From time to time, we are obligated to remove fonts from Typekit; we refer to this as "retiring" the font. Font retirement may happen for a variety of reasons, but is typically at the request of the foundry, when a typeface is no longer available for licensing and distribution.
The majority of font retirements are because the font family has been updated with significant changes that necessitate replacing it with an entirely new family. For example, Alverata PE from TypeTogether was overhauled, retired, and replaced by the family Alverata.
Typekit continues to serve the fonts to any published kits, so existing websites will not be affected when fonts are retired. However, retired fonts are not available to use in new kits, and if you remove the font from an existing kit, you cannot add it again.
Thirty days before the font is retired, we'll put a notice on the font family page on typekit.com with the retirement date and any other details, such as the name of a replacement font family.
If you have a font synced that is scheduled to be retired, we'll also email you seven days prior to retirement to warn you of the upcoming change. After we retire the font, it will no longer appear in the Fonts tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application or in your desktop application font menus. It will also be automatically removed from the list of synced fonts in your Typekit account.
If there is no updated version of the font on Typekit that suits your needs and could be substituted, you would need to see if the foundry has the fonts available for purchase from their own website or through a reseller.
Any fonts you have purchased from the Typekit Marketplace will remain on your account for both web and sync use.

Skin Hygiene
Skin is one of the most important organs of a person, the health of our whole organism largely depends on its condition. In addition, a person with a healthy and well-groomed skin looks more attractive.
To keep your skin young and beautiful, you need to regularly and properly take care of it.
Cleansing is the first stage of skin care. It is necessary to clean the skin in the morning and especially in the evening. Piles accumulating in the pores, microbes and other contaminants interfere with the natural secretion of sebum, making it difficult for the skin to breathe and absorb vitamins and nutrients. Therefore, washing is one of the main elements of skin care.
To maintain the purity of the body should take a shower every day. If you have normal or oily skin, use usual toilet soap or shower gel. When dry skin is recommended to use a soft baby soap or do rubbing in the damp skin of special oils and creams.
If you are tired and want to cheer up, a contrast shower will help you. Begin with warm water, gradually increasing its temperature, and then quickly drip cold. Repeat the procedure 2-3 times, ending it with cool or cold water. In doing so, avoid hypothermia, the water should not be scalding ice. This contrast shower perfectly affects the skin, improving its blood supply by instantly narrowing and widening of blood vessels.
In order to cleanse the skin and make it soft and tender, regularly conduct peeling procedures. Today, the choice of means for skin cleansing is very wide, in addition, they can be prepared at home. For example, a beautiful cleansing mask will be obtained if you mix half a cup of cream (sour cream, ryazhenka) with 100 g of salt.
Regardless of what type of skin your skin is, it constantly needs moisturizing and nourishing. However, when choosing a variety of cosmetics, you need to know the composition and effect of each of them on your skin type, before using it is advisable to consult with a specialist.
In nutritious creams there are numerous additives necessary for the vital activity of cells. Such substances include vitamins, extracts and plant juices, lanolin, beeswax, stone oil.
Fats and oils, which are part of cosmetic preparations, are usually well absorbed, reduce the skin's recoil of water and thus protect it from drying, and also prevent the penetration of microbes and protect against other irritating factors of the environment.
In addition to nutrition, it is recommended to regularly apply moisturizing lotions and creams that maintain the water balance in the skin cells. Moisturizing cream is universal. It is needed both oily, and dry, and especially fading skin, as not only replenishes the loss of moisture, but also adds vitamins, fats, biologically active ingredients and other essential substances to the deeper layers of the skin.
Take care of your skin, remember that daily care is simply necessary for it to remain a gentle and smooth, glowing health.

Comic Book Movie reports new cardboard standees of the team have begun showing up in theaters.
While talking "Thor 2" with MTV News Jamie Alexander teased a possible "Avengers" appearance by Lady Sif.
"I can't tell you," she told MTV News. "Sometimes you never know. It'll be funny-they'll call you and they'll do a post-credits scene and you go, 'Oh, so everything I said in interviews is completely wrong.' So you never know!"
Directed by Joss Whedon and starring everybody. Opens May 4.
East Coast fans looking for midnight release IMAX tickets are in for a disappointment. According to EW.com, tickets for the IMAX New York midnight showing of "Dark Knight Rises" are already sold out. The trend is expected to continue in both Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Opens July 20
Channing Tatum spoke with Collider and teased a bit about the upcoming sequel.
"Joe 2 I think is going to be wildly different from the first Joe," the actor told Collider. "It's not going to go CGI sort of cartoonish route. I think they're going to try to get a little bit more based in reality. They really wanted to do a lot more 'boots on the ground.' Real guns, no lasers or stuff like that."
Meanwhile, Adrianne Palicki spoke with MTV News about Lady Jaye, who makes her first movie appearance in "Retaliation."
"Lady Jaye's a badass. I couldn't really be disappointed with Lady Jaye," Palicki told MTV. "She's the one chick in the boys club. She can hold her own. She doesn't get the staff, but she is a weapons specialist. She has that going for her."
Opens June 29
Sony, via its Face of the Fan on Facebook has revealed the winning poster design for its "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" poster contest. Check out the winning entry by Justin P. from Islip, NY below.
Opens February 17

Opens June 8
Bleeding Cool quotes John Landau saying the "Avatar" sequel is "four years away." Looks like fans will have to wait a little longer for a return to Na'vi.
Robert Downey, Jr. spoke to Spanish film site Omelete during the "Sherlock Holmes 2" premiere and made some predictions for "Iron Man 3."
"I think that we have an opportunity with the third Iron Man to make the best of the three, and maybe one of the better superhero movies that's ever been made," the actor told Omelete. "But I think we have to remember what made the first one good. It was very character-driven. It was very odd. It was kind of outrageous. And so I think we have to have the courage to trust that the audience is really kind of cool, and smart."
Deadline confirms "Saving Private Ryan" scribe Robert Rodat will rewrite Don Payne's script for "Thor 2." Production is expected to begin later this year with a target 2013 release date.
Opens 2013
Somebody had to make the joke. Lego released the first poster for its "Lord of the Rings" construction sets, featuring Aragorn in his classic "Return of the King" pose.

