1. MANGO BELTED BIKER JACKET // A badass leather jacket not only goes with (nearly) everything, but also keeps you warm. Plus, leather only gets better with wear – how many things can you say that about!?
2. DIPTYQUE POMANDER CANDLE // This candle was one of my many amazing discoveries at Mecca Cosmetica. The scent instantly reminded me of home baking and being snuggled up by the fire on a cold winters night (what more could you want from a candle!?). So, if you're anything like me, a.k.a love the smell of cinnamon and never got over the childhood novelty of gingerbread men, you will love this candle!
3. HAPPY SOCKS // It's simple, Happy Socks make you happy! And in leopard print? Clearly a winter necessity.
4. NARS VELVET MATTE LIP PENCIL IN DRAGON GIRL // Winter weather tends to lead to outfit choices with muted colours. But never fear, this means you can rock a statement lip like you just don't care. And what better way to make a statement than with a red lip!?
5. TOPSHOP WHITE RIPPED BOYFRIEND JEANS // In winter, comfort is key. Boyfriend jeans are the ultimate way to be comfortable, while still appearing 'put together'.
6. COMME DES GARCONS AMAZING GREEN EAU DE PARFUM // This tough yet lush scent reminds me of a mysterious forest with notes of spice and musk intertwined with sweet flowers. And it is indeed amazing (as the name implies).
7. KAREN WALKER FILIGREE COIN PURSE // I don't really have a reason as to why you need a new coin purse for winter – apart from the fact that this one is super cool and definitely won't stick around for long.
8. MARC BY MARC JACOBS DYNAMITE LOGO UMBRELLA // I'm going to point out the obvious – it rains in winter and an umbrella protects you from said rain. So, why not invest in a super rad umbrella? Then you will only lose 10 cool points when standing on the side of the road fighting with the wind to keep it in the right way, instead of 20.
9. BEAU COOPS JERRY ANKLE BOOTS // So awesome, so warm, so waterproof, so essential for winter.
10. ACNE STUDIOS DANIA SWEATER // Soft and snuggly knitwear is mandatory. Knowing I've got a cosy piece of knitwear (especially an Acne Studios Mohair sweater) to wrap up in when abandoning my warm bed, ever so slightly eases my mind.
11. KAREN WALKER RUNAWAY GIRL MUG // A hot chocolate (with an excessive amount of marshmallows) is the highlight of my cold winters morning, and what makes a hot chocolate with marshmallows even better? An amazing mug to drink it out of, of course.

If you make the effort to read any one of the message boards or chatroom online about Lasik surgery, you will wonder how anybody might get the guts to arrange a Lasik procedure, and why on earth they would want it. The different Lasik facilities audio anywhere from impersonal to something just like Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory, as well as the Lasik procedure itself sounds, well, unique. It feels like the only individuals that would certainly get Lasik are those with such bad vision that they could not wake up without their glasses on.
Well, let me give you my tale of how I selected Lasik. For me, Lasik was not essential, but I figured would certainly simplify my life. For these factors, Lasik looked really appealing.
The paragraph above may make you assume I am a "macho guy" (hope so, assume so!), so why on earth would I be afraid of a little Lasik scalpel? OK, technically Lasik does NOT utilize a scalpel yet instead a "microkeratome blade", however it is still a sharp things approaching my eye as component of the Lasik treatment. Nowadays Lasik physicians could get a laser to reduce the flap in the eye, which is more than a little much better than a sharp blade. Anyhow, I had too many spills in my life to believe any kind of sharp item nearing my eye was a good idea, even under the skilled hands of a Lasik medical professional.
After talking with 3 (yes, 3!) independent Lasik physicians, they each ensured me that a 28 years of age person in virtually best health (OK, I overemphasize a little bit) with modest nearsightedness was one of the absolute best prospects for a successful Lasik procedure. I determined to arrange my Lasik procedure with the one that had the very best record, and also coincidentally took one of the most time to discuss everything about Lasik to me.
The Lasik surgical treatment was not painful, though I approved nearly whatever they offered to offer me convenience, consisting of a teddy and a sedative bear. (I even went back to take an image of me and also the Lasik comforting teddy bear.) The only weird thing I remember regarding the Lasik procedure itself was a smell, something vaguely like hair burning. I mean that was my eye. I am sort of thankful they didn't tell me to anticipate that prior to the Lasik treatment, I am not sure I would certainly have gone in.
After a Continue couple of years, I presume I was a virtually best Lasik client, as my eyes now have 20/20 vision and have actually continued to be steady long after the Lasik procedure. I claim that if you are a great candidate for a Lasik vision modification treatment, get hold of that teddy bear and take place in.
If you take the time to review any of the message boards or conversation rooms on the Web about Lasik surgical treatment, you will certainly wonder address just how any person can obtain the nerve to set up a Lasik treatment, as well as why on planet they would want it. The numerous Lasik centers sound anywhere from impersonal to something similar to Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory, as well as the Lasik procedure itself sounds, well, surreal. OK, practically Lasik does NOT make use of a scalpel but rather a "microkeratome blade", however it is still a sharp item approaching my eye as part of the Lasik procedure. I chose to schedule my Lasik treatment with the one that had the finest track document, and also coincidentally took the most time to discuss everything about Lasik to me.

Dancing with the Stars Austin sets New Record!
The 8th Annual Dancing with the Stars Austin set a new record with its fundraising at the Hilton Austin for the Center for Child Protection. Event Chairs Katie Jaffe and Venus Strawn were joined by Honorary Chairs Andra and Joe Liemandt in leading the committee and attending, sold-out crowd to a 7 digit total beyond last year's record. They enjoyed extraordinary support from the private and business community with a special tip of the hat to Title Sponsor Lexus of Austin–who has been supporting the Center from the beginning. Emcee and Dance Director Sabrina Barker-Truscott had her work cut out for her in corralling the three judges: Ed Clements, Jeff Jumonville and Chuck Woolery. The repartee was fast and hilarious with Woolery bringing a gracious charm to the proceedings.
The celebrity dancers and their professional dance partners spent months practicing the routines and earned thunderous applause for their performance. They included: David Dunham & Sarah Berens; Donna Stockton Hicks & Angel Figueroa; Adam Zeplain & Amanda Warren; Cassie LaMere & Gary McIntyre; Sarah Meredith & Matt Stewart; Grant Foster & Bernadette Carmichael; Gene Austin & Taletha Jouzdani; Shelby Marquardt & Rowdy Dufrene; Francie Little & Albert Tailleur; Katrine Formby & Randy Ferguson.

