BlurbA Clockwork Orange is a dystopian novel by Anthony Burgess published in 1962. Set in a near future English society that has a subculture of extreme youth violence, the novella has a teenage protagonist, Alex, who narrates his violent exploits and his experiences with state authorities intent on reforming him. When the state undertakes to reform Alex—to "redeem" him—the novella asks, "At what cost?". The book is partially written in a Russian-influenced argot called "Nadsat". According to Burgess it was a jeu d'esprit written in just three weeks.
In 2005, A Clockwork Orange was included on Time magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923, and it was named by Modern Library and its readers as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. The original manuscript of the book has been located at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada since the institution purchased the documents in 1971.

3 Tips for Building Muscle in Your 30's
The US government recommends that adults schedule at least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise a week. If you're looking for how to build lean muscle, however, you'll need a different routine.
Keep reading for three tips on building muscle in your 30s. With these tips, you can get back to the gym and start accomplishing your fitness goals.
Otherwise, you might find the wear and tear on your body is doing more harm than good. Without exercise, your body will start to deteriorate and weaken over time, too.
Start getting in shape at 30 with these three tips!
1. Set a Routine
When building muscle in your 30s, the first thing you need to do is schedule a routine. Right now, improving your strength is your primary goal. However, you don't need to lift three times your body weight to discover how to get lean muscle.
Instead, make a commitment to get to the gym for squats, deadlifting, and benching. Aim to lift one to 1.5 times your body weight. Making the commitment will help you learn how to build lean muscle in time.
Only making it to the gym once a week, however, will put your goals much further out of reach.
Try to schedule a full-body training routine. That way, you hit all of your major muscle groups throughout the week. Consider working with a trainer, too.
With a program, you can improve your strength, build muscle, and boost your power even in your 30s.
2. Improve Your Lifestyle
More than 80% of adults don't meet the guideless for muscle-strengthening activities. For building muscle after 30, you're going to make a lot of changes. In addition to increasing your muscle-strengthening activities, you'll also need to:
- Consume plenty of protein
- Avoid processed foods
- Limit carbs and sugars
There are also ways you can naturally increase your testosterone levels. When you hit the age of 30, your testosterone levels will start to decline. However, you can increase testosterone by:
- Lifting weights
- Reducing stress
- Getting enough sleep
- Eating more dietary fat
Making these changes to your lifestyle will make building muscle in your 30s a lot easier than it seems.
3. Let Yourself Recovery
Once you set a routine and start heading to the gym regularly, make sure you add sleep to your schedule too. If you sleep fewer than six hours a night, your body won't heal properly.
In fact, sleep deprivation can increase your risk of weight gain and hypertension. It can also weaken your immune system, impact your mood, and hurt your sex drive.
Your body rebuilds while you're sleeping. At the same time, your body releases growth hormones and rebuilds tissues, which is necessary if you're building muscle in your 30s.
Improve your sleep by limiting your caffeine intake, setting a sleep routine, and limiting screen time before bed. Sleeping in colder temperatures can help, too.
Getting into Shape: 3 Effective Fitness Tips for Building Muscle in Your 30s

The iPhone Is Alive and Well (At Least in the United States)
Much of Apple's remarkable slide from more than $700 last fall to lows below $400 this spring can be explained by worries that the highly profitable iPhone is running out of growth opportunities. So far, the iPhone has achieved limited traction in developing countries, where incomes are lower and smartphone subsidies are minimal or non-existent. People in the developing world are opting for cheaper smartphones, most of which run Google's Android OS.
Meanwhile, Apple bears have cautioned that Apple has already saturated the market for high-end smartphones in the U.S. and other wealthy countries. However, while roughly 60% of U.S. cell phone users already have a smartphone, that still leaves room for growth. Moreover, Apple is continuing to gain share from rival platforms in the U.S. In short, the iPhone is alive and well in the U.S., with plenty of room for further growth.
iPhone gaining share
According to the latest data from comScore, covering the three-month period ending in May, 39.2% of U.S. smartphone subscribers had an iPhone. Meanwhile, Google maintained the top spot in the U.S., with Android representing 52.4% of the market. Apple's share was up from 38.9% in February, despite not having released a new phone since September 2012. Part of the share gain may have been due to the iPhone's launch on T-Mobile in mid-April .
The iPhone 5 launched at T-Mobile this spring (photo courtesy of Apple).
Moreover, Apple's share of the U.S. smartphone market was up significantly compared with the three months ending in May 2012. In that prior-year period, Apple held just 31.9% of the market, compared with 50.9% for Android. Thus, while Android is still gaining share in the U.S., Apple has been the clear winner over the past year, gaining 7 percentage points of share, mostly at BlackBerry's expense. BlackBerry's share has dropped from 11.4% in May 2012 to just 4.8% in the most recent batch of data.
Apple's U.S. smartphone market share growth demonstrates the success of its carrier expansion. Apple just added No. 4 carrier T-Mobile as a partner a few months ago, but it has also added Verizon and SprintNextel relatively recently (in February 2011 and October 2011, respectively). Given the prevalence of two-year smartphone contracts in the U.S., Apple is still reaping the benefits of this carrier partner expansion.
For example, Verizon recently reported that it sold more than 3.8 million iPhones in Q2, which represented an approximately 44% unit growth rate. More than half of the smartphones sold by Verizon last quarter were iPhones, even though the iPhone 5 launched more than six months before the quarter began.
The market still grows
It's also worth pointing out that the U.S. smartphone market is still growing, albeit more slowly than previously. According to comScore's data, there were 141 million U.S. smartphone subscribers at the end of May, up from approximately 110 million at the same time in 2012. The U.S. smartphone user base has thus grown by nearly 30% in the past year.
Putting that together with the market share data discussed earlier, we can calculate that the U.S. iPhone user base has swelled from 35 million to 55 million in just one year. That's obviously a very healthy growth rate for the subscriber base. Given Apple's legendary customer satisfaction scores, it should lead to a profitable long-term revenue stream from user upgrades.
Foolish takeaway
It's fair to view FY13 as a setback for Apple, as revenue growth hasn't been high enough to offset falling margins, leading to a decline in EPS. However, underneath the surface, most of Apple's business is still healthy. In the U.S., the iPhone subscriber base has continued to grow rapidly despite "saturation" fears. Apple's addition of new carrier partners in the U.S. -- most recently T-Mobile -- has helped the iPhone gain share consistently.
This experience also has significant implications for Apple's success overseas. There are still numerous carriers that have yet to offer the iPhone, such as China Mobile and Japan's NTT DoCoMo. If Apple can add more carrier partners in major international markets, it will probably boost its overall market share, offsetting the slowing growth rate of the smartphone market as a whole.
Apple may be rising to the top of the pile in the U.S. smartphone and tablet markets, but its rivals have their own plans to gain a bigger share of your mind (and your wallet).

