- Excel Book Excerpt
Excel I Just Closed an Unsaved Workbook
This page is an advertiser-supported excerpt of the book, Learn Excel 2007-2010 from MrExcel - 512 Excel Mysteries Solved. If you like this topic, please consider buying the entire e-book.
I Just Closed an Unsaved Workbook
Problem: I had 20 budget files open and I used the previous trick to close all workbooks. I used shift-click on Don't Save to close all without saving. But then I realized that I also had another file opened that I needed to save.
Strategy: If you are in Excel 2010, you might be able to recover that file. You have to meet all of these criteria:
- ● You have to be using Excel 2010
- ● The file has to be old enough to have been AutoSaved
- ● The file must never have been saved (i.e. it is still called Book7 or something like that.
When you realize that you closed Excel and did not save the workbook, follow these steps:
1. Open Excel 2010.
2. Open the File menu and go to the Recent Documents.
3. At the bottom of the right panel, use the Open Recent Documents icon.
Figure 141 Find this at the bottom of Recent Places.
Gotcha: The Recover Unsaved Workbooks feature only handles the workbooks that had never been saved.
As a test, I just closed the workbook from the next topic without saving. When I look at the unsaved documents, I have four books from the last week. None of them are the workbook from 2:10 PM on May 25.
Figure 142 Microsoft saved four workbooks that I didn't think were important.
Here's why: the workbook had been saved previously with a real file name. It will not appear in this list. But, you still have hope!
Instead, you should open the last saved version of that workbook. Then, go to File, Info, Manage Versions. The unsaved version of that file could be available there.
Figure 143 This is good...the unsaved version is still available.
You should click on the unsaved version to open it in read-only mode. The message bar will tell you that it is a temporary version.
Figure 144 Examine the workbook to make sure it is better than the last saved version.
If this workbook is the one you want to keep, click Restore. After you confirm, the workbook will overwrite the saved version.
Figure 145 Recover your unsaved changes.

Workspace Parking takes advantage of the superior Marquis Parking technology that has been archiving Avid projects in the media production space for the last several years. It provides 'set and forget' business continuity assurance.
Workspace Parking offers three backup recovery options:
- Any version of any project can be restored in its entirety
- Any bin(s) from any version of any project can be restored to any existing project
- Any workspace can be restored to any new workspace
Workspace Parking provides tier 2 storage backup of your selected workspaces. It determines which projects reference which media and adds the project files to the backup, along with any additional media that those projects need (AMA or on other workspaces). The media does not get duplicated even if used by multiple projects.
Workspace Parking offers flexibility in the sense that it can be set so that it runs at particular time periods, for example just on the weekends. The backup is stored in a simple, open folder structure, which provides ease of understanding. All copy operations whether present in or out of the backup are MD5 checksum assured.
Each time that Workspace Parking updates the backup, any pending new media and new projects are added. Projects that have been modified are updated and stored as a new version. This means that the user is still able to access previous versions in the backup. Completion of backups can trigger SMS or email alerts.

O'Neill Launches Full Investigation Into the Manumanu Land Deal – "Today's decisions are done in the best interests of our people."
The Prime Minister Hon Peter O'Neill CMG MP, has come out in full force against the allegedly corrupt Manumanu land deal. In a press conference today he called for a full Commision of Inquiry to take place to examine all the allegations that have been levelled against senior ministers and senior members of departments.
"I have referred this matter to the Police Commissioner for the Fraud Squad to carry out its own investigation, and also to the Ombudsman Commission for and leadership code breaches for their own investigations as well.
As I stated in the Parliament session last week, the National Executive Council did not have any visibility or given any specific approval for the purchase of land by these two agencies of Government." The Prime Minister said in a statement.
"A significant focus of investigations will be on the sale and purchase of portion 406 in Manumanu at a cost of 46 million Kina by Kumul Consolidated Holdings (KCH), and also the purchase of portions 422 for 7.2 million Kina and 423 for 9.2 million Kina by Department of Defence."
"It is now clear that these agencies of Government have not worked together in a co-ordinate way to facilitate the implementation of the 2012 Government NEC decision. The acquisition of this land has been done in clear violation of the Governments decision, and resulted in 78.4 million Kina being paid."
"Today, I have instructed all relevant Government agencies to furnish full reports on how this land has been acquired, and I am certain that they will assist with investigations by the Commission of Inquiry, the Police Fraud Squad and the Ombudsman Commission."
"The Commission of Inquiry will be led by a very experienced and credible person, a retired judge, to investigate all aspects of this purchase covering all of this land. We will make an announcement soon as soon as we finalise arrangements."
"As of today, I am also announcing that the Minister for Defence, Hon. Fabian Pok, and the Minister for State Enterprises, Hon. William Duma, will step aside from their ministerial responsibilities pending the conclusion and outcomes of the Commission of Inquiry."
"In the interim, the Ministry for State Enterprises will be taken care of by the Honourable Charles Abel, Minister for National Planning, and the Ministry for Defence will be taken care of by the Honourable Mao Zeming, the Minister for Fisheries."
"It is only proper that these allegations against senior members of the Government and the public service, that they be afforded the principles of natural justice and be given the opportunity to answer these allegations."
"We want to clearly demonstrate to our country and to our people that our Government is committed to the principles and practices of good governance."

