Today is the first day of the 12 days of Blogmas. What is Blogmas, you ask? BOY OH BOY. Let. Me. Tell. You.
12 days of blogmas is 12 Days, 12 Bloggers, 12 Giveaways. It is 12 days of Merry Christmas fun and holiday cheer. 12 days of new ladies to follow, new prizes to win, new posts to read. It is going to be the best December YET!
So let's get down to it. Today is DAY 1 and the topic is GIFT GUIDES! I'm going to be sharing with you my fool-proof gift guide for the classiest girl in your life.
This company is so so so fun. I am a sucker for a pretty mug (who isn't??) so when I found these adorable copper mugs, I had to have them. They are PERFECT for the holidays. Classy, chic and make the best gift for the classiest girl in your life. The cups pictured here are the The Roly, The Jigger (Hammered), and The Barrel (Hammered).
Daniel Wellington Watches
Ohhhh boy. I had my eye on this pretty black watch for the longest time. This is a GREAT gift for that classy lady. They are sleek, with minimalist lines and a clean finish. They make beautiful additions to any outfit. I love pairing it with my holiday dresses, and I also love pairing it with my casual flannels. It is the most versatile watch I own. Give the gift of simplicity and class with a variety of styles this season.
Marley Lilly
This brand. If you know me AT ALL, you will be well aware of the fact that I love monograms. As Reese Witherspoon so perfectly put it: "I'll monogram anything that sits still long enough", or something along those lines. 😉 But FOR REAL. I love love love monograms. They add a touch of class and prep to anything. ESPECIALLY clutches and bracelets. This tan clutch is the perfect size for carrying your phone, wallet and lipstick. What else do you need, anyways? The bracelet speaks for itself in regards to class. Dainty and elegant, it adds just the right touch. Snag these items for your classy bestie.
Glitter Heels
I'm fairly certain these speak entirely for themselves. You need a pair, your sister needs a pair, your mom needs a pair, your best friend needs a pair…literally every one you know needs a pair of these heels or at least something similar. They are GORGEOUS when paired with a holiday dress, but they're super fun when pair with jeans. Life's too short not to buy the shoes. Buy them, ok? PROMISE?
This little jewelry company is so sweet. She has personalized jewelry and accessories that are going to be perfect for every classy girl in your life. I love this half-moon necklace. Classy girls love dainty jewelry — at least I know I do! This one is a lovely mix of gold and silver, so you can accessorize any way you want to. That's the best part. Snag this gift for your favorite girl this Christmas!
Kate Spade Wallet
I'm a fan of EVERYTHING glitter, and I know every classic girl is too. This wallet is my absolute favorite. I use it every day. I get compliments on it everywhere I go. It is simple, yet sparkly. It adds to every outfit. It will make the most spectacular gift this year.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by Tempbot, Jul 25, 2008.
^^ndsrelease-3467^^Contributed by B-Blue
might be worth a try..
Wa its already released, in english. Now Japan version, has corny name.
I liek dis boxart more than the US/EU one
these sort of games get boring after a while so not so worth getting em
Whats the EU/US release called?
New International Track and Field (2350 and 2504)
Japan always gets the cool boxart.
is this the "new internacional track and field" ?
well ive been playing the us version and i must say that the online system is very good, clans leaderboards,well its true that it could be boring after a time
but with some friends to compete you almost can burn the touchscreen with all that scratching
Doesn't really matter because you never bought the game in the first place
Odd how this is named after Hypersports rather than Track & Field; was the sequel more popular in Japan or something?
Is this like Hypersports on C64?
that's scary
Most likely it's to avoid paying the Olympic Organization the licensing fees.
Not to mention there are many events in the game not considered 'Track' or 'Field', like swimming and rowing.
who is english or eur don't download it
just download the eur or the eng(usa)

Open the door to an endless stream of ennui. Let Vomitface clumsily chisel abortive idioms of your virtual coma. Let them pinch your nerves, hold your consciousness in a Vulcan death grip for the next forty minutes. Let their angular dissonance serve as the spiritual buffer to your self-loathing.
"I like the way you comb your hair/ I like the subtle way you roll your eyes" insists lead-off track "Senior Pictures." Histrionics turned up high, here's a thrilling, applause-for-your-vitriol narrative. Jared Micah brings his dramatis personae to life, presenting the mundane with poignant narcissism.
The brittle, smoldering "Dramamine" rigorously unfurls a co-morbid vertigo: "Let me touch your hand; let me feel the palm/ And finger-fuck the wound/ Then ease it with some balm." Quite provocatively, the Toronto trio unpack a scathing grunge sensibility.
Snappy and tragically funny, "If/ Then" rides the waves of entertainingly pathological narratives–with tidbits of dialogue seemingly borrowed from, if not inspired by, Brooklyn personalities. Their intelligent nonsense-poetry, almost an accidentally hilarious send-up of so much of our culture. Thankfully, much like their name, they don't seem to take themselves too seriously ("'Cause Jesus paid it all/ and that loan is gaining interest/ Everything I love/ Everything I hate/ Everything/ Hanky panky please and thanky/ Eat it up amen").
"Et Cetera" is an ode to the quotidian. It sighs and retches feverishly with disconnected observances. The sharp, lurid "Fat Witch" teams with voyeuristic malice while "Chew Toy" scoops up industrial servings of irony ("I'm dusting off the shelf/ I've learned to love myself"). I hear applause; it's all for me! Hooray indeed.
Hooray For Me is, in itself, a relentless morality play. With its heightened sense of apartness, its self-aware inability to join in, Hooray has the the turpitude of a badly-reputed Anais Nin character, a horror reportage not dissimilar to Big Black's journalistic stride. And with jarring dynamic shifts that call upon Slint, leaden riffs that draw from Shellac, Preetma Singh and Jared Micah tear a page from the ol' 80s indie rock playbook. However, unlike most contemporary art-damaged post-grunge bands, they do so without obscuring or alienating the listener.
So, if you find yourself asking the age old question, What do you get if you put the son of a Tennessee preacher and a law school graduate in a room together with Steve Albini? Wonder no more, Vomitface's debut full length has the answer for you: Black surf. Avant-grunge. Sludge-pop.
The question is, Can you stomach the gore?
Hooray For Me is out today via Help Yourself Records. You can stream the full-length here.

