Something incredible happens when like-minded women come from around the world and share the experience of connectedness for an entire week. That's connecting to your true self, connecting with nature, and connecting with other amazing women.
As solo travel increases in popularity, most of us will start the week as strangers. As intimidating as that may be at first, that feeling quickly dissipates and evolves into a feeling of comfort and belonging. After spending the week together focused on our health and wellbeing, sharing each other's journeys, our hopes and challenges in daily life, we discover a genuine appreciation for each other and suddenly gain a new group of best friends.
FabFitTravel was created to inspire women to connect! We travel and pursue adventure while practicing a healthy lifestyle. We intentionally keep the groups small, anywhere between 10-20 women per retreat. This helps create a very empowering environment, so you are free to be yourself, without judgement, gaining a sense of mental clarity and allowing you to develop life-long friendships.close

My sister gave me these lovely earrings for my birthday.
The only problem is they're a little heavy for my ears. Years ago, one of the hoops I was wearing stuck to my sweater. Ever since then, I've avoid earrings that pull my ear lobes down.
Here are the earrings before the transformation.
They don't look that heavy, but they are for me. I have issues.
I really liked the earrings, but I knew I wouldn't wear them unless I lighten their load.
I visualized how they would look if I removed the heaviest part: the oval mother-of-pearls. I liked what I saw.
I grabbed a pair of needle nose pliers I bought for my daughter and removed them.
It took about five seconds.
Voila! An easy and pretty transformation. I like the metal finish. There's a vintage feel to these droplets. Now they remind me of those earrings I love in Robert Redford's Sundance catalog.
Easy on the ear, too.
I'm not sure what I'll do with these two ovals, but y sister's birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks…

~~Major Spoilers~~
I just listened to the audio version of "The Host". Before I tell you what I thought of it, let me tell you what I thought of "Twilight" because they're by the same author.
"Twilight" had this way of bringing me in and driving me to finish the series. They're definitely y.a. but there's something very intriguing about them. I read them after a lot of my friends bugging me about reading them. I enjoyed them for oh about 2 months and then I was like this is not something I want to like anymore, or should I like anymore because I am getting my degree in English and I like me my challenging lit.
Now to "The Host". Ugh the love story is exactly like "Twilight". 2 men in love with "one" woman. Now in "The Host" it's a little different because the one woman is really the 2 in one, so it's a little different. I realize when you write a novel with love, it's sometimes a little hard to come up with something inventive. Maybe that's where the 2 in 1 woman came into play. But still as a "novelist" that has created books that are loved by many people create something new that will surprise them, not just use the same formula because you know that it will work. Duh anyone can tell you that. If some of your loyal fans don't like it maybe you'll just get a new fan. Wait is that a bad thing? No I don't think it is.
Now for the characters. I love ripping into characters. It's one of the things I live for.
Jared kind of annoys me. I mean yes the circumstances changed his personality and love knows no bounds but still, what does Mel see in him. He's all like "Oh Mel, I love you, but let me put your body in danger and not consider what you're going through. Oh yeah I'm going to kiss you now." At the beginning I was like Mel deserves him. But then wasn't sure anymore at the end. But I do admire how he is a planner and can make a plan or a decision on a moments notice.
Then there's Ian. He's the kind of guy I would go for. He's kind, he' strong, he's mighty mouse. I mean really good, big guy. I have no problems with Ian. The whole book I was rooting for Ian, why, because Jared's a jerk. He's a jerk, I can't help it. But Ian's nice. A name of an "Outlander" character. I was drawn to him. But then Jared is too. But you see more of Ian or of one Ian because there's two.
Jamie. Now with my affection for "Outlander" I was prepared to love him because of Jamie Fraser. But there was no strong love for Jamie. It was more like "my God kid, you're old enough not to cry every other second about almost everything".
Mel/Wanderer. I don't know I thought they were both a little annoying at times. I get that you love Jared and you have the hots for Ian (I could have the hots for Ian, but since I wasn't crazy about the book,it was ruined), but you could be killed and where will those feelings get you? That's right absolutely no where. I would rather stay alive than be killed by the man I love. But then I'm chronically single. But with that, I know you could die and that horrible for you but still, suck it up, figure out something to do to prevent that instead of going to go shower without a guard or start to trust that Kyle (The bad guy) would keep his word.
I was pleased that Kyle got his own in the end. Oh it was entertaining to find out that he had started to feel something for the parasite.
The other characters I could live with because they're characters thrown in to make it a tad more interesting. So I really could live with them.
I won't obsess about this book, maybe on the fact how I will never read it or listen to it again. Other than that I really don't care.

