A brilliant finish on modern cars has had a special need that is now addressed with Brilliance car wax from Evoke. This is specifically formulated with T1 brazilian yellow carnauba wax helps to protect and enhance the original factory paintwork with extra gloss.
Brilliance was specially developed for use on occasionally driven vehicles. However the high levels of carnauba wax in this wax makes it ideal for any vehicle completing a lot of motorway mileage or for daily drivers. Suitable for all paint types and colours regardless of make and model, Brilliance like our other waxes is highly resistant to salts and tree sap and bug splatter, especially effective on factory-applied and aftermarket paints. Brilliance car wax contains a HIGH% of brazilian No. 1 yellow wax, montan wax and beeswax.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Ensure all panels are clean and free from contaminants; apply Brilliance thinly with a wax applicator one panel at a time. Allow it to cure for a few minutes before gently removing the product with a clean microfibre towel.
Evoke wax towels feature an ultra-short, dense weave, which gives them a lot of bite and makes them extremely good at removing wax and polish residues. The ultra-soft fibres significantly reduce the chances of adding fresh surface marring when buffing off, while the covered protected edge design further reduces the risk of marking the paint.
Evoke Wax Applicator is a wax pad designed to facilitate the effortless application of all waxes regardless of the brand. The design is hand washable, meaning that each pad can be safely reused time and time again.

Do I sound gay? Gay and straight men alike (and those totally visible bi guys in between) have asked themselves this for decades. It is typically a shameful question most frequently queried inside our own heads. Filmmaker David Thorpe made a documentary, Do I Sound Gay?, to explore the stereotypically gay "accent" and the shame that surrounds it. This episode puts the 'th' in 'fabulous'—and doesn't give a rat's ass who hearsth it!

On Saturday, October 31st, when all of New York was abuzz with Halloween fun and fright, the last of chashama 461 Studio & Gallery artists were emptying their contents into U-Haul trucks, donation bins and dumpsters. The building, located at 461 West 126th Street in Harlem's factory district, is now closed after eight years of service to working artists and the Harlem arts community at-large.
At any given time, chashama – which in Persian means "to have vision" – operates between 15-25 work and exhibition spaces for artists throughout the five boroughs. The not-for-profit does this by forging relationships with property owners that allows them to offer unused real estate to local artists for both the creation and presentation of work. Artists enter into these arrangements with an understanding that the deal is temporary. But, even temporary space for an artist in New York City, can be career and life changing. chashama maintains access to spaces anywhere from a few months to a few years, so the fact that their primary Harlem building, 461, was operative for a whopping eight years is a milestone to be celebrated – for the organization as well as the benefiting artists.
And, celebrate is exactly what they did.
In a culminating exhibition and reception, chashama 461 artists, alumni and staff came together to share one final event as an artistic unit. The exhibit – DEFINITIVE 461 – showcased the works of the location's fourteen diverse artists; each bringing their own specific backgrounds, information, styles and media from their studio easels to the gallery floor. Friday October 28th, the reception evening, yielded heartfelt memories shared by Anita Durst, the organization's Artistic Director (aka chashama Mama) along with words from some of the artists and alumni. Although, many of the artists were still scrambling to settle into new digs, all of them expressed how grateful they were to have been a part of this vital artistic family. There were tears of sadness as well as tears of laughter but, most of all, there was a prevailing sense of how powerful this space had been, evidenced by the work on the walls as well as the spirit in the room.
chashama 461 felt very permanent, however, to the Harlem community and to many of its long-time artist residents. At its height, the 45,000 square foot space housed 32 artist work spaces, and countless exhibitions and events had been hosted in its ground-floor gallery. As the news of its closing continues to spread, a low-grade shock-wave travels through a neighborhood that was largely unaware, or has perhaps forgotten, that this was essentially a pop-up space. The ensuing redevelopment of the West Harlem edge, replete with Columbia sprawl and amplified by the relatively recent shutterings of other community arts venues, further drives home the dire and increasing need for affordable artist work, live, and exhibition space in Harlem. The closing of 461, at this sensitive juncture, reads like a final nail in the coffin for Harlem artists in need of a place to be.
And, what becomes of the 461 artists?
Interior and installation artist, Christopher Trujillo, is without a studio for the first time in his nearly twenty year career. Having had studios in Brooklyn and in Chelsea, he recounts how moving from one space to another was once realizable, but now seems an impossible feat. Lisa Ingram landed a work studio in Red Hook, Brooklyn; she is one of the lucky ones, despite her new daily commute from Uptown. At the reception, Aleathia Brown shared a positive take on having to move the breadth of her studio back into her Bronx apartment; she compared it to an adult child moving back home, only stronger and wiser for having been somewhere. Richard Wager also made the best of losing his studio by removing his living room couch to create the space he will need at home for art-making. Tomo Mori, a 461 artists for only seven months and one of its newest members, understood when she moved in that her time might be brief. Despite having been on a wait-list for four years before moving in, she departs simply thankful for the level of productivity the studio provided her. Gina Fuentes Walker and Ingrid Capozzoli Flinn are hoping to find a studio together. Other exiting artists are carving out space at home, not unlike Brown and Wager; a few of them have given up large format work they now have nowhere to house.
In the best of all worlds, chashama reemerges in Harlem with a newer and even greater studio opportunity for artists. Having harnessed over one million square feet of space for New York City artists since its inception, if anyone can make this near-impossible dream a reality, we know chashama can.

Season 2: Episode 1 | Choosing to Walk Together
Many of us are carrying a lot of baggage regarding Christian community. Ruth has often commented that it is one of the most over-promised, under-delivered aspects of the Christian life—which means that Christians who have been deeply involved in church are often the most cynical and disillusioned. In Season 2 of the Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership podcast, Ruth and Steve will discuss how to cultivate communities where people regularly and routinely experience spiritual transformation. In episode 1, Ruth shares how God led her to the story of the Emmaus Road as a biblical model for transforming community. She unpacks the three nuanced ways of talking about community: Christian community, spiritual community, and transforming community, and also describes what Christian community is not—with a rich discussion of the role community plays in navigating liminal space.
In this podcast:
- Episode 6 | Transformation Through Self-Knowledge and Self-Examination
- Life Together in Christ: Experiencing Transformation in Community by Ruth Haley Barton
- Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation (Chapter 6) by Ruth Haley Barton

