Some bloggers have craze of adding fonts. They sometimes add 10-15 fonts on a single blog to stylize their blog. Some bloggers have craze of blog styling and adding advanced functions in their blog using JavaScript and they add JavaScript and CSS externally (using link) and then they say- 'Oh my gosh! How my blog is so slow!?'.Is it Similar to your story? Then today we have something to tell you!
Today, we will show you how can you add JavaScript & CSS which are hosted externally without much effecting your blog's loading time. Actually, millions of Blogs about blogging introduce great widgets everyday to newbie bloggers. As, 'newbie' bloggers, they add that widget/gadgets in their blog but they never think that it can effect their blog's loading time. Most of the bloggers upload widget's CSS or JavaScript on an external server and when newbie bloggers add that widgets, their blog start behaving slow. So without talking anymore, let's know what's new thing in this post.
#1- Add Google Web Fonts Without Much Effecting Blog's Page Loading SpeedAlmost 90% Bloggers add some fonts (at least one) from Google Web Fonts in their blog. And, some bloggers add more than 5 Google Web Fonts in their blog. The Bloggers who have added 1-2 fonts, do not feel any changes in their blog's loading speed but the Bloggers who have added more than 5 Google Web Fonts, feel a increase in their blog's loading speed. You know why? Imagine- You have four bowls that are its one third filled. Your mom said to you to take that four bowls to hall of your home. And, it took you 5 minutes because you have two hands and in one time, you can only carry two bowls. But what if you collect all the material of four bowls and put it in one bowl and then take it to hall? It will take you only 1-2 minutes. Same as in Google Web Fonts. You add multiple links for multiple fonts but do you know? A single link can upload multi fonts in your blog and by doing this, you can decrease your blog's loading speed in good percent. Now let's learn how to do this:
- Suppose, you have these fonts installed in your blogger blog:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lora:400,400italic|Bree+Serif' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Dosis' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Quattrocento+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Exo+2' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
- It will increase your blog's page loading speed but if you don't want to let it increased, use below like link:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lora:400,400italic|Bree+Serif|Oswald|Dosis|Varela+Round|Quattrocento|Exo+2' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
How to Create One Font Link from Multiple Font Links?Its easy! You just have to remember what font you want. Okay… let me explain:
- Suppose you have two font links as follows:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lora:400,400italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
- And you want to create one link of above two link. For this, you will have to remember the font names.
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lora:400,400italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
- Now to make one link, you have to place first font name (Oswald) and then second font name (Lora:400,400italic) and between them, add | sign:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lora:400,400italic|Oswald' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
- Done! Now, this link will load Oswald and Lora font which will decrease your page loading speed in good percent. (you can add more than 2 fonts also!)
#2- Adding all JavaScript or CSS in only one External LinkI think, you are not the developer of your template. Right? If yes, then you are using a designer's template with credits. Of course right! Nowadays, designers add their credits and not only add credits but they add complex credits which are hard to remove. They sometime add different JavaScripts externally to protect credits from being removed. But these JavaScripts make template or say your blog's loading speed too poor. So to prevent them from increasing your blog's loading speed, I have a trick!
Search for an external JavaScript file in your template. (Tip: Most of the external JavaScript file links end with .js except Google Drive) Open it and copy all the JavaScript from it and now, paste it on a simple Notepad file. Do this with all external JavaScript file links (copy the JavaScripts and paste it below the before pasted JavaScripts on the Notepad file but give at least one line space) and then, save it with .js extension. Then follow the steps mentioned:
- Go to YourJavaScript.com
- Type your email, upload your file using given uploader and then type right captcha and then click on upload.
- The link of the uploaded file will reach within 1 minute in your email id.
- Place that link and remove all other external links from which you had copied JavaScripts and pasted on Notepad file.
- Save Your Template and you will see a huge decrease in page loading speed.

Some of the most common medications used by Americans cause zinc deficiency, including: the blood pressure medicines, called ACE inhibitors; loop diuretics used to treat cardiovascular problems; cholestyramine, which binds to bile acids and lowers cholesterol; oral contraceptives; stomach acid reducers, called H-2 receptor antagonists; and estrogen and hormone replacement therapies.* In the US, ACE inhibitors alone account for 130 million prescriptions annually. Diuretics are third most commonly used type of medicine in people over age 60.**
What are the risks of losing the sense of smell?
MayoClinic.com says that anosmia isn't dangerous in and of itself, "but an intact sense of smell is necessary to fully taste foods. So loss of smell could cause you to lose interest in eating, leading to weight loss, malnutrition or even depression. Loss of smell also prevents you from smelling things like spoiled food or smoke."
I've already encountered that problem on my smellcation, evoking the "when in doubt throw it out" mantra to protect myself from accidental food poisoning.
What causes anosmia?
MayoClinic.com reports a laundry of conditions and diseases that decrease sense of smell, called "anosmia" in the medical world. The causes fall into three main categories: problems with the inner lining of the nose, obstruction of the nasal passages and damage to the brain or nerves. I noticed that malnutrition and zinc deficiency are listed among last "damage to brain and nerves" causes. Zinc is an essential mineral responsible for speeding wound healing, helping the immune system, bone health and metabolizing carbohydrates. I was surprised that it could effect the sense of smell, too.
One way to counter zinc depletion brought about by take certain prescription medications is to boost consumption of foods high in the mineral. The best natural sources of zinc are shellfish, meat and poultry cooked with dry heat sources, such as grilling or roasting, according to the government website Nutrition.gov. Grains and legumes are also good sources of zinc, especially when soaked before cooking. Avoiding processed foods helps to prevent additional leaching of zinc from the body. Non-processed foods highest in zinc are, according to the USDA:
- Eastern oysters
- Beans
- Turkey
- Beef
- Alaska king crab
- Lamb
- Chicken