The title says it all! I'm a little particular when it comes to sushi. A lot of my friends think sushi means fried shrimp, panko crumbs, and cream cheese. Yes, I said cream cheese. I've seen it, and it's sad. However, once in awhile, you find a place that will please everyone's definition of "sushi," without the cream cheese. Sushi Kinoya has sashimi, they have rolls, they have fresh sweet shrimp, they have teriyaki chicken, and more!
The salmon sashimi here is fresh, fatty, and DELICIOUS! I would recommend this to everyone, especially those who aren't super into raw fish. If they don't like this, then there is no hope for them.
These thick cut pieces of yellowtail are melt-in-your-mouth goodness with just the right hint of spicy from the jalapeno.
For your pickier friends, I'll delve into more familiar territory. This spider roll was fresh and crunchy in all of the right ways.
The spicy tuna roll is a great safe choice for your friends that are just getting into sushi. They can get it pretty much anywhere that serves sushi, so it will be familiar. However, here, it is a standout. I'm not normally impressed by spicy tuna rolls anymore. I would rather indulge in another fun roll, but this is the perfect level of spicy and great quality, so I always order it.
This blue crab roll with avocado is the definition of #bombdotcom.
The Rock n' Roll is my ABSOLUTE favorite! I have never had a cucumber wrapped roll, but with little to compare it to, I am still confident that this is the best around! It is filled with albacore, salmon, crab, tuna, avocado, and sambai sauce. It's great to indulge in a roll without feeling full from rice.
Everything is reasonably priced and so fresh! They don't have a website, but if you need more proof that they kick ass, visit their Yelp page (not that I endorse Yelp).

The University Indian Ruin site is within the boundries of the neighborhood and is approximately 13 acres in size. The land is owned by the University of Arizona's Department of Anthropology through a generous donation from a former U of A archaeology student, gifted in 1933 in order that there would be a working site with which to train archaeology students.
As the story goes, centuries before Europeans first came to the Tucson Basin, a group of Indians with a distinctive way of life settled here. They were called the Hohokam (ho-ho-kam), a Pima Indian word meaning "all used up". The Hohokam people built villages close to streams in order to farm the rich soil, and to hunt and gather in the surrounding desert and mountains. Following a long period of early farmers beginning 4,000 years ago, the Hohokam lived in the Tucson Basin from about A.D. 300 to 1500. According to the dating of artifacts found, the Hohokam people who settled on Indian Ridge land were here from approximately A.D. 1150 to as late as 1450.
Additional discoveries of certain dated artifacts raise the possibility that people were intermittently here as late as the early 1700s and possibly even into the 1800s. The site was once a prominent central place in the late pre-Hispanic settlement pattern of theeastern Tucson Basin. We know this was the only settlement in the area with public or ceremonial architecture, in addition to adobe dwellings. This village served as a public focal point for a much larger community of interrelated and dispersed populations living in numerous surrounding hamlets and small villages. Other evidence of structures and artifacts enables us to estimate that between 600 to 1,000 Hohokam people may have lived in the neighborhood. They farmed the flat low-lying area to the immediate west of the neighborhood. Archaeologists have identified this site as one of the last and largest Hohokam Villages in the Tucson Basin. Features at the site represent more Puebloan influences including contiguous walled room blocks. These villagers were part of the larger Hohokam world whose inhabitants lived in the Sonora Desert of Southern Arizona.
The Indian Ridge Historic District is a wonderful example of a mid century modern planned community built by the Lusk Corporation in Tucson Arizona from 1955 to 1964. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 16th, 2010.
Included in this website is information about the University Indian Ruins where the first residents of this ridge resided and how the neighborhood acquired its name.

You would have to be living under a rock to not know that all is not well in the GCC region right now. This isn't a blog to discuss politics and the bullying antics of neighboring countries against a sovereign nation (oops…see what I did there?). But I can truly say it's business as usual – supermarket shelves are full, ATMs are dispensing cash…expats and citizens are just getting on with life as best we can.
Which brings me to this blog post – for me, this means continuing to eat my way around the city. Last night it was Nobu Doha to try their new Omakase (Chef's choice) menu. This has become a yearly tradition and one a look forward to.
For the first time, Nobu is open during Ramadan and will also start brunch after the Eid period. I'm so happy to see this kind of confidence at the moment.
Back to the task at hand. In a nutshell, this year's menu does not disappoint. In fact, it's possibly their best yet. And, I know many bloggers throw "best ever" around with abandon. I don't. This is serious. Like my love of cheese. And dumplings.
Unlike their competitors, a "chef's choice' at Nobu does NOT mean a "highlights" reel of the current menu – rather new dishes and new approaches.
While it's a set menu, the diner has four options in each course – appeasing every palate. Servings are generous so sharing is possible. Although, sometimes you may not WANT to share.
The first course highlights were a silky salmon tataki with a shiso glaze (sweet, savory and tart all at once – I wanted to lick the plate) and pulled beef on crispy rice. I want to take a minute to appreciate this morsel – the rice is wonderfully dense yet crisp and the beef had the right measure of sauce. At three in a serving, there may be fights.
We also had a chance to try the salad, which was a generous serve drizzled with a moreish sesame (aka goma) dressing. My only quibble is that this should probably be served as a addition to the menu rather than a stand alone option in the starters.
Nobu is known for its fresh and dependable sushi and this plated version is no exception. We shared the salmon and tuna rolls and they were, as always stellar.
The mains caused much discussion at our table. A dish of calamari "pasta" being the center of this discussion. It's pasta, but not as you know it. the pasta is actually pieces of tender calamari served in the lightest of garlic sauce.
We were always going to order the beef tenderloin. Mainly for the wasabi mash which was dispatched in short order. The beef was fresh and cooked as specified – medium rare. Meanwhile a med-style sea bass was light, fresh and firm.
I want to take a minute to appreciate the "pasta" – this is what makes Nobu one of the best restaurants in town for me. The surprise factor. Now this dish actually hails from the mothership in Malibu and was invented by Nobu after a young boy visiting the restaurant with his parents wanted pasta. The pieces of squid are so tender they are almost unrecognizable as the produce we are usually served in Doha. The sauce, filled with vegetables and a hint of garlic does not overwhelm it. I think this will even please the seafood skeptics.
Desserts are always a highlight at Nobu – although we all know my aversion to the sweet life. Not this time. My heart and min was won over by a coconut castella cake. Castella is made of just 4 basic ingredients: bread flour, eggs, sugar and honey. The chef adds coconut (usually my Waterloo) and when all the elements are combined, the result is a moist yet not overhwheming dessert. The miso cream gave that hit of savory which balanced all the flavors.
A matcha tiramisu was anything but a miss as well. Creamy and rich, it will be a hit with diners.
At four generous courses for QR350 this is very good value and you will not leave hungry. Dishes are plated to perfection, the courses well paced to ensure you aren't rushed and as always, the service intelligent and well informed. Although I do feel they should include a signature mocktail or tea to give a feel of a "better deal".
The Verdict
Unlike some other high end restaurants in Doha, Nobu continually ups the ante by trying new menus, new dishes and concepts. this isn't a once over lightly "chef's choice" from the existing menu – rather new and innovative dishes, some borrowed from the international Nobu repertoire. This menu builds on the success and the flavors, with not as much as a misstep. Each dish had a signature that was fundamentally "Nobu" – that little piece of flair that only a world class restaurant can execute. It's lush, interesting yet also comforting. In the current climate, this is just what we need.