The weakening Japanese yen together with the growing strength of Chinese manufacturing, not to mention rising costs of Korean labor, is placing Korea once again as the proverbial shrimp positioned between the two whales.
In fact, to a large degree, the real growth of Korean manufacturing is taking place in Korean-owned facilities outside of Korea. While this trend is real, it does not satisfactorily address what needs to be done overall. There are simply not enough Korean jobs in design, marketing and administration. A core of Korea's economy must continue to be in-country manufacturing as a central economic pillar of the Korean market.
I'm writing with the assumption that a disproportionate percentage of readers are expatriates in Korea. Consequently, I am specifically writing to this audience, but what I have to say may also apply to Korean managers.
Though only 11 percent of the Korean workforce is unionized, that small percentage has a disproportionate influence on the overall workforce. Furthermore, I suspect when it comes to foreign-owned factories in Korea, the percentage is considerably higher. While some unions have been discredited in the public eye for all ready being well paid and perhaps spoiled, many media-grabbing labor actions highlight a real or imagined "struggle" between management and other employees in many non-unionized employee's minds.
As the old saying goes, "what we have here is a failure to communicate.'' This is the perennial challenge of any organization, but in Korea with cultural,language and sometimes political divides to cross, this issue has the potential to drive even Job up the wall.
The biggest failure for communication is a breakdown in trust between management and employees -- organized or not. And as much as it is easy to blame radical unions, most of the time the fault must be laid at the feet of management for not putting in adequate time and effort back when problems were minor and relatively easily manageable.
Last year, when I was researching our book on doing business in Korea, I had the privilege to interview some of Korea's leading executives and attorneys. Their comments reminded me of my first professional decade as a human resources manager, first working with a bank union in Seoul and later keeping a union out of a Japanese factory in California. What struck me was even after the decades working in sales & marketing, the principles of good labor relations have not really changed -- no matter where one works.
Given the limited space on this page, I will bullet point some of the most important points that can foster management-employee trust, which in turn may get everyone reading off the same page to reduce waste, improve productivity and increase overall competitiveness. Though much of the following may seem aimed at unionized shop, most if not all applies to good employee relations, regardless if there is a union. Also, most can apply not only to Korea, but China, Japan and most of the world.
1.Establish and hold regular rap sessions between employees/employee representatives and the management team; summarizing the discussion in all-employee memoranda or in company newsletters.
2. Use company training to concretely demonstrate management's commitment to your employees and the Korea operations _ as well as upgrade professional skills and teamwork.
3. Disentangle management's compensation schemes from the union's pay increases. For example, consider keeping management's salary increases on a different cycle from the union's -- and not tied to the same economic benchmarks, such as cost of living, used to rationalize the union's pay increases. Otherwise, you may find collusion between your managers and employees.
4. Hire a new or replace your human resources manager with someone who is not only experienced but also trained. Frankly, from over a decade in international HR, I can tell you there are competent HR professionals but they are in a small minority. Too often general management does not adequately respect the HR function and too often low company expectations allow incompetency to dominate that function.
5. Treat all employees equally at all times, regardless of the manager's natural preferences. This should be a no-brainer, but it's one of those easier-said-than-done issues.
6. Communicate frequently and openly about the real situation of the company to both union leadership and employees so informed employees can in time differentiate between company business concerns and union political concerns.
7. Use athletic and social events as opportunities to signal to the rest of the employees that the union and management are getting along with mutual respect.
8. Put in all the time that is necessary with the union or your employees' concerns -- even if it may seem excessive compared to one's past assignments.
9. Spend at least three times as much time communicating with your Korean management team about dealing with the union as directly communicating with the union. One bad manager can destroy a great deal of union bridge building in Korea. This also applies to non-union shops when it comes to good management-employee relations.
10. Be aware that often senior local managers harbor grudges and prejudices against the union or groups of employees. One may find that 90 percent of your management's thinking needs to change. It is equally important to work for change with your managers as with one's union or one's other employees.
11. Recognize in most instances that management has much more power and resources than the union. If you are a certain distance apart between labor and management, management should travel 90 percent and labor 10 percent -- and then, together, the two can move on and steer back to the center.
12. Don't restrict negotiating to the time of CBA re-negotiations. A skillful general manager is always negotiating. Sometimes he or she will try for a major union concession shortly after a CBA has been signed when the union leadership may be emotionally worn out.
13. Consider unions are often like adolescents in that they are constantly probing to see what their limits may be. It is important to clearly and concretely communicate one's limits and governing principles.
14. Do not allow unions to have a voice in promotions. Promotion is a key management control vehicle. Koreans highly value promotions for social as well as economic reasons. Management should have full control in this area as a way to keep employees in line.
Regardless of how many of the above points may apply to your company, the truly effective manager is the one who personally takes the initiative to learn about his or her employees by walking about and asking questions about them both on a personal level and professional level. Korean employees sincerely appreciate senior managers taking sincere interest in them as human beings and they are often proud to demonstrate their expertise in their given company roles. Often the difference between a successful manager who instills strong employee loyalty versus the remote manager who is often at odds with the employees is whether that executive takes a regular initiative to spend time really trying to get to know the employees and to learn from them how they are making company contributions.

these are all wild trees, collected from the wild. Otherwise you would never get all this character on such small trees. These are not for sale. I will have similar ones in a few months and sell many in my garden.

