Web Development
Market Online
Web Development
Web development has come a long way. WebSites are more than intriguing graphics and copy. They have wonderous technological developed into them, like metrics, analytical data capacity, as well as social media measurement.
A well thought out site gives a business true advantage marketing -- introducing a company to potentially more customer that it can handle.
It's an exciting, brave new world. One thing about our site is that it is highly visually pleasing -- partly get you to look at it -- but mainly to make you contact and partner with us.
We use Google analytics, and social measurement tracking, so don't be fooled by simplicity. Why are so many advertising, marketing and PR sites are bland , or copycat ( 'We got video -- he got video -- all God's children got video'), and yet you deal with them?
Digital agencies are mostly flatness, static and stale. That's the end design you will get. We don't copy anyone, so our work is original. That's the qualitative difference.
We're A Great Investment
We're not going to use that cliche term about being cutting edge -- we think of ourselves a step beyond that. At Carson Dunn Media, we pledge one thing: quality.
You can't expect a cheap WebSite to be anything but rudimentary -- cheap. WebSites provide visibility to consumers if it is accompanied with these enhancements:
2) Design
4) Online Content
5) Apps specific to a business, and,
7) Email marketing.
A lot of web design companies use overseas providers.
If you run into a problem, guess what? We stand by our work.

Founding member of Greater Philadelphia region's impact investing ecosystem, arrives from Wharton Social Impact Initiative
Founding member of Greater Philadelphia region's impact investing ecosystem, arrives from Wharton Social Impact Initiative
Philadelphia -- Threshold Group (http://www.thresholdgroup.com), a leading family-owned wealth management firm and family office, has added Jacob Gray as Managing Director, Impact Investing based in Philadelphia, a region in which Threshold Group's presence and renown within the impact investor community has expanded significantly over the past year. This team building continues to advance Threshold Group's substantial impact investing capabilities.
Impact investing accomplishments
With more than 20 years in the impact investing field, Gray is a seasoned venture capital (VC) impact investor, business developer and thought leader, and a founding member of much of the Greater Philadelphia region's impact ecosystem. He joins Threshold Group from his role as Senior Director of the Wharton Social Impact Initiative, where he led the establishment of Wharton's role as a clear leader among peer institutions in the impact investing field. He led the growth of the Wharton Impact Investing Partners to its prominence as the largest and most active student-run impact investment VC fund among peer institutions.
In partnership with founder Bridges Ventures, Gray co-developed the MBA Impact Investing Network and Training (MIINT) into the pre-eminent experiential learning platform for impact investing. Last year MIINT trained 620 students from 25 of the world's top business and policy schools.
Gray also helped develop Wharton's prominence as an impact investing thought leader. He was instrumental in the project that led to the landmark Wharton research report, Great Expectations: Financial Performance and Mission Preservation in Impact Investing, the industry's first rigorous, independent evaluation of impact investing private equity financial performance, credited with helping to dispel the myth that impact and financial performance may be negatively correlated. This team of Wharton professors and researchers established Wharton's impact investing performance database with a mission of accelerating the pace of rigorous research in the category. Also to support impact investing at Wharton, Gray developed funding partnerships that include well-known foundations, philanthropic investment firms, family offices, financial institutions and private individual donors.
Prior to his Wharton role, Gray was co-founder and Partner of Murex, a pioneering early stage impact venture capital fund, where he focused on sectors including education technology and financial services for the poor. Murex was a Small Business Administration-licensed New Markets Venture Capital Company, a Global Impact Investing Rating System (GIIRS) Pioneer Fund, and a pioneering Impact Assets Impact 50 fund. While at Murex, he also co-founded GoodCompany Ventures, the region's first social enterprise incubator, and co-founded Investors' Circle Philadelphia, the first regional chapter of the oldest and largest impact investing angel network. Gray received his Bachelor of the Arts from Brown University.
Threshold Group emphasis on impact investing
The company made its first impact investment in 2008 and has since helped its clients direct about one-third of their total assets under management toward impact investing. Threshold Group is committed to creating innovative solutions, as evidenced by its thematic strategies around sustainable real assets, access to capital, and place-based strategies, including its "Invest Northwest," regional investment platform. Threshold Group has also collaborated with Christopher Geczy, Ph.D. (founder of Forefront Analytics, LLC, and faculty member in the Finance Department at The Wharton School and academic director of Wharton's Jacobs Levy Equity Management Center for Quantitative Financial Research and the Wharton Wealth Management Initiative) on a new environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, the "Forefront Impact Resiliency Strategy," a highly diversified mix of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that meet ESG standards.
Gray reports to Ron Albahary, CFA, Chief Investment Officer, and will work closely with Stephanie Cohn Rupp, Managing Director and leader of the Impact Investing team, as part of the firm's research team.
"Our team and our clients will benefit from Jacob's extensive experience within the impact ecosystem," notes Albahary. "He is an extremely well-respected subject matter expert, and has been an excellent collaborator with us on our panel discussions about impact investing. Partnering Jacob with Stephanie Cohn Rupp, our impact investing leader, should continue to yield exceptional results in the areas of thought leadership and innovation within the impact investing space."
"We see Jacob making contributions in several areas," Albahary adds, "as he assumes a multi-faceted role—innovative solution development, strategy research, business development, client service, and providing a valuable insight into our strategic vision for impact. I am very pleased to welcome him to our research team and am excited to introduce him to our clients as well as the Greater Philadelphia market."
"I am delighted to have Jacob Gray join our impact investing team," adds Rupp. "I worked with him when I led the Toniic global network of impact investors, and he worked with the Wharton Social Impact Initiative. He is highly focused on building out the sector of impact investing, helping investors walk this path, and sharing empirical evidence on the financial and social/environmental performance of impact assets."
"Threshold Group and its clients have long shown innovation and commitment to the future of impact investing," Gray explains. "In this role, I am keen to help the next wave of family and foundation investors to benefit society and environment."