The GCU $14.99 sign up was impossible on Sunday when I tried. A good hour of troubleshooting with no resolution. If someone is able to successfully sign up this week please post the steps you and the employee took to make this work.
The only viable way to even get the GCU membership to show at the POS was to print a $14.99 GCU from the preorder kiosk. Yet, once I did this, the system bounced the cashier out with an error message - making a checkout impossible.
Unless this is resolved (by someone posting that they renewed or signed up in the mean time with the steps to do so) it is likely impossible to sign up or renew Gamer's Club Unlocked at this time.

1 Therefore you shall love Jehovah your God, and keep His charge and His statutes and His judgments and His commandments always. 2 And you know today, for I do not speak with your sons who have not known and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, His greatness, His mighty hand, and His stretched-out arm, 3 and His miracles, and His acts which He did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land. 4 And you know what He did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and to their chariots, how He made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and Jehovah has destroyed them to today. 5 And you know what He did to you in the wilderness until you came into this place, 6 and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance in their possession, in the midst of all Israel.
8 Therefore you shall keep all the commandments which I command you today, so that you may be strong and go in and possess the land where you go to possess it, 9 and so that you may make your days longer in the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land that flows with milk and honey. 10 For the land into which you go to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt from which you came out, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, like a garden of herbs. 11 But the land which you are entering to possess it is a land of hills and valleys, drinking water from the rain of the heavens. 12 It is a land which Jehovah your God cares for. The eyes of Jehovah your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.
13 And it will be, if you will listen carefully to My commandments which I command you today, to love Jehovah your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 I will give the rain of your land in its due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil. 15 And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle so that you may eat and be full. 16 Take heed to yourselves that your heart may not be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods, and worship them, 17 and Jehovah's wrath be kindled against you, and He shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain, and so that the land will not yield her fruit, and you perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah gives you.
18 Therefore you shall lay up these my words in your hearts and in your souls, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, so that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 And you shall teach them to your sons, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 20 And you shall write them upon the door posts of your house, and upon your gates, 21 so that your days and the days of your sons may be multiplied in the land which Jehovah swore to give to your fathers, like the days of the heavens upon the earth. 22 For if you will carefully keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him, 23 then Jehovah will drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall possess greater and mightier nations than you. 24 Every place on which the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours, from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the furthest sea shall your border be. 25 There shall no man stand before you, for Jehovah your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon the face of all the land that you shall tread upon, as He has said to you.
26 Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 A blessing if you obey the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you today, 28 and a curse if you will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but will turn aside out of the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known. 29 And it will be, when Jehovah your God has brought you into the land where you go to possess it, you shall set the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse upon Mount Ebal. 30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way of the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the plain across from Gilgal beside the plains of Moreh? 31 For you shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God gives you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it. 32 And you shall be careful to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you today.

Episode 33: State Regulatory Structures Report
Manage episode 271450628 series 2373197
The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), the Council for State Governments (CSG), and the National Governor's Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) partnered with CLEAR on a comprehensive resource covering regulatory structures in use in the United States. The State Regulatory Structures report is informed by a survey conducted by CLEAR asking respondents to indicate which of five regulatory model(s) best represented their current regulatory organization. Results from 46 jurisdictions have been documented based on several different factors, including number of models in place within the jurisdiction, responsibility for decision-making authority, and responsibility for operational functions. In this podcast episode, Suzanne Hultin and Iris Hentze with NCSL talk about the larger Occupational Licensing Consortium Project and the impetus for the regulatory structures report. Stephanie Thompson with CLEAR shares some highlights of data from the report. And Cory Everett, regulatory consultant, provides context on how the report fits into the overall regulatory landscape in the US and what policymakers can take away from the report.