Whether you want a Testosterone Cycle, Cutting, Bulking up or a Weight Loss Cycle , you should make the right choice before you start. Make sure that you decide if you want to cut, lose weight, or gain muscle. Maybe even lose weight and gain muscle all at the same time.
A healthy diet along with a good protein supplement will greatly improve performance in any good Cycle. Remember that by losing fat around the body you will increase your strength to mass ratio and improve lean muscle tissue, giving you that lean physique appearance.
Bulking and Cutting Cycles - Those individuals who already have a lean physique wont achieve fat loss gains as quickly as those with more weight and therefore would more than likely opt to go for a combined all in one Bulking and Cutting Cycle to start with.
Day 1 – Clomixyl 150mg – in three divided doses.
Day 2 – Clomixyl 100mg – in two divided doses
Following 10 days – Clomixyl 50mg – before bed
Following 10 days – Clomixyl 50mg – before bed
It is very common for bodybuilders to use veterinary steroids for a precontest cycle. Since they are typically assimilated quickly, they do the best work in the shortest amount of time, and are generally out of the system relatively fast in comparison to other 'roids. And, believe it or not, usually people see fewer side effects when using vet products than when using human ones. Why take anything else? Maybe not 'why take anything else', but why not include veterinary steroids, in one form or another, in every cycle? In my mind, veterinary drugs should really be everyone's choice for extreme condition and definition. They combine well with androgens and other anabolics as well as any drug in the human realm of anabolic steroids. The only problem, these days anyway, is availability. You can find them in Mexico, but you risk fakes, counterfeits, lower quality, or lower dose per ml. You also, of course, face the possibility that you'll be stopped.

Unfortunately the movie wasn't as good as it could've been. Lots of pacing issues, mostly in the first hour where Liam is slowly investigating things at Woody's cultish community. There's a silly pointless subplot with the mexican wife that kind of bogs things down as well, but after that hour mark it starts getting pretty interesting, just a little too late. 6/10

#1-Signs-They are my favorite. There are so many signs out there that the words just melt my heart. Theres really nice home decor signs you can bring, or very simple hand made ones. Theres some really cool ideas on Etsy you can buy there or make your own.
#2-Think Beachy-Anything cute and beach related items such as a large starfish or shells are really cute in your portraits.
#3-Antique Furniture-We can bring it on the beach with us and it really makes your images stunning!
#4-Picture Frames-We can get creative in all kinds of ways-if your engaged we can put your wedding date inside,
#5-Chalkboards-I love all the cute sayings you can write on them. Great for engagements, weddings, honeymooners, and maternity.
#6-Bubbles & Balloons-They are great for any session.
#7-Flowers-It doesn't just have to be for a wedding, embrace the hawaiian flowers. Bring a bouquet or put them in your hair, either way it will dress up your pictures.
#8- Make it personal-Whats your favorite hobby? Is it sports, music, or dancing? Do you love vintage? Heres an idea: bring an item that describes who you are, what you love, or how you met the one you love.
#9-Cars-Many rent classic cars to drive to their Wedding Reception, why not get some great shots? Or if you have rented a convertible we can get some cool shots.
#10-Sand-We can write all kinds of things in the sand to really personalize your session. Your wedding date, how many years you've been together, your names, etc. Other popular ideas are "Maui", "Love", & "Family".
Once you have booked Jen as your Maui Photographer, get the juices of creativity flowing. Start looking online for ideas, buy or make your props and don't forget to bring them. Tell me your ideas, contact me here. :)

Dear Baby, 07-21-2015
Boy, how things change from baby 1 to baby 2! We found out about you almost a week and a half ago, and I am just sitting down to write my first letter! Your big sister keeps us on our toes, but you can't imagine the excitement you've brought to our lives in such a short time :). You know my favorite thing about you? NO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS TO GET YOU! Actually, I had one set up for August 3rd and it seems, like last time when I got a positive right before surgery to further explore my infertility, that my body likes a deadline. Getting to this point has been so much different than last time.... barely any stress, so much more carefree, experiencing it the way you always imagine you will! I am not taking it for granted for even one second. I kept taking tests and kept getting negatives, and just told myself that's ok; that's what I expected based on my charts. Then I skipped Friday, and took another test Saturday... and Sunday, and Monday :). The doctor got me in on Tuesday for my much needed progesterone shot (though my chart looks way better, my levels are just as bad as they were with your sister!). Daddy and I have already had fun telling family about you, and it was quite a surprise to everyone. In 2 weeks, we have an ultrasound to check on you. I'm always so nervous about that one... will there be a heartbeat? But I do feel much more at peace this time than last. I am much more easily trusting in God's plan for us, and that we will be taken care of no matter what. Of course, we want you more than anything! But I know that we will be ok. But hey, I'm your mother and my first request is that you grow a nice strong heart so we can see it beating in 2 weeks, ok? We love you so much already, even if we can't come up with a nickname for you ;).