SMALL GROUP JOURNEY – Guaranteed departures English only tour with max. 16 participants. Scheduled departures - 8-day/7-night tour visiting Shrewsbury, York & Keswick. Includes accommodation at superior tourist class hotels with breakfast daily, touring by mini van or small motor coach, and guided sightseeing as indicated in the itinerary.
Depart from London around 9.15 am. Travel to William Shakespeare's birthplace Stratford-upon-Avon, home to the Tudor thatched cottage and the gardens of his wife, Anne Hathaway. You will have time to explore the magnificent village of Stratford and enjoy lunch, before continuing to the World Heritage site of Ironbridge. Set in a stunning forested gorge on the River Severn, this historic valley boasts the world's first ever iron bridge and a host of attractions to choose from. It was once described as the most extraordinary district in the world! From here, travel to the beautiful riverside town of Shrewsbury for the next 2 nights.
This morning, travel into the heart of North Wales. You will visit the picturesque medieval castle of Conwy, built by Edward I in the late 13th century. You will also explore the impressive mountain scenery of Snowdonia National Park including the huge Dinorwic slate quarries and the dramatic Pass of Llanberis in the shadows of Snowdon - Wales' highest peak. Hear tales of Owain Glyndwr and the Welsh struggles for independence before travelling back through the borderlands into England. (B)
To the northeast of Shrewsbury lie the hills of the Peak District National Park with a mixture of stunning scenery and beautiful little villages. You will take a scenic route through the park to the village of Castleton. In the afternoon, you can visit the famous mansion house and gardens of Chatsworth, home to the Cavendish family and the Duke of Devonshire. Chatsworth is often named the UK's favorite country house and a visit will reveal some of the finest collections of furniture, priceless paintings, Old Master drawings, and neo-classical sculptures. From here, travel east out of the hills to the wonderful historic city of York where you will spend the next 3 nights. (B)
Today, you have a choice of things to do. You can spend the whole day at leisure exploring the medieval heart of York, a city whose rich history goes back to the time of the Romans, Vikings, and Normans. Visit some of the fascinating museums, the amazing York Minster, or just lose yourself in the maze of narrow streets and ancient city walls. Alternatively, you could join your guide on a half-day excursion into the Yorkshire Dales, visiting the historic market towns of Knaresborough or Ripon and some of the attractive little villages and beautiful countryside of the Eastern Dales, followed by a free afternoon in York. (B)
Spend some more time exploring York before heading to the magnificent North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Lunch will be in Whitby, a bustling fishing port and the inspiration for the fertile imagination of the author Bram Stoker, who stayed in the Royal Hotel on the western side of Whitby while writing his famous novel Dracula. After lunch, and free time in Whitby, travel to the fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay, a perfectly preserved conservation village of winding lanes and narrow alleys, before returning to York. (B)
The minibus cannot access the main village because of local restrictions. The coach will drop you at the top of the village and you must walk down (and back up!) a steep hill to reach the old village center.
Head west into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Established in 1954, the park has outstanding scenery, a range of wildlife habitats, and a rich cultural heritage. It's a special place – a fantastic outdoor arena for recreation and peaceful relaxation and a haven for wildlife. Continuing west, your route will take you through the Northern Dales, an area of outstanding natural beauty, that is the center of the Dales cattle trade. Your final leg of today's journey will take you high up into the remote hills of the Yorkshire Dales before descending into the lively market town of Keswick where you will be dropped off at your hotel and are then free to explore this charming town. (B)
During July this tour may stay in Windermere instead.
After breakfast, head a short distance out of town to the mysterious Castlerigg Standing Stones, thought by many to have been built over 5,000 years ago and the scene of ancient rituals. Travel on to the shores of Ullswater, described as England's most beautiful lake, where you can take a forest walk to see the mighty Aira Force waterfall. Continuing south over the narrow and winding Kirkstone Pass, stop at Windermere where you have the option to take a leisurely cruise on the water or simply eat lunch while enjoying views of the mountains and lakes. After lunch, travel around the southern tip of Windermere and on towards Coniston Water after which you will arrive at the picturesque conservation village of Hawkeshead. After free time to explore the village, take the narrow country lanes north towards Grasmere. There is free time to visit Wordsworth's Dove Cottage or enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Wordsworth Daffodil Garden by the River Rothy. In the late afternoon, return to Keswick. (B)
Leaving the Lakes behind you, start your climb of Hartside Pass which stands at over 1,900 ft. On a clear day the hills and mountains of Scotland and the English Lake District are clearly visible as you follow the route of the old sheep drovers between England and Scotland. Stopping at Hadrian's Wall, built by Emperor Hadrian to keep the Scots out of the Roman Empire, there is an opportunity to explore some of the Roman remains and walk in the footsteps of the Roman Centurions who patrolled this desolate frontier. Following the ancient Roman Dere Street, cross into Scotland and continue on to the border town of Jedburgh for refreshments in the shadow of the ruins of Jedburgh Abbey. Your final stop is at the world famous Scott's View, encompassing outlooks of the River Tweed and the Cheviot Hills that broadly form the Scottish-English border before continuing north to Edinburgh. Arrive in Edinburgh around 7 pm. (B)