As we continued our explorations along the cliff face, in the distance we saw the flatbed tow heading west on the main road out to the scene of the fire. We'd keep an eye out for its return to see what it hauled back to town.
Earlier the cliffs had been alive with the sounds of rock doves heavy into courtship rituals. With the see mores we watched the beginnings of this season's nest sites on the cliffs. So did a pair of ravens, putting to memory the location of nests to raid later in the year. We also noticed three owl nests high up in the cliffs after a barn owl flew overhead.
The base of the cliff was littered with owl pellets. Small rodent skulls were everywhere.
We also noticed the complex geology of the rock underlying the tufa.
We returned to the truck near dark. There had been so much to see and we also couldn't help but think what other magic we may have missed. It had been a good day indeed, well except for that sad column of black smoke. The flatbed returned to town in the fading light. The binoculars revealed it was the SUV. There wasn't much left except for the body outline. The aluminum rims were even gone. The fire had been hot. With no appearance of a medic unit, we are going to assume the driver was safe and probably the first one to call in the fire, at least we hope so. Your guess is as good as ours as to how it happened.
We have now spent several hundreds of nights in the backcountry with our camper. It may sound like a cliché, but this one was one of the best. We had this sunset as we enjoyed dinner outside.
The night air was filled with the sound of owls - the classic hoot of the great horned and the interesting clicks of barn owls. Choruses of coyotes erupted on the flats below. The temperature was surprisingly, shockingly warm, at 62°. A gentle wind added a nice hint of cool. We sat for the longest time in our chairs, listening, savoring the quiet sounds of the night. It is rare we see city lights from our campsites but Lovelock was about 10 miles to the north.
To the northwest, along Interstate 80 was the small airport, Derby Field. We watched its rotating beacon light.
This was also a special anniversary for the ski3pins, OFK. Our first kiss was 32 years ago.
We slept with the windows open. The overnight low was 54°. A week before, when we stayed about 30 miles to the north of here, it had dropped down to 22°.
If you make the effort to get all the way out to a place like this, it would be a shame to miss a Sunday morning sunrise.
It took a bit of work because the Humboldt Sink was in the way along with all the irrigated farm land, but we made our way around to Derby Field.
If you remember the information I posted on our first trip out to find the early air mail beacon sites, beacons were placed approximately every 10 miles (we have discovered much closer in mountainous terrain) and emergency landing fields every 30 miles. The county owned Derby Field got its start as one of those fields.
And back to the theme - "What you find in the middle of nowhere" - how about a Soviet MiG - 15?
We'll let all you conspiracy theorists contemplate a secret Soviet cold war airbase out in the middle of Nevada. People enjoy believing even crazier ideas.
But we were here to see the beacon, Beacon 26.
It is still in place and still works. The flashing beacon we watched last night is one of the original Transcontinental Air Mail Route Beacons. Pretty darn cool.
How many of you noticed the great horned owl nest? We did, and kept our distance, and did not disturb.
We knew that about 12 miles southwest of Derby Field was an important spot on the California Trail. We made our way along an abandoned section of old Highway 40 along side its replacement, Interstate 80. We found an old spur road, access for repairs on the transcontinental railroad. We found a tunnel under the railway we could walk through. From here it was about a half mile down the route of the old California Trail.
This is where the trails split. The Truckee Route headed west to intersect the Truckee River and then up and over Donner Pass. The much heavier used Carson Route headed to the southwest to intersect with the Carson River and then up and over Carson Pass and then the even higher West Pass. It is cool to find these spots and attempt in some small way to touch history.
It was time to start heading home. We back tracked several miles and got onto Interstate 80, a sad necessity for us. On the east side of Fernley we took the Nevada Pacific Blvd exit. The area just to the south of the Interstate was the site of Fernley Intermediate Field. This new interchange and the development of the nearby industrial center has removed all traces of Beacon 22. Well, not quite all. Taking a look around we found this old rusted paint bucket, obviously classic Aviation Orange.
I have a suspicion that the beacon may have been moved to Tiger Field just to the south of Fernley along Alternate 95. Except for the more modern rotating light on top, everything else looks right.
We had one more air mail beacon to find. This one is hiding in plain sight. It can be seen from most places in Fernley. I expect very few people even notice it or have any idea about its history. With the housing development around Fernley, it took work figuring out access and a route up the hill. We were able to park about a half mile way. We climbed the steep hillside and the prize was ours, Beacon 216.
This was an acetylene gas lighted beacon, very similar to the beacon we found out in Pleasant Valley last weekend. Being so close to civilization, it is surprising how much is left intact.
The old clip for paperwork was still intact inside the lower shed portion.
Much of the corrugated metal siding is gone.
But on this lee side, the numbering is still visible.
On the windward side exposed to the predominate storm winds, the paint is almost completely removed by the elements. But look close, you can make out the numbers 216.
So that was our weekend, a quick getaway. History, geology, wildlife, adventure - Nevada delivers!
As a note, if you are interested in more information on these Transcontinental Air Mail Route Beacons, I have provided several links in our Buena Vista Valley, Nevada story.
And, if by chance readers in the Reno or Interstate 80 corridor through the Sierra Nevada area have interest in finding beacon sites, take a look at Google Earth. It helps if you have skied at Donner Ski Ranch. Zoom in on the top of the hill with the lift tower. You should see a concrete arrow, the site of Beacon 15.