OnePageCRM converts the complexity of CRM into a simple to-do list. Built using GTD (Getting Things Done) productivity principles, its streamlined approach to sales helps you convert leads to customers, reach targets and grow your business fast. By focusing on that one Next Action, your sales team are organized and empowered to move a deal forward. OnePageCRM strives to offer a product that is as easy to use as email and helps your company achieve zero admin.
$11/month per user with annual plan; free for up to 5 users for non-profits
Last updated June 7, 2016. Please visit the official site for the most up-to-date information.
The most important thing about your contacts may well not be their name, email address, or even the company they're affiliated with. Instead, when you open your CRM, you need to know what you need to do next with that contact. Do you need to send them more info, get on the phone to close a deal, or follow through to see how they liked their last purchase from your company?
In many ways, your CRM really needs to be a project management tool—something that tells you want you need to do with your contacts. And that's what OnePageCRM does.
Designed with the GTD productivity system in mind, OnePageCRM opens with an Action Stream of the next things you need to do with contacts. Each time you add a contact, there's a Next Action box where you can type a Tweet-length update along with a due date for the next thing you need to do with this deal. Those show up on your Action Stream page, for a quick to-do list of everything you need to do with your contacts. Once you've made that call or sent that email, just select the contacts, and tap the Actions button to set their next action or mark the current next action as complete.
Each contact page includes the info you'd expect from a CRM: contact and company info, along with notes, call logs, and deals that you're working on with the contact. There's a timeline at the bottom, where you can drill down into every interaction this contact has had with your team. OnePageCRM can also sync emails from Gmail—or let you forward in emails from any other service—to track conversations with clients right alongside the notes you manually add. You can also add contacts in a click from LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and more with the OnePageCRM Lead Clipper extension.
If you need to get back to checking off next actions, there's a filter bar on the left where you can jump straight back to your or your team's Action Streams. Or, if you need to quickly get in touch with someone, just click the Contacts tab at the top to see a full alphabetical list of your contacts with their phone numbers and emails ready for you to call (via Skype) or message with a tap.
There's still those sales goals to hit, what the next actions are driving you towards. For the big picture, open the Pipeline view where you'll see monthly, quarterly, and yearly deals pipelines that show how much each potential deal is worth, and how likely you are to land it. Tap a deal stage funnel to see all deals in that stage or quickly update them with their new stage.
There's also ways to customize OnePage CRM to fit the way you work. If you're more focused on individuals in sales than companies, you can set OnePageCRM to reflect that in its interface. You can add your own sales actions to automatically add next actions as deals progress through stages, or use custom fields to track extra data about contacts. And, you can have OnePageCRM email you each day with the next actions you need to take, just like a project management app—only this time, focused on getting your deals closed.
CRMs can be much more than just an address book. OnePageCRM helps you keep track of what needs done next to close deals—while still making it simple to get in touch with contacts and take notes about your meetings. It's a tool that can keep your sales process on track.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul which is why people need to make sure that they take care of their eyes. People should also make sure that the areas around their eyes would be wrinkle free and eye bags free so as to help people look young and not stressed or tired.
To make sure that people would keep their eye area well taken care of, here are some of the firming eye cream options to choose from.
- Get an eye cream that works just like botox. Not all people can afford to try out botox which is said to be one of the best anti-aging treatments. This process is done by professionals and is a bit expensive which is why only the rich and famous can afford it. Ordinary people can also take advantage of this procedure if they save a lot of money. To those who cannot afford it for now, it is best to look for eye cream ingredients that could also be found in botox treatments.
- Another thing that people need to look for in an eye cream is Vitamin E. This specific ingredient is best for keeping the skin younger looking. It is also very affordable and it is available in different products. People could pick from different brands as well as long as they make sure that their eye area would not have fine like or wrinkles and should not be dark.
- Tretinoin is also a great treatment since it is one of the best ingredients for eye creams. What people need to know though is apply the cream slowly and moderately to avoid the cream from hurting the eye. Tretinoin is a strong ingredient and is a potent one in terms of keeping the face wrinkle free at all times.
- Also try to look for Gingko biloba when picking for eye creams. Ginkgo biloba helps a lot in keeping the puffiness away. The puffiness under the eye area makes people look old. It could also result to crow's feet around the eye areas. People who are in their 30's would look really old if they would not treat their eye wrinkles.
- Jojoba and Shea butter are both excellent ingredients that should be in the eye creams that people would consider buying. These two ingredients are excellent in keeping the skin in the eye area hydrated. Properly hydrated skin makes people look a lot younger so it is important to look for products that could help improve the looks of people.
- Pro Vitamin B5 is also a great ingredient because it helps refresh the eyes making it look young and free from the ugly fine lines. This makes the eyes look a lot relaxed and not tired.
These are some of the eye cream ingredients that people should look for if they really wish to make sure that they would have younger looking eyes. People should always make sure that their eyes are well taken care of because the eyes make people look good.