(HockeyStL) -- In the last four games, St. Louis Blues centerman Patrik Berglund has scored four goals, helping ignite a dormant Blues offense that struggled after the Olympic break.
His third period goal last Sunday against Phoenix served as the first point the Blues recorded since coming back from that break. Berglund would score one more goal in the game as the Blues came back from two goals down against the Coyotes by a score of 4-2.
"It's a good feeling obviously. We hadn't scores in two straight games and going into the third in Phoenix," said Berglund, "I think that was a huge win for us to comeback and score four goals."
Those 4 goals in 4 games have brought Berglund's season total to 12, below expectations for the year. Berglund, who is playing in his sixth NHL season, has 7 fewer goals right now than both second year players and line-mates Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko. With 18 games remaining, Berglund would need 10 goals to tie his career-high 22.
Does Berglund have to ability to reach that same number as his 2010-2011 season? Absolutely, the past four games prove that. Will it happen? That answer, however, is unclear.
The Blues signed Berglund to a one year $3.25 million contract at the beginning of the season. It's hard to give a streaky player like the native Swede a long term contract because it's unclear which player will show up to the rink each night.
But if Berglund can keep the momentum going, he can put his team in a good position for the playoffs.
"I think we've been proving to ourselves that we're a good team," Berglund said, "Our goal is to win the cup. [It's] the thing we're working for and preparing for."

The brother came to quarterly board meetings, but that was about it. He happily pulled his share of the profits from the family business for years and years and years. Amazingly, he became tired of having to go to board meetings and asked his siblings to just buy him out which they did.
The sister had an impressive title. According to the company's organizational chart, she oversaw four departments. The reality was that professional managers had been brought in to really run the departments. They each kept her informed just in case, but no real value resulted from their meetings with her.
The younger brother was president, and he wanted the business to truly grow, be successful, and stand for something. He developed a strategic plan, invested in multiple locations, and occasionally tried to motivate his sister. One day, the sister came into a management meeting and loudly declared, "I don't want to be held accountable by anyone," and the sibling president was put on the spot. He could have just fired his sister, bought her out, and kept growing the business. But instead, he invested hours and hours, days and days, weeks and weeks to get a fair valuation, find buyers, and negotiate the best price.
The parent and each sibling ended up with a great deal of money…multi-millions.
So now, no one in the family is talking to the younger brother. He got them more money than they could have ever imagined. He was the only sibling actually working. The reasons? "[He] had embarrassed his siblings. [He] should have tried harder."
The sister spoke up recently and actually asked to help. She didn't want her children to think that she didn't work/have a job or career.