The capture of the Gaza-bound Iranian arms shipment by the IDF will not go unnoticed in the Islamic Republic, and is likely to strain relations between the moderates and conservatives vying for power in Tehran.
A senior IDF source explained that the IDF's Red Sea raid on the Klos C early Wednesday will further exacerbate the political conflict between moderate Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and hardliner Qasem Soleimani, who is the commander of the elite Quds Force, a division of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
See IDF animation explaining raid
"It is safe to assume," the IDF source explained, "that an in-depth investigation into Operation Full Disclosure is well underway in the Revolutionary Guard." "Rouhani does not like such things," the military source said in reference to the attempt to transfer arms to the Gaza Strip, and thus, he explained, Rouhani "is trying to distance the Revolutionary Guard from decision-making positions."
Nonetheless, despite internal Iranian strife, the IDF does not believe that the Islamic republic will pull back attempts to arm terrorist groups in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
A senior official with the IDF Intelligence attempted to put the event into context, and explained that the Revolutionary Guard is walking a tightrope between preserving political stability within Iran and exporting its political agenda abroad. "The Revolutionary Guard and the Iranian army are working together towards two goals: Internally, they are working to maintain the Ayatollah's regime. Externally, they are working to spread the 'revolution' throughout the world – from the Mideast, through Africa, South America, Afghanistan and Iraq. The latter is undertaken by the Quds Force, led by Soleimani."
The elite Quds Force was founded in 1990, and spearheaded Iran's overseas activities. The force is actively involved in covert operations against the US, Israel and pro-Western Arab states with the help of Iran's proxies like Hezbollah, while working to cover their tracks. The attempt to transfer the advanced M-302 missiles to Gaza exemplified this mode of operation: The rockets were brought in from Syria, transferred on a ship traveling under Panama's flag and then, before beginning the journey to Gaza, made a stop in Iraq where they were further concealed in boxes marked as cement. Needless to say, the ship's official final destination – Port Sudan – was also an attempt to hide the weapons' true target – Gaza – which the shipment was supposed to reach via trucks. Soleimani, who rarely makes public appearances or statements, is considered part of Iran's spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's inner circle and has led the force since 1998. Since he took the reigns, the Quds Force has grown from an elite unit numbering a few thousand of troops to a massive operation branch. Its men are placed in Iranian diplomatic missions around the world. The forces are also placed among NGOs as well as religious and educational facilities run by Iran. The unit charged with international operations is called Special Operations Unit 400, and it answers directly to Soleimani and Khamenei.
Climbing ladders, no resistance
The IDF stopping the smuggling attempt also affected the organization that rules the Gaza Strip.
"Hamas is still in a bind and is carefully checking the mood in Iran, but is also being careful because reconnecting with Tehran would worsen their ties with Cairo further," the Israeli security sources. In the Intelligence Corps this operation is one of dozens of operations or "mini-campaigns," that are underway at almost any given moment, against the spreading of Iranian terrorism, and against attempts to smuggle weapons through air, sea or land. Some of these campaigns work to stop or stall the Iranian nuclear program. IDF Intelligence chief Gen. Aviv Kochavi refused, as expected, to give away the intelligence tip that started Operation Full Disclosure, but hinted that "the rockets' transfer in planes from Damascus to Tehran sparked the process." He stressed that "we have strong evidence that strengthens Iran's ties to the case and incriminates it. Iran's Revolutionary Guard and its Quds Force ran the smuggling operation." IDF Intelligence estimates that the Iranians will not try to avenge the thwarting of the smuggling attempt, but it is definitely safe to assume that they will have an in-depth investigation into the failed operation and learn the lessons ahead of future smuggling attempts. Additional details of the takeover were released by the IDF Thursday. A senior Navy official said the ship's Turkish captain was surprised to receive a call on the ship's radio from the Israeli Navy commandos, who asked him to stop the boat and told him they intended to board the ship. "It took him a few minutes to response, but when he was standing on the bridge, looking left and right and seeing two missile boats standing by with more boats filled with commandos ready to go, he gave us permission to come aboard," the official said.
"We quickly made it clear to him that we were not pirates and that we belong to the Israeli Defense Force and want to search his ship," he said.
"We started searching through some of the containers that were crowded in the belly of the ship, which forced us to open the containers from the side by sawing through them. When we moved the bags of cement away and opened the boxes that contained the rockets, we brought the captain down there and only then did he realize he was fooled," the official continued. "At this point he described the ship's entire course so far in Turkish and in English and realized he had become a victim of an Iranian conspiracy."
The official noted the captain and his crew did not protest the Navy's search, "because they saw the kind of military might that was around them, among other reasons."
"At the same time, we held a maneuver in the area, where many trading boats pass, in order to make it clear that we do not intend to attack them as well," he added.

By Tim Redmond : 48hills – excerpt
The law-enforcement lobby may be discredited, but it still apparently has some clout in San Francisco
There was a strange moment at the Board of Supervisors today that shows just how powerful even the discredited law-enforcement lobby can be.
The supes were considering a resolution endorsing a bill by Sup. Mark Leno that would mandate more police accountability. These things are usually pretty routine, and get put at the end of the meeting: It's rare that any resolution supporting a measure by one of our local representatives gets anything but unanimous support…
But that wasn't the case today – and the supe who tried to derail the resolution was Scott Wiener, who has been a close Leno ally and whom Leno has endorsed to replace him in the state Senate…
Leno has done so much for Wiener, helped him get elected supervisor, helped him with his state Senate campaign, and there are very few times I can remember when Wiener hasn't supported something Leno was doing.
In this case, it's a really important measure that would have an impact on the rash of police misconduct. As Sup. David Campos noted, "this is actually a pretty mild piece of legislation."
But Wiener couldn't bring himself to support the bill. So instead, he tried a parliamentary trick: He asked that the supes resolution be divided into two measures, one that simply commended Leno for taking on the issue, and another that actually endorsed the bill…
So Wiener in effect tried to undermine a key piece of legislation his mentor and ally is working hard to pass, against sustained law-enforcement opposition. This, I suspect, will be an issue in the state Senate campaign… (more)
This is a puzzle. Leno's bill is meant to shine a light on police misconduct that makes San Francisco citizens extremely nervous and afraid of working with the police.

Game DayBy
Not being a huge sports fan, I have to say… I'm still not a huge fan. But I love taking pictures. We had friends fly in from other states and even other countries this weekend for the game. I just tagged along with a Nikon in one hand and a ice chest in the other. I have to admit, I did have a lot of fun though! Once we finally made it to our seats I was concerned with how far we were from the action, at least 100-150 yards from the field. Not because I wanted to watch the game, but because I wanted to get some great pictures. I had raider fans and frog fans all around me, I wasn't sure what to think, or when a fight may break out. Regardless, everyone was well behaved and the game ended up being very close and exciting. In the end TCU lost 53 to 56. Here are a few pictures from the game. Enjoy.