I haven't written a post on frugality in a while and, seeing as I will need to be more frugal than ever in the super near future, I figured I should up my ante on that again! I'm going to share some of my current, favorite ways to save money in no particular order. As always, feel free to share any that come to mind in the comments. I often get really good suggestions of things I've never thought of from YOU! If any of these are a repeat from my previous posts, well.... all I've got to say is you have a way better memory than I do! ;)
Stacy's Current Ways to Save!
- Chocolate banana peanut butter smoothies for breakfast. It's a mouthful, literally! I buy one of those giant jars of peanut butter, a thing of unsweetened cocoa powder, bananas, and milk. I only replenish the bananas (cheap!) and milk (not since I drink organic) each week. Throw in 6 ice cubes, 1.5 cups of milk, whatever amount of peanut butter you want (I do 2 servings because I'm doing the Brewer's diet), about a 1/2 tablespoon of the cocoa powder, and just break the banana into chunks. Blend it all, pour, and you have a tasty smoothie for very little money each week. It makes a big smoothie, so you could get 2 child portions out of it, or use slightly less for a smaller adult portion. So much cheaper than eating cereal, and a lot better since you are getting protein, dairy, and a fruit. The only annoying part is washing the blender every day! Hint: be careful upping the cocoa powder. I was using more for a while until I connected it with some.... stomach discomfort.
- Rubbing alcohol and peroxide (50/50 mix) as carpet cleaner. It continues to amaze me how well it works, even if it does stink a little going on. When we had our carpets professionally cleaned upon moving in, the cleaner guy gave us that recipe to use for touch ups. I don't think we've found a stain yet that it can't handle, and it is so much cheaper and less chemically than store bought cleaners! Even when we were using the green enzyme stuff, we were still spending a ton more than we do on this. You can put it in a spray bottle, or just pour it right on the stain (I do the latter).
- On that same token, we're still going strong with a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar for household cleaning. I usually add quite a few drops (40 or so) of essential oil to it, orange being my favorite, but I ran out and this bottle doesn't have any. It works perfectly, you get used to the scent which fades quickly, and we clean for the whole year for the cost of one of those giant bottles of white vinegar. Technically longer since it will probably take us longer than a year to use that up! I use it on everything but wood, which we don't have much of. I just use a microfiber cloth on wood, so also nothing to purchase routinely there! But really, we use it in the bathroom, kitchen, on glass, to mop floors, etc.
- Target's Cartwheel App. If you aren't using it, you really need to be. I have saved anywhere between $8 and $12 on a shopping trip with the app alone, and those are NOT on huge purchases. I think the $12 came off of a $60 purchase and brought me down to $48 before coupons! It isn't the most intuitive app, but once you figure it out, it's pretty easy. I just check it before going to Target so I don't have to fiddle with anything but the barcode in the store. FYI: watch out for the trap of buying things you wouldn't have otherwise ;).
- Re-purpose everything! I've still got a long way to go on this, but any start is a good start. When we have clothing that gets ratty, like socks or tshirts, I cut them up into rags and put them in a container in the bathroom. We can then use those for cleaning, especially cleaning up messes where you might not want to re-use it. Since it's already on it's second use, it's ok if you want to throw it away (although if you re-use it, you are just saving more and more money!). We rarely use papertowels for anything any more, which is a huge cost savings because we used to go through probably a roll a week. Now I'd say it takes us a good month or so to go through a roll, if not longer. Another thing we repurpose is newspaper. We get a free paper twice a week and, if we have no projects, it goes straight into the recycle bin. But it's a great thing to use as a drop cloth for painting and other projects. Just make sure you layer it pretty thick!
- Never, ever, ever purchase something online without googling a coupon code. The site Retail Me Not usually has the best codes with little hassle. I save money on online purchases all the time doing this! I only ever buy things that I'm going to buy regardless, but finding a coupon code for them is like icing on the cake- especially if the item was already on sale!
Hit me! What are your current savings go to tips?

To start - a little update from yesterday's blog.
Today I noticed the point come up again in regards to thinking about a topic. for my blog but instead of worrying about it, or becoming anxious on what I would end up writing, the correction immediately came up - specifically what I wrote about yesterday in terms of how I could change this reaction, and rather deal with it constructively. So while I thought about what I could write a blog about before it was time to even write a blog, there was no emotions attached it it, and right away I told myself I will think of it in the moment - when I actually sit down to write a blog. Deal with it when the times come, and so now let it go. And I was able to. So that was quite a cool point in terms of having that correction 'in place' to support when the thoughts about a topic to write about came up again. Awesome to see so directly how those corrective statements do actually support - like a real time reference.
One point that has come up a lot in the past year - especially in relation to this process, and the whole group dynamic - is that when I've considered doing more blogging and vlogging, I will use the excuse that others have already done it to not do it myself.
For example. Say I want to start vlogging more. Then someone comes out with a 21 days of vlogging, or a challenge to record themselves more. I will think it's so cool they are doing it... yet I will use it as a point of self-disempowerment for myself. I will think, "well they are already doing it... I can't do it now" or "I don't want to look like I'm copying them" or "what's the point - it's already being done."
So it's like a point of comparison in that I will see others doing things I think about doing myself, but use the fact that 'they are already doing it' as an apparent reason I can't or shouldn't. I know it's absolutely absurd, but the fact that it has come up multiple times reveals it's something to consider and change.
The more the merrier from my perspective. It would be amazing if we had daily bloggers and vloggers going at it every day sharing common sense, and self-honesty, and principles that consider what is best for all. That is really how we are going to get more on board, and eventually change the world - showing how it's done through our own living example, and sharing our unique perspective. Because while there are so many of us walking process, and even more in this life, we so could perhaps overlap on certain topics... we all have our unique perspective and understanding to share. The fact that another person is doing something you would like to do for yourself should never be a reason you don't do it... if anything it should inspire you to do is also. If they can do you, so can you. It shows can be done.
So as far as I can see - the whole excuse that 'it's already being done' is not valid at all and should not be tolerated. It's just a scapegoat to keep oneself hidden, and in their comfort zone - not having to stand up and share... not having to face fears, or potential ridicule, or disagreement. Basically letting our ego get in the way.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use the excuse that because others are blogging and vlogging that means I shouldn't
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think, "I don't want others to think I'm copying them" when I consider doing more blogs and vlogs yet I see others doing it before I have taken the action
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think "it's already being done" as if the blogging and vlogging world can be monopolized by only a few and thus that is all that is allowed to do it
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use other's process within blogging and vlogging as a point of self-disempowerment for myself wherein I tell myself I can't do it because they are already doing it... in this actually only comparing myself to others, and placing myself in a position as less then them, and thus not worthy to share myself
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to compare myself to others within process and see myself as inferior as saying 'they are doing it, so I shouldn't' - as if to say their way is the only way, or the right way, and I should just be quiet
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to project my own inferiority, insecurity and self-judgment unto others as thinking their activities online through blogging and vlogging is the reason I feel I can't step up more and share more... when really I'm using it only as a scapegoat to remain in the comfort of my own security as in being silent - not exposing myself.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think if I don't expose myself then I wont be hurt as having to face my own insecurities, self judgments, and comparisons
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think and believe that my perspective is not worth sharing, and that if others are sharing, that's good enough instead of realizing I am here, and thus I have something to share - a unique perspective all individuals have, and if only all were to step up and share their common sense and their process of change as being a living example of what it takes - perhaps this world would change a little quicker
I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to give myself permission to share openly, equally with others, without comparison but rather in addition to - adding to other's perspective, giving another dimension, or expanding on a point
I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see others sharing within vlogging and blogging as a point of support for me - showing what is possible, and being an example to learn from
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to give more value to only a few within the group, and not myself, as the voices that should be heard
When and as I see myself existing within/as the back chat of, "they are already doing a blogging or vlogging challenge - or they have already shared on this point I wanted to share" I stop and I breathe. I see, realize, and understand that I am only comparing myself to others, and using it as a point to dis-empower myself, rather then empowering myself in seeing what is possible... and using others as the examples they are of what it takes, and what it means to live one's utmost potential. I commit myself to stop the back chats in my mind that only fuel the idea that I must compare, and that I must remain silent, and because 'they do it, I can't.'
When and as I see myself existing within/as the back chat, "it's already being done" in relation to others within the group sharing themselves within blogging, and vlogging, I stop and I breathe. I see, realize, and understand these irrational thoughts implies the internet has to be monopolized and only one or only a few are able to share their voice when in reality this process is about honoring and nurturing each one's unique voice, that is equal in value, yet different based on experience and can ultimately lead to the same outcome as realizing, and living what is best for all. And so I commit myself to stop thinking only a few should share, and rather see how I can expand and support myself to change through blogging and vlogging as nurturing my voice, my perspective, and my ability to communicate to others what is possible within/as our lives, and so this world
I commit myself to share regardless of what others are doing, as it's not about them, but about me... who I am within what I do, the starting point to who I am
I commit myself to share more openly about who I am, and the perspective I have as a point of honoring and nurturing my unique expression and perspective
I commit myself to stop dis-empowering myself when I see others sharing, and rather be grateful for the fact that there are people in this world willing to stand up, expose themselves, and share common sense, best for all perspectives