What the U.S.–China Trade War Means for the Art Market
Artsy Editorial
This original etching is hand signed by the artist "Picasso" at the lower right margin.
It was printed by Lacourière in a limited edition of 250 impressions in 1939 and published by A. Vollard, Paris.
A further 50 impressions were printed on larger Montval paper.
This is the 59th plate in La Suite Vollard, Picasso's most important series of etchings, and was realised on the 31st March 1933.
The paper bears the Vollard watermark in the right margin.
Note: The Suite Vollard, created between 1930 and 1937, was named after its publisher, the French art dealer and critic Ambroise Vollard. Picasso and Vollard shared a close working relationship up until 1910; however, after this date Vollard was no longer Picasso's dealer though the two continued to collaborate on publishing projects. In 1930, Vollard, encouraged by the success of two earlier ventures, ambitiously commissioned 100 plates from Picasso and by 1937 the plates were completed and given to master printer Roger Lacourière to print. The entire edition comprises 3 copies on parchment, 50 copies on larger format Montval paper (50 x 38 cm.) and 250 on smaller format Montval paper 44.5 x 34 cm.). Tragically, Ambroise Vollard died in a car crash on 22 July 1939 leaving the project temporarily suspended, until a greater part of the edition was purchased by the print dealer Henri Marie Petiet. After World War II, Petiet engaged Picasso to sign a certain number of sets, and this continued up until 1969 but ceased with the publication of the 347 Series. Hence, a large number of the prints from the edition of 250 remain unsigned.
Provenance: Henri Marie Petiet (1894-1980). with his hand written number verso.
Condition: Very good condition. Very pale staining in the margins.
A prolific and tireless innovator of art forms, Pablo Picasso impacted the course of 20th-century art with unparalleled magnitude. Inspired by African and Iberian art and developments in the world around him, Picasso contributed significantly to a number of artistic movements, notably Cubism, Surrealism, Neoclassicism, and Expressionism. Along with Georges Braque, Picasso is best known for pioneering Cubism in an attempt to reconcile three-dimensional space with the two-dimensional picture plane, once asking, "Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?" Responding to the Spanish Civil War, he painted his most famous work, Guernica (1937), whose violent images of anguished figures rendered in grisaille made it a definitive work of anti-war art. "Painting is not made to decorate apartments," he said. "It's an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy." Picasso's sizable oeuvre includes over 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, theater sets, and costume designs.
Spanish, 1881-1973, Malaga, Spain, based in Paris and Mougins, France

Day 3 of NZFW was ripe with daring, sultry design for Skirts and Squats. Kristen attended two shows, Wynn Hamlyn and Stolen Girlfriends Club, in an outfit that screamed bold, seductive, and classic.
The Look
The star of the show was the pair of red leather thigh-high heels. A staple in Kristen's wardrobe, these heels are an incredible mix of bold and beautiful, seductive and sultry, classic and trendy. She matched these shoes perfectly with the bold, red lip which has been trending for over three years in the beauty industry.
With a pair of shorts to show off a strip of skin, this look elongates the legs for a runway-ready, model-appropriate outfit. We love how Kristen paired this look with a classic camel and black trench. The coat goes past the thigh highs to form a subtly spicy vibe.
Underneath the coat, we can spot the delicateness of a pale pink, knitted top. This blouse peeks out at the neckline and wrists, urging us to look closer at its unique design. This adds a new dimension to the traditional layering look of different length long sleeves.
The addition of a rose gold, numberless watch and diamond bracelet adds another layer of class and sophistication to this fiery ensemble.
NZ Chic
The dynamics of this outfit, pairing the red leather thigh high heels with the classic camel-colored trench, blended beautifully with the Wynn Hamlyn show. Hamlyn, a burgeoning contemporary designer from Auckland, provides a unique take on women's ready-to-wear with his fusion of playfulness and elegance.
Kristen absolutely loves how Hamlyn uses locally sourced merino knitwear in his designs, a generous hats-off to the New Zealand textile world. For this year's show, Hamlyn partnered with The Flooring Foundation to create rug designs to parallel his runway show. In these rugs, he depicted the life cycles of plants living and dying in a world disturbed by irreversible climate change. This fashioned a bold social statement… just like his runway looks and Kristen's audacious day-3 outfit.

Later that evening, Kristen flaunted her ensemble to the Stolen Girlfriends Club show. One of the most entertaining and engaging shows of the week, Marc Moore's brand blew up the stage with "violence, terror, and chaos" (a quote from one of his designs). Kristen's sexy look melded perfectly with the edgy crowd, while her classically elegant shirt added a new vibe that had people buzzing.

One of the best parts of the Stolen Girlfriends Club brand is its beginnings as an art show. Designer Marc Moore, who grew up in Raglan and spent 9 years as a NZ competitive surfer, emphasizes the artistry of fashion, which he brings to life in a community of firm brand believers. Kristen is proud to say she's a strong part of this daring, innovative, artistic community as well.

Day 2 and Day 3 had completely different outfit styles. From vintage grunge to trendy sexy, Kristen is already showing her versatility in the fashion week world. We're so excited to report on what she has for the upcoming days…


text: As a follow-up to my previous blog on Rhode Island's Taxpayer Fleeing the State, the chart below shows the gross in- and out-migration of income from Rhode Island to Florida. Naturally, there are critics of the study, but no one has yet to address this smoking gun. If the estate tax has nothing to do with the out-migration of income to Florida, then what explains the sudden surge in 2004? Did the weather suddenly get better in Florida or worse in Rhode Island?