How to Get a Cheating Husband Back
All men are polygamous. Emotional and physical faithfulness don't mean the same for them. In most cases, cheating happens by accident. Of course, it can't be the excuse, but in this situation, you shouldn't perform rash actions. It is very easy to destroy the family. Thus it's up to you to decide how to behave with a cheater.
So why do men cheat? Basically, there are two reasons. The first one is dullness in sexual relationships and monotonous everyday life. It pushes the man to find the lover, even though he doesn't want to leave his family. But, as time passes, he falls in love with the mistress more and more, and the situation becomes too stressful.
The second reason is a constant need for intimacy. There is one type of men whom even the most active partner can't satisfy. This reason is not so common as the first one, but still, sometimes it happens.
My Husband Left Me. How Do I Get Him Back?
When the husband leaves his family, woman perceives it as a tragedy. Apart from the pain from the loss of the loved one and resentment at his betrayal, the situation also causes a lot of problems associated with growing up the children alone. Therefore, the woman is ready to do everything to get her husband back.
You shouldn't think that the primary reason to leave the family is another woman. The underlying reason is much more serious. It often happens, that men leave their families even if they don't have any other woman, but just because they can't live anymore with wife together.
Psychologists are sure that the decision to leave the family is always well-thought. It is the result of the significant problems in the relationships. Frequently, the woman subconsciously forces her husband to go. On the other hand, if the man has gone, it doesn't mean that the wife is the only one who did something wrong. It may happen even with the most beautiful, sexy and caring woman. Therefore, before you do something, you should analyze the reasons which pushed him to leave you.
What to Do to Get Your Boyfriend Back
Probably every girl at least once heard her boyfriend saying that he wants to break up. Usually, it happens unexpectedly, even though the girl was subconsciously prepared for it. However, if she truly loves her boyfriend, she will try to get him back.
First steps
- In the beginning, you should decide whether you need to get your man back or not. Also, you have to figure out why you need him. If you are ready to correct your mistakes and take your relationships to the next level, you are moving in the right direction! However, if you are driven by other motives such as fear of being alone or desire to take revenge, then you shouldn't even try to get him back because it doesn't worth your efforts.
Ways to Get Your Ex-Husband Back
"How to get my husband back?" – is one of the most frequently-asked questions among women. If you want to get your husband back forever and restore your relationships, first of all, you should figure out the causes of your breakup. Try to assess the situation as an observer without emotions, blames or reproaches. Also, try to understand why you want to get him back. What drives you: egoism, strong love, affection, wounded self-esteem, pride or fear to be alone? In this article, we will answer the most common question which women have.
How to get your husband back?
Every woman dreams that the relationship with her man will last forever. She never thinks about future conflicts and scandals. However, it happens very often that her lovely man leaves the family. Some women cope with the situation easily and just accept it, but most women can't imagine their life without their men.
Tips on How to Get Your Ex-Boyfriend Back
If you read this article right now, you probably suffer from the loss of your loved one. Your boyfriend has gone, and it is hard to imagine something more painful than the fact that he doesn't love you anymore. Nobody can tell you anything that will make you feel better. However, there are psychological techniques which will help you to get your loved one back. Maybe they are not obvious and even contradict with common sense, but they are simple, effective and what is more important, they work.
How should you behave to get him back? The most effective tips
- Avoid contacting with him or at least do it as rarely as possible. You should disappear from his life for about 3-4 weeks. Sounds easy? Not really, probably it will be the most difficult challenge for you because you miss your man and think only about him. Stop calling him and sending messages. One of the biggest mistakes women make after the breakup can be called SMS terrorism. You should understand that any message or the phone call can be too much for your boyfriend. It was too much for him already to tell you that he doesn't want you anymore. Therefore, it is better to accept the situation and show indifference.
Things to Do to Get Your Boyfriend Back
What can be sadder than a breakup with a loved man? Emotions are swirling inside: resentment, anger, and confusion make it impossible to think rationally. You haven't realized yet what has happened and now you don't know what to do. You keep thinking over and over in your mind about this situation trying to understand why he left. You want to call him and ask what you did wrong. However, you shouldn't do anything in a hurry at this moment.
The first thing you have to do is to calm down and get your thoughts straight. You should understand that it can happen with everybody. Maybe your ideal love was only an illusion, and in reality, everything was different. We have no control over the feelings of others even though he is your soulmate. Over the years everything can change. Yes, it is painful and unpleasant, but that is life.
How to Win Your Husband Back During Separation
Most married couples experience difficulties in their relationship. It is great if the family can cope with problems, however, sometimes they lead to the breakup. If you are not ready to lose your husband, then you have the only one way – fight for your love. You should apply even more efforts if your man cheated on you. In case of everyday problems, the solution is very easy – find a compromise and eliminate the cause of the argument.
The first steps to get your husband back
Evaluate your recent behavior towards your spouse. If you have expressed all your claims to him, showed dissatisfaction with his salary or with the fact that he doesn't devote enough time to you, don't be surprised if he decided to leave you. After a while you will realize that all these problems can be solved, but how you can get your husband back?
How to Win Husband Back Before Divorce
Is there any chance to restore the relationship if your husband left you? Yes, if you know how to do it! Everything depends on the methods you will choose. In this article, we discuss the most efficient ways to get your husband back.
Why do men leave their wives?
Many women come to the psychologist with the same problem: "My husband left me because I was a bad wife!" However, in reality, they were too good wives. What does it mean? If you are constantly thinking about your family and never about yourself, your husband gets a signal that you are too perfect, and you don't need his care and protection. He doesn't need to invest any money and efforts in you. That's the nature of men – they value only these things which they get for some price.
How to Get Your Husband to Come Back Home
"My husband has left me!" – these words are shocking and unbelievable for most women. In this situation, ladies immediately start to look for the ways to get their husbands back. Of course, the desire to save the family is normal, but is it really justified in all cases? In this article, we are going to discuss not only how to get your husband back but also in which cases you should do it.
Don't pressure on your husband
Psychologists always recommend stopping pushing on the man, because it will never lead to the desired result. Men don't like such attitude. Of course, your spouse can give up under such pressure and come home, but it will only be the temporary result. If you don't eliminate the reason because of which your man left you, he will do it again.
How to Get Your Husband Back from the Other Woman
Even the most beautiful woman who has the best cooking skills on the planet can catch her husband with the lover. And if this woman is intelligent, she will not think about taking the revenge but rather about getting her husband back. Do you agree? Then let's do it!
It doesn't matter how much your husband loves the other woman because it will be very hard for them to live together. Probably now they are dating, and everything seems to be great, but when he moves to her, the problems can't be avoided. Lovers are not ready to endure the whims of the man who is accustomed to the care and respect of his wife. This way their relationships will be broken soon. To make the process faster, consider following tips.

6 Videos to Get You Into Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell
The show returns to FXX tonight.
Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell returns tonight at 11 p.m. on FXX, FX's comedy-channel spinoff, and from here on out the show will be on four nights per week instead of one. When the late-night show started last year, it was a little bit spotty, but over the course of the season, the show really found its voice: The Daily Show is to media what Totally Biased is to race, and the more confidently the show embraced that, the better it got. The man-on-the-street segments, like "Anything to Say to a White Guy?" are consistently funny, and the stand-up sets and sketches from the show's writers are the best parts of most episodes. If you need more convincing to check it out, here are some highlights from last season.
Here, various people air grievances and ask questions to a white guy.
Hari Kondabolu is a writer for the show, and in this clip, he takes on everyone's favorite ESPN program: the spelling bee.
One of Totally Biased's charms is that it often feels very low-budget and casual. The best of these let's-just-try-this-goofy-idea segments is from writers Janine Brito and Aparna Nancherla, in which they take on the ever buzz-worthy topic of oral sex.
One of the recurring bits in Bell's monologues is "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things," which is generally about Americans doing something hellaciously racist. Here, it's the racist response to that Cheerio's commercial from a few months ago. Bell covers a ton of ground in this segment, from jokey-jokey stand-up material to tender emotions about his family, and it's kinda great.
And finally, another man-on-the-street piece, this time with people explaining the "positive" stereotypes of their own backgrounds. (Stick around for the "Electric Slide.")

