Region 8 Police have released a sketch of a male suspect wanted for detonating a bomb in Patong on Friday morning, which left one motorbike taxi driver injured.
The sketch was released earlier today (August 13) and follows Phuket Governor Chamroen Thipayapongthada and Kathu District Chief Sayan Chanachaiwong paying a visit to Phuket's sole bomb victim at his house this morning in Patong.
Somboon Kaikaew, 41, a Patong motorcycle taxi driver, suffered an injury to his right arm on Friday morning, when an explosion occurred at the traffic signal control box near the junction of Bangla Road and the beach road in Phuket's premier tourist town.
Up until this point, speculation has been rife as few details about investigation progress have been released to the public.
In a statement issued to the press this afternoon, Gov Chamroen gave his assurances that authorities are working tirelessly to track down the culprit or culprits behind the attack in Phuket.
The statement reads: "Phuket belongs to everyone, every nationality, every religion… A world destination, we need to preserve Phuket to be a safety zone for the happiness of everyone, to be a destination of peace where everyone can travel, and return [home] having experienced nature or acquired goods… this or that, but we mustn't be complacent with what's happened, and employ measures for the private and public sectors to help serve as the eyes and ears. We will ensure that CCTV surveillance coverage is maintained in precarious areas, and fix where needed. In addition, we will ramp up security forces in populated areas."

I have been a resident of the Borough of Macungie for nearly five years. During that time, I have had approximately 10 direct contacts with borough police officers regarding various matters in my neighborhood. In each instance, I found the police to be efficient, courteous, respectful and very professional. We are especially grateful for Officer Todd Bernhard, who helped us organize a block watch group and who keeps us regularly informed of safety concerns in the borough.
Macungie Mayor Rick Hoffman certainly does not represent me or most of my neighbors in his opinion of the Macungie police as ''aggressive,'' ''rude'' and ''intimidating.'' In fact, according to reports of last November's election, fewer than 10 percent of the borough's residents voted for Mayor Hoffman. That is hardly a ''mandate from the people.''
It is time to stop his ridiculous dispute with Chief Harry so the police can continue their excellent service to the community without unnecessary distractions.
-- Glenn Asquith, Macungie

I have been working on my photo's in photoshop today. This requires that I take a look at a bunch of older family photos. I have done two collage's of our family weddings.
These weddings range from 1998 when Nate and I got married to last May when Nate's youngest sister Carrie got married. That is 11 years and 11 weddings throughout both families.
Nate's side of the family, siblings, and cousins on their wedding day.
All but one of these weddings we were able to attend.
My side of the family, siblings weddings. The kids and I were at all of these weddings. Still waiting on the cousins to start getting married.
I have been thinking about marriage and wedding today. Whether you are in your teen's, twenty's, or thirties when you get married, you are still young and oblivious to the world around you. Then as the years go by you realize how little you knew back then and how much more you will know and understand in the years to come. Getting married is about a commitment to the other person, till death do us part......so many people now have forgotten that part of the vows. They think it is okay to up and leave, cheat on each other, lie to each other, not communicate with each other, be best friends with other people of the opposite sex, and give up way to easily on the marriage and commitment that they made to each other and to God.
I am so grateful for the love and commitment that Nate and I have to each other, God and our marriage.
~ Here are the top 5 Things that I think are important
for a marriage to survive ~
1. God, He has to be #1 in your life, then #1 in your marriage. By placing God in the center of your marriage then He will help you stay faithful and true to Him and your marriage.
2. Communication ~ This is key, by communicating to each other everything and all your feelings then there is less misunderstandings and less fighting. Guys and Girls are not made the same way and thus do not think and communicate in the same way. Don't beat around the bush when you have something to say. Just say it and mean it. If you don't meant it then don't say it.
3. Honesty ~ Be completely honest and don't lie. By being honest, don't ask your spouse a question you don't want the honest answer to.
4. Be Flexible ~ Things are not always all about you, so you have to be flexible.
5. Spend Time Together ~ I know this sounds like a funny or weird suggestion to all the newlyweds who can't imagine not going to the grocery store and checking the mail without their spouse. But as time go's on and your family grows, it is harder to find time to be together just the two of you. It is great to have time together when life is not pulling you both in 10 different directions.
Calling all married people....Am I right? Did I list one of your top 5? Or do you think there are others that should be listed? Let me know your thoughts on marriage and the life after.

At a time when many magazines are struggling, one is creating a buzz with its pipeline to trend-setting young women.
Its average reader is a health-conscious 29-year-old with at least one credit card and a household income of $46,000. When it comes to beauty and fashion, she spends more than your average American woman.
And she happens to be Latina.
New York-based Latina magazine, which unveiled its tagline "the new mainstream" last year, is getting its message across like never before. This month's issue boasts 80 ad pages, up from 40 last May. The total for 1999: 600 ad pages, expected to top 800 this year.
Ad Week recently named the bilingual publication No. 3 in its "10 under 40" list of America's hottest magazines targeting young adults, calling it a "hot prospect for media buyers." And Advertising Age named it one of the nation's five best magazines.