The National Assessment Governing Board is established under section 412 of the National Education Statistics Act of 1994 (Title IV of the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002) (Public Law 103-382).
The Board is established to formulate policy guidelines for the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP). The Board's responsibilities include selecting subject areas to be assessed, developing assessment objectives, developing appropriate student achievement levels for each grade and subject tested, developing guidelines for reporting and disseminating results, and developing standards and procedures for interstate and national comparisons.
On May 17, 2002 the full Board will convene in open session from 8:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. The Board will approve the agenda; receive the Executive Director's report and a NAEP Update from the Deputy Commissioner of NCES, Gary Phillips. The Board will then preview proposed policies on the NAEP program. From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Board's standing committees—the Assessment Development Committee, the Committee on Standards, Design, and Methodology, and the Reporting and Dissemination Committee will meet in open session.
The full Board will reconvene in closed session on May 17, 2002 from 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m. to receive results of the NAEP 2001 Geography Assessment. This meeting must be closed because the Commissioner of Education has not officially released results of the NAEP Geography Assessment to the public and premature disclosure of the information presented for review would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action if conducted in open session. Such matters are protected by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.
The full Board will reconvene in open session on May 17, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. to receive an update on the NAEP Economics Framework and to receive a report on NAEP/NAGB reauthorization. From 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. the full Board will meet in closed session from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. to review and discuss test items from the main NAEP Science Assessment. Disclosure of the specific test items for a test that has not yet been administered would significantly frustrate implementation of the NAEP program, and is therefore protected by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.
On May 18, 2002, the Nominations Committee will meet in closed session from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. to review nominations received for vacant positions on the Board. On May 18, 2002 the full Board will meet in open session from 9 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. to receive recommendations and take action on the NAEP Reading Framework Revisit. The Board will then hear and take action on Committee reports from 9:45 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. Subsequently, from 11:40 a.m. to 12 noon, the full Board will meet in closed session to review nominations for Board vacancies. This discussion pertains solely to internal personnel rules and practices of an agency and will disclose information of a personal nature where disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. As such, the discussions are protected by exemptions (2) and (6) of section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. The May 18, 2002 Board meeting will adjourn at 12 noon.
Summaries of the activities of the closed sessions and related matters, which are informative to the public and consistent with the policy of section 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), will be available to the public within 14 days of the meeting. Records are kept of all Board proceedings and are available for public inspection at the U.S. Department of Education, National Assessment Governing Board, Suite #825, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., Washington, DC, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.Start Signature
Dated: March 26, 2002.

*poke the bubble cheeks*
Then, I went to this Relay for Life event in Bkt Jalil's Majis Sukan Negara. This event was organised by National Cancer Society and I thought it should be fun... But... Things do not end up as what we expected. Me n Nora reached there at like 5 pm and no1 from PharmNotts was there and we cannot collect out shirts etc. Went to walk around and nothing is ready, except for some performances. I was being really unlucky 'cos I brought my camera, but WITHOUT MEMORY CARD, changed my N97 to a really old phone which can't take nice pics. Fine... Then, It started raining so me n nora was forced to wait under a big umbrella and we ended up in the middle of the field.
Lily they all finally reached and there was a super long queue in front of the washroom. Forced to walk all the way to a food court near Stadium Putra to change. Also realised nothing to eat, so called McD delivery. =P After that, walked on the muddy field, taking photos with LOCAL celebrities and played game to win a lip gloss. =P
Lily they all finally reached and there was a super long queue in front of the washroom. Forced to walk all the way to a food court near Stadium Putra to change. Also realised nothing to eat, so called McD delivery. =P After that, walked on the muddy field, taking photos with LOCAL celebrities and played game to win a lip gloss. =P
But, we ended up leaving the event at around 9.30 because we were all sitting in the training stadium, doing nothing except chatting n cam-whoring. We were supposed to go sing k and watch movie in Sunway Pyramid or MV. But, we do not have enough transport and singing k at that time is seriously expensive. Then Nora came up with this idea which is to stay over in her place~! So... There goes my 1st KTM experience. Haha. Seriously, 1st time using KTM and 1st time using LRT with friends. Luckily we managed to catch the last KTM at 11pm.
Then, we walked all the way to Empire Gallery to realise that Starbucks is closed, so took cab to AC. Missed Snowflakes, but had a great time chatting n eating there. ^^ Shower and watched movie in Nora's hse. Had a really great time throughout the night and also receiving some super cute and sweet calls from my precious bday boy. =P
Also, went out with Chee Yuen for Snowflakes! Missed twice and finally get to eat. Really not bad. =P Actually, Chee Yuen was committing a crime by bringing me there because he could have got me killed by giving a fever and flu patient a whole big bowl of ice. =P But still worth it~
And Mummy finally knows about me n baby. Was supposed to tell her ourselves, but she asked me in a really weird but cute n indirect way, so just admit it. Though got a lot of lectures, most importantly, I am not lying to her anymore. =P Daddy asked also, but I just told him not yet but soon... Luckily he did not really go against. ^^
Baby company me to watch 大日子 Woohoo!... Yes... I just watched it after like almost 4 months?
Went up to Genting and just reached home... Eat eat eat and shop shop shop. Brought back a lot of things. Esp FATS! ><
It was 11 pm when we got back to room and still... Non-stop cam-whoring while resting before going to Starbucks to on9~ Webcam with baby! Miss him...
There is 1 thing I seriously hate about 1st World Hotel. The workers of Ripley's Believe it or Not always try to scare people by dressing into ghost. This is still ok, the creepy part is they will start chasing you when you try to avoid them. This time, one of them chased us into Nike and still wait at the window, staring at us like a real ghost! Screw them!!!! Last time was carrying a bloody head into the lift and put it in front of my little cousin. So not ethical!
Anyway, I am currently watching a new HK drama 谈情说案, Mysteries of Love by Tavia Yeung, Raymond Lam and Kenneth Ma. Raymond Lam is so handsome ar!!! He looks super duper good in his formal attire, plus his genius physics brain and gentleman character! OMG! The drama is actually a HK version of Detective Galileo which is soooooo much nicer than this HK 1. The first few eps is kinda lame la, 'cos crimes are solved so easily and makes the police looks so stupid lo. Some really easy problems also can't solve...