Warning: This blog entry reveals a bit of cynicism.
I would like to believe that the boards of major corporations actually understand the value of a diverse workforce, including at the executive level. Varied experience and viewpoints can provide perspective and insights to generate exciting strategies or solve complex challenges.
If the leadership of General Motors and IBM truly valued diversity, would Mary Barra and Ginni Rometty be their first female CEOs? Really?
These women are bright, accomplished, highly skilled, and deserve to be CEOs.
But, look at the timing.
Barra became CEO as General Motors while dealing with the largest vehicle recall ever (29 million so far, according to FORTUNE magazine). They declared bankruptcy and needed a government bailout not that long ago. And the intractable "GM culture" poses a significant challenge for any CEO.
Rometty is CEO of IBM as revenue has been declining (-5% to $99.8 Billion in 2013) and the media keeps asking "Can IBM Ever be COOL Again?"
What is the logic? When a fairly homogenous group of corporate leaders find themselves in a terrible situation, do they think Well, maybe it's time to give a minority or a female executive a "chance." Why not? If the executive fails to pull the corporation out of the mess, some bigoted people would have their biases confirmed. After all, they weren't expecting success anyway. And if/when the female (or minority) executive succeeds despite the huge odds against her, she probably won't be compensated higher for that incredible accomplishment. She could also become so tired after pulling a huge corporation into the future, she may just retire.
And then, who will the rescued corporation bring in as her successor? Usually, the corporations revert back to homogeneity. Look at the composition of corporate boards!
This reminds me of observations my late husband had about governmental entities with which he worked. Leaders of states, counties or municipalities would repeatedly find themselves in "messes.' Then they would scratch their heads and say, "You know what?! We need to bring in a community planner." If they had actually understood and valued planning, wouldn't the professional planner have been brought in long ago? And the "big mess" would have been prevented.
Be honest with yourself. Look at the composition of your executive team and your board. And look at the timing of when you "give a woman or a minority a chance." Are you really setting people up to fail or serve as scapegoats for problems that resulted from homogeneity? (Similar people with similar thinking using similar approaches)