February 20, 2014 09:00 ET
CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Feb 20, 2014) -
According to a study released today by BMO Private Bank, high-net worth Americans (those with investible assets of $1 million or more) reported that they require, on average, $2.3 million to fund their retirement. The study is the fourth in a series by BMO Private Bank examining trends among the affluent in the U.S.
The study also found that 94 percent of the nation's affluent are feeling confident about their ability to achieve their ideal retirement lifestyle.
"It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that so many are upbeat about being able to afford the retirement of their dreams, given that our study also found that more than 90 percent of high-net worth Americans are currently feeling good about how their investments are performing," said Terry Jenkins, President & CEO, BMO Private Bank.
"However, it's important to keep in mind that market conditions can change quite quickly and have a negative impact on people of all income levels. It's critical that they protect their retirement savings against market fluctuations as best as possible by ensuring that their portfolios are well diversified."
Wealth and Generation Next
The study also examined issues related to the inter-generational transfer of wealth. It found that, among those affluent Americans with children:
"With wealth comes complexity, so it's encouraging to see that so many affluent Americans feel that their kids are prepared to handle their inheritances and are taking the time to teach them about personal finance issues," noted Mr. Jenkins. "Financial literacy starts at home. It's incumbent on all parents to begin teaching kids about money matters early on and to be as transparent as possible about family finances."

In the past, Gmail would ask you if you wanted to see images, and would allow you to automatically show them from specific people. This was done for security, as loading images from other servers was potentially dangerous. However, Gmail behavior has been changed entirely, and you'll start to see it in the new Gmail update coming out for Android.
This behavior has been present in the desktop version of Gmail for about a month now, and it's finally coming to mobile, as promised early 2014.
The new version of Gmail for Android is 4.7.2 is here and with it, automatic images in emails. It's no longer a danger because emails sent to Gmail accounts will now have their photos rehosted on Google's servers and scanned for malware. This means the images you're seeing are coming from Google instead of random sources. Of course, if you prefer not seeing images automatically, you still have that option.
If you want to update your Gmail app, hit the widget below or head to the Play Store on your Android device! The rollout might take a while, but surprisingly, I already got the update. Do you like to see images immediately, or would you rather have them hidden by default?

Rise Of The Second Revolution Towards The ANC Authorities
For the previous three to 4 presidential cycles, The United States has been facing some form of racial strife or one other. It is most possible that an early Homo kind, such as that of the East Africa Homo habilis, existed in Southern Africa someday between 1.7 and a couple of million years ago, although its fossil stays have yet to be discovered. All viewpoints are welcome right here, however I certainly cannot agree that career schools are being held to a better customary.
Taliban,fundmentalist Islamists, warlords of Hizb Islami and northern alliance are inventions of Pakistan from the 1980's and ninety's. Physical restoration, unbiased dwelling aids and home equipment, instruction in low-vision abilities and counseling and guidance. Japanese schools are filled with educators, while American schools are filled with indoctrinators, and that's the distinction.
A South African authorities that continues to accommodate corruption whereas hacking away at impartial establishments will serve neither the authentic interests of South Africans nor the hopes of tens of millions of others that South Africa might lead the continent toward a better future. With MOOCs, a scholar might mix and match on-campus and online courses to greatest assist her studying type, and colleges might deal with what they do greatest without college students needing to forfeit other forms of studying.
When one appears to be like into the present state of schooling in South Africa, one can see that wishing to have our children be educated in White faculties has been one terrible mistake Africans did. As in different boarding faculties around Indian Country, the final of which closed in 1968, college students within the St. Ignatius school had their hair shorn and had been punished in the event that they spoke their very own languages or practiced their traditions.
Claimants reported abuse either by Jesuit priests or nuns under Jesuit supervision, beginning in the Nineteen Fifties at boarding schools and parishes on remote reservations and tiny, far-flung villages around the Northwest and Alaska. With the problems of 'democracy' being violated and malpracticed in South Africa at this time, it is usually essential to have a look back at what occurred to the Nation after the World Cup of 2010 in South Africa.

Kneed to know basis
Elizabeth Newman, McKnight's Senior Editor
In addition to being in professions with a lot of pressure, they're all putting lots of pressure on their knees.
As more long-term care facilities expand into offering rehabilitation services, it's no surprise that joint replacements, often for the knees, offer solid business. But that business isn't as desirable when it becomes a necessity for more and more direct care workers.
Healthcare workers, in the best of circumstances, have to be on their feet more than an office worker and may need to lift residents on a regular basis. There's also the shifting age demographics, with more and more employees working into their 60s, and increasing their risk of wearing out their bodies.
But there's another aspect, which may be apparent to anyone who has walked the halls of a hospital or long-term care facility: Many nurses are overweight or obese. That's backed up by studies, including a 2008 Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners analysis that found that out of close to 5,000 registered nurses, more than 50% were overweight or obese.
That has a huge impact, no pun intended, on knees.
And knee replacement is not necessarily the perfect solution. Putting aside whether more healthcare systems will follow Tennessee's BlueCross BlueShield example of bundling joint replacements, there's some question of whether our focus on replacement surgery as a standard is going to change. For one, as a New York Times article notes, up to 30% of patients may not see improvement post-surgery.
That brings us back to weight loss, and low-impact exercise. Even a loss of 10 to 15 pounds can do wonders, physicians in the NYT article advised. If you are a long-term care administrator, it's worth investigating wellness programs that would work for your facility. Even a modest walking program, or gym subsidy, may result in employees losing weight and putting less pressure on their joints.
Another important point: stressing the importance of good shoes. For some, this may mean orthotics, for others it means simply not using a worn-out pair of footwear.
Finally, if someone is headed toward a knee replacement, look at a study from the University of Louisville around "prehabilitation." It found that even light resistance training and flexibility exercises helped quicken recovery time.
There is no magic bullet for helping all employees keep their joints in good shape. But there is also no excuse for not being proactive on knee preservation.