LOOK: Nick Saban dons Nashville Predators jersey, and internet goes crazy
Could Alabama coach Nick Saban really be Stanley Cup crazy? The man who loves to destroy all those in his path in college football and Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies appears to have some affinity for the Nashville Predators, who beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-1 in Game 3 on Saturday night to trim the Penguins' series lead to 2-1.
Courtesy of Mercedes-Benz of Music City's Facebook page, here is a few shots of Saban and wife Terry, with Saban sporting a Predators jersey. Looks like Saban finally found something that makes him happy other than winning himself. Look at that smile!

Community Education.
Lonzetta, Margaret H.
Three major components of programs offered to public school students and teachers by the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia are described. One of the organization's major objectives is to prepare students for responsible roles as citizens and community leaders. The first component features a certified social studies teacher as liaison with the council to coordinate programs such as model United Nations and Senate Foreign Relations Committee, current events seminars, and briefings at agencies in Washington, D.C., and New York. The second component consists of the Education in World Affairs project, comprised of elementary and secondary school students with low scores on nationally standardized tests. The program offers materials, field trips, and resource persons as part of its social studies enrichment curriculum. The third component is the Philadelphia High School for International Affairs, a magnet school co-sponsored by the School District of Philadelphia and the World Affairs Council. The curriculum includes special global studies courses and requires 4 years of a foreign language. Programs for teachers include inservice courses, staff development sessions, workshops, and one-time events bearing on a crucial world issue. (KC)

I have quite a stash of yarn. But, it seems that everytime I want to make something new, I don't seem to have "just the right color/weight" of yarn - so, off I go to the store to buy even MORE yarn.
So, when I saw this pattern, I thought it would be good to make a sofa pillow with my stash.
As some of you are probably saying to
"she's not going to use very much yarn making a sofa pillow"
Well, you're right.... Somehow, I thought I would have used more.
But, I AM going to make a second pillow - even a larger pillow
(because I have a larger pillow form on hand!)
I went with a simple Granny Square for the other side.
I don't make granny squares very often, I forget how much fun they are to make!
I had so much fun with this stitch. It kept me counting,
but I didn't have to keep looking at the pattern.

Are you having trouble with your finances, having to deal with an emergency cash expense or have an outstanding regular monthly bill? You need to know that you are far from being alone in this and that it is time to let go of the stress. There is a great solution to your uncomfortable financial situation.
What type of financial assistance should you get?
Online payday loans from direct lenders can help you regain your financial stability in no time, and therefore enable you to once again start enjoying your life. Online cash advances from direct loan lending companies can be a great solution to a number of tricky financial situations as they are designed to help deal with bills that require immediate action when you simply do not have enough cash to deal with these bills on your own.
How to apply for an online payday loan from a direct lender
Applying for an online payday loan from a direct private loan lending company is very fast and really simple. To qualify for a direct lender online cash advance, you will only need to meet some basic requirements. These requirements will definitely feel like nothing compared to the criteria that you have to meet if you want to qualify for a traditional loan from a standard loan lending institution. In addition to the easy loan application process, you should know that in most of the cases, direct online payday loan lenders do not run any strict credit checks on their customers. That means that even if your credit score is far from perfect, you still have the chance of qualifying for your online payday loan from a direct lender. This is a great feature that attracts many borrowers. As most of us know, many people do not have the luxury of having a stellar credit score, and so being able to qualify for an online payday loan from a direct loan lending company even with bad credit is really a game changer. The same cannot be said for other loan types such as mortgages and car title loans, especially if you are trying to take such loans from a conventional loan lending institution such as a bank. And since online cash advances from direct lenders are unsecured loans, you would not need to put any of your property as a collateral in order to get your loan.
Online payday loans from direct lenders terms
With an online cash advance from a direct lender, you can normally get an amount up to $1000. The standard time period for an online payday loan from a direct lender does not exceed 31 days. These terms, of course, can vary on one online payday loan to another depending on where you live and the payday loan lending company you are working with. This is because every state in the US has its own payday loan lending law regulations. Therefore, if you are living in California, you will probably get different loan terms for your online payday loan from if you were living in Texas. Also, the terms of an online cash advance can vary depending on the payday loan lender that you have chosen to work with.
Choosing a payday loan company
Different payday loan lending companies offer different loan terms to their clients, and so picking the right loan lending company for your specific financial situation can be crucial to the overall outcome of your borrowing. Keep in mind that online payday loans from direct private loan lending companies have extremely high-interest rates and fees. This is, of course, due to the speed of the service, the short-term nature of the loans and the lack of serious eligibility criteria.
You need to be careful
You should know that if you fail to repay your online cash advance on time, you could end up in a much worse situation than the one you were in before you even got the loan. So unless you are absolutely confident in your ability to repay your online payday loan from a direct lender in full, on time, you may want to try looking for some online payday loan alternatives.
Alternatives to online payday loans from direct lenders
Since online cash advances from direct private loan lending companies can be quite dangerous. In case you are not completely sure in your ability to repay such loans within the given time period, it is probably going to be a good idea to explore some other options. Of course, every person's financial situation is unique and therefore, not everyone will have the same alternatives for financial assistance. Here are some of the most common ways for dealing with emergency expenses:
Borrow money from friends and family
Borrowing money from your family or friends can be a bit tricky. However, it can also be quite beneficial as unlike with any type of loan, borrowing money from your family or from your friends will most likely not involve any interest. This is a big plus, especially if you are not confident in the stability of your source of income, and therefore you have doubts on whether you will be able to repay an online payday loan on time or not. Borrowing money from your relatives, however, has its downsides too. If you fail to repay the money that you have taken within the agreed time period, you will risk damaging your relationship with that person. And as you may know, an important relationship is usually a lot more valuable than saving some money on interest and fees.
Get an advanced payment from your employer
Depending on where you work and the practices of your workplace, you may be able to get an advanced payment which you can use to deal with your emergency financial troubles. In case that option is available to you, you should probably choose it over taking out an online payday loan, as you will avoid paying money on interest and fees with that option.