In my new cookbook, Fix It and Enjoy It! Healthy Cookbook, I found a recipe for turkey meatballs. They sounded so easy, and any time everyone's willing to eat poultry instead of red meat, I'm a happy camper. This recipe didn't disappoint, they were moist and tasty and the recipe made a bunch!
1 lb. extra lean turkey sausage (I used Jennie-o patties and broke them up)
2 lbs. extra lean ground turkey
3 egg whites
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, minced
1 cup bread crumbs (I used Progresso Italian)
1 small can evaporated fat free milk
1 1/2 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. ground pepper
Mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Form into balls. (I used a 1-1 1/2″ cookie dough scoop to make the balls and it made probably 40 meatballs.). Place on broiler pan (I used a cookie sheet) and bake at 400* for 15 minutes. Cut into center of meatballs to make sure they're cooked through. If not, bake for another 10 minutes or so. Use immediately or freeze for spaghetti and meatballs. Or bake at 350* for 30 minutes in baking dish with low sodium mushroom or celery soup. Or heat with tomato sauce and make meatball sandwiches.
I served them with Barilla veggie spaghetti noodles and Newman's Own Organic Marinara sauce. I'm going to make meatball subs tomorrow! Have a great weekend everyone!

Etsy, Inc. (ETSY) operates a niche business that lacks the market breadth, scale and resources to effectively compete against well-established e-commerce giants. The future profit expectations embedded in the stock price exceed what the company can reasonably be expected to achieve. Further, the company's enterprise value exceeds what a potential buyer could reasonably be expected to pay for the business.
ETSY Background
Etsy Inc. (ETSY), a global e-commerce platform for handmade artisan goods, was 2015's worst performing IPO. ETSY priced at $16/share, quickly rose to $31/share, and then dropped sharply to end the year at $8/share. The stock has traded like a "tech start-up" at some points and a "retailer" at others. ETSY has also received a reputation as a playground for profligate Brooklyn bohemians not focused on creating shareholder value.
In May 2017, ETSY changed CEOs and took a hatchet to the workforce. The changes sparked investor optimism that ETSY can boost profitability by reining in expenses without negatively impacting already slowing revenue growth. ETSY has also drawn activist investors, at least one of which intends to push for a sale of the company. Due to these events, rather than fundamentals, ETSY is once again trading near its IPO price.
Growth is Clearly Slowing
ETSY's revenue has grown 39% compounded annually since 2013 and grew 33% in 2016. In February 2017, the company guided to 20-22% revenue growth and 15-17% gross merchandise sales (GMS) growth in 2017. In early August, guidance was lowered to 18-20% revenue growth and 12-14% GMS growth.
Per Figure 1, revenue grew 19% and GMS grew 12% in 2Q17 vs. 2Q16. 2Q17 growth was roughly half as strong as the growth experienced in 2Q16, when revenue grew 39% and GMS grew 23% compared to 2Q15. Notably, 2Q16 growth reflected a minimal slowdown compared to the 44% revenue growth and 25% GMS growth experienced in 2Q15 vs. 2Q14.
Figure 1: ETSY's Growth in Revenue, Merchandise Sales and Active Sellers
Profits Have Been Meager to Date
ETSY generated a cumulative $5 million of after-tax profits (NOPAT) from 2013-2015 while earning an average NOPAT margin of 1%. ETSY experienced its most profitable year in 2016 with NOPAT of $19 million. This profit increase was driven by an improvement in NOPAT margin to 5% in 2016 from 1% in 2015.
More recently, this progress has been reversed due to increased competition and lack of expense discipline. Expense growth began accelerating in 2H16, just as the revenue growth slowdown took hold. This expense growth drove a decline in NOPAT margin to -1% and a $4 million operating loss over the trailing twelve months (TTM), per Figure 2.
Figure 2: NOPAT and Economic Profits vs. GAAP Net Income
Further, negative free cash flow (FCF) totaled -$63 million TTM vs. -$43 million for all of 2016. In addition to lower NOPAT, the TTM period includes a 33% increase in invested capital. Since 2013, ETSY has burned a cumulative $213 million of FCF (11% of market cap). The company's $282 million in cash currently on the books would only support the TTM cash burn rate for another four years.
Poor Return on Invested Capital
ETSY's return on invested capital (ROIC) has averaged 3% over the past three years, while the current (TTM) ROIC of -2% is in the bottom quintile of my firm's coverage universe. The TTM loss could be short lived due to the new-found focus on profitability. However, for ETSY to earn an adequate ROIC above the cost of capital, the company would need to earn a 7% NOPAT margin on current revenue without growing invested capital.
ETSY has proven to be margin challenged, but balance sheet efficiency and capital turnover are relatively efficient compared to the Consumer Discretionary sector as a whole. ETSY's ratio of revenue/invested capital, or capital turnover, is 1.6 compared to 0.9 for the Consumer Discretionary sector. This ratio has been trending lower, however, as invested capital growth has outstripped revenue growth over the past few years.
Executive Comp Aligned with Misleading Metrics
I know from numerous case studies that changes in ROIC are directly correlated to changes in market value. Accordingly, I favor compensation plans that use ROIC to measure performance to ensure executives' interests are aligned with shareholders' interests. Revenue and non-GAAP performance targets can be an incentive to sacrifice profitability for volume, or worse, engage in acquisitions that destroy shareholder value.
ETSY's executive compensation is structured as 20% base salary, 20% annual cash incentive and 60% long-term equity incentives. The weighting towards long-term incentives is the mechanism the board uses to align executives' interests with shareholders. However, the intent is offset by the use of revenue growth and "adjusted EBITDA" targets as the hurdles for short-term, variable incentive comp.
As shown in Figure 3, ETSY has managed to show a generally improving trend in adjusted EBITDA, while achieving no such consistent improvement in true profit measures such as NOPAT or FCF. Further, the company has generated cumulative economic losses of -$54 million since 2013, with the TTM performance being the worst period. Until the company aligns its compensation plans with financial goals that actually constitute profits, we are not optimistic that shareholder value destruction will come to an end on its own.
Figure 3: ETSY's Misleading Non-GAAP Metrics
Formidable Competition Forces Change
ETSY is the leader in an e-commerce market it largely created, but its first mover advantage is threatened by formidable competition. Ebay (EBAY) and Alibaba (BABA) are the more similar ecommerce platforms, but Amazon (AMZN) is ETSY's most dangerous competitor. AMZN launched "Handmade at Amazon" in October 2015 in direct competition with ETSY. About a year later, AMZN's presence began to impact ETSY's financials.
ETSY reacted by cutting over 20% of the workforce and making $35 million (annualized) of targeted cost reductions the focal point. I also expect the internal shift to cause cultural issues with the employee base. It was just last year that ETSY moved from a 106,000 square foot headquarters into a new two-building, 200,000 square foot headquarters that is reportedly among the most luxurious and celebrated in the world.
An abrupt growth slowdown followed by an expense reduction initiative is a sign that ETSY's niche platform is not a sustainable competitive advantage in the cutthroat world of e-commerce. This conclusion is supported by ETSY's poor margins relative to direct competitors and other similar business models. Per Figure 4 above, ETSY's -1% NOPAT margin (TTM) is well below EBAY, BABA, notoriously low-margin AMZN and a number of other e-commerce platforms that ETSY itself offers up as comps in its proxy statement.
I also find it telling that Michaels (MIK), an arts and crafts retailer with a brick-and-mortar footprint and almost no e-commerce presence, is able to generate results far superior to ETSY. On a TTM basis, MIK has earned a 10% NOPAT margin and 18% ROIC.
Figure 4: Competitive Advantage Not Apparent for ETSY
Countering the Bull Case
Aside from an activist investor forcing a sale at a premium price, the Bull Case for ETSY is based on expectations that the company can maintain a strong revenue growth trajectory while reining in expenses.
Expense initiatives will boost near-term financial performance, but few companies cut their way to prosperity. ETSY's strategy to offset slowing 'Marketplace' segment revenue has been to focus on developing new products in the 'Seller Services' segment. Seller Services has already been a major factor for some time, however. Seller Services accounted for 58% of total revenue in 2Q17 vs. 41% for Marketplace. Two years ago, the revenue split was nearly 50/50.
While growth in Seller Services has softened the slowdown in Marketplace growth, it is not sustainable longer term and has already begun to slow. Seller Services revenue grew 25% Y/Y in 2Q17, compared to 58% in 2Q16 and 79% in 2Q15. Ultimately, Seller Services revenue is tied back to growth in GMS and Active Sellers. ETSY can only consume so much of the Active Seller base's profits from the sale of goods with fees from Seller Services products, no matter how convenient and user-friendly they are.
The current growth trajectory being exhibited in GMS and Active Sellers is not supportive of the consensus outlook for ETSY to generate 18% revenue growth through 2018. Based on the ratio of GMS growth to revenue growth over the past year (1.5), a slowdown in GMS to 8-10% Y/Y implies 12-15% Y/Y revenue growth. Even assuming no slowdown, ETSY is already priced to perfection, as I'll show below.
High Expectations Embedded in Valuation
ETSY has risen 33% YTD and 14% over the last year to outperform the S&P 500. This performance has occurred despite NOPAT declining over the past few quarters, as well as forward revenue and EPS expectations being lower now than one year ago. This move in the stock has widened the chasm between the company's current financial performance and the significantly higher profits implied by the stock's market value.
To justify its current price of $16/share, ETSY must grow NOPAT by 10% compounded annually for over 50 years. This scenario assumes an immediate improvement in NOPAT margin to 10% (from -1% TTM) and compound annual revenue growth of 8%. In this scenario, ETSY would be over twice as large as EBAY with $21 billion of annual revenue. This scenario is not a bet I am inclined to make given the recent slowdown in revenue growth, ETSY's meager three-year average NOPAT margin of 1.4% and, most importantly, the deteriorating competitive position of the company.
Even if one assumes ETSY can grow NOPAT by 25% compounded annually for the next decade, the stock is still worth only $11 today – a 31% downside risk. This scenario assumes ETSY grows revenue to $1.2 billion in ten years from $396 million (TTM), or 12% compounded annually. This scenario also assumes ETSY gradually improves NOPAT margin to 15% over the next five years.

