'DreamScapes' Collection coming August/September 2018
News from The Studio
Over the next few months the look of this website is going to change as I move in an exciting new direction.

You definitely don't have to be in a 'traditional' creative field to be pumping out creative energy. We do it all the time. Are you striving to find a cure for cancer? Are you a therapist? Are you a climate change advocate? Or perhaps you're a human resources manager trying to figure out the best way to problem solve. All of us use creative energy to problem solve in the best way possible everyday. And it can be utterly draining.
Nadiya recently moved to a new city with her fiancé. Together they set up their home to be a place where they could unwind at the end of a long day and kick back with a glass of wine and some nibbles. Nadiya's put out flowers in a vase in the entryway and hung a gallery wall of family photos in the hall. The space is all set up, both beautiful and functional but something is missing. There are blank spaces on her wall that are just… blank. Since moving to the city, Nadiya has walked past a small art gallery close to home a several times. A few beautiful pieces, both large and small have caught her eye. She knows from styling her wedding that decor makes a huge difference to the mood of a room. But as much as she wants to go into the gallery to inquire about a piece, she's just felt too intimidated to go in.
Okay, so I don't know about you, but spring just makes me long to reorganize and redecorate.
In this post I'm going to share a few of my favourite interior decor styles, share an actual mood board put together by a client featuring a couple of my paintings for her home office makeover (Psssst her favourite colour is pink!), share some questions and resources to help you find your own decor style

How did Barack Obama use his State of the Union address, in his own humble and prayerful way, to mark the fact that he is the 44th president of the United States?
He used one pronoun 44 times. Guess which one it was?
Why, there's no fooling you–you guessed. The pronoun was "I."
Yup, forty-four times that most humble of men who knows he is elected to serve the people managed to squeeze in a reminder of whom this speech was really about.
Remember, this is the same man who said, "I know that former President Carter, President Clinton, they understand the irony of the presidential office, which is the longer you're there, the more humble you become, and the more mindful you are that is beyond your powers individually to move this great country."
Guess what?
You guessed again, didn't you.
He was kidding.

The Story
It all starts with Mayor Jameson, clearly watching too many Batman movies, standing atop a building, boasting how he will now be running the city with Spider-Man arriving at his command. Spider-Man does arrive, but only to blow up Jameson's Spider-signal.
Spider-Man toys around with Jameson a little, by inflating his ego, right after blowing up his Spider-Signal.
In the police lab, Spider-Man makes some adjustments to his lens. Carlie immediately realizes that they did not need to be in the police lab, but that Spider-Man was simply pushing Jameson around. Meanwhile, ghost Peter is still hanging around, as he has been for the past two weeks. Once Spidey finishes with his lens, he then swings off, leaving Carlie behind, telling her he does not need her.
With his improved lens, he is now somehow able to easily locate the Vulture. While swinging to his destination, Ock Spidey recalls his first encounter with the Vulture. Suddenly, ghost Peter finds himself transported to the past, still a ghost, but able to see first hand everything that took place in Ock's past with the Vulture.
Back in real life, the magnetic trail that Spider-Man was following begins to get stronger. He stops recalling his past for a minute. Still in Ock's thoughts, ghost Peter, now in a Spider-Man costume realizes that everything has paused. He decides to continue snooping around however, just to see if he can find anything useful in Ock's past.
Back at the Vulture's lair, the little vultures return with everything the Vulture requested. He then rewards them with game tokens. Not long later, Spider-Man, who is really Doc Ock, comes into the picture. Recalling his past friendship with the Vulture, he offers the Vulture fifty million dollars to stop his evil ways once and for all.
The Vulture obviously does not believe him and sends his goons to attack. Spider-Man easily knocks one out, only to find that it is actually a child!
To me, this was a rather average issue. The Vulture gets taken out in the same issue he returns in. We discover a little more about Dr Octopus's past, which I honestly could not care about. Jameson is being toyed with by the new Spider-Man in this issue, even though he doesn't see it that way.
In this issue, we see that Ghost Peter is voicing some concern for Carlie's safety, seeing that it looks like she knows Spider-Man is no longer Peter Parker.
Anyway, till the next issue!