For the last few days my co-worker Kevin and I have been freezing our asses off through our little job at the Keystone Station out here in Pennsylvania. It's cold. We had a high of about 35 today, and it was humid and breezy. That makes for a damn chilly way to spend a day, and it's not slated to get much better. Our hotel is horrendous. No fridge, no microwave, no hair conditioner (seriously, I'm dropping 90 bucks a night and they can't give me a 25-cent bottle of conditioner) and both Kevin and I have gotten more than a couple of mystery bug bites we attribute to bedbugs. Not to mention the town our horrendous hotel is in is one of the most nondescript, vanilla, hillbilly-infested places I've been in a while.
But all that said, we're in America. So far this job is going swimmingly. I realize I just jinxed the crap out of myself, but it's a been a breath of fresh air after working 39 out of 40 days between my last two trips to Germany.
First and foremost, this plant was infinitely better prepared for our arrival than the last plant. Second and foremoster, people at this plant speak English. God, it's awesome. There have been a few problems; there always are, but when everyone is speaking the same language (pun intended) it makes everything so much easier to deal with. I can point to something and be like "we need a barb on that ball valve for our air lines," rather than attempting to mime that incredibly un-mimeable sentence. Not to mention we can chat with the electricians. We're working with Tom, Mike, Dave and Gary. Tom's anniversary is Saturday. Mike loves to hunt. They're all Steeler fans. See that? I've had like, conversations with these dudes. It's awesome.
Also, the work's going well, probably because we can actually explain to said electricians what we're after. And the plant dudes could read our drawings. And the units are all in good ol' American inches and feet. No need for the converter on my phone this trip.
It's astonishing how much easier it's been, and how much more fun I'm having. Well, that's overstating it a bit, but I'm not not having fun this trip. I'm sure a lot of this has to do with the after-work festivities as well. And by that I do mean walking across the street to the Ruby Tuesday's for dinner and a few cocktails (this is our fourth night in a row), watching Sportscenter and writing for the blog. It's delightful.
Hopefully it keeps up, and we stay warm. A little better than a week to go. I'll let you know how it goes.
-B. Littleton

A new play written by my Aunt Linda starts tonight. Can't wait to see it. Break a leg!
The Whitefire Theatre and Artists Unlimited present MUSTANG SALLY
a controversial new play by Linda Felton Steinbaum
"She ventured into forbidden territory... her family tries to pick up the pieces."
Come see the World Premiere of Linda Felton Steinbaum's new play, MUSTANG SALLY, which delves into a topic that is bound to stir up debate.
How does a family deal with the repercussions of an "inappropriate" relationship?
Does society have a double standard when it comes to prosecuting sex offenders who happen to be female?
Playwright Linda Felton Steinbaum has always been drawn to writing about contemporary social issues that she finds confusing or that make her angry. The increasing number of reports about female teachers having relationships with under-aged students prompted her to write MUSTANG SALLY, a 2-act character-driven drama that retains her trademark sense of humor and surprising twists and turns.
"Traditionally, a major function of the theatre has been as a forum for the airing of hot topics in order for its audience to debate their merits out loud.... Hopefully this play will help to trigger a passionate, reasoned and valuable debate concerning a topic we are increasingly seeing in the headlines." says director Arturo Castillo.
six weeks (Oct 13 - Nov 18)
Fridays & Saturdays 8:00 p.m. and Sundays 2:30 p.m.

UFC: Couture expected to announce comeback this week
From Tuesday's Wrestling Observer update: Randy Couture will be announcing on Thursday night's "Inside the UFC" that he is coming out of retirement. It wouldn't shock me if they also announced Tim Sylvia vs. Couture as the main event for the 3/3 PPV in Columbus, OH. The second sentence is nothing anyone has told me directly, but based on a number of things said to me be a few different people in the last few days. Most notable regarding that is the current plan is for Couture to fight at heavyweight for his comeback. I think that's a bad idea. Another indication it may be Sylvia is just the timing of this announcement.

Mexico and its exchange traded fund (ETF) are feeling down in the dumps, but its outpacing some other regions.
The iShares Mexico Fund (EWW) has fared better than Europe, Russia, Asia, Canada, Australia and Brazil to name a few, so what gives? It could be that although growth is slow, it is steady and consistent. Another reason some big dips might have been avoided is that Mexico has kept its interest rates high enough to do battle with inflation.
Gary Gordon for ETF Expert reports that until recently, the hot money was pouring into Rio, but the commodities selloff and fear of global recession has left the country of Brazil high and dry. iShares MSCI Brazil (EWZ) has taken a hit in the last month, down 8.2%.
Relative to that, Mexico has been strong, down 2.2% in that time period. The fund has been helped along byu companies such as Cemex, a worldwide manufacturer of building materials, and America Movil, Latin America's largest wireless provider.
The peso is having a nice ride, too: the CurrencyShares Peso (FXM) is above its long-term trendline. FXM is up 8% for 2008, defying the U.S. dollar and taking tourists by surprise that Mexican stuff isn't so cheap anymore.

CAIRO: "The beginning of the end of Egypt's new President-elect Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will start if he pardons the Egyptian youth who were arrested under the protest law," said lawyer Mortada Mansour Tuesday evening in Tuesday phone interview on Al Qahera Alyoum channel.
Mansour added that he would be the first to fight against Sisi in case he pardoned "youth who were arrested for defying the protest law."
"Those [arrested youth] have been sabotaging the country since 2008, and you should take care of street children instead of them," Mortada stressed. He added that "if Sisi takes care of the youth detained for breaking law, fearing from the old scarecrow of the U.S. and Britain, I am sorry this is the beginning of your end."
The 2008 Egyptian general strike launched in Mahalla on 6 April 2008 against price rises, corruption and in solidarity with Mahalla workers, helped spark the 2011 Revolution which ousted former president Hosni Mubarak.
Leftist politican Hamdeen Sabbahi on April 6 vowed to release thousands of "political detainees" as well as to abolish the protest law if he were elected.
Sisi, however, did not mention anything regarding the protest law or the release of the political detainees.
The High Presidential Elections Committee (HPEC) announced Tuesday evening that Abdel Fatah al-Sisi would be Egypt's second president since the January 25 Revolution, winning 23,780,104 votes compared to 757,511 garnered by Hamdeen Sabbahi.
Mansour who is head of Zamalek Sporting Club, officially announced his bid for the presidency on April 6, adding in a statement aired on state television that his platform "is aimed at restoring Egypt's prestige and position among nations." However, he announced on April 1 9 that he will withdraw from the presidential race.
Mansour is a lawyer who was elected president of the Zamalek football club on March 29. He was one of 25 defendants accused of hiring armed persons to attack protesters in Tahrir Square in what became known as the Battle of the Camels on Feb. 2, 2011.