Advice I would give my younger self if I could go back in time (with a special offer from Care/of!!)
Dear Me twenty years ago,
We need to have a conversation. And since I'm older and wiser than you, I'm gonna talk and you're gonna listen. Capeesh? I've been around the block a few more times than you, so I'd like to give you a little advice. Okay, here goes:
1. Stop looking at your AWESOME body and seeing things that are wrong with it. That is not a muffin top, it's called skin. And thighs that touch are normal. And your body isn't flawed, it is gorgeous. And one day you're gonna look at old pictures of yourself and wish you had that body again.
2. Stop freaking out about being single. Seriously, enjoy it while you can. Because once you're married, you're married forever. At least that's the goal.
3. Don't be too scared to tell scumbag men to F off. Whether it's a drunken frat guy or your boss. Better to lose your job than your dignity because you can always get another job.
4. Stop plucking your eyebrows too much. Take note, I did NOT say stop plucking your eyebrows completely. You want to find a happy medium between looking like Bert from Sesame Street and growing up to be that lady who has to draw on her eyebrows every morning.
5. Stop saying you'll start taking care of yourself tomorrow. That's the funny thing about tomorrow. It never actually arrives. So eat some broccoli today, jump on the elliptical today, or do what I do– order some Care/of vitamins today (Yes, this is sponsored but I only promote products I really like and Care/of is awesome!!) Look how cute their customized vitamin packets are! (Keep reading for an amazing offer from them)
But I digress. At least it was a healthy digression! Sorry, back to my list.
6. Don't ever pick up a cigarette. Never ever. Not even to pass it to your friend. Friends don't pass friends cigarettes. And people who smoke don't look cool. They die.
7. Travel as much as you can right now. Because once you're married, it costs twice as much. And once you have kids, it costs four times as much. Five times if you're wealthy enough to bring the nanny along. And you won't be.
8. There are two kinds of wrinkles you're gonna get when you're older. The kind you get from smiling a lot, and the kind you get from sunbathing. You're gonna hate them both, but only one of them is worth it.
9. Stand in front of the bathroom mirror and look at your boobs. A lot. Like constantly. Because one day you'll get out of the shower and look in the bathroom mirror but they'll be too low to see unless you stand in front of a full-length mirror. And by then you'll avoid full-length mirrors at all costs.
10. Buy Apple stock. As much as you can.
It's sooooo hard to stay healthy when you're a mom. So much to do, so little time, so many leftover French fries and sandwich crusts to inhale. So I take Care/of vitamins. It's simple. Just go to the Care/of website, take a fun quiz (it's free so go try it!!), and they'll create customized packs of vitamins to send you every month. There's a pack for every day of the month with your name on it!
And when I'm walking out the door in the morning (more like sprinting while I'm screaming at my kids to get their backpacks), I just grab a pack and take it with me on the road. Easy peasy!! Mine have vitamins for my skin, my immune system, and my stress level. Duhhh, because I'm a mom. And right now if you click here and use the code SIDEBURNS50, you'll get 50% off your first month. Yipppppeeeee!!!! I wish I knew about this twenty years ago!
If you liked this, please don't forget to like and share it. Thank you!!

- Utility Transformations
- SMBs
- Conferences and Events
Increasing SMB Customer Engagement through Integrated Demand-Side Management Programs
For decades, utilities have had success reaching large commercial and industrial (C&I) as well as residential customers with demand-side management programs like energy efficiency and demand response. Large C&I customers typically have utility account managers catering to their service needs, while mass marketing techniques like bill stuffers, direct mail, door-to-door canvassing, advertising, social media, and retail channel partnerships effectively reach residential consumers.
However, the small to midsize business (SMB) customer segment is typically underrepresented when it comes to demand-side management (DSM) program participation, so it is considered hard to reach. Obstacles include the facts that there are too many SMBs for utilities to have a dedicated account managers, SMBs typically do not have staff resources focused on energy issues, and mass marketing does not easily penetrate the segment. In addition, no clear definition of SMBs exists. Some utilities and vendors use square footage, others use annual kilowatt-hours, and still others use kilowatt peak demand.
Examining the Issues
A 2016 study in California found that SMB customers accounted for 78% of customers, but only 33% of energy efficiency program incentives and 32% of energy savings from programs. The program participation rate for SMB customers is about one-third of the average for all business types. In Massachusetts, 1.4% of eligible customers participated in the small business direct install program, and the smallest customers did not receive attention comparable to customers closer to the 300 kW program cutoff. In PSEG Long Island's energy efficiency program, the participation rate among SMBs was 3 times lower than among non-small business customers (5% vs. 15%).
Reaching SMBs
However, this segment makes up a large percentage of a utility's customer base and has specific characteristics that make these customers great candidates for these programs. They are cost-conscious and will be more likely to participate if energy projects can be put in terms that resonate with them. They also care about community relations, so they will see value if they can show that they are doing something to help the local economy or environment. Recently, utilities have started aggressively pursuing SMBs with new integrated DSM (IDSM), demand response (DR), and energy efficiency product offerings to better leverage this untapped load resource and engage them to help improve J.D. Power customer satisfaction scores.
Join the Conversation
Navigant Research will host a free webinar on the topic of increasing SMB customer engagement through IDSM programs on October 10 at 2 p.m. EDT. I will be joined by Robert Duval, director of operations at Itron, and Jeremy Morrison, program manager at Duke Energy, and we will share best practices related to designing and deploying DR and energy efficiency programs for SMBs.
Key topics covered will include tips for DR and energy efficiency program design, recruitment strategies to maximize customer participation, approaches to maximize energy efficiency savings, and insights from a utility that has successfully deployed an integrated DR and energy efficiency program for SMBs.

"If you want something done right you have to do it yourself"
These are the words I live by, as taught to me by my superior in the Israel Defense Force. I've carried these words with me into my company David Roytman, Which focuses on luxury Judaica. David Roytman was not built on the idea of just making money, but the philosophy behind it.
I was born and raised in Odessa, Ukraine by the sea. Later then, I moved to Israel where I studied and served in the army. After I had finished serving I moved to the New York for about ten years. Through my experiences I have accumulated many ideas on how to decorate and diversify the Jewish world and how to turn it into Luxury Fashion.
I was always perplexed why people would spend so much money on designer clothes but not spend a dime on a kippa. This is something I wanted to change and create not only a luxury product but a luxury experience. Design and drawing has always been a passion of mine, and in 2015 I put those skills to use by designing my first luxury kippa prototype. I worked with skilled leather handlers to bring my design to life. It took three months to create a kippa, which met our philosophy and standards. These simple steps brought us to where we are today the first designer line of the Judica world also know to some as the "Jewish Louis Vuitton."
Many have doubted my vision, saying, "150 dollar kappas won't sell." I happy to say our products are in demand and sell thanks to our superior quality and comfort. Each piece is a professional handmade job where a master can craft four kippot a day. When we are manufacturing products, we use laser engraving to apply the design to the kippa. The kippa itself is made from various exotic materials such as python, crocodile, ostrich, and stingray, as well as the classics.
You can find David Roytman products displayed exclusively in cities such as Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, New York, Toronto, London, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Odessa and Kiev. Now we are expanding to Riga and Astana.

Sasha Eisenman
In 2008, Sasha Eisenman began a photographic investigation of the California Girl. Much of the photographs are nudes or semi-nudes. The images, while being sexy and provocative, also have an innocent, playful, and romantic nature. Eisenman searched out and photographed the unique style, personality, and beauty of a varied group of girls from California. Initially Eisenman cast from a small group of friends, who would meet at backyard parties, surf trips, or music shows.