The scourge of prescription drug abuse is hitting South Florida roads and highways.
Increasingly, drugs such as oxycodone and alprazolam, commonly known as Xanax, are playing larger roles in traffic crashes.
In Palm Beach County, drug-related crashes increased 18 percent last year. There were 64 such cases last year compared to 54 in 2005.
Statewide, drug-related crashes dropped 3 percent last year after climbing nearly 11 percent in 2009. In the last five years, drug-related crashes in Florida increased from 1,176 in 2005 to 1,236 in 2010.
Broward County is "seeing quite a few cases" of drug-impaired driving involving prescription drugs, said Dr. Harold Schueler, chief toxicologist for Broward County's Medical Examiner Office. But it's unclear if those numbers are increasing.
As all crashes have declined in recent years, so have DUI crashes.
"Prescription-drug abuse certainly makes South Florida's highways and side streets more dangerous any time of the day, not just after happy hour," said Jim Hall, director of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Substance Abuse at Nova Southeastern University.
Police officers, prosecutors and families of victims killed by drivers under the influence of drugs are seeing the results of easy access to prescription medications.
Palm Beach County Assistant State Attorney Ellen Roberts said she increasingly is prosecuting cases in which drug-impaired drivers played a role in deadly crashes.

Ultherapy for face nyc
Ultherapy Face Treatments / New York City
Ultherapy Non-surgical Facelift by Smooth Synergy NYC
Ultherapy is a revolutionary, non-surgical facelift alternative. Ultherapy is the first ever FDA approved, non-invasive skin lifting device for use on areas of the face such as brows, jowls, eyes as well as various areas of the body by stimulating neocollagenesis and elastin remodeling by heating of the dermis in targeted area. Ultherapy has NO DOWNTIME because it bypasses the epidermis while treating skin laxity of the face through subdermal tissue coagulation.
Ultherapy has been scientifically proven to significantly lift, tighten and smooth wrinkles on the face non-surgically in just a single, one-hour procedure, with no downtime. At the end of one study 82.1% of the subjects had qualitative, significant improvement, and 75.0% saw improvement in their face and/or neck as early as day 90. For the ideal candidates with mild to moderate skin laxity, the average amount of lift was exceptional, at 45.2 mm.
Unlike traditional surgical facelifts, Ultherapy lifts and tightens skin naturally, with no scarring and no recuperation time. Results look natural because Ultherapy works by targeting ultrasound waves into specific areas to trigger your body's ability to produce collagen naturally. You will see your facial skin look more lifted and rejuvenated gradually, most noticeably between 2-6 months after treatment , and continuously over the next year. Ultherapy facelift results can last up to 5 years.
At Smooth Synergy, we believe that patients can avoid cosmetic surgery on the face and body through medically proven next generation non-surgical skin treatments. At your consultation, your Smooth Synergy practitioner will evaluate your facial skin and may recommend other non-surgical options to be used alone or in synergy with Ultherapy for optimal facial rejuvenation results. The Vampire Facial®, The Vampire Facelift®, IPL Photofacials, Endermolift®, Squoom®, Microcurrent Facelift, Microneedling, Botox, Dysort, Xeomin, Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, or Kybella are effective alternatives unless you need skin lifting from deep within the SMAS musculature of the face. Ultherapy is distinctively different from other non invasive beauty treatments because it actually lifts the musculature from within the SMAS (subcutaneous musculoaponeurotic system) layer as it tones and tightens skin on the face. Only Ultherapy can lift and improve skin texture on the face by using patented DeepSee technology that allows the practitioner to visualize deep beneath the skin's surface during treatment. And use the feedback from the image on-screen to deliver precise amounts of energy that reach deep into the SMAS skin layers of the face at 3 different depths.
At Smooth Synergy we always meet with you before your Ultherapy treatment so that we can examine your facial skin and have a conversation with you about your concerns so that our expert practitioners can tell whether Ultherapy and/or other treatments will best achieve the results you are hoping for. Call us today to schedule your complimentary consultation at (212) 397-0111.
What to Know
- Ultherapy is a facelift without surgery.
- Ultherapy treatments take 30 and 90 minutes.
- Ultherapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment. Your skin may look flushed or swell, in rare cases.
- This will subside in a few days.
- Ultherapy results can be seen as soon as two weeks after the first treatment, reaching maximum results six months later.
- There is no post-treatment downtime.
What to Love
- Ultherapy treats deep layers of skin tissue, though doesn't affect the surface of the skin.
- Ultherapy is a the only non-invasive treatment that is FDA-cleared that actually lifts the skin.
- Repeated treatment is up to your discretion, when you feel the effects of aging and depleted collagen are pulling your skin down again. (Practitioners suggest every couple of years.)
- Ultherapy can help you achieve a more youthful look, from your brow to your chest, with marked results within weeks.

It seems as though the flu and colds have hit quite hard this year and I thought we'd cover a few tips on whether or not to exercise while sick and how to get back on track! First of all we always recommend that people seek a medical professional for any questions regarding illnesses and also take a few days off at the peak of the sickness for both your sake and that of others around you. You're generally most contagious during the first 48 hours of a cold so best to stay at home! If you're sick and choose to still exercise make sure you sanitize all of your equipment after you train to prevent others from getting sick.
So here's a way of determining whether to workout or not while sick, do the neck check:
1) If the symptoms are above the neck: like a runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, or congestion then keep going!
You may need to keep the workouts lighter but exercise can give you more energy when you're feeling sluggish and it also serves as a momentary decongestant. Think slower more gentle exercises like a brisk walk, biking, yoga, and strength training as alternatives to high intensity workouts when you are sick.
2) If the symptoms are below the neck: like body aches, chills, stomach pain or diarrhea, then it is best to stay away until you fully recover.
These are pretty tell tale signs that the illness is a little more serious than just a simple cold. It's best to drop by and visit a doctor during this time and really focus on getting well. If we push too hard when we are severely ill it might worsen the condition or increase the amount of time it takes to recover. Usually a 48 hour period is good enough to recover but listen to your body.
If you're looking at getting back into a routine after getting sick the best tip is to go back slowly. Progressively increase the intensity over a few weeks until you've fully recovered. Most people are concerned that they wil lose the progress that they've worked on if they take a break or come back too slowly but rest assured that progress doesn't just go flying out the window when you rest for a week. If anything you may find that you're stronger if you're exercise levels have been intense for the past few months. Hopefully you can stay healthy for the remainder of the winter but if not try these tips out. Remember, exercise has also been proven to increase your long term immunity so it's a great way to ensure that you have less of a chance of getting sick too.