I really just had to read this today. I just had this nagging - read it - feeling that made me grab up the novel. Then, I had a better idea and went on the library website and downloaded a free audio of the book. I went through some of my boxes in the office while listening to this awesome Christmas tale that keeps getting remade.
I really want to see the animated version of the tale that is coming out this season. I was, however, surprised by the shortness of the novel - compared to Dickens' other works. Definitely a great story and most of the movie versions are so incredibly true to the actual novel.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
14 comments:
I watched Christmas Carol in 3D a few days ago, it was awesome!!! I'm curious to see whether it follows the book closely. It was kind of confusing because I never read it before. I'll pick it up on my next library visit! ^^ReplyDelete
My students just read a play version of this story. Then we compared it to a movie version. It was fun to get their take on it. We talked a lot about how it was written partly to encourage giving and helping of the poor.ReplyDelete
I love when they stick true to the originalReplyDelete
I just reviewed this one too. Wasn't it great? So much better than all the spin offs.ReplyDelete
I read this for the first time this year and loved it. For some reason I found myself liking Scrooge more in the book then I ever have in the movie adaptations.ReplyDelete

I read this for the first time this year and the new movie with Jim Carrey remains surprisingly true to the book.ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed the book, but I didn't care too much for the movie.
I read this book ages ago and it remains one of my favorites :D Loved the opening line!ReplyDelete
Awesome stuff. I had to read A Christmas Carol for school once. It was pretty good.ReplyDelete

For the past couple of days Hayden has been in and out of the bathroom looking in the mirror. He had his first loose top front tooth. There have been many tears as he has been twisting and turning that puppy. But, last night around 2am he hopped into our bedroom and declared that, "It's out!" This morning he has a late start for school because of the cold weather, so I grabbed some pics of him for today's blog:)
I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling great today:) The sun is out and it's beautiful! Brian and I were talking yesterday and we both are on the countdown to spring. Holla if you hear me;) Evie

Turquoise is an opaque, hydrated, blue-to-green copper aluminium phosphate mineral. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been enjoyed as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue. In recent times turquoise—like most other opaque gems—has had its popularity undermined by the introduction of treatments, imitations, and synthetics onto the market, some difficult to detect even by experts. The word "turquoise" is very old and of uncertain origin, derived from the French pierre turquoise, meaning "Turkish stone." This is thought to have arisen from a misconception: turquoise does not occur in Turkey but was traded there, and the gem became associated with the country in the West.

Bloggers - Reflect on Sexism
So, thinking about sexism makes me pretty sad. And not just because sexism is the terrible thing that it obviously is, but because people so often deny that it even exists today. I see that as a huge tragedy, and in fact, a huge blow to the anti-sexism movement, because it's a lot harder to stamp it out when it's more subtle. (By the way, when I say subtle, I do NOT mean smaller or of less importance, I mean that it's harder for a lot of people to identify.)

Your Voice
St. Paul, Minn. — The seven-story Rossmor building, built around the turn of the last century, was used to manufacture munitions during World War I. It later served as a work boot factory. Most recently it's housed a collection of artist studios.
In July, 2003, Richard Pakonen paid $5 million for the building, and is investing at least another $7 million to renovate it into more than 100 loft condominiums. The construction is part of a rebirth of housing in St. Paul's Lowertown and North Quadrant, that promises to bring thousands of new residents into downtown.
Pakonen didn't know until after he bought the property that it's across the street from a building that's become a magnet for the most dangerous sex offenders.
"We were a bit surprised about that," Pakonen said. "The knee-jerk reaction was to scream and yell. (Then I) took a deep breath and said, 'All right, what do we do about this?'"
Pakonen's discovery came while searching the St. Paul police Web site out of curiosity, after authorities arrested released sex offender Alphonso Rodriguez in the disappearance of Grand Forks college student Dru Sjodin.
Few others are aware so many sex offenders live so close to one another.
"There's ultimately going to be thousands of new housing units in this immediate area," Pakonen said. "The area is changing dramatically. It's changing fast. So what might have been tolerable in the past is not tolerable anymore."
Until recently the arrangement at the Lowelle apartments wasn't only tolerable, but preferable from the standpoint of probation officials.
It does help me feel a little bit better to know probation officers are in there as many as three or four times a week. That helps, but it doesn't help much.
Robert Hanson, the director of the Ramsey County Adult Courts Division, has approached hundreds of landlords, contacted halfway houses and shelters, and prodded charitable foundations for support. The Lowelle is one of the few places that would allow sex offenders in the door.
"Given all the options being faced -- what few options there are for the placement of sex offenders -- our experience was that it turned out pretty satisfactory," Hanson said.
Six Level 3 sex offenders currently reside at the Lowelle apartments. The number has been as high as nine in recent months. First one, then another and another, found their way to there. Their ages run from 23 to 50. Their crimes range from molesting boys and girls as young as three years old, to forcibly raping adult women.
For probation officers, the Lowelle turned out to be an effective way to supervise more than one offender at a time. They conduct random inspections and drug and alcohol tests three or four times a week. Often the tenants, who return to prison if they violate the strict rules of their supervision, keep an eye on one another.
"It lets you have a more in-depth contact," Hanson said. "We are very familiar of the settings, and the comings and goings of the building. And we are given information by the very people who are there that is helpful to us."
When offenders first started living there it was ideal because, the area was mostly commercial and industrial and it's one block from the police station. None of the sex offenders who have checked into the Lowelle has re-offended. But Hanson understands how it could now be a problem for neighbors.
"It was not a plan to have these men be here," he said. "It is something that we would like to see changed. We would like their help. We would like anyone's help in finding responsible alternatives."
For the men living there, the Lowell is likely the last stop before being turned out into the street, which makes them harder to monitor and treat.
"We are not interested in them going under bridges and being out in the community without any kind of residence at all," Hanson said. "That would concern us greatly, and I think should truly concern the public."
Across the country, officials are trying to find a balance between what's effective for released sex offenders and what neighborhoods will accept. An Arizona legislator proposes landlords who rent to three or more sex offenders post a $100,000 bond, payable if the tenant repeats an offense. In Spokane, Washington, a private landlord works closely with law enforcement and rents out rooms to some 50 sex offenders. It's becoming a model for other places like California and even Minneapolis.
John Hinchliff, the sexual offender notification coordinator with Minneapolis police, said officials there would like to find an arrangement similar to St. Paul's in a non-residential part of the city, to take pressure off of other residential neighborhoods where sex offenders tend to concentrate.
"Since housing has always been a problem to begin with, that might be an avenue we could look at," Hinchliff said. "It might work."
So far, Hinchliff hasn't found a willing landlord in the right location. And as officials in Ramsey County are learning, the right location isn't a solid bet.
Rod Halverson lives in the CityWalk condominiums a half block from the Lowelle. In the year-and-a-half he's lived there, he's aware of only two or three sex offender notification meetings. Like many in the area, it didn't occur to him none were moving out.
"Yes, it does help me feel a little bit better to know probation officers are in there as many as three or four times a week," Halverson said. "That helps, but it doesn't help much."
Halverson heads his condo's residents association. He doesn't understand why zoning laws can protect neighborhood residents from obtrusive store signs, but not from a buildup of sex offenders -- who corrections officials admit still carry the potential to do harm.
"Every part of the community should do their fair share in regard to housing people that have committed crimes and have completed their sentence," he said. "My feeling is that if there is a concentration of Level 3 sex offenders in one area, it is unfair to that one area."
Because of complaints from those like Halverson and the Rossmor's Pakonen, Ramsey County officials say they're no longer allowing new sex offenders at the Lowelle.
The Minnesota Legislature has tried but failed to pass bills limiting the number of sex offenders allowed in one location. One proposal would build sex offender housing on the grounds of the state hospital in St. Peter. Another would keep them behind bars for life.