Anne Hathaway Cast in Live Fast Die Hot
Anne Hathaway has been set to star in the film adaptation of Jenny Mollen's novel Live Fast Die Hot. Hathway will portray real-life New York writer and actress Mollen, an eccentric who was forced to grow up following the birth of her son Sid Mollen.
The 272-page book is a series of essays that Mollen wrote about her life, including one detailing her invite to her "drug dealer to Passover seder (so he wouldn't feel like they were using him only for drugs)."
Regarding the other essays in Live Fast Die Hot:
It follows Jenny to Morocco, where she embarks on a quest to prove to herself that she can travel alone without reenacting a plotline from Taken. It shows her confronting demons—most of them from childhood, a few from the spirit realm. And it culminates in Peru, where Jenny decides that maybe the cure for her anxiety as a mom lies at the bottom of a cup of ayahuasca.
Warner Bros.'s Chantal Nong will oversee Live Fast Die Hot for the studio. Live Fast Die Hot currently has no script writer. The film version of Live Fast Die Hot has no set released date.

Allow Me to Tell You Why Giving Yourself Your First Brazilian Is a Terrible Idea
It's basically SAW: Beauty Edition.
After having to forecefully concede to local authorityand get some damn permits, we were what felt like on our way. Mostly. We could stop tiptoeing around the outside of the house for starts, as we were officially on record as permit-holding home renovators.
By the way, do you know how nosy permits are? They list your name, projected fee for project, residence address, and phone number -- and then you have to tape it in your front window for all to see. I didn't like that at all, but beings as they didn't fine us or seize our tools, I kept my head down and agreed.
The permit was a game changer. Originally, we toyed with running electric and plumbing ourselves. D's done it before, but he's no master plumber/electrician, and, thus, it would ONLY be done as a means to money save. Wiring a house for electricity and running complete plumbing is one of the most expensive things to be done in a gut. That said, it's also super important that it be done right. Both things can cause a boatload of future issues -- leaks, flooding, fire, etc.
After going back and forth for a few weeks (prior to licensing and inspection busting in on us) as to whether we'd actually do it ourselves or hire out, we came across a low-key electrician who did plumbing, too. He had just finished doing a house down the street (we never actually validated this claim) and was a good friend of the man who ran the demo crew we hired. He gave us an unbeatable price (like, jaw dropping price) to do both. DING DING, warning sign. (Which we ignored, I mean, people can be multi-talented, right?)
It was a relief to hire someone to task these key pieces. Even though it'd cost some dough, at this point we hadn't spend very much, only a couple thousand, so we were comfortable moving forward with M. Plus, it was a step up from us actually doing it ourselves.
We planned to keep close tabs on all his work and bring someone in when he was done to check over it to ensure against future fires, or any other horrific event that could destroy what we spent months creating.
Then the permit debacle happened and we were on the bureaucratic radar. Guess who wasn't a licensed master plumber or electrician? Mdawg. He was undeterred by the permit necessitation. He had a "friend" who could procure needed permits. They'd even send in a proxy for inspections as needed.
I didn't love it. But I also didn't love the estimated $20,000 we'd spend otherwise on real-deal electric and plumbing companies. Additionally, we'd already partially paid M. I knew we couldn't get that money back from him, and the thought of taking the loss was equally cringe inducing.
This is perhaps my least favorite thing about home renovation. When hiring out, partial payment is generally expected before work actually begins. Sometimes people have requested up to half upfront. We've shied from this, negotiating closer to 25%.
Both sides assume risk in these deals -- we're paying money upfront for work we can't force to happen -- or happen correctly. On the other hand, someone is coming to our home, buying materials, doing work and trusting we'll actually fork over money upon completion. It's certainly fair. But since I knew we were a safe bet, I trembled the times we had to write out that first check to an unknown entity, wondering how it'd play out.
We felt obliged to M. He was a nice, older gent who seemed like a hard, honest worker. We had promised him the work and, again, had already paid our fair share upfront. He had even tinkered around a couple days of preliminary work and everything seemed satisfactory.
With bated breath, I agreed to the black-market permits. We started tentatively by only agreeing to the electricity one for a cool $600 bought on a grimy North Philly street corner. By the way, in a more honest situation, whoever is hired to do the work pays for the permit. Oh, and it costs about $100.
Beyond the permit drama, we were busy assembling a team to help D get a jumpstart on building. As I work a regular full-time job, my hours of housework were limited to a couple hours during the week after work (basically, before it got too dark), and the weekends. As spring approached, we felt our rental days were numbered as house showings steadily increased. We needed to get a move on and be prepared to move into our house at a (30 days) moment's notice.
D had a few friends able to come down here and there to help out on days when their own work was slow, which was super helpful. It was a morale boost for D to have someone there during the days helping him out -- particularly with things I was useless at, like moving radiators (hello, several hundred pounds of metal) and installing new joists.
We aimed to pay everyone who came through our door with tools in hand (except kind family, love you guys). While it's totally cool for a friend to help you out, our renovation was going on in extreme conditions. It was bitterly cold, dirty no matter how many times we ran the shop vac (on hands and knees no less), and if you had to go to the bathroom you had your choice of empty home depot buckets; there was no running water. That said, we weren't able to pay premium rates, so we balanced somewhere around, like, "Hey we're friends, but I get this sucks -- here's a check."
I think (hope) it worked out for all involved. But I will say it's kind of awkward writing a check for $15/hour for someone used to, say, $40.
By this time, March or so, the house had totally spread like thick ivy across our lives. D would be completely disheveled, dirty and exhausted by day's end, and I scrambled to at least make sure he was eating a proper meal before passing out for the night. Who would have thought I'd finally learn to cook via home renovation? Our schedule quickly evolved into a mundane house-construction-oriented routine:
Four months in, the stress of what exactly we'd gotten ourselves into started to take its toll. I constantly worried that D would relapse and end up back in the hospital (where he could then take up to 2 months to recover). The hospital was a big enough threat, but then there was the added dilemma that construction could potentially seize for a couple months, our rented house could sell and and and. Stressful.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: If you are thinking of doing something like this, add at LEAST 3 extra months to any timeframe (and double the loot)!
Without realizing it, we slowly stopped hanging out with friends and doing things we enjoyed. All of our energy was funneled into the house, not unlike what I imagine happens when one has a new baby -- except you don't really get visitors, which I imagine is because you turn into a total grump, and who wants that?
It felt like we had nothing to talk about except the house -- even to each other. At night I'd toss, inflicted with worry over what needed to happen "tomorrow," and other boring shit I never thought would consume me. For example, "Are the horrors of sprayfoam insulation true?"
Our wardrobe quickly became overstocked with thermals (so unchic) from working in a house with no heat daily and we quietly started to wonder what we'd gotten ourselves into. Visions of roaring West like a modern day "True Romance" and not stopping until we hit Mexico danced in our heads like sugarplum fairies. I mean, really, what if we just left? What was stopping us? The mind can make justifications for just about anything in times of desperation, when you're in over your head.
What kept us going, I can't say. I paraded around to outwardly lift D up, cooing over progress daily and ensuring anyone who asked that we were fine and all was coming along. And part of me really meant it. Enough so that I actually did keep going, I suppose.
Things started to look up when our house grew a skeleton, which is how I fondly referred to the framing for walls. And when we finally took care of the missing 2nd story floor. So, that was pretty sweet. Some sunshine after winter rain. Can't stay down forever.