Time moves fast. That's what I realised when scrolling through my photos from Iceland today. It's been half a year already, since I took that flight from Amsterdam to Reykjavik with WOW Air. And the craving to go back has gotten worse than ever.
To be honest, the 'homesickness' to Iceland has had a delay for all those months. For the entire summer I've been busy with work – honestly: I can't even remember summer, even if I wanted to. The other recent months I've been in a state of trance as a result of my surf and yoga escape in Portugal. But now, now that work has gotten more quiet and I finally have some time to relax, I suddenly feel the strong urge to go back to nature to 'detox' – nah, that's a hipster term, let's say to 'destress'.
I can almost imagine breathing in the mountain air in Iceland. I can almost feel the fresh, slightly cold wind going through my hair and I can hear the quietness. Quietness that is relaxing like no other.
I could use an escape like that right now.
Every time when I try reminiscing to a country that I miss, or every time I want to remember what it 'feels' like to be there.. I write. And that is why today, again, I write. To dream about Iceland, to think back – one more time – to those wonderful moments that will never, ever leave my memory.
Driving those first few kilometers
You know the feel: the moment after arriving in a new country when you get your very first impressions of that landscape, the people, the life and the homes. We arrived in Iceland late at night, it was dark already. Not pitch black, but the sun had set. We got picked up from the airport by SADcars, the company from which we rented our 4×4 (which we later named David – oh, I miss David). Already I could catch a glimpse of those endless roads that make Iceland a bit less pristine.
But for me it was the day after arriving that made a real impression. The day we started driving those very first few kilometers, making our Ring Road – roadtrip through Iceland official.
Endless views, high mountains decorated with petite waterfalls and the ocean at the horizon.The further we drove the less tourists we spotted. And that is exactly how I like it. My first impressions of Iceland did not disappoint. Not for one bit.
Looking into the depth of the Fjadrargljufur Canyon
While still no idea how to pronounce the Fjadrargljufur Canyon, nor will I ever learn to pronounce it correctly (sounds like something I could say when I'm drunk though), I still remember this glorious piece of landscape as one of the most beautiful nature scenario's I've ever seen in real life. High upon the list with Ursa Beach in Portugal and lake Sorvagsvatn in the Faroe Islands. The Fjadrargljufur Canyon was one of the things I knew I needed to see when visiting Iceland, and it was one of the few places in Iceland that actually gave me goosebumps. I am not sure why exactly. Maybe some of you don't even find it that special. To me, seeing this, made my day. And the day after. And the day after that.
Having a petit reunion with my travel-bud Marie
I met her through my blog. Oh, the things social media can lead to. After keeping in touch with each other through social media for a bit longer than a year, we decided to book a trip together. And so, last year we traveled to Spain, wandering through Barcelona and Madrid – one of Marie's many home-away-from-home's. Back then we already dreamt about going to Iceland together. Who knew that dreams can come true so quickly. I met Marie at Schiphol Airport this time, to catch our flight to Reykjavik. We hugged, we sang along the classic roadtrip tunes, we laughed, we traveled, we smiled, we shared. Traveling to Iceland and seeing Marie again, was definitely a highlight.
Ending my day with a view over the Black Beach of Vik
With a bit of rain, a ton of wind, a couple of detours and only a few tourists left, we walked upon that little hill that gave us one hell of a view. Or mountain, what ever you'd call it. It was one of the marvelous views I saw that week that made me fall in love with Iceland. Only a humpback whale would have made this view more impressive. But we'll get back to the humpback whales later this post (hint, hint). Magical, breathtaking and slightly mysterious. Only in Iceland you'll get to see something like this. Only in Iceland.
Arriving in the middle of nowhere for an adventurous night
Whilst booking all the hotels for our Ring Road trip through Iceland I made it my goal to stay in the middle of nowhere for at least one night. And so I booked this little cottage, in the North East of Iceland, on the last night before driving back to Reykjavik. It was no lie that this cottage was in the middle of nowhere. In fact, because one of the only two roads you could take to get there was closed, we had to take a detour that took us at least two hours extra. The roads took us higher up in the mountains (we even had some snow), through the quietest surroundings with hardly any traffic, and secluded lakes. Until finally, after hours of driving, we saw that petite wooden cottage that would be ours for the night.
With only sheep as our neighboors, only the sound of the rain, only the meadows and lakes as our view and only each other as our company, this was by far my favorite night spent in Iceland.
Seeing a humpback whale
I repeat: seeing a humpback whale(!!). I wanted to see a humpback whale soooo bad. After not getting the chance in Seattle I was praying I would see at least one whale in Iceland. And so, when we got to Dalvik, in the north of Iceland, we we're kindly enough offered a whale watching tour by the organisation Arctic Sea Tours. As we were visiting in the right season, chances were definitely high to see whales in real life.
But conditions were rough. Our tour guides warned us beforehand that it wouldn't be strange if we would endure motion sickness because of the strong waves that day. So with a slight hint of panic I got on board of our petite boat – which definitely looked petite compared to the waves that day – to search for whales. It didn't take long before our guides told us that we would spot a humpback whale. And yes, there it was – that one whale that made my bucket list somewhat smaller that day. Close enough to our boat to give us a little show, every 5 to 10 minutes when it got to surface. Flipping her (let's say her) tail and spraying water.
Now I wanna see more.
Back to real life in Reykjavik
Reykjavik was the last stop from our Ring Road road trip. We drove around the island from South, to East, to North to West, to finally hand in our car at the airport again after exploring Reykjavik for one last full day in Iceland. After seeing how quiet and peaceful Iceland can be, Reykjavik is different. Busy all of the sudden.
Hell, driving into Reykjavik was an experience already – where did all those traffic lights come from?
But it was good, it was a completely different side of Iceland. We got to experience a bit of the culture of Iceland, seeing their busiest and most prosperous city. We ended our trip in style – walking in and out of souvenir shops, as you do when you're a tourist.

How can I forget this?!??! My friend picked me up and took me to the movies! We saw Pompeii and it was brilliant. Lots of men all buffed and wearing not very much!!! Lots of eye candy in this movie and well worth watching!
Before John had his stroke he used to like photography but hasn't done any at all since. The Stroke Club contacted him to ask if he'd like to go on a Photography Course they are thinking of running if there are enough takers.
He put his name down and mine also as his carer. It's only for about 2/3 hours as they know the attention span is reduced after a stroke. I think after any serious illness it is reduced. I know mine has, and my memory too.
So we went off to the Course. Most people had digi cameras and me too. John had his camera and the tutor said he'd probably know more than her if that's the camera he uses!!!
Oh, and guess who managed to delete all their photos?! Yes, me. Well in my defence I hadn't used it for two years as I tend to snap things on my phone now. Oh well.
John said he knows some software that can get it back....and once home I tried it the next day and it worked fine. They are all back in my PC now! Phew. Everyone laughed but then said they've done it before too so I'm not on my own. I just pushed the wrong button too quickly!
Again I went in with John this time. His Consultant was very nice and explained things clearly for us. He even showed us a scan of John's brain showing us his stroke! Amazing to see it in his brain, and know that for certain he has a brain.
His Consutlant laughed at that and said I have the right attitude to illness. I said with all I've had and got I have to!
So John has been discharged from the Stroke Department now, and hopefully that will be it. He said that they still didn't know what caused it. Sometimes they just don't find out. The only thing he could say was that maybe the Rheumatoid Arthritis had a hand in it.
Something we will never know.
Back at UCH again. Lymphoedema this time.
My legs have changed shape again, and the good leg is now bigger than the bad leg. I still have the odd shaped leg after the radiotherapy damage. It will never change now.
I was measured for new stockings as usual and she said she'd try to find if there is a nearer place for me to go now that I am on dialysis. She also said my lymphoedema will probably get worse on dialysis. Oh well, something else to look forward to!!! LOL!!!
It seems this is the normal procedure now. They use a line on my fistula, and this is what happens!!! Nasty huh!
Once it is bruised they can't use it for two/three weeks whilst it heals. It's so painful when it's bruised, especially if the vein blows. Mine did this time and it really stings and is painful when it's happening. Made me go all hot and clammy too.
Another guy had it happen to him and he was screaming with the pain. I must have a very high pain threshold if I think it's just stinging and painful.
Tough old bird huh!!! LOL!!!
Another bruise and this time right around my whole arm and almost to the shoulder. Phew it's taking some getting used to this pain. The vein blew again and once more it's the neck lines to the rescue.
One Consultant said she wanted the lines out and I said no, not until the arm lines are working properly. If the arm vein blows, and I have no neck lines I don't know what would happen. I'm not ready for my wooden box just yet!