Transfer Station
In 2012 the Department of Public Works (DPW) worked closely with its' consultant CMA Engineers Inc., the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), and with Northeast Earth Mechanics to complete the closure of the Town of Farmington's landfill in October 2012. Additionally, the town submitted an application for partial reimbursement of the landfill closure costs to the NHDES. The application for reimbursement was approved in December 2013 and the Town is receiving these funds on an annual basis.
In May 2012 the Town officially opened and began operating our new transfer station. A list of the materials that the transfer station is permitted by the NHDES to accept is posted on the Town's website, and is also located at the transfer station and Municipal Building. With the opening of the transfer station the Town discontinued sorting, bailing and marketing its recyclables to outside vendors and/or end-users, and began receiving and processing its recyclables utilizing the "single-stream" method which allows all recyclables (including all plastics) to be disposed of by the Town's residents into one compactor. Acceptable recyclables include plastic number 1 thru 7 narrow necked containers, tin, aluminum, glass containers, and paper materials including newspaper, magazines, mixed paper, junk mail, and cardboard. We encourage all residents to recycle. Recycling reduces your individual costs by reducing the number of Town trash decals you have to purchase and also saves the Town budget $46/ton in tipping fees. As of Jan. 1, 2017 the days of operation have been changed to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday from 8am to 4pm.
Thank you to all those who continue to use the Town's transfer station and who actively participate in the Town's recycling efforts. In 2016 the Town sent 518.03 tons of municipal solid waste to the Turnkey landfill for disposal along with 353.56 tons of bulky/demo wastes. Residents recycled 337.51 tons using single stream recycling with a recycling rate of 40% by weight. The residents also recycled 9138 pounds of electronics and 68.4 tons of scrap metal. We continue to encourage comments and/or suggestions that may assist us as we continue to fine tune the operations of our new transfer station in 2017. Our mission is to continue to better serve the residents of Farmington in a professional, courteous, timely, and efficient manner.

TULSA, Okla. – With the 17th-ranked University of Arkansas ahead 3-2 in the match, freshman Anouk Tigu aced No. 103 Monika Dancevic for a three-set victory, vaulting the Lady Razorbacks to a huge, 4-2, upset over No. 2 Georgia Thursday and into the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
"It's just spectacular to be in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history," said Arkansas head coach Michael Hegarty. "We have a truly great team and an incredible staff."
While the Lady'Backs (18-9) made school history by punching a ticket into the final eight teams, they also made NCAA Tournament history as the first women's team to upset a No. 2 seed since seeding in the tournament began in 1999.
Arkansas will hope to travel along the winning road again on Saturday at 4 p.m. against No. 7 UCLA.
Tigu's three-set victory, 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, over Dancevic was not only special to her teammates and coaches but to herself as well.
"I have lost so many close three-set matches this season and to finally win one against a great athlete like Monika [Dancevic] today was awesome," said Tigu. "It definitely ranks as one of the top matches of my tennis career, and to make history at Arkansas is a great feeling."
For the fifth-straight match, early momentum was obtained by Arkansas thanks to the doubles point. All three courts were intensely close, but hard play gained them the point. Audrey Bordeleu and Tigu shot down Adrienne Elsberry and Dancevic, 8-6, while Maryori Franco and Nanar Airapetian came through over Naokoa Ueshima and Cameron Ellis, 8-6, for the clincher.
Another freshman, Delia Damaschin, impressed on Thursday when she made quick work of Elsberry, 6-3, 6-2, rocketing the Lady'Backs a head 2-0 and opening the eyes of many on watchers.
Aurelija Miseviciute, the top-ranked singles player in women's NCAA tennis, illustrated leadership in her victory on Court 1 over No. 39 Y. Hyndman, 6-2, 7-6(1), for an overwhelming 3-0 lead. Her win not only extended the Arkansas lead, but also gave her the all-time school record with her 48th win of the season, passing Marcus Hilpert.
"Yvette [Hyndman] is a great competitor and I really expected a lot closer match against her today," said Miseviciute. "She came back in the second set, but I was able to buckle down and give us a three-point lead."
After falling in a quick hole, the Bulldogs (22-5) grabbed two points within minutes of each other to cut into the lead, 3-2. Ueshima overtook Franco, 7-5, 6-3, while Ellis toppled Airapetian, 7-6(5), 6-1. However, Arkansas was just too much in their third match this season against Georgia, as Tigu earned the fourth point for the clincher.
UCLA shutout No. 10 Southern California, 4-0, setting up their second match of the season against Arkansas on Saturday.
"They beat us 4-3 at the ITA Indoor Championships back in February, but we had chances to win," Hegarty said. "They are a well-balanced team and are incredibly coached."