What's in a Name?
Sharing a name with an infamous person is driving me crazy.
Get "Dear Prudence" delivered to your inbox each week; click here to sign up. Please send your questions for publication to email@example.com. (Questions may be edited.)
Dear Prudence,
An individual with the same name as mine has recently been in the news. A lot. For some not very nice things. It's not simply the supposedly "just joking" jibes from friends and co-workers I'm enduring. I'm not looking forward to going through the rest of my life guilty by association. Besides growing rhino skin or changing my name, how do I deal with this, other than repeating over and over that I am ...
—Not That Mark Foley
Dear Congressman … I mean, Dear Not,
Yes, you're in for a siege of "Hey, don't ask my son for his e-mail address!" jokes, but you're probably looking at weeks or possibly months, not a lifetime of this. In response, you can smile wanly and sigh, "I haven't heard that one in about 20 minutes," as you wait for the next scandal to take the congressman off the front pages and out of people's minds. If new acquaintances from work or elsewhere inquire as to whether you used to represent Palm Beach, just say, "No, fortunately, we're not related." It's true there are some names that never lose their power to evoke disgrace—it's good not to be named Fatty Arbuckle or Benedict Arnold. But Rep. Dan Crane was once the scandal du jour for having sex with a female page. I'm sure the other Dan Cranes of the world no longer have to explain they're not "that" Dan Crane.
Dear Prudie,
Although I was raised in a Jerry Springer-type family, I have had the opportunity in my life to go to college and get a good job. Through a lot of luck, you could call me middle class now. My humble start has created some problems for me. Over time, I have tried hard to learn better manners and social skills, but I always feel uncomfortable and inadequate socially when I am with my colleagues and peers. However, I also don't feel I can entirely relate to people from my background and I feel terrible when I realize that I'm probably a snob. It's a conflict that extends not only professionally, but socially, romantically. I would probably be more comfortable with a simple small-town man, but I want someone who can fit in to my world. I believe I have the right to live my dreams, but I often feel that in pursuing them, I have moved into a life that is isolated and uncomfortable. I can learn many things, but I don't know how to learn the social skills I need, or how to be more comfortable or relate to people who were raised in such a different way, and I am tired of feeling like a fake.
—Torn Between Two Cultures
Dear Torn,
What do you mean when you say you can't relate to people from your background? Are you referring to fellow Jerry Springer Show escapees (and if they escaped, too, you should have a lot to relate to), or to people from modest circumstances? If it's the latter, you are a snob if you think someone's economic background determines their social skills or character. As for having more opportunities than your parents—that's called the American Dream. Did Bill Clinton's childhood prepare him to lead the life he has? Or Oprah Winfrey's? If you feel uncomfortable about your manners, read a couple of volumes on etiquette: Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior and Emily Post's Etiquette are good places to start. Yes, you will learn how to eat snails and what to do in a receiving line. But most of all you will see you've probably already figured out the mystery of much social behavior—it's about being gracious to others and at ease with yourself. Another secret: No matter how privileged your colleagues' backgrounds, every one of them has moments of doubt and awkwardness. Stop worrying that you don't belong, and be glad that your brains and hard work have gotten you to such a rewarding place in life. Once you accept this, you will naturally start feeling less isolated because you will stop being so harsh toward yourself, and others.
Dear Prudence,
I am a college freshman staying in a triple dorm room. My first few weeks have been fun, hanging out with my roommates and the friends we've made doing our respective activities. All was well until a mutual friend came to me and told me that my roommates had started coming up with schemes and ruses to ditch me when they do activities. I have since verified this through other means, including overhearing one of these planning sessions when they thought I was asleep. I'm confused and wondering what my next move should be; I'm in this room for the remainder of the year, since the university barely has enough housing to accommodate everyone in triples, so I can't switch rooms. My roommates both seem like good people who are fun to be around and I would want to continue hanging out with, a feeling that is apparently not shared. The nature of communal living means I can't just ignore them, a course of action I might otherwise have taken. Should I confront them, pretend to be aloof, or do something else?
—Confused in College
Dear College,
First, check in with the housing office. There may be other people in triple drama rooms equally eager to flee. In many situations in life, confronting the unpleasantness head-on is the best way to go. But in the case of these mean girls, it will probably only thrill them to see that they have gotten to you. What you need to do is stay friendly, while reducing their ability to bother you. (I wouldn't go the route of Mean Girls, which requires you to adopt their dark ways; or of Heathers, which calls for homicide.) Your greatest strength is the fact that they can't ditch you if you don't want to go. Since you are enjoying your new college experience, keep having fun. Throw yourself into classes, join some campus clubs. You will be so busy, and making so many new friends, that you will spend minimal time in the dorm. How frustrating for your roommates to cook up little conspiracies to leave you out when you're not there. Since you're generous enough to say you enjoy this pair, perhaps over time they will begin to grow up and drop the games. If so, you can (cautiously) start socializing with them. If not, you'll be done with them by the spring.
Dear Prudie,
I have a wonderful husband, but here's my problem: I'm high-strung and he has all sorts of nervous tics. When he reads or watches TV, he wiggles his leg or scratches his hair or eyebrows or picks at his cuticles or hums under his breath. We are in a completely negative dynamic where I'm always saying, "Please don't … [whatever]." He says that I won't let him breathe. I say that I can't relax with all this activity going on. I've tried hard to just to ignore it. I've suggested that he might ask his doctor whether these tics have a medical basis, but that just incenses him. Any advice on how to end this negative spiral?
—Want To Relax
Dear Relax,
During your courtship, did you happen to notice that he had shpilkes? Did you find his leg wiggling endearing then? You married a guy who fidgets; possibly he has a mild form of Tourette's syndrome. But he's at peace with himself and there aren't really good treatments for ants in the pants, so why try to force a diagnosis? As far as medication is concerned, it would probably be easier to treat your anxiety. But I'm not recommending either of you take drugs in order to spend an agreeable evening together. Since you're the one going berserk because of his tics, you need to address your own reaction. Take some yoga classes, then practice the breathing techniques when you feel the urge to chop off his wiggling legs. And try this change in perspective. Imagine you get a phone call that your wonderful husband has died. Would you think, "Well, that's too bad, but now at least I can watch TV in peace"? No, you'd give anything to have your Energizer Bunny back on the couch next to you.