We have been fortunate enough to have been able to strike two of our "dream holiday" destinations - New York and Tokyo - from our travel bucket list and since my word of the year is explore, we are eager to travel to different parts of the world.
We are curious travellers and like to head to destinations that offer something special. Although we have both wanted to visit Iceland and see the Northern Lights for the longest of times.. there are three other places offering something equally as entrancing - once-a-year events that would be incredible to experience.
Dia de los Muertos - Mexico
Dia de los Muertos is a traditional Mexican holiday for honoring the dead, celebrated throughout Mexico from October 31st to November 2nd. During the celebrations, ofrendas (private altars) are built, and sugar skulls, marigolds, favourite foods and beverages, are gifted to the deceased. "Day of the Dead occurs at the year's end, after the last harvests, when the barren earth is though to give passage to the souls lying beneath it." I have a huge interest in tradition and folklore, visiting Mexico during Dia de los Muertos would be phenomenal and it's one place I'm eager to strike off my bucket list.
Ice Festival - Harbin, China
The Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival is the largest ice and snow festival in the world. The festival begins on January 5 and lasts an entire month featuring the largest ice sculptures in the world, Yabuli alpine skiing, winter-swimming in the Songhua River, and ice-lantern exhibitions. Full size buildings made from blocks of thick ice are illuminated at night, and stand in stark contrast to the –16.8 °C winter weather.
Diwali - India
Diwali is an ancient Hindu "festival of lights" celebrated in autumn, spiritually signifying the victory of light over darkness. The celebrations continue over a five-day period with the main night of Diwali coinciding with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. Diwali is the biggest, brightest, prettiest festival in India and it simply looks stunning. I would feel so privileged to experience and be a part of such a significant celebration.

I would love to go to India ! It seems to be such a gorgeous and colorful countryReplyDelete
My mom had the opportunity to visit Mex City during the Dia de Muertos celebrations and she was so positively surprised! We are mexican but from the north and those festivities are so differently celebrated. My mom told me that you will never be really mexican if you have never experienced something like that, so you are hitting right on the spot with that trip!!ReplyDelete
Those destinations sound good! I've always wanted to visit Thailand :)ReplyDelete

What do you need to eat to lose the weight rapidly? From low-carb, to low-fat, to sugar-free, to high protein, and even the 'caveman' diet – there are so many options out there that it can be extremely confusing to the average person on which diet you should use to quickly lose weight. Some of these diets even provide conflicting information on what you should and shouldn't eat. Well, that's all about to change. Thanks to the report that helped me. May this FREE Report help you alsoReplyDelete
Yes Reykjavik is on my list too, I have nobody to go with though which makes me sad and I'm not quite brave enough to go solo. Tokyo is still on my list Sophie, your pictures about your visit have only confirmed to me just how much I want to go. The places I would like to visit consist of Cambodia, Paris, Rome, Switzerland and New Zealand.ReplyDelete
Iceland is amazing, although we went and didn't really see the lights! Trying Norway next year!!!ReplyDelete

'Zeta Hatchette, you look like a goldfish who's had their identity stolen.'
Zeta closed her mouth. Disaster strikes and who's in charge but Rowan Brisket. She forced a smile. 'Flabby! Long time, no see. You a copper now?'
Rowan glowered. 'No one calls me that these days. Not since year ten.'
'No, I suppose not. You look… sparse. Hope you're well?'
'I'm fine. Just fit. And it's Inspector.'
'Ooo. Soz. Look, are you in charge, because this is not good. Your people need reining in. They can't search every bag, surely?'
Inspector Brisket straightened her jacket. 'We have reasonable suspicion…'
'No, you don't.'
'I'm sorry?'
'This is an international symposium and the delegates come from all over. One minute your PC asks Harold Klunth – he's from Hamburg – if he…'
'That's a he?'
Zeta ground her teeth. 'This is an officially recognized LBGTQIA diversity extravaganza and Harold is, was, wants to be… look, can't you stop this? Can't you see everyone has a bag?'
Rowan waved her hand. 'They're all the same. And not just the bags. The hats, the uniforms, the brolleys.'
'Of course they are. They're all Mary Poppins. They all have carpet bags. They're lining up for the next experience.'
'Exactly! That's what that man, erm, that Mary – which is he? On your list?'
'He's a Q. Questioning. What did say?'
'He said everyone was looking forward to getting their spoonful of sugar. You can understand my team's worry. I mean, that's breaking all sorts of laws. We in the health Police have a duty to protect against wanton obesity and…' Rowan began to look doubtful. 'It is sugar, isn't it?'
Zeta looked horrified. 'God no. It's the latest amphetamine-ecstasy hybrid. Do you want to try? Light on the tongue and loud on the head.'
Rowan took the offered sachet. 'Don't mind if I do? And which are you? On the list?'

Marketing to the Younger Generation of Service Customers
According to several studies, age plays a big role in whether someone faithfully takes their car to a dealerships service department or an aftermarket chain for service.
Reports show that nearly half of dealership loyalists (46%) are 50 years of age or over while roughly half (47%) of aftermarket loyalist are under age 34. More than a third of those most likely to be disloyal to a dealership service department are ages 25-34. Demographically, the chain stores are winning and this is threatening the dealerships fixed operations.
Aftermarket chains are grabbing business from dealership service departments and are best at capturing the young wave of vehicle owners for work such as brake repairs, oil changes, new-battery installments as well as tire rotation, balance and alignments.
The automotive service business will fundamentally change if dealerships don't replace their aging loyalists and aftermarket stores retain their young loyalists as they enter their prime spending years.
To attract the new generation to service departments, dealerships must realize those young consumers are price-sensitive and speed-conscious.
Marketing strategies aimed at young spenders should take into account that they are digital-oriented and need to constantly experience the "Wow Factor". With ever improving advanced technology literally in the palm of our hands, customers are continually updated and wowed with the "best" and "evolutionary technology trends". An email reminder once in a while that their car needs servicing is not going to create a loyal customer from the younger generation.
In years passed, it was easier to market to everyone because it was usually done the traditional way, for example: magazines, TV commercials, newspapers and so on. Dealerships today have to be savvy with all forms of digital marketing resources, including Social Media, Email, Direct Mail, Texting, Telemarketing, Mass Media, Web-sites, micro-sites… Many dealerships are exploring this area in the Sales Department, but Service Departments are still struggling to jump on board with the marketing trend. There are a lot of different ways for a Service Department to communicate with customers. Below are just a few tips to help spark your thinking to develop a service department marketing strategy with the younger generation in mind.
Marketing Strategy
The most effective way to market a service department is to develop a well-planned and sustainable marketing strategy. Many dealerships will tell me that they already have a marketing strategy. Usually, there is no strategy – just a dealership running a promotion.
Dealerships need a marketing program that's strategic and data driven. Fortunately, service departments have an enormous amount of data about their customers' within their CRM program which means they can develop extremely competitive offers, communicate via multi-channel campaigns and target those customers who are most likely to respond. However, service departments fall back on the CRM tool too often, thinking that the tool is the marketing plan. Sure, a CRM Tool can identify customers with good equity. It can generate birthday reminders and supply email templates. It also provides resources and information, but it doesn't create a strategy. It can help dealers communicate with customers, but it doesn't help them motivate and sustain customers and that's a critical difference.
Online advertising
The younger generation today is more invested and more savvy with newer forms of technology and communication than any other generation. They spend more time with electronic devices, newer types of technology, and they spend much more time online than any other generation to this day. If dealerships want to be able to reach these potential consumers, then clearly they will have to use the internet customizing a design for a website. Using the internet to market to younger generations will only help your service department because it shows that your image is hip, cutting edge, and the very opposite of most other service departments today. This is the image that you want for your service department if you are going to capture this younger more savvy audience of today.
Interactive sites
Create something fun to encourage viewers to spend more time on your site. Make it fun and something that they can participate in. It could be a game or a funny photo that they will share with others. Be creative! The more creative and fun your site is the more people will want to spend time there. Also, when you design your site, give viewers free access to something they want in exchange for publicity of your advertisements. If you just have your advertisements pop up every time they get on a site, your promotions will become annoying, and simply have a negative effect, instead of being successful.
You Tube
You Tube has great ways to target audiences that you are looking for. It has a program that will identify what videos are most popular with the younger generations and then you can launch your advertising around those videos. This way you take advantage of the huge younger audience that views that particular content. This is a very easy way to market to the younger generation.
Viral design
Instead of using billboards as the only means to make impressions to your customers, another approach is a viral design. This is when a video is produced and then the market discovers it and gets excited about it all on its own. Viral design trends are different than the normal expectations in order to attract attention and become a talking point that people will want to forward on to everyone they know. Once something is out in the open, then it can continue to spread rapidly from user to user, with no potential end. This in turn reaches a large unexplainable amount of people. To help with your designing, you may want to work with a professional company that has multiple hours of experience creating.
So the real question becomes, what is the overall goal of a service department marketing strategy? That's simple, to increase the value of your customer, have customers visit your service department more often, and increase profitability per transaction.
Obviously this is just a start in developing ideas for an effective marketing strategy, but the best plan of action starts small with the big picture in mind.