We got the flu. All of us. So I haven't baked much these last few weeks...at first because I was taking care of Mr.Sweetshack...then because I was taking care of my sick little ones, and then because I couldn't taste (due to the flu junk). I didn't want to try a new recipe and not know if it was good or if my judegement was thrown due to the whole "no-taste" factor.
Flu or not, we needed dessert...so I took the easy way out and made something that I knew would be good...plus I thought I should jump on the St. Paddy's Day bandwagon before it's too late ("bandwagon" - is that a real word? sounds funny when I say it...bandwagon...). Anyway, we love these Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies around the holidays, and it only took a little green food coloring (ok alot of green food coloring...not that I'm a fan of food coloring in mass quantities or for no apparent reason, but I thought it necessary to enhance the St. Patrick's-y-ness)...
Andes Creme De Menthe Cookies:
1/2 cup salted butter - softened
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 package (10 oz.) Andes® Crème de Menthe Baking Chips
2-2/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Blend butter, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla and eggs until mixed.
Stir in Andes Baking Chips (note: the actual recipe calls for a whole package, but to me that's too minty - so I always just use 1/2 of a package) and then flour...add lots of green foodcoloring in honor of St. Patrick's Day...
Chill approximately one hour in the refrigerator
Scoop dough onto cookie sheets...decide if you're a smoosher or not...maybe I should explain...Ok - depending on what recipe I am making, sometimes it is necessary to "smoosh" the dough slightly with your palm (you heard it here first folks, "smoosh" is now an official baking term), so like instead of baking a cookie dough ball shaped like a scoop of icecream, you are baking a level disc of cookie dough. In this picture, the cookie on the left was smooshed, the cookie on the right was not, the left one bakes more level, the one on the right is more domed...but I took this picture with a pink camera, so you may not be able to see what I mean, but that's ok because I have a cute pink camera, right?
Bake at 350° F for approximately 8 - 10 minutes.
Now you can say fun Irish phrases like "top 'o the mornin' to ya" and "wee lassies" and "magically delicious" (ok that last one technically is not irish...as far as I know).
I feel compelled to tell you that your eyes are not playing tricks on you, these cookies ARE different sizes...I couldn't decide which size scoop to use, so I used 3 graduated sizes :) Also, if you are new to food coloring - do not be alarmed if "the luck of the Irish" follows you into the next diaper change...just sayin'.
Happy Baking!

Drinking Lemon Honey Water for a year? This is what happens!
Lemon Honey Water
We already had few articles about the benefits of drinking lemon water so far. But this is an article about what really happens when you drink this natural remedy for a year. Are you interested?
People often turn to lemons and lemon based water and teas when they catch a flue. Pills often can cause some side effects which is not the case with this natural remedy. The medicine you buy in the pharmacy stores can make you feel even weaker, so the "patients" are interested in and want to know more about natural remedies and cures.
Some of the skeptics can tell a different story at the beginning but after trying the remedy by themselves, they can't deny its effectiveness. One of the benefits of drinking lemon honey water is that your whole organism will be subjected to a transformation and believe me, this transformation is for the better.
via extremeupdate
Some of the Other Things that will Undeniably Change are:
Your immune system will be hard to defeat by common illnesses, so you won't catch any colds during that cold winter weather. You'll forget about how sneezing looks like.
The flora in your stomach will calm down and you are less likely to have stomachaches. Since lemon honey water is improving the digestive system, you'll end up with an excellent cure for constipation and cystitis.
You are likely to no longer suffer from headaches.

Your urinary tract will be protected from infections. Also your body will be immune to other infections because honey has antibacterial properties.
Lemons water is purifying the blood and helps our organism in producing new blood cells even faster than before.
Your large intestine will be kept hydrated.
Your skin will have flawless glow and your hair will be stronger and shinier.
It will help your body to get rid of toxins which leads to better control of your weight.
You won't need your coffee to start the day. Lemon water is the best way to jump into the daily obligations feeling fresh and full of energy.
via jurnalasia
You will also get enough quality sleep and you will need just a few moments to get out of bed, not a whole hour like before. No more sleepyhead, that's for sure.
Your nerves will calm down and you'll be feeling more "zen", in other words.
You'll probably share your secret with everyone you know.
This is How to Do it:
Fill your mug with warm water, add ½ squeezed lemon and a tablespoon honey. Drink it in the morning. Make sure not to use boiling water, since the high temperature may kill the properties of the lemon juice and honey.
After drinking it for a year, I never felt better in my life! I can feel and also witness all the benefits. It's a magical mixture, what can I say? If you want to improve your health, this drink is a must! It only costs a penny and at the same time our health is priceless.

HIV is in every country across the world. Anyone can be at risk from HIV. Some people are at continual risk and others are only at risk a few times in their life.
This is mainly because those two groups of people are in processes where it is easy to test them as part of health checks. This means that the vast majority of Irish society has never been tested.
A HIV test is the only way to know whether you have HIV or not. It is your responsibility to request a HIV test as you cannot get a test any other way unless you are pregnant or seeking asylum.
The vast majority of people who get a HIV test receive a negative diagnosis.
The main reason to test is because you know you may have been at risk from HIV transmission.
You cannot tell by looking at someone if they are living with HIV.
HIV is a virus that takes years to fully develop within your body. Once developed it begins to weaken your immunity system so you are vulnerable to illnesses and infections.
As with all conditions, treatment is more effective if it is administered at the early stages of the infection. It is now possible to live a natural, healthy life span and live with HIV provided you find out about it before it damages your immune system.