text: Again another god awful month for me personal and I'm suprised I got what reading I did do, done! But I got a good few great reads in before things started going to crap. Let me know if you read any of these fantastic reads and what you thought of them. I'm hoping I get my groove back in September. I love September, not only is it Autumn but my birthday is in September so I always love this month.

Baton Rouge, LA - Entergy Louisiana recently donated $180,000 to LSU's College of Engineering to create the Entergy Louisiana Professorship in Power Engineering. This gift is in addition to the company's $1M commitment in support of a research laboratory and classroom complex in the renovation and expansion of the College of Engineering's facilities.
"Entergy Louisiana remains a steadfast supporter of LSU's College of Engineering," says Rick Koubek, Bert S. Turner Chair and Dean. "We are grateful for this most recent show of support for our faculty to further advance research and teaching around Louisiana's critical power infrastructure."
Entergy Louisiana and its employees have committed over $2M to LSU's College of Engineering since 1993. This recent gift will fund a professorship in the Division of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, which automatically qualifies for a Louisiana Board of Regents state match of $120,000.
"Entergy is pleased to continue collaborative efforts with LSU to continue to support the growth in the College of Engineering. Helping to fund a professorship in Power within the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department will assist in extending classes in this growing area," said Dennis Dawsey, Louisiana Entergy Vice President of Customer Service.
Named professorships are critical for attracting and retaining outstanding faculty who, in turn, attract top students at the graduate and undergraduate level. Funds generated from endowed professorships offset the cost of research equipment; provide funding for graduate student support and other expenses critical to the advancement of faculty research. The Entergy Louisiana Professorship in Power Engineering is the 19th professorship for the Division of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Members of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues met on Monday and Tuesday to discuss the ethical considerations of conducting clinical medical countermeasure trials with children.
The Miami meeting took place after a careful and transparent review of the many challenging and complex issues related to the research. The research into countermeasures for anthrax and other biological agents could carry some risk to protect children from events that have an unknowable likelihood of happening.
"We are more resistant in this case to research than we were in the genome project," Christine Grady, an R.N. and a member of the commission, said. "I think that the reason we are is because it's MCM research. I don't think anybody around this table is saying that research with children in general is not a good thing if it finds ways to treat children who are ill, or prevents illness in children. The issue here of course ... is that these are conditions that may never happen, that we hope never will happen, and so we're sort of balancing a different kind of need than we would be if it was studying a treatment for a disease that kids have."
Last week, the Alliance for Human Research Protection accused the Obama administration of using the public meeting of the commission to plan to test MCMs on unprotected children who are legally incapable of giving informed consent.
"(In post-event research) there are still ethical guidelines, but they have a different implication when children stand to directly benefit from research," Amy Gutmann, the commission chair, said. "And then you impose no more than necessary risk. Risk has to be proportionate to the benefit and you still want the informed consent of parents and if possible of children, but there is a direct benefit to the child and that makes all the difference and we absolutely will make sure we articulate that in the report."
Col. Nelson Michael, another member of the commission, said that if studies took place at all, they would be conducted with the least risk possible for children.
"At previous meetings, we heard from experts that, as a result of routine distribution to members of the military, (anthrax vaccine adsorbed) has been studied with young adult populations; and, observational studies with young adults have contributed to our knowledge about the safety and immunogenicity of AVA," Michael said. "Yet, some experts have also told us that additional data from adult populations-information, for example, from dose sparing studies-is needed before pediatric testing can begin. In the future, with existing information and additional data from young adults, it may be possible to design AVA research with 16 and 17 year-olds that involves only minimal risk."
The meeting was the commission's fourth on the topic. The commission advises the president on bioethical issues related to advances in biomedicine, technology and science and identifies and promotes practices that ensure ethical and social responsibility of scientific research, healthcare delivery and technological innovation.