Having a jukebox in your game room is a no-brainer, as we've made clear in this article. But what about the rest of the populace who don't have a game room like you? In a world of smartphones, unbounded internet access, and free music aplenty, have jukeboxes become irrelevant? Is it finally an obsolete relic of the past with no more use in today's fast-paced, internet-based world?
TouchTunes doesn't think so, and they have created the first "smart" jukebox to prove it.
Their Virtuo E-Jukebox no longer competes against the rise of the smartphone; instead, the innovative machine embraces smartphone technology and incorporates it into the timeless experience of listening to a jukebox.
How does it work? With an app, of course. Customers at a local bar or pub can access the Virtuo's huge library of songs through their smart device at any time, and with a press of a button on their own phone, they can choose the music and mood for everyone in the room. This is, of course, the spirit of the jukebox—in a social setting like a pub, people enjoy one another's company by sharing experiences, and that includes sharing music experiences. There is always an appreciation for that individual who can pick the perfect song for the crowd.
TouchTunes' Virtuo takes that concept to a whole new (and modern) level. People can even choose songs from a distance—say, the parking lot—so that upon their arrival, their favorite song is in the middle of playing. That's a great feeling of both control and jukebox spirit that anyone can appreciate.
But that's not all. The E-jukebox can also help you search for songs by lyrics, create your own personalised playlists, take your group picture and print it out for you, as well as offer a karaoke experience. All of this at a price much more affordable for customers than the ever-inflating prices of regular jukebox experiences, which is especially needed in an era where music runs wild and free on the internet.
Fortunately, there's more than one company innovating the jukebox for the next generation of club and pub party-goers. Virtual Jukebox, the name of the company and their service, is based right here in the UK. They provide engaging background music for any locale that has signed up with them.
Like TouchTune, Virtual Jukebox offers an enormous library of songs—boasting one of the largest music libraries in the world—that is accessible from any customer's smart device. Virtual Jukebox provides millions of songs and promises to add thousands more every month.
There is no software to download, and the hardware is minimal—just a small box aptly named the CUBE that hooks up to your sound system; hence, the "virtual" part in the name. Instead of having an interactive machine like the Virtuo, Virtual Jukebox runs its services through a simple PC browser interface, and customers connect to the emulated jukebox by scanning a QR code or sending a text message instead of having to download an app.
Hopefully, these two companies' creations are just the beginning of the jukebox's comeback. There will always be a need for music in social settings like bars and game rooms. It's nice to know that the jukebox continues to offer that service in "smart" and relevant fashion. Now that you know about the Virtuo and Virtual Jukebox, you might just notice one the next time you go out for a few rounds with your mates. When you do, be sure to show some appreciation for this next step in the evolution of the jukebox.
Check out the video below of the Virtuo Jukebox in action:

Are you one of those people that are sick of walking? You know, the mundane trudge of one foot after the other. Gah! It's just too hard!
You need to get from one place to another but you find walking just too, well, too pedestrian? Then Movpak may be the answer.
The Movpak (which kind of sounds like the cream your gran rubs on her lumbago) is a motorised skateboard that folds away in to a handy backpack.
"The Movpak sounds like the cream your gran rubs on her lumbago"
It can travel at up to 15mph, and lasts up to two hours on a full battery, so if we've got the maths right, should get you about 30 miles.
So the Movpak is the future of commuting, right? Well, we're not so sure.
Weighing in at just over 7kg, it's about the same as a regular backpack with a laptop and maybe a few books in. But when you then add your laptop, few books, and your ham & cheese sandwiches in it, you're doubling the weight.
Another issue is the control. We've only got the promotional video to go by, but it appears that the Movpak motor is activated by a handheld device that looks worryingly like a gun or taser.
Given the world we live in today, we think a redesign may be required before Movpak hits the streets.
The negative overshadowing all others, though, is that this is a product designed for people that want to skate to work. But surely these people are already catered for.
Assuming they already have a skateboard and a backpack, they've already got all they need, so we don't see where Movpak fits in to this market.
Furthermore it looks like it's a little too skate kid for the city boys, and a little too city boy for the skate kids.
The people behind Movpak are planning on crowd sourcing funding for their product soon. So if you want in on the ground floor, you have the chance to do so.
It'll be interesting to see if this gets off the ground and, if so, where people will push it. What we do know, though, is that we cant wait to see the first smith grind on one.

Sound Oasis S-550-05 Sound Therapy System – Review
Check out this portable sound therapy system by Sound Oasis
If you are looking for an affordable sound therapy system to mask annoying noises when you are trying to sleep, then this model by Sound Oasis is worth a look. It comes with 6 authentic nature sounds and since it uses Sound Technology as well, you can purchase additional sound cards to increase your sound options.
It also has a timer, ON/OFF button, volume control and a headphone jack. You have the following soothing sounds with this system: ocean surf, stream, rain, white noise, summer night and wind.
- Uses sound card technology.
- 6 authentic, high quality and extra long nature sounds.
- Flawless looping of nature sounds.
- 4 position timer: 30, 60, 90 minutes and continuous.
- Volume control.
- On/Off control.
- Repeat button to play last sounds.
- Headphone jack.
- Omnidirectional reflective speaker.
- Can be mounted on a wall, used flat on its back, or in an upright position.
- Operated by 4 x AA batteries (not included).
- Operated by mains power.
- Size: 6 x 3 x 6.5 inches.
Who would benefit from using a sound therapy system?
In 2015, the CDC came out and actually stated that a lack of sleep is a public health problem and has been linked to car accidents, industrial accidents and even medical errors.
You are also more likely to suffer from medical problems, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity if you have problems sleeping.
Whilst there are many factors that can prevent us from having enough sleep every day, one of these problems is a noisy environment and another is stress.
Environmental factors: Anyone who lives near an airport, freeway or industrial area knows how difficult it is to sleep when you have a constant buzz of background noise. Planes taking off and landing, vehicles zooming past your home, even trains going along the nearby tracks can all cause us to be woken frequently.
Whilst you might become used to a constant noise, noises that come and go – like plains, trains and automobiles 🙂 can keep waking you up, just when you are falling off to sleep again.
Of course, you can have noisy neighbors, kids crying and TVs blaring, not to forget the poor night shift workers who have to try and sleep during the day. On top of all these problems, you can also have a partner who snores all night long, keeping you awake for long periods of time.
A sleep sound therapy system, such as this one by Sound Oasis, helps to mask and block out all of these annoying noises, replacing them with beautiful, soothing, natural sounds that help you to fall asleep and have a much more restful sleep than normal.
Stress factors: Everyone deals with stress in different ways and we all have a certain capacity to cope with the stress in our lives. Regardless of the type of stress in your life, many of us react by worrying about our problems and this worry tends to keep us awake at night.
We can have problems falling asleep, because we are constantly running through problems in our head, looking for solutions or just gnawing away at the problem. Even when we eventually fall asleep, we can wake up in the middle of the night, due to the stress of our worries and the sleepless cycle starts again.
Day to day stresses can affect us at any age and can cover a myriad of different issues. What might concern one person and give them sleepless nights might not affect someone else at all.
Students at school and university are a good example of people who can be greatly affected by stress, loosing sleep the closer they come to exam time. A sound therapy system can help your kids to sleep better at night, but they can also use them to zone out noises during the day when they are studying.
This works well for office workers as well, who find that the normal humdrum in open plan offices is quite annoying, causing them to lose focus at work. A sound machine, playing gently in the background can do wonders to give both students and office workers a peaceful space to work or study.
How do you use the Sound Oasis S-550-05 Sound Therapy System?
Since this sound machine operates on both mains power and batteries, it is fully portable, so you can take it away with you on holiday.
Using the battery power, you can use it when you are camping without power or even when the power goes out at home.
The timer and volume dials are on the right hand side of the sound machine, the buttons for selecting the type of sound you want run along the bottom of the machine and the power and headphone jack are at the back on the left side.
When you purchase the Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System, the 6 natural sounds are already loaded and you simply press the button on the front of the machine to make your selection. When you purchase additional sound cards, you need to fit it into the slot on the top of the machine, making sure to push it all the way in very firmly.
Then you make your selection by pressing the first button the sound machine for the firs sound on the new card, the second button for the second sound … and so on. The dials on the side of the sound machine are for setting the timer or to play the sounds continuously,a s well as to change the volume.
You can plug a headphone jack into the unit if you prefer to listen to the sounds in private as well. This jack is only for your headphones, you can't plug an MP3 player or an iPod into this sound machine. So the only sounds you can hear are the 6 preloaded natural sounds or any from the new sound cards you might purchase.
This sound machine can be placed in an upright position on your bedside table, lying fairly flat or you can mount it on a wall.
If you want a Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System that has a clock, alarm and a gentle volume off feature, then check out the Sound Oasis S-560-03 Sleep Therapy System (it also has a snooze button).
There are 5 different additional sound cards you can purchase :
- Sound Oasis Rhythms of the Sea Sound Card (SC-250-01).
- Sound Oasis Wilderness Journey Sound Card (SC-250-02).
- Sound Oasis Tropical Rain Forest Sound Card(SC-250-03).
- Sound Oasis Sounds for Sleep Sound Card (SC-250-04).
- Sound Oasis White Noise Sound Card (SC-250-05).
Make sure that the SC IDs are shown on the sound card and then you know that you have the right one to fit your machine (SC-250-01 to SC-250-05). These fit both the S-550-05 and the S-560-03 sound machines.
What do customers think about this sound therapy system?
More than 80% of online customer reviews are very positive about this sound machine. They like the timer and the fact that you can add new sounds to the machine.
Even people with tinnitus have found that this machine helps them to sleep more soundly.
Summing up the Sound Oasis S-550-05 Sound Therapy System
If you have problems falling asleep, staying asleep, focusing at work or studying at home, then this sound machine has everything you need to block out annoying noises.
You can sleep a lot better and study or work in peace and quiet with the Sound Oasis Sleep Therapy System.
You have a timer, ON/OFF switch, volume control and headphone jack. There are also individual buttons for the 6 different natural sounds and you can add more sounds to your menu by purchasing additional sound cards.
The majority of customers really like this sound machine and it makes a great gift for yourself, friends or relatives at Christmas or Birthdays.Check out today's price on Amazon