BLUF: Serfs aren't really people, so screw them.
Expect more of this kind of thing.
BLUF: Serfs aren't really people, so screw them.
Expect more of this kind of thing.
Why these imbeciles were ever given a lifetime tenure, is beyond me. They surely do believe that they possess magical powers, and don't even need to report to Voldemort. Be very careful when you open your front door-and yes, it should always always be locked.
I sort of see their point, except about the not having a warrant thing. What I would like to know is what happens if cops bust into a house and are on the losing side; would the home owner still be charged? Unfortunately this is up in the air, as results can range from charges dropped to seeking the death penalty.
I think the real take-away lesson here is to have a strong door that will hold up to a pounding longer than it takes you to get ready to shoot. Carried by 6 vs. judged by 12, and all that.
I truly hope to read of that happening sometime in the near future, fuck I would like to hear about the homeowners handing out justice every day. The thugs might get the message.
Alito did give an out for the case to be revisited. Per the original article Herschel quoted @ guns.com,
"The case is not over as Alito held that the lower court on remand should revisit the liability for damages under the warrantless entry claim, "based on the deputies' failure to secure a warrant at the outset."
To quote CA:
"Harden your hearts."
CB Addendum:
Harden your dwellings.
The SCROTUS has ruled that it's OK to kill little unborn babies and allow gay "marriage" so what's a few more bodies of serfs on the pyre of abomination at this point.
Psychopaths have always been attracted to police work. Power is as addictive as heroin, and for a psychopath, beating the crap out of someone (anyone) and/or murdering another human being, is an intense orgasmic rush that they can't find anywhere else. For these freaks the 20 year pension and qualified immunity is just the cherry on top. Police Departments try to weed out the real screwballs but two major problems are that psychopaths are very good at disguise (its part of the fun..) and they are very good at recognizing each other (dog whistle). When a department's leadership (including the union) is infiltrated by psychopaths they will change the culture to make it safer for themselves and their fellow travelers in mental illness. So now we see nationwide emphasis on 'no hesitation' shooting (summary execution) instead of de-escalation. Black uniforms. Shaved heads, tatoos (ugh..).
'There Be gods Many'
""For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)" (1 Corinthians 8:5)
What is Paul talking about when he says there are "gods many"?
He is not talking about spiritual creatures or statues of stone and wood. He is talking about the Ruling judges of men. Read the book The Covenants of the gods which is free online. Ask about it on the Living Network.
People today, who believe in a superior being that has brought about creation, use the term "god" to reference the creator of mankind. They believe that "god" is a religious term and of course it is, if you understand what the word Religion use to mean.
Jesus spoke of some revolutionary ideas that actually worked to set men free. To understand what he was talking about we may have to look at some of the terms of His day and how they have changed through the Sophistry of those who do not want you to understand the whole truth.
Jesus talks about Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other and the fathers of the earth. If we knew who these Benefactors, Fathers and gods were we might also know what Jesus meant by the "righteousness of God" which He tells us to seek.
Besides the New Testament we can see that in the Old Testament, ancient history, and even modern language the term "god" often referred to a man.
"And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for [am] I in the place of God?" (Genesis 50:19)
Here in Genesis, Joseph asks if he is in the place of God or a god? He had the power of judgment, but left that judgment to God the Father and forgave his brothers.
In the Old Testament, the words "gods" and "God" are both translated from the single Hebrew word elohiym, defined as "rulers, judges" and "applied as deference to magistrates" according to the Strong's Concordance."
In its entirety at:
This case is far from over. The entry appears to be unlawful, making any conduct inside unlawful. SCOTUS, is nudging 9th, to revisit the flaw, and readdress the real issue of warrantless entry.
Once that legal hurdle is addressed, these two retards who shot the shit out of these people will have a real issue.
Dosent change a thing. A large wad of cash will be offered and excepted. A non disclosure Claus will be signed and poof, everything's fixed.
And they shouldn't a been poor.
Livin' in box like that, and on the back 40 'n all. Shoulda happened sooner.
Next time they'll duck…
the lurker
The problem is going to be that dwelling. Its a shack on the back of a property and I am willing to bet it looked like a storage shed. The police were not aware it was being used as a dwelling. So did they get a warrant to search the main house and assumed that covered a storage shed on the property not aware that it was being used as a dwelling? That will probably be how it gets argued. I think there is some case law (CA ?) that says that even if this was "illegally" being used as a dwelling it would still be protected by the 4th. They will just argue that they didn't know it was a house so they went in. Slap on the wrist, probably settle for medical bills and some gravy. Stuff it to the tax payers and move on.
FTR, both of the last two LASO chiefs have been indicted.
That the department is institutionally corrupt isn't merely suspicion, it's documented fact over decades.
The two asswipes should be fired for gross stupidity. Probably not going to happen.
Indicted criminally for attempted murder, not so much.
Sued to poverty and forced to get jobs where they couldn't carry guns, I'd applaud.
Instead, the tax-paying suckers of L.A. County will get stiffed to pay the settlements. If they sit still for this, qui tacet consentire, silence gives consent.
And the takeaway is that hell yes, getting through your door should require tracked armored vehicles, or you're doing it wrong.
While they didn't deserve to get shot up based on circumstances, living in a storage shed behind a drug house probably wasn't a great plan, and I doubt they didn't have some idea of what was going on in the main house, all of which would come out in a civil trial, and still leave the cops on the hook, but mitigate the damages correctly based on mutual culpability. When you play hopscotch in a minefield, the blast is not all, or even mostly, the mine maker's fault.
And if this was a case overturning any one of fifty other cases in the Ninth Circus (the most-overturned circuit in the country), you all would be doing somersaults of glee.
The odds that the Supremes got this one right are automagically much higher than average, every time they visit one of the cases of alleged jurisprudence by the Ninth Circus. As Dirk said, note that they handed it back to the Ninth to re-visit, rather than dumping it outright.