Quick Reference
(1880–1942), actress. She began her career as a child performer in her native San Francisco where she played for many years in stock before coming to New York in 1901. Crews started to attract notice when she appeared as Rosie Leadbetter in Merely Mary Ann (1903) and as Evelyn Kenyon in Brown of Harvard (1906). For the next several seasons she was a prominent member of Henry Miller's company, then she played Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, (1913) and the daydreaming Louise Marshall in The Phantom Rival (1914). Walter Prichard Eaton said of her performance, "She has, to a degree possessed by almost no other player of her age on our stage, the technical command of her trade.. .[she] plays Louise, the wife, with a skill, a variety, a force and a charm that delight the soul." Although she regularly earned such praise and remained a sought-after performer, Crews never quite became a star of the first rank. Among her later roles were Mistress Page in a 1916 Boston revival of The Merry Wives of Windsor; Mrs. Deane in Peter Ibbetson (1917); Olivia Marden, who may have entered a bigamous marriage inadvertently, in Mr. Pim Passes By (1921); Dora Faber in the comedy The Changelings (1923); Judith Bliss in Hay Fever (1925); the possessive mother Mrs. Phelps in The Silver Cord (1926); Amalia in Right You Are If You Think You Are (1927); and the flighty Aunt Min in Her Master's Voice (1933). Her last Broadway appearance was in Save Me the Waltz in 1938, although in 1941 she headed a road company of Arsenic and Old Lace.

I wasn't sure on buying this as the sponge is so small and I think the handle would make it awkward to use but it does look great to use for concealer although I don't think I'll be purchasing this as my Real Techniques does the same job. Great Review xReplyDelete