Many New Year's resolutions focus on developing healthy habits. Here's one that is important to make and keep: provide a regular diet of books and reading for your preschooler. You feed and care for your child every day so that he will grow into a healthy, happy preschooler. Similarly, you also need to provide experiences that will enhance language development and stimulate learning skills.
Try this list of activities:
A daily reading routine will give all the readers in your family a chance to read with your preschooler. Dads, moms, siblings, caregivers, and friends can all be a part of ensuring your preschooler gets 20 minutes of being read to each day.
Do things, and then talk about it
It's great to offer new experiences to your preschooler, such as a visit to the zoo or museum, but a trip to the grocery store or a neighborhood park can be just as educational. Talk about what you are seeing and ask your preschooler what he thinks of it. When possible, use interesting words to describe what you're seeing.
Read everywhere you go
You can find reading on the road, at the bus stop, in the store, and at the restaurant. Play a game to find words when you are out and about or take a look at home for words on everyday items like cereal boxes, toothpaste, and household appliances.
Be a reading role model
Your child wants to imitate you and be like you. Have plenty of reading material for yourself as well as for your child. Tell your child how much you enjoy reading.
Keep your pulse on progress
Please be sure to see your child's pediatrician or teacher as soon as possible if you have concerns about your child's language development, hearing, or sight.
Help Your Kids Succeed in School
Kids whose parents are involved in their education have better grades, a better attitude toward school, and more appropriate school behavior than those with less involved parents.
Consider also trying a few of these tips and make a big difference!
Consider also trying a few of these tips and make a big difference!
Get involved
- Visit your child's classroom when you bring your child to school.
- See if your school offers any workshops for parents, and arrange to go!
Check on homework
- Talk to your child each day about homework.
- Help your child manage the workload by dividing assignments into smaller parts.
- Give your child a good place to study—away from TV, phone, or loud music.
- Do not use homework as a punishment; include it as part of the daily routine.
Make home a good place for learning
- Praise and encourage your child.
- Be a role model for getting work done before play.
- Establish a homework routine—same time, same place, every day.
- Most importantly, read to your child or have him read to you every day.
Contact your child's teacher; don't wait for the school to contact you. Ask for specific activities you can do at home with your child. Meet with your child's teacher frequently until the problem is resolved.Try to find out why your child seems unhappy with school. Arrange for a conference with the teacher or school counselor. Listen carefully to your child before you offer any solutions.

As Louisiana residents marked the sixth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Americans along the East Coast were dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.
We're glad that Louisiana was spared from Irene's destruction, but our hearts go out to all of those who lost loved ones and property in the storm.
We believe those in Irene's path were better prepared to deal with the hurricane because of America's experience with Katrina.
The worst-case scenario that played out with Katrina was a wake-up call to the rest of the country. Katrina taught officials it's better to prepare for the worst and be pleasantly surprised than to be caught off-guard when bad things happen.
We have little patience with the post-Irene grudgers who have complained officials were too zealous in ordering evacuations and taking other precautions as Irene approached. In areas where those evacuations and precautions proved unnecessary, those inconvenienced by the measures should be counting their blessings, not complaining.
Even in our technologically advanced age, forecasters cannot know exactly where a storm will go or how strong it will be when it arrives.
Given the uncertainty, prudence is always the best option when lives could be at risk.
The ordeal of Irene isn't over. Flood water from the storm continues to threaten some areas, and power outages and clean-up efforts will strain residents of the Northeast for days, if not weeks.
For those who lost loved ones in the storm, life will never be the same.
Here in Louisiana, we know how terrible hurricanes can be. Our thoughts and prayers are with those still suffering from Irene's wrath.