Veronica is staying in the executive suite of the Orion hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Nevada. She is about to enter the world of High Stakes poker.
The Lilac vapors rose with the steam as Veronica Sweets admired all five feet two inches of her perfectly sculpted body partially reflecting back through the mist in the full length mirror. The heated marble floors radiated warmth through the souls of her feet. Her hair a natural auburn had recently been dyed black and it made her feel very powerful. Her eyes sparkled an unnatural blue as they took in her nudity amongst the back drop of the master bath of the executive suite of the Orion Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Nevada. Her belly was a little bigger than normal from the executive meal she had just consumed and now she was going to enjoy the Roman bath she had looked forward to since spying it for the first time less than an hour before.
"Veronica you have arrived." Said Miss Sweets as she slid into the soft water of the over sized bath.
A plate of chocolate covered strawberries and a tall glass of Asti Spumanti were the perfect complement to the excellent meal she had just devoured. A half hour slipped by as all of Veronica's cares vanished in the bath. Drying herself with an Egyptian cotton towel and then slipping on the plush white robe monogrammed with Orion she thought to herself. Roni you could get used to this real easy. A cell phone rang in the next room which she ignored as she brushed her hair. I guess it's time to go to work she thought exchanging the comfortable robe for black leather Versace pants that hugged in all the right places. The Versus pullover turtleneck was polyester but it shimmered like leather and with a few tugs and pulls displayed the girls in all of their glory. Diamond stud earrings and Steve Madden stiletto heels completed the ensemble.
Thanks for the meal John I am going to go play some poker she whispered to the corpse on the bed. On the bed lay the body of John Tuberfield, Chief executive of Tulsa Power and Light. John had been unfortunate enough to have been given the executive suite the same weekend that Veronica had decided to play some poker in Vegas. If Veronica wasn't a vampire it would not be difficult for her to pick up men. But being a vampire meant she could not only choose her company for the evening but through telepathy she knew everything there was to know about them before she got them to their rooms.
Most vampires avoid the lime light, they quietly go about their lives taking anonymous victims and working as mortgage brokers, hedge fund managers, hospital administrators, or even therapists-they make really good therapists. But Veronica Sweets was not your typical vampire she was not content with eating homeless people and working a nine-to-five job. Most of the outlaw vampires simply go into dealing drugs as it provides plenty of money, plenty of food sources and a lifestyle most vampires are content with. But Veronica hadn't longed for the lifestyle either. She wanted to be a gambler.
John Tuberfield had been a regular card player in Vegas since his days at Enron. Like all good poker players he knew when to fold and moved on from Enron with a bank account full of bonus money before the rest of the world had ever even heard of it. Tulsa Power and Light was happy to bring in such a successful and well respected executive. His experience in profiting off of bad regulations, loopholes in energy contracts, and the friendliness of local government officials towards profitable pollution and a country hungry for power that polluted someone else's backyard was a perfect match. The smaller company and private jet meant that at the end of his 60 hour weeks he could fly in to Vegas for some weekend rest and relaxation at his favorite past time, high stakes poker. But John's story is pretty much through. The $150,000 in cash he'd brought with him was heading down to the cage about to be exchanged for a rack and a half of 1000 dollar chips.
The Orion vip room was hosting a 1000/2000 rotating game that alternated between no limit Texas Holdem and limit Omaha. There were 6 players at the table when Veronica Sweets was sat by the manager.
"Well hello Little Lady, This table just got a whole lot prettier." Said Tommy Anderson a Texas Oilman who despite making a hundred times more money on his investments in European Power concerns than on crude oil still liked to be known as an oil guy.
"Good Evening Gentlemen." Said Veronica, taking note of the many wild and varied thoughts travelling through the minds of the table's occupants.
Tommy was a flirt and although he had strayed from time to time in his youth as he had grown older he was far more likely to spend the evenings with his beloved Betsy. This however did not preclude him from the normal thoughts that travel through a man's brain while his dumb smile attempts to hold the attention of a beautiful woman. Veronica made note of the sensual nature of his fantasy and found it somewhat flattering compared to what goes through most men's minds.
As for the man next to Tommy, he was a lifelong gambler and hard drinker. What got his rocks off if they would even load anymore was a lot of hard slapping name calling and hair pulling. Definitely not the kind of guy most women like to find themselves with. His name was Dick, how apropos.
Next to him was a young navy guy. Anthony Hanes like the underwear. This shit stain had come in first in the 500 dollar buy in afternoon tourney and won him $20,000 dollars. He then proceeded to the black jack tables where he won five 15,000 dollar hands in a row. He had sat down with 95,000 dollars less than an hour ago and was sitting on a stack of 20,000 now. I will get to why he is a shit stain a little later.
Mitch Irving made his living writing books about poker. He wrote about theory and practice, bankroll management and odds. He wrote about tournaments and cash games. It is a good thing his books sold so well because he lost a ton of money actually playing the game. His thoughts were more about Anthony than the hot young thing that just sat at the table and I will leave it at that.
Philippe Juarez owned a Cigar plantation down in the Dominican Republic. Making a 92 rated Churchill will make you famous in the cigar business. Convincing college kids that is very cool to smoke a 10 dollar cigar will make you rich. Philippe had watched the world poker tour for years and he always wanted to test his metal against those guys. Tonight he was up 75,000 but most of that was thanks to Anthony. He wasn't here to charm any ladies. He had plenty back home. He was all business.
Michael Gooding had in fact won a world poker tour event. He had also seen his share of final tables both on the tour and elsewhere. He was frustrated by Anthony's aggressive play and Phillipe's counter punches that had him laying down decent hands all night. The cards would come he kept telling himself. The cards would come. Well lady lucky may not have appeared in the form of a pair of Queens tripping up on the flop but this delicious morsel that just sat down would at least be something interesting to look at while he waited for some cards.
Veronica made seven and waited patiently for the blind taking in far more information on her opponents than any human ever could. The game was interesting as Anthony had tightened up due to his small stack, Philippe had become bolder. Philippe was seeing about 60% of the flops which would classify him as insane by most poker book standards even the ones written by Mitch. And every flop was met with a large bet by Philippe whether he had the cards or not. This made it very difficult for the others to get a read on him. His stack grew from 175,000 when Veronica had sat down to over 260, 000 an hour later. Anthony had pushed all in once with 10 10 and the only caller had been Philippe who was holding 66 the flop came 996 and everyone thought that Anthony's night was through but then a third nine hit on the river rendering Philippe's trip 6s irrelevant and Anthony won with a full house 999 10 10 to Philippe's full house 999 66. Philippe still had thought he won and the dealer had to explain to him why only two of his 6's played.
In another big hand Mitch refused to let Ace King go when the board flopped 10 7 7. Philippe raised 10,000 from early position with a Queen Jack. Mitch simply called and the turn was a 3. Philippe then bet 10,000 more on the turn and Mitch raised it 10,000. Philippe called the 10,000 and the river brought a Queen. Philippe bet 20,000 and Mitch reluctantly called it. The queen was good enough to give Philippe the win and the very large pot.
Veronica had waited very patiently but now she finally had a hand she could play. Here she was in the big blind with the King of clubs and the king of hearts. Tom Anderson folded; Dick looked down at 74 and tossed it into the muck. Anthony Hanes looked at his stack, 24,000 is what he counted but he actually had 28,000. Raise 10,000 he announced pushing 10,000 chips into the middle confident of his Jack of hearts, jack of spades. Mitch Irving folded quickly, Call said Philipe looking down at a pair of 7s one a spade the other a diamond and pushing his 10,000 toward the middle. The other players quickly folded and it was Veronica's turn to act. She knew that Anthony was going to call no matter what so she was safe to push him in for his last 18,000. She didn't think Philippe would go all in on a pair of 7s but unless he hit one but she thought he might bluff at the pot if the flop was all low cards. This made it seem like a very good bet to go ahead and put Anthony all in knowing that Philippe would call and might make a very bad bet if she were to check to him on the flop. So having read their minds and seen the cards Veronica was very confident in her next move. 28,000 She announced feigning a little hesitation hoping to give off a vibe like she had ak or aq. All in said Anthony pushing in the last 18,000 of his chips. I call said Philippe really hoping a 7 would hit the flop.
The dealer flipped over the first three cards. 10 of spades, 3 of hearts, 2 of spades. Called out the dealer as the cards hit the felt. Veronica was first to act. Check she said, I'm already all in said Anthony pretty happy the flop was all below him. All in said Philippe catching Veronica by surprise. 'All in,' she thought? Wow that is perfect that idiot just went all in with 2 outs. Unless he catches one of those 7s I am golden. I call said Veronica turning over her kings.
"Oh Crap, come on Jack" said Anthony turning up his Jack of spades and jack of hearts.
"¡mierda!" came from Phillipe.
The turn was a King of spades. Wow thought Veronica game over. And then the river came, an ace of spades.
"holy crap, I won!" said Anthony.
"what?" Said Veronica not seeing the flush.
"four to a flush on the board baby read them and weep!" Said Anthony.
"Ha, ha I won also you don't have a spade!" Said Philippe standing up and pumping his fists.
Chris the dealer said "7 high flush takes the side pot," as he shoved well over 200,000 in chips towards Phillipe who had jumped up and was rubbing the shoulders of Anthony.
"And the main pot goes to the Jack high flush." Said the dealer, pushing 85,000 chips in front of Anthony.
Veronica sat in stunned silence, a two card suck out for all of her chips. These two shit stains had drained her entire bankroll in one fluke hand. How the hell could her luck be so bad? She knew the cards, she knew the odds. She had gotten all in as a heavy favorite.
"Would you like to rebuy?" Asked the dealer Chris, with genuine empathy in his thoughts and expression.
"I am almost back to even baby!" Said Anthony with his confidence completely restored.
"I would like a couple of racks I am going to call it a night." Said Philippe stacking the enormous pile of chips in front of him.
"No, I think I am done." Said Veronica, having spent every dollar she took from John.
Well maybe poker wasn't as easy as she thought it would be. But looking over Philippe and Anthony she could at least be thankful that she would leave Vegas well fed.