Colonial Properties Trust (NYSE: CLP) is a real estate investment trust that purchases and develops properties throughout the Sunbelt states, primarily North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. CLP manages 111 multifamily apartment communities for a total of 33,520 apartment units and 45 commercial properties with 12.8 million sq.ft. of office space.
The company invests in three types of real estate - office, retail, and multifamily residential housing. CLP is betting on continued economic and demographic growth in the Southern United States as more Americans migrate south. While this area is quickly growing, it is also a fiercely competitive real estate market, as cheaper real estate costs mean low barriers to entry for competitors to CLP. Another risk in CLP's new strategy is that while its residential real estate profit margins are higher than those of its competitors, they have been the lowest of the firm's three divisions in the last two years. Concentrating more heavily on this low-margin sector means the firm will have to cut costs in other areas.
The firm's decision to focus on multifamily residential apartments has come at the right time, due to the depressed state of the U.S. Housing Market. The Subprime lending crisis has made it harder for many individuals to receive the loans necessary to purchase a homes, making the rental properties that CLP develops more attractive options for both families and investors. Since CLP also earns revenue through joint-ventures where it continues to manage properties after selling them to another party, the firm profits from additional rent revenues as well as property sales.
Colonial Properties Trust is a multifamily-focused self-administered equity REIT that owns, operates and develops multifamily communities primarily located in the Sunbelt region of the United States. The Company is a fully-integrated real estate company, engaged in the acquisition, development, ownership, management and leasing of multifamily communities and other commercial real estate properties.[1]
Colonial Properties owns and operates 156 properties as of December 31, 2009, located in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. The trust also develops new properties, acquires existing properties, and provides management, leasing and brokerage services for commercial real estate.
In November 2009, Colonial Properties disposed of its 15% ownership interest in the DRA/CRT office joint and acquired 100% ownership of one of the joint venture's properties, Three Ravinia.[1] In December 2009, the Company announced it has exited the Colonial Center Mansell office joint venture.[1]
As of December 31, 2009, the Company owned or maintained a partial ownership in 111 multifamily apartment communities containing a total of 33,520 apartment units, 45 commercial properties containing a total of approximately 12.8 million square feet and certain parcels of land adjacent to or near certain of these properties.[1]
As a lessor, the majority of the trust's revenue is derived from residents under existing leases at its properties.
Second Quarter 2010 Results (ended June 30, 2010)[2]
For the second quarter 2010, CLP reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $11.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with a net loss available to common shareholders of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009.
Funds from Operations Available to Common Shareholders and Unitholders (FFO), a widely accepted measure of REIT performance, for the second quarter 2010 was $20.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with $31.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009. Operating FFO, which the company defines as FFO before transaction income (i.e. development gains, land/outparcel gains/losses and bond/preferred stock repurchase gains/losses), for the second quarter 2010 was $20.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with $15.8 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009.
CLP focuses on development as it believes this is more profitable than simply buying and reselling properties. CLP seeks to distinguish the reputation of its brand name properties. This has resulted in 27 building awards for CLP in the past decade.[3] The following charts indicate the future of CLP's development and acquisition.
Lending is especially important to Real Estate Investment Trusts since federal tax law requires that it return at least 90% of earnings to shareholders. As a result, the trust cannot simply finance expansion by retaining a larger portion of earnings. CLP has responded to the liquidity crunch in traditional means by reducing overhead costs, expanding more cautiously, and organizing an extended line of credit with a number of financial institutions. However, CLP has also sought to reduce its debt load by selling off portions of its developments to joint ventures organized with other investors, while still maintaining its position as managers of these properties. This has proved an effective strategy for CLP as it has allowed them to expand their brand name properties aggressively within a reasonable debt-load while retaining the profits from property management. CLP's two largest joint venture partners are UBS AG (UBS) Wealth Management and DRA Advisors, which together own 60% of the space managed by CLP. Furthermore, CLP claims that it can fund its current planned development pipeline without accessing capital markets.[4]
A glut of homes on the market might reduce prices sufficiently to attract many renters to purchase homes. This phenomenon has only affected the company's operations in Phoenix and Orlando, where over-construction was severe. In other locations, only the largest apartments with three bedrooms directly compete with houses, and this is only a small portion of CLP's apartment holdings.[5]
CLP's management believes that population and job growth in the Sunbelt states will continue to out-pace the national average. The company claims that recently 60% of the new jobs created in the United States were located in the Sunbelt. Furthermore, baby boomer retirees from northern states are expected to continue their southern migration, feeding demand for residential housing. CLP's current development pipeline shows that much of CLP's planned expansion is in top quartile growth cities such as Charlotte, Austin, and Phoenix.[6]
To access capital for building, CLP routinely sells off its developments after completion while continuing to manage and operate the property. If investors believe residential real estate to be a poor investment, a likely scenario considering current market conditions, then CLP will be unable to free up sufficient capital to continue its most profitable activity: development.
Of the four multi-family REITs with a national presence, CLP is the smallest and least diversified geographically. However, due to its use of joint ventures, it has maintained a lower debt load than many of its competitors. Furthermore, most CLP properties include amenities such as swimming pools, 24-hour exercise facilities, jacuzzis, clubhouses, and tennis courts.[7] Unlike its competitors, CLP places a unique emphasis on building mixed-use developments (which include residential, retail, and office space within the same property) and has developed strong relationships with retailers such as Target (TGT), AnnTaylor Stores (ANN), Regal Entertainment Group (RGC), and Williams-Sonoma (WSM).[8] This is important as it serves to distinguish CLP's Colonial Village and Colonial Grand brands from the properties of its competitors.