What is Saving Your Life now?
Modern Mrs Darcy reminded me this morning of a great question that Barbara Brown Taylor was given to answer in a speech she was giving. Brown writes about this experience in her eye-opening and soul-soothing novel, Leaving Church. I agree that it is one question that is good for us to return to often. Especially in these winter months (I seem to not be able to write about winter without using the word, "bleak").
Here is what is Saving my Life Right now:
- Shared Hygge, with friends who get it (you know who you are!).
- The gym. I believe in the power of endorphines. I love the happy feels they bring, and I don't think I could enjoy Hygge without working out often.
- My cat. Seriously. She's the best snuggly lap-cat. And she's hilarious, and still gets drunk from catnip. And she makes the entire family laugh. If you follow me on Instagram, search for #LittleMissPoe
- Next Christmas. For the past five Christmases, I've put up some mild decorations and spent most of our time inside the theater, producing A Christmas Carol. It's been a fun, yet lately, stressful experience. Next year, there will be more Christmas decorations, a new production for A Christmas Carol, and more opportunities to share the season with friends. Also, I can't help but scroll through Pinterest for tons of ideas for crafting, baking, and traditions.
- Theater. For all the pain and struggles it brings, it also keep the creative juices flowing. I'm grateful most days, to own a theater company – something that we have creative control over. But it also brings with it some major stresses that we never knew were out there.
- The Instant Pot. Seriously, the best invention since the Crock Pot, but 100 times better. and faster. and more flavorful.
- Reading. I always spend more time reading this time of year, and during the summer poolside months. I have read some great books over the past few years. Sometimes I blog about them, but mostly I keep them listed and organized in my Goodreads account.
- Podcasts. I love listening to podcasts when I'm driving in the car, getting meals ready, cleaning, or mowing the grass. My favorites are about books and reading: Books on the Nightstand (sadly is no longer in production, but still some great back broadcasts), What Should I Read Next?, and The Read Aloud Revival are my go-to's, but I also love Lore and Stuff you Missed in History Class. The boys and I listen to Brains On! Science and Tumble Science podcasts on light school days. I'd love to hear your favorites!
- Fabrics and Fibers. I've been crocheting, cross stitching, and sewing lately. I love working with fabrics and fibers and see the fun things that come from them. Of course, I'm only doing Christmas stuff right now (I have a LOT to get done before November!), but I have been doing this for a decade (sewing) or two (cross stitch and crochet/knitting).
- My best friend. And I happen to be married to him. I won't get all sappy, but it's such a gift to be married to someone you love, cherish, respect, and love, love, love being with!
- Our three boys. Parenting. Oh my is it hard. Those sweet, adorable babies turn into kids with opinions and independent souls. And that's the hardest part, I think. But each one of our boys is a cherished gift and I am blessed that they get to be ours. And I love that they still snuggle.