A home dehydrator may seem like some kind of extravagant foodie purchase, but they are more affordable these days and you will be pleasantly surprised at what you can use it for, its more than just something to activate nuts in! I have used mine for pancakes, wraps, kale chips, energy bars, soup, scones, all kinds of snacks and more besides. After years of using a very very loud excalibur 9 tray dehydrator, I was looking forward to seeing if Froothie had managed to make a quieter version. Fortunately I was sent a Optimum Dehydrator to review! Would it perform the same as the popular excalibur model, or perhaps even better?
With a similar look to the excalibur, the Optimum P200 is a sleeker machine that is narrower and a little easier to find room for than the excalibur, which does look a little bulky in comparison. It's light and easy to move around, if you want to store it out of the way when not in use. The Excalibur 9 tray that I have has a weird door to the front that you take right off in order to pull out trays for use, and then have to make sure its attached in the right way when you want to dry your food- its very easy to leave a gap and then the small amount of heat escapes. The Optimum on the other hand, you simply pull out the trays, which have easy to use handles, no fiddling or fuss. This is a huge design improvement and makes checking on your food quick and easy as well.
The Optimum performs just as well and drys food in the same time as the Excalibur. I've tried all my regular recipes in both and the performance is equal to each other, I don't notice any difference. The Optimum has a 40 hour digital timer, with an adjustable thermostat, where the Excalibur has a 26 hour timer.
This is where the Optimum P200 absolutely knocks the Excalibur out of the park. There is no comparison, one is irritatingly noisy and one is not. My Excalibur has always been put in a room with a door, or upstairs as it is currently, because the noise is too much. You can't have a conversation in the kitchen with it on, without getting pretty fed up. It is a major design flaw and if there had been an alternative machine of the same performance quality at the time I bought it, I would have sent it back. It is that bad. The Optimum P200 on the other hand, runs like a dream with minimal noise disturbance, it sits in our open plan kitchen and living area without annoying the heck out of me! This is Froothie's biggest advantage with their new dehydrators and makes it the better machine for us. Indeed we aren't keeping my excalibur, even though though its a 9 tray and my Optimum is just a 6 tray, the Froothie Optimum meets all the needs of our small family.
Now I have a dehydrator I can have in use while we are in the kitchen, I am using it more and in the coming weeks you will see some new raw recipes from me. I'm dying to try some more wraps, made from vegetables! And I think dehydrators are particularly useful for healthy snacks, they provide you with a way of 'cooking' without oil really easily. It's a good idea to make best use of having your dehydrator on and filing up the trays with lots of different things. If I am making something like kale chips that only use half the trays available, I use the opportunity to dry anything that might not last much longer, such as the shiitake mushrooms we buy in bulk through our delivery company, or even fruit that has gone a bit soft, just slice really thinly and lay on your trays for dried fruit useful as an ingredient or as a snack. I also make cookies in the dehydrator, which usually only take a few hours, so you can double up with something like granola or energy bars.
Overall, both machines are great, but the Optimum P200 by Froothie edges past the Excalibur in both design and noise so for me, is the best of the two. Now, back to some more food experiments, thats the fun part of what I do!
Try my previous raw recipes for the dehydrator:
Crunchy Super Seed Energy Bars
Here are some fantastic looking recipes from Raw Kiwi we'll be trying too!

i know i am typing these words on my keyboard and reading them on my screen, i dont have to imagine it
"True negates belief"
The definition of true is as follows:
In accordance with fact or reality. -https://www.google.com...
The definition of negate is as follows:
nullify; make ineffective. -https://www.google.com...
The definition of belief is as follows:
an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. -https://www.google.com...
Given the definitions, one must accept that one is typing words on their keyboard or reading them on their screen. Therefore, that which is fact or reality does not make ineffective the acceptance of something as fact or reality.
Therefore, that which is true does not negate belief in the situation given.
i dont have to imagine that i am reading these words, as i know i am
However, if one is to come to a point where one knows he is doing something, one must accept this something as fact or reality.
Thus, one must believe to know.
Unless my opponent can show how one needn't accept "x" as fact or reality to know "x" is fact or reality, my opponent has not made a solid argument.
what are you most certain of right now, what your neighbour is doing, or that you are reading these words?
acceptance of reality is not belief, and fact is knowledge
know is the opposite of belief and knowledge, and belief is the opposite of knowledge
acceptance is not necessarily belief
However, I have given sources to the definition of belief, which state that belief is an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. -https://www.google.com...
Therefore, given the definition of belief, if one is to accept the statement "I am reading these words", one must have belief.
Therefore, that which is true does not negate belief in this situation.
i know you cant read these words with your eyes closed
belief is always false, as only know is true
i accept i dont know=i accept reality
i accept imagination=belief
If belief is taken as defined, being the acceptance of a statement as true, then my opponent must accept the statement "belief is always false" as true. Therefore, my opponent must believe that "belief is always false". This is, again, self contradictory.
My opponent also equates the acceptance of imagination as belief. This is true, for if one accepts the concept of the process of imagination as true, they are believing in imagination. However, this is not an argument to further the position that what is true negates belief.
thats my point, if the statement is true then its not about belief.. not a religious claim
can you close your eyes and read on for me pls. and at the same time, try to believe that you can...
belief=be lie, as i dont know is true
reality is unbelieved, i cant believe in reality, and i cant know imagination
Two problems:
1. "It" is an ambiguous term. We do not know that "it" is, or what "it" is about, so we cannot say that "it" is not about belief.
2. The position that what is true negates belief is not furthered by the claim. It should not effect voting as it does not pertain to the topic.
Also, my opponent brings up religious claims. This also has nothing to do with the debate.
Next, my opponent asks me to close my eyes and read. I, obviously, cannot do that. But I can believe that I can read with my eyes closed.
My opponent's argument, if put into a more formal matter, goes like this:
1. Beliefs can contradict with reality.
2. What is true is what is reality.
3. Therefore, beliefs can contradict with what is true.
This argument only shows the existence of false beliefs, it does not further the position that what is true negates belief.
Furthermore, if one is to accept any of which is true, one must use belief. This implies that beliefs are true. However, in neither case does what is true negate belief.
Therefore, this argument should also not be convincing, as it does not further Pro's position.
My opponent ends with belief=be lie, which I frankly do not understand the point of.
Pro finishes his conclusion stating that reality is unbelieved (sic), and that one cannot believe in reality.
This is also false, as one can definitely accept a statement of reality as true. This means one can believe in reality, thus negating Pro's final claim.
Thank You.