Facebook Ads Strengthen Your School's Story
Vol. 15 No. 5
Facebook is the go-to social media outlet for sharing your messages, offers, and events with your community. The once free social giant has changed its algorithm several times over the years, making communications more challenging for companies and losing some of its support along the way. However, it remains at the top of the pyramid for social advertising strategies, so we are forced to reignite our love for its capabilities.
The days of posting your school's messages, bulletins, events, multimedia, and shared interests without a plan are gone. Now, to maximize efforts on Facebook, not only do we need to invest in our communications, we need to have a well thought-out plan about what it is we're sharing with our audience and community. For small communications departments and teams in schools, this can be overwhelming. It doesn't have to be, though. Let's take a look at how Facebook is currently configured.
The nitty-gritty
To be seen, your school's messages need to show up in people's newsfeeds. And then to maximize that exposure, you need people to engage and interact with your messages.
Let's start with how to get your messages to appear in people's newsfeeds.
There are several types of messages your school can share. Facebook has recently updated their dashboard for organizations. If you're an administrator for your school's page, then you've most likely seen the new icon options making it easier than ever to choose what sort of message you'd like to share. There are eight to choose from:
- share a photo or video;
- create an advertisement;
- craft a message geared to get phone calls;
- craft a message focused on engaging conversations;
- post a map to help people find your school;
- create an event such as an open house, championship game, or alumni gala;
- create an offer; or
- simply write a note.
Any one of these types of posts can then be "promoted." Promoting a post exposes it to a wider circulation within your criteria. Meaning, you select the demographics and geographic area for impressions, e.g., men and women, 25-65, fans and friends of fans, within 100 miles of current location, or interested in education. Facebook then calculates an estimated cost for reaching your goal.
If you choose not to promote messages, only one to two percent of your followers will see your messages.
What's worthy of promotion?
This is where strategy comes into the mix. Not every message you post needs a budget. Posts that are of particular interest to your followers—such as video clips of last night's big game, graduation day photos, new stories reporting on the debate club's win at nationals—organically attracts engagement. We call this buzz-worthy content.
Engagement is any time a follower likes, shares, or comments on your posts. The more people who interact with your messages, the more people Facebook will expose it to. This is the secret to "going viral."
Buzz-worthy content needs less monetary support than messages inviting people to events, locating your campus, or asking people to participate in an offer. These messages, although interesting to some, are less likely to generate organic reach because they don't appeal to the general public—they are more targeted, i.e., alumni, sports fans, donors, etc.. Yet, they are just as important.
This is where your Communications Team can really get creative. Events can be created on Facebook with a link directing interested attendees to a unique landing page, enticing viewers to register and offering more detailed information. From here, their interest in your event can be shared with their Facebook followers and friends, helping to generate additional momentum to your event. And, depending on how many social platforms your school maintains, messages can be tweeted, pinned, and posted leading back to your registration page—expanding your reach and building upon your paid efforts.
Planning tips
- It costs less money to advertise to fans than non-fans.
- Images help visually tell your story or illustrate your message. Include relevant graphics with your posts whenever applicable to boost interest.
- Search Facebook for other pages of interest to your followers.
are interested in.By searching in the Facebook search option for "pages liked by people who like [name of your school]" you'll see the most popular interests of your fans. Then, while setting up your advertisements and boosted posts, you can include those interests in your demographics.
- Average daily spend per advertisement is $50.
- Always have a strategy for following-up with those engaging with your events. This is especially important for efforts concerning donors and alumni.

With the development of the Federal Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1970 and corresponding state programs, employers were given the statutory responsibility to provide their employees with a workplace free of recognized hazards. BDN can help you establish a safe workplace by establishing a proactive monitoring program.
Chemical Exposure Assessment Monitoring
Learn More
BDN can assist employers by conducting monitoring to establish that employees are not exposed to environmental stresses in excess of established permissible exposure limits (PELs). Periodic monitoring may be necessary to show that changes in the workplace have not increased employee exposures. BDN provides citation remediation as well as third party verification/documentation for employee complaints.
Using approved air sampling methods and laboratories accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), our Industrial Hygienists can monitor for toxic gases, dusts, fumes, mists and vapors.
Noise Exposure Monitoring
Learn More
Whenever noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour TWA of 85 decibels, or a daily noise dose of 50% of the PEL of 90 dBA, OSHA's Noise Standard requires employers to develop and maintain an effective hearing conservation program.
BDN can monitor potentially affected employees using noise dosimeters and sound level meters to determine 8-hour TWA noise exposures. We can also measure peak impact, impulse noise and octave band analysis.
Monitoring results are analyzed to determine the proper level of hearing protection that may be warranted.
Health and Safety Program Audits and Development
BDN can conduct general health and safety audits and provide assistance in the development and implementation of the following written safety and health programs as required by OSHA.
Respiratory Protection Programs
Learn More
Written Respiratory Protection Programs (29 CFR 1910.134)
- Assist in the selection of respirators
- Provide qualitative fit test services
- Conduct employee respiratory protection training
Hazard Communications Programs

8 things your assisted living residents don't want to hear
Evan Thompson
Serving and caring for older adults can be incredibly difficult. Good communication, however, can keep person-centeredness at the forefront.
Approach conversations with care to elicit reactions that match your good intentions. Here are reminders of eight word or phrase choices to avoid when speaking with residents. Feel free to share this column with new workers who may be inexperienced in serving senior living residents.
1. "Sweetie" or "Honey"
Infantilizing older adults in your care is patronizing. You could try "Sir" or "Ma'am," general titles of respect applicable to all adult men and women. Calling a resident by his or her name, however, is an ideal way to open a conversation. If possible, find out how the resident prefers to be addressed.
2. "What's it like to be your age?"
This question implies that you are treating an older adult differently than others. Or it could remind a resident of health issues that he or she does not want to discuss. So never open a dialogue with this question.
If you want to strike up a personal conversation, try a more subtle approach, such as: "Tell me, Frank, how has the culture of senior high school changed since you graduated?"
If a resident wants to share something with you, he or she is more likely to do so on his or her own.
3. "How could you forget that?"
It goes without saying that this question is inappropriate for those with dementia. But short-term memory loss is a common complaint among older adults. In fact, short-term memory can go before long-term.
As a result, residents may tend to forget all kinds of small things, such as where they put their glasses or cane. Such memory lapses can be frustrating without your calling attention to them.
What you can do to help is offer to place, or suggest the resident place, a few Post-it notes on the desk, refrigerator and the bathroom mirror as reminders.
When reminding residents of something, do so using a gentle tone. Saying something such as, "You are likely to trip and fall if you forget to keep your glasses handy, resulting in a serious injury" can keep the tone lighter.
Most importantly, try not to lose your patience, because impatience is what can trigger the hurtful demeanor of conversation.
4. "You could do that if you really tried."
Caregivers have heard that they must encourage residents to participate in various activities and routine tasks to avoid loneliness or isolation. A thin line exists between encouragement and compulsion, however.
Even if an older adult is in physically fit condition, that doesn't mean he or she should go out there and play football. The resident needs to start with manageable activities such as a stroll in the garden.
Aim for person-centered service and care, stopping an activity for the resident when he or she no longer wants to participate. Forcing a resident into doing things that he or she doesn't like isn't going to help anyone, including you and your colleagues.
5. "I just showed you how to do that yesterday."
Whether it is handling the new TV remote or making a video call with their children, older adults may find learning new technology to be a challenge. With patience, however, you can teach them to use the latest gadgets. Most cable operators and even cellphone operators provide senior-friendly gadgets that make the learning process a lot easier.
Alternatively, for instance, you can print the step-by-step instructions in a large point size and leave them near the TV remote. You also can contact volunteers from the nearest senior center, high school, community center or college to teach basic internet and computer skills to the residents at your assisted living community.
6. "You already told me that."
We all have a tendency to repeat ourselves at some point. We can get upset with older adults, however, when they repeat themselves often. Be patient; responsible caregivers listen to these repetitions.
7. "Why is your room (or apartment, or bed) so messy?"
Keeping an apartment, room or bed tidy becomes increasingly difficult in old age, particularly if one has an ailment such as arthritis. Aging also brings a variety of hygiene and cleanliness issues to the forefront — which is why some older adults seek out assisted living. Caregivers should expect to be confronted by these issues regularly.
8. "Let me give you a hand."
Of course residents in your community may need assistance with certain activities of daily living. Promoting independence where possible, however, not only instills a sense of achievement and dignity in residents; it also assures them that they can control certain aspects of their lives and is in keeping with the person-centered approach.
So let residents be as self-sufficient as safely possible. If they can take a stroll or use a computer on their own, for instance, then let them do it.
Those of us in senior living will have to connect and reconnect with residents as we work to improve our relationships with them. Avoiding the aforementioned eight comments is a step in the right direction.