The Magic Pill Mindset
There is a problem in today's world. A problem so serious that it is killing any chance people have of ever living the life that they want. Continue reading so that you can protect yourself and then leverage it.
This problem is the Magic Pill Mindset. You've more than likely heard about the Magic Pill Mindset in the form of instant gratification and other forms.
Before we get into exactly how to beat the Magic Pill Mindset let's look at where it came from.
Origins of The Magic Pill Mindset
The Magic Pill Mindset is rooted in human nature. We naturally want to live a life of comfort and ease.
The way you combat this by developing discipline. Discipline is one of the only things in this world that you truly have control over.
Nobody can take it from you and nobody can give it to you. It is something that you must follow through with.
But let's take a step back in time to the 1930's. In those days consumerism as we know it was still young.
A man by the name of Edward Bernays was building a name for himself. He was the guy that invented Public Relations.
Edward was quoted as saying, "There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes."
He viewed humans as irrational and acting on impulse. His books became the foundation on which businesses and governments molded the habits of society.
If you're interested in reading some of his work, I recommend you start with his book Propaganda. I've only browsed it and I was taken away.
His work is what the Marketing Gods of today use to keep you searching for your next easy fix. They've sold the world on some magic pill to fix all of their problems.
The Magic Pill Mindset of Weight Loss
When it comes to weight loss you are told that if you take a pill then you'll lose weight. What the company doesn't tell you is that it only works if you follow a diet and workout routine.
They don't tell you that you have to eat clean food, cut out soda, and feel hungry. Why would they? If they told you that you would actually have to work then you wouldn't buy their magic pill.
I myself believed this lie. In high school I wanted to lose weight so I started taking a fat burner. After a few months and over $100, I didn't notice much of a change.
It wasn't until I started reading into weight loss that I realized that fat burners are almost entirely a waste of money.
The only time that a fat burner will help you burn fat is if you're already lean. If you're fat then you're just wasting your money.
To lose weight you need to eat less than what you take in. You have to hit the gym and you have to eat clean.
Don't let the Marking Gods steal your money. Instead, keep your money and get the basics down first.
The Magic Pill Mindset of Success
Now let's talk about the magic pill when it comes to success. This is an area where they kill any chance of the average person ever tasting success.
You've been told about the overnight successes and laptop lifestyle. You get on Instagram and see these people living the life.
What you don't see however is that they are miserable. Behind the scenes they hardly make any money.
Heck, they don't even know how to make real money.
All of their money comes from selling people like yourself products like, "How to Make Money From Your Bed".
They take advantage of you. You come looking for answers but then they use your Magic Pill Mindset to sell you easy ways to make money.
I'm going to be brutally honest with you. Making money takes time. Yes, there are overnight success stories.
Some kid may create an app and sell it for millions. But those kinds of things don't usually happen.
There is a 9 out 10 chance that it won't happen for you. But luckily that isn't bad. Instead of hoping for your break, you can create it.
How do you create your own break?
You create it by putting in the work. It really is that simple.
I've learned that money and success is all about momentum. Stuff I did a year ago is starting to pay me today.
The same is true for success and whatever else that you want in life.
Instead of buying books about how to make easy money just put in the work. Don't dream up some grand scheme because you will end up overthinking.
Start out simple. What I did was start hustling on the side. You can start a side-hustle and before you know it start bringing in some extra cash.
From there the world is your oyster. You can quit your job or you can put away that money for a rainy day.
To get a list of side-hustle get on my newsletter. I'll send you two books that will get you started. You can go grab them here.
How to Destroy the Magic Pill Mindset Once and For All
To destroy the Magic Pill Mindset you have to start simple. You've been brought up since birth to want things easily.
In a way, you're going against human nature. But I am here to tell you that if you don't want to be average, you will have to go against human nature.
While average Joe buys's weight loss pills, you'll be dieting.
While average Joe fills himself with motivation, you'll be hustling.
At times you'll feel like an alien amongst humans. This is normal though. Just keep pushing and stay disciplined.
If you haven't done so already get on the early access list for my upcoming book. You will get Think and Go Hustle 3 days before everyone else. I'm also giving out a discount for those on the list.

Introducing a new post label/category!
I've been drinking wine on and off for the past 14 years or so (my first sip was at age 10) and early last year, I decided to make this a hobby. It hasn't been easy - nor cheap - but the education, information, and sheer enjoyment I've been getting from this is amazing.
|As of Nov/Dec 2011.
Here's to the amateur wine lover that is me! :) I hope to share whatever I know with all you fellow wine lovers out there!

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
See full transcript of Steve Job's commencement address delivered at Standford University on June 12, 2005
There's quite a bit going in my life right now, and I simply must stop looking at charts to focus on these more important matters.