|Stuart Fraser
|Portrayed by
|Colin McCredie
|Detective Constable
|1995 - 2010
|- None, but past boyfriends include the lying Andy, a nameless Red Cross worker, the "party animal" Jamie, a murder suspect named Tyler, and possibly the businessman Stephen Harding.
|- Annie (grandmother)
|- Unknown
Detective Constable Stuart Fraser (Colin McCredie) is a character in Taggart. Stuart was first introduced to the Taggart Team in the episode Black Orchid.
Fraser was revealed to be gay in the episode Angel Eyes, and his sexuality proved crucial to catching a murder. At the end of the episode, both Jackie and Stuart seemed to have their eye on the same man, the mysterious businessman Stephen Harding. When Stuart ended up with him and went off in his car, Jackie joked to Michael that "Life's a bitch." In the same episode, it was revealed that Fraser was being blackmailed by an old boyfriend called Andy who was also an compulsive lier and was one of the suspect in the murder investigation.
In A Taste of Money it is revealed that another old boyfriend of Fraser's, Tyler, is one of the suspects in a murder enquiry.
In the episode, A Study in Murder, it is revealed that Stuart was an adopted boy and he goes looking for his biological mother but the reunion does not go well.
Towards the end of the episode Law, he almost lost his life after being fatally stabbed during the investigation of a murder at a nearby fairground.
In Out of Bounds, when Stuart and the team investigated a murder at a school, he was taunted by his old PE teacher, Alex Milligan for how he was different from the other pupils. Milligan made Stuart's life hell.
Personality and appearanceEdit
Stuart is known for his lovable and innocent nature. He begins his career as a gentle, naive newbie, always willing to talk to people and geek out about researching things, which his colleagues find both endearing and exhausting. As he grows older his enthusiasm is tempered and he becomes calmer, but he is still always eager to learn.
He is described by his colleagues as "the only one of us likely to make a decent parent", an ironic observation as Stuart is gay.
He is usually always smartly dressed, is one of the few officers to wear sleeve-garters, has a natty taste in ties and ginger hair.
He finds it easy to get information out of frightened suspects, and is also the one relied upon by the rest of the team when they need to confide or need help. Stuart is also the most up-to-date member of the team and is good with technology and computers.
He is nicknamed Stuarty by DCI Burke at one point, and the name sticks.
DS Jackie ReidEdit
Out of all of his colleagues, Stuart is closest to Jackie Reid, as the two had worked together the longest out of the main foursome (Burke, Ross, Reid and Fraser.) Stuart first met her in the episode Black Orchid and they formed a close friendship.
She finds out about Stuart being gay in the episode, Angel Eyes and is the most accepting. She keeps his secret for as long as possible, and supports him when he is put at risk because of his sexuality. She fights his corner throughout the episode, even going round to a suspect's house to warn him off harrassing Stuart.
Jackie is shown to be fiercely protective of Stuart, and is upset and curt with her boss Burke when he suspends Stuart for a mistake in An Eye for an Eye. She keeps pushing until she proves that Stuart is actually an innocent victim, and visits him at home during his suspension to provide support.
The two often confide in each other, and Stuart is the first to congratulate her on her marriage. Stuart confides in Jackie about find out he was adopted, and the two are often seen looking out or covering for each other when in trouble.
DCI Michael JardineEdit
Jardine first met Stuart in the episode Black Orchid, but didn't find out that Fraser was gay until the episode Angel Eyes.
He was the only colleague to have problems with Stuart's sexuality, whereas Jackie and The Biscuit appeared to take it in their stride. Jardine was told to "unbutton it a little" by McVitie. Later on Jardine seemed to get over his mild homophobia, and Fraser and Jardine had a great working relationship. Over the series they became fairly close as boss and constable. (though not as close as Fraser's later boss, Burke would be.)
Fraser was devastated when Jardine died, and was the first to find out that his body had been discovered.
DCI Matthew BurkeEdit
Burke was Fraser's second boss, but over time they grew to have a somewhat closer working relationship than Jardine and Fraser. They first met Burke in the episode Death Trap when he arrived to replace DCI Michael Jardine. The first thing he said to Stuart was "Do your tie up, I've got nothing against shirt lifters, but I can't stand sloppy dressers."
Throughout the series Burke has no problems with Stuart's sexuality, and Stuart once even seemed relaxed enough to tell him about an old boyfriend who worked for the Red Cross while investigating a case together.
In their second episode, Fire, Burn there is a little bit of friction between the two as Burke is still trying to stamp his authority on the team and initially treats young Fraser as a bit of an errand-boy. However, Fraser quietly stands up for himself and contradicts Burke, insisting on following a different line of enquiry. This surprisingly wins him some respect from Burke, and praise in the form of a coffee when Stuart is proved partially right. Burke seems to respect a man who speaks up for himself, however junior and even chastises Robbie Ross for "letting the junior officers go over the top" first.
Burke often treats Fraser as a naive but useful protege, and relies on him for most technological issues. However, it is in An Eye For An Eye that their relationship is tested, as Burke wrongly believes Stuart to have been negligent and feckless on a job. Stuart is proved to be innocent at the end of the episode, and Burke seems to gain a little more respect for him as an all-round police officer, not just a computer whizz.
Burke often calls Stuart by the nickname "Stuarty", indicating a level of gruff fondness in their working relationship.
DI Robbie RossEdit
While Fraser is probably closest to Jackie Reid in terms of having known each other, Robbie and Stuart eventually become something of a double act. The two police officers are polar opposites - Robbie is the classic "tall, dark and handsome", constantly chases after women, gambling, sex and fun, while Fraser is geeky, gay, ginger and a bit more calm in personality. Robbie even describes Stuart as "the only one of us [four] likely to make a decent parent."
While they first meet in the episode A Few Bad Men, Robbie initially assumes that Stuart is straight. Stuart attempts to correct him but is interrupted. Stuart eventually comes out to Ross in the episode Bloodlines, and Robbie is initially shocked to learn that Stuart is gay. Over the course of the episode, he gets over his surprise and seems quite fine with Fraser's sexuality, and in later episodes he does have a tendency to tease him about it. Fraser often responds playfully and there is a lot of banter and bickering between the two. It's always kept within limits, though, and the one time it goes too far, in the episode Wavelength, Robbie apologises to Stuart.
The moment when it becomes obvious that Ross has become close to Fraser as a friend and has changed as a person comes in Ghost Rider, when Robbie and Fraser have to work with Robbie's old police mates. These police officers are uncouth, bullying and openly homophobic towards Stuart, and their remarks go beyond teasing. Robbie initially says nothing as he still considers these men his friends, but later, after a particularly nasty remark, he sticks up for Stuart against his old mates. This gets him scorn from his old friends, but he doesn't seem to care any more.
Fraser often covers up for Robbie's mistakes or brings him up to speed on things when the other gets distracted. When Robbie was accused of corruption, Fraser was outraged on his behalf, and works with Jackie to prove Robbie's innocence. Robbie does the same for Stuart in An Eye for an Eye, when Stuart is suspended wrongfully over a case that went wrong, and even stands up to the boss for him.