Having stemmed the flow of defeats since his arrival, Guus Hiddink seems to be bringing the good times back to Stamford Bridge. As a result, it would prove spectacularly harsh if the club didn't, at the very least, consider him to become permanent manager.
In two spells in west London, the Dutchman has proven a force to be reckoned with in the dugout. Although far from an A-list manager, his unparalleled footballing nous has seen fantastic results sprout from his time in England.
Roman Abramovich's decision to bring Hiddink back has proven a fantastic call from an often-erratic figurehead. For once, the Russian was calculated in his move and the club is reaping the rewards already.
Currently unbeaten, Hiddink has pulled the plug on the chain of losses that epitomised Jose Mourinho's start to the campaign. The ex-Netherlands manager has quite simply put the brakes on Chelsea's domestic nosedive.
Despite this, the 69-year-old is far from considered one of the candidates to assume the role permanently in the summer.
Albeit Hiddink's superb record at Stamford Bridge, Abramovich is likely to embark on a spot of pre-season managerial window-shopping.
Of course the prospect of Pep Guardiola or Diego Simeone is tantalising, but it would be cruel to dismiss Hiddink when he has been so successful.
The Dutchman's record speaks for itself. Over the course of two tenures at Chelsea, he has only lost a single game out of 29 and secured the FA Cup in 2009.
Neither Guardiola nor Simeone have managed in the Premier League before, so although they possess prominent reputations, they may prove an unknown quantity in English football.
In a time where the ravaged squad needs nurturing, Chelsea should play safely as opposed to taking a gamble on a manager simply because they're a 'big name'. Even Jurgen Klopp has warned Guardiola over the dog-eat-dog environment of the Premier League.
On the contrary, Hiddink has displayed his ability to muster results in the world's most merciless league competition over two spells.
On both occasions the 69-year-old has been handed the reins at the club, he has defied the odds with his ability to resurrect squads emaciated of confidence. Besides, why annul all his hard work by being stubborn over only handing him an interim role?
The Dutchman may be old and there me be more appetising offers on the table but in a results-based business, it's hard to look past Hiddink and his seemingly impregnable record in west London.

While more than one-third of corporate travelers typically feel positive about traveling for business, that doesn't mean they all enjoy a stress-free experience. In fact, a massive 93 percent of business travelers heading to international destinations feel stressed-out at some point along their journey.
The info comes from a survey conducted by Booking.com, which collected responses from 4,500 corporate travelers from eight different countries. So where is all this travel-related stress coming from? American business travelers are most anxious about:
- 32 percent: Missing a flight or train
- 26 percent: Language issues or barriers
- 22 percent: Possibility of lost luggage
- 21 percent: Being in unfamiliar territory
- 18 percent: Getting around the city
- 18 percent: Losing essential documents, such as passport or presentation
- 17 percent: IT setup, possibility devices won't work
- 16 percent: Canceled meetings
- 16 percent: Meeting or presenting to people they don't know
- 13 percent: Cultural differences
- 12 percent: Losing a company-owned laptop, mobile phone or other device
The biggest stressors by far for American corporate travelers erupt in and around the airport. International travel delays and cancellations topped the anxiety list, with a 47-percent vote. Thirty-two percent were most concerned about missing their flight, while jet lag was most loathed by 42 percent of the respondents. Airport security was another stress point for 26 percent of American business travelers.
Once American business travelers land in foreign lands, many encounter a whole new set of stressors. More than one-quarter of American travelers are anxious about language barriers and issues, while 21 percent fret about being in unfamiliar territory. Cultural differences bring angst to 13 percent.

Simply being away from their families and friends is another source of anxiety, with more than one-third pegging it as their least favorite aspect about travel. Men are a shade more likely than women to feel this way, with 40 percent of men deeply missing their favorite folks, compared to 34 percent of women.
While the Booking.com survey touched on the most common stressors, myriad others are likely to be part of the business travelers' mix. These include pre-travel planning activities, finding and booking accommodations, and arranging ground transportation to the airport and at their ultimate destination. Getting around an unfamiliar city can also induce worry, as can meeting and presenting to new people for the first time.
Don't forget the need to hang onto receipts, figure out if your meals and other purchases are compliant, and track your other expenses. Add a decrease in regular exercise, less-than-healthy food choices, and a lack of sleep, and it's no wonder business travelers pack along stress wherever they go.