Critical Information Left Out Of NYT Reporting on Syria
It is indeed mystifying how the New York Times does not mention the "Rafik Hariri" name of the Atlantic Center – and all of the implications which this funding and affiliation obviously brings – when The Times itself published a long investigation about… the foreign funding and biases of the whole DC think tank circuit only a few years ago:
Strangely Ben Hubbard mentions that the analyst is from Saudi Arabia – signifying that he can somehow speak for Arabs – but doesn't mention the affiliation beyond what will seem like a neutral think tank to most readers.
Later on Noah Bonsey is quoted without reference to his vigorous support for a US-led military intervention/bombing campaign in Syria… only ICG is mentioned, which similarly does not help to inform the reader about who they are hearing from as analysts.
"A lot of this is an emotional response, but nothing about this strike suggests that the fundamentals of the Syria conflict have shifted," said Noah Bonsey, a Syria analyst with the International Crisis Group.
I wrote a response to Noah's ICG paper which called for US Intervention here:

Most exciting things happening in the London food scene are taking place in the East. Rents are slightly cheaper there meaning less barriers to entry for up-and-coming chefs to ply their trade, and there's more bearded hipsters who are willing to give their new, paired back brand of cooking more of a chance. Portland is Fitzrovia's attempt at joining this scene. With only a choice of three dishes for each course, the menu is confidently minimal. It matches the dining room which is simply designed with white walls and school chairs, lacking slightly in any real warmth or identity. Take away the open kitchen and you have a school detention room. This being Fitzrovia, it was busy with ad execs and creatives (think Oliver Peoples and casual shirts), and the menu with it's unusual combinations might well have been drawn up in one of their think tanks. It's all very present, but lacks any roots that give you a way in.
Snacks were the most enjoyable dishes of the night- a thin crisp of chicken skin had a rich liver parfait on top with candied walnuts and a slice of grape (£1.50 each) to cut through- it was a skilful piece of cooking and tasted as good as it looked. As did the wild rice cracker with yellow fin tuna, lime and shisho (£3 each) which was a refreshing mouthful. Bread with smoked butter and shaved ox heart (a bit of a pointless addition) was lovely, but only 3 half slices left you wanting a lot more.
For starter a Halibut sashimi with buttermilk and black radish (£11) looked like an anaemic flower petal. The black radish added a freshness and light crunch but it distracted slightly from the flavour of the fish. It was a dish that was all surface, with nothing exciting beneath. The other starter of Salsify with thin strips of 'Mangalista' pig (basically crispy bacon) and Comte (£10), was forgettable. These flavours all work together, but there just wasn't enough love in the cooking to make it anything more than a shrug of the shoulders.
From the specials Partridge with blood sausage and fermented damsons (£24) was a taster menu portion. The meat was slightly dry and there just wasn't enough to the dish to make it of much interest. It needed the side of potatoes with Montgomery cheddar (£5) just to fill the dish out, but even they lacked any love. The boiled new potatoes were under-seasoned and had not been cooked with the cheese, so none of its flavour had seeped through into them. Miso-grilled deer with aubergine and yoghurt (£26) was cooked well but again it was criminally seasoned meaning the meat couldn't shine. Perhaps chefs here must be allergic to salt. A side salad of baby gems with radishes and buttermilk (£5), was crunchy but nothing else.
Dessert was an interesting combination of apple with rosemary ice and vanilla ice cream, again presented in a distinctive modern way that didn't immediately draw you in. The flavours were a perfect marriage and it was a refreshing finish to the meal, but an added texture or maybe just chunks of apple would have made it feel a little more substantial. Like the rest of the dishes it felt like more of an essence of something, or an idea for a dish, rather than something complete in itself.
I really wanted to love this restaurant- it's trying to do things differently and it was refreshing to see a slim, focused menu. But having a menu this minimalist was a bold statement that didn't quite come off. It's confident cooking with obvious flair, but less focus on the look and idea of the dishes and a little more attention to depth of flavour (or just salt) and things would have been a lot better. At £65 a head I had expected more. It was all texture and colours, without a soul.