Real Estate Investment in Dallas
Today, individuals and portfolio managers are seeking strong, secure, stable, long-term investments. The U.S. is one of the few economies showing steady GDP and employment and demographic growth, coupled with a strong stable currency, that altogether underpin real estate capital appreciation.
Historically, Dallas-Fort Worth has had significantly higher renter population than the broader United States. Since the 2008 recession, home-ownership has fallen and is not expected to rise back to 2005 levels. The combination of robust population growth and the low home-ownership rate will sustain strong demand for rental homes for the foreseeable future, leading to higher rents and returns for investors.

Jenks began in 1904 as a community site established by the Midland Valley Railroad between Tulsa and Muskogee, alongside the Arkansas River. Though the river could only be utilized by shallow draft steamboats while the water level was up, these two transportation routes proved vital to Jenks' early development.
Jenks was named after William Henry Jenks the owner and director of the Midland Valley Railroad. According to a 1957 article in the Tulsa Tribune, an agent for the townsite company was told by the railroad home office to name a town for the director.
The town was officially platted on July 15, 1905. Also in 1905, a major petroleum discovery was made, further bolstering the economy of the area. The "Glenn Pool" oil well and subsequent oil claims brought many business people to the general area. In 1906, many oil depots (also known as "tank farms") were constructed in Jenks. By the time of statehood, Jenks had 465 inhabitants.
Popular tourist draws include the Oklahoma Aquarium (the state's only freestanding aquarium) and the Riverwalk Crossing shopping/walking district along the Arkansas River. A pedestrian bridge links the Jenks riverfront area with the Tulsa Riverparks walking trail on the East side of the river. Another one of Jenks main attractions is the High School Football Team who has won 12 state championships, 6 of those are in a row 96-01. The Trojans have sent many players to the collegiate level in the last 15 years including Rocky Calmus (Oklahoma/Tennessee Titans), Sean Mahan (Notre Dame/Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Jason Lohr (Nebraska), Jason Carter (Oklahoma), Garrett Mills (Tulsa/Minnesota Vikings), Chase Beeler (Stanford), Bryan Pickryl (Texas), Kejuan Jones (Oklahoma), Jay Henry (West Virginia), Phillip Dillard (Nebraska/New York Giants), Corey Callans (Oklahoma), Jake Laptad (Kansas), Cory Dorris (Tulsa), Chris Adkins (Tulsa), Gabe Lynn (Oklahoma),Tramaine Thompson (Kansas State).