2d Armored Division Association
In reply to:
My dad was in Hell on Wheels does anyone know him
"Hell on Wheels" is the official nickname of the 2d Armored Division. At least 40,000 individuals have served with the division since it was first organized in July 1940 (between 15,000 and 20,000 during World War II alone). Perhaps the division veterans association can help you pinpoint your Dad's unit within the division and, possibly, help you locate one or more who served with him.

Santa's not the only one making a list of who's naughty and who's nice. While trying to complete my holiday shopping without stepping foot in a store, I devised my own file of catalogers who deserve lumps of coal and those worthy of extra plums in their pudding.
The Naughty List
- Sears
On a spread of dollhouses in its Wish Book catalog, Sears offers two doll families: one white and one "ethnic." The "ethnic" family is clearly African-American. Why not just label the dolls as such, rather than assume Hispanic, Asians, and other nonwhites would prefer those dolls to the others?
- HearthSong
When trying to order gifts online, every time I typed in the HearthSong URL, I called up a page that was almost blank save for a link to parent company 1-800-Flowers.com. I'd select the link, get to the 1-800-Flowers home page, and have to scroll down to find a link to HearthSong. Only after selecting that link was I directed to the HearthSong home page!
- Spilsbury
The institutional copy on page 2 of the Holiday Gifts edition directs me to the order form for information about express delivery, should I need any last-minute gifts. So what does the order form say? "Ask your operator for details." That sort of runaround is not nice at all.
The Nice List
- Sears again
Sprinkled throughout the Wish Book is an icon labeled "Get batteries. See page 112." And on 112, the same page that includes the ordering and service information, batteries of all sizes are for sale. Here's an effortless way to gain incremental sales, while providing a valuable service to boot. (Surely I'm not the only one who has forgotten to buy batteries until one's child tries to play with her new, "batteries not included" toy.)
- Wine Country Gift Baskets
"Order now! We will ship and bill on date requested" declares a cover line on the Holiday edition. The offer is promoted on every spread as well. Encouraging shoppers to order while they have the book in hand — even if it's weeks ahead of the holiday — helps even out the work flow in the warehouse and salvages sales that might be lost due to forgetfulness. Perhaps other catalogers also offer the service…but do they promote it so prominently?
- C. Crane Co.
Subtitled "Radio, Light, and Sound," this cataloger has a significant number of visually impaired customers. So it offers a free audio version of the print catalog to accommodate them. As if that's not nice enough, C. Crane's prices include ground shipping — no sticker shock when it's time to check out and you realize how much you're paying for S&H.
Oh heck, it's been a tough year — I'm putting everyone on my Nice List. Don't expect much in the way of five golden rings or Hanukkah gelt from me, though. The best that I and the rest of the Catalog Age staff can offer is our sincere wishes for a happy holiday season and our promise to continue giving you the best magazine we can produce. (Think of it as a gift that keeps on giving.)

(COMMONDREAMS) — Amid the outcry over President Donald Trump's proposed 2019 budget—which also calls for massive spending cuts for education, healthcare, and foreign aid—policy experts and anti-hunger groups zeroed in on Tuesday on the administration's plan to replace food stamps with boxes that would contain foods pre-selected by the Agriculture Department.
Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget, likened the proposal to Blue Apron, the popular meal-delivery service. But critics noted that the company's mission of simplifying meal preparation for busy households would be replaced by a bureaucratic attempt to dictate which foods families could have, in the interest of saving money for the government.
Hearing that the Trump Admin is selling this as the "Blue Apron-ing" of SNAP.
Um, no. https://t.co/FzgVRv8yw4
— Chad Bolt (@chadderr) February 12, 2018
"With Blue Apron, you get to pick your meals and decide when they come," noted journalist Bryce Covert. "And it gives you all the ingredients you need to complete it. Under Trump's plan, the government decides what you get and when you get it. You have no say. Is your oven off because you couldn't pay the gas bill? Too bad, you got canned food that needs to be heated up."
Under Trump's proposal, families receiving more than $90 in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits—about 80 percent of eligible families—would receive half of their benefits in the monthly food boxes, which would contain shelf-stable milk, juice, grains, cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned meat, fruits and vegetables. After receiving the box, the average SNAP household would be left with about $127 per month to buy fresh produce and other foods of their choosing.
Anti-hunger advocates point out that the pre-selected foods would not be suitable for SNAP recipients with special dietary needs.
"It boggles the mind how that would play out," Kathy Fisher, policy director at Philadelphia's Coalition Against Hunger, told the Washington Post. "We know SNAP works now, when people can choose what they need. How they would distribute foods to people with specialized diets, or [to people in] rural areas…It's very expensive and very complicated."
Others pointed out that the USDA's proposed name for the packages, "America's Harvest Box," is a misnomer.
Shocking anti-hunger advocates, the Trump admin is proposing to replace half of food stamp money with a box of government-selected food they'd deliver monthly. They'd call it a "Harvest Box" even though it wouldn't include anything fresh. https://t.co/jjc9Edgp0S
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) February 13, 2018
"This action would not only destabilize attempts to bring more healthy, fresh foods into the homes of America's food insecure, but would keep dollars out of local grocery stores and farmers markets, which are critical assets to all communities," Jordan Rasmussen, a policy associate at the Center for Rural Affairs, told Politico.