Discussion in 'M3 Adapter' started by theforbidden1, Aug 13, 2008.
i have 1 M3 real + GBA expension pack.
Where can i download the firmware?
This site is always updated with the newest firmwares when they are released... book mark it!
You can use either the G6/M3 or Sakura... either will work.
Depends whether you want the Real firmware or if you wanna use the hacked Sakura firmware.
M3 Real 3.9 - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2878
Sakura - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2553
do these two firmwares alow to use GBA expansion pack?
Yes, bot do, Sakura even uses GBA expansion to run more smoothly, and faster!
both support m3real GBA expansion and ewin GBA expansion directly.
Does the Fireware 3.9v have a Limit to how many files can be in the NDS game folder? I switched back to firmware from Sakura because some games wouldn't run in Sakura. Please help me!
There's no limit. Try reformatting your card if some games don't work... I've never had a problem with any games (Just the opening scene freeze in TWEWY)
Use the three-in-one loader so you only have to use the Real firmware for home brew. (kept commingled in the root folder for me, while my NDS folder has each game in a separate folder, which is easier to deal with in sakura.)
I must of had an older or unstable version of Sakura. I found another version that seems to run all the games I was having problems running! Thanks for all the help!
there is a 128 game limit
Would that limit cause games not to load if I was way over?
if your talking about number of files limit in the root folder of a card formatted with FAT (FAT 16 is what fat formats in as standard) its actually 512 files total!
and yes it could cause games not to load
remembering here that 512 games will also need 512 save files so in theory your limit is 256 GAMES + 256 SAVE files = 512 total files in the root folder! added to this if you have less games and MORE homebrew etc in the root this limit is quickly reached
for more format in FAT 32 but .... some games have problems with FAT 32 and freeze and will not load so the common resolve is format FAT and then just catagorise your files in folders such as GAMES, HOMEBREW, MUSIC, DPG,OTHER etc etc
not only does this make things MORE organised its easier when looking for specific stuff to play/use at a later date

Wealth Management News
Pension Annuity Incomes Drop To Their Lowest Ever
A recent pensions report has discovered that the average annual income offered by standard annuity has reached an all-time low, dropping by 6.4% since the beginning of 2015, The Telegraph reports.
The news comes in the wake of one of the biggest pensions overhauls in decades, so represents a major blow to savers who were expecting to see their savings prospects improve under the new legislation.
Moneyfacts compared current annuity rates to those of around 30 years ago, when the modern annuity market first began. It found that the average standard annuity income for a 65-year-old with £10,000 in their pension pot has fallen by 5.9% since the start of the year; for those with £50,000 saved up, this plunged by 6.4%.
As an example, in January this year a 65-year-old with £50,000 saved up would have received an average yearly payout of £2,727, on a standard annuity. But despite the new rules meaning that savers no longer have to buy annuity, the findings show that since the reforms, this same person would now get an annual payout of £2,550 - £177 less than before.
For the saver with £10,000 in their pot, their annuity payout has fallen from £506 a year before the reforms, to just £476 now.
Commenting on the findings, Moneyfacts´ head of pensions Richard Eagling, stated that "retirees looking for a secure income now face the unenviable position of annuitising at the lowest point in the product´s history.
"This is particularly unfortunate for those individuals who may have deferred making a choice until the introduction of the pension freedoms but have since decided that an annuity is still the most suitable product for them."
The article notes that people considering buying an annuity who either smoke or have poor health could consider getting an enhanced annuity. These often have better rates as those on them generally have lower life expectancies; and they have proven to be "slightly more resilient" than standard annuities, according to Moneyfacts.

