Like I said, it may not always be appropriate. But the next time you find yourself writing, "Our Company has the solution…" see if you can reframe it more inspirationally. And see how your prospects respond.
Have you tried phrasing anything inspirationally lately? Point us to it.