Stacy Smallwood (Owner) has a great eye for cool, stylish pieces that you will wear over and over again. We gave the space a sophisticated, modern interior to compliment the clothes. There is a very relaxed atmosphere and lots of comfortable seating for husbands and boyfriends to lounge while waiting.
Definitely stop by if you are in the Greenville area, its quite close to Charlotte & Atlanta. By the way, Greenville is a great little town that working on this job gave me the opportunity to visit.
Stacy and I had a great time working on the store together, as well as her fall photo shoot which we did here at The Sitting Room. This is one of her fall ads shot in the store.
The Sitting Room also did the remodel of the Bluefish Fitness Club in downtown Charleston. Photos to be posted soon.

Worlds are colliding, Jerry!
Last week I posted a question called 'Ask the Tweeps', essentially wondering where folks are turning when in need of information and expertise. As you would expect, the answers were pretty mixed, people rely on internal co-workers in many situations, and turn to their external networks for 'new' or 'different' questions that may not have in-house sources of expertise, or if they are interested in more diverse or alternate perspectives.
This is altogether natural and expected, and I think understanding the 'mix' of expertise and information requests in an organization could certainly become an important part of a company's talent management efforts.
Just how often are our employees reaching outside the organization for information and advice?
What kinds of things are they asking?
Do we really have that knowledge in-house already, and our employees just don't know how to find the right person or resource?
And finally, how might the organization capture and leverage employee's external connections for longer-term organizational benefit?
Should they even try?
Lately a number of collaboration and information platforms that are designed to better enable employee communication and knowledge sharing have started offer at least some insight to these questions by incorporating 'external' sources of content like Twitter updates, Delicious bookmarks, and FlickR images. Solutions like Socialcast, Obayoo, and to some extent Socialtext all offer the organization the ability to combine or mash-up classic 'internal' content and communication with heretofore 'external' data that has been traditionally viewed as private or personal in nature.
Conceptually, this makes sense. If knowledge workers find a great website that helps solve a problem, it should be bookmarked for others in the company to potentially leverage. If an image on FlickR helps to explain a concept, then it would be great for the rest of the team to know that it is available.
But while the 'blending' of internal content (discussions, status updates, documents) with external content (Twitter feeds, RSS feeds from blogs, Delicious, YouTube. etc ) can make sound business sense, I wonder if many employees are prepared and comfortable to open up in this way.
These new collaborative tools try to help organizations exploit what everyone knows is going on: employees rely on external sources to accomplish their tasks. But will employees be willing to more fully open up their private and personal worlds to others in the organization. Will they need to create dual accounts on these external sources, so that their 'company' Twitter feed can be shared with the organization and their personal Twitter feed can be kept private?
Worlds are colliding more and more each day. It may not be as easy as it seems for organizations to take advantage, just ask George Costanza.

The Meet-You-There Walk
Instead of driving with your spouse to the market or some other nearby destination, leave a bit early on foot and meet him there, then catch a ride back home. If you normally walk a three-mile loop in the neighborhood, draw a circle on a map extending that far out in all directions from your home. This is your sphere of possibility (and it'll grow larger as you get fitter).

Tribal tattoos are very fascinating and have a great expression of artistic design. All in all tribal tattoos dates back to over 5000 years ago to the bronze age. The tattoos were commonly worn by people of diverse races and cultures and the meaning of the tattoos differed depending on the culture or race of the owner. For the European culture tribal tattoo has always been a symbol of membership or a sense of belonging to the definite society. With the help of them the members could easily identify one another as a member of their special race or culture.

Headed for the Shore
November, 2015
24″ x 36″
This is the time of day where the water is perfect, you're having the time of your life catching waves and your grandmother calls to you from the shore, 'Time to come in, we're going home!'.
You pretend not to hear her and continue in the water. She knows this game well and stands on the beach, arms akimbo. 'Let's go' she reaffirms.
You look the other way one more time, glance over your shoulder and she's still there. You wait for the next good wave, heave a big sigh and ride it in. Your hair is salty, suit soaking wet and sand is everywhere. Another awesome day on the beach!