Frances O'Grady (above) was engaging company at the #Lab17 CWU reception. Emma Francis' delegate report is below.
I haven't been to Labour Party Conference for 12 years – not since my daughter was born – having been an annual attendee for the nine years prior to that. However, I'd never been a delegate before, so I was intrigued to see what it involved and whether conference had changed much.
First off was the London Labour reception. It was packed, with the fantastic new MP for Battersea, Marsha de Cordova, introducing London mayor Sadiq Khan. Sadiq gave a rousing speech, heralding the new London MPs and thanking us all for the campaign we'd run in May. I then introduced myself to Jess Phillips MP – the loud-mouthed Brummie who's a favourite of mine thanks to her focus on women's rights and her general willingness to speak her mind. She gave me a hug!!!!!!
Next morning it was the London Labour briefing where we were told how conference works. It truly is a confusing system. So many different types of votes and not all very democratic. For example, there were two ballots – one on the subjects that would be discussed that week (called the Priorities Ballot) and one on who should sit on the National Constitutional Committee (Labour's disciplinary committee). You only get one ballot paper per constituency and while it's meant to be decided by a discussion between delegates, in some cases it came down to which delegate got there first. I was extremely disappointed that a debate and vote on Brexit was not prioritised, given that it's the biggest issue facing our country (it was also the subject with the most contemporary motions from CLPs, after the NHS, which was also not debated). I later learned that Momentum organised their members to not vote for the Brexit debate – apparently to spare the blushes of the leadership.
The theme for that first day was 'Protecting Communities', which kicked off with a speech from Diane Abbott (who said that her biggest priority as Home Secretary would be keeping people safe. She also promised a full inquiry into Orgreave). Delegates were then invited to address conference, but to say they played fast and loose with the theme would be an understatement! One great contribution was from Kingston & Surbiton member Tony Kearns (also Senior Deputy General Secretary of the CWU) on climate change. His parting remark was "There are no jobs on a dead planet".
We also had to get to grips with a new procedure called 'Referring Back'. Basically, the key document that conference is there to discuss is the National Policy Forum report, which is a summary of the all the work of all the National Policy Forums. If a delegate objects to any part of it, they can literally stand up at any point and say 'I want to refer X back', which then requires them to speak and then for a vote to be taken.
There was also a bit of argy bargy on the first day as the National Exec Committee had put Sadiq Khan on the agenda to speak, and Momentum had organised their members to argue that he shouldn't be allowed to speak (as they wanted more time for 'ordinary members' to speak). I voted in favour of hearing from him – I think that the Labour politician with the biggest mandate in the UK is worth hearing from. The Conference Arrangements Committee assured delegates that our other metro mayors – such as Andy Burnham – would get a chance in future years.
One delegate raised the lack of debate on the crisis in our children's mental health. I also would have liked a debate on this issue and therefore was glad to meet her at the Young Minds and Labour Campaign for Mental Health reception later that evening. Krystal Finan – my co-secretary of our CLP – is also the Secretary of the LCFMH, a great organisation which campaigns on this crucial issue.
The day's conference debates finished with a great speech from Labour's leader in Wales, Carwyn Jones. He likened the Tories' approach to Brexit to Dante's nine circles of hell. He commented, "Dante had Virgil as his spiritual guide, David Davies has Nigel Farage".
Monday kicked off with a debate on Brexit and Internationalism (but with no vote). I tried to speak in support of a 'reference back' to insert a 'pause' in our policy on departing the EU. However, I didn't have an inflatable parrot or a brightly coloured scarf, which other speakers used (successfully) to attract the attention of the chair. A disabled delegate raised the issue that it's unfair that speakers are selected on this basis, as it favours the able and the noisy (and the owners of inflatables). During the debate the divisions on Brexit became apparent, but no-one argued with Labour's basic principle that any deal should have jobs and workers at its forefront. The session finished with Emily Thornberry – shame she felt the need to include a stab at Tony Blair and Chuka Umuna in an otherwise barnstorming speech - and Keir Starmer, who trod a very careful line of keeping everyone happy with our approach to Brexit. I do not envy him his job.
They were followed by a debate on the economy. Dave Ward, another Kingston & Surbiton member (and also Gen Sec of the CWU) called for a publicly owned Post Office bank and fast broadband for all. He was followed by John McDonnell MP, who talked about his aspiration to bring back all PFIs "back in-house" and to renationalise rail, water, energy and Royal Mail. I'm a supporter of renationalisation of key industries but I do think there are other things we should spend our money on first, such as removing the benefits cap, the NHS and education.
There are fringe meetings throughout the day at conference. On Monday I attended the All Party Parliamentary Group on Women and Work's session on what we can do to support more women into leadership positions. Monday night was top celebrity night – Tony Kearns invited all three K&S delegates to the CWU reception, where he introduced us to Labour Party Gen Sec Ian McNichol, Angela Rayner MP, Angela Eagle MP and Frances O'Leary, Gen Sec of the TUC. Jeremy Corbyn addressed the reception – the first time I've heard him speak live.
Tuesday was very procedural, with an initial debate about whether we should accept the Conference Arrangement's plans for the day, which put everything back a couple of hours. It was eventually passed with a card vote (for the first time we got to use our voting cards – which only come out when the result of delegates raising their hands is not clear). Rebecca Long-Bailey then spoke about industrial policy, including a commitment to 60% renewable or low carbon energy by 2030. Angela Rayner followed with a speech on education – it was great to hear about her plans for a National Education Service (providing education from cradle to grave), a promise to pay teachers properly and a commitment to reverse the cuts to SureStart. I also tried to speak in the education debate to request that a Labour Government undertake a review of the pressures we put on our children in school, and the resulting impact it has on their mental health. I was not successful (I refer you back to my earlier comment about not having an inflatable bird to wave around).
Following a visit to the Musicians' Union fringe at lunchtime (which made me think we could enlist their help to save the Hippodrome in Kingston), we returned back to the hall to hear from guest speaker Naomi Klein. She focused heavily on climate change, and described a Labour win in the UK as a "moral imperative".
Following some more votes, I then departed for London as I had to visit a secondary school with my son (he's about to leave primary school). I was therefore able to watch Jeremy's speech from the comfort of my armchair (although the atmosphere in my sitting room is not quite that of the conference hall). A great speech with a commitment to make housing the priority for a Labour Government – something I'm sure the voters of Kingston & Surbiton CLP will welcome.
So, to conclude, conference was a mixed bag. There were some highlights –fantastic speeches, good debates and old (and new) friends. There were also some real disappointments – the lack of vote on Brexit, the unwillingness of delegates on the conference floor to hear from those with a differing opinion, and lack of democratic processes in some areas. I have been a Labour Party member for 23 years and yet when I voted on one issue, a delegate behind me said loudly "Who are these people? They should leave the party". The Labour Party has always been a broad church and I believe it's essential we remember this (and indeed embrace it) if we are serious about winning the 60+ extra seats that we need to in order take power. The UK desperately needs a Labour Government. Let's remember it's the Tories we've got to beat in order to make this happen, not each other!
PS if anyone is interested in seeing any of the conference literature please let me know – I have saved it all!