Imports to India, the biggest gold consumer by far, were running at five times average levels, according to investment bank UBS. Chinese smallholders used their May Day holiday not to head for the beach, as this column naively suggested last week, but to flood the gold dealers in Hong Kong. Turkey bought more gold in April than in any month since the fateful days of August 2008. And so on.
Were the financial pros back in New York and London impressed by this spontaneous outpouring of gold love? Not a bit.
What might Wall Street know that moms and pops in developing markets do not? One hint comes from an interesting bit of research published by French bank BNP Paribas last week. It seems — and we should all be thrilled to know this — that structured finance has infected the ancient art of gold trading through an instrument known as a "reverse convertible note."
This involves a financial institution lending cash to an asset buyer, at an elevated interest rate, but in return granting the buyer a put option to sell the lender said asset at a pre-agreed price. Investopedia tells us that RCNs "provide a predictable, steady income that can outpace traditional returns."
Living with parents can lead to financial independence
There are more adult Americans age 34 or younger sleeping in their childhood bedrooms now than at any other time in the past 30 years, but it can lead to more saving in the long run.
Unless of course the value of the underlying asset falls sharply and the put option triggers. This is just what happened when gold started to tank a few weeks ago. "It's hard to determine what was the biggest cause for gold's decline, but structured products played a part in exacerbating the downward spiral," BNP's chief of commodity sales, Guillaume Picot, told Bloomberg.
But this latest necromancy with RCNs is just more proof of a bigger picture problem: professional and retail gold buyers are living in separate worlds psychically if not geographically. The pros measure gold's performance against that of other assets, particularly stocks, and stocks have been killing gold for going on two years now. The S&P 500 SPX -0.37% has climbed by nearly 40% since Oct. 2011; the dominant SPDR Gold Shares ETF GLD -1.16% has lost 15%.
At a certain point all but the hard-core gold bugs will give up on the idea of the metal outperforming. The mid-April market panic seems to have been that point. All the more so as the main intellectual argument for gold — that central bank credit expansion will dilute "fiat" currencies and spur a new bout of monetary inflation — keeps stubbornly failing to come true.
The retail buyers lining up to grab gold at "bargain" prices don't care about or trust stock markets, for the most part. In India, they are acting on a time-honored tradition that precious metal is a woman's mad money, her potential salvation in the event of marital disaster or widowhood. Gold stashes are passed down from mother to daughter, or showered on brides as a wearable testament of financial independence. So consumers will always buy more if the price looks affordable.
The retail purchaser has the numbers in the world gold equation. ETF investors sold off 174 tons of metal in April, a record for them and enough to spur a market crash. But jewelry and gold-coin/bar buyers scooped up 222 tons in an average month last year. So a bull run at the shops can easily offset a bear patch on the Street in terms of raw demand.
But the pros can move the market more quickly with cascading instantaneous sell-offs of fund holdings or collateral on their reverse convertibles. Thus, the gold price plunged by 13% in two sessions between April 11-15, and has gained back only half that despite the masses' positive response.
At the moment the market is in stalemate, having done basically nothing last week. The near-term outlook would have to be called a bit bearish. Institutional investors look determined to shave weightings on gold so long as equities stay buoyant. The retail frenzy has to calm eventually, especially as India's spring wedding season is winding down this month.

History, to me, is not just facts but rather a story, told over and over, adapted to fit the storyteller's agenda. Art, for me, is a means of creating and documenting my own history. This may be in the process of finding locations, making objects for a scene, or dressing a model. History is a study of what is left after we are gone, and I am leaving behind my view of our time on this planet, both good and bad. What seems most likely to succeed us these days though, is our trash. It is this idea that got me interested in plastics in the first place.
How will future generations throughout time remember us in history? How do we remember past historic moments and figures? We are the Age of Plastic, represented by something that is truly genius and yet brittle and without character. What does the term "plastic" mean and say about our society? What associations do we make when confronted by the term "plastic"? By exploring different representations of historic imagery, and reappropriating them, my goal is to show what exactly it means to be labeled as an age or era. By adding elements of plastic into my work, I wanted to reinterpret history by projecting our own age onto it. Plastic itself represents society's detachment today from nature, and from our cultural environments that we have created and then subsequently destroyed. By creating and photographing historical periods in plastic I am trying to show our departure from the representation of history we've always known by exploring how we might be viewed in the future.