One regular feature of the blog is a reading journal. As I read a musical book, I'll journal about various thoughts that pop into my head as the book comes along. I'll invite you to follow along, and even have a discussion in the comments section – treat it like a sort of virtual book club. Or just take the individual observations at face value. I am currently covering John Eliot Gardiner's Book, Bach: Music in the Castle of Heaven
One of the big questions about the Historically Informed Movement, which John Eliot Gardiner is credited with driving, is, simpl, why? The music of J.S. Bach was plenty popular before Mr. Gardiner came along, was it really in need of a savior? Mr. Gardiner explains his reasoning…
… [my] Monteverdi Choir started life as an anti-choir – in reaction to the well-mannered euphony and blend which characterised the celebrated chapel choir at King's in my day, whose mantra was 'Never louder than lovely'. Their style was summed up for me by a performance, at Boris Ord's memorial service, of Jesu, meine Freude – that most extended and interpretatively challenging of Bach's motets – sung in English with effete and lip-wiping prissiness: 'Jesu . . .' (pronounced Jeez-ewe), followed by a huge comma and expressive intake of breath, '. . . priceless treasure' (pronounced trez-ewer). I seethed. How had the wonderfully exultant music that I had known since I was a child come to be treated in such a precious, etiolated way? Was this not like adding a layer of face powder and a few beauty spots to [Bach's] portrait?
Mr. Gardiner continues later on, citing an inspiring performance given by Karl Richter.
… but even his muscular LP recordings of cantatas hadn't prepared me for the oppressive volume and sheer aggresion of the motet Singet dem herrn as delivered by seventy lusty Bavarians from the gallery of the Markuskirche… Here, as in most of the live performances or recordings that I had access to, Bach came over as grim, sombre, po-faced, lacking in spirit, humour and humanity. Where was the festive joy and zest of this dance-impregnated music?
OK, so Mr. Gardiner has identified for us the problems associated with the traditional way of performing Bach with large ensembles. Such groups tend to play baroque music overly heavy, and too dramatized. They don't emphasize the dance enough. Hence, his decision to perform with scaled down, specially trained groups. But why go with period instruments? It certainly wasn't an easy decision. Mr. Gardiner relays to us stories about the professional community largely looking at his experiment as a curiosity, and the old equipment also did him no favors. Imagine going from mowing your lawn with a gas powered mower, to using one of those old mowers without a big housing, and you get the picture.
Still, Mr. Gardiner saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
… the English Baroque Soloists provided a living laboratory in which to test new theories, to exchange views and approaches, and were now showing a willingness to strike out on new paths away from what were becoming the sapping orthodoxies of period-instrument style. Suddenly you could hear the music leap from the confines of its encasement. The moment these old instruments were let loose on music that had once been the exclusive preserve of the scaled-down modern symphony orchestra, what for years had seemed 'ye old' and remote now sounded new-minted.
How refreshing to hear one of the most respected musicians of our time to talk of taking risks, and experimentation. Sometimes it feels as though professional musicians are reluctant to do anything that might scare off their audiences, and who can blame them? Each performance might be the first (and only) of a new patron. Do something that's to strange, or doesn't work, and you risk scaring that patron off forever. Even worse – some music critics sharpen their teeth at the sound of an orchestra trying something new. In a world where one performance can make or break an ensemble's reputation, the industry can grow stale, and risk-averse. What a great reminder from an established musician that sometimes reputations are forged in the fire.

Can travel change our minds, bodies?
PEOPLE often talk about the positive effects of regular travel and the transformative experiences they have along the way.
It leaves them feeling better inside and out, something that can last long after their tan has faded. But is it all in the head or can frequent travel have a powerful enough effect to cause tangible changes in our minds and bodies?
Insight from a growing number of sources suggests it does.
Psychologist Adam Galinsky is one expert to explore the connection.
In a recent interview for Contiki's online travel community, Six-Two, he explained that when it comes to travel experiences it is the depth (how immersive they are) and breadth (how varied) that has the greatest impact. So much so, that it could bring about cognitive changes, altering the way we think.
Galinsky said travel alters how we "approach the world", making our minds more open and flexible.
"Openness allows us to digest and take in new information without rejecting it or being defensive and flexibility allows us to break out of entrenched habits of thinking."
But that's not all.
Galinsky says other studies have found travel experiences can even prompt a shift in personality traits, increasing extroversion and decreasing neuroticism.
Contiki's own independent research also supports this. In a survey conducted on over 2900 travelers aged between 18 and 35 from six different countries, 75 percent reported feeling more confident because of travel.
So what triggers these cognitive changes?
Galinsky believes it is a combination of engaging with and reflecting on experiences and different "world views" and then consciously integrating them into our thought process.
Elsewhere other research has discovered a link between regular travel and improved heart health in later life.
According to insights from the Global Coalition on Aging, "as one travels, one will be healthier".
It reports that men and women who take frequent vacations throughout their lives are at lower risk of developing heart disease or suffering a coronary death, compared to those that skip annual leave or holiday infrequently (every six years or fewer).
Survey data suggests this is because many people (60 percent of those questioned) were more physically active on vacation than at home and that travel improved their commitment to health goals.
However, travel may cause negative changes, too.
The effect of frequent flying on the body is currently under research with experts warning that in certain circumstances, passengers could risk greater exposure to cosmic radiation.
According to an article on the BBC's website, cosmic radiation is ionizing which in a high enough dose, could cause chemical changes in the body which can increase the risk of cancer and genetic abnormalities.
While flying, the dose we receive varies depending on altitude, latitude, and space weather. A flight during a solar storm, for instance, could deliver a far higher dose than average.
Solar storms aside, the article states that typical exposure during plane travel ranges from around 2.0 millirems to 4.8 millirems. To put this in perspective, a chest X-ray exposes us to between 2.0 and 10.0 millirems of ionizing radiation. And during a year, the average person is exposed to 350 millirems, only 9 percent of which results from cosmic radiation.
It comes as little surprise then that some sources question whether frequent flyers could really be at any significant risk of developing adverse bodily changes.
For those of us that are concerned though, apps such as Track Your Dose make monitoring the situation easy so we may make informed travel decisions.