The news and my friends are abuzz with the video of what some say is a missile launch 36 miles west of Los Angeles Monday evening. My short answer – in the tradition of Mark Twain is: "I don't know!" The Pentagon is officially puzzled, and some are trying to say it was the contrail of a jet liner. Yeah, right! So here is what I think it was:
A Red Chinese submarine-launched JL-2 ballistic missile fired as what we in the military call a demonstration or a show of force.
Well hell Mike, why wouldn't our Navy be all over this like white on rice?
Because the Pacific Ocean is very big, and we can't cover all of it.
Because the Chinese have made tremendous advances in their submarine and missile technology in the past 15 years – thanks to the fact we're making them rich, and we're damn near handing them our technology.
Because Obama has ZERO interest in military matters. Such things are totally beneath him.
Because the Chinese have always taken a multi-generational view of strategy, and they intend to push us out of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Because the Chinese have at least 1,300,000,000 mouths to feed and we look like a big poorly-defended farm to them.
Because with 1,300,000,000 mouths to feed, the Chinese could risk a nuclear exchange with us, lose 300,000,000, and still have a BILLION people left – with every American city a smoking crater.
OK, so why launch a missile right now, and why off the coast of California?
A couple of reasons. First the Chinese are in some economic and political trouble at home. While half their people are enjoying a 21st Century industrial lifestyle in the cities along the coast, – the other half is still barefoot in the country. The last of the old Commies are dying like flies, and with them the religious fervor of Maoism. There ~ is ~ a chance that modern China could break up into something resembling the ancient kingdoms. So it is very useful to keep the people focused on a 'common enemy' – the USA.
Second: The Chinese government is really pissed at the Fed's decision to print $600 billion of monopoly money to buy treasury bonds, – on top of all the borrowing we've already done. In the short term this could leave the Chinese government holding a big empty bag.
Third: The Chinese have already sized up Obama. They probably know more about him than Michelle does, and they are fully aware of his shortfalls and weaknesses. His Muslim roots and Islamic sympathies worry them because they're having their own problems with the Muslim part of their own population. Every time he coddles up to a group of Muslim terrorists – Hezbollah, Hamas, al Qaeda, the Taliban, – it worries and pisses them off. They surely took notice when he spent only 5 minutes visiting his half-brother there. It proved to them that he doesn't really care about anybody.
Fourth: With Obama going on his Royal Tour – to include their Asian rival India – they wanted to make the point that THEY are the country he should be sucking up to. They see his extravagant visit to India and Indonesia as being a bit 'in their face'.
Think of it this way: Think about how you would feel if you rented a house to someone like Obama, and he got behind on his rent – by several months – then bought a Cadillac Escalade and went to Atlantic City and Vegas with your credit card? Would you be saying "WTF?"
So, . . . they just got 'in his face'. They demonstrated that they can AT WILL destroy two or three dozen American cities – all within minutes.
How'd they do it?
I'm guessing with one of their newer diesel/electric submarines. These are ultra-quiet, and even when they need to surface to recharge batteries by running on diesel, only their intake snorkel needs to be above water. On radar it would be hard to distinguish from any of the junk plastic floating in the ocean. Simply park off Los Angeles, – wait for orders – shoot a JL-2 from under water – then scoot away a couple of hundred miles and sit on the bottom for a few days.
Then they could sneak back to China undetected by sailing under a returning container ship.
This 'shot heard 'round the world' is marketing coup! Potential customers like Venezuela, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil will take full notice. Now the Russians will have to try to match this. Remember back in April 2008 when a Chinese sub managed to slip past the escorts and surface next to the Kitty Hawk? This is an arms sales race!
Today China has a new naval hero, but it may be ten years before they tell the story.
Around the world every military expert and analyst knows that Obama just got a very public bitch-slapping. The only question is: will Valerie Jarrett tell him? After all, she is no Condoleezza Rice. Rahm Emanuel – who would have figured it out – is busy running for mayor in Chicago.
After such a public bitch-slapping, the next two years of foreign policy is going to become increasingly rough on Obama. Soon the only friends he'll have overseas will be the terrorist groups, . . . and of course George Soros.

Maryland recently published the 2018 version of their Withholding Tax Facts, which is a publication that details certain information relating to withholding taxes on a state and local level in Maryland.
Other than changes in the listed years in the publication (from 2017 to 2018), the only relevant update is a change in the domain name for the Maryland Taxes website. Previously located at a .com domain name, the publication lists the new domain at www.marylandtaxes.gov. While both domain names currently direct to the same site, electronic filers and EFT payers should take notice as this signals a change to the new domain name in 2018.

US labour news headlines from LabourStart
Fellow Pilots,
In the coming weeks, this pilot group will be faced with a difficult decision: to remain a unionized group or to decertify the union and become at-will employees. With a steady stream of disinformation coming from the OneSky decertification effort, this choice may prove to be a challenging one for some. However, Local 1108 wants to ensure every pilot has access to the information needed to make an informed decision. With this in mind, Union Leadership will allow all pilots access to the Local 1108 Virtual Union Hall (VUH). With the single exception of members of management, all pilots will be able to read the information posted on the VUH and participate in the conversation by responding with his or her own reply.
Union representatives hope this will allow for the free exchange of information concerning the choice sitting before the pilot group. As a reminder, Local 1108 leaders ask that the exchanges on the VUH remain respectful and courteous.
To register for access, please visit the VUH website at http://forum.ibt1108.org, and follow the next several steps:
Union Leadership looks forward to providing information, answering questions and having a candid discussion about the collective future of the pilot group.
In Unity,
The IBT Local 1108 Executive Board
Efrem Vojta, President
Scott Denison, Vice President
AJ McAnelly, Secretary-Treasurer
Gary Glore, Recording-Secretary

"Get away from it all at this hideaway resort on the "best beach in Asia" in the off-the-beaten-track Andaman Islands"
Its beautifully designed cottages and villas are hidden among 7 acres of grounds, their hardwood walls and conical thatch roofs blending into the tropical foliage. You get basic comforts (modern plumbing, hot water, and air-conditioning or ceiling fans), a restaurant/bar and an exhilarating closeness to nature. The Barefoot philosophy means a minimal environmental footprint, so only indigenous materials are used, rainwater is harvested and most staff are local. Venture out and you can kayak through mangrove creeks, snorkel or dive the reefs, and camp on a deserted island; stay put and there's yoga, Ayurvedic spa treatments, birdwatching and a blissful beach. Barefoot at Havelock is perfect if you're looking for an unpretentious hideaway on one of the world's last undeveloped tropical islands.
- Having revisited in 2015, the unspoilt Andaman Islands remain one of the few tropical island groups undiscoverd by the masses
- Barefoot is the only hotel set on the quirkily named Beach No. 7 - "the best beach in Asia" according to Time magazine
- An ideal spot to relax, meditate and commune with nature
- A great base for adventures, with hiking, fishing, kayaking and some world-class diving on the doorstep
- The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable
- Quite cut off from the rest of the world, with little phone signal and no internet, but that's what makes the islands so special
- Secluded Barefoot is on the other side of the island from towns, so you'll need transport (perhaps a moped) to reach 'civilisation'
- Unfortunately for divers the last El Niño caused extensive coral bleaching - they are only just starting to grow back
- The nocturnal forest sounds can be irritating if you're a light sleeper
- This is the tropics, so expect the occasional shower even in the dry season
Best time to go
Diving is best between November and April. Game fishing is best from mid-January to mid-March, which is also when turtles nest and dugongs come to feed on the sea-grass at Beach No. 7."
Our top tips
- You'll need at least a week here, as it's such a long haul to reach the islands. Leave your laptop and mobile phone behind, and take off your watch and shoes when you arrive...
- Hire a moped, it's a really fun way to zip around the island, catching the sun rising on one coast and setting on the other