Easy to work with, professional, always willing to help & competitive pricing.
Martin SlaterDistribution Manager, Packaging Manufacturer 29 April 2015
The personal attention (ie regular phone calls from Account Manager) just to see how things are going. Also the email notifications sent when a van has been assigned to the pick up as well as notification when the shipment has been delivered. Those are my top 2 things that make Cargo Express irreplaceable in my opinion.
Wayne CarterLogistics Supervisor, Wholesale & Distribution 03 April 2015
I have dealt with Cargo Express Delivery since 2012, during which time they have provided our company with excellent service in the areas of same day rush delivery, scheduled route services, and their driver for hire program. Their work has been a major factor in our sales success. Their staff and management have displayed a commitment to providing outstanding customer service. I confidently recommend Cargo Express as a solid and reliable company, and experts in their field.
Sue HansonOperations Manager, Electromechanical Systems 01 April 2015
Need same day delivery from Bolton to Bristol, the package didn't ready for pick up until noon and need to be there by 5pm. Plus, I didn't call to schedule the pick up until 10:30am.

What a Gorgeous Day
Sunday was a gorgeous day out, sunny, suppoed to hit 90, no idea if it did or not, but the humidity was low enough that it didn't matter, definitely not the temps for a run, but Sunday is normally my rest day anyway and with me still in recovery and 9.5 miles in on Saturday, I went ahead and rested. Which was good, because I'd been out late the night before, had a couple to drink but wasn't too bad, had pizza late at night, bad as my weight is climbing, but I'm back on track this week I'm promising myself, and I did sleep in…did a little cleaning (although my room is still awful!!) and then had a friend show up at my place about 12:15…we headed over to another friends around 1 to head out to Lake Minnetonka to meet up with yet another friend to spend the day on a boat…See back to the kind of day it was!! We all kept commenting on how beautiful it was, the sun was there, but there was a light breeze, just enough to keep it from being unbearable and we were on a 30 foot boat that had a bathroom and everything. Spent from 2 pm till about 9:30 pm on it, with a dinner break from 5-6 where we had to sit inside cause it was too busy outside…We had a drink at one of the outdoor bars, and just cruised around the lake, hung out at big Island for a while, anchored and hanging out where everyong goes to party in the summer...then headed in about 9:30...It was a perfect day out. Shawn and I were the "hood ornaments", Jeremy was captain drunk (OK, not really, he was responsible but I couldn't resist the picture of him at the wheel with the drink. Cordell acted as captain for a bit and we watched a gorgeous sunset. The plan is to do this again tomorrow!!
Last night I could not sleep though, I have a cold coming on in full force and it sucks. I'm never sick in the summer, this is so unfair!

Almost as good as the day at the beach here!
Your cold is coming on from lack of resting. Take it easy and enjoy more summer days.
Then in a week or so get back to your training (and take me on a boat next time!)

The weather was nice on Sunday, but still not as beautiful as today. PERFECT day to run! The pics from Lake Minnetonka are BEAUTIFUL!
- Danielle said...
Now I have to disagree about the cold...it's not that I haven't let myself rest, it might be I've rested too much!! I did 13 miles the week after the marathon and 24.5 last week...slow build up. And that's no more than I've ever done before. Immune system is just sometimes down after a big run, no matter what!!
It was a great day to be on the lake...I so thoroughly enjoyed it...and it was just a nice last night, although a bit chilly heading home!! I'll post pictures and info on that later.

Our friend with a boat moved away, and your pictures make me miss him/the boat! Your abs look really good (reminder to me to stop slacking on the crunches!)

What is 'Mortality Table'
A mortality table shows the rate of deaths occurring in a defined population during a selected time interval or survival from birth to any given age. Statistics included in a mortality table show the probability a person's death before their next birthday, based on their age. Mortality tables are also known as a "life tables," "actuarial tables" or "morbidity tables."
BREAKING DOWN 'Mortality Table'
Mortality tables are mathematically complex grids of numbers that show the probability of death for members of a given population within a defined period of time. Mortality tables are usually constructed separately for men and for women. Other characteristics can also be included to distinguish different risks, such as smoking status, occupation and socio-economic class. There are even actuarial tables that determine longevity in relation to weight.
The life insurance industry relies heavily on mortality tables, as does the U.S. Social Security Administration.
Mortality tables are based on characteristics, such as gender and age. A mortality table gives probabilities based in deaths per thousands, or the number of people per 1,000 living who are expected to die in a given year. Life insurance companies use mortality tables to help determine premiums and to make sure the insurance company remains solvent.
Mortality tables typically cover from birth through age 100, in one-year increments. You can use a mortality table to look up the probability of death for someone of any age. Not surprisingly, the probability of death increases with age.
Mortality Tables in Use
To use mortality tables, you first need the age of an individual to see what the table says about the chances that they will die when compared with the rest of the group. In the case of a newborn male, there is less than one half of one-10,000th of a percent that he will die when compared with the rest of the group. That would give him a life expectancy of around 75. However, according to the 2005 mortality table used by the Social Security Administration, a 119-year-old man has a more than 90 percent chance of dying when compared with the rest of the group, or a life expectancy of just over six months.
Individuals vs. Groups
Mortality tables less effective for individuals than they are for groups. This is so because mortality probability is a factor of more than just age and gender. Many variables must be considered in the insurance process. Making projections on the life or death of any specific individual is a complex actuarial process.

Despite the weather being much brighter today, the birding was much the same as yesterday. A walk over to the lake area was wasted, as the groundsman of one of the large gardens there, was using a chainsaw. A work party was in the tree nursery - as it will be all winter now, so I really only had Migrant Alley, and it's attendent LINNET, MEADOW PIPIT, SKYLARKS and PIED WAGTAILS to look over. A SPARROWHAWK seemed to turn up everywhere I went, so that didn't help matters, and a KESTREL was also over the stubbles, being harrassed by the corvids. So nothing much exciting happening, a usual October day.
It was this date last year that I started my blog, the year seems to have whizzed by. I hope all the people out there who read this diary get some inspiration from it! Thanks to all who visit anyway, and thanks for all the comments I get that I don't always get round to answering. I hope you'll stay with me for another year of ups and downs at pittswood!