Past Thanksgivings
November 23, 2010
Tags: hanging out with the family, my baby girl
I can't believe that Thanksgiving is just 2 days away and November is almost over. I remember Charla's first Thanksgiving. She was only 6 months old. We went to my cousin's house that year. I don't remember what time of day we arrived but dinner was running late and Charla was getting tired and overstimulated. After trying to settle her for an hour, Tim and I packed up and left. We hadn't even had a chance to eat! We came home and made frozen pizza. Charla had fallen asleep in the car on the ride home so of course was in a fabulous mood. I cried and cried. I was mad at Charla for being so fussy and mad at myself for failing as a parent.
Last year's Thanksgiving was much better. We had dinner at my grandparent's house that year. Charla was on one nap. We had a late lunch early dinner and then Charla slept for a couple of hours. She was in a good mood and by the end of the day was going by everyone.
I don't know what I'm expecting this year. Charla won't be having a nap. Even though she is still a good napper at home, there's no way I'm going to be able to get her to sleep with so much activity going on around her. This may mean we will be leaving early although this definitely won't be the first (or even second, third or fourth!) time she's went without a nap.
She knows all of our family members now but is still apprehensive about going by some of them. She gets overstimulated relatively easily but at the same time she knows how to be the life of the party and center of attention. If she initiates contact, she's fine. However, not all of my family members are patient enough to wait for her to come to them.
All in all, I hope it will be a fun and relaxing day. Holidays sure get easier the older your child gets!