20 years in the making. My transformation story… 1995-2015.
Most people have 30-day stories, 6-month, and one-year stories. I had a few nudges that let me know it was time to share my story. Looking back at where to begin, it turns out, I have been living my transformation for the last 20 years. It is a journey, a lifetime process to which there is no end. There has never been a quick fix. I am on this journey every day and it is not easy, but it is necessary.
My dad always gave me the impression that I could do anything I wanted to do and in this marathon of life, I appreciate that he and my mom shaped me to see that what I do is more important than what I say I will do.
January 2015 – I knew I had to write this story when two of my clients invited me to speak at their Rotary Luncheon. From the moment I sat down next to some older ladies, I could sense they were uncomfortable with me. I had to find a commonality with the group I was speaking to and put them at ease with the person I was and the person I looked like to them. They commented on my posture and my fitness, even with my jacket on. I realized that in order to speak to them, I was going to have to share my story. I perceived they were intimidated by how I looked and I needed to make myself "real" to them. Approachable. And to let them know I did not "come the way I looked". I have earned it. It is strange and unfortunate how we make others uncomfortable with who we are simply by how we look. I spoke of my New Jersey upbringing and my family's move to California. I spoke of the heart disease and obesity in my family history and of my involvement in swimming and water polo when we moved to California. I told them about my journey through college and into the working world where I met my husband. I even told them about our ice cream diet and my dad's affinity for sending me Trader Joe's chocolates because we did not have Trader Joe's up in Seattle then.
"Looking back, I believe so deeply when I say, "you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have."
February 2015 -The next sign that it was time to share my story came when Sean and I celebrated our 20 year anniversary. I came across some pictures from our honeymoon. There was a different person looking back at me. I did not know how unhealthy I was on my way to becoming. Our life seemed to be normal. We got up and went to work, often long days. Came home, sat on the couch to baseball games, basketball games, whatever was on. If we didn't sit at home, we sat at bars with friends. I remember Taco Bell and Starbucks and sandwiches and burgers. I did my share of the cooking; chicken parmigiana and lasagna were my specialties.
May 2015 – And now, it is time to write my story. I feel like I am pretty transparent, but then I realize that many people seem to believe that who I am now is who I have always been. That it is somehow easier for me than it is for them. That I don't have to work as hard as others at being healthy. When I tell people my wedding dress was a size 16 they never believe me.
"Be water. Flowing. Flexible and soft. Subtly powerful and open. Wild and serene. Able to accept all changes, yet still led by the pull of steady tides. It is enough."
It was shortly after our wedding that blood-work came back with high cholesterol numbers. I was 23 years old. It hit me. I needed to make a change. I never noticed myself growing unhealthier. I was happy and I felt good about my life. What I had forgotten about was how good I felt when I was active. I knew what to do. I had the same fear everyone has about walking into the gym for the first time; not knowing what to do, not knowing anybody. I went to my comfort zone – the swimming pool. I had to start with much fewer laps than I remember, but bit by bit, I was back at a mile, then another mile. Every Saturday I would weigh myself before my swim and put my number on the calendar hanging in the kitchen. I swam Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays without fail. I purchased a step and some Tamilee Webb "Buns of Steel" videos. Every Monday and Wednesday and Friday were my video days. If things came up and I had to miss my night time sessions, I would get up earlier to make sure I did not miss my workouts.
We still went out, had dates, vacations, fun with friends, but my workouts took priority. We adjusted how we ate and bought a steamer. I remember night after night of chicken, asparagus and rice. If I wanted a treat, I would eat puffed rice cereal with apples and cinnamon to resemble apple crisp. Every lunch was leftovers from the night before and an orange. I worked in downtown Seattle and Starbucks was still part of the routine, but I switched to a short latte and a hard roll for every breakfast. When people brought goodies into the office, I never ate them. I told myself, "I don't eat that" and it worked. I never did eat it. I went from 169 pounds to 129 pounds. From a size 16 to a size 4 from September of 1995 to June of 1996.
And then Sean and I moved to California. I started working for the University of Redlands, as an assistant dean of admissions. I worked with the college kids who hosted prospective students and I also traveled a lot! I found Bally's gym in San Bernardino and enjoyed swimming in the outdoor pool. Again, I scheduled my time to never miss a workout. When I was traveling, running was my exercise. I ran everywhere and especially remember country roads in New England, running around porcupines and in the freezing cold in Alaska, on hotel treadmills in Orange County. I learned how to eat and where I could eat without ever eating fast food again. That was when I started to teach group exercise. The aqua aerobics classes kept getting in the way of my swims and it became easier to join them than to fight them. Teaching aqua aerobics led to my first Spinning Certification and then Pilates, sculpting, yoga, and so my fitness career alongside my "day" job began.
"Yet, your body seems wired to be overweight and your mindset has been programmed to have emotional attachments to food. It is lonely. When you find other people like you, you gravitate towards them, whatever walk of life they come from, there is a common bond."
I'm pregnant! An excuse to eat ice cream, right? My "craving" was Costco's soft-serve. This was good and bad. It's ok to be real, but not ok to forget the habits I had worked so hard to create. It was easy to maintain my exercise during pregnancy, but not as easy to eat well. Pregnancy was like an "excuse" for me. Exercise saved me. I gave birth to Brendan the morning after I had taught a class. I bounced back quickly and while I had to work at losing weight, I kept my exercise regiment and became much more conscious about my nutrition again. Just in time to become pregnant with Natalie. I learned not to allow pregnancy to be an excuse this time. I kept teaching again all through my pregnancy and gained less weight. But it was harder to come off the second time. It was then that I joined Weight Watchers.
I worked really hard at Weight Watchers. I took the kids out in the double jogging stroller every day. I taught lots of spinning, weight lifting, and pilates. The kids knew the kids clubs really well and then preschool came along. I left my position at the University of Redlands and spent more time with the kids and my classes. I reached my Weight Watchers goal weight and was asked to work for them, but my mentality differed from theirs. I enjoyed working out and getting stronger, and I found that to be successful at Weight Watchers it worked better with less muscle mass. You were deemed successful when you weighed less. Weigh-ins became a struggle as my muscle mass increased and I finally let go of the Weight Watchers way of thinking.