Sleepless Film Festival Presents - Close Your Eyes: The William S. Burroughs Film Archive Part I
Hustlers of the world,
there is one Mark you cannot beat:
the Mark inside.
-William S. Burroughs
Hola Chicas y Muchachos,
I have always enjoyed being able to include photos and other images in this blog. Along with hyper-links, these features take this publication passed the limits of cyber-doc to multi-media sinsation (not misspelled >:) ).
In addition to other new features coming to this site - in celebration of the pending release of the new CD Blue Turns Black - I am happy to announce the first of several upcoming film festivals that will be taking place right here at Insomnia.
Sleepless Film Festival
Internet video hosting sites make it possible for the discerning cinephage (eater of images, see Godard)
to curate any number of interesting collections, creating unique viewing experiences for weary travelers, horny monks, spent lovers and snipers suffering through a bad season of pink-eye.
I have plans for many such moving explorations of moving images in the near future, and am happy to present Close Your Eyes: The William S. Burroughs Film Archive Part I.
These films and documentary programs have been scavenged at various online locations including YouTube, Google Video and Altertube among others. I thank the users on these sites for their good taste and generosity. Their efforts have made this presentation possible.
Due to the plethora of WSB material available online, I plan for L'Hombre Invisible to be making several appearances as we progress through these festivals, hence the titular numerical reference.

From Wikipedia:
William Seward Burroughs II (February 5, 1914(1914-02-05) — August 2, 1997; pronounced /ˈbʌroʊz/), more commonly known as William Burroughs or as William S. Burroughs from the late 1980s was an American novelist, philosopher, essayist, social critic, painter and spoken word performer. Much of Burroughs' work is semi-autobiographical, drawn from his experiences as an opiate addict, a condition that marked the last fifty years of his life. A primary member of the Beat Generation, he was an avant-garde author who affected popular culture as well as literature. In 1984, he was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
Burroughs is arguably the best satirical writer America has produced (his good pal Terry Southern not withstanding). He is also the most important post-Beat aesthetic philosopher, pioneering numerous explorations at the crossroads of occult ritual and artistic expression, arguing for magical utility at the bedrock of creative work.
Arena: William S.Burroughs
This BBC doc was produced for the Arena program in 1983. It features many of the usual Beat subjects. Although it is an earlier film, the Arena program is a very good one: funny and entertaining, erudite and engaging.
Highlights include WSB's appearance on SNL, a walking tour of the St. Louis of his childhood, and an awkward conversation between Burroughs and his brother, Mortimer, who bailed Burroughs out of a Mexican jail after William shot and killed his wife, playing a William Tell game at a cocktail party.
Naked Lunch
I gave up writing when I was ten,
too dangerous...
- Peter Weller as WSB in Naked Lunch
David Cronenberg's superb adaptation of the "unfilmable" novel triumphs not by preserving Lunch's content, but by honoring its structure: a tightrope walk between a personal diary and a heroin addict's hallucinatory netherworld.
Listen for Ornette Coleman's saxophone in Howard Shore's suberb score, and keep your eyes peeled for the late, great Roy Scheider as the infamous Dr. Benway!
Bill and Tony
Part of a collaboration that added filmmaker Anthony Balch to the dynamic duo of WSB and Brion Gysin, Bill and Tony was made in '72 after the trio had completed the other Cut Ups and Towers Open Fire.
These films will be included in future installments of Close Your Eyes.
A humorous collage of image and audio, listen for the reference to "the Pre-Clear." This seems to be a Scientology reference (WSB was exploring it at the time) that is followed by what may be detailed - if obtuse - instructions for traveling out-of -body, a la L. Ron Hubbard.
Be humble in your sleepy hands on this world.
Be a killer in Heaven.