Six years ago, Keith Horwood was known in his native Toronto as a former graduate student whod hacked into his schools student union election site, changing candidates titles for comic impact.( He was given whats called a conditional discharge after paying a fine and performing community service .)
He also determined that hed instead become known in tech circles as an agent for good, and he seems to be working toward that end withStdLib, his approximately two-year-old startup that abstracts away infrastructure utilizing serverless architecture, allowing developers to write everything from simple functions to complex business logic, then deploy their code as scalable, fully documented web APIs.
The idea: deliver web services and APIs is a complex problem, and plenty can go wrong between the birth of a business idea and the production implementation of a web service. StdLib is aiming to solve the problem by making it possible to deploy new updates that areuncoupled from a companys infrastructure.( This way, if things run awry with that new function or update, users and customers neednt know .)
The company has plenty of rivalry. Still, investors must think it has a chance at fighting through a growing field of upstarts.
StdLib first passed through the accelerator program AngelPad early last year; today, its announcing another$ 2 million in fresh seed funding led by BlueYard Capital, a Berlin- based venture firm focused largely on the democratization of software development.
Other investors in the round include Joe Montanas Liquid 2 Ventures; Aston Motes, who was Dropboxs first engineer; Michael Dabrowski, president of the biotechnology company Synthego; and the Nordic Makers Venture Group.
Horwood tells it wasnt easy breaking into the Silicon Valley scene several years ago, where he first moved to work at Storefront, a company that likens itself to an Airbnb of retail, renting out short-term commercial space.
After moving on to Synethego, an open-source project Horwood had been tinkering with on the side took off, and Polybit, the parent company behind StdLib, was born.But he needed help.
I was a solo founder; that was extremely difficult because I didnt have a network, he tells. I didnt go to a top-tier Ivy League school.
San Francisco, with its notoriously high cost of living, was a tough place to live at first, too. My first year here, I lived in a tiny, tiny room in a house full of five people that had no external windows, remembers Horwood. It was essentially a closet. But it was just $700 a month and I saved every penny.
When it came to attracting outside funding, Horwood supposed the ton of open source stuff that he had released into the world would help, but it didnt. It was hard to get initial proof that we have a vision its this new market that[ investors didnt] understand[ early last year] but where were at the forefront.
Horwood adds with a giggle that hes happy I underestimated how difficult it would be to build a company from the ground up.
Its still early days, of course. StdLib has just one other employee: co-founder, Jacob Lee, a Princeton Computer Science graduate who Horwood met at a hackathon early last year.( The two also work with two full-time contractors .)
Still, a little funding has understandably put a skip in Horwoods step. You have to find the right people, who really believe in you. He says he wouldnt be where he is today without the help in particular of AngelPad co-founder Thomas Korte. Hes very tough on startups, but when he believes in you, he helps you to believe in yourself.
Asked if he could have built StdLib back home in Toronto, Horwood says he thinks it would be possible, dedicated Torontos vibrant and growing tech scene.
Having transgressed through the first barriers to creating a startup, though, he isnt looking back. Maybe it voices corny, he says, but I wouldnt trade the experience of the last three years, of living here, of satisfying the people Ive met, for anything.

Free from myself,
From irony, from paradox
And all other nonsense.
I dream of me
As a naked soul
In search of
That tiny bit of truth residing in me
Still lost somewhere.
I dream of me
Flying high in the sky
Up above the trivial things in life
In my own happy world of freedom,
No wonder, these dreams don't come true
And whenever I think of them,
Oh my! They just make me sigh.
I dream of you
Calling my name
With warmth and affection and love
It makes me go paranoid
Coz I know it's a dream,
This is as true as it can get.
I dream of us
Discovering ourselves
And our innermost beauty
That we had hidden so well
I dream, I dream, I dream,
However, the dream fades away
By the blink of the eye.
And the second I open my eyes
And face reality
It slashes my heart in two.
And now I wanna go back to dreaming
And relishing its beauty
Of impossibility and imagination
But there remains this inadequacy
And nothing can be done now,
So I just have this little request:
Oh dream! Just come true already!

My a single luxurious was a hockey group that I performed for at the time weekly. A single night time I bought tripped likely into your corner to have the puck. I went down awkwardly and pulled a hammie. For 5 times, I couldn't stroll. And so for five times, I couldn't practice consumers and didn't generate income.
Self-directed training routines fail as a rule. What does this mean? You would like help to obtain true final results. With consistent Test-ins, accountability to your diet and exercise, and the full help within your coach you'll have the option finally get the effects you need.

A beauty review?! It's been a good while since I've done one. I know a lot of people either love or hate these types of posts but they're actually really fun for me to write. Let me know how you feel about reviews below so I know whether to do them or not in the future! Today I have a review of the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner. I believe I got it at Target for $3.99.
I picked it up on a whim because all my other liquid liners were hurting my eyes. This one has a felt tip and depending on how you hold it you can get either a really thin or thick line. At first I had a hard time with this because the formula is a little different to most eyeliners I have used. It draws on really easily so use a light hand! I find it really easy to control now and doing winged liner with this is a breeze! It is also waterproof (but not impossible to get off). It doesn't hurt my eyes as much as other liquid liners. And it stays on for quite a while without flaking! Also my eyeshadow doesn't transfer onto it (one of my pet peeves!). Overall I am really impressed but this liner and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good liner at a cheap price!

Along the way, audiences encounter dynamic talismans of the neighborhoods' past that ultimately provide them with clues - from an encounter with the ghost of a famed Victorian-era Brooklyn clairvoyant to stumbling upon an Arthur Miller-era Marilyn Monroe on the stoop of the gorgeous Willow Street home that was the site of their torrid love affair. Throughout the performance, audiences uncover some of Brooklyn's most notorious rogues and celebrated heroes, enlightened with the aid of a refreshing themed cocktail (complimentary with admission) from an exotic Henry Street restaurant, and simultaneously discover the hidden symbols that live within the architecture of Brooklyn Height's grand homes, magnificent churches, and promenades. ENIGMA is created and written by Dr. Kevin Dann, directed by Keith Fasciani, with a cast that includes Edward Delaphine, Maria Aparo, Catherine Mancuso, Joli Tribuzio, Daniel O'Neill, Nancy Corbo, and Jason Naylor.