We measure impact by reviewing and calculating the number of camper enrollments and in-hospital program numbers in a year-over-year comparison across all of our camps as well as individual locations.
Yes, most of our camp staff is paid a salary for the summer.
We are extremely touched that many give the money back when they get their paycheck on the last day of camp. It's a testament to how truly fortunate we are to have our camp staff and who out very special, caring counselors are.
Yes, all of our summer, year-round and hospital programs are completely free of charge to all of our families.
While the physical and mental effects of cancer are hard to ignore, the financial impact this disease has on families is often overlooked. When a child is diagnosed, it is common for one parent to stop working in order to manage their child's disease. Having one less source of income, combined with endless medical expenses only adds to the stress of fighting the disease. No family will ever be charged for a Sunrise program.
Yes, our camps have air-conditioned Wellness Centers, supported by on-site pediatric oncology nurses and a medical director on call. Most medications can be easily administered, and ample indoor areas are provided for children to just "cool down." In the unlikely event of an emergency, transportation by ambulance is provided.
Sunrise on Wheels, is an innovative program that provides a day filled with Sunrise fun to children awaiting treatment in pediatric oncology units of participating hospitals. Volunteers wheel a rainbow trunk bursting with toys, games and activities right into many of our affiliated hospitals and change what could have been a bleak and depressing day into a day of camp fun!
Year-round programs keep the fun going throughout the year because our kids love camp so much that we just had to extend the fun beyond the summer. During the school year, we have Sundays and Fun-days — special activity days for our campers — along with many of the same staff who helped to make their summers so wonderful. Our year-round programs make it possible for our campers to see their friends throughout the year while enjoying summer fun all year long. These camp-like activity days include sports, crafts, special shows & programs, delicious snacks and possibly include swimming in an indoor pool! Just like summer camp, transportation is available. Some of our year-round programs are family events, where parents and children enjoy the fun-filled festivities together.
Whenever we become aware that one of our campers is hospitalized, either camp counselors, staff or volunteers will visit with a few special surprises and a cheery smile. They will sit at bedside and play with the child, share stories of camp days, and even give mom or dad a drop of respite so he or she can go home for a few hours, change clothes and maybe have a hot meal. The continuity from camp to bedside helps our children feel connected to their counselors and friends, adds some fun distraction to their hospital stay and treatment and, lessens the sense of isolation and fear that a hospital admission often brings with it. Sunshine from Sunrise is just that – a burst of sunshine during the darkest times, bringing sighs of relief to parents and sounds of laughter from their children. It's so simple to schedule a visit; all you need to do is call us.

I can't believe it's been nine years today. I still miss you every day. I miss your smile and your laugh. Although, I swear I can hear it when I think of you. And I see you smile every time your grandson smiles. He's so beautiful. I wanna tell you something. You remember when you would put our Christmas toys on layaway and worry about getting them paid off in time? Well, because of you, a lot of folks don't have to worry about that this year. This would have made you so happy and proud. You taught me so much about compassion and giving. One of the things you loved to tell me was to give people their flowers while they're living. Because of that, I've never put flowers on your grave since you often told me that I gave you yours while you were alive. That's the only thing that gives me comfort today, as my heart hurts and my soul aches. But even though I'm sad, I'm still so grateful that God gave me 40 years with you on this planet. I would have gladly taken 40 more, but I know your 64 year old body was letting you down. You were so young, but amen. God has spoken. I thank God for your life and who you are and were to me. I love you so much Maxine Perry. Thank you for all you endured to love and protect me, so much so, that every now and then you show up in my dreams to remind me of that love. It's been nine years, and I'm just starting to think that I'm gonna be OK. Thank you mamma. Thank you.

Driving Zone is a new Android and iOS driving game by AveCreation, that boasts of stunning graphics, but a distinctively more casual, less in-depth feel than other titles in its genre. There are only nine cars to choose from, each of them different in terms of their design and performance, and four different tracks with different terrain and weather conditions. Indeed, it looks like AveCreation wants to keep things simple, as this game can arguably serve as a good starter for those who are new to driving games. Still, it's very realistic, and there's enough variety for anyone to enjoy – you can choose from sports cars, American muscle cars, or SUVs, all based on real-life vehicles, and experience winter and hot desert settings alike.
Although, this is definitely a different type of racing game from the likes of Need for Speed, CSR, and more, with an endless mechanic included, there are a few things you need to keep in mind if you want to go as far as possible. We're here to tell you about those things, with this list of Driving Zone tips and tricks.
1. Drive Off Road For More Coins
You can earn coins in this game based on the distance you go. And there is technically no limit to the number of coins you can earn – remember, this is an endless game! So how can you extend your run and earn more coins? Here's a trick you can try – driving off road. That's going to slow down your vehicle considerably, but you won't lose a heart if you bump into any object. Bumping another car costs you one heart, which means driving in the desert much safer than it is to drive on the road like you normally would.
2. Change The Settings To Your Liking
Driving Zone comes with its share of customization options, which you can tweak to your liking on the track select screen. You can adjust traffic density, with low traffic ideal if you want to go as fast as possible with a lower chance of hitting people or other cars. There's a bit of a bug here, where the cars merge into each other; ignore that bug, and take advantage of the light traffic. Additionally, you can choose the time of day, opting for day or night driving, depending on what you prefer.
3. How To Customize Your Car
Typically, racing games allow you to upgrade your car or add features to it as you earn more money. There are, however, some neat customization options in this game that go beyond the usual racing game features. For example, you can add ABS and traction control to add some safety features and make things easier for you as you drive, or remove those features if you want to try something more difficult. You can also choose to make your car front, rear, or all-wheel drive.
4. Small Cars Are Better For Long Distances
Based on our observations, small cars are better to use than larger ones or SUVs when it comes to traveling longer distances. You can probably go farther when driving an SUV or any large vehicle by hitting the camera button and allowing you to see your vehicle from outside, instead of a driver's point of view. But small cars tend to be better to maneuver, as opposed to SUVs, which can be as clumsy to drive as they are large.
That's it for now, as far as our Driving Zone tips and tricks are concerned. In case we discover some more hints for the game, we will share them here, so stay tuned!