For over 10 years I taught classes at 3 different gyms. I attended education, went to workshops and conferences. I purchased my favorite pieces of equipment, including TRX and began my own little collection of "gym things". Once both kids were in school I began studying for my personal trainer certification and before I knew it I was offering bootcamps to the "school moms" and training people in my garage. On one hand, it seemed easy to maintain my weight. On the other hand, I always had to work for it. There were years of disagreements about where we could eat as a family because "mom won't eat there". I would always go wherever they went, but often, would plan my eating at home so that I would not have to eat out. Being healthy is not always the "in" thing and definitely disrupts how some people have fun. Holidays were tough as family traditions have always centered around food. It is lonely and you begin to find that some of your friends have never had to struggle with weight issues. Others do struggle, but do nothing about it, and it seems they resent you for doing something about your health. Your family loves you as you are, but doesn't understand all the time and changes required to live a healthy life. Yet, your body seems wired to be overweight and your mindset has been programmed to have emotional attachments to food. It is lonely. When you find other people like you, you gravitate towards them, whatever walk of life they come from, there is a common bond.
There was a passion growing inside of me and I was not understood by many people, but I felt like I was in a really good place with my health. I used balance and moderation as my nutritional guidelines. I worked out everyday, balancing Cycling with Pilates with weight training. I never settled for good enough, but knew if I was going to do something, I was going to do it with everything I had. I loved teaching fitness classes and continuously raised the bar for my participants. I was getting stronger and I was surrounded by people who wanted to get stronger too. Looking back, I believe so deeply when I say, "you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have."
I found out what I had to be strong for. Life changed.
"The one thing you can count on in life is change," a client reminded me. Another client reminded me that "we come into this world alone and we leave it alone." My father died of a massive heart attack. We saw him on Sunday. On Monday, Sean and I were driving to the hospital he was taken to to sit with my mom and hear the most dreaded words you can ever imagine. I held his hand so tightly that I willed my pulse to reawaken his pulse. His gym shoes were on. That is where he was, at the gym. It wasn't right. And yet, I think he was prepared for it. His mother died of a heart attack when she was 42 years old. His father was 51 when he died. My Ruth side of the family has to take care of its health, there are no guarantees.
Something from that point on has burned inside of me. My journal writing described a fitness world that I imagined where a "community of like-minded people" could workout together without judgement. Programs I dreamed of to keep fitness fun and engage people in doing more than just "working out" but really understanding all the mind-body-spirit benefits could come to life. The creation of my dream, The Energy Lab, was like having another baby. Every day, I dedicate my work and my dream to my dad. It hurts me to know that people have these amazing bodies to live in and they don't take the time to take care of them. Our world is different. We have no choice but to take care of our bodies. The fire inside of me was lit that day when I held my dad's hand and looked down at his gym shoes and could not help him.
Looking back, I realize that I am neither a confident person nor someone lacking confidence. I just always did things. My dad was my champion and the one to point out and tell the world about the things I did. He was so proud of me. It took a friend to take on that role several years after he died and tell me it was time to open my own business, doing what I love to do. I never would have done that. I think he sent Denise as my angel.
Time stood still from 2006 until 2011. I must have been numb. Working out was my therapy. My fitness was great. I could run a marathon (Washington DC Marine Corps Marathon) and complete the MS150 (Multiple Sclerosis 150 mile bike ride) within a weekend of each other without training specifically for either event. I started to notice a cycle in my weight and no matter what I did, I weighed more in the spring and summer and always got to my leanest in the fall and winter. I stayed true to balance and making good choices without having to get concerned about my weight.
In 2011, a forever friend, Denise, rekindled my fire and reminded me I was put on this earth for a reason and I had better use the gifts I had been given. With a village, we created The Energy Lab. Teaching every class, opening and closing, moving all of the bikes around on my own, I didn't have much time to worry about my weight. Moving non-stop every day, exercising every day, and eating right, it takes care of itself. Now, 4 years later, I have a community I am accountable to. I have to take care of myself for more than just me. My immune system depends on my health, good decision making depends on my health, the energy I bring to my clients and classes every day depends on my health.
My workouts: yes, I do workout every day almost always.
What I love about my workouts is the variability I give to my body. I have my TRX workouts, my Pilates workouts, my Cycling and my Cycling Breakthrough workouts, along with my Jungshin and FitCore workouts. No two days are ever the same and no two workouts are ever the same. Most of my workouts are at the 5:30am hour, and at the 6 and 7pm hours, plus on each weekend day. When others say, it is easy for you to workout because you can any time you want to, they don't see that I work all day long too. I know that if I can do it and run a business and work substantial hours and have two teenagers, then anyone can do it. If they want to. Staying injury free is one of my primary concerns because it has to be. I feel when my body is overworking in certain areas or when imbalances are occurring and I correct immediately. I also practice as much preventative medicine as I can with massage, MELT Method, stretching, balancing my flexibility practice with my core and strength practice with my cardiovascular practice.
My nutrition: I don't believe in diets. I believe in balance and moderation.
However, I do personally know that if I stay away from something it is easier for me to not have it at all. If I have a little bit of something, I am more likely to want a little bit more. In my mind the sugar spiral definitely exists. As does the greens and good alkaline spiral. My Shakeology is my breakfast every morning. A day does not feel right if I miss it. I know with Shakeology, I get the dense nutrients my body needs so that it does not have to go looking for what it needs in empty calories. I fulfill it at the start of every day. I eat every few hours and include nuts and avocados and greens often. I stopped caffeine two years ago and have never gone back. I used to eat a lot of fruit, but after doing a program called The Ultimate Reset, I eat much less fruit and way more vegetables. I also choose my grains carefully and eat very limited amount of meat currently. I prefer to use almond milk over soy and I almost never have dairy. I don't find that I need or miss meat, dairy, caffeine and so I do not create a need for them. If I find my body missing something, I honor that feeling and am open to finding a good source of it. I try to keep it as simple and intuitive as possible.
Good energy is contagious and The Energy Lab runs on it and produces it.
I would like to say that I am not The Energy Lab and it is not me. But I don't know if that is possible. It is a part of my story as much as my mom and dad are. My sisters and my brother. My husband, my son, my daughter, my angel, and all the other angels that have come along to show me the way. It has grown with us and we have grown with it.
"Dear God, thank you." I whisper that to myself often. Thankful for the mornings, for Brendan and Natalie, for Sean, for the people in my life who have made me who I am. Thankful for the threads, "the coarse ones and the fine ones" that tie us together. Thankful for like-minded people and for our Energy Lab Family. Thankful for my Institute of Motion family, my Todd Durkin Mastermind family, and for my teachers.