No Pain!/
Two months to the day of Ironman Arizona, I enjoyed my first truly pain-free run. Hallelujah.
This wasn't any run either. For those of you who live near Sherman Oaks, I climbed Woodcliff St. all the way to Mulholland Drive. And ran back down, a beating on the quads.
Did I mention it was pain-free?
The best part? I re-discovered a near eight-minute mile, clocking an 8:20 with my new running form and what felt like minimal effort. Glutes were firing. Legs were kicking. Forefoot was striking.
Here's my Garmin run data below. I know it's not that impressive from a distance or speed perspective, but the progress alone was the best Friday gift I could get.
To top it off, I made it out of work early enough to attend the Black Dog Yoga deep stretch class tonight. This opened my hips up wide, along with my smile as many of my Fortius teammates joined in the fun. Some of whom I haven't seen in weeks.
Now I'm going to take Steph out to dinner.
In short, this weekend is starting off just right.
151 days and counting.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill's team selection against Norway will not change even if their play-off place is confirmed before kick-off in Oslo.
O'Neill's side have already secured second place in Group C, with eight of the group runners-up advancing to November's play-offs, and Northern Ireland will be assured of one of those berths if Greece fail to beat Cyprus on Saturday night.
Even if that does not materialise, a draw or defeat for Scotland in Slovenia on Sunday would also book Northern Ireland a two-legged tie next month.
O'Neill has six players which are one caution away from missing that potential first leg, so some prior knowledge about their play-off situation could be vital if he did not want to risk those players.
Yet O'Neill is not allowing himself to sweat on other results elsewhere, particularly with the draw for the play-offs being seeded and the preparation time he has.
"It was great for us to secure second place, but we've never felt that was necessary going to be enough," he said in Oslo.
"We didn't celebrate after the game against Czech Republic, we were delighted to finish second in the group, but it was always in my mind that we would come here needing something from this game.
"We'll approach the game with the intention of trying to win the game and not to be beaten.
"We just can't pick two teams, you couldn't throw a team out on the pitch with less than 24 hours notice and say, 'Go and play'.
"I can't take chances. If the alternative is to take that chance and miss out, or to go into the play-offs with players missing (through suspension)… I have to do the right thing and the right thing is to try and win the game.
"We spoke to the players earlier about it, and said 'look, the scenario is this: if we can win the game it strengthens our hand in terms of will we be seeded or not,' that's a big incentive as well.
"We just can't approach it with anything other than the mentality to try and win the game.
"We've had two days between the games and one of them is the travel day, this is our first meaningful training session where we get an hour on the pitch.
"We can't say, 'If the game finishes like this we'll play with this team, if the game finishes like this we'll play with this team'. We will prepare regardless of what happens elsewhere."
O'Neill believes his players are subscribing to his theory too, referencing the way they qualified for Euro 2016 with a game to spare before drawing in Finland to ensure they finished top of their group.
"The players are very focused, we've not relaxed in any way about it and thought, 'Yeah, we're fine'. Not at all," he said.
"We qualified for France with a game to spare but we still had the incentive to go and win the group in Finland which we did.
"Most players in my squad have played out game 10 (of a qualification campaign) with nothing to play for. It's a nice position to be in that the last two tournaments game 10 has meant something.
"These are the positions we want to be in, games we want to be involved in. I can see the players' edge is there, they're not relaxed at all and they know there's a job to do and the focus is on doing that job."

Whiplash injuries commonly occur in motor vehicle accidents, and often are at least a partial basis for personal injury claims. An individual's head and neck are often the parts of the body that are most susceptible to injury, since a narrow spine is the sole support for a much larger head. When the impact of a car accident occurs, the occupant of the vehicle often is thrown back and forth in a violent manner, which causes the neck to act as a whip, forcing the head beyond its normal range of motion. Whiplash injuries also are commonly known as soft tissue injuries, since they tend to affect the ligaments, tendons, and muscles in the neck.
Even in what appears to be a minor car accident, whiplash injury is a possibility. The impact of another motor vehicle, even at a speed of only 30 mph, is more than enough to cause a serious whiplash injury that can have lasting consequences for the affected individual. Symptoms of whiplash can include headaches, neck soreness and stiffness, swelling around the neck, and muscle spasms in the shoulders and arms.
Whiplash can result in neck injuries, injuries to the cervical spine, cervical disc herniation or rupture, and even brain injuries. Therefore, it is essential that you get medical treatment as quickly as possible following any type of motor vehicle accident, even if you initially do not feel as if you have been injured. In many cases, soreness and stiffness of the neck do not set in until a day or more following the accident, which can result in a delay in treatment that exacerbates the medical condition.
At Boller & Vaughan, we know that suffering serious injuries such as whiplash in an auto accident or any other type of situation can be a stressful, emotional, physically painful, and financially draining event. Allow us to take some of the burden of this situation from you and your family by allowing us to handle your personal injury claim, which will allow us to work toward getting you the compensation that you need and deserve. As skilled Madison car wreck lawyers, we are here to help you through this ordeal from a legal perspective, while you concentrate on healing from your injuries and recovering from the financial impact of the accident.

Misguiding Your Life Lyrics
Artist: Edguy
Album: Savage Poetry
A dawn on the run, nowhere to hide in a life of
Corruption, insanity has won, living in hate
And preaching destruction
I'm screaming tonight, my vengeance
To fight has killed all morality
The cries of the toll and madness control
And liberate my energy - Axe to the wax !
Misguidin' your life, you'll reach
The empire of madness
I will be rife, driven by insanity or hate
Misguidin' your life, you'll reach
The empire of madness
I will be rife, driven by insanity
Lunacy and rage are raving in my head, reign
Back to back, c'mon be my slave, the beauty
In your face will be fading to black

text: This great story, like many others, starts in a whiskey bar in Japan. Caesar ordered a 12-year-old Macallan scotch on the rocks—and was served his beverage in a rocks glass with a giant ball of ice, made with a $2000 copper machine that turns a block of ice into a sphere. The ball shape minimizes the surface area exposed to air, thus it melts slower. That mean—now stay with us here—that the ball chills a drink for longer without watering it down. Foiled again by the Japanese, he set about making a cheaper alternative to this genius ice ball, landing on an ultra durable mold made of silicone rubber. See, it pays to go to the next whiskey bar.

"It's Carrie Baby!"
"It's Carrie Baby!" The initial words that come to mind when you want to go out with your gals and have an evening to "remember..." or not? Carrie (is unfortunately) the main character of popular 90's sitcom SATC, but her essence is so much more than that. Carrie's style is girly, fun, flirty, and completely OUT there. I'm not fond of Carrie but I do admire of her ability to be a total girly-girl and consistently push the envelope with her clothing choices. I, myself, am much more of tomboy!
My good friend, and obvious fashion guru, Kristine Constantino convinced me to push my limits and go in a direction I would normally shy away from - what do you guys think? "It' Carrie Baby!" Even though I view myself as much more of a Samantha ;)

Remy Tremblay's Sloth Slithers Out Of The Others: 7 Sins!
July 17, 2014 by brennon
Remy Tremblay is quite the sculpting master and he's been working closely with Studio McVey and Guillotine Games on The Others: 7 Sins. His latest masterpiece is the awesome and HUGE 60mm miniature, Sloth...
As well as standing at 60mm tall it's immensely wide and bulky too. It's quite the marvel of sculpting and if this is just one of the demons you're going to be getting your hands on I think we're in for a real treat with this game. Add to that the miniatures we've seen in the past, both demonic and human, and you have quite the repertoire already.
I love the creepy slug-like nature of this Sloth and when you combine that with the creepy human face leering out from underneath that pulsing brain you have quite the frightening figure.
Is this on your radar?