RSP has some amazing clients. Debi (hi Debi!) is one of those. She fell in love with us and all the benefits RSP has provided for her clinic. So what did she do? She recommended us to two more clinics who are now part of the RSP family. We thought 'we could call Debi and thank her OR we could be awesome'. We went with awesome.
So we surprised Debi and her whole practice with a catered lunch. We appreciate our clients and we couldn't ask for a better compliment than your referral. So thank you Debi and all our other practices! You keep smiles on our faces.
"Dr Minhas was able to join us and was impressed with the way your company shows appreciation.
The caterer did a wonderful job and took special care of the dietery needs of one of our employees. There was not a crumb left by the end of the day despite there being more than enough food! " Debi – our awesome client

Asheville History: 1980 - Present
Until 1977, Asheville was devoid of the funds to invest in "urban renewal," but come the early 1980s there was a referendum to tear up downtown and put new convention centers and a mall from Biltmore to Lexington Avenue. This was a defining moment where the citizens of Asheville voted towards what would become a downtown preservation movement. A few years later, for approximately $14 million dollars, a project to renovate Wall Street, Downtown Patton, and Pritchard Park areas was instituted. Regardless, throughout the 80's, Downtown Asheville was largely vacant of businesses as suburban malls put the economic squeeze on the few shops that remained. Asheville's nightlife was pretty much non-existent, and the restaurants, bars, pubs, bistros, and shops that abound today were nowhere to be seen.
In the early 90's, downtown development began take form again, transforming metropolitan Asheville into the lively community that exists today. Where boarded up buildings stood devoid of life, fresh businesses began to take firm root and flourish.
By the millennium and especially today, downtown Asheville hosts an eclectic melting pot potpourri of artisans, merchants, restaurants, taverns, offices and some of the best people watching this side of the Mississippi. Today visitors from all over the world sojourn in Asheville to satiate their curiosity of what makes "The Land of the Sky" so extraordinary. Asheville is consistently ranked high among the best places to live, work, and retire in the US. Whether this stems from Asheville's unique natural and architectural beauty, moderate climate, outstanding educational and health care facilities, indigenous arts and crafts, or "awesometastic" festivals, only the curious explorer can make that distinction. The City's long-range planning is directed to maintain and improve the quality of life in the area, so that it shall remain one of the "best places" on this planet earth.

Head Coach Lovie Smith
Wide Receiver Mike Evans
(Opening statement)
"A good week of practice. Guys have done everything we've asked them to do. Once you get to Friday, you kind of go over your final game plan. Everything is pretty much done on what we want to get accomplished. We realize we have a good football team that we're playing and it's time to play. Preseason, really once you get to it, doesn't mean an awful lot. It's just kind of how you get ready for this first game. So that's where we are."
(On being in good spirits)
"My glass is always half full, but once you get to Friday of the start of your regular season, life's pretty good. The opportunity – seeing what our football team has gone through, you kind of see the look on their faces now where they want to hear less. 'Yeah, Coach,' – they kind of know their role and they're kind of ready to go. But this period of time between now and game time is critical. You can get an awful lot accomplished during that time. That's where we are. Injury-wise, I think we have one player out: T.J. Fatinikun will not play this week. Besides that, our players continue to get better. Mike Evans was able to do some things out there; George Johnson was sick yesterday but he should be OK. This time of year, to have your injury list look like that is pretty good.
(On the status of wide receiver Mike Evans)
"It's a Friday, keep in mind that. He was able to run around a little bit, didn't have any pain or anything like that, so we are on the road to recovery. How soon he gets back full speed and how soon he's ready to actually play, each day will tell us a little bit more."
(On his memories from September 11, 2001)
"You know, it's amazing on some things. Of course, Mary Ann would really be upset if I didn't remember the first time I met my wife, which [was September 12], on a blind date at Tulsa. I know that you didn't ask me that, but I'll keep going – give you a little bit more information that you asked for. But [on September 11, 2001] I was in [St. Louis] with the St. Louis Rams, getting ready to play the Atlanta Falcons that week. We, just like everybody else – I had someone, Bill Kollar, the [current] defensive line coach with the Denver Broncos, [his] son was a couple blocks from it. I remember him calling and talking to his dad and then going where we couldn't get a hold of him for a couple of hours. Just like everybody else, it's a part of our lives from now on. A tragic thing that happened, but something that you need to acknowledge every year, really."
(On the news that tickets are close to selling out for Sunday's game)
"A smile has to come to your face when you hear that. Last year we didn't do our job. The fans did. And it's good they've come back out giving us another chance to get it right. One of our goals we have is to win all of our home games. You have to get that started with the first one. So, yes, in an ideal world, you want to start off at home and use that home crowd. In order to use the home crowd – of course, it doesn't matter, you're going to cheer when points are scored and big things happen, but the home crowd can really help the defense out an awful lot to make it hard for the communication and things like that. We're counting on the crowd to come there, get there early, and we want to hear that cannon go off quite a bit."
(On how he is recovering)
"I feel great."
(On if feels good about playing in Sunday's game against Tennessee)
"Yes. There is no official ruling yet. I hope I'm playing. I'll leave it up to Coach [Lovie Smith], though."
(On if the plan was to rest the hamstring as much as possible)
"Yeah, I think it has been working. I feel really, really good."
(On if today is the first time he participated at practice this week)
"At practice, yeah. I've been running, but this is the first time I ran some routes full speed. I feel pretty good."
(On how hard it's been for him to sit out)
"It's extremely tough. I want to be out there practicing, getting better, getting ready for Tennessee, but I have to do things elsewhere – getting rehab on my hamstring and strengthening it back up. I feel good though so far."
(On if conditioning or timing with his quarterback will be an issue if he plays on Sunday)
"I think I should be good. I have been doing a lot of extra work, so I should be good as far as conditioning."

In English it translates to "corporation", but in local cycling lingo it means more than that. Used in mostly in races, the term loosely means already having a result even before it starts. In a korporasyon, scheming cyclists determine who wins the race before or during the race itself and all agree to split the pot when it's over.
Now I don't know if this year's EBD Barangay Tour is a korporasyon but it does have that same fishy smell. Unlike last year's event which drew roughly around a hundred mountain bikers, this year's race now only has one category for non-Batangas residents. In a way it seems like the organizers have literally organized themselves and decided that they want to make it a homegrown-talents-only affair. Indirectly they're shooing away their competition with the intent of keeping the city's funds to themselves.
I got a private email from one of their members, who wishes to remain anonymous. According to him, they really wanted to make this an all-Batangueno affair. They only offered the National Open category for those who'd still like to join. As a glimmer of hope, he added that they'll be bringing last year's format next year.
Being the race director last year, I find this news quite disappointing. I was hoping to expose them more to the level of competition from other parts of the country, but it was them who chose to go back to their shell.
I was planning on going there and riding the course today, but I didn't feel like it anymore. There's no reason to map out the route and find out the distances if they want to keep it to themselves.
I guess I'll wait for next year's announcement.