We're off this weekend for a short business trip to Miami. It's exciting times of growth and expansion for our company, Phox Charge. Jason and I have been working on it pretty much since we started dating. To get technical we weren't even dating when we had our first few 'business meetings.' The past four years have provided me with some pretty unique opportunities to learn and develop many important skills needed to succeed in both business and life. It hasn't always been easy. In fact, most of it hasn't been easy. Almost none of it.
That is the raw and honest truth.
I'd be doing anyone who reads this post or my blog a huge disservice by attempting to paint it as a rainbow-filled joy ride. Working with your significant other is just that: WORK.
Now am I saying it isn't rewarding, near impossible and no one else should attempt it? No, I'm not saying that either, in fact, we're proof it is entirely possible. (If you find the right person of course).
Starting a business with your boyfriend can be one of the biggest tests you could put your relationship through. Have we passed with flying colors? Only time will tell, but so far we're making it work both personally and professionally. How? I'm going to share some of the most important things I've learned about starting a business with your boyfriend/husband/fiancé. Before I even begin on the essential skills needed to dive into business with your boo, it's important to note that every working relationship also deserve these things. My philosophy is that a relationship is a relationship no matter personal, professional etc. But if you can work on and master these skills you'll be much happier…I promise.
This has taken us years of practice. We've both had to conscious work on becoming more open communicators. You can't be closed off or quiet because that only adds fuel to a fire. Becoming an effective communicator takes time, patience and practice, but it will pay off 10 fold if you can master proper communication in business.
2. Listening
This relates to proper communication. With my Adhd and anxiety, this has been one of the most difficult things for me to learn and put into practice. So many of our fights stemmed from my lack of focus during important conversations. Not because I wasn't interested, but because I simply wasn't listening.
3. Compromise
Oh compromise. The art of compromise is incredibly tricky. When do you hold your ground and stick to your guns? I think the most important thing to remember about compromise it is not intended to be an all or nothing game. Always look for a win-win. If there isn't an entirely equal win-win, try to come to the most fair solution. 99.9% of the time there is one. The worst thing you can do is bully your partner or trick them into doing it your way. It will backfire. And remember, just because you think you're right or you're way is the only way…that probably isn't true.
4. Respect
We made the mistake early on of listening too much to our advisors and investors bad advice. They pressured us into defining roles, setting to many boundaries and essentially pitted us against each other instead of inspiring us to work as a team. This caused resentment and bad attitudes. Both of which can cause less than pleasant interactions to occur. Respect must be mutual and consistent, always.
For a few years we only knew one speed and emotion. Fast and stressed. With time and experience we've learned that those two things only lead to tears, anger and burnout. We were so 100% consumed with Phox for a while that it took it's toll. Our lives were completely out which did nothing for our relationship, livelihood or business. Take a step back, find a work/life balance that makes you happy and roll with it until it's time to readjust.
6. Personal Space/Time
We are best friends and do essentially everything together. Since we've started dating and working together I can only thing of a handful of times we've spent more than a few days apart from each other. (I think 3 has been the longest) He has his golf days, I have my creative days with the girls. Our situation is also unique because for a long. This can be a touchy subject for some people, but by clearing starting your personal time/needs can be tremendously helpful in a working relationship.
Fucking expectations. They are the root of all disappointment. Want to be happier in your personal and professional relationships? Stop expecting things. I know I'm being blunt, but it's the honest truth. I'm still working on it. Your life is not a movie and you can only write your half of the script.
Periodically J and I will sit down with a blank piece of paper and just start spitting out goals. By having these check-ins we're able to make sure we're both working towards the same things. Nothing worse than chasing your tail. We set a few attainable, measurable business goals and have our own personal goals as well as goals for our relationship. We also have an on-going personal bucket list that helps us keep our eyes on the bigger picture.
9. Responsibility
Being responsible is like the first box on the 'I'm an adult' checklist. Real life and business brings real responsibilities. Be willing to equally share responsibilities and also be able to take responsibility for when mistakes are made. A simple 'I'm sorry' (if it's sincere) can go a long way.
10. Trust and Forgiveness
The backbone of any relationship. We're working on this one. The sucky thing about trust is that it takes years to build but seconds to break. But to counter this, forgiveness can show the true strength of a person. NO one is perfect. Perfection is boring. Often the most amazing things come from moments of hardship and tests of strength.
So far we're doing ok, we've had amazing moments of success, happiness and triumph in our work/personal relationship. We're both committed to growing as people and helping each other become a better partner. At the end of the day, we simply do our best and take joy in the journey. If you are thinking about starting a business with your boyfriend /husband/ or fiancé I wish you all the luck!

1960 Irish Heinkel.
Car as it was found. More or less complete, but lots of bondo and old repairs that will need to be corrected
1960 Heinkel.
Stripping it down
As it arrived.
Old Door Repair
Hit hard in the front at one time. Lots of repair (and bondo) in the door, new floor section, and badly bent front frame.
Front Floor
Original floor replaced with boiler plate and angle iron. Almost bomb proof, but it weighed a ton.
Rusty rockers
Original rockers sandwiched between new metal inside and out. 3 layers total.
At the bead blasters
The door has been hammered and braised several times.
Damage to Front
Non-original floor, large pieces of angle iron at the wheel wells, and damage to the frame.
Damage to the frame had been "fixed" with bondo. Not visible before stripping.

HVAC Wireless Controller
Price: 88.00
add to cart
The HVAC wireless control system is a safe reliable means of controlling a centralized heating & air-conditioning system. It eliminates the need for control wire between the Heat Pump/Straight Cooling outdoor unit and the Gas Furnace/Blower unit (often installed in the Attic in residential applications). A high point of failure in A/C unit replacements is the interconnection wire itself. While the old wired approach is difficult, expensive, and labor intensive--with wire intricately snaked between the attic unit and the outdoor units, the HVAC wireless represents the best alternative. The HVAC wireless system consists of an indoor and an outdoor module pair which connects into the system where the 24V thermostat wire would normally be connected.