Man surprised by alarm company's automatic renewal policyPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- If you have a home alarm system or you're thinking of getting one, you're going to want to pay attention.
Nearly every alarm company requires you to sign a contract, but you really have to read that agreement closely because it is very, very common in the industry to put an automatic renewal policy in the contract -- a policy not many people know about until it's too late.
When Steve Pogue and his wife moved into their South Phoenix home in 2006, one of the first things they bought was an alarm system.
"We thought it was a good idea because when you're at work and, you know, you want your house protected," Pogue said.
And Pogue says finding an alarm company was pretty easy.
"I looked around the neighborhood and I think I saw a couple Protect America [signs] so I decided to go with them," he said.
He signed a two-year contract with Protect America, a contract he thought ended seven months ago and was under the impression that he was now under a month-to-month agreement.
That is until he called Protect America recently.
"We wanted to put a camera system in the back and the front just for more protection and I called Protect America and they didn't offer that service," he said.
Not only did Protect America not offer camera surveillance, but they told him he couldn't get out of his contract and leave because he was on the hook for another two years.
"I said that I didn't understand that," Pogue said. "I never signed a statement or permission for them to re-new it."
But, apparently he did. Right there in the paperwork it states that unless he cancels in writing within 60 days of the end of the contract, he'll automatically be renewed for an additional two years.
"It's very underhanded," Pogue said. "It's very sneaky."
Now, Protect America told me they would waive Pogue's remaining balance and time on the contract "if" and "only if" 3 On Your Side would not air this report.
That was not an option and Pogue agrees.
I should also mention that Protect America has a C rating with the Better Business Bureau because it has more than 1,000 customers who have lodged complaints against them.

Planning for Negotiations: Priorities.
Schaefle, William J.
The school board of the Maine Township High School District in Cook County, Illinois, negotiated a collective bargaining agreement with the local teachers' association independently of the teachers' employment contract. The board's negotiating team consists of five persons: three board members experienced in negotiations, of whom one is the official negotiator; the district's assistant superintendent for personnel, who conveys responses to the current contract and requests for new provisions made by administrators at all levels; and legal counsel on labor relations. The school board as a whole establishes general goals and targets for the management side following discussion sessions with administrators, but leaves specific contract language to the negotiators. The changes requested by both the board and the union are carefully analyzed and prioritized by the negotiators before the bargaining sessions begin. Careful planning, good discipline, an objective rather than emotional attitude, and a good knowledge of the history of negotiations in the district are essential to the success of the process. (PGD)

Launched: July 19, 2014
Bitshares represents the first decentralized exchange with market pegged assets. Apart from that it is the first alt-coin that uses DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake) for validating blocks.
BitAssets, the currency of BitShares, are digital asset tokens that have eliminated the burden of price volatility. This means that bitUSD, bitEuro, bitCNY and bitGold will always trade near par value for the dollar, euro, yuan and gold on crypto-currency exchanges worldwide.
BitAssets are helping businesses and shoppers avoid the hassle of having to constantly transfer their holdings back and forth between crypto and cash to evade costly price fluctuations. For traders, BitAssets are providing the opportunity to trade in the value of their favorite currency or commodity without leaving the privacy and convenience of the blockchain. And for all users, bitAssets pay a daily interest rate that rivals or surpasses most savings banks.
BitAssets pay interest because of the BitShares market-pegged assets are lent into circulation at interest. Traders seeking leverage post bitshares as collateral equal to 3 times the value of the loan and compete to offer the highest interest rates. Borrowing an asset so you can sell it on the market is known as shorting. These trades happen inside the trust-free exchange that is hardwired into the BitShares blockchain. The end result of these shorts is the creation of 300% collateralized bitAsset tokens that each pay a proportional dividend to the combined interest paid by the open short positions. Because of this, BitAsset holders have the unique privilege of earning interest on commodities such as gold, silver, and oil, as well as commonly interest bearing instruments like dollars and euro.User Issued Assets
The BitShares Decentralized Exchange also contains a class of tokens called User Issued Assets or UIA for short. Each UIA can be fully customized to fit the requirements of its issuer. For example, companies can issue shares of stock directly onto the bitshares blockchain, and BitShares UIA can be programmed to fully comply with existing regulatory and legal guidelines. UIA can also be issued by established crypto-currency exchanges and money transmitters who want to become gateways into and out of BitShares. Other uses for UIA may include rewards vouchers, coupons, third party currencies, credits, product receipts, crowdfunding tokens, warranty vouchers, private securities, and many more.
BitShares Decentralized Exchange is putting freedom and security back into the hands of the people by eliminating dangerous and unfair practices like fractional reserve lending and order front running. The flexibility of BitShares UIA is bringing a diverse group of interests to the table, and interest earning bitAssets are providing opportunity for those living in volatile regions to be safe and secure in their savings.
The endgame for the BTS token (lowercase-b "bitshares") is to trade as equity in this profitable, decentralized network that can out-compete existing centralized solutions for basic financial services with nothing but free software and free speech.User-Issued Assets and Decentralized Applications
Gateway assets be issued by established crypto-currency exchanges and money transmitters who want to become gateways into and out of BitShares.
Companies can issue company stock directly onto the bitshares blockchain, and BitShares UIA can be programmed to fully comply with existing regulatory and legal guidelines.
Other uses for UIA may include rewards vouchers, coupons, third party currencies, credits, product receipts, crowdfunding tokens, warranty vouchers, and many more.
All assets on bitshares come with a variety of tools to help facilitate free commerce like escrow transactions, multisig, stealth addresses, and more. Delegates are effectively first-class oracles, meaning technologies like Codius or Hyperledger could be added relatively painlessly as demand for even more flexibility arises.Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS)
A more elegant consensus algorithm for a more civilized age.
BitShares is secured by the Delegated Proof of Stake consensus protocol, with the BTS token (lowercase-b "bitshares") as the consensus metric. The design of this protocol seeks to maximize speed and efficiency while keeping bitshares holders in control of the block producers. DPOS as implemented in BitShares allows for 10 second blocks with an extremely low orphan block rate and can potentially scale to thousands of transactions per second.
Delegates can also campaign to have a higher pay rate than what is necessary to run a block-producing node. Shareholders typically use this functionality to fund the development of the BitShares ecosystem.