In order to help run the rule over United's younger players, we enlisted the help of Doron Salomon, a regular youth-game watcher, to pass on some comments about the next generation of United talent. You can also find more of Doron's work on Stretford End.
If you missed the first instalment of this series, you can find the full list of our top Manchester United youngsters here.
7. Angelo Henriquez
Although we saw little of Henriquez last season, we did get to see a few glimpses of him for Chile at the Under-20 World Cup, where he was sadly often shunted out on the wing, where he was less effective. Nonetheless, Henriquez has a deserved reputation as an all-round forward, with few real weaknesses in his position. Despite not being the tallest, he has a good leap on him, similar to Javier Hernandez, and can score plenty of types of goals.
Another loan this year, perhaps to Zaragoza, is probably in the works, and it should help us gain a better understanding of what sort of player he is. Our riches in the forward positions mean that another loan or two will probably be in the works before he gets a chance at Old Trafford, barring a surprisingly rapid development or the unforeseen loss of one of our current strikers. He may be in a position we're well-stocked in, but make no mistake that United have a hugely talented young player on their books here.
Doron: Fans' perception of him may be somewhat blurred by his loan at Wigan last season. Granted, that he was seldom used from the bench says something but Wigan's staff had nothing but positive things to say about him - notably his attitude in training and his desire to learn in order to become a better player. He himself says he's much the better for the experience at Wigan.
Although small, he's a light-footed, intelligent forward. Angelo has plenty of attributes that make him stand out: positioning, movement, intelligence and ultimately his finishing. He can play through the middle and be used from wide areas whilst still being a goal threat. For Chile across the various ages he has 26 caps and 27 goals - this is a talented player but he may have to be patient for his chance at United. A loan, potentially to Zaragoza could be good use of next season.
8. Will Keane
Will Keane, the brother of Michael, is a hugely talented forward who was pencilled in for a spot in the first-team last season before a terrible injury cruelly cut his chances short. Despite that, attitude, support and United's good recent record at helping youngsters such as Adnan Januzaj over bad injuries mean that shouldn't be reason to be too negative about his chances of progressing.
A supremely gifted technical forward, who has drawn comparisons with Teddy Sheringham due to his excellent link-up play, although United have plenty of talented forwards there is reason to believe that Keane could break into the first team before too long..
We all know about Will's prowess because his goals for United's U18s and Reserves have been well-documented over the last few years. He's a striker with similarities to Sheringham in terms of control, timing, finishing, incisiveness and all-round ability to contribute. On the verge of making the first team, he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury whilst on international duty with England a year ago and hasn't played since.
The club have been understandably cautious with regards to any return to action and rather than rush him back for the end of last season, he was put on specific strengthening schedules including going to the Dallas Cup as a non-playing member of staff earlier in the year. Now, nearly back in full training properly, the club hope he'll feature in an U21 pre-season friendly before being eased back into competitive football. In the time out he's been working hard to bulk up and strengthen his body where possible. It's hard to know what he can achieve going forwards given the time out but like his twin brother, Michael, he has a fabulous attitude and a great support team behind him so don't be amazed if he's back to his normal self before long.

Sale of the Week: A $1.5-million Annex semi that previously sold for less than $300K
Address: 245 Major Street
Neighbourhood: The Annex
Agent: Sheree Cerqua, RE/MAX Ultimate Realty Inc, Brokerage
Previously sold for: $287,500, in 1998
The property
A four-bedroom semi near Bloor and Spadina with laneway parking.
The history
The sellers, both editors, bought the home more than 20 years ago for less than $300,000. They completed a number of renovations within the last six months to prepare the home for sale, including a built-in closet system, a new kitchen, new flooring throughout, as well as a fresh baby-blue exterior paint job. They have decided to downsize as they prepare to retire.
The entrance has a tiny foyer:
It leads to the living room:
Which is right next to the dining room:
There's a separate eating area in the kitchen, as well:
Here's one of the bedrooms:
And another:
This is the master bedroom:
It has a new built-in closet:
The attic is finished:
And it even has its own rooftop deck:
The backyard is all ready for summer entertaining:
The fate
The buyers are a young family. The Annex location is a short commute away from their jobs downtown.
The sale
The sellers were encouraged to complete the kitchen and flooring renovations, without which the listing price likely would have been about $250,000 lower, according to their agent. Though some homes will be priced below market value in efforts to attract multiple offers, the sellers decided against that practice to ensure an attractive result as they head into retirement. Over eight days on the market, there were over 40 showings but just one offer.
By the numbers
• $1,499,000
• $5,745 in taxes (approximately)
• 2,400 square feet (including the basement)
• 8 days on MLS
• 3 bathrooms
• 4 bedrooms
• 1 parking spaces

de Soysa, Indra; Jennifer L. Bailey & Eric Neumayer (2009) Free to Squander? Democracy and Sustainable Development, 1975–2000, in Global Environmental Change and Human Security. Cambridge: (261–290).
In recent years, scholars in international relations and other fields have begun to conceive of security more broadly, moving away from a state-centered concept of national security toward the idea of human security, which emphasizes the individual and human well-being. Viewing global environmental change through the lens of human security connects such problems as melting ice caps and carbon emissions to poverty, vulnerability, equity, and conflict. This book examines the complex social, health, and economic consequences of environmental change across the globe.In chapters that are both academically rigorous and policy relevant, the book discusses the connections of global environmental change to urban poverty, natural disasters (with a case study of Hurricane Katrina), violent conflict (with a study of the decade-long Nepalese civil war), population, gender, and development. The book makes clear the inadequacy of traditional understandings of security and shows how global environmental change is raising new, unavoidable questions of human insecurity, conflict, cooperation, and sustainable development.