You know what's sad?ReplyDelete
I think these races should somehow help tourism within the country. Imagine, you can showcase Batangas to non-Batanguenos. But I guess they don't care about that.
I also think that there should be brotherhood of some sort for the sport. There aren't a lot of cyclists in the Philippines, compared to other sports, so it should be encouraged by opening all races to as many cyclists as possible. I guess they don't care about that either.
Sad. Sad for the sport.

4) The Undertaker vs. Mankind – King Of The Ring 1998
This classic between The Mankind and The Undertaker will be remembered for ever. This is the match where Mick Foley (Mankind) fell from the roof of the cell twice.
3) Triple H vs. The Undertaker – WrestleMania XXVIII
This WrestleMania 28 match lived up to the hype. The match was incredible. Both the wrestlers fought with passion as the fans saw two icons of the game involved in a legendary match. Shawn Michaels was the special guest referee.
2) Mick Foley vs. Triple H – No Way Out 2000
This was the championship vs. career match. Foley again found himself on the top of the ring and came crashing through the roof. This was one of the scariest Hell in a Cell matches of all time.
1) Six-Man Hell in a Cell Match for the WWE Championship
This match tops the list simply because no one thought this was physically possible. The huge bodied Rikishi was chokeslammed from the roof of the cell. This will surely remain as one of the iconic moments in WWE Hell in a Cell history.

Spring Cleaning
Just look at how elated this woman is to get cracking on her spring cleaning! You can see her beaming from behind her mop a mile away. Well, I decided to indulge in a little spring cleaning of my own this year. And I'm not talking streak-free windows. I wouldn't even know how to begin doing that, and no, I don't want to know.
My body, however, is something I spend a lot of time thinking about…particularly how it is working and how I might encourage it to function even more efficiently. Any time I get an unknown pain or ache in my middle back I immediately finger my liver or kidneys as the culprit for the trouble. Well, ultimately I suppose my habits would be to blame and my poor organs only the unfortunate victims of abuse. Sorry organs, my bad. That said, I figured that perhaps it may be time to give the 'ol processing plant a holiday; thus I began a cleanse.
When I hear people talk about cleansing I immediately get nervous and start cataloging all of the delicious food that they're not eating that I still have the privilege of gorging on day in and day out. My reaction is not uncommon. Every time I told someone that I was on a cleanse the reaction varied from curiosity to shock and horror to exuberant rounds of congratulatory words. Cleanses are bad ass, and not to be messed with. AND YOU KNOW THIS, MAAAAN (50 points to whoever catches the reference)
Well, I knew that, man…and I decided that if I wanted to do some sort of fasting cleanse (juice in my case, but you may be familiar with a water cleanse like the "master cleanse") then I had better come up with a plan. The last time I attempted a juice fast I failed in under 24 hours. After 2 meals of juice or coconut water, somewhere around 3pm, I got a massive headache and started to get the shakes like a smack addict that lost their dealer. Needless to say, I figured I was dying from my 18 hours of deprivation and resumed eating. With this past experience in mind I decided to alter my strategy. (Although, in retrospect I think that since my last attempt my eating habits have changed significantly and leveled out…I was probably pretty toxic at that point and assume myself much less so now) I figured if I wanted to succeed at the juice fast level that I'd better build preparatory levels in to arrive at juice fasting and git 'er done.
My plan:
Day 1-10 — Remove all caffeine, refined sugars and dairy
Day 10-17 — The above plus no gluten products
Day 17-22 — RAW
Day 22-25 — Juice
That's really a 25 day cleanse there, people, and I have to say that it worked quite well for me. So well, in fact, that I was able to extend my juice fast to 5 days. Comfortably. Since I've been cleansing for nearly a month, I've had many opportunities to discuss this with tons of interested parties and I've come to realize that cleansing is HIGHLY individual. A training buddy, Nargus (word.) who eats almost raw out of habit and doesn't do dairy or refined sugar anyway could not do this cleanse. My friend from work, Vinny, who subsists on a steady diet of burgers, subway and ham and gov'ment cheese sandwiches would probably need to cleanse, gradually, for a year before he'd be able to do a juice fast (if ever). I'm pretty sure that he completely avoids all food that grows from the earth…so, well, maybe juice is an unlikely scenario altogether. Really, you just have to know your body and gradually take all of your nasty little habits out one by one…starting with the dirtiest crap (in my case, refined sugars) first and then eventually ridding yourself of the lesser offenders.
It's all over for me now. Today I introduced solid foods back into my life. I was pretty excited about that because I love food, but I have to say, I sort of miss being "on a cleanse" already. I had a sense of purpose and achievement for a full month because I was so disciplined in working towards a goal. I also realized that what the body needs pretty much has zero to do with what you want. When I was juicing three fresh juices were really enough for me to feel good all day. It put some things into perspective for me. Just because I am eating healthy does not mean I need to over eat to compensate. Seriously, I do this all the time. I figure that because I'm having a salad, I should eat like I'm never going to see food again. Wrong. Not feeling "full" actually feels really good to me, and now that I'm eating solid food again, I am missing the feeling of a non-hungry, yet empty, belly. Don't get your panties in a twist, I'm not going rexy on you or anything. I do think that I will try to not eat refined sugars ever, and also eliminate a lot of gluten based foods. That shit is just plain 'ol bad. But, remember kiddies, everything is probably ok in moderation…I'll probably have something with gluten in it occasionally or something with sugar. Who cares.
Tomorrow is day 2 of breaking the fast. Some other blog told me I should eat dried fruits that are soaked and lick a grapefruit or something like that. I think I'll probably make something up like I made up all this crap you just read…cause, well, I'm creative like that. And, I'm clean. Ohhh yeah.

The music of nineteenth century Austria comes to life with the Salon Orchestra of Washington. From an intimate five-piece ensemble to a 20-piece chamber orchestra, the salon players recreate the elegance of Vienna of the 1890's, the international musical capital of its day.
Stroll through Vienna's Imperial Gardens or pause for a sip of coffee in the refined atmosphere of a Viennese Coffeehouse while you listen to Waltzes, Landlers, and Polkas by Johann Strauss, Franz Lehar, and other musical masters.
Since its founding in 1986, The Salon Orchestra of Washington has performed at such prestigious functions as: the Opening Gala for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Bicentennial of Georgetown University, the Centennial Celebration of the National Geographic, Martin Marietta Honors Night, and The Kennedy Center's New Years Eve Holiday Celebration every year since 1990!