Goals and Objectives
SRSP with the financial help of EU, is undertaking developmental projects of large scale in the Militancy hit Malakand Division. Malakand Agency has not only been hit by militancy but also by natural disasters inhibiting the area's true potential. Under PEACE SRSP is making a difference in this area by undertaking different infrastructure, social and economic activities.
Owned by the communities and undertaken by SRSP, these projects consist of
- Electricity Generation by using the enormous water-based electricity generation potential of the area.
- Establishing a representative system of Community Organizations to take ownership of the projects.
- Improvement of Community Infrastructure (CPI) and Basic Social Services.
- Ensuring social and financial independence of women by providing them an equal opportunity in the process.
- Generating Economic activities by identifying growth factors.
Programme Components
PEACE is developing renewable energy in remote locations through setting micro hydro units ranging from 50 KW and up-to 2MW.
Participatory system ensures economic and social empowement of Women within the cultural context of the area
Details of Capacity Building Programs (women trained in Nos.)
Besides providing basic Literary and Numerical skills to over 6000 women through establishment of 240 Adult Literacy Centres, the programme will develop managerial, entrepreneurial and livelihood skills of over 14,000 women.
It is imparting Literary and Numerical skills to over 6000 women in 240 adult literacy centers.
In Malakand, patriarchy, low literacy rates, limited space for public activities, lack of access to resources and services all render women the most disadvantaged segment of society. The process of community mobilization, which sets up women organizations along with men organizations, is the first step towards providing space and defining a role for women in the development process. These institutions help build women's group capacity and are an initial step in addressing their practical and strategic gender needs. PEACE is committed to promoting greater gender equality and giving women a larger share in social life. With the objective of promoting women's access to livelihoods, the action has identified a set of activities which are being undertaken with women to build their personal and group capacities to manage diversified livelihood resources related to an economy that is fast becoming monetized. One important feature of these activities is the literacy and numeracy skills training for women alongside their economic empowerment. By of end of project, 6,000 women would be provided with basic literacy and numeracy skills besides building the livelihood and entrepreneurial skills of 6,000 women. The skill trainings would be supplemented by provision of tool kits or livelihood resources, which would be extended to 6,000 poor women. The programme will also provide leadership and managerial skills to 2,000 women leaders beside producing 200 master trainers in different fields.
Developing Self-confidence of women & their ability to independently participate in social & economic activities
Community Build Infrastructure
The programme has taken proactive measures to improve delivery of basic social services through developing and improving small scale infrastructure schemes. A two pronged approach has been adopted; a) rehabilitation and improvement of government schemes predominantly in health and education b) Identification, implementation and maintenance of productive infrastructure schemes through an active role of local communities. Following successful meetings with provincial education and health departments resulting in signing separate MoUs with these two departments, EU-PEACE has been able to develop and rehabilitate education and health facilities identified in collaboration with relevant departments in Malakand Division. So far at least 131 government facilities have been rehabilitated and improved with a cost of PKR 96 million. In addition, 477 small scale infrastructure schemes improving community's access to basic services have been initiated /completed with a cost of 760 million.
Growth of Economic Activities
PEACE is committed to ensure socio-economic development of 4,000 entrepreneurs with new business opportunities by increasing their income on a sustainable basis. A comprehensive approach entailing technical and managerial support for establishing and supporting potential value chains, small scale enterprises and entrepreneurs would be adopted. Formation of Business Interest Groups (BIGs), enhancing and refining business skills at local levels, exposure visits, orientation on markets/trends and linkages with renowned and known business development services providers are some of major achievements under this component.
306 business interest groups formed around these trades with a membership of 4,132 farmers. 3,287 farmers trained in value chain development.
Value Chain and Enterprise Development
The programme has organized over 4,132 farmers in 306 Business Interest Groups (BIGs). A total of 3,287 men and women farmers were provided with numerous trainings in value chain development. Besides Value Chain Development, the programme also provided entrepreneurial skills trainings to 3,055 members of business interest groups. Depending on nature of value chains or businesses
2,677 men and women were exposed to major provincial and national markets besides developing their linkages with Business Development Service Providers (BDSPs), which has improved and refined products as per national and international standards. 2,825 members of BIGs under district specific value chains were identified and provided with in kind support under the programme.
Community Institution Building and Youth Development
The crux of the RSP approach is to empower and strengthen the capacities of the people through organizing collective action to improve their social and economic environment. This collective capacity is created through the formation of broad member-based participatory organizations of the citizens. These are democratic institutions for local self-government, essential for building the capacity of the people to create, expand and improve their own communities.
Formation of 11,273 women community based organizations with 68,272 members is a major achievement.
During PEACE project, SRSP is committed to nurture and strengthen 12,000 community based organizations at various levels i.e. settlement/muhallah , village and union councils, which would be supplemented by developing a trained cadre of master triniers/resource persons besides enhancing managerial and leadership skills of over 50,000 community members and exposing them to best practices and experience sharing workshop.One of the important elements of the component is investment in youth which will have a high rate of return and youth development activities can immensely contribute in refining social, creative, cognitive and emotional skills. This investment in long run is envisaged to contribute in developing youth (30% of total population of Malakand Division) to be responsible citizen of Pakistan.