Tee: Smart Set, Pants: Reitmans, Shoes: Franco Sarto (The Bay), Scarf: Mall Kiosk
This is my go-to outfit on days when I just don't feel like getting dressed; jeans, tee-shirt and printed scarf. It's pretty bare bones basic, but it gets me out of my pajamas. It's for days like today that I've amassed a rather large collection of bright and colourful scarves, because you never know when you'll need a pick me up.
Thankfully this week is looking like it will be a lot calmer than last so I am hoping to finish up a few more sewing projects, and put some more effort into my outfit posts. The weather is also finally making a change for the better which means we'll be breaking out our summer wardrobe soon enough. (Wow, can you believe I'm talking about the weather….major writer's block today).
What do you have planned this week? Anything exciting coming up?

Drug-Free Work Force Improves Bottom Line for Indiana Construction Occupational HazardsThe MCAI and Indiana Pipe Trades believe so strongly in the value of drug-testing, they have set in place a statewide drug and alcohol testing policy for their workers. 'Under the policy, all employees are expected to report to work free of alcohol and illegal drugs,' said Randy Brown, business manager of Local 136 in Evansville, Ind. Workers belonging to this local union receive the random drug-testing. 'Workers cannot sell, purchase, distribute, dispense, possess or use alcohol or drugs - or conspire to do any of these activities - on a worksite. Also, employees are expected not to misuse or abuse prescription or nonprescription medications.'