Denizen of the Dark
Street lights drill holes
through your dress,
as commuters on night buses peep
to catch an eyeful of exposed skin,
then pass on with indifference.
An acquired sense of shame
keeps you in dark by-lanes
from where you watch
the world goes by.
Those who solicit your favors
amid the stench of piss
and pheromones,
abandon you before daybreak.
Society stamps you prostitute,
researchers label you contagion,
cops call you a criminal,
but you are destitute and miserable.
Nobody knows your sorrow
none hears your yell for normalcy;
from pillar to post you run like a mad woman,
fatherless children at your breast.
The prophet who spoke of the first stone
may not be there in the crowd
meanwhile you swallow the insult
and entice another client with a smile!
Krishna's Supper
For the last handful of rice
Krishna searched in the plantain leaf
That lay dead
As the amputated yellow tongue of hunger.
The oil lamp in front
Shone as his insufficient knowledge
And his huge shadow swayed on the muddy wall
As the spirit of someone passed away by starvation.
There on the leaf appeared scenes
Of the Dark Continent
Though he was ignorant of the country and its people.
Skeletons attired in wrinkled skin
And mothers with dried up breasts and scaly teats
-The exodus,
The result of wars in which kings always win
And subjects lose on either side.
His hands trembled
And the ball of rice fell down.
By a wind.
The lamp blew out
And he sighed in comfort.
True Meditation
'I'm pleased, open your eyes
It's time to stop!'
"Blessed is my spirit
Hearing Your blissful tone
Though I can't see You."'
'You can't, nor is it necessary
I speak only through conscience
Now go and work hard!'
"Work? No! Let me continue.
Nothing more delightful than this act
No sorrow or happiness but peace
In this extreme silence.
Like those snowy peaks far away
I'd like to stay unchanged."
'Look at the paddy fields and farmlands down!
The farmers and the blue collars
Are in better meditation than what you were in.
I'm happier with the fragrance of their sweat
Than these incense suffocating.
They hear My voice everyday from nature
Though you took fourteen years.
It's for despair and hope
Pain and pleasure that men are born
Not for turning to statues unemotional.
Go, work devotedly
That's the greatest meditation!
Have a family so that I can live through you
And your descendants:
Waste no time chanting hollow words!'
An Old Peasant's Soliloquy
The paddy fields of my memory are parched
After the harvest of sorrows
And the parrots of oblivion had gathered
The grains of dreams scattered here and there
And flew far away.
Though the sheaves of my remaining days
Are piled up for threshing
In the courtyard of solitude,
My dear, when you peck my mind
With the sharp sickle-tip
I draw mysterious pictures
By the blood oozing out
From the quivering feet of wandering thoughts
Along the arid land of life.
I saw September, like an old woman,
Mornings afflicted with misty cataract
And evenings wrinkled and wearied,
Carrying overload of hay
Heading towards the barn.
She paused at times,
Stared at me, trying in vain to recognize,
Muttered something in the breeze
And strolled away.
O my dear,
We had threshed together lots
Until the last grain falls
When by midnight the flickering flame
Of lantern begs to close its eye a while.
Even when the incessantly lashing Monsoon
Soaked all our hope
We waited patiently to dry up everything
On a glorious morning of comfort and leisure.
Before the curtain falls
You abruptly wound up your role
And our children in their own stages
Also left me alone.
Still, why do you pierce my mind
With the sharp sickle-tip?
Flames of no Masks
We watched the old man on the other bank
Ritualistically washing Pema Khendup's body
While the pyre was getting ready.
Students were busy piling up dry logs
In the form of a pyramid
Cut off its peak, as to serve the purpose.
The crematorium was at the narrow bank
Of a clear brook between two cliffs
In Khoma, a remote village in North-East Bhutan.
Seven teachers, principal,
And I, the only expatriate
Were resting on small rocks by the brook.
Four monks and their head priest at the pyre
Were incessantly chanting magic hymns.
I occasionally dipped my bare feet
In the icy brook that accepts the souls
From every crematorium in its bank
All along its way down to India.
The local wine our cooks served frequently
Warmed us against the chilling December.
Sometimes we shared cruel jokes
And shouted like empty pots
While our shadows shivered on the ripples.
The half-naked old man completed his task
And placed the body in a jute sac,
Lifted up, and carried on his back.
He slowly came along the narrow bridge,
The isthmus of life and death.
His dreams, mixed with drops of water and tears
Were falling on the bridge
While the wooden planks groaned.
It was last night, vomiting blood,
Pema Khendup, his only son, expired.
Rumor was that it was by black magic
Of some jealousy neighbors!
He was a bright middle secondary student
In my biology classes, the only thing I was sure,
But we were there to watch him burning down!
The monks urged to hurry up and finish
Before the terrible nightfall
At the haunted place.
The old man carefully placed the body
In a squatting position on the pyre
And kept the logs slantingly, covering it.
As the pyre was lighted up
We all stood up showing grave face.
A few boulders fell down from the hills around.
The dancing flames kissing Pema Khendup's face
Had no masks but I wonder,
Even now, why most of us had!