Couple build tiny cabin from SCRAP for just £1,000
- Christian Montez, 29, and Kyra Powell, 28, built the two-storey cabin on the outskirts of Hereford for just £1,000
- The young couple started the DIY project after becoming frustrated with paying rent and soaring house prices
- They used recycled wood and unwanted goods to construct the home, which boasts a double bedroom and an office
With its stylish living room and stunning countryside views, this glass-fronted property looks like it would be out of reach for most first-time buyers.
But the two-storey cabin was built for just £1,000 by a resourceful young couple who were frustrated with paying rent and soaring house prices.
Using recycled materials and their own skills, Christian Montez, 29, and Kyra Powell, 28, constructed the rural retreat on the outskirts of Hereford.

Target Date Portfolio: IncomeClub vs. Target Date Funds
Target date funds are powerful options for investors, and they have long been accessible to investors who prefer to have a defined time investment. However, these funds are not perfect, and IncomeClub offers an alternative that might be beneficial for investors.
However, these funds are not perfect, and IncomeClub offers an alternative that might be beneficial for investors.
Actually, both the use of IncomeClub's platform and target date funds can be viable options for investors uncomfortable with self-managing their portfolios. How do these managed account solutions stack up to one another, though?
How do these managed account solutions stack up to one another, though?
The Basics of the Target Date Fund
Target date funds are not newcomers to the investment scene. They've been around for a while. The most common scenario is a tickered mutual fund that allows investors to specify the year in which they wish to retire.
Most often, they're provided by fund families, and you'll find them available through sources like American Funds, and Fidelity to name just a couple.
In most instances, investors have a menu consisting of five-year increments. For example, an investor might decide they wanted to retire in 2030 or in 2035. However, they could not decide they wanted to retire in 2032, or 2033.
Rebalancing, glide path, and asset allocation are all professionally managed, based on the investor's specification of retirement date.
One of the most critical components to understand here is "glide path." Really, this is nothing more than a gradual reduction of equity allocation within the fund as the retirement date approaches.
Eventually, an allocation will level out completely, remaining steady, although when this happens varies from one fund family to another.
In some instances, the glide path will continue through retirement, but in others, it ends at the retirement date.
IncomeClub – The World's First Bond Investing Robo-Advisor Specialist
If you're not familiar with the term "robo-advisor," don't worry. They haven't been around that long. Despite that short length of history, there are quite a few variations on the market.
With that being said, they do share some commonalities. In most cases, they are automated investment advisors that help grow wealth based on a proprietary algorithm.For most robo-advisors, the investor completes a questionnaire, and then this information is used to tailor the portfolio.
IncomeClub is unlike any other robo-advisor out there. Where all others rely on ETFs, IncomeClub instead focuses on investing in individual, investment-grade bonds.
The firm takes a dedicated portfolio theory-derived approach, which focuses on creating predictable cash flow.
Bond investing offers a number of benefits, but one of the most crucial to understand is the concept of maturity.
In short, bonds offer a specific maturity date, on which the investor will receive their investment capital back (plus coupons throughout the duration of the bond, enhancing return significantly).
Why a Personalized Approach Is Better
Target date funds are a one-size-fits-all investment tool.
Obviously, this is not the right approach to take.
Your needs are not the same as another investor's needs are. Your goals are not their goals. This goes for every single investor out there.
In comparison, IncomeClub's personalization model ensures that your unique goals, needs and time horizon are taken into account, and then your portfolio is personalized to match those considerations.
Mutual Funds and Investment Advisors
Again, target date mutual funds are "one-size-fits-all."
Investment advisors, on the other hand, take a one-at-a-time approach. In other words, you receive a personalized solution that bears your individual needs in mind.
IncomeClub is also registered with the SEC and provides a specialized, transparent, fiduciary investment management service.
The firm carefully considers not only individual investor needs but the suitability of the match between the investor and IncomeClub.
There are many factors included in this consideration, including the investor's risk tolerance, their age, their overall investment goals, and their specific financial and personal circumstances.
The Question of Management Fees
Target date funds have a range of possible fees depending on the mutual fund's expense ratio, as well as management fees and more.
For example, Vanguard offers one of the lowest on the market, at just 0.17%. However, most of the options available are higher than 1%.
IncomeClub charges investors a fee as low as 0.25% for accounts holding under $100,000, and a fee as low as 0.20% for accounts with more than $100,000 in them.
Choosing the Right Option for You
It's hard to answer the question of which method is right for you, simply because there are so many potential factors. Target date funds do offer advantages, including the fact that they can provide broad diversification in different asset classes. This makes it a good option or those with less risk aversion.
However, for those who cannot tolerate much risk, as well as for those who require predictability and stability in their investing, IncomeClub's option is the better of the two.
It is also important to understand that target date funds may not be the right choice if you are at or even remotely near retirement age, as they can and do lose a great deal of value in some years.
For example, the 2010 target date funds for most fund families in the Great Recession lost a whopping 20%.
When everything is said and done, target date funds and IncomeClub's solution are both viable, but investors should consider their approach very carefully.