The world's first thought-controlled computer game could be launched by the end of the year.
A company in Australia is apparently developing a new headset that contains 16 sensors which measure electrical activity in the brain.
This would allow players to push and pull objects on a screen by just thinking about it.
No doubt a concept that will draw cynicism from the more hardened gamer, the company - Emotiv - claims the new headset will soon "replace joysticks and Wii handles".
Apparently pre-release tests show that the (get ready for it) electroencephalography process works.
Emotiv co-founders Allan Snyder, a neuroscientist and former Cambridge University research fellow, and Tan Le reckon the technology will take Wii gaming to the next level.
Tan Le said: "This is the tip of the iceberg. There will be a convergence of gesture-based technology and the brain as a new interface - the Holy Grail is the mind."

I'M ALIVE! Long story short, my parental unit cut off my phone and I did not have the time or money to go get a new plan for awhile, so I decided that I would use the opportunity to write an entertaining blog post about what life was like for three weeks without a phone plan in a technological world.
I felt extremely lost…no seriously I got lost all the time.
For those of you who don't know me…I'm driving 90% of the time. I have so many commitments all over the place and it just feels like I live in my car. With the long distances, comes the need to gps my way from one place to another often. However, without any data…I had no way of using my gps on the go.
This is where I had to get creative. I would screenshot maps when I was on wifi and hope that I would pay close enough attention to everywhere I needed to turn or get off. When this method failed, I would park in the parking lot of a Tim Horton's or Starbuck's to connect to their wifi and figure out where the hell I was. Needless to say, I was late to things a few times this month. 🙊
My friends were getting very annoyed.
I received many Facebook messages saying: "DO YOU HAVE A PHONE YET?!". It was getting a little bit difficult to tell me the newest gossip that I just HAD to hear in that very moment. I also had to make sure that the plan for the day was completely outlined before I left the house. This lead to confusion when something came up or someone needed something from me. If I wasn't made aware of it in the morning, I was incapable of helping or being flexible around the plans. I'm sorry besties. We're all good now though.💁
I learned just how discriminatory the world is towards those without a phone…specifically banks!
So during these weeks of phone-less wondering, I lost my debit card TWICE. After getting my more-recent debit card, I needed to set it up with my online banking. This required a verification code. You can only receive this verification code VIA CALL OR TEXT MESSAGE. This was clearly an issue for me.
I called my bank on someone else's phone and let them know that I was unable to set up my online banking due to the fact that I did not currently have a phone plan. I spoke to about three people who said "yes, this has been an issue before but there is nothing we can do". So here I was thinking that people without phones are excluded from online banking, until I finally spoke to some manager. She expressed that there was one other way. I had to download a swiss email account…? It finally worked which was great, but now I have firstname.lastname@example.com and I'm just like why?😑
I was a much safer driver.
Okay…I'll admit it. I have had the tendency to text and drive in the past. I KNOW IT'S BAD OKAY. However, being without a phone really helped me to see that no text is important enough for me to risk my life for. If I was able to go hours on end without having the ability to reply to a text, then I can definitely wait the half an hour to an hour long drive to do so.
I felt healthier.
I have said this multiple times and now I truly feel that my theory is right. The more I look at my phone in a day, the more sick to my stomach I feel. Before my phone was cut off, I was checking my social media quite heavily and constantly replying to messages, as this is a very busy time of the year for me. With that said, I kept expressing to friends and family that I thought my phone was starting to make me feel sick; and I think I was right.
After not looking at my phone anywhere near as much for a few days, that sick stomach feeling went away! You may think it is in my head but I swear that the more I look at my phone screen, the more I want to puke.
I felt more love all at once.
I really enjoyed that when I did get to a place of wifi after a few hours of being "disconnected", I had a plethora of messages and notifications to check. This could get a little bit annoying, as it would mean I was taking a half an hour to cover all my bases; but I really enjoy the feeling of getting a message on my phone (it's scientifically proven that it raises happiness levels) and this was like a wave of love at once! Checking your phone and seeing nothing can be sad, but when you don't have the ability to receive messages, it doesn't really phase you. Then you get to a place of wifi and they just start rolling in! The love was felt. Thanks friends 🙂
I didn't have to deal with anything I didn't want to.
This was probably the best part. You know all those messages you just don't want to bring yourself to answer or those people you've been forgetting to reply to but you know you have to? They were non-existent for me!…or at least I had a good enough excuse that they were not constantly bothering me.
Anytime I did not want to reply right away or at all to someone, I just didn't! There is no better excuse than simply stating the fact that you don't have a phone and therefore, can not respond.
Applying to jobs was tough.
Since I recently moved out, I have been looking for a place to work in my new town. This posed as quite the difficult task as there was no phone number for employers to call me back on. For the most part, managers were quite obvious in using their facial expressions to display how strange they thought it was that I didn't currently have a phone number.
I guess they didn't remember what it was like to be that broke student that has to choose between gas money or having the ability to make a phone call. However, I do think that one of the managers I spoke to thought it was cool that I was "free" of technology. Still waiting on that call back though…
Most importantly, I practiced for the low data plan I have now.
Yes… I do have a phone now. However, I got the most affordable plan I could find which only gives me 1G of data. I use to have 5 😱. The past few weeks definitely trained me to wait until I am at a place of wifi to check my social media notifications. I think that my time without a phone plan really showed me how attached I once was to it. I have now adjusted my habits and will hopefully save money monthly because of it!

Affairs can be wonderfully exciting but when they are discovered they can bring misery and heartache to all those involved. They can make us feel incredibly happy and at the same time riddled with guilt. When someone feels that something is missing in their relationship, either emotionally or sexually, they will often embark on an affair. But affairs are almost always high risk. Whether lover, betrayer or betrayed, life becomes an emotional roller coaster and the future is unknown.
Relationship counsellor, writer and agony aunt for over twenty years for YOU magazine in the Mail on Sunday, Zelda West-Meads brings new insight from all three sides of the triangle. Describing, with many case histories, the excitement of an affair, the pain that they can cause and the devastation when an affair is discovered, she also shows:
- Why infidelity is on the increase – research shows that 60 per cent of men and over 40 per cent and rising of women cheat.
- Why marriages are vulnerable.
- The reasons why men and women are unfaithful.
- Whether creative adultery can ever hold a marriage together.
- How the internet has made it easier for people to cheat – whether it's with someone new or an old flame, a first love or your childhood sweetheart.
- How some marriages survive and why others end in divorce.
With empathy and without judgement, here is the best advice there is on love and betrayal.
Zelda has been a counsellor and psycho-sexual therapist for over thirty years and as Relate's former spokeswoman made counselling acceptable and accessible. Her books include To Love, Honour & Betray, How to Make Your Man Commit (And What To Do If He Won't). And The Trouble With you.