Tractor Derby
A farmer works all day in the field and waits for almost half a year to harvest his produce. During that time, all he can rely upon is his savings from last year's harvest. That is the reason why, you don't see any farmer being a spender. They have to save for future. However, not all farmers are like that since some of them comes from a company and have lots of money before they become a farmer. These are the retired guys and they like to be a farmer not only for the health benefits, but also the fact that they become close to nature. When you are getting old, you need to be close to nature since it would heal you of whatever disease you have. In this farmer's case, he have a lot of savings and he don't need to work anymore, but since he likes farming, he is doing it regularly. He have save a lot and have secured the future of his family. He have a lot of vehicles, but the one thing that is most precious to him is his tractor. When he heard about the tractor racing contest, he set off to practice his driving skills. In this game, you are not going to use the tractor to plow the field or just deliver it to the nearest market. Instead, you are going to use it for a race. Anyway, this would be a practice run for the farmer to prepare for the race. The idea here is to get to the finish line early. You need to drive as fast as you can till you reach it. However, that won't be that easy since the road ahead is full of danger. You need to collect as much vegetables as you can since that would power the booster.

Have you ever entertained the possibility that your business is not reaching its full potential? That although your financials are in place and your product is in good shape, something keeps holding you back from growing the way you deserve? Or, are you growing at a speed that is asking much more from your workforce than they are currently able to deliver?
The answer might lie in leveraging one of the largest yet invisible areas of idle capacity that your business already controls: Untapped employee engagement.
According to a recent Gallup study, 85% of employees are not engaged or even actively disengaged at work. Only 1 in 3 employees say they have the opportunity to do what they do best. And barely 20% say that their performance is managed in a motivating way.
The opportunity is endless – and its already at your fingertips!
This is what I do! As a talent strategy consultant, I help business owners and executives redesign the employee experience, using an integrative approach to align their strategic goals and mission with an actionable talent strategy. Defining and enabling a culture that fits the company's mission and history set the stage for designing a seamless engagement process, from employer branding and talent acquisition, over on-boarding and developing, to promotion and first-level manager support to bring it to full fruition.

Bob & Cass interview Frank Schaeffer about his latest book, "Why I'm an Atheist Who Believes in God." Once we get past that fact that semantically those words are mutually exclusive, an odd conversation can happen. This paradox, this tension, especially for those who were raised religious and are no longer, can stick in your head for decades. Perhaps some just can't completely shut the coffin on God? "Spiritual but not religious." How much space can remain for the possibility of a "god" or Prime Mover once one denies all supernaturalism, magic, superstition, and fully accepts Darwin's theory of evolution? Is it anything more than feelings or wishful thinking?

Our opinion: We deserve a budget hearing, too
Gov. Phil Scott's administration is holding community-based budget hearings on Monday evening at locations throughout the state. But if you live in Bennington County and you want to make a point or ask a question about the state's financial plan for the year ahead, you'll need to get in your car and drive: The closest locations for area residents are in Rutland and Springfield.
This just won't do.
We realize that we're cut off from much of the state's population centers, thanks to the vagaries of geography and poor decisions made by transportation planners decades ago. But we ought not be punished for our isolation.
It is true that this is merely the governor's proposed state budget, that the finished product might bear little resemblance to this proposal, and that it's still early in the process. But there's still a principle to uphold here, and it's an important one.
The state budget is not just a parade of numbers. It's a statement of priorities and policy for the coming year, one that has direct impact on every single resident and taxpayer of the Green Mountain State, from Pownal to Newport and everywhere between. If you're a child attending school, a young adult taking classes at a CCV campus, a parent needing affordable quality child care, or a senior citizen concerned about cleaning up Lake Champlain, this document matters a great deal.
What's more, that budget is a road map of how our taxes will be spent. If the citizens of Johnson, Springfield, Rutland, St. Albans, St. Johnsbury and Winooski get to have their say about where the state and their tax dollars are headed, why not us?
We naturally do feel isolated in Southern Vermont, but we are willing to give Gov. Scott some leeway when it comes to fair treatment of our region; he has, in his first year in office, been fairly attentive to our part of the state. If nothing else, Scott has made a point of visiting our region on multiple occasions, which is something not every statewide elected official can say about their travel schedule.
Hopefully, this is the exception that proves the rule. And there's time to turn this one around.
Here's our free, unsolicited advice: We hope that sometime soon, a member of the Scott administration will come to Bennington County with a laptop and a recorder, a copy of the governor's proposed spending plan (which you can find at http://finance.vermont.gov/budget/budget-recommendations/operating-budget/fy2019) and the willingness to sit and listen.

Life is swirling around me.
So ... my dinner date with Michael. I have a feeling you haven't heard the end of this drama. He apologized for running out on me last Saturday. He doesn't want to lose my friendship. He swears that he can handle casually dating me. I just kept reminding him that actions speak louder than words. We'll wait and see.
He dropped me off after dinner and I immediately changed my clothes and went back out into the cold. I'm co-hosting a party on Feb 11 at a local restaurant, and the owner invited me to stop by for his Latin jazz night.
When I arrived the owner told me to go chat with a woman at the end of the bar. "She's waiting for friends; keep her company." Sure - I was by myself and didn't want to stick out like a sore thumb either. So we start chatting and it turns out she was waiting for her co-workers. She works at a company that I'd like to work for ... when the co-workers arrived, she introduced me to the owner ... who just so happens to live on my street. I have no idea what will come of it, if anything, but I fully intend on sending my resume next week.
And then, as I was getting ready to leave, a man walked in. Someone who I know I've seen downtown frequently. So I went up to him and asked his name. There was a reason he looked familiar. He's an artist of some renown who I saw speak at a function years ago. He also happens to have grown up in the area where I grew up - we went to the same high school! And get this - he's now divorced.
I promptly invited him to the Feb 11 party.