The following article is Art McDonald's reflection of his recent experience walking the 50-Mile Kennedy Walk. The article is appeared in a 2014 issue of Mensa Magazine. Art's from Rock Hill, South Carolina and a member of the Washington DC FreeWalkers. Walk on, Art!
On February 9, 1963, Robert Kennedy answered the fitness challenge that President Kennedy had issued to Americans during that "can do" time. He, like thousands of other Americans, walked fifty miles.
Fifty-one years (almost to the day) later, I joined thirty other members of the Free Walkers, a social network for individuals who participate in distance walking events, for the second annual reenacting of Robert Kennedy's walk. We took the identical path Kennedy hiked, going along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Tow Path from Great Falls, Maryland to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
It was a marvelous day. The scenery by the Path, especially the Potomac River, was beautiful and the 35 degree, windless weather was pleasant. For the first twenty-five miles. Then I began to notice there was snow on the ground that one had to walk carefully over or around. There was little sunshine. The scenery became less interesting. The near-freezing temperatures were unpleasant. Fallen trees, once a curiosity, turned into obstacles to step around. Stepping over loose branches felt like climbing over small fences. Every mile seemed uphill. "Only forty miles left," said jokingly, became "Don't tell me we still have twenty-two miles to go."
My brain was miles from the Mensa level. Thinking more of a 1960s song than of an abolitionist's quixotic mission, I kept calling our destination "Harper Valley." The names of the rest stops were forgotten. At one rest stop, I, who have never sang in pubs, much less in public, broke into a version of "The Weight." Our leader, who no doubt was also feeling "half past dead," and I sang alternate lines.
Like most of our group, I completed the walk. My time of just under eighteen hours was a bit slower than Kennedy's 1963 time. He was twenty-three years younger than I am now, but that is offset by the fact he hiked in dress shoes. In endurance events, comparisons are far less relevant than finishing. Kennedy and I each walked fifty miles. That is all that matters.
So why accept extreme physical feats? Other than the historical aspect, why did I walk fifty miles?
It is about challenges. As President Kennedy said in explaining why we chose to go to the moon, life is about doing things "not because they are easy, but because they are hard." It is beyond hard to ignore every muscle in one's aging body and every part of one's tired brain as they scream, "Quit!"
As it became darker and the mile markers seemed to get farther apart, and I got nearer the almost total exhaustion I would feel at the finish, the urge to quit became overwhelming. You fight it by thinking in terms of taking one more step or of making it to a point ten yards ahead and hope you do not wind up like one participant who became disoriented. I came close to quitting after about thirty-five miles, where, I later learned, the last of Kennedy's hiking companions had dropped out.
One of my favorite quotes about Robert Kennedy is that "he refused to believe that there were things he could not do." That quote pushed me on. I knew the discomfort would go away, but the knowledge that I had quit would not. And so, with blistered feet, horribly sore legs, a queasy stomach, bowels that threatened independence and a mind that was moving from blank to disoriented, I carried on.
Walking fifty miles is about setting an example for my sons and nephews, decades before it is needed. I hope that when they are my age (sixty), they will remember what I did.
It is about fully exploiting the time we have. I do not want to use the gift I received that close friends who have died did not, a longer life, to talk about how great things once were. We should challenge ourselves daily and live in the present and for the future. People decades younger than I am are interested in my 2014 walk, not in some 1984 event that involves explaining what Lotus 1-2-3 was.
It is about being healthy. A slightly misspelt version of "Mensa" is in the expression mens sana in corpore sano. When you are in shape, every activity is more enjoyable. You can walk for miles in a new city, or play with your children for hours. You have mental energy. You have more stamina for every activity.
Ultimately, though, walking fifty miles is learning that you can pay the price for achievement. I am proud to have had the discipline to prepare for this challenge and to have completed the hike. I can say that I have at least one exceptional thing in common with Robert Kennedy, a man I admire greatly. The pain has gone away; this pride will last as long as I live.

Harold Bahr began serving in the Alaska Territorial Guard (ATG) in Nome, Alaska during World War II in 1942 when he was just eleven years old. ATG members were often men and boys too old or young to be drafted, who volunteered to be the first line of defense for Alaska.
In his Veteran Spotlight interview, Harold recalls sitting in his uncle's attic as a boy in Nome, hoping the Japanese planes flying overhead would get low enough so he could shoot at them. Harold continued to watch for Japanese ships and planes until 1945.
Harold's service to the country continued in 1951 when he was only enough to enlist in the US Navy and served on an ammunition ship during the Korean War.

A Fireside Chat, April 18, 2015
A Fireside Chat with Zany Mystic (Lance White) with guest, Chris Kehler
Guest, Chris Kehler
Chris Kehler is a quantum energy practitioner/healer who specializes in finding the trouble areas in the body and the stressors within that area by using the pendulum and chart method of dowsing.
After working 30 years in the printing & newspaper industry, Chris retired in 2007, a door opened for Chris which would lead him into the world of energy healing. Realizing that his intuitive nature was more than just coincidence, Chris began taking courses in many different modalities. To his credit, Chris has found great success and certification in Dowsing (pendulum), Radionics, Healing with metaphysical tools, Quantum Touch, Muscle testing (applied kinesiology), Foot bath detox and Live blood analysis.
Chris has learned very quickly that when working with universal energies, one must think not just outside the box, but WAY outside the box. By this we mean that all possibilities need to be considered when working with a person's ill health. Not only are things like virus's and infections tested for, but, also "off the wall" possibilities like: entities, aliens, demons, karmic debt and how well your body is grounded to the earth are considered.
After the problem area and stressors have been located, the "frequencies" of the stressors can be neutralized with the use of Krystaline metaphysical tools and Radionics. With this protocol, it is possible for pains and ailments to be alleviated within a short period of time.
Chris's work has become a worldwide phenomenon in energetic and remote-distance healing as he works with anyone and everyone in the entire world via Skype and telephone, which has gained him and his clinic worldwide notoriety.
A Fireside Chat
The focus of these inter-connected shows spanning 8 plus years is the practical and metaphysical application of ancient wisdom and future technologies.
The shift into 'new dimensions' is instant and already is... visionaries have paved 'the way'. Let's unite as a unified quantum field of Consciousness, Light and profound Joy.

An Affordable Winter Outfit
After the holiday spending, it can be hard to spend money on yourself. (Except on Valentine's day. Read my gift guide here.) However, I find myself shopping major sales or going to cheaper retailers. Personally, I don't see any issue with this. I love looking presentable and cute, and this outfit allows me to do it on a budget! I found this adorable and affordable winter outfit at retailers that are easy for everyone to shop at.
There are certain stores you can shop at on a budget.
A few of my favorites are Old Navy, H&M, and Nordstrom Rack.
Old Navy
Old Navy always has great basics for amazing prices. These can be basic tees, dresses, or jeans. They are normally in neutral colors or patterns.
H&M can be a hit or miss, but I think they have great prices on sweaters and cardigans. Cardigans can be upwards of $50 sometimes and I have found some amazing ones at H&M for under $30! This sweater in the post is one of those.
Nordstrom Rack
This is my go-to for athletic wear. I have been getting all of my gym shoes, leggings, and work out tops here. The everyday wear at Nordstrom Rack is great too, but sometimes you have to check prices because it can still be expensive.
What I am Wearing
This outfit is my ideal affordable winter outfit. The jeans are from Old Navy and the sweater is from H&M. I do have some more expensive staples like my bag and sunglasses, but those pieces are classic and timeless.
Shop My Affordable Winter Outfit
Things to Not Spend Money On
- Trendy Sweaters
- Jeans
- Trendy Tops
- Statement Jewelry
All of these things will go out of style and you will be mad you spent so much money on them.
My sweater and ripped jeans in the pictures are a little more trendy so I was happy I didn't break the bank and they are affordable winter outfit options. Whereas my bag and sunglasses I know I will have for a very long time! Sometimes you just gotta give and take and view your closet as an investment.
If you guys liked this post, please be sure to comment and tell me where you like to shop on a budget, like this post, or better yet, SHARE it with your friends. Thank you so much for following Classically Clad. I have so much love for all of you.
P.S. My photos were shot by an amazing photographer named Rori. She is a Chicago photographer that you should check out.