Sadly, I didn't even think about their provide. If I experienced, taken it, I could have walked away free and clear, without a horrible foreclosure scar in my credit record. Too bad my pride would not allow me consider the money and run.
Opportunity knocks and this is your chance to do what you've usually needed to. Maybe you have desires of becoming a dancer, golfer, business owner, doctor, Disaster Insurance Lawyer New Orleans LA, massage therapist or artist.

Now they want each of us to go into here Alcohol and Drug therapy programs. I think that is where the County tends to make their Genuine Money. If they can dredge out any current or past consuming or drug use, they will recommend you to a program. My spouse has been thoroughly clean for more than 5 years and he was recommended to a plan following a thoroughly clean drug and liquor assessment. I was recommended for a program simply because my sons informed a CPS social worker I drink beer every evening. This also was Prior to they got my clean drug and alcohol lab outcomes.

There are tons of scams, strategies, and unsavory, slick speaking people attempting to get your cash. Use your good judgment and if something seems like an empty guarantee, operate the other way. On the other hand if it seems affordable and they are providing a trial period alongside with tons of good coaching to back up their claims, verify it out.

Having a nicely rounded feeling of self worth and creating a lifestyle which exists outdoors your work lifestyle can include enormously to the quality of your lifestyle and to these around you.

Yesterday I spent the day with a group of high schoolers from Second Baptist School in Houston Texas, that are visiting us for the week. We headed out early in the morning for a photo shoot at the Medano, then ended up at the dunes, before heading back for breakfast. After breakfast, we went back over to the Medano with the horses and headed out on a lovely mid-day ride. The sun was shining and the wind was hardly blowing- quite a nice day for March in the San Luis Valley! In the evening we headed over to the dunes again for an evening photo shoot. We drove the primitive road to the sand pit, where it is a short walk down to where Medano creek is flowing. The constant change of the flow of water and patterns in the sand made for a wonderful photo shoot. Here is a picture that I took with my iphone, not nearly as nice as the photos everyone else took!
As I've mentioned before, we try to take some time during the "off season" to begin to work with our young horses. This season I have a couple that I really want to focus my attention on....
Zoe is little bay mare that I developed a special connection with 2 summers ago, when she was a yearling. At that time, we had a herd of yearlings living on the Zapata, turned out on pasture so they could grow and just be horses. We brought them all in on branding day in May oof 2010, so they could be shipped over to the Chico, where there was more land available for the to graze. One little bay mare came in with both legs freshly cut up by barb wire- we were really concerned about whether or not she would in fact heal. But we kept her down here, kept her seperated in the little pen by our saddlehouse and spent a half hour each day doctoring her legs. After a few months in, her legs were finally healed well enough to be turned out again. And now, her knees are still a little big and she has some old scars, but she is a sound, happy 3 year old. Since she was doctored everyday, we worked her in lead daily, so she became a pro at being caught, lead, and generally lvoed all over (maybe a little spoiled) at a young age. Therefore, she has been relatively easy to start under saddle- she is gentle as can be. This picture is from me first ride on her- she was walking over top of the plastic grain bag and extra saddle blankets we had lying in the round pen without question. Her issue thus far is a lack of energy, or being unwilling to move forward off the leg. A horse that is unresponsive to the leg is at least as difficult, if not more so, than a horse that wants to go too forward. I have been working to use only a small amount of pressure with my leg, then I give her a few seconds to respond, and if she doesn't, I kick her rather hard. It is imperative in these beginning stages that she learns to move off of the small amount of pressure.
Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you all enjoyed some quality time with your friends and family. I have been enjoying some time back on the east coast and up until a couple days ago, the weather has been warm and sunny, making it a nice break from the valley winter. Before I headed back here, we were really busy wrapping up the season and starting to get ready for next season. In the last couple of months we purchased around 15 new horses!! It was a very exciting process for me and everyone should look forward to some more wonderful horses to ride on your next trip out to visit. Some of them have been up on facebook for new names (either they came without or their name was Joe- and we already have too many Joes)! Once I get back to the ranch, I will hit the ground (hopefully not literally) running on getting all these horses in shape and ready for next season. I am really happy to have some additional horses to add into our guest string, as it should allow our horses to have more time to rest. Our plan is to put them on a rotating schedule, so they are ridden 2 weeks, then turned out on pasture for 2 weeks. This should help them maintain their ideal body condition throughout the season, as well as prevent those who are a little prone to developing attitude problems from actually getting those attitudes.
Well, after being out riding in the sub zero temps, and for those that know me well, you know that it was very brave of Jeff to have me out in those temps (I'm not always the nicest person when cold), I was welcomed back to Maryland with temps in the 60s and abundant sunshine. I have spent a good deal of my time here getting my horses back into shape. I brought Zack and Chance back to Maryland (they were a little too tall for me to get on and off all day). I have been taking a lot of jumping lessons and trying to get them ready to sell. Next week, I will be heading even further south to spend the week working with a wonderful horseman on breaking young horses. I hope to be able to share all I learn with you all this season!
Above is a picture of Chance and I jumping last week- just a little insight into the other side of riding.

Of all the senses, I truly value the gift of vision. Without a doubt the rest are equally important, but being able to see can bring much joy in the experience that it creates. Looking at the amazing sights of nature calm my troubled mind and leave me with hope to keep striving. The vibrant colours that catch our eyes as well as the dullness of humans' mistakes, provide an interesting contrast in this world. Even the murkiest river and the barren desert are beautiful in their own right. It's not what you see but how you feel by taking in the whole big picture. When I'm stuck indoors and need a quick pick-me-up, I'll turn to my inspiration board and let my eyes soak in the wonderment of beauty in the cut-outs. They are a unique mixture of objects, people and places that remind me about this wonderful life…to live, to love, to enjoy, to appreciate while it lasts.