Scattered amongst tropical foliage and connected by winding pathways, the cottages and villas are constructed from natural, regenerable materials and raised on stilts - for a (literally) minimal footprint!
We stayed in one of the simple air-conditioned Nicobari Cottages, though we actually preferred their traditional structure and design. Lovely and cool inside, we slept in a beautiful big wooden four-poster (netted) and whiled away our afternoons on the porch's comfy daybed. The leaves of the thatched ceilings sometimes shift to show a little sky; if raindrops fall, staff come to add another layer. The innovative step-ladder entrance folds back on itself, to prevent friendly wildlife from inviting themselves in.
Squarer and more contemporary, the air-conditioned Andaman Villas have wood-shingled roofs and large floor-to-ceiling windows behind sliding shutters. A terrace runs along each building, and bathrooms have glass-roofed showers with jungle views; the skylight can be raised to let in fresh air.
The fan-cooled Duplex Cottage is ideal for honeymooners or families, with a mezzanine-level bedroom and bathroom, and an upper-level day room that's open to the rainforest on 3 sides.
More stylish still is the fan-cooled Nicobari Villa: formed from a pair of connected Nicobar-style circular structures to make an unusual hideaway for 2. One half contains a four-poster bedroom and a small sit-out leading to a private courtyard. The other half contains an ensuite with circular shower and sliding doors to the deck. Throughout, curved louvred shuttered walls flip open or shut for ventilation or privacy.
Features include:
- Extra beds
- Fan/air-conditioning
- Mosquito net
Lunches and dinners include northern and southern Indian food, plus many Thai dishes. There's also a good range of pasta, as the sous chef is from Italy.
Of course, being on an island, seafood features most prominently. The nightly special has usually been brought straight of the fishing boat - perhaps a large lobster or crab, whole fish steamed in banana leaves, or huge tiger prawns. An amazing treat for the tastebuds. If you get lucky on your own fishing trip, your catch can be cooked to order - grilled, fried or curried.
The Lounge bar has Indian wines, beers and spirits. The bartenders are fantastic, mixing up any number of cocktails. One bartender even grows his own mint for the mojitos. Low-level tables and bolstered divans are filled with guests chatting, playing games or reading, lit by aromatic candles. A small kitchen serves Indian snacks such as grilled kebabs with marinades.
Breakfasts alternate between spicy sambhar (lentil curry) with idlies (steamed rice cakes) or dosas (pancakes), and a full English menu.
If you fancy eating out, head over to Beach No. 5 where there's a sociable vibe amongst the various eateries (15-minute moped ride). The pick of the bunch is Full Moon Café: always rammed, great beachside setting, really lovely owners and the best grub (fresh, imaginative seafood dishes, tasty twists on Indian classics and fresh-squeezed juices).
Features include:
- Bar
- Breakfast
- Organic produce
- Restaurant
- Vegetarian menu
- The Andaman's pristine waters are one of the last frontiers for scuba diving. Reefs abound with colourful fish, turtles, sting rays, dolphins and the occasional dugong. Barefoot have a professional dive centre offering PADI courses and recreational dive trips off Beach No.3
- Snorkelling is also great here: Beach No 7 has sea-grass beds or head though the mahua forest to Barefoot Cove's pretty reef and lagoon. Alternatively, take a dunghi (long-tail boat) to the deserted Elephant Beach, with its unspoiled reef
- Take the dunghi and fishing for your dinner, or land a catch from Barefoot's custom-made speedboat
- Borrow a kayak from the dive centre and explore the island's surrounding mangrove creeks and shallow reefs. We took an incredible nighttime guided kayak tour; the sky twinkled with thousands of stars and the sea's dazzling bioluminescence did its best to compete
- The bamboo and thatch pavilion offers Ayurvedic treatments (and longer programmes) overlooking the forest and lily pond, and yoga is available most of the year
- Resident field guides organise steep but rewarding nature hikes which take you among birds, butterflies and orchids to the hill overlooking the cove
- Island-hop. Button Islands' Marine National Park has spectacular snorkelling; overnight trips include remote Long Island (with barbecue) or Barren Island, India's only active volcano. There are also longer eco-tours to the Andamans' various conservation bases
N.B. Please note that some of these activities are not available during low season - check when you make your enquiry.
Activities on site or nearby include:
- Birdwatching
- Boat trips
- Fishing
- Hiking
- Kayaking
- Plantlife / flora
- Scuba diving
- Scuba diving courses
- Snorkelling
- Swimming
- Trekking
- Well being
- Wildlife
- Yoga
Though there are few facilities specifically geared for kids, all ages are welcome and adventurous youngsters will love kayaking and snorkelling.
Dedicated babysitters are not available, but staff are happy to entertain children while you're away on that romantic evening walk.
Family friendly accommodation:
The Duplex Cottage has 2 double beds (sleeps up to 6), and all cottages and villas can take an additional mattress. Maximum 2 children per cottage or villa.

What Causes Acid Reflux
Did you know that acid reflux could cause damage that is irreversible if left untreated? Do you know what acid reflux is and what causes it? If you suffer from acid reflux, it is time to read up on some tips to control it. You will find those tips in the article that follows.
Stay away from acidic foods. They can both cause and exacerbate acid reflux. While this is by no means a comprehensive list, try to avoid oranges, tomatoes, grapefruit and vinegar. If you can't cut them out of your diet completely, at least try to avoid eating them in the evenings, so acid reflux doesn't strike when it is time for bed.
When you eat high fat foods like fried chicken, your stomach empties very slowly. This allows it to become distended and your esophagus may fill up with acid. Choose healthier foods like lean proteins or beans to avoid this situation and you should be able to control your acid reflux like a pro.
To help avoid acid reflux, take your time and chew your food slowly. This technique helps you to avoid overeating. When you overeat, food is pressed in the top of your stomach; thus, it allows stomach acids to build up in you esophagus. For best results, eat small meals often.
Don't wear tight clothing. Belts, underwear, pantyhose and skinny jeans are some typical culprits. These things will put added pressure on the stomach. Heartburn symptoms will soon be on their way. Let your stomach breathe a little more by wearing comfortable clothing.
Keep a journal. If you can track when and what you are doing when you have an acid attack, you might be able to alter your life to eliminate those attacks. Write down what you eat, what you have done that day and if you have had any discomforts. You may be surprised at what you find and how easy it is to eliminate some of your problems.
If you experience issues after working out vigorously, there might be a simple solution. Try drinking more water. This will help to keep your body hydrated. Also, it aids in digestion. You can curb acid production in your stomach by using water to promote healthy digestion.
The food you consume each day will make a difference in your reflux. Avoiding acidic foods, peppers, greasy foods and alcoholic beverages could help. These foods and drinks could be causing the problem. Also, avoid eating less than three hours before you bed time. Going to bed with a full stomach could make for a rough night and morning.
When you complete your meal, do not lie down on your back or stomach. This position uses gravity to build up acid in your stomach, which is one of the main reasons why you get acid reflux and heartburn. Walk around your home or do the dishes after you eat to prevent this from happening.
You need to make sure that you are eating more slowly. Don't gorge, take your time. Be sure to sit at the table and eat slowly, chew carefully and savor your food. Eating too fast or past the point of feeling full can worsen your acid reflux. If you need assistance with this, simply put down your utensil following each bite that you take.
When working out to help your acid reflux, be cautious of what and when you consume food and beverages. Eating too soon or eating and drinking the wrong things can negate the positive effects of exercise for your reflux. You should wait at least two hours after a workout to eat. Don't drink sports drinks since their acidity can trigger your reflux.
Have an early dinner. Eating too close to bedtime is a prime cause of acid reflux. If your stomach is still digesting your dinner when you retire, the combination of increased stomach activity and a horizontal position is a recipe for disaster. Try to eat dinner a minimum of three hours before bed.
Now that you have read through all of the great tips and advice to help you with acid reflux, you should be better equipped to get a handle on it. You must know the symptoms and the causes if you are going to fight it. Keep these tips in mind as you live your life and you should notice less discomforts soon.