My daughter gave up eating gluten at the age of 8. She had a lab test after my diagnosis, and her results were also positive. Gluten sensitivity runs in our family.
Ever since my little one was a baby, she had a very difficult time falling asleep. She just couldn't settle down. A few weeks after leaving gluten behind, her 3rd grade teacher asked how things were going being "gluten free." My daughter's response was "Oh, it is much easier to pay attention in class, my behavior has improved, and I'm able to fall asleep when it's bedtime."
Wow! I felt so happy. I had no idea that she had noticed a difference in her sleep patterns. This was a new symptom to me. I always thought that I was doing something wrong as a mother because my daughter took over an hour to fall asleep. It had become a struggle. I knew that if she didn't get enough sleep that she would be quite cranky the next day. We had many days filled with intense behavior, and my only offense was to be sure she had enough sleep. The full amount of sleep was always rare.
My mother, who is in her 70s, has also left gluten in the dust. Again, being that gluten sensitivity can be genetic, my mom was tested after my diagnosis. Sure enough, she is also gluten sensitive...think of that...3 generations...child, mother, and grandmother. Several weeks after no gluten, my mom also experienced a difference in her sleep. She was astonished because for the first time in her life she was able to lay down and fall asleep easily at night. Family and friends recall when my mom was a child she had the hardest time falling asleep.
What a relief for my mom and daughter. Just think of how many years they have combined of trying to fall asleep. Our household evenings are no longer run by gluten! :)

I was delighted to get a DM from Andrew James letting me know I'd won their Easter RT competition. They were holding an egg decorating competition to win a chocolate fountain and they had some great entries. For retweeting about the competition, they also had this prize which I was delighted to win. It will be put into great use soon.
The movie poster from Faber also arrived. I didn't brave taking it out whilst the twins were ready to pounce!

UG holds Stakeholders Oil and Gas Symposium
Today, the University of Guyana began consultations on identifying and meeting demands for engineering and operations management skills in the oil and gas industry.
The one-day symposium was held at the Marriott Hotel, Georgetown. Minister of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman, in commending the university for its resourcefulness, noted that this stakeholder engagement advances the local content narrative.
"I see this initiative by the University of Guyana as another pillar that builds on the firm foundation we wish to create by helping us to continue our conversation of local content generally and the demands for engineering and operations management skills within the emerging sector specifically," Minister Trotman said.
Industry representatives from ExxonMobil and Repsol along with academics from the University of the West Indies (UWI) and University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) gave their perspectives on the limitations and opportunities for human resources in the industry for UG's consideration. The private sector, university faculties, and students were also part of the discussions.
The symposium seeks to provide initial orientation for training institutions towards the operation management of the oil and gas companies operating in Guyana.
However, Minister Trotman cautioned that focus must also be placed on the supporting sectors since there will not be large numbers of direct employment in the industry. "As you shift, think also of enhancing skills that are transferable to other sectors, example, fabrication which can be utilised in mining and shipbuilding, IT and telecommunications," he said.
UG is also seeking to understand and align itself with government's priorities, while also identifying and filling gaps in engineering skills for the industry.
This stakeholder engagement comes on the heels of a recent $100 million grant from the Ministry of Natural Resources to help the University build capacities in oil and gas.

Looks like we open up on April 3rd:
Anyone have any fun plans for the year they want to share? For me, motor died in the Spyder end of last year, so I'm doing one of the slowest engine swaps in history right now...after 5 months, the old engine is about to come out. Still trying to get my hands on a new one. Have a couple of leads that bump me to SSM, so we'll see if that ends up being the way I go. Worst case, I'll keep stealing the wife's G37.
Anyone else?
Posted By obie on 27 Feb 2016 10:25 AMI'm guessing that it will end up turbocharged eventually, but I'm thinking I may take Mr. Drake's suggestion and go e85 so I can push more boost. It will be a multi-year effort, I think. We'll start by getting the 2zz in for this year, and go from there.

Lake County prosecutors today were given another three weeks to decide on whether they will seek the death penalty in the case of a Deerfield man accused of beating his girlfriend's mother to death with a baseball bat.
Lake County Assistant State's Attorney Patricia Fix, who was joined by the lawyer for Daniel Baker, told Lake County Judge George Bridges that they needed three more weeks to obtain the rest of Baker's medical records.
Bridges granted the request, setting a new hearing date of Jan. 12.
Baker, 21, is accused of crashing his car into the Vernon Hills home of Marina Aksman, killing her with a baseball bat and then fleeing in her car with his girlfriend, Aksman's daughter. The two were picked up in Montana several days later. The daughter hasn't been charged.

Tai chi and qigong have been described as moving meditation. Some of the exercises (for example zhan zhuang) require particular mental focus.
What is meditation? There are many misconceptions about it with some people confuse it with unfocused relaxation whilst others view it with suspicion, seeing it as some kind of occult practice. Yet others think it is necessary not to have any thoughts whilst meditating.
In reality it is simply the use of focused relaxation to train the mind, and when movement is involved as well it develops the mind-body link.

Are you looking for a reliable and cheap bookkeeper? Locating this professional is not very difficult these days. Like many other owners of small businesses, you can opt for bookkeeping outsourcing. The main reason why you want to outsource is because you want to pay only for the services you need. If you employ a full-time bookkeeper, you will not pay them for keeping your books only. The law demands that you provide employees with other staffing needs. Read top Article!
These include paid leaves, performance reviews, bonuses, health insurance, on-the-job training and safe working facilities and conditions. All these obligations will make you incur costs that you can easily avoid via bookkeeping outsourcing. This is because of the fact that you will simply assign work to an independent contractor who already possesses their resources. Uncontrollably rising office overheads is a major managerial problem faced by most start-up business owners.
Did you know that employees are among the most expensive liabilities your business has? If you want to see costs declining, gradually, try farming out some of the tasks they do for you. To be specific, do bookkeeping outsourcing first. Among all your employees, bookkeepers and accountants are perhaps earning the highest salaries. If you combine their total monthly rates with their mandatory staffing needs, you are probably spending more money than your new business can afford. Remember that failure to pay employees' salaries might attract strict industrial court measures against you. visit http://www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/2053688/ping-insurance-adopts-new-bookkeeping-saying-it-wants-be-valued today!
So, whether you get new contracts, the law requires you to take care of your workers. If caring for your internal bookkeeper has become difficult, try bookkeeping outsourcing for a change. By doing so, you will have power to hire an external accountancy firm when it is really needed. When business is slow, you can keep your books and avoid spending any money. This clearly shows that substituting your internal accounting staff for independent accounting companies is a very prudent decision.
Since you will entrust a third party with your accounting work, you will no longer waste time dealing with problematic employees. When it comes to bookkeeping outsourcing, you can request part-time or full-time services. In addition, you could buy one or more services. Some of the services offered include reconciliation of bank statements, creditors and petty cash. An outsourced bookkeeper will also follow up debts payable and debts receivable on your behalf.
After locating the right accounting company to assign books to, you will just do what you are asked to do. Modern bookkeeping outsourcing services are rendered quickly via software tools. Instead of buying these tools, and spending time to learn how to use them, you should let the experts handle it for you. Since they update books every day, they are more experienced than most part-time bookkeepers Melbourne.
Besides, a company uses a large team to finish a lot of work in the shortest time possible. When you try Bookkeeping Outsourcing, you will soon forget about piling accounts because your bookkeeper is too busy or inexperienced. The rules of outsourcing are simple as all you need is a company to form a contract with. After agreeing on all important matters, the firm will take over your accounting matters and let you have more time to run other affairs.