those of us with estranged parents, do you ever worry about what w ill happen when they die?(50 Posts)
I know this sounds warped, but I find myself worrying about how I will feel when my father dies. We haven't had any contact for around 4 years, during which time he has moved so I don't actually know where he is. I could find out if I was bothered I suppose. He has never met ds2 (who is now 6.5) and only met ds1 a couple of times. he is just not interested in us.
I've stopped grieiving for him and have explained to ds1 who asks questions that we don't need him as my step-dad is my 'chosen' as opposed to a birth dad and we love him and he is the best grand-father a boy could hope for. I have forced myself to disconnect emotionally from him now for my own mental health and well-being after years and years of emotional abuse.
But I know the issues will all emerge when he dies. His sister will tell me when it happens (though not his wife). I just don't know how I will feel. What if I feel toomuch? What if I feel nothing?
I should start saving up for some therapy shouldn't I for when this happens?
I havent spoken to my dad for 15 years or so. He's had a couple of heart attacks/strokes in that time and i believe is in a nursing home somewhere. Like you I suppose I could find out more if I so wished but tbh I am glad he isnt in my life. No idea how I'll feel when he dies but I feel no burning need to see him ever again.
Do you ever get emotional on father's day etc? For the dad you should have had?
i worry about this too with my mother, whom i've not seen in over 7 years, spoke to in over 3 (and when we did, it was not intended, i didnt know the number on my dad's called id and i picked up :i) she's never seen my son or met my husband.
i'm just not ready to forgive her yet.
I think it's good that you are thinking about this now because you still have time to consider your options. (I don't think it is warped at all). You may decide to continue to have nothing to do with him. Or, if you want to you still have the chance to meet up with him and find out if anything has changed. Obviously, only you know all the facts, but it is easier to think about it now and come to a decision, rather than waiting until the inevitable happens and there is no choice to be made then. My DH was estranged from his father for years but when he discovered that his father was terminally ill (his sister told him) he decided to visit him and I met him for the first time. I know DH was pleased that he saw him again (we had contact for a couple of months before his Dad died). I think it really helped to put to rest a lot of the bad things that had happened. His father did have a lot of regrets about the past which DH would not have known about had he chosen not to see him.
Of course, I don't know your circumstances and you have mentioned emotional abuse so it may be the best thing for you to come to the decision that you want nothing more to do with him. But at least you will have the knowledge that you have carefully thought about it and made your decision.
I keep forgiving him and trying again. he ends up screwing me up again. I retreat. This has been the pattern for over 10 years now.
How many times do you give someone One more chance without seeming like a mug?
I am just interested to hear how the rest of you cope? It was greensleeves other thread which got me thinking about this.
I haven't seen or spoken to my father (if you can call him that) for 13 years. Afaik he does not know where I am or that I am married with children, I think he is still where he was 13 years ago.
I don't get emotional about it on Father's Day. I celebrate the day with my DH and our children, he is a real father, not just the provider of some bit of DNA who then went on to abuse his position for years.
I am not angry with him anymore, my life is good and my family (including my Mum) are all happy and infinitely better off without him. That said, he will never come near my children and if he ever showed up on my doorstep I would telephone the police immediately to have him removed. When I hear (if I hear) that he is dead I suspect I will feel safe. There will be no more tiny niggling voice in the back of my head teling me that he could come back.
i sort of know how you feel.
My dad left my mum 15yrs ago, i saw him once a month for the first 6months then he stopped seeing us (my brother, sister and me). I didn't speak or see him for about 10 years. He then decided he waanted to see us again.
I saw him occasionly for about 2 years then he stopped seeing us again.
Then late last year he started to get ill and was finally diagnoised with abestoes (sp) and given a year to eighteen months and now he wants to see us (me, dh, dd and bump) at least once a month.
I think i have greived for him over the last 15years and i know it sounds cold but i can not feel any emotion about him dying. I see him and speak to him when he calls but it like talking to a friend not a parent if that makes sense.
I will just have to wait and see what happen if and when it happens.
I know what you mean. I haven't spoken to my dad for 10 yrs - though the occasional email and phone call. he just hasn't been interested.
Four years is still very early - it's only been the last couple of years that I hardly notice fathers day. I came to an acceptance that I had the father I had not the one I wanted around them (IYSWIM) and it helped.
But yes, good idea - start saving for the therapy now
i havent seen my mum for 15 years and not spoken to her in 6 years, and i dont know where she is, or anything about her. she doesnt know that i have a ds, or indeed anything about me. when i was pregnant i spent quite alot of time wondering if i should make an effort and try and find her, out of curiosity but there was also medical questions as well as feeling like i just wanted everything to be normal. i especially missed having a "mum" when i was pregnant but i came to realise that she would never be able to be what i wanted form her without some sort of emotional payoff from me which i was just not ready to give.
it has been so long since i have seen her that there can be no relationship between us anymore,and i have come to accept that she is just a biological connection, i worry about her a bit, as she had a brain tumor in the past and i believe she suffered from PND with me, but i dont think i will know if anything happens to her. but i dont regret not finding out, everytime i have tried, i have had it thrown back in my face. there comes a time when you have to accept your family situation for what it is and move on. i am a fantastic mummy (if i do say so myself) and i dont need her in my life.
i don't think its warped to think about if/when they die, they will at some point, its whether you are going to regret anything when they are gone.
I haven't spoken to my dad for about 4 years either. I have tried a couple of tiems to contact him (when ds and dd were born as I felt I should tell him about them) but he didn't respond. I do think about whether I will feel awful / regretful / nothing if and when he dies but to be honest the more time passes the more I feel reconciled to him not being a part of my life. I think the fact that I've tried to patch things up and he's always been difficult (even when we were speaking) makes me feel better about things.
I know how you feel - it's weird isn't it...
lizziemum -'' I see him and speak to him when he calls but it like talking to a friend not a parent if that makes sense. ''
YY, that's pretty much the stage I was at last time I tried to make a go out of a relationship with him....
Gosh, there's a few of us with these issue eh?
I find it impossible to cope with confrontation and I my worst fear is that I will ever start to treat my boys the way he treated us. Sometimes I can be a bit withering and I catch myself and go cold....
on reflection I also don't think that there's anything wrong with being regretful when they die. I will be, I am now. I wish we had a different relationship, I wish I was a better person and able to put behind me the way he behaved and start again. I know that perhaps we could develop a relationship of sorts but it can't be the way it was. It isn't possible to have a parent who treats you as if you don't exist and to not have that affect how you feel about them. It has been exaggerated by having DS - I just can't imagine how I could ever treat him the way my fatehr treated me (at one point I was in hospital having a biopsy for cancer and he never contacted anyone to find out the results).
it is nice to talk to people with a similar issue though isn't it?
I feel reassured knowing I'm not the only one with this problem (although, not glad others are going through it, iykwim!)
I agree with Kewcumber that it isn't necessarily bad to have regrets. I think lots of people have regrets even when their relationships are idyllic.
kewcumber! yes, it is good to see other people have had similar experiences. Anyone else gro up thinking it was their fault?
For years I thought it was muy mother's fault he was the way he is. And my brother and my sister's fault for being 'wrong'. Then as i grew older, I thought it must be me - you don't have to be Freud to work out the effects on one's self-esteem when a father finds you so uninteresting or unlikeable or whatever...that he is too busy to come and see your firstborn son until he is a year old. At this point he lived only 45 minutes' drive away...
Anyway, sorry, this isn't supposed to just be about me.
I guess it makes us all more determined to do better for our own families
I didn;t grow up thinking it was my fault becasue my dad didn;t turn into absent fatehr from hell until 10 years ago. He and I were very close particualrly when I was a teenager and I had maintained a good relationship with him since leaving home. He didn't come home from work one day, left a message in my sisters answerphone saying he was leaving my mum (who didn't know anything about it). They had had some problmes but we all thought they were through them (including my mum). I haven't seen him since. He had 5 grandchildren and three children and he really didn't keep in touch with any of us much, but now he says he wants to get to know DS.
What do I do? (Not really expecting an answer, but obviously part of me wants to get in touch...)
and actually it is supposed to be about you, you started the thread!
Message withdrawn
We have nothing to do with DH's parents and I have asked him how he would feel if they died. He said he feels as if they have died already.
Message withdrawn
I haven;t really made a decision. It was foisted upon me. He is estranged because he left and didn't tell us where he was for 3 years. The problem is that the part of me that wants to re-establish contact with him, wants it to be the way it was before and obviously it can;t - so much water unedr the bridge. The added complication of course is my lovely mum who is in remission from cancer. She would try to be understanding if me seeing him but I know that she would feel terribly hurt and I'm not sure I can do that to her at this point.
There isn;t a solution really. The point at which he made the decision not to see any of us, the dynamics of our relationship changed forever.
I i don;t feel that he has dies - his mother is still alive and in touch with us as is his sister and we live a parallel life where everyone accepts that he doesn;t see us but discusses him as if he does. Very odd.
This was the Family Forum Q in the Guardian on Saturday: My estranged mother is dying, should I go to see her?
Lots of opposing opinions!
I also struggle with this as I haven't spoken to my father for nearly 8 years now.
I find that I really resent all the images in the media (films, books, tv programs etc) suggest very strongly that you get one last chance to make it up and if you refuse then the parent will die horribly/comit suicide and you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Its like a "punishment" for refusing to forgive all the bad stuff, and just pretend life is wonderful again.
I have thought about this too, my father (biologically anyway) wants to be in contact with me, so its very much down to me that there is no contact.
The thing is the only thing I feel for him anymore, and thats not very often, is guilt, as I know that he thinks we could have this loving caring relationship and that I have been turned against him by my mum and dad (step).
The problem is that he has no idea what hte issues are, and is incapable of change. I don't want anything to do iwth the person he is and am not prepared to support his "everything is your mother's fault" world.
Sorry, apparently the "issues are still alive" in answer to the OP, i have thought about this, and I think I will feel a little guilty about it again, but recongise (which has taken me years) that in the end, even though he doesn't realise it, that this is all down to his choises.

You had us worried there for a while. In the wake of your inspiring and brilliant speech last week, one feels a little sheepish to have doubted you. Yet your trumpet on the Middle East had been, let's face it, a little uncertain during the past few months.
Back in April, when Israel was belatedly taking military action against the terrorists who have spattered its pizza parlors, bat mitzvah parties and supermarkets with blood and gore, you sternly called upon Prime Minister Sharon to pull out (though you would have scorned anyone who called upon the United States to pull out of Afghanistan at the start of Operation Enduring Freedom).