Published: 08 Jan 2013
Last Updated: 01 Dec 2014MT is no stranger to the daily rail commute and the frustrations and horrors therein. But it seems that there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel for harried passengers. Those delays, cancellations, packed trains and mysterious signaling problems will soon be a thing of the past.
Over the next five years, £600m will be spent on protecting tracks and bridges against floods and heat waves and 1,000 miles of new electrified lines will be added to the network. This will result in faster, more reliable trains, says Network Rail.
New trains will replace clapped out old rolling stock to help cart commuters around. Around 170,000 new peak-time seats will be added in total. How MT will miss that unnatural morning squeeze, guessing every component of one's neighbour's breakfast as his breath blasts your face, and attempting to adjust position so that none of the jutting elbows bruise vital organs.
Some £5bn is also to be spent on that depressing line from London to Swansea, which – post electrification and signaling gadgetry revamp – should actually do what it promises and take passengers from London to Swansea. Congested areas around Reading and Manchester will also be sorted out.
Huzzah, MT hears you cry. But before you succumb to ecstasy, know this: it is fares, in the main, that are funding this £37.5bn investment. Network Rail has promised to try and make some internal savings too, but the lion's share of the dosh will be creamed off commuters as fares continue to rise above inflation each year to 2019. That will take the number of years that fares have risen above the cost of living to 15 in total. Somewhere, a Fat Controller is having a belly laugh.
Network Rail chief executive David Higgins has attempted to soothe commuters' ire by explaining: 'We have an amazing railway which is performing out of its socks, but it is still an old, Victorian railway which costs money to maintain because it is old and at a very, very high level of capacity.
'But we have made huge progress,' he continues. 'The costs of maintaining and operating the railway in the 10-year period to 2014 have come down by 50%. We have to invest to save. We have to spend now to increase capacity, create a more resilient railway.' Although, looking at projected growth, this may just about keep things at the current levels of crowdedness...
That's all very well Higgins, but to quote Sun business editor Steve Hawkes on Twitter, '£37bn?! Are they launching services to the moon?!'

Picture: Meera Sivanathan for Finland Today Saturday saw the city of Helsinki turn into a food lover's paradise as over 200 pop-up restaurants dished up delicious cuisine as part of Restaurant Day. Back in its original formand back by popular demand, it marked the first of four Restaurant Day's to be held over the next 12 months. Hundreds of people, kids and adults alike, seized the opportunity to put on their chef's hat and fulfill their dream of running their very own restaurant (even if just for a day). The sun was shining as I walked through Vanha Kirkkopuisto and the atmosphere was lively and jovial, somewhat opposite tolast year's Restaurant Day in Helsinki."I'm so happy that Restaurant Day is back to four times a year. An opportunity to share my food and passion for cooking with the city is a wonderful feeling, but knowing that there will be people coming to the event, lining up and buying the food is even better," said one of the restaurateurs. There was a queue building at one tent so I decided to check it out. The guys from Hakuna Matata pop-up restaurant have been serving authentic Tanzanian cuisine at Restaurant Day for several years now. I spoke with Phesto Mwakyusa, co-owner of Hakuna Matata pop-up. "For us, it's a good thing that Restaurant Day is back in its original form, but it's not just about selling food. For Restaurant Day to work, you need different people. People should gather, it's a special day for that," he said. "For me, Restaurant Day is a place where we can meet people; show them what we eat back home."Click to find out more. "For me, Restaurant Day is a place where we can meet people; show them what we eat back home." The menus on offer were extensive and spanned many continents. It was a phenomenal display of Finland's multiculturalism. Whether you crave fresh, modern, exotic or homely flavors – you're guaranteed to find whatever your taste buds desire at one of the many pop-up restaurants scattered throughout Helsinki on Restaurant Day. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I savored the day bite by bite. After all, these pop-up's would disappear by sunset. Traditional Finnish roasted pig, chickpea and chorizo stew from Mozambique, potato filled 'Dosai' from India, Lebanese mezze plates, hipster hot dogs and vegan cakes were just some of the mouth-watering dishes up for tasting. To combat the summer rays, ice cream and mocktails were also crowd pleasers. "Our ginger, lemon and rose mocktails have been a hit, we sold out way sooner than expected . . . . We were actually up till late last night squeezing the lemons to make sure our mocktails are super fresh," said Ed and Mandi, owners of the "Chill Out Mocktails" pop-up. With many restaurateurs up until late the previous night, there was no doubt that it takes a lot of time, preparation and passion for setting up a pop-up restaurant. Mother and daughters selling popcorn. Picture: Meera Sivanathan for Finland Today Walking around the city center, it was impossible to ignore the way in which the sharing of food brings people together. Everywhere people tasted, sampled and talked to restaurateurs about their food, heritage and culture. As Antti Tuomola, chef and co-founder of Restaurant Day, so correctly said, "The food is a part of the experience, but just a part. Everything else is important as well. In Restaurant Day the communal experience and being part of something larger is the most important aspect." From humble beginnings in Helsinki, Finland in 2011, the Restaurant Day concept and brand has since grown to become the largest food festival in the world and is celebrated four times a year in over 75 countries. Thanks to Restaurant Day approximately 27,000 pop-up restaurants by over 100,000 restaurateurs have whipped up and served delicious cuisine to over three million customers over the past six years. "We like to think that the growth [of Restaurant Day] is a result of giving people the freedom to do what they want with their city," Tuomola said. It's clear that the food festival gives people in participating countries the power to cook, create, share and experience food with one another. More importantly, Restaurant Day brings the community together and encourages people to learn and foster an appreciation for what's cooking in their neighbor's kitchen. It's the perfect recipe for a deliciously good day. Comments comments GET NOTIFICATIONS OF NEW ARTICLES NameEmailThank you!