Update: You can download the actual 2006 branding report here. Download: Brand Israel Study
Richard Silverstein gave us this heads-up about Israel's latest efforts to bypass reality and win friends and gain influence. NYT reports the new $2 million effort to re-brand Israel:
"When we show Sderot, others also see Gaza," said Ido Aharoni, manager of a rebranding team at the Foreign Ministry. "Everything is twinned when seen through the conflict. The country needs to position itself as an attractive personality, to make outsiders see it in all its reality."
This is old news. Several years ago at the Jewish Federations General Assembly in LA, I watched in person as Tzipi Livni and friends announced with great fanfare their first re-branding effort. And boy, did it launch with a bang. That same month, before the latest Gaza war, and Netanyahu and Lieberman, mind you, Israel Today reported:
As if Israel's position in the world in not bad enough, a new survey published in the US Wednesday says that Israel is suffering from the worst public image among all countries of the world.The study, called the National Brands Index, conducted by government advisor Simon Anholt and powered by global market intelligence solutions provider GMI (Global Market Insite, Inc.), shows that Israel is at the bottom of the list by a considerable margin in the public's perception of its image.

Eventually discolors everything under the influence of sunlight! The lightfastness is a measure of the extent and rate of discoloration. Normal light stability: The product contains no special protection against the influence of sunlight. It will therefore discolour over time. The rate of discoloration is dependent on many factors, such as the amount of light in the room and the chosen color wallpaper. Because this is a smooth, continuous process, this will normally not be disturbing. The color difference will be noticeable when moving a painting or cabinet after some time.
You can make small marks on the wallpaper carefully remove with a damp soft cloth (possibly with a little mild soap, such as green soap)

One thing is for certain, Spring is here! It's definitely getting warmer and our days are getting longer. It is an exciting feeling knowing that the colder months are behind us - at least for now. As we come out to enjoy the warmer months, Andrew Akuoko reminds us perhaps it's also time to look at ways we can get our money matters in order!
Review your cashflow
Don't worry! I'm definitely not going to bore you with "spend less, save more" speeches. However, having a healthy cashflow allows you to maintain your current lifestyle – be it eating out, holidays, buying that dream car etc. It also gives you the opportunity to start thinking about the big things such as buying a home or investment property, investing in shares or even starting a small business. Understanding your money is essential for long term financial success.
Hot tip!!!
Salary Sacrifice your Income
If you're lucky enough to have an employer who'd allow you to salary sacrifice your income, this may be something worth considering. Simply put, salary sacrificing is an arrangement between you and your employer where your employer allows you to pay for certain items or services straight from your pre-tax income. This strategy can reduce your tax payable and give you more disposable income.
Protect what you cannot afford to lose
If something is important to you and you cannot afford to lose it, then protect it! For most of us, our incomes will probably be our biggest asset we'll ever have. The question to ask yourself will be this; "what will happen to my hopes and dreams if I cannot earn income due to sickness or injury"?
Hot Tip!!!
Pay attention! It's your money.
Every pay day, almost 10% of what you earn is taken away from you and put somewhere for your future financial needs. The question is, where does it go? Who takes care of it? Whose responsibility is it to ensure your money works harder for you? These are all important questions you must seek answers to.
Get a mentor and get started!
Spring is here and it's exciting! You have that dream to attain your financial freedom. Well, that dream remains a dream until you start doing something. To be successful with your money matters, it is important you seek appropriate advice from a qualified financial adviser who will work with you to achieve your dreams and aspirations, whatever they may be.

Methane and carbon dioxide emissions from 40 lakes along a north–south latitudinal transect in Alaska
Uncertainties in the magnitude and seasonality of various gas emission modes, particularly among different lake types, limit our ability to estimate methane (CH 4) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from northern lakes. Here we assessed the relationship between CH 4 and CO 2 emission modes in 40 lakes along a latitudinal transect in Alaska to lakes' physicochemical properties and geographic characteristics, including permafrost soil type surrounding lakes. Emission modes included direct ebullition, diffusion, storage flux, and a newly identified ice-bubble storage (IBS) flux. We found that all lakes were net sources of atmospheric CH 4 and CO 2, but the climate warming impact of lake CH 4 emissions was 2 times higher than that of CO 2. Ebullition and diffusion were the dominant modes of CH 4 and CO 2 emissions, respectively. IBS, ~10% of total annual CH 4 emissions, is the release to the atmosphere of seasonally ice-trapped bubbles when lake ice confining bubbles begins to melt in spring. IBS, which has not been explicitly accounted for in regional studies, increased the estimate of springtime emissions from our study lakes by 320%. Geographically, CH 4 emissions from stratified, mixotrophic interior Alaska thermokarst (thaw) lakes formed in icy, organic-richmore »

By Liz White, UT contributing editorMiddleton, UK-UK polyurethane processor Autothane has gained an award for its environmental management system, in the category of companies with fewer than 50 employees, at the Wales Environment Awards, organised by ARENA Network. This is a major achievement for the Wrexham-based moulder of microcellular polyurethane elastomer parts that employs just 25 people, said a statement from the firm's parent group British Vita plc. In its environmental approach, which enabled it to gain the award, Autothane changed several aspects of its process and worked with key suppliers to reduce production waste, improved waste segregation and increased its recycling activities and reduce water and energy consumption. Autothane manufactures precision PU mouldings for noise/vibration/harshness (NVH) control applications in automotive suspension systems. The firm engineers its Autothane-brand microcellular PU to tight specifications for automotive designers and constructors for end-uses in Formula 1 racing cars, passenger cars and heavy goods vehicles.Pictured receiving the award from Chris Hale (centre right), head of business & environment for the Welsh Assembly, are (l-r) Autothane's site manager Norman Filmer, quality manager Jo Woodward and admin & quality assistant Julie Jones."