As the number of girls suffering horrible health effects after receiving the Gardasil shot for HPV (human papilloma virus) continues to increase, skepticism about the safety of this new vaccine continues to grow, as well. In fact, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) announced their decision to launch an investigation on the controversial vaccine back in 2015.A documentary that aired in Denmark — which exposed the potential dangers of Gardasil and showcased the wave of detrimental health effects following the vaccine — is what prompted European officials to study the vaccine further. At least 100 Danish girls have filed for compensation with the government for vaccine injuries, and at least 800 more women in Denmark alone have experienced deleterious effects but haven't yet filed for compensation.

9 weeks pregnant: your baby
In the ninth week of pregnancy your baby is about the size of a green olive, but he certainly doesn't look like one. In fact, your baby looks a little more human than before and a lot less like the frog spawn he has resembled since week 5, but your baby still has a long way to go before birth.
Did you know…your baby's pancreas may already start creating insulin this week which means by week 12 insulin will be present in his blood?
Do you remember those eyelids which began to take shape in week 6? Well this week they almost completely cover your baby's eyes, which now have pupils. But that's not all that has been happening this week. Your baby's neck and ears are developing and will soon be fully formed and his muscles are getting a bit stronger. In no time at all you'll be able to feel your baby kicking!
What's happening to your body this week?

Johnny Ellington told a Palm Beach County jury Thursday that he killed his wife in self-defense during a struggle over his gun in a Belle Glade cane field.
Ellington, 47, who is accused of first-degree murder, testified that his wife, Gloria, threatened to kill him when he accused her Jan. 16 of giving money to her lover. She grabbed a .38-caliber pistol that he had given her for protection, Ellington said, and he fought to keep her from using it.
The gun went off twice, maybe three times, as they wrestled, Ellington said. He fled in panic, throwing the gun into a field 150 feet away.
``I knew she`d been shot,`` he said. ``But I didn`t think she was dead.``
Prosecutors scoffed at this explanation. They reminded jurors of earlier testimony that four bullets entered Gloria Ellington`s body -- two at angles that cannot be explained by the face-to-face struggle her husband described.
``It`s ridiculous,`` prosecutor Robert Shepherd said. ``It`s ludicrous.``
Shepherd also argued that Ellington lied about giving his wife the gun, that he had it with him when he confronted Gloria that evening.
How else to explain the handful of .38-caliber bullets in his pocket when police picked him up, Shepherd asked.
Ellington denied that he had told another jail inmate where to find the gun, and further denied even talking to the man.
Why then, Shepherd asked, was the man able to lead police directly to the gun?
``A fish only gets caught when he opens his mouth,`` Shepherd said. ``That`s what this man did.``
Defense attorney Doug Duncan tried to bolster the self-defense theory by calling Gloria Ellington`s first two husbands as witnesses.
Gloria`s first husband, Homer Mack, said she apparently fired two shots at him from behind after they discussed their impending divorce. Mack said he never saw the gun, but pointed out that no one else was around when he turned to see where the shots came from.

12 Movies That Have Broken World Records
Which slasher film has the highest body count? Which movie has the most swear words? Which movie was the most expensive to make? Which movie has made the most money in return? Hollywood is known for taking things to extremes in any and every way that it can. From the day the script is written until it' released into theaters, some movies manage to not only ramp up the excess, they actually manage to break world records in the process. Check out these 12 movies that have broken world records.
12. Highest Body Count in a Slasher Film
Think of the creepiest, scariest, goriest, deadliest horror movie you've ever seen. Got that in mind? Now multiply the body count a few times and you'll be in the range of the movie that holds the world record for the Highest Body Count in a Slasher Film. Coming in at a murderous 155, the aptly named, The Summer of Massacre was directed by Joe Castro and first came out in 2011 and is in fact an anthology of deadly stories which includes "eight killers in five gory tales." Plenty of opportunities to ramp up that body count.
11. Most Swearing in One Film
Do you have a dirty mouth? Talk like a sailor, as they say? Have you ever been really ticked off and just let a wild rant of expletives fly? If so, you may want to check out the movie Swearnet. The 2014 film directed by Warren Sonoda is all about curse words, swear words, cussing, expletives, or whatever the *BLEEP* you want to call them. In fact, it holds the record for the Most Swearing in One Film at a *BLEEP*ing wild 868. "Fed up with being censored in their post-Trailer Park Boys lives, the out of work stars/world-renowned 'swearists', Mike Smith, Robb Wells and John Paul Tremblay decide to start their own uncensored network on the internet."

Sales for Sony's PS3 keep pace in the latest retail sales data from Japan. The latest PS3 ranked as #4 best selling video game hardware for the week.
Sony this week released the 80GB PS3 to U.S. retailers. Additionally it said that the 60GB version sales have increased more than 100% at the company's top five retailers.
Read on...
And of course maybe they should change the name of the XBox 360 to Breaksdown alot!.
PS3:Amazon.com Sales Rank: #5 in Video Games
xbox360:Amazon.com Sales Rank: #9 in Video Games
After a frankly disappointing first few months for Sony, success like this should be good news for them. Lets see what the Christmas season will bare for the PS3. Microsoft are doing well with the price cut, but, as ever, are doing poorly in Japan. All round though, it's been a good week for both companies.