Blog 22 of Top 25 Moms with Inspiring Families - 2012
Bereaved and Blessedby Kathy Benson
Favorite Blog Posts
How does blogging help you deal with challenges?
My blog is about learning to cope and find joy when life doesn't go as we hope, dream and plan (whether due to infertility, loss, illness and/or other circumstances). Blogging helps me to deal with challenges by allowing me to process my thoughts and feelings through writing. But my blog is so much more than a public journal. Blogging gives me the opportunity to get feedback and support from those who read what I share. I appreciate when people comment on my posts and share their unique points of view. Sometimes getting to look at a challenge that I am facing from another person's perspective can help me to deal with it more effectively. Likewise, blogging helps me to connect with others who write about topics and experiences that I can relate to. Though I may not agree with everything they believe and share on their blogs, I like to see where they are coming from, as well as how they approach and work through difficult, uncertain and joyful times in their lives. As a "wounded healer" I also find it therapeutic to know that I am able to help others by being so open and honest in my writing about my own personal experiences during and after our five year journey through secondary infertility and loss. I began blogging in April 2007 in part to update some of our family and friends who had shown us, through their love and support that they wanted to share in our journey trying to expand our family. We dealt with secondary infertility and pregnancy loss for over five years (between 2004 – 2009). At first I used my blog, originally called Three of a Kind Working on a Full House…, as a way to keep track of what happened during our Assisted Reproductive Technology cycles and then with our pregnancy/journey with our daughter Molly, who had a rare, severe and fatal combination of congenital heart defects and heterotaxy/left atrial isomerism. Molly was born and died in April 2008. Amazingly we somehow conceived again on our own and our daughter Abigail was born with a healthy heart in September 2009. Soon after I renamed my blog to Four of a Kind. We feel so blessed and continue to try to take this journey one day at a time. I also like to share some on my blog about parenting our 8 year old son Sean, now 2 year old Abby and add other tidbits about our life and experiences. After we lost Molly in 2008 and had Abby in 2009, I was in somewhat of a fog, still dealing with my grief, as well as balancing caring for our older son and newborn daughter. I did not blog much in 2010. In 2011 I found my voice again and have tried to prioritize writing, reading and commenting ever since. In February 2011 I "came out" about my blog, which had always been public, but not everyone in my life was aware of. I experienced some growing pains since, but overall am glad I chose to be more open with my friends and family in real life about it. Earlier this year I moved from Blogger to Self-Hosted WordPress and changed the name of my blog to Bereaved and Blessed.
What's a book or song that has inspired you?
"Gatekeeper" by Meg Hutchinson: I have been touched and heartbroken by the suicide of two loved ones and I struggle a lot with the "what ifs" and "hows" related to whether their deaths could have been prevented. One day in March 2010 I was listening to The Bob Edwards Show on NPR. Bob was interviewing folk singer Meg Hutchinson. They were talking about the inspiration behind one of her songs called "Gatekeeper." Meg shared that she had read an article in The New Yorker called "Jumpers" (October 2003) about the prevalence of people committing suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. The article spoke of a man named Kevin Briggs, who was a motorcycle patrolman with the Marin County, California police department that earned the nickname, "Gatekeeper." Apparently this guy has approached 200 men and women who looked as if they were about to jump off the bridge to their death in the Bay and successfully talked them and down and out of taking their own lives. As the story goes, and as Meg sings in the lyrics of her gorgeous song, the "Gatekeeper" apparently would ask these lost souls ready to take the plunge two simple questions: "How do you feel?" and "What are your plans for tomorrow?" In doing so, he was able to distract them long enough to get them to reconsider committing suicide that day. After hearing a clip in the interview, I download "Gatekeeper" and I couldn't wait to listen to the rest of the lyrics to Meg's simple and very moving song. Not long after that I found and read The New Yorker article she had referenced. My favorite line in Meg's song is, "maybe every day, in ordinary ways, we hold each other on, we keep each other here." I think that is so profound and rings true for me. There have been countless people in my life that have been "Gatekeepers" to me. Though I have never seriously considered committing suicide, I have survived some very rough patches where my self esteem and self worth were severely challenged. I love the idea that in "ordinary ways" we can make extraordinary differences in the journeys of loved ones and even strangers that we meet throughout the course of our day-to-day lives. Kevin "the Gatekeeper" Briggs has done so by asking those two simple questions of strangers he has met contemplating jumping, Meg Hutchison has done so through her music and song, Bob Edwards has done so with the stories he shares on his radio show and so many people have done so for me over the years through their kind words, caring ways, love and support. So often it's the little things that can help keep us a float when we feel like we are drowning. Knowing that others want to know how we are feeling and being able to think about what we might do tomorrow has the power to help us get through tough times. I hope that however you are doing today that you know there are people in your life (including me) who care about how you are feeling and want to know what your plans, hopes and dreams are for tomorrow and the days to come.
After a particularly rough day, how do you raise your spirits?
When this happens there are a variety of ways that I use to process my experience and to cope. As evidenced on my blog, one of my outlets is writing and sharing. However sometimes I just want to escape, go somewhere and forget my troubles. Sometimes I literally go somewhere, as in on a run or to a group fitness class (exercise is a huge stress reliever for me). Other times I will escape virtually through praying, meditating, listening to music, reading a book, a magazine, other blogs and/or watching a favorite movie or television show (two of my current favorites are Parenthood and Downton Abbey). Another way I get away from it all, when I can't physically go somewhere, is to go to one of my "happy places." I do this by closing my eyes and imagining that I am in one of my favorite places, such as the beach on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina (where my maternal grandparents retired to in 1979, lived until the late 1990′s before their deaths and I have many happy childhood memories of). Lately, when I need a quick pick me up, I have found a new "happy place" that I like to visit. I go and watch some of my favorite video clips on YouTube. Watching them is one of my simple pleasures in life and helps me to get my mind off whatever might be clouding my vision. My current favorite YouTube video is the "History of Rap" performed in 2010 on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon by Jimmy, Justin Timberlake and The Roots. If you've seen this video and enjoy it as much as I do and haven't seen the sequels, be sure to check out History of Rap Part Two and Part Three (if you can find them, as the last time I checked they were no longer available on YouTube). Though Parts Two and Three are not quite as awesome as the original (in my opinion), they are very entertaining and if you are a fan of rap music (like me), I think you will get a kick of out them.

Study Details U.S. Consumer Behavior Trends Surrounding Usage
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - September 19, 2016) - Today's U.S. consumers expect a world in which they always have high-speed access to anything they want, whether it be music, video, or basic information. Internet and data access while both at home and on-the-go is inextricably woven into the personal, social and business fabric of modern life.
Not surprisingly, home broadband usage in the U.S. is increasing, as U.S. consumers continue to adopt over-the-top video services, as well as engage in social networking, video chatting and other basic web activities on their home Wi-Fi networks. Home broadband usage is important to mobile operators and the mobile industry because it is a precursor to outside-the-home usage: if a user gets accustomed to streaming video and music over an in-home Wi-Fi network, then that user is likely to stream the same content when they step outside the home.
iGR, a market research consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile industry, has recently published a new market study that analyzes U.S. mobile consumer behavior at home and how it affects home broadband usage, most of which is generated on devices connected to home Wi-Fi networks. The study estimates home broadband usage and how that usage is divided between wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections, as well as how the usage is split between video and non-video content.
"U.S. consumers are increasingly using applications and services over the Internet connection in their home," said Iain Gillott, president and founder of iGR. "iGR believes that quantifying these consumers' home broadband usage is important for home broadband and mobile providers, as they both aim to provide quality data services."
iGR's new market study, U.S. Home Broadband & Wi-Fi Usage Forecast, 2015 - 2020: Increasing Usage in the Home, provides a five-year forecast for the amount of data used over home broadband connections in U.S. households. Additionally, the forecast divides the data usage into that provided by wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and it is also splits usage between video and non-video content. In addition to the forecast, this market study discusses the home broadband usage behaviors of U.S. consumers and details results from iGR's May 2016 survey of over 1,000 U.S. mobile consumers.
The following key questions are addressed in the new research study:
